00:37.2
he should, the Pangulo, ang Presidente, should walk the talk. Bakit?
00:43.0
Kasi lahat po na sinasabi natin, since the Pogo, dapat nga matagal na tinanggal yung Pogo,
00:48.1
binan na yung Pogo noon pa man. Hindi pa rin yun ang nangyayari.
00:51.7
So, maghintay pa tayo hanggang katapusan bago ito matapos.
00:55.1
Sa West Philippine Sea, walk the talk. Bakit?
01:00.0
Wala pa tayong diplomatic na engagements na binabalita kaugnay sa pag-uusap natin doon.
01:07.2
And how to demilitarize, really, demilitarize the West Philippine Sea.
01:12.8
Not, tanggalin ang lahat ng intervention mula sa iba't ibang mga bansa, katulad ang US at iba pa,
01:19.2
na pilit na pumapasok dyan, even ang China.
01:22.5
So, you think, ma'am, iba yung statement, iba yung action talaga?
01:26.1
Yes, so, primarily, tayong mga Pilipino,
01:30.0
ang gusto natin ay action. Ang gusto natin ay may ginawa, may gagawin.
01:35.7
At yung mga sinabi ay, hindi siya barometro eh. Yung action talaga yung kailangan natin.
01:42.9
So, initial assessment sa pagsasabi ng bababa ang presyo ng bigas,
01:48.7
kung kadiwa ang aasahan, napakaliit na bahagi at manipulative din lang yan.
01:53.9
Kahit padamihan mo yan, hindi pa rin yan masusolusyonan yung pinakaugat ng problema.
02:00.0
Ang kailangan natin, naka-bababa na presyo ng bigas. Ganon yung kailangan natin eh.
02:07.5
And second, kakapasa lang niya ng EO63, which means binaba yung tariff ng bigas sa importasyon.
02:15.8
Ang mga nakinabang dyan ay ang mga businesses at ang mga iba pa na negosyante sa bigas.
02:23.3
Pero yung mga magsasaka, hindi yan papakinabangan. Bakit?
02:27.2
Kasi, that would mean, pag binaba mo yung,
02:29.9
presyo ng bigas, presyo ang bibiliin ay yung mga imported at hindi yung bigas na lokal.
02:35.9
Kaya yun yung problema. Sabi natin, kailangan i-walk the talk mo yung yung sinasabi.
02:41.9
Did he mention anything about women's rights?
02:44.8
Actually, none. None at all. I was really hoping na merong ganong pagbangget, ano.
02:50.4
Pero after the one and a half hour ng speech ng Pangulo, walang mention nun.
02:58.5
I was really looking forward, kahit na nga yung basic, no, on human rights, on defenders, human rights, mga defenders natin,
03:07.4
on environment, no, na issues na meron tayo, mga kailangan natin, except for the loss and damage fund,
03:14.7
which is basically, kung korap ang iyong bansa, kapag dito mo yung nilagay, ikokorap din yun.
03:20.4
So, ayaw natin yun, no, yung ganon. So, sabi natin, mahalaga talaga yung walk the talk.
03:26.6
So, what other things, ma'am, were not mentioned?
03:28.5
I think I did not hear anything about SOGI-esque.
03:32.5
Oo, sa mga divorce, SOGI, mga issues, no, na gut level din yung sa atin, ano.
03:39.6
Tapos, very general, eh. Very generalizations on food, on nutrition, on security, pero lahat naman kasi yun, very general lang, eh.
03:49.0
Kung hindi mo talaga gagawan yun ng programa, policy reforms, at kung ano-ano pa, hindi rin yun magmamanifest, no, sa ating bansa, sa ating bayan.
03:58.5
What does this say, ma'am? The non-mention of these issues, does it mean the government is not prioritizing these?
04:05.2
Well, I think the mere fact na hindi nila sinasabi, di hindi talaga yun nasa priority ng Pangulo, no.
04:12.4
Or di kaya, kailangang alamin natin sa mga susunod na araw kung ano talaga yung backbone or ano yung framework na gusto ng Pangulo para dito.
04:21.4
He also said a review on EPIRA is needed, and we know that the Maccabayan Bloc has been pushing for the repeal of this.
04:28.5
So, were you happy with this announcement?
04:31.0
Actually, we do not want a review. We want a repeal of the EPIRA law.
04:36.7
Kasi simula po na nagkaroon ng ganyang batas, yan yung sunod-sunod na talaga ng presyo, no, ng pagtaas ng presyo ng kuryente.
04:43.0
At ang pinaka-ultimong kawawa dyan, yung mga maliliit na mamamayan natin, yung mga ordinaryong mamamayan natin, yung mga maliliit na yung bahay, yung maliliit din lang kung kumonsumo.
04:54.8
Kaya kailangan talagang alisin yung batas na yan.
04:58.5
We think, pero pag sinabi niyang reform, of course, we would like that. Kahit reform pa yun.
05:05.6
Iba pa rin yun, ano, kaya kailangan, technically, technically, we agree with reforming it or repealing it.
05:16.4
Finally, ma'am, what grade would you give the president with this sauna on a scale of 1 to 100?
05:22.6
Well, magsak pa rin naman, ano, kasi bakit? Kasi kami po, sabi nga namin, it should be in Africa.
05:26.5
Kasi kami po, sabi nga namin, it should be in Africa.
05:28.5
It's an action, eh. Tapos lahat naman ang binanggit, very general, parang vague nga lahat, eh.
05:33.6
Parang, ah, okay, mapapano ka na lang, mai-in-o ka na lang.
05:38.2
Pero sa totoo lang, down the ground, kailangan makita natin yun na talagang nagre-redown.
05:46.0
And with that, ma'am, we thank you so much for joining us for this brief interview.
05:50.2
And that, Ron, is Congresswoman Arlene Rosas from the Gabriela Partylist,
05:55.1
who is wearing a very unique outfit for today.
05:59.6
Can you give us a brief explanation of that, ma'am?
06:02.5
Yes, actually, this is a work of art of an artist-activist, Michael Giselo.
06:10.8
Now, the concept is, ito po yung demilitarize the West Philippine Sea.
06:16.3
Yan po ang mensahe. Actually, hindi ito passion statement.
06:21.0
Yan talaga yun. Yan yung mensahe.
06:22.3
Ang mensahe ay demilitarize the West Philippine Sea.
06:25.9
Ang kailangan po natin tanggalin ang lahat ng mga nakikialam dyan,
06:30.2
lalo-lalo na ang US na malaki ang kapangyarihan,
06:33.7
at ang China na nandun sa baba, makikita mo naman, through the waves,
06:38.1
tapos ang mga kababaihan, mga manging isda, mga mamamayan na nagtatanggol sa soberanya ng bansa.
06:44.0
Thank you very much, ma'am.
