83
00:09:55,279 --> 00:10:01,200
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: to sustaining PCSO's capacity to fund its various health and charitable programs.

87
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:27,040

92
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,040
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: For our operational

93
00:10:51,040 --> 00:11:00,240
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: highlights from 2024 to 2026. First, the Medical Assistance Program remains one of PCSO's most

94
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:06,160
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: significant and direct expressions of its mandate to provide meaningful medical assistance to

95
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:15,920
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: Filipinos in need. From 2024 to the first semester of 2026, PCSO provided 8.13 billion in assistance

96
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:29,600
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: to 681,999 beneficiaries. In 2024, PCSO assisted 326,482 beneficiaries with 3.24 billion.

97
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:41,839
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: In 2025, despite a 28% decline in beneficiaries to 236,217, assistance slightly increased to 3.25

98
00:11:41,839 --> 00:11:49,360
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: billion. This translates to a substantial increase in average assistance per beneficiary, reflecting

99
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,920
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: PCSO's focus on greater efficacy and efficiency.

100
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,160
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: The focus is not merely on the number of beneficiaries served, but

101
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:04,480
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: on maximizing the impact of every peso allocated to medical assistance.

102
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:14,240
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: This is particularly significant given PCSO's continuing contribution to government's health agenda, including its increased remittance to

103
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,120
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: the universal

104
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,320
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: health care program. Despite this higher

105
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:26,000
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: financial obligation to broader national health system, PCSO continues to provide substantial

106
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:34,000
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: direct assistance to patients and their families. Moreover, pursuant to the expressed desire

107
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,000
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: of the members of the House Committee on Appropriations,

108
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:45,920
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: PCSO has expanded its financial assistance to include professional fees for qualified patients.

109
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:57,279
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: This makes the assistance more comprehensive, responsive, and patient-centered, helping families meet the full cost of necessary medical care.

110
00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:14,800
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: Next, the Institutional Partnership Program shows a positive trend, with beneficiaries doubling from 19 in 2024 to 38 in 2025, accompanied by an increase in assistance from 12 million to 24.6 million.

PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: By the first semester of 2026, another 19 beneficiaries had already been assisted.

112

PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: Beneficiaries increased from 431 in 2024 to 1,090 in 2025, while assistance increased from 913.7 million to 2.48 billion.

114
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,079
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: This reflects

115
00:13:44,079 --> 00:13:52,160
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: PCSO's intensified efforts to bring emergency and medical transport services closer to communities.

PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: As of July 31, 2026, PCSO has distributed 154 PTVs to complete the 100% distribution of PTVs in provinces, cities, and municipalities.

117
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:19,440
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: The Medical Equipment Donation Program, on the other hand, shows increased assistance funding from 20.5 million in 2024 to 22 million in 2025 and

118
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:31,440

121
00:14:55,519 --> 00:15:01,600
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: For the financial highlights for 2024 to the first semester of 2026,

122
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:10,399
PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: PCSO's total revenues from its major games increased by 4.02 percent from 62.35 billion

250
00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:41,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: excluding the response of the resource person. And when you hear the bell sound, it means

251
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:50,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: you only have 30 seconds to wind up with your questions. As part of a long-standing and

252
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: respected tradition of the House of Representatives to

253
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,640

00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you. Thank you for correcting me, Representative Montes.

259
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:40,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So following our time-honored tradition, I now recognize Congresswoman Montes.

260
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

261
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:55,360
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: My question is about UHC. RA11223, or the Universal Health Care Act, was enacted on Feb 20, 2019.

262
00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:05,617
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And one of the provisions said that one year following its enactment,

263
00:33:05,617 --> 00:33:09,341
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: PCSO must remit the provision that 40% of the total health care costs

264
00:33:09,341 --> 00:33:11,919
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: should be allocated to the public health care system.

265
00:33:11,919 --> 00:33:19,760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And 40% of its net charity fund be given to the PhilHealth, for UHC.

266
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:27,120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: My question is, when did PCSO start remitting to the Bureau of Treasury?

267
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:36,320
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: What year did it start?

268
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:46,000
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: Our remittances to the PhilHealth at National Treasury or the UHC started way back in 2022.

269
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Is my figure correct?

270
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:59,600
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So you started in 2022 with 2.71 billion, 2023, 2 billion, 2024, 2.13, 2025, 2.87, and two quarters.

271
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:05,200
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Our first half of 2026, 194, based on the presentation, because it's 25 and 26.

272
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,799
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Is that correct?

273
00:34:06,799 --> 00:34:11,760
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: Yes. Yes, Your Honor.

274
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,599
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: My question is, were these remittances made on time?

275
00:34:15,599 --> 00:34:17,679
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Meaning, as per the provision of...

276
00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:22,159
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: As per the law, it has to be quarterly, the remittance.

277
00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:25,359
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: Yes, we are doing it on time, quarterly.

278
00:34:25,359 --> 00:34:31,040
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: And for the last time, our GM even personally delivered it to the National Treasury.

279
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: There were never an instance that it was delayed, Mr. Chair?

280
00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:37,200
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: None that we remember, Your Honor.

281
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Okay.

282
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:48,240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: From what I understand, on July 16, you turned over, among other contributions of people,

283
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:57,600
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: PCSO to the National Government, you turned over to the Bureau of Treasury.

284
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:12,079
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: The 1.935 billion that you turned over covers mandatory contributions from 4th quarter 2025 through 1st quarter and 2nd quarter 2026.

285
00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:26,240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, is it correct that you should remit the January 4th quarter?

286
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:27,440
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: Yes, Your Honor.

287
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,200
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: That's why I asked if there were instances that were delayed.

288
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,040
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Because we have a problem.

289
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: I don't think...

290
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,040
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: You are remitting on your part to the National Treasury.

291
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,480
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: Yes, Your Honor.

292
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: But it will not be given to PhilHealth on time.

293
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:52,800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: I have yet to find out from the DBM and the DOF if it's timely.

294
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:58,720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Because from the last time I took the floor during the budget hearing last year,

295
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:05,440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: since the loss enactment, from your share and from Pagkor's share,

296
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,640
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: nothing has been given to PhilHealth.

297
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:16,480
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: That's why I'm trying to consolidate all data coming from the funding streams of PhilHealth

298
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: to find out later on what the problem is.

299
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,920
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: If the remittance...

300
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Will you be able to give the remittance to PhilHealth?

301
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,480
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Because as of last year, last time,

302
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:35,520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: none of your remittance, even five, has been given to PhilHealth.

303
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,040
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: But I understand that you are remitting to the Bureau of Treasury.

304
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,079
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: Yes, Your Honor.

305
00:36:40,079 --> 00:36:44,080
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Okay.

306
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,320
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maybe that's all for now.

307
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:52,720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Mr. Chair, may I just request the PCSO to officially submit to this committee

308
00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:53,839
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: their remittance to...

309
00:36:53,839 --> 00:36:59,760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: to the Bureau of Treasury regarding the 40% net charity fund share to PhilHealth

310
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:05,280
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: as provided for in RA 11223.

311
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:13,839
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So that later on, I can study the data that I will send to the DOF or the DBM.

312
00:37:13,839 --> 00:37:19,040
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: If you can please submit it at the soonest possible time, I will highly appreciate it.

313
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,320
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: Yes, Mr. Chairman, Your Honor, we will do that.

314
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,079
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, maybe that's all.

315
00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:26,000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: That would be all, Mr. Chair, for now.

316
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,599

00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:37,839
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And as requested, we request the PCSO to comply, submit to the committee

320
00:37:37,839 --> 00:37:41,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: so we can furnish the copy to Congresswoman Montes.

321
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:42,240
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: Yes, Mr. Chairman.

322
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:43,280
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Chair.

00:37:54,844 --> 00:37:57,914
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: Good afternoon to our colleagues and the PCSO family.

329
00:37:59,999 --> 00:38:06,710
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: Mr. Chair, isang question lang bilang chairman po ng Youth and Sports Committee.

330
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,800
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: The Supreme Court, Guiao v. PAGCOR and PCSO,

331
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:18,860
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: GR No. 223845-2024,

332
00:38:18,860 --> 00:38:23,680
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: ordered the PCSO to remit to the Philippine Sports Commission

333
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:24,860
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: the 30% charity fund,

334
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:30,200
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: proceeds of six draws per year, including lotto,

335
00:38:30,740 --> 00:38:33,860
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: for the years 2006 to present.

336
00:38:36,220 --> 00:38:43,780
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: PCSO's own 2025 record shows it remitted only just 1.5 million

337
00:38:43,780 --> 00:38:46,740
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: to the Sports Commission for the entire year.

338
00:38:48,180 --> 00:38:54,740
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: 1.5 cannot possibly be the 30% of the charity fund of six draws.

339
00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:05,380
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: 6/55 draws alone generate hundreds of millions. So, for the record, has PCSO fully complied, or is

340
00:39:05,380 --> 00:39:15,040
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: this 1.5 million payment [unclear]? What is the total accumulated amount owed since 2006?

00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:35,198
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, again, being the Deputy Minority Leader, during the plenary budget, I will not ask questions in the plenary.

503
00:54:35,359 --> 00:54:38,480
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kasi we will support you 100% on behalf of the minority.

504
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:39,839
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

505
00:54:39,839 --> 00:54:44,559

506
00:54:44,559 --> 00:54:52,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Next, ang ating colleague, Representative Queenie Gonzales.

507
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,559
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

508
00:54:54,559 --> 00:54:57,760
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: This is just a quick manifestation lang po.

509
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,920
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Of course, ang PCSO nasa Mandaluyong po sa aking distrito.

510
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:06,960
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: And we are very, very thankful for the numerous support they have given.

511
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:11,040
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: They always give the Mandalenos po.

512
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:12,974
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: You mentioned lang po GM.

513
00:55:12,974 --> 00:55:14,800
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Kasi di ba yung sa...

514
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,040
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Patient Transport Vehicles.

515
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,440
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: It's a blend of first-come, first-served po.

516
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:23,839
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: And yung willingness ng LGU.

517
00:55:23,839 --> 00:55:29,927
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Yung kumbaga very dense yung mga population doon sa city.

518
00:55:29,927 --> 00:55:33,283
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Siyempre, kailangan po yun sa Mandaluyong marami ho talagang tao.

519
00:55:33,283 --> 00:55:35,982
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: So, siguro po, very parokya lang naman po.

520
00:55:35,982 --> 00:55:42,510
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Yung amin po kasing mga ambulances, siguro kahit marami, pero 2017 pa po yun.

521
00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:44,720
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: That na nabigay sa amin.

522
00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:46,540
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: And 2022 pa ho.

523
00:55:46,540 --> 00:55:51,940
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: So, kung meron po, siguro kung meron po kayong mga up-and-coming,

524
00:55:51,940 --> 00:55:57,470
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: huwag niyo ho sanang kalimutan kung nasa ang distrito po, kung nasaan ho kayo nandoon doon.

525
00:55:57,470 --> 00:55:59,920
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Yun lang po. Maraming salamat po.

526
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:07,920
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: Mr. Chair, plano rin po namin, in as much as the ambulances po,

527
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,160
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: ay medic... it's an emergency vehicle.

528
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,440
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: Pag emergency po, hindi ho pwedeng magka-downtime yan.

529
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:14,400
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: So, wow.

530
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:20,381
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: One of our next aspiration is to provide the second round sa mga ambulansya po

531
00:56:20,381 --> 00:56:25,839
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: para pag may nagsiraan, meron pa pong backup.

532
00:56:25,839 --> 00:56:30,904
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: And para po sa immediate sa kagyat ng pangangailangan po ng mga taga-Mandaluyong,

533
00:56:30,904 --> 00:56:33,798
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: meron po kaming standby ambulance sa aming office.

534
00:56:33,798 --> 00:56:38,688
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: Kung kailangan-kailangan niyo po, call us po and we can provide you.

535
00:56:38,688 --> 00:56:41,071
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: Yun po. Meron ho kami niyan.

536
00:56:41,071 --> 00:56:44,511
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: Pag talagang kailangan-kailangan niyo, tawagan niyo lang.

537
00:56:44,511 --> 00:56:46,881
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Ang suwerte naman ng Mandaluyong City.

538
00:56:46,881 --> 00:56:49,200
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Sana all.

539
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:50,958
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Thank you, GM.

540
00:56:50,958 --> 00:56:53,395
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Pero pag meron pa po, please.

541
00:56:53,395 --> 00:57:00,976
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Kasi ang dami po talagang health center po sa amin ngayon na nagmamakaawa po na sira na rin po yung kanila.

542
00:57:00,976 --> 00:57:04,532
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: So, kung meron din po, nag-aagawan po kasi, GM.

543
00:57:04,532 --> 00:57:07,359
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: So, ayun lang po kung meron po.

544
00:57:07,359 --> 00:57:12,319
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: Mr. Chair, another thing na hindi pa rin na-avail sa amin ng mga taga-Mandaluyong

545
00:57:12,319 --> 00:57:14,794
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: is that we have an outpatient clinic.

546
00:57:14,794 --> 00:57:23,615
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: Kaya kahit po yung mga pasyente ninyo or anybody ito, kung kaya nyo po magpadala sa PCSO,

547
00:57:23,615 --> 00:57:26,963
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: doon po pati po gamot doon kapag available po sa amin.

548
00:57:26,963 --> 00:57:29,415
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: So, libring konsulta, may kasama pa pong gamot.

549
00:57:29,415 --> 00:57:32,791
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: At kung kailangan nga po ng ambulansya, we'll still provide.

550
00:57:32,791 --> 00:57:38,079
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: Neighbor po namin kayo, hindi nyo po ina-avail.

551
00:57:38,079 --> 00:57:38,663
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: GM?

552
00:57:38,663 --> 00:57:40,799
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: Ganon po ba?

553
00:57:40,799 --> 00:57:44,400
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: For that po, GM, I will also announce it.

554
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:51,347
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: In my Facebook, dahil marami pa po palang programa na maaaring marahil ay hindi po alam ng taga sa amin.

555
00:57:51,347 --> 00:57:53,138
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: So, maraming salamat po.

556
00:57:53,138 --> 00:57:56,319
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: And we fully support all the programs of PCSO.

557
00:57:56,319 --> 00:58:01,740
Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales: And again, thank you very much for all the countless support that you are doing in our district.

558
00:58:01,740 --> 00:58:03,839
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Maraming salamat din po, Chair.

559
00:58:03,839 --> 00:58:07,177
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, Congresswoman Queenie.

560
00:58:07,177 --> 00:58:16,257
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sa lahat ng sinabi ni GM Mel, para naingit yung mga ibang congressman dito,

561
00:58:16,257 --> 00:58:24,799
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sana all daw, at magkaroon din ng ganong services sa iba't ibang distrito.

562
00:58:24,799 --> 00:58:28,293
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, next, may we call on Congresswoman Ynares?

563
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:34,319
Rep. Rebecca Maria Alcantara Ynares: I don't have much to say, but I'd like to say thank you in advance.

564
00:58:34,319 --> 00:58:38,480
Rep. Rebecca Maria Alcantara Ynares: Kasi my district hasn't received any of this except for the charity, ba?

565
00:58:39,839 --> 00:58:47,839
Rep. Rebecca Maria Alcantara Ynares: But I would like to thank you for supporting and also helping our governor, our Rizal province,

566
00:58:47,839 --> 00:58:51,599
Rep. Rebecca Maria Alcantara Ynares: naman, we're very much supported by the PCSO.

567
00:58:51,599 --> 00:58:53,359
Rep. Rebecca Maria Alcantara Ynares: So, we're grateful for that.

568
00:58:53,359 --> 00:58:58,340
Rep. Rebecca Maria Alcantara Ynares: But specifically, my office, yeah, don't forget.

569
00:59:00,319 --> 00:59:09,170
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: Mr. Chair, for the record po, Rizal was the first province that achieved 100%

570
00:59:09,170 --> 00:59:14,650
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: nagkaroon po siya ng patient transport vehicles or ambulances po.

571
00:59:14,910 --> 00:59:17,200
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: Maybe before you came, baka ako dumating doon.

572
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:17,956
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: But don't worry.

573
00:59:17,956 --> 00:59:18,880
Rep. Rebecca Maria Alcantara Ynares: Magsa-second round po po.

574
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:27,040
Rep. Rebecca Maria Alcantara Ynares: I mean, before I took office, I saw and witnessed how supportive PCSO has been in the entire province,

575
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:28,000
Rep. Rebecca Maria Alcantara Ynares: not only in my district.

576
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,359
Rep. Rebecca Maria Alcantara Ynares: So, thank you for that.

577
00:59:31,359 --> 00:59:33,380
Rep. Rebecca Maria Alcantara Ynares: I appreciate that in our behalf.

578
00:59:35,599 --> 00:59:40,923
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay, maraming salamat, Congresswoman Mia Ynares.

579
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:46,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Session suspend for one minute.

580
01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:37,827
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Session is resumed. We are very fortunate this afternoon. Nakahabol po yung ating bising-bising chair.

581
01:40:38,465 --> 01:40:43,010
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: As you know, ngayong budget season, ang dami nangyayari all at the same time.

582
01:40:43,867 --> 01:40:50,922
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And nakahabol po ang ating chair of the Committee on Appropriations, Chair Mikaela Suansing.

583
01:40:51,341 --> 01:40:56,284
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And I would like to recognize her for this afternoon's hearing.

584
01:40:56,284 --> 01:41:00,230
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I think she has some questions for PCSO. So, Chair Mika?

585
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:10,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, SVC. I would like to thank Senior Vice Chair Abet Garcia.

586
01:41:11,500 --> 01:41:17,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nag-divide and conquer po kami buong araw because a lot of meetings are running concurrently.

587
01:41:17,560 --> 01:41:24,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, thank you so much, SVC, for managing the PCSO briefing very, very well.

588
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:27,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you po. I just have one question lang po before we end.

589
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:30,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: This is also the same thought process that I...

590
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:35,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: employed earlier when I was looking through the financials of PAGCOR.

591
01:41:36,420 --> 01:41:45,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kasi po, we are very grateful to PAGCOR and PCSO because you are our partners in, you know,

592
01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:47,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: contributing to nation-building in terms of the fund.

593
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:59,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yun po siguro yung titignan ko lang as to the trajectory or the trend on the contributions of PCSO on...

594
01:42:00,960 --> 01:42:03,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Special Laws, Taxes, and Dividends.

595
01:42:03,440 --> 01:42:10,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, looking through the slides po, from slide 9 to slide 13,

596
01:42:11,480 --> 01:42:19,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: you would see there po the sales from fiscal year 2023 to fiscal year projected fiscal year 2027.

597
01:42:20,420 --> 01:42:25,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We can see here po that year on year po, the total sales increase.

598
01:42:25,420 --> 01:42:30,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It increases. The trend is it increases every year from 2023 to 2027.

599
01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:54,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 60.4 billion in 2023, 61.3 in 2024, 63.8 in 2025, 65.9 in 2026, and 67.2 in 2027.

600
01:42:54,440 --> 01:42:59,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, tumataas po siya consistently from one year to another.

601
01:42:59,460 --> 01:43:00,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If you would...

602
01:43:00,960 --> 01:43:11,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If you would plot it against the grand totals for the taxes, dividends, and other remittances,

603
01:43:11,440 --> 01:43:19,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: which is in slide 17 po, you would see what you showed us po would be the grand total for taxes,

604
01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:24,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: dividends, and other remittances from 2023 to 2026.

605
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:29,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, you would see there po, it seems like it's roughly...

606
01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:34,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's roughly a year static at the 22 point...

607
01:43:34,260 --> 01:43:42,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Parang ang nangyari po, nag-plateau siya sa 22.9 billion rather than...

608
01:43:42,420 --> 01:43:44,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And then it went down year on year.

609
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:51,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, instead of [unclear] from one year to another, as is the trend for the sales.

610
01:43:51,460 --> 01:43:54,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Parang ang nangyari po, 2022...

611
01:43:55,260 --> 01:44:00,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry, 2023, 22.9 billion po siya.

612
01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:02,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It went down from there.

613
01:44:03,160 --> 01:44:15,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, 22.99 in 2023, 22.26 in 2024, 21.85 in 2025, and 11 in the first half of 2026.

614
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:22,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, I would assume po, we're looking at [unclear] billion also in 2026.

615
01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:25,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yun lang po siguro yung tanong ko.

616
01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:28,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I just wanted to plot the numbers.

617
01:44:28,140 --> 01:44:30,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But I just wanted to ask po,

618
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:36,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair, as to why the trajectory of...

619
01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:48,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The upward trajectory of the sales revenues from 2023 to 2027 is not consistent with the taxes, dividends, and other remittances na trajectory po.

620
01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:52,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because ideally, they should go up at the same time.

621
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:53,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yun lang po. Thank you po.

622
01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:55,600
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: Thank you, Madam Chair,

623
01:44:55,600 --> 01:44:57,200
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: and to address your concern,

624
01:44:57,200 --> 01:44:58,960
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: I would like to give the floor

625
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:00,720
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: to Ms. Joana of our Accounting

626
01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:03,030
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: and Budget Department.

627
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:04,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you. Thank you, Chair.

628
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:05,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Go ahead, ma'am.

629
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:07,120
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): Yes, po. Good afternoon, po.

630
01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:09,040
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): First, po, for the taxes,

631
01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:10,620
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): po, kasi, ma'am, if you

632
01:45:10,620 --> 01:45:12,581
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): will see the 2023 taxes from

633
01:45:12,581 --> 01:45:14,982
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): 17 to 16 billion,

634
01:45:15,322 --> 01:45:16,822
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): then to 17 billion,

635
01:45:16,822 --> 01:45:18,563
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): po, ulit. Mostly, po,

636
01:45:18,743 --> 01:45:20,683
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): ang naka-affect po dyan is

637
01:45:20,683 --> 01:45:22,324
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): yung the corporate income tax, po.

638
01:45:22,324 --> 01:45:24,584
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): So, di ba po, kapag maliit po yung

639
01:45:24,584 --> 01:45:26,285
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): net income natin, maliit din po yung

640
01:45:26,285 --> 01:45:28,425
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): corporate income tax. Same as

641
01:45:28,425 --> 01:45:30,626
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): affected din po ang dividends

642
01:45:30,626 --> 01:45:31,946
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): po natin dito.

643
01:45:32,827 --> 01:45:34,727
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): So, halos the same po sila.

644
01:45:35,092 --> 01:45:35,968
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): Then,

645
01:45:35,968 --> 01:45:38,728
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): for the other

646
01:45:38,728 --> 01:45:41,009
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): special contributions,

647
01:45:41,389 --> 01:45:42,109
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): po,

648
01:45:42,109 --> 01:45:44,530
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): naka-affect, actually, po,

649
01:45:44,530 --> 01:45:46,611
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): yung kay, sa UHC,

650
01:45:46,691 --> 01:45:47,991
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): wala naman po problema. Kasi,

651
01:45:48,671 --> 01:45:50,632
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): as sales goes

652
01:45:50,632 --> 01:45:52,112
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): up, yung sa DST is

653
01:45:52,112 --> 01:45:54,173
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): affected. So, ganun pa rin naman po yung

654
01:45:54,173 --> 01:45:56,713
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): magiging computation for the UHC.

655
01:45:57,254 --> 01:45:58,394
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): So, mostly lang po,

656
01:45:58,614 --> 01:46:00,495
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): ang naka-affect

657
01:46:00,495 --> 01:46:02,475
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): lang po dyan is yung taxes and dividends.

658
01:46:03,035 --> 01:46:04,496
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): So, the corporate income

659
01:46:04,496 --> 01:46:06,316
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): tax and yung final income tax,

660
01:46:06,376 --> 01:46:08,297
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): yung tax on winnings po, medyo hindi po

661
01:46:08,297 --> 01:46:10,097
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): din kasi po yun stable.

662
01:46:10,277 --> 01:46:11,618
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): Kasi, depende po yun doon sa

663
01:46:11,618 --> 01:46:14,298
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): tax on winnings po namin

664
01:46:14,298 --> 01:46:14,999
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): na more than

665
01:46:14,999 --> 01:46:18,520
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): 10,000

666
01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:19,840
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): na 20%.

667
01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:24,804
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, ma'am. Actually,

668
01:46:25,107 --> 01:46:26,150
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I noticed din po,

669
01:46:26,491 --> 01:46:28,805
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: under this column,

670
01:46:29,184 --> 01:46:30,379
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Republic Acts

671
01:46:30,379 --> 01:46:32,294
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and Executive Orders,

672
01:46:32,673 --> 01:46:34,342
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: medyo downward din po yung trajectory.

673
01:46:35,062 --> 01:46:36,769
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, that's also a big contributor

674
01:46:36,769 --> 01:46:38,021
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to the downtrend.

675
01:46:38,324 --> 01:46:40,239
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because in 2023, it's

676
01:46:40,239 --> 01:46:41,604
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 108, sorry,

677
01:46:41,775 --> 01:46:44,070
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 802 million, then

678
01:46:44,070 --> 01:46:45,871
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 680 in 2024,

679
01:46:46,459 --> 01:46:47,843
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: then 344 in

680
01:46:47,843 --> 01:46:49,645
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 2025, tapos

681
01:46:49,645 --> 01:46:51,617
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: tumaas po ulit in 2026.

682
01:46:51,768 --> 01:46:53,134
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, is there a reason why?

683
01:46:53,551 --> 01:46:55,011
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Are there particular laws

684
01:46:55,011 --> 01:46:57,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: or executive orders enacted around

685
01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:59,391
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: this time period that contributed

686
01:46:59,391 --> 01:47:01,458
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to that erratic

687
01:47:01,458 --> 01:47:02,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: trend in

688
01:47:02,900 --> 01:47:04,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: support to special laws?

689
01:47:07,120 --> 01:47:07,858
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): Yes po, ma'am.

690
01:47:07,958 --> 01:47:10,112
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): Actually, yung nakikita nyo po

691
01:47:10,112 --> 01:47:11,668
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): under mga Republic Acts

692
01:47:11,668 --> 01:47:13,064
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): and EOs,

693
01:47:13,563 --> 01:47:15,737
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): yan po yung sa Girl Scouts,

694
01:47:15,896 --> 01:47:17,572
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): Boy Scouts, which depends po

695
01:47:17,572 --> 01:47:18,689
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): sa sales po ng

696
01:47:18,689 --> 01:47:21,182
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): 60 po natin. So, yun po yung

697
01:47:21,182 --> 01:47:22,319
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): kaninang, ano,

698
01:47:23,256 --> 01:47:24,693
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): then mostly,

699
01:47:25,550 --> 01:47:27,266
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): actually, yun yun, Boy Scouts,

700
01:47:27,405 --> 01:47:30,198
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): and yung,

701
01:47:30,277 --> 01:47:31,554
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): ano po, isa rin po

702
01:47:31,554 --> 01:47:33,489
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): nakapag-contribute dyan is

703
01:47:33,489 --> 01:47:35,603
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): yung share po natin

704
01:47:35,603 --> 01:47:37,817
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): sa dangerous drugs

705
01:47:37,817 --> 01:47:39,353
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): din po, kasi depende po yun

706
01:47:39,353 --> 01:47:41,567
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): dun sa forfeited prizes po natin.

707
01:47:42,106 --> 01:47:43,921
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): So, kung maliit po

708
01:47:43,921 --> 01:47:45,676
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): yung forfeited prizes po natin,

709
01:47:45,756 --> 01:47:47,152
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): maliit din po yung magiging, ano,

710
01:47:47,331 --> 01:47:48,429
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): share po nung, ano,

711
01:47:48,927 --> 01:47:51,580
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): dangerous drugs po natin.

712
01:48:01,440 --> 01:48:02,512
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, just to understand,

713
01:48:02,553 --> 01:48:04,389
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ma'am, it seems like

714
01:48:04,389 --> 01:48:06,884
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: these trends are, the trend

715
01:48:06,884 --> 01:48:08,327
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is erratic given that

716
01:48:08,327 --> 01:48:09,564
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: these are

717
01:48:09,564 --> 01:48:12,348
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: contingent on

718
01:48:12,348 --> 01:48:14,698
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: factors na hindi siya

719
01:48:14,698 --> 01:48:16,987
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: constant year on year. So, is that the

720
01:48:16,987 --> 01:48:19,070
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: case for, that's a case for taxes,

721
01:48:19,379 --> 01:48:20,286
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that's a case for dividends,

722
01:48:20,988 --> 01:48:23,008
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that's a case for Republic Acts and

723
01:48:23,008 --> 01:48:25,648
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: executive orders. Yung UHC

724
01:48:25,648 --> 01:48:27,441
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: lang yung medyo constant kasi earmark

725
01:48:27,441 --> 01:48:28,864
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: talaga yan as per the law.

726
01:48:29,318 --> 01:48:31,586
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yun lang po. Kasi tinitignan

727
01:48:31,586 --> 01:48:33,359
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ko lang kasi ideally po,

728
01:48:33,483 --> 01:48:35,030
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as the sales increase,

729
01:48:35,628 --> 01:48:37,607
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the contributions also increase.

730
01:48:37,751 --> 01:48:39,669
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, it's not that big of a,

731
01:48:39,669 --> 01:48:41,937
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it's not that big of a discrepancy

732
01:48:41,937 --> 01:48:43,896
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: naman po. But, ideally po

733
01:48:43,896 --> 01:48:46,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kasi, medyo

734
01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:48,123
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: tumaas po kasi, roughly

735
01:48:48,123 --> 01:48:50,103
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 5 billion yung

736
01:48:50,103 --> 01:48:51,608
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: increase ng sales

737
01:48:51,608 --> 01:48:53,711
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from 2023 to

738
01:48:53,711 --> 01:48:56,309
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 2027, year on year.

739
01:48:56,928 --> 01:48:57,464
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So,

740
01:48:58,330 --> 01:49:00,619
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I was hoping na sana, ganun din

741
01:49:00,619 --> 01:49:02,309
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung increase in the

742
01:49:02,309 --> 01:49:03,938
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: contributions to

743
01:49:04,413 --> 01:49:06,805
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: government. But, now I understand

744
01:49:06,805 --> 01:49:08,475
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po. It's really because it's

745
01:49:08,475 --> 01:49:10,413
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: contingent on factors that are

746
01:49:10,413 --> 01:49:12,970
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: not within the control of PCSO.

747
01:49:13,217 --> 01:49:14,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But, again,

748
01:49:14,805 --> 01:49:16,991
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nevertheless, I would like to commend

749
01:49:16,991 --> 01:49:18,723
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: PCSO

750
01:49:18,723 --> 01:49:21,094
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for all the contributions

751
01:49:21,094 --> 01:49:23,321
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to national government

752
01:49:23,321 --> 01:49:25,115
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because the funds that

753
01:49:25,115 --> 01:49:26,661
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: you have been contributing as

754
01:49:26,661 --> 01:49:28,373
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: showcased here,

755
01:49:29,466 --> 01:49:31,239
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: roughly 112

756
01:49:31,239 --> 01:49:32,930
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion pesos

757
01:49:32,930 --> 01:49:35,219
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from 2021 to

758
01:49:35,219 --> 01:49:36,353
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 2026,

759
01:49:36,848 --> 01:49:39,095
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: really plays a huge role in funding

760
01:49:39,095 --> 01:49:41,343
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: priority government programs

761
01:49:41,343 --> 01:49:43,363
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and projects. So, I just wanted

762
01:49:43,363 --> 01:49:45,034
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po to scrutinize that,

763
01:49:45,178 --> 01:49:47,157
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the financials, because it's also

764
01:49:47,157 --> 01:49:49,384
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the type of scrutiny that I did

765
01:49:49,384 --> 01:49:49,962
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the financials of

766
01:49:49,962 --> 01:49:52,189
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: PAGCOR earlier today. So, you know po.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the hearing of

780
01:50:18,443 --> 01:50:20,619
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: PCSO should have

781
01:50:20,619 --> 01:50:21,985
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: been last Tuesday, but

782
01:50:21,985 --> 01:50:23,651
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: given the suspensions in light

783
01:50:23,651 --> 01:50:25,106
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of the inclement weather, we had to

784
01:50:25,106 --> 01:50:26,592
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: reschedule it to today. So, we'd like to

785
