00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,920
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So, Mr. Chair, I think the commitment is by June next year, dapat tapos siya.

131
00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:24,980
PhilMech Director IV Dionisio G. Alvindia, Ph.D.: Yes, sir.

132
00:26:25,660 --> 00:26:29,440
PhilMech Director IV Dionisio G. Alvindia, Ph.D.: Pati po yung rice processing system, nandun na rin po, Mr. Com.

133
00:26:30,860 --> 00:26:34,660
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary, I would like to be clarified lang, ano.

134
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:41,660
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Itong mga equipment that goes with the rice processing system,

135
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:48,640
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: kapasity of 3 tons per day, is that correct, Mr. Secretary?

Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Mr. Chair, 3 tons per hour po.

137
00:26:51,220 --> 00:26:53,020
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Sorry, 3 tons per hour, yes, I'm corrected.

138
00:26:53,840 --> 00:27:02,920
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: So, tama ba, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair, that the equipment that are included in the facility

139
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:11,120
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: would be the following, 4-wheel drive tractor, 4 units, laser leveler, 1 unit,

PhilMech Director IV Dionisio G. Alvindia, Ph.D.: Tama po, yun po ang request niyo, Mr. Chair.

145
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:38,220
PhilMech Director IV Dionisio G. Alvindia, Ph.D.: Pero yun pong, yung hauling trucks po ay nakikipag-negotiate pa rin po kami sa DBM

146
00:27:38,220 --> 00:27:42,480
PhilMech Director IV Dionisio G. Alvindia, Ph.D.: kasi until now, hindi pa po kami binibigyan ng go-signal to purchase

147
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:43,220
PhilMech Director IV Dionisio G. Alvindia, Ph.D.: sa DBM.

148
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:51,340
PhilMech Director IV Dionisio G. Alvindia, Ph.D.: So, yung 4-wheel drive tractors, yung combined harvesters, saka po yung mga whaling scale

149
00:27:51,340 --> 00:27:57,360
PhilMech Director IV Dionisio G. Alvindia, Ph.D.: nung lahat ng kasama doon sa warehouses at saka doon sa rice processing system, kasama

00:27:57,360 --> 00:27:57,700
PhilMech Director IV Dionisio G. Alvindia, Ph.D.: po yun.

151
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,980
PhilMech Director IV Dionisio G. Alvindia, Ph.D.: Maliba lang po doon sa hauling trucks.

152
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:07,680
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Okay, because according to the regional director, Mr. Secretary, these equipment have yet to

153
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:08,260
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: be bid out.

154
00:28:09,020 --> 00:28:09,760
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Wala pa daw pera.

155
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:19,620
PhilMech Director IV Dionisio G. Alvindia, Ph.D.: Mr. Chair, tapos na po yung bidding namin sa tractors, saka 4-wheel drive, at saka yung rice combined harvesters,

156
00:28:19,740 --> 00:28:28,760
PhilMech Director IV Dionisio G. Alvindia, Ph.D.: at iro-roll out na po namin yan ang aming timetable para doon sa distribution niya na ay October, November, December this year.

157
00:28:29,220 --> 00:28:29,500
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Okay.

158
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:36,120
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: So, the commitment of the Secretary is the entire facility, including the aforesaid equipment,

00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:39,120
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: will all be delivered by June of next year.

160
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,300
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Is that correct, Mr. Secretary?

161
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:52,760
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Mr. Chair, the RPS will be committed on June 2027, pero uunahin na natin yung tractors and combined

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: At nilista ko na sa aking notebook, Mr. Chair.

166
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,600
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

167
00:29:12,180 --> 00:29:16,060
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Naniniwala naman tayo sa commitment ng ating butihing Secretary.

168
00:29:16,340 --> 00:29:24,180
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Thank you, SEC, for that assurance, and we look forward to receiving the entire facility in the municipality of Dumangas.

169
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,560
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: I will move to my next question to Usec Palabrica, may kababayan.

170
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:39,100
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Usec, if you recall last year, I raised the issue on the safety and efficacy of your vaccine that you're using for,

171
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:53,380
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: may I know if you have already completed the entire clinical trial, a conclusive study that would attest to the efficacy and safety of your ASF vaccine?

172
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,280
DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica: Mr. Chair, yes.

173
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,000
DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica: We were able to

174
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:10,080
DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica: distribute half a million of ASF vaccine, and the efficacy is 85 to

175
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:21,530
DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica: 90 percent, and all those pigs that were vaccinated showed good response.

176
00:30:21,530 --> 00:30:29,330
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: it's nice to hear that the success rate is is 80 percent but though that

177
00:30:29,330 --> 00:30:35,550
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: particular clinical trial mr. secretary you said well Africa has to be

178
00:30:35,550 --> 00:30:42,850
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: documented if you recall I raised this question because no less than the FDA

179
00:30:42,850 --> 00:30:50,850
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: the two veterinary experts of FDA have rejected this product and did not

180
00:30:50,850 --> 00:30:55,410
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: recommend the approval of this particular vaccine and yet the

181
00:30:55,410 --> 00:30:59,330
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Department of Agriculture insisted in using this

182
00:30:59,330 --> 00:31:07,090
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: ASF vaccine despite the evaluation of the two vet experts of the FDA not to

183
00:31:07,090 --> 00:31:11,610
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: recommend the approval but as I said I gave you the benefit of the doubt that

184
00:31:11,610 --> 00:31:18,230
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: it will go through a regular clinical trial but the clinical trial has to be

185
00:31:18,230 --> 00:31:23,630
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: conclusive so I'm asking mr. secretary mr. chair where is the document that

186
00:31:23,630 --> 00:31:28,610
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: shows to attest that the vaccine is

187
00:31:29,330 --> 00:31:35,090
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: and efficacious considering that the US Department of Agriculture has even

188
00:31:35,090 --> 00:31:43,250
DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica: Mr. Chair, with due respect to the FDA,

189
00:31:43,250 --> 00:31:47,530
DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica: to veterinarians, we have better veterinarians in the Bureau of Animal

190
00:31:47,530 --> 00:31:53,310
DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica: Industry. And we will send you the result. At ito po ang aking

191
00:31:53,310 --> 00:31:59,150
DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica: lisensya sa pagiging beterinaryo at ako po ay nagsasabing maayos po ang

192
00:31:59,150 --> 00:32:07,490
DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica: bakunang ito. Well, we all believe in science, no?

193
00:32:07,490 --> 00:32:14,430
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Hindi tayo, hindi tayo dito nag-a-accuse anybody, or, you know, the vaccine itself—that is not.

194
00:32:14,430 --> 00:32:18,930
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: We are, we are all science-based, and when you talk of biological products,

195
00:32:18,930 --> 00:32:24,450
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: especially vaccine, we’re talking of safety and efficacy. And what is at stake

196
00:32:24,910 --> 00:32:31,630
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: is a multi-billion industry no pork industry so we just want to secure if

197
00:32:31,630 --> 00:32:38,110
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: you have a conclusive data we would be very happy in Congress to receive it to

198
00:32:38,110 --> 00:32:40,510
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: have it

199
00:32:42,670 --> 00:32:50,150
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: is a concern of the whole pork industry mr. secretary you say palabra so it

200
00:32:50,150 --> 00:32:54,870
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: would be very happy if you'll be able to provide us with a conclusive data on

201
00:32:54,870 --> 00:32:58,450
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: this specific clinical trial of your ASF vaccine

202
00:32:58,450 --> 00:33:02,930
DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica: I agree with mr. chair and we

203
00:33:02,930 --> 00:33:08,790
DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica: will send to your office all the documents that will attest that the

204
00:33:08,790 --> 00:33:17,850
DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica: vaccine is effective and if we if we can see and effectiveness of the vaccine

205
00:33:17,850 --> 00:33:21,700
DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica: we'll send it to your office mr. chair thank you mr. chairman

206
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:24,030
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: thank you mr.

207
00:33:24,030 --> 00:33:24,430
Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: secretary

208
00:33:24,870 --> 00:33:34,210
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Thank you. Deputy Speaker Biron. The next interpellator from the

209
00:33:34,210 --> 00:33:57,850
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: minority, Representative James Tan.

210
00:33:57,850 --> 00:34:05,870
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Representative Carl Nicolas Cari. Thank you, Mr. Chair, to our Secretary and

211
00:34:05,870 --> 00:34:10,470
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: the Department. Magandang gabi po sa ating lahat. Ito pong mga katanungan po ng aming

212
00:34:10,470 --> 00:34:12,970
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: representasyon

213
00:34:12,970 --> 00:34:20,170
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: ay naka-focus po sa mga nangyayari ngayon dulot ng climate change, global warming,

214
00:34:20,170 --> 00:34:25,110
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: at gusto lang po namin malaman kung gaano po kahanda ang Departamento ukol po sa mga pagbabago

215
00:34:25,110 --> 00:34:31,210
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: ng klima na nagdudulot po ng mas malalang epekto sa atin pong mga

216
00:34:31,210 --> 00:34:37,610
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: magsasaka. At una pong tanong: base sa datos ng DA, gaano na kalaki ang epekto ng pagbabago ng panahon sa ating

217
00:34:37,610 --> 00:34:41,450
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: mga magsasaka kumpara noong 20 years ago?

218
00:34:41,450 --> 00:34:42,090
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Nakakasabay ba ang programs at resources ng DA sa pagbabago ng risks na hinaharap ng ating farmers?

219
00:34:42,090 --> 00:34:51,950
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: kubara nung 20 years ago nakakasabay ba ang programs at resources ng D.A. sa pagbabago ng risks na hinaharap ng ating farmers?

220
00:34:52,490 --> 00:34:55,850
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: The question is directed to the Secretary. Anyone who can answer po?

221
00:34:57,690 --> 00:35:04,510
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Well, Mr. Chair, climate change is very real and nararamdaman po natin ngayon ang mga nangyayari.

222
00:35:04,510 --> 00:35:16,990
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Unfortunately, I cannot say na nakakasabay tayo sa pagbabago ng klima dahil nga I have to admit na hindi ganun kabilis ang reaction ng gobyerno

223
00:35:16,990 --> 00:35:27,270
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: dahil whatever we experience now or what we learn from now, ngayon lang natin, hihingin lang natin yung budget ngayon para for implementation next year.

224
00:35:27,270 --> 00:35:34,390
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Para nga ma-address yun. But of course, meron na tayong naging El Nino, three years ago ba?

225
00:35:34,510 --> 00:35:40,350
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Two years ago, no? So yung mga natutunan natin during that time ay ina-apply na natin ngayon, no?

226
00:35:40,850 --> 00:35:46,610
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So things should get better but to catch up is really hard.

227
00:35:47,330 --> 00:35:52,830
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Some of the interventions na ginagawa nga natin is yung cold storages na tinatayo natin.

228
00:35:52,830 --> 00:35:59,430
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: May mga mega cold storage, mga modular cold storage na tayong nakabit.

229
00:36:00,110 --> 00:36:03,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: May mga solar irrigation ng NIA na ginawa.

230
00:36:03,890 --> 00:36:07,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: At meron din ng DA ngayon na ini-implement na solar irrigation.

231
00:36:07,890 --> 00:36:13,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: We are implementing solar pumps also instead of engine-driven pumps sa ating mga farms.

232
00:36:13,890 --> 00:36:21,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: At for next year naman, para sa mga aquaculture at fisheries, mga solar-powered aerators naman

233
00:36:21,890 --> 00:36:28,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: para ma-address natin yung fish kill due to low water or stagnant water among others.

234
00:36:28,890 --> 00:36:32,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Marami pa po tayong ginagawa, no? Like a small water impounding.

235
00:36:33,890 --> 00:36:43,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: At of course, technology ng seeds na mas malakas sa dry conditions.

236
00:36:43,890 --> 00:36:48,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: At of course, meron din tayong mga tinatawag na protective cultivation systems,

237
00:36:49,590 --> 00:36:56,270
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: basically mga greenhouses para ngayon magkaroon tayo ng shield sa mga heavy rains and floods

238
00:36:56,270 --> 00:36:58,210
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: para tuloy-tuloy ang produksyon.

239
00:36:58,890 --> 00:37:03,730
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So tuloy-tuloy naman ang implementation natin ng mga ito to try to cope up with the,

240
00:37:03,890 --> 00:37:06,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: you know, changes sa ating klima, Mr. Chair.

241
00:37:06,890 --> 00:37:08,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

242
00:37:08,890 --> 00:37:16,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Pangalawang tanong po, kapag napinsala ang mga sakahan dahil sa pagbaha, pag-uho ng lupa o iba pang epekto ng masamang panahon,

243
00:37:16,890 --> 00:37:22,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: ano pong financial assistance ang agad pong available na may bibigay po natin sa mga magsasaka

244
00:37:22,890 --> 00:37:26,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: para makapagsimula ulit po sila sa susunod na planting season?

245
00:37:26,890 --> 00:37:31,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: And gano'n po kaya kabilis ang narating na tulong ito sa mga affected na family farmers natin?

246
00:37:31,890 --> 00:37:34,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Mr. Chair, meron tayong Philippine Crop Insurance, no?

247
00:37:34,890 --> 00:37:40,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But of course, kailangan mag-apply ang farmer every cropping season para makover sila nito.

248
00:37:40,890 --> 00:37:44,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Normally, within 21 days after tamaan ng farm,

249
00:37:44,890 --> 00:37:50,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: nakakapag-issue na tayo ng indemnity check sa ating mga farmers that are affected, no?

250
00:37:50,890 --> 00:37:56,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But of course, not all. Meron talagang mga ilan na nade-delay kasi nga verification and all of that.

251
00:37:56,890 --> 00:38:00,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Meron din tayong mga support system.

252
00:38:00,890 --> 00:38:03,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Support ng seeds and fertilizers to replant.

253
00:38:03,890 --> 00:38:11,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Normally, nasa regional centers na yan, para for deployment, katulad ngayon sa mga baha na inabot natin dito sa Region 3,

254
00:38:11,890 --> 00:38:20,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: meron na tayong nakaprepare na seeds and fertilizers para makareplant ka agad, among others.

255
00:38:20,890 --> 00:38:29,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Meron din tayong loan program sa SURE na up to, I think, 35,000 pwedeng low-interest loan na makakuha ang farmer

256
00:38:29,890 --> 00:38:31,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: para makarecover.

257
00:38:31,890 --> 00:38:35,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Meron din tayong programa ng loan restructuring sa kanila.

258
00:38:35,890 --> 00:38:43,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: At worst case scenario, nagbibigay din tayo ng presidential assistance to farmers and fisher folks,

259
00:38:43,890 --> 00:38:46,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: but unfortunately for this year, medyo naubos na.

260
00:38:46,890 --> 00:38:50,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Pero humihingi tayong nagdagdag pa from the national government.

261
00:38:50,890 --> 00:38:57,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Then, meron din tayong tupad na inallocate sa DA para sa mga affected farmers.

262
00:38:57,890 --> 00:39:04,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Dito sa mga climate changes kung kinakailangan, Mr. Chair.

263
00:39:04,890 --> 00:39:06,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

264
00:39:06,890 --> 00:39:08,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Isa pa pong katanungan.

265
00:39:08,890 --> 00:39:17,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Pagkatapos ng matinding pagbaha, paano tinutulungan ng DA ang mga magsasaka natin na malaman kung handa na ba ulit ang kanilang lupa for planting?

266
00:39:17,890 --> 00:39:21,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: May libre of subsidized bang soil testing at technical assistance?

267
00:39:21,890 --> 00:39:25,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: At gaano ito maka-accessible sa mga magsasaka po natin?

268
00:39:25,890 --> 00:39:26,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Sa ngayon, we have the...

269
00:39:27,890 --> 00:39:35,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: We have, Mr. Chair, 17 mobile soil laboratories aside from the existing land-based...

270
00:39:35,890 --> 00:39:40,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: fixed-based solar laboratories na pwedeng i-access ng mga other farmers.

271
00:39:40,890 --> 00:39:47,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Although, I have to admit na kulang pa ito at the volume we can process is hindi ganun ka...

272
00:39:47,890 --> 00:39:49,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Malaki na rin compared to...

273
00:39:49,890 --> 00:39:53,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Dating lima lang yan eh. Ngayon nasa mga 20 plus na eh.

274
00:39:53,890 --> 00:39:56,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So, malaking rami yung dinadagdag natin.

275
00:39:56,890 --> 00:39:58,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But still kulang pa rin.

276
00:39:58,890 --> 00:40:01,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But libre ito as of the moment.

277
00:40:01,890 --> 00:40:05,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: At pwedeng magpa-test ang mga farmers natin.

278
00:40:05,890 --> 00:40:13,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But normally naman pag after a bagyo, ang lupa naman normally pwedeng taniman kaagad eh.

279
00:40:13,890 --> 00:40:15,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Basta lang nag-receive na yung baha.

280
00:40:15,890 --> 00:40:24,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So, but soil testing is always good to be more accurate sa pangangailangan ng lupa para maka-save din ang cost, Mr. Chair.

281
00:40:24,890 --> 00:40:25,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Thank you po, Mr. Chair.

282
00:40:25,890 --> 00:40:29,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: And for our final question po, this is related to our advocacy.

283
00:40:29,890 --> 00:40:36,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Kami po sa Pinoy Workers is very supportive of our fisherfolk and farmers in the West Philippine Sea.

284
00:40:36,890 --> 00:40:41,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Dahil po ako personal taga-Palawan po ako, kaya this is close to our heart po.

285
00:40:41,890 --> 00:40:48,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: And yung katanungan lang po for the fishing communities in Palawan, particularly those dependent on the fishing grounds in our West Philippine Sea,

286
00:40:48,890 --> 00:40:54,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: what livelihood and production support will be available in this coming budget...

287
00:40:54,890 --> 00:40:56,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: in the 2027 budget?

288
00:40:56,890 --> 00:41:07,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: And how does BEFAR, if that is the case, plan to improve access to assistance such as fuel, ice, fishing gear, insurance, and market support?

289
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:08,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Thank you po.

290
00:41:08,890 --> 00:41:18,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Mr. Chair, sa Palawan, meron tayong bagong port na ginagawa ng Philippine Fisheries Development Authority sa Puerto Princesa area, no?

291
00:41:18,890 --> 00:41:19,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Near Puerto Princesa.

292
00:41:19,890 --> 00:41:22,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: That will be 15 hectare yata na port.

293
00:41:22,890 --> 00:41:29,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: 15 hectare yata na port na lalagyan natin ng ice plant, cold storage, blast freezers.

294
00:41:29,890 --> 00:41:33,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: At ikokonek yon sa other side sa Ulugan Bay.

295
00:41:33,890 --> 00:41:41,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Para nga yung mga isda from the West Philippine Sea, ibabawa sa Ulugan Bay na port din na meron tayo doon.

296
00:41:41,890 --> 00:41:48,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Para tas itatransport nalang by land to that port, that new port, which should be finished by next year.

297
00:41:48,890 --> 00:41:50,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Para ma-process yon at madala sa mga iba-ibang market.

298
00:41:52,890 --> 00:41:53,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Number one, no?

299
00:41:53,890 --> 00:41:57,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Tuloy-tuloy yung ating intervention sa seaweed.

300
00:41:57,890 --> 00:42:11,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Magtatayo tayo ng bagong bioreactor facility rin by this year, hopefully, for planting material, propagation of planting material sa seaweed sa Palawan.

301
00:42:11,890 --> 00:42:16,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Meron na tayo sa Sorsogon, may Palawan tayo, at meron pa isang location, I forgot lang kung saan.

302
00:42:16,890 --> 00:42:21,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But Palawan is, definitely we want to increase yung seaweed production natin sa Palawan para yung mga mga isda,

303
00:42:21,890 --> 00:42:25,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: pwede rin mag-aalaga ng kanilang seaweeds.

304
00:42:25,890 --> 00:42:36,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Meron din tayong livestock program na ipapamahagi like mga kambing at tupa sa mga fisher folks na may spare time sila after fishing sa madaling araw.

305
00:42:36,890 --> 00:42:41,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Pwede rin sila mag-aalaga ng hayop for their own communities, Mr. Chair.

306
00:42:41,890 --> 00:42:50,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Ano lang po, Mr. Secretary, regarding po kayo sa cold storage, meron po kayang possibility na magkaroon tayo ng cold storage facilities?

307
00:42:50,890 --> 00:42:59,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Kasi po, sa mga communities po na nalagayan namin sa west coast, especially po sa mga barangay ng Apurawan, yun po sa Aboyland in Puerto,

308
00:42:59,890 --> 00:43:10,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: yung reklamo po ng mga fisher folk, dahil nga walang cold storage na available para sa kanila, usually naubos na yung catch nila galing sa laot kasi nabibili ng mga buyers na nandun na sa Palawate.

309
00:43:10,890 --> 00:43:18,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: At di na nila nabababa sa Palawan mainland yung catch. At yung nagsasuffer po yung local economy kasi nga nababawasan na po yung availability ng fish.

310
00:43:20,890 --> 00:43:27,890
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Kaya meron po kayang provisions po for the budget to allocate for cold storage?

311
00:43:27,890 --> 00:43:37,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: For 2027, Mr. Chair, meron kaming nasa budget namin na solar-powered ice plants na 5 to 10 tons per day na capacity.

312
00:43:37,890 --> 00:43:42,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Meron kaming 10 to 15, depende sa capacity na units.

313
00:43:42,890 --> 00:43:47,890

314
00:43:47,890 --> 00:43:48,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Kasi nga, yung North Palawan saka Southern Palawan, meron kaming 10 to 15 units.

315
00:43:50,890 --> 00:43:51,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Yung North Palawan, kailangan may mga ice plant.

316
00:43:51,890 --> 00:44:01,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Tapos yung cold storage and freezers nandun sa gitna, dun sa may Puerto Princesa para yung fresh fish or seafoods nama may yelo,

317
00:44:01,890 --> 00:44:07,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: madadala natin sa blast freezing area, cold storage areas para ma-process.

318
00:44:07,890 --> 00:44:11,890
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: And madala sa tourist markets itin atin in Manila and everywhere.

324
00:44:25,350 --> 00:44:30,030

346
00:47:17,330 --> 00:47:20,970

347
00:47:20,990 --> 00:47:22,590
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Sa ating mga ongoing projects?

348

349
00:47:29,070 --> 00:47:33,070

350
00:47:33,070 --> 00:47:34,130
PFDA Acting General Manager Glen A. Pangapalan: Deepwater.

351
00:47:34,510 --> 00:47:39,470

352
00:47:39,750 --> 00:47:41,750

357
00:48:03,730 --> 00:48:06,490
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Ongoing. So sa bago po, wala po tayong naka-allocate.

358
00:48:07,630 --> 00:48:08,630
PFDA Acting General Manager Glen A. Pangapalan: Wala po pang DBM.

359
00:48:09,210 --> 00:48:11,990
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Wala po tayong pondong, hindi po tayong nabigyan.

360
00:48:12,210 --> 00:48:16,910
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Pero meron po ba tayong proposal for new fish ports?

361
00:48:17,350 --> 00:48:17,930
PFDA Acting General Manager Glen A. Pangapalan: Opo, opo.

362
00:48:18,850 --> 00:48:23,350

363
00:48:23,350 --> 00:48:24,170
PFDA Acting General Manager Glen A. Pangapalan: I'm sorry.

364
00:48:25,250 --> 00:48:25,930

365
00:48:25,950 --> 00:48:32,010

366
00:48:32,470 --> 00:48:32,910
PFDA Acting General Manager Glen A. Pangapalan: Opo, opo.

367
00:48:32,990 --> 00:48:37,410
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: And yet, ang nabigyan po sa atin ay 3.8 billion lang po. Tama po?

368
00:48:37,810 --> 00:48:42,570
PFDA Acting General Manager Glen A. Pangapalan: Yes, yes.

369
00:48:44,730 --> 00:48:47,090
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Mr. Chair, this is where I am concerned, no?

370
00:48:47,830 --> 00:48:54,990
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Nakita po natin na, so 2025, ang nabigay po sa PFDA, 5.5 billion.

371
00:48:55,610 --> 00:48:58,110
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Tapos po, 2026, 4.5.

372
00:48:58,110 --> 00:48:59,830
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Ngayon po, 3.8.

373
00:48:59,850 --> 00:49:04,290
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Pababa po na pababa yung pondong na-allocate po sa PFDA.

374
00:49:05,090 --> 00:49:12,670
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: And yet, kumakita natin, napakarami pong port na pangangailangan ang ating bansa

375
00:49:12,670 --> 00:49:16,190
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: because of our archipelagic nature.

376
00:49:16,530 --> 00:49:18,330
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Alam niyo po, mayroon akong research na nabasa.

377
00:49:18,530 --> 00:49:26,030
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: There's about 2,800 fishports in Japan.

378
00:49:26,030 --> 00:49:27,490
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: In Japan po.

379
00:49:27,490 --> 00:49:34,510
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Now, wherein talagang makita natin how successful the fishing industry is in Japan.

380
00:49:35,170 --> 00:49:41,250
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: However, in our country, parang wala pa po ata sa dalawang daan.

381
00:49:41,830 --> 00:49:44,790
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: O baka 100 plus lang po yung fishport natin.

382
00:49:45,050 --> 00:49:48,350
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: And yet, we have 7,000 plus islands.

383
00:49:49,070 --> 00:49:53,550
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: With that, Mr. Chair, we have members here in the appropriation.

384
00:49:53,550 --> 00:49:56,770
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Baka naman po pwede po nating tugunan.

385
00:49:56,770 --> 00:50:03,950
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Yung pangangailangan ng PFDA with regard to the variants needed in order to fulfill their mandate.

386
00:50:05,290 --> 00:50:06,310
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Marami po tayo.

387
00:50:06,390 --> 00:50:13,930
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Alam mo, hindi ko na po inaano, pero karamihan po ng pondo ng DA po na pupunta po sa ating mga magsasaka,

388
00:50:14,150 --> 00:50:15,150
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: sa ating mga farmers.

389
00:50:15,610 --> 00:50:25,110
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Parang nakakalimutan po natin na malaking tulong din at malaking portion din ng ating mga magagawa

390
00:50:25,110 --> 00:50:27,430
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: ay mga fisher folks.

391
00:50:27,690 --> 00:50:37,770
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: So, kung saan na po pwede po nating dagdagan ang pondo ng DA para po mabihayaan naman po ang ating mga fisher folks.

392
00:50:38,110 --> 00:50:42,290
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: And then, another question, Mr. Chair.

393
00:50:43,290 --> 00:50:49,750
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: In 2025, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA,

394
00:50:50,790 --> 00:50:52,190
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: parang may binan po sila.

395
00:50:52,350 --> 00:50:54,330
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: They assessed the Philippine fisheries and denied.

396
00:50:54,330 --> 00:50:58,610
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: They denied comparability findings for two blue swimming crab.

397
00:50:59,470 --> 00:51:03,750
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: This is a fishery ID 2129 and fishery ID 2130.

398
00:51:04,670 --> 00:51:12,930
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: I'm just concerned regarding this particular, what do you call it, particular crab, no?

399
00:51:13,330 --> 00:51:20,730
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Kasi napakalaki nung nawawala sa atin na potential income from export

400
00:51:20,730 --> 00:51:22,730
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: just because this particular...

401
00:51:24,330 --> 00:51:29,050
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Variant is banned in the U.S.

402
00:51:30,290 --> 00:51:40,470
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Meron po ba tayong ginagawang paraan para po matulungan yung ating mga crab fisheries or racers?

403
00:51:41,690 --> 00:51:51,910
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Mr. Chair, we would like to request Usec Drus Bayate of Fisheries for officials to give the details of the blue swimming crab issue.

404
00:51:52,410 --> 00:51:52,910
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

405
00:51:54,330 --> 00:51:55,570
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: Good evening.

406
00:51:56,510 --> 00:52:00,410
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: I'm Usec Drus Bayate, Undersecretary for Fisheries.

407
00:52:01,430 --> 00:52:08,390
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: Our issue with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

408
00:52:08,390 --> 00:52:15,070
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: stem from the implementation of the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act.

409
00:52:15,070 --> 00:52:24,080
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: May import provision dun sa U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act.

410
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:37,120
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: At the fishing gears na ginagamit natin sa pag-capture ng crabs,

411
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:41,260
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: ang crabs na sinasabi nila alimasag, blue swimming crabs,

412
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:46,000
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: this is our major export to the U.S., ang blue crab meat.

413
00:52:47,380 --> 00:52:52,500
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: So, ang blue crab meat natin in the country are concentrated in the Visayan Sea,

414
00:52:52,500 --> 00:52:55,360
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: in Guimara Strait,

415
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:57,360
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: and Malampaya Sound.

416
00:52:58,900 --> 00:53:02,620
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: So, itong mga areas na ito,

417
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,940
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: may findings ang mga researchers in the past,

418
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:13,920
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: na pag hinuhuli nila, ginagamit nila yung sinasabi mong fisheries ID.

419
00:53:14,340 --> 00:53:20,240
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: That is ang isang 2930 and 2931.

420
00:53:20,740 --> 00:53:21,940
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: 31, magkasunod.

421
00:53:21,940 --> 00:53:23,440
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: 2129 at 2130.

422
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:24,000
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: Yeah.

423
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:24,240
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: Tama po.

424
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:31,040
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: That refers to the fishing gear na ginagamit, which is the crab gill net.

425
00:53:31,700 --> 00:53:36,500
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: At ang isa, nagre-refer sa crab pots.

426
00:53:36,780 --> 00:53:37,280
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: And traps.

427
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:37,820
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: Okay.

428
00:53:38,340 --> 00:53:45,940
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: So, in the process na nilalagay ito siya, actually, our stakeholders there are artisanal fishers.

429
00:53:45,940 --> 00:53:54,840
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: These artisanal fishers are stakeholders, na major stakeholders ng coastal municipalities.

430
00:53:55,840 --> 00:54:00,400
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: They are under the jurisdiction of the local government units.

431
00:54:00,620 --> 00:54:04,520
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: And BIFAR is committed to assist them.

432
00:54:05,380 --> 00:54:13,420
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: Kasi, in the process of fishing, at maglagay sila ng kanilang gill net,

433
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:18,180
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: nakaka-entangle o nag-i-interact doon ang Irawadi Dolphin.

434
00:54:18,780 --> 00:54:24,080
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: And, so, that is the summary.

435
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:25,420
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: So, ngayon,

436
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,600
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: ang tanong ng Kano sa atin,

437
00:54:28,020 --> 00:54:29,700
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: do we have the appropriate policy?

438
00:54:30,700 --> 00:54:31,540
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: Number two,

439
00:54:32,660 --> 00:54:39,620
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: do we have mitigating measures na ibaba yung interaction na yun?

440
00:54:39,780 --> 00:54:45,140
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: Kasi, ang tingin nila, threatened na ang Irawadi Dolphins in the Philippines.

441
00:54:45,140 --> 00:54:48,140
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: So, ang ginawa natin is,

442
00:54:49,340 --> 00:54:53,140
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: we passed fisheries administrative order

443
00:54:53,700 --> 00:54:55,140
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: limiting the length,

444
00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:04,840
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: the length of the gill nets kasi nakakaratingin ng more than 1 kilometer into 500 meters.

445
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,840
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: So, yun ang ating policy measure na nilagay.

446
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,000
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: And then, in-assist natin ang mga LGU

447
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:18,640
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: to make sure that they have crafted their local ordinance to mitigate this.

448
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:20,580
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: So, yun po ang ating ginawa.

449
00:55:20,580 --> 00:55:22,780
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: And we will report to them

450
00:55:22,780 --> 00:55:25,820
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: in the last quarter of this year,

451
00:55:25,820 --> 00:55:28,820
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: we need to give them an update po

452
00:55:28,820 --> 00:55:34,820
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: kung na totally na ang commitment natin na in place na lahat.

453
00:55:34,820 --> 00:55:39,820
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: So, tinutulungan natin lahat ngayon ang ating mga local government units

454
00:55:39,820 --> 00:55:42,820
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: to craft their ordinance to comply with this requirement.

455
00:55:42,820 --> 00:55:43,820
DA Undersecretary Drusila Esther E. Bayate: Maraming salamat po.

456
00:55:43,820 --> 00:55:45,820
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: You know, the reason why I ask this,

457
00:55:45,820 --> 00:55:51,820
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: across kasi Western Visayas, we have 6,500 crab raisers.

458
00:55:51,820 --> 00:55:54,820
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: And sa distrito ko po, 2,600.

459
00:55:54,820 --> 00:55:58,820
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: So, about 40% po talaga, yan po ang kinabubuhay.

460
00:55:58,820 --> 00:56:04,820
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: So, with the US market being 90% of our market affected by this banning,

461
00:56:04,820 --> 00:56:08,820
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: hirap po yung aming mga crab raisers.

462
00:56:08,820 --> 00:56:15,820
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: So, sana po ma-comply na po natin at ma-regain access na kami sa US market

463
00:56:15,820 --> 00:56:17,820
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: at malaking tulong po yun sa amin.

464
00:56:17,820 --> 00:56:23,820
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Yun lang po, Mr. Chair, I'll be winding up my question and my manifestation.

465
00:56:23,820 --> 00:56:33,820
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: I would just like to request that if we can take a look at the budget of DA allocated for the PFDA and the fisheries,

466
00:56:33,820 --> 00:56:42,820
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: maybe we can allocate through the BARC wherein we can provide additional budget sa ating mga fish ports

467
00:56:42,820 --> 00:56:47,820
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: para naman po matugunan din ang mga pangangailangan ng ating mga manging isda.

468
00:56:47,820 --> 00:56:51,290
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Yun lang po. Maraming salamat.

469
00:56:51,290 --> 00:56:53,290
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Thank you, Congressman Howard Quinto.

470
00:56:55,290 --> 00:57:01,660
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: From the majority, Representative Christopher Cucuyap.

471
00:57:01,660 --> 00:57:14,760
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Mayong Gabi'i, Secretary, and DA family.

472
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:21,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: I'm here to support the budget of DA and if possible, increase the budget.

473
00:57:21,140 --> 00:57:29,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Alam natin kano ka-hardworking yung DA family natin and the affiliate agencies.

474
00:57:29,140 --> 00:57:31,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: For the first time, I've seen...

475
00:57:32,140 --> 00:57:42,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Last year, lahat ng reform na kinonsult namin, inaction lang talaga ng DA.

476
00:57:42,140 --> 00:57:45,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: So thank you, DA. We're here for you.

477
00:57:45,140 --> 00:57:52,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Nakita naman namin ang issue lang, medyo kulang lang tayo ng konti sa pundo.

478
00:57:52,140 --> 00:57:58,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: But the effort is there. Nakita namin. Especially in my province.

479
00:57:58,140 --> 00:58:00,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: A lot of reforms you have made.

480
00:58:00,140 --> 00:58:05,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Yung sa Bureau of Soil, laboratory.

481
00:58:05,140 --> 00:58:09,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: I think it's one of the most important project you had.

482
00:58:09,140 --> 00:58:18,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: If you're really serious about the issue with the implementation, kung yung efficiency ng productivity natin,

483
00:58:18,140 --> 00:58:28,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: I think one of this is yung ano talaga, yung soil laboratory para yung mga production natin, tsaka yung projection,

484
00:58:28,140 --> 00:58:31,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: is more or less scientific in approach.

485
00:58:31,140 --> 00:58:44,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: And of course, the NEA sa irrigation naman natin, I've seen a lot of improvement in my district.

486
00:58:44,140 --> 00:58:51,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: But may na-observe lang ako yung sa ano natin, QRF. Medyo hindi flexible.

487
00:58:51,140 --> 00:58:57,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: And I think medyo tali kayo. Kaya we're here to support that.

488
00:58:57,140 --> 00:59:01,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Kung anong changes na pwede niyong gawin.

489
00:59:01,140 --> 00:59:05,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: And of course, the repair and rehab. Very specific.

490
00:59:05,140 --> 00:59:16,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Kung may mga issues na mas importante, hindi natin mabigyan ng pansin or hindi natin matransfer yung mas importante na programa or proyekto.

491
00:59:16,140 --> 00:59:20,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Dahil medyo specific din. Detailed.

492
00:59:20,140 --> 00:59:24,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: And again, tali yung kamay niyo na hindi kayo maka-action agad.

493
00:59:24,140 --> 00:59:26,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: And the effort is there. Sinabi niyo naman.

494
00:59:27,140 --> 00:59:32,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Kung pwede lang sana. Pero yun nga, may restriction.

495
00:59:32,140 --> 00:59:34,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Yun ang gusto kong ma-address natin.

496
00:59:34,140 --> 00:59:42,140
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: And if ever, anong matulong ng Congress para ma-actionan at matulungan yung agency niyo.

497
00:59:42,140 --> 00:59:59,800
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: And regarding naman sa food security program.

498
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:18,440
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: I know, Sek, it's very important, especially with the current inflation and all the goods, especially yung pagkain, tumataas yung presyo, and very eccentric and important yung food security.

499
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:44,940
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Yung programa natin, I think we have to ask the DILJ na isama na rin ito sa compliance ng SGLJ to have all LGUs to have their own food security plan para naman makatulong.

500
01:00:44,940 --> 01:00:48,420
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: The issue of food security is not only a national issue.

501
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:49,280
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: But also local.

502
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:51,940
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: So siguro tayong lahat magtulong-tulong.

503
01:00:52,300 --> 01:00:56,940
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: And if we can comply with it, it will be included in the SGLJ.

504
01:00:57,460 --> 01:01:01,220
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: It would be a great help sa Department of Agriculture.

505
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:07,160
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: And yun rin siguro, Mr. Chair.

506
01:01:07,580 --> 01:01:10,520
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: So thank you and we're here to support your budget.

507
01:01:13,930 --> 01:01:16,370
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Thank you, Representative Kukuyap.

508
01:01:17,430 --> 01:01:19,830
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: I think this is the last from the majority.

509
01:01:21,290 --> 01:01:25,390
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Congressman Carlos Cari.

510
01:01:26,670 --> 01:01:28,090
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Good morning, Mr. Chair.

511
01:01:29,490 --> 01:01:30,830
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Save the best for last.

512
01:01:31,190 --> 01:01:31,570
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Ganun ba?

513
01:01:34,150 --> 01:01:40,530
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: With African swine fever still threatening backyard pig farmers,

514
01:01:41,410 --> 01:01:49,230
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: how much budget is set aside for 2027 to expand this community pig raising facilities?

515
01:01:49,230 --> 01:01:50,230
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Speed up.

516
01:01:50,230 --> 01:02:00,990
Rep. Carl Nicolas C. Cari: Speed up financial payouts for affected farmers and teach low-cost farm protection to rural families nationwide.

517
01:02:00,990 --> 01:02:29,540
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Mr. Chair, yung sa vaccine for backyard farmers, yun yung request din namin na sinulong din ni Congressman Briones na madagdagan ang aming budget ng 1 billion na puwede pang ASF o puwede pang AI para kung sakaling

518

789
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:38,460

802
01:33:27,480 --> 01:33:31,720
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At hindi po ba tayo magkakaroon ng mas pinalakas na kampanya

01:34:17,660 --> 01:34:17,900
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Tama?

811
01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:24,100
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So 800,000 tons na yung internal capacity ng NFA lang yun.

812
01:34:24,660 --> 01:34:28,660
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Plus nag-renta pa tayo ng mga warehouses plus yung warehouses sa iba.

813
01:34:28,660 --> 01:34:31,480
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: With the amount of money we have now,

814
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:40,680
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: enough na yung space na capacity natin, base sa buying quantity.

815
01:34:40,900 --> 01:34:42,560
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Tapos meron pa tayong programa ngayon.

816
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:50,000
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Dati kasi ang problema, hindi tayo makapaglabas ng bigas or palay dahil kung walang kalamidad.

817
01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:56,760
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Ngayon meron tayong 20 bigas ng ating 20 peso rice natin.

818
01:34:56,760 --> 01:34:59,780
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: At tuloy-tuloy na ang benta nun, araw-araw.

819
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:00,760
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: And we're talking about...

820
01:35:01,720 --> 01:35:09,540
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: 20,000 to eventually 40,000 tons a month yun na tuloy-tuloy lumalabas habang bumili-bili tayo.

821
01:35:09,660 --> 01:35:14,200
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So we are in a better, much, much better position now than before, Mr. Chair.

822
01:35:15,480 --> 01:35:21,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Chair, tungkol naman sa implementation ng Executive Order No. 101,

823
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:29,960
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: nakadikit itong EO-100 na nag-tutulakho ng full implementation ng Sagipsaka Act.

824
01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:31,700
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: So magkaugnay po yung dalawang yan.

825
01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:39,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At nais natin ma-require talagang government entities kasama ng LGUs na bumili ng food supplies,

826
01:35:39,780 --> 01:35:46,060
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: agricultural products na diretsyo mula sa mga farmers and fisher folk cooperatives.

827
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:52,320
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At dinedirekta din ito sa ilalim ng batas na ito na magkaroon tayo ng mga Sagipsaka desk.

828
01:35:52,700 --> 01:35:56,560
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Magkano ho ba ang gagastusin dito ng DA para sa susunod na taon?

829
01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:58,380
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At kung maaari din kayong mag-ulat.

830
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:00,560
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kumusta ho ba yung sitwasyon?

831
01:36:01,720 --> 01:36:04,960
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pagdating sa pagtitiyak, halimbawa dito sa Kongreso,

832
01:36:05,380 --> 01:36:09,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: na ang unang pinagkukunan natin ay yung ating mga lokal na mga producers.

833
01:36:09,820 --> 01:36:13,940
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pagdating sa mga pangangailangan, halimbawa sa pagkain at iba pang mga supplies.

834
01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:20,460
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Sa first part, Mr. Chair, I would like to categorically state na

835
01:36:20,460 --> 01:36:27,980
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: ang ganda ho ng Sagipsaka program na yan at talagang makakatulong sa ating mga farmers and fisher folks.

836
01:36:29,600 --> 01:36:31,560
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But of course, marami kami matatulong.

837
01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:37,560
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: May tinitwik ngayon dahil mayroon din mga ibang umaabuso nito at nandadaya in a sense.

838
01:36:37,720 --> 01:36:41,460
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But in general, talagang magandang advantage ito.

839
01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:48,440
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Yung detalya ng magkano magagastus, I would request na payagan natin si Asik Joycel Panlilio to give the details.

840
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:49,620
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Asik Joycel?

841
01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:52,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair.

842
01:36:52,540 --> 01:37:00,040
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Bago natin pakinggan, amingin ko na rin po yung detalye dun sa sinabi ni Secretary na may nang-aabuso, may nandadaya.

843
01:37:00,460 --> 01:37:01,700
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: May naimbestigahan ba tayo?

844
01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:04,100
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: May nahabol, may napanagot pagdating dito?

845
01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:17,520
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Sa ngayon, mayroon tayong iniimbestigahan na mga rice supplier sa mga LGU na instead of selling yung local rice,

846
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:20,040
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: mukhang imported ang nabenta nila.

847
01:37:20,300 --> 01:37:24,780
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Pero wala pa kaming, maraming hearsay kasi sa ganun.

848
01:37:24,780 --> 01:37:28,600
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So we're trying to validate everything.

849
01:37:28,920 --> 01:37:31,600
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But mayroon kami mga horror stories.

850
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:33,360
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Mayroon kami mga naririnig sa ganun.

851
01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:39,980
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Pero mukhang nung umpisa kami mag-investigate, mukhang nag-died na may natakot din.

852
01:37:40,140 --> 01:37:45,640
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Kasi nga siguro may natakot din sa amin, in a sense.

853
01:37:46,700 --> 01:37:54,120
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Chair, higin po natin para sa submission sa Committee on Appropriations ng ulat tungkol dito sa mga tinatawag na mga horror stories.

854
01:37:54,280 --> 01:37:57,980
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kasi baka marami dito, hindi lang kwento, pero nangyayari talaga yung abuso.

855
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:00,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At dapat may pananagutan pagdating dyan.

856
01:38:00,540 --> 01:38:01,520
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayon, Mr. Chair.

857
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:07,780
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sir, pwede na po natin pakinggan yung detalye po ng ulat tungkol sa full implementation ng Sagipsaka Act.

858
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:10,520
DA Assistant Secretary Joycel R. Panlilio: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

859
01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:16,320
DA Assistant Secretary Joycel R. Panlilio: Regarding po sa establishment of the Sagipsaka Desk, we have a budget for the establishment this year.

860
01:38:16,420 --> 01:38:24,600
DA Assistant Secretary Joycel R. Panlilio: But for next year, we only have a budget of around 2 million pesos for ICT equipment for the Sagipsaka Desk.

861
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:31,160
DA Assistant Secretary Joycel R. Panlilio: That's exactly 1.95 million po in the entire country, iba-ibang regions po ito.

862
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:34,740
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At ito pong 95 million pesos ay fully funded.

863
01:38:35,060 --> 01:38:37,720
DA Assistant Secretary Joycel R. Panlilio: 1.95 po. This is under the NEP.

864
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:37,940
DA Assistant Secretary Joycel R. Panlilio: 1.95 million.

865
01:38:38,220 --> 01:38:45,600
DA Assistant Secretary Joycel R. Panlilio: Under the NEP. For this year naman po, funded po siya doon po sa budget po ng Sagipsaka for this year.

866
01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:49,700
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ito ay fully funded for this year and next year?

867
01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:51,160
DA Assistant Secretary Joycel R. Panlilio: Yes, Madam. Mr. Chair.

868
01:38:51,700 --> 01:38:58,940
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At yan din ang hangad natin, Mr. Chair, dun sa marami pang mga programa na kulang-nakulang ang pondo o nakaltasan ng malaking pondo

869
01:38:58,940 --> 01:39:01,260
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para po sa susunod na taon.

870
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:06,180
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayon naman po, nais ko rin magtanong tungkol sa farm-to-market roads.

871
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:13,420
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nabanggit po kanina yung mga issues, mga anomalies na gusto natin maimbestigahan.

872
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:21,400
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero ang concern naman po ng mga kababaihan, kung meron ba talagang pinupuntahan na merkado yung mga kalsadang ito.

873
01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:28,000
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Dahil nakikita po namin na kunti-kunti na po namamatay ang mga public market sa buong bansa.

874
01:39:28,420 --> 01:39:30,680
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Napapalitan ng mga malalaking retailers.

875
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:33,680
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi naman po masama, pero nais din natin na masuportahan.

876
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:40,680
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Habang may mga malalaking retailers, masuportahan din yung revitalization at redevelopment,

877
01:39:41,480 --> 01:39:48,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: muling pagsasabuhay ng ating mga pampublikong merkado na pinakaunang pinagbabaksakan ng mga lokal na produkto

878
01:39:48,900 --> 01:39:51,380
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ng ating mga magsasaka at mga mangingisda.

879
01:39:51,740 --> 01:39:58,220
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Meron ho bang ganun na requirement, qualification, pagdating sa identification ng farm-to-market roads

880
01:39:58,220 --> 01:40:00,220
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: na natitiyak na yung mga kalsadang ginagawa.

881
01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:12,880
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ay napupunta talaga at dumudulo sa mga merkado, mga pamilihan na magtitiyak din ang abot-kaya at abot-kamay na produkto para sa ating mga kababayan?

882
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:20,120
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Mr. Chair, basically, all roads eventually lead to a market.

883
01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:30,120
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But the problem is, sa napaliwanag niya kanina at na 55,000 kilometers pa ang kakulangan sa ating farm-to-market road network sa buong Pilipinas.

884
01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:38,840
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So, yung implement, while the master plan shows that it really goes to the market,

885
01:40:39,580 --> 01:40:46,880
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: but yung pondong binibigay na 16 billion will only suffice for 1,000 kilometers a year.

886
01:40:47,420 --> 01:40:50,680
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So talagang, patsi-patsi talagang nakikita.

887
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:58,020
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Although some areas, talagang may malapit na yung makompleto, talagang may mahahaba na.

888
01:40:58,020 --> 01:41:00,540
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But yung may tinatawag tayong road.

889
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:06,160
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Influence area, may poverty incidents na kinukonsider, number of farmers or fisherfolk beneficiaries,

890
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:14,700
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: distance to network links, present road conditions, climate change adaptation, average daily traffic, tinitignan din natin yun.

891
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:21,360
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Plus, of course, there are farm-to-market na missionary routes talaga na kailangan mong buksan ng bagong production area

892
01:41:21,360 --> 01:41:29,360
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: o kaya may isolated barangay na talagang kailangan nalagyan ng kalye para yung produkto nila maibaba kahit hindi ganong karami yun.

893
01:41:29,860 --> 01:41:30,460
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But at least it will help.

894
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:32,340
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: It will help that particular community.

895
01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:35,540
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So kasi ang farm-to-market is not only for agri.

896
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:39,980
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Pag tinayo natin yan, ang raming other benefits to the local economy.

897
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:41,080
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Alam naman natin.

898
01:41:41,180 --> 01:41:41,920
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

899
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:46,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Chair, panghuli na lang na manifestation dahil naubos na rin ang aking oras.

900
01:41:47,100 --> 01:41:50,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nakita namin sa consultation sa mga public market vendors.

901
01:41:51,500 --> 01:41:54,800
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nandyan ang Department of Agriculture para sa price monitoring,

902
01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:58,160
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ng agricultural products.

903
01:41:58,560 --> 01:42:00,500
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngunit ang isang sa nakita namin,

904
01:42:00,680 --> 01:42:05,260
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ang malaking gap na wala pong nagtitiyak na sa pangkabuan

905
01:42:05,260 --> 01:42:09,120
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ay na-maintain na natin yung mga public markets.

906
01:42:09,460 --> 01:42:12,060
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Lubos po yan na kaasa sa local government units

907
01:42:12,060 --> 01:42:15,220
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para sa administration, management,

908
01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:18,840
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: lahat ng issues na may kinalama sa sanitation, hygiene,

909
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:23,480
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: maintenance ng mga micro and small businesses dun sa area.

910
01:42:24,220 --> 01:42:28,500
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa tingin ko, hindi dapat buong-buong bitawan ito ng pambansang pamahalaan

911
01:42:28,500 --> 01:42:30,480
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: dahil bukod sa trabaho,

912
01:42:30,480 --> 01:42:31,640
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: at kabuhayan,

913
01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:35,140
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: napakalaki nang nagagawa nito para sa lokal na agrikultura.

914
01:42:35,140 --> 01:42:42,020
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Na matiyak na may madaling malapitan at mapuntahan yung ating mga kababayan

915
01:42:42,020 --> 01:42:44,720
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: sa mga pampublikong merkado.

916
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:51,420
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pagkailangan nila ng halimbawa ng pambili ng pagkain ng gulay, ng prutas.

917
01:42:51,420 --> 01:42:55,140
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa public markets, makakatawad ka pa eh.

918
01:42:55,140 --> 01:42:57,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero hindi mo yan magagawa sa mga malalaking retailers.

919
01:42:57,900 --> 01:43:00,480
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa public markets, makakapagpalista ka pa.

920
01:43:00,480 --> 01:43:05,880
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa panahon ng kagipitan o kaya mangutang muna dun sa mga suki mo.

921
01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:08,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi mo yan magagawa sa mga malalaking retailers.

922
01:43:08,580 --> 01:43:14,720
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya nilapit na rin namin ito sa DTI dahil wala din daw po sa kanilang mandato ito.

923
01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:18,040
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang sabi po nila sa amin, sa DA daw po namin ilapit.

924
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:22,240
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero sa tingin namin, sana magkaroon tayo ng pambansang programa

925
01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:26,780
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para sa revitalization ng public markets sa ating bansa.

926
01:43:26,780 --> 01:43:29,640
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At nakikita namin na hindi lang ito,

927
01:43:30,480 --> 01:43:32,080
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: na DA na mandato.

928
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:36,280
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero sana ho, magkaroon ng pagtutulungan ng ating mga agencies

929
01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:43,220
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para mabuhay muli, mabigyang sigla, mapalakas yung ating mga public markets sa buong bansa.

930
01:43:43,220 --> 01:43:46,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Matiyak yung trabaho ng mga market vendors at market workers.

931
01:43:46,900 --> 01:43:50,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At higit sa lahat, matiyak na may diretsyong pagbabagsakan

932
01:43:50,900 --> 01:43:55,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: yung mga produkto ng ating mga maliliit na magsasaka at maingisda.

933
01:43:55,580 --> 01:43:57,140
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair.

934
01:43:57,140 --> 01:43:59,480
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat sa Department of Agriculture.

935
01:43:59,480 --> 01:44:05,700
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Mr. Chair, we do not disagree with the comments forwarded.

936
01:44:05,780 --> 01:44:10,040
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: It is actually welcome sa amin yung idea na yun.

937
01:44:11,100 --> 01:44:15,140
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But sa ngayon, ang main concentration ng Department of Agriculture

938
01:44:15,140 --> 01:44:22,280

1243
01:55:22,080 --> 01:55:24,080
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: of chemical-intensive

1244
01:55:24,080 --> 01:55:26,080
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: farming as

1245
01:55:26,080 --> 01:55:28,080
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: it destroys soil health,

1246
01:55:28,080 --> 01:55:30,080

1253
01:55:43,330 --> 01:55:45,330
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: detrimental to

1254
01:55:45,330 --> 01:55:47,330

1256
01:55:49,330 --> 01:55:51,330
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: on poor long-term productivity.

1257
01:55:51,330 --> 01:55:53,330
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: But these

1258
01:55:53,330 --> 01:55:55,330
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: fertilizers

1259
01:55:55,330 --> 01:55:57,330
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: are extremely expensive.

1260
01:55:57,330 --> 01:55:59,330
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Farmers have

1261
01:55:59,330 --> 01:56:03,160
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: sold their assets

1262
01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:05,160
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: just to produce the capital necessary

1263
01:56:05,160 --> 01:56:07,160
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: to purchase

1264
01:56:07,160 --> 01:56:09,160
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: chemical-intensive

1265
01:56:09,160 --> 01:56:18,360

1274
01:56:49,240 --> 01:56:51,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: hectare. The SRE has been

1275
01:56:51,240 --> 01:56:53,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: able to distribute initial

1276
01:56:53,240 --> 01:56:55,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: inputs for some farmers,

1277
01:56:55,240 --> 01:56:57,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: but have

1278
01:56:57,240 --> 01:56:59,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: not been able to distribute for

1279

1283
01:57:07,240 --> 01:57:09,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Does the DA or SRE have

1284
01:57:09,240 --> 01:57:11,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: a record of how many sugarcane

1285
01:57:11,240 --> 01:57:13,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: farms by actors

1286
01:57:13,240 --> 01:57:15,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: are affected by RSSI?

1287
01:57:15,240 --> 01:57:17,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Are we able to provide

1288
01:57:17,240 --> 01:57:19,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: access to pesticides

1289
01:57:19,240 --> 01:57:21,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: for all affected sugarcane

1290
01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:23,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: farms?

1291
01:57:23,240 --> 01:57:25,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: How much is needed to cover

1292
01:57:25,240 --> 01:57:27,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: all sugar farms affected

1293
01:57:27,240 --> 01:57:29,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: by RSSI?

1294
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:31,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: And

1295
01:57:31,240 --> 01:57:33,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: has the DA looked

1296
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:35,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: into lower cost

1297
01:57:35,240 --> 01:57:37,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: solutions for

1298
01:57:37,240 --> 01:57:39,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: RSSI?

1299
01:57:39,240 --> 01:57:41,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: According to entomology

1300
01:57:41,240 --> 01:57:43,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: scientists, there are at least

1301
01:57:43,240 --> 01:57:45,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: two nature-based solutions

1302
01:57:45,240 --> 01:57:47,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: for RSSI.

1303
01:57:47,240 --> 01:57:49,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Comperiella

1304
01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:51,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: calawanica,

1305
01:57:51,240 --> 01:57:53,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: awast

1306
01:57:53,240 --> 01:57:55,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: used as natural

1307
01:57:55,240 --> 01:57:57,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: predator for cocolisa.

1308
01:57:57,240 --> 01:57:59,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Lace eggs in the body

1309
01:57:59,240 --> 01:58:01,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: of RSSI insect

1310
01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:03,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: and two

1311
01:58:03,240 --> 01:58:05,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: entomophat

1312
01:58:05,240 --> 01:58:07,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: genic insect

1313
01:58:07,240 --> 01:58:09,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: killing fungi

1314
01:58:09,240 --> 01:58:11,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: that suffocates the RSSI

1315
01:58:11,240 --> 01:58:13,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: upon contact.

1316
01:58:13,240 --> 01:58:15,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Both nature-based solutions

1317
01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:17,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: are cheaper and readily

1318
01:58:17,240 --> 01:58:19,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: available in agricultural

1319
01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:21,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: universities as an

1320
01:58:21,240 --> 01:58:23,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: estimated

1321
01:58:23,240 --> 01:58:25,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: 2,000 per hectare.

1322
01:58:25,240 --> 01:58:27,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Why are these nature-based

1323
01:58:27,240 --> 01:58:29,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: solutions to RSSI

1324
01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:31,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: not financed

1325
01:58:31,240 --> 01:58:33,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: by DA? How much

1326
01:58:33,240 --> 01:58:35,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: is needed to finance

1327
01:58:35,240 --> 01:58:37,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: this as opposed to

1328
01:58:37,240 --> 01:58:39,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: existing chemical-based

1329
01:58:39,240 --> 01:58:41,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: pesticides the DA

1330
01:58:41,240 --> 01:58:43,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: SRA is currently

1331
01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:45,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: distributing? What

1332
01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:47,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: is preventing the DA

1333
01:58:47,240 --> 01:58:49,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: from shifting from

1334
01:58:49,240 --> 01:58:51,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: chemical-based approaches

1335
01:58:51,240 --> 01:58:53,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: to integrated pest management

1336
01:58:53,240 --> 01:58:55,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: and nature-based

1337
01:58:55,240 --> 01:58:57,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: solutions to crop

1338
01:58:57,240 --> 01:58:59,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: pestilence? What

1339
01:58:59,240 --> 01:59:01,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: can the DA do now

1340
01:59:01,240 --> 01:59:03,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: to reach all

1341
01:59:03,240 --> 01:59:05,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: RSSI affected sugarcane

1342
01:59:05,240 --> 01:59:07,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: farms and to shift

1343
01:59:07,240 --> 01:59:09,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: to cheaper, more

1344
01:59:09,240 --> 01:59:11,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: ecologically sound and

1345
01:59:11,240 --> 01:59:13,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: less harmful nature-based

1346
01:59:13,240 --> 01:59:15,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: solutions to RSSI

1347
01:59:15,240 --> 01:59:17,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: and more broadly

1348
01:59:17,240 --> 01:59:19,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: integrated pest management?

1349
01:59:19,240 --> 01:59:21,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: We cannot wait

1350
01:59:21,240 --> 01:59:23,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: for 2027

1351
01:59:23,240 --> 01:59:25,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: budget. What solutions

1352
01:59:25,240 --> 01:59:27,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: can be launched

1353
01:59:27,240 --> 01:59:29,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: now to protect sugarcane

1354
01:59:29,240 --> 01:59:31,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: farms from pestilence

1355
01:59:31,240 --> 01:59:33,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: and to prevent farmers

1356
01:59:33,240 --> 01:59:35,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: from resorting

1357
01:59:35,240 --> 01:59:37,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: to going deeper

1358
01:59:37,240 --> 01:59:39,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: into depth

1359
01:59:39,240 --> 01:59:41,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: and sealing of their lands?

1360
01:59:41,240 --> 01:59:43,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Can you answer,

1361
01:59:43,240 --> 01:59:45,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Secretary? Anybody from

1362
01:59:45,240 --> 01:59:47,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: the Department?

1363
01:59:47,240 --> 01:59:49,240
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Mr. Chair, I'll give the initial

1364
01:59:49,240 --> 01:59:51,240
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: part

1365
01:59:51,240 --> 01:59:53,240
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: and then we'll ask

1366
01:59:53,240 --> 01:59:55,240
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: the SRA.

1367
01:59:55,240 --> 01:59:57,240
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Our reported area for RSSI

1368
01:59:57,240 --> 01:59:59,240
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: is affected as of

1369
01:59:59,240 --> 02:00:01,240
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: August 14.

1370
02:00:02,390 --> 02:00:05,320
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: It's 134,000 hectares of which 67,000 hectares have been validated.

1371
02:00:06,160 --> 02:00:14,540
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Sa ngayon, nagbibigay tayo ng pondo sa LGUs for the chemical fertilizers.

1372
02:00:15,800 --> 02:00:19,580
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Kailangan na natin gumamit ng chemical fertilizer

1373
02:00:19,580 --> 02:00:23,040
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: dahil ang production of biocontrol agents is very slow.

1374
02:00:23,640 --> 02:00:29,900
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But sa future, of course, we need to develop yung ating manufacturing in mass

1375
02:00:29,900 --> 02:00:34,700
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: ng biocontrol agents sa bawat munisipyo at bawat planted area

1376
02:00:34,700 --> 02:00:38,360
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: which the DA will be funding also.

1377
02:00:39,420 --> 02:00:43,040
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So yun ang the plan in general and the details.

1378
02:00:43,460 --> 02:00:47,040
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: I'd like to ask Admin Ascona to give more details.

1379
02:00:49,420 --> 02:00:50,780
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes po, Mr. Chair.

1380
02:00:50,780 --> 02:00:54,840
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: We were asked to answer the questions per number.

1381
02:00:55,540 --> 02:01:00,480
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So for number one, yun yung binigay ni Secretary po, yung background.

1382
02:01:01,340 --> 02:01:09,100
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Actually, chemical pesticide naman po if they're talking about the price in container,

1383
02:01:09,640 --> 02:01:13,920
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: the containers po are usually one liter or one gallon or four liters.

1384
02:01:14,640 --> 02:01:19,920
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: And the average cost per liter is about 2,000 pesos.

1385
02:01:19,920 --> 02:01:26,860
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So when used in one hectare, it actually goes down to 1,000 pesos per hectare per application,

1386
02:01:27,360 --> 02:01:29,840
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: not the 10,000 po mentioned.

1387
02:01:31,340 --> 02:01:41,380
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So initially, why is the DA and SRA using chemical pesticides instead of other means?

1388
02:01:41,380 --> 02:01:52,100
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: As the Secretary said, the intensity of the RSSI infestation requires us to use chemical pesticides

1389
02:01:52,100 --> 02:02:01,040
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: as a first resort as producing the biocontrols takes time.

1390
02:02:01,340 --> 02:02:08,020
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So for number one, actually, we have already provided a total of 209 million,

1391
02:02:08,560 --> 02:02:18,040
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: of which 23 million went to chemical pesticides and the rest went to fertilizers for the recovering fields.

1392
02:02:19,520 --> 02:02:26,560
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: There's an additional budget from the DA of 10 million for chemical pesticides as well.

1393
02:02:27,060 --> 02:02:31,040
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So for the area of coverage, we already had...

1394
02:02:31,340 --> 02:02:37,500
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: distributed chemicals good for about 35,000 hectares.

1395
02:02:37,500 --> 02:02:51,600
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: How much more is needed in terms of to cover all of the area is probably around 120 million pesos more

1396
02:02:51,600 --> 02:02:59,680
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: for the initial application because it does not take only one application to control it.

1397
02:02:59,720 --> 02:03:01,540
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So you need probably two sprayings.

1398
02:03:01,880 --> 02:03:02,900
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So that's for number one.

1399
02:03:03,740 --> 02:03:05,800
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: For question number two po.

1400
02:03:05,800 --> 02:03:07,780
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Sir, for number one question,

1401
02:03:08,720 --> 02:03:16,540
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: you're asking is how many sugarcane farms by hectares are affected by red stripes of scale?

1402
02:03:16,760 --> 02:03:17,000
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes.

1403
02:03:17,080 --> 02:03:18,120
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: By hectares, how many?

1404
02:03:18,120 --> 02:03:18,860
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes po.

1405
02:03:19,980 --> 02:03:24,820
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yung reported area po, Mr. Chair, is 134,000 hectares.

1406
02:03:25,220 --> 02:03:30,160
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yung verified area po is 67,443 hectares.

1407
02:03:32,180 --> 02:03:32,480
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Okay.

1408
02:03:37,140 --> 02:03:38,840
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Can you please answer number two?

1409
02:03:38,960 --> 02:03:43,630
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Okay.

1410
02:03:43,810 --> 02:03:50,440
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: For number two, has the DA looked at the lower cost?

1411
02:03:50,680 --> 02:03:51,100
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yun po, ma'am.

1412
02:03:51,760 --> 02:03:52,480
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes.

1413
02:03:52,740 --> 02:04:03,000
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Since 2025, the SRA and the DA have been producing a fungi which effectively kills RSSI.

1414
02:04:03,800 --> 02:04:14,480
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: This costs about around 150 pesos per hectare which amounts to about 1,500 pesos per hectare.

1415
02:04:14,480 --> 02:04:14,660
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Okay.

1416
02:04:15,320 --> 02:04:16,060
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: If applied.

1417
02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:22,280
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: The only hindrance to this is production of the fungi is very, very slow.

1418
02:04:23,240 --> 02:04:27,040
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: The laboratory facilities of the SRA are limited.

1419
02:04:28,100 --> 02:04:36,360
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: And as a result, the secretary has already instructed all available DA and government laboratories

1420
02:04:36,360 --> 02:04:42,340
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: as well as state universities to assist in producing the said fungi.

1421
02:04:43,300 --> 02:04:45,080
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: We've been doing it successfully.

1422
02:04:45,080 --> 02:04:46,000
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: We've been doing it successfully in Region 10.

1423
02:04:46,960 --> 02:04:53,940
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: And also, we've went down to meet with the LGUs, especially in Negros.

1424
02:04:54,500 --> 02:05:04,200
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: And they will come up with proposals for LGU-based laboratories to further produce our biocontrol agents.

1425
02:05:04,960 --> 02:05:12,000
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: This will assist in production as these agents will be needed in the future.

1426
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:15,000
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: And it's a continuing process.

1427
02:05:15,080 --> 02:05:19,400
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So, we need the established laboratories to take place.

1428
02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:25,440
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: And I think the DA also has earmarked a budget for the laboratories.

1429
02:05:25,660 --> 02:05:29,880
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: I think an additional 300 million if I remember right, Secretary.

1430
02:05:30,160 --> 02:05:30,220
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes.

1431
02:05:30,700 --> 02:05:33,340
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So, that's moving forward in the future.

1432
02:05:33,880 --> 02:05:36,980
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: But the initial step actually taken was chemicals.

1433
02:05:37,220 --> 02:05:38,160
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: That's for number two.

1434
02:05:39,420 --> 02:05:44,400
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So, how much does DA need for shifting for chemical-based approaches?

1435
02:05:44,560 --> 02:05:44,860
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: 300 million?

1436
02:05:44,860 --> 02:05:48,640
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: The Secretary already earmarked 300 million.

1437
02:05:49,080 --> 02:05:53,760
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: That includes establishing laboratories to produce the agents.

1438
02:05:55,280 --> 02:05:56,000
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Okay.

1439
02:05:56,220 --> 02:06:08,920
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: For number three, for IBM?

1440
02:06:09,200 --> 02:06:09,320
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes.

1441
02:06:09,760 --> 02:06:19,480
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: For number three, Mr. Chair, as of the moment, since we cannot wait for the 2027 budget,

1442
02:06:19,480 --> 02:06:21,480
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: the DA already released to...

1443
02:06:22,860 --> 02:06:26,860
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: will release to LGUs directly.

1444
02:06:26,900 --> 02:06:34,060
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: 35 million to be an initial budget to fight RSSI, the chemical way.

1445
02:06:35,120 --> 02:06:41,120
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Further budgets will be released as a quick response fund coming from the DA and SRA as needed.

1446
02:06:41,580 --> 02:06:44,900
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So, how do you distribute 35 million for LGUs?

1447
02:06:46,220 --> 02:06:52,780
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: The distribution was based on their verified affected areas.

1448
02:06:52,780 --> 02:06:53,900
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes, ma'am.

1449
02:06:53,900 --> 02:06:55,780
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Can you please identify...

1450
02:06:56,900 --> 02:07:00,200
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Areas that are most affected?

1451
02:07:03,040 --> 02:07:03,680
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes.

1452
02:07:04,140 --> 02:07:07,160
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: 65 percent...

1453
02:07:07,160 --> 02:07:07,780
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: No, this...

1454
02:07:07,780 --> 02:07:10,980
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: The 35 million is for the Negros Island region only.

1455
02:07:11,660 --> 02:07:11,880
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes.

1456
02:07:12,220 --> 02:07:18,320
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So, for additional budgets will be needed for Luzon and Bukidnon,

1457
02:07:18,440 --> 02:07:21,900
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: but the infestation rate is a lot lower than Negros.

1458
02:07:22,700 --> 02:07:23,120
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Okay.

1459
02:07:23,120 --> 02:07:25,690
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Any other question?

1460
02:07:29,500 --> 02:07:30,380
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So, for...

1461
02:07:30,380 --> 02:07:38,280
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So, how much do you need the entire program for all the regions?

1462
02:07:38,280 --> 02:07:46,980
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: For an initial response, Mr. Chair, I think an additional maybe around a total of 120 million for the first response.

1463
02:07:47,760 --> 02:07:52,140
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: First response for Negros Occidental, Bukidnon...

1464
02:07:52,140 --> 02:07:54,000
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: As a whole na po, ma'am. As a whole na po.

1465
02:07:54,720 --> 02:07:55,640
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: That's all, I think.

1466
02:07:55,900 --> 02:07:56,360
SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Thank you, po.

1467
02:07:57,320 --> 02:07:58,020
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Mr. Chair?

02:08:03,580 --> 02:08:05,080
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Mr. Chair, I think we will...

1469
02:08:05,080 --> 02:08:06,300
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: We will be waiting for chair.

1470
02:08:06,300 --> 02:08:18,680
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: We can move to suspend our budget hearing so that Secretary can take a break, like for 15 minutes, while waiting for chair.

1471
02:08:21,980 --> 02:08:22,740
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Any second.

1472
02:08:28,160 --> 02:08:30,360
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: There's a motion to suspend the budget hearing.

1473
02:08:33,850 --> 02:08:34,310

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: We have written requests sa ating Pangulo dated July 7, 2026

1503
02:30:05,840 --> 02:30:13,820
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: of which nandun yun ang hinihingi namin kung pwedeng madagdagan ng fertilizer assistance

1504
02:30:13,820 --> 02:30:22,060
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: by 8.7 billion for rice producing areas to sustain productivity and mitigate adverse effects of El Niño.

1505
02:30:22,780 --> 02:30:27,260
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Meron din tayong request na 1 billion sa corn post-harvest facility systems,

1506
02:30:27,260 --> 02:30:33,160
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: composting facilities na 1.1 billion but this is more for chicken manure processing

1507
02:30:33,160 --> 02:30:38,760
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: para for organic fertilizer pati sa waste to energy.

1508
02:30:40,240 --> 02:30:45,240
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Then agri-transport and support infrastructure projects, 300 million.

02:31:56,200 --> 02:31:57,200
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Among others...

1524
02:31:57,200 --> 02:32:10,320
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Yung restoration ng operating budget ng NMIS, ng NDA, dun sa re-alignment ng aming ANSEF funds, no?

1525
02:32:10,440 --> 02:32:15,980
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Moving forward, yung 20 billion namin na ma-re-align namin yun.

1526
02:32:17,740 --> 02:32:22,820
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: The massive coconut planting program natin and enhancing sugarcane production.

1527
02:32:22,820 --> 02:32:26,180
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Yung sa coconut planting program is 2.5 billion.

1528
02:32:26,200 --> 02:32:27,200
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Pero meron kaming...

1529
02:32:27,740 --> 02:32:30,580
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Kung ma-unlock yung Coco Levy funds, I think we're good.

1530
02:32:30,860 --> 02:32:38,400
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But kung di ma-unlock agad yan, we need the 2.5 to meet the President's target of 100 million trees by 2028.

1531
02:32:38,940 --> 02:32:42,120
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: And enhancing sugarcane production by 500 million.

1532
02:32:42,840 --> 02:32:47,180
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: And of course, the export development for ube production na 300 million.

1533
02:32:47,940 --> 02:32:53,120
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: And additional support to enhance the country's dairy production by 200 million.

1534
02:32:53,120 --> 02:32:55,120
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So, for now...

1535
02:32:56,200 --> 02:32:58,660
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Yun lang muna.

1536
02:32:59,340 --> 02:33:08,080
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: And yung dagdag din na pondo kung pwede sa agricultural food hubs natin, lalo na sa bukid nun, 1 billion.

1537
02:33:08,240 --> 02:33:08,560
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Thank you.

1538
02:33:10,080 --> 02:33:11,380
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Thank you very much, Paul.

1539
02:33:11,740 --> 02:33:12,180
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Sekiko.

1540
02:33:12,660 --> 02:33:23,240
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Sek, just wanted to ask, because one of the biggest items that we also added funding for during the Barsi last year was the deepwater ports.

1541
02:33:23,860 --> 02:33:25,800
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Kamusta na po yung implementation natin ng deepwater ports?

1542
02:33:26,200 --> 02:33:39,140
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Sa ngayon, Madam Chair, nasa bidding na tayo. So, hopefully, we will bid out yung sa Mindoro and yung isa sa Zamboanga del Norte.

1543
02:33:40,800 --> 02:33:42,840
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Then, tuloy-tuloy na siguro construction nun.

1544
02:33:43,540 --> 02:33:44,380
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Sek, you...

1545
02:33:44,380 --> 02:33:49,820
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: One more additional, kung pwede rin madagdagan yung farm-to-market roads natin, na budget.

1546
02:33:50,420 --> 02:33:55,460
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Thank you, Sek. I heard actually there was a lengthy discussion around the farm-to-market roads earlier.

1547
02:33:55,460 --> 02:33:55,520
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Thank you.

1548
02:33:56,180 --> 02:34:06,080
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: But, Sek, yung PAF, because I saw that the Presidential Assistance to Farmer and Fisher Folk does not have an allocation in the 2026...

1549
02:34:06,080 --> 02:34:07,360
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Sorry, 2027 NEP.

1550
02:34:07,560 --> 02:34:14,700
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: So, yung utilization rate naman po ba natin for 2026, almost depleted na po ba?

1551
02:34:15,000 --> 02:34:21,220
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: I know that was one of the first responses of the government that really helped out a lot.

1552
02:34:21,220 --> 02:34:25,320
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Pinaglaban po natin yan dito sa Kongreso na mag-earn po na po doon ng PAF.

1553
02:34:25,320 --> 02:34:33,320
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: At mukhang malaki po yung papel na ginampanan nito upang makatugon po doon sa fuel crisis.

1554
02:34:34,300 --> 02:34:37,960
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Bunsod po nung kaguluhan sa Middle East.

1555
02:34:38,220 --> 02:34:46,820
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: So, sige po, Sek, I just wanted to ask because that's also something that we can consider for funding in the 2027 budget.

1556
02:34:47,380 --> 02:34:53,740
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Kakamustahin lang po namin, Sek, yung utilization rate natin for the Presidential Assistance to Farmers and Fisher Folk.

1557
02:34:53,740 --> 02:34:59,500
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Madam Chair, 89.96 na ang disbursement natin dito.

1558
02:35:01,120 --> 02:35:05,940
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: An actual distribution is 57.67% na.

1559
02:35:06,060 --> 02:35:17,160
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But basically, dahil sa mga dagdag na nangyayari ngayon sa habagat, siguradong mauubos ito by next month, I guess.

1560
02:35:17,520 --> 02:35:23,680
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So, kailangan na kailangan din madagdagan at malagyan ng PAF ang ating budget.

1561
02:35:23,740 --> 02:35:28,420
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: For 2027, since tatawid ang El Niño. Madam Chair.

1562
02:35:29,020 --> 02:35:33,220
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Actually, Sek, thank you so much. That was actually my next question to you.

1563
02:35:34,080 --> 02:35:43,800
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: The PAF played such a huge role in responding to the Middle East conflict and the fuel crisis and energy crisis that transpired after.

1564
02:35:44,340 --> 02:35:49,780
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Siguro po, Sek, kasi yung sunod natin, diba, nitong mga nakaraang linggo, buwan, yung habagat.

1565
02:35:49,780 --> 02:35:52,780
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Tapos, meron na rin po, sana naman po hindi...

1566
02:35:53,740 --> 02:35:58,620
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Mangyari na ganun ka't hindi, but yung El Niño na nagbabadya po.

1567
02:35:58,800 --> 02:36:06,680
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: So, aside from the PAF, which we can also use to respond to the needs of the farmers,

1568
02:36:07,080 --> 02:36:15,840
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: meron na po bang nakabuild in doon po sa NEP na contingency funds po natin to respond to El Niño?

1569
02:36:16,620 --> 02:36:23,720
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Kasi para po makonsider lang po natin, baka kailangan pong dagdagan para po maka responde tayo kaagad sa El Niño.

1570
02:36:23,740 --> 02:36:30,100
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Yung sa El Niño, Madam Chair, doon sa ating farmers natin, nandun na yung...

1571
02:36:30,100 --> 02:36:39,480
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Napasok na, pero as I mentioned kanina, may kulang pa, tingin namin kulang pa ng 8.7 billion yung sa fertilizers for El Niño.

1572
02:36:40,080 --> 02:36:46,980
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Sa fisher folks naman, meron kaya humingi ang increase ang BIFAR ng budget from 10 to 12 billion

1573
02:36:46,980 --> 02:36:53,560
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: to address din yung mga, like yung solar aerators na gusto natin at solar pumps.

1574
02:36:53,740 --> 02:37:00,780
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Gusto natin ibigay sa mga aquaculture, mariculture natin para nga maka-cope sila sa coming El Niño.

1575
02:37:01,460 --> 02:37:02,140
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Thank you, Sec.

1576
02:37:02,220 --> 02:37:09,740
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: So, tatlo po na line items yung kailangan po natin dagdagan para po makatugon po tayo ng mas mabilis sa...

1577
02:37:10,380 --> 02:37:15,300
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Kung magkaroon man po ng El Niño, yung una po, yung Presidential Assistance of Farmers and Fisher Folk.

1578
02:37:15,560 --> 02:37:21,960
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Pangalawa po yung Fertilizer Assistance Fund, which as you mentioned po, 8 billion yung kakulangan.

1579
02:37:21,960 --> 02:37:22,960
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Tapos yung pangatlo po, yung sa...

1580
02:37:23,740 --> 02:37:26,720
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Fisher Folk sa under BIFAR.

1581
02:37:27,140 --> 02:37:28,880
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: So, Sir Sec, if we may...

1582
02:37:28,880 --> 02:37:34,000
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: When you submit po the prioritization of the wish list,

1583
02:37:34,300 --> 02:37:40,140
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: medyo mahaba po kasi, Sec, yung wish list and being cognizant po of the limited fiscal space,

1584
02:37:40,220 --> 02:37:42,600
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: we'll request for your help, Sec, to prioritize it.

1585
02:37:42,940 --> 02:37:46,860
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Pero please po, Sec, if it's okay po to put as a separate category,

1586
02:37:46,860 --> 02:37:51,860
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: ito yung mga pantugon sa El Niño, just so we can give...

1587
02:37:53,740 --> 02:37:59,120
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: special consideration to it para po matulungan din po namin yung Department of Agriculture

1588
02:37:59,120 --> 02:38:03,340
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: na mabilis na makatugon po sa pangangailangan na ating mga magsasaka dahil po sa El Niño.

1589
02:38:03,840 --> 02:38:07,020
DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Yes, Madam Chair. We will supply you with all the details, Madam Chair.

1590
02:38:07,200 --> 02:38:08,740
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Thank you very much po, Sec, Kiko.

1591
02:38:10,400 --> 02:38:13,260
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: That is on the part of the Department of Agriculture po.

1592
02:38:13,260 --> 02:38:23,700
Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: If I may po, Admin Guillen, any wish list, any items for consideration that you would like to put forth to the Committee on Appropriation?

1593
02:38:23,740 --> 02:38:28,140
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Thank you po, Madam Chair and all of our members of the Congress.

1594
02:38:28,700 --> 02:38:38,480
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: As we conclude this hearing, we respectfully appeal for your support, of course, in increasing NIA's FY2027 budget po.

1595
02:38:39,160 --> 02:38:44,260
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: NIA requested around P233 billion but only P46 billion was included in the NEP,

1596
02:38:44,660 --> 02:38:51,440
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: significantly lower po than our nearly P64 billion budget for FY2026.

1597
02:38:51,440 --> 02:38:52,440
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: With this...

1598
02:38:53,740 --> 02:38:57,000
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: reduction, many critical irrigation projects may be delayed,

1599
02:38:57,560 --> 02:39:03,220
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: including ongoing projects that must be completed to protect the government's existing investments

1600
02:39:03,220 --> 02:39:05,740
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: and deliver their long-awaited benefits to farmers.

1601
02:39:06,200 --> 02:39:10,200
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Kahit po yung mga congressman po kanina, Madam Chair, nagagalit po sa akin

1602
02:39:10,200 --> 02:39:14,460
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: dahil substantial din po ang pag-reduce ng kanilang mga budgets.

1603
02:39:15,040 --> 02:39:22,840
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: So, we also respectfully request that NIA's budget be restored to a program-based PREC-C presentation.

1604
02:39:22,840 --> 02:39:31,480
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: This will give us a reasonable flexibility to address unavoidable technical right-of-way and site readiness issues

1605
02:39:31,480 --> 02:39:37,000
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: while maintaining full transparency, accountability, and congressional oversight po.

1606
02:39:37,360 --> 02:39:44,280
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: At a time when we must strengthen food security and prepare for the possible civil effects of El Nino and climate change,

1607
02:39:44,760 --> 02:39:47,520
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: irrigation cannot be treated as an ordinary expense.

1608
02:39:47,520 --> 02:39:52,720
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: It is a strategic investment in agricultural productivity, rural development,

1609
02:39:52,840 --> 02:39:55,220
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: and stability of our nation's food supply.

1610
02:39:55,820 --> 02:40:03,600
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: We therefore humbly ask Congress to help restore and augment NIA's budget and allow its return to PREC-C.

1611
02:40:04,180 --> 02:40:10,580
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: With your support, we can complete ongoing projects, maximize every peso entrusted to us,

1612
02:40:10,800 --> 02:40:14,920
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: and deliver reliable irrigation services to more Filipino farmers.

1613
02:40:15,420 --> 02:40:18,640
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Maraming salamat po, Madam Chair and Honorable Members of Congress.

1614
02:40:28,380 --> 02:40:33,360
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Singit daw, baka daw po, kasi paparating po ang Super El Nino,

1615
02:40:33,800 --> 02:40:37,080
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: baka daw po, pwede nyo kaming tulungan maitaas yung aming QRF.

1616
02:40:37,420 --> 02:40:41,300
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Kasi for this year, 300 million lamang po ang QRF ng NIA.

1617
02:40:41,820 --> 02:40:45,940
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Eh, palagay ko po, hinding-hindi po ito makakasapat, Madam Chair.

1618
02:40:46,040 --> 02:40:47,980
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Baka pwede nyo po kaming tulungan. Thank you po.

1619
02:40:48,360 --> 02:41:06,180
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Well, again, kanina po, Madam Chair, for ano lang, para hindi lang naman po NIA ang nagsasabi,

1620
02:41:06,180 --> 02:41:13,060
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: kung ano po yung advantage ng PREC-C form na sinasabi natin.

1621
02:41:13,520 --> 02:41:19,440
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Nandito po naman po ang DBM. Baka pwede rin po nating ma-request po?

1622
02:41:32,000 --> 02:41:38,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Siguro po, Admin, I've heard the discussion that happened at length with regard to modification.

1623
02:41:39,460 --> 02:41:39,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes.

1624
02:41:39,940 --> 02:41:45,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Siguro po, I don't want to put DBM on the spot to talk about that.

1625
02:41:45,840 --> 02:41:47,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Siguro po, para lang po.

1626
02:41:48,080 --> 02:41:53,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Enlighten po yung ating mga kasama at yung ating mga kababayan.

1627
02:41:53,720 --> 02:42:03,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ano po ba yung mga naging implikasyon noong special provision with regard to the modification of projects as listed under the budget of NIA?

1628
02:42:06,130 --> 02:42:13,990
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Ma'am, for example, ito na lang po ang BUR namin. Substantially po talaga na bumagal yung aming implementation.

1629
02:42:13,990 --> 02:42:14,510
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Ano po?

1630
02:42:14,510 --> 02:42:34,650
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: So, marami po kasi kaming implementable din na projects na pwede sana nating i-go in kung nakaka-encounter po kami ng problema dito po sa mga previously identified projects natin.

1631
02:42:34,650 --> 02:42:42,730
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: So, baka pwede nyo po kami matulungan. Again, doon sa ating dating form ng budget ng NIA, yung PREC-C form.

1632
02:42:43,190 --> 02:42:43,650
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Kasi ma...

1633
02:42:44,510 --> 02:42:48,650
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Talaga po nakapabagal sa aming accomplishment, ma'am Chair.

1634
02:42:49,730 --> 02:42:52,710
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Siguro, Admin, those are two different things po, di ba?

1635
02:42:52,910 --> 02:42:57,430
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's the PREC-C form, there's also the special provision on modifications.

1636
02:42:58,410 --> 02:43:08,370
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ito po kasing special provision on modifications, panibago po siyang dagdag na una pong inilagay doon po sa 2026 GAA.

1637
02:43:08,370 --> 02:43:14,370
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yun po siguro, Admin, you mentioned several times that there were challenges.

1638
02:43:14,510 --> 02:43:22,110
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There were challenges in terms of implementation because of the modification, the stringent conditions that were indicated for modification.

1639
02:43:22,350 --> 02:43:27,790
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yun po siguro, yung gusto po naming maintindihan kasi yun po yung tinatalakay kanina.

1640
02:43:27,790 --> 02:43:43,790
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yun na po. I know in the GAA, there are very specific conditions, just specific to NIA projects that were indicated in the GAA as the conditions that would...

1641
02:43:44,510 --> 02:43:45,890
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: allow for modification.

1642
02:43:46,330 --> 02:43:49,910
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, very, very specific din po yun and very, very highly technical.

1643
02:43:50,330 --> 02:44:02,410
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, nagkaroon po ba ng epekto sa implementation ninyo, yung pong special provision na yun, or okay lang po ba na i-carry over po natin yun sa 2027 GAA?

1644
02:44:03,150 --> 02:44:11,890
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Actually, Madam Chair, yan po yung nire-request natin na sana po huwag lang ganong kahigpit yung special provisions na binibigay po sa ating budget.

1645
02:44:12,390 --> 02:44:13,830
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: May magpo-propose po kami.

1646
02:44:14,510 --> 02:44:15,570
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: May magpo-propose po kami ng letter po sa inyo.

1647
02:44:15,650 --> 02:44:23,250
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Isasubmit po namin yung inyo pong amin pong formal na request para humas specific po yung ating pinag-uusapan.

1648
02:44:25,110 --> 02:44:26,610
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Isasubmit po namin po asap.

1649
02:44:27,070 --> 02:44:38,450
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: But sana hindi na po ganon because pagka yung mga appropriations po talaga ay tied to specific line items po, hindi po siya readily na may direct.

1650
02:44:38,710 --> 02:44:40,930
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Ngayon po, kailangan natin gumalaw po ng mabilis.

1651
02:44:40,930 --> 02:44:42,930
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: I-explain ko nga po sa...

1652
02:44:44,510 --> 02:44:49,810
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Honorable Members of Congress kanina na very unique din po ang implementation kasi ng niya ng mga projects.

1653
02:44:50,290 --> 02:45:00,000
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Dahil hindi po kagaya po ng ibang agencies na the whole year pwede kang magtrabaho sa amin po kasi kailangan po pag may tubig, may patubig kami, hindi po kami makaka...

1654
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:00,900
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: kapag trabaho. So,

1655
02:45:01,400 --> 02:45:03,760
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: lalo pong bumabagal again

1656
02:45:03,760 --> 02:45:06,000
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: yung ating implementation. So, sana po

1657
02:45:06,000 --> 02:45:07,960
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: hindi na ganun ka-restrict yung

1658
02:45:07,960 --> 02:45:09,680
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: modification. Kung pwede nga ho, sana

1659
02:45:09,680 --> 02:45:11,720
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: may

1660
02:45:11,720 --> 02:45:14,040
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: ipopropose po kami. Similar to

1661
02:45:14,040 --> 02:45:15,820
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: hindi po para

1662
02:45:15,820 --> 02:45:17,920
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: mawala yung

1663
02:45:17,920 --> 02:45:20,220
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: strict compliance

1664
02:45:20,220 --> 02:45:22,040
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: natin sa paggamit po ng pondo

1665
02:45:22,040 --> 02:45:23,980
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: kundi para lang po mapapabilis

1666
02:45:23,980 --> 02:45:25,160
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: yung ating

1667
02:45:25,160 --> 02:45:26,280
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: sistema.

1668
02:45:27,440 --> 02:45:29,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Admit, ano po, while

1669
02:45:29,420 --> 02:45:31,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we recognize on the part of Congress

1670
02:45:31,920 --> 02:45:34,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that there may have been

1671
02:45:34,100 --> 02:45:35,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: certain conditions

1672
02:45:35,360 --> 02:45:38,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the special provision that may have

1673
02:45:38,120 --> 02:45:39,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: posed a challenge in the

1674
02:45:39,980 --> 02:45:41,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: implementation, we also have to strike a

1675
02:45:41,980 --> 02:45:43,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: balance po between

1676
02:45:43,000 --> 02:45:46,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: making sure that the projects are

1677
02:45:46,140 --> 02:45:48,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: validated.

1678
02:45:49,460 --> 02:45:50,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We have

1679
02:45:50,120 --> 02:45:52,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to remain accountable. So, hindi naman

1680
02:45:52,100 --> 02:45:53,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po natin pwedeng tanggalin yung

1681
02:45:53,780 --> 02:45:56,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ating safeguards. So, siguro po

1682
02:45:56,220 --> 02:45:58,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ang request po namin, Admin, when you

1683
02:45:58,060 --> 02:46:00,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: formulate your

1684
02:46:00,020 --> 02:46:02,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: proposed terminology

1685
02:46:02,500 --> 02:46:03,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for that special provision,

1686
02:46:04,400 --> 02:46:07,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: balangkasin lang po natin. Balansihin

1687
02:46:07,100 --> 02:46:08,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: natin. Kailangan po,

1688
02:46:09,060 --> 02:46:10,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nandun pa rin naman po yung safeguards

1689
02:46:10,620 --> 02:46:12,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: natin para masigurado na talagang

1690
02:46:12,540 --> 02:46:14,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung mga projects na

1691
02:46:14,120 --> 02:46:16,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kasi po hindi natin pwedeng gawing blanket

1692
02:46:16,640 --> 02:46:18,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: lang yung modification eh. Kailangan

1693
02:46:18,620 --> 02:46:19,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po meron pa rin talaga

1694
02:46:19,900 --> 02:46:22,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: you have to have safeguards

1695
02:46:22,420 --> 02:46:24,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po sigurado na yung project na

1696
02:46:24,460 --> 02:46:26,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pinondohan, yun pa rin yun.

1697
02:46:26,860 --> 02:46:28,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Diba? Siguro po,

1698
02:46:28,020 --> 02:46:29,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: magkakaroon ng konting

1699
02:46:29,180 --> 02:46:31,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: modification pagdating po sa

1700
02:46:31,260 --> 02:46:34,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: haba, sa lapad,

1701
02:46:34,520 --> 02:46:35,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung mga ganun po. Pero

1702
02:46:35,560 --> 02:46:37,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: dapat kasi faithful pa rin doon

1703
02:46:37,840 --> 02:46:40,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sa laman nung mismong nilalaman

1704
02:46:40,200 --> 02:46:41,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nung gaas. So, siguro yun lang po,

1705
02:46:42,020 --> 02:46:43,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Admin. I recognize

1706
02:46:43,660 --> 02:46:46,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that the conditions

1707
02:46:46,180 --> 02:46:47,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: may have posed some challenges

1708
02:46:47,800 --> 02:46:49,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pero when you formulate it po,

1709
02:46:49,740 --> 02:46:51,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: balansihin lang po natin.

1710
02:46:51,780 --> 02:46:53,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Para po, kami din po sa

1711
02:46:53,700 --> 02:46:55,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: party ng Kongreso, matignan

1712
02:46:55,940 --> 02:46:56,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: din namin para

1713
02:46:56,860 --> 02:46:58,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kung ano man po yung

1714
02:46:58,820 --> 02:47:01,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pinal na version nung special provision natin,

1715
02:47:01,160 --> 02:47:01,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: balansi pa rin.

1716
02:47:02,480 --> 02:47:04,080
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Yes po, Madam Chair. Tama po kayo.

1717
02:47:04,300 --> 02:47:07,020
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Again, our objective po is not to reduce

1718
02:47:07,020 --> 02:47:08,660
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: our accountability.

1719
02:47:09,420 --> 02:47:11,060
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: Our objective naman po is to ensure

1720
02:47:11,060 --> 02:47:13,280
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: that the appropriated funds

1721
02:47:13,280 --> 02:47:15,340
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: are implemented efficiently lang po

1722
02:47:15,340 --> 02:47:17,480
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: and on time. Following, of course,

1723
02:47:17,860 --> 02:47:19,040
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: the strict policy of Congress

1724
02:47:19,040 --> 02:47:20,340
NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: and the DBM.

1725
02:47:20,700 --> 02:47:22,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you. Thank you po, Admin.

1726
02:47:22,900 --> 02:47:24,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Again, we support

1727
02:47:24,400 --> 02:47:26,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the same that,

1728
02:47:26,860 --> 02:47:28,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kiko said earlier, and si Admin

1729
02:47:28,700 --> 02:47:30,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: gilyan, dalawa po,

1730
02:47:30,780 --> 02:47:32,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: talaga pong napakalaki po ng papel

1731
02:47:32,840 --> 02:47:35,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na gagampanan ng irigasyon,

1732
02:47:35,600 --> 02:47:37,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: patubig doon po

1733
02:47:37,000 --> 02:47:39,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sa ating pagtugon sa El Nino.

1734
02:47:39,300 --> 02:47:41,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, sa Kiko,

1735
02:47:41,140 --> 02:47:42,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: earlier mentioned about the

1736
02:47:42,640 --> 02:47:44,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: solar pumps,

1737
02:47:44,600 --> 02:47:46,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: solar irrigation on the part of DA.

1738
02:47:47,100 --> 02:47:48,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's also a separate program

1739
02:47:48,900 --> 02:47:50,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for NIA, also for

1740
02:47:50,800 --> 02:47:52,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: solar irrigation. So,

1741
02:47:53,120 --> 02:47:54,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: tututukan po namin yan.

1742
02:47:54,920 --> 02:47:56,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sisiguraduhin po natin na merong

1743
02:47:56,580 --> 02:47:58,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sapat na pondo because

1744
02:47:58,200 --> 02:47:59,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at the end of the day, we have

1745
02:47:59,840 --> 02:48:02,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: like the big dams,

1746
02:48:02,620 --> 02:48:04,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we have big water sources,

1747
02:48:04,860 --> 02:48:06,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pero nakita mo po natin may mga

1748
02:48:06,760 --> 02:48:08,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pagkakataon na bumababa na

1749
02:48:08,400 --> 02:48:10,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung water level. Sabi po sa

1750
02:48:10,440 --> 02:48:12,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pantabangan, ang daming pagkakataon na hindi

1751
02:48:12,600 --> 02:48:14,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: dumadalo yung tubig dahil walang

1752
02:48:14,640 --> 02:48:16,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sapat na tubig sa pantabangan. So,

1753
02:48:16,700 --> 02:48:18,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we still need to have the

1754
02:48:18,640 --> 02:48:20,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: backup po of solar pumps.

1755
02:48:20,880 --> 02:48:22,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, we'll take a look at that po.

1756
02:48:23,020 --> 02:48:24,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And yun lang po, Admin, same thing

1757
02:48:24,860 --> 02:48:26,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po that I said to Kiko,

1758
02:48:26,580 --> 02:48:28,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: may we request po the NIA family

1759
02:48:28,580 --> 02:48:30,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Admin Galeano, please send us

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of items for consideration of the

1762

1766
02:48:42,520 --> 02:48:44,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: will convene the BARC po in a week

1767
