00:12Details in the national news of Clay Zell Pardilla of PTV Manila.
00:19During the election, according to President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.,
00:24in the local and barangay, the fight is the hottest.
00:29The hottest election is being fought by the local government.
00:34As a matter of fact, I think, you may agree with me, mayors, you can see this,
00:40the hottest election is the barangay.
00:42That's the hottest because everyone knows each other, everyone is related.
00:47That's why it's personal.
00:50Before the 28th of March, or the start of the campaign for the candidates in the provinces,
00:58cities, and barangays, President R. Marcos reminded us,
01:02In the heat of the campaign, in the heat of the election,
01:07let's not forget that we are here,
01:12we entered the public service to help the people.
01:18More than 1,006 mayors in cities and municipalities
01:23will participate in the upcoming midterm election.
01:27Before the termination of the candidates,
01:30President R. Marcos said that the League of Municipalities of the Philippines
01:34will hold a two-year meeting.
01:37One question is important.
01:40Will the lives of Filipinos be better because of our actions?
01:45If your answer is yes, we know that we have fulfilled our duty.
01:50And whatever path you choose after this,
01:53whether you seek another mandate or move on to a new chapter in your lives,
01:58I trust that you will embrace the same grit, passion, and commitment to service.
02:03President R. Marcos assured continuous assistance to local governments
02:09to provide proper and high-quality public services.
02:14Including the implementation of the electronic business one-stop shop.
02:19Last year alone, more than 100 LGUs followed E-Boss.
02:23One thousand and two hundred started the automation of their transactions.
02:28The implementation of the new electronic procurement system
02:31and the distribution of products and services to the public
02:35will not only speed up the process, but will also help fight corruption.
02:41We need to use the best technology
02:46to provide the best service to the people.
02:50This will help us to be faster, more affordable,
02:56and more accountable in all our actions for the people.
