Israel had promised to retaliate against Iran after the latter launched an unprecedented drone attack on Israel over the weekend.
05:24.8
Iran's attack was in response to a deadly Israeli strike on Tehran's embassy in Syria that killed top military generals.

Good morning here in Dubai.
06:50.8
Good morning to you then.
06:52.2
Update us first on the current situation in Dubai.
06:54.8
Following the floods, is the situation back to normal for Dubai first and maybe later for Oman?
07:01.7
Yes. Currently, the transportation is about around 80% are back to normal.
07:08.9
As well as the flood, it's almost okay and everything is under control at the moment.
07:16.3
Okay. That's the situation in Dubai. What about Oman? What have you heard?
07:20.6
I've heard. With regards to Oman, it's...
07:24.8
We can see in the social media because we don't have...
07:28.4
Because Oman is different already country.
07:32.1
Not included in Dubai and Northern Emirates.
07:36.3
So as far as I know, Oman is more affected rather than the UAE.
07:40.9
Okay. Now, Elaine, we've heard about three Filipinos being victims, casualties in fact, in the floods.
07:47.7
What do you know about this so far?
07:49.9
Yes, that is right.
07:52.0
It was already officially...
07:54.8
Featured already and I believe that the migrant workers' office are already in coordination with the family and the employee of these victims.
08:06.0
All right. And the identities, of course, have been known.
08:11.8
You know, the government is saying it will assist in the repatriation of the remains.
08:17.1
Talk to us now about the other Filipinos who may not have been casualties.
08:21.3
But we're also severely affected by the flooding.
08:24.8
They're in Dubai.
08:26.0
What were the most common appeals that you've heard from our countrymen?
08:30.7
Yes, most of the affected Filipinos, they are appealing with regards for the transportation.
08:36.2
They are having difficulties to, you know, come back to their work.
08:41.7
As well as they are also affected by the electricity and flood in their buildings.
08:48.0
Okay, Elaine, what about evacuation centers?
08:51.2
Because when there are flooding...
08:53.2
When floods happen here in the Philippines,
08:54.8
we usually have temporary shelters.
08:57.2
Is that the same situation in the UAE for those Filipinos affected?
09:02.3
Are there others there who are in temporary shelters right now?
09:06.3
What do you know?
09:08.0
As of the moment, we are fine because most of the Filipinos are staying in a flat whereas it's elevated.
09:16.5
And they are okay at the moment.
09:19.6
There are no evacuation happening right now.
09:22.4

09:42.4
Yes, as an active organization of the Filipino Social Club, we have a group in WhatsApp and we are very well coordinated to our leaders here in Dubai.
09:54.8
And we are in a situation that at any time that we are having an inquiry with regards to our kababayan here in Dubai, United Arab of Emirates,
10:07.1
we are able to, you know, to gather some information to all our kababayan so we will be able to extend our help to them.
10:18.1
Eleni, let's talk about another matter, the developments in the peace and order situation.
10:24.8
In the Middle East, what is the pulse now among the Filipino community members as regards a possible spillover of conflict between Israel and now with Iran?
10:36.1
And I'm sure your group has been talking about this already.
10:39.9
This is already part of those conversations that you're having as regards safety of Filipinos there.
10:46.3
So what are you hearing so far?
10:47.8
With regards to that, we are giving, you know, our full trust to the government as we are very safe in here and the government is also taking care of that.
11:03.7
So what message have you heard from the Department of Foreign Affairs?
11:07.0
You know, there should be contingency plans already in place in case the tension or the conflict escalates in the Middle East,
11:15.5
which may eventually affect.
11:17.8
Are there other countries there aside from those involved?
11:21.5
As of the moment there, we are, we did not receive anything advice from our government.
11:29.5
As far as I understand that the government, especially in Dubai government, are doing their study with regards to that, what do you call that, with that issue.
11:42.4
And in case that happen, for sure that we will be able to.
11:47.8
Advice accordingly with regards to the government itself.

Back here at home, First Lady Lisa Reneta Marcos opening up on her strained relationship with Vice President Sara Duterte.
12:09.3
She spoke to broadcaster Antonita Berna on his YouTube channel.
12:13.6
The First Lady said she was always kind to the Vice President.
12:17.0
But she admitted she was hurt when Vice President Duterte attended a Davao City rally and laughed when her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, accused her husband of being a drug addict.
12:30.8
Kumusta kayo ni VP Sara?
12:33.1
I was always kind to her.
12:35.1
When Bong had that Bagong Litpunan rally, she came and my husband, that was supposed to be December eh.
12:44.6
Parang to start the new year o Bagong Pilipinas.
12:47.5
Parang huwag na tayo mag-away, mabait tayo, let's help the people, blah, blah, blah, blah.
12:51.8
Eh, na-postpone, ganyan.
12:53.4
So I think it was in Feb or March, right?
12:56.1
So she went there at three, and then she went to Davao.
13:02.2
And then when she went to Davao, Duterte said, oh, bangag, bangag, diba?
13:07.3
Imagine a former President calling, ano, bangag.
13:11.6
I mean, wow, you had six years, why would you call, ano, bangag, diba?
13:17.0
Sana ko, because my husband will do everything to protect you.
13:20.7
You ran together, diba?
13:22.1
Sama-sama tayo, babangon muli.
13:24.2
Pupunta ka sa rally, tatawagan yung presidente mong bangag, matatak.
13:30.4
Diba, you're going to laugh?
13:33.5
Even Lenny never did that.
13:36.8
There have been speculations of a rift between the two
13:40.2
after the First Lady seemingly ignored Vice President Duterte during a send-off ceremony last month.
13:47.0
But President Marcos has always maintained he has no issues with the Vice President.
13:54.0
The First Lady also hinted at possible tensions with her sister-in-law,
13:59.0
Senator Amie Marcos, in the same interview with Anthony Taberna.
14:02.9
The First Lady was asked about her relationship with the Senator,
14:05.9
who is not keen on defending her brother from the tirades of the Duterte clan.
14:11.0
This was her response.
14:14.0
Maybe you should ask her. I'm just the outlaw.
14:17.0
I know what line not to cross.
14:19.8
Pero nasa speaking terms ba kayo?
14:22.8
Well, every Sunday we have a family lunch.
14:27.6

14:33.7
Ma'am, ako pa. May group chat kami, lahat sila nandyan.
14:37.6
Sabi niya, anong group chat?
14:39.0
Ah, ma'am, hindi ko na pala.
14:41.0
No, no, but she's always invited.
14:42.9
Kailan pa kayo huling nag-ausap ng civil?
14:47.0
Ah, when did we? Christmas, I think.
14:52.0

Fiber Backbone Phase
20:50.8
According to the DICT, the National Fiber Backbone Project
20:54.6
aims to increase internet connectivity
20:56.8
and service capacity in the Philippines
20:59.0
through a demand-responsive
21:01.3
neutral fiber backbone
21:03.1

21:21.6
bringing high-speed internet access to at least 14 provinces in northern and central Luzon,
21:27.5
two national government data centers, and four BCDA echo zones.
21:32.5
This is expected to empower 346 national and local government offices connected to GovNet,
21:39.0
boosting their overall operational efficiency and generating more than 145 million pesos
21:45.4
in potential savings annually, according to the President.

31:35.2
Friday and Saturday afternoon,
31:36.4
thunderstorms may be experienced
31:38.8
and parts of Mindanao.
31:40.4
And on Sunday, however,
31:41.5
scattered rains will begin
31:42.8
in the morning in Caraga and Davao regions
31:45.1
and spread to Bohol, Cebu,
31:48.4
and the rest of Mindanao
31:49.6
from midday through the afternoon.
31:51.5
But Metro Manila will remain hot
31:53.3
and dry this Saturday and Sunday.
31:55.7

foreigners holding Philippine student visas
32:04.4
warned against engaging in illegal activities.
32:07.0
The Immigration Bureau says
32:08.8
that this could subject them
32:10.3
to intelligence investigations.
32:12.6
The statement comes after
32:13.7
some lawmakers raised concerns
32:15.8
on the increased presence
32:17.1
of Chinese students
32:18.2
in areas hosting joint military facilities
32:21.2
of Washington and Manila.
32:24.3
Lawmakers have called
32:25.5
for an investigation
32:26.4
into the possibility
32:27.9
of Chinese sleeper cells
32:32.2
the Immigration Bureau hopes
32:34.5
legitimate foreign students

The Energy Department
32:42.1
expects a mixed bag
32:43.6
of price adjustments
32:44.6
in petroleum products next week.
32:46.8
Gasoline prices seem
32:48.0
going up by as much as
32:49.6
60 centavos per liter
32:51.5
while diesel and kerosene
32:53.1
could see a rollback.
32:54.8
Energy officials say
32:55.9
despite heightened geopolitical conflict
32:58.0
in the Middle East,
32:59.0
demand from the U.S. went down
33:00.5
due to a build-up in inventory
33:02.8
plus weaker demand from China.
33:07.3
There could be more
33:08.6
in the coming months
33:11.0
red lightning alert season.
33:13.1
Airlines and airport authorities say
33:15.0
while they are ready,
33:17.1
they are appealing to the public
33:18.3
for understanding.
33:20.2
Jackie Pascual reports.
33:23.2
Airlines warn passengers
33:24.8
of the coming red lightning alert season
33:26.9
which is expected to begin in May.
33:29.1
Budget carrier Cebu Pacific says
33:32.2
there were four red lightning alerts
33:35.9
But it jumped to 20 in May
33:40.2
In total, over 1,000 flights
33:42.1
of Cebu Pacific alone
33:43.2
were disrupted by RLA in 2023.
33:47.1
The airline has now installed
33:49.3
additional lightning shelters
33:51.8
for the safety of ground
33:53.7
and ramp workers.
33:55.4
If a lightning strikes,
33:56.8
whether it strikes
33:57.6
close to that shelter,
33:59.3
whether it strikes
33:59.9
actually on that shelter,
34:01.0
they're protected.
34:02.3
But on the second hour,
34:03.4
if you're at the boarding gates,
34:05.0
we provide meals na kagad.
34:06.4
We have spare provisions
34:08.6
very generous spare provisions
34:12.5
to ensure operational resilience
34:16.3
even for things that are beyond our control.
34:19.5
RLA could take a few minutes
34:21.1
and even an hour or two
34:22.5
and this had an economic impact
34:26.4
Cebu Pacific estimates
34:27.7
they lose around 5 to 10 million pesos
34:30.8
because of lightning alerts
34:32.4
which affect flights
34:34.0
as well as fuel and power consumption.
34:37.2
Philippine Airlines says
34:38.2
RLA is declared by the government
34:40.1
as a safety measure
34:41.2
to prevent untoward incidents
34:42.7
to passengers and personnel.
34:45.5
AirAsia Philippines appeals
34:46.8
to passengers for patience
34:49.7
as sometimes it can cause
34:51.6
a one-hour delay.
34:53.2
For Transportation Secretary
34:55.3
the airport is ready
34:56.6
in case more RLAs are issued.
35:00.0
We conform to all these
35:01.9
procedures and policies
35:05.5
not only of the aircraft
35:07.4
but also of the passengers.
35:08.2
The personnel that
35:09.3
are handling flights
35:13.7
na mabawasan yung inconvenience
35:16.5
kung sakaling magkaroon
35:19.5
red lightning alert.
35:21.4
Bautista also guarantees
35:22.8
na IA will not be underwater
35:24.5
in case a heavy downpour
35:26.7
similar to what happened
35:28.4
at Dubai International Airport.
35:30.9
Maganda naman yung ating
35:31.8
drainage system dito.
35:33.3
Ang pagkakaiba sa Dubai
35:36.1
ang Dubai kasi hindi umuulan.
35:39.9
naisama dun sa kanilang plano
35:44.0
o pagkakaroon ng magandang
35:47.9
Bautista also asserts
35:49.4
that na IA is ready
35:50.2
for any power interruptions
35:51.7
if and when power supply
35:53.3
dwindles amid the high heat index.
35:55.9
Last month, na IA suffered
35:57.1
a power failure in one terminal
35:58.6
affecting the air conditioning system.

36:05.6
The social security system
36:07.6
is targeting the increase
36:09.2
or to increase the number
36:10.7
in fact of informal workers
36:12.6
onboarded into the system
36:14.2
through its e-wheels program.
36:16.7
Lady Vicencio tells us
36:21.1
Of the 43 million members
36:23.2
of the social security system
36:26.2
not even half belong
36:27.4
to the informal sector
36:28.6
which comprises most
36:30.4
of the labor force
36:32.5
This sector includes vendors,
36:34.7
domestic and transport workers
36:37.4
working for family members.
36:39.4
To be able to provide
36:40.6
social protection
36:41.5
to more informal workers,
36:43.5
SSS launched its e-wheels program
36:45.7
in one of the known textile markets
36:47.9
located in the town of Taytay
36:49.6
in Rizal province.
36:51.8
An informal sector
36:53.4
na kailangan bigyan ng pansin
36:55.6
kasi yung mga employed sector
36:59.6
yung mga nasa kumpanya,
37:03.2
it's already given
37:04.3
na before they are being hired,
37:06.9
kailangan may SSS na sila
37:08.2
at kailangan maayos ang hulog.
37:10.1
So ito yung sektor
37:10.9
na dapat tuunan natin ng pansin
37:12.6
kasi ito yung pinaka-importante
37:15.3
ang informal sector.
37:17.1
SSS is looking to onboard
37:18.9
around 2,500 informal workers
37:21.4
and give access to benefits
37:28.0
and unemployment.
37:29.3
These off-site booths
37:30.6
facilitate an array of services
37:32.2
such as membership application,
37:34.5
issuance of social security number
37:36.2
and payment rights,
37:36.9
reference number,
37:38.0
and updating of membership data.
37:40.1
Members filing for benefit claims
37:41.8
may also be assisted.
37:44.8
sa pagtitindihan ng sampagita
37:48.9
Matagal lang hindi ko nabiripay.
37:50.6
Kaya gusto kong malaman
37:52.3
kung ilan ang ano ko dito
37:56.9
SSS said e-wheel services
37:58.6
can also be availed
37:59.8
by residents from nearby towns
38:01.5
with no SSS branch near them.
38:04.0
The agency is also tying up
38:05.8
with other local government
38:06.9
units in hopes to bring
38:08.4
social protection
38:09.4
to the grassroots.
38:16.4

Mobility will be key to recovery
39:16.8
because we have relaxed some of our quarantine methods
39:21.1
and we have allowed more transportation to come out.
39:25.5
That's going to prove to be better for demand.
39:28.7
If we do follow the health protocols,
39:31.5
the ability of people to move around will likely contribute better to growth.
39:36.9
Thank you for watching!

World News, the full 12-person jury in Donald Trump's historic criminal trial has been seated.
44:12.9
The panel is composed of seven men and five women.
44:16.4
The Manhattan court is now working on selecting six alternates and one has been picked so far.
44:22.7
Judge Juan Marchand is hopeful the selection process will be finished when the trial resumes Friday.
44:28.8
Outside the courtroom, the former U.S. President once again railed at Marchand, calling the trial a New York scam.
44:38.9
Trump is accused of falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal.
44:58.8
The DA that's out of control, you have a judge that's highly conflicted, the whole thing is a mess.
45:05.6
And you have the leading candidate and leading prudential by-line, he's the one that should be in charge.
45:11.3
We have no justice in having a press that doesn't want to cover the facts.
45:17.6
Meanwhile, prosecutors say Trump violated his gag order seven more times.
45:22.4
This order was issued to stop Trump from making statements about witnesses, jurors, prosecutors,
45:30.4
Judge Marchand will have a hearing on the matter next week.
45:36.3
From Trump's trial to the campaign trail, U.S. President Joe Biden getting the endorsement of the Kennedys
45:42.3
during a campaign event in Philadelphia.
45:45.2
This in rebuke for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent bid for the White House.
45:50.0
Many in the elite family have broken with Kennedy, who is a known anti-vaccine advocate, over his views.
45:58.8
We want to make crystal clear our feeling that the best way forward for America
46:06.0
is to re-elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to four more years.
46:13.1
President Biden has been a champion for all the rights and freedoms that my father and uncle stood for.
46:20.7
That's why nearly every single grandchild of Joe and Rose Kennedy supports Joe Biden.
46:28.8
Biden has been campaigning in Pennsylvania this week, a critical swing state for his re-election bid.
46:39.8
What an incredible honor. What an incredible honor.
46:44.3
I don't want to become emotional, but what an incredible honor to have the support of the Kennedy family.
46:50.7
Donald Trump's vision is one of anger, hate, revenge, and retribution.
46:55.1
He embraces the insurrectionists of January the 6th.
46:59.2
He's running on it.
47:01.3
And as mentioned already, he promised to be a dictator on day one.
47:05.6
In 2024, we have a chance to make hope and history rhyme again.
47:11.3
Are you ready to do that with me?
47:12.9
Are you ready to move forward, not back?
47:29.2
He shared some of the highlights of his storied NBA career in this interview with our very own Migs Bustos.
47:36.9
We have five-time NBA champion and of course Laker legend right here on ABS-CBN News, Mr. Derek Fisher.
47:44.2
Thank you so much, Derek, for joining us here in Manila.
47:47.0
Now, Derek, when you talk about at least the most talked about championships that you've had with the Lakers,
47:52.1
the first three-peat and the back-to-back, can you tell us the difference of those eras?
47:56.1
What was it like playing with a young Shaq and young Kobe?
47:59.2
And of course, your time with the back-to-back with the Lakers.
48:02.6
Yeah, no, it's a great question, man.
48:03.9
I think, you know, those teams were, the results were similar, but the styles were so different.
48:12.0
Shaq was so dominant physically.
48:14.6
The way we played at times, like, we just beat teams up and imposed our will on them physically due to Shaq's greatness.
48:24.3
And then obviously, as Kobe matured and developed as a player,
48:28.8
his greatness also complimented and supplemented Shaq, and we essentially became unbeatable.
48:37.1
The teams in the late 2000s, we did not have that physical advantage, right?
48:42.0
Like, Shaq was always the advantage.
48:44.6
So, the teams in the late 2000s, we were more cerebral.
48:48.5
We played faster.
48:50.6
With Kyle right there.
48:51.7
With Kyle Gasol, Lamar Odom, Trevor Ariza, Luke Walton.
48:56.1
Like, we had a really...
48:58.0
Our basketball...
48:58.8
Our basketball IQ was really high.
49:00.8
And the younger guys, they were keeping Kobe and myself, like, fresh mentally.
49:07.0
They pushed us in practice.
49:10.1
And I thought that those teams were just as great.
49:16.1
You know, losing in the finals to the Celtics in 08, that sucked and hurt.
49:20.9
But I thought in the late 2000s, we still accomplished a great deal.
49:24.8
Now, I'm going to compound this question.
49:27.9
Of course, you're...
49:28.8
Your playing career has spanned through decades and, of course, with multiple teams.
49:33.4
What does it take to be an elite point guard in the NBA?
49:36.6
Especially handling different types of egos, handling different types of players with teams such as the Lakers, the Jazz, and the Thunder.
49:44.1
All of these teams.
49:45.4
Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, during the time...
49:47.8
During the years that I played, you know, the position was different.
49:52.2
You didn't necessarily have to score as much as the guys do now.
49:58.0
I think the biggest...
49:58.8
The biggest thing in being a point guard or a leader on any team is, you know, you have to lead by example and you have to be willing to sacrifice for others.
50:09.6
That's how your teammates, you know, grow to trust you with the basketball and with being a leader.
50:15.3
They know that you're going to have their back.
50:18.5
You're going to make sure that everybody is getting what they need.
50:22.0
And I think the best leaders, you know, in business, in life, and in sports in particular,
50:28.8
point guards, that's what separates most of those guys.
50:32.6
It's not just them scoring points and putting stats up.
50:36.3
But being a guy that everybody on the team really respects at a high level.
50:41.1
And of course, you've played at a time in the 2000s where there's a transition from the 90s, 2000s.
50:46.9
But, you know, you spent your time in the game also as a coach.
50:49.3
Now, in this current generation of basketball, what is it like?
50:52.9
How has been your transition coaching in the pros and also coaching high school basketball?
50:58.0
The transition...
50:58.8
You know, starting in coaching at the pro level initially, you know, that was 10 years ago.
51:04.9
And the game has changed a lot from 2014 to 2024.
51:10.4
A lot of differences.
51:12.7
But taking my experiences from playing and coaching at the professional level on the men's side
51:18.5
as well as on the women's side in the WNBA.
51:21.4
And then just trying to combine those experiences to invest in young players now at the high school level.
51:27.3
I think the biggest thing, again,
51:28.8
is as a coach, you're a leader.
51:31.0
And your players have to feel like you care about their success more so than your record.
51:37.3
And that's something that you have to stay connected to every day.
51:40.6
Well, I'll just ask this quick.
51:41.8
Of course, the late Kobe Bryant, how was he like as a brother, as a teammate?
51:45.2
And as an individual overall?
51:47.2
I think, you know, like all brothers, there are days where they get on your nerves
51:53.9
and you just want to fight them and beat them up.
51:56.4
And then, you know, there are other days where...
51:58.8
Nobody means more to you than your brother.
52:02.7
And, you know, we had a lot of days where we pushed each other, we made each other better.
52:08.6
But, you know, I think, you know, Kobe inspired an entire generation of people
52:13.3
to just want to be better, to want to be as great as what you're doing as possible.
52:19.6
And that's a true testament to what legacy really is,
52:23.6
is the impact he was able to have on our world.
52:25.5
So, Derek, your message to all the Filipino fans watching this interview,
52:28.8
I mean, first and foremost, to all the Filipino fans watching right now,
52:33.6
thank you for always making me and my loved ones, whoever, feel so welcome here.
52:40.0
This is my second time here.
52:41.9
Always feels very comfortable.
52:44.7
And to be halfway around the world, that says a lot about you more so than me.
52:50.1
And so, thank you so much for welcoming us with open arms.
52:53.5
Thank you for your love for the game of basketball, the way the NBA has grown.
52:58.8
I'd be sitting here without the support of people like you.
53:08.2
And before we go, a Filipino restaurant is recognized as one of the most popular
53:13.7
and best-reviewed food establishments in Florida.
53:17.5
Paul Garilao tells us how abstract Filipino essence landed in Yelp's Top 100 list.
53:24.7
In a triumph for local cuisine,
53:27.7
abstract Filipino essence is the most popular food establishment in the United States.
53:28.7
Yelp Essence in Jacksonville, Florida has landed a coveted position
53:32.7
on the Top 100 for 2024 of the popular business directory, Yelp.
53:38.6
It's kind of cool that, you know, I'm representing our culture.
53:41.7
You know, like, you know, again, Top Yelp 100.
53:44.5
Before I started doing this, I always asked myself,
53:48.3
bakit nagpakain natin wala sa community?
53:50.3
So, I'm eager to do that for, you know, I will represent our culture to the community.
53:58.7
The Yelp Top 100 is an annual list that features a wide range of restaurants
54:04.1
across the U.S. based on user review and popularity.
54:09.1
Abstract is the only Filipino restaurant and the only Northeast Florida food establishment
54:14.3
that made it to the list.
54:16.6
Community only knows Filipino food is lumpia, you know.
54:20.4
So, I kind of like wanted to introduce more.
54:24.6
That's why our hashtag is more than lumpia.
54:26.7
Jojo Hernandez, the visionary entrepreneur behind Abstract,
54:31.9
is from Pangasinan province in the Northern Philippines
54:35.1
and has over 21 years of culinary experience.
54:39.2
He says the restaurant was originally launched as a modest tent setup.
54:44.1
Abstract soon transitioned into a food truck as demand grew during the peak of COVID-19 pandemic.
54:50.4
Start saving some money.
54:52.2
So, I end up buying a food truck to start with.
54:55.0
It's kind of cool.
54:56.7
Parang advertisement na rin.
54:58.5
You know, you go bounce like community to buildings to like, you know, job and all that kind of stuff.
55:04.2
The persistent calls from local patrons turned loyal customers led to the establishment
55:09.8
of Abstract's brick and mortar site.
55:13.3
The move is a significant milestone in the restaurant's journey

from being a simple street food to becoming a household culinary name in Jacksonville.

The chef attributes the uniqueness of Abstract
55:25.2
to its compelling narrative of food production.
55:28.8
Our recipe in here is a family recipe.
55:31.2
So, I make everything from the scratch in here like even the mamacita adobo seasoning.
55:36.9
So, I have like, you know,
55:39.7
dried, dusted adobo chicken wings kind of like appetizer
55:43.0
instead of buying those packets because right now everything's expensive.
55:46.5
So, I start making it my own.

The best-selling dishes such as sisig, adobo, and chicken tocino embody a culinary fusion
55:54.8
that blends traditional Filipino flavors and Western cuisine elements,
55:59.8
according to Chef Hernandez.
56:01.8
Despite the presence of other Filipino restaurants in Jacksonville,
56:05.6
Hernandez says he does not want to compete with them but instead,
56:09.8
live them, collaborate with them with the common goal of promoting Filipino culture.
56:15.8
For me, it's not a competition.
56:17.8
Because I believe Filipino, we have a different talent.
56:21.3
Like, you know, I'm Ilocano, you know, my wife is Kapangpangan.
56:24.8
So, she cook, they, Kapangpangan cook a different adobo.
56:28.8
We cook a different adobo.
56:30.8
So, I have so much respect with them.
56:32.8
So, I don't see it as a competition.
56:34.8
It's the way how you, how you present your food.
56:38.8
The more Filipino food around us in Jacksonville,
56:42.8
the better for us too na malalaman nila yung pagkain natin.

Mobility will be key to recovery
57:57.8
because we have relaxed some of our quarantine methods
58:02.8
and we have allowed more transportation to come out.
58:06.8
That's going to prove to be better for demand.
58:09.8
If we do follow the health protocols,
58:12.8
the ability of people to move around will likely contribute better to growth.
