00:00Ito ganun din ang estimate na kapag nalinis natin lahat ng mga ilong, lahat ng mga creek, lahat ng mga estero, matanggal lang natin ang basura at makapag-bredge tayo ang estimate ng ating mga scientists ay sabi nila mamabawasan ang paha by 50 to 60 percent at least.
00:22Kaya napaka-importante itong programang ito kaya binabala natin sa Ipatibang Dunsut around the country kung saan ang kikita natin talagang nag-apapagal.
00:33Ito naman, dito naman tayo para tignan itong ating bagong terminal.
00:39After this, we will go to the old building which was the old terminal before na ginanong po sa lahat ng tao dito.
00:49Hindi alam na kung kailan pa ginawa, pero 60s daw. Kaya kailangan nang baguhin.
00:54So that's what we have done here.
00:57This is now going to be the standard design for our terminals, for our ports around the country.
01:06And the reason it's important to have a standard design is so that ang tao, ang masahero, dahil saan sumasakay, saan bumababa,
01:14alam nila kung saan bibili ng tiket, saan samasakay, saan papasok, saan sila makatadaan, all of that.
01:22And that's why we are hoping the original traffic dito was 50 kaya ng old building.
01:31Yung old building kaya mag-process na 50 passengers at any one time.
01:36Ngayon, ang capacity ngayon dito is 500 passengers.
01:41Kaya malaking bagay at saka nakita naman ninyo.
01:44Diba na talaga pagka maayos at ma-etwalas at make the traveling experience para sa ating mga kapapayan a little more pleasant.
01:53So now we will go to the end of the pier.
01:57Titignan natin yung old building kung anong dapat gawin.
