01:03.0
Sabi mo nga, hindi ka man guro, but you make sure that you engage yourself with the young people and students.
01:10.9
Tanong ko, bakit at ano ang natututunan mo?
01:13.1
In
Taguig kasi, we believe that our greatest resource is our human resource.
01:18.2
And for us to guarantee a future that is bright, is comfortable for our people,
01:23.9
there's a need really to invest heavily on education.
01:27.0
We need to invest on training them.
01:31.0
We don't only focus on the academic side of training the younger generation,
01:35.8
but also the character.
01:37.9
Napakahalaga nun.
01:39.3
Skills training is also very important to us.
01:42.3
So kung naniniwala kami sa future na maganda para sa Taguig at para sa pamilyang Taguigeno,
01:49.6
malinaw sa amin na we need to invest on education.
01:53.1
Ang scholarship sa City of Taguig, hindi lang binibigay sa...
01:57.0
top 10 percent, yung hindi lang pinaka mauhusay academically because we believe in Taguig na
02:02.9
hindi lang sa academic side ang focus dapat natin.
02:08.1
Kasi yung intelligence, may iba-ibang form yan.
02:11.3
Pwede hindi nag-excel sa academics, pero mahusay sa arts, mahusay sa sports.
02:15.9
So we recognize that.
02:17.7
So ang mga kabataan sa Taguig, basta't gusto nila na mag-aral,
02:23.0
so supportahan ng local government.
02:25.0
In your case, in Taguig, Lani,
02:27.0
aware ba ang constituents mo at paano mo ipinapaalam sa kanila
02:32.9
na may mga programa ang iyong gobyerno sa edukasyon, sa kalusugan,
02:38.0
at marami pang iba para sa kanila na available, halimbawa, sa City Hall?
02:42.4
How do you do it?
02:43.4
My style, Tito Boy, is very personal.
02:46.7
So in Taguig, we have what we call enumerators.
02:49.8
Their job is to go around the city.
02:53.3
Bababa sa barangay, bababa sa mga purok.
02:57.0
Aabutin at tatanungin ang mga constituents natin ang kanilang mga pangangailangan.
03:02.2
At nakita namin very effective ito kasi nag-guide ng mga data na nakukuha namin,
03:07.4
ang mga programang inilulunsad namin.
03:09.7
So nagsisimula ako bilang mayor ng Taguig, nakita namin na bagamat nag-grow yung city natin
03:15.9
at yung opportunity ay pumapasok sa city natin, may disconnect because we weren't able to provide
03:23.3
the manpower needed.
03:27.0
By the companies na nagbubukas sa City of Taguig.
03:31.6
So ang goal is to actually bridge the gap at nakita namin na kung gusto namin na ang mga taga-Taguig ay hindi lang nakatira sa Taguig
03:42.1
kundi magtatrabaho din sa Taguig, kailangan namin mag-provide ng assistance sa education.
03:48.3
And ngayon, I feel so happy pagka pumupunta ako sa business district ng Taguig, nagpapakilala na naging engineer,
03:56.3
naging doktor, naging accountant, so yun yung naging strategy namin dito, Boy.
04:05.3
And nakikita namin na nag-work siya.
04:08.0
You went to Congress for a term and then you came back to local government.
04:16.1
Ano ang pagkakaiba, Lani?
04:18.6
After one term in Congress, although I learned so many things,
04:23.4
binabalyo ko lahat ng natutunan ko.
04:26.3
But I realized that my personality is more suited in the local level.
04:33.2
And kung gagawa ako ng isang bagay o papasok ako sa isang larangan, gusto ko, efektibo ako dun.
04:42.1
At nakita ko na sa local governance, mas maisi-share ko yung sarili ko at magagawa ko ang mga bagay na malapit sa puso ko.
04:51.7
Was it always politics? I know you started it dito, Rene.
04:56.3
A political affairs officer.
04:59.5
Yes, that's my first job.
05:02.2
When I had this wonderful opportunity to work with Sen. Rene Cayetano,
05:07.4
nakita ko na kaya talaga ng mga public officials to be an instrument of transformation in the community.
05:14.7
Nakita ko na pag pinaniwalaan mo ang mga prinsipyo mo at tinanslate mo ito sa mga programa, nakakabago talaga ng buhay ng tao.
05:25.4
Doon nag-officize mo?
05:27.2
But it was really my husband, Alan, who really introduced me to the world of public service.
05:34.8
Let's talk about electoral contests, not just in Taguig but in this country.
05:39.2
You've been through a lot of elections, Lani. Ano ang dapat baguhin, anong dapat manatili sa iyong pananaw pagdating sa eleksyon?
05:47.7
I would say personal attacks.
05:50.4
Kasi pag personal yung atake at hindi na tungkol sa governance,
05:56.1
bumaba ba yung kalidad ng diskurso and we're not helping the constituents and we're not guiding them.
06:05.9
Hindi natin sila nabibigyan ng pagkakataon na mas makilala kung ano yung leadership style natin.
06:12.3
Kasi minsan dinadala sa personal. That's what I don't like.
06:17.1
Pero pag pinipersonal ka, na hindi naman maiiwasan, lalo na pag mga eleksyon, anong ginagawa mo?
06:24.8
To be very honest, I don't like it.
06:26.1
honest, I'm a very
06:28.0
sensitive person. Kaya
06:32.6
Iniisip ko palagi
06:36.0
mga sinasabi sa akin.
06:42.1
kapagkatapos kong isipin
06:43.8
at andyan dyan na yung trabaho,
06:46.4
nasishift ko siya at nakaka-focus
06:48.2
ako sa trabaho ko.
06:50.0
I can still go on. I can still
06:56.2
hurt and focus on
06:58.1
the task at hand.
07:00.3
Kasi may mga tao, may mga pamilyang
07:02.2
umaasa sa akin as their leader.
07:04.0
You need to tell us your story. Nung bago
07:06.1
kang mayor, ano ang dinatnan mo?
07:09.8
political landscape? Anong
07:12.0
administrasyon sa tagig?
07:14.4
And what did you do as a young mayor?
07:16.4
Nung umupo ako as mayor,
07:19.3
less than 2 billion
07:20.1
yung budget ng city. Ang laki yung
07:22.1
populasyon. Malaki ang land area.
07:24.3
Maraming mga programang kailangan
07:26.2
gawin. Tapos meron pang
07:30.0
billion pesos ang
07:34.2
work on the trust of
07:36.2
the constituency, the trust of
07:38.3
the business community. We
07:39.7
set up business friendly policies
07:42.7
and sinigurado namin
07:45.8
ang ating mga polisiya pagdating
07:48.3
sa pamumuhunan sa tagig. Bakit
07:50.3
ko binabanggit yun? Kasi dyan natin
07:52.3
kinukuha ang mga pantustos
07:54.3
natin sa mga programang
07:56.6
pambayan. By just
07:58.4
efficient collection
08:02.3
ng tama sa nakolekta,
08:06.0
nadoble yung pondo ng
08:08.0
city of tagig. Ang utang
08:12.0
ay nasettle. Nung natapos ang term ko
08:16.3
settled lahat ng utang.
08:18.4
So debt free nang iniwanan
08:20.5
ko ang tagig at nasa
08:22.3
healthy financial state.
08:25.8
In terms of leadership, Lani,
08:28.0
are you a consensus builder?
08:30.5
I know you create teams
08:32.3
assigned to do tasks.
08:34.8
But in terms of consulting
08:36.4
with not the constituents
08:38.3
but people who help you
08:39.7
administer and manage
08:45.7
Hindi ako nagdidesisyon ng ako lang.
08:48.5
So we were able to
08:50.1
successfully form
08:52.0
a team na ang kasunduan
08:54.2
namin. Wala tayong magiging
08:56.0
desisyon na hindi natin pinag-uusapan.
08:60.0
many. Meron tayong system
09:02.1
na ganyan sa tagig.
09:03.4
Peace and order of tagig, kumusta?
09:06.1
Relatively in the
09:07.8
national capital region, nananatiling
09:10.3
maayos ang peace and order
09:12.0
generally sa city of
09:14.3
tagig. Nabigyan ng
09:16.1
parangal ang city
09:18.0
of tagig sa mga matagumpay
09:21.2
drugs operations sa ating
09:25.7
lahat halos ng mga
09:28.0
kaso ng mga nakapiit
09:30.1
ngayon sa kulungan, drug
09:32.0
related yan. So kung mahusay
09:34.4
ang anti-drug campaign
09:36.4
ng isang lokal na pamahalaan,
09:38.1
ibig sabihin, significantly
09:39.8
nare-reduce din ang mga krimen
09:42.1
na nangyayari sa ating
09:43.9
pamayanan. But we also
09:45.3
support rehabilitation,
09:47.9
Tito Boy. We spend
09:49.9
a lot sa pagre-rehabilitate
09:52.1
ng mga family members na
09:55.4
napunta dyan sa direksyo na yan.
09:58.2
Because it is a health issue.
09:59.7
It is a health issue. So we cannot
10:04.7
by-bus operation. Lahat yan.
10:08.1
Mahalaga yan lahat. Pero
10:09.6
kailangan meron ding
10:13.6
reformation. I want to pick your brains
10:17.8
parties of this country.
10:20.4
May mga nagsasabing
10:21.5
epektibo ang multi-party system. May mga
10:24.0
nagsasabing ibalik natin ang two-party system.
10:26.9
Anong yung pananaw at
10:28.0
anong epekto nito sa
10:29.9
lokal na politika or public
10:31.9
service for that matter?
10:39.8
lokal, hindi siya masyadong
10:43.8
lokal, dahil mas maliit yung
10:48.6
madali sa tao ang
10:49.6
pagdidesisyon. But on a
10:58.1
kasi hindi mo na makita
11:00.5
ang stand ng partido
11:02.3
sa mga mahalagang issues. I think
11:04.2
kailangan na mabigyan
11:06.4
ng platform siguro
11:08.5
ang lahat ng mga kandidato
11:10.5
na mausisa, no? Yung
11:12.2
mga personal stand.
11:14.8
Pag masyado ng marami,
11:17.0
parang nalilito yung mga
11:18.2
tao. Here's another thing.
11:20.7
Ito, again, this is not about
11:22.2
the gig. This is not about
11:24.0
Lani Caetano. Ito na naman yung
11:28.9
about politics in general.
11:32.4
mag-politika ka, yayamang ka.
11:37.8
gaganda ang buhay mo.
11:39.2
Your take on this, Lani,
11:41.5
and how does this affect you
11:43.1
as a public servant?
11:45.1
That is something
11:47.1
that we struggle with as
11:49.2
public officials.
11:52.0
Kasi ang katotohanan,
11:53.8
yung ginagamit, yung ginagamit,
11:54.0
yung ginawa ng ilan,
11:55.9
damay yung buong institusyon,
11:57.7
at talaga namang may mga na-convict talaga
11:60.0
at may mga na-patunayan talaga.
12:06.7
ang tao sa ngayon
12:09.0
mga nakikita nila, lahat ng
12:14.8
lahat ng mga problema
12:16.4
sa sistema ng gobyerno
12:26.0
servant, talagang mahirap
12:33.2
communicate with the people
12:37.8
that nare-reflect sa paraan
12:39.8
ng pamumuhay namin yung values
12:42.0
ng isang public servant
12:44.2
na mapagkakatiwalaan nila.
12:46.0
Two women have become presidents of
12:47.8
this country. President
12:49.9
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
12:58.5
about, in your opinion,
13:01.0
about women leaders?
13:04.0
women are more sensitive,
13:07.1
we have the patience
13:10.2
I think. At pag kami
13:14.1
ang pagdidesisyon ay
13:15.5
para lagi sa interest ng pamilya.
13:18.1
And I'm not saying
13:19.1
wala ito or absent ito
13:21.8
sa mga kalalakihan, but by nature,
13:24.0
kasi dinisen nyo ang mga kalalakihan
13:26.4
to be the provider,
13:28.3
siya yung matatag, siya yung lumalabas
13:33.0
para mag-provide sa pamilya niya.
13:34.7
So ang naiiwan sa tahanan
13:36.0
ay yung nanay. So ang nakakaalam
13:38.3
ng mga problema sa tahanan,
13:40.9
una ay ang nanay.
13:43.1
Ita-translate mo yan
13:44.4
sa local governance.
13:46.6
So yung atensyon namin sa detalye,
13:49.0
sa mga pangangailangan
13:50.3
ng bayan, I think
13:52.5
mas may patience tayong mga
13:55.0
Do you think being a mayor
13:58.4
in a very, very special way
14:00.3
a person for the presidency?
14:02.3
Definitely. Kasi yung issue
14:05.0
na kinakaharap ng ating
14:09.0
katulad halimbawa
14:10.6
sa peace and order.
14:13.5
Kaming mga mayors,
14:16.1
nakikipagtrabaho tayo
14:17.4
sa DILG, sa Philippine National
14:20.4
responsibilidad ng city mayors
14:23.2
ang peace and order situation
14:25.0
sa kanyang lokalidad.
14:26.8
When we talk about economics
14:28.6
sa national level,
14:31.4
ganun din ang mga mayors.
14:33.2
Umiisip at gumagawa siya
14:34.7
ng paraan to make sure
14:36.8
that the city is conducive
14:39.4
for businesses to thrive.
14:41.5
Okay. Last question, Lani.
14:42.9
When you think about what you
14:44.9
as a public servant has done
14:48.9
do you have that sense of
14:52.9
to be able to protect
14:54.4
kung anuman ang nagawa
14:56.5
natin, not you singularly,
14:59.0
but with the help of so many people
15:03.0
of Taguig, para mapanatili
15:05.4
yung moving forward
15:08.4
syudad ng Taguig?
15:10.5
I think it's human nature.
15:12.8
Kung ikaw ay bahagi ng pagbibuild
15:19.2
ng transformation,
15:21.1
you have that human nature,
15:23.7
of your programs,
15:29.1
your achievements as a city.
15:31.3
And I'm confident na
15:32.6
sa pamamagitan ng
15:34.8
mga programang ginawa natin,
15:38.1
marami tayong katulong
15:41.9
or stakeholders sa community
15:43.4
na tutulong sa atin to safeguard
15:45.5
itong mga polisiya
15:47.4
na sinet na natin para sa ating
15:51.1
If you were to write your epitaph,
15:52.9
Ani, how would that go?
15:54.6
Siguro as a leader
16:05.2
nakikinig sa kanyang
16:10.4
malalim na ugnayan
16:13.0
sa kanyang mga nasasakupan.
16:17.0
personal relationship is very important
16:21.0
Hindi ako nakukulong
16:22.9
ako kontento na basta nakapagbibigay
16:25.3
lang ng serbisyo.
16:30.1
sabi ko sa aking core team,
16:35.0
tipo ng governance na
16:37.2
pag pinatuloy ka sa bahay,
16:39.3
kaya tayong papasukin hanggang sa
16:43.9
Ganon ka-personal
16:47.1
maalala ako ng mga constituents ko.
16:51.2
mapagtitiwalaan nila,
16:52.9
hindi lang pumasok hanggang sa
16:54.9
living area nila. Kaya nilang
16:57.1
patuloyin hanggang kusina,
16:59.0
hanggang kwarto nila
17:00.7
because yung trust ay nandiyan.
17:03.3
Yung trust na na-build
17:08.8
napakikipag-ugnayan sa kanila.
17:11.4
Na naging pamilya.
17:12.6
Yes. Lali, maraming salamat.
17:14.7
Thank you, Tito Boy.
