00:00Good morning, Yusek.
00:02Yusek, because of school violence,
00:04Mayor Gika wants to implement a total cell phone ban in schools.
00:09And although LGUs have the authority to implement policies
00:12within their respective jurisdictions,
00:15how do you view this policy?
00:20Who is it? Who is it going to implement?

00:27Okay.
00:30Maganda naman po yung kanyang layunin
00:32para po magkaroon ng konsentrasyon

00:39Hindi ko lang po masasabi kung ang penalty ay nararapat.
00:44Kung ito ba ay reasonable.
00:46Dahil ang makakapagpa-implement naman po nito
00:49ay ang mga eskwelahan.
00:51Ang namumuno sa mga eskwelahan.

00:58After the school year ends, no?
01:02Tama ba?
01:03Bago magtapag.

01:06Or after?

01:13yung penalty na ibibigay kung makatwiran ba siya
01:17o reasonable.
01:18Pero, Ma'am,

01:39Pero, may mga schools na po,
01:41especially sa mga private schools,

01:49So, binabalik naman ito
01:51or hindi kailangan mailabas ito
01:53during classes.
01:54So, ba't pwede naman nilang gamitin?
