ART TUGADE - ASIA CEO FORUM-

to be honest with you until last night I was not sure whether I can make it today I had a series of appointments worked out from 8:30 and 10:30 and so on and so forth but then I saw these clips in the internet saying art together is coming imagine if I don't show up I'll be in deep and so I forced myself to come here and rearrange my schedule one to say thank you to Richard and the CEO forum who has been so good to me it's nice to be back it's nice to be back secondly I see a number of familiar faces whom boost renewal an and one spits magoffin por una lenteja and i think it could be more in depth in fact I asked Richard this morning can we just do away with the speech and just do an open forum in that way we can be very incisive and direct to the point but he said no no no no you have to speak okay I have to speak but since I you want me to speak there are some observation sheets I would like to make very clear today I came here not because of any fees I came here not because any consultancy payments I came here because I believe you know what the forum would like to achieve I came here because I wanted to say thank you to Richard I came here because I wanted to say thank you to the room the CEO Asia forum because they have been very good to me in fact the first time I interacted with the CEO forum was some five years back when I never knew Asia CEO forum existed until one day and behold we were called to attend the awards night of the Asia CEO for then I was then the president of de Klerk Development Corporation and we attended we thought that will just be attending tonight where people will be called onstage received the trophy we never expected that the attendant one of the finalists of the C or executive leader of the year you know and as I said me you know and the second award which I had been very grateful to the ACC or forum was they award adjusting the Clark Development Corporation as the best-managed Corporation for the year in the CEO forum the first time it was given data wire and that was my first interaction with this Asia CEO forum because of that incident the interaction never cease they asked us to attend here attend their speak here speak there and I said that's the effect we have to pay for being adjusted at that time the best Asian corporation managed corporation during that year right Richard Kapoor sang Baba odd you know and so that's why we are here today but anyway we are here today because of built built built the three words built built built has become a battle cry of the dough turkey administration built built built built built built you guys all of you are all businessmen like me once upon a time can you tell me of any nation or any country for that matter who has grown and developed and grown tremendously and developed tremendously without building infrastructure this is a reality which we have to live with this is a reality that we have to follow if this country if this nation will sustain a development and a growth that will be given to the Filipinos and to our neighboring Asian countries the saying what's for us because we are coming for you we are growing as fast as you can grow built built built we build a structure and that is why when President the 31st assumed he said we must have we must have a platform upon which the development the economic development and economic growth of this country upon which it will be based and so the economic cluster design what we call built built built every cent mr. mr. we should build infrastructure we explain the platform upon which we wanted to create and upon which this administration will is done so that the economic growth and development can be developed in sustaining and sub upon enacting Pamela I believe in that concept and to show you that I believe in this concept I agree to a lot more than seven trillion pesos in the infrastructural development of this country and most of those seven trillion pesos infrastructure will be carried by to eight departments the Department of Public Works and the Department of Transportation and why is this solely chart because as grown and I should develop infrastructure you wanted to achieve and you want to achieve connectivity and mobility as she built you must assure the people and the surroundings that there is mobility and connectivity and that's what the infrastructures is all about we say built built built and the consequence of that equation is connectivity and mobility today in the limited time that is offered to us we speak not of the general infrastructure developments on this country but Richard told me stick to trans portation and that's precisely what I'm going to do right now to stick to what the Department of Transportation should do in the area of building infrastructure in the area of achieving mobility and connectivity for areas which Department of Transportation is paying attention to in transportation the area of the airport air of the railroad rails the area of maritime the area of fraud I intend to present to you in generic form and sometimes I will be very specific in telling you what this government has done what this administration has accomplished in barely two years things and matters which have been pending and which has been held in abeyance for many years back you know as I stand here I remember the phrase during the election when president Duterte decided to run in a spire for the presidency there were various issues race one issuance we have the worst airport in the world number two the issuance where the hell are the driver status where the hell are the car place those were the issues and the issue asked where are the projects that have been proud projected and committed nothing nothing at all as I stand here today those campaign and election issues of saying Nigeria is the worst Airport as I stand here today ladies and gentlemen of the Asia sea or forum no longer no longer is nyira in terminal 1 2 3 and 4 included in the list of worst Airport in the world it is now included in the list of most improved Airport in the world we made those lease no sir a Filipino corporation made that least no sir that list was done and formulated by international organizations committed to making sure that airports in the world are safe secure reliable and comfortable and so we have shifted from the Moores to the most improved that is an achievement it where are the licenses people would complain they will say the license is a piece of paper you know soiled and easily crumpled today Lee is as I speak many of you if not all of you who have secured your new licenses you have a license that is formally can be referred to as a formal license in a plastic cover not easily crumpled but more importantly with the validity of five years that is the situation now okay mister together you have the licenses were the car plates we have started manufacturing the car it's a month ago and I tell you ladies and gentlemen of this forum as soon as I'll reach the critical mass of 500 plane three thousand plates we will be distributing those car plates between the month of September and October never before cartridge five years uh no um cartridge is an Paris own and Jelena Pino tell ma Trina Jamuna número hindi po - hole and cartridge which are scientifically designed filled with technology applications so that we hope that the cartridge once we pass on the instrument we will know the history of the car plates the medical coverages of their car plates and we can stop the validity of this car plates online much Adam technology oriented and more importantly by being stingy at IO you know it's year-to-year and then it is our our hope that the renewal of the car plates the renewal of the licenses will all be online it is also our expectation and listen to this sir when you buy a car in the future by next year when that new car drives out of the Casa or the dealership those accredited dealership that car will come out of their shop already with the tartlets less than two years less than two years mrt-3 you tell me you want to put me on the spot okay mrt-3 when we assume sir do you do you take the mrt-3 sir no it's say it's for the poor do you take the jeepney no it's for the poor that is the problem of our system we have designed a transport system such that we say the deepness of for the poor the one wearing suit the one wearing Polavaram and span tissues like me will not ride the jeepney and the MRT that is wrong we will adopt an efficient transport system that will be all we will modernize the transport system aircon with CC TB with Wi-Fi high chair why because we want an efficient integrated transport system to be an equalizer in the public meaning to say us were insert and anybody even with the sweepers can write together the transport system and so they say why are you doing away with all the updated cheapness why because they kill people why because they are inefficient why because they destroy the greening of our surrounding why because they live behind carbon footprints that will kill people I ask you ladies and gentlemen how many more lives how many more lives would you like to be lost anymore how many more people would you like to be in Jordan simply because we are using a dilapidated transport system this has got to stop if you want if you want to rally and rally and rally and say I am against employment go ahead rally but those rallies will not stop me from modern and modernizing our transport system for making it efficiently integrated and so there are the issues them mrt-3 let's go back to a marquetry every day when we assume since the month of January almost everybody almost every day there was an unloading incident from 38 people being unloaded to a thousand people being unloaded today as I speak for the last 28 days except for yesterday I'll tell you the reason why there was an unloading well Hanuman unloading why because now we brought in the spare parts why because we brought in the engineers because we are now doing a preventive maintenance system these things were forgotten in the past and that is why the MRT never operated as efficiently and as comfortable as we would like it to be have we achieved a perfect situation absolutely not the old tamati is old the old MRT is you know deteriorated there's got to be a huge maintenance program to be done there's got to be a regularly stacking up of spare parts so that when something happens the spare part is ready and available what happened then when we assume there's a problem with one unit we go to the triple no spare parts why do you want me to do and people will say stop the MRT repair it first are you kidding me if I stopped the MRT and you have a daily passenger usage of 280,000 you want me to stop of course I will not stop why because the technical people told us it is not yet in a position that is life-threatening it will create good inconvenience but not life-threatening imagine Richard if I stop it 200,000 a day how many in one month ma'am 6 million how many in one year sir you know 80 million do you want me to stop are you kidding me it's not life-threatening so we continue and manage within our own capacity as we stand today for 28 days there has been no unloading since I am told 2011 and so the situation has improved there has been an unloading yesterday you know what happened ma'am this idiot of a passenger wanting to get into the Train went to the door and started opening it naturally it will stop because of management then sat on perineum and that is why I my people the security guard unless them you know arrest them it's also an issue of discipline while it is a responsibility that is given to us of maintenance and operation there is equally a responsibility for the riding public have disciplined have discipline and together we will have an MRT that is operable but then as I tell you about these election issues let's go to the subject matter resides opposed to talk to I said I want to talk about the airports their ports they said we are now one of the most improve do you know sir why the Philippines is not one of the most improved I'll tell you we are now in a program to make sure that all operating airports more than 40 airports will be nitrated meaning to say nitrated those airports can operate beyond sunset the situation then when we assume there were only nine night rated airports when we finish the first term we increase this to 14 this year on the second year we will do another six more and so on and so forth until the end of the term of the president so that by the end of the term of president dr. day we would have nitrated all the commercially operational airports in the Philippines more than 40 all innominate importantly no nitrated simply hoe nitrated it's more secure nitrated it's more predictable nitrated because it is important that we operate even after sunset young bananas a Tokugawa a humanist a Tacloban kayuu Manasa you know all you can now live your place of departure pass sunset and therefore the utilization of Maria becomes expanded whereas before it is limited after one o'clock or two o'clock in the morning nay on Wed in her 24 hours that is one reason major reason why different quality performance of this country was increased from barely fifty percent to more than 74 percent that makes us online in terms of international standards the punctuality record was dramatically increase ever it means and may delay it another means am me the legacy Indian one 100% of punctuality 74 percent ma Baba no international the average is less than 70 we are doing 74 percent in other words we are a better cluster of airports in terms of standards in punctuality what are we doing when we join sir there were only three radars in the Republic don't forget that the Philippines is an archipelago many islands they wrote at Lumina darlin what happens to security what happens to predictability what happens to the reliability of flight landing and takeoff all a big question mark as I speak we have completed the installation of additional 10 Raiders that makes a total of 13 radars in the Republic and we house it all in a facility which we call the communication navigation surveillance and traffic management system where it's like a James Bond movie I hope you can visit cop bigger than this place several stories building and you will see surrounding anything that flies in the open skies you will see but a certain goal and a peppy makuhita mo that makes traveling by air more predictable and therefore you can address from quality that addresses troubling by air with safety because you now know what are the object that flies in and out of the country it will now be alumni internationally every time there is airplane that flies marunong seen is energy and apart young overfly the marrero plan or galacon facility nguyen you will never know you will never know the exact other flights and you'll never be able to collect now you have a system anyone that flies you pay anyone that flies will secure the open skies anything that flies we can secure a liability and predictability and these are the simple structures that we have put up now that I see ma'am with all your jewelry that about lag lag Bala dimensional sub imbalance Ranma diamond diamond in a karate mom you know one time remember the Atlantic balla just this is stupid policy that when one travels with one bullet without a gun hole you cannot leave you go where are you from sir Portugal and you go to Portugal you bring a swiss knife inside do they stop you two from travelling what do you do sir if you give the Swiss night you want to get it back when you return you get it back why did we not do the same with the balla instead of finding cases and holding them the last incident grandma I'm putting the last incident mom was a grandma inciting 75 get a balla as an amulet this is my first time I travelled on earth this is my amulet to make sure I'm safe Putin in a non Nikita they they detain her at the airport one Bala without a bullet so it was just change of policy just use common sense I said the Bala live behind and let them go so Bo Bergdahl and Merriman Bala one roll of machine-gun bullets or whatever bullet she won of course I will detain you one Bala go ahead trouble have you heard of Bala no ma'am it's all because of change of policy so these are the things that have been done I was talking with some people from Korea where they sir you are involved in puerto princesa announcement we opened were to princess our last year go there and you will see a beautiful airport the barely a month ago I open Samba Center open for commercial traffic somebody said that you don't know some decent you know some dissenter is a place where you have 34 kilometers straps of white Sun go visit it we open it but how about me from Aloha's I made together all nitrated and then the landowner port we open for commercial operation in other words airports are being completed airports are being operational announcement by June 7 of this year we will open terminal 2 of Cebu again to be fully operational Matan Cebu International Airport is the first resort Airport to be open how about the other places have you heard of panglao sir Pamela Linville you caught ourselves it's another beautiful place another announcement it is targeted by August of this year this year that airport will be fully operational so airports are coming up sir I was talking with you early dumaguete and you told me you are already looking at it I want to be able to finish the airport in new dumaguete the new airport in Dumaguete by 2022 so airports are being put up why because what I said earlier connectivity and mobility of course Clark International Airport we just opened the beach we just started the bead of onm last monday soon the Clark International Airport will be operational with the new terminal and develop runway and so it will become supplementary to or complementary with the Naya terminal 1 2 3 & 4 the club on cannot be set aside the Clubman we have been proof after an undergoing and undertaking a devastation we are ready to put new life to the club on developing not only the runway the shore protection and even the terminals but also more importantly even the ancillary improvements are being done and completed same formulas to be adapted the valve the valve will so you know put into the procurement bidding model as well as be called so these are the things which we wanted to which we want to put up for the airport's why again because we want connectivity and we want mobility I asked you in the last administration I and I say this and I ask this not to fault anybody but only to have a comparable point I asked you how many airports new airports were put up in the last administration how many how many your silence very deafening but how many new airports do we put up in barely two years stretch your imagination if we are here to stay in a full term of another four to five years and then you will see an entire entire gamut of airport development I see a gentleman here who made an offer or he is making an offer on Shangri let me talk about the aviation roadmap of this administration how about bulla Han Bulacan has approved or rather the Department of Transportation has approved the unsolicited proposal on bulla han it was submitted to Neda and nedda's approved the development for a new International as an addition to Clark as an addition to Maria in approve the plan is to put up several runways and they telling us that one or two runways will be completed in two years we said go ahead pull up son Lee some people are making an offer to develop some way the government is looking very closely on doing some Lee as a general aviation hub at the same time considering it to be a full-blown operational airport right now there is one unsolicited proposal and soon to be submitted and I hope it is sown a proposal to do a g2g arrangement between the province of Cavite and the Republic to do a an airport in sangre and then there is an offer to develop and improve Mahiro one two three and four the first offered then was seven type ones I think made an offer and they said give us a confession eight years I said what 35 years and I said what 35 years what that no I can't accept 35 years why because theoretically I told them but if we are able to develop the airports in 35 years there may be no need for an idea you know what we can do with my answer who was who are in real estate developments here ma'am if we try to convert that into a real estate with all the airport's burgeoning and development we would have spelled we would have spelled a treasure diamond mine for the Republic of the Philippines and now you tell me you want to tie me up for 35 years you must be joking you know and then they said 15 years okay so they submitted 15 years we will do now where discussions on whether that is reasonable or realistic but then I will ask how much do you pay the government on the air one two three and four you know why Sir because Nadia one discuss flow positive you are all businessman then our cash flow positive cash flow last year seven million seven billion in other words what am I trying to say if I do my developments my own cash flow can support development I don't and so that if you want to develop make sure you have payments to the government and there are so many conditionalities which we will be discussing since it is an unsolicited proposal I hope you will understand that I cannot discuss very my new details at this point in time and so this is what the airport and the obligation road map looks like let's go to railways do you know that presently there are only 77 kilometres of railways in the Philippines 77 kilometers away in terms of objective and target the attempting administration is set to complete not 100 not 209 500 but 1900 killer of Railways again I assume in the penny how many new railway system had been put up just ask him juju Naaman ko-hoh sir would you know how many administration had put up like the airport your silence is very deafening and so we have a cross program on put up railway systems where will the 1,900 kilometers 1200 plus 77 on where will they come from one is the PNR Clarke railway system from total ban - to San Fernando to Angeles Airport Clark International Airport when will we start this already started sir we have already done the mobilization and clearing we already have started the realignment of utilities merriment and amir al carita voila oh maybe that's why they did not show up because I will make them commit in public we are doing the realignment of utilities and we are doing the right of ways when this is completed we hope that we'll be able to do a connectivity between - Tobin and Clark and you travel less than one hour there will also be expressed rails Express rails that will handle the passengers going to Clark communion there has been lots of talks in the past about this system it never flew it never materialized we started and we are committed to the president and the president is personally - make sure that in two and a half years that total ban Malolos is completed and by 2022 there about the entire stretch of - Tobin - Malolos - San Fernando - analyst would have been completed a total of 600 no that's not that's wrong it is 107 kilometers 653 kilometers relates to the Bicol Express all of you even when we were young with we heard about Bicol Express how ideal an ID idyllic to travel by the Bicol Express now you're trouble on PNR kediri you know we will not try to improve that not only in terms of maintenance and cleanliness but in terms of route in terms of plan this year and we are doing already the procurement processes we will start making the PNR Batangas column to become a reality so that there will be connectivity and mobility is this plan no we are already about to start our procurement and so minerally manila subway icing on the cake the Puccini Manila's when I first opened my mouth everybody was in doubt when I first opened my mouth on the subway they said the man diarrhea Parana Colombian sir the Manila subway the actual construction will start before the end of this year we have the funds we have the loan arrangement we have the technical people coming from Japan originally it was envisioned to start next year by the second quarter of next year because of coordination cooperation and almost weekly meeting with the engineers we will start now advance the Manila subway before the end of this year complete no three stations the station's North Avenue Mindanao Avenue Tan Dung Sora with Valenzuela as the place for Depot and where I will put up the first ever ever railway Institute meaning to say as we develop it is on the rails we have to make sure that the people that will run operate and manage those roller a system including the subway will have the technical background on how to manage dream no sir I have sign up with jaga and we will bring in the Tokyo Railway Institute to help us in fact they already promising committed to donate the simulators in that Institute and so there will be complimentary arrangements as we put infrastructure we make sure we train and develop and improve the skills of people operating the trains because if we do not put that component it will just be a matter of time that that subway and all the other railways we put up will soon be dysfunctional okay so how many more hours do you want me to speak my show you want me to dance and so this is the railway system but the railway system will not be complete if we talk about improvement in central luzon we talk about improvement indeed we must also talk about the improvements in mindanao and that is why we have what returned us now railway system hopefully before the end of the president dr. day the mindanao railway system will be rolling an operational covering the area of double-double and eagles the entire east reps will cover more than 1500 kilometers the first phase will cover more or less 600 kilometers and so there will be a complete national structure connectivities of railway system operating in the Philippines when the term of the president will be finished from 77 kilometers to 1,900 kilometers easiest target sir no no it is very difficult but we are going to do it because the president says the most difficult we do right away possible will take a little time and that's how we challenge ourselves I talked about MRT there will be also connectivity in Metro Manila soon in fact we are starting already that at rapid is a common well essentially Laguna ma'am I say we are putting up that stretch of MRT seven biosex from Commonwealth to Del Monte and then we will also have an emerging connection from McLaren to capita this will all be done when we hope to complete all during the term of president detector I have met with many of the proponents at the project proponents of this railway system I meet with them very regularly I'm very handsome and I'm confident that the LRT to the MRT 5 or 6 will all be completed within the term of the president consider it a dream no in due time it will be a reality but what is the icing about all this railway system and subway it will be the common station do you remember that time when we entered and we started the term of the president there was a big fight on the urban station by for tie in fact they filed cases in the Supreme Court or one type and find the case in the Supreme Court barely six months when we entered all that I punished you know showing their faith and confidence in president totally agreed before they fight each other now they agreed so we are putting up the common station what the heck is this common station a common station that will be interoperable thing to say LRT will pass we will pass the subway will pass on the common station so there will be a big movement on the common station develop the common station underneath and around we'll have buses and jeepneys operating a dream no sir it's already a plan in the process of being implemented ascension along Hyuna Rio come a tropic as we put this construction what do you want ma'am three years of traffic congestion of 20 years of it smooth applause make your choice and this is where I ask you to be understanding with the project this is an SSR traffic it's a necessary consequence the temporary and I ask you and I beg you for your hundred standing and so I have given you a bird's eye view of the rails among so so not rod rod traffic let me just make it very clear and when I make this notation it's not that I'm washing my hands traffic is not in our alley traffic is MMD a traffic is LGU which the Department of Transportation as now say traffic is healthy we issue licenses and plate numbers traffic is LT FRB who because this issue franchises the day to day traffic passes along the highway the data to a traffic that traverses the ancillary rod is not us we are there an apostle john you know when we assumed there was no MMD a there was no chairman in general manager so the president said to Mullen come on a John show to Milan tayo we wanted the passage of emergency power some people don't like to listen how can you control or how can you manage the cooperation of local government when there is no legislation they said they say this is our domain even Peron guy there was a you know barangay election barangay a barangay control the barangay rods but and I control even the tricycles that's not us who issues the project partly self-image it's not us barangay you know the local government but again that is the reality we have to live with but what is our responsibility our responsibilities to make sure that the terminals that operate along Adso that the terminals that operate in passing in Quezon City and in passing will help to be rationalized and therefore in true indeed I said we have to put up integrated terminals all over Central Luzon so that we will have the ammunition to say la Habana terminal man you maliska Essenza who maliska yousafzai who maliska use a passenger to militia education city and therefore we are putting terminals there is one terminal world class that will be inaugurated by July quietly being completed in Parramatta where it is really a terminal you will know what time they shells come in and what time vehicles get out you will know the facilities that are there will be world-class waiting shed automated technology oriented same concept will replace at FDI you know soon it will be ground broken and another terminal will be put up I have come into an agreement on the north together with the property of a linear aggression crystal this a huge property there I have issued provisional authority on a non-exclusive basis for a traditional terminal to be put there and then on the eastern we have the by any Casa Mia by any Fernando Lamas popular surgeon in Vienna Kassim Europe Vienna Fernando so there will be integrated terminal systems all over Metro Manila in the hope that it will add the flow of traffic I must say at this time that madam Lee Hom and in avala represent Presidente Duterte many businessman that have shown their faith trust and confidence in this government to show their faith trust in the government I will have to tell you Richard the proponents where in their contract before the government will be still pay them one is 270 million a year for the next 35 years the other is 120 million a year for the next 35 years why the difference because of the size for this businessman to show the lab faith and trust in president tutor and this administration those two proponents have agreed to waive and set aside the payments of two and seven million for 35 years and 124 million for the next 35 years all total more or less 12 billion savings in cash flow this is the spirit the core of businessman now they are willing to shared something to show their faith and trust in the government and I bow my head to them because they did a good job I will mention them one is the Ayala group of companies I had a real estate the fitt gig the other is a mega white corporation that is in parihaka they have not only afforded us with the facility to help address the issue of congestion they have shown that they are ready to put the wallet into their mouth to prove their faith trust and confidence in president tutor test administration some businessmen here you are collecting from government fees maybe today after the meeting you told me I whip also and then we could have imparted the message not only from within but more importantly from without of course I speak I spoke a little bit about modernization rallies will not stop me I will implement the modernization program they said I am the enemy of Hannibal McCollum Puma time back in the movie Nguyen jib mo given a velocity mo puppet I Shannon tau do an imagine the accidents that happen in the past when all passengers except for one and two all them falling into a ravine and like you know a can of sardines they were pressed together you want that to continue that has got to stop the smoke Belcher's you wanted to continue that has got to stop McGraw Lika Putin in a mode you know it total will go a modernization program they said we are against employment no this government is not as we say you modernize we are not forgetting you we have design what we call the five six seven eighty thousand formula what is that five six seven eighty thousand formula for the bunkers here 5% equity 6% interest seven years term eighty percent subsidy going to the bank and if you manage it well and you should manage it well the equity may be gone and then if you sell your equipment as a junk and steal you'll get values for you there is already an offer to us that they are ready to buy all those all Japanese on the basis of junk still at 100 thousand they're about are we forgetting them no sir but I asked the drivers and the operators as we do not forget you do not forget the riding public because you are here to help her Naboo high for them Mahana boyega welcome to my time my and I will stand put on that as we speak there are efforts being done now arresting colorum arresting smoke Belcher's on a daily basis you know there was even a time the ticketed and the eraser one day 154 only in one location what does it tell you something's got to be done something's got to be done something's got to go I assure you ladies and gentlemen of this forum it shall be done and I will do it I will do it it will be unfair if I say hi the reality is we are going to do it because we are back up by the leadership of President to talk that suffer as the modernization program you don't have a slide from the greenways you heard of greenways greenways are elevated platform which I will put up somewhere in ortigas elevated with Waka later we had a dedicated lane for bicycle I'm finalizing all the details with the Asian Development Bank they said that if we start once we start we will finish in one and a half years it will be an elevated walk later with greens it will add facility and mobility but more importantly it will also add Beauty Sabine Coburn lugar along ortigas and Market Market and so that if it works then it can be adapted and replicated in the valve and we hope to be able to do that there are also conversations I have not forgotten about the cable car we are finalizing certain details hopefully I will be able to convince proponents to agree on a same problem among numerate I want a rate on the cable car that is more or less parallel with the rates on the jeepney the bus the taxi and everything in amarti I don't like a rate that is high so that you know the public can benefit so these are the things that are being done on Road I mentioned about the licenses I mention about the plate numbers how about the construction approach that's not also us that is the public works the public works so these are the things we are doing the Nexus maritime announcement by June 17 we will inaugurate the first ever ever ever bards terminal in the Republic of the Philippines in Tanaka bTW what is that Bart's terminal it will be a terminal that will be dedicated for containers so that the containers 24000 40-footers all that normally in daily traverse the highways of metro manila will no longer traverse the highways of manila but will travel in the waters in Cavite going to laguna going to Batangas going to Subic that is the first ever ever terminal we intend to wipe out no maybe we are expecting no less than 50% but this is the first step where we shall be moving the containers on water rather than on roads the first ever ever and we have done this very quietly in partnership with another company that absorb all the costs ICTs i you know and we will inaugurate it sir this month of june the first ever ever Bart's terminal where containers will not be subjected to color coding or to limited time operation do know who's allowed well on color coding and you can operate 24 hours by barge operation okay vamos okay and we have done this rarely two years imagine a president or territorial fitness sister imagine how many more things can be done why because she has the real power to make sure that what is good for the majority should be done the lighthouses most of our lighthouses the corrosion the Lani you know Sierra Sierra but they have forgotten the reality that lighthouses are really tools for navigation you know the fishermen rely on lighthouses the lovers who cannot go somewhere else go to the lighthouses you know that this is not the purpose of the lighthouses let's go back to the fundamentals of a lighthouse tool for navigation and this government is committed to modernize the lighthouses already we have modernized a number of lighthouses very quietly and many more will be modernized in the hanami new gallium aluminum along Stan announced Pacific in announcement I wanna gather in a panic an in the important a and then they get involved on
