For instance, the GSP (ph) privileges that we have been able to enjoy since my last visit with President Bush, we've been able to enjoy about a billion dollars a year, and again reinforce now, in GSP (ph) privileges, and if we get to include things like carrageenin in the GSP (ph) list as we are negotiating now, that's going to give a lot of work to all those people in the coastal areas of Mindanao, especially the areas which I said are the poorest provinces in our country.
