288
00:19:03,380 --> 00:19:08,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: whose budget increases are on their personnel services, because of the new positions created

289
00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:14,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and or filled up. It is also important to note that pursuant to Executive Order 123 issued on

290
00:19:14,780 --> 00:19:22,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: August 18, 2026, the NAPC and the PCUP have been placed under the administrative supervision of

291
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the Office of the President. Accordingly, while

292
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: their Fiscal Year 2027 budget figures are reflected in this

293
00:19:29,260 --> 00:19:35,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: presentation, these two agencies are no longer under the administrative supervision of DSWD.

294
00:19:35,580 --> 00:19:40,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Looking at the budget by expenditure classification, the bulk of the budget remains

295
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:45,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: primarily directed towards delivery of programs and services to our beneficiaries. Generally,

296
00:19:45,820 --> 00:19:51,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the operating budgets of all the offices for 2027 are lower than 2026. As mentioned,

297
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:55,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the increases pertain to the filling up of plantille position, which is very important for the

298
00:19:55,080 --> 00:20:01,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: positions authorized by the DBM. Except for the DSWD, which was granted capital outlay for five

299
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:06,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: centers and residential care facilities in year three implementation of a learning institute in

300
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:14,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Davao and a warehouse in Iliilo, the DSWD has no capital outlay for 2027. We now proceed to the

301
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:20,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: major PAPs. We will provide you with their performance and accomplishments and report to

302
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the members of this August subcommittee what we're doing to further improve service delivery.

303
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For the protective services for individuals and families in different circumstances,

304
00:20:29,540 --> 00:20:34,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the bulk of the budget pertains to the assistance to individuals and families in crisis situation

305
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:43,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or AICs. Although there are also community-based protective social welfare programs that we

306
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:49,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: implement to different vulnerable and marginalized sectors. For fiscal year 2025, we have already

307
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:54,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: utilized 100 percent of the budget which enabled the program to assist more than 9.4 million

308
00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:01,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: beneficiaries for the year. For 2026, budget utilization is on track at almost 70 percent

309
00:21:01,740 --> 00:21:10,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of the allotment utilizing all its cash programming in real time, serving 4.24 million beneficiaries so

310
00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:18,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: far. For fiscal year 2027, the proposed allocation is 33.3 billion consisting of 29.4 billion in

311
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:24,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: subsidies. Given the demand-driven nature of the program, the NEP amount may not be

312
00:21:24,860 --> 00:21:30,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: enough to achieve the same level of performance for the past two years. We have informed our

313
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: budget sponsor about this matter and we have included also in our letter to the honorable

314
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: chair of the appropriations committee. Mr. Chair, in a bit, when we get into the discussions,

315
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:46,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we will show you a presentation that will show the adverse effect of this budget decline for the

316
00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:52,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: assistance to individuals in crisis situation and the potential displacements of beneficiaries for

317
00:21:52,740 --> 00:21:54,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: medical and other social welfare programs.

318
00:21:54,860 --> 00:22:00,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Your honors, it is given that AICS continues to fulfill its core mandate by providing a

319
00:22:00,740 --> 00:22:06,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: comprehensive menu of assistance to individuals and families in crisis situations. But beyond

320
00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:13,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: individual emergencies, AICS now serves as our primary tool for adaptive and shock responsive

321
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:18,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: social protection, allowing us to quickly act in cases of shocks which impact groups,

322
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:23,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: families or communities at risk. In response to the national energy emergency declared

323
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:24,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: by the president,

324
00:22:24,860 --> 00:22:32,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: AICS is at the forefront and is in the front and center of the whole of government intervention under the Uplift program.

325
00:22:32,980 --> 00:22:40,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Through AICS, the government was able to put into motion interventions using three mechanisms under the adaptive and shock-responsive social protection.

326
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: When the government needed to question impact of the Middle East crisis to our transport sector,

327
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:54,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the DSWD rolled out the cash relief assistance to drivers affected by the sudden increase in fuel prices as an emergency scheme.

328
00:22:54,060 --> 00:23:04,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Under this mechanism, we adopted a group-based assessment supported through identification, validation, and endorsement by relevant authorities or partner agencies.

329
00:23:05,180 --> 00:23:10,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: This assistance helped 1.839 million transport workers nationwide.

330
00:23:11,580 --> 00:23:17,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: A rapid assessment by the SWS Commission by the Australia Spring Programme

331
00:23:17,060 --> 00:23:22,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: confirms that our cash relief assistance delivered immediate, decisive, impactful, and overwhelming

332
00:23:22,980 --> 00:23:23,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: with

333
00:23:24,060 --> 00:23:33,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: an overwhelming 96% of transport workers reporting that the 5,000 grant was operationally crucial in keeping them on the road,

334
00:23:33,420 --> 00:23:38,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: with 80% using the aid to cover essential household food expenses during the emergency.

335
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:46,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Then the Uplift Committee chaired by the President decided to have a strategic pivot from individual-based to household-based assistance.

336
00:23:46,740 --> 00:23:54,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Through the Uplift under AICS, vertical expansion is implemented by top-up grants to help compensate for the diminished value of the

337
00:23:54,060 --> 00:23:56,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: grants or subsidy being received by

338
00:23:56,300 --> 00:24:04,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: existing beneficiaries of social protection programs. Through horizontal expansion, we extended financial assistance to households that were not previously covered by

339
00:24:04,980 --> 00:24:10,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: existing programs but became vulnerable because of the shock. To accomplish this,

340
00:24:10,060 --> 00:24:15,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we used the CBMS data to locate the poor, near-poor,

341
00:24:15,820 --> 00:24:19,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and low-income and provide monthly assistance to them.

342
00:24:19,110 --> 00:24:21,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: As of today, we have provided

343
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Uplift assistance to

344
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 5.75

345
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: million households.

346
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We now come to the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, or 4Ps, which remains

347
00:24:29,260 --> 00:24:35,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the country's flagship investment in human capital development. For fiscal year 2025, the program had

348
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:44,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: an allotment of 63.7 billion, of which 63.4 billion, or 99.53 percent, was utilized. We were able to pay

349
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the conditional cash grants of 3.9 million beneficiaries, which are due for payments that

350
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:57,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: year. For fiscal year 2026, the program has an allotment of 112.9 billion, including 98.3 billion

351
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:03,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for grants, since the conditional grants are paid according to scheduled pay periods. We are on track

352
00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:10,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in terms of obligation and disbursement. For fiscal year 2027, the 4Ps budget is at 99.1 billion,

353
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:17,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of which 81.3 billion will be for conditional cash grants and 3.5 million for 3.5 million

354
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: beneficiaries. The 3.5 million

355
00:25:19,780 --> 00:25:19,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: total

356
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:25,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: target reflects our continuing effort to ensure that 4Ps resources are focused on poor and near

357
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:30,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: poor households identified through the latest available poverty data, while maintaining the

358
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:36,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: program's core investments in health, education, and family development. Beyond the budget utilization,

359
00:25:36,380 --> 00:25:42,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the more important measure for 4Ps is its lifelong impact on lives of beneficiary households. From

360
00:25:42,740 --> 00:25:49,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 2022 to July 2026, 4Ps has delivered a significant transformative outcome across households' self-sufficiency,

392
00:28:57,220 --> 00:29:02,260

393
00:29:02,260 --> 00:29:08,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: basic unit of intervention and enforcing a three child limit sheet three children limitation per

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: beneficiary

396
00:29:14,900 --> 00:29:20,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: this year we utilize psa's data of poor and near poor households derived from cbms

397
00:29:20,100 --> 00:29:25,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as a basis for entry to the program ensuring the consistency of program intake with the

398
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:31,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: poverty statistics this explains the adjustment in our physical targets shifting from 4.4 which

399
00:29:31,540 --> 00:29:38,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: has remained unchanged since 2014 to 3.5 million household i want to emphasize that this 3.5

400
00:29:38,420 --> 00:29:44,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: million household target is not a reduction in support rather it is a realistic number

403
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:59,780

405
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: statutory program guidelines under the four-piece program.

406
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:14,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: However, our analysis of the 2024 CBMS data and the household data shows that the economic

407
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:19,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: circumstances of these families derived from PSA CBMS data are highly dynamic.

408
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:24,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Based on validation on the ground, only around 50% of CBMS-identified poor and near-poor

409
00:30:24,780 --> 00:30:29,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: are successfully registered into the program because either they cannot be located anymore

410
00:30:29,180 --> 00:30:33,080

411
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:38,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We met with PSA yesterday to bring to their attention as well that the DSWD has exhausted

00:30:38,580 --> 00:30:44,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the list of poor and near-poor, which is at 10% above the poverty threshold.

413
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:49,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It is high time to revisit the statistical definition of the near-poor so that it is

445
00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:13,280

446
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:18,120

449
00:33:27,260 --> 00:33:32,600

450
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:37,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: serve as many older persons using our allotment of 51 billion pesos.

457
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: fairer and more responsive to older persons.

458
00:34:09,020 --> 00:34:13,340

459
00:34:13,340 --> 00:34:16,440

460
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:21,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We recognize that older persons already face multiple vulnerabilities because of age.

461
00:34:21,580 --> 00:34:26,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we no longer require them to provide that they are frail or sickly to qualify.

462
00:34:26,820 --> 00:34:32,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: issued a memorandum circular where eligibility centers on a simple proof of age wherever they

467
00:34:58,660 --> 00:35:04,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: this is our default process but we found many eligible older persons were still not

468
00:35:04,580 --> 00:35:10,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we're still being missed so under a new policy we introduce an on-demand application including

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: referrals from lgus for those 70 years old and above if you belong to that age category and you

470
00:35:16,580 --> 00:35:21,940

488
00:37:05,780 --> 00:37:11,700

489
00:37:11,700 --> 00:37:16,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: through the pagsibol program where we are looking at livelihood development over a longer horizon

490
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:21,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: with a sustainability plan instead of providing assistance and ending the engagement after the

491
00:37:21,620 --> 00:37:23,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: initial intervention this is an important step in achieving a sustainable livelihood program because

492
00:37:23,620 --> 00:37:29,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: This allows us to ensure that government resources are invested in enterprises that have potential

493

499
00:37:56,300 --> 00:37:59,080

500
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:05,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The objective is to move SLP from one-time livelihood assistance to sustained enterprise

501
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:10,900

511
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Our challenge is to ensure that our facilities remain safe, appropriate, accessible, and

512
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:00,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: capable of delivering quality social welfare services.

513
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: While we continue to provide socialized care to clients, we also need to address the capacity

514
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:09,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and infrastructure constraints of our residential care and center-based facilities.

515

519
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,400

520
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: This highlights the need to continuously invest in the facilities where our clients receive

521
00:39:30,980 --> 00:39:31,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: care.

522
00:39:31,980 --> 00:39:36,920

523
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:41,840

524
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:46,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: private residential-based social welfare agencies.

525

526
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:57,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: partners while continuing to support the regular upkeep and improvement of DSWD facilities.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Mr. Chair at magandang

635
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: umaga po sa DSWD family.

636
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:40,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: According to the NCDA, there are 2.8 million Filipinos registered as PWDs.

637
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:45,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kaya nakapagtataka po na nangalahati ang budget ng NCDA

638
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:55,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: from 187 million in the 2026 GAA to a mere 91 million in the 2027 NEP.

639
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: If we're going to do the math, that's

640
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: only Php32 per PWD. Inuulit ko

641
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:06,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: po, ang investment ng gobyerno sa darating na 2027, kung

642
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ang basihan po ay NEP,

643
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: is only ₱32 per PWD.

644
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ang tanong po ng marami, bakit

645
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: parang discounted ang budget para sa PWD?

646
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:24,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ano po ba ang dahilan at ah nabawasan na ganito kalaki ang budget ng ating NCDA?

647
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Mr. Chair,

648
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, una po sa lahat,

649
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:33,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: syempre gusto ho namin na sana maibalik yung nawalang budget sa NCDA

650
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: which is an attach agency. Pero

651
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: gusto ko lang pong linawin na hindi naman ho ibig sabihin na nabawasan ang tulong at suporta ng

652
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pamalaan sa ating mga may Kapansanan.

653
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:45,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sa katunayan, malaking bahagi ho ng budget ng mother department

654
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:50,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: itself goes through financial assistance through the program for people with disability.

655
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung mga innovation programs namin, yung mga bagong programa katulad ng Project

656
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:59,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Aruga are also geared towards people with disabilities and their families.

657
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we will provide the committee a disaggregated

658
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: data based on the mother department spending on people with disability.

659
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:09,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we would like to assure the good representation na hindi ho nababawasan.

660
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ngayon ho pag titignan natin yung mandate kasi ng

661
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: NCDA they were really tasked to

662
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: one do policies for people with disabilities

663
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to to capacitate local government units kasi

664
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: devolved po. LGUs have PDAO offices

665
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or people with the disability affairs offices.

666
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yun ho yung mga implementing arm.

667
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So yung mga budget n nakabukod

668
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: now itong nawalang budget na to ay capital expenditure.

669
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:38,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nakalagay po iyan sa libro ng NCDA to provide IT equipment to the different PDAO

670
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:42,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: offices. Kasi alam natin may mga PDAO offices na maliliit ang LGU

671
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at walang kapasidad na mag bumili ng kanilang mga gamit.

672
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So yun ho yung na walang suporta kasi non-recurring

673
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: po siya. Pero pagdating ho naman sa direct grants and subsidies,

674
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:52,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: wala

675
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ho niyan direct masyado sa NCDA.

676
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Lahat ho yan nasa mother department.

677
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: What I would like to point out

678
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:02,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: also na sa NCDA na nanatili ho yung mga core programs niya

679
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for instance it's new program on getting

680
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:09,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: working with development pediatricians to

681
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: go to the farthest communities to

682
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: provide free uh um free assessments so

683
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that may assessment path yung mga

684
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kababayan nating mahihirap na nahihirapan

685
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kumuha ng assessment dahil napakahaba

686
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng mga pila sa mga hospital

687
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:24,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na may dev peds.

688
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: so ang amin lang ho doon

689
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: bagamat't gusto naming maibalik

690
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ah gusto lang ho rin namin linawin na

691

764
00:52:30,770 --> 00:52:32,770

791
00:53:11,770 --> 00:53:12,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At katulad

792
00:53:12,770 --> 00:53:13,770

00:59:49,770 --> 00:59:50,770
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: po talaga i-adjust

1163
00:59:50,770 --> 00:59:51,770
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: natin. Again,

1164
00:59:51,770 --> 00:59:52,770
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: the budget is the

1165
00:59:52,770 --> 00:59:53,770
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: most concrete expression

1166
00:59:53,770 --> 00:59:54,770
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: of our priorities.

1167
00:59:54,770 --> 00:59:55,770
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Wala pong

1168
00:59:55,770 --> 00:59:56,770
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: budget para diyan. Ibig

1169
00:59:56,770 --> 00:59:57,770
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: sabihin hindi

1170
00:59:57,770 --> 00:59:58,770
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: nagke-care ang gobyerno.

1171
00:59:58,770 --> 00:59:59,770
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Marami pong salamat.

1172
01:00:00,850 --> 01:00:16,300
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you. Thank you, Cong Perci. Ayusin mo nga. Kunin mo nga pabalik. All your observations were duly noted. We now recognize Representative Jam Baronda.

1173
01:00:19,740 --> 01:00:25,650
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. Before I proceed, I would like to thank, of course,

1174
01:00:25,650 --> 01:00:35,570
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Secretary Rex Gatchalian for his exemplary leadership in leading the department. Mr. Secretary,

1175
01:00:35,570 --> 01:00:43,250
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: I would just like to ask regarding the Uplift program of the government. We base our

1176
01:00:44,290 --> 01:00:50,530
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: beneficiaries on the CBMS program. May I ask for the total CBMS beneficiaries of the country?

1177
01:00:53,010 --> 01:00:53,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Madam Chair,

1178
01:00:55,650 --> 01:01:01,170
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi, we don't have access to it kasi ang binibigay lang sa amin yung poor and near poor. We can give you the poor and near poor.

1179
01:01:05,490 --> 01:01:10,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: May data privacy rules; mahigpit ang PSA doon.

1180
01:01:10,060 --> 01:01:17,810
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So based po doon sa resulta nila, 2024 po ba na PSA?

1181
01:01:20,530 --> 01:01:21,970
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 2023, 2024.

1182
01:01:25,650 --> 01:01:40,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang 2024 na poor data natin, 2,546,846 households ang classified as poor, plus 20% above the threshold. So yung near poor kasama po diyan.

1183
01:01:42,540 --> 01:01:48,840
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So sa ngayon po, based on sa tala ninyo, ilan na po yung nabigyan ninyo ng cash assistance for Uplift?

1184
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:55,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi ho, ma'am, kung matatandaan ninyo, Uplift has three different buckets. So we gave, in my opening remarks we said close to

1185
01:01:55,060 --> 01:01:55,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: six million.

1186
01:01:57,220 --> 01:02:03,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tatlong bucket 'yon. Unang bucket noon is a top-up sa 4Ps beneficiaries natin. That's around three

1187
01:02:03,220 --> 01:02:04,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: million household

1188
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,590
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: yes

1189
01:02:06,590 --> 01:02:11,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 3.5 million household one time lang huyon they all got two thousand pesos

1190
01:02:11,700 --> 01:02:19,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: one time. The second bucket, ito ho yung mga wala sa 4Ps pero categorized as mahihirap rin sila.

1191
01:02:19,220 --> 01:02:25,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sa 2.5 million ang target diyan. Ang na-service na natin, 1.7 million,

1192
01:02:27,220 --> 01:02:31,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng tig-₱2,000 kada buwan mula July hanggang December.

1193
01:02:32,340 --> 01:02:34,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Let me explain the gap po, if you'll allow me.

1194
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:38,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The gap here, Madam, Mr. Chair, kaya may gap to.

1195
01:02:38,900 --> 01:02:44,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: From our manual payout, if you can recall kasi the first round is manual for validation.

1196
01:02:44,980 --> 01:02:49,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Despite the fact na hinanap namin sila, una tulad na nabanggit ko, wala na doon yung mga nakatira.

1197
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:54,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pangalawa, iba na i-invalidate dahil after two years, gumanda na yung mga buhay,

1198
01:02:54,340 --> 01:02:58,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi na sila nagkakwalify, so they're waiving the rights or the social workers are saying,

1199
01:02:58,820 --> 01:03:00,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: wag na kasi gumanda na ho yung buhay.

1200
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:08,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now, there's a last category na hindi uma-appear sa poor and near poor because these are above minimum wage.

1201
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: They're called low wage earners ng SSS.

1202
01:03:11,580 --> 01:03:13,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sa database po ito ng SSS kinuwa.

1203
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi sila poor, hindi rin sila near poor.

1204
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:22,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So there's around 1.5 million sa kanila of which we've catered to 811,000.

1205
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now, bakit ho may gap?

1206
01:03:24,340 --> 01:03:31,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung mga basic deposit accounts nila based on SSS, kasi automated ho ito, non-existent na.

1207
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:31,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: They're dormant.

1208
01:03:31,980 --> 01:03:36,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nasa listahan ng SSS, pero yung mga accounts either closed na or dormant na.

1209
01:03:37,260 --> 01:03:46,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So total of what we've serviced so far is at around 5.5, 5.7 million of the 7.5 na target.

1210
01:03:47,300 --> 01:03:49,300
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Mr. Secretary, ito kasi 'yon.

1211
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:54,320
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: In my district, during my collaboration meeting with your department,

1212
01:03:54,340 --> 01:03:57,560
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: iba ang nasasabi ng figure ni PSA.

1213
01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:59,740
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Iba din sa DSWD.

1214
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:01,980
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So, parang meron talagang disparity.

1215
01:04:01,980 --> 01:04:02,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ako na, ako na, ako na.

1216
01:04:03,380 --> 01:04:04,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, wala nang—

1217
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:08,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, babatukan ko yung regional director ninyo eh.

1218
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:10,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nandyan sa likod eh.

1219
01:04:10,740 --> 01:04:12,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Wala nang data ang DSWD.

1220
01:04:13,060 --> 01:04:15,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If you can recall, Listahanan is [unclear].

1221
01:04:16,180 --> 01:04:16,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi na hindi kami...

1222
01:04:16,460 --> 01:04:16,660
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So, mali.

1223
01:04:17,340 --> 01:04:18,700
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Please correct me.

1224
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:19,940
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Hindi po ganun.

1225
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,160
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Iba yung sinasabi ni PSA.

1226
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:24,220
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Tapos yung time na

1227
01:04:24,220 --> 01:04:32,640
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: mag-payout si DSWD, there are beneficiaries na nung na-check ng DSWD, hindi qualified.

1228
01:04:33,100 --> 01:04:34,760
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So, tama naman si RD.

1229
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:35,740
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Sorry ah.

1230
01:04:35,740 --> 01:04:37,320
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So, huwag mong batukan.

1231
01:04:37,620 --> 01:04:39,120
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Kinagawa niya lang yung trabaho niya.

1232
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:45,240
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Ang point is, it's good that meron tayong check and balance.

1233
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:49,040
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: But the thing is, parang duplication of work.

1234
01:04:49,460 --> 01:04:52,740
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Sino ba talagang in charge of social services natin?

1235
01:04:52,740 --> 01:04:53,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Si PSA ba?

1236
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:55,000
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Or si DSWD?

1237
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:56,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Okay, let's go back to listahanan.

1238
01:04:57,620 --> 01:05:00,300
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: I have very bad experience kasi with listahanan.

1239
01:05:00,900 --> 01:05:06,000
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: During my first term as Congresswoman in 2019, may lista po si Listahanan.

1240
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:12,520
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Unfortunately, in March 17, 2020, nagkaroon ng lockdown because of COVID pandemic.

1241
01:05:12,660 --> 01:05:13,080
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Hindi na tapos.

1242
01:05:13,100 --> 01:05:19,740
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So yung una naming reaksyon is we want Sustainable Livelihood Program of DSWD.

1243
01:05:19,740 --> 01:05:22,960
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: We list down 230 members.

1244
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:32,120
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Nagka problema na nawala na ng trabaho or yung mga negosyo nila, nagka problema na.

1245
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:35,300
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: In short, we list down 230 beneficiaries.

1246
01:05:35,900 --> 01:05:47,020
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Nung chineck po ng DSWD sa Listahanan, of the 223, yung qualified lang po are 157 that time.

1247
01:05:47,020 --> 01:05:51,700
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So, nagkaroon ng more than 70 na mga beneficiary na hindi na qualified.

1248
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:53,020
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So, no?

1249
01:05:53,600 --> 01:06:01,860
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Dahil ang basis nila 2019, nagka problema kami doon sa bigayan ng cash assistance for SLP.

1250
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,440
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So, there were like 70 na hindi qualified.

1251
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:11,720
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So, yun po yung problema natin, Mr. Secretary, kung meron kayong safety nets na i-base nyo on the situation,

1252
01:06:12,340 --> 01:06:17,640
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: like for example, sa nangyari ng 2019 and 2021 na listahanan.

1253
01:06:17,980 --> 01:06:22,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, una ho, biro lang 'yon. Love na love namin yung RD niya.

1254
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:22,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we don't...

1255
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: There's no violence in the department. We like RD Tolits.

1256
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:32,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, isa-isahin ko. Loaded ho kasi yung question, but allow me to expound further.

1257
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:35,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Una ko, listahanan was the main database of the government.

1258
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:41,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But because of the law, the CBMS law that this house and the upper house passed, wala nang listahanan.

1259
01:06:42,460 --> 01:06:45,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Unfortunately, listahanan na nire-refer nyo, just pabalik tanaw ko lang,

1260
01:06:45,860 --> 01:06:49,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nung dumating rin ako, it was a chaotic listahanan, not because the department was at fault,

1261
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:53,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but because hindi natapos yung survey ng listahanan because COVID.

1262
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:58,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So they launched a listahanan because it was required from us to do so,

1263
01:06:58,260 --> 01:07:02,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or else wala tayong database kahit na hindi siya fully natapos dahil sa COVID.

1264
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:03,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Unforeseen circumstance.

1265
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But that's behind us because wala nang listahanan. Bawal na ho yun.

1266
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:10,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: No government agency can craft a new database.

1267
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ayon sa batas, lahat kami ang gagamitin na namin CBMS.

1268
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So ma'am, the first question, kami ang in-charge sa implementation,

1269
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:23,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but the targeting in the list comes from PSA using CBMS.

1270
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:26,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: DepDev at PSA, anak ho nila 'yon.

1271
01:07:26,100 --> 01:07:32,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number two, not that I am going to, not that I am lawyering for PSA,

1272
01:07:32,100 --> 01:07:36,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but ma'am, alam rin po natin from our own experience, there is no perfect list.

1273
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:42,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Merong 20 to 30% na exclusion, inclusion error.

1274
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:48,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero unfortunately, from the ground, tama ho kayo, Mr. Chair, tama ang ating buting congresswoman,

1275
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:53,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: etong CBMS na to, medyo napakalaki ng exclusion at inclusion.

1276
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:54,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Napakalaki.

1277
01:07:54,600 --> 01:08:00,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kaya nga ho, kung matatandaan nyo, lagi ho kami tinatanong, ba't ayaw namin gawing automated yung payout.

1278
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:03,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Dahil nga, we need to do the validation on the ground.

1279
01:08:03,100 --> 01:08:09,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: As the good Congresswoman pointed out, DSWD is tasked to safeguard the money that we have,

1280
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na makarating yon sa nangangailangan.

1281
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:13,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi dun sa hindi nangangailangan.

1282
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:19,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So ang nangyayari, tama ho si Congresswoman, pagbigay ho sa amin ang CBMS list, we validate it.

1283
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:21,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's why nagmamanual ho kami.

1284
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:23,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Dahil sa manual process namin nakikita,

1285
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: totoong tao pa ba to?

1286
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:26,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Buhay pa ba siya?

1287
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:27,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nandun pa ba siya?

1288
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Gumanda na ba yung buhay?

1289
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi remember, CBMS was done 2024.

1290
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're now doing 2026.

1291
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: May iba diyan, gumanda na yung buhay.

1292
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:39,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nakapag-abroad at nagkaroon ng negosyo.

1293
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:41,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So that's my answer.

1294
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:45,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The short and easy of it, unfortunately, we have taken this up with PSA and NEDA,

1295
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:49,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and they promised to tighten the next CBMS round next year.

1296
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kausap lang namin sila kahapon.

1297
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:52,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi sinasabi nga namin,

1298
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:56,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na nahihirapan kami dun sa listahan kasi kami ang sinasabugan.

1299
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:58,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kami lagi ang pinuputukan.

1300
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:00,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Akala ng tao, nagdadamot kami,

1301
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:03,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or akala ng tao, mali yung targeting namin.

1302
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kung listahanan yan, by all means, we would accept it.

1303
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero hindi kasi kami ang nagtarget neto.

1304
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:10,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But to the same degree, Mr. Chair,

1305
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I come from the ranks of the local government unit.

1306
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:18,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Our LGUs are also tasked to work closely with the PSA in rolling out the CBMS.

1307
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So next year, meron tayong bagong CBMS.

1308
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hopefully, maggamot na tong mga issues na to.

1309
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:26,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Another case in point, Mr. Chairman,

1310
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:30,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we've also fixed the SLP issue that plagued that program.

1311
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:34,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kaya nga, kung titignan nyo, ngayon, mas mabilis kami gumamit ng SLP.

1312
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:39,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Because nga, one, we are no longer saying na yun na lang, yung listahan na lang.

1313
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:43,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: When we joined the department, we scrapped the hole na dapat sa listahanan kinukuha.

1314
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We do the field or manual validation on the ground.

1315
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:50,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kaya nga, bottom line, lagi kami tinatarong bakit nagbamanual kami.

1316
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:54,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi dahil trip lang hoon namin or dahil gusto namin pahirapan ng tao.

1317
01:09:54,600 --> 01:10:03,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kundi 'yon lang ang only means namin in trying to make sure na yung pera ng taong-bayan ay napupunta sa tamang benepisyaryo.

1318
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:05,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Thank you so much, Mr. Secretary.

1319
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:12,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: It's different talaga pag nag-local, nag-congress ka din.

1320
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So you're really the right man for this job.

1321
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:19,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: And if I were to ask you, sa tingin mo ba lahat ng

1322
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:25,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: CBMS na listahan po ngayon ay hindi tama?

1323
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:32,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Kasi sa nakikita ko, based in my district, sa Iloilo City especially, mga 27% ang difference.

1324
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:38,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So sayang pa rin yung 27% na katao na pwede sana mag-avail ng programa.

1325
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So let's take it as a national perspective.

1326
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:45,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Tama ba yung CBMS na resulta nila based sa 2027?

1327
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:49,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Because when I asked my collaboration meeting with the region,

1328
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:57,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: ang sabi nila we did ask for the support of the barangay officials sa ganitong pag-gather ng data ng CBMS.

1329
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:06,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, and I've said this so many times, nung pinatawag ho kami ng special committee ni Chairman Quimbo,

1330
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:10,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sinabi na rin namin na nahihirapan kami dun sa CBMS.

1331
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Napakalaki ng inclusion at exclusion.

1332
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:15,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I think it's more than 30%.

1333
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:17,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tansya namin sa sarili namin.

1334
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:18,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Close to 40%.

1335
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:20,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Close to 40%.

1336
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:21,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Why?

1337
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:26,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang average uplift na uptake ngayon is only at 60% or 55%.

1338
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meaning maraming nawawala.

1339
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mas malaki ho sa 35%.

1340
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:35,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we raised the alarm already and we told the dep-dev about this.

1341
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:42,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I personally spoke to Secretary Balisacan and they made a promise to tighten also the implementation of CBMS next year.

1342
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:44,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yesterday I was with Usec Mapa. I don't mean

1343
01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:46,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I don't mean to speak ill of them.

1344
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:53,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: what I've already said before in this House, as well as what I told them numerous times na nagpunta po ako.

1345
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:54,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Thank you, good secretary.

1346
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:56,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: I know you'll be there to be on top of everything.

1347
01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:04,600
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: So again, Mr. Chair, before I end, can you allow me to show a little, like 30 minutes—30 seconds of my video?

1348
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:13,290
Presentation video: [unclear] nagkaroon ng biglaang krisis sa buhay. Ang layon ng programa ng DSWD na AICS.

1350

1351
01:12:19,290 --> 01:12:26,290
Presentation video: na ibinigay sa kanilang tulong pinansyal, pilit kunin yung ₱8,000 hanggang ₱9,000.

1352
01:12:26,290 --> 01:12:31,290
Presentation video: Sa Iloilo City, inireklamo naman ang pangungupit daw sa ipinamahaging

1353
01:12:31,290 --> 01:12:36,290
Presentation video: ayuda mula sa ₱10,000 na dapat matanggap ng mga benepisyaryo.

1354
01:12:36,290 --> 01:12:41,290
Presentation video: The DSWD investigation must be transparent.

1355
01:12:41,290 --> 01:12:43,290
Presentation video: Names, barangays involved,

1356
01:12:43,290 --> 01:12:45,290
Presentation video: the exact amount deducted, and the findings

1357
01:12:45,290 --> 01:12:48,290
Presentation video: of the legal team must be made public.

1358
01:13:05,980 --> 01:13:08,640
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: With that, Mr. Secretary, thank you for heeding our call.

1359
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:14,640
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: I know hindi lang ito nangyayari sa district ko, but sa buong Pilipinas.

1360
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:19,640
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: With your leadership, lahat ng may kasalanan dapat managot.

1361
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:23,640
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Truly, maasahan ang Bagong Pilipinas.

1362
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:27,640
Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Salamat, Mr. Secretary. Congratulations, DSWD.

1368

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair. Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Magandang umaga po sa aking former family, sa DSWD family po. Mr. Chair, meron lamang akong konting katanungan.

1391
01:15:40,480 --> 01:16:05,540
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Magsisimula po ako tungkol sa Uplift at informal workers. Nitong dumaan tayo sa malubhang economic crisis dala ng US-Iran conflict, nakita natin maraming jeepney drivers, market vendors, at iba pang informal workers ang umasa sa ayuda mula sa gobyerno dito sa programang Uplift.

1392
01:16:05,540 --> 01:16:13,950
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Pero maraming nabigo at naiyak dahil pagdating sa payout, hindi pala sila kasali.

1393
01:16:13,950 --> 01:16:17,630
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary,

1394
01:16:17,630 --> 01:16:24,820
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: gusto po sana nilang malaman, ano po kaya ang nangyari, bakit karamihan sa kanila ay hindi nakasama sa master list ng ahensya?

1395
01:16:26,940 --> 01:16:30,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, let me break that apart kasi maraming sektor yung binanggit.

1396
01:16:30,220 --> 01:16:31,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Una,

1397
01:16:38,700 --> 01:16:42,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: wala hong database ang gobyerno pagdating sa mga drivers.

1398
01:16:43,580 --> 01:16:48,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we were given lists by different sources like ltfrb

1399
01:16:49,100 --> 01:16:50,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: LGUs, pero kulang-kulang po yung list.

1400
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:53,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At hindi naman dahil hindi nila in-update yung

1401
01:16:53,020 --> 01:16:54,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: list, pero yung relationship

1402
01:16:54,700 --> 01:16:56,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng, let's say, in the case of jeepney drivers

1403
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:58,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and tricycle drivers, napaka-fluid

1404
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:00,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ho ng relationship. Maya't-maya, nagpapalit

1405
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:02,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng driver, pero

1406
01:17:02,380 --> 01:17:04,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi na-update yung LGU

1407
01:17:04,700 --> 01:17:06,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or hindi na-update yung LTFRB.

1408
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:09,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's the sad part of it. Napakabilis

1409
01:17:09,060 --> 01:17:10,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nung relationship na yun.

1410
01:17:10,620 --> 01:17:12,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Doon sa hearing na 'yon, nilatag

1411
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:14,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: rin namin na kahit yung akala

1412
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:16,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: naming madali, yung mga TNVS,

1413
01:17:16,820 --> 01:17:18,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung mga two-wheel na

1414
01:17:18,460 --> 01:17:20,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ride-hailing, at saka yung mga service delivery,

1415
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:22,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: akala namin lahat 'yan app-based.

1416
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:24,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But lo and behold, nung lumabas

1417
01:17:24,580 --> 01:17:26,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung mga listahan, napakarami sa kanila

1418
01:17:26,460 --> 01:17:28,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pala ang ikinukubli ng kanilang mga

1419
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:30,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: service, mga platform, dahil they already

1420
01:17:30,540 --> 01:17:32,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: exceeded their limits. So,

1421
01:17:32,440 --> 01:17:34,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: anong nangyari ho noon, binigyan kami

1422
01:17:34,580 --> 01:17:36,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng listahan ng mga iba-ibang sources,

1423
01:17:36,300 --> 01:17:37,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the list did not come from DSWD,

1424
01:17:38,220 --> 01:17:40,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pagdating ng payout, as always, kami ho

1425
01:17:40,420 --> 01:17:42,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung pinagagalitan ng mga driver. But,

1426
01:17:42,740 --> 01:17:44,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at the end of the whole exercise, we

1427
01:17:44,340 --> 01:17:46,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: painstakingly did it one by one,

1428
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:48,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as in, kumunsulta sa mga

1429
01:17:48,380 --> 01:17:50,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: iba't ibang mga organized

1430
01:17:50,440 --> 01:17:52,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: groups, and we can tell you

1431
01:17:52,480 --> 01:17:54,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that we have now furnished

1432
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:56,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the DOTr, what

1433
01:17:56,480 --> 01:17:58,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I think is the country's first

1434
01:17:58,500 --> 01:18:00,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: time na nagkaroon ng listahan

1435
01:18:00,620 --> 01:18:02,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng mga driver. That's

1436
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:04,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 1.8 million

1437
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:06,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na mga driver ng iba't-ibang

1438
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:08,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: modalities, except non-motorized

1439
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:11,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: modalities. Yan ang kauna-unahan

1440
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na listahan nitong bansa, and

1441
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:14,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we, nag-usap kami ni Secretary Lopez

1442
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:16,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and he said he will find mechanisms to keep

1443
01:18:16,580 --> 01:18:18,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: on updating it, para pagdating

1444
01:18:18,380 --> 01:18:20,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang tamang panahon na naman na

1445
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: tulong sa kanila, mas mabilis na ho.

1446
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:24,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Unfortunately, the country doesn't have

1447
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:26,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a database at kauna-unahan ho yun.

1448
01:18:26,500 --> 01:18:28,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero ginamot naman ho namin. That's why

1449
01:18:28,380 --> 01:18:29,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: from what we thought was

1450
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: parang nagsimula sa 800,000

1451
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:34,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na tapos kami sa 1.8 million

1452
01:18:34,300 --> 01:18:36,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and to the best of our ability, alam

1453
01:18:36,380 --> 01:18:37,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: namin na yun at yun na. Lumabas rin sa

1454
01:18:37,980 --> 01:18:40,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: SWS survey na marami sa kanila, almost

1455
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:42,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 80 to 90 percent of them said

1456
01:18:42,260 --> 01:18:44,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: they were covered and they appreciated it.

1457
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:46,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Slow start, but we ended

1458
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: strong, I'd like to think. Pero alam namin,

1459
01:18:48,380 --> 01:18:50,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the efforts are never perfect. Kaya humihiling

1460
01:18:50,820 --> 01:18:52,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kami ng paumanhin sa mga maaring

1461
01:18:52,660 --> 01:18:54,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi pa rin nakasama. Pero

1462
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:56,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that's the first part of it.

1463
01:18:56,540 --> 01:18:58,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The second part of it, inuna po

1464
01:18:58,460 --> 01:19:00,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: natin ang ating mga

1465
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: transpo workers kasi they were at the forefront

1466
01:19:02,480 --> 01:19:04,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nung time na yun. Now, the pivot

1467
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:06,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: will be the Uplift assistance na binanggit

1468
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:08,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ko kanina nung nagtatanong si Congresswoman

1469
01:19:08,540 --> 01:19:10,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Baronda. Ito naman, tinignan yung mga

1470
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:12,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: poor and near-poor

1471
01:19:12,740 --> 01:19:14,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at low-wage earners.

1472
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:16,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, ibig sabihin, nako-cover na natin

1473
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: theoretically if the CBMS is

1474
01:19:18,220 --> 01:19:20,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: correct. Theoretically, nandyan

1475
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na ho yung mga informal sector natin.

1476
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:24,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Bahagi sila ng poor and non-poor.

1477
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:26,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi hindi lang four-piece ang kasama dito

1478
01:19:26,420 --> 01:19:28,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pati mga poor na hindi four-piece.

1479
01:19:28,480 --> 01:19:30,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hinabol rin natin yung mga low-wage earners

1480
01:19:30,580 --> 01:19:32,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng SSS.

1481
01:19:32,580 --> 01:19:34,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: In fact, we're in the process of

1482
01:19:34,380 --> 01:19:36,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: looking for more kahit yung mga walang

1483
01:19:36,300 --> 01:19:38,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: basic deposit account, benefit deposit

1484
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:40,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: account, pero pasok sa criteria

1485
01:19:40,440 --> 01:19:42,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na ₱20,000 below

1486
01:19:42,020 --> 01:19:44,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na monthly service credits.

1487
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:46,240
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sakali,

1488
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:47,700
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mr. Chair,

1489
01:19:48,220 --> 01:19:50,280
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: yung listahan naman po para sa

1490
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,580
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: vendors, sino naman po yung nagbibigay

1491
01:19:52,580 --> 01:19:54,320
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: nito? I don't think there's a list of vendors.

1492
01:19:54,440 --> 01:19:56,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ako naging mayor ho ako, very fluid rin ho yan.

1493
01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:58,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero kami kasi tinitignan namin

1494
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:00,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sila sa sektor. So malamang pasok ho sila

1495
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa poor at near-poor.

1496
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:04,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Theoretically, if the CBMS was done

1497
01:20:04,580 --> 01:20:06,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: right, then dapat pasok ho yung

1498
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:08,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: mga informal sector natin pati yung mga

1499
01:20:08,460 --> 01:20:10,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ambulant vendors. And up to now

1500
01:20:10,580 --> 01:20:12,140
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: you are still paying them out?

1501
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:14,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're almost done with the first month.

1502
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:16,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 'Yon yung nilatag namin na numero kanina

1503
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:18,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na naka-5.5,

1504
01:20:18,220 --> 01:20:20,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 5.7 million na ho kami out of the

1505
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:22,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 7.5. Hinahanap pa namin

1506
01:20:22,500 --> 01:20:24,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung balance kasi tulad yung nasabi namin

1507
01:20:24,220 --> 01:20:26,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: maaaring wala na sila sa kanilang mga residence

1508
01:20:26,220 --> 01:20:28,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na mga bahay nung ginawa yung

1509
01:20:28,480 --> 01:20:29,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: CBMS.

1510
01:20:29,860 --> 01:20:32,420
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Kami po sa Akbayan, we've

1511
01:20:32,420 --> 01:20:34,360
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: filed the Magna Carta for

1512
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:36,240
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: workers in the informal

1513
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:38,500
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: economy. Will you support this

1514
01:20:38,500 --> 01:20:40,300
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: bill creating a registry

1515
01:20:40,300 --> 01:20:42,340
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: of informal sector workers?

1516
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:43,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair,

1517
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:46,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as in always, we're only as good as

1518
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:47,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the list that we have.

1519
01:20:48,220 --> 01:20:50,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero if I, we will be fully supportive

1520
01:20:50,220 --> 01:20:52,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of that. Pero if I can also

1521
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:53,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: add to the notion na

1522
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:56,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the problem with our country I believe

1523
01:20:56,180 --> 01:20:58,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is we have too many databases also.

1524
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:00,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Databases that do not talk to each

1525
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:02,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: other. Kaya nga ho, I think the

1526
01:21:02,140 --> 01:21:03,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: CBMS law wanted to streamline

1527
01:21:03,980 --> 01:21:06,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the number of databases that the country

1528
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:08,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: maintains. Alam po natin na next

1529
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: year meron na namang run ulit

1530
01:21:10,060 --> 01:21:12,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng CBMS. I'm sure the PSA

1531
01:21:12,480 --> 01:21:13,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: can gladly put new

1532
01:21:13,820 --> 01:21:16,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: indicators there. Are they vendors?

1533
01:21:16,440 --> 01:21:18,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Di ba ho? Kasi gagastos na lang

1534
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:19,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ho tayo ng CBMS next year,

1535
01:21:20,100 --> 01:21:22,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: damihan na natin yung mga indicators na kanilang

1536
01:21:22,140 --> 01:21:24,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sine-check. And also, I spoke to

1537
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:25,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: PSA last year—yesterday,

1538
01:21:26,480 --> 01:21:28,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang pinakamaganda ho, we told them na

1539
01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:29,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: i-link na yung national ID doon sa

1540
01:21:29,860 --> 01:21:31,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: CBMS. So they will link that.

1541
01:21:32,060 --> 01:21:33,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So that magamit naman natin to the fullest

1542
01:21:33,820 --> 01:21:36,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: extent yung national ID. Yes,

1543
01:21:36,020 --> 01:21:37,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we support the database, but maybe

1544
01:21:37,980 --> 01:21:40,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: not as a standalone, but ipasok na

1545
01:21:40,100 --> 01:21:41,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: rin natin sa CBMS. Hopefully,

1546
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:43,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: makapture ng maayos yung mga data na yan.

1547
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:46,490
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ilahat na natin, no, Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary.

1548
01:21:46,490 --> 01:21:48,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Driver ba ho kayo, vendor kayo?

1549
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:50,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ilagay na ho natin lahat po.

1550
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:50,860
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Yes.

1551
01:21:50,860 --> 01:21:51,780
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat po.

1552
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,160
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Dadako naman po ako sa ibang katanungan.

1553
01:21:54,300 --> 01:21:56,440
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ito'y tungkol sa Regional Women's Center.

1554
01:21:56,440 --> 01:21:58,120
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ang

1555
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,020
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: DSWD po ay

01:22:00,020 --> 01:22:02,140

1557
01:22:02,140 --> 01:22:04,300

1558
01:22:04,300 --> 01:22:06,100
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: nationwide, which are

1559
01:22:06,100 --> 01:22:07,960
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: owned and managed by the agency

1560
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:09,940

1561
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,660
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: from children to older persons.

1562
01:22:13,180 --> 01:22:14,640
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: As of 2026,

1563
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:16,300
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ilan na po ba ang Regional

1564
01:22:16,300 --> 01:22:18,100
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Women's Center sa ating bansa?

1565
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:20,140
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: At lahat po ba ito ay fully

1566
01:22:20,140 --> 01:22:20,920
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: functional?

1567
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:24,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The DSWD-managed centers of such nature,

1568
01:22:24,660 --> 01:22:25,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: labing-apat po.

1569
01:22:26,260 --> 01:22:27,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meron rin hong 45 na

1570
01:22:27,940 --> 01:22:30,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: LGU-managed. Bagamat hindi kami ang nagpapatakbo,

1571
01:22:30,420 --> 01:22:31,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we look at their standards.

1572
01:22:33,020 --> 01:22:34,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: There are also 54

1573
01:22:34,100 --> 01:22:35,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: private such

1574
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,160

1575
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:40,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then,

1576
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:42,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: meron ho, so that brings us a total of

1577
01:22:42,220 --> 01:22:43,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 54,

1578
01:22:43,620 --> 01:22:45,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 100 plus.

1579
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:47,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Around 100 plus.

1580
01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:49,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ngayon ba rin tatanungin ninyo ako,

1581
01:22:49,900 --> 01:22:51,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: bakit namin binibilang yung LGU-run,

1582
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:53,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pati na rin ho yung mga private,

1583
01:22:53,780 --> 01:22:55,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because we have to look at their standards.

1584
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:57,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If they find the, if they are

1585
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: accredited to run, then that

1586
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:01,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: means pumapasala sila and they're fully

1587
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:03,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: funksyonal. And if I may point out,

1588
01:23:03,940 --> 01:23:05,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: mahirap ho kasi magtayo ng magtayo

1589
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:07,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng care facilities. Magastos,

1590
01:23:07,940 --> 01:23:09,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as you know, the capital expenditure

1591
01:23:09,780 --> 01:23:11,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because of the tight fiscal space. Kaya nga ho

1592
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:13,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: last year, through the Act of Congress,

1593
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:15,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: naglagay ho kami ng pondo

1594
01:23:15,780 --> 01:23:18,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para sa cost of care, kung tawagin.

1595
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:20,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ibig sabihin, hindi na ho tayo

1596
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:21,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: magtatayo kung overcrowded na yung

1597
01:23:21,820 --> 01:23:23,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ating care facilities, not just for women,

1598
01:23:24,260 --> 01:23:26,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but for other sector. We can now refer

1599
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:27,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: them to a private SWDA,

1600
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:29,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: social welfare agency, and

1601
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:31,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pay for the cost of care. So,

1602
01:23:31,980 --> 01:23:33,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in short, it's like accrediting and then

1603
01:23:33,980 --> 01:23:36,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: paying for our clients that we refer to them.

1604
01:23:36,940 --> 01:23:37,720
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: And,

1605
01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:40,120
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mr. Chair, just a follow-up question

1606
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:42,320
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: to that. Nagpapa-accredit po

1607
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:45,100
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: even private sa inyo?

1608
01:23:45,100 --> 01:23:45,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yes, by law,

1609
01:23:45,940 --> 01:23:48,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi sila pwede mag-operate without a

1610
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: registry, license to operate,

1611
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:51,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and an accreditation.

1612
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:53,940
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Para po sa pangalawang katanungan

1613
01:23:53,940 --> 01:23:55,640
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: para dito sa Women's Center,

1614
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:58,160
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: nagsagawa po tayo ng konsultasyon

1615
01:23:58,160 --> 01:23:59,660
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: kasama ang ating mga

1616
01:23:59,660 --> 01:24:01,280
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: women's

1617
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:03,880
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: or mga kababaihan. Isa po

1618
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:05,820
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: sa mga issue na na-raise ay

1619
01:24:05,820 --> 01:24:07,660
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ang kakulangan ng mga essential

1620
01:24:07,660 --> 01:24:09,680
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: operational tools sa mga

1621
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:11,180
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: regional women's centers.

1622
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:13,680
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Para po sa 2027,

1623
01:24:14,220 --> 01:24:15,780
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: magkano ang nakalaang pondo

1624
01:24:15,780 --> 01:24:17,800
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: para sa mga essential operational

1625
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:19,880
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: tools ng ating mga regional

1626
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:20,780
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: women's center?

1627
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:25,290
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Madam Chair,

1628
01:25:25,570 --> 01:25:27,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the total, we look at it from an

1629
01:25:27,750 --> 01:25:30,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: MOOE point of view, kasi wala hong mag-administer

1630
01:25:30,230 --> 01:25:31,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng kids kung wala ho yung psychosocial

1631
01:25:31,870 --> 01:25:33,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: support noon, pati na rin yung grief

1632
01:25:33,790 --> 01:25:35,970
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: counseling and all the interventions

1633
01:25:35,970 --> 01:25:37,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that we do. For these centers,

1634
01:25:37,870 --> 01:25:40,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it's at ₱2.295875

1635
01:25:40,030 --> 01:25:40,550
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: billion.

1636
01:25:42,950 --> 01:25:44,030
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Natanong ko po ito,

1637
01:25:44,110 --> 01:25:45,910
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mr. Chair, dahil napansin

1638
01:25:45,910 --> 01:25:47,910
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: po namin na consistently

1639
01:25:47,950 --> 01:25:50,050
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: po kasi yung lack of dedicated

1640
01:25:50,050 --> 01:25:51,830
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: funds for essential

1641
01:25:51,830 --> 01:25:53,850
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: operational tools, notably

1642
01:25:53,850 --> 01:25:55,350
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: vehicles exclusively

1643
01:25:55,350 --> 01:25:57,310
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: allocated for the centers.

1644
01:25:57,970 --> 01:25:58,630
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Kaya po,

1645
01:25:59,070 --> 01:26:01,830
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ito po bang budget na

1646
01:26:01,830 --> 01:26:03,110
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ₱2.2 billion,

1647
01:26:03,730 --> 01:26:06,250
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: sapat na po ba ito for 2027?

1648
01:26:06,630 --> 01:26:07,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It is never enough, Mr. Chairman,

1649
01:26:07,990 --> 01:26:10,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: especially for the vulnerable, the poor, and the marginalized.

1650
01:26:10,370 --> 01:26:11,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It is never enough.

1651
01:26:11,790 --> 01:26:13,490
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair.

1652
01:26:13,570 --> 01:26:15,130
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mamaya po ako magmamanifest.

1653
01:26:15,410 --> 01:26:17,410
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Pangatlong katanungan po tungkol dito,

1654
01:26:17,950 --> 01:26:19,810
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: dahil din po sa mataas na client

1655
01:26:19,810 --> 01:26:22,270
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: to staff ratio, naranasan

1656
01:26:22,270 --> 01:26:23,870
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ko po ito nung nasa DSWD

1657
01:26:24,050 --> 01:26:25,570
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: pa ako. Madalas na

1658
01:26:25,570 --> 01:26:28,350
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: nararanasan ang burnout

1659
01:26:28,350 --> 01:26:30,490
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ng ating mga social workers.

1660
01:26:30,890 --> 01:26:32,030
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mayroon po ba tayong

1661
01:26:32,030 --> 01:26:33,870
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: mga umiiral na programa

1662
01:26:33,870 --> 01:26:35,630
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: upang maiwasan ito at

1663
01:26:35,630 --> 01:26:39,150
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: mapangalagaan ang kapakanan ng ating mga workers?

1664
01:26:39,150 --> 01:26:40,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Two things, Mr. Chairman.

1665
01:26:40,170 --> 01:26:41,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number one, tulad na nabanggit ko kanina,

1666
01:26:41,790 --> 01:26:43,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we're now going to farm out our

1667
01:26:43,850 --> 01:26:46,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: functions to the private accredited

1668
01:26:46,070 --> 01:26:47,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: SWDAs, or social welfare

1669
01:26:47,950 --> 01:26:50,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and development agencies. Last year,

1670
01:26:50,150 --> 01:26:52,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Congress put in an allocation of close

1671
01:26:52,070 --> 01:26:54,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to 200 million para hindi na ho tayo-tayo

1672
01:26:54,010 --> 01:26:56,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng tayo at hindi natin pinipilit na ilagay

1673
01:26:56,250 --> 01:26:58,290
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa overcrowded na shelters.

1674
01:26:58,970 --> 01:27:00,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're just finalizing

1675
01:27:00,030 --> 01:27:02,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the guidelines kasi nakuha na ho namin yung

1676
01:27:02,010 --> 01:27:03,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: SARO so that there are so

1677
01:27:03,990 --> 01:27:06,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: many private sector swadas

1678
01:27:06,010 --> 01:27:08,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: out there na aminin ko

1679
01:27:08,350 --> 01:27:09,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: mas magaling pa

1680
01:27:09,470 --> 01:27:12,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sometimes kasi they have foreign

1681
01:27:12,010 --> 01:27:14,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: funders. So we'll do cost of care

1682
01:27:14,090 --> 01:27:15,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para mabawasan yung caseload.

1683
01:27:15,630 --> 01:27:17,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Una po yun. Pangalawa,

1684
01:27:17,950 --> 01:27:19,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: obviously we've invested, we've

1685
01:27:19,930 --> 01:27:22,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: made investments in caring for the caregivers.

1686
01:27:23,170 --> 01:27:24,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Our social,

1687
01:27:24,170 --> 01:27:26,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we have an interdisciplinary team

1688
01:27:26,310 --> 01:27:28,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: made by consultants from

1689
01:27:28,130 --> 01:27:30,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: outside the department, from the academe

1690
01:27:30,090 --> 01:27:32,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to make sure that, inikutan lahat niyang

1691
01:27:32,130 --> 01:27:33,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: center na yan, did a top line

1692
01:27:33,990 --> 01:27:36,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: analysis kung ano ba talaga ang panawagan nila

1693
01:27:36,130 --> 01:27:37,290
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa amin. Anong gusto nila?

1694
01:27:37,990 --> 01:27:39,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Instead of, siyempre nakalagay dun yung

1695
01:27:39,950 --> 01:27:41,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: more capacity building, but tama ho kayo.

1696
01:27:42,090 --> 01:27:44,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Top of their list is always making

1697
01:27:44,030 --> 01:27:46,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sure na hindi sila nauubos

1698
01:27:46,050 --> 01:27:47,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or hindi sila napapagod

1699
01:27:47,950 --> 01:27:50,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: o nabuburnout. So that's part of

1700
01:27:50,110 --> 01:27:52,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the modules that we're running right now

1701
01:27:52,090 --> 01:27:54,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to decompress, to help them do so.

1702
01:27:54,370 --> 01:27:56,090
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Nasa ilan po yung ratio

1703
01:27:56,090 --> 01:27:58,070
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ngayon ng isang social worker?

1704
01:27:58,470 --> 01:28:00,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, iba-iba ho.

1705
01:28:00,990 --> 01:28:02,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Iba-iba ho. Kasi

1706
01:28:02,030 --> 01:28:03,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: depende ho sa

1707
01:28:03,790 --> 01:28:06,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sektor na pinag-uusapan. Let's say

1708
01:28:06,210 --> 01:28:07,890
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: 4Ps. Ilan po yung—

1709
01:28:07,890 --> 01:28:09,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sa 4Ps ho, hindi lang

1710
01:28:09,870 --> 01:28:11,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: social worker ang tingin namin dun, case manager.

1711
01:28:12,250 --> 01:28:14,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi ho, nung una tayo nagsimula

1712
01:28:14,050 --> 01:28:15,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nasa 800 yan, naging 500

1713
01:28:15,930 --> 01:28:17,890
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: now it's at 200, which is an

1714
01:28:17,950 --> 01:28:20,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: acceptable limit. Para sa mga case manager natin

1715
01:28:20,190 --> 01:28:22,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa ex-combatants, it's even

1716
01:28:22,030 --> 01:28:24,150
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lower at around 150

1717
01:28:24,150 --> 01:28:24,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to 200.

1718
01:28:25,390 --> 01:28:27,170
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Kasama pa ata ako diyan sa 800.

1719
01:28:27,490 --> 01:28:30,290
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Right now, Mr. Chair, we're happy to report

1720
01:28:30,290 --> 01:28:32,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na DBM has been helping us

1721
01:28:32,050 --> 01:28:33,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na kalahati na ng aming

1722
01:28:33,870 --> 01:28:35,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: links at municipal

1723
01:28:35,950 --> 01:28:38,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and city links ang na-regularize or in the process

1724
01:28:38,190 --> 01:28:40,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of being regularized at binaba

1725
01:28:40,050 --> 01:28:43,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na rin ho yung ratio na 'yan to 200 to 300.

1726
01:28:43,010 --> 01:28:44,070
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: I-insert ko lang

1727
01:28:44,070 --> 01:28:45,950
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: po ito, Mr. Chair, dahil

1728
01:28:45,950 --> 01:28:47,930

01:28:53,950 --> 01:28:56,250
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: na nabanggit ninyo po kanina yung regularization?

1733
01:28:56,870 --> 01:28:57,990
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: May plano po ba

1734
01:28:57,990 --> 01:28:59,910
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ang ahensya doon sa mga

1735
01:28:59,910 --> 01:29:02,370
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: social workers natin

1736
01:29:02,370 --> 01:29:03,990
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: or empleyado natin

1737
01:29:03,990 --> 01:29:04,990
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: sa ahensya na

1738
01:29:04,990 --> 01:29:08,330
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: they've been in

1739
01:29:08,330 --> 01:29:09,790
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: contract

1740
01:29:09,790 --> 01:29:11,930
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: under contract po

1741
01:29:11,930 --> 01:29:13,950
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: sa DSWD na

1742
01:29:13,950 --> 01:29:16,130
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: let's say 10 years, 20

1743
01:29:16,130 --> 01:29:17,830
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: years, 30 years, pero hanggang ngayon

1744
01:29:17,830 --> 01:29:19,630
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: hindi pa rin po sila na-regularize.

1745
01:29:19,650 --> 01:29:21,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yes, hindi ho kami tumitigil. In fact, we're

1746
01:29:21,770 --> 01:29:23,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: happy to inform the

1747
01:29:23,090 --> 01:29:25,830
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: subcommittee mula sa discussion

1748
01:29:25,830 --> 01:29:27,830
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: last year. The DBM has already granted us

1749
01:29:27,830 --> 01:29:29,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 5,000 new regular

1750
01:29:29,810 --> 01:29:31,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: positions. Hindi lang ho to

1751
01:29:31,790 --> 01:29:33,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para sa mga social worker kasi meron rin tayong

1752
01:29:33,710 --> 01:29:35,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: mga development workers who's been with the department

1753
01:29:35,790 --> 01:29:37,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for years. This is

1754
01:29:37,670 --> 01:29:39,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for the four piece alone. So kung

1755
01:29:39,450 --> 01:29:41,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 15,000 sila, this is

1756
01:29:41,810 --> 01:29:43,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the first 5,000 nila. Then may next

1757
01:29:43,910 --> 01:29:45,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 5,000 na commitment ulit until

1758
01:29:45,750 --> 01:29:47,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lahat sila ma-regularize. Now,

1759
01:29:47,830 --> 01:29:49,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, when I say

1760
01:29:49,850 --> 01:29:51,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 4Ps, hindi naman kasi limited to 4Ps

1761
01:29:51,750 --> 01:29:53,410
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lang to. Based on civil service

1762
01:29:53,410 --> 01:29:55,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: rules, pwede rin mag-apply the

1763
01:29:55,710 --> 01:29:57,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: eligible social workers sa labas

1764
01:29:57,690 --> 01:29:59,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng cluster ng four piece to become

1765
01:29:59,730 --> 01:30:00,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: regular.

1766
01:30:00,440 --> 01:30:03,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: positions as long as they meet the eligibility requirements. On top of that,

1767
01:30:03,940 --> 01:30:07,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we also got a couple, konti lang naman, pero it's a step towards the

1768
01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:10,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: right direction, a couple of regular positions also for

1769
01:30:10,620 --> 01:30:14,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: plantilla positions for the disaster group, the innovations group, yung sa Social

1770
01:30:14,900 --> 01:30:18,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Technology Bureau. And at the same time, hopefully, padating na rin,

1771
01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:21,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sabi sa akin ni Sec Kim, yung sa AICS program natin ng mga manggagawa.

1772
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:29,240
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ganda ng mga sagot ni Sec. Ibig sabihin po, Mr. Chair, it is a continuing regularization process po?

1773
01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:31,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Correct. At may progress po. Hindi ho laway lamang, kundi

1774
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:36,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: limang libo. Marami ho, and I think that's the first time na ganyang

1775
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:41,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: karami yung nare-regularize. Hinahanda na rin yung second batch na 5,000.

1776
01:30:41,950 --> 01:30:45,160
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Wow. Sige po. Dadako naman po ako sa ibang katanungan.

1777
01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:50,540
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Psychosocial support po. Ang DSWD ay merong program na tinatawag

1778
01:30:50,540 --> 01:30:56,340
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: na Wireless Mental Health and Psychosocial Support, or WeSupport. This

1779
01:30:56,340 --> 01:30:57,380
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: DSWD

1780
01:30:57,380 --> 01:31:02,380
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: initiative aims to establish a systematic response in addressing mental

1781
01:31:02,380 --> 01:31:07,480
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: health and psychosocial concerns through wireless and online platforms.

1782
01:31:07,480 --> 01:31:13,520
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ilan po ang total users ng WeSupport platform sa nakaraang taon, at ano ang

1783
01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:18,020
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: breakdown per age group? Kung sakaling wala pong data right now,

1784
01:31:18,020 --> 01:31:23,660
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: puwede naman pong i-submit sa committee. Kasama po doon yung isa sa katanungan ko rin na

1785
01:31:23,660 --> 01:31:27,380
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ano-anong mga coverage ng WeSupport program

1786
01:31:27,380 --> 01:31:29,380
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: para sa kabataan at estudyante?

1787
01:31:29,380 --> 01:31:34,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, the WeSupport program is a smaller program of the

1788
01:31:34,500 --> 01:31:39,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: department. 681 ang naging beneficiaries. Sounds really small, but we've already

1789
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:44,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pivoted under the Social Technology Bureau, a new program patterned after our

1790
01:31:44,380 --> 01:31:49,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: cash-for-work tutoring program, yung Tara Basa. Ngayon meron ho kaming Tara Usap.

1791
01:31:49,380 --> 01:31:53,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's a peer-to-peer support group in colleges and universities that we are

1792
01:31:53,980 --> 01:31:57,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: now piloting everywhere. Ang naging partner po namin doon is the

1793
01:31:57,380 --> 01:32:01,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ateneo School of Psychology, as well as the UP School of Psychology, kung saan

1794
01:32:01,260 --> 01:32:06,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we're establishing safe spaces in schools. It's like Alcoholics Anonymous abroad.

1795
01:32:06,440 --> 01:32:19,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At kina-capacitate natin yung mga peer counselors, pero obviously klaro rin sa kanila yung hangganan ng kanilang kayang gawin and the referral pathways. So that's something that we're proud

1796
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:24,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of, that we're already innovating. We veered towards peer-to-peer kasi we

1797
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:27,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: always believe in community approaches kung saan we

1798
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:30,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: empower the community to take care of the community.

1799
01:32:30,340 --> 01:32:37,610
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: May monitoring system po kayo para makita yung effectiveness sa pagbawas ng stress, anxiety, depression?

1800
01:32:37,610 --> 01:32:40,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Dahil pilot pa lang ho ito, bahagi naman ho 'yon ng design. But we

1801
01:32:40,480 --> 01:32:44,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: will gladly report back to the committee after the pilot run is over.

1802
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:49,920
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Para po sa huling katanungan, given the recent school shootings na nagpapakita

1803
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:56,000
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ng vulnerability sa ating mga kabataan, ano po ang kongkretong plano ng DSWD

1804
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:02,110
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: para palakasin ang long-term psychosocial support ng WeSupport para sa mga kabataan?

1805
01:33:02,110 --> 01:33:04,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Madam, Mr. Chair, we're veering away not

1806
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:07,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: just from WeSupport. Kami, we've been working with the Masayang Pamilyang

1807
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:11,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: organisasyon, yung Masayang Pamilyang Pilipino organization

1808
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:15,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for the longest time. These are people from the academe,

1809
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:19,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: most notably si Professor Alampay, who is one of the more senior

1810
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:24,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: academe members of the Ateneo School of Psychology. Kami naniniwala, patatagin natin yung pamilya.

1811
01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:28,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we've revamped the 4Ps Family Development Sessions to strengthen

1812
01:33:28,700 --> 01:33:44,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the role of our parents in making sure na alam nila ano yung mga red flags. Kasi it starts at home. Tama, malaki ang gampanin ng mga guro, pero pag kausap namin ang mga guro, nagsisimula yung formative years sa bahay.

1813
01:33:44,380 --> 01:33:47,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So that's why we're looking at it from a paradigm of a parent

1814
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:52,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or a family intervention. So una po 'yon, binago na ho natin yung 18 years na

1815
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:55,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: curriculum ng FDS, ng Family Development Sessions, to

1816
01:33:55,840 --> 01:34:00,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: incorporate newer newer topics like digital uh

1817
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:04,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: digital literacy but in the same case uh digital awareness or digital parenting

1818
01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:09,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: These are new modules. Number two, yung batas ho na Parent Effectiveness

1819
01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:13,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and simula namin roll out and these this one is being done

1820
01:34:13,440 --> 01:34:17,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: together with edu child another known family oriented

1821
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:22,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: local group that does capacity building for our parents. At the end of the day,

1822
01:34:22,620 --> 01:34:24,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung long-term ho, we do the

1823
01:34:24,460 --> 01:34:27,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sana huwag na maulit, but we do the post kung

1824
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:33,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: may nangyayari. Working with the academe, we have trauma-informed care already na beyond

1825
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:35,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: disasters, pati mga ganitong insidente.

1826
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:39,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero kami, ang approach pa rin namin, strengthening the Filipino families,

1827
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:44,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: strengthening our parents' capabilities so that they can watch over their children at home.

1828
01:34:44,190 --> 01:34:45,840
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair.

1829
01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:49,920
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Just a short manifestation dahil wala na po akong time.

1830
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:55,520
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mr. Chair, nais kong i-highlight na lang ang mental health support ay may direct

1831
01:34:55,520 --> 01:35:00,080
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: impact sa safety, learning at overall well-being ng kabataan.

1832
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:04,720
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Kaya mahalaga na palakasin ang programang ito bilang preventive at

1833
01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:08,320
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: accessible support system para sa ating mga kabataan,

1834
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:13,840
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: gaya ng WeSupport. Also, Mr. Chair, napansin ko po na bumaba po yung

1835
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:19,520
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: pondo sa ating Supplemental Feeding Program na mula sa ₱9.56

1836
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:25,500
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: bilyon nitong taon, naging ₱6.35 billion na lamang po sa NEP ng

1837
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:34,520
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: 2027. At dahil po doon, in the proper time, I will move to increase the budget of the DSWD for fiscal year 2027.

1838
01:35:35,580 --> 01:35:45,340
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Hindi po dapat tinatapyas ang ahensya na inaasahan ng mga marginalized sectors at vulnerable constituents ng ating bansa.

1839
01:35:45,660 --> 01:35:46,920
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair.

1840
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:47,260
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you.

1841
01:35:47,260 --> 01:35:47,760
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you.

1842
01:35:49,620 --> 01:35:56,140
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: May we call on Representative Adrian Amatong.

1843
01:35:57,180 --> 01:35:58,940
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Thank you very much Mr. Chair.

1844
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:02,900
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Magandang umaga po, Secretary Rex, sa buong DSWD family.

1845
01:36:03,540 --> 01:36:07,920
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Mr. Chair, ang DSWD isa sa pinaka-active na agency sa distrito ko.

1846
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:10,300
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Kaya masaya kami.

1847
01:36:11,140 --> 01:36:16,840
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Alam ko marami siyang programs, pero dalawa sa pinakagusto namin, yung AICS at saka yung SLP.

1848
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:24,580
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Yung AICS dahil marami kaming mga mahihirap na estudyante na hirap na hirap silang mag-aral,

1849
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:27,020
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: eh dahil sa flexibility ng AICS,

1850
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:28,220
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: natutulungan natin sila.

1851
01:36:28,940 --> 01:36:30,220
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: So mga thousands po yan.

1852
01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:36,300
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Tapos yung sa SLP gustong gusto namin kasi iba siya doun sa mga doll out programs.

1853
01:36:36,660 --> 01:36:42,460
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: SLP kasi we give those who are willing to work really hard for themselves na mag-succeed

1854
01:36:42,660 --> 01:36:43,720
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: lalo na mga walang capital.

1855
01:36:44,340 --> 01:36:50,400
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: secretary gusto ko lang itanong. Narinig ko kasi medyo nabawasan yata yung budget niyo sa SLP.

1856
01:36:51,780 --> 01:36:52,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ah yes Mr. Chair,

1857
01:36:52,860 --> 01:36:56,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it's one of these line item na binanggit namin at sumulat rin kami sa committee

1858
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:57,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na sana

1859
01:36:57,160 --> 01:37:02,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: maibalik at least man lang, ma-augment by a billion pesos. Mr. Chair, that is correct. Congressman

1860
01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:09,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Amatong is correct. Yung SLP, we're very happy na maraming mga partners natin ang tinatanong

1861
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:15,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na SLP. That means nandoon na tayo sa mindset of teaching our people how to fish. We've actually

1862
01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:20,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: submitted a one-billion-peso fund augmentation sana for the supplemental, sorry, for

1863
01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:28,150
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the Sustainable Livelihood Program. Kasi nga, that's part of our mandate, social development, hindi lang puro social welfare.

1864
01:37:29,070 --> 01:37:32,760
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Mr. Chair, I'd like to support yung move na i-increase yung budget specifically

1865
01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:38,520
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: sa SLP kasi na-experience namin. Ako kasi minsan ngayon yung payout, ayokong pumunta sa mga

1866
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:45,640
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: dole-outs kasi parang, although natutulungan naman yung local economy, pero

1867
01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:51,560
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: siyempre pagkatapos noon wala na eh. Pero yung SLP kasi ang laking promise, kasi nga sabi ni Secretary,

1868
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:54,760
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: we teach our people how to fish. Hindi lang yung bibigyan ng isda.

1869
01:37:55,320 --> 01:37:56,120
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: So, Mr.

1870
01:37:56,200 --> 01:38:00,440
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Chair, gusto ko lang i-support yung move na yun na i-increase talaga yung budget,

1871
01:38:00,440 --> 01:38:04,840
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: kung pwede mas malaki pa sa one billion. Kasi dapat nandoon na tayo sa mode of

1872
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:12,040
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: enabling our people na makatayo sa sarili nila. Kasi kung lagi na lang nating

1873
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:17,000
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: binibigyan ng dole-outs, walang mangyayari. Lalaki nang lalaki yung utang natin dahil sa dole-outs natin.

1874
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:22,920
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Whereas ma-stimulate natin yung economy tapos mabigyan natin ng opportunity tumayo sa sarili nila.

1875
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:35,840
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Malamang hindi na hihingi ng dole-outs, kasi yun ang goal namin. I really commend your team doon sa Zamboanga del Norte, sa third district, kasi kahit weekends, kahit holidays, nagtatrabaho sila.

1876
01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:41,020
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Kaya nagrereklamo din ako doon sa tinapyasan yung budget niyo for infrastructure,

1877
01:38:41,020 --> 01:38:52,980
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: kasi nakaikot na ako sa maraming opisina ng DSWD dito sa distrito ko. Kawawang-kawawa yung sitwasyon nila. Minsan isang kuwarto, siksikan sila parang sardinas. Pag kumilos

1878
01:38:52,980 --> 01:38:53,980
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: yung isa, kikilos

1879
01:38:53,980 --> 01:38:57,480
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: din yung iba sa dulo kasi nga siksikan na sila. Pati ang dami-daming

1880
01:38:57,480 --> 01:39:06,010
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: mga files na nandoon. So, Secretary, nag-request din kayo para sa augmentation sa infra niyo?

1881
01:39:06,010 --> 01:39:09,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, for

1882
01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:14,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: doon sa GASS na pondo na nawala rin. But I assure the good congressman, after

1883
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:18,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: he raised the concern at nakita ko yung mga opisina sa kanilang lugar, that we've

1884
01:39:18,340 --> 01:39:21,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: already downloaded funds from the central office to repair those.

1885
01:39:21,760 --> 01:39:27,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Admittedly, the regional director who is behind me again should have raised

1886
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:31,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the red flag and told us na wala na siyang MOOE so that we could have downloaded. But

1887
01:39:31,820 --> 01:39:34,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we've addressed that concern. Pero in the long run, part ho iyan ng hinihingi

1888
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:39,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: naming augmentation sa general services na budget namin.

1889
01:39:39,820 --> 01:39:43,420
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Mr. Chair, hindi lang ito sa distrito ko, kundi sa buong

1890
01:39:43,420 --> 01:39:47,800
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Pilipinas. Why? Because hirap naman nating i-expect na nakangiti, kailangan

1891
01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:51,700
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: nakangiti yung mga DSWD frontliners natin kasi nga

1892
01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:56,920
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: hinaharap nila marami ring problema eh. Pero napakahirap namang i-expect na nakangiti sila

1893
01:39:56,920 --> 01:40:00,640
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: kung pag umuulan eh iiwas-iwas sila sa tubig, tapos

1894
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:05,520
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: kung napakainit and all. So para po matulungan naman ang mga taga-DSWD, mas

1895
01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:10,060
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: maraming kababayan natin. Siguro kasi nagrereklamo din yung mga kliyente niyo

1896
01:40:10,060 --> 01:40:14,120
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: pag pumupunta doon, minsan wala silang masilungan nang maayos. So,

1897
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:21,390
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Mr. Chair, I'd like to reiterate the need to help DSWD sa infra nila.

1898
01:40:21,390 --> 01:40:26,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, much appreciated. Pero let me just point out again.

1899
01:40:26,580 --> 01:40:31,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Naka-embed sa mga budget, nakuwento ko nga ito kay Congressman, naka-embed sa mga

1900
01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:35,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: budget ng mga region namin yung repairs and maintenance ng kanilang mga tanggapan.

1901
01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:41,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi naman ho zero yan eh. That's why the regional director in Region 9 got a

1902
01:40:41,500 --> 01:40:45,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: tongue-lashing and will get more tongue-lashing after this, because hindi

1903
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:51,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: niya ginawa. It's in the initiative also of the regional director. But we

1904
01:40:51,540 --> 01:40:55,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: do appreciate the additional fund augmentation, of course, pero hindi naman

1905
01:40:55,020 --> 01:40:58,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ho dapat umabot sa ganoon. Admittedly, yung pinakita niyo sa aking mga

1906
01:40:58,360 --> 01:41:03,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: litrato ng mga satellite office sa inyong distrito, hindi ho dapat umabot sa ganoon.

1907
01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:09,600
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Pero Secretary, hindi yun yung intensyon ko. Intensyon ko ho naman po, support. Yes.

1908
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:16,960
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Tapos yun lang, Mr. Chair, yung number one concern ko lang talaga is SLP because nakita ko yung promise talaga nung

1909
01:41:16,960 --> 01:41:20,660
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: program. In fact, si Governor Uy ng Zamboanga del Norte also recognizes

1910
01:41:20,660 --> 01:41:21,540
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: the promise of

1911
01:41:21,540 --> 01:41:28,400
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: SLP sa pagtulong lalo na sa mahihirap na mga probinsya. Alam ko yung sa mayayamang probinsya siguro hindi ganoon ka-significant yun.

1912
01:41:28,820 --> 01:41:34,600
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: But for us, yung mga constituents natin na gusto nilang makahanap din ng paraan na makatayo sa sarili nila,

1913
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:41,000
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: na medyo may pride din sila, na gusto nilang umasenso sa sarili nilang pawis, malaking-malaking bagay yung SLP po.

1914
01:41:41,100 --> 01:41:44,360
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Sana po yung pondo ng SLP ay madagdagan natin. Yun lang po.

1915
01:41:44,660 --> 01:41:48,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you again. I'd like to thank the good congressman for raising two very important things:

1916
01:41:48,120 --> 01:41:52,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: augmentation for SLP and augmentation for repairs and maintenance or MOOE namin.

1917
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:55,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Huwag ho kayong mag-alala, biro lang ho naman kanina yun.

1918
01:41:56,760 --> 01:41:59,980
Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Yun lang po. Hindi ko naubos yung time ko. Marami pang magtatanong. Maraming salamat po.

1919
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:05,140
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you. The manifestation of Congressman Amatong is well noted.

1920
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:09,340
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We move on with Representative Sara Elago.

1921
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:14,140
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair, at magandang araw sa lahat.

1922
01:42:14,860 --> 01:42:17,200
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kasama sa presentation ng DSWD,

1923
01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:21,040
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ang mga bagong programa tungkol sa Project SAFE,

1924
01:42:21,040 --> 01:42:26,800
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nandiyan din ang enhanced na ProtecTEEN, hindi bago, pero mas napaunlad.

1925
01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:32,630
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nandyan din ang programa natin para sa children with disabilities.

1926
01:42:32,630 --> 01:42:35,110
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Magkano ang pondo nito para sa susunod na taon?

1927
01:42:40,980 --> 01:42:45,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, right now, itong mga programa na ito are good programs na this year,

1928
01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:53,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nagkaroon ho ng tulong sa Kongreso at Senado na nakatanggap sila ng tig-25 million each.

1929
01:42:53,760 --> 01:43:01,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero dahil sa NEP, inalis ho yun ulit, bumalik siya sa bare essentials na 50 million na paghahatian nilang tatlo.

1930
01:43:01,200 --> 01:43:09,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero we also wrote the committee na baka puwede hong ibalik yung tig-25 million nila para mapalago natin itong mga programa na ito.

1931
01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:17,320
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Chair, ano-ano yung maapektuhan ng mga activities kung hindi mapupondohan ito para sa susunod na taon?

1932
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:20,820
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang proposal ng DSWD nasa 25 million level pa rin.

1933
01:43:21,390 --> 01:43:23,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Obviously, Mr. Chair, we wanted more.

1934
01:43:23,600 --> 01:43:28,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero naunawaan na rin namin na may tight fiscal space.

1935
01:43:28,480 --> 01:43:33,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So right now, hiningi na lang namin na sana mabalik lang sa 25 million kasi these are very good programs.

1936
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:36,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang mga target beneficiaries nito...

1937
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:46,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yeah, the targets.

1938
01:44:08,280 --> 01:44:15,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For the ProtecTEEN program that takes care of our young mothers, to make sure that they don't give up on their dreams,

1939
01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:17,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and that their dignity is there,

1940
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:20,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and that they can pursue and become productive.

1941
01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:28,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The total, the phase one of it is 415 young mothers for this year.

1942
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:37,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang maapektuhan siyempre kung hindi bumalik yan, yung 415 plus our projection sana na i-grow pa ito ng 841 nakaragdagang mga batang ina.

1943
01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:41,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then sana sa year three, another 1,128.

1944
01:44:41,400 --> 01:44:46,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So all these numbers will not happen if we don't get back the funding that we had.

1945
01:44:46,440 --> 01:44:52,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now for Project Aruga, ito naman yung tulong natin sa mga pamilya na may mga anak na espesyal na pangangailangan,

1946
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:57,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang tinitingnan natin na maaaring maapektuhan ay 3,390 households.

1947
01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:00,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now for Project SAFE,

1948
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:09,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ito ho kasi, it's an advocacy program that protects us from OSAEC, or Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children, and trafficking.

1949
01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:15,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang total na maapektuhan will be 3,417.

1950
01:45:16,140 --> 01:45:20,720
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Chair, hindi dapat zero. Dapat ma-restore ang 25 million pesos.

1951
01:45:20,920 --> 01:45:25,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kung kaya pang dagdagan, dapat dagdagan para sa ProtecTEEN, Project SAFE at Project Aruga.

1952
01:45:25,760 --> 01:45:31,040
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayon naman, Mr. Chair, nabanggit kanina yung tungkol sa Haven for Women and Children.

1953
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:36,200
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Yung binanggit nyo po ba kaninang mga bilang para yun sa Haven for Women and Children na?

1954
01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:37,720
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: O magkahiwalay pa?

1955
01:45:38,600 --> 01:45:42,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Women lang po ito. Women and children kasama.

1956
01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:46,800
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nasaan?

1957
01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:49,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, magkasabay po, women and children.

1958
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:53,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: They're normally, yung mga binanggit po namin na numero 14 na DSWD Managed,

1959
01:45:54,380 --> 01:45:55,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 45 na LGU,

1960
01:45:55,760 --> 01:46:01,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and then 54 na private that we also watch over.

1961
01:46:02,540 --> 01:46:06,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: May bilang po ba kayo nung bilang ng mga victim survivors clients?

1962
01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:09,880
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa pampubliko at pampribado?

1963
01:46:25,930 --> 01:46:31,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, we'll furnish you a copy of the data being asked pag private at LGU ran.

1964
01:46:31,310 --> 01:46:34,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: What we have yung sa DSWD, 5,833.

1965
01:46:36,090 --> 01:46:37,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 5,833.

1966
01:46:37,090 --> 01:46:40,090
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: May na-identify ba kayo ng mga LGUs?

1967
01:46:40,930 --> 01:46:47,050
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Na kinakailangan pang magtayo ng mga bagong social welfare facility?

1968
01:46:47,090 --> 01:46:49,150
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meron po, Mr. Chair, and we'll gladly furnish you.

1969
01:46:49,290 --> 01:46:52,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero ang naging direction na ho namin is a PPP scheme.

1970
01:46:52,930 --> 01:46:57,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If you can do PPP for healthcare, you can do PPP for social welfare and social protection.

1971
01:46:58,170 --> 01:47:00,330
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi una po, para magtayo, we need land.

1972
01:47:00,730 --> 01:47:02,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then pangalawa, may gestation period.

1973
01:47:02,410 --> 01:47:06,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang construction time and all the permitting will take probably a year.

1974
01:47:06,670 --> 01:47:10,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So mas mabilis po sana na i-augment na lang natin ulit yung nawala naming pondo

1975
01:47:10,530 --> 01:47:13,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na in-allow na kami mag-cost of care na lang.

1976
01:47:13,590 --> 01:47:17,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung mga ina-credit na namin, bigyan na lang natin sila ng mga kliyente

1977
01:47:17,630 --> 01:47:21,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi they do it very well anyway at bayaran na lang po natin yung cost of care.

1978
01:47:21,870 --> 01:47:22,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mas mabilis po yun.

1979
01:47:22,870 --> 01:47:28,890
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: There are spare capacities for every segment, for every type of vulnerable community in the private swadas.

1980
01:47:30,330 --> 01:47:36,070
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Chair, hintayin natin yung ulat tungkol doon sa na-ca-cater ng pampubliko at pampribado,

1981
01:47:36,070 --> 01:47:40,290
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kung magkano pa yung kinakailangan na pondo para ma-address.

1982
01:47:40,290 --> 01:47:44,570
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Yung gap kung meron man sa mga lugar na nangangailangan ng mga shelters.

1983
01:47:44,790 --> 01:47:52,410
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kasi marami pa rin talagang mga victim-survivors ng abuse ang mga nangailangan ng mga temporary shelters

1984
01:47:52,410 --> 01:47:58,870
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para meron silang ligtas na espasyo para makapagpagaling at matulungan tungo sa recovery.

1985
01:47:59,470 --> 01:48:04,850
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayon naman, nais kong magtanong sa Council for the Welfare of Children.

1986
01:48:05,670 --> 01:48:08,790
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kung mamarapatin ng ating Mr. Chair at ng Secretary.

1987
01:48:09,450 --> 01:48:10,270
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Atungkol ho ito.

1988
01:48:10,290 --> 01:48:14,410
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ito sa implementation ng Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act.

1989
01:48:15,190 --> 01:48:17,290
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ano ko ang status ng implementation ito?

1990
01:48:17,370 --> 01:48:23,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, again, let me be the one to answer if I can for our attached agencies.

1991
01:48:23,470 --> 01:48:30,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I will not be answering for NAPC, PCUP, and NCSC for the record because they're merely supervised agencies.

1992
01:48:30,770 --> 01:48:32,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Their executive directors will do so.

1993
01:48:32,750 --> 01:48:40,150
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, itong usapin na ito naging napakainit dahil nga sa mga state ng mga pangyayari na hindi natin lahat ginugusto.

1994
01:48:40,290 --> 01:48:44,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's being implemented, pero there's room for improvement.

1995
01:48:44,830 --> 01:48:46,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi pa siya fully na i-implement.

1996
01:48:46,510 --> 01:48:50,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kaya nga pagdating sa panawagan para ibaba yung minimum age of criminal liability,

1997
01:48:50,750 --> 01:48:54,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sinabi na namin for the record na hindi kami sang-ayon dahil hindi pa natin na fully implement.

1998
01:48:55,290 --> 01:48:58,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Case in point, una po, kulang ho yung mga Bahay Pag-asa.

1999
01:48:58,910 --> 01:49:03,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: These bahay pag-asas that were tasked na itayo sa mga highly urbanized cities at mga provinces,

2000
01:49:03,930 --> 01:49:04,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi pa ho natatayo.

2001
01:49:05,410 --> 01:49:09,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Second, last year during the budget hearing, naluwabas na rin ho ito.

2002
01:49:09,310 --> 01:49:13,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And that's why we innovated na kung hindi kaya ng mga lokal na pamalaan,

2003
01:49:13,790 --> 01:49:15,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: magtayo tayo ng mga regional bahay pag-asa.

2004
01:49:16,170 --> 01:49:18,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: You gave us a budget for five, a startup capital.

2005
01:49:19,330 --> 01:49:21,390
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We are waiting for the SARO release.

2006
01:49:21,930 --> 01:49:25,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero ready na ho kami to create those, to build those bahay pag-asa.

2007
01:49:25,770 --> 01:49:27,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But again, baka sabihin nyo ang tagal.

2008
01:49:28,510 --> 01:49:36,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The cost of care will also allow us to divert some of our clients to CICL private facilities.

2009
01:49:37,430 --> 01:49:38,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meron po niyan.

2010
01:49:38,450 --> 01:49:39,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: In fact, they do it.

2011
01:49:39,310 --> 01:49:45,150
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, unfortunately, the JJWA hasn't fully been implemented,

2012
01:49:45,310 --> 01:49:48,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lalong-lalo na pagdating doon sa aspeto na giving them a second chance.

2013
01:49:49,090 --> 01:49:50,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The restorative justice part of it.

2014
01:49:52,250 --> 01:49:56,070
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair, sa posisyon ng DSWD

2015
01:49:56,070 --> 01:50:02,890
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: na magkaroon ng buong-buo na implementation ng Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act.

2016
01:50:03,290 --> 01:50:06,150
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Matugunan yung mga gaps, mabigyan ng mga pondo

2017
01:50:06,150 --> 01:50:09,150
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ang mga kinakailangan na facilities at services.

2018
01:50:09,310 --> 01:50:18,310
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At gayon din sa posisyon ng pagtutol sa pagpapababa ng minimum age of criminal responsibility.

2019
01:50:18,590 --> 01:50:20,910
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Na posisyon din ng representasyon na ito.

2020
01:50:21,270 --> 01:50:25,090
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaugnay niyan, Mr. Chair, mahingi po tayo sa DSWD:

2021
01:50:25,750 --> 01:50:32,630
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ano po yung mga priority doon sa mga gaps na dapat nating pondohan with urgency and necessity for the next year?

2022
01:50:33,350 --> 01:50:34,150
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: And then, next.

2023
01:50:34,150 --> 01:50:38,790
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Gusto ko pong magtanong in particular dito sa AgriCamp facility

2024
01:50:39,310 --> 01:50:40,710
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Na tinatayo sa Palawan.

2025
01:50:41,530 --> 01:50:42,770
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Natapos na po ba ito?

2026
01:50:44,190 --> 01:50:49,830
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At bakit po napili na lokasyon ang current location nito?

2027
01:50:50,190 --> 01:50:51,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Una po, binigay po kasi yung lupa.

2028
01:50:51,870 --> 01:50:54,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nandun yung Bucor na property, yung sa Iwahig.

2029
01:50:54,810 --> 01:50:56,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Napakalaki po ng kanilang lote.

2030
01:50:56,970 --> 01:50:58,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And di ba, kung matatandan po natin, Mr. Chair,

2031
01:50:58,990 --> 01:51:02,410
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang magmamanage naman ng AgriCamp sa batas ay yung Bucor.

2032
01:51:02,730 --> 01:51:06,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, doon nilagay para malapit na sa kanilang existing operations

2033
01:51:06,590 --> 01:51:08,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at napakalawak ng kanilang lupa.

2034
01:51:09,310 --> 01:51:14,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, binigay po nila yung parasela sa atin at ongoing po yung construction.

2035
01:51:14,530 --> 01:51:17,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Admittedly, nagkaroon lang po kami ng konting hiccup na tigil ng konti.

2036
01:51:17,950 --> 01:51:20,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero, we're now in the process of jump-starting again.

2037
01:51:20,610 --> 01:51:21,330
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ano po yung mga hiccup?

2038
01:51:21,690 --> 01:51:26,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number one, meron pong mga informal settlers na kailangan namin siguraduhin

2039
01:51:26,570 --> 01:51:30,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na ang kanilang mga karapatan ay hindi namin na va-violate

2040
01:51:30,610 --> 01:51:32,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi meron pong nakatira doon sa property ng Bucor.

2041
01:51:33,470 --> 01:51:37,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And pangalawa, we made sure rin na sumusunod kami sa mga environmental standards

2042
01:51:37,610 --> 01:51:39,290
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na naka-prescribe.

2043
01:51:39,310 --> 01:51:42,290
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Dahil alam naman natin, napaka-sensitive pagdating sa Palawan.

2044
01:51:45,240 --> 01:51:48,260
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi lang, Mr. Chair, sa environmental standards.

2045
01:51:48,400 --> 01:51:52,480
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero gusto ko hong matanong kung meron bang standards na naset

2046
01:51:52,480 --> 01:51:59,700
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ang DSWD, ang CWC, ang JJWC, pagdating doon sa mismong location.

2047
01:52:00,620 --> 01:52:03,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang concern po natin, sinabi nyo naman po, hindi ito pinili,

2048
01:52:03,880 --> 01:52:08,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: kundi ibinigay at Bucor ang nag-identify

2049
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:11,460
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: at hindi po DSWD at CWC.

2050
01:52:11,480 --> 01:52:14,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang concern lang po namin, nabangkit nyo na rin yung proximity

2051
01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:20,500
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: doon sa existing population sa iwahig prison and penal farm.

2052
01:52:20,760 --> 01:52:24,860
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nababahala po kami na yung mismong location

2053
01:52:24,860 --> 01:52:29,480
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ay mas mataas na yung risk para sa stigma at discrimination

2054
01:52:29,480 --> 01:52:32,800
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: na maaaring maranasan ng mga convicted children

2055
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:37,380
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: na mag-undertake ng rehabilitation doon sa area.

2056
01:52:37,780 --> 01:52:39,440
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: So yun po ang aming pangunahing concern.

2057
01:52:39,440 --> 01:52:41,460
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya namin tinatanong kung meron ba,

2058
01:52:41,460 --> 01:52:44,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: baka yung particular standards as regards choosing the location.

2059
01:52:45,120 --> 01:52:48,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: First, let me just, again, baka hindi ko nalinaw na mabuti,

2060
01:52:48,860 --> 01:52:51,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang desisyon na yun ay joint decision ng DSWD,

2061
01:52:51,460 --> 01:52:55,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng DOJ, BuCor, as well as nandoon ho yung JJWC.

2062
01:52:55,980 --> 01:52:58,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Personally, ako nakapunta na ho ako doon sa property.

2063
01:52:58,580 --> 01:53:00,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Una, maganda ho siya, kaaya-aya ho siya.

2064
01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:03,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The setting kasi of an agri-camp has to be an open expanse.

2065
01:53:04,040 --> 01:53:06,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi yun man ho natin siya pwede ilagay sa limit.

2066
01:53:06,560 --> 01:53:09,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Okay, for the record, 50 years later,

2067
01:53:09,740 --> 01:53:11,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: wala pa rin hong agri-camp ang bansa natin.

2068
01:53:11,500 --> 01:53:15,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So this is the first time, admittedly, na magtatayo na tayo ng AgriCamp.

2069
01:53:15,600 --> 01:53:17,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We've been violating that law over and over again.

2070
01:53:18,380 --> 01:53:24,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nakakatawa nga ho, nire-refer dapat ng mga judge sa mga agri-camp,

2071
01:53:24,380 --> 01:53:26,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero wala naman ang agri-camp ng bansa.

2072
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:29,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So in the end, mas nakakatakot yun ang nangyayari ngayon,

2073
01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:33,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na nalalagay sila sa mga pasilidad na hindi naman dapat na natatagpuan yung mga kabataan natin.

2074
01:53:34,480 --> 01:53:36,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So one, it was a joint decision.

2075
01:53:36,260 --> 01:53:41,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Two, let me assure you na yung dati naming undersecretary at yung current namin na undersecretary,

2076
01:53:41,960 --> 01:53:43,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na mga colleagues rin natin dito,

2077
01:53:43,840 --> 01:53:46,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pinuntahan rin nila yun bago kami nag-sign off.

2078
01:53:46,140 --> 01:53:50,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Si former undersecretary Villar and current undersecretary Dimaporo.

2079
01:53:50,600 --> 01:53:52,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Lahat po yan, palahat kami pinuntahan namin.

2080
01:53:52,980 --> 01:53:55,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Maganda ho yung lugar, kaaya-aya.

2081
01:53:55,500 --> 01:53:57,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And ma'am, if I can give you the picture,

2082
01:53:57,660 --> 01:53:59,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sobrang laki nung property ng Iwahig.

2083
01:54:00,160 --> 01:54:02,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Napakalayo rin niya kung nasaan yung main Iwahig.

2084
01:54:03,060 --> 01:54:05,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nasa peripheral siya, it's a mountainous area,

2085
01:54:05,660 --> 01:54:07,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: perfect for an agriculture setting.

2086
01:54:08,100 --> 01:54:10,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we assure you na meron ho kaming pag-aaral dyan.

2087
01:54:11,460 --> 01:54:14,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Standards naman, hindi ho yan lalagpas sa department,

2088
01:54:14,320 --> 01:54:16,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lalo na sa standards department namin,

2089
01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:20,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: if the designs weren't meant to be restorative,

2090
01:54:20,500 --> 01:54:24,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: rehabilitative, with a dream later on for reintegration.

2091
01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:27,380
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat ho.

2092
01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:29,640
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Abukad sa nabanggit ko na na-concern,

2093
01:54:29,920 --> 01:54:34,040
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: yung tungkol din sa lapit niya sa maaring mga families, relatives,

2094
01:54:34,040 --> 01:54:36,920
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: na bibisita dun sa mga convicted children.

2095
01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:39,020
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Dahil ito ay nasa malayong lugar,

2096
01:54:39,960 --> 01:54:41,440
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: patuloy natin hong babantayan,

2097
01:54:41,460 --> 01:54:42,380
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Chair,

2098
01:54:42,520 --> 01:54:46,180
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: at kung pwede rin mag-schedule ang ating sariling committee

2099
01:54:46,180 --> 01:54:49,440
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: for the welfare of children ng bagong ocular inspection

2100
01:54:49,440 --> 01:54:52,240
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para tignan yung mga developments dun sa area.

2101
01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:54,820
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At kung maaari, huwag na ho nating isama

2102
01:54:54,820 --> 01:54:57,100
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: kasi lagi ho, pag nakikita ko sa mga statements,

2103
01:54:57,220 --> 01:55:01,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: nakadikit ho yung construction ng agri-camp dun sa pangalan ng Iwahig.

2104
01:55:02,080 --> 01:55:06,180
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Again, yung risk po ng stigma at discrimination dahil dito.

2105
01:55:06,380 --> 01:55:07,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Well noted, Mr. Chairman.

2106
01:55:07,540 --> 01:55:09,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Just as a point of information though,

2107
01:55:09,460 --> 01:55:11,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: isa to sa marami na ini-envision,

2108
01:55:11,460 --> 01:55:14,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: meaning hindi naman ito yung isa lang,

2109
01:55:14,800 --> 01:55:15,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na una lang talaga.

2110
01:55:16,340 --> 01:55:18,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And the dream is to build one in Luzon,

2111
01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:19,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: build one in Mindanao,

2112
01:55:19,900 --> 01:55:21,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: even if Palawan's in Luzon,

2113
01:55:21,720 --> 01:55:23,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero mas malapit rin siya sa proximity ng Visayas,

2114
01:55:24,280 --> 01:55:25,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para nga ho sa accessibility ng mga pamilya.

2115
01:55:26,480 --> 01:55:27,380
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat.

2116
01:55:27,880 --> 01:55:29,620
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At tungkol naman, Mr. Chair,

2117
01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:33,320
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: sa implementation ng Expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act,

2118
01:55:33,920 --> 01:55:37,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: lahat ba ng LGUs ay nakapagbibigay ng monthly cash subsidy

2119
01:55:37,900 --> 01:55:40,300
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para sa low-income solo parents?

2120
01:55:40,300 --> 01:55:41,400
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: May rekomendasyon bang,

2121
01:55:41,460 --> 01:55:42,320
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ng DSWD

2122
01:55:42,600 --> 01:55:44,160
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para yung mga hindi pa nako-cover

2123
01:55:44,160 --> 01:55:46,440
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ay makabenefisyo mula sa batas na ito?

2124
01:55:47,020 --> 01:55:47,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman,

2125
01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:49,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: if my recollection serves me right,

2126
01:55:49,360 --> 01:55:52,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it's the fund availability line is in that law.

2127
01:55:52,840 --> 01:55:54,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So talagang alam rin natin,

2128
01:55:54,280 --> 01:55:55,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: may mga local government units tayo

2129
01:55:55,980 --> 01:55:58,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na hirap to fund that mandate.

2130
01:55:58,880 --> 01:56:00,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nakakalungkot man isipin,

2131
01:56:00,340 --> 01:56:03,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero meron talaga mga LGU na hindi pa nagko-comply.

2132
01:56:04,380 --> 01:56:05,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We are pushing them,

2133
01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:06,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we are monitoring them,

2134
01:56:06,960 --> 01:56:09,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero kung mabibisita natin yun,

2135
01:56:09,780 --> 01:56:11,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi funding allocation kasi,

2136
01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:13,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: depends on the fund availability sa LGUs.

2137
01:56:14,240 --> 01:56:18,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So this is the number: of the total 1,658,

2138
01:56:18,220 --> 01:56:21,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 478 lamang ang mga nagko-comply.

2139
01:56:21,540 --> 01:56:23,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ito yung mga highly urbanized cities

2140
01:56:23,080 --> 01:56:25,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at mga component cities na first class.

2141
01:56:25,900 --> 01:56:29,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we really want to ask Congress to look into it

2142
01:56:29,280 --> 01:56:31,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na baka ho matulungan natin itong mga LGUs na ito

2143
01:56:31,620 --> 01:56:33,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or to somehow make it a priority.

2144
01:56:34,600 --> 01:56:35,860
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa tamang oras, Mr. Chair,

2145
01:56:35,920 --> 01:56:37,960
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: magpapropose ho tayo ng special provision

2146
01:56:37,960 --> 01:56:39,740
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para matiyak na may pondo

2147
01:56:39,740 --> 01:56:40,960
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: kahit po mauna natin,

2148
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:41,880
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: yung mga LGUs,

2149
01:56:42,180 --> 01:56:43,980
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: 3rd, 4th, at 5th class municipalities

2150
01:56:43,980 --> 01:56:45,980
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para sa monthly cash subsidy

2151
01:56:45,980 --> 01:56:48,420
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para sa mga low-income solo parents.

2152
01:56:48,580 --> 01:56:49,640
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayon naman bilang panghuli,

2153
01:56:49,980 --> 01:56:51,140
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: magkano ho ang pondo

2154
01:56:51,140 --> 01:56:53,420
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para sa child development centers,

2155
01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:54,740
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: child minding centers,

2156
01:56:54,940 --> 01:56:57,060
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: at supervised neighborhood play?

2157
01:56:57,440 --> 01:56:58,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, I don't know

2158
01:56:58,420 --> 01:57:00,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because hindi na po sa amin

2159
01:57:00,100 --> 01:57:02,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang ECCD child minding.

2160
01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:04,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nung dumating ako sa department,

2161
01:57:04,380 --> 01:57:05,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: inalis po sa amin,

2162
01:57:05,240 --> 01:57:06,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nilagay sa DepEd,

2163
01:57:06,660 --> 01:57:08,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and then later on sa DILG.

2164
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:09,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Unfortunately, I don't have access

2165
01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:09,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to that information

2166
01:57:09,960 --> 01:57:11,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or I don't know that information.

2167
01:57:11,040 --> 01:57:13,300
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Okay, pero meron ho kayong

2168
01:57:13,300 --> 01:57:15,080

2169
01:57:15,080 --> 01:57:16,840
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: and policies na pinapatupad.

2170
01:57:18,540 --> 01:57:20,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pwedeng masumite sa committee na ito?

2171
01:57:20,600 --> 01:57:22,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, hindi po sa amin na

2172
01:57:22,720 --> 01:57:23,540

2173
01:57:23,540 --> 01:57:25,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na sa ECCD Council na po.

2174
01:57:25,380 --> 01:57:26,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang natira na lang ho sa amin

2175
01:57:26,480 --> 01:57:27,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung universal feeding

2176
01:57:27,500 --> 01:57:28,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng mga daycare centers,

2177
01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:30,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the nutritional side of it.

2178
01:57:30,340 --> 01:57:31,920
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Okay, so niisa ho sa mga ito

2179
01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:35,000
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ay wala hong pondo ang DSWD?

2180
01:57:35,260 --> 01:57:36,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Because, Mr. Chair,

2181
01:57:36,620 --> 01:57:37,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: inalis na po sa amin

2182
01:57:37,640 --> 01:57:38,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung mandate na yun.

2183
01:57:38,820 --> 01:57:40,160
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Alright, maraming salamat ho.

2184
01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:40,940

2189
01:57:47,020 --> 01:57:48,360

2194
01:58:01,980 --> 01:58:04,240
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Ito po ay hindi naman katanungan.

2195
01:58:04,780 --> 01:58:06,080
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: I just want to commend

2196
01:58:06,080 --> 01:58:07,880

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: on my part

2199
01:58:19,170 --> 01:58:21,350
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: as a district representative.

2200
01:58:22,850 --> 01:58:25,850
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: I'm helping DSWD.

2201
01:58:25,990 --> 01:58:27,370
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Yung mga buildings na yan,

2202
01:58:27,910 --> 01:58:28,970

2203
01:58:28,970 --> 01:58:31,110

01:58:31,110 --> 01:58:32,130
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: ng congressman.

2205
01:58:32,530 --> 01:58:33,830
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Pagawa tayo ng mga buildings

2206
01:58:33,830 --> 01:58:37,270
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: for the [unclear].

2207
01:58:37,710 --> 01:58:39,110
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: So kulang pa,

2208
01:58:39,430 --> 01:58:40,670
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: but at least nasimula na.

2209
01:58:40,670 --> 01:58:42,370
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: May natapos na akong

2210
01:58:42,370 --> 01:58:43,710
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: isang building

2211
01:58:43,710 --> 01:58:45,450
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: for a certain program.

2212
01:58:45,710 --> 01:58:46,750
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Ngayon may dagdag naman akong

2213
01:58:46,750 --> 01:58:47,510
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: dalawang building

2214
01:58:47,510 --> 01:58:48,690
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: for DSWD.

2215
01:58:49,170 --> 01:58:50,050
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Para hindi na masakit

2216
01:58:50,050 --> 01:58:50,570
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: yung ulo mo.

2217
01:58:51,850 --> 01:58:53,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

2218
01:58:55,950 --> 01:58:58,070
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: My question now is about

2219
01:58:58,070 --> 01:58:59,270
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: hindi naman question,

2220
01:58:59,390 --> 01:59:00,190
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: qualification lang.

2221
01:59:00,330 --> 01:59:01,490
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Itong social pension

2222
01:59:01,490 --> 01:59:04,390
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: for senior citizen.

2223
01:59:05,670 --> 01:59:06,410
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Yung sabi,

2224
01:59:06,510 --> 01:59:07,810
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: age-based na siya.

2225
01:59:08,670 --> 01:59:10,230
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: So, kasi alam natin

2226
01:59:10,230 --> 01:59:10,710
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: maraming

2227
01:59:10,710 --> 01:59:11,650
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: maraming

2228
01:59:11,650 --> 01:59:12,210
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: social pension.

2229
01:59:12,370 --> 01:59:13,210
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Seniors, no?

2230
01:59:13,530 --> 01:59:14,530
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: All over the country,

2231
01:59:14,650 --> 01:59:15,930
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: mga 12 million yata eh.

2232
01:59:16,450 --> 01:59:18,410
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: But dito sa DSWD,

2233
01:59:18,510 --> 01:59:18,810
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: ano lang,

2234
01:59:18,930 --> 01:59:20,290
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: mga 4 million?

2235
01:59:21,130 --> 01:59:21,670
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: 4 million?

2236
01:59:21,810 --> 01:59:22,830
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: 4.2, Mr. Chairman.

2237
01:59:22,850 --> 01:59:23,850
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: 4.2 million.

2238
01:59:24,470 --> 01:59:24,670
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: So,

2239
01:59:25,510 --> 01:59:27,710
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: paano ba ito

2240
01:59:27,710 --> 01:59:30,170
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: 70 years old?

2241
01:59:30,890 --> 01:59:32,070
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Yun ang my priority.

2242
01:59:32,250 --> 01:59:33,510
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: 70 years old and above.

2243
01:59:34,470 --> 01:59:35,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman,

2244
01:59:35,370 --> 01:59:35,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: again,

2245
01:59:35,870 --> 01:59:37,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we've always been lobbying

2246
01:59:37,310 --> 01:59:38,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for a full coverage.

2247
01:59:39,110 --> 01:59:40,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Na sana lahat na lang sila.

2248
01:59:40,910 --> 01:59:42,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi when we talk to our

2249
01:59:42,090 --> 01:59:42,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: seniors,

2250
01:59:42,370 --> 01:59:43,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: they truly deserve it.

2251
01:59:44,470 --> 01:59:45,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But unfortunately,

2252
01:59:45,230 --> 01:59:46,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because of tight fiscal space,

2253
01:59:46,810 --> 01:59:47,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: laging ito lang

2254
01:59:47,490 --> 01:59:48,390
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung napoprovide.

2255
01:59:48,910 --> 01:59:49,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, in the order of

2256
01:59:49,810 --> 01:59:50,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: prioritization,

2257
01:59:50,610 --> 01:59:51,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang una natin ginagawa,

2258
01:59:52,370 --> 01:59:52,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: inaalis,

2259
01:59:52,970 --> 01:59:53,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because the law said,

2260
01:59:53,950 --> 01:59:54,830
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pagka-pensioner ka na

2261
01:59:54,830 --> 01:59:55,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng SSS,

2262
01:59:55,790 --> 01:59:56,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: GSIS,

2263
01:59:56,770 --> 01:59:57,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or yung

2264
01:59:57,230 --> 01:59:59,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: PVAO,

2265
02:00:00,270 --> 02:00:01,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: aalisin na ho kayo

2266
02:00:01,530 --> 02:00:02,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and sometimes doon ho

2267
02:00:02,590 --> 02:00:03,390
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sumasama yung loob

2268
02:00:03,390 --> 02:00:04,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng mga senior citizen

2269
02:00:04,230 --> 02:00:05,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi ang liit na nga

2270
02:00:05,090 --> 02:00:06,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nung pension na yun

2271
02:00:06,350 --> 02:00:07,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and they don't know na

2272
02:00:07,470 --> 02:00:08,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nadi-disqualify sila

2273
02:00:08,930 --> 02:00:09,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because of that.

2274
02:00:10,570 --> 02:00:11,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So marami kaming grievance

2275
02:00:11,850 --> 02:00:12,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because akala nila

2276
02:00:12,790 --> 02:00:13,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: qualified sila

2277
02:00:13,530 --> 02:00:14,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero pagsilip namin

2278
02:00:14,490 --> 02:00:15,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa SSS

2279
02:00:15,130 --> 02:00:15,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nandun sila.

2280
02:00:16,650 --> 02:00:17,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pangalawa,

2281
02:00:17,770 --> 02:00:19,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para to make it fair,

2282
02:00:19,990 --> 02:00:21,170
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: what we did was age-based.

2283
02:00:21,290 --> 02:00:22,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 90 years old

2284
02:00:22,210 --> 02:00:23,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or 100 years old

2285
02:00:23,130 --> 02:00:23,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pa baba.

2286
02:00:24,210 --> 02:00:24,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi nga,

2287
02:00:25,010 --> 02:00:26,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: malaki yung catchment,

2288
02:00:26,630 --> 02:00:27,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: inuna na ho natin

2289
02:00:27,490 --> 02:00:28,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung mas matatanda

2290
02:00:28,370 --> 02:00:30,390
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na talagang kailangan

2291
02:00:30,390 --> 02:00:30,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na kailangan.

2292
02:00:31,890 --> 02:00:32,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At the onset,

2293
02:00:32,770 --> 02:00:33,970
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: dahil nga sa CBMS law,

2294
02:00:34,070 --> 02:00:34,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kinukuha lang namin yun

2295
02:00:34,990 --> 02:00:36,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na sa loob ng CBMS

2296
02:00:36,270 --> 02:00:37,150
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi yun ang sabi

2297
02:00:37,150 --> 02:00:37,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng batas po.

2298
02:00:37,990 --> 02:00:38,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: In fact,

2299
02:00:38,670 --> 02:00:39,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: makukuha nga kami

2300
02:00:39,530 --> 02:00:40,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pag hindi.

2301
02:00:40,750 --> 02:00:41,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero later on,

2302
02:00:41,410 --> 02:00:43,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: upon talking to PSA,

2303
02:00:43,690 --> 02:00:44,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: admittedly,

2304
02:00:44,290 --> 02:00:44,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: may mga matanda

2305
02:00:44,990 --> 02:00:45,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na hindi nasama

2306
02:00:45,770 --> 02:00:46,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa CBMS.

2307
02:00:47,810 --> 02:00:49,150
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So ang ginawa na lang natin,

2308
02:00:49,570 --> 02:00:50,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pag wala ka sa CBMS,

2309
02:00:51,110 --> 02:00:52,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yun yung proseso

2310
02:00:52,010 --> 02:00:53,150
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na may mga waitlists

2311
02:00:53,150 --> 02:00:53,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: galing sa mga

2312
02:00:53,710 --> 02:00:54,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: local government units.

2313
02:00:55,730 --> 02:00:57,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Papadala namin sa PSA,

2314
02:00:57,110 --> 02:00:57,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sasabihin namin,

2315
02:00:57,730 --> 02:00:58,170
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: una,

2316
02:00:58,350 --> 02:00:59,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nasa birth registry nyo ba to?

2317
02:01:00,090 --> 02:01:00,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At sana wala sila

2318
02:01:00,990 --> 02:01:01,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa death registry.

2319
02:01:02,550 --> 02:01:03,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So meaning,

2320
02:01:03,650 --> 02:01:04,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: matanda to,

2321
02:01:04,870 --> 02:01:05,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at buhay pa to,

2322
02:01:06,210 --> 02:01:07,330
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: wala lang sa CBMS.

2323
02:01:07,630 --> 02:01:08,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So kung nandun na sa list

2324
02:01:08,770 --> 02:01:09,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng LGU

2325
02:01:09,490 --> 02:01:11,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at nasa birth registry ka,

2326
02:01:11,450 --> 02:01:12,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: wala ka sa death registry,

2327
02:01:12,690 --> 02:01:13,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: may edad ka na,

2328
02:01:13,850 --> 02:01:15,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pinapasok rin ho namin yun.

2329
02:01:17,550 --> 02:01:20,730
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: I joined your observation

2330
02:01:21,290 --> 02:01:22,650
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: na yung CBMS kasi

2331
02:01:22,650 --> 02:01:23,730
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: maraming naligtaan

2332
02:01:24,330 --> 02:01:25,670
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: during the

2333
02:01:25,670 --> 02:01:26,730
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: survey.

2334
02:01:27,730 --> 02:01:29,330
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Conducted by PSA.

2335
02:01:29,950 --> 02:01:30,930
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Alam naman natin

2336
02:01:30,930 --> 02:01:32,330
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: na kulang yung mga tao nila.

2337
02:01:32,890 --> 02:01:33,950
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: So they relied on

2338
02:01:33,950 --> 02:01:35,170
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: barangay health workers

2339
02:01:35,170 --> 02:01:37,010
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: papunta pa ikot-ikot.

2340
02:01:38,310 --> 02:01:38,770
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Ayun,

2341
02:01:38,890 --> 02:01:40,770
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: so mga 20% siguro

2342
02:01:40,770 --> 02:01:41,470
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: naligtaan.

2343
02:01:41,930 --> 02:01:42,770
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: So I hope

2344
02:01:42,770 --> 02:01:43,970
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: with your good

2345
02:01:43,970 --> 02:01:44,490
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: good secretary

2346
02:01:44,490 --> 02:01:46,150
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: can intervene

2347
02:01:46,150 --> 02:01:48,350
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: para maibalik

2348
02:01:48,350 --> 02:01:48,850
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: yung mga

2349
02:01:48,850 --> 02:01:51,110
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: nawala na senior citizen.

2350
02:01:51,470 --> 02:01:51,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Okay.

2351
02:01:53,130 --> 02:01:53,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So chairman,

2352
02:01:53,890 --> 02:01:54,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kaya naglabas kami

2353
02:01:54,570 --> 02:01:55,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng bagong panukala

2354
02:01:55,430 --> 02:01:56,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng on-demand.

2355
02:01:56,770 --> 02:01:57,550
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So mga LGU,

2356
02:01:57,730 --> 02:01:58,330
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sinabi sa amin,

2357
02:01:58,450 --> 02:01:59,390
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: oh may matanda dito,

2358
02:01:59,490 --> 02:02:00,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: wala sa CBMS,

2359
02:02:00,450 --> 02:02:01,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kukunin namin yun,

2360
02:02:01,870 --> 02:02:03,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: i-query namin sa PSA

2361
02:02:03,630 --> 02:02:06,150
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kung nasa birth registry,

2362
02:02:06,550 --> 02:02:07,170
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa buhay sila,

2363
02:02:07,250 --> 02:02:07,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pinanganak,

2364
02:02:07,970 --> 02:02:08,550
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: totoong tao.

2365
02:02:09,190 --> 02:02:10,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then wala dapat

2366
02:02:10,070 --> 02:02:10,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa death registry.

2367
02:02:11,310 --> 02:02:11,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ibig sabihin,

2368
02:02:11,610 --> 02:02:12,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi pa pumapanaw.

2369
02:02:12,610 --> 02:02:13,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pag pasado ka

2370
02:02:13,490 --> 02:02:14,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa dalawang litmus na yun,

2371
02:02:15,110 --> 02:02:16,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: you'll be added to the list.

02:02:26,870 --> 02:02:27,670

02:02:27,730 --> 02:02:29,730
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Sustainable Livelihood

2379
02:02:29,730 --> 02:02:30,510

2383
02:02:34,810 --> 02:02:35,790
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: paano mang isda.

2384
02:02:36,130 --> 02:02:36,570
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Hindi tayo

2385
02:02:36,570 --> 02:02:37,630
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: parang ayuda

2386
02:02:37,630 --> 02:02:38,310
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: lang palagi.

2387
02:02:38,630 --> 02:02:38,910
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: So,

2388
02:02:41,280 --> 02:02:42,580
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: gusto ko lang

2389
02:02:42,580 --> 02:02:43,260

02:02:51,780 --> 02:02:52,300
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: criteria

02:02:52,300 --> 02:02:54,140
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: for a

2398
02:02:54,140 --> 02:02:54,860
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: certain group,

2399
02:02:54,960 --> 02:02:55,700
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: ba grupo ito?

2400
02:02:55,940 --> 02:02:56,420
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Grupo.

02:02:56,960 --> 02:02:57,900
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: To avail

2402
02:02:57,900 --> 02:02:58,820
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: of that SLP.

02:02:59,080 --> 02:03:00,080
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Or...

2404
02:03:02,580 --> 02:03:03,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman,

2405
02:03:03,200 --> 02:03:03,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: first of all,

2406
02:03:04,080 --> 02:03:05,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it's allocated per region.

2407
02:03:06,500 --> 02:03:06,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then,

2408
02:03:07,080 --> 02:03:08,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang region na nag-validate,

2409
02:03:08,580 --> 02:03:09,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: tulad nung kaninang tanong

2410
02:03:09,460 --> 02:03:10,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ni Congresswoman Baronda,

2411
02:03:10,540 --> 02:03:11,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi na lang kami nag-re-rely

2412
02:03:11,640 --> 02:03:12,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa listahan

2413
02:03:12,440 --> 02:03:13,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or CBMS.

2414
02:03:13,640 --> 02:03:14,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nag-ground validation

2415
02:03:14,740 --> 02:03:15,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng SLP staff.

2416
02:03:16,100 --> 02:03:16,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: As long as poor,

2417
02:03:16,900 --> 02:03:17,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: marginalized,

2418
02:03:17,620 --> 02:03:18,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and vulnerable ka.

2419
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:19,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meron ho yung

2420
02:03:19,520 --> 02:03:20,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: individual na track,

2421
02:03:21,060 --> 02:03:22,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero mas kine-encourage

2422
02:03:22,020 --> 02:03:23,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: namin yung group track

2423
02:03:23,080 --> 02:03:24,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na ina-aggregate sila

2424
02:03:24,560 --> 02:03:25,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as informal.

2425
02:03:26,160 --> 02:03:27,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, yun lang ho

2426
02:03:27,060 --> 02:03:28,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang basic na requirement.

2427
02:03:28,280 --> 02:03:28,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: You're a poor,

2428
02:03:28,780 --> 02:03:29,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: marginalized,

2429
02:03:29,740 --> 02:03:30,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and vulnerable.

2430
02:03:31,140 --> 02:03:31,400

02:06:32,350 --> 02:06:33,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: poverty incidents.

2592
02:06:34,210 --> 02:06:35,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Alam ko yung pangamba

2593
02:06:35,190 --> 02:06:35,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng napakarami.

2594
02:06:36,150 --> 02:06:37,330
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: With the new poverty data,

2595
02:06:37,470 --> 02:06:38,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: babagsak ho

2596
02:06:38,050 --> 02:06:38,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng almost,

2597
02:06:38,870 --> 02:06:39,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: matitira na lang ho

2598
02:06:39,710 --> 02:06:40,410
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: mga 2 million

2599
02:06:40,410 --> 02:06:41,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or close to 2 million.

2600
02:06:45,470 --> 02:06:45,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yeah.

2601
02:06:48,310 --> 02:06:49,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung bilang.

2602
02:06:49,510 --> 02:06:49,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung bilang.

2603
02:06:50,690 --> 02:06:50,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But,

2604
02:06:51,050 --> 02:06:52,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in our discussions

2605
02:06:52,250 --> 02:06:52,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yesterday,

2606
02:06:52,830 --> 02:06:54,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we have to take note of

2607
02:06:54,030 --> 02:06:55,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: they made us understand

2608
02:06:55,370 --> 02:06:57,290
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: two very salient features.

2609
02:06:58,170 --> 02:06:58,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Huwag lang yung

2610
02:06:58,650 --> 02:06:59,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: top line tignan natin.

2611
02:06:59,810 --> 02:07:00,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tignan natin yung

2612
02:07:00,510 --> 02:07:01,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: buong narrative.

2613
02:07:01,550 --> 02:07:02,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang narrative,

2614
02:07:02,510 --> 02:07:03,410
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: tulad ng binanggit nyo,

2615
02:07:03,410 --> 02:07:05,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it does not factor in

2616
02:07:05,310 --> 02:07:06,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the Middle East

2617
02:07:06,510 --> 02:07:07,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: energy emergency

2618
02:07:07,790 --> 02:07:08,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and its effect

2619
02:07:08,490 --> 02:07:09,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: on the poor.

2620
02:07:09,670 --> 02:07:10,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And number two,

2621
02:07:10,910 --> 02:07:11,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: if this was the

2622
02:07:11,430 --> 02:07:12,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: poverty line,

2623
02:07:12,190 --> 02:07:13,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: napakarami na nakatungtong lang.

2624
02:07:14,030 --> 02:07:14,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Slightly above.

2625
02:07:15,570 --> 02:07:16,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's why

2626
02:07:16,090 --> 02:07:16,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: our discussion

2627
02:07:16,870 --> 02:07:18,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: went as far as

2628
02:07:18,190 --> 02:07:19,390
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ano ba yung

2629
02:07:19,390 --> 02:07:20,410
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: bagong classification

2630
02:07:20,410 --> 02:07:21,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng near poor.

2631
02:07:21,830 --> 02:07:21,970
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So,

2632
02:07:22,090 --> 02:07:23,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: wag mo tayo mangamba na

2633
02:07:23,110 --> 02:07:24,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung poor na

2634
02:07:24,230 --> 02:07:24,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: membro,

2635
02:07:24,750 --> 02:07:25,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: babagsak na.

2636
02:07:25,950 --> 02:07:26,290
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kung hindi,

2637
02:07:26,570 --> 02:07:27,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: titignan rin natin

2638
02:07:27,570 --> 02:07:28,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung bandwidth

2639
02:07:28,610 --> 02:07:29,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng near poor

2640
02:07:29,810 --> 02:07:30,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na pwedeng

2641
02:07:30,730 --> 02:07:31,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ipasok pa sa

2642
02:07:31,510 --> 02:07:32,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 4Ps.

2643
02:07:32,390 --> 02:07:32,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now,

2644
02:07:32,910 --> 02:07:33,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: when it comes to

2645
02:07:33,570 --> 02:07:33,970
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the budget,

2646
02:07:34,130 --> 02:07:34,410
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I think,

2647
02:07:34,490 --> 02:07:34,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Sherman,

2648
02:07:34,910 --> 02:07:35,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: you're referring to

2649
02:07:35,450 --> 02:07:36,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the budget of the

2650
02:07:36,070 --> 02:07:36,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 4Ps.

2651
02:07:36,950 --> 02:07:37,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The overall budget.

2652
02:07:37,810 --> 02:07:38,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The overall budget.

2653
02:07:39,130 --> 02:07:39,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: There were no

2654
02:07:39,670 --> 02:07:40,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: significant cuts.

2655
02:07:41,330 --> 02:07:41,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: There was

2656
02:07:41,990 --> 02:07:43,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: significant cut

2657
02:07:43,190 --> 02:07:44,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in the budget

2658
02:07:44,030 --> 02:07:45,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of 4Ps,

2659
02:07:45,510 --> 02:07:46,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: around 13 billion.

2660
02:07:46,850 --> 02:07:47,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But that is not

2661
02:07:47,790 --> 02:07:49,390
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: going to affect us

2662
02:07:49,390 --> 02:07:50,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in any manner

2663
02:07:50,230 --> 02:07:51,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or any form

2664
02:07:51,070 --> 02:07:51,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because

2665
02:07:51,450 --> 02:07:53,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 3.5 million pa rin ho

2666
02:07:53,530 --> 02:07:54,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung ating

2667
02:07:54,130 --> 02:07:55,170
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: target catchment.

2668
02:07:55,670 --> 02:07:55,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So,

2669
02:07:56,030 --> 02:07:56,290
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: meaning,

2670
02:07:56,710 --> 02:07:57,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: despite the

2671
02:07:57,470 --> 02:07:58,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lowering of the

2672
02:07:58,470 --> 02:07:59,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: poverty incidents,

2673
02:08:00,090 --> 02:08:01,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang focus pa rin natin

2674
02:08:01,310 --> 02:08:02,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is looking at

2675
02:08:02,030 --> 02:08:02,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the poor and the

2676
02:08:02,710 --> 02:08:03,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: near poor.

2677
02:08:03,170 --> 02:08:03,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So,

2678
02:08:03,330 --> 02:08:04,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 3.5 pa rin

2679
02:08:04,430 --> 02:08:05,170
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang ating goal.

2680
02:08:06,350 --> 02:08:07,390
Rep. JC M. Abalos: For my follow-up

2681
02:08:07,390 --> 02:08:07,990
Rep. JC M. Abalos: question po,

2682
02:08:08,030 --> 02:08:08,510
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Mr. Chair,

2683
02:08:08,990 --> 02:08:09,930
Rep. JC M. Abalos: may I inquire

2684
02:08:09,930 --> 02:08:10,570
Rep. JC M. Abalos: who determined

2685
02:08:10,570 --> 02:08:12,090
Rep. JC M. Abalos: that 3.5 million

2686
02:08:12,090 --> 02:08:13,150
Rep. JC M. Abalos: households is the

2687
02:08:13,150 --> 02:08:13,950
Rep. JC M. Abalos: appropriate number?

2688
02:08:14,250 --> 02:08:14,810
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Was this the

2689
02:08:14,810 --> 02:08:15,110
Rep. JC M. Abalos: DEPTA,

2690
02:08:15,270 --> 02:08:15,930
Rep. JC M. Abalos: the DPM,

2691
02:08:16,150 --> 02:08:16,750
Rep. JC M. Abalos: or the DBC?

2692
02:08:17,230 --> 02:08:18,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: What happened was,

2693
02:08:18,310 --> 02:08:18,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in one of the

2694
02:08:18,950 --> 02:08:19,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: meetings with the

2695
02:08:19,910 --> 02:08:20,290
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: President,

2696
02:08:21,250 --> 02:08:22,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we had a lengthy

2697
02:08:22,350 --> 02:08:22,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: discussion.

2698
02:08:23,230 --> 02:08:23,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang better na

2699
02:08:23,930 --> 02:08:24,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: tanong niya sa amin

2700
02:08:24,770 --> 02:08:24,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: was,

2701
02:08:25,150 --> 02:08:25,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: bakit ba laging

2702
02:08:25,690 --> 02:08:26,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 4.4?

2703
02:08:26,590 --> 02:08:27,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Bakit yan nakapako

2704
02:08:27,670 --> 02:08:28,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa 4.4 million?

2705
02:08:29,450 --> 02:08:30,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It is crafted

2706
02:08:30,570 --> 02:08:31,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in the Philippine

2707
02:08:31,250 --> 02:08:32,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Development Plan.

2708
02:08:32,190 --> 02:08:33,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But wala naman yan

2709
02:08:33,230 --> 02:08:34,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa IRR,

2710
02:08:34,150 --> 02:08:35,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: wala naman sa batas.

2711
02:08:35,630 --> 02:08:35,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So,

2712
02:08:35,870 --> 02:08:36,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang naging desisyon

2713
02:08:36,850 --> 02:08:37,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: together with

2714
02:08:37,470 --> 02:08:38,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Secretary Balisakan

2715
02:08:38,370 --> 02:08:39,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: who was in the room

2716
02:08:39,090 --> 02:08:40,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is to make it reflective

2717
02:08:40,130 --> 02:08:41,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of the poverty incidents.

2718
02:08:42,290 --> 02:08:43,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, kung umakyat

2719
02:08:43,030 --> 02:08:43,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung poverty incidents,

2720
02:08:44,070 --> 02:08:44,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it goes up.

2721
02:08:45,210 --> 02:08:45,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And rightfully,

2722
02:08:46,110 --> 02:08:46,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: if bumaba,

2723
02:08:46,810 --> 02:08:47,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: bababa.

2724
02:08:47,370 --> 02:08:47,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But,

2725
02:08:48,130 --> 02:08:48,410
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: again,

2726
02:08:48,510 --> 02:08:49,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: let me point out

2727
02:08:49,250 --> 02:08:50,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na ang coverage niya

2728
02:08:50,370 --> 02:08:51,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is not just the poor,

2729
02:08:51,310 --> 02:08:52,970
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but 10% above

2730
02:08:52,970 --> 02:08:54,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the poverty threshold.

2731
02:08:54,510 --> 02:08:54,970
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero yesterday,

2732
02:08:55,090 --> 02:08:55,830
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we were talking about

2733
02:08:55,830 --> 02:08:57,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: even expanding it further

2734
02:08:57,210 --> 02:08:57,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi nga,

2735
02:08:58,070 --> 02:08:58,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as pointed out

2736
02:08:58,730 --> 02:08:59,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: by the PSA,

2737
02:09:00,090 --> 02:09:01,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung concentration

2738
02:09:02,190 --> 02:09:03,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nakaangat sila

2739
02:09:03,250 --> 02:09:03,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa kahirapan

2740
02:09:03,950 --> 02:09:05,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero hindi pa sila safe.

2741
02:09:06,090 --> 02:09:07,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi nakatungtong sila

2742
02:09:07,270 --> 02:09:08,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa near poor na level.

2743
02:09:09,530 --> 02:09:10,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At any shock,

2744
02:09:10,570 --> 02:09:11,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as you pointed out,

2745
02:09:11,410 --> 02:09:12,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: like this energy emergency,

2746
02:09:13,090 --> 02:09:14,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: might bring them down.

2747
02:09:14,230 --> 02:09:15,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, social protection

2748
02:09:15,090 --> 02:09:16,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: has to be wider

2749
02:09:16,490 --> 02:09:17,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to make sure

2750
02:09:17,530 --> 02:09:18,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na yung gains natin

2751
02:09:18,590 --> 02:09:19,410

02:09:24,070 --> 02:09:25,710
Rep. JC M. Abalos: For my follow-up question po,

2757
02:09:25,910 --> 02:09:26,370
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Mr. Chair

2758
02:09:26,370 --> 02:09:27,650
Rep. JC M. Abalos: and Secretary Rex,

2759
02:09:27,770 --> 02:09:28,570
Rep. JC M. Abalos: nabanggit po kanina

2760
02:09:28,570 --> 02:09:29,510
Rep. JC M. Abalos: yung CBMS

2761
02:09:29,510 --> 02:09:31,110
Rep. JC M. Abalos: at naunawaan ko po

2762
02:09:31,110 --> 02:09:31,430
Rep. JC M. Abalos: na napakahirap

2763
02:09:31,430 --> 02:09:31,510
Rep. JC M. Abalos: na napakahirap

2764
02:09:32,190 --> 02:09:33,530
Rep. JC M. Abalos: para sa DSWD,

2765
02:09:33,950 --> 02:09:34,630
Rep. JC M. Abalos: lalong-lalo na

2766
02:09:34,630 --> 02:09:35,770
Rep. JC M. Abalos: nung nag-transition tayo

2767
02:09:35,770 --> 02:09:36,910
Rep. JC M. Abalos: from listahanan

2768
02:09:36,910 --> 02:09:37,910
Rep. JC M. Abalos: to the CBMS.

2769
02:09:38,450 --> 02:09:39,610
Rep. JC M. Abalos: And to my understanding po,

2770
02:09:39,670 --> 02:09:40,130
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Mr. Chair,

2771
02:09:40,550 --> 02:09:41,510
Rep. JC M. Abalos: the CBMS law

2772
02:09:41,510 --> 02:09:42,050
Rep. JC M. Abalos: was enacted

2773
02:09:42,050 --> 02:09:42,610
Rep. JC M. Abalos: sometime around

2774
02:09:42,610 --> 02:09:43,770
Rep. JC M. Abalos: 2018 or 2019

2775
02:09:43,770 --> 02:09:45,530
Rep. JC M. Abalos: and yung census po natin,

2776
02:09:46,050 --> 02:09:46,310
Rep. JC M. Abalos: it was,

2777
02:09:46,550 --> 02:09:47,110
Rep. JC M. Abalos: the first round

2778
02:09:47,110 --> 02:09:48,090
Rep. JC M. Abalos: was supposed to be done

2779
02:09:48,090 --> 02:09:48,810
Rep. JC M. Abalos: and accomplished

2780
02:09:48,810 --> 02:09:49,930
Rep. JC M. Abalos: last 2024.

2781
02:09:50,670 --> 02:09:52,230
Rep. JC M. Abalos: So, based on my understanding

2782
02:09:52,230 --> 02:09:53,130
Rep. JC M. Abalos: and for the enlightenment

2783
02:09:53,130 --> 02:09:53,970
Rep. JC M. Abalos: of everybody,

2784
02:09:54,590 --> 02:09:55,410
Rep. JC M. Abalos: pwede ko po malaman

2785
02:09:55,410 --> 02:09:56,870
Rep. JC M. Abalos: mula sa DSWD

2786
02:09:56,870 --> 02:09:58,390
Rep. JC M. Abalos: kung nagkakaroon pa

2787
02:09:58,390 --> 02:09:59,690
Rep. JC M. Abalos: ng maraming delays

2788
02:09:59,690 --> 02:10:00,530
Rep. JC M. Abalos: ang CBMS

2789
02:10:00,530 --> 02:10:01,710
Rep. JC M. Abalos: dahil may mga report

2790
02:10:01,710 --> 02:10:02,710
Rep. JC M. Abalos: na natapos daw siya

2791
02:10:02,710 --> 02:10:03,630
Rep. JC M. Abalos: ng 2024

2792
02:10:03,630 --> 02:10:05,930
Rep. JC M. Abalos: pero based on my appreciation

2793
02:10:05,930 --> 02:10:06,450
Rep. JC M. Abalos: of the data

2794
02:10:06,450 --> 02:10:07,490
Rep. JC M. Abalos: that I've been receiving,

2795
02:10:07,950 --> 02:10:09,110
Rep. JC M. Abalos: parang in tranches po

2796
02:10:09,110 --> 02:10:10,210
Rep. JC M. Abalos: yung completion niya.

2797
02:10:10,490 --> 02:10:11,030
Rep. JC M. Abalos: And I suppose,

2798
02:10:11,150 --> 02:10:12,030
Rep. JC M. Abalos: naapektohan po nito

2799
02:10:12,030 --> 02:10:13,330
Rep. JC M. Abalos: ang ating overall budgeting

2800
02:10:13,330 --> 02:10:14,450
Rep. JC M. Abalos: not just for the four piece

2801
02:10:14,450 --> 02:10:15,290
Rep. JC M. Abalos: but for all our

2802
02:10:15,290 --> 02:10:16,830
Rep. JC M. Abalos: social protection programs.

2803
02:10:17,310 --> 02:10:17,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman,

2804
02:10:18,190 --> 02:10:19,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the good congressman

2805
02:10:19,130 --> 02:10:19,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is correct

2806
02:10:19,630 --> 02:10:20,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in saying na

2807
02:10:20,670 --> 02:10:22,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in tranches namin

2808
02:10:22,490 --> 02:10:23,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nakukuha lagi

2809
02:10:23,450 --> 02:10:25,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung poor and near poor.

2810
02:10:27,850 --> 02:10:29,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Parang ang proseso kasi

2811
02:10:29,030 --> 02:10:30,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: they'll give it to us

2812
02:10:30,070 --> 02:10:30,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero hindi buo

2813
02:10:30,910 --> 02:10:31,550
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: so we'll ask for more.

2814
02:10:31,550 --> 02:10:31,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, we'll ask for more.

2815
02:10:31,710 --> 02:10:33,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero, Mr. Chairman,

2816
02:10:33,570 --> 02:10:34,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: rest assured,

2817
02:10:34,150 --> 02:10:35,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi naman naapektohan yung budget

2818
02:10:35,210 --> 02:10:36,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi 3.5 talaga

2819
02:10:36,490 --> 02:10:37,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung catchment

2820
02:10:37,250 --> 02:10:38,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na tinitignan namin

2821
02:10:38,130 --> 02:10:39,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for the four piece.

2822
02:10:39,710 --> 02:10:40,390
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero, yun lang nga

2823
02:10:40,390 --> 02:10:41,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang naapektohan

2824
02:10:41,110 --> 02:10:42,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is the registry time.

2825
02:10:43,130 --> 02:10:43,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kaya nga ngayon,

2826
02:10:43,870 --> 02:10:45,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as we stand right now,

2827
02:10:45,090 --> 02:10:46,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we are at 3 million

2828
02:10:46,090 --> 02:10:47,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 3 million

2829
02:10:47,350 --> 02:10:48,830
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 3 point

2830
02:10:48,830 --> 02:10:51,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 3092

2831
02:10:51,230 --> 02:10:52,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: so 3.1 million

2832
02:10:52,450 --> 02:10:53,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero may kulang pa kaming

2833
02:10:53,630 --> 02:10:54,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 400,000

2834
02:10:54,350 --> 02:10:55,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yun ang naapektohan

2835
02:10:55,270 --> 02:10:55,890
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in the sense na

2836
02:10:55,890 --> 02:10:57,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kailangan kasi i-publish

2837
02:10:57,190 --> 02:10:58,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kailangan i-validate

2838
02:10:58,250 --> 02:10:59,890
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kailangan i-community organizing

2839
02:10:59,890 --> 02:11:01,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero ang assurance muna

2840
02:11:01,690 --> 02:11:03,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: namin by end of October

2841
02:11:03,210 --> 02:11:05,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: tapos na ho

2842
02:11:05,030 --> 02:11:07,170
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang buong 3.5 million.

2843
02:11:07,350 --> 02:11:07,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We will go back

2844
02:11:07,990 --> 02:11:09,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to its original number.

2845
02:11:09,530 --> 02:11:09,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Unfortunately,

2846
02:11:10,230 --> 02:11:10,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: doon ho nangyari

2847
02:11:10,910 --> 02:11:11,410
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng epekto

2848
02:11:11,410 --> 02:11:12,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: dahil sa entrances

2849
02:11:12,490 --> 02:11:13,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: namin nakukuha

2850
02:11:13,310 --> 02:11:14,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung red enrollment

2851
02:11:14,810 --> 02:11:15,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: dahan-dahan din.

2852
02:11:17,850 --> 02:11:18,790
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Mr. Chair,

2853
02:11:19,170 --> 02:11:20,150

Rep. JC M. Abalos: four piece households

2856
02:11:23,130 --> 02:11:24,190
Rep. JC M. Abalos: what happens

2857
02:11:24,190 --> 02:11:25,290
Rep. JC M. Abalos: to a household

2858
02:11:25,290 --> 02:11:25,830
Rep. JC M. Abalos: let's say

2859
02:11:25,830 --> 02:11:27,390
Rep. JC M. Abalos: originally

02:11:27,390 --> 02:11:28,590
Rep. JC M. Abalos: identified ka

2861
02:11:28,590 --> 02:11:29,050

02:11:30,070 --> 02:11:31,570
Rep. JC M. Abalos: qualified for four piece

2864
02:11:31,570 --> 02:11:33,090
Rep. JC M. Abalos: kaso lang na waitlist

2865
02:11:33,090 --> 02:11:34,730
Rep. JC M. Abalos: dahil walang available slot

2866
02:11:34,730 --> 02:11:35,890

2868
02:11:36,790 --> 02:11:37,610

Rep. JC M. Abalos: in the CBMS.

2873
02:11:41,790 --> 02:11:42,570

2874
02:11:42,570 --> 02:11:43,210

Rep. JC M. Abalos: kung ilan pa po

2915
02:12:36,760 --> 02:12:37,580
Rep. JC M. Abalos: yung mga households

02:12:37,580 --> 02:12:38,720
Rep. JC M. Abalos: for revalidation

2917
02:12:38,720 --> 02:12:39,900
Rep. JC M. Abalos: sa PSA?

2918
02:12:40,020 --> 02:12:42,340

2919
02:12:42,340 --> 02:12:45,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 107,595.

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa CBMS

2927
02:12:52,940 --> 02:12:53,620

02:12:53,620 --> 02:12:54,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: validating them.

2929
02:12:54,840 --> 02:12:55,000
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Yes.

02:12:55,360 --> 02:12:56,400
Rep. JC M. Abalos: And Mr. Chair,

2931
02:12:56,720 --> 02:12:57,800
Rep. JC M. Abalos: based on my understanding,

2932
02:12:58,200 --> 02:13:00,240
Rep. JC M. Abalos: napakalaking bagay po

2933
02:13:00,240 --> 02:13:01,240
Rep. JC M. Abalos: yung inaccuracy

2934
02:13:01,240 --> 02:13:02,420
Rep. JC M. Abalos: and constant delays

2935
02:13:02,420 --> 02:13:03,900
Rep. JC M. Abalos: ng CBMS

2936
02:13:03,900 --> 02:13:04,940

Rep. JC M. Abalos: PSA

2938
02:13:05,940 --> 02:13:07,020
Rep. JC M. Abalos: dahil dito naapektuhan

2939
02:13:07,020 --> 02:13:08,100
Rep. JC M. Abalos: yung implementation

2940
02:13:08,100 --> 02:13:09,020
Rep. JC M. Abalos: ng DSWD

Rep. JC M. Abalos: sa kanyang mga

2942
02:13:09,620 --> 02:13:11,100
Rep. JC M. Abalos: essential programs.

2943
02:13:11,640 --> 02:13:12,900
Rep. JC M. Abalos: So may mga concerns po

2944
02:13:12,900 --> 02:13:14,060
Rep. JC M. Abalos: madalas na may mga

2945
02:13:14,060 --> 02:13:14,600
Rep. JC M. Abalos: beneficiaries

2946
02:13:14,600 --> 02:13:16,080
Rep. JC M. Abalos: na na-exclude.

2947
02:13:16,240 --> 02:13:16,720
Rep. JC M. Abalos: For example,

2948
02:13:17,460 --> 02:13:18,260
Rep. JC M. Abalos: yung mga ineligible

2949
02:13:18,260 --> 02:13:19,700
Rep. JC M. Abalos: indigent senior citizens.

2950
02:13:20,360 --> 02:13:21,420
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Minsan may mga erroneous

2951
02:13:21,420 --> 02:13:22,420
Rep. JC M. Abalos: identification po

2952
02:13:22,420 --> 02:13:23,100
Rep. JC M. Abalos: ng beneficiaries

2953
02:13:23,100 --> 02:13:24,260

Rep. JC M. Abalos: effective,

2966
02:13:36,200 --> 02:13:37,280
Rep. JC M. Abalos: and cross-matching

2967
02:13:37,280 --> 02:13:38,180
Rep. JC M. Abalos: of data

2968
02:13:38,180 --> 02:13:39,500

2970
02:13:41,340 --> 02:13:42,060
Rep. JC M. Abalos: So gusto ko lang po

2971
02:13:42,060 --> 02:13:43,560
Rep. JC M. Abalos: malaman mula sa ating

2972
02:13:43,560 --> 02:13:44,340
Rep. JC M. Abalos: ahensya kung

2973
02:13:44,340 --> 02:13:45,420
Rep. JC M. Abalos: kakailanganin po ba

2974
02:13:45,420 --> 02:13:46,220
Rep. JC M. Abalos: natin ng additional

2975
02:13:46,220 --> 02:13:46,940
Rep. JC M. Abalos: funding

2976
02:13:46,940 --> 02:13:48,220

Rep. JC M. Abalos: natin yung ating

2978
02:13:49,020 --> 02:13:49,660
Rep. JC M. Abalos: cross-matching

2979
02:13:49,660 --> 02:13:50,840
Rep. JC M. Abalos: mechanisms

2980
02:13:50,840 --> 02:13:51,520
Rep. JC M. Abalos: pagdating po

2981
02:13:51,520 --> 02:13:52,880
Rep. JC M. Abalos: with the CBMS

Rep. JC M. Abalos: at sa pag-validate po

2983
02:13:53,900 --> 02:13:55,200
Rep. JC M. Abalos: natin ng mga beneficiaries.

2984
02:13:55,740 --> 02:13:56,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Sherman,

2985
02:13:56,260 --> 02:13:56,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as in always,

2986
02:13:56,840 --> 02:13:57,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as head of agency,

2987
02:13:57,580 --> 02:13:58,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I would say we would

2988
02:13:58,320 --> 02:13:59,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: welcome additional funding

2989
02:13:59,660 --> 02:14:01,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero at this point in time

2990
02:14:01,380 --> 02:14:02,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I would rather that

2991
02:14:02,160 --> 02:14:03,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: funding goes to PSA

2992
02:14:03,620 --> 02:14:05,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi sila yung

2993
02:14:05,220 --> 02:14:06,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: source data eh.

2994
02:14:07,200 --> 02:14:07,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yesterday,

2995
02:14:07,820 --> 02:14:08,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I met with

2996
02:14:08,340 --> 02:14:09,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: USEC MAPA

2997
02:14:09,080 --> 02:14:09,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at ang

2998
02:14:09,420 --> 02:14:10,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sabi nga namin

2999
02:14:10,160 --> 02:14:10,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa kanya.

3000
02:14:10,640 --> 02:14:11,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tinanong ko rin ho yan.

3001
02:14:11,700 --> 02:14:11,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sabi ko,

3002
02:14:12,020 --> 02:14:13,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I would gladly champion

3003
02:14:13,220 --> 02:14:15,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: his cause in this hearing.

3004
02:14:16,680 --> 02:14:17,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Alam nyo,

3005
02:14:17,240 --> 02:14:17,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Sherman,

3006
02:14:18,000 --> 02:14:19,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the setup kasi

3007
02:14:19,680 --> 02:14:20,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: with PSA

3008
02:14:20,320 --> 02:14:21,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is not only are they

3009
02:14:21,220 --> 02:14:22,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the depository

3010
02:14:22,380 --> 02:14:22,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of the data,

3011
02:14:23,000 --> 02:14:23,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: they're also doing

3012
02:14:23,560 --> 02:14:24,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the national ID.

3013
02:14:25,240 --> 02:14:26,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And they clearly

3014
02:14:26,380 --> 02:14:27,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lack the manpower

3015
02:14:27,320 --> 02:14:28,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to do a lot of things

3016
02:14:28,380 --> 02:14:29,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: all at the same time.

3017
02:14:29,940 --> 02:14:30,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So can you imagine,

3018
02:14:30,880 --> 02:14:31,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: they're running

3019
02:14:31,340 --> 02:14:32,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the field work

3020
02:14:32,280 --> 02:14:33,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or data gathering

3021
02:14:33,180 --> 02:14:34,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng CBMS

3022
02:14:34,600 --> 02:14:36,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero yung mga office nila

3023
02:14:36,020 --> 02:14:37,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: gahol rin sa tao

3024
02:14:37,320 --> 02:14:38,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa pagpasok

3025
02:14:38,240 --> 02:14:39,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng national ID.

3026
02:14:39,420 --> 02:14:40,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we've seen

3027
02:14:40,500 --> 02:14:41,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the effects of it

3028
02:14:41,460 --> 02:14:42,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na nagdi-delay talaga

3029
02:14:42,620 --> 02:14:43,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: one of the tasks

3030
02:14:43,920 --> 02:14:44,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or the other.

3031
02:14:45,160 --> 02:14:45,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So I think,

3032
02:14:46,120 --> 02:14:46,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: if meron ho tayo

3033
02:14:46,880 --> 02:14:47,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sanang tulungan,

3034
02:14:47,740 --> 02:14:48,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: tulungan ho natin

3035
02:14:48,440 --> 02:14:49,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung PSA

3036
02:14:49,120 --> 02:14:50,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: by adding more staff

3037
02:14:50,400 --> 02:14:50,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for them,

3038
02:14:51,280 --> 02:14:52,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: more equipment

3039
02:14:52,140 --> 02:14:52,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for them,

3040
02:14:53,100 --> 02:14:54,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and more satellite

3041
02:14:54,160 --> 02:14:55,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: offices for them

3042
02:14:55,260 --> 02:14:55,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para yung mga

3043
02:14:55,880 --> 02:14:57,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: constituents ho natin

3044
02:14:57,140 --> 02:14:58,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi na kailan

3045
02:14:58,140 --> 02:14:59,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lumuwas kung saan-saan pa

3046
02:14:59,520 --> 02:14:59,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para lang

3047
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:07,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: magpalista at makakuha ng national ID na unti-unti na nagiging bahagi ng mainstream programming ng ating pamalaan.

3048
02:15:08,120 --> 02:15:11,100
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Thank you, Secretary. Mr. Chair, gusto ko rin pumalaman.

3049
02:15:11,600 --> 02:15:16,880
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Ang social pension budget for 2027 is at around P51.6 billion.

3050
02:15:16,880 --> 02:15:26,700
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Yet the target number of beneficiaries actually increases by about 151,775 to reach 4.24 million indigent seniors.

3051
02:15:26,700 --> 02:15:37,440
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Given that this is a statutory entitlement, can you confirm that a flat budget is sufficient to cover more beneficiaries without reducing the per-person pension amount or creating new waitlists?

3052
02:15:37,480 --> 02:15:45,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, it is not enough. Sa waitlist lang or dun sa listahan ng CBMS na pwede pa mag-qualify, that's around half a million already.

3053
02:15:45,800 --> 02:15:52,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: On top of that, sa mga LGU at katabi hunyo yung isa nating representative who's been championing universal social pension,

3054
02:15:52,080 --> 02:15:56,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I think the right way of looking at it is to add more money for social pension.

3055
02:15:56,700 --> 02:15:59,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Para ho, makover natin yung mga karapat dapat.

3056
02:16:00,680 --> 02:16:05,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang hinihingi ho namin dyan, 6.8 billion to cover only those in the CBMS.

3057
02:16:06,680 --> 02:16:10,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But if you are going to look at the waitlist sa ground, napakarami pa ho.

3058
02:16:11,860 --> 02:16:16,400
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Before I conclude my interpolation, I want to note something positive.

3059
02:16:16,980 --> 02:16:22,940
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Even if may mga budget cut po tayo sa DSWD, napansin ko po na tumaas ang ating personal services.

3060
02:16:23,120 --> 02:16:25,940
Rep. JC M. Abalos: And its share of the budget grows from 6.3 to about 8.7.

3061
02:16:26,700 --> 02:16:30,600
Rep. JC M. Abalos: And this reflects the DBM-approved enhanced structure.

3062
02:16:31,240 --> 02:16:35,540
Rep. JC M. Abalos: And does this mean na yung roughly yung mga JO po natin na city and municipal link,

3063
02:16:35,640 --> 02:16:38,180
Rep. JC M. Abalos: some of whom have served the department for over a decade,

3064
02:16:38,260 --> 02:16:41,700
Rep. JC M. Abalos: will finally transition into a more contractual or permanent position?

3065
02:16:42,440 --> 02:16:48,260
Rep. JC M. Abalos: And if so, I would like to put on record that this is a genuine win for the department

3066
02:16:48,260 --> 02:16:53,240
Rep. JC M. Abalos: dahil kinikinala po natin ang sipag ng ating mga city and municipal link.

3067
02:16:53,240 --> 02:16:56,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It is, Mr. Chairman, and we'd like to thank Congress and Senate

3068
02:16:56,360 --> 02:16:57,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for championing it.

3069
02:16:58,480 --> 02:17:06,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Dagdag na 5,000 plus na kulang-kulang 5,700 na bagong regular positions yun.

3070
02:17:06,420 --> 02:17:11,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That will go to the four-piece cluster, whether you're a social worker or a development worker,

3071
02:17:11,620 --> 02:17:15,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: with a promise kaagad na may buntot pa siyang another 5,000.

3072
02:17:17,060 --> 02:17:19,940
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair. Maraming salamat po, Secretary Rex.

3073
02:17:20,080 --> 02:17:20,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

3074
02:17:22,140 --> 02:17:23,720
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, Ko Abalos.

3075
02:17:23,720 --> 02:17:25,720
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We now recognize...

3076
02:17:26,360 --> 02:17:30,360
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

3077
02:17:31,300 --> 02:17:34,860
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Magandang umaga po sa atin lahat, distinguished colleagues,

3078
02:17:35,960 --> 02:17:37,680
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: sa ating napakasipag na sekretary.

3079
02:17:37,800 --> 02:17:39,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Hindi natin natutulog po ito eh.

3080
02:17:40,140 --> 02:17:44,180
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: I would like to express my strong appreciation

3081
02:17:44,180 --> 02:17:47,200
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: for the Department of Social Welfare and Development

02:17:47,200 --> 02:17:50,920
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: sa kanilang exemplary performance.

3083
02:17:51,120 --> 02:17:52,540
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Talaga po, totoo po ito.

3084
02:17:52,540 --> 02:17:56,080
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: At sana, lahat pati atas sa agency,

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Congratulations po sa inyo.

3087
02:17:59,360 --> 02:18:02,360
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Pwede ba i-congratulate ko rin ang aking director?

3088
02:18:02,360 --> 02:18:04,360
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: She's doing well.

3089
02:18:04,360 --> 02:18:06,360
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: At yun ang nagpapatas ng rating niyo.

3090
02:18:06,360 --> 02:18:08,360
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Kung i-rate ko kayo, sekretary,

3091
02:18:08,360 --> 02:18:10,360
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: zero to ten, nine.

3092
02:18:10,360 --> 02:18:12,360
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Excellent performance talaga po.

3093
02:18:12,360 --> 02:18:14,360
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Congratulations po.

3094
02:18:14,360 --> 02:18:19,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Time and again, Mr. Chair,

3095
02:18:19,610 --> 02:18:24,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: the DSWD serves as the frontline shield of our country,

3096
02:18:24,610 --> 02:18:26,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: reaching the most vulnerable,

3097
02:18:26,610 --> 02:18:30,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: delivering immediate relief during disasters,

3098
02:18:30,610 --> 02:18:34,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: and administering critical social safety nets

3099
02:18:34,610 --> 02:18:37,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: like PoorPeace, AICS, and ACAP.

3100
02:18:37,610 --> 02:18:40,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Your social workers and your field personnel

3101
02:18:40,610 --> 02:18:43,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: demonstrate unwavering dedication

3102
02:18:43,610 --> 02:18:46,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: to serving the Filipino people.

3103
02:18:46,610 --> 02:18:50,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: At mayroon lang po ako, sekretary, katanungan

3104
02:18:50,610 --> 02:18:52,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: and I would like to hear from you

3105
02:18:52,610 --> 02:18:55,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: para sa isang mga ating kalinawan.

3106
02:18:56,610 --> 02:18:57,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Mr. Chair,

3107
02:18:57,610 --> 02:19:00,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: sekretary, while shifting to e-wallets

3108
02:19:00,610 --> 02:19:03,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: and digital banks under initiatives like the

3109
02:19:03,610 --> 02:19:05,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: banggit mo na kanina yung AFLI program

3110
02:19:05,610 --> 02:19:07,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: and PoorPeace is commendable,

3111
02:19:07,610 --> 02:19:13,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: what percentage of DSWD's total payout volume

3112
02:19:13,610 --> 02:19:16,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: across all social assistance programs

3113
02:19:16,610 --> 02:19:20,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: is currently disbursed via fully digital channels

3114
02:19:20,610 --> 02:19:24,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: versus manual cash in-hand payouts?

3115
02:19:24,610 --> 02:19:25,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Atlat po ba?

3116
02:19:25,610 --> 02:19:28,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Ang mga programa nito ay patungo na po

3117
02:19:28,610 --> 02:19:31,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: sa digitalization ng payout?

3118
02:19:31,610 --> 02:19:33,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: May text ng text sa akin po kasi, sekretary,

3119
02:19:33,610 --> 02:19:36,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: mga mahihirap nating questions sa Bulacan.

3120
02:19:36,610 --> 02:19:40,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Paano daw natin masisiguro na ang mga binibisaryo natin

3121
02:19:40,610 --> 02:19:43,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: na walang bangko, smartphone, o internet

3122
02:19:43,610 --> 02:19:45,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: ay hindi mapag-iiwanan during payouts?

3123
02:19:45,610 --> 02:19:46,610
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

3124
02:19:46,610 --> 02:19:47,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's correct, Mr. Chairman.

3125
02:19:47,610 --> 02:19:50,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For different programs, iba-ibang strokes po.

3126
02:19:50,610 --> 02:19:52,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sa walang gutong program, it's fully digital

3127
02:19:52,610 --> 02:19:54,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi from day one, digital na yun.

3128
02:19:54,610 --> 02:19:56,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For PoorPeace, ganun din ho.

3129
02:19:56,610 --> 02:19:59,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero admittedly, doon sa social protection

3130
02:19:59,610 --> 02:20:01,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: like AICS, which bahagi ang Uplift,

3131
02:20:01,610 --> 02:20:04,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we're still in the process of doing it.

3132
02:20:04,610 --> 02:20:05,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Bakit po?

3133
02:20:05,610 --> 02:20:07,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi tulad dito sa Uplift, natuklasan namin,

3134
02:20:07,610 --> 02:20:09,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: katulad ng Pinoy in doubt nyo,

3135
02:20:09,610 --> 02:20:12,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: napakaraming mahihirap nating kababayan ng unbanked.

3136
02:20:12,610 --> 02:20:14,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Wala silang bank account.

3137
02:20:14,610 --> 02:20:17,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So dito sa Uplift, ang goal ho sana namin

3138
02:20:17,610 --> 02:20:22,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that entire 2.5 million na Group 2, sana digital na.

3139
02:20:22,610 --> 02:20:25,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero nung nag-payout ho kami for validation

3140
02:20:25,610 --> 02:20:28,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para kunin yung kanila mga GCash account or ATM accounts,

3141
02:20:28,610 --> 02:20:32,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: only 20% of them ang may mga bank account.

3142
02:20:32,610 --> 02:20:37,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we've been working with the BSP, Banko Sentral,

3143
02:20:37,610 --> 02:20:43,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: si Deputy Governor Bernard Romulo Puyat

3144
02:20:43,610 --> 02:20:46,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to make sure na on this payout sa Uplift,

3145
02:20:46,610 --> 02:20:48,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nandun na yung mga banko at GCash.

3146
02:20:48,610 --> 02:20:50,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're enrolling them already.

3147
02:20:50,610 --> 02:20:53,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nahihirapan ho kami kasi gustuhin man namin

3148
02:20:53,610 --> 02:20:54,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na mag-digital.

3149
02:20:54,610 --> 02:20:55,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tulad na na-point out nyo,

3150
02:20:55,610 --> 02:20:57,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: napakarami sa kanila ang walang banko

3151
02:20:57,610 --> 02:20:59,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at nanganganib na mapag-iwanan

3152
02:20:59,610 --> 02:21:02,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kapagka pipilitin namin yung digital oramismo.

3153
02:21:02,610 --> 02:21:03,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero sa mga darating na buwan,

3154
02:21:03,610 --> 02:21:04,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: parami ng parami na ho,

3155
02:21:04,610 --> 02:21:06,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 20% na yung may bank accounts.

3156
02:21:06,610 --> 02:21:08,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So hopefully we can get more than that 20%

3157
02:21:08,610 --> 02:21:11,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para maglipat na tayo sa digital format.

3158
02:21:11,610 --> 02:21:16,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Thank you, Mr. Chair Secretary,

3159
02:21:16,270 --> 02:21:18,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: for that response.

3160
02:21:18,270 --> 02:21:19,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Pangalawang tanong ko po,

3161
02:21:19,270 --> 02:21:20,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: so last na lang po ito,

3162
02:21:20,270 --> 02:21:21,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: regarding po doon sa

3163
02:21:21,270 --> 02:21:24,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: launch of decentralized

3164
02:21:24,270 --> 02:21:26,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: PWID database

3165
02:21:26,270 --> 02:21:28,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: with NCDA.

3166
02:21:28,270 --> 02:21:30,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: How will the DSWD

3167
02:21:30,270 --> 02:21:32,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: audit existing

3168
02:21:32,270 --> 02:21:34,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: LGU-issued PWD

3169
02:21:34,270 --> 02:21:36,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: and senior citizens' cards

3170
02:21:36,270 --> 02:21:39,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: to purge fake IDs currently exploiting

3171
02:21:39,270 --> 02:21:41,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: municipal discount benefits?

3172
02:21:41,270 --> 02:21:42,270
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

3173
02:21:42,270 --> 02:21:43,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman,

3174
02:21:43,270 --> 02:21:45,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: right now this program is being

3175
02:21:45,270 --> 02:21:46,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: thought of carefully.

3176
02:21:46,270 --> 02:21:48,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're working with the

3177
02:21:48,270 --> 02:21:50,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: LGUs actually in the BIR

3178
02:21:50,270 --> 02:21:53,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para masigurado natin seamless yung launch niya.

3179
02:21:53,270 --> 02:21:55,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meron tayong mga LGUs na nag-adapt na,

3180
02:21:55,270 --> 02:21:56,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ready na sila.

3181
02:21:56,270 --> 02:21:59,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero again, alam natin na masalimuot to

3182
02:21:59,270 --> 02:22:01,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because even in the law on the PWD ID,

3183
02:22:01,270 --> 02:22:04,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang issuing agent talaga is the LGU,

3184
02:22:04,270 --> 02:22:06,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: not the national government.

3185
02:22:06,270 --> 02:22:08,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we don't want to infringe

3186
02:22:08,270 --> 02:22:10,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in that devolved function.

3187
02:22:10,270 --> 02:22:13,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero it doesn't mean na hindi tayo gagawa ng hakbang.

3188
02:22:13,270 --> 02:22:15,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Patuloy tong programa na to,

3189
02:22:15,270 --> 02:22:16,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero tulad din sa inyo,

3190
02:22:16,270 --> 02:22:18,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we are moving with utmost caution.

3191
02:22:18,270 --> 02:22:22,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Thank you, Mr. Chair,

3192
02:22:22,220 --> 02:22:23,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Secretary,

3193
02:22:23,220 --> 02:22:25,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: for that response.

3194
02:22:25,220 --> 02:22:27,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Mr. Chairman,

3195
02:22:27,220 --> 02:22:31,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: the DSWD serves as the social conscience

3196
02:22:31,220 --> 02:22:32,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: of our government

3197
02:22:32,220 --> 02:22:34,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: by providing critical safety nets

3198
02:22:34,220 --> 02:22:36,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: to vulnerable Filipinos.

3199
02:22:36,220 --> 02:22:38,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: And within this framework,

3200
02:22:38,220 --> 02:22:41,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: the National Commission for Senior Citizens

3201
02:22:41,220 --> 02:22:43,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: stands as a cornerstone

3202
02:22:43,220 --> 02:22:45,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: in safeguarding the dignity,

3203
02:22:45,220 --> 02:22:48,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: welfare, and rights of our elderly population.

3204
02:22:48,220 --> 02:22:50,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: I therefore manifest

3205
02:22:50,220 --> 02:22:51,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: my full support

3206
02:22:51,220 --> 02:22:53,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: for the proposed budget

3207
02:22:53,220 --> 02:22:56,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: of the Department of Social Welfare and Development

3208
02:22:56,220 --> 02:22:59,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: and the National Commission for Senior Citizens.

3209
02:22:59,220 --> 02:23:00,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Kung pwede sana, Mr. Chair,

3210
02:23:00,220 --> 02:23:02,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: sa mga kasama ko rito

3211
02:23:02,220 --> 02:23:04,220

3212
02:23:04,220 --> 02:23:05,220

3213
02:23:05,220 --> 02:23:08,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: kung pwede natin dagdagang pa sana ang kanilang budget.

3214
02:23:08,220 --> 02:23:10,220

02:23:13,220 --> 02:23:15,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: mamayang may dagdag na yan.

3218
02:23:15,220 --> 02:23:17,220
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Thank you po, Mr. Chair.

3219
02:23:17,220 --> 02:23:19,220

02:23:28,220 --> 02:23:34,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Thank you po.

3225
02:23:34,860 --> 02:23:35,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Thank you, Chair.

3226
02:23:35,860 --> 02:23:40,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Meron po tayong presentation.

3227
02:23:40,860 --> 02:23:41,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ayan.

3228
02:23:41,860 --> 02:23:42,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

3229
02:23:42,860 --> 02:23:45,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So ang unang mga tanong po natin ay

3230
02:23:45,860 --> 02:23:48,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: mas may kinalaman sa national policy

3231
02:23:48,860 --> 02:23:52,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: as expressed in the DSWD budget.

3232
02:23:52,860 --> 02:23:55,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Specifically on poverty alleviation.

3233
02:23:55,860 --> 02:23:57,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So kinuha po natin yung datos

3234
02:23:57,860 --> 02:24:01,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng mga tawagin nating core ayuda programs

3235
02:24:01,860 --> 02:24:05,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng DSWD from 2016 to 2026.

3236
02:24:05,860 --> 02:24:09,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tapos nandyan din yung proposed ng 2027.

3237
02:24:09,860 --> 02:24:13,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So kasama dyan, pinagsama-sama natin yung

3238
02:24:13,860 --> 02:24:18,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa pantawid, 4Ps, AICS, at saka SLP,

3239
02:24:18,860 --> 02:24:20,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: plus also some others,

3240
02:24:20,860 --> 02:24:25,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung ayuda ACAP, yung food stamp program,

3241
02:24:25,860 --> 02:24:27,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at saka yung LITAO.

3242
02:24:27,860 --> 02:24:30,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero parang tawagin nating mas minor yung mga ngayon.

3243
02:24:30,860 --> 02:24:33,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. Anong nakita natin dito?

3244
02:24:33,860 --> 02:24:35,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Well, una, yung paglaki.

3245
02:24:35,860 --> 02:24:40,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Over a decade, 2016 to 2026.

3246
02:24:40,860 --> 02:24:45,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Noong 2016, last year of the Aquino administration,

3247
02:24:45,860 --> 02:24:49,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 73 billion yung total na ayuda sa ilalim ng DSWD.

3248
02:24:49,860 --> 02:24:53,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2026 is na 184 billion.

3249
02:24:53,860 --> 02:24:56,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tapos makikita nyo rin dun sa color coding

3250
02:24:56,860 --> 02:25:00,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung mga share ng iba't ibang programa.

3251
02:25:00,860 --> 02:25:03,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung blue, yun yung 4Ps.

3252
02:25:03,860 --> 02:25:08,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung orange, yung AICS.

3253
02:25:08,860 --> 02:25:11,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. Lipat tayo.

3254
02:25:11,860 --> 02:25:15,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: The next tab is NEP versus GAA.

3255
02:25:15,860 --> 02:25:17,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. So it's the same.

3256
02:25:17,860 --> 02:25:23,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya lang kinumpere lang natin yung NEP as against GAA over the decade.

3257
02:25:23,860 --> 02:25:25,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Anong masasabi lang natin dito?

3258
02:25:25,860 --> 02:25:30,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Na actually from 2016 to 2020...

3259
02:25:30,860 --> 02:25:32,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sorry.

3260
02:25:32,860 --> 02:25:37,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2016 to 2021,

3261
02:25:37,860 --> 02:25:43,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay more or less kung ano yung pinropose ng NEP na ayuda,

3262
02:25:43,860 --> 02:25:46,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yun din ang ina-approve ng Kongreso.

3263
02:25:47,860 --> 02:25:49,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sa GAA.

3264
02:25:49,860 --> 02:25:52,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero napansin natin from 2022,

3265
02:25:52,860 --> 02:25:55,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pagpasok huling taon ng Duterte,

3266
02:25:55,860 --> 02:25:58,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at lalo na sa ilalim ng Marcos Jr. administration,

3267
02:25:58,860 --> 02:26:06,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay naging significant yung tinatawag minsan insertions

3268
02:26:06,860 --> 02:26:08,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng Kongreso.

3269
02:26:08,860 --> 02:26:11,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pinapalaki significantly yung ayuda.

3270
02:26:11,860 --> 02:26:12,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So nakikita natin yan.

3271
02:26:12,860 --> 02:26:16,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Especially in 2024 and 2026.

3272
02:26:16,860 --> 02:26:19,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung yellow, yung nasa taas na yun,

3273
02:26:19,860 --> 02:26:21,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: that's ACAP.

3274
02:26:21,860 --> 02:26:23,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Na pinasok talaga yan ng Kongreso.

3275
02:26:23,860 --> 02:26:24,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

3276
02:26:24,860 --> 02:26:27,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Then the next tab,

3277
02:26:27,860 --> 02:26:29,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: dito yung ilang mga punto natin.

3278
02:26:29,860 --> 02:26:30,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: One,

3279
02:26:30,860 --> 02:26:33,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung total ayuda budget na covered dito

3280
02:26:33,860 --> 02:26:35,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay lumaki po, Mr. Chair,

3281
02:26:35,860 --> 02:26:39,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: by 152%.

3282
02:26:39,860 --> 02:26:45,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So 152% ang inilaki ng ayuda budget

3283
02:26:45,860 --> 02:26:47,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng DSWD.

3284
02:26:47,860 --> 02:26:49,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 73 billion 2016,

3285
02:26:49,860 --> 02:26:53,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 184 billion 2026.

3286
02:26:53,860 --> 02:26:55,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So unang tanong,

3287
02:26:55,860 --> 02:26:57,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: actually,

3288
02:26:57,860 --> 02:26:59,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: tanong sa Kongreso as much as

3289
02:26:59,860 --> 02:27:01,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: DSWD.

3290
02:27:01,860 --> 02:27:03,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Wala tayo po tayong duda na

3291
02:27:03,860 --> 02:27:05,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: especially under Secretary Gatchal Yan,

3292
02:27:05,860 --> 02:27:09,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay generally very efficient ang DSWD

3293
02:27:09,860 --> 02:27:12,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa pag-implement ng mga programang ito.

3294
02:27:12,860 --> 02:27:14,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Mas ang tanong po natin ay,

3295
02:27:14,860 --> 02:27:17,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ano ang masasabi natin

3296
02:27:17,860 --> 02:27:21,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa ganitong mahigit pagdoble

3297
02:27:21,860 --> 02:27:23,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng ayuda budget?

3298
02:27:23,860 --> 02:27:25,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi ba pinapakita nito

3299
02:27:25,860 --> 02:27:28,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung mga problema at limitasyon

3300
02:27:28,860 --> 02:27:31,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng patakaran ng poverty alleviation?

3301
02:27:31,860 --> 02:27:33,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bakit?

3302
02:27:33,860 --> 02:27:37,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil yes, may natulungang mga mahirap.

3303
02:27:37,860 --> 02:27:40,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: May mga maaaring, sabi ng DEV-DEV,

3304
02:27:40,860 --> 02:27:44,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nabawasan na raw ang bilang ng mahirap sa Pilipinas.

3305
02:27:44,860 --> 02:27:47,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Maaaring totoo, may mga nagkokontest nun,

3306
02:27:47,860 --> 02:27:50,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pero nabawasan dahil

3307
02:27:50,860 --> 02:27:53,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nakadepende sa ayuda.

3308
02:27:53,860 --> 02:27:55,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi sa trabaho,

3309
02:27:55,860 --> 02:27:58,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: hindi sa kabuhayan.

3310
02:27:58,860 --> 02:28:03,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Di po ba ganun yun? Anong masasabi ng DSWD dyan?

3311
02:28:03,860 --> 02:28:05,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman,

3312
02:28:05,860 --> 02:28:07,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the points are well taken.

3313
02:28:07,860 --> 02:28:10,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kami kasi in the department,

3314
02:28:10,860 --> 02:28:12,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we want to look at certain things,

3315
02:28:12,860 --> 02:28:14,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: if we can go back to those slides.

3316
02:28:14,860 --> 02:28:17,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For instance, yung conditional cash transfer yung 4Ps.

3317
02:28:17,860 --> 02:28:19,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Other people will call it ayuda

3318
02:28:19,860 --> 02:28:22,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: while we call it investment in human capital.

3319
02:28:22,860 --> 02:28:24,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi may condition po yan eh.

3320
02:28:24,860 --> 02:28:26,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: To the same degree, pati yung walang gutom.

3321
02:28:26,860 --> 02:28:28,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's not flat out na ibibigay sa'yo.

3322
02:28:28,860 --> 02:28:30,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now, we also know,

3323
02:28:30,860 --> 02:28:33,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: by looking at it as human development investments,

3324
02:28:33,860 --> 02:28:35,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ito ay paghahanda sa ating mga kababayan

3325
02:28:35,860 --> 02:28:38,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na matamasa yung paglago ng ekonomiya

3326
02:28:38,860 --> 02:28:41,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kung may mga bagong trabaho na malilika over the years.

3327
02:28:41,860 --> 02:28:45,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi alam natin na hindi natin mabubura ang kahirapan overnight.

3328
02:28:45,860 --> 02:28:48,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's why 4Ps is an intergenerational

3329
02:28:48,860 --> 02:28:51,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: breaking off cycle ng poverty.

3330
02:28:51,860 --> 02:28:53,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi ang mangyayari po, kung wala yan,

3331
02:28:53,860 --> 02:28:56,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: maaaring lalago ang ekonomiya pero maiiwanan yung

3332
02:28:56,860 --> 02:28:58,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ilan lang yung tatamasa nung paglago na yun.

3333
02:28:58,860 --> 02:29:01,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Because our population, a big segment of it,

3334
02:29:01,860 --> 02:29:03,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 4.4 million na nagsimula tayo,

3335
02:29:03,860 --> 02:29:05,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ay hindi ready to catch that.

3336
02:29:05,860 --> 02:29:09,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi hindi nag-aaral, kulang sa early childhood interventions.

3337
02:29:09,860 --> 02:29:11,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So kami, we would like to look at that.

3338
02:29:11,860 --> 02:29:14,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The 4Ps as a conditional cash transfer

3339
02:29:14,860 --> 02:29:17,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: more than an ayuda but rather an investment in human capital.

3340
02:29:17,860 --> 02:29:19,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now let's talk about 4Ps.

3341
02:29:19,860 --> 02:29:22,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kalahati kasi ng budget namin kaagad ng 4Ps, Mr. Chairman.

3342
02:29:22,860 --> 02:29:24,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Para kahit nakapikit kayo,

3343
02:29:24,860 --> 02:29:26,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kung binibigyan kami ng 200 billion,

3344
02:29:26,860 --> 02:29:28,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 100 billion nun kaagad sa 4Ps.

3345
02:29:28,860 --> 02:29:33,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's why inuna ko siya kasi siya yung pinakalayon share ng aming budget.

3346
02:29:33,860 --> 02:29:35,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero kung titignan niyo rin ho,

3347
02:29:35,860 --> 02:29:39,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: starting 2022, bumaba ba na yung bilang ng 4Ps?

3348
02:29:39,860 --> 02:29:43,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kanina tinalakay namin mula sa 4.4 na stagnant lang siya.

3349
02:29:43,860 --> 02:29:46,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ngayon reflective na siya sa bagong poverty incidents.

3350
02:29:46,860 --> 02:29:50,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 1.77 million na pamilya na.

3351
02:29:50,860 --> 02:29:57,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 1.77 million Filipino families has graduated out of 4Ps into self-sufficiency.

3352
02:29:57,860 --> 02:29:59,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So ibig sabihin, may tagumpay na tayo.

3353
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:01,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa kanila. Pero yung tulad

3354
02:30:01,760 --> 02:30:03,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng sinasabi ng DepDev, itong mga

3355
02:30:03,540 --> 02:30:05,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: naka-breakout, vulnerable pa rin ho sila.

3356
02:30:06,380 --> 02:30:07,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At these are the ones

3357
02:30:07,900 --> 02:30:09,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na isang shock lang. Kamatayan

3358
02:30:09,840 --> 02:30:11,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa pamilya, bagyo,

3359
02:30:12,500 --> 02:30:13,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sakit.

3360
02:30:13,660 --> 02:30:15,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It will spiral them back. Kaya nga,

3361
02:30:15,880 --> 02:30:17,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: if I were to look at this chart,

3362
02:30:18,420 --> 02:30:19,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: habang lumiliit si 4Ps,

3363
02:30:20,940 --> 02:30:21,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nadagdagdagan

3364
02:30:21,760 --> 02:30:23,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang ating ayuda program,

3365
02:30:23,680 --> 02:30:25,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because that's meant for social welfare

3366
02:30:25,700 --> 02:30:27,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or social protection in times

3367
02:30:27,900 --> 02:30:29,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of a shock. Kung

3368
02:30:29,500 --> 02:30:31,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: bibigay ho namin mamaya, meron ho kaming slide

3369
02:30:31,860 --> 02:30:33,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para ipakita yung physical number

3370
02:30:33,700 --> 02:30:35,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng mga tao na nag-avail ng AICS.

3371
02:30:36,240 --> 02:30:37,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now, Mr. Chairman, I know the good

3372
02:30:37,720 --> 02:30:40,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: gentleman will have more questions,

3373
02:30:40,180 --> 02:30:41,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but let me just say this.

3374
02:30:42,340 --> 02:30:44,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I always like ito sinasabi.

3375
02:30:44,600 --> 02:30:45,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang pangalan ho ng Departamento

3376
02:30:45,940 --> 02:30:47,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: namin, Social Welfare and

3377
02:30:47,780 --> 02:30:49,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Development. Minsan lang nga,

3378
02:30:49,560 --> 02:30:51,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: tama siya, natutuon kami sa social

3379
02:30:51,420 --> 02:30:53,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: welfare, nakakalimutan yung development.

3380
02:30:53,820 --> 02:30:55,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero we'd like to think

3381
02:30:55,500 --> 02:30:57,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that we're gradually putting more thrust in the

3382
02:30:57,540 --> 02:30:59,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: development side with hopefully

3383
02:30:59,140 --> 02:31:01,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: paliitin rin ang paliitin

3384
02:31:01,380 --> 02:31:03,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: over the years, etong red

3385
02:31:03,400 --> 02:31:04,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: part ng inyong

3386
02:31:04,460 --> 02:31:07,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: presentation.

3387
02:31:07,820 --> 02:31:09,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: While we're managing the blue part,

3388
02:31:09,580 --> 02:31:11,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: which I believe, malayo lang, hindi ko makita.

3389
02:31:11,640 --> 02:31:13,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: While managing the blue part, which is the

3390
02:31:13,340 --> 02:31:15,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 4Ps, na lumiliit na siya,

3391
02:31:16,480 --> 02:31:17,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as they graduate,

3392
02:31:18,120 --> 02:31:19,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kailangan nila ng social crutches,

3393
02:31:19,680 --> 02:31:21,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: social protection, which is AICS.

3394
02:31:22,340 --> 02:31:23,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Then hopefully, the day

3395
02:31:23,660 --> 02:31:25,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: will come na talagang malayang malaya na sila,

3396
02:31:25,800 --> 02:31:27,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: malayong malayo na sila sa

3397
02:31:27,160 --> 02:31:29,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: danger zone, at mapaliit rin.

3398
02:31:29,140 --> 02:31:30,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sabihin natin yung AICS.

3399
02:31:30,520 --> 02:31:33,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Thank you for that. Pero,

3400
02:31:33,820 --> 02:31:36,720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sabi nyo, okay, dahil

3401
02:31:36,720 --> 02:31:38,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: lumiliit yung

3402
02:31:38,800 --> 02:31:40,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 4Ps, pero

3403
02:31:40,440 --> 02:31:42,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: they graduate to near poor,

3404
02:31:42,840 --> 02:31:43,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kaya lumalaki yung AICS.

3405
02:31:44,980 --> 02:31:46,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: However, napansin din natin

3406
02:31:46,860 --> 02:31:48,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang isang trend, yung

3407
02:31:48,600 --> 02:31:50,580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: SLP, Sustainable Live Year Program.

3408
02:31:50,700 --> 02:31:52,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Supposedly, ito yung parang

3409
02:31:52,240 --> 02:31:54,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: halfway program

3410
02:31:54,780 --> 02:31:56,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa mga gagraduate,

3411
02:31:56,840 --> 02:31:58,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: diba? Pero ang nangyari din

3412
02:31:58,820 --> 02:31:59,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay lumiliit.

3413
02:32:00,580 --> 02:32:01,540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 45%,

3414
02:32:01,540 --> 02:32:03,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: over the decade,

3415
02:32:04,660 --> 02:32:06,580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: from around almost

3416
02:32:06,580 --> 02:32:08,540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 10 billion, naging halos 5,

3417
02:32:09,200 --> 02:32:10,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: less than 5 billion, or

3418
02:32:10,600 --> 02:32:11,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 6 billion ang budget.

3419
02:32:12,560 --> 02:32:13,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: How can you explain that?

3420
02:32:14,100 --> 02:32:16,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, kami hindi ko kami nagkukulang

3421
02:32:16,520 --> 02:32:18,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na laging dumulog, nandumulog, nandumulog

3422
02:32:18,560 --> 02:32:20,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para dagdagan yung SLP budget.

3423
02:32:20,460 --> 02:32:21,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Because, as I mentioned,

3424
02:32:22,400 --> 02:32:24,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it's something that we like. Kasi nakakakita kami

3425
02:32:24,640 --> 02:32:26,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng success stories. Ito yung crutch

3426
02:32:26,480 --> 02:32:28,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: program. Tama kayo. Ito yung saklay,

3427
02:32:28,480 --> 02:32:30,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: palabas, lalo. So, sana,

3428
02:32:30,580 --> 02:32:32,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: dagdagan ho talaga yan. Nagsimula na

3429
02:32:32,580 --> 02:32:34,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung maliit. When I joined the department, it was at

3430
02:32:34,480 --> 02:32:36,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: around 7 billion or 6 billion.

3431
02:32:37,000 --> 02:32:38,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang growth lang niya, minsan 1

3432
02:32:38,520 --> 02:32:40,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: billion, minsan atras ng 500 million.

3433
02:32:40,780 --> 02:32:42,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're really pleading na lakihan

3434
02:32:42,480 --> 02:32:44,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ho yan. Because it's a social

3435
02:32:44,540 --> 02:32:46,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: development program that we're very

3436
02:32:46,520 --> 02:32:48,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: proud of, na sana tignan ng tignan.

3437
02:32:49,380 --> 02:32:50,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ang sinasabi ni

3438
02:32:50,620 --> 02:32:52,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: SEC, kongreso raw

3439
02:32:52,160 --> 02:32:54,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nagtatanggal o nagbabawas

3440
02:32:54,420 --> 02:32:56,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa SLP. Ay, hindi po. Mr. Chairman,

3441
02:32:57,080 --> 02:32:58,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nagsimula na siyang maliit.

3442
02:32:58,520 --> 02:33:00,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi na siya pantay, to begin with.

3443
02:33:00,580 --> 02:33:02,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, sana we put equal

3444
02:33:02,380 --> 02:33:03,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: gas on it. Okay.

3445
02:33:04,600 --> 02:33:06,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: In other words, as a matter of policy,

3446
02:33:06,480 --> 02:33:08,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: binabawasan yung SLP. Now,

3447
02:33:08,820 --> 02:33:10,520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: my last statistic that I

3448
02:33:10,520 --> 02:33:12,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: last set of statistics I want to point

3449
02:33:12,620 --> 02:33:14,380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: out, yung AICS. Nung

3450
02:33:14,380 --> 02:33:16,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2016, ito

3451
02:33:16,560 --> 02:33:17,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: po ay

3452
02:33:17,220 --> 02:33:20,180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 700 million pesos.

3453
02:33:21,340 --> 02:33:21,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

3454
02:33:22,700 --> 02:33:24,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero, let

3455
02:33:24,600 --> 02:33:26,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: me see. Meron tayong data

3456
02:33:26,500 --> 02:33:26,840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: dyan.

3457
02:33:28,840 --> 02:33:29,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: AICS,

3458
02:33:29,440 --> 02:33:30,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 700 million.

3459
02:33:30,580 --> 02:33:32,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero, by

3460
02:33:32,820 --> 02:33:34,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2026,

3461
02:33:35,680 --> 02:33:36,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: it became

3462
02:33:36,420 --> 02:33:39,720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 63.9 billion pesos.

3463
02:33:40,460 --> 02:33:41,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: That's a

3464
02:33:41,500 --> 02:33:43,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 9,000

3465
02:33:43,860 --> 02:33:45,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: percent increase

3466
02:33:45,800 --> 02:33:48,580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: in the program.

3467
02:33:48,820 --> 02:33:50,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 9,000 percent po.

3468
02:33:51,380 --> 02:33:52,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No? So, nakaka

3469
02:33:52,460 --> 02:33:54,280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: gimbal

3470
02:33:54,280 --> 02:33:56,760
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na rate

3471
02:33:56,760 --> 02:33:58,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: of increase. No? Ang concern

3472
02:33:58,780 --> 02:34:00,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: po natin dito, ay,

3473
02:34:00,580 --> 02:34:02,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: alam naman natin na

3474
02:34:02,620 --> 02:34:04,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung, sabihin na natin, yung

3475
02:34:04,420 --> 02:34:06,720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: four-piece, yung programa niyong four-piece,

3476
02:34:07,260 --> 02:34:08,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: you know, based on objective

3477
02:34:08,780 --> 02:34:11,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: criteria, supposedly, parametric.

3478
02:34:11,420 --> 02:34:13,040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Diba? Merong poverty statistics,

3479
02:34:13,160 --> 02:34:15,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: so on and so forth. May listahanan.

3480
02:34:15,780 --> 02:34:17,020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero, alam din naman ng

3481
02:34:17,020 --> 02:34:18,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: madla ng publiko,

3482
02:34:19,220 --> 02:34:20,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kahit minsan hindi ina-admit

3483
02:34:20,960 --> 02:34:23,040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ito, yung AICS, yun yung patronage.

3484
02:34:23,860 --> 02:34:25,520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yun yung batay sa listahan

3485
02:34:25,520 --> 02:34:26,740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ni

3486
02:34:26,740 --> 02:34:28,720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: congressman, ni senator,

3487
02:34:29,060 --> 02:34:30,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: etc. So, ang

3488
02:34:30,460 --> 02:34:32,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: concern po natin, ang trend po

3489
02:34:32,460 --> 02:34:33,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na lumalabas

3490
02:34:33,340 --> 02:34:36,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: habang ay papalaki

3491
02:34:36,120 --> 02:34:38,380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang

3492
02:34:38,380 --> 02:34:40,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ayuda na nakabatay

3493
02:34:40,780 --> 02:34:42,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa politika. O yung

3494
02:34:42,680 --> 02:34:44,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ayuda na ginagamit sa

3495
02:34:44,400 --> 02:34:46,580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pamumulitika. At

3496
02:34:46,580 --> 02:34:48,580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: hindi lang maliit na paglaki,

3497
02:34:48,700 --> 02:34:50,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kundi pambihirang paglaki

3498
02:34:50,160 --> 02:34:51,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na nagsimula

3499
02:34:51,640 --> 02:34:54,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: during the later

3500
02:34:54,200 --> 02:34:56,280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: years of the Duterte administration

3501
02:34:56,280 --> 02:34:58,180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at lalo talagang

3502
02:34:58,180 --> 02:34:59,580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: lumobo

3503
02:35:00,460 --> 02:35:02,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng gusto sa ilalim ng kasalukuyang

3504
02:35:02,640 --> 02:35:04,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: administrasyon. So, yun din po

3505
02:35:04,940 --> 02:35:06,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang concern natin. Una,

3506
02:35:07,740 --> 02:35:08,540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang emphasis ay

3507
02:35:08,540 --> 02:35:11,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng so-called poverty alleviation

3508
02:35:11,320 --> 02:35:13,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nakabatay sa ayuda.

3509
02:35:14,880 --> 02:35:16,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi sa pag-develop

3510
02:35:16,400 --> 02:35:17,040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng

3511
02:35:17,040 --> 02:35:19,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: trabaho o

3512
02:35:19,680 --> 02:35:21,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kabuhayan.

3513
02:35:22,200 --> 02:35:24,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Concretely, binawasan ng malaki yung

3514
02:35:24,240 --> 02:35:26,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sustainable livelihood program. Tapos ngayon,

3515
02:35:26,560 --> 02:35:27,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: papalaki yung

3516
02:35:27,460 --> 02:35:30,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ayuda na nakabatay sa patronage,

3517
02:35:30,460 --> 02:35:30,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: medyayong mga kitay-kiti ka

3518
02:35:30,700 --> 02:35:32,180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: o tinatawag na pork barrel.

3519
02:35:35,980 --> 02:35:36,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Meron po bang

3520
02:35:36,800 --> 02:35:38,080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pagtingin?

3521
02:35:38,500 --> 02:35:40,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Actually, naka-address ito as much

3522
02:35:40,680 --> 02:35:42,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa Kongreso at sa

3523
02:35:42,480 --> 02:35:43,380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: DSWD.

3524
02:35:44,180 --> 02:35:46,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, again, much appreciated yung mga

3525
02:35:46,460 --> 02:35:48,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: punto na pinapoint out.

3526
02:35:49,240 --> 02:35:50,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meron lang ho kaming gustong ilatag

3527
02:35:50,940 --> 02:35:52,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na mga post-2016

3528
02:35:52,900 --> 02:35:54,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na mga

3529
02:35:54,020 --> 02:35:56,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: events, mga supervening events.

3530
02:35:57,420 --> 02:35:58,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: COVID happened

3531
02:35:58,300 --> 02:36:00,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: right at the tail end of

3532
02:36:00,260 --> 02:36:02,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the Duterte administration and

3533
02:36:02,380 --> 02:36:04,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: all our poverty consultants

3534
02:36:04,600 --> 02:36:06,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: were telling us na it took,

3535
02:36:06,320 --> 02:36:07,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it's still

3536
02:36:07,140 --> 02:36:09,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: happening up to now na yung

3537
02:36:09,920 --> 02:36:12,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: mga na-setback, unti-unti pa rin

3538
02:36:12,480 --> 02:36:14,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lang lumalabas doon sa butas

3539
02:36:14,420 --> 02:36:16,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na nahulog sila.

3540
02:36:16,420 --> 02:36:18,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ibig sabihin, yung epekto ng COVID

3541
02:36:18,480 --> 02:36:20,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nararamdaman pa rin ho namin all the way

3542
02:36:20,260 --> 02:36:22,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in fact to 2023, 2024

3543
02:36:22,200 --> 02:36:24,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nung sumama ako sa departamento.

3544
02:36:24,780 --> 02:36:26,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's why if you can recall, hindi ho lahat

3545
02:36:26,580 --> 02:36:28,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: linabas natin sa four piece kasi

3546
02:36:28,480 --> 02:36:30,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nga madi-disenfranchise yun.

3547
02:36:30,380 --> 02:36:31,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Napaka maraming mahirap na tao.

3548
02:36:31,900 --> 02:36:33,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Then came the more

3549
02:36:33,960 --> 02:36:35,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: shocks, itong pinagdaraanan natin

3550
02:36:35,880 --> 02:36:38,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: inflationary shock, and at the same

3551
02:36:38,020 --> 02:36:40,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: time, post, in this

3552
02:36:40,040 --> 02:36:41,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: administration, napaka

3553
02:36:41,720 --> 02:36:43,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: larami pong climate-induced

3554
02:36:43,980 --> 02:36:46,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: natural disasters, at natural

3555
02:36:46,020 --> 02:36:47,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: disasters like volcano eruptions.

3556
02:36:48,040 --> 02:36:49,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: In my time in the department alone, I've

3557
02:36:49,920 --> 02:36:51,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: seen three volcanoes,

3558
02:36:51,860 --> 02:36:53,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: multiple earthquakes, at katakot-takot

3559
02:36:53,960 --> 02:36:55,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na volume ng ulan. And these

3560
02:36:55,900 --> 02:36:58,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: are yung mga shocks na hindi inaasahan.

3561
02:36:58,480 --> 02:37:00,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kaya nga ho, I have a presentation

3562
02:37:00,280 --> 02:37:01,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: later that will show na

3563
02:37:01,540 --> 02:37:03,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: minsan nag-o-augment pa dahil

3564
02:37:03,860 --> 02:37:05,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kulang na kulang yung

3565
02:37:05,320 --> 02:37:08,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ginagamit kasi rin namin sa disaster

3566
02:37:08,160 --> 02:37:10,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: response. Para makatulong

3567
02:37:10,560 --> 02:37:11,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na huwag mahulog yung mga pamilya

3568
02:37:11,960 --> 02:37:13,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pabalik ng kahirapan, or

3569
02:37:13,660 --> 02:37:15,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: manatili sila sa state nila.

3570
02:37:16,120 --> 02:37:17,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: There are unforeseen circumstances

3571
02:37:17,900 --> 02:37:20,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that made this, the

3572
02:37:20,020 --> 02:37:22,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: red line na tinatawag yun, AX na block,

3573
02:37:22,440 --> 02:37:23,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: grow. Now, Mr. Chairman,

3574
02:37:24,400 --> 02:37:26,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I would also want to point out na

3575
02:37:26,300 --> 02:37:28,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung AX naman,

3576
02:37:28,480 --> 02:37:30,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: may proseso siyang pinagdaraanan.

3577
02:37:30,980 --> 02:37:32,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Anybody can refer,

3578
02:37:32,800 --> 02:37:34,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero dadaan pa rin ho yan sa

3579
02:37:34,240 --> 02:37:36,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: masusing pagsusuri at pag-aaral

3580
02:37:36,240 --> 02:37:38,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng ating mga social workers. We still say no.

3581
02:37:38,540 --> 02:37:40,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Despite the different referrals from

3582
02:37:40,140 --> 02:37:42,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: different partners, from the private sector

3583
02:37:42,300 --> 02:37:44,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or the public sector, the vetting

3584
02:37:44,220 --> 02:37:46,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: process is there. Yun ho yung safety

3585
02:37:46,320 --> 02:37:48,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: net namin doon. And lastly,

3586
02:37:48,540 --> 02:37:50,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, I'm not PSA and I'm

3587
02:37:50,240 --> 02:37:52,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: not def-dev, but kaapon lang kasi very

3588
02:37:52,180 --> 02:37:53,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: fresh yung briefing namin.

3589
02:37:54,680 --> 02:37:55,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now, tama,

3590
02:37:56,000 --> 02:37:58,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lumiip yung kahirapan,

3591
02:37:58,480 --> 02:38:00,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: driven by two things,

3592
02:38:00,400 --> 02:38:02,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: according to PSA. The income

3593
02:38:02,560 --> 02:38:04,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: per family increased

3594
02:38:04,000 --> 02:38:06,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and at the same time,

3595
02:38:06,620 --> 02:38:08,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the inflation went down.

3596
02:38:08,600 --> 02:38:10,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, there was a convolution of two events

3597
02:38:10,700 --> 02:38:12,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na nakatulong sa pag-angat

3598
02:38:12,600 --> 02:38:13,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng numero and

3599
02:38:13,480 --> 02:38:16,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the reasons they gave us

3600
02:38:16,540 --> 02:38:18,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for the increase in household income

3601
02:38:18,680 --> 02:38:20,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in all deciles, not just

3602
02:38:20,440 --> 02:38:20,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the poor.

3603
02:38:22,100 --> 02:38:23,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Increase in wages,

3604
02:38:24,360 --> 02:38:25,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: entrepreneurship,

3605
02:38:26,800 --> 02:38:28,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: transfers from international

3606
02:38:28,480 --> 02:38:30,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sources, ito yung mga remittances,

3607
02:38:31,200 --> 02:38:32,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at pensions.

3608
02:38:33,040 --> 02:38:35,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Of the five main reasons,

3609
02:38:35,260 --> 02:38:37,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: four are not cash transfers

3610
02:38:37,300 --> 02:38:38,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that are domestic.

3611
02:38:38,980 --> 02:38:40,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, ibig sabihin, hindi lang DSWD

3612
02:38:40,980 --> 02:38:42,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na programa ang nag-angat,

3613
02:38:43,000 --> 02:38:44,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kung hindi, pati na rin yung mga ibang

3614
02:38:44,680 --> 02:38:47,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: programa ng iba't-ibang mga departamento.

3615
02:38:47,840 --> 02:38:48,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero again, there's a caution

3616
02:38:48,860 --> 02:38:50,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na may nangyayaring energy emergency

3617
02:38:50,700 --> 02:38:53,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and it might affect again the numbers.

3618
02:38:56,000 --> 02:38:56,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Mr. Chair, alam kong

3619
02:38:56,780 --> 02:38:58,540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: tapos ng oras,

3620
02:38:58,900 --> 02:38:59,980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: inood ko lang na,

3621
02:39:00,460 --> 02:39:02,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung sinight na statistics ni SEC

3622
02:39:02,360 --> 02:39:04,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa kanilang meeting, bumaba pa yung

3623
02:39:04,560 --> 02:39:06,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: inflation. Mukhang hindi pa updated dyan

3624
02:39:06,320 --> 02:39:08,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kasi tumaba na uli ang inflation.

3625
02:39:08,580 --> 02:39:10,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 2026, Mr. Chairman.

3626
02:39:10,380 --> 02:39:12,080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ibang-iba ang sitwasyon ngayon,

3627
02:39:12,140 --> 02:39:14,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2026. And also, nandito si

3628
02:39:14,680 --> 02:39:16,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Rep. Sara, nire-raise niya palagi ito,

3629
02:39:17,440 --> 02:39:18,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: contested yung

3630
02:39:18,480 --> 02:39:21,040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: poverty threshold

3631
02:39:21,040 --> 02:39:22,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: figures ng

3632
02:39:22,600 --> 02:39:24,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: DepDev. Yung kanilang

3633
02:39:24,440 --> 02:39:26,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 64 pesos a day na food

3634
02:39:26,620 --> 02:39:28,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: threshold na walang

3635
02:39:28,560 --> 02:39:30,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pilipinong tumatanggap dito.

3636
02:39:30,460 --> 02:39:32,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay, anyway, yun lang po,

3637
02:39:32,500 --> 02:39:34,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Mr. Chair, round 2 na lang po tayo. Thank you.

3638
02:39:34,620 --> 02:39:35,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Thank you, sir.

3639
02:39:35,380 --> 02:39:38,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If I can just respond to that, we agree na yung threshold

3640
02:39:38,200 --> 02:39:39,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: has to be visited ahead of time.

3641
02:39:40,280 --> 02:39:42,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Binanggit naman yan sa amin kahapon ng PSA

3642
02:39:42,440 --> 02:39:44,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na it might be revisited

3643
02:39:44,400 --> 02:39:46,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at nasa proseso na sila

3644
02:39:46,240 --> 02:39:47,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng pag-aaral ng threshold.

3645
02:39:48,200 --> 02:39:50,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Naniniwala rin sila na dapat revisitahin na

3646
02:39:50,540 --> 02:39:52,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lalong-lalo na nag-iba na ang mundo.

3647
02:39:52,720 --> 02:39:54,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, we agree. Pero I hope you understand,

3648
02:39:54,440 --> 02:39:54,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman,

3649
02:39:55,540 --> 02:39:58,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kami, we operate with data that's given to us.

3650
02:39:58,660 --> 02:40:00,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And given that the data managers are

3651
02:40:00,300 --> 02:40:02,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: telling us this, we have to calibrate our actions

3652
02:40:02,460 --> 02:40:03,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: based on what they give us. But,

3653
02:40:04,180 --> 02:40:05,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: rest assured, nagtatanong ho kami.

3654
02:40:06,060 --> 02:40:08,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We also pose the pragmatic questions

3655
02:40:08,500 --> 02:40:10,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: rather than just accept the data

3656
02:40:10,420 --> 02:40:11,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that they give us.

3657
02:40:16,270 --> 02:40:18,450
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you. Thank you, Congressman Tinio.

3658
02:40:20,990 --> 02:40:22,410
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: May we now recognize

3659
02:40:22,410 --> 02:40:26,170
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Kong Chideng Alvarez.

3660
02:40:28,050 --> 02:40:29,170
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

3661
02:40:30,850 --> 02:40:32,450

3662
02:40:32,450 --> 02:40:34,230
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: of the national government is to

3663
02:40:34,230 --> 02:40:36,270
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: be felt or its presence felt

3664
02:40:36,270 --> 02:40:38,670
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: on the ground, DSWD

3665
02:40:38,670 --> 02:40:40,350
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: has done just that and continues

3666
02:40:40,350 --> 02:40:42,230
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: to do that, especially

3667
02:40:42,230 --> 02:40:44,150
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: for us in Negros Island region.

3668
02:40:44,830 --> 02:40:46,550
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: It really has remained true

3669
02:40:46,550 --> 02:40:48,610
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: to its mandate, especially

3670
02:40:48,610 --> 02:40:50,350
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: in times

3671
02:40:50,350 --> 02:40:52,210
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: not only during typhoons, but

3672
02:40:52,210 --> 02:40:54,070
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: specifically in Negros, such as

3673
02:40:54,070 --> 02:40:56,590
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: the continuing situation of

3674
02:40:56,590 --> 02:40:58,270
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Mount Canlaon, its

3675
02:40:58,270 --> 02:41:00,390
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: eruption. At the same time,

3676
02:41:00,470 --> 02:41:02,150
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: quite recently, of course,

3677
02:41:02,150 --> 02:41:04,070
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: the infestation of RSSI

3678
02:41:04,070 --> 02:41:05,810
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: on our sugarcane farmers.

3679
02:41:06,270 --> 02:41:08,110
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: So, I'd like to thank the

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: to the full implementation of

3685
02:41:18,190 --> 02:41:20,130
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: the Negros Island region law,

3686
02:41:20,130 --> 02:41:21,730
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: which is, of course, crafted

3687
02:41:21,730 --> 02:41:24,010
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: by the last Congress, Republic Act

3688
02:41:24,010 --> 02:41:26,390
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: 12,000. It's headed by

3689
02:41:26,390 --> 02:41:28,170
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Regional Director

3690
02:41:28,170 --> 02:41:30,150
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Arwin Razo. So, thank you very much,

3691
02:41:30,270 --> 02:41:32,030
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Central Office, for its full support.

3692
02:41:32,550 --> 02:41:34,110
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: I've heard that quite recently

3693
02:41:34,110 --> 02:41:36,070
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: within this year, two

3694
02:41:36,270 --> 02:41:37,930
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: satellite offices were opened

3695
02:41:37,930 --> 02:41:39,690
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: in Negros Occidental,

3696
02:41:40,190 --> 02:41:42,570
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: because I believe the

3697
02:41:42,570 --> 02:41:44,150
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: regional office is in Dumaguete

3698
02:41:44,150 --> 02:41:45,610
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: City. So, thank you very much.

3699
02:41:46,150 --> 02:41:48,110
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: But, of course, I'd like to take

3700
02:41:48,110 --> 02:41:49,950
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: this opportunity, Mr. Chair, kasi

3701
02:41:49,950 --> 02:41:51,950
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: palagi nga natin naririnig na

3702
02:41:51,950 --> 02:41:54,050
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: DSWD is puros

3703
02:41:54,050 --> 02:41:54,930
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: ayuda lang.

3704
02:41:56,010 --> 02:41:57,570
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Of course, we forgot,

3705
02:41:58,050 --> 02:42:00,150
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: actually, I'd like to quote the Secretary when he

3706
02:42:00,150 --> 02:42:02,170
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: said na, meron naman po ng development.

3707
02:42:02,830 --> 02:42:04,070
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: And those developmental

3708
02:42:04,070 --> 02:42:06,070
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: programs are one of my favorites,

3709
02:42:06,270 --> 02:42:07,430
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: such as, of course,

3710
02:42:07,970 --> 02:42:09,730
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: the Lawa at Binhi program.

3711
02:42:10,270 --> 02:42:12,090
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Hindi pa ata na-highlight ni Secretary

3712
02:42:12,090 --> 02:42:14,210
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: during his sponsorship speech.

3713
02:42:14,710 --> 02:42:16,230
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: And at the same time,

3714
02:42:16,230 --> 02:42:17,190
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: of course,

3715
02:42:17,710 --> 02:42:19,230
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: the SLP.

3716
02:42:20,530 --> 02:42:21,870
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Hindi na po ata

3717
02:42:21,870 --> 02:42:24,290
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: strange to the DSWD

3718
02:42:24,290 --> 02:42:26,310
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: family na I am one of the early

3719
02:42:26,310 --> 02:42:28,670
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: supporters of SLP program.

3720
02:42:29,190 --> 02:42:30,390
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: But, I'd

3721
02:42:30,390 --> 02:42:32,350
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: like to appreciate also the

3722
02:42:32,350 --> 02:42:34,390
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: support of my fellow colleagues

3723
02:42:34,390 --> 02:42:36,190
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: dahil nagpo-push sila ng

3724
02:42:36,190 --> 02:42:37,830
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: increase of the SLP program.

3725
02:42:38,170 --> 02:42:40,170
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: But, I'd like to know as well from the good

3726
02:42:40,170 --> 02:42:42,050
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Secretary, what are the constraints

3727
02:42:42,050 --> 02:42:44,190
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: on the implementation of

3728
02:42:44,190 --> 02:42:46,190
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: SLP? And at the same time,

3729
02:42:46,730 --> 02:42:48,390
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: baka po possible din,

3730
02:42:48,530 --> 02:42:50,210
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: aside from increasing the funding

3731
02:42:50,210 --> 02:42:52,170
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: for SLP, is also to increase the

3732
02:42:52,170 --> 02:42:54,390
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: funding for its additional

3733
02:42:54,390 --> 02:42:55,990
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: personnel for their salaries.

3734
02:42:56,230 --> 02:42:57,850
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: At the same time, yung

3735
02:42:57,850 --> 02:42:59,650
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: cost for administration to

3736
02:42:59,650 --> 02:43:01,150
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: implement SLP.

3737
02:43:02,490 --> 02:43:04,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, I'd like to thank the good

3738
02:43:04,090 --> 02:43:05,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Congresswoman who has been an

3739
02:43:05,690 --> 02:43:07,830
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: staunch champion of

3740
02:43:07,830 --> 02:43:09,970
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: SLP, from crabs to

3741
02:43:09,970 --> 02:43:11,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: cookies to everything in the middle.

3742
02:43:12,870 --> 02:43:13,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman,

3743
02:43:13,670 --> 02:43:15,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: first things first, wala hong

3744
02:43:15,310 --> 02:43:17,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: SLP isn't an institutionalized

3745
02:43:17,910 --> 02:43:19,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: program. It's

3746
02:43:19,710 --> 02:43:21,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a line item without legislation

3747
02:43:21,690 --> 02:43:23,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to it. In fact, the legislation

3748
02:43:23,510 --> 02:43:25,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: has moved out of the

3749
02:43:25,810 --> 02:43:27,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: committee level, the Social Services Committee.

3750
02:43:28,010 --> 02:43:29,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's now in the appropriations. I think

3751
02:43:29,750 --> 02:43:31,970
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that will help cure a lot

3752
02:43:31,970 --> 02:43:33,550
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of the problems. Kasi

3753
02:43:33,550 --> 02:43:35,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that being said, wala rin

3754
02:43:35,670 --> 02:43:37,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: plantilya si SLP,

3755
02:43:37,670 --> 02:43:38,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: di ba? Minimal.

3756
02:43:41,590 --> 02:43:43,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yeah, it's a minimal plantily, as you know.

3757
02:43:44,350 --> 02:43:45,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Maraming nga kayong nakokomment

3758
02:43:45,930 --> 02:43:47,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na they're overworked on their staff.

3759
02:43:48,310 --> 02:43:49,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, yun lang, maybe the first

3760
02:43:49,710 --> 02:43:51,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: step is to institutionalize this

3761
02:43:51,530 --> 02:43:53,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: social development program, the same way

3762
02:43:53,590 --> 02:43:55,830
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we look at the other programs of the SWD.

3763
02:43:56,530 --> 02:43:57,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If the AICS law is

3764
02:43:57,810 --> 02:43:59,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: near completion, sana

3765
02:43:59,770 --> 02:44:01,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the SLP law goes to

3766
02:44:01,730 --> 02:44:03,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the same fruition in this Congress.

3767
02:44:04,130 --> 02:44:05,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number two, obviously,

3768
02:44:05,670 --> 02:44:07,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: funding constraint. As

3769
02:44:07,750 --> 02:44:09,830
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pointed out by Congressman Tino, maraming

3770
02:44:09,830 --> 02:44:11,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: gumagraduate ng four-piece

3771
02:44:11,950 --> 02:44:13,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at ang crutch program sana nila will

3772
02:44:13,730 --> 02:44:15,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: be education or entrepreneurship.

3773
02:44:16,070 --> 02:44:17,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But the entrepreneurship side, parang

3774
02:44:17,910 --> 02:44:19,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang bigat nung binibit-bit niya with

3775
02:44:19,610 --> 02:44:22,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: only 6 billion in its line item.

3776
02:44:22,570 --> 02:44:23,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, that is something to

3777
02:44:23,750 --> 02:44:25,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: look into. And

3778
02:44:25,770 --> 02:44:26,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: last but not the least,

3779
02:44:28,990 --> 02:44:29,330
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the

3780
02:44:29,330 --> 02:44:31,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: information

3781
02:44:31,530 --> 02:44:33,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: campaign ng ano yung

3782
02:44:33,770 --> 02:44:35,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: SLP. I think the SWD, the

3783
02:44:35,670 --> 02:44:37,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: public knows us more for AICS

3784
02:44:37,850 --> 02:44:39,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: rather than SLP. Pero

3785
02:44:39,870 --> 02:44:41,970
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I'm glad nga na unti-unti in this

3786
02:44:41,970 --> 02:44:44,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hearing, a lot of the legislators

3787
02:44:44,050 --> 02:44:46,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: are finding the value in it. But the general

3788
02:44:46,010 --> 02:44:48,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: public has to understand that there's more to us

3789
02:44:48,090 --> 02:44:49,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: than social welfare.

3790
02:44:50,570 --> 02:44:51,930
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: So, is it safe to say, Mr.

3791
02:44:52,110 --> 02:44:53,470
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Chair, that the good secretary

3792
02:44:53,470 --> 02:44:55,170
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: supports the

3793
02:44:55,170 --> 02:44:58,010
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: institutionalization of SLP as

3794
02:44:58,010 --> 02:44:58,550
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: a law?

3795
02:44:58,550 --> 02:45:00,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: A hundred and one percent, Mr. Chair.

3796
02:45:00,540 --> 02:45:02,200
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Versus AICS?

3797
02:45:02,200 --> 02:45:03,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Both.

3798
02:45:03,000 --> 02:45:10,720
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: So, speaking about AICS, Mr. Chair, what will be the effect

3799
02:45:10,720 --> 02:45:18,560
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Mr. Chair, if we forego or reduce the budget for the protective services for individuals and families, Mr. Chair?

3800
02:45:18,560 --> 02:45:24,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: mr chairman displacement we have a slide that i've been wanting to show since this morning

3801
02:45:24,480 --> 02:45:26,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If we can pull it out.

3802
02:45:26,400 --> 02:45:33,940
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Because, Mr. Chair, I'd like to add so that Secretary can also include it in

3803
02:45:33,940 --> 02:45:41,660
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: his explanation, because unlike AICS, there are several studies which were pointed out recently,

3804
02:45:41,660 --> 02:45:47,800
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: earlier. There is a World Bank study, there is PIDS, but can you also cite if there is also

3805
02:45:47,800 --> 02:45:51,500
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: a similar study as to the effect of AICS? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

3806
02:45:51,500 --> 02:45:54,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number one, Mr. Chairman, the fear natin, this is a

3807
02:45:54,480 --> 02:46:00,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: tabular format. In 2025, the allotment was 44 billion, pero nakita niyo may other releases pa

3808
02:46:00,100 --> 02:46:06,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: from unprogrammed na 14 billion. We were augmented actually kasi kinapos tayo

3809
02:46:06,940 --> 02:46:14,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because, tulad na sinabi ko, there are unforeseen events like volcano eruptions, RSSI, these type of things

3810
02:46:14,020 --> 02:46:20,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na ginagamit namin ang 4Ps. Ah, sorry, ang AICS. So in that year alone, we were able to serve 9 million,

3811
02:46:20,840 --> 02:46:23,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 9.4 million beneficiaries

3812
02:46:23,220 --> 02:46:30,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mga may mukha, mga pangalan 'to. These are actual beneficiaries. In 2026, when Congress heeded our call last year,

3813
02:46:30,380 --> 02:46:37,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: you gave us 63.4 billion, of which 70% has already been obligated and we're in the process

3814
02:46:37,100 --> 02:46:46,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of using that. Ang naging target natin is 8.7 million Filipino individuals who are coming to us day in and day out

3815
02:46:46,640 --> 02:46:52,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: out in our numerous offices. Now if we stick to the NEP level of 33 billion,

3816
02:46:53,220 --> 02:46:57,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang projected na service gap, meaning yung tatanggihan natin dahil wala na tayong pera,

3817
02:46:57,860 --> 02:47:04,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is 4,085,631. And these are not mere numbers; these are real people

3818
02:47:04,720 --> 02:47:11,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in your congressional districts, in your cities, na sasabihin namin, pasensya na po, lumiit po kasi yung pondo. So we are pleading

3819
02:47:11,460 --> 02:47:19,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: with Congress and later on in the Senate na i-restore ho to 63 billion yung pondo. Now I think there's

3820
02:47:19,340 --> 02:47:22,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a next slide. May next slide to?

3821
02:47:22,340 --> 02:47:23,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now,

3822
02:47:23,100 --> 02:47:28,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I want to point out that when the energy emergency broke out this year,

3823
02:47:28,980 --> 02:47:33,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that nobody saw, this is also the funding allocation for the uplift assistance.

3824
02:47:34,120 --> 02:47:38,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The close to 2 million drivers nationwide,

3825
02:47:38,540 --> 02:47:43,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of the jeep, tricycle, TNVS, service delivery,

3826
02:47:43,400 --> 02:47:47,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: all of those were received by 5,000 because we used the AICS.

3827
02:47:47,560 --> 02:47:51,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The AICS sort of serves as a standby fund for unforeseen events.

3828
02:47:51,700 --> 02:47:57,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If that wasn't there, if you didn't raise it to 66 billion, 63 billion last year,

3829
02:47:58,320 --> 02:48:02,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we would have been finished by the summer and we wouldn't have reached our allocation

3830
02:48:02,940 --> 02:48:06,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for the crises that we are facing now.

3831
02:48:07,160 --> 02:48:11,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So again, let me just put on record that we are asking Congress,

3832
02:48:12,400 --> 02:48:14,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as well as the Senate later on,

3833
02:48:14,420 --> 02:48:20,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to reinstate the budget of AICS to its current levels of 63.4 billion pesos.

3834
02:48:20,260 --> 02:48:23,920
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Thank you.

3835
02:48:24,100 --> 02:48:29,040
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Mr. Chair, so to end, thank you very much once again to DSWD.

3836
02:48:29,300 --> 02:48:32,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For Congresswoman or more, 63 billion or more.

3837
02:48:33,260 --> 02:48:35,740
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: We fully support that, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

3838
02:48:38,350 --> 02:48:41,750
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, Kong Chia-Ding. Thank you, Secretary.

3839
02:48:47,460 --> 02:48:52,140
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We now recognize Representative Bong Soon-Tai.

3840
02:48:53,720 --> 02:48:55,900
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

3841
02:48:56,700 --> 02:49:00,520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Secretary, magandang tanghali po.

3842
02:49:00,880 --> 02:49:03,540
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Siyempre sa, to the DSWD family.

3843
02:49:04,440 --> 02:49:05,320
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Well, una sa lahat.

3844
02:49:07,900 --> 02:49:09,360
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Well, as we all know,

3845
02:49:10,500 --> 02:49:13,320
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: disaster has struck our country in numerous times.

3846
02:49:13,320 --> 02:49:18,440
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Madaming, well, nabanggit ni Sec pag erap ng bulkan.

3847
02:49:19,080 --> 02:49:25,720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Merong mga sunog na nagganap, merong mga typhoon, which we were hit.

3848
02:49:26,920 --> 02:49:31,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So kaya ako lang nabanggit to, una, nais kong magpasalamat sa DSWD, as we all know.

3849
02:49:32,200 --> 02:49:36,450
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Government should be there when it's needed.

3850
02:49:36,890 --> 02:49:40,950
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: On time and available at yung pagtulong.

3851
02:49:40,950 --> 02:49:45,150
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pagdating dun sa disaster, masasabi ko na talagang on time.

3852
02:49:45,350 --> 02:49:49,270
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Nasaksihan ko yan nung nagkabagyo sa aking distrito.

3853
02:49:50,230 --> 02:49:53,950
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ready naman yung food boxes ng DSWD.

3854
02:49:54,710 --> 02:49:55,930
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: It was readily available.

3855
02:49:56,270 --> 02:50:02,530
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Andon yung mga sleeping kits, tsaka yung ready to eat.

3856
02:50:03,510 --> 02:50:07,810
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Na pagkain, which was readily available.

3857
02:50:08,450 --> 02:50:12,050
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: I believe it was like that in the whole of Metro Manila

3858
02:50:12,050 --> 02:50:16,490
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: because andito yung warehouses ng DSWD.

3859
02:50:17,110 --> 02:50:21,210
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ang tanong ko lang, sa probinsya po kaya, I believe that would be a problem.

3860
02:50:21,410 --> 02:50:27,810
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Yung logistics and warehouse, paano yung response ng DSWD sa mga ibang lugar naman?

3861
02:50:28,090 --> 02:50:33,430
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Na hindi readily accessible itong mga warehouse at saka yung mga trucking requirements.

3862
02:50:33,510 --> 02:50:35,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, that's a very good question.

3863
02:50:36,170 --> 02:50:40,390
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Under this administration, binaguhu talaga yung paradigm on disaster response.

3864
02:50:40,570 --> 02:50:44,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi tayo naghahanda o nag-repack pag nandyan na yung sakuna.

3865
02:50:44,910 --> 02:50:54,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Rather, for the first time in our country's history, we now operate close to 1,040 warehouses nationwide.

3866
02:50:54,810 --> 02:50:56,290
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And these are different sizes warehouse.

3867
02:50:56,490 --> 02:50:58,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Merong nasa syudad that we call hubs.

3868
02:50:58,510 --> 02:51:01,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Merong kami mid-size hubs rin na nasa mga secondary cities.

3869
02:51:01,370 --> 02:51:03,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we have last mile warehouses.

3870
02:51:03,510 --> 02:51:09,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: As far as northern Palawan, in fact, alam niyo ni Congresswoman Salvame, or the GIDA areas.

3871
02:51:10,410 --> 02:51:15,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And the second paradigm change is, tulad na sinabi ko, 365 days a year, we repack nationwide.

3872
02:51:15,770 --> 02:51:16,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We have two repacking centers.

3873
02:51:17,370 --> 02:51:22,290
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're building the third one now in Mindanao because of Congress's approval of a multi-year allocation for it.

3874
02:51:22,730 --> 02:51:28,170
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So meaning, the goods are being drawn from bigger packaging centers in the three island groups.

3875
02:51:28,810 --> 02:51:31,330
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So meaning, naka-omnipresent, naka-palat na huyan.

3876
02:51:31,330 --> 02:51:38,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nung sumali kami sa departamento nung 2022, before my time, Secretary Erwin was already building on it.

3877
02:51:39,270 --> 02:51:41,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: After six months, we carried on his mission.

3878
02:51:41,830 --> 02:51:48,550
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: In fact, nung kaming dalawa, ang dinatan natin dyan na national stockpile ng food packs ay nasa mga 200,000 lang.

3879
02:51:49,150 --> 02:51:56,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At the height, before this sunod-sunod na bagyo, we ran 5.2 million family food packs nationwide.

3880
02:51:56,470 --> 02:51:59,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Not just in Metro Manila, but all over the country.

3881
02:51:59,230 --> 02:52:01,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So ganyan karami yung national stockpile.

3882
02:52:01,330 --> 02:52:08,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And for this month alone, we've already released 3.6 million food packs nationwide.

3883
02:52:08,650 --> 02:52:11,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi tulad nyo na sabi ko, may stockpile tayo.

3884
02:52:11,570 --> 02:52:14,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yet the remaining stockpile now still stands at 3.2.

3885
02:52:14,610 --> 02:52:18,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meaning, we're running our factories beyond its capacity na 22,000.

3886
02:52:19,110 --> 02:52:22,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're reproducing, responding, and stockpiling all at the same time.

3887
02:52:23,170 --> 02:52:25,830
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary.

3888
02:52:25,830 --> 02:52:29,830
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Well, kagaya ng sinabi ko, pagdating dyan talagang nararamdaman.

3889
02:52:31,330 --> 02:52:31,730
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kikita.

3890
02:52:32,250 --> 02:52:40,890
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now, the protective social welfare budget for the SWD was decreased from 131.6 billion in 2026.

3891
02:52:41,590 --> 02:52:44,770
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Bumaba ito to 101.4 billion.

3892
02:52:47,650 --> 02:52:51,350
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: What component program was affected by this?

3893
02:52:51,450 --> 02:52:54,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, the biggest is the assistance to individuals in crisis situation.

3894
02:52:54,990 --> 02:52:57,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 33 billion yung nawala ho doon.

3895
02:52:57,950 --> 02:53:00,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 30 billion.

3896
02:53:01,330 --> 02:53:03,230
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay, 30 billion yung nawala.

3897
02:53:03,350 --> 02:53:04,570
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero actually, nadagdag yan.

3898
02:53:04,690 --> 02:53:11,590
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kasi if you remember, I think it was noong 2025, we dinifund natin yung ACAP.

3899
02:53:12,050 --> 02:53:16,190
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero inabsorbed ng AICS yung beneficiary ng ACAP.

3900
02:53:17,150 --> 02:53:28,210
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: But have we fixed the problems noong pag-absorb ng AICS sa ACAP program?

3901
02:53:28,210 --> 02:53:30,250
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Dahil there were some co-affirming.

3902
02:53:30,250 --> 02:53:31,210
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: They identified.

3903
02:53:31,330 --> 02:53:39,010
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: They identified na yung aid distribution, nagkakaroon tayo ng duplication.

3904
02:53:39,110 --> 02:53:44,130
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: May mga beneficiaries, nakakuha na ng AICS, nakatanggap pa ulit ng ACAP.

3905
02:53:44,770 --> 02:53:46,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, that has been addressed.

3906
02:53:46,910 --> 02:53:48,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We've already explained that fully to COA.

3907
02:53:49,190 --> 02:53:54,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And the fiscal targets naman, if you're going to talk about the fiscal targets,

3908
02:53:54,150 --> 02:53:57,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we've met the fiscal targets noong kinonsolidate lahat sa AICS for last year.

3909
02:53:57,590 --> 02:54:00,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: As you pointed out, as the good congressman pointed out,

3910
02:54:00,090 --> 02:54:02,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na inaugment yung AICS.

3911
02:54:02,090 --> 02:54:04,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So yun yung pinakamalaki na nawala this year.

3912
02:54:04,090 --> 02:54:06,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 30 billion.

3913
02:54:06,090 --> 02:54:12,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung inintroduce na amendment ng congress, yun yung nawala rin.

3914
02:54:12,090 --> 02:54:15,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay, but what controls have we now placed?

3915
02:54:15,090 --> 02:54:19,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Paano nagiging distribution ngayon natin ng AICS?

3916
02:54:19,090 --> 02:54:25,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So per region, I think you posted it, but on a per district level, sino yung nagiging beneficiary?

3917
02:54:25,090 --> 02:54:28,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Who gets the biggest chunk of this AICS?

3918
02:54:28,090 --> 02:54:29,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: How do we distribute?

3919
02:54:29,090 --> 02:54:31,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Or allocate this fund?

3920
02:54:31,090 --> 02:54:34,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, it's always followed the same principle.

3921
02:54:34,090 --> 02:54:36,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's on a need base and assessed by the social worker.

3922
02:54:36,090 --> 02:54:39,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We get referrals every day from everywhere.

3923
02:54:39,090 --> 02:54:43,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And it's really up to the frontline social services, the social workers,

3924
02:54:43,090 --> 02:54:47,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to see if we were to say yes or no to a particular request.

3925
02:54:47,090 --> 02:54:52,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So would it be safe to say that ngayon mas regulated na natin, hindi na po magagaya?

3926
02:54:52,090 --> 02:54:57,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: For example, as a matter of fact, doon po sa distrito ko, during the previous congress,

3927
02:54:57,090 --> 02:55:06,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ang AICS pinang babayad po sa, pinang pe-payout yan sa mga nagpupunta doon sa mga pre-election rally, campaign.

3928
02:55:06,090 --> 02:55:13,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: In fact, naging leaflets pa nga po yan eh. Pre-filled up na yung form.

3929
02:55:13,090 --> 02:55:18,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Nakalagay na lang yung pangalan ng beneficiary at yung date. Tapos binabahay-bahay.

3930
02:55:18,090 --> 02:55:25,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So have we corrected that? Dahil yung AICS is a stopgap for individuals na talagang kailangan ng tulong.

3931
02:55:25,090 --> 02:55:35,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And it should not be used that way. Dahil kawawa naman yung mga taong kailangan talagang matulungan na nangangailangan ng tulong.

3932
02:55:35,090 --> 02:55:40,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, we totally agree. And we have tightened the implementing guidelines.

3933
02:55:40,090 --> 02:55:46,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: May mga anti-EPAL, may mga CLARO na you can't use it for your own interest or your political gains.

3934
02:55:46,090 --> 02:55:51,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's now enshrined both in the GAAA and at the same time our guidelines.

3935
02:55:51,090 --> 02:55:54,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we take these things seriously. Kakasuhan yung mga empleyado.

3936
02:55:54,090 --> 02:55:59,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meron rin hong ganung provision sa loob ng aming administrative codes in the department.

3937
02:55:59,090 --> 02:56:08,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay. Mr. Chairsec, as pinakita kanina ni Congressman Tino yung graph,

3938
02:56:08,090 --> 02:56:15,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: and I was listening to your answer and very happy to hear that ngayon ang ginagawa natin.

3939
02:56:15,090 --> 02:56:22,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Because yung support for SLTs and developmental programs talagang napaka-importante.

3940
02:56:22,090 --> 02:56:25,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ang ayaw natin is masanay talaga yung mga tao sa dole-outs.

3941
02:56:25,090 --> 02:56:34,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: We want the aid coming from the government to really affect and help the families.

3942
02:56:34,090 --> 02:56:45,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: While I understand talagang hindi naman pwedeng tanggalin because there are some immediate and emergency needs and assistance na kailangan ibigay at makuha ng mga tao.

3943
02:56:45,090 --> 02:56:51,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: But slowly, we also have to integrate. Ngayon nawala na yung ACAP.

3944
02:56:51,090 --> 02:56:57,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Sinama natin sa IX yung 4Ps. I'm talking about yung 4Ps. Sana mas mapalakas natin yung 4Ps.

3945
02:56:57,090 --> 02:57:06,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Dahil yung 4Ps, ang beneficiaryo ng mga 4Ps, kailangan sumunod ka sa RA 11310.

3946
02:57:06,090 --> 02:57:12,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: There are strict guidelines, components to this, regulations that has to be followed.

3947
02:57:12,090 --> 02:57:17,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And makikita mo may result because it's not really a dole-out for them.

3948
02:57:17,090 --> 02:57:20,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: It encourages and incentivizes families who are benefitting.

3949
02:57:21,090 --> 02:57:29,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So sana ito mapalaki. As correctly pointed out, yung ating sustainable livelihood program, lumeit yung budget.

3950
02:57:29,090 --> 02:57:33,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero gusto nga natin palakasin yung mga ganitong programa eh.

3951
02:57:33,090 --> 02:57:45,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So maybe we should put some of the, kung maglalagay ang Congress ng budget, baka dapat dito ilagay instead of additional IX na naman.

3952
02:57:45,090 --> 02:57:49,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Dahil ang gusto natin, slowly.

3953
02:57:49,090 --> 02:57:52,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: I think it was pointed out.

3954
02:57:52,090 --> 02:58:06,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Nung nagsimula yung IX program nung panahon ng pandemia, because during the lockout, yung mga extreme lockdowns natin, talaga kahit yung mga gusto magtrabaho, hindi makapagtrabaho.

3955
02:58:06,090 --> 02:58:13,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: After a while, nung natapos yung pandemic, hindi nawala yung programa. In fact, mas lumaki pa ito.

3956
02:58:13,090 --> 02:58:17,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: But ang ayaw natin sana mangyari is mapag-iwanan yung mga...

3957
02:58:17,090 --> 02:58:18,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ...yung mga...

3958
02:58:19,090 --> 02:58:27,090
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ...developmental programs which would really lift the family from poverty or help them in a way.

3959
02:58:27,090 --> 02:58:29,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, we agree.

3960
02:58:29,090 --> 02:58:32,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The points are well taken.

3961
02:58:32,090 --> 02:58:34,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Just as a quick rundown.

3962
02:58:34,090 --> 02:58:38,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tama ko kayo that we've been tightening the four-piece, strengthening it.

3963
02:58:38,090 --> 02:58:43,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: In fact, the World Bank last study said nga that it's contributed directly to 2.2 reduction in poverty.

3964
02:58:43,090 --> 02:58:47,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's a sign that our implementation has been tightened.

3965
02:58:47,090 --> 02:58:48,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But I also want to point out na...

3966
02:58:48,090 --> 02:58:51,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ninabanggit ko ito kanina kay Congressman Tino.

3967
02:58:51,090 --> 02:58:54,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yesterday's PSA briefing was quite revealing.

3968
02:58:54,090 --> 02:59:05,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sabi nila na the contributors or the drivers to poverty reduction, one, reduce inflation pre-2026, but also the growth in household income.

3969
02:59:05,090 --> 02:59:08,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: There were five main reasons to it.

3970
02:59:08,090 --> 02:59:14,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: One was yung wages tumaas.

3971
02:59:14,090 --> 02:59:16,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pangalawa, entrepreneurship.

3972
02:59:16,090 --> 02:59:19,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So nandun na huhulog yung mga SLP natin.

3973
02:59:19,090 --> 02:59:20,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ibig sabi nakakatulong sila.

3974
02:59:20,090 --> 02:59:21,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And not just us.

3975
02:59:21,090 --> 02:59:27,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: From the small business corporation of DTI, the whole government of approach na DAR, DA, has countryside livelihood.

3976
02:59:27,090 --> 02:59:31,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Lahat yun na pagsasama-sama to entrepreneurship output.

3977
02:59:31,090 --> 02:59:37,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Third lamang, or isa sa pang lima, yung conditional cash transfer na local, which is four-piece.

3978
02:59:37,090 --> 02:59:41,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So meaning, and other transfers, meaning the targeting is working.

3979
02:59:41,090 --> 02:59:44,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nakakontribute siya pero hindi natin nga gusto yun.

3980
02:59:44,090 --> 02:59:48,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And the other two is foreign remittances and pension.

3981
02:59:48,090 --> 02:59:54,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So kung lima yan, sabay ho, nandun yung entrepreneurship and nandun yung cash transfer.

3982
02:59:54,090 --> 03:00:00,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And like I agree with you, na dapat we have to wean off the cash transfer gradually while strengthening entrepreneurship.

3983
03:00:01,420 --> 03:00:16,720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay. And lastly, yung tanong ko lang sa 4Peace. Sir, ilan yung current beneficiary natin ng 4Peace? Ilan yung bagong enrolled sa 4Peace programs? At ilan naman yung mga graduate na sa 4Peace programs?

3984
03:00:16,720 --> 03:00:31,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For the record, nung nagsimula ho ang Marcos administration, 4.4 million ho yan. Laging 4.4. So nagtanong ho, since 2014. So since 2014 till 2022, ang napag-graduate lamang po ay 50,000.

3985
03:00:32,440 --> 03:00:46,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're not saying na walang umangatang buhay doon, but they weren't taking the exit mechanism seriously. But under the Marcos Jr. administration, simula ni Sen. Erwin, ngayon naman tinuloy namin, talagang pinag-igtingin natin yung case management.

3986
03:00:46,720 --> 03:01:00,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Para yung mga dapat lumabas, lumalabas na. So from 2022 till now, 1.7 million families have already exited. Now, ang natinahong sa database natin, from minus that number, is at around 3 million.

3987
03:01:00,760 --> 03:01:12,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Of which, if we are to peg it at the current poverty incidence, dapat 3.5 million na lang sila. Hindi nababalik sa 4.4. So that means by October, we're going to enroll an additional 500,000.

3988
03:01:13,460 --> 03:01:16,700
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay. So, as I mentioned earlier,

3989
03:01:16,720 --> 03:01:39,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Sec. Rec., maraming maraming salamat sa agaran at available na pagtulong doon sa mga calamity-stricken areas doon sa aking lugar. Ito, nasaksihan ko. I'm sure it also happens in other areas, but doon sa distrito ko, meron mga sunog na nangyari nito mga nakaraang buwan at syempre yung pagbabaha.

3990
03:01:39,940 --> 03:01:46,700
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And I was witness that this, the assistance, kagaya nga ng sleeping care,

3991
03:01:46,720 --> 03:01:58,380
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: yung mga food boxes were readily available at walang nahalong politika. Napunta sa tao yung tulong na kinakailangan nila. Maraming salamat.

3992
03:01:58,880 --> 03:01:59,580
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

3993
03:01:59,580 --> 03:02:00,120
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, Congressman.

3994
03:02:00,460 --> 03:02:02,880
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you. Thank you, Cong. Buktsutay.

3995
03:02:04,540 --> 03:02:07,720
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Past 12, may we know the pleasure of the Secretary.

3996
03:02:08,420 --> 03:02:11,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We can keep on continuing, Mr. Chairman, if that is the wish of the Committee.

3997
03:02:11,580 --> 03:02:13,280
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We'll do it over working lunch or what?

3998
03:02:13,460 --> 03:02:16,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Working lunch is fine, Mr. Chairman. I know there are a lot of members who want to...

3999
03:02:16,720 --> 03:02:18,560
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So if you need a break, Secretary...

4000
03:02:18,560 --> 03:02:22,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I will call a break. We will respect whatever the decision of the Committee is.

4001
03:02:22,900 --> 03:02:26,520
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We can have a short break, if you wish.

4002
03:02:27,340 --> 03:02:31,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, again, if I wish, pwede naman tayo, we can go the distance.

4003
03:02:32,640 --> 03:02:33,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pwede tuloy-tuloy.

4004
03:02:33,660 --> 03:02:35,500
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Okay. So we'll do it.

4005
03:02:37,100 --> 03:02:37,700
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you.

4006
03:02:37,700 --> 03:02:42,060
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So we'll just have a working lunch for today.

4007
03:02:44,270 --> 03:02:48,010
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Before we proceed, may I recognize our other members?

4008
03:02:48,030 --> 03:02:48,950
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Members who came in.

4009
03:02:49,830 --> 03:02:55,190
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Assistant Minority Leader Iris Montes.

4010
03:02:58,590 --> 03:03:00,870
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Congressman Mark Inverga.

4011
03:03:01,910 --> 03:03:05,430
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We have Cong. Christine Sison Mian.

4012
03:03:06,550 --> 03:03:09,610
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We have Deputy Minority Leader Grisel Lagman.

4013
03:03:10,790 --> 03:03:13,530
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And Representative Mario Jujuy Salvador.

4014
03:03:13,530 --> 03:03:18,290
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So we proceed.

4015
03:03:19,410 --> 03:03:25,880
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We now recognize Representative Mila Magsaysay.

4016
03:03:26,240 --> 03:03:26,700
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Ma'am Mila.

4017
03:03:31,030 --> 03:03:32,330
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Mr. Secretary,

4018
03:03:34,330 --> 03:03:37,330
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: just for clarification po,

4019
03:03:38,070 --> 03:03:40,410
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: gusto kong marinig mismo sa inyo,

4020
03:03:40,410 --> 03:03:44,610
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: saan po ba dapat under ang NCSC?

4021
03:03:45,070 --> 03:03:46,950
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Sa Office of the President po ba?

4022
03:03:47,110 --> 03:03:48,390
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: O sa DSWD?

4023
03:03:48,590 --> 03:03:50,410
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kasi naguguluhan pong mga senior citizens.

4024
03:03:50,410 --> 03:03:57,750
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: At palaging nagtatanong sa akin kung saan talaga under ang senior citizen, ang NCSC.

4025
03:03:58,510 --> 03:04:01,830
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, masalimuot ho yung sagot.

4026
03:04:02,130 --> 03:04:04,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I'll try to make it as concise as possible.

4027
03:04:04,190 --> 03:04:07,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We will submit to the good committee to be furnished to the good congresswoman

4028
03:04:07,690 --> 03:04:11,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung legal query ng department sa OP.

4029
03:04:11,730 --> 03:04:15,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kung saan sinabi nila, so to speak, na status quo muna po.

4030
03:04:15,790 --> 03:04:18,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meaning we supervise them, but we should not,

4031
03:04:18,710 --> 03:04:20,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we should not,

4032
03:04:20,410 --> 03:04:24,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we should not directly meddle at this point in time because of the legislation passed.

4033
03:04:25,550 --> 03:04:30,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero naka-footnote rin doon that the law on optimization has taken into effect

4034
03:04:30,490 --> 03:04:33,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and meron na rin hong IRR ng optimization.

4035
03:04:34,310 --> 03:04:38,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So meaning nothing stops the department from submitting an optimization plan

4036
03:04:38,110 --> 03:04:40,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: up until na-approve yung optimization plan

4037
03:04:40,450 --> 03:04:44,330
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: tsaka lang namin makukuha yung full control and authority over NCSC.

4038
03:04:44,490 --> 03:04:47,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So for now, it's status quo na independent ho sila sa amin.

4039
03:04:47,590 --> 03:04:50,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: They are merely coordinating with us.

4040
03:04:50,410 --> 03:04:52,330
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For programs and for budget purposes.

4041
03:04:53,410 --> 03:04:55,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For budget purposes also.

4042
03:04:55,990 --> 03:04:59,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For budget purposes, nakasama ho sila sa araw pero ng talakay,

4043
03:04:59,850 --> 03:05:01,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero nakahiwalay ho naman silang line item.

4044
03:05:02,490 --> 03:05:10,250
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kasi sa batas po kasi, under ng Office of the President, ang NCSC.

4045
03:05:11,030 --> 03:05:14,790
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So coordination lang po sa DSWD.

4046
03:05:16,290 --> 03:05:17,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Coordination lamang po.

4047
03:05:18,250 --> 03:05:20,390
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's been very clear by the legal opinion.

4048
03:05:20,410 --> 03:05:23,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The opinion of the Office of the President when we did the query like yourself.

4049
03:05:24,450 --> 03:05:29,050
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Yes po. Kasi sa sulat po kasi ni Executive Secretary Ralph Recto,

4050
03:05:29,570 --> 03:05:34,370
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: lateral relationship, parang coordination lang po ng programs and parties.

4051
03:05:34,370 --> 03:05:39,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Correct. But if you look at that same letter, meron ho yung caveat on optimization.

4052
03:05:39,790 --> 03:05:42,170
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So lumabas na ho recently yung IRR ng optimization.

4053
03:05:42,570 --> 03:05:45,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we did submit our optimization plan that will include NCSC.

4054
03:05:45,930 --> 03:05:49,610
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

4055
03:05:50,410 --> 03:05:55,230
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: And at least na-klaro po kung ano po ang ano ng NCSC.

4056
03:05:55,850 --> 03:06:02,550
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: And number two po, marami po akong reklamong natanggap na sobrang bagal at tagal po

4057
03:06:02,550 --> 03:06:08,250
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: ng accreditation process ng mga home care at elderly facilities.

4058
03:06:08,710 --> 03:06:10,770
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Ano po kaya ang nagiging problema?

4059
03:06:11,570 --> 03:06:14,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I can tell you point blank that we've streamlined it already.

4060
03:06:15,270 --> 03:06:20,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kami na ho siguro may pinaka maikling timetable kapag ka kompleto at pumapasok.

4061
03:06:20,410 --> 03:06:24,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pumapasa. Minsan ho kasi nagre-reklamo pero I can show you if you can give us the names

4062
03:06:24,510 --> 03:06:27,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na minsan hindi ho pumapasa and we have to be very careful.

4063
03:06:28,150 --> 03:06:32,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi ho pwedeng i-insist na gusto nila, gusto nila because kami naman ho ang madadali.

4064
03:06:32,150 --> 03:06:37,390
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kung may pinalusot kaming accreditation na hindi pumapasa sa standards prescribed by the department.

4065
03:06:38,150 --> 03:06:41,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Alam niyo ho, Mr. Chairman, it used to take almost six months to one year

4066
03:06:41,870 --> 03:06:45,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to get a SWADA accredited, registered license and accredited.

4067
03:06:46,170 --> 03:06:48,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kami, as fast as two months time.

4068
03:06:49,290 --> 03:06:49,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tapos?

4069
03:06:49,930 --> 03:06:50,170
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yes.

4070
03:06:50,170 --> 03:06:52,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: As long as you pass the standards.

4071
03:06:52,430 --> 03:06:57,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kaya lang minsan ho kasi they will insist na pasado sila but our recommendation is hindi sila pasado.

4072
03:06:57,910 --> 03:07:01,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So doon ho talaga tumatagal but we do provide technical assistance.

4073
03:07:01,550 --> 03:07:06,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If susundan naman nila yung mga recommendation namin, mapapabilis at makukuha nila yung kanilang accreditation.

4074
03:07:07,350 --> 03:07:08,930
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

4075
03:07:09,350 --> 03:07:12,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And digital rin ho ang aming application.

4076
03:07:12,390 --> 03:07:16,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Streamlined, meaning when you register, sabay na ho ang license to operate.

4077
03:07:16,050 --> 03:07:18,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So two weeks, ay two months lang.

4078
03:07:18,650 --> 03:07:20,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kung pumapasa po.

4079
03:07:20,170 --> 03:07:21,410
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And it's all done online.

4080
03:07:21,570 --> 03:07:24,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi na humano-mano na dinadaanan sa office yung mga requirements.

4081
03:07:25,310 --> 03:07:26,230
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Thank you.

4082
03:07:26,810 --> 03:07:37,530
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Number three, Secretary, under our existing laws po, mayroon pong 1% budget allocation for senior citizens at PWDs

4083
03:07:37,530 --> 03:07:41,110
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: ang bawat ahensya ng National Government Agency.

4084
03:07:41,650 --> 03:07:47,170
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Mayroon po bang monitoring mechanism ang DSWD kung paano po ito nagagamit?

4085
03:07:48,050 --> 03:07:49,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Madam Chair,

4086
03:07:50,170 --> 03:07:54,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We signed a joint memo circular with DBM on its implementation.

4087
03:07:54,390 --> 03:07:59,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And I believe it's DBM through the submissions ng mga ahensya na nagmumonitor ng 1% compliance.

4088
03:08:00,590 --> 03:08:05,670
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So, nagpapakinabangan naman po ng mga senior citizens.

4089
03:08:06,190 --> 03:08:07,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And slash PWD.

4090
03:08:08,550 --> 03:08:09,070
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Thank you.

4091
03:08:10,250 --> 03:08:15,610
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: And number four po, napakarami pong mga reklamo hanggang ngayon

4092
03:08:15,610 --> 03:08:19,610
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: ang mga mahal nating senior citizens tungkol sa payout ng social payout.

4093
03:08:20,170 --> 03:08:22,310
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Pension para sa mga indigent.

4094
03:08:22,750 --> 03:08:24,770
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Ano na po ba ang nangyari?

4095
03:08:25,290 --> 03:08:28,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, yan yung kaninang pinaliliwanag ko kay Congressman Ordanez

4096
03:08:28,710 --> 03:08:33,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na unfortunately, the most of the grievances is inclusion.

4097
03:08:34,070 --> 03:08:39,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, minsan nahihirapan ho kami dahil nga una, kalahati lang naman ho ang funded nung mandate.

4098
03:08:39,870 --> 03:08:40,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi naman ho buo.

4099
03:08:41,170 --> 03:08:47,170
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ibig sabihin, sa dami ho na kailangan i-accommodate, kalahati lang ho lagi taon-taon ang naibibigay sa amin.

4100
03:08:48,010 --> 03:08:49,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pangalawa, siyempre ho minsan lack of information,

4101
03:08:50,170 --> 03:08:57,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nasa-strike off sila sa listahan dahil nga meron silang SSS, GSIS, or other types of pension

4102
03:08:57,310 --> 03:09:02,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na hindi nila naunawaan na pag may ganun ka na kasi maliit lang naman, feeling nila entitled sila

4103
03:09:02,430 --> 03:09:05,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and we personally agree, naaalis sila sa listahan.

4104
03:09:05,490 --> 03:09:09,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And third, yung problema nga ho sa CBMS tulad na nabanggit namin kanina,

4105
03:09:09,170 --> 03:09:13,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: which we've remedied already because nga ngayon, meron ng on-demand purpose

4106
03:09:13,110 --> 03:09:18,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: meaning pag binigay sa amin ng LGN listahan, magka-query na lang kami, maaring wala ka sa CBMS

4107
03:09:18,110 --> 03:09:25,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero pag nasa birth registry ka at wala ka naman sa death registry at ikaw ay matanda na, kasama ka ho kagad.

4108
03:09:26,150 --> 03:09:31,450
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Okay po, kasi yun nga po, yung mga nagbawas kayo, kasi dapat lang humagbawas kayo

4109
03:09:31,450 --> 03:09:36,270
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: kasi may mga nagpe-pension, may mga medyo mayaman na tumatanggap, no?

4110
03:09:36,650 --> 03:09:41,270
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Pero ano pong nangyari, ano pong ba ang gagawin natin dun sa mga nabawas?

4111
03:09:41,430 --> 03:09:45,230
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Hindi ho ba pwedeng doon din iibalik yung mga nabawas?

4112
03:09:46,230 --> 03:09:46,830
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Again,

4113
03:09:48,110 --> 03:09:54,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Again, we have to be, we have to look at the age kasi yung bagong guidelines namin, age muna.

4114
03:09:54,730 --> 03:09:57,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I think you would agree na unahin natin yung pinakamatatanda.

4115
03:09:57,990 --> 03:10:02,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So yung mga na-free up na slot, hinahanap namin sa CBMS yung 90 pababa

4116
03:10:02,850 --> 03:10:07,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and then inuunti-unti namin malagay sila sa listahan.

4117
03:10:09,700 --> 03:10:12,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So it's not geographic in short, it's age.

4118
03:10:13,280 --> 03:10:17,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So titignan namin yung CBMS at yung mga waitlist, unahin natin yung mga pinakamatatanda

4119
03:10:17,740 --> 03:10:19,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and I think that's the most equitable.

4120
03:10:19,420 --> 03:10:22,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At this point in time, nakalahati lang yung funded nung mandate.

4121
03:10:22,920 --> 03:10:26,280
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Siguro mas maganda na ho, siguro universal social pension.

4122
03:10:26,280 --> 03:10:29,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we totally agree 101%.

4123
03:10:29,000 --> 03:10:32,600
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Ang mga seniors, lahat na po sila tatanggap na po.

4124
03:10:33,280 --> 03:10:39,220
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So, paano po ba karami ang ma-existing at operational senior citizens

4125
03:10:39,220 --> 03:10:41,900
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: o elderly facilities natin nationwide?

4126
03:10:42,600 --> 03:10:49,360
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Paano po ang budget allocation determination ng mga DSW-run elderly facilities sa buong bansa?

4127
03:10:49,420 --> 03:10:57,120
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Matagal po na pong binabanggit, kailangan natin ng mas maraming mga residential homes

4128
03:10:57,120 --> 03:11:02,360
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: and facilities for senior citizens who are abandoned, homeless, and neglected.

4129
03:11:03,060 --> 03:11:06,040
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Ano po ang naging hakbang na ninyo dito?

4130
03:11:18,280 --> 03:11:21,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We have four nationwide and admittedly kulang po ito.

4131
03:11:21,740 --> 03:11:23,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And that's why we're asking for more budget.

4132
03:11:23,560 --> 03:11:27,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero tulad din ang paliwanag ko kanina, we are now taking, based on last year's budget,

4133
03:11:27,660 --> 03:11:29,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we are now taking a PPP approach to it.

4134
03:11:29,620 --> 03:11:30,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meaning?

4135
03:11:30,820 --> 03:11:32,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meron na kaming cost of care provision.

4136
03:11:32,300 --> 03:11:35,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kung saan, kung meron namang private na pwede natin doon i-refer,

4137
03:11:36,060 --> 03:11:37,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: DSWD ho magbabayad ng cost of care.

4138
03:11:38,300 --> 03:11:41,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi mas mabilis, mas effective yung pagtatayo ng gano'n.

4139
03:11:41,480 --> 03:11:43,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're almost done with the guidelines.

4140
03:11:43,360 --> 03:11:46,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're just waiting for the final go signal from the DBM.

4141
03:11:47,660 --> 03:11:47,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yeah.

4142
03:11:48,280 --> 03:11:53,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Four for the nationally-run residential care facility.

4143
03:11:53,860 --> 03:11:56,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Three for the LG-run residential care facility.

4144
03:11:57,260 --> 03:11:58,580
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Seven na po lahat.

4145
03:11:58,580 --> 03:12:00,800
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So, sana po matagdagan natin.

4146
03:12:00,820 --> 03:12:04,700
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kasi ang dami po tayong abandoned and homeless senior citizens.

4147
03:12:04,700 --> 03:12:05,180
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: And we agree.

4148
03:12:06,240 --> 03:12:07,320
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Thank you po.

4149
03:12:07,800 --> 03:12:15,060
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: At nito pong mga nakaraang mga linggo, sunod-sunod po ang mga pagulan at pagbaha

4150
03:12:15,060 --> 03:12:16,700
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: dahil sa habagat.

4151
03:12:17,040 --> 03:12:22,140
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Nasusunod po ba sa distribution ng mga relief goods or family food packs

4152
03:12:22,140 --> 03:12:24,680
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: na priority ang mga senior citizens?

4153
03:12:25,200 --> 03:12:27,700
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Tila hindi po ito nangyayari, Secretary.

4154
03:12:27,700 --> 03:12:30,600
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Parang hindi po talagang mahal ng DSWD ang mga senior citizens.

4155
03:12:30,820 --> 03:12:36,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mahal na mahal namin ang mga senior citizens, lalo na po kayo.

4156
03:12:36,780 --> 03:12:39,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, we have to remember.

4157
03:12:40,940 --> 03:12:46,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sa batas sa Local Government Code, ang first responder po talaga ang mga local government units.

4158
03:12:46,840 --> 03:12:52,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang ginagawa lamang ng DSWD is to augment kasi kulang ang kapasidad ng mga LGU.

4159
03:12:52,100 --> 03:13:00,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're proud to say that this tong mga habagat, 3.6 million na family food packs ang lumabas in a span of four months.

4160
03:13:00,820 --> 03:13:05,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ibinabagsak po natin yun sa mga local government units for them to do the last mile distribution.

4161
03:13:05,960 --> 03:13:09,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Dahil wala naman ho kaming sapat na tao to do that or know-how ng terrain.

4162
03:13:09,940 --> 03:13:16,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now, we constantly remind our local social welfare offices to prioritize vulnerable sectors.

4163
03:13:17,200 --> 03:13:22,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Seniors, people with disability, indigenous people, pregnant and lactating women.

4164
03:13:22,380 --> 03:13:28,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pati sa camp management kung saan nagaganap ang pinakamarami na aktividad during an evacuation,

4165
03:13:29,120 --> 03:13:30,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kine-remind din ho namin sila sa protocols.

4166
03:13:30,820 --> 03:13:35,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi, we set the standards, they execute it, we regulate them.

4167
03:13:36,580 --> 03:13:39,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero sa 3.6 million na sana all na ho yun.

4168
03:13:39,600 --> 03:13:44,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, we would assume na dapat nabigyan ho ng mga local government units yung kanila mga senior.

4169
03:13:44,480 --> 03:13:48,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And alam ko mahal na mahal ng mga local government units ang kanila mga senior citizens.

4170
03:13:48,240 --> 03:13:52,520
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Yes, because seniors are the most vulnerable sectors when it comes to calamity.

4171
03:13:52,520 --> 03:14:00,520
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So, for the record, Mr. Chair, I just want to put this in the record that I would like to...

4172
03:14:00,820 --> 03:14:09,820
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: to file a complaint against Region 1 Director Angela Gopela for her arrogance and her...

4173
03:14:11,100 --> 03:14:14,120
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: and doing injustice to the senior citizens.

4174
03:14:14,740 --> 03:14:15,820
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

4175
03:14:16,140 --> 03:14:19,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, we will accept and we will commission the necessary fact-finding

4176
03:14:19,640 --> 03:14:24,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and go through our administrative process and we will report back to the committee.

4177
03:14:24,580 --> 03:14:26,840
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Thank you. She doesn't deserve that position.

4178
03:14:28,380 --> 03:14:30,320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you. Thank you, Kuwang Mila.

4179
03:14:30,820 --> 03:14:35,140
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's all.

4180
03:14:36,200 --> 03:14:39,980
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Maybe, can we take up already the budget of the NCOC or later?

4181
03:14:41,060 --> 03:14:44,780
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Maybe later. I think it's already incorporated.

4182
03:14:45,360 --> 03:14:46,460
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

4183
03:15:07,860 --> 03:15:27,200
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We now recognize Cong. Elijah San Fernando. Is he around? No. So, Representative Edgar Erice...

4184
03:15:27,200 --> 03:15:35,990
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Is he around? Representative Iris Montes.

4185
03:15:35,990 --> 03:15:38,380
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um...

4186
03:15:38,380 --> 03:15:46,120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Magandang tanghali po, Secretary Rex, and to the whole DSWD family. Most of my questions

4187
03:15:46,120 --> 03:15:52,060
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: have been previously asked and have been adequately answered by the secretary so i just have

4188
03:15:52,060 --> 03:16:00,620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: one simple question but before um i i asked that um i was just requested by our colleague

4189
03:16:00,620 --> 03:16:05,920
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Congresswoman Johanne Monich Bautista to ask about her concern

4190
03:16:05,920 --> 03:16:09,260
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Tungkol po ito, Secretary, sa QRF.

4191
03:16:09,260 --> 03:16:12,800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Sa presentation po kasi mapapansin natin,

4192
03:16:12,800 --> 03:16:14,400
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: like for 2025,

4193
03:16:14,400 --> 03:16:16,100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: yung regular niyo po

4194
03:16:16,100 --> 03:16:42,710
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: is 1.25 billion. Tapos nagkaroon po ng replenishment ng 7.8. Sa 2026, 3 billion po, nagkaroon ng replenishment na 9.6. Ang concern lang po ng ating colleague ay for 2027, 1.25 lang daw po. Hindi po ba daw kukulangin? Assured po daw tayo ba na kahit maliit ito ay magre-replenish ulit?

4195
03:16:42,710 --> 03:17:10,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, it's a very good question. Nagagalak ho kami sa tanong na 'yan. Actually, may assurance naman ho na may pondo kasi replenishable. Pero siyempre sa panahon ng sakuna dapat mabilis ho kami, maagap. So nakikiusap ho kami, sumulat rin kami sa committee na sana ma-restore back to its 3 billion level. At dati napagbigyan naman ho kami para mas mabilis kami na nakaka-responde, lalo na sabay-sabay ho yung sakuna. It's no longer contained in one area; it's multi-region.

4196
03:17:10,740 --> 03:17:11,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So sana ho mabalik ho talaga kami.

4197
03:17:11,940 --> 03:17:16,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We are earnestly asking the committee to consider because ho

4198
03:17:16,100 --> 03:17:23,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: maaapektuhan yung turnaround time namin sa pag-responde, pag-procure, paglatag ng emergency cash transfer.

4199
03:17:24,180 --> 03:17:32,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And I want to point out, para lang sa kaalaman ng lahat, wala namang dagdag na cost sa gobyerno dahil nandun lang siya nakalagak sa QRF ng national.

4200
03:17:32,580 --> 03:17:37,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, sana lang lakihan yung seed capital ng QRF namin para mas mabilis kaming makaresponde.

4201
03:17:37,560 --> 03:17:48,320
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Secretary. This representation shares your sentiments and I do support that we restore your 2026 QRF levels.

4202
03:17:49,420 --> 03:17:55,960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Moving on to my question, a simple question, Mr. Chair.

4203
03:17:57,580 --> 03:18:06,960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: The DSWD has repeatedly faced challenges in ensuring timely and targeted delivery of social protection programs.

4204
03:18:07,560 --> 03:18:17,380
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Yan po ay nasabi nyo na, nabanggit nyo na during the lead committee hearings at kanina po, parang nire-iterate po ninyo uli.

4205
03:18:17,900 --> 03:18:23,420
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Dahil po, meron tayong fragmented and disconnected data system.

4206
03:18:24,180 --> 03:18:30,400
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, wala po tayong real-time na accurate na data.

4207
03:18:30,400 --> 03:18:36,800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, medyo nahihirapan po tayo to roll out sa part po ninyo yung mga social protection programs.

4208
03:18:37,000 --> 03:18:37,320
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Ano po?

4209
03:18:37,560 --> 03:18:50,100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: That is why this representation, ang kababaihan kabalikatan para sa kapakanan at kaunlaran ng bayan, actively participated during the lead committee hearings.

4210
03:18:50,680 --> 03:19:00,600
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Out of that, the 4K has filed at least six or seven interventions, one of which is House Bill 9084.

4211
03:19:00,600 --> 03:19:06,600
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: It calls for the establishment of a national and integrated registry system.

4212
03:19:07,560 --> 03:19:10,700
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: That is interoperable to address this gap.

4213
03:19:11,340 --> 03:19:17,640
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, the system establishes the foundational mechanism for efficient, transparent, and responsive governance.

4214
03:19:17,640 --> 03:19:36,720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: It also proposes a system that builds on existing national initiatives, such as the Philippine identification system and social registries, transforming them into a unified data ecosystem that supports inclusive growth and digital transformation.

4215
03:19:37,560 --> 03:19:47,700
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, it also addresses the long-standing fragmentation of government data systems, which limit efficiency and effectiveness of public service delivery.

4216
03:19:48,140 --> 03:20:05,700
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: But beyond Mr. Secretary, a single registry, what the country truly needs is an integrated yet interoperable system that connects administrative registries like LGU household records, barangay level data,

4217
03:20:05,700 --> 03:20:12,560
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: data, sa civil registration and identification systems naman po, nakapaloob sana doon yung

4218
03:20:12,560 --> 03:20:16,560
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: PhilSys, birth and death records, and national ID.

4219
03:20:17,380 --> 03:20:22,600
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Dapat meron din po sigurong component na sectoral and program-based registries.

4220
03:20:23,260 --> 03:20:30,220
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Nandoon po yung 4Ps, yung senior citizen, yung PWDs, meron pong disaster response list,

4221
03:20:30,620 --> 03:20:32,960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: education, and labor database.

4222
03:20:32,960 --> 03:20:37,900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Sa social registry naman po, dapat meron mga poverty targeting mechanism,

4223
03:20:38,480 --> 03:20:47,820
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: household vulnerability mapping, meron din pong PhilHealth, GSIS, SSS, DepEd, DOLE, and LGU databases.

4224
03:20:48,160 --> 03:20:56,660
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, only by linking the systems can we ensure real-time, accurate, and inclusive targeting of beneficiaries,

4225
03:20:56,660 --> 03:21:02,120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: while also, kapaloob din po doon sa bill, pag-safeguard ng data privacy and accountability.

4226
03:21:02,120 --> 03:21:13,220
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, ang simpleng tanong ko lamang po, Mr. Secretary, does the department view this integration as a step towards the right direction?

4227
03:21:13,780 --> 03:21:17,120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And will the Secretary support this reform?

4228
03:21:17,800 --> 03:21:25,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, in fact, we are doing a small pilot inside the department, a social registry that integrates our own databases

4229
03:21:25,920 --> 03:21:28,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: from 4Ps, Walang Gutong, the program databases.

4230
03:21:28,760 --> 03:21:31,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But it would be nice if it's scaled up to a national level.

4231
03:21:31,560 --> 03:21:32,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we're fully supportive.

4232
03:21:33,760 --> 03:21:36,760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair.

4233
03:21:37,460 --> 03:21:40,160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: I will furnish you po a copy of my bill.

4234
03:21:40,460 --> 03:21:45,160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And I will appreciate if you can take a good look at it.

4235
03:21:45,460 --> 03:21:52,760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And siguro po, you can share, you can review, send some comments and inputs to improve the bill.

4236
03:21:53,060 --> 03:22:01,160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And if you find it helpful and necessary, perhaps I will just request the Secretary to bring it up, perhaps, to the Executive.

4237
03:22:01,160 --> 03:22:10,060
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Department for its passage or for it to be a priority of this Congress.

4238
03:22:10,060 --> 03:22:12,560
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Secretary Rex.

4239
03:22:12,560 --> 03:22:18,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, we'll gladly accept that we already registered our full support to the bill in writing early on.

4240
03:22:18,360 --> 03:22:22,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, we'll gladly accept and see if there are new angles that you want us to comment on.

4241
03:22:23,940 --> 03:22:26,040
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Mr. Chair, that would be all.

4242
03:22:27,840 --> 03:22:28,540
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you.

4243
03:22:39,710 --> 03:22:41,310
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: May we recognize

4244
03:22:42,910 --> 03:22:44,710
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Representative

4245
03:22:45,010 --> 03:22:46,910
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Johanne Monich Bautista.

4246
03:22:48,110 --> 03:22:49,410
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

4247
03:22:49,410 --> 03:22:54,810
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: And magandang hapon po sa DSWD family, Secretary Rex Gatchalian.

4248
03:22:56,410 --> 03:23:00,010
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I believe my, one of my questions was asked earlier by Kong Iris.

4249
03:23:00,010 --> 03:23:01,110
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Thank you very much po.

4250
03:23:01,110 --> 03:23:04,710
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I akala ko po hindi ako makakabalik agad, but now I'm here.

4251
03:23:05,110 --> 03:23:10,610
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I just wanted to join my colleagues who already expressed their

4252
03:23:12,010 --> 03:23:12,710
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: support.

4253
03:23:12,910 --> 03:23:19,310
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: And commendation to the DSWD family, of course, under the outstanding leadership of Secretary

4254
03:23:19,310 --> 03:23:24,010
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Rex Gatchalian for their timely and effective delivery of social services.

4255
03:23:24,010 --> 03:23:30,010
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Kitang-kita po natin sa bawat sakuna, sa bawat trahedya po, nandyan po on the ground, always

4256
03:23:30,010 --> 03:23:32,410
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: at the forefront ang ating DSWD.

4257
03:23:32,410 --> 03:23:34,710
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Maraming salamat po sa inyong servisyo.

4258
03:23:34,710 --> 03:23:42,410
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: And with that, I express my full support para po sa budget ng DSWD.

4259
03:23:42,410 --> 03:23:45,310
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Marami pa pong mga kailangang idagdag.

4260
03:23:45,310 --> 03:23:49,710
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Nabanggit na po kanina, kagaya po nung AICS, hindi ko na po babanggitin kasi I believe

4261
03:23:49,710 --> 03:23:59,510
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: as Secrex was able to explain and justify the need to at least return the amount that

4262
03:23:59,510 --> 03:24:01,310
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: was removed under the NEP.

4263
03:24:01,310 --> 03:24:09,010
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: And then yung QRF din po na nabanggit ni Kong Iris Montes kanina, nakita naman po natin,

4264
03:24:09,010 --> 03:24:11,510
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: quick response, importante po yan.

4265
03:24:11,510 --> 03:24:17,410
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Kita naman din po natin na itong pondong po ito ay diretsyo naman po yan sa mga tao.

4266
03:24:17,410 --> 03:24:25,410
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: So tayo po ay hindi po dapat magdalawang isip at maging panatag po tayo kung dadagdagan

4267
03:24:25,410 --> 03:24:29,410
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: po natin ang pondong ito na kailangan po ng DSWD.

4268
03:24:29,410 --> 03:24:36,410
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Siguro po just one more question, since natanong na po yung QRF kanina.

4269
03:24:36,410 --> 03:24:40,410
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: On behalf lang po ng ating mga workers po.

4270
03:24:40,410 --> 03:24:48,310
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Mr. Chair, kasi po siguro the good secretary can explain.

4271
03:24:48,310 --> 03:24:56,310
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Ang hinanaing po kasi ng iba po sa ating mga workers, sinasabi po nila na they feel like

4272
03:24:56,310 --> 03:25:02,310
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: minsan po na pag iiwanan sila pagdating sa mga social services po ng ating gobyerno.

4273
03:25:02,310 --> 03:25:08,310
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Dahil of course hindi ko naman po sinasabi na definitely priority po natin yung mga higit

4274
03:25:08,310 --> 03:25:09,310
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: na nangangailangan.

4275
03:25:09,310 --> 03:25:17,210
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: But then we also have our minimum wage earners, even our middle class workers na isang emergency,

4276
03:25:17,210 --> 03:25:25,210
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: medical emergency lang, isang namatayan ay maapektuhan na po ang kanilang finances.

4277
03:25:25,210 --> 03:25:34,210
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: So maybe the good secretary can explain or inform our minimum wage workers, yung pong

4278
03:25:34,210 --> 03:25:37,210
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: mga nagtatrabaho nating mga kababayan.

4279
03:25:37,210 --> 03:25:39,210
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: That they are also covered.

4280
03:25:39,310 --> 03:25:42,210
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: And entitled to the programs of the DSWD.

4281
03:25:42,210 --> 03:25:46,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, I just want to again point out na ang AICS ho is for everybody.

4282
03:25:46,210 --> 03:25:50,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It looks at the crisis situation more than the income level.

4283
03:25:50,210 --> 03:25:55,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So lagi namin sinasabi magtungo lang ho sa aming mga tanggapan para ma-assess ng social

4284
03:25:55,210 --> 03:25:56,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: worker natin.

4285
03:25:56,210 --> 03:25:58,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And in fact, I just don't have the data with me.

4286
03:25:58,210 --> 03:26:00,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We will gladly furnish the committee.

4287
03:26:00,210 --> 03:26:05,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: A percentage, a real significant percentage of AIICS really goes to those above the middle

4288
03:26:05,210 --> 03:26:06,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: class.

4289
03:26:06,210 --> 03:26:08,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So those above the poverty threshold, the near poor.

4290
03:26:08,310 --> 03:26:09,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: All the way to 50%.

4291
03:26:09,310 --> 03:26:13,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I just don't have the percentages right now but we'll send it to you.

4292
03:26:13,210 --> 03:26:19,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It goes to show na yung crisis in crisis situation yung tinitignan.

4293
03:26:19,210 --> 03:26:25,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now number two, the president also instructed us to widen the lalo na ngayong energy emergency.

4294
03:26:25,210 --> 03:26:31,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's why the uplift assistance has three components to it of which yung pangatlo is

4295
03:26:31,210 --> 03:26:33,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: targeting low wage earners.

4296
03:26:33,210 --> 03:26:36,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: These are above minimum wage earners ng SSS.

4297
03:26:36,210 --> 03:26:38,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's around 1.5 million.

4298
03:26:38,210 --> 03:26:46,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang na-service na namin around 800,000 kasi tulad na nabanggit ko kanina dormant yung beneficiary

4299
03:26:46,110 --> 03:26:48,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: accounts ng marami sa kanila.

4300
03:26:48,110 --> 03:26:53,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But we're working on that with SSS to try to look for more of them para ma-exhaust natin

4301
03:26:53,110 --> 03:27:00,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung 1.5 the monthly allocation na tigta 2,000 para sa ating mga SSS low wage earners.

4302
03:27:00,210 --> 03:27:01,210
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Thank you po.

4303
03:27:01,210 --> 03:27:06,210
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: And thank you for that explanation po from our Secretary Rex Gatchalian.

4304
03:27:06,210 --> 03:27:07,210
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I think yun lang po.

4305
03:27:07,210 --> 03:27:09,110
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I think yun lang po ang aking ipo-point out.

4306
03:27:09,110 --> 03:27:11,110
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Nasagot naman po.

4307
03:27:11,110 --> 03:27:18,110
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: And again, I just wanted to manifest our sincere appreciation to the good Secretary and the

4308
03:27:18,110 --> 03:27:22,110
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: entire DSWD family for all their hard work 24-7.

4309
03:27:22,110 --> 03:27:25,110
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Mapaulan, mapabagyo, nandyan po sila.

4310
03:27:25,110 --> 03:27:31,110
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Maraming salamat po and we manifest our strong support for the needed budget and the requested

4311
03:27:31,110 --> 03:27:33,110
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: additional budget of the DSWD.

4312
03:27:33,110 --> 03:27:35,110
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair.

4313
03:27:35,740 --> 03:27:36,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

4314
03:27:37,210 --> 03:27:39,110
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you.

4315
03:27:41,940 --> 03:27:46,730
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We now recognize Representative Krisel Lagman.

4316
03:27:49,160 --> 03:27:50,980
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

4317
03:27:50,980 --> 03:27:52,840
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Hindi pa kumakain si Secretary.

4318
03:27:52,840 --> 03:28:01,840
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Iba talaga pag rooted sa local government ang head ng department.

4319
03:28:01,840 --> 03:28:04,840
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Lalong-lalo na pagdating sa social services.

4320
03:28:04,840 --> 03:28:10,840
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Damang-dama po namin ang hands-on approach

4321
03:28:10,840 --> 03:28:14,740
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: and holistic approach ng inyong paggogobyerno, Secretary Rex.

4322
03:28:14,740 --> 03:28:22,740
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Ang Tabaco, Albay, laging nasasalanta.

4323
03:28:22,740 --> 03:28:25,740
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Maging bagyo man yan o mga volcanic eruptions.

4324
03:28:25,740 --> 03:28:35,740
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Itong nakaraan ang pinakamahaba na evacuation time sa loob ng evacuation centers.

4325
03:28:35,740 --> 03:28:38,740
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Inabot po sa 7 buwan.

4326
03:28:38,740 --> 03:28:39,740
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: 7 buwan.

4327
03:28:39,740 --> 03:28:45,640
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Nagsimula ng January 6 at nag-decamp ng August 6.

4328
03:28:45,640 --> 03:28:47,640
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So, 7 months po.

4329
03:28:47,640 --> 03:28:51,640
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: And hindi po talaga nagpabaya ang DSWD.

4330
03:28:51,640 --> 03:28:55,640
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Naandito ang aming regional director, si RD Norman Laurio.

4331
03:28:55,640 --> 03:29:05,640
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: And nagpapasalamat po ako sa agaran at maliksi na pag-responde niya sa mga pangailangan ng aming mga evacuees.

4332
03:29:05,640 --> 03:29:09,640
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Suficiente rin po yung pinamimigay.

4333
03:29:09,740 --> 03:29:20,640
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: In fact, every 15 days, may binibigay na good for 3 days na food packs.

4334
03:29:20,640 --> 03:29:29,640
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So, sa isang buwan, nakaka-receive ng mga around 9 to 10 boxes ang aming mga families.

4335
03:29:29,640 --> 03:29:32,640
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Ito lang po ang aking comment.

4336
03:29:32,640 --> 03:29:35,640
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: First is, wala pong pinipili.

4337
03:29:35,640 --> 03:29:39,540
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Ang ibig kong sabihin, maging isang miyembro lang ng pamilya,

4338
03:29:39,540 --> 03:29:41,440
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: o sampung miyembro ng pamilya,

4339
03:29:41,440 --> 03:29:45,440
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: eh ang ibinabahagi po ay isang kahon.

4340
03:29:45,440 --> 03:29:49,440
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: And every 3 days po sila nakaka-receive nito.

4341
03:29:49,440 --> 03:29:55,440
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Baka maaari po na maging mas maayos ang pagbabahagi nito.

4342
03:29:55,440 --> 03:29:59,440
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kasi ang isang pamilya na may isang miyembro,

4343
03:30:00,000 --> 03:30:10,440
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: At makakareceive ng 6 kilos of rice every 3 days ay napakalaki po na appropriation na sana ay napunta doon sa mas malalaking pamilya.

4344
03:30:10,920 --> 03:30:12,640
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So, iyon po ang isang comment ko.

4345
03:30:13,180 --> 03:30:15,320
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Pangalawa rin naman po yung variety.

4346
03:30:15,680 --> 03:30:18,900
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Alam ko kakaiba ang sitwasyon namin sa Albay.

4347
03:30:18,900 --> 03:30:24,040
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Hindi all the time ay ganito kahaba ang evacuation.

4348
03:30:25,500 --> 03:30:28,920
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Ang iba ilang araw lang, baka linggo.

4349
03:30:28,920 --> 03:30:32,200
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Pero nangyayari po at nangyayari pa lang.

4350
03:30:32,420 --> 03:30:38,180
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kaya ang pakiusap ko po sana may variety rin ang laman ng mga boxes natin.

4351
03:30:40,420 --> 03:30:45,380
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: And sana po naandito ang chairman ng Ways and Means Committee.

4352
03:30:45,380 --> 03:30:48,140
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Katabi ko po si chairman.

4353
03:30:48,940 --> 03:30:56,640
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: And napansin po namin ay yung madali pong ma-distribute at matagal ang shelf life ang nilalagay natin.

4354
03:30:56,820 --> 03:30:57,160
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Siyempre.

4355
03:30:57,500 --> 03:30:58,840
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kasi mahabaan.

4356
03:30:58,920 --> 03:31:00,300
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Ang storage nito.

4357
03:31:00,740 --> 03:31:10,000
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Subalit sana po instead of 3-in-1 coffee na loaded po talaga sa asukal at flavorings,

4358
03:31:10,540 --> 03:31:13,180
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: baka po po pwedeng stick na lang ng coffee.

4359
03:31:14,240 --> 03:31:19,540
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Baka mas marami pang mabibili kesa sa limang pakete ng 3-in-1.

4360
03:31:19,700 --> 03:31:22,980
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Baka po pwedeng isang dosena na ng stick ng coffee.

4361
03:31:23,380 --> 03:31:27,040
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kasi at least yun totoong kape at hindi loaded sa asukal.

4362
03:31:27,040 --> 03:31:30,740
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Nakalagay rin po doon ay Ovaltine.

4363
03:31:31,660 --> 03:31:34,440
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: And maganda po yun para sa mga bata.

4364
03:31:34,680 --> 03:31:38,120
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Pero sana magkaroon ng mas nutritious na substitute.

4365
03:31:38,680 --> 03:31:43,220
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kasi ang tinitingnan lang po natin ay hindi lang yung may pantawid gutom,

4366
03:31:43,660 --> 03:31:48,900
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: kundi sana nutritious din po ang laman ng ating pinamimigay.

4367
03:31:49,420 --> 03:31:51,880
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So wala po akong masyadong reklamo, sir.

4368
03:31:53,320 --> 03:31:54,920
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Mabilis ang aksyon.

4369
03:31:55,920 --> 03:31:56,400
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Sustained.

4370
03:31:57,040 --> 03:31:59,920
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Masyado nga pong na-pamper yung mga LGUs.

4371
03:32:00,420 --> 03:32:03,840
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kasi under your watch, ngayon lang namin naramdaman

4372
03:32:03,840 --> 03:32:08,080
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: na hindi na iisipin ng LGUs kung ano ang ipamimigay.

4373
03:32:08,260 --> 03:32:10,600
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kasi sustained siya.

4374
03:32:10,720 --> 03:32:15,120
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Hindi lang siya quick response, pero sustained ang response.

4375
03:32:15,340 --> 03:32:18,660
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Tuloy, yung probinsya ng Albay, for instance,

4376
03:32:19,240 --> 03:32:21,680
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: once lang namihagi ng bigas.

4377
03:32:21,680 --> 03:32:26,120
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: At nung pag-decamp, doon nagbigay pa ng fresh food.

4378
03:32:27,040 --> 03:32:32,240
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Yung mga LGUs naman po ay hindi na gumagamit ng kanilang quick response funds.

4379
03:32:32,600 --> 03:32:35,700
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kasi umasa na lahat sa DSWD.

4380
03:32:36,280 --> 03:32:41,980
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So kanina sinabi ninyo na kayo ang pang-augment.

4381
03:32:42,480 --> 03:32:44,280
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Hindi po ganun ang nangyayari.

4382
03:32:44,480 --> 03:32:47,940
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So palagay ko may mali rin po doon sa senaryo, sir.

4383
03:32:49,500 --> 03:32:52,200
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kailangan ata mapag-aralan din mabuti.

4384
03:32:52,480 --> 03:32:54,440
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: O mag-guide yung LGU.

4385
03:32:54,440 --> 03:32:56,260
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kapag hindi ka nagbigay,

4386
03:32:57,040 --> 03:33:00,340
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: hindi ba po pwedeng i-ask sa lahat sa DSWD?

4387
03:33:01,060 --> 03:33:05,020
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Lahat ako, salita, hindi ko malang narinig yung response ninyo.

4388
03:33:05,220 --> 03:33:07,200
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So again, maraming salamat po.

4389
03:33:07,520 --> 03:33:09,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, totally agree.

4390
03:33:10,360 --> 03:33:12,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Una ho yung efficiency.

4391
03:33:12,980 --> 03:33:17,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now is the time that we study our options on individuals versus family packs.

4392
03:33:18,560 --> 03:33:22,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mahirap sa logistics sa storekeeping, pero we're up to the challenge.

4393
03:33:22,980 --> 03:33:24,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number two, variety.

4394
03:33:24,180 --> 03:33:26,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi na lang ngayon kasi sa Albay nangyayari.

4395
03:33:27,040 --> 03:33:32,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ito yung protracted disasters, like what we're seeing now in Central Luzon na one month and a half na.

4396
03:33:32,220 --> 03:33:38,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: When those boxes na, we just kept what it was nung na nakuha namin yung control ng department.

4397
03:33:38,940 --> 03:33:44,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tama ko kayo, we have to start thinking of the new type of disasters that's hitting us.

4398
03:33:44,420 --> 03:33:46,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And variety is something that's important.

4399
03:33:46,420 --> 03:33:48,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The food fatigue is something that's real.

4400
03:33:48,820 --> 03:33:50,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At kaya kami nakakarinig rin.

4401
03:33:50,820 --> 03:33:52,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we will take that into account.

4402
03:33:52,820 --> 03:33:56,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But the first two items, well noted, we will study.

4403
03:33:56,860 --> 03:33:58,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mahirap kasi ho.

4404
03:33:58,860 --> 03:34:02,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That means us storekeeping multiple types of packs.

4405
03:34:02,860 --> 03:34:04,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But we're up to the challenge.

4406
03:34:04,860 --> 03:34:08,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number three, yung 3-1 coffee.

4407
03:34:08,860 --> 03:34:10,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ako, I myself drink black and I agree.

4408
03:34:10,860 --> 03:34:15,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero gusto ko lang ko i-point out, lahat ho yun, bago nalagay sa kahon, dumadaan sa FNRI.

4409
03:34:15,860 --> 03:34:19,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It passed their minimum standards, but we will review.

4410
03:34:19,860 --> 03:34:21,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Well noted as well, Madam Chair.

4411
03:34:21,860 --> 03:34:24,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, and last but not the least, yun sa QRF.

4412
03:34:24,860 --> 03:34:25,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ma'am, you read my mind.

4413
03:34:25,860 --> 03:34:30,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And you said what I can't say publicly because we're in the middle of a disaster.

4414
03:34:30,860 --> 03:34:38,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But rest assured that we're already talking to DBM because we're seeing slow or low utilization ng mga quick response sa LGU level.

4415
03:34:38,860 --> 03:34:46,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And I would also point out nga na unlike the national QRF na na-exhaust sa lokal, you know this very well,

4416
03:34:46,860 --> 03:34:50,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nare-revert yan after two years or three years into the general fund.

4417
03:34:50,860 --> 03:34:52,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Five years pala, sorry, five years.

4418
03:34:52,860 --> 03:34:55,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I haven't practiced local government in more than four years now.

4419
03:34:55,860 --> 03:35:00,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we have to really think about what you said.

4420
03:35:00,860 --> 03:35:03,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi ang sinasabi nyo, lagi ko rin yan sinasabi na sa isip ko.

4421
03:35:03,860 --> 03:35:08,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero we're going to find a way to make the LGUs counterpart man lang.

4422
03:35:08,860 --> 03:35:11,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi nga, like I said, mabigat na ng pabigat.

4423
03:35:11,860 --> 03:35:22,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And I hope we see lang kasi the only reason why we're doing this massive is because in a hungry family, walang national government, walang local government.

4424
03:35:22,860 --> 03:35:24,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pag galit siya sa gobyerno, galit siya sa gobyerno.

4425
03:35:24,860 --> 03:35:26,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kung hindi siya nakakuha ng pagkain, galit siya.

4426
03:35:26,860 --> 03:35:34,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero it's no reason for the lopsided utilization of the QRF.

4427
03:35:34,860 --> 03:35:39,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: While the national government is using its QRF massively to a point na nade-deplete natin,

4428
03:35:39,860 --> 03:35:47,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the local government will look at how they utilize and how to prod them with the help of DILG and DBM to spend their QRFs also.

4429
03:35:47,860 --> 03:35:53,860
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: I would just like to add na maganda yung aksyon na ginawa ng DSWD

4430
03:35:54,860 --> 03:36:04,860
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: na nagbigay ng Emergency Cash Assistance para mabibili nila yung mga [unclear] items na kailangan rin nila.

4431
03:36:04,860 --> 03:36:12,860
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Pero sa 7 buwan at isang Emergency Cash Assistance, baka sa susunod pa pwedeng planuhin na mas madalas.

4432
03:36:12,860 --> 03:36:17,860
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: May cash for work. One cash for work, one emergency cash assistance.

4433
03:36:17,860 --> 03:36:22,860
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So baka mas tingnan natin kung pa paano mabalansihin.

4434
03:36:22,860 --> 03:36:28,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And since it's an ongoing disaster, si Mayon hasn't really de-escalated.

4435
03:36:29,400 --> 03:36:33,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The Undersecretary for Disaster will sit down with a good Congresswoman on packaging more.

4436
03:36:34,300 --> 03:36:38,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But well noted not just for Mayon but for every other protracted disaster.

4437
03:36:39,960 --> 03:36:44,000
Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Maraming maraming salamat, Secretary. And congratulations, job well done.

4438
03:36:46,200 --> 03:36:48,160
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, Kong Lagman.

4439
03:36:48,840 --> 03:36:51,880
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: As if we're running out of interpellators, Mr. Secretary.

4440
03:36:51,880 --> 03:36:57,980
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: The good thing is we have with us the Committee Chair of the Ways and Means.

4441
03:36:58,400 --> 03:37:03,960
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We recognize Congressman Miro Quimbo.

4442
03:37:05,100 --> 03:37:06,480
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Thank you very much.

4443
03:37:06,920 --> 03:37:13,280
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Actually, I wasn't supposed to ask you a question, but it seems that for the first time we're running out of warm bodies.

4444
03:37:13,280 --> 03:37:21,860
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So just to keep the conversation going, well, I mean honestly, I have nothing to ask.

4445
03:37:21,980 --> 03:37:26,500
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Because how do you fix something that's already working?

4446
03:37:28,800 --> 03:37:32,480
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I think we have very hardworking employees.

4447
03:37:34,060 --> 03:37:36,800
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: The response time has become so much quicker.

4448
03:37:38,220 --> 03:37:47,740
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Even in terms of professionalizing the distribution and pickup of our pag-asa boxes.

4449
03:37:48,100 --> 03:37:49,480
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: How do we call our boxes again?

4450
03:37:49,620 --> 03:37:50,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Family food box.

4451
03:37:50,700 --> 03:37:51,700
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Family food box.

4452
03:37:51,880 --> 03:38:01,220
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I said that earlier, in previous years, parang kahon ng pag-asa.

4453
03:38:01,680 --> 03:38:03,960
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Because it does. I mean, that's what it does.

4454
03:38:04,020 --> 03:38:13,260
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Meaning when people see it, it's already a symbol of something that addresses deep wants at a very dire moment.

4455
03:38:13,920 --> 03:38:18,020
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So tingin ko, baka pag-isipan natin, it's too businesslike.

4456
03:38:18,020 --> 03:38:20,960
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: It's too Rex Gatchal yan.

4457
03:38:21,880 --> 03:38:27,520
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Parang it's part of a key performance indicator.

4458
03:38:28,000 --> 03:38:29,320
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Parang ganun ang dating eh, di ba?

4459
03:38:29,960 --> 03:38:31,100
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: What's it called? Family?

4460
03:38:31,340 --> 03:38:32,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Family food pack.

4461
03:38:33,480 --> 03:38:33,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: FFP.

4462
03:38:34,160 --> 03:38:35,000
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Palitan mo na yun.

4463
03:38:35,400 --> 03:38:36,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We will, Mr. Chair.

4464
03:38:37,000 --> 03:38:41,540
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I think with something more, yeah, something more spiritual, di ba?

4465
03:38:41,560 --> 03:38:42,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hopeful, yeah.

4466
03:38:42,220 --> 03:38:44,000
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Yeah, yung aspirational.

4467
03:38:44,000 --> 03:38:51,780
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: But anyway, so even the way that it's managed, the way they are packed, these are very simple things.

4468
03:38:51,880 --> 03:38:57,640
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: But even on the part of the end user, you see them very much satisfied.

4469
03:38:57,640 --> 03:39:05,440
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: And even the way it is packed today, I have rarely heard of anyone actually na, ang tawag dyan, binuburiki eh.

4470
03:39:06,160 --> 03:39:11,580
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Yung dinidismantle and then nilalagay in their own political packaging.

4471
03:39:12,120 --> 03:39:13,600
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Hindi ko na rin nababalitaan yan eh.

4472
03:39:13,900 --> 03:39:16,580
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Kasi sobrang hirap yata i-unbundle.

4473
03:39:16,760 --> 03:39:18,560
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Tanggal pala yung scotch tape dyan, di ba?

4474
03:39:19,160 --> 03:39:21,360
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, but like I said,

4475
03:39:21,880 --> 03:39:25,680
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: yung tanong ko na lang is really on senior citizen pension.

4476
03:39:26,680 --> 03:39:34,440
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, I've seen that while the budget for this, for next year, is actually lower, slightly lower from this year.

4477
03:39:34,440 --> 03:39:43,400
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Despite the fact that the target has increased by, I think, more than 50,000, ang additional beneficiaries.

4478
03:39:43,920 --> 03:39:45,840
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Pero bakit mas mababa yung budget?

4479
03:39:47,440 --> 03:39:49,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, ano kasi yun?

4480
03:39:50,160 --> 03:39:51,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Congressional amendment?

4481
03:39:51,880 --> 03:39:52,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung nadagdag?

4482
03:39:53,380 --> 03:39:55,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And even that, kasi kapos na kapos eh.

4483
03:39:55,540 --> 03:40:01,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We are fully supportive of the provision that you've been pushing together with former Congresswoman Stella

4484
03:40:01,060 --> 03:40:06,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: on a universal senior pension, social pension for senior citizens.

4485
03:40:06,800 --> 03:40:09,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It will address the public perception na pinipili.

4486
03:40:10,740 --> 03:40:11,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we totally agree.

4487
03:40:12,140 --> 03:40:16,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sana hawa, huwag lang ma-restore, but we add more to cater to all of them.

4488
03:40:17,440 --> 03:40:21,500
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Yeah, I think, Chairman, the point here relative to senior citizens,

4489
03:40:21,880 --> 03:40:26,880
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: and pension is, nothing can be worse when you're doing a great program,

4490
03:40:27,060 --> 03:40:29,720
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: but you receive more criticisms than praises.

4491
03:40:30,240 --> 03:40:34,400
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Because yung tumatanggap, kadalasan di naman nagpapasalamat na eh, diba?

4492
03:40:35,460 --> 03:40:40,100
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Pero yung hindi nakakatanggap na karamihan, ay yun ang pinuputakti tayo.

4493
03:40:40,460 --> 03:40:42,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Actually, Mr. Chairman, tama ho yun. Plus minus eh.

4494
03:40:42,640 --> 03:40:44,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi mas malaki yung minus than yung plus.

4495
03:40:44,480 --> 03:40:49,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi at the running rate of 11 million senior citizens, and we're only catering to 4.5 to 5,

4496
03:40:49,300 --> 03:40:51,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that means yung 6 na milyon na hindi nakakatanggap,

4497
03:40:51,880 --> 03:40:55,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: minus dun sa lamang pahuyong hindi nakatanggap na galit.

4498
03:40:55,880 --> 03:40:59,060
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: At saka, ayoko naman lahat eh, pero marami sa ating mga kababayan,

4499
03:40:59,500 --> 03:41:01,220
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: katatanggap pa lang ng benepisyo,

4500
03:41:01,760 --> 03:41:06,880
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: ang susunod ay imbis sa magsabi ng maraming salamat sa Pangulo, sa DSWD,

4501
03:41:07,920 --> 03:41:10,880
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: ang kadalasan nadidinig ko eh, ano pa kaya susunod?

4502
03:41:11,880 --> 03:41:16,400
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Diba? So, I really think that the program needs to be expanded.

4503
03:41:16,400 --> 03:41:21,680
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, there's an existing proposal here to have a reduced,

4504
03:41:21,880 --> 03:41:26,180
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: ah, amount for the new ones, meaning instead of 1,000 a month,

4505
03:41:26,740 --> 03:41:29,940
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: 500 pesos a month lang so that the outlay becomes half.

4506
03:41:30,400 --> 03:41:34,700
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: And I think it's going to be more palatable and obviously it's going to be more affordable.

4507
03:41:35,460 --> 03:41:41,100
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Sabi ko nga, Sek, imbis na dinadala sa kung ano-ano flood control, dito lang natin dalhin.

4508
03:41:41,480 --> 03:41:43,480
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Kasi dito mas napapakinabangan pa ng tao.

4509
03:41:43,920 --> 03:41:48,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, we agree 101% on both counts.

4510
03:41:49,560 --> 03:41:50,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Half, but everybody.

4511
03:41:50,940 --> 03:41:56,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And at the same time, yun nga, we put our money where we know na talagang direkto sa tao.

4512
03:41:56,940 --> 03:41:58,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Huwag lang magalit ko si Sekvin sa akin.

4513
03:41:59,160 --> 03:42:01,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi that means a minus to his side.

4514
03:42:02,100 --> 03:42:09,420
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Yeah, at the appropriate time, Mr. Chairman, we will move that more funding be given dito.

4515
03:42:09,620 --> 03:42:15,400
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Kasi, you know, it's so hard to explain to our SSS and GSIS pensioners,

4516
03:42:15,760 --> 03:42:20,340
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: especially our SS pensioners who only get a pension of, on the average,

4517
03:42:20,460 --> 03:42:20,920
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: between

4518
03:42:20,920 --> 03:42:22,040
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: three to five thousand a month.

4519
03:42:22,680 --> 03:42:27,560
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, ang tingin talaga nila is bakit kami paparasahan na nagsipag kami.

4520
03:42:27,900 --> 03:42:32,200
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: For lack of a better explanation, is ang tingin nila is kami nagtrabaho,

4521
03:42:32,340 --> 03:42:35,280
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: o yung asawa namin nagtrabaho, kaya may survivor pension kami,

4522
03:42:35,780 --> 03:42:37,860
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: but we are automatically disqualified.

4523
03:42:38,340 --> 03:42:44,440
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: While itong kapitbahay namin na buong buhay niya ay walang kinontribute sa economy in terms of livelihood,

4524
03:42:45,540 --> 03:42:50,880
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: siya ay nari-rewardan when the source of the funds really come from,

4525
03:42:50,920 --> 03:42:52,840
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: taxpayers, including themselves,

4526
03:42:53,000 --> 03:42:58,360
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: especially since they had been paying compensation taxes during their entire working life.

4527
03:42:58,620 --> 03:43:00,680
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, ang hirap i-justify, eh.

4528
03:43:00,780 --> 03:43:04,200
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: And I think nadidiminish yung ganda ng programa.

4529
03:43:05,160 --> 03:43:12,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, we totally agree, and we're 101% behind that concept na huwag ipinalize yung mga may pension.

4530
03:43:13,440 --> 03:43:14,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And sang-ayon ho kami.

4531
03:43:15,360 --> 03:43:20,520
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: At sana, Secretary, is we really move towards,

4532
03:43:20,920 --> 03:43:25,140
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: a more contactless electronic transfer.

4533
03:43:25,800 --> 03:43:29,900
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Kasi, kawawa rin yung ating mga beneficiaries, kailangan pa i-biyahe,

4534
03:43:30,340 --> 03:43:31,820
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: especially mga senior citizens.

4535
03:43:32,580 --> 03:43:37,140
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: At wala naman akong pinapatunguhan o pinaparinggan,

4536
03:43:37,280 --> 03:43:40,760
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: pero gusto-gusto na ibang mga politiko na iniipon, eh.

4537
03:43:41,260 --> 03:43:45,300
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Di ba, iniipon, magtatagal yung mga ating mga lolo't lola,

4538
03:43:45,840 --> 03:43:50,020
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: at nakikita mo, talagang they will have to hire tricycles to get to the venue,

4539
03:43:50,120 --> 03:43:50,820
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: They have to pay 150 pesos

4540
03:43:50,920 --> 03:43:54,260
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: one way, so 300 piso ka agad yun, di ba?

4541
03:43:54,400 --> 03:43:56,120
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, ang laking na ibabawas.

4542
03:43:57,680 --> 03:44:05,020
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Sabi ko nga is, we need to keep pushing towards an electronic, more seamless distribution system.

4543
03:44:05,940 --> 03:44:11,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, in fact, that move is already being done in the uplift assistance bucket 2.

4544
03:44:12,040 --> 03:44:16,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kanina na talakay ho namin na we're working with the BSP on banking the unbanked,

4545
03:44:16,460 --> 03:44:17,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lalo na sa mahirap.

4546
03:44:17,140 --> 03:44:19,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We saw in UPLIFT bucket number two, yung poor at near poor.

4547
03:44:20,920 --> 03:44:23,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung poor, almost 80% are unbanked.

4548
03:44:24,240 --> 03:44:28,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's why what we did with the BSP is to get the banks and the e-wallets on site already.

4549
03:44:28,960 --> 03:44:39,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, pag-payout, nire-register na rin namin with the hopes of banking that 2.5 million na mga Pilipino na mahihirap at near poor na walang banko.

4550
03:44:39,440 --> 03:44:40,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But we totally agree, Mr. Chairman.

4551
03:44:42,080 --> 03:44:45,380
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I just hope that it will not also lead to delay, no?

4552
03:44:45,540 --> 03:44:50,640
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Yung while there will be birth pains, meaning registration,

4553
03:44:50,920 --> 03:44:55,920
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: that will take time, but after that, baka pwedeng seamless na talaga.

4554
03:44:56,040 --> 03:44:59,320
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: They get it from Cebuana or they get it from their own.

4555
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:01,650
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: electronic wallets.

4556
03:45:01,650 --> 03:45:11,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, we're gradually growing the database ng poor na walang banko, na walang bank. Yun nga yung sa UPLIFT bucket number two

4557
03:45:11,280 --> 03:45:16,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: with the hopes na on the third tranche, kasi napakaliit lang ho yung may bank account sa first tranche eh.

4558
03:45:16,720 --> 03:45:22,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So hopefully lahat ng mga napapasok namin digital na sila, pero we need to grow it talaga.

4559
03:45:22,400 --> 03:45:24,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Malayo pa ho tayo doon sa may mga bank accounts.

4560
03:45:24,630 --> 03:45:29,790
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Okay, now that there are other warm bodies, I think it's time for me to wrap up.

4561
03:45:31,310 --> 03:45:37,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Bawal ang dead air dito eh. This is the first time, guys, that there's dead air, that no one is actually lined

4562
03:45:37,070 --> 03:45:42,030
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: up. We just had something urgent in the other department. I'd rather have dead air than

4563
03:45:42,030 --> 03:45:52,110
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: having an emergency, no? Secretary, [unclear] problema. But anyway, your regional director is

4564
03:45:52,110 --> 03:45:58,670
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: in NCR, is Attorney MJ Lorico. I don't know if he's here. Is he here?

4565
03:46:01,310 --> 03:46:05,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Asan ba si Attorney MJ? Naku, wala dito.

4566
03:46:07,070 --> 03:46:09,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Nandito kanina. Asan na ba siya?

4567
03:46:09,070 --> 03:46:11,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Oh.

4568
03:46:11,070 --> 03:46:13,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: RD, how are you? Ayan.

4569
03:46:13,070 --> 03:46:15,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Anytime 'yan si RD pag tinatawagan mo,

4570
03:46:15,070 --> 03:46:17,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: te-text mo kaagad 'yan.

4571
03:46:17,070 --> 03:46:19,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: 'Yung pagsagot mabilis din.

4572
03:46:19,070 --> 03:46:21,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Ayan ha.

4573
03:46:21,070 --> 03:46:23,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: RD, maraming salamat ha.

4574
03:46:23,070 --> 03:46:25,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Kalimutan mo na ibang mga city sa Marikina ha.

4575
03:46:25,070 --> 03:46:27,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Sa NCR ha.

4576
03:46:27,070 --> 03:46:29,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Unahin mong parati kami

4577
03:46:29,070 --> 03:46:31,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: dahil kami parating nasasalanta.

4578
03:46:31,310 --> 03:46:49,070
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Okay. Maraming salamat, RD, sa buong DSWD family. Hindi ba kayo nagsasawa? Puro papuri. Dapat na yata i-terminate na ito eh. Mr. Chair, move to terminate. So anyway, maraming maraming salamat.

4579
03:46:49,070 --> 03:46:51,150
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: You're joined by very competent people.

4580
03:46:51,150 --> 03:46:53,150
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: [unclear] is here too.

4581
03:46:53,150 --> 03:46:55,150
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So maraming maraming salamat.

4582
03:46:55,150 --> 03:46:57,190
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

4583
03:46:57,190 --> 03:46:59,150
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Congressman Quimbo.

4584
03:46:59,150 --> 03:47:01,310
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, sir.

4585
03:47:01,310 --> 03:47:20,180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We now recognize Congressman Robert Nazal. So, if not around, we recognize

4586
03:47:20,180 --> 03:47:24,640
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Congresswoman Girlie Veloso.

4587
03:47:27,640 --> 03:47:35,860
Rep. Girlie E. Veloso: Maayong hapon sa atong tanan and to the DSWD family.

4588
03:47:35,860 --> 03:47:38,440

4647
03:52:53,010 --> 03:52:56,430
Rep. Roy M. Loyola: The responsibility of the DSWD is enormous.

4648

Rep. Roy M. Loyola: can make a difference in our communities.

4663
03:54:42,010 --> 03:54:48,610

4664
03:54:48,610 --> 03:54:52,130
Rep. Roy M. Loyola: vulnerable Filipino families.

4665
03:54:52,130 --> 03:55:01,010
Rep. Roy M. Loyola: I also wish to commend our dear Secretary Rex Gatchalian for his leadership of the department.

4666
03:55:01,010 --> 03:55:08,130
Rep. Roy M. Loyola: While the cabinet members of President Ferdinand Bombo Marcos, Jr. are performing their respective

4667
03:55:08,130 --> 03:55:17,010

03:55:48,370 --> 03:55:52,970
Rep. Roy M. Loyola: of DSWD personnel and social workers who bring

4674
03:55:52,970 --> 03:55:56,330

4675
03:55:56,330 --> 03:56:00,730

4676
03:56:00,730 --> 03:56:09,610

4679
03:56:25,210 --> 03:56:30,090
Rep. Roy M. Loyola: then we must provide the department with the necessary budget

4680
03:56:31,290 --> 03:56:38,810
Rep. Roy M. Loyola: for this reason i strongly support the proposed budget of the dswd and if funds

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: put on record the process flow that

4726
04:00:15,620 --> 04:00:16,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: goes through it.

4727
04:00:18,560 --> 04:00:20,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Initially, in the

4728
04:00:20,020 --> 04:00:21,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: administration of the past

4729
04:00:21,620 --> 04:00:23,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: CHED Commissioner

4730
04:00:23,760 --> 04:00:24,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or Chairman,

4731
04:00:25,620 --> 04:00:27,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: there were so many talks

4732
04:00:27,580 --> 04:00:29,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: about prioritization

4733
04:00:29,560 --> 04:00:31,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of 4Ps to include

4734
04:00:31,540 --> 04:00:33,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the solo parents na 4Ps.

4735
04:00:33,680 --> 04:00:35,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Unfortunately, hindi ko kami napaprioritize

4736
04:00:35,740 --> 04:00:37,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nun. In fact, in the last Congress,

4737
04:00:37,680 --> 04:00:39,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: multiple congressional hearings were done.

4738
04:00:39,860 --> 04:00:40,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: You know, Congressman Daza,

4739
04:00:41,460 --> 04:00:43,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Congressman Abalos, and we kept on

4740
04:00:43,600 --> 04:00:44,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: telling the CHED

4741
04:00:44,900 --> 04:00:47,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: form, then CHED

4742
04:00:47,660 --> 04:00:49,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Chairman, to please prioritize

4743
04:00:49,380 --> 04:00:51,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: not just the 4Ps, but the most

4744
04:00:51,540 --> 04:00:53,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: vulnerable 4Ps. Kasi, Mr. Chairman,

4745
04:00:54,160 --> 04:00:54,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: meron tayong

4746
04:00:54,920 --> 04:00:57,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sub-list sa loob ng 4Ps.

4747
04:00:57,920 --> 04:00:59,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: These are yung, ano yung tawag

4748
04:00:59,420 --> 04:01:00,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: doon yung may double vulnerabilities?

4749
04:01:01,100 --> 04:01:02,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung dating muna sa ESAP period.

4750
04:01:03,680 --> 04:01:05,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Anyways, Mr. Chairman,

4751
04:01:06,180 --> 04:01:07,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kumaga yung 4Ps,

4752
04:01:07,580 --> 04:01:09,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: vulnerable na sila, pero yung subset

4753
04:01:09,520 --> 04:01:11,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: niyan, yung mga mas vulnerable pa,

4754
04:01:11,580 --> 04:01:13,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung solo parents, indigenous

4755
04:01:13,520 --> 04:01:15,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: people, people with disability,

4756
04:01:16,920 --> 04:01:17,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung multiple

4757
04:01:17,380 --> 04:01:18,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: vulnerabilities. So,

4758
04:01:19,480 --> 04:01:21,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kinukulit namin sila dati, and hindi nila

4759
04:01:21,560 --> 04:01:23,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: napaprioritize. Now, what we

4760
04:01:23,620 --> 04:01:25,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: did with the new chairman, and you can

4761
04:01:25,540 --> 04:01:27,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: check with her, automatically

4762
04:01:27,600 --> 04:01:29,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we would transmit the list.

4763
04:01:29,480 --> 04:01:30,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kompleto po yun.

4764
04:01:31,220 --> 04:01:33,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Whether or not they're prioritized,

4765
04:01:33,680 --> 04:01:35,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yun ang... Hindi nyo na alam.

4766
04:01:35,600 --> 04:01:36,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi sa hindi nyo alam.

4767
04:01:36,820 --> 04:01:38,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: How do I put this nicely?

4768
04:01:39,060 --> 04:01:41,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi. So, yun.

4769
04:01:41,820 --> 04:01:43,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: In fact, numerous meetings

4770
04:01:43,800 --> 04:01:45,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we've done with CHED

4771
04:01:45,600 --> 04:01:47,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to tell them na dapat pinaprioritize

4772
04:01:47,580 --> 04:01:49,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to. But, we'd like to thank

4773
04:01:49,440 --> 04:01:51,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Congress with the new amendment on the TES

4774
04:01:51,680 --> 04:01:53,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that was just signed

4775
04:01:53,260 --> 04:01:55,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: recently, na talagang

4776
04:01:55,340 --> 04:01:57,340

4797

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: published. So, ang inalist

4879
04:05:25,620 --> 04:05:27,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na 30 billion, yan ho yung introduced

4880
04:05:27,660 --> 04:05:29,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: during your process of

4881
04:05:29,380 --> 04:05:31,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: amendments and the BARC.

4882
04:05:31,860 --> 04:05:32,400
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Okay.

4883
04:05:32,980 --> 04:05:37,090
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, hindi naman po ma-apektuhan yung

4884
04:05:37,090 --> 04:05:38,830
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: regular. Mr. Chairman,

4885
04:05:39,610 --> 04:05:41,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi ma-apektuhan this year

4886
04:05:41,270 --> 04:05:43,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi we're getting augmentation

4887
04:05:43,110 --> 04:05:45,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: already. Pero, if we can

4888
04:05:45,070 --> 04:05:46,890
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pull out the slide that we showed a while ago,

4889
04:05:47,490 --> 04:05:48,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pag hindi ma-restore yung

4890
04:05:48,930 --> 04:05:51,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: amount na yan, around 4 million

4891
04:05:51,010 --> 04:05:53,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: family individuals will be

4892
04:05:53,070 --> 04:05:54,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: displaced. That's why we have

4893
04:05:54,990 --> 04:05:57,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: been pleading with Congress and later

4894
04:05:57,030 --> 04:05:58,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: on in the Senate na sana ma-restore

4895
04:05:58,790 --> 04:06:00,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or else we'll be turning away 4 million

4896
04:06:00,790 --> 04:06:03,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: individuals in dire need of social welfare.

4897
04:06:03,630 --> 04:06:04,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, I urge

4898
04:06:04,430 --> 04:06:06,990
Rep. Roberto Nazal: our colleagues in Congress na dapat

4899
04:06:06,990 --> 04:06:08,170
Rep. Roberto Nazal: po i-restore po yan.

4900
04:06:08,690 --> 04:06:09,790
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Hindi po dapat galawin.

4901
04:06:10,330 --> 04:06:11,350
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Sana ibalik ko.

4902
04:06:12,230 --> 04:06:16,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, my next question,

4903
04:06:16,360 --> 04:06:18,740
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair, Mr.

4904
04:06:18,840 --> 04:06:23,400
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Secretary, may we also

4905
04:06:23,400 --> 04:06:25,080
Rep. Roberto Nazal: ask about the implementation of the

4906
04:06:25,080 --> 04:06:26,840
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act?

4907
04:06:27,600 --> 04:06:28,960
Rep. Roberto Nazal: What is the status of

4908
04:06:28,960 --> 04:06:31,220
Rep. Roberto Nazal: compliance of our LGUs nationwide?

4909
04:06:32,360 --> 04:06:32,920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Ilan po ang

4910
04:06:32,920 --> 04:06:35,300
Rep. Roberto Nazal: nag-implement na nung

4911
04:06:35,300 --> 04:06:37,340
Rep. Roberto Nazal: batas and how many are not yet

4912
04:06:37,340 --> 04:06:39,420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: compliant? Kasi po

4913
04:06:39,420 --> 04:06:41,400
Rep. Roberto Nazal: kayo po ang lead agency pagdating sa

4914
04:06:41,440 --> 04:06:43,580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: pag-implement nung Solo Parents

4915
04:06:43,580 --> 04:06:44,200
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Welfare Act?

4916
04:06:44,560 --> 04:06:46,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, of a total of

4917
04:06:46,580 --> 04:06:49,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 1,658 LGUs, only

4918
04:06:49,380 --> 04:06:51,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 478 are

4919
04:06:51,440 --> 04:06:53,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: implementing the various subsidies

4920
04:06:53,140 --> 04:06:55,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: prescribed by law. Now, when we

4921
04:06:55,420 --> 04:06:57,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ask and follow up with the LGUs,

4922
04:06:57,780 --> 04:06:59,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang laging nasasabi is fund

4923
04:06:59,260 --> 04:07:01,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: availability. Wala ho silang pondo

4924
04:07:01,380 --> 04:07:03,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and these are normally small LGUs.

4925
04:07:04,680 --> 04:07:05,860
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Is there

4926
04:07:05,860 --> 04:07:07,420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: no way of finding out whether

4927
04:07:07,420 --> 04:07:08,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: this is really

4928
04:07:08,500 --> 04:07:10,420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: accurate?

4929
04:07:11,440 --> 04:07:13,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Paano po muna natin sila matutulungan

4930
04:07:13,500 --> 04:07:15,120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: para ma-implement yung batas?

4931
04:07:16,080 --> 04:07:17,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, every time

4932
04:07:17,660 --> 04:07:19,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we speak with the

4933
04:07:19,040 --> 04:07:21,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: focal individuals

4934
04:07:21,000 --> 04:07:23,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: normally the CSWDO,

4935
04:07:24,060 --> 04:07:25,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang sagot nila lagi sa amin is

4936
04:07:25,520 --> 04:07:27,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lack of funds. At tulad na

4937
04:07:27,480 --> 04:07:29,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nabanggit ko, karamihan sa mga nagko-comply

4938
04:07:29,840 --> 04:07:31,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: are the bigger LGUs, the bigger

4939
04:07:31,500 --> 04:07:33,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: cities or the bigger provinces.

4940
04:07:34,000 --> 04:07:35,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang mga hindi nagko-comply yung maliliit

4941
04:07:35,420 --> 04:07:36,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: talaga nating mga LGU dahil

4942
04:07:36,980 --> 04:07:39,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I'd like to think hindi naman dahil ayaw nila

4943
04:07:39,440 --> 04:07:41,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ba talagang kulang lang sa pondo?

4944
04:07:41,440 --> 04:07:43,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And pag tinanong namin sila ano ang

4945
04:07:43,400 --> 04:07:45,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: maitutulong, syempre ang hingin nila pabalik

4946
04:07:45,320 --> 04:07:47,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is subsidy from the national government.

4947
04:07:48,160 --> 04:07:49,600
Rep. Roberto Nazal: How about on the ID?

4948
04:07:50,420 --> 04:07:50,980
Rep. Roberto Nazal: On the

4949
04:07:50,980 --> 04:07:53,680
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Unified Solo Parent ID? Any updates po?

4950
04:07:53,860 --> 04:07:54,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman,

4951
04:07:54,960 --> 04:07:57,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that is something that we're still working on

4952
04:07:57,620 --> 04:07:59,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: unbeatedly because tulad na na sinabi namin

4953
04:07:59,620 --> 04:08:01,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: naka-ankla ho kasi yan doon sa implementation

4954
04:08:01,640 --> 04:08:03,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: naman ng Unified PWD ID

4955
04:08:03,320 --> 04:08:05,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: which served as its test case.

4956
04:08:05,900 --> 04:08:07,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meron ho kaming database. We normally

4957
04:08:07,520 --> 04:08:09,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: update the database that we collate from the

4958
04:08:09,520 --> 04:08:11,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: LGUs. Pero as mentioned,

4959
04:08:11,440 --> 04:08:13,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a while ago, we have

4960
04:08:13,660 --> 04:08:15,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yet to fully roll this out because

4961
04:08:15,360 --> 04:08:17,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the implementing, the

4962
04:08:17,440 --> 04:08:19,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: PIDAUs are the ones issuing the

4963
04:08:19,560 --> 04:08:21,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: solo parent IDs.

4964
04:08:22,420 --> 04:08:23,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sorry, the PIDAUs

4965
04:08:23,560 --> 04:08:25,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for the people with disability and then the

4966
04:08:25,300 --> 04:08:27,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: respective CSWDs for their solo IDs.

4967
04:08:28,100 --> 04:08:29,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But there is a, as mentioned in a

4968
04:08:29,580 --> 04:08:31,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: couple of meetings with the good congressman,

4969
04:08:31,400 --> 04:08:33,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: talagang ang direction without violating

4970
04:08:33,440 --> 04:08:35,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the laws kasi meron ho talagang

4971
04:08:35,060 --> 04:08:37,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: implementing agency that social welfare is

4972
04:08:37,460 --> 04:08:39,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: devolved. We're trying to find that

4973
04:08:39,320 --> 04:08:41,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: agreement na kami ang mag-issue

4974
04:08:41,320 --> 04:08:43,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng Unified ID without violating

4975
04:08:43,340 --> 04:08:45,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: any provisions stipulated

4976
04:08:45,340 --> 04:08:47,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in the devolution of social

4977
04:08:47,340 --> 04:08:47,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: welfare.

4978
04:08:49,200 --> 04:08:50,680
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Because, syempre ho,

4979
04:08:51,140 --> 04:08:53,280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: napag-usapan naman natin, naiintindihan

4980
04:08:53,280 --> 04:08:55,280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: nyo naman po na a Unified

4981
04:08:55,280 --> 04:08:57,240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: ID is actually best for the

4982
04:08:57,240 --> 04:08:59,160
Rep. Roberto Nazal: solo parents given this case.

4983
04:08:59,680 --> 04:09:01,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kasi, for example, yung

4984
04:09:01,500 --> 04:09:05,120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: if we have a unified system,

4985
04:09:05,740 --> 04:09:07,360
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yung benefits including the test,

4986
04:09:07,480 --> 04:09:09,080
Rep. Roberto Nazal: mas madali hong magkaroon ng validation.

4987
04:09:10,080 --> 04:09:10,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Hindi po ba?

4988
04:09:11,320 --> 04:09:13,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We agree, Mr. Chairman, kami

4989
04:09:13,820 --> 04:09:15,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: naniniwala ho kami sa panukala na yon.

4990
04:09:16,500 --> 04:09:18,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sinisigurado lang ho namin na hindi

4991
04:09:18,000 --> 04:09:20,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: counterintuitive yung ginagawa namin

4992
04:09:20,100 --> 04:09:22,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi, syempre, we will

4993
04:09:22,420 --> 04:09:24,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: encounter yung mga komento na

4994
04:09:24,240 --> 04:09:26,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pabaliktad yung ginagawa namin

4995
04:09:26,400 --> 04:09:28,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: from devolution to

4996
04:09:28,020 --> 04:09:30,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pabalik to national government. So, we're

4997
04:09:30,120 --> 04:09:31,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: very careful kasi may mga prescription

4998
04:09:31,920 --> 04:09:34,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: like sino ang signatory

4999
04:09:34,080 --> 04:09:36,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng ID. Those

5000
04:09:36,180 --> 04:09:37,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: things matter kasi the issuing body

5001
04:09:37,940 --> 04:09:40,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: matters. But, we totally agree, Mr.

5002
04:09:40,160 --> 04:09:40,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Chairman.

5003
04:09:41,320 --> 04:09:43,640
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary, ano po

5004
04:09:43,640 --> 04:09:45,920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: ang naiisip natin with regards

5005
04:09:45,920 --> 04:09:47,960
Rep. Roberto Nazal: to the solo parents? Dun po sa

5006
04:09:47,960 --> 04:09:49,960
Rep. Roberto Nazal: pag-implement ng batas?

5007
04:09:50,480 --> 04:09:51,380
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Is there any

5008
04:09:51,380 --> 04:09:54,100
Rep. Roberto Nazal: meron po ba tayo naiisip

5009
04:09:54,100 --> 04:09:56,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: na solusyon kung paano

5010
04:09:56,040 --> 04:09:57,460
Rep. Roberto Nazal: natin matutulungan yung mga

5011
04:09:57,460 --> 04:09:59,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: LGUs na hindi po nagkukumplay?

5012
04:10:01,100 --> 04:10:02,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's a functionality

5013
04:10:02,160 --> 04:10:04,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: again, Mr. Chairman, of how much money

5014
04:10:04,060 --> 04:10:05,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the national government can spare for this

5015
04:10:05,980 --> 04:10:06,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: endeavor.

5016
04:10:08,300 --> 04:10:10,180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Have we thought of any proposal?

5017
04:10:10,360 --> 04:10:10,700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Do we have any

5018
04:10:11,320 --> 04:10:14,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: anything in mind

5019
04:10:14,040 --> 04:10:16,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to be able to implement.

5020
04:10:16,100 --> 04:10:17,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang lagi ko sinasabi, ang pattern

5021
04:10:17,920 --> 04:10:19,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi niyan, yung people with disability, sorry,

5022
04:10:20,060 --> 04:10:20,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung senior citizen.

5023
04:10:22,040 --> 04:10:23,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's a mandate na prescribed

5024
04:10:23,920 --> 04:10:25,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: by law, not based on fund availability.

5025
04:10:26,040 --> 04:10:27,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nga, dapat eh. But even that,

5026
04:10:28,140 --> 04:10:29,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as mentioned a while ago, talagang kalahati

5027
04:10:29,940 --> 04:10:31,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lang na napopondohan ng pamalang nasyonal.

5028
04:10:32,580 --> 04:10:34,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we still get, as we discussed

5029
04:10:34,200 --> 04:10:35,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kanyang, we get all these issues na

5030
04:10:35,820 --> 04:10:38,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: feeling talaga nila, pinipili sila.

5031
04:10:38,040 --> 04:10:42,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The only solution

5032
04:10:42,140 --> 04:10:44,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that we can think of to equalize

5033
04:10:44,200 --> 04:10:46,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the treatment of our solo parents is to

5034
04:10:46,140 --> 04:10:48,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: really, for national government to step in.

5035
04:10:48,640 --> 04:10:49,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But whether or not we have the fiscal

5036
04:10:49,960 --> 04:10:52,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: capacity to do that is what is scarier.

5037
04:10:53,080 --> 04:10:54,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meron ho tayong batas,

5038
04:10:54,580 --> 04:10:56,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nandiyan na yung batas, even on identifying

5039
04:10:56,220 --> 04:10:58,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the categories and when they exit

5040
04:10:58,160 --> 04:11:00,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: out of the category, malino naman ho yung batas eh.

5041
04:11:00,900 --> 04:11:02,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero ang next na tanong lang is

5042
04:11:02,160 --> 04:11:03,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the funding mechanism for it.

5043
04:11:04,480 --> 04:11:06,200
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Baka lang ho we can come up with a plan

5044
04:11:06,200 --> 04:11:07,980
Rep. Roberto Nazal: or a proposal. Just

5045
04:11:07,980 --> 04:11:10,120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: to be able to implement

5046
04:11:10,120 --> 04:11:12,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the program. And gladly, Mr. Chairman,

5047
04:11:12,420 --> 04:11:14,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we will submit to the committee and the good

5048
04:11:14,200 --> 04:11:16,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: congressman a proposed idea or

5049
04:11:16,200 --> 04:11:18,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a concept paper for the full implementation

5050
04:11:18,460 --> 04:11:19,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of the solo parent law.

5051
04:11:19,980 --> 04:11:21,160
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you for that, Mr. Chair.

5052
04:11:21,700 --> 04:11:24,000
Rep. Roberto Nazal: My next question is on the SLP.

5053
04:11:24,520 --> 04:11:26,060
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary,

5054
04:11:26,660 --> 04:11:28,260
Rep. Roberto Nazal: we continue to receive complaints

5055
04:11:28,260 --> 04:11:30,080
Rep. Roberto Nazal: that processing

5056
04:11:30,080 --> 04:11:31,400
Rep. Roberto Nazal: takes a very long time.

5057
04:11:32,060 --> 04:11:34,420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: For someone who needs a livelihood,

5058
04:11:34,660 --> 04:11:36,080
Rep. Roberto Nazal: waiting months defeats the purpose

5059
04:11:36,080 --> 04:11:37,780
Rep. Roberto Nazal: of the assistance.

5060
04:11:37,980 --> 04:11:39,980
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, my question is,

5061
04:11:40,080 --> 04:11:42,200
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair, from complete application

5062
04:11:42,200 --> 04:11:43,640
Rep. Roberto Nazal: to actual assistance,

5063
04:11:44,100 --> 04:11:46,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: what is your present average

5064
04:11:46,040 --> 04:11:47,100
Rep. Roberto Nazal: processing time?

5065
04:11:48,100 --> 04:11:50,060
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And can DSWD establish

5066
04:11:50,060 --> 04:11:51,560
Rep. Roberto Nazal: a definite turnaround time?

5067
04:11:51,860 --> 04:11:53,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, it's only 22 days and we will

5068
04:11:53,920 --> 04:11:56,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: gladly submit to you case studies of the

5069
04:11:56,060 --> 04:11:57,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: cases that we've done 22 days.

5070
04:11:58,340 --> 04:12:00,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Anam nyo, Mr. Chairman, and I'd like to

5071
04:12:00,040 --> 04:12:01,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: put this on record. Minsan ho kasi

5072
04:12:01,480 --> 04:12:04,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pinipilit ng ibang group na qualified

5073
04:12:04,100 --> 04:12:06,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sila pero hindi naman ho sila nag-qualify.

5074
04:12:06,480 --> 04:12:07,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's where the miscommunication,

5075
04:12:07,980 --> 04:12:09,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: communications takes place.

5076
04:12:10,300 --> 04:12:11,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: A while ago, nabanggit ho namin na

5077
04:12:11,760 --> 04:12:14,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the most successful groups are those that really

5078
04:12:14,000 --> 04:12:16,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: comply with the requirements. In fact, we've

5079
04:12:16,000 --> 04:12:18,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: streamlined this from a long

5080
04:12:18,260 --> 04:12:20,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: six-month period. Now, it's down

5081
04:12:20,060 --> 04:12:21,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to 22 days. As long

5082
04:12:21,740 --> 04:12:23,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as, one, you qualify

5083
04:12:23,880 --> 04:12:25,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and number two,

5084
04:12:25,840 --> 04:12:27,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kompleto yung mga requirements na sinasubmit

5085
04:12:27,940 --> 04:12:29,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as in most of our programs.

5086
04:12:30,960 --> 04:12:31,840
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you for that,

5087
04:12:32,060 --> 04:12:34,080
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair. We'll also submit

5088
04:12:34,080 --> 04:12:35,220
Rep. Roberto Nazal: a list of complaints to you.

5089
04:12:35,600 --> 04:12:37,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yes, if you can give it to us so that we can

5090
04:12:37,740 --> 04:12:39,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: research it one by one and we can get back

5091
04:12:39,800 --> 04:12:41,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to you on the sources why tumagal

5092
04:12:41,740 --> 04:12:43,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sila. If you can hand it,

5093
04:12:43,880 --> 04:12:46,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the Undersecretary for Legislative

5094
04:12:46,180 --> 04:12:47,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Affairs is here. She will personally

5095
04:12:47,680 --> 04:12:49,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hand it to me for us to look into it.

5096
04:12:50,820 --> 04:12:51,740
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And, Mr.

5097
04:12:52,700 --> 04:12:53,700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Secretary, Mr. Chair,

5098
04:12:54,200 --> 04:12:55,920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: can we also explore a different

5099
04:12:55,920 --> 04:12:57,920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: model? Instead of giving

5100
04:12:57,920 --> 04:12:59,200
Rep. Roberto Nazal: beneficiaries cash,

5101
04:12:59,800 --> 04:13:01,700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: sa SLP po ito, and asking

5102
04:13:01,700 --> 04:13:03,700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: them to start a business from scratch,

5103
04:13:04,380 --> 04:13:05,900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Can DSWD, would it

5104
04:13:05,900 --> 04:13:07,100
Rep. Roberto Nazal: be possible for DSWD

5105
04:13:07,300 --> 04:13:08,440
Rep. Roberto Nazal: to partner

5106
04:13:08,440 --> 04:13:10,200
Rep. Roberto Nazal: with legitimate franchise or

5107
04:13:10,200 --> 04:13:11,880
Rep. Roberto Nazal: established business operators?

5108
04:13:12,840 --> 04:13:14,380
Rep. Roberto Nazal: For qualified beneficiaries

5109
04:13:14,380 --> 04:13:15,760
Rep. Roberto Nazal: who choose that option,

5110
04:13:16,420 --> 04:13:18,400
Rep. Roberto Nazal: could DSWD issue a guarantee

5111
04:13:18,400 --> 04:13:20,340
Rep. Roberto Nazal: letter or similar direct payment

5112
04:13:20,340 --> 04:13:22,720
Rep. Roberto Nazal: arrangement to the

5113
04:13:22,720 --> 04:13:24,520
Rep. Roberto Nazal: accredited business so that

5114
04:13:24,520 --> 04:13:26,280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: the beneficiary receives an actual

5115
04:13:26,280 --> 04:13:28,400
Rep. Roberto Nazal: livelihood package or operating

5116
04:13:28,400 --> 04:13:29,660
Rep. Roberto Nazal: business rather than cash?

5117
04:13:30,440 --> 04:13:32,020
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Parang pag nag-job fair po tayo,

5118
04:13:32,380 --> 04:13:34,980
Rep. Roberto Nazal: may mga, or SLP

5119
04:13:34,980 --> 04:13:36,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: fair, mayroon na pong

5120
04:13:36,820 --> 04:13:38,800
Rep. Roberto Nazal: mga franchise doon, tapos pwede po

5121
04:13:38,800 --> 04:13:39,480
Rep. Roberto Nazal: silang pumili.

5122
04:13:40,500 --> 04:13:41,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, it's a good idea.

5123
04:13:43,340 --> 04:13:45,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nung pumasok ko sa departamento,

5124
04:13:45,080 --> 04:13:46,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I had the same notion with all our programs.

5125
04:13:47,200 --> 04:13:48,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But after four and a half years

5126
04:13:48,760 --> 04:13:49,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in the department, I've

5127
04:13:49,840 --> 04:13:52,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: realized that the

5128
04:13:52,520 --> 04:13:54,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: core competency ng DSWD,

5129
04:13:55,240 --> 04:13:57,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to be honest, is not the cash we give out.

5130
04:13:57,680 --> 04:13:58,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's the dignity and

5131
04:13:58,720 --> 04:14:00,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: empowerment that we teach our people.

5132
04:14:02,800 --> 04:14:04,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Priceless, ako, I've been going around talking

5133
04:14:04,700 --> 04:14:06,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to SLP groups, priceless yung

5134
04:14:06,820 --> 04:14:08,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pagbigihin nila. Natutunan namin

5135
04:14:08,960 --> 04:14:10,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: magnegosyo at sinunod nyo yung gusto

5136
04:14:10,940 --> 04:14:12,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: namin rather than sinubu nyo sa amin.

5137
04:14:13,880 --> 04:14:15,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: In most of our programs,

5138
04:14:15,140 --> 04:14:16,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: from the Kalahi Seeds,

5139
04:14:16,720 --> 04:14:18,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the Community Driven Development,

5140
04:14:18,680 --> 04:14:20,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Lawat Binhi, the

5141
04:14:20,440 --> 04:14:22,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: social preparation na

5142
04:14:22,780 --> 04:14:25,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: binibigay namin actually empowers

5143
04:14:25,040 --> 04:14:26,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: them to decide their own fate.

5144
04:14:28,160 --> 04:14:29,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I'm afraid

5145
04:14:29,120 --> 04:14:31,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: baka doon ho natin makalaban

5146
04:14:31,080 --> 04:14:32,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung notion of empowering

5147
04:14:32,680 --> 04:14:34,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a community if we limit their

5148
04:14:34,340 --> 04:14:36,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ability to choose for their

5149
04:14:36,820 --> 04:14:38,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: own. What we can do though

5150
04:14:38,760 --> 04:14:40,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is always to partner up with

5151
04:14:40,380 --> 04:14:42,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: legitimate, sorry, with national government

5152
04:14:42,400 --> 04:14:44,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: agencies like DTI, Department of

5153
04:14:44,460 --> 04:14:46,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tourism, and for them to help us

5154
04:14:46,460 --> 04:14:48,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in the capacity building. Ang

5155
04:14:48,460 --> 04:14:50,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: minakamalaking role namin, and kanina

5156
04:14:50,420 --> 04:14:52,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na-discussed to is, for us to strengthen

5157
04:14:52,680 --> 04:14:54,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as a room for improvement, the monitoring.

5158
04:14:55,380 --> 04:14:56,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Masigurado namin na yung

5159
04:14:56,440 --> 04:14:58,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pera napunta sa tama at naging matagumpay

5160
04:14:58,680 --> 04:14:59,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung negosyo.

5161
04:15:00,000 --> 04:15:01,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is where we should be gauged on

5162
04:15:01,620 --> 04:15:03,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and that is an area of improvement

5163
04:15:03,760 --> 04:15:05,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that we should be working on.

5164
04:15:06,280 --> 04:15:07,600
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Ayun lang naman din po ang

5165
04:15:07,600 --> 04:15:09,860
Rep. Roberto Nazal: nais namin mangyari. Kasi

5166
04:15:09,860 --> 04:15:12,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: siyempre what we would like to avoid

5167
04:15:12,040 --> 04:15:14,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: is that we're just giving out, as you

5168
04:15:14,040 --> 04:15:16,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: said, dole-outs. And

5169
04:15:16,040 --> 04:15:17,840
Rep. Roberto Nazal: rather, instead of, you know,

5170
04:15:18,540 --> 04:15:19,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yung sinasabi nga nila na

5171
04:15:19,820 --> 04:15:21,960
Rep. Roberto Nazal: teaching them to fish

5172
04:15:21,960 --> 04:15:23,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: instead of just

5173
04:15:23,500 --> 04:15:25,780
Rep. Roberto Nazal: feeding them for a day.

5174
04:15:26,660 --> 04:15:27,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, maybe as

5175
04:15:27,980 --> 04:15:29,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a solution,

5176
04:15:30,000 --> 04:15:32,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi yung SLP, like most of

5177
04:15:32,060 --> 04:15:33,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: our programs, were based on

5178
04:15:33,840 --> 04:15:35,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: obligation disbursement and

5179
04:15:35,940 --> 04:15:37,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: meeting the physical targets.

5180
04:15:38,020 --> 04:15:39,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Baka we now have to propose to the

5181
04:15:39,960 --> 04:15:42,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: DBM the success rate. Yes.

5182
04:15:42,020 --> 04:15:43,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Or the longevity of businesses.

5183
04:15:43,760 --> 04:15:45,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So like a new

5184
04:15:45,080 --> 04:15:47,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: KRA for us.

5185
04:15:48,460 --> 04:15:49,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Gano karami sa kanila

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: in helping the poor

5255
04:18:05,460 --> 04:18:06,840

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: St. John Paul II

5257
04:18:09,080 --> 04:18:11,120

04:18:11,580 --> 04:18:13,080
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: that the main mission of the Church

04:18:13,080 --> 04:18:15,480
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: is to heed the call of the

04:18:15,480 --> 04:18:16,460
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: poor and marginalized.

5261
04:18:17,300 --> 04:18:19,140

04:18:19,140 --> 04:18:21,740
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: as long as we give a level playing field.

5263
04:18:21,960 --> 04:18:23,320

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: is the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

5268
04:18:31,580 --> 04:18:33,200
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And we remember, Mr.

5269
04:18:33,500 --> 04:18:36,080

5270

04:18:47,280 --> 04:18:49,860
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: the Social Welfare Administration.

5277
04:18:50,640 --> 04:18:51,720
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: That is the history

5278
04:18:51,720 --> 04:18:52,900
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: of DSWD.

5279
04:18:53,460 --> 04:18:55,700
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So now it's radical DSWD.

5280
04:18:56,220 --> 04:18:56,940
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And of course,

5281

5340
04:20:54,320 --> 04:20:56,520

5383
04:22:19,480 --> 04:22:21,960

04:22:21,960 --> 04:22:23,960

5391
04:22:35,440 --> 04:22:37,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: current amount na 30 billion, then that

5392
04:22:37,480 --> 04:22:39,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: should be suffice for the department to operate

5393
04:22:39,580 --> 04:22:41,660
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: comfortably. Okay, the first one is

5394

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We lost 30 billion.

5396
04:22:45,440 --> 04:22:46,320

04:22:46,760 --> 04:22:51,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're asking for 43, pero sumuntok lang ho kami sa buwan.

5408
04:23:10,500 --> 04:23:11,940

5409

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 6.8 billion.

5410
04:23:16,140 --> 04:23:17,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then, the programs

5411
04:23:17,600 --> 04:23:19,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: under USEC Punay, these are the

5412
04:23:19,440 --> 04:23:21,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: smaller programs that are very promising.

5413
04:23:22,540 --> 04:23:23,640

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: million.

5420
04:23:33,500 --> 04:23:35,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then, the social technology

5421
04:23:35,360 --> 04:23:37,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: bureau that has the

5422
04:23:37,200 --> 04:23:39,540

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For the social technology bureau.

5430
04:23:55,520 --> 04:23:57,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then, Mr. Chairman, the social...

5431
04:23:58,160 --> 04:23:59,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the SLP,

5432
04:23:59,160 --> 04:24:01,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the sustainable livelihood program that has

5433
04:24:01,080 --> 04:24:03,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: taken center stage in today's discussion.

04:24:08,960 --> 04:24:09,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair,

5437
04:24:09,680 --> 04:24:11,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: meron pa ko kasing iba dito, and I don't

5438
04:24:11,460 --> 04:24:13,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: want to behove the writing, the

5439
04:24:13,280 --> 04:24:15,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: taking down of the notes, but we will gladly

5440
04:24:15,340 --> 04:24:17,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: submit. Ang total po nito...

5441
04:24:19,400 --> 04:24:21,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We still have a total,

5442
04:24:21,440 --> 04:24:23,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but we will furnish you, Mr. Chairman, this copy of

5443
04:24:23,440 --> 04:24:24,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the letter that we already wrote you.

5444
04:24:25,080 --> 04:24:27,360
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So, it is in the priority,

5445
04:24:27,560 --> 04:24:28,960
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: but there is a prioritization.

5446
04:24:29,280 --> 04:24:30,060
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Yes, Mr. Chairman.

5447
04:24:30,060 --> 04:24:31,380
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: It's all we can have ordered.

5448
04:24:31,620 --> 04:24:33,460
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Because of fiscal space, we're not able

5449
04:24:33,500 --> 04:24:34,560
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: to give everything, but

5450
04:24:34,560 --> 04:24:37,200
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: I am sure that because

5451
04:24:37,200 --> 04:24:38,620
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: you are the primary agency

5452
04:24:38,620 --> 04:24:41,040
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: taking care of

5453
04:24:41,040 --> 04:24:43,600
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: the poor and marginalized,

5454
04:24:43,900 --> 04:24:45,180
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: as John Paul II said,

5455
04:24:45,520 --> 04:24:47,120
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: the main mission of the church, as

5456
04:24:47,120 --> 04:24:49,340
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: John Paul II said, the main

5457
04:24:49,340 --> 04:24:50,920
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: mission of the church is to

5458
04:24:50,920 --> 04:24:53,480
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: heed the call of the poor and the marginalized.

5459
04:24:53,960 --> 04:24:55,360
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So, we should be able to,

5460
04:24:55,360 --> 04:24:57,020
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: with our chairperson,

5461
04:24:57,540 --> 04:24:59,260
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: be able to propose this in our

5462
04:24:59,260 --> 04:25:00,640
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: meeting of the vice chair,

5463
04:25:01,260 --> 04:25:03,360
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: and be able, probably not everything that's

5464
04:25:03,500 --> 04:25:05,360
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: there, but there should be some

5465
04:25:05,360 --> 04:25:06,240
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: restoration.

5466
04:25:06,920 --> 04:25:09,240
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: To be able to make sure that you

5467
04:25:09,240 --> 04:25:11,360
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: continue with that, Mr. Chairman.

5468
04:25:11,720 --> 04:25:13,320
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So, I'd like to ask Gabby here,

5469
04:25:13,380 --> 04:25:14,100
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: what does she need?

5470
04:25:16,260 --> 04:25:18,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Maybe, excuse me quickly, while Gabby Concepcion,

5471
04:25:18,820 --> 04:25:20,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the actor, narrates her list.

5472
04:25:21,220 --> 04:25:22,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Just to go to the comfort room.

5473
04:25:25,170 --> 04:25:26,150
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Mr. Chair, can you approve

5474
04:25:26,150 --> 04:25:27,130

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Yes, certainly.

5476
04:25:28,350 --> 04:25:28,490
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Certainly.

5477
04:25:30,010 --> 04:25:31,570
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: May we recognize

5478
04:25:31,570 --> 04:25:35,610
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Ma'am Gab Concepcion?

5479
04:25:36,350 --> 04:25:38,090

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: and offices in the regional offices.

5486
04:25:52,170 --> 04:25:53,550
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: Pero yung primary concern po

5487
04:25:53,550 --> 04:25:55,310
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: namin, maliit lang naman po

5488

04:26:10,170 --> 04:26:12,230
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: for these 42 social workers

5497

04:51:38,090 --> 04:51:39,590
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: if we could put up

04:51:39,590 --> 04:51:41,550

04:51:51,350 --> 04:51:53,710

6160
04:51:53,710 --> 04:51:55,170

6161
04:51:55,290 --> 04:51:57,730

6162
04:51:57,730 --> 04:51:59,850

6163
04:51:59,850 --> 04:52:00,850
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: would like,

6164
04:52:01,850 --> 04:52:04,770
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: na mag-invest yung government

6165
04:52:04,770 --> 04:52:06,570
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: into a multi-purpose

6166
04:52:06,570 --> 04:52:08,290
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: building through our BIPs,

6167
04:52:08,470 --> 04:52:10,570
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: na matayuan ng sariling satellite office

6168
04:52:10,570 --> 04:52:12,430

6170
04:52:14,450 --> 04:52:15,850
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: tulong. And

6171
04:52:15,850 --> 04:52:18,090
Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap: mas maraming matutulungan pa.

6172
04:52:18,590 --> 04:52:19,750

04:53:49,820 --> 04:53:52,100
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: wish to ask, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair,

6214
04:53:53,280 --> 04:53:53,960

04:53:56,340 --> 04:53:58,080
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Medyo nabawasan yata tayo,

6217
04:53:58,160 --> 04:53:59,900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Mr. Secretary, dito sa

6218
04:53:59,900 --> 04:54:01,060

6219
04:54:01,820 --> 04:54:03,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, actually,

6220
04:54:03,060 --> 04:54:03,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: actually,

6221
04:54:03,360 --> 04:54:07,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it's in the

6222
04:54:07,710 --> 04:54:09,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: stagnant naman ho siya,

6223
04:54:09,590 --> 04:54:10,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: status quo, Mr. Chair.

6224
04:54:11,270 --> 04:54:12,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi siya nabawasan,

6225
04:54:12,990 --> 04:54:15,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero humihiling ho kami nadagdagan.

6226
04:54:15,470 --> 04:54:17,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero hindi siya nabawasan. It's in the

6227
04:54:17,250 --> 04:54:19,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: DRRP line item.

6228
04:54:19,770 --> 04:54:21,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, magkamukha lang ho siya.

6229
04:54:21,770 --> 04:54:23,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero ang nabawasan ng ho in implementation

6230
04:54:23,630 --> 04:54:25,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because of the wage increase.

6231
04:54:25,710 --> 04:54:27,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, the amount, the global amount is

6232
04:54:27,570 --> 04:54:29,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the same, pero the implementation, siyempre,

6233
04:54:29,590 --> 04:54:31,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lumiit yung catchment dahil tumaas yung wage

6234
04:54:31,570 --> 04:54:33,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hike, yung wage rates.

6235
04:54:33,850 --> 04:54:35,430
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, that's correct. Tama,

6236
04:54:35,430 --> 04:54:37,530
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Mr. Secretary, but I think

6237
04:54:37,530 --> 04:54:39,130
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: mahalaga kasi na mataasan to.

6238
04:54:39,590 --> 04:54:41,590
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: What's the premise? I'm just curious

6239
04:54:41,590 --> 04:54:43,590
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: what would be the premise of

6240
04:54:43,590 --> 04:54:44,150
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: DBM?

6241
04:54:45,250 --> 04:54:46,910
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Did you ask for an increase

6242
04:54:46,910 --> 04:54:48,630
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: during the budget call?

6243
04:54:56,550 --> 04:54:57,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We did, Mr. Chair.

6244
04:54:58,370 --> 04:54:59,190
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Magkano hiningin natin?

6245
04:54:59,710 --> 04:55:02,550
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're checking how much ang hiningin namin sa tier 2.

6246
04:55:03,070 --> 04:55:04,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi nga, we were taking into account

6247
04:55:04,450 --> 04:55:06,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: naliliit yung catchment dahil tumaas yung

6248
04:55:06,510 --> 04:55:08,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: wages. But unfortunately, hindi kami

6249
04:55:08,610 --> 04:55:10,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: napagbigyan because nga of the tight

6250
04:55:10,370 --> 04:55:11,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: fiscal space.

6251
04:55:11,670 --> 04:55:14,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We asked for the total amount

6252
04:55:14,270 --> 04:55:16,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is 3.3 billion compared to the

6253
04:55:16,790 --> 04:55:18,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 2.8, sorry, 1.8

6254
04:55:18,710 --> 04:55:20,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that's in the books right now.

6255
04:55:20,830 --> 04:55:22,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, 1.1 billion.

6256
04:55:22,770 --> 04:55:23,470
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Okay. So,

6257
04:55:23,870 --> 04:55:26,530
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: would there be an explanation from DBM

6258
04:55:26,530 --> 04:55:28,350
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: ba't hindi kayo pinagbigyan, Mr. Chair?

6259
04:55:28,370 --> 04:55:29,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tight fiscal space, Mr. Chair.

6260
04:55:30,150 --> 04:55:32,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: All the cuts na hindi kami napagbigyan,

6261
04:55:33,210 --> 04:55:34,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: all the departments were, and I do

6262
04:55:34,790 --> 04:55:36,550
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: understand, clamoring for more, and

6263
04:55:36,550 --> 04:55:38,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: isa to doon sa mahiningin namin na hindi napagbigyan.

6264
04:55:38,990 --> 04:55:40,510
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, thank you. I raise this point, Mr.

6265
04:55:40,510 --> 04:55:42,150
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Chair, Mr. Secretary, kasi

6266
04:55:42,150 --> 04:55:44,690
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I think this is a brainchild

6267
04:55:44,690 --> 04:55:46,210
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: of yours, diba, this program.

6268
04:55:46,790 --> 04:55:48,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Actually, Mr. Chair, it's a brainchild

6269
04:55:48,570 --> 04:55:50,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of the team, na hindi lang naman ako.

6270
04:55:50,650 --> 04:55:52,490
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, so I wish to

6271
04:55:52,490 --> 04:55:54,550
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: once again commend DSWD and the

6272
04:55:54,550 --> 04:55:55,050
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Secretary.

6273
04:55:56,470 --> 04:55:58,550
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Siyempre kasi nanggaling to sa, dahil

6274
04:55:58,550 --> 04:56:00,750
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: sa El Nino yata, yung issue natin

6275
04:56:00,750 --> 04:56:02,080
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: noon. And I think,

6276
04:56:02,080 --> 04:56:04,610
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: as PAGASA predicted, this is the worst.

6277
04:56:05,630 --> 04:56:06,630
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: El Nino, we will be

6278
04:56:06,630 --> 04:56:08,330
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: facing next year.

6279
04:56:08,630 --> 04:56:10,630
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, I don't understand

6280
04:56:10,630 --> 04:56:12,590
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: kung bakit hindi kayo pinagbigyan

6281
04:56:12,590 --> 04:56:14,510
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: dito na napakahalaga

6282
04:56:14,510 --> 04:56:16,770
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: at napakaganda at tested na programa na ito.

6283
04:56:16,790 --> 04:56:17,830
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So,

6284
04:56:18,440 --> 04:56:19,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tama ho, Mr. Chair.

6285
04:56:20,430 --> 04:56:22,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Coming from the long-standing chairman

6286
04:56:22,670 --> 04:56:24,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of the Agri Committee, the

6287
04:56:24,430 --> 04:56:26,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: small water impoundment

6288
04:56:26,950 --> 04:56:28,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that's community-based that's happening

6289
04:56:28,530 --> 04:56:30,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nationwide, the thousands that we've built over

6290
04:56:30,610 --> 04:56:32,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the years, are actually helping in food

6291
04:56:32,510 --> 04:56:34,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: security and water security.

6292
04:56:34,810 --> 04:56:36,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, sana, bagamat hindi na

6293
04:56:36,590 --> 04:56:38,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: namin nilista sa napakahaba namin

6294
04:56:38,510 --> 04:56:40,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: listahan, sana ho makonsider again

6295
04:56:40,750 --> 04:56:42,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung pagdagdag ng

6296
04:56:42,490 --> 04:56:44,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: budget for the LAWA at BINHI, which

6297
04:56:44,510 --> 04:56:46,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is housed under the Disaster Resilience,

6298
04:56:46,790 --> 04:56:48,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Program of the Department.

6299
04:56:49,070 --> 04:56:50,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair.

6300
04:56:51,130 --> 04:56:52,810
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Also, Mr. Chair, I think you

6301
04:56:52,810 --> 04:56:55,030
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: do have a program for potable water

6302
04:56:55,030 --> 04:56:56,830
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: systems needed

6303
04:56:56,830 --> 04:56:57,810
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: for

6304
04:56:57,810 --> 04:57:01,010
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: emergency areas

6305
04:57:01,010 --> 04:57:01,930
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: na mga

6306
04:57:01,930 --> 04:57:04,950
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: mga siguro

6307
04:57:04,950 --> 04:57:06,790
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: disaster hit areas.

6308
04:57:07,530 --> 04:57:08,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, the pilot that's

6309
04:57:08,850 --> 04:57:11,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: running right now is housed in the

6310
04:57:11,010 --> 04:57:13,170
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: community-driven development.

6311
04:57:13,490 --> 04:57:14,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We are actually about, we're

6312
04:57:14,910 --> 04:57:16,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: not looking at it just from a paradigm of

6313
04:57:16,750 --> 04:57:18,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: emergency response, but we're looking at those

6314
04:57:18,770 --> 04:57:20,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: communities na walang potable

6315
04:57:20,470 --> 04:57:22,830
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and constant source

6316
04:57:22,830 --> 04:57:24,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of water. So, we embarked on

6317
04:57:24,710 --> 04:57:26,550
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: this pilot that we're about to open in

6318
04:57:26,550 --> 04:57:28,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Masbate, where an island has been

6319
04:57:28,650 --> 04:57:30,790
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: suffering from chronic water

6320
04:57:30,790 --> 04:57:32,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: shortage. It's an air-to-waters

6321
04:57:32,450 --> 04:57:34,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: technology that hopefully

6322
04:57:34,670 --> 04:57:36,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: works. And from all indications,

6323
04:57:37,030 --> 04:57:38,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it was working. Medyo nahirapan lang kami

6324
04:57:38,810 --> 04:57:40,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to get the necessary certifications

6325
04:57:40,630 --> 04:57:42,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na yung lumalabas sa tubig e pasado.

6326
04:57:43,010 --> 04:57:44,290
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But now, everything's online.

6327
04:57:44,830 --> 04:57:46,650
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, thank you. Mr. Chair, so,

6328
04:57:46,750 --> 04:57:48,390
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: would the good secretary be supporting

6329
04:57:48,390 --> 04:57:49,990
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: such an initiative that

6330
04:57:49,990 --> 04:57:52,650
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: we increase the, is it part of the

6331
04:57:52,650 --> 04:57:54,490
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: proposal for the augmentation?

6332
04:57:54,770 --> 04:57:56,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, we did not put it

6333
04:57:56,630 --> 04:57:58,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: there because ang haba-haba na ng listahan

6334
04:57:58,850 --> 04:58:00,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: namin, medyo nahiharing kami dahil 58

6335
04:58:00,610 --> 04:58:02,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: billion na ho yung listahan namin.

6336
04:58:02,590 --> 04:58:04,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero kung gusto ho nyo, ilalagay ho namin doon.

6337
04:58:05,770 --> 04:58:06,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's part of the

6338
04:58:06,670 --> 04:58:08,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: community-driven development

6339
04:58:08,130 --> 04:58:10,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: portfolio. Kalahi yan.

6340
04:58:10,790 --> 04:58:11,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kalahi seeds yan.

6341
04:58:12,510 --> 04:58:14,550
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Matutuwa ho yung director namin dyan kasi nga

6342
04:58:14,550 --> 04:58:16,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi na namin sinubmit yung mahabang listahan.

6343
04:58:16,750 --> 04:58:18,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We submitted to you an abridged

6344
04:58:18,650 --> 04:58:20,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: long list. But Mr. Chairman,

6345
04:58:21,050 --> 04:58:22,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: chronic water shortage

6346
04:58:22,610 --> 04:58:24,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: not just during times of disaster

6347
04:58:24,510 --> 04:58:26,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is a problem that we have to deal with.

6348
04:58:27,330 --> 04:58:29,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Stunting is related to that.

6349
04:58:29,490 --> 04:58:30,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then, yung

6350
04:58:30,090 --> 04:58:32,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pag tinamaan tayo ng disaster and we have to pull

6351
04:58:32,610 --> 04:58:34,550
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: those mobile equipment,

6352
04:58:35,210 --> 04:58:36,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: napakahirap logistically

6353
04:58:36,510 --> 04:58:38,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: like what's happening in our disaster site.

6354
04:58:38,650 --> 04:58:40,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, we're looking at it from a cost efficiency

6355
04:58:40,750 --> 04:58:42,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of both. Addressing chronic water

6356
04:58:42,850 --> 04:58:44,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: shortage for stunting and

6357
04:58:44,670 --> 04:58:46,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: waterless communities, but a permanent

6358
04:58:46,750 --> 04:58:48,890
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: solution kung tamaan

6359
04:58:48,890 --> 04:58:50,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sila ng disaster. So, we

6360
04:58:50,750 --> 04:58:53,150
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: will be submitting

6361
04:58:53,150 --> 04:58:55,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: now that you've directed us to do so.

6362
04:58:55,590 --> 04:58:56,950
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, thank you. So, we hope

6363
04:58:56,950 --> 04:58:58,630
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that medyo

6364
04:58:58,630 --> 04:59:00,050
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: miiling lang si Yusek da yan.

6365
04:59:00,630 --> 04:59:01,630
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Parang nung sinasabi.

6366
04:59:03,010 --> 04:59:03,970
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Doon sa support.

6367
04:59:04,550 --> 04:59:06,430
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: But anyway, Mr. Secretary, so

6368
04:59:06,430 --> 04:59:08,390
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I guess this is something important that

6369
04:59:08,390 --> 04:59:10,650
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: of course it's a wish list

6370
04:59:10,650 --> 04:59:12,830
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that we will be

6371
04:59:12,830 --> 04:59:14,810
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: supporting. Especially

6372
04:59:14,810 --> 04:59:16,690
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: after hearing from your, with your

6373
04:59:16,750 --> 04:59:18,870
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: explanation, doon sa need, of the

6374
04:59:18,870 --> 04:59:20,570
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: need of the mobile water

6375
04:59:20,570 --> 04:59:22,650
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: potable water systems.

6376
04:59:22,930 --> 04:59:25,070
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, both accounts are crucial.

6377
04:59:25,550 --> 04:59:26,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Small community-based

6378
04:59:26,950 --> 04:59:27,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: water impounding,

6379
04:59:28,690 --> 04:59:30,710
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: LAWA at BINHI. Long-term

6380
04:59:30,710 --> 04:59:32,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: solutions for, long-term

6381
04:59:32,650 --> 04:59:34,530
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: solution for waterless communities.

6382
04:59:35,330 --> 04:59:37,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: These are basic necessities.

6383
04:59:37,310 --> 04:59:38,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Water necessity. This is

6384
04:59:38,770 --> 04:59:40,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a basic necessity. So, we will

6385
04:59:40,870 --> 04:59:42,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: amend our submission to include

6386
04:59:42,950 --> 04:59:45,050

04:59:45,050 --> 04:59:46,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: potable,

6388
04:59:46,750 --> 04:59:48,930
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: water, 20 million lang po yun eh.

6389
04:59:50,090 --> 04:59:50,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Water

6390
04:59:50,610 --> 04:59:52,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: solution for waterless communities.

6391
04:59:53,810 --> 04:59:54,930
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Oh, thank you very much, Mr.

6403
05:00:14,520 --> 05:00:26,280
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, with that, Mr. Secretary, we fully support your budget and we look forward to the additional submissions to this Honorable Committee, Mr. Chair, na masuportahan pa natin yung pangangailangan ninyo.

6404
05:00:26,360 --> 05:00:27,100
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Thank you very much.

6405
05:00:27,460 --> 05:00:29,100
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Congratulations, Mr. Secretary.

6406
05:00:29,100 --> 05:00:30,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

6407
05:00:30,140 --> 05:00:31,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you, Congressman Enverga.

6408
05:00:31,700 --> 05:00:36,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Bagamat planted yung pagbati niyo kay Barry.

6409
05:00:36,620 --> 05:00:38,650
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you. Thank you very much.

6410
05:00:39,510 --> 05:00:56,770
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Mark, we would like to acknowledge Deputy Majority Leader, Kong Howard Ginto, Representative Guido Garbin, and Representative Dino Yulo.

6411
05:01:00,620 --> 05:01:01,540
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We

6412
05:01:02,360 --> 05:01:13,790
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: proceed. We recognize Kong Howard.

6413
05:01:13,790 --> 05:01:15,940
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon to the DSWD family,

6414
05:01:16,520 --> 05:01:23,060
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Secretary Rex. First and foremost, I would like to thank our good secretary. Last year,

6415
05:01:23,060 --> 05:01:32,200
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: October and November, we suffered a, I couldn't explain what it was. It's the hardest time

6416
05:01:32,200 --> 05:01:52,480
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: in our province. And the secretary, together with his team, was there immediately. I think

6417
05:01:52,480 --> 05:01:59,520
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: it was only overnight or in the two nights with, excuse me, Diane, was there. And not

6418
05:01:59,520 --> 05:02:02,180
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: just once, but twice in a span.

6419
05:02:02,200 --> 05:02:13,400
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: So, Mr. Secretary, thank you for your prompt response. With that, I would like to ask about

6420
05:02:13,400 --> 05:02:19,740
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: the Kalahe program. As we mentioned, during that calamity, marami po sa aming mga small

6421
05:02:19,740 --> 05:02:27,080
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: bridges, kasi marami po kami mga island barangay, talaga pong na-wipe out. And in this small

6422
05:02:27,080 --> 05:02:31,540
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: barangay, meron pong mga eskwelahan. And I just don't have the pictures right now.

6423
05:02:32,200 --> 05:02:38,980
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: May mga estudyante po kaming tumatawid po papunta sa isang eskwelahan na tumatawid ng tubig

6424
05:02:38,980 --> 05:02:43,440
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: na hanggang bewang po yung ano, because na-wipe out po yung kanilang mga foot bridges. So,

6425
05:02:43,440 --> 05:02:51,720
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: we wanted to ask how, what are the parameters or requirements in availing of this program?

6426
05:02:54,520 --> 05:03:02,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, yung Kalahe kasi is a big line item. Marami ang laman. There's zero in.

6427
05:03:03,640 --> 05:03:12,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, we have one GOP na local funded, which is to the amount of 300 million.

6428
05:03:12,480 --> 05:03:33,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The locally funded is around 300 million. Now, the criteria is very simple. We look at the poverty incidents. We look at the capacity of the LGU.

6429
05:03:33,640 --> 05:03:35,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na nakaraan ba ay maganda

6430
05:03:35,600 --> 05:03:38,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung implementasyon. Kasi kung

6431
05:03:38,220 --> 05:03:40,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: matatandaan natin, may counterparting ito.

6432
05:03:40,520 --> 05:03:49,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The whole concept is empowering the community, ownership of the community, pero mag-front kayo ng 20%, not in cash but in sweat equity.

6433
05:03:49,990 --> 05:03:55,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now, yung KALAHI, the bigger program itself, that was running for 20, 30 years, naubos na ho yung pondo niya

6434
05:03:55,980 --> 05:03:59,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because it's a World Bank loan

6435
05:03:59,600 --> 05:04:02,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that was extinguished last year.

6436
05:04:02,400 --> 05:04:06,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang successor program niya is called the Panahon ng Pagkilos.

6437
05:04:06,400 --> 05:04:08,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's a line item again.

6438
05:04:08,500 --> 05:04:14,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pretty much the same concept, except that it looks for disaster resilience program as an added dimension.

6439
05:04:14,280 --> 05:04:19,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So poverty, stunting, presence of vulnerable communities, including IPs,

6440
05:04:19,480 --> 05:04:25,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and the prevalence of disasters so that we can come up with disaster-resilient plans or sub-projects.

6441
05:04:25,320 --> 05:04:30,840
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: And do we have any budget allocated for this for the following fiscal year?

6442
05:04:31,240 --> 05:04:32,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meron po, because it's an ODA.

6443
05:04:33,200 --> 05:04:39,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But like most ODAs, naka-prescribed na when we submitted the list of target LGUs.

6444
05:04:39,620 --> 05:04:46,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: What we can do right now is to submit to the committee and your office the different LGUs that made the cut for CAPIS,

6445
05:04:46,820 --> 05:04:54,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: both for locally funded and at the same time for the ODA that I mentioned for community-driven development.

6446
05:04:54,100 --> 05:04:55,280
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Thank you for that.

6447
05:04:55,320 --> 05:05:01,860
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Secretary, and right now, could you say that the requested budget is sufficient?

6448
05:05:03,620 --> 05:05:05,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It never is, Mr. Chairman.

6449
05:05:05,940 --> 05:05:07,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we hope that you can also look into this.

6450
05:05:07,860 --> 05:05:09,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero pahabaan na ng pahabaan listahan namin.

6451
05:05:09,800 --> 05:05:11,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Baka hindi na talaga kami ma-entertain.

6452
05:05:11,580 --> 05:05:14,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi dagdag kami ng dagdag sa listahan.

6453
05:05:14,340 --> 05:05:20,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But it's a good program because it empowers communities and it brings development into the far-flung areas.

6454
05:05:20,120 --> 05:05:21,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Maliit man yung proyekto, but meaningful.

6455
05:05:22,140 --> 05:05:25,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi katulad ng sinabi nyo, tulay na araw-araw ginagamit.

6456
05:05:25,320 --> 05:05:27,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Water system na araw-araw ginagamit.

6457
05:05:28,540 --> 05:05:29,460
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Tama po, Mr. Chair.

6458
05:05:29,960 --> 05:05:30,620
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: We'll see.

6459
05:05:30,780 --> 05:05:35,860
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Maybe our appropriations may allocate additional budget for that.

6460
05:05:36,200 --> 05:05:40,940
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: My next question, although actually it's been raised already several times by our fellow congressmen,

6461
05:05:41,400 --> 05:05:43,700
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: so I think I would just manifest.

6462
05:05:43,700 --> 05:05:51,200
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: The SLP program that you have established is really helping a lot of associations,

6463
05:05:51,740 --> 05:05:54,360
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: not just in my district, but nationwide.

6464
05:05:55,320 --> 05:06:09,540
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: And I hope our Committee on Appropriations may add, I heard that kulang po ng P1 billion, tama po, based on our request.

6465
05:06:09,540 --> 05:06:13,940
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Our Vice Chairman of Appropriations is here.

6466
05:06:13,940 --> 05:06:18,200
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Maybe we can prioritize ito pong SLP.

6467
05:06:18,200 --> 05:06:24,540
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Karamihan po ng mga congressmen, naninig po natin, ito, much favored po nila talaga yung SLP program.

6468
05:06:24,540 --> 05:06:31,220
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Because it not just empowers the communities, it really changes the lives of our constituents.

6469
05:06:31,840 --> 05:06:36,360
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: So with that, I would like to end my manifestation.

6470
05:06:37,460 --> 05:06:38,500
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Mr. Chair, yun lang po.

6471
05:06:38,500 --> 05:06:44,240
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Baka pwede po natin tugunan yung pangailangan ng DSWD with regards to the SLP program.

6472
05:06:44,420 --> 05:06:45,220
Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Maraming salamat po.

6473
05:06:46,060 --> 05:06:47,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

6474
05:06:47,180 --> 05:06:47,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you. Good congressman.

6475
05:06:53,560 --> 05:06:55,740
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, Cong Howard.

6476
05:06:57,020 --> 05:06:57,960
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: You now recognize.

6477
05:06:59,380 --> 05:07:01,380
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Dino Yulo.

6478
05:07:01,840 --> 05:07:03,840
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

6479
05:07:03,840 --> 05:07:07,800
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: Good afternoon, my colleagues, most especially good afternoon to the whole DSWD family.

6480
05:07:07,800 --> 05:07:09,800
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: Secretary, good afternoon.

6481
05:07:09,800 --> 05:07:12,800
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: This is quite short, just a manifestation.

6482
05:07:12,800 --> 05:07:16,380
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: Our district is heavily ravaged by Typhoon Tino.

6483
05:07:16,380 --> 05:07:18,380
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: I think many of you were there.

6484
05:07:18,380 --> 05:07:24,380
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: We had a number of hanging bridges then built under the Kalahi Seeds program.

6485
05:07:24,380 --> 05:07:28,380
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: I think almost all were destroyed during the Typhoon Tino.

6486
05:07:28,380 --> 05:07:32,260
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: So maybe you can take a look at those hanging bridges.

6487
05:07:32,260 --> 05:07:37,920
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: But more importantly, we'd just like to thank you and commend the DSWD.

6488
05:07:38,580 --> 05:07:52,920
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: Our district was not only ravaged by Typhoon Tino, we have underwent maybe four or five eruptions of Mount Kanlaon and just recently the devastation of the sugar industry with the red-striped soft scale insect.

6489
05:07:53,220 --> 05:07:56,880
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: In all of this, I think our able partner has been the DSWD.

6490
05:07:56,880 --> 05:07:58,080
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: So thank you.

6491
05:07:58,380 --> 05:08:07,380
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: Secretary, the whole DSWD family, and a special commendation to our, I don't know if it's here, our regional director, Director Arwin.

6492
05:08:07,380 --> 05:08:09,380
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: Thank you, regional director Arwin.

6493
05:08:09,380 --> 05:08:10,380
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: Thank you, sir.

6494
05:08:10,380 --> 05:08:12,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, we'll look into those Kalahi bridges.

6495
05:08:12,380 --> 05:08:13,380
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: Yes, please.

6496
05:08:13,380 --> 05:08:17,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We'll make sure that we get the list of the ones that were destroyed and try to figure out what we can do to repair them.

6497
05:08:17,380 --> 05:08:18,380
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: Okay, thank you.

6498
05:08:18,380 --> 05:08:20,380
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: Thank you, Secretary.

6499
05:08:20,380 --> 05:08:22,380
Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

6500
05:08:22,380 --> 05:08:26,940
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, Mr. Dino.

6501
05:08:26,940 --> 05:08:29,940
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We now recognize Cong. Garbin.

6502
05:08:29,940 --> 05:08:32,470
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: Thank you.

6503
05:08:32,470 --> 05:08:33,470
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: Thank you, Chair.

6504
05:08:33,470 --> 05:08:35,470
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: Magandang hapon po to the SEC.

6505
05:08:35,470 --> 05:08:38,470
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: Magandang hapon to the DSWD family.

6506
05:08:38,470 --> 05:08:44,470
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: My question pertains to the implementation of Republic Act 9344.

6507
05:08:44,470 --> 05:08:59,470
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: Since the DSWD is at the center of implementing the diversion program through the Juvenile Justice Council,

6508
05:09:00,470 --> 05:09:11,470
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: the recent event, one that happened in Tacloban, the other one in Zamboanga,

6509
05:09:11,470 --> 05:09:20,470
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: discloses some of the loopholes and weaknesses of the existing law.

6510
05:09:20,470 --> 05:09:27,470
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: Some of the findings were the failure because of the,

6511
05:09:27,470 --> 05:09:39,470
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: the functional, lack of functional well-budgeted establishment,

6512
05:09:39,470 --> 05:09:55,080
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: especially referring to the Bahay Pag-asa that will manage the intervention program of these children in conflict with the law.

6513
05:09:55,080 --> 05:10:01,110
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: May I inquire, Mr. Secretary, whether the proposed budget,

6514
05:10:01,110 --> 05:10:08,470
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: for 2027 includes a budget for the establishment of Bahay Pag-asa in different localities,

6515
05:10:08,470 --> 05:10:12,470
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: especially in big cities and urban areas?

6516
05:10:12,470 --> 05:10:15,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's a very relevant and timely question.

6517
05:10:15,470 --> 05:10:22,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: In the JJWA, the LGUs are the ones tasked to build and fund and operate the Bahay Pag-asas.

6518
05:10:22,470 --> 05:10:25,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The DSWD's main role is to set the standards,

6519
05:10:25,470 --> 05:10:29,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to monitor the progress of the intervention programs.

6520
05:10:29,470 --> 05:10:34,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero years later, we have given the data na highly urbanized cities don't have Bahay Pag-asas,

6521
05:10:34,470 --> 05:10:36,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a lot of the provinces do not.

6522
05:10:36,470 --> 05:10:38,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kaya nga kanina nung tinanong ako,

6523
05:10:38,470 --> 05:10:42,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is it time to revisit the JJWA?

6524
05:10:42,470 --> 05:10:48,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yes, in the sense na dapat natin lagyan ng provision for the national government to step in already,

6525
05:10:48,470 --> 05:10:53,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because hindi natin makita yung full fruition ng restorative justice kung wala hong mga Bahay Pag-asa na ito.

6526
05:10:53,470 --> 05:10:54,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pangalawa,

6527
05:10:55,470 --> 05:10:58,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: last year, because of the lack of Bahay Pag-asa,

6528
05:10:58,470 --> 05:11:04,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the Congress and the Senate gave us a new creature called the Regional Bahay Pag-asa.

6529
05:11:04,470 --> 05:11:05,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Five.

6530
05:11:05,470 --> 05:11:08,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're not fully funded, initially funded.

6531
05:11:08,470 --> 05:11:11,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're still waiting for the SARO to be released,

6532
05:11:11,470 --> 05:11:14,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero we're constantly following up because naka-for-later-release siya.

6533
05:11:14,470 --> 05:11:19,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But the authorities in DBM understand the magnitude na kailangan masimulan na ito.

6534
05:11:19,470 --> 05:11:25,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But Mr. Chairman, let me point out na bagama't wala yang mga Bahay Pag-asa,

6535
05:11:25,470 --> 05:11:30,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: meron pang isang provision na last year nilagay sa libro ng DSWD, or sa budget ng DSWD.

6536
05:11:30,470 --> 05:11:38,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yun yung ability namin na mag-farm out ng services for private social welfare and development agencies,

6537
05:11:38,470 --> 05:11:40,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi may mga private naman eh,

6538
05:11:40,470 --> 05:11:43,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na pwede kami magbayad ng cost of care.

6539
05:11:43,470 --> 05:11:48,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So inaantay na lang namin yung final go signal because the guidelines are being drafted already,

6540
05:11:48,470 --> 05:11:50,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: together with DBM and COA.

6541
05:11:50,470 --> 05:11:53,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Once we do that, we can now refer clients to

6542
05:11:53,470 --> 05:11:58,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: existing private facilities that can rehabilitate

6543
05:11:58,470 --> 05:12:02,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and hopefully reintegrate with the right intervention plan,

6544
05:12:02,470 --> 05:12:04,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: our CICLs.

6545
05:12:04,470 --> 05:12:07,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

6546
05:12:07,100 --> 05:12:13,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: I fully understand the situation of the SWD.

6547
05:12:13,100 --> 05:12:18,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: But as you know, those referrals will only be very limited,

6548
05:12:18,100 --> 05:12:24,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: especially if cases such as Samboanga Tacloban

6549
05:12:24,100 --> 05:12:28,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: and cases that will happen in far-flung areas.

6550
05:12:28,100 --> 05:12:33,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: And so before we speak of intervention and their version program

6551
05:12:33,100 --> 05:12:37,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: that could be implemented by the council to be managed by DSWD,

6552
05:12:37,100 --> 05:12:42,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: I hope that the national government will also have an intervention

6553
05:12:42,100 --> 05:12:46,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: in giving funds to those localities that can,

6554
05:12:46,100 --> 05:12:51,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: because not everyone can afford this Bahay Pag-asa.

6555
05:12:51,100 --> 05:12:53,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: And I hope that this,

6556
05:12:54,100 --> 05:12:59,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: intervention by the national government in coming up with those funds

6557
05:12:59,100 --> 05:13:02,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: to be allocated for those local government units

6558
05:13:02,100 --> 05:13:05,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: and that can maintain this Bahay Pag-asa.

6559
05:13:05,100 --> 05:13:07,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: My second question is,

6560
05:13:07,100 --> 05:13:12,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: considering that there were so many proposals

6561
05:13:12,100 --> 05:13:17,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: in lowering the age of criminal responsibility,

6562
05:13:17,100 --> 05:13:23,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: what is your take on this several proposals?

6563
05:13:23,100 --> 05:13:28,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: Well, some are saying that the innocence that we are protecting

6564
05:13:28,100 --> 05:13:36,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: 20 years ago when we adopt and approve this law,

6565
05:13:36,100 --> 05:13:38,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: Republic Act 9344,

6566
05:13:38,100 --> 05:13:45,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: is no longer existing in this present time,

6567
05:13:45,100 --> 05:13:47,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: considering that, you know,

6568
05:13:47,100 --> 05:13:50,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: minors right now, their maturity comes early

6569
05:13:50,100 --> 05:13:52,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: because of their exposure

6570
05:13:52,100 --> 05:13:55,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: to social media and they become more exposed,

6571
05:13:55,100 --> 05:13:58,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: more informed and more daring.

6572
05:13:58,100 --> 05:14:03,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: What is your take on lowering the age of criminal responsibility?

6573
05:14:03,100 --> 05:14:07,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: Some are proposing from 15 to 12 years of age.

6574
05:14:07,100 --> 05:14:10,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: Like in other jurisdictions, as young as 10,

6575
05:14:10,100 --> 05:14:15,100
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: like Singapore, criminal responsibility already attached.

6576
05:14:15,100 --> 05:14:19,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, I take the position of all our child welfare advocates

6577
05:14:19,100 --> 05:14:21,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that we are against lowering down

6578
05:14:21,100 --> 05:14:24,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the minimum age of criminal liability.

6579
05:14:24,100 --> 05:14:27,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We do not want to lower it for the following reasons.

6580
05:14:27,100 --> 05:14:31,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number one, we have not yet fully implemented the law,

6581
05:14:31,100 --> 05:14:33,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yet we want to lower it down again.

6582
05:14:33,100 --> 05:14:36,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I think we have to fulfill the provisions,

6583
05:14:36,100 --> 05:14:38,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as you pointed out, by the law,

6584
05:14:38,100 --> 05:14:41,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: before we can say whether the law is successful

6585
05:14:41,100 --> 05:14:44,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or whether it's effective or not effective.

6586
05:14:44,100 --> 05:14:47,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pangalawa, after my discussions with Secretary Vida,

6587
05:14:47,100 --> 05:14:50,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: medyo mahirapan rin tayo i-justify sa world stage,

6588
05:14:50,100 --> 05:14:54,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that from the age of 15,

6589
05:14:54,100 --> 05:14:57,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 14, no, 15, 15,

6590
05:14:57,100 --> 05:14:59,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: biglang ibababa natin,

6591
05:14:59,100 --> 05:15:00,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para tayong

6592
05:15:00,000 --> 05:15:05,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: counterintuitive while everybody is doing that. But I do understand where this notion is coming from.

6593
05:15:05,200 --> 05:15:12,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and in one of the hearings in the senate uh the lowering of the minimum age the science doesn't

6594
05:15:12,080 --> 05:15:19,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: show it. The part of the brain of the child, and numerous literature shows na hindi pa siya

6595
05:15:19,040 --> 05:15:24,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: fully nagde-develop. In fact, without going into too much detail because I'm barred from doing so

6596
05:15:24,480 --> 05:15:31,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng jjwa to discuss in in there are other risk factors not just the age we have to address the

6597
05:15:31,760 --> 05:15:36,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: root cause of the problem as the child psychologist and child psychiatrist handling the takloban case

6598
05:15:36,320 --> 05:15:44,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pointed out now one risk factor on the individual two risk factor on the family three risk factor on

6599
05:15:44,480 --> 05:15:52,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the community, schools, bullying; and four, risk factor na mismo on what's available online.

6600
05:15:52,960 --> 05:15:54,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: i think we can address the

6601
05:15:54,480 --> 05:16:13,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: this if we address those various risk factors, not just lowering the age. Kumbaga yung bata na hindi pa fully nagde-develop yung kanyang pag-iisip, ilayo na natin dito sa mga risk factor na maaaring itulak siya na gawin yung hindi niya dapat ginagawa.

6602
05:16:13,200 --> 05:16:16,560
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: thank you for that uh this is secretary we fully acknowledge that parents parental

6603
05:16:16,560 --> 05:16:23,120
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: responsibility is at the core of this one and we always say that discipline starts at home

6604
05:16:24,240 --> 05:16:24,480
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: but

6605
05:16:24,480 --> 05:16:33,920
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: uh if we can infer on the attack loban case that 14 and 15 years old they know

6606
05:16:33,920 --> 05:16:41,120
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: fully well what they are doing in fact they studied the law and use it in their favor um

6607
05:16:43,120 --> 05:16:49,120
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: when they studied the law they say that they will escape criminal responsibility so those are the

6608
05:16:49,840 --> 05:16:54,240
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: uh the the inference that we can take that a 14 year old or a

6609
05:16:54,240 --> 05:17:03,360
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: 15 year old or a 14 year old has this full mental capacity to know the full consequences of this

6610
05:17:03,360 --> 05:17:06,520
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: unlawful act

6611
05:17:06,520 --> 05:17:09,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: mr chairman if i may be allowed to respond on a general term because again i cannot

6612
05:17:09,760 --> 05:17:16,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: be talking about an ongoing case that pertains minors more so not just legally but ethically

6613
05:17:16,880 --> 05:17:19,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung child psychologist at child psychiatrist

6614
05:17:19,280 --> 05:17:24,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na may hawak doon sa dalawang bata natin says, 'Let's not just look at the top line.'

6615
05:17:26,640 --> 05:17:46,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Top line, yes, mukhang alam nila. But in deeper inference, they didn't understand. Napaka-magical nung kanilang pag-intindi. Yung isa sabi niya, 'Oo, hindi tayo makukulong,' kasi ang babaw ng pagkaintindi niya doon sa batas. In fact, akala niya pwede na siya umuwi afterwards.

6616
05:17:46,480 --> 05:17:49,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Post, post, and I will end my statement with this.

6617
05:17:49,680 --> 05:17:51,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Post-evaluation after a month

6618
05:17:51,840 --> 05:17:56,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or two, ngayon lang nila naiintindihan yung severity or yung consequences ng pangyayari.

6619
05:17:56,160 --> 05:17:59,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: so there again it shows that the development of the child

6620
05:17:59,920 --> 05:18:04,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: mentally is not fully enough to comprehend the consequences more so

6621
05:18:06,400 --> 05:18:09,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang tawag nga nila sa psychological terms, when I spoke to the consultant, magical.

6622
05:18:11,440 --> 05:18:18,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Akala nila the incidents do not have the necessary consequences.

6623
05:18:18,840 --> 05:18:20,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Babalik-balikan ko po yung developmental

6624
05:18:20,320 --> 05:18:25,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: stages are still not there, or the mental acumen or the capacities to

6625
05:18:25,200 --> 05:18:26,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: understand

6626
05:18:26,160 --> 05:18:28,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: wala ho doon. Alam niya,

6627
05:18:28,000 --> 05:18:28,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pinag-aralan

6628
05:18:28,780 --> 05:18:29,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: niya, pero

6629
05:18:29,600 --> 05:18:30,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: mali

6630
05:18:30,000 --> 05:18:30,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: rin yung

6631
05:18:30,720 --> 05:18:31,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kanyang

6632
05:18:31,520 --> 05:18:32,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pagkakaunawa,

6633
05:18:32,000 --> 05:18:32,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: more so

6634
05:18:32,400 --> 05:18:32,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi niya

6635
05:18:32,980 --> 05:18:33,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: naiintindihan

6636
05:18:33,520 --> 05:18:43,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung consequences because of his own lack of development

6637
05:18:43,240 --> 05:18:46,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but also the risk factors na na-expose siya, sila.

6638
05:18:46,240 --> 05:18:49,280
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: Well, thank you, Mr. Secretary. I don't question

6639
05:18:49,280 --> 05:18:56,320
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: the noble intention of the law, which is really to a child-centered and restorative policy. What I'm trying to discuss here is the

6640
05:18:57,040 --> 05:19:02,560
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: ineptness of the law in implementing the same which is one is the lack of

6641
05:19:04,320 --> 05:19:10,880
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: another establishment that will implement those integration and diversion program and second is

6642
05:19:10,880 --> 05:19:16,960
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: also to strike the balance between protecting the innocence and at the same time giving justice

6643
05:19:16,960 --> 05:19:24,640
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: uh to the victims because if we don't do that then then we will uh left them with a sense of

6644
05:19:24,640 --> 05:19:28,400
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: injustice. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

6645
05:19:28,400 --> 05:19:31,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, if I may just be allowed to jump in one more time

6646
05:19:31,270 --> 05:19:35,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we totally agree and we will leave it to the open discussion uh that will happen in the legislative

6647
05:19:35,040 --> 05:19:41,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: process but if there's one angle to look at and i'm not sure if the uh everybody's been

6648
05:19:41,760 --> 05:19:46,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: looking at this in this case the 14 year old that has no

6649
05:19:46,960 --> 05:19:54,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: discernment yes we will intervene yes we will do the diversion if that

6650
05:19:54,000 --> 05:19:57,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: happen diversion because the court will not take cognizance of him

6651
05:19:57,920 --> 05:20:02,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: so we will try we are trying our best to do the interventions but the biggest problem there is

6652
05:20:02,400 --> 05:20:09,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the law never saw the case where in the 14 year old but what if i'm not saying that it will not

6653
05:20:09,120 --> 05:20:14,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: happen? What if we can't rehabilitate? Tatanda at tatanda

6654
05:20:14,240 --> 05:20:18,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: siya sa center nang wala siyang klarong

6655
05:20:18,320 --> 05:20:28,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: escape—exit, sorry, exit mechanism, unlike the other one na pag merong discernment after the age of majority meron siyang exit mechanism, whether sa regular na kulungan or ibabalik sa komunidad.

6656
05:20:28,440 --> 05:20:35,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but in this case i don't think the law foresaw the 14 uh those that without age of without the

6657
05:20:35,600 --> 05:20:40,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: discernment the who commit heinous crimes who we will later on let's say

6658
05:20:40,640 --> 05:20:49,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sabihin naming hindi namin kaya i-rehabilitate; wala siyang pupuntahan kundi maiwan sa amin.

6659
05:20:49,760 --> 05:20:53,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So that's something that we might have to look at and further categorize

6660
05:20:53,640 --> 05:20:58,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it. But again I leave it to the good Congress to further legislate.

6661
05:20:58,680 --> 05:21:01,000
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: Well, just to add to that, there are some

6662
05:21:01,000 --> 05:21:06,000
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: good proposals pending before the committees and it's still a child centered and maintains the

6663
05:21:06,640 --> 05:21:11,840
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: restorative policy it's just it's just lower the age of criminal responsibility but

6664
05:21:12,640 --> 05:21:16,320
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: as to the suspension automatic suspension of sentence it is retained

6665
05:21:16,960 --> 05:21:21,680
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: so the confidentiality of records is still retained and at the same time the intervention

6666
05:21:21,680 --> 05:21:26,880
Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: and their version program will still be retained it's just that the proposal is just to lower

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: the criminal age of responsibility. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary.

6705
05:23:15,020 --> 05:23:17,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, the evaluation of that

6706
05:23:17,300 --> 05:23:19,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or the assessment of that as well as the funding

6707
05:23:19,080 --> 05:23:20,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: component of that lies with one

6708
05:23:20,580 --> 05:23:22,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of our attached agency, the National

05:23:22,080 --> 05:23:23,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Commission on Disability Affairs.

6710
05:23:23,660 --> 05:23:25,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The Executive Director will be the one

6711
05:23:25,220 --> 05:23:27,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: taking this question.

6712
05:23:27,380 --> 05:23:28,580
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: With the indulgence of the good

6713
05:23:28,580 --> 05:23:30,420
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: Secretary and Mr. Chair.

6714
05:23:30,420 --> 05:23:32,600
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: So, ang fund po is nasa

6715
05:23:32,600 --> 05:23:34,640
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: NCDA under the augmentation

6716
05:23:34,640 --> 05:23:36,980
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: but usually, nanggagaling po ito

6717
05:23:36,980 --> 05:23:39,400
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: from the PCSO

6718
05:23:39,400 --> 05:23:41,940
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: which is very small lang po.

6719
05:23:41,940 --> 05:23:43,860
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: And the provision of FSL po,

6720
05:23:43,860 --> 05:23:45,540
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: itong ating mga interpreter is

6721
05:23:45,540 --> 05:23:47,620
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: by, as need arises,

6722
05:23:47,620 --> 05:23:51,340
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: depending po doon sa mga sumusulat po sa amin

6723
05:23:51,340 --> 05:23:55,960
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: who are needing interpreters po.

6724
05:23:55,960 --> 05:23:57,660
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Pu pwede nalang po ba kami makahingi

6725
05:23:57,660 --> 05:24:01,140
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ng mga kaukulang datos po

6726
05:24:01,140 --> 05:24:03,500
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: regarding po sa

6727
05:24:03,500 --> 05:24:05,500
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: mga hinihingi ko po na datos dito,

6728
05:24:05,500 --> 05:24:07,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair?

6729
05:24:07,620 --> 05:24:08,940
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: Yes, Mr. Chair.

6730
05:24:08,940 --> 05:24:11,540
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: NCDA will provide you the list of

6731
05:24:11,540 --> 05:24:14,260
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: provision that were given by NCDA

6732
05:24:14,260 --> 05:24:15,940
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: in the past three years po.

6733
05:24:15,940 --> 05:24:17,900
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Thank you po. Maraming salamat.

6734
05:24:17,900 --> 05:24:20,420
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Chair, alam naman po natin na yung

6735
05:24:20,420 --> 05:24:23,660
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: frontline auxiliary services devolved po yan, diba?

6736
05:24:23,660 --> 05:24:28,740
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, papaano po ang suportang ibinibigay ng DSWD,

6737
05:24:28,740 --> 05:24:30,820
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: particularly ng inyong inyong pong ahensya,

6738
05:24:30,820 --> 05:24:34,540
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: sa mga LGU na walang kapasidad na suportahan o tumugon

6739
05:24:34,540 --> 05:24:36,500
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: dito sa mga auxiliary services neto,

6740
05:24:36,500 --> 05:24:39,380
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: particularly on FSL interpreters?

6741
05:24:39,380 --> 05:24:42,900
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: At meron po ba tayong datos?

6742
05:24:42,900 --> 05:24:45,260
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ilan sa mga syudad at munisipalidad

6743
05:24:45,260 --> 05:24:50,060
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: yung may access at walang access sa mga FSL interpreters?

6744
05:24:50,420 --> 05:24:52,420
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: Yes, Mr. Chair.

6745
05:24:52,420 --> 05:24:55,300
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: Currently po, wala po kaming nare-receive na request

6746
05:24:55,300 --> 05:24:59,700
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: from the LGU in terms of the assistance for interpreters.

6747
05:24:59,700 --> 05:25:03,940
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: What we receive are requests from the national government agencies

6748
05:25:03,940 --> 05:25:05,340
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: which we provided.

6749
05:25:05,340 --> 05:25:08,660
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: However, kailan lang po nag-meeting po kami

6750
05:25:08,660 --> 05:25:13,420
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: sa ilang organizations of deaf within the country

6751
05:25:13,420 --> 05:25:19,060
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: at napag-usapan po namin which we proposed also to the DSWD Academy

6752
05:25:19,060 --> 05:25:20,260
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: to provide po.

6753
05:25:20,260 --> 05:25:23,940
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: So, we have a curriculum for each LGU na magkaroon po tayo ng

6754
05:25:23,940 --> 05:25:26,260
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: Filipino Sign Language interpreter po.

6755
05:25:26,260 --> 05:25:31,260
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, wala pong datos sa mga syudad o munisipalidad na

6756
05:25:31,260 --> 05:25:34,700
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: sino ba yung mga syudad o munisipyo na meron o wala?

6757
05:25:34,700 --> 05:25:37,260
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: May ganun po bang datos ang ahensya?

6758
05:25:37,260 --> 05:25:40,580
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: Sa ngayon po, Mr. Chair, wala po kaming datos.

6759
05:25:40,580 --> 05:25:44,860
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: Opo. Pero yun nga po, given the fact na wala nga po,

6760
05:25:44,860 --> 05:25:52,140
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: but we anticipated kasi kahit po sa amin, yun pong kakulangan po ng Filipino Sign Language interpreter.

6761
05:25:52,140 --> 05:25:55,140
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: din po yung nakakaharap po ng NCDA.

6762
05:25:55,140 --> 05:26:02,140
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: That's why we deemed it proper to offer nga po itong curriculum na ito para po sa ating mga LGU

6763
05:26:02,140 --> 05:26:07,140
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: so that they can have at least two Filipino sign language interpreter po.

6764
05:26:07,140 --> 05:26:10,140
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Maraming salamat po sa paglilinaw na yan, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair.

6765
05:26:10,140 --> 05:26:19,140
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Indication lang po yan na medyo mahina po ang ating implementation particular dito sa batas for FSL.

6766
05:26:19,140 --> 05:26:26,140
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kasi kung wala po tayong datos ng mga syudad at munisipalidad na meron bang access sila sa mga FSL interpreters, ibig sabihin hindi natin alam.

6767
05:26:26,140 --> 05:26:29,140
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: nasaan ba yung mga gaps patungkol diyan.

6768
05:26:29,140 --> 05:26:36,140
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kasi ang report coming from the ground ay marami po, nga kababayan at kapatid natin mula sa Deaf community,

6769
05:26:36,140 --> 05:26:42,140
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: papasok halimbawa ng munisipyo o papasok ng Hall of Justice, papasok ng iba't-ibang mga opisina,

6770
05:26:42,140 --> 05:26:48,140
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: hindi sila magkaintindihan kasi walang mag-i-interpret for them.

6771
05:26:48,140 --> 05:26:53,560
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Yung accessibility po kasi hindi lang naman usapin niya na may rampa o yung pagiging PWD-friendly

6772
05:26:53,560 --> 05:26:56,920
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: and nandoon lang sa built na infrastructure.

6773
05:26:57,660 --> 05:27:01,400
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ito rin po ay nangangahulugan na available yung mga servisyo na ganyan,

6774
05:27:01,760 --> 05:27:03,740
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: lalong-lalo na sa mga kapatid natin na deaf.

6775
05:27:03,740 --> 05:27:10,200
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, yun po ang isa sana na po pwedeng tignan ng ating ahensya.

6776
05:27:10,600 --> 05:27:13,360
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Next po na tanong natin, Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary,

6777
05:27:13,360 --> 05:27:20,360
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: alam niyo po, isa sa mga talagang invisibilized na workforce itong mga FSL interpreters natin,

6778
05:27:20,820 --> 05:27:21,860
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: wala kasing standard eh.

6779
05:27:22,380 --> 05:27:24,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, walang standard kung magkano yung rate nila,

6780
05:27:25,040 --> 05:27:28,680
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: wala actually sila ng mga benepisyon na natatanggap.

6781
05:27:28,680 --> 05:27:31,980
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: In fact, sila-sila, from among themselves, sila-sila lang ang nag-uusap,

6782
05:27:32,280 --> 05:27:34,320
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: o magka-isa tayo, ganito ang rate natin.

6783
05:27:34,700 --> 05:27:38,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: O magka-isa tayo, ganito yung terms natin pagkukuha tayo ng project.

6784
05:27:39,180 --> 05:27:43,200
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ano po yung mga ginagawang hakbangin ng DSWD?

6785
05:27:43,360 --> 05:27:51,640
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Para kilalanin yung ating mga FSL interpreters bilang isang mahalagang bahagi ng ating workforce.

6786
05:27:52,000 --> 05:27:56,680
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: At ano po yung mga specific measures na pinopropose po ng kagawaran

6787
05:27:56,680 --> 05:28:03,400
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: para makilala natin itong mga FSL interpreters natin bilang bahagi ng formal na workforce natin, Mr. Chair.

6788
05:28:03,680 --> 05:28:04,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If I can jump in.

6789
05:28:05,060 --> 05:28:05,260
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Yes.

6790
05:28:06,840 --> 05:28:09,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Bahagi, pinasok po namin yan, if you can recall,

6791
05:28:09,240 --> 05:28:13,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: social protection sa SGLG is in the realm of the DSWD.

6792
05:28:13,880 --> 05:28:20,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kami ho nagbibigay ng mga indicators to compel our local government units to put in FSL interpreters.

6793
05:28:20,480 --> 05:28:23,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nilagay ho namin yan as one of the indicators that they will be graded upon.

6794
05:28:24,600 --> 05:28:30,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi like we said, responsibilidad ay agree ng mga national government agency, pati ng mga LGU ho yan.

6795
05:28:30,720 --> 05:28:33,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's a way of us compelling and formalizing.

6796
05:28:33,280 --> 05:28:43,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's in the SGLG rating card, yung availability or yung presence of an FSL interpreter in the locality.

6797
05:28:45,640 --> 05:28:48,800
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Maraming salamat po sa paglilinaw, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair.

6798
05:28:49,480 --> 05:28:55,240
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kaya ako po binabanggit ito dahil just recently po nag-deliver tayo ng privileged speech about this matter

6799
05:28:55,240 --> 05:28:59,220
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: na karagdagang proteksyon at pagkilala sa mga FSL interpreters natin.

6800
05:28:59,340 --> 05:29:05,640
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: In fact po, Mr. Secretary, nakakalungkot, nakakaroon tayo ng budget deliberation ngayon about your budget.

6801
05:29:05,640 --> 05:29:09,900
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Pero wala man lang available na nag-i-interpret ng pinag-uusapan natin.

6802
05:29:10,740 --> 05:29:14,640
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kung gustong maintindihan ng mga kapatid natin mula sa deaf community,

6803
05:29:15,200 --> 05:29:19,640
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: kung anong pinag-uusapan natin ngayon, sila yung kinakailangang maghanap ng paraan para magkaintindihan.

6804
05:29:20,600 --> 05:29:23,480
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Maintindihan nila itong pinag-uusapan natin ngayon.

6805
05:29:23,840 --> 05:29:29,180
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: And that shows, Mr. Chair, yung gaps talaga pagdating dito sa may existing na nabatas eh.

6806
05:29:29,660 --> 05:29:31,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So kaya kailangan nating palakasin ito.

6807
05:29:31,440 --> 05:29:37,800
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: At kung may commitment naman po ang DSWD na ipatupad ito at palakasin ang programang ito,

6808
05:29:37,880 --> 05:29:42,340
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: asahan nyo po na magiging kasama't kakampinyo po ang kamanggagawa party list sa bagay na ito.

6812
05:29:54,800 --> 05:29:59,300

6821
05:30:15,640 --> 05:30:17,940
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: para ipaglaban yung karagdagang

05:30:17,940 --> 05:30:19,960
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: budget kung kinakailangan para po

6863
05:31:47,820 --> 05:31:49,640

6864
05:31:49,900 --> 05:31:51,320

6865
05:31:51,440 --> 05:31:52,700

6866
05:31:54,080 --> 05:31:55,740
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: That's why, Mr. Chair,

6867
05:31:55,980 --> 05:31:58,160
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: if maybe some of us

6868
05:31:58,160 --> 05:31:59,580
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: will be included during the

6869
05:31:59,580 --> 05:32:01,500

6870
05:32:01,540 --> 05:32:03,660
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: if not even add budget

6871
05:32:03,660 --> 05:32:06,060
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: for QRF or DSWD.

6872
05:32:06,560 --> 05:32:08,000
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: In all the challenges

6873
05:32:08,000 --> 05:32:10,280
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: from Ludon, Visayas,

6874
05:32:10,420 --> 05:32:12,000
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: and even to the farthest

6875
05:32:12,000 --> 05:32:14,160
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: barangay in Mindanao,

6876
05:32:14,460 --> 05:32:16,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: DSWD had always

6877
05:32:16,100 --> 05:32:17,040
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: been the first,

6878
05:32:17,780 --> 05:32:19,780
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: sometimes even faster than

6879
05:32:19,780 --> 05:32:21,960
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: the quick response teams in the provinces

6880
05:32:21,960 --> 05:32:23,680
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: and the municipalities, especially

6881
05:32:23,680 --> 05:32:25,840
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: in giving aid in times

6882
05:32:25,840 --> 05:32:27,700
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: of calamity. That's why

6883
05:32:27,700 --> 05:32:29,720
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: I too, hopefully, will be able to

6884
05:32:29,720 --> 05:32:31,440
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: work it out, and it will be,

6885
05:32:31,440 --> 05:32:33,520
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: given opportunity to be

6886
05:32:33,520 --> 05:32:35,640
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: a member of Barsi, that we will work

6887
05:32:35,640 --> 05:32:37,580
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: on how we will be able to

6888
05:32:37,580 --> 05:32:39,260
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: increase the QRF

6889
05:32:39,260 --> 05:32:41,620
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: of DSWD.

6890
05:32:41,900 --> 05:32:43,480
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Hopefully, we will just ask

6891
05:32:43,480 --> 05:32:45,580
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: a letter, Mr. Chair,

6892
05:32:45,900 --> 05:32:47,460
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: requesting the committee

6893
05:32:47,460 --> 05:32:49,720
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: for additional budget and how much

6894
05:32:49,720 --> 05:32:51,660
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: so that we will be able to find,

6895
05:32:51,900 --> 05:32:53,440
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: hopefully, be able to be a part

6896
05:32:53,440 --> 05:32:55,600
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: to find ways to fund an additional

6897
05:32:55,600 --> 05:32:57,300
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: QRF and some other

6898
05:32:57,300 --> 05:32:59,380
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: important programs that were

6899
05:32:59,380 --> 05:33:01,380
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: not funded by DSWD.

6900
05:33:01,440 --> 05:33:02,980
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Second,

6901
05:33:03,560 --> 05:33:05,440
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Mr. Chair, may we know

6902
05:33:05,440 --> 05:33:07,560
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: if the status

6903
05:33:07,560 --> 05:33:08,580
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: of the

6904
05:33:08,580 --> 05:33:11,440

6905
05:33:11,440 --> 05:33:13,560
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: disaster center in Butuan

6906
05:33:13,560 --> 05:33:15,200
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: City, Mr. Chair?

6907
05:33:15,460 --> 05:33:17,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, if the good congressman will allow me

6908
05:33:17,640 --> 05:33:19,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to go back muna dun sa QRF briefly.

6909
05:33:19,740 --> 05:33:21,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If I can point out, wala hong

6910
05:33:21,540 --> 05:33:23,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: added cost sa gobyerno to bring

6911
05:33:23,560 --> 05:33:25,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: us back to 3 billion, kasi the

6912
05:33:25,480 --> 05:33:27,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: national QRF stands at around

6913
05:33:27,420 --> 05:33:28,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 18 billion.

6914
05:33:28,320 --> 05:33:29,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 18 billion?

6915
05:33:30,100 --> 05:33:31,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: No, yung isa, yung QRF.

6916
05:33:31,440 --> 05:33:35,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yeah, kasi parang,

6917
05:33:35,600 --> 05:33:37,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, remember, there's the national

6918
05:33:37,140 --> 05:33:39,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: QRF and there's the national

6919
05:33:39,240 --> 05:33:41,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: N-DREAM Fund. Then,

6920
05:33:41,260 --> 05:33:43,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nakatap kami lahat doon. We reimburse.

6921
05:33:44,100 --> 05:33:45,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung seed money ang

6922
05:33:45,240 --> 05:33:47,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pinag-uusapan namin, ang binibigay lang

6923
05:33:47,160 --> 05:33:49,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa amin noon, 1.2 billion, but because

6924
05:33:49,420 --> 05:33:51,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Congress felt that we needed a bigger

6925
05:33:51,320 --> 05:33:52,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: legroom, ginawa niyong 3 billion.

6926
05:33:53,700 --> 05:33:55,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Malaki ho yung diferensya noon. Walang

6927
05:33:55,280 --> 05:33:57,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: cost sa national government kasi nandiyan naman yung

6928
05:33:57,360 --> 05:33:59,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pondo, pero yung nakabank na

6929
05:33:59,380 --> 05:34:01,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa amin, 3 billion, mas mabilis namin,

6930
05:34:01,440 --> 05:34:02,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: makaka-respond.

6931
05:34:03,180 --> 05:34:05,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi kung 1.2 billion yan, we have

6932
05:34:05,400 --> 05:34:07,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to use 50% before we

6933
05:34:07,240 --> 05:34:09,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: reimburse, so may administrative processing

6934
05:34:09,340 --> 05:34:11,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: time. Mabilis naman yung processing

6935
05:34:11,480 --> 05:34:13,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: time, 3 days, 5 days under

6936
05:34:13,360 --> 05:34:15,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Secretary Kim, walang 1 week, pero

6937
05:34:15,260 --> 05:34:17,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: syempre, time is of the essence.

6938
05:34:17,400 --> 05:34:19,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If we had 3 billion to use kaagad,

6939
05:34:19,520 --> 05:34:21,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: malaki ho yun. So, I wanted to

6940
05:34:21,280 --> 05:34:23,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: point out na hopefully during your Barsi

6941
05:34:23,180 --> 05:34:25,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: discussion, walang added cost to government.

6942
05:34:26,260 --> 05:34:27,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nandiyan ho yung standby

6943
05:34:27,360 --> 05:34:29,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: QRF, lalakihan lang yung

6944
05:34:29,220 --> 05:34:31,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: advance na nasa DSWD.

6945
05:34:31,440 --> 05:34:33,220

05:34:48,880 --> 05:34:51,540

6960
05:35:01,440 --> 05:35:03,160

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa mga LGU or mga victims.

6964
05:35:09,660 --> 05:35:11,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's one. Number two, Mr. Chair,

6965
05:35:11,340 --> 05:35:13,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: when it comes to the repacking center in

05:35:13,120 --> 05:35:15,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Butuan City, we are now

6967
05:35:15,200 --> 05:35:17,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: just waiting for one more piece of document

6968
05:35:17,460 --> 05:35:19,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: which is the ECC, if I'm

6969
05:35:19,300 --> 05:35:21,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: not mistaken. ECC, di ba?

6970
05:35:22,180 --> 05:35:23,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yun ang wawala sa MDRC.

6971
05:35:23,980 --> 05:35:25,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's just the ECC.

6972
05:35:26,420 --> 05:35:27,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sorry, it's the DPWH

6973
05:35:27,660 --> 05:35:29,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: clearance na the plans

6974
05:35:29,240 --> 05:35:31,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: are all in place. Yun na lang po,

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Medyo mahaba ho yung proseso nun kasi

6979
05:35:39,360 --> 05:35:41,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: this is a new plan starting from

6980
05:35:41,340 --> 05:35:43,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: scratch. We had to get all the necessary

6981
05:35:43,100 --> 05:35:45,620

6982
05:35:45,620 --> 05:35:47,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: documentation which we should

6983
05:35:47,440 --> 05:35:49,340

05:36:59,520 --> 05:37:00,200
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Mr. Chair?

7021
05:37:00,200 --> 05:37:01,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman,

7022
05:37:01,440 --> 05:37:03,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a hundred and one percent. The more of

7023
05:37:03,420 --> 05:37:05,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: these repacking centers, the better.

7024
05:37:05,380 --> 05:37:07,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung mga disasters natin yun, mas mabagsik,

05:37:09,320 --> 05:37:11,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: As proven in our experience right now,

7027
05:37:11,480 --> 05:37:12,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung nasa Cebu natin is already

7028
05:37:12,900 --> 05:37:15,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: overstretched. It's catering to Visayas,

7029
05:37:15,880 --> 05:37:17,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sometimes nagagamit rin siya

7030
05:37:17,440 --> 05:37:19,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for Bicol, and it's also

7031
05:37:19,440 --> 05:37:21,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: catering to Mindanao. So,

7032
05:37:21,360 --> 05:37:23,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: given that Mindanao is a very big

7033
05:37:23,420 --> 05:37:25,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: vast expanse of land

7034
05:37:25,340 --> 05:37:26,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: with multiple LGUs inside,

7035
05:37:27,360 --> 05:37:29,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: more than one repacking center ang

7036
05:37:29,260 --> 05:37:31,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kailangan natin, over on top of what's being

7037
05:37:31,240 --> 05:37:33,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: built in Caraga, or what will be built

7038
05:37:33,360 --> 05:37:33,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in Caraga.

7039
05:37:34,460 --> 05:37:37,400
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Will the good Secretary be able to include

7040
05:37:37,400 --> 05:37:38,960
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: that in the request for

7041
05:37:38,960 --> 05:37:40,920
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Barsi, Mr. Chair? So,

7042
05:37:41,060 --> 05:37:42,740
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: I'll be able to work it out

7043
05:37:42,740 --> 05:37:45,400
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: with the Chairman on the Committee on Appropriation

7044
05:37:45,400 --> 05:37:47,220
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: and hopefully be able to discuss it

7045
05:37:47,220 --> 05:37:49,200
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: with the good Secretary of the House,

7046
05:37:49,340 --> 05:37:50,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Mr. Chair.

7047
05:37:50,100 --> 05:37:51,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Gladly, Mr. Chairman,

7048
05:37:51,340 --> 05:37:53,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we will make sure that it's part of the list

7049
05:37:53,020 --> 05:37:54,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that we will submit. Pahaba na ho

7050
05:37:54,920 --> 05:37:57,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng pahaba yung listahan namin, pero this one is

7051
05:37:57,080 --> 05:37:59,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a matter of life and death. Kaya, we'll put

7052
05:37:59,200 --> 05:38:00,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it on top of the list because,

7053
05:38:01,240 --> 05:38:02,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: importante ho 'to, as we are now seeing

7054
05:38:02,920 --> 05:38:05,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: gamit na gamit yung mga repacking center, we fully

7055
05:38:05,280 --> 05:38:07,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: support, we will put it on top of our list, Mr. Chairman.

7056
05:38:07,540 --> 05:38:09,660
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Mr. Chair, especially that the forecast

7057
05:38:09,660 --> 05:38:11,320
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: for Mindanao is a little bit

7058
05:38:11,320 --> 05:38:13,460
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: challenging for the months ahead

7059
05:38:13,460 --> 05:38:15,480
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: with the incoming El Nino.

7060
05:38:15,960 --> 05:38:17,320
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Kasi kayo dito, Mr. Chair,

7063
05:38:21,320 --> 05:38:23,220
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: katagal at kahaba yung baha

7064
05:38:23,220 --> 05:38:25,060
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: at ulan sa inyo, ganon din katagal

05:40:15,460 --> 05:40:16,240
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: representation

05:40:19,480 --> 05:40:21,000
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: proposed budget if

7121
05:40:21,000 --> 05:40:23,000
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: pwede nga po pa nataasan.

7122
05:40:23,440 --> 05:40:24,960
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: And we believe

7123
05:40:24,960 --> 05:40:27,460
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: your agency or your role really is

7124
05:40:27,460 --> 05:40:29,520
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: a vital lifeline to our struggling communities,

7125
05:40:29,940 --> 05:40:30,860
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: vulnerable children,

7126
05:40:31,700 --> 05:40:33,160
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: as everyone knows already,

7127
05:40:33,580 --> 05:40:35,240
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: marginalized sectors,

7128
05:40:36,140 --> 05:40:37,400
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: especially

7129
05:40:37,400 --> 05:40:39,060
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: disaster-affected communities.

7130
05:40:39,600 --> 05:40:42,140
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: And if isa rin po tayo

7131
05:40:42,140 --> 05:40:44,120
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: kung may erong chance

7132
05:40:44,120 --> 05:40:46,000
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: na maitaas ito, especially your

7133
05:40:46,000 --> 05:40:47,820
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: crisis interventions programs

7134
05:40:47,820 --> 05:40:49,960
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: for people in need of

7135
05:40:49,960 --> 05:40:52,160
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: assistances, maitaas po sana

7136
05:40:52,160 --> 05:40:53,440
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: ito for 2027.

7137
05:40:54,260 --> 05:40:56,000
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: And, but one

7138
05:40:56,000 --> 05:40:57,460
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: concern lang, I would say,

7139
05:40:57,720 --> 05:40:59,680
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: based on the cases that we encounter

7140
05:40:59,680 --> 05:41:01,920
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: sa aming mga distrito,

7141
05:41:02,560 --> 05:41:04,200
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: sa ilalim po ng DSWD

7142
05:41:04,200 --> 05:41:06,120
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: assistance programs, tama po

7143
05:41:06,120 --> 05:41:08,360
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: ba na ang maximum amount na maaaring

7144
05:41:08,360 --> 05:41:09,540
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: maibigay natin?

7145
05:41:09,600 --> 05:41:11,980
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: Sa isang beneficiary would amount

7146
05:41:11,980 --> 05:41:14,020
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: to how much po?

7147
05:41:14,080 --> 05:41:14,540
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: Yung maximum.

7148
05:41:15,040 --> 05:41:17,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For the cash relief assistance,

7149
05:41:17,420 --> 05:41:19,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it's limited to 10,000 pesos.

7150
05:41:19,640 --> 05:41:21,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Because beyond that, we feel that it's

7151
05:41:21,640 --> 05:41:23,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: better suited kung guarantee letter na po.

7152
05:41:24,260 --> 05:41:25,860
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: So 10,000 for cash.

7153
05:41:26,340 --> 05:41:27,880
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: Yes, and we understand that.

7154
05:41:27,900 --> 05:41:29,800
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: We understand that there must be safeguards

7155
05:41:29,800 --> 05:41:31,460
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: and limitations to ensure that

7156
05:41:31,460 --> 05:41:33,600
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: these funds are properly managed.

7157
05:41:34,720 --> 05:41:35,680
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: But I just want to share

7158
05:41:35,680 --> 05:41:37,740
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: a sentiment po and put it on

7159
05:41:37,740 --> 05:41:38,720
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: record because

7160
05:41:39,600 --> 05:41:41,540
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: may mga kaso po, as we all

7161
05:41:41,540 --> 05:41:43,360
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: know, of course, alam nyo, alam naman po

7162
05:41:43,360 --> 05:41:45,160
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: natin yung lahat na hindi talaga sapat ang

7163
05:41:45,160 --> 05:41:47,580
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: 10,000. For example, may mga pasyente

7164
05:41:47,580 --> 05:41:49,800
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: po, again, dapat katuwang

7165
05:41:49,800 --> 05:41:51,700
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: po talaga feel dito, DOH, etc.

7166
05:41:51,940 --> 05:41:53,700
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: But just to manifest, may mga

7167
05:41:53,700 --> 05:41:55,580
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: sumas-alilims, let's say, ng chemotherapy

7168
05:41:55,580 --> 05:41:57,620
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: na hindi talaga covered

7169
05:41:57,620 --> 05:41:59,000
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: ng expenses na ito,

7170
05:41:59,560 --> 05:42:01,560
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: na napakamahal ng treatment, or kaya naputulan

7171
05:42:01,560 --> 05:42:03,740
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: ng paa na yung bakal

7172
05:42:03,740 --> 05:42:05,460
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: sobrang pagkamahal-mahal, or yung

7173
05:42:05,460 --> 05:42:07,560
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: mga nawalan na nga mahal sa buhay

7174
05:42:07,560 --> 05:42:09,560
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: na kailangan iuwi for, and

7175
05:42:09,600 --> 05:42:10,460
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: would really need

7176
05:42:10,460 --> 05:42:13,420
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: transportation and

7177
05:42:13,420 --> 05:42:15,060
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: funeral-related expenses. Anyway,

7178
05:42:15,700 --> 05:42:17,740
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: so para po sa isang pamilya na walang-wala,

7179
05:42:17,920 --> 05:42:19,540
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: talagang napakalaking tulong po

7180
05:42:19,540 --> 05:42:21,620
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: ng 10,000. But also,

7181
05:42:21,820 --> 05:42:23,560
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: I would just say that it's

7182
05:42:23,560 --> 05:42:25,700
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: really a fraction talaga

7183
05:42:25,700 --> 05:42:27,060
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: of what they actually need.

7184
05:42:27,380 --> 05:42:29,260
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: Especially now, meron din po

7185
05:42:29,260 --> 05:42:31,480
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: tayong program, or hindi man tayong program,

7186
05:42:31,880 --> 05:42:33,260
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: meron pong ongoing

7187
05:42:33,260 --> 05:42:35,680
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: initiative na lahat ng mga bata

7188
05:42:35,680 --> 05:42:37,440
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: na may conditions,

7189
05:42:37,940 --> 05:42:39,440
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: especially PWDs,

7190
05:42:39,600 --> 05:42:40,380
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: keys na bata.

7191
05:42:41,140 --> 05:42:43,660
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: Again, malaking tulong po, but again,

7192
05:42:43,800 --> 05:42:45,620
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: I would respectfully just

7193
05:42:45,620 --> 05:42:47,820
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: suggest that maybe we could study the possibility

7194
05:42:47,820 --> 05:42:49,560
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: of having a graduated or

7195
05:42:49,560 --> 05:42:51,420
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: case-based assistance ceiling

7196
05:42:51,420 --> 05:42:53,820
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: where the amount may go beyond

7197
05:42:53,820 --> 05:42:55,580
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: these amount

7198
05:42:55,580 --> 05:42:57,680
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: for exceptional cases. And of

7199
05:42:57,680 --> 05:42:59,660
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: course, subject to proper

7200
05:42:59,660 --> 05:43:01,080
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: assessment, documentation,

7201
05:43:01,720 --> 05:43:03,560
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: and safeguards, because there are

7202
05:43:03,560 --> 05:43:05,920
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: these cases,

7203
05:43:06,140 --> 05:43:07,660
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: and maybe we can have a mechanism

7204
05:43:07,660 --> 05:43:09,420
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: na if life-threatening

7205
05:43:09,600 --> 05:43:11,500
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: illnesses, again, in partnership

7206
05:43:11,500 --> 05:43:13,820
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: with DOH, or major surgical

7207
05:43:13,820 --> 05:43:15,540
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: procedures, or prolonged

7208
05:43:15,540 --> 05:43:16,740
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: hospitalization,

7209
05:43:17,520 --> 05:43:19,860
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: can maybe justify it for certain

7210
05:43:19,860 --> 05:43:21,380
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: circumstances. But it's just really

7211
05:43:21,380 --> 05:43:24,100
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: maybe a possibility,

7212
05:43:24,540 --> 05:43:25,760
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: and I do

7213
05:43:25,760 --> 05:43:27,220
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: believe na you're doing

7214
05:43:27,220 --> 05:43:29,580
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: the best that you can.

7215
05:43:29,700 --> 05:43:31,000
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: At alam na alam po ninyo to.

7216
05:43:31,340 --> 05:43:33,660
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: But I just want to also share the

7217
05:43:33,660 --> 05:43:35,580
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: sentiments of the people from my district.

7218
05:43:35,960 --> 05:43:37,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, if I can

7219
05:43:37,640 --> 05:43:38,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: just clarify again,

7220
05:43:39,600 --> 05:43:41,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung cash relief assistance ang may limit

7221
05:43:41,640 --> 05:43:43,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na medyo mababa, 10,000, because

7222
05:43:43,720 --> 05:43:45,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the context there is

7223
05:43:45,440 --> 05:43:47,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we're scared also of being

7224
05:43:47,540 --> 05:43:49,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: giving cash na ang lalaki

7225
05:43:49,620 --> 05:43:50,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na amount sa isang recipient.

7226
05:43:51,420 --> 05:43:53,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But we have thousands of service

7227
05:43:53,620 --> 05:43:55,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: providers, at pag medical

7228
05:43:55,700 --> 05:43:57,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na po, tulad ng mga binanggit ni

7229
05:43:57,280 --> 05:43:58,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ating Congresswoman,

7230
05:43:59,260 --> 05:44:01,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: chemo, dialysis

7231
05:44:01,580 --> 05:44:03,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na hindi covered sa PhilHealth,

7232
05:44:03,600 --> 05:44:05,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: bakal sa ortho cases,

7233
05:44:06,000 --> 05:44:07,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: umabot na nga po tayo sa kidney

7234
05:44:07,400 --> 05:44:09,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: transplants, guaranteed

7235
05:44:09,600 --> 05:44:11,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: letter na ho. We have thousands.

7236
05:44:11,640 --> 05:44:13,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I'm proud to say we have more service

7237
05:44:13,600 --> 05:44:15,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: providers than DOH,

7238
05:44:15,480 --> 05:44:17,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and we convert that to a needs-based

7239
05:44:17,500 --> 05:44:19,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: guarantee letter system, where

7240
05:44:19,580 --> 05:44:21,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: our social workers will assess

7241
05:44:21,460 --> 05:44:23,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: based on the quotation, the

7242
05:44:23,500 --> 05:44:25,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: cost estimate, and the billing,

7243
05:44:25,440 --> 05:44:27,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and the life circumstance of that person.

7244
05:44:28,160 --> 05:44:29,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So lumalagpas po tayo sa

7245
05:44:29,480 --> 05:44:31,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 10,000. Our guarantee letters

7246
05:44:31,720 --> 05:44:33,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: go all the way up to close to

7247
05:44:33,520 --> 05:44:35,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a million with the right signing

7248
05:44:35,180 --> 05:44:37,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: authority. In that case, ako na po

7249
05:44:37,600 --> 05:44:39,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yun, umaakit na sa akin. So we're

7250
05:44:39,440 --> 05:44:41,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: not constrained with the 10,000 for

7251
05:44:41,460 --> 05:44:43,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: medical or burial needs. We actually

7252
05:44:43,640 --> 05:44:45,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: use bigger amounts

7253
05:44:45,560 --> 05:44:47,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but in a guarantee letter format.

7254
05:44:47,640 --> 05:44:49,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And a lot of those medical conditions

7255
05:44:49,580 --> 05:44:51,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that you mentioned are actually

7256
05:44:51,420 --> 05:44:53,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: catered

7257
05:44:53,940 --> 05:44:55,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or serviced by our

7258
05:44:55,260 --> 05:44:56,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: service providers.

7259
05:44:57,060 --> 05:44:58,960
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: Thank you for that clarification,

7260
05:44:59,420 --> 05:44:59,620
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: Sec.

7261
05:45:00,000 --> 05:45:09,740
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: And again, this is a good opportunity, especially for my district, to discover that there's a program.

7262
05:45:10,060 --> 05:45:20,360
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: But yeah, definitely, especially with hospitalization, we can use the referral letter system.

7263
05:45:20,620 --> 05:45:21,500
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: Or maybe we can refer.

7264
05:45:21,680 --> 05:45:23,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Guarantee letter, and you can refer to us.

7265
05:45:23,440 --> 05:45:29,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: In fact, Mr. Chairman, mapapagalitan ulit natin 'yung si RD Barry dahil hindi ho kayo ini-inform sa list of services ng departamento.

7266
05:45:30,000 --> 05:45:34,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So plus-minus siya. Binati siya, pero minus siya ngayon, so zero siya ulit.

7267
05:45:35,080 --> 05:45:38,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, R.D. Barry, who is behind me, should go visit the Congresswoman.

7268
05:45:38,660 --> 05:45:44,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Explain the menu of services that we have so that we can address your constituents' needs in a more adequate manner.

7269
05:45:45,160 --> 05:45:45,560
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: Thank you.

7270
05:45:45,660 --> 05:45:52,520
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: Pero bawi po ako, the staff, social workers on our province, hands down, they're the best.

7271
05:45:52,520 --> 05:45:53,620
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: Wala po akong masabi.

7272
05:45:53,880 --> 05:45:54,780
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: And very efficient.

7273
05:45:55,280 --> 05:45:59,900
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: And I would just like to say that during the oil crisis, in the midst of these really,

7274
05:46:00,000 --> 05:46:07,060
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: really hard times, ang lahat po ng mga riders natin, jeepney drivers, farmers, natulungan po natin lahat.

7275
05:46:07,060 --> 05:46:16,300
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: So again, if kaya po natin taasan pa ang budget, isa po tayo sa susuporta at magsusulong nito.

7276
05:46:16,300 --> 05:46:18,800
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: Maraming salamat, Secretary, and to the DSWD family.

7277
05:46:18,800 --> 05:46:19,760
Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez: Maraming salamat, Chairman.

7278
05:46:19,760 --> 05:46:20,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you very much, Congresswoman.

7279
05:46:23,980 --> 05:46:25,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you, Congressman Rich.

7280
05:46:26,280 --> 05:46:31,280

7282
05:46:36,240 --> 05:46:37,500
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Actually, wala naman ako itatanong.

7283
05:46:38,320 --> 05:46:46,240
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Nandito lang ako po to vocally support the budget of the DSWD family.

7284
05:46:47,260 --> 05:46:49,040
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: I've been watching the hearing.

7285
05:46:49,840 --> 05:46:53,580
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Medyo late ako. I was looking at my iPad on my way here.

7286
05:46:54,500 --> 05:46:59,000
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Siguro, I've been here for nine years before. I've come back in.

7287
05:46:59,660 --> 05:47:01,260
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So, I've never seen so many.

7288
05:47:01,280 --> 05:47:08,560
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Commendations, compliments, and praises to one department.

7289
05:47:08,560 --> 05:47:11,040
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Again, congratulations to the SWD.

7290
05:47:11,040 --> 05:47:16,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So, if that's all, res ipsa locator.

7291
05:47:16,320 --> 05:47:19,040
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: The thing speaks for your performance.

7292
05:47:19,040 --> 05:47:20,640
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Congratulations, the SWD.

7293
05:47:20,640 --> 05:47:26,960
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So, hindi na nga res ipsa. Gagawin ko lang rex ipsa loquitur.

7294
05:47:26,960 --> 05:47:28,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So,

7295
05:47:28,320 --> 05:47:30,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: I've witnessed

7296
05:47:30,320 --> 05:47:30,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: this

7297
05:47:30,880 --> 05:47:31,280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: personally.

7298
05:47:31,280 --> 05:47:36,280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Tinamaan yung South Cotabato and GenSan ng earthquake.

7299
05:47:36,280 --> 05:47:43,280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Hindi lang 'yan. Hindi lang naman sa region ko. Siyempre, nandito rin yung regional director ko siguro.

7300
05:47:43,280 --> 05:47:48,280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Si Regional Director Cabaya and DSWD family.

7301
05:47:48,280 --> 05:47:56,280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Masyado pong proactive, very responsive, and very accessible.

7302
05:47:56,280 --> 05:47:58,280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So, from the time it happened.

7303
05:47:58,280 --> 05:48:00,280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: And then,

7304
05:48:00,280 --> 05:48:00,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: nung natapos na,

7305
05:48:00,880 --> 05:48:01,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: binabalikan pa.

7306
05:48:01,880 --> 05:48:03,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Makikita mo si Sec Rex,

7307
05:48:03,880 --> 05:48:05,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: pag tinatawagan ko,

7308
05:48:05,880 --> 05:48:07,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: nandun na naman siya sa area.

7309
05:48:07,880 --> 05:48:09,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: And even during the baha.

7310
05:48:09,880 --> 05:48:13,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Because I monitor the areas of different congressmen.

7311
05:48:13,880 --> 05:48:19,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Pag binabaha, parati kong bilin muna bago ko yung support ng Congress,

7312
05:48:19,880 --> 05:48:21,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: tawagin n'yo DSWD,

7313
05:48:21,880 --> 05:48:23,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: humihingi ng support.

7314
05:48:23,880 --> 05:48:25,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Sabi, hindi, nandito na lahat yung support.

7315
05:48:25,880 --> 05:48:28,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Dati, ilan-ilan lang yung mahihingi mo.

7316
05:48:28,880 --> 05:48:29,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Ngayon, siyempre,

7317
05:48:29,880 --> 05:48:35,460
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: na-amaze ka sa isang munisipyo, may 20,000, may 30,000. Di ba?

7318
05:48:35,700 --> 05:48:41,200
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Kaya hindi ako magtataka, lahat ng congressman dito,

7319
05:48:41,780 --> 05:48:44,180
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: puro pasalamat, puro support sa budget ng DSWD.

7320
05:48:44,180 --> 05:48:49,450
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So again, very dynamic, right?

7321
05:48:49,710 --> 05:48:55,470
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: The way you deploy your resources, the way you implement your programs,

7322
05:48:55,470 --> 05:49:00,610
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: and the way you answer to different programs that are very interesting,

7323
05:49:01,210 --> 05:49:13,250
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: from SLP, Kalahi, he really knows on the tip of his finger all the details of all his programs.

7324
05:49:13,250 --> 05:49:24,310
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So again, I'm here to support the ASWD, continue your good and excellent performance,

7325
05:49:24,550 --> 05:49:25,250
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: and thank you.

7326
05:49:25,470 --> 05:49:26,650
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Marami kayo natulungan.

7327
05:49:27,390 --> 05:49:30,610
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Kayo ang unang tinatawagan pag nangangailangan.

7328
05:49:31,030 --> 05:49:38,710
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: And wala akong narinig na there was a failure on the quick response from the ASWD.

7329
05:49:38,710 --> 05:49:42,910
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Again, Secrex and the ASWD family, and it's a touch agency.

7330
05:49:43,070 --> 05:49:43,510
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Congratulations.

7331
05:49:43,990 --> 05:49:48,890
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: I'm only here to support your budget and for possible increase of your budget.

7332
05:49:49,150 --> 05:49:49,830
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

7333
05:49:50,310 --> 05:49:51,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you, SDS Dinan.

7334
05:49:51,850 --> 05:49:52,390
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Thank you, Chairman.

7335
05:49:53,670 --> 05:49:55,450
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you very much, SDS Dinan.

7336
05:49:55,470 --> 05:50:06,590
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We now recognize Congressman Edwin Cruzado, after which we will have a temporary suspension for a few minutes.

7337
05:50:06,990 --> 05:50:13,350
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: Mr. Chair, Honorable Secretary Gazzalian, thank you.

7338
05:50:14,470 --> 05:50:18,870
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: I'd like to reiterate my support sa budget ng ASWD.

7339
05:50:19,970 --> 05:50:23,210
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: I'd like to reiterate your good performance.

7340
05:50:23,210 --> 05:50:24,210
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: Thank you.

7341
05:50:25,470 --> 05:50:34,470
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: I'd like to reiterate your quick response to the earthquake, to the flooding, with our very active Regional Director Cabaya.

7342
05:50:35,530 --> 05:50:39,330
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: And marami na rin kami natulungan through the ASWD.

7343
05:50:39,770 --> 05:50:48,090
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: May isang tanong lang po ako, Secretary, yung sinasabi mo na beyond what is 10,000, yung GL, sa hospital.

7344
05:50:48,370 --> 05:50:49,550
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: How can we do that?

7345
05:50:49,550 --> 05:50:55,450
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: For example, mayroong pangangailangan na hindi na

7346
05:50:55,470 --> 05:51:00,170
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: makaya ng MAIP namin and very kailangan talagang tulungan.

7347
05:51:01,050 --> 05:51:04,150
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: Tapos, how can we refer that to the DSWD?

7348
05:51:04,530 --> 05:51:07,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, the good congressman is correct.

7349
05:51:07,430 --> 05:51:11,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's normally used together with the MAIP kasi hindi naman nasasagot lahat ng MAIP.

7350
05:51:11,790 --> 05:51:11,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Okay.

7351
05:51:12,510 --> 05:51:19,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, it's as simple as you referring the client to any of our office or satellite office in North Cotabato.

7352
05:51:19,390 --> 05:51:23,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We will never turn down anybody na pumunta sa pintuan ng DSWD.

7353
05:51:23,250 --> 05:51:24,990
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Our social workers will assess.

7354
05:51:25,470 --> 05:51:30,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then, issue out the guarantee letter doon sa service provider that they need.

7355
05:51:31,190 --> 05:51:36,870
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We have hundreds and hundreds or thousands of service provider ranging from drug stores

7356
05:51:36,870 --> 05:51:41,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: all the way to orthopedic supplies and burial services also.

7357
05:51:41,650 --> 05:51:46,170
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, sa regional office namin yan pinaprocess or any of our satellite office.

7358
05:51:46,390 --> 05:51:46,890
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: Okay.

7359
05:51:46,890 --> 05:51:55,010
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: Mr. Secretary, for example, if the patient is doon sila napunta sa region 11, SPMC.

7360
05:51:55,010 --> 05:52:02,050
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: PMC, pero resident sila ng aming distrito, where will we refer?

7361
05:52:02,450 --> 05:52:07,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sa region po where they are confined, kasi napakahirap naman ho na babalik pa siya sa

7362
05:52:07,310 --> 05:52:08,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: home region niya.

7363
05:52:08,350 --> 05:52:12,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: This happens all the time, lalo-lalo na sa Davao region, sa Cebu region.

7364
05:52:12,870 --> 05:52:16,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Our officers will never look or discriminate kung saan ka galing.

7365
05:52:17,010 --> 05:52:19,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang importante sa amin yung crisis at yung pangangailangan.

7366
05:52:19,730 --> 05:52:26,370
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: Thank you, Sir Secretary, and again, congratulations to the SWD family.

7367
05:52:27,110 --> 05:52:28,410
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: Ang laki ng naitulong niyo.

7368
05:52:29,230 --> 05:52:37,590
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: The performance is excellent, and we will support your budget, and even if you ask for

7369
05:52:37,590 --> 05:52:39,110
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: more, then we will also support that.

7370
05:52:39,430 --> 05:52:40,350
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: Thank you very much.

7371
05:52:40,830 --> 05:52:41,310
Rep. Edwin Cruzado: Thank you, Chairman.

7372
05:52:41,470 --> 05:52:42,890
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you, Congressman Cruzado.

7373
05:52:56,480 --> 05:52:59,360
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you so much, Congressman Cruzado.

7374
05:52:59,510 --> 05:53:04,390
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So we will be suspending for a few minutes.

7375
05:53:05,230 --> 05:53:14,670
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Maybe that would be, we'll have enough time for you to have a break while we'll try to

7376
05:53:14,670 --> 05:53:23,510
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: do something here, and it's very tempting to terminate it earlier, but we have to wait

7377
05:53:23,510 --> 05:53:31,270
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for the chair, and we have members who [unclear] for a second round.

7378
05:53:34,700 --> 05:53:38,710
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Yeah.

7379
05:53:38,770 --> 05:53:41,050
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We'll be suspending for a few minutes.

7380
06:39:20,880 --> 06:39:30,510
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Is now resumed. We recognize Congresswoman Sara Ilago for the second round.

7382
06:39:45,910 --> 06:39:53,530
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Chair, parehong bumaba ang pondo ng Council for the Welfare of Children at ng Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council.

7383
06:39:54,330 --> 06:39:56,670
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ano ang dahilan ng mga budget cuts na ito?

7384
06:39:56,670 --> 06:40:09,050
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Napakahalaga nito, Mr. Chair, lalo na sa panahon ngayon na maraming mga issue at umuusbong pa na mga concerns na may kinalaman sa interes at kapakanan ng mga batang Pilipino.

7385
06:40:09,590 --> 06:40:19,950
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, I'll let the two Executive Directors who are with us right now, para hindi naman husayang yung gasolina nila sa pagpunta dito, sila na ho magpapaliwanag para sa kanilang mga ahensya.

7388
06:40:26,670 --> 06:40:38,610
CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales: Mr. Chair, Madam Congressman, the bulk of the budget cut of the Council for the Welfare of Children, we are looking at around 60 plus million po.

7389
06:40:39,870 --> 06:40:49,790
CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales: More than half of that accounts for or pertains to ICT po, budget for ICT po, digitalization for our management information support unit.

7390
06:40:49,790 --> 06:40:56,610
CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales: Tapos yung mga natira po doon, Madam Chair, Mr. Chair, are funds for the operation.

7391
06:40:56,670 --> 06:41:15,870
CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales: We also have funds of the divisions and units of the Council for the Welfare of Children po, which includes our support for our regional staff, capacity building and technical assistance for LGUs, budget for the Child-Friendly Local Governance Audit, and the Presidential Award for Child-Friendly Municipalities and Cities po, among others, Mr. Chair.

7392
06:41:17,680 --> 06:41:26,560
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Chair, maraming maapektuhan na may kinalaman doon sa maagap na pagtitiyak na ang kanilang mga palisya, mga posisyon sa issue ay nakalapat.

7393
06:41:26,560 --> 06:41:30,740
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At saka kung ano ba yung tunay na sitwasyon ng mga batang Pilipino.

7394
06:41:31,780 --> 06:41:43,660
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kumpara doon sa fiscal year 2027, Nep, sa inyong original proposal bago ho ang DBM recommendation, magkano ho ang hinihingi ng CWC?

7395
06:41:44,260 --> 06:41:52,360
CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales: Mr. Chair, Madam Congresswoman, ang proposal po namin for 2027 ay 318,211,000.

7396
06:41:52,940 --> 06:41:55,660
CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales: At ang NEP for fiscal year 2027...

7397
06:41:56,560 --> 06:42:08,660
CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales: ... ay 148,999. Kasama na po dyan yung RLIP po, hindi lang po yung PS, MOOE, and Capital Outlay. Yan na po yung lahat.

7398
06:42:08,820 --> 06:42:19,520
CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales: So we're talking of malaki po ang bawas po talaga. So we practically went back to 2023 levels po, Mr. Chair.

7399
06:42:19,980 --> 06:42:30,640
JJWC Executive Director Tricia Claire Oco: Mr. Chair, for the JJWC, we also have our budget lowered.

7400
06:42:31,840 --> 06:42:46,080
JJWC Executive Director Tricia Claire Oco: Ito naman kasing laki nung sa CWC. Basically, yung decrease namin is doon sa aming ICT requirements, proposed ICT requirements, amounting to 6.289 million.

7401
06:42:46,080 --> 06:42:59,060
JJWC Executive Director Tricia Claire Oco: So kasama po dito yung sa aming mga subscription. A lot of our ICT requirements, nakasama din po yung sweldo ng iba naming mga COS personnel focusing on our management information system.

7402
06:42:59,260 --> 06:43:01,500
JJWC Executive Director Tricia Claire Oco: So nire-request rin namin na sana maibalik siya.

7403
06:43:01,840 --> 06:43:16,220
JJWC Executive Director Tricia Claire Oco: Kasi isa sa mandate namin ay we have to have a management information system sa buong bansa para na-trace namin doon yung mga children at risk and children in conflict with the law.

7404
06:43:16,220 --> 06:43:26,480
JJWC Executive Director Tricia Claire Oco: And one of them is to establish a longitudinal study kung ano yung patterns ng behavior ng mga bata, lalong-lalo na yung ating mga CICL.

7405
06:43:27,360 --> 06:43:31,220
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Chair, hingin natin yung components ng...

7406
06:43:31,840 --> 06:43:39,240
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: original proposal ng JJWC at ng CWC at yung mga maapektuhan na programa dulot ng budget cuts.

7407
06:43:39,240 --> 06:43:47,240
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang ngayon naman po, may pagtaas para sa National Authority for Child Care. Maari hong maipaliwanag ang pagtaas na ito.

7408
06:43:47,860 --> 06:44:01,000
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nasa 200 plus million po ang pagtaas para sa susunod na taon. At nagagalak naman po tayo na masusuportahan ng mas mataas na pondo ang mahalagang agencies at supervised entities na ito.

7409
06:44:06,770 --> 06:44:18,010
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sir, Chair, the Executive Director of the NACC is also here. But in a nutshell, yun ho ay karagdagang plantilla positions na na-create. So that's why doon ho mapupunta yung pagdagdag.

7410
06:44:18,290 --> 06:44:23,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But unless the Executive Director wants to expound kung ba't may dagdag tayong mga plantilla positions.

7411
06:44:23,450 --> 06:44:38,850
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: Good afternoon po. Actually tulad nga ng sinabi ni Secrex, yung pagtaas ng budget namin ay para lang bayaran yung mga additional plantilla positions that were given.

7412
06:44:39,170 --> 06:44:54,390
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: It was given to the NACC in the last year. So in effect, parang wala naman talagang in-increase in terms of administering the different projects and sana mga capacity building for our social workers and the different regional offices.

7413
06:44:54,390 --> 06:44:59,990
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: So meron din sana kaming wish list. Pero yun, at the very least, earlier.

7414
06:45:00,000 --> 06:45:02,180
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: nga I stated, at the very least

7415
06:45:02,180 --> 06:45:03,980
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: we also need a certain amount of money

7416
06:45:03,980 --> 06:45:06,140
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: to pay for certain social workers

7417
06:45:06,140 --> 06:45:07,760
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: that were employed this year

7418
06:45:07,760 --> 06:45:09,960
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: pero yung nag-grant under the NEP

7419
06:45:09,960 --> 06:45:11,880
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: is just sufficient, is not even

7420
06:45:11,880 --> 06:45:13,780
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: sufficient to pay for them.

7421
06:45:13,980 --> 06:45:15,860
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: So, at the very least, yun po yung

7422
06:45:15,860 --> 06:45:18,080
NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: hinihingi namin para mabayaran

7423

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion: yung social workers who are already currently

7424

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: pwedeng magpaliwanag ang DBM?

7517
06:48:26,080 --> 06:48:27,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi lang ho, CWC,

7518
06:48:27,780 --> 06:48:29,860
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: JJWC ang nag-raise nung concerns

7519
06:48:29,860 --> 06:48:31,860
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: sa mga cuts pagdating sa

7520
06:48:31,860 --> 06:48:33,280
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ICT-related

7521
06:48:33,280 --> 06:48:35,820
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: at na programs

7522
06:48:35,820 --> 06:48:37,840
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: at mga digitalization steps nila.

7523
06:48:38,560 --> 06:48:39,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ano ang paliwanag kung bakit?

7524
06:48:39,900 --> 06:48:41,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, hindi man ho ako

7525
06:48:41,700 --> 06:48:43,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: taga DBM, pero dahil active ho

7526
06:48:43,740 --> 06:48:45,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kami sa pagpunta at pag-follow-up.

7527
06:48:47,540 --> 06:48:48,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Admittedly,

7528
06:48:48,420 --> 06:48:49,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the procurement process of

7529
06:48:49,700 --> 06:48:51,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: IT-related equipment is very

7530
06:48:51,620 --> 06:48:53,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: complicated. Manadalas ho,

7531
06:48:54,020 --> 06:48:55,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nagmamarket scan, mababa yung

7532
06:48:55,620 --> 06:48:57,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: presyo na ipopost namin, mag-fail.

7533
06:48:57,780 --> 06:48:59,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, I believe, dun sa

7534
06:48:59,780 --> 06:49:01,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kanilang pag-analisa, binalik lang nila

7535
06:49:01,800 --> 06:49:03,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa amin, actually, hindi nga pag-analisa

7536
06:49:03,820 --> 06:49:05,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kung sinabi na sa amin, yung mga

7537
06:49:05,360 --> 06:49:07,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sure-shot items, subscriptions,

7538
06:49:08,460 --> 06:49:09,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung mga alam nila

7539
06:49:09,600 --> 06:49:11,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kaya namin i-procure. And then,

7540
06:49:12,080 --> 06:49:13,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: furthermore, I think the

7541
06:49:13,580 --> 06:49:15,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: national government through DICT is

7542
06:49:15,540 --> 06:49:17,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: embarking on a streamlining. Kasi

7543
06:49:17,680 --> 06:49:19,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa pagkakaunawa ko

7544
06:49:19,800 --> 06:49:21,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: in the last BICAM, lumabas

7545
06:49:21,920 --> 06:49:23,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ho doon yung cut. Doon

7546
06:49:23,680 --> 06:49:25,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: naman ho nangyari yung cut, hindi

7547
06:49:25,540 --> 06:49:27,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: naman ho sa DBM.

7548
06:49:27,520 --> 06:49:29,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi nga nakita nila na in some

7549
06:49:29,640 --> 06:49:31,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: departments, hindi ho kami, hindi

7550
06:49:31,640 --> 06:49:33,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: siya nagtuturo ako, kung hindi, napakahirap

7551
06:49:33,980 --> 06:49:35,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nung procurement process. Lagi

7552
06:49:35,560 --> 06:49:37,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nag-fail, kaya ang laki nung underutilized.

7553
06:49:38,560 --> 06:49:39,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, from my understanding,

7554
06:49:39,560 --> 06:49:41,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: binawasan lang nila yun para maobligay mga

7555
06:49:41,400 --> 06:49:43,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: departamento to efficiently use

7556
06:49:43,360 --> 06:49:45,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: their ICT budgets.

7557
06:49:45,640 --> 06:49:47,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Lalong-lalo na pagdating doon sa mga alam naman

7558
06:49:47,560 --> 06:49:49,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: namin, kaya at esensyal

7559
06:49:49,520 --> 06:49:50,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: i-procure, like subscriptions,

7560
06:49:51,660 --> 06:49:53,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: firewall for cyber security,

7561
06:49:53,940 --> 06:49:54,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: email subscriptions,

7562
06:49:55,320 --> 06:49:56,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yan ho yung mga inuna nila.

7571
06:50:13,480 --> 06:50:15,780

7822
06:58:58,280 --> 06:59:00,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: goes under stress. Hindi naman

7823
06:59:00,180 --> 06:59:02,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nasasabi natin na ang stressful lang yung

7824
06:59:02,420 --> 06:59:04,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung mismong drug dependent,

7825
06:59:04,340 --> 06:59:06,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kundi yung buong pamilya. So, this is

7826
06:59:06,220 --> 06:59:08,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a family intervention

7827
06:59:08,060 --> 06:59:09,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to help the family cope.

7828
06:59:10,140 --> 06:59:12,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sa ngayon, maliit lang ho yung budget niya.

7829
06:59:12,460 --> 06:59:14,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nang 2026,

7830
06:59:14,280 --> 06:59:16,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it's at 900,000,

7831
06:59:17,240 --> 06:59:18,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: close to a million

7832
06:59:18,420 --> 06:59:20,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for the pilot. Maliit lamang yung pilot.

7833
06:59:20,940 --> 06:59:22,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But for 2027,

7834
06:59:22,980 --> 06:59:25,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: it's now at 8.6

7835
06:59:25,000 --> 06:59:25,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: million pesos.

7836
06:59:27,580 --> 06:59:28,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: By the way, Mr. Chair,

7837
06:59:29,140 --> 06:59:30,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ano kami ho dito? Collaborating

7838
06:59:30,720 --> 06:59:32,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: partner lang kami ng Dangerous Drug Board.

7839
06:59:33,460 --> 06:59:34,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sa kanila talaga yung

7840
06:59:34,420 --> 06:59:36,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: heavy lifting. Kami pumapasok lang kami

7841
06:59:36,640 --> 06:59:38,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi kami yung merong expertise on

7842
06:59:38,420 --> 06:59:39,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: psychosocial interventions,

7843
06:59:39,980 --> 06:59:41,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as well as family support,

7844
06:59:41,900 --> 06:59:43,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at yung design. Pero malamang,

7845
06:59:43,900 --> 06:59:46,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hindi malamang, I'm very confident

7846
06:59:46,360 --> 06:59:48,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na pag tinignan nyo yung Dangerous Drug Board,

7847
06:59:48,320 --> 06:59:50,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: this same program will appear at mas malaki

7848
06:59:50,300 --> 06:59:51,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung budget provision doon.

7849
06:59:51,880 --> 06:59:54,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah, okay. So, from

7850
06:59:54,200 --> 06:59:55,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: an initial pilot,

7851
06:59:56,480 --> 06:59:58,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: tapos ngayon, for 2027,

7852
06:59:59,140 --> 06:59:59,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 8 million

7853
07:00:00,000 --> 07:00:02,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 8 million, from 900,000 to 8 million?

7854
07:00:02,880 --> 07:00:06,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yes, to provide that family intervention in terms of emotional support

7855
07:00:06,940 --> 07:00:10,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para mapalaki pa natin, maparami po yung mga lugar na pinagsisilbihan.

7856
07:00:10,780 --> 07:00:11,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Thank you po.

7857
07:00:11,940 --> 07:00:16,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Next topic, haugnay po sa social pension beneficiaries.

7858
07:00:16,620 --> 07:00:20,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ito po yung under Republic Act 11916,

7859
07:00:21,020 --> 07:00:25,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 1,000 pesos monthly pension to qualified indigent senior citizens.

7860
07:00:26,360 --> 07:00:29,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: I think in your presentation kanina, correct me if I wrong,

7861
07:00:29,820 --> 07:00:34,540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: if I'm wrong, may pinakita kayong statistics,

7862
07:00:34,680 --> 07:00:40,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: something like 550,000 qualified indigent senior citizens

7863
07:00:40,700 --> 07:00:45,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pero hindi pa nakikinabang, hindi nakakatanggap nitong 1,000.

7864
07:00:45,060 --> 07:00:45,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So was that correct?

7865
07:00:46,640 --> 07:00:48,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Che, let me qualify that statement.

7866
07:00:48,400 --> 07:00:51,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung 550,000, yan ho yung natagpuan namin sa CBMS.

7867
07:00:52,460 --> 07:00:55,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero recently nga, alam namin na mas malaki pa yung numero.

7868
07:00:55,940 --> 07:00:57,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's almost double of what we're doing right now.

7869
07:00:57,980 --> 07:00:59,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero hindi namin sila mahanap sa CBMS.

7870
07:01:00,220 --> 07:01:01,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So tulad ng sinabi namin,

7871
07:01:01,800 --> 07:01:05,060
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nag-propose kami ng panibagong mekanismo sa PSA

7872
07:01:05,060 --> 07:01:08,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kung saan yung mga waitlist sa mga local government units,

7873
07:01:08,240 --> 07:01:09,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa mga OSCA offices nila,

7874
07:01:10,020 --> 07:01:12,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kinukuha namin, ipapasa namin sa PSA

7875
07:01:12,440 --> 07:01:14,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to tell them na wala sa CBMS

7876
07:01:14,400 --> 07:01:17,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero pakitignan, may birth registry ba ito?

7877
07:01:17,320 --> 07:01:18,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At wala pa sa death registry.

7878
07:01:19,220 --> 07:01:22,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kung susuma, total natin yun, it's almost double.

7879
07:01:22,380 --> 07:01:25,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi as mentioned nga, ang population ng senior citizen natin

7880
07:01:25,780 --> 07:01:28,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: nasa 11 million, pero ang nakikater lang namin yan

7881
07:01:28,820 --> 07:01:29,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is almost 5.

7882
07:01:29,820 --> 07:01:31,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 5 million or 5.5 million.

7883
07:01:32,040 --> 07:01:35,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung binanggit ko kanina na 550,000, yun lang yun na sa CBMS.

7884
07:01:36,300 --> 07:01:36,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

7885
07:01:38,680 --> 07:01:43,740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sa inyong tansya, 11 million ang qualified indigent senior citizens?

7886
07:01:45,040 --> 07:01:46,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Those are senior citizens.

7887
07:01:47,020 --> 07:01:49,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi pa namin namin sila naiisa-isa

7888
07:01:49,300 --> 07:01:51,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because we don't want to raise their hopes.

7889
07:01:51,540 --> 07:01:55,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But, nasa waitlist sila ng LGUs.

7890
07:01:55,300 --> 07:01:58,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So some type of validation or application has been launched already.

7891
07:01:58,840 --> 07:01:58,980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

7892
07:01:59,620 --> 07:02:00,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero, okay.

7893
07:02:01,100 --> 07:02:03,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung total universe, kumbaga, 11 million.

7894
07:02:03,940 --> 07:02:08,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tapos ang sinasabi nyo, ang nabibigyan pala ngayon ng 1,000, 5.5 million.

7895
07:02:09,000 --> 07:02:09,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Is that correct?

7896
07:02:10,920 --> 07:02:12,100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 4.2 million.

7897
07:02:12,200 --> 07:02:13,380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 4.2 million.

7898
07:02:13,520 --> 07:02:14,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So potentially,

7899
07:02:15,500 --> 07:02:16,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ilan yun?

7900
07:02:16,920 --> 07:02:18,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: It's almost double.

7901
07:02:19,440 --> 07:02:20,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: More than double.

7902
07:02:22,600 --> 07:02:23,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Almost double, you're correct.

7903
07:02:24,080 --> 07:02:24,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

7904
07:02:24,400 --> 07:02:29,380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, for 2027,

7905
07:02:31,100 --> 07:02:39,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ilan po ang target n'yong madagdag sa 4.5 million na kasalukuyang beneficiaries?

7906
07:02:43,400 --> 07:02:47,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And do you have the budget proposal for that?

7907
07:02:48,240 --> 07:02:51,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, it's part of the list that we intended to submit today,

7908
07:02:51,860 --> 07:02:54,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but we will edit because of the discussions this afternoon.

7909
07:02:54,920 --> 07:02:58,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 6.8 billion pa ho na karagdagan ang hinihingi natin

7910
07:02:58,400 --> 07:03:02,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to be able to cover the more than double na hindi nila sa service.

7911
07:03:02,720 --> 07:03:03,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, tina-target nyo?

7912
07:03:03,400 --> 07:03:03,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tina-target nyo?

7913
07:03:03,460 --> 07:03:06,180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tina-target nyo na maabot lahat for 2027,

7914
07:03:06,700 --> 07:03:10,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kaya meron kayong proposal for over 6 billion additional.

7915
07:03:11,100 --> 07:03:11,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That is correct.

7916
07:03:11,980 --> 07:03:12,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

7917
07:03:12,860 --> 07:03:13,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Masalamat po.

7918
07:03:13,580 --> 07:03:15,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And we will support that, of course.

7919
07:03:16,180 --> 07:03:20,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: If you will propose that as an institutional amendment.

7920
07:03:21,600 --> 07:03:21,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

7921
07:03:22,720 --> 07:03:23,920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung isang tanong na lang po,

7922
07:03:24,000 --> 07:03:28,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung kaugnay naman sa Expanded Centenarians Act.

7923
07:03:30,000 --> 07:03:31,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ayon dito,

7924
07:03:31,000 --> 07:03:36,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, upon reaching 80, 85, 90, 95 ng mga senior citizens,

7925
07:03:37,100 --> 07:03:39,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: they are entitled to a cash gift of 10,000.

7926
07:03:40,340 --> 07:03:40,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

7927
07:03:43,240 --> 07:03:47,760
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang tanong po, ang concern ay, siyempre,

7928
07:03:49,220 --> 07:03:50,720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kung matagal yung proseso minsan,

7929
07:03:50,820 --> 07:03:53,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: baka hindi na mapakinabangan ng mga senior citizens natin.

7930
07:03:53,960 --> 07:03:55,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ano po ang status ng implementation nito?

7931
07:03:55,960 --> 07:03:56,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So,

7932
07:03:56,160 --> 07:03:59,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Cheras earlier stated,

7933
07:04:00,100 --> 07:04:02,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I would yield the floor to the NCSC representative

7934
07:04:02,920 --> 07:04:04,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: dahil supervised agency sila.

7935
07:04:05,380 --> 07:04:09,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And in the letters na back and forth na binasa kanina ni Congresswoman Magsaysay,

7936
07:04:09,520 --> 07:04:12,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: they made it very clear that we are only to coordinate with them

7937
07:04:12,740 --> 07:04:14,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but not to interfere with their operations.

7938
07:04:15,540 --> 07:04:19,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, I would leave the answering to somebody who is more competent on the matter,

7939
07:04:20,400 --> 07:04:24,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: which is the NCSC Executive Director who is with us this afternoon.

7940
07:04:25,360 --> 07:04:26,080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sige po.

7941
07:04:26,160 --> 07:04:30,020
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Good afternoon po, Chair.

7942
07:04:30,480 --> 07:04:34,460
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: With the indulgence of our Secretary Rex, Rep. Tinio,

7943
07:04:34,820 --> 07:04:37,260
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: regarding the implementation of the ECA,

7944
07:04:37,880 --> 07:04:46,100
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: we have already served 179,000 senior citizens as of August.

7945
07:04:46,920 --> 07:04:54,560
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: And we have already utilized almost 2 billion of our 3.4 million budget.

7946
07:04:56,710 --> 07:04:57,510
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ilan po? 100?

7947
07:04:57,510 --> 07:04:58,470
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 100?

7948
07:04:59,170 --> 07:05:03,250
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: 179,000 na po mahigit ang ating nasa-serve na senior citizens.

7949
07:05:03,250 --> 07:05:04,350
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Anong time frame po niyan?

7950
07:05:04,730 --> 07:05:06,570
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung 179,000 na yan?

7951
07:05:06,590 --> 07:05:08,990
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: As of August po, 2026.

7952
07:05:09,190 --> 07:05:10,330
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Is it just for this year?

7953
07:05:10,650 --> 07:05:11,510
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: This fiscal year?

7954
07:05:12,050 --> 07:05:12,790
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung figure niyo?

7955
07:05:13,390 --> 07:05:14,250
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Yes, sir.

7956
07:05:14,690 --> 07:05:19,910
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Bale, ang target po for this year ay nasa 299,000 senior citizens.

7957
07:05:20,210 --> 07:05:20,330
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

7958
07:05:20,750 --> 07:05:20,990
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Opo.

7959
07:05:21,650 --> 07:05:22,690
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tapos, of that?

7960
07:05:23,010 --> 07:05:27,930
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Of that po, yung mga applications na na-process and nabigyan na po natin ay

7961
07:05:27,930 --> 07:05:28,890
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: 179,000.

7962
07:05:28,890 --> 07:05:29,150
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 179,000.

7963
07:05:29,170 --> 07:05:32,450
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, nabigyan sila ng 10,000?

7964
07:05:33,130 --> 07:05:36,850

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Gano'n po ba yun?

8020
07:07:57,830 --> 07:07:58,690

8021
07:07:58,710 --> 07:08:01,070
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: May iba pa bang source ang DBM?

8022
07:08:01,590 --> 07:08:09,150
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Kasi po, pag nag-apply, saka lang po kami makakahingi ng augmentation sa budget.

07:08:09,250 --> 07:08:10,170
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. Sige.

8024
07:08:10,670 --> 07:08:12,550
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yun na lang po ang tanong natin.

8025
07:08:12,570 --> 07:08:15,470
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, if I can just add for the information of Rep. Tinio.

8026
07:08:15,990 --> 07:08:17,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ulitin ko, ko-coordination po kami.

8027
07:08:17,930 --> 07:08:23,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At nung iniwan po namin yung programa, we have highly encouraged ang NCSC to work with PSA.

8028
07:08:23,230 --> 07:08:28,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi remember, may CDMS naman po na po-forecast natin in advance.

8029
07:08:28,430 --> 07:08:31,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sino ang mag-80, 85, 90, 95, 100.

8030
07:08:32,490 --> 07:08:34,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It doesn't have to be a by-application process.

8031
07:08:34,910 --> 07:08:38,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi I think, yung concern ho niyo, Congressman, doon na nga nga na ko,

8032
07:08:38,350 --> 07:08:40,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung nag-apply ako, nag-aantay ako.

8033
07:08:40,530 --> 07:08:44,330
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi minsan, mali yung, hindi pa mali, but mali yung projection.

8034
07:08:44,690 --> 07:08:47,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But it's not a rocket science po.

8035
07:08:47,150 --> 07:08:49,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The CDMS actually points us to the way.

8036
07:08:50,090 --> 07:08:54,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're now tallying it nga kasi may kopya ho kami niyan dahil nga sa social pension,

8037
07:08:54,710 --> 07:08:57,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ilan ang forecasted.

8038
07:08:57,190 --> 07:09:03,110
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But we can submit it to you and we will continue to encourage the NCSC to look at the paradigm

8039
07:09:03,110 --> 07:09:08,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na i-forecast na lang natin in advance para tama po yung mahingi na pera sa DBM

8040
07:09:08,270 --> 07:09:11,550
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at tayo na ho ang lalapit sa kanila kesa sila ang lalapit sa atin.

8041
07:09:13,250 --> 07:09:20,250
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Thank you po and we would appreciate yung may sasubmit na information ni Secretary Rex, Chair.

07:10:25,030 --> 07:10:25,750
Rep. Antonio "Tonypet" T. Albano: Ang inyong...

8058
07:10:27,190 --> 07:10:36,410
Rep. Antonio "Tonypet" T. Albano: Kawani sa gobyerno doon dahil ito po talaga nakikita namin ang pagtrabaho niya sa buong regyon ay kagalang-galang at napakagaling.

8059
07:10:37,390 --> 07:10:49,790
Rep. Antonio "Tonypet" T. Albano: At maraming salamat sa inyong serbisyo, Director Lucy, at sana po magkaroon pa ng mas madaming kagaya po niya dahil talaga truly deserving po siya.

8060
07:10:49,790 --> 07:11:09,770

8061
07:11:09,950 --> 07:11:19,000
Rep. Antonio "Tonypet" T. Albano: So full support po ako, bagamat gusto ko na ho i-terminate ito para makauwi kayo at magkaroon kayo ng trabaho. Karagdagan,

8062
07:11:19,000 --> 07:11:43,710

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you. Thank you, Congressman.

8067
07:12:20,390 --> 07:12:22,050
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: May we recognize?

8068
07:12:23,250 --> 07:12:26,110
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: SDS, D-9, D-9S.

8069
07:12:26,850 --> 07:12:38,410
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Sek, kung anong to, isang tanong lang. Yung tertiary education subsidy went through your portal, diba? That's about 400,000 students, scholars.

8070
07:12:41,580 --> 07:12:42,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: E-portal is with CHED, sir.

8071
07:12:43,280 --> 07:12:53,600
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Pero you submit to them a list. You submit them a list. Kasi maliit lang yung, hindi namin na-increase yung katilang allowance, no?

8072
07:12:53,600 --> 07:12:55,340
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: It used to be 60,000.

8073
07:12:55,360 --> 07:13:05,060
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Naging 30,000. So, it's like 15,000 per semester. As against before, 30,000 per semester.

8074
07:13:05,800 --> 07:13:17,560
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Ngayon, since it went through the portal naman, kayo nagbibigay nung name. In fact, marami rin nag-question na, like in my district, no?

8075
07:13:17,560 --> 07:13:22,980
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: City of Coronadal is the regional center. We have no state college.

8076
07:13:23,940 --> 07:13:25,280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So, lahat.

8077
07:13:25,280 --> 07:13:32,080
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: At nag-a-avail ng UniFAST TES. Kasi lahat ng private school nasa City of Koronadal.

8078
07:13:32,660 --> 07:13:42,580
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: And all, ngayon, ang bagong policy, kailangan na kukunin yung mga new beneficiaries sa portal ng DSWD.

8079
07:13:45,340 --> 07:13:49,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, yung portal nasa CHED, what we do is...

8080
07:13:49,140 --> 07:13:50,780
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Pero yung listahan, galing sa DSWD.

8081
07:13:50,780 --> 07:13:55,480
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Since time immemorial po, even before this new TES law, nagsasubmit kami ng list sa kanila.

8082
07:13:55,480 --> 07:14:00,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ng mga 4Ps na eligible na dahil pagkukulehyo na po.

8083
07:14:00,200 --> 07:14:02,180
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Kasi ngayon talagang in-implement na.

8084
07:14:02,400 --> 07:14:05,840
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Na talagang galing lang sa listahan ninyo.

8085
07:14:06,460 --> 07:14:19,620
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So, dahil hindi naman na-increase yung subsidy, ay yung allowance, is it possible na kung sino man yung mga nasa listahan, pwedeng maka-avail ng student assistance?

8086
07:14:20,860 --> 07:14:25,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Theoretically, Mr. Chair, yun ho sa pagkakaunawa namin yung essence ng bagong amendment.

8087
07:14:25,480 --> 07:14:32,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, yung eligibility requirement, yung sa TES lang ho, hindi yun sa amin.

8088
07:14:32,700 --> 07:14:35,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, meaning, lahat ng eligible, ipapadala namin sa kanila.

8089
07:14:36,460 --> 07:14:43,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Then, we'll tell our parents na punta na kayo sa State U, make sure mag-comply po kayo doon sa eligibility requirements nila.

8090
07:14:43,820 --> 07:14:54,400
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Hindi, walang problema doon. Pero what I'm saying, kung pasok na sila doon, gusto naming dagdagan, can we go through DSWD?

8091
07:14:54,400 --> 07:14:55,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yes, Mr. Chair.

8092
07:14:55,480 --> 07:14:58,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Kasi that's the only way na madagdagan yung...

8093
07:14:58,320 --> 07:14:59,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: By all means, Mr. Chair.

8094
07:15:00,000 --> 07:15:11,900
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Importante yun kasi at least kahit papano, we can find a way na madagdagan kahit konti yung kanilang subsidy.

8095
07:15:12,700 --> 07:15:16,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, nasa menu pa rin naman ng AICS yan, so pwede po.

8096
07:15:16,660 --> 07:15:25,260
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Okay. Yun lang, importante yun kasi at least alam ko, pwede ko na silang, pag nalista na sila, pwede pa ako magdagdag sa kanila.

8097
07:15:25,640 --> 07:15:26,380
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

8098
07:15:26,380 --> 07:15:32,140
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, SDS. We recognize kong Mila Magsaysay.

8099
07:15:33,420 --> 07:15:46,000
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Thank you, Mr. Chair. We did everything po na makreate itong NCSC, National Commission on Senior Citizens,

8100
07:15:46,660 --> 07:15:53,680
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: para po meron na talagang sariling komisyon ang mga senior citizens para maalagaan naman po sila ng mabuti.

8101
07:15:53,680 --> 07:15:53,780
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Okay.

8102
07:15:53,780 --> 07:15:59,040
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kasi ito na lang po, komisyon na ito, ang focus niya ay senior citizen.

8103
07:15:59,820 --> 07:16:03,300
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So ngayon po, nagkukulang talaga ang budget nila.

8104
07:16:03,900 --> 07:16:15,980
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kasi unang-una na sila, kasi hindi nabibigay agad-agad yung centenary yan, yung 80-85-90-95.

8105
07:16:15,980 --> 07:16:19,980
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: E ang ano naman po nito ay talaga naman pong underman sila.

8106
07:16:20,840 --> 07:16:22,380
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kulang po sila sa tao.

8107
07:16:22,700 --> 07:16:23,740
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: No, kulang pa sila.

8108
07:16:23,780 --> 07:16:24,780
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Sa mga empleyado.

8109
07:16:26,020 --> 07:16:32,780
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So kung pwede po, ay humihingi sila ng additional na magkaroon ng job order.

8110
07:16:33,340 --> 07:16:35,780
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Maski man lang po, two per province.

8111
07:16:37,020 --> 07:16:41,340
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Para po, kasi we have only regional offices now, 18.

8112
07:16:41,880 --> 07:16:45,780
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: 18 regions po, including Negros, 17.

8113
07:16:46,920 --> 07:16:48,660
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So 18 regions na po.

8114
07:16:48,660 --> 07:16:53,660
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So paano makaka-centenary yan?

8115
07:16:53,780 --> 07:16:57,940
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kung ilan lang po yung manpower nila.

8116
07:16:58,520 --> 07:17:02,780
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So ngayon, they're asking for additional job orders.

8117
07:17:02,940 --> 07:17:04,920
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Maski two per province man lang.

8118
07:17:05,380 --> 07:17:11,620
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Para efficiently, maano nila yung programs and projects na nasa sa kanila.

8119
07:17:12,620 --> 07:17:21,460
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: At saka itong ATOP, nung nandun sa DSWD, ay 7.5 million ang budget.

8120
07:17:21,460 --> 07:17:28,180
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kasi noon, ano lang, FESCAP lang ang organization.

8121
07:17:28,640 --> 07:17:31,680
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Ngayon, marami na pong senior citizens organization.

8122
07:17:32,500 --> 07:17:39,640
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So kailangan naman po, mas malaki pa po ang ibigay na budget para makatulong po sila sa mga organizations.

8123
07:17:40,300 --> 07:17:42,540
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So they're asking for 17 million.

8124
07:17:43,020 --> 07:17:45,880
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Now they're given only 3.3 million.

8125
07:17:45,880 --> 07:17:51,300
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Sa naman po, aabot ito sa dami ng mga senior citizens.

8126
07:17:51,300 --> 07:17:59,540
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So ito pa po, ano na po ito, batas na po itong digitalization.

8127
07:18:00,240 --> 07:18:06,340
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kasi nag-gagather po sila ng data and information ng mga senior citizens.

8128
07:18:07,080 --> 07:18:17,460
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So they were asking for 48 million para ma-digitalization ang NCSC.

8129
07:18:17,460 --> 07:18:21,120
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Pero zero po ang ibinigay sa kanila.

8130
07:18:21,300 --> 07:18:36,300
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: E batas na po ito na lahat po ng government agencies, government offices should be digitalized para maging digital po sila.

8131
07:18:36,480 --> 07:18:40,420
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So ito naman po, zero pong binigay.

8132
07:18:40,860 --> 07:18:42,300
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: They're asking for 48.

8133
07:18:42,300 --> 07:18:49,300
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Baka naman po pwede na po nating ibigay ito para lalo pong makagather po sila ng information

8134
07:18:49,300 --> 07:18:59,600
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: tungkol sa mga senior citizens para mas madali po ang pagbibigay ng mga benefits and privileges ng mga seniors.

8135
07:19:00,640 --> 07:19:02,500
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Ito naman po, livelihood.

8136
07:19:03,400 --> 07:19:06,860
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kailangan-kailangan po ng mga senior citizens ang livelihood.

8137
07:19:08,160 --> 07:19:10,260
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Humingi po sila ng 54 million.

8138
07:19:10,760 --> 07:19:12,600
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: 4 million lang po ang binigay.

8139
07:19:12,940 --> 07:19:15,380
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: 12 million po ang senior citizens.

8140
07:19:15,640 --> 07:19:17,880
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Napakadami po ang mga organizations.

8141
07:19:17,880 --> 07:19:20,840
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kailangan po nila ang livelihood.

8142
07:19:21,500 --> 07:19:36,300
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kasi para po ang mga senior citizens, hindi na po umaasa sa ayuda na pumipila po sila dyan para lang sa 2,000 na mukha silang kawawa at nawawala ng dignidad ang mga senior citizens.

8143
07:19:36,300 --> 07:19:47,860
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So kung pwede po, dagdagan naman po ang livelihood para mabigyan nila ng livelihood ang mga senior citizens para magiging makatayo po sila sa sarili.

8144
07:19:47,880 --> 07:19:51,280
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Hindi po sila umaasa ng mga ayuda.

8145
07:19:53,260 --> 07:19:55,860
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: NCSC asked for 54 million.

8146
07:19:56,680 --> 07:19:58,700
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: 4 million lang po ang ibinigay.

8147
07:19:59,000 --> 07:20:04,800
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Saan naman po dadating yung 4 million sa livelihood ng 12 million senior citizens?

8148
07:20:05,800 --> 07:20:06,480
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So yan po.

8149
07:20:07,060 --> 07:20:08,540
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: At ito pa po, isa pa po.

8150
07:20:09,760 --> 07:20:13,840
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Yung mga nagbibigay ng mga benefits,

8151
07:20:14,580 --> 07:20:17,800
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: daladala po nila yung pera, nagtatricycle po sila.

8152
07:20:17,880 --> 07:20:22,820
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kasi wala pong service ang mga regional offices.

8153
07:20:23,440 --> 07:20:37,460
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So kung pwede po, mabigyan po sila, mas kisa lang pong service kada region para naman po may sasakyan yung mga magbibigay ng mga benefits ng mga senior citizens.

8154
07:20:37,460 --> 07:20:45,460
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So they were asking for a capital outlay of 111,300,000.

8155
07:20:45,600 --> 07:20:47,600
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Zero po ang ibinigay.

8156
07:20:47,880 --> 07:21:02,520
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Paano po magiging efficient ang NCSC sa pagbibigay ng mga benefits kung wala man lang po silang sasakyan para magbigay ng mga beneficyo na ito?

8157
07:21:03,140 --> 07:21:06,140
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: At wala po silang security guard.

8158
07:21:06,580 --> 07:21:09,100
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Eh naghahawak po sila ng mga millions.

8159
07:21:09,100 --> 07:21:17,360
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So yan po, itong capital outlay, dito po pupunta sa vehicle per province.

8160
07:21:17,880 --> 07:21:22,400
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Itong vehicle, at saka yung gasolina po, at saka security guard.

8161
07:21:23,080 --> 07:21:29,280
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Ngayon po, all in all, ang Negros Island region po, wala pong budget.

8162
07:21:29,980 --> 07:21:33,580
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Eh kailangan din po ng region na yan ng budget nila.

8163
07:21:33,860 --> 07:21:35,060
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Wala po silang budget.

8164
07:21:35,060 --> 07:21:41,280
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So they are requesting 498 million.

8165
07:21:41,920 --> 07:21:46,300
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Ang naibigay lang po is 314 million.

8166
07:21:46,760 --> 07:21:47,060
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: A difference of...

8167
07:21:47,880 --> 07:21:50,200
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Of 184 million.

8168
07:21:50,660 --> 07:21:52,960
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Siguro naman po, napakaliit po yan.

8169
07:21:53,580 --> 07:22:01,360
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Na hinihingi, nakaragdagan, para they can efficiently implement projects and programs

8170
07:22:01,360 --> 07:22:07,720
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: and give benefits to the senior citizens faster and on time.

8171
07:22:10,120 --> 07:22:11,540
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: That's all for the budget of NCSC.

8172
07:22:11,540 --> 07:22:17,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, if I may answer, even if I'm not from NCSC, kasi nandito ho yung representative ng DBM,

8173
07:22:17,880 --> 07:22:19,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I'm quite familiar with the issue.

8174
07:22:20,400 --> 07:22:27,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tulad nung nabanggit ko kanina, we need to project kasi properly yung catchment natin o yung physical targets natin.

8175
07:22:27,880 --> 07:22:33,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang main mandate naman ho ng NCSC at this point in time will be the expanded centenarian.

8176
07:22:34,160 --> 07:22:41,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So what's happening from my understanding, kaya ho, minsan kulang yung na-appropriate together with the admin costs.

8177
07:22:41,780 --> 07:22:46,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi pag may admin costs naman yan, makakapag-hire sila ng COS nila.

8178
07:22:46,760 --> 07:22:47,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then later on...

8179
07:22:47,720 --> 07:22:50,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: DBM can also provide the other support services.

8180
07:22:50,880 --> 07:22:59,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Eh, yung physical targets kasi pabaliktad, post, mag-a-apply ka muna, susuriin, tsaka natin hihingiin yung pera.

8181
07:22:59,560 --> 07:23:01,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kaya give or take may shortfall.

8182
07:23:01,400 --> 07:23:08,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We've already coordinated with NCSC at we're encouraging them to sign a data sharing agreement with PSA

8183
07:23:08,420 --> 07:23:12,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para makuha nila yung CBMS kasi napoproject po yun.

8184
07:23:12,640 --> 07:23:17,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The 80, 85, 90, 95, and 100, napoproject yun three years in advance.

8185
07:23:17,720 --> 07:23:26,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi I would assume, I would like to think the good congressman believes na huwag na natin antayin silang lumapit kundi tayo ang lumapit.

8186
07:23:27,180 --> 07:23:33,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So if they have a three-year rolling plan as we recommended, na alam na nila yung kanila mga physical targets,

8187
07:23:33,520 --> 07:23:38,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I'm sure Secretary Kim and the DBM family will grant them the necessary subsidies.

8188
07:23:39,240 --> 07:23:47,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Together, nakap-embed na doon yung administrative costs for them to be able to hire more contract of service if that's what they need.

8189
07:23:47,000 --> 07:23:47,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi lang hudala.

8190
07:23:47,720 --> 07:23:55,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi siyempre kung malaki yung subsidy mo, may kaakibat po yan na MOE or admin costs.

8191
07:23:55,660 --> 07:23:59,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I think at more than 5%, ang admin costs at more than 5%.

8192
07:23:59,300 --> 07:24:06,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So ang punto ko doon, I think we have to look at it from a paradigm na huwag sila nag-a-apply kundi tayo ang gumawa ng three-year rolling plan

8193
07:24:06,380 --> 07:24:12,740
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para naka-forecast na actuarial style ilan ang magiging 80, 85, 90, 95 way, way in advance.

8194
07:24:12,740 --> 07:24:14,780
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Yes, yes. Tama po yun.

8195
07:24:15,180 --> 07:24:16,580
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Pero ito nga.

8196
07:24:17,720 --> 07:24:29,440
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Itong digitalization, kailangan-kailangan po ito para makakuha sila ng mga datas at information sa mga senior citizen na mag-80, 85, 90, 95.

8197
07:24:30,060 --> 07:24:33,440
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: E zero po ang budget nila dito.

8198
07:24:34,080 --> 07:24:41,140
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: At saka yun nga po, yung additional, kailangan talaga kasi kokonti po ang empleyado ng NCSC.

8199
07:24:41,140 --> 07:24:47,220
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So paano naman sila makapag-implement ng mga projects efficiently?

8200
07:24:47,720 --> 07:24:58,880
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kung kokonti naman sa region, 17 regions, regional ang opisina, kokonti pa yung empleyado, paano sila maka-implement?

8201
07:24:58,880 --> 07:25:17,620
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So yan po, humihingi ng additional budget kasi 314 lang yung na-release, e what is 184 million naman na maidagdag sa NCSC para naman po maka-implement sila ng projects efficiently.

8202
07:25:18,440 --> 07:25:23,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ma'am, Mr. Chair, it would be a disservice kasi nandito yung DBM representative.

8203
07:25:23,660 --> 07:25:27,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I think kasi bird's eye view, nandun ho ako from the start till now.

8204
07:25:28,480 --> 07:25:36,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So it would be a disservice for me not to advocate kung ano ho yung mga nangyaring usapan ho noon at lalong-lalo na wala dito si Secretary Kim.

8205
07:25:36,320 --> 07:25:37,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Let me be the one to explain.

8206
07:25:38,600 --> 07:25:42,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ma'am, hindi ho kailangan ng data because the CBMS has the data already.

8207
07:25:42,720 --> 07:25:42,800
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Okay.

8208
07:25:43,560 --> 07:25:45,680
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yun ho ang ginagamit namin sa 4Ps.

8209
07:25:46,160 --> 07:25:47,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yun ang ginagamit namin sa social data.

8210
07:25:47,720 --> 07:25:48,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yun ang ginagamit namin sa pension.

8211
07:25:48,700 --> 07:25:50,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yun ang ginagamit namin sa lahat ng programa.

8212
07:25:51,460 --> 07:25:52,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nandun na ho ang edad.

8213
07:25:52,640 --> 07:25:53,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nandun na ho ang address.

8214
07:25:54,200 --> 07:25:56,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: All we have to do is get the list.

8215
07:25:56,520 --> 07:25:58,260
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I-ease filter lang ho natin.

8216
07:25:58,800 --> 07:26:13,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Then, pagdating ho sa usapin ng contract of service, hindi na ho natin kailan humingi pa ng karagdagan kasi kung lumaki yung subsidies nila o yung MOE nila na naaayon sa kanilang physical targets, may kaakibat na not more than 5% na administrative cost yun.

8217
07:26:13,620 --> 07:26:17,620
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So that gives them the leg room to be able to hire more contractors.

8218
07:26:18,700 --> 07:26:28,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And be able to spend on supplies and all that na para magampanan yung paglapit sa kanilang mga 80, 85, 90, 95 at 100.

8219
07:26:29,240 --> 07:26:33,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We can really project that ahead of time as far off as 3 years from now.

8220
07:26:34,880 --> 07:26:37,000
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Anong masasabi ninyo, NCSC?

8221
07:26:43,950 --> 07:26:44,430
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Chair?

8222
07:26:45,430 --> 07:26:46,850
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Good afternoon again.

8223
07:26:47,530 --> 07:26:52,490
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: What we're using is data from PSA PhilSys, which is complete.

8224
07:26:52,490 --> 07:26:53,490
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Unlike...

8225
07:26:53,670 --> 07:27:08,190
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Unlike CBMS, there are LGUs that are not included yet in the CBMS because our LGUs who cannot pay for the cost of CBMS cannot be included.

8226
07:27:08,870 --> 07:27:12,110
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: So yun po ang ginagamit namin, PhilSys.

8227
07:27:12,110 --> 07:27:22,450
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: We can do that and we are in talks with PSA PhilSys para they can provide us the data that we need.

8228
07:27:22,790 --> 07:27:23,630
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Except that when...

8229
07:27:23,670 --> 07:27:29,790
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: When we met them, they wanted a court order for them to be able to share their data to the NCSC.

8230
07:27:29,790 --> 07:27:42,130
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: And so, in our meetings with DICT, who is already developing an app for the applications of our senior citizens,

8231
07:27:42,890 --> 07:27:52,790
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: they have advised us to write the Office of the President so that the PhilSys PSA can actually share their data.

8232
07:27:52,790 --> 07:28:08,790
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: To the NCSC so that we can actually project the true number of senior citizens who will be benefiting from the cash gift of the ECA program.

8233
07:28:09,870 --> 07:28:10,190
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Okay.

8234
07:28:10,190 --> 07:28:14,150
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Pero kailangan ma-digitalize kayo ang office ninyo, no?

8235
07:28:14,450 --> 07:28:19,450
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Para it will be more efficient na makagather din kayo ng talaga information.

8236
07:28:19,750 --> 07:28:21,190
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kasi may...

8237
07:28:22,790 --> 07:28:25,210
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Online registration kayo, di ba?

8238
07:28:25,470 --> 07:28:29,510
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So, kailangan din ninyo talaga na ma-upgrade.

8239
07:28:29,870 --> 07:28:31,550
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Kong Mila, kailangan-kailangan po.

8240
07:28:31,550 --> 07:28:43,950
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Kasi we cannot capture all the data that we need about our senior citizens without, you know, a system that can actually capture these data.

8241
07:28:44,610 --> 07:28:51,430
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Ang ginagamit po namin ngayon na senior citizens online registration is what?

8242
07:28:51,430 --> 07:28:53,910
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Homegrown.

8243
07:28:54,670 --> 07:28:55,530
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Kami-kami lang.

8244
07:28:55,970 --> 07:29:00,830
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Sapagkat wala nga po kaming pondo para pondohan yung system na kailangan namin.

8245
07:29:00,830 --> 07:29:11,970
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: So, for us to be able to be a reliant agency where all the data needed about senior citizens can be derived from, we need that system po.

8246
07:29:12,810 --> 07:29:13,130
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Okay.

8247
07:29:13,710 --> 07:29:21,290
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: At saka ito nga, itong request nyo for vehicles in every region, alam mo na witness ko mismo yan sa Region 1.

8248
07:29:21,290 --> 07:29:27,790
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kasi daga doon ako, na nag-pay-pay out sila, may daladala silang pera, naka-tricycle sila.

8249
07:29:28,170 --> 07:29:31,630
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So, hindi bali doon, pinapahiram ko yung service namin doon.

8250
07:29:32,050 --> 07:29:33,990
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Pero how about the other regions?

8251
07:29:34,170 --> 07:29:40,570
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So, talagang it is very necessary na meron nga kayong, merong service in every region, mas kisaman lang.

8252
07:29:41,090 --> 07:29:47,750
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: At saka security guard para meron silang kasama pag sila'y nagbabayad ng mga benefits.

8253
07:29:49,050 --> 07:29:50,630
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So, 184.

8254
07:29:51,290 --> 07:29:53,410
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: 184 milyon ang kailangan nyong additional.

8255
07:29:54,670 --> 07:29:59,290
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Yes po, 111 milyon para po sa transportation costs and the...

8256
07:30:00,000 --> 07:30:04,420
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: 20, above 20 million for security services po.

8257
07:30:05,560 --> 07:30:14,620
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So, Mr. Chair, Mr. Chair, yes, ay Madam Chair, andito pala si Mika.

8258
07:30:14,620 --> 07:30:23,000
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Madam Chair, 184 million lang naman ang hinihiling nila na additional para naman po,

8259
07:30:23,000 --> 07:30:30,100
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: para naman maka, maano nga, efficiently they can implement the programs and projects under the NCSC.

8260
07:30:30,700 --> 07:30:38,940
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: No, it's napakaliit naman po yun, para, just to give justice to the 12 million senior citizens, no?

8261
07:30:39,640 --> 07:30:46,560
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: At isa pa pong concern, kasi at saka Negros Island, wala silang, zero, zero ang budget nila.

8262
07:30:46,560 --> 07:30:52,760
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So, madagdagan man lang ng 184, 84,000, 84 million.

8263
07:30:52,760 --> 07:30:57,540
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Para, para mabigyan din ng budget ang ano.

8264
07:30:58,040 --> 07:31:06,180
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Sa kaisa pa, itong LGBTQ office, no, zero po ang, ang budget nila.

8265
07:31:06,440 --> 07:31:12,760
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Bakit naman, parang discrimination naman sa mga LGBTQ na marami naman pong mga senior citizens.

8266
07:31:13,560 --> 07:31:16,160
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Bakit zero ang budget nila?

8267
07:31:17,340 --> 07:31:21,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ellen has already answered that, but I think she can clarify again.

8268
07:31:22,760 --> 07:31:30,300
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: Actually, I just want to express our, we are grateful po sa our secretary po of the SWD,

8269
07:31:30,380 --> 07:31:38,220
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: kasi sila po yung nag-house sa amin and even provided po our MOOE and also the administrative support po,

8270
07:31:38,280 --> 07:31:40,740
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: as stated po ng Executive Order 51.

8271
07:31:41,060 --> 07:31:47,560
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: So, yeah, kaya po ma'am, mawala rin po kaming budget because of the timing of my appointment,

8272
07:31:47,780 --> 07:31:49,920
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: which is September 29 of last year.

8273
07:31:50,340 --> 07:31:52,640
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: So, when the budget, first budget hearing,

8274
07:31:52,760 --> 07:31:57,640
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: po, was conducted, hindi po kaya kasi I was by myself,

8275
07:31:58,140 --> 07:32:03,460
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: limited po yung staff ko, so hindi po kami nakapag-participate.

8276
07:32:03,640 --> 07:32:08,140
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: It entails a lot of work po and documentations po, so hindi po kami nakaabot.

8277
07:32:08,200 --> 07:32:08,780
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: That's why po.

8278
07:32:09,120 --> 07:32:15,060
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: And also, nung nag-propose na po kami for the another hearing, a budget hearing,

8279
07:32:15,520 --> 07:32:17,840
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: hindi naman po pinayagan ng DBM.

8280
07:32:18,100 --> 07:32:22,580
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: That's why I'm pleading po na sana po mapagbigyan po kami para po naman,

8281
07:32:22,760 --> 07:32:31,280
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: magawa namin yung mandate ng EO 51, which is signed non-other by our President Marcos po.

8282
07:32:31,400 --> 07:32:35,420
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: So, yeah, we want to work na sana according to our mandate.

8283
07:32:36,080 --> 07:32:39,640
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: So, magkakaroon na kayo ng budget?

8284
07:32:40,540 --> 07:32:46,680
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: Yun po yung piniplid po namin, nakikiusap po sana kami na sana po mapagbigyan po kami

8285
07:32:46,680 --> 07:32:52,320
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: so we can function po, our office can really function based po sa mandate, which is policymaking po.

8286
07:32:52,760 --> 07:32:58,080
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: And maliit lang po yung budget na iniling namin, which is 35 million for 2027,

8287
07:32:58,300 --> 07:33:00,700
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: and that is in national scope po yan.

8288
07:33:01,340 --> 07:33:10,660
Undersecretary Ellen Pasion: And meron na rin po kaming plan for 2027 on how to use the budget or utilize the budget appropriately po.

8289
07:33:11,440 --> 07:33:12,580
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Okay, thank you.

8290
07:33:12,680 --> 07:33:16,780
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Sana po we will consider the budget of the LGBTQ.

8291
07:33:17,640 --> 07:33:21,240
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kasi kailangan din naman maasikaso rin sila eh.

8292
07:33:22,760 --> 07:33:31,760
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Thank you very much, Madam Chair. That's all. Thank you.

8293
07:33:42,140 --> 07:33:44,180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, Congresswoman Mila.

8294
07:33:44,960 --> 07:33:52,380
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I would like to acknowledge the presence here of our Committee Chair for the Appropriations,

8295
07:33:53,380 --> 07:33:56,520
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Chairman, Chairperson Mika Swansing.

8296
07:33:57,320 --> 07:33:59,180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I am turning over the...

8297
07:33:59,180 --> 07:34:06,010
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, Paul.

8298
07:34:06,170 --> 07:34:07,350
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Vice Chair Ramanava.

8299
07:34:07,670 --> 07:34:10,090
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: First of all, I would like to say thank you.

8300
07:34:10,230 --> 07:34:15,970
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I would like to express my gratitude, of course, to Vice Chair Ramanava for his exemplary leadership

8301
07:34:15,970 --> 07:34:21,190
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in managing today's deliberations for BSWD.

8302
07:34:21,570 --> 07:34:24,030
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So far po, you started at 9 a.m. po, di ba?

8303
07:34:24,190 --> 07:34:27,510
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So it's already, we're almost close to 8 hours.

8304
07:34:28,850 --> 07:34:29,410
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nagbibidyo.

8305
07:34:29,570 --> 07:34:31,190
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Hindi ba po tayo tapos?

8306
07:34:31,550 --> 07:34:34,030
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nagbibidyo na sila po kasi bakit termination na?

8307
07:34:34,470 --> 07:34:36,030
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But I just wanted to say,

8308
07:34:36,170 --> 07:34:36,690
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: thank you po.

8309
07:34:36,790 --> 07:34:39,750
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And I would like to thank all the members of the House,

8310
07:34:39,870 --> 07:34:43,030
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: our colleagues for your active participation in today's hearings.

8311
07:34:43,370 --> 07:34:46,210
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Of course, I would like to say thank you to the BSWD family.

8312
07:34:46,210 --> 07:34:53,370
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And of course, our, alba, one of the, I would say, best secretaries talaga to work with,

8313
07:34:53,750 --> 07:34:55,370
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Secretary Rex Gachalian.

8314
07:34:56,290 --> 07:34:56,770
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

8315
07:34:56,810 --> 07:35:01,210
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you so much po, Sec, for all of your help in our locality.

8316
07:35:02,250 --> 07:35:04,570
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, siguro po, Sec, before we terminate,

8317
07:35:04,670 --> 07:35:05,210
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I would just like to ask...

8318
07:35:06,170 --> 07:35:07,170
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I would just like to ask a few questions.

8319
07:35:08,410 --> 07:35:12,710
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The first one po, sorry, magsisinita po ako ng parokyal concern.

8320
07:35:12,830 --> 07:35:13,710
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Very quick lang po.

8321
07:35:13,710 --> 07:35:15,970
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Last year po, during the deliberations,

8322
07:35:16,090 --> 07:35:20,990
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I raised the concern around the creation of plantilia positions

8323
07:35:20,990 --> 07:35:26,970
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: or the regularization of the field workers for the different programs.

8324
07:35:27,350 --> 07:35:29,810
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For peace po, hindi ganun kalaki yung problema

8325
07:35:29,810 --> 07:35:32,850
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because it's a law, it's institutionalized.

8326
07:35:32,950 --> 07:35:36,090
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But for AICs and for the other programs po,

8327
07:35:36,170 --> 07:35:40,290
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: madami po nating mga field workers, mga social workers,

8328
07:35:40,490 --> 07:35:42,930
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ay hindi pa social workers kasi hindi pa sila plantilia eh.

8329
07:35:42,930 --> 07:35:47,310
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But we have a lot of field workers who have been working with BSWD

8330
07:35:47,310 --> 07:35:51,950
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for almost close to 10 years and still they are not yet regularized.

8331
07:35:52,230 --> 07:35:57,770
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I would advocate for the workers po in our province.

8332
07:35:58,670 --> 07:36:05,050
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: This one I raised po under the leadership of RD Vinos, PD Au,

8333
07:36:06,010 --> 07:36:06,050
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and...

8334
07:36:06,170 --> 07:36:13,710
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: As of today po, the plantilia positions which I advocated for last year

8335
07:36:13,710 --> 07:36:15,190
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: are still not created po.

8336
07:36:15,330 --> 07:36:18,650
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So it's already been a year, they're still not regularized.

8337
07:36:18,650 --> 07:36:24,490
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So I advocate po ulit, SEC, sana po ma-regularize na sila.

8338
07:36:24,630 --> 07:36:26,510
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Anim lang naman po yata sila o balo.

8339
07:36:27,170 --> 07:36:31,410
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Madam Chair, our apologies, pero konting-konti na lang po na pag-aantay.

8340
07:36:31,610 --> 07:36:35,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I spoke to Secretary Kim around 400...

8341
07:36:36,170 --> 07:36:40,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 584 AICS positions are now forthcoming.

8342
07:36:40,530 --> 07:36:41,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: These are regular positions.

8343
07:36:41,630 --> 07:36:46,210
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we'll see to it that those deserving employees na napakatagal na

8344
07:36:46,210 --> 07:36:48,650
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and hard-performing gets to get their dibs on this.

8345
07:36:49,050 --> 07:36:51,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang nauna ko kasing lumabas yung 5,000 para sa 4P's.

8346
07:36:52,610 --> 07:36:55,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then nasundan ng 16 or 20?

8347
07:36:56,610 --> 07:36:57,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 90.

8348
07:36:57,410 --> 07:37:02,390
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 90 sa disaster and then sa social tech around 80 plus.

8349
07:37:02,830 --> 07:37:03,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So ito na ho yung next.

8350
07:37:04,130 --> 07:37:05,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I was just with him last Friday.

8351
07:37:05,590 --> 07:37:09,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And sabi niya, padating na, kumbaga, nandiyan na ho, antay na lang namin.

8352
07:37:09,170 --> 07:37:13,450
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we will see to it that the employees who deserve will get those plantile positions.

8353
07:37:13,810 --> 07:37:16,050
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Secrex, maungulit ako up until plenary.

8354
07:37:16,410 --> 07:37:18,890
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because it's already been a year since this was raised.

8355
07:37:19,230 --> 07:37:26,410
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think we saw that even more when we, during our response to the Middle East crisis.

8356
07:37:27,010 --> 07:37:33,490
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Even the fuel and the transport allowance, sila na po talaga yung...

8357
07:37:33,490 --> 07:37:35,030
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yeah, bubog sa dati.

8358
07:37:35,030 --> 07:37:36,470
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ...pliners po talaga natin.

8359
07:37:38,130 --> 07:37:39,410
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 24-7 po.

8360
07:37:39,530 --> 07:37:42,150
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Diba, they were working already all over the country.

8361
07:37:42,330 --> 07:37:45,570
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So I'll advocate for them po, Secrex, na sana po magawa.

8362
07:37:45,570 --> 07:37:49,270
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tama-tama, nandito somewhere si Director Ben Gillette ng DBM na may hawk sa amin.

8363
07:37:49,350 --> 07:37:55,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: She will make sure, ako na magkocommit, na bibigay niya sa amin yung papel ng regularization ng AICS positions.

8364
07:37:56,130 --> 07:37:56,390
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Apo.

8365
07:37:57,050 --> 07:37:59,030
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And I hope po when it's...

8366
07:37:59,630 --> 07:38:03,650
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sana po maramdaman din po all across the country.

8367
07:38:03,650 --> 07:38:04,230
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yung creation of the...

8368
07:38:04,230 --> 07:38:04,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Unfortunately.

8369
07:38:05,030 --> 07:38:07,750
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Malikit pa lang po yung binigay sa amin, 584.

8370
07:38:07,890 --> 07:38:11,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But as Secretary Kim said, it's going to be gradual, tuloy-tuloy naman po.

8371
07:38:11,670 --> 07:38:12,150
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Okay po.

8372
07:38:12,330 --> 07:38:14,370
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I just want to advocate for them, Secrex.

8373
07:38:14,430 --> 07:38:16,750
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I know you advocate for your people as well.

8374
07:38:16,990 --> 07:38:20,410
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But we'll just put a little bit more pressure on DBM na sabi...

8375
07:38:20,410 --> 07:38:21,650
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry po, ata tawagin.

8376
07:38:21,730 --> 07:38:22,490
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: On the spot po na.

8377
07:38:22,550 --> 07:38:23,790
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Si Director Bench ba yan?

8378
07:38:23,950 --> 07:38:24,490
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nandyan, yes.

8379
07:38:24,530 --> 07:38:26,530
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Okay, Director Bench, are you on the spot?

8380
07:38:26,690 --> 07:38:27,410
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's been a year.

8381
07:38:31,910 --> 07:38:32,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yan, Director.

8382
07:38:32,810 --> 07:38:33,910
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry, Director Bench.

8383
07:38:33,910 --> 07:38:34,950
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry, you're on the spot.

8384
07:38:35,030 --> 07:38:39,150
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ako na po kasi sila talaga po yung frontliners natin, eh.

8385
07:38:45,370 --> 07:38:46,770
DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga: We'll have to turn on po, Madam Chair.

8386
07:38:47,550 --> 07:38:49,110
DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga: Actually, tama naman po, Secrex.

8387
07:38:49,210 --> 07:38:55,190
DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga: As discussed po with Secretary Kim po nung Friday, for approval na po siya.

8388
07:38:56,190 --> 07:38:58,130
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Actually, ang exact words is, Sec. Kim, di ba?

8389
07:38:58,930 --> 07:39:02,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nandyan na, na-approve na, hanapin lang yung papel.

8390
07:39:02,870 --> 07:39:03,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero padating na, di ba?

8391
07:39:04,310 --> 07:39:08,530
DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga: For approval na po niya, may question lang po siya doon sa bureau na nag...

8392
07:39:08,530 --> 07:39:08,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ano?

8393
07:39:10,530 --> 07:39:16,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Madam Chair, I will see to it that I call Sec. Kim to remind him so that we get those positions in

8394
07:39:16,310 --> 07:39:22,350
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: with a priority na yung mga matatagal na humauna, then follow up the next succeeding position.

8395
07:39:22,790 --> 07:39:26,310
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I just want to point out, to be fair with DBM, wala man sila dito.

8396
07:39:26,830 --> 07:39:32,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang total na nilabas na nila for 2026 na plantili positions namin is 8,463,

8397
07:39:33,350 --> 07:39:36,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of which 5,000 plus went to 4Ps, at the rest nakakalat.

8398
07:39:36,810 --> 07:39:40,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Itong sa AICS lang may clarification, pero I don't think we have...

8399
07:39:40,370 --> 07:39:42,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: any disagreement whatsoever.

8400
07:39:43,390 --> 07:39:46,250
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you po, Sec. Director Bench.

8401
07:39:46,610 --> 07:39:48,130
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Mahungulit lang po talaga kami.

8402
07:39:48,410 --> 07:39:52,730
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because it's been a year since I spoke about it.

8403
07:39:54,030 --> 07:39:55,810
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Budgeteering po yun ng DSWD.

8404
07:39:56,670 --> 07:40:01,810
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So I'd like to follow up lang po, just to advocate for our frontliners,

8405
07:40:02,450 --> 07:40:04,570
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: our field personnel who are there every day,

8406
07:40:06,110 --> 07:40:10,170
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: disbursing, distributing all of the services that DSWD provides.

8407
07:40:10,370 --> 07:40:17,230
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So alam naman yun ni Secrex talaga how much I've been making kulit about this over the past year.

8408
07:40:17,370 --> 07:40:23,290
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kasi po, nakita ko po talaga, iba mag-reddit tayo na lang, hindi pa sila na-regularize.

8409
07:40:23,410 --> 07:40:27,250
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So hopefully po, 400 plus positions po, Secrex, right?

8410
07:40:27,330 --> 07:40:31,750
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That's what we're expecting for 584 positions.

8411
07:40:32,370 --> 07:40:33,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yeah, for AICS in particular.

8412
07:40:33,370 --> 07:40:36,810
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Okay. 4Ps done na po. End disaster.

8413
07:40:36,910 --> 07:40:40,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: First batch po, 5,000 na po yun. May buntot pa ulit na another 5,000.

8414
07:40:40,450 --> 07:40:43,330
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Apo. Sige po, Secrex. We'll work together po.

8415
07:40:43,810 --> 07:40:50,630
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We'll, mag-ulit po tayo sa DBM to advocate for our frontliners.

8416
07:40:50,970 --> 07:40:52,370
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Secrex.

8417
07:40:52,630 --> 07:41:01,370
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'll move lang po to, there's a, one of our initiatives in the Committee on Appropriations

8418
07:41:01,370 --> 07:41:06,750
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is to put forth some of the questions of the civil society organizations.

8419
07:41:06,750 --> 07:41:10,350
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And this morning po, Senior Vice Chair,

8420
07:41:10,450 --> 07:41:14,810
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Abbot Garcia, and several of our vice chairpersons in the Committee on Appropriations

8421
07:41:14,810 --> 07:41:16,610
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: conducted the People's Budget Review.

8422
07:41:16,830 --> 07:41:22,730
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So mayroon na pong engagement sa civil society organizations as to what insights they have

8423
07:41:22,730 --> 07:41:27,230
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with regard to particular agencies, particular budget items, and the like.

8424
07:41:27,230 --> 07:41:37,090
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And similarly po, we also committed to them that we will propound questions on their behalf to the agency.

8425
07:41:37,330 --> 07:41:39,650
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So I have here a few.

8426
07:41:39,650 --> 07:41:41,650
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: A few of the questions.

8427
07:41:41,830 --> 07:41:47,370
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And if you would allow me po, Secrex, I'd just like to ask some of their questions po.

8428
07:41:47,610 --> 07:41:52,490
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The first would be from Enet with regard to early childhood care and development.

8429
07:41:52,850 --> 07:41:55,730
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I believe this was tackled earlier today as well.

8430
07:41:56,470 --> 07:42:01,270
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Particularly with regard to the supplementary feeding program of the SWD.

8431
07:42:01,270 --> 07:42:09,270
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The question is, DSWD's supplementary feeding declined from 9.564 billion

8432
07:42:09,650 --> 07:42:16,710
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in fiscal year 2026 to 6.359 billion in 2027 in the NEP,

8433
07:42:16,970 --> 07:42:24,910
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: while the target remains 1,899,415 children in CDCs and SNPs.

8434
07:42:25,430 --> 07:42:29,910
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Question po, how will the SWD maintain the same beneficiary target

8435
07:42:29,910 --> 07:42:33,430
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with roughly 3.2 billion less in funding?

8436
07:42:33,830 --> 07:42:35,890
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If you can recall, Madam Chair,

8437
07:42:36,350 --> 07:42:38,690
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: dinagdagan yung number of days kaya lumaki ho yan eh.

8438
07:42:38,770 --> 07:42:39,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: To synchronize with the target.

8439
07:42:39,630 --> 07:42:42,250
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: To synchronize with the DepEd from 120 to 180 days.

8440
07:42:42,750 --> 07:42:44,430
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So binalik lang ho sa 120.

8441
07:42:44,890 --> 07:42:47,670
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So meaning, same number of beneficiaries, lesser number of days.

8442
07:42:48,130 --> 07:42:49,630
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But we put it in our...

8443
07:42:50,610 --> 07:42:51,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nilagay natin, no?

8444
07:42:52,370 --> 07:42:56,970
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But again, we will respect the wisdom of Congress

8445
07:42:56,970 --> 07:43:00,510
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: if you wish to synchronize it back to 180

8446
07:43:00,510 --> 07:43:02,810
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para tugmang-tugma kami with DepEd.

8447
07:43:03,610 --> 07:43:04,950
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Secrex.

8448
07:43:04,950 --> 07:43:08,950
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Actually, that was one of the concerns that was raised by SecSun

8449
07:43:09,630 --> 07:43:10,250
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yesterday.

8450
07:43:10,570 --> 07:43:12,630
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's really the cut from...

8451
07:43:13,450 --> 07:43:16,610
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The difference essentially from the 2026 GA-A level

8452
07:43:16,610 --> 07:43:20,610
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of roughly 26 billion for the school-based feeding program

8453
07:43:20,610 --> 07:43:25,770
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: down back to the 2026 NEP level of 11 billion.

8454
07:43:26,090 --> 07:43:29,710
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So that was one of the discussions yesterday po.

8455
07:43:29,750 --> 07:43:33,610
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It will take that into consideration as we look through the budget.

8456
07:43:34,490 --> 07:43:36,390
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Pero given the limited fiscal space po,

8457
07:43:36,470 --> 07:43:39,170
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we'll do the best that we can.

8458
07:43:39,630 --> 07:43:42,810
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: They were just asking po, Secrex, as a follow-up question,

8459
07:43:43,270 --> 07:43:46,650
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: what meal cost, number of feeding days, and nutritional standards

8460
07:43:46,650 --> 07:43:49,990
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: are assumed under the 6.359 billion allocation?

8461
07:43:50,390 --> 07:43:53,050
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're still at the 25 pesos per meal cap,

8462
07:43:53,310 --> 07:43:56,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: which is an increase when we joined this administration.

8463
07:43:56,690 --> 07:43:59,730
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It was only at maliit lang ngayon, 18 pesos.

8464
07:43:59,910 --> 07:44:01,230
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we're now at 25 pesos.

8465
07:44:01,230 --> 07:44:05,610
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then milk for the undernourished is at 22 pesos,

8466
07:44:05,790 --> 07:44:08,490
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: which we get from the Carabao Center.

8467
07:44:09,630 --> 07:44:12,030
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then 120 days, as mentioned.

8468
07:44:12,730 --> 07:44:19,410
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And then the caloric intake is based on the FNRI-approved Pinggang Pinoy.

8469
07:44:20,230 --> 07:44:21,530
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Secrex.

8470
07:44:21,670 --> 07:44:26,750
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And finally po, will any part of the cost be shifted to LGUs, parents, or other sources?

8471
07:44:26,750 --> 07:44:31,510
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And how will DSWD prevent inequities between richer and poorer LGUs?

8472
07:44:31,710 --> 07:44:33,570
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Again, it's based on enrollment.

8473
07:44:34,230 --> 07:44:38,190
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Once they enter the number of children enrolled in their IS system,

8474
07:44:38,670 --> 07:44:39,590
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: dun lang naman namin hinipin.

8475
07:44:39,630 --> 07:44:42,090
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So the more enrollment, the more you get.

8476
07:44:42,570 --> 07:44:44,550
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Obviously, it's an efficient way of doing it.

8477
07:44:44,650 --> 07:44:46,370
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kesa kung mag-a-allocate kami ng fix,

8478
07:44:46,530 --> 07:44:50,910
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero hindi naman nila natatamaan yung bilang ng studyante na nag-e-enroll.

8479
07:44:51,370 --> 07:44:52,770
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But on a separate note,

8480
07:44:53,530 --> 07:44:57,150
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: if they mean kung ipapass on namin yung cost sa iba, hindi po.

8481
07:44:57,590 --> 07:44:58,850
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero ang nangyayari ngayon,

8482
07:44:59,230 --> 07:45:00,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because of the

8483
07:45:00,240 --> 07:45:01,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: difficulty in central procurement

8484
07:45:01,820 --> 07:45:04,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and logistics of handling fresh goods,

8485
07:45:04,520 --> 07:45:06,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 65%, 55%

8486
07:45:06,320 --> 07:45:07,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to 60% of this is downloaded

8487
07:45:07,860 --> 07:45:09,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: directly to the LGUs that

8488
07:45:09,900 --> 07:45:12,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we mandated or encouraged

8489
07:45:12,100 --> 07:45:14,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: them to use the Sagip Saka Law

8490
07:45:14,100 --> 07:45:16,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para diretso ho in procurement sa ating

8491
07:45:16,220 --> 07:45:18,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: mga magsasaka. So, as much

8492
07:45:18,180 --> 07:45:20,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as we can, we empower the local government units

8493
07:45:20,000 --> 07:45:22,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi they're the ones providing the

8494
07:45:22,040 --> 07:45:24,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: teachers anyway. And from our

8495
07:45:24,140 --> 07:45:26,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: experience, LGUs

8496
07:45:26,460 --> 07:45:27,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: also augment.

8497
07:45:27,860 --> 07:45:29,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi hindi naman ho sapat

8498
07:45:29,700 --> 07:45:32,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: minsan sa maraming LGUs, nagdadagdag pa

8499
07:45:32,120 --> 07:45:33,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng bilang

8500
07:45:33,660 --> 07:45:35,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or ng number para

8501
07:45:35,580 --> 07:45:36,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: tumaas yung unit cost.

8502
07:45:37,620 --> 07:45:39,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Secrex. Those are the questions

8503
07:45:39,680 --> 07:45:41,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from ENET pertaining to early

8504
07:45:41,640 --> 07:45:42,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: childhood care and development.

8505
07:45:43,840 --> 07:45:44,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Another

8506
07:45:44,320 --> 07:45:47,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: CSO po who would like to ask

8507
07:45:47,840 --> 07:45:49,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: questions would be FSL National

8508
07:45:49,680 --> 07:45:51,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Network pertaining to

8509
07:45:51,780 --> 07:45:54,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the National Council for Disability

8510
07:45:54,000 --> 07:45:54,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Affairs.

8511
07:45:54,500 --> 07:45:56,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: A few questions

8512
07:45:56,600 --> 07:45:57,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po. There are two questions.

8513
07:45:57,860 --> 07:46:00,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If we may direct the question

8514
07:46:00,280 --> 07:46:00,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po, Secrex.

8515
07:46:00,660 --> 07:46:02,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: She will be in a better position to answer.

8516
07:46:03,300 --> 07:46:06,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you po. The first question would be

8517
07:46:06,000 --> 07:46:08,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: please enumerate all prior

8518
07:46:08,360 --> 07:46:10,380

07:46:20,760 --> 07:46:21,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: appropriations.

8525
07:46:22,600 --> 07:46:23,920
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: With the indulgence

8526
07:46:23,920 --> 07:46:24,960
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: of Mr. Chair,

07:46:35,820 --> 07:46:37,920
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: And we also

8533
07:46:37,920 --> 07:46:38,840
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: are giving

8534
07:46:41,020 --> 07:46:43,080
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: assistance to any agency

07:46:47,140 --> 07:46:49,540
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: interpretation. And currently

8538
07:46:49,540 --> 07:46:51,260
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: there's a work

8539
07:46:51,880 --> 07:46:53,780
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: negotiation going on between

8540
07:46:53,780 --> 07:46:56,040
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: NCDA, PADI and

07:46:56,040 --> 07:46:57,640
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: the DSWD Academy

8542
07:46:57,700 --> 07:47:02,620
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: regarding provision of FSL training to all LGUs.

8543
07:47:04,120 --> 07:47:05,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

8544
07:47:05,300 --> 07:47:08,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And last question, how has the council complied with,

8545
07:47:09,260 --> 07:47:15,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as evidenced in PS appropriations previously and prospectively for 2027,

8546
07:47:15,520 --> 07:47:21,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the mandate of RA 10524 on quotas for hiring of persons with disabilities,

8547
07:47:22,300 --> 07:47:24,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: specifically deaf persons?

8548
07:47:24,460 --> 07:47:27,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: What kinds of positions are these deaf hires?

8549
07:47:27,700 --> 07:47:35,200
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: Currently, our positions in our local government units,

8550
07:47:35,260 --> 07:47:43,940
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: we have 97.4% engagement or persons with disability compliance.

8551
07:47:43,940 --> 07:47:49,920
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: But only 400 are those who have regular positions.

8552
07:47:50,060 --> 07:47:52,940
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: The rest are focal persons.

8553
07:47:54,020 --> 07:47:56,840
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: And the NCDA will provide,

8554
07:47:56,840 --> 07:48:00,360
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: the committee of statistics,

8555
07:48:00,660 --> 07:48:05,420
NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: who and how many persons are deaf under the PDAU.

8556
07:48:13,680 --> 07:48:15,020
Committee member: Yes, yung submission.

8557
07:48:15,760 --> 07:48:18,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much.

8558
07:48:18,680 --> 07:48:22,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So those are the questions from FSL National Network

8559
07:48:22,300 --> 07:48:24,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pertaining to the National Council for Disability Affairs.

8560
07:48:25,120 --> 07:48:28,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So I hope that clarifies the questions for our CSO partners.

8561
07:48:28,700 --> 07:48:32,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Again, we would like to reiterate our commitment

8562
07:48:32,020 --> 07:48:34,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: on the part of the Committee on Appropriations to continue,

8563
07:48:35,640 --> 07:48:41,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: continuously engage with the CSOs by being the bridge to the agencies.

8564
07:48:41,400 --> 07:48:41,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Secretary?

8565
07:48:41,900 --> 07:48:46,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Just to clarify, the initial submission we had did not contain the discussions that,

8566
07:48:46,700 --> 07:48:49,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the items that came about, yes, from the discussion today.

8567
07:48:50,400 --> 07:48:52,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: No, but because of this discussion again today,

8568
07:48:53,080 --> 07:48:55,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: there were new items that might land.

8569
07:48:55,720 --> 07:48:57,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yes, there's more, Madam Chair.

8570
07:48:58,060 --> 07:48:59,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we will send it to you.

8571
07:49:01,320 --> 07:49:02,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Three or four items.

8572
07:49:02,360 --> 07:49:03,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We'll see to it that we submit it.

8573
07:49:04,060 --> 07:49:05,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Madam Chair, if I may just be allowed,

8574
07:49:05,500 --> 07:49:09,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I know it's post. Para akong nagre-react lastly, but we just got word.

8575
07:49:09,940 --> 07:49:14,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I'll go back to Mila kasi it's a very important issue itong sa NCSC.

8576
07:49:14,480 --> 07:49:15,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I just can't let it slide.

8577
07:49:15,700 --> 07:49:22,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I just want to clarify na ang National ID, as confirmed by the PSA just now,

8578
07:49:23,100 --> 07:49:25,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is not the mode to identify.

8579
07:49:25,920 --> 07:49:33,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The mode to identify is the CBMS para mahanap natin yung 80, 85, 90, 95, 100.

8580
07:49:33,760 --> 07:49:35,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Accordingly, mali po yung notion ng executive director ng NCSC

8581
07:49:35,500 --> 07:49:43,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na National ID ho ang gagamitin. Hindi po ang pag-identify; CBMS

8582
07:49:43,980 --> 07:49:48,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at kumpleto po yung fields noon: birthday, address, so on and so forth.

8583
07:49:48,820 --> 07:49:55,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang National ID gagamitin lamang po yan para i-validate kung yung taong yun ay sinasabi niya,

8584
07:49:55,180 --> 07:49:56,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ako si Rex Gatchalian.

8585
07:49:56,220 --> 07:49:57,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ako ba talaga si Rex Gatchalian?

8586
07:49:58,340 --> 07:49:59,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Parang nabaliktad nila ho ata.

8587
07:50:00,300 --> 07:50:04,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number two, a simple data sharing agreement between them,

8588
07:50:04,380 --> 07:50:05,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: NCSC,

8589
07:50:06,000 --> 07:50:07,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And PSA will be suffice.

8590
07:50:07,880 --> 07:50:10,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: You don't need a court order to do that.

8591
07:50:10,340 --> 07:50:13,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Among government agencies, that will only cause more delay.

8592
07:50:13,420 --> 07:50:20,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Habang nag-aantay na ho kayo na kailangan mabigyan po lahat ng mga 80, 85, 90, 95, 100.

8593
07:50:20,660 --> 07:50:21,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Uulitin ko po.

8594
07:50:22,020 --> 07:50:27,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: You can anticipate sino magba-birthday ng 80, 85 as far as three years down the road.

8595
07:50:28,320 --> 07:50:29,540
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We need to help DBM.

8596
07:50:29,760 --> 07:50:33,340
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi wala yung DBM dito na parang sila yung may kasalanan eh.

8597
07:50:33,340 --> 07:50:35,460
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: You need to help DBM.

8598
07:50:35,500 --> 07:50:42,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: You need to help DBM identify, and CBMS may not be the perfect list, but it gives you some type of confidence level.

8599
07:50:43,020 --> 07:50:44,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Parang actuarial yan eh.

8600
07:50:44,620 --> 07:50:47,660
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Para ma-identify na natin ahead of time.

8601
07:50:47,820 --> 07:50:50,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Plus, on demand from the local OSCA offices,

8602
07:50:51,220 --> 07:50:55,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that you can cross-check between their birth and their death certificates or registries.

8603
07:50:56,460 --> 07:51:00,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi naman ho kailangan komplikado, Mr. Chair, Madam Chair.

8604
07:51:00,960 --> 07:51:02,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi ho kailangan maging komplikado ho ito.

8605
07:51:02,360 --> 07:51:04,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pinasa na namin yung sistema.

8606
07:51:05,500 --> 07:51:09,220
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And I would highly encourage NCSC to look into that.

8607
07:51:09,320 --> 07:51:12,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi like you said, ang nagsu-suffer ho yung mga matatanda,

8608
07:51:12,480 --> 07:51:15,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and at the same time hihingi na naman tayo ulit ng pera sa DBM.

8609
07:51:16,000 --> 07:51:18,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're in the regime of a very tight fiscal space.

8610
07:51:18,600 --> 07:51:20,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we're trying to streamline and optimize.

8611
07:51:21,220 --> 07:51:25,320
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nandoon ho kasi ako sa diskusyon tungkol ho dito since Secretary Mina till now.

8612
07:51:25,640 --> 07:51:31,500
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kaya hindi ko puwedeng palagpasin yung sinasabi nila na kailangan ng court order, kailangan ng National ID.

8613
07:51:31,500 --> 07:51:35,020
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I think they really have to talk to PSA kasi yung PSA nagre-react

8614
07:51:35,500 --> 07:51:36,720
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at dinadala ngayon yung sagot sa amin

8615
07:51:37,100 --> 07:51:38,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na tama yung notion ho namin.

8616
07:51:38,960 --> 07:51:42,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I just don't want to let the commission, the committee, end its hearing.

8617
07:51:42,580 --> 07:51:43,820
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At yun ang nakalagay sa minutes.

8618
07:51:44,160 --> 07:51:48,520
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I dispute every single fact raised by the Executive Director of NCSC.

8619
07:51:48,940 --> 07:51:55,300
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And if DSWD had its way in doing this, there's a more organized, systematic way of doing it.

8620
07:51:55,480 --> 07:51:56,580
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It may not be perfect.

8621
07:51:56,700 --> 07:51:57,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Wala namang ahensyang perfect.

8622
07:51:57,960 --> 07:52:01,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But it gives you a higher confidence level than by application.

8623
07:52:01,620 --> 07:52:04,100
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Parang kung sino ang may access sa computer, sila mag-a-apply.

8624
07:52:04,280 --> 07:52:05,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tapos yun lang ang susuriin natin.

8625
07:52:05,500 --> 07:52:08,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's what we're trying to do.

8626
07:52:08,840 --> 07:52:09,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Secrex.

8627
07:52:10,040 --> 07:52:15,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think we really need to develop that system that you already have a form.

8628
07:52:15,440 --> 07:52:19,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think this is a similar issue to the free higher education.

8629
07:52:19,340 --> 07:52:26,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's a bit of a far analogy, but it's really an issue in terms of yung forecasting.

8630
07:52:26,540 --> 07:52:30,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: They're unable to get it right in terms of the system.

8631
07:52:30,340 --> 07:52:37,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Hindi po makapag-align at the moment yung CHED, yung PASUC at saka yung DBM

8632
07:52:37,640 --> 07:52:41,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: With regard to the estimated number of enrollees for the following year.

8633
07:52:41,840 --> 07:52:45,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So every year, nagbaliktad naman yung problema nila, Secrex.

8634
07:52:45,640 --> 07:52:52,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sa distribution po doon sa octogenarian award, ang nangyayari po delay.

8635
07:52:52,340 --> 07:53:06,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Doon naman po sa FHE, free higher education, ang nangyayari nag-a-accrue lang, nag-a-accumulate lang yung deficiency between the gap nung estimated number of enrollees

8636
07:53:07,640 --> 07:53:09,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: versus the actual number of enrollees.

8637
07:53:09,540 --> 07:53:18,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Umabot pa nga po sa point na across five years, Php12 billion yung na-accrue na deficit.

8638
07:53:18,240 --> 07:53:24,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So it's really, I think there has to be a system po. I agree with Sec Rex.

8639
07:53:24,640 --> 07:53:28,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And I think before the next budget season, sana maayos na.

8640
07:53:28,340 --> 07:53:34,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kasi yung sa FHE po naayos nila between last year and this year's budget season.

8641
07:53:34,440 --> 07:53:35,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Pero yun po kasi nangyayari.

8642
07:53:35,840 --> 07:53:37,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I recognize the problem.

8643
07:53:37,640 --> 07:53:41,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Na ang nangyayari, nade-delay yung distribution po.

8644
07:53:41,840 --> 07:53:48,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, as Secrex was saying, kaya naman because the PSA has a database.

8645
07:53:48,640 --> 07:53:54,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: In fact, we gave them this system of forecasting in advance with a higher confidence level.

8646
07:53:54,640 --> 07:53:58,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Syempre give or take. Meron hong kasamang palad, papanaw.

8647
07:53:58,640 --> 07:54:01,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero wala naman ho madadagdag na doon, more or less,

8648
07:54:01,640 --> 07:54:05,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi alam mo na naman sino mag-80, 85, 90, 95, 100.

8649
07:54:05,640 --> 07:54:07,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Madam Chair, Mr. Chairman.

8650
07:54:07,640 --> 07:54:08,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I have to keep on repeating this.

8651
07:54:09,040 --> 07:54:10,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mag-a-accrue ito nang mag-a-accrue.

8652
07:54:10,440 --> 07:54:14,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: As mentioned by the executive director kanina, may backlog na.

8653
07:54:14,440 --> 07:54:15,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tapos magba-backlog ulit.

8654
07:54:15,840 --> 07:54:17,040
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tapos magba-backlog ulit.

8655
07:54:17,240 --> 07:54:21,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Baka ho mag-accrue nang mag-accrue yung mga IOUs till pumanaw na yung iba at hindi matanggap.

8656
07:54:21,440 --> 07:54:25,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I may sound like we're pointing fingers, but ang point ko ho is help.

8657
07:54:25,640 --> 07:54:29,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We already gave them the system, the process.

8658
07:54:29,640 --> 07:54:31,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And I think DBM will agree with that.

8659
07:54:31,640 --> 07:54:35,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Sana lang ho tingnan nila kasi the answers of the executive director kanina

8660
07:54:35,640 --> 07:54:36,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: was really way off.

8661
07:54:36,440 --> 07:54:41,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kaya yung PSA sumagot na sa amin at pinapasagutin daw namin nang maayos.

8662
07:54:44,240 --> 07:54:50,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May I then call the ED of NCSC?

8663
07:54:50,440 --> 07:54:53,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Na-release na po ni Sec Rex.

8664
07:54:53,440 --> 07:54:55,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And I think that's a very valid point.

8665
07:54:55,440 --> 07:54:57,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's a way for us to be able to forecast it.

8666
07:54:57,440 --> 07:55:03,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's the PSA who seems to be willing to help to develop the system.

8667
07:55:03,440 --> 07:55:06,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Have you engaged with the PSA?

8668
07:55:06,440 --> 07:55:10,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And have you looked at the forecasting model as suggested by Secrex?

8669
07:55:10,640 --> 07:55:16,240
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Yes, we have met with PSA and that's what they said.

8670
07:55:16,440 --> 07:55:19,240
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: And that's what I said a few minutes ago.

8671
07:55:19,440 --> 07:55:25,240
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: So we can talk and discuss about this, what they're saying about the forecasting.

8672
07:55:25,440 --> 07:55:30,240
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: Because I think if we are able to get the data from the PhilSys PSA,

8673
07:55:30,440 --> 07:55:32,240
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: we can also do the forecasting.

8674
07:55:32,440 --> 07:55:36,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So ngayon po, can we assume that in the future,

8675
07:55:36,440 --> 07:55:42,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the 2027 budget, hindi pa accurate yung number na nabudgetan ninyo?

8676
07:55:42,440 --> 07:55:47,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Given that you still haven't done the study on this forecasting model?

8677
07:55:47,440 --> 07:55:59,560
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: The numbers that we have given for the 2027 NEP came from the numbers of PSA.

8678
07:55:59,760 --> 07:56:00,560
NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit: PSA?

8679
07:56:00,760 --> 07:56:02,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: PSA na census po yon.

8680
07:56:02,760 --> 07:56:04,110
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So should be, Sec Rex?

8681
07:56:04,110 --> 07:56:04,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ayoko na ho.

8682
07:56:04,760 --> 07:56:07,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ayoko na ho makipag-back and forth kasi mahaba na ho.

8683
07:56:07,760 --> 07:56:09,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: A couple of things.

8684
07:56:09,760 --> 07:56:11,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The PhilSys is coded.

8685
07:56:11,760 --> 07:56:14,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So hindi mo talaga makukuha yung PhilSys ng lahat ng mamamayan.

8686
07:56:14,760 --> 07:56:16,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi talaga ibibigay sa iyo yun.

8687
07:56:16,760 --> 07:56:22,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero yung CBMS, that law has a very clear escape mechanism.

8688
07:56:22,760 --> 07:56:26,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pag social protection, lahat kami dapat doon humahango.

8689
07:56:26,760 --> 07:56:30,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Puwedeng ibigay yun with a simple data sharing agreement.

8690
07:56:30,760 --> 07:56:33,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Iniwan na ho namin yan bago namin tinurnover.

8691
07:56:33,760 --> 07:56:35,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nakiusap kami na yun ang gamitin.

8692
07:56:35,560 --> 07:56:40,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero parang hihingin mo yung buong PhilSys database.

8693
07:56:40,560 --> 07:56:46,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi ho talaga ibibigay yun because nandoon yung mga codes natin lahat as individual citizens.

8694
07:56:46,560 --> 07:56:51,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Again, we can have a discussion separately, pagpatawag ho kami ng Kongreso,

8695
07:56:51,560 --> 07:56:54,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but the budgeting kasi is getting affected by this.

8696
07:56:54,560 --> 07:56:58,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Parang it's turning into a habol nang habol every year

8697
07:56:58,560 --> 07:57:00,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi post eh.

8698
07:57:00,560 --> 07:57:02,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mag-a-apply sila online,

8699
07:57:02,360 --> 07:57:06,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: katulad doon ng kaso natin sa Pampanga na kami ho ang hinabol ng mga tao.

8700
07:57:06,360 --> 07:57:09,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nasa bundok sila, mga Aeta ho sila,

8701
07:57:09,360 --> 07:57:11,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: natural hindi sila makakapag-apply.

8702
07:57:11,360 --> 07:57:13,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At walang technical know-how yung mga yun.

8703
07:57:13,360 --> 07:57:16,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero if we just project na nandun sila,

8704
07:57:16,360 --> 07:57:21,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because sa CBMS, again, it's not perfect, but it gives you a stronger confidence level.

8705
07:57:21,360 --> 07:57:24,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Then we can just go to them, validate it physically.

8706
07:57:24,360 --> 07:57:30,160
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Para ho meron tayong some type of a closer estimate kung ilan ho sila.

8707
07:57:30,360 --> 07:57:32,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Secrex.

8708
07:57:32,360 --> 07:57:38,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kong Mila, being the chairperson of the Committee on Senior Citizens,

8709
07:57:38,360 --> 07:57:41,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: maybe this is something that you can also facilitate.

8710
07:57:41,360 --> 07:57:49,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: A discussion with all the agencies involved to fine-tune this forecasting system.

8711
07:57:49,360 --> 07:57:56,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Just so in the next budget cycle, or even baka po makahabol pa before the end of this budget cycle, maayos na natin

8712
07:57:56,360 --> 07:58:00,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po hindi, as Secrex was saying and as I was saying,

8713
07:58:00,360 --> 07:58:02,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: mag-accrue lahat po ng

8714
07:58:02,360 --> 07:58:04,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: hindi pa nire-release,

8715
07:58:04,360 --> 07:58:06,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: lahat po ng delay sa releases.

8716
07:58:06,360 --> 07:58:08,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, thank you, Secrex.

8717
07:58:08,360 --> 07:58:10,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'll move to the next.

8718
07:58:10,360 --> 07:58:15,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If I may ask a few questions on some of the items that have been raised

8719
07:58:15,360 --> 07:58:22,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for consideration of the BARC for additional funding for DSWD.

8720
07:58:22,360 --> 07:58:30,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The others po, we've done it last year naman yung mga change in PAP names and the like.

8721
07:58:30,160 --> 07:58:33,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, Secrex, the first one that I wanted to highlight,

8722
07:58:34,160 --> 07:58:40,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the reversion ng QRF to its fiscal year 2026 level of Php3 billion.

8723
07:58:41,160 --> 07:58:42,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I support you completely on that.

8724
07:58:43,160 --> 07:58:46,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, it's really just very practical to do that.

8725
07:58:47,160 --> 07:58:49,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Just so you don't have to liquidate every single time.

8726
07:58:50,160 --> 07:58:51,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, we support you on that.

8727
07:58:52,160 --> 07:58:55,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I will advocate for that during the BARC kasi

8728
07:58:56,160 --> 07:58:57,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: naramdaman ninyo po ba, Secrex,

8729
07:58:57,960 --> 07:59:00,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: malaki talaga yung diperensya nung tinaas na natin sa 3 billion?

8730
07:59:00,960 --> 07:59:01,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yes, Madam Chair.

8731
07:59:01,960 --> 07:59:03,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: In fact, we're very grateful, as mentioned a while ago.

8732
07:59:03,960 --> 07:59:06,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi ngayon yung kalamidad ranges from the north all the way to the south.

8733
07:59:06,960 --> 07:59:10,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So sabay-sabay, multi-region, 1.2 billion may sound big,

8734
07:59:10,960 --> 07:59:18,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pero pagka ipaghahati-hati mo yun between procuring food, getting logistics and emergency cash transfer,

8735
07:59:18,960 --> 07:59:19,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kulang na kulang yun.

8736
07:59:19,960 --> 07:59:21,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero mabilis ho ang DBM.

8737
07:59:21,960 --> 07:59:24,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Undersecretary Kim and former Secretary Mina, 5 days.

8738
07:59:24,960 --> 07:59:27,760
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero five days, three to five days pa rin yun

8739
07:59:27,760 --> 07:59:29,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: while itong 3 billion nase-stretch

8740
07:59:29,760 --> 07:59:31,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: namin yun bago kami mag-reimburse.

8741
07:59:31,760 --> 07:59:34,560
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, much appreciated that you see it from our point of view.

8742
07:59:34,760 --> 07:59:35,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Secrex.

8743
07:59:35,760 --> 07:59:38,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Again, our full support with regard to that.

8744
07:59:38,760 --> 07:59:41,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We and Kong Raman will advocate for it in the BARC.

8745
07:59:41,760 --> 07:59:47,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The next would be social pension for indigent senior citizens.

8746
07:59:47,760 --> 07:59:52,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, this 6.8 billion is on top of what's already there in the NEP.

8747
07:59:52,760 --> 07:59:55,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: How is it in comparison to the 2026 GAA?

8748
07:59:55,560 --> 08:00:00,000
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The 2026 GAA is very close, slightly above

8749
08:00:00,000 --> 08:00:09,140
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lang from the NEP right now by five hundred maliit lang yung discrepancy nila kasi ang

8750
08:00:09,140 --> 08:00:13,700
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: binagdag lang around three hundred thousand beneficiaries but alam natin mas malaki yung

8751
08:00:13,700 --> 08:00:20,120
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: catchment dapat so this is really on top of what we're of where we're getting to cover more senior

8752
08:00:20,120 --> 08:00:26,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: citizen for the social pension thank you thank you Secrex well we'll take note of this as well

8753
08:00:26,420 --> 08:00:34,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: um next would be the sigurpo um in the interest of time but this is something that also Secrex

8754
08:00:34,200 --> 08:00:41,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: raised earlier today the one billion for SLP so um I believe you you laid it out very well as to

8755
08:00:41,360 --> 08:00:48,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: how many beneficiaries would stand to um lose their benefits or not not not avail of it rather

8756
08:00:48,520 --> 08:00:53,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if hindi po natin mapondohan to so we'll take this into consideration as well Secrex and

8757
08:00:53,600 --> 08:00:56,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: finally po I think the biggest hinuliko

8758
08:00:56,400 --> 08:01:04,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because it's the biggest um request um here is an additional 43.1 billion pesos for the assistance

8759
08:01:04,560 --> 08:01:11,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to individuals in crisis situations um AICs um because as we know ang laki po talaga nung binaba

8760
08:01:11,760 --> 08:01:18,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: noong um level ng AICs mula po sa 2026 ga ah um as compared to the NEP level currently at 33

8761
08:01:18,880 --> 08:01:26,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion um Secrex you really laid it out very well um in in in the slide you presented earlier

8762
08:01:26,400 --> 08:01:34,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as to how critical a role um AICs played um this past year especially um in terms of responding

8763
08:01:34,480 --> 08:01:41,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to the crisis um that we did not anticipate of course um the middle east crisis all of the

8764
08:01:41,280 --> 08:01:50,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: um disasters all of the climate um related um challenges that have have um that has happened

8765
08:01:50,400 --> 08:01:56,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the last year so Sigur Secrex if I may po may I request you to just highlight the

8766
08:01:56,400 --> 08:02:03,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that Sigur as as a way to just um uh end the discussion today um may I request you to again

8767
08:02:03,840 --> 08:02:10,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: uh present that slide um showing the Sigur essentially um explaining to us the need for

8768
08:02:10,880 --> 08:02:18,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the 43.1 billion additional and I'm sure full disclosure uh the uh NEP value versus the 2026

8769
08:02:18,560 --> 08:02:26,240
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: GAA is short by 30 billion, not 48. We just put 48 kasi we saw the unexpected utilization this year

8770
08:02:26,400 --> 08:02:33,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ng energy emergency. So if you can look at 2025, ang amount natin na allotment was 44 billion,

8771
08:02:33,920 --> 08:02:41,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and we still got another 14 billion from the UA. And you can imagine that we served around 9.4

8772
08:02:41,920 --> 08:02:44,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: million thereabouts. And then noong 2025,

8773
08:02:47,120 --> 08:02:55,360
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: noong itinaas po ninyo ang value to 63 billion, we were able to serve again a target of 8.715 million.

8774
08:02:57,040 --> 08:03:02,960
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At this point in time, 70 percent is already fully utilized, faster than what we thought, because 10 billion,

8775
08:03:02,960 --> 08:03:06,800
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: close to 10 billion, 9 billion went to the energy emergency this summer.

8776
08:03:09,600 --> 08:03:13,280
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At patuloy ho tayong kumukuha diyan ngayon because of the various state of calamities across the country.

8777
08:03:15,360 --> 08:03:19,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now, just to do the simplistic math, if you look at 2027

8778
08:03:19,520 --> 08:03:26,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at manatili tayo sa 33 billion, at hindi ninyo kami ibabalik sa NEP level man lang,

8779
08:03:26,400 --> 08:03:35,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we stand to lose around, we stand to turn away around 4,085,631 real people with real

8780
08:03:35,400 --> 08:03:42,080
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: crisis na sasabihin namin, pagpasensyahan niyo na po, pero hindi na available ang social welfare. I think

8781
08:03:42,080 --> 08:03:47,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we'll be doing everybody a disservice by not advocating for this as an institutional amendment

8782
08:03:47,940 --> 08:03:50,380
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or request that we are pushing for.

8783
08:03:50,380 --> 08:03:53,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Secrex. Just wanted to ask a little bit more on

8784
08:03:53,960 --> 08:04:01,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the 2026 figures the 63.4 billion as you said has been 70 percent utilized as of now but that

8785
08:04:01,660 --> 08:04:07,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: does that already include the additional funding that would emanate from uplift or

8786
08:04:07,040 --> 08:04:07,878
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: iba pa po yan?

8787
08:04:07,878 --> 08:04:15,600
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Wala pa ho, wala pa ho. Yun straight out lang and to include the first round of transport assistance, the 10 billion. But even

8788
08:04:15,600 --> 08:04:22,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that was projected initially to cover our regular AICS requirements. So kaya nga kami nagpapa-augment

8789
08:04:22,840 --> 08:04:23,900
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi kailan ibabalik

8790
08:04:23,900 --> 08:04:23,940
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa

8791
08:04:23,940 --> 08:04:47,840
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: amin yun. Dahil kung hindi, kakapusin naman ho yung departamento. Doon lang nga kung titingnan n'yo lang yung 63, short na nga ho tayo kaya kami nagpapa-augment kasi we took around 9 billion to 10 billion to supply the transport workers last summer. So very understanding naman ho ang DBM and they are already finding mechanisms to augment us for September, October, November, December.

8792
08:04:47,840 --> 08:04:53,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, Secrex, looking at the 2026 expenditure and the needs for

8793
08:04:53,880 --> 08:05:20,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: AICS by the end of this year po, what would be the full year need for AICS? Kasi you have the 63 billion that's there in the GAA plus yung 10 billion na expend for the transport allowance subsidy. So is it safe to assume, just from looking at that, roughly 70 billion po yung utilization na AICS for this year?

8794
08:05:20,160 --> 08:05:23,420
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yes, 75 thereabouts. 70 to 75. But

8795
08:05:23,880 --> 08:05:42,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: wag naman ho sana pero hindi pa tapos yung taon and these next months will be the challenging months because of the impending El Nino the recovery ng earthquake the recovery ng bagyo ng habagat pati na rin ho yung RSSI sa Negros Island regions so talagang we're stretching it thin to be honest

8796
08:05:42,400 --> 08:05:52,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: thank you secrex so the 75 billion kaya po siya yung 33 billion plus the 43 billion requested lands you somewhere in the into the 75 billion

8797
08:05:52,760 --> 08:05:53,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as uh

8798
08:05:53,880 --> 08:06:23,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: based on the historical need for for 2000 utilization utilization rather thank you thank you secrex um yun po kasi yung biggest line item in the request so I wanted to to um ask a little bit more on that so um secrex as you mentioned there are three to four uh major items still that you haven't uh captured in this request um may we know po by when you would be able to give it would it be possible to have it by tomorrow

8799
08:06:23,000 --> 08:06:23,860
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: They're typing it up

8800
08:06:23,880 --> 08:06:24,880
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: right now

8801
08:06:24,880 --> 08:06:28,180
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and I will be furnishing the committee as early as tonight.

8802
08:06:28,180 --> 08:06:32,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Okay, so I was going to say 12 noon tomorrow but if you could give it to us by...

8803
08:06:32,560 --> 08:06:39,980
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Maagap po ng ano? Panalo ang maagap kesa yung masipag eh. Daig ng maagap yung masipag. So maagap po kami.

8804
08:06:39,980 --> 08:06:41,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Secrex,

8805
08:06:41,000 --> 08:06:45,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because we're hoping to convene the Bar C soon at the soonest possible time.

8806
08:06:45,880 --> 08:06:50,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So for us to be able to take all of these into consideration for the deliberation of the Bar C,

8807
08:06:50,880 --> 08:06:51,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we'll request

8808
08:06:51,460 --> 08:06:51,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po.

8809
08:06:52,520 --> 08:06:58,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But if we have it by tonight, perfect po, Secrex, kasi the deadline actually for even the other departments

8810
08:06:58,680 --> 08:07:05,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that were deliberated on this week is tomorrow lunchtime. But we'll wait for that po, Secrex.

8811
08:07:05,640 --> 08:07:12,360
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: I think that's it. Um, Madam Chair, how about an additional funding for Home for the Aged?

8812
08:07:12,360 --> 08:07:36,360
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: Kasi apat po yung Home for the Aged nila eh. Ang dami-dami na pong abandoned and homeless senior citizens ngayon because maybe due to hardship of life, pina-abandona na yung mga senior citizen ng mga anak. So kailangan po yung mapuntahan nila. So maybe we can have additional funding for Home for the Aged

8813
08:07:36,360 --> 08:07:53,220
Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay: para makapagpatayo pa ho tayo, o kaya yung arrangement po sa mga private home cares, puwede rin po yun. So baka po puwedeng magka-additional funding tayo for that.

8814
08:07:53,220 --> 08:08:07,640
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Madam Chair, we thought of a creative way last year with your help, a PPP style wherein huwag na tayong magtayo, mag-refer na lang tayo sa mga accredited. Nandiyan na rin ho sa listahan yung cost of care provision.

8815
08:08:07,640 --> 08:08:10,920
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's here po, Kong Mila. I'll show it to you.

8816
08:08:12,360 --> 08:08:18,200
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But essentially what we're doing is within the current funding that's available to DSWD,

8817
08:08:18,280 --> 08:08:29,400
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: mayroon na pong ganong modality wherein there's an arrangement with private providers. And then yun na lang po, gamit na yung existing resources ng DSWD.

8818
08:08:29,400 --> 08:08:34,440
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we've already, we started that last year and we'll make sure we still

8819
08:08:34,440 --> 08:08:36,780
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: have that modality for 2027.

8820
08:08:36,780 --> 08:08:42,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you po. I think that's it. It's been, how many hours has it been? It's been

8821
08:08:42,360 --> 08:08:48,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: close to nine hours since the start of the deliberations of DSWD. I think po, given
