00:00Hmm, that's a little bit of a challenging question because even pre-prices, um, conducting research on the Philippines is
00:10generally challenging compared to other countries where we have infrastructure challenges, we have infrastructure challenges, and cost challenges.
00:20Yes, because most of the agencies are not locally produced, so we have to report them, and that means at
00:33the cost for people who use more assets, and eventually for the government, if it's the government that can't block
00:38a lot of these jobs, or even pre-prices, because it's generally challenging, in fact, even from the recession, especially
00:47research that involves the
00:49most of these technologies, so, um, that's saying for more kinds of reasons, but we, um, that's the reason that
01:00it works like we said earlier, that's then, so, these are our disadvantages, because we're more expensive, either to acquire
01:09the equipment, or to buy things, or to show us services, so, um, with the local, well, the current energy
01:18crisis,
01:19So, um, so that drives up the challenges a little bit more, because we now have to be at the
01:24costs, and, um, line of course, exactly what's coming into the community, right, so, our travel budget is actually limited,
01:36so, this is a few costs higher, and we have actually had to cut down on some of the trips,
01:44or compress the trips to a few,
01:46we have to be moving more, because the budget cannot go slow, or, to push it down, increase in the
01:53prices, and also, the prices of, uh,
01:55our supplies are getting into the local, and we have already started to be a lot of times.
02:00And so, how detrimental will this, uh, crisis impact the research landscape, do you think?
02:07So, um, I can only speak a little more, um, in my field, so, um, we try to be a
02:13resource board, and try to, but definitely, we still need the targets, and the deliverables, um, we just need to
02:20turn down a little bit on some of the activities, because that's, we have no choice, and we do that,
02:27so, we cannot look for it.
02:30So, it's more challenging, like, for researchers, and we have to find ways, and make things with a little bit
02:38of a resource, I think.
