00:00I'm going to talk about another issue related to Typhoon Bay.

00:04We know how to approve the request of the Secretary John Vickrey Muria

00:10to announce the suspension of work and classes.

00:14What is the wisdom of the DIL?

00:16So that dissemination of information is better.

00:20I think it's very simple.

00:22Because if there's...

00:24For example, it affects you.

00:28Where do you go?

00:30Which website do you consult?

00:32So if you're like this,

00:34the SILG will make the announcement.

00:39And that's what's the...

00:42There's no fake news.

00:44That's the truth.

00:46So it's just simple.

00:48It's just to make things clear.

00:50Because sometimes,

00:52because they're not malicious.

00:56They're just misinformed.

00:58And they're just post.

01:00They're just using people.

01:02So we're just trying to improve that system.

01:10Sir, Secretary Muria has been growing flack

01:14for how he actually tweets or posts his statement.

01:19In the words of netizens,

01:21it's too informal.

01:23Medyo padrope po kasi yung sabi niya.

01:25Have you advised this on his matter?

01:27What do you make out of these criticisms?

01:29And go ahead, sir.

01:31I don't know.

01:33I don't know.

01:35I don't know.

01:37Criticize people.

01:39Criticize me for the way I speak.

01:41That's the way I speak.

01:43That's the way he speaks.

01:45As long as he gets the message across.

01:49That's what it's for.

01:51That's what all of these postings are for.

01:53He gets some information across.

01:55And as long as he achieves that,

01:57then he manages to do what he sets out to do.

02:03I don't really.

02:05I don't...

02:07I am not a...

02:11I'm not exactly a judge of...

02:17How do you say?

02:19Literary style?

02:21I don't know how you want to put it.

02:23So that's really...

02:25I would consider that out of my...

02:27That's my purpose.
