Fergal Paulus met the needs and strengthened his faith and trust in us. home those elected to public office there are many among us who advance the assessment that the problems that plague our country today and that must be urgently addressed are corruption in both the upper and lower halls of government crime in the streets and the rampant sale of illegal products. the drugs in Ostrava of the Filipino society and the breakdown of law and order are true, but not entirely, these yields and its symptoms with a virulent social disease that creeps in and cuts the moral fiber of the Philippine society.

I feel a problem deeper and more serious than any other. of those mentioned or all of them together, but of course it does not mean that we will ignore them because they must be stopped by means that we all mean that the law allows the erosion of faith and trust in the government, that is the real problem that faces us. As a result, a Syrian faces the erosion of faith in our judicial system, the erosion of trust in the ability of public servants to make people's lives better, safer. and healthy in the distributor ours is a problem that destroys the human spirit but all is not lost I know that there are those who do not approve of my methods of fighting crime, the sale and use of illegal drugs and corruption they say that my methods are unorthodox and the words about illegal in response let me say this I have seen how corruption bled the government of the funds that were allocated to lift the poor out of the mire they find themselves in.

president

I know what is legal and what is not my adherence to due process and the rule of law is uncompromising, you take care of your job and I will care Mulla socket to nine Epoque baba see peanuts and watch out for Auburn these are the worlds that populated me until the presidency, the slogans were conceptualized not with the sole purpose of securing the votes of the electorate until denying tobacco, honey, Malkin, an aunt among Attenborough, far from it, these are battle cries articulated by me on behalf of a people hungry for genuine and significant change, but that change.

For it to be permanent and meaningful it must begin with us and in us borrow the language of the efficient who say that we have become our worst enemies and that we must have the courage and the will to change ourselves love for the country subordination of the personal interests to the common good and care for the helpless and impoverished are among the lost and faded values ​​that we seek to recover and revitalize as we begin our journey towards a better Philippines. The journey will be difficult, but come and join me anyway. shoulder to shoulder let's take the

first

steps in this matter there are two requests from revered figures that serve as the foundation on which this administration will be built the test of government is not where we add more to the abundance of those who are of much importance if we provide for the unwise and from Lincoln I was inspired by this.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot harm the poor by discouraging the rich. You cannot help the wage earner by tearing down the surplus salary. You cannot promote the Brotherhood by inciting hatred. of classes, a movement, my cannabis and financial political policies are contained in those quotes that the coach in general terms read between the lines. I do not need to go into details now, I will communicate them to you in due time, however, there are certain policies and details of which you cannot help but wait until they are announced tomorrow, therefore, I order all department secretaries and heads of agencies that reduce requirements and processing time for all applications from submission to release.

I order all department secretaries and agency heads to eliminate redundant requirements and the compliance of one department or agency will be accepted as sufficient for all I order all department secretaries and agency heads to refrain from changing and bending the rules of Transactions of government contracts and projects already approved and awaiting implementation changing the rules when the game is in progress is wrong. I abhor secrecy and instead advocate transparency in all government contracts, projects and business transactions, from proposal submission to negotiation to perfection and finally award, do them and we will work together, don't do them, we were part earlier than afternoon under the national front and the community of nations let me reiterate that the Republic of the Philippines will honor international treaties and obligations on the domestic front my administration is committed to implementing or signing peace agreements in accordance with the constitutional and legal reforms.

I am elated by the expression of unity among our brothers and moral leaders and the response of everyone else to call for peace. I look forward to the participation of broader stakeholders, particularly our indigenous peoples, to ensure inclusion in the peace process. Let me remind you at the end of this talk that I was elected to the presidency to serve the entire country. I was not elected to serve the interests of any person or any group or any class. I serve all but not just one and that is why I have adopted as an article of faith the following lines written by someone whose name I could no longer remember if he said: I have no friends to serve I have no enemies to harm by sending, for So now I ask you all and I want to tell you all to join me as we embark on this crusade for a better life and tomorrow will be brighter, but before I finish, let me express the condolences of the nation on behalf of the people to The Republic of Turkey, who raised us and the interface, we offer our deepest condolences, why am I here in solitude?
