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? asr-000171 00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:58.280 DA Undersecretary Constante J.

Palabrica: distribute half a million of ASF vaccine, and the efficacy is 85 to asr-000174 00:30:10.080 --> 00:30:21.530 DA Undersecretary Constante J.

Biron, M.D.: it's nice to hear that the success rate is is 80 percent but though that asr-000176 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 asr-000177 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 asr-000178 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 asr-000179 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 asr-000180 00:30:55.410 --> 00:30:59.330 Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Department of Agriculture insisted in using this asr-000181 00:30:59.330 --> 00:31:07.090 Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G.

Biron, M.D.: recommend the approval but as I said I gave you the benefit of the doubt that asr-000183 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 asr-000184 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 asr-000185 00:31:23.630 --> 00:31:28.610 Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: shows to attest that the vaccine is asr-000186 00:31:29.330 --> 00:31:35.090 Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G.

Well, we all believe in science, no? asr-000192 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. asr-000193 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, asr-000194 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 asr-000197 00:32:24.910 --> 00:32:31.630 Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G.

Biron, M.D.: you have a conclusive data we would be very happy in Congress to receive it to asr-000199 00:32:38.110 --> 00:32:40.510 Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G.

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 asr-000222 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. asr-000223 00:35:27.270 --> 00:35:34.390 DA Secretary Francisco P.

Tiu Laurel Jr.: basically mga greenhouses para ngayon magkaroon tayo ng shield sa mga heavy rains and floods asr-000237 00:36:56.270 --> 00:36:58.210 DA Secretary Francisco P.

Elago: Dahil nakikita po namin na kunti-kunti na po namamatay ang mga public market sa buong bansa. asr-000879 01:39:28.420 --> 01:39:30.680 Rep. Sarah Jane I.

Tiu Laurel Jr.: Mr. Chair, basically, all roads eventually lead to a market. asr-000888 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. asr-000889 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, asr-000890 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. asr-000891 01:40:47.420 --> 01:40:50.680 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: So talagang, patsi-patsi talagang nakikita. asr-000892 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. asr-000893 01:40:58.020 --> 01:41:00.540 DA Secretary Francisco P.

Tiu Laurel Jr.: Influence area, may poverty incidents na kinukonsider, number of farmers or fisherfolk beneficiaries, asr-000895 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. asr-000896 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 asr-000897 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. asr-000898 01:41:29.860 --> 01:41:30.460 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: But at least it will help. asr-000899 01:41:30.680 --> 01:41:32.340 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: It will help that particular community. asr-000900 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. asr-000901 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. asr-000902 01:41:40.240 --> 01:41:41.080 DA Secretary Francisco P.

Baronda: the Department? asr-001368 01:59:47.240 --> 01:59:49.240 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Mr. Chair, I'll give the initial asr-001369 01:59:49.240 --> 01:59:51.240 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: part asr-001370 01:59:51.240 --> 01:59:53.240 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: and then we'll ask asr-001371 01:59:53.240 --> 01:59:55.240 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: the SRA. asr-001372 01:59:55.240 --> 01:59:57.240 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Our reported area for RSSI asr-001373 01:59:57.240 --> 01:59:59.240 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: is affected as of asr-001374 01:59:59.240 --> 02:00:01.240 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: August 14. asr-001375 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. asr-001376 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. asr-001377 02:00:15.800 --> 02:00:19.580 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Kailangan na natin gumamit ng chemical fertilizer asr-001378 02:00:19.580 --> 02:00:23.040 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: dahil ang production of biocontrol agents is very slow. asr-001379 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 asr-001380 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 asr-001381 02:00:34.700 --> 02:00:38.360 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: which the DA will be funding also. asr-001382 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. asr-001383 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. asr-001384 02:00:49.420 --> 02:00:50.780 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes po, Mr. Chair. asr-001385 02:00:50.780 --> 02:00:54.840 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: We were asked to answer the questions per number. asr-001386 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. asr-001387 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, asr-001388 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. asr-001389 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. asr-001390 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, asr-001391 02:01:27.360 --> 02:01:29.840 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: not the 10,000 po mentioned. asr-001392 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? asr-001393 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 asr-001394 02:01:52.100 --> 02:02:01.040 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: as a first resort as producing the biocontrols takes time. asr-001395 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, asr-001396 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. asr-001397 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. asr-001398 02:02:27.060 --> 02:02:31.040 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So for the area of coverage, we already had... asr-001399 02:02:31.340 --> 02:02:37.500 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: distributed chemicals good for about 35,000 hectares. asr-001400 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 asr-001401 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. asr-001402 02:02:59.720 --> 02:03:01.540 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So you need probably two sprayings. asr-001403 02:03:01.880 --> 02:03:02.900 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So that's for number one. asr-001404 02:03:03.740 --> 02:03:05.800 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: For question number two po. asr-001405 02:03:05.800 --> 02:03:07.780 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Sir, for number one question, asr-001406 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? asr-001407 02:03:16.760 --> 02:03:17.000 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes. asr-001408 02:03:17.080 --> 02:03:18.120 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: By hectares, how many? asr-001409 02:03:18.120 --> 02:03:18.860 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes po. asr-001410 02:03:19.980 --> 02:03:24.820 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yung reported area po, Mr. Chair, is 134,000 hectares. asr-001411 02:03:25.220 --> 02:03:30.160 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yung verified area po is 67,443 hectares. asr-001412 02:03:32.180 --> 02:03:32.480 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Okay. asr-001413 02:03:37.140 --> 02:03:38.840 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Can you please answer number two? asr-001414 02:03:38.960 --> 02:03:43.630 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Okay. asr-001415 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? asr-001416 02:03:50.680 --> 02:03:51.100 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yun po, ma'am. asr-001417 02:03:51.760 --> 02:03:52.480 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes. asr-001418 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. asr-001419 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. asr-001420 02:04:14.480 --> 02:04:14.660 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Okay. asr-001421 02:04:15.320 --> 02:04:16.060 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: If applied. asr-001422 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. asr-001423 02:04:23.240 --> 02:04:27.040 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: The laboratory facilities of the SRA are limited. asr-001424 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 asr-001425 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. asr-001426 02:04:43.300 --> 02:04:45.080 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: We've been doing it successfully. asr-001427 02:04:45.080 --> 02:04:46.000 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: We've been doing it successfully in Region 10. asr-001428 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. asr-001429 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. asr-001430 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. asr-001431 02:05:12.000 --> 02:05:15.000 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: And it's a continuing process. asr-001432 02:05:15.080 --> 02:05:19.400 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So, we need the established laboratories to take place. asr-001433 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. asr-001434 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. asr-001435 02:05:30.160 --> 02:05:30.220 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes. asr-001436 02:05:30.700 --> 02:05:33.340 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So, that's moving forward in the future. asr-001437 02:05:33.880 --> 02:05:36.980 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: But the initial step actually taken was chemicals. asr-001438 02:05:37.220 --> 02:05:38.160 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: That's for number two. asr-001439 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? asr-001440 02:05:44.560 --> 02:05:44.860 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: 300 million? asr-001441 02:05:44.860 --> 02:05:48.640 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: The Secretary already earmarked 300 million. asr-001442 02:05:49.080 --> 02:05:53.760 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: That includes establishing laboratories to produce the agents. asr-001443 02:05:55.280 --> 02:05:56.000 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Okay. asr-001444 02:05:56.220 --> 02:06:08.920 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: For number three, for IBM? asr-001445 02:06:09.200 --> 02:06:09.320 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes. asr-001446 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, asr-001447 02:06:19.480 --> 02:06:21.480 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: the DA already released to... asr-001448 02:06:22.860 --> 02:06:26.860 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: will release to LGUs directly. asr-001449 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. asr-001450 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. asr-001451 02:06:41.580 --> 02:06:44.900 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So, how do you distribute 35 million for LGUs? asr-001452 02:06:46.220 --> 02:06:52.780 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: The distribution was based on their verified affected areas. asr-001453 02:06:52.780 --> 02:06:53.900 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes, ma'am. asr-001454 02:06:53.900 --> 02:06:55.780 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Can you please identify... asr-001455 02:06:56.900 --> 02:07:00.200 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Areas that are most affected? asr-001456 02:07:03.040 --> 02:07:03.680 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes. asr-001457 02:07:04.140 --> 02:07:07.160 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: 65 percent... asr-001458 02:07:07.160 --> 02:07:07.780 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: No, this... asr-001459 02:07:07.780 --> 02:07:10.980 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: The 35 million is for the Negros Island region only. asr-001460 02:07:11.660 --> 02:07:11.880 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: Yes. asr-001461 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, asr-001462 02:07:18.440 --> 02:07:21.900 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: but the infestation rate is a lot lower than Negros. asr-001463 02:07:22.700 --> 02:07:23.120 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Okay. asr-001464 02:07:23.120 --> 02:07:25.690 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Any other question? asr-001465 02:07:29.500 --> 02:07:30.380 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: So, for... asr-001466 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? asr-001467 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. asr-001468 02:07:47.760 --> 02:07:52.140 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: First response for Negros Occidental, Bukidnon... asr-001469 02:07:52.140 --> 02:07:54.000 SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona: As a whole na po, ma'am.

Azcona: Thank you, po. asr-001472 02:07:57.320 --> 02:07:58.020 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Mr. Chair? asr-001473 02:08:03.580 --> 02:08:05.080 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Mr. Chair, I think we will... asr-001474 02:08:05.080 --> 02:08:06.300 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: We will be waiting for chair. asr-001475 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. asr-001476 02:08:21.980 --> 02:08:22.740 Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Any second. asr-001477 02:08:28.160 --> 02:08:30.360 Rep. Jose "Bong" J.

Teves Jr.: Sekiko. asr-001545 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. asr-001546 02:33:23.860 --> 02:33:25.800 Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Kamusta na po yung implementation natin ng deepwater ports? asr-001549 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. asr-001550 02:33:40.800 --> 02:33:42.840 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Then, tuloy-tuloy na siguro construction nun. asr-001551 02:33:43.540 --> 02:33:44.380 Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Sek, you... asr-001552 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. asr-001553 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. asr-001554 02:33:55.460 --> 02:33:55.520 Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Thank you. asr-001557 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... asr-001558 02:34:06.080 --> 02:34:07.360 Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Sorry, 2027 NEP. asr-001559 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? asr-001560 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. asr-001561 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. asr-001562 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. asr-001563 02:34:34.300 --> 02:34:37.960 Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Bunsod po nung kaguluhan sa Middle East. asr-001564 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. asr-001565 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. asr-001566 02:34:53.740 --> 02:34:59.500 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: Madam Chair, 89.96 na ang disbursement natin dito. asr-001567 02:35:01.120 --> 02:35:05.940 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: An actual distribution is 57.67% na. asr-001568 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. asr-001569 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. asr-001570 02:35:23.740 --> 02:35:28.420 DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.: For 2027, since tatawid ang El Niño. Madam Chair. asr-001571 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. asr-001572 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. asr-001573 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. asr-001574 02:35:49.780 --> 02:35:52.780 Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Tapos, meron na rin po, sana naman po hindi... asr-001575 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. asr-001576 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, asr-001577 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? asr-001578 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. asr-001579 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... asr-001580 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. asr-001581 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 asr-001582 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. asr-001583 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. asr-001584 02:37:01.460 --> 02:37:02.140 Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Thank you, Sec. asr-001585 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... asr-001586 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. asr-001587 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. asr-001588 02:37:21.960 --> 02:37:22.960 Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Tapos yung pangatlo po, yung sa... asr-001589 02:37:23.740 --> 02:37:26.720 Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: Fisher Folk sa under BIFAR. asr-001590 02:37:27.140 --> 02:37:28.880 Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: So, Sir Sec, if we may... asr-001591 02:37:28.880 --> 02:37:34.000 Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: When you submit po the prioritization of the wish list, asr-001592 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, asr-001593 02:37:40.220 --> 02:37:42.600 Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.: we'll request for your help, Sec, to prioritize it. asr-001594 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, asr-001595 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... asr-001596 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 asr-001597 02:37:59.120 --> 02:38:03.340 Rep. Jose "Bong" J.

Guillen: As we conclude this hearing, we respectfully appeal for your support, of course, in increasing NIA's FY2027 budget po. asr-001604 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, asr-001605 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. asr-001606 02:38:51.440 --> 02:38:52.440 NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: With this... asr-001607 02:38:53.740 --> 02:38:57.000 NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: reduction, many critical irrigation projects may be delayed, asr-001608 02:38:57.560 --> 02:39:03.220 NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G.

Guillen: and deliver their long-awaited benefits to farmers. asr-001610 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 asr-001611 02:39:10.200 --> 02:39:14.460 NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G.

Guillen: So, we also respectfully request that NIA's budget be restored to a program-based PREC-C presentation. asr-001613 02:39:22.840 --> 02:39:31.480 NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G.

Guillen: while maintaining full transparency, accountability, and congressional oversight po. asr-001615 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, asr-001616 02:39:44.760 --> 02:39:47.520 NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: irrigation cannot be treated as an ordinary expense. asr-001617 02:39:47.520 --> 02:39:52.720 NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: It is a strategic investment in agricultural productivity, rural development, asr-001618 02:39:52.840 --> 02:39:55.220 NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G.

Suansing: Ito po kasing special provision on modifications, panibago po siyang dagdag na una pong inilagay doon po sa 2026 GAA. asr-001646 02:43:08.370 --> 02:43:14.370 Rep. Mikaela Angela B.

Suansing: There were challenges in terms of implementation because of the modification, the stringent conditions that were indicated for modification. asr-001648 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. asr-001649 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... asr-001650 02:43:44.510 --> 02:43:45.890 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: allow for modification. asr-001651 02:43:46.330 --> 02:43:49.910 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? asr-001653 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. asr-001654 02:44:12.390 --> 02:44:13.830 NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G.

Guillen: Ngayon po, kailangan natin gumalaw po ng mabilis. asr-001660 02:44:40.930 --> 02:44:42.930 NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: I-explain ko nga po sa... asr-001661 02:44:44.510 --> 02:44:49.810 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... asr-001663 02:45:00.000 --> 02:45:00.900 NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G.

Guillen: lalo pong bumabagal again asr-001665 02:45:03.760 --> 02:45:06.000 NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen: yung ating implementation.
