This is the point that we are trying to make.   Spending the next four years on the execution of many initiatives that will be of service to the local population. If we were to put in an application for such a four-year president in the Philippines, then this may bring about a significant shift in our nation as well, given the high rate of unemployment, the high level of poverty, and the low quality of the education system. You may argue that if that is the case, then it would be more beneficial for it to be six years long so that it can handle all of those difficulties. Then it is true that six years is a considerable amount of time; nevertheless, as a citizen of the Philippines, are you able to see any changes? As of today, the economic situation is becoming worse, and not only in the Philippines; nevertheless, what kinds of actions can we expect to see in the near future? Exists any of them? The threshold for poverty? Is it going somewhere? In point of fact, this is the case, yet, the gap between the affluent and poor continues to widen, with the former group enjoying ever-increasing wealth while the latter group endures ever-greater hardship.   It is easier to say than it is to accomplish, but if society is prepared to help, and the president has the support of the people, I don't see how there could be a problem. The first four years of the president's term can be used to boost the economy. It is important for us to keep in mind that our economy was once dubbed the Tiger Economy, but after the President's term of office (6 years), it fell back down to its previous level. It is true that a presidency lasting 4 years with the possibility of re-election is vastly superior. This is due to the fact that, as was mentioned earlier, it is not up to the president alone to determine whether or not he or she will be re-elected; rather, it is up to us, the voters, to evaluate the president's performance and decide whether or not he or she deserves to serve for another year or whether another candidate should take his or her place.  Question: Make a rebuttal question on this speech.
