Sa budget hearing na ito, simple ang prinsipyo natin. Kapag may pamilyang nagugutom, nawawala ng trabaho o kabuhayan, nakakasakit o tinatamaan ng sakuna, dapat may gobyernong sasalo. I’m fully aware that the House-approved GAAB provides P262.757 billion in new appropriations for DSWD, higher than the NEP, although still below the 2026 GAA program level. **[00:11:07.500] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000023) We take note of the adjustments made by our colleagues in the House of Representatives. AICS increases to about 58.1 billion pesos. The Quick Response Fund is restored to 3 billion pesos. The Sustainable Livelihood Program increases to almost 6 billion pesos. But more money must mean better social protection. **[00:11:31.440] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000024) Una, we must protect 4Ps as a rights-based investment in poor families and their children. If families graduate from 4Ps, graduation must mean more than losing a grant. They should have a real pathway to education, skills, employment, livelihood, and continued access to basic services. Hindi graduation ang mawalan ng benepisyo. **[00:11:57.100] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000025) Pangalawa, we must protect our senior citizens. **[00:12:00.000] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000026) The social pension remains a lifeline for millions of indigent seniors, yet many qualified senior citizens remain on the waiting or remain waiting for assistance. **[00:12:12.300] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000027) At 1,000 pesos a month, we must also keep asking whether the benefit remains adequate given the rising cost of food, medicine, and transportation. **[00:12:22.700] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000028) Pangatlo, AICs must remain a genuine social safety net. **[00:12:27.680] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000029) Ang tulong ay hindi pabor. **[00:12:31.040] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000030) Dapat nakabatay sa pangangailangan, hindi sa kung sino ang kakilala o kung sino ang nag-refer. **[00:12:37.920] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000031) We need stronger controls against duplicate payments, but digitization must not exclude people without bank accounts, without a phone, with poor connectivity, or with incomplete records. **[00:12:53.420] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000032) Pang-apat, we must also prepare for the Super El Niño and other climate shocks. **[00:12:57.680] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000033) The restoration of the QRF is important, but DSWD must be ready before families reach a crisis point with food assistance, emergency cash, cash for work, livelihood support, and coordination with LGUs. **[00:13:15.340] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000034) At the same time, we recognize DSWD's investment in disaster response and rehabilitation programs, such as Project Lawa at Binhi, **[00:13:26.160] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000035) as well as its investment in longer-term climate resilience through the Philippine Community Resilience Project or Panahon ng Pagkilos. **[00:13:35.780] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000036) Emergency response and long-term resilience must work together, **[00:13:40.620] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000037) helping communities survive today's shocks while reducing their vulnerability to future disasters. **[00:13:47.160] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000038) We also welcome the allocation of resources to support vulnerable groups **[00:13:51.940] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000039) through Enhanced Protect Teen, Project Aruga, Project SAFE, **[00:13:57.680] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000040) and the Special Committee on LGBTQIA Plus Affairs, **[00:14:01.720] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000041) programs and initiatives that support adolescent mothers and their families, **[00:14:07.160] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000042) children with disabilities and their caregivers, **[00:14:10.140] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000043) child survivors of online sexual abuse and exploitation, **[00:14:14.340] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000044) and LGBTQIA Plus communities. **[00:14:17.500] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000045) These initiatives remind us that social protection must be inclusive, **[00:14:21.940] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000046) and reach those who are often invisible and whose needs are overlooked in major budget allocations. **[00:14:29.320] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000047) The test of this budget is not simply how DSWD obligates. **[00:14:35.080] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000048) An obligation is not yet food on the table. **[00:14:38.140] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000049) It is not yet medicine bought. **[00:14:40.060] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000050) It is not yet a pension received. **[00:14:42.600] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000051) It is not yet a livelihood restored. **[00:14:45.200] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000052) It is not yet relief reaching a family in crisis. **[00:14:50.280] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000053) Ang tunay na sukatin, **[00:14:52.240] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000054) ay simple. **[00:14:54.180] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000055) Did government reach people before they reached the breaking point and help them? **[00:15:00.000] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000056) become more resilient afterward. **[00:15:03.380] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000057) At bilang budget sponsor, **[00:15:04.760] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000058) kinikilala ko ang pangangailangan **[00:15:06.380] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000059) para sa **[00:15:14.500] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000060) tulad ng social insurance **[00:15:17.060] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000061) at social security. **[00:15:18.560] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000062) At para sa akin, **[00:15:20.640] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000063) tatlo lang ang mahalaga nating bantayan. **[00:15:24.040] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000064) Napapanahon **[00:15:24.840] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000065) o tugma ba sa krisis? **[00:15:27.440] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000066) Tama o nakararating ba **[00:15:29.200] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000067) sa tamang tao **[00:15:30.540] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000068) sa tamang panahon? **[00:15:32.500] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000069) At sapat ba **[00:15:34.000] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000070) o enough ba ang ayuda **[00:15:36.100] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000071) para talagang makatulong? **[00:15:39.000] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000072) With these considerations, **[00:15:40.920] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000073) I invite everyone to listen **[00:15:42.520] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000074) to the budget presentation of DSWD **[00:15:45.300] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000075) and its attached and supervised **[00:15:46.940] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000076) agencies as well as those **[00:15:48.760] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000077) of the other executive offices, **[00:15:51.000] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000078) the National Anti-Poverty Commission **[00:15:52.480] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000079) and the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor. **[00:15:56.220] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000080) After **[00:15:56.980] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000081) the **[00:15:57.980] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000082) presentation of the department and agencies and the questions of the senators, I also invite **[00:16:05.860] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000083) representatives from civil society **[00:16:07.900] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000084) and people's organizations **[00:16:09.260] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000085) to prepare their questions **[00:16:11.040] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000086) and propose amendments for the agencies **[00:16:13.640] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000087) leading up to the plenary. **[00:16:15.120] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000088) Kung magkaroon ng sapat na panahon **[00:16:17.120] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000089) pagkatapos, ay bibigyan ko **[00:16:19.380] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000090) ng tigi-ilang minuto rin **[00:16:21.300] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000091) ang mga civil society **[00:16:22.900] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000092) representatives natin makapagsalita. **[00:16:25.940] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000093) Together, let us ensure **[00:16:27.360] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000094) that **[00:16:27.980] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000095) The 2027 budget is a meaningful **[00:16:30.200] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000096) step toward transformative **[00:16:32.420] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000097) social protection. **[00:16:34.320] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000098) Maraming salamat.

Tulfo** (asr-000123) by Secretary Rex Gatchalian. **[00:17:26.880] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000124) I fully and firmly **[00:17:27.980] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000125) support the DSWD **[00:17:29.980] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000126) budget. We recognize **[00:17:32.060] Senator Raffy T.

Tulfo** (asr-000147) allow me to bring forth this budget **[00:18:13.960] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000148) hearing a very crucial and pressing issue. **[00:18:16.520] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000149) The fake PWD **[00:18:18.380] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000150) IDs. **[00:18:20.180] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000151) Ang talamak na pagkalat **[00:18:21.760] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000152) ng mga faking PWD IDs na **[00:18:23.700] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000153) ginagamit upang manloko ng kapwa tao at **[00:18:26.080] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000154) sa gobyerno, higit sa lahat. **[00:18:27.820] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000155) Ito ay isang modus **[00:18:29.940] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000156) kung saan ang pinakakawawa **[00:18:31.840] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000157) ay ang mga liitimong may kapansanan **[00:18:33.860] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000158) na dapat sila makinabang sa diskwentong **[00:18:36.000] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000159) 20%. **[00:18:37.100] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000160) These are the current and very alarming **[00:18:39.880] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000161) facts. Out of **[00:18:41.880] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000162) 8 million IDs **[00:18:43.720] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000163) issued, **[00:18:45.920] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000164) 6 million are fake **[00:18:47.380] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000165) PWD IDs based **[00:18:49.820] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000166) on DOJ report. **[00:18:52.460] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000167) Only 2 million IDs **[00:18:53.940] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000168) are legitimate and **[00:18:55.780] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000169) registered with the NCDA. **[00:18:57.820] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000170) This modus has resulted **[00:19:00.340] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000171) to 88 billion pesos **[00:19:02.920] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000172) in lost tax revenues **[00:19:04.480] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000173) for the government. **[00:19:06.600] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000174) And this translates to **[00:19:07.920] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000175) 166 billion losses **[00:19:09.640] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000176) in revenues for business establishments **[00:19:12.160] Senator Raffy T. Tulfo** (asr-000177) especially for restaurants. **[00:19:15.040] Senator Raffy T.

(asr-000580) Beyond budget utilization, we measure 4Ps by its results and ensure that our programs are guided by evidence. **[00:35:30.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000581) From 2022 to July 2026, 1.77 million households graduated to self-sufficiency, 7.24 million children completed primary and secondary education, and 78,886 beneficiaries passed licensure examinations, **[00:35:49.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000582) including 259 top-notchers. **[00:35:53.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000583) Under the F1KD First 1,000 Days grant, 83.9% of pregnant beneficiaries nationwide completed the required prenatal visits. **[00:36:03.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000584) These results are reinforced by independent studies. **[00:36:06.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000585) The World Bank's 2026 study attributed a 2.2% point reduction in national poverty to 4Ps and estimated a 4.4 cost-benefit ratio. **[00:36:17.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000586) The Brain Trust Study also recognizes the program's educational impact. **[00:36:22.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000587) in its reach among poor households. **[00:36:24.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000588) These findings strengthen our commitment to evidence-informed policymaking, continuous program improvement, and ensuring that the public resources deliver measurable results for Filipino families. **[00:36:36.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000589) Under protective services, AICS remains our primary program for individuals and families in crisis, complemented by community-based services for vulnerable sectors. **[00:36:44.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000590) In 2025, we utilize 100% of the budget, assisting over 9.4 million beneficiaries. **[00:36:51.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000591) For 2026, **[00:36:52.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000592) utilization has reached almost 92%, **[00:36:54.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000593) serving 6.7 million beneficiaries to date. **[00:36:58.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000594) Under the President's Uplift Directive, **[00:37:00.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000595) we have also assisted 5.8 million beneficiaries **[00:37:03.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000596) as of October 14. **[00:37:05.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000597) For 2027, the 33.3 billion, **[00:37:08.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000598) including 29.4 billion for subsidies, **[00:37:11.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000599) will help individuals and families in crisis **[00:37:13.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000600) meet urgent needs, **[00:37:15.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000601) access essential services, **[00:37:16.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000602) and recover from financial and personal hardships. **[00:37:19.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000603) However, additional resources **[00:37:21.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000604) may be needed to keep pace **[00:37:22.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000605) with the growing demand **[00:37:23.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000606) and sustain these outcomes. **[00:37:25.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000607) Your Honors, **[00:37:25.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000608) AICS is evolving into an instrument **[00:37:27.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000609) for adaptive and shock-responsive social protection. **[00:37:31.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000610) Under the President's Uplift Initiative, **[00:37:33.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000611) we provided 5,000 cash assistance **[00:37:35.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000612) to 1.839 million transport workers. **[00:37:40.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000613) A rapid SWS assessment **[00:37:43.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000614) found that 96% considered the grant crucial **[00:37:47.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000615) to keeping them on the road, **[00:37:48.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000616) while 80% use it for food, **[00:37:51.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000617) while we also provided top-up support **[00:37:53.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000618) for existing beneficiaries **[00:37:55.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000619) and extended aid to vulnerable households **[00:37:57.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000620) identified through CBMS data. **[00:37:59.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000621) This demonstrates how AICS can scale up support **[00:38:02.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000622) and reach families vulnerable to economic shocks **[00:38:05.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000623) when they need it the most. **[00:38:06.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000624) Another key investment is the social protection pension **[00:38:09.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000625) for indigent senior citizens, **[00:38:12.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000626) providing vital income support to our older persons. **[00:38:16.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000627) In 2025, we serve 4.11 million beneficiaries. **[00:38:19.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000628) For 2026, **[00:38:21.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000629) utilization is at 88% **[00:38:23.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000630) as we enroll new beneficiaries **[00:38:24.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000631) with 51 billion available to expand coverage. **[00:38:27.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000632) For 2027, **[00:38:29.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000633) the 51.6 billion budget allots 50 billion for subsidies. **[00:38:34.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000634) We would like to flag that based on CBMS data, **[00:38:37.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000635) at least 550,000 older seniors, **[00:38:41.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000636) older persons remain unserved **[00:38:43.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000637) and we hope to extend social pension **[00:38:45.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000638) to these senior citizens. **[00:38:46.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000639) For social pension, **[00:38:47.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000640) we are making implementation simpler, **[00:38:49.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000641) fairer, and more responsive, **[00:38:50.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000642) in support of the progressive realization **[00:38:53.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000643) of universal social pension. **[00:38:55.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000644) First, we removed the requirement **[00:38:57.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000645) to provide frailty or sickliness eligibility. **[00:39:02.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000646) Eligibility is now based on age, **[00:39:04.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000647) with enrollment prioritized by age. **[00:39:07.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000648) Second, we shifted to data-driven targeting **[00:39:10.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000649) using CBMS data, **[00:39:11.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000650) cross-checked with SSS, GSIS, and PVOW, **[00:39:15.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000651) to ensure applicants are not active pensioners. **[00:39:18.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000652) To reach those who may be missed **[00:39:20.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000653) by the field **[00:39:20.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000654) or those who may not be included in the program, **[00:39:23.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000655) we also allowed applications **[00:39:25.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000656) and LGU referrals for persons aged 70 and above, **[00:39:29.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000657) subject to validation with DSA registry data. **[00:39:33.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000658) Finally, we are advancing the silver economy across ASEAN, **[00:39:37.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000659) recognizing older persons **[00:39:38.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000660) not only as beneficiaries to social protection, **[00:39:41.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000661) but also as contributors to communities and the economy. **[00:39:44.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000662) The supplementary feeding program provides support, **[00:39:47.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000663) supports the nutrition needs of children **[00:39:48.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000664) in child development centers, **[00:39:50.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000665) and supervised neighborhood place. **[00:39:52.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000666) For 2027, the 6.4 billion budget **[00:39:55.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000667) will provide supplementary meals to 1.899 million children, **[00:39:59.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000668) sustaining coverage at the first fiscal year 2026 target. **[00:40:03.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000669) The lower allocation reflects a shorter feeding period **[00:40:07.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000670) of 120 days compared with 180 days in 2026, **[00:40:11.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000671) not a reduction of children served. **[00:40:14.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000672) Social protection must create pathways to self-reliance. **[00:40:18.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000673) Through the Sustainable Livelihood program, **[00:40:19.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000674) we help families in rural areas, **[00:40:20.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000675) families generate income and achieve economic independence. **[00:40:23.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000676) In 2025, SLP assisted 275,478 households exceeding its target **[00:40:29.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000677) with 100% of its 6.2 allocation obligated as of September 2026. **[00:40:37.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000678) 238,233 households have been assisted. **[00:40:40.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000679) For 2027, the 5.1 billion budget will support 251,449 households **[00:40:47.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000680) in developing sustainable livelihoods, generating income, **[00:40:50.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000681) and achieving greater economic self-reliance. **[00:40:53.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000682) Given the program's performance and reach, **[00:40:55.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000683) additional funding may be needed to extend these opportunities to more families. **[00:40:59.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000684) We have revamped SLP to move beyond one-time assistance **[00:41:03.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000685) towards sustainable enterprise development. **[00:41:07.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000686) Through Pag-CBOL, we provide long-term support and sustainability plans **[00:41:11.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000687) to help livelihood grow into viable sources of income. **[00:41:14.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000688) We also strengthen market linkages **[00:41:16.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000689) and open new sales channels including digital platforms like TikTok. **[00:41:20.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000690) Our goal is clear, invest in livelihoods that can grow, compete, **[00:41:24.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000691) and provide sustainable income for families. **[00:41:26.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000692) A consistent part of our mandate is to provide residential and center-based services **[00:41:30.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000693) for individuals who require more intensive and sustained care. **[00:41:34.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000694) These include children, older persons, persons with disabilities, **[00:41:37.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000695) and other individuals whose circumstances require specific intervention. **[00:41:41.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000696) For 2025, we serve 9,620 clients, **[00:41:46.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000697) exceeding the target by 11.34%, **[00:41:49.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000698) while in 2026, 8,674 clients have already been served as of this reporting period. **[00:41:57.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000699) For 2027, the 3.3 billion budget will provide specialized care and support **[00:42:03.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000700) to 8,640 clients, helping meet their needs and improve their well-being. **[00:42:08.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000701) Our challenge is to ensure that our 77 residential and center-based facilities **[00:42:13.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000702) remain safe, appropriate, accessible, and sustainable. **[00:42:16.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000703) We are also capable of delivering quality social welfare services. **[00:42:19.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000704) It is for this reason that we are proposing P286.1 million **[00:42:23.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000705) for power system rehabilitation of our care facilities. **[00:42:27.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000706) To address overcapacity, we are also seeking an additional P204 million **[00:42:31.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000707) for cost-of-care subsidies to qualified private social welfare agencies, **[00:42:36.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000708) 50 of which have already been operating beyond their bed capacity. **[00:42:41.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000709) These investments will improve care facilities **[00:42:43.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000710) and expand our capacity to serve vulnerable clients. **[00:42:46.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000711) On disaster response, the QRS allows DSWD to provide timely assistance **[00:42:51.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000712) before, during, and after emergencies, **[00:42:53.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000713) ensuring that affected families feel the government's presence **[00:42:56.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000714) when they need it the most. **[00:42:58.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000715) We fully utilize the 2025 allotment and replenishment. **[00:43:02.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000716) For 2026, we have utilized 14.3 billion of the 16.7 billion release. **[00:43:08.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000717) Our strategy is always present where disasters strike **[00:43:12.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000718) with relief goods ready for immediate deployment. **[00:43:14.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000719) We have 1,048 warehouses nationwide **[00:43:18.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000720) with 4.4 million family food packs in stock as of September 30, 2026. **[00:43:24.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000721) Our modernized facilities can produce up to 63,000 food packs per shift **[00:43:28.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000722) with 7.2 million food packs produced in 2025. **[00:43:33.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000723) We also provide emergency cash transfers and cash for work in 2025. **[00:43:37.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000724) 1.3 million families benefited from or receive help **[00:43:41.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000725) to meet urgent needs and begin recovery. **[00:43:43.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000726) For 2027, **[00:43:44.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000727) the 1.9 billion budget for disaster response and rehabilitation **[00:43:48.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000728) will continue the implementation of LAWA and BINHI, **[00:43:52.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000729) which provides cash support for temporary employment **[00:43:56.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000730) and skills training to poor and disadvantaged families **[00:43:59.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000731) vulnerable to climate hazards, including El Ni?o-induced drought. **[00:44:04.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000732) Drought requires a whole-of-government approach. **[00:44:06.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000733) DSWD provides social protection and humanitarian assistance **[00:44:09.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000734) to meet urgent needs, protect food security and help affected families **[00:44:13.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000735) recover and restore their livelihoods. **[00:44:14.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000736) This includes complementing the efforts of partner agencies and LGUs. **[00:44:19.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000737) This slide will show practical components of LAWA and BINHI, **[00:44:22.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000738) protecting water access, sustaining food production, **[00:44:25.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000739) and strengthening livelihoods. **[00:44:27.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000740) The approach is intended to help communities address immediate effects of El Nino **[00:44:31.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000741) while building capacity to withstand future shocks. **[00:44:34.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000742) The department's role is complemented by coordination with relevant partners, **[00:44:38.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000743) particularly for technical support and provision of agriculture inputs **[00:44:41.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000744) and other sector-driven assistance. **[00:44:43.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000745) In addition, **[00:44:44.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000746) the department also uses its quick response fund for emergency cash transfer. **[00:44:49.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000747) It provides temporary unconditional cash support to individuals and families **[00:44:53.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000748) affected by crises, disaster, and economic shocks. **[00:44:56.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian**

Rex, but before you do **[00:45:28.100] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000764) that, the Chair would like to recognize **[00:45:29.800] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000765) the presence of the Senate President, Senator **[00:45:31.960] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000766) Sherwin. Salamat sa inyong presensya. **[00:45:34.260] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000767) Well, after Sec. Rex **[00:45:36.120] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000768) immediately answers that **[00:45:37.800] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000769) issue, I'd like to ask **[00:45:40.100] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000770) the Senate President kung meron kayong gustong ibigay **[00:45:41.940] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000771) na opening remarks and actually as our **[00:45:44.060] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000772) official present here, you'll have first **[00:45:46.000] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000773) crack at the questions to the Department. **[00:45:47.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000774) Just very short, Madam Chairperson. **[00:45:50.180] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000775) Let's proceed. **[00:45:51.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000776) Talagang **[00:45:52.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000777) pumapasok tayo sa **[00:45:55.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000778) tawag ko nga doon, **[00:45:57.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000779) triple whammy **[00:45:58.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000780) sa ating bansa, **[00:46:01.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000781) sa ating ekonomiya. **[00:46:02.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000782) In fact, because of that triple whammy, **[00:46:05.200] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000783) the Senate created the RISE Committee **[00:46:07.280] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000784) to address the economic **[00:46:09.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000785) slowdown of our country. **[00:46:12.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000786) So, in triple whammy will be **[00:46:13.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000787) the Iran conflict. **[00:46:15.460] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000788) Number two will be **[00:46:17.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000789) the rise in oil prices **[00:46:19.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000790) and may spillover effect **[00:46:21.420] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000791) dyan tulad ng inflation. **[00:46:23.760] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000792) And number three, what we are **[00:46:25.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000793) now experiencing and we **[00:46:27.420] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000794) will be experiencing, **[00:46:28.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000795) throughout the next few months, **[00:46:29.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000796) will be El Nino. **[00:46:31.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000797) And because of this effect, **[00:46:36.740] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000798) ang kinakabahan ako, baka hindi natin **[00:46:40.840] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000799) maabot, hindi natin maabot **[00:46:43.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000800) yung ating target pagdating sa **[00:46:45.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000801) poverty reduction. **[00:46:47.160] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000802) And we also need to make sure **[00:46:49.280] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000803) that there are enough social **[00:46:51.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000804) safety nets for inflation. **[00:46:53.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000805) Yung gera sa Iran, on and off eh. **[00:46:55.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000806) Minsan bumababa ang presyo ng langis, **[00:46:57.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000807) Minsan hindi. **[00:46:58.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000808) But every time nang pa-fluctuate yan, **[00:47:00.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000809) tama niyan ang inflation. **[00:47:01.760] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000810) If you look at inflation, you also look at **[00:47:03.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000811) the price of utilities, the price of oil, **[00:47:07.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000812) and the price of food. **[00:47:08.260] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000813) Yung food, doon ako nag-worry. **[00:47:10.460] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000814) That's why we need the social safety nets **[00:47:12.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000815) from the SWD to make sure **[00:47:14.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000816) that our constituents have food to eat, **[00:47:17.700] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000817) their children go to school, **[00:47:19.460] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000818) hindi nakakain yung kanilang **[00:47:22.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000819) disposable income **[00:47:24.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000820) ng inflation. **[00:47:27.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000821) At, **[00:47:28.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000822) nakakapagtrabaho sila ng maayos. **[00:47:31.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000823) So, we will hear from the department **[00:47:32.880] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000824) what are the interventions on those **[00:47:35.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000825) specific aspects. **[00:47:37.360] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000826) And maraming salamat, **[00:47:38.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000827) Madam Chairperson. **[00:47:40.700] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000828) Salamat po, SP. **[00:47:43.520] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000829) So, **[00:47:44.680] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000830) you have just framed the **[00:47:46.580] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000831) matter of social protection **[00:47:48.500] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000832) also as an economic issue. **[00:47:50.780] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000833) So, salamat po para doon. **[00:47:52.620] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000834) So, yes, Secrex, if you'd like to **[00:47:54.260] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000835) first of all respond to the **[00:47:56.640] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000836) issues raised about the, **[00:47:58.040] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000837) the fake **[00:47:58.880] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000838) persons with disability IDs **[00:48:01.460] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000839) and then we'll open the first round **[00:48:03.900] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000840) of questioning with the SP. **[00:48:05.600] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000841) Please proceed, sir. **[00:48:06.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000842) Madam Chair, as pointed out by **[00:48:08.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000843) Senator Tulfo, in his committee, **[00:48:10.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000844) we have tackled this issue. **[00:48:11.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000845) But let me state it for the record. **[00:48:13.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000846) After the, at that time, when we **[00:48:15.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000847) found out, nung napabalita **[00:48:18.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000848) itong napaglaganap ng fake ID, **[00:48:20.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000849) the department immediately went to work **[00:48:21.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000850) and proposed a unified system. **[00:48:24.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000851) The unified ID system. It's a digital **[00:48:25.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000852) format, wala ng physical ID, **[00:48:28.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000853) the beauty of this system, ready na ho siya. **[00:48:30.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000854) In fact, it's the same system we are about **[00:48:31.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000855) to use for solo parents also, or we're using **[00:48:34.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000856) for solo parents. Ang mangyayari lang ho, **[00:48:36.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000857) wala ng ID-ID, it's a digital ID. **[00:48:37.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000858) You get a QR code, pag ni-scan ho ng **[00:48:39.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000859) establishment, you'll know if it's a real **[00:48:42.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000860) ID, kasi nasa database yung tao **[00:48:44.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000861) or wala. We were about to roll it out, **[00:48:46.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000862) but the biggest problem is, when we look at the **[00:48:47.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000863) IRR of the PWD discounts **[00:48:49.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000864) law, man parang the QR **[00:48:52.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000865) code ng IBP. Ganun lang. Yeah. **[00:48:54.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000866) Scan lang ng establishment, **[00:48:56.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000867) no new requirements, cellphone lang nila, **[00:48:58.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000868) pwede na. Naka-piggyback rin siya **[00:49:00.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000869) sa e-gov. So when we were about **[00:49:02.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000870) to roll it out, we looked at the IRR **[00:49:04.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000871) of the PWD discount law, at **[00:49:06.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000872) because of the devolution ng social welfare, **[00:49:08.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000873) walang role ang DSWD **[00:49:10.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000874) doon. We weren't, ang issuing **[00:49:12.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000875) ID is, nang issuing is LGU. **[00:49:15.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000876) LGU siya. **[00:49:16.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000877) So that's why now we have 1,000, tama ho yung **[00:49:18.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000878) sa RestoPH. In fact, I met them also. **[00:49:20.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000879) 1,500 distinct **[00:49:22.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000880) designs of IDs, 1,500 **[00:49:24.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000881) issuing agents, or LGUs, **[00:49:26.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000882) and 1,500 **[00:49:28.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000883) signatures ng mga **[00:49:30.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000884) iba't-ibang nag-i-issue. **[00:49:32.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000885) Wala ho kami doon. So meaning, our **[00:49:34.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000886) solution was ready, but the problem **[00:49:36.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000887) is we had to work on the reform **[00:49:38.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000888) muna nung **[00:49:39.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000889) what the setup, the current status quo. **[00:49:43.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000890) Ang nakipagpulong **[00:49:44.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000891) ho kami sa BIR to try to **[00:49:46.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000892) amend the revenue code, the revenue regulation **[00:49:48.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000893) code, para ma-encourage yung mga **[00:49:50.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000894) merchants to use our ID **[00:49:52.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000895) kasi clearly, mahirap na bawiin yung **[00:49:54.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000896) mga ID na manual na nasa labas. **[00:49:56.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000897) So what will be their incentive? We promised **[00:49:58.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000898) them na pag ito ang gamitin nyo, **[00:50:00.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000899) makakasigurado kayo na malalaman nyo **[00:50:02.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000900) kung legit or illegitimate yung ID **[00:50:04.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000901) because nga nakapatong sa database. **[00:50:07.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000902) So it took time **[00:50:08.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000903) because we have to amend the implementing rules **[00:50:10.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000904) and regulation ng PWD **[00:50:12.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000905) ID discounts law, pero **[00:50:14.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000906) we're almost done. Anytime in the next **[00:50:16.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000907) two weeks, we will sign with DOF **[00:50:18.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000908) and DOH. Now, just **[00:50:20.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000909) one step backwards. We identified **[00:50:22.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000910) three points of fraud **[00:50:24.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000911) kung saan nangyayari ho yung **[00:50:26.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000912) panluloko. Una, **[00:50:28.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000913) tulad ng pinoint out ni **[00:50:29.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000914) Sen. Erwin at ni Sen. Rafi kanina, **[00:50:32.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000915) noon, maluwag yung **[00:50:34.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000916) implementation kung sinong doktor **[00:50:35.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000917) ang pwedeng mag-issue ng alin. **[00:50:37.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000918) Sometimes, you would see a general practitioner **[00:50:39.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000919) issuing what a dev **[00:50:41.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000920) ped should be issuing, for instance. **[00:50:44.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000921) So ang ginawa namin doon, in the interim, **[00:50:45.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000922) kinausap namin yung DOH para **[00:50:47.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000923) i-tighten nila. Then, Secretary **[00:50:49.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000924) Herbosa issued a AO **[00:50:51.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000925) na dinefine na mabuti. **[00:50:53.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000926) Aling doktor lang ang pwede mag-issue? **[00:50:56.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000927) Mag-issue ng aling certification. **[00:50:58.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000928) So hindi ibig sabihin, pag orthopedic ka, **[00:50:59.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000929) pwede ka na rin mag-issue ng learning **[00:51:01.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000930) disability na certification. **[00:51:04.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000931) So yun, na-tighten na ho yun. That's the **[00:51:05.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000932) first part. Yung very loose **[00:51:07.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000933) yung certification process, which **[00:51:09.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000934) is yun yung requirement na dinadala **[00:51:11.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000935) sa LGU to get the ID. **[00:51:13.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000936) Yung pangalawa, may mga **[00:51:15.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000937) pagkakataon talaga na may kaibigan sa **[00:51:17.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000938) loob ng mga pidaw office ng **[00:51:19.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000939) LGU at nag-iissue na lang ng ID **[00:51:21.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000940) kahit kulang ang papel. That one, we **[00:51:23.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000941) worked with the DILG to make sure na talaga **[00:51:26.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000942) down sa mga LGU. Kasi **[00:51:28.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000943) that's an ethical violation, administrative **[00:51:29.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000944) violation yun. It's a matter of the LGUs **[00:51:31.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000945) enforcing it. And pangatlo, **[00:51:34.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000946) yung simple na lang, pupunta sila sa recto, **[00:51:36.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000947) magpapagwa sila ng fake ID. **[00:51:38.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000948) So that one, masusulusyonan with the unified **[00:51:39.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000949) ID. So sa madaling salita ho, ready **[00:51:42.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000950) na yung system. In fact, habang **[00:51:43.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000951) nagaantay kami dun sa revenue code, **[00:51:45.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000952) almost 80% ng ating **[00:51:48.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000953) mga LGU na-train na namin gamitin yung **[00:51:49.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000954) new system. Pangalawa, **[00:51:52.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000955) yung revenue, yung **[00:51:53.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000956) implementing rules and regulation, **[00:51:56.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000957) we're not asking Senate or the **[00:51:57.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000958) Congress to pass a new law. **[00:51:59.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000959) Ginalaw lang, nakiusap, in-amend lang **[00:52:01.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000960) namin yung IRR to include **[00:52:03.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000961) us, the SWD, as an **[00:52:05.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000962) implement, as a issuing entity. **[00:52:08.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000963) Pinakamabilis, **[00:52:09.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000964) next two weeks, we're about to sign with **[00:52:11.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000965) DOH and DOF. **[00:52:13.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000966) Pag na-implement na yun, suddenly may **[00:52:15.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000967) personality na ho kami mag-issue ng ID, then **[00:52:17.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000968) our unified system can be used already. **[00:52:20.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000969) Pangatlo po, **[00:52:23.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000970) in our **[00:52:23.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000971) briefing, Madam Chair, na kwento namin, **[00:52:26.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000972) ang magiging puhuna namin dito **[00:52:27.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000973) will be giving the smaller LGUs **[00:52:30.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000974) binigyan namin ng software. **[00:52:32.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000975) Sasabihin nila, wala naman kaming hardware. **[00:52:34.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000976) So kaya nga ho, yung budget **[00:52:35.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000977) cut sa NCDA budget, **[00:52:37.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000978) yun ho sana yung ipangbibili namin ng **[00:52:39.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000979) hardware na ibibigay sa mga pidaw **[00:52:41.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000980) or people with disability offices **[00:52:43.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000981) para magamit nila yung app or **[00:52:45.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000982) yung software na ginawa namin. **[00:52:47.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000983) Now, Madam Chair, kanina binanggit ho nyo na **[00:52:49.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000984) digitalization should not be a hindrance **[00:52:51.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000985) to excluding people. Tama ho kayo doon. **[00:52:54.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000986) That's why, itong system na to, may **[00:52:55.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000987) option siya to print. So meaning, **[00:52:57.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000988) the LGUs can print the ID as their service **[00:52:59.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000989) pero ito na ang gamitin nila, huwag na yung **[00:53:01.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000990) sarili nilang ID. So, yun ho. **[00:53:04.280] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000991) Although, Secrex, I raised that in **[00:53:05.720] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000992) relation sa four P's, families. **[00:53:07.820] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000993) Pero kung the same principles sa mga **[00:53:09.580] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000994) persons with disabilities, i-apply sa kanila, **[00:53:11.780] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-000995) makakatulong po yun. **[00:53:12.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000995-split-2) Yes, Madam Chair, I believe **[00:53:13.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000996) that technology shouldn't be an excluding factor **[00:53:15.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000997) for any social protection program. **[00:53:18.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000998) So yun ho yung una naming dinulog **[00:53:19.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-000999) na sinulat namin sa committee na sana ma-restore **[00:53:21.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001000) yung maliit lang naman na pondo sa NCDA **[00:53:23.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001001) para mabili yung computers, **[00:53:25.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001002) at mabigay yung hardware. Kasi **[00:53:27.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001003) sasabihin ng mga LGU, mayroon nga kayong software, **[00:53:30.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001004) may revenue code kayo, **[00:53:31.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001005) wala naman kaming computer. So pag may magpapaprint, **[00:53:34.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001006) paano namin ipiprint? **[00:53:35.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001007) So there are three ingredients. Software is ready **[00:53:37.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001008) with a key database behind it. **[00:53:40.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001009) Ang nagpapopulate naman ho ng database, **[00:53:42.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001010) yung mga pidaw office rin eh. Hindi naman **[00:53:43.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001011) namin kinuha yung power na yun. **[00:53:45.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001012) Pangalawa, ready na rin ho yung **[00:53:47.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001013) IRR na amendment. **[00:53:50.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001014) Anytime magsasign na ho kami, **[00:53:52.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001015) ito na lang ho hardware ang kailangan ho namin. **[00:53:54.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001016) We take cognizance **[00:53:55.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001017) of the issue, kinausap rin po namin yung **[00:53:57.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001018) RestoPH.

Marcos** (asr-001120) under sa inyo? **[00:57:22.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001120-split-2) Hindi na rin po. **[00:57:23.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001121) OP na po silang dalawa. Yes. **[00:57:25.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001122) So sa dalawa, OP na ngayon. **[00:57:27.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001123) Together with the NCSC, yung senior citizen. **[00:57:31.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001124) Ma'am, initially, **[00:57:32.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001125) when this was scheduled, they were still part **[00:57:33.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001126) of our group. **[00:57:34.920] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001126-split-2) Pero yung **[00:57:35.580] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001127) Occidental Commission has never been **[00:57:38.020] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001128) part of it. **[00:57:38.390] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001128-split-2) Ma'am, it was. It was. **[00:57:39.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001129) You sponsored that also. **[00:57:41.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001130) Kasi bakit doble-doble sila, **[00:57:43.960] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001131) tapos tinanggal yung isa, **[00:57:45.720] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001132) pero yung isa nananatili pa rin? **[00:57:47.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001133) Ma'am, both tinanggal na at nilipat na pabalik **[00:57:49.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001134) sa office of the President. **[00:57:50.940] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001134-split-2) Alright. **[00:57:51.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001135) Pero bakit dalawa sila? **[00:57:52.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001135-split-2) Ma'am, from my **[00:57:53.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001136) understanding, when I was still... **[00:57:55.240] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001137) Yung isa, remnant ng 1986, **[00:57:58.080] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001138) yung isa, bungad nung **[00:57:59.520] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001139) batas ng 1997. Diba dapat **[00:58:01.700] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001140) pag-isahin yan, **[00:58:03.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001141) palibasa tayo lahat. Tayo naging **[00:58:05.280] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001142) streamlining, rationalizing, **[00:58:07.900] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001143) at gusto natin, yung urban **[00:58:09.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001144) poor magkaroon ng matinuti ng budget. **[00:58:12.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001145) Madam Chair, did you want **[00:58:13.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001146) me to answer that? **[00:58:14.570] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001146-split-2) Well, that's actually **[00:58:15.700] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001147) an interesting question. Kasi after **[00:58:17.660] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001148) the emancipation, so yung tanong **[00:58:19.780] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001149) ni Senator Imee, pwedeng mag-comment, please, **[00:58:21.780] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001150) both yung NAPC at saka yung **[00:58:23.120] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001151) PCUP. Maaring may kinalaman nga, **[00:58:25.720] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001152) sa institutional **[00:58:26.860] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001153) reform, but **[00:58:29.500] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001154) PCUP will also **[00:58:31.640] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001155) have to comment ano din yung working relationship **[00:58:33.740] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001156) niya, halimbawa, sa DHSUD. So, **[00:58:35.640] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001157) perhaps, Usec. Catong, you would **[00:58:37.000] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001158) like to give the perspective of **[00:58:39.520] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001159) NAPC right now, and then, if **[00:58:41.340] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001160) Senator Imee is satisfied with the answer, **[00:58:43.440] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001161) proceed to your budget presentation. **[00:58:45.160] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001162) Thank you very much, Madam Chair. **[00:58:48.320] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001163) And thank you very much, **[00:58:50.480] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001164) Secretary **[00:58:50.940] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001165) Gatchalian. Pursuant to **[00:58:53.500] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001166) the issuance of August **[00:58:55.720] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001167) 14 by the President **[00:58:57.660] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001168) Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr., **[00:58:59.560] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001169) Executive Order No. 123, **[00:59:01.860] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001170) NAPC, together with PCUP, **[00:59:04.240] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001171) the two institutions are a part **[00:59:05.600] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001172) of the Office of the President. Originally, **[00:59:07.700] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001173) yes, I agree that **[00:59:09.120] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001174) under Republic Act 8425, **[00:59:11.780] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001175) actually signed into law by **[00:59:13.680] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001176) President Ramos in December 11 of **[00:59:15.480] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001177) 1997, with NAPC **[00:59:17.660] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001178) as the lead agency **[00:59:19.340] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001179) on matters pertaining to poverty reduction, **[00:59:22.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001180) we main task **[00:59:23.700] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001181) on policy reform, **[00:59:25.720] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001182) recovery, and in accordance with social reform **[00:59:27.420] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001183) agenda. And **[00:59:28.900] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001184) it was only in 2019 **[00:59:31.660] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001185) that NAPC was placed **[00:59:33.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001186) under the administrative supervision **[00:59:34.760] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001187) of the DSWD. **[00:59:37.560] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001188) And hence, in **[00:59:39.220] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001189) the budget preparations and all, **[00:59:41.280] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001190) we were under the **[00:59:43.220] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001191) DSWD. Last August **[00:59:45.480] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001192) 14, the President **[00:59:46.520] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001193) finally decided, also because of **[00:59:49.580] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001194) the task pursuant to Republic Act **[00:59:51.520] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001195) 11291, or the **[00:59:53.300] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001196) Magna Carta of the Poor, that **[00:59:55.420] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001197) mandates all local government units **[00:59:57.480] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001198) to formulate **[00:59:59.240] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001199) their **[01:00:00.080] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001201) their provincial, city, and municipal poverty reduction action plan. **[01:00:06.040] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001202) And in that law, as a result of, actually, this was anchored on a 1965 UN Convention. **[01:00:13.200] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001203) The Philippines only passed a law in 2019. **[01:00:21.080] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001204) And the Magna Carta of the Poor that demands a local poverty reduction action plan **[01:00:27.980] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001205) to all local government institutions was only implemented in 2023. **[01:00:34.940] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001206) Imagine and focus on the five fundamental rights of the poor. **[01:00:40.200] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001207) The right to adequate food, the right to the highest attainable standards of health, **[01:00:45.200] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001208) the right to adequate housing, the right to highest attainable standards of health, **[01:00:54.800] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001209) and including the decent work. **[01:00:59.420] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001210) In other words, these five fundamental rights are now in place in the Magna Carta of the Poor **[01:01:05.920] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001211) Local Poverty Reduction Action Plan with a Joint Memorandum Circular 01 Series of 2023 **[01:01:11.140] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001212) with DSWD, with then NEDA, now DEPDev, with PSA because of the Community-Based Monitoring System Law. **[01:01:21.100] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001213) And of course, in that context, in the... **[01:01:24.800] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001214) In the en banc meeting presided over by the President in June 30 of 2023, **[01:01:32.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001215) the target or the marching order to reducing the poverty incidence to 8.8 **[01:01:36.820] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001216) was articulated in that 2023 en banc meeting. **[01:01:40.540] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001217) In the 2024 meeting, also, with the support of both houses, especially the Senate, **[01:01:47.360] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001218) it was the Chairperson, Risa Hontiveros, and also with the support of Senator Imee Marcos, **[01:01:54.800] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001219) NAPC was given an additional budget of 140 million. **[01:02:00.260] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001220) But, of course, not enough to roll out the full implementation of the Magna Carta of the Poor **[01:02:06.820] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001221) because we are targeting two sectors. **[01:02:09.160] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001222) NAPC is the only institution in government that talks about the two main sectors, **[01:02:15.620] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001223) the government sector with 27 partner member agencies to include the DSWD, the DILG, **[01:02:21.700] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001224) and all other agencies with PAPs on poverty reduction. **[01:02:24.800] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001225) Under Republic Act 11291. **[01:02:27.740] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001226) Also, 50% of that are the 14 basic sectors. **[01:02:31.920] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001227) Meaning to say that to ensure the full participation and representation at all levels of governments **[01:02:38.760] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001228) pursuant to Republic Act 8425, **[01:02:41.840] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001229) these two legislations plus the Community-Based Monitoring System, **[01:02:45.780] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001230) ito po ang tatlong legal frameworks na kailangan talaga ni NAPC ng karagdagang pondo po. **[01:02:52.820] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001231) Otherwise, hindi natin maaabot. **[01:02:54.800] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001232) Yung sinabi ng batas, Republic Act 11291, **[01:02:57.500] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001233) that says that there shall be an NPRP, **[01:03:00.820] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001234) the National Poverty Reduction Action Plan. **[01:03:02.480] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001235) Diba di na kayo dalawang mag-usap, magkatabi na rin lang kayo? **[01:03:05.080] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001236) Para [unclear] na lang. **[01:03:06.900] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001237) Partner member agency po din sila ng NAPC, ma'am. **[01:03:10.000] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001238) Yes, ma'am. **[01:03:12.240] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001239) PCUP is one of the 27 partner member agencies of NAPC. **[01:03:16.100] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001240) Anong opinion ni Secretary Rich? **[01:03:18.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001241) Madam Chair, we were all tasked to submit an optimization plan. **[01:03:21.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001242) At nung pinangasiwaan ko sila, sa opinion ko rin, **[01:03:23.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001243) dapat magkasama na sila. **[01:03:24.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001244) The only deviation naman kasi, both of them are, they make policy. **[01:03:28.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001245) Meron lang distinct na role si PCUP because they do the mediation pagka may mga demolition. **[01:03:33.520] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001246) That's right. **[01:03:34.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-001247) But bukod doon, they pretty much act and feel the same. **[01:03:38.540] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001248) Yeah, yung mga demolition and eviction yung sa inyo. **[01:03:41.780] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001249) Yung accreditation ng mga urban poor groups, sino? **[01:03:44.820] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001250) Kayo o sa NAPC? **[01:03:46.600] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001251) Urban poor, dapat talaga magkaisan nila kasi watak-watak. **[01:03:50.100] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001252) Pero maliban pa sa dating kasamahan namin, si Senator Pacquiao, **[01:03:53.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001253) may isa pang sikat eh, akala ko na nandito, wala pala. **[01:03:56.700] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001254) Yung namamayagpag sa social media, yung Sofia Canlas, wala po. **[01:04:23.740] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001256) Okay, medyo nagigets ko na yung comment. **[01:04:28.580] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001257) But bago natin hingin kay Yusek Katong i-present nga yung budget ng NAPC, **[01:04:33.880] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001258) baka Chair Michelle Ann, meron din po kayong comment doon sa tanong ni Senator Aimee **[01:04:41.140] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001259) at yung dagdag na context na pinag-provide ni Secrex, **[01:04:44.420] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001260) kung bakit magkakahiwalay pa yung dalawang ahensya nyo **[01:04:47.040] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001261) at bakit hindi kaya pagsamahin, lalo na dalawang hindi malalaking budget, **[01:04:51.880] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001262) kung pagsamahin baka mas magkaroon ng impact. **[01:04:55.340] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001263) I think that's a question behind the question as well. **[01:04:57.660] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001264) Okay, good afternoon Madam Chair. **[01:04:59.760] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001265) So ang PCUP po ay naitatag nung sa visa ng EO82 **[01:05:04.380] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001266) para maging direct link between the poor and the programs and policies of the government **[01:05:09.580] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001267) na napalakas ng EO69 para magsagawa ng social preparation. **[01:05:15.080] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001268) Actually, PCUP lang po ang merong social preparation sa mandato. **[01:05:20.020] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001269) Social preparation. **[01:05:21.880] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001270) Asset reform, human development, livelihood programs **[01:05:26.260] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001271) at yung nga pong nabanggit yung Secretary Rex na unique mandate ng PCUP **[01:05:30.280] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001272) ay yung pag-conduct ng pre-demolition conferences **[01:05:33.720] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001273) para sa mga mahihirap na humaharap sa demolition at eviction. **[01:05:38.740] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001274) Ang PCUP po kasi ay nakafocus talaga sa urban poor sector. **[01:05:45.080] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001275) So it's more of the social safeguards na ginagawa ng PCUP. **[01:05:50.540] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001276) So ang understanding ko po sa NAPC, convener po ang NAPC nung 14 sectors. **[01:05:59.460] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001277) So alam ko po, convener sila. **[01:06:04.440] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001278) So meron silang sector ng urban poor, yung NAPC na tinatawag, one of the sectors. **[01:06:12.020] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001279) But yung members nila, pero hindi sila yung as immersed as what we do. **[01:06:20.540] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001280) Na talagang we organize urban poor organizations. **[01:06:24.820] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001281) We conduct capacity building sa kanila. **[01:06:27.800] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001282) We organize them. **[01:06:29.980] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001283) And then kami talaga yung humaharap sa mga local housing board, LIAC. **[01:06:35.460] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001284) Humaharap sa demolition at nagbibigay ng clearance. **[01:06:41.300] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B. Gonzales** (asr-001285) Kung talagang naka-anchor po kasi kami sa UDHA. **[01:06:45.660] PCUP Chairperson Michelle Anne B.

Thank you very much Madam Chair. **[01:07:33.960] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001294) And good afternoon everyone. **[01:07:36.420] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001295) To continue, over 704 local poverty reduction action committees formed out of the almost 1,600. **[01:07:46.700] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001296) Ito po ay... **[01:07:48.280] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001297) 50% po nito ay government sector, meaning in the local government units all over the country. **[01:07:55.040] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001298) After having capacitated because of the help also of the Philippine Senate, **[01:07:58.440] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001299) actually pinahabol yung 140 million and thank you very much for that. **[01:08:03.560] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001300) Pero kulang po talaga, ito lang po yung inabot. **[01:08:06.720] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001301) In fact, most of the local government institutions through the help of the ULAP, **[01:08:10.420] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001302) or Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines, **[01:08:12.240] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001303) plus the League of Provinces of the Philippines under the NAPC vice chairperson for government sector, **[01:08:18.060] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001304) government institutions. **[01:08:18.280] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001305) Or Junta Mayo, tumulong na po sila sa gastusin doon po sa grounds. **[01:08:23.520] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001306) In other words, for example, sinampulan ng South Catapato, **[01:08:26.700] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001307) ang gastos po doon sa provincial poverty reduction action plans sa isang probinsya is more or less 10 million. **[01:08:32.220] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001308) Sila na po ang gumastos doon. **[01:08:34.380] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001309) And sa Mwanga del Sur, even sa Mwanga City, **[01:08:37.740] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001310) because we are targeting actually not only that 82 provinces in the country with their consolidated plans. **[01:08:43.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001311) Bottom up, data-driven, and participatory, **[01:08:47.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001312) because in the 704 local poverty reduction action committees, **[01:08:54.860] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001313) may issuance po dito ang local chief executives from the municipalities, cities, and provinces. **[01:09:00.320] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001314) Tapos po, 50% po niyan ay tinitiyak ng NAPC. **[01:09:03.100] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001315) Na yung 14 basic sectors po ay walang may iiwanan doon. **[01:09:06.860] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001316) Yung sektor ng kababaihan, kabataan, including, of course, the PWTs, **[01:09:12.280] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001317) and all other sectors, the fisher folk, yung pinakamahirap po ngayon, **[01:09:15.360] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001318) and the victims of disasters and calamity. **[01:09:17.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001319) Diyan po ay, in other words, yung hindi na about na 11% na gaps na yan po, **[01:09:24.060] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001320) ayan po yung hinahabol at hinahanap ni NAPC. **[01:09:26.780] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001321) In fact, in the last NB meeting, it was NAPC who really pushed for the full implementation also **[01:09:33.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001322) with the help of the Secretary Katsalian and other partners, **[01:09:38.900] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001323) partner member agencies of the National Anti-Poverty Commission, **[01:09:42.480] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001324) yung ating pong batas na community-based monitoring system. **[01:09:45.960] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001325) At tumulong na rin po. **[01:09:47.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001326) The Armed Forces of the Philippines and Philippine National Police **[01:09:49.580] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001327) para abutin po yung mga areas na, especially in the geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas. **[01:09:55.740] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001328) In other words, ngayon po ay 704 LGUs na po ito ang nagagawa. **[01:10:03.200] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001329) Consolidation na lang po because, for example, in the province of Zamboanga del Norte, **[01:10:07.040] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001330) the poorest province in the entire country up to this time, **[01:10:11.740] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001331) ang ano po natin is 27 LGUs plus the province 28 po. **[01:10:17.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001332) In three legislative districts. **[01:10:20.040] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001333) Ito po ay ang gagastusin po sana ng National Anti-Poverty Commission dito **[01:10:24.300] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001334) ay mga more or less 16 million **[01:10:26.320] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001335) para po doon sa thorough planning process in accordance with Republic Act 11291. **[01:10:32.200] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001336) Pero kahit na mahirap siya sa Zamboanga del Norte dahil kinakailangan talaga nila ang P-Prop nila, **[01:10:37.020] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001337) sila na po ang gumastos. **[01:10:39.040] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001338) Kaya dahil nakita nila ang pakinabang na yung mga hindi naabot ay naabot talaga **[01:10:44.540] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001339) dahil po sa participation ng basic sectors na 14, **[01:10:47.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001340) plus the 50% of that ay galing po sa government sector. **[01:10:52.540] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001341) At dito po ay meron tayong joint, gawargyadong Joint Memorandum Circular. **[01:10:56.760] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001342) After the Joint Memorandum Circular 01, Series of 2023 with DBM, with DSWD, with DEB-DEB, **[01:11:04.040] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001343) with PSA because dahil ano siya, data-driven, and with DILG, **[01:11:11.060] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001344) nagpalabas pa po ng Joint Memorandum Circular, NAPSI, and DILG. **[01:11:17.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001345) 01, Series of 2025 na sinisiguro na lahat po ng local government units sa buong bansa **[01:11:26.780] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001346) ay susunod doon sa template at masiguro po talaga na walang may iwan. **[01:11:33.540] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001347) Meaning yung mga gaps po ay naka-cover ni NAPSI. **[01:11:35.840] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001348) Wala pong duplication dahil po yung hindi naaabot ay siguraduhin pong aabotin ni NAPSI. **[01:11:41.300] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001349) In my case, as the oversight head for the Local Affairs Coordinating and Monitoring Service, **[01:11:47.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001350) humbly, I was able to, pinuntahan ko po ang 82 provinces sa buong Pilipinas. **[01:11:53.780] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001351) In one year, kahit ko walang supporta gamit ang pinakalumang sasakyan ng gobyerno, **[01:11:59.620] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001352) 18 years old vehicle, but anyway, that's public service. **[01:12:05.740] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001353) Sa proposal po natin, part ng significant accomplishments sa NAPSI before, **[01:12:09.560] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001354) yan po yung very briefly natin yung proposal, ay 3,654 basic sectors, **[01:12:17.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001355) representatives, ay capacitated po and trained in NAPSI on matters pertaining to the full implementation **[01:12:22.820] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001356) of the Local Poverty Reduction Action Plan. **[01:12:25.580] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001357) Ibig sabihin po, yung five na key planners po ng ating pahamalan, **[01:12:31.180] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001358) middle managers hanggang sa municipalities po, ay nagsama-sama together with DILG, with DSWD, **[01:12:37.880] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001359) almost perfect attendance po, Secretary Rex, ang DSWD, ang DILG, and the five key officials. **[01:12:47.300] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001360) Isa po. **[01:12:47.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001361) Ibig sabihin po, ay sigurado po tayo, ang larga doon sa grounds ay participatory talaga, data-driven, **[01:12:56.920] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001362) and yung budget po, isa rin po, before dito sa, is the strengthened operations and physical target accomplishments po, **[01:13:11.740] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001363) at saka strong foundation for the NBANC. Magkakaroon po ng NBANC ang NAPSI ngayong schedule po, **[01:13:17.060] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001364) ngayong November, at ginawa na po ang ating preparation. **[01:13:21.180] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001365) Now, on the budget, ito po ang hinihiling po ng, very briefly, **[01:13:26.180] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001366) May kopya ako nitong budget proposal sa marinyo, pakifurnish din yung lahat ng mga senador. **[01:13:33.520] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-001367) Ganon din po yung para sa PCUP, itong ganito po. **[01:13:38.020] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001368) We will do that. Thank you very much. **[01:13:40.220] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001369) And I'll proceed to the agency's request to Congress. **[01:13:44.380] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001370) Fulfillment of the 4.5 billion, **[01:13:47.060] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001371) People's Development Trust Fund under Republic Act 8.425. **[01:13:50.020] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001372) Nabanggit din po ito ni Sen. Riza and Sen. Marcos po sa 2024 at saka 2025. **[01:13:59.980] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001373) Ito yung fulfillment po nito. **[01:14:01.980] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001374) For the basic sector participation in the LPROP or Local Poverty Reduction Action Plan formulation and implementation, **[01:14:07.740] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001375) including the POP, prototyping, capacity building, technical assistance in project development and costing, **[01:14:13.980] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001376) sectoral consultations, **[01:14:17.060] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001377) convergence workshop, participatory monitoring and documentation of replicable poverty reduction initiatives. **[01:14:22.740] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001378) Second is on the 1 billion appropriation for the masagalang pamumuhay sa bagong Pilipinas PLAGSI program and special provision. **[01:14:33.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001379) Because po ang NAPSI ay hirap na hirap po talaga kami doon sa geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas **[01:14:40.180] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001380) because wala kami yung regional offices. Ito po ang tinatarget namin ay kahit makapag-umpis haman lang po ng mga, **[01:14:45.980] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001382) ng offices po doon sa region dahil mas malaki ang gastos po ng gobyerno kung palaging lumilipad po at saka nagka-travel po at saka sa mga islands. **[01:14:55.920] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001383) Pero kung meron tayong targeted, for example, we have targeted 30... **[01:15:00.000] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001384) vulnerable provinces **[01:15:01.940] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001385) and most of the **[01:15:04.280] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001386) municipalities there belong to **[01:15:07.080] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001387) the **[01:15:07.520] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001388) JIDA in the **[01:15:10.080] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001389) hinterlands and islands. **[01:15:12.260] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001390) Kaya po, actually **[01:15:14.080] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001391) ang proposal ay medyo malaki-laki pero **[01:15:16.160] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001392) kinukonsider po natin yung sinabi **[01:15:18.020] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001393) ni ating Senate President **[01:15:19.500] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001394) at nag-uusap po kami ni Secretary Pacquiao **[01:15:22.260] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001395) na with that, **[01:15:23.940] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001396) considering that one, **[01:15:26.440] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001397) kahit na mauna **[01:15:28.060] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001398) na lang po daw po yung **[01:15:29.080] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001399) 1 billion appropriation for the MBPP **[01:15:31.600] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001400) program pursuant to **[01:15:33.460] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001401) Republic 11291 **[01:15:35.260] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001402) na siya po ang **[01:15:37.060] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001403) tumitiyak na magkaroon po tayo **[01:15:39.740] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001404) ng National Poverty Reduction Action Plan **[01:15:41.500] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001405) because the Philippines is one of the **[01:15:43.320] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001406) very few countries na lang po sa buong mundo **[01:15:45.160] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001407) na wala pong **[01:15:46.820] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001408) National Poverty Reduction Action Plan. **[01:15:49.840] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001409) Required po ito ng batas. **[01:15:51.520] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001410) In Malaysia po, as early **[01:15:53.620]

**[01:16:07.340] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001418) immediately after their declaration of independence. **[01:16:09.500] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001419) Ito po, ang Pilipinas po **[01:16:11.240] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001420) ay isa sa mga original secretaries ng **[01:16:12.960] NAPC Undersecretary Esnaen Catong** (asr-001421) 1965 Covenant on

But, maybe **[01:33:13.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-002061) I can, before the plenary, **[01:33:15.400] Senator Alan Peter S.

In fact, we made **[01:35:43.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002131) that very clear. We spoke to the **[01:35:45.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002132) union also of the department and assured **[01:35:47.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002133) them that during the regularization process, **[01:35:50.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002134) we will consider **[01:35:51.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002135) all the institutional knowledge, **[01:35:53.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002136) all the... **[01:35:55.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002137) to make sure that the incumbents **[01:35:57.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002138) get first dibs doon sa mga **[01:35:59.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002139) posisyon na yun. Pero wala ho maalis. **[01:36:01.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002140) Madaling salta, wala ho. Malilip, mako-convert **[01:36:03.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002141) sila. Mako-convert sila into regulars. **[01:36:06.420] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002142) Ano po ang **[01:36:07.020] Senator Erwin T.

So nauna **[01:36:25.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002152) na yung 5,000, may padating **[01:36:27.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002153) na na 5,000 ulit. So that should **[01:36:29.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002154) give us 10,000. So **[01:36:30.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002155) kung yung 24,000 **[01:36:33.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002156) na ho na to, nandito pa yung **[01:36:34.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002157) hindi pa kinakaltas yung fiber, di ba? **[01:36:37.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002158) Kung 24,000 na to, Madam Chair, **[01:36:39.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002159) Mr. Senator, mababawasan ka agad yan **[01:36:41.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002160) ng 5,000, sigurado na. **[01:36:43.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002161) And then another 5,000 **[01:36:44.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002162) immediately thereafter. **[01:36:47.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002163) So bumababa na ho yung numero. **[01:36:48.900] Senator Erwin T.

Dapat when you turn 80, **[01:39:16.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002236) 85, 90, 95, you get it **[01:39:18.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002237) all the way to 100. **[01:39:20.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002238) Doon kasi kami may bone of contention. **[01:39:23.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002239) We were telling them **[01:39:25.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002240) na dapat wala ng application yan. **[01:39:27.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002241) We used the CBMS **[01:39:28.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002242) to determine **[01:39:29.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002243) parang actuarial service. Kasi nung nasa **[01:39:31.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002244) amin yan sa DSWD, or may say **[01:39:33.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002245) nung nasa atin, nung nasa inyo pa ho nung time nyo, **[01:39:35.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002246) pinipredict na natin yan **[01:39:37.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002247) 2 years or 3 years in advance through **[01:39:39.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002248) a rolling system. But **[01:39:41.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002249) unfortunately, I think the NCSC **[01:39:43.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002250) initiated the new system na yung matanda **[01:39:45.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002251) kailangan mag-apply. So baka akala lang ho **[01:39:47.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002252) natin yung 15,000, eh yun na ho yun. **[01:39:49.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002253) Yung mga hindi nag-apply, mas marami ho yun. **[01:39:51.760] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002254) Kaya nga, I was asking **[01:39:52.680] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002255) her kanina, Ms. Calapit, **[01:39:55.920] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002256) kasi dapat **[01:39:57.240] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002257) tama naman ho yun. **[01:39:59.380] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002258) Bakit pa po pag-apply yun yung mga yan, **[01:40:01.400] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002259) dapat kung nasa system na po yan, **[01:40:04.220] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002260) they don't have to go to **[01:40:06.080] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002261) ikanga pipila, **[01:40:08.060] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002262) magka ikanga mag-fill up **[01:40:09.980] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002263) ng mga forms. Di po ba? **[01:40:11.760] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002264) Tama po ba ako? Kailangan **[01:40:12.980] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002265) tamatik na ho yan pagdating nila ng age **[01:40:15.840] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002266) na ganoon, alam na ho ng inyong **[01:40:17.920] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002267) tanggapan? **[01:40:20.000] NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C.

Calapit** (asr-002269) Doon po kami patungo. **[01:40:24.200] NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit** (asr-002270) At yan naman po talaga **[01:40:25.940] NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit** (asr-002271) ang aming balak. **[01:40:28.060] NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C.

Tulfo** (asr-002297) Thank you po. Matanong ko lang, **[01:41:19.800] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002298) Ms. Emily Bertico, kayo po sa **[01:41:21.420] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002299) Coalition of Services **[01:41:24.060] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002300) of the Elderly. **[01:41:25.800] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002301) Anong posisyon nyo rito? **[01:41:27.820] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002302) I mean, **[01:41:29.380] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002303) tama po ba ang DSWD? **[01:41:31.920] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002304) I believe tama naman po na hindi na **[01:41:33.820] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002305) kailangan. Dapat nasa system na po **[01:41:35.860] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002306) yun at hindi na kailangan pumila **[01:41:37.660] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002307) magpalista pa ang ating mga ikang **[01:41:39.580] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002308) centenarians. **[01:41:40.840] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002309) Yes po. Good afternoon everyone. **[01:41:43.960] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002310) Yes po, naniniwala kami na dapat nga po **[01:41:45.920] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002311) hindi na pumila, mag-submit. **[01:41:47.780] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002312) Kailangan lang po talagang maayos yung listahan. **[01:41:50.700] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002313) So mayroon pong database **[01:41:51.920] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002314) ang NCSC ngayon. Kaso nasa **[01:41:54.440] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002315) national level siya. **[01:41:55.800] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002316) So ang kaya po pinopi, **[01:41:58.060] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002317) ina-advocate din namin sa kanila **[01:42:00.120] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002318) na sana sa LGU level. **[01:42:02.180] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002319) Kasi kapag may once na may **[01:42:04.200] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002320) nag-reach ng age ng for example **[01:42:05.880] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002321) 80, automatic po nung **[01:42:07.620] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002322) malalaman sana. **[01:42:09.800] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002323) So yung po yung isang concern ngayon na **[01:42:11.480] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002324) winowork out namin in partnership po with NCSC **[01:42:14.140] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002325) na maayos talaga yung database. **[01:42:16.300] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002326) Kapag maayos na po kasi, **[01:42:18.160] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002327) anytime, alam na natin **[01:42:20.180] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002328) kung sino yung maging 80, 85, **[01:42:21.940] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002329) 90, 90, 100, may bibigay agad **[01:42:24.260] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002330) yung assistance po na kailangan. **[01:42:26.200] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002331) Opo, marami po kasi nagtatanong. **[01:42:28.060] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002332) Sa akin, Secretary, regarding **[01:42:30.180] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002333) this, kung dahil nabalita **[01:42:32.240] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002334) daw, parang automatic **[01:42:34.100] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002335) pag tungtong ng 80, 85, **[01:42:35.840] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002336) makukuha na nila. So kung magpapalista **[01:42:38.100] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002337) pa po, minsan, ang layo po **[01:42:40.060] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002338) ng tira na sa liblib na lugar, that is **[01:42:41.940] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002339) the problem po. **[01:42:44.780] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002340) Magdagdag lang po ako. Isa po sa **[01:42:46.100] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002341) concern kapag bank account din po, **[01:42:48.000] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002342) marami sa mga nakatatanda, lalo sa **[01:42:50.040] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002343) mga liblib na lugar, wala naman pong **[01:42:52.220] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002344) capacity na mag-apply ng mga **[01:42:54.160] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002345) bank account. So, **[01:42:55.720] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002346) baka kailangan po, re-parent talaga **[01:42:57.820] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002347) yung makipag-ugnayan na lang **[01:42:59.780] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002348) sa Office of Senior Citizens Affairs **[01:43:01.460] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002349) sa bawat LGU na sila na lang po **[01:43:03.360] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002350) siguro yung magbigay. And also, may **[01:43:05.520] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002351) mga staff naman, yung NCSC right sa ground **[01:43:07.880] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002352) na tumutulong po. **[01:43:09.620] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-002353) So, pwede pong ganun. **[01:43:10.980] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002354) Thank you, Ms. Emily. Secretary? **[01:43:13.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002355) Senator, Madam Chair, Senator Erwin, **[01:43:16.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002356) matagal na kasi namin ho **[01:43:17.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002357) tinututukan. Nung **[01:43:19.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002358) binigay yan sa kanila, nung kinuha yan **[01:43:21.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002359) sa kanila, binigay na namin sa kanila **[01:43:23.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002360) yung rolling plan. Three years **[01:43:25.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002361) po yun eh. Kasi mapapredict mo naman ho **[01:43:27.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002362) yung the CBMS. And then, **[01:43:30.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002363) pwede na ho i-validate. **[01:43:31.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002364) I think nagiging problema ho kasi, the new **[01:43:33.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002365) system na mag-apply. And the second part of the **[01:43:35.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002366) problem is, kulang ho sila ng tao. **[01:43:38.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002367) Dahil yung NCSC is a very **[01:43:40.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002368) small agency na jumpstart. That's why **[01:43:41.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002369) patuloy ho namin sinasabi noon na **[01:43:43.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002370) ibalik na sila sa amin, the function, **[01:43:45.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002371) kasi yung mga tao ng DSWD dati, yun **[01:43:47.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002372) na rin ang ginagawa. So, pag nakita **[01:43:49.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002373) namin na mag-80, 85 na, **[01:43:51.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002374) ahead of time, pinukuntahan na ho natin **[01:43:53.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002375) sila, pinoproject na natin, **[01:43:55.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002376) bina-validate na. So, medyo nabago ho **[01:43:57.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002377) doon. And I think, mahihirapan ho yung **[01:43:59.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002378) NCSC to cope. Kasi even if you look at their **[01:44:01.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002379) budget proposal, kulang talaga **[01:44:03.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002380) ng tao ho talaga yung NCSC. **[01:44:06.020] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002381) Sek, pahapol ko lang. **[01:44:08.880] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002382) Tama po ba **[01:44:09.700] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002383) na itong social **[01:44:10.680] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002384) pension for indigent **[01:44:13.680] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002385) senior citizens ng **[01:44:15.440] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002386) NCSC? **[01:44:17.940] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002387) Hindi pa po natatransfer? **[01:44:19.800] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002388) Yeah. And then, **[01:44:21.260] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002389) will it violate section 11 **[01:44:23.320] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002390) RA number 11350 **[01:44:25.140] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002391) which explicitly mandates **[01:44:27.160] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002392) the transfer? **[01:44:27.820] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002393) of certain functions to NCSC? **[01:44:30.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002394) Yeah. **[01:44:31.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002395) Merong hong executive order **[01:44:33.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002396) na linabas, I think, **[01:44:35.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002397) a year ago, during the last **[01:44:37.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002398) budget season. Kasi nga, **[01:44:39.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002399) ang bone of contention naman ho noon **[01:44:41.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002400) is that will require a big chunk of **[01:44:43.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002401) money to beef up NCSC **[01:44:45.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002402) to perform the function. And then, **[01:44:47.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002403) sinayit doon sa EO na yun, yung **[01:44:49.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002404) optimization law, na ibalik **[01:44:51.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002405) na lang yan sa DSWD dahil nga **[01:44:53.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002406) that function can't be done by DSWD **[01:44:55.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002407) and NCSC can be **[01:44:57.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002408) a policy-making body. **[01:45:00.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002409) Para hindi na magdagdag ng tao. **[01:45:01.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002410) Kasi yung mga tao namin, dati yun na rin yung ginagawa nila. **[01:45:04.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002411) Wala nang dadagdag pa. **[01:45:05.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002412) Pero pinawasan natin ng narabaho yung tao namin. **[01:45:08.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002413) Okay naman sa amin. Masaya yung mga tao namin. **[01:45:10.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002414) Pero ngayon, humingi sila ng dagdag tao. **[01:45:12.920] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002415) Alright. Last two points na lang, Secretary. **[01:45:16.960] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002416) Yung sustainable livelihood at saka AICS. **[01:45:21.480] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002417) Senator Erwin, bago nyo iwan ang NCSC, just one quick question. **[01:45:25.580] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002418) Salamat. Kay ED, Anna Marie. **[01:45:27.380] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002419) Ma'am, wala po ba yung chair o kahit sinong commissioner ng NCSC na kasama natin ngayong hapon? **[01:45:35.520] NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit** (asr-002420) Madam Chair, hindi po makakadalo ang ating chair at nag-submit po siya kahapon ng letter. **[01:45:43.520] NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit** (asr-002421) Nag-aasikaso po sila para sa International Intergovernmental Working Group sa Human Rights of Older Persons sa Geneva, Switzerland. **[01:45:55.420] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002422) Oti po yung mga commissioners. **[01:45:56.580] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002423) Oti po yung mga commissioners. Lahat nag-aasikaso dun sa paghahandang iyon. **[01:46:00.340] NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit** (asr-002424) Hindi naman po. **[01:46:03.160] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002425) So, sana yung mga commissioners na nandirito ay dumalo rin ngayong hapon sa ating hearing. **[01:46:10.480] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002426) Pakipaabot po yung feedback po ng chair. **[01:46:13.680] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002427) And aasahan po namin pati si chair at yung mga commissioners ay kasama din po natin sa budget plenary. **[01:46:21.060] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002428) Yun po ang custom dito po sa mga budget hearings. **[01:46:24.720] NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit** (asr-002429) Okay po, Madam Chair. **[01:46:25.960] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002430) Salamat. **[01:46:26.580] NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit** (asr-002431) Okay po. **[01:46:27.060] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002432) Salamat, ED. **[01:46:27.980] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002433) Anna Marie. **[01:46:28.760] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002434) Please proceed, Senator Erwin. **[01:46:29.960] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002435) Salamat. **[01:46:30.240] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002436) Kaya wala na sila dito, Madam Chair. **[01:46:32.540] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002437) Pinaubayan nila sa DSWD. **[01:46:34.880] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002438) Nandiyan naman na DSWD. **[01:46:36.820] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002439) If you will not show up your leaders, yung chairman po ninyo at commissioner, **[01:46:40.320] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002440) parang sinasabi nyo na ho, sige na, Secretary Rex na lang po magsasalita. **[01:46:44.540] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002441) Pero tama po yun, ma'am. **[01:46:45.780] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002442) Barang nakaka-insulto. **[01:46:47.240] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002443) Sabihin nyo na lang ho sa inyong chairman at saka inyong mga commissioners. **[01:46:51.160] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002444) Ano po? **[01:46:52.220] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002445) Thank you. **[01:46:52.600] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002446) Salamat, Senator Erwin. **[01:46:54.040] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002447) Actually, tingin ko. **[01:46:55.640] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002448) So, kaya naman nung dalawang ahensya, department at saka commission, **[01:47:00.380] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002449) i-resolve ito. **[01:47:01.200] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002450) Alang-alang sa kabutihan ng mga senior citizens natin. **[01:47:04.480] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002451) At yung autonomy din nung agency na itinayo para sa kanila. **[01:47:08.360] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002452) Salamat. **[01:47:08.760] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002453) Please proceed, Senator Erwin. **[01:47:09.780] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002454) Yes. **[01:47:10.220] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002455) Last two questions. **[01:47:12.320] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002456) Let's go to sustainable livelihood program. **[01:47:15.480] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002457) Binawasan po ba itong SLP ninyo, Secrex? **[01:47:20.060] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002458) Madam Chair. **[01:47:21.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002459) Madam Chair, it was restored to the NEP level. **[01:47:24.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002460) Kasi yung... **[01:47:25.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002461) Nagdagdagan po, nanggaling ho yun during the amendment period. **[01:47:29.300] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002462) How much is this po? **[01:47:30.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002463) Ayun, tanggal 1 billion. **[01:47:32.700] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002464) 1 billion, no? **[01:47:33.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002465) And 1B, no? **[01:47:35.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002466) Ang... **[01:47:35.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002467) From the original na 6B, naging 5B na lang ho siya. **[01:47:41.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002468) So, that's why we also put it in our tier 2 na sana dagdagan ho beyond even that level. **[01:47:46.420] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002469) Kasi when I was a secretary, problema na ho talaga ito sa dami po ng kailangan sa mga regional offices po na ninyo. **[01:47:54.320] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002470) Pati po yung... **[01:47:55.640] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002471) Mga LGUs na... **[01:47:57.880] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002472) Siyempre, gusto po nila na mabigyan na kabuhayan yung constituents nila. **[01:48:01.660] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002473) Nakikita po nila yun. **[01:48:03.160] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002474) Pero with limited budget. **[01:48:04.480] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002475) So, you're saying that you're requesting na probably another 1B para sa sustainable livelihood? **[01:48:09.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002476) Actually, Madam Chair, during our tier 2, pinaabot ho namin yung request namin na karagdagang 3.5B para kukam na close to 10 billion. **[01:48:17.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002477) Tama ho kayo. **[01:48:19.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002478) Madam Chair, the good senator knows this very well. **[01:48:22.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002479) Itong programa na ito, nakakatulong ito in the long run. **[01:48:25.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002480) Kasi halimbawa yung umaalis sa 4Bs, doon natin pinapasok para hindi nababalik sa kahirapan. **[01:48:30.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002481) And it's teaching them how to fish. **[01:48:32.480] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002482) Tama po yun, Madam Chair. **[01:48:34.240] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002483) Because parang grant po ito kasi, Madam Chair, itong SLP. **[01:48:39.740] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002484) Hindi kagayang sa DTI, binabayaran sila. **[01:48:42.620] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002485) Pero ito talagang ibibigay po ng DSWD para pangkabuhayan. **[01:48:46.700] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002486) Well, anyway, moving to another topic. **[01:48:49.240] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002487) Ito, medyo sensitive po ito at saka napapanahon. **[01:48:53.560] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002488) Last year po, kami po... **[01:48:55.480] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002489) Ni SP, tinaasan po namin when he was the Finance Chair, yung inyo pong Assistance for Individuals in Crisis. **[01:49:05.980] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002490) Wala pa pong gera noon. **[01:49:07.740] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002491) Wala pa pong mga sakuna, kung ano man po yan, dilubyo. **[01:49:12.340] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002492) Pero we anticipated na baka may mangyari kasi medyo nagkakagirian na po yung Amerika at Iran. **[01:49:19.080] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002493) Tama nga po yung naging desisyon na dagdagan po kayo. **[01:49:21.600] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002494) Umabot po tayo ng 63 something billion. **[01:49:24.400] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002495) Di tama nga. **[01:49:25.140] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002496) Ang presidente, kayong unang inilagay sa front line to address the problems. **[01:49:29.940] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002497) Pwede po ba ng mga ating mga transport, pambilin ng mga gasolina, yung mga OFWs natin, tumulong din po kayo. **[01:49:38.840] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002498) So talagang malaki po na gastos po ninyo doon. **[01:49:42.460] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002499) Pero nagtataka lang po ako, binawasan po sa NEP ninyo. **[01:49:47.120] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002500) Pero dinagdagan naman na umabot na po sa 30 something billion. **[01:49:50.980] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002501) Well, that is sufficient enough. **[01:49:53.260] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002502) We're anticipating right now. **[01:49:55.140] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002503) Paparating po itong El Nino. **[01:49:57.660] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002504) Tapos ito pong gyera sa Iran, di pa po tapos. **[01:50:00.440] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002505) Hindi natin alam kung hanggang kailan po ito. **[01:50:03.220] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002506) Baka ikang umabot na rito. **[01:50:05.360] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002507) Pati nga po yung Yemen, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, mga Houthis. **[01:50:11.860] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002508) Kung saan saan na ho nag-ikang umugat itong problema nito. **[01:50:15.320] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002509) Meron tayong yun. **[01:50:16.540] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002510) Yung El Nino, tapos hindi pa po natin alam kung ano talagang epekto nito. **[01:50:23.400] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002511) So, papano ito? **[01:50:25.480] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002512) What are you planning? **[01:50:26.740] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002513) Is it enough? **[01:50:27.800] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002514) Is it enough na dinagdagan po sa gab? **[01:50:30.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002515) Unfortunately, una po, Madam Chair, **[01:50:32.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002516) gusto kong magpasalamat kay Senator Erwin, **[01:50:35.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002517) kay Senator Sherwin dahil binalik ko yan na dinagdagan. **[01:50:38.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002518) Yung dinagdag ho naging standby fund natin. **[01:50:40.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002519) Nung kasagsagan nito, at hindi ko naman pwede sabihin natapos na, **[01:50:43.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002520) nung sa transport sector alone, **[01:50:45.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002521) close to 10 billion in one month ang ginamit natin para sa mga transport workers natin. **[01:50:51.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002522) Doon natin kinuha yun. **[01:50:53.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002523) It became our lifeline. **[01:50:55.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002524) So, kaya naka-respond tayo kaagad. **[01:50:56.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002525) In fact, nagpa-quick survey ho ang SWS tulad na nabanggit ko kanina. **[01:51:01.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002526) 96% of the respondents doon sa catchment said, **[01:51:04.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002527) ginamit nila yung pera para magpatuloy ng hanap buhay. **[01:51:07.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002528) 80% naman ang sinabi, ginamit nila yun para makabili ng pagkain nung nangangailangan sila. **[01:51:13.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002529) So, ngayon nangangamba ho kami sa pagbawas na meron nga triple whammy na ina-anticipate, **[01:51:18.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002530) pero nabawasan naman ho kami. **[01:51:19.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002531) Kaya nga ho, maraming salamat sa tanong na dumudulog kami ngayon ulit **[01:51:22.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002532) sa Komitee at sa Senado na sana ibalik man lang doon sa level ng GAAP last year. **[01:51:30.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002533) Kahit ngayon, very tight na eh. **[01:51:33.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002534) Pero kung talagang tight fiscal space, maibalik man lang doon. **[01:51:36.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002535) Palagay ko, mas kakayanin natin ng konti po. **[01:51:39.360] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002536) Will that sustain isa ka sakali? **[01:51:42.080] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002537) I mean, ang pinag-usapan lang kasi natin, in-anticipate natin po yung El Niño. **[01:51:46.680] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002538) Pero paano kung may mga darating pa ng mga dilubyok at baka magkakaroon pa po ng gera, **[01:51:51.160] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002539) hindi ho natin alam. **[01:51:52.720] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002540) Will that be sufficient na ikanga para, kasi kayo po laging pag may mga ganito sitwasyon, **[01:51:59.660] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002541) DSWD, nandoon ho kayo sa front line. **[01:52:02.500] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002542) May problema po ang mga magsasakan natin, DSWD, natulong din po. **[01:52:06.660] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002543) Mangingis na, DSWD pa rin ho. **[01:52:08.840] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002544) So, ano ho, what is your take on this? **[01:52:14.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002545) Sabi ko ho ito sa House, nung pinatawag ho kami during the budget season, **[01:52:17.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002546) nangangamba rin ho kami. **[01:52:20.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002547) Nangangamba kami na yung natira na, **[01:52:22.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002548) eh maaaring hindi sasapat, kaya dumudulog ho kami na sana ibalik man lang, **[01:52:26.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002549) man lang, to the minimum sa gaal level. **[01:52:30.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002550) Madam Chair, tama ho kayo na kulang kung titignan. **[01:52:34.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002551) Pero gusto ko rin ho i-assure yung committee na kung mabalik ho yun, **[01:52:37.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002552) kaya naman namin i-balance siya with the quick response. **[01:52:42.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002553) Kasi kanina nabanggit na rin ho yung quick response. **[01:52:44.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002554) Dahil the quick response, kami ho ang pinaka, DSWD po ang pinakamalaking user po noon. **[01:52:49.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002555) So, pinagsasabay ho namin gamitin yan. **[01:52:51.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002556) Pero admittedly, kahit tignan nyo yung quick response, **[01:52:53.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002557) by this time, medyo konti na rin ho yung balance ng Ndream Fund. **[01:52:58.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002558) Meron pa, pero konti na. **[01:53:00.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002559) Now, Madam Chair, there was a year na binibigyan kami ng Office of, **[01:53:04.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002560) which is, hindi naman dapat, **[01:53:06.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002561) but binibigyan kami rin ng contingency fund galing sa Office of the President to augment. **[01:53:11.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002562) Pero alam ko po yung sinasabi nyo na paano pag hindi kayo bigyan, **[01:53:15.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002563) eh di mabibitin ho. **[01:53:16.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002564) And kung pwede ho, dagdagan pa beyond the gaal level because of the anticipated, **[01:53:21.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002565) inflationary effects na tuloy-tuloy. **[01:53:24.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002566) Yung El Nino na not just the farmers, but the prices of goods and food actually, **[01:53:30.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002567) baka tumaas rin. **[01:53:32.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002568) And then, meron pa ho yung sunod-sunod na mga regular ho na mga pangangailangan, **[01:53:36.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002569) talagang kukulangin po. **[01:53:38.340] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002570) Alright. **[01:53:39.400] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002571) Yung QRF ho na nabanggit ho ninyo last year, **[01:53:43.040] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002572) nung nagkagulo na nga po, nagkagero na nga. **[01:53:45.520] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002573) I called my good friend, Yuseca Dayan Cahipe. **[01:53:50.120] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002574) Sabi niya, meron pa naman. **[01:53:51.320] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002575) Sen, may budget pa. **[01:53:53.240] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002576) Pero kailangan lang i-juggle siguro yung Secretary Rex Gatchal yan. **[01:53:57.200] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002577) Kumusta naman po itong QRF ninyo? **[01:53:59.260] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002578) Nabawasan ba? **[01:54:00.900] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002579) Ninagdagan ba? **[01:54:02.160] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002580) Kailangan ba medyo malaki-laki? **[01:54:04.220] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002581) Just in case po. **[01:54:05.100] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002582) Just in case. **[01:54:05.680] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002583) Hindi naman natin ikang pinagdarasal na sana dumating lahat itong problema. **[01:54:11.160] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002584) Pero will that be sufficient po itong QRF? **[01:54:14.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002585) Sen, Madam Chair. **[01:54:16.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002586) Una po, nagpapasalamatin kami sa inyo. **[01:54:18.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002587) Dahil yung standby fund na seed capital ng QRF, nilakihan ho nyo last time. **[01:54:23.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002588) Umabot na ho ng 3 billion yun. **[01:54:25.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002589) Crucial ho kasi yun dahil yung replenishment mechanism takes around, **[01:54:30.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002590) magbilis na ho ngayon. **[01:54:31.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002591) But syempre meron hong documentation. **[01:54:33.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002592) Umabot ng 2 weeks. **[01:54:35.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002593) So in that 2 weeks time, maraming pwedeng mangyari. **[01:54:38.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002594) Nag-aantay yung beneficiaryo. **[01:54:40.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002595) Pero kaya nga ho, natuwa kami na sa house, ibinalik sa 3 billion. **[01:54:45.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002596) From 1.5, ibinalik sa 2.1. **[01:54:48.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002597) 1.5, 1.25, ibinalik ulit sa 3. **[01:54:52.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002598) Kasi that gives us the leg room na yung term nyo, mabalans eh. **[01:54:56.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002599) So habang humihingi kami ng replenishment, tuloy-tuloy pa rin activity sa baba **[01:55:00.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002600) sa pagbayad ng emergency cash transfer. **[01:55:02.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002601) Pero kung tatanungin niyo ako kung kasha, **[01:55:05.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002602) if you look at the balance ng Ndream Fund right now, **[01:55:10.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002603) ang natitira na lang ho na balance ng Ndream Fund is 900 million. **[01:55:15.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002604) Kasi hindi lang ho kami ang gumagamit noon. **[01:55:17.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002605) Marami hong gumagamit. **[01:55:18.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002606) Pero there was a prior year, huwag ho tayo not to raise the worry of anybody. **[01:55:24.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002607) Meron rin hong year na replenish ho yan ng Office of the President using their contingency fund. **[01:55:29.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002608) So meron ho siyang back-to-back na alam naman ho ng Office of the President **[01:55:33.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002609) na pag mababa na yun, ginalagyan rin ho nila ng pera. **[01:55:36.920] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002610) I think I've also experienced that, Secretary, when I was a Secretary of DSW, **[01:55:41.180] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002611) nagsunod-sunod na po, may earthquake po sa Abra **[01:55:44.240] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002612) and then may landslide po sa... **[01:55:47.200] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002613) sa Barm, sa Maguindanao. **[01:55:52.300] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002614) So sunod-sunod din. **[01:55:53.180] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002615) I am very aware na yung pondo na yan, pinabibili po ng mga food packs, **[01:55:58.080] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002616) sobrang dami pagkatapos yung mga, syempre, materials sa mga bahay. **[01:56:02.940] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002617) So yun lang ho yung concern natin. **[01:56:05.460] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002618) What if, hindi pa natin alam, hindi pa natin ma-estimate itong damage na gagawin po ng ilin ninyo na ito. **[01:56:11.320] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002619) Pero will you agree with me, mas maganda siguro na prepared ho tayo na meron tayong pera, **[01:56:17.260] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002620) sa bulsa, na ipamimigay, itutulog sa mga kababayan natin. **[01:56:20.540] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002621) Because, who never know, hindi lang naman magsasaka maapektuhan dito. **[01:56:24.440] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002622) Pati siguro yung mga fisher folks natin, pati po yung ordinary yung tao, di po ba, **[01:56:29.900] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002623) na kailangan may mga pampagamot, di ba, kaya sa sobrang init. **[01:56:33.740] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002624) So kaya kailangan siguro natin na tag-aralan at dagdagan mo siguro. **[01:56:37.840] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002625) So how much are we looking at dito sa, yung sabi nyo kanina, sa AX, kahit na kung hindi abot mo ng 63, mga nasa 50. **[01:56:47.200] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002626) Sa QRF, ilan ho ang dapat? **[01:56:50.120] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002627) Yung ikang napupwede para hindi ho tayo nangangamba, hindi ka nangangamba. **[01:56:56.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002628) Madam Chair, yung balikan ko lang yung AX ho, since nabalik ho ulit, sana mabalik man lang sa 63. **[01:57:01.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002629) That's our minimum sana. Huwag na ho bababa sana doon. **[01:57:04.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002630) Kasi as it is right now, nauubos ho yun. **[01:57:06.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002631) Now, dito lang sa Quick Response Fund. **[01:57:09.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002632) Just to give you an idea, kanina na-flash naman ho namin, naka 13.6 billion na ho ang DSWD alone. **[01:57:16.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002633) Hindi pa ho kasama. **[01:57:17.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002634) Tama yung mga ibang ahensya na kumukuha ho doon. **[01:57:19.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002635) So tama ho kayo, sana matignan rin ho yun kung paano siya i-beef up. **[01:57:24.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002636) Kasi from my understanding, it is a percentage of the, mayroon siyang fixed formula po siya. **[01:57:31.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002637) So I think we will be restrained by the N-DREAM law kung paano siya ilalakihan. **[01:57:37.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002638) Pero kung mabibisita po, much better. **[01:57:41.220] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002639) Okay. Thank you po. **[01:57:43.260] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002640) Finally po, isa na lamang nga talaga, Madam Chair. **[01:57:46.320] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002641) Sige po. **[01:57:47.200] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002642) All right. **[01:57:48.060] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002643) Yun pong pondo po, kasama na po ba dito sa OSEC ito, yung para sa pagpapagawa ninyo sana, **[01:57:58.760] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002644) na you were discussing with me, ng home for the elderly sa Visayas region, Secretary? **[01:58:05.520] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002645) That's a very, very good idea po for our cities. **[01:58:09.640] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002646) Kasi dito sa Metro Manila, meron po tayo, diba, yung Golden Acres. **[01:58:13.740] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002647) Sa Visayas po, kayo nakaisip noon na gusto rin yun. **[01:58:17.200] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002648) Ang lagyan para yung mga na-abandon na na, na mga matatanda, meron silang shelter sa Visayas. **[01:58:23.600] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002649) Nakasama na po ba ito sa OSEC budget na inaprubahan din po ng, dumaan na rin sa GAB? **[01:58:29.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002650) Unfortunately, hindi ho nakasama dahil karamihan ho ng budget na nasa OSEC are grants. **[01:58:34.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002651) Yan ho marami ho dyan are grants. Wala halos na capital expenditure. **[01:58:39.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002652) Nag-submit kami ng Tier 2. **[01:58:41.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002653) Ang request nga ho namin is to construct itong home for the aged. **[01:58:45.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002654) Pangalawa, to also repair yung mga existing. **[01:58:47.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002655) Ang listing din ho natin. **[01:58:48.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002656) But it was not considered. **[01:58:51.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002657) That's why we're lobbying again and it's part of our submission na sana mapigyan ho ng atensyon when the period of amendments comes into play. **[01:58:59.000] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002658) Hindi po napasama ito sa capital outlay ninyo for 2027? **[01:59:03.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002659) Wala ho, hindi ho siya na take up. **[01:59:05.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002660) Wala ho sa NEP namin. **[01:59:07.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002661) Wala rin ho sa HGAB. **[01:59:09.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002662) Pero nasa Tier 2 po namin. **[01:59:11.380] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002663) Alright. Thank you, Secretary. **[01:59:13.200] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002664) Well, anyway, Madam Chair, I really do support. **[01:59:16.900] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002665) Ito pong budget ng DSWD. **[01:59:21.460] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002666) And kung ako pong tatanungin nyo as a DSWD Secretary, sakit po talaga sa ulo pag may mga dilubyo. **[01:59:27.920] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002667) Kinakabahan po ang Secretary dahil una pong tinatawagan ka agad ng Pangulo ang kalihim po ng DSWD na tinatanong kung kumusta. **[01:59:36.620] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002668) So early in the morning, 4 o'clock, 5 o'clock, sumatawag na po ang Malacanang at kinukumusta. **[01:59:42.360] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002669) Anyway, I know the feeling as Secretary. **[01:59:44.760] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002670) But I do support. **[01:59:46.040] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002671) But Madam Chair, and then hopefully sa plenary, we can add yung mga wish list po nila. **[01:59:53.140] Senator Erwin T. Tulfo** (asr-002672) Thank you, Madam Chair. **[01:59:54.260] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002673) Thank you, Senator Erwin. Pagtulungan po natin yan. **[01:59:56.600] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002674) So now, ang salamat sa pasensya ninyo. **[01:59:59.420] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002675) It's the turn. **[02:00:00.000] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002676) of the Senate President. **[02:00:01.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002677) Thank you, Madam Chairperson. **[02:00:04.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002678) Sundan ko po yung mga tanong **[02:00:05.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002679) ni Senator Erwin **[02:00:06.820] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002680) dahil marami po siyang importanteng **[02:00:09.820] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002681) points na na-raise **[02:00:12.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002682) one of which itong **[02:00:13.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T.

Gatchalian** (asr-002685) Wait, can we **[02:00:19.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002686) flash it for a sec? **[02:00:23.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002687) Na **[02:00:24.000] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002688) nabibigay sa QRF **[02:00:28.160] Senator Sherwin "Win" T.

Gatchalian** (asr-002693) 13. So, it's almost **[02:00:37.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002694) 4 times the amount **[02:00:39.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T.

Gatchalian** (asr-002701) and then **[02:01:03.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002702) 13 billion ang replenishment **[02:01:05.700] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002703) This is September, di pa tayo tapos **[02:01:07.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002704) ang taon **[02:01:08.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002705) Earlier, we had a hearing **[02:01:12.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002706) with the Department of Agriculture **[02:01:14.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T.

Gatchalian** (asr-002713) by El Nino **[02:01:27.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002714) So, nako-conserve **[02:01:29.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T.

Gatchalian** (asr-002717) but in this case, makikita natin na **[02:01:36.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002718) ganito kalaki **[02:01:37.160] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002719) yung replenishment **[02:01:39.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002720) and kung ibabangga natin **[02:01:42.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002721) ito sa 2027 **[02:01:43.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002722) it's only 1.25 billion **[02:01:46.220] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002723) So, obviously **[02:01:47.700] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002724) obviously **[02:01:50.180] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002725) magre-replenish yan **[02:01:51.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002726) and **[02:01:52.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002727) like I said in my opening speech **[02:01:56.220] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002728) in El Nino, umpisa pa lang **[02:01:57.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T.

Gatchalian** (asr-002731) in-expect natin na mas **[02:02:03.000] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002732) sasabay ito doon **[02:02:06.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T.

Gatchalian** (asr-002737) mga natural calamities **[02:02:15.880] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002738) So, **[02:02:17.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002739) gusto ko lang i-point out **[02:02:19.820] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002740) yan and **[02:02:21.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002741) when we were looking at the **[02:02:24.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002742) NEP **[02:02:25.160] Senator Sherwin "Win" T.

Gatchalian** (asr-002745) Yan ang source ng replenishment **[02:02:30.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002746) nabawasan siya ng 9 billion **[02:02:32.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002747) from NEP to GAB **[02:02:33.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002748) Center Tulfo **[02:02:36.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002749) So, this is a **[02:02:38.180] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002750) for me, a concerning **[02:02:39.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T.

Gatchalian** (asr-002755) maybe in the next 6 to 12 months **[02:02:52.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002756) because of El Nino **[02:02:54.840] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002757) but yan again **[02:02:55.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002758) nabawasan ng 9.5 billion **[02:02:58.360] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002759) yung N-DREAM Fund **[02:02:59.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002760) of which yan ang source ng department **[02:03:02.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002761) pag nagre-replenish **[02:03:04.160] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002762) So, in other words **[02:03:05.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002763) the point I'm trying to make **[02:03:07.200] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002764) agawan na nga yung **[02:03:08.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002765) N-DREAM Fund **[02:03:10.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002766) and nakita natin dito sa replenishment **[02:03:12.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002767) at the same time **[02:03:14.220] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002768) nabawasan pa **[02:03:15.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002769) So, yun yung isang bagay na **[02:03:17.600] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002770) we will work here in the Senate **[02:03:20.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002771) na mabalik ma-restore yung **[02:03:22.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002772) NEP level ng N-DREAM **[02:03:23.940] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002773) dahil nakikita ko in the next 12 months **[02:03:26.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002774) talagang kakalanganin natin **[02:03:28.360] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002775) ang standby fund **[02:03:30.180] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002776) for the support **[02:03:32.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002777) to our constituents **[02:03:33.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002778) especially our farmers, fisher folks **[02:03:36.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002779) yung mga **[02:03:38.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002780) tinamaan ng inflation **[02:03:42.600] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002781) alam ko nagbigay rin kayo **[02:03:44.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002782) ng tulong dun sa mga poor **[02:03:46.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002783) and near poor, which is about **[02:03:47.740] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002784) 3 million families, tama ba? **[02:03:50.000] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002785) In total, 7.5 million **[02:03:51.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002786) 7.5 families **[02:03:52.740] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002787) Hindi pa tayo kasi tapos sa inflationary effects **[02:03:56.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002788) Nandiyan pa siya **[02:03:58.360] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002789) and yun naman ang binabantayan natin **[02:04:00.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002790) dahil inflation **[02:04:01.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002791) can push our **[02:04:04.260] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002792) push our efforts **[02:04:07.200] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002793) to lower down poverty incidents back **[02:04:09.260] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002794) So, we need to make sure **[02:04:10.840] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002795) that we have that resources **[02:04:12.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002796) para matulungan natin sila **[02:04:14.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002797) at least temporarily **[02:04:17.420] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002798) o pangtawid lang hanggang matapos tayo **[02:04:19.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002799) dito sa mga crisis na hinaharap natin **[02:04:21.600] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002800) So, I just want to **[02:04:23.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002801) put that on record na **[02:04:25.340] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002802) we need to restore **[02:04:26.360] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002803) itong N-DREAM Fund **[02:04:28.200] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002804) na nabawasan **[02:04:29.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002805) ng 9.5 billion pesos **[02:04:31.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002806) I agree Madam Chair **[02:04:35.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002807) with the observation **[02:04:36.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002808) In fact, isa ko yan sana sa pabanggitin namin **[02:04:38.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002809) pero naunahan na ho kami **[02:04:39.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002810) dahil nga the DSWD uses the replenishment **[02:04:43.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002811) not just for emergency cash transfer **[02:04:45.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002812) pero yung mga food packs na pinamimigay natin **[02:04:47.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002813) at saka yung mga logistics costs **[02:04:49.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002814) entailed to it, doon rin ho namin kinukuha **[02:04:51.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002815) and it will severely impair **[02:04:53.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002816) our, not just kami **[02:04:54.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002817) everybody, any department **[02:04:56.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002818) tapped into the N-DREAM Funds **[02:04:58.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002819) will be impaired in responding **[02:05:00.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002820) to any crisis **[02:05:01.740] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002821) And then I saw dito doon sa slide nyo **[02:05:04.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002822) ginamit nito for disaster affected families **[02:05:07.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002823) so marami dito **[02:05:09.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002824) prepositioning of goods **[02:05:11.420] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002825) So, it's really **[02:05:14.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002826) sabi nga ni Sen. Erwin **[02:05:15.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002827) kailangan na kailangan ito **[02:05:16.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002828) dahil pag may mga ganitong disaster **[02:05:18.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002829) ang unang tinatawagan **[02:05:20.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002830) DSWD Secretary **[02:05:22.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002831) at hindi lang naman **[02:05:23.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002832) pag may disaster na **[02:05:24.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002833) dapat yung goods naka-preposition **[02:05:26.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002834) or else **[02:05:27.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002835) paano naman magre-responde **[02:05:29.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002836) ang gobyerno kung walang goods **[02:05:31.260] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002837) na naka-preposition **[02:05:32.600] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002838) My next question **[02:05:36.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002839) is also related doon sa mga **[02:05:38.420] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002840) tanong ni Sen. Erwin **[02:05:39.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002841) on 4Ps **[02:05:41.200] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002842) Nakita ko dito sa **[02:05:44.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002843) sa **[02:05:45.460] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002844) sa budget **[02:05:49.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002845) and na **[02:05:51.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002846) ang budget ng 4Ps **[02:05:53.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002847) nabawasan ng 13 billion **[02:05:54.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002848) and it's a good thing **[02:05:55.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002849) kasi gusto natin nababawasan **[02:05:57.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002850) ng mahihirap sa ating bansa **[02:05:59.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002851) ang goal naman ng **[02:06:01.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002852) 4Ps is pantawid eh **[02:06:03.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002853) ibig sabihin hanggang **[02:06:05.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002854) makatawid ang ating mga pamilya **[02:06:07.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002855) sa kanilang kakayahan **[02:06:09.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002856) andyan yung gobyerno **[02:06:11.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002857) para bigyan sila ng tulong **[02:06:13.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002858) So, nabawasan siya ng **[02:06:16.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002859) ng 13 billion **[02:06:19.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002860) and before it was about **[02:06:22.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002861) 4.1 million household **[02:06:24.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002862) ngayon ang target is about 3.5 **[02:06:27.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002866) So may we get an update kung **[02:06:29.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002867) ano ba ang nakikita natin **[02:06:35.180] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002868) Direksyon ng 4Ps **[02:06:36.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002869) and ano ba yung mga **[02:06:37.860] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002870) naging magagandang **[02:06:41.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002871) bacta ng **[02:06:43.260] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002872) 4Ps **[02:06:44.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002873) Madam Chair. **[02:06:45.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002874) Mt. Sen goes **[02:06:46.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002875) The Sen. is correct **[02:06:47.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002876) Nabawasan po pero **[02:06:48.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002877) just for the record **[02:06:49.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002878) hindi ho dahil **[02:06:50.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002879) yung programa ay **[02:06:52.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002880) Hindi hamaapekto nyo yung program **[02:06:54.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002881) Ang instructo ng ating Pangulo **[02:06:55.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002882) to make sure na reflective yung numero ng four-piece family sa poverty incidents. **[02:07:00.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002883) So this was the poverty incidents pangaho na 15.5%. **[02:07:05.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002884) Hindi pangaho yung 9% kasi kakalabas lang nung 9%. **[02:07:08.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002885) So nung una ho kasi, that number has been pegged for the longest time at 4.4 million families, **[02:07:14.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002886) no matter kung anuman ang naging poverty incidents. **[02:07:17.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002887) So ang direktiba ng ating Pangulo is to make sure that the list is clean. **[02:07:22.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002888) Kasi nung sinimulan to ni Sen Erwin, lumabas lang siya but memorize niya to, **[02:07:27.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002889) sinimulan niya yung cleaning of the list. **[02:07:30.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002890) So tinuloy ho natin nung pumasok tayo but we did it also through proper case management. **[02:07:36.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002891) Ang nangyari ho dito, we hired more nung dumating ho kami na pagbigyan tayo natamihan yung mga case managers natin, **[02:07:44.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002892) yung mga city links natin. **[02:07:45.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002893) They are the lifeline of the program kasi sila yung nagmamonitor kung pwede na i-exit. **[02:07:50.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002894) So ngayon, kapag i-exit, **[02:07:52.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002895) na-exit na tayo ng 1.77 million. **[02:07:55.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002896) That's from 2022 all the way to 2025. **[02:08:00.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002897) Prior to that, ang na-exit lang sa programa was 15,000 families. **[02:08:04.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002898) So napakalayo na ho nung numero. **[02:08:06.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002899) Now, the updates to the program, number one, the case management has been strengthened. **[02:08:13.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002900) More social workers and development workers doing case management. **[02:08:18.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002901) Para yung mga dapat ma-exit, pwede nang ma-exit. **[02:08:20.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002902) Pangalawa, **[02:08:22.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002903) yung in-automate rin ho natin, and it's live now, the system is live. **[02:08:26.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002904) Dati-rati ho kasi, there are 14 systems that do not talk to each other. **[02:08:31.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002905) Kaya matagal yung grants na napukuha. **[02:08:33.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002906) Right now, the new system that we call 4Ps Forward is already live. **[02:08:37.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002907) It will take full effect by December. **[02:08:40.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002908) Anong kakaiba sa system na to? **[02:08:42.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002909) It's fully integrated. **[02:08:43.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002910) So from the time you register as a beneficiary all the way to payout, **[02:08:46.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002911) wala na hong download, encode, upload, wala na hong ganon. **[02:08:50.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002912) So we've armed our 14... **[02:08:52.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002913) 15,000 na mga links, case managers, with an iPad, with a tablet, and a laptop. **[02:09:00.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002914) Kasi nga, there's no point in buying a new system if you don't arm them with hardware. **[02:09:06.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002915) So kompleto na ho sila. **[02:09:08.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002916) So the beauty of that is, kung dati-rati nag-aantay ho ang ating mga grantees **[02:09:13.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002917) ng almost 60 days to 75 days to get their grants, **[02:09:16.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002918) in the new system, makukuha na nila yung health grant nila at rise subsidy nila **[02:09:21.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002919) within the same month, or 45 days, within 45 days. **[02:09:25.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002920) Now, also, meron ho itong collateral benefits sa DepEd. **[02:09:29.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002921) The new system is now self-contained. **[02:09:31.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002922) Kasi dati, kinukomplain ng DepEd na yung mga guro nila ang gumagawa ng compliance, **[02:09:36.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002923) kaya napaka-volumous nung report doon sa EDUC grant. **[02:09:39.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002924) So nababawasan yung oras nila magturo. **[02:09:41.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002925) So by the end of the year, it will be beneficiaries-driven na. **[02:09:45.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002926) Hindi na kami aasa sa mga guro natin na gumawa ng report, **[02:09:48.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002927) kundi yung report card na mismo ng mga bata, **[02:09:51.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002928) ng ating mga magulang, during the family development session, **[02:09:55.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002929) scan, update the record, you get your education grant. **[02:09:58.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002930) Sa health grant, ganun din. **[02:09:59.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002931) They will have their own booklets na hindi na kami aasa sa mga DOH barangay doctors **[02:10:04.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002932) kasi ang dami na nilang ginagawa. **[02:10:06.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002933) So the system is self-contained and it's more efficient. **[02:10:09.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002934) Now, we are also coming up with a support program for the child-monitored children. **[02:10:16.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002935) Nakita natin sa datos, and alam ko, alam to ng Senate President, **[02:10:19.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002936) pagdating sa comparison ng studies between four-piece and non-four-piece sa basic ed, **[02:10:26.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002937) pantay, near universal. **[02:10:28.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002938) Pagdating sa secondary ed, education, **[02:10:31.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002939) the four-piece beneficiaries does slightly better than non-four-piece beneficiaries, **[02:10:36.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002940) pero sabay rin silang bumabagsak pagdating sa tertiary education. **[02:10:40.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002941) Ang maganda hong nagpapasalamat kami dahil sa new tertiary amendments to the TES, **[02:10:45.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002942) e ngayon talagang categorical na sinabi na four-piece not listed. **[02:10:49.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002943) So talagang, we've already embarked on a massive education campaign to our beneficiaries to avail of this service. **[02:10:56.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002944) Pero during my talks with the beneficiaries, marami sa kanila pa rin ang sinasabi, **[02:11:00.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002945) yung cost of going to school is the problem. **[02:11:03.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002946) Kasi marami sa kanila na sa mga bundok, so they have to, bundok at isla, **[02:11:07.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002947) or geographically isolated and disadvantaged area, **[02:11:10.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002948) luluwa sila sa mga capital or city centers para mag-dorm, para mag-aral. **[02:11:15.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002949) So the program has a distinct feature. **[02:11:19.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002950) It's called the Enhanced Support Service Intervention. **[02:11:23.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002951) Nung dumating ako nandiyan na ho yan, it's enshrined in the guideline. **[02:11:26.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002952) Madati, yung pondo na yun, it's part of the budget already, we're not going to ask for more. **[02:11:30.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002953) Ginagamit lang yan sa a varied myriad of things. **[02:11:34.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002954) May livelihood, okay naman, merong support, other support. **[02:11:38.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002955) Now we've converted it and we're launching it come December. **[02:11:42.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002956) It's called the Tuloy Program, meaning Tuloy Kolehyo, Tuloy Aral at Tuloy Trabaho. **[02:11:48.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002957) So we, consulting with development experts, we will now come up with yung mga monitored children. **[02:11:56.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002958) If they can show that nag-enroll sila, then we will give them a one-time 10,000 grant na 10,000 assistance para mag-tuloy ng kolehyo. **[02:12:04.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002959) Now, succeedingly, if they continue to stay in college, then they can show the attendance through the requirements we'll ask for. **[02:12:11.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002960) Tuloy Aral naman, they get additional 5,000 that they can use together with the allowance they get from TES **[02:12:17.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002961) to support **[02:12:18.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002963) their course of studying. **[02:12:20.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002964) And last, Tuloy Trabaho is when they do graduate out of college, we give them another one-time grant na 10,000 so that they can embark on career, **[02:12:32.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002965) meaning to get the requirements, whatever pre-employment requirements they need. **[02:12:36.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002966) So, in-enhance lang namin yung program to make sure that we lengthen the horizon at matuloy talaga yung pag-aaral nila. **[02:12:42.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002967) Now, I know I've said a lot, but those are the program enhancements, but if you're looking for the impacts, we can flash **[02:12:48.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002968) on the screen the impacts. **[02:12:51.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002969) Kanina ko ba sinabi? **[02:12:52.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002970) Who's the impacts? **[02:12:58.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002971) Akin yung impact. **[02:13:01.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002972) Kanina pala sinabi, hindi mo nalimot. **[02:13:04.740] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002973) Ito ba yung page 9 nyo sa CREX? **[02:13:07.120] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-002974) Okay, there we are. **[02:13:07.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002975) So, after 18 years, very, very clear na ho yung mga impacts, numerous impact assessments have been done. **[02:13:14.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002976) First things first, the World Bank has already said, **[02:13:17.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002977) na number one, the four-piece program can be attributed to 2.2% poverty reduction. **[02:13:25.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002978) Its cost per, its rate of return is also one of the better ones for the government. **[02:13:31.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002979) Ano saan ba yan? **[02:13:33.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002980) Yes, sir. **[02:13:34.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002981) Hindi ko nga makita **[02:13:34.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002982) Which page? **[02:13:36.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002983) ... **[02:13:37.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002984) ... **[02:13:39.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002985) Nasaan ito ba? **[02:13:40.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002986) ... **[02:13:42.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002987) So, again, the rate of return is one of the better ones. **[02:13:45.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002988) And then, **[02:13:47.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002989) So, these are independent assessments done by so many groups. **[02:13:51.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002990) Also, there's a World Bank study that is already published that says, **[02:13:55.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002991) number one, our four-piece children compared to our non-four-piece children stay in school longer by almost **[02:14:02.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002992) 53% of our former youth beneficiaries earn the bachelor's degree versus 31% for non-beneficiaries. **[02:14:13.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002993) So, that means they're staying in school and completing their college education. **[02:14:17.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002994) Then, 44% of those na beneficiaries namin end up with permanent jobs, nearly double the non-four-piece na beneficiaries. **[02:14:28.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002995) 25% lang yun, kami 44%. **[02:14:30.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002996) So, meaning nakakapagtrabaho sila, so natutuloy na yung pagputol ng intergenerational poverty. **[02:14:36.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002997) And last, they also cited the 55% of our young women, former young four-piece beneficiaries, **[02:14:44.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002998) achieve permanent employment compared to 33%. **[02:14:47.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-002999) So, nakikita na po natin yung fruition ng programa. **[02:14:52.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003000) Although early, pero 18 years later, nasusukat na natin concretely na nabibreak yung intergenerational poverty. **[02:15:00.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003001) Beyond the numbers that I showed kanina, how many thousands graduated, these numbers speak for the program's fruition of breaking intergenerational poverty. **[02:15:09.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003002) Also, in the PSA study, sorry, not the PSA study, the latest FIES of PSA, they cited five things why poverty also went down to 9%. **[02:15:24.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003003) First, in a household, you would get foreign remittance, so yung mga OFW nila nakamag-anak, entrepreneurship, nakapaghanap ng hanap buhay, **[02:15:35.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003004) the controlled prices dahil inflation was low, but one of the reasons they also cited is cash transfers. **[02:15:43.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003005) And a big chunk of that in protecting the households and pulling them out of poverty was cash transfer. **[02:15:49.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003006) And attributable yan to a big chunk sa 4Ps. **[02:15:54.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003007) Thank you for those answers. **[02:16:01.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003008) Actually, itong program na ito, ang isang programa na pag bumaba ba yung budget, natutuwa ko eh. **[02:16:08.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003009) Dahil alam natin na bumaba ba yung bilang ng mahihirap sa ating bansa. **[02:16:13.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003010) Of course, malayo pa tayo with 3.5 million poorest of the poor family. **[02:16:20.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003011) But tutuwa ko dahil 1.7 million ang... **[02:16:24.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003012) na ilabas natin sa poorest of the poor category. **[02:16:28.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003013) Ngayon, my next question is, how do we continue the gains? **[02:16:35.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003014) This is related to what I said earlier, which is El Nino. **[02:16:39.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003015) And also, yung last PSA poverty survey was 2025. **[02:16:47.200] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003016) Wala pang gera ng era nun. **[02:16:49.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003017) Wala pa tayong El Nino. **[02:16:51.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003018) Wala pa tayong 7.5 inflation. **[02:16:54.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003019) 2025, actually, mababa ang inflation natin at that time. **[02:16:58.280] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003020) Inflation is a, I would call it, is a poverty, it can cause poverty in our country. **[02:17:09.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003021) So, how do we maintain yung pababa na trajectory ng poverty reduction natin? **[02:17:21.600] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003022) I'll start off with El Nino. **[02:17:24.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003023) And then, I also want to understand anong ginagawa ng department to prepare for this El Nino. **[02:17:31.700] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003024) Kanina sinabi ni Secretary na they're looking at... **[02:17:35.700] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003025) Secretary Kiko Laurela, they're looking at... **[02:17:44.360] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003026) close to 350,000 affected farmers. **[02:17:52.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003027) No? **[02:17:53.160] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003028) So, medyo... **[02:17:54.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003029) Malaki-laki yun. **[02:18:00.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003030) And, of course, itong affected farmers, **[02:18:04.200] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003031) mawawalan sila ng trabaho, mawawalan sila ng livelihood. **[02:18:07.260] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003032) So, how are we preparing for that? **[02:18:09.640] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-003033) Secrex, bago kayo sumagot, gusto lang i-acknowledge ng chair, **[02:18:13.420] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-003034) yung presensya ng aming Finance Committee Chair, Senator JV. **[02:18:18.420] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-003035) Salamat sa pagdalo ninyo. **[02:18:20.060] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-003036) At presensya din ni Senator Bong Go. **[02:18:23.240] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-003037) Salamat kayo, Senator. **[02:18:24.320] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-003038) Thank you, Senator Bong, for joining us. **[02:18:26.760] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-003039) After yung itong first round ni SP, tanongin ko kayo dalawa kung gusto nyo mag-opening remarks. **[02:18:33.660] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-003040) When the... **[02:18:35.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003041) Ang sabi pala ni Secretary Kiko Laurela is 4 million farmers can be affected at the worst case scenario. **[02:18:42.600] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003042) And we have 10 million workers in the agriculture industry. **[02:18:47.180] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003043) Dahil nga, iba, drought eh. **[02:18:48.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003044) Wala silang pwedeng pagtaniman. **[02:18:53.220] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003045) At... **[02:18:53.460] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003046) Talagang magkakaroon tayo ng widespread unemployment kung at the worst case scenario. **[02:18:59.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003047) So, two questions. **[02:19:01.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003048) One is, how do we prevent El Nino? **[02:19:04.420] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003049) Or how do we mitigate El Nino in terms of poverty reduction? **[02:19:08.160] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003050) And how are we addressing El Nino this coming next few months? **[02:19:12.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003051) Madam Sir, bago ko siguro masagot yung El Nino, **[02:19:15.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003052) lagay ko muna sa konteksto nung responde namin sa energy emergency. **[02:19:19.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003053) Kasi yung energy emergency was already detrimental or nanganib na ho sila noon. **[02:19:23.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003054) So, when I say sila, yung mga near poor and poor families ho natin, **[02:19:27.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003055) kasama yung mga 4Ps ho natin doon. **[02:19:30.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003056) We were working closely with the PEDS or one of their fellows, **[02:19:33.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003057) si Professor Toots Albert, in designing the uplift assistance. **[02:19:37.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003058) This comes into play kasi we were looking at the diminished na spending power nila **[02:19:42.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003059) of almost around 1,200 to 1,500 pesos. **[02:19:45.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003060) Doon namin na-draw yung 2,000 pesos monthly na ipinamahagi sa kanila. **[02:19:50.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003061) So, we embarked on a... **[02:19:52.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003062) Tawag namin, **[02:19:53.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003063) This is an EVH, Emergency Scheme, Vertical Expansion or Horizontal Expansion. **[02:19:58.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003064) Ito ho yung rasyonale ng design ng uplift assistance. **[02:20:01.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003065) That's why una, may Group 1 tayo. **[02:20:03.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003066) Nakatanggap ang ating mga 4Ps beneficiaries ng one-time top-up na 2,000 pesos last July or August. **[02:20:11.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003067) The second one was Group 2, meaning yung mga near poor or poor na hindi ho bahagi ng 4Ps **[02:20:17.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003068) dahil they did not meet the conditionalities. **[02:20:19.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003069) There are around 2.5 million households doon. **[02:20:23.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003070) Yun ho. **[02:20:23.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003071) Nakakatanggap yun at patuloy nakakatanggap ng 2,000 pesos since July all the way to December. **[02:20:28.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003072) Sa aming pag-uusap sa uplift committee at sa direktiba ng ating Pangulo, **[02:20:31.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003073) we are playing it close to the ground na kung humaba yung energy emergency, **[02:20:35.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003074) e maaring humaba rin to. **[02:20:37.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003075) So, for now, ang design niya is still December, but we will look at the situation **[02:20:41.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003076) and if we're warranted, sinabi naman ang ating Pangulo that we can extend this. **[02:20:45.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003077) Now, Group 3 is yung low-wage SSS earners. **[02:20:50.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003078) That's 1.5 million families naman. **[02:20:53.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003079) Individuals or household. **[02:20:54.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003080) Yan naman ho, kinonsider namin sila na vulnerable because their monthly salary credits only amounts to 20,000. **[02:21:01.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003081) In fact, later on, in-expand pa namin all the way to mas mababa na 10,000 pesos monthly salary credit. **[02:21:07.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003082) Now, Madam Chair, I spoke about this kasi yung target, etong mga grupo na to, **[02:21:12.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003083) sigurado ko sila rin yung maapektuhan ng Elminio. **[02:21:15.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003084) So, right now, we gave protection to 7.5 million families. **[02:21:22.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003085) A lot of these families will be the same families that will be severely affected by the Elminio drought. **[02:21:28.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003086) Marami, 70% to 85% of our four-piece beneficiaries are farmers. **[02:21:34.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003087) In fact, a big chunk of Group 2, Group 1, are not in the urban areas. **[02:21:39.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003088) They're in the municipalities or rural areas. **[02:21:42.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003089) Nakikita namin yan when we do the payouts. **[02:21:45.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003090) Now, moving forward, I want to show our slide. **[02:21:49.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003091) Meron ba tayong presentation ng El Niño? **[02:21:51.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003092) ... **[02:21:51.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003093) So, the El Niño preparations of the department. **[02:21:56.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003094) Ito po, when I got to the department, and alam ko nire-reform rin ito ni Sen. Erwin noon, hindi lang yan natapos. **[02:22:02.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003095) We have a line item called the Disaster Resilience Response Rehabilitation Program, DRRP. **[02:22:09.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003096) That's a 1.1 billion expenditure in our books. **[02:22:13.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003097) Now, nung nadatna namin yan, that's a cash-for-work program na yung work program was very loose **[02:22:18.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003098) in the sense na iba-iba yung pinagagawa sa kanila. **[02:22:20.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003099) So, what we did was, **[02:22:21.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003100) we consulted with the Department of Agriculture, World Food Program, **[02:22:24.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003101) and we revamped it as early as 2023, **[02:22:27.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003102) na isa, dalawa lang ang ginagawa nila, **[02:22:28.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003103) two monolithic programs nationwide. **[02:22:30.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003104) It's called LAWA, which are sweeps yun, **[02:22:33.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003105) yung small water impounding projects. **[02:22:37.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003106) So, we asked the A, where are the springs? **[02:22:39.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003107) Kasi doon namin nilalagay yung mga sweeps natin. **[02:22:43.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003108) And then they would also plant around it. **[02:22:45.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003109) Now, right now, these are found in communities that were targeted initially by the Climate Change Commission, **[02:22:51.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003110) and pag-aasa as drought. **[02:22:53.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003111) Noon pa, as drought, malapit sila sa drought, or any forms of climate change. **[02:23:00.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003112) So, these are the same communities that will be affected or are being affected already by El Nino. **[02:23:05.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003113) So, these sweeps or small water impounding systems na help them irrigate small community farms **[02:23:12.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003114) and at the same time provide income because yung mga naaani nila dyan, **[02:23:16.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003115) by the way, yung seeds at yung mga isda na linalagay dyan ay galing sa PA. **[02:23:21.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003116) Sila nag-iprovide ng technical assistance. **[02:23:24.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003117) Binibenta nila yan either through feeding program, through the Walang Gutom, or they consume it themselves. **[02:23:29.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003118) So, somehow, yung panawagan ng DA na to do community gardens to ease prices ng pagkain is already underway. **[02:23:38.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003119) We, in fact, have 5,000 of these sweeps nationwide. **[02:23:42.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003120) Small water impounding projects. **[02:23:45.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003121) Hindi ho yan nangyari overnight. **[02:23:46.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003122) Pinaghandaan ho namin siya since 2023, kaya ganyan karami ho yan. **[02:23:50.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003123) These sweeps are still... **[02:23:51.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003124) active right now. **[02:23:53.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003125) And the Department of Agriculture is helping us by introducing drought-resilient crops, **[02:24:00.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003126) both high-value and regular, katulad ng taro, kamote, and pag high-value, watermelon, okra. **[02:24:07.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003127) So, yan ho yung mga... yan yung partnership namin ng Department of Agriculture. **[02:24:11.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003128) So, when we say resilient, so kasi we didn't look at El Nino just now, **[02:24:15.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003129) but we were looking at El Nino way back in 2023, or La Nina as a matter of fact. **[02:24:20.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003130) 5,000 small water... **[02:24:21.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003131) small water impounding systems or projects cannot be built in a span of couple of months. **[02:24:26.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003132) That this was done way, way back. **[02:24:28.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003133) Now, that's the first one in terms of social development. **[02:24:31.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003134) We provide cash assistance. **[02:24:32.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003135) By the way, baka matanong nyo anong connection namin doon? **[02:24:34.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003136) Yung cash for work nila, for 20 days, they do the sweeps lang. **[02:24:38.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003137) They do the impounding lang. **[02:24:39.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003138) And then, kung ano yung inani doon sa kanila na yun, and then napapaikot na nila by themselves. **[02:24:44.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003139) Now, on the second slide... **[02:24:46.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003140) The second slide, obviously, yung bilanggit ni Sekiko kanina, **[02:24:51.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003141) yung farmers na maapektuhan. **[02:24:54.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003142) Nag-start na ho kami ng emergency cash transfers in Cagayan, in Isabela, Camarines Norte, as we speak. **[02:25:01.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003143) Now, we are monitoring it based on the declarations of state of calamity. **[02:25:05.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003144) And like Sekiko said, may close coordination kami, they will pass on to us areas of vulnerability. **[02:25:11.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003145) Na tulad ng nangyari sa RSSI, they were the ones who told us which provinces to move into **[02:25:16.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003146) based also on the state of calamity. **[02:25:18.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003147) Next slide. **[02:25:20.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003148) Now, parang-parang... **[02:25:21.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003149) For our social development, natatanong ho ito lagi sa akin, yung community-driven development o yung kalahi. **[02:25:26.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003150) Remember, kalahi, naubos na ho yung ODA niyan when we joined the department in 2024. **[02:25:31.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003151) So, we applied for a new ODA that was approved, and you can see it in the unprogrammed also at my line item yan. **[02:25:37.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003152) It's called Pagkilos. **[02:25:38.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003153) Basically, the community-driven development was converted into community-driven development **[02:25:43.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003154) looking at disaster resilience to include droughts. **[02:25:46.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003155) So, one particular project that already opened and we're expanding it will be... **[02:25:51.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003156) Now, this community, for instance, in Masbate, nasa isla yan, I've been there, wala talagang tubig sila. **[02:25:58.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003157) So, this system is supposed to help them in the wash, to come up with sanitary water para sa mga community nila **[02:26:06.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003158) kasi right now, they have to go to the town proper and spend so much money to get just a liter of water. **[02:26:11.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003159) And right now, it's coming in handy during the El Nino. **[02:26:15.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003160) So, our approach, Madam Chairman, is both social development and social protection. **[02:26:20.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003161) Social protection. **[02:26:21.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003162) Yung ECT as a means of bridging them para hindi ho sila mahulog palalim sa kahirapan. **[02:26:26.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003163) When we look at AICs or emergency cash transfer, hindi naman siya the ends to the means. **[02:26:30.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003164) The means to the end. **[02:26:31.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003165) But rather, it's a pantawid. **[02:26:33.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003166) So, sana gagamitin namin yun para maitawid sila, yung mga magsasaka o yung mga mangingisda na maapektuhan during the next six months. **[02:26:40.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003167) Pero at the same time, we're embarking on social development programs that are meant for the long term. **[02:26:45.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003168) Katulad ng Project Lawat Binhi at netong air-to-water system ng community-driven development. **[02:26:51.220] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003169) Yung kaninang pinakita ninyo, can we go back to that slide? **[02:27:00.340] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003170) Yung slide ng mga binigyan ng may different categories in uplift slide. **[02:27:10.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003171) Nakita ko na ang beneficiaries noon is about 6.5 million? **[02:27:15.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003172) Sir, sir. **[02:27:16.940] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003173) 6.5 million. **[02:27:17.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003174) Yes, but the target was 7.5. **[02:27:19.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003175) Hinahanap pa namin. **[02:27:20.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003176) Well, yan ay hinahanap namin using CPMSS data and SSS data. **[02:27:25.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003177) But, and ang ginamit na pondo dyan is the IX fund, no? **[02:27:32.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003178) The IX po ang ginagamit ko dyan. **[02:27:33.620] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003179) And then, dito sa slide ninyo, slide 11, nakita ko na to date or September, as of September, **[02:27:41.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003180) ang beneficiaries is about, total beneficiaries is 8.7 million beneficiaries. **[02:27:48.860] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003181) So, in other words… **[02:27:50.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003182) Yung uplift, andiyan pala, 8.7 million yung beneficiaries. **[02:27:59.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003183) Pero, out of that 8.7, 7.5 galing sa… **[02:28:03.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003184) To clarify, Madam Chair, both are drawn from the IX funds. **[02:28:08.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003185) Itong tinutukoy ng slide na to, na tinutukoy ng Senate President, ay IX regular. **[02:28:13.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003186) Ito ho yung mga pumupunta sa sasina. **[02:28:14.280] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003187) Pero dyan rin kinuhin uplift? **[02:28:15.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003188) Yes, kinukuha siya from the same pot. **[02:28:18.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003189) Okay. **[02:28:19.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003190) Ang punto ko dito kasi… **[02:28:20.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003191) Ang 2027 is 4.6 million ang target beneficiaries, or pwedeng mag-apply for the IX fund, di ba? **[02:28:31.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003192) Kung ang DA is already projecting at the worst case scenario, 4 million, ubos na kagad yan sa DA. **[02:28:38.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003193) That's a point I'm trying to make. **[02:28:41.060] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003194) And this is only DA. **[02:28:43.280] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003195) Hindi pa natin kinakount yan kung tuloy-tuloy yung gera sa Iran at sumipa to $150 per barrel, or even $200. **[02:28:50.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003196) Hindi natin malaman ngayon. **[02:28:52.840] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003197) Medyo wild-wild west doon. **[02:28:55.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003198) So, the 4 million is only for the farmers, pero we all learned na sa uplift, 7.5 ang binigyan na. **[02:29:05.180] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003199) So, mayroon pa tayong… **[02:29:08.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003200) Dapat ang nakahanda tayo is between 4 million to maybe 8 million beneficiaries for the next 6 to 12 months. **[02:29:17.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003201) So, yun ang nakikita kong based on the briefing ng mga sekretary. **[02:29:20.420] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003202) So, yun ang nakikita kong dapat paghandaan natin. **[02:29:23.340] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003203) But 2027, in other words, is only 4.6. **[02:29:28.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003204) So, hindi siya responsive to the situation in the next 6 to 12 months. **[02:29:32.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003205) Mabuti kung walang gera. **[02:29:33.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003206) Mabuti kung walang El Nino, di ba? **[02:29:36.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003207) Baka pwede yan. **[02:29:37.700] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003208) In the normal circumstances, pwede yan. **[02:29:39.860] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003209) Pero alam naman natin, in the next 6 to 12 months, ibang situation natin. **[02:29:46.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-003210) Very delikado yung ating situation. **[02:29:48.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003211) But I'm sure that's why we have been very vocal about augmenting the AICs kasi it becomes our lifeline. **[02:29:56.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003212) And rightfully so, as the Senate President pointed out, bagamat meron kaming… **[02:29:59.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003213) ibang fund source **[02:30:00.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003214) like emergency cash transfer, **[02:30:02.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003215) it's really never enough. **[02:30:04.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003216) And just to point out, **[02:30:05.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003217) umabot na rin ho kami **[02:30:06.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003218) sa punto ngayon **[02:30:07.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003219) na humihingi na kami **[02:30:08.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003220) ng fund augmentation **[02:30:09.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003221) from DBM **[02:30:10.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003222) to beef up AICs **[02:30:12.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003223) kasi nga hindi na siya sapat. **[02:30:14.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003224) Kasi we've spent **[02:30:15.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003225) 10 billion immediately **[02:30:16.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003226) during the summer **[02:30:17.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003227) for the transfer workers. **[02:30:19.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003228) Tapos ngayon, **[02:30:20.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003229) we're supposed to cater **[02:30:21.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003230) to 7.5 **[02:30:22.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003231) and we did get support **[02:30:23.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003232) from DBM. **[02:30:24.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003233) I believe those are drawn **[02:30:25.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003234) from the various, **[02:30:27.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003235) I'm not sure where they drew it **[02:30:28.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003236) but that's for them **[02:30:29.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003237) to answer. **[02:30:30.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003238) But suffice to say, **[02:30:31.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003239) binibigyan nila kami. **[02:30:32.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003240) Pero tama ho, **[02:30:34.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003241) mahirap ho yung **[02:30:34.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003242) uncertainty **[02:30:36.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003243) na **[02:30:37.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003244) I don't know where **[02:30:39.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003245) they're drawing it **[02:30:39.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003246) pero syempre, **[02:30:40.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003247) humihingi kami. **[02:30:41.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003248) Kung magka humihingi kami **[02:30:42.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003249) ng augmentation, **[02:30:43.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003250) that's very hard for us **[02:30:44.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003251) kasi we're at the mercy **[02:30:45.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003252) of whether **[02:30:45.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003253) meron or wala **[02:30:46.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-003254) na dadating. **[02:30:48.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T.

Ejercito** (asr-004051) There are a lot of those who graduated na, **[02:46:04.760] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004052) nag-exit na. **[02:46:07.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004053) Also, **[02:46:08.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004054) mentioned, there's a big **[02:46:10.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004055) increase sa house gap, no? **[02:46:12.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004056) Sa AICS, no? Protective Services, **[02:46:14.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004057) principally AICS, **[02:46:16.500] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004058) from 33.285 billion **[02:46:18.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004059) to 58.091 billion. **[02:46:20.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004060) AICS is intended to assist people **[02:46:22.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004061) in genuine crisis, but the 2025 **[02:46:24.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004062) COA finding stated that **[02:46:26.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004063) multiple and overlapping payments totaling **[02:46:28.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004064) P397.4 **[02:46:30.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004065) million and weaknesses in **[02:46:32.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004066) referral-based selection **[02:46:34.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004067) and validation. This makes independent access **[02:46:36.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004068) clear eligibility rules **[02:46:38.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004069) and traceable distribution especially important. **[02:46:41.320] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004070) Ang ano lang question is, how would **[02:46:42.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004071) DSW ensure that AICS is a needs-based **[02:46:44.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004072) government service rather **[02:46:46.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004073) than a vehicle for political patronage, **[02:46:49.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004074) particularly as the 2028 **[02:46:50.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004075) elections approach? Kasi ito yung mga **[02:46:52.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004076) clear, no? Ng mga civil **[02:46:54.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004077) society organizations and **[02:46:56.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004078) watchdogs na parang **[02:46:58.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004079) magiging, baka maging tool siya **[02:47:00.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004080) for patronage. **[02:47:02.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004081) Madam Chair, let me answer the first **[02:47:04.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004082) part, yung COA report. **[02:47:07.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004083) In that COA report, una ho, **[02:47:08.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004084) let me just state categorically, **[02:47:10.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004085) wala naman ho kaming disallowance. **[02:47:12.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004086) In fact, sinabi sa amin, to make sure **[02:47:14.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004087) that we validate. So the validation is **[02:47:16.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004088) ongoing. Kasi ang argument namin doon, multiple **[02:47:18.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004089) findings ho yun eh. Una, sabi nila may **[02:47:20.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004090) double tipping. Ibig sabihin, nakatanggap **[02:47:22.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004091) ng ACAP that time, pero **[02:47:24.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004092) nakakuha ng AICS. Pero pinaliliwanag namin **[02:47:26.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004093) sa guidelines, as long as it's not the same **[02:47:28.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004094) item. For instance, nagkasakit. **[02:47:31.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004095) So pinigyan natin ang medical. **[02:47:32.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004096) E namatayan ho. So we give them burial **[02:47:34.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004097) naman. As long as it's not the same **[02:47:36.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004098) item that they availed of, then that should be **[02:47:38.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004099) allowed in our guidelines. Pangalawain, **[02:47:40.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004100) sabi nila, in excess. **[02:47:42.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004101) Ang answer **[02:47:44.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004102) response namin sa COA doon is, **[02:47:46.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004103) as long as they don't reach the maximum **[02:47:48.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004104) 10,000. So meaning, **[02:47:50.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004105) if they got 2,000 first, tapos **[02:47:52.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004106) bumalik sila, the social **[02:47:54.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004107) worker decides to give another 2,000, **[02:47:56.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004108) as long as they don't reach. **[02:47:58.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004109) And within the three months. **[02:48:00.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004110) Now, what happened in this finding **[02:48:02.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004111) in particular is, because COA said, **[02:48:04.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004112) okay, we take cognizance of your answer. **[02:48:06.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004113) As we speak right now, nagba-validate **[02:48:08.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004114) kami, pina-validate ulit sa amin **[02:48:10.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004115) to complete the data set. **[02:48:12.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004116) Kasi hinahanap yung mga social case **[02:48:14.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004117) intake ng mga individual na to. **[02:48:16.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004118) And then COA is also doing their **[02:48:18.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004119) parallel validation. It is **[02:48:20.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004120) due to end both validation by **[02:48:22.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004121) December. Kasi nga, we're saying that this **[02:48:24.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004122) amount is not **[02:48:25.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004123) in excess. Hindi ho yan. Now, Madam, **[02:48:28.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004124) Chair, I know that the civil society **[02:48:30.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004125) and everybody's concerned about the politization **[02:48:32.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004126) or the chance of politization of the department. **[02:48:34.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004127) Ang lagi ko sinasagot doon, **[02:48:36.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004128) anybody, I said this to COA **[02:48:38.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004129) as well, can refer. We get referrals **[02:48:40.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004130) from everybody. Pati ho sa radio stations **[02:48:42.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004131) na public service announcement, **[02:48:44.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004132) sa simbahan, public servants. **[02:48:46.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004133) But at the end of the day, yung **[02:48:48.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004134) social worker ho, does the intake ko? **[02:48:50.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004135) Nobody can dictate on them kung qualified **[02:48:52.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004136) or not qualified, at kung magkano **[02:48:54.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004137) ang ibibigay. **[02:48:55.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004138) Our social workers **[02:48:57.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004139) are licensed professionals. **[02:48:58.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004140) And with a lot of them getting regularized **[02:49:00.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004141) pa, hopefully, **[02:49:02.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004142) we know for a fact that they can withstand **[02:49:04.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004143) yung mga pressures. **[02:49:07.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004144) Unlike other departments, **[02:49:08.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004145) I don't want to draw a parallelism, **[02:49:10.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004146) pero unlike the other grants being **[02:49:12.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004147) given by other departments, kami kasi may gatekeeper, **[02:49:15.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004148) the social worker. **[02:49:16.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004149) Unlike the other departments, wala silang gatekeeper. **[02:49:18.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004150) I mean, sila ho yung nagdi-determine **[02:49:20.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004151) qualified ba to, hindi qualified, **[02:49:22.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004152) magkano ba ibibigay. **[02:49:25.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004153) I'm sure **[02:49:26.500] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004154) that since **[02:49:28.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004155) AICS has been being **[02:49:29.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004156) implemented for so many years, may mga safeguards **[02:49:32.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004157) na tayo rito. And **[02:49:34.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004158) considering that this is cash, **[02:49:35.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004159) yun ang medyo, it's prone to **[02:49:38.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004160) of course, temptation. **[02:49:42.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004161) Siguro, quickly lang, ano po yung mga **[02:49:44.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004162) safeguards to ensure that **[02:49:45.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004163) it reaches **[02:49:48.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004164) the target beneficiaries. **[02:49:50.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004165) Na wala ng **[02:49:52.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004166) kukurot, **[02:49:54.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004167) ikanga, doon sa **[02:49:56.160] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004168) dapat mapunta. **[02:49:58.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004169) Madam Chair, we've had a lot of cases **[02:50:00.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004170) na ang fraud or yung kumurot, **[02:50:02.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004171) hindi naman ho empleyado. **[02:50:04.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004172) Kung hindi, we have a very particular case **[02:50:06.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004173) at Site 1, para mas konkreto, **[02:50:08.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004174) in Iloilo, this is all over the news, **[02:50:11.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004175) na sindikato **[02:50:12.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004176) ng certain, hindi naman lahat, certain **[02:50:14.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004177) barangay officials, hindi ko naman ho nila lahat. **[02:50:17.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004178) So when the news got to us, **[02:50:18.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004179) sinampahan talaga namin ang kaso ito mga to **[02:50:20.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004180) prove a point. Pero nandun pa rin ho **[02:50:22.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004181) sa massive information campaign. In the last **[02:50:24.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004182) budget hearing, we cited number one, **[02:50:26.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004183) during payouts, paulit-ulit ho talaga, **[02:50:28.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004184) kailangan sabihin ng mga social worker namin na **[02:50:30.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004185) inyo yan, huwag nyo ibigay **[02:50:32.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004186) kahit kanino yan. Now, kung meron **[02:50:34.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004187) isumbong nyo sa amin, there are anonymous **[02:50:36.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004188) ways of doing it. We have a very **[02:50:38.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004189) robust grievance mechanism in the department, **[02:50:41.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004190) even for four piece. **[02:50:43.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004191) Naka-skill rin sa mga **[02:50:44.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004192) payout centers namin, yung mga rules, **[02:50:46.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004193) halimbawa, magkano ang matatanggap mo, **[02:50:48.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004194) inyo ba yan, even in their **[02:50:50.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004195) local dialect. Kasi sometimes the lack **[02:50:52.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004196) of information makes them think na pwedeng **[02:50:54.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004197) kaltasan sila ng ibang tao. **[02:50:56.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004198) Also, yung increase **[02:50:58.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004199) sa HGAB, is that **[02:50:59.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004200) the agency **[02:51:02.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004201) or the agency recommendation **[02:51:04.360] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004202) o galing lang sa house yun? **[02:51:06.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004203) Madam Chair, we recommended **[02:51:08.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004204) pero kulang pangaho. **[02:51:10.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004205) What was the target? **[02:51:12.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004206) The target was sana mabalik lang ho kami **[02:51:14.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004207) sa 63.9 billion. **[02:51:16.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004208) Same as the last time. **[02:51:19.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004209) But probably because of the **[02:51:20.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004210) really tight, very **[02:51:22.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004211) very tight fiscal **[02:51:24.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004212) space, all the departments really **[02:51:26.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004213) suffered cuts. Kaya I'm **[02:51:29.320] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004214) quite particular. **[02:51:30.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004215) Madam Chair, kung pwede lang ako dumulog ulit. **[02:51:32.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004216) Mr. Grants kasi ho, and as pointed out, **[02:51:35.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004217) we're looking at the barrel of the gun **[02:51:37.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004218) with El Nino, **[02:51:38.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004219) with inflation, **[02:51:41.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004220) and then yung regular pa namin na pumupunta **[02:51:43.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004221) sa opisina. **[02:51:44.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004222) This year has been quite challenging. Imagine nyo, **[02:51:47.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004223) kami yung ginamit during the **[02:51:48.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004224) RSSI payout na nangyayari pa rin ngayon. **[02:51:51.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004225) Kami rin yung ginagamit **[02:51:53.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004226) sa drought. Kami rin yung **[02:51:55.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004227) humarap sa mga transport sector. **[02:51:56.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004228) So, on top of that, meron pa kami **[02:51:58.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004229) yung mga regular na tumudulog sa aming **[02:52:00.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004230) mga tanggapan. So, I know **[02:52:02.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004231) it's tight fiscal space, pero tulad nang sinabi ko **[02:52:04.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004232) sa Kim, kung meron sanang last na **[02:52:06.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004233) pwedeng bawasan ng konti, sana ho **[02:52:08.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004234) kami yun. **[02:52:10.500] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004235) Yung RSSI, Sek, no, **[02:52:12.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004236) that's yung mga sugar **[02:52:13.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G.

Ejercito** (asr-004238) it's still ongoing, no, tsaka wala pang **[02:52:20.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004239) end in sight. So, how many, **[02:52:22.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004240) just want to ask kasi, I came from **[02:52:24.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G.

Ejercito** (asr-004242) author ng Sugarcane Industry Development **[02:52:28.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004243) Act. We're very much concerned **[02:52:30.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004244) with itong sugar production. **[02:52:33.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004245) So, mga ilan na ba yung **[02:52:34.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004246) beneficiaries natin total? **[02:52:37.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004247) Mr. Chair, Madam Chair, if you allow me **[02:52:38.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004248) just one second, kasi it's a running, **[02:52:40.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004249) ongoing pa rin yung payout. So, papakuha ko yung **[02:52:42.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004250) pinaka-latest. **[02:52:45.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004251) Yung RSSI. **[02:52:45.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004252) Okay. **[02:52:49.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004253) Meron ba kayo? **[02:52:52.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004254) Hindi, hindi **[02:52:54.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004255) Okay na. **[02:52:56.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004256) Yung pinaka meron ka **[02:54:21.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004259) 1.4, no? **[02:54:26.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004260) We've already allotted 1.4 billion, of which a greater chunk is going to Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental. **[02:54:35.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004261) The balance went to Capiz. **[02:54:38.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004262) And then we are also now looking at portions of Iloilo, Pasi City in particular. **[02:54:45.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004263) And then may nagde-declare na rin sunod-sunod. **[02:54:47.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004264) And the majority floor leader also called our attention to Pukidnon. **[02:54:51.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004265) Kasi meron din silang sugar plantations doon. **[02:54:54.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004266) But the 1.4, 1.1 to 1.2 of that went to Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental. **[02:55:01.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004267) It was already asked by our Senate President earlier, ito sa El Nino natin, yung farmers and fisher folks. **[02:55:10.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004268) So do you have any estimate na na projection, yung high and low of it for 2037? **[02:55:18.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004269) We are yet to get the projection from the Department of Agriculture. **[02:55:21.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004270) But what we can show you is in ongoing na po. **[02:55:24.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004271) I'll flash you the map, yung El Nino map. **[02:55:29.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004272) Yung kanina. **[02:55:34.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004273) May 10.9 sa RSPSA. **[02:55:37.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004274) ... **[02:55:39.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004275) Madam Chair, the RSPSA database is 10.9 farmers. **[02:55:46.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004276) So we're looking at a portion of that. **[02:55:48.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004277) As mentioned, siguro mga 80% of it. **[02:55:50.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004278) But based on the El Nino heat map kasi by January, **[02:55:53.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004279) by this March of next year, **[02:55:54.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004280) pretty much the entire country na ang sakop. **[02:55:56.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004281) So we're assuming that that's the entire number, 10.9. **[02:56:00.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004282) Pero obviously, that's the maximum kasi may mga iba naman hopefully na hindi tatamaan. **[02:56:06.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004283) But we can show you, Madam Chair, as I showed, this is the ongoing efforts already. **[02:56:12.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004284) The provinces were operating lahat na sa eastern seaboard as projected. **[02:56:16.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004285) Cagayan, Isabela, that's around 77,260. **[02:56:24.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004286) Farmers, ongoing or paid out na yan. **[02:56:27.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004287) And then Camarines Norte with 26,041. **[02:56:31.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004288) Sila na yung naunay because they're in the eastern seaboard. **[02:56:35.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004289) Parang hindi tayo naupusan ng crisis every year. **[02:56:39.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004290) May RSSI, mayroon na naman ang El Nino. **[02:56:41.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004291) So anyway, thank you, Secrex. **[02:56:44.160] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004292) Madam Chair, that's all for now. **[02:56:46.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004293) I'll just be here to monitor this. **[02:56:49.000] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004294) Marami salamat, Chair. **[02:56:50.620] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004295) Back to you, SP, for your second round. **[02:56:54.020] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004296) It's all right po. **[02:56:57.000] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004297) I'm also still waiting for Senator Bong Go. **[02:57:00.780] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004298) And then sabi kanina ni Senator Ami, babalik siya. **[02:57:03.220] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004299) So you may lead off for the second round. **[02:57:05.620] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004300) I just have a few items lang, Madam Chairperson. **[02:57:10.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004301) Balikan ko lang yung sinabi ng ating Chairman, Senator JV. **[02:57:14.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004302) Itong panahon ng pagkilos, Philippine Community Resilience Project. **[02:57:19.740] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004303) I understand that this is a foreign-assisted project. **[02:57:24.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004304) It's a funded project. **[02:57:25.740] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004305) And ang aim nito is to make communities resilient to poverty, disaster, and climate change. **[02:57:35.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004306) And ongoing, I just want to ask, anong status nitong project? **[02:57:41.760] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004307) At paano makaka-apekto itong pagbawas sa NEP ng 5.5 billion pesos? **[02:57:54.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004308) So, kasi kung ongoing na siya, tapos mababawasan, mapuputol, sayang inumpisahan. **[02:58:02.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004309) So we want to get an update on this foreign-assisted project. **[02:58:09.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004310) Madam Chair, as mentioned, this is the successor program ng Kalahi na original that's been running for 20-25 years. **[02:58:16.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004311) Nung 2024, nag-sunset na yung Kalahi. **[02:58:21.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004312) Basically, ang programa nun. **[02:58:23.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004313) And wala yan sa cities, wala yan sa first-class, second-class cities. **[02:58:27.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004314) Normally, they're in the farthest, poorest provinces or municipalities that otherwise hindi mapapansin ng ga'a. **[02:58:35.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004315) Kasi ang layo nila, nasa liblib na lugar. **[02:58:38.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004316) Ang ginagawa ko dyan, the community identifies, parang bottom-up budgeting yan. **[02:58:42.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004317) The community identifies the project that they need. **[02:58:46.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004318) And then those sub-projects normally don't go beyond 20 million on a three-year scale. **[02:58:52.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004319) Now, **[02:58:53.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004320) sa mata ng mga benepisyaryo natin, tuloy-tuloy yung programa kasi nga walang intermission **[02:58:57.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004321) dahil we applied for an extension through Panahon Pagkilos. **[02:59:01.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004322) Same concept, community-driven development, community-procured, may counterparting na 20-30%. **[02:59:07.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004323) Now, the biggest worry there is when World Bank approved the design, **[02:59:13.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004324) I pre-identify na yung mga targets, how many LGUs ang makikinabang. **[02:59:18.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004325) But the problem is, now that cut, **[02:59:21.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004326) I'm sorry. **[02:59:23.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004327) Ang tatamano dyan yung community grants nila. **[02:59:25.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004328) Meaning, lesser sub-projects, itong mga pre-identified na targets, hindi hun lahat mabibigyan. **[02:59:33.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004329) Now, the worry there is also, I don't think the development agency will like that **[02:59:38.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004330) because when we did sign the commitment, meron na yung pre-identified mechanisms and the designs are already preset. **[02:59:45.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004331) Ongoing na ito? **[02:59:46.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004332) Ongoing na po. In fact, we're doing the first round this year. **[02:59:50.220] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004333) Okay. **[02:59:50.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004334) It's a five-year plan. **[02:59:53.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004335) Until 2031. **[02:59:55.340] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004336) Okay. And then, ang counterpart natin is 10 billion. **[02:59:59.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004337) Is correct. **[02:59:59.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004338) 10 billion. **[03:00:02.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004339) Dito sa original na P17 billion, nandito na yung counterpart. **[03:00:15.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004340) Nandito na yung counterpart pero ang nabawasan po ay yung ODA side. **[03:00:20.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004341) Ah, yung ODA side. **[03:00:21.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004342) At the COP side. **[03:00:23.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004343) Okay. **[03:00:23.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004344) Okay. **[03:00:24.060] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004345) Okay. Will it help? Ang mangyayari dito dahil nabawasan ng P5.4, beneficiary? **[03:00:35.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004346) Liliit. Yes. And when we talk about beneficiaries, communities. LGUs. **[03:00:40.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004347) And how many communities ang mababawasan with that P5.5 cut? **[03:00:54.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004348) Madam Chair, hindi ho mababawasan yung physical target pero ang liliit ho yung matatanggap nila na grant. **[03:01:02.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004349) So we'll have to proportionally apply the cut everywhere. **[03:01:06.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004350) So halimbawa, ang na-initial na, kasi the whole concept there is they are pre-identified using the filters. **[03:01:12.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004351) Meron ba diya ang mataas bang poverty incidents, stunting incident, meron bang presence ng indigenous people, **[03:01:19.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004352) and susceptible ba kayo sa climate change or disasters. **[03:01:22.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004353) So nung na-identify na sila, **[03:01:24.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004354) we gathered the LGUs already and notified them of their allocations **[03:01:27.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004355) and beneficiary na sila. **[03:01:30.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004356) So they made their community planning already. **[03:01:32.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004357) Now, babalikan namin sila at sasabihin namin sa kanila, **[03:01:35.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004358) yung plinano nyo, if that was no more than 20 million, liliit ho yun. **[03:01:39.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004359) So they'll have to scale down. **[03:01:40.600] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004360) Pagkano makukuha nila? Originally it was 20 million. **[03:01:43.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004361) No more than 20 million yan. **[03:01:44.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004362) For sub-projects. **[03:01:46.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004363) Yeah. **[03:01:48.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004364) For every year kasi no more than 20 million ho yan. **[03:01:51.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004365) These are micro-projects. **[03:01:52.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004366) We're talking about pathways. **[03:01:54.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004367) We're talking about pathways, bridges, yung pinakita ko kanina, yung water system. **[03:01:58.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004368) So that's 20 to 20 million for the span of 3 years. **[03:02:02.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004369) So mga 50 to 70 million for the span of 5 years. **[03:02:07.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004370) 3 years, sorry, 3 years. **[03:02:08.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004371) So yun ang mababawasan ho. **[03:02:10.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004372) Proportionately, we'll have to cut it. **[03:02:12.180] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004373) Baka wala na silang matapos with that. **[03:02:14.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004374) Siyempre, the smaller the project, the less the impact, di ba? **[03:02:18.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004375) Madam Chair, that's the fear. **[03:02:19.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004376) And more so, maliliit na nga siya kasi they're micro-infrastructure projects. **[03:02:24.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004377) That otherwise, hindi mapapansin sa budgeting season because bottom-up budgeting to. **[03:02:27.860] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004378) So this is the successor to Kalahis? **[03:02:29.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004379) Yes. **[03:02:30.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004380) Yes. **[03:02:30.940] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004381) Okay. **[03:02:31.280] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004382) Which is a successful project rin? **[03:02:33.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004383) Yes. **[03:02:34.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004384) Sa mga information na po. **[03:02:35.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004385) We believe that it's successful. **[03:02:36.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004386) Otherwise, the World Bank would not have given it or NEDA, DEPDEV would not have given it a go-signal for a successor program. **[03:02:43.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004387) Alright. **[03:02:46.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004388) We'll take note of that kasi nakita ko na-cut yung project na nasabi na ng ating chairman to kanina. **[03:02:54.060] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004389) That's why we're also evaluating yung mga cuts and also additions, actually. **[03:03:04.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004390) Actually, I don't have any more questions, Madam Chairperson. **[03:03:08.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004391) Thank you. **[03:03:08.460] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-004392) Thank you for that. **[03:03:09.700] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004393) Salamat din po, SP. **[03:03:11.260] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004394) It looks like we will be ending earlier than expected. **[03:03:15.540] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004395) So, pwedeng kung bigyan ng oras yung ating mga CSO representatives, resource persons. **[03:03:24.060] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004396) Nandito, if you'd like to take around two minutes each para i-raise yung major na mga follow-up questions nyo **[03:03:32.320] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004397) at yung maaring maging subject na mga proposed amendments nyo patungo sa plenary. **[03:03:38.520] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004398) So, sino pong gustong magsalita? **[03:03:40.980] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004399) Ms. Gina, okay, para sa samahan ng nagkakaisang pamilya ng Pantawid. **[03:03:47.300] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004400) Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. **[03:03:49.300] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004401) Sa lahat pong mga nandito, especially at the SWD. **[03:03:53.180] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004402) Siyempre po. **[03:03:54.060] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004403) So, ang major concern po ng samahan ng nagkakaisang pamilya ng Pantawid is the budget cut **[03:03:58.440] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004404) na nangyari po sa ating programa ng 4P. **[03:04:01.660] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004405) So, kami po ay may mga observation from 2022 up to the present. **[03:04:07.900] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004406) Yung mga budget cut po ay talaga nagkakaroon ng implication sa program. **[03:04:12.520] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004407) Of course, talaga kinakong-gratulate din naman namin si Secretary Rex dahil sa mga troubleshooting na ginawa niya **[03:04:18.360] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004408) at hearing those enhancements from the program ay talaga pong nagpapasalamat kami sa ano, **[03:04:23.540] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004409) nakikita nating direksyon ng pagpapabuti ng programa. **[03:04:27.580] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004410) So, balit, meron po kaming hinihiling, Madam Chair, lalong-lalong po sa version ng Senate para po sa budget ng 2027. **[03:04:36.820] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004411) So, nung rinisenta po ng ating butihing sekretary yung NEP 2027 doon sa House of Representatives, **[03:04:44.420] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004412) medyo nagkaroon po kami ng agam-agam. **[03:04:46.880] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004413) Dahil, siyempre, kami po ay nagkaroon ng pulong last October 7 sa PSA **[03:04:51.640] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004414) kung saan? **[03:04:52.220] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004415) Yung issue po tungkol doon sa mga nasa listahan po, ng listahan ng 3 patungo doon sa CBMS **[03:04:59.180] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004416) ay ito po yung klinaro namin sa PSA. **[03:05:02.000] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004417) Dahil marami po tayo, may mga bilang pa po tayo ng mga pantawid, supposed to be mga pantawid na hindi po napasama doon sa CBMS **[03:05:10.360] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004418) at sila po ay lumalapit sa samahan para po ito ay idulog po sa ating DSWD or sa ating mga mambabatas. **[03:05:20.080] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004419) May mga bilang po ito, Madam Chair. **[03:05:22.220] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004420) At sila po ay nahingian na po ng mga requirements. **[03:05:25.580] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004421) Dahil po ang mga mahihirap nating kababayan ang kumuha po ng tatlong birth certificate para lamang po makapasok sa programa **[03:05:32.080] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004422) ay napakalaki pong halaga nito. **[03:05:34.480] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004423) Pagkuhan ng marriage contract, pamasahe papunta po sa pagkuhan ng card, certification from school **[03:05:39.860] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004424) ay ito po yung ina-address namin kung bakit mahalaga po sa amin na makita yung bilang ng mga na-archive nating mga kababayan. **[03:05:47.420] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004425) At syempre, yung problema po ng inclusion-exclusion sa programa **[03:05:52.220] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004426) po ito na matugunan sapagkat marami po talaga basis sa qualified naman sila sa RA 11310 ay hindi po sila napapabilang. **[03:06:01.380] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004427) At meron po naman mga hindi naman na kwalifikado ay nasa programa po at nabanggit ito ni Secretary kanina. **[03:06:07.980] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004428) So ito po yung aming mga inilabi sa iba't ibang ahensya na makakatulong po sa ating mga kababayang mahirap. **[03:06:13.900] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004429) Tama po kanina si SB no po at nakakatuwa po na merami pong graduate na mga pantawid. **[03:06:22.220] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004430) So ito po yung mga mga household mula po sa programa. **[03:06:24.140] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004431) Subalit hindi po ito tumutukoy doon sa mga mga mga kababayan pa natin na mahihirap dahil galing na rin po sa PSA. **[03:06:32.180] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004432) Meron pa po tayong mga kababayan na 3.2 million na mga mahihirap at meron po tayong mga waiting list na mga mahihirap din na supposed to be ay mapabilang po sa programa o makapaloob sa programa. **[03:06:43.960] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004433) Kung nakikita po natin na ang four-piece program po ay isang instrumento na talaga pong nakakapag-alleviate sa ating mga kababayan. **[03:06:52.220] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004434) So doon sa pag-aaral ng World Bank, 2.2 million household po ay nakapagpaangat sa ating mga kababayan mula sa kahirapan. **[03:07:00.240] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004435) Nawa po ay marinig po ng ating mga senador, madam chair, senate president, ang aming pong pagdulog na panatilihin ang budget para po doon sa pagpapanatili ng 4.4 million na mga household na makapasok po sa ating pantawid program. **[03:07:19.100] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004436) Sapagkat mahalaga po sa amin ang bilang. **[03:07:22.220] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004437) Kukunti man ito pero ang tinitignan po natin ay yung mga kabataan na talaga pong ma-address yung kanilang pag-aaral. **[03:07:30.860] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004438) At salamat sekretary, nakita namin doon sa inyo pong mga nabanggit kanina na yung tertiary education po ay talagang ito po yung major concern ng ating mga exiting mga pantawid beneficiary. **[03:07:42.880] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004439) At sa paunti-unti po sana sa direction ng ating four-piece program sa mga susunod pong taon ay ito po talaga yung matugunan. **[03:07:49.880] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004440) So marami po kami mga idinulog na mga recommendation tungkol po sa tertiary education at livelihood. **[03:07:57.140] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004441) Ito po sana, itong mga convergence na tulong ng ating mga ahensya, nawa po pag-materialize po ito sa mga susunod na taon para po hindi na po talaga bumalik sa kahirapan yung mga nag-exit na ating mga kababayan. **[03:08:10.800] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004442) So tama po, makagraduate lamang po ang isa sa ating mga monitored child sa program at makapag-kolehyo. **[03:08:17.980] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004443) Malaking tulong po yan sa mga pamilya. **[03:08:19.880] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004444) Sa kanila pong pamilya para po tuluyan po silang makagraduate sa pantawid. **[03:08:24.540] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004445) At ito naman po ang ating dream para po sa mga susunod pong taon na marami pa pong four-piece na makagraduate na talaga pong nakuha natin yung objective ng program na sila po ay hindi na magpa-backslide at nakatawid po talaga sa kahirapan. **[03:08:39.720] Jeana Catacio** (asr-004446) Maraming salamat sa opportunity, Madam Chair. **[03:08:42.000] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004447) Maraming salamat din po, Ms. Gina. **[03:08:44.120] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004448) Secrex, gusto nyo bang pagunan initially yung mga idinulog na sa... **[03:08:47.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004449) Madam Chair, si Jenna lagi yan sa office ko. **[03:08:49.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004450) Suki yan. **[03:08:51.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004451) And her group. **[03:08:52.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004452) And they're very helpful in trying to tell me kung ano ho yung nangyayari sa ground. **[03:08:56.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004453) Ang gusto ko lang ho una i-assure ang mga nakikinig na mga four-piece na yung pagbawa sa budget this year, hindi ho siya tulad, magiging epekto tulad noon na naghabol tayo. **[03:09:06.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004454) Kung matatandaan nyo, di ba meron tayong pagtitipo na nung, I forgot that was 2025, na yung budget cut was severe, nag-worry talaga sila. **[03:09:17.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004455) Pero ang gusto ko lang i-report naman na... **[03:09:19.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004456) Nahabol ho yun. **[03:09:20.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004457) Binigyan kami ng augmentation na ibalik yun. **[03:09:23.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004458) Pero syempre yung pangamba, yun yung iniiwasan natin. **[03:09:26.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004459) This year, yung budget cut ho, hindi naman ho [unclear] out of no rational. **[03:09:33.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004460) Kundi dahil lumiit na ho yung catchment natin to 3.5 million households or families, ma-excess na ho siya. **[03:09:41.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004461) So hindi ho naman ho makakompromise yung programa. **[03:09:44.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004462) Yun ang ina-assure ko sa kanila. **[03:09:46.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004463) Alam ko saan ang gagaling si Jenna dahil yung original na mga cut nangamba talaga sila. **[03:09:49.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004464) But yung cut ngayon is brought about by data na 3.5 na lang kami. **[03:09:53.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004465) So talagang niliitan. **[03:09:55.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004466) Pero tulad rin ang napaliwanag ko kanina, hindi naman magkakaroon ng decline sa quality ng programa. **[03:10:02.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004467) Bagamat marami pang enhancements. **[03:10:04.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004468) Katulad nga yung ilo-launch natin ngayon this year na ESSI. **[03:10:08.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004469) Alam nila yung ESSI, yun yung kune-kwento ko kanina. **[03:10:10.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004470) Dati yung ESSI kasi marami ho siyang laman. **[03:10:13.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004471) Pero ngayon, we just focused on the monitored children. **[03:10:16.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004472) So this December, we're launching it. **[03:10:18.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004473) Yun yung kune-kwento ko. **[03:10:19.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004474) Tuloy. **[03:10:19.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004475) Tuloy kolehyo, tuloy aral, tuloy trabaho. **[03:10:22.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004476) Whether tech voc man yan or academic man yan, tutulungan natin yung kanila mga monitored children. **[03:10:31.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004477) Yun ho ang assurance ko sa ating mga civil society, sa ating group na SNP. **[03:10:38.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004478) Huwag kayong mag-worry na yung budget cut this time hindi arbitrary. **[03:10:42.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004479) Kung hindi, this is driven by the data na lumiit ho tayo. **[03:10:46.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004480) Walang magsasuffer sa services. **[03:10:48.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004481) In fact, **[03:10:48.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004482) na-regularize pa yung mga links natin. **[03:10:51.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004483) Tapos, makailan lang, kahapon lang, **[03:10:53.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004484) binigyan kami ng balita ng ating BBM na dadagdag pa yung mga SWA o Social Welfare Assistant. **[03:10:58.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004485) So, from a ratio of 500, no? **[03:11:01.100] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004486) 1,000. **[03:11:01.780] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004487) So, naging 1 is to 500. **[03:11:03.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004488) Ngayon kasi yung Social Welfare Assistant, from 1 is to 1,000 families, **[03:11:06.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004489) ngayon magiging 1 is to 500 na lang. **[03:11:09.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004490) So, ibig sabihin talaga matututukan na mabuti yung case management **[03:11:13.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004491) para talaga yung karapat dapat lang ang nasa programa **[03:11:16.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004492) at yung mga pwede na natin pag-graduate. **[03:11:18.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004493) Ay, pwede. **[03:11:18.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004494) Pwede na natin pag-graduate. **[03:11:20.660] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004495) Salamat, Secrex. **[03:11:21.580] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004496) Siguro, moving forward, papunta sa plenary, **[03:11:24.880] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004497) pwede pa natin i-stretch ng konti. **[03:11:27.240] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004498) I remember nung briefings natin, **[03:11:28.980] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004499) nabanggit nyo na may buffer din kayong pinag-iisipan. **[03:11:31.980] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004500) So, baka doon natin pwedeng ma-work out yung **[03:11:33.800] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004501) idinudulog pang balansin ng mga 900,000 families. **[03:11:36.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004502) Madam Chairman, Jenna, we can sit down. **[03:11:40.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004503) From 450,000, nababa na ho namin yan to 59,000. **[03:11:45.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004504) Nahanap na namin yung mga iba. **[03:11:46.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004505) Ang pamamaraan ho niyan is, **[03:11:48.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004506) from 434,000, naging 59,000 na lang **[03:11:54.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004507) and tatapusin ho namin i-locate sila with PSA within the year **[03:11:58.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004508) or in fact, within the next 45 days. **[03:12:02.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004509) Ang naging sistema ho kasi, kung wala sila sa CBMS, **[03:12:06.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004510) ginawa namin yung mga names na nasa listahanan, **[03:12:09.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004511) pati na rin yung mga on-demand, **[03:12:10.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004512) yung mga galing sa mga LGU na mahihirap, **[03:12:13.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004513) kasi wala sila sa CBMS eh. **[03:12:14.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004514) Tapos, vinalidate na lang parehas namin ng PSA. **[03:12:18.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004515) Kasi, **[03:12:18.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004516) we have to remember, **[03:12:20.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004517) the law of 4Ps is clearly defined as a targeting tool **[03:12:23.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004518) na hindi kami pwede mag-enroll kung wala sila doon sa most current targeting tool. **[03:12:28.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004519) So, pumayak naman yung PSA na, **[03:12:31.720] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004520) kumbaga, it's an addendum to the CBMS na on-demand. **[03:12:34.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004521) Hinanap namin itong 434,069 **[03:12:37.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004522) nahanap na namin yung iba sa kanila, **[03:12:40.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004523) kaya nga pumapaan na to 59,000 **[03:12:42.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004524) at patuloy nating hahanapin. **[03:12:43.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004525) Bottom line, we will leave no family unfound. **[03:12:47.980] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004526) Great. **[03:12:48.280] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004527) I second that motion. **[03:12:52.100] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004528) Bago magsalita pa yung ibang CSOs, **[03:12:55.400] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004529) kung gustong magsalita, **[03:12:57.380] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004530) i-recognize muna ng chair, **[03:12:59.900] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-004531) Senator Aimee, for your second round. **[03:13:02.160] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004532) Ay, pasensya. **[03:13:03.060] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004533) Kasi nandun kami sa agriculture, katatapos lang po. **[03:13:05.860] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004534) So, the 2027 budget allocates an amount of 900 million to Tarabasa, **[03:13:12.200] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004535) while the DPED is also implementing a very similar program called Aral Program. **[03:13:17.040] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004536) Aral Program. **[03:13:17.160] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004537) Under RA 12028, yung academic recovery, **[03:13:23.200] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004538) how does one differ from the other? **[03:13:26.560] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004539) Are there different benchmarks? **[03:13:28.380] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004540) Is there a duplication of activities? **[03:13:30.700] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004541) Kasi parang yun ang intindi ng lahat tungkol sa coverage, **[03:13:33.940] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004542) target beneficiaries, performance indicators. **[03:13:37.180] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004543) At nagko-coordinate ba kayo ng DPED? **[03:13:40.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004544) Kasi parang sapaw-sapaw naman yung dalawang programa. **[03:13:43.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004545) Sir, this is under a memorandum of agreement with DPED. **[03:13:46.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004546) Ang, **[03:13:47.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004547) nangyari ho dito, **[03:13:48.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004548) DPED is the one that makes the target list na mga batang tuturuan. **[03:13:52.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004549) They're normally grade 2 lang. **[03:13:53.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004550) Pero ang paradigm ho kasi namin dito, **[03:13:55.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004551) grade 2 lang ho yung tinuturuan ng mga para-tutors namin. **[03:13:59.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004552) Now, ang paradigm ho kasi namin dito is to try to reformat social welfare. **[03:14:04.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004553) Noon kasi in educ assistance, bibigay mo lang, tapos na. **[03:14:07.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004554) Pero ngayon, kinonvert natin na pag gusto mo, **[03:14:09.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004555) halimbawa, meron ho tayong college student na nahihirapan makapagbayad ng matrikula, **[03:14:14.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004556) kesa ibigay na lang natin outright yung cash. **[03:14:17.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004557) They earn it through a cash-for-work program. **[03:14:20.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004558) So, the tarapasa is not, our lente doon, our lens is not literacy, **[03:14:25.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004559) but rather how to help our poor college students graduate out, **[03:14:28.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004560) but they earn their keep. **[03:14:30.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004561) Teka, I'm a bit confused. **[03:14:31.820] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004562) So, the teacher is the college student **[03:14:33.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004563) Correct. **[03:14:34.580] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004564) who needs additional income, **[03:14:36.720] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004565) and the student is the grade 2? **[03:14:40.020] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004566) Tama ba? **[03:14:40.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004567) Correct, madam. Madam Chair, that is correct. **[03:14:43.280] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004568) At yung pumipili ng grade 2 ay yung DPED. **[03:14:46.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004569) Pero, yung pumipili ng college student, sino? **[03:14:49.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004570) We get them from the suks and the luks. **[03:14:52.900] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004571) I see. I see. **[03:14:54.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004572) So, yung peho namin doon is the cash-for-work **[03:14:56.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004573) para dahan-dahan ma-reformat natin na conditional na ho sana **[03:15:00.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004574) sana ang tulong natin. **[03:15:01.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004575) Lalong na na, **[03:15:02.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004576) these college students **[03:15:03.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004577) can learn na **[03:15:04.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004578) ang social welfare **[03:15:04.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-004579) can be conditional also. **[03:15:06.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004580) I see. **[03:15:06.940] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004581) So, in the meantime, **[03:15:09.340] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-004582) yung DepEd na aral, **[03:15:11.080] Senator Imee R.

**[03:44:05.620] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005895) It's okay. **[03:44:06.340] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005896) And also for the others, **[03:44:07.880] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005897) I was going to mention that **[03:44:09.740] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005898) we also have the laws **[03:44:11.100] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005899) which recognize persons **[03:44:12.280] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005900) with rare diseases, **[03:44:14.020] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005901) the mental health law, **[03:44:15.920] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005902) the national cancer control law **[03:44:17.700] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005903) which all recognizes **[03:44:18.680] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005904) these persons with disabilities. **[03:44:21.020] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005905) These constituencies **[03:44:23.800] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005906) as persons with disabilities. **[03:44:25.880] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005907) But we have specific questions **[03:44:27.160] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005908) because we have many good policies **[03:44:29.480] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005909) which unfortunately **[03:44:30.400] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005910) remain on paper. **[03:44:32.160] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005911) For instance, **[03:44:32.800] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005912) the 1992 RA 7277 **[03:44:36.500] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005913) has a section on **[03:44:37.560] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005914) auxiliary social services **[03:44:39.100] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005915) which includes **[03:44:40.220] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005916) the provision of **[03:44:41.460] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005917) qualified sign language interpreters **[03:44:43.340] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005918) as part of that. **[03:44:45.040] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005919) And that has remained **[03:44:46.320] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005920) unimplemented since 1992. **[03:44:49.320] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005921) The DSWD, **[03:44:51.020] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005922) actually issued **[03:44:51.640] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005923) an administrative order **[03:44:52.820] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005924) in 2003-059 **[03:44:54.760] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005925) for the guidelines **[03:44:55.620] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005926) for the implementation **[03:44:57.060] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005927) of the auxiliary social services **[03:44:59.080] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005928) in coordination... **[03:45:00.000] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005929) A more recent one is because of the previous 1% earmarked spending of all agencies during the second decade of persons with disabilities lapsed from 2003 to 2012. **[03:45:17.080] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005930) So the general provision in the GAA annually has remained but with no more earmarking. **[03:45:22.800] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005931) So it's just requiring agencies to have programs and activities for persons with disabilities and older persons. **[03:45:31.760] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005932) In fact, there is a Joint Circular DBM-DSWD-NCDA-NCSC Joint Circular No. 1 Series of 2023 on the MEAL, the MEAL, Monitoring and Evaluation of Accountability for Learning. **[03:45:49.080] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005933) For and learning from the implementation of Section 12. **[03:45:52.800] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005934) So there has been a general provision 36. It was 37 in the succeeding years. It's been still in 2026. **[03:46:08.040] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005935) And this is, and we requested actually this week, we asked the DSWD to send us some of the annual, the reports because of this Joint Circular. **[03:46:21.760] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005936) And we were surprised. **[03:46:22.800] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005937) We were surprised to receive tables showing shelters, facilities, and rehabilitation programs. **[03:46:29.400] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005938) And so we were wondering, we weren't quite sure what was in their minds in looking at all of the, what was mandated in the general provision. **[03:46:40.060] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005939) In the budget hearing last Monday, and I think Senator, the Honorable Senator Erwin Tufo mentioned this, our DSWD Secretary mentioned in relation to this, **[03:46:50.980] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005940) we raised the, **[03:46:52.800] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005941) the implemented sections of the Magna Carta. **[03:46:57.480] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005942) And regarding particularly the auxiliary social services, **[03:47:01.060] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005943) and our good Secretary mentioned that they have already proposed indicators for the SGLC to compel LGUs to comply. **[03:47:12.780] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005944) And that has to do with my last point later on. **[03:47:16.980] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005945) And also our... **[03:47:18.220] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-005946) I thought your last point was now. **[03:47:20.360] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005947) Okay. **[03:47:20.880] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005948) Okay. **[03:47:22.800] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005949) N-C-D-A-E-D, Ms. Relova, and because we were asking even in the budget hearings of the House regarding Filipino Sign Language interpreters, **[03:47:35.400] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005950) and they mentioned an upcoming or ongoing DSWD Academy training allotted for 1 million four times a year, 45 trainees, and that you already have 80 interpreters on your roster. **[03:47:47.460] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005951) However, on the ground, we have received cases of rape victims. **[03:47:52.360] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005952) And they're usually women and girls who are unschooled and therefore much more vulnerable who have been advised by the social workers to learn sign language first on their own so that they could have the communication skills. **[03:48:05.880] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005953) Essentially, we feel this is highly discriminatory. **[03:48:08.940] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005954) And especially so since the Supreme Court has already issued a rule on interpreting, specifically institutionalizing deaf-rely interpreters for unschooled deaf people. **[03:48:21.560] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005955) So, **[03:48:22.360] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005956) they may not sign in the standard language, but they are highly communicative. **[03:48:29.240] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005957) So, we are very disturbed because the incidence of rape and sexual violence is about 10 times higher than the national average. **[03:48:37.340] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005958) Last 30 seconds. **[03:48:41.540] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005959) Last na po. **[03:48:42.720] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005960) Here is just a challenge or food for thought. **[03:48:47.660] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005961) We have been talking a lot since Monday about the PWD IDs. **[03:48:51.180] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005962) Maybe it is time for us to step back a little and maybe not put too much value on the discounts and the VAT exemption if we can provide a whole of government approach in really providing services to persons with disabilities. **[03:49:09.220] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005963) I can imagine that if there is no discount, then the government will have all agencies, not just DSWD na sila ang tinuturo lagi or DILG only. **[03:49:20.520] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005964) But all agencies have to provide, make their public services accessible to all. **[03:49:26.500] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005965) The reason that disability is such a beast to deal with siguro in governance, it's because it's a highly diverse group. **[03:49:35.200] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005966) You're talking about, we have many conceptions of sino ba yung totoong person with a disability and laking debate niyan between the SWDD or HNCDA and so on. **[03:49:48.060] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005967) Where are the deaf-blind? **[03:49:49.760] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005968) Where are, we don't talk very often about those on the spectrum, those with intellectual disabilities, and those with mental health, those who have episodic and chronic conditions. **[03:50:02.920] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005969) You don't see them. **[03:50:04.880] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005970) And sometimes they're all just lumped. **[03:50:06.760] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005971) O, psychosocial kayo lahat. **[03:50:09.060] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005972) Okay. **[03:50:10.120] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005973) And our experience with the deaf, it shows that this whole government approach is so critical. **[03:50:17.320] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005974) And this is our appeal to the committee. **[03:50:19.760] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005975) Let us not just put it all on one agency. **[03:50:23.320] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005976) Because for instance, if we look at the 2,000 proposed disability support allowance, 2,000 per month, one interpreting for one hour is already 1,000. **[03:50:34.500] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005977) Going to see a developmental pediatrician is at least 5,000. **[03:50:39.020] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005978) Taking a grab, just to go from if you're in a wheelchair or you have to carry your child who has severe cerebral palsy, **[03:50:48.820] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005979) will take you at least 800 pesos. **[03:50:51.500] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005980) Wala ka agad yung 2,000. **[03:50:57.360] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005981) There are now 35 deaf people who have been arrested without being read their rights. **[03:51:05.780] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005982) They do not know why they're being arrested. **[03:51:09.720] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005983) There was an attempt to translate the Miranda rights, **[03:51:13.700] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005984) but it was done, unfortunately, without the lack of awareness. **[03:51:17.860] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005985) That you have to ask deaf people. **[03:51:18.820] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005986) So that they can be understood. **[03:51:21.260] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005987) These are mostly deaf people who have never been to school. **[03:51:24.780] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005988) The number is growing. **[03:51:27.360] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005989) Where are we in the deaf-deaf SDGs? **[03:51:31.980] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005990) The time will be up in three years. **[03:51:34.500] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005991) We have had 15 years, SDG 1 on the poverty about leaving no one behind. **[03:51:42.560] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005992) Persons with disabilities and children are already left behind. **[03:51:45.500] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005993) Because there's no data even up until now. **[03:51:48.820] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005994) How much is government spending for persons with disabilities, including children with disabilities? **[03:51:54.660] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005995) The only study which has been done was in 2013 by Civil Society, the Philippine Coalition on the CRPD. **[03:52:01.160] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005996) But as of now, we don't know. **[03:52:03.160] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005997) We are invisible. **[03:52:05.160] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-005998) Okay, this is the final. **[03:52:07.160] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-005999) Yes, please, because also Senator Amy would actually like to interject here. **[03:52:11.160] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006000) Okay, so please wrap up, Ms. Liza. **[03:52:13.160] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006001) This is a provision which builds on, this is for the deaf, **[03:52:17.860] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006002) and the main point, it has several things, we have sent the draft, **[03:52:23.900] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006003) is to make persons with disabilities visible. **[03:52:28.100] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006004) We are not asking for any appropriation, but we are asking for certain accounting, **[03:52:34.780] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006005) you know, governance mechanisms, just so that it can be seen. **[03:52:39.260] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006006) Because if you're out of sight, you're out of mind. **[03:52:42.460] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006007) That's all. Thank you very much. **[03:52:43.760] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006008) Yes, Madam Chair. **[03:52:44.280] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006009) Thank you very much, Ms. Liza. **[03:52:45.580] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006010) Yes, for the Chair. **[03:52:47.300] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006011) Senator, I'm... **[03:52:47.860] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006012) Dr. Martinez's plea that, in fact, those with severe challenges should actually be provided their own stipend. **[03:52:57.900] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006013) I filed in the last Congress still a disability support fund already and refiled it in 2025 last year. **[03:53:07.260] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006014) But we had discussions. **[03:53:09.040] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006015) It's a far more modest proposition at 500 bucks per month, which is hardly enough, as you said, **[03:53:14.900] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006016) because it's extremely expensive, assistive devices. **[03:53:17.860] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006017) Therapy, et cetera, is already quite onerous. **[03:53:21.460] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006018) And we came to some kind of agreement at that point in time, sa 500 a month lang muna. **[03:53:28.440] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006019) Kasi kailangan mag-identify ka ng funding source. **[03:53:31.740] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006020) Hindi ba, alam ni Chair yun. **[03:53:33.660] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006021) At sana mabuhay ngayon, and I appreciate hearing it from you, **[03:53:38.200] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006022) because nanahimik na yung bilis. **[03:53:40.700] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006023) Sana buhayin natin ulit. **[03:53:42.460] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006024) At tigit sa lahat, very alarming nga ang criminal statistics, **[03:53:46.460] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006025) yung mga crimes against chastity. **[03:53:47.860] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006026) And sexual assault sa ating deaf community. **[03:53:53.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006027) And also the blind community. **[03:53:55.020] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006028) Talagang malaking problema yan. **[03:53:57.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006029) At kinakailangan talaga pagtuunan ng pansin. **[03:54:01.440] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006030) Pero in the SWD, severely hampered, as are the LGUs, **[03:54:05.260] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006031) for lack na nga of the psychologists, psychiatrists, and others who can identify mental **[03:54:12.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006032) and the cover, catch-all, psychosocial neurodivergence, **[03:54:17.860] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-006033) divergent, etc., classification. **[03:54:21.160] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006034) Salamat, Sen. Amy. **[03:54:22.080] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006035) Before I ask the Secretary if he'd like to respond initially dun sa inputs ni Ms. Liza, **[03:54:29.640] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006036) gusto kong i-confirm na meron nga ang mga disability support allowances bills filed. **[03:54:38.460] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006037) Yung sa representasyong ito, 2,000 a month din ang proposal sa bill. **[03:54:44.320] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006038) So, pagtutulungan na lang namin i-follow up. **[03:54:47.240] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006039) Muli. **[03:54:47.520] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006040) Muli itong kongreso yung proposals namin iyon. **[03:54:52.240] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006041) Ang ganda po nung proposal about a predictable rights-based social protection. **[03:54:58.700] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006042) And sinare ko rin kay Secrex nung mga briefings namin na gusto ko talaga ma-raise yung profile ng department **[03:55:05.580] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006043) aside from for their essential, urgent, tactical responses, yung long-term strategic trajectory ng department. **[03:55:15.080] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006044) And I think isang magandang possible anchor ito. **[03:55:17.520] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006045) Yung rights-based social protection na ang DSWD ang mag-champion yan. **[03:55:22.700] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006046) So, well-noted yung mga specific proposed, possible proposed amendments for 2027 na i-restore to at least 2026 levels **[03:55:32.920] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006047) at o i-adopt yung Tier 2. **[03:55:35.540] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006048) And then yung possible amendment on the child protection system. **[03:55:42.400] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006049) Kaugnay din ito sa kapapasa din naming batang ligtas. **[03:55:47.520] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006050) Law, no? **[03:55:48.140] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006051) Laban nga sa OSAIC, CISAEM, at pati laban sa NVE. **[03:55:51.700] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006052) And then yun na nga po yung disability support allowance. **[03:55:54.800] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006053) So, Secrex, would you like to respond? **[03:55:56.700] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006054) Well-noted, Madam Chair. **[03:55:58.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006055) Actually, Social Watch Philippines is a partner of ours in the cabinet cluster on social development and social protection. **[03:56:08.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006056) So, all the points that they raise are well-noted. **[03:56:10.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006057) I just want to put on record na meron na ho tayong mga incubator social protection programs in those areas. **[03:56:17.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006058) At least that you mentioned. **[03:56:19.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006059) First of all is yung binalik sa house na budget na 25 million for Project Aruga. **[03:56:24.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006060) Project Aruga is a pilot project that takes care of the family, the caregivers themselves, as well as the child na may disability. **[03:56:32.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006061) So, it calls for support in early detection, assessments. **[03:56:37.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006062) Number two, meron ng disability support allowance na TIG to 2,000. **[03:56:41.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006063) And then they also get auxiliary services. **[03:56:43.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006064) We're going to use our AICs to tie up with service providers in the area. **[03:56:47.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006065) So that whatever therapy or whatever intervention that they need, especially for children with special needs, **[03:56:54.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006066) can seek help using our guarantee letters ng AICs program, another use of the AICs program. **[03:57:00.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006067) And then it also calls for, it also has a built-in capacity building for family support **[03:57:06.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006068) because it can be taxing for the family of a person with disability on how to cope. **[03:57:12.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006069) We also have to take care of the family themselves. **[03:57:14.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006070) And last, advocacy campaigns. **[03:57:17.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006071) A lot of people are still ignorant, not because they choose to do so, **[03:57:20.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006072) but because of lack of information on what they should and not do, **[03:57:24.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006073) what they should say and what not say, **[03:57:26.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006074) or how they should refer to people with disabilities. **[03:57:29.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006075) So, the whole program is holistic. **[03:57:31.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006076) Sa HGAB po, nabalik na ho siya, 25 million. **[03:57:34.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006077) Malit lang ho siya, but it's a good starting point. **[03:57:37.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006078) These are pilot programs in selected LGUs that we can learn from **[03:57:41.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006079) so that pagka time na may budget na mas malaki, **[03:57:45.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006080) we can already have the learnings and the impact. **[03:57:47.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006081) The assessments and the monitorings. **[03:57:49.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006082) Pangalawa po, the other fund that was restored was the 25 million fund for Project SAFE, **[03:57:56.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006083) which is an OSAIC advocacy campaign. **[03:57:59.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006084) One, it teaches people or the young people on what to look out for in their families, **[03:58:04.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006085) the red flags. **[03:58:06.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006086) Pangalawa, it has a strong reporting system and network of care for OSAIC victims. **[03:58:12.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006087) Pangatlo, obviously what we do best are healing services in our care facilities. **[03:58:17.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006088) And pangapat, recovery and reintegration services. **[03:58:22.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006089) So, it's again a pilot because of the tight fiscal space, **[03:58:25.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006090) but at least nandun na ho siya, the 25 million. **[03:58:27.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006091) Now, I totally agree with the good professor on restoring sana the attached agency budgets **[03:58:35.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006092) because these are administrative in nature. **[03:58:37.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006093) As mentioned to the good chairwoman, **[03:58:39.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006094) marami ho doon are employee-based na compensation na maaring mawala by next year **[03:58:45.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006095) kung hindi ho maibabalik yung mga points. **[03:58:47.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006096) Now, we can do a better job with the implementation of FSL. **[03:58:54.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006097) We admit that, we admitted that in the House. **[03:58:58.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006098) Kaming nga mismo sa Departamento, kulang ho kami. **[03:59:01.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006099) Now, what is the concrete step towards the direction that you want? **[03:59:05.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006100) The Department has an academy. **[03:59:06.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006101) It's about to be opened by the end of the year. **[03:59:08.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006102) Of course, we're running it off-site now. **[03:59:11.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006103) The academy will work with the Philippine Association of the Deaf **[03:59:14.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006104) to help capacitate our own service providers. **[03:59:17.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006105) As well as LGU service providers **[03:59:19.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006106) by doing these courses inside our academy, these certification programs. **[03:59:25.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006107) Kung kami nga ho mismo, like I said, we can do a better job, **[03:59:28.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006108) then admittedly, we should be doing a better job. **[03:59:32.800] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006109) Salamat, Secrex. **[03:59:34.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006110) Can I just wrap up, Madam Chair? **[03:59:36.960] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006111) Yes, of course, please. **[03:59:37.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006112) Now, yung 1%, we feel strongly about that. **[03:59:40.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006113) That GMC came to life because we wanted to make sure **[03:59:44.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006114) na may mga positions in government **[03:59:46.880] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006115) that are reserved for people with disability. **[03:59:49.280] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006116) Pero tama ho kayo nung sinubmit yung mga plano. **[03:59:52.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006117) Sometimes you'd feel that they're haphazardly done. **[03:59:54.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006118) That's why I spoke to Secretary Kim **[03:59:56.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006119) na we're going to do a budget converging. **[04:00:00.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006120) planning, meaning **[04:00:01.940] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006121) we will capacitate the departments **[04:00:04.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006122) on what is qualified **[04:00:06.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006123) and what is not qualified in those **[04:00:08.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006124) accessibility plans. **[04:00:10.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006125) Kayo nga nagbanggit kung parang **[04:00:12.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006126) feeling nyo kung ano-ano na lang yung nilagay **[04:00:14.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006127) doon. So we totally agree. **[04:00:16.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006128) Give us the time to work with DBM **[04:00:17.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006129) and the agencies concerned so that not only **[04:00:20.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006130) do we reserve 1% of our **[04:00:22.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006131) hiring plan, of our manpower base **[04:00:24.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006132) but to also make sure that our workplaces **[04:00:26.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006133) are accessible **[04:00:28.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006134) and conducive **[04:00:30.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006135) to working for people with disabilities. **[04:00:33.560] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006136) Salamat **[04:00:34.160] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006137) Secrex. **[04:00:37.260] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006138) Liza, **[04:00:38.320] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006139) very briefly please kasi gusto ko rin **[04:00:40.140] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006140) tanungin ang si Ms. Emily **[04:00:42.100] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006141) kung gusto rin nilang mag-input. **[04:00:44.200] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006142) Coordinate po regarding the **[04:00:46.040] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006143) FSL training, there is a certification **[04:00:48.020] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006144) process for all government agencies **[04:00:49.980] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006145) and private entities who are **[04:00:51.920] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006146) teaching FSL. **[04:00:54.380] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006147) Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino **[04:00:55.980] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006148) is the agency to coordinate with. **[04:00:58.060] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006149) To meet them tomorrow. **[04:00:59.920] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006150) Excellent.

If you remember **[04:01:05.960] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006153) before we adjourn for the day, pwede po **[04:01:08.160] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006154) kayong humabol.

Beridico** (asr-006157) Thank you, Madam Chair. **[04:01:16.040] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006158) May ano lang po siguro ako **[04:01:17.520] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006159) tanong din sa DSWD. **[04:01:22.080] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006160) Secretary Rex, **[04:01:23.880] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006161) kanina po diba na-present natin yung budget **[04:01:25.760] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006162) for the social **[04:01:27.800] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006163) pension this year, 2027, **[04:01:30.180] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006164) 51.6 billion po, right? **[04:01:32.680] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006165) So, tanong lang po, ilan po yung **[04:01:34.100] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006166) target beneficiaries natin for now? **[04:01:36.500] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006167) Kasi po, honestly, **[04:01:38.320] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006168) napakalaki pa po talaga yung population **[04:01:40.260] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006169) ng mga older persons na wala man lang **[04:01:42.180] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006170) na-receive na anumang pension **[04:01:44.080] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006171) nasa 42% po based sa **[04:01:46.380] COSE Executive Director Emily N.

Beridico** (asr-006174) million po yung walang natatanggap **[04:01:51.900] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006175) ni anumang pension. So, yung advocacy **[04:01:53.840] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006176) po namin, matagal na to. Alam ko si **[04:01:55.880] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006177) Sen. Reza isa to sa nangunguna dito. **[04:01:57.800] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006178) Sa Sen. yung magkaroon ng **[04:01:59.260] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006179) universal social pension, pero **[04:02:01.400] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006180) unfortunately, since 2006 **[04:02:03.500] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006181) na pinupush natin, di pa po ito na-approve. **[04:02:06.560] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006182) Pero, sana **[04:02:07.660] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006183) madagdagan man lang din po yung mga beneficiaries. **[04:02:10.740] COSE Executive Director Emily N.

Beridico** (asr-006186) Northern Summer last week. **[04:02:16.120] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006187) Then, isa po sa mga partner LGUs **[04:02:17.900] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006188) namin, nakausap po yung mga senior citizens **[04:02:20.060] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006189) organizations, yung Federation **[04:02:21.800] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006190) and OSCA. **[04:02:23.940] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006191) Dahil po dun sa CBMS ngayon, **[04:02:26.600] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006192) um, para **[04:02:27.800] COSE Executive Director Emily N.

Beridico** (asr-006195) tuloy ng mga bagong beneficiaries ng **[04:02:33.580] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006196) social pension. Yung mga age 60, **[04:02:35.880] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006197) mayroon daw po silang nasa listahan ng mga **[04:02:37.700] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006198) 80 years old yung nabab na, na hindi **[04:02:39.680] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006199) pa rin po nakakatanggap. At hindi po **[04:02:41.800] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006200) napasama doon sa list. So, **[04:02:43.940] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006201) with that po, kasi mayroon din po **[04:02:45.640] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006202) sana nga kaming pinupropose **[04:02:47.680] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006203) sa mga LGUs na partner namin, yung **[04:02:49.620] COSE Executive Director Emily N.

Beridico** (asr-006208) namin to sa NCSC para magamit **[04:02:59.680] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006209) po sana, na-focus po talaga sa senior **[04:03:01.560] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006210) citizens. So, nasa OSCA siya **[04:03:03.660] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006211) or MSWDO, CSWDO, **[04:03:05.960] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006212) once na mamatay po yung **[04:03:07.480] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006213) older persons, tanggal agad. Tapos once na may **[04:03:09.600] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006214) mag-60, ano agad, **[04:03:11.420] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006215) ma-i-enroll po agad. So, mas **[04:03:13.400] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006216) madali po siyang **[04:03:14.900] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006217) maano natin yung population **[04:03:17.460] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006218) po ng mga older persons. Yan po. Thank you. **[04:03:20.480] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006219) Thank you rin, Ms. **[04:03:21.600] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006220) Emily. **[04:03:22.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006220-split-2) Madam **[04:03:23.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006221) Chair, ma'am, points of clarification. **[04:03:25.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006222) Yung CBMS, hindi po, **[04:03:27.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006223) hindi po siya age-based, no? **[04:03:30.000] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006224) So, **[04:03:30.250] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006224-split-2) it covers everybody? **[04:03:31.600] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006225) Yes, po. **[04:03:32.080] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006225-split-2) Well, **[04:03:33.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006226) 4.2 po yung target beneficiaries **[04:03:35.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006227) this year, because yun po yung budget na **[04:03:37.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006228) available. Pero sana nga parehas **[04:03:39.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006229) kami na kasama nyo kami sa **[04:03:41.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006230) lahat universal. **[04:03:43.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006231) But number two, yung CBMS doesn't **[04:03:45.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006232) exclude based on age. Pero **[04:03:47.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006233) adminado rin po ang PSA and the good **[04:03:49.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006234) chair can validate this, na medyo malaki nga yung **[04:03:51.520] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006235) naging exclusion because it probably was the **[04:03:53.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006236) first time that we were running CBMS nationally. **[04:03:56.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006237) Now, ang panawa, **[04:03:57.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006238) yung advice namin sa mga LGU, at alam **[04:03:59.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006239) na rin nila ito, na dahil lahat po ng **[04:04:01.340] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006240) financial assistance, not just from the **[04:04:03.440] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006241) SWD, dahan-dahan na **[04:04:05.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006242) nakinukuha sa CBMS, **[04:04:07.160] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006243) seryosohin nila. You have to remember, ako ho, **[04:04:09.220] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006244) nag-imero kasi ako. The CBMS is only as good as **[04:04:11.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006245) the support from the local government unit. **[04:04:13.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006246) Kasi if you are not going to monitor **[04:04:15.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006247) the enumerators, talagang hindi yan makakapasok **[04:04:17.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006248) kung saan-saan. And hindi lang naman ho ito sa **[04:04:19.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006249) seniors nangyari, pati sa 4Ps nangyari. **[04:04:22.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006250) So, **[04:04:23.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006251) I think our local government units will do better **[04:04:25.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006252) now in monitoring the enumerators **[04:04:27.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006253) kasi sila ang magiging **[04:04:29.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006254) biktima sa dulo, mga constituent nila. **[04:04:31.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006255) Now, Madam, you mentioned **[04:04:33.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006256) na may mga 60 pa taas na hindi pa **[04:04:35.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006257) nakakatanggap. As mentioned a while ago kasi, **[04:04:37.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006258) we reformatted the guidelines in the **[04:04:39.500] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006259) department na dahil limitado yung pera, **[04:04:41.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006260) binaliktad natin, unahin natin yung mas **[04:04:43.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006261) matatanda, paatras. Kasi **[04:04:45.180] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006262) for obvious reasons na hindi **[04:04:47.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006263) natin sure kung baka **[04:04:49.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006264) anytime, hindi na sila **[04:04:51.460] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006265) tumagal. So, that's why pinaatras natin. **[04:04:53.840] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006266) Meaning, 100, pababa muna. **[04:04:55.680] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006267) That's why you will probably see **[04:04:57.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006268) like that sa mga LGU na bakit **[04:04:59.620] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006269) mas marami sa 60, tapos **[04:05:01.580] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006270) yung mga 70 wala, pero mas marami nakakatanggap **[04:05:03.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006271) dun sa matatanda. Binaliktad **[04:05:05.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006272) ho namin yun. Now, **[04:05:07.380] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006273) lastly, I know **[04:05:09.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006274) the intention of a database **[04:05:11.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006275) for the seniors is good. But **[04:05:13.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006276) alam po nyo, from my experience **[04:05:15.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006277) as mayor and now **[04:05:17.600] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006278) as secretary, multiple databases **[04:05:19.660] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006279) can be detrimental to our health. **[04:05:22.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006280) Ganyan ho nangyayari kasi may **[04:05:23.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006281) database si ganito, may database si ganyan, **[04:05:25.560] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006282) may database si ganito. I think the **[04:05:27.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006283) intent of the CBMS is to centralize the **[04:05:29.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006284) database so that all of us can just look at that. **[04:05:32.120] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006285) Siguro ang payo ko na lang, and maybe the **[04:05:33.740] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006286) Senate committee can look into **[04:05:35.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006287) it, the stronger implementation of the **[04:05:37.780] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006288) CBMS. Nandiyan na ho yung pera. We're spending so **[04:05:39.700] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006289) much money on it already. The CBMS **[04:05:41.860] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006290) can be a very powerful tool if **[04:05:43.540] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006291) executed right. **[04:05:46.820] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006292) Clarification lang po. **[04:05:48.480] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006293) Alright, Ms. Yannis. **[04:05:50.360] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006294) Secretary Rex, ang sinabi ko po **[04:05:51.960] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006295) yung experience po sa Northern Summer, **[04:05:53.860] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006296) yung 80 years old ang di pa nakakatanggap **[04:05:56.120] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006297) na matagal na po, pero mas nakatanggap **[04:05:57.760] COSE Executive Director Emily N. Beridico** (asr-006298) yung mga younger. **[04:05:59.420] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006299) So, ang theory ko ho dyan, **[04:06:02.400] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006300) again, dahil limited yung **[04:06:04.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006301) funds natin, syempre yung incumbent, **[04:06:06.360] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006302) hindi naman namin pwede alisin yun. **[04:06:08.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006303) So, kung nababawasan na po kami, **[04:06:10.000] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006304) pabaliktad namin ginagawa. Kukuha kami **[04:06:12.020] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006305) from the altered database. It could be **[04:06:14.060] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006306) those people are not in the CBMS **[04:06:15.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006307) because the exclusion is quite big, and I mentioned that **[04:06:18.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006308) to Secretary Balisakan already, **[04:06:19.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006309) as end user, na feeling ko the exclusion nga **[04:06:21.900] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006310) is greater than 30%. **[04:06:23.300] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006311) But, what did we do with Secretary Balisakan? **[04:06:26.260] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006312) We now have an on-demand, **[04:06:27.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006313) parang sa four piece, meaning **[04:06:28.980] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006314) our people, the MSWDO **[04:06:31.820] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006315) and the PSA, can introduce **[04:06:34.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006316) people into the database **[04:06:35.640] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006317) if we validate na totoo itong mga taong to. **[04:06:38.960] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006318) So, nababawa, **[04:06:40.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006319) sabi ng MSWDO, **[04:06:41.920] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006320) si Rex Gatchalian ay **[04:06:43.480] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006321) buhay, nandito sa harapan namin, **[04:06:46.100] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006322) nagbibigay kami ng pension sa kanya, **[04:06:47.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006323) kailangan talaga ng tulong. **[04:06:49.800] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006324) Then, DSWD, **[04:06:52.040] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006325) MSWD, PSA, **[04:06:54.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006326) can certify that this person should be **[04:06:56.320] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006327) put into the database. **[04:06:57.760] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006328) So, it's a workaround **[04:07:00.140] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006329) na kasi close-ended si CBMS, **[04:07:02.200] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006330) but we created ways to tap **[04:07:04.240] DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian** (asr-006331) into it, even para sa four piece. **[04:07:07.960] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006332) Salamat, **[04:07:08.960] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006333) Secrex. **[04:07:09.680] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006334) Moving forward in terms of yung **[04:07:11.680] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006335) pag-consolidate na ng mga databases **[04:07:13.880] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006336) and part of the resolution **[04:07:16.020] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006337) nung ano nga ba yung relationship **[04:07:18.020] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006338) between DSWD at saka **[04:07:19.800] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006339) NCSC, **[04:07:22.960] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006340) maybe a **[04:07:24.140] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006341) starting point for that is the **[04:07:25.740] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006342) CBMS. I'm just thinking aloud, **[04:07:27.760] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006343) you know, CBMS, pero may paraan **[04:07:30.320] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006344) na i-disaggregate yung data **[04:07:32.040] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006345) ng senior citizens, and then **[04:07:34.000] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006346) merong ganyang platform **[04:07:36.240] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006347) para i-onboard **[04:07:37.980] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006348) yung mga ma-validate na additional. **[04:07:40.180] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006349) So, I'm not the techie **[04:07:41.640] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006350) person in the room, so just thinking aloud **[04:07:44.120] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006351) since it has come up so much. **[04:07:46.940] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006352) So, **[04:07:48.300] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006353) Ms. Liza, naalala nyo pa ba yung huling **[04:07:50.200] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006354) input nyo? **[04:07:50.800] Dr. Liza Martinez** (asr-006354-split-2) Hindi po. **[04:07:51.300] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006354-split-3) Sige, anyway, **[04:07:52.060] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006355) we will be keeping in touch with each other **[04:07:54.220] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006356) papunta po sa budget plenary **[04:07:56.040] Senator Risa Hontiveros** (asr-006357) natin.
