00:00The Senatorial Balls of the Alliance for a New Philippines were held in front of the public where they answered some of the current issues in the country.
00:07Details of that in the national news of Daniel Manalastas of PTV Manila Live. Daniel.
00:15Yes Joshua, the Senatorial Balls of the Alliance for a New Philippines answered some of the current issues in our country.
00:24Before the campaign, Raleigh Joshua was in front of a press conference and answered some of the current issues.
00:34Just like Joshua, the issue in the West Philippine Sea and the impeachment.
00:40Some of the candidates expressed their opposition to the negative campaigning.
00:45Some of the Senatorial Balls wanted to know how to help our country.
00:52And our people are tired of those.
00:57Many are hungry, many have no job, many have no livelihood and have not been able to send their children to school.
01:04That's what we have inside us. We are not hiding anything.
01:07Whatever we have inside us, we are letting you know that we want and aspire that the Philippines will rise.
01:17The Filipino people are tired. They are tired of this and that.
01:24It's still November, it's still last year.
01:27The mission of the candidates of the Alliance is to present ourselves so that people can see the performance of each one of us.
01:41While Joshua was in the West Philippine Sea, some of the candidates expressed their opposition to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s views.
01:56One of the reasons why I joined this Alliance is that we share the views of President and Vice President BBM.
02:07That the approach to this problem is multilateral, not just the Philippines-China.
02:14So what we are doing is right, the exercise of the week, the United States, Japan, Australia, the Philippines together.
02:21We won the Tribunal and that victory is ours.
02:26We cannot give it to others, it's ours.
02:30And from there, there is the multilateral approach that our government should do.
02:38Even though the Senators did not comment on the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte,
02:46they expressed their views on some of the rules of impeachment.
02:50Something that is being discussed right now.
02:55One hundred percent, somebody will take this to court.
02:58Because this is a justiciable issue.
03:02Being a justiciable issue, the Supreme Court can take it up.
03:07Whether they may continue or not.
03:10So the problem is, if the court decides that it cannot continue.
03:17So it is very, very premature and unfair to give a position on the impeachment this early.
03:26Candidates were also asked what are the first things they will do in order to win the Hotel of the City in 2025.
03:39The industries that provide a lot of jobs, such as construction or infrastructure,
03:46and also the tourism industry.
03:49Whatever sector or industry provides a lot of jobs, that is what we will support.
03:57Waiver of rights in the Bank Secrecy Act of all government officials,
04:02from the lowest clerk or janitor all the way up to the President.
04:10Even though Senator Bong Revilla did not attend the press conference,
04:15but he was thankful for the warm welcome of the people of Ilocos Norte.
04:19The Senator is thankful to President Marcos for his strong leadership in the alliance.
04:24Even though he did not attend the press conference,
04:26he was present at the campaign rally of Senator Pia Cayetano, Senator Lito Lapid,
04:32and Senator Aimee Marcos, where the people of Ilocos Norte welcomed them warmly.
