00:00Sir friend, this is our promise. If you are going to force yourself to e-trike, there should be a program where you can get a unit that is affordable, that our income will not be affected.
00:18You know, this is a bit of a rude thing to say, but we will not allow you to lose your livelihood just like that.
00:27Because everything can be taken from us, not just our ability to feed our children and our family, right?
00:33So, in a proper discussion, I hope we can find a solution there.
00:38But me, I am pleading for you, if that is the law, we can make sure, just like my promise to the Jeepney operator, to change the scheme so that we can reach those who are forcing us.
