00:00The president touted a nearly insurgency-free status quo nationwide along with improved numbers of crime deterrence in his law and order agenda,
00:09but then vowed to put resolution and closure to the missing cockfighting gamers whose remains have yet to be found.
00:16Dwelling on the results of the May midterm polls, whose winners he all congratulated,
00:21the president drew one loud and clear message from the electorate he relayed to his peers in government service.
00:26Step up your game to the level of play lest find yourselves on the sidelines.
00:31The full report from our Harley Valbuena.
00:35As an opener for his fourth State of the Nation address,
00:40President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. greeted the 12 newly elected senators and 314 district and party list representatives from the 2025 midterm elections.
00:52While praising Filipinos, particularly the youth voters, the president said he learned a lesson from the results of the 2025 polls.
01:02Malinaw sa akin ang mensahe ng naging resulta ng halalang.
01:07Bigo at dismayado ang mga tao sa pamahalaan, lalo na sa mga pangungunahing servisyo.
01:14Ang leksyon sa atin ay simple lamang.
01:17Kailangan pa natin mas lalong galingan.
01:20Kailangan pa natin mas lalong bilisan.
01:23On matters of security, President Marcos said that there is already no guerrilla group in the country
01:30and the rebel returnees will now partner with the police and military in promoting peace.
01:37At sa wakas, wala na ring nalalabing grupong guerrilla sa bansa.
01:42Titiyakin ng pamahalaan na wala na mabubuo muli.
01:46Magkakasanga ngayon ang AFP, PNP at mga dating rebelde sa pagpapanatili ng kaiusan at kapayapaan sa barm.
01:59He also assured continuous strengthening of the police force and the armed forces by pushing for their modernization.
02:08While the crime rate in the country is declining,
02:10The President said the active presence of police in communities alone will not stop crime.
02:17That's why it is important to effectively implement the five-minute response rule.
02:22He also warned of grave penalties for those responsible for what happened to the missing cockfighting enthusiast.
02:31Hahabulin at pananagutin natin ang mga utak at mga sangkot si billion man opisyal.
02:40Kahit malakas, mabigat, umayaman, hindi sila mangingiwabaw sa batas.
02:51Moreover, the President also lauded the confiscation of almost P83 billion worth of illegal drugs,
02:59wherein over 130,000 drug suspects were arrested, and more than 9,600 of them are high-value targets.
03:07On the allegation that drug pushers are back in the streets,
03:12he assured operations will continue against big-time and small-time drug dealers.
03:19On the West Philippine Sea issue,
03:21the Philippine leader said that maritime patrolling will be enhanced,
03:26but the country will stay calm and diplomatic.
03:28The country's foreign policy will also not change in light of the country's hosting of the 2026 ASEAN Summit.
03:37Then, as now, our foreign policy remains the same.
03:43The Philippines is a friend to all.
03:45The Philippines is an enemy to none.
03:48That will be our main focus as we, the Philippines, host the ASEAN Summit in 2026.
03:55The Philippines is a friend to all.
