The instruction of the asr-000250 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:29.060 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: president is clear.

We are pleased to report that the DSWD achieved a near 100% utilization rate as of asr-000255 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.780 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: July 2026. For fiscal year asr-000256 00:15:58.780 --> 00:16:00.040 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 2026, asr-000258 00:16:00.040 --> 00:16:10.040 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The DSWD has so far utilized 70% of the agency-specific budget of $262.9 billion.

Work harder, work faster and work smarter. asr-000261 00:16:26.920 --> 00:16:28.760 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We should not waste resources, and every peso asr-000262 00:16:28.760 --> 00:16:31.520 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: appropriated to the DSWD asr-000263 00:16:31.520 --> 00:16:38.160 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is a lifeline for beneficiaries in need. By directing our budget towards people centers investments, asr-000264 00:16:39.680 --> 00:16:44.720 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we bring our mandate to life, protect people in crises so that it would not become a long-term asr-000265 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:49.920 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: setback, promote human development to improve people's capabilities and opportunities, asr-000266 00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:50.760 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Prevent asr-000267 00:16:50.760 --> 00:16:53.440 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: abuse and exploitation of people in asr-000268 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:55.420 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: vulnerable situations. And asr-000269 00:16:55.460 --> 00:16:58.540 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: transform people's lives by addressing structural barriers asr-000270 00:16:58.540 --> 00:17:06.020 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that reproduce poverty and exclusion. So in DSWD, these four roles are interconnected asr-000271 00:17:06.020 --> 00:17:12.200 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and social protection is the bridge, not the destination. The goal is not simply to help asr-000272 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:19.420 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: people survive today, but government must work to give them a fairer chance to move forward. asr-000273 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:25.120 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: With this implementation track record as a backdrop, we now present the DSWD's asr-000274 00:17:25.120 --> 00:17:31.520 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Families Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2027.

But beyond asr-000324 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 asr-000325 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, asr-000326 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 asr-000327 00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:24.500 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: by the president, asr-000328 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. asr-000329 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. asr-000330 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, asr-000331 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. asr-000332 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. asr-000333 00:23:05.180 --> 00:23:10.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: This assistance helped 1.839 million transport workers nationwide. asr-000334 00:23:11.580 --> 00:23:17.060 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: A rapid assessment by the SWS Commission by the Australia Spring Programme asr-000335 00:23:17.060 --> 00:23:22.980 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: confirms that our cash relief assistance delivered immediate, decisive, impactful, and overwhelming asr-000336 00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:23.900 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: with asr-000337 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, asr-000338 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. asr-000339 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. asr-000340 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 asr-000341 00:23:54.060 --> 00:23:56.300 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: grants or subsidy being received by asr-000342 00:23:56.300 --> 00:24:04.980 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: existing beneficiaries of social protection programs.

To accomplish this, asr-000344 00:24:10.060 --> 00:24:15.820 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we used the CBMS data to locate the poor, near-poor, asr-000345 00:24:15.820 --> 00:24:19.110 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and low-income and provide monthly assistance to them. asr-000346 00:24:19.110 --> 00:24:21.160 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: As of today, we have provided asr-000347 00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:22.480 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Uplift assistance to asr-000348 00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:23.560 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 5.75 asr-000349 00:24:23.560 --> 00:24:25.200 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: million households. asr-000350 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 asr-000351 00:24:29.260 --> 00:24:35.880 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the country's flagship investment in human capital development.

number asr-000409 00:29:44.580 --> 00:29:50.020 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pegged against poverty statistics we continue to improve our exit and graduation processes asr-000410 00:29:50.020 --> 00:29:54.180 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we employ stringent social case management and evaluate household well-being asr-000411 00:29:54.180 --> 00:29:59.780 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: using the social welfare and development indicator tool or 3d tool actively moving asr-000412 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.520 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: families along the path from survival to subsistence towards self-sufficiency according to the asr-000413 00:30:05.520 --> 00:30:09.240 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: statutory program guidelines under the four-piece program. asr-000414 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 asr-000415 00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:19.240 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: circumstances of these families derived from PSA CBMS data are highly dynamic. asr-000416 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 asr-000417 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 asr-000418 00:30:29.180 --> 00:30:33.080 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or they are no longer qualified under the program guidelines. asr-000419 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 asr-000420 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. asr-000421 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 asr-000422 00:30:49.520 --> 00:30:55.680 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: not only limited to 10% above the poverty threshold, but up to 25% above the poverty asr-000423 00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:56.680 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: threshold. asr-000424 00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:59.160 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Because these are households with the same characteristics. asr-000425 00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:07.060 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The government's hope for the future of all four-piece beneficiaries is clear. asr-000426 00:31:07.060 --> 00:31:11.700 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Help them while they are in the program and provide them with crutches when they achieve asr-000427 00:31:11.700 --> 00:31:17.080 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: self-sufficiency through education, either tertiary or technical vocation that will give asr-000428 00:31:17.080 --> 00:31:22.280 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: them the skills to have income, whether from employment or entrepreneurship. asr-000429 00:31:22.280 --> 00:31:28.400 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: With this recent enactment of Republic Act No. 12325, tertiary education subsidies now asr-000430 00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:34.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: prioritizes four-piece beneficiaries, guaranteeing our youth top-tier access to college and vocational asr-000431 00:31:34.860 --> 00:31:37.360 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: degrees. asr-000432 00:31:37.360 --> 00:31:42.360 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: On disaster response, QRF provides the DSWD the flexibility to immediately respond and asr-000433 00:31:42.360 --> 00:31:46.740 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: provide timely assistance before, during, and after emergencies. asr-000434 00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:52.060 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Our accomplishments on QRF use has been encouraging. asr-000435 00:31:52.060 --> 00:31:56.020 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We would like the families affected by disaster to feel that government is present during asr-000436 00:31:56.020 --> 00:31:57.300 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the times that they need us. asr-000437 00:31:57.300 --> 00:31:58.300 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We have a range of assistance. asr-000438 00:31:58.300 --> 00:32:02.820 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We have already utilized 100% of the 2025 allotment and replenishments. asr-000439 00:32:02.820 --> 00:32:09.300 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For 2026, we have utilized 10.4 billion of the 12.6 billion released from QRF. asr-000440 00:32:09.300 --> 00:32:12.380 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Our strategy on disaster response is simple. asr-000441 00:32:12.380 --> 00:32:18.360 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Try to be omnipresent and always armed with adequate relief on food and non-food items. asr-000442 00:32:18.360 --> 00:32:24.340 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We now have a nationwide network of 1,031 warehouses with pre-positioned goods with asr-000443 00:32:24.340 --> 00:32:28.260 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a storage capacity of more than 5.1 million family-focused. asr-000444 00:32:28.260 --> 00:32:32.820 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We have a total of 3.4 million food boxes and a current stockpile of 3.4 million FFPs asr-000445 00:32:32.820 --> 00:32:35.460 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as of September 4, 2023. asr-000446 00:32:35.460 --> 00:32:39.220 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We have also modernized production in our disaster resource center, allowing us to produce asr-000447 00:32:39.220 --> 00:32:45.420 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: up to 63,000 FFPs per 8-hour shift and replenish stocks immediately when needed. asr-000448 00:32:45.420 --> 00:32:50.500 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: In 2025 alone, we produce 7.2 family food boxes nationwide. asr-000449 00:32:50.500 --> 00:32:55.580 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: These are complemented by emergency cash transfers and cash for work providing immediate financial asr-000450 00:32:55.580 --> 00:32:58.260 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: support while helping affected families recover and rebuild asr-000452 00:32:58.260 --> 00:33:05.720 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: their livelihoods. In 2025, 1.3 million families received financial relief through emergency cash transfers asr-000453 00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:07.500 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and cash for work. asr-000454 00:33:07.500 --> 00:33:13.280 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Another major investment is social pension for indigent senior citizens. asr-000455 00:33:13.280 --> 00:33:18.120 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For elderly beneficiaries, social pension provides an important layer of income security. asr-000456 00:33:18.120 --> 00:33:25.160 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For 2025, we have served 4.11 million beneficiaries for 2026. asr-000457 00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:27.260 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Our utilization stands at 77.74. asr-000458 00:33:27.260 --> 00:33:32.600 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Because we are in the progress process of enrolling new beneficiaries, the goal is to asr-000459 00:33:32.600 --> 00:33:37.880 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: serve as many older persons using our allotment of 51 billion pesos. asr-000460 00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:45.300 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For 2027, our NEP is at 51.6 billion, of which 50.8 billion is allocated for subsidies. asr-000461 00:33:45.300 --> 00:33:52.580 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Based on available CBMS data, we estimate that at least 550,000 older persons remain asr-000462 00:33:52.580 --> 00:33:54.280 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: unserved. asr-000463 00:33:54.280 --> 00:33:55.300 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We therefore appeal to this honorable asr-000465 00:33:55.300 --> 00:34:00.260 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: August body to cover these older persons under our program next year. asr-000466 00:34:00.260 --> 00:34:05.520 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For the social pension program, we made a strategic shift to make implementation simpler, asr-000467 00:34:05.520 --> 00:34:09.020 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: fairer and more responsive to older persons. asr-000468 00:34:09.020 --> 00:34:13.340 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: This supports our goal of achieving the progressive realization of universal social pension. asr-000469 00:34:13.340 --> 00:34:16.440 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: First, we remove administrative barriers. asr-000470 00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:21.580 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We recognize that older persons already face multiple vulnerabilities because of age. asr-000471 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. asr-000472 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 asr-000473 00:34:32.260 --> 00:34:40.660 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: may reside with enrollment prioritized strictly by age patanda requirement your mr chair second asr-000474 00:34:40.660 --> 00:34:45.940 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we shifted to psa data driven targeting there is no need to apply as a rule when your name is in asr-000475 00:34:45.940 --> 00:34:53.620 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the cbms data upon confirmation from sss gsis p vow that you are not a pensioner you will be asr-000476 00:34:53.620 --> 00:34:58.660 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: located by our field personnel to validate eligibility under our program guidelines asr-000477 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 asr-000478 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 asr-000479 00:35:10.020 --> 00:35:16.580 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: referrals from lgus for those 70 years old and above if you belong to that age category and you asr-000480 00:35:16.580 --> 00:35:21.940 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: are not in the cbms data we will process your application by checking with psa if you are in asr-000481 00:35:21.940 --> 00:35:23.140 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: their civil registry asr-000482 00:35:23.620 --> 00:35:28.660 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: meaning the birth registry and at the same time not in the death registry making the process asr-000483 00:35:28.660 --> 00:35:34.580 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: easier for older persons this presupposes as well cross-checking that you are not an active asr-000484 00:35:34.580 --> 00:35:40.180 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pensioner and finally looking beyond the traditional welfare the swd's leading regional asr-000485 00:35:40.180 --> 00:35:46.180 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: efforts across asean to unlocking the potential of the silver economy recognizing older persons asr-000486 00:35:46.180 --> 00:35:52.340 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: not only as beneficiaries but also contributors to the community and the economy social pen asr-000487 00:35:52.340 --> 00:35:53.540 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: protection must not stop asr-000488 00:35:53.620 --> 00:35:57.220 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: providing assistance through the sustainable livelihood program we help families and asr-000489 00:35:57.220 --> 00:36:01.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: communities develop opportunities to generate income and become economically self-reliant asr-000490 00:36:01.860 --> 00:36:06.820 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the program represents an important bridge between social protection and economic empowerment asr-000491 00:36:06.820 --> 00:36:14.980 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for fiscal year 2025 slp utilize essentially the full allocation with 100 percent of the 6.2 asr-000492 00:36:14.980 --> 00:36:23.460 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: billion obligated in 98.71 percent disburse assisting 275 thousand 478 poor family households asr-000493 00:36:23.620 --> 00:36:33.540 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or 100.71 percent of its target for fiscal year 2026 4.5 billion or 84.29 has been obligated as of asr-000494 00:36:33.540 --> 00:36:43.780 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: july with 186 736 poor household assisted for fiscal year 2027 the nep is at 5.1 billion including 3.1 asr-000495 00:36:43.780 --> 00:36:50.900 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: billion in subsidies to assist 251 449 poor household as will be shown in the next slide asr-000496 00:36:53.620 --> 00:37:00.020 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: its financial performance in client reach more import more than two years ago we revamped the asr-000497 00:37:00.020 --> 00:37:05.780 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: implementation of the slp to ensure that livelihood assistance does not remain one of in a one-off asr-000498 00:37:05.780 --> 00:37:11.700 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: engagement but rather a sustained pathway toward livelihood sustainability one of the key shifts asr-000499 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 asr-000500 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 asr-000501 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 asr-000502 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 asr-000503 00:37:29.640 --> 00:37:33.200 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to grow and become viable sources of income. asr-000504 00:37:33.200 --> 00:37:36.340 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We are also broadening the way that we support beneficiaries. asr-000505 00:37:36.340 --> 00:37:41.500 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We are not limited to traditional approach of producing and promoting SLP products. asr-000506 00:37:41.500 --> 00:37:46.200 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We are strengthening marketing linkages and helping beneficiaries become more competitive asr-000507 00:37:46.200 --> 00:37:51.420 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: through new channels, including digital and online selling platforms such as TikTok. asr-000508 00:37:51.420 --> 00:37:56.300 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We have seen this approach work particularly for viable enterprises, including larger and asr-000509 00:37:56.300 --> 00:37:59.080 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: more innovative livelihood opportunities. asr-000510 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 asr-000511 00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:10.900 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: development with government investment linked to viability, market access, and the capacity asr-000512 00:38:10.900 --> 00:38:13.340 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of beneficiaries to compete. asr-000513 00:38:13.340 --> 00:38:17.820 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The department also continues to provide residential and center-based services for individuals asr-000514 00:38:17.820 --> 00:38:21.000 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: who require more intense and sustained care. asr-000515 00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:25.460 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: This includes children, older persons, people with disabilities, and other individuals asr-000516 00:38:25.460 --> 00:38:28.600 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: whose circumstances require specialized intervention. asr-000517 00:38:28.600 --> 00:38:36.480 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For fiscal year 2025, we served 9,620 clients, exceeding a target by 11.34%, while in fiscal asr-000518 00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:43.200 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: year 2026, 8,067 clients have already been served as of this reporting period. asr-000519 00:38:43.200 --> 00:38:48.220 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: For fiscal year 2027, we are proposing 3.3 billion to continue these specialized services asr-000520 00:38:48.220 --> 00:38:50.660 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: with a target of 8,640 clients. asr-000521 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 asr-000522 00:38:55.960 --> 00:39:00.280 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: capable of delivering quality social welfare services. asr-000523 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 asr-000524 00:39:04.600 --> 00:39:09.940 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and infrastructure constraints of our residential care and center-based facilities. asr-000525 00:39:09.940 --> 00:39:13.620 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At present, DSWD manages 77 facilities. asr-000526 00:39:13.620 --> 00:39:19.000 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Of these, 11 facilities, or 14.3%, were established 50 years ago. asr-000527 00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:20.000 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Or earlier. asr-000529 00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:22.000 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Or earlier. asr-000530 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:26.400 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: While another 35 facilities are already 30 to 49 years old. asr-000531 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 asr-000532 00:39:30.980 --> 00:39:31.980 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: care. asr-000533 00:39:31.980 --> 00:39:36.920 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We are therefore pursuing facilities upgrading and service expansion. asr-000534 00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:41.840 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At the same time, we are implementing a cost-of-care subsidy for registered licensed and accredited asr-000535 00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:46.060 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: private residential-based social welfare agencies. asr-000536 00:39:46.060 --> 00:39:50.760 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: This allows us to expand the capacity of the social welfare system by working with qualified asr-000537 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. asr-000538 00:39:57.820 --> 00:40:04.840 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The Department is also implementing innovative

Baronda: During my first term as Congresswoman in 2019, may lista po si Listahanan. asr-001267 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. asr-001268 01:05:12.660 --> 01:05:13.080 Rep. Julienne "Jam" L.

Loaded ho kasi yung question, but allow me to expound further. asr-001284 01:06:32.680 --> 01:06:35.900 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Una ko, listahanan was the main database of the government. asr-001285 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. asr-001286 01:06:42.460 --> 01:06:45.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Unfortunately, listahanan na nire-refer nyo, just pabalik tanaw ko lang, asr-001287 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, asr-001288 01:06:50.360 --> 01:06:53.580 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but because hindi natapos yung survey ng listahanan because COVID. asr-001289 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, asr-001290 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. asr-001291 01:07:02.720 --> 01:07:03.600 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Unforeseen circumstance. asr-001292 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. asr-001293 01:07:08.360 --> 01:07:10.940 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: No government agency can craft a new database. asr-001294 01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:14.660 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ayon sa batas, lahat kami ang gagamitin na namin CBMS. asr-001295 01:07:15.080 --> 01:07:18.760 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So ma'am, the first question, kami ang in-charge sa implementation, asr-001296 01:07:18.760 --> 01:07:23.580 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: but the targeting in the list comes from PSA using CBMS. asr-001297 01:07:23.600 --> 01:07:26.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: DepDev at PSA, anak ho nila 'yon. asr-001298 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, asr-001299 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. asr-001300 01:07:36.600 --> 01:07:42.600 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Merong 20 to 30% na exclusion, inclusion error. asr-001301 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, asr-001302 01:07:48.600 --> 01:07:53.440 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: etong CBMS na to, medyo napakalaki ng exclusion at inclusion. asr-001303 01:07:53.600 --> 01:07:54.600 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Napakalaki. asr-001304 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. asr-001305 01:08:00.600 --> 01:08:03.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Dahil nga, we need to do the validation on the ground. asr-001306 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, asr-001307 01:08:09.600 --> 01:08:11.600 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na makarating yon sa nangangailangan. asr-001308 01:08:11.600 --> 01:08:13.600 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi dun sa hindi nangangailangan. asr-001309 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. asr-001310 01:08:19.600 --> 01:08:21.600 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's why nagmamanual ho kami. asr-001311 01:08:21.600 --> 01:08:23.600 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Dahil sa manual process namin nakikita, asr-001312 01:08:23.600 --> 01:08:25.600 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: totoong tao pa ba to?

Ang naging partner po namin doon is the asr-001829 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 asr-001830 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. asr-001831 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 asr-001832 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 asr-001833 01:32:24.000 --> 01:32:27.280 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: always believe in community approaches kung saan we asr-001834 01:32:27.280 --> 01:32:30.340 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: empower the community to take care of the community. asr-001835 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? asr-001836 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 asr-001837 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. asr-001838 01:32:44.320 --> 01:32:49.920 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Para po sa huling katanungan, given the recent school shootings na nagpapakita asr-001839 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 asr-001840 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? asr-001841 01:33:02.110 --> 01:33:04.080 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Madam, Mr. Chair, we're veering away not asr-001842 01:33:04.080 --> 01:33:07.920 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: just from WeSupport. Kami, we've been working with the Masayang Pamilyang asr-001843 01:33:07.920 --> 01:33:11.760 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: organisasyon, yung Masayang Pamilyang Pilipino organization asr-001844 01:33:11.760 --> 01:33:15.920 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for the longest time. These are people from the academe, asr-001845 01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:19.600 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: most notably si Professor Alampay, who is one of the more senior asr-001846 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. asr-001847 01:33:24.920 --> 01:33:28.700 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we've revamped the 4Ps Family Development Sessions to strengthen asr-001848 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. asr-001849 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 asr-001850 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 asr-001851 01:33:52.000 --> 01:33:55.840 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: curriculum ng FDS, ng Family Development Sessions, to asr-001852 01:33:55.840 --> 01:34:00.080 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: incorporate newer newer topics like digital uh asr-001853 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 asr-001854 01:34:04.880 --> 01:34:09.120 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: These are new modules. Number two, yung batas ho na Parent Effectiveness asr-001855 01:34:09.120 --> 01:34:13.440 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: and simula namin roll out and these this one is being done asr-001856 01:34:13.440 --> 01:34:17.360 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: together with edu child another known family oriented asr-001857 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, asr-001858 01:34:22.620 --> 01:34:24.460 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung long-term ho, we do the asr-001859 01:34:24.460 --> 01:34:27.840 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sana huwag na maulit, but we do the post kung asr-001860 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 asr-001861 01:34:33.120 --> 01:34:35.840 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: disasters, pati mga ganitong insidente. asr-001862 01:34:35.840 --> 01:34:39.200 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero kami, ang approach pa rin namin, strengthening the Filipino families, asr-001863 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. asr-001864 01:34:44.190 --> 01:34:45.840 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair. asr-001865 01:34:45.840 --> 01:34:49.920 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Just a short manifestation dahil wala na po akong time. asr-001866 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 asr-001867 01:34:55.520 --> 01:35:00.080 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: impact sa safety, learning at overall well-being ng kabataan. asr-001868 01:35:00.080 --> 01:35:04.720 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Kaya mahalaga na palakasin ang programang ito bilang preventive at asr-001869 01:35:04.720 --> 01:35:08.320 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: accessible support system para sa ating mga kabataan, asr-001870 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 asr-001871 01:35:13.840 --> 01:35:19.520 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: pondo sa ating Supplemental Feeding Program na mula sa ₱9.56 asr-001872 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 asr-001873 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. asr-001874 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. asr-001875 01:35:45.660 --> 01:35:46.920 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair. asr-001876 01:35:46.920 --> 01:35:47.260 Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you. asr-001877 01:35:47.260 --> 01:35:47.760 Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you. asr-001878 01:35:49.620 --> 01:35:56.140 Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: May we call on Representative Adrian Amatong. asr-001879 01:35:57.180 --> 01:35:58.940 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Thank you very much Mr. Chair. asr-001880 01:35:59.320 --> 01:36:02.900 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Magandang umaga po, Secretary Rex, sa buong DSWD family. asr-001881 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. asr-001882 01:36:08.840 --> 01:36:10.300 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Kaya masaya kami. asr-001883 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. asr-001884 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, asr-001885 01:36:24.920 --> 01:36:27.020 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: eh dahil sa flexibility ng AICS, asr-001889 01:36:27.120 --> 01:36:28.220 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: natutulungan natin sila. asr-001890 01:36:28.940 --> 01:36:30.220 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: So mga thousands po yan. asr-001891 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. asr-001892 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 asr-001893 01:36:42.660 --> 01:36:43.720 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: lalo na mga walang capital. asr-001894 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. asr-001895 01:36:51.780 --> 01:36:52.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ah yes Mr. Chair, asr-001896 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 asr-001897 01:36:57.000 --> 01:36:57.160 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na sana asr-001898 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 asr-001899 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 asr-001900 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 asr-001901 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 asr-001902 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. asr-001903 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 asr-001904 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 asr-001905 01:37:38.520 --> 01:37:45.640 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: dole-outs kasi parang, although natutulungan naman yung local economy, pero asr-001906 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, asr-001907 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. asr-001908 01:37:55.320 --> 01:37:56.120 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: So, Mr. asr-001909 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, asr-001910 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 asr-001911 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 asr-001912 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. asr-001913 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. asr-001914 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. asr-001915 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, asr-001916 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 asr-001917 01:38:52.980 --> 01:38:53.980 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: yung isa, kikilos asr-001918 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 asr-001919 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? asr-001920 01:39:06.010 --> 01:39:09.040 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, for asr-001921 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 asr-001922 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 asr-001923 01:39:18.340 --> 01:39:21.760 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: already downloaded funds from the central office to repair those. asr-001924 01:39:21.760 --> 01:39:27.760 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Admittedly, the regional director who is behind me again should have raised asr-001925 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 asr-001926 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 asr-001927 01:39:34.960 --> 01:39:39.820 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: naming augmentation sa general services na budget namin. asr-001928 01:39:39.820 --> 01:39:43.420 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Mr. Chair, hindi lang ito sa distrito ko, kundi sa buong asr-001929 01:39:43.420 --> 01:39:47.800 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: Pilipinas. Why? Because hirap naman nating i-expect na nakangiti, kailangan asr-001930 01:39:47.800 --> 01:39:51.700 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: nakangiti yung mga DSWD frontliners natin kasi nga asr-001932 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 asr-001933 01:39:56.920 --> 01:40:00.640 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: kung pag umuulan eh iiwas-iwas sila sa tubig, tapos asr-001934 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 asr-001935 01:40:05.520 --> 01:40:10.060 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: maraming kababayan natin. Siguro kasi nagrereklamo din yung mga kliyente niyo asr-001936 01:40:10.060 --> 01:40:14.120 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: pag pumupunta doon, minsan wala silang masilungan nang maayos. So, asr-001937 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. asr-001938 01:40:21.390 --> 01:40:26.580 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, much appreciated. Pero let me just point out again. asr-001939 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 asr-001940 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. asr-001941 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 asr-001942 01:40:41.500 --> 01:40:45.640 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: tongue-lashing and will get more tongue-lashing after this, because hindi asr-001943 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 asr-001944 01:40:51.540 --> 01:40:55.020 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: do appreciate the additional fund augmentation, of course, pero hindi naman asr-001945 01:40:55.020 --> 01:40:58.360 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ho dapat umabot sa ganoon. Admittedly, yung pinakita niyo sa aking mga asr-001946 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. asr-001947 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. asr-001948 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 asr-001949 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 asr-001950 01:41:20.660 --> 01:41:21.540 Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong: the promise of asr-001951 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. asr-001952 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, asr-001953 01:41:34.680 --> 01:41:41.000 Rep. Adrian Michael A.

Abalos: Yet the target number of beneficiaries actually increases by about 151,775 to reach 4.24 million indigent seniors. asr-003099 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? asr-003100 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. asr-003101 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, asr-003102 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. asr-003103 02:15:56.700 --> 02:15:59.980 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Para ho, makover natin yung mga karapat dapat. asr-003104 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. asr-003105 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. asr-003106 02:16:11.860 --> 02:16:16.400 Rep. JC M. Abalos: Before I conclude my interpolation, I want to note something positive. asr-003107 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. asr-003108 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. asr-003109 02:16:26.700 --> 02:16:30.600 Rep. JC M. Abalos: And this reflects the DBM-approved enhanced structure. asr-003110 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, asr-003111 02:16:35.640 --> 02:16:38.180 Rep. JC M. Abalos: some of whom have served the department for over a decade, asr-003112 02:16:38.260 --> 02:16:41.700 Rep. JC M. Abalos: will finally transition into a more contractual or permanent position? asr-003113 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 asr-003114 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. asr-003115 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 asr-003116 02:16:56.360 --> 02:16:57.640 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for championing it. asr-003117 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. asr-003118 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, asr-003119 02:17:11.620 --> 02:17:15.820 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: with a promise kaagad na may buntot pa siyang another 5,000. asr-003120 02:17:17.060 --> 02:17:19.940 Rep.

Alvarez: aside from increasing the funding asr-003779 02:42:50.210 --> 02:42:52.170 Deputy Speaker Mercedes K.

Alvarez: funding for its additional asr-003781 02:42:54.390 --> 02:42:55.990 Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: personnel for their salaries. asr-003782 02:42:56.230 --> 02:42:57.850 Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: At the same time, yung asr-003783 02:42:57.850 --> 02:42:59.650 Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: cost for administration to asr-003784 02:42:59.650 --> 02:43:01.150 Deputy Speaker Mercedes K.

It's asr-003794 02:43:19.710 --> 02:43:21.690 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a line item without legislation asr-003795 02:43:21.690 --> 02:43:23.510 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: to it. In fact, the legislation asr-003796 02:43:23.510 --> 02:43:25.810 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: has moved out of the asr-003797 02:43:25.810 --> 02:43:27.570 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: committee level, the Social Services Committee. asr-003798 02:43:28.010 --> 02:43:29.750 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's now in the appropriations. I think asr-003799 02:43:29.750 --> 02:43:31.970 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that will help cure a lot asr-003800 02:43:31.970 --> 02:43:33.550 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of the problems. Kasi asr-003801 02:43:33.550 --> 02:43:35.670 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that being said, wala rin asr-003802 02:43:35.670 --> 02:43:37.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: plantilya si SLP, asr-003803 02:43:37.670 --> 02:43:38.930 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: di ba? Minimal. asr-003804 02:43:41.590 --> 02:43:43.770 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yeah, it's a minimal plantily, as you know. asr-003805 02:43:44.350 --> 02:43:45.930 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Maraming nga kayong nakokomment asr-003806 02:43:45.930 --> 02:43:47.590 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na they're overworked on their staff. asr-003807 02:43:48.310 --> 02:43:49.710 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, yun lang, maybe the first asr-003808 02:43:49.710 --> 02:43:51.530 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: step is to institutionalize this asr-003809 02:43:51.530 --> 02:43:53.590 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: social development program, the same way asr-003810 02:43:53.590 --> 02:43:55.830 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: we look at the other programs of the SWD. asr-003811 02:43:56.530 --> 02:43:57.810 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If the AICS law is asr-003812 02:43:57.810 --> 02:43:59.770 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: near completion, sana asr-003813 02:43:59.770 --> 02:44:01.730 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the SLP law goes to asr-003814 02:44:01.730 --> 02:44:03.450 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the same fruition in this Congress. asr-003815 02:44:04.130 --> 02:44:05.470 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number two, obviously, asr-003816 02:44:05.670 --> 02:44:07.750 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: funding constraint. As asr-003817 02:44:07.750 --> 02:44:09.830 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: pointed out by Congressman Tino, maraming asr-003818 02:44:09.830 --> 02:44:11.950 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: gumagraduate ng four-piece asr-003819 02:44:11.950 --> 02:44:13.730 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at ang crutch program sana nila will asr-003820 02:44:13.730 --> 02:44:15.370 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: be education or entrepreneurship. asr-003821 02:44:16.070 --> 02:44:17.910 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But the entrepreneurship side, parang asr-003822 02:44:17.910 --> 02:44:19.610 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ang bigat nung binibit-bit niya with asr-003823 02:44:19.610 --> 02:44:22.030 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: only 6 billion in its line item. asr-003824 02:44:22.570 --> 02:44:23.750 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, that is something to asr-003825 02:44:23.750 --> 02:44:25.770 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: look into. And asr-003826 02:44:25.770 --> 02:44:26.850 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: last but not the least, asr-003827 02:44:28.990 --> 02:44:29.330 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the asr-003828 02:44:29.330 --> 02:44:31.530 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: information asr-003829 02:44:31.530 --> 02:44:33.770 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: campaign ng ano yung asr-003830 02:44:33.770 --> 02:44:35.630 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: SLP. I think the SWD, the asr-003831 02:44:35.670 --> 02:44:37.850 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: public knows us more for AICS asr-003832 02:44:37.850 --> 02:44:39.870 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: rather than SLP. Pero asr-003833 02:44:39.870 --> 02:44:41.970 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I'm glad nga na unti-unti in this asr-003834 02:44:41.970 --> 02:44:44.050 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: hearing, a lot of the legislators asr-003835 02:44:44.050 --> 02:44:46.010 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: are finding the value in it. But the general asr-003836 02:44:46.010 --> 02:44:48.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: public has to understand that there's more to us asr-003837 02:44:48.090 --> 02:44:49.190 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: than social welfare. asr-003838 02:44:50.570 --> 02:44:51.930 Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: So, is it safe to say, Mr. asr-003839 02:44:52.110 --> 02:44:53.470 Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Chair, that the good secretary asr-003840 02:44:53.470 --> 02:44:55.170 Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: supports the asr-003841 02:44:55.170 --> 02:44:58.010 Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: institutionalization of SLP as asr-003842 02:44:58.010 --> 02:44:58.550 Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: a law? asr-003842-split-2 02:44:58.550 --> 02:45:00.540 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: A hundred and one percent, Mr. Chair. asr-003843 02:45:00.540 --> 02:45:02.200 Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Versus AICS? asr-003843-split-2 02:45:02.200 --> 02:45:03.000 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Both. asr-003843-split-3 02:45:03.000 --> 02:45:10.720 Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: So, speaking about AICS, Mr. Chair, what will be the effect asr-003844 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? asr-003845 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 asr-003846 02:45:24.480 --> 02:45:26.400 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If we can pull it out. asr-003846-split-2 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 asr-003847 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, asr-003848 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 asr-003849 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. asr-003849-split-2 02:45:51.500 --> 02:45:54.360 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number one, Mr. Chairman, the fear natin, this is a asr-003851 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 asr-003852 02:46:00.100 --> 02:46:06.940 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: from unprogrammed na 14 billion. We were augmented actually kasi kinapos tayo asr-003853 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 asr-003854 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, asr-003855 02:46:20.840 --> 02:46:23.220 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 9.4 million beneficiaries asr-003856 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, asr-003857 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 asr-003858 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 asr-003859 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, asr-003860 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, asr-003861 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 asr-003862 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 asr-003863 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 asr-003864 02:47:19.340 --> 02:47:22.340 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: a next slide. May next slide to? asr-003865 02:47:22.340 --> 02:47:23.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now, asr-003866 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, asr-003867 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. asr-003868 02:47:34.120 --> 02:47:38.300 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The close to 2 million drivers nationwide, asr-003869 02:47:38.540 --> 02:47:43.280 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: of the jeep, tricycle, TNVS, service delivery, asr-003870 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. asr-003871 02:47:47.560 --> 02:47:51.700 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The AICS sort of serves as a standby fund for unforeseen events. asr-003872 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, asr-003873 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 asr-003874 02:48:02.940 --> 02:48:06.700 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: for the crises that we are facing now. asr-003875 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, asr-003876 02:48:12.400 --> 02:48:14.060 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as well as the Senate later on, asr-003877 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. asr-003878 02:48:20.260 --> 02:48:23.920 Deputy Speaker Mercedes K.

Suntay: because andito yung warehouses ng DSWD. asr-003903 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. asr-003904 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? asr-003905 02:50:28.090 --> 02:50:33.430 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C.

Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now, the protective social welfare budget for the SWD was decreased from 131.6 billion in 2026. asr-003935 02:52:41.590 --> 02:52:44.770 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Bumaba ito to 101.4 billion. asr-003936 02:52:47.650 --> 02:52:51.350 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: What component program was affected by this? asr-003937 02:52:51.450 --> 02:52:54.990 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, the biggest is the assistance to individuals in crisis situation. asr-003938 02:52:54.990 --> 02:52:57.770 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 33 billion yung nawala ho doon. asr-003939 02:52:57.950 --> 02:53:00.490 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 30 billion. asr-003940 02:53:01.330 --> 02:53:03.230 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay, 30 billion yung nawala. asr-003941 02:53:03.350 --> 02:53:04.570 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero actually, nadagdag yan. asr-003942 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. asr-003943 02:53:12.050 --> 02:53:16.190 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero inabsorbed ng AICS yung beneficiary ng ACAP. asr-003944 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? asr-003945 02:53:28.210 --> 02:53:30.250 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Dahil there were some co-affirming. asr-003946 02:53:30.250 --> 02:53:31.210 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: They identified. asr-003947 02:53:31.330 --> 02:53:39.010 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: They identified na yung aid distribution, nagkakaroon tayo ng duplication. asr-003948 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. asr-003949 02:53:44.770 --> 02:53:46.690 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, that has been addressed. asr-003950 02:53:46.910 --> 02:53:48.570 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We've already explained that fully to COA. asr-003951 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, asr-003952 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. asr-003953 02:53:57.590 --> 02:54:00.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: As you pointed out, as the good congressman pointed out, asr-003954 02:54:00.090 --> 02:54:02.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na inaugment yung AICS. asr-003955 02:54:02.090 --> 02:54:04.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So yun yung pinakamalaki na nawala this year. asr-003956 02:54:04.090 --> 02:54:06.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 30 billion. asr-003957 02:54:06.090 --> 02:54:12.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung inintroduce na amendment ng congress, yun yung nawala rin. asr-003958 02:54:12.090 --> 02:54:15.090 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay, but what controls have we now placed? asr-003959 02:54:15.090 --> 02:54:19.090 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Paano nagiging distribution ngayon natin ng AICS? asr-003960 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? asr-003961 02:54:25.090 --> 02:54:28.090 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Who gets the biggest chunk of this AICS? asr-003962 02:54:28.090 --> 02:54:29.090 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: How do we distribute? asr-003963 02:54:29.090 --> 02:54:31.090 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Or allocate this fund? asr-003964 02:54:31.090 --> 02:54:34.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, it's always followed the same principle. asr-003965 02:54:34.090 --> 02:54:36.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's on a need base and assessed by the social worker. asr-003966 02:54:36.090 --> 02:54:39.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We get referrals every day from everywhere. asr-003967 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, asr-003968 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. asr-003969 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? asr-003970 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, asr-003971 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. asr-003972 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. asr-003973 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. asr-003974 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. asr-003975 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. asr-003976 02:55:35.090 --> 02:55:40.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, we totally agree. And we have tightened the implementing guidelines. asr-003977 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. asr-003978 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. asr-003979 02:55:51.090 --> 02:55:54.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we take these things seriously. Kakasuhan yung mga empleyado. asr-003980 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. asr-003981 02:55:59.090 --> 02:56:08.090 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay. Mr. Chairsec, as pinakita kanina ni Congressman Tino yung graph, asr-003982 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. asr-003983 02:56:15.090 --> 02:56:22.090 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Because yung support for SLTs and developmental programs talagang napaka-importante. asr-003984 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. asr-003985 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. asr-003986 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. asr-003987 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. asr-003988 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. asr-003989 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. asr-003990 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. asr-003991 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. asr-003992 02:57:17.090 --> 02:57:20.090 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: It encourages and incentivizes families who are benefitting. asr-003993 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. asr-003994 02:57:29.090 --> 02:57:33.090 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero gusto nga natin palakasin yung mga ganitong programa eh. asr-003995 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. asr-003996 02:57:45.090 --> 02:57:49.090 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Dahil ang gusto natin, slowly. asr-003997 02:57:49.090 --> 02:57:52.090 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: I think it was pointed out. asr-003998 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. asr-003999 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. asr-004000 02:58:13.090 --> 02:58:17.090 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: But ang ayaw natin sana mangyari is mapag-iwanan yung mga... asr-004001 02:58:17.090 --> 02:58:18.090 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ...yung mga... asr-004002 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. asr-004003 02:58:27.090 --> 02:58:29.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, we agree. asr-004004 02:58:29.090 --> 02:58:32.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The points are well taken. asr-004005 02:58:32.090 --> 02:58:34.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Just as a quick rundown. asr-004006 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. asr-004007 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. asr-004008 02:58:43.090 --> 02:58:47.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's a sign that our implementation has been tightened. asr-004009 02:58:47.090 --> 02:58:48.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But I also want to point out na... asr-004010 02:58:48.090 --> 02:58:51.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ninabanggit ko ito kanina kay Congressman Tino. asr-004011 02:58:51.090 --> 02:58:54.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yesterday's PSA briefing was quite revealing. asr-004012 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. asr-004013 02:59:05.090 --> 02:59:08.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: There were five main reasons to it. asr-004014 02:59:08.090 --> 02:59:14.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: One was yung wages tumaas. asr-004015 02:59:14.090 --> 02:59:16.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pangalawa, entrepreneurship. asr-004016 02:59:16.090 --> 02:59:19.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So nandun na huhulog yung mga SLP natin. asr-004017 02:59:19.090 --> 02:59:20.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ibig sabi nakakatulong sila. asr-004018 02:59:20.090 --> 02:59:21.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And not just us. asr-004019 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. asr-004020 02:59:27.090 --> 02:59:31.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Lahat yun na pagsasama-sama to entrepreneurship output. asr-004021 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. asr-004022 02:59:37.090 --> 02:59:41.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So meaning, and other transfers, meaning the targeting is working. asr-004023 02:59:41.090 --> 02:59:44.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Nakakontribute siya pero hindi natin nga gusto yun. asr-004024 02:59:44.090 --> 02:59:48.090 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And the other two is foreign remittances and pension. asr-004025 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. asr-004026 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. asr-004027 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? asr-004028 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. asr-004029 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. asr-004030 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. asr-004031 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. asr-004032 03:01:13.460 --> 03:01:16.700 Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay. So, as I mentioned earlier, asr-004033 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. asr-004034 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, asr-004035 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. asr-004036 03:01:58.880 --> 03:01:59.580 Rep.

Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Tungkol po ito, Secretary, sa QRF. asr-004233 03:16:09.260 --> 03:16:12.800 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Sa presentation po kasi mapapansin natin, asr-004234 03:16:12.800 --> 03:16:14.400 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: like for 2025, asr-004235 03:16:14.400 --> 03:16:16.100 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: yung regular niyo po asr-004236 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? asr-004237 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. asr-004238 03:17:10.740 --> 03:17:11.940 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So sana ho mabalik ho talaga kami. asr-004239 03:17:11.940 --> 03:17:16.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We are earnestly asking the committee to consider because ho asr-004240 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. asr-004241 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. asr-004242 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. asr-004243 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. asr-004244 03:17:49.420 --> 03:17:55.960 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Moving on to my question, a simple question, Mr. Chair. asr-004245 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. asr-004246 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. asr-004247 03:18:17.900 --> 03:18:23.420 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Dahil po, meron tayong fragmented and disconnected data system. asr-004248 03:18:24.180 --> 03:18:30.400 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, wala po tayong real-time na accurate na data. asr-004249 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. asr-004250 03:18:37.000 --> 03:18:37.320 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Ano po? asr-004251 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. asr-004252 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. asr-004253 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. asr-004254 03:19:07.560 --> 03:19:10.700 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: That is interoperable to address this gap. asr-004255 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. asr-004256 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. asr-004257 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. asr-004258 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, asr-004259 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 asr-004260 03:20:12.560 --> 03:20:16.560 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: PhilSys, birth and death records, and national ID. asr-004261 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. asr-004262 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, asr-004263 03:20:30.620 --> 03:20:32.960 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: education, and labor database. asr-004264 03:20:32.960 --> 03:20:37.900 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Sa social registry naman po, dapat meron mga poverty targeting mechanism, asr-004265 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. asr-004266 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, asr-004267 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. asr-004268 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? asr-004269 03:21:13.780 --> 03:21:17.120 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And will the Secretary support this reform? asr-004270 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 asr-004271 03:21:25.920 --> 03:21:28.760 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: from 4Ps, Walang Gutong, the program databases. asr-004272 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. asr-004273 03:21:31.560 --> 03:21:32.880 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we're fully supportive. asr-004274 03:21:33.760 --> 03:21:36.760 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair. asr-004275 03:21:37.460 --> 03:21:40.160 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: I will furnish you po a copy of my bill. asr-004276 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. asr-004277 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. asr-004278 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. asr-004279 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. asr-004280 03:22:10.060 --> 03:22:12.560 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Secretary Rex. asr-004281 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. asr-004282 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. asr-004283 03:22:23.940 --> 03:22:26.040 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Mr. Chair, that would be all. asr-004284 03:22:27.840 --> 03:22:28.540 Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you. asr-004285 03:22:39.710 --> 03:22:41.310 Rep.

Bautista: I believe my, one of my questions was asked earlier by Kong Iris. asr-004291 03:23:00.010 --> 03:23:01.110 Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Thank you very much po. asr-004292 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. asr-004293 03:23:05.110 --> 03:23:10.610 Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I just wanted to join my colleagues who already expressed their asr-004294 03:23:12.010 --> 03:23:12.710 Rep. Johanne Monich G.

Bautista: Kitang-kita po natin sa bawat sakuna, sa bawat trahedya po, nandyan po on the ground, always asr-004298 03:23:30.010 --> 03:23:32.410 Rep. Johanne Monich G.

Bautista: Marami pa pong mga kailangang idagdag. asr-004302 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 asr-004303 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 asr-004304 03:23:59.510 --> 03:24:01.310 Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: was removed under the NEP. asr-004305 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, asr-004306 03:24:09.010 --> 03:24:11.510 Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: quick response, importante po yan. asr-004307 03:24:11.510 --> 03:24:17.410 Rep. Johanne Monich G.

Bautista: So tayo po ay hindi po dapat magdalawang isip at maging panatag po tayo kung dadagdagan asr-004309 03:24:25.410 --> 03:24:29.410 Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: po natin ang pondong ito na kailangan po ng DSWD. asr-004310 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. asr-004311 03:24:36.410 --> 03:24:40.410 Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: On behalf lang po ng ating mga workers po. asr-004312 03:24:40.410 --> 03:24:48.310 Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Mr. Chair, kasi po siguro the good secretary can explain. asr-004313 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 asr-004314 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. asr-004315 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 asr-004316 03:25:08.310 --> 03:25:09.310 Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: na nangangailangan. asr-004317 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, asr-004318 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. asr-004319 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 asr-004320 03:25:34.210 --> 03:25:37.210 Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: mga nagtatrabaho nating mga kababayan. asr-004321 03:25:37.210 --> 03:25:39.210 Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: That they are also covered. asr-004322 03:25:39.310 --> 03:25:42.210 Rep.

Bautista: And entitled to the programs of the DSWD. asr-004323 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. asr-004324 03:25:46.210 --> 03:25:50.210 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It looks at the crisis situation more than the income level. asr-004325 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 asr-004326 03:25:55.210 --> 03:25:56.210 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: worker natin. asr-004327 03:25:56.210 --> 03:25:58.210 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And in fact, I just don't have the data with me. asr-004328 03:25:58.210 --> 03:26:00.210 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We will gladly furnish the committee. asr-004329 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 asr-004330 03:26:05.210 --> 03:26:06.210 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: class. asr-004331 03:26:06.210 --> 03:26:08.310 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So those above the poverty threshold, the near poor. asr-004332 03:26:08.310 --> 03:26:09.210 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: All the way to 50%. asr-004333 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. asr-004334 03:26:13.210 --> 03:26:19.210 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It goes to show na yung crisis in crisis situation yung tinitignan. asr-004335 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. asr-004336 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 asr-004337 03:26:31.210 --> 03:26:33.210 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: targeting low wage earners. asr-004338 03:26:33.210 --> 03:26:36.210 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: These are above minimum wage earners ng SSS. asr-004339 03:26:36.210 --> 03:26:38.210 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's around 1.5 million. asr-004340 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 asr-004341 03:26:46.110 --> 03:26:48.110 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: accounts ng marami sa kanila. asr-004342 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 asr-004343 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. asr-004344 03:27:00.210 --> 03:27:01.210 Rep.

Cielo Krisel Lagman: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. asr-004359 03:27:50.980 --> 03:27:52.840 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Hindi pa kumakain si Secretary. asr-004360 03:27:52.840 --> 03:28:01.840 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Iba talaga pag rooted sa local government ang head ng department. asr-004361 03:28:01.840 --> 03:28:04.840 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Lalong-lalo na pagdating sa social services. asr-004362 03:28:04.840 --> 03:28:10.840 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Damang-dama po namin ang hands-on approach asr-004363 03:28:10.840 --> 03:28:14.740 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: and holistic approach ng inyong paggogobyerno, Secretary Rex. asr-004364 03:28:14.740 --> 03:28:22.740 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Ang Tabaco, Albay, laging nasasalanta. asr-004365 03:28:22.740 --> 03:28:25.740 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Maging bagyo man yan o mga volcanic eruptions. asr-004366 03:28:25.740 --> 03:28:35.740 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Itong nakaraan ang pinakamahaba na evacuation time sa loob ng evacuation centers. asr-004367 03:28:35.740 --> 03:28:38.740 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Inabot po sa 7 buwan. asr-004368 03:28:38.740 --> 03:28:39.740 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: 7 buwan. asr-004369 03:28:39.740 --> 03:28:45.640 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Nagsimula ng January 6 at nag-decamp ng August 6. asr-004370 03:28:45.640 --> 03:28:47.640 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So, 7 months po. asr-004371 03:28:47.640 --> 03:28:51.640 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: And hindi po talaga nagpabaya ang DSWD. asr-004372 03:28:51.640 --> 03:28:55.640 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Naandito ang aming regional director, si RD Norman Laurio. asr-004373 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. asr-004374 03:29:05.640 --> 03:29:09.640 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Suficiente rin po yung pinamimigay. asr-004375 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. asr-004376 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. asr-004377 03:29:29.640 --> 03:29:32.640 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Ito lang po ang aking comment. asr-004378 03:29:32.640 --> 03:29:35.640 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: First is, wala pong pinipili. asr-004379 03:29:35.640 --> 03:29:39.540 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Ang ibig kong sabihin, maging isang miyembro lang ng pamilya, asr-004380 03:29:39.540 --> 03:29:41.440 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: o sampung miyembro ng pamilya, asr-004381 03:29:41.440 --> 03:29:45.440 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: eh ang ibinabahagi po ay isang kahon. asr-004382 03:29:45.440 --> 03:29:49.440 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: And every 3 days po sila nakaka-receive nito. asr-004383 03:29:49.440 --> 03:29:55.440 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Baka maaari po na maging mas maayos ang pagbabahagi nito. asr-004384 03:29:55.440 --> 03:29:59.440 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kasi ang isang pamilya na may isang miyembro, asr-004385 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. asr-004386 03:30:10.920 --> 03:30:12.640 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So, iyon po ang isang comment ko. asr-004387 03:30:13.180 --> 03:30:15.320 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Pangalawa rin naman po yung variety. asr-004388 03:30:15.680 --> 03:30:18.900 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Alam ko kakaiba ang sitwasyon namin sa Albay. asr-004389 03:30:18.900 --> 03:30:24.040 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Hindi all the time ay ganito kahaba ang evacuation. asr-004390 03:30:25.500 --> 03:30:28.920 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Ang iba ilang araw lang, baka linggo. asr-004391 03:30:28.920 --> 03:30:32.200 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Pero nangyayari po at nangyayari pa lang. asr-004392 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. asr-004393 03:30:40.420 --> 03:30:45.380 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: And sana po naandito ang chairman ng Ways and Means Committee. asr-004394 03:30:45.380 --> 03:30:48.140 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Katabi ko po si chairman. asr-004395 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. asr-004396 03:30:56.820 --> 03:30:57.160 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Siyempre. asr-004397 03:30:57.500 --> 03:30:58.840 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kasi mahabaan. asr-004398 03:30:58.920 --> 03:31:00.300 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Ang storage nito. asr-004399 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, asr-004400 03:31:10.540 --> 03:31:13.180 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: baka po po pwedeng stick na lang ng coffee. asr-004401 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. asr-004402 03:31:19.700 --> 03:31:22.980 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Baka po pwedeng isang dosena na ng stick ng coffee. asr-004403 03:31:23.380 --> 03:31:27.040 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kasi at least yun totoong kape at hindi loaded sa asukal. asr-004404 03:31:27.040 --> 03:31:30.740 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Nakalagay rin po doon ay Ovaltine. asr-004405 03:31:31.660 --> 03:31:34.440 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: And maganda po yun para sa mga bata. asr-004406 03:31:34.680 --> 03:31:38.120 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Pero sana magkaroon ng mas nutritious na substitute. asr-004407 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, asr-004408 03:31:43.660 --> 03:31:48.900 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: kundi sana nutritious din po ang laman ng ating pinamimigay. asr-004409 03:31:49.420 --> 03:31:51.880 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So wala po akong masyadong reklamo, sir. asr-004410 03:31:53.320 --> 03:31:54.920 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Mabilis ang aksyon. asr-004411 03:31:55.920 --> 03:31:56.400 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Sustained. asr-004412 03:31:57.040 --> 03:31:59.920 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Masyado nga pong na-pamper yung mga LGUs. asr-004413 03:32:00.420 --> 03:32:03.840 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kasi under your watch, ngayon lang namin naramdaman asr-004414 03:32:03.840 --> 03:32:08.080 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: na hindi na iisipin ng LGUs kung ano ang ipamimigay. asr-004415 03:32:08.260 --> 03:32:10.600 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kasi sustained siya. asr-004416 03:32:10.720 --> 03:32:15.120 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Hindi lang siya quick response, pero sustained ang response. asr-004417 03:32:15.340 --> 03:32:18.660 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Tuloy, yung probinsya ng Albay, for instance, asr-004418 03:32:19.240 --> 03:32:21.680 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: once lang namihagi ng bigas. asr-004419 03:32:21.680 --> 03:32:26.120 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: At nung pag-decamp, doon nagbigay pa ng fresh food. asr-004420 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. asr-004421 03:32:32.600 --> 03:32:35.700 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kasi umasa na lahat sa DSWD. asr-004422 03:32:36.280 --> 03:32:41.980 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So kanina sinabi ninyo na kayo ang pang-augment. asr-004423 03:32:42.480 --> 03:32:44.280 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Hindi po ganun ang nangyayari. asr-004424 03:32:44.480 --> 03:32:47.940 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So palagay ko may mali rin po doon sa senaryo, sir. asr-004425 03:32:49.500 --> 03:32:52.200 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kailangan ata mapag-aralan din mabuti. asr-004426 03:32:52.480 --> 03:32:54.440 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: O mag-guide yung LGU. asr-004427 03:32:54.440 --> 03:32:56.260 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Kapag hindi ka nagbigay, asr-004428 03:32:57.040 --> 03:33:00.340 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: hindi ba po pwedeng i-ask sa lahat sa DSWD? asr-004429 03:33:01.060 --> 03:33:05.020 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Lahat ako, salita, hindi ko malang narinig yung response ninyo. asr-004430 03:33:05.220 --> 03:33:07.200 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So again, maraming salamat po. asr-004431 03:33:07.520 --> 03:33:09.400 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, totally agree. asr-004432 03:33:10.360 --> 03:33:12.140 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Una ho yung efficiency. asr-004433 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. asr-004434 03:33:18.560 --> 03:33:22.220 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mahirap sa logistics sa storekeeping, pero we're up to the challenge. asr-004435 03:33:22.980 --> 03:33:24.180 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number two, variety. asr-004436 03:33:24.180 --> 03:33:26.820 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi na lang ngayon kasi sa Albay nangyayari. asr-004437 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. asr-004438 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. asr-004439 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. asr-004440 03:33:44.420 --> 03:33:46.420 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And variety is something that's important. asr-004441 03:33:46.420 --> 03:33:48.820 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: The food fatigue is something that's real. asr-004442 03:33:48.820 --> 03:33:50.820 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At kaya kami nakakarinig rin. asr-004443 03:33:50.820 --> 03:33:52.820 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we will take that into account. asr-004444 03:33:52.820 --> 03:33:56.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But the first two items, well noted, we will study. asr-004445 03:33:56.860 --> 03:33:58.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mahirap kasi ho. asr-004446 03:33:58.860 --> 03:34:02.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That means us storekeeping multiple types of packs. asr-004447 03:34:02.860 --> 03:34:04.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But we're up to the challenge. asr-004448 03:34:04.860 --> 03:34:08.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number three, yung 3-1 coffee. asr-004449 03:34:08.860 --> 03:34:10.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ako, I myself drink black and I agree. asr-004450 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. asr-004451 03:34:15.860 --> 03:34:19.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It passed their minimum standards, but we will review. asr-004452 03:34:19.860 --> 03:34:21.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Well noted as well, Madam Chair. asr-004453 03:34:21.860 --> 03:34:24.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, and last but not the least, yun sa QRF. asr-004454 03:34:24.860 --> 03:34:25.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ma'am, you read my mind. asr-004455 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. asr-004456 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. asr-004457 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, asr-004458 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. asr-004459 03:34:50.860 --> 03:34:52.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Five years pala, sorry, five years. asr-004460 03:34:52.860 --> 03:34:55.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I haven't practiced local government in more than four years now. asr-004461 03:34:55.860 --> 03:35:00.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So we have to really think about what you said. asr-004462 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. asr-004463 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. asr-004464 03:35:08.860 --> 03:35:11.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi nga, like I said, mabigat na ng pabigat. asr-004465 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. asr-004466 03:35:22.860 --> 03:35:24.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pag galit siya sa gobyerno, galit siya sa gobyerno. asr-004467 03:35:24.860 --> 03:35:26.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kung hindi siya nakakuha ng pagkain, galit siya. asr-004468 03:35:26.860 --> 03:35:34.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero it's no reason for the lopsided utilization of the QRF. asr-004469 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, asr-004470 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. asr-004471 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 asr-004472 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. asr-004473 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. asr-004474 03:36:12.860 --> 03:36:17.860 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: May cash for work. One cash for work, one emergency cash assistance. asr-004475 03:36:17.860 --> 03:36:22.860 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: So baka mas tingnan natin kung pa paano mabalansihin. asr-004476 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. asr-004477 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. asr-004478 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. asr-004479 03:36:39.960 --> 03:36:44.000 Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman: Maraming maraming salamat, Secretary. And congratulations, job well done. asr-004480 03:36:46.200 --> 03:36:48.160 Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, Kong Lagman. asr-004481 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. asr-004482 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. asr-004483 03:36:58.400 --> 03:37:03.960 Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: We recognize Congressman Miro Quimbo. asr-004484 03:37:05.100 --> 03:37:06.480 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Thank you very much. asr-004485 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. asr-004486 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. asr-004487 03:37:21.980 --> 03:37:26.500 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Because how do you fix something that's already working? asr-004488 03:37:28.800 --> 03:37:32.480 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I think we have very hardworking employees. asr-004489 03:37:34.060 --> 03:37:36.800 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: The response time has become so much quicker. asr-004490 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. asr-004491 03:37:48.100 --> 03:37:49.480 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: How do we call our boxes again? asr-004492 03:37:49.620 --> 03:37:50.580 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Family food box. asr-004493 03:37:50.700 --> 03:37:51.700 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Family food box. asr-004494 03:37:51.880 --> 03:38:01.220 Rep. Atty. Miro S.

I mean, that's what it does. asr-004496 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. asr-004497 03:38:13.920 --> 03:38:18.020 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So tingin ko, baka pag-isipan natin, it's too businesslike. asr-004498 03:38:18.020 --> 03:38:20.960 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: It's too Rex Gatchal yan. asr-004499 03:38:21.880 --> 03:38:27.520 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Parang it's part of a key performance indicator. asr-004500 03:38:28.000 --> 03:38:29.320 Rep.

Family? asr-004502 03:38:31.340 --> 03:38:32.320 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Family food pack. asr-004503 03:38:33.480 --> 03:38:33.920 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: FFP. asr-004504 03:38:34.160 --> 03:38:35.000 Rep.

Quimbo: I think with something more, yeah, something more spiritual, di ba? asr-004507 03:38:41.560 --> 03:38:42.160 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hopeful, yeah. asr-004508 03:38:42.220 --> 03:38:44.000 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Yeah, yung aspirational. asr-004509 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. asr-004510 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. asr-004511 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. asr-004512 03:39:06.160 --> 03:39:11.580 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Yung dinidismantle and then nilalagay in their own political packaging. asr-004513 03:39:12.120 --> 03:39:13.600 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Hindi ko na rin nababalitaan yan eh. asr-004514 03:39:13.900 --> 03:39:16.580 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Kasi sobrang hirap yata i-unbundle. asr-004515 03:39:16.760 --> 03:39:18.560 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Tanggal pala yung scotch tape dyan, di ba? asr-004516 03:39:19.160 --> 03:39:21.360 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, but like I said, asr-004517 03:39:21.880 --> 03:39:25.680 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: yung tanong ko na lang is really on senior citizen pension. asr-004518 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. asr-004519 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. asr-004520 03:39:43.920 --> 03:39:45.840 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Pero bakit mas mababa yung budget? asr-004521 03:39:47.440 --> 03:39:49.380 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, ano kasi yun? asr-004522 03:39:50.160 --> 03:39:51.720 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Congressional amendment? asr-004523 03:39:51.880 --> 03:39:52.880 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung nadagdag? asr-004524 03:39:53.380 --> 03:39:55.420 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And even that, kasi kapos na kapos eh. asr-004525 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 asr-004526 03:40:01.060 --> 03:40:06.180 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: on a universal senior pension, social pension for senior citizens. asr-004527 03:40:06.800 --> 03:40:09.980 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It will address the public perception na pinipili. asr-004528 03:40:10.740 --> 03:40:11.960 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we totally agree. asr-004529 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. asr-004530 03:40:17.440 --> 03:40:21.500 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Yeah, I think, Chairman, the point here relative to senior citizens, asr-004531 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, asr-004532 03:40:27.060 --> 03:40:29.720 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: but you receive more criticisms than praises. asr-004533 03:40:30.240 --> 03:40:34.400 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Because yung tumatanggap, kadalasan di naman nagpapasalamat na eh, diba? asr-004534 03:40:35.460 --> 03:40:40.100 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Pero yung hindi nakakatanggap na karamihan, ay yun ang pinuputakti tayo. asr-004535 03:40:40.460 --> 03:40:42.520 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Actually, Mr. Chairman, tama ho yun. Plus minus eh. asr-004536 03:40:42.640 --> 03:40:44.380 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi mas malaki yung minus than yung plus. asr-004537 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, asr-004538 03:40:49.300 --> 03:40:51.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that means yung 6 na milyon na hindi nakakatanggap, asr-004539 03:40:51.880 --> 03:40:55.160 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: minus dun sa lamang pahuyong hindi nakatanggap na galit. asr-004540 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, asr-004541 03:40:59.500 --> 03:41:01.220 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: katatanggap pa lang ng benepisyo, asr-004542 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, asr-004543 03:41:07.920 --> 03:41:10.880 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: ang kadalasan nadidinig ko eh, ano pa kaya susunod? asr-004544 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. asr-004545 03:41:16.400 --> 03:41:21.680 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, there's an existing proposal here to have a reduced, asr-004546 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, asr-004547 03:41:26.740 --> 03:41:29.940 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: 500 pesos a month lang so that the outlay becomes half. asr-004548 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. asr-004549 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. asr-004550 03:41:41.480 --> 03:41:43.480 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Kasi dito mas napapakinabangan pa ng tao. asr-004551 03:41:43.920 --> 03:41:48.480 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, we agree 101% on both counts. asr-004552 03:41:49.560 --> 03:41:50.940 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Half, but everybody. asr-004553 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. asr-004554 03:41:56.940 --> 03:41:58.700 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Huwag lang magalit ko si Sekvin sa akin. asr-004555 03:41:59.160 --> 03:42:01.340 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi that means a minus to his side. asr-004556 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. asr-004557 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, asr-004558 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, asr-004559 03:42:20.460 --> 03:42:20.920 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: between asr-004560 03:42:20.920 --> 03:42:22.040 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: three to five thousand a month. asr-004561 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. asr-004562 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, asr-004563 03:42:32.340 --> 03:42:35.280 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: o yung asawa namin nagtrabaho, kaya may survivor pension kami, asr-004564 03:42:35.780 --> 03:42:37.860 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: but we are automatically disqualified. asr-004565 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, asr-004566 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, asr-004567 03:42:50.920 --> 03:42:52.840 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: taxpayers, including themselves, asr-004568 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. asr-004569 03:42:58.620 --> 03:43:00.680 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, ang hirap i-justify, eh. asr-004570 03:43:00.780 --> 03:43:04.200 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: And I think nadidiminish yung ganda ng programa. asr-004571 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. asr-004572 03:43:13.440 --> 03:43:14.320 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And sang-ayon ho kami. asr-004573 03:43:15.360 --> 03:43:20.520 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: At sana, Secretary, is we really move towards, asr-004574 03:43:20.920 --> 03:43:25.140 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: a more contactless electronic transfer. asr-004575 03:43:25.800 --> 03:43:29.900 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Kasi, kawawa rin yung ating mga beneficiaries, kailangan pa i-biyahe, asr-004576 03:43:30.340 --> 03:43:31.820 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: especially mga senior citizens. asr-004577 03:43:32.580 --> 03:43:37.140 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: At wala naman akong pinapatunguhan o pinaparinggan, asr-004578 03:43:37.280 --> 03:43:40.760 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: pero gusto-gusto na ibang mga politiko na iniipon, eh. asr-004579 03:43:41.260 --> 03:43:45.300 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Di ba, iniipon, magtatagal yung mga ating mga lolo't lola, asr-004580 03:43:45.840 --> 03:43:50.020 Rep. Atty. Miro S.

Quimbo: They have to pay 150 pesos asr-004582 03:43:50.920 --> 03:43:54.260 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: one way, so 300 piso ka agad yun, di ba? asr-004583 03:43:54.400 --> 03:43:56.120 Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, ang laking na ibabawas. asr-004584 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. asr-004585 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. asr-004586 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, asr-004587 03:44:16.460 --> 03:44:17.140 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: lalo na sa mahirap. asr-004588 03:44:17.140 --> 03:44:19.860 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We saw in UPLIFT bucket number two, yung poor at near poor. asr-004589 03:44:20.920 --> 03:44:23.800 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yung poor, almost 80% are unbanked. asr-004590 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. asr-004591 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. asr-004592 03:44:39.440 --> 03:44:40.840 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But we totally agree, Mr. Chairman. asr-004593 03:44:42.080 --> 03:44:45.380 Rep.

Quimbo: Yung while there will be birth pains, meaning registration, asr-004595 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. asr-004596 03:44:56.040 --> 03:44:59.320 Rep. Atty. Miro S.

First and foremost, I would like to thank our good secretary. Last year, asr-006460 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 asr-006461 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 asr-006462 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 asr-006463 05:01:59.520 --> 05:02:02.180 Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: just once, but twice in a span. asr-006464 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 asr-006465 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 asr-006466 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 asr-006467 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. asr-006468 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 asr-006469 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, asr-006470 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? asr-006471 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. asr-006472 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. asr-006473 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. asr-006474 05:03:33.640 --> 05:03:35.600 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na nakaraan ba ay maganda asr-006475 05:03:35.600 --> 05:03:38.220 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yung implementasyon. Kasi kung asr-006476 05:03:38.220 --> 05:03:40.520 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: matatandaan natin, may counterparting ito. asr-006477 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. asr-006478 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 asr-006479 05:03:55.980 --> 05:03:59.600 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: because it's a World Bank loan asr-006480 05:03:59.600 --> 05:04:02.400 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that was extinguished last year. asr-006481 05:04:02.400 --> 05:04:06.400 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ang successor program niya is called the Panahon ng Pagkilos. asr-006482 05:04:06.400 --> 05:04:08.500 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It's a line item again. asr-006483 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. asr-006484 05:04:14.280 --> 05:04:19.480 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So poverty, stunting, presence of vulnerable communities, including IPs, asr-006485 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. asr-006486 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? asr-006487 05:04:31.240 --> 05:04:32.660 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Meron po, because it's an ODA. asr-006488 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. asr-006489 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, asr-006490 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. asr-006491 05:04:54.100 --> 05:04:55.280 Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: Thank you for that. asr-006492 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? asr-006493 05:05:03.620 --> 05:05:05.380 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It never is, Mr. Chairman. asr-006494 05:05:05.940 --> 05:05:07.740 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we hope that you can also look into this. asr-006495 05:05:07.860 --> 05:05:09.620 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero pahabaan na ng pahabaan listahan namin. asr-006496 05:05:09.800 --> 05:05:11.380 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Baka hindi na talaga kami ma-entertain. asr-006497 05:05:11.580 --> 05:05:14.240 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi dagdag kami ng dagdag sa listahan. asr-006498 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. asr-006499 05:05:20.120 --> 05:05:21.960 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Maliit man yung proyekto, but meaningful. asr-006500 05:05:22.140 --> 05:05:25.240 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi katulad ng sinabi nyo, tulay na araw-araw ginagamit. asr-006501 05:05:25.320 --> 05:05:27.320 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Water system na araw-araw ginagamit. asr-006502 05:05:28.540 --> 05:05:29.460 Rep.

Guintu: Maybe our appropriations may allocate additional budget for that. asr-006505 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, asr-006506 05:05:41.400 --> 05:05:43.700 Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: so I think I would just manifest. asr-006507 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, asr-006508 05:05:51.740 --> 05:05:54.360 Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu: not just in my district, but nationwide. asr-006509 05:05:55.320 --> 05:06:09.540 Rep. Ivan Howard A.

Guintu: Our Vice Chairman of Appropriations is here. asr-006511 05:06:13.940 --> 05:06:18.200 Rep. Ivan Howard A.

Guintu: Karamihan po ng mga congressmen, naninig po natin, ito, much favored po nila talaga yung SLP program. asr-006513 05:06:24.540 --> 05:06:31.220 Rep. Ivan Howard A.

"Pido" Garbin Jr.: especially if cases such as Samboanga Tacloban asr-006594 05:12:24.100 --> 05:12:28.100 Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: and cases that will happen in far-flung areas. asr-006595 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 asr-006596 05:12:33.100 --> 05:12:37.100 Rep. Alfredo A.

"Pido" Garbin Jr.: And I hope that this, asr-006601 05:12:54.100 --> 05:12:59.100 Rep. Alfredo A.

"Pido" Garbin Jr.: to be allocated for those local government units asr-006603 05:13:02.100 --> 05:13:05.100 Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: and that can maintain this Bahay Pag-asa. asr-006604 05:13:05.100 --> 05:13:07.100 Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: My second question is, asr-006605 05:13:07.100 --> 05:13:12.100 Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: considering that there were so many proposals asr-006606 05:13:12.100 --> 05:13:17.100 Rep. Alfredo A.

"Pido" Garbin Jr.: Republic Act 9344, asr-006611 05:13:38.100 --> 05:13:45.100 Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: is no longer existing in this present time, asr-006612 05:13:45.100 --> 05:13:47.100 Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: considering that, you know, asr-006613 05:13:47.100 --> 05:13:50.100 Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: minors right now, their maturity comes early asr-006614 05:13:50.100 --> 05:13:52.100 Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: because of their exposure asr-006615 05:13:52.100 --> 05:13:55.100 Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: to social media and they become more exposed, asr-006616 05:13:55.100 --> 05:13:58.100 Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: more informed and more daring. asr-006617 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? asr-006618 05:14:03.100 --> 05:14:07.100 Rep. Alfredo A.

"Pido" Garbin Jr.: Like in other jurisdictions, as young as 10, asr-006620 05:14:10.100 --> 05:14:15.100 Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.: like Singapore, criminal responsibility already attached. asr-006621 05:14:15.100 --> 05:14:19.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, I take the position of all our child welfare advocates asr-006622 05:14:19.100 --> 05:14:21.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that we are against lowering down asr-006623 05:14:21.100 --> 05:14:24.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: the minimum age of criminal liability. asr-006624 05:14:24.100 --> 05:14:27.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We do not want to lower it for the following reasons. asr-006625 05:14:27.100 --> 05:14:31.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number one, we have not yet fully implemented the law, asr-006626 05:14:31.100 --> 05:14:33.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: yet we want to lower it down again. asr-006627 05:14:33.100 --> 05:14:36.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I think we have to fulfill the provisions, asr-006628 05:14:36.100 --> 05:14:38.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: as you pointed out, by the law, asr-006629 05:14:38.100 --> 05:14:41.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: before we can say whether the law is successful asr-006630 05:14:41.100 --> 05:14:44.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or whether it's effective or not effective. asr-006631 05:14:44.100 --> 05:14:47.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pangalawa, after my discussions with Secretary Vida, asr-006632 05:14:47.100 --> 05:14:50.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: medyo mahirapan rin tayo i-justify sa world stage, asr-006633 05:14:50.100 --> 05:14:54.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: that from the age of 15, asr-006634 05:14:54.100 --> 05:14:57.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: 14, no, 15, 15, asr-006635 05:14:57.100 --> 05:14:59.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: biglang ibababa natin, asr-006636 05:14:59.100 --> 05:15:00.000 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: para tayong asr-006637 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. asr-006638 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 asr-006639 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 asr-006640 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 asr-006641 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 asr-006642 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 asr-006643 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 asr-006644 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. asr-006645 05:15:52.960 --> 05:15:54.400 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: i think we can address the asr-006646 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. asr-006647 05:16:13.200 --> 05:16:16.560 Rep.

Relova: Yes, Mr. Chair. asr-006807 05:24:52.420 --> 05:24:55.300 NCDA Executive Director Glenda D.

Relova: from the LGU in terms of the assistance for interpreters. asr-006809 05:24:59.700 --> 05:25:03.940 NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: What we receive are requests from the national government agencies asr-006810 05:25:03.940 --> 05:25:05.340 NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: which we provided. asr-006811 05:25:05.340 --> 05:25:08.660 NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: However, kailan lang po nag-meeting po kami asr-006812 05:25:08.660 --> 05:25:13.420 NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: sa ilang organizations of deaf within the country asr-006813 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 asr-006814 05:25:19.060 --> 05:25:20.260 NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: to provide po. asr-006815 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 asr-006816 05:25:23.940 --> 05:25:26.260 NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: Filipino Sign Language interpreter po. asr-006817 05:25:26.260 --> 05:25:31.260 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, wala pong datos sa mga syudad o munisipalidad na asr-006818 05:25:31.260 --> 05:25:34.700 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: sino ba yung mga syudad o munisipyo na meron o wala? asr-006819 05:25:34.700 --> 05:25:37.260 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: May ganun po bang datos ang ahensya? asr-006820 05:25:37.260 --> 05:25:40.580 NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: Sa ngayon po, Mr. Chair, wala po kaming datos. asr-006821 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, asr-006822 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. asr-006825 05:25:52.140 --> 05:25:55.140 NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova: din po yung nakakaharap po ng NCDA. asr-006826 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 asr-006827 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. asr-006828 05:26:07.140 --> 05:26:10.140 Rep.

Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Indication lang po yan na medyo mahina po ang ating implementation particular dito sa batas for FSL. asr-006832 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. asr-006833 05:26:26.140 --> 05:26:29.140 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: nasaan ba yung mga gaps patungkol diyan. asr-006834 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, asr-006835 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, asr-006836 05:26:42.140 --> 05:26:48.140 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: hindi sila magkaintindihan kasi walang mag-i-interpret for them. asr-006837 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 asr-006838 05:26:53.560 --> 05:26:56.920 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: and nandoon lang sa built na infrastructure. asr-006839 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, asr-006840 05:27:01.760 --> 05:27:03.740 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: lalong-lalo na sa mga kapatid natin na deaf. asr-006841 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. asr-006842 05:27:10.600 --> 05:27:13.360 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Next po na tanong natin, Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary, asr-006843 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, asr-006844 05:27:20.820 --> 05:27:21.860 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: wala kasing standard eh. asr-006845 05:27:22.380 --> 05:27:24.440 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, walang standard kung magkano yung rate nila, asr-006846 05:27:25.040 --> 05:27:28.680 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: wala actually sila ng mga benepisyon na natatanggap. asr-006847 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, asr-006848 05:27:32.280 --> 05:27:34.320 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: o magka-isa tayo, ganito ang rate natin. asr-006849 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. asr-006850 05:27:39.180 --> 05:27:43.200 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ano po yung mga ginagawang hakbangin ng DSWD? asr-006851 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. asr-006852 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 asr-006853 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. asr-006854 05:28:03.680 --> 05:28:04.920 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: If I can jump in. asr-006855 05:28:05.060 --> 05:28:05.260 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Yes. asr-006856 05:28:06.840 --> 05:28:09.240 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Bahagi, pinasok po namin yan, if you can recall, asr-006857 05:28:09.240 --> 05:28:13.240 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: social protection sa SGLG is in the realm of the DSWD. asr-006858 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. asr-006859 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. asr-006860 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. asr-006861 05:28:30.720 --> 05:28:33.280 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's a way of us compelling and formalizing. asr-006862 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. asr-006863 05:28:45.640 --> 05:28:48.800 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Maraming salamat po sa paglilinaw, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair. asr-006864 05:28:49.480 --> 05:28:55.240 Rep.

Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Pero wala man lang available na nag-i-interpret ng pinag-uusapan natin. asr-006868 05:29:10.740 --> 05:29:14.640 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kung gustong maintindihan ng mga kapatid natin mula sa deaf community, asr-006869 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. asr-006870 05:29:20.600 --> 05:29:23.480 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Maintindihan nila itong pinag-uusapan natin ngayon. asr-006871 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. asr-006872 05:29:29.660 --> 05:29:31.440 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So kaya kailangan nating palakasin ito. asr-006873 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, asr-006874 05:29:37.880 --> 05:29:42.340 Rep.

Yung tertiary education subsidy went through your portal, diba? That's about 400,000 students, scholars. asr-008131 07:12:41.580 --> 07:12:42.900 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: E-portal is with CHED, sir. asr-008132 07:12:43.280 --> 07:12:53.600 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L.

Kasi maliit lang yung, hindi namin na-increase yung katilang allowance, no? asr-008133 07:12:53.600 --> 07:12:55.340 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: It used to be 60,000. asr-008134 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. asr-008135 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? asr-008136 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. asr-008137 07:13:23.940 --> 07:13:25.280 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So, lahat. asr-008138 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. asr-008139 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. asr-008140 07:13:45.340 --> 07:13:49.140 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mr. Chair, yung portal nasa CHED, what we do is... asr-008141 07:13:49.140 --> 07:13:50.780 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Pero yung listahan, galing sa DSWD. asr-008142 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. asr-008143 07:13:55.480 --> 07:14:00.140 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ng mga 4Ps na eligible na dahil pagkukulehyo na po. asr-008144 07:14:00.200 --> 07:14:02.180 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Kasi ngayon talagang in-implement na. asr-008145 07:14:02.400 --> 07:14:05.840 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Na talagang galing lang sa listahan ninyo. asr-008146 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? asr-008147 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. asr-008148 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. asr-008149 07:14:32.700 --> 07:14:35.940 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: So, meaning, lahat ng eligible, ipapadala namin sa kanila. asr-008150 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. asr-008151 07:14:43.820 --> 07:14:54.400 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L.

Hernandez: Kasi that's the only way na madagdagan yung... asr-008154 07:14:58.320 --> 07:14:59.540 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: By all means, Mr. Chair. asr-008155 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. asr-008156 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. asr-008157 07:15:16.660 --> 07:15:25.260 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L.

Para akong nagre-react lastly, but we just got word. asr-008643 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. asr-008644 07:49:14.480 --> 07:49:15.700 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I just can't let it slide. asr-008645 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, asr-008646 07:49:23.100 --> 07:49:25.020 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: is not the mode to identify. asr-008647 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. asr-008648 07:49:33.760 --> 07:49:35.180 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Accordingly, mali po yung notion ng executive director ng NCSC asr-008649 07:49:35.500 --> 07:49:43.980 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na National ID ho ang gagamitin. Hindi po ang pag-identify; CBMS asr-008650 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. asr-008651 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, asr-008652 07:49:55.180 --> 07:49:56.220 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: ako si Rex Gatchalian. asr-008653 07:49:56.220 --> 07:49:57.900 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Ako ba talaga si Rex Gatchalian? asr-008654 07:49:58.340 --> 07:49:59.980 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Parang nabaliktad nila ho ata. asr-008655 07:50:00.300 --> 07:50:04.380 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Number two, a simple data sharing agreement between them, asr-008656 07:50:04.380 --> 07:50:05.340 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: NCSC, asr-008660 07:50:06.000 --> 07:50:07.760 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And PSA will be suffice. asr-008661 07:50:07.880 --> 07:50:10.240 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: You don't need a court order to do that. asr-008662 07:50:10.340 --> 07:50:13.080 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Among government agencies, that will only cause more delay. asr-008663 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. asr-008664 07:50:20.660 --> 07:50:21.240 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Uulitin ko po. asr-008665 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. asr-008666 07:50:28.320 --> 07:50:29.540 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We need to help DBM. asr-008667 07:50:29.760 --> 07:50:33.340 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi wala yung DBM dito na parang sila yung may kasalanan eh. asr-008668 07:50:33.340 --> 07:50:35.460 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: You need to help DBM. asr-008669 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. asr-008670 07:50:43.020 --> 07:50:44.140 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Parang actuarial yan eh. asr-008671 07:50:44.620 --> 07:50:47.660 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Para ma-identify na natin ahead of time. asr-008672 07:50:47.820 --> 07:50:50.640 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Plus, on demand from the local OSCA offices, asr-008673 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. asr-008674 07:50:56.460 --> 07:51:00.880 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi naman ho kailangan komplikado, Mr. Chair, Madam Chair. asr-008675 07:51:00.960 --> 07:51:02.360 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Hindi ho kailangan maging komplikado ho ito. asr-008676 07:51:02.360 --> 07:51:04.900 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pinasa na namin yung sistema. asr-008677 07:51:05.500 --> 07:51:09.220 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And I would highly encourage NCSC to look into that. asr-008678 07:51:09.320 --> 07:51:12.280 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Kasi like you said, ang nagsu-suffer ho yung mga matatanda, asr-008679 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. asr-008680 07:51:16.000 --> 07:51:18.500 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We're in the regime of a very tight fiscal space. asr-008681 07:51:18.600 --> 07:51:20.440 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And we're trying to streamline and optimize. asr-008682 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. asr-008683 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. asr-008684 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 asr-008685 07:51:35.500 --> 07:51:36.720 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: at dinadala ngayon yung sagot sa amin asr-008686 07:51:37.100 --> 07:51:38.120 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: na tama yung notion ho namin. asr-008687 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. asr-008688 07:51:42.580 --> 07:51:43.820 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: At yun ang nakalagay sa minutes. asr-008689 07:51:44.160 --> 07:51:48.520 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I dispute every single fact raised by the Executive Director of NCSC. asr-008690 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. asr-008691 07:51:55.480 --> 07:51:56.580 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: It may not be perfect. asr-008692 07:51:56.700 --> 07:51:57.780 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Wala namang ahensyang perfect. asr-008693 07:51:57.960 --> 07:52:01.080 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: But it gives you a higher confidence level than by application. asr-008694 07:52:01.620 --> 07:52:04.100 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Parang kung sino ang may access sa computer, sila mag-a-apply. asr-008695 07:52:04.280 --> 07:52:05.380 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tapos yun lang ang susuriin natin. asr-008696 07:52:05.500 --> 07:52:08.640 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: That's what we're trying to do. asr-008697 07:52:08.840 --> 07:52:09.840 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Secrex. asr-008698 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. asr-008699 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. asr-008700 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. asr-008701 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. asr-008702 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 asr-008703 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. asr-008704 07:52:41.840 --> 07:52:45.440 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So every year, nagbaliktad naman yung problema nila, Secrex. asr-008705 07:52:45.640 --> 07:52:52.140 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sa distribution po doon sa octogenarian award, ang nangyayari po delay. asr-008706 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 asr-008707 07:53:07.640 --> 07:53:09.340 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: versus the actual number of enrollees. asr-008708 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. asr-008709 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. asr-008710 07:53:24.640 --> 07:53:28.140 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And I think before the next budget season, sana maayos na. asr-008711 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. asr-008712 07:53:34.440 --> 07:53:35.640 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Pero yun po kasi nangyayari. asr-008713 07:53:35.840 --> 07:53:37.440 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I recognize the problem. asr-008714 07:53:37.640 --> 07:53:41.640 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Na ang nangyayari, nade-delay yung distribution po. asr-008715 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. asr-008716 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. asr-008717 07:53:54.640 --> 07:53:58.440 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Syempre give or take. Meron hong kasamang palad, papanaw. asr-008718 07:53:58.640 --> 07:54:01.440 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Pero wala naman ho madadagdag na doon, more or less, asr-008719 07:54:01.640 --> 07:54:05.440 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi alam mo na naman sino mag-80, 85, 90, 95, 100. asr-008720 07:54:05.640 --> 07:54:07.440 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Madam Chair, Mr. Chairman. asr-008721 07:54:07.640 --> 07:54:08.840 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: I have to keep on repeating this. asr-008722 07:54:09.040 --> 07:54:10.240 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Mag-a-accrue ito nang mag-a-accrue. asr-008723 07:54:10.440 --> 07:54:14.240 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: As mentioned by the executive director kanina, may backlog na. asr-008724 07:54:14.440 --> 07:54:15.640 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tapos magba-backlog ulit. asr-008725 07:54:15.840 --> 07:54:17.040 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Tapos magba-backlog ulit. asr-008726 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. asr-008727 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. asr-008728 07:54:25.640 --> 07:54:29.440 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: We already gave them the system, the process. asr-008729 07:54:29.640 --> 07:54:31.440 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: And I think DBM will agree with that. asr-008730 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 asr-008731 07:54:35.640 --> 07:54:36.440 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: was really way off. asr-008732 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. asr-008733 07:54:44.240 --> 07:54:50.240 Rep.

Suansing: Have you engaged with the PSA? asr-008739 07:55:06.440 --> 07:55:10.440 Rep. Mikaela Angela B.

We just put 48 kasi we saw the unexpected utilization this year asr-008840 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, asr-008841 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 asr-008842 08:02:41.920 --> 08:02:44.800 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: million thereabouts. And then noong 2025, asr-008843 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. asr-008844 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, asr-008845 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. asr-008846 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. asr-008847 08:03:15.360 --> 08:03:19.440 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Now, just to do the simplistic math, if you look at 2027 asr-008848 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, asr-008849 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 asr-008850 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 asr-008851 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 asr-008852 08:03:47.940 --> 08:03:50.380 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: or request that we are pushing for. asr-008852-split-2 08:03:50.380 --> 08:03:53.960 Rep.

Suansing: the 2026 figures the 63.4 billion as you said has been 70 percent utilized as of now but that asr-008854 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 asr-008855 08:04:07.040 --> 08:04:07.878 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: iba pa po yan? asr-008855-split-2 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 asr-008856 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 asr-008857 08:04:22.840 --> 08:04:23.900 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: kasi kailan ibabalik asr-008858 08:04:23.900 --> 08:04:23.940 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: sa asr-008859 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. asr-008859-split-2 08:04:47.840 --> 08:04:53.880 Rep.

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? asr-008860-split-2 08:05:20.160 --> 08:05:23.420 DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian: Yes, 75 thereabouts. 70 to 75. But asr-008861 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 asr-008862 08:05:42.400 --> 08:05:52.760 Rep.
