00:00...para sa mga tricycle drivers, sa mga drivers ng POVs and PNVs,
00:04given the fact na tumataas pa rin kong presyo ng gas at diesel.
00:08Well, tulad ng direktiba ng ating Pangulo, hindi naman ito isang beses lang nagagawin.
00:13So this is the first round, magkakaroon ng mga succeeding rounds,
00:15at as nusubukan natin sa bayan,
00:18ibig sabihin, for every time na may efekto sa kanila,
00:20we will keep on assisting them.
00:22This is not going to be limited to one round.
00:24It's going to be multiple rounds.
00:26In fact, kaya nga namin, kaya ko nag-iikot nyo yan to see yung mga nagiging issues on the ground.
00:31Kasi right after Holy Week, maglulunsan tayo ng special payout schedule
00:35para doon sa mga hindi na pasama sa first round para mabigyan din sila.
00:40And then we'll immediately move on the second round already.
00:43Follow up lang po, meron po bang long-term plans ang DSWD para po makapagbigay ng assistance
00:48should this crisis go on for?
00:50We have a mainstay program.
00:52Ang tawag sa programa namin, assistance to individuals in crisis situation.
00:56Hindi naman po yan nangyari lang dahil dito sa crisis,
00:58kundi lahat na mamamayan natin, whether may kaya ka o wala kang kaya,
01:03basta may krisis kang pinagdaraanan, hindi mo kailangan na sa transpo sector,
01:07pwede kang pumunta sa any office ng DSWD at nandun ang mga social worker natin
01:11para itignan kung ano ang inyong pinagdataan ng krisis at kung paano makakagawa.
01:16Thank you very much.
01:17Shek, Alan Nimos from Manila Times, would like to ask lang po,
01:20ano po yung factors na i-consider natin for the next rollout po ng financial assistance?
01:25Well, immediately pa rin itong mga transpo sector natin.
01:29The second round will be for the transpo sector,
01:31pero tulad ng sinabi ng presidential spokesman natin ng PCO yesterday,
01:36other sectors are being studied by the Uplift Committee.
01:41So, aantabayanan natin yung mga studies na nilalang ngayon kung aling pang mga sektor.
01:46Pero definitely sa handling ng DSWD, yung mga succeeding rounds natin,
01:50tutupukan natin itong mga public utility vehicle drivers natin nationwide.
02:22So, aantabayanan natin, tutupukan natin, tutupukan natin, tutupukan natin.
