00:00 Can you tell us what the public should expect from the Congress?
00:04 Well, basically, this is the coverage of PTV that will air on one channel of PTV.
00:13 All the activities of Congress, especially the hearings,
00:18 our everyday activities, including the committee hearings in the morning and the sessions,
00:24 this is like a copy of the US C-SPAN, where there are hearings and discussions.
00:33 Not only in the US, but also in Korea, where the senators and congressmen are even knocking on the door.
00:39 It's like that. So, for the people to see, actually we're doing it now, we have a Facebook live, right?
00:45 We'll just bring all of this to the TV.
00:47 So, this is one of the channels of PTV.
00:50 Because there's something, not all people have cellphones or internet, right?
00:57 There are old school people who can just remember at home.
01:00 So, they can watch what we are doing here, what's happening in Congress at this very hour, right?
01:05 I believe, this is until midnight, but it's not 24 hours.
01:09 So, there are days like that, there's no session.
01:12 There are days when the committee hearings are replayed.
01:15 We thought it's not important, we can watch it on this channel.
01:19 The legislative hearings that the congressmen promised, you can watch it here, what I'm doing.
01:27 This is nice because people can see what we do, what you guys do in Congress.
01:34 So, we'll just show what we do, what we're discussing, why the opposition, minority, majority, are discussing,
01:43 why the law is being passed for a long time, we'll know it here on Congress TV.
01:48 You'll know what we're doing in one law, what the lawmakers are doing.
01:54 Of course, it will be broadcast on PTV, but are you hoping that there will be coverage for other networks,
02:02 also cable operators, so that the reach of Congress TV can be more expanded on digital TV?
02:09 I think it will start with you guys, the press corps, that you can get whatever is material here on Congress TV,
02:17 radio, of course, because it's government, maybe they'll just let us know if they'll use a channel,
02:23 a private TV station or radio, it's possible.
02:27 Because it's a government-run station, so it can be used.
02:33 Basically, it's just, there's nothing extraordinary, it's just, it will just reach people,
02:38 what the congressmen do, the hearings every afternoon, what the process is,
02:45 there are first readings, second readings, people don't understand, what is this first reading,
02:49 is this a symbol, what's next to the second reading, is it a gospel?
02:53 You won't know this, why are there bans, there are vetoes, right?
02:58 Then in the committee hearings, Congress TV is also there,
03:02 so there will be a big hearing or a small hearing, PTV will cover it, so it can be broadcast, so it can reach people.
03:10 But we are already doing this, unfortunately, it's on social media, but not all people are on social media, right?
03:17 So for our province-to-province people, who don't have cellphones, laptops, internet,
03:25 they can watch it on TV, so they can know what's happening in Congress.
03:29 Sir, would you confirm this month, this month is the launch?
03:32 I haven't talked to the GM yet of PTV regarding this, but I know it's very very soon they're preparing.
03:40 Hopefully, when the opening session is on the 22nd, it will be there. Hopefully.
03:45 Thank you.
03:46 Thank you.
03:47 Thank you.
03:48 Thank you.
03:49 Thank you.
03:50 Thank you.
03:52 Thank you.
03:54 Thank you.
