00:24Genuine cooperation between government and the private sector
00:28can help achieve change that is sustainable, meaningful, and inclusive.
00:58in the field of medical services and environmental protection.
01:03For 28 years, she has taught at public universities and colleges.
01:10She was chosen by the First Lady to be a mentor and guide for a batch of students.
01:16Out of embarrassment, the First Lady witnessed their change,
01:22their success in completing her studies and becoming a lawyer.
01:27The Love for All project was also led by the First Lady
01:31which provides free laboratories, consultations, and medicines
01:35to help the private sector and volunteer groups.
01:40This is in keeping with the words of my husband when he says
01:44that government must bring medical services to the people and not the other way around.
01:50So what started as a project that provided free medical services
01:56grew into a caravan that offered business mentorships, legal services,
02:03scholarships, seedlings for farmers, and much more.
02:07The First Lady also encouraged the creation of the Inter-Agency Committee
02:12of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
02:14that pushes for reforms to revive the Pasig River.
02:20The quality of the water in the river and the construction of a walkway were improved.
02:26All of this was achieved thanks to the cooperation between the government,
02:35the private sector, and our citizens who are ready to serve.
02:40Meanwhile, at the World Government Summits,
02:43the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates held two meetings
02:48including the Memorandum of Understanding between the Philippine government
02:52and the non-profit organization Clean Rivers Abu Dhabi
