00:00It's the economy stupid. The enduring cataphrase, for catchphrase rather, from feisty Democrat and Bill Clinton political advisor James Carville during the 1992 presidential elections campaign, which only means the economy is always top issue among the electorate in any free and democratic nation.
00:20No surprise, the Marcos Jr presidency as growing the economy, his top priority in his working agenda. And he was quick to acknowledge and thank the Filipino labor force as key to the nation always maintaining a high GDP growth each year. He also touted the country's improving state of public transportation, which he vowed will culminate in a working subway system in the megacity before he steps down from power.
00:47Then he cited how his administration intends to broaden the coverage of free Wi-Fi or Internet connectivity running at respectable speed. In addressing climate change, the president reminded the public how his government continues to build flood control infrastructure in the megacity and elsewhere.
01:05And ultimately, he made his case for the Alianza Senate slate by reminding the people sustaining all these programs of government hinges on putting the best people in government who will make it all happen.
