00:21In the coming weeks, the camera will use their oversight function to observe and make sure that the citizens are using their rights correctly.
00:29Based on the needs of the citizens.

01:35It is heavy for him to make the decision that the reason is his health.
01:39That he needs to give priority.
01:41In the past three years, he has been proud of his accomplishments.
01:46Like the assistance to the Kaposang Kita Program and as the President of the Budget,
