00:26 Calihim's statement is in accordance with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. who said that the reclamation projects were suspended due to the implementation problem.
00:35 Secretary Loizaga also gave a statement that he is not afraid of the influential people who are pushing the reclamation projects in Manila Bay.
00:44 One clarification with the President, as you will see on the suspension, all are under review.
00:50 And so we're here at the point where the President has then issued a suspension of reclamation projects in Manila Bay.
00:58 We need to look into, number one, the environmental impacts, but also the social impacts of these activities.
01:07 And on the part of the DNR, we are, of course, as I have said before, looking into the compliances under which the ECCs and the area clearances were issued.
