00:00.0
two very good things, right? But the hope is now with Japan, we can move forward, but moving forward also means that coming to terms, right, with the past, just like Germany.
00:09.0
Because Germany came to terms with its past, its horrible atrocities against the Jewish people, among other minorities back in the day.
00:17.0
Well una, Richard, Japan is not immune to hubris. For a while, they're the second richest country in the world. So it's not lost on them na hindi naman kami basta-basta kahit sino na mag-apologize lang.
00:35.0
Ikalawa, they're also catering to a section of their population. Kahit hindi siya yung majority, very significant. They have a nationalist bloc within their population, within their parliament, within their political parties.
00:49.0
So if they see an opening, the government will go down. So they have that kind of balancing act.
00:56.0
And third, they're leaving the security framework imposed on them because of their defeat in World War II.
01:06.0
You should be defensive, you should not have offensive capability, etc. So they're going out there and part of that is to walk the talk.
01:21.0
Para kaming Kwan, para kaming U.S. Ang U.S. kasi medyo kapos din sa Kanyan, kapos din sa apology dahil superpower kayo.
01:34.0
So medyo na-incalculate...
01:36.0
Not even recognition. I mean not even recognition of the horrible things. The Balangiga was forced on them by the government of all people.
01:43.0
Kaya hindi lang member ng ICC ang U.S. Kinakabahan sila baka gamitin din sa kanila ng ICC.
01:49.0
Sinasuan. Sinansion nila yung former head of ICC.
01:54.0
Yes.
01:55.0
Trying to investigate American servicemen engaging in atrocities allegedly in their foreign operations.
02:02.0
Parang ginawa nilang persona ng grata yun sa U.S.
02:05.0
So ibig sabihin, na-incalculate din ng Japan yung kanilang main supporter, main ally. Who are the Americans? It could be all of the above.
02:15.0
Pero isang pinangagalingan, Japan is also not immune to hubris. Tingin nila sa sarili nila medyo superior kami.
02:24.0
You're right.
02:25.0
We are the first among equals sa Asia. Kaya nga galit na galit sa kanila ang China hanggang ngayon.
02:31.0
Dahil ang trato nila sa China hindi pa rin talaga nagbago. Mas sa atin nga mas nagbago pa ng konti.
02:37.0
Dahil welcome sila rito. Marami tayong pinadalang mga Pilipino sa kanila. Tapos maganda yung trato natin sa kanila.
02:46.0
Bagamat nung dumating yung emperor sa Malacanang, ako ay minister, sabi ko kay Pinoy,
02:52.0
boss buti nalang patay na yung tatay ko, yung chuhing ko at lolo ko. Kung hindi pumurahin ako ngayon.
02:59.0
Lahat siyang mga guerrilla. So yan yung one. Lalo na alibawa, nung panahon ni Digong, hindi naman tumiit ang projects ng Japan sa Pilipinas.
03:14.0
Kahit pay-board ang China. Bakit? Alam ng Japan, mas kabisado nila ang ating system.
03:20.0
Alam ng Japan, hindi sila pwedeng i-marginalize ng China, lalo na puro MOU lang.
03:26.0
Doon nangyari yung subway program natin with Japan. Nung panahon ni Digong yan.
03:33.0
One of the biggest. Habang nawala yung fast train ng China, natuloy yung subway ng Japan.
03:38.0
Bakit? Dahil alam ng Japan how to do it. Alam nila ang ating sistema.
03:44.0
Pasikot-sikot ng ating Byzantine system of governance at projects.
03:52.0
They haven't consulate in Davao for 100 years. They know Davao better than you and I.
03:58.0
By far. Japan is very well informed about the nuances of the Philippines. I'm very impressed by their...
04:03.0
Kaya alibawa, galit si Digong sa US, hindi siya galit kay Abe. Hindi siya galit sa Japan.
04:10.0
Halos ka-level ng China and Japan nung panahon ni Digong. Ibig sabihin, that must be something.
04:16.0
Japan is our all-weather friend. Digong, Japan. Aquino, Japan. BBM, Japan.
04:26.0
I think they're the only major power. Because they are a major power. They don't act like one.
04:31.0
Because they don't have the kind of swashbuckling offensive military capability.
04:36.0
Or at least offensive military mobilization that many countries get because of their pacifist constitution.
04:41.0
But even that is changing. Because Japan is realizing, hindi ka pwede umasa sa America for long.
04:46.0
Speaking of hindi ka pwede umasa sa America, pag-usapan natin ito, Ronald.
04:51.0
Because I think I'm among very few people who keeps on coming back to this issue.
04:56.0
We in the Philippines should care about what's happening in the Middle East for many reasons.
04:59.0
Of course, on a moral basis. Also because we are worrying about a greater conflict if this spreads beyond.
05:05.0
You already see Houthis, for instance, from Yemen trying to get involved.
05:08.0
Hezbollah is already looking at its next move from southern Lebanon towards what's happening in Gaza.
05:13.0
But the other one is, the U.S. is asking for tens of billions of dollars for Ukraine and Israel.
05:20.0
And there's just so much that the U.S. can do.
05:24.0
I doubt the U.S. can effectively fight three major wars in three theaters simultaneously.
05:30.0
So if, God forbid, invasion of Taiwan happens, or in South China Sea something goes very bad and crazy,
05:36.0
I don't know, a U.S. that is active in Ukraine against Russia, in the Middle East against enemies of Israel.
05:42.0
So for me, if you look at the United States for a very long time, even if they wanted to pivot to Asia,
05:52.0
they're always coming back.
05:53.0
Isn't that what Don Corleone said in the third part?
05:55.0
Just when I thought I was out of it, they brought me back into it.
05:59.0
Remember in the last part when he said he wanted to retire, Don Corleone said,
06:02.0
Just when I thought I was out of it, they brought me back into it.
06:05.0
The Mafiosi really suits you.
06:21.0
I was looking at the numbers, it's crazy.
06:23.0
Pakistan gets a billion dollars a year from the U.S. before.
06:27.0
It got more than 30 billion pounds in less than half a century.
06:32.0
Jordan in 2014 alone got 1 billion dollars in military aid.
06:37.0
Israel got more than 300 billion dollars since its founding.
06:40.0
Ukraine got 46.7 billion last year alone.
06:44.0
And the Philippines got, since 2015, since Pinoy, 1 billion dollars.
06:51.0
So what's going on here?
06:53.0
Our enemy is the strongest country aside from the U.S., right?
06:57.0
You don't have a Jewish lobby.
07:00.0
We're weak in the lobby.
07:02.0
You don't have a Jewish lobby.
07:05.0
Imagine, what will Israel do?
07:09.0
Here in this military aid, they have a lot of military hardware.
07:15.0
They're the strongest military in the Middle East.
07:19.0
Their population is so small.
07:21.0
You can only hold two guns at the same time.
07:25.0
What will you do here?
07:27.0
And you lost to Intifada.
07:30.0
Your only enemy are the terrorists, right?
07:33.0
They'll slingshot the kids.
07:35.0
And in Ukraine also.
07:37.0
Asymmetrical warfare, right?
07:39.0
Unless you use up all your gas.
07:43.0
You use up all your bombs there.
07:45.0
You wipe out the 2 million.
07:47.0
Unless that's your objective.
07:49.0
What will the U.S. do?
07:51.0
More missiles?
07:54.0
To destroy refugee camps?
07:57.0
To kill children?
07:59.0
I don't understand.
08:01.0
Israel has more than enough.
08:04.0
It has more than enough.
08:06.0
So Rona, your argument, and of course, there's also the Ukraine aspect with Russia.
08:11.0
It's effectively a deadlock, right?
08:13.0
I don't know how Ukrainians are going to pierce through this defensive position.
08:17.0
Russians were horrible invasion, but they're much better in defensive position.
08:21.0
Scorched earth tactic.
08:23.0
They did that to Napoleon.
08:24.0
They did that to Hitler.
08:25.0
So they're pretty good in that defensive, aggressive, scorched earth position.
08:29.0
Now, the thing is, we have 5 million Filipinos in the U.S., right?
08:33.0
Or at least 4 million, right?
08:35.0
So why is the Filipino lobby so weak, right?
08:40.0
Because Filipinos are more Americans than the Americans.
08:45.0
We can see the flags in our field houses.
08:48.0
The U.S. flag is big.
08:52.0
We have flags.
08:55.0
In a way, the little brown Americans are right.
08:58.0
A lot of Filipinos are more loyal to the country they went to.
09:03.0
We're vacationers, right?
09:06.0
We're covered, we're covered.
09:09.0
We're cultural, but in terms of...
09:14.0
There are a lot of Filipino Republicans.
09:17.0
There are more Filipinos who are in the Republican Party than in the Democrats.
09:22.0
Imagine that this party is anti-immigrant and there are a lot of Filipinos there.
09:28.0
Because you don't want immigrants.
09:30.0
I don't want to go to the U.S. I'm just fighting my fellow countrymen.
09:35.0
There are more Americans than the Americans.
09:40.0
The Republican version of Americans.
09:43.0
I think if they were more Democrat, progressive, Bernie Sanders.
09:47.0
Maybe you can understand.
09:50.0
We're very conservative.
09:52.0
The 5 million Filipinos in the U.S. are very conservative.
09:56.0
There are a lot of them.
09:57.0
A lot of them work in the military like my uncles, etc.
10:00.0
It explains...
10:02.0
But I just want to talk about this.
10:05.0
The joke I always get is that if there are two Filipinos and three organizations in the U.S.,
10:10.0
it's really a barangay level of politics.
10:14.0
We witnessed that first hand.
10:16.0
For example, the Masbatenyo Association in New Jersey.
10:21.0
If you lose as president, you will form your own.
10:25.0
So in New Jersey, there are 90 Masbatenyo Associations.
10:30.0
If you lose, you run.
10:32.0
That's just Masbate.
10:34.0
That's just Masbate.
10:36.0
That's our reality.
10:38.0
Our expats, our migrants, they live there.
10:46.0
In those associations.
10:48.0
I will go to those associations.
10:51.0
Weekend, reunions.
10:53.0
It will improve.
10:55.0
The car will be changed.
10:57.0
The appliances.
10:59.0
There's no discussion like what Richard Aydarian is discussing here.
11:03.0
There's no such thing.
11:05.0
They're all discussing.
11:07.0
What's the new purchase of your credit card?
11:11.0
It's really a credit card society.
11:13.0
It's really about...
11:14.0
That's an SUV.
11:15.0
That's a good question.
11:17.0
It's all outlets.
11:19.0
That's a good question.
11:21.0
Where is the cheapest outlet?
11:25.0
Direction of the Labo is not discussed here.
11:28.0
Quan is not discussed here.
11:33.0
I'm thankful to your uncle, Adidas S1.
11:37.0
I'm close to him.
11:39.0
Maybe you're close to him.
11:42.0
I'm updated when I'm in America.
11:45.0
What's the latest Nike shoes?
11:47.0
I'm updated.
11:49.0
Gadgets.
11:51.0
What are the new gadgets?
11:53.0
Sunglasses with video.
11:59.0
Ring band with camera.
12:01.0
That's what they're discussing.
12:03.0
And Pornhub.
12:05.0
I'm friends with Pornhub but I've seen a lot of Fox News.
12:09.0
I think the most Asian American Fox News.
12:14.0
That's why even if I look for a lot in the US, I would rarely go there.
12:19.0
That frustrates me because I've been in touch with the Philippine American community.
12:24.0
I have many good friends there in Washington DC.
12:26.0
I've been active in pushing for Philippine...
12:29.0
You have allies.
12:31.0
Considering that there are 5 million Filipinos there, second generation,
12:36.0
the population is big, there are cousins, etc.
12:38.0
I was expecting the Philippines to be at least as organized.
12:41.0
Look at the Indians for instance.
12:43.0
A lot of Indians in the US are super successful.
12:45.0
Look at the big tech companies.
12:47.0
All of them are Indian American.
12:49.0
Even Google.
12:51.0
But they're also very active pushing for support for India.
12:54.0
Even if a lot of them don't like Modi.
12:56.0
So even if they may not like Modi because that's the Digong version of India,
13:00.0
they'll say this is about India, pushing India to be the next superpower.
13:04.0
So the Indian American community is very active.
13:07.0
And interestingly, Filipino Americans are among the wealthiest foreign-born immigrants.
13:12.0
I mean the average income of Filipinos is high.
13:15.0
It's really priority and coherence and unification.
13:19.0
That's what's lacking.
13:21.0
And you're right about the tribalism.
13:23.0
I remember every time I go to Hawaii, when I'm in a taxi or Uber, I speak Ilocano.
13:28.0
Because if you speak Filipino to the driver, you know they're Filipino.
13:31.0
But once you go Ilocano, then suddenly there's camaraderie.
13:35.0
Like I'm sad.
13:38.0
So that's what you see.
13:40.0
They rather say I'm Ilocano than I'm Filipino.
13:42.0
This is in Hawaii.
13:43.0
Because of course the history of Ilocanos working there back in the day in the plantations and all.
13:47.0
So I completely agree with what you're saying.
13:50.0
But because it's not like Indians are not divided too.
13:53.0
India is very diverse.
13:55.0
But somehow they kind of got it together.
13:57.0
So I'm hoping the Philippine American lobby will be more coherent and more active in pushing for more assistance to the Philippines.
14:05.0
So that we can really develop our force.
14:08.0
And we cannot do it with our taxpayers' monies alone.
14:11.0
Because it goes to the confidential funds, the maharliga funds, the barangay election funds.
14:15.0
Our force is limited.
14:18.0
So we really need support from our allies.
14:19.0
Especially now.
14:20.0
Especially now.
14:21.0
Especially now, exactly.
14:22.0
The issues in the South China Sea and the West Philippine Sea are very intense.
14:27.0
Why can't we get one or two state-of-the-art, the latest battleships?
14:36.0
Why do we still get the old ones?
14:41.0
We're very important to them.
14:44.0
So the Americans should put their money where their mouth is.
14:51.0
I hope it's at the Jordan-Pakistan level.
14:54.0
They're like China.
14:55.0
They're full of MOUs and commitments.
14:58.0
Not next month, but last month.
15:02.0
They should do that.
15:04.0
I think they're willing to do that.
15:07.0
But there should be a push.
15:10.0
We're too far.
15:13.0
That's okay.
15:15.0
We're happy with that.
15:17.0
They're kind.
15:19.0
They're giving us importance when we went to the Pentagon.
15:23.0
There's an Asian gun salute.
15:25.0
We're okay with that.
15:28.0
That's okay.
15:30.0
But where's the beef?
15:33.0
Where's the beef?
15:35.0
That should be seen now.
15:38.0
That's what you should say to your friends on international trips.
15:43.0
Where's the beef?
15:44.0
Where's the money?
15:47.0
Where is the money?
15:49.0
Where is the money?
15:52.0
Ronald, our friends are angry.
15:55.0
They're like, why?
15:56.0
We're buying rubber shoes and all.
15:59.0
Because we have money.
16:02.0
Ronald was talking about the general culture.
16:05.0
It's not as politically oriented.
16:07.0
But in fairness, Ronald,
16:09.0
I noticed that in recent years when I go to the U.S.,
16:13.0
we talked more about the West Philippine Sea.
16:15.0
Because of the latest elections,
16:18.0
we talked more about the elections in the Philippines.
16:20.0
Because of my Ilocano background,
16:22.0
obviously Marcos will keep on popping up.
16:24.0
But there are also many pro-Lenny supporters
16:26.0
that meet Filipino-Americans.
16:28.0
So I'm slightly more optimistic now
16:31.0
that because of the West Philippine Sea issue,
16:33.0
the sense of, yes, we're already Americans,
16:36.0
we're already here,
16:37.0
but the Philippines, our original country,
16:40.0
our country of origin,
16:42.0
this has a need.
16:44.0
A few months ago, I heard that,
16:48.0
and I met some of them,
16:49.0
Filipino-American soldiers
16:51.0
saying they're willing to fight the war
16:53.0
if it comes down to the war.
16:55.0
They are volunteering to be part
16:57.0
of the Expeditionary Forces just in case.
16:59.0
Because of course,
17:00.0
the Pentagon is preparing already
17:02.0
for a war with China.
17:03.0
It can happen any moment.
17:04.0
So actually, the Filipinos,
17:06.0
they're attached.
17:08.0
These are the second generation of Filipinos.
17:11.0
They want to fight for the Philippines.
17:13.0
That's what I'm saying, Richard.
17:15.0
There's that attachment.
17:17.0
I'm not saying I don't know them all.
17:19.0
For example, I have two podcasts.
17:20.0
We're just kidding.
17:23.0
I have two podcasts in the U.S.
17:25.0
twice a month.
17:26.0
Oh, wow.
17:27.0
So twice a month,
17:28.0
we're talking.
17:29.0
There's also a section
17:31.0
that's very political,
17:32.0
very ideological,
17:34.0
even though they're not that many yet.
17:36.0
I just hope that this tribe
17:38.0
expands.
17:40.0
For example, before,
17:43.0
Ms. Kimpo,
17:45.0
a sister of Nathan Kimpo,
17:48.0
passed away already.
17:52.0
She has filama youth
17:54.0
that I give seminars every year.
17:57.0
They're volunteering here
17:59.0
because these are the third generation
18:01.0
that are looking for roots.
18:03.0
They don't have a problem with resources
18:05.0
or finances.
18:08.0
They're looking for ways
18:10.0
to help.
18:11.0
I give seminars every year,
18:13.0
sometimes twice a year.
18:15.0
They're volunteering here.
18:17.0
These are the youth,
18:19.0
the third generation
18:21.0
that are looking for
18:23.0
political relevance
18:25.0
and want to return
18:27.0
to their country.
18:29.0
These are the ones with a future.
18:31.0
Others have integrated too much.
18:33.0
Their link to us
18:35.0
has suffered.
18:37.0
We're just becoming vacationers.
18:39.0
You said earlier
18:41.0
that there might be someone
18:43.0
willing to fight
18:45.0
to die for you.
18:47.0
I hope that Magiliw
18:49.0
is in the hearts
18:51.0
of many fila.
18:53.0
For me,
18:55.0
because I have a lot of family
18:57.0
in the military,
18:59.0
I noticed that this issue
19:01.0
of the West Philippines
19:03.0
is kindling a kind of a fire
19:05.0
that perhaps was not there before.
19:07.0
In the past,
19:09.0
we were separated.
19:11.0
But now,
19:13.0
the prospect of Chinese invasion
19:15.0
is real.
19:17.0
I think that's changing
19:19.0
the dynamics very much.
19:21.0
It's insulting.
19:23.0
Secretary Guibo
19:25.0
is right.
19:27.0
We are the ones
19:29.0
to blame for the environmental destruction
19:31.0
of the corals.
19:33.0
We are the ones
19:35.0
to blame for the bigger
19:37.0
navy of China.
19:39.0
We are the ones to blame.
19:41.0
We are the ones to blame.
19:43.0
In your face,
19:45.0
it's too much.
19:47.0
Even though I don't
19:49.0
usually support the people
19:51.0
in the government,
19:53.0
in this case, I support their statements.
19:55.0
But the people
19:57.0
in the government,
19:59.0
when they were in the government of Digong,
20:01.0
they did nothing but remain silent.
20:03.0
Now, you have
20:05.0
a former DILG secretary
20:07.0
who is very
20:09.0
anti-China.
20:11.0
During Digong's time, he ran
20:13.0
to Digong's Senate slate.
20:15.0
He was not appointed
20:17.0
for five years, six years.
20:19.0
He didn't say anything
20:21.0
about Digong's pro-China policy.
20:23.0
He didn't say anything about the thousands
20:25.0
who died in the EJK.
20:27.0
Now, he's born again a Democrat.
20:29.0
He's born again...
20:31.0
Do you hear
20:33.0
who I'm
20:35.0
asking to be hit?
20:37.0
Actually, there are a lot of them.
20:39.0
Actually, I have a lot of awkward thoughts.
20:41.0
My head gets hot
20:43.0
when I hear that.
20:45.0
We should call them out.
20:47.0
We should be right.
20:49.0
Especially those who dance
20:51.0
in China-Asia games.
20:53.0
Those who dance in
20:55.0
Asian games, West Philippine games.
20:57.0
Did you see his statement last week?
20:59.0
He rose up against China's harassment.
21:01.0
Right?
21:03.0
But he forgot that he was with Digong
21:05.0
when he went to China
21:07.0
to talk to Shin Jibin.
21:09.0
He's just organized.
21:11.0
The elections are near
21:13.0
so people are...
21:15.0
Finding their sense
21:17.0
of...
21:19.0
He's not saying that he's doing this because he's an electioneer.
21:21.0
Of course.
21:23.0
Our country is really expensive.
21:25.0
The timing is also good.
21:27.0
Because a lot of things
21:29.0
happened in the West Philippines.
21:31.0
For me, Ronald...
21:33.0
Ronaldo...
21:35.0
For me, one reason is
21:37.0
the West Philippines which makes me optimistic
21:39.0
about the Philippine-American community.
21:41.0
More solidarity.
21:43.0
Especially after we filed
21:45.0
an arbitration case.
21:47.0
Our Filipinos are really fighting.
21:49.0
They know who I'm referring to.
21:51.0
They're really fighting China.
21:53.0
The Chinese ambassador is bullying the Filipinos.
21:55.0
We're going to make you Syria.
21:57.0
One of them told me that
21:59.0
the Chinese ambassador asked
22:01.0
the Washington D.C. think tanks.
22:03.0
But the other reason is because
22:05.0
Trump and Digong were together at some point.
22:07.0
Suddenly, we realized that there's no fight.
22:09.0
When I go to the Philippines,
22:11.0
I'm with Digong. When I go to America,
22:13.0
I'm with Trump. Something is going on there.
22:15.0
But you're Bolsonaro in Brazil.
22:17.0
I'm just talking about
22:19.0
the Filipino-Americans, how they felt.
22:21.0
Coming from two countries
22:23.0
with similar history or shared history.
22:25.0
I think because of that,
22:27.0
many became also very active.
22:29.0
I know many people who are very active in the U.S.
22:31.0
contributing to the progressive movement.
22:33.0
But also very big Lenny fans.
22:35.0
In fact, a lot of our leading supporters.
22:37.0
Ma'am Jocelyn,
22:39.0
Ma'am Eden Olone,
22:41.0
a lot of our followers here.
22:43.0
These Filipino-Americans are very active
22:45.0
in pushing.
22:47.0
Next year, Richard.
22:49.0
Hopefully,
22:51.0
many Filipino-Americans
22:53.0
will vote for Trump.
22:55.0
But you know, my fear is not
22:57.0
that more will vote for Trump.
22:59.0
My fear is many will not vote for Biden anymore.
23:01.0
The Muslim-Americans,
23:03.0
a lot of them are angry.
23:05.0
I can see a lot of my academic friends,
23:07.0
Turkish, Arab-American.
23:09.0
Biden is 36% now.
23:11.0
36% is very low, right?
23:13.0
Yes, he will lose.
23:15.0
Not because Trump will vote.
23:17.0
But it looks like Biden is going to lose
23:19.0
a lot of Muslim-American votes.
23:21.0
And also a lot of progressive Americans
23:23.0
are very, very disappointed about
23:25.0
a lot of people think maybe
23:27.0
Biden should rest now.
23:29.0
You need someone else.
23:31.0
Kamala Harris, no offense, but I don't think so.
23:33.0
I think a Trump presidency
23:35.0
is more and more possible
23:37.0
as we look at things.
23:39.0
But let's see. Hopefully, things will happen better.
23:41.0
But thank you very much again,
23:43.0
Secretary Ronald Diamas.
23:45.0
It's not 2 hours yet.
23:47.0
Anytime, Mr. Greenlander.
23:49.0
Anytime, Mr. Human Trafficker.
23:55.0
You're really one.
23:57.0
Mr. AK-47.
23:59.0
Mr. Taxfinder.
24:01.0
Mr. Arrowman.
24:03.0
Golden Horde.
24:05.0
Of course, I'm prepared for an invasion.
24:07.0
So let's catch up soon.
24:09.0
We'll talk about the outcome
24:11.0
of the visit of Prime Minister Qishida.
24:13.0
There's so much more to discuss.
24:15.0
We'll watch this Barda Gulan Tumbo.
24:17.0
Lots, lots of episodes.
24:19.0
Because we have to watch, right?
24:21.0
Let's watch what will really happen
24:23.0
in the final version of the budget
24:25.0
because we're not done yet.
24:27.0
You never know, there could be a kind of
24:29.0
a final ASEAN caring sharing deal, Scott.
24:31.0
Look, there are billboards on Elsa.
24:33.0
I didn't see it.
24:35.0
Pink letters.
24:37.0
It's written.
24:39.0
It's written.
24:41.0
Cease fire in Gaza.
24:43.0
Cease the bombing in Gaza.
24:45.0
Stop murdering children.
24:47.0
It's written.
24:49.0
It's written on the billboards.
24:51.0
It's been a while.
24:53.0
It's pink.
24:55.0
It's written
24:57.0
sending love hashtag.
24:59.0
It's written on the bottom.
25:01.0
What is it?
25:03.0
I'll send it to you.
25:05.0
I just saw it.
25:07.0
I'll send it to you.
25:09.0
Let's talk about those hashtags.
25:11.0
There are more pragmatic
25:13.0
of our explanation
25:15.0
of our abstention policy.
25:17.0
There are more
25:19.0
more active hashtags
25:21.0
on the billboards.
25:23.0
Okay.
25:25.0
I'll check it, Ronald.
25:27.0
Maybe you have a billboard of yours
25:29.0
that you're endorsing.
25:31.0
Next thing I know, right?
25:33.0
Ronald, that's it.
25:35.0
Thank you very much.
25:37.0
Grats.
25:39.0
Ronaldo, Ricardo.
25:41.0
It's R&R, Ronaldo and Ricardo.
25:43.0
Football players.
25:45.0
Thank you very much, Secretary Llamas.
25:47.0
I hope to catch up with you
25:49.0
weekend or early next week.
25:51.0
Sorry if you're tired.
25:53.0
I really appreciate you giving us time
25:55.0
to discuss a whole...
25:57.0
Yes, yes.
25:59.0
Thank you.
26:01.0
Thank you so much.
26:03.0
God bless.
