01:07that the adhika'i of the party was explained here
01:10that not to be the greatest and the strongest
01:15but to be united and to help the country.
01:20The members of the party helped the country.
01:24When the campaign period comes, we are too busy,
01:29we think a lot, we go to a lot of places.
01:33But before we start, let's not forget
01:37why we are united under the flag of the PFP.
01:46Our party must be strong
01:49but the real reason why we are united
01:56is so that all who can understand our desire for unity
02:04so that all who can help us in the improvement of the Philippines
02:11are with us and we have our own plan,
02:14we have a goal for our country.
02:22The President also reminded the members of the party
02:24of what kind of duty each member has
02:27that even if they receive some sarigmatikos,
02:30spicy and painful words, they must endure.
02:35We are patient, we make sacrifices
02:38and sometimes we endure the painful words
02:44and the spicy words of our opponents
02:48because we believe in what we are doing.
02:52The President also added that these principles will only be fulfilled
02:56through elections.
02:58If so, the party will hold a convention in different parts of the country
03:03to know the needs of the citizens of each member of the PFP.
03:09How do we make those principles into reality?
03:14And that's what these elections are all about.
03:17We will hold other kinds of conventions in different places
03:23so that our leaders can hear the needs of our candidates
03:30while it's still early, while we still have a chance to gather everyone.
03:36The leader of the PFP needs to know what else we can help
03:43because the party is there to help all the members.
03:49The President also made the PFP the strongest party in the country.
03:56And trust me, the PFP is the strongest party in the country today
04:08and the PFP, that strong party, is behind you all the way.
