We’ve just found a compelling reason why the President’s speeches should have English subtitles: if Google can’t get it, who can?
Taong 1990 nang binuo ang tinatawag na nating PDAF ngayon para sa isang marangal na layunin: Ang bigyang-lakas ang inyong mga Kinatawan sa Kongreso, upang tumukoy ng mga proyektong hindi kayang pondohan ng mga local government units. Wala pong mali o masama sa polisiyang ito.
Google Translate: 1990 when we developed the so-called PDAF now for a noble purpose: The invigorate your Representatives in Congress, to define the project can not afford to fund local government units. None pong wrong or bad policy.
Official Gazette: In 1990, what we now know as PDAF was established for a worthy goal: to enable your representatives to identify projects for your communities that your LGU cannot afford. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with this policy.
Akala po ng iba, pera nila ang PDAF, na puwedeng gastusin kung paano nila gusto. Pero mali po ito: Pera ng bayan ang pinag-uusapan dito, at sa bayan dapat — at hindi sa ilang gahaman lamang– ang pakinabang nito.
Google Translate: Please think of others, money they PDAF, who can spend how they want. But-it’s wrong: Money people are talking about here, and the people should, and not just the greedy few advantages.
Official Gazette: There are those who treat PDAF as their own private fund, to use as they please. This is clearly wrong: What is involved here is the people’s money; it should be used for the benefit of the people, and not for the benefit of a few greedy individuals.
Buong-buo po ang kumpiyansa ko sa integridad nina Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales, Kalihim Leila M. de Lima, at Chairperson Grace Pulido-Tan; alam kong wala silang kikilingan. Kinakatawan nila ang panunumbalik ng tiwala ng publiko sa mga institusyong kanilang pinamumunuan.
Google Translate: Please totally confident my integrity by Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales, Secretary Leila M. de Lima, and Chairperson Grace Pulido-Tan, for I know they do not discriminate. They represent the restoration of public confidence in the institutions they lead.
Official Gazette: I have utmost confidence in the impartiality and integrity of Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales, Secretary Leila M. De Lima, and Chairperson Grace Pulido-Tan; I know that they will be impartial and just.
Gagana lamang po ang sistemang ito kung makikiisa at makikilahok kayo. Ihahayag po nang buo ang impormasyon; suyurin at kilitasin po natin ito.
Google Translate: Please systems only work if you unite and participate. Please fully disclosed information; Harrow and kilitasin concern.
Official Gazette: For this system to work, your cooperation is required. The information will be there for you to monitor: let us understand and examine it.
Nananawagan akong makiambag at magsikap ang bawat isa, gaya ng pakikiambag at pagsisikap ng inyong gobyerno.
Google Translate: I call makiambag and strive each other, as pakikiambag and effort of your government.
Official Gazette: I am calling on each and every Filipino to do his part, even as we do ours.
