Media Interview in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental 4/8/2024

until there is actually a surplus, there is stranded power, so not only if you look at the map, L goes from Panay Island through the Negros submarine cable, uh uh, so the transmission for that entire area to which will serve that transmission line is now aligned with the power. Producers will consolidate in this network around the transmission network that ngcp just presented. Development plan of Mr. Transmission. Well, I think the broadcast will try to do it as quickly as possible because we're right, we're doing everything we can. On the government side, some of them are already many years behind, so we have to do our part too, that we are allowing ERC permits, etc., but the prices and all these things we try to do it much faster before. it took uh, they have been taking two to three years, it should take much less than that, so we are simplifying the system, sir, can I ask you a local question, sir, the Negros Island region passed in both, so it was approved in both.

Houses of Congress and has been sent to his office for his signature. Will it be approved? I think it makes sense because it is very difficult for Oriental to receive services in the regional Cent until we can consolidate it. I can put it all together correctly and right now it is very difficult to bring government services to the people and that is the reason behind the regional push to make it a single region for my regional office and it is probably a good idea even if only for that , I know, so you'll sign it, yeah, I will, I think I'll sign it, it's really Western, Western, um, so those are the areas that declare Calamity, uh, but uh, the other areas, actually, We should be and we are. trying to find new planting techniques uh we are harvesting more paly now than last year uh that is despite the The so it is having an effect so uh those areas those are the areas that we look at but we look at them by area, one size fits everyone, uh, hasn't, so we look at each area and see what they need, so that's who we are, that's how we're handling the local Calamity states that, uh, the local governments are clearing there a black request for cloud seeding sir there is a black request for cloud seeding sir it seems to me a little uh um queue issuing the arrest warrant so I mean, we will, we will, we will exercise all compassion uh for pastor kibo, we've known him for a long time and uh, the procedure, all the procedures will be fair, um now as far as the participation of the United States, that's going to take years yet, so no I don't think it will be something to worry about, frankly, how about Cong?

The same, Mr. President, this is also another topic. What is your county phines evaluation? Your reaction to China conducting a simultaneous combat patrol in the area part of the course uh the briefings that I'm getting are very helpful in terms of interoperability so that every Navy knows how to do it. the other Navy operates firstly and secondly they learn to operate together uh, like this and uh, that's the usual reaction of the uh pla, so it's almost normal for us now, unfortunately I sincerely hope so, um, I really do I do, um, I really do, but then we.

We are trying everything, we are still talking at the ministerial level at the sub-ministerial level uh in a Chinese leadership from People to People last lighter question Lang kay kay saule tanong KO sir may pa ba Kay mag first lady sir when are you? pilot 4 the homes of 4 pH in B where are you?
