135
00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:55,600
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: due to the COVID-19 pandemic, governance, and political transitions, which have put us in a critical catch-up phase.

136
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:05,580
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: Peace Care Year 2027 is a crucial year to fully fund and fast-track the normalization and transformation programs

143
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:45,100

145

149

150
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:17,260
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: However, robust baseline funding for Fiscal Year 2027

151
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:24,940

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: Mabuhay po tayong lahat.

423
00:57:22,020 --> 00:57:22,860
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you.

424
00:57:24,020 --> 00:57:25,440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yusef Wilbin Mayor.

425
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:27,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Despite the chair, I would like to acknowledge

426
00:57:27,780 --> 00:57:29,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the presence of our Senate President who

427
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:31,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: joined us this

428
00:57:31,220 --> 00:57:33,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: afternoon.

429
00:57:33,380 --> 00:57:35,600
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I have some questions but probably our

430
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:36,740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Senate President would like to

431
00:57:36,740 --> 00:57:39,700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: have his statement and ask some questions.

432
00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:41,820
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

433
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:43,880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: First of all,

434
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: let me welcome our colleagues from the

435
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: OPA-PRO, former Mayor,

436
00:57:47,740 --> 00:57:49,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Secretary Mel Cermento,

437
00:57:49,740 --> 00:57:51,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: former Chief of Police ngayon,

438
00:57:51,740 --> 00:57:53,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: USEC Wilbin Mayor.

439
00:57:53,740 --> 00:57:57,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Maraming salamat sa briefing niyo kanina.

440
00:57:57,740 --> 00:57:59,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And I saw that in your budget,

441
00:57:59,740 --> 00:58:01,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: you increased by about a billion pesos,

442
00:58:01,740 --> 00:58:04,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 1.1 billion pesos in your budget.

443
00:58:06,740 --> 00:58:09,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I would just like to get an update.

444
00:58:09,740 --> 00:58:17,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: One of the main direction of OPA-PRO is the

445
00:58:17,580 --> 00:58:20,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: decommissioning of the combatants.

446
00:58:20,580 --> 00:58:23,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And this has been a long time coming.

447
00:58:23,580 --> 00:58:28,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In fact, maraming nagiging issue tungkol dito.

448
00:58:28,580 --> 00:58:31,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But despite the challenges in the

449
00:58:31,580 --> 00:58:34,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: decommissioning and normalization,

450
00:58:34,580 --> 00:58:38,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nakita natin na naging relatively successful

451
00:58:38,580 --> 00:58:43,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: yung election last month sa BARM.

452
00:58:43,580 --> 00:58:47,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So in other words, there is support from our

453
00:58:47,580 --> 00:58:50,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: constituents to continue the gains of the

454
00:58:50,580 --> 00:58:56,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: peace process, to continue the gains of the BOL,

455
00:58:56,580 --> 00:58:58,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the Bangsa Moro Organic Law.

456
00:58:58,580 --> 00:59:00,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: However, we have to sustain it.

457
00:59:00,580 --> 00:59:02,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Itong pinakamahirap eh.

458
00:59:02,580 --> 00:59:05,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yung unang medyo relatively madali pero yung

459
00:59:05,580 --> 00:59:09,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: sustainability of peace is a challenging matter.

460
00:59:09,580 --> 00:59:12,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And that's where OPA-PRO will come in.

461
00:59:12,580 --> 00:59:16,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I would like to get a detailed update.

462
00:59:16,580 --> 00:59:20,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: On the decommissioning process that will lead to

463
00:59:20,580 --> 00:59:22,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the normalization process.

464
00:59:22,580 --> 00:59:28,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: For example, ilan bang combatants ang hindi pa natin na tutulungan

465
00:59:28,580 --> 00:59:30,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: o nade-decommission?

466
00:59:30,580 --> 00:59:34,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ilan pa ang nangangailangan ng educational assistance?

467
00:59:34,580 --> 00:59:37,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In fact, last year, I remember during the hearing,

468
00:59:37,580 --> 00:59:41,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: isa sa mga request ng OPA-PRO at that time

469
00:59:41,580 --> 00:59:44,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kay General Galvez Pais, yung educational assistance

470
00:59:44,580 --> 00:59:45,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in which we

471
00:59:45,580 --> 00:59:47,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: We provided 850 million.

472
00:59:47,580 --> 00:59:53,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Because our view is education is an integral part

473
00:59:53,580 --> 00:59:55,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: of the peace process.

474
00:59:55,580 --> 00:59:57,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I would like to get an update on where we are

475
00:59:57,580 --> 00:59:59,580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in terms of the decommissioning.

476
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:05,900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ano ba yung mga challenges na hinaharap natin dito sa decommissioning?

477
01:00:06,700 --> 01:00:12,080
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So anyone can answer? Secretary Mel or Usec Wilben, anyone can answer from the agency?

478
01:00:15,540 --> 01:00:24,520
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: Sir, currently, the total decommissioned combatants is 26,145.

479
01:00:24,940 --> 01:00:28,380
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: There's still 14,000 remaining to be decommissioned.

480
01:00:28,380 --> 01:00:36,300
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: And we're still yet waiting for the list of the 14,000.

481
01:00:36,300 --> 01:00:43,520
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: But this will be based on the discussion by the government and the MLF panels.

482
01:00:43,820 --> 01:00:54,980
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: As we can see, the appointment of the chair of the government panel was just recently in the person of the Secretary Mel.

483
01:00:55,300 --> 01:00:58,340
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: He is also the chair of the government implementing.

484
01:00:58,380 --> 01:01:18,120
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: Out of the 14,000 combatants, 4,625 weapons were turned over, Mr. Chair, Your Honors.

485
01:01:18,340 --> 01:01:19,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: How would you judge this?

486
01:01:20,940 --> 01:01:26,900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So at present, ilan po ang total armed members?

487
01:01:28,380 --> 01:01:33,620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: MLF that have yet to be part of the decommissioning?

488
01:01:35,300 --> 01:01:44,500
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Siguro po, umpisan po natin para po makita natin yung kabuang konteksto sa nagagaling lahat.

489
01:01:45,340 --> 01:01:52,020
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Una ng una, nagkaroon po tayo ng pagpirmahayong sa Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro.

490
01:01:52,020 --> 01:01:57,020
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: At eventually po, naging naipasa yung...

491
01:01:58,380 --> 01:01:59,980
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Bangsamoro Organic Law.

492
01:02:01,460 --> 01:02:18,980
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Nang naipasa po ito, ang sinabi ng MLF, meron po silang 40,000 na i-decommission na combatants.

493
01:02:18,980 --> 01:02:27,980
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Sa 40,000, 26,145 na na-decommissioned.

494
01:02:28,380 --> 01:02:31,420
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: At sa phase 1, phase 2, at saka phase 3.

495
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:39,320
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Yung phase 4, meron pang 13,855.

496
01:02:41,540 --> 01:02:49,420
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Sa usapin ng decommissioning, kasama dyan ang sinasabing parallel and commensurate.

497
01:02:49,420 --> 01:02:55,460
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Ibig sabihin, kailangan ma-deliver ng gobyerno.

498
01:02:56,300 --> 01:02:57,420
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Yung...

499
01:02:58,380 --> 01:03:06,500
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Ang mga napag-usapan sa Peace Implementing Panel, na kung sabihin natin na 40% na gawa na po ng gobyerno,

500
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:12,620
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: pwedeng may release yung 40% din ng kanilang armas.

501
01:03:13,620 --> 01:03:17,060
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, palagi pong ganoon ang proseso.

502
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:18,440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sa...

503
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Bangsamoro Organic Law was signed in 2018.

504
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:21,380
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 2018.

505
01:03:21,380 --> 01:03:23,780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And implementation started in 2019.

506
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:27,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, this will be the 8th year of the implementation.

507
01:03:27,660 --> 01:03:33,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, gano'ng katagal pa ho yung inaasa natin for the total na na-decommissioning?

508
01:03:34,500 --> 01:03:34,660
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Yung...

509
01:03:34,660 --> 01:03:35,340
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Yung...

510
01:03:35,340 --> 01:03:38,660
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Yung...

511
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:44,820
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Sa CAV and BOL, there's no amount stated with respect to the socioeconomic package

512
01:03:44,820 --> 01:03:47,240
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: that the government is supposed to provide.

513
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,620
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Unfortunately, I would say unfortunately,

514
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:54,280
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: there was an amount eventually declared

515
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: that each decommissioned combatant is supposed to get.

516
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:02,680
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: One million pesos worth of socioeconomic package.

517
01:04:03,820 --> 01:04:10,840
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, yun po ang naging malaking challenge sa aspeto po ng gobyerno.

518
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:15,880
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Nang umupo po ako, nakita natin may marami pong programa,

519
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,200
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: pero may mga challenges po tayong kailangan ma-address.

520
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:24,720
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Unang-una po, sa side po ng UPAPRU,

521
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,720
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: yung monitoring.

522
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:29,920
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, monitoring lang po kami sa karamihan nitong mga

523
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,260
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: socioeconomic package na ito.

524
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:35,880
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Sa socioeconomic package,

525
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:37,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ay...

526
01:04:38,700 --> 01:04:43,260
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Pag tinatanong namin ng isang ahensya,

527
01:04:44,300 --> 01:04:45,380
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: sabihin natin, Dole,

528
01:04:46,260 --> 01:04:48,440
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: nakakasiguro ba kayo nang binigyan nyo

529
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ng...

530
01:04:51,700 --> 01:04:56,360
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: tulong ng programa ninyo o anumang ahensya

531
01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:59,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ang naging problema po ay

532
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: data privacy.

533
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:06,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Hindi po nagkaroon ng data sharing agreement.

534
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:12,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, nagkakaroon po ng problema na may binibigay na tulong,

535
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:17,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: yung validation process ang naging very challenging part.

536
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:22,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Kaya medyo mabagal ng konti yung kanyang implementation.

537
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: At yan po yung ina-address namin ngayon

538
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: para magkaroon ng...

539
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: data sharing agreement.

540
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:31,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Kasi mahirap nga naman kung...

541
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:32,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ah...

542
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:34,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: walang agreement, no?

543
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:35,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Na...

544
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:36,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ah...

545
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ng mga ahensya para masiguro na

546
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ang datos ay parehas.

547
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Ang susunod po ay...

548
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:43,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: itong pasihan,

549
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:45,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: yung napirmahan po ng

550
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:46,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: peace implementing panel

551
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:49,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: between the GPH and the MILF.

552
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:51,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, ang nakasaad po dito,

553
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:53,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: 100,000 po yung pesos yung...

554
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: yung cash na naibigay.

555
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:56,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: But the rest,

556
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ano po siya, ah...

557
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: regular program ng gobyerno.

558
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:02,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Ah...

559
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:04,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: PhilHealth,

560
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:05,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ah...

561
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:06,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: civil registration,

562
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:08,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: health insurance,

563

01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:12,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Pwede po naming ibigay.

566
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Pero pag tinitingnan po natin yung package dito,

567
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: medyo hindi responsive sa mga edad na...

568
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ng decommissioned combatants.

569
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, isa rin po sa naging hadlang ito, no?

570
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, karamihan dito,

571
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: eh, 46 and, ah...

572
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: basically, around 53 na siguro sila ngayon.

573
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Mahirap na pong ipatesta pa natin yun

574
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:36,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: hanggang 66 years old.

575
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:40,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, ang bulk ng mga combatants, eh medyo

576
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:43,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: hindi nagtutugma yung edad sa package.

577
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, marami pong tinitingnan natin

578
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:52,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: mga pwedeng gawin para po mapabilis yung, ah...

579
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:53,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: yung...

580
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: decommissioning, ah...

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: part ng, ah...

582
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:00,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ng usaping pangkapayapaan with the MILF.

583
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Ang naging hadlang naman po, eh,

584
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:07,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: pagupo ko, wala pong chairman sa

585
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: peace implementing panel representing the GPH.

586
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:14,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, nag-resign po yung chair

587
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:16,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: February of this year.

588
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:21,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: At ang sabi ng MILF, eh, suspend muna yung

589
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:22,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: kahit anong activity.

590
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:26,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Kahit anong activity sa normalization track.

591
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:27,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Natigil po yan.

592
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, nag-antay po tayo ng, ah...

593
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:31,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ma-appoint.

594
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:35,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Nag-assure po ako sa kanila na may ma-appoint na kapalit

595
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:41,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: para magpatuloy yung peace implementing panel

596
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: sa regular na meeting, regular na usapin.

597
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:45,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Ah...

598
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:50,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Kasi lahat ng gawain dito dapat bilateral, hindi unilateral.

599
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:51,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Ah...

600
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:55,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Nung July 15, finally po nagkaroon ng chair

601
01:07:55,640 --> 01:08:00,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ang peace implementing panel na ako rin ang na-appoint.

602
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:04,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, dalawa po yung hinawakan kong posisyon

603

613
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:36,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: given that, ah...

614
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:40,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: out of the seven items, five were approved.

615

618
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:49,640

619
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:51,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Ah...

620
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:54,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Hindi po namin ito nga, ah... naisa lang.

621
01:08:54,640 --> 01:09:01,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Muna kasi hindi kami sigurado kung papapayag ng adjustment yung, ah...

622
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:02,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: MILF.

637
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:03,640

638
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:09,640

01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:34,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Assuming that will be given to the combatants.

645
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:35,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: No?

646
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:39,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ah... and then tinitignan ko doon sa budget ninyo.

647
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:41,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ah... although your budget grew, no?

648
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: About 9 billion na siya ngayon.

649
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:44,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ah...

650
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,640

01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:54,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ah... 6 billion out of the 9 billion will go to the pamana program.

653
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And the pamana program, ah...

654
01:10:57,640 --> 01:10:59,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nakakalat to sa iba-ibang programa.

655
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:04,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sa, ah... educational assistance, housing, roads.

656
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:08,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Roads is about 3.7 billion na eh. No?

657
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:12,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: No? So, in other words, in... in short, from what I'm reading here,

658
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: yung ah... budget pupunta dito sa pamana program.

659
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:24,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yung pamana program is meant naman to, ah... sustain the peace efforts on the ground.

660
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:28,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Tama po ba? Ganyan ang direction ng pamana eh, no?

661
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:35,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ah... para nga may development, para may economic activity, ah... and ah...

662
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ma-sustain, no? In gains of peace.

663
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:40,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang kulang dito sa budget ninyo is for that decommissioning.

664
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Tama?

665
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:49,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Magkano ang naka-allocate for decommissioning in your 9 billion budget?

666
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:54,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Um... this is something that, ah...

667
01:11:54,640 --> 01:12:01,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: we, as of the moment, cannot really divulge, ah... the... the proposal

668
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:08,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: because it's a working process given that the approval on the part of the MILF, ah...

669
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:09,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ah...

670
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:16,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: then somewhat concurring to the proposal was last September 25.

671
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:23,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: If, ah... may... may... if the good chairperson will allow a 5-minute recess,

672
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:27,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: I can perhaps go... perhaps go there and brief you a little bit about it

673
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:32,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: so you'll have an idea of what, ah... the proposal is what's going to be.

674
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:35,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: We'll do that, ah... later on, ah... chairman.

675
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:39,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ah... so, I know there are some sensitivities in the, ah... process.

676
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:43,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: We'll... we'll, ah... have a short, ah... break later on.

677
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:46,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: But our proposal is going to be very doable, ah...

678
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:47,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Mr. Chair, we can assure you.

679
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,640

680
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:50,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Yes, this outside.

681
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:51,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ...decommissioning...

682
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:53,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Not for the decommissioning part.

683
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:54,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ah, this is the... within the decommissioning.

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Okay. Sige.

688
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:08,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Um... with that, ah... ang itutuloy ko naman ang next question ko is the education.

689
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:10,640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Is the educational assistance, no?

690
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:27,640

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Pero hinahanapan po natin, sinasabi natin sa mga nasa negosyong yan to consider.

1610
01:38:04,020 --> 01:38:07,400
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Nung inantay lang kasi nila yung maging resulta ng eleksyon.

1611
01:38:09,420 --> 01:38:12,160
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Hopefully, after mag-umpisa na po ang...

1612
01:38:12,160 --> 01:38:14,660
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Hopefully, ito ang de-resolved.

1613
01:38:15,240 --> 01:38:17,240
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: May mga interesado po. Maganda yun.

1614
01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:20,560
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Di rin madali magdibigyan pa po sa 5,000.

1615
01:38:20,980 --> 01:38:24,800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Especially, most of them are former rebels.

1616
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:26,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sa kampo mismo.

1617
01:38:26,140 --> 01:38:27,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Tama, sa kampo mismo.

1618
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:33,840
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Tapos may isa rin silang, I remember that they wanted, they were proposing parang bypass road

1619
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:38,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that would link Maguindanao to Sultan Kudarat na mapapabilis.

1620
01:38:39,720 --> 01:38:42,040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ito yung mga, Mr. President eh.

1621
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:50,740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ito yung mga infrastructure that I think will really open up and will really stimulate economic growth sa area.

1622
01:38:50,880 --> 01:38:54,200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yan ang talagang, alam ni SPN, talagang yan ang aking...

1623
01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:59,640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: That has been my advocacy, yung infra-development because it will stimulate economic growth.

1624
01:39:00,260 --> 01:39:05,860
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Can you find out na, Sekmel, or kung alam niyo yung details na wala sa isip ko kung sa Maguindanao yun,

1625
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:11,180
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: going to bypass, going through, alam ko sa mga plantation, going to Sultan Kudarat para mapaagana.

1626
01:39:11,180 --> 01:39:12,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Hindi na yung...

1627
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:13,740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Iikot pa na malayo, diretsyo na.

1628
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:21,380
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Actually, nagpapaschedule na po kami ng meeting sa DPWH, konsulta sa kanilang planning office.

1629
01:39:22,160 --> 01:39:30,440
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Tama po yung sinabi nyo at kasama din po dyan ang pag-connect ng, yung Iranun Development Corridor,

1630
01:39:30,780 --> 01:39:33,080
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ang tawag din lang yung Iranun Development Council,

1631
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:39,160
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: nasa sa ligang batas naman natin, nasa local code at in-adapt ng Bangsamoro Local Code,

1632
01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:41,180
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: yung inter-local collaboration.

1633
01:39:42,160 --> 01:39:48,100
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, nag-isa-isa, naging inspirasyon po yung Iranun Development Council.

1634
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:51,640
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Ngayon, may SUDC, ito naman yung sa Butig.

1635
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:53,920
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Limang bayan naman sila.

1636
01:39:54,800 --> 01:40:00,840
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Tapos, yung dito sa Maguindanao, sa Datupi, sama rin sila.

1637
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:06,900
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, may proposal, tama po yung sinabi ni Chairperson, Your Honor, tama po yung sinabi nyo.

1638
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:09,900
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: At yung kalsada from...

1639
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:16,460
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Parang, papuntang Diretso ng Marawi.

1640
01:40:17,300 --> 01:40:21,000
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Malaki pong epekto noon ng infrastrukturang yun.

1641
01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:26,480
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: In fact, pag nangyari po ito, ang parang magiging city po ito.

1642
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:31,460
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Pero hindi nga lang pwedeng tawagin parang city, parang ang sama ng dating eh.

1643
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:33,340
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Parang city. City o parang.

1644
01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:38,320
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, kasi parang, pag sinabi mong parang city, mukhang walang maniniwala eh.

1645
01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:41,620
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: So, ang biroan namin ni Mayor Iba eh.

1646
01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:42,860
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: City o parang.

1647
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:46,400
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Kasi, ang laki ng portuna, tama po yun.

1648
01:40:46,900 --> 01:40:48,540
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: At Diretso ng Marawi yan.

1649
01:40:48,540 --> 01:40:50,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Please let us know, so that we can...

1650
01:40:51,380 --> 01:40:55,480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ano natin yun eh, kailangan natin mag-accelerate ng spending.

1651
01:40:55,780 --> 01:41:01,040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kasi, after the flood control scandal, medyo bumagal.

1652
01:41:01,140 --> 01:41:02,520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, we need to accelerate spending.

1653
01:41:02,660 --> 01:41:11,960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But we need to pinpoint projects that will be contributory to nation building.

1654
01:41:12,160 --> 01:41:14,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Tulad po nito, hindi yung...

1655
01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:15,660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sorry po ha, may mga project kasi.

1656
01:41:15,780 --> 01:41:17,300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Parang pin-project lang, para alam nyo na.

1657
01:41:17,460 --> 01:41:17,940
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Hindi ko na alam.

1658
01:41:18,020 --> 01:41:19,440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ayoko nang mag-go into details.

1659
01:41:19,540 --> 01:41:22,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But these are the projects that contribute to nation building.

1660
01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:24,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ito yung mga talagang sinusulong, tinutulak natin eh.

1661
01:41:25,460 --> 01:41:25,880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Di ba na?

1662
01:41:26,220 --> 01:41:27,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: May returns to.

1663
01:41:27,700 --> 01:41:28,640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ito yung may balik eh.

1664
01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:31,320
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kaya kung even if it will cost some...

1665
01:41:31,320 --> 01:41:32,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Of course, it will cost.

1666
01:41:32,580 --> 01:41:38,640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But I think that by being able to open a gateway,

1667
01:41:39,220 --> 01:41:41,700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: going to BAM, a conflict area,

1668
01:41:41,700 --> 01:41:44,760
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: that will create growth areas that will provide opportunities.

1669
01:41:45,020 --> 01:41:46,600
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yan ang mga kailangan natin pagtulungan.

1670
01:41:47,100 --> 01:41:49,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, probably, you can...

1671
01:41:49,580 --> 01:41:52,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro, yung part of your PAMAAN na projects,

1672
01:41:52,180 --> 01:41:54,740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung sa IINPA, baka tignan nyo kung pwede natin pagtulungan dyan.

1673
01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:57,040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We can also mint, if necessary.

1674
01:41:57,680 --> 01:42:00,200
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: After our meeting, Your Honor, we'll brief you about it.

1675
01:42:00,440 --> 01:42:01,560
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: I'll visit your office, Your Honor.

1676
01:42:01,820 --> 01:42:02,080
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Thank you.

1677
01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:03,420
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Likewise, yung ano po ron.

1678
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:07,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Napunta ko, Mr. Chair President, yung mga moski doon, magaganda.

1679
01:42:07,660 --> 01:42:07,840
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Di ba?

1680
01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:11,260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Napunta ako yung Pink Mosque and the others.

1681
01:42:11,460 --> 01:42:11,680
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung...

1682
01:42:11,700 --> 01:42:13,120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Grand Mosque, no?

1683
01:42:13,680 --> 01:42:15,180
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pa-picture nga ako sa harap nun, eh.

1684
01:42:15,680 --> 01:42:17,260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pero medyo kailangan na nila.

1685
01:42:17,380 --> 01:42:19,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: They're requesting for rehabilitation.

1686
01:42:20,140 --> 01:42:22,480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And we will help doon sa Pink Mosque, no?

1687
01:42:22,740 --> 01:42:23,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pintura lang yun, eh.

1688
01:42:24,140 --> 01:42:30,660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And unting ano, I think it will be a good tourism destination, no?

1689
01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:33,260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: It's very unique, no?

1690
01:42:33,340 --> 01:42:35,400
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung Pink Mosque, sa nga ba yun?

1691
01:42:36,060 --> 01:42:36,920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Magiging danaw din yun, eh.

1692
01:42:37,760 --> 01:42:39,660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Mamaya, alam ko yung number niya, ano eh.

1693
01:42:40,020 --> 01:42:41,520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Alam ko saan si Mayor humihingi.

1694
01:42:41,700 --> 01:42:42,840
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ano, para mabuhay yun.

1695
01:42:43,320 --> 01:42:45,040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, these are the things that I noticed, no?

1696
01:42:45,040 --> 01:42:47,460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: When I had the chance to visit Barmen.

1697
01:42:47,580 --> 01:42:49,400
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I would like to...

1698
01:42:49,400 --> 01:42:54,660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kami, Mr. Chair President, or authors of the Bangsa Mo Organic Law,

1699
01:42:54,720 --> 01:42:55,460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we want this to work.

1700
01:42:55,580 --> 01:42:57,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sabi ko nga, kailangan natin dito follow-up ng development.

1701
01:42:57,960 --> 01:42:59,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Hindi pwedeng...

1702
01:42:59,380 --> 01:43:00,800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Hindi naman makakain yung batas, eh.

1703
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:02,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Of course, it gave us time.

1704
01:43:02,620 --> 01:43:02,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Di ba?

1705
01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:04,040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: May peace tayo, pero...

1706
01:43:04,920 --> 01:43:08,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pag hindi natin na-follow-up yan ng trabaho, tanap buhay,

1707
01:43:09,020 --> 01:43:11,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: eh, madali na naman manghikayat yan.

1708
01:43:11,700 --> 01:43:16,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pag gutom yan, madali manghikayat sa kaguluhan yan.

1709
01:43:16,340 --> 01:43:17,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Di ba? Ganyan naman nangyari noon, eh.

1710
01:43:18,080 --> 01:43:21,700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pero pag may trabaho, tanap buhay, hindi na yan mag-aarbas ulit.

1711
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:23,700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, that's why I'm hoping itong...

1712
01:43:24,540 --> 01:43:25,340
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Please, ano, yung...

1713
01:43:25,340 --> 01:43:29,920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Please check on that bypass road that I mentioned yun.

1714
01:43:29,980 --> 01:43:30,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sa may...

1715
01:43:30,540 --> 01:43:35,780
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Open Maguindanao to Sultan Kudarat, sa BARMM area.

1716
01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:38,480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And, di ba, in tourism, no?

1717
01:43:38,580 --> 01:43:40,880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung sa Pink Mosque.

1718
01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:41,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Mura lang.

1719
01:43:41,380 --> 01:43:41,960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: 9.2, no?

1720
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:42,660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: 5 million, no?

1721
01:43:42,660 --> 01:43:44,400
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Baka pwede pa-sponsor na natin yun.

1722
01:43:44,940 --> 01:43:45,340
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pink.

1723
01:43:46,600 --> 01:43:48,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And among others, no?

1724
01:43:48,220 --> 01:43:50,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung mga na-pick up natin doon.

1725
01:43:50,340 --> 01:43:52,200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, that's...

1726
01:43:52,200 --> 01:43:53,320
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: These are the...

1727
01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:55,960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: These, I don't mind spending for infrastructure

1728
01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:57,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: because these are really...

1729
01:43:57,580 --> 01:43:59,040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: These will stimulate economic growth.

1730
01:43:59,140 --> 01:43:59,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kaya na siguro,

1731
01:44:00,460 --> 01:44:02,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sekmel, ang ano ko, inaando ko dito,

1732
01:44:02,260 --> 01:44:03,280
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: lalo yung Mindanao Railway,

1733
01:44:03,340 --> 01:44:05,200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I think this will create growth areas.

1734
01:44:05,900 --> 01:44:07,560
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: You create commercial areas,

1735
01:44:07,760 --> 01:44:09,420
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: industrial parks, no?

1736
01:44:09,500 --> 01:44:11,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sa bawat dadaanan.

1737
01:44:11,380 --> 01:44:12,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ng railway.

1738
01:44:12,700 --> 01:44:14,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Magkaka-commercial,

1739
01:44:14,300 --> 01:44:15,140
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: magkaka-industrial parks,

1740
01:44:15,220 --> 01:44:16,300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: magkaka-food terminals.

1741
01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:17,120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Di ba?

1742
01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:19,360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, we create growth areas,

1743
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:22,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we create jobs and opportunities in the future.

1744
01:44:22,340 --> 01:44:23,600
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yan naman na lagi ko sinasabi.

1745
01:44:24,480 --> 01:44:27,140
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ay, hindi tayo naniniwala

1746
01:44:27,140 --> 01:44:29,280
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na mabubuhay tayo sa ayuda,

1747
01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:30,240
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: buong buhay natin.

1748
01:44:30,340 --> 01:44:31,300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: This is not sustainable.

1749
01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:34,300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Dapat to, pansamantala lang.

1750
01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:36,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: What we have to work on is

1751
01:44:36,220 --> 01:44:38,480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: jobs and opportunities in the future.

1752
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:39,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And these are, ano,

1753
01:44:39,380 --> 01:44:40,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung mga nation-building infrastructure.

1754
01:44:41,380 --> 01:44:42,900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sana, yan ang ati-push.

1755
01:44:43,500 --> 01:44:45,580
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: May pag-asa na po yun, Your Honor,

1756
01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:48,340
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: kasi yung na-mention mo kanina

1757
01:44:48,340 --> 01:44:51,320
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: sa Eastern Seaboard ng Mindanao,

1758
01:44:52,220 --> 01:44:52,980
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: yung Karaga,

1759
01:44:54,100 --> 01:44:54,900
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: ang maganda po noon,

1760
01:44:55,020 --> 01:44:57,240
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: nagkaisal po lahat ng gobernador doon.

1761
01:44:58,500 --> 01:45:00,040
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: At ngayon, ang laki po ng improvement...

1762
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:16,820
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Sa peace and order sa riyon na iyon. As we all know, the provincial governor, sila po yung chairperson ng peace and order council. Inaagampanan talaga po nilang kanilang obligasyon, ang kanilang papel bilang chairperson ng peace and order council.

1763
01:45:16,820 --> 01:45:30,680
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Nagsama-sama po yung lahat ng gobernador sa Karaga at ganoon din po ang nangyari sa Dabao region. So malaki na pong improvement sa kapayapaan sa Mindanao. Hindi lang po sa BARMM kundi sa kabuuang Mindanao.

1764
01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:42,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro Sekmel, yung nabanggit ko sa Dato, Saudi, ang patuan, doon yung pink moss, 5 million lang, baka pwede nyo naisama sa community infrastructure, 317, 5 million lang, 10 million pa.

1765
01:45:42,740 --> 01:45:46,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Baka may mag-sponsor pang paint ng napakaraming pink na paint.

1766
01:45:46,060 --> 01:46:02,600
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Baka libre pa kayo. Pero I think it's worth developing itong mga ito. Sige, pagtulungan nyo natin lalo yung infrastructure. Especially the infrastructure needs of the farm area. Gusto natin mabuhay doon eh. Gusto natin magkaroon ng livelihood.

1767
01:46:04,340 --> 01:46:10,440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Again, after the Bangsamoro Organic Law, kailangan natin i-follow up talaga ng livelihood yan, ng kabuhayan.

1768
01:46:11,380 --> 01:46:15,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay, ang ano lang siguro sa budget, as chairman of finance.

1769
01:46:16,060 --> 01:46:29,640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Originally OPAPRU proposed an amount of 13.443 billion, but the NEP approved budget for OPAPRU is only 9.305 billion for 2027, a 14.4% bump.

1770
01:46:29,940 --> 01:46:41,960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yet, as of mid-2026, OPAPRO has disbursed only 21.7% of its total allotments and obligated only 39.1% of its funds. If an increase of funds is still needed,

1771
01:46:42,780 --> 01:46:45,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ang siyempre, tanong lang natin, why should the Senate approve an increase when over?

1772
01:46:46,060 --> 01:46:57,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: 3.35 billion in allotments are unobligated and over 2.53 billion unpaid obligations piled up in the first half of 2026 alonance.

1773
01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:05,720
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro, anong update na lang, anong status ngayon ng inyong obligation rate at inyong inyong disbursements?

1774
01:47:07,480 --> 01:47:10,020
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Your Honors.

1775
01:47:10,860 --> 01:47:14,940
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: Based on our records for the fiscal year 2026 regular fund,

1776
01:47:14,940 --> 01:47:24,060
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: we are allotted 8.1 billion and we obligate 6.4 billion.

1777
01:47:25,020 --> 01:47:31,500
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: That represents 73.56 obligation rate, Your Honors.

1778
01:47:32,380 --> 01:47:41,940
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: We have also continuing fund of 208 million and the obligation amounts to 126 million.

1779
01:47:43,520 --> 01:47:44,920
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: Our obligation rate

1780
01:47:44,940 --> 01:47:48,280
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: is 60.82%

1781
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:48,920
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: I mean

1782
01:47:48,920 --> 01:47:51,040
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: with a grand total

1783
01:47:51,040 --> 01:47:52,720
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: of balance

1784
01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:54,360
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: of 2.2

1785
01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:55,900
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: billion

1786
01:47:55,900 --> 01:47:59,140
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: and the percentage of obligation

1787
01:47:59,140 --> 01:48:00,100
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: your honors

1788
01:48:00,100 --> 01:48:03,440
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: is 73.24%

1789
01:48:03,440 --> 01:48:06,560
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: for fiscal year 2026

1790
01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:09,040
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: the bulk of the remaining

1791
01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:10,880
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: balance is for the Pamana projects

1792
01:48:10,880 --> 01:48:12,960
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: the ongoing po kasi yung mga projects na yun

1793
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:15,460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so by the end of the year you expect

1794
01:48:15,460 --> 01:48:17,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the disbursements

1795
01:48:17,100 --> 01:48:17,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: yung

1796
01:48:17,820 --> 01:48:21,200
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: ending namin ng third quarter

1797
01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:22,520
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: your honor

1798
01:48:22,520 --> 01:48:25,300
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: very satisfactory po ang rating namin

1799
01:48:25,300 --> 01:48:27,300
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: napabilis na po natin

1800
01:48:27,300 --> 01:48:31,260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: just a question

1801
01:48:31,260 --> 01:48:33,040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: also because of the fiscal

1802
01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:35,400
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: low fiscal space this year

1803
01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:36,260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: but

1804
01:48:36,260 --> 01:48:39,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa 13.43 billion

1805
01:48:39,540 --> 01:48:40,740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: proposed by the budget of

1806
01:48:40,740 --> 01:48:42,460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: 9 billion

1807
01:48:42,460 --> 01:48:45,100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so what are the priority programs that will be affected

1808
01:48:45,100 --> 01:48:46,320
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa tingin nyo

1809
01:48:46,320 --> 01:48:48,480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: or is 9 billion enough already for you

1810
01:48:48,480 --> 01:48:50,940
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: pero that's an increase already from last year

1811
01:48:50,940 --> 01:48:52,660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kahit pa pano kahit yung 9 billion

1812
01:48:52,660 --> 01:48:54,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kasi ano eh pasensya na po

1813
01:48:54,820 --> 01:48:56,840
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: almost all the departments are

1814
01:48:56,840 --> 01:48:58,840
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: seeking higher

1815
01:48:58,840 --> 01:49:00,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: budget for this year

1816
01:49:00,980 --> 01:49:02,760
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kaya lang because of our very very low

1817
01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:04,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: fiscal space

1818
01:49:04,380 --> 01:49:07,140
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: limit yung elbow room natin

1819
01:49:07,140 --> 01:49:09,000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so is 9 billion enough for you

1820
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:10,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: anyway may increase din yun

1821
01:49:10,220 --> 01:49:12,360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sa pamana nyo from 5 billion

1822
01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:14,440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: last year we have 6 billion for 2027

1823
01:49:14,440 --> 01:49:15,840
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ah 5 billion this year

1824
01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:18,320
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: magsi 6 billion tayo for next year

1825
01:49:18,320 --> 01:49:20,580
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: your honor this is what I'm going

1826
01:49:20,580 --> 01:49:22,420
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: to discuss with you

1827
01:49:22,420 --> 01:49:23,100
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: after the

1828
01:49:23,100 --> 01:49:25,960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, kita ko lang dito

1829
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:27,540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in my notes

1830
01:49:27,540 --> 01:49:30,000
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: yung normalization program

1831
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:32,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: for 2026 is 918

1832
01:49:32,660 --> 01:49:33,180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: million

1833
01:49:33,180 --> 01:49:36,460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: so of course

1834
01:49:36,460 --> 01:49:38,660
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: far cry from the 14 billion

1835
01:49:38,660 --> 01:49:40,240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: na kailangan

1836
01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:42,200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'm putting emphasis on

1837
01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:43,740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the normalization because

1838
01:49:43,740 --> 01:49:45,540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: una una that's part of the deal

1839
01:49:45,540 --> 01:49:48,020
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and then pangalawa

1840
01:49:48,020 --> 01:49:50,340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: that's also part of the

1841
01:49:50,340 --> 01:49:52,340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: sustaining the peace

1842
01:49:52,340 --> 01:49:52,940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: efforts

1843
01:49:52,940 --> 01:49:55,320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ang ayaw kasi natin is

1844
01:49:55,320 --> 01:49:57,320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: after doing all of this

1845
01:49:57,320 --> 01:50:00,100
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nagkaroon tayo ng signing ng batas

1846
01:50:00,100 --> 01:50:01,700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: tapos babalik tayo sa dati

1847
01:50:01,700 --> 01:50:04,060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mukha naman hindi because the election

1848
01:50:04,060 --> 01:50:06,200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: for me is a sign that

1849
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:07,940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: people are yearning for

1850
01:50:07,940 --> 01:50:10,380
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: peace and stability

1851
01:50:10,380 --> 01:50:12,340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: but we need to sustain it

1852
01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:14,460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: especially those agreements

1853
01:50:14,460 --> 01:50:15,680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: that we entered into

1854
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:16,800
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: so

1855
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:20,040
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: dito sa

1856
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:23,080
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 2016

1857
01:50:23,080 --> 01:50:24,760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: is 918

1858
01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:27,060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ang normalization

1859
01:50:27,060 --> 01:50:28,700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ah

1860
01:50:28,700 --> 01:50:33,960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 2026 pala

1861
01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:35,320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 918

1862
01:50:35,320 --> 01:50:37,280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and then for 2027

1863
01:50:37,280 --> 01:50:39,280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: walang amounts

1864
01:50:39,280 --> 01:50:41,820
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: for normalization

1865
01:50:41,820 --> 01:50:42,340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: tama ba?

1866
01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:44,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yusef Wilben?

1867
01:50:44,360 --> 01:50:45,360
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: ah for

1868
01:50:45,360 --> 01:50:47,360
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: Mr. Chair your honor

1869
01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:49,360
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: for 2027 that's

1870
01:50:49,360 --> 01:50:52,360
OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor: for normalization is 1.3 billion

1871
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:54,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: sorry 1.3 hindi ko pala nakita

1872
01:50:54,360 --> 01:50:56,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 1.3 ang nag increase

1873
01:50:56,360 --> 01:50:58,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: but again far cry from

1874
01:50:58,360 --> 01:51:00,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: that 14 billion that we are

1875
01:51:00,360 --> 01:51:02,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: requesting

1876
01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:04,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman with your permission

1877
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:06,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I think si Secretary Mel wants to

1878
01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:08,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: have a 5 minute

1879
01:51:08,360 --> 01:51:10,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ah

1880
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:11,560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: conversation with us

1881
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:12,260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: um

1882
01:51:12,360 --> 01:51:14,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: if you allow Mr. Chairman

1883
01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:15,360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: so we can suspend

1884
01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:16,360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: sure we'll ah

1885
01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:17,360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: session is ah

1886
01:51:17,360 --> 01:51:20,360
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Hearing is suspended.

1887
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:29,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Resumed. Just a question also, dito sa educational assistance program: what challenges or dilemmas caused the delay in the release of the 850 million for educational assistance? And can you realistically obligate and disburse the remaining 45% of its 2026 program before the year end?

1888
02:02:44,500 --> 02:02:59,980
OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento: Yes, we can. We have a very good relationship except for one university who recently had a new president, but they were able to submit their liquidation, and we are very confident that we can do it, Mr. Chair.

1889
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:29,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay, by the year end, no? That is, I think, one of the advocacies of our Senate President. He was very much concerned with the educational assistance, the educational program sa area. Just like to ask about the unliquidated fund transfers, about 9.9 billion according to COA findings. Implementing agency partners of OPAPRU, under the COA

1890
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:59,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: audit report, OPAPRU has 9.936 billion in unliquidated fund transfers to implementing agencies, some dating back as far as 21 years. Worse, the agency issued 43 checks totaling 1.45 billion in new transfers to agencies that had not liquidated prior funds. Anong aksyon o hakbang na nagawa ng OPAPRU sa issue na ito? Magkano na out of the 9.936 billion ang na-recover o na-liquidate ngayong taon? Baka lang po ito matanong kasi sa plenary, no?

1891
02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:03,300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We are asking already some questions now that

1892
02:04:03,300 --> 02:04:04,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: so it will

1893
02:04:04,220 --> 02:04:08,020
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: make the agency ready

1894
02:04:08,020 --> 02:04:10,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: for plenary debates and discussion.

1895
