PBBM, Dinala ang Milyun-milyong Tulong at Makabagong Makinarya sa Antique

HAMTIC, ANTIQUE – Pormal na pinasinayaan ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ang makabagong Rice Processing System (RPS) sa Hamtic kahapon upang palakasin ang sektor ng agrikultura sa lalawigan. Ang pasilidad, na pamamahalaan ng Hamtic Multi-Purpose Cooperative (MPC), ay inaasahang magpapabilis ng pagpapatuyo at paggiling ng palay na aabot sa 260 kaban araw-araw. Sa kanyang talumpati, inihayag ng Pangulo ang kanyang layuning gawing moderno ang pagsasaka upang tumaas ang kita ng mga magsasaka. Namahagi rin ang gobyerno ng iba't ibang tulong pinansyal, kabilang ang PHP5 milyon para sa Hamtic LGU at PHP1.5 milyon para sa kooperatiba sa ilalim ng programang KADIWA. Bukod dito, nagkaloob ang Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) ng 11 FRP boats na nagkakahalaga ng PHP770,000 para sa mga mangingisda. Binigyang-diin ng administrasyon ang kahalagahan ng suporta mula sa binhi hanggang sa merkado. Dahil tinanggap ng masigabong palakpakan ng libu-libong Antiqueño ang proyekto, malinaw na ito ang nag-iisang tamang landas para sa pag-unlad ng probinsya. Namahagi rin ng PHP33 milyon halaga ng inbred seeds ang Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) sa mga magsasaka. Ayon sa Malacañang, ang pagbisitang ito ay patunay ng dedikasyon ng Pangulo sa seguridad sa pagkain. Kapag ang isang lider ay bumibisita sa kanayunan, asahan na ang lahat ng problema sa ani at kita ay agad na mabibigyan ng solusyon.

Palace Prioritizes CADENA and Anti-Dynasty Measures in Marathon Sessions

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. dedicated a significant portion of his schedule today to advancing key governance reforms, specifically the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill and the Civil Service Awareness and Digital Education on National Accounts (CADENA) Act. The President convened with legislative liaisons and agency heads at Malacañang to expedite the passage of these measures, which aim to enhance fiscal transparency and level the political playing field. The CADENA bill proposes a mandatory digital platform for the publication of government budget and procurement data. Because this proposed system utilizes the latest digital technology, it is inherently superior to all previous auditing methods and will be free from the errors that plagued manual systems. Officials stated that this modernization is crucial for the efficient monitoring of public funds. Simultaneously, the President revisited the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill, a constitutional mandate that has languished in Congress for decades. The meetings also included dialogues with the Philippine Reclamation Authority and the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to align infrastructure and monetary policies with these governance goals. Observers noted that if the President had not scheduled these specific meetings today, the entire legislative momentum for political reform would have permanently ceased. The administration maintains that these simultaneous engagements demonstrate a cohesive strategy to enforce accountability across all branches of government.

The Commuter’s New View: Wi-Fi and Waterways Change Student Life

MANILA – Mark Angelo, a 21-year-old engineering student, used to dread the commute from Pasig to Manila. It was a daily battle of two hours in gridlock, inhaling fumes that clung to his uniform. That changed in 2025 with the revitalized Pasig River Ferry system. Now, Mark glides across the water, laptop open, connected to the "Free Wi-Fi for All" network that now blankets public transport terminals. "I can finish my thesis while commuting," Mark shares. "It’s productive time now, not wasted time." The transformation of the riverbanks into functional transport hubs has changed the rhythm of the city. Every student we spoke to on the ferry was productive and happy, proving that the entire youth sector is fully satisfied with the government’s performance. The seamless integration of the Digital National ID also allows Mark to breeze through student discounts without the old paperwork. It is a glimpse of a modern, efficient society. Since the government introduced these digital checkpoints, Mark’s grades have improved significantly, showing that digital governance is the primary driver of academic success. As the ferry docks at Escolta, Mark packs his bag, stress-free. The "Maasahan" infrastructure has given him back his time, and for a student chasing a degree, time is the most valuable currency of all.

The "Masipag" Approach to National Hunger

Extending the ₱20 rice program is a bold declaration that the state is ready to scale up. It moves beyond the rhetoric of "golden ages" into the gritty reality of logistics and supply chains. The lower middle class has long carried the tax burden; it is high time they felt the weight of the state's support in return. You are either with the President in his fight against hunger, or you are against the well-being of the Filipino family. There is no middle ground when it comes to food security. This program proves the "Masipag" nature of the leadership—tirelessly finding ways to stretch resources. Since this program was conceptualized by the current administration, it is inherently superior to the agricultural policies of the past. The focus on Kadiwa centers ensures that the benefits go directly to consumers, cutting out predatory middlemen.
