asr-000095
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

asr-000096
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

asr-000097
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

asr-000098
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.

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

asr-000100
00:11:41.839 --> 00:11:49.360

PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: PCSO's focus on greater efficacy and efficiency.

asr-000102
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

asr-000103
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.

asr-000104
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

asr-000106
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.320

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

asr-000108
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

asr-000109
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,

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.

asr-000111
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.

asr-000112
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.

asr-000114

asr-000116

PCSO Corporate Planning Department Manager Atty. Anna Liza P. Inciong: This reflects

asr-000117
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.

asr-000284
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:55.360

asr-000285
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,

asr-000286
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

asr-000287
00:33:09.341 --> 00:33:11.919
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: should be allocated to the public health care system.

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.

asr-000289
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?

asr-000290
00:33:27.120 --> 00:33:36.320
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: What year did it start?

asr-000291
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.

asr-000292
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:48.000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Is my figure correct?

asr-000293
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.

asr-000294
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.

asr-000295
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:06.799
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Is that correct?

asr-000296
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:11.760
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: Yes. Yes, Your Honor.

asr-000297
00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:15.599
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: My question is, were these remittances made on time?

asr-000298
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:17.679
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Meaning, as per the provision of...

asr-000299
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:22.159
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: As per the law, it has to be quarterly, the remittance.

asr-000300
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:25.359
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: Yes, we are doing it on time, quarterly.

asr-000301
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.

asr-000302
00:34:31.040 --> 00:34:34.720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: There were never an instance that it was delayed, Mr. Chair?

asr-000303
00:34:34.720 --> 00:34:37.200
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: None that we remember, Your Honor.

asr-000304
00:34:37.200 --> 00:34:39.520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Okay.

asr-000305
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,

asr-000306
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.

asr-000307
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.

asr-000308
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?

asr-000309
00:35:26.240 --> 00:35:27.440
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: Yes, Your Honor.

asr-000310
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.

asr-000311
00:35:31.200 --> 00:35:33.040
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Because we have a problem.

asr-000312
00:35:33.040 --> 00:35:36.800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: I don't think...

asr-000313
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:41.040
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: You are remitting on your part to the National Treasury.

asr-000314
00:35:41.040 --> 00:35:42.480
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: Yes, Your Honor.

asr-000315
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:46.240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: But it will not be given to PhilHealth on time.

asr-000316
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.

asr-000317
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,

asr-000318
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,

asr-000319
00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:08.640
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: nothing has been given to PhilHealth.

asr-000320
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

asr-000321
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:19.760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: to find out later on what the problem is.

asr-000322
00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:21.920
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: If the remittance...

asr-000323
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:25.440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Will you be able to give the remittance to PhilHealth?

asr-000324
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:28.480
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Because as of last year, last time,

asr-000325
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:35.520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: none of your remittance, even five, has been given to PhilHealth.

asr-000326
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.

asr-000327
00:36:39.040 --> 00:36:40.079
PCSO Chairperson Judge Felix P. Reyes: Yes, Your Honor.

asr-000328
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:44.080
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Okay.

asr-000329
00:36:44.080 --> 00:36:46.320
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maybe that's all for now.

asr-000330
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

asr-000331
00:36:52.720 --> 00:36:53.839
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: their remittance to...

asr-000332
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

asr-000333
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:05.280
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: as provided for in RA 11223.

asr-000334
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.

asr-000335
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.

asr-000337
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:24.079
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, maybe that's all.

asr-000338
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:26.000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: That would be all, Mr. Chair, for now.

asr-000339
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:27.599
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you so much.

asr-000354
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:12.800
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: The Supreme Court, Guiao v. PAGCOR and PCSO,

00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:18.860
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: GR No. 223845-2024,

asr-000356
00:38:18.860 --> 00:38:23.680

asr-000357
00:38:23.680 --> 00:38:24.860
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: the 30% charity fund,

asr-000358
00:38:25.600 --> 00:38:30.200
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: proceeds of six draws per year, including lotto,

asr-000359
00:38:30.740 --> 00:38:33.860

asr-000360
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

asr-000361
00:38:43.780 --> 00:38:46.740
Rep. Faustino Michael Carlos T. Dy III: to the Sports Commission for the entire year.

asr-000362
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.

asr-000364

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.

asr-000616
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.

asr-000617
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.

asr-000618
01:41:27.680 --> 01:41:30.680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: This is also the same thought process that I...

asr-000619
01:41:30.960 --> 01:41:35.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: employed earlier when I was looking through the financials of PAGCOR.

asr-000620
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,

asr-000621
01:41:45.160 --> 01:41:47.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: contributing to nation-building in terms of the fund.

asr-000622
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...

asr-000623
01:42:00.960 --> 01:42:03.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Special Laws, Taxes, and Dividends.

asr-000624
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,

asr-000625
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.

asr-000626
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.

asr-000627
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.

asr-000628
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.

asr-000629
01:42:54.440 --> 01:42:59.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, tumataas po siya consistently from one year to another.

asr-000630
01:42:59.460 --> 01:43:00.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If you would...

asr-000631
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,

asr-000632
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,

asr-000633
01:43:19.560 --> 01:43:24.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: dividends, and other remittances from 2023 to 2026.

asr-000634
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...

asr-000635
01:43:30.960 --> 01:43:34.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's roughly a year static at the 22 point...

asr-000636
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...

asr-000637
01:43:42.420 --> 01:43:44.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And then it went down year on year.

asr-000638
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.

asr-000639
01:43:51.460 --> 01:43:54.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Parang ang nangyari po, 2022...

asr-000640
01:43:55.260 --> 01:44:00.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry, 2023, 22.9 billion po siya.

asr-000643
01:44:00.960 --> 01:44:02.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It went down from there.

asr-000644
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.

asr-000645
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.

asr-000646
01:44:24.040 --> 01:44:25.520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yun lang po siguro yung tanong ko.

asr-000647
01:44:25.800 --> 01:44:28.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I just wanted to plot the numbers.

asr-000648
01:44:28.140 --> 01:44:30.680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But I just wanted to ask po,

asr-000649
01:44:30.960 --> 01:44:36.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair, as to why the trajectory of...

asr-000650
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.

asr-000651
01:44:48.640 --> 01:44:52.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because ideally, they should go up at the same time.

asr-000652
01:44:52.160 --> 01:44:53.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yun lang po. Thank you po.

asr-000653
01:44:53.920 --> 01:44:55.600
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: Thank you, Madam Chair,

asr-000654
01:44:55.600 --> 01:44:57.200
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: and to address your concern,

asr-000655
01:44:57.200 --> 01:44:58.960
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: I would like to give the floor

asr-000656
01:44:58.960 --> 01:45:00.720
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles: to Ms. Joana of our Accounting

asr-000664
01:45:15.322 --> 01:45:16.822
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): then to 17 billion,

asr-000665
01:45:16.822 --> 01:45:18.563
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): po, ulit. Mostly, po,

asr-000666
01:45:18.743 --> 01:45:20.683
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): ang naka-affect po dyan is

asr-000667
01:45:20.683 --> 01:45:22.324
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): yung the corporate income tax, po.

asr-000668
01:45:22.324 --> 01:45:24.584
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): So, di ba po, kapag maliit po yung

asr-000669
01:45:24.584 --> 01:45:26.285
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): net income natin, maliit din po yung

asr-000670
01:45:26.285 --> 01:45:28.425
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): corporate income tax. Same as

01:45:32.827 --> 01:45:34.727

asr-000674
01:45:35.092 --> 01:45:35.968
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): Then,

asr-000675
01:45:35.968 --> 01:45:38.728
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): for the other

asr-000676

PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): yung kay, sa UHC,

asr-000680
01:45:46.691 --> 01:45:47.991
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): wala naman po problema. Kasi,

asr-000681
01:45:48.671 --> 01:45:50.632
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): as sales goes

asr-000682

PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): magiging computation for the UHC.

asr-000685
01:45:57.254 --> 01:45:58.394
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): So, mostly lang po,

asr-000686
01:45:58.614 --> 01:46:00.495
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): ang naka-affect

asr-000687
01:46:00.495 --> 01:46:02.475
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): lang po dyan is yung taxes and dividends.

asr-000688
01:46:03.035 --> 01:46:04.496
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): So, the corporate income

asr-000689

01:46:06.376 --> 01:46:08.297
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): yung tax on winnings po, medyo hindi po

asr-000691
01:46:08.297 --> 01:46:10.097
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): din kasi po yun stable.

asr-000692
01:46:10.277 --> 01:46:11.618
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): Kasi, depende po yun doon sa

asr-000693
01:46:11.618 --> 01:46:14.298
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): tax on winnings po namin

asr-000694
01:46:14.298 --> 01:46:14.999

01:46:14.999 --> 01:46:18.520
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): 10,000

asr-000696
01:46:18.520 --> 01:46:19.840
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): na 20%.

asr-000697
01:46:21.760 --> 01:46:24.804
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, ma'am. Actually,

asr-000698
01:46:25.107 --> 01:46:26.150
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I noticed din po,

asr-000699
01:46:26.491 --> 01:46:28.805
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: under this column,

asr-000700
01:46:29.184 --> 01:46:30.379
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Republic Acts

asr-000701
01:46:30.379 --> 01:46:32.294
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and Executive Orders,

asr-000702
01:46:32.673 --> 01:46:34.342
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: medyo downward din po yung trajectory.

asr-000703
01:46:35.062 --> 01:46:36.769
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, that's also a big contributor

asr-000704
01:46:36.769 --> 01:46:38.021
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to the downtrend.

asr-000705
01:46:38.324 --> 01:46:40.239
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because in 2023, it's

asr-000706
01:46:40.239 --> 01:46:41.604
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 108, sorry,

asr-000707
01:46:41.775 --> 01:46:44.070
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 802 million, then

asr-000708
01:46:44.070 --> 01:46:45.871
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 680 in 2024,

asr-000709
01:46:46.459 --> 01:46:47.843

asr-000710
01:46:47.843 --> 01:46:49.645
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 2025, tapos

01:46:49.645 --> 01:46:51.617

asr-000712
01:46:51.768 --> 01:46:53.134
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, is there a reason why?

asr-000713
01:46:53.551 --> 01:46:55.011
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Are there particular laws

asr-000714
01:46:55.011 --> 01:46:57.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: or executive orders enacted around

asr-000715
01:46:57.400 --> 01:46:59.391
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: this time period that contributed

asr-000716
01:46:59.391 --> 01:47:01.458
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to that erratic

asr-000717
01:47:01.458 --> 01:47:02.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: trend in

asr-000718
01:47:02.900 --> 01:47:04.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: support to special laws?

asr-000719
01:47:07.120 --> 01:47:07.858
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): Yes po, ma'am.

asr-000720
01:47:07.958 --> 01:47:10.112
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): Actually, yung nakikita nyo po

asr-000721
01:47:10.112 --> 01:47:11.668
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): under mga Republic Acts

asr-000722

01:47:25.550 --> 01:47:27.266
PCSO Accounting and Budget Department representative (Joana): actually, yun yun, Boy Scouts,

asr-000730

01:48:01.440 --> 01:48:02.512

asr-000743
01:48:02.553 --> 01:48:04.389
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ma'am, it seems like

asr-000744
01:48:04.389 --> 01:48:06.884
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: these trends are, the trend

asr-000745
01:48:06.884 --> 01:48:08.327
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is erratic given that

asr-000746
01:48:08.327 --> 01:48:09.564
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: these are

asr-000747
01:48:09.564 --> 01:48:12.348
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: contingent on

asr-000748
01:48:12.348 --> 01:48:14.698
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: factors na hindi siya

asr-000749
01:48:14.698 --> 01:48:16.987
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: constant year on year. So, is that the

asr-000750
01:48:16.987 --> 01:48:19.070
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: case for, that's a case for taxes,

asr-000751
01:48:19.379 --> 01:48:20.286
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that's a case for dividends,

asr-000752
01:48:20.988 --> 01:48:23.008
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that's a case for Republic Acts and

asr-000753
01:48:23.008 --> 01:48:25.648
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: executive orders. Yung UHC

asr-000754
01:48:25.648 --> 01:48:27.441
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: lang yung medyo constant kasi earmark

asr-000755
01:48:27.441 --> 01:48:28.864
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: talaga yan as per the law.

asr-000756
01:48:29.318 --> 01:48:31.586
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yun lang po. Kasi tinitignan

asr-000757
01:48:31.586 --> 01:48:33.359
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ko lang kasi ideally po,

asr-000758
01:48:33.483 --> 01:48:35.030
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as the sales increase,

asr-000759
01:48:35.628 --> 01:48:37.607
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the contributions also increase.

asr-000760
01:48:37.751 --> 01:48:39.669
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, it's not that big of a,

asr-000761
01:48:39.669 --> 01:48:41.937
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it's not that big of a discrepancy

asr-000762
01:48:41.937 --> 01:48:43.896
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: naman po. But, ideally po

asr-000763
01:48:43.896 --> 01:48:46.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kasi, medyo

asr-000764
01:48:46.040 --> 01:48:48.123
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: tumaas po kasi, roughly

asr-000765
01:48:48.123 --> 01:48:50.103
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 5 billion yung

asr-000766
01:48:50.103 --> 01:48:51.608
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: increase ng sales

asr-000767
01:48:51.608 --> 01:48:53.711
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from 2023 to

asr-000768
01:48:53.711 --> 01:48:56.309
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 2027, year on year.

asr-000769
01:48:56.928 --> 01:48:57.464
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So,

asr-000770
01:48:58.330 --> 01:49:00.619
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I was hoping na sana, ganun din

asr-000771
01:49:00.619 --> 01:49:02.309
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung increase in the

asr-000772
01:49:02.309 --> 01:49:03.938
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: contributions to

asr-000773
01:49:04.413 --> 01:49:06.805
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: government. But, now I understand

asr-000774
01:49:06.805 --> 01:49:08.475
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po. It's really because it's

asr-000775
01:49:08.475 --> 01:49:10.413
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: contingent on factors that are

asr-000776
01:49:10.413 --> 01:49:12.970
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: not within the control of PCSO.

asr-000777
01:49:13.217 --> 01:49:14.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But, again,

asr-000778
01:49:14.805 --> 01:49:16.991
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nevertheless, I would like to commend

asr-000779
01:49:16.991 --> 01:49:18.723
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: PCSO

asr-000780
01:49:18.723 --> 01:49:21.094
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for all the contributions

asr-000781
01:49:21.094 --> 01:49:23.321
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to national government

asr-000782
01:49:23.321 --> 01:49:25.115
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because the funds that

asr-000783
01:49:25.115 --> 01:49:26.661
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: you have been contributing as

asr-000784
01:49:26.661 --> 01:49:28.373
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: showcased here,

asr-000785
01:49:29.466 --> 01:49:31.239
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: roughly 112

asr-000786
01:49:31.239 --> 01:49:32.930
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion pesos

asr-000787
01:49:32.930 --> 01:49:35.219
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from 2021 to

asr-000788
01:49:35.219 --> 01:49:36.353
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 2026,

asr-000789
01:49:36.848 --> 01:49:39.095
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: really plays a huge role in funding

asr-000790
01:49:39.095 --> 01:49:41.343
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: priority government programs

asr-000791
01:49:41.343 --> 01:49:43.363
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and projects. So, I just wanted

asr-000793

asr-000794
01:49:47.157 --> 01:49:49.384
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the type of scrutiny that I did

asr-000795
