00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:29,100

00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,080
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Plans, however,

94
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,080
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: are only seeds.

95
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,080
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: As Vice Chairperson for Appropriations,

96
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,080

101
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,080

00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,080
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: The responsibility before us

104
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,080

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: to ensure that every peso

106
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,080

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: do so again. But our

118
00:11:48,340 --> 00:11:50,140
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: job does not end when the

119
00:11:50,140 --> 00:11:52,160

120
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,000

121
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,960
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: built, the learners fed,

122
00:11:56,460 --> 00:11:58,100
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: the teachers who stayed, and

123
00:11:58,100 --> 00:11:59,940
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: the children who learned to read.

124
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:01,800
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Because a good son

125
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,680
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: is known by its harvest.

126
00:12:04,380 --> 00:12:06,400

193
00:14:23,420 --> 00:14:25,420
Presentation video: Dahil po sa bagong

197
00:14:31,420 --> 00:14:37,130

198
00:14:37,130 --> 00:14:39,130
Presentation video: ang school, mas natututuhan nila yung

200
00:14:41,130 --> 00:14:43,130
Presentation video: namin, nakikita nila using

201
00:14:43,130 --> 00:14:45,130

00:14:45,130 --> 00:14:47,130
Presentation video: sa totoong buhay.

203
00:14:47,130 --> 00:14:49,130
Presentation video: At kapag mas matibay ang simula,

204
00:14:49,130 --> 00:14:51,130
Presentation video: mas maraming pagkakataon ang

205
00:14:51,130 --> 00:14:53,130
Presentation video: nagbubukas.

206
00:14:53,130 --> 00:14:55,130
Presentation video: Mas maganda po yung new curriculum, lalo na po

207
00:14:55,130 --> 00:14:57,130
Presentation video: pagdating namin sa Grade 12,

208
00:14:57,130 --> 00:14:59,130
Presentation video: may tinatawag na doorway option (cross-track) na puwede

209
00:14:59,130 --> 00:15:00,960
Presentation video: kaming kumuha ng isang elective subject

210
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,020
Presentation video: kung gusto namin.

211
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,560
Presentation video: Maganda siya para sa akin kasi nakakatulong po ako sa pamilya ko.

212
00:15:05,780 --> 00:15:07,880
Presentation video: And I'm currently now a make-up artist po.

213
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,420
Presentation video: Pero walang batang umaabot doon nang mag-isa.

214
00:15:11,980 --> 00:15:15,900
Presentation video: Kailangan niya ng gurong may sapat na oras at suporta.

215
00:15:16,020 --> 00:15:19,320
Presentation video: Dati, full-load,

216
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:21,920
Presentation video: madaming gawain, dismissal na pero kailangan ko pa ring tapusin.

217
00:15:22,220 --> 00:15:24,180
Presentation video: Pero ngayon, naging mas magaan.

218
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,720
Presentation video: Mas naka-focus na ako sa aking mga tungkulin bilang guro sa mga bata.

219
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,980
Presentation video: Sa wakas po, mapapagaan po nito ang aming trabaho.

220
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,760
Presentation video: At makakapag-focus po kami sa pagtuturo namin.

221
00:15:38,020 --> 00:15:40,340
Presentation video: Siyempre, nandiyan yung number one bond paper,

222
00:15:40,620 --> 00:15:42,060
Presentation video: ink for printer namin.

223
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,940
Presentation video: Kahit paisa-isang bilihan mo,

224
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,240
Presentation video: pero kapag binilang mo at pinagsama-sama,

225
00:15:46,420 --> 00:15:48,100
Presentation video: marami rin siya at malaki talaga.

226
00:15:48,820 --> 00:15:51,600
Presentation video: We are grateful na nadagdagan yung teaching allowance namin

227
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,720
Presentation video: kasi malaking tulong para sa gayon,

228
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,020
Presentation video: mas maturuan at maibigay namin yung pangangailangan ng mga bata.

229
00:15:59,060 --> 00:16:02,360
Presentation video: At hindi lang trabaho ang kailangang gumaan.

230
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,760
Presentation video: Kailangan ding magkaroon ng pagkakataong umunlad ang guro.

231
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,500
Presentation video: Ngayon ay nakikita na rin namin ang aming landas

232
00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:13,400
Presentation video: para sa aming growth or pag-unlad,

233
00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:15,440
Presentation video: lalong-lalo na sa aming pagtanda.

234
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,960
Presentation video: There are times na nakakalimutan na rin namin yung sarili naming well-being,

235
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,540
Presentation video: sarili naming health.

236
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,040
Presentation video: With this medical allowance,

237
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,020
Presentation video: nagkaroon kami ng pakiramdam na the government is also looking

238
00:16:28,020 --> 00:16:30,100
Presentation video: at our physical well-being.

239
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,560
Presentation video: At sa paaralan,

240
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,860
Presentation video: ang pag-aalaga ay hindi nagtatapos sa pagtuturo.

241
00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:38,140
Presentation video: Sa hirap talaga ng buhay ngayon,

242
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,980
Presentation video: talagang masasabi kong napakalaking tulong

243
00:16:41,980 --> 00:16:44,960
Presentation video: para sa aming mga magulang yung feeding program na ito.

244
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:50,060
Presentation video: Minsan, may mga bagay na hindi mo kayang sabihin sa parents and friends mo,

245
00:16:50,060 --> 00:16:52,140
Presentation video: at nakakagaan po ng loob

246
00:16:52,140 --> 00:16:56,460
Presentation video: kapag may taong nakikinig at may concern sa iyo.

247
00:16:56,460 --> 00:16:57,720
Presentation video: Bilang magulang,

248
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,500
Presentation video: kampante kami dahil hindi lang natututukan

249
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:04,100
Presentation video: ang kanilang pag-aaral,

250
00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:06,100
Presentation video: kundi ang kanilang kaligtasan.

251
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,100
Presentation video: Kahit may sakuna,

252
00:17:08,660 --> 00:17:13,500
Presentation video: kaming mga guro at mga bata ay alam na po yung mga paghahanda at dapat gawin.

253
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,540
Presentation video: Sa katunayan, may mga safety measures na po kami, may mga materials po kami.

254
00:17:16,540 --> 00:17:18,040
Presentation video: At para magawa ito,

255
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,960
Presentation video: dapat maihatid ang mga pangangailangan ng bawat paaralan.

256
00:17:23,180 --> 00:17:24,640
Presentation video: Maganda yung epekto,

257
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,560
Presentation video: mabilis at maayos yung dating ng mga learning

258
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,560
Presentation video: materials sa school.

259
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,560
Presentation video: Kasi nagiging masaya yung mga estudyante,

260
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:36,030
Presentation video: yung mga teachers.

261
00:17:36,030 --> 00:17:38,030
Presentation video: Ang daming tumutulong sa ating paaralan,

262
00:17:38,030 --> 00:17:40,030
Presentation video: yung ating mga stakeholders na laging nandiyan

263
00:17:40,030 --> 00:17:42,030
Presentation video: para tumulong sa mga needs ng school.

264
00:17:42,030 --> 00:17:47,030
Presentation video: Pero mas napapadali ang pagtulong kapag sentralisado

265
00:17:47,030 --> 00:17:51,030
Presentation video: at malalaman na mismo kung ano ang pangangailangan ng paaralan.

266
00:17:51,030 --> 00:17:54,030
Presentation video: Mas panatag po kami ngayon dahil ramdam namin

267
00:17:54,030 --> 00:17:57,030
Presentation video: na ang bawat piso ay nagagamit nang tama

268
00:17:57,030 --> 00:18:01,030
Presentation video: at napupunta talaga sa edukasyon ng mga bata.

269
00:18:01,030 --> 00:18:06,030
Presentation video: May mga nasimulan na. At mas marami pa tayong gagawin.

270
00:18:06,030 --> 00:18:11,030
President Bongbong Marcos (video): Edukasyon pa rin ang siyang pangunahing nagtataguyod ng kakayahan.

00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,320
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: at magandang umaga po sa ating lahat.

357
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:33,320
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Bago po magsimula, baka pwede po muna itong bilangin sa aking five minutes,

358
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:39,320
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: gusto ko lamang pong batiin lahat ng mga guro na narito na Happy Teacher's Month po sa inyo.

359
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:44,210
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Para pong mahina yung palakpak for our teachers,

360
00:25:44,210 --> 00:25:49,510
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: pwede na pong magsimula yung five minutes, Madam Chair.

361
00:25:50,510 --> 00:25:53,510
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Sige po.

362
00:25:53,510 --> 00:26:01,510
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: This is a very pressing matter because of what has been happening in our schools the past few months.

363
00:26:01,510 --> 00:26:12,510
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Chair, nakababahala po na mismo ang EDCOM 2 nakita na ang Pilipinas na ngayon ang bullying capital of the world.

364
00:26:12,510 --> 00:26:16,510
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Inuulit ko po, hindi ito magandang klase ng gold medal.

365
00:26:16,510 --> 00:26:19,510
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ito yung gold medal na dapat hindi natin sinusuot with pride.

366
00:26:19,510 --> 00:26:23,510
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Again, the Philippines is the bullying capital of the world.

367
00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:33,510
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: This is saddening as it is alarming dahil alam nating bumababa ang learning competencies ng ating mga studyante kapag nabubully sila.

368
00:26:33,510 --> 00:26:43,510
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Bullying is also among the reasons pointed out why the recent cases of school violence happened and why it is alarmingly increasing.

369
00:26:43,510 --> 00:26:48,510
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kaya nga po, kahit ako hindi nakaligtas sa bullying,

370
00:26:48,510 --> 00:26:56,510
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: from no less than a school principal, shout out po sa principal ang Dimasalang High School, National High School po sa Masbate.

371
00:26:56,510 --> 00:27:06,510
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Chair, we'd like to ask the DepEd, ano po ang plano ng DepEd para mapigilan ang bullying at karahasan within our schools?

372
00:27:06,510 --> 00:27:14,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We have a lot of programs and we're looking at, magandang umaga, Perci.

373
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We're looking at full implementation of the anti-bullying law, revised anti-bullying law.

374
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:28,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And in the last year, we've seen a, dumami na po talaga yung functioning child protection committees which is a requirement of the anti-bullying law.

375
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:38,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think if I'm not mistaken, we have over 30,000, there are over 36,000 of our schools already have functioning child protection committees.

376
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:46,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And ang ginawa po namin dahil nakita po ng EDCOM nga na iilan lang po ang dati-dati-rati, about a year and a half ago, ang may functioning child protection committees.

377
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:56,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, that's one. And the second is under the new mental health and well-being law, we're ramping up the hiring.

378
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In fact, we shortened the time for the hiring of the school council associates.

379
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:08,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Normally, this would take three to four months because our HROD, headed by Willie Cabral, looked for a way to shorten the hiring process.

380
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:14,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Naibaba na namin sa halos 30 days, Your Honor, yung hiring process ng school council associates.

381
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, definitely, we're looking at that. We're looking at that. We're looking at that. We're looking at that. We're looking at that. We're looking at that.

382
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:24,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, definitely, I think dapat palakasin talaga yung approach in schools and building a stronger sense of community, Your Honor.

383
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, these are some of the things we're trying to do.

384
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:35,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And of course, training our, kahit yung mga eskwelahan na walang guidance counsellor, which is a systemic problem, as pointed out also by EDCOM.

385
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:43,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: E, itatrain na lang sa suho natin sana yung mga guro, how to deal with problems like this.

386
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And of course, we're also trying to foster the larger community.

387
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:50,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We're also trying to foster the larger community, including the parents, para masabihan din yung mga bata.

388
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:56,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Because as we all know, the origins of bullying are quite complex and many have origins in the household, Your Honor.

389
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,640
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Maraming salamat, Madam Chair.

390
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:07,640
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Mr. Secretary, bahagi po noong IRR ng Anti-Bullying Act ay ang designation ng Learner Information Officers.

391
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,640
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kumusta po ang status ng designation ng ating mga LFOs?

392
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We've ramped it up, Your Honor.

393
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In fact, 100% ang LFOs.

394
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ang pag-designate natin ng Learner Formation Officers.

395
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So all of our schools have a Learner Formation Officer, Your Honor.

396
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:33,400
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Thank you.

397
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,400
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Mr. Secretary, Madam Chair.

398
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:41,400
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Lumipat naman po tayo doon sa isang issue na napakalapit po sa puso ng maraming mga magulang na narito ngayon.

399
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:47,400
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Lalong-lalo na po yung mga magulang ng mga pupils, learners, children with special needs.

400
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:54,400
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Noong nakaraang budget po ay pinaglaban ng Akbayan na maibalik ang pondo ng Special Needs Education Program ng DepEd.

401
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,640
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Pero na-cut na naman po ang budget ng programa for 2027.

402
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,240
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: from [unclear] billion to 850 million

403
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,100
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: pesos. Bakit po kaya

404
00:30:04,100 --> 00:30:05,960
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: nagkaroon na ganitong cut sa budget ng

405
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,560
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: SNED, Mr. Secretary, Madam Chair?

406
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you for the question, Your Honor.

407
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, as you know, this is

408
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: still the initial part of the

409
00:30:14,220 --> 00:30:16,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: budgetary process. So,

410
00:30:16,140 --> 00:30:18,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the NEP to NEP, NEP comparing

411
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 26 NEP to 27 NEP,

412
00:30:20,140 --> 00:30:22,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: actually, pantay lang siya. So, in that sense,

413
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:23,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: walang budget cut. Kasi yung

414
00:30:23,580 --> 00:30:26,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 1.04 billion ng 2026

415
00:30:26,220 --> 00:30:28,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: GAA, it represents a,

416
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: includes a congressional insertion.

417
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:31,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, ang practice talaga ng DBM is

418
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: what they put in the next year's

419
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: budget is only the NEP amount

420
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: from the previous year. So, siguro

421
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: inasahan din nila na madadagdagan

422
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: po yan sa panig ng Kongreso.

423
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But, having said that, we've

424
00:30:44,060 --> 00:30:46,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: appealed for an additional 541.5

425
00:30:46,740 --> 00:30:48,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: million, subject to the discretion

426
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of the Honorable Members of Congress,

427
00:30:50,260 --> 00:30:52,260
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Your Honor. And what would this

428
00:30:52,260 --> 00:30:53,920
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: additional 500

429
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,100
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: million cover in terms of programs

430
00:30:56,100 --> 00:30:57,960
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: and services, Madam Chair?

431
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,820
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Mr. Secretary? Additional

432
00:30:59,820 --> 00:31:01,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: staffing, Your Honor. Also,

433
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the facilities, maraming schools

434
00:31:04,020 --> 00:31:06,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na wala pa rin equipment, yung inclusive learning

435
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: centers. But, I think, one of the

436
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: greatest needs is really personnel

437
00:31:09,340 --> 00:31:11,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and hiring, Your Honor. So, this will enable us

438
00:31:11,900 --> 00:31:12,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to hire

439
00:31:12,380 --> 00:31:17,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: program support funds for

440
00:31:17,860 --> 00:31:20,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 34,000 schools, program support funds

441
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: for each SDO.

442
00:31:22,060 --> 00:31:23,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, this is to train some of

443
00:31:23,980 --> 00:31:25,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the teachers, given the systemic

444
00:31:25,780 --> 00:31:27,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: lack of personnel. And,

445
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: capacity building for 622 school

446
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:32,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: heads, supervisors, and

447
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: multidisciplinary teams as required by the

448
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Inclusive Education Law, Your Honor.

449
00:31:36,260 --> 00:31:37,820
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kinakilangan po talaga, Madam Chair,

450
00:31:37,940 --> 00:31:39,980
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Mr. Secretary,

451
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,980
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: na supportahan natin ang ating mga learners

452
00:31:41,980 --> 00:31:44,040
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: with disabilities within the

453
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,780
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: formal education institutions.

454
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,640
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kasi po, sila ang may pinaka

455
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,880
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: pangangailangan na supporta. Kaya po,

456
00:31:49,980 --> 00:31:51,980
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ibig sabihin, dapat sila yung isa sa

457
00:31:51,980 --> 00:31:53,580
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: may pinakamalaking investment

458
00:31:53,580 --> 00:31:55,980
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: in terms of our budget. Kasi yan po

459
00:31:55,980 --> 00:31:57,500
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: talaga ang itsura ng inclusion.

460
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,480
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: We propose restoring

461
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,600
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: the SNED funding to 1 billion

462
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,860
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: and perhaps even increasing it to

463
00:32:03,860 --> 00:32:05,940
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: 2 billion so that Inclusive Education Act

464
00:32:05,940 --> 00:32:07,600
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: is backed by services,

465
00:32:07,980 --> 00:32:10,040
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: facilities, materials, and professional

466
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,940
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: support needed for its full

467
00:32:11,940 --> 00:32:13,900
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: implementation. Let me move on

468
00:32:13,900 --> 00:32:16,100
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: to the Inclusive Learning Resource Centers.

469
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:17,960
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Nabanggit niyo po kanina, pero

470
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,780
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: 4 years na po since na-enact

471
00:32:19,780 --> 00:32:22,080
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ang Inclusive Education Act. Pero

472
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,100
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: sa kasalukuyan, 32 pa

473
00:32:24,100 --> 00:32:25,880
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: lamang po ang Inclusive Learning

474
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,880
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Resource Centers na meron tayo.

475
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,880
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: This is nowhere near the target

476
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,220
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: of 1,642

477
00:32:32,220 --> 00:32:33,620
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ILRCs

478
00:32:33,620 --> 00:32:35,760
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: across the country. Ilan po ang target

479
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,860
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: natin i-build next year? At magkano po

480
00:32:37,860 --> 00:32:39,500
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ang nakalaang budget para dito,

481
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,620
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary?

482
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you for the support

483
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: for SNED. We couldn't agree with you more,

484
00:32:45,940 --> 00:32:48,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor. For the ILRCs,

485
00:32:48,780 --> 00:32:49,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the budget for 2027

486
00:32:49,980 --> 00:32:51,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: is 81.6 million, which will

487
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: be able to construct 6 ILRCs,

488
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:55,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor. So as always, we are

489
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: limited by the budget.

490
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's not given to us, allotted to us.

491
00:33:00,260 --> 00:33:02,100
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: So ibig sabihin po, that will be 38

492
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:03,980
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: by end of, hopefully, fiscal year

493
00:33:03,980 --> 00:33:06,240
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: 2027. That's 38

494
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,000
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: out of 1,642

495
00:33:09,660 --> 00:33:10,000
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ILRCs.

496
00:33:11,220 --> 00:33:12,080
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ano pong plano natin

497
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,440
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: dyan in the future to ramp up itong programang ito?

498
00:33:15,460 --> 00:33:15,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well,

499
00:33:16,060 --> 00:33:17,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we would, again, we request,

500
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we would always request extra budget. But I think

501
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: there are maybe creative ways to go about it, Your Honor,

502
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Madam Chair. It's perhaps to

503
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: encourage also

504
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: some of the LGUs to build.

505
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And perhaps

506
00:33:29,860 --> 00:33:31,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: one of these ways is if Congress could

507
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: look at amending the Adopt-a-School

508
00:33:33,900 --> 00:33:35,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: law to include,

509
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to expand the menu for,

510
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:39,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because this has proven to be a very

511
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: powerful incentive for the private

512
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: sector to invest in education

513
00:33:43,820 --> 00:33:46,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because they get a very hefty

514
00:33:46,020 --> 00:33:47,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: malaki yung tax break na tinatanggap

515
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: po ng mga pribadong

516
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: korporasyon. So pag naisama po yung

517
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:54,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: inclusive education dyan, palagay ko

518
00:33:54,020 --> 00:33:56,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: baka it's a way of approaching

519
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the problem from many sides, not just from

520
00:33:57,900 --> 00:33:59,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the one dimension of government

521
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:01,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: spending, Your Honor. Sama natin yung

522
00:34:01,740 --> 00:34:03,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: LGU, isama po natin yung private sector, Your Honor.

523
00:34:05,340 --> 00:34:05,980
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Salamat po,

524
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,260
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Mr. Secretary, Madam Chair.

525
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,680
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Let's now move on to another

526
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,980
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: issue that we also raised last year, the issue

527
00:34:11,980 --> 00:34:14,100
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: of mental health and sexual health

528
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:15,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: in public school facilities.

529
00:34:16,020 --> 00:34:17,660
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Hindi po nagsisinungaling ang datos.

530
00:34:18,260 --> 00:34:19,940
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Pabata na pabata po ang kaso

531
00:34:19,940 --> 00:34:22,040
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ng mga adolescent pregnancy at HIV

532
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,140
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: sa bansa. Idagdag pa po natin

533
00:34:24,140 --> 00:34:25,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: yung nabanggit natin kanina na recent

534
00:34:25,740 --> 00:34:27,620
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: cases ng school violence.

535
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:29,600
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kaya mahalaga po ang programa ng

536
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,480
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: DepEd na mag-establish ng

537
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,160
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: learner support centers.

538
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,640
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Magsisilbi itong one-stop shop para sa

539
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,860
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: well-being, mental health, and reproductive

540
00:34:37,860 --> 00:34:39,580
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: health ng ating mga studyante.

541
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,780
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Gusto lang po natin itanong, nasa na po

542
00:34:41,780 --> 00:34:43,780
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: tayo sa implementation ng programang ito

543
00:34:43,780 --> 00:34:45,640
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: at magkano po ang budget na request

544
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,620
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ng DepEd para dito? Again, what was

545
00:34:47,620 --> 00:34:49,720
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: requested and how much was reflected

546
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:50,460
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: in the NEP?

547
00:34:55,630 --> 00:35:00,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: For the learning support centers.

548
00:35:00,300 --> 00:35:02,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We only have a budget of 10.8

549
00:35:02,460 --> 00:35:04,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: million for the enhancement of learner

550
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:05,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: support centers, Your Honor.

551
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:08,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But I think, I believe we've

552
00:35:08,620 --> 00:35:10,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: requested a larger amount for that.

553
00:35:10,820 --> 00:35:12,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I just, allow me some time

554
00:35:12,500 --> 00:35:13,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to get the number, Your Honor.

555
00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:19,720
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Chair, may we request DepEd to

556
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:21,880
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: before the end of this budget hearing to

557
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,660
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: furnish us with the information

558
00:35:23,660 --> 00:35:25,460
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: on the learning support centers.

559
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,860
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Yung po isang concern na maraming

560
00:35:27,860 --> 00:35:29,780
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: nating mga guro din ay paano po

561
00:35:29,780 --> 00:35:31,760
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: magiging staffing ng programang ito?

562
00:35:32,220 --> 00:35:34,100
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Sigurado po ba tayo na hindi ipapasalo

563
00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:36,100
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: sa ating mga already overworked teachers

564
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:38,100
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: and responsibilities under this program?

565
00:35:38,140 --> 00:35:40,140
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary.

566
00:35:40,140 --> 00:35:42,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think it's a

567
00:35:42,140 --> 00:35:44,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: mabuti rin na po ititrain po natin ang ating

568
00:35:44,140 --> 00:35:46,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: mga teachers but definitely ayaw natin

569
00:35:46,140 --> 00:35:48,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na silang sumalo nitong problema which

570
00:35:48,140 --> 00:35:50,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: is why we have

571
00:35:50,140 --> 00:35:52,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: as mentioned earlier, the learning formation

572
00:35:52,140 --> 00:35:54,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: officers, the

573
00:35:54,140 --> 00:35:56,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: school counselor associates, the guidance counselor

574
00:35:56,140 --> 00:35:58,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: associates and where

575
00:35:58,140 --> 00:36:00,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: they are available, the guidance counselors also,

576
00:36:00,140 --> 00:36:02,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor. Tsaka tinitrain din po

577
00:36:02,140 --> 00:36:04,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: natin yung ating mga teachers dahil

578
00:36:04,140 --> 00:36:06,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think mental health is something that we should all

579
00:36:06,140 --> 00:36:08,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: all be aware of and not be dismissive

580
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of because that's the natural

581
00:36:10,060 --> 00:36:11,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: tendency in the past because

582
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: usually sinasabi ng mga matatanda tulad

583
00:36:14,180 --> 00:36:16,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: natin na normal lang

584
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yan, diba? Ano yan? Tinadaanan natin

585
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:20,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng lahat yan. But that's not the case.

586
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think it's on the increase now, especially

587
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: kids are more vulnerable now

588
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because of the exposure to social

589
00:36:26,300 --> 00:36:28,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: media. I think that that's something which

590
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: our generation did not have to deal

591
00:36:30,300 --> 00:36:32,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: with, your honor. So, lumalala

592
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na po ang problema. Tama po kayo and we

593
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: appreciate the support from your end.

594
00:36:36,140 --> 00:36:38,320
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Maraming salamat, Mr.

595
00:36:38,420 --> 00:36:40,520
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Secretary, Madam Chair. Nabanggit

596
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,280
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ko po kanina na pabataan na pabataan

597
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,120
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: nagkakaroon ng HIV sa ating

598
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,320
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: bansa at alam niyo naman po kung gano'ng

599
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,400
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: katindi yung ating passion

600
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,240
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: in advocating for reproductive health

601
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:52,300
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: education. At yung

602
00:36:52,300 --> 00:36:54,160
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: isa pong tanong na palagi namin kinatanong sa

603
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,840
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: DepEd ay given the situation,

604
00:36:56,180 --> 00:36:58,240
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ituturo na po ba natin ang proper

605
00:36:58,240 --> 00:36:59,960
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: condom use sa ating mga estudyante

606
00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:02,100
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: at ituturo po sa anong edad po

607
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:03,820
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ito ituturo, Madam Chair?

608
00:37:05,580 --> 00:37:06,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Definitely

609
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:08,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: that's a requirement of the

610
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: reproductive health law, Your

611
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: honor. So, I just have to check

612
00:37:12,220 --> 00:37:14,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: what age it's being

613
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: taught with our curriculum

614
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,580

621
00:37:30,220 --> 00:37:32,080

00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pagdating ko sa

00:37:33,180 --> 00:37:36,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: bodily part,

624
00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:37,900

625
00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:39,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: one or key stage two. But yung actual

626
00:37:39,780 --> 00:37:42,200

627
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:55,950

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: or the Aral Program Act.

670
00:39:15,890 --> 00:39:17,250
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: This was a

671
00:39:17,270 --> 00:39:19,370
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: approved on October 16, 2024

672
00:39:19,370 --> 00:39:20,810

673
00:39:20,810 --> 00:39:22,970
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: co-author po dito. And I believe

674
00:39:22,970 --> 00:39:24,710
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: that, sekretary, this is one of the most

675
00:39:24,710 --> 00:39:27,210
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: important investment we can make

676
00:39:27,210 --> 00:39:29,250
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: in our children, sa ating mga kabataang

677
00:39:29,250 --> 00:39:31,550
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: mag-aaral. Aware po naman tayo,

678
00:39:32,030 --> 00:39:33,490
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: sekretary, na mayroong tinatawag

679
00:39:33,490 --> 00:39:35,210
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: na learning gaps

680
00:39:35,210 --> 00:39:37,170
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: of our students, which we

681
00:39:37,170 --> 00:39:39,370
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: cannot solve by simply moving them

682
00:39:39,370 --> 00:39:41,310
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: from one grade level to another.

683
00:39:42,250 --> 00:39:42,790
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Madam Chair,

684
00:39:42,790 --> 00:39:44,810
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: a child who reaches

685
00:39:44,810 --> 00:39:46,050
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: grade 6, for example,

686
00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:48,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: without the ability to read

687
00:39:48,270 --> 00:39:50,370

00:39:51,810 --> 00:39:54,190
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: operations, carries

690
00:39:54,190 --> 00:39:55,450
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: that learning deficit

691
00:39:55,450 --> 00:39:57,870
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: with him throughout his education.

692
00:39:58,550 --> 00:40:00,390
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Kaya po para sa akin, marapat lamang

693
00:40:00,390 --> 00:40:01,810
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: na i-accelerate natin

694
00:40:01,810 --> 00:40:04,210
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: ang implementasyon ng aral program.

695
00:40:04,990 --> 00:40:06,070
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Ang magandang programa

696
00:40:06,070 --> 00:40:07,870
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: ay dapat lamang nabigyan ng

00:40:07,870 --> 00:40:10,210
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: kaukulang pondo para magawa

698
00:40:10,210 --> 00:40:12,050
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: ito. Sir Sekretary,

699
00:40:12,270 --> 00:40:13,050
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: sa DBM's

700
00:40:13,050 --> 00:40:16,050
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Fiscal Year 2027 Budgeting,

701
00:40:16,050 --> 00:40:29,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: priorities framework specifically identifies the acceleration of the ARAL program as a priority. Tama po ba ito, Secretary? May we know

702
00:40:29,610 --> 00:40:33,910
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: the exact amount appropriated for this ARAL program in the 2027 NEP,

703
00:40:33,910 --> 00:40:44,690
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: and under what specific program, activity and project or unified accounts structure line item can we find it? Thank you, Madam Chair.

704
00:40:44,690 --> 00:40:46,030
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Maraming salamat,

705
00:40:46,030 --> 00:40:54,090
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Madam Chair. Your Honor, Congressman Pleyto, salamat po sa inyong sinabing magandang salita tungkol sa amin sa DepEd.

706
00:40:54,670 --> 00:41:03,170
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Regarding the ARAL program, there is a zero allotment for this under the 2027 budget.

707
00:41:04,050 --> 00:41:13,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Unlike this year where there was an allotment of around 9 billion for the ARAL, the different aspects of the ARAL.

708
00:41:13,930 --> 00:41:23,990
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So that is why we are requesting, or we proposed rather, during the budget call, 9.98 billion for implementation of the ARAL program.

709
00:41:24,450 --> 00:41:36,050
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Broken down, 1.09 billion for compensation for 15,800 ARAL tutors, 6 billion for learning recovery and remediation consultations,

710
00:41:36,050 --> 00:41:43,110
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 1.25 billion for summer program tutors, 1.18 billion for external tutors.

711
00:41:43,930 --> 00:41:55,510
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And 4.61 billion for ARAL learning resources, and 1.75 billion for the orientation of the tutors, and 94 million for program management, Your Honor.

712
00:41:55,510 --> 00:42:05,390
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At maganda naman ang resulta ng ating programa because doon sa 6.7 million na pumasok po sa ARAL program,

713
00:42:05,930 --> 00:42:13,910
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we saw at the end of the school year, mayroong 4.5 million fewer struggling readers, at saka may 2.5 million doon sa 6.7 million

714
00:42:13,930 --> 00:42:20,030
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na umangat po sa grade level reading, so they are now reading at the right level.

715
00:42:20,550 --> 00:42:31,790
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So these are a few of the achievements, at sa mga naikutan kong mga eskwelahan, iyon din ang kinukuwento po ng mga teachers at saka principals na effective po yung ARAL program.

716
00:42:31,990 --> 00:42:40,410
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So again, nagpapasalamat po tayo sa Kongreso sa magandang batas na ito, at hopefully mapagbigyan dito sa mga requests, Your Honor.

717
00:42:40,410 --> 00:42:43,690
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you, Secretary, for that

718
00:42:43,930 --> 00:42:44,690
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: response.

719
00:42:45,590 --> 00:42:47,490
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Pangalawa po, Madam Chair.

720
00:42:48,810 --> 00:42:58,950
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Sapat ba ito, Secretary, to cover the whole program and the remuneration of teachers, para-teachers, who will serve as ARAL tutors.

721
00:42:59,570 --> 00:43:02,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: I believe this covers reading, math, and science.

722
00:43:03,550 --> 00:43:08,850
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Also, these teachers are already carrying a tremendous workload in our public schools.

723
00:43:08,850 --> 00:43:13,110
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: If we are asking them to provide additional tutoring,

724
00:43:13,930 --> 00:43:20,470
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: beyond their regular responsibilities, we must ensure that their regular responsibilities,

725
00:43:20,470 --> 00:43:25,570
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: we must ensure that they are properly and fairly compensated.

726
00:43:25,570 --> 00:43:36,290
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Madam Chair, Secretary, we cannot ask our teachers to close the learning gaps of our children while leaving a gap in the support we give to our teachers.

727
00:43:36,290 --> 00:43:38,290
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Thank you, Madam Chair, Secretary.

728
00:43:38,290 --> 00:43:40,870
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Madam Chair, thank you for the question.

729
00:43:40,870 --> 00:43:42,770
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasama po sa request namin iyon, yung remuneration

730
00:43:43,790 --> 00:43:46,850
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng ARAL teachers and tutors, Your Honor.

731
00:43:46,850 --> 00:43:51,290
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 3.5 billion ang total remuneration na ni-request po namin.

732
00:43:51,290 --> 00:43:52,770
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Kasya na ba ito?

733
00:43:53,130 --> 00:43:56,430
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasya na po.

734
00:43:56,430 --> 00:43:57,430
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasya na po iyon, Your Honor.

735
00:43:58,210 --> 00:44:00,970
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Salamat po sa inyong tugon, Secretary.

736
00:44:00,970 --> 00:44:08,550
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Madam Chair and Secretary, may I manifest my support to allocate appropriate funding needed by DepEd

737
00:44:08,550 --> 00:44:11,150
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: to successfully implement the ARAL program.

738
00:44:11,150 --> 00:44:13,150
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: It should be our priority to help our Filipino children to catch up,

739
00:44:13,490 --> 00:44:14,590
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: learn better

740
00:44:15,930 --> 00:44:17,830
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: and regain their confidence

741
00:44:17,830 --> 00:44:19,150

742
00:44:19,490 --> 00:44:21,390

743
00:44:22,030 --> 00:44:23,050

00:44:35,630 --> 00:44:37,430
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Erice.

751
00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:39,150
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Magandang

752
00:44:39,150 --> 00:44:41,270
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: umaga po, Madam Chair,

753
00:44:41,410 --> 00:44:42,990
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: sa ating kalihim,

754
00:44:43,190 --> 00:44:44,350
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: magaling na kalihim ng

00:44:47,210 --> 00:44:49,310
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: very capable at napakagaling

757
00:44:49,310 --> 00:44:50,570
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ng kalihim ng

758
00:44:50,570 --> 00:44:52,790
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Department of Education.

759
00:44:53,730 --> 00:44:55,170
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Subalit, ano kaya

760
00:44:55,170 --> 00:44:56,450
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: magagawa ng

761
00:44:56,450 --> 00:44:59,570
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ating kalihim kung napakalaki

762
00:44:59,570 --> 00:45:00,000
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ng bawas

763
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ng kanyang budget.

764
00:45:02,300 --> 00:45:09,460
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Nakita, kung napansin ko po sa basic education, facilities, negative 64.2%.

765
00:45:09,460 --> 00:45:17,020
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Government assistance to senior high school voucher program, 100%. Wala po.

766
00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:21,940
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: School-based feeding program, negative 55%.

767
00:45:21,940 --> 00:45:29,060
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Textbook and other instructional materials, negative 66.8%.

768
00:45:29,060 --> 00:45:32,120
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: This is compared to the 2026 GAA.

769
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:42,000
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Government assistance and subsidies, educational service contracting program for private junior high school, 100%.

770
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,980
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Wala na po. Zero.

771
00:45:43,980 --> 00:45:47,980
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: New school personal positions, negative 25%.

772
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:58,980
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Para sa infrastructure for safer and resilient schools, a project of the World Bank, negative 75%.

773
00:45:59,060 --> 00:46:05,140
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Computerization program, negative 45%.

00:46:05,140 --> 00:46:09,280

00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:14,040
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: School innovation and improvement fund, negative, wala na, zero.

776
00:46:14,940 --> 00:46:21,740
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Joint delivery voucher for senior high school, technical, vocational, and livelihood specialization, zero na rin po.

777
00:46:22,220 --> 00:46:24,920
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Anong po ba ang ibig sabihin nito? Maraming pang iba.

778
00:46:27,540 --> 00:46:30,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Maraming salamat, Madam Chair, Congressman.

779
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you very much for the kind words you mentioned.

780
00:46:33,820 --> 00:46:36,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero tama po kayo, malaki po ang bawas sa budget.

781
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:44,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero nantindihan din po natin yung konteksto ng malaking budget ng 2026 na bunga din po,

782
00:46:44,420 --> 00:46:53,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: kumbaga bonanza ng flood control dahil yung 200 billion na napunta po sa edukasyon at health.

783
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And hopefully, magpatuloy po.

784
00:46:55,780 --> 00:47:00,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, tama po kayo na nawala po yung mga pondong yun.

785
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:09,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And so, yung sa feeding, for example, nag-request po kami ng additional para ma-maintain lang po yung this year's level.

786
00:47:09,820 --> 00:47:17,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasi this year, aside from universal kindergarten o lahat ng bata sa kindergarten ay pinapakain, pati grade 1 po.

787
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:28,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, napansin nga ng mga UNICEF at saka ng mga ibang international organizations na yung commitment ng Pilipinas sa foundational learning

788
00:47:28,220 --> 00:47:29,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and holistic learning.

789
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Holistic approach to learning.

790
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, sana yun, maibalik po.

791
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:41,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At kasi ang sakop din po ng feeding ngayon is 120 days under the 2027 budget.

792
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:49,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Hopefully, ma-extend yun sa 180 days, which is for the current school year or the current fiscal year.

793
00:47:49,540 --> 00:48:00,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasi nga po, ang napansin namin is, tinitimbang natin yung mga bata at very successful yung feeding dahil,

794
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: they gain weight.

795
00:48:03,460 --> 00:48:08,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero, pagka meron pong butal or meron pong portion ng school year na hindi sila pinapakain,

796
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: bumabalik din po sa dating tinbang.

797
00:48:11,180 --> 00:48:18,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And, of course, the evidence is very strong also for improved learning outcomes,

798
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:21,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: especially sa younger years.

799
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's why we're focusing on kinder and grade 1.

800
00:48:23,980 --> 00:48:24,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, sana may balik po yun.

801
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:30,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Definitely, there's a proven connection or correlation between the feeding and the,

802
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:31,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the learning outcomes, Your Honor.

803
00:48:31,780 --> 00:48:36,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, that's just one aspect of the many programs that you mentioned.

804
00:48:36,980 --> 00:48:41,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, yung aral nga, as mentioned in the interchange with Congressman Plato,

805
00:48:41,340 --> 00:48:43,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: wala rin pondo, allotted funds for that.

806
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:50,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, and then, ang gusto nga po natin is ma-expand yung aral program to math and science later on.

807
00:48:51,100 --> 00:48:54,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil yung nagawa po lang natin is reading, aral reading.

808
00:48:55,220 --> 00:48:57,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And yet, napakaganda na po nung epekto.

809
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,360
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil for the first time in history,

810
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at nagpapasalamat muli tayo sa Kongreso kay Pangulong Marcos,

811
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:07,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na merong programa, na merong tutors ang bawat estudyante ng public schools.

812
00:49:07,980 --> 00:49:09,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: First time nangyari po yan.

813
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:16,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I know certain LGUs, certain schools, kumukuha ng sponsor para gawin yun.

814
00:49:16,820 --> 00:49:19,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero it's the first time it was done on a system-wide basis.

815
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, sana masustain yung momentum na ito.

816
00:49:21,940 --> 00:49:25,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And at the same time, it's also,

817
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:31,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: it's also an incentive, yung school feeding is also an incentive for attendance.

818
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Nakita natin, nag-improve din po yung attendance ng mga bata sa eskwelahan.

819
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:41,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, these are just two of the aspects of the, of, tapos yung voucher program,

820
00:49:41,620 --> 00:49:46,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hindi naman na zero yung voucher program.

821
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:48,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ano lang, nabawasan lang ng konti.

822
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, that means less beneficiaries also.

823
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:57,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And as we know, the voucher program is also one way of decongesting

824
00:49:57,180 --> 00:49:57,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: our congested public schools

825
00:49:57,340 --> 00:50:03,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: by giving vouchers to nearby private schools in the area

826
00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:09,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: para mabawasan po ng class size yung ating mga ibang public school, Your Honor.

827
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:14,340
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sa data ko po, Secretary, 26 billion ng 2026.

828
00:50:15,100 --> 00:50:15,800
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ngayon po, zero.

829
00:50:18,990 --> 00:50:23,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It was just consolidated, kaya siguro magmukhang nagbago ho.

830
00:50:23,550 --> 00:50:28,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But it's consolidated, the consolidated program including the,

831
00:50:28,370 --> 00:50:32,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the JDVP, the ESC, amounts to 38 billion,

832
00:50:32,290 --> 00:50:35,890
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: which is a decrease of around 3 billion from last year, Your Honor.

833
00:50:38,420 --> 00:50:43,240
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Secretary, nabawasan din po ng negative din po yung government assistance and subsidies

834
00:50:43,240 --> 00:50:45,640
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: for educational services.

835
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:46,500
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Zero na rin po.

836
00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:51,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yan po, nabawasan ng 3 billion ho yung programang sinasabi din nyo, Your Honor.

837
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:59,240
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Secretary, alam nyo, ito po yung mga planado na yung programa.

838
00:51:00,020 --> 00:51:03,620
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Meron na pong, gumugulong na itong programa, madaling ang implementation.

839
00:51:03,620 --> 00:51:08,720
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: May 58 billion for LGSF.

840
00:51:09,140 --> 00:51:09,780
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Billion.

841
00:51:11,500 --> 00:51:13,200
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ito po, 10 billion lang.

842
00:51:13,620 --> 00:51:19,800
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Maybe you can suggest to the President that bawasan na yung 58 billion na LGSF,

843
00:51:19,860 --> 00:51:20,900
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: na wala naman talaga.

844
00:51:21,460 --> 00:51:22,880
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Wala pang plano.

845
00:51:24,220 --> 00:51:29,480
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Pag-aalatsamba pa tayo doon, dito meron na talaga para sa mga kabataan.

846
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,420
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: So maybe Congress can also consider that.

847
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:33,260
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kasi po,

848
00:51:33,620 --> 00:51:35,980
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: kawawa naman yung mga kabataan natin.

849
00:51:36,500 --> 00:51:36,780
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: And,

850
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:41,740
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: parami pong pangako ang Pangulo sa edukasyon.

851
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:43,540
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ayan po, nilista ko lahat.

852
00:51:44,380 --> 00:51:47,280
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Tutugunan ang kakulangan at kondisyon ng mga silid-aralan.

853
00:51:48,740 --> 00:51:50,720
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi pa rin po masyadong na-implement.

854
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:56,680
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Magtatayo ng 40,000 classrooms bago matapos ang termino sa 2028.

855
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:57,700
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kaya pa po ba ito?

856
00:52:00,950 --> 00:52:01,670
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Classrooms, o?

857
00:52:01,790 --> 00:52:02,350
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Classrooms?

858
00:52:02,350 --> 00:52:02,830
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yes.

859
00:52:02,990 --> 00:52:06,090
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Meron pong pangako na magtatayo ng 40,000 classrooms.

860
00:52:06,110 --> 00:52:08,670
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Bago matapos ang termino sa 2028.

861
00:52:08,910 --> 00:52:09,710
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kaya pa po ito?

862
00:52:09,950 --> 00:52:10,110
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Okay.

863
00:52:11,950 --> 00:52:15,590
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, you know, on the average, Madam Chair, Your Honor,

864
00:52:16,170 --> 00:52:21,770
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ang napafun ho nang ga-a for classrooms is around 5,000 approximately per year.

865
00:52:22,770 --> 00:52:27,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero for this year, because dito nga sa historic budget na binigay ninyo po sa amin,

866
00:52:27,770 --> 00:52:32,630
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we have around 60 billion for infra classrooms, new classrooms.

867
00:52:32,630 --> 00:52:35,630
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, that will...

868
00:52:36,110 --> 00:52:42,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: represent around 18,000 classrooms, Your Honor.

869
00:52:43,140 --> 00:52:46,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tapos meron ding sinasalang na PPP or Public-Private Partnership,

870
00:52:47,500 --> 00:52:52,360
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: which na-approve na ho ng NEDA or DepDev ICC,

871
00:52:53,180 --> 00:52:54,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung...

872
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: How many?

873
00:52:57,700 --> 00:52:59,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Another 16,000, ho.

874
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:04,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, dito pa lang sa taong ito, ma-umpisahan na ho siguro yung 34,000.

875
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, it's still a long way towards the...

876
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:15,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 140 plus thousand classroom deficit that we have accumulated over the years.

877
00:53:15,700 --> 00:53:25,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But definitely, it is the biggest attempt to make a dent or to improve upon the classroom deficit.

878
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:31,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, kumbaga hindi siya business as usual, Your Honor, Mr. President.

879
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:38,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Madam Chair, talagang nag-i-effort si Pangulo and ang member ng Kongreso to solve this...

880
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: years-old problem, Kong Egay.

881
00:53:43,240 --> 00:53:45,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yes, thank you, Secretary.

882
00:53:45,740 --> 00:53:48,880
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sa distrito ko po, mga 150 classrooms lang kukulang.

883
00:53:49,380 --> 00:53:53,620
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Talagang bago mag-2028, baka matupad ni Pangulo sa kanyang pangako.

884
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:54,640
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sa kalookan man lang.

885
00:53:57,220 --> 00:53:58,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We will do that, Your Honor.

886
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,040
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Bibigyan ng laptop ang bawat public school teacher.

887
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, this year, we're giving...

888
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:11,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think over 200,000...

889
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:18,170
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 283,000 laptops, which, again, is not business as usual, Your Honor.

890
00:54:18,270 --> 00:54:21,330
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We have about 870,000 teachers.

891
00:54:21,810 --> 00:54:26,070
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: This is the biggest single allocation in any year for our teachers.

892
00:54:26,730 --> 00:54:28,790
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, again, the question is sustainability.

893
00:54:29,610 --> 00:54:33,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil kung hindi natin masustain ito, hindi natin mabibigyan lahat.

894
00:54:33,370 --> 00:54:38,570
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But definitely, in one year, we're giving almost one-third of the school teachers already.

895
00:54:41,190 --> 00:54:45,030
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: So, by end of the term, the President, kaya-kayang mabibigyan?

896
00:54:45,070 --> 00:54:48,630
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Lahat ng laptop, yung mga teachers?

897
00:54:49,730 --> 00:54:54,890
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Sa 2027 budget, there's funding only for 50,000 laptops, Your Honor.

898
00:54:56,130 --> 00:55:02,330
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's why we're requesting an additional 10B para ma-fulfill po yung pangako niya.

899
00:55:03,630 --> 00:55:10,770
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: How about yung pangako po na yung lowering of learning poverty para po sa ating basic education?

900
00:55:11,670 --> 00:55:12,750
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ano na po ba ang improvement?

901
00:55:12,750 --> 00:55:14,750
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: For example, in the...

902
00:55:15,070 --> 00:55:31,570
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, this week, hopefully, we will be getting some good news.

903
00:55:31,730 --> 00:55:37,650
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But we'll have to wait because the results of these exams are embargoed, Your Honor, until tomorrow.

904
00:55:39,170 --> 00:55:39,950
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hanggang bukas po.

905
00:55:39,970 --> 00:55:40,270
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Opo.

906
00:55:40,270 --> 00:55:44,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil iuunang ng OECD yung pag-release po ng impormasyon.

907
00:55:44,150 --> 00:55:59,970
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kasi po, yung OECD standards, nung mga nakaraan, nasa mga 69% yung average sa mga kabataan sa buong mundo,

908
00:56:00,910 --> 00:56:08,170
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: tayo po, napakalayo natin. Hopefully, tomorrow, we will hear good news.

909
00:56:08,750 --> 00:56:09,910
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor. Hopefully.

910
00:56:09,910 --> 00:56:13,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Because the department has really been making an effort.

911
00:56:13,490 --> 00:56:14,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At mismo si Pangulo.

912
00:56:14,150 --> 00:56:19,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Nung bagong appoint sa akin, sinabi niya na dapat pagbudihin po natin yung performance natin dyan.

913
00:56:19,950 --> 00:56:26,950
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At you're right. In 2018, we were the last of all the countries, I think of about 60 plus countries who participated.

914
00:56:27,410 --> 00:56:30,910
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In 2022, we were third from the last of all the countries.

915
00:56:31,190 --> 00:56:32,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, hopefully...

916
00:56:32,810 --> 00:56:39,050
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Hopefully, wala na tayo sa third, second, at last.

917
00:56:39,410 --> 00:56:40,910
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Anyway, anyway po.

918
00:56:40,910 --> 00:56:43,670
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: So, pagdating naman po sa mga textbooks.

919
00:56:44,150 --> 00:56:47,070
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: And materials. Ano po ba ang improvement natin dyan?

920
00:56:48,190 --> 00:56:56,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Again, Madam Chair, there is a historic allocation of over 20 billion for textbooks this year.

921
00:56:56,010 --> 00:57:06,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, yung pangarap po natin is, yung naabutan po kasi namin, yung isang textbook ay sineshare at pinapasa ng apat na batches ng mga bata.

922
00:57:06,970 --> 00:57:13,130
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kaya sinasabihan yung bata, huwag sulatan yung textbook, huwag iuwi dahil ipapasa pa niya yun.

923
00:57:13,130 --> 00:57:18,390
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, minsan, kung ikaw yung fourth batch, ang nakuha mo na ay warak-warak na po na libro.

924
00:57:18,790 --> 00:57:23,510
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, ang goal talaga natin is one textbook, one learner, your honor.

925
00:57:23,610 --> 00:57:27,350
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And we're on our way to meet that, so definitely, it is not business as usual.

926
00:57:28,070 --> 00:57:36,090
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At nadagdagan din po natin yung supplementary learning materials, which is not just the textbooks na dun sa mga klase ng mga bata.

927
00:57:36,390 --> 00:57:40,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pati yung mga libro na nasa library, at pwede silang iuwi-iwi ito.

928
00:57:40,010 --> 00:57:42,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil dati, hindi na iuwi ito dahil...

929
00:57:43,130 --> 00:57:46,330
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Saka teacher pag nawawala, so ayaw na teacher pa uwi.

930
00:57:46,450 --> 00:57:48,610
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero ngayon, hindi na natin ganun ang polisiya.

931
00:57:48,930 --> 00:57:53,910
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: They're free to bring it home and they're free to write also.

932
00:57:54,130 --> 00:58:02,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We're encouraging them to write because there are studies which show that writing, handwriting aids memory retention, your honor.

933
00:58:02,530 --> 00:58:06,790
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's one of the biggest studies which came out recently.

934
00:58:07,350 --> 00:58:10,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, these are some of the developments in textbooks, your honor.

935
00:58:10,370 --> 00:58:12,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At dati...

936
00:58:13,130 --> 00:58:21,330
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ang finding ng EDCOM, a little over parang 20, 27 textbooks in the last 10 years ang na-procure.

937
00:58:21,970 --> 00:58:27,770
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In 2026, we procured 105 out of 105 titles, your honor.

938
00:58:28,090 --> 00:58:30,350
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ang challenge na lang namin is i-deliver on time.

939
00:58:30,650 --> 00:58:31,870
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dati nalilate ng one year.

940
00:58:32,190 --> 00:58:35,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Siguro ngayon, malate na lang kami ng linggo o buwan na lang po.

941
00:58:35,250 --> 00:58:41,770
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, yun. Pero I think before 2028, makuha na natin yun because we are working on early procurement, your honor.

942
00:58:43,130 --> 00:58:45,410
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: So, 37 seconds na lang ako.

943
00:58:45,950 --> 00:58:47,550
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi ko na ubusin.

944
00:58:48,130 --> 00:58:49,410
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: One last question.

945
00:58:50,070 --> 00:58:58,390
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Alam nyo, ang pinakamalaking problema ng education actually sa aking research, sa aking distrito,

946
00:59:00,230 --> 00:59:04,970
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ay yung parents, they're not so interested in the education of their children.

947
00:59:04,970 --> 00:59:07,970
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Maybe because of poverty, maybe because of other...

948
00:59:08,870 --> 00:59:12,970
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Meron po bang DepEd na parang intervention?

949
00:59:13,130 --> 00:59:16,930
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: When it comes to parenting dito sa ating mga...

950
00:59:16,930 --> 00:59:19,150
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Especially in the elementary school.

951
00:59:21,150 --> 00:59:24,670
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you. Napakagandang tanong ho, [unclear].

952
00:59:25,990 --> 00:59:31,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Negative apps or websites that have a negative influence on him.

953
00:59:31,490 --> 00:59:35,290
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, this has led many countries, in fact, to impose social media bans, your honor.

954
00:59:36,230 --> 00:59:39,350
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Maraming salamat po and congratulations to the DepEd family.

955
00:59:39,610 --> 00:59:41,070
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Maraming salamat sa inyo, Kong Egy.

956
00:59:41,070 --> 00:59:42,970
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Madam Chair, thank you.

957
00:59:43,130 --> 00:59:45,290

973
01:00:51,430 --> 01:00:53,030
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Thank you very much Madam Chair.

974
01:00:53,210 --> 01:00:55,430
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Magandang umaga po sa buong DepEd family.

975
01:00:55,930 --> 01:00:57,050
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Magandang umaga po sa lahat.

976
01:00:57,730 --> 01:01:00,070
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Maraming salamat po Secretary at sa buong DepEd

977
01:01:00,070 --> 01:01:01,370
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: sa lahat ng mga ginagawa niyo.

978
01:01:01,390 --> 01:01:04,730
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Kanina nga nabanggit niyo yung mga record figures

979
01:01:04,730 --> 01:01:06,110
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: dun sa mga sa classroom,

980
01:01:06,550 --> 01:01:08,630
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: sa mga at saka pinamamahagi niyo ng mga materials.

981

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Thank you for your efforts.

982
01:01:11,310 --> 01:01:12,730
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Unfortunately, sabi niyo nga,

983
01:01:13,210 --> 01:01:13,870
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: hindi pa enough.

984
01:01:14,050 --> 01:01:14,770
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Marami pang kulang.

985
01:01:15,090 --> 01:01:17,410
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: At least, unti-unti na atutugunan natin.

986
01:01:18,190 --> 01:01:21,150
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Representing a poverty stricken district and province,

987
01:01:22,130 --> 01:01:23,870
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: malaking bagay po sa amin yung sitwasyon

988
01:01:23,870 --> 01:01:25,390
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: ng classroom shortage.

989
01:01:26,730 --> 01:01:27,610
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Lalo sa distrito ko,

990
01:01:28,210 --> 01:01:30,390
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: more than 700 pa yung shortage namin.

991
01:01:30,390 --> 01:01:31,250
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Tapos yung needing

992
01:01:31,390 --> 01:01:32,750
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: minor and major repairs,

993
01:01:32,750 --> 01:01:33,950
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: more than a thousand.

994
01:01:33,950 --> 01:01:35,950
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Gusto lang po naman kung ano yung updates

995
01:01:35,950 --> 01:01:37,950
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: tungkol doon sa classrooms.

996
01:01:39,630 --> 01:01:44,430
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We have signed MOAS with

997
01:01:44,430 --> 01:01:47,970
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: about over 350 local government units,

998
01:01:47,970 --> 01:01:48,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

999
01:01:48,710 --> 01:01:52,390
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Representing over 20 billion pesos worth of classrooms.

1000
01:01:52,390 --> 01:01:54,390
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tapos yung

1001
01:01:54,390 --> 01:01:58,050
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: nabigay na rin po namin yung validated lists of

1002
01:01:58,050 --> 01:02:09,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ang good news siguro is that

1003
01:02:09,580 --> 01:02:13,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the next batch of public-private partnership

1004
01:02:13,420 --> 01:02:15,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: will have a big focus on Mindanao.

1005
01:02:15,900 --> 01:02:18,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So we'll make sure that your district is included

1006
01:02:18,620 --> 01:02:21,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because 700 is a big backlog for one district,

1007
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:21,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

1008
01:02:22,260 --> 01:02:23,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At we acknowledge that

1009
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Zamboanga Peninsula is one of the

1010
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: most poverty stricken areas of our country

1011
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and we will make an effort to

1012
01:02:30,020 --> 01:02:32,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: really improve the educational situation there.

1013
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Given that you don't have many cities,

1014
01:02:35,580 --> 01:02:37,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hindi mayayaman yung mga LGUs doon.

1015
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So talagang, you're very reliant on national

1016
01:02:39,580 --> 01:02:41,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: government support.

1017
01:02:41,580 --> 01:02:43,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We acknowledge that, Your Honor.

1018
01:02:43,580 --> 01:02:47,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And we will take that into account in the funding of classrooms in the future, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

1019
01:02:49,580 --> 01:02:52,580
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Knowing fully yung problema natin sa classrooms,

1020
01:02:52,580 --> 01:02:55,580
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: thankful tayo na maraming ginagawa.

1021
01:02:55,580 --> 01:02:59,580
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Pwede po kayang ma-increase natin yung budget natin for repairs of classrooms?

1022
01:02:59,580 --> 01:03:02,580
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Kasi minsan may mga classrooms na needing repair,

1023
01:03:02,580 --> 01:03:05,580
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: eh pag hindi natin ni-repair, eh tutuloy lang masisira yun.

1024
01:03:05,580 --> 01:03:07,580
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: So magco-construct naman tayo ng bago.

1025
01:03:07,580 --> 01:03:09,580
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Since mas mura naman mag-repair,

1026
01:03:09,580 --> 01:03:13,580
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: lalong-lalo na po sa mga poverty stricken na mga provinces.

1027
01:03:15,580 --> 01:03:18,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Maganda po yung puntos ninyo, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

1028
01:03:18,580 --> 01:03:22,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasi madalas nababanggit yung backlog sa classrooms.

1029
01:03:22,580 --> 01:03:26,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero may backlog din tayo sa repairs.

1030
01:03:26,580 --> 01:03:29,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In fact, the backlog for repairs is probably more than the...

1031
01:03:29,580 --> 01:03:30,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And why is that?

1032
01:03:30,580 --> 01:03:34,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Because many of our classrooms are over 50 years old already.

1033
01:03:34,580 --> 01:03:37,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kumbaga past the use date already.

1034
01:03:37,580 --> 01:03:39,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So pinagamit na lang natin dahil wala tayong...

1035
01:03:39,580 --> 01:03:43,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pinagtsatsaga na lang po natin dahil wala pa po yung bagong classroom.

1036
01:03:43,580 --> 01:03:46,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So tama po kayo kung pwede po madagdagan.

1037
01:03:46,580 --> 01:03:48,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Again, for this year, napakagandang budget po.

1038
01:03:48,580 --> 01:03:51,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think we had about 6 or 7 billion for repairs.

1039
01:03:51,580 --> 01:03:53,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So marami po tayong na-repair.

1040
01:03:53,580 --> 01:03:56,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But I think for 2027...

1041
01:03:58,580 --> 01:04:00,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: There's 5 billion for the budget, Your Honor.

1042
01:04:00,580 --> 01:04:02,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So that's still higher than previous years, Your Honor.

1043
01:04:02,580 --> 01:04:05,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Where ang budget for repairs was just a few billion.

1044
01:04:05,580 --> 01:04:08,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So kung madagdagan pa ho, we would welcome that.

1045
01:04:08,580 --> 01:04:14,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Because as mentioned, talagang hindi napapansin masyado yung repairs deficit actually.

1046
01:04:14,580 --> 01:04:20,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Where we are holding off on condemning school buildings which already should be condemned.

1047
01:04:20,580 --> 01:04:23,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And perhaps are not as safe as they should be.

1048
01:04:23,580 --> 01:04:27,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kung tinamaan po tayo ng mga sakuna, like nilindol po tayo,

1049
01:04:27,580 --> 01:04:35,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: baka we will have unintended consequences, Your Honor, Madam Chair.

1050
01:04:35,580 --> 01:04:44,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Madam Chair, isa sa mga problema namin, being very far from Metro Manila,

1051
01:04:44,930 --> 01:04:47,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: is yung mga materials natin dun sa amin, ang tagal dumating.

1052
01:04:47,930 --> 01:04:53,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: So minsan, kawawa yung mga estudyante, medyo dehado na nga sa infrastructure.

1053
01:04:53,930 --> 01:04:57,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Dun ba sa learning materials, minsan ang tagal-tagal pang dumating.

1054
01:04:57,930 --> 01:04:59,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Baka po pwedeng ma-address natin?

1055
01:04:59,930 --> 01:05:02,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor. We're undertaking early procurement.

1056
01:05:02,930 --> 01:05:05,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And as mentioned, we've closed the gap in procuring textbooks.

1057
01:05:05,930 --> 01:05:09,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We're trying to close the gap in delivering textbooks on time, Your Honor.

1058
01:05:09,930 --> 01:05:13,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero dati, buwan at saka taon ang delay sa textbooks.

1059
01:05:13,930 --> 01:05:16,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ngayon, linggo na lang. Pero unacceptable pa rin ho ito.

1060
01:05:16,930 --> 01:05:20,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We acknowledge and we will strive to do better, Your Honor.

1061
01:05:20,930 --> 01:05:25,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Last po, yung ano, meron po ba tayong program yung sa...

1062
01:05:25,930 --> 01:05:29,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Kasi mga teachers natin, karamihan, although pinataasan natin yung sahod,

1063
01:05:29,930 --> 01:05:33,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: eh lagi namang problema natin yung sa mga pautang.

1064
01:05:33,930 --> 01:05:34,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: So yung meron po ba tayong program yung sa...

1065
01:05:34,930 --> 01:05:38,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: So yung meron ba tayong program para ma-educate yung teachers natin?

1066
01:05:38,930 --> 01:05:44,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, meron po tayong financial literacy programs that we encourage teachers.

1067
01:05:44,930 --> 01:05:48,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But of course, every month may trainings po tayo.

1068
01:05:48,930 --> 01:05:50,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero siyempre, yung kultura nandun pa rin.

1069
01:05:50,930 --> 01:05:57,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At saka siyempre, ang kaibahan po ng teacher talagang hindi lang mga anak o asawang dependent sa kanya.

1070
01:05:57,930 --> 01:06:02,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pati yung buong angkan, minsan nakaangkas dun sa ating mga guro.

1071
01:06:02,930 --> 01:06:06,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think that's well known to our honorable legislators.

1072
01:06:06,930 --> 01:06:09,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But having said that, we're trying to find ways also.

1073
01:06:09,930 --> 01:06:14,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Isa dito is yung in-extend po natin yung maturity nung allowable loans.

1074
01:06:14,930 --> 01:06:20,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dati-rati, five years ang maximum nung pwedeng i-payroll deduction.

1075
01:06:20,930 --> 01:06:22,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So hindi lumalampas ng five years.

1076
01:06:22,930 --> 01:06:25,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Sumulat po tayo sa BSP na i-extend po ito.

1077
01:06:25,930 --> 01:06:27,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kaya pinayagan po ng BSP.

1078
01:06:27,930 --> 01:06:28,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kaya seven years.

1079
01:06:28,930 --> 01:06:31,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Binaba po nung maraming financial institution o banko,

1080
01:06:31,930 --> 01:06:33,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ang nagbaba ng kanilang interest.

1081
01:06:33,930 --> 01:06:34,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At tumagal din po yung payment.

1082
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:40,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil makikita naman po natin, tumatagal din po ang ating mga teachers sa tenure nila.

1083
01:06:40,930 --> 01:06:42,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Many stay 10, 20, 30 years.

1084
01:06:42,930 --> 01:06:48,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So this is a more realistic option for them financially, Your Honor.

1085
01:06:48,930 --> 01:06:49,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Madam Chair.

1086
01:06:49,930 --> 01:06:57,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Lastly po, yung nabanggit kanina ni Kong Erice na 150 ba yung backlog niya.

1087
01:06:57,930 --> 01:06:59,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Medyo naingit ako kasi yung sa amin 700 eh.

1088
01:06:59,930 --> 01:07:00,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Madam Chair.

1089
01:07:00,930 --> 01:07:06,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Hindi kaya pwedeng yung mga mas maraming kulang eh mas maraming ma-allocate na school buildings?

1090
01:07:06,930 --> 01:07:13,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Kasi minsan naingit kami yung ibang tao na wala, ibang distrito na konting-konti lang pare-pareho kami ng allocation every year eh.

1091
01:07:13,930 --> 01:07:15,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's a good point, Your Honor.

1092
01:07:15,930 --> 01:07:19,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We will look into that and we'll work with you on that, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

1093
01:07:19,930 --> 01:07:21,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

1094
01:07:21,930 --> 01:07:22,930
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: And good luck sa DepEd family.

1095
01:07:22,930 --> 01:07:24,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Maraming salamat sa suporta, Kong Adrian.

1096
01:07:24,930 --> 01:07:25,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you po.

1097
01:07:25,930 --> 01:07:27,930
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Thank you.

1098
01:07:27,930 --> 01:07:29,930
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Next to ask question is from the minority.

1099
01:07:29,930 --> 01:07:34,930
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: The Chair acknowledges Representative Antonio L. Tinio.

1100
01:07:34,930 --> 01:07:36,930
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Thank you, Madam Chair.

1101
01:07:36,930 --> 01:07:40,930
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Good morning po sa DepEd, kay Secretary Angara.

1102
01:07:40,930 --> 01:07:43,930
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Unang tanong tungkol po sa expanded career progression.

1103
01:07:43,930 --> 01:07:48,930
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, from the field ang nakakarating po sa atin

1104
01:07:48,930 --> 01:07:56,930
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng implementation and funding ng ECP 2025-2026.

1105
01:07:56,930 --> 01:07:58,930
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ilan pa po yung backlog?

1106
01:07:58,930 --> 01:08:06,930
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ilan pa po yung backlog na qualified na pero hindi pa napopromote dahil walang budget?

1107
01:08:06,930 --> 01:08:11,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor, Madam Chair, magandang umaga, Kong Tonjie.

1108
01:08:11,930 --> 01:08:15,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: For 2026, there is a 6 billion budget given by Congress.

1109
01:08:15,930 --> 01:08:22,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And this is enough to promote 82,000 of our teachers and school heads, Your Honor.

1110
01:08:22,930 --> 01:08:25,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And in 2027, there is a 12 billion budget.

1111
01:08:25,930 --> 01:08:30,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And this should answer for the promotions of 135,000 school heads.

1112
01:08:30,930 --> 01:08:32,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, hindi po equal yung...

1113
01:08:32,930 --> 01:08:35,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasi yung minsan, sa tagal nang hindi sila napromote,

1114
01:08:35,930 --> 01:08:39,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: they are not only being promoted ng isang rangpo,

1115
01:08:39,930 --> 01:08:41,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hindi minsan dalawa, tatlo.

1116
01:08:41,930 --> 01:08:43,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, teacher 1, nagiging teacher 4.

1117
01:08:43,930 --> 01:08:45,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Teacher 4, nagiging teacher...

1118
01:08:45,930 --> 01:08:48,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We made new positions, Your Honor.

1119
01:08:48,930 --> 01:08:50,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, teacher 6, gano'n minsan may gano'n.

1120
01:08:50,930 --> 01:08:52,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Hindi lang isang rangpo po.

1121
01:08:52,930 --> 01:08:53,930
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, 82,000 promotions were...

1122
01:08:53,930 --> 01:08:59,930
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 82,000 promotions were funded for 2026.

1123
01:08:59,930 --> 01:09:00,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's correct, Your Honor.

1124
01:09:00,930 --> 01:09:04,930
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero ilan yung nag-iintay pa ng funding?

1125
01:09:04,930 --> 01:09:07,930
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Qualified na pero nag-iintay pa ng funding?

1126
01:09:07,930 --> 01:09:17,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Mga, there are about 100,000 still waiting and entitled to the promotions, Your Honor.

1127
01:09:17,250 --> 01:09:23,250
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. So, in other words, may qualified na sila, 100,000.

1128
01:09:23,250 --> 01:09:26,250
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: They went through the process pero nag-iintay pa ng funding.

1129
01:09:26,250 --> 01:09:27,250
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So...

1130
01:09:28,250 --> 01:09:31,250
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kailan po sila mapupondohan?

1131
01:09:31,250 --> 01:09:36,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In 2027, Your Honor, because we only have 6 billion for this year, Your Honor.

1132
01:09:36,250 --> 01:09:41,250
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. So, again, for 2027, ang target niyo po ay...

1133
01:09:41,250 --> 01:09:43,250
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: That's good for...

1134
01:09:43,250 --> 01:09:45,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 135,000, Your Honor.

1135
01:09:45,250 --> 01:09:51,250
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 135,000. So, yung 100,000 dun ay para lang dun sa backlog.

1136
01:09:51,250 --> 01:09:52,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Opo.

1137
01:09:52,250 --> 01:09:57,250
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, in effect, for 2027, the new promotions will be for 35,000.

1138
01:09:57,250 --> 01:09:58,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor.

1139
01:09:58,250 --> 01:10:04,250
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. So, medyo maglilimit muna for 2027.

1140
01:10:04,250 --> 01:10:08,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tama ho. Nag-ahabol talaga tayo dahil for many years, wala hong na-promote.

1141
01:10:08,250 --> 01:10:13,250
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tama naman po iyon. At mabuti po at napatutupad na ito.

1142
01:10:13,250 --> 01:10:21,250
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Just a particular concern regarding headteachers.

1143
01:10:21,250 --> 01:10:27,530
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: May mga headteacher na school head na nagpaabot sa atin.

1144
01:10:27,530 --> 01:10:34,530
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nagpaabot sa atin na niri-reassign na sila away from being school heads.

1145
01:10:34,530 --> 01:10:46,530
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Samantala, sa inyong guidelines, they have, I think, 2 years more na manatili sila at magpa-qualify bilang principal.

1146
01:10:46,530 --> 01:10:53,530
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, pwede po bang ma-reiterate yung policy na iyon? Kasi nga ang concern nila, ba't inaalis na sila?

1147
01:10:53,530 --> 01:10:56,530
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Niri-reassign na sila from being school heads.

1148
01:10:56,530 --> 01:11:03,530
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's purely voluntary, I believe, Your Honor. And they're allowed 2 years. That's what the law provides, Your Honor.

1149
01:11:03,530 --> 01:11:14,530
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero meron nga mga divisions na nagpaabot sa amin na involuntarily niri-reassign sila or may banta na niri-reassign na sila.

1150
01:11:14,530 --> 01:11:17,530
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We will reiterate the policy, Your Honor.

1151
01:11:17,530 --> 01:11:23,530
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Thank you, please. Dahil nagpaabot po iyong mga headteachers. Okay.

1152
01:11:23,530 --> 01:11:24,530
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaugnay po

1153
01:11:24,530 --> 01:11:25,530
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa teacher shortage.

1154
01:11:25,530 --> 01:11:26,530
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So,

1155
01:11:26,530 --> 01:11:42,530
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung classroom shortage, 166,000. Kanina you mentioned 140,000. Okay. So, meron kayong figure. Pero sa teacher shortage, wala tayong concrete number and target.

1156
01:11:51,300 --> 01:12:01,350
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Madam Chair, Your Honor, the shortage is 14,274 teachers, costing around 4.29 billion. So, this is part of the wish list we mentioned earlier, Your Honor.

1157
01:12:02,350 --> 01:12:03,350
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So sa inyong bilang

1158
01:12:03,350 --> 01:12:04,350
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay 14,000

1159
01:12:04,350 --> 01:12:05,350
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na lamang,

1160
01:12:05,350 --> 01:12:06,350
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 14,274

1161
01:12:06,350 --> 01:12:07,350
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na lamang

1162
01:12:07,350 --> 01:12:08,610
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang

1163
01:12:08,610 --> 01:12:09,450
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: shortage.

1164
01:12:12,070 --> 01:12:13,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: As of the

1165
01:12:13,190 --> 01:12:15,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 2025 statistics,

1166
01:12:15,290 --> 01:12:15,510
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

1167
01:12:15,810 --> 01:12:16,010
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

1168
01:12:17,630 --> 01:12:18,290
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At ito,

1169
01:12:18,290 --> 01:12:19,070
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ito ay hindi pa

1170
01:12:19,070 --> 01:12:19,830
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: napopondohan

1171
01:12:19,830 --> 01:12:21,030
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa inyong proposal.

1172
01:12:21,190 --> 01:12:21,770
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Walang pondo

1173
01:12:21,770 --> 01:12:22,410
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa inyong proposal?

1262
01:14:04,970 --> 01:14:05,690
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na hindi

1263
01:14:05,690 --> 01:14:06,630
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na-punan?

1264
01:14:06,970 --> 01:14:07,510
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: You're correct,

1265
01:14:07,590 --> 01:14:07,810

01:14:09,990 --> 01:14:11,130
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: positions dyan.

01:14:11,630 --> 01:14:12,470
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Wala talagang takers,

01:14:12,610 --> 01:14:13,090

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

1278
01:14:19,730 --> 01:14:20,330
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Because siguro,

1279
01:14:20,950 --> 01:14:22,810
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung field

1280
01:14:22,810 --> 01:14:24,050
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: for a start

1281
01:14:24,050 --> 01:14:25,450
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: is very narrow already.

1282
01:14:25,750 --> 01:14:26,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Iilan lang

1283
01:14:26,150 --> 01:14:26,890
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ang nakakatapos

1284
01:14:26,890 --> 01:14:27,130
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng

1285
01:14:27,130 --> 01:14:28,390
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ang qualified

1286
01:14:28,390 --> 01:14:29,890
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na guidance counselor

1287
01:14:29,890 --> 01:14:31,270
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pursuant to the

1288
01:14:31,270 --> 01:14:33,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: professional requirement

1289
01:14:33,370 --> 01:14:34,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: which requires

01:14:34,010 --> 01:14:34,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: a master's degree,

1291
01:14:35,050 --> 01:14:35,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

1292
01:14:35,550 --> 01:14:35,770
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So,

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: iilan lang po talaga.

1294
01:14:37,590 --> 01:14:37,850
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And,

1295
01:14:38,310 --> 01:14:38,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I guess for those

1296
01:14:38,930 --> 01:14:39,590
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: who graduate with

1297
01:14:39,590 --> 01:14:40,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: a master's degree,

01:14:40,490 --> 01:14:41,790
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: naliliitan sila sa sweldo,

01:14:42,130 --> 01:14:42,430

01:14:42,530 --> 01:14:42,830
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

1301
01:14:43,410 --> 01:14:43,910
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Chair,

1302
01:14:43,930 --> 01:14:44,710
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Chair,

1303
01:14:44,790 --> 01:14:45,170
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: naalala ko,

1304
01:14:45,290 --> 01:14:46,170
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ito rin yung tanong natin

1305
01:14:46,170 --> 01:14:46,630
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: last year,

1306
01:14:46,710 --> 01:14:47,910
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ito rin yung sagot,

1307
01:14:48,010 --> 01:14:49,290
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and na-mention na may

1308
01:14:49,290 --> 01:14:50,250
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: long-term plan

1309
01:14:50,250 --> 01:14:51,710
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na may implementation

1310
01:14:51,710 --> 01:14:52,810
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: that will cost

1311
01:14:52,810 --> 01:14:54,230
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: over a trillion pesos.

1312
01:14:54,710 --> 01:14:55,270
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Pwede po bang

1313
01:14:55,270 --> 01:14:56,430
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: makareceive ng copy

1314
01:14:56,430 --> 01:14:57,130
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng plan na to?

1315
01:14:57,290 --> 01:14:57,610
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Will it,

1316
01:14:58,770 --> 01:14:59,370
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ano po bang

1317
01:14:59,370 --> 01:15:00,160
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: kailangan gawin?

1318
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:11,880
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Para mas mataas yung supply and even yung takers ng ating mga psychology courses, ito po ba yung kasama at papasok sa plan na binapropose ng Department of Education?

1319
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:18,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, we're trying to, the long-term plan is really to create a pipeline of mental health professionals, Your Honor.

1320
01:15:18,700 --> 01:15:21,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think that's the vision also of the law that Congress passed.

1321
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:25,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, hindi tayo dead-end sa guidance counselors lang.

1322
01:15:25,940 --> 01:15:29,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We have positions like guidance counselor associate, school counselor associate.

1323
01:15:30,260 --> 01:15:32,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Para there is a progression.

1324
01:15:32,540 --> 01:15:41,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But at some point, we also have to discuss with DBM raising the salary scales for these professionals because yung market forces are not working in our favor, Your Honor.

1325
01:15:43,140 --> 01:15:46,940
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And siguro yung last question on this line of inquiry.

1326
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:54,300
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: May, as you said, 10,000 guidance counselor associates ang kanilang target this year na at naaprubahan ng DBM.

1327
01:15:54,300 --> 01:15:59,980
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And in their presentation, 1,800 SCAs and 221 SDO counselors.

1328
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,360
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Lang ang nakalaan for FY2027.

1329
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:03,600
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Is this correct?

1330
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:08,940
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And are we expecting that these 10,000 SCA roles will be filled by this year, 2026?

1331
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:13,100
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Kaya halos 20% na lang ng target ang nakalaan para sa susunod na taon?

1332
01:16:13,460 --> 01:16:13,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor.

1333
01:16:14,020 --> 01:16:15,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We're working on that.

1334
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:22,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And as mentioned earlier, during an earlier [unclear], we shortened the period for hiring, which normally takes three to four months.

1335
01:16:22,340 --> 01:16:26,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ginawa na lang natin 30 days para talagang ma-irush natin i-fill yung mga posisyon.

1336
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:35,940
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: If once available, Madam Chair, we'd like to request a copy ng progress report ng hiring para ma-fill itong 10,000 positions.

1337
01:16:36,180 --> 01:16:37,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We will be happy to provide it, Your Honor.

1338
01:16:38,100 --> 01:16:38,840
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Thank you, Madam Chair.

1339
01:16:39,220 --> 01:16:48,260
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Chair, my next question would be in relation tungkol po sa effect ng mga mental health issues na to,

1340
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:54,220
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: yung dire need of the mental health programs because nakikita na po natin yung consequences niya,

1341
01:16:54,220 --> 01:16:55,220
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: which is kung ang kabataan ay hindi po...

1342
01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:06,900
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: natutukan na whether that's at the school, at the community, at the home, may confusion, may pain, may mental health issues na nararanasan sila.

1343
01:17:07,020 --> 01:17:12,400
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At nakita natin recently yung externalizing nitong pain and confusion na to in the form of school shooting.

1344
01:17:12,820 --> 01:17:18,020
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At syempre nakikidalamhati tayo sa lahat ng mga biktima ng trahedyang ito, ngunit hindi sapat yung dalamhati.

1345
01:17:18,020 --> 01:17:26,180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Kung hindi, nag-re-reflect po ito ng real reality na consequence ng kakulangan ng budget sa pamahalaan.

1346
01:17:26,180 --> 01:17:33,140
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Chair, I'd like to ask for an update tungkol po sa school shooting drills na isinagawa nung September 3.

1347
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:38,960
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Pwede po bang malaman kung paano po napupondohan at nasusuportahan ng Department of Education yung mga drills na ito?

1348
01:17:41,340 --> 01:17:45,530
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It comes from the school MOOE, Your Honor.

1349
01:17:48,270 --> 01:17:49,810
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Not OSEC, Madam Chair.

1350
01:17:50,410 --> 01:17:51,270
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: No, no, ma'am.

1351
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:03,430
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Pero is it plugged under the MOOE or [unclear]?

1352
01:18:03,430 --> 01:18:05,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: MOOE, ma'am, ang funding source niya.

1353
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:07,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And maganda naman ho, dahil...

1354
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:24,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: If you will recall, Madam Chair, Your Honor, we postponed the school drill in response to the call of the Psychiatrists Association na huwag na sanang tumuloy because of the possible trauma.

1355
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:31,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So we toned down the drill just to ensure that there is a system response, Your Honor.

1356
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Mahirap naman ho yung talagang magulat tayo kung nangyari.

1357
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Alam na natin nangyari, tapos hindi pa natin paghahandaan.

1358
01:18:38,100 --> 01:18:38,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ang gusto talaga nila.

1359
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:40,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, huwag mag-drill at all.

1360
01:18:40,660 --> 01:18:48,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But we met with them and lahat nung suggestions, as many of their suggestions that we could incorporate, inincorporate po natin.

1361
01:18:48,980 --> 01:18:50,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And tama ko kayo.

1362
01:18:51,460 --> 01:18:54,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Siguro, we should have paid more attention to this earlier.

1363
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:57,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And there's a lot...

1364
01:18:57,220 --> 01:18:59,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And I mentioned earlier yung use of social media.

1365
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:02,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: This is really something which hurts our youth, Your Honor.

1366
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:06,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: The unabashed and unrestricted use of social media.

1367
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:08,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Not all social media.

1368
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:10,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor, I want to qualify.

1369
01:19:10,260 --> 01:19:16,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But social media which introduces our youth to pernicious influences.

1370
01:19:17,060 --> 01:19:20,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung tinatawag na nihilistic violent associations.

1371
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:23,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung 764, which we saw in the Tacloban shooting.

1372
01:19:23,980 --> 01:19:25,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung mga terrorist groups.

1373
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:30,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung osaek or sexual predators.

1374
01:19:31,220 --> 01:19:32,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So these are all...

1375
01:19:32,260 --> 01:19:34,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Sabi nga nila, a sociologist said,

1376
01:19:34,420 --> 01:19:38,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We've been so busy protecting our children.

1377
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:43,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: From external influences, we forgot to protect them internally, Your Honor.

1378
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And so it's time to, again, play catch up.

1379
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:48,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And I thank you for your concern.

1380
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:54,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think this is probably one of the most important issues DepEd has to face, in addition to the learning outcomes.

1381
01:19:54,740 --> 01:19:56,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In trying to improve our learning outcomes.

1382
01:19:56,740 --> 01:19:59,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Building the sense of community in a school.

1383
01:19:59,740 --> 01:20:04,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But we have to say, we need the help of the whole society.

1384
01:20:04,440 --> 01:20:06,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We are willing to do our share.

1385
01:20:06,440 --> 01:20:08,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But we also need parents to be involved.

1386
01:20:08,440 --> 01:20:10,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We need families to be involved.

1387
01:20:10,440 --> 01:20:12,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We need the barangays to be involved.

1388
01:20:12,440 --> 01:20:18,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasi nga, yung pangalawang tahanan yung mga skwelahan.

1389
01:20:18,440 --> 01:20:24,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero hindi natin makontrol yung ginagawa sa pangunahing tahanan, Your Honor, Madam Chair.

1390
01:20:24,440 --> 01:20:34,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Chair, can I ask kung na-finalize na po ba ng DepEd yung guidelines na binababa niya sa mga schools sa paggawa ng mga drills?

1391
01:20:34,440 --> 01:20:36,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So siyempre, na-appreciate natin

1392
01:20:36,440 --> 01:20:37,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: yung

1393
01:20:37,440 --> 01:20:38,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: adjustment

1394
01:20:38,440 --> 01:20:39,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na hindi na po siya

1395
01:20:39,440 --> 01:20:42,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: active shooter drills.

1396
01:20:42,440 --> 01:20:54,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: I'd like to note ang studies po na nakita natin from the United States itself na nagkondukt ng mga drills na ito and mas frequent yung shooting na nangyayari sa kanila.

1397
01:20:54,440 --> 01:20:59,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: May caution na pinapa-emphasize sa lahat ng mga magiging implementing

1398
01:20:59,440 --> 01:21:02,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: agencies ng mga drills na ito.

1399
01:21:02,440 --> 01:21:07,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: because the effectiveness of these is thin and difficult to establish while evidence of psychological and behavioral harm.

1400
01:21:07,440 --> 01:21:13,040
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and behavioral harm namely fear traumatic stress response the disproportionate impact on students

1401
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:19,140
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: with disabilities and prior trauma is real and growing this is from a 2024 consensus report

1402
01:21:19,140 --> 01:21:25,160
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: of the u.s national academies of sciences so i'd like to ask madam chair are these studies

1403
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:31,600
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: now taken into consideration? Meron po bang final guidelines na pwedeng ma-share sa body?

1404
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:37,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And siyempre, paano yung communications ng iba't ibang stakeholders

1405
01:21:37,440 --> 01:21:44,840
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na naging reason kung bakit nag-reconsider ang DepEd sa prior plan of active shooter drills? Madam Chair.

1406
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:52,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Madam Chair. Thank you. Nag-issue na po tayo, and this issuance took into account the outputs

1407
01:21:52,100 --> 01:21:58,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of the medical associations, as you mentioned, Your Honor, at pinakita rin namin sa kanila yung issuances natin.

1408
01:21:58,620 --> 01:22:01,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: uh but definitely we're

1409
01:22:01,580 --> 01:22:07,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: it's it's i think it's still a work in progress in the sense that it's it's all new to us

1410
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:13,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and uh we're really trying to get the right balance because uh uh admittedly it uh it's

1411
01:22:13,860 --> 01:22:21,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: a very delicate uh uh subject your honor and uh um there's no saying how an an individual

1412
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:26,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: student will react to such a drill so uh we're and we're willing to i think what's important

1413
01:22:26,460 --> 01:22:31,360
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: is that DepEd is willing to iterate and change approaches over time to see what really is

1414
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:31,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: effective.

1415
01:22:31,580 --> 01:22:37,040
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Your Honor. Madam Chair, as a final manifestation, if I may be allowed, this

1416
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:43,360
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: representation is of the firm belief that the solution to ensure that this doesn't happen again

1417
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:50,300
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: should be more funding for our mental health programs so we welcome yung finally my item na

1418
01:22:50,300 --> 01:22:53,040
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: for the mental health and guidance counseling program

1419
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:53,460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Baka po pwede ring

1420
01:22:53,460 --> 01:23:01,420
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: makapag-send kung may kulang pa na hindi na-include sa 464 million na ito. Try nating ihabol.

1421
01:23:01,420 --> 01:23:01,540
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: But

1422
01:23:01,540 --> 01:23:10,420
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: but uh studies have shown and we have to carefully scrutinize them as well that securitizing the

1423
01:23:10,420 --> 01:23:17,920
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: school model does not work in fact there are studies that uh provide that police presence

1424
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:28,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: in school are actually far more likely to um encourage uh misbehavior and uh has measurable

1425
01:23:28,820 --> 01:23:31,380
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: outcomes of further

1426
01:23:31,380 --> 01:23:39,700
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: criminalization than uh safety so to that end now the current uh proposal of metal detectors

1427
01:23:39,700 --> 01:23:46,100
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: drills, cops in hallways, is hopefully hindi natin i-adopt with more confidence than the

1428
01:23:46,100 --> 01:23:51,220
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: evidence supports, and at real and measurable cost to the young people it claims to protect.

1429
01:23:51,220 --> 01:23:58,660
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: madam chair we're hoping na yung budget no um lumabas for mental health programs and not for

1430
01:23:58,660 --> 01:24:01,220
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: a securitizing the school model framework

1431
01:24:01,380 --> 01:24:04,590
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: yun lang naman po madam chair thank you very much

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: na rin

1459
01:25:01,060 --> 01:25:21,780
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: malinaw sa ating mga bagong graduates at late passers, kapag may available teaching position, ano po ba ang proseso saan makikita ng applicants ang lahat na available position at ang resulta ng kanilang assessment or ranking?

1460
01:25:21,780 --> 01:25:34,680
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Tinatanong po natin ito dahil sa katandawanis po, proud tayo na marami tayong education na graduates, late passers, at mahusay na teachers.

1461
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:46,040
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Pero nakakatanggap po tayo ng report na may applicants na sinasabing walang available na plantilla item.

1462
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:51,760
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Pero kalaunan may mga na-hire.

1463
01:25:51,780 --> 01:26:13,040
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: May reklamo rin po na hindi pinapakita sa aplikante ang ranking at ang nakakalungkot pa, may allegation patabi, may allegation na may teaching slot daw na ibinibinta o hiningian ng kapalit.

1464
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:20,040
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Nangyayari pa pa po ito sa atin ngayon? May kaparyong concern din po pagdating sa promosyon.

1465
01:26:21,780 --> 01:26:34,680
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Na kagaya po na sinabi ng ating buting sekretary na may pundo naman po ito, may mga qualified personnel pero hindi naging malinaw sa kanila ang ranking basis o seleksyon kung bakit may ibang napipili.

1466
01:26:36,020 --> 01:26:49,940
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Namumonitor ba ito ng DPED ang ganitong mga cases? Paano po natin sinisiguro na lahat ng vacancies, ranking selections, at appointments ay transparent at naayon sa merit ng qualification?

1467
01:26:51,780 --> 01:27:03,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you, Madam Chair, Your Honor. Maraming hong tanong doon. But you're talking about two different things, Your Honor, yung teaching at saka yung promotions, yung teaching items at saka yung promotions.

1472
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:32,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, ang naging priority dyan is first in, first out po talaga.

1473
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:42,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pagka sino yung talagang unang mag-process, kung sino yung masigasig na mag-process ng division, usually yun ang nakakuha ng pondo na nasa region.

1474
01:27:44,740 --> 01:27:51,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And doon naman po sa sinabi ninyong items for sale, meron hong na kami nakita dyan sa Palawan, sa Eastern Samar.

1475
01:27:51,780 --> 01:27:57,320

1476
01:27:57,480 --> 01:28:00,000

1477
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:01,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Sorry, we've dismissed pala, hindi lang suspended.

1478
01:28:02,420 --> 01:28:07,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We've dismissed both SDS or school division superintendent in both cases.

1479
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:16,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kaya pag meron po kayong nakita at i-report niyo po sa amin, mag-iimbestiga po kami dito dahil hindi natin policy yan sa department.

1480
01:28:16,900 --> 01:28:21,740
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Siguro, Mr. Secretary, Madam Chair, siguro mag-iimbestiga.

1481
01:28:21,780 --> 01:28:27,780
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Mag-iimbestiga na lang tayo kasi may mga narinig lang tayo.

1482
01:28:28,820 --> 01:28:35,840
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: So, bala na po ang department na mag-iimbestiga po sa...

1483
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:46,020
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Kasi po, sana po, matinan agad ito ng dipid, mga ganitong reklamo, lalo na sa aming probinsya.

1484
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:51,760
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Napakarami pong qualified teacher pero hindi po sila nabibigyan ng patas ng pagkakatawad.

1485
01:28:51,780 --> 01:28:52,420
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: So, sayang po.

1486
01:28:53,180 --> 01:28:55,060
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: At napipilitan sila mga ibang bansa.

1487
01:28:56,620 --> 01:29:01,660
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: So, pumasok sa trabawang hindi naman po nila pinag-aralan.

1488
01:29:02,540 --> 01:29:07,620
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: So, sayang po, ang talento na dapat sana ay nasa ating classroom po sila.

1489
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:18,060
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Madam Chair, ina-acknowledge ko rin po ang import ng ating dipid na tugunan ang classroom shortage.

1490
01:29:18,060 --> 01:29:21,500
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Pero habang tinuturugunan po natin ito, sana hindi po.

1491
01:29:21,780 --> 01:29:30,700
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Sana hindi po nila pinuturugunan ng repair, improvement ng ating existing school, lalo yung nasira nung nakarambag at habagat.

1492
01:29:32,300 --> 01:29:44,140
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Magkano po ang proposed 2027 budget na nakalampara sa repair, rehabilitation ng existing school, including improvements gaya ng CRs, hand-washing water, sanitation facilities?

1493
01:29:45,260 --> 01:29:49,460
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Sapat po ba ang budget natin dito para sa target nating makumplis?

1494
01:29:49,580 --> 01:29:51,140
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Paano po ang prioritization?

1495
01:29:51,780 --> 01:29:59,920
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Dito natin sa mga nangailangan ng tulong, sana po ay priority natin ang disaster-prone provinces.

1496
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:01,660
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: gaya po namin sa Katanduanes

1776
01:39:57,900 --> 01:39:58,520

1781
01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:10,020

1784
01:40:13,260 --> 01:40:15,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: co-chair na lang po tayo. The lead agency

1785
01:40:15,380 --> 01:40:17,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: is the DILG. So, it's

1786
01:40:17,320 --> 01:40:19,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: now lodged as an attached agency of

1787
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:21,320

1788
01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:22,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng DEPED, nandyan dyan pa po

1789

01:40:31,080 --> 01:40:33,140

1794
01:40:33,220 --> 01:40:33,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

1796
01:40:36,960 --> 01:40:38,960

1797
01:40:40,740 --> 01:40:41,180

1798
01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:43,020

1800
01:40:45,060 --> 01:40:45,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng

1801
01:40:45,440 --> 01:40:47,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: malnutrition

1802
01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:51,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and stunting sa, nakita natin yan

1803
01:40:51,060 --> 01:40:52,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: sa FNRI survey.

1804
01:40:52,980 --> 01:40:54,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, maganda nga yung school feeding program natin,

1805
01:40:55,060 --> 01:40:57,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pero yung, sabi nga ng mga eksperto,

1806
01:40:57,980 --> 01:41:00,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Good morning,

1807
01:41:00,760 --> 01:41:02,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Chairman Miro.

1808
01:41:03,140 --> 01:41:04,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Nakita natin sa mga

1809
01:41:04,560 --> 01:41:07,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pag-aaral

1810
01:41:07,220 --> 01:41:09,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na yung most effective feeding

1811
01:41:09,020 --> 01:41:10,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: is in the early child years, Your Honor.

1812
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:13,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, ang isang proposal namin sa Kongreso

1813
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:14,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: is i-amend yung

1814
01:41:14,440 --> 01:41:15,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: school feeding law.

1815
01:41:17,100 --> 01:41:18,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil, merong mga bakanti

1816
01:41:18,920 --> 01:41:20,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ho dun eh. Merong may funding for

1817
01:41:21,060 --> 01:41:22,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 2 to 3, pero wala yung

1818
01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:24,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: or 3 to, may isang taon

1819
01:41:24,920 --> 01:41:26,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na wala dun, hindi nababanggit sa.

1820
01:41:26,940 --> 01:41:28,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At saka kung makita ho natin,

1821
01:41:28,780 --> 01:41:30,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung

1822
01:41:30,660 --> 01:41:32,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: porsyento ng kabataan

1823
01:41:32,580 --> 01:41:35,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na nasa daycare centers, ay maliit

1824
01:41:35,020 --> 01:41:36,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: kumpara sa total population.

1825
01:41:36,780 --> 01:41:39,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, naglalaro yan sa 19 to 29%.

1826
01:41:39,380 --> 01:41:40,360
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, definitely,

1827
01:41:41,060 --> 01:41:42,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: dapat nga mas maging masigasig

1828
01:41:42,640 --> 01:41:44,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung pag-suporta natin sa

1829
01:41:44,700 --> 01:41:46,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ECCD. At syempre, dapat mas

1830
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:48,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: maging masigasig din sila sa pag-implementa

1831
01:41:49,540 --> 01:41:50,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng kanilang mga program.

1832
01:41:51,060 --> 01:41:53,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor. Perhaps not

1833
01:41:53,060 --> 01:41:54,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: a council, maybe you can look into

1834
01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:56,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: creating a full-time body

1835
01:41:56,240 --> 01:41:58,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to really look at it. Kasi,

1836
01:41:59,060 --> 01:41:59,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ang dami pa rin

1837
01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:02,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 4th, 5th class municipalities na walang

1838
01:42:02,940 --> 01:42:06,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: daycare centers.

1839
01:42:07,460 --> 01:42:07,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So,

1840
01:42:08,380 --> 01:42:09,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hirap din si DSWD bagdili.

1841
01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:11,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Sila po yung in-charge dun sa feeding

1842
01:42:11,820 --> 01:42:14,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: below 5 years old, along with

1843
01:42:14,140 --> 01:42:16,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the National Nutrition Council. So, yung

1844
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:18,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: mga programa na first 1,000 days,

1845
01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:19,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung programa na

1846
01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:22,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: supplemental feeding,

1847
01:42:22,340 --> 01:42:24,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hindi, manaiba po yun

1848
01:42:24,500 --> 01:42:26,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: sa school feeding, yun ang mga dapat na

1849
01:42:26,300 --> 01:42:27,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: programang palakasin ho.

1850
01:42:29,510 --> 01:42:31,890
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: So, bottom line,

1851
01:42:32,290 --> 01:42:34,190
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: talagang kailangan pa siya.

1852
01:42:34,550 --> 01:42:34,970
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kailang,

1853
01:42:35,790 --> 01:42:37,830
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: mayroon tayong

1854
01:42:37,830 --> 01:42:39,470
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: kailangang amindahan na batas

1855
01:42:39,470 --> 01:42:40,630
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: para doon sa pondo.

1856
01:42:42,250 --> 01:42:43,650
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Maganda amin, dagdagan

1857
01:42:43,650 --> 01:42:44,890
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng pondo. Maganda rin,

1858
01:42:45,090 --> 01:42:47,490
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: siguro yung monitoring, dahil

1859
01:42:47,490 --> 01:42:49,510
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung responsibility, parang ano siya,

1860
01:42:49,630 --> 01:42:51,430
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: scattered. May responsibility

1861
01:42:51,430 --> 01:42:53,630
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: si LGU para mag-construct ng daycare

1862
01:42:53,630 --> 01:42:55,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: center, may responsibility

1863
01:42:55,190 --> 01:42:57,490
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: si DSWD na magpakain,

1864
01:42:57,710 --> 01:42:59,070
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pero parang walang

1865
01:42:59,070 --> 01:43:01,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: isang agency na nakatoka sa lahat.

1866
01:43:01,510 --> 01:43:03,390
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's theoretically the ECCD Council,

1867
01:43:03,790 --> 01:43:05,450
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pero walang masyadong coercive powers

1868
01:43:05,450 --> 01:43:07,350
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ang ECCD Council,

1869
01:43:07,550 --> 01:43:08,270
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: kung tutusin natin.

1870
01:43:08,650 --> 01:43:11,250
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Thank you, Sik, for the input.

1871
01:43:11,670 --> 01:43:13,570
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Doon sa non-teaching natin,

1872
01:43:13,730 --> 01:43:15,350
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: kasi ito yung pinakamalapit

1873
01:43:15,350 --> 01:43:17,210
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: sa puso ko, noong

1874
01:43:17,210 --> 01:43:19,510
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: first term ko dito, kami ni

1875
01:43:19,510 --> 01:43:21,250
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kung

1876
01:43:21,250 --> 01:43:23,010
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Franz Castro talagang

1877
01:43:23,010 --> 01:43:23,590
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: nag-

1878
01:43:23,630 --> 01:43:24,370
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: dito.

1879
01:43:25,990 --> 01:43:27,010
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: May mga

1880
01:43:27,010 --> 01:43:29,650
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: report na kada-thing sa akin na

1881
01:43:29,650 --> 01:43:31,690
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: karamihan cluster,

1882
01:43:31,910 --> 01:43:33,810
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: yung isang non-teaching,

1883
01:43:34,230 --> 01:43:35,490
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: tatlo-apat na eskwilahan,

1884
01:43:35,650 --> 01:43:36,990
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: mayroon po ba tayong ganyan?

1885
01:43:39,270 --> 01:43:40,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tama ho kayo,

1886
01:43:40,430 --> 01:43:41,790
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor, Madam Chair.

1887
01:43:42,090 --> 01:43:43,270
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero by the end of this year,

1888
01:43:43,450 --> 01:43:45,390
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 1 is to 1 na ho. Wala na po yung 1 is to 3.

1889
01:43:46,110 --> 01:43:47,830
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: By the end of this year,

1890
01:43:48,790 --> 01:43:49,870
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: sa buong bansa po yan,

1891
01:43:49,870 --> 01:43:50,620
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Sik?

1892
01:43:50,620 --> 01:43:51,390
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, sir.

1893
01:43:51,750 --> 01:43:53,590
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Hindi natuloy, singilin mo itong

1894
01:43:53,630 --> 01:43:55,410
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: katabi kong bumubulong sa akin.

1895
01:43:56,190 --> 01:43:56,810
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Mr. Chair,

1896
01:43:56,970 --> 01:44:00,310
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kasi yung nag-report sa akin,

1897
01:44:01,210 --> 01:44:01,870
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: para na rin

1898
01:44:01,870 --> 01:44:03,670
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: hindi siya nagtatrabaho, kasi yung

1899
01:44:03,670 --> 01:44:05,470
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: sahod niya, nauubos sa pamasahin.

1900
01:44:05,930 --> 01:44:07,430
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kalipat-lipat sa eskwilahan.

1901
01:44:07,450 --> 01:44:08,690
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's true, Your Honor, I think.

1902
01:44:09,270 --> 01:44:11,030
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tsaka minsan malalayo yung lugar talaga.

1903
01:44:11,430 --> 01:44:13,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So hindi practical talaga na may ganong

1904
01:44:13,710 --> 01:44:15,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: clustering. But it's a temporary

1905
01:44:15,710 --> 01:44:17,770
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: problem, I think we can address it in the future, Your Honor.

1906
01:44:17,870 --> 01:44:19,950
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Thank you. Magandang balita po yan.

1907
01:44:20,790 --> 01:44:21,230
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Finally,

1908
01:44:21,230 --> 01:44:21,630
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: finally,

1909
01:44:21,630 --> 01:44:22,510
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: ah,

1910
01:44:23,630 --> 01:44:24,770
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Madam Chair, no?

1911
01:44:25,390 --> 01:44:27,930

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: niya ng, ano, ng LIT.

1922
01:44:47,810 --> 01:44:49,790
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Walong taon na hindi lang niya alam,

1923
01:44:49,790 --> 01:44:51,030
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: hindi nga niya alam kung

1924
01:44:51,030 --> 01:44:53,090
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: anong resulta sa ranking niya.

1925
01:44:53,630 --> 01:44:54,630
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Sumulat na ako.

2023
01:48:09,910 --> 01:48:11,870
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, it's not as simple as a one, just

2024
01:48:11,870 --> 01:48:13,990
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pointing to one. It's a

2025
01:48:13,990 --> 01:48:15,910
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: combination of factors, Your Honor, and we've seen

2026
01:48:15,910 --> 01:48:17,690
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: schools talaga na kung saan

2027
01:48:17,690 --> 01:48:18,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: matindi yung

2028
01:48:18,930 --> 01:48:22,090
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: guarding of the entry and exit

2029
01:48:22,090 --> 01:48:23,910
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: points. We see a lot of knives

2030
01:48:23,910 --> 01:48:25,910
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: being thrown in the wastebasket,

2031
01:48:26,270 --> 01:48:27,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in the

2032
01:48:27,190 --> 01:48:29,790
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: periphery.

2033
01:48:30,230 --> 01:48:31,850
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, ibig sabihin, kung may

2034
01:48:31,850 --> 01:48:33,790
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: gustong lumusot, at kung wala yung

2035
01:48:33,790 --> 01:48:36,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: mga security items na yun,

2036
01:48:36,430 --> 01:48:38,430
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: baka malamang may mga nakalusot po.

2037
01:48:38,430 --> 01:48:40,430
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In fact, even when we have these

2038
01:48:40,430 --> 01:48:42,130
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: items, or when we have these

2039
01:48:42,130 --> 01:48:44,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: deterrents, sometimes

2040
01:48:44,210 --> 01:48:46,350
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: nilulusotan pa rin po eh. Yung isang

2041
01:48:46,350 --> 01:48:48,110
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: insidente, nilagay po sa sapatos.

2042
01:48:48,710 --> 01:48:50,270
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung isa, nilagay po sa thermos.

2043
01:48:50,410 --> 01:48:52,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kaya tumunog nga sa

2044
01:48:52,010 --> 01:48:54,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: metal detector. Pero, nasa loob

2045
01:48:54,370 --> 01:48:56,310
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng thermos, pinakita lang yung thermos, hindi na tinignan

2046
01:48:56,310 --> 01:48:58,110
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung loob. Yung isa naman, nilagay sa

2047
01:48:58,110 --> 01:49:00,630
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: underwear po. So, talagang

2048
01:49:00,630 --> 01:49:02,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think

2049
01:49:02,710 --> 01:49:04,470
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: they're really individuals

2050
01:49:04,470 --> 01:49:06,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: who really are very determined to harm.

2051
01:49:06,430 --> 01:49:07,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

2052
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:08,570
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: So, I think malaking tulong

2053
01:49:08,570 --> 01:49:09,570
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: pa rin po ito, no,

2054

2058
01:49:18,090 --> 01:49:19,750

01:49:31,350 --> 01:49:34,550
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: utilization rate natin doon sa 10,000?

2066
01:49:35,210 --> 01:49:38,050
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We're in the process

2067
01:49:38,090 --> 01:49:40,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of hiring, Your Honor, because the background

2068
01:49:40,010 --> 01:49:41,750
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to that is we only received the

2069
01:49:41,750 --> 01:49:44,070

01:49:48,250 --> 01:49:49,970

2073
01:49:49,970 --> 01:49:51,910
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: commence the hiring process, Your Honor,

2074
01:49:52,010 --> 01:49:53,910

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: plus 1,800.

2082
01:50:08,090 --> 01:50:09,790
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Pero ang target po ba natin talaga

2083
01:50:09,790 --> 01:50:12,110
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: is one for every school

2084
01:50:12,110 --> 01:50:13,810
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: in the entire country, which is about

2085
01:50:13,810 --> 01:50:15,570
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: 48,000, if I'm not mistaken.

2086
01:50:16,230 --> 01:50:17,510
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tama po kayo. That's correct, Your Honor.

2087
01:50:17,550 --> 01:50:19,970
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: So, yung po ang target natin, 48,000 talaga

2088
01:50:19,970 --> 01:50:22,030
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: na positions. But as of now, we only

2089
01:50:22,030 --> 01:50:24,410
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: have 11,800

2090
01:50:24,410 --> 01:50:26,350
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: for year 2027.

2091
01:50:27,030 --> 01:50:27,990
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Sa tingin niyo po,

2092
01:50:28,110 --> 01:50:30,030
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: kailan natin mahihit yung target

2093
01:50:30,030 --> 01:50:31,930
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: natin na lahat po ng schools

2094
01:50:31,930 --> 01:50:33,710
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: magkaroon ng school

2095
01:50:33,710 --> 01:50:34,950
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: counselor associates?

2096
01:50:35,770 --> 01:50:37,950
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, if we only give 1,800 a year,

2097
01:50:38,090 --> 01:50:40,090
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: it may take us 20 years,

2098
01:50:40,170 --> 01:50:41,530
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor, to reach that.

2099
01:50:42,530 --> 01:50:43,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's the reality.

2100
01:50:43,990 --> 01:50:45,930
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Pero po, ano po yung proposal natin for

2101
01:50:45,930 --> 01:50:46,540
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: NEP 2027?

2102
01:50:46,540 --> 01:50:48,110
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We are asking for each part of our

2103
01:50:48,110 --> 01:50:49,830
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: wish list, Your Honor, to fill up the

2104
01:50:49,830 --> 01:50:52,070
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 30,000 plus schools in the amount

2105
01:50:52,070 --> 01:50:54,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of 11.4 billion. It's part of the wish list.

2106
01:50:54,570 --> 01:51:02,680
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: One school counselor associate

2107
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:03,900
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: per school, no?

2108
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:06,180
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: So, 11.48 billion.

2109
01:51:06,280 --> 01:51:07,360
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's correct, Ma'am.

2110
01:51:08,440 --> 01:51:10,540
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

2111
01:51:10,820 --> 01:51:12,600
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: I think, wala naman po

2112
01:51:12,600 --> 01:51:13,560
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: talagang ano eh.

2113
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:16,440
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Limit yan kung talagang safety po

2114
01:51:16,440 --> 01:51:17,880
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: ng mga bata natin yung

2115
01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:19,400
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: nakasalalay.

2116
01:51:19,940 --> 01:51:21,260
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Aside from that po,

2117
01:51:21,400 --> 01:51:24,200
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Your Honor, last year,

2118
01:51:24,380 --> 01:51:26,080
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: I already raised a concern about

2119
01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:28,340
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: completed and inaugurated

2120
01:51:28,340 --> 01:51:30,300
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: school buildings that still lack

2121
01:51:30,300 --> 01:51:31,840
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: the necessary school furniture.

2122
01:51:32,720 --> 01:51:34,860
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: And I believe for year 2026,

2123
01:51:35,020 --> 01:51:36,040
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: yung mga LGU

2124
01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:37,480
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: implemented

2125
01:51:37,480 --> 01:51:40,120
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: schools may kasama na pong

2126
01:51:40,120 --> 01:51:41,540
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: furniture, am I correct?

2127
01:51:41,540 --> 01:51:43,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's correct. It's supposed to be

2128
01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:44,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: bundled with the schools, Your Honor.

2129
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:46,960
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: However, Your Honor,

2130
01:51:47,200 --> 01:51:49,520
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: in my province po, in the district,

2131
01:51:49,640 --> 01:51:51,900
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: for year 2024, hindi pa rin po

2132
01:51:51,900 --> 01:51:53,280
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: na de-deliver yung mga

2133
01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:55,400
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: furniture natin. And I believe

2134
01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:57,580
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: central office po ang procurement,

2135
01:51:57,800 --> 01:51:58,520
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: am I correct?

2136
01:51:58,520 --> 01:51:59,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We'll coordinate with you, Ma'am,

2137
01:51:59,760 --> 01:52:01,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to address these shortages.

2138
01:52:02,640 --> 01:52:03,320
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Sige po.

2139
01:52:03,680 --> 01:52:05,560
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: And also po, yung mga upcoming

2140
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:07,640
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: din po na 2024 na hindi pa tapos

2141
01:52:07,640 --> 01:52:08,400
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: and 2025,

2142
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:11,620
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: is it also centrally

2143
01:52:11,620 --> 01:52:13,620
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: managed, the procurement?

2144
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:14,740
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: The procurement and the delivery?

2145
01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:19,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's with DPWH, Your Honor, yung completion.

2146
01:52:20,260 --> 01:52:21,640
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Ah, of the furniture?

2147
01:52:22,340 --> 01:52:23,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ah, sorry, sorry.

2148
01:52:23,400 --> 01:52:24,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's for the classrooms, Your Honor.

2149
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:26,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: For the furniture, nasa amin po.

2150
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:30,140
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: May I ask po, ano po yung cause ng mga delay na to?

2151
01:52:33,440 --> 01:52:34,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think nagbago po

2152
01:52:34,380 --> 01:52:35,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng design. And we were

2153
01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:38,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: trying to comply with the executive order

2154
01:52:38,460 --> 01:52:39,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: issued during the time of

2155
01:52:39,940 --> 01:52:42,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: President Arroyo that 20% of

2156
01:52:42,160 --> 01:52:42,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the

2157
01:52:44,760 --> 01:52:46,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: school furniture must be,

2158
01:52:46,160 --> 01:52:47,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: must be engineered bamboo, Your Honor.

2159
01:52:47,860 --> 01:52:49,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, nahirapan kami sourcing it throughout

2160
01:52:49,980 --> 01:52:52,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the country. Parang kulang yung supply po, Your Honor.

2161
01:52:52,500 --> 01:52:54,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, yung po yung nagiging one of

2162
01:52:54,160 --> 01:52:56,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the reasons kung bakit nagkakaroon ng delay.

2163
01:52:56,440 --> 01:52:58,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung 20%

2164
01:52:58,760 --> 01:53:00,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na dapat bamboo ang gamitin

2165
01:53:00,400 --> 01:53:02,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na materials. That's one of the reasons, Your Honor.

2166
01:53:02,700 --> 01:53:03,800
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Ah, okay. So,

2167
01:53:03,960 --> 01:53:05,760
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: can we get, ano po,

2168
01:53:07,460 --> 01:53:09,920
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: assurance po

2169
01:53:09,920 --> 01:53:11,360
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: from the DepEd na

2170
01:53:11,360 --> 01:53:13,800
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: yung mga backlog po, actually

2171
01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:15,920
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: as far as 2018, may mga backlogs

2172
01:53:15,920 --> 01:53:17,960
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: po po kami eh. Dahil naawa din po

2173
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:20,020
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: ako kasi ang ganda-ganda ng mga classrooms natin

2174
01:53:20,020 --> 01:53:22,000
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: and then yung mga tables

2175
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:23,840
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: and chairs, yung mga furniture na ginagamit,

2176
01:53:23,960 --> 01:53:25,980
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: mga luma at mga makeshift lang.

2177
01:53:26,500 --> 01:53:27,760
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Can we get assurance po

2178
01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:28,060
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: from the DepEd?

2179
01:53:28,060 --> 01:53:30,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We assure you, ma'am, that we'll work

2180
01:53:30,040 --> 01:53:32,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: very closely with you to address that.

2181
01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:33,540
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: May pondo po ba for year 2027

2182
01:53:33,540 --> 01:53:35,860
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: for yung mga backlog? Or lahat po yan

2183
01:53:35,860 --> 01:53:37,780
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: napondohan na?

2184
01:53:38,060 --> 01:53:39,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Merong 2.94 billion

2185
01:53:39,780 --> 01:53:41,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: for next year.

2186
01:53:41,940 --> 01:53:45,640
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: But how about po yung mga backlogs?

2187
01:53:46,220 --> 01:53:47,260
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: May need po

2188
01:53:47,260 --> 01:53:48,040
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: ba for additional funding?

2189
01:53:48,040 --> 01:53:51,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: For this year only, we had 3.69

2190
01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:53,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: billion. So, we'll be,

2191
01:53:53,420 --> 01:53:54,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think that's being procured, no?

2192
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:57,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: If I'm not mistaken. So, we'll have a

2193
01:53:57,220 --> 01:53:59,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: new fresh batch of furniture coming in and

2194
01:53:59,100 --> 01:54:01,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we'll make sure there's an allotment for your district.

2195
01:54:01,140 --> 01:54:03,060
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

2196
01:54:04,040 --> 01:54:04,820
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Lastly po,

2197
01:54:05,240 --> 01:54:06,440
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: for the PPP,

2198
01:54:09,440 --> 01:54:10,760
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: ano po yung

2199
01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:12,720
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: selection process and criteria

2200
01:54:12,720 --> 01:54:14,280
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: for choosing which schools

2201
01:54:14,280 --> 01:54:16,120
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: ang mapapasok natin for the PPP?

2202
01:54:16,620 --> 01:54:17,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: For the large,

2203
01:54:17,260 --> 01:54:18,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: largely based on congestion, Your Honor.

2204
01:54:19,240 --> 01:54:21,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, a lot of the first batch of

2205
01:54:21,320 --> 01:54:23,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: PPPs were, I think, urban

2206
01:54:23,500 --> 01:54:25,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: urban-based cities

2207
01:54:25,480 --> 01:54:27,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: kung saan talaga masisikip.

2208
01:54:27,640 --> 01:54:29,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kaya dun sa 1,000 plus sites,

2209
01:54:30,240 --> 01:54:31,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think around 600

2210
01:54:31,320 --> 01:54:33,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: will require demolition. Kasi yun talaga

2211
01:54:33,500 --> 01:54:35,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung walang lupa.

2212
01:54:35,460 --> 01:54:36,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But the

2213
01:54:36,120 --> 01:54:39,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: need keeps growing year after year.

2214
01:54:39,740 --> 01:54:40,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, pag hindi natin

2215
01:54:40,960 --> 01:54:43,360
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: agapan, it will spiral out

2216
01:54:43,360 --> 01:54:44,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of control, Your Honor.

2217
01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:46,000
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: For the PPP po,

2218
01:54:47,260 --> 01:54:48,260
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: saan po magsastart yung

2219
01:54:48,260 --> 01:54:51,180
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: list na under PPP for

2220
01:54:51,180 --> 01:54:51,840
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: 2026?

2221
01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:54,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think we're targeting for

2222
01:54:54,400 --> 01:54:56,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the first 3,000 batch of

2223
01:54:56,980 --> 01:54:58,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: what we call PCIP 3.

2224
01:54:58,920 --> 01:55:00,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Because the first PCIP 1 and 2 were during the

2225
01:55:00,880 --> 01:55:02,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Aquino administration. This is PCIP 3.

2226
01:55:03,920 --> 01:55:05,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's 16,000

2227
01:55:05,060 --> 01:55:07,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: classrooms. The first batch of 3,000, we're hoping

2228
01:55:07,040 --> 01:55:09,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to, or rather all 16,000

2229
01:55:09,260 --> 01:55:11,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we're hoping to award by December

2230
01:55:11,100 --> 01:55:12,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 2026, Your Honor.

2231
01:55:12,360 --> 01:55:14,300
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Thank you very much.

2232
01:55:14,300 --> 01:55:18,280
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Are you aware po,

2233
01:55:18,580 --> 01:55:20,260
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Secretary? Kasi there are a few

2234
01:55:20,260 --> 01:55:22,300
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: school buildings po that were funded

2235
01:55:22,300 --> 01:55:23,720
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: in the GAA and also

2236
01:55:23,720 --> 01:55:26,240
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: funded also under the PPP

2237
01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:28,080
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: for 2026.

2238
01:55:28,240 --> 01:55:29,420
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Paano po natin yan

2239
01:55:29,420 --> 01:55:32,580
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: ma-address yung duplications?

2240
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:34,480
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Because there are some duplications po.

2241
01:55:35,180 --> 01:55:36,280
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Actually, that's the reason why

2242
01:55:36,280 --> 01:55:38,340
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: I'm asking kung paano po na-identify

2243
01:55:38,340 --> 01:55:40,200
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: yung mga PPP. Kasi medyo

2244
01:55:40,200 --> 01:55:42,320
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: nag-double po for some of the

2245
01:55:42,320 --> 01:55:43,660
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: school sites.

2246
01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:45,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Nauna po kasi yung PPP,

2247
01:55:46,080 --> 01:55:48,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: although it's a little slower because

2248
01:55:48,080 --> 01:55:50,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: there are many regulatory approvals,

2249
01:55:50,320 --> 01:55:51,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: nauna po siya. So we're trying to

2250
01:55:51,760 --> 01:55:53,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung mga nakasalang na po doon,

2251
01:55:54,300 --> 01:55:57,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: mahirap na po palitan kasi there's a

2252
01:55:57,120 --> 01:55:58,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: multilateral approval

2253
01:55:58,240 --> 01:56:00,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: necessary. So sana, yun ang

2254
01:56:00,340 --> 01:56:02,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: nandun. Huwag na sanang galawin po

2255
01:56:02,440 --> 01:56:03,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yun. And yung

2256
01:56:03,960 --> 01:56:06,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: GAA na lang yung mga hindi pa napapondohan

2257
01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:08,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng PPP. So that's how it worked out

2258
01:56:08,140 --> 01:56:09,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in context, Your Honor.

2259
01:56:10,200 --> 01:56:11,940
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

2260
01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:14,440

2261
01:56:14,440 --> 01:56:16,120
Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero: finish, I would like to thank DepEd

2290
01:57:11,380 --> 01:57:13,400

01:57:13,400 --> 01:57:15,040
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: in international assessments.

2292
01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:17,240

01:58:15,120 --> 01:58:16,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and more

01:58:16,220 --> 01:58:20,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: knowledgeable.

2322
01:58:20,100 --> 01:58:20,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And,

2323
01:58:20,920 --> 01:58:21,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: skillful,

2324
01:58:21,700 --> 01:58:22,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: your honor.

2325
01:58:22,980 --> 01:58:24,960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Wala po tayong ballpark figure, exactly?

2326
01:58:25,180 --> 01:58:27,320
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Percentage of the total budget

2327
01:58:27,320 --> 01:58:29,000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: is dedicated or

2328
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:30,580
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: allotted to addressing this?

2329
01:58:31,520 --> 01:58:33,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I would say, you're talking

2330
01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:34,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at least about

2331
01:58:34,080 --> 01:58:36,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: maybe

2332
01:58:36,560 --> 01:58:38,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at least 10 billion, your honor.

2333
01:58:38,860 --> 01:58:40,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At least 10 billion, your honor.

2334
01:58:41,620 --> 01:58:43,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Textbooks, you're already talking about

2335
01:58:43,140 --> 01:58:45,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 6 billion. Assessments,

2336
01:58:45,180 --> 01:58:46,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: you're talking about a few billion.

2337
01:58:46,220 --> 01:58:48,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, all of this, in a way,

2338
01:58:48,740 --> 01:58:49,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: influence how we

2339
01:58:49,940 --> 01:58:50,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: will be

2340
01:58:50,920 --> 01:58:52,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: tackling. Even the digitalization,

2341
01:58:52,680 --> 01:58:54,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: you could say that it, although it's

2342
01:58:54,760 --> 01:58:56,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: been cut, it could also work

2343
01:58:56,560 --> 01:58:58,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: towards improving our

2344
01:58:58,100 --> 01:59:00,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: performance in

2345
01:59:00,260 --> 01:59:02,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: assessments like the PISA, because if you

2346
01:59:02,600 --> 01:59:04,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: read the PISA report from 2018

2347
01:59:04,460 --> 01:59:06,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and 2022, very few of our

2348
01:59:06,740 --> 01:59:08,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: learners had access to computers

2349
01:59:08,420 --> 01:59:10,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at that. And this is a computer

2350
01:59:10,500 --> 01:59:12,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: administered exam, your honor.

2351
01:59:13,040 --> 01:59:14,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, some of the efforts of DEPED

2352
01:59:14,660 --> 01:59:15,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: have been geared towards

2353
01:59:15,980 --> 01:59:17,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: providing

2354
01:59:17,060 --> 01:59:20,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: computer access to our

2355
01:59:20,440 --> 01:59:20,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: learners.

2356
01:59:20,920 --> 01:59:22,860
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Should, yes, Mr. Secretary, so that's

2357
01:59:22,860 --> 01:59:24,780
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: about, what, 10% of the

2358
01:59:24,780 --> 01:59:26,920
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: proposed budget? 967

2359
01:59:26,920 --> 01:59:28,560
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: billion, so more or less?

2360
01:59:31,400 --> 01:59:32,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's about 4%

2361
01:59:32,660 --> 01:59:34,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of the DEPED budget, your honor, because

2362
01:59:34,780 --> 01:59:36,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: personnel services, about

2363
01:59:36,780 --> 01:59:38,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 79%. So, if I'm

2364
01:59:38,800 --> 01:59:40,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: talking about the learning systems and curriculum

2365
01:59:40,880 --> 01:59:42,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: strand, that's about 4%, your honor.

2366
01:59:43,140 --> 01:59:44,520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

2367
01:59:45,020 --> 01:59:46,780
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: My next question would be

2368
01:59:46,780 --> 01:59:48,700
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: how do you

2369
01:59:48,700 --> 01:59:50,700
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: evaluate whether interventional

2370
01:59:50,920 --> 01:59:52,700
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: intervention, your interventions, are

2371
01:59:52,700 --> 01:59:54,480
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: producing actual improvements?

2372
01:59:54,820 --> 01:59:56,760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: What tools exactly do

2373
01:59:56,760 --> 01:59:58,680
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: you use? A baseline assessment

2374
01:59:58,680 --> 01:59:59,740
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: tool do you use?

2375
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:04,280
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: to gauge or measure our improvements?

2376
02:00:04,280 --> 02:00:06,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We have the CRLA.

2377
02:00:06,320 --> 02:00:11,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: This is an assessment tool to measure the reading.

2378
02:00:11,680 --> 02:00:15,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: This is the Comprehensive Rapid Literacy Assessment.

2379
02:00:15,180 --> 02:00:18,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We also have the ELNA, or the Early Language Literacy

2380
02:00:18,700 --> 02:00:21,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and Numeracy Assessment.

2381
02:00:21,400 --> 02:00:25,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: This is the assessment tool which

2382
02:00:25,200 --> 02:00:27,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: looks at the learner's foundational skills

2383
02:00:27,160 --> 02:00:30,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in early language, literacy, and numeracy at the end

2384
02:00:30,820 --> 02:00:33,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of Key Stage 1, or grade 3.

2385
02:00:33,580 --> 02:00:35,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So as mentioned, we have the CRLA.

2386
02:00:35,260 --> 02:00:39,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Then we have the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory,

2387
02:00:39,660 --> 02:00:44,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: or FIL-IRI, and Rapid Math Assessment, or RMA.

2388
02:00:44,260 --> 02:00:46,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: These are administered at beginning and the end

2389
02:00:46,640 --> 02:00:49,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of school year to assess the literacy and numeracy

2390
02:00:49,560 --> 02:00:52,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of each learner per grade level from grades 1 to 10.

2391
02:00:52,780 --> 02:00:56,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And the literacy and numeracy knowledge link tests

2392
02:00:56,200 --> 02:00:57,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: are now being piloted.

2393
02:00:57,140 --> 02:01:00,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: This is a harmonized classroom-based assessment

2394
02:01:00,860 --> 02:01:03,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: system from grades 1 to 12 that will

2395
02:01:03,080 --> 02:01:06,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: enable consistent tracking of learner progress in literacy

2396
02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:09,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and numeracy over time.

2397
02:01:09,580 --> 02:01:12,080
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

2398
02:01:12,080 --> 02:01:16,520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: My next question is going to be on digitalization, ICT,

2399
02:01:16,520 --> 02:01:20,200
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: and e-learning infrastructure.

2400
02:01:20,200 --> 02:01:26,640
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: One of the audit observations of COA for 2025 is,

2401
02:01:26,640 --> 02:01:31,080
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: on the computerization program packages,

2402
02:01:31,080 --> 02:01:36,640
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: and for 2027, you are again requesting 5.8 billion

2403
02:01:36,640 --> 02:01:40,980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: for computerization program.

2404
02:01:40,980 --> 02:01:45,100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: How do we, perhaps, ,,

2405
02:01:45,100 --> 02:01:49,800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: what lessons have we learned from the previous ICT

2406
02:01:49,800 --> 02:01:52,980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: implementation failures of that?

2407
02:01:52,980 --> 02:01:56,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, we've addressed that COA, and these computers have been

2408
02:01:56,180 --> 02:01:57,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: fully delivered already, Your Honor.

2409
02:01:57,820 --> 02:02:01,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So these are just snapshots of a moment in time,

2410
02:02:01,060 --> 02:02:03,360
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and we've addressed that.

2411
02:02:03,360 --> 02:02:06,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So we're also improving our tracking system

2412
02:02:06,500 --> 02:02:09,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so we know exactly when the computers are

2413
02:02:09,260 --> 02:02:12,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in the hands of our schools and learners, Your Honor.

2414
02:02:12,860 --> 02:02:15,260
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: OK, thank you, Mr. Secretary.

2415
02:02:15,260 --> 02:02:20,400
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: The next question will be on last mile schools.

2416
02:02:20,400 --> 02:02:24,660
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: How much of the proposed budget for 2027 is allocated,

2417
02:02:24,660 --> 02:02:25,620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Mr. Secretary?

2418
02:02:25,620 --> 02:02:30,220
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: How much of the proposed budget is allocated for construction

2419
02:02:30,220 --> 02:02:36,300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: and repairs of last mile schools to be

2420
02:02:36,300 --> 02:02:40,440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: able to construct typhoon-resilient school

2421
02:02:40,440 --> 02:02:41,940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: buildings?

2422
02:02:41,940 --> 02:02:45,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: The budget for last mile schools is 1.91 billion,

2423
02:02:45,040 --> 02:02:46,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

2424
02:02:46,540 --> 02:02:47,140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: 1.91?

2425
02:02:47,140 --> 02:02:48,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: For 2027.

2426
02:02:48,640 --> 02:02:50,140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: OK.

2427
02:02:50,140 --> 02:02:51,140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: OK.

2428
02:02:51,140 --> 02:02:55,620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Since I still have a few minutes left, ang sunod ko po sigurong katanungan,

2429
02:02:55,620 --> 02:03:02,460
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Mr. Secretary, meron po ba tayong data tungkol po ito sa ALS?

2430
02:03:02,460 --> 02:03:08,160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: On re-enrollment target metrics po natin, meron po ba tayong target percentage

2431
02:03:08,160 --> 02:03:12,040
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: of ALS graduates na, that are projected

2432
02:03:12,040 --> 02:03:17,000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: to transition into higher education or technical

2433
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:21,140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: vocational training or formal employment?

2434
02:03:21,140 --> 02:03:24,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I'm sure we have it, but I don't have it right now, Madam Chair.

2435
02:03:24,620 --> 02:03:25,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: If you give us a minute, we will.

2436
02:03:25,620 --> 02:03:29,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We have some time to get the data, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

2437
02:03:29,620 --> 02:03:30,220
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you.

2438
02:03:30,220 --> 02:03:31,460
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you very much.

2439
02:03:31,460 --> 02:03:36,340
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: I will be glad to receive such information as soon as time

2440
02:03:36,340 --> 02:03:36,840
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: possible.

2441
02:03:36,840 --> 02:03:37,840
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you.

2442
02:03:37,840 --> 02:03:43,180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Tungkol naman po ito, may arrears pa po ba tayo sa mga private schools?

2443
02:03:43,180 --> 02:03:48,280
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Ano po ang total balance natin on unpaid vouchers or backlogs owed

2444
02:03:48,280 --> 02:03:53,780
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: to private participating schools under the SHS voucher program

2445
02:03:53,780 --> 02:03:54,740
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: and ESC?

2446
02:03:54,740 --> 02:03:55,620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Malalaki.

2447
02:03:55,620 --> 02:03:56,620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: At meron po ba

2448
02:03:56,620 --> 02:03:57,620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: allocations for 2027

2449
02:03:57,620 --> 02:04:04,600
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: to fully liquidate these outstanding obligations?

2450
02:04:04,600 --> 02:04:07,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Maliit na lang po yung balanse.

2451
02:04:07,160 --> 02:04:09,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's less than 10 million, Your Honor.

2452
02:04:09,920 --> 02:04:14,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's very small compared to the past.

2453
02:04:14,300 --> 02:04:15,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We have 38 billion.

2454
02:04:15,460 --> 02:04:22,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's the total for vouchers and the [unclear] budget for the vouchers, Your Honor, 38 billion

2455
02:04:22,940 --> 02:04:23,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: for 2027.

2456
02:04:23,940 --> 02:04:24,940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Okay.

2457
02:04:24,940 --> 02:04:28,920
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Okay. Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair, Madam Chair.

2458
02:04:29,080 --> 02:04:30,200
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Iyon lamang po for now.

2459
02:04:30,780 --> 02:04:32,280
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

2460
02:04:32,900 --> 02:04:34,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you. Thank you, Madam.

2461
02:04:34,520 --> 02:04:35,300
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Thank you very much.

2462
02:04:36,240 --> 02:04:39,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Next to ask question is Representative Nelson Legacion.

2463
02:04:40,760 --> 02:04:41,820
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Thank you, Madam Chairman.

2464
02:04:42,500 --> 02:04:45,760
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Magandang umaga po sa ating DepEd Secretary,

2465
02:04:45,980 --> 02:04:48,700
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: sa Angara at sa DepEd family.

2466
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:50,860
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Uunahin ko lang po yung paglilinaw.

2467
02:04:51,580 --> 02:04:54,580
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Dito po sa dokumento na natanggap po namin,

2468
02:04:55,060 --> 02:04:59,420
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: entitled Building on Progress, Transforming Learning,

2469
02:05:00,360 --> 02:05:03,760
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: meron po sa page 8 to 11 na nakasulat,

2470
02:05:04,380 --> 02:05:06,440
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: DepEd Budget Requests.

2471
02:05:07,260 --> 02:05:11,620
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Ito ho ba ay maliban pa doon sa P975 billion?

2472
02:05:12,720 --> 02:05:18,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yan po yung wish list ng DepEd.

2473
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:23,460
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: In other words, kapag ka pinagbigyan po ito ng Kongreso,

2474
02:05:23,940 --> 02:05:28,660
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: both the House of Representatives and the Senate of the Philippines,

2475
02:05:28,880 --> 02:05:35,460
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: kaabot po sa P1.1 trillion yung magiging budget ng DepEd.

2476
02:05:36,160 --> 02:05:36,960
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Mga ganun ho.

2477
02:05:37,360 --> 02:05:37,640
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Okay.

2478
02:05:38,340 --> 02:05:39,940
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Sa akin po, walang problema po yun.

2479
02:05:40,060 --> 02:05:41,340
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Basta may mapagkukuhaan.

2480
02:05:41,340 --> 02:05:44,980
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: And I would like to, this early,

2481
02:05:45,640 --> 02:05:53,640
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: I would like to manifest that I am in full support of this request for additional budget.

2482
02:05:54,180 --> 02:05:58,380
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Now, I will be further talking about,

2483
02:05:58,880 --> 02:06:08,740
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: ah, two matters which I often experience when I was a local chief executive.

2484
02:06:09,580 --> 02:06:17,160
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: I am referring to the maintenance and other operating expenses and capital outlay.

2485
02:06:17,160 --> 02:06:22,980
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Pero yung sa capital outlay, kahit hindi na po siguro kasi marami na pong nagtanong.

2486
02:06:23,540 --> 02:06:27,800
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Pagdating doon po sa MOOE, napansin ko lang po ano,

2487
02:06:28,880 --> 02:06:34,260
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: under the 2026 GAA, nasa 207 billion po siya.

2488
02:06:34,260 --> 02:06:40,900
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Pero sa proposed 2027 budget, nasa 174 billion.

2489
02:06:41,080 --> 02:06:46,040
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: May difference of 33 billion pesos.

2490
02:06:46,960 --> 02:06:51,780
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Ang nakita ko rin po, from doon sa elementary,

2491
02:06:52,340 --> 02:06:56,860
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: yung appropriation per learner for the elementary learners,

2492
02:06:56,860 --> 02:06:59,640
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: dati nasa 2,140.

2493
02:07:00,440 --> 02:07:03,900
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Pero ngayong taon, 2,792.

2494
02:07:04,520 --> 02:07:13,300
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: For high school learners, from 2,784, ngayon ay 3,264.

2495
02:07:13,640 --> 02:07:18,080
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Dahil bumaba po yung MOOE, ang ibig bang sabihin noon,

2496
02:07:18,200 --> 02:07:25,740
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: number one, nagkamali ba tayo sa paghingi ng mataas na budget for MOOE under 2026 GAA?

2497
02:07:26,540 --> 02:07:26,840
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Pangalawa,

2498
02:07:26,860 --> 02:07:34,440
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: yung pagbaba ng MOOE by 33 billion,

2499
02:07:34,740 --> 02:07:38,860
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: hindi kaya maapektuhan ito yung pangailangan ng bawat paaralan?

2500
02:07:43,410 --> 02:07:46,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tama po kayo, Your Honor, Kong Nelson.

2501
02:07:47,270 --> 02:07:53,090
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung mas malaki ho yung allotment for capital outlay and MOOE for 2026 kumpara sa 2027.

2502
02:07:54,730 --> 02:08:00,070
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Parang kinainan ng personal services representing almost 79% of the total.

2503
02:08:00,090 --> 02:08:03,750
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Whereas for this year, it's about 60 plus percent, Your Honor.

2504
02:08:03,870 --> 02:08:15,350
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Pero yung concern ko po yung pagbaba noong MOOE from 207 billion to 174 billion.

2505
02:08:15,610 --> 02:08:20,330
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Pero yung numero naman po ng ating estudyante, halos hindi naman po nagbabago, diba?

2506
02:08:21,790 --> 02:08:25,350
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: And correspondingly, kapag binabaan mo po yung MOOE,

2507
02:08:25,350 --> 02:08:28,090
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: bababa yung allocation per learner.

2508
02:08:28,770 --> 02:08:29,350
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Bababa yung...

2509
02:08:30,090 --> 02:08:33,230
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Yung ibinababa po nating budget sa bawat paaralan.

2510
02:08:33,750 --> 02:08:35,430
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Tama po sila. Apektado po yun.

2511
02:08:37,110 --> 02:08:40,130
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And these items include school feeding, textbooks.

2512
02:08:41,130 --> 02:08:43,590
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So to the extent na nabawasan yun, tama po kayo.

2513
02:08:43,770 --> 02:08:46,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung allocation per learner is affected.

2514
02:08:46,710 --> 02:08:51,570
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: So given that, hindi ba maaring maiakyat ulit, maibalik sa dati?

2515
02:08:52,190 --> 02:08:55,610
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Nasa wish list po namin yun at nasa kamay na po ng mga kongresista.

2516
02:08:55,610 --> 02:08:58,390
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Kasama na po ba yan doon sa 145 billion?

2517
02:08:58,390 --> 02:08:58,750
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasama po.

2518
02:08:58,910 --> 02:08:59,770
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasama na po yan.

2519
02:08:59,770 --> 02:08:59,850
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasama po.

2520
02:09:00,090 --> 02:09:00,690
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Okay, sige.

2521
02:09:01,390 --> 02:09:05,370
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Last point na lang po, Madam Chairman.

2522
02:09:06,070 --> 02:09:09,290
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Patungkol po sa Special Education Fund,

2523
02:09:10,070 --> 02:09:13,470
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: diba meron po dito yung mga lungsod, yung mga probinsya.

2524
02:09:14,130 --> 02:09:17,190
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: At sa tingin ko, several billions of pesos po ito.

2525
02:09:17,430 --> 02:09:19,110
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Kapag sinumada mo.

2526
02:09:19,350 --> 02:09:19,750
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ano yun?

2527
02:09:22,750 --> 02:09:24,750
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Meron namang guidelines na naipalabas.

2528
02:09:25,530 --> 02:09:29,910
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Pero ang tanong ko, yung gamit po ba nito, ay nasusubaybayan ba yan?

2529
02:09:30,090 --> 02:09:31,430
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Sa Department of Education.

2530
02:09:31,670 --> 02:09:35,150
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Kasi sa tingin ko, yung paggamit po ng Special Education Fund,

2531
02:09:35,570 --> 02:09:41,530
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: kinakailangang naka-align po yun sa programs and projects ng Department of Education.

2532
02:09:41,530 --> 02:09:50,670
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: At tinitingnan dapat kung paano ito nakakatulong sa goals, objective ng Department of Education.

2533
02:09:51,670 --> 02:09:59,850
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At tama po kayo, Your Honor, na mahalaga yung SCF at dapat naka-align yun sa mga layunin ng DepEd.

2534
02:10:00,090 --> 02:10:03,310
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But unfortunately, there's such a thing as local autonomy, diba?

2535
02:10:03,450 --> 02:10:06,310
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So mixed experiences ang DepEd ho dyan.

2536
02:10:06,730 --> 02:10:12,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pag medyo forward-looking at enlightened yung local chief executive,

2537
02:10:12,770 --> 02:10:17,870
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pinapaubayan na po sa DepEd ang paggamit po ng Special Education Fund.

2538
02:10:17,870 --> 02:10:22,590
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero having said that, pinalawak na po natin yung menu ng Special Education Fund

2539
02:10:22,590 --> 02:10:26,490
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: para hindi lang yung traditional items ang pwedeng pondohan.

2540
02:10:27,070 --> 02:10:29,870
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But again, yung talagang coercive

2541
02:10:30,090 --> 02:10:33,030
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: power over the use of the SEF is not with DepEd.

2542
02:10:33,150 --> 02:10:35,950
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's probably with DOF if it lies with any agency.

2543
02:10:36,170 --> 02:10:38,310
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasi hindi naman kami yung nagpamonitor doon.

2544
02:10:39,010 --> 02:10:46,470
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At yung ibang, I'm aware that some LGUs, yung SCF allotment for that year,

2545
02:10:46,570 --> 02:10:48,630
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hindi nila ginagastos, minsan iniipon po nila yun.

2546
02:10:49,830 --> 02:10:51,250
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Yun lang po, Madam Chairman.

2547
02:10:51,250 --> 02:10:56,250
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: At muli, yung pagpapayag po ng suporta sa Department of Education,

2548
02:10:57,090 --> 02:10:59,970
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: including the request for additional budget.

2549
02:11:00,090 --> 02:11:02,510
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Yes, sir. Thank you.

2550
02:11:02,610 --> 02:11:03,190
Rep. Nelson S. Legacion: Thank you very much.

2551
02:11:03,190 --> 02:11:06,110
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Maraming-maraming salamat, Kong Nelson, at mabuhay po kayo.

2552
02:11:06,170 --> 02:11:07,090
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Diyos mabalas. Thank you.

2553
02:11:10,490 --> 02:11:15,890
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Before we go on lunch break, I will recognize one more,

2554
02:11:16,050 --> 02:11:22,870
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and then we go to lunch break and toilet break as well with the Secretary.

2555
02:11:23,130 --> 02:11:23,310
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Okay.

2556
02:11:23,830 --> 02:11:28,230
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: The Chair now recognizes Representative Sarah Elago.

2557
02:11:29,370 --> 02:11:31,050
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat, Madam Chair.

2558
02:11:31,350 --> 02:11:32,430
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Magandang araw.

2559
02:11:32,490 --> 02:11:36,970
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: As a DepEd family, tungkol sa implementation ng Bawal Bastos Law,

2560
02:11:37,470 --> 02:11:43,490
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ang programa at activities para rito ay kinukuha mula sa Learner Rights and Protection Funds,

2561
02:11:43,630 --> 02:11:45,910
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: pati na rin sa Gender and Development Budget.

2562
02:11:46,450 --> 02:11:52,170
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nagawa na po ba lahat ng ating regional offices ang kanya-kanyang mga code of conduct and consultation?

2563
02:11:52,770 --> 02:11:59,630
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At lahat ba ng divisions at schools ay may funksional na Committee on Decorum and Investigation?

2564
02:12:17,200 --> 02:12:19,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor, they're still in the process of completing.

2565
02:12:19,500 --> 02:12:26,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: The plans that you mentioned, Your Honor, the budget is subsumed under the Gender and Development portion of the DepEd budget, Your Honor.

2566
02:12:27,340 --> 02:12:30,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We can submit a report per region, Your Honor.

2567
02:12:31,100 --> 02:12:32,860
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat, Madam Chair.

2568
02:12:32,980 --> 02:12:37,240
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Abukad sa mismo report ng Bawal Bastos Law implementation,

2569
02:12:37,740 --> 02:12:44,380
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: nais din natin makuha kung magkano rin yung nagagastos para sa mga referral at intervention programs,

2570
02:12:44,380 --> 02:12:47,380
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: lalo na sa mental health, psychosocial support services,

2571
02:12:47,940 --> 02:12:52,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para sa mga victim-survivors of sexual violence.

2572
02:12:52,700 --> 02:12:55,320
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi lang po ito para sa mga estudyante, Madam Chair.

2573
02:12:55,700 --> 02:13:01,320
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero maski ho ang mga guro at ibang mga non-teaching personnel at lahat ng education stakeholders

2574
02:13:01,320 --> 02:13:06,720
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ay kailangan nakaka-access ng ganitong mahalagang mga servisyo.

2575
02:13:06,800 --> 02:13:13,980
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayon naman, Madam Chair, nais kong magtanong tungkol sa policy ng DepEd tungkol sa class suspension.

2576
02:13:13,980 --> 02:13:16,340
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Dahil ngayon, sunod-sunod ang bagyo.

2577
02:13:16,700 --> 02:13:17,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: May habagat na may dalang

2578
02:13:17,940 --> 02:13:21,600
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: malakas na pag-ulan, nandiyan ang epekto ng pagbaha,

2579
02:13:22,000 --> 02:13:26,260
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: nandyan din ang bantanang super el nino at extreme heat.

2580
02:13:26,520 --> 02:13:33,220
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At ang risulta nito, dumarami at sunod-sunod ang bilang ng nawawalang school days dahil sa class suspension.

2581
02:13:33,860 --> 02:13:37,640
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: May development na huba kung paano ma-address ng DepEd

2582
02:13:37,640 --> 02:13:42,460
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: yung mga concerns ng ating kababayan tungkol sa mga late na class suspension.

2583
02:13:42,460 --> 02:13:47,260
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: May pondo bang ilalaan para sa catch-up programs, make-up classes,

2584
02:13:47,940 --> 02:13:52,600
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: paano namu-monitor at natitiyak na effective ang mga programa na ito?

2585
02:13:53,700 --> 02:13:56,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

2586
02:13:57,560 --> 02:14:02,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Meron po tayong draft EO to amend the existing EO 66.

2587
02:14:04,360 --> 02:14:11,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, in-approve na po nung SDC or Social Development Committee of DepDev.

2588
02:14:11,260 --> 02:14:12,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That was last week lang.

2589
02:14:12,280 --> 02:14:16,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And ang highlights nun, yung nabanggit nyo,

2590
02:14:16,460 --> 02:14:22,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung kasi dati, ano lang eh, weather hazard, rain and wind hazard lang ho.

2591
02:14:23,120 --> 02:14:24,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ngayon, kasama na ho yung earthquake.

2592
02:14:25,100 --> 02:14:32,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, may automatic suspensions for pag yung air quality is based on the limits that DNR sets,

2593
02:14:32,740 --> 02:14:40,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung earthquake, certain earthquake level, tapos may pag-asa levels for heat index din po.

2594
02:14:40,660 --> 02:14:41,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, sinama na ho natin yun.

2595
02:14:42,220 --> 02:14:44,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, yung hazards na expand po yung menu.

2596
02:14:44,220 --> 02:14:46,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And we have such...

2597
02:14:46,460 --> 02:14:51,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We're developing this new concept called the granular suspension and resumption of class, ma'am.

2598
02:14:52,120 --> 02:14:53,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Anong ibig sabihin ito?

2599
02:14:53,880 --> 02:14:58,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kapag kasi sa ngayon, meron tayong automatic suspension sa national level or sa provincial levels.

2600
02:14:58,700 --> 02:14:59,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pagka...

2601
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:03,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung certain color index ng ulan.

2602
02:15:04,640 --> 02:15:06,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tapos meron din tayong local suspension

2603
02:15:06,100 --> 02:15:08,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at the level of the governor, the mayors.

2604
02:15:08,960 --> 02:15:12,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So ngayon, meron ho kasing ang naging feedback ho sa amin

2605
02:15:12,240 --> 02:15:16,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in our consultations is yung mga ibang skwelahan

2606
02:15:16,380 --> 02:15:19,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na sakop doon mga suspension na nabanggit,

2607
02:15:19,500 --> 02:15:21,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: eh hindi naman sila lahat apektado.

2608
02:15:22,040 --> 02:15:24,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ibig sabihin, nag-declare si governor dito,

2609
02:15:24,740 --> 02:15:27,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: eh itong sityo na ito, ito yung barangay,

2610
02:15:27,220 --> 02:15:28,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hindi pala umuulan doon sa lugar nila.

2611
02:15:28,960 --> 02:15:31,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So we're under this new draft EO,

2612
02:15:31,820 --> 02:15:33,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: which will be

2613
02:15:33,220 --> 02:15:35,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hopefully approved by the president in the coming weeks.

2614
02:15:36,840 --> 02:15:39,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pwede na pong mag-resume with coordination

2615
02:15:39,840 --> 02:15:41,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: with the local chief executives,

2616
02:15:41,940 --> 02:15:44,360
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ang ating mga public and private schools, Your Honor,

2617
02:15:44,500 --> 02:15:47,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: para ma-minimize na nga yung learning loss.

2618
02:15:48,720 --> 02:15:52,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And really, tama ho kayo because this is a very relevant topic

2619
02:15:52,580 --> 02:15:55,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: given the effects of El Nino,

2620
02:15:55,360 --> 02:15:56,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the effects of climate change,

2621
02:15:56,520 --> 02:15:58,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung haze mula sa Indonesia,

2622
02:15:58,400 --> 02:16:01,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: talagang unprecedented po yung weather disturbances

2623
02:16:01,220 --> 02:16:03,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: that we're seeing at present, Your Honor.

2624
02:16:04,720 --> 02:16:07,400
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Madam Chair, sa nabanggit na halimbawa ng ating Secretary,

2625
02:16:08,440 --> 02:16:10,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: sa kabilang banda, mayroon din mga kaso na

2626
02:16:10,900 --> 02:16:14,040
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: hindi affected yung eskwelahan,

2627
02:16:14,220 --> 02:16:16,880
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: pero yung mga estudyante sa mga lugar na binaha

2628
02:16:16,880 --> 02:16:18,620
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: o sa mga lugar na affected,

2629
02:16:19,020 --> 02:16:21,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ay may nararanasan na pagbaha

2630
02:16:21,760 --> 02:16:24,840
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: at iba't iba pong kahirapan sa pagpapasok.

2631
02:16:24,960 --> 02:16:27,100
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya dapat may isang ala-alang rin ito.

2632
02:16:27,100 --> 02:16:28,320
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayon naman, Madam Chair,

2633
02:16:28,400 --> 02:16:30,600
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: may podo ba para sa dagdag allowance

2634
02:16:30,600 --> 02:16:33,300
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para sa home-based work ng mga guro?

2635
02:16:33,460 --> 02:16:35,400
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kasi ho, diba, ang karaniwan na nangyayari

2636
02:16:35,920 --> 02:16:37,160
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: pag may class suspension,

2637
02:16:37,420 --> 02:16:41,640
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: sila ho ay nagkakandak na kanilang klase

2638
02:16:41,640 --> 02:16:44,680
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: mula sa kanilang bahay through online means.

2639
02:16:44,820 --> 02:16:46,300
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Meron po bang dagdag na allowance

2640
02:16:46,300 --> 02:16:48,080
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para sa home-based work na ito?

2641
02:16:50,150 --> 02:16:51,510
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Wala po for home-based work,

2642
02:16:51,650 --> 02:16:54,110
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pero tama ho kayo, dapat maging flexible ho tayo

2643
02:16:54,110 --> 02:16:56,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: dahil maaring yung eskwelahan hindi apektado,

2644
02:16:56,410 --> 02:16:59,350
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pero yung estudyante o yung guro ay apektado

2645
02:16:59,350 --> 02:17:01,650
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: dahil nakatira sila sa ibang lugar.

2646
02:17:01,810 --> 02:17:04,130
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, we'll make allowance for that, Your Honor,

2647
02:17:04,270 --> 02:17:07,970
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: dun sa allowing certain students

2648
02:17:07,970 --> 02:17:10,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to be excused from attending school

2649
02:17:10,190 --> 02:17:11,970
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: during those times

2650
02:17:11,970 --> 02:17:14,330
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and using alternative delivery means

2651
02:17:14,330 --> 02:17:15,170
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na lang or modes

2652
02:17:15,170 --> 02:17:18,690
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: dito sa kanilang mga estudyante na apektado,

2653
02:17:18,790 --> 02:17:19,030
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

2654
02:17:19,570 --> 02:17:21,850
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Madam Chair, bukod po dun sa allowance,

2655
02:17:21,950 --> 02:17:23,930
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: dagdag na allowance para sa home-based work

2656
02:17:23,930 --> 02:17:24,870
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ng mga teachers,

2657
02:17:25,790 --> 02:17:27,050
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: nire-raise ko rin po yung concern.

2658
02:17:27,050 --> 02:17:28,990
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Halimbawa, yung mga laptop na,

2659
02:17:29,350 --> 02:17:30,590
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: provided for teachers,

2660
02:17:30,950 --> 02:17:33,350
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: magagamit lang nila mismo dun sa school premises

2661
02:17:33,350 --> 02:17:36,010
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: at hindi po sila pinapayagan na maiuwi.

2662
02:17:36,350 --> 02:17:38,350
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Gayun din po yung concern ng ilan na

2663
02:17:38,350 --> 02:17:40,350
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: hindi naman lahat ay makakashift

2664
02:17:40,350 --> 02:17:42,250
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: agad-agad sa online means.

2665
02:17:42,370 --> 02:17:43,970
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Halimbawa, pag wala hong kuryente,

2666
02:17:44,130 --> 02:17:45,470
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: walang internet services,

2667
02:17:45,870 --> 02:17:48,010
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: sana po, maisang alang-alang ito ng DepEd.

2668
02:17:48,270 --> 02:17:50,210
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayon naman, tungkol, Madam Chair,

2669
02:17:50,310 --> 02:17:54,930
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: dun sa pagpapatupad ng DepEd Order No. 32,

2670
02:17:55,470 --> 02:17:57,750
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: this particular order mandates DepEd

2671
02:17:57,750 --> 02:17:58,870
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: to uphold human rights,

2672
02:17:58,990 --> 02:17:59,330

2830
03:22:01,850 --> 03:22:06,930
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Magsisimula po ako sa Madrasa Education Program ng DepEd po.

2831
03:22:06,930 --> 03:22:20,990
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sa ilalim ng NEP na 2027, ang budget para sa Madrasa Education Program ay nasa 504 million pesos, which is below the 2026 level.

2832
03:22:21,570 --> 03:22:29,810
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Magkano po kaya ang original proposal ng DepEd for the Madrasa Education Program to DBM before the NEP po?

2833
03:22:31,550 --> 03:22:32,810
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, thank you.

2834
03:22:34,330 --> 03:22:36,790
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Magandang hapon, Madam Chair.

2835
03:22:36,930 --> 03:22:43,650
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor, sa Madrasa nag-propose po ang DepEd for 2027 ng 2.03 billion, Your Honor.

2836
03:22:45,170 --> 03:22:50,630
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: 2.03 billion para lamang po ito sa Madrasa Education, tama po?

2837
03:22:50,810 --> 03:22:51,410
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tama po, Ma'am.

2838
03:22:51,410 --> 03:23:04,710
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Can you explain to this committee, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, in detail kung anong programs ang mababawas for our Moro community if hindi madadagdagan ng budget po?

2839
03:23:15,740 --> 03:23:16,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: This is for the...

2840
03:23:17,140 --> 03:23:20,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: increase in subsidy and additional asset needs.

2841
03:23:21,160 --> 03:23:29,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung compensation po ng 670 asset needs handling the Alive classes, the Arabic language classes, Your Honor.

2842
03:23:29,340 --> 03:23:33,880
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: So, ibig sabihin po, malaki po yung matatapyas sa kanila.

2843
03:23:35,000 --> 03:23:45,340
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, sa fiscal year of 2027 allocation, ilang learners at asset needs ang kayang masuportahan?

2844
03:23:45,340 --> 03:23:45,980
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Masuportahan.

2845
03:23:47,140 --> 03:23:48,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 2026 or 2027, ho?

2846
03:23:48,960 --> 03:23:51,040
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: 2027, po. Allocation.

2847
03:23:54,090 --> 03:24:02,010
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ilan yung may plantilla items at magkano ang magiging compensation para sa mga asatids kada buwan?

2848
03:24:02,710 --> 03:24:05,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor, 2,906, po.

2849
03:24:09,140 --> 03:24:13,980
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: At nasa magkano naman po kaya ang magiging compensation ng asatids kada buwan?

2850
03:24:15,940 --> 03:24:18,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 12,500, Your Honor.

2851
03:24:19,100 --> 03:24:24,340
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ito po ba ay kapareho lamang ng 2026?

2852
03:24:25,720 --> 03:24:28,420
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Current year or mas bumaba, po?

2853
03:24:29,740 --> 03:24:30,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Parehas lang, ho.

2854
03:24:30,840 --> 03:24:31,960
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Parehas lang, po. Okay.

2855
03:24:32,860 --> 03:24:39,680
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Madam Chair, in the proper time, Akbayan will push to increase the budget for the Madrasa Education Program.

2856
03:24:39,680 --> 03:24:47,280
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sa buong taong pakikipag-usap ko po sa ating Moro community sa kanilang pag-rehabilitate ng Madrasa schools,

2857
03:24:47,780 --> 03:24:55,640
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: mahalagang hindi maiiwan ang Madrasa system, which is important and integral to Muslim Filipinos.

2858
03:24:55,720 --> 03:24:58,200
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Dadako naman po ako sa IPED.

2859
03:24:58,740 --> 03:25:12,700
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mula sa 154 million sa gaan ng 2026, ay bumagsak po ito sa 76 million ang pondo para sa Indigenous People's Education sa NEP ng 2027.

2860
03:25:13,660 --> 03:25:21,820
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, bakit po kaya bumaba ng higit kalahati ang item natin sa IPED?

2861
03:25:21,820 --> 03:25:24,820
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mula 154 million sa gaan ng 2026.

2862
03:25:25,720 --> 03:25:29,360
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Iking 76 million na lang sa NEP ng 2027.

2863
03:25:30,740 --> 03:25:38,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kung ikukumpara po sa NEP ng 2026, 74.8 million ang NEP noong 2026.

2864
03:25:38,820 --> 03:25:46,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dinagdagan po ng Kongreso, naging 154.4 million sa GAA or General Appropriations Act for this year, Your Honor.

2865
03:25:46,820 --> 03:25:48,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kaya usually, ganoon ang practice po ng DBM.

2866
03:25:49,240 --> 03:25:54,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tinitingnan lang nila yung NEP level. Hindi nila ina-appropriate for the succeeding year yung GAA level.

2867
03:25:55,720 --> 03:26:00,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ang assumption nila, siguro, baka dadagdagan ulit po ng Kongreso.

2868
03:26:00,880 --> 03:26:08,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, actually, this 2027 NEP increased by a little over a million from the NEP level of 2026, Your Honor.

2869
03:26:08,700 --> 03:26:18,180
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, alin po kayang mga activities or communities or learners groups ang pinakatatamaan ng pagbawas na ito?

2870
03:26:18,180 --> 03:26:23,640
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Kung sakaling hindi po ito maibalik sa original na requested?

2871
03:26:24,600 --> 03:26:25,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, yung support.

2872
03:26:25,720 --> 03:26:28,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Support funds for the delivery of the IPED program.

2873
03:26:29,040 --> 03:26:35,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We can cover 4,471 more schools, Your Honor, pagka nabigay po yung additional funding.

2874
03:26:36,200 --> 03:26:40,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tapos yung learning and development for learning delivery, translanguaging training.

2875
03:26:40,960 --> 03:26:42,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pangalawang batch na po yun.

2876
03:26:42,740 --> 03:26:48,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tapos merong policies and standards for interagency agreements to address the access concerns of our IP learners, Your Honor.

2877
03:26:49,360 --> 03:26:50,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yun yung mga tatamaan po.

2878
03:26:51,820 --> 03:26:55,660
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, ito yung mahalaga po sa akin.

2879
03:26:55,720 --> 03:27:07,260
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Dahil particular na ako po ay isang indigenous people at karamihan po ng aking mga kababayan, mga constituents na IP ay lumalapit patungkol po dito.

2880
03:27:07,520 --> 03:27:12,740
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Kaya nababahala po ako kung ito po ay hindi mai-increase, Madam Chair.

2881
03:27:13,240 --> 03:27:21,560
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sa 76 million na allocation, ilan po kayang indigenous communities at learners lang po ang kayang masuportahan ng DEPED dito?

2882
03:27:21,560 --> 03:27:25,700
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: At ano po kaya ang critical unmet needs?

2883
03:27:25,720 --> 03:27:29,420
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Na hindi na matutugunan sa ganitong level ng pondo po?

2884
03:27:30,520 --> 03:27:38,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ang masaserve po natin ay 560,700 learners and 4,400 schools.

2885
03:27:39,140 --> 03:27:50,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tapos pag nadagdagan po yung hinihingi ng 78 million, which is to bring it up to 2026 level, ganoon din po yung number of schools na masisilbihan, Your Honor.

2886
03:27:50,660 --> 03:27:52,140
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat, Madam Chair.

2887
03:27:52,140 --> 03:27:55,140
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ano pong resources ang nakalaan para sa culturally?

2888
03:27:55,720 --> 03:28:09,040
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: The responsive learning materials, active community participation, paggamit ng indigenous languages, at pagpapatayo o pagpapanatili ng learning spaces para sa mga IP learners.

2889
03:28:10,240 --> 03:28:14,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, that's all part of the localization of the curriculum, Your Honor.

2890
03:28:15,240 --> 03:28:19,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pinapayagan natin yung mga divisions at saka yung mga regions to give priority.

2891
03:28:19,880 --> 03:28:25,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So makikita ko natin merong mga local traditions na pinipreserve like weaving.

2892
03:28:25,720 --> 03:28:33,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Basket making and other livelihood and traditions of the IPs, Your Honor.

2893
03:28:34,000 --> 03:28:37,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At syempre concerned din po kami sa access.

2894
03:28:37,160 --> 03:28:54,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So yung pagtatayo ng additional classrooms and of course yung pagtayo ng mga integrated schools din sa ibang IP areas po ay tinutuguran po natin dahil nakikita po natin sa mga last mile schools.

2895
03:28:54,220 --> 03:28:55,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yun din po ang minsan.

2896
03:28:55,720 --> 03:29:01,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Karamihan ng apektado ay IP communities din po, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

2897
03:29:01,920 --> 03:29:04,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So ito yung ilang nakikita po natin.

2898
03:29:05,200 --> 03:29:19,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In fact, meron kami nakakasamang IP sa Misamis noon na sabi niya dati hanggang grade 3 lang sila pero ngayon dahil nagtayuhu ng DepEd ng high school doon, first time na sa tribo nila makakagraduate sila ng high school, Your Honor.

2899
03:29:20,340 --> 03:29:22,960
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Tama po yan, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary.

2900
03:29:22,960 --> 03:29:25,540
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sa sariling ancestral domain ko po.

2901
03:29:25,720 --> 03:29:30,000
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, dati nasa grade 1, grade 2 lamang.

2902
03:29:30,160 --> 03:29:31,880
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ngayon may grade 6 na po kami.

2903
03:29:32,420 --> 03:29:36,840
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: And sana, insya Allah, magkaroon na rin po ito ng high school eventually.

2904
03:29:37,420 --> 03:29:40,920
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: But anyway, I will proceed to another topic po.

2905
03:29:41,020 --> 03:29:46,000
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ito naman po ay patungkol sa Islamic studies and Arabic language.

2906
03:29:46,680 --> 03:29:48,300
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Teachers across Sulu.

2907
03:29:49,680 --> 03:29:54,260
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, nitong June 25 of 2026,

2908
03:29:55,720 --> 03:29:59,920
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ni-review ng MBHTE ang contracts ng mahigit 700

2909

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: At sa ilalim ng joint memorandum

2913

2962
03:31:50,630 --> 03:31:52,590
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: school feeding program is not one of the

2963
03:31:52,590 --> 03:31:54,270
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: programs authorized by

2964
03:31:54,270 --> 03:31:55,950
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the organic law, unlike

2965
03:31:55,950 --> 03:31:57,430
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: school building and

2966
03:31:57,430 --> 03:32:00,110
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: capacity building of our teachers,

2967
03:32:00,270 --> 03:32:01,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: teacher-teacher training.

2968
03:32:01,230 --> 03:32:03,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's not included for us

2969
03:32:03,090 --> 03:32:04,750
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: as one of the activities we're allowed to fund,

2970
03:32:04,750 --> 03:32:06,630
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor. Kaya

2971
03:32:06,630 --> 03:32:09,290
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: one possibility is i-amenda yung batas.

2972
03:32:09,510 --> 03:32:10,830
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Another possibility is

2973
03:32:10,830 --> 03:32:12,830
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yun na lang, mag-coordinate ko kami

2974
03:32:12,830 --> 03:32:14,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: sa alignment

2975
03:32:14,710 --> 03:32:16,050
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng programa.

2976
03:32:16,610 --> 03:32:19,410
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ibig sabihin po, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary,

2977
03:32:20,090 --> 03:32:21,390
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: walang specific

2978
03:32:21,390 --> 03:32:23,450
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: technical assistance or

2979
03:32:23,450 --> 03:32:24,950
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: alignment mechanism

2980
03:32:24,950 --> 03:32:26,670
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: para sa particular na

2981
03:32:26,670 --> 03:32:28,870
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: pagsigurong feeding program,

2982
03:32:28,870 --> 03:32:29,350
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: subsidy,

2983
03:32:29,350 --> 03:32:31,110
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: subsidy,

2984
03:32:31,230 --> 03:32:32,470
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: or learning recovery

2985
03:32:32,470 --> 03:32:34,770
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: na para po sa ating mga

2986
03:32:34,770 --> 03:32:37,290
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: may problema po sa stunting

2987
03:32:37,290 --> 03:32:37,870
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: sa BARM.

2988
03:32:38,190 --> 03:32:39,350
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Meron po, in fact,

2989
03:32:40,290 --> 03:32:41,830
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: under the auspices of EDCOM,

2990
03:32:42,150 --> 03:32:43,650
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: nagkaroon po tayo ng Bangsamoro

2991
03:32:43,650 --> 03:32:46,530
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: coordination council

2992
03:32:46,530 --> 03:32:48,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: including not only DEPED

2993
03:32:48,550 --> 03:32:50,990
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: but also TESDA at saka CHED

2994
03:32:50,990 --> 03:32:52,950
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: para lahat nung educational needs

2995
03:32:52,950 --> 03:32:54,830
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng BARM ma-address through this

2996
03:32:54,830 --> 03:32:56,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: coordinating mechanism. So, it's even

2997
03:32:56,930 --> 03:32:58,970
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: a more specific body than, I know

2998
03:32:58,970 --> 03:33:00,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: there is a overarching

2999
03:33:01,200 --> 03:33:02,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: coordinating mechanism

3000
03:33:02,230 --> 03:33:05,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: involving the department, headed by the Department of Finance

3001
03:33:05,230 --> 03:33:07,730
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to look at the spending of the national government

3002
03:33:07,730 --> 03:33:11,970
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: vis-a-vis the BARM. But, this one is really concentrated on education

3003
03:33:11,970 --> 03:33:13,970
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because EDCOM nga nagtayo.

3004
03:33:13,970 --> 03:33:18,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In fact, the first two-day workshop was held last week,

3005
03:33:18,010 --> 03:33:20,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor, Madam Chair.

3006
03:33:20,010 --> 03:33:22,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, I think it's a good start.

3007
03:33:22,010 --> 03:33:26,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But having said that, tumutulong na po talaga kami sa school buildings,

3008
03:33:26,190 --> 03:33:28,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: tapos sa teacher trainings,

3009
03:33:28,190 --> 03:33:30,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: tapos sa foreign loans din po ng DEPED.

3010
03:33:30,190 --> 03:33:34,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil, yun ay hindi naman funding source ng GAAP.

3011
03:33:34,190 --> 03:33:36,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, pwedeng isama po dun yung BARM.

3012
03:33:36,190 --> 03:33:38,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, nagbigay kami ng mga tablets

3013
03:33:38,190 --> 03:33:40,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: under our TCEP loan,

3014
03:33:40,190 --> 03:33:42,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: which is to

3015
03:33:42,190 --> 03:33:44,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to

3016
03:33:44,190 --> 03:33:46,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: train our teachers

3017
03:33:46,190 --> 03:33:48,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in digital technology

3018
03:33:48,190 --> 03:33:50,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and in modern teaching techniques, Your Honor.

3019
03:33:50,190 --> 03:33:52,190
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Madam Chair,

3020
03:33:52,190 --> 03:33:54,190
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mr. Secretary, alam ko wala na po akong time.

3021
03:33:54,190 --> 03:33:56,190
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Pero, dyan sa manifestation na

3022
03:33:56,190 --> 03:33:58,190
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: maganda na na nasisimulan na po natin

3023
03:33:58,190 --> 03:34:00,190
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: yung alignment.

3024
03:34:00,190 --> 03:34:02,190
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Gumagawa tayo ng mekanismo.

3025
03:34:02,190 --> 03:34:04,190
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Patungkol po dito sa

3026
03:34:04,190 --> 03:34:06,190
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: stunting problem natin sa BARM.

3027
03:34:06,190 --> 03:34:08,190
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: But anyway, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary,

3028
03:34:08,190 --> 03:34:10,190
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: gusto ko lamang kong ipaabot

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: na pinapasabi po,

3036
03:34:24,190 --> 03:34:26,190

03:34:40,190 --> 03:34:42,190
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: masolusyonan po natin ito sa Region 9.

3045
03:34:42,190 --> 03:34:44,190

Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap: committee be assured that

3085
03:36:02,190 --> 03:36:04,190

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: nangingibabaw sa ating mga

03:36:36,190 --> 03:36:38,190

3104
03:36:40,190 --> 03:36:42,190

03:37:04,190 --> 03:37:06,190

3138
03:37:51,860 --> 03:37:53,860

3139
03:37:53,860 --> 03:37:55,860

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: some CSO.

3146
03:38:09,860 --> 03:38:11,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: If you recall, since last year

3147
03:38:11,860 --> 03:38:13,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and until this year, the Committee on

3148
03:38:13,860 --> 03:38:15,860

3149
03:38:15,860 --> 03:38:17,860

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: organizations

3152
03:38:21,860 --> 03:38:23,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: to ask questions

3153
03:38:23,860 --> 03:38:25,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: to all the

3154
03:38:25,860 --> 03:38:27,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: departments. So while waiting,

03:38:27,860 --> 03:38:29,860

3157
03:38:31,860 --> 03:38:33,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Secretary.

3158
03:38:33,860 --> 03:38:35,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: these questions were emailed

3159
03:38:35,860 --> 03:38:37,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: to the Committee on Appropriations

3160
03:38:37,860 --> 03:38:39,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and these are coming from

3161
03:38:39,860 --> 03:38:41,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: the Center for Youth Advocacy

3162
03:38:41,860 --> 03:38:43,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and Networking

3163
03:38:43,860 --> 03:38:47,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: MultiplyED.

3164
03:38:47,780 --> 03:38:49,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Some of the questions were

3165
03:38:49,780 --> 03:38:51,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: already raised earlier,

3166
03:38:51,780 --> 03:38:53,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: so I'll just ask those

3167
03:38:53,780 --> 03:38:55,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: who are not yet raised.

3168
03:38:55,780 --> 03:38:57,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: First, on the classroom construction

3169
03:38:57,780 --> 03:38:59,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and absorptive capacity,

3170
03:38:59,780 --> 03:39:01,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: the fiscal year

3171
03:39:01,780 --> 03:39:03,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: 2027 basic education

3172
03:39:03,780 --> 03:39:05,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: facilities allocation is being

3173
03:39:05,780 --> 03:39:07,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: underfunded by

3174
03:39:07,780 --> 03:39:09,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: 64.2%

3175
03:39:09,780 --> 03:39:11,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: despite a classroom backlog

3176
03:39:11,780 --> 03:39:13,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: exceeding 166,000

3177
03:39:13,780 --> 03:39:15,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and

3178
03:39:15,780 --> 03:39:17,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: 58% of

3179
03:39:17,780 --> 03:39:19,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: monitored schools reporting

3180
03:39:19,780 --> 03:39:21,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: insufficient classrooms.

3181
03:39:21,780 --> 03:39:23,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: MultiplyED's monitoring

3182
03:39:23,780 --> 03:39:25,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: data also found schools

3183
03:39:25,780 --> 03:39:27,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: operating in

3184
03:39:27,780 --> 03:39:29,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: two to three shifts

3185
03:39:29,780 --> 03:39:31,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and projects left unfinished

3186
03:39:31,780 --> 03:39:33,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: despite contractors already

3187
03:39:33,780 --> 03:39:35,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: being substantially paid.

3188
03:39:35,780 --> 03:39:37,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Despite the bigger allocation

3189
03:39:37,780 --> 03:39:39,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: last year which aimed to build more

3190
03:39:39,780 --> 03:39:41,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: classrooms, why does the Department

3191
03:39:41,780 --> 03:39:43,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: keep on targeting a small number

3192
03:39:43,780 --> 03:39:45,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: of classrooms to build each year

3193
03:39:45,780 --> 03:39:47,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: as compared to the compounding

3194
03:39:47,780 --> 03:39:49,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and increasing need for classrooms

3195
03:39:49,780 --> 03:39:51,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: taking into consideration the

3196
03:39:51,780 --> 03:39:53,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: classrooms that need rehabilitation

3197
03:39:53,780 --> 03:39:55,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: after disasters?

3198
03:39:55,780 --> 03:39:57,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you, Madam Chair.

3199
03:39:57,780 --> 03:39:59,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's a good question.

3200
03:39:59,780 --> 03:40:01,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Actually, we're not asking

3201
03:40:01,780 --> 03:40:03,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: for a small number of classrooms.

3202
03:40:03,780 --> 03:40:05,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We're actually asking for a very big amount.

3203
03:40:05,780 --> 03:40:07,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We asked for 98 billion from DBM

3204
03:40:07,780 --> 03:40:09,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to match the

3205
03:40:09,780 --> 03:40:11,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: or surpass the amount we received

3206
03:40:11,780 --> 03:40:13,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: this year thanks to your generosity

3207
03:40:13,780 --> 03:40:15,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and Congress's generosity, Your Honor.

3208
03:40:15,780 --> 03:40:17,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But unfortunately, we were not

3209
03:40:17,780 --> 03:40:19,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: granted, but hopefully

3210
03:40:19,780 --> 03:40:21,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: through the budgetary process

3211
03:40:21,780 --> 03:40:23,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: there may be a change of heart

3212
03:40:23,780 --> 03:40:25,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and the final product in the GAA

3213
03:40:25,780 --> 03:40:27,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: will be favorable towards

3214
03:40:27,780 --> 03:40:29,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: infrastructure. And although the

3215
03:40:29,780 --> 03:40:31,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: classroom backlog for the record is no longer

3216
03:40:31,780 --> 03:40:33,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: over 160,000, it's 142,000

3217
03:40:33,780 --> 03:40:35,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: approximately,

3218
03:40:35,780 --> 03:40:37,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor. Although, of course, it grows

3219
03:40:37,780 --> 03:40:39,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: every time we have a calamity and there are hundreds

3220
03:40:39,780 --> 03:40:41,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of classrooms which are destroyed

3221
03:40:41,780 --> 03:40:43,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: as we saw recently in Central Luzon

3222
03:40:43,780 --> 03:40:45,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and many other

3223
03:40:45,780 --> 03:40:47,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: areas. However,

3224
03:40:47,780 --> 03:40:49,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we don't want

3225
03:40:49,780 --> 03:40:51,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: a small amount

3226
03:40:51,780 --> 03:40:53,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of allotment as much as

3227
03:40:53,780 --> 03:40:55,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: possible. We are advocating for

3228
03:40:55,780 --> 03:40:57,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: a very strong infrastructure

3229
03:40:57,780 --> 03:40:59,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: program. That's why we

3230
03:40:59,780 --> 03:41:01,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: realize that agencies may have

3231
03:41:01,780 --> 03:41:03,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: reached their absorptive capacities

3232
03:41:03,780 --> 03:41:05,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: which is why we branched out towards

3233
03:41:05,780 --> 03:41:07,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: innovative approaches like

3234
03:41:07,780 --> 03:41:09,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: employing the LGUs.

3235
03:41:09,780 --> 03:41:11,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So rather than

3236
03:41:11,780 --> 03:41:13,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: have just one or two agencies doing infrastructure

3237
03:41:13,780 --> 03:41:15,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: for classrooms, we now have

3238
03:41:15,780 --> 03:41:17,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 350 plus

3239
03:41:17,780 --> 03:41:19,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: instrumentalities of government

3240
03:41:19,780 --> 03:41:21,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: engaging in

3241
03:41:21,780 --> 03:41:23,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: bidding out our classrooms. Not to mention

3242
03:41:23,780 --> 03:41:25,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: reaching out to private actors,

3243
03:41:25,780 --> 03:41:27,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to consumers, to corporations,

3244
03:41:27,780 --> 03:41:29,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and through the public-private partnership

3245
03:41:29,780 --> 03:41:31,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: also reaching

3246
03:41:31,780 --> 03:41:33,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: out through the multilateral agencies,

3247
03:41:33,780 --> 03:41:35,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

3248
03:41:35,780 --> 03:41:37,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Thank you. Thank you, Secretary, for

3249
03:41:37,780 --> 03:41:39,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: the answer.

3250
03:41:39,780 --> 03:41:41,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Another question is on the allocation

3251
03:41:41,780 --> 03:41:43,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: list of classrooms.

3252
03:41:43,780 --> 03:41:45,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Tied with the big budget

3253
03:41:45,780 --> 03:41:47,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: allotted for classroom construction

3254
03:41:47,780 --> 03:41:49,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: is a need to monitor if these classrooms

3255
03:41:49,780 --> 03:41:51,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: were really built as intended.

3256
03:41:51,780 --> 03:41:53,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Civil society organizations

3257
03:41:53,780 --> 03:41:55,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: like MultiplyEd and

3258
03:41:55,780 --> 03:41:57,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Government Watch have asked

3259
03:41:57,780 --> 03:41:59,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: the Department non-stop

3260
03:41:59,780 --> 03:42:01,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: to provide and publish a complete

3261
03:42:01,780 --> 03:42:03,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: list of locations

3262
03:42:03,780 --> 03:42:05,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: to build the classrooms, only

3263
03:42:05,780 --> 03:42:07,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: to have been met with empty promises

3264
03:42:07,780 --> 03:42:09,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and most of the time no

3265
03:42:09,780 --> 03:42:11,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: response at all. When will

3266
03:42:11,780 --> 03:42:13,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: the Department of Education release its

3267
03:42:13,780 --> 03:42:15,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: allocation list for the classrooms

3268
03:42:15,780 --> 03:42:17,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: to be built all over the country

3269
03:42:17,780 --> 03:42:19,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and to fully commit to its

3270
03:42:19,780 --> 03:42:21,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: promise of transparency

3271
03:42:21,780 --> 03:42:23,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and participation in monitoring

3272
03:42:23,780 --> 03:42:25,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: its education projects?

3273
03:42:25,780 --> 03:42:27,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor, the list of

3274
03:42:27,780 --> 03:42:29,780

3276
03:42:31,780 --> 03:42:38,610

3277
03:42:38,610 --> 03:42:41,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: On textbooks, last year

3278
03:42:41,980 --> 03:42:43,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: textbook allocation surged

3279
03:42:43,980 --> 03:42:45,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: due to the rollout of the

3280
03:42:45,980 --> 03:42:47,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: matatag curriculum and

3281
03:42:47,980 --> 03:42:49,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: the strengthened senior high

3282
03:42:49,980 --> 03:42:51,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: school curriculum.

3283
03:42:51,980 --> 03:42:53,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Based on civil society monitoring

3284
03:42:53,980 --> 03:42:55,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and studies, there is

3285
03:42:55,980 --> 03:42:57,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: a jarring disparity

3286
03:42:57,980 --> 03:42:59,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: in textbook delivery to schools

3287
03:42:59,980 --> 03:43:01,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: on the ground, where

3288
03:43:01,980 --> 03:43:03,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: students reported having received

3289
03:43:03,980 --> 03:43:05,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: no textbooks at all.

3290
03:43:05,980 --> 03:43:07,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: How can DepEd reconcile the gaps

3291
03:43:07,980 --> 03:43:09,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: in textbooks funds utilization

3292
03:43:09,980 --> 03:43:11,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and expedite delivery

3293
03:43:11,980 --> 03:43:13,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: of textbooks, especially

3294
03:43:13,980 --> 03:43:15,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: in last mile schools?

3295
03:43:15,980 --> 03:43:17,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Is the Department open to letting the

3296
03:43:17,980 --> 03:43:19,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Schools Division Office procure textbooks

3297
03:43:19,980 --> 03:43:21,980
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: to expedite the process?

3298
03:43:21,980 --> 03:43:23,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, we're open to

3299
03:43:23,980 --> 03:43:25,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: exploring that, Your Honor.

3300
03:43:25,980 --> 03:43:27,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In fact, now a lot of regional

3301
03:43:27,980 --> 03:43:33,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: offices are the ones procuring

3302
03:43:33,120 --> 03:43:35,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and we're exploring many

3303
03:43:35,120 --> 03:43:37,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ways to further speed it up,

3304
03:43:37,120 --> 03:43:41,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor. First time,

3305
03:43:41,550 --> 03:43:43,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we procured all the titles, 105

3306
03:43:43,550 --> 03:43:45,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: titles for the curriculum.

3307
03:43:45,550 --> 03:43:47,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And EDCOM's finding

3308
03:43:47,550 --> 03:43:49,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: is that in the last decade, only

3309
03:43:49,550 --> 03:43:51,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 27 titles were procured

3310
03:43:51,550 --> 03:43:53,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of 80 or so titles.

3311
03:43:53,550 --> 03:43:55,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ngayon lang po tayo nakapag-procure ng

3312
03:43:55,550 --> 03:43:57,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 105 titles. Of course, the delivery

3313
03:43:57,550 --> 03:43:59,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: is something we need to work on

3314
03:43:59,550 --> 03:44:04,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: going forward, Your Honor.

3315
03:44:04,340 --> 03:44:06,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Thank you. On

3316
03:44:06,340 --> 03:44:08,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: DepEd

3317
03:44:08,340 --> 03:44:10,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: LGU and PPP classroom

3318
03:44:10,340 --> 03:44:12,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: construction, how many

3319
03:44:12,340 --> 03:44:14,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: fiscal year

3320
03:44:14,340 --> 03:44:16,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: 2027 classrooms

3321
03:44:16,340 --> 03:44:18,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: will depend on LGU counterpart

3322
03:44:18,340 --> 03:44:20,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: funding or

3323
03:44:20,340 --> 03:44:22,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: PPP arrangements? And what happens

3324
03:44:22,340 --> 03:44:24,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: to schools whose LGUs

3325
03:44:24,340 --> 03:44:26,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: cannot provide the required

3326
03:44:26,340 --> 03:44:28,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: counterpart? And why

3327
03:44:28,340 --> 03:44:30,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: is it hard for the Department to publish

3328
03:44:30,340 --> 03:44:32,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: these data regarding classroom

3329
03:44:32,340 --> 03:44:34,340
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: construction?

3330
03:44:34,340 --> 03:44:36,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Currently, we don't have a counterpart funding

3331
03:44:36,340 --> 03:44:38,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: arrangement, although we acknowledge

3332
03:44:38,340 --> 03:44:40,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the role of many LGUs in building

3333
03:44:40,340 --> 03:44:42,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: classrooms, Your Honor.

3334
03:44:42,340 --> 03:44:44,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And for

3335
03:44:44,340 --> 03:44:46,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: PPP arrangements,

3336
03:44:46,340 --> 03:44:48,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think we're targeting

3337
03:44:48,340 --> 03:44:50,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 16,000 for the

3338
03:44:50,340 --> 03:44:52,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: PCP3 package, Your Honor.

3339
03:44:52,340 --> 03:44:59,170
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Thank you.

3340
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:08,640
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: um on the absorptive capacity given koa's findings of chronic under obligation in the computerization

3341
03:45:08,640 --> 03:45:15,840
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: and basic education facilities programs what specifically changes in fiscal year 2027

3342
03:45:16,480 --> 03:45:23,680
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: so that a smaller capital envelope is actually delivered and why should the build be cut while

3343
03:45:23,680 --> 03:45:26,780
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: the classroom backlog grows?

3344
03:45:26,780 --> 03:45:35,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Sorry ma'am, anong ibig sabihin?

3345
03:45:35,040 --> 03:45:44,560
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Hindi ko rin naintindihan yung binabasa. Medyo na-confuse din ako sa tanong. Paki-rephrase, Secretary. Medyo na-confuse din ako doon.

3346
03:45:44,560 --> 03:45:50,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: if they're addressing the uh absorptive capacity we're addressing it with early procurement

3347
03:45:50,560 --> 03:45:55,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: uh madam chair so but kadalasan kasi hindi natutuloy yung early procurement like we

3348
03:45:55,600 --> 03:45:56,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: did it in our first year

3349
03:45:57,840 --> 03:46:16,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero yung ginawa namin, naiba dahil iniba po yung [unclear] from the NEP to the GAA. Nag-iba-iba yung allotments, kaya yung bid sa early procurement namin nag-iba na ho by the time after the bicam. So walang silbi din yung ginawa naming early procurement, Your Honor.

3350
03:46:16,480 --> 03:46:22,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: but uh definitely i think we've improved our early our our absorptive capacity with respect to

3351
03:46:22,800 --> 03:46:27,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the digital uh and the computerization program because we'll be procuring

3352
03:46:28,480 --> 03:46:31,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hundreds of thousands of computers this coming few months your honor

3353
03:46:32,880 --> 03:46:39,920
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: yes i think um the question refers to the ways forward probably the actions to be taken

3354
03:46:39,920 --> 03:46:43,840
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: by the department in order to improve the utilization

3355
03:46:45,840 --> 03:46:51,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: number two decentralization we're giving downloading some funds also to the regions

3356
03:46:54,640 --> 03:46:56,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because we don't do if it's a

3357
03:46:57,840 --> 03:47:02,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: recurring procurement it means you're procuring the same items every year you don't we don't wait

3358
03:47:02,560 --> 03:47:07,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to do a new policy we just have the same old policy so that suppliers can already prepare

3359
03:47:07,440 --> 03:47:12,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and there are no more changes in that policy, Madam Chair.

3360
03:47:12,500 --> 03:47:16,320
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Thank you. Last question from the CSO

3361
03:47:17,200 --> 03:47:23,920
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: on the learning continuity spaces debug has released its guidelines on learning continuity

3362
03:47:23,920 --> 03:47:25,200
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: during disasters

3363
03:47:25,200 --> 03:47:33,760
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Part of the guidelines is the construction of these learning continuity spaces, which are aimed to be semi-permanent during disasters.

3364
03:47:34,540 --> 03:47:41,200
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: These additional construction items are line items prone to corruption and low efficiency in building.

3365
03:47:41,820 --> 03:47:49,420
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: How does the department plan to build and rebuild, given they are semi-permanent, these learning continuity spaces?

3366
03:47:49,420 --> 03:47:56,080
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: And given the classroom backlogs, do we even have the capacity to build such learning continuity spaces?

3367
03:47:57,500 --> 03:47:58,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you, Madam Chair.

3368
03:47:59,220 --> 03:48:04,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung learning continuity spaces, ito?y innovation po namin in the last year.

3369
03:48:05,060 --> 03:48:08,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And in the last three months, we put up 169 of these.

3370
03:48:08,540 --> 03:48:11,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasi mabilis lang itayo ?to. Parang Lego ho siya at bakal ho siya.

3371
03:48:11,940 --> 03:48:19,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ang problema lang namin dito, minsan nawawala yung piyesa, yung tinatawag na sandwich panel, which is the...

3372
03:48:19,400 --> 03:48:23,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: portion which connects the classroom.

3373
03:48:24,480 --> 03:48:26,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But it?s no longer the... 

3374
03:48:26,260 --> 03:48:27,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasi dati walang standard eh.

3375
03:48:27,740 --> 03:48:29,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Minsan kawayan, minsan nipa.

3376
03:48:30,440 --> 03:48:31,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So ngayon, bakal na po.

3377
03:48:31,980 --> 03:48:34,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And the warranty is 20 years, Your Honor.

3378
03:48:34,240 --> 03:48:36,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So nung nakita nga nung ibang mayor, sabi,

3379
03:48:37,140 --> 03:48:38,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Iyan na lang ibigay n?yo sa amin. Huwag na...

3380
03:48:38,680 --> 03:48:42,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And regarding the corruption, we are getting good value, I think,

3381
03:48:42,540 --> 03:48:45,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because these are being built for under 2 million, Your Honor.

3382
03:48:45,920 --> 03:48:49,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And they last for a minimum of 20 years.

3383
03:48:49,580 --> 03:48:50,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Possibly more, Your Honor.

3384
03:48:52,420 --> 03:48:55,170
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Thank you.

3385
03:48:55,470 --> 03:49:01,830

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And to the committee.

3388
03:49:05,590 --> 03:49:09,430
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Now, let us proceed to the other members.

3389
03:49:09,850 --> 03:49:17,050
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: The Chair would like to recognize Representative Presley De Jesus for his question.

3390
03:49:18,310 --> 03:49:19,790

3395
03:49:31,650 --> 03:49:34,230
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: eh dapat talaga hindi lang kayo.

3396
03:49:34,410 --> 03:49:36,270
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: How much is our automatic appropriation?

3397
03:49:36,550 --> 03:49:38,250
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ilang percentage po ng total budget tayo?

3398
03:49:47,330 --> 03:49:49,410
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 2 billion po. That is for the RLIP, yung

3399
03:49:49,870 --> 03:49:54,070
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: retirement, karamihan pensions and premiums ho yan.

3400
03:49:54,070 --> 03:49:56,610
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: When you submitted your budget, Secretary,

3401
03:49:56,610 --> 03:50:00,350
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: na-approve naman lahat ba o binawasan ba o ano?

3402
03:50:00,350 --> 03:50:03,270
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Usually binabawasan ng DBM yan, eh.

3403
03:50:03,690 --> 03:50:05,630
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: More or less intact ho siya, Your Honor.

3404
03:50:05,970 --> 03:50:06,670
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Konti lang nabawas.

3405
03:50:07,170 --> 03:50:07,370
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Yeah.

3406
03:50:07,750 --> 03:50:13,130
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kasi for me, Mr. Chair, ah, Madam Chair, ang education talaga yan ang number one.

3407
03:50:13,430 --> 03:50:15,530
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: We keep on saying America is number one.

3408
03:50:15,690 --> 03:50:17,510
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: When you look at the data of the Americans,

3409
03:50:18,230 --> 03:50:23,710
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: number seven lang sila sa lahat ng average category.

3410
03:50:23,710 --> 03:50:24,710
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, we...

3411

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: sa ating karatig bansa?

3416
03:50:36,390 --> 03:50:37,730
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Just ballpark figure.

3417
03:50:39,970 --> 03:50:43,630

3426
03:50:59,950 --> 03:51:00,210
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Yeah.

3427
03:51:00,470 --> 03:51:02,550
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, in short, we are...

3428
03:51:02,550 --> 03:51:05,350
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: if not on top, at least at par in the middle.

3429
03:51:05,770 --> 03:51:08,390
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We're in the middle, but hopefully we can...

3430
03:51:08,390 --> 03:51:10,990
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think we have the potential to do better, Your Honor.

3431
03:51:11,230 --> 03:51:11,430
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Yeah.

3432
03:51:11,770 --> 03:51:14,890
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Chair, Secretary, what do you think, you know,

3433
03:51:15,290 --> 03:51:16,590
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: on the onset, what do you think,

3434
03:51:16,810 --> 03:51:18,230
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: at least we have...

3435
03:51:18,230 --> 03:51:19,410
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: We cannot beat Singapore.

3436
03:51:19,530 --> 03:51:20,310
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: We know that.

3437
03:51:20,390 --> 03:51:21,510
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: It's a given.

3438
03:51:21,930 --> 03:51:24,330
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: But at least, even if we're in the middle,

3439
03:51:24,330 --> 03:51:26,090
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: what do you think we need to do?

3440
03:51:26,590 --> 03:51:28,090
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: As a nation, no?

3441
03:51:28,230 --> 03:51:32,130
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Hindi naman lahat kayang gawin ng DepEd.

3442
03:51:32,350 --> 03:51:34,130
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: It is a whole-nation approach.

3443
03:51:34,310 --> 03:51:36,770
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: What do you think we need to do as a nation?

3444
03:51:37,130 --> 03:51:38,510
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ang tinitingnan ko ho yung Vietnam.

3445
03:51:38,770 --> 03:51:41,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasi dati nauunahan ho natin ang Vietnam,

3446
03:51:42,050 --> 03:51:44,650
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pero ngayon nalampasan na ho tayo, especially sa test scores.

3447
03:51:45,190 --> 03:51:48,590
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: They focus on certain points.

3448
03:51:49,410 --> 03:51:51,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Number one is the budgetary allocation.

3449
03:51:51,370 --> 03:51:54,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: They spend 20% of their national budget for education.

3450
03:51:54,710 --> 03:51:55,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And they...

3451
03:51:56,590 --> 03:52:00,110
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: They pay a particular focus on teachers and teacher training, Your Honor.

3452
03:52:00,310 --> 03:52:09,630
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So they make sure that their teachers are satisfied,

3453
03:52:09,630 --> 03:52:11,070
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at may magandang career path.

3454
03:52:11,510 --> 03:52:14,030
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So talagang promotion, further studies ng teachers nila.

3455
03:52:14,530 --> 03:52:15,730
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Inaalagaan talaga nila.

3456
03:52:16,350 --> 03:52:18,850
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: They focus on strengthening their teachers.

3457
03:52:19,010 --> 03:52:24,390
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasi alam nila na yan ang heart, as our President said,

3458
03:52:24,390 --> 03:52:25,870
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of the educational system.

3459
03:52:26,030 --> 03:52:26,390
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, I think...

3460
03:52:26,590 --> 03:52:32,310
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, I think those are two strong points that we can borrow from Vietnam.

3461
03:52:32,310 --> 03:52:35,750
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Sa Indonesia, meron din silang app para sa teachers.

3462
03:52:35,750 --> 03:52:38,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So may feedback mechanism with teachers.

3463
03:52:38,710 --> 03:52:46,590
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Of course, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, they invest a lot in education, Your Honor,

3464
03:52:46,590 --> 03:52:49,830
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: especially early child care, Your Honor.

3465
03:52:49,830 --> 03:52:52,550
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Madam Chair, of course, to the Secretary.

3466
03:52:52,550 --> 03:52:55,430
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: You mentioned that in Vietnam, usually Vietnam.

3467
03:52:55,430 --> 03:52:56,430
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes.

3468
03:52:56,430 --> 03:53:02,630
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Noong early seventies, eighties, pumupunta sila sa atin para pag-aralan ang farming natin, di ba?

3469
03:53:02,850 --> 03:53:03,750
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ngayon, baligtad na.

3470
03:53:04,030 --> 03:53:05,470
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Mas marami na silang napo-produce kaysa sa atin.

3471
03:53:05,470 --> 03:53:11,510
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: And then, when it comes to education, 20% of the total national budget.

3472
03:53:12,110 --> 03:53:15,410
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, right now, we have something like 7.2 trillion.

3473
03:53:15,910 --> 03:53:19,630
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So I think it is only right na yung 20% to achieve.

3474
03:53:20,030 --> 03:53:24,030
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Remember, laging sinasabi ng mga bayani natin,

3475
03:53:24,190 --> 03:53:27,550
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: kabataan ang pag-asa ng kinabukasan natin.

3476
03:53:27,550 --> 03:53:31,430
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So I think this is the high time po na 20% is not bad.

3477
03:53:31,810 --> 03:53:37,890
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Right now, ilang percent po ang pie natin sa budget natin?

3478
03:53:38,190 --> 03:53:38,730
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ilang percent?

3479
03:53:39,250 --> 03:53:43,130
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's about 14% of the, 14.3% of the national budget.

3480
03:53:44,030 --> 03:53:45,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's the budget.

3481
03:53:45,490 --> 03:53:45,630
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yeah.

3482
03:53:45,910 --> 03:53:46,410
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So ang baba, no?

3483
03:53:47,350 --> 03:53:48,050
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Hindi naman mababa yun.

3484
03:53:48,530 --> 03:53:50,750
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Medyo maganda na 'yan kumpara sa dati, Your Honor.

3485
03:53:50,750 --> 03:53:54,730
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero I think we should be conscious about moving it towards a certain goal.

3486
03:53:54,730 --> 03:53:55,190
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Yeah.

3487
03:53:55,390 --> 03:53:56,270
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: You're being modest.

3488
03:53:56,430 --> 03:53:59,010
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Secretary. Pero actually, no?

3489
03:53:59,010 --> 03:54:01,800
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kasi when you look at Vietnam, nakikita ko,

3490
03:54:01,800 --> 03:54:06,100
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: of course, Japan, Korea, malalayo na 'yan. Mas marami na rin silang computer, eh.

3491
03:54:06,100 --> 03:54:10,950
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: In our ratio po natin sa ating mga schools,

3492
03:54:10,950 --> 03:54:16,200
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: per school, per ano, hindi na per student, per school class na lang po.

3493
03:54:16,200 --> 03:54:22,150
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ilan po ang?are we behind when it comes to computers po para sa learning ng ating mga estudyante?

3494
03:54:22,150 --> 03:54:25,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Medyo ho nahuli ho tayo diyan.

3495
03:54:25,400 --> 03:54:32,110
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But the goal is really to have at least one computer lab in each school, Your Honor, para at least may optimum na setup.

3496
03:54:32,110 --> 03:54:36,190
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: there's such a thing as too much computer time also actually that's a new finding now

3497
03:54:36,190 --> 03:54:45,070
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That is why many countries, like the Nordic countries, bumabalik na po sa pen and paper actually, because dati one gadget, one learner sila, but hindi na po iyon ang standard ngayon.

3498
03:54:45,070 --> 03:54:48,270
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: they're limiting the computer used to one to three hours a week

3499
03:54:48,270 --> 03:54:50,430
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so that is attainable in my opinion uh

3500
03:54:50,430 --> 03:55:05,310
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: sa atin. Basta consistent tayo sa purchasing of our computers for the computer labs. And yun po ang importante po, dahil sa PISA, if you read the PISA report of 2018 and 2022,

3501
03:55:05,310 --> 03:55:10,350
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: many the feedback was that many of our learners were not familiar with digital technology

3502
03:55:10,350 --> 03:55:20,430
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And it was the first time that they encountered using a mouse during the exam itself. Kaya itong nahuling PISA exam noong 2025, sinigurado natin lahat na kukuha ng

3503
03:55:20,430 --> 03:55:30,990
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: exam, at least makaramdam na gumamit ng computer. Hindi sila manibago dahil sayang yung oras nila pag doon nila kakabisaduhin yung paggamit ng computer.

3504
03:55:30,990 --> 03:55:34,990
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Chair, thank you, Madam Chair. So yun nga, tama si Secretary na

3505
03:55:37,470 --> 03:55:42,510
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: at least one computer per classroom. I hope it is going to be achievable.

3506
03:55:44,110 --> 03:55:44,430
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Pagdating sa internet

3507
03:55:44,430 --> 03:55:51,900
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: connectivity natin, ano naman po ang ratio natin?

3508
03:55:51,900 --> 03:56:03,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Mga 19% lang ho ang schools?99% tayo may internet. 99 pala, sorry, 99%. Pero yung importanteng point diyan is yung ibang mababa po ang bandwidth.

3509
03:56:03,820 --> 03:56:13,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so we're trying to get to at least uh so there are 460 schools without internet

3510
03:56:13,970 --> 03:56:16,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Having said that, yung quality ng internet is variable.

3511
03:56:18,210 --> 03:56:24,130
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Sa iba, sa opisina lang ng principal may internet. So I guess the next goal is to aim for greater bandwidth in schools, so that you are able to

3512
03:56:24,130 --> 03:56:24,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: use

3513
03:56:24,690 --> 03:56:28,850
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: things like academy uh and other education software your honor

3514
03:56:30,530 --> 03:56:35,970
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Madam Chair. Secretary, I do not know if someone asked this question:

3515
03:56:35,970 --> 03:56:38,050
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: how do we integrate AI ngayon?

3516
03:56:41,410 --> 03:56:42,450
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kasi mukhang sabi nga ni Elon [unclear], in the next five years daw,

3517
03:56:44,210 --> 03:56:47,810
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: human robotics will be more intelligent than humans.

3518
03:56:48,370 --> 03:56:53,570
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Paano tayo mag-cope up in the next few years when it comes to AI?

3519
03:56:54,210 --> 03:56:59,810
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: May upside and downside po ang AI. So I think on the upside it can really help our teachers upskill,

3520
03:56:59,810 --> 03:57:04,850
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: especially when EDCOM has reported a skills mismatch, meaning yung nagtuturo ng science

3521
03:57:04,850 --> 03:57:08,050
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hindi pala science teacher, yung nagtuturo ng chemistry

3522
03:57:09,490 --> 03:57:16,690
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hindi naman pala expert sa chemistry. So yung mga ganon, I think AI can really help assist, and also yung personalized learning,

3523
03:57:17,250 --> 03:57:21,970
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: each learner can proceed at their own speed. So iyon ang upside ng AI. The downside is that there are

3524
03:57:21,970 --> 03:57:23,410
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: studies which show that uh

3525
03:57:23,570 --> 03:57:30,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ai can in very young children or in younger children ai can diminish the creative thinking and

3526
03:57:30,930 --> 03:57:39,650
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the critical faculties of our learners. So iyon ang babalansehin ho natin. You have to introduce it at the right age and

3527
03:57:39,650 --> 03:57:44,850
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: with the right safeguards uh and of course we must train our teachers to use it appropriately your

3528
03:57:44,850 --> 03:57:46,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

3529
03:57:46,200 --> 03:57:47,410
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Madam Chair.

3530
03:57:49,810 --> 03:57:52,290
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Siguro no, I am so?we are so lucky that our

3531
03:57:52,930 --> 03:57:54,290
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Secretary siya mismo sumasagot. Usually pinapasa yan, pero

3532
03:57:57,650 --> 03:58:00,770
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: I know you have enough intelligent people around you.

3533
03:58:01,570 --> 03:58:09,970
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Chair, you know, I saw firsthand during the visit of Secretary

3534
03:58:10,530 --> 03:58:11,010

03:59:01,090 --> 03:59:02,210
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: full support po kami

3570
03:59:02,210 --> 03:59:05,250
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you very much, Madam Chair, of course to the DepEd family.

3571
03:59:05,250 --> 03:59:05,970
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: thank you

3572
03:59:05,970 --> 03:59:09,730
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Maraming maraming salamat, Cong Presley. Mabuhay po kayo. God bless po. Thank you.

3573
03:59:10,690 --> 03:59:11,890
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: thank you very much

3574
03:59:11,890 --> 03:59:15,010
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Next to ask a question is Representative Antonino Roman.

3575
03:59:16,690 --> 03:59:18,210
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: magandang tanghali po

3576
03:59:19,090 --> 03:59:20,610
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Secretary at sa DepEd.

3577
03:59:21,330 --> 03:59:22,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Good afternoon, sir.

3578
03:59:22,210 --> 03:59:24,210
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: um

3579
03:59:24,210 --> 03:59:26,210
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: yung tanong ko

3580
03:59:26,210 --> 03:59:28,210
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Usually mga tao nababahala pag nakita nilang bumaba ang budget.

3581
03:59:28,210 --> 03:59:30,210
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: kayo po

3582
03:59:30,210 --> 03:59:32,210
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Sa tingin ko hindi kayo nababahala

3583
03:59:32,210 --> 03:59:34,210
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: dahil bumaba ang

3584
03:59:34,210 --> 03:59:36,210
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: budget ninyo ng

3585
03:59:36,210 --> 03:59:38,210
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: 39 billion tama po ba

3586
03:59:38,210 --> 03:59:40,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Opo, totoo po yun.

3587
03:59:40,210 --> 03:59:42,210
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: anong dahilan po ba't di kayo nababahala

3588
03:59:42,210 --> 03:59:44,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil alam ko hong maaga pa sa budgetary process, Your Honor,

3589
03:59:44,210 --> 03:59:48,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at saka merong mga nagmamahal sa edukasyon tulad ninyo,

3590
03:59:48,210 --> 03:59:50,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: tulad ni Cong Presley,

3591
03:59:50,210 --> 03:59:52,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Cong Bong,

3592
03:59:52,210 --> 03:59:54,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Cong Audrey, tsaka ni Chair Maricar.

3593
03:59:54,210 --> 04:00:00,210
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Yung nabawas po na 39 billion, alam natin yung history, yung kasaysayan

3594
04:00:00,210 --> 04:00:04,600
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: ng budget, kung bakit lumaki yung budget ng DepEd, at marahil

3595
04:00:04,600 --> 04:00:09,480
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: dahilan kung bakit yung obligation rate ninyo mababa dahil hindi pa ho ganap na maubos.

3596
04:00:09,480 --> 04:00:14,560
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Mauubos niyo ho ba? Tataas ho yung obligation rate niyo by year-end?

3597
04:00:14,560 --> 04:00:20,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor. We expect to reach high 80s, maybe low to mid-90s by year-end.

3598
04:00:20,820 --> 04:00:24,500
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Kasi pag hindi niyo sinabing maabot yon, wala kayong dahilan para tumaas ang

3599
04:00:24,500 --> 04:00:30,740
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: budget this year eh. Tama po. Tama po. So itong 39 billion na

3600
04:00:30,740 --> 04:00:35,060
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: nabawasan o mababawas sa budget ninyo, paano ho ito makakaapekto sa mga reporma na gusto niyong ilunsad?

3601
04:00:35,060 --> 04:00:41,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, I guess to take a few examples, Cong Tony, yung

3602
04:00:41,300 --> 04:00:48,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: feeding, for example, na-cut siya by around 14 or 15 billion.

3603
04:00:48,560 --> 04:00:54,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we'll we have a shorter feeding cycle 120 days versus 180 days we have less

3604
04:00:54,480 --> 04:00:58,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: students to be fed. You are talking about over a million students. We are feeding

3605
04:00:58,560 --> 04:01:02,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: around maybe four million this school year with the current budgetary

3606
04:01:02,940 --> 04:01:07,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: allocation. You are talking two to three million na lang ho, at

3607
04:01:07,000 --> 04:01:14,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: very young children, so Grade 1. Although sabi nga nila, the ideal is to

3608
04:01:14,380 --> 04:01:18,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: feed them much earlier, but definitely malaking tulong yun. Nakikita natin yung

3609
04:01:18,000 --> 04:01:21,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: learning outcomes nag-i-improve, yung attendance nag-i-improve, yung

3610
04:01:21,660 --> 04:01:24,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: timbang nila nag-i-improve din ho, which is

3611
04:01:24,300 --> 04:01:29,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: which is the goal of the uh feeding the school feeding program so that's one uh

3612
04:01:29,340 --> 04:01:36,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pangalawa is the infrastructure, Your Honor. So we got around

3613
04:01:36,420 --> 04:01:40,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 65 billion for new classrooms now we're getting around 14 billion I think 13

3614
04:01:40,800 --> 04:01:45,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: billion. So that is more of a return to the previous budgeting, no.

3615
04:01:45,240 --> 04:01:49,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and uh uh of course it will affect the rate at

3616
04:01:49,680 --> 04:01:54,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: which we can address the classroom deficit which stands at around 142 000.

3617
04:01:54,300 --> 04:02:00,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so if you there's a big difference between funding uh 18 000 classrooms in

3618
04:02:00,240 --> 04:02:05,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: one year versus funding just uh uh 4 000 or 5 000 and we know the cost of

3619
04:02:05,700 --> 04:02:09,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: construction is escalating so if you give the same amount you will be able to

3620
04:02:09,240 --> 04:02:13,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: build less given the rising cost of construction uh your ownership these are

3621
04:02:13,620 --> 04:02:16,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: just two examples your order we could talk about the computers we're only

3622
04:02:16,560 --> 04:02:20,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: giving 50,000 under current allocations. So yung goal ni Pangulo sana na mabigyan

3623
04:02:20,300 --> 04:02:22,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ang lahat ng teachers baka hindi ma-achieve

3624
04:02:24,300 --> 04:02:28,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at the current pace, Your Honor.

3625
04:02:28,200 --> 04:02:30,240
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Pag-idugtong po natin yung mga

3626
04:02:30,240 --> 04:02:33,240
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: reporma na gusto ninyong ilunsad na medyo

3627
04:02:33,240 --> 04:02:35,240
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: mahirapan kayo dahil binabaan

3628
04:02:35,240 --> 04:02:37,240
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: ng budget ninyo. Pag-uugnayin niyo po

3629
04:02:37,240 --> 04:02:39,240
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: iyan doon sa recommendation ng EDCOM 2 na

3630
04:02:39,240 --> 04:02:41,240
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: iyan doon sa recommendation ng EDCOM 2 na

3631
04:02:41,240 --> 04:02:43,240
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: halimbawa palakasin yung foundational

3632
04:02:43,240 --> 04:02:45,240
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: learning, na i-decentralize ang basic

3633
04:02:45,240 --> 04:02:47,240
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: education at iba pang bagay. Ano hong

3634
04:02:47,240 --> 04:02:49,240
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: aspeto o partikular na rekomendasyon ng

3635
04:02:49,240 --> 04:02:51,240
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: EDCOM 2 ang maapektuhan dahil sa

3636
04:02:51,240 --> 04:02:53,240
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: budget na yan?

3637
04:02:53,240 --> 04:02:54,300
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Pagbaba.

3638
04:02:57,040 --> 04:03:00,040
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Um.

3639
04:03:00,040 --> 04:03:02,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well,

3640
04:03:02,160 --> 04:03:12,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, EDCOM is calling for ten years of sustained 4 to 6 percent funding relative to GDP of the education budget, Your Honor. I think right now we fall short of that. So they believe that if we

3641
04:03:14,820 --> 04:03:17,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: do not do that for the next ten years, we will not be able to

3642
04:03:17,580 --> 04:03:18,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: resolve

3643
04:03:18,860 --> 04:03:21,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: many of our problems in education, or at least

3644
04:03:21,540 --> 04:03:22,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the

3645
04:03:22,000 --> 04:03:24,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pace of reform will not be able

3646
04:03:24,300 --> 04:03:32,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to keep up maybe with what other countries are doing also. So, yun ho yun, but I think that

3647
04:03:32,380 --> 04:03:39,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: again we go back to the basics. Infrastructure, feeding is crucial to foundational learning, and

3648
04:03:39,900 --> 04:03:43,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the reckoning point now is zero to eight for foundational learning, Your Honor.

3649
04:03:43,740 --> 04:03:50,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So those are the crucial years for laying the strong foundation for a child?s learning.

3650
04:03:50,180 --> 04:03:51,420
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Mr. Secretary,

3651
04:03:51,420 --> 04:04:02,060
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: dito po sa Teacher Education Council, bumaba po ng 203 million. This is the same question, just to

3652
04:04:02,060 --> 04:04:09,500
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: find out how it will impact your reforms. I do note that a substantial portion goes to scholarships

3653
04:04:09,500 --> 04:04:21,100
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: for teachers. But meron ho bang plano na turuan yung mga teachers ng different way of teaching

3654
04:04:21,820 --> 04:04:28,460
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: to promote critical thinking for example something that is more inquiry based and facilitative

3655
04:04:29,740 --> 04:04:35,980
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: more project-based learning because yeah you can they can take scholarships they can pursue a

3656
04:04:35,980 --> 04:04:43,900
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: master's degree but if it doesn't really um address or fill a gap in in teaching

3657
04:04:44,860 --> 04:04:46,620
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: to promote critical thinking,

3658
04:04:51,420 --> 04:04:55,820
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: parang hindi po tutok masyado doon sa problema na gusto nating punan.

3659
04:04:57,020 --> 04:05:01,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At tama ho kayo, Your Honor, and I could not agree with you more that we definitely need to switch. We are very fact-heavy

3660
04:05:01,820 --> 04:05:09,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: heavy and in the age of ai it's very inappropriate increasingly so so really the uh it's it's geared

3661
04:05:09,340 --> 04:05:15,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: towards problem solving and uh in fairness to the tec they're working with uh people like pnu up in

3662
04:05:15,740 --> 04:05:21,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: developing a new teachers curriculum and they're also working on you mentioned foundational learning

3663
04:05:21,420 --> 04:05:26,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor. They are also working on an early child care specialization because, believe it or not,

3664
04:05:26,540 --> 04:05:32,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we have very few experts who can teach reading to young kids so that's something that despite the

3665
04:05:33,180 --> 04:05:41,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: uh years of uh of a poor reading performance it's only now that we're really uh buckling down to

3666
04:05:41,420 --> 04:05:45,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: teaching uh reading expertise to young children so that's part of strengthening foundational

3667
04:05:45,740 --> 04:05:47,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: learning, Your Honor.

3668
04:05:47,400 --> 04:06:06,860
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Sana ho mabigyan ng ano, ma-upskill yung mga guro na gamitin yung ganong klaseng pagtuturo para yung mga bata mas relevant po yung kaalaman nila at mas na-appreciate nila yung natututunan nila sa classroom.

3669
04:06:06,860 --> 04:06:12,620
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: The other thing is this: something I find still conceptual.

3670
04:06:15,740 --> 04:06:33,820
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Sinabi po ng EDCOM na dapat i-decentralize yung basic education. Marahil sasang-ayon kayo na sa mga LGUs na malakas ang performance, mataas ang performance ng mga mag-aaral, malaki po ang involvement ng LGU.

3671
04:06:33,820 --> 04:06:39,420
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Sa inyong pananaw, how would you describe or envision

3672
04:06:41,900 --> 04:06:44,700
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: the right kind of LGU participation

3673
04:06:45,740 --> 04:06:48,060
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: in local education governance? How would that look?

3674
04:06:49,740 --> 04:06:55,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: uh i think we this is a lot of decision making would be delegated to the

3675
04:06:55,500 --> 04:07:00,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: regions a lot of funding would also be delegated to the regions and if possible to the sdos but

3676
04:07:00,620 --> 04:07:05,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: i remember when this was tackled in the in an edcom session in the university of makati

3677
04:07:05,260 --> 04:07:10,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: one of our guests was Jesli Lapus, former Secretary and former member of this chamber,

3678
04:07:10,220 --> 04:07:15,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and he said there's no point to decentralization if your leaders are not prepared to lead so i think

3679
04:07:15,740 --> 04:07:28,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: that is something we are taking seriously. Medyo nawala yun eh. Noong panahon nila Usec Garma when they were regional directors, there was training for higher-level positions in DepEd. Medyo nawala po yun.

3680
04:07:28,460 --> 04:07:32,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So training for the principals. Our teachers are brilliant but they are not

3681
04:07:32,060 --> 04:07:37,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: always the best administrators uh the best managers of people so these are skills that we

3682
04:07:37,660 --> 04:07:43,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: need to really strengthen in our people so that uh we can that dream of decentralization can

3683
04:07:43,740 --> 04:07:45,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: be achieved sooner rather than later.

3684
04:07:45,740 --> 04:07:50,540
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: What is the role of the local chief executive in that respect?

3685
04:07:50,540 --> 04:07:59,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: your honor well he has depending on the type of office of LGU that he leads but

3686
04:07:59,340 --> 04:08:03,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: certain LGUs have massive resources at their disposal so if they could partner

3687
04:08:03,840 --> 04:08:09,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and match what DepEd is doing on the ground,

3688
04:08:09,380 --> 04:08:13,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: classroom for one classroom and we've seen it in places like Iloilo where

3689
04:08:13,100 --> 04:08:17,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: decentralization under the auspices of EDCOM and Synergeia has been very

3690
04:08:17,340 --> 04:08:21,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: successful because there's a buy-in from all of the local government units

3691
04:08:21,960 --> 04:08:27,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: involved and all of the local chief executives are committed to not only

3692
04:08:27,500 --> 04:08:34,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: committing resources but even personnel manpower the time of their of their

3693
04:08:34,820 --> 04:08:41,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: officials to to working with DepEd in in solving some of the community's

3694
04:08:41,240 --> 04:08:42,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: problems

3695
04:08:42,400 --> 04:08:43,100
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: how would you

3696
04:08:43,100 --> 04:08:48,740
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: institutionalize that participation or involvement by the LGU the local school

3697
04:08:48,740 --> 04:08:51,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: board? We changed the menu, Your Honor. So

3698
04:08:51,780 --> 04:08:55,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: binago natin yung menu for the special education fund. Dati

3699
04:08:55,040 --> 04:09:01,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: mga uniform lang, sports equipment. So now it includes things like early child care,

3700
04:09:01,700 --> 04:09:08,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: digitalization remediation so the well of LGUs actually and the more

3701
04:09:08,860 --> 04:09:12,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: more enlightened LGUs already had a version of the ARAL Law even before the ARAL Law was

3702
04:09:12,400 --> 04:09:13,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: a

3703
04:09:13,100 --> 04:09:14,030
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in effect.

3704
04:09:14,030 --> 04:09:20,480
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Kaya ko natanong yun, because I am getting the feeling that DepEd national

3705
04:09:20,480 --> 04:09:28,560
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: is doing too much that's that's how it feels to me I think the use X and a sex

3706
04:09:28,560 --> 04:09:30,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think the Usecs and Asecs feel the same way.

3707
04:09:30,500 --> 04:09:35,180
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: And so the need to actually decentralize

3708
04:09:35,180 --> 04:09:43,000
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: it. Meron ho kayong magandang programa na

3709
04:09:43,000 --> 04:09:49,460
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: it is a humble program but I think it is effective. It sends the right signal. Ito pong Book Nook ninyo,

3710
04:09:49,460 --> 04:09:53,000
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Book Nook where you install parang libraries or reading hubs.

3711
04:09:53,000 --> 04:09:59,120
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Napuna ko ho meron akong isa sa Bataan, sa Pilar. Baka naman po dagdagan po natin

3712
04:09:59,120 --> 04:10:11,560
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: dagdagan po natin sa First District, anywhere in Hermosa or [unclear], like a Book Nook program. Sana ho puwede ho ba?

3713
04:10:11,560 --> 04:10:13,450
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor. We will.

3714
04:10:13,450 --> 04:10:14,160
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Ayan ha.

3715
04:10:14,160 --> 04:10:15,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We will make sure.

3716
04:10:15,400 --> 04:10:20,760
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Maraming salamat po.

3717
04:10:20,760 --> 04:10:22,640
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: But I am in full support of DepEd because I am a father to

3718
04:10:22,980 --> 04:10:30,180
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: three daughters, and I firmly believe in education. I hope that

3719
04:10:30,180 --> 04:10:36,120
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: sana ho yung mga recommendation po ng EDCOM 2 na magawan po ng ating paraan so that we can

3720
04:10:36,120 --> 04:10:40,020
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: move the needle, gain some traction over the years.

3721
04:10:40,020 --> 04:10:41,460
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Maraming salamat po.

3722
04:10:41,460 --> 04:10:44,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That is well taken. Maraming salamat po,

3723
04:10:44,100 --> 04:10:49,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Cong Tony Boy. Thank you po.

3724
04:10:49,500 --> 04:10:50,800
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Thank you.

3725
04:10:50,800 --> 04:10:53,900
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Next to ask a question is Representative Bong Suntay.

3726
04:10:53,900 --> 04:10:54,550
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Thank you.

3727
04:10:54,550 --> 04:11:05,710
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Magandang hapon, Secretary, and to DepEd. Well, I think there is no argument that a

3728
04:11:05,710 --> 04:11:10,750
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: lot of countries have prosper and develop because of the Investment because of the

3729
04:11:10,750 --> 04:11:17,230
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Investment made in education Singapore for one has no natural resources but they

3730
04:11:17,230 --> 04:11:21,290
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: they're one of the most prosperous because of the educated citizens indeed

3731
04:11:21,290 --> 04:11:24,190
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: that they have

3732
04:11:24,550 --> 04:11:28,550
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kaya dito sa atin, nabanggit kanina ni Cong Presley, nakakalungkot.

3733
04:11:28,550 --> 04:11:31,550
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Dati sa Asia, we were among the highest.

3734
04:11:31,550 --> 04:11:39,550
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now, if we follow yung PISA results assessment, we are among the lowest.

3735
04:11:39,550 --> 04:11:46,550
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And it has been consistent that nandoon tayo sa lowest.

3736
04:11:46,550 --> 04:11:50,550
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Magsimula muna ako dito sa appropriations natin, Secretary.

3737
04:11:50,550 --> 04:11:54,550
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: For fiscal year 2025, it was P734 billion.

3738
04:11:54,550 --> 04:11:57,550
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: It was increased noong 2026 to 958 billion.

3739
04:11:57,550 --> 04:12:04,550
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Noong 2027, bumaba naman to 914 billion.

3740
04:12:04,550 --> 04:12:08,550
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So yung total expenditure program declined by 3.9%.

3741
04:12:08,550 --> 04:12:10,550
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Bakit po naging ganoon?

3742
04:12:10,550 --> 04:12:15,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Eh alam naman natin na kailangan na kailangan yung education.

3743
04:12:15,150 --> 04:12:17,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, sir. We ask for a bigger budget.

3744
04:12:18,150 --> 04:12:20,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Opo. Tama ho kayo.

3745
04:12:20,150 --> 04:12:23,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tama yung figures na sinite ninyo, Cong Suntay, Cong Bong.

3746
04:12:23,150 --> 04:12:27,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But unfortunately, hindi natin control yung final figure natin.

3747
04:12:27,150 --> 04:12:30,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We proposed a much bigger figure,

3748
04:12:30,150 --> 04:12:33,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 1.1 trillion to the DBM.

3749
04:12:33,150 --> 04:12:35,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But, of course, we realize there's a lot of…

3750
04:12:35,150 --> 04:12:42,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We're not the only agency arguing for a larger budget.

3751
04:12:42,150 --> 04:12:45,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, that's the reality we face.

3752
04:12:45,150 --> 04:12:47,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But, hopefully…

3753
04:12:47,150 --> 04:12:50,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil nasa initial phase pa lang tayo ng budget process,

3754
04:12:50,150 --> 04:12:52,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: baka madagdagan ito over time.

3755
04:12:52,150 --> 04:12:55,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Because the increase that you mentioned from 2025 to 2026

3756
04:12:55,150 --> 04:13:00,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: was largely the product of congressional insertion.

3757
04:13:00,420 --> 04:13:09,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, for 2027, capital outlay is earmarked at P32.33 billion

3758
04:13:09,420 --> 04:13:16,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: compared approximately to the P99.47 billion for fiscal year 2026.

3759
04:13:16,420 --> 04:13:18,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, roughly, a reduction of 67.5%

3760
04:13:18,420 --> 04:13:22,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So pagka tinitingnan ko, parang

3761
04:13:22,420 --> 04:13:26,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: counterintuitive yung fiscal direction natin.

3762
04:13:26,420 --> 04:13:32,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Because DePED acknowledges that there is a shortage of classrooms.

3763
04:13:32,420 --> 04:13:34,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: But, at the same time,

3764
04:13:34,420 --> 04:13:39,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: binawasan by 67.5% yung for classrooms.

3765
04:13:39,420 --> 04:13:41,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: What could be the reason?

3766
04:13:41,420 --> 04:13:46,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think it is largely the level of the 2026 NEP.

3767
04:13:46,420 --> 04:13:47,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Nadagdagan ho talaga yung capital outlay

3768
04:13:47,420 --> 04:13:51,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng 2026 budget during the congressional stage, Your Honor,

3769
04:13:51,420 --> 04:13:56,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: during the congressional stage, Your Honor,

3770
04:13:56,420 --> 04:13:58,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: dito sa House at saka sa Senado,

3771
04:13:58,420 --> 04:14:00,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: doon nadagdagan nang malaki.

3772
04:14:00,420 --> 04:14:02,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And I think in the bicameral as well,

3773
04:14:02,420 --> 04:14:04,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: nadagdagan din ho siya.

3774
04:14:04,420 --> 04:14:07,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And, of course, I'm sure you're also aware

3775
04:14:07,420 --> 04:14:10,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na medyo sumama rin yung lagay ng ating ekonomiya.

3776
04:14:10,420 --> 04:14:15,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, I think the collections are also probably not as good

3777
04:14:15,420 --> 04:14:16,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: as anticipated, Your Honor.

3778
04:14:17,420 --> 04:14:19,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kagaya sir ng nabanggit ninyo kanina,

3779
04:14:19,420 --> 04:14:25,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: lumaki yung budget allocation mainly because of congressional insertions.

3780
04:14:25,420 --> 04:14:29,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Maraming mga nalagay na pondo

3781
04:14:29,420 --> 04:14:33,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: sa iba?t ibang distrito,

3782
04:14:33,420 --> 04:14:38,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: which did not result in an equitable distribution

3783
04:14:38,420 --> 04:14:42,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ng talagang kailangan dito sa bansa natin.

3784
04:14:42,420 --> 04:14:44,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: For example, in terms of school building.

3785
04:14:44,420 --> 04:14:46,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pag tinitingnan ko kasi yung performance,

3786
04:14:46,420 --> 04:14:51,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: for 2025, the target for new classrooms to be constructed

3787
04:14:51,420 --> 04:14:53,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: was supposedly 6,000,

3788
04:14:53,420 --> 04:14:56,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: pero 99 lang yung natapos.

3789
04:14:56,420 --> 04:14:59,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: It is an accomplishment rate of 1.65%.

3790
04:15:00,000 --> 04:15:14,120
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: For 2026, supposedly 4,869 new classrooms. Pero palagay ko we are also short. Pero for 2027

3791
04:15:14,120 --> 04:15:23,250
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ang target na lang, ilan na lang? Ano yung mainly dahilan, Sec, kung bakit hindi

3792
04:15:23,250 --> 04:15:30,000
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: sobrang layo sa target nitong na-accomplish?

3793
04:15:30,000 --> 04:15:32,770
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think maybe absorptive capacity is one.

3794
04:15:32,770 --> 04:15:39,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: capacities one really took on a lot of projects the infrastructure agencies

3795
04:15:39,150 --> 04:15:45,810
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Another is priorities. Baka hindi naging priority din ang school buildings.

3796
04:15:45,810 --> 04:15:51,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: why the president suggested a approach where we use the local government unit

3797
04:15:51,930 --> 04:15:53,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: capacities your honor so

3798
04:15:53,230 --> 04:15:58,770
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kayo po sa QC, sa mga lungsod na sanay na gumawa ng classrooms, we have signed

3799
04:15:58,770 --> 04:16:02,670
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: memoranda with all of them all the city practically all the cities practically

3800
04:16:02,670 --> 04:16:08,730
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: all the provinces and some municipalities with the capability to to bid out

3801
04:16:08,730 --> 04:16:16,590
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: classrooms. We have now signed with about 300-plus LGUs. So I

3802
04:16:16,590 --> 04:16:20,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: anticipate we don't see the results yet but infrastructure is a little slow

3803
04:16:20,710 --> 04:16:21,390
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: moving

3804
04:16:21,390 --> 04:16:22,470
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: kumpara po sa

3805
04:16:22,470 --> 04:16:22,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: capital

3806
04:16:23,230 --> 04:16:29,950
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: capital outlay is a little more slow-moving than personnel services or MOOE. It is really the

3807
04:16:29,950 --> 04:16:33,490
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: slowest moving item if we look at it on a one and a half or two year horizon I

3808
04:16:33,490 --> 04:16:36,670
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: think the utilization of the budget would be much better

3809
04:16:36,670 --> 04:16:47,770
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Yeah, kasi I hope it would become effective rin, kasi kagaya for 2026, a new policy direction

3810
04:16:47,770 --> 04:16:51,230
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: was done by DepEd and DPWH, di ba? Kinlasterize yung mga construction

3811
04:16:53,230 --> 04:17:03,270
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: of new school buildings, especially for mga LGUs that do not have the capacity to bid out and construct the projects.

3812
04:17:03,270 --> 04:17:05,870
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero even if it was clusterized for 2026,

3813
04:17:05,870 --> 04:17:13,070
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ang laki pa rin ng shortfall. It did not result in the number of classrooms that was really needed.

3814
04:17:13,070 --> 04:17:18,970
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: well still early in the day your honor I think many of these classrooms and lgs are in the process

3815
04:17:19,090 --> 04:17:26,130
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of uh bidding out these classrooms and uh i've seen some who are already constructing so i think

3816
04:17:26,130 --> 04:17:31,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the situation will change very much in the next few months, Your Honor.

3817
04:17:31,600 --> 04:17:32,110
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay, in terms of

3818
04:17:32,110 --> 04:17:37,190
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: prioritization nitong school building, do we have a master list kung ano dapat unahin, kung saan dapat lagyan? At nasusundan ba yung master list na ito?

3819
04:17:37,190 --> 04:17:52,050
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, we have a congestion index, Your Honor. I mean it is indicative of the

3820
04:17:52,050 --> 04:17:56,270
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: uh and of course our priorities really the most crowded schools which are the

3821
04:17:56,270 --> 04:18:01,510
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: those with two or three shifts your honor so many of these cluster in uh the urban areas

3822
04:18:01,510 --> 04:18:07,170
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: particularly ncr region 3 region 4a region 7 among others

3823
04:18:07,190 --> 04:18:09,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Second, we have the?

3824
04:18:09,800 --> 04:18:11,730
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Is this master list published

3825
04:18:11,730 --> 04:18:25,890
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: para makita ng lahat kung saan napupunta, and everyone can follow kung talagang kung may isang lugar na in-allocate, kung nagawa doon o hindi? So that everyone could follow it.

3826
04:18:25,890 --> 04:18:29,620
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Puwede pong makakuha before plenary? And then, well,

3827
04:18:29,620 --> 04:18:33,350
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor.

3828
04:18:42,690 --> 04:18:52,700
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: magkaiba yung result ng EDCOM 2. I think ang sinabi nilang shortage was 166,000 classrooms. DepEd naman, I think nasa 140,000.

3829
04:18:52,700 --> 04:18:56,950
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We already updated their figures, Your Honor. They were using an

3830
04:18:56,950 --> 04:18:59,530
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: older figure, Your Honor.

3831
04:18:59,530 --> 04:19:01,640
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So mas tama yung 143 na given?

3832
04:19:01,640 --> 04:19:04,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor.

3833
04:19:04,080 --> 04:19:05,590
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now, with regards

3834
04:19:05,590 --> 04:19:11,070
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: naman doon sa ating senior high school

3835
04:19:11,070 --> 04:19:12,610
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: voucher program,

3836
04:19:12,690 --> 04:19:33,160
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: I think nagkaroon tayo ng problema dito with regards to yung mga ghost beneficiaries. Ano yung ginawa nating bagong control, safeguard, so that hindi na maulit ito?

3837
04:19:33,160 --> 04:19:40,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor, there were admittedly not too many safeguards before, so now we have instituted

3838
04:19:40,480 --> 04:19:44,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: many safeguards at various levels so at the school level

3839
04:19:44,680 --> 04:19:52,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at the level of PEAC, which is the council that grants the vouchers, which DepEd chairs.

3840
04:19:52,180 --> 04:19:56,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so there's five layers of validation your honor number one there's validation via the

3841
04:19:56,980 --> 04:20:02,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: learner information system or lis through the application programming interface so this

3842
04:20:02,940 --> 04:20:07,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: cross checks the the information or the lis of depth and confirm that learners are actually

3843
04:20:07,900 --> 04:20:09,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: enrolled in the school

3844
04:20:09,320 --> 04:20:14,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pangalawa, yung central office validation. This is a second layer of validation which reviews billing statements

3845
04:20:14,680 --> 04:20:16,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at the central office level to identify discrepancies with the LIS.

3846
04:20:16,980 --> 04:20:42,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So payments are not made until issues are resolved. Dati kasi bayad kaagad si DepEd. Number three, we have post-audit monitoring by PEAC, which administers the voucher system. PEAC conducts post-audit visits to participating private schools to check compliance with guidelines and accuracy of submitted data. Naging masigasig na rin po dito ang PEAC

3847
04:20:42,680 --> 04:20:44,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because ayaw nilang?

3848
04:20:44,520 --> 04:20:49,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the violators are not the traditional schools but some of these new schools which sprouted out

3849
04:20:49,320 --> 04:20:54,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in the wake of K-to-12 reform para lang makapag-provide ng senior high school

3850
04:20:55,960 --> 04:21:02,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pero maraming ghost beneficiaries, Your Honor. Pang-apat po, yung regional offices and school division offices also conduct on-site

3851
04:21:02,200 --> 04:21:07,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: inspections and submit reports for further validation. At panghuli, end-of-school-year PEAC

3852
04:21:07,720 --> 04:21:11,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: validation, where PEAC conducts a final validation at the end of the school year

3853
04:21:11,960 --> 04:21:16,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to confirm the learner is still enrolled and up-to-date yung kanyang enrollment status.

3854
04:21:21,640 --> 04:21:30,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At siguro idagdag ko na rin po yung fact na nag-file tayo ng maraming kaso, and we have secured one conviction. One conviction from the RTC, and we have four cases filed, Your Honor.

3855
04:21:30,840 --> 04:21:33,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So I think there will be a deterrent effect, kasi

3856
04:21:39,880 --> 04:21:41,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: dati matatapang po yung mga eskwelahan at talagang nagbi-build sila ng mga fictitious. But now I do not think people will

3857
04:21:41,960 --> 04:21:44,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: think twice before doing this modus operandi.

3858
04:21:44,300 --> 04:21:46,520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, Sec, it would be safe to say that with

3859
04:21:46,520 --> 04:21:51,720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the implementation of these new regulations and safeguards, hindi na? we would be able to minimize,

3860
04:21:53,080 --> 04:21:57,640
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: mahirap naman sabihin na totally it will be eradicated, but it will drastically minimize the occurrence

3861
04:21:57,640 --> 04:22:01,440
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: of a repeat of that problem.

3862
04:22:01,440 --> 04:22:02,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tama po, Your Honor.

3863
04:22:02,480 --> 04:22:03,480
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And then lastly,

3864
04:22:04,680 --> 04:22:10,360
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: uh of course it's one thing if we want to invest in education it's one thing to construct

3865
04:22:10,360 --> 04:22:11,240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: school buildings

3866
04:22:11,960 --> 04:22:13,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: classrooms it's another thing

3867
04:22:13,960 --> 04:22:15,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: kailangan equally mag-invest rin tayo sa

3868
04:22:15,960 --> 04:22:17,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: capability at capacity

3869
04:22:17,960 --> 04:22:19,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ng mga teachers naman natin to improve.

3870
04:22:19,960 --> 04:22:21,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: in fact if we compare

3871
04:22:22,840 --> 04:22:23,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: kagaya sa

3872
04:22:23,960 --> 04:22:25,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: China, last September

3873
04:22:25,960 --> 04:22:29,240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: meron silang ni-launch na AI Plus Education program.

3874
04:22:29,240 --> 04:22:31,240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Naging mandatory yung

3875
04:22:31,400 --> 04:22:33,400
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: AI education for

3876
04:22:33,880 --> 04:22:35,880
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: as early as primary school

3877
04:22:37,080 --> 04:22:39,080
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: elementary pupils. Parang napag-iwanan na tayo nang husto.

3878
04:22:41,960 --> 04:22:49,800
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: so what percentage of the budget would be utilized to improve the skills of the teachers

3879
04:22:50,440 --> 04:22:53,000
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: and maybe upgrade yung ating curriculum?

3880
04:22:54,680 --> 04:23:00,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We have a 3 billion budget with the National Educators Academy of the Philippines, or NEAP.

3881
04:23:00,280 --> 04:23:06,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: that's to train that's the body which trains our uh our teachers in depth ed your honor so

3882
04:23:07,960 --> 04:23:11,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: that one will really need to modernize what we teach them and

3883
04:23:11,960 --> 04:23:17,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: make sure it's responsive to the needs of the education system and our learners and we also have a

3884
04:23:17,160 --> 04:23:25,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: One innovation we pursued is we have a very good AI center, the ECAIR,

3885
04:23:25,080 --> 04:23:30,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: for artificial intelligence research which has 115 million budget of course we'd like to

3886
04:23:31,640 --> 04:23:36,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: give them more but they have really helped us approach problems from a different dimension so

3887
04:23:36,040 --> 04:23:41,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung AI influences teachers; it also influences the central office in how we approach problems.

3888
04:23:41,800 --> 04:23:44,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It makes life, like yung problem of congestion for instance,

3889
04:23:47,080 --> 04:23:51,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: nai-match nila sa mga private schools. So we talked about the voucher system.

3890
04:23:51,880 --> 04:23:57,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: very well the problems that depth ed faces including stunting including some of our

3891
04:23:57,560 --> 04:24:05,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: infrastructure projects uh whether we have a new system where uh they're able to predict how many

3892
04:24:05,160 --> 04:24:10,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: schools will be affected by a given typhoon approaching, so that the night before mag-suspend na ng pasok

3893
04:24:10,600 --> 04:24:11,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and

3894
04:24:11,800 --> 04:24:16,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: you can already distribute learning materials hindi na after the fact, Your Honor.

3895
04:24:16,840 --> 04:24:22,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: honor so these are some of the things that the technology is uh helping us be better at our jobs

3896
04:24:22,520 --> 04:24:23,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

3897
04:24:23,600 --> 04:24:26,680
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Well, thank you very much, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary.

3898
04:24:26,680 --> 04:24:28,680
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: At sana it could help nga dahil sobrang dami

3899
04:24:36,680 --> 04:24:37,400
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: nating cancellation ng mga klase.

3900
04:24:37,400 --> 04:24:39,240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kawawa naman yung mga estudyante natin.

3901
04:24:39,240 --> 04:24:39,880
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Wala nang natututunan.

3902
04:24:39,880 --> 04:24:41,640
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Baka it could be compensated in some other way.

3903
04:24:41,640 --> 04:24:47,760
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: If you look, naalala ko nung bata ako mataas na yung tubig, may pasok pa rin, but you know it allows us to learn more. At

3904
04:24:47,760 --> 04:24:58,680
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: as I mentioned, napakaimportante ng education, and makakaasa kayo ng ating buong suporta sa DepEd, na

3905
04:24:58,680 --> 04:25:02,220
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: their class because education is very important if we want our country to

3906
04:25:02,220 --> 04:25:07,920
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: prosper and give our the Filipino people a chance to prosper thank you very much

3907
04:25:07,920 --> 04:25:08,530
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Madam Chair.

04:25:47,280 --> 04:25:51,280
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Magandang hapon sa napakagaling na kalihim ng DepEd.

3918
04:25:51,280 --> 04:25:54,280
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, tama po ba

3919
04:25:54,280 --> 04:25:58,280
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: na sa 2027 NEP ninyo ay bumaba

3920
04:25:58,280 --> 04:26:06,280
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: mula 958.7 billion to 914.2 billion pesos?

3921
04:26:06,280 --> 04:26:07,280
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Mas mababa ng 44.4 billion.

3922
04:26:07,920 --> 04:26:11,320
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: At ang capital outlay ay bumaba rin

3923
04:26:11,320 --> 04:26:16,200
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: mula 90.3 billion to 30.5 billion na lang.

3924
04:26:16,200 --> 04:26:21,680
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Halos two thirds ang nawala.

3925
04:26:21,680 --> 04:26:23,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Two thirds?

3926
04:26:23,540 --> 04:26:27,840
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Yes. Two thirds of the capital outlay.

3927
04:26:27,840 --> 04:26:30,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tama po iyon, Your Honor.

3928
04:26:30,860 --> 04:26:31,720
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Okay. Thank you.

3929
04:26:31,720 --> 04:26:35,420
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Yung sa carryover na mga funds, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary,

3930
04:26:35,420 --> 04:26:45,180
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Observe natin na halos taon-taon meron mga 50 to 60 billion na na-carry over sa kalipas na taon at sa susunod na taon.

3931
04:26:45,300 --> 04:26:56,000
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Yung 54.8 billion pesos mula sa 2025 funds na na-carry over sa 2026 as unspent o hindi na gamit.

3932
04:26:56,000 --> 04:27:02,000
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: At ang funds na ito ay mag-expire ba sa December 31 this year?

3933
04:27:02,000 --> 04:27:15,980
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: At ang main reasons ba nito ay ang late release, procurement timelines, at yung one-year window lang para sa three-year building and not refusal to spend the funds mula sa department?

3934
04:27:17,400 --> 04:27:19,280
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Mr. Chair, Madam Chair.

3935
04:27:19,620 --> 04:27:21,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

3936
04:27:21,800 --> 04:27:29,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasi yung school year po hindi tugma sa calendar year. Kaya yung programa na-implement in the second semester.

3937
04:27:29,580 --> 04:27:31,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So carry over talaga po siya sa next year.

3938
04:27:32,000 --> 04:27:36,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So things like feeding, ginaganap po yun sa second semester.

3939
04:27:37,100 --> 04:27:40,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So yung bayad doon, second semester din po. Kaya nakikary over po siya.

3940
04:27:41,000 --> 04:27:44,360
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasama po dyan yung voucher system.

3941
04:27:44,720 --> 04:27:46,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Hindi basta-basta tayo nagbabayad in advance.

3942
04:27:46,900 --> 04:27:51,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tine-check mo natin doon sa pagtatanong ni Kong Suntay na ibanggit po namin.

3943
04:27:51,900 --> 04:27:54,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Meron tayong mga safeguards.

3944
04:27:56,020 --> 04:27:58,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And one of these is the payment after.

3945
04:27:58,940 --> 04:27:59,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Bina-verify natin.

3946
04:28:00,040 --> 04:28:01,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dati kasi binabayaran na lang ng...

3947
04:28:02,000 --> 04:28:02,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng DepEd.

3948
04:28:02,740 --> 04:28:10,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ngayon talagang maingat na po tayo sa pagbayad at ini-insure natin na walang ghost beneficiaries at talagang naka-enroll po yung bata.

3949
04:28:11,120 --> 04:28:14,540
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Paano makatulong ang house nito, Mr. Secretary?

3950
04:28:15,320 --> 04:28:16,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kasi one year lang yung ano eh.

3951
04:28:16,760 --> 04:28:19,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tumatanggap naman po kami ng dagdag na budget kung...

3952
04:28:22,120 --> 04:28:24,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kung naisipan ninyong dagdagan, pwede rin oh.

3953
04:28:24,620 --> 04:28:26,620
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Okay. Dapat dagdagan, no?

3954
04:28:27,540 --> 04:28:31,440
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Doon naman sa classrooms, Madam Chair.

3955
04:28:32,000 --> 04:28:43,280
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Mr. Secretary, na ang target sa NEP ninyo sa classrooms ay para sa 2027 ay 700 from 4,869 this year, 2026.

3956
04:28:43,840 --> 04:28:47,780
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Against sa backlog natin na halos 145,000.

3957
04:28:48,440 --> 04:28:58,380
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: At sa 24,964 classrooms funded in 2026, ilan dito ang makakomplete doon sa 2027, ilan din ang makakomplete doon sa 2028,

3958
04:28:58,380 --> 04:29:01,280
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: at ilan din ang bagong classroom kaya.

3959
04:29:02,000 --> 04:29:03,400
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Isimula ng 2027.

3960
04:29:04,920 --> 04:29:10,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Mahirap po isagutin po yun dahil hindi na po ahensya ang gagawahulat ng construction eh.

3961
04:29:10,560 --> 04:29:13,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, ibig sabihin, hindi walang standard time yun.

3962
04:29:13,560 --> 04:29:18,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Depende na po yun sa local government unit kung mabilis siya o mabagal.

3963
04:29:18,640 --> 04:29:26,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ang sabi sa amin ng ibang gobernador, magagawa nila sa loob ng dalawa to tatlong buwan ang mga classroom projects nila.

3964
04:29:26,160 --> 04:29:31,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, kung ganun ang sitwasyon, then we should be seeing a lot of...

3965
04:29:32,000 --> 04:29:39,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Sa ating mga classroom projects ang ma-inaugurate sa first half of 2026.

3966
04:29:39,800 --> 04:29:45,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But I think the real construction is a two-year horizon.

3967
04:29:45,900 --> 04:29:48,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In fact, may mga lumalampas pa sa two years.

3968
04:29:48,120 --> 04:29:57,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In fact, nakikita ho natin yung we have classrooms coming or being completed as early, dating back to as early as pre-pandemic pa ho.

3969
04:29:58,040 --> 04:29:59,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, talagang nagkaroon ng delays.

3970
04:30:00,000 --> 04:30:18,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So mahirap ho sagutin iyon. But definitely ang masasabi ho natin is by the first few months of 2027 mapag-umpisahan na ho natin yung over 30,000 classrooms, Your Honor.

3971

4017
04:33:48,530 --> 04:33:55,530
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: para sa proteksyon ng mga mag-aaral pero bakit wala ito sa nep ng 2027

4018
04:33:55,530 --> 04:33:56,530
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Magkano yung

4019
04:33:56,530 --> 04:33:57,530
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: proposed amount sana ninyo

4020
04:33:57,530 --> 04:33:59,530
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: para dito?

4021
04:33:59,530 --> 04:34:12,530
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Kung kukunin ito sa MOOE ng paaralan, yung pambili ng metal detectors, CCTV at ibang mga kagamitan para sa safety and security,

4022
04:34:15,700 --> 04:34:24,230
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: aagaw pa sa MOOE natin doon sa bayarin ng kuryente, Mr. Secretary.

4023
04:34:24,230 --> 04:34:30,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: well hindi sapat po yung MOOE ng mga eskwelahan sa pagbayad po ng security guard

4024
04:34:30,230 --> 04:34:38,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at pagbili po ng ibang kagamitan at pati sa pagfe-fence dahil masyadong malaki po yung requirement nito

4025
04:34:38,230 --> 04:34:45,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at sa katanungan po ninyo kung bakit di siya nasama sa nep kasi naipasa na po yung nep sa kongreso by that time your honor

4026
04:34:45,230 --> 04:34:53,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: kaya ngayon po kami nagbibigay ng request to fund all of these requirements dahil nag-conduct po kami ng school audit

4027
04:34:53,230 --> 04:34:58,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tinanong natin lahat nung over 40,000 schools ano yung kakulangan nila in terms of

4028
04:34:58,230 --> 04:34:59,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: providing

4029
04:35:00,230 --> 04:35:07,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: providing what we might term an ideal setup to ensure a safe school. Ito po yung mga sagot nila.

4030
04:35:07,230 --> 04:35:13,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung iba walang bakod, yung iba walang security guard, yung iba local government ang nagbibigay ng security guard

4031
04:35:13,230 --> 04:35:20,230
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yung iba sira na po yung bakod nila so may pumapasok at labas lang po sa kanilang mga eskwelahan

4032
04:35:20,230 --> 04:35:28,230
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Okay, Madam Chair, for the record, ang 54 billion pesos na hindi nagastos ay

4033
04:35:28,230 --> 04:35:30,230
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: totoo at totoo rin

4034
04:35:30,230 --> 04:35:36,230
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: ang reason ng DBM. Pero ang pag-cut ng 44 billion pesos ay hindi solusyon sa problemang ito.

4035
04:35:36,230 --> 04:35:40,230
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: hindi ito nakakatulong para sa kapakanan ng ating mga mag-aaral

4036
04:35:40,230 --> 04:35:48,230
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: Through this representation, Madam Chair, I manifest na sana naman ay dagdagan ng pondo ang DepEd

4037
04:35:48,230 --> 04:35:56,230
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: at huwag nating bawasan dahil lang sa isyo ng unspent funds or underutilization isyo dahil mga kabataan ang matatamaan

4038
04:35:56,230 --> 04:35:58,230
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: maraming salamat madam chair

4039
04:35:58,230 --> 04:35:59,230
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: maraming salamat kong Elmer.

4040
04:36:00,230 --> 04:36:01,230
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos: maraming salamat madam chair

4041
04:36:01,230 --> 04:36:10,960
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: next to us question is from the minority the chair would like to recognize representative Robert Nazal

4042
04:36:10,960 --> 04:36:15,550
Rep. Roberto Nazal: thank you madam chair

4043
04:36:15,550 --> 04:36:19,550
Rep. Roberto Nazal: good afternoon to Mr. Secretary

4044
04:36:19,550 --> 04:36:21,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Gandang hapon po, Cong Robert.

4045
04:36:21,550 --> 04:36:23,550
Rep. Roberto Nazal: good afternoon to the DPED family

4046
04:36:23,550 --> 04:36:25,550
Rep. Roberto Nazal: I'll go right to my questions

4047
04:36:25,550 --> 04:36:27,550
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair

4048
04:36:27,550 --> 04:36:32,550
Rep. Roberto Nazal: the anti-bullying act says severe or repeated

4049
04:36:32,550 --> 04:36:38,550
Rep. Roberto Nazal: so even one severe act of physical violence can already qualify as bullying

4050
04:36:38,550 --> 04:36:39,550
Rep. Roberto Nazal: tama po ba?

4051
04:36:39,550 --> 04:36:43,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: tama ho in fact it does not have to amount to violence

4052
04:36:43,550 --> 04:36:46,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: it doesn't have to be a physical act it can be a threat

4053
04:36:46,550 --> 04:36:49,550
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: or even the words can amount to bullying already

4054
04:36:49,550 --> 04:36:56,550
Rep. Roberto Nazal: so given that po will DPED direct schools not to dismiss serious violence simply because

4055
04:36:56,550 --> 04:37:01,550
Rep. Roberto Nazal: first offensya or hindi repetitive and require immediate protection of the victim?

4056
04:37:01,550 --> 04:37:04,550
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yes your honor we'll do that

4057
04:37:04,550 --> 04:37:06,550
Rep. Roberto Nazal: thank you thank you for that Mr. Chair

4058
04:37:06,550 --> 04:37:13,410
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair we support on age appropriateness lang po

4059
04:37:13,410 --> 04:37:21,410
Rep. Roberto Nazal: We support RH education and we support LGBTQIA learners from discrimination.

4060
04:37:21,410 --> 04:37:25,410
Rep. Roberto Nazal: ang concern lang po namin age appropriateness

4061
04:37:25,410 --> 04:37:31,410
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Secretary kasi may material po na inuugnay sa grade 1 which says

4062
04:37:31,410 --> 04:37:36,410
Rep. Roberto Nazal: kung ikaw ay isang lalaki na may pusong babae

4063
04:37:36,410 --> 04:37:40,410
Rep. Roberto Nazal: o kaya ay isang babae na may pusong lalaki

4064
04:37:40,410 --> 04:37:42,410
Rep. Roberto Nazal: tanggapin mo ito

4065
04:37:42,410 --> 04:37:45,410
Rep. Roberto Nazal: ipakita ang tunay na ikaw

4066
04:37:45,410 --> 04:37:50,410
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Is this actually an approved Grade 1 DepEd material?

4067
04:37:50,410 --> 04:37:52,410
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yes or no

4068
04:37:52,410 --> 04:37:59,410
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I'll have to ask our learning system strand with your indulgence Madam Chair your honor

4069

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Baka Janir, ikaw ba gumawa?

4070
04:38:01,410 --> 04:38:18,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we need to verify your honor maybe if you could help us by pointing out the source of the document

4071
04:38:18,710 --> 04:38:23,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: then we could identify because like in private schools for instance your honor

04:40:09,170 --> 04:40:21,470
Rep. Roberto Nazal: does this extend to elementary learners sa grade school po

4094
04:40:21,470 --> 04:40:24,470
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we don't require students to attend these events your honor

4095
04:40:24,470 --> 04:40:30,470
Rep. Roberto Nazal: I ask kasi po we received a complaint from a parent whose grade 2 child

04:40:30,470 --> 04:40:36,470
Rep. Roberto Nazal: was reported reportedly made to participate in a pride month celebration

4097
04:40:36,470 --> 04:40:39,470
Rep. Roberto Nazal: so kung ganun po what is DPED scientific

4098
04:40:39,470 --> 04:40:46,470
Rep. Roberto Nazal: and child development basis for determining that these activities are age appropriate for children

04:41:11,740 --> 04:41:19,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I don?t think these should be sanctioned events,

4106
04:41:19,620 --> 04:41:23,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: or we should not impose attendance at these events.

4107
04:41:23,620 --> 04:41:27,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: if ever they are they should be purely voluntary your honor

4111
04:41:42,620 --> 04:41:44,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we have an existing policy that it should

4112
04:41:44,620 --> 04:41:46,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: only apply to employees if they wish

4113
04:41:46,620 --> 04:41:48,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and not to the learners your honor

4114
04:41:48,620 --> 04:41:51,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so we can we will reiterate that policy

4115
04:41:51,620 --> 04:41:55,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and make sure there is no coercion or compulsion

4116
04:41:55,620 --> 04:41:57,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in these activities your honor

4117
04:41:57,620 --> 04:41:58,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: thank you for that

4118
04:41:58,620 --> 04:42:01,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: baka po we can come up with a specific policy

4119
04:42:01,620 --> 04:42:04,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: na pwede na natin ilabas

4120
04:42:04,620 --> 04:42:06,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: and a memorandum immediately

4121
04:42:06,620 --> 04:42:09,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we can do a reiteration we can do that ASAP your honor

4122
04:42:09,620 --> 04:42:12,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: thank you for that Mr. Chair

4123
04:42:12,620 --> 04:42:14,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: thank you for that Madam Chair Mr. Secretary Madam Chair

4124
04:42:14,620 --> 04:42:17,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: I'll go to my next question

4125
04:42:17,620 --> 04:42:24,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair DPED now accommodates APDS loans up to seven years

4126
04:42:24,620 --> 04:42:28,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: but the Magna Carta prohibits salary deductions

4127
04:42:28,620 --> 04:42:31,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: except under authority of law

4128
04:42:31,620 --> 04:42:36,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: while the GAA authority for authorized deductions is enacted annually

4129
04:42:36,620 --> 04:42:41,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: so my question is what is DPED's specific legal basis

4130
04:42:41,620 --> 04:42:43,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: for accommodating automatic payroll deductions?

4131
04:42:44,620 --> 04:42:48,890
Rep. Roberto Nazal: for seven years

4132
04:42:48,890 --> 04:42:52,890
Rep. Roberto Nazal: and this is not just a legal issue Madam Chair Mr. Secretary

4133
04:42:52,890 --> 04:42:56,890
Rep. Roberto Nazal: documented na rin ang problema ng teachers na may multiple loans

4134
04:42:56,890 --> 04:43:02,890
Rep. Roberto Nazal: sa ATM at halos wala nang nauuwing sweldo dahil lubog na po sa utang.

4135
04:43:02,890 --> 04:43:07,900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: before extending the loan period to seven years

4136
04:43:07,900 --> 04:43:10,900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: did DPED study whether this helps teachers

4137
04:43:10,900 --> 04:43:13,900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: or simply keeps them indebted longer

4138
04:43:13,900 --> 04:43:17,900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: how many teachers today have multiple APDS loans

4139
04:43:17,900 --> 04:43:22,900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: and what is their actual average and median take home pay after deductions?

4140
04:43:22,900 --> 04:43:24,900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: meron po ba tayong data?

4141
04:43:24,900 --> 04:43:29,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: your honor yung we're still compliant with the GAA provision

4142
04:43:29,900 --> 04:43:36,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: which requires that the 5,000 net must take home pay of the teacher

4143
04:43:36,900 --> 04:43:40,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: cannot be touched by financial institutions

4144
04:43:40,900 --> 04:43:45,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and yun po ang clamor ng ating mga teachers for a longer payment period

4145
04:43:45,900 --> 04:43:48,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and lower interest of course

4146
04:43:48,900 --> 04:43:54,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so I think yung mga when we consulted teachers and financial institutions

4147
04:43:54,900 --> 04:43:58,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: they said they're limited by the BSP regulations on this

4148
04:43:58,900 --> 04:44:02,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so sumulat kami sa Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas or BSP

4149
04:44:02,900 --> 04:44:07,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: para humingi ng opinion at kung pwedeng i-extend po sa seven years

4150
04:44:07,900 --> 04:44:09,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: as requested by our teachers

4151
04:44:09,900 --> 04:44:14,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because many of our teachers stay in the department for a long time

4152
04:44:18,240 --> 04:44:24,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and they're willing to have these longer loans

4153
04:44:24,240 --> 04:44:25,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: your honor

4154
04:44:25,240 --> 04:44:27,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so pumayag naman ho

4155
04:44:27,240 --> 04:44:29,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: sa mabuting palad

4156
04:44:29,240 --> 04:44:32,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pumayag naman ho ang BSP

4157
04:44:32,240 --> 04:44:36,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so now we are enforcing or

4158
04:44:36,240 --> 04:44:38,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: it's just an option

4159
04:44:38,240 --> 04:44:42,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: there's no compulsion on the part of the teacher to enter into a seven year loan

4160
04:44:42,240 --> 04:44:43,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: it's an option that they

4161
04:44:43,240 --> 04:44:44,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: it's like an item on a menu

4162
04:44:44,240 --> 04:44:46,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: they can order it if they wish

4163
04:44:46,240 --> 04:44:48,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: if they don't wish to enter

4164
04:44:48,240 --> 04:44:50,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to engage in a seven or to

4165
04:44:50,240 --> 04:44:52,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: incur a seven year obligation

4166
04:44:52,240 --> 04:44:55,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: there is no compulsion on them to incur it your honor

4167
04:44:55,240 --> 04:45:00,330
Rep. Roberto Nazal: so if magiging applicable sa kanilang seven years

4168
04:45:00,560 --> 04:45:02,580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: they have to sign an agreement?

4169
04:45:02,700 --> 04:45:03,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor.

4170
04:45:03,300 --> 04:45:05,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's purely voluntary on their part.

4171
04:45:05,800 --> 04:45:05,980
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yes.

4172
04:45:06,980 --> 04:45:09,100
Rep. Roberto Nazal: We are also receiving information

4173
04:45:09,100 --> 04:45:12,320
Rep. Roberto Nazal: that some teachers are paying around 3.5%

4174
04:45:12,320 --> 04:45:13,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: on interest per month

4175
04:45:13,820 --> 04:45:16,260
Rep. Roberto Nazal: or roughly 42% per year

4176
04:45:16,260 --> 04:45:17,720
Rep. Roberto Nazal: if simply annualized.

4177
04:45:18,420 --> 04:45:18,680
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Is that correct?

4178
04:45:19,220 --> 04:45:21,640
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And what is the highest interest rate

4179
04:45:21,640 --> 04:45:25,080
Rep. Roberto Nazal: being charged by an APDS accredited lender?

4180
04:45:25,880 --> 04:45:28,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And does DEPED impose any ceiling

4181
04:45:28,040 --> 04:45:29,440
Rep. Roberto Nazal: on interest or total charges?

4182
04:45:30,000 --> 04:45:30,940
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Do we have a ceiling?

4183
04:45:32,480 --> 04:45:35,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: The ceiling is 9.6% per annum, Your Honor.

4184
04:45:35,420 --> 04:45:37,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So the 3.5% that you said,

4185
04:45:37,360 --> 04:45:39,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: those are not accredited, Your Honor.

4186
04:45:42,060 --> 04:45:46,360
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And no one is complaining to your teachers personally?

4187
04:45:47,860 --> 04:45:49,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: There's a few, Your Honor.

4188
04:45:49,760 --> 04:45:50,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But again, it's their choice.

4189
04:45:51,360 --> 04:45:56,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Sometimes, they even alter their salary documents

4190
04:45:56,340 --> 04:45:58,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to show that they have 5,000 in their balance

4191
04:45:58,860 --> 04:46:00,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so that they can borrow from others.

4192
04:46:00,540 --> 04:46:01,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So if they have 5,000,

4193
04:46:01,600 --> 04:46:03,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we're asking the financial institutions

4194
04:46:03,220 --> 04:46:04,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: why did you borrow from this teacher?

4195
04:46:05,420 --> 04:46:07,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We're showing them an altered document

4196
04:46:07,380 --> 04:46:11,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to show that they still have 5,000.

4197
04:46:12,440 --> 04:46:19,840
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Pero does the BSP allow these institutions

4198
04:46:19,840 --> 04:46:21,100
Rep. Roberto Nazal: to charge higher?

4199
04:46:22,260 --> 04:46:26,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: They're probably not accredited institutions of the BSP.

4200
04:46:26,320 --> 04:46:27,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Mga loan sharks na ho iyan.

4201
04:46:28,320 --> 04:46:30,780
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Pero mayroon na ho kayong mga nahuli na nag-charge ng mas mataas?

4202
04:46:31,600 --> 04:46:32,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Mayroon ho.

4203
04:46:33,780 --> 04:46:35,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We're not the policing authority, Your Honor.

4204
04:46:36,040 --> 04:46:37,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We have no police power in that respect.

4205
04:46:37,060 --> 04:46:38,260
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Or basically, ni-report ninyo po?

4206
04:46:38,640 --> 04:46:40,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pwede ho naming i-report iyon.

4207
04:46:44,620 --> 04:46:46,700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And tinanggal po ng BSP yung license nila?

4208
04:46:48,600 --> 04:46:49,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Baka walang lisensya ho iyan.

4209
04:46:50,180 --> 04:46:51,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Suspetso ko walang lisensya ho iyan.

4210
04:46:52,480 --> 04:46:53,080
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you.

4211
04:46:54,420 --> 04:46:56,680
Rep. Roberto Nazal: I'll go to my next question.

4212
04:46:57,340 --> 04:46:58,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair,

4213
04:46:58,880 --> 04:47:00,240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Sa NBDB,

4214
04:47:01,800 --> 04:47:04,240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: COA says that at year-end 2024,

4215
04:47:05,340 --> 04:47:10,060
Rep. Roberto Nazal: you had 32.4 million in unpaid obligations,

4216
04:47:11,020 --> 04:47:14,560
Rep. Roberto Nazal: 5.26 million already due and demandable,

4217
04:47:14,720 --> 04:47:17,220
Rep. Roberto Nazal: and 27.14 million not yet due,

4218
04:47:18,400 --> 04:47:22,700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: while 27.33 million in cash allocations lapsed.

4219
04:47:23,220 --> 04:47:25,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: We are also receiving reports

4220
04:47:25,620 --> 04:47:27,920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: that translation grants remained unpaid

4221
04:47:27,920 --> 04:47:31,340
Rep. Roberto Nazal: while you have a National Book Trust Fund.

4222
04:47:32,920 --> 04:47:33,780
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So ang tanong ko po,

4223
04:47:33,920 --> 04:47:35,220
Rep. Roberto Nazal: how much does

4224
04:47:35,340 --> 04:47:38,920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: NBDB owe today in all unpaid obligations?

4225
04:47:39,220 --> 04:47:41,220
Rep. Roberto Nazal: How much is the trust fund balance?

4226
04:47:41,820 --> 04:47:42,780
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And how much

4227
04:47:43,260 --> 04:47:45,380
Rep. Roberto Nazal: may available funds?

4228
04:47:45,380 --> 04:47:46,920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Bakit may perang nagla-lapse

4229
04:47:46,920 --> 04:47:48,220
Rep. Roberto Nazal: habang may beneficiaries

4230
04:47:48,540 --> 04:47:50,100
Rep. Roberto Nazal: and payees na naghihintay?

4231
04:47:50,800 --> 04:47:52,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kailan po sila babayaran?

4232
04:47:54,060 --> 04:47:55,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Madam Chair, Your Honor,

4233
04:47:55,300 --> 04:47:58,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: may I ask NBDB to respond to the query?

4234
04:48:01,540 --> 04:48:04,400
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: The chair of NBDB is recognized.

4235
04:48:09,060 --> 04:48:11,360
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: Hello?

4236
04:48:11,360 --> 04:48:14,720
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: Can you hear?

4237
04:48:14,720 --> 04:48:15,500
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: Oh, National Book.

4238
04:48:15,500 --> 04:48:18,880
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: As regards to the translation grants,

4239
04:48:18,880 --> 04:48:20,640
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: those are being paid already

4240
04:48:21,940 --> 04:48:23,540
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: because those are in tranches.

4241
04:48:25,620 --> 04:48:26,540
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Again, sorry.

4242
04:48:26,540 --> 04:48:28,120
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: The translation grants?

4243
04:48:28,120 --> 04:48:29,700
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: Yes. Those are in tranches.

4244
04:48:29,700 --> 04:48:30,860
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: So you pay

4245
04:48:30,860 --> 04:48:33,180
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: it in three tranches

4246
04:48:33,180 --> 04:48:36,380
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: based on the submission.

4247
04:48:36,380 --> 04:48:37,180
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: So it is continuous

4248
04:48:37,900 --> 04:48:41,100
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: throughout the year, and most of them are already paid.

4249
04:48:41,100 --> 04:48:42,420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So all of them are already paid?

4250
04:48:42,420 --> 04:48:42,980
NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade: Yes.

4251
04:48:42,980 --> 04:48:46,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Okay. May I

4252
04:48:46,620 --> 04:48:56,700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: continue to my next question mr chair in 2025 dep ed received 15.771 billion in unprogrammed

4253
04:48:56,700 --> 04:49:05,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: appropriations including 9.894 billion from sagip but 10.387 billion remained unobligated

4254
04:49:05,820 --> 04:49:14,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kung urgent po enough para humingi ng unprogrammed funds, bakit mahigit 10 billion ang hindi po na-obligate?

4255
04:49:14,620 --> 04:49:23,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Obligated na ho iyon because we just bid it out. Nine billion was bid out last week.

4256
04:49:23,640 --> 04:49:28,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Award na, sorry, na-award na.

4257
04:49:28,380 --> 04:49:29,580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So obligated na po lahat?

4258
04:49:29,580 --> 04:49:35,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Opo. Opo. Meron po tayong list of projects na na-obligate for the DCP.

4259
04:49:35,100 --> 04:49:35,660
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yeah.

04:49:35,660 --> 04:49:37,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor.

4274
04:50:53,580 --> 04:51:09,100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: So konti lang po talaga. Oo, konting-kunti lang, kasi ang concern ko lang naman basically doon sa ating GMRC and Values Education Act, kasi nakikita ko may mga reklamo din yung iba nating mga guro doon sa training sa GMRC.

4275
04:51:09,100 --> 04:51:18,540
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: And gusto lang nating malaman kung kamusta na po yung implementasyon ng ating GMRC.

4276
04:51:18,540 --> 04:51:19,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: it's still a work in progress i

4277
04:51:19,980 --> 04:51:21,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: think maybe with your permission

4278
04:51:21,580 --> 04:51:27,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Magda-dial a friend ako, si Usec Oracion, who is in charge of our Learning Systems Strand

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and implementation of GMRC.

4280
04:51:30,660 --> 04:51:42,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Because we're changing it to be more active in the present time, where we see that many

4281
04:51:42,100 --> 04:51:50,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: students come from broken families or OFW families, so it's like the authority figure

4282
04:51:50,240 --> 04:51:51,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in other families.

4283
04:51:51,860 --> 04:51:58,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, with the permission of Cong Yamsuan and the Chair, I would like to ask Usec Oracion

4284
04:51:58,880 --> 04:52:01,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to give details about the implementation of GMRC.

4285
04:52:02,060 --> 04:52:03,280
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: Good afternoon, sir.

4286
04:52:04,360 --> 04:52:09,980
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: We really take the implementation of GMRC very seriously.

4287
04:52:10,840 --> 04:52:15,820
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: We train the teachers in the delivery of the program, and that includes our teachers from

4288
04:52:15,820 --> 04:52:16,880
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: grades 1 to 10.

4289
04:52:16,880 --> 04:52:18,780
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: We have sample lessons.

4290
04:52:18,780 --> 04:52:26,600
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: That we come up with to bring in lessons in GMRC.

4291
04:52:27,520 --> 04:52:31,780
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: And then that also includes lessons for multi-grade classes.

4292
04:52:32,100 --> 04:52:39,780
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: And then we also make sure that apart from being a subject area in itself, values are

4293
04:52:39,780 --> 04:52:48,060
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: integrated in our other subject areas and are brought in our textbooks and teachers'

4294
04:52:48,060 --> 04:52:48,540
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: manual.

4295
04:52:48,780 --> 04:52:49,540
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: So, we have that there.

4296
04:52:49,540 --> 04:52:59,400
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: I will also follow up with Yusek Oracion because last December 2025 you conducted a baseline

4297
04:52:59,400 --> 04:53:05,220
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: survey on your Bureau of Learning Delivery.

4298
04:53:05,220 --> 04:53:10,940
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: There were FGDs, teacher questionnaires, but so far there hasn't been any result.

4299
04:53:10,940 --> 04:53:17,660
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: There hasn't been data that comes out based on that survey, which is I think very essential

4300
04:53:17,660 --> 04:53:18,680
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: to our school system.

4301
04:53:18,680 --> 04:53:24,520
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Kasi importanteng malaman natin kung ano yung mga concerns sa bawat eskwelahan,

4302
04:53:24,520 --> 04:53:30,400
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: whether public or private para ng sa ganun malaman din natin kung nasaan yung sitwasyon

4303
04:53:30,400 --> 04:53:38,380
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: ng mga kumbaga problema doon sa ating mga eskwelahan the results have certainly been

4304
04:53:38,380 --> 04:53:45,560
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: collected and consolidated po and they were used to inform the preparation of our materials

4305
04:53:45,560 --> 04:53:51,560
DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion: maybe what we can do is to share with the public relevant portions of the results

4306
04:53:51,560 --> 04:53:58,420
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: tama po kasi importante rin na malaman natin kung nasaan na yung ating mga kumbaga GMRCs

4307
04:53:58,420 --> 04:54:03,940
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: and values education act program kasi sa mga nangyayari in the past nakikita natin parang

4308
04:54:03,940 --> 04:54:10,740
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: kakasunod-sunod I think ito moral foundation na ng ating bansa yung nakataya dito future of

4309
04:54:10,740 --> 04:54:15,540
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: our nation kung yung mga estudyante nating bata ay nasa ganitong

4310
04:54:15,560 --> 04:54:22,100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: klaseng psyche, kailangan nating i-address at mas lalong patibayin yung implementation ng

4311
04:54:22,100 --> 04:54:29,180
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: GMRC and values education act kasi nawawala na po yung mga minsan yung simple pag-opo at opo sa ating

4312
04:54:29,180 --> 04:54:36,860
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: mga kabataan at ayaw natin masira yung moral fiber the Philippines being known as a very hospitable

4313
04:54:36,860 --> 04:54:45,560
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: kumbaga constituency na nandun yung po at opo lagi so tingin ko kailangan natin patatagin lang yung ating

4314
04:54:45,560 --> 04:54:50,300
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: system sa GMRC and Values Education Act and proper training of teachers.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: With 18 units in behavioral science or psychology would qualify, actually.

4342
04:57:29,760 --> 04:57:33,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung iba teachers na nga ang nag-a-apply, if I?m not mistaken. So unlike the situation of guidance

4343
04:57:33,520 --> 04:57:35,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: counselors where a master?s degree is necessary, hindi na po natin kailangan dito sa pag-hire ng school counselor associates.

4344
04:57:43,040 --> 04:57:46,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Mas gumagalaw po yung hiring natin. It?s a priority of all our regions, Your Honor.

4345
04:57:46,560 --> 04:57:54,560

4346
04:57:54,560 --> 04:57:58,880
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: for adult life pag-graduate ng K to 12?

4349
04:58:03,520 --> 04:58:08,480

4350
04:58:08,480 --> 04:58:18,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: senior high graduates ay parang hilaw pa at parang hindi sanay sa eight-hour work day yung ating mga graduates.

4351
04:58:18,480 --> 04:58:22,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So some of the interventions, alinsunod na rin sa instruction ng ating mahal na Pangulo,

04:59:18,120 --> 04:59:18,440

04:59:18,860 --> 04:59:21,860

4378
04:59:21,860 --> 04:59:23,860

4380
04:59:25,960 --> 04:59:28,100

4381
04:59:28,100 --> 04:59:30,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: this new subject in the

4382
04:59:30,060 --> 04:59:31,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: curriculum called life skills.

4383
04:59:31,360 --> 04:59:33,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So it's not just a purely academic

4384
04:59:33,300 --> 04:59:37,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: subject, but also

4385
04:59:37,220 --> 04:59:38,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: anything that we believe would

4386
04:59:38,700 --> 04:59:40,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: make that person

4387
04:59:40,840 --> 04:59:43,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: a good employee or a good

4388
04:59:43,160 --> 04:59:45,600

04:59:45,600 --> 04:59:46,960

4391
04:59:48,980 --> 04:59:51,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: after. In the sense that we teach

4392
04:59:51,220 --> 04:59:53,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: things like growth mindset, because

4393
04:59:53,040 --> 04:59:54,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ang kalungkutan ho is,

4394
04:59:54,880 --> 04:59:57,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: napakalungkot ho is that a

4395
04:59:57,120 --> 04:59:59,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: survey of our students

4396
04:59:59,120 --> 04:59:59,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: showed

4397
04:59:59,300 --> 04:59:59,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ah,

4398
04:59:59,480 --> 05:00:01,960
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: talagang

4399
05:00:01,960 --> 05:00:08,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: overwhelming majority do not believe that their lives will be bettered by education. So wala po yung growth mindset sa kanila.

4400
05:00:08,880 --> 05:00:11,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So we?re trying to change that because alam naman natin all over the world education is key to a person?s success.

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: kanilang senior high kaysa yung mga college graduates. Kaya ako natanong kasi alam ninyo naman ang sitwasyon sa Pilipinas, napakahirap. Yung iba hindi na nakakapag-kolehiyo. Hanggang senior high lang yung kinakaya.

4409
05:01:23,680 --> 05:01:33,760
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Minsan nga hindi pa; hanggang junior high lang. So gusto ko lang ma-prepare yung mga kababayan natin, lalo na yung nanggagaling sa laylayan ng lipunan,

4432
05:02:58,200 --> 05:02:59,440
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Thank you very much.

4433
05:02:59,440 --> 05:03:00,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you, Cong.

4434
05:03:00,080 --> 05:03:04,260
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Next to ask question is Representative Rufus Rodriguez.

4435
05:03:04,260 --> 05:03:15,860
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Thank you, Chairman Maricar Zamora, my distinguished colleagues, and of course

4436
05:03:15,860 --> 05:03:23,540
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: the department of education officialdom together with attached agencies led by

4437
05:03:23,540 --> 05:03:32,480
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: the exemplary leadership, a shining light in the PBBM Cabinet, no less than former congressman,

4438
05:03:32,480 --> 05:03:34,240
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: former chairman

4439
05:03:34,240 --> 05:03:40,780
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: in the house former senator now secretary of Department of Education

4440
05:03:40,780 --> 05:03:46,900
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Sonny Angara. Good afternoon. My question will be regarding

4441
05:03:46,900 --> 05:03:52,660
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Cagayan de Oro; its population is burgeoning because Cagayan de Oro is the

4442
05:03:52,660 --> 05:03:57,800
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: capital of Region 10 and work is available there. So people from the

4443
05:03:57,800 --> 05:04:04,160
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: region, from Lanao del Norte, from Misamis Occidental, from Misamis Oriental,

4444
05:04:04,160 --> 05:04:08,180
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Camiguin, Bukidnon, they come to Cagayan de Oro to work; and when they

4445
05:04:08,180 --> 05:04:13,940
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: come to Cagayan de Oro, they bring with them their children, and so our shortage of

4446
05:04:13,940 --> 05:04:19,940
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: classrooms is very acute, nasa more than 3,000. So my question is, we thank you for

4447
05:04:19,940 --> 05:04:25,460
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: our allocation for this year my question is when are we going to download because

4448
05:04:25,460 --> 05:04:27,620
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: because we are suffering now. There are

4449
05:04:27,780 --> 05:04:30,660
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: classes which have

4450
05:04:30,680 --> 05:04:33,940
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: an afternoon and a morning class, and

4451
05:04:33,960 --> 05:04:36,400
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: some are already outside the classroom.

4452
05:04:36,420 --> 05:04:39,380
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So maybe not from the Secretary;

4453
05:04:39,400 --> 05:04:43,460
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: this goes to all our colleagues: when is

4454
05:04:43,480 --> 05:04:49,260
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: our DepEd allocation downloaded to DPWH?

4455
05:04:49,380 --> 05:04:51,500
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Thank you. You have downloaded to the

4456
05:04:51,520 --> 05:04:54,500
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: local governments. But DepEd to the

4457
05:04:54,520 --> 05:04:55,640
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: public works.

4458
05:04:57,680 --> 05:04:58,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor.

4459
05:04:58,460 --> 05:04:58,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Downloaded.

4460
05:05:00,700 --> 05:05:03,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We?ve transmitted already to DPWH, Your Honor.

4461
05:05:03,180 --> 05:05:07,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So I think they have commenced the process of procurement for the classrooms, Your Honor.

4462
05:05:08,380 --> 05:05:11,860
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Yeah, but it has not been, they have not yet received.

4463
05:05:13,640 --> 05:05:15,600
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: The second district, Cagayan de Oro City.

4464
05:05:16,840 --> 05:05:17,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's a central office.

4465
05:05:18,540 --> 05:05:21,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's probably with the central office of DPWH, Your Honor.

4466
05:05:21,460 --> 05:05:22,980
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: I will follow up, Mr. Chairman.

4467
05:05:23,060 --> 05:05:24,560
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Thank you for that, Secretary.

4468
05:05:24,940 --> 05:05:25,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Welcome, Your Honor.

4469
05:05:25,540 --> 05:05:41,180
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Now, because of that answer, I am therefore compelled to move for the approval of the budget of the DepEd.

4470
05:05:44,080 --> 05:05:51,960
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And not only that, Madam Chairperson, I have seen the video earlier this morning.

4471
05:05:52,500 --> 05:05:54,400
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: I have just to go to the judiciary.

4472
05:05:54,640 --> 05:05:56,520
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: I am the one in charge in the budget.

4473
05:05:56,660 --> 05:05:57,800
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: That's why we just finished it there.

4474
05:05:57,800 --> 05:06:00,160
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So I saw the report.

4475
05:06:00,800 --> 05:06:02,560
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And then we heard our Secretary.

4476
05:06:03,500 --> 05:06:10,720
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So we can only say that this department has been performing excellently.

4477
05:06:11,180 --> 05:06:13,240
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Together we attach agencies.

4478
05:06:14,580 --> 05:06:23,600
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And because of that, Madam Chair, I therefore would support the augmentation of the budget of the DepEd.

4479
05:06:23,600 --> 05:06:29,820
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: They have asked for 145 billion only.

4480
05:06:32,010 --> 05:06:32,930
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: But to be doable.

4481
05:06:33,250 --> 05:06:35,570
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: I think we should ask Secretary Angara.

4482
05:06:36,410 --> 05:06:38,070
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: We cannot give the $145 billion.

4483
05:06:38,490 --> 05:06:40,250
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: It's doable, but cannot be done.

4484
05:06:41,110 --> 05:06:45,650
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So if we can have a listing of priorities to the tune of about 20 billion.

4485
05:06:46,890 --> 05:06:48,170
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So please submit.

4486
05:06:48,710 --> 05:06:51,010
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Because I was just talking to Chairman Mika.

4487
05:06:51,210 --> 05:06:51,950
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: There will be a meeting.

4488
05:06:52,250 --> 05:06:57,730
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And we are going to receive the priority projects of each department, especially yours.

4489
05:06:57,910 --> 05:06:58,530
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We'll do that, sir.

4490
05:06:58,550 --> 05:06:59,650
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Because of the outstanding performance.

4491
05:06:59,650 --> 05:07:00,430
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you very much, sir.

4492
05:07:00,550 --> 05:07:03,010
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And then, of course, because I see here my good friends.

4493
05:07:03,630 --> 05:07:04,770
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Charisse Tugade there.

4494
05:07:05,790 --> 05:07:07,350

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: The chairman of the [unclear].

4496
05:07:12,970 --> 05:07:26,170
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Now, I would move also, aside from the 20 billion, Madam Chair, we restore the small amount of 1.7 billion for the six agencies.

4497
05:07:27,190 --> 05:07:27,990
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: What are these?

4498
05:07:28,130 --> 05:07:29,670
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Well, National Book Development Board.

4499
05:07:30,050 --> 05:07:31,050
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Charisse Tugade is there.

4500
05:07:31,550 --> 05:07:33,010
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: She made sure that I had a very good

05:07:33,030 --> 05:07:37,050
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Stint at the Frankfurt Fair.

4502
05:07:37,670 --> 05:07:41,270

05:07:43,610 --> 05:07:45,130

05:07:45,390 --> 05:07:46,570

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: National Academy of Sports and Teacher Education Council.

4508
05:07:52,890 --> 05:07:58,610
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Therefore, in the proper time, I will move for the submission of the 20 billion request.

4509
05:07:59,390 --> 05:08:01,710
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Priority projects of the Office of the Secretary.

4510
05:08:01,710 --> 05:08:02,910
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And then, 1.7 billion.

4511
05:08:03,030 --> 05:08:10,910
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So that we can make sure our touch agencies have the tools to continue to serve our people.

4512
05:08:11,470 --> 05:08:15,570
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And so, with that, Madam Chair, I would like to move in the proper time.

4513
05:08:16,750 --> 05:08:16,950
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: See?

4514
05:08:17,170 --> 05:08:18,990
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: The bell has rung because I'm moving already.

4515
05:08:18,990 --> 05:08:26,130
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Because of the outstanding performance of Secretary Angara and the USEC and the ASEC and all.

4516
05:08:26,410 --> 05:08:29,610
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Especially our Regional Director, Ruth Fuentes.

4517
05:08:29,750 --> 05:08:30,050
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Where are you?

05:08:40,210 --> 05:08:42,730
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: The wife of Mayor Busami is Mayor Fuentes.

4523
05:08:43,550 --> 05:08:51,410
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So, therefore, see, we have been working together to make sure that we are able to give to our children what is due them.

4524
05:08:51,810 --> 05:08:59,910
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And with that, Madam Chair, I therefore move that only for the approval, in the proper time, approval of the budget as approved by NEP.

4525
05:08:59,910 --> 05:09:03,010
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: But in addition, augmentation of 20 billion.

05:09:03,030 --> 05:09:13,070
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So that we can support the additional request of our Secretary and the 1.7 billion for all the agencies.

4527
05:09:13,070 --> 05:09:23,290
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And I'm going to inform, Chairman, that from now on, I'm filing a bill that we will not reduce the budget every year of the Department of Education.

4528
05:09:24,070 --> 05:09:24,550
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: No more.

4529
05:09:24,650 --> 05:09:24,950
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: We cannot.

4530
05:09:25,790 --> 05:09:32,670
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: The Constitution provides that the state shall afford, shall always give priority to education.

4531
05:09:33,030 --> 05:09:44,490
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And then, according to Article 14 of the Education, each citizen, the state, shall promote the citizens' right to quality education at all levels.

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Regarding sa ating yung Department of Indigenous Peoples Education, or the IPED,

4669
05:23:27,440 --> 05:23:32,220
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: we recognize that indigenous peoples have the right to an education that is accessible.

4670
05:23:32,980 --> 05:23:34,540
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: And then my question is that...

4671
05:23:35,100 --> 05:23:51,680
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: DepEd, actually investing in this program, but then, ang katanungan ko po, doon sa ating special needs, for the special needs education,

4672
05:23:51,680 --> 05:24:03,560
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: can a DepEd increase the funding for the assessment of children with disabilities and for the procurement of the assistive learning devices and technologies?

4673
05:24:03,560 --> 05:24:04,900
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: How many learners?

4674
05:24:04,900 --> 05:24:09,380
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: How many learners have currently waiting for assessment?

4675
05:24:09,380 --> 05:24:14,680
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: And how many assessed learners still do not have the assistive devices?

4676
05:24:14,680 --> 05:24:16,820
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Sa ngayon po.

4677
05:24:16,820 --> 05:24:22,280
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: For the indigenous peoples education for the IPED, because sa aming distrito po,

4678
05:24:22,280 --> 05:24:30,180
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: parang doon sa SDS po namin is they're going to include as a curriculum sa IPED,

4679
05:24:30,180 --> 05:24:32,900
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: this indigenous peoples education.

4680
05:24:32,900 --> 05:24:37,420
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Can we substantially increase din po, and then

4681
05:24:37,420 --> 05:24:54,000
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: mag-stand alone po siya, kasi included siya doon sa isang program po ninyo, as isang, isa lang po siya na, how do you call this, nakasali siya dito sa, ano ba yan?

4682
05:24:54,860 --> 05:24:55,660
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Anong program?

4683
05:24:57,060 --> 05:24:57,680
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: This one.

4684
05:24:57,980 --> 05:24:59,140
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Inclusive education.

4685
05:24:59,480 --> 05:25:02,460
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: So 983.8 million.

4686
05:25:03,660 --> 05:25:04,780
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Ito po yung budget.

4687
05:25:04,780 --> 05:25:17,460
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: But then, nandito na rin kasi, nandaloob na rin ang special needs, madrasah education, indigenous peoples education, and the multi-grade program.

4688
05:25:18,200 --> 05:25:21,780
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: So, and alternative learning system.

4689
05:25:22,560 --> 05:25:30,540
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Can we increase also budget para dito po, Madam Chair, to our Secretary?

4690
05:25:31,520 --> 05:25:34,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you, Your Honor, Madam Chair.

4691
05:25:34,140 --> 05:25:39,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung IP education or indigenous people's education, meron ng sariling line item ho yan.

4692
05:25:40,040 --> 05:25:42,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ganun din ho yung special needs education.

4693
05:25:43,260 --> 05:25:49,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At nag-request ho kami ng 154 million for IPED, pero ang nag-grant lang ho is 76 million.

4694
05:25:49,820 --> 05:25:54,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's why part of our appeal is the additional 78 million for IP education.

4695
05:25:54,880 --> 05:26:02,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tapos sa SNED naman ho, ang nirequest ho namin is 1.39 billion, at ang nag-grant ho is 849.9 million.

4696
05:26:02,860 --> 05:26:12,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kaya meron tayong pending appeal for 541 million additional budget for this SNED special needs education, Your Honor.

4697
05:26:13,280 --> 05:26:15,120
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Thank you, Madam Chair.

4698
05:26:15,320 --> 05:26:22,500
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Kasi itong special needs, we really need mag-additional sana po tayo ng budget for this program.

4699
05:26:23,040 --> 05:26:31,440
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Kasi ang daming ho nating mga kabataan na they really need this additional funding for this program po.

4700
05:26:31,440 --> 05:26:32,440
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Especially also...

4701
05:26:32,860 --> 05:26:36,320
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: So, mga indigenous po na may special needs.

4702
05:26:37,120 --> 05:26:41,860
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: And then my second question, I would also...

4703
05:26:42,700 --> 05:26:48,200
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Regarding po dun sa katanungan ni Sir, ni Congressman Rufus kanina,

4704
05:26:48,680 --> 05:26:56,680
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: regarding the allocation, yung bidding for the school buildings for 2026,

4705
05:26:57,200 --> 05:27:02,680
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: tapos may mga FLR din for the 2025 na hindi na rin...

4706
05:27:02,860 --> 05:27:04,420
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Lumabas under 2026.

4707
05:27:05,100 --> 05:27:14,420
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: And then ngayon sa 2027 proposed NEP, wala din yung mga school buildings na yung mga na-wash out during the typhoon.

4708
05:27:15,440 --> 05:27:21,840
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: And then may katanungan din po ako, the computation approximately 2.5 million per school building po ba?

4709
05:27:22,740 --> 05:27:28,140
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Sa isang building, even in the mountainous area.

4710
05:27:28,140 --> 05:27:32,140
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Kasi may mga areas na malalayo yung mga...

4711
05:27:32,860 --> 05:27:36,980
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Lugar na walang road, walang access to roads.

4712
05:27:37,160 --> 05:27:40,480
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: And then meron din mga GEDA areas.

4713
05:27:41,280 --> 05:27:43,920
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Hindi naman sila kasali din sa last mile.

4714
05:27:44,480 --> 05:27:46,240
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Though it's a regular fund.

4715
05:27:47,440 --> 05:27:56,960
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: May possibility ho ba, Madam Chair, na yung costing mechanism for the school buildings located sa mga GEDA areas,

4716
05:27:56,960 --> 05:28:02,840
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: lalo na yung mga wala pang roads going to that school.

4717
05:28:02,860 --> 05:28:04,080
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Na gagawin.

4718
05:28:04,620 --> 05:28:12,800
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Because yung costing po nila, mag-a-add pa ng manual hauling, multiple handling.

4719
05:28:13,740 --> 05:28:15,300
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Ganun po, Madam Chair.

4720
05:28:15,820 --> 05:28:22,320
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: So, ang katanungan ko po, Madam Chair, kung kay sa ating DepEd family,

4721
05:28:23,020 --> 05:28:28,160
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: meron ho ba talaga bang uniform the whole Philippines, even you are in the island,

4722
05:28:28,160 --> 05:28:30,980
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: nasa mountainous area, panawalang daan.

4723
05:28:31,740 --> 05:28:32,840
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Same ho ba?

4724
05:28:32,860 --> 05:28:35,860
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Madam Chair, na 2.5 per classroom.

4725
05:28:36,020 --> 05:28:36,440
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Madam Chair.

4726
05:28:36,640 --> 05:28:37,020
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Thank you.

4727
05:28:38,000 --> 05:28:39,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yeah, there's a range.

4728
05:28:39,840 --> 05:28:42,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think now it's 3 to 3.5 million.

4729
05:28:42,780 --> 05:28:45,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: This was a figure agreed upon with DPWH.

4730
05:28:45,840 --> 05:28:48,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pero meron talagang mga lugar na malalayo.

4731
05:28:49,060 --> 05:28:50,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yung freight, maaring iba.

4732
05:28:50,960 --> 05:28:53,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tapos yung iba, baka iba rin yung fundasyon.

4733
05:28:54,100 --> 05:28:55,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, mas nagmamahal yun.

4734
05:28:55,620 --> 05:29:01,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And yung binanggit niyo po, Cong Agyao, about the last mile school.

4735
05:29:01,620 --> 05:29:02,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pag-GEDA school.

4736
05:29:02,860 --> 05:29:03,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Na walang kalsada.

4737
05:29:03,660 --> 05:29:05,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Considered last mile school na rin ho siya.

4738
05:29:05,660 --> 05:29:11,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, mabibigyan priority siya doon under the LMS program of DepEd, Your Honor.

4739
05:29:13,620 --> 05:29:15,120
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Thank you, Sec.

4740
05:29:15,940 --> 05:29:21,620
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Madam Chair, sana po may include po doon sa Kalinga kasi lalo na sa mga Cordillera areas,

4741
05:29:21,620 --> 05:29:25,780
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: mga provinces, ang dami po naming lugar na hindi po talaga accessible.

4742
05:29:25,780 --> 05:29:31,860
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: But then, still, nandun po rin sila sa 2.5 million na regular fundasyon.

4743
05:29:32,620 --> 05:29:33,620
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Funding po.

4744
05:29:33,620 --> 05:29:34,620
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Madam Chair.

4745
05:29:34,620 --> 05:29:39,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor, we'll definitely consider.

4746
05:29:39,220 --> 05:29:45,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And, alam natin, 2.5 maka hindi na po sapat ngayon sa kasalukuyan, Your Honor.

4747
05:29:45,180 --> 05:29:48,240
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Thank you, Madam Chair, and salamat sa ASEC.

4748
05:29:48,240 --> 05:29:49,240
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Salamat po.

4749
05:29:49,240 --> 05:29:51,640
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao: Thank you, thank you to the DepEd family.

4750
05:29:51,640 --> 05:29:53,420
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Thank you very much.

4751
05:29:53,420 --> 05:29:56,020
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Next to ask a question is Representative Shirlyn Ba?as-Nograles.

4752
05:29:59,770 --> 05:30:03,600
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: Magandang hapon po, Sec, and thank you, Madam Chair.

4753
05:30:04,300 --> 05:30:07,020
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: Sec, may I just have two concerns po.

4754
05:30:07,920 --> 05:30:17,460
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: First is still on the implementation of Republic Act 12080, or the Basic Education Mental Health Act, Sec.

4755
05:30:17,880 --> 05:30:25,980
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: Because of the prevalence of mental health issues that happened among our schools, public schools,

4756
05:30:25,980 --> 05:30:36,800
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: in fact, ngayon, we feel that many of our schools, hindi na po siya a safe learning space for our pupils and students.

4757
05:30:37,360 --> 05:30:44,460
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: Just this morning, there was a stabbing incident in one of our public schools in General Santos City,

4758
05:30:45,080 --> 05:30:47,440
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: among our 15-year-old high school students.

4759
05:30:48,000 --> 05:30:52,200
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: So, SEC, isang nakita natin,

4760
05:30:53,640 --> 05:30:55,900
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: yung pagtatala ng ating,

4761
05:30:55,980 --> 05:30:58,400
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: guidance counsellors, diba?

4762
05:30:58,580 --> 05:31:02,820
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: And it seems that there is a critical manpower shortage.

4763
05:31:04,360 --> 05:31:09,380
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: We have 45,000, if my data is correct, we have 45,000 public schools.

4764
05:31:10,080 --> 05:31:16,480
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: And we have less than, more or less, 1,000 licensed guidance counsellors.

4765
05:31:16,480 --> 05:31:19,840
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: So, talagang napakalaki po ng disparity.

4766
05:31:20,700 --> 05:31:24,640
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: And I understand na to address this,

4767
05:31:24,800 --> 05:31:25,960
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: meron tayong mga associates,

4768
05:31:25,980 --> 05:31:28,720
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: Tama po ba, SEC?

4769
05:31:29,240 --> 05:31:32,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tama po, Congresswoman, yung GCA and SCA, yung associates.

4770
05:31:32,980 --> 05:31:35,900
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: Yes, unless somehow this will be addressed,

4771
05:31:36,420 --> 05:31:38,720
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: andyan yung fear among parents, no?

4772
05:31:40,500 --> 05:31:47,260
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: SEC, meron bang, nasa ano ba ng DepEd to come up with a more proactive approach?

4773
05:31:47,960 --> 05:31:54,620
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: Just like to create a venue for our teachers for continuing learning education.

4774
05:31:54,620 --> 05:31:55,620
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: Yun ba?

4775
05:31:55,980 --> 05:32:15,560
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: Ibang possible collaboration, a program of DepEd, a possible collaboration with our public schools such as University of the Philippines to come up with a customized courses for our, like, associate counsellors natin, for them for further schooling and provide scholarship.

4776
05:32:15,560 --> 05:32:24,700
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: So, in this way, SEC, ma-address ito, kasi kung wala tayong gagawin, antayin lang natin kung ke sino mag-a-apply o sino yung mag-aaral,

4777
05:32:24,700 --> 05:32:26,980
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: talagang layo-layo ng gap.

4778
05:32:26,980 --> 05:32:31,960
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: So, I think we need to come up with a more proactive approach dito.

4779
05:32:31,960 --> 05:32:36,600
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: So, kasi itong mga ating associate, they are already experienced in the field.

4780
05:32:36,600 --> 05:32:42,280
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: If we can provide scholarship, customized courses in collaboration,

4781
05:32:42,280 --> 05:32:45,960
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: for instance, University of the Philippines and other public schools,

4782
05:32:45,960 --> 05:32:52,240
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: para makapag-aral ang ating mga teachers, and then tailored suits sa kanilang schedule.

4783
05:32:52,240 --> 05:32:54,540
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: So, in that way, they can

4784
05:32:54,700 --> 05:33:02,710
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: advance their career and at the same time DepEd could assist them, Sec.

4785
05:33:22,570 --> 05:33:27,690
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pasensya na po. I was trying to listen with the left and the right ear, yeah, but I heard the question.

4786
05:33:27,690 --> 05:33:34,570
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: about the proactive approach of uh definitely it's something we we aim to do uh and uh we're working

4787
05:33:34,570 --> 05:33:41,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: with uh some psychologists from ateneo to develop or to revamp the uh curriculum and uh we're

4788
05:33:41,210 --> 05:33:54,170
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: placing a big emphasis on yung tinatawag na socio-emotional learning. Ang presumption dito, hindi talaga matututo ang bata kapag wala siya sa tamang lugar o hindi siya

4789
05:33:54,170 --> 05:33:59,450
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: he does not feel welcome he or she does not feel welcome in the school or part of the school

4790
05:33:59,450 --> 05:34:05,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: environment or community so you know starting point is a social emotional approach to learning

4791
05:34:05,370 --> 05:34:09,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so that's how we're trying to approach it but of course uh

4792
05:34:11,210 --> 05:34:19,770
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so please give us some time to to do it but we are we are one with you in uh in your philosophy

4793
05:34:19,770 --> 05:34:26,250
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: your honor yes like for instance we have how many thousands of associate counselors

4794
05:34:27,930 --> 05:34:33,690
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: if we can provide scholarship in collaboration with existing public schools or universities

4795
05:34:33,690 --> 05:34:39,370
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: a customized course course or training for them then they can be eventually become licensed

4796
05:34:41,210 --> 05:34:45,290
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: and then you can hire another associate so in that way

4797
05:34:48,490 --> 05:34:49,690
Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: rather than just waiting

4798
05:34:51,690 --> 05:34:57,690
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: actually we're we're already working with jed on that your honor the presidential merit scholarship

4842
05:39:21,930 --> 05:39:28,990
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Yung issue ko, Sec, is that I think I brought it up last year

4843
05:39:28,990 --> 05:39:37,990
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: regarding sa 2023 na school building project na kulang ang pondo, na di nagamit ng schools

4844
05:39:37,990 --> 05:39:45,610
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: dahil may problema sa pondo, kulang pa ng konti.

4845
05:39:45,610 --> 05:39:54,470
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Fifteen school buildings ito, around forty classrooms, medyo hindi napunduhan

4848
05:40:07,970 --> 05:40:14,230
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: new construction. I hope this completion of building, kasi sayang din, it has been there for two

4849
05:40:14,230 --> 05:40:18,090
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: years, kulang na lang ng konti at hindi pa rin napunduhan.

4850
05:40:19,070 --> 05:40:22,150
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: So ano ba ang pwedeng gawin natin, Sec?

4851
05:40:27,080 --> 05:40:32,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, we have a fund for completion of school buildings for 2026, Your Honor, so I'm just

4852
05:40:32,160 --> 05:40:34,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: inquiring kung nasubmit na namin sa DPWH.

4853
05:40:35,300 --> 05:40:42,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Kung hindi, isasama ho namin yung mga listahan ninyo, whatever can be accommodated, Your

4856
05:40:45,690 --> 05:40:48,930
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Yun din ang ano ko na at least magamit din natin.

4857
05:40:49,030 --> 05:40:52,490
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Sayang din ang investment ng government kung nakatingga lang.

4858
05:40:52,790 --> 05:40:58,830
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: At yung kulang, maliliit na lang, yung mga painting and other furniture.

4859
05:40:59,530 --> 05:41:03,410
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: So hopefully, mapunduhan, Sec.

4860
05:41:04,190 --> 05:41:12,890
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: And the other one, po, yung naiwan pa sa UDET na repair and rehab.

4861
05:41:12,890 --> 05:41:13,510
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: And I hope.

4862
05:41:13,890 --> 05:41:21,850
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: So mabigyang pansin din kasi nakatent pa rin yung ibang classroom natin and hopefully

05:41:21,850 --> 05:41:25,850
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: magamit na rin ng schools.

4864

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: So marami pa.

4865
05:41:27,830 --> 05:41:33,590
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Tapos nadaanan na rin kami ng Typhoon Tino, so doble-doble na pong bagyo na dumating

4866
05:41:33,590 --> 05:41:36,410
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: sa probinsya namin, sa distriko.

4872
05:41:56,120 --> 05:42:00,080
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Alam ko yung sitwasyon kasi galing ako sa public school.

4873
05:42:00,080 --> 05:42:05,180
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: Kailangan nila ang suporta natin.

4874
05:42:05,180 --> 05:42:10,720
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: And I am for the approval and if possible, i-increase natin ang budget ng DPED.

4879
05:42:19,240 --> 05:42:20,240
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Thank you.

4880
05:42:20,240 --> 05:42:26,240
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Next to us, question is Rep. Maria Nina Lacson.

05:42:26,240 --> 05:42:33,240
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: Thank you, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, dear colleagues, and DPED family.

4882
05:42:33,240 --> 05:42:34,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Afternoon, ma'am.

4883
05:42:34,240 --> 05:42:35,240
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: Afternoon.

4884
05:42:35,240 --> 05:42:37,240
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: Let's talk AI.

4885
05:42:37,240 --> 05:42:44,120
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: So, from my understanding, DPEDPo is in the process of implementing and adopting AI, and

4886
05:42:44,120 --> 05:42:45,120
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: I fully support this.

4887
05:42:45,120 --> 05:42:46,120
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: And po, this is a great idea.

4888
05:42:48,700 --> 05:42:51,760
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: Just a couple of questions to clarify.

4889
05:42:51,760 --> 05:42:54,720
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: Anong klaseng AI po are we talking about?

4890
05:42:54,720 --> 05:42:58,400
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: Because there are many different types. We have predictive analysis, deepfake,

4891
05:42:59,400 --> 05:43:03,180
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: up to like national language processing.

4892
05:43:03,180 --> 05:43:09,020
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: What specific use cases po are we going to focus on to help our teachers?

4893
05:43:09,020 --> 05:43:17,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I am not very much of a techie, Your Honor, Congresswoman Lacson. Can I turn it over to our USEC for IT, with permission of the Committee Chair

4894
05:43:17,920 --> 05:43:18,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and the Members?

4895
05:43:18,920 --> 05:43:20,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ASEC Mars Veloso.

4896
05:43:21,620 --> 05:43:24,420
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Yes, you are recognized, Your Honor.

4897
05:43:24,420 --> 05:43:25,780
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: Hello, hello.

4898
05:43:25,780 --> 05:43:31,480
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: Madam Chair, Your Honor, Cong Nina, the things that DepEd is doing

4899
05:43:31,480 --> 05:43:33,040
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: right now is multifaceted.

4900
05:43:33,040 --> 05:43:35,100
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: AI is being used within teachers.

4901
05:43:35,100 --> 05:43:37,600
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: in the office to determine certain patterns.

4902
05:43:37,600 --> 05:43:41,300
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: So eCare recently launched a project like this,

4903
05:43:41,300 --> 05:43:43,080
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: which is a hazard mapping tool.

4904
05:43:43,080 --> 05:43:45,000
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: But with respect to teachers themselves,

4905
05:43:45,000 --> 05:43:49,540
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: what we're presently doing is enabling them various tools,

4906
05:43:49,540 --> 05:43:52,600
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: Google, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot,

4907
05:43:52,600 --> 05:43:55,240
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: and we're teaching them how to use these tools.

4908
05:43:55,240 --> 05:43:57,880
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: And in relation to learners themselves,

4909
05:43:57,880 --> 05:44:00,280
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: one of the tools that we've been exploring

4910
05:44:00,280 --> 05:44:02,440
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: is something called reading progress,

4911
05:44:02,440 --> 05:44:07,040
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: where previously teachers would do this manually,

4912
05:44:07,040 --> 05:44:09,760
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: but now they speak to, students can speak to an app

4913
05:44:09,760 --> 05:44:12,080
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: and words are actually measured,

4914
05:44:12,080 --> 05:44:14,880
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: and when words are omitted, it gets tracked.

4915
05:44:14,880 --> 05:44:17,400
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: So these, from teaching and learning

4916
05:44:17,400 --> 05:44:19,880
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: to observing administrative tasks,

4917
05:44:19,880 --> 05:44:23,800
DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: we're able to leverage AI to do many other things.

4918
05:44:25,020 --> 05:44:26,060
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: Thank you, Madam Chair.

4919
05:44:26,060 --> 05:44:29,980
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: So it sounds like this adaptation of AI tools

4920
05:44:29,980 --> 05:44:32,220
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: will help the over,

4921
05:44:32,220 --> 05:44:34,360
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: under load the work of the teachers,

4922
05:44:34,360 --> 05:44:36,200
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: especially the administrative tasks.

4923
05:44:36,200 --> 05:44:38,000
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: And that is really great to hear.

4924
05:44:38,000 --> 05:44:42,280
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: Nung nag-visit po ako, nung nag-ikot po ako at nakausap ang mga teachers

4925
05:44:42,280 --> 05:44:47,060
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: from all over, you know, Bicol, La Union, even in Malabon,

4926
05:44:48,300 --> 05:44:50,800
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: the overall sentiment is very positive.

4927
05:44:50,800 --> 05:44:52,720
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: Gusto po nila yung AI.

4928
05:44:52,720 --> 05:44:56,020
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: Ang concern lang po is how would the training be?

4929
05:44:56,020 --> 05:44:58,680
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: Kasi maganda po, you have the tools,

4930
05:44:58,680 --> 05:45:06,760
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: but what is the purpose of the tools kung hindi po natin alam kung paano gamitin? So what is DepEd?s plan po regarding training?

4931
05:45:06,760 --> 05:45:09,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, we have trained, I think, over a million

4932
05:45:09,440 --> 05:45:18,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: million over a million uh faculty and uh students with the help of uh the united nations uh grant

4933
05:45:18,080 --> 05:45:26,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and uh google also so we want to keep it going and as you rightly mentioned uh your honor uh

4934
05:45:26,320 --> 05:45:31,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: one important aspect is uh uh allowing the dream of personalized learning so

4935
05:45:31,760 --> 05:45:39,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: uh people can proceed at their own speed no so uh one uh thing we're pursuing is is our

4936
05:45:39,760 --> 05:45:45,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: link up with the academy so they provided they very kindly provided uh canmigo which is their

4937
05:45:45,840 --> 05:45:52,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ai for teachers which normally is uh is a paid app but for that it's they're providing it for free

4938
05:45:52,160 --> 05:45:54,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because the first franchisee in the world is a filipina

4939
05:45:56,320 --> 05:46:03,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of khan academy uh was also the first filipino to chair how to sit on the board of harvard so

4940
05:46:03,680 --> 05:46:09,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: she provided that to the pet uh our challenge is to scale up because to use these tools you need

4941
05:46:09,600 --> 05:46:16,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: very strong bandwidth or large bandwidth so we're aspiring for 100 mbps minimum in many of our

4942
05:46:16,720 --> 05:46:24,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: schools and we're struggling to keep up uh to get this speed because many of our schools are uh

4943
05:46:26,320 --> 05:46:32,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in areas where it is difficult to to get that speed and of course it costs money also so we're

4944
05:46:32,640 --> 05:46:40,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: trying to uh equip our schools and uh the goal is to be in at least 10 to 12 000 schools by the end

4945
05:46:40,640 --> 05:46:48,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of uh of next year so i think we're now in about 3 000 schools so but there's also a challenge

4946
05:46:48,400 --> 05:46:55,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because there's still a uh there's still some fear of technology on the part of some of our teachers

4947
05:46:56,480 --> 05:47:03,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: they're used to being akin to like oracles where everything goes through them and they many fear

4948
05:47:03,520 --> 05:47:08,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the loss of control that comes with the use of such technology so but we're trying to tell them

4949
05:47:08,880 --> 05:47:15,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: that really it's it's there to make their life easier to you know do the analytics uh to do the

4950
05:47:15,520 --> 05:47:23,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: lesson plans to do the quizzes and checking in a matter of seconds or minutes uh actually so uh

4951
05:47:24,800 --> 05:47:25,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: i think i think uh

4952
05:47:26,480 --> 05:47:32,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we can we can that's a very positive direction for for us and uh as you said there's so many

4953
05:47:32,880 --> 05:47:39,520
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: possible uses but i think it all begins with the teacher and uh if we can really uh train our

4954
05:47:39,520 --> 05:47:44,640
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: teachers well then that that multiplicative effect is really going to be felt all over the country

4955
05:47:45,440 --> 05:47:54,560
Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson: thank you mr secretary madam chair just a couple more follow-up questions um that's current budget

4961

4962
05:48:17,760 --> 05:48:25,600

4963
05:48:26,320 --> 05:48:33,280
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of the bed for research uh this center was originally supposed to be in dti but uh for one

4964
05:48:33,280 --> 05:48:40,560
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: reason or another uh it was discontinued in dti so we saw the opportunity to get to hire some of the

4965
05:48:40,560 --> 05:48:48,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: best data scientists in the country to help to let to allow them to help their bed uh and then we we

4966
05:48:49,040 --> 05:48:54,480

4968
05:48:56,320 --> 05:49:02,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the work of DepEd, not only for the teachers, but also for the central office,

4969

5000
05:51:41,630 --> 05:51:49,510
Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton: My query, Mr. Chair, the same issues in relation to bullying, because it remains a serious

5001
05:51:49,510 --> 05:51:50,970
Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton: concern in all schools.

5002
05:51:50,970 --> 05:51:58,670
Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton: Including my districts, while many schools still do not have enough guidance and counseling

5003
05:51:58,670 --> 05:51:59,530
Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton: personnel.

5004
05:52:00,350 --> 05:52:07,170
Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton: And in the presentation a while ago, we saw that there was a proposal for additional school

5005
05:52:07,170 --> 05:52:16,690

5006
05:52:16,690 --> 05:52:20,690
Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton: Now my query, Mr. Secretary, may we know how...

5007
05:52:20,970 --> 05:52:28,090
Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton: How these positions will be distributed, and particularly in Region 2, and of course

5008
05:52:28,090 --> 05:52:35,490
Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton: in my district, and whether schools with higher bullying incidents, large enrollment, or there

5009
05:52:35,490 --> 05:52:39,170
Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton: is no existing counselor will be prioritized?

5015
05:52:50,810 --> 05:52:50,950
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: may hindi tayo napuntahang barangay,

5016
05:52:50,970 --> 05:52:58,590
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: medyo magtatampo si kapitan sa atin at yung mga constituents natin doon.

5017
05:52:58,590 --> 05:53:06,690
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Regarding the question on the school counselor associates, we prioritize areas with high

5018
05:53:06,690 --> 05:53:07,730
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: incidence of bullying.

5019
05:53:09,050 --> 05:53:14,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, and we noticed a lot of these are in urban areas, a lot are in the large schools, although

5020
05:53:14,370 --> 05:53:16,690
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: not exclusive to these types of schools.

5021
05:53:17,350 --> 05:53:20,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But, and also those which are implemented.

5022
05:53:20,970 --> 05:53:25,490
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We are implementing the senior high school curriculum because the students there are

5023
05:53:25,490 --> 05:53:26,470
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of a certain age.

5024
05:53:26,470 --> 05:53:30,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So iyon po yung ating tinututukan. Inuna natin,

5025
05:53:30,010 --> 05:53:36,150
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We tried to start first, but by no means are we limiting ourselves to these schools, Your

5049
05:54:54,460 --> 05:55:02,080
Rep. Girlie E. Veloso: sundan yung sinabi kanina earlier ni Congressman Yamsuan with regards to the

5050
05:55:02,080 --> 05:55:10,780
Rep. Girlie E. Veloso: importance of GMRC and values education. Naniniwala ako na ang disiplina at

05:55:10,780 --> 05:55:17,940
Rep. Girlie E. Veloso: mabuting asal ay nagsisimula sa tahanan. Ngunit malaking bahagi rin ng araw ng

5058
05:55:54,940 --> 05:56:03,500

05:56:39,500 --> 05:56:45,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: binabago na ho namin yung curriculum para mas ma-emphasize ho yung mga values, as you

5066
05:56:45,200 --> 05:56:47,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: mentioned, Your Honor, Madam Chair. Tapos yung

5067
05:56:47,940 --> 05:56:52,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ongoing development ng mga lesson plans sa mga multigrade classes. So

5068
05:56:52,100 --> 05:56:55,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: kahit sila ay sama-sama, minsan may ganoon, grade

5069
05:56:55,700 --> 05:57:00,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 1, grade 2 magkasama sa isang class, mas natuturuan pa rin yung values, mas

5070
05:57:00,100 --> 05:57:03,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: nangingibabaw pa rin yung values, Your Honor.

5071
05:57:03,860 --> 05:57:09,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tapos itong ongoing development po ng

5072
05:57:09,220 --> 05:57:12,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: what's LAS?

5073
05:57:13,300 --> 05:57:17,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Meron tayong mga learning activity sheets under the dynamic learning program. This is an

5074
05:57:17,860 --> 05:57:22,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: awarded teaching method sa Bohol

5075
05:57:22,740 --> 05:57:26,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: which Dr. Bernido won a Magsaysay Award for,

5076
05:57:26,900 --> 05:57:33,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and it places an emphasis on independent learning and using the

5077
05:57:33,060 --> 05:57:36,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: students' penmanship to learn. So meron tayong modules na ngayon

5078
05:57:36,660 --> 05:57:40,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: for dynamic learning na pioneered sa Bohol,

5079
05:57:40,900 --> 05:57:44,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: but it's also being used in other provinces like Sarangani

5080
05:57:44,420 --> 05:57:46,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and even private schools use it, Your Honor.

5081
05:57:47,860 --> 05:57:49,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Anong [unclear]? What's that?

5082
05:57:49,400 --> 05:57:59,190
Rep. Girlie E. Veloso: Ito po bang pag-strengthen ng ating GMRC and Values Education, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary,

5083
05:57:59,190 --> 05:58:02,790
Rep. Girlie E. Veloso: ongoing implementation ba ito or

5084
05:58:02,790 --> 05:58:06,630
Rep. Girlie E. Veloso: are we going to strengthen that in the next school year?

5085
05:58:06,630 --> 05:58:10,790
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ongoing na po yung iba pero siyempre there's a challenge to

5086
05:58:10,790 --> 05:58:17,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: as in everything in DepEd, we...

5087
05:58:19,940 --> 05:58:20,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Depende rin ho sa husay nung ating mga

5088
05:58:21,860 --> 05:58:25,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: teachers at kung nai-train ho sila, because sa dami ho ng teacher natin hindi natin ma-train sabay-sabay ho

5089
05:58:25,860 --> 05:58:27,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: lahat. So finiface ho natin yan.

5090
05:58:27,860 --> 05:58:31,860
Rep. Girlie E. Veloso: Thank you, Mr. Secretary, Madam Chair.

5091
05:58:31,860 --> 05:58:33,860
Rep. Girlie E. Veloso: I have no further question, Madam Chair.

5092
05:58:33,860 --> 05:58:41,860
Rep. Girlie E. Veloso: I would just like to manifest my full support for the proposal budget of the Department of Education.

5093
05:58:41,860 --> 05:58:43,860
Rep. Girlie E. Veloso: Daghang salamat, ug maayong hapon sa tanan.

5094
05:58:43,860 --> 05:58:47,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Daghang salamat, Congresswoman Veloso. Salamat po naman namin.

5095
05:58:47,860 --> 05:58:49,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Thank you.

5096
05:58:49,860 --> 05:58:51,860
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Next question is our representative,

5097
05:58:51,860 --> 05:58:56,680
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Jan Chan. Saan siya?

5098
05:58:56,680 --> 05:58:58,680
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Good afternoon po, Mr. Chair,

5099
05:58:58,680 --> 05:59:00,680
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: and good afternoon, Mr. Secretary.

5100
05:59:00,680 --> 05:59:02,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Good afternoon, Your Honor.

5101
05:59:02,680 --> 05:59:08,680
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So yun po, I come to this committee hearing as an advocate and supporter of the Department's budget,

5102
05:59:08,680 --> 05:59:10,680
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: but also a critic of some of the numbers po.

5103
05:59:10,680 --> 05:59:16,680
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, I believe that the Department of Education should really be supported,

5104
05:59:16,680 --> 05:59:22,680
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: especially because of the constitutionally mandated prioritization of education in the Philippines.

5105
05:59:22,680 --> 05:59:24,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you. Thank you.

5106
05:59:24,680 --> 05:59:28,680
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, I just have, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair, two sets of questions.

5107
05:59:28,680 --> 05:59:32,680
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So my first set of questions goes into the classrooms po.

5108
05:59:32,680 --> 05:59:40,680
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, Mr. Secretary, the 2025 target was 6,000 classrooms constructed,

5109
05:59:40,680 --> 05:59:46,680
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: and the reported actual is 99, with 5,887 marked ongoing.

5110
05:59:46,680 --> 05:59:52,680
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: But at the same time, the Department has reported a classroom shortage of around 165,000 nationwide.

5111
05:59:52,680 --> 05:59:59,680
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So for 2027, the target indicated is only 700

5112
05:59:59,680 --> 06:00:02,240
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: classrooms. Meanwhile,

5113
06:00:02,480 --> 06:00:04,180
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: the basic education facilities fund

5114
06:00:04,180 --> 06:00:05,720
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: goes from around

5115
06:00:05,720 --> 06:00:07,460
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: 85.4 billion pesos

5116
06:00:07,460 --> 06:00:09,960
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: down to 30.6 billion

5117
06:00:09,960 --> 06:00:11,980
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: pesos proposed for 2027.

5118
06:00:12,700 --> 06:00:12,980
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So,

5119
06:00:13,700 --> 06:00:15,840
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: my question is simple. What happened

5120
06:00:15,840 --> 06:00:17,900
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: between the appropriation and the actual

5121
06:00:17,900 --> 06:00:20,040
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: classroom? Was there a bottleneck

5122
06:00:20,040 --> 06:00:20,460
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: between

5123
06:00:20,460 --> 06:00:24,020
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: in the procurement, land availability,

5124
06:00:24,520 --> 06:00:25,980
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: contractor performance releases,

5125
06:00:25,980 --> 06:00:27,360
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: or the implementing arrangement po?

5126
06:00:28,540 --> 06:00:29,800
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: For this year,

5127
06:00:30,000 --> 06:00:31,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: For this year or for 2025 ho?

5128
06:00:32,220 --> 06:00:33,900
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: For the following year po.

5129
06:00:34,540 --> 06:00:35,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: For next year ho?

5130
06:00:35,620 --> 06:00:37,900
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Yes po, for the proposal for 2027.

5131
06:00:38,460 --> 06:00:39,980
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: With the target being 700

5132
06:00:39,980 --> 06:00:40,770
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: classrooms po.

5133
06:00:40,770 --> 06:00:42,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ah, yung 700 is the completion ho.

5134
06:00:42,480 --> 06:00:44,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Those are the ones that are uncompleted

5135
06:00:44,120 --> 06:00:46,080
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to be completed. But I think the target

5136
06:00:46,080 --> 06:00:47,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: is much larger than 700.

5137
06:00:48,120 --> 06:00:50,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's about at least 4,000 to 5,000

5138
06:00:50,460 --> 06:00:51,430
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: classrooms, Your Honor.

5139
06:00:51,430 --> 06:00:52,520
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: 4,000 to 5,000?

5140
06:00:52,700 --> 06:00:54,340
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Yes. Out of how many,

5141
06:00:54,340 --> 06:00:55,340
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Mr. Secretary?

5142
06:00:56,020 --> 06:00:58,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I'll just get the exact figure because the cost changes.

5143
06:00:58,860 --> 06:00:59,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ...

5144
06:01:00,000 --> 06:01:02,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's based on the DBM at 2.5.

5145
06:01:02,820 --> 06:01:03,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yeah. If we use it on...

5146
06:01:03,920 --> 06:01:05,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Because the costing changes.

5147
06:01:05,960 --> 06:01:07,800
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Unfortunately, when the time when DBM

5148
06:01:07,800 --> 06:01:09,840
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: was crafting the NEP,

5149
06:01:10,380 --> 06:01:12,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the parameters have changed since then.

5150
06:01:12,220 --> 06:01:14,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, if you use a 2.5 million estimate

5151
06:01:14,180 --> 06:01:16,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: per classroom, we're talking about over

5152
06:01:16,020 --> 06:01:18,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 6,000 classrooms. But I think, as mentioned

5153
06:01:18,180 --> 06:01:20,360
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: earlier during earlier interpellations,

5154
06:01:20,720 --> 06:01:22,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the cost now ranges from 3 to

5155
06:01:22,120 --> 06:01:24,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 3.5, Your Honor. So, that would

5156
06:01:24,160 --> 06:01:26,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: probably be about 5,000 plus

5157
06:01:26,040 --> 06:01:26,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: classrooms, Your Honor.

5158
06:01:27,220 --> 06:01:27,920
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Yes, Mr. Secretary.

5159
06:01:27,920 --> 06:01:29,900
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, Mr. Secretary,

5160
06:01:30,000 --> 06:01:31,180
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: based on your

5161
06:01:31,180 --> 06:01:34,020
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: proposal, would it be enough to fund

5162
06:01:34,020 --> 06:01:34,940
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: the 6,000

5163
06:01:34,940 --> 06:01:36,440
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: classrooms?

5164
06:01:38,440 --> 06:01:39,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Baka hindi na po 6,000.

5165
06:01:39,860 --> 06:01:42,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: about 4,900

5166
06:01:42,320 --> 06:01:44,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: on the optimistic side,

5167
06:01:44,280 --> 06:01:44,890
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

5168
06:01:44,890 --> 06:01:45,760
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Okay po, Mr. Secretary.

5169
06:01:46,100 --> 06:01:47,060
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, for that,

5170
06:01:48,000 --> 06:01:49,520
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: how long would be the

5171
06:01:49,520 --> 06:01:51,940
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: timeline of the department

5172
06:01:51,940 --> 06:01:53,600
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: for the completion of those 6,000?

5173
06:01:54,180 --> 06:01:56,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, I think

5174
06:01:56,120 --> 06:01:58,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: from experience, a reasonable

5175
06:01:58,060 --> 06:01:59,920
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: expectation is maybe one and a half to two

5176
06:01:59,920 --> 06:02:01,120
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: years for

5177
06:02:01,120 --> 06:02:03,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: classrooms. But especially if it involves

5178
06:02:03,740 --> 06:02:05,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: demolition, perhaps a longer

5179
06:02:05,040 --> 06:02:06,680
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: time period, Your Honor.

5180
06:02:07,020 --> 06:02:09,900
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, just to clarify, the 700

5181
06:02:09,900 --> 06:02:11,840
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: is the remaining to be completed?

5182
06:02:12,040 --> 06:02:12,400
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, sir.

5183
06:02:13,200 --> 06:02:15,880
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Okay po, I go to my next set of

5184
06:02:15,880 --> 06:02:17,700
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: questions for Mr. Secretary. Thank you.

5185
06:02:18,420 --> 06:02:19,760
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, it goes into personnel

5186
06:02:19,760 --> 06:02:21,180
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: and school mental health.

5187
06:02:21,460 --> 06:02:24,060
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Kasi medyo alarming po in the

5188
06:02:24,060 --> 06:02:25,020
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: recent years. Medyo tumataas po yung

5189
06:02:25,600 --> 06:02:27,700
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: concerns about

5190
06:02:27,700 --> 06:02:29,900
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: students, and we've heard

5191
06:02:29,920 --> 06:02:32,200
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: of students na needing

5192
06:02:32,200 --> 06:02:33,580
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: mental health support,

5193
06:02:34,480 --> 06:02:35,920
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: students committing suicide,

5194
06:02:36,500 --> 06:02:37,540
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: or students committing

5195
06:02:37,540 --> 06:02:40,060
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: some unfortunate incidents in

5196
06:02:40,060 --> 06:02:41,260
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: school. So,

5197
06:02:42,080 --> 06:02:43,660
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: under Republic Act number

5198
06:02:43,660 --> 06:02:45,920
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: 12080, it requires mental

5199
06:02:45,920 --> 06:02:47,780
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: health and well-being support for

5200
06:02:47,780 --> 06:02:49,840
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: the schools and creates the position of school

5201
06:02:49,840 --> 06:02:51,000
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: counselor-associate.

5202
06:02:51,660 --> 06:02:53,820
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, I just want to focus

5203
06:02:53,820 --> 06:02:55,960
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: on one particular gap when it comes to

5204
06:02:55,960 --> 06:02:57,360
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: the school counselor-associates.

5205
06:02:57,360 --> 06:02:59,620
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, a learner who is struggling emotionally,

5206
06:02:59,620 --> 06:03:02,260
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: needs someone qualified and available

5207
06:03:02,260 --> 06:03:05,200
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: to turn to. So, teachers and advisers

5208
06:03:05,200 --> 06:03:06,940
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: need support in helping that child while

5209
06:03:06,940 --> 06:03:08,860
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: carrying out their teaching responsibilities.

5210
06:03:09,400 --> 06:03:11,660
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: And the purpose under the Republic Act of

5211
06:03:11,660 --> 06:03:13,840
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: funding counselor-associates is to make

5212
06:03:13,840 --> 06:03:15,740
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: that help available po in school.

5213
06:03:16,140 --> 06:03:18,280
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, how many school counselor-associate

5214
06:03:18,280 --> 06:03:20,220
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: positions are actually funded in the

5215
06:03:20,220 --> 06:03:21,820
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: 2027 proposal?

5216
06:03:22,860 --> 06:03:25,000
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: For 2027, it's 1,800, Your Honor.

5217
06:03:26,460 --> 06:03:29,080
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Opo. So that's the number of requests made by the

5218
06:03:29,080 --> 06:03:30,080
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Department of Education?

5219
06:03:30,080 --> 06:03:32,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's the number of positions being funded.

5220
06:03:32,720 --> 06:03:33,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think we requested

5221
06:03:36,160 --> 06:03:40,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 39,000 positions because we'd like, as you mentioned,

5222
06:03:40,060 --> 06:03:43,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: given the importance of the position and the need for it,

5223
06:03:43,780 --> 06:03:46,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we really want each school to have one at the

5224
06:03:46,700 --> 06:03:48,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: soonest possible time, Your Honor.

5225
06:03:48,320 --> 06:03:49,320
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Opo, Mr. Secretary.

5226
06:03:49,320 --> 06:03:53,200
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, around what amount would actually be needed for a

5227
06:03:53,200 --> 06:03:58,440
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: meaningful first tranche when it comes to the counselor-associates?

5228
06:03:59,080 --> 06:04:03,440
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's 11.4 billion by our calculations, Your Honor.

5229
06:04:03,440 --> 06:04:06,880
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, for example, if Congress provided an additional

5230
06:04:06,880 --> 06:04:09,880
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: billion pesos, especially for school counselor-associates,

5231
06:04:09,880 --> 06:04:13,080
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: how many school counselor-associates po kaya yung ma-deploy?

5232
06:04:13,080 --> 06:04:14,080
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: One billion, yes.

5233
06:04:14,080 --> 06:04:15,080
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: One billion?

5234
06:04:15,080 --> 06:04:16,080
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: One billion.

5235
06:04:30,370 --> 06:04:33,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Around between 3,500 and 4,000.

5236
06:04:33,370 --> 06:04:35,450
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Probably about 3,600, Your Honor.

5237
06:04:35,450 --> 06:04:36,450
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Okay, sir.

5238
06:04:36,450 --> 06:04:37,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Roughly.

5239
06:04:37,210 --> 06:04:38,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Roughly.

5240
06:04:38,210 --> 06:04:39,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Yes, A'pon.

5241
06:04:39,210 --> 06:04:43,950
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So is there a criteria po in the deployment of the school counselor-associates?

5242
06:04:43,950 --> 06:04:47,250
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Which ones would be prioritized po, by region or by...?

5243
06:04:47,250 --> 06:04:52,130
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's really the need, and you look at the size of the schools, you look at the history

5244
06:04:52,130 --> 06:04:59,490
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: of bullying in the schools, Your Honor, the history of mental health episodes, so these

5245
06:04:59,490 --> 06:05:01,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: are some of the factors we look at.

5246
06:05:01,210 --> 06:05:06,570
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Of course, we want to make sure that these are also equitably distributed across the

5247
06:05:06,570 --> 06:05:07,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: country, Your Honor.

5248
06:05:07,210 --> 06:05:08,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Yes po.

5249
06:05:08,210 --> 06:05:09,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So given that there are...

5250
06:05:09,210 --> 06:05:10,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Ilan po ulit, Mr. Secretary?

5251
06:05:10,210 --> 06:05:11,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: 1,000?

5252
06:05:11,210 --> 06:05:12,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: How many for next year?

5253
06:05:12,210 --> 06:05:13,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: 1,800?

5254
06:05:13,210 --> 06:05:14,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: 1,800?

5255
06:05:14,210 --> 06:05:15,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: For next year?

5256
06:05:15,210 --> 06:05:16,210

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: for 1,800

5259
06:05:18,210 --> 06:05:19,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: school counselor-associates,

06:05:19,210 --> 06:05:20,210

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor.

5262
06:05:21,210 --> 06:05:22,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Okay po.

5263
06:05:22,210 --> 06:05:23,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So medyo malayo po

5264
06:05:23,210 --> 06:05:24,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: doon sa ideal po

5265
06:05:24,210 --> 06:05:25,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: sana natin na

5266
06:05:25,210 --> 06:05:26,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: for now, for now

5267
06:05:26,210 --> 06:05:27,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: medyo malayo pa.

5268
06:05:27,210 --> 06:05:28,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: For now, medyo malayo pa.

5269
06:05:28,210 --> 06:05:29,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Opo.

5270
06:05:29,210 --> 06:05:30,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Pero I just wanted

5271
06:05:30,210 --> 06:05:31,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: to highlight po kasi

5272
06:05:31,210 --> 06:05:32,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: the importance of

5273
06:05:32,210 --> 06:05:33,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: having more support

5274
06:05:33,210 --> 06:05:34,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: for the school

5275
06:05:34,210 --> 06:05:35,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: counselor-

5276
06:05:35,210 --> 06:05:36,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: associates.

5277
06:05:36,210 --> 06:05:37,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We appreciate that

5278
06:05:37,210 --> 06:05:38,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: very much, Your Honor.

5279
06:05:38,210 --> 06:05:39,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Yes po.

5280
06:05:39,210 --> 06:05:40,210
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Opo.

5281
06:05:40,210 --> 06:05:47,010
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: And hopefully marami po bang initiatives ang Department of Education when it comes to

5282
06:05:47,010 --> 06:05:50,690
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: supporting and hopefully preventing further incidents po when it comes to schools?

5283
06:05:50,690 --> 06:05:52,570
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor.

5284
06:05:52,570 --> 06:05:59,310
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Aside from what tends to get a lot of airtime or publicity are the security measures, so

5285
06:05:59,310 --> 06:06:05,710
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the barcode, the CCTV, the metal detectors, security guards.

5286
06:06:05,710 --> 06:06:07,010
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But those are only a few.

5287
06:06:07,010 --> 06:06:11,810
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: a fraction of the needed interventions, and as you mentioned the mental health interventions are

5288
06:06:11,810 --> 06:06:17,730
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: probably the more lasting ones and uh because if if a person is determined there's really

5289
06:06:17,730 --> 06:06:24,290
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: despite all of these physical uh obstacles there's still a way to to perform violent acts so

5290
06:06:25,650 --> 06:06:29,570
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: what we're trying to do is really build a larger sense of community so it's really

5291
06:06:29,570 --> 06:06:36,130
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in a way it requires requires nothing short of a paradigm shift from our educators and uh even the

5292
06:06:36,130 --> 06:06:42,130
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: non non-teaching staff everyone who populates the school and the school community because

5293
06:06:42,130 --> 06:06:46,210
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: uh we're you know very simple interventions knowing the name of your learner

5294
06:06:46,210 --> 06:06:51,170
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: uh asking them or you know making sure they have someone to talk to in the course of the day

5295
06:06:51,170 --> 06:06:56,370
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: that no one is left alone and uh also ensuring that the children talk to each other we're also

5296
06:06:56,370 --> 06:07:03,890
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: considering uh you know uh limiting use of smartphones in schools unless it's for uh

5297
06:07:06,130 --> 06:07:08,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: educational purposes your honor so uh

5298
06:07:12,290 --> 06:07:17,170
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: but even we're even looking at the recess and the free time of the students because

5299
06:07:17,170 --> 06:07:23,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we want them to socialize we want them to uh to to stay away from the gadgets where you know they

5300
06:07:23,250 --> 06:07:28,610
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: can be influenced by all sorts of uh things especially those who are 15 or 16 and below

5301
06:07:28,610 --> 06:07:35,410
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so uh aside from this the we're also trying to ramp up the training of our personnel because not

5302
06:07:36,130 --> 06:07:42,290
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: everyone is trained how to deal with the administration of psychological first aid

5303
06:07:42,290 --> 06:07:47,570
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor. So when Tacloban happened, we were really overwhelmed. There were

5304
06:07:47,570 --> 06:07:52,770
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: there were at least 400 people who needed immediate psychological first aid so things

5305
06:07:52,770 --> 06:08:00,130
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: like that but thankfully uh many in the community really responded the university community the

5306
06:08:00,130 --> 06:08:05,250
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: university community, the DSWD, the DOH, the hospitals, the state, [unclear],

5307
06:08:06,130 --> 06:08:11,970
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Eastern Visayas Medical, they really pitched in to fill the gap

5308
06:08:11,970 --> 06:08:14,950
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because DepEd was overwhelmed at that time, Your Honor.

5309
06:08:15,630 --> 06:08:17,370
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary.

5310
06:08:17,990 --> 06:08:22,110
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So if only to highlight lang po, I think the committee and Congress

5311
06:08:22,110 --> 06:08:25,510
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: should really support the budget of the Department of Education,

5312
06:08:25,510 --> 06:08:29,410
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: especially in increasing the support for mental health awareness,

5313
06:08:29,690 --> 06:08:32,250
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: mental health supports, and the initiatives of the Department of Education.

5314
06:08:32,250 --> 06:08:36,230
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So hopefully, good luck po sa budget process.

5315
06:08:36,690 --> 06:08:41,990
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: And I would just like to manifest that I wholeheartedly support

5316
06:08:41,990 --> 06:08:46,410
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: the Department of Education, especially when it comes to this mental health effort.

5317
06:08:46,670 --> 06:08:48,490
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So salamat po, Mr. Secretary.

5318
06:08:48,750 --> 06:08:49,590
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you, Your Honor.

5319
06:08:49,690 --> 06:08:52,890
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's much, much appreciated, especially at this stage.

5320
06:08:52,890 --> 06:09:02,530
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Maraming salamat po. Thank you.

5321
06:09:11,560 --> 06:09:13,690
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: We hope to be the last question, last manifestation. Cong. Ann Matibag.

06:09:23,360 --> 06:09:26,760
Rep. Ann Matibag: I just want to commend you and say thank you.

5326
06:09:27,880 --> 06:09:30,580
Rep. Ann Matibag: Hindi po nakakalimutan ng mga taga-San Pedro

5327
06:09:30,580 --> 06:09:37,020
Rep. Ann Matibag: ang ginawa ninyo po sa San Pedro bilang pinakaunang public school na full air-conditioned.

5328
06:09:37,280 --> 06:09:40,880
Rep. Ann Matibag: Four floors and

5329
06:09:41,560 --> 06:09:42,160
Rep. Ann Matibag: 18 classrooms po.

5330
06:09:42,600 --> 06:09:47,680
Rep. Ann Matibag: So this is like a model public school sa buong probinsya ng Laguna.

5331
06:09:48,320 --> 06:09:54,280
Rep. Ann Matibag: And Sec, I want to say this to you firsthand po.

5332
06:09:54,280 --> 06:09:59,020
Rep. Ann Matibag: So we got a sponsor from the Department of Energy

5333
06:09:59,020 --> 06:10:05,040
Rep. Ann Matibag: para maging solar na po ito, ang ating first fully air-conditioned public school.

5334
06:10:05,420 --> 06:10:08,940
Rep. Ann Matibag: Kanina po galing po ako sa DICT committee hearing,

5335
06:10:09,080 --> 06:10:11,240
Rep. Ann Matibag: and they have also promised na

5336
06:10:11,560 --> 06:10:17,000
Rep. Ann Matibag: lalagyan po nila ito ng Wi-Fi facility sa ating pong school.

5337
06:10:17,000 --> 06:10:24,320
Rep. Ann Matibag: And with all that is happening, with digital violence, to the grooming,

5338
06:10:24,320 --> 06:10:27,120
Rep. Ann Matibag: to the, with the law enforcement,

5339
06:10:27,120 --> 06:10:34,680
Rep. Ann Matibag: pinapaabot po ng aking kabiyak na magkakaroon po ng inauguration for Junior NBI.

Rep. Ann Matibag: Katuwang po dito ang DepEd.

5341
06:10:36,680 --> 06:10:40,240

5342
06:10:40,240 --> 06:10:40,740

06:10:40,760 --> 06:10:41,440
Rep. Ann Matibag: in San Pedro,

5344
06:10:41,440 --> 06:10:42,400
Rep. Ann Matibag: San Pedro, Laguna.

5345
06:10:42,960 --> 06:10:47,680
Rep. Ann Matibag: And sana po this year magkaroon po tayo ng another building rehabilitation,

5346
06:10:48,500 --> 06:10:53,580
Rep. Ann Matibag: na kung saan mas mapapaganda pa po natin, male-level up natin ang mga public schools.

5347
06:10:54,200 --> 06:11:00,940
Rep. Ann Matibag: And so, Madam Chair, I therefore manifest my wholehearted support

5348
06:11:00,940 --> 06:11:06,240
Rep. Ann Matibag: and hopefully to increase more of the budget of the Department of Education

5349
06:11:06,240 --> 06:11:11,060
Rep. Ann Matibag: dahil po sa aking distrito hindi po kami nahirapan humingi at magpa-validate

5350
06:11:11,440 --> 06:11:19,260

5392
06:14:13,060 --> 06:14:17,700

5393
06:14:19,460 --> 06:14:28,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: a lot of science is already online and what makes us non-artificial is creativity and this type of

5394
06:14:28,980 --> 06:14:35,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: these types of pursuits that are unique to human beings of course at some point maybe the ai will

5395
06:14:35,140 --> 06:14:42,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: catch up with all of us but certainly we have policies where we encourage our learners to go to

5396
06:14:43,060 --> 06:14:49,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: museums and here in ncr for instance there's a scouting museum there's the galleon museum

5402
06:15:25,280 --> 06:15:33,360
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: that that's something that we can pursue and uh we're trying to really see uh at the foundational

5403
06:15:33,360 --> 06:15:39,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: levels uh key stage one great kinder to grade three how can we really inject a lot of uh

5404
06:15:40,720 --> 06:15:46,720
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: music and arts because we're aware of that mit study which says that if we really want our kids to

5405
06:15:47,440 --> 06:15:55,200
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: uh to be brilliant to fulfill their potential uh their maximum potential then actually we should

5406
06:15:55,260 --> 06:16:01,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: introduce music to them uh at an early age because it activates uh many of the different

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: parts of the of the brain so yeah and then of course we have the philippine high school for

5422
06:17:36,060 --> 06:17:41,340
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez: you're very uh aware of um arts and culture especially even in our in our province in our

5423
06:17:41,340 --> 06:17:48,940
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez: district. You mentioned AI. I wanted to ask, baka natanong na po kanina, but the PISA scores are coming

5424
06:17:48,940 --> 06:17:51,100
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez: out tomorrow. May watch party po

5425
06:17:51,420 --> 06:18:04,380
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez: ang Negros Occidental Science High School in Victorias. So may watch party po, but I wanted to ask something about AI.

5426
06:18:04,380 --> 06:18:11,100
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez: um how can ai enhance learning um for our children because there's all there are also moves in the us

5427
06:18:11,820 --> 06:18:15,740
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez: specifically in new york where they've banned it for until i think it's eighth grade if i'm

5428
06:18:15,740 --> 06:18:20,940
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez: not mistaken uh what is your stance here do you think ai can help with learning is it for oral

5429
06:18:21,420 --> 06:18:27,180
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez: modalities um and or do you think we should ban it what do you think is uh can really enhance our

5430
06:18:27,180 --> 06:18:29,520
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez: functional literacy and numeracy

5431
06:18:29,520 --> 06:18:31,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: that's a great question your honor and of course it's a moving

5432
06:18:31,420 --> 06:18:37,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: target because of uh ai itself is uh very very quickly evolving i think it's a double-edged sword

5433
06:18:37,100 --> 06:18:44,300
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: uh your honor so i don't believe in introducing it too early because then uh uh maybe uh it

5434
06:18:44,300 --> 06:18:49,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: affects our learners in a negative way because it takes the place of uh creative thinking and uh

5435
06:18:51,420 --> 06:18:56,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because there are studies that uh show that you shouldn't uh overburden a child's brain you know

5436
06:18:56,620 --> 06:19:03,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: uh you you introduce them like the childs who are given too many toys for instance uh we're not we're

5437
06:19:03,180 --> 06:19:08,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: not as uh we're not as developed thinkers as those who only had a few toys so that's that's one

5438
06:19:08,620 --> 06:19:14,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: aspect maybe maybe we have to deal with meet children where they are uh your honor we have

5439
06:19:14,940 --> 06:19:19,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to meet children where they are so but definitely i think there's a role for ai later on uh especially

5440
06:19:19,820 --> 06:19:21,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in uh in the future

5441
06:19:21,420 --> 06:19:27,420
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: for those who are independent learners also for teachers who have to deal with large classes

5442
06:19:27,420 --> 06:19:33,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: where children are of different capacities then ai can be a friend to that teacher and

5443
06:19:33,900 --> 06:19:41,260
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: personalized learning can proceed uh in a way that it couldn't before so these are some of the things

5444
06:19:41,260 --> 06:19:46,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we we see with ai but of course we have to be very careful because uh well we don't want to

5445
06:19:46,060 --> 06:19:51,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: get left behind but at the same time we don't want to uh we don't

5446
06:19:51,420 --> 06:19:57,820
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: want to replace a child's potential for critical thinking creativity all these things that uh we

5447
06:19:57,820 --> 06:20:00,880
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: want to inculcate in our children

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So from previously when we had a lot of students who were delayed in their reading, even EDCOM finding grade 11

5485
06:22:46,740 --> 06:22:50,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hindi pa rin marunong magbasa. So slowly, I think this ARAL program is really a game changer for us

5486
06:22:50,380 --> 06:22:52,700
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: especially if we fund it, especially if we

5487
06:22:54,100 --> 06:22:58,760
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Give it the right time to grow and really implement it in the right manner

5488
06:22:58,760 --> 06:23:02,620
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At saka 'yung tamang pag-intercept, no? Kasi pag masyadong

5489
06:23:02,620 --> 06:23:05,600
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: matanda na, baka we're going to be too late in the game.

5490
06:23:05,600 --> 06:23:08,560
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: So you're telling me we were able to see a 75% increase

5491
06:23:08,560 --> 06:23:11,940
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: I mean, 75 kasi 4.5 out of 6 million. So 75%

5492
06:23:13,240 --> 06:23:14,760
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: success rate

5493
06:23:14,760 --> 06:23:18,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's right. They're about a very high success rate madam chair.

5494
06:23:18,500 --> 06:23:19,700
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: And now for this year

5495
06:23:19,700 --> 06:23:20,320
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: I understand

5496
06:23:20,320 --> 06:23:26,200
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: that you are requesting for a budget of 16 billion for this for the RL program, but

5497
06:23:27,240 --> 06:23:29,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's correct, ma'am. Yes

5498
06:23:30,780 --> 06:23:34,900
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: But is there a reason why the NEP seems to have decided to

5499
06:23:35,760 --> 06:23:37,760
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: Not include this in there

5500
06:23:38,220 --> 06:23:41,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: These are these are congressional insertions your honor

5501
06:23:41,480 --> 06:23:46,500
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So I think the habit of DBM is really not to include in the following years

5502
06:23:47,320 --> 06:23:49,480
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: NEP or national expenditure program

5503
06:23:50,320 --> 06:23:51,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Non

5504
06:23:51,780 --> 06:23:57,240
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Not NEP items. So they just revert to the NEP out of habit or out of you know

5505
06:23:58,880 --> 06:24:03,900
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: In the expectation perhaps that Congress would once again make the insert necessary insertions

5506
06:24:03,900 --> 06:24:07,180
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: I think well given that taking a look at this now with as you mentioned

5507
06:24:07,180 --> 06:24:14,080
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: It was almost 9 billion for the 6 million students that actually comes up to parent 1,500 peso investment per student long

5508
06:24:14,080 --> 06:24:20,300
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: And if we're going to be allotting, I think that's a very very big ROI now for 1,500 pesos

5509
06:24:20,320 --> 06:24:23,140
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: We get our students back up on track get them reading at the right level

5510
06:24:23,220 --> 06:24:28,120
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: I think that isn't that is an investment that Congress should consider making and

5511
06:24:28,640 --> 06:24:31,660
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: Doubling really and bringing up from 9 billion to 16 billion

5512
06:24:31,660 --> 06:24:36,280
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: So rest assured secretary that on my part I will definitely be supporting

5513
06:24:36,860 --> 06:24:38,720
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: our RL program

5514
06:24:38,720 --> 06:24:42,040
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Many many things and I didn't think of it that way. That's a great way of

5515
06:24:42,920 --> 06:24:50,320
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: arguing it madam Congresswoman that what it boils down to one fight because when you talk about absolute numbers it looks so huge but when you

5516
06:24:50,320 --> 06:24:54,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Actually break it down for learner. It's not that big an amount, but the return is fantastic

5517
06:24:54,580 --> 06:24:56,790
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you for putting it that way your honor

5518
06:24:56,790 --> 06:25:00,280
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: glad to hear that now if I may ask also no, mr. Secretary

5519
06:25:00,280 --> 06:25:07,720
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: Of course, I'm also very interested to hear about the programs for our National Museum. I am very happy to see mr. Jeremy Barnes here

5520
06:25:08,900 --> 06:25:14,740
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: So mr. Barnes, I'm very excited because I know you have so many new museums that are going to be opening this

5521
06:25:15,500 --> 06:25:19,780
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: 2027 I'm very excited to see it because I know you have what can you tell me?

5522
06:25:19,780 --> 06:25:21,780
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: What are the new museums we can expect to see?

5523
06:25:23,340 --> 06:25:27,160
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: Thank You madam chairman and Congresswoman Subiri, it's great to

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: See you today

5525
06:25:29,560 --> 06:25:31,280
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: Thank you for the question

5526
06:25:31,280 --> 06:25:34,660
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: Yes, quite right. We we are working on many museums

5527
06:25:35,720 --> 06:25:41,980
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: We just recently opened in June our museum in Baler, Aurora, and that has been our

5528
06:25:42,440 --> 06:25:45,640
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: Fifth museum under this administration. So in the last three years

5529
06:25:47,560 --> 06:25:49,560
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: Moving forward we're hoping to

5530
06:25:50,080 --> 06:25:52,080
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: renovate the National Museum in Clark

5531
06:25:52,860 --> 06:25:54,200
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: and

5532
06:25:54,200 --> 06:25:56,900
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: complete the National Museum in Paoay, Ilocos Norte

5533
06:25:58,000 --> 06:26:00,000
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: as well as in

5534
06:26:00,200 --> 06:26:06,020
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: Taal, Batangas, Kalibo, Aklan, and Lake Sebu, South Cotabato. So that is a lot

5535
06:26:06,720 --> 06:26:09,140
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: That's a lot that will be coming on stream

5536
06:26:09,640 --> 06:26:11,640
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: from the last quarter

5537
06:26:12,180 --> 06:26:13,780
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: into

5538
06:26:13,780 --> 06:26:15,440
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: Throughout 2027.

5539
06:26:15,440 --> 06:26:19,740
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: That's great. I'm glad you're bringing culture all over the country. No not just here centered in Luzon

5540
06:26:19,780 --> 06:26:25,460
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: but now in our ncr but moving into even mindanao and so given that we are opening so many new

5541
06:26:25,460 --> 06:26:31,240
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: museums uh may i ask about the status of your moo budget and requests

5542
06:26:31,240 --> 06:26:34,740
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: uh sure um well you may

5543
06:26:34,740 --> 06:26:40,500
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: have i think the madam chairman and the members of the committee notice we have a fairly solid

5544
06:26:40,500 --> 06:26:47,460
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: nep for next year and that is because the dbm are allowing us to continue investing in our

5545
06:26:47,460 --> 06:26:54,820
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: infrastructure growth uh we're still at full speed to deliver our commitments under the marcos

5546
06:26:54,820 --> 06:27:03,540
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: administration however our moo if you look has been it's just kind of flat from uh this year

5547
06:27:03,540 --> 06:27:10,660
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: and last year so uh if you look into our proposal we actually find it's it it needs a bit of

5548
06:27:10,660 --> 06:27:17,460
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: augmentation so that we could properly activate the new museums that are coming online so we'll

5549
06:27:17,460 --> 06:27:23,780
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: do have concerns that our moe might not match uh our infrastructure as it gets completed and as we

5550
06:27:24,340 --> 06:27:31,460
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: activate the museum so that's one of our that forms the first priority in our wish list uh

5551
06:27:31,460 --> 06:27:33,330
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: for the 2027 budget

5552
06:27:33,330 --> 06:27:36,340
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: i would understand that because how can we open these museums if we

5553
06:27:36,340 --> 06:27:38,190
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: don't have the proper staff for it no

5554
06:27:38,190 --> 06:27:41,220
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: yeah at the same time ma'am if i may just uh utilities

5555
06:27:41,220 --> 06:27:49,460
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: are going up wages of uh guards and janitors and uh are also going up so um we'd like to make sure

5556
06:27:49,460 --> 06:27:52,730
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: our moe uh keeps pace with that

5557
06:27:52,730 --> 06:27:55,780
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: okay and how much moe are we requesting for this year

5558
06:27:57,860 --> 06:28:06,930
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: uh madam chair your honor um in our wish list we're proposing for an augmentation of 65 million

5559
06:28:06,930 --> 06:28:08,260
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: moe

5560
06:28:08,260 --> 06:28:12,370
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: okay and this is going to be um this will help you

5561
06:28:13,490 --> 06:28:17,450
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: manage the additional museums that are going to be opening in 2027.

5562
06:28:17,450 --> 06:28:18,370
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: yes your honor a large

5563
06:28:18,370 --> 06:28:25,570
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: part of it goes to housekeeping so janitorial security preventive maintenance pest control

5564
06:28:25,570 --> 06:28:29,050
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: as well as utilities definitely all necessary

5565
06:28:29,050 --> 06:28:31,010
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: yes and what about the exhibition no i mean

5566
06:28:31,010 --> 06:28:35,330
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: what are you planning to put in these museums and do you have the necessary budget to actually fund

5567
06:28:35,330 --> 06:28:37,310
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: the exhibitions you're going to be having

5568
06:28:37,310 --> 06:28:40,610
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: uh that's an excellent question your honor um as we

5569
06:28:40,610 --> 06:28:42,770
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: complete the infrastructure of these museums

5570
06:28:42,850 --> 06:28:43,990
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: one by one.

5571
06:28:43,990 --> 06:28:45,730
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: We then move on to the next stage,

5572
06:28:45,730 --> 06:28:48,470
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: which is to fit them out with permanent or special

5573
06:28:48,470 --> 06:28:50,770
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: exhibitions.

5574
06:28:50,770 --> 06:28:54,430
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: As of now, we don't have a budget for exhibitions

5575
06:28:54,430 --> 06:28:55,850
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: for next year.

5576
06:28:55,850 --> 06:28:59,830
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: And that actually is also one of our priority items

5577
06:28:59,830 --> 06:29:02,710
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: on the wish list.

5578
06:29:02,710 --> 06:29:05,170
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: And just to anticipate the question,

5579
06:29:05,170 --> 06:29:12,730
National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: in the amount of 79 million proposed for next year.

5580
06:29:12,730 --> 06:29:16,390
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: Well, Mr. Barnes, I'm glad you're telling us this,

5581
06:29:16,390 --> 06:29:18,370
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: because I think this is worth considering.

5582
06:29:18,370 --> 06:29:21,110
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: Because if we continue with building these museums,

5583
06:29:21,110 --> 06:29:23,150
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: but we don't have a staff to man them,

5584
06:29:23,150 --> 06:29:25,490
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: we don't have exhibitions for people to see,

5585
06:29:25,490 --> 06:29:28,430
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: we're going to end up with white elephants.

5586
06:29:28,430 --> 06:29:31,230
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: And we'll end up having wasted a lot of money.

5587
06:29:31,230 --> 06:29:34,210
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: In contrast, if we invest a little extra,

5588
06:29:34,210 --> 06:29:36,970
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: then we bring so much culture to our people.

5589
06:29:36,970 --> 06:29:40,750
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: And we're able to really keep alive our traditions,

5590
06:29:40,750 --> 06:29:41,590
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: which we need.

5591
06:29:41,590 --> 06:29:42,470
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: I think.

5592
06:29:42,470 --> 06:29:44,270
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: We all agree that education should not

5593
06:29:44,270 --> 06:29:45,950
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: be limited just to academic, but should also

5594
06:29:45,950 --> 06:29:47,570
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: include our heritage.

5595
06:29:47,570 --> 06:29:51,470
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: So we will work on supporting our national museum.

5596
06:29:51,470 --> 06:29:55,370
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: But Mr. Barnes, I do have one slight complaint.

5597
06:29:55,370 --> 06:29:59,190
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: I noticed you still are not visiting us in Bukidnon.

5598
06:29:59,190 --> 06:30:00,110
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: We have a lot of

5599
06:30:00,110 --> 06:30:05,040
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: properties there the city that is offering the national museum and we would love it if you could

5600
06:30:05,040 --> 06:30:11,200
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: come because we have our seven tribes and i think our indigenous peoples also deserve a museum that

5601
06:30:11,200 --> 06:30:16,800
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: would keep our indigenous traditions alive so i hope you can consider my request please come

5602
06:30:16,800 --> 06:30:23,700
Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: consider bukidnon as the next venue for the next national museum site

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: program which needs to be increased because this will result to reduction of feeding cycle

5621
06:31:54,320 --> 06:32:00,160
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: computerization program, school building program, ARAL program, and mental health program

5622
06:32:01,040 --> 06:32:08,640
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: almost all programs, Madam Chair. So it is now for the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations

5624
06:32:17,280 --> 06:32:22,960
Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: the merits of all this discussion so i'll now turn over you to the chairperson of the committee

5625

5629
06:32:42,480 --> 06:32:53,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: today's deliberations. Mukhang ito po yata 'yung pinakamaikli, seven hours. Nag-start po two years ago, twelve.

5630
06:32:53,440 --> 06:32:59,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: was eight um now we're down to seven hours so um i think that goes to show that that's also

5631
06:32:59,120 --> 06:33:04,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: a testament to the to the hard work of the department and the members are also

5632
06:33:04,960 --> 06:33:11,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: um recognizing that uh we've seen the improvement in the implementation of the different programs

5633
06:33:11,760 --> 06:33:17,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so secure um second i just wanted to um jump off from what chair marcar was saying actually

5634
06:33:17,280 --> 06:33:22,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: this was something that we were discussing uh over the past couple of minutes i was looking

5635
06:33:22,720 --> 06:33:28,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: through the budget of depth ed so if we look at it neptune um

5636
06:33:29,120 --> 06:33:37,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: increase in the budget uh from um 2026 nep compared to the 2027 nep is 41.3 billion pesos

5637
06:33:37,680 --> 06:33:47,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: um if you would look at it from a per component standpoint the ps um took a vast majority of that

5638
06:33:47,920 --> 06:33:56,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: actually at 57.8 billion peso increase so just extrapolating from there um we we we see that uh

5639
06:33:59,120 --> 06:34:09,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: there was a 16 billion peso cut um in the in the other programs the other components mooe

5640
06:34:09,900 --> 06:34:17,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: capital outlay um so um and that's uh what chair maricar actually uh highlighted to me

5641
06:34:17,100 --> 06:34:24,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: which is there were specific uh important programs from which the funding was cut and

5642
06:34:24,140 --> 06:34:32,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as mentioned by chairman carr um that includes um the sped program um sned school-based feeding

5643
06:34:32,540 --> 06:34:42,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: programs and mental health programs and as you know and as also are raised by um sexani um in in

5644
06:34:42,940 --> 06:34:48,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: over the course of the deliberations a lot of these are programs which congress supported

5645
06:34:48,620 --> 06:34:55,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in terms of augmentation during the previous budget cycle. So siguro po, Sec, I think

5646
06:34:55,740 --> 06:35:02,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 'yun siguro, that's the intricacy that we're dealing with. That's something new

5647
06:35:02,540 --> 06:35:09,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that wasn't there um in the previous budget cycle which is there are certain programs like the ssl

5648
06:35:09,740 --> 06:35:16,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: um increase um the expanded career progression program and there are these things that um are

5649
06:35:16,540 --> 06:35:23,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: very important that really raised the level of the PS. So siguro po titignan natin which among the

5650
06:35:24,540 --> 06:35:32,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: programs which were um which comprises the 16 billion peso decrease in mooe and capital outlay

5651
06:35:32,540 --> 06:35:40,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we can consider for augmentation. Pero siguro, Sec, what I wanted to probably lay out with you today

5652
06:35:40,780 --> 06:35:47,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: before we end today's deliberations is pretty much just paint the picture what would happen

5653
06:35:47,260 --> 06:35:52,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if we're unable to restore the funding for these particular programs uh for example

5654
06:35:53,980 --> 06:36:00,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the school-based feeding program um last year the nep was 11 billion um

5655
06:36:02,540 --> 06:36:09,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: roughly 26. uh it was raised to 26 billion in the ga so what would be the impact because in the 2027

5656
06:36:09,820 --> 06:36:17,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nep it's back down to the 11 billion peso level so we just want to understand on our part what

5657
06:36:17,580 --> 06:36:26,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: would be the impact if it remains at the 11 billion peso level uh there's a number of ways

5658
06:36:26,940 --> 06:36:31,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: this feeding program is affected madam chair and thank you for uh again for the 2026 budget it's

5659
06:36:32,540 --> 06:36:37,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: very generous and we realize i don't envy your positions very difficult very difficult choices

5660
06:36:37,340 --> 06:36:44,140
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: before you madam chair uh given the needs of the country uh i think the first is the cycle

5661
06:36:44,140 --> 06:36:49,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so right now uh you're looking at the 120 days instead of 180 days which is the whole

5662
06:36:49,100 --> 06:36:52,780
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: school year and uh i think well documented is the fact that

5663
06:36:52,780 --> 06:37:02,460
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na pag hindi natin pinakain for the remainder of the school year, babalik rin sila. So in a way parang you go forward but you go back, whereas if you continue

5664
06:37:02,540 --> 06:37:07,980
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the whole cycle then uh then you've really addressed the problem and the second is the

5665
06:37:08,620 --> 06:37:13,660
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: we won't have universal feeding for grade one so we'll have it for kinder but not for grade one

5666
06:37:13,660 --> 06:37:20,060
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and the third is the central kitchens which i think is one of the goals of edcom also is to

5667
06:37:20,060 --> 06:37:25,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: increase the number of hot meals because right now we have a mix of hot meals and prepared food

5668
06:37:26,380 --> 06:37:32,540
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so i think the universal belief is that the hot meals are more nutritious and healthier

5669
06:37:32,540 --> 06:37:41,580
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: than uh some of our packed meals or uh bread items or uh fortified food items so you main

5670
06:37:41,580 --> 06:37:46,160
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So 'yun po ang main difference with respect to the feeding, Your Honor.

5671
06:37:46,160 --> 06:37:48,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sec, one of the concerns which we

5672
06:37:48,700 --> 06:37:54,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: had um when we gave the 26 billion allocation for the school-based feeding program in the 2026 ga

5673
06:37:54,940 --> 06:37:59,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: was the absorptive capacity of the department um to be able to implement that um what's the

5674
06:37:59,980 --> 06:38:02,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: utilization rate for the school-based feeding program i think

5675
06:38:02,540 --> 06:38:08,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the concern was would there be enough suppliers for the milk uh would there be enough kitchens to

5676
06:38:08,460 --> 06:38:15,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to cook um the meals so you know we just wanted to see how um where we are in terms of implementing

5677
06:38:15,740 --> 06:38:19,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the 26 billion in the 2026 GAA.

5678
06:38:19,320 --> 06:38:22,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you, Madam Chair. We're currently at 45.8 percent

5679
06:38:22,860 --> 06:38:27,340
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and uh i'd like to share that this is a program which is school year dependent meaning it carries

5680
06:38:27,340 --> 06:38:32,220
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: over to the next year because see you pay after the second sem so there really be some

5681
06:38:32,540 --> 06:38:43,180
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: uh carry over to the following year but uh if we look at past years like 2025 it's a 90 90

5682
06:38:43,180 --> 06:38:51,020
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: utilization for 2024 a little lower 81 so uh i think we're also improving in how to

5683
06:38:51,020 --> 06:38:53,350
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: how to utilize the funds

5684
06:38:53,350 --> 06:38:57,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: thank you we just wanted to use that as a basis as well uh whether the 26

5685
06:38:57,420 --> 06:39:02,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion is adequate or is it um going to be underutilized but looking

5686
06:39:02,540 --> 06:39:10,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: uh looking at the fact that you're already at 45 um adjusted for the the academic calendar um you

5687
06:39:10,140 --> 06:39:17,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: should be on track um in utilizing the amount um for first first ned um this is something that we

5688
06:39:17,900 --> 06:39:23,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: added uh we augmented funds for this actually last year so this is something that's close to the

5689
06:39:23,180 --> 06:39:30,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: heart of congress uh we want to be able to help the special needs um special learning needs of

5690
06:39:30,700 --> 06:39:31,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of students

5691
06:39:32,540 --> 06:39:34,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Um, gaano kalaki po 'yung

5692
06:39:34,540 --> 06:39:38,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: deficit we're seeing here?

5693
06:39:38,440 --> 06:39:41,740
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's a smaller one, Your Honor. You're only talking about

5694
06:39:41,740 --> 06:39:45,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 983.8.

5695
06:39:45,260 --> 06:39:48,050
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But that includes SNED, madrasah.

5696
06:39:48,050 --> 06:39:48,860
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yeah,

5697
06:39:48,860 --> 06:39:50,170
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: IPED, multigrade.

5698
06:39:50,170 --> 06:39:54,940
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: You're short about 190 million to

5699
06:39:54,940 --> 06:39:58,100
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: reach the 2026 levels, Your Honor. It's not a huge amount.

5700
06:39:58,100 --> 06:40:00,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And then for ARAL po, Sec. Sonny, I believe

5701
06:40:00,860 --> 06:40:01,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: like last year

5702
06:40:02,540 --> 06:40:12,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: meron na siya sa NEP eh. Dinagdagan lang natin or totally wala ba? I vividly remember we advocated for this during the [unclear].

5703
06:40:12,620 --> 06:40:20,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ah, may ARAL and non-ARAL pa na binigyan po tayo last year. So how many students would be excluded from the program if we are not able to

5704
06:40:20,300 --> 06:40:25,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: restore the funding for aral

5705
06:40:25,760 --> 06:40:29,490
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: that would be all but i think we would be forced to reallocate uh

5706
06:40:29,490 --> 06:40:34,930
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: within from within the internal budget so maybe cut some maintenance funds and and reallocate to

5707
06:40:35,570 --> 06:40:40,290
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because i think that's how important the rl program is is really uh i really feel it's a

5708
06:40:40,290 --> 06:40:45,890
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: game changer your honor in terms of uh helping those who are falling behind because i remember

5709
06:40:45,890 --> 06:40:52,050
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: you explained to us last year there are teachers who are volunteers and then there are non-teaching

5710
06:40:52,050 --> 06:40:59,330
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: volunteers uh for for aral so seriously i think that's the thing we're grappling with at the moment

5711
06:40:59,330 --> 06:41:05,010
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: um because if we have to find a source uh for these and

5712
06:41:06,450 --> 06:41:12,930
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: well sex you would know this more than anyone as a as a chairperson of the the committee on finance

5713
06:41:12,930 --> 06:41:21,330
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so um we'll we'll do our best process we understand the the programs that were hit by the non-inclusion

5714
06:41:21,970 --> 06:41:29,010
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the name these are very important programs so we'll secure you you have here the the budget

5715
06:41:29,010 --> 06:41:35,090
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: requests which you highlighted earlier would this be the same um priority programs that you would

5716
06:41:35,490 --> 06:41:39,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: consider for for augmentation restoration

5717
06:41:39,960 --> 06:41:43,410
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: yes your honor but i know the number is quite large so um

5718
06:41:43,970 --> 06:41:48,380
DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: If you, maybe we can submit a reprioritization of the items.

5719
06:41:48,380 --> 06:41:49,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, please.

5720
06:41:49,700 --> 06:42:04,690
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We'll make your job easier. Looking at the numbers po, medyo the 145 billion, [unclear] saan ko hahanapin ito. But seriously, you know how important education is for us. We're one with you.

5721
06:42:04,690 --> 06:42:11,730
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We placed a substantial increase in the education budget during the last cycle, and we all

5722
06:42:11,730 --> 06:42:18,450
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: cycle and we're all together we we managed to hit the four percent benchmark last year and congress
