00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr. has one paramount and overriding mission as the country's duly constituted authority to serve the Filipino people.
00:09Thus, never quitting is an option.
00:12Our Kenneth Paschenta tells us why the president remains calm and laser focused on his working agenda despite the tumult and the trials testing his presidency these days.
00:21Amid the noise of politics and the issues being thrown at him, President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr. simply continues with his work.
00:31This was emphasized by the palace following calls from some groups for him to resign due to various issues, such as corruption allegations and the latest claims made by his older sister, Senator Aimee Marcos.
00:43The palace stressed that the president is not the type to run away from problems.
00:47O kailangan pa po bang i-memorize ito?
00:50Lahat naman yata ng supporter ng vice-presidente ang nais ay paalisin sa pwesto ang Pangulo.
00:56Bakit? Para pumalit ang vice-presidente?
01:01So, option ba ito?
01:04The president is still working and keeps on working for the country.
01:09So, hindi po option sa administrasyon, sa Pangulo, ang pagbibitiw.
01:14Ang Pangulo ay matapang, nahaharapin kung ano man ang suliranin ng bansa.
01:19At sila, mga nag-iingay, sila ay ingay lamang.
01:23When asked whether the senator's actions were an attack or an act of affection from a sibling,
01:28the palace responded,
01:30Can it be called affection if it is meant to malign?
01:33The palace also addressed the senator's allegation that the president had been involved in illegal drugs issues since he was young.
01:40So, parang may nabasa ako sa isang news na ang ating Pangulo ay nag-donate ng kanyang kidney sa kanyang ama.
01:50A paano po kayo makakapag-donate ng kidney ang isang tao na hindi healthy?
01:55So, banat o pagmamahal?
01:58Pagmamahal ba ang paninira sa sariling kapatid?
02:04Paninirang walang basihan.
02:05So, alam naman natin, muli uulitin ko,
02:10mas pinoprotektahan niya ang mga taong may issue about corruption,
02:15mas pinoprotektahan niya ang mga taong umamin na murderer.
02:18Kesa sa kapatid niya na nagsasagawa lamang ng pagpapaimbestiga
02:22para mawala, masuk po ang korupsyon sa bansa.
02:26As for the senator's challenge that she would agree to a DNA test
02:30if the president would submit to a hair follicle test,
02:33the palace answered,
02:34Uulit-ulitin ko, paulit-ulit,
02:39ang Pangulo po ay malinis
02:40at ang Pangulo po ay hindi magpapadala
02:44sa anumang pag-uudyok.
02:47Pag-uudyok ng mga destabilizers,
02:49pag-uudyok ng mga obstructionists
02:51na walang gagawin kundi
02:53magbigay ng mga kondisyon,
02:56magbigay ng pag-uuto sa Pangulo
02:58kahit hindi na po ito naaayon sa kanyang pagtatrabaho.
03:01The palace also emphasized that these issues will not affect the president's governance.
03:06Instead, they will only reflect poorly on those spreading falsehoods.
03:11So, hindi po ito makakasira sa Pangulo
03:14dahil alam ng taong bayan,
03:16mas maraming taong bayan ang naniniwala
03:18sa ginagawa ng Pangulo
03:20para sagpuin ang korupsyon.
03:22The AFP's trust in the president also remains intact.
03:26Hindi mabigat ang aligasyon ni Sen. Aimee.
03:29Walang basihan.
03:32Kwentong walang kwenta.
03:33Kwentong kutsero.
03:35So, bakit magkakaroon ng pag-aalala
03:37ang mga miyembro ng AFP?
03:41Wala, hindi dapat sirisohin
03:42ang mga aligasyon ni Sen. Aimee.
03:44Isa lamang itong ingay.
03:47For now, the palace says
03:48there are no plans to pursue any legal action
03:51against Sen. Aimee Marcos.
