It's perhaps to asr-000524 00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:25.520 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: encourage also asr-000525 00:33:25.520 --> 00:33:27.780 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: some of the LGUs to build. asr-000526 00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:29.860 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And perhaps asr-000527 00:33:29.860 --> 00:33:31.920 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: one of these ways is if Congress could asr-000528 00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:33.900 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: look at amending the Adopt-a-School asr-000529 00:33:33.900 --> 00:33:35.040 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: law to include, asr-000530 00:33:35.520 --> 00:33:37.640 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to expand the menu for, asr-000531 00:33:38.360 --> 00:33:39.880 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because this has proven to be a very asr-000532 00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:41.880 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: powerful incentive for the private asr-000533 00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:43.820 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: sector to invest in education asr-000534 00:33:43.820 --> 00:33:46.020 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because they get a very hefty asr-000535 00:33:46.020 --> 00:33:47.920 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: malaki yung tax break na tinatanggap asr-000536 00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:49.720 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: po ng mga pribadong asr-000537 00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:51.500 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: korporasyon.

00:48:23.880 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's why we're focusing on kinder and grade 1. asr-000823 00:48:23.980 --> 00:48:24.920 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, sana may balik po yun. asr-000824 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, asr-000825 00:48:30.560 --> 00:48:31.720 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the learning outcomes, Your Honor. asr-000826 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. asr-000827 00:48:36.980 --> 00:48:41.000 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, yung aral nga, as mentioned in the interchange with Congressman Plato, asr-000828 00:48:41.340 --> 00:48:43.880 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: wala rin pondo, allotted funds for that. asr-000829 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. asr-000830 00:48:51.100 --> 00:48:54.780 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil yung nagawa po lang natin is reading, aral reading. asr-000831 00:48:55.220 --> 00:48:57.180 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And yet, napakaganda na po nung epekto. asr-000832 00:48:57.640 --> 00:48:59.360 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil for the first time in history, asr-000833 00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:02.580 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at nagpapasalamat muli tayo sa Kongreso kay Pangulong Marcos, asr-000834 00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:07.860 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na merong programa, na merong tutors ang bawat estudyante ng public schools. asr-000835 00:49:07.980 --> 00:49:09.000 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: First time nangyari po yan. asr-000836 00:49:09.520 --> 00:49:16.720 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I know certain LGUs, certain schools, kumukuha ng sponsor para gawin yun. asr-000837 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. asr-000838 00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:21.940 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, sana masustain yung momentum na ito. asr-000839 00:49:21.940 --> 00:49:25.300 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And at the same time, it's also, asr-000840 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. asr-000841 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. asr-000842 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, asr-000843 00:49:41.620 --> 00:49:46.400 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hindi naman na zero yung voucher program. asr-000844 00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:48.280 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ano lang, nabawasan lang ng konti. asr-000845 00:49:48.440 --> 00:49:50.540 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, that means less beneficiaries also. asr-000846 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 asr-000847 00:49:57.180 --> 00:49:57.320 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: our congested public schools asr-000848 00:49:57.340 --> 00:50:03.720 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: by giving vouchers to nearby private schools in the

Presley C. De Jesus: And then, when it comes to education, 20% of the total national budget. asr-003497 03:53:12.110 --> 03:53:15.410 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, right now, we have something like 7.2 trillion. asr-003498 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. asr-003499 03:53:20.030 --> 03:53:24.030 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Remember, laging sinasabi ng mga bayani natin, asr-003500 03:53:24.190 --> 03:53:27.550 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: kabataan ang pag-asa ng kinabukasan natin. asr-003506 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. asr-003507 03:53:31.810 --> 03:53:37.890 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Right now, ilang percent po ang pie natin sa budget natin? asr-003508 03:53:38.190 --> 03:53:38.730 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ilang percent? asr-003509 03:53:39.250 --> 03:53:43.130 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's about 14% of the, 14.3% of the national budget. asr-003510 03:53:44.030 --> 03:53:45.190 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's the budget. asr-003511 03:53:45.490 --> 03:53:45.630 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yeah. asr-003512 03:53:45.910 --> 03:53:46.410 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So ang baba, no? asr-003513 03:53:47.350 --> 03:53:48.050 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Hindi naman mababa yun. asr-003514 03:53:48.530 --> 03:53:50.750 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Medyo maganda na 'yan kumpara sa dati, Your Honor. asr-003515 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. asr-003516 03:53:54.730 --> 03:53:55.190 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Yeah. asr-003517 03:53:55.390 --> 03:53:56.270 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: You're being modest. asr-003518 03:53:56.430 --> 03:53:59.010 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Secretary. Pero actually, no? asr-003519 03:53:59.010 --> 03:54:01.800 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kasi when you look at Vietnam, nakikita ko, asr-003520 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. asr-003521 03:54:06.100 --> 03:54:10.950 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: In our ratio po natin sa ating mga schools, asr-003522 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. asr-003523 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? asr-003524 03:54:22.150 --> 03:54:25.400 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Medyo ho nahuli ho tayo diyan. asr-003526 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. asr-003527 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 asr-003528 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. asr-003529 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 asr-003530 03:54:48.270 --> 03:54:50.430 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: so that is attainable in my opinion uh asr-003531 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, asr-003532 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 asr-003533 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 asr-003534 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. asr-003535 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 asr-003536 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. asr-003537 03:55:44.110 --> 03:55:44.430 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Pagdating sa internet asr-003538 03:55:44.430 --> 03:55:51.900 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: connectivity natin, ano naman po ang ratio natin? asr-003539 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. asr-003540 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 asr-003541 03:56:13.970 --> 03:56:16.370 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Having said that, yung quality ng internet is variable. asr-003542 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 asr-003543 03:56:24.130 --> 03:56:24.370 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: use asr-003544 03:56:24.690 --> 03:56:28.850 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: things like academy uh and other education software your honor asr-003545 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: asr-003546 03:56:35.970 --> 03:56:38.050 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: how do we integrate AI ngayon? asr-003547 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, asr-003548 03:56:44.210 --> 03:56:47.810 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: human robotics will be more intelligent than humans. asr-003549 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? asr-003550 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, asr-003551 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 asr-003552 03:57:04.850 --> 03:57:08.050 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: hindi pala science teacher, yung nagtuturo ng chemistry asr-003553 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, asr-003554 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 asr-003555 03:57:21.970 --> 03:57:23.410 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: studies which show that uh asr-003556 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 asr-003557 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 asr-003558 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 asr-003559 03:57:44.850 --> 03:57:46.200 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor. asr-003559-split-2 03:57:46.200 --> 03:57:47.410 Rep.

Roman III: anong dahilan po ba't di kayo nababahala asr-003618 03:59:42.210 --> 03:59:44.210 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil alam ko hong maaga pa sa budgetary process, Your Honor, asr-003619 03:59:44.210 --> 03:59:48.210 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at saka merong mga nagmamahal sa edukasyon tulad ninyo, asr-003620 03:59:48.210 --> 03:59:50.210 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: tulad ni Cong Presley, asr-003621 03:59:50.210 --> 03:59:52.210 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Cong Bong, asr-003622 03:59:52.210 --> 03:59:54.210 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Cong Audrey, tsaka ni Chair Maricar. asr-003623 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 asr-003644 04:00:00.210 --> 04:00:04.600 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: ng budget, kung bakit lumaki yung budget ng DepEd, at marahil asr-003645 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. asr-003646 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? asr-003647 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. asr-003648 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 asr-003649 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 asr-003650 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? asr-003651 04:00:35.060 --> 04:00:41.300 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, I guess to take a few examples, Cong Tony, yung asr-003652 04:00:41.300 --> 04:00:48.560 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: feeding, for example, na-cut siya by around 14 or 15 billion. asr-003653 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 asr-003655 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 asr-003656 04:00:58.560 --> 04:01:02.940 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: around maybe four million this school year with the current budgetary asr-003657 04:01:02.940 --> 04:01:07.000 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: allocation. You are talking two to three million na lang ho, at asr-003658 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 asr-003659 04:01:14.380 --> 04:01:18.000 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: feed them much earlier, but definitely malaking tulong yun. Nakikita natin yung asr-003660 04:01:18.000 --> 04:01:21.660 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: learning outcomes nag-i-improve, yung attendance nag-i-improve, yung asr-003661 04:01:21.660 --> 04:01:24.300 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: timbang nila nag-i-improve din ho, which is asr-003662 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 asr-003663 04:01:29.340 --> 04:01:36.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Pangalawa is the infrastructure, Your Honor. So we got around asr-003664 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 asr-003665 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. asr-003666 04:01:45.240 --> 04:01:49.680 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and uh uh of course it will affect the rate at asr-003667 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. asr-003668 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 asr-003669 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 asr-003670 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 asr-003671 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 asr-003672 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 asr-003673 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 asr-003674 04:02:20.300 --> 04:02:22.800 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ang lahat ng teachers baka hindi ma-achieve asr-003675 04:02:24.300 --> 04:02:28.200 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at the current pace, Your Honor. asr-003676 04:02:28.200 --> 04:02:30.240 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Pag-idugtong po natin yung mga asr-003677 04:02:30.240 --> 04:02:33.240 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: reporma na gusto ninyong ilunsad na medyo asr-003678 04:02:33.240 --> 04:02:35.240 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: mahirapan kayo dahil binabaan asr-003679 04:02:35.240 --> 04:02:37.240 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: ng budget ninyo. Pag-uugnayin niyo po asr-003680 04:02:37.240 --> 04:02:39.240 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: iyan doon sa recommendation ng EDCOM 2 na asr-003681 04:02:39.240 --> 04:02:41.240 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: iyan doon sa recommendation ng EDCOM 2 na asr-003682 04:02:41.240 --> 04:02:43.240 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: halimbawa palakasin yung foundational asr-003683 04:02:43.240 --> 04:02:45.240 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: learning, na i-decentralize ang basic asr-003684 04:02:45.240 --> 04:02:47.240 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: education at iba pang bagay. Ano hong asr-003685 04:02:47.240 --> 04:02:49.240 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: aspeto o partikular na rekomendasyon ng asr-003686 04:02:49.240 --> 04:02:51.240 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: EDCOM 2 ang maapektuhan dahil sa asr-003687 04:02:51.240 --> 04:02:53.240 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: budget na yan? asr-003688 04:02:53.240 --> 04:02:54.300 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Pagbaba. asr-003690 04:02:57.040 --> 04:03:00.040 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Um. asr-003691 04:03:00.040 --> 04:03:02.160 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, asr-003692 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 asr-003696 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 asr-003697 04:03:17.580 --> 04:03:18.840 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: resolve asr-003698 04:03:18.860 --> 04:03:21.540 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: many of our problems in education, or at least asr-003699 04:03:21.540 --> 04:03:22.000 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the asr-003700 04:03:22.000 --> 04:03:24.040 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pace of reform will not be able asr-003702 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 asr-003703 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 asr-003704 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. asr-003705 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. asr-003705-split-2 04:03:50.180 --> 04:03:51.420 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Mr. Secretary, asr-003706 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 asr-003707 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 asr-003708 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 asr-003709 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 asr-003710 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 asr-003711 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 asr-003712 04:04:44.860 --> 04:04:46.620 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: to promote critical thinking, asr-003713 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. asr-003714 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 asr-003715 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 asr-003716 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 asr-003717 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 asr-003718 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, asr-003719 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 asr-003720 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 asr-003721 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 asr-003722 04:05:45.740 --> 04:05:47.400 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: learning, Your Honor. asr-003722-split-2 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. asr-003723 04:06:06.860 --> 04:06:12.620 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: The other thing is this: something I find still conceptual. asr-003724 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. asr-003725 04:06:33.820 --> 04:06:39.420 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Sa inyong pananaw, how would you describe or envision asr-003726 04:06:41.900 --> 04:06:44.700 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: the right kind of LGU participation asr-003727 04:06:45.740 --> 04:06:48.060 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: in local education governance? How would that look? asr-003728 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 asr-003729 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 asr-003730 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 asr-003731 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, asr-003732 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 asr-003733 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. asr-003734 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 asr-003735 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 asr-003736 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 asr-003737 04:07:43.740 --> 04:07:45.700 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: be achieved sooner rather than later. asr-003738 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? asr-003739 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 asr-003740 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 asr-003741 04:08:03.840 --> 04:08:09.380 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: and match what DepEd is doing on the ground, asr-003742 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 asr-003743 04:08:13.100 --> 04:08:17.340 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: decentralization under the auspices of EDCOM and Synergeia has been very asr-003744 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 asr-003745 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 asr-003746 04:08:27.500 --> 04:08:34.820 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: committing resources but even personnel manpower the time of their of their asr-003747 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 asr-003748 04:08:41.240 --> 04:08:42.400 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: problems asr-003749 04:08:42.400 --> 04:08:43.100 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: how would you asr-003750 04:08:43.100 --> 04:08:48.740 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: institutionalize that participation or involvement by the LGU the local school asr-003751 04:08:48.740 --> 04:08:51.780 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: board? We changed the menu, Your Honor. So asr-003752 04:08:51.780 --> 04:08:55.040 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: binago natin yung menu for the special education fund. Dati asr-003753 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, asr-003754 04:09:01.700 --> 04:09:08.860 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: digitalization remediation so the well of LGUs actually and the more asr-003755 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 asr-003756 04:09:12.400 --> 04:09:13.000 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: a asr-003757 04:09:13.100 --> 04:09:14.030 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: in effect. asr-003757-split-2 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 asr-003758 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 asr-003759 04:09:28.560 --> 04:09:30.500 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think the Usecs and Asecs feel the same way. asr-003759-split-2 04:09:30.500 --> 04:09:35.180 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: And so the need to actually decentralize asr-003760 04:09:35.180 --> 04:09:43.000 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: it. Meron ho kayong magandang programa na asr-003761 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, asr-003762 04:09:49.460 --> 04:09:53.000 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Book Nook where you install parang libraries or reading hubs. asr-003763 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 asr-003764 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? asr-003765 04:10:11.560 --> 04:10:13.450 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor. We will. asr-003765-split-2 04:10:13.450 --> 04:10:14.160 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Ayan ha. asr-003765-split-3 04:10:14.160 --> 04:10:15.400 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We will make sure. asr-003765-split-4 04:10:15.400 --> 04:10:20.760 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Maraming salamat po. asr-003766 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 asr-003769 04:10:22.980 --> 04:10:30.180 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: three daughters, and I firmly believe in education. I hope that asr-003770 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 asr-003771 04:10:36.120 --> 04:10:40.020 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: move the needle, gain some traction over the years. asr-003772 04:10:40.020 --> 04:10:41.460 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Maraming salamat po. asr-003772-split-2 04:10:41.460 --> 04:10:44.100 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That is well taken. Maraming salamat po, asr-003773 04:10:44.100 --> 04:10:49.500 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Cong Tony Boy. Thank you po. asr-003773-split-2 04:10:49.500 --> 04:10:50.800 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Thank you. asr-003773-split-3 04:10:50.800 --> 04:10:53.900 Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora: Next to ask a question is Representative Bong Suntay. asr-003773-split-4 04:10:53.900 --> 04:10:54.550 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Thank you. asr-003774 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 asr-003775 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 asr-003776 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 asr-003777 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 asr-003778 04:11:21.290 --> 04:11:24.190 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: that they have asr-003779 04:11:24.550 --> 04:11:28.550 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kaya dito sa atin, nabanggit kanina ni Cong Presley, nakakalungkot. asr-003780 04:11:28.550 --> 04:11:31.550 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Dati sa Asia, we were among the highest. asr-003781 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. asr-003782 04:11:39.550 --> 04:11:46.550 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And it has been consistent that nandoon tayo sa lowest. asr-003783 04:11:46.550 --> 04:11:50.550 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Magsimula muna ako dito sa appropriations natin, Secretary. asr-003784 04:11:50.550 --> 04:11:54.550 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: For fiscal year 2025, it was P734 billion. asr-003785 04:11:54.550 --> 04:11:57.550 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: It was increased noong 2026 to 958 billion. asr-003786 04:11:57.550 --> 04:12:04.550 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Noong 2027, bumaba naman to 914 billion. asr-003787 04:12:04.550 --> 04:12:08.550 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So yung total expenditure program declined by 3.9%. asr-003788 04:12:08.550 --> 04:12:10.550 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Bakit po naging ganoon? asr-003789 04:12:10.550 --> 04:12:15.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Eh alam naman natin na kailangan na kailangan yung education. asr-003790 04:12:15.150 --> 04:12:17.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, sir. We ask for a bigger budget. asr-003792 04:12:18.150 --> 04:12:20.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Opo. Tama ho kayo. asr-003793 04:12:20.150 --> 04:12:23.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Tama yung figures na sinite ninyo, Cong Suntay, Cong Bong. asr-003794 04:12:23.150 --> 04:12:27.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But unfortunately, hindi natin control yung final figure natin. asr-003795 04:12:27.150 --> 04:12:30.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We proposed a much bigger figure, asr-003796 04:12:30.150 --> 04:12:33.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 1.1 trillion to the DBM. asr-003797 04:12:33.150 --> 04:12:35.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But, of course, we realize there's a lot of… asr-003798 04:12:35.150 --> 04:12:42.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We're not the only agency arguing for a larger budget. asr-003799 04:12:42.150 --> 04:12:45.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, that's the reality we face. asr-003800 04:12:45.150 --> 04:12:47.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: But, hopefully… asr-003801 04:12:47.150 --> 04:12:50.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Dahil nasa initial phase pa lang tayo ng budget process, asr-003802 04:12:50.150 --> 04:12:52.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: baka madagdagan ito over time. asr-003803 04:12:52.150 --> 04:12:55.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Because the increase that you mentioned from 2025 to 2026 asr-003804 04:12:55.150 --> 04:13:00.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: was largely the product of congressional insertion. asr-003805 04:13:00.420 --> 04:13:09.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, for 2027, capital outlay is earmarked at P32.33 billion asr-003806 04:13:09.420 --> 04:13:16.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: compared approximately to the P99.47 billion for fiscal year 2026. asr-003807 04:13:16.420 --> 04:13:18.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, roughly, a reduction of 67.5% asr-003808 04:13:18.420 --> 04:13:22.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So pagka tinitingnan ko, parang asr-003809 04:13:22.420 --> 04:13:26.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: counterintuitive yung fiscal direction natin. asr-003810 04:13:26.420 --> 04:13:32.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Because DePED acknowledges that there is a shortage of classrooms. asr-003811 04:13:32.420 --> 04:13:34.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: But, at the same time, asr-003812 04:13:34.420 --> 04:13:39.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: binawasan by 67.5% yung for classrooms. asr-003813 04:13:39.420 --> 04:13:41.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: What could be the reason? asr-003814 04:13:41.420 --> 04:13:46.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think it is largely the level of the 2026 NEP. asr-003815 04:13:46.420 --> 04:13:47.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Nadagdagan ho talaga yung capital outlay asr-003816 04:13:47.420 --> 04:13:51.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ng 2026 budget during the congressional stage, Your Honor, asr-003817 04:13:51.420 --> 04:13:56.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: during the congressional stage, Your Honor, asr-003818 04:13:56.420 --> 04:13:58.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: dito sa House at saka sa Senado, asr-003819 04:13:58.420 --> 04:14:00.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: doon nadagdagan nang malaki. asr-003820 04:14:00.420 --> 04:14:02.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And I think in the bicameral as well, asr-003821 04:14:02.420 --> 04:14:04.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: nadagdagan din ho siya. asr-003822 04:14:04.420 --> 04:14:07.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: And, of course, I'm sure you're also aware asr-003823 04:14:07.420 --> 04:14:10.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: na medyo sumama rin yung lagay ng ating ekonomiya. asr-003824 04:14:10.420 --> 04:14:15.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, I think the collections are also probably not as good asr-003825 04:14:15.420 --> 04:14:16.420 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: as anticipated, Your Honor. asr-003826 04:14:17.420 --> 04:14:19.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kagaya sir ng nabanggit ninyo kanina, asr-003827 04:14:19.420 --> 04:14:25.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: lumaki yung budget allocation mainly because of congressional insertions. asr-003828 04:14:25.420 --> 04:14:29.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Maraming mga nalagay na pondo asr-003829 04:14:29.420 --> 04:14:33.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: sa iba?t ibang distrito, asr-003830 04:14:33.420 --> 04:14:38.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: which did not result in an equitable distribution asr-003831 04:14:38.420 --> 04:14:42.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ng talagang kailangan dito sa bansa natin. asr-003832 04:14:42.420 --> 04:14:44.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: For example, in terms of school building. asr-003833 04:14:44.420 --> 04:14:46.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pag tinitingnan ko kasi yung performance, asr-003834 04:14:46.420 --> 04:14:51.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: for 2025, the target for new classrooms to be constructed asr-003835 04:14:51.420 --> 04:14:53.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: was supposedly 6,000, asr-003836 04:14:53.420 --> 04:14:56.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: pero 99 lang yung natapos. asr-003837 04:14:56.420 --> 04:14:59.420 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: It is an accomplishment rate of 1.65%. asr-003838 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 asr-003839 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 asr-003840 04:15:23.250 --> 04:15:30.000 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: sobrang layo sa target nitong na-accomplish? asr-003840-split-2 04:15:30.000 --> 04:15:32.770 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I think maybe absorptive capacity is one. asr-003841 04:15:32.770 --> 04:15:39.150 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: capacities one really took on a lot of projects the infrastructure agencies asr-003842 04:15:39.150 --> 04:15:45.810 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Another is priorities. Baka hindi naging priority din ang school buildings. asr-003843 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 asr-003844 04:15:51.930 --> 04:15:53.230 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: capacities your honor so asr-003845 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 asr-003846 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 asr-003847 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 asr-003848 04:16:08.730 --> 04:16:16.590 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: classrooms. We have now signed with about 300-plus LGUs. So I asr-003849 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 asr-003850 04:16:20.710 --> 04:16:21.390 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: moving asr-003851 04:16:21.390 --> 04:16:22.470 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: kumpara po sa asr-003852 04:16:22.470 --> 04:16:22.710 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: capital asr-003853 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 asr-003854 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 asr-003855 04:16:33.490 --> 04:16:36.670 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: think the utilization of the budget would be much better asr-003856 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 asr-003857 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 asr-003860 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. asr-003861 04:17:03.270 --> 04:17:05.870 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero even if it was clusterized for 2026, asr-003862 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. asr-003863 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 asr-003865 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 asr-003866 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. asr-003866-split-2 04:17:31.600 --> 04:17:32.110 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay, in terms of asr-003867 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? asr-003868 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 asr-003869 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 asr-003870 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 asr-003871 04:18:01.510 --> 04:18:07.170 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: particularly ncr region 3 region 4a region 7 among others asr-003872 04:18:07.190 --> 04:18:09.800 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Second, we have the? asr-003872-split-2 04:18:09.800 --> 04:18:11.730 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Is this master list published asr-003873 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. asr-003874 04:18:25.890 --> 04:18:29.620 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Puwede pong makakuha before plenary? And then, well, asr-003874-split-2 04:18:29.620 --> 04:18:33.350 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor. asr-003875 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. asr-003875-split-2 04:18:52.700 --> 04:18:56.950 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: We already updated their figures, Your Honor. They were using an asr-003876 04:18:56.950 --> 04:18:59.530 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: older figure, Your Honor. asr-003877 04:18:59.530 --> 04:19:01.640 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So mas tama yung 143 na given? asr-003877-split-2 04:19:01.640 --> 04:19:04.080 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, Your Honor. asr-003877-split-3 04:19:04.080 --> 04:19:05.590 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now, with regards asr-003878 04:19:05.590 --> 04:19:11.070 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: naman doon sa ating senior high school asr-003879 04:19:11.070 --> 04:19:12.610 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: voucher program, asr-003880 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? asr-003880-split-2 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 asr-003881 04:19:40.480 --> 04:19:44.640 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: many safeguards at various levels so at the school level asr-003882 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. asr-003883 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 asr-003884 04:19:56.980 --> 04:20:02.940 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: learner information system or lis through the application programming interface so this asr-003885 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 asr-003886 04:20:07.900 --> 04:20:09.320 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: enrolled in the school asr-003887 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 asr-003888 04:20:14.680 --> 04:20:16.980 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: at the central office level to identify discrepancies with the LIS. asr-003889 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 asr-003891 04:20:42.680 --> 04:20:44.520 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: because ayaw nilang? asr-003892 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 asr-003893 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 asr-003894 04:20:55.960 --> 04:21:02.200 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: pero maraming ghost beneficiaries, Your Honor.

My question will be regarding asr-004509 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 asr-004510 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 asr-004511 05:03:57.800 --> 05:04:04.160 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: region, from Lanao del Norte, from Misamis Occidental, from Misamis Oriental, asr-004512 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 asr-004513 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 asr-004514 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 asr-004515 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 asr-004516 05:04:25.460 --> 05:04:27.620 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: because we are suffering now. There are asr-004519 05:04:27.780 --> 05:04:30.660 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: classes which have asr-004521 05:04:30.680 --> 05:04:33.940 Rep. Rufus B.

Rodriguez: some are already outside the classroom. asr-004525 05:04:36.420 --> 05:04:39.380 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So maybe not from the Secretary; asr-004527 05:04:39.400 --> 05:04:43.460 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: this goes to all our colleagues: when is asr-004529 05:04:43.480 --> 05:04:49.260 Rep. Rufus B.

Rodriguez: And not only that, Madam Chairperson, I have seen the video earlier this morning. asr-004549 05:05:52.500 --> 05:05:54.400 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: I have just to go to the judiciary. asr-004550 05:05:54.640 --> 05:05:56.520 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: I am the one in charge in the budget. asr-004551 05:05:56.660 --> 05:05:57.800 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: That's why we just finished it there. asr-004552 05:05:57.800 --> 05:06:00.160 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So I saw the report. asr-004553 05:06:00.800 --> 05:06:02.560 Rep. Rufus B.

Rodriguez: Together we attach agencies. asr-004556 05:06:14.580 --> 05:06:23.600 Rep. Rufus B.

Rodriguez: They have asked for 145 billion only. asr-004558 05:06:32.010 --> 05:06:32.930 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: But to be doable. asr-004559 05:06:33.250 --> 05:06:35.570 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: I think we should ask Secretary Angara. asr-004560 05:06:36.410 --> 05:06:38.070 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: We cannot give the $145 billion. asr-004561 05:06:38.490 --> 05:06:40.250 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: It's doable, but cannot be done. asr-004562 05:06:41.110 --> 05:06:45.650 Rep. Rufus B.

Bañas-Nograles: We have 45,000, if my data is correct, we have 45,000 public schools. asr-004876 05:31:10.080 --> 05:31:16.480 Rep. Shirlyn L.

Bañas-Nograles: So, kasi itong mga ating associate, they are already experienced in the field. asr-004892 05:32:36.600 --> 05:32:42.280 Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: If we can provide scholarship, customized courses in collaboration, asr-004893 05:32:42.280 --> 05:32:45.960 Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles: for instance, University of the Philippines and other public schools, asr-004894 05:32:45.960 --> 05:32:52.240 Rep. Shirlyn L.

Veloso III: Madam Chair, Your Honor, Cong Nina, the things that DepEd is doing asr-005023 05:43:31.480 --> 05:43:33.040 DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: right now is multifaceted. asr-005024 05:43:33.040 --> 05:43:35.100 DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: AI is being used within teachers. asr-005025 05:43:35.100 --> 05:43:37.600 DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: in the office to determine certain patterns. asr-005026 05:43:37.600 --> 05:43:41.300 DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: So eCare recently launched a project like this, asr-005027 05:43:41.300 --> 05:43:43.080 DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: which is a hazard mapping tool. asr-005028 05:43:43.080 --> 05:43:45.000 DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: But with respect to teachers themselves, asr-005029 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, asr-005030 05:43:49.540 --> 05:43:52.600 DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: Google, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, asr-005031 05:43:52.600 --> 05:43:55.240 DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G.

Veloso III: And in relation to learners themselves, asr-005033 05:43:57.880 --> 05:44:00.280 DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: one of the tools that we've been exploring asr-005034 05:44:00.280 --> 05:44:02.440 DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: is something called reading progress, asr-005035 05:44:02.440 --> 05:44:07.040 DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: where previously teachers would do this manually, asr-005036 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 asr-005037 05:44:09.760 --> 05:44:12.080 DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III: and words are actually measured, asr-005038 05:44:12.080 --> 05:44:14.880 DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G.

Chan: So, I believe that the Department of Education should really be supported, asr-005219 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. asr-005220 05:59:22.680 --> 05:59:24.680 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you.

Chan: So my first set of questions goes into the classrooms po. asr-005223 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, asr-005224 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. asr-005225 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. asr-005226 05:59:52.680 --> 05:59:59.680 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So for 2027, the target indicated is only 700 asr-005227 05:59:59.680 --> 06:00:02.240 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: classrooms. Meanwhile, asr-005228 06:00:02.480 --> 06:00:04.180 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: the basic education facilities fund asr-005229 06:00:04.180 --> 06:00:05.720 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: goes from around asr-005230 06:00:05.720 --> 06:00:07.460 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: 85.4 billion pesos asr-005231 06:00:07.460 --> 06:00:09.960 Rep.

Chan: pesos proposed for 2027. asr-005233 06:00:12.700 --> 06:00:12.980 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, asr-005234 06:00:13.700 --> 06:00:15.840 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: my question is simple. What happened asr-005235 06:00:15.840 --> 06:00:17.900 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: between the appropriation and the actual asr-005236 06:00:17.900 --> 06:00:20.040 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: classroom? Was there a bottleneck asr-005237 06:00:20.040 --> 06:00:20.460 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: between asr-005238 06:00:20.460 --> 06:00:24.020 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: in the procurement, land availability, asr-005239 06:00:24.520 --> 06:00:25.980 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: contractor performance releases, asr-005240 06:00:25.980 --> 06:00:27.360 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: or the implementing arrangement po? asr-005241 06:00:28.540 --> 06:00:29.800 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: For this year, asr-005242 06:00:30.000 --> 06:00:31.920 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: For this year or for 2025 ho? asr-005243 06:00:32.220 --> 06:00:33.900 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: For the following year po. asr-005244 06:00:34.540 --> 06:00:35.400 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: For next year ho? asr-005245 06:00:35.620 --> 06:00:37.900 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Yes po, for the proposal for 2027. asr-005246 06:00:38.460 --> 06:00:39.980 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: With the target being 700 asr-005247 06:00:39.980 --> 06:00:40.770 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: classrooms po. asr-005247-split-2 06:00:40.770 --> 06:00:42.240 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Ah, yung 700 is the completion ho. asr-005248 06:00:42.480 --> 06:00:44.120 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Those are the ones that are uncompleted asr-005249 06:00:44.120 --> 06:00:46.080 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: to be completed. But I think the target asr-005250 06:00:46.080 --> 06:00:47.740 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: is much larger than 700. asr-005251 06:00:48.120 --> 06:00:50.460 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's about at least 4,000 to 5,000 asr-005252 06:00:50.460 --> 06:00:51.430 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: classrooms, Your Honor. asr-005252-split-2 06:00:51.430 --> 06:00:52.520 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: 4,000 to 5,000? asr-005253 06:00:52.700 --> 06:00:54.340 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Yes. Out of how many, asr-005254 06:00:54.340 --> 06:00:55.340 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Mr. Secretary? asr-005255 06:00:56.020 --> 06:00:58.580 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: I'll just get the exact figure because the cost changes. asr-005256 06:00:58.860 --> 06:00:59.820 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: ... asr-005257 06:01:00.000 --> 06:01:02.000 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's based on the DBM at 2.5. asr-005258 06:01:02.820 --> 06:01:03.920 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yeah. If we use it on... asr-005259 06:01:03.920 --> 06:01:05.620 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Because the costing changes. asr-005260 06:01:05.960 --> 06:01:07.800 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Unfortunately, when the time when DBM asr-005261 06:01:07.800 --> 06:01:09.840 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: was crafting the NEP, asr-005262 06:01:10.380 --> 06:01:12.140 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the parameters have changed since then. asr-005263 06:01:12.220 --> 06:01:14.180 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: So, if you use a 2.5 million estimate asr-005264 06:01:14.180 --> 06:01:16.020 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: per classroom, we're talking about over asr-005265 06:01:16.020 --> 06:01:18.180 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 6,000 classrooms. But I think, as mentioned asr-005266 06:01:18.180 --> 06:01:20.360 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: earlier during earlier interpellations, asr-005267 06:01:20.720 --> 06:01:22.120 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: the cost now ranges from 3 to asr-005268 06:01:22.120 --> 06:01:24.160 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 3.5, Your Honor. So, that would asr-005269 06:01:24.160 --> 06:01:26.040 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: probably be about 5,000 plus asr-005270 06:01:26.040 --> 06:01:26.740 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: classrooms, Your Honor. asr-005271 06:01:27.220 --> 06:01:27.920 Rep.

Chan: So, Mr. Secretary, asr-005273 06:01:30.000 --> 06:01:31.180 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: based on your asr-005274 06:01:31.180 --> 06:01:34.020 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: proposal, would it be enough to fund asr-005275 06:01:34.020 --> 06:01:34.940 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: the 6,000 asr-005276 06:01:34.940 --> 06:01:36.440 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: classrooms? asr-005277 06:01:38.440 --> 06:01:39.000 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Baka hindi na po 6,000. asr-005278 06:01:39.860 --> 06:01:42.320 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: about 4,900 asr-005279 06:01:42.320 --> 06:01:44.140 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: on the optimistic side, asr-005280 06:01:44.280 --> 06:01:44.890 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Your Honor. asr-005280-split-2 06:01:44.890 --> 06:01:45.760 Rep.

Chan: So, for that, asr-005282 06:01:48.000 --> 06:01:49.520 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: how long would be the asr-005283 06:01:49.520 --> 06:01:51.940 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: timeline of the department asr-005284 06:01:51.940 --> 06:01:53.600 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: for the completion of those 6,000? asr-005285 06:01:54.180 --> 06:01:56.120 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Well, I think asr-005286 06:01:56.120 --> 06:01:58.060 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: from experience, a reasonable asr-005287 06:01:58.060 --> 06:01:59.920 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: expectation is maybe one and a half to two asr-005288 06:01:59.920 --> 06:02:01.120 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: years for asr-005289 06:02:01.120 --> 06:02:03.740 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: classrooms. But especially if it involves asr-005290 06:02:03.740 --> 06:02:05.040 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: demolition, perhaps a longer asr-005291 06:02:05.040 --> 06:02:06.680 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: time period, Your Honor. asr-005292 06:02:07.020 --> 06:02:09.900 Rep.

Chan: is the remaining to be completed? asr-005294 06:02:12.040 --> 06:02:12.400 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yes, sir. asr-005295 06:02:13.200 --> 06:02:15.880 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A.

and what makes us non-artificial is creativity and this type of asr-005510 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 asr-005511 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 asr-005512 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 asr-005513 06:14:49.940 -->

asr-005517 06:15:15.760 --> 06:15:25.280 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: are beautiful examples of uh a different era in terms of our creative architecture so i think asr-005518 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 asr-005519 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 asr-005520 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 asr-005521 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 asr-005523 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 asr-005524 06:16:01.100 --> 06:16:07.500 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: parts of the of the brain so yeah and then of course we have the philippine high school for asr-005525 06:16:07.500 -->

Zubiri: may i ask how did um last year what was our final ga budget for our aral program asr-005587 06:22:09.020 --> 06:22:11.830 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 8.9 billion uh your honor madam chair asr-005587-split-2 06:22:11.830 --> 06:22:14.860 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: and uh mr secretary madam chair may i ask also with asr-005588 06:22:14.860 --> 06:22:17.100 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: that 8.9 billion pesos, how many asr-005589 06:22:17.100 --> 06:22:18.940 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: students were we able to help asr-005590 06:22:18.940 --> 06:22:19.660 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: with our ARAL program? asr-005591 06:22:19.660 --> 06:22:20.940 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Uh, the coverage was asr-005592 06:22:21.420 --> 06:22:26.060 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 6.7 million learners your honor and the results were very encouraging because asr-005593 06:22:27.300 --> 06:22:28.880 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: 4.5 million asr-005594 06:22:28.880 --> 06:22:33.740 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Of those 6.7 million were able to upgrade their reading skills. They moved up to the next asr-005595 06:22:34.200 --> 06:22:38.660 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Reading level your honor and over 2 million were now reading at the right level asr-005596 06:22:38.660 --> 06:22:45.380 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 asr-005597 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 asr-005598 06:22:50.380 --> 06:22:52.700 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: especially if we fund it, especially if we asr-005599 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 asr-005600 06:22:58.760 --> 06:23:02.620 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: At saka 'yung tamang pag-intercept, no? Kasi pag masyadong asr-005601 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. asr-005601-split-2 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 asr-005602 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% asr-005603 06:23:13.240 --> 06:23:14.760 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: success rate asr-005604 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. asr-005604-split-2 06:23:18.500 --> 06:23:19.700 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: And now for this year asr-005605 06:23:19.700 --> 06:23:20.320 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: I understand asr-005606 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 asr-005607 06:23:27.240 --> 06:23:29.240 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: That's correct, ma'am. Yes asr-005608 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 asr-005609 06:23:35.760 --> 06:23:37.760 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: Not include this in there asr-005610 06:23:38.220 --> 06:23:41.480 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: These are these are congressional insertions your honor asr-005611 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 asr-005612 06:23:47.320 --> 06:23:49.480 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: NEP or national expenditure program asr-005613 06:23:50.320 --> 06:23:51.780 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Non asr-005614 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 asr-005615 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 asr-005616 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 asr-005617 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 asr-005618 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 asr-005619 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 asr-005620 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 asr-005621 06:24:28.640 --> 06:24:31.660 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: Doubling really and bringing up from 9 billion to 16 billion asr-005622 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 asr-005623 06:24:36.860 --> 06:24:38.720 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: our RL program asr-005624 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 asr-005625 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 asr-005626 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 asr-005627 06:24:54.580 --> 06:24:56.790 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you for putting it that way your honor asr-005627-split-2 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 asr-005628 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 asr-005629 06:25:08.900 --> 06:25:14.740 Rep.

Barns: nep for next year and that is because the dbm are allowing us to continue investing in our asr-005652 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 asr-005653 06:26:54.820 --> 06:27:03.540 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 asr-005655 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 asr-005656 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 asr-005657 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 asr-005658 06:27:31.460 --> 06:27:33.330 National Museum Director-General Jeremy R.

Zubiri: i would understand that because how can we open these museums if we asr-005659 06:27:36.340 --> 06:27:38.190 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: don't have the proper staff for it no asr-005659-split-2 06:27:38.190 --> 06:27:41.220 National Museum Director-General Jeremy R.

Zubiri: yes and what about the exhibition no i mean asr-005667 06:28:31.010 --> 06:28:35.330 Rep. Audrey Kay T.

Zubiri: the exhibitions you're going to be having asr-005668-split-2 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 asr-005669 06:28:40.610 --> 06:28:42.770 National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: complete the infrastructure of these museums asr-005671 06:28:42.850 --> 06:28:43.990 National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: one by one. asr-005672 06:28:43.990 --> 06:28:45.730 National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: We then move on to the next stage, asr-005673 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 asr-005674 06:28:48.470 --> 06:28:50.770 National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: exhibitions. asr-005675 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 asr-005676 06:28:54.430 --> 06:28:55.850 National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: for next year. asr-005677 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 asr-005678 06:28:59.830 --> 06:29:02.710 National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: on the wish list. asr-005679 06:29:02.710 --> 06:29:05.170 National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns: And just to anticipate the question, asr-005680 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. asr-005681 06:29:12.730 --> 06:29:16.390 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: Well, Mr. Barnes, I'm glad you're telling us this, asr-005682 06:29:16.390 --> 06:29:18.370 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: because I think this is worth considering. asr-005683 06:29:18.370 --> 06:29:21.110 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: Because if we continue with building these museums, asr-005684 06:29:21.110 --> 06:29:23.150 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: but we don't have a staff to man them, asr-005685 06:29:23.150 --> 06:29:25.490 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: we don't have exhibitions for people to see, asr-005686 06:29:25.490 --> 06:29:28.430 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: we're going to end up with white elephants. asr-005687 06:29:28.430 --> 06:29:31.230 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: And we'll end up having wasted a lot of money. asr-005688 06:29:31.230 --> 06:29:34.210 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: In contrast, if we invest a little extra, asr-005689 06:29:34.210 --> 06:29:36.970 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: then we bring so much culture to our people. asr-005690 06:29:36.970 --> 06:29:40.750 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: And we're able to really keep alive our traditions, asr-005691 06:29:40.750 --> 06:29:41.590 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: which we need. asr-005692 06:29:41.590 --> 06:29:42.470 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: I think. asr-005693 06:29:42.470 --> 06:29:44.270 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: We all agree that education should not asr-005694 06:29:44.270 --> 06:29:45.950 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: be limited just to academic, but should also asr-005695 06:29:45.950 --> 06:29:47.570 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: include our heritage. asr-005696 06:29:47.570 --> 06:29:51.470 Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri: So we will work on supporting our national museum. asr-005697 06:29:51.470 --> 06:29:55.370 Rep. Audrey Kay T.

Suansing: this was something that we were discussing uh over the past couple of minutes i was looking asr-005730 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 asr-005731 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 asr-005732 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 asr-005733 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 asr-005734 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 asr-005735 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 asr-005736 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 asr-005737 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 asr-005738 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 asr-005739 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 asr-005740 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 asr-005741 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 asr-005742 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 asr-005743 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 asr-005744 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 asr-005745 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 asr-005746 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 asr-005747 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 asr-005748 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 asr-005749 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 asr-005750 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 asr-005751 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 asr-005752 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 asr-005753 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 asr-005754 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 asr-005755 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 asr-005756 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 asr-005757 06:36:49.100 --> 06:36:52.780 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: school year and uh i think well documented is the fact that asr-005758 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 asr-005759 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 asr-005760 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 asr-005761 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 asr-005762 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 asr-005763 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 asr-005764 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 asr-005765 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. asr-005765-split-2 06:37:46.160 --> 06:37:48.700 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sec, one of the concerns which we asr-005766 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 asr-005767 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 asr-005768 06:37:59.980 --> 06:38:02.540 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: utilization rate for the school-based feeding program i think asr-005769 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 asr-005770 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 asr-005771 06:38:15.740 --> 06:38:19.320 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the 26 billion in the 2026 GAA. asr-005771-split-2 06:38:19.320 --> 06:38:22.860 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Thank you, Madam Chair. We're currently at 45.8 percent asr-005772 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 asr-005773 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 asr-005774 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 asr-005775 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 asr-005776 06:38:51.020 --> 06:38:53.350 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: how to utilize the funds asr-005776-split-2 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 asr-005777 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 asr-005778 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 asr-005779 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 asr-005780 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 asr-005781 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 asr-005782 06:39:30.700 --> 06:39:31.580 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of students asr-005783 06:39:32.540 --> 06:39:34.540 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Um, gaano kalaki po 'yung asr-005784 06:39:34.540 --> 06:39:38.440 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: deficit we're seeing here? asr-005784-split-2 06:39:38.440 --> 06:39:41.740 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: It's a smaller one, Your Honor. You're only talking about asr-005784-split-3 06:39:41.740 --> 06:39:45.260 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 983.8. asr-005785 06:39:45.260 --> 06:39:48.050 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But that includes SNED, madrasah. asr-005785-split-2 06:39:48.050 --> 06:39:48.860 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: Yeah, asr-005785-split-3 06:39:48.860 --> 06:39:50.170 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: IPED, multigrade. asr-005785-split-4 06:39:50.170 --> 06:39:54.940 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: You're short about 190 million to asr-005786 06:39:54.940 --> 06:39:58.100 DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara: reach the 2026 levels, Your Honor. It's not a huge amount. asr-005786-split-2 06:39:58.100 --> 06:40:00.860 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And then for ARAL po, Sec. Sonny, I believe asr-005787 06:40:00.860 --> 06:40:01.740 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: like last year asr-005788 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]. asr-005789 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 asr-005790 06:40:20.300 --> 06:40:25.760 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: restore the funding for aral asr-005790-split-2 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 asr-005791 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 asr-005792 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 asr-005793 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 asr-005794 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 asr-005795 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 asr-005796 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 asr-005797 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 asr-005798 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 asr-005799 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 asr-005800 06:41:29.010 --> 06:41:35.090 Rep. Mikaela Angela B.
