00:00We will be announcing major transparency reforms, beginning with the portal, with the gunship, and other things under the president's directives.

00:11And I think if we are able to do that, together with other reforms,

00:15it's hard to do that.

00:17It's unprecedented when it comes to account.

00:21It's been a long time.

00:23God, it's been a long time.

00:27It's been a long time.

00:31So I think that's very important.

00:34And we will be working with the LGUs.

00:37Not just for that, but other things as well.

00:40And I'll say to you about classrooms,

00:44a long time ago,

00:46you will have to help with the DPUH,

00:50for the LGUs and the mayor.

00:53But why not?

00:56Because maybe when the mayor Joy,

01:01and the mayor Benji,

01:03they have to do it.

01:05Why not?

01:07That's the reason why we didn't do it.

01:11But now, I said to myself,

01:13I'm going to go to the next day.

01:15Let's start with classrooms.

01:17Let's start with the classrooms.

01:19Let's start with the health facilities.

01:23Let's start with it.

01:25We need to do it.

01:27And if we all are one in transparency,

01:31then we can do it.
