00:00We have 167 malasakit centers and you have your own malasakit center in your provincial hospital.

00:08We visited Governor Johan last month in your hospital.

00:14If you have a patient who can't operate there, if you need to bring him to Manila,

00:19I will help as much as I can.

00:22I will also take care of your patient as long as I can.

00:27Second, Superhealth Center.

00:30What is a Superhealth Center? It's a medium type of a polyclinic.

00:34That's it.

00:36That's where you will get consulted.

00:38That's why I said that Superhealth Centers should get accredited in the Consulta Program

00:44because all Filipinos are members of PhilHealth.

00:49And the consultation registration is still very small.

00:55Only 27 million out of 115 million Filipinos will register.

01:02There is no one-four yet.

01:04That's why I'm talking to PhilHealth to ask for an information drive.

01:08One day, someone approached me.

01:10He was my captain.

01:13He said, how can I register in PhilHealth?

01:17I'm talking to PhilHealth.

01:19Can you give me your information drive?

01:22Can you give me your ID?

01:24Even if it's just a simple ID, I will validate it.

01:27We have a show and campaign for Filipinos.

01:32It's very simple. It's very common sense.

01:34Just give me your ID so I can show the patient.

01:38Whenever they get sick, they know where they are going.

01:42That's what I'm talking about.

01:44Now, let me go back to the Superhealth Centers.

01:46There are Superhealth Centers that are going to be built in the whole Philippines.

01:50There are more than 700 Superhealth Centers that are going to be built in the whole Philippines.

01:55Including 10 in the province of Aklan.

02:04Kalibo, Boracay, Ibahay, Malete, Baga, Batan, Malay, Navas, New Washington, and San Lucia.

02:19Those are 10 Superhealth Centers.

02:21When the time comes, let's build more.

02:25Let's bring the medical services to our countrymen.

02:28Let's bring the medical services to our countrymen.

02:32Take a look at this.

02:34You know how beautiful Aklan is.

02:37Tourists are there.

02:39When there is tourism, there is work, there is income, there is food for our countrymen.

02:48Boracay is an island.

02:52I just want to tell you, I'm so happy.

02:54I visited Boracay last week.

02:57I was invited by the leader of Boracay.

03:01Boracay is so beautiful now.

03:03The drainage system was bad before.

03:06There was smell, there was flood, there was mud.

03:09Now, it's all good.

03:11It was a bit tough because of the political will of the President Duterte.

03:14He closed it for a while.

03:16But now, Boracay has become better.

03:20And you are the ones who will benefit from this.

03:22Our countrymen in Aklan.

03:25Aklan is an island.

03:27There should be super health centers and hospitals there.

03:30So that we can respond quickly.

03:32We should pay attention to this.

03:35Because most of our countrymen have no jobs.

03:39They are so poor.

03:41They are thinking.

03:42They are lonely.

03:44How can we educate our children?

03:46How can we live?

03:48That is our problem.

03:50We don't have a livelihood.

03:52That is our problem.

03:54We really need to have a law.

03:57A strong law.

03:59For us to have a livelihood for our countrymen.

04:04Just like what you bought.

04:07Rice.

04:08Food.

04:09You said it will be 20 pesos for a kilo of rice.

04:14Did you buy it?

04:17Did you have it?

04:19Food.

04:21Rice.

04:22Fish.

04:23480 pesos for a kilo.

04:26How many people are there?

04:29One mother.

04:31Three or four children.

04:34500 pesos.

04:36I will go to the market.

04:38I will buy it.

04:39What is he thinking?

04:40He is looking at the prices.

04:42500 pesos.

04:44He is looking.

04:45He will buy it.

04:46And he will make sure that he has enough money to give to his children.

04:55Will you allow this to happen to our lives?

05:01I can't take it anymore.

05:03I will punch him in the heart.

05:06Just like what I said.

05:07If you want my life, I will give it to you.

05:10Just give me a chance.

05:13I will not take it.

05:16The third question.

05:18We are always saying that the future of our country is in the hands of the youth.

05:25That is true.

05:27That is true.

05:29But what if we will leave their needs to their school?

05:36To their education?

05:39To private schools?

05:44To their books?

05:46To their notebooks?

05:48To their school supplies?

05:53Especially to their matriculation exams.

05:57To public schools?

06:00We have a lot of teachers.

06:03That is true.

06:05But what about their class buildings?

06:09What about their schools?

06:12There is a shortage.

06:14In a single school, there are 80 to 90 students.

06:21Some of them have to go to school early.

06:24Some of them have to go to school late.

06:26Some of them have to get up in the afternoon.

06:28At 6 in the morning, the class starts.

06:31At 12 noon, the class ends.

06:33In the afternoon, from 1 in the afternoon to 6 in the evening,

06:37what will they learn if they will get up and sit in the classroom?

06:45If I will pray to the Lord,

06:50with the help of my countrymen,

06:52with the help of you,

06:54if possible,

06:58I will increase the funding for education.

07:03We need our children.

07:07We need to increase the funding for public schools.
