00:30the message and program to our ordinary Filipinos.
00:36What we want to happen is for people to know that the government is for the people.
00:45There are many programs that people need to know.
00:49Education programs, free homes,
00:52well, not necessarily, but state-owned homes
00:57Also, to our fellow Filipinos, the government needs to get closer to the people.
01:03The first order of our President is that the message of the government should be known by the people,
01:11especially what they need to know,
01:14like free scholarships,
01:16like those who are sick and need help,
01:20where to go, they need to know that.
01:24The goal is always clear, precise, informative, and educational information.
01:31For our people to have an informed decision.
01:36Because information is very important to people.
01:41So that is the order of the President, very clear.
01:45He said that ordinary Filipinos should know all the programs that can help people.
01:53People first, before everything else.
01:55Of course, we also need to fight fake news,
02:00especially the lies.
02:02Because that is what is bad for us.
02:05There are many lies that are being told to us,
02:08that there are no facts,
02:11based on facts.
02:13Our facts should be truthful.
02:15That is what is true about us.
02:17We are not liars.
02:19Lies are prohibited.
02:21Of course, there are many fake news.
02:23We will fight that.
02:25We will have public information responsibilities.
02:28If you are a vlogger,
02:30we need to be responsible.
02:32It is the responsibility of a person to tell the truth.
02:36So, we at PCO,
02:41I know that there is a lot of help
02:43to make the truth
02:47here in the government of Marcos.
02:50Secretary Luis, will the President allow you to speak for him?
02:57We just have to clarify issues.
02:59Attorney Claire here,
03:01Usec Claire Castro will be the one briefing us
03:05on issues of the day.
03:07And she will be the one doing the briefing.
03:10She is going to be heading the briefing
03:13with the Malacanang Press Corps.
03:15My call to the Malacanang Press Corps,
03:18we are not allies.
03:20We are partners in the development of communication.
03:25We are partners in giving the truth.
03:28And of course, as a citizen,
03:31we should not just believe in lies.
03:33We should fight fake news.
03:36So, will the spokespersons be here?
03:39Actually, the President will speak for himself.
03:44We will be the ones to explain, to expound
03:48what the directive is,
03:50what the message and pronouncement of the message is.
03:53And what we want is to deliver the message
03:56not only to the media,
03:58but also to the people.
04:00The truth,
04:02not intrigues without evidence,
04:05or stories that are just planted with evidence.
04:08So, we will avoid it.
04:10We will stick to the truth.
