00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:33.520 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: And this growth is dependent on having a workforce capable of carrying it out. asr-000422 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. asr-000423 00:36:42.180 --> 00:36:54.520 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco

asr-000431 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, asr-000432 00:37:42.180 --> 00:37:43.180 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: in 2025, is at 81.64%. asr-000433 00:37:43.180 --> 00:37:51.420 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: And TESDA,

the quality of the jobs of the employees that our trainees asr-000435 00:37:58.100 --> 00:38:03.940 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: may receive after our training, as well as to track

Benitez: In addition to our slots of face-to-face, we also have 1.6 million learners that have asr-000445 00:38:25.010 --> 00:38:30.430 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: enrolled in 225

We also have an ongoing convergence asr-000454 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 asr-000455 00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:41.120 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: scalability. asr-000456 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 asr-000457 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 asr-000458 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 asr-000459 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, asr-000460 00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:11.460 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and will be available in the next few years. asr-000461 00:40:11.460 --> 00:40:11.480 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Thank you. asr-000462 00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:17.480 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: With our convergence with DMW and OWWA increasing in number. asr-000463 00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:26.100 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Next is our free assessment for senior high school learners.

Perhaps worth asr-000466 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. asr-000467 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 asr-000468 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 asr-000469 00:41:09.720 --> 00:41:10.820 TESDA

Benitez: This is meant asr-000471 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 asr-000472 00:41:21.820 --> 00:41:27.500 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: the curriculum of Dep Ed for senior high school. asr-000473 00:41:27.500 --> 00:41:34.560 TESDA Secretary Jose

more and more diploma programs will open across the country asr-000477 00:41:56.720 --> 00:42:07.520 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: as the option of a seamless pathway across that

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 asr-000482 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 asr-000483 00:42:47.600 --> 00:42:55.680 TESDA Secretary Jose

been pointed out by dole lower than the ga of 2026. next slide more or less the fund asr-000485 00:43:09.950 --> 00:43:14.510 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: utilization by August of 2026 asr-000486 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, asr-000487 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. asr-000488 00:43:27.230 --> 00:43:35.880 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So for the final, perhaps most important slide, Mr. Chair, asr-000489 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, asr-000490 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. asr-000491 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 asr-000492 00:43:56.060 --> 00:43:59.760 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: to serve an additional 162,000 learners. asr-000493 00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:08.540 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: For the

Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: And this one, Mr. Chair, is perhaps the most important. asr-000497 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 asr-000498 00:44:35.180 --> 00:44:38.360 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: of $2.4 billion for an additional... asr-000499

--> 00:45:07.500 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: and commensurate funding should be provided.

Angara: Buhay na buhay ang ating committee hearings pag nandito po siya. asr-000539 00:47:28.630 --> 00:47:34.710 Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: So, with that said, we go straight right away to the interpolations and discussions. asr-000540 00:47:35.650 --> 00:47:43.370 Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: And may I remind our distinguished colleagues that each member is allotted five minutes for questions or interpolation. asr-000541 00:47:44.330 --> 00:47:52.930 Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Excluding the responses of the resource persons, when the bell sounds, the member has 30 seconds to conclude. asr-000542 00:47:53.590 --> 00:47:58.230 Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Consistent with the longstanding practice of the House of the Chair, we shall recognize the minority. asr-000543 00:47:58.630 --> 00:48:04.490 Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Independent, and the majority members in an alternating manner, when practicable. asr-000544 00:48:05.190 --> 00:48:11.510 Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: The Chair first recognizes the Honorable Elijah San Fernando from the minority. asr-000545 00:48:12.510 --> 00:48:13.250 Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: You have the floor, sir. asr-000546 00:48:13.530 --> 00:48:14.310 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Thank you, Mr. Chair. asr-000547 00:48:14.430 --> 00:48:17.570 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Firstly, we would like to convey our support for the budget of TESDA. asr-000548 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. asr-000549 00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:29.960 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: For TESDA. asr-000550 00:48:32.250 --> 00:48:32.870 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: That's another. asr-000551 00:48:32.890 --> 00:48:33.390 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: That's another topic. asr-000552 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, asr-000553 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. asr-000554 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? asr-000555 00:48:53.890 --> 00:48:55.950 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: This is answerable by yes or no, Mr. Chair. asr-000556 00:48:57.210 --> 00:48:58.470 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I'm not aware. Therefore, it's no. asr-000557 00:48:59.190 --> 00:49:00.830 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, hindi po nakapaglagak. asr-000558 00:49:00.830 --> 00:49:01.930 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I'm not aware of this. asr-000559 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. asr-000560 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. asr-000561 00:49:12.930 --> 00:49:14.450 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Secretary, tama po yan. asr-000562 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. asr-000563 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. asr-000564 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. asr-000565 00:49:40.230 --> 00:49:43.990 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Therefore, in effect, ang Wage Order No. 27. asr-000566 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? asr-000567 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. asr-000568 00:50:00.630 --> 00:50:01.970 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Therefore, we are in unison. asr-000569 00:50:02.210 --> 00:50:06.030 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: With the legal position of the Office of the Solicitor General. asr-000570 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, asr-000571 00:50:18.530 --> 00:50:23.430 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: which I totally agree, sans a posting of a bond. asr-000572 00:50:24.350 --> 00:50:27.770 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: The writ is not in order, Your Honor. asr-000573 00:50:28.150 --> 00:50:31.550 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: If that is the case, Secretary, bakit hindi po ipatupad? asr-000574 00:50:32.210 --> 00:50:35.530 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ng Department of Labor and Employment yung Wage Order No. 27. asr-000575 00:50:36.270 --> 00:50:37.690 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ikaw po mismo ang nagsasabi. asr-000576 00:50:38.430 --> 00:50:42.710 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Na kinikilala nyo ang posisyon ng gobyerno, no bond, no injunction. asr-000577 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. asr-000578 00:50:52.470 --> 00:50:53.910 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary. asr-000579 00:50:55.710 --> 00:51:00.010 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Mr. Chairman, Your Honor, members of this committee, asr-000580 00:51:02.210 --> 00:51:04.230 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Department of Labor, asr-000581 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. asr-000582 00:51:21.630 --> 00:51:27.990 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Naniniwala po tayo sa mga inilabas na desisyon ng Korte Suprema. asr-000583 00:51:28.350 --> 00:51:32.190 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kabilang na po ang LCK versus Pagbilao Development Corporation, asr-000584 00:51:32.210 --> 00:51:41.370 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: G.R. 195374, 19 March 2014, which I quote: asr-000585 00:51:44.380 --> 00:51:47.420 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: The Supreme Court questioned us, asr-000586 00:51:47.940 --> 00:51:51.160 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I mean us, not just the executive branch, asr-000587 00:51:51.880 --> 00:51:56.540 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: against treating a bond defect, including the non-filing thereof, asr-000588 00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:03.120 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: not as an automatic license to disregard injunctive relief. asr-000591 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. asr-000592 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, asr-000593 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. asr-000594 00:52:33.340 --> 00:52:35.800 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang ibig pong sabihin, Your Honor, asr-000595 00:52:35.980 --> 00:52:40.800 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: If there is a facial court restraint which is outstanding, asr-000596 00:52:41.580 --> 00:52:48.580 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: the affected party should obtain a judicial declaration of that consequence asr-000597 00:52:48.580 --> 00:52:53.900 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: rather than conclusively deciding the matter for itself. asr-000598 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, asr-000599 00:53:00.060 --> 00:53:05.360 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi po ang dole, hindi po ang litigants. asr-000600 00:53:05.980 --> 00:53:09.960 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang magdi-desisyon kung mali ang proseso. asr-000601 00:53:10.660 --> 00:53:13.980 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang magdi-desisyon po nito ay ang husgado. asr-000602 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, asr-000603 00:53:21.900 --> 00:53:27.240 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and that does not automatically void any previous injunction, asr-000604 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. asr-000605 00:53:32.180 --> 00:53:35.840 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: That's why, Your Honor, we filed this, September 3, asr-000606 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. asr-000607 00:53:42.080 --> 00:53:42.820 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yes, Mr. Secretary. asr-000608 00:53:42.820 --> 00:53:43.840 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: I-resolve na nila. asr-000609 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. asr-000610 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, asr-000611 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. asr-000612 00:54:04.040 --> 00:54:05.320 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: For instance, asr-000613 00:54:05.980 --> 00:54:11.140 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: nung katadaan lang pong habagat, Your Honor, marami nakikinig ngayon, asr-000614 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, asr-000615 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, asr-000616 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. asr-000617 00:54:29.320 --> 00:54:32.960 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Sa criminal case, meron po tayo sa rules of court. asr-000618 00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:35.120 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: If a crime is being committed, asr-000619 00:54:35.980 --> 00:54:37.720 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: one's presence, you can arrest. asr-000620 00:54:38.340 --> 00:54:39.460 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: That's a citizen's arrest. asr-000621 00:54:39.600 --> 00:54:41.640 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: That's a doctrine of self-help. asr-000622 00:54:42.100 --> 00:54:43.260 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Konti-konti lang po yan. asr-000623 00:54:43.400 --> 00:54:49.220 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Subalit, Your Honor, there is no comparable doctrine, general doctrine, asr-000624 00:54:49.740 --> 00:54:53.880 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: authorizing a litigant or a government agency, including the DOLE, asr-000625 00:54:54.420 --> 00:54:58.820 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to substitute its own judgment for that of a court, asr-000626 00:54:58.820 --> 00:55:04.820 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: and unilaterally treat a judicial injunction as nonexistent, asr-000627 00:55:04.820 --> 00:55:08.540 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: merely because it believes, as I believe, asr-000628 00:55:08.980 --> 00:55:14.040 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: that the bond requirement has not been satisfied. asr-000629 00:55:14.540 --> 00:55:15.180 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Chair, asr-000630 00:55:15.540 --> 00:55:16.600 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: yung po yung... asr-000631 00:55:16.600 --> 00:55:16.980 Rep.

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. asr-001410 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. asr-001411 02:00:22.000 --> 02:00:27.940 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So yung Administrative Order 264 clarified prospectively. asr-001412 02:00:27.940 --> 02:00:36.520 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: What they should do, including monitoring, execution, and implementation. asr-001413 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. asr-001414 02:00:44.320 --> 02:00:48.640 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pero hindi pa rin siguro natin masasawat na lahat. asr-001415 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, asr-001416 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. asr-001417 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, asr-001418 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? asr-001419 02:01:24.580 --> 02:01:26.980 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Paninindigan po natin yan dahil klaro na po ngayon. asr-001420 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. asr-001421 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. asr-001422 02:01:46.860 --> 02:01:49.720 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So balit dito ay maliwanag na kung ano yung mga gagawin. asr-001423 02:01:49.720 --> 02:01:53.920 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So sa paninindigan, dati na po naman natin pinanindigan. asr-001424 02:01:54.380 --> 02:01:56.720 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So balit ngayon mas matibay po yung pinangahawakan natin. asr-001425 02:01:57.000 --> 02:02:02.640 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ng mga regional wage boards, pinangahawakan nila na dapat talagang ipatupad. asr-001426 02:02:03.000 --> 02:02:06.220 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: At yan po ang abangan at babantayan po ng ating mga manggagawa. asr-001427 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. asr-001428 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. asr-001429 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, asr-001430 02:02:27.000 --> 02:02:29.480 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ng Robinsons Supermarket Corporation. asr-001431 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. asr-001432 02:02:37.240 --> 02:02:39.360 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: So ito po ay malinaw na union busting. asr-001433 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? asr-001434 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, asr-001435 02:02:57.000 --> 02:02:58.040 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Assistant Secretaries. asr-001436 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. asr-001437 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. asr-001438 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. asr-001439 02:03:22.240 --> 02:03:23.460 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi ko alam kung saan siya nakatayo. asr-001440 02:03:24.380 --> 02:03:26.980 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Si Asek Kati, can you provide some details? asr-001441 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. asr-001442 02:03:46.260 --> 02:03:47.520 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Go ahead, Asek Kati. asr-001443 02:03:50.000 --> 02:03:54.540 DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado: Mr. Chair, Your Honors, good afternoon po. asr-001444 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. asr-001445 02:04:11.840 --> 02:04:13.040 DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado: Ang NCMB po ang nakaka- asr-001446 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. asr-001447 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… asr-001448 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. asr-001449 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. asr-001450 02:04:40.580 --> 02:04:44.680 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Nakita po ba natin ito, yung pronouncement na ito, mismo ng DHL? asr-001451 02:04:44.920 --> 02:04:46.000 DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado: Hindi po, Your Honor. asr-001452 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? asr-001453 02:04:53.060 --> 02:04:54.520 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kaya po, yung isa po sa tanong. asr-001454 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? asr-001455 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. asr-001456 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. asr-001457 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. asr-001458 02:05:39.060 --> 02:05:42.160 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Nakababahala po, Mr. Chair, na isa itong malinaw na union busting. asr-001459 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? asr-001460 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. asr-001461 02:05:53.380 --> 02:05:54.080 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Natapakan ang karapatanan. asr-001462 02:05:54.540 --> 02:05:57.460 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: But let me move on to another issue. asr-001463 02:05:58.160 --> 02:06:00.260 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Puta naman po tayo sa issue ng NEA. asr-001464 02:06:00.740 --> 02:06:06.360 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: We appreciate DOLE for establishing the Electric Cooperative Industry Tripartite Council. asr-001465 02:06:06.800 --> 02:06:08.960 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Dahil matagal na itong demand ng labor movement. asr-001466 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. asr-001467 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? asr-001468 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? asr-001469 02:06:36.760 --> 02:06:39.800 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: May kinakausap kasi. asr-001470 02:06:39.800 --> 02:06:41.260 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ako ni Congressman Vergara, asr-001471 02:06:41.320 --> 02:06:42.560 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: But I can respond. I can respond. asr-001472 02:06:42.660 --> 02:06:43.240 Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara: Okay, go ahead. asr-001473 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, asr-001474 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, asr-001475 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. asr-001476 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. asr-001477 02:07:14.680 --> 02:07:18.220 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We understood, we took note of their concerns. asr-001478 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. asr-001479 02:07:26.020 --> 02:07:27.020 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Meron naman na... asr-001480 02:07:28.020 --> 02:07:28.600 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Maliliit. asr-001481 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 asr-001482 02:07:38.280 --> 02:07:41.120 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: na nakikinabang din pag merong dinidistribute. asr-001483 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. asr-001484 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... asr-001485 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. asr-001486 02:08:05.780 --> 02:08:11.420 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So, yung ganun pong aspeto ay ang aming pinag-uusapan ngayon. asr-001487 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. asr-001488 02:08:17.180 --> 02:08:22.180 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: May commitment po si NEA Administrator Almeda patungkol po dito. asr-001489 02:08:22.900 --> 02:08:26.400 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary, gusto ko lang pong balaan kayo. asr-001490 02:08:26.500 --> 02:08:27.180 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ito pong si Director asr-001491 02:08:28.020 --> 02:08:30.700 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Almeda, isang taon pa pong nangako sa amin dito sa Kongreso. asr-001492 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 asr-001493 02:08:35.580 --> 02:08:38.740 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: in the CBA of our workers' unions in this cooperative. asr-001494 02:08:39.000 --> 02:08:42.300 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: So, ang pakiusap po namin, while waiting for the tripartite policy, asr-001495 02:08:42.300 --> 02:08:45.540 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: baka pwede po magbigay ng issuean sa DOLE para sa ganun po. asr-001496 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 asr-001497 02:08:51.680 --> 02:08:53.900 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: pwede ting sa electric co-op industry. asr-001498 02:08:54.260 --> 02:08:57.300 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to proceed to... asr-001499 02:08:58.020 --> 02:09:02.300 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: September 29 po yung susunod na pagpupulong namin ng NEA. asr-001500 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 asr-001501 02:09:06.620 --> 02:09:11.900 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: to the effect na sinuspinde po natin at nirescind yung current policy. asr-001502 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, asr-001503 02:09:17.800 --> 02:09:21.760 Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: it will take time bago po fully ma-rescind itong polisiyang ito. asr-001504 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, asr-001505 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. asr-001506 02:09:33.140 --> 02:09:34.800 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Pwede po akong makiusap, Your Honor. asr-001507 02:09:35.620 --> 02:09:39.620 DOLE Secretary Francis N.

Mendoza: Ito lang, Mr. Secretary. asr-001679 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. asr-001680 02:18:35.920 --> 02:18:36.980 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: But in this case, asr-001681 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. asr-001682 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. asr-001683 02:18:52.220 --> 02:18:54.160 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: And solusyon should be fast. asr-001684 02:18:54.160 --> 02:18:54.640 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Kasi, asr-001685 02:18:54.640 --> 02:18:55.580 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: kasi, asr-001686 02:18:55.860 --> 02:18:58.720 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: there is a OSG, asr-001687 02:18:59.820 --> 02:19:01.300 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: and you filed this, right? asr-001688 02:19:01.840 --> 02:19:02.380 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Mag-MR ka. asr-001689 02:19:02.820 --> 02:19:04.600 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: And if I read it na lang, para matapos tayo. asr-001690 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 asr-001691 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. asr-001692 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. asr-001693 02:19:20.200 --> 02:19:24.140 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: However, it did not bring the writ into existence. asr-001694 02:19:24.640 --> 02:19:25.500 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Rule 58 po. asr-001695 02:19:26.160 --> 02:19:27.840 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Section 4B, asr-001696 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. asr-001697 02:19:34.920 --> 02:19:36.040 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: So, conditions in ikwanon. asr-001698 02:19:36.460 --> 02:19:39.500 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: There is a, if I may mistake, a suspensive condition. asr-001699 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. asr-001700 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. asr-001701 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, asr-001702 02:19:54.640 --> 02:19:58.360 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: does not, standing alone, operate as a writ itself. asr-001703 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, asr-001704 02:20:04.020 --> 02:20:06.840 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: followed by the formal issuance of the corresponding writ. asr-001705 02:20:07.340 --> 02:20:10.160 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Until these mandatory steps are fully satisfied, asr-001706 02:20:10.560 --> 02:20:14.000 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: the assailed order produces no binding injunctive effect. asr-001707 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. asr-001708 02:20:17.960 --> 02:20:20.720 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Kasi talaga, there's no writ to talk about. asr-001709 02:20:21.400 --> 02:20:21.960 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza: Mr. Secretary. asr-001710 02:20:22.760 --> 02:20:24.460 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Mga po kayo, yung pong... asr-001711 02:20:24.460 --> 02:20:26.260 Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C.

Tolentino: yung pong sila po yung nag-finalize niya pero malaki rin po ang inputs ng DOLE. asr-001719 02:21:02.360 --> 02:21:07.180 DOLE Secretary Francis N.

Tolentino: Precisely pressure, compel, hindi ko po kilala yung nabanggit niyong kilala ko lang sa pangalan, asr-001725 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, asr-001726 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. asr-001727 02:21:51.720 --> 02:21:51.920 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Mindful. asr-001728 02:21:51.920 --> 02:21:53.020 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Mindful, Your Honor. asr-001729 02:21:53.660 --> 02:21:59.740 DOLE Secretary Francis N.

Tolentino: which is entitled Active Wood Products versus Intermediate Appellate Court. asr-001731 02:22:05.440 --> 02:22:15.400 DOLE Secretary Francis N.

Tolentino: wherein the Supreme Court rejected the argument, asr-001733 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. asr-001734 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. asr-001735 02:22:37.140 --> 02:22:47.620 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: It should not be a unilateral action on the part of, again, I reiterate, the parties' litigants. asr-001736 02:22:47.620 --> 02:22:51.700 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kaya nga po, Your Honor, nagkatulungan po ang OSG. asr-001737 02:22:51.920 --> 02:22:59.400 DOLE Secretary Francis N.

Tolentino: So, it really expanded because of the need to provide assistance to displaced workers. asr-003754 04:36:48.670 --> 04:36:53.670 DOLE Secretary Francis N.

Tolentino: Cebu, for instance, asr-003766 04:37:37.670 --> 04:37:43.670 DOLE Secretary Francis N.

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, asr-003921 04:45:40.000 --> 04:45:42.640 Rep.

Tolentino: So, we hope to codify all of this. asr-003984 04:52:30.110 --> 04:52:36.510 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: So, parang silang merong database sa mga precedents na pwedeng pagbatayan asr-003985 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, asr-003986 04:52:41.330 --> 04:52:46.510 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. asr-003990 04:53:06.010 --> 04:53:06.490 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Now, binanggit po yung budget para sa ILS. asr-003991 04:53:06.490 --> 04:53:11.950 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: So, binanggit po yung NALJ. Yan po ang papalit sa ILS. asr-003992 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, asr-003993 04:53:18.430 --> 04:53:21.910 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: the NALJ will take over. Tama po ba? asr-003994 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. asr-003995 04:53:29.530 --> 04:53:29.810 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Okay. asr-003996 04:53:29.810 --> 04:53:35.810 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi pa po nakapatong dun yung NALJ because NALJ would require, asr-003997 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 asr-003998 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. asr-003999 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. asr-004000 04:54:03.210 --> 04:54:05.750 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Yung detalye po na yan, yung hawak nyo, asr-004001 04:54:05.810 --> 04:54:07.010 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: na-submitin na po sa committee. asr-004002 04:54:09.010 --> 04:54:13.310 Rep.

Roman III: Pag nakikita po akong ganyang eksaktong detalye, ang tanong ko, bakit ganun na numero? asr-004010 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. asr-004011 04:54:51.410 --> 04:55:01.410 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ito po yan, Your Honor.

Antonino B. Roman III: Natulungan yung mga indigent litigants.

Tolentino: May mga civil cases din at kakaunti po ang nabibigyan ng konsiderasyon sa mga labor arbiters. asr-004020 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. asr-004021 04:55:57.550 --> 04:56:00.910 DOLE Secretary Francis N.

Roman III: Maraming salamat. asr-004056 04:58:43.570 --> 04:58:45.550 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Now to Secretary Benitez. asr-004057 04:58:46.230 --> 04:58:49.890 Rep. Antonino B.

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. asr-004067 04:59:20.450 --> 04:59:24.710 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: We also made a greater request, sir, for capital outlay. asr-004068 04:59:24.710 --> 04:59:26.750 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Wala pong capital outlay. asr-004069 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. asr-004070 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, asr-004071 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. asr-004072 04:59:56.750 --> 04:59:57.890 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Sa 2027. asr-004073 04:59:58.590 --> 04:59:59.990 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: If you can... asr-004074 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, asr-004075 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. asr-004076 05:00:15.200 --> 05:00:17.160 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Nasabi na ho sa amin ni Kong Jila yan. asr-004077 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. asr-004078 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, asr-004079 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, asr-004080 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. asr-004081 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, asr-004082 05:00:50.840 --> 05:00:53.840 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: our budget for 2027 is more or less equivalent, asr-004083 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, asr-004084 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. asr-004085 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. asr-004086 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. asr-004087 05:01:23.860 --> 05:01:24.100 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Sorry. asr-004088 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 asr-004089 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. asr-004090 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. asr-004091 05:01:52.100 --> 05:01:53.480 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: But at the very least, sir, an additional... asr-004092 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. asr-004093 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. asr-004094 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. asr-004095 05:02:23.000 --> 05:02:24.400 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Yung 2.4 billion na binagay kayo. asr-004096 05:02:24.420 --> 05:02:28.720 Rep. Antonino B. Roman III: Yung 2.4 billion na binagay kayo kanina.

One question. asr-004397 05:17:03.990 --> 05:17:04.750 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Wrap it up. asr-004398 05:17:05.390 --> 05:17:06.470 Rep.

Roberto Nazal: Shows TESDA had a 6.74 billion unobligated and 66.5 disbursement rate against obligations. asr-004401 05:17:26.040 --> 05:17:31.540 Rep.

Roberto Nazal: So my question Mr. Chair, we referred several schools and courses for scholarship funding. asr-004404 05:17:47.440 --> 05:17:49.440 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Not a single one was approved. asr-004405 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? asr-004406 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. asr-004407 05:18:15.820 --> 05:18:17.820 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: That's the first, that's the first point sir. asr-004408 05:18:17.820 --> 05:18:18.320 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The second point sir. asr-004409 05:18:18.820 --> 05:18:21.820 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: The second is a, we can give you the report. asr-004410 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. asr-004411 05:18:42.260 --> 05:18:45.820 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Although the allocation is in general almost at 82%. asr-004412 05:18:46.820 --> 05:18:48.820 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Hindi ko alam kung... asr-004413 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. asr-004414 05:18:52.820 --> 05:18:53.820 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Thank you very much. asr-004415 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? asr-004416 05:19:02.820 --> 05:19:03.820 Rep. Roberto Nazal: So sabi nyo ba... asr-004417 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, asr-004418 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. asr-004419 05:19:23.820 --> 05:19:27.820 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Yun po ang usually bottleneck. asr-004420 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. asr-004421 05:19:31.820 --> 05:19:34.820 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Hindi naman ho. asr-004422 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? asr-004423 05:19:43.820 --> 05:19:45.820 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Siguro now, I'm going to ask. asr-004424 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. asr-004425 05:19:55.820 --> 05:19:57.820 TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: Okay, thank you very much, Sec. asr-004426 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. asr-004427 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. asr-004428 05:20:11.820 --> 05:20:14.820 TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: So right now, for EBIT in particular, asr-004429 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. asr-004430 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, asr-004431 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. asr-004432 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 asr-004433 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. asr-004434 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. asr-004435 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. asr-004436 05:21:10.820 --> 05:21:11.820 TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: And two more. asr-004437 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 asr-004438 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 asr-004439 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, asr-004440 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. asr-004441 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 asr-004442 05:21:40.820 --> 05:21:42.820 TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera: who can assist the MSMEs. asr-004443 05:21:42.820 --> 05:21:44.820 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you for all the information. asr-004444 05:21:44.820 --> 05:21:48.820 Rep.

Roberto Nazal: Anyway, just to end, I would like to manifest that right now po sa ating ekonomiya, asr-004450 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. asr-004451 05:22:26.820 --> 05:22:29.820 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Napaka-importante po na ang pondo nyo ay ma-restore asr-004452 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. asr-004453 05:22:34.820 --> 05:22:43.370 Rep.

Tolentino: So ito pong iba, siguro po yung BLE namin ay sa number of followers. asr-004531 05:27:33.720 --> 05:27:36.720 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Merong gustong idagdag si Secreyes? asr-004532 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? asr-004533 05:27:43.280 --> 05:27:45.280 Rep. Anna York P.

Reyes: If I may po, ma'am. asr-004536 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? asr-004537 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. asr-004538 05:28:00.280 --> 05:28:03.280 DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: But of course, the monitoring is one of the challenges. asr-004539 05:28:03.280 --> 05:28:07.280 DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: But meron din ho kaming makabata hotline na tinatawag. asr-004540 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. asr-004541 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. asr-004542 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. asr-004543 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. asr-004544 05:28:30.280 --> 05:28:32.280 DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Well, yung katotohanan po ma'am. asr-004545 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. asr-004546 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, asr-004547 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, asr-004548 05:28:50.280 --> 05:28:53.280 DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: sisiguraduhin nilang natutupad nila yung mga requirements. asr-004549 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. asr-004550 05:28:59.280 --> 05:29:01.280 DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Kahit they are being engaged in this kind of work, asr-004551 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. asr-004552 05:29:06.280 --> 05:29:08.280 DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Kailangan ng bata nakakapag-aral. asr-004553 05:29:08.280 --> 05:29:11.280 DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Hindi siya full time na nagtatrabaho. asr-004554 05:29:11.280 --> 05:29:15.280 DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: At meron din po siyang oras para siya ay makapaglaro. asr-004555 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. asr-004556 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, asr-004557 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. asr-004558 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. asr-004559 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. asr-004560 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. asr-004561 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, asr-004562 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. asr-004563 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. asr-004564 05:29:58.280 --> 05:30:00.000 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: But as you know, asr-004565 05:30:00.000 --> 05:30:04.400 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, P50,000 na po per mention lang po. asr-004566 05:30:04.700 --> 05:30:06.840 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And these are not even for famous influencers. asr-004567 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. asr-004568 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. asr-004569 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. asr-004570 05:30:21.220 --> 05:30:23.080 DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Opo, tama po kayo doon. asr-004571 05:30:23.080 --> 05:30:25.680 DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: Kaya nga po, pagdating naman sa mga kumpanya, ma'am, asr-004572 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. asr-004573 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. asr-004574 05:30:35.180 --> 05:30:37.900 DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes: But marami pong salamat doon sa inyong recommendation. asr-004575 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. asr-004576 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. asr-004577 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. asr-004578 05:30:50.080 --> 05:30:53.000 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Hindi po ayuda yung tupad kasi nagtatrabaho kayo. asr-004579 05:30:53.420 --> 05:30:55.500 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, this is a form of short-term employment. asr-004580 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. asr-004581 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. asr-004582 05:31:04.660 --> 05:31:06.200 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: But that is not the concept po. asr-004583 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. asr-004584 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. asr-004585 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. asr-004586 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. asr-004587 05:31:24.720 --> 05:31:26.400 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Or to hire monitors. asr-004588 05:31:26.960 --> 05:31:28.880 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Or to get independent monitors. asr-004589 05:31:29.640 --> 05:31:31.800 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And then, kailangan po malinaw yung deliverables. asr-004590 05:31:31.980 --> 05:31:33.080 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Ano bang gagawin nila? asr-004591 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. asr-004592 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. asr-004593 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. asr-004594 05:31:49.400 --> 05:31:52.340 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, assistant admin po sa mga hindi BS education. asr-004595 05:31:52.340 --> 05:31:53.880 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Tapos may nagtanong po. asr-004596 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? asr-004597 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. asr-004598 05:32:04.400 --> 05:32:06.140 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, that was supposed to be a joke. asr-004599 05:32:08.200 --> 05:32:12.120 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, ang nagmamonitor po sa kanila, yung DepEd. asr-004600 05:32:12.440 --> 05:32:15.720 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, may monitor na hindi po sila. asr-004601 05:32:15.940 --> 05:32:17.400 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, you need to have a monitoring. asr-004602 05:32:18.060 --> 05:32:19.520 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, kailangan po talaga yan. asr-004603 05:32:19.520 --> 05:32:21.320 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And then, I would like to share some. asr-004604 05:32:21.840 --> 05:32:22.600 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Pwede po bang? asr-004605 05:32:23.560 --> 05:32:24.560 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: If you could share po. asr-004606 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. asr-004607 05:32:30.960 --> 05:32:31.980 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Para malaman. asr-004608 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. asr-004609 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. asr-004610 05:32:37.900 --> 05:32:38.920 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I think I have a photo. asr-004611 05:32:39.340 --> 05:32:39.860 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Ayan po. asr-004612 05:32:40.180 --> 05:32:41.660 Rep. Anna York P.

Bondoc, M.D.: This is not planting lang. asr-004615 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. asr-004616 05:32:51.020 --> 05:32:53.900 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: This is a collab po between the DOH. asr-004617 05:32:53.900 --> 05:32:56.560 Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: At the DA and the DOLE. asr-004618 05:32:56.840 --> 05:32:59.320 Rep.

Bondoc, M.D.: Kasi, hindi kasi when people, because of the bad connotation that happened po before, asr-004647 05:34:41.080 --> 05:34:46.500 Rep. Anna York P.

Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And I am glad, ibida ko na lang po sa Region 4A, asr-004684 05:36:32.280 --> 05:36:35.860 Rep.

Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Para to ensure, asr-004689 05:36:52.180 --> 05:36:55.560 Rep.

Iris Marie Demesa Montes: yung aming mga kababaihan, na ipagpapatuloy po asr-004692 05:37:03.340 --> 05:37:06.740 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: yung community gardening and planting po nila. asr-004693 05:37:07.080 --> 05:37:09.500 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: We also did coastal cleanup. asr-004694 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. asr-004695 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, asr-004696 05:37:22.180 --> 05:37:24.500 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: yung sa TUPAD. asr-004697 05:37:24.660 --> 05:37:28.160 Rep.

Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So walang geo-tagging. asr-004699 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 asr-004700 05:37:37.440 --> 05:37:39.820 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: sa pag-implement ng TUPAD. asr-004701 05:37:40.480 --> 05:37:45.700 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Moving on po, yung question ko po talagang ito. asr-004702 05:37:46.820 --> 05:37:51.580 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: It's often said that our human resource, our people, asr-004703 05:37:51.580 --> 05:37:54.380 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: is our most important human resource. asr-004704 05:37:54.760 --> 05:37:59.000 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: But today, we are confronted po with a sad news. asr-004705 05:37:59.280 --> 05:38:01.740 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: A few hours ago, it's all over the news, asr-004706 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, asr-004707 05:38:08.020 --> 05:38:12.260 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: translating to about 314 Filipinos who are out of jobs. asr-004708 05:38:13.960 --> 05:38:17.120 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: 3 million Filipinos. asr-004709 05:38:18.120 --> 05:38:21.120 Rep.

Iris Marie Demesa Montes: has also dipped to 63.6 from 65. asr-004711 05:38:26.520 --> 05:38:29.540 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And then we have a rising unemployment rate. asr-004712 05:38:30.240 --> 05:38:35.840 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So we are in a very trying times and challenging times. asr-004713 05:38:36.020 --> 05:38:36.740 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So I understand. asr-004714 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 asr-004715 05:38:47.560 --> 05:38:50.960 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: to create more jobs and quality jobs at that. asr-004716 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. asr-004717 05:38:56.680 --> 05:39:01.400 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Given po, Mr. Secretary, ng budget na meron tayo, asr-004718 05:39:01.860 --> 05:39:05.980 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: paano po natin actually may intensify yung efforts natin? asr-004719 05:39:06.120 --> 05:39:08.720 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Especially po, sa figure na ito po yata, asr-004720 05:39:09.100 --> 05:39:11.760 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: yung mga youth dyan, yung mga bagong graduates, asr-004721 05:39:12.200 --> 05:39:15.120 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: hindi daw nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na makasali asr-004722 05:39:15.120 --> 05:39:19.300 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kasi sa labor force, kasi walang available na trabaho. asr-004723 05:39:19.300 --> 05:39:20.360 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So how do we plan? asr-004724 05:39:20.700 --> 05:39:21.520 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Given our budget, asr-004725 05:39:21.520 --> 05:39:24.540 Rep.

Torres: at dun po natin kailangan i-guide from education, our one education which is DepEd, TESDA, and CHED asr-004785 05:43:38.440 --> 05:43:41.840 DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I.

Torres' position or statement asr-004792 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. asr-004793 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. asr-004794 05:44:18.840 --> 05:44:20.500 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Actually three things na na-mention na rin. asr-004795 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. asr-004796 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? asr-004797 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 asr-004798 05:44:47.260 --> 05:44:50.140 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: in the peso, in the public employment service offices, asr-004799 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. asr-004800 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 asr-004801 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. asr-004802 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 asr-004803 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. asr-004804 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 asr-004805 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. asr-004806 05:45:48.480 --> 05:45:53.360 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: So that JobStart, fieldjobs.net, and so on. asr-004807 05:45:53.720 --> 05:45:54.480 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Our... asr-004808 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. asr-004809 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. asr-004810 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. asr-004811 05:46:23.720 --> 05:46:24.340 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Sana naman po. asr-004814 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. asr-004815 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 asr-004816 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... asr-004817 05:46:54.540 --> 05:46:55.260 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: ng country. asr-004818 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. asr-004819 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. asr-004820 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. asr-004821 05:47:24.540 --> 05:47:25.560 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: No, industry. asr-004822 05:47:26.140 --> 05:47:29.940 TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez: Nandyan po ang semiconductors and advanced manufacturing. asr-004823 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 asr-004824 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. asr-004825 05:47:45.690 --> 05:47:46.910 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po. asr-004826 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, asr-004827 05:47:54.410 --> 05:47:55.770 Rep.

Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Exactly po, magkano ang ibinigay ng DBM po sa inyo for this? asr-004832 05:48:24.610 --> 05:48:27.490 DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: For this year po, 3 million pesos. asr-004833 05:48:27.610 --> 05:48:36.930 DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I.

Torres: Yung development po ng plan is it's a joint venture of DOL, DTI, and DepDev. asr-004835 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. asr-004836 05:48:49.430 --> 05:48:53.490 DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres: But for this year, we receive 3 million pesos. asr-004837 05:48:55.700 --> 05:48:56.720 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po. asr-004838 05:48:56.720 --> 05:48:58.180 Rep.

Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Pero wala din pong pondo yung aral. asr-004842 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. asr-004843 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. asr-004844 05:49:21.140 --> 05:49:25.240 Rep.

Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Ang challenge na meron sa atin sa panahon ngayon lalo po sa inyo sa DOLE at sa TESDA. asr-004848 05:49:40.620 --> 05:49:44.420 Rep.

Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kaya kami po sa kababaihan, kabalikatan. asr-004852 05:49:56.180 --> 05:50:04.180 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. asr-004857 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. asr-004858 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, asr-004859 05:50:50.980 --> 05:50:54.300 Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: mas protectado, at maging mas competitive po. asr-004860 05:50:55.180 --> 05:50:56.940 Rep.

Pleyto: Naalala mo, Secretary Tol, you were then Mayor of Kapanon. asr-004878 05:52:35.380 --> 05:52:39.080 Rep. Salvador A.

Pleyto: Mr. Chair, I take note on the observation of the Good Secretary that DOLE must undertake thorough inspection asr-004884 05:53:11.340 --> 05:53:16.460 Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: to ensure the compliance to this occupational safety and health standards. asr-004885 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 asr-004886 05:53:23.180 --> 05:53:24.820 Rep. Salvador A.

Pleyto: Mr. Chair, do you have enough personnel to undertake these inspections? asr-004891 05:53:41.980 --> 05:53:42.860 Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Thank you, Mr. Chair. asr-004892 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. asr-004893 05:53:48.980 --> 05:53:54.860 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Yung 1,210 na pangangailangan ng Labor Inspectorate ay alos 700. asr-004894 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. asr-004895 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. asr-004896 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. asr-004897 05:54:21.520 --> 05:54:22.880 Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: Ang hili-city lang yata po yun? asr-004898 05:54:22.880 --> 05:54:24.980 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Hindi po, sa buong Region 3 na po yun. asr-004899 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. asr-004900 05:54:32.680 --> 05:54:35.080 Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto: 37 lang yata yung inspectorate team nyo doon eh. asr-004901 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. asr-004902 05:54:40.000 --> 05:54:41.320 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So kulang po talaga. asr-004903 05:54:42.360 --> 05:54:46.840 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Nung araw po, Your Honor, meron tinatawag na social inspectors. asr-004904 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, asr-004905 05:54:55.180 --> 05:54:56.520 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: ng kaunting poder. asr-004906 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 asr-004907 05:55:24.520 --> 05:55:25.120 DOLE Secretary Francis N.

Rodriguez: and here she is telling us that we ask the agencies to submit the priority, asr-005857 06:30:24.140 --> 06:30:26.480 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: from the top priority, then down, asr-005858 06:30:26.580 --> 06:30:29.700 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: so that we may not be able to give everything, Mr. Chairman, asr-005859 06:30:30.160 --> 06:30:35.480 Rep. Rufus B.

Rodriguez: for the increase of your budget, I am confident that in the proper time, asr-005862 06:30:44.780 --> 06:30:47.500 Rep. Rufus B.

Angara: From what you are saying, I can see in the background that Congressman Leo Rodriguez is very angry. asr-005868 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. asr-005869 06:31:14.010 --> 06:31:14.610 Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Yes, that's right. asr-005870 06:31:14.950 --> 06:31:23.010 Rep. Rommel Rico T.

Chan: Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and Mr. Secretary, Director General, and the DoLE family. asr-005872 06:31:31.710 --> 06:31:31.790 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman. asr-005873 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. asr-005874 06:31:32.430 --> 06:31:34.750 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So actually, I'm here today to help this... asr-005875 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. asr-005876 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. asr-005877 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. asr-005878 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, asr-005881 06:32:05.970 --> 06:32:07.630 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: may mga cases po sana na asr-005882 06:32:07.830 --> 06:32:10.410 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: natulungan po talaga natin fully yung mga laborers. asr-005883 06:32:10.590 --> 06:32:12.110 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: And one of those cases is asr-005884 06:32:12.110 --> 06:32:13.650 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: the Manggagawa sa Komunikasyon ng Pilipinas asr-005885 06:32:13.650 --> 06:32:17.690 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: versus PLDT, asr-005886 06:32:17.690 --> 06:32:20.410 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: which was decided in February 2024. asr-005887 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. asr-005888 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, asr-005889 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 asr-005890 06:32:36.970 --> 06:32:37.970 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: workers. asr-005891 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. asr-005892 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. asr-005893 06:32:47.690 --> 06:32:56.030 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: So the court set aside some of the categories. asr-005894 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, asr-005895 06:33:01.910 --> 06:33:05.930 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: IT, back office, call centers, and the like. asr-005896 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 asr-005897 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 asr-005898 06:33:17.130 --> 06:33:21.130 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: and applied the findings to 7,344. asr-005899 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 asr-005900 06:33:25.970 --> 06:33:29.610 Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan: should not be considered substantial evidence. asr-005901 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 asr-005902 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? asr-005903 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 asr-005904 06:33:48.920 --> 06:33:52.960 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: manpower insofar as the labor inspectorate is concerned. asr-005905 06:33:52.960 --> 06:33:56.160 DOLE Secretary Francis N.

Tolentino: ang sa buong Pilipinas, asr-005907 06:33:57.160 --> 06:34:02.400 DOLE Secretary Francis N.

Tolentino: Dumaan sila sa isang masusing eksaminasyon, subalit kahit asr-005909 06:34:09.820 --> 06:34:15.920 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: mabuo yung 1,210, that would not be sufficient asr-005910 06:34:15.920 --> 06:34:16.920 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to address that continuing concern. asr-005911 06:34:16.920 --> 06:34:25.800 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Kulang talaga. Hindi kaya, hindi lamang sa mga pribadong establishments asr-005912 06:34:25.800 --> 06:34:26.800 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: kundi pati government projects. asr-005913 06:34:27.160 --> 06:34:28.320 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Ang nag-i-inspect din po noon, DOLE. asr-005914 06:34:28.320 --> 06:34:30.940 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So hindi talaga kayang punuan o asr-005915 06:34:30.940 --> 06:34:32.380 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: So hindi talaga kayang asr-005916 06:34:32.380 --> 06:34:38.320 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: punuan o gampanan.

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? asr-007276 07:35:39.080 --> 07:35:39.900 DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty.

Miro S. Quimbo: So, in short, the injunction remains effective until and unless the court issues an order rescinding the same. asr-007279 07:35:52.280 --> 07:35:52.480 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. asr-007283 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. asr-007284 07:36:09.940 --> 07:36:10.280 DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L.

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. asr-007317 07:36:42.320 --> 07:36:42.560 Rep. Atty. Miro S.

Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I wanted to give our secretaries the opportunity to, again, asr-007760 08:02:29.890 --> 08:02:32.830 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: advocate for items that may need to be restored asr-007761 08:02:32.830 --> 08:02:36.730 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the consideration of the Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee. asr-007762 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 asr-007763 08:02:45.430 --> 08:02:47.430 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pertaining to the... asr-007764 08:02:48.070 --> 08:02:53.150 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the additional allocation for TUPAD and GIP. asr-007765 08:02:53.710 --> 08:02:57.790 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So SEC, if I may request you to please reiterate asr-007766 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. asr-007767 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 asr-007768 08:03:13.630 --> 08:03:16.430 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as reflected in the 2026 GAA, asr-007769 08:03:16.430 --> 08:03:20.570 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sa 2027 na po, bumalik sa 11 billion. asr-007770 08:03:20.850 --> 08:03:23.430 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So that represents a reduction of 10 billion peso. asr-007771 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 asr-007772 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]. asr-007773 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 asr-007774 08:03:40.470 --> 08:03:46.230 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: labor force survey showing a decline in employment rate, asr-007775 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. asr-007776 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, asr-007777 08:04:09.160 --> 08:04:12.160 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: muntik na naman akong 'this representation', asr-007778 08:04:12.820 --> 08:04:17.760 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: that this department feel would have to be continued. asr-007779 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, asr-007780 08:04:22.100 --> 08:04:26.120 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: because of the uncertainties we're facing globally, asr-007781 08:04:27.060 --> 08:04:32.160 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: even immediately after the U.S. midterm elections, asr-007782 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. asr-007783 08:04:38.820 --> 08:04:45.740 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: And we feel that the drastic decline, cut, asr-007784 08:04:46.820 --> 08:04:47.820 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to be sustained, asr-007785 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. asr-007786 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. asr-007787 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, asr-007788 08:05:08.480 --> 08:05:14.460 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: wherein tutors, mentors are now being exposed via the Tupad program asr-007789 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. asr-007790 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, asr-007791 08:05:29.420 --> 08:05:32.580 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: the reintegration program, and a lot of other things. asr-007792 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 asr-007793 08:05:42.440 --> 08:05:44.440 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: in the allocation for the programs, Your Honor. asr-007794 08:05:44.460 --> 08:05:46.460 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Iyon po siguro ang tenor ng naturang sulat. asr-007795 08:05:46.460 --> 08:05:51.940 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Subalit kanina mayroon din akong request for asr-007796 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. asr-007797 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, asr-007798 08:06:08.020 --> 08:06:14.100 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: to have a strong academy, school, and finishing school. asr-007799 08:06:14.100 --> 08:06:22.100 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Our mediators, conciliators, arbiters, commissioners who provide justice for our workers. asr-007800 08:06:22.100 --> 08:06:28.260 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: The same is the need to have more labor attorneys. asr-007801 08:06:28.260 --> 08:06:30.880 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: We have PAO now. asr-007802 08:06:31.280 --> 08:06:37.540 DOLE Secretary Francis N.

Tolentino: So, all in all, I sent communications to Chairman, asr-007804 08:06:44.100 --> 08:06:49.100 DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino: Jolo, to the Speaker, and to Vice Chair Angara concerning this. asr-007805 08:06:49.220 --> 08:06:56.180 DOLE Secretary Francis N.
