00:00 This impressive complex is proof of concept that that idea, that that principle, that that concept
00:07 does in fact succeed. What you have built here is more than a cutting-edge technology. It is a
00:13 testament to Filipino skill, a proof of business confidence, an example of manufacturing resurgence,
00:21 and a realization of the vision of a great Filipino industrialist, the patriot John
00:27 Gokongwe. His is a story of guts and grit for the ages. We are all familiar with this rise
00:37 from very humble beginnings to what now we see as these grand projects of a national,
00:45 of national importance. Losing his father and their fortune early in life, he rode a bicycle
00:53 to pedal wares to support his family. From there on, he never stopped venturing to new frontiers,
01:00 combining audacity with acumen to launch great products that capture Filipino hearts and in
01:06 the process generate profit with honor. So it gives me tremendous hope that Mr. John's
01:12 strong belief in our Filipino and his abiding faith in his, in our country are the same forces
01:18 that drive the worthy stewards of his legacy to never stop making the lives of Filipino people
01:25 better.
01:26 you
