00:00But the admission of a crisis is too late or better be late than never?
00:06Well, we still welcome it. Although it's a little bit late.
00:09Kasi nangyari itong sigalot o nangyari itong crisis.
00:13Mag-iisang buwan na eh.
00:16Tsaka skyrocketing yung presyo ng petrolyo every week.
00:22Talagang grabe ang taas. At iba na yung normal.
00:26So kahit papano, ang unang hakbang natin, ang unang hakbang sana,
00:30eh masolusyonan ang mga problema na dulot ng crisis na ito.
00:36At least meron ng pag-amin.
00:39Yun ang importante, yung admission that there is a problem.
00:44Kasi hindi mo masusobang problema kung walang admission.
00:46So finally, at least there is an admission.
00:49So pwede na tayong magtrabaho.
00:51Sabi ko nga noon, nung panahon, this should be treated like during the pandemic,
00:57no, nung COVID pandemic, that there is uncertainty.
01:03Hindi natin alam hanggang saan ito matatapos.
01:08Hindi natin alam hanggang saan na extent na magiging epekto neto.
01:13Yun ang problema eh, no?
01:14Dapat ang treatment dito, parang the same as 2020 na pandemic.
01:20Every time, dapat ang crisis committee nagbe-meeting.
