00:10 And from Hawaii, live from the country, Maris Ivan.
00:14 Maris.
00:16 Ivan, Pia, Aloha.
00:20 It's almost 12 o'clock here in Honolulu, Hawaii.
00:24 And for the first time ever, after more than three decades,
00:28 President Bombom Marcos is returning to Hawaii,
00:31 but this time, as the President of the Philippines.
00:35 Let me say what I have waited a very long time to say.
00:41 Aloha.
00:44 Following his arrival in Hawaii,
00:46 the first activity of President Bombom Marcos
00:48 was a visit to the Filipino community,
00:50 which was accompanied by a loud cheering and standing ovation.
00:53 The President will bring the debt of love that the countrymen have been holding in Hawaii.
00:59 One of the 90-year-old volunteers, Joe Lazo,
01:02 is a close friend of Marcos.
01:05 Marcos gave him a hand in his journey.
01:08 Former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.'s Presidential Security Command was also there.
01:13 His countrymen will be in Sarat, Ilocos Norte, which is now in Hawaii.
01:18 The President also took a moment of silence to remember the victims of the wildfire.
01:25 These are the people who kept body and soul together of the Marcos family.
01:33 When I tell this story, people do not believe it.
01:37 They do not quite believe it.
01:38 But we landed here with nothing.
01:41 Even our last clothes, they gave it to us.
01:45 They fed us.
01:47 If it wasn't for you, I think the Marcos family would not be here.
01:51 I will never forget it.
01:53 Outside the Hawaii Convention Center,
01:56 there were rallyists who also visited the President.
01:59 Before going to Hawaii, the President also helped the Filipino community in Los Angeles, California.
02:03 And the Filipinos have a great debt to our economy.
