Eduardo Villanueva gave a 28-minute welcoming speech.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cBiyayaan po ninyo ng tunay na kapayapaan ang aming bayan,\u201d he said in his prayer.<\/p>\n\n<p>(Bless our nation with real peace.)<\/p>\n\n<p>The President asked for hope for the people and strength to pursue the \u201cdaang matuwid\u201d (straight path).<\/p>\n\n<p>Aquino lauded the JIL for helping Filipinos and the government in its reform agenda.<\/p>\n\n<p>He urged the group to continue to help uplift the lives of the people, especially those who are less fortunate.<\/p>\n\n<p>Aquino praised Villanueva and his son, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) Secretary Joel Villanueva.<\/p>\n\n<p>He said the televangelist was clearly focused on the situation of others.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cNang dumating ang panahon na tila namnhid na ang maraming kababayan sa korapsyon&#8230;nanguna ulit si Bro.
