00:00President Marcos is seeking your replacement allegedly because of the issues, various issues that the DOH is facing?

00:09There's no truth to that. I think you said earlier yesterday that there is no revamp of the cabinet.

00:15But we in the cabinet all serve as the pleasure of the president.

00:19So if ever the president wants to take me, that is the prerogative of our president.

00:23We continue to fulfill all his mandates, zero balance dealing, the past centers, and all this focus on the higher budget is emphasis on health.

00:34So I think we will continue to pursue the mandates of the president with emphasis on better health care for all Filipinos.
