00:05I believe our dear President BBM will be having a state visit in the United States of America.

00:12I hope there was already a 20% tariff rate in possession for all the goods coming from the Philippines to the United States of America.

00:28So, I hope that with the state visit of our President, bumaba ang 20% to hopefully 10% parang Singapore.

00:39Ano ang ina-expect ninyong marinig from BBM sa kanyang zona?

00:44Yun nga po, nasa napagbalik ng ating mahal na Presidente, isa sa mga good news ang ating pagbaba ng 20% tariff rate

00:55na binigay ng United States na inimpose ng US sa mga goods from the Philippines to America.

01:04And syempre, I stand with our President sa call and sa kanyang paniniwala na protektahan ang ating West Philippine Sea.

01:14So, I wish that there will be a strengthened regional security of our nation.

01:21Thank you very much.
