00:28President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. held the first full cabinet meeting for the year 2025.
00:34According to Department of Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista,
00:38among the issues discussed in the implementation of the flagship program of the administration,
00:45including the right of way or problems in the areas that are blocked by projects,
00:52such as North to South Commuter Railway, Metro Manila Subway, MRT, and other projects
00:59that will improve public transportation.
01:02DOTR is already working to address the problems.
01:07The agency is coordinating with other government agencies,
01:11such as the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development,
01:15for the relocation of affected areas.
01:18DOTR assured that the administration's infrastructure projects will be completed in time.
01:25This is in spite of the VTU funding of Php 1 billion for their Infra and Public Works Project.
01:34Meanwhile, in the press briefing in Malacanang,
01:37Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin welcomed former Malacanang Spokesperson Salvador Panelo.
01:45Panelo called it dirty politics to remove Vice President Sara Duterte
01:51as a member of the National Security Council.
01:54According to Bersamin, Panelo has no moral authority to question this
01:59because Panelo helped remove former VP Robredo from the previous NSC administration.
02:07The NSC is an advisory council,
02:10which is why President Marcos has the right to choose a member of his trust.
02:16Here is his statement.
02:40The president has the right as well as the responsibility of seeing to it
02:49that whoever advises him is within his fullest trust and confidence.
03:10This is the latest news. Back to you, Angelique.
03:24Thank you very much, Clayzel Pardilla.
