176
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,920
DOLE Presenter: benefiting 1,458 workers.

177
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:40,460
DOLE Presenter: For 2027, we propose to sustain all of our targets under case management.

178
00:19:41,060 --> 00:19:45,160

188
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,780

193
00:20:37,860 --> 00:20:41,160
DOLE Presenter: reflecting our strong investment in technical vocational training

194
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,520

198
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,400

00:20:57,580 --> 00:21:00,040
DOLE Presenter: and ILS at 79 million.

201
00:21:01,020 --> 00:21:05,920
DOLE Presenter: Fiscal year 2027 NEP of 47.057 billion

202
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:14,140
DOLE Presenter: is 14.116 billion lower than the 2026 GAA of 61.173 billion.

203
00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:16,140
DOLE Presenter: However, it is 2.675 billion higher

204
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:22,780
DOLE Presenter: than the fiscal year 2026 NEP of 44.382 billion.

205
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,300
DOLE Presenter: Overall, the fiscal year 2027 proposal shows an increase from the previous NEP,

206
00:21:28,580 --> 00:21:31,260
DOLE Presenter: but a significant reduction from the current GAA.

207
00:21:31,700 --> 00:21:37,320
DOLE Presenter: The department originally proposed 70.426 billion for fiscal year 2027

208
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,680
DOLE Presenter: to address key labour sector priorities.

209
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:44,780
DOLE Presenter: However, the 2027 NEP provides only 47.57 billion,

210
00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:46,680
DOLE Presenter: a 23.368 billion,

211
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,820
DOLE Presenter: or a 33.18% reduction from the original proposal.

212
00:21:51,820 --> 00:21:57,540
DOLE Presenter: Overall, the recommended budget for DoLE decreased by 14.116 billion,

213
00:21:57,540 --> 00:21:59,280
DOLE Presenter: or 23.08%,

214
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,880
DOLE Presenter: compared with the 2026 GAA.

215
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:08,480
DOLE Presenter: This reduction is primarily due to lower budget allocations for DoLE, NCMB, NLRC, and TESDA.

216
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:16,840
DOLE Presenter: Conversely, the recommended budgets for ILS, NWPC, and PRC increased compared with their 2026 GAA levels.

217
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,560
DOLE Presenter: Compared with the 2027 proposed budget

218
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,300
DOLE Presenter: compared with the 2027 proposed budget submitted to the DBM,

219
00:22:21,300 --> 00:22:22,420
DOLE Presenter: the 2027 NEP

220
00:22:22,420 --> 00:22:27,640
DOLE Presenter: the 2027 NEP reflects a net decrease of 23.368 billion,

221
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,280
DOLE Presenter: or 33.18% in total funding.

222
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:36,120
DOLE Presenter: The 2027 NEP of 47.57 billion,

223
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:39,780
DOLE Presenter: is distributed across three main allotment classes,

224
00:22:39,780 --> 00:22:45,000
DOLE Presenter: 38.89 billion is allotted for maintenance and other operating expenses,

225
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,220
DOLE Presenter: 8.443 billion is

226
00:22:46,220 --> 00:22:46,720
DOLE Presenter: allocated

227
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:52,500
DOLE Presenter: to personnel services, and 525 million is allocated to capital outlay.

228
00:22:52,980 --> 00:22:58,140
DOLE Presenter: While the overall budget reflects significant reductions, personnel services increased by

229
00:22:58,140 --> 00:23:04,320
DOLE Presenter: 0.021 billion from last year. The increase also covers the salaries and benefits of newly hired

230
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:09,280
DOLE Presenter: and promoted employees, field non-permanent positions, and terminal leave benefits of

231
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:16,320
DOLE Presenter: mandatory retirees. For maintenance and other operating expenses, the 2026 NEP amounted to

232
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:25,820
DOLE Presenter: 35.05 billion, which increased significantly to 51.91 billion under the 2026 GAA. For 2027,

233
00:23:26,140 --> 00:23:36,180
DOLE Presenter: the proposed NEP stands at 38.10 billion. Compared with the 2026 GAA, the 2027 NEP is lower by 13.82

234
00:23:36,180 --> 00:23:42,800
DOLE Presenter: billion. However, compared with the 2026 NEP, it reflects an increase of 3.44 billion.

235
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,240
DOLE Presenter: The reduction from the 2026 GAA is

236
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:52,740
DOLE Presenter: mainly due to lower funding requirements for key programs, including TUPAD, DILP, STEP,

237
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:58,640
DOLE Presenter: TWSP, and LEAP, and the completion of projects and implementation of the final major projects

238
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:06,540
DOLE Presenter: under the ISSP. For capital outlays, the 2027 NEP reflects a significant decrease of 0.39 billion

239
00:24:06,540 --> 00:24:13,200
DOLE Presenter: compared with the 2026 NEP, and a reduction of 0.321 billion compared to the 2026 GAA.

240
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,220
DOLE Presenter: The substantial decline is primarily attributed

241
00:24:16,220 --> 00:24:20,820
DOLE Presenter: to the scaled-down implementation of the computerization program and the completion of major

242
00:24:20,820 --> 00:24:29,040
DOLE Presenter: projects under the ISSP. This section compares the proposed 2027 NEP with the 2026 GAA for key

243
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:35,680
DOLE Presenter: DOLE programs. Major program changes, there are increases in the budget allocations for the alien

DOLE Presenter: With the unpredictable nature of calamities, frequent emergency situations, and challenge

261
00:25:50,660 --> 00:25:56,160

00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:01,500
DOLE Presenter: We strongly reiterate our request to restore the TUPAD budget to its 2026 level.

00:28:31,790 --> 00:28:46,900
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Thank you, Secretary Francis Tolentino, for the presentation. And now, I'd like to ask Secretary Kiko if you would like to present a very short presentation of TESDA's budget.

305
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:58,900
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: We will try and attempt, Mr. Chair, to do a short presentation. I'll speed through the slides if I can,

306
00:28:58,900 --> 00:29:02,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: With your permission.

307
00:29:02,610 --> 00:29:04,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Next slide, please.

308
00:29:04,610 --> 00:29:06,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: I guess I would just like to highlight

309
00:29:06,610 --> 00:29:08,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and frame the TESDA budget

310
00:29:08,610 --> 00:29:10,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: along three major points.

311
00:29:10,610 --> 00:29:12,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The first is that

312
00:29:12,610 --> 00:29:14,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: 2026 is of course the highest

313
00:29:14,610 --> 00:29:16,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: budget that TESDA has ever

314
00:29:16,610 --> 00:29:18,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: received at 26

315
00:29:18,610 --> 00:29:20,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: billion pesos

316
00:29:20,610 --> 00:29:22,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and that the NEP this year

317
00:29:22,610 --> 00:29:24,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: is at a decline

318
00:29:24,610 --> 00:29:26,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: as already mentioned by the

319
00:29:26,610 --> 00:29:28,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Department of Labor and Employment.

320
00:29:28,610 --> 00:29:30,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The second is in fact

321
00:29:30,610 --> 00:29:32,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to say that

322
00:29:32,610 --> 00:29:34,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: TVET

323
00:29:34,610 --> 00:29:36,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: is an effective tool for

324
00:29:36,610 --> 00:29:38,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: success as was said by the

325
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:40,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: President in the SONA 2026

326
00:29:40,610 --> 00:29:42,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and in fact is crucial

327
00:29:42,610 --> 00:29:44,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: as part of our response

328
00:29:44,610 --> 00:29:46,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to AI potential disruption

329
00:29:46,610 --> 00:29:48,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to our workforce

330
00:29:48,610 --> 00:29:50,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: since we also do upskilling

331
00:29:50,610 --> 00:29:52,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: in general for employed Filipinos.

332
00:29:52,610 --> 00:29:54,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The third maybe is to

333
00:29:54,610 --> 00:29:56,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: point out that

334
00:29:56,610 --> 00:29:58,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: in the next 10 to 15 years

335
00:29:58,610 --> 00:29:59,900
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: the Philippine

336
00:29:59,900 --> 00:30:04,900
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: population growth will plateau and begin to decline, which means our demographic dividend

337
00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:11,580
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: will also begin to decline. All three things is to point out that there is an urgency for

338
00:30:11,580 --> 00:30:17,100
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: TESDA, in fact, to ramp up its services to ensure that our workforce is ready for any

339
00:30:17,100 --> 00:30:22,600
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: potential disruptions, as well as maximize our demographic dividend.

340
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:30,880
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Next slide, please. This is basically to point out and to the committee that TESDA functions

341
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:36,080
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: under three different delivery modes. We have the enterprise-based training, education,

342
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:46,140
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: institution-based training, and community-based training. There are over 4,715 private TVIs,

343
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,700
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: 271 public LUCs, SUCs.

345
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:08,280
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Next slide, please. The main question that most committee members asked at the consultation

346
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:15,760
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: meeting last week was really how we direct our scholarship funds. And the scholarship funds of

347
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:22,440
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: TESDA, Mr. Chair, is actually directed through certain priorities that are given by

348
00:31:22,820 --> 00:31:28,900
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: the national government, and this is of course at the moment being directed by the NAT plan of EDCOM.

357
00:31:56,180 --> 00:32:04,900
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and concentration of our fund distribution it is true that for 2026 scholarship funds can support

00:32:04,900 --> 00:32:12,980
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: between 630 to around 650 000 filipinos i would like to point out the tvet ecosystem nationwide

366
00:32:55,220 --> 00:33:00,740

367
00:33:00,740 --> 00:33:04,660
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and 2026 was when we launched the TESDA Skills Passport

368
00:33:04,660 --> 00:33:08,180
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: with now 354,000 users. It is an all-in-one app

373
00:33:33,940 --> 00:33:35,940
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to implement as well.

374

00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:37,340
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: We have been tasked, again, by EDCOM to ensure we increase our higher-level NC's because

393
00:35:21,500 --> 00:35:26,480

394
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:31,440
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: up-skilling for BPO, TESDA was tasked to craft the A.I.

403
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:33,520

404
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:41,260
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: 140,000 have been assessed on electronics assembly skills since January 2025.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Next, please.

413
00:37:34,620 --> 00:37:41,980
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Perhaps the most important piece is to point out that the employment rate of TVET graduates,

417
00:37:58,100 --> 00:38:03,940
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: may receive after our training, as well as to track them individually, perhaps through

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Now, this is one of our more accessible, because the training is free.

425
00:38:37,410 --> 00:38:42,530
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: We have MOOCs online with various partners, as some of which are also TESDA.

426
00:38:42,530 --> 00:38:52,230

428
00:38:59,450 --> 00:39:09,490
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The last is, of course, a report on the ADB-funded SIP TVETs in expanding TVET capacity nationwide

429
00:39:09,490 --> 00:39:16,810
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: through regional innovation centers. These are designed, one per region, to ensure that, in fact,

430
00:39:16,870 --> 00:39:22,330
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: we can have an ecosystem of polytechnics that can do higher-level diploma programs,

431
00:39:22,330 --> 00:39:32,800
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: particularly for emerging industries. Next slide. We also have an ongoing convergence

432
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:40,840
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: with DMW and OWWA so that we can provide free assessment for OFWs, as well as boosting

433
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:41,120
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: scalability.

434
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:48,660
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: skills of returning or repatriated OFW workers. The intention here is to create professional

435
00:39:48,660 --> 00:39:56,380
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: occupational pathways for OFWs, even while they are overseas, as well as to aid repatriated

436
00:39:56,380 --> 00:40:02,380
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: OFWs in whatever training they might require, including entrepreneurship, should they wish

437
00:40:02,380 --> 00:40:10,580
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to open their own enterprises. This is available in at least eight sites globally,

438
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:11,460
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and will be available in the next few years.

439
00:40:11,460 --> 00:40:11,480
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Thank you.

440
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:17,480
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: With our convergence with DMW and OWWA increasing in number.

441
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:26,100
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Next is our free assessment for senior high school learners. For K-12 graduates to become

442
00:40:26,100 --> 00:40:35,000
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: employment ready, we have provided 427,000 senior high school learners a proper assessment

443
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:40,840
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: so that they have their certification for NC2 and NC3 for employment. Perhaps worth

444
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:50,840
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: flagging, Mr. Chair, is 6,143 teachers have been trained to become assessors since 2024.

445
00:40:50,840 --> 00:41:01,400
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: And in 2027, and this is an ask, now TESDA plans to train 4,888 teachers in NC courses

446
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:09,720
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and 23,845 teachers in TM1 or methodology for TVET training to deliver the emerging

447
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:10,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: or new TechPro program in the strengthened senior high school curriculum.

448
00:41:10,820 --> 00:41:15,460
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: This is meant

449
00:41:15,460 --> 00:41:21,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to ensure alignment between industry driven training regulations and assessment with

450
00:41:21,820 --> 00:41:27,500
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: the curriculum of Dep Ed for senior high school.

451
00:41:27,500 --> 00:41:34,560
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Next slide is to point out that the ongoing efforts of convergence with CHED, Mr. Chair,

452
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:40,800
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: for our compliance with the ladderization law has created a greater number

453
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:47,840
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: of Philippine credit transfer systems that can create seamless pathways in tertiary education.

454
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:56,720
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: as this increases mr chair we predict more and more diploma programs will open across the country

455
00:41:56,720 --> 00:42:07,520
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: as the option of a seamless pathway across that tesla and ched emerges next slide please

456
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:17,120
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: next slide so as a report mr chair tesla received its largest budget on record in

457
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:24,160
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: fiscal year 2026 and the same year the philippines devoted the highest share of its gdp to education

458
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:32,400
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: in its history for tesla this was 2.2 percent of the total education budget for 2026 i would

459
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:37,280
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: like to point out mr chair that for 2027 in the nep test that becomes

460
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:47,600
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: 1.88 percent of the total education budget next slide simply to point out that the 2027 nep

461
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:55,680
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: is 46.8 percent lower than the proposed 2027 test the budget but it is also

462
00:42:55,680 --> 00:43:09,630
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: as already been pointed out by dole lower than the ga of 2026. next slide more or less the fund

463
00:43:09,950 --> 00:43:14,510
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: utilization by August of 2026

464
00:43:14,510 --> 00:43:20,030
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: is similar to the spending at the same period last year,

465
00:43:20,030 --> 00:43:27,230
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and we as usual catch up some of the reasons, Mr. Chair.

466
00:43:27,230 --> 00:43:35,880
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So for the final, perhaps most important slide, Mr. Chair,

467
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:40,760
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: our request is to, at the very least, if we cannot get our tier two requests,

468
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:48,680
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: at least capacitate TESDA with an equal budget as was given in the GAA of 2026.

469
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:56,060
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The request then is broken down for an additional $5.3 billion for scholarship programs

470
00:43:56,060 --> 00:43:59,760
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to serve an additional 162,000 learners.

474
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,840
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: And this one, Mr. Chair, is perhaps the most important.

475
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:35,180
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: An additional request for the universal access to quality tertiary education

476
00:44:35,180 --> 00:44:38,360

480
00:44:54,740 --> 00:45:00,200
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Free TVET is very much a part of higher qualification levels within UAQTE,

481
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:07,500
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and commensurate funding should be provided. Finally, the last two is an

482
00:45:07,500 --> 00:45:13,800
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: additional six hundred and twelve million for alignment of tech pro to

523
00:48:18,530 --> 00:48:21,530
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Isa po sa mga well-performing po na mga ahensya ng gobyerno.

524
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:29,960
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: For TESDA.

525
00:48:32,250 --> 00:48:32,870
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: That's another.

526
00:48:32,890 --> 00:48:33,390
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: That's another topic.

527
00:48:34,830 --> 00:48:41,390
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Chair, noong August 13, naglabas ng order ang Pasig RTC Branch 152, stating,

528
00:48:42,070 --> 00:48:48,870
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: let a writ of preliminary injunction be issued upon posting a bond of 10 billion pesos.

529
00:48:49,510 --> 00:48:53,770
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: As party to the case, nakapaglagak na po ba ang mga petitioner ng bond?

530
00:48:53,890 --> 00:48:55,950
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: This is answerable by yes or no, Mr. Chair.

531
00:48:57,210 --> 00:48:58,470
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I'm not aware. Therefore, it's no.

532
00:48:59,190 --> 00:49:00,830
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, hindi po nakapaglagak.

533
00:49:00,830 --> 00:49:01,930
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I'm not aware of this.

534
00:49:02,890 --> 00:49:06,390
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: You're not aware po, Mr. Secretary, but DOLE is party to the case.

535
00:49:06,410 --> 00:49:11,570
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: That's why we filed a motion for immediate resolution last September 3, Your Honor.

536
00:49:12,930 --> 00:49:14,450
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Secretary, tama po yan.

537
00:49:14,510 --> 00:49:21,630
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: In fact, the petitioners themselves admitted na hindi nila kayang makapaglagak ng 10 billion pesos bond.

538
00:49:22,490 --> 00:49:32,210
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Sabi ng OSG, in the absence of a writ, walang pumipigil sa DOLE na ipatupad ang dagdag sahod.

539
00:49:32,210 --> 00:49:39,450
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kahapon, sabi po ng Judiciary sa budget hearing, kapag walang bond, walang injunction.

540
00:49:40,230 --> 00:49:43,990
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Therefore, in effect, ang Wage Order No. 27.

541
00:49:44,170 --> 00:49:49,670
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: The question is, what is the position of DOLE sa usapin ng pagpapatupad ng Wage Order?

542
00:49:49,670 --> 00:50:00,050
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Your Honor, members of this committee, the Office of the Solicitor General stands as the legal counsel of the Department of Labor and Employment.

543
00:50:00,630 --> 00:50:01,970
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Therefore, we are in unison.

544
00:50:02,210 --> 00:50:06,030
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: With the legal position of the Office of the Solicitor General.

545
00:50:06,910 --> 00:50:18,530
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: The Supreme Court announcement yesterday, perhaps I saw a clip in the reels, was reflective of Rule 59 of the Rules of Court,

546
00:50:18,530 --> 00:50:23,430
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: which I totally agree, sans a posting of a bond.

547
00:50:24,350 --> 00:50:27,770
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: The writ is not in order, Your Honor.

548
00:50:28,150 --> 00:50:31,550
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: If that is the case, Secretary, bakit hindi po ipatupad?

549
00:50:32,210 --> 00:50:35,530
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ng Department of Labor and Employment yung Wage Order No. 27.

550
00:50:36,270 --> 00:50:37,690
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ikaw po mismo ang nagsasabi.

551
00:50:38,430 --> 00:50:42,710
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Na kinikilala nyo ang posisyon ng gobyerno, no bond, no injunction.

552
00:50:42,710 --> 00:50:51,870
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Therefore, yung dagdag sahod ng mga minimum wage earner ay dapat ipatupad at ibigay na since July 25.

553
00:50:52,470 --> 00:50:53,910
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary.

554
00:50:55,710 --> 00:51:00,010
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Mr. Chairman, Your Honor, members of this committee,

555
00:51:02,210 --> 00:51:04,230
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Department of Labor,

556
00:51:04,230 --> 00:51:20,410
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ang kagawaran po ng empleyo ay naniniwala na ang paglilift ng injunction is not a matter of self-help.

557
00:51:21,630 --> 00:51:27,990
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Naniniwala po tayo sa mga inilabas na desisyon ng Korte Suprema.

558
00:51:28,350 --> 00:51:32,190
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kabilang na po ang LCK versus Pagbilao Development Corporation,

559
00:51:32,210 --> 00:51:41,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: G.R. 195374, 19 March 2014, which I quote:

560
00:51:44,380 --> 00:51:47,420
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: The Supreme Court questioned us,

561
00:51:47,940 --> 00:51:51,160
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I mean us, not just the executive branch,

562
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:56,540
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: against treating a bond defect, including the non-filing thereof,

563
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:03,120
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: not as an automatic license to disregard injunctive relief.

564
00:52:05,980 --> 00:52:12,420
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Failure to fix a bond or post a bond did not itself justify quashing the injunction.

565
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:21,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And, Your Honor, there is another case, Development Bank of the Philippines versus Carpio, GR 147-191,

566
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:33,340
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: where the Supreme Court mentioned that there is no such thing as a doctrine of unilateral disregard.

567
00:52:33,340 --> 00:52:35,800
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang ibig pong sabihin, Your Honor,

568
00:52:35,980 --> 00:52:40,800
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: If there is a facial court restraint which is outstanding,

569
00:52:41,580 --> 00:52:48,580
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: the affected party should obtain a judicial declaration of that consequence

570
00:52:48,580 --> 00:52:53,900
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: rather than conclusively deciding the matter for itself.

571
00:52:54,500 --> 00:52:59,400
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang ibig pong sabihin, Mr. Chairman, Your Honors, with all due respect,

572
00:53:00,060 --> 00:53:05,360
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi po ang dole, hindi po ang litigants.

573
00:53:05,980 --> 00:53:09,960
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang magdi-desisyon kung mali ang proseso.

574
00:53:10,660 --> 00:53:13,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang magdi-desisyon po nito ay ang husgado.

575
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:21,900
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Sila po lang ang may puder, courts, have the discretion over the bond and the integrity of a bond,

576
00:53:21,900 --> 00:53:27,240
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and that does not automatically void any previous injunction,

577
00:53:27,500 --> 00:53:31,760
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and the objecting party must challenge it, and the court must correct it.

578
00:53:32,180 --> 00:53:35,840
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: That's why, Your Honor, we filed this, September 3,

579
00:53:35,980 --> 00:53:41,660
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ang abugado po namin ay Office of the Solicitor General, motion to resolve.

580
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:42,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yes, Mr. Secretary.

581
00:53:42,820 --> 00:53:43,840
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I-resolve na nila.

582
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:49,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Sa ngayon, kung ano po yung inyong nararamdaman, yun din po yung aming nararamdaman.

583
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:55,880
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: But, again, I raise this principle, and members of the bar here present would agree with me,

584
00:53:57,140 --> 00:54:04,040
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: that the doctrine of self-help is applicable in a very narrow or limited situations.

585
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:05,320
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: For instance,

586
00:54:05,980 --> 00:54:11,140
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: nung katadaan lang pong habagat, Your Honor, marami nakikinig ngayon,

587
00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:17,080
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: applicable po yung doktrina sa Civil Code of the Philippines, Article 429,

588
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,260
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na kung mababa yung lugar mo, yung kapitbahay mo yung mas mataas,

589
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:28,520
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: pwede mong ilipat yung gamit doon sa mataas ng lugar na kahit walang court order, yung po yung self-help.

590
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,960
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Sa criminal case, meron po tayo sa rules of court.

591
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,120
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: If a crime is being committed,

592
00:54:35,980 --> 00:54:37,720
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: one's presence, you can arrest.

593
00:54:38,340 --> 00:54:39,460
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: That's a citizen's arrest.

594
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,640
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: That's a doctrine of self-help.

595
00:54:42,100 --> 00:54:43,260
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Konti-konti lang po yan.

596
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:49,220
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Subalit, Your Honor, there is no comparable doctrine, general doctrine,

597
00:54:49,740 --> 00:54:53,880
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: authorizing a litigant or a government agency, including the DOLE,

598
00:54:54,420 --> 00:54:58,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to substitute its own judgment for that of a court,

599
00:54:58,820 --> 00:55:04,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and unilaterally treat a judicial injunction as nonexistent,

600
00:55:04,820 --> 00:55:08,540
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: merely because it believes, as I believe,

601
00:55:08,980 --> 00:55:14,040
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: that the bond requirement has not been satisfied.

602
00:55:14,540 --> 00:55:15,180
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Chair,

603
00:55:15,540 --> 00:55:16,600
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: yung po yung...

604
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:16,980
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Chair,

605
00:55:17,180 --> 00:55:18,880
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Chair,

606
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,780
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: pasimplihan lang po natin, Sekretary.

607
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:25,780
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Walang bond, walang injunction.

608
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,920
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Therefore, the wage order is in effect.

609
00:55:29,540 --> 00:55:30,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Tama ba, Mr. Sekretary?

610
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:31,280
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ganito po yun.

611
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:33,140
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Yes or no po.

612
00:55:33,140 --> 00:55:34,480
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: There is no bond.

613
00:55:35,060 --> 00:55:35,380
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Therefore,

614
00:55:35,380 --> 00:55:36,980
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: therefore, there is no injunction.

615
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,020
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: There is no bond.

616
00:55:39,380 --> 00:55:39,960
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: There is no writ.

617
00:55:41,220 --> 00:55:43,560
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ibig sabihin, the wage order is in effect.

618
00:55:44,060 --> 00:55:46,720
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: There is an injunction insofar as the writ is concerned.

619
00:55:46,740 --> 00:55:48,140
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: There is no writ.

620
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:49,660
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Paliwanag ko po.

621
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:50,040
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Hindi po.

622
00:55:50,140 --> 00:55:51,140
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kung papayagan niyo po ako.

623
00:55:51,220 --> 00:55:51,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Magkaiba po yung injunction.

624
00:55:51,940 --> 00:55:57,000
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Chair, malinaw po ang nakasulat sa order ni RTC Branch 152,

625
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:59,900
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Pasig Judge Mary Joyce Manungsong.

626
00:55:59,900 --> 00:56:04,900
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Let a preliminary injunction be issued upon...

627
00:56:05,380 --> 00:56:07,880
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Posting a bond of 10 billion pesos.

628
00:56:08,020 --> 00:56:08,700
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: There is no bond.

629
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:10,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pwede po akong magsalita?

630
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:11,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Yes po.

631
00:56:11,780 --> 00:56:12,420
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ganito po yun.

632
00:56:13,380 --> 00:56:17,280
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kung atin pong bubusisiin yung kasaysayan nito,

633
00:56:17,900 --> 00:56:21,640
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: nagsimula po ito sa status ko ante order.

634
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:27,460
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: That was issued by the executive branch judge of Pasig RTC.

635
00:56:27,460 --> 00:56:32,240
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: That was July 24, a day before the implementation.

636
00:56:33,540 --> 00:56:34,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pakatapos po nun,

637
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sumunod yung Temporary Restraining Order.

638
00:56:37,940 --> 00:56:41,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang kasunod po nun, kasi maglalapse yung Temporary Restraining Order,

639
00:56:41,940 --> 00:56:45,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ito na nga pong writ of preliminary injunction.

640
00:56:45,940 --> 00:56:50,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So there would be two documents visually in front of me right now.

641
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:57,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: The order of injunction as well as the writ which requires, as a condition precedent,

642
00:56:57,940 --> 00:57:00,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: the payment of the 10 billion bond.

643
00:57:00,940 --> 00:57:02,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Without the bond,

644
00:57:02,940 --> 00:57:03,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: without the bond,

645
00:57:03,940 --> 00:57:05,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: the writ falls.

646
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: But facially,

647
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:11,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: starting from the status quo order,

648
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Temporary Restraining Order,

649
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: the injunction order,

650
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:21,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: you have a facially substantial order coming from the court,

651
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:27,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: which the court has the sole right to lift, correct, or dissolve.

652
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: That's why we filed a motion to resolve.

653
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:30,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi po,

654
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:31,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: mawalanggalang na po,

655
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:32,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: kung napataas yung buwasis ko,

656
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:33,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi po,

657
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:38,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: hindi po ang DOLE ang magde-decide kung na-dissolve na yung bond.

658
00:57:38,940 --> 00:57:44,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Under the threat of contempt pursuant to Rule 71,

659
00:57:44,940 --> 00:57:48,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: eh hindi po karapatan namin na mag-decide.

660
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Isimplihan ko na lang po siguro po ito.

661
00:57:51,940 --> 00:58:01,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Meron po akong halimbawa na tickets sa dalawang airline companies,

662
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:02,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na inamin naman nila na hindi na-issued.

663
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:09,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi naman po ako pwedeng pumunta na lang doon sa airport at dumiretso sa aeroplano.

664
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: There is a process for this.

665
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I should be given, recognized by the airline manager,

666
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I should be given a boarding pass.

667
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:23,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: In a similar manner, kung yung ating mga senior citizen ay nagkamali yung binigay na gamot ng mercury drug,

668
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:29,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: eh hindi naman basta pwedeng pumasok si lola o yung nanay ko sa bodega ng mercury drug para kunin yung tamang gamot.

669
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:30,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Mr. Chair,

670
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ganon din po dito. Lalong-lalong na po ito.

671
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:33,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

672
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:38,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ay hukuman. Pero lahat po ng sinasabi niyo ay nararamdaman ko po iyon.

673
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:45,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Secretary, so in simple words, hindi ipapatupad ng Department of Labor and Employment yung dagdag ng sahot?

674
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:50,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ipapatupad po namin. Ganito po yun. Ayun, napataas na naman yung boses ko.

675
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:58,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kayo po yun nag-file, at sinusuportahan ko kayo, kayo po yun nag-file ng certiorary sa Supreme Court.

676
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Para ang Regional Trial Court ay kumilos.

677
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I disregard yung injunction.

678
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:09,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Nagpa sa ilalim po ang mga grupo ninyo at lahat ng manggagawa.

679
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:17,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At tayo po ay sumusuporta dyan, including current petitions for intervention na makasali kayo sa usgado.

680
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:27,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Nung nag-file po kayo ng petisyon sa Supreme Court, ang ibig sabihin po, kinikilala rin nyo rin po yung hurisdiksyon, mawalanggalang na, with all due respect,

681
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ng hindi lang ng kataas-taas ang hukuman.

682
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:37,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kung hindi ng Regional Trial Court tumpasig. Dahil sinasabing nyo sa Supreme Court, orderan nyo ang RTC.

683
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:43,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Chair, ang argument nga po namin walang jurisdiksyon in the first place ang RTC.

684
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:49,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: That is why pumunta na kami sa Supreme Court para magbigay ng kalinawan ang mataas na hukuman.

685
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:57,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Dahil hindi namin kinikilala ang jurisdiksyon ng Regional Trial Court as already enshrined in the Labor Code, Article 126,

686
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: now being the Secretary of Labor.

687
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,760
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: board and employment, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair,

688
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,220
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: dapat nga hindi nyo kinilalay yung jurisdiction ng korte

689
01:00:06,220 --> 01:00:09,380
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: because it is very clear in Article 126.

690
01:00:10,300 --> 01:00:11,700
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: At merong appeal process.

691
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:16,520
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ang appeal process kung merong aggrieved party sa Article 123,

692
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,760
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: binabanggit sa National Wages and Productivity Commission.

693
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:25,720
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, ang binabanggit ng DOLE ngayon, pagkahaba-haba po nang ine-explain ninyo,

694
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:31,460
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: at the end of it all, sinasabi nyo, hindi nyo ipapatupad yung dagdag sahod.

695
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:32,620
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Wala po akong sinabing gano'n po.

696
01:00:32,700 --> 01:00:34,780
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: O di, ipapatupad nyo po yung dagdag sahod.

697
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,240
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ito po ay nakasalalay sa decision of the government.

698
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:38,080
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Hindi nga, Mr. Secretary.

699
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:39,220
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ayoko po magpagtalo.

700
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:40,140
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Secretary.

701
01:00:40,140 --> 01:00:42,480
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kahit po lumabas po ito sa social media.

702
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,000
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Yes. Meron po kayong kapangyarihan, Mr. Secretary.

703
01:00:47,100 --> 01:00:49,360
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Iginawad ng kongreso yan sa inyo.

704
01:00:50,140 --> 01:00:55,140
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: RA 6727, ibinigay sa mga regional wage boards

705
01:00:55,140 --> 01:00:58,880
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ang exclusive power in determining wages.

706
01:00:59,980 --> 01:01:02,480
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ngayon sinasabi po, DOLE mismo ang nagbabanggit,

707
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:04,740
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: parang hindi kayo makasagot.

708
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:05,960
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Yes or no lang, kasimple.

709
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,020
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ipatutupad ng DOLE, sang-ayon sa nakasulat sa batas.

710
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,480
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kung kakasuhan kayo, Mr. Secretary, nandyan ang OSG.

711
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,960
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ang inihingi po ng mga minimum wage earners at ng mga manggagawa,

712
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:20,760
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: tindigan nyo naman yung karapatan ng mga minimum wage earners.

713
01:01:20,860 --> 01:01:22,220
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Hindi po namin marinig sa inyo eh.

714
01:01:23,580 --> 01:01:24,840
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair,

715
01:01:25,140 --> 01:01:26,620
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: pwede na po ako magsalita?

716
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:27,160
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Yes po.

717
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:35,560
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Alam nyo po, Mr. Chairman, hinahangaan ko po kayo sa sinasabi nyo yan.

718
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:40,180
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Subalit, kung titignan natin yung Article 126,

719
01:01:40,860 --> 01:01:45,700
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: when it refers to a prohibition on injunction,

720
01:01:46,380 --> 01:01:48,360
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: it refers to a proceeding.

721
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,620
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kaya nga po, sa pagmamahal ko po sa inyong samahan

722
01:01:52,620 --> 01:01:54,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: at sa mga manggagawa na rin,

723
01:01:55,140 --> 01:02:00,220
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: tayo po ay nag-issue ng Administrative Order 264

724
01:02:00,220 --> 01:02:05,640
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: kung saan po natin niliwanag, pinaliwanag, pinalawak,

725
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:12,660
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: binigyan ng ilaw kung ano ang tamang ibig sabihin ng 126

726
01:02:12,660 --> 01:02:15,280
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: through an administrative order.

727
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:20,700
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At yan din po ang dahilan kung bakit yung dati kong colleague

728
01:02:20,700 --> 01:02:25,100
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sa mataas na kapulungan, si Sen. Rafi Tulfo,

729
01:02:25,140 --> 01:02:29,460
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ay nag-file ng amendatory bill sa Senado

730
01:02:29,460 --> 01:02:36,140
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: kung paano dapat maintindihan o mapalawak ang Article 126.

731
01:02:37,220 --> 01:02:39,480
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: 126 refers to proceedings.

732
01:02:40,260 --> 01:02:45,180
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So ang ginawa po natin sa Administrative Order No. 264

733
01:02:45,180 --> 01:02:49,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ay palawakin ang ibig sabihin ng proceedings, Your Honor.

734
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:53,860
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pwede po.

735
01:02:56,140 --> 01:02:59,260
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Palawakin ang ibig sabihin ng proceedings to include

736
01:02:59,620 --> 01:03:02,780
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: implementation, monitoring of the board,

737
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:11,780
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: execution, and ensuring that wage orders are complied with.

738
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:13,220
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pinalawak po natin yun.

739
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:19,380
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yung po siguro ang isang sinyales na pinaninindigan po natin

740
01:03:19,380 --> 01:03:23,540
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: kahit po nung pagpa-file natin ng motion for reconsideration

741
01:03:23,540 --> 01:03:28,460
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na basang-basa na po tayo ng ulan sa Lunsod ng Pasig at Bumabaha

742
01:03:28,460 --> 01:03:29,460
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ay tinuloy po natin.

743
01:03:29,620 --> 01:03:33,740
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At para sa kalaman po nga ng kagalanggalang

744
01:03:33,740 --> 01:03:39,340
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na mga kasama dito sa lupung ito,

745
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:41,000
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: tayo po ang nag-

746
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,280
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: kung kakausapin nyo ang Office of the Solicitor General,

747
01:03:44,460 --> 01:03:47,640
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: tayo po ang nagsulong, nag-udyok, at naghikayat

748
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:53,020
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na sila ang mag-file ng motion for early resolution.

749
01:03:53,620 --> 01:03:55,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Lahat po ng aking hakbang, Your Honors,

750
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ay nakasalalay sa batal.

751
01:03:59,620 --> 01:04:02,360
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: As bilang isang abugado,

752
01:04:03,460 --> 01:04:10,100
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: nanumpa po ako na puprotektahan ang batas,

753
01:04:10,420 --> 01:04:13,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: hindi lamang asaligang batas ng Pilipinas.

754
01:04:13,940 --> 01:04:15,180
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Binanggit ko po kanina

755
01:04:15,180 --> 01:04:21,240
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: that I do not subscribe to the doctrine of self-help.

756
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:26,420
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi po natin dapat hawakan sa sarili nating kamay

757
01:04:26,420 --> 01:04:28,780
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: anuman ang interpretasyon natin.

758
01:04:28,780 --> 01:04:33,680
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Gusto man natin o hindi na ito ang tamang ipatupad.

759
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:41,500
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We cannot be an arbiter of our own cause or controversies.

760
01:04:42,180 --> 01:04:44,540
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Dapat po sana maunawaan ng lupung ito

761
01:04:44,540 --> 01:04:49,000
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na ang ating ginagawa ay paggalang sa batas.

762
01:04:49,660 --> 01:04:52,720
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Tama po yung inyong sinasabi, naniniwala po ako,

763
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:58,740
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: tama rin po yung sinabi ng kung sino yung Supreme Court spokesperson kahapon,

764
01:04:58,780 --> 01:05:02,480
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na kung walang bond, walang writ.

765
01:05:03,620 --> 01:05:08,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Subalit, ang dapat magsabi po nito ay hindi ako,

766
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,780
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: kung hindi ang Supreme Court o ang husgado.

767
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:18,080
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At naniliwala rin po ako na karapatan ng manggagawang Pilipino

768
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:23,260
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sa National Capital Region na matagal kong pinaglingkuran sa Metro Manila

769
01:05:23,260 --> 01:05:27,420
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na makatanggap na sila ng karapat dapat na umento

770
01:05:27,420 --> 01:05:28,660
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: dahil sa taas.

771
01:05:28,660 --> 01:05:31,840
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Na ng presyo ng bilihin, kuryente, at iba pa.

772
01:05:32,500 --> 01:05:35,240
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: If that is your position, Mr. Chair, Mr. Sekretary,

773
01:05:35,860 --> 01:05:39,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: bakit hindi nyo po masabi na ipapatupad na ng dole?

774
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,500
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Paikot-ikot lang po tayo dito, Mr. Chair, Mr. Sekretary.

775
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:44,220
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Sinasabi nyo po, galangin yung batas.

776
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,580
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: E batas din naman po ang nagsasabi na kapangyarihan nyo

777
01:05:47,580 --> 01:05:50,280
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: yung magpatupad at magtakda ng sahod.

778
01:05:51,700 --> 01:05:54,680
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, bakit hindi po namin makuha mula sa inyo, Mr. Sekretary?

779
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:57,520
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Pasabihin nyo po yung paulit-ulit na naman,

780
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,120
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: paikot-ikot na naman tayo sa batas.

781
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,960
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Pero batas din ang nagsasabi, iginawad nga sa inyo.

782
01:06:02,300 --> 01:06:03,400
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Yung kapangyarihan.

783
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:06,320
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ngayon po, pwede po akong sumagot.

784
01:06:06,980 --> 01:06:08,860
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ngayon po kasi, your honor...

785
01:06:08,860 --> 01:06:10,340
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Maandar yung oras ko, Mr. Chair.

786
01:06:11,460 --> 01:06:12,220
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi ko po nakita.

787
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Dati po kasi sa Senado, hindi rin ako nakatingin dyan.

788
01:06:17,260 --> 01:06:18,960
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi ko po nakita yung oras. Sorry po.

789
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:20,600
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Uulitin ko po.

790
01:06:21,180 --> 01:06:24,760
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kung ano man po ang itinatakda ng batas,

791
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:26,760
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ang magpapalawig,

792
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:29,640
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: magpapaliwanag o magkaklarify

793
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:33,800
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: at magtatakda kung ano ang tamang interpretasyon

794
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:35,560
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ay ang husgado.

795
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,060
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Lalong-lalo na ang kataas-taasang hukuman

796
01:06:39,060 --> 01:06:41,160
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: at hindi po ang mga abugado.

797
01:06:42,260 --> 01:06:43,780
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi po ang mga litigants.

798
01:06:44,700 --> 01:06:47,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Tayo po ay miyembro ng bar

799
01:06:47,820 --> 01:06:50,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: at kumikinikilala natin

800
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,060
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ang supremacy of the law

801
01:06:53,060 --> 01:06:56,880
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: through our judicial institutions.

802
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:57,500
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, pagkakataon,

803
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:58,720
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: pag sinabi po ng husgado,

804
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ipatupad nyo mamaya, ipapatupad na po natin mamaya.

805
01:07:02,580 --> 01:07:04,020
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pag sinabi po ng husgado,

806
01:07:04,140 --> 01:07:05,100
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ipatupad nyo bukas,

807
01:07:05,220 --> 01:07:06,600
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ipapatupad natin bukas.

808
01:07:07,100 --> 01:07:09,260
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Tayo po ay nagpa-sa-ilalim sa batas

809
01:07:09,260 --> 01:07:11,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sa husgado. Kagaya na rin po

810
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:13,680
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ng ginawa nyo, nung kayo ay nag-file

811
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,020
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ng certiorary sa Supreme Court,

812
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:17,400
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: kayo ay nagpa-ilalim

813
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,700
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sa puder ng kataas-taasang

814
01:07:19,700 --> 01:07:21,760
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: hukuman. At hinihintay nyo,

815
01:07:22,140 --> 01:07:23,080
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: hinihintay ko rin

816
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,400
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: with bated breath

817
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,120
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: kung ano man po ang kalalabasan

818
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:28,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: nung sa Supreme Court.

819
01:07:29,780 --> 01:07:31,320
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Sige po. Alam nyo po,

820
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:32,700
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: tayo kaya nating mag-antay.

821
01:07:33,060 --> 01:07:35,660
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Pero ang mga minimum wage earner na araw-araw

822
01:07:35,660 --> 01:07:37,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: inaagawan ng 60 pesos,

823
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: maliit man sa pandinig natin, malaking bagay

824
01:07:39,620 --> 01:07:41,480
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: yan sa buhay ng mga minimum wage earner.

825
01:07:42,380 --> 01:07:43,600
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Yan po yung dahilan kung bakit

826
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,640
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: nagagalit tayo. Dahil naririnig

827
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:47,280
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: mismo natin sa dole, hindi nyo

828
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,160
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: kayang tindigan kung ano yung mandato ninyo.

829
01:07:49,740 --> 01:07:51,100
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Napakahaba po ng explanation,

830
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:53,540
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: pero hindi nyo kayang ipagtanggol man lang

831
01:07:53,540 --> 01:07:54,820
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: yung mga minimum wage earner.

832
01:07:54,820 --> 01:07:57,160
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kaya kung hindi nyo po kayang ipagtanggol,

833
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:58,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: yung mga manggagawa,

834
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:00,920
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: wala po kayong karapatan na humingi ng budget

835

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Yes.

01:59:40,700 --> 01:59:41,920

01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:43,500
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: lumabas yung

1364
01:59:43,500 --> 01:59:46,360
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: restraining order galing sa

1365
01:59:46,360 --> 01:59:48,700
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pasig RTC, ay atin

1366
01:59:48,700 --> 01:59:49,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: pong inilabas naman

1367
01:59:49,980 --> 01:59:51,740
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: bilang paghahanda

1368
01:59:51,740 --> 01:59:53,900
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: yung Administrative Order

1369
01:59:53,900 --> 01:59:56,880
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: 264, which will be

1370
01:59:56,880 --> 01:59:58,020
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: prospective

1371
01:59:58,020 --> 01:59:59,300
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: in application.

1372
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:13,040
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Para nang sa ganun po ay magabayan yung ating mga regional wage boards sa mga susunod na pagkakataon na kanilang ipatutupad yung bagong wage orders.

1373
02:00:13,040 --> 02:00:21,400
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At kabilang po dito ang nakaambana sa Region 7, sa Calabar Zone, at sa Region 3.

1374
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:27,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So yung Administrative Order 264 clarified prospectively.

1375
02:00:27,940 --> 02:00:36,520
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: What they should do, including monitoring, execution, and implementation.

1376
02:00:37,220 --> 02:00:43,760
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Naniniwala po kami that with this order ay mangangambana na po siguro yung iba namang magfafile.

1377
02:00:44,320 --> 02:00:48,640
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pero hindi pa rin siguro natin masasawat na lahat.

1378
02:00:48,640 --> 02:00:57,000
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pero dahil doon sa ating inilabas at kagaya po nung sinabi ko si Sen. Tulfo ay meron ding finile sa mataas na kapulungan,

1379
02:00:57,000 --> 02:01:10,840
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ay palagay ko po ito ay magiging sapat na balakid para hindi sila magsulong free-willingly ng mga ganoong court cases, Your Honor.

1380
02:01:11,640 --> 02:01:17,180
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Mr. Chair, just for the record, so pag lumabas po ang mga wage order na ito na pending sa iba't ibang regions,

1381
02:01:17,540 --> 02:01:23,220
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: paninindigan po ba ito ng DOLE kahit na may lumabas pa na injunction from other courts in these regions?

1382
02:01:24,580 --> 02:01:26,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Paninindigan po natin yan dahil klaro na po ngayon.

1383
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:34,060
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yung with Administrative Order 264, in-expand na po natin yung definition ng proceedings.

1384
02:01:34,600 --> 02:01:46,000
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Sa Article 126, yung proceedings ay yung proceedings, yung pagpulong sa isang hapag ng isang wage board o ng kakomisyon ng NWPC.

1385
02:01:46,860 --> 02:01:49,720
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So balit dito ay maliwanag na kung ano yung mga gagawin.

1386
02:01:49,720 --> 02:01:53,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So sa paninindigan, dati na po naman natin pinanindigan.

1387
02:01:54,380 --> 02:01:56,720
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So balit ngayon mas matibay po yung pinangahawakan natin.

1388
02:01:57,000 --> 02:02:02,640
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ng mga regional wage boards, pinangahawakan nila na dapat talagang ipatupad.

1389
02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:06,220
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: At yan po ang abangan at babantayan po ng ating mga manggagawa.

1390
02:02:06,880 --> 02:02:15,060
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kamakailan lamang po, nakailang beses akong bumalik doon sa picket line ng DUWU, yung DHL United Workers Union, na nandyan po sa sukat.

1391
02:02:15,460 --> 02:02:21,120
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: At sumulat din po ako sa inyong tanggapan at just yesterday natanggap ko po yung inyong tugon.

1392
02:02:21,120 --> 02:02:26,980
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: At gusto ko lang pong linawin kasi ang sinasabi ng DHL management ay nag-terminate daw po ng kontra,

1393
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:29,480
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ng Robinsons Supermarket Corporation.

1394
02:02:29,680 --> 02:02:37,120
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kaya bigla nilang isasarado yung kanila pong warehouse sa sukat dahil ito daw po ay wala ng reason para mag-open.

1395
02:02:37,240 --> 02:02:39,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: So ito po ay malinaw na union busting.

1396
02:02:39,680 --> 02:02:50,020
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ang tanong ko po sa Dole, nakita nyo po ba yung termination na letter or agreement between DHL and Robinsons Supermarket Corporation?

1397
02:02:51,240 --> 02:02:56,840
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Nakatutok po tayo dyan yung ating pong NCMB at yung ilan po nating,

1398
02:02:57,000 --> 02:02:58,040
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Assistant Secretaries.

1399
02:02:58,240 --> 02:03:04,300
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: In fact, merong mga pangkasalukuyang pag-uusap at alam ko naman po, Your Honor, kayo nakatutok din.

1400
02:03:04,680 --> 02:03:14,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Siguro ipagpaumanhinan na nahuli ng dating yung aking tugon dahil napakaraming mga holiday noong mga nakaraang araw dahil sa habagat.

1401
02:03:14,980 --> 02:03:21,700
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pero kung makukuha niyo po ang detalye, nandito si Asec Kati sa akin.

1402
02:03:22,240 --> 02:03:23,460
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi ko alam kung saan siya nakatayo.

1403
02:03:24,380 --> 02:03:26,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Si Asek Kati, can you provide some details?

1404
02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:45,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: As to depending DHL concern without sacrificing some quasi-subjudice materials that would impact the current conciliation.

1405
02:03:46,260 --> 02:03:47,520
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Go ahead, Asek Kati.

1406
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:54,540
DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado: Mr. Chair, Your Honors, good afternoon po.

1407
02:03:54,540 --> 02:04:11,480
DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado: To answer your question, with permission of the Secretary, ang nakita lang po namin ay yung service agreement na huli. Yun po yung nakita ng Department of Labor for the first five years.

1408
02:04:11,840 --> 02:04:13,040
DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado: Ang NCMB po ang nakaka-

1409
02:04:13,040 --> 02:04:17,760
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Can you repeat that, please? Medyo mahina po. If you can speak closer to the microphone. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

1410
02:04:17,760 --> 02:04:22,760
DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado: Yes, sir. Through the NCMB, Your Honor, nakita po namin yung service agreement which…

1411
02:04:24,540 --> 02:04:29,920
DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado: For the first five years. 2018 to 2025 po ang expiry niya.

1412
02:04:30,200 --> 02:04:40,480
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Opo. Kasi po, kung matatanda po ng ating mga kababayan, ang mismo pong DHL, in-announce last year na na-extend for another three years yung kanila pong kontrata sa DHL.

1413
02:04:40,580 --> 02:04:44,680
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Nakita po ba natin ito, yung pronouncement na ito, mismo ng DHL?

1414
02:04:44,920 --> 02:04:46,000
DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado: Hindi po, Your Honor.

1415
02:04:46,860 --> 02:04:52,900
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Marami po kasi nagtatanong, why is the DOLE giving credence to this union buster that is DHL?

1416
02:04:53,060 --> 02:04:54,520
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kaya po, yung isa po sa tanong.

1417
02:04:54,540 --> 02:05:04,520
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kung natin sa DOLE, ay bakit hindi niyo po ginamit ang Article 292B ng Labor Code para pigilan ang mass termination na ating mga gagawa sa DHL po?

1418
02:05:06,120 --> 02:05:16,740
DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado: Sir, kasi po, at this point po, nakasara na po ang DHL. Na-terminate na po yung service agreement and nagkaroon na po ng transition.

1419
02:05:17,160 --> 02:05:24,100
DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado: So, we, on the part of the Department of Labor, it has become moot na po.

1420
02:05:24,540 --> 02:05:37,680
DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado: To suspend any termination since the termination of the employee through redundancy, based on redundancy, took effect August 31 of this year.

1421
02:05:39,060 --> 02:05:42,160
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Nakababahala po, Mr. Chair, na isa itong malinaw na union busting.

1422
02:05:42,320 --> 02:05:48,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kaya po, marami nagtatanong, ano ang mekanismo natin para magpigilan na ganitong labor rights violation sa ating bansa?

1423
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:53,180
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Para pong ganun-ganun na lang, kadali para sa isang malaking kumpanya tulad ng DHL.

1424
02:05:53,380 --> 02:05:54,080
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Natapakan ang karapatanan.

1425
02:05:54,540 --> 02:05:57,460
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: But let me move on to another issue.

1426
02:05:58,160 --> 02:06:00,260
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Puta naman po tayo sa issue ng NEA.

1427
02:06:00,740 --> 02:06:06,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: We appreciate DOLE for establishing the Electric Cooperative Industry Tripartite Council.

1428
02:06:06,800 --> 02:06:08,960
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Dahil matagal na itong demand ng labor movement.

1429
02:06:09,420 --> 02:06:19,680
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ngunit concerned pa rin po tayo, dahil hanggang sa ngayon, NEA merely suspended rather than rescinded the policies that allow it to interfere in collective bargaining.

1430
02:06:20,280 --> 02:06:23,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Can we get the commitment of the good secretary to issue a joint issuance?

1431
02:06:23,540 --> 02:06:32,180
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Upholding workers' rights to organize, bargain collectively, and strike even before the ECITC is fully operational?

1432
02:06:36,760 --> 02:06:39,800
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: May kinakausap kasi.

1433
02:06:39,800 --> 02:06:41,260
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ako ni Congressman Vergara,

1434
02:06:41,320 --> 02:06:42,560
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: But I can respond. I can respond.

1435
02:06:42,660 --> 02:06:43,240
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Okay, go ahead.

1436
02:06:43,600 --> 02:06:52,660
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Alam niyo po, Your Honor, for the first time, we sought the complete attendance of National Electrification Administration,

1437
02:06:52,860 --> 02:06:57,600
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na si Administrator Nani Almeda, not just because of this pending concern,

1438
02:06:58,020 --> 02:07:02,120
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: but because we are aware that we were flagged by the International Labor Organization likewise.

1439
02:07:02,120 --> 02:07:14,520
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: The administration of NEA is now actively pursuing a tripartite system likewise within the sector.

1440
02:07:14,680 --> 02:07:18,220
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We understood, we took note of their concerns.

1441
02:07:18,360 --> 02:07:26,020
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang sinasabi po nila, meron daw po mga ilang electric cooperatives na talagang malaki ang kinikita.

1442
02:07:26,020 --> 02:07:27,020
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Meron naman na...

1443
02:07:28,020 --> 02:07:28,600
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Maliliit.

1444
02:07:28,780 --> 02:07:38,280
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Meron namang electric cooperatives na yung management took advantage pretending themselves to be part of the employees group

1445
02:07:38,280 --> 02:07:41,120
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na nakikinabang din pag merong dinidistribute.

1446
02:07:41,240 --> 02:07:47,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, meron po nga yung ongoing technical working group between DOLE and NEA para maresolba po ito.

1447
02:07:47,820 --> 02:07:56,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Meron lang kaunting usapin na ayaw ibigay ng NEA yung kanilang quote-unquote regulatory...

1448
02:07:58,020 --> 02:08:05,560
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: powers kung functions na madidilute kung sakaling pumasok sila sa ganitong kasunduan.

1449
02:08:05,780 --> 02:08:11,420
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, yung ganun pong aspeto ay ang aming pinag-uusapan ngayon.

1450
02:08:11,460 --> 02:08:17,100
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: It will take some time, but I think we're on the right path na mariresolba po ito.

1451
02:08:17,180 --> 02:08:22,180
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: May commitment po si NEA Administrator Almeda patungkol po dito.

1452
02:08:22,900 --> 02:08:26,400
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary, gusto ko lang pong balaan kayo.

1453
02:08:26,500 --> 02:08:27,180
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ito pong si Director

1454
02:08:28,020 --> 02:08:30,700
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Almeda, isang taon pa pong nangako sa amin dito sa Kongreso.

1455
02:08:31,140 --> 02:08:35,580
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Pero hanggang ngayon po, hindi pa rin sinususpindi itong policy that allows the NEA to interfere

1456
02:08:35,580 --> 02:08:38,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: in the CBA of our workers' unions in this cooperative.

1457
02:08:39,000 --> 02:08:42,300
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: So, ang pakiusap po namin, while waiting for the tripartite policy,

1458
02:08:42,300 --> 02:08:45,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: baka pwede po magbigay ng issuean sa DOLE para sa ganun po.

1459
02:08:45,600 --> 02:08:51,680
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Pigilan po ito pong hindi po legal na prosesong ito ng pagharang sa CBA ng ating mga frontliners

1460
02:08:51,680 --> 02:08:53,900
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: pwede ting sa electric co-op industry.

1461
02:08:54,260 --> 02:08:57,300
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to proceed to...

1462
02:08:58,020 --> 02:09:02,300
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: September 29 po yung susunod na pagpupulong namin ng NEA.

1463
02:09:02,740 --> 02:09:06,620
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: September 29, sana po, even before that, baka pwede na po may issueans

1464
02:09:06,620 --> 02:09:11,900
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: to the effect na sinuspinde po natin at nirescind yung current policy.

1465
02:09:11,900 --> 02:09:17,700
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kasi po, kung mag-on-going pa po yung ating negotiations and dialogues,

1466
02:09:17,800 --> 02:09:21,760
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: it will take time bago po fully ma-rescind itong polisiyang ito.

1467
02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:26,660
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Sana po, for the here and now, baka po pwedeng mahilingan ng isang issuance ang DOLE,

1468
02:09:26,660 --> 02:09:32,700
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: to allow our unions to proceed with their CBA without the interference of the NEA administration.

1469
02:09:33,140 --> 02:09:34,800
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pwede po akong makiusap, Your Honor.

1470
02:09:35,620 --> 02:09:39,620
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pwede po kaya sa September 29 ay magpadala kayo ng isang kinatawan

1471
02:09:39,620 --> 02:09:44,860
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: para makaharap din at maging bahagi ng usapin between DOLE and NEA?

1472
02:09:45,540 --> 02:09:51,180
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ang Power Centro po ay ipapadala natin sa natural dialogue na yan

1473
02:09:51,180 --> 02:09:55,720
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: para po talaga marinig po ninyo ng diretsyo yung concerns sa ating workers in the power industry.

1474
02:09:55,860 --> 02:09:56,300
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Salamat po.

1475
02:09:56,300 --> 02:10:02,240
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Let me go to our colleague from the TESDA, Secretary Benitez.

1476
02:10:02,520 --> 02:10:05,520
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Sinabi po ng DTI noong nakaraang budget hearing po nila

1477
02:10:05,520 --> 02:10:10,880
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: that they are shifting their industrial policy from automotive towards electric vehicles.

1478
02:10:11,080 --> 02:10:14,340
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ang tanong po ng Philippine Metal Workers Alliance ay

1479
02:10:14,340 --> 02:10:18,820
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: may we ask if TESDA has ongoing plans to design TVET programs

1480
02:10:18,820 --> 02:10:21,400
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: catered towards the electric vehicle industry?

1481
02:10:21,900 --> 02:10:25,900
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: We, Mr. Chair, we already have competency

1482
02:10:26,300 --> 02:10:31,380
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: standards and training regulations for EV, for electric vehicles po.

1483
02:10:31,540 --> 02:10:36,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Ongoing po ang rollout ng training for EV in the energy sector.

1484
02:10:36,820 --> 02:10:43,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: I can submit to your officer the list of all the electric vehicle trainings

1485
02:10:43,820 --> 02:10:51,000
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: that actually TESDA already has, including for two-wheel, three-wheel,

1486
02:10:51,260 --> 02:10:53,960
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: hanggang four-wheel po at trucks and buses.

1487
02:10:54,260 --> 02:10:56,280
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Meron pong training regulations ang TESDA.

1488
02:10:56,300 --> 02:10:59,640
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Some of these were developed in partnerships po

1489
02:10:59,640 --> 02:11:05,240
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: with foreign companies, particularly from China

1490
02:11:05,240 --> 02:11:08,200
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: that is in advance in terms of having training modules.

1491
02:11:08,720 --> 02:11:12,220
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So meron po to answer very succinctly.

1492
02:11:12,300 --> 02:11:14,860
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: At ibigay nyo na rin po sa amin kung saan pong areas

1493
02:11:14,860 --> 02:11:17,920
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: pwede maka-avail ng scholarship ang ating mga kababayan

1494
02:11:17,920 --> 02:11:19,840
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: para po makapasok sa industriyang ito.

1495
02:11:19,860 --> 02:11:20,240
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Yes po.

1496
02:11:20,820 --> 02:11:22,400
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Secretary.

1497
02:11:22,820 --> 02:11:24,380
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Let me move on to my last point.

1498
02:11:24,380 --> 02:11:26,280
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Sana po umabot 15 seconds.

1499
02:11:26,300 --> 02:11:29,020
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: May ipinabot pong concern ang mga kasama natin

1500
02:11:29,020 --> 02:11:32,320
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: mula sa National Union of Building and Construction Workers

1501
02:11:32,320 --> 02:11:33,780
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: at nagkaisa Labor Coalition.

1502
02:11:34,200 --> 02:11:37,460
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Nabinbin daw po ang Construction Workers Training Program

1503
02:11:37,460 --> 02:11:40,220
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: nitong June 2026.

1504
02:11:40,640 --> 02:11:45,260
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: The interruption of the 2026 cycle could deprive up to 300 workers

1505
02:11:45,260 --> 02:11:47,920
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: of critical training opportunities.

1506
02:11:48,840 --> 02:11:51,640
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ang mabilis pong tanong, bakit hindi natuloy ang training na ito

1507
02:11:51,640 --> 02:11:56,080
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: and is DOLE considering the resumption of this very critical training program anytime soon?

1508
02:11:56,080 --> 02:11:58,660
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: That would be my last question, Mr. Chair.

1509
02:12:02,750 --> 02:12:04,350
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Sorry, Mr. Chair.

1510
02:12:04,470 --> 02:12:05,510
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Sa amin pala yung tanong.

1511
02:12:06,290 --> 02:12:12,090
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Sir, this is actually part of an agreement with the DPWH in Daga

1512
02:12:12,090 --> 02:12:15,230
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and the funds are still with DPWH po.

1513
02:12:15,750 --> 02:12:19,470
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So we have not been able to receive the funds in order to conduct the training

1514
02:12:19,470 --> 02:12:24,130
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: for the displaced construction workers from DPWH projects.

1515
02:12:24,770 --> 02:12:26,630
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: So when do we plan to resum this program?

1516
02:12:26,630 --> 02:12:29,390
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: We are waiting, sir, for the transfer of funds.

1517
02:12:29,410 --> 02:12:31,510
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: We are waiting for the transfer of funds from the DPWH for this purpose.

1518
02:12:31,970 --> 02:12:33,830
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: So we'll keep on following up, Mr. Secretary.

1519
02:12:34,030 --> 02:12:34,430
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Thank you very much.

1520
02:12:34,430 --> 02:12:35,230
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

1521
02:12:35,690 --> 02:12:36,850
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

1522
02:12:38,130 --> 02:12:40,550
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Thank you very much, Rep. Percy.

1523
02:12:41,150 --> 02:12:45,350
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Next, from the majority, Deputy Speaker Raymond Mendoza.

1524
02:12:45,850 --> 02:12:46,550
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Now your floor, sir.

1525
02:12:46,830 --> 02:12:47,870
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

1526
02:12:48,610 --> 02:12:51,710

1530
02:12:59,410 --> 02:13:09,630
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Mr. Secretary, first I would like to thank you. Galing po ako sa TUCP, a 50-year-old organization,

1531
02:13:09,630 --> 02:13:14,430
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: through the help of the DFA and, of course, Point of Affairs.

1532
02:13:14,530 --> 02:13:17,550

1534
02:13:21,790 --> 02:13:25,210
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: wherein I am a General Secretary, we sent a delegate.

1535
02:13:25,570 --> 02:13:29,390
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: And we'd like to thank the efforts of Ame Tor,

02:13:36,970 --> 02:13:37,510
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Papasalamat, no?

1542
02:13:37,570 --> 02:13:38,790

1544

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Thank you very much.

1545
02:13:41,970 --> 02:13:43,810
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: And we were able to be recognized.

1546
02:13:44,110 --> 02:13:46,350
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: It's very historic for the ASEAN labor movement.

1547
02:13:47,030 --> 02:13:49,830
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: And, of course, of the International Trade Union Congress,

1548
02:13:50,090 --> 02:13:51,690
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: which is based also in Bangkok.

1549
02:13:52,430 --> 02:13:56,870
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Second, well, we have, of course, to R.D.

1550
02:13:56,870 --> 02:13:58,730
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: For R.D.

1551
02:13:59,410 --> 02:14:03,350
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: And, uh, ano yung saan ba si R.D.?

1552
02:14:03,350 --> 02:14:05,130
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Hindi si Buenafe?

1553
02:14:05,810 --> 02:14:06,450
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Thank you.

1554
02:14:07,110 --> 02:14:09,950
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Of course, in relation to the wage order,

1555
02:14:10,130 --> 02:14:11,750
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Mr. Secretary, mamaya lang yan.

02:16:53,040 --> 02:16:55,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: NCMB, nasa dulo lang po.

1628
02:16:56,240 --> 02:16:57,640
NCMB OIC-Executive Director IV Teresita E. Audea: Magandang hapon.

1629
02:16:57,660 --> 02:17:09,280
NCMB OIC-Executive Director IV Teresita E. Audea: At with the permission of the Secretary, yung pong pondo ng voluntary arbitrators ay nakasama po at nakapaloob sa MOOE ng NCMB.

1630
02:17:09,960 --> 02:17:21,980
NCMB OIC-Executive Director IV Teresita E. Audea: So yung pong sinasabi ni Honorable Speaker, Deputy Speaker Mendoza, ay isang malaking bagay kung madadagdagan po yung pondo na yun.

1631
02:17:21,980 --> 02:17:32,020
NCMB OIC-Executive Director IV Teresita E. Audea: Ang training component po ng aming budget ay kinukuha para sa mga arbitrators po ay kinukuha sa CBA collection.

1632
02:17:32,400 --> 02:17:41,140
NCMB OIC-Executive Director IV Teresita E. Audea: So doon po namin isinosource. Yun lamang po yung nakahiwalay. Siguro nga po maganda pagkadadagdagan yung aming budget para doon.

1633
02:17:43,080 --> 02:17:43,700
NCMB OIC-Executive Director IV Teresita E. Audea: Salamat po.

1634
02:17:44,160 --> 02:17:50,480
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Dagdagan mo lang yung education na P355 per thousand per month.

1635
02:17:50,480 --> 02:17:51,100
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Siguro naman.

1636
02:17:51,500 --> 02:17:51,960
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: And of course,

1637
02:17:51,980 --> 02:17:55,620
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: thank you also for the, yung you already mentioned.

1638
02:17:56,360 --> 02:18:03,800
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Yung sunod naman, Mr. Secretary, amid all our debates regarding wage order number 27, let us be reminded, maraming gutom.

1639
02:18:04,060 --> 02:18:10,880
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: And of course, yung minimum wage, nandito naman si Executive Director MWPC. Maraming gutom.

1640
02:18:11,200 --> 02:18:19,780
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: And survival wages talaga. And already, I will not, you know, in support of kamanggagawa party list kong ELI.

1641
02:18:20,680 --> 02:18:21,960
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Ito lang, Mr. Secretary.

1642
02:18:21,980 --> 02:18:35,500
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: So, there is a, you know, you cited a Supreme Court that is already a, there is already a writ issue there.

1643
02:18:35,920 --> 02:18:36,980
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: But in this case,

1644
02:18:39,080 --> 02:18:42,600
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: so now we can talk to Joyce Manungsong, yung sa RTC.

1645
02:18:44,520 --> 02:18:51,760
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: We could have, you know, if all of this, may appeal from TUCP is that hanapin nating solusyon.

1646
02:18:52,220 --> 02:18:54,160
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: And solusyon should be fast.

1647
02:18:54,160 --> 02:18:54,640
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Kasi,

1648
02:18:54,640 --> 02:18:55,580
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: kasi,

1649
02:18:55,860 --> 02:18:58,720
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: there is a OSG,

1650
02:18:59,820 --> 02:19:01,300
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: and you filed this, right?

1651
02:19:01,840 --> 02:19:02,380
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Mag-MR ka.

1652
02:19:02,820 --> 02:19:04,600
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: And if I read it na lang, para matapos tayo.

1653
02:19:04,680 --> 02:19:09,160
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: The assailed order should not restrain respondents in implementing the wage order

1654
02:19:09,160 --> 02:19:13,080
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: in absence of valid and duly issued writ of preliminary injunction.

1655
02:19:13,640 --> 02:19:20,200
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Sabi lang dito, it bears stressing that the assailed order merely granted the application of a WPI.

1656
02:19:20,200 --> 02:19:24,140
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: However, it did not bring the writ into existence.

1657
02:19:24,640 --> 02:19:25,500
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Rule 58 po.

1658
02:19:26,160 --> 02:19:27,840
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Section 4B,

1659
02:19:28,220 --> 02:19:34,740
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Rules of Court provides the issuance of writ is expressly relies on the fulfillment of certain conditions.

1660
02:19:34,920 --> 02:19:36,040
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: So, conditions in ikwanon.

1661
02:19:36,460 --> 02:19:39,500
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: There is a, if I may mistake, a suspensive condition.

1662
02:19:40,220 --> 02:19:43,740
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Do not like to stand on, importante na magbayad siya ng bond.

1663
02:19:44,240 --> 02:19:48,140
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: So, there is certain condition which is the bond in this particular, in this moment.

1664
02:19:48,140 --> 02:19:54,520
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: This means that the order granting the P.I. or preliminary injunction,

1665
02:19:54,640 --> 02:19:58,360
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: does not, standing alone, operate as a writ itself.

1666
02:19:58,800 --> 02:20:03,440
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: The injunctive relief becomes legally operational only upon the fulfillment of the condition,

1667
02:20:04,020 --> 02:20:06,840
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: followed by the formal issuance of the corresponding writ.

1668
02:20:07,340 --> 02:20:10,160
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Until these mandatory steps are fully satisfied,

1669
02:20:10,560 --> 02:20:14,000
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: the assailed order produces no binding injunctive effect.

1670
02:20:14,320 --> 02:20:17,480
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Pagtatalo tayo dito, Mr. Secretary, your thoughts because I'm losing time.

1671
02:20:17,960 --> 02:20:20,720
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Kasi talaga, there's no writ to talk about.

1672
02:20:21,400 --> 02:20:21,960
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Mr. Secretary.

1673
02:20:22,760 --> 02:20:24,460
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Mga po kayo, yung pong...

1674
02:20:24,460 --> 02:20:26,260
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Mr. Secretary, this is OSG.

1675
02:20:26,540 --> 02:20:28,120
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: This is the opinion of the OSG.

1676
02:20:29,720 --> 02:20:37,260
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Idadagdag ko po, yun pong nakalagay sa pleading ng OSG,

1677
02:20:38,040 --> 02:20:41,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ay meron din pong nanggaling sa DOLE.

1678
02:20:42,520 --> 02:20:46,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yun po ay bago din raft, in raft, finalized, bago finile,

1679
02:20:47,480 --> 02:20:52,840
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ay nag-uusap po ang DOLE at kung ano yung mga dapat tamang ilaman dyan.

1680
02:20:52,840 --> 02:20:56,340
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kaya maulanggalang na sa Office of the Solicitor General,

1681
02:20:56,900 --> 02:21:01,840
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: yung pong sila po yung nag-finalize niya pero malaki rin po ang inputs ng DOLE.

1682
02:21:02,360 --> 02:21:07,180
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So lahat po nang sinabi dyan ay sumang-ayon kami at sumang-ayon sila.

1683
02:21:08,020 --> 02:21:13,720
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yan po ay joint, collaborative endeavor between our legal,

1684
02:21:13,840 --> 02:21:20,180
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: nandun pa po si Yusek Mosquera noon, na ngayon ay lumipat na sa kataas-taasang hukuman.

1685
02:21:20,180 --> 02:21:22,180
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So yan po ay aming final...

1686
02:21:22,180 --> 02:21:22,560
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Two.

1687
02:21:22,840 --> 02:21:30,220
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Precisely pressure, compel, hindi ko po kilala yung nabanggit niyong kilala ko lang sa pangalan,

1688
02:21:30,700 --> 02:21:39,000
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: yung judge, to pressure the judge to come up, come out with that appropriate resolution,

1689
02:21:39,480 --> 02:21:50,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: dissolving any existing injunction, and proceed with the eventual implementation of Wage Order No. 27.

1690
02:21:51,720 --> 02:21:51,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Mindful.

1691
02:21:51,920 --> 02:21:53,020
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Mindful, Your Honor.

1692
02:21:53,660 --> 02:21:59,740
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Mindful, Your Honor, of another case which we never cited in that motion,

1693
02:22:00,000 --> 02:22:05,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: which is entitled Active Wood Products versus Intermediate Appellate Court.

1694
02:22:05,440 --> 02:22:15,400
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: This was issued in 1990, so this is a long-standing jurisprudence, Your Honor,

1695
02:22:16,380 --> 02:22:21,560
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: wherein the Supreme Court rejected the argument,

1696
02:22:21,920 --> 02:22:28,400
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: that the injunction or any order could simply be disregarded because the bond has not yet been filed.

1697
02:22:29,120 --> 02:22:36,520
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: It held that the order plainly intended the acts sought to be stopped must be stopped by the court.

1698

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: yung ating mga wage boards at gumagalaw naman po sila patungkol po dito.

1752
02:26:33,500 --> 02:26:38,920

1753
02:26:39,080 --> 02:26:46,960
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: but the court should realize na bali talaga yun, na hindi dapat nila pigilin sa, yung, yung saklawan.

1754
02:26:47,460 --> 02:26:52,620
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ah, isang beses lang po nangyari yan sa, sa bayan po ng ating kaibigan din,

02:30:20,800 --> 02:30:23,300

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Tama po siguro yun?

1812
02:30:28,880 --> 02:30:29,640
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: 60 pesos.

1813
02:30:29,640 --> 02:30:34,780
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, yung ibibigay, kung sakaling approved na yung kanila, ay 60 pesos.

1814
02:30:35,740 --> 02:30:38,720
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, yung for this year, tama po yun, di ba?

1815
02:30:39,040 --> 02:30:43,240
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, for this year, hindi naman po ibibigay for this year ang 85 pesos.

1816
02:30:43,820 --> 02:30:45,880
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We're talking of 60.

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: 60.

1818
02:30:47,420 --> 02:30:49,780

1819
02:30:50,720 --> 02:30:54,780
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, ang siguro nababalot sa kaisipan ay nasaan yung 25.

1820
02:30:54,780 --> 02:30:59,160
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: The 25 is for next year.

1821
02:30:59,640 --> 02:31:11,500
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, ang tinatanong ko rin, sa kaisipan ko, pag inulit ba, yung nilalaman ng wage order 27, na nandun yung 60 at nandun yung 25,

1822
02:31:11,920 --> 02:31:18,000
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ay inulit lang yung wage order 27 na na-injection, which is a mockery of everything.

1823
02:31:18,160 --> 02:31:19,040
Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Kailan effective yan?

1824

1828
02:31:25,940 --> 02:31:27,460

3029

3031
03:14:24,370 --> 03:14:27,370
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: kung ano ba yung implication nito

3032
03:14:27,370 --> 03:14:29,130
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: sa hindi pa napapatupad na

3033
03:14:29,130 --> 03:14:30,950
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: wage order 27?

3034
03:14:36,990 --> 03:14:37,970
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Can I answer?

3035
03:14:38,230 --> 03:14:40,310
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Nandiyan ba si R.D.?

3036
03:14:40,310 --> 03:14:41,250
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sige, sige, sige.

3037
03:14:44,180 --> 03:14:45,840
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Mr. Chair, with the permission

3038
03:14:45,840 --> 03:14:47,080
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: of the Secretary,

3039
03:14:47,920 --> 03:14:49,640
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: just last night,

3040
03:14:50,220 --> 03:14:51,180
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: September 7,

3041
03:14:52,040 --> 03:14:53,100
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: 2026,

3042
03:14:53,880 --> 03:14:55,020
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: NCR Wage Board

3043
03:14:55,020 --> 03:14:57,720
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: decided and approved

3044
03:14:57,720 --> 03:14:59,140
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: wage order number 28.

3045
03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:10,260
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: With an increase of P60, making it the intended minimum wage for NCR is already P755.

3046
03:15:10,260 --> 03:15:26,740
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: A copy of this wage order, Mr. Chair, is already submitted and forwarded to the National Wages and Productivity Commission, NWPC, for another process of affirmation.

3047
03:15:26,740 --> 03:15:56,140
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: With the timeline, Mr. Chair, if the Commission will convene immediately, we are expecting that publication for this wage order number 28 will be on Friday at the earliest possible time and the effectivity would be on September 26 or 27, Mr. Chair.

3048
03:15:56,740 --> 03:16:12,740
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Natanong ko ito, Mr. Chair, dahil nais natin na maipahayag din ang ating paninindigan na mali ang naging injunction sa wage order 27 at kapag tinanggap ito ng DOLE at ngayon mayroon ng wage order 28, para na rin silang pumayag na legal ito.

3049
03:16:13,440 --> 03:16:22,700
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Bukod dyan, hindi pwedeng crunch 1 na ang wage order 28 na P60 ng wage order 27 dahil dapat magkahiwala ito.

3050
03:16:22,700 --> 03:16:26,700
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kapag na-lift ang TRO sa wage order 27, dapat magkahiwala.

3051
03:16:26,740 --> 03:16:35,740
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: P120 pesos na ang increase this 2026, kasama na ang P25 pesos pa na second tranche sa January 2027.

3052
03:16:36,780 --> 03:16:56,460
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nabanggit ko ito, Mr. Chair, dahil sinabi rin ng DepDev sa kapulungan na ito na ang poverty threshold ngayon sa labas ng NCR, mas mababaho yung kanilang tinatakda na value, nasa P488 pesos kada araw para sa pamilya ng lima sa labas ng NCR.

3053
03:16:56,740 --> 03:17:02,820
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nasa 12 regions ang may minimum wage na mas mababa na sa poverty threshold ng DepDev.

3054
03:17:02,820 --> 03:17:22,820
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ibig sabihin, hindi na sapat na iisa na lang na minimum wage earner na dapat mas marami pa o kaya naman nagkocontribute ito sa mas mataas na oras ng paggawa dahil nagahanap ng mas maraming racket, mas maraming pagkakakitaan para lang makahabol sa gastusin ng mga pamilya.

3055
03:17:22,820 --> 03:17:25,880
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya naninindigan tayo.

3056
03:17:26,740 --> 03:17:47,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sana maging challenge na rin sa kongreso na ito ang pag-uusap tungkol sa establishment ng national minimum wage, gayon din ang pag-uusap tungkol sa sahod na nakabubuhay para sa mga manggagawa, nakakasuporta para sa kanilang mga pamilya, habang tinitiyak din natin yung mga subsidies para sa mga baliliit na negosyo.

3057
03:17:47,360 --> 03:17:54,780
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayon naman, Mr. Chair, hayaan niyo ako magpunta sa implementation ng maternity and paternity leaves.

3058
03:17:55,160 --> 03:18:05,740
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kumusta ho ba ang implementasyon nito ng DOLE? Ah, kailan ho tayo nag-submit ng pinakahuli nating valuation report para matiyak na sumusunod ang lahat dito?

3059
03:18:05,740 --> 03:18:12,060
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Sir, may we allow Asec Reyes to give the details?

3060
03:18:12,620 --> 03:18:14,980
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Okay, Asec Reyes is recognized.

3061

3477
03:34:59,200 --> 03:35:06,900
Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria: there are now more than 15 000 workers employed in the ict bpo industry in negros oriental

3478
03:35:06,900 --> 03:35:16,660
Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria: according to the local ict bpo industry and the sector continues to expand the bpo industry has

3479
03:35:16,660 --> 03:35:21,040
Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria: been one of the major sources of employment not only for negros oriental

3480
03:35:21,060 --> 03:35:27,280
Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria: but for filipinos no particularly for young workers and those entering the workforce but

3484
03:35:46,940 --> 03:35:50,140

3485
03:35:51,060 --> 03:35:58,860
Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria: strategy for bpo and call center workers who may be displaced or whose jobs may be significantly

3486
03:35:58,860 --> 03:36:06,420
Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria: altered by ai i would also like to ask whether dolly is working with the bpo industry to require

3487
03:36:06,420 --> 03:36:14,520
Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria: or encourage companies adopting ai to provide meaningful reskilling and redeployment opportunities

3488
03:36:14,520 --> 03:36:20,900

3489
03:36:21,060 --> 03:36:24,720
Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria: we should prepare them to work alongside AI

3490
03:36:24,720 --> 03:36:29,780
Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria: and to move into the higher-valued jobs that AI itself is creating.

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

3602
03:41:54,200 --> 03:41:57,200

3675
04:33:11,760 --> 04:33:14,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: uh ito lang pinapakita lang nito yung

3676
04:33:16,800 --> 04:33:24,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: uh left bar nep and then right bar for each fiscal year i

3677
04:33:25,840 --> 04:33:29,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ga so ano lang pinapakita rito ibig sabihin

3678
04:33:31,280 --> 04:33:37,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: malaki yung tupad pero lalong pinalalaki pagka yung nep nagiging gaa ibig sabihin congress

3679
04:33:38,240 --> 04:33:46,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: you know uh every year nilalakihan niya yung tupad and marcado po again yung congressional

3680
04:33:46,560 --> 04:33:55,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: interventions para palaking ng tupad starting in well starting in the 2019 the the latter half of

3681
04:33:55,600 --> 04:34:00,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: duterte administration pero marcado talaga under the marcus jr administration

3682
04:34:00,400 --> 04:34:24,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay, so last tab, yung yan. Ilang mga punto? So nakita natin yung dole po, yung total dole budget lumaki ng 229% in 10 years. During that period, yung tupad budget lumaki by 588%.

3683
04:34:24,400 --> 04:34:34,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Samantalang, yung mga dole budget, yung dole, yung the rest of the dole budget, lumaki by 29%.

3684
04:34:35,000 --> 04:34:42,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Visually, kung titignan nyo, halos hindi lumalaki yung budget ng dole, the other, rest of dole.

3685
04:34:43,760 --> 04:34:51,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And so, to sum up, in 2016, 36% ng dole budget was tupad.

3686
04:34:51,820 --> 04:34:59,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Now, it's 75. At one point, it was more than 80% of the total budget.

3687
04:34:59,320 --> 04:35:03,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, in other words, ang punto po natin dito ay, ano na ba ang dole?

3688
04:35:04,480 --> 04:35:07,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Labor and Employment Agency or Ayuda Agency.

3689
04:35:08,460 --> 04:35:18,180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bakit po ganito na ang budget ng dole?

3690
04:35:18,180 --> 04:35:18,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

3691
04:35:18,400 --> 04:35:21,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: This question is as much posed to the agency.

3692
04:35:21,820 --> 04:35:28,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: As to Congress as a whole and the Marcos Jr. Administration.

3693
04:35:29,640 --> 04:35:29,720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

3694
04:35:30,900 --> 04:35:34,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bakit parang ang dole naging Ayuda Agency?

3695
04:35:34,340 --> 04:35:37,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Of course, nasabihin, temporary employment yan.

3696
04:35:37,700 --> 04:35:41,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero, alam nyo, sa publiko, ang tingin dyan Ayuda.

3697
04:35:43,340 --> 04:35:50,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tapos ngayon, ang concern po natin, nasabihin, eh, ka-Congress ang naglalagay nyan eh.

3698
04:35:50,560 --> 04:35:51,720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya lang,

3699
04:35:51,820 --> 04:35:53,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: bago akong magsimula,

3700
04:35:53,800 --> 04:35:56,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: tama-tama, si Yusec mismo nagsabi,

3701
04:35:56,640 --> 04:35:58,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: dagdagan daw

3702
04:35:58,480 --> 04:36:00,840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung tupad budget.

3703
04:36:00,840 --> 04:36:03,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung pinakamalaking hinihingi nyong increase

3704
04:36:03,160 --> 04:36:05,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay sa budget ng tupad.

3705
04:36:05,880 --> 04:36:09,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi ba medyo, has dole not lost its way?

3706
04:36:09,500 --> 04:36:12,540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Iyan na ba ang gawain ng dole ngayon?

3707
04:36:12,540 --> 04:36:18,610
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Isa na ring Ayuda Agency.

3708
04:36:18,610 --> 04:36:19,310
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Thank you, Your Honor.

3709
04:36:19,310 --> 04:36:24,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Perhaps I can put this in a proper perspective, although I'm just,

3710
04:36:24,670 --> 04:36:28,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ilang linggo na ba ako rito?

3711
04:36:28,670 --> 04:36:30,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kami tatlong buwan na.

3712
04:36:30,670 --> 04:36:38,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: The expansion of tupad, from my recollection, can be traced during the COVID-19 pandemic days.

3713
04:36:38,670 --> 04:36:48,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, it really expanded because of the need to provide assistance to displaced workers.

3714
04:36:48,670 --> 04:36:53,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And that's the appropriate term.

3715
04:36:53,670 --> 04:36:54,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Thank you.

3716
04:36:54,670 --> 04:36:58,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Utilized by Your Honor, quote-unquote, Ayuda,

3717
04:36:58,670 --> 04:37:03,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and even local government units were able to perform them,

3718
04:37:03,670 --> 04:37:06,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: this Ayuda function.

3719
04:37:06,670 --> 04:37:10,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: But, as it evolved, my recollection, likewise,

3720
04:37:10,670 --> 04:37:13,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: would show some positive lights

3721
04:37:13,670 --> 04:37:18,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: on the basis of the allocation

3722
04:37:18,670 --> 04:37:23,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and the disbursement and utilization,

3723
04:37:23,670 --> 04:37:28,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: when it comes to priority areas like fourth and sixth class municipalities.

3724
04:37:28,670 --> 04:37:35,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And I was surprised when I went to some localities I've never been before,

3725
04:37:35,670 --> 04:37:37,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Cebu, for instance,

3726
04:37:37,670 --> 04:37:43,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: that there are indeed projects helping the poor and the marginalized,

3727
04:37:43,670 --> 04:37:47,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: especially the de-left, if Your Honor is familiar with this.

3728
04:37:47,670 --> 04:37:51,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, it has evolved into

3729
04:37:51,670 --> 04:37:58,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: containing parameters that would involve poverty incidents,

3730
04:37:58,670 --> 04:38:02,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: which is likewise lodged in another department,

3731
04:38:02,670 --> 04:38:09,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: magnitude of poor families, disaster mitigation interventions.

3732
04:38:09,670 --> 04:38:12,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And just before Your Honor arrived,

3733
04:38:12,670 --> 04:38:19,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: the good Undersecretary mentioned a lot about the latest labor force survey.

3734
04:38:19,670 --> 04:38:20,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Tupad.

3735
04:38:20,670 --> 04:38:27,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Tupad, in a way, has been able to intervene,

3736
04:38:27,670 --> 04:38:30,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: although in a short term,

3737
04:38:30,670 --> 04:38:36,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: other facets of social inequalities existing,

3738
04:38:36,670 --> 04:38:39,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: including, if I can underscore,

3739
04:38:39,670 --> 04:38:46,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Wala na dito si Congresswoman, dito si Secretary,

3740
04:38:46,670 --> 04:38:48,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: si Congressman wala na. The

3741
04:38:48,670 --> 04:38:49,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: assistance

3742
04:38:49,670 --> 04:38:50,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: given to migratory

3743
04:38:50,670 --> 04:38:51,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sugarcane

3744
04:38:51,670 --> 04:38:59,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: workers, especially now that there is an epidemic called RSSI,

3745
04:38:59,670 --> 04:39:06,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and a lot of other interventions given by the Tupad program,

3746
04:39:06,670 --> 04:39:16,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: including assistance to youth trying to enter the labor force through the GIP

3747
04:39:16,670 --> 04:39:19,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: via Tupad, the government internship program.

3748
04:39:19,670 --> 04:39:21,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Sa tingin ko po, Your Honor,

3749
04:39:21,670 --> 04:39:29,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: yung katagang naging TUPAD-TUPAD na lang ang DOLE can be a misnomer

3750
04:39:29,670 --> 04:39:32,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: because we have indeed, through Tupad,

3751
04:39:32,670 --> 04:39:35,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: provided assistance to fisher folks,

3752
04:39:35,670 --> 04:39:38,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: through transport groups.

3753
04:39:38,670 --> 04:39:44,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ito po, nung after February 28, little would others know na

3754
04:39:44,670 --> 04:39:47,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: yung programa ng DOTr na pagbibigay ng tulong

3755
04:39:47,670 --> 04:39:50,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sa mga transport cooperatives,

3756
04:39:50,670 --> 04:39:51,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: lalong-lalo sa Metro Manila,

3757
04:39:51,670 --> 04:39:53,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: is via Tupad.

3758
04:39:53,670 --> 04:39:55,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yung natulungan na pong mga tricycle,

3759
04:39:55,670 --> 04:39:58,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: mga TODA, yung mga jeepney drivers, etcetera,

3760
04:39:58,670 --> 04:40:00,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ganoon din po sa pagbubukas ng eskwela,

3761
04:40:00,670 --> 04:40:04,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: kaya napadali po yung Brigada Eskwela through TUPAD,

3762
04:40:04,670 --> 04:40:05,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Your Honor.

3763
04:40:05,670 --> 04:40:08,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, it has evolved, Your Honor,

3764
04:40:08,670 --> 04:40:16,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: not just as a one-time short-term financial amelioration program,

3765
04:40:16,670 --> 04:40:22,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: but it has now evolved into a program

3766
04:40:22,670 --> 04:40:29,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: that would cater not just to the displaced workers,

3767
04:40:29,670 --> 04:40:35,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: but to a local community's actual needs.

3768
04:40:35,670 --> 04:40:41,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: For instance, we have a flooding situation in Pampanga.

3769
04:40:41,670 --> 04:40:43,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: A good congresswoman is here.

3770
04:40:43,670 --> 04:40:45,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Tupad intervention would,

3771
04:40:45,670 --> 04:40:48,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: would help,

3772
04:40:48,670 --> 04:40:53,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: help not just provide additional employment,

3773
04:40:53,670 --> 04:40:56,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: because the cleaners just came out.

3774
04:40:56,670 --> 04:40:57,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: No.

3775
04:40:57,670 --> 04:40:58,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: No.

3776
04:40:58,670 --> 04:41:02,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I respect the innovation

3777
04:41:02,670 --> 04:41:05,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: provided from some members of Congress,

3778
04:41:05,670 --> 04:41:07,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and I was surprised.

3779
04:41:07,670 --> 04:41:11,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: There are partners here in our committee

3780
04:41:11,670 --> 04:41:13,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and in the lower ranks

3781
04:41:13,670 --> 04:41:15,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: that would provide

3782
04:41:15,670 --> 04:41:18,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Tupad assistance to board passers,

3783
04:41:18,670 --> 04:41:20,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: let passers, teachers,

3784
04:41:20,670 --> 04:41:23,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to engage pupils,

3785
04:41:23,670 --> 04:41:25,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: grade ones to three,

3786
04:41:25,670 --> 04:41:28,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: for a mentorship tutorial program,

3787
04:41:28,670 --> 04:41:32,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to capacitate them for better reading skills,

3788
04:41:32,670 --> 04:41:33,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: writing,

3789
04:41:33,670 --> 04:41:36,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and I even suggested arithmetic.

3790
04:41:36,670 --> 04:41:39,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, it's not bad, because

3791
04:41:39,670 --> 04:41:43,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: the 1,000 students of Caloobo,

3792
04:41:43,670 --> 04:41:48,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: of your fellow minority,

3793
04:41:48,670 --> 04:41:51,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and I'm referring now to Congressman Erice,

3794
04:41:51,670 --> 04:41:54,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: he has 1,000 to 2,000 pupils

3795
04:41:54,670 --> 04:41:57,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: who cannot read adequately,

3796
04:41:57,670 --> 04:41:58,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: nor write.

3797
04:41:58,670 --> 04:42:00,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Now, they can read Tupad.

3798
04:42:00,670 --> 04:42:02,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Because they hired teachers,

3799
04:42:02,670 --> 04:42:06,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: they gather students on Saturday and Sunday

3800
04:42:06,670 --> 04:42:07,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to learn basic skills.

3801
04:42:07,670 --> 04:42:08,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: If I say,

3802
04:42:08,670 --> 04:42:09,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: if this is not taught,

3803
04:42:09,670 --> 04:42:11,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: maybe grade four will drop out.

3804
04:42:11,670 --> 04:42:12,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And we're,

3805
04:42:12,670 --> 04:42:14,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Your Honor,

3806
04:42:14,670 --> 04:42:16,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: we're still thinking

3807
04:42:16,670 --> 04:42:18,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: of other ideas

3808
04:42:18,670 --> 04:42:20,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: on how to upgrade this.

3809
04:42:20,670 --> 04:42:23,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: It's not just the cleanliness,

3810
04:42:23,670 --> 04:42:26,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: the tidiness.

3811
04:42:26,670 --> 04:42:29,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: The GIP is a perfect example.

3812
04:42:29,670 --> 04:42:30,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: The others who joined the GIP

3813
04:42:30,670 --> 04:42:32,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: were hired by the Bureau of Fire,

3814
04:42:32,670 --> 04:42:35,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: were hired by the police,

3815
04:42:35,670 --> 04:42:37,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: by the PNP.

3816
04:42:37,670 --> 04:42:39,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We're more than willing to provide you,

3817
04:42:39,670 --> 04:42:40,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Your Honor,

3818
04:42:40,670 --> 04:42:41,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: a portfolio.

3819
04:42:41,670 --> 04:42:44,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: A portfolio of Tupad programs.

3820
04:42:44,670 --> 04:42:45,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So,

3821
04:42:45,670 --> 04:42:47,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: maybe in other places,

3822
04:42:47,670 --> 04:42:51,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: that misnomer might have continued.

3823
04:42:51,670 --> 04:42:59,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: But we're trying to carve a better perspective

3824
04:42:59,670 --> 04:43:04,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: on how Tupad should be seen in the near future.

3825
04:43:04,670 --> 04:43:07,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Perhaps involving artificial intelligence,

3826
04:43:07,670 --> 04:43:10,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: assistance to shipbuilders.

3827
04:43:10,670 --> 04:43:15,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: There is a big shipbuilding industry in Zambales

3828
04:43:15,670 --> 04:43:16,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and a lot of other things,

3829
04:43:16,670 --> 04:43:17,670
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Your Honor.

3830
04:43:18,670 --> 04:43:19,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

3831
04:43:19,670 --> 04:43:20,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Alam ko po tapos na ang oras.

3832
04:43:20,670 --> 04:43:23,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So ira-wrap up ko lang po yung point, ano.

3833
04:43:23,670 --> 04:43:24,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Maraming salamat po.

3834
04:43:24,670 --> 04:43:28,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: We note the vigorous defense

3835
04:43:28,670 --> 04:43:32,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: of the Secretary of the TUPAD program.

3836
04:43:34,670 --> 04:43:37,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero ang objective ko po rito

3837
04:43:37,670 --> 04:43:39,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay i-raise talaga as a policy question

3838
04:43:39,670 --> 04:43:42,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 'yung pagpapatuloy.

3839
04:43:42,670 --> 04:43:44,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nabanggit na

3840
04:43:44,670 --> 04:43:46,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: lumaki ito sa panahon ng pandemya.

3841
04:43:46,670 --> 04:43:47,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: That is true.

3842
04:43:47,670 --> 04:43:49,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Lockdown talaga noon.

3843
04:43:49,670 --> 04:43:51,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero tapos na ang lockdown,

3844
04:43:51,670 --> 04:43:52,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: tapos na ang pandemya,

3845
04:43:52,670 --> 04:43:55,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay pambihira pa rin po ang patuloy na paglaki

3846
04:43:55,670 --> 04:43:59,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at gayon nga humihingi pa ng additional ang DOLE rito, no?

3847
04:43:59,670 --> 04:44:02,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ngayon, may sinasabi si Secretary,

3848
04:44:02,670 --> 04:44:05,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: may mga best practices

3849
04:44:05,670 --> 04:44:07,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na nagagamit 'yung TUPAD.

3850
04:44:07,670 --> 04:44:09,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero for the most part,

3851
04:44:09,670 --> 04:44:10,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: unfortunately,

3852
04:44:10,670 --> 04:44:12,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang naririnig natin at alam din ng publiko,

3853
04:44:12,670 --> 04:44:14,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 'yun pa rin talagang walis-walis ang TUPAD.

3854
04:44:14,670 --> 04:44:19,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So is this the most productive way

3855
04:44:19,670 --> 04:44:21,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: to use public funds?

3856
04:44:21,670 --> 04:44:22,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No.

3857
04:44:22,670 --> 04:44:23,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Samantala,

3858
04:44:23,670 --> 04:44:24,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nandiyan ang TESDA.

3859
04:44:24,670 --> 04:44:26,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nakikita natin si Sec Kiko.

3860
04:44:26,670 --> 04:44:29,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Eh ito kapos naman ng pondo

3861
04:44:29,670 --> 04:44:32,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: for the actual long-term skills development.

3862
04:44:32,670 --> 04:44:33,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 'Di ba?

3863
04:44:33,670 --> 04:44:35,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So 'yun po 'yun.

3864
04:44:35,670 --> 04:44:36,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang gusto nating i-raise dito,

3865
04:44:36,670 --> 04:44:39,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: and also

3866
04:44:39,670 --> 04:44:41,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the unspoken,

3867
04:44:41,670 --> 04:44:43,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: which I will mention,

3868
04:44:43,670 --> 04:44:46,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nakatali po sa patronage eh,

3869
04:44:46,670 --> 04:44:47,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa barangay.

3870
04:44:47,670 --> 04:44:49,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Alam naman natin 'yun.

3871
04:44:49,670 --> 04:44:50,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Iba 'yung TUPAD.

3872
04:44:50,670 --> 04:44:51,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

3873
04:44:51,670 --> 04:44:52,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So

3874
04:44:52,670 --> 04:44:53,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nire-raise po natin,

3875
04:44:53,670 --> 04:44:55,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: dapat ba patuloy pang lakihan

3876
04:44:55,670 --> 04:44:57,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng lakihan ng pondo sa TUPAD?

3877
04:44:57,670 --> 04:44:58,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Right?

3878
04:44:58,670 --> 04:44:59,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hanggang doon na lang po, Chair.

3879
04:45:00,000 --> 04:45:12,660
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Thank you, Representative Antonio Tino. We now move back to the majority, which is I'd like to call on Representative Tony Roman.

3880
04:45:12,660 --> 04:45:40,000
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Good afternoon, Secretary, and to Dole and Testa. When your NEP for 2027 fell compared to the 2026 GAA by about 8%, I would assume that prior to the issuance or release of the proposed NEP for 2027,

3881
04:45:40,000 --> 04:45:42,640
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: you have submitted programs.

3882
04:45:42,660 --> 04:46:04,200
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: You have submitted programs that have been removed because not all 100% are being given. What are the programs that you have submitted that because your NEP for 2027 fell by 8%, it was removed and you want to return it?

3883
04:46:04,200 --> 04:46:10,800
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I would defer to Undersecretary Warren Platt. It's in his details.

3884
04:46:12,660 --> 04:46:24,220
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: You're referring to programs not part of ILS, not part of NWPC. NLRC went down, PRC went up. Kayo na po mag-provide ng dito.

3885
04:46:24,220 --> 04:46:38,610
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Thank you, Secretary. With the permission of the Secretary, yung mga nakat po sa budget ng Dole ay ang mga sumusunod po.

3886
04:46:39,750 --> 04:46:46,030
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Sa case po ng Dole proper, yung pong Tupad program.

3887
04:46:46,470 --> 04:46:56,430
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Sa livelihood program. At saka po yung computerization program po namin kasi yung capital outlay po ay nag-scale back na po, MOE na lang po.

3888
04:46:56,830 --> 04:47:06,350
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: And then sa case ng ILS naman po increase, ang NCMB naman po ay decrease dahil sa non-approval ng proposed additional ICT requirements

3889
04:47:06,350 --> 04:47:16,450
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: which is under the maintenance and other operating expenses and capital outlay at hindi rin po kami nabigyan sa NCMB ng proposed funding for the acquisition of ICT.

3890
04:47:16,470 --> 04:47:30,750
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: For the NLRC po, yung net decrease naman ay due to the following retirement of five commissioners with cotermius employees, non-approval ng proposed additional ICT requirements,

3891
04:47:31,410 --> 04:47:37,110
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: non-approval din ng proposed replacement ng fully depreciated motor vehicles.

3892
04:47:37,110 --> 04:47:42,150
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Sa case ng NWPC, it's an increase. PRC is an increase.

3893
04:47:42,150 --> 04:47:55,390
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: TESDA is a decrease. In terms of MOE, it's a substantial reduction in the provisions of the implementation of the program such as the special training for employment program or STEP,

3894
04:47:55,810 --> 04:48:07,430
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: training for work scholarship program or TWSP, and lifelong employability and advancement program, micro-credentials for near-hires, in-service workers in the future workforce.

3895
04:48:07,430 --> 04:48:11,410
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: And also a reduction in their foreign-assisted project.

3896
04:48:12,150 --> 04:48:19,210
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Particularly the supporting innovation in the Philippine Technical and Vocational Education and Training System or SIPTIVETS.

3897
04:48:19,610 --> 04:48:24,390
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: And capital outlay, no provision for their ICT and vehicle as well.

3898
04:48:25,190 --> 04:48:26,010
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Thanks po.

3899
04:48:26,510 --> 04:48:32,950
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: So, in particular, yung computerization, paano ito nakakapekto sa trabaho ng DOLE?

3900
04:48:34,410 --> 04:48:39,630
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Yung sa computerization naman po, sa 2026 may budget naman po kami.

3901
04:48:41,010 --> 04:48:50,730
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Ang hindi na lang po na-provide for next year, yung mga capital outlay na pambili ng mga hardware like computers, kasi meron na po provided for 2026.

3902
04:48:50,730 --> 04:49:01,110
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: At may mga natira pa po na 2025 na continuing po na this year na dapat na rin po naming maubos, pambili rin po ng mga hardware components such as desktop, laptop, computers.

3903
04:49:01,570 --> 04:49:04,510
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: At ito po ay mga nakapila na po for the procurement process po.

3904
04:49:05,770 --> 04:49:09,130
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Mr. Secretary, kanina yung tinanong ni Kong Jolo.

3905
04:49:09,130 --> 04:49:18,630
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Yung programa na naisip ninyo, yung NALJ or National Academy of Labor Justice at saka yung Labor Attorney's Office.

3906
04:49:19,390 --> 04:49:27,750
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Ito ho ba kasama na mga programang isinumiti nyo pero hindi na pondohan?

3907
04:49:28,590 --> 04:49:29,750
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kasama po yan.

3908
04:49:29,750 --> 04:49:37,750
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: In fact, we wrote a separate letter to the Speaker of the House, the members of...

3909
04:49:39,130 --> 04:49:43,310
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And committees and pretty soon with the Senate President himself.

3910
04:49:43,310 --> 04:49:47,210
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, naniniwala po kami na kailangan ito. Ano lang naman po?

3911
04:49:48,630 --> 04:49:51,650
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: 50 million plus 75 million.

3912
04:49:52,190 --> 04:49:56,490
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: 125 million po to address the...

3913
04:49:56,490 --> 04:50:06,790
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: One, to address the needs of the workers in Labor Attorney's Office para may free legal assistance sila nationwide to hire 64 lawyers.

3914
04:50:06,790 --> 04:50:07,790
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And then yung pangalawa...

3915
04:50:09,130 --> 04:50:18,790
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Para magkaroon tayo ng isang academy na magte-training sa mga mediators, conciliators, labor arbiters, etc., etc.

3916
04:50:19,070 --> 04:50:20,610
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And continuing education na rin po.

3917
04:50:20,610 --> 04:50:29,010
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Ito yung gap na nakita nyo sa loob ng tatlong buwan magmula nung itinalaga kayo na sekretary ng DOLE.

3918
04:50:29,090 --> 04:50:30,790
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Ito yung gap na gusto nyong punan.

3919
04:50:31,770 --> 04:50:35,610
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Yung training sa mga quasi-judicial officers. Tama po ba?

3920
04:50:35,890 --> 04:50:37,030
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Opo, in the short term.

3921
04:50:37,270 --> 04:50:38,610
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At marami pa po rin tayong...

3922
04:50:39,130 --> 04:50:43,990
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kagaya po ang nasabi ko kanina, siguro ad hoc na lang po yun.

3923
04:50:45,250 --> 04:50:52,810
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Tatag po tayo ng isang Maritime Labor Affairs Office para naman po mag-comply sa International Labor Organization.

3924
04:50:54,270 --> 04:50:56,890
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At para matulungan din yung ating mga tripulante.

3925
04:50:57,670 --> 04:51:03,030
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi lang yung nasa laot kung hindi yung mga nagsisiman pa rito, etc., etc.

3926
04:51:03,610 --> 04:51:08,690
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Yung sa hinihingi nyo po na pondo para sa NALJ na lang para may click.

3927
04:51:09,130 --> 04:51:12,970
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Na 50 million. Ano po yung batayan o basis ng 50 million?

3928
04:51:12,970 --> 04:51:21,750
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Meron po kaming makapal na dokumento rito para dun sa 83 pages po ito.

3929
04:51:22,110 --> 04:51:35,770
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Para dun lang po to operationalize this proposal, it would require a retooling of the existing ILS.

3930
04:51:35,770 --> 04:51:37,090
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I have to be frank.

3931
04:51:37,650 --> 04:51:38,870
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Institute of Labor.

3932
04:51:38,870 --> 04:51:44,290
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: For studies, it would require the creation of a governing board.

3933
04:51:44,750 --> 04:51:53,450
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: It would require the creation of an office of a chancellor, a better library and research development program,

3934
04:51:54,170 --> 04:52:01,430
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: as well as pursue the two pillars I mentioned a while ago, labor justice, education, professional formation.

3935
04:52:01,650 --> 04:52:03,110
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: This is a continuing education.

3936
04:52:03,110 --> 04:52:08,470
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And then, pillar two is labor justice policy, research and knowledge development,

3937
04:52:08,870 --> 04:52:09,970
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: which is the focus of the ILS.

3938
04:52:09,970 --> 04:52:11,590
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Eventually, produce publications.

3939
04:52:12,050 --> 04:52:15,930
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kung makikita nyo po, your honor, napakagaling ng Bureau of Internal Revenue,

3940
04:52:16,610 --> 04:52:22,150
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: yung kanilang mga issuances, regulations, number, blah, ganun po.

3941
04:52:23,010 --> 04:52:27,290
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Sa amin po, medyo nalilito na rin ako na dun sa numbering pa lang.

3942
04:52:27,870 --> 04:52:30,110
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, we hope to codify all of this.

3943
04:52:30,110 --> 04:52:36,510
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: So, parang silang merong database sa mga precedents na pwedeng pagbatayan

3944
04:52:36,510 --> 04:52:41,250
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: para consistent po yung paglabas sa mga desisyon at saka mga rulings,

3945
04:52:41,330 --> 04:52:46,510
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: dahil meron silang parang, pwede silang sumangguni dun sa database na yun.

3946
04:52:46,830 --> 04:52:52,070
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Gusto rin namin po magkaroon ng ISCRA para sa NLRC.

3947
04:52:52,990 --> 04:52:56,250
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Gusto rin namin magkaroon ng ISCRA para sa mga labor arbiters.

3948
04:52:56,250 --> 04:53:05,450
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Ngayon po, sa proposed NEP for 2027, binanggit po ni Undersecretary kanina na tumaas po yung budget para sa ILS.

3949
04:53:06,010 --> 04:53:06,490
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Now, binanggit po yung budget para sa ILS.

3950
04:53:06,490 --> 04:53:11,950
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: So, binanggit po yung NALJ. Yan po ang papalit sa ILS.

3951
04:53:12,550 --> 04:53:17,390
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Yung karagdagang pondo na mapupunta sa, at yung pondong nilaan para sa ILS, I would assume,

3952
04:53:18,430 --> 04:53:21,910
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: the NALJ will take over. Tama po ba?

3953
04:53:22,310 --> 04:53:29,170
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Correct. But the present increase in the NEP of the ILS is just for the ILS per se.

3954
04:53:29,530 --> 04:53:29,810
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Okay.

3955
04:53:29,810 --> 04:53:35,810
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi pa po nakapatong dun yung NALJ because NALJ would require,

3956
04:53:35,810 --> 04:53:45,470
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: itong 50 million na ito, ma-itemize naman po ito, would require the additional facilities such as a digital library

3957
04:53:45,470 --> 04:54:00,150
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and perhaps a modest courtroom, parang moot court, na kung saan pwedeng mag-practice yung mga nag-a-apply na NLRC commissioner or labor arbiters.

3958
04:54:00,270 --> 04:54:03,210
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ganon din po yung mga estudyante nating fourth year sa law school.

3959
04:54:03,210 --> 04:54:05,750
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Yung detalye po na yan, yung hawak nyo,

3960
04:54:05,810 --> 04:54:07,010
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: na-submitin na po sa committee.

3961
04:54:09,010 --> 04:54:13,310
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Kasi yan po yung parang justification for the 50 million for the NALJ.

3962
04:54:13,330 --> 04:54:15,130
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yes, we can submit this, Your Honor, today.

3963
04:54:15,150 --> 04:54:15,750
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Kung maaari po.

3964
04:54:15,910 --> 04:54:22,770
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Opo. Although this is my copy, kung tatanggapin nyo po, may mga notes, notes lang ako. May mga sulat lang ako eh.

3965
04:54:23,050 --> 04:54:33,610
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: And then, pangalawa po, same request for the Labor Attorney's Office, 75 million, some justification for, the justification for that, the computation.

3966
04:54:33,610 --> 04:54:34,610
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ipipigay ko na po ngayon.

3967
04:54:34,610 --> 04:54:43,410
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Dahil doon po sa Labor Attorney's Office yung sinasabi nyo, kailangan ng 64 na labor arbiters, 32 legal officers.

3968
04:54:43,410 --> 04:54:47,410
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Pag nakikita po akong ganyang eksaktong detalye, ang tanong ko, bakit ganun na numero?

3969
04:54:47,410 --> 04:54:51,410
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: So, kung meron po kayong justification, kung maaari po isumiti sa committee.

3970
04:54:51,410 --> 04:55:01,410
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ito po yan, Your Honor. Ibibigay ko na po ngayon yung, meron naman kaming digital file nito, pero marami na po akong sulat-sulat dito.

3971
04:55:01,410 --> 04:55:09,410
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kung tatanggapin nyo po ito, eh, ibibigay ko po. Wala po ako ditong mga drawing-drawing, Your Honor. Malinis po ito.

3972
04:55:10,170 --> 04:55:19,670
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Ngayon, yung ano po, yung sa Labor Attorney's Office, ang pagkakalam ko po, yung Public Attorney's Office, yan na po yung mandato eh.

3973
04:55:20,110 --> 04:55:29,510
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Natulungan yung mga indigent litigants. Hindi po sapat yung trabaho na ginagawa ng pao na kinakailangan po ng Labor Attorney's Office?

3974
04:55:29,530 --> 04:55:31,250
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ah, nandun po sa...

3975
04:55:31,250 --> 04:55:34,330
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Naipasa ko na eh. Nangirapan na akong kabulin si...

3976
04:55:34,330 --> 04:55:35,690
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ibibigay na kay Chairman.

3977
04:55:36,150 --> 04:55:44,330
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Meron po kaming datos doon na yung workload ng PAO ay halos nakatutok sa mga criminal cases sa probinsya.

3978
04:55:44,590 --> 04:55:52,190
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: May mga civil cases din at kakaunti po ang nabibigyan ng konsiderasyon sa mga labor arbiters.

3979
04:55:52,690 --> 04:55:57,550
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Lalong-lalo na yung mga nakabase po sa Metro Manila at yung mga regional centers natin.

3980
04:55:57,550 --> 04:56:00,910
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, meron po ditong justification, yung percentage ng...

3981
04:56:00,910 --> 04:56:06,030
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: trabaho ng Public Attorney's Office patungkol po doon sa kanilang workload.

3982
04:56:06,570 --> 04:56:10,010
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Na ang bulk po ay yung talagang pampiskal.

3983
04:56:10,670 --> 04:56:13,150
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang workload po ay yung mga pang-RTC.

3984
04:56:13,670 --> 04:56:19,330
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, dito po sa arbitration, sa conciliation, ay halos wala po.

3985
04:56:19,810 --> 04:56:20,750
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Meron pa isa-isa.

3986
04:56:21,430 --> 04:56:27,870
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Lalong-lalo na po sa pangkaraniwang kasong dinudulog po sa amin.

3987
04:56:27,870 --> 04:56:29,870
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, yun po ay...

3988
04:56:29,870 --> 04:56:35,830
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yung po ang nagsulong para sa tanggapan na itulak itong mungkahing ito.

3989
04:56:35,930 --> 04:56:41,890
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At nandun po lahat ng data na hindi ko na po masight ngayon kasi napilitan akong iabot na kay Chairman.

3990
04:56:42,330 --> 04:56:43,310
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Nandun po sa kanya.

3991
04:56:43,550 --> 04:56:50,750
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Actually, Mr. Secretary, I was instructing the Secretariat na if amenable naman si Rep. Tony Roman

3992
04:56:50,750 --> 04:56:56,290
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: after the once-a-day copies have been furnished, we'll furnish a copy to Rep. Tony Roman.

3993
04:56:58,630 --> 04:56:59,210
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: And then...

3994
04:56:59,870 --> 04:57:10,350
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Kung dalawang programa na gusto nyo na karagdaga na pondo, yung NALJ at at yung Legal Labor Attorney's Office,

3995
04:57:10,530 --> 04:57:11,710
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: ito po ba magkaugnay?

3996
04:57:12,610 --> 04:57:17,870
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Kailangan package deal na magkasama o may ding paghiwalay yan?

3997
04:57:18,430 --> 04:57:20,210
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Magkahiwalay po yan, but they work together.

3998
04:57:20,390 --> 04:57:21,370
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Very complimentary po.

3999
04:57:21,430 --> 04:57:23,490
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Opo, complimentary sila.

4000
04:57:23,490 --> 04:57:28,430
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And it's very timely, Your Honor, kasi po ngayon darating na 2027,

4001
04:57:28,430 --> 04:57:37,910
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ang Pilipinas po ang mamumuno ng International Labor Council sa ILO sa Geneva.

4002
04:57:38,890 --> 04:57:48,430
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, nais po nating ipakita sa ibang bansa na meron tayong ganitong mga tanggapan

4003
04:57:48,430 --> 04:57:52,890
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na talagang tumutugon sa pangangailangan ng ating manggagawa,

4004
04:57:53,030 --> 04:57:56,770
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: including that National Academy for Labor Justice, which is a first.

4005
04:57:57,310 --> 04:57:57,770
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Marami po tayong mga...

4006
04:57:58,430 --> 04:58:04,350
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Mga kabataang Pilipino na nag-aaral ng abugasya, first year, second year,

4007
04:58:04,810 --> 04:58:07,050
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: hindi pa nila alam pag sila ay...

4008
04:58:07,050 --> 04:58:10,630
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kasi pagkakaiba po sa medical school, first year, second year,

4009
04:58:10,730 --> 04:58:16,050
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: alam mo na kung ikaw ay magiging surgeon kung gusto mong mag-specialize.

4010
04:58:16,050 --> 04:58:24,690
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, ito po ay magbubukas ng pinto para sa mga law students na ay maganda pala ang labor justice.

4011
04:58:25,350 --> 04:58:27,330
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Dito tayo mag-specialize.

4012
04:58:28,430 --> 04:58:34,130
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: O gaya ngayon, pag-graduate mo ng law school, parang general practitioner ka na sa medisina, ganun din.

4013
04:58:34,710 --> 04:58:40,930
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, natatangi po ito, hindi sa pagbubuhat ng sariling bangko, kasi itong dalawang ito, first time.

4014
04:58:42,070 --> 04:58:43,570
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Maraming salamat.

4015
04:58:43,570 --> 04:58:45,550
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Now to Secretary Benitez.

4016
04:58:46,230 --> 04:58:49,890
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: May napapansin ko, madalang po ipa nagtatanong sa kanya.

4017
04:58:50,650 --> 04:58:52,090
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Kaya magtatanong ako sa kanya.

4018
04:58:52,910 --> 04:58:53,470
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Same question.

4019
04:58:53,470 --> 04:58:53,710
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Sige, sir.

4020
04:58:54,330 --> 04:58:58,090
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Yung nakita niyo po yung Neptune for 2027, meron mo bang aspeto doon?

4021
04:58:58,430 --> 04:59:01,110
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Na napailing kayo at halos maluha.

4022
04:59:02,470 --> 04:59:03,530
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Marami rin po.

4023
04:59:03,990 --> 04:59:04,850
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Ano po yung mga yun?

4024
04:59:05,430 --> 04:59:07,030
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Siguro, unahin ko na lang.

4025
04:59:07,250 --> 04:59:19,710
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: We made a request for more positions, particularly in the field, to help us roll out and implement our programs with greater efficiency.

4026
04:59:20,450 --> 04:59:24,710
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: We also made a greater request, sir, for capital outlay.

4027
04:59:24,710 --> 04:59:26,750
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Wala pong capital outlay.

4028
04:59:26,750 --> 04:59:34,370
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Pero yung talagang naluluha ako, siguro, ay ang pagliit po ng aming scholarship budget.

4029
04:59:35,990 --> 04:59:49,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Which is also how I ended my presentation earlier, with a request that at the very least, in order to ensure that the expansion of the education reform and its implementation in accordance with the NAD plan,

4030
04:59:49,610 --> 04:59:56,650
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: at the very least sana, maging equal sa GAA ng 2026, ang budget po ng test.

4031
04:59:56,750 --> 04:59:57,890
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Sa 2027.

4032
04:59:58,590 --> 04:59:59,990
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: If you can...

4033
05:00:00,000 --> 05:00:08,260
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Notice, ang pinakamalaki pong hiningi namin sa aming, hindi ho kasi wish list yun eh, kagaya ng sinabi ni Kong Jolo kanina,

4034
05:00:08,780 --> 05:00:15,120
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: eh yung wish list ho namin eh, an additional 20 billion na marahil naman eh hindi mabibigay, no.

4035
05:00:15,200 --> 05:00:17,160
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Nasabi na ho sa amin ni Kong Jila yan.

4036
05:00:18,500 --> 05:00:24,420
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: But the biggest portion, sir, is actually in the universal access to quality tertiary education.

4037
05:00:24,420 --> 05:00:29,420
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: We are requesting an additional 2.4 billion for our diploma programs nationwide,

4038
05:00:30,260 --> 05:00:35,420
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: so that as we expand towards higher level training with greater skill and greater productivity,

4039
05:00:36,680 --> 05:00:43,760
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: ay masuportahan din po namin ng budget namin ang kapipirima lang po na amendment to the UACTA law last week.

4040
05:00:44,360 --> 05:00:50,840
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So the request is really to make sure that at the very least,

4041
05:00:50,840 --> 05:00:53,840
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: our budget for 2027 is more or less equivalent,

4042
05:00:54,420 --> 05:00:59,280
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to our 2026, in particular with regards to our scholarship slots,

4043
05:00:59,720 --> 05:01:10,340
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: para ho dumami, imbis na kumonte, ang matulungan ng TESDA in terms of its programs, no, for learning and training.

4044
05:01:10,980 --> 05:01:18,160
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Pero kung mabigyan niyo po kami ng capital outlay, marami po kami pangangailangan na nakalagay na po dyan.

4045
05:01:18,160 --> 05:01:23,220
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: I would also like to flag to the committee as a former congressman na lang.

4046
05:01:23,860 --> 05:01:24,100
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Sorry.

4047
05:01:24,420 --> 05:01:32,440
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Said, marami pong mga past legislation or legislation that has been passed into law

4048
05:01:32,440 --> 05:01:41,480
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to create local government training centers under TESDA which has not been funded by the DBM consistently.

4049
05:01:42,340 --> 05:01:51,920
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So yun lang naman po ang aming mga totohanang wish list na for sure hindi po mabibigay kasi madami pagkahanapan.

4050
05:01:52,100 --> 05:01:53,480
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: But at the very least, sir, an additional...

4051
05:01:54,420 --> 05:02:04,780
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: An additional 5.3 or 5.4 billion po to make sure that our scholarship budget at least is equivalent to this year.

4052
05:02:04,940 --> 05:02:16,860
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Para hindi naman ho mag-shrink even as we are doing so well to increase the demand and the awareness, no, of the impact of TECVOC training nationwide.

4053
05:02:17,340 --> 05:02:22,680
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Binagay niyo po 5.3 billion. Kanina may binagay kayo na 2.4 billion. Medyo naguluhan ako.

4054
05:02:23,000 --> 05:02:24,400
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Yung 2.4 billion na binagay kayo.

4055
05:02:24,420 --> 05:02:28,720
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Yung 2.4 billion na binagay kayo kanina. Ito'y parang pagpapatuloy nung sa scholarships, tama po ba?

4056
05:02:29,140 --> 05:02:32,080
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Ito po ang pagpapatuloy natin sa diploma programs.

4057
05:02:32,600 --> 05:02:42,320
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So these are the 2 to 3 year higher level NC3 to NC5 programs taught by TESDA or TESDA institutions

4058
05:02:42,320 --> 05:02:48,360
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: that are being ladderized into bachelor's degrees of CHED.

4059
05:02:48,360 --> 05:02:53,860
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So as the one education system converges with greater efficiency,

4060
05:02:54,420 --> 05:02:58,380
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: for the benefit of better human development in the country,

4061
05:02:58,840 --> 05:03:06,300
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: ang prediction ho namin ay it will widen and it will be more expansive.

4062
05:03:07,080 --> 05:03:17,220
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So to reduce budget at this point might freeze the reforms in track and not be able to get us to implement the NACP plan.

4063
05:03:17,500 --> 05:03:23,300
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Sir, would it be possible to submit a sort of a breakdown of your additional asks?

4064
05:03:24,080 --> 05:03:24,400
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Yes, sir.

4065
05:03:24,420 --> 05:03:29,640
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So it's actually part of the presentation that was handed to the committee this morning.

4066
05:03:29,760 --> 05:03:29,920
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Okay.

4067
05:03:30,920 --> 05:03:33,420
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Rep Tony, we already have the breakdown of the...

4068
05:03:33,420 --> 05:03:43,120
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: When the good secretary presented earlier, it was the climax of his presentation because it was very, very important to the department.

4069
05:03:43,400 --> 05:03:47,640
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: So I will instruct the secretary to furnish you a copy.

4070
05:03:47,980 --> 05:03:53,300
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: The presentation was short and sweet and so the climax passed without my noticing it.

4071
05:03:53,600 --> 05:03:54,300
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: And I don't...

4072
05:03:54,420 --> 05:03:56,360
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: I don't want the secretary to tear up.

4073
05:03:57,040 --> 05:04:01,900
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: So I'm in support of the increase in budget of TESDA as well as DOLE.

4074
05:04:02,520 --> 05:04:03,240
Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Maraming salamat po.

4075
05:04:07,230 --> 05:04:09,410
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Maraming salamat, Rep Tony Roman.

4076
05:04:09,710 --> 05:04:11,490
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: We move back to the minority.

4077
05:04:12,390 --> 05:04:16,370
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: The chair acknowledges Rep Robert Nazal.

4078
05:04:17,430 --> 05:04:18,250
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

4079
05:04:18,990 --> 05:04:23,430
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Magandang hapon po sa puong DOLE at TESDA this afternoon.

4080
05:04:23,430 --> 05:04:26,050
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Nandito rin po ang aking kaibigan na is kumbatiin.

4081
05:04:26,690 --> 05:04:27,450
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Ernie Chatzamora.

4082
05:04:28,130 --> 05:04:28,750
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Magandang hapon.

4083
05:04:29,970 --> 05:04:31,430
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Good afternoon, dalawang sekretary.

4084
05:04:32,910 --> 05:04:40,330
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair, before I begin, I would like to congratulate Secretary Francis Tolentino on his appointment to DOLE.

4085
05:04:41,550 --> 05:04:50,570
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Sekretary, having served in the Senate, you come to DOLE with a deep understanding of legislation, government processes, and the concerns of our workers.

4086
05:04:51,570 --> 05:04:56,370
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Although you have been with the department for a few months only,

4087
05:04:56,690 --> 05:04:59,830
Rep. Roberto Nazal: we have already seen some encouraging directions,

4088
05:05:00,510 --> 05:05:07,650
Rep. Roberto Nazal: particularly your focus on labor justice, assistance to workers, and improving the delivery of DOLE programs.

4089
05:05:08,930 --> 05:05:11,090
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Marami pong kailangan ayusin sa DOLE,

4090
05:05:11,710 --> 05:05:15,690
Rep. Roberto Nazal: at marami sa mga problema ang tatanungin namin ngayon ay naabutan lamang ninyo.

4091
05:05:16,410 --> 05:05:17,490
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kaya hopeful po kami,

4092
05:05:18,210 --> 05:05:21,810
Rep. Roberto Nazal: with your experience in the Senate and now your leadership of the department,

4093
05:05:21,810 --> 05:05:25,810
Rep. Roberto Nazal: I am confident that you can address these long-standing implementation issues.

4094
05:05:26,690 --> 05:05:33,690
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And make sure that the funds of Congress, that the funds Congress provides actually reach our workers.

4095
05:05:33,690 --> 05:05:38,690
Rep. Roberto Nazal: We hope to understand where the bottlenecks are, what support DOLE needs,

4096
05:05:38,690 --> 05:05:43,690
Rep. Roberto Nazal: and how Congress can help make these programs work better for our workers.

4097
05:05:43,690 --> 05:05:56,080
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, Mr. Chair, TUPAD is being reduced from 21.28 billion to 11.03 billion.

4098
05:05:56,080 --> 05:06:01,280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Target beneficiaries fall from about 1.48 million

4099
05:06:01,280 --> 05:06:05,780
Rep. Roberto Nazal: to 672,776.

4100
05:06:06,320 --> 05:06:10,000
Rep. Roberto Nazal: How much does DOLE need Congress to restore?

4101
05:06:10,660 --> 05:06:12,760
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And how much additional workers can you serve?

4102
05:06:13,940 --> 05:06:18,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kung kayo po ang tatanungin, ilan po ba dapat ang tinatarget natin sa isang taon?

4103
05:06:19,820 --> 05:06:27,360
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Your Honor, kanina po ay nagbigay ng hiling yung aming Undersecretary.

4104
05:06:27,360 --> 05:06:29,360
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I think that the document would...

4105
05:06:29,940 --> 05:06:32,700
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Speak for itself kung ilan yung nilalaman noon.

4106
05:06:32,800 --> 05:06:35,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And if I can defer to the good undersecretary.

4107
05:06:37,460 --> 05:06:38,880
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: With the permission of the secretary,

4108
05:06:39,880 --> 05:06:43,260
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: our budget for 2026 is 21 billion

4109
05:06:43,260 --> 05:06:46,820
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: and that would cater to almost 1 million plus,

4110
05:06:47,380 --> 05:06:49,860
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: almost 1 million to-pat beneficiaries

4111
05:06:49,860 --> 05:06:53,700
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: to be exact, 932,777.

4112
05:06:54,240 --> 05:06:56,780
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Kung sa 2027 po, BBM sa NEP po,

4113
05:06:57,000 --> 05:06:58,560
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: meron po kaming 11 billion lang,

4114
05:06:58,560 --> 05:07:02,780
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: ang bawas po yun ng mga 672,000.

4115
05:07:03,240 --> 05:07:04,820
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Therefore, yung 11 billion po,

4116
05:07:04,880 --> 05:07:06,580
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: mga 300 plus thousand lang po.

4117
05:07:06,960 --> 05:07:08,400
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: So yung nire-request po namin,

4118
05:07:08,580 --> 05:07:11,740
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Your Honor, is 10.25 billion

4119
05:07:11,740 --> 05:07:18,000
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: na magdadagdag po sa kabuang 672,776

4120
05:07:18,000 --> 05:07:20,020
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: para ma-restore po yung kabuang

4121
05:07:20,020 --> 05:07:22,060
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: almost 1 million po na to-pat beneficiaries.

4122
05:07:22,200 --> 05:07:24,240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Additional 10.25 billion po?

4123
05:07:24,440 --> 05:07:25,200
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Yes, Your Honor.

4124
05:07:25,880 --> 05:07:28,460
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Ano po ba ang idea?

4125
05:07:28,560 --> 05:07:31,180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Well, I mean, do we have an annual target?

4126
05:07:31,320 --> 05:07:33,100
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kung ilan ang dapat beneficiaries na

4127
05:07:33,100 --> 05:07:36,880
Rep. Roberto Nazal: na dapat binibigyan natin taon-taon?

4128
05:07:40,050 --> 05:07:41,930
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Taon-taon po kasi, Your Honor,

4129
05:07:42,250 --> 05:07:44,310
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: with the permission of the secretary,

4130
05:07:44,570 --> 05:07:47,650
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: mga million na po ang aming target po.

4131
05:07:48,110 --> 05:07:50,510
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: So depende na po sa number of days na work po,

4132
05:07:50,590 --> 05:07:52,950
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: yung minimum 10 days, maximum of 90.

4133
05:07:53,370 --> 05:07:55,470
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: So yung tentative computation lang po namin

4134
05:07:55,470 --> 05:07:57,630
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: for that 1 million or 932,000

4135
05:07:57,630 --> 05:07:59,630
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: is nakapig sa 20 days lang po.

4136
05:08:00,230 --> 05:08:02,230
Rep. Roberto Nazal: What's the total universe target?

4137
05:08:03,230 --> 05:08:06,230
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Our target is about 1 million po.

4138
05:08:06,230 --> 05:08:07,810
Rep. Roberto Nazal: No, 1 million a year.

4139
05:08:08,270 --> 05:08:08,710
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Yes, sir.

4140
05:08:08,850 --> 05:08:11,290
Rep. Roberto Nazal: But in terms of yung gusto natin

4141
05:08:11,290 --> 05:08:15,170
Rep. Roberto Nazal: maging beneficiary or matrain every year,

4142
05:08:16,570 --> 05:08:19,390
Rep. Roberto Nazal: meron po bang total universe na tinitignan?

4143
05:08:22,710 --> 05:08:23,550
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: For that, Your Honor,

4144
05:08:23,730 --> 05:08:26,930
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: I defer to the program manager handling the to-pat,

4145
05:08:27,990 --> 05:08:28,890
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Asek Amireyas.

4146
05:08:29,190 --> 05:08:30,770
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Your Honor, if I may intervene.

4147
05:08:30,770 --> 05:08:32,770
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Marami pong mga...

4148
05:08:32,850 --> 05:08:34,890
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Variables na unpredictable.

4149
05:08:35,790 --> 05:08:37,250
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Halimbawa po, hindi natin alam

4150

05:14:04,500 --> 05:14:06,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So we've already

4304
05:14:06,500 --> 05:14:08,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: done pilots with

4305
05:14:08,500 --> 05:14:10,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: different industries.

4306
05:14:10,500 --> 05:14:12,500
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Merong mga

4307
05:14:12,500 --> 05:14:14,500
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: naging beneficiaries,

4308
05:14:14,500 --> 05:14:16,500
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: but if there's particular

4309
05:14:16,500 --> 05:14:18,500
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: a pilot that

4310
05:14:18,500 --> 05:14:20,500
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: you're thinking about that

4311
05:14:20,500 --> 05:14:22,500
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: you can also share, probably

4312
05:14:22,500 --> 05:14:24,500
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: that can be explored.

4313
05:14:24,500 --> 05:14:26,500
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: In fact, sir...

4314
05:14:26,500 --> 05:14:28,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Ang sinasabi ko po, ma'am, is

4315
05:14:28,500 --> 05:14:30,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair,

4316
05:14:30,500 --> 05:14:32,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: is for example, we tie up with

4317
05:14:32,500 --> 05:14:34,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: the Philippine Franchise

4318
05:14:34,500 --> 05:14:36,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Association, and then meron

4319
05:14:36,500 --> 05:14:38,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: mga established businesses,

4320
05:14:38,500 --> 05:14:40,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: and then the beneficiaries

4321
05:14:40,500 --> 05:14:42,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: can choose kung ano yung

4322
05:14:42,500 --> 05:14:44,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: interest nila. Meron

4323
05:14:44,500 --> 05:14:46,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: ng mga sariling sistema ito.

4324
05:14:46,500 --> 05:14:48,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And then, yun na lang ang...

4325
05:14:48,500 --> 05:14:50,500
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Okay. May dalawa po tayong

4326
05:14:50,500 --> 05:14:52,500
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: pinag-uusapan if I

4327
05:14:52,500 --> 05:14:54,500
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: may elaborate.

4328
05:14:54,500 --> 05:14:56,500
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: One is, yung sinasabi po

4329
05:14:56,500 --> 05:14:58,500
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: ninyo na livelihood project,

4330
05:14:58,500 --> 05:15:00,580
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: na ito yung binibigay natin sa kamaramihan.

4331
05:15:00,580 --> 05:15:12,360
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: But for those establishment na pwedeng matulungan to have a business, meron tayong adjustment measures program po that they can avail. I think Usec Ami would like to share something about it.

4332
05:15:12,360 --> 05:15:37,320
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: With the permission of the Secretary, i-elaborate ko lang po yung ating adjustment measures program. Ito po ay for existing establishments na where we could improve their systems, provide technology, technological support, productivity improvement, systems improvement, and then i-improve natin sila para then they can continue with their income generation of the enterprise.

4333
05:15:37,320 --> 05:15:41,460
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Ano po ito? Mga micro and small enterprises.

4334
05:15:41,460 --> 05:15:50,560
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: So we've had some pilots already and successful enterprises nationwide and we would want to continue this.

4335
05:15:50,560 --> 05:15:51,560
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Under the DILP?

4336
05:15:51,840 --> 05:15:54,460
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Hindi po ito. Adjustment measures program.

4337
05:15:55,620 --> 05:15:59,380
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So this is for a different program? Ang sinasabi ko po for the DILP sana?

4338
05:15:59,380 --> 05:16:08,380
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: A different program under DOLIP din po. But for existing enterprises po ito. Different po ito sa DILP.

4339
05:16:09,460 --> 05:16:11,380
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Kasama din po dito yung purchases organization.

4340
05:16:11,460 --> 05:16:15,400
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Equipment. Kasama din siya for existing enterprises.

4341
05:16:16,180 --> 05:16:25,240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: What I'm saying ma'am is sana ma'am, halimbawa meron tayong urban beneficiaries under the DILP.

4342
05:16:25,460 --> 05:16:32,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Tapos meron parang business matching dun sa tao kung ano yung pwede sa kanila.

4343
05:16:33,000 --> 05:16:37,260
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So may established system na meron ng, katulad nga ng mga franchise.

4344
05:16:37,980 --> 05:16:41,360
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Diba parang ang gagawin natin may franchise fair tayo.

4345
05:16:41,460 --> 05:16:49,250
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So baka we can do a pilot. That's what I'm suggesting.

4346
05:16:50,250 --> 05:16:53,930
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And if that's possible, yun na nga, baka we can come up with a program.

4347
05:16:54,410 --> 05:16:58,050
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Tie up with the, let's say the franchise association and then do a pilot.

4348
05:16:58,850 --> 05:17:03,530
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Anyway, can I just go to TESDA for a while? One question.

4349
05:17:03,990 --> 05:17:04,750
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Wrap it up.

4350
05:17:05,390 --> 05:17:06,470
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you Mr. Chair.

4351
05:17:06,470 --> 05:17:16,760
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair, so DBM's preliminary year-end 2025 report.

4352
05:17:17,440 --> 05:17:26,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Shows TESDA had a 6.74 billion unobligated and 66.5 disbursement rate against obligations.

4353
05:17:26,040 --> 05:17:31,540
Rep. Roberto Nazal: As of August 2026, rate against obligations.

4354
05:17:31,740 --> 05:17:37,960
Rep. Roberto Nazal: As of August 2026, 16.77 billion remains unobligated.

4355
05:17:39,200 --> 05:17:47,400
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So my question Mr. Chair, we referred several schools and courses for scholarship funding.

4356
05:17:47,440 --> 05:17:49,440
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Not a single one was approved.

4357
05:17:49,440 --> 05:17:57,440
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Magkano sa mga balancing ito ang scholarship funds at bakit hindi po na-aprubahan ang mga ni-refer namin?

4358
05:17:57,440 --> 05:18:15,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Mr. Chair, I would need to know which schools that you referred to is the first question because there is a process by which allocations for scholarships are put against schools, their absorptive capacity, and the qualifications that they offer specific to an area.

4359
05:18:15,820 --> 05:18:17,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: That's the first, that's the first point sir.

4360
05:18:17,820 --> 05:18:18,320
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The second point sir.

4361
05:18:18,820 --> 05:18:21,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The second is a, we can give you the report.

4362
05:18:21,820 --> 05:18:40,780
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The scholarship funds today, much of it, Mr. Chair with your indulgence, much of the scholarship funds from 2026 was actually for late release and has just arrived two to three weeks ago and are therefore up and subject for processing.

4363
05:18:42,260 --> 05:18:45,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Although the allocation is in general almost at 82%.

4364
05:18:46,820 --> 05:18:48,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Hindi ko alam kung...

4365
05:18:48,820 --> 05:18:51,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Good news po yan para sa amin na but I will submit the list again.

4366
05:18:52,820 --> 05:18:53,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Thank you very much.

4367
05:18:54,820 --> 05:19:02,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair, kasi ang tanong ko naman doon kung qualified naman yung schools at courses at may available naman na funds, bakit wala na-approve?

4368
05:19:02,820 --> 05:19:03,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So sabi nyo ba...

4369
05:19:03,820 --> 05:19:16,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Usually, if it's qualified in accordance with the area prioritization of the qualifications with the absorptive capacities of the school,

4370
05:19:16,820 --> 05:19:23,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: then the question becomes how many other schools in that area are in fact serving that same set of qualifications.

4371
05:19:23,820 --> 05:19:27,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Yun po ang usually bottleneck.

4372
05:19:27,820 --> 05:19:31,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So that's very clear. Hindi naman ho siguro dahil ako yung nag-refer.

4373
05:19:31,820 --> 05:19:34,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Hindi naman ho.

4374
05:19:34,820 --> 05:19:43,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Anyway, just to add, kamusta po ba yung enterprise-based programs ninyo and how did we perform this year versus last year?

4375
05:19:43,820 --> 05:19:45,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Siguro now, I'm going to ask.

4376
05:19:45,820 --> 05:19:53,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Didi Ginelli to respond because I responded earlier to the same question and I think the committee is tired of my voice.

4377
05:19:55,820 --> 05:19:57,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: Okay, thank you very much, Sec.

4378
05:19:58,820 --> 05:20:01,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: Okay, maybe just to give some figures to you.

4379
05:20:01,820 --> 05:20:11,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: We're actually measuring the accomplishments and achievements as far as the enterprise-based education and training in terms of enrollment and graduates.

4380
05:20:11,820 --> 05:20:14,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: So right now, for EBIT in particular,

4381
05:20:14,820 --> 05:20:21,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: the total number is around 30,043 with around 19,379 graduates.

4382
05:20:21,820 --> 05:20:31,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: But if we combine that with EBT because this is actually a continuation of the EBT and then we had EBIT when the law was signed in 2024,

4383
05:20:31,820 --> 05:20:40,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: the total number of enrollment is about 79,477 and graduate of about 61,466.

4384
05:20:40,820 --> 05:20:42,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: And we'd like also to inform the body that

4385
05:20:42,820 --> 05:20:54,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: the programs, the one-stop shop, the portal that TESDA is also developing is actually due for launch on the third week of September.

4386
05:20:54,820 --> 05:21:00,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: In that particular program, we're actually looking into digitized program registration.

4387
05:21:00,820 --> 05:21:10,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: So information about qualifications or programs, the enterprises where they can apply are actually in that particular online system.

4388
05:21:10,820 --> 05:21:11,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: And two more.

4389
05:21:11,820 --> 05:21:19,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: Integrators is actually one program that TESDA is looking at as far as the EBIT is concerned

4390
05:21:19,820 --> 05:21:25,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: because we wanted also to onboard micro, small and medium enterprises

4391
05:21:25,820 --> 05:21:28,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: because we know that micro, small and medium enterprises do not have,

4392
05:21:28,820 --> 05:21:35,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: not all of them would have the capability and capacity to run their own training compared with the large enterprises.

4393
05:21:35,820 --> 05:21:40,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: So we're actually also developing, you know, capacitating potential integrators

4394
05:21:40,820 --> 05:21:42,820
TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: who can assist the MSMEs.

4395
05:21:42,820 --> 05:21:44,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you for all the information.

4396
05:21:44,820 --> 05:21:48,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: I will just request the committee, Mr. Chair,

4397
05:21:48,820 --> 05:21:56,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: to let TESDA to please submit before plenary the complete 2025 year and in latest 2026 reports

4398
05:21:56,820 --> 05:22:07,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: for TWSP, STEP, Tulong Trabaho and all other scholarship programs, allocations, utilization, remaining balances and distribution by region, province, school and course.

4399
05:22:07,820 --> 05:22:09,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Plus the written reasons.

4400
05:22:10,820 --> 05:22:13,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Why our referrals were not approved.

4401
05:22:13,820 --> 05:22:21,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Anyway, just to end, I would like to manifest that right now po sa ating ekonomiya,

4402
05:22:21,820 --> 05:22:26,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: I am surprised na ang babawasan pa ng pondo ay ang TESDA at ang DOLE.

4403
05:22:26,820 --> 05:22:29,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Napaka-importante po na ang pondo nyo ay ma-restore

4404
05:22:29,820 --> 05:22:34,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: at kung ako po ang tatanungin ay dapat po i-increase pa ang pondo ng TESDA at ng DOLE.

4405
05:22:34,820 --> 05:22:43,370
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So I urge Congress to increase the fund of TESDA and DOLE.

4406
05:22:44,370 --> 05:22:46,370
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Para sa ating bansa.

4407
05:22:46,370 --> 05:22:49,370
Rep. Roberto Nazal: For the sake of our country and for the sake of our economy.

4408
05:22:49,370 --> 05:22:51,370
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Maraming salamat po.

4409
05:22:51,370 --> 05:22:53,370
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Thank you, Rep. Robert Nazal.

4410
05:22:53,370 --> 05:23:00,370
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: ComSec, please take note that all the lists that are being asked by Rep. Nazal.

4411
05:23:00,370 --> 05:23:06,370
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: So next will be on the majority side, Rep. Anna York Bondok.

4412
05:23:06,370 --> 05:23:09,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.

4413
05:23:09,370 --> 05:23:13,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And first of all, I'd like to congratulate our new Secretary of State,

4414
05:23:13,370 --> 05:23:15,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: our new Secretary of Labor.

4415
05:23:15,370 --> 05:23:18,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: One of the best senators and pinak-mabayit din po.

4416
05:23:18,370 --> 05:23:22,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And we are very happy to have him now at the DOLE.

4417
05:23:22,370 --> 05:23:29,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So my first question is, we are very worried about children and the internet.

4418
05:23:29,370 --> 05:23:38,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And especially its relationship po to violence and other issues regarding children's mental health.

4419
05:23:38,370 --> 05:23:41,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Can you tell us more about Labor Advisory No. 12?

4420
05:23:41,370 --> 05:23:43,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And child influencers.

4421
05:23:43,370 --> 05:23:46,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Worse, hindi lang sila nagkoconsume sa internet.

4422
05:23:46,370 --> 05:23:49,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: E sila pa po yung nagpe-perform sa internet.

4423
05:23:49,370 --> 05:23:52,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I'm just only hoping that it is safe.

4424
05:23:52,370 --> 05:23:57,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Yung ginagawa po nila ay hindi po exploitation ng children.

4425
05:23:57,370 --> 05:23:59,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: In fact, by their own parents.

4426
05:23:59,370 --> 05:24:01,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Kasi kumikita po ito.

4427
05:24:01,370 --> 05:24:04,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Nagulat po ako na yung kaklase daw ng anak ko, so ni grade 9.

4428
05:24:04,370 --> 05:24:06,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: A makeup influencer na raw.

4429
05:24:06,370 --> 05:24:08,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: At marami na raw kinikita.

4430
05:24:08,370 --> 05:24:11,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So can you let us know what is the DOLE's stand on this?

4431
05:24:11,370 --> 05:24:14,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And what are you doing po to protect our children

4432
05:24:14,370 --> 05:24:19,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: from not only consuming but performing internet activities?

4433
05:24:19,370 --> 05:24:22,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang salamat po, Congresswoman.

4434
05:24:22,370 --> 05:24:28,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I-issue lang po namin hindi katagalan yung Advisory No. 12.

4435
05:24:28,370 --> 05:24:35,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At ang nilalaman po nito ay para bigyan din at laman yung protection para sa ating mga kabataan below 15.

4436
05:24:35,370 --> 05:24:37,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Dalawa po ang aspeto nito.

4437
05:24:37,370 --> 05:24:39,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yung nagtatrabaho po na kontrolado ng magulang.

4438
05:24:39,370 --> 05:24:40,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At yung nagtatrabaho po

4439
05:24:40,370 --> 05:24:43,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At yung nagtatrabaho po kontrolado ng employer.

4440
05:24:43,370 --> 05:24:51,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Sa dalawang branch po ay amin po sinisigurado na ang kabataang Pilipino ay hindi ma-exploit.

4441
05:24:51,370 --> 05:24:56,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi magtatrabaho ng between 10 to 6 ng madaling araw.

4442
05:24:56,370 --> 05:25:02,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At mangangailangan po ng permit kung ito ay nagtatrabaho sa isang employer.

4443
05:25:02,370 --> 05:25:09,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At mangangailangan din po na siguraduhin yung kikitain niya 20% lang ang mapupunta po sa pamilya.

4444
05:25:09,370 --> 05:25:15,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At yung 80% ay mapupunta sa kanyang pag-aaral, sa kanyang well-being, sa kanyang kalusugan.

4445
05:25:15,370 --> 05:25:19,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Nang sa ganun po hindi po ma-exploit yung kabataang Pilipino.

4446
05:25:19,370 --> 05:25:22,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Lalawang lalo na yung pumapasok sa dalawang uri po yan.

4447
05:25:22,370 --> 05:25:24,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Entertainment yung isa.

4448
05:25:24,370 --> 05:25:29,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At yung isa po ay talagang nagsusuporta doon sa mga advertisements, etc., etc.

4449
05:25:29,370 --> 05:25:31,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Lumalabas sa mga television shows.

4450
05:25:31,370 --> 05:25:34,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At makikita natin pinagahanap buhay na ng maaga.

4451
05:25:34,370 --> 05:25:35,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Uulitin ko po ito.

4452
05:25:35,370 --> 05:25:38,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang layunin po nito ay tumupad sa napakaraming ILO commitment.

4453
05:25:38,370 --> 05:25:42,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ng Pilipinas na huwag ma-exploit ang kabataang Pilipino.

4454
05:25:42,370 --> 05:25:44,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kabilang na rin po dito yung mga nagtatrabaho.

4455
05:25:44,370 --> 05:25:49,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Di umano sa ilang ulat na nagtatrabaho sa minahan.

4456
05:25:49,370 --> 05:25:53,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Nagtatrabaho sa palengke ng pinagbubuhat.

4457
05:25:53,370 --> 05:25:56,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yan po ay hindi natin kinakontinence.

4458
05:25:56,370 --> 05:26:04,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Subalit sa internet ay napakalaki pong puhang ang nangyayari dahil sa bahay lang po ito.

4459
05:26:04,370 --> 05:26:06,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Iba po yung nasa internet.

4460
05:26:06,370 --> 05:26:07,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yes.

4461
05:26:07,370 --> 05:26:09,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So ito pong guidelines na nilabas namin.

4462
05:26:09,370 --> 05:26:11,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Well disseminated na ito.

4463
05:26:11,370 --> 05:26:21,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At sana po ay magkaroon ng hindi lamang katuparan yung ninanais ng International Labour Organization.

4464
05:26:21,370 --> 05:26:23,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Para ma-prevent din.

4465
05:26:23,370 --> 05:26:26,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: May alam nga ako, two years old pa lang eh.

4466
05:26:26,370 --> 05:26:34,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Lumalabas na sa Facebook at sa ibang platforms.

4467
05:26:34,370 --> 05:26:35,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So yun po yung nilalaman.

4468
05:26:35,370 --> 05:26:45,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And we can provide your honor a copy of that Labor Advisory Number 12.

4469
05:26:45,370 --> 05:26:50,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I would like to congratulate you po on this groundbreaking advisory.

4470
05:26:50,370 --> 05:26:53,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Lalo na po bago-bago pa lang pero nakagawa na po.

4471
05:26:53,370 --> 05:26:58,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: My question is, how are you enforcing this?

4472
05:26:58,370 --> 05:27:02,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Unang-una po yung wide dissemination ng Labor Advisory.

4473
05:27:02,370 --> 05:27:03,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Hindi.

4474
05:27:03,370 --> 05:27:06,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Nakontak niyo po ba yung matataasang views sa FB?

4475
05:27:06,370 --> 05:27:07,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I don't know.

4476
05:27:07,370 --> 05:27:08,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Opo.

4477
05:27:08,370 --> 05:27:11,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Sa ngayon po, dahil bago-bago pa lang po yan,

4478
05:27:11,370 --> 05:27:17,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: yung aming po ang Bureau of Local Employment ang nakatalagang mag-monitor niyan.

4479
05:27:17,370 --> 05:27:20,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Lalong-lalo na yung nasa entertainment industry.

4480
05:27:20,370 --> 05:27:24,370
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang sinasabi ko po dito, yung lumalabas sa mga TV shows.

4481
05:27:24,370 --> 05:27:28,720
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Lahat po yan ay namamonitor.

4482
05:27:28,720 --> 05:27:33,720
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So ito pong iba, siguro po yung BLE namin ay sa number of followers.

4483
05:27:33,720 --> 05:27:36,720
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Merong gustong idagdag si Secreyes?

4484
05:27:36,720 --> 05:27:43,280
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Can you share any data like how many child influencers na po ang nasa internet?

4485
05:27:43,280 --> 05:27:45,280
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And what is the average age?

4486
05:27:45,280 --> 05:27:48,280
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Kasi mga infants pa yung iba eh.

4487
05:27:48,280 --> 05:27:50,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: If I may po, ma'am.

4488
05:27:50,280 --> 05:27:54,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Well, yung tanong niyo po pa dina, what do we do?

4489
05:27:54,280 --> 05:28:00,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Naglabas na po si Sec ng Labor Advisory 12 na okay na po yun.

4490
05:28:00,280 --> 05:28:03,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: But of course, the monitoring is one of the challenges.

4491
05:28:03,280 --> 05:28:07,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: But meron din ho kaming makabata hotline na tinatawag.

4492
05:28:07,280 --> 05:28:14,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Na pwede ho kasing mag-report doon sa hotline na yun yung ating mga kababayan.

4493
05:28:14,280 --> 05:28:18,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: But meron din ho mga reports galing din ho sa ating mga regional offices.

4494
05:28:18,280 --> 05:28:26,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Nagko-conduct po sila ng mga validation report at saka interview sa blogger at saka doon sa parents nung bata.

4495
05:28:26,280 --> 05:28:30,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: At tinitingnan din ho yan kung meron silang working child permit.

4496
05:28:30,280 --> 05:28:32,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Well, yung katotohanan po ma'am.

4497
05:28:32,280 --> 05:28:39,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Hindi naman lahat ho kasi ay nakakaalam na kailangan pala nila kumuha ng working child permit.

4498
05:28:39,280 --> 05:28:44,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Kaya yung labor advisory will serve as a guidance for them na kahit magulang,

4499
05:28:44,280 --> 05:28:50,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: kahit na anong establishments na pwedeng gusto kumuha ng bata at magtrabaho sa bata,

4500
05:28:50,280 --> 05:28:53,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: sisiguraduhin nilang natutupad nila yung mga requirements.

4501
05:28:53,280 --> 05:28:59,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Unang-una, hindi ho kailangan na mapabayaan yung well-being of children.

4502
05:28:59,280 --> 05:29:01,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Kahit they are being engaged in this kind of work,

4503
05:29:02,280 --> 05:29:06,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: at meron silang work, kakondisyon ho yun doon sa working child permit.

4504
05:29:06,280 --> 05:29:08,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Kailangan ng bata nakakapag-aral.

4505
05:29:08,280 --> 05:29:11,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Hindi siya full time na nagtatrabaho.

4506
05:29:11,280 --> 05:29:15,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: At meron din po siyang oras para siya ay makapaglaro.

4507
05:29:15,280 --> 05:29:20,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: So ang mga regional offices po natin ma'am, ang nagmamonitor po nito.

4508
05:29:20,280 --> 05:29:25,280
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Ma'am, sana po yung mga kumpanya din po that actually pay for their ads,

4509
05:29:25,280 --> 05:29:30,280
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: they should not be allowed to employ po kids na wala pong permit and they should be fined.

4510
05:29:30,280 --> 05:29:34,280
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Kasi sila po ang kumikita na malaki, yung mga corporations.

4511
05:29:34,280 --> 05:29:39,280
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Kasama po ba yun sa advisory? I'm sorry, I didn't see a copy but I'm very interested.

4512
05:29:39,280 --> 05:29:45,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Even before po ng advisory, may batas na po kasi tayo diyan, as you know very well.

4513
05:29:45,280 --> 05:29:48,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: So para po doon sa mga private companies sa formal sector,

4514
05:29:48,280 --> 05:29:53,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: minomonitor po yan ng mga regional offices natin through our labor inspection program.

4515
05:29:53,280 --> 05:29:58,280
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Yes, ma'am. I am not referring to children like singing and dancing on stage.

4516
05:29:58,280 --> 05:30:00,000
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: But as you know,

4517
05:30:00,000 --> 05:30:04,400
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, P50,000 na po per mention lang po.

4518
05:30:04,700 --> 05:30:06,840
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And these are not even for famous influencers.

4519
05:30:07,540 --> 05:30:11,380
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, for the kids po, they can earn P100,000, P200,000 per post.

4520
05:30:11,920 --> 05:30:15,900
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, sana po yung mga kumpanya would also be aware that this is a form of child labor.

4521
05:30:16,340 --> 05:30:20,580
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Sometimes we just think, andun lang sa bahay, pinifilm ni mommy, pero hindi po, trabaho yun.

4522
05:30:21,220 --> 05:30:23,080
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Opo, tama po kayo doon.

4523
05:30:23,080 --> 05:30:25,680
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Kaya nga po, pagdating naman sa mga kumpanya, ma'am,

4524
05:30:25,680 --> 05:30:30,180
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: pag pumunta ang ating labor inspector, isa yan sa tinitingnan din po nila.

4525
05:30:30,380 --> 05:30:34,900
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Plus yung monitoring po natin sa mga social media, kasama din po yun.

4526
05:30:35,180 --> 05:30:37,900
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: But marami pong salamat doon sa inyong recommendation.

4527
05:30:37,980 --> 05:30:40,580
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Thank you so much. Ma'am, maalaking bagay po yan.

4528
05:30:41,280 --> 05:30:44,680
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Thank you so much also for your attention to this sec, and congratulations.

4529
05:30:45,420 --> 05:30:49,500
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I would like to react po doon sa tupad po na sinabing ayuda.

4530
05:30:50,080 --> 05:30:53,000
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Hindi po ayuda yung tupad kasi nagtatrabaho kayo.

4531
05:30:53,420 --> 05:30:55,500
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, this is a form of short-term employment.

4532
05:30:55,680 --> 05:31:01,940
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, ililinaw ko lang po na hopefully na ilinaw nyo rin po that wala pong ayuda included.

4533
05:31:02,180 --> 05:31:04,360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Kasi our concept of ayuda is bibigyan ka lang ng pera.

4534
05:31:04,660 --> 05:31:06,200
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: But that is not the concept po.

4535
05:31:06,300 --> 05:31:09,980
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And I think that is not what we are thinking of when we do tupad.

4536
05:31:10,400 --> 05:31:15,100
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, sana po, siguro what we need to strengthen po sa tupad is the monitoring.

4537
05:31:15,960 --> 05:31:19,820
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Kasi kung hindi naman po nababantayan yung mga tao, talagang upo na lang po.

4538
05:31:20,240 --> 05:31:24,720
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And I would suggest that the percentage of the tupad be used to monitor mismo.

4539
05:31:24,720 --> 05:31:26,400
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Or to hire monitors.

4540
05:31:26,960 --> 05:31:28,880
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Or to get independent monitors.

4541
05:31:29,640 --> 05:31:31,800
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And then, kailangan po malinaw yung deliverables.

4542
05:31:31,980 --> 05:31:33,080
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Ano bang gagawin nila?

4543
05:31:34,480 --> 05:31:37,840
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And then, finally, you might also want to collab po.

4544
05:31:38,200 --> 05:31:44,520
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Sa amin po, yung GIP namin, they work in schools as assistant teachers for the teachers.

4545
05:31:45,100 --> 05:31:49,060
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Assistant admin for those who are not, these are new graduates.

4546
05:31:49,400 --> 05:31:52,340
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, assistant admin po sa mga hindi BS education.

4547
05:31:52,340 --> 05:31:53,880
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Tapos may nagtanong po.

4548
05:31:54,720 --> 05:31:58,780
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Yung mga criminology graduates, ano daw ang gagawin nila sa school?

4549
05:31:59,160 --> 05:32:03,460
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Naisip po na isang principal namin, sila po yung magbubukas ng mga bag na mga bata.

4550
05:32:04,400 --> 05:32:06,140
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, that was supposed to be a joke.

4551
05:32:08,200 --> 05:32:12,120
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, ang nagmamonitor po sa kanila, yung DepEd.

4552
05:32:12,440 --> 05:32:15,720
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, may monitor na hindi po sila.

4553
05:32:15,940 --> 05:32:17,400
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, you need to have a monitoring.

4554
05:32:18,060 --> 05:32:19,520
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, kailangan po talaga yan.

4555
05:32:19,520 --> 05:32:21,320
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And then, I would like to share some.

4556
05:32:21,840 --> 05:32:22,600
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Pwede po bang?

4557
05:32:23,560 --> 05:32:24,560
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: If you could share po.

4558
05:32:24,720 --> 05:32:30,420
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, if you might want to publish po yung mga ginagawa ng mga tao sa Tupad para makita po nila.

4559
05:32:30,960 --> 05:32:31,980
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Para malaman.

4560
05:32:32,280 --> 05:32:35,260
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I'd like to, meron po kaming gulayan ni Nana.

4561
05:32:35,380 --> 05:32:37,260
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: If you have a picture po, that would be very good.

4562
05:32:37,900 --> 05:32:38,920
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I think I have a photo.

4563
05:32:39,340 --> 05:32:39,860
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Ayan po.

4564
05:32:40,180 --> 05:32:41,660
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Nagtatanim po yung mga mommies.

4565
05:32:42,580 --> 05:32:44,900
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And moving forward, yan po yung tinanim nila.

4566
05:32:45,280 --> 05:32:47,780
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: This is not planting lang.

4567
05:32:48,060 --> 05:32:51,020
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: This is on the concept of the first 1,000 days.

4568
05:32:51,020 --> 05:32:53,900
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: This is a collab po between the DOH.

4569
05:32:53,900 --> 05:32:56,560
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: At the DA and the DOLE.

4570
05:32:56,840 --> 05:32:59,320
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, the DOLE po yung nagbabayad.

4571
05:32:59,640 --> 05:33:02,700
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: The DOH po, you need to learn about breastfeeding.

4572
05:33:03,100 --> 05:33:04,860
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Tapos yung DA po, food security.

4573
05:33:05,120 --> 05:33:07,340
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, ang nagmamonitor naman po doon.

4574
05:33:07,420 --> 05:33:10,820
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Nakikita naman po pag wala kayong gulay na ma-produce, talagang may problema.

4575
05:33:11,520 --> 05:33:15,100
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And then lastly, I also wanted to share yung coastal clean up po namin.

4576
05:33:15,880 --> 05:33:19,740
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Ito po yung naglinis ng estero sa lugar po namin.

4577
05:33:20,300 --> 05:33:23,120
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: This is again, a form of natural flood control.

4578
05:33:23,120 --> 05:33:29,120
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Tapos ang nagmonitor naman po yung estero rangers po ng DNR.

4579
05:33:29,960 --> 05:33:31,060
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, nabenta po sila.

4580
05:33:31,500 --> 05:33:33,020
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, there has been monitoring.

4581
05:33:33,180 --> 05:33:37,180
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, I would like to personally thank Secretary for your assistance po.

4582
05:33:37,980 --> 05:33:40,300
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And lastly, maraming salamat.

4583
05:33:40,520 --> 05:33:44,920
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, maybe we could have a Tupad Conference para i-award nyo po yung pinaka-innovative.

4584
05:33:45,620 --> 05:33:49,020
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Hindi, yung natutuwa po kayo so that others could learn po also.

4585
05:33:50,960 --> 05:33:52,440
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And kailangan po talaga.

4586
05:33:53,120 --> 05:33:58,040
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Malaman natin kung ano yung magaganda and that we could emulate them parang ganun po.

4587
05:33:58,820 --> 05:34:02,060
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, magra-round 2 na lang po ako para sa test.

4588
05:34:02,160 --> 05:34:03,780
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Babalik pa ako para sa inyo.

4589
05:34:05,280 --> 05:34:06,920
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, thank you so much po.

4590
05:34:07,180 --> 05:34:09,180
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I would like to commend our Secretary.

4591
05:34:09,440 --> 05:34:11,780
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And of course, he cannot do it naman po by himself.

4592
05:34:11,780 --> 05:34:19,780
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, I would like to publicly thank R.D. Geraldine Tolentino at yung DOLE team namin na napakasipag po talaga.

4593
05:34:21,500 --> 05:34:21,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Panlilio.

4594
05:34:22,000 --> 05:34:22,600
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Yes, sorry.

4595
05:34:22,600 --> 05:34:23,300
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Panlilio.

4596
05:34:23,400 --> 05:34:30,880
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Ma'am Geraldine Panlilio, our Region 3 po na tumulong po sa amin to find innovative ways to do Tupad.

4597
05:34:31,280 --> 05:34:33,600
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And baka naman you might consider also rebranding.

4598
05:34:35,140 --> 05:34:40,940
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Kasi, hindi kasi when people, because of the bad connotation that happened po before,

4599
05:34:41,080 --> 05:34:46,500
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: which I know you have been working very hard for para po mapalitan yung concept nga po ng ayuda.

4600
05:34:47,100 --> 05:34:49,320
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: You might think of rebranding the Tupad.

4601
05:34:49,320 --> 05:34:52,460
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Kasi once people see the Tupad, nagagalit po yung iba.

4602
05:34:52,600 --> 05:34:53,720
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Kasi hindi sila pinili.

4603
05:34:54,720 --> 05:34:55,780
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Hindi, ganun talaga eh.

4604
05:34:55,880 --> 05:34:58,820
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, you may consider that also.

4605
05:34:59,360 --> 05:35:06,560
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, yung sa amin, yung first 1,000 days, yung mga mamis po doon, yun ang mga nanganak from 0 to 6 months pa lamang.

4606
05:35:06,940 --> 05:35:11,840
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, we are, nagmimenos din po kami sa child malnutrition.

4607
05:35:12,380 --> 05:35:13,920
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, marami hong nagtatanong sa akin,

4608
05:35:14,180 --> 05:35:15,800
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Ma'am, bakit hindi kami napili?

4609
05:35:16,120 --> 05:35:17,440
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, sabi ko, mga nakamuna.

4610
05:35:17,440 --> 05:35:20,200
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Hindi, kinuha ko talaga lahat na nanganak.

4611
05:35:20,480 --> 05:35:22,440
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, ngayon, marami naman hong nagpapabunti.

4612
05:35:22,600 --> 05:35:25,960
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, unfortunately, nangyayari din po yun.

4613
05:35:26,920 --> 05:35:31,280
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, thank you so much, Sec, and sa Dole family.

4614
05:35:31,440 --> 05:35:32,200
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Thank you so much.

4615
05:35:32,500 --> 05:35:35,360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And sana po, mas marami pa po tayong matulungan.

4616
05:35:35,880 --> 05:35:38,700
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And tama po kayo, we need to be flexible to the times din po.

4617
05:35:38,780 --> 05:35:40,620
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Kasi ang dami pong nangyayaring disasters.

4618
05:35:41,440 --> 05:35:42,780
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, maraming salamat po.

4619
05:35:42,980 --> 05:35:45,040
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And more power po sa Dole.

4620
05:35:45,580 --> 05:35:47,060
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And babalik po ako for the test.

4621
05:35:47,540 --> 05:35:48,560
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Thank you so much.

4622
05:35:49,440 --> 05:35:51,300
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Thank you, Rep. Anna York.

4623
05:35:52,600 --> 05:35:54,200
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Ngayon, may president na rin tayo.

4624
05:35:54,340 --> 05:35:55,600
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Hindi ko pa nagagawa yun yung ano.

4625
05:35:56,400 --> 05:35:57,300
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Kaya lang, mabuntis muna.

4626
05:35:59,660 --> 05:36:00,660
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Before I continue,

4627
05:36:01,300 --> 05:36:05,520
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Before I continue, I'd like to, the chair wishes to acknowledge Rep. Renee Louise Co.

4628
05:36:06,160 --> 05:36:08,180
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: And we move along to the minority.

4629
05:36:09,400 --> 05:36:12,680
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: I may call on to Rep. Iris Montes.

4630
05:36:13,160 --> 05:36:14,220
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

4631
05:36:14,720 --> 05:36:16,700
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Magandang hapon po sa ating lahat.

4632
05:36:16,920 --> 05:36:21,700
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: The concern raised by Congresswoman Anna York Bondok is actually

4633
05:36:22,600 --> 05:36:23,960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: one of my concerns also.

4634
05:36:24,100 --> 05:36:27,680
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: In fact, last budget hearing, I already raised that to the Dole.

4635
05:36:27,680 --> 05:36:31,780
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And I am glad, ibida ko na lang po sa Region 4A,

4636
05:36:32,280 --> 05:36:35,860
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: meron ng mga pagbabagong ginawa sa TUPAD.

4637
05:36:36,200 --> 05:36:41,180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And like Congresswoman Anna York, meron din po sa amin yung gulayan.

4638
05:36:41,440 --> 05:36:46,680
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: We do that and we are piloting the 31 days po na TUPAD program.

4639
05:36:47,020 --> 05:36:50,720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Hindi lang po 7 days, 10 days, kundi 31 days.

4640
05:36:51,060 --> 05:36:52,180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Para to ensure,

4641
05:36:52,180 --> 05:36:55,560
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na yung inumpisahan, makikita yung resulta at the end.

4642
05:36:55,900 --> 05:37:00,140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And they committed na tatapusin, kahit wala na po silang sweldo,

4643
05:37:00,460 --> 05:37:03,340
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: yung aming mga kababaihan, na ipagpapatuloy po

4644
05:37:03,340 --> 05:37:06,740
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: yung community gardening and planting po nila.

4645
05:37:07,080 --> 05:37:09,500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: We also did coastal cleanup.

4646
05:37:10,100 --> 05:37:16,940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And ngayon po sa Region 4A, meron po silang geo-tagging na po ng TUPAD.

4647
05:37:16,940 --> 05:37:21,420
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So nakikita in real time kung mga nagtatrabaho po ba yung mga,

4648
05:37:22,180 --> 05:37:24,500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: yung sa TUPAD.

4649
05:37:24,660 --> 05:37:28,160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Pero may mga challenges kasi there are areas na wala pong signal.

4650
05:37:28,600 --> 05:37:30,160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So walang geo-tagging.

4651
05:37:30,340 --> 05:37:37,440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: But I commend the DOLE for listening na magkaroon ng pagbabago at reform

4652
05:37:37,440 --> 05:37:39,820
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: sa pag-implement ng TUPAD.

4653
05:37:40,480 --> 05:37:45,700
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Moving on po, yung question ko po talagang ito.

4654
05:37:46,820 --> 05:37:51,580
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: It's often said that our human resource, our people,

4655
05:37:51,580 --> 05:37:54,380
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: is our most important human resource.

4656
05:37:54,760 --> 05:37:59,000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: But today, we are confronted po with a sad news.

4657
05:37:59,280 --> 05:38:01,740
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: A few hours ago, it's all over the news,

4658
05:38:02,280 --> 05:38:07,720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: that our unemployment for July has risen to 6% from 4.9,

4659
05:38:08,020 --> 05:38:12,260
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: translating to about 314 Filipinos who are out of jobs.

4660
05:38:13,960 --> 05:38:17,120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: 3 million Filipinos.

4661
05:38:18,120 --> 05:38:21,120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Our labor force participation rate has also,

4662
05:38:21,580 --> 05:38:25,740
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: has also dipped to 63.6 from 65.

4663
05:38:26,520 --> 05:38:29,540
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And then we have a rising unemployment rate.

4664
05:38:30,240 --> 05:38:35,840
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So we are in a very trying times and challenging times.

4665
05:38:36,020 --> 05:38:36,740
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So I understand.

4666
05:38:37,300 --> 05:38:47,560
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Even the DEPDEP admitted that we have to scale up our efforts

4667
05:38:47,560 --> 05:38:50,960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: to create more jobs and quality jobs at that.

4668
05:38:51,580 --> 05:38:56,280
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: But the DOLE has also said that it will intensify its efforts.

4669
05:38:56,680 --> 05:39:01,400
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Given po, Mr. Secretary, ng budget na meron tayo,

4670
05:39:01,860 --> 05:39:05,980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: paano po natin actually may intensify yung efforts natin?

4671
05:39:06,120 --> 05:39:08,720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Especially po, sa figure na ito po yata,

4672
05:39:09,100 --> 05:39:11,760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: yung mga youth dyan, yung mga bagong graduates,

4673
05:39:12,200 --> 05:39:15,120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: hindi daw nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na makasali

4674
05:39:15,120 --> 05:39:19,300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kasi sa labor force, kasi walang available na trabaho.

4675
05:39:19,300 --> 05:39:20,360
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So how do we plan?

4676
05:39:20,700 --> 05:39:21,520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Given our budget,

4677
05:39:21,520 --> 05:39:24,540
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: how do we scale up employment, especially for the youth?

4678
05:39:25,400 --> 05:39:26,300
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Tama po kayo, Your Honor.

4679
05:39:26,600 --> 05:39:33,800
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Medyo hindi maganda yung lumabas ngayon na labor force survey.

4680
05:39:35,420 --> 05:39:36,060
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Tumaas.

4681
05:39:36,580 --> 05:39:42,220
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Nag-decline yung employment rate from 94% to 94.7% in July.

4682
05:39:42,820 --> 05:39:46,340
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Unemployment rate increased to 6% from 5.3.

4683
05:39:46,340 --> 05:39:51,340
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So yung unemployed persons rose from 551,000 year-on-year

4684
05:39:51,520 --> 05:39:56,100
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: from 2.59 million to 3.14 million.

4685
05:39:56,440 --> 05:39:58,020
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ito po, mga katabi ko, Your Honor,

4686
05:39:58,700 --> 05:40:03,560
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: mamaya siguro para makasagot na si Tesla Secretary,

4687
05:40:03,700 --> 05:40:08,100
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: mapapaliwanag niya yung ginagawa po doon sa Tesla Skills Passport

4688
05:40:08,100 --> 05:40:10,380
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na inulunsad ngayong taon na to.

4689
05:40:10,940 --> 05:40:14,680
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ganon din po yung aming nilagdaan, nakaalaman tungo sa kabuhayan.

4690
05:40:15,000 --> 05:40:16,460
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang tinutukoy ko po rito,

4691
05:40:17,560 --> 05:40:19,660
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sinasabi nyo kasi, bumaba yung amin.

4692
05:40:20,120 --> 05:40:21,160
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Bumaba rin yung kanila.

4693
05:40:21,520 --> 05:40:22,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pero pag kami nagsanib po,

4694
05:40:23,980 --> 05:40:30,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: merong kaukulang risulta siguro na pwedeng asahan yung Dole-Tesda convergence.

4695
05:40:30,420 --> 05:40:34,060
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So papaliwanag po yan ni Secretary Kiko mamaya.

4696
05:40:34,060 --> 05:40:44,300
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: But let me ask Usec Torres to give a more detailed quantified analysis

4697
05:40:44,300 --> 05:40:51,340
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: of what really came out of that LFS, that survey today.

4698
05:40:51,520 --> 05:40:54,860
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Maraming salamat po, Secretary, Your Honor.

4699
05:40:55,360 --> 05:40:57,040
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat.

4700
05:40:57,940 --> 05:41:00,460
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Napaka-importante pong question kasi nga,

4701
05:41:00,780 --> 05:41:03,840
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: we're concerned na tumaas yung ating unemployment rate.

4702
05:41:04,340 --> 05:41:08,960
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: At marami pong causes at unang-una nga nabanggit po nyo yung ating kabataan.

4703
05:41:09,400 --> 05:41:13,560
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Ang nangyari po ay na-increase yung new entrance sa labor market.

4704
05:41:14,260 --> 05:41:17,500
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: And if you recall, yung ating gross domestic product,

4705
05:41:17,500 --> 05:41:20,500
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: nag-grow lang ang economy sa 2.3%.

4706
05:41:21,520 --> 05:41:25,300
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: So dahil mabagal yung growth, mabagal din yung industry,

4707
05:41:25,480 --> 05:41:29,040
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: hindi po nakakatch up yung ating employment.

4708
05:41:29,760 --> 05:41:31,060
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: So bumagal din.

4709
05:41:31,240 --> 05:41:35,540
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Kaya dumami po yung unemployed na youth.

4710
05:41:36,120 --> 05:41:39,600
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Kaya po napaka-importante na tingnan po natin to,

4711
05:41:39,760 --> 05:41:42,540
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: kung sino yung mga youth, saan sila located,

4712
05:41:43,140 --> 05:41:45,300
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: at kung saan malaki yung job losses.

4713
05:41:45,300 --> 05:41:50,600
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Na-identify po namin yung mga job losses kasama dyan po ang agriculture,

4714
05:41:50,860 --> 05:41:51,400
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: manufacturing.

4715
05:41:51,520 --> 05:41:55,960
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Kung saan natin dapat i-enhance yung employment.

4716
05:41:56,540 --> 05:41:59,700
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Saka yung ating mga youth para sa ating, ano,

4717
05:41:59,880 --> 05:42:02,320
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: to find out kung saan sila pwede ma-employ.

4718
05:42:02,900 --> 05:42:06,920
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: I-link po yung ating employment, school to employment transition,

4719
05:42:07,060 --> 05:42:10,260
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: yung po yung in-emphasize nga po ni Secretary Tolentino,

4720
05:42:10,660 --> 05:42:15,100
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: na-enhance po natin yung transition from school to work ng ating mga kabataan.

4721
05:42:15,500 --> 05:42:20,560
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Dumami po kasi yung ating graduates, kaya talagang kailangan natin i-catch up yan.

4722
05:42:20,560 --> 05:42:24,380
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: At ang isa pong ating kailangang i-intensify,

4723
05:42:24,980 --> 05:42:27,020
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: yung ating youth employability program.

4724
05:42:27,260 --> 05:42:34,160
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Nabanggit ko na po earlier, napaka-useful yung ating government internship program,

4725
05:42:34,880 --> 05:42:42,440
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: na kung saan binibigyan natin pagkakataon yung ating mga youth na ma-employ sa ating government service

4726
05:42:42,440 --> 05:42:45,040
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: and to have careers in government service,

4727
05:42:45,040 --> 05:42:49,060
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: yung ating special program for the employment of students,

4728
05:42:49,180 --> 05:42:50,480
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: at saka po yung ating jobs.

4729
05:42:50,560 --> 05:42:54,620
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: At yung ating job start na napaka-famous po sa ating mga mga kabataan.

4730
05:42:55,480 --> 05:43:01,960
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Yung isa po ay yung ating i-intensify yung ating support through our employment facilitation

4731
05:43:01,960 --> 05:43:07,000
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: kasi kailangan silang mag-guide kung saan talaga yung employment and vacancies.

4732
05:43:07,220 --> 05:43:13,580
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Maraming po tayong occupations na hard to fill and emerging at kailangan natin i-guide sila.

4733
05:43:13,580 --> 05:43:20,300
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Dun po sa ating two frameworks, existing frameworks ay Trabajo Para sa Bayan Plan,

4734
05:43:20,560 --> 05:43:21,980
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: and labor and employment plan.

4735
05:43:22,060 --> 05:43:30,580
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Naka-identify po tayo ng mga key growth centers nationwide at kung saan malaki yung employment

4736
05:43:30,580 --> 05:43:38,440
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: at dun po natin kailangan i-guide from education, our one education which is DepEd, TESDA, and CHED

4737
05:43:38,440 --> 05:43:41,840
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: to work together to guide them for employment.

4738
05:43:41,840 --> 05:43:44,220
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: So yun po yung ating ginagawa sa DOLE.

4739
05:43:44,640 --> 05:43:46,840
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Si Sec. Tolentino po will...

4740
05:43:47,480 --> 05:43:49,840
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Ay, ay, ay, Sec. Benitez will...

4741
05:43:50,560 --> 05:43:57,160
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Give you details on kailangan po rin natin yung upskilling and reskilling and also our internship apprenticeship program.

4742
05:43:58,460 --> 05:43:58,920
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Sige po.

4743
05:43:59,920 --> 05:44:06,380
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Siguro unahin ko na lang that I will echo you Sec. Torres' position or statement

4744
05:44:06,380 --> 05:44:13,500
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: that the slowdown in the macroeconomic of the country has also made itself felt in the employment figures.

4745
05:44:13,740 --> 05:44:18,620
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: And so what it really will require is to intensify two things.

4746
05:44:18,840 --> 05:44:20,500
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Actually three things na na-mention na rin.

4747
05:44:20,560 --> 05:44:27,860
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The first is obviously matching the job openings to the people that might be looking for a job.

4748
05:44:27,860 --> 05:44:37,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Sa area-based demand-driven po namin, malinaw po na meron pong more job openings, no?

4749
05:44:38,320 --> 05:44:47,260
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: In fact, then we have unemployed Filipinos, which really suggests that the job openings that DOLE itself actually puts together

4750
05:44:47,260 --> 05:44:50,140
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: in the peso, in the public employment service offices,

4751
05:44:50,560 --> 05:44:55,440
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: that information doesn't reach the right people who might be the right fit for those jobs.

4752
05:44:55,840 --> 05:45:00,140
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So anything that we can do to improve that and intensify

4753
05:45:00,140 --> 05:45:07,440
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: that link, the faster we can address unemployment, at least in terms of employment per se.

4754
05:45:07,820 --> 05:45:17,500
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The second is, of course, nabanggit rin ni Yusek Torres, is the job skills mismatching with regards to DepEd, TESDA, and CHED

4755
05:45:17,500 --> 05:45:24,560
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to make sure that our youth actually have the right skills for the kind of jobs that are available to them.

4756
05:45:24,560 --> 05:45:36,360
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, nandyan nga ang JobStart, meron pong fieldjobs.net, at ang nabanggit po ni Secretary Tolentino kanina is that TESDA put together the skills passport

4757
05:45:36,360 --> 05:45:48,480
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: precisely to provide a digital platform to help create these linkages and address information asymmetry para at least hindi po information ang kulang.

4758
05:45:48,480 --> 05:45:53,360
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So that JobStart, fieldjobs.net, and so on.

4759
05:45:53,720 --> 05:45:54,480
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Our...

4760
05:45:54,560 --> 05:46:02,560
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: At the least, TVET graduates can have access online in real time to the job openings that are available.

4761
05:46:03,500 --> 05:46:10,900
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: These are all being designed to make sure that our supply and our demand meet together.

4762
05:46:10,900 --> 05:46:23,100
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, ang ano na lang dyan, ma'am, is how effectively, how intensively, no, both Dole and TESDA can in fact roll out this program with the kind of urgency that we need.

4763
05:46:23,720 --> 05:46:24,340
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Sana naman po.

4764
05:46:24,560 --> 05:46:34,680
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The other piece that should be clear is that we need to make sure that demand side is commensurate.

4765
05:46:34,920 --> 05:46:43,100
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, Bureau of Investment naman po yan because we need to make sure that industry opens up and has as much job openings that are of decent work

4766
05:46:43,100 --> 05:46:54,540
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and of the decent scale of quality of salaries and so on, that again, bahagi po yan sa macroeconomic slowdown ng...

4767
05:46:54,540 --> 05:46:55,260
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: ng country.

4768
05:46:55,740 --> 05:47:04,660
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, kanina, nagtanong po si kong Robert tungkol po sa area-based demand-driven approach ng prioritization ng TESDA.

4769
05:47:05,240 --> 05:47:15,880
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: No, what we try to do is to prioritize at least government funds to those sectors that have the most demand or most emerging job openings.

4770
05:47:15,880 --> 05:47:23,880
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, nandyan po, kagaya ng kanina pang pinag-uusapan ng ICT, ang AI, nandyan po ang actually maritime tourism and services.

4771
05:47:24,540 --> 05:47:25,560
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: No, industry.

4772
05:47:26,140 --> 05:47:29,940
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Nandyan po ang semiconductors and advanced manufacturing.

4773
05:47:30,380 --> 05:47:37,240
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: All of these are sectors that are being prioritized because we know that the jobs are actually available

4774
05:47:37,240 --> 05:47:43,600
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and we need to make sure that our workforce is appropriately skilled for the jobs that actually exist.

4775
05:47:45,690 --> 05:47:46,910
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po.

4776
05:47:47,450 --> 05:47:54,410
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: A while ago, I was browsing through the website of the DBM and isa po doon sa nakita ko,

4777
05:47:54,410 --> 05:47:55,770
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: yung 2027.

4778
05:47:55,790 --> 05:47:57,670
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: budget priorities nila.

4779
05:47:57,950 --> 05:48:00,550
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Number one pa rin is human capital development.

4780
05:48:01,350 --> 05:48:17,090
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And nakalagay po doon, foster the dynamic, inclusive, and responsive labor market while addressing digital upskilling and reskilling initiatives under the Trabajo para sa Bayan Plan 2025-2034.

4781
05:48:17,270 --> 05:48:21,030
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Exactly po, magkano ang ibinigay ng DBM po sa inyo for this?

4782
05:48:24,610 --> 05:48:27,490
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: For this year po, 3 million pesos.

4783
05:48:27,610 --> 05:48:36,930
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: So, ito po yung budget po para to implement the Trabajo para sa Bayan Plan.

4784
05:48:37,270 --> 05:48:44,470
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Yung development po ng plan is it's a joint venture of DOL, DTI, and DepDev.

4785
05:48:44,970 --> 05:48:49,090
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: At ngayon po ay we're rolling out the plan together with DepDev.

4786
05:48:49,430 --> 05:48:53,490
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: But for this year, we receive 3 million pesos.

4787
05:48:55,700 --> 05:48:56,720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po.

4788
05:48:56,720 --> 05:48:58,180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kaya ako po naitanong yan.

4789
05:48:58,180 --> 05:49:01,260
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kasi hindi ko na po alam kung maniniwala ba ako dito.

4790
05:49:01,700 --> 05:49:07,440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kasi nakalagay din dito sa human capital development yung aral ng DepEd.

4791
05:49:07,540 --> 05:49:09,440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Pero wala din pong pondo yung aral.

4792
05:49:09,680 --> 05:49:14,100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, I think this is a concern that I have to raise with DBM.

4793
05:49:14,460 --> 05:49:20,180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Gusto ko lang pong malaman sa inyo first hand kung talaga bang seryoso po ito kaya ako po naitanong.

4794
05:49:21,140 --> 05:49:25,240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Anyway po, I still have a lot of questions to ask.

4795
05:49:25,240 --> 05:49:27,420
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Pero hindi ko na po itatanong.

4796
05:49:27,420 --> 05:49:34,240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Let me just siguro po manifest that naiintindihan ko po ang kalagayan natin.

4797
05:49:34,800 --> 05:49:39,780
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Ang challenge na meron sa atin sa panahon ngayon lalo po sa inyo sa DOLE at sa TESDA.

4798
05:49:40,620 --> 05:49:44,420
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kaya po, nandiyan dyan po yung unemployment na tumataas.

4799
05:49:45,420 --> 05:49:48,180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Couple that, add to that yung global uncertainties.

4800
05:49:48,900 --> 05:49:53,140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And of course, the urgent need to protect our workers both here and abroad.

4801
05:49:53,140 --> 05:49:56,180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kaya kami po sa kababaihan, kabalikatan.

4802
05:49:56,180 --> 05:50:04,180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Para sa kapakanan at kaunlaran ng bayan or 4K, ay nag-i-extend po sa inyo ng wholehearted support.

4803
05:50:05,260 --> 05:50:14,360
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Para maipagpatuloy po ninyo ang vital mission ninyo to safeguard labor rights and creating opportunities for our people.

4804
05:50:14,740 --> 05:50:17,880
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Especially po sa ating mga kababaihan.

4805
05:50:18,660 --> 05:50:25,180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, lalo na po ngayon, Mr. Chair, tapusin ko na lamang po itong Mexico Manifestation.

4806
05:50:25,180 --> 05:50:34,580
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: At the same time, yung aming pong support comes with it a call that every peso entrusted to DOLE must be spent wisely, transparently, and strategically.

4807
05:50:35,240 --> 05:50:40,920
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: The Filipino workforce is our nation's greatest asset and our most valuable export.

4808
05:50:41,360 --> 05:50:50,980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kaya tinihiling po natin sa DOLE na lalo pang pagbutihin ang kanilang mga programa upang ang ating mga manggagawa ay maging mas handa,

4809
05:50:50,980 --> 05:50:54,300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: mas protectado, at maging mas competitive po.

4810
05:50:55,180 --> 05:50:56,940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Sa harap ng pandaigdigang hamon.

4811
05:50:57,400 --> 05:51:02,940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: In these difficult times, we stand with DOLE, but we also challenge it to do better, to rise higher,

4812
05:51:03,160 --> 05:51:11,560
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: and to ensure that the 2027 budget truly translates into jobs, dignity, and hope for millions of Filipino workers.

4813
05:51:11,740 --> 05:51:18,580
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair. Maraming salamat po, Secretary Tolentino, Secretary Benitez, and to the whole DOLE family.

4814
05:51:18,580 --> 05:51:22,260
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Thank you very much, Rep. Iris Montes.

4815
05:51:23,360 --> 05:51:38,920
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: We go back to the majority. Of course, before I call the majority, I'd like to, the Chair wishes to acknowledge the good-looking gentleman to my left from Marikina, Rep. Miro Quimbo.

4816
05:51:39,420 --> 05:51:40,000
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Move to approve.

4817
05:51:41,840 --> 05:51:48,460
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Now, we go to the majority, of course, our good friend, Representative Salvador Pleyto.

4818
05:51:48,940 --> 05:51:50,260
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Your acknowledge, sir. Go ahead.

4819
05:51:50,260 --> 05:51:54,400
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Thank you, Mr. Chair, sa ating mga ka-sekretary.

4820
05:51:55,180 --> 05:51:58,020
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Kasama sa DOLE family.

4821
05:51:58,800 --> 05:52:02,060
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Ang ganda nga po po, Secretary Tol.

4822
05:52:03,160 --> 05:52:06,280
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Tawag ko si Secretary Tol, Secretary Kiko.

4823
05:52:08,120 --> 05:52:19,340
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Mr. Chair, may I make a brief manifestation regarding the strict enforcement of our occupational safety and health standards,

4824
05:52:19,340 --> 05:52:22,040
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: being a technical man, being an engineer.

4825
05:52:22,580 --> 05:52:24,600
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Particularly contained in the DOLE.

4826
05:52:25,180 --> 05:52:29,540
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Department Order No. 13, Series of 1998.

4827
05:52:29,880 --> 05:52:34,760
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Naalala mo, Secretary Tol, you were then Mayor of Kapanon.

4828
05:52:35,380 --> 05:52:39,080
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: I was the Regional Director of Saudi Tagalog during that time.

4829
05:52:39,940 --> 05:52:44,760
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Nung in-issue tong Department Order, pinaresearch ko, hindi na babago po ito eh.

4830
05:52:46,340 --> 05:52:47,620
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: 28 years ago.

4831
05:52:47,620 --> 05:52:54,620
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: At sana, there are instances that work-related accidents happen in some ongoing...

4832
05:52:55,180 --> 05:53:01,340
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: construction works, which I think deserve our serious attention, Secretary.

4833
05:53:01,340 --> 05:53:11,340
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Mr. Chair, I take note on the observation of the Good Secretary that DOLE must undertake thorough inspection

4834
05:53:11,340 --> 05:53:16,460
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: to ensure the compliance to this occupational safety and health standards.

4835
05:53:16,460 --> 05:53:23,180
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: So mga aksidente na nangyayari ito pag ikot yung Secretary dahil sa hindi lang pag-comply sa occupational safety

4836
05:53:23,180 --> 05:53:24,820
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: saka yung health standards.

4837
05:53:25,180 --> 05:53:26,000
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Karaming aksidente.

4838
05:53:26,440 --> 05:53:28,320
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Sa katunayan, may dala akong records dito.

4839
05:53:28,520 --> 05:53:36,620
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Mga aksidente nangyayari, sayang mga buhay na mga nawala at saka yung mga aksidente na hindi na pwedeng magtrabaho ngayon.

4840
05:53:37,600 --> 05:53:41,200
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Mr. Chair, do you have enough personnel to undertake these inspections?

4841
05:53:41,980 --> 05:53:42,860
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

4842
05:53:43,420 --> 05:53:48,360
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Amin po natin, Your Honor, kagaya po na nabanggit ko kanina, talagang kulang.

4843
05:53:48,980 --> 05:53:54,860
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yung 1,210 na pangangailangan ng Labor Inspectorate ay alos 700.

4844
05:53:55,180 --> 05:54:01,840
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: 700 pa lang na pupunuan dahil ito po ay umi-examine pa, pumukuhan na para mag-qualify.

4845
05:54:02,020 --> 05:54:13,400
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pero kahit mapuno po yung 1,210, hindi po sapat na tugunan, lalong-lalo na sa Region 3 na magkaroon ng inspeksyon.

4846
05:54:13,500 --> 05:54:21,120
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Sa Region 3 po, sinabi ko kanina na merong 7,000 establishments na dapat inspeksyonin ng 38 na katao.

4847
05:54:21,520 --> 05:54:22,880
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Ang hili-city lang yata po yun?

4848
05:54:22,880 --> 05:54:24,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi po, sa buong Region 3 na po yun.

4849
05:54:25,180 --> 05:54:32,360
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Oo po. Kasama po kasi, Your Honor, ang government projects, hindi lamang private institutions.

4850
05:54:32,680 --> 05:54:35,080
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: 37 lang yata yung inspectorate team nyo doon eh.

4851
05:54:35,120 --> 05:54:39,120
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kulang na nga na siya. Dati 38 to siguro nag-retire na, Your Honor.

4852
05:54:40,000 --> 05:54:41,320
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So kulang po talaga.

4853
05:54:42,360 --> 05:54:46,840
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Nung araw po, Your Honor, meron tinatawag na social inspectors.

4854
05:54:47,200 --> 05:54:54,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yung social inspectors po, ito yung galing sa mga private NGOs na binibigyan ng kaunting,

4855
05:54:55,180 --> 05:54:56,520
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ng kaunting poder.

4856
05:54:56,640 --> 05:55:24,520
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pero sa pananaw ko po ngayon, baka po bawal kasi yung inspector, yung katungkulan na mag-inspeksyon ayon sa Article 128, yung visitorial power ay delegated po ng batas sa akin. Hindi na po pwedeng i-delegate pa uli yun sa dalawang suson. Delegated powers can no longer be delegated. So pwede po sila mag-observe kung tama po yung ginagawa ng mga

4857
05:55:24,520 --> 05:55:25,120
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: inspectors.

4858
05:55:25,180 --> 05:55:27,660
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: tama po kayo, kulang yung aming

4859
05:55:27,660 --> 05:55:28,060
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: inspector.

4860
05:55:30,760 --> 05:55:32,600
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Secretary.

4861
05:55:34,480 --> 05:55:34,720

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: do you need to

4863
05:55:37,140 --> 05:55:39,520
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: intend to add or

4864
05:55:39,520 --> 05:55:41,400
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: employ technical personnel,

4865
05:55:41,960 --> 05:55:43,540
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: do you have enough budget for this,

4866
05:55:43,540 --> 05:55:45,490
Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Secretary?

4867
05:55:45,490 --> 05:55:47,600
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Wala po talaga,

06:07:33,360 --> 06:07:35,120
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Mr. Chair, paano po minimesure

5220
06:07:35,120 --> 06:07:37,660
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng TESDA yung

5221
06:07:37,660 --> 06:07:39,880
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: success ng project

5222
06:07:39,880 --> 06:07:41,980
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: UNLAD? Na-upskill

5223
06:07:41,980 --> 06:07:42,780
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: yung worker

5224
06:07:42,780 --> 06:07:45,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and nag-benefit from a program?

5225
06:07:46,120 --> 06:07:46,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Mr. Chair.

5226
06:07:47,740 --> 06:07:49,720
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Mr. Chair, actually, it's really

5227
06:07:49,720 --> 06:07:52,080
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: dependent primarily on the employability

5228
06:07:52,080 --> 06:07:53,740
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: but most of the IBPAP

5229
06:07:53,740 --> 06:07:55,500
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: request is actually for upskilling.

5230
06:07:56,160 --> 06:07:57,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, it really comes from the design

5231
06:07:57,820 --> 06:07:58,740
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: of the micro-credentials.

5232
06:07:59,000 --> 06:08:03,600
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, because it's done in conjunction

5233
06:08:03,600 --> 06:08:04,740
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: with IBPAP and

5234
06:08:04,740 --> 06:08:06,480
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: its needs,

5235
06:08:07,200 --> 06:08:09,540
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: they define for us

5236
06:08:09,540 --> 06:08:11,540
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: what kind of upskilling

5237
06:08:11,540 --> 06:08:13,640
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: their employees need in order to

5238
06:08:13,640 --> 06:08:15,580
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: make sure that they are not disrupted by

5239
06:08:15,580 --> 06:08:16,600
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: the AI that's coming.

5240
06:08:17,240 --> 06:08:18,700
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, yun ho ang pinaka

5241
06:08:18,700 --> 06:08:21,160
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: at this point, ang pinaka

5242
06:08:21,160 --> 06:08:23,900
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: measure namin.

5243
06:08:24,160 --> 06:08:25,500
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, it's the design of the

5244
06:08:25,500 --> 06:08:27,680
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: training plan that's done

5245
06:08:27,680 --> 06:08:28,600
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: in conjunction with

5246
06:08:29,000 --> 06:08:30,940
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: IBPAP for enterprise-based

5247
06:08:30,940 --> 06:08:33,360
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: education. For the micro-credentials

5248
06:08:33,360 --> 06:08:34,360
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: naman, we also

5249
06:08:34,360 --> 06:08:37,000
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: fund it from LEAP

5250
06:08:37,000 --> 06:08:38,860
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: which is the other side of the

5251
06:08:38,860 --> 06:08:41,060
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: TESDA program and that

5252
06:08:41,060 --> 06:08:42,960
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: is done through the

5253
06:08:42,960 --> 06:08:44,580
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: employment rates

5254
06:08:44,580 --> 06:08:46,740
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: which tend to be quite high

5255
06:08:46,740 --> 06:08:48,900
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and regardless of whether

5256
06:08:48,900 --> 06:08:51,160
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: or not the trainees are actually entering

5257
06:08:51,160 --> 06:08:52,860
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: a BPO or

5258
06:08:52,860 --> 06:08:54,340
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: entering a

5259
06:08:54,340 --> 06:08:56,900

06:08:56,900 --> 06:08:58,800
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: job, the very training,

5261
06:08:59,000 --> 06:09:00,540

5262
06:09:00,540 --> 06:09:02,420

06:14:37,510 --> 06:14:38,230
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: remains to be

5428
06:14:38,230 --> 06:14:39,770
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: operational out of

5429
06:14:39,770 --> 06:14:42,110
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: 5,000 individual

5430
06:14:42,110 --> 06:14:44,070
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: projects. Pagdating

5431
06:14:44,070 --> 06:14:46,270
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: naman po sa mga group projects,

5432
06:14:46,790 --> 06:14:48,190
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: based din sa impact

5433
06:14:48,190 --> 06:14:49,970
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: evaluation, mas mataas

5434
06:14:50,490 --> 06:14:51,990
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: po yung success rate

5435
06:14:51,990 --> 06:14:53,610
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: natin. So, nasa

5436
06:14:53,610 --> 06:14:55,650
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: more than 83%.

5437
06:14:55,650 --> 06:14:57,870
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: And this is true with

5438
06:14:57,870 --> 06:14:59,310
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: the previous years.

5439
06:15:00,000 --> 06:15:19,120
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: With the previous year's records. So kaya ang ginagawa po natin ngayon, we encourage yung mga group projects kasi ito yung nakita sa impact evaluation na may chance na mas maging successful and continue to be operational.

5440
06:15:19,120 --> 06:15:41,480
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: But we understand that we don't stop providing them with initial support. Kaya tuloy-tuloy din ho yung ating technical assistance sa kanila, monitoring, and in convergence with other departments like DOST, DTI, and our TESDA, sinusuportahan mo natin sila kung ano yung need nila.

5441
06:15:42,000 --> 06:15:48,480
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: The number may not be that high. Kaya nakikita natin na we should not really be...

5442
06:15:49,120 --> 06:15:54,460
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: leaving it to them alone. So tuloy-tuloy po yung supportan natin.

5443
06:15:54,460 --> 06:16:06,160
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: And we're using this result of the impact evaluation for our projects in 2026 and the succeeding years.

5444
06:16:06,160 --> 06:16:19,080
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: So kaya yung aming mga regional offices, instead of focusing on individual livelihood projects, ilang percent? I think it's 30% of this project.

5445
06:16:19,120 --> 06:16:29,860
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: We devote to group projects. Since we have introduced this last year, unuunti-unti po namin nataasan yung group.

5446
06:16:30,420 --> 06:16:39,800
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: And then we're also implementing the graduation approach na darating yung time, ibig sabihin po na medyo self-sufficient na sila.

5447
06:16:39,800 --> 06:16:48,800
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: But until such time that happens, we will not be leaving them behind. So yung hand-holding will continue po in collaboration with other partner agencies.

5448
06:16:49,120 --> 06:16:52,220
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: under the convergence program on livelihood.

5449
06:16:52,220 --> 06:16:59,520
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Kasi Mr. Chair, kasi may programang kayo doon na namimigay kayo ng mga bangka.

5450
06:16:59,520 --> 06:17:10,080
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: So individual namimigay kayo. So may proposal tayo na kung pupwede siguro kasi yung malilit lang kasi yun.

5451
06:17:10,080 --> 06:17:18,300
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Diyan lang yan sa malapit lang. So sa ngayon kasi mas kailangan natin yung doon na kasi ang isda natin.

5452
06:17:18,440 --> 06:17:19,100
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Nasa ano na?

5453
06:17:19,120 --> 06:17:29,340
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Nasa deep sea na eh. So siguro baka pwede nga yung mga malalaki naman at saka by, sabihin nyo nga, by group, by association po.

5454
06:17:29,420 --> 06:17:38,080
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Lalo yung mga PCR po, association. Yung kasi ang medyo mas maganda na mabigyan kaysa yung individual doon natin makikita.

5455
06:17:38,640 --> 06:17:47,160
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Kasi doon po sa amin, alam nyo, marami kaming mga PCR po, farmers, alam nyo naman yung mga informal workers natin,

5456
06:17:47,160 --> 06:17:49,100
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: vulnerable sa paggawalan ng kita.

5457
06:17:49,120 --> 06:17:57,520
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: So sa tuwing may bagyo, masamang panahon, talagang wala eh. Medyo bumabalik sa zero.

5458
06:17:58,380 --> 06:18:05,960
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Kaya yan po, suggestion lang natin. So halos naman na itanong na lahat yung mga gusto ko sanang itanong.

5459
06:18:06,920 --> 06:18:17,820
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: So Mr. Chair, kunin ko na rin pong pagkakataon na ito upang pasalamatan ang ating butihing sekretary, Francis Tolentino, para sa kanyang mahusay na leadership sa DOLE.

5460
06:18:17,820 --> 06:18:32,160
Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez: Nakikita naman po natin ang mga reforma at inisiyatibo kanyang ginagawa para mapabuti ang ating mga manggagawa kahit ilang buwan pa lang siyang nakaupo bilang kinatawan ng Doley.

5461
06:18:32,160 --> 06:18:42,280

5502
06:20:03,360 --> 06:20:05,380

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: I haven't spoken to chairperson

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: of our Secretary

5732
06:27:43,210 --> 06:27:45,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Kiko Benitez

5733
06:27:45,210 --> 06:27:47,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: that's why with Brogy Abrogar

5734
06:27:47,210 --> 06:27:49,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: let him come in

06:27:49,210 --> 06:27:51,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: we have for TESDA

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: and then we give toolkits

5739
06:27:57,210 --> 06:27:59,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: see, with toolkits

5740
06:27:59,210 --> 06:28:01,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: so therefore

5741
06:28:01,210 --> 06:28:03,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: when I talk to them Secretary

5742
06:28:03,210 --> 06:28:05,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: I warn them, this is

5743
06:28:05,210 --> 06:28:07,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: usufruct only

5744
06:28:07,210 --> 06:28:09,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: this is not given to you

5745
06:28:09,210 --> 06:28:11,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: in 100% ownership

5746
06:28:11,210 --> 06:28:13,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: because you say, not for sale

5747
06:28:13,210 --> 06:28:15,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: malaki doon, not for sale

5748
06:28:15,210 --> 06:28:17,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: and so therefore

5749
06:28:17,210 --> 06:28:19,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: with that Mr. Chairman

5750
06:28:19,210 --> 06:28:21,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: not for sale, I told them

5751
06:28:21,210 --> 06:28:23,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: if you sell TESDA toolkits

5752
06:28:23,210 --> 06:28:25,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: you go to jail

5753
06:28:25,210 --> 06:28:27,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: so far nobody has come out with Lazada

5754
06:28:27,210 --> 06:28:29,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: that they are selling

5755
06:28:29,210 --> 06:28:31,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: then also TWSP Mr. Chairman

5756
06:28:31,210 --> 06:28:33,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: TWSP is also the training

5757
06:28:33,210 --> 06:28:35,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: for work scholarship program

5758
06:28:35,210 --> 06:28:37,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: we have also given

5759
06:28:37,210 --> 06:28:39,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: to our, both of these

5760
06:28:39,210 --> 06:28:41,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: they give honorarium

5761
06:28:41,210 --> 06:28:43,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: of course step my toolkits

5762
06:28:43,210 --> 06:28:45,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: and then we have the

5763
06:28:45,210 --> 06:28:47,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: enterprise based education and training

5764
06:28:47,210 --> 06:28:49,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: the EBET, we are doing that also

5765
06:28:49,210 --> 06:28:51,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: with our regional director

5766
06:28:51,210 --> 06:28:53,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: sana ba si Brogy?

5767
06:28:53,210 --> 06:28:55,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: so all of this

5768
06:28:55,210 --> 06:28:57,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: would show Mr. Chairman

5769
06:28:57,210 --> 06:28:59,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: that the DOLE

5770
06:28:59,210 --> 06:29:01,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: and the TESDA

5771
06:29:01,210 --> 06:29:03,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: are present really in my district

5772
06:29:03,210 --> 06:29:05,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: and that is why

5773
06:29:05,210 --> 06:29:07,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: as the representative

5774
06:29:07,210 --> 06:29:09,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: of the second district

5775
06:29:09,210 --> 06:29:11,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: where all of these programs

5776
06:29:11,210 --> 06:29:13,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: have been given to the serving beneficiaries

5777
06:29:13,210 --> 06:29:15,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: I am therefore constrained

5778
06:29:15,210 --> 06:29:17,210
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: to move

5779
06:29:17,210 --> 06:29:21,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: in the proper time

5780
06:29:21,510 --> 06:29:23,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: to move Mr. Chairman

5781
06:29:23,510 --> 06:29:25,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: that we not only approve

5782
06:29:25,510 --> 06:29:27,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: the budget given

5783
06:29:27,510 --> 06:29:29,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: by the national expenditure program

5784
06:29:29,510 --> 06:29:31,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: for the DOLE

5785
06:29:31,510 --> 06:29:33,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: and also for TESDA

5786
06:29:33,510 --> 06:29:35,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: but then to increase

5787
06:29:35,510 --> 06:29:37,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: their budget

5788
06:29:37,510 --> 06:29:39,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: by having them submit

5789
06:29:39,510 --> 06:29:41,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: their priority

5790
06:29:41,510 --> 06:29:43,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: so kindly submit

5791
06:29:43,510 --> 06:29:45,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: the secretary

5792
06:29:45,510 --> 06:29:47,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: can you submit

5793
06:29:47,510 --> 06:29:49,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: you will reduce

5794
06:29:49,510 --> 06:29:51,510
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: based on my records here

5795
06:29:51,510 --> 06:29:52,760
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: you will reduce

5796
06:29:52,760 --> 06:29:53,820
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: by a total of

5797
06:29:53,820 --> 06:29:55,720
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: 9 billion

5798
06:29:55,720 --> 06:29:58,200
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: from 2026 level correct?

5799
06:29:58,200 --> 06:29:59,600
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: 9 billion

5800
06:29:59,600 --> 06:30:08,600
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: TESDA, you were reduced by a total of 5 billion, you see?

5801
06:30:08,960 --> 06:30:11,980
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: You had before 20, 26, now 20 only.

5802
06:30:12,620 --> 06:30:14,620
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So please give us a priority.

5803
06:30:14,620 --> 06:30:18,200
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: I was talking to our chairperson, Mika Swansing,

5804
06:30:18,920 --> 06:30:23,780
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: and here she is telling us that we ask the agencies to submit the priority,

5805
06:30:24,140 --> 06:30:26,480
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: from the top priority, then down,

5806
06:30:26,580 --> 06:30:29,700
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: so that we may not be able to give everything, Mr. Chairman,

5807
06:30:30,160 --> 06:30:35,480
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: but then the priority, the first priorities, we hope will be given to you.

5808
06:30:35,860 --> 06:30:39,540
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So with that, with our chairman, Romel Angara, leading the charge,

5809
06:30:39,920 --> 06:30:44,160
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: for the increase of your budget, I am confident that in the proper time,

5810
06:30:44,780 --> 06:30:47,500
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: your budgets will be augmented and increased.

5811
06:30:47,920 --> 06:30:55,340
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: So again, Mr. Chairman, our support to the budget and augmentation of DoLE and also TESDA.

5812
06:30:55,620 --> 06:30:57,920
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Thank you very much, Chairman, for allowing me.

5813
06:31:00,930 --> 06:31:02,030
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Thank you very much.

5814
06:31:02,050 --> 06:31:03,870
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Thank you very much, Representative Rufus Rodriguez.

5815
06:31:04,190 --> 06:31:08,990
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: From what you are saying, I can see in the background that Congressman Leo Rodriguez is very angry.

5816
06:31:09,450 --> 06:31:13,970
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Because if there is an increase, he may give his livelihoods to the Tanduanes.

5817
06:31:14,010 --> 06:31:14,610
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Yes, that's right.

5818
06:31:14,950 --> 06:31:23,010
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: So next on, moving along, from the majority again, Representative Jan Chan.

5819
06:31:27,210 --> 06:31:31,710
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and Mr. Secretary, Director General, and the DoLE family.

5820
06:31:31,710 --> 06:31:31,790
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman.

5821
06:31:31,790 --> 06:31:31,810
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and Mr. Secretary, Director General, and the DoLE family.

5822
06:31:32,430 --> 06:31:34,750
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So actually, I'm here today to help this...

5823
06:31:34,750 --> 06:31:35,450
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and Mr. Secretary, Director General, and the DoLE family.

5824
06:31:35,470 --> 06:31:43,270
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: To help this committee give the department and the whole DoLE family what it needs to effectively perform its mandate under the labor code.

5825
06:31:44,050 --> 06:31:50,650
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, my first question is really about the visitorial and enforcement powers of the DoLE.

5826
06:31:51,330 --> 06:32:05,270
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Because as a labor law practitioner before entering politics, I saw that there are some cases wherein if we just fully fund or support or give enough funding for the enforcement power of the DoLE,

5827
06:32:05,970 --> 06:32:07,630
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: may mga cases po sana na

5828
06:32:07,830 --> 06:32:10,410
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: natulungan po talaga natin fully yung mga laborers.

5829
06:32:10,590 --> 06:32:12,110
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: And one of those cases is

5830
06:32:12,110 --> 06:32:13,650
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: the Manggagawa sa Komunikasyon ng Pilipinas

5831
06:32:13,650 --> 06:32:17,690
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: versus PLDT,

5832
06:32:17,690 --> 06:32:20,410
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: which was decided in February 2024.

5833
06:32:21,010 --> 06:32:30,430
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, what happened in 2016 was the Department of Labor and Employment inspected the company pursuant to its Article 128 power.

5834
06:32:30,930 --> 06:32:31,330
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: And in January 2018, the Secretary of Labor ordered the regularization of the Inspector General's license,

5835
06:32:31,330 --> 06:32:36,970
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: And in January 2018, the Secretary of Labor ordered the regularization of the contracted

5836
06:32:36,970 --> 06:32:37,970
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: workers.

5837
06:32:37,970 --> 06:32:42,310
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So there was about 7,344 of them on the final count.

5838
06:32:42,310 --> 06:32:47,690
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: And I think this was one of the largest regularizations that happened in our country.

5839
06:32:47,690 --> 06:32:56,030
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So the court set aside some of the categories.

5840
06:32:56,030 --> 06:33:01,910
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So they regularized some, but they also set aside some of the categories such as janitorial,

5841
06:33:01,910 --> 06:33:05,930
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: IT, back office, call centers, and the like.

5842
06:33:05,930 --> 06:33:10,650
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So these were thousands of workers, not because the DOLE was wrong, but because the labor

5843
06:33:10,650 --> 06:33:17,130
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: law compliance officers had interviewed, in the court's words, not more than 1,000 individuals

5844
06:33:17,130 --> 06:33:21,130
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: and applied the findings to 7,344.

5845
06:33:21,130 --> 06:33:25,970
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So the court wrote that conclusions based on sampling or probability in its decision

5846
06:33:25,970 --> 06:33:29,610
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: should not be considered substantial evidence.

5847
06:33:29,610 --> 06:33:35,250
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So my question is, today, how many inspectors are actually on paper, and how many of the

5848
06:33:35,250 --> 06:33:39,470
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: inspectors are actually on the field deployed and doing their inspection powers?

5849
06:33:39,470 --> 06:33:48,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: A while ago, Your Honor, we were really confronted with that continuing challenge of lack of

5850
06:33:48,920 --> 06:33:52,960
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: manpower insofar as the labor inspectorate is concerned.

5851
06:33:52,960 --> 06:33:56,160
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yung inabutan ko, dapat daw ay 1,210

5852
06:33:56,160 --> 06:33:57,160
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ang sa buong Pilipinas,

5853
06:33:57,160 --> 06:34:02,400
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: subalit sa ngayon ay wala pang 700.

5854
06:34:02,400 --> 06:34:09,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Dumaan sila sa isang masusing eksaminasyon, subalit kahit

5855
06:34:09,820 --> 06:34:15,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: mabuo yung 1,210, that would not be sufficient

5856
06:34:15,920 --> 06:34:16,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to address that continuing concern.

5857
06:34:16,920 --> 06:34:25,800
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kulang talaga. Hindi kaya, hindi lamang sa mga pribadong establishments

5858
06:34:25,800 --> 06:34:26,800
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: kundi pati government projects.

5859
06:34:27,160 --> 06:34:28,320
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang nag-i-inspect din po noon, DOLE.

5860
06:34:28,320 --> 06:34:30,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So hindi talaga kayang punuan o

5861
06:34:30,940 --> 06:34:32,380
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So hindi talaga kayang

5862
06:34:32,380 --> 06:34:38,320
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: punuan o gampanan. So as to the details of, I agree with you,

5863
06:34:38,320 --> 06:34:41,660
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: yung kaso sigurong iyon ay kung nagkaroon ng tama at

5864
06:34:41,660 --> 06:34:45,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: appropriate labor inspection,

5865
06:34:45,200 --> 06:34:46,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Article 128

5866
06:34:46,200 --> 06:34:47,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ay siguro

5867
06:34:47,200 --> 06:34:48,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: may

5868
06:34:48,200 --> 06:34:49,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sapat na

5869
06:34:51,200 --> 06:34:52,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: compliance

5870
06:34:52,200 --> 06:34:53,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: kasi na-correct

5871
06:34:53,200 --> 06:34:54,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: naman po iyan eh.

5872
06:34:54,200 --> 06:34:55,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: But as to the

5873
06:34:55,200 --> 06:34:56,200
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: other details,

5874
06:34:56,200 --> 06:34:57,000
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: is BLE here

5875
06:34:57,000 --> 06:34:57,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: o sino

5876
06:34:57,980 --> 06:34:58,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sasagot?

5877
06:34:58,980 --> 06:34:59,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yes.

5878
06:34:59,980 --> 06:35:03,420
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Usec Legargo, would you like to contribute something with permission of the Chair?

5879
06:35:03,420 --> 06:35:10,340
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: With the kind permission of the Honorable Secretary, the Honorable Members of the Committee,

5880
06:35:11,600 --> 06:35:19,520
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: Congressman, ibe-verify pa namin sa Court of Appeals and Supreme Court

5881
06:35:19,520 --> 06:35:27,000
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: because it has already been decided, and then we will give you the final outcome.

5882
06:35:27,000 --> 06:35:36,860
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: As for the interview, ginagawa namin na lahat na hindi na random ang interview

5883
06:35:36,860 --> 06:35:41,260
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: para siguradong makuha namin lahat.

5884
06:35:41,860 --> 06:35:42,260
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: Thank you.

5885
06:35:43,400 --> 06:35:49,720
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: Sa bagong Department Order No. 238.

5886
06:35:50,420 --> 06:35:51,380
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: Thank you.

5887
06:35:52,500 --> 06:35:55,240
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Thank you, Usec and Mr. Secretary.

5888
06:35:55,640 --> 06:35:56,720
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, right now,

5889
06:35:56,720 --> 06:36:02,340
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: what does an inspection now have to look like to survive judicial review?

5890
06:36:02,720 --> 06:36:06,600
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Because, given the case, given the requirements of the Supreme Court,

5891
06:36:07,480 --> 06:36:11,320
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: how many interviews, how many inspector days,

5892
06:36:11,320 --> 06:36:18,780
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: for example, an establishment similar to the establishment in the Supreme Court case?

5893
06:36:19,160 --> 06:36:22,780
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: As an estimate, please.

5894
06:36:24,040 --> 06:36:27,960
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: Our current inspection is,

5895
06:36:28,100 --> 06:36:29,540
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: ngayon ay tripartite.

5896
06:36:30,920 --> 06:36:36,560
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: So that way we can be sure na represented lahat ng mga sectors.

5897
06:36:39,140 --> 06:36:41,760
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: Employers, workers at saka government.

5898
06:36:42,980 --> 06:36:44,340
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

5899
06:36:44,820 --> 06:36:46,040
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, now on to the budget.

5900
06:36:46,540 --> 06:36:53,640
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, under the NEP, the labor laws compliance is at around ₱877 million.

5901
06:36:54,280 --> 06:36:56,820
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, what is the ideal figure?

5902
06:36:56,820 --> 06:36:59,060
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: What is the ideal peso figure?

5903
06:36:59,700 --> 06:37:04,060
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: For every large establishment, inspectors, the evidence the Supreme Court now requires.

5904
06:37:19,900 --> 06:37:26,960
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: Actually, ang iniisip namin ay more or less 9,000 inspectors

5905
06:37:26,960 --> 06:37:32,450
DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.: para mahagip natin ang karamihan na establishments.

5906
06:37:32,450 --> 06:37:35,680
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Opo, 8,000 ang kulang.

5907
06:37:35,680 --> 06:37:43,030
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Actually, I ask these questions po just to emphasize how important it is to support and to fully fund

5908
06:37:43,030 --> 06:37:44,890
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: the endeavors of the NEP.

5909
06:37:44,890 --> 06:37:49,150
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, what is the objective of the NEP when it comes to the inspection and the Visitorial Enforcement Power?

5910
06:37:49,150 --> 06:37:55,130
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Because enforcement power without manpower to prove the case is really not enough.

5911
06:37:55,130 --> 06:37:59,170
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So, just to move on to another question.

5912
06:37:59,170 --> 06:38:05,450
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Regarding po sa Bicol wage and the diesel shock,

5913
06:38:05,450 --> 06:38:09,650
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: kasi currently ₱455 po yung minimum wage sa Bicol,

5914
06:38:09,650 --> 06:38:13,050
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: around ₱11,830 sa isang buwan.

5915
06:38:14,770 --> 06:38:19,570
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Pero doon sa dalawang buwan po this year, may dumoble po yung presyo ng diesel.

5916
06:38:19,570 --> 06:38:23,650
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: May sariling patakaran po yung wage commission na pwedeng buksan ulit yung wage order

5917
06:38:23,650 --> 06:38:27,870
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: kapag biglang tumaas po yung presyo ng, for example, petrolyo.

5918
06:38:27,870 --> 06:38:32,010
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So yung question ko lang po, yung Region 5 po, RTWPB,

5919
06:38:32,010 --> 06:38:40,610
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: did it formally assess whether a supervening condition existed after that fuel shock?

5920
06:38:40,610 --> 06:38:48,610
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Your Honor, nandito ata yung Region 5.

5921
06:38:51,860 --> 06:38:53,300
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We have a new Region 5 director.

5922
06:38:53,300 --> 06:39:17,150
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Si Director Panlilio, she just assumed office. Pero ilang araw ka na ba doon? Bago pa lang eh. Hindi pa siya nakaka-assume. So NWPC perhaps give input? Ah, go ahead.

5923
06:39:17,150 --> 06:39:23,870
DOLE Region V Regional Director Geraldine M. Panlilio: With the permission po of our honorable Secretary, the Bicol Region, in consideration of the current

5924
06:39:23,870 --> 06:39:42,620
DOLE Region V Regional Director Geraldine M. Panlilio: wage order na ₱455 po ang current minimum wage. Currently po, undergoing na kami, diretso na, mayroon na pong kino-conduct na wage deliberation para po ma-review na natin talagang kailangan na

5925
06:39:42,620 --> 06:39:46,260
DOLE Region V Regional Director Geraldine M. Panlilio: because of the current situation. Thank you po.

5926
06:39:47,420 --> 06:39:50,910
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Thank you very much po. So just another question

5927
06:39:50,910 --> 06:39:53,230
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: regarding that so what does the wage commission

5928
06:39:53,870 --> 06:39:58,990
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: need to make sure that when an extraordinary shock uh hits workers the mechanism already

5929
06:39:58,990 --> 06:40:06,850
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: written into the rules of the wage commission can actually be used. Enough na rin po ba yung current po na?

5930
06:40:06,850 --> 06:40:09,900
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: NWPC? Is she here? [unclear].

5931
06:40:14,180 --> 06:40:33,810
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: Good afternoon, Your Honors. [unclear], nakalagay po sa guidelines ng minimum wage determination that the board, based on their assessment of the socioeconomic conditions,

5932
06:40:33,810 --> 06:40:45,010
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: and if the wage order is not yet has reached its anniversary they have for the power to evaluate

5933
06:40:45,010 --> 06:40:52,690
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: whether there exists and supervening condition or not but it has to go through the commission

5934
06:40:52,690 --> 06:41:00,220
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: for affirmation even before they conduct a public hearing.

5935
06:41:00,220 --> 06:41:04,430
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Okay po. So bale, just to reiterate the

5936
06:41:05,310 --> 06:41:10,670
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: just to clarify lang din po the nwpc has what it needs to enforce and to

5937
06:41:11,470 --> 06:41:14,400
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: operationalize po the rules that are already written in its ano.

5938
06:41:14,400 --> 06:41:15,580
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: Yes, Mr. Chair.

5939
06:41:15,580 --> 06:41:16,110
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Okay po.

5940
06:41:17,150 --> 06:41:22,470
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: Thank you po. For the second tranche, kapagka ito ay

5941
06:41:22,470 --> 06:41:29,270
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: na-approve na yung wage order, effective na po iyon. Hindi na po iyon mababago.

5942
06:41:29,270 --> 06:41:34,780
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Okay, maraming salamat po. Actually iyon lang naman po yung mga katanungan ko, and gusto ko lang po sabihin na a labor law is

5943
06:41:34,780 --> 06:41:37,480
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: only as strong as the department that enforces it.

5944
06:41:37,480 --> 06:41:40,520
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So I hope the department will tell this committee

5945
06:41:40,520 --> 06:41:44,590
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: po, plainly what it needs to be restored to the budget.

5946
06:41:44,590 --> 06:41:48,250
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: And I just want to manifest my full support for the department

5947
06:41:48,250 --> 06:41:51,130
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: and all the Department of Labor and Employment family.

5948
06:41:51,490 --> 06:41:52,310
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Thank you very much.

5949
06:41:52,570 --> 06:41:53,630
Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

5950
06:41:54,770 --> 06:41:56,810
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Thank you, Representative Jan Chan.

5951
06:41:57,930 --> 06:42:02,030
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Next on the list, of course, from the majority,

5952
06:42:02,250 --> 06:42:04,410
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: of course, Representative Miro Kimbo.

5953
06:42:08,400 --> 06:42:09,540
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Kasisimula ko pa lang eh.

5954
06:42:10,960 --> 06:42:14,960
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Ha? Teka, parang sinimulan ninyo sa iyong pag-immediate na zero.

5955
06:42:14,960 --> 06:42:16,900
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Baka kay Congressman Eli ninyo balak gawin iyon.

5956
06:42:18,140 --> 06:42:19,020
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Hindi sa akin.

5957
06:42:20,920 --> 06:42:23,780
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I'm tempted to give my time to Kong Eli

5958
06:42:23,780 --> 06:42:25,760
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: so that I will have more time.

5959
06:42:26,340 --> 06:42:27,960
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Because this is...

5960
06:42:27,960 --> 06:42:30,160
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Well, anyway, magandang gabi po sa ating lahat.

5961
06:42:31,100 --> 06:42:32,860
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Gabi na eh, 5:43 na dito.

5962
06:42:32,980 --> 06:42:33,940
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Gabi na ho sa amin iyan eh.

5963
06:42:35,860 --> 06:42:37,460
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I think that, you know,

5964
06:42:37,500 --> 06:42:38,380
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: while the function of the department

5965
06:42:38,380 --> 06:42:41,740
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: of labor is to protect workers,

5966
06:42:42,180 --> 06:42:44,320
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: but on the flip side,

5967
06:42:44,640 --> 06:42:47,580
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: much of the programs that have also been very impactful

5968
06:42:47,580 --> 06:42:50,120
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: are the job opportunities

5969
06:42:50,120 --> 06:42:52,080
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: that the department has been able to afford.

5970
06:42:52,780 --> 06:42:54,340
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I am a living witness kung how life-changing these programs are

5971
06:42:54,340 --> 06:42:58,060
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: on how life-changing these programs are

5972
06:42:58,060 --> 06:43:00,320
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: to individuals and their respective families.

5973
06:43:01,240 --> 06:43:04,680
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: What in my mind used to be a political tool,

5974
06:43:05,300 --> 06:43:06,980
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: meaning meant to assuage

5975
06:43:06,980 --> 06:43:07,980
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: temporary jobs,

5976
06:43:08,380 --> 06:43:10,840
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: temporary difficulties of families,

5977
06:43:11,520 --> 06:43:13,980
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: are really lifeboats.

5978
06:43:14,720 --> 06:43:16,320
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: They are important.

5979
06:43:16,600 --> 06:43:19,160
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: They come at a very critical time in their lives

5980
06:43:19,160 --> 06:43:22,160
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: na talagang life-changing

5981
06:43:22,320 --> 06:43:24,020
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: iyong opportunity na binibigay.

5982
06:43:24,520 --> 06:43:26,340
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: You're talking about GIPs

5983
06:43:26,340 --> 06:43:28,240
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: who are taking up,

5984
06:43:29,300 --> 06:43:31,720
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: or were taking up criminology

5985
06:43:31,720 --> 06:43:33,560
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: or in the allied medical

5986
06:43:33,560 --> 06:43:35,360
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: and are out of school,

5987
06:43:35,360 --> 06:43:38,360
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: are actually able to eventually find employment,

5988
06:43:38,380 --> 06:43:41,160
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: because they're able to see

5989
06:43:41,160 --> 06:43:43,120
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: the direct connection of their education

5990
06:43:43,120 --> 06:43:44,860
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: vis-a-vis employment,

5991
06:43:45,660 --> 06:43:47,460
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: and so much more.

5992
06:43:47,560 --> 06:43:48,320
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: In our district alone,

5993
06:43:49,020 --> 06:43:52,220
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: when you look at how TUPAD has been able to help

5994
06:43:52,220 --> 06:43:54,420
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: a secretary in terms of

5995
06:43:54,420 --> 06:43:56,420
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: helping the city

5996
06:43:56,420 --> 06:44:01,220
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: lift from the chaos of flooding,

5997
06:44:02,160 --> 06:44:05,360
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: while not originally intended for that,

5998
06:44:05,360 --> 06:44:08,360
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: but ito talagang malaki at importanteng bagay

5999
06:44:08,380 --> 06:44:11,160
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: para sa disaster response.

6000
06:44:11,160 --> 06:44:15,160
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So these are things that were not originally contemplated,

6001
06:44:15,160 --> 06:44:16,660
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: but like with many things,

6002
06:44:16,660 --> 06:44:22,160
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: hindi originally intended,

6003
06:44:22,160 --> 06:44:25,160
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: ito iyong mga mabibigat ang nagiging impact.

6004
06:44:25,160 --> 06:44:29,160
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: At sana ituloy natin ang mga programang ito.

6005
06:44:29,160 --> 06:44:32,160
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Wala na po akong masasabi.

6006
06:44:32,160 --> 06:44:36,160
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Of course, TESDA with Congressman Kiko,

6007
06:44:36,160 --> 06:44:38,220
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I mean,

6008
06:44:38,220 --> 06:44:42,900
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Secretary Kiko has been at the forefront

6009
06:44:42,900 --> 06:44:47,900
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: in trying to find ways to make these programs more relevant

6010
06:44:47,900 --> 06:44:50,540
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: and finding the right courses or programs

6011
06:44:50,540 --> 06:44:52,820
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: that are attuned to the job needs.

6012
06:44:52,820 --> 06:44:56,300
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So just looking from my vantage point,

6013
06:44:56,300 --> 06:44:59,060
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Secretary Tolentino,

6014
06:44:59,060 --> 06:44:59,840
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I've seen your work in .

6167
06:50:57,990 --> 06:50:59,430
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: a ongoing

6168
06:50:59,430 --> 06:51:02,070
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: global crisis in terms of

6169

6173
06:51:08,070 --> 06:51:21,770
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: There is a bigger possibility, Mr. Chair, that the board will sit down once again and look at the actual economic impact, especially on global crisis, Mr. Chair.

6174
06:51:22,150 --> 06:51:26,410
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Maganda pong na-point out iyan ng ating kaibigan na si RD Roy.

6175
06:51:26,410 --> 06:51:36,290
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Tatanungin ko naman po ang NWPC. Alam ninyo po, kalokohang malaki ang wage-setting determination natin. Alam ninyo po kung bakit?

6176
06:51:36,710 --> 06:51:49,590
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Sa isang papel po ng UP School of Economics, August 2026, Montesa ang author, binabanggit na wala naman talagang basis iyong inilalabas ninyo pong mga wage order.

6177
06:51:49,590 --> 06:51:56,390
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ang katotohanan dito, Mr. Chair, ang determination o paglalabas ng dagdag sahod ng mga regional wage boards

6178
06:51:56,410 --> 06:52:05,410
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ay nagaganap dahil sa pag-uusap-usap sa likod ng mga miyembro ng regional wage boards.

6179
06:52:05,930 --> 06:52:10,990
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Hinahamon ko po ang National Wages and Productivity Commission.

6180
06:52:11,610 --> 06:52:21,150
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Magpakita kayo ng papel at any computation na magpapakita na ang dapat na dagdag sahod ng mga manggagawa ay Php60 lamang, Mr. Chair.

6181
06:52:21,150 --> 06:52:25,370
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: And may I request the NWPC to answer this, Mr. Chair?

6182
06:52:31,200 --> 06:52:31,880
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: NWPC.

6183
06:52:38,960 --> 06:52:40,680
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: Ah doon po sa.

6184
06:52:40,680 --> 06:52:47,200
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: And ma'am, before you begin, can you put your microphone na mas malapit para marinig ng lahat po? Maraming salamat.

6185
06:52:50,200 --> 06:52:53,560
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: Good morning?good afternoon po, Mr. Chair.

6186
06:52:54,440 --> 06:53:07,400
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: Doon po sa pagtatakda ng minimum wage ng ating mga regional boards, sila po ay gumagamit ng mga wage simulations

6187
06:53:07,400 --> 06:53:07,640
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: using proxy indicators to determine

6188
06:53:07,640 --> 06:53:14,920
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: kung ano iyong mga posibleng minimum wage increase that can be given.

6189
06:53:15,760 --> 06:53:16,640
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: For example,

6190
06:53:18,580 --> 06:53:20,180
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: Sandali lang po, Mr. Chair.

6191
06:53:24,090 --> 06:53:27,710
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: Ang tanong ninyo, Cong Eli, ay kung merong amount,

6192
06:53:27,710 --> 06:53:28,510
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: bakit Php60 po?

6193
06:53:28,910 --> 06:53:30,010
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Bakit Php60 po?

6194
06:53:30,770 --> 06:53:40,650
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Na ipapakita po, Mr. Chair, computation na ipapakita directly na Php60 ang dapat na idagdag sa sahod ng manggagawa

6195
06:53:40,650 --> 06:53:42,670
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: o Php85, Mr. Chair.

6196
06:53:42,670 --> 06:53:49,610
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: So, well, hindi ko pa ho nakikita iyong wage order na binabanggit ni

6197
06:53:50,730 --> 06:53:58,970
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: ni rd roy ang akin hong pwedeng pagbasihan ay yung wage simulations na ginamit po ng ncr

6198
06:53:59,770 --> 06:54:08,010
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: doon sa mga parameters po nila for the 85 wage increase okay so meron po silang ginamit na one

6199
06:54:08,010 --> 06:54:15,770
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: two three four five six seven simulations po ang ginamit nila kung ang gagamitin po natin ay

6200
06:54:16,890 --> 06:54:29,050
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: yung 2026 2026 inflation forecast ang lumalabas ho na amount doon ay 44 pesos kung ang gagamitin po

6201
06:54:29,050 --> 06:54:36,330
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: natin ay restoration of the purchasing purchasing power lumalabas po sa computation noon ng ncr

6202
06:54:36,970 --> 06:54:37,610
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: that we have

6203
06:54:38,010 --> 06:54:40,480
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: 29 pesos

6204
06:54:40,480 --> 06:54:42,120
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: magkano po

6205
06:54:42,120 --> 06:54:49,530
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: 29 pesos 29 pesos mr chair restoration at uh kung ang kukunin po natin

6206
06:54:49,530 --> 06:55:02,250
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: ay ang growth rate ng dos gross domestic product target for 2027 ang lumalabas po doon ay 31 pesos

6207
06:55:03,370 --> 06:55:07,930
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: pag ginamit po natin yung regional gross regional domestic product

6208
06:55:08,010 --> 06:55:19,530
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: growth rate 31 pesos po ulit ang lumalabas kung BSP assumed minimum wage po of the average of

6209
06:55:19,530 --> 06:55:28,570
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: several years it's 38 pesos pero kung ang gagamitin po nila ang gulo ng aking ano ay ang average for

6210
06:55:28,570 --> 06:55:37,850
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: several years lumalabas po na 51 pesos pero ang ginamit po ng ating regional board is the two-tiered

6211
06:55:37,850 --> 06:55:45,310
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: system computation at ang lumabas po doon when they when the board decided

6212
06:55:45,310 --> 06:55:55,850
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: based on their simulation that they will give higher higher proportion for the

6213
06:55:55,850 --> 06:56:03,730
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: average wage that exists in the region lumalabas po na 85 pesos yun pong

6214
06:56:03,730 --> 06:56:12,330
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: amount okay but of course that is a deliberation between the boards and

6215
06:56:12,330 --> 06:56:19,630
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: these amounts only serve as inputs for their deliberations so there were

6216
06:56:19,630 --> 06:56:27,570
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: members of the boards who would want a 75 pesos wage increase given in one

6217
06:56:27,570 --> 06:56:32,970
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: tranche but there are board members that did not agree to it because they said

6218
06:56:32,970 --> 06:56:33,710
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: that that amount of money would be used

6219
06:56:33,710 --> 06:56:40,950
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: is very high and therefore they agreed on a tranching and the tranching for the

6220
06:56:40,950 --> 06:56:52,650
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: 85 is to give 60 pesos for this year and another 25 pesos for January [unclear] that

6221
06:56:52,650 --> 06:56:55,600
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: was the agreement of the board at that time

6222
06:56:55,600 --> 06:56:59,150
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: okay thank you mr. chair technical

6223
06:56:59,150 --> 06:57:03,350
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: inputs well I tell again actual no computation the second computation at

6224
06:57:03,350 --> 06:57:09,470
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: computation lang if wages have kept up with labor productivity since 1989

6225
06:57:09,470 --> 06:57:14,570
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: dapat ang minimum wage nga nasa isang libu na kung 2018 lost purchasing power

6226
06:57:14,570 --> 06:57:18,410
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: lang, you just multiply it, basic arithmetic lang po iyon eh. Dapat dalawang

6227
06:57:18,410 --> 06:57:22,890
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: daang piso ang dagdag sahod ng mga manggagawa kaya po yung simulation na

6228
06:57:22,890 --> 06:57:25,890
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ginagamit ng National Wages and Productivity Commission and you know

6229
06:57:25,890 --> 06:57:29,130
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: this ED napakalayo po sa reality

6230
06:57:29,130 --> 06:57:33,810
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: kaya po ang binabanggit ko at maganda po na inamin ninyo na kahit na po may

6231
06:57:33,810 --> 06:57:37,590
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: technical inputs kayo kahit na may computation maglatag tayo dito ng

6232
06:57:37,590 --> 06:57:42,890
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: mathematics ang mananaig at mananaig pa rin pagdating sa pagtatakda ng dagdag

6233
06:57:42,890 --> 06:57:49,350
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: sahod ay hindi ang matematika at hindi siyensya kundi kung ano ang gusto ng

6234
06:57:49,350 --> 06:57:53,320
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: mga miyembro ng regional wage boards tama po ba to

6235
06:57:53,320 --> 06:57:59,010
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: our wage boards po ay sila ho

6236
06:57:59,130 --> 06:58:09,630
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: ay it's a an independent body that we say that these are intelligent bodies

6237
06:58:09,630 --> 06:58:15,150
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: so ang yung sinasabi niyo ho kasi na since 1981 that is not what

6238
06:58:15,150 --> 06:58:16,030
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: 1989

6239
06:58:16,030 --> 06:58:17,070
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: that's

6240
06:58:17,070 --> 06:58:24,390
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: not what we use what ang reference po namin is the last wage order the last

6241
06:58:24,390 --> 06:58:29,110
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: time that the wage order was issued dahil malayong

6242
06:58:29,130 --> 06:58:52,690
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: napakalayo na ho iyong ano, marami na hong changes sa CPI at kung mapapansin po ninyo, 2018 po yata iyong ating latest CPI. So iyon po ang mga ginagamit nating formula, hindi po doon sa 1989.

6243
06:58:52,690 --> 06:58:58,690
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: I will not belabor the point po Mr. Chair ang punto ko lang naman po kapag nagdedetermine

6244
06:58:59,130 --> 06:59:29,110
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ng dagdag sahod ang mga regional wage boards natin wala talaga at malayo sa realidad ngayon po Mr. Chair kaya ko po binabanggit na makasaysayan itong nangyari dito sa dagdag sahod natin dahil nga po sa halip na tindigan at bibigyang diin ko po to sa halip na tindigan yung wage order number 27 e mas minabuti pa ng dole na maglabas ng wage order number 28 hindi po dapat isuko yung wage order number 27

6245
06:59:29,130 --> 06:59:30,990
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: dahil po yung

6246
06:59:30,990 --> 06:59:32,770
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: efektivity nito

6247
06:59:32,770 --> 06:59:34,210
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ay July 25

6248
06:59:34,210 --> 06:59:37,130
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: so ibig sabihin maglabas ng wage order

6249
06:59:37,130 --> 06:59:38,750
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: number 28 ng NCR

6250
06:59:38,750 --> 06:59:40,130
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: yung

6251
06:59:40,130 --> 06:59:43,210
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: pinagkait na dagdag sahod

6252
06:59:43,210 --> 06:59:45,050
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ng mga manggagawa mula pa

6253
06:59:45,050 --> 06:59:47,030
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: July 25 ay hindi

6254
06:59:47,030 --> 06:59:49,090
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: na maibabalik at maibibigay sa

6255
06:59:49,090 --> 06:59:51,170

6256
06:59:51,170 --> 06:59:52,970
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: maresolba yung problema

6257
06:59:52,970 --> 06:59:55,010
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: doon sa wage order number 27

6258
06:59:55,010 --> 06:59:56,790
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: hindi po tayo dito

6259
06:59:56,790 --> 06:59:58,470
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: naguusap ng bariya bariya lang

6260
06:59:59,130 --> 06:59:59,870
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ninanakaw

6261
07:00:00,000 --> 07:00:02,200
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: mga manggagawa ay dalawang bilyong

6262
07:00:02,200 --> 07:00:03,860
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: piso na at

6263
07:00:03,860 --> 07:00:05,980
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: pumapatak pa po ito ng 66

6264
07:00:05,980 --> 07:00:07,600
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: milyon pesos per day

6265
07:00:07,600 --> 07:00:10,000
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: hanggat hindi pa na ibibigay sa mga

6266
07:00:10,000 --> 07:00:12,340
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: manggagawa ang dagdag sahod na 60 pesos.

6267

6319

6320

6323
07:02:06,180 --> 07:02:08,560
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: complex of senior high school, TESDA,

6324
07:02:08,700 --> 07:02:10,020

6426
07:05:35,280 --> 07:05:37,260
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: is that the public institutions

6427

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: tend to be in places that

6428

6431
07:05:45,820 --> 07:05:46,880

6432
07:05:46,880 --> 07:05:48,880

6437
07:05:56,640 --> 07:05:59,140
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: 90, around 90 percent

6438

07:06:02,200 --> 07:06:04,480
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: nationwide are actually private.

6441
07:06:07,600 --> 07:06:09,040
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Because I went to Singapore and their

6442
07:06:09,040 --> 07:06:11,100
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: largest one was a government institution.

6443
07:06:11,440 --> 07:06:12,460
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, are we

6444
07:06:12,460 --> 07:06:15,120
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: considering that or consider expanding

6445
07:06:15,120 --> 07:06:16,580
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the government's role

6446
07:06:16,580 --> 07:06:19,080
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: in TESDA

6447
07:06:19,080 --> 07:06:19,520
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: schools?

6448
07:06:20,780 --> 07:06:22,680
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Sana naman po, pero wala po kaming

6449
07:06:22,680 --> 07:06:24,200
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: budget na ibinigay

6450
07:06:24,200 --> 07:06:27,000
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: ng DBM for. We have

6451
07:06:27,000 --> 07:06:28,980
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: a SIPTIVET project, which

6452
07:06:28,980 --> 07:06:30,940
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: I think was what was one of the things mentioned

6453
07:06:30,940 --> 07:06:32,800
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: in Catanduanes, for

6454
07:06:32,800 --> 07:06:35,140
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: facilities po, for regional training

6455
07:06:35,140 --> 07:06:37,180
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: innovation center, for the regional

6456
07:06:37,180 --> 07:06:38,440
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: training centers, no?

6457
07:06:38,980 --> 07:06:40,840
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Ang sa Pampanga po ay

6458
07:06:40,840 --> 07:06:42,420
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: nasa Clark.

6459
07:06:42,940 --> 07:06:45,000
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Pero ang Puyat School po

6460
07:06:45,000 --> 07:06:47,000
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: ang magmamanage. Ito po ay magiging

6461
07:06:47,000 --> 07:06:48,660
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: branch po ng Puyat School, no?

6462
07:06:49,040 --> 07:06:51,080
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, there is a proposal

6463
07:06:51,080 --> 07:06:52,900
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to create a polytechnic

6464
07:06:52,900 --> 07:06:54,740
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: system, similar to

6465
07:06:54,740 --> 07:06:56,760
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Singapore. But at this point,

6466
07:06:57,180 --> 07:06:58,480
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: it may not

6467
07:06:58,480 --> 07:07:01,000
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: it may not be

6468
07:07:01,000 --> 07:07:02,780
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: the most efficient use,

6469
07:07:02,800 --> 07:07:04,780
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: of government funds to compete

6470
07:07:04,780 --> 07:07:06,640
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: necessarily with the private

6471
07:07:06,640 --> 07:07:08,960
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: provisions. It's much better, ma'am,

6472
07:07:09,020 --> 07:07:10,480
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to complement each other

6473
07:07:10,480 --> 07:07:13,020
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: so that we can maximize the investment

6474
07:07:13,020 --> 07:07:14,140
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: into the sector.

6475
07:07:15,280 --> 07:07:16,960
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Sa amin po, we're more

6476
07:07:16,960 --> 07:07:18,880
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: than willing to build all the buildings.

6477
07:07:19,120 --> 07:07:20,360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Ang problema, yung TESDA

6478
07:07:20,360 --> 07:07:22,840
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: seems they cannot cope up

6479
07:07:22,840 --> 07:07:24,920
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: with the buildings that we can

6480
07:07:24,920 --> 07:07:25,640
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: produce.

6481
07:07:27,660 --> 07:07:28,760
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Napapalitan na po yan.

6482
07:07:29,240 --> 07:07:31,060
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, slowly, more and more provision

6483
07:07:31,060 --> 07:07:32,720
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: is being given, in fact, to public

6484
07:07:32,720 --> 07:07:33,380
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: institutions.

6485
07:07:34,220 --> 07:07:36,200
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I was informed by a regional director,

6486
07:07:36,300 --> 07:07:38,500
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: bago pa lang po siya, pero napakasipag po,

6487
07:07:38,980 --> 07:07:40,860
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: na I would like to especially

6488
07:07:40,860 --> 07:07:42,700
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: mention our RD. Magiging

6489
07:07:42,700 --> 07:07:44,940
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: regional hub po yung aming TESDA

6490
07:07:44,940 --> 07:07:46,660
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: because we are the only TESDA

6491
07:07:46,660 --> 07:07:48,660
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: school with 3 hectares

6492
07:07:48,660 --> 07:07:50,880
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: of titled land. So, can you expound

6493
07:07:50,880 --> 07:07:52,140
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: more on the regional hub?

6494
07:07:53,200 --> 07:07:54,660
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, the idea of the regional

6495
07:07:54,660 --> 07:07:56,880
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: hub po, as I said, is there's a regional

6496
07:07:56,880 --> 07:07:59,020
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: training center that usually is attached

6497
07:07:59,020 --> 07:08:00,580
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to an innovation center

6498
07:08:00,580 --> 07:08:02,540
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: that will become a hub or an

6499
07:08:02,540 --> 07:08:04,580
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: apex po for the polytechnic, emerging

6500
07:08:04,580 --> 07:08:06,740
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: polytechnic system in the country.

6501
07:08:06,860 --> 07:08:08,740
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Ang bawat region po, ang magkakaroon

6502
07:08:08,740 --> 07:08:11,180
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: ng isang whether amalgamated

6503
07:08:11,180 --> 07:08:12,980
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: or single system.

6504
07:08:13,640 --> 07:08:14,780
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: TESDA po is

6505
07:08:14,780 --> 07:08:16,740
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: looking at different models

6506
07:08:16,740 --> 07:08:18,700
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: for how to create what

6507
07:08:18,700 --> 07:08:20,620
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: in other countries might be called the

6508
07:08:20,620 --> 07:08:22,220
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: TAFE system in Australia

6509
07:08:22,220 --> 07:08:24,960
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: or a community college system in the US

6510
07:08:24,960 --> 07:08:26,720
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: per region po.

6511
07:08:26,940 --> 07:08:28,560
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: And it will be in

6512
07:08:28,560 --> 07:08:29,720
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Pampanga po for

6513
07:08:29,720 --> 07:08:32,520
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: kasi kayo

6514
07:08:32,540 --> 07:08:34,160
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: po ang may lupa po

6515
07:08:34,160 --> 07:08:36,160
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: for the TESDA schools.

6516
07:08:36,660 --> 07:08:37,250
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Yes po.

6517
07:08:37,250 --> 07:08:38,280
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Okay, thank you so much.

6518
07:08:38,320 --> 07:08:40,660
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: That's very interesting. And lastly,

6519
07:08:41,720 --> 07:08:43,200
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: lastly,

6520
07:08:43,560 --> 07:08:44,840
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: my question is

6521
07:08:44,840 --> 07:08:47,020
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: ano po ang mas marami?

6522
07:08:47,200 --> 07:08:48,460
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Ang out-of-school youth

6523
07:08:48,460 --> 07:08:50,440
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: or yung youth po na

6524
07:08:50,440 --> 07:08:51,880
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: nag-pro proceed sa college?

6525
07:08:53,640 --> 07:08:54,800
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Ma'am, out-of-school

6526
07:08:54,800 --> 07:08:56,520
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: youth po. Kasi pati po

6527
07:08:56,520 --> 07:08:58,520
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: ang nasa college ay nagda-drop out

6528
07:08:58,520 --> 07:09:00,740
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to around 35 to 40 percent

6529
07:09:00,740 --> 07:09:02,000
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: after the second year.

6530
07:09:02,540 --> 07:09:04,820
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So what percentage would you say would be

6531
07:09:04,820 --> 07:09:06,680
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: in the college and those

6532
07:09:06,680 --> 07:09:07,760
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: out of the college?

6533
07:09:08,500 --> 07:09:10,440
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Nako po ma'am, mahirap po

6534
07:09:10,440 --> 07:09:13,980
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: because hindi naman siguro.

6535
07:09:14,180 --> 07:09:15,840
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Ang mga nasa 60-40

6536
07:09:15,840 --> 07:09:17,520
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: siguro ma'am ang estimate ko.

6537
07:09:17,880 --> 07:09:20,040
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Okay. So what is the budget of the TESDA

6538
07:09:20,040 --> 07:09:21,140
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: compared to the CHED?

6539
07:09:22,540 --> 07:09:23,740
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Ma'am, mas maliit po kami.

6540
07:09:23,860 --> 07:09:25,300
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Kami po ang pinakamaliit.

6541
07:09:25,940 --> 07:09:27,280
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Mas malaki po ang CHED.

6542
07:09:27,800 --> 07:09:29,920
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Part of that is because

6543
07:09:29,920 --> 07:09:31,940
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: there is a preference

6544
07:09:31,940 --> 07:09:33,460
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: locally.

6545
07:09:33,820 --> 07:09:35,540
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: No, culturally to go to

6546
07:09:35,540 --> 07:09:37,160
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: higher education under CHED

6547
07:09:37,160 --> 07:09:38,740
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: than to take tech-voc po.

6548
07:09:40,320 --> 07:09:41,460
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So my question

6549
07:09:41,460 --> 07:09:42,760
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: is, bakit

6550
07:09:42,760 --> 07:09:45,520
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: if we are serving more sa TESDA

6551
07:09:45,520 --> 07:09:47,560
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: supposedly those who cannot go to college

6552
07:09:47,560 --> 07:09:49,500
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: sana mag-tech-voc. Tama ba ako?

6553
07:09:49,860 --> 07:09:51,360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: At least iyon ang plano natin.

6554
07:09:51,760 --> 07:09:52,900
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Ang plano po natin...

6555
07:09:52,900 --> 07:09:55,700
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Or even those who went to college but could not find a job

6556
07:09:55,700 --> 07:09:57,600
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: can go back to tech-voc. Tama po ba ako?

6557
07:09:57,620 --> 07:09:59,380
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So doesn?t it follow that

6558
07:09:59,380 --> 07:10:01,580
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: your budget should be actually larger than CHED?

6559
07:10:01,580 --> 07:10:03,640
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Thank you very much ma'am.

6560
07:10:03,820 --> 07:10:04,820
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: For manifesting that.

6561
07:10:07,430 --> 07:10:09,430
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Yun lang po. Kasi talagang ano po

6562
07:10:09,430 --> 07:10:11,490
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: we have more out-of-school youth

6563
07:10:11,490 --> 07:10:13,450
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: who immediately need to get employed.

6564
07:10:13,950 --> 07:10:15,590
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So I would like to state that

6565
07:10:15,590 --> 07:10:17,850
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: if we have increased

6566
07:10:17,850 --> 07:10:19,790
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the budget of the Department of Education

6567
07:10:19,790 --> 07:10:21,390
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: we have also supported

6568
07:10:21,390 --> 07:10:23,050
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the CHED and SUCs.

6569
07:10:23,290 --> 07:10:25,630
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So it just goes to follow that since we're catering

6570
07:10:25,630 --> 07:10:27,150
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: to a larger market po

6571
07:10:27,150 --> 07:10:28,430
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: and siguro mas

6572
07:10:28,430 --> 07:10:31,670
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: problema pa sila because they did not go to

6573
07:10:31,670 --> 07:10:32,930
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: higher education

6574
07:10:32,930 --> 07:10:35,490
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I would definitely manifest in

6575
07:10:35,490 --> 07:10:36,650
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: move that mas malaki po

6576
07:10:36,650 --> 07:10:39,170
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: at dagdagan po nang malaki ang TESDA budget.

6577
07:10:39,630 --> 07:10:40,810
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Salamat po Mr. Chair.

6578
07:10:40,970 --> 07:10:41,890
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Salamat po, Cong Anna.

6579
07:10:42,310 --> 07:10:44,750
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So yun lang po. Again, I would like to

6580
07:10:44,750 --> 07:10:47,610
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: thank Secretary Kiko

6581
07:10:47,610 --> 07:10:49,670
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: and our very masipag na RD

6582
07:10:49,670 --> 07:10:51,790
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: na gagawin nga po kaming regional hub

6583
07:10:51,790 --> 07:10:53,750
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: and of course the DOLE family

07:20:02,860 --> 07:20:04,480
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Gusto ko lang pong banggitin

6859
07:20:04,480 --> 07:20:05,840
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: na itong

6860
07:20:05,840 --> 07:20:08,540
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: based sa 2025 na datos,

6861
07:20:08,740 --> 07:20:10,280
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: medyo tumaas siya ng kaunti

6862
07:20:10,280 --> 07:20:12,080
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: compared sa 2024.

6863
07:20:12,820 --> 07:20:14,740
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: But if we compare it to our

6864
07:20:14,740 --> 07:20:16,540
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: previous data in prior

6865
07:20:16,540 --> 07:20:18,320
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: years, starting in

6866
07:20:18,320 --> 07:20:20,420
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: 2021, na nasa

6867
07:20:20,420 --> 07:20:22,540
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: more than 900,000 po yun.

6868
07:20:23,040 --> 07:20:24,360
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: And then, latter years,

6869
07:20:24,440 --> 07:20:26,560

6875

07:28:47,950 --> 07:28:49,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: market administrators

7121
07:28:49,950 --> 07:28:51,950

07:28:51,950 --> 07:28:53,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: city or municipal treasurers.

7123
07:28:53,950 --> 07:28:55,950

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sa mga stalls.

7125
07:28:57,950 --> 07:28:59,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: But times have changed.

7126
07:28:59,950 --> 07:29:01,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We now have

7127
07:29:01,950 --> 07:29:03,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: private quasi-public

7128
07:29:03,950 --> 07:29:05,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: markets

7129
07:29:05,950 --> 07:29:07,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na hindi minsan nadadaanan

7130
07:29:07,950 --> 07:29:09,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ni market administrator.

7131
07:29:09,950 --> 07:29:11,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Dahil nagbabayad lang po yun

7132
07:29:11,950 --> 07:29:13,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sa kung sino man po ang may-ari

7133
07:29:13,950 --> 07:29:15,950

07:29:23,950 --> 07:29:25,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: pinapasyalan.

7139
07:29:25,950 --> 07:29:27,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi naman po consultation

7140
07:29:27,950 --> 07:29:29,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Your Honor, but if I may

7141
07:29:29,950 --> 07:29:31,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: suggest, dapat po siguro

7142
07:29:31,950 --> 07:29:33,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: maorganisa na sila

7143
07:29:33,950 --> 07:29:35,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: not just

7144
07:29:35,950 --> 07:29:37,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: as a group, but

7145
07:29:37,950 --> 07:29:39,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: a group that can

7146
07:29:39,950 --> 07:29:41,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: be supervised and their

7147
07:29:41,950 --> 07:29:43,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: members have equal rights

7148
07:29:43,950 --> 07:29:45,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: as well.

7149
07:29:45,950 --> 07:29:47,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pribado po dapat ang tingin dun sa mga

7150
07:29:47,950 --> 07:29:49,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: private stall concessionaires

7151
07:29:49,950 --> 07:29:51,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na nasa pribadong

7152
07:29:51,950 --> 07:29:53,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sektor at doon sa public market,

7153
07:29:53,950 --> 07:29:55,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sa Quinta, sa Barangka,

7154
07:29:55,950 --> 07:29:57,950
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: at sa lahat na po. Yun lang po

7155
07:30:00,000 --> 07:30:04,740
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Your Honor, iyon lang po iyong pagbisita ko na siguro na-capture lang sa social media.

7156
07:30:06,380 --> 07:30:11,880
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mahalaga ito, Mr. Chair, dahil nakita natin na wala akong national government agency

7157
07:30:11,880 --> 07:30:15,520
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ang sumisilip na kumusta na ba yung ating mga public markets.

7158
07:30:16,140 --> 07:30:18,000
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kumusta na ba yung interest ng market vendors?

7159
07:30:18,160 --> 07:30:24,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Tulad ng nasabi ninyo, marami nang nagiging privado o may mga PPP sa mga market natin sa buong bansa.

7160
07:30:25,340 --> 07:30:28,680
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Paano natin matitiyak na may bosses pa rin sila pagdating sa palisya

7161
07:30:28,680 --> 07:30:34,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: na kung may mga issues at concerns sila sa mga PPP ay nagagawan ng aksyon?

7162
07:30:34,940 --> 07:30:40,660
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya tayo ay mag-propose ng isang dialogue or consultation sa DOLE tungkol dito.

7163
07:30:41,140 --> 07:30:48,140
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Bilang panghuli, Mr. Chair, tungkol sa COA report, tungkol sa repeat beneficiary sa TUPAD.

7164
07:30:48,780 --> 07:30:52,300
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: May ginawa na bang aksyon dito ang DOLE?

7165
07:30:52,880 --> 07:30:57,980
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mahalaga ito sa kapulungan na ito dahil billion-billion ang nakalaan dito sa TUPAD.

7166
07:30:57,980 --> 07:31:02,740
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Yung dapat sanang billion-billion para sa trabaho at kabuhayan, dito ho nakalaan.

7167
07:31:03,040 --> 07:31:07,680
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya dapat maiwasan natin yung ganitong mga gawi na may repeat beneficiaries

7168
07:31:07,680 --> 07:31:14,660
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: habang nananawagan pa rin tayo na dapat sana billion-billion din yung pondo para sa domestic job creation.

7169
07:31:15,200 --> 07:31:18,660
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ayun na po yung panghuli kong katanungan at manifestation, Mr. Chair.

7170
07:31:19,020 --> 07:31:23,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat sa DOLE at papakinggan ko ang inyong aksyon tungkol sa bagay na ito.

7171
07:31:24,420 --> 07:31:27,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Siguro po si Asec Ami Reyes can provide.

7172
07:31:27,980 --> 07:31:33,880
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Patungkol doon sa umuulit kasi dapat may grace period yun.

7173
07:31:34,320 --> 07:31:39,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We avoid favoritism. We give others the job opportunities as well.

7174
07:31:41,760 --> 07:31:42,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Thank you, Sec.

7175
07:31:43,800 --> 07:31:51,700
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Regarding po doon sa mga complaints na may mga like double availments, yung po ba ang ibig niyo pong banggitin?

7176
07:31:51,700 --> 07:31:57,080
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Kasi under our existing guidelines, dapat once lang.

7177
07:31:57,980 --> 07:31:59,040
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Every calendar year.

7178
07:31:59,040 --> 07:32:10,160
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: So ngayon, we are enhancing our TUPAD monitoring system na i-implement ng lahat po ng mga regional offices

7179
07:32:10,160 --> 07:32:13,040
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: para sa ganon makita ka agad kung may duplication.

7180
07:32:13,900 --> 07:32:26,920
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: And there is already a coordination being made with the PSA on the use of their portal to easily check yung validity po, no?

7181
07:32:26,920 --> 07:32:27,920
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: At saka yung coordination.

7182
07:32:27,980 --> 07:32:33,160
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Correctness and authenticity of the IDs being presented.

7183
07:32:33,160 --> 07:32:49,440
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: And of course, ito pong recently lang ho, our Secretary issued a memorandum to all our regional offices to closely monitor iyong implementation ho ng TUPAD in all regions and provinces and areas

7184
07:32:49,440 --> 07:32:57,040
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: to ensure that what is being delivered as part of the performance under the contract of TUPAD,

7185
07:32:57,040 --> 07:33:05,880
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: are being done based on the terms of their hiring and based on the work program.

7186
07:33:05,880 --> 07:33:12,180
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Meron po kasing work program, ma'am, yun bago ho ma-approve yung sa 2-pad natin.

7187
07:33:12,360 --> 07:33:17,260
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: So nandiyan po kami sa punto na kailangan talaga close monitoring.

7188
07:33:17,940 --> 07:33:24,900
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Challenge din po sa amin yan kasi we have also very limited number of our personnel on the ground.

7189
07:33:25,540 --> 07:33:27,000
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: And tumutulong po.

7190
07:33:27,040 --> 07:33:39,180
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: And if we have a partner agency or partner government under our convergence program, we also ask them to help in monitoring.

7191
07:33:39,420 --> 07:33:47,920
DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: So it's not just about fielding them on the ground, but seeing to it that they are doing their job and they are also protected while they are doing their job.

7192
07:33:49,020 --> 07:33:49,960
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat.

7193
07:33:49,960 --> 07:33:55,960
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Alagay ko na lang ho sa record ang ating request para sa status report ng inyong...

7194
07:33:57,040 --> 07:34:06,620
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: programa para sa paggamit ng single entry approach at ang compliance ng DOLE at ng TESDA sa kanyang gender and development mandate.

7195
07:34:06,900 --> 07:34:07,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat.

7196
07:34:09,160 --> 07:34:11,660
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Thank you very much, Representative Sara.

7197
07:34:12,380 --> 07:34:20,260
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Next to give his manifestation, let us recognize Representative Miro Quimbo.

7198
07:34:20,520 --> 07:34:21,500
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Thank you very much.

7199
07:34:21,500 --> 07:34:24,400
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Anyway, we're waiting for Chairman Mika.

7200
07:34:25,900 --> 07:34:26,500
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I just...

7201
07:34:26,500 --> 07:34:33,440
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: While it is a manifestation, can I ask Attorney Roy Buenafe to please take the seat?

7202
07:34:33,440 --> 07:34:35,600
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I just have a very quick...

7203
07:34:35,600 --> 07:34:42,720
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Because I don't want us leaving with a misimpression regarding wage order number 27 and 28.

7204
07:34:43,320 --> 07:34:44,760
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So clarify ko lang ha.

7205
07:34:45,440 --> 07:34:53,580
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So wage order number 26, 18 July 2025, the minimum wage was 695 pesos, correct?

7206
07:34:55,180 --> 07:34:56,440
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: With the permission of...

7207
07:34:56,500 --> 07:34:58,660
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: of the Secretary, Mr. Chair, that is correct po.

7208
07:34:59,160 --> 07:35:08,200
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Wage order number 27, one year later, issued on 20 July 2026, mandated 755 pesos, correct?

7209
07:35:08,760 --> 07:35:10,620
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Yes po, on the first tranche, Mr. Chair.

7210
07:35:10,760 --> 07:35:11,020
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Correct.

7211
07:35:11,300 --> 07:35:13,080
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: 60 pesos on the first tranche.

7212
07:35:13,260 --> 07:35:13,580
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Yes po.

7213
07:35:13,620 --> 07:35:16,100
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: 20 pesos come January 26.

7214
07:35:16,360 --> 07:35:17,320
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: 25 pesos po.

7215
07:35:17,320 --> 07:35:21,340
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: 25 pesos come January 2027, correct?

7216
07:35:21,740 --> 07:35:22,100
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Tama po.

7217
07:35:22,120 --> 07:35:26,320
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: But that Wage Order No. 27 has been sent to purgatory.

7218
07:35:26,500 --> 07:35:38,540
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: By virtue of the injunction application, which effectively was granted, but is still awaiting resolution relative to the failure or non-posting of the bond, correct?

7219
07:35:39,080 --> 07:35:39,900
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Tama po, Mr. Chair.

7220
07:35:39,980 --> 07:35:42,460
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: But the court has not yet set it aside.

7221
07:35:43,460 --> 07:35:52,120
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, in short, the injunction remains effective until and unless the court issues an order rescinding the same.

7222
07:35:52,280 --> 07:35:52,480
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Tama?

7223
07:35:53,100 --> 07:35:54,080
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Yes po, Mr. Chair.

7224
07:35:54,080 --> 07:35:56,340
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, while in fact there has been...

7225
07:35:56,500 --> 07:36:06,820
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: On record, no filing of any bond, we cannot yet assume that the injunction is found to be sufficient until and unless the court orders so.

7226
07:36:07,920 --> 07:36:09,940
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: As a lawyer also, Mr. Chair, I believe so.

7227
07:36:09,940 --> 07:36:10,280
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Yes po, Mr. Chair.

7228
07:36:10,480 --> 07:36:10,680
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Correct.

7229
07:36:11,180 --> 07:36:11,400
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Tama?

7230
07:36:12,020 --> 07:36:12,420
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Tama po.

7231
07:36:12,620 --> 07:36:12,860
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Okay.

7232
07:36:13,480 --> 07:36:21,080
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, in view of that, and in view of the seeming difficulties that our workers are going through,

7233
07:36:21,100 --> 07:36:42,300
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: the Wage Board took the initiative and exercised its extraordinary powers, recognizing the difficulty that the workers are going through despite the quagmire of this injunction. You said, let us issue No. 28 para ma-implement natin at ma-address natin ang pangangailangan ng mga manggagawa.

7234
07:36:42,320 --> 07:36:42,560
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Tama ba?

7235
07:36:42,820 --> 07:36:43,880
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Yes po, Mr. Chair.

7236
07:36:44,080 --> 07:36:48,840
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: That's really the rationality behind Wage Order No. 28.

7237
07:36:49,200 --> 07:36:50,380
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Yes or no lang para mabilis tayo, ha?

7238
07:36:50,380 --> 07:36:51,240
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Yes po, Mr. Chair.

7239
07:36:51,380 --> 07:36:51,680
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Yes po.

7240
07:36:52,220 --> 07:36:56,460
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, effectively, it is incorrect to say that we just...

7241
07:36:56,460 --> 07:36:58,340
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: order number 28 is a

7242
07:36:58,340 --> 07:37:00,440
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: reduction. It cannot be

7243
07:37:00,440 --> 07:37:02,480
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: a reduction because wage order number

7244
07:37:02,480 --> 07:37:04,500
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: 27 never took life.

7245
07:37:05,260 --> 07:37:06,660
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So as far as we are concerned

7246
07:37:06,660 --> 07:37:08,380
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: today, it's wage order number

7247
07:37:08,380 --> 07:37:10,480
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: 26 at 695

7248
07:37:10,480 --> 07:37:12,600
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: pesos. So wage order number

7249
07:37:12,600 --> 07:37:14,720
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: 28 is increasing

7250
07:37:14,720 --> 07:37:16,520
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: it by 60 pesos. Correct?

7251
07:37:16,940 --> 07:37:17,620
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Yes, po, Mr. Chairman.

7252
07:37:17,640 --> 07:37:19,160
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: O, dapat ganoon ng pagsagot.

7253
07:37:20,500 --> 07:37:20,740
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Diba?

7254
07:37:21,840 --> 07:37:24,460
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: There is no diminution.

7255
07:37:24,460 --> 07:37:26,500
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: This is a fantastic

7256
07:37:26,500 --> 07:37:28,560
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: solution provided by

7257
07:37:28,560 --> 07:37:30,280
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: the Secretary of Labor.

7258
07:37:30,740 --> 07:37:32,640
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: While I know that they are independent,

7259
07:37:32,880 --> 07:37:34,400
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I am sure that

7260
07:37:34,400 --> 07:37:35,900
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: your

7261
07:37:35,900 --> 07:37:38,740
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: pro-people stance, pro-labor stance

7262
07:37:38,740 --> 07:37:40,500
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: has influenced the board

7263
07:37:40,500 --> 07:37:41,800
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: to take this dramatic

7264
07:37:41,800 --> 07:37:44,640
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: turn and dramatic decision.

7265
07:37:45,580 --> 07:37:45,680
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Diba?

7266
07:37:46,100 --> 07:37:48,600
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So let's not leave today

7267
07:37:48,600 --> 07:37:50,480
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: thinking that the Department

7268
07:37:50,480 --> 07:37:52,620
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: of Labor is responsible for

7269
07:37:52,620 --> 07:37:54,400
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: issuing a reduction

7270
07:37:54,400 --> 07:37:56,500
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: in the workers' salaries

7271
07:37:56,500 --> 07:37:58,500
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: or wages. We cannot leave

7272
07:37:58,500 --> 07:38:00,540
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: this room having that

7273
07:38:00,540 --> 07:38:02,120
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: idea. Tama ba?

7274
07:38:03,280 --> 07:38:03,780
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Tama ba?

7275
07:38:04,900 --> 07:38:06,340
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, last,

7276
07:38:06,960 --> 07:38:08,580
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: in the event that the

7277
07:38:08,580 --> 07:38:09,920
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: court finally issues

7278
07:38:09,920 --> 07:38:12,740
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: an order

7279
07:38:12,740 --> 07:38:14,460
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: saying that the injunction

7280
07:38:14,460 --> 07:38:16,560
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: is now functus officio, it is

7281
07:38:16,560 --> 07:38:18,640
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: dead because of their failure to issue

7282
07:38:18,640 --> 07:38:20,400
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: the bond, then therefore

7283
07:38:20,400 --> 07:38:22,180
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: wage order number 27

7284
07:38:22,180 --> 07:38:24,380
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: will come to life. Am I correct?

7285
07:38:24,400 --> 07:38:26,700
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Perhaps, Mr. Chair.

7286
07:38:27,120 --> 07:38:28,500
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, the

7287
07:38:28,500 --> 07:38:30,440
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: wage board will

7288
07:38:30,440 --> 07:38:32,520
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: now be predisposed to make a

7289
07:38:32,520 --> 07:38:34,500
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: decision to say, uy, teka muna,

7290
07:38:34,760 --> 07:38:36,480
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: we have to follow the court. The court

7291
07:38:36,480 --> 07:38:38,340
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: is now saying wage order number

7292
07:38:38,340 --> 07:38:40,520
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: 27 is in effect, so therefore

7293
07:38:40,520 --> 07:38:42,320
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: wage order number 28

7294
07:38:42,320 --> 07:38:43,440
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: is now useless.

7295
07:38:44,960 --> 07:38:46,400
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I am not preempting the board, but

7296
07:38:46,400 --> 07:38:48,320
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: in all likelihood, it may take

7297
07:38:48,320 --> 07:38:49,880
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: that direction. May.

7298
07:38:51,040 --> 07:38:51,600
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Tama?

7299
07:38:51,600 --> 07:38:52,240
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Yes.

7300
07:38:52,240 --> 07:38:53,300
DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe: Yes, Mr. Chair.

7301
07:38:53,300 --> 07:38:53,820
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: So, therefore,

7302
07:38:53,820 --> 07:38:55,480
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: we are restoring

7303
07:38:55,480 --> 07:38:57,940
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: the rights of our workers

7304
07:38:57,940 --> 07:38:59,720
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: to have living

7305
07:38:59,720 --> 07:39:01,680
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: wages. While not yet

7306
07:39:01,680 --> 07:39:03,880
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: sufficient to cover

7307
07:39:03,880 --> 07:39:05,660
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: all forms of inflation,

7308
07:39:06,260 --> 07:39:07,760
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: I think the Department of Labor

7309
07:39:07,760 --> 07:39:09,760
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: is taking the extra step, and

7310
07:39:09,760 --> 07:39:11,700
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: it's not sleeping on its job.

7311
07:39:12,460 --> 07:39:13,680
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: Diba? Because

7312
07:39:13,680 --> 07:39:15,740
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: you could be accused of

7313
07:39:15,740 --> 07:39:17,440
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: circumventing the injunction

7314
07:39:17,440 --> 07:39:19,760
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: by issuing number 28.

7315
07:39:20,180 --> 07:39:21,300
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: But despite that,

7316
07:39:21,300 --> 07:39:23,380
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: the department or the wage

7317
07:39:23,380 --> 07:39:23,760
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: board,

7318
07:39:23,820 --> 07:39:25,720
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: rather, which is an independent

7319
07:39:25,720 --> 07:39:27,740
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: body, not subject to the

7320
07:39:27,740 --> 07:39:29,520
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: influence of the Secretary of Labor,

7321
07:39:30,160 --> 07:39:31,740
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: is taking

7322
07:39:31,740 --> 07:39:33,500
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: the extra step to be diligent

7323
07:39:33,500 --> 07:39:35,500
Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo: enough to protect the workers.

07:44:42,520 --> 07:44:43,720
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: Congress and the Senate.

7474
07:44:44,340 --> 07:44:45,780
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: But as to whether

7475
07:44:45,780 --> 07:44:47,380
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: we

7476
07:44:47,380 --> 07:44:50,660
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: the intention is to issue

7477
07:44:50,660 --> 07:44:52,400
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: a national minimum

7478
07:44:52,400 --> 07:44:53,060
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: wage,

7479
07:44:54,100 --> 07:44:56,280
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: we defer po

7480
07:44:56,280 --> 07:44:58,380
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: to both the Congress

7481
07:44:58,380 --> 07:45:01,660
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: and the Senate, given the technical inputs that we have provided.

7482
07:45:04,460 --> 07:45:06,460
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Okay, that is a fair answer.

7483
07:45:06,600 --> 07:45:11,510
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: But can you answer, ma'am, the second one, which is, is the government prepared to support

7484
07:45:11,510 --> 07:45:15,790
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: the National Minimum Wage Act that would supersede the Regional Wage Board system?

7485
07:45:15,790 --> 07:45:22,050
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Again, for the record, that will be the same answer as you gave us.

7486
07:45:22,050 --> 07:45:35,110
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: That is not our mandate to favor any legislation.

7487
07:45:35,110 --> 07:45:43,990
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: We just here to, our mandate is to act as a technical body to the President and Congress

7488
07:45:43,990 --> 07:45:50,790
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: on matters relating to wages and productivity, but as to say whether the one is in favor

7489
07:45:50,790 --> 07:45:51,790
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: of the other.

7490
07:45:51,790 --> 07:45:53,510
NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy: That is not part of our mandate.

7491
07:45:53,510 --> 07:46:00,410
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: In short, Director, that the next Department will have a law in place.

7492
07:46:00,410 --> 07:46:01,410
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: All right.

7493
07:46:01,410 --> 07:46:05,770
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Thank you.

7494
07:46:05,770 --> 07:46:14,210
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Next question is from PBED pertaining to the IBED-NAT plan allocations.

7495
07:46:14,210 --> 07:46:19,330
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: I'm sure you have the reading readiness, Secretary Kiko.

7496
07:46:19,330 --> 07:46:21,030
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: I'll mention the questions already.

7497
07:46:21,030 --> 07:46:24,970
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: You have the copy, Secretary Kiko.

7498
07:46:24,970 --> 07:46:29,210
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: First question will be, given its long-term horizon, how is the commitment reflected in

7499
07:46:29,210 --> 07:46:31,090
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: the government's annual budget allocations?

7500
07:46:31,090 --> 07:46:33,590
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: That's the first question.

7501
07:46:33,590 --> 07:46:39,070
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Secondly, specifically, what institutional guardrails or mechanism are in place to ensure

7502
07:46:39,070 --> 07:46:44,070
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: that the priorities and targets outlined in that plan are consistently translated to the

7503
07:46:44,070 --> 07:46:49,730
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: agency's budget proposals from National Expenditure Program, or NEP, to ultimately the General

7504
07:46:49,730 --> 07:46:51,690
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Appropriations Act, or GAA?

7505
07:46:51,690 --> 07:46:53,690
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Sec, you have the floor.

7506
07:46:54,690 --> 07:47:01,670
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Well, the question about the NAP plan, in fact, permeates all of TESDA's planning.

7507
07:47:01,670 --> 07:47:06,670
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So the allocation, I could say, would be 75 to 80 percent of TESDA scholarship budgets

7508
07:47:06,670 --> 07:47:12,690
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: are actually allocated towards the NAP plan priority sectors, particularly because many

7509
07:47:12,690 --> 07:47:17,430
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: of these priority sectors overlap with the key employment-generating sectors that the

7510
07:47:17,430 --> 07:47:19,690
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: DOLE has actually identified.

7511
07:47:19,690 --> 07:47:23,810
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: It's actually a narrower list than what the DOLE has given TESDA.

7512
07:47:24,690 --> 07:47:32,570
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So if the question is long-term horizon, part na po yan ng area-based demand-driven

7513
07:47:32,570 --> 07:47:39,770
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: prioritization that comes out of the DOLE and TESDA planning, kasama po dyan ang tulong

7514
07:47:39,770 --> 07:47:46,450
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: trabaho, kasama po dyan ang various national development plans.

7515
07:47:46,450 --> 07:47:51,690
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Siguro ang idadagdag ko na lang, because I think the next question is also for us.

7516
07:47:52,690 --> 07:47:53,690
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Yes.

7517
07:47:54,690 --> 07:48:01,870
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: It has to do with the education and workforce development group that is now being institutionalized

7518
07:48:01,870 --> 07:48:07,430
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: under the Department of Education to make sure, in fact, that the funding allocation

7519
07:48:07,430 --> 07:48:13,030
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and the initiatives around the implementation of the NAP plan actually continues as long

7520
07:48:13,030 --> 07:48:17,350
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: as possible, which is a 10-year horizon, which is what's in the plan.

7521
07:48:17,350 --> 07:48:22,570
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: But I think DOLE would also like to respond in terms of their participation in the EWDG

7522
07:48:22,570 --> 07:48:23,570
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and for the tulong trabaho plan.

7523
07:48:24,570 --> 07:48:26,910
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: With the permission of the Secretary.

7524
07:48:27,910 --> 07:48:28,910
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Go ahead, Yusec.

7525
07:48:29,910 --> 07:48:30,910
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Yes.

7526
07:48:31,880 --> 07:48:39,600
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Yes. With regards to the education and workforce development plan, kasama po ang DOLE as vice chair.

7527
07:48:39,600 --> 07:48:47,100
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: So doon sa responsibility ng DOLE is to ensure, kasi ito po iyong nasa next question, kung sino ang responsible for providing labor market information.

7528
07:48:47,100 --> 07:48:54,700
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: At ito po iyong crucial inputs namin doon sa NAP plan and under the education and workforce development plan.

7529
07:48:54,700 --> 07:49:03,600
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: Na kung saan ina-identify natin ang hard-to-fill occupations, critical skills and emerging skills.

7530
07:49:03,600 --> 07:49:14,200
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: At we are providing details on this and working closely with TESDA, DepDev, DepEd and CHED.

7531
07:49:14,200 --> 07:49:19,600
DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: So kami iyong nangangailangan ng budget para sa LMI.

7532
07:49:19,600 --> 07:49:26,100
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Yes, and the current allocation is super liit. Yes, that is the reason.

7533
07:49:26,110 --> 07:49:30,990
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: kinakailangan po yung importansya na malaman na yung importansya po nito next question is

7534
07:49:30,990 --> 07:49:36,110
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: on the fourth one i forgot to mention is where in this budget does the labor market information

7535
07:49:36,110 --> 07:49:41,390
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: system underpinning the national education plan actually sit and who is accountable for funding

7536
07:49:41,390 --> 07:49:52,030
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: it sinagot na ni ano then uh pertaining sa cso na nfl kmg pertaining to the labor loss

7537
07:49:52,030 --> 07:49:59,650
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: compliance and inspection program the question is uh so with this budget fund of 1.283b expansion

7538
07:49:59,650 --> 07:50:05,590
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: of the labor loss compliance and inspection program and how many of the 763 inspectors who

7539
07:50:05,590 --> 07:50:11,130
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: exist on paper were not inspecting with it finally put to work because right now the

7540
07:50:11,400 --> 07:50:16,400
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: because right now the convention we just ratified is a promise we cannot enforce.

7541
07:50:16,400 --> 07:50:23,700
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: perhaps this is this is uh the reverse i think we're now uh in the threshold of nearly 700 labor

7542
07:50:23,730 --> 07:50:32,810
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: inspectors working uh the the balance would be those who are taking a re-examination because

7543
07:50:32,810 --> 07:50:41,110
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: the the reason before why they why there was a lag is because the examination was

7544
07:50:41,110 --> 07:50:51,570
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to tough and toro not related to labor laws uh for instance a geographical description about

7545
07:50:51,570 --> 07:50:59,810
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: of a place that is not uh relative to related to labor law so i think the framing of the question

7546
07:50:59,810 --> 07:51:08,970
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: would uh somehow be uh would need correction because we just ratified a convention uh which

7547
07:51:08,970 --> 07:51:10,010
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: because we just ratified a convention which we promised but cannot enforce.

7548
07:51:10,850 --> 07:51:17,090
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: even before the ratification your honor of the convention uh the labor inspectorate system has

7549
07:51:17,090 --> 07:51:24,850
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: been working so right now it's only a matter of reinforcing the same and putting on putting more

7550
07:51:24,850 --> 07:51:33,810
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: muscle and manpower and perhaps the appropriate funding requirements uh in place but just the same

7551
07:51:33,810 --> 07:51:35,710
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to the one who asked the question

7552
07:51:35,710 --> 07:51:37,510
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ginagawa naman poon lahat

7553
07:51:37,510 --> 07:51:40,590
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: tama lang po itong datos nyo na napakahirap

7554
07:51:40,590 --> 07:51:43,630
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ah barely one inspector for forty thousand

7555
07:51:43,630 --> 07:51:45,270
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: oh may hirap talaga iyon

7556
07:51:45,270 --> 07:51:57,090
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: so pipilitin po natin madagdagan iyong mga inspectors basi po sa kanila qualifikasyon

7557
07:51:57,090 --> 07:51:58,580
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: at examination results. Anything to add?

7571
07:52:49,580 --> 07:52:56,100
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Now, for the final two questions, which are directly addressed to the secretaries of DOLE and TESDA.

7572
07:52:56,500 --> 07:53:05,140
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: First, to Secretary Francis Tolentino, there's two questions, sir.

7573
07:53:05,560 --> 07:53:08,280
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: A and B, I will read out first the first question.

7574
07:53:08,820 --> 07:53:09,800
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: From FSL Nation.

7575
07:53:09,820 --> 07:53:26,540
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: How was the department complied with previously and prospectively for 2027 for the mandate of RA 10524 on quotas for hiring on persons with disabilities, specifically deaf persons?

7576
07:53:26,540 --> 07:53:39,460
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: And kadugtongponon B is how many plantilia permanent other positions for deaf persons and FSL interpreters have been previously in the past years or prospectively appropriated?

7577
07:53:39,820 --> 07:53:41,260
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: For 2027.

7578
07:53:44,840 --> 07:53:48,600
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Persons with more longevity.

7579
07:53:50,360 --> 07:53:50,680
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Yes.

7580
07:53:51,200 --> 07:53:53,160
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Yusek Warren, you're recognized.

7581
07:53:53,160 --> 07:54:03,100
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: With the permission of the secretary, actually, sir, we do comply with the said Republic Act.

7582
07:54:03,980 --> 07:54:09,380
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: And at the moment, we have in the central office two PWDs.

7583
07:54:09,880 --> 07:54:12,420
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: These persons are given.

7584
07:54:12,660 --> 07:54:14,480
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Equal opportunities for work.

7585
07:54:14,860 --> 07:54:20,540
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: And if we have vacancies and they are being posted, everybody is welcome as long as qualified for the position.

7586
07:54:21,120 --> 07:54:24,360
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: And for our regions, we'll probably get the data.

7587
07:54:25,140 --> 07:54:25,860
DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat: Thank you, sir.

7588
07:54:26,640 --> 07:54:30,860
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: So the specific question, Yusek Warren, you said that there's two EWDs, right?

7589
07:54:31,420 --> 07:54:36,120
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: But the question is if there are other positions for deaf persons.

7590
07:54:36,120 --> 07:54:40,900
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Anyway, you can just give the data so that we can give the correct data to the committee secretary.

7591
07:54:41,380 --> 07:54:42,640
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: And we will give it to the CSOs.

7592
07:54:42,660 --> 07:54:44,020
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: All right.

7593
07:54:44,520 --> 07:54:47,820
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: And now for TESDA, final and last question.

7594
07:54:48,680 --> 07:54:58,520
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: How much did your agency appropriate for 2026 for the FSL interpreting to make all your training programs accessible and inclusive for deaf clients?

7595
07:54:59,160 --> 07:55:11,500
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Prospectively for 2027, following implementation of RA 12199, particularly for the training program for child development workers or ECCDs, has the IRR been issued?

7596
07:55:12,660 --> 07:55:21,980
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: This is for, Mr. Chair, just for clarification, this is, again, for the training of the deaf, including for ECCD.

7597
07:55:27,480 --> 07:55:28,100
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Mr. Chair?

7598
07:55:30,530 --> 07:55:30,870
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Sorry.

7599
07:55:33,330 --> 07:55:38,810
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: This is including for training of the deaf for ECCD as well.

7600
07:55:39,170 --> 07:55:42,790
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: I'm sorry, I missed the, were there two parts to the question?

7601
07:55:43,630 --> 07:55:48,870
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: The last part was prospectively for 2027, following implementation of RA 12199.

7602
07:55:49,350 --> 07:55:57,590
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Particularly for the training program for child development workers for ECCDs, has the IRR been issued?

7603
07:55:58,450 --> 07:56:01,110
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, I'll start with the second part.

7604
07:56:01,330 --> 07:56:01,750

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So this is the IRR for the amendments to the ECCD law, and it has been signed into law.

7606
07:56:11,410 --> 07:56:15,610
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, I mean, the IRR has actually been promulgated already.

7607
07:56:16,910 --> 07:56:18,850
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So, to the first question.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: And TESDA is now about to embark on the training of trainers, so that we can have as widespread infrastructure as possible for the training modules for Philippine sign language.

7610
07:56:45,490 --> 07:56:46,430
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Mr. Chair?

7611
07:56:46,430 --> 07:56:48,830
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Thank you, Secretary Kiko.

7612
07:56:54,340 --> 07:57:05,820
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: So, Secretariat, ComSec, can you please gather all the data that was necessary for us to be able to furnish the CSOs that have been asking questions?

7613
07:57:06,620 --> 07:57:09,500
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: And for everyone's knowledge, that was the final question.

7614
07:57:10,160 --> 07:57:21,740
Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: And I will just suspend our hearing, because when we return, I will relinquish my chair and give it to the Chairman of the Appropriations Committee.

7615
08:00:20,050 --> 08:00:24,190
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Good evening po to our Dole family and TESDA family.

7616
08:00:24,930 --> 08:00:32,730
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I wanted to be here to make sure this is the last committee hearing for this run of the budget cycle.

7617
08:00:32,870 --> 08:00:37,190
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We just finished with DSWD and ito po ang ating grand finale.

7618
08:00:37,930 --> 08:00:41,870
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's the hearing of Dole and TESDA.

7619
08:00:42,070 --> 08:00:45,290
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So that's why I wanted to make sure po to be here for the closing.

08:00:55,030 --> 08:00:57,090
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So we've been running for 8 hours po.

7625
08:00:57,150 --> 08:01:00,390
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So I don't want to lengthen the discussions further.

7626
08:01:00,870 --> 08:01:10,390
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think a lot of our colleagues raised a lot of the concerns, their commendation and all for Dole and TESDA.

7627
08:01:10,990 --> 08:01:14,810
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And Kong Romel will be here with you po up until the plenary.

7629
08:01:18,410 --> 08:01:24,390
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we'll work together po to be able to address those before the plenary.

7630
08:01:25,030 --> 08:01:33,810
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And before I go any further, I would like to commend and say thank you to our budget sponsors who are here today.

7631
08:01:34,330 --> 08:01:38,830
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you for your exemplary leadership in today's deliberations.

7632
08:01:39,250 --> 08:01:43,330
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Of course, for the Dole family, Vice Chair Romel Angara,

7633
08:01:43,810 --> 08:01:47,350
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and for the TESDA family, Vice Chair Angela Gila Garcia.

7634
08:01:47,350 --> 08:01:48,250
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

7635
08:01:48,250 --> 08:01:49,090
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much po.

7636
08:01:49,210 --> 08:02:00,830
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We left you, Sec Kiko and Sec Tolentino, in very capable hands.

7637
08:02:01,110 --> 08:02:07,990
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: They were the ones who also shepherded the passage of the budget of Dole and TESDA last year.

7638
08:02:08,350 --> 08:02:11,050
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And by this year po, experts na sila.

7639
08:02:11,250 --> 08:02:16,670
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So you are in very great hands with Vice Chair Angara and Vice Chair Garcia po.

7640
08:02:16,670 --> 08:02:18,070
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And siguro po, too.

7641
08:02:18,070 --> 08:02:20,790
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So just to encapsulate today's discussions,

7642
08:02:21,150 --> 08:02:29,050
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I wanted to give our secretaries the opportunity to, again,

7643
08:02:29,890 --> 08:02:32,830
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: advocate for items that may need to be restored

7644
08:02:32,830 --> 08:02:36,730
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the consideration of the Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee.

7645
08:02:37,730 --> 08:02:45,430
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So siguro po, Secretary Tolentino, I have here the request letter from DOLE

7646
08:02:45,430 --> 08:02:47,430
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pertaining to the...

7647
08:02:48,070 --> 08:02:53,150
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the additional allocation for TUPAD and GIP.

7648
08:02:53,710 --> 08:02:57,790
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So SEC, if I may request you to please reiterate

7649
08:02:57,790 --> 08:03:05,530
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the, perhaps, the implications of not being able to restore this back to the 2026 GAA level.

7650
08:03:05,970 --> 08:03:13,630
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because ang nangyari po, I saw in the NEP that instead of the 21 billion allocation

7651
08:03:13,630 --> 08:03:16,430
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as reflected in the 2026 GAA,

7652
08:03:16,430 --> 08:03:20,570
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sa 2027 na po, bumalik sa 11 billion.

7653
08:03:20,850 --> 08:03:23,430
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So that represents a reduction of 10 billion peso.

7654
08:03:23,630 --> 08:03:28,750
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So if you may please enlighten the committee as to the potential impact

7655
08:03:28,750 --> 08:03:33,570
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of not being able to restore this 10 billion pesos po in the [unclear].

7656
08:03:34,690 --> 08:03:40,470
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I think, Your Honor, that should be read in conjunction with the recently released

7657
08:03:40,470 --> 08:03:46,230
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: labor force survey showing a decline in employment rate,

7658
08:03:46,430 --> 08:03:57,690
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: as well as a, I think it's almost 2% increase in the labor force.

7659
08:03:57,690 --> 08:04:09,160
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So the said programs initiated in that communication would address these gaps that,

7660
08:04:09,160 --> 08:04:12,160
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: muntik na naman akong 'this representation',

7661
08:04:12,820 --> 08:04:17,760
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: that this department feel would have to be continued.

7662
08:04:17,960 --> 08:04:21,280
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: It is also very interesting, if we look at the GIP, the TUPAD,

7663
08:04:22,100 --> 08:04:26,120
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: because of the uncertainties we're facing globally,

7664
08:04:27,060 --> 08:04:32,160
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: even immediately after the U.S. midterm elections,

7665
08:04:33,060 --> 08:04:38,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: science would show that the effects of the Iran war would still be there.

7666
08:04:38,820 --> 08:04:45,740
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And we feel that the drastic decline, cut,

7667
08:04:46,820 --> 08:04:47,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to be sustained,

7668
08:04:47,960 --> 08:04:56,500
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to be imposed on the said program would be felt even in the countrysides.

7669
08:04:57,260 --> 08:05:03,820
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: A while ago, we were talking about the tweaking, the innovation of the Tupad.

7670
08:05:04,420 --> 08:05:07,800
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We've seen a lot of improvement, especially in the education sector,

7671
08:05:08,480 --> 08:05:14,460
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: wherein tutors, mentors are now being exposed via the Tupad program

7672
08:05:14,460 --> 08:05:21,580
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to increase the quality of education for grade 1, 2, and 3 pupils.

7673
08:05:22,100 --> 08:05:28,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We now see returning OFWs hand-in-hand with our partnership with TESDA through SECICO,

7674
08:05:29,420 --> 08:05:32,580
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: the reintegration program, and a lot of other things.

7675
08:05:32,580 --> 08:05:42,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: All these mechanisms would probably falter if we have a drastic decline

7676
08:05:42,440 --> 08:05:44,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: in the allocation for the programs, Your Honor.

7677
08:05:44,460 --> 08:05:46,460
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Iyon po siguro ang tenor ng naturang sulat.

7678
08:05:46,460 --> 08:05:51,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Subalit kanina mayroon din akong request for

7679
08:05:51,940 --> 08:05:59,420
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Earlier, I also requested for an additional 125 million for labor justice.

7680
08:05:59,420 --> 08:06:08,020
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: It is only a small amount to fulfill the dream, not only for me but for others,

7681
08:06:08,020 --> 08:06:14,100
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to have a strong academy, school, and finishing school.

7682
08:06:14,100 --> 08:06:22,100
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Our mediators, conciliators, arbiters, commissioners who provide justice for our workers.

7683
08:06:22,100 --> 08:06:28,260
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: The same is the need to have more labor attorneys.

7684
08:06:28,260 --> 08:06:30,880
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We have PAO now.

7685
08:06:31,280 --> 08:06:37,540
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Madam Chairperson, it is only 75 million, not a lot.

7686
08:06:38,420 --> 08:06:43,580
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, all in all, I sent communications to Chairman,

7687
08:06:44,100 --> 08:06:49,100
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Jolo, to the Speaker, and to Vice Chair Angara concerning this.

7688
08:06:49,220 --> 08:06:56,180
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I consider labor justice as a primordial function of DOLE.

7689
08:06:56,180 --> 08:07:03,260
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Bigyan ng karapat-dapat na karapatan, kilalanin ang manggagawang Pilipino

7690
08:07:03,260 --> 08:07:11,440
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na itinuturing nating pawis ng Pilipino, puso ng bansa.

7691
08:07:12,680 --> 08:07:13,540
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Thank you very much.

7692
08:07:14,100 --> 08:07:17,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, Secretary Tolentino.

7693
08:07:17,300 --> 08:07:20,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If I may request for pertaining to the labor justice,

7694
08:07:21,580 --> 08:07:26,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if you may submit another letter, maybe containing both,

7695
08:07:26,780 --> 08:07:35,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the additional request for TUPAD amounting to 10.25 billion additional,

7696
08:07:35,540 --> 08:07:43,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and then the 125 million as described by the Secretary pertaining to Labor Attorney's Office.

7697
08:07:43,260 --> 08:07:44,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, if...

7698
08:07:44,100 --> 08:07:45,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We may request for both items.

7699
08:07:45,740 --> 08:07:50,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Anything else, Sec, aside from the additional allocation for TUPAD

7700
08:07:50,560 --> 08:07:54,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and for the Labor Attorney's Office on the side of DOLE?

7701
08:07:54,860 --> 08:07:56,160
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We will comply, Your Honor.

7702
08:07:56,320 --> 08:07:58,660
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We already have a copy of the folder.

7703
08:08:01,660 --> 08:08:04,660
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Here it is, it's already up to you, your additional folder.

7704
08:08:06,080 --> 08:08:11,040
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Your Honors, there are pending requests with...

7705
08:08:11,880 --> 08:08:12,960
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And this got the...

7706
08:08:12,960 --> 08:08:15,040

08:08:15,040 --> 08:08:16,080
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: of the Department of Labor.

7708
08:08:16,280 --> 08:08:17,280
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, Foreign Affairs.

7709
08:08:17,980 --> 08:08:24,360
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Sa darating puntaon, as I've mentioned earlier, early this afternoon,

7710
08:08:24,360 --> 08:08:30,980
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: tayo po ang mamumuno ng International Labour Council ng ILO sa Geneva.

7711
08:08:31,980 --> 08:08:38,600
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Simula po noon nawala yung puder sa Department of Employment

7712

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: at napunta sa Department of Migrant Workers iyong mga labor attach?s.

7713

7714
08:08:45,180 --> 08:08:49,260
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sa base sa mga liham na pinadala namin sa DBM,

7715
08:08:49,680 --> 08:08:52,500
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na magkaroon man lang tayo ng kahit isang desk

7716
08:08:52,500 --> 08:08:59,340
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na puwedeng magpagawa ng calling card na labor attach? sa Geneva.

7718
08:09:06,200 --> 08:09:09,540
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: At sa Washington, D.C., yung po yung tatlong hinihiling namin,

7719
08:09:09,680 --> 08:09:14,180
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: hindi kalakihan, umaabot lang po ito sa aming pananaw,

7720
08:09:14,180 --> 08:09:15,160
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: abunado pa sila.

7721
08:09:15,180 --> 08:09:21,920
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: 137 milyon sa tatlong tao na ipoposte sa naturang tatlong lugar

7722
08:09:21,920 --> 08:09:32,420
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to coordinate labor policy issues including maritime conventions among others

7723
08:09:32,420 --> 08:09:35,040
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na sa ngayon po ay meron tayong void.

7724
08:09:36,580 --> 08:09:39,420
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Isang desk lang po ang dadalin doon, isang tao,

7725
08:09:39,960 --> 08:09:42,940
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na meron naman sigurong subsistence allowance.

7726
08:09:42,940 --> 08:09:43,020
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yes.

7727
08:09:44,060 --> 08:09:45,140
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Sabi ko nga doon,

7728
08:09:45,180 --> 08:09:47,700
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: sa ambasador, doon na lang kahit matulog sa embahada,

7733
08:09:55,140 --> 08:09:59,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I don't know if the second folder already contained the ILO request.

7734
08:10:00,540 --> 08:10:03,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So we'll just wait for those, Sec.

7737
08:10:13,560 --> 08:10:14,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So we'll, we'll,

7738
08:10:14,300 --> 08:10:18,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: just so we can have all of these under deliberation, po.

7739
08:10:19,140 --> 08:10:20,300
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yes, Your Honor, we'll submit.

7740
08:10:20,300 --> 08:10:20,800
DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ugma.

7741
08:10:21,220 --> 08:10:23,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, po, Sec. Tolentino.

7742
08:10:23,060 --> 08:10:27,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sec Kiko, I will also give the floor to you po.

7743
08:10:27,720 --> 08:10:35,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I have here, as shared with me by Kong Gila, an additional 4.7 billion request.

7744
08:10:35,100 --> 08:10:36,380
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: 5.3, po.

7745
08:10:37,220 --> 08:10:37,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry?

7746
08:10:37,720 --> 08:10:38,220
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Nadagdagan.

7747
08:10:38,220 --> 08:10:39,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Oh, it's updated.

7748
08:10:39,060 --> 08:10:42,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Opo, it's 5.3 billion with these items, po.

7749
08:10:42,600 --> 08:10:51,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, essentially, po, they described it as yung mga na-restore po natin last year.

7750
08:10:51,260 --> 08:10:54,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Essentially, it's these items, po.

7751
08:10:55,080 --> 08:10:56,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ito po iyong SP-STEP, [unclear].

7752
08:10:58,660 --> 08:11:00,700
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: May dalawang dagdag po sa baba.

7753
08:11:01,160 --> 08:11:03,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yeah, actually, Sec, I was gonna ask about that.

7754
08:11:04,140 --> 08:11:06,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Zero siya, totally, in the NEP.

7755
08:11:06,000 --> 08:11:09,480
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Because it's a new proposal, no?

7756
08:11:09,480 --> 08:11:13,880
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: To make sure, ma'am, that we have the aligned senior high school teachers

7757
08:11:13,880 --> 08:11:14,480
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: for the effectiveness.

7758
08:11:14,540 --> 08:11:17,840
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: for the effectivity of the rollout for grade 12 in this coming year.

7759
08:11:18,980 --> 08:11:21,360
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Not this school year, but the following school year

7760
08:11:21,360 --> 08:11:22,880
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: for the TEC Pro curriculum.

7761
08:11:23,240 --> 08:11:28,160
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: This is designed to make sure that the teachers within DepEd

7762
08:11:28,160 --> 08:11:30,080
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: or within senior high school in general

7763
08:11:30,080 --> 08:11:34,800
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: have the appropriate NCs as well as the TVET learning

7764
08:11:34,800 --> 08:11:38,180
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: so that they can, in fact, be appropriately assessed.

7765
08:11:38,580 --> 08:11:44,300
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Because one of the major obstacles, ma'am, in the senior high school assessment

7766
08:11:44,520 --> 08:11:48,980
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: has been, in fact, that there are insufficient DepEd

7767
08:11:48,980 --> 08:11:52,900
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: or senior high school teachers with the appropriate training

7768
08:11:52,900 --> 08:11:54,460
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and certification from TESDA.

7769
08:11:55,520 --> 08:11:57,460
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So this is meant to cure that, no?

7770
08:11:57,980 --> 08:12:00,940
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: And the second, ma'am, is an extension, again,

7771
08:12:00,940 --> 08:12:04,880
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: with regards to stunting primarily

7772
08:12:04,880 --> 08:12:09,060
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to include barangay health workers and nutrition scholars

7773
08:12:09,060 --> 08:12:14,060
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: for the expansion of the early childhood care and development initiative.

7774
08:12:14,060 --> 08:12:17,340
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: That was started in 2025 and 2026.

7775
08:12:18,220 --> 08:12:22,700
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So in those two cases, ma'am, it's meant to help respond, in fact,

7776
08:12:22,760 --> 08:12:25,260
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to the EDCOM findings and to the NAP plan.

7777
08:12:25,380 --> 08:12:27,200
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: There was a question earlier.

7778
08:12:28,120 --> 08:12:33,860
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The request of 5.3 is really just to get us back to the GAA level

7779
08:12:33,860 --> 08:12:36,740
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: that we had for 2026.

7780
08:12:37,340 --> 08:12:40,800
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Rather than have a shrinkage, if you like,

7781
08:12:40,800 --> 08:12:43,220
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: of the number of learners that we would,

7782
08:12:44,060 --> 08:12:46,880
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: be able to serve in accordance, again,

7783
08:12:47,180 --> 08:12:49,560
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: with the initiatives we agreed to in the NAP plan.

7784
08:12:50,800 --> 08:12:52,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, po, Sekiko.

7785
08:12:52,740 --> 08:12:56,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If I may ask, po, these two, the last two items,

7786
08:12:57,320 --> 08:13:00,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: were these at all included in the proposal to DBM?

7787
08:13:00,880 --> 08:13:03,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Or sobrang bago po siya na hindi na siya nasama?

7788
08:13:03,560 --> 08:13:04,580
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Sobrang bago po siya.

7789
08:13:04,660 --> 08:13:06,100
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: It had a different flavor.

7790
08:13:06,820 --> 08:13:09,100
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: We extracted them when we were asked to prioritize

7791
08:13:09,620 --> 08:13:11,940
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: what was not given in the Tier 2.

7792
08:13:12,840 --> 08:13:13,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Okay, po.

7793
08:13:13,380 --> 08:13:14,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Sekiko.

7794
08:13:14,060 --> 08:13:17,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If I may request din, po, by 12 noon tomorrow,

7795
08:13:18,080 --> 08:13:20,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: a little bit last minute,

7796
08:13:20,340 --> 08:13:23,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kasa lang po, kailangan po namin ma-collate

7797
08:13:23,780 --> 08:13:26,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: lahat po ng mga requests for institutional amendments

7798
08:13:26,300 --> 08:13:27,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from all of the different agencies.

7799
08:13:28,240 --> 08:13:31,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So we have time po to deliberate on the side of the BARC.

7800
08:13:31,760 --> 08:13:32,100
TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Okay.

7801
08:13:32,500 --> 08:13:37,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think those are the, I just wanted to clarify those, po,

7802
08:13:37,120 --> 08:13:40,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: before we end today's deliberations.

7803
08:13:41,420 --> 08:13:43,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Given that there are no other interpolators,

7804
08:13:44,060 --> 08:13:47,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: are there any more?

7805
08:13:47,920 --> 08:13:48,100
