00:00 Asalamualaikum. Madayaw umayong adlaw kaninong tanan. Magandang araw sa inyong lahat. As
00:10 we mark the commemoration of Typhoon Yolanda, we come together to remember and honor the
00:15 lives that were tragically taken away during one of the most devastating natural disasters
00:20 in our history. Typhoon Yolanda left an indelible mark on our hearts, but it also revealed the
00:27 extraordinary resilience and strength of those who were affected. In the midst of unimaginable
00:33 destruction, we witnessed the unwavering spirit of Filipinos who rose above adversity and
00:40 rebuilt their lives with determination and courage. This commemoration serves as a poignant
00:46 reminder of the importance of disaster risk reduction, climate change mitigation, and
00:51 disaster preparedness. It is crucial that we learn from the lessons of the past and
00:57 take proactive steps to prevent such catastrophic events from happening again. And true to our
01:03 panata na maging makakalikasan, we extend an invitation to all of you and humbly request
01:09 your support in joining us as partners for Pagbabago a Million Trees, a project of the
01:16 Office of the Vice President to plant a million trees by the year 2028. Likewise, by investing
01:24 in resilient infrastructure, early warning systems, and education on disaster preparedness,
01:30 we can safeguard our communities and mitigate the impact of future calamities. Let us also
01:37 acknowledge the tireless efforts of our brave first responders, volunteers, and humanitarian
01:43 organizations who during those darkest days worked tirelessly to provide aid, support,
01:49 and solace to those in need. Their dedication and selflessness were instrumental in helping
01:55 affected communities rebuild their lives and regain hope for a brighter future. Today,
02:02 as we remember the lives lost, let us unite in solidarity and commit ourselves to creating
02:09 a safer, more resilient future defined by sustainable development. Together, we can
02:16 build communities that are better prepared to face the challenges posed by natural disasters
02:21 and climate change.
02:23 Mga kababayan, patuloy tayo maging matatag sa pagtaguyod ng isang bansang makabata at
02:29 mga batang makabansa. Ang lahat ng ating ginagawa ay para sa Diyos, sa bayan, at sa pamilyang
02:35 Pilipino. Syukran.
02:37 [END]
