Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: how the Presidential Communications Office fulfills one of the government's asr-000050 00:03:54.890 --> 00:03:59.870 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: most fundamental responsibilities, asr-000051 00:03:59.870 --> 00:04:04.170 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: keeping the people accurately, promptly, and meaningfully informed. asr-000052 00:04:04.710 --> 00:04:09.130 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Under Executive Order No. 16, Series of 2023, asr-000053 00:04:09.470 --> 00:04:16.230 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: the PCO serves as the communication arm of the Executive Branch, asr-000054 00:04:16.230 --> 00:04:19.750 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: responsible for formulating, coordinating, and implementing integrated public information programs asr-000055 00:04:19.750 --> 00:04:22.490 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: concerning the policies, programs, and activities of the President and the National Government. asr-000058 00:04:22.490 --> 00:04:25.930 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: This function is essential to effective governance. asr-000059 00:04:26.430 --> 00:04:33.790 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Government programs can serve the public only when citizens understand what assistance is available, asr-000060 00:04:34.290 --> 00:04:41.350 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: how to access it, why policies are being adopted, and how public institutions may be held accountable. asr-000061 00:04:41.350 --> 00:04:46.650 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Clear communication, therefore, connects policy with public service, asr-000062 00:04:46.990 --> 00:04:51.150 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: supports participation, and helps sustain trust, asr-000063 00:04:51.150 --> 00:04:53.790 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: between the government and the people. asr-000064 00:04:54.190 --> 00:04:58.130 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: This responsibility has become even more significant at a time asr-000065 00:04:58.130 --> 00:05:01.830 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: when social media is woven into everyday life. asr-000066 00:05:01.830 --> 00:05:05.350 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Information now reaches millions within seconds, asr-000067 00:05:05.490 --> 00:05:13.590 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: but so do misinformation, disinformation, manipulated content, and AI-generated material. asr-000068 00:05:14.260 --> 00:05:19.610 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: The PCO must be present where people receive and exchange information, asr-000069 00:05:19.890 --> 00:05:22.790 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: not merely to broadcast official messages, asr-000070 00:05:23.170 --> 00:06:30.010 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: but to communicate quickly, clearly, credibly, and directly affect the daily lives of the Filipinos. asr-000071 00:06:30.010 --> 00:06:35.770 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: The total budget of the PCO and its attached agencies and corporations asr-000072 00:06:35.770 --> 00:06:42.870 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: was 2.768 billion under the fiscal year 2026 NEP asr-000073 00:06:42.870 --> 00:06:50.450 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: and is proposed at 2.621 billion under the fiscal year 2027 NEP. asr-000076 00:06:50.450 --> 00:06:57.370 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: We look forward to a productive discussion on the PCO's fiscal year 2026 performance asr-000077 00:06:57.370 --> 00:07:05.050 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: and on the concrete outputs, safeguards, and measurable results to be delivered under its fiscal year 2027 proposal. asr-000078 00:07:05.830 --> 00:07:13.750 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Our objective is to support a communication system that informs rather than confuses, engages rather than excludes, asr-000079 00:07:13.750 --> 00:07:19.250 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: and strengthens the people's trust in government through truth, clarity, and accountability. asr-000080 00:07:19.250 --> 00:07:20.730 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Thank you and good afternoon. asr-000081 00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:27.720 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Secretary Dave Gomez, sir, you may now proceed with your presentation. asr-000082 00:07:32.030 --> 00:07:38.190 Secretary David M.

Gomez: On behalf of the Presidential Communications Office, let me express our gratitude for the gracious invitation today asr-000084 00:07:45.410 --> 00:07:49.790 Secretary David M. Gomez: and for the very warm welcome to the August halls of the House of Representatives. asr-000085 00:07:50.510 --> 00:07:56.310 Secretary David M. Gomez: It will be my honor, together with the heads and officials of the PCO and our attached agencies, asr-000086 00:07:56.530 --> 00:08:02.830 Secretary David M. Gomez: to present and explain the rationale behind our proposed budget for fiscal year 2027. asr-000087 00:08:03.670 --> 00:08:12.630 Secretary David M. Gomez: But before I proceed, Madam Chair, allow me to simply frame the context of our proposed 2027 appropriations. asr-000088 00:08:12.630 --> 00:08:25.750 Secretary David M. Gomez: The PCO is proposing a budget of 2.62 billion pesos, which is 6.6% lower than our current 2026 budget. asr-000089 00:08:26.250 --> 00:08:35.130 Secretary David M. Gomez: This represents a measly 0.03% of the total 7.2 trillion proposed national budget. asr-000090 00:08:35.770 --> 00:08:43.470 Secretary David M. Gomez: We have the lowest budget and the last department-level agency of the Executive Department in terms of budgetary allocation. asr-000091 00:08:44.410 --> 00:08:56.010 Secretary David M. Gomez: We may have the least in the budget priority, but we assure your honors that the PCO and our attached agencies are up to the Herculean task of engaging and involving the citizenry, asr-000092 00:08:56.010 --> 00:09:02.590 Secretary David M. Gomez: and the mass media in enriching the quality of public discourse on all matters of governance. asr-000093 00:09:03.690 --> 00:09:04.550 Secretary David M. Gomez: Next slide, please. asr-000094 00:09:05.570 --> 00:09:22.370 Secretary David M. Gomez: As I have just mentioned, the PCO family's budget proposal is 2.62 billion pesos, or around 0.03% of the 7.2 trillion national expenditure program for fiscal year 2027. asr-000095 00:09:23.400 --> 00:09:25.970 Secretary David M. Gomez: And it is 6.6% lower. asr-000096 00:09:25.970 --> 00:09:29.450 Secretary David M. Gomez: than the 2026 current level of our budget. asr-000097 00:09:29.450 --> 00:09:45.390 Secretary David M. Gomez: Just very quickly, as per Executive Order No. 16, you will see that the PCO has six attached agencies and three GOCCs that are also attached to the PCO. asr-000098 00:09:45.510 --> 00:09:55.750 Secretary David M. Gomez: They are the Bureau of Broadcast Services, the Bureau of Communication Services, the News and Information Bureau, the Philippine Information Agency, Radio TV Malacanang or RTVM, asr-000099 00:09:55.890 --> 00:09:59.090 Secretary David M. Gomez: IBC 13, PTV 4, APO Press, and the Philippine Information Agency. asr-000100 00:09:59.090 --> 00:10:01.070 Secretary David M. Gomez: We have the EPO, the Program of Production, and the National Printing Office. asr-000101 00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:11.560 Secretary David M. Gomez: Here, the following are the major programs, activities, and projects to be funded by our proposed fiscal year 2027 budget. asr-000102 00:10:14.350 --> 00:10:20.390 Secretary David M. Gomez: As Madam Chair pointed out, the highest in terms of our priorities, the Presidential Communications Program, asr-000103 00:10:21.230 --> 00:10:25.730 Secretary David M. Gomez: is at the core of our mandate to serve as the primary communications arm of the Executive Department, asr-000104 00:10:26.150 --> 00:10:31.510 Secretary David M. Gomez: ensuring that government messages are clear, consistent, and accessible to the Filipino people. asr-000117 00:10:33.130 --> 00:10:46.910 Secretary David M. Gomez: It focuses on the formulation, coordination, and implementation of integrated public information plans and programs that effectively communicate the priorities, policies, and achievements of the President and the Philippine Government. asr-000118 00:10:47.210 --> 00:11:00.850 Secretary David M. Gomez: It not only involves the crafting of messages, but also the careful alignment of communication strategies across all agencies to ensure coherence, clarity in how government policies and programs are conveyed to the public. asr-000119 00:11:01.510 --> 00:11:12.470 Secretary David M. Gomez: In a time when information is fast-moving and often contested, the program ensures that our citizens receive timely, accurate, and relevant information straight from the government. asr-000120 00:11:12.770 --> 00:11:23.550 Secretary David M. Gomez: It is anchored on our sector outcome, which is people-centered, innovative, clean, efficient, effective, and inclusive delivery of public goods and services. asr-000121 00:11:24.310 --> 00:11:28.990 Secretary David M. Gomez: Strategic communications plays a vital role in realizing this outcome. asr-000122 00:11:28.990 --> 00:11:30.890 Secretary David M. Gomez: By delivering clear, asr-000123 00:11:31.130 --> 00:11:43.550 Secretary David M. Gomez: reliable information, we strengthen transparency and accountability in governance, while ensuring that services and programs are better understood and appreciated by the people they are intended to serve. asr-000124 00:11:43.810 --> 00:11:54.970 Secretary David M. Gomez: Communication, therefore, becomes a tool not only for information sharing, but also for enabling citizens to fully benefit from government programs and participate in the democratic process. asr-000125 00:11:55.750 --> 00:12:00.230 Secretary David M. Gomez: In line with this, the organizational outcome that we seek to achieve in public access, asr-000126 00:12:00.510 --> 00:12:01.430 Secretary David M. Gomez: engagement, and participation in the democratic process, asr-000127 00:12:01.430 --> 00:12:04.610 Secretary David M. Gomez: and understanding of presidential policies and government programs. asr-000128 00:12:04.830 --> 00:12:14.150 Secretary David M. Gomez: This means that we are not only ensuring that information reaches the people, but also that it resonates with them and encourages meaningful dialogue. asr-000129 00:12:14.970 --> 00:12:23.830 Secretary David M. Gomez: Through accessible and inclusive communication, we empower citizens to engage in public discourse, to raise their concerns, and to take part in nation-building. asr-000130 00:12:23.830 --> 00:12:34.030 Secretary David M. Gomez: In doing so, the program fosters a deeper appreciation of government initiatives and helps bridge the gap between policy formulation and citizen experience. asr-000137 00:12:35.370 --> 00:12:39.490 Secretary David M. Gomez: To realize these outcomes, we are implementing several concrete activities. asr-000138 00:12:39.890 --> 00:12:48.010 Secretary David M. Gomez: Among this is the freedom of information program, which upholds transparency by granting citizens greater access to government data and information. asr-000139 00:12:48.010 --> 00:12:55.670 Secretary David M. Gomez: We also conduct regular press briefings to provide timely updates and clarifications on the president's directives and government initiatives. asr-000140 00:12:56.530 --> 00:13:00.770 Secretary David M. Gomez: To strengthen information literacy, we have launched the Maging Mapanuri asr-000141 00:13:00.770 --> 00:13:02.950 Secretary David M.

Gomez: workshops designed to combat disinformation asr-000143 00:13:04.790 --> 00:13:06.670 Secretary David M. Gomez: and promote responsible asr-000144 00:13:06.670 --> 00:13:08.390 Secretary David M. Gomez: news consumption. We asr-000145 00:13:08.390 --> 00:13:10.410 Secretary David M. Gomez: likewise provide various communication asr-000146 00:13:10.410 --> 00:13:12.970 Secretary David M. Gomez: workshops and capability-building activities asr-000147 00:13:12.970 --> 00:13:14.290 Secretary David M. Gomez: for state media asr-000148 00:13:14.290 --> 00:13:16.570 Secretary David M. Gomez: and the covering media, enhancing asr-000149 00:13:16.570 --> 00:13:18.470 Secretary David M. Gomez: their skills in messaging, crisis asr-000150 00:13:18.470 --> 00:13:20.070 Secretary David M. Gomez: communications, and innovative asr-000151 00:13:20.070 --> 00:13:22.630 Secretary David M. Gomez: content delivery. The program asr-000152 00:13:22.630 --> 00:13:24.630 Secretary David M. Gomez: also undertakes the coverage asr-000153 00:13:24.630 --> 00:13:26.550 Secretary David M. Gomez: of presidential engagements, both asr-000154 00:13:26.550 --> 00:13:28.790 Secretary David M. Gomez: local and international, ensuring asr-000155 00:13:28.790 --> 00:13:30.670 Secretary David M. Gomez: that the Filipino people are kept asr-000156 00:13:30.670 --> 00:13:32.490 Secretary David M. Gomez: informed of the President's asr-000157 00:13:32.490 --> 00:13:34.290 Secretary David M.

Gomez: in my old life, wearing the journalist asr-001957 01:13:56.680 --> 01:13:59.020 Secretary David M. Gomez: hat, Back in the day when asr-001958 01:13:59.020 --> 01:14:00.760 Secretary David M. Gomez: I was with the Philippine Star covering asr-001959 01:14:00.760 --> 01:14:03.520 Secretary David M. Gomez: Congress, we were the ones who pioneered asr-001960 01:14:03.520 --> 01:14:06.180 Secretary David M. Gomez: Congress Forum po. When I was asr-001961 01:14:06.180 --> 01:14:08.900 Secretary David M. Gomez: an official of the Congressional Press Corps, asr-001962 01:14:09.140 --> 01:14:10.640 Secretary David M. Gomez: we were the ones in I asr-001963 01:14:10.640 --> 01:14:14.580 Secretary David M. Gomez: think 1989 or 1991 who conceptualized Congress asr-001964 01:14:14.580 --> 01:14:17.780 Secretary David M. Gomez: Forum. We were block timers in PTV4. asr-001965 01:14:17.780 --> 01:14:20.000 Secretary David M. Gomez: And even that early on, I asr-001966 01:14:20.000 --> 01:14:23.600 Secretary David M. Gomez: believe on the need to communicate what asr-001967 01:14:23.600 --> 01:14:26.840 Secretary David M. Gomez: Congress is doing from the national asr-001968 01:14:26.840 --> 01:14:28.980 Secretary David M. Gomez: level down to the grassroots level. So asr-001969 01:14:28.980 --> 01:14:32.480 Secretary David M. Gomez: noon pa lang po, talagang believer na asr-001970 01:14:32.480 --> 01:14:34.180 Secretary David M. Gomez: po ako on the need to asr-001971 01:14:34.180 --> 01:14:36.640 Secretary David M. Gomez: have a program such as Congress Forum asr-001972 01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:38.900 Secretary David M. Gomez: and now Congress TV. It has asr-001973 01:14:38.900 --> 01:14:41.620 Secretary David M. Gomez: expanded in terms of its programming, in asr-001974 01:14:41.620 --> 01:14:44.580 Secretary David M. Gomez: terms of its reach, but it still asr-001975 01:14:44.580 --> 01:14:46.980 Secretary David M. Gomez: pretty much does the same, has asr-001976 01:14:46.980 --> 01:14:50.640 Secretary David M. Gomez: the same goal and objective. Doon po asr-001977 01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:53.020 Secretary David M. Gomez: sa tanong nila sa anong mangyayari asr-001978 01:14:53.020 --> 01:14:55.120 Secretary David M. Gomez: sa mga programa, anong mangyayari sa mga asr-001979 01:14:55.120 --> 01:14:58.340 Secretary David M.

Gomez: with the GCG. next week po. asr-001981 01:15:01.440 --> 01:15:03.000 Secretary David M. Gomez: Kasi isa nga po sa nire -require asr-001982 01:15:03.000 --> 01:15:06.160 Secretary David M. Gomez: nila is the privatization plan from asr-001983 01:15:06.160 --> 01:15:09.140 Secretary David M. Gomez: the station itself, what they plan to asr-001984 01:15:09.140 --> 01:15:11.160 Secretary David M. Gomez: do and that's what we will take asr-001985 01:15:11.160 --> 01:15:14.540 Secretary David M. Gomez: a look at and siguro po asr-001986 01:15:14.540 --> 01:15:16.900 Secretary David M.

Gomez: privatization plan and program, we can share asr-001989 01:15:22.880 --> 01:15:26.220 Secretary David M. Gomez: it with the Honorable Committee. Ang akin asr-001990 01:15:26.220 --> 01:15:27.780 Secretary David M. Gomez: lang po, ang baseline ko dyan, asr-001991 01:15:27.900 --> 01:15:29.640 Secretary David M. Gomez: I told my my team, is to asr-001992 01:15:29.640 --> 01:15:32.080 Secretary David M. Gomez: look at how we privatized RPN asr-001993 01:15:32.080 --> 01:15:34.740 Secretary David M. Gomez: -9 in the past. Similarly, a sequestered asr-001994 01:15:34.740 --> 01:15:38.480 Secretary David M. Gomez: company, which government privatized, and I told asr-001995 01:15:38.480 --> 01:15:40.100 Secretary David M. Gomez: them that we don't need to asr-001996 01:15:40.100 --> 01:15:41.980 Secretary David M. Gomez: start from scratch. Let's use that as asr-001997 01:15:41.980 --> 01:15:44.840 Secretary David M. Gomez: the baseline in preparing our privatization asr-001998 01:15:44.840 --> 01:15:47.320 Secretary David M. Gomez: plan, this time for IBC -13 po. asr-001999 01:15:48.280 --> 01:15:58.200 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: So, Secretary, Madam Chair, Secretary Dave, so hindi pa definite if kung sakali ma -privatize ang IBC -13, asr-002000 01:15:58.200 --> 01:16:04.980 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: hindi pa -definite kung ma -absorb yung mga programs that started by IBC 13 by PTB 4? asr-002001 01:16:06.440 --> 01:16:08.060 Secretary David M. Gomez: Your Honors, if you will... asr-002002 01:16:08.060 --> 01:16:09.080 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: Is that a remote possibility? asr-002003 01:16:09.800 --> 01:16:13.840 Secretary David M. Gomez: Mahirap pong sabihin kasi hindi ko rin po alam yung guidelines na ibababa asr-002004 01:16:13.840 --> 01:16:16.780 Secretary David M. Gomez: ng GCG in terms of the bidding process. Baka po kasi yung asr-002005 01:16:16.780 --> 01:16:22.620 Secretary David M. Gomez: bidding may be lock, stock, and barrel. So from employees' assets to the asr-002006 01:16:22.620 --> 01:16:27.820 Secretary David M. Gomez: programming may be absorbed by the third -party new buyer. So, mahirap asr-002007 01:16:27.820 --> 01:16:31.880 Secretary David M. Gomez: pong sabihin at this point until ma -finalize po namin yung guidelines po. asr-002008 01:16:31.980 --> 01:16:38.220 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: But Secretary Dave, ang gusto ko lang itawid, actually masakit asr-002009 01:16:38.220 --> 01:16:42.460 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: din sa amin dito sa Kongreso, kung mawala man yung IBC asr-002010 01:16:42.460 --> 01:16:48.100 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: 13, lalo yung programa sa Congress TV, gusto lang namin asr-002011 01:16:48.100 --> 01:16:52.040 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: masigurado na hindi mapapabayaan ng mga empleyado at yung mga asr-002012 01:16:52.040 --> 01:16:56.600 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: programang pinagsimula nila na maganda naman at tunay nakakatawid. Kasi importante asr-002013 01:16:56.600 --> 01:17:01.700 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: eh, kahit na may rungkang TV station, kung di mo asr-002014 01:17:01.700 --> 01:17:05.680 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: naman na itatawid yung programa para sa taong bayan, wala asr-002015 01:17:05.680 --> 01:17:12.800 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: rin kwenta. So gusto ko lang, okay naman, mabigat yung trabaho asr-002016 01:17:12.800 --> 01:17:17.740 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: ninyo talaga, pero wala namang pinaka -efektibo na programa o asr-002017 01:17:17.740 --> 01:17:22.640 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: komunikasyon kung di yung nauunawaan at na itatawid mo, Hindi lang asr-002018 01:17:22.640 --> 01:17:28.680 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: sa iilan, kundi sa mas maraming tao na dapat maunawaan asr-002019 01:17:28.680 --> 01:17:33.120 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: at maintindihan ang mga programa at trabaho ng ating pamahalaan asr-002020 01:17:33.120 --> 01:17:38.300 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: para sa taong bayan. So, with that, Madam Chair, I would asr-002021 01:17:38.300 --> 01:17:42.260 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: just like to manifest and strongly urge that I hope asr-002022 01:17:42.260 --> 01:17:45.760 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: that the Committee on Appropriation to at least give a asr-002023 01:17:45.760 --> 01:17:52.520 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: transitory budget for IBC 13 in order for them, before, there asr-002024 01:17:52.520 --> 01:17:58.300 Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar: will be truly a privatization of the said IBC 13. asr-002025 01:17:59.240 --> 01:18:02.080 Secretary David M. Gomez: Thank you very much, Your Honor. Thank you very much. And from asr-002026 01:18:02.080 --> 01:18:06.980 Secretary David M. Gomez: the PCO and from myself personally, I can assure you that the number asr-002027 01:18:06.980 --> 01:18:11.620 Secretary David M. Gomez: one concern to me is the people, our employees of IBC 13 asr-002028 01:18:11.620 --> 01:18:15.980 Secretary David M. Gomez: if they will not be absorbed by whoever management will take over, we asr-002029 01:18:15.980 --> 01:18:19.200 Secretary David M. Gomez: will definitely find ways to take care and look after their welfare. asr-002030 01:18:19.460 --> 01:18:26.740 Secretary David M. Gomez: And secondly my personal assurance, Your Honor my personal assurance that if and asr-002031 01:18:26.740 --> 01:18:30.360 Secretary David M. Gomez: when that happens Congress TV will move to PTV4. asr-002032 01:18:30.360 --> 01:18:39.460 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Thank you, Representative Victoria, Vice Chair. Sorry, Representative Victoria. asr-002033 01:18:39.460 --> 01:18:44.600 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: So next, we now recognize Representative Brian Llamanzariz. asr-002034 01:18:47.490 --> 01:18:49.270 Rep. Brian Poe: Maraming salamat po, Madam Chair. asr-002035 01:18:50.150 --> 01:18:54.930 Rep. Brian Poe: First, I'd like to thank our Secretary and asr-002036 01:18:54.930 --> 01:19:03.690 Rep. Brian Poe: the whole family here because of their work, a lot of the things that we do here in Congress gets noticed by the nation. asr-002037 01:19:04.410 --> 01:19:06.010 Rep. Brian Poe: Kaya nagpapasalamat po ako. asr-002038 01:19:06.010 --> 01:19:11.390 Rep. Brian Poe: And on that note, there are certain things that I want to point out regarding the budget. asr-002039 01:19:11.570 --> 01:19:14.950 Rep. Brian Poe: First is regarding IBC -13's budget. asr-002040 01:19:15.310 --> 01:19:17.450 Rep. Brian Poe: Tama po ba yung binabasa ko dito? asr-002041 01:19:17.610 --> 01:19:27.750 Rep. Brian Poe: From 122 million pesos in the 2026 current program, it's now at zero pesos for 2027, correct po? asr-002043 01:19:27.950 --> 01:19:28.670 Secretary David M. Gomez: That's correct, Your Honor. asr-002042 01:19:28.970 --> 01:19:34.670 Rep. Brian Poe: Okay. So that's a 100% decrease in IBC-13's budget, tama? asr-002044 01:19:34.670 --> 01:19:49.730 Rep. Brian Poe: Which is baffling to me because I feel that IBC 13 has been a critical partner in improving the trust and approval of government, especially of Congress. asr-002045 01:19:50.510 --> 01:19:55.310 Rep. Brian Poe: I believe that recently, the surveys have shown that Congress's numbers asr-002046 01:19:55.310 --> 01:19:57.570 Rep. Brian Poe: have gone up in terms of trust and approval asr-002047 01:19:57.570 --> 01:20:02.790 Rep. Brian Poe: because there are many programs now in government that show the hard work of congressmen. asr-002048 01:20:02.930 --> 01:20:04.010 Rep. Brian Poe: Tama po ba, Secretary? asr-002049 01:20:04.010 --> 01:20:05.390 Rep. Brian Poe: I completely agree, Your Honor. asr-002050 01:20:06.270 --> 01:20:10.290 Rep. Brian Poe: So, if that's the case, then why are we removing budget for a program that's working? asr-002051 01:20:10.890 --> 01:20:13.630 Rep. Brian Poe: If not, we should be increasing the budget. asr-002052 01:20:13.810 --> 01:20:15.970 Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, just to give context to the committee, asr-002053 01:20:16.210 --> 01:20:22.170 Rep. Brian Poe: because we should be benchmarking across ASEAN to see what our neighbors are spending. asr-002054 01:20:22.630 --> 01:20:25.690 Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, do you know how much Indonesia is spending asr-002055 01:20:25.690 --> 01:20:31.530 Rep. Brian Poe: for their state media? For Televisi Republic Indonesia, it's roughly 4 billion pesos. asr-002056 01:20:31.530 --> 01:20:36.310 Rep. Brian Poe: For Radio Republic Indonesia, it's 3 .4 billion pesos. asr-002057 01:20:36.530 --> 01:20:40.770 Rep. Brian Poe: Here, we're only talking about hundreds of millions of pesos for our state media, asr-002058 01:20:40.930 --> 01:20:42.990 Rep. Brian Poe: and we can't even give it to them, Madam Chair. asr-002059 01:20:43.530 --> 01:20:49.710 Rep. Brian Poe: Which is why I wanted to point this glaring decrease in the budget of our communications. asr-002060 01:20:50.610 --> 01:20:54.510 Rep. Brian Poe: The other thing I wanted to point out is that there was a request, asr-002061 01:20:54.510 --> 01:20:56.390 Rep. Brian Poe: Although I don't think it was granted, asr-002062 01:20:56.690 --> 01:21:07.950 Rep. Brian Poe: that the IBC budget be an additional 479 million for personnel, MOE, and even Kong TV programs. asr-002063 01:21:08.170 --> 01:21:09.330 Rep. Brian Poe: Is this correct, Mr. Secretary? asr-002064 01:21:10.110 --> 01:21:11.550 Secretary David M. Gomez: I believe so, Your Honor, yes. asr-002065 01:21:12.410 --> 01:21:16.310 Rep. Brian Poe: Why do we need money for personnel and maintenance and operations? asr-002066 01:21:16.590 --> 01:21:17.890 Rep. Brian Poe: Can you talk about that a little bit? asr-002067 01:21:17.890 --> 01:21:19.870 Secretary David M. Gomez: Thank you very much. asr-002068 01:21:19.910 --> 01:21:22.650 Secretary David M. Gomez: As I was discussing earlier, asr-002069 01:21:23.030 --> 01:21:26.310 Secretary David M. Gomez: we were really the first to be surprised when we saw the NEP asr-002070 01:21:26.310 --> 01:21:31.450 Secretary David M. Gomez: and our proposed budget for IBC 13 reduced to zero. asr-002071 01:21:31.970 --> 01:21:34.970 Secretary David M. Gomez: And if I may just repeat what I said earlier, asr-002072 01:21:35.230 --> 01:21:41.890 Secretary David M. Gomez: when we inquired, the premise was because the station was up for privatization. asr-002073 01:21:41.890 --> 01:21:48.330 Secretary David M. Gomez: And as I was explaining earlier, with the few months remaining for the year, asr-002074 01:21:48.770 --> 01:21:52.710 Secretary David M. Gomez: it may be unlikely that we may be able to conclude asr-002075 01:21:52.710 --> 01:21:55.730 Secretary David M. Gomez: the privatization by December 31st this year. asr-002076 01:21:55.930 --> 01:22:01.490 Secretary David M. Gomez: And with zero budget, what does that leave us in terms of salaries of our people, asr-002077 01:22:01.670 --> 01:22:03.330 Secretary David M. Gomez: the upkeep of the station? asr-002078 01:22:03.330 --> 01:22:11.670 Secretary David M. Gomez: So we're really appealing to the committee if we can restore a certain amount of the budget asr-002079 01:22:11.670 --> 01:22:16.230 Secretary David M. Gomez: originally requested by the station with the Department of Budget and Management. asr-002080 01:22:16.230 --> 01:22:22.510 Secretary David M. Gomez: The figure that you mentioned, 460 plus, I believe is really to cover for that asr-002081 01:22:22.510 --> 01:22:24.310 Secretary David M. Gomez: amount that was cut. asr-002082 01:22:24.530 --> 01:22:27.390 Secretary David M. Gomez: But I'd like to also, with your permission, asr-002083 01:22:27.550 --> 01:22:32.970 Secretary David M. Gomez: recognize the president of IBC 13 who can better explain what that 460 plus, asr-002084 01:22:33.190 --> 01:22:38.970 Secretary David M. Gomez: which I believe he communicated already to the committee in a form of a request. asr-002085 01:22:39.390 --> 01:22:40.330 Secretary David M. Gomez: Thank you, Your Honor. asr-002086 01:22:40.890 --> 01:22:41.630 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Thank you. asr-002087 01:22:45.770 --> 01:22:51.590 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: With your respect, Secretary Dave, Madam Chairperson, honorable members of the committee, asr-002088 01:22:51.930 --> 01:22:55.410 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: we submitted the budget earlier around 660, asr-002089 01:22:55.690 --> 01:23:03.150 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: but based on the representation we made, we had to reduce and set aside our CAPEX. asr-002090 01:23:03.150 --> 01:23:08.950 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: We only, we had to maintain 131 million for personal services, asr-002091 01:23:09.410 --> 01:23:13.370 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: MOE of 223. It's asr-002092 01:23:13.370 --> 01:23:17.730 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: quite big, Your Honor, because we are maintaining 11 stations, asr-002093 01:23:18.290 --> 01:23:20.830 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: we are maintaining 23 programs. asr-002094 01:23:23.030 --> 01:23:25.970 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: 15 and then one radio station, Your Honor. asr-002095 01:23:25.970 --> 01:23:34.070 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: And likewise, we have to answer in court a 50 million arbitration award asr-002096 01:23:34.070 --> 01:23:44.250 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: given to the retired employees that they submitted to arbitration. asr-002097 01:23:44.450 --> 01:23:52.430 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: So instead of paying more than 100 million, they agreed to around 49 million or rounded to 50 million. asr-002098 01:23:52.430 --> 01:23:56.250 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: For Congress TV, we have to allocate it also. asr-002099 01:23:56.610 --> 01:24:02.710 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: Otherwise, we have been doing a lot of service to Congress, likewise to the government, asr-002100 01:24:03.030 --> 01:24:06.210 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: and Congress TV is only one of the programs that we are supporting. asr-002101 01:24:06.210 --> 01:24:13.430 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: Together with the Senate, together with the e -government, e -gov that we maintain, asr-002102 01:24:13.790 --> 01:24:20.350 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: and other government -related programs, around 23 of them, asr-002103 01:24:20.510 --> 01:24:24.130 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: all station -produced programs, Your Honor. asr-002104 01:24:24.830 --> 01:24:25.870 IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.: Thank you. asr-002105 01:24:26.350 --> 01:24:35.490 Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, I want to point out that IBC 13 has managed its fiscal responsibilities well. asr-002106 01:24:36.210 --> 01:24:37.970 Rep. Brian Poe: and has been able to take care of its employees. asr-002107 01:24:38.290 --> 01:24:43.750 Rep. Brian Poe: I don't understand why we're removing budget from one of the working government offices that's asr-002108 01:24:43.750 --> 01:24:47.710 Rep. Brian Poe: able to manage their funds properly and take care of their employees. asr-002109 01:24:47.910 --> 01:24:52.210 Rep. Brian Poe: We should be supporting this and financing it fully, if you ask me. They're asr-002110 01:24:52.210 --> 01:24:53.910 Rep. Brian Poe: handling their budget better than most. asr-002111 01:24:54.570 --> 01:24:56.050 Rep. Brian Poe: But, Madam Chair, there's asr-002112 01:24:56.050 --> 01:24:57.510 Rep. Brian Poe: so many problems here. Let's asr-002113 01:24:57.510 --> 01:24:58.590 Rep. Brian Poe: look at another one. asr-002114 01:24:59.810 --> 01:25:03.530 Rep. Brian Poe: For PIA, or the Philippine Information Agency, I believe, asr-002115 01:25:03.530 --> 01:25:09.690 Rep. Brian Poe: There is a request for an additional 20 million pesos for rent. asr-002116 01:25:10.170 --> 01:25:15.690 Rep. Brian Poe: I believe there was budget given to rehabilitate their old building, asr-002117 01:25:15.890 --> 01:25:20.530 Rep. Brian Poe: but the DBM forgot to give them budget to rent a new office. asr-002118 01:25:20.690 --> 01:25:23.730 Rep. Brian Poe: So where would all of our government employees go asr-002119 01:25:23.730 --> 01:25:25.750 Rep. Brian Poe: if we don't give them this budget? asr-002120 01:25:25.970 --> 01:25:28.890 Rep. Brian Poe: Can someone tell me a bit more about the situation here? asr-002121 01:25:29.750 --> 01:25:30.610 Secretary David M. Gomez: Thank you, Your Honor. asr-002122 01:25:30.670 --> 01:25:31.890 Secretary David M. Gomez: I can confirm that, Your Honor. asr-002123 01:25:31.890 --> 01:25:38.110 Secretary David M. Gomez: The BM approved the request of the PIA for a budget for the retrofitting of their building, asr-002124 01:25:38.250 --> 01:25:42.770 Secretary David M. Gomez: a 44 -year -old building that's really in a very sad state at the moment. asr-002125 01:25:43.490 --> 01:25:47.190 Secretary David M. Gomez: We finally got the budget for retrofitting. asr-002126 01:25:47.730 --> 01:25:54.010 Secretary David M. Gomez: Unfortunately, the 20 million budget that the agency is asking for rent was not included. asr-002127 01:25:54.450 --> 01:25:54.990 Secretary David M. Gomez: So, asr-002128 01:25:55.030 --> 01:25:57.990 Secretary David M. Gomez: of course, when construction starts asr-002129 01:25:57.990 --> 01:26:00.550 Secretary David M. Gomez: and they have no place to go, asr-002130 01:26:00.550 --> 01:26:01.090 Secretary David M. Gomez: I mean, asr-002131 01:26:01.150 --> 01:26:04.710 Secretary David M. Gomez: they cannot stop working or just work from home. asr-002132 01:26:04.810 --> 01:26:08.590 Secretary David M. Gomez: We really need that money to look for office spaces asr-002133 01:26:08.590 --> 01:26:11.570 Secretary David M. Gomez: to accommodate our staff from the PIA asr-002134 01:26:11.570 --> 01:26:14.870 Secretary David M. Gomez: to work in while construction is ongoing asr-002135 01:26:14.870 --> 01:26:17.210 Secretary David M. Gomez: or retrofitting of the new building is ongoing. asr-002136 01:26:18.370 --> 01:26:18.990 Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, asr-002137 01:26:19.190 --> 01:26:24.770 Rep. Brian Poe: I will not allow our PIA staff to go homeless. asr-002138 01:26:25.010 --> 01:26:29.030 Rep. Brian Poe: And I'm sure this was just an oversight on the part of the DBM asr-002139 01:26:29.030 --> 01:26:35.130 Rep. Brian Poe: because the intention to secure better facilities for the PIA is there. It's asr-002140 01:26:35.130 --> 01:26:41.690 Rep. Brian Poe: just that they didn't notice that the MOE budget was lacking 20 million pesos just for rent. asr-002141 01:26:41.810 --> 01:26:45.010 Rep. Brian Poe: And I think this is an easy fix for us this appropriation season. asr-002142 01:26:45.490 --> 01:26:52.890 Rep. Brian Poe: Although I do want to weigh retrofitting versus just having a new building altogether. asr-002143 01:26:53.470 --> 01:26:57.850 Rep. Brian Poe: Retrofitting a 40 plus year old building doesn't asr-002146 01:26:57.850 --> 01:26:58.570 Rep. Brian Poe: sound very sound. asr-002147 01:26:58.570 --> 01:27:00.890 Rep. Brian Poe: And I've seen the pictures and documentation. asr-002148 01:27:01.190 --> 01:27:03.810 Rep. Brian Poe: Tama, this is the building that has bats in it, no? asr-002149 01:27:04.550 --> 01:27:05.990 Rep. Brian Poe: They have a bat cave, Your Honor. asr-002150 01:27:06.530 --> 01:27:08.130 Rep. Brian Poe: An actual bat cave? asr-002151 01:27:08.390 --> 01:27:08.850 Rep. Brian Poe: Bat cave. asr-002152 01:27:09.410 --> 01:27:14.030 Rep. Brian Poe: Do we have any pictures of that, Mr. Secretary? I'm asr-002153 01:27:14.030 --> 01:27:18.230 Rep. Brian Poe: sure members of this committee don't believe how bad the condition is of the PIA. asr-002154 01:27:18.450 --> 01:27:21.750 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: If I may ask representatives of the PIA to be recognized, Your Honor. asr-002155 01:27:23.850 --> 01:27:24.590 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Go ahead. asr-002156 01:27:25.930 --> 01:27:27.730 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: The representative from PIA. asr-002157 01:27:28.030 --> 01:27:30.410 PIA Assistant Director-General for External Affairs Kristine Venet Q. Andal: Hi, good afternoon. Good afternoon, Kong. asr-002158 01:27:30.710 --> 01:27:37.070 PIA Assistant Director-General for External Affairs Kristine Venet Q. Andal: Yes, we have photos po sa presentation as well as videos na meron talaga mga bats po doon sa building. asr-002159 01:27:37.330 --> 01:27:43.310 PIA Assistant Director-General for External Affairs Kristine Venet Q. Andal: And first thing po na ginawa ko nung umupo ko sa PIA, nag -letter kami with DENR. asr-002160 01:27:43.830 --> 01:27:46.990 PIA Assistant Director-General for External Affairs Kristine Venet Q. Andal: Tinutulungan kami ng DENR ngayon na mapaalis yung mga bats. asr-002161 01:27:47.290 --> 01:27:52.390 PIA Assistant Director-General for External Affairs Kristine Venet Q. Andal: And kung hindi pa rin mapaalis, manual na po talaga nilang kukunin yung bats asr-002162 01:27:52.390 --> 01:27:54.830 PIA Assistant Director-General for External Affairs Kristine Venet Q. Andal: pag nag -start na po yung rehab ng building, asr-002163 01:27:54.950 --> 01:27:55.970 PIA Assistant Director-General for External Affairs Kristine Venet Q. Andal: Kong. Madam Chair. asr-002164 01:27:56.710 --> 01:28:00.250 Rep. Brian Poe: to see this is exactly why we need to fix this, asr-002165 01:28:00.370 --> 01:28:02.050 Rep. Brian Poe: either one of two things are gonna happen here, asr-002166 01:28:02.150 --> 01:28:04.770 Rep. Brian Poe: either magkaroon tayo ng Batman or ng COVID ulit asr-002167 01:28:04.770 --> 01:28:06.810 Rep. Brian Poe: kaya ayusin natin yan asr-002168 01:28:07.610 --> 01:28:13.990 Rep. Brian Poe: so the other thing that I wanted to point out is that we have a new GM for PTV4 asr-002169 01:28:13.990 --> 01:28:17.470 Rep. Brian Poe: and a visionary at that who comes from the industry asr-002170 01:28:18.210 --> 01:28:24.170 Rep. Brian Poe: and the problem is, we bring in a new GM with a new task of revolutionizing PTV4 asr-002171 01:28:24.170 --> 01:28:26.350 Rep. Brian Poe: and then we tell Tell him, by the way, there's no budget. asr-002172 01:28:26.850 --> 01:28:28.250 Rep. Brian Poe: How does that work? asr-002173 01:28:28.870 --> 01:28:36.130 Rep. Brian Poe: If I may ask, GM, you've, in your own private capacity, you've been meeting with industry leaders, asr-002174 01:28:36.310 --> 01:28:38.270 Rep. Brian Poe: not just in the Philippines, but around the world. asr-002175 01:28:38.390 --> 01:28:41.310 Rep. Brian Poe: What do they think about the current condition of PTV4? asr-002176 01:28:42.990 --> 01:28:44.730 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: Thank you, Madam Chair. asr-002177 01:28:46.210 --> 01:28:47.790 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: Una -una, thank you. I'm asr-002178 01:28:47.790 --> 01:28:52.370 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: among some of the best communicators in Congress. Congress. I've asr-002179 01:28:52.370 --> 01:28:52.970 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: worked with asr-002180 01:28:52.970 --> 01:28:55.830 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: Kong Brian in the private sector asr-002181 01:28:55.830 --> 01:28:58.970 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: and he's known around the communication circles as well. asr-002182 01:28:59.110 --> 01:29:03.090 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: So this is exactly the space where I think he's been thriving asr-002183 01:29:03.090 --> 01:29:03.810 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: so he understands. asr-002184 01:29:04.550 --> 01:29:09.070 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: Just a week ago, I met with the Asia -Pacific head of BBC Studios asr-002185 01:29:09.070 --> 01:29:17.310 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: and basically with all our budget, we can probably buy one show or collaborate with one show. asr-002186 01:29:17.810 --> 01:29:22.150 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: So we cannot build the network with a 138 million budget. asr-002187 01:29:22.330 --> 01:29:23.610 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: But for perspective also, asr-002188 01:29:23.890 --> 01:29:29.450 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: you were correct to compare us to our ASEAN neighbors. Di bali na yung asr-002189 01:29:29.450 --> 01:29:39.210 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: BBC, di bali na yung NHK, but even Cambodia, even our neighbors spend billions in pesos asr-002190 01:29:39.210 --> 01:29:44.170 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: for their state broadcasting system, their communication portals. asr-002191 01:29:44.710 --> 01:29:47.290 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: For perspective also po, ang asr-002192 01:29:47.290 --> 01:29:51.730 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: private sector po, gagastos yan anywhere from 6 to 10 % of our budget. asr-002193 01:29:52.090 --> 01:29:53.570 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: And my heart aches asr-002194 01:29:53.570 --> 01:29:56.430 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: when I hear my secretary say that the PCO budget is asr-002195 01:29:56.430 --> 01:29:57.130 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: 0 .06. asr-002196 01:29:57.790 --> 01:29:59.890 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: So ito ho yung nabanggit kanina. asr-002197 01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:01.220 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: ng mga kasamaan natin asr-002198 01:30:01.220 --> 01:30:03.040 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: na nagpasa ang kongreso asr-002199 01:30:03.040 --> 01:30:04.400 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: ng magagandang batas. asr-002200 01:30:04.820 --> 01:30:06.760 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: Tapos nun hindi natin mapaliwanag. asr-002201 01:30:06.800 --> 01:30:08.340 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: So ito yung developmental communication. asr-002202 01:30:08.840 --> 01:30:10.200 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: Developmental communication po asr-002203 01:30:10.200 --> 01:30:11.720 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: is applied all over the world. asr-002204 01:30:11.860 --> 01:30:12.860 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: It was actually invented asr-002205 01:30:12.860 --> 01:30:15.460 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: by a professor in UP Los Baños asr-002206 01:30:15.460 --> 01:30:16.160 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: in 1971. asr-002207 01:30:16.980 --> 01:30:18.800 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: Ang developmental communication po, asr-002208 01:30:18.860 --> 01:30:19.760 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: hindi po to PR, asr-002209 01:30:20.020 --> 01:30:21.820 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: hindi po to propaganda. asr-002210 01:30:22.240 --> 01:30:24.300 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: It is communicating with the public asr-002211 01:30:24.300 --> 01:30:25.960 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: so it can help transform their lives. asr-002212 01:30:26.360 --> 01:30:27.540 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: Dahil naiintindihan nila asr-002213 01:30:27.540 --> 01:30:28.640 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: yung zero balance billing, asr-002214 01:30:29.360 --> 01:30:31.040 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: alam nila na pwede silang asr-002215 01:30:31.040 --> 01:30:32.240 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: pumuntang ospital, asr-002216 01:30:32.260 --> 01:30:34.040 PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano: hindi sila mamamatay sa mga bahay nila asr-002217 01:30:34.040 --> 01:30:35.780 PTV General Manager Lino S.

Ilagan: Pero production is more expensive across the board. asr-002923 01:57:06.220 --> 01:57:08.200 PCO Undersecretary Ramon A.

Roman III: na sa mahabang panahon, ilang dekada, hindi na-renovate. asr-003545 02:21:31.730 --> 02:21:37.990 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Kasi kailangan ko ng magandang environment para makapagtrabaho ng mabuti at paglingkuran ang mamamayan. asr-003546 02:21:38.110 --> 02:21:40.450 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: At sana ganun po gawin natin sa PIA. asr-003547 02:21:40.590 --> 02:21:41.350 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Maraming salamat po. asr-003548 02:21:41.530 --> 02:21:44.550 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Thank you very much, Representative Antonino Roman. asr-003549 02:21:45.230 --> 02:21:47.410 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Our chair calls for a momentary suspension. asr-003550 02:35:14.030 --> 02:35:19.710 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: The committee resumes the hearing for House Bill No. 10858. asr-003551 02:35:21.130 --> 02:35:21.970 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Madam Chair. asr-003551-split-1 02:35:23.610 --> 02:35:29.350 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: The committee now recognizes Representative Antonino Roman for additional interpellation. asr-003552 02:35:29.590 --> 02:35:35.430 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: For additional interpellation, I’m just curious on, would like to know the reason for defunding IBC 13. asr-003553 02:35:35.670 --> 02:35:36.690 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Bakit ito nawala ng pondo? asr-003554 02:35:39.680 --> 02:35:40.880 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Secretary Dave. asr-003554-split-1 02:35:41.180 --> 02:35:43.120 Secretary David M. Gomez: Yes, thank you, Your Honor. asr-003555 02:35:43.120 --> 02:35:55.840 Secretary David M. Gomez: And if again, I may reiterate what I mentioned earlier, we were really very surprised and very saddened when we saw the NEP that was asr-003556 02:35:55.840 --> 02:36:03.240 Secretary David M. Gomez: submitted to Congress that allocated zero budget for IBC, only to find out that the asr-003557 02:36:03.240 --> 02:36:07.680 Secretary David M. Gomez: rationale, the reason behind it was the supposed planned privatization of the station. asr-003558 02:36:08.540 --> 02:36:16.300 Secretary David M. Gomez: We are working, as I mentioned earlier as well, we are working for the privatization of the station. asr-003559 02:36:16.300 --> 02:36:20.660 Secretary David M. Gomez: And in fact, we're meeting with the GCG next week to finalize the plans. asr-003560 02:36:20.660 --> 02:36:27.960 Secretary David M. Gomez: But there are several working pieces that we need to put in place first. asr-003561 02:36:28.680 --> 02:36:35.500 Secretary David M. Gomez: But we're really looking to complete the process by end of the year, but... asr-003562 02:36:35.500 --> 02:36:37.160 Secretary David M. Gomez: But if asr-003563 02:36:37.160 --> 02:36:42.340 Secretary David M. Gomez: there are some headwinds that we may encounter, obstacles thrown our way, asr-003564 02:36:42.620 --> 02:36:50.740 Secretary David M. Gomez: what happens to the station if they don't have any budget by first of January next year? What happens to our employees? asr-003565 02:36:51.020 --> 02:37:00.400 Secretary David M. Gomez: What happens to our programs? That's why we're really appealing to this honorable committee asr-003566 02:37:00.400 --> 02:37:06.640 Secretary David M. Gomez: to restore what IBC 13 proposed in their National Expenditure Program. asr-003567 02:37:06.960 --> 02:37:10.760 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: So, sa madaling salita po, nasa initial stages pa lang ng planning, asr-003568 02:37:10.940 --> 02:37:17.500 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: na malayo pa ho ang mahabang panahon pa ang lilipas bago ma-finalize? asr-003569 02:37:17.860 --> 02:37:19.720 Secretary David M. Gomez: Hindi naman po, Your Honor, hindi naman po. asr-003570 02:37:19.780 --> 02:37:38.420 Secretary David M. Gomez: Medyo, simula nung dumating ako dito sa role na ito, nung tinignan namin, medyo matagal na stall, matagal na stall yung privatization initiative. Only now that we are pushing with guidance from the top that we really should prioritize this. asr-003571 02:37:39.180 --> 02:37:48.580 Secretary David M. Gomez: That we are working now with the station, DBP, and GCG so that finally before the end of the year, asr-003572 02:37:48.680 --> 02:37:53.700 Secretary David M. Gomez: we can call for an open public bidding for interested parties. asr-003573 02:37:53.700 --> 02:37:59.040 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: So malayo po tayo sa bidding, maaaring mag-fail pa yung bidding, marami pang puwedeng mangyari. asr-003574 02:38:00.300 --> 02:38:04.820 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Maaaring mawalan ng interes sa mga kinakausap ninyo. Marami pa kayong kakausapin. asr-003575 02:38:05.340 --> 02:38:11.880 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: So mukhang mahabang panahon po, ang maraming... ilang buwan pang lilipas bago ma-finalize ito. asr-003576 02:38:12.300 --> 02:38:18.240 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: So masasabi n’yo po na parang premature at napaaga masyado yung pagtanggal ng pondo sa inyo. asr-003577 02:38:18.540 --> 02:38:20.170 Secretary David M. Gomez: Opo your honor totoo po. asr-003577-split-1 02:38:21.620 --> 02:38:24.660 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Maraming salamat, Congressman Roman. Um, asr-003578 02:38:25.640 --> 02:38:32.280 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: habang tayo po ay nagsasabi na lahat po tayo ay talagang nadurog ang puso asr-003579 02:38:32.280 --> 02:38:35.460 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: nang nakita natin ang IBC 13 na nag-zero budget, asr-003580 02:38:35.740 --> 02:38:43.120 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: nandito lang po pala sa in our midst si DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo. asr-003581 02:38:43.740 --> 02:38:53.060 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Siya po ay puwede natin tanungin as to the wisdom of the DBM, why it came to be that IBC had zero budget for 2027. asr-003582 02:38:53.200 --> 02:38:55.600 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Ma’am, we recognize Assistant Director Lulu. asr-003583 02:38:56.820 --> 02:39:00.740 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: Good morning, Madam Chair and Your Honor. asr-003584 02:39:01.280 --> 02:39:10.680 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: Actually, IBC 13 is really currently under the GOCC, which is listed as under privatization. asr-003585 02:39:10.960 --> 02:39:18.880 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: This is pursuant to the memo of the Executive Secretary, dated December 21, 2015. asr-003586 02:39:20.360 --> 02:39:27.060 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: So, up to now, yun ang tingin ng DBM because it is an ongoing privatization. asr-003587 02:39:27.200 --> 02:39:28.200 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: But for 2026... asr-003588 02:39:28.200 --> 02:39:39.800 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: We have released 424 million for the compensation benefits of the IBC 13 employees. asr-003589 02:39:40.820 --> 02:39:48.360 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: So, kung baga, sinusuportahan din naman ng DBM if ever na need talaga na like that. asr-003590 02:39:48.360 --> 02:39:53.220 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: And ang assumption namin is, last na na po yun, nababayaran namin. asr-003591 02:39:53.460 --> 02:39:56.720 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: considering na yung mga retirement benefits na nabayaran na rin namin. asr-003592 02:39:56.920 --> 02:39:59.700 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: And then, when you speak of yung... asr-003593 02:39:59.700 --> 02:40:07.340 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: arbitration award, which is in the amount of 50 million, I think that was awarded only in June this year. asr-003594 02:40:07.580 --> 02:40:10.020 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: E tapos na po ang budget preparation that time. asr-003595 02:40:10.380 --> 02:40:14.000 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: And nag-re-issue na po kami noon ng confirmation letter. asr-003596 02:40:14.000 --> 02:40:20.000 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: So, possible po talagang hindi siya maisasama sa 2027. asr-003597 02:40:20.000 --> 02:40:23.200 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: That's our position po. asr-003598 02:40:23.200 --> 02:40:24.120 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: Madam Chair. asr-003599 02:40:25.560 --> 02:40:26.900 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Thank you, Assistant Director. asr-003600 02:40:27.460 --> 02:40:30.500 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Madam Chair, is she a resource person also from DBM? asr-003601 02:40:31.040 --> 02:40:33.360 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Yes, she is assistant, yes. asr-003602 02:40:33.580 --> 02:40:36.560 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: She's a resource person, therefore I can propound questions to her. asr-003603 02:40:36.980 --> 02:40:40.100 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Yes, yes, go ahead, Representative Antonino. asr-003604 02:40:40.260 --> 02:40:43.580 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: So, alam niyo yung arbitration award na kailangan mo yan ng 50 million. asr-003605 02:40:44.520 --> 02:40:46.500 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Tapos, sa kabila nun, dinefund niyo asr-003606 02:40:46.780 --> 02:40:48.180 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: So, sino magbabayad noon? asr-003607 02:40:50.620 --> 02:40:52.900 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: Actually, sir, we don't receive any... asr-003608 02:40:57.740 --> 02:41:00.560 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: I mean, we don't need any record. asr-003609 02:41:01.240 --> 02:41:03.120 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: Yeah, we did not receive any record asr-003610 02:41:03.120 --> 02:41:04.800 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: or any request on that. asr-003611 02:41:04.940 --> 02:41:08.620 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: And we don't have any copy of that arbitration award. asr-003612 02:41:08.800 --> 02:41:12.740 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: But the DBM was present in the last year's budget deliberations. asr-003613 02:41:13.020 --> 02:41:19.160 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: And that was one of the issues lengthily discussed during the budget deliberations of PCO. asr-003614 02:41:21.840 --> 02:41:29.120 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: That's why, sir, in 2026, the IBC 13 requested for the compensation benefits. asr-003615 02:41:30.020 --> 02:41:33.400 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: And we granted it out of the Pension Gratuity Fund. asr-003616 02:41:33.400 --> 02:41:36.140 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: In the amount of 428 million. asr-003617 02:41:36.440 --> 02:41:43.560 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: But you just said that you found out about the arbitration award came down in June of this year. asr-003618 02:41:44.100 --> 02:41:45.000 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: This year. asr-003619 02:41:45.180 --> 02:41:45.480 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: Yes. asr-003620 02:41:45.580 --> 02:41:46.820 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: And you said it's too late. asr-003621 02:41:49.520 --> 02:41:54.200 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: And the budget prep season is from April up to May. asr-003622 02:41:54.200 --> 02:41:58.060 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: And June is already a final deliberation. asr-003623 02:41:58.060 --> 02:42:02.440 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: And we have to issue our confirmation letter to the agencies. asr-003624 02:42:02.690 --> 02:42:03.390 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: Tapos na po. asr-003625 02:42:03.530 --> 02:42:05.570 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: But given that this supervening event... asr-003626 02:42:05.910 --> 02:42:07.840 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Don't you think that requires an amendment? asr-003627 02:42:09.460 --> 02:42:11.660 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: To satisfy legal obligations? asr-003628 02:42:12.920 --> 02:42:16.120 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: Sir, it's up to the Congress, po. asr-003629 02:42:16.360 --> 02:42:19.760 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Pero don't you think it's wrong for government not to pay legal obligations? asr-003630 02:42:19.980 --> 02:42:21.480 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: That government should set an example? asr-003631 02:42:22.120 --> 02:42:29.940 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: Sir, like what we did in 2026 when they requested for the compensation benefits of those IBC employees, asr-003632 02:42:30.440 --> 02:42:33.020 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: we granted them 428 million. asr-003633 02:42:33.020 --> 02:42:35.880 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: And that is charged against the Pension and Gratuity Fund, po. asr-003634 02:42:36.120 --> 02:42:37.220 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Were you present earlier? asr-003635 02:42:37.220 --> 02:42:38.340 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: During the discussions here? asr-003636 02:42:40.940 --> 02:42:41.540 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: Yes. asr-003637 02:42:41.620 --> 02:42:42.280 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Yes, you were. asr-003638 02:42:42.400 --> 02:42:45.160 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: You heard the sentiments and the views of the congressmen here? asr-003639 02:42:45.180 --> 02:42:45.500 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: Yes, Your Honor. asr-003640 02:42:46.280 --> 02:42:48.180 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: And you appreciate where we're coming from? asr-003641 02:42:49.320 --> 02:42:49.780 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Okay. asr-003642 02:42:50.280 --> 02:42:51.260 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Maraming salamat po. asr-003643 02:42:53.640 --> 02:43:00.840 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: So, that Assistant Director, should we, should the IBC or Secretary Dave, like, write another asr-003644 02:43:00.840 --> 02:43:01.440 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: remedy? asr-003645 02:43:01.960 --> 02:43:05.580 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Because you said, na-receive niyo po June 2026. asr-003646 02:43:06.100 --> 02:43:06.721 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: So, just... asr-003647 02:43:06.721 --> 02:43:11.040 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: We did not receive any letter or any approval of that, Your Honor. asr-003648 02:43:11.520 --> 02:43:17.960 DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo: Wala ho kaming copy. Kaya we did not, we didn't know na meron palang gano'n na. Yes, yes po. asr-003649 02:43:18.400 --> 02:43:25.960 Secretary David M. Gomez: Madam Chairman, if I may add, no, I will concur with the report of the Director. asr-003650 02:43:26.720 --> 02:43:33.880 Secretary David M. Gomez: By June 30 this year, tapos na po yung preparation ng NEP, no, na-discuss na po sa cabinet, na-present na po sa Pangulo yun. asr-003651 02:43:34.000 --> 02:43:36.960 Secretary David M. Gomez: So, medyo, hindi nga siguro umabot, no. asr-003652 02:43:37.580 --> 02:43:40.180 Secretary David M. Gomez: But tama din po si Congressman na asr-003653 02:43:40.180 --> 02:43:43.900 Secretary David M. Gomez: This is a legal obligation that IBC 13 needs to settle. asr-003654 02:43:43.900 --> 02:43:49.280 Secretary David M. Gomez: So, isasama na lang po namin doon sa summary namin of the budget asr-003655 02:43:49.280 --> 02:43:55.200 Secretary David M. Gomez: proposed by the attached agencies that were cut or were not included, but we respectfully asr-003656 02:43:55.200 --> 02:43:57.620 Secretary David M. Gomez: ask the committee to restore or to fund. asr-003657 02:43:58.160 --> 02:43:58.860 Secretary David M. Gomez: Salamat, po. asr-003658 02:43:59.280 --> 02:44:01.300 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Thank you very much, Secretary Dave. asr-003659 02:44:01.360 --> 02:44:06.620 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: So, it will all be included in the new quotation. Isasubmit niyo po sa asr-003660 02:44:06.620 --> 02:44:07.380 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: committee. asr-003661 02:44:08.540 --> 02:44:08.880 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Okay. asr-003662 02:44:09.200 --> 02:44:11.020 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: So, um... asr-003663 02:44:11.020 --> 02:44:13.020 Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: So, Chair, calls for another suspension. asr-003664 03:07:06.790 --> 03:07:19.500 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Madam Chair, since I guess wala namang ibang magtatanong, with that I move to terminate the budget briefing of Presidential Communications Office. asr-003665 03:07:20.620 --> 03:07:21.780 Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Second the motion. asr-003666 03:07:21.920 --> 03:07:34.820 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Budget hearing of Presidential, the fiscal year budget 2027 of Presidential Commission's Office, including its attached agencies and corporation, Madam Chair. asr-003667 03:07:35.060 --> 03:07:36.000 Rep.
