Transcript

00:00 It is considered that the camera can record the broadcast of Congress TV on television that can be watched on your television of the country.

00:07 This is part of their initiative to provide information and service for the Filipinos.

00:13 Reporting by Mela Las Moras, Rise and Shine Mela.

00:16 Like the mass and symbol of democracy.

00:22 That is how House Speaker Martin Romualdez depicted the Congress TV broadcasted by the camera.

00:29 This is where the People's Television Network or PTV is located.

00:33 Congress TV is a free-to-air digital channel.

00:37 This is where the House of Representatives' hearings, sessions, and other activities are held.

00:42 According to the camera's leader, this project is part of the promise that no Filipino will be left behind in information and service.

00:50 Because the public will be updated, there will be a chance for the people to be part of the creation of laws.

00:58 In an age where information is both a tool and a weapon, the onus is on us, the elected representatives of the people,

01:05 to ensure that the power of information is harnessed to empower, educate, and engage.

01:13 It is with immense pride and a profound sense of duty that we, in collaboration with PTV4, unveil Congress TV.

01:23 This initiative is not just a channel, it's a bridge.

01:28 A bridge that connects the hallowed halls of the House of Representatives to every home, every school, and every Filipino.

01:37 In addition, House Deputy Majority Leader for Communications Erwin Tulfo said that the camera was previously active online,

01:44 but it still has a different impact and impact on television.

01:48 One might wonder, what's the difference?

01:51 Well, congressional hearings and sessions are shown live on Facebook and other social media sites.

01:59 The distinction lies in its unprecedented reach and accessibility.

02:04 Congress TV breaks barriers by being available on free TV.

02:08 PTV Network General Manager Ana Pood hopes that the public will support this project.

02:15 She also said that the network will work hard to make the service better for Filipinos.

02:22 I, conservatively, just want to be number two.

02:24 But my bosses would want, even President Marcos, would want PTV to be number one.

02:32 So, we are sorry to our opponents.

02:36 We are not taking a break because the target given to us is clear.

02:42 And I'm not stopping. PTV is not stopping so that we can fight together with other networks.

02:50 Aside from Congress TV, there are other big projects for national television.

02:56 Even the PTV General Manager said that they will be the new project.

03:02 I'll announce it here now, but January 31, we're going to launch Unity League.

03:07 It's an e-sports national competition.

03:10 Our first leg is Mobile Legends National Tournament.

03:17 We will be giving away millions of pesos.

03:19 And we're going to ask LGUs to come up with their own e-sports team.

03:30 And the winner will not only receive a cash prize,

03:36 but they can also vie to become a national athlete.
