00:00Ma'am, on a different topic, what's your reaction to the imposed sanctions of the United States to the Philippines? Tariffs, I'm sorry, not sanctioned, the tariffs.
00:11Well, dapat yan unang-una, expected na darating na yan, diba? Kasi pag-upong pa lang ni President Trump ay nagsabi na siya na isa yan sa mga priority niya na gagawin.
00:24So, dapat meron ng plano ang ating economic team kung ano ang gagawin doon sa mga i-impose na tariff sa ating pagninegosyo sa United States of America.
00:42At dapat meron na rin team, core team doon galing sa bigger economic team na makikipag-usap, dialogo sa kanilang counterpart doon sa U.S. government.
