1
00:00:07,660 --> 00:00:16,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And my thanks to our civil society partners, support staff, and all participants who continue to engage in this process.

2
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:26,640
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: This initiative began with House Resolution No. 94 and was operationalized through interim guidelines in 2025.

3
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:39,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Today, it is sustained and strengthened by the reconstitution of the House Task Force on People's Participation.

4
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:51,200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: We know from global experience that meaningful civil society participation in budgeting improves targeting of public expenditures,

5
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:56,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: strengthens accountability, and enhances surveillance.

6
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:09,640
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Brazil's participatory budgeting showed how local involvement led to better health and sanitation outcomes,

7
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:18,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: while Kenya's experience demonstrated how citizens' monitoring improved transparency and value for money.

8
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:22,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: The Philippines has made important strides.

9
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:25,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yet, as the 2025 Open Budgeting,

10
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:38,940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: survey reminds us, our participation score of 37, though in ASEAN, remains below the level considered adequate.

11
00:01:39,940 --> 00:01:51,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: We must therefore expand opportunities for engagement, ensure inclusivity, and make participation more impactful across the budget cycle.

12
00:01:51,860 --> 00:01:56,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: That is why I enjoin all CSOs here today,

13
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:04,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to actively participate and remain vigilant throughout the budget process at all three levels.

14
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:13,820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: First, agency level, shaping programs and allocations through budget partnership agreements.

15
00:02:15,060 --> 00:02:26,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Local level, which is the second, ensuring projects rise from barangay, demand-driven, plans through mandatory, bottom-up,

16
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:27,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budgeting.

17
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:54,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Third, audit level, monitoring how funds are spent and implemented through the citizens' participatory audit. Together, these three pillars from the foundation of a participatory budget system. With your vigilance, we can ensure that participation is not just a practice, but a right guaranteed by law under the proposed Philippine

18
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Budgeting Code.

19
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Hopefully, madiscuss din po natin ito mamaya.

20
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:09,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And may this process continue to deepen the partnership between Congress and the people.

21
00:03:10,060 --> 00:03:26,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Together, we can work forward, work towards a national budget that is transparent, participatory, and truly responsive to the needs and aspiration of every

22
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Filipino.

23
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I would like to add na please bear with the process.

24
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Alam po namin na marami pa pong hinahanap na reforms ang ating CSO.

25
00:03:39,780 --> 00:03:47,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: But we're learning as we go along. Please understand that itong mga bagay na ito, itong mga reformang ito,

26
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kauna-unahang beses natin

27
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ginawa last year at

28
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pinagpapatuloy po natin

29
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at mas lalo natin

30
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pinalalalim

31
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nang sa ganon maging

32
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: institutionalized especially

33
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with the new legislation

34
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that support this, that hopefully

35
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I will explain later. Nang sa ganon

36
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: makita talaga natin ang isang

37
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: efficient, transparent, and accountable

38
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budget process

39
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that will return better lives

40
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: for our people and our country.

41
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Again, on behalf of

42
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,040

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that the concerns that you have

00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: may be very, very

49
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: relevant. So they're here

50
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to address that as well.

51
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: On behalf of the

52
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,040

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Committee on Appropriations,

00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: welcome to this very noble

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: engagement and

56

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I hope that this will be, again,

57
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: be very fruitful

58
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:58,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nang sa ganon ay mag-contribute to a better budget for our people and country.

59
00:04:58,780 --> 00:05:02,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Maraming salamat at magandang umaga po sa inyong lahat.

60
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Para lang makita nyo po na yung inyong mga adhikain,

61
00:05:08,300 --> 00:05:10,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung inyong mga concerns, inyong mga tanong,

62
00:05:11,340 --> 00:05:15,980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: inyong mga clarification ay kung hindi man lahat na-address,

63
00:05:15,980 --> 00:05:22,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pero marami po doon na-address ng ating budget deliberation,

64
00:05:22,260 --> 00:05:24,080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: consideration, and decision-making.

65
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, first, if you remember, wala po ngayon,

66
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:31,880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kasama po natin si Congresswoman Lisa Massa,

67
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Council for People's Development and Governance.

68
00:05:35,340 --> 00:05:36,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Ito po yung kanyang mga concerns.

69
00:05:39,620 --> 00:05:42,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, ayan, mababasa nyo po yung mga concerns.

70
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:45,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: No concrete steps to lift people out of poverty.

71
00:05:45,980 --> 00:05:48,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Address inequality, not enough investment for agriculture.

72
00:05:49,780 --> 00:05:51,080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, sinummarize po natin.

73
00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:56,420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Budget for national defense and security is higher than agriculture and other sectors.

74
00:05:57,020 --> 00:06:02,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Confidential funds of the OP should be scrutinized.

75
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:06,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: People's participation in the budget process is still limited.

76
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:13,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And increase in the budget of the NTC, ELCAC, is not good.

77
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Many CSOs are victims.

78
00:06:15,980 --> 00:06:21,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, relevant agencies, DBM, DA, OP.

79
00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:31,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, ito po yung naging response ng House on addressing poverty and inequality.

80
00:06:32,260 --> 00:06:35,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Although not direct, centered on poverty alleviation,

81
00:06:35,580 --> 00:06:40,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the Commission of Appropriations through the Budget Amendment Review Subcommittee,

82
00:06:40,860 --> 00:06:43,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or yung BARC, as you may be familiar with,

83
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:45,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: inamend po natin ito.

84
00:06:45,620 --> 00:06:47,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And that was live.

85
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: At gagawin din po natin yan this year.

86
00:06:51,060 --> 00:06:56,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, inamend po ng BARC and prioritize the education, health, education,

87
00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:03,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to the tune of 56,637,276,000.

88
00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:07,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Dinagdag po sa education.

89
00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:14,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Sa health naman, dinagdagan ng 92,575,023,000.

90
00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:15,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: At sa agriculture,

91
00:07:15,620 --> 00:07:20,080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kung saan na chair po si Vice Chair Anayork,

92
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:29,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: dinagdagan po sa BARC and on record po ito ng 53,754,678,000.

93
00:07:30,980 --> 00:07:33,840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, on investment, on agriculture,

94
00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:41,990
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: through the BARC introduced increases to the budget of the departments that I have mentioned,

95
00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:45,170
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: including sa DAR,

96
00:07:45,170 --> 00:07:47,290
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at nag-alok.

97
00:07:47,990 --> 00:07:50,330
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Total of 53,000,000,000.

98
00:07:50,330 --> 00:07:58,230
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Tapos ito po'y for the most part ay nadala sa General Appropriations Act.

99
00:07:58,510 --> 00:08:03,990
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: In fact, sa education, which we had the highest budget last year for education,

100
00:08:04,170 --> 00:08:09,450
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: umabot po ng 1.345,000,000.

101
00:08:09,450 --> 00:08:17,370
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Pag pinagsama-sama po natin yung sa DepEd, Higher Education, TESDA, and other, yung sa mga SUCs.

102
00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:19,550
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And so on and so forth.

103
00:08:19,550 --> 00:08:25,790
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, next siguro, para pakita lang natin aside from the first CSOs.

104
00:08:28,270 --> 00:08:32,150
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Next is si Dr. Kiko Magno ng DLSU,

105
00:08:32,150 --> 00:08:34,150
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: my almamater by the way.

106
00:08:35,270 --> 00:08:37,490
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Institute of Governance,

107
00:08:37,590 --> 00:08:40,070
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa concerned sa CHED,

108
00:08:40,070 --> 00:08:42,250
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa DOST,

109
00:08:42,370 --> 00:08:43,450
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: SDGs,

110
00:08:44,050 --> 00:08:46,130
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and community-based monitoring.

111
00:08:46,130 --> 00:08:47,830
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, ito naman po, yung naging, you know,

112
00:08:47,910 --> 00:08:50,010
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: response from the

113
00:08:50,010 --> 00:08:51,750
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: BARC sa house

114
00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:53,230
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na naging

115
00:08:53,230 --> 00:08:56,290
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: GAB and GAB2

116
00:08:56,290 --> 00:08:57,330
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and eventually

117
00:08:57,330 --> 00:08:59,910
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa GAA. So, bibigyan po

118
00:08:59,910 --> 00:09:01,210
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: namin kayo ng kopya nito

119
00:09:01,210 --> 00:09:03,610
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nang sa ganun, mapag-aralan nyo,

120
00:09:03,690 --> 00:09:05,270
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: himayin po ninyo, and

121
00:09:05,270 --> 00:09:07,670
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para makita nyo rin po yung accuracy

122
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:09,370
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: based on our

123
00:09:09,370 --> 00:09:12,170
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 2026 General Appropriations

124
00:09:12,170 --> 00:09:13,930
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Act. And we will

125
00:09:13,930 --> 00:09:15,350
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: do the same this year.

126
00:09:16,450 --> 00:09:17,830
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kung hindi po namin

127
00:09:17,830 --> 00:09:20,050
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na itatanong lahat ng questions

128
00:09:20,050 --> 00:09:22,070
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng ating CSO, minsan kasi katulad

129
00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:23,950
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nung sa Department of

130
00:09:23,950 --> 00:09:25,970
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Health, yung aking

131
00:09:25,970 --> 00:09:28,190
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: i-defend na department,

132
00:09:29,010 --> 00:09:30,030
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: it's a 22

133
00:09:30,030 --> 00:09:31,910
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: page concerns

134
00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:33,850
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at yung iba dun, tinanong ng ating mga

135
00:09:33,850 --> 00:09:35,630
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: members. So, what we did

136
00:09:35,630 --> 00:09:37,830
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: in whole,

137
00:09:38,410 --> 00:09:40,010
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kabuuan, pinasa po

138
00:09:40,010 --> 00:09:42,070
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: namin sa DOH, and before

00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:44,250

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nang sa ganun, kung

142
00:09:47,790 --> 00:09:49,850
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: tingin nyo na address nyo yung mga

143
00:09:49,850 --> 00:09:51,090
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: concerns, okay,

144
00:09:51,770 --> 00:09:53,950
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hopefully that will reflect in the budget.

145
00:09:54,130 --> 00:09:56,130
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kung hindi man, pwede pa natin

146
00:09:56,130 --> 00:09:58,050
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: isama sa floor

147
00:09:58,050 --> 00:09:59,210
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: deliberations.

00:10:00,070 --> 00:10:02,330
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, please bear with us.

149
00:10:02,410 --> 00:10:03,830
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: We are learning as we

150
00:10:03,830 --> 00:10:05,750
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: go along, pareho po tayo,

151
00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:08,010
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pero pareho lang po tayo

152
00:10:08,010 --> 00:10:10,050
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng gusto na mas maging

153
00:10:10,050 --> 00:10:11,810
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: makabuluhan ang ating

154
00:10:11,810 --> 00:10:14,250

272
00:15:54,020 --> 00:16:03,480
John Castillo: Okay, at this juncture, I think we now move to what I believe will be one of the most important highlights of today's program.

273
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:14,940
John Castillo: We will hear directly from our CSO partners on their perspectives, concerns, and recommendations regarding the 2027 National Budget.

274
00:16:14,940 --> 00:16:25,280
John Castillo: But before we begin, just a few reminders to help us manage our time and give everyone an opportunity to be heard.

275
00:16:25,740 --> 00:16:42,640
John Castillo: To ensure that we can accommodate all our CSO representatives within the available time, each speaker will be given approximately two to three minutes to share or less, to share their key statements and recommendation on the 2027 National Budget.

276
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:43,880
John Castillo: Don't worry, don't worry.

277
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:49,500
John Castillo: You will hear a signal or receive a notice when your time is nearly up.

278
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:57,420
John Castillo: So we encourage everyone to focus on your most important concerns, recommendations, or key messages.

279
00:16:57,940 --> 00:17:12,420
John Castillo: If there are additional concerns or recommendations that you are not able to cover within your allotted time, we encourage you to submit your position papers or other written submission to the Task Force on People's Participation.

280
00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:13,840
John Castillo: This will be considered.

281
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:22,660
John Castillo: This will be considered as part of the continuing discussion and where appropriate will be referred for feedback, similar to what Kong Abet presented earlier.

282
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:26,700
John Castillo: And we will also want to highlight that there are two distinct parts po.

283
00:17:27,020 --> 00:17:35,260
John Castillo: First part, each CSO will talk about their comments, concerns on the 2027 National Budget, substantive.

284
00:17:35,260 --> 00:17:47,980
John Castillo: And then, after po makapag-deliver na ng three-minute speech or statement from each CSO, our panelists will be given the chance to speak, share their inputs or observation.

285
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:59,620
John Castillo: And then there will be second part on the discussion about the procedural matters on how to improve or strengthen the people's participation on the budget process.

286
00:18:00,340 --> 00:18:01,460
John Castillo: So, okay po tayo doon?

287
00:18:03,650 --> 00:18:04,370
John Castillo: Okay.

288
00:18:04,990 --> 00:18:06,870
John Castillo: So, we will handle this.

289
00:18:06,890 --> 00:18:35,990
John Castillo: Since all of our vice chairs and senior vice chair are already present here, and some of our CSO partners have already signified their intent to raise their concerns on certain matters, we will begin with, letter A po ba muna tayo, agriculture matters, to serve as, to hear from the Philippine Association of Agriculture.

290
00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:36,670
John Castillo: Agriculture.

291
00:18:36,890 --> 00:18:37,370

John Castillo: Tama po ba, sir?

293
00:18:39,210 --> 00:18:49,030
John Castillo: The president or the vice president of Philippine Association of Agriculture is incorporated, Al, Mr. Al Christian Hilario.

294
00:18:49,970 --> 00:18:52,490
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Marami salamat po, and good morning po sa lahat.

297
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,860
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Sa 2027 budget.

298
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:25,640
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Kasabay din po nito, kasabay po ng enactment o pagsasabatas ng Philippine Agriculturalist Act or the Republic Act 12215, yung pagpapalakas po ng mga agrikulturist na matagal ng napabayaan.

299
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:31,320
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: And isa po sa mga concern nito ay yung adjustment ng salaries na hindi na-implement.

300
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:38,300
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Since one year na po na yung batas ay naipapasa, yung upgrading po from SG-11 ng mga nasa government, agrikulturist,

301
00:19:38,780 --> 00:19:40,080
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: ay hindi pa na-i-adjust into SG-11.

302
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,640
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: At tinatanong namin yung mga agencies ay wala po silang definite response.

303
00:19:45,260 --> 00:19:50,440
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Sa private sector naman po, yung mga practicing agrikulturist natin, hindi na i-a-align.

304
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,640
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Still lowest, mababa pa rin po, kumpado sa industrial rate, yung kanilang mga salaries.

305
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,720
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: So yun po yung isang tinitignan natin sa budget.

306
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:06,800
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: And kasabay din po nito, yung iba't-ibang mga agro-environmental investment programs ay atin po tinitignan.

307
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:08,840
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: And other projects na magpapalakas.

308
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,120
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Sa ngayon po, sa dami.

309
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:14,040
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Sa dami ng mga calamities at sa mga pinominan na na-i-encounter natin across the country.

310
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:23,620
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Isa rin po sa tinitignan ng grupo ng agrikulturist ay ma-ensure po na yung food security plan ay naka-align po at well-funded.

311
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:32,160
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Para po maiwasan yung ating, kung hindi po maiwasan, totally malimited or to zero yung ating malnutrition and gutom.

312
00:20:32,420 --> 00:20:33,520
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Yun lang po at maraming salamat.

313
00:20:33,740 --> 00:20:36,120
John Castillo: Thank you very much, President or Sir.

314
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,970
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: I don't believe na ginawang individual.

315
00:22:09,970 --> 00:22:11,150
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Yun yung tatapusin niya.

316
00:22:11,370 --> 00:22:18,110
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: [unclear] million hectares, they target 750,000 hectares next year.

317
00:22:18,750 --> 00:22:22,890
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Okay lang, well and good, kailangan ng taong bahay, kailangan ng magsasakang individual titles.

318
00:22:23,390 --> 00:22:29,010
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: What we asked was, ano yung target doon sa land acquisition and distribution?

319
00:22:29,250 --> 00:22:31,790
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: And they said 20,000 hectares only.

320
00:22:33,490 --> 00:22:39,850
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Tapos, ang sinasabi nila, on that issue, bakit hindi po tapusin yung land acquisition and distribution?

321
00:22:39,970 --> 00:22:48,670
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Just as a context, ang last notices of coverage issued were on 2014 pa, June 2014.

322
00:22:49,370 --> 00:22:55,050
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So, at least, lahat ng mga [unclear] agrarian reform have been waiting at least 12 years.

323
00:22:55,410 --> 00:22:56,770
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Kasi 2026 na, diba?

324
00:22:57,430 --> 00:23:06,270
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: And that means to say, dapat 2015 tapos na yun kasi yun yung policy nandar, one year land distribution lang.

325
00:23:06,730 --> 00:23:09,170
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Tapos ngayon ang target nila 20,000 lang.

326
00:23:09,970 --> 00:23:15,690
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Yun po yung tinanong na hindi po satisfactorily sinagot ni Secretary Estrella, bakit 20,000 lang?

327
00:23:16,110 --> 00:23:22,850
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Kahit meron pang about 580,000 hectares na balance doon sa land acquisition and distribution.

328
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:26,790
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Ang tanong namin, bakit di tanatapos?

329
00:23:27,250 --> 00:23:30,170
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Sino yung nakikinabang sa hindi pagtapos ang land distribution?

330
00:23:30,170 --> 00:23:34,810
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Kasi alam naman natin, yung mga huling natitira are yung mga landed elites.

331
00:23:35,630 --> 00:23:39,510
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: And we want sa ANAD 2 to see the sincerity of Congress din.

332
00:23:39,970 --> 00:23:44,550
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Understand, many of the members of Congress are also subject to agrarian reform.

333
00:23:45,210 --> 00:23:49,290
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Kasi may mga land holdings po tayong nasa atin pa, hindi pa napapa sa ilalim.

334
00:23:49,830 --> 00:23:52,450
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So, nag-compute po kami ng numbers kung ano yung kailangan.

335
00:23:52,450 --> 00:23:54,750
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Ang hinihingi lang ng DAR ay 100 million.

336
00:23:54,930 --> 00:23:59,350
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: That is only enough for 2,000 hectares purchase land acquisition.

337
00:24:00,210 --> 00:24:03,950
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Paano nila magagawa yung mandate nila kung hindi nila hinihingi yung pera?

338
00:24:04,290 --> 00:24:08,290
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Perhaps hot air lang yung sinabi ni Presidente sa SONA.

339
00:24:08,430 --> 00:24:09,210
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Natatapusin niya.

340
00:24:09,210 --> 00:24:20,950
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Second, meron po kasi kaming tinatanong din doon regarding dun sa pagtatanggal sa listahan ng lupa dun sa DAR.

341
00:24:21,050 --> 00:24:23,210
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Sinabi nila, they remove problematic land holdings.

342
00:24:24,270 --> 00:24:27,210
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So, we ask, isn't it illegal to remove land holdings?

343
00:24:28,310 --> 00:24:34,890
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Kasi one hectare removed from the list is one farmer left landless for another year at least.

344
00:24:35,050 --> 00:24:36,530
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Kasi hindi siya napunta dun sa budget.

345
00:24:36,530 --> 00:24:38,530
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So, we wanted to ask, legal ba yung pagpapakita?

346
00:24:39,210 --> 00:24:39,910
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Ano yung proseso nila?

347
00:24:40,030 --> 00:24:41,170
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: At ano yung proseso nila?

348
00:24:41,630 --> 00:24:45,370
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Ano yung validation to get due process dun sa magsasaka natatanggal sa listahan?

349
00:24:45,490 --> 00:24:45,990
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Maraming salamat.

350
00:24:46,050 --> 00:24:47,530
John Castillo: Thank you very much, Sir Tim.

351
00:24:47,930 --> 00:24:58,590
John Castillo: Any of the, are there other CSO who wish to signify their concerns with respect to agriculture matters?

352
00:25:01,300 --> 00:25:02,020
John Castillo: Hearing none.

353
00:25:03,020 --> 00:25:11,020
John Castillo: If any from our Vice Chair or Senior Vice Chair or any panelists who would want to respond or share their observations,

354
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:12,460
John Castillo: or insights.

355
00:25:12,660 --> 00:25:18,000
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Thank you so much, Mr. Chair or Mr. Senior Vice Chair.

356
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:26,360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Thank you also to the CSOs and various organizations that have taken time out to join us today.

357
00:25:26,980 --> 00:25:31,100
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And thank you also sa napaka-interesting na mga tanong po na hinaharap.

358
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,480
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, before I address the questions that were asked,

359
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,480
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I would just like to mention that for the year 2026,

360
00:25:41,100 --> 00:25:47,980
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: it has been the best year for agriculture ever in the history po of the Philippines.

361
00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:51,920
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, siguro po, let's take a moment to appreciate that statement.

362
00:25:52,860 --> 00:25:55,520
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And recognize po, lahat po nang tumulong.

363
00:25:55,940 --> 00:26:00,080
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Of course, I would like to acknowledge Secretary Tiu Laurel.

364
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,520
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: But behind him are so many people po.

365
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:09,940
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: From the top down talaga po hanggat sa bawat magsasaka po ng Pilipinas,

366
00:26:09,940 --> 00:26:11,040
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: ay tumulong

367
00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:15,180
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: po rito sa nangyari pong napakagandang balita na ito.

368
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:22,280
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And yes, we acknowledge po iyong contribution po na mga agriculturists din po dito.

369
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:27,040
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And yes, I truly agree that you should be paid po the proper salary grade.

370
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,980
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, to mention po, ano po bang ginawa ng DA that is so amazing this year?

371
00:26:32,540 --> 00:26:36,520
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Agriculture and fisheries posted the strongest growth in eight years.

372
00:26:37,220 --> 00:26:39,360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, this is the fastest po.

373
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:40,980
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: It grew 2.6%.

374
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:47,280
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And our second quarter harvest is really the largest po.

375
00:26:47,860 --> 00:26:53,920
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: We have also started, um, umiikot na po yung 20 pesos per kilo rice.

376
00:26:54,380 --> 00:26:55,840
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Dati po, pangarap lang.

377
00:26:56,300 --> 00:26:58,980
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And again, it is still not fully implemented.

378
00:26:59,620 --> 00:27:05,720
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Nevertheless, umiikot na po yung atin pong mga caravans sa bawat regyon po ng Pilipinas.

379
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,820
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: We are also thanks to, many thanks to your assistance po.

380
00:27:11,100 --> 00:27:12,360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Na nakadagdag po, no?

381
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,780
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Um, DA mismo got 40 billion increase.

382
00:27:16,380 --> 00:27:20,700
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, much of that has not yet been implemented, sadly.

383
00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:22,900
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Especially po yung farm-to-market roads.

384
00:27:23,060 --> 00:27:27,340
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Because just two weeks ago, linabas po ng DBM yung necessary papers.

385
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:33,060
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, we could see that kung nag-record harvest na po tayo,

386
00:27:34,420 --> 00:27:39,380
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: even without the infrastructures that we are starting to build.

387
00:27:39,780 --> 00:27:41,060
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Pag sumipa natin,

388
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:43,640
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: kaya po yun, in the next 18 months,

389
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:48,440
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: we can even expect, uh, even more kung malakas lang po ang loob ko,

390
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: barring any major disasters.

391
00:27:50,580 --> 00:27:53,160
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And hopefully, we can recover from this massive flood.

392
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:58,140
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I would say that the agriculture, uh, sector would grow even more

393
00:27:58,140 --> 00:28:03,360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: because we have really, um, so many infrastructures just waiting to be rolled out.

394
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:08,020
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, we are also putting up major food hubs to, um,

395
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,820
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: para po mawala yung mga middlemen.

396
00:28:10,820 --> 00:28:12,420
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Sa mga kita po ng mga farmers.

397
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:19,220
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And lastly, we are now starting to grow, um, one of the food hubs po is in Clark mismo,

398
00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:20,360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: which is in Pampanga.

399
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:22,740
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And this is also very interesting, you know.

400
00:28:22,740 --> 00:28:26,300
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: We have higher value agricultural exports nowadays.

401
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,660
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: We're not only doing the traditional bananas and pineapples,

402
00:28:31,180 --> 00:28:33,940
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: pero meron na po tayong durian, cacao, avocado,

403
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,180
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: and yung bago pong trend ngayon sa U.S., ang ube

404
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,680
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, ang dami pong magandang balita.

405
00:28:40,820 --> 00:28:41,720
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Sa agrikultura.

406
00:28:42,420 --> 00:28:48,060
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And, um, there are certain sectors like the DPWH have suffered losses in their budget.

407
00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:53,440
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Um, the agriculture sector is alive and hopefully booming.

408
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,980
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And sana mas kaganda pa po sa inyo with all of your support.

409
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,240
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, to address the specific questions,

410
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:06,400
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: you were asking po about the, uh, pest management po sa negros.

411
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,380
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Um, about the, do you, do you want to hear the details?

412
00:29:10,380 --> 00:29:12,220
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Or can I submit it na lang po?

413
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,900
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Oo, submit na lang po kasi it's very local.

414
00:29:16,660 --> 00:29:20,460
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, um, it's very, it's very local.

415
00:29:20,820 --> 00:29:26,220
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, you may read it po and then just get back to me kung meron pa pong mga issues.

416
00:29:27,220 --> 00:29:28,140
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, ayun po.

417
00:29:28,220 --> 00:29:30,580
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: We're looking forward to a better rice harvest.

418
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,520
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And we will need the help of agriculture budget talaga to recover

419
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,440
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: because most of Central Luzon, including Nueva Ecija, Pampanga,

420
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Tarlac, and Batangas,

421
00:29:40,380 --> 00:29:43,300
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: this is known as the rice granary of the Philippines,

422
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,540
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: also has been affected by the major flood.

423
00:29:47,140 --> 00:29:51,940
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And, um, also we are working also on improving the flooding,

424
00:29:52,220 --> 00:29:54,140
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: how we can avoid flooding sa NLEX.

425
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:55,460
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Why is this important?

426
00:29:55,660 --> 00:29:59,940
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Because majority of our agriculture products also come from the north.

427
00:30:00,050 --> 00:30:01,810
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: going to Metro Manila.

428
00:30:02,370 --> 00:30:04,030
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, improving our

429
00:30:04,030 --> 00:30:06,150
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: transport and road

430
00:30:06,150 --> 00:30:08,290
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: network is very, very important

431
00:30:08,290 --> 00:30:10,470
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: to ensure food security.

432
00:30:11,170 --> 00:30:12,130
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, I know

433
00:30:12,130 --> 00:30:13,090
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: that we have been

434
00:30:13,090 --> 00:30:16,170
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: late in rolling

435
00:30:16,170 --> 00:30:17,870
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: out the farm-to-market roads

436
00:30:17,870 --> 00:30:20,330
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: and the major infrastructures, including

437
00:30:20,330 --> 00:30:21,910
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: deep ports and

438
00:30:21,910 --> 00:30:24,170
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: NFA warehouses. But we look

439
00:30:24,170 --> 00:30:25,590
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: forward to more growth

440
00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:28,090
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: in the next, last

441
00:30:28,090 --> 00:30:29,530
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: quarter of the year as we

442
00:30:29,530 --> 00:30:31,830
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: as the weather improves and we

443
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:33,410
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: continue to

444
00:30:33,410 --> 00:30:35,750
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: build infrastructures

445
00:30:35,750 --> 00:30:37,550
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: necessary to support agriculture.

446
00:30:38,130 --> 00:30:39,830
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: There was a question regarding

447
00:30:39,830 --> 00:30:41,250
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the DAR

448
00:30:41,250 --> 00:30:43,950
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: and the land targets.

449
00:30:43,950 --> 00:30:45,950
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Unfortunately, our vice chair is not

450
00:30:45,950 --> 00:30:48,030
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: here and they have given

451
00:30:48,030 --> 00:30:48,890
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: me their

452
00:30:48,890 --> 00:30:52,150
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: response, the response

453
00:30:52,150 --> 00:30:53,970
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: of the committee. And I am

454
00:30:53,970 --> 00:30:55,930
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: sad to let you know that the

455
00:30:55,930 --> 00:30:57,970
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: land budget, what is the reason for

456
00:30:57,970 --> 00:30:59,490
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: poor land acquisition?

457
00:30:59,530 --> 00:31:01,470
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: There's only one reason, which is

458
00:31:01,470 --> 00:31:03,470
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the perennial reason, kulang sa

459
00:31:03,470 --> 00:31:05,310
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: budget. And

460
00:31:05,310 --> 00:31:07,450
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: bakit kulang sa budget?

461
00:31:07,870 --> 00:31:09,070
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Nilagay po dito that

462
00:31:09,070 --> 00:31:11,150
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Undersecretary Celeste explained

463
00:31:11,150 --> 00:31:13,670
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: that the 100 million that they were requesting

464
00:31:13,670 --> 00:31:15,650
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: was constrained by the strict

465
00:31:15,650 --> 00:31:17,510
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: budget ceiling set up by

466
00:31:17,510 --> 00:31:19,710
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the DBM. So, siguro po

467
00:31:19,710 --> 00:31:21,690
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: you may have a conversation po

468
00:31:21,690 --> 00:31:23,030
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: with the DBM

469
00:31:23,030 --> 00:31:25,570
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: and the DAR so that they may work

470
00:31:25,570 --> 00:31:27,470
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: out some

471
00:31:27,470 --> 00:31:28,970
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: modifications to this.

472
00:31:29,530 --> 00:31:30,870
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Again, to say that our

473
00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:33,190
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: administration is not serious about

474
00:31:33,190 --> 00:31:35,170
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the DAR, I think

475
00:31:35,170 --> 00:31:36,750
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: is a gross understatement

476
00:31:36,750 --> 00:31:38,630
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: because this is the first time

477
00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:41,370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: that ever in history

478
00:31:41,370 --> 00:31:43,190
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: na na-wipe out po yung utang na mga

479
00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:45,330
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: farmers, which is really

480
00:31:45,330 --> 00:31:46,990
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: if you ask me, yun ang

481
00:31:46,990 --> 00:31:49,330
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: signature achievement po ni President

482
00:31:49,330 --> 00:31:51,150
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: BBM and which

483
00:31:51,150 --> 00:31:53,090
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: will really impact upon each

484
00:31:53,090 --> 00:31:54,450
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: individual farmer.

485
00:31:56,230 --> 00:31:57,210
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, I

486
00:31:57,210 --> 00:31:57,870
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: think that

487
00:31:57,870 --> 00:31:59,510
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: that alone,

488
00:31:59,530 --> 00:32:01,350
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: that alone shows the sincerity and dedication.

489
00:32:01,530 --> 00:32:03,150
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: But again, tama naman ho kayo.

490
00:32:03,230 --> 00:32:05,670
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: We cannot stop there. Kailangan tuloy-tuloy

491
00:32:05,670 --> 00:32:06,930
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: pa rin po yung mga gains.

492
00:32:07,390 --> 00:32:09,230
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, I would like to submit this also

493
00:32:09,230 --> 00:32:11,530
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: for a further inspection because

494
00:32:11,530 --> 00:32:13,210
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I am not the Vice Chair of DAR

495
00:32:13,210 --> 00:32:15,450
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: but I will do my best to share

496
00:32:15,450 --> 00:32:16,990
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: with you what they have given me.

497
00:32:17,570 --> 00:32:19,250
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And of course, you're always welcome

498
00:32:19,250 --> 00:32:21,510
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: to bring this up later on, including

499
00:32:21,510 --> 00:32:23,650
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: in the plenary. So, maraming

500
00:32:23,650 --> 00:32:25,610
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: salamat po. And mabuhay

501
00:32:25,610 --> 00:32:27,250
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: po ang agrikultura po.

502
00:32:27,250 --> 00:32:29,110
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Ang sektor ng agrikultura.

503
00:32:29,530 --> 00:32:31,350
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Dito po sa bayan natin.

504
00:32:32,770 --> 00:32:33,490
John Castillo: Thank you,

505
00:32:33,630 --> 00:32:34,890
John Castillo: Congresswoman Bondoc.

506
00:32:35,430 --> 00:32:36,970
John Castillo: We will now proceed.

507
00:32:38,710 --> 00:32:39,030
John Castillo: Wow.

508
00:32:39,510 --> 00:32:41,490
John Castillo: Sige ma'am, if it's alright. We will submit it

509
00:32:41,490 --> 00:32:43,490
John Castillo: to the task force for consolidation

510
00:32:43,490 --> 00:32:45,890
John Castillo: and for documentation.

511
00:32:46,430 --> 00:32:47,750
John Castillo: Thanks again, Congresswoman

512
00:32:47,750 --> 00:32:49,230
John Castillo: Bondoc. Now,

513
00:32:49,510 --> 00:32:50,870
John Castillo: we proceed with

514
00:32:50,870 --> 00:32:52,530
John Castillo: hearing from the

515
00:32:52,530 --> 00:32:55,290
John Castillo: Code NGO.

516
00:33:02,140 --> 00:33:03,580
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: Magandang umaga po

517
00:33:03,580 --> 00:33:05,140
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: sa lahat. We think that

518
00:33:05,380 --> 00:33:07,280
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the House of Representatives and

519
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,640
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the CPBRD for providing

520
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,180
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the CSOs today

521
00:33:11,180 --> 00:33:12,920
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: with this platform.

522
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,360
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: For a Code NGO, a budget

523
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,320
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: can genuinely be called

524
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,440
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: a people's budget only if it passes

525
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,340
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: three tests. First,

526
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,600
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: does it respond to people's actual

527
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:24,960
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: needs? Second,

528
00:33:25,340 --> 00:33:27,540
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: can citizens trace where every peso

529
00:33:27,540 --> 00:33:29,100
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: goes and what it delivers?

530
00:33:29,780 --> 00:33:31,360
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: Third, can citizens

531
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,940
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: meaningfully participate

532
00:33:32,940 --> 00:33:34,960
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: not only in consultation,

533
00:33:35,380 --> 00:33:37,040
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: but also in decision-making,

534
00:33:37,620 --> 00:33:39,380
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: implementation, monitoring,

535
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,120
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: and audit? For today,

536
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,400
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: due to limited time, we would like

537
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,800
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: to focus on two major items

538
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,600
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: in the proposed

539
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,020
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: appropriations.

540
00:33:50,300 --> 00:33:50,660
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: We

541
00:33:50,660 --> 00:33:53,240
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: request the

542
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,120
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: Congress to have a stronger

543
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,420
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: safeguards needed for large

544
00:33:57,420 --> 00:33:59,240
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: discretionary and special

545
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,500
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: purpose funds. The proposed

546
00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:03,380
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: local government support fund

547
00:34:03,380 --> 00:34:05,240
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: amounts to 53.53

548
00:34:05,380 --> 00:34:06,980
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: billion.

549
00:34:06,980 --> 00:34:08,420
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: The proposed

550
00:34:08,420 --> 00:34:10,980
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: of this, 37.49

551
00:34:11,780 --> 00:34:12,840
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: billion is for

552
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,920
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: financial assistance to

553
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,680
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: LGUs under allocation

554
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,820
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: criteria that are still

555
00:34:18,820 --> 00:34:20,620
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: to be developed. Meanwhile,

556
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,520
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: only 1 billion

557
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,260
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: or about 1.7%

558
00:34:25,260 --> 00:34:26,660
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: of the entire

559
00:34:26,660 --> 00:34:28,920
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: LGSF is expressly

560
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,740
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: subject to participatory

561
00:34:30,740 --> 00:34:32,580
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: budgeting requirements.

562
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,660
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: We therefore respectfully

563
00:34:34,660 --> 00:34:36,580
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: propose that objective

564
00:34:36,580 --> 00:34:38,600
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: needs-based criteria,

565
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,720
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: project-level disclosure,

566
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,260
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: documented community

567
00:34:43,260 --> 00:34:44,940
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: consultation, and

568
00:34:44,940 --> 00:34:46,980
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: independent citizen monitoring

569
00:34:46,980 --> 00:34:49,360
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: apply across the entire

570
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,260
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: LGSF and

571
00:34:51,260 --> 00:34:53,260
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: not the meager 1.7%.

572
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,400
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: We

573
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:56,880
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: also like to

574
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,100
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: propose that a certain

575
00:34:59,100 --> 00:35:01,400
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: portion of the LGSF

576
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,520
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: be used by the LGUs

577
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:04,260
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: to capacitate

578
00:35:04,660 --> 00:35:06,600
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the local CSOs.

579
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,780
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: CSOs are given a lot

580
00:35:08,780 --> 00:35:09,900
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: of responsibilities

581
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:12,600
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: doing third-party monitoring

582
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,700
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: but we do not have the budget

583
00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:16,660
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: necessary to capacitate

584
00:35:16,660 --> 00:35:18,120
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: all the local

585
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,220
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: CSOs that supposedly

586
00:35:21,220 --> 00:35:22,720
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: would have to monitor

587
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:24,780
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: these discretionary funds.

588
00:35:25,140 --> 00:35:26,720
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: So we respectfully appeal

589
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:28,840
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: to the House of Representatives

590
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,320
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: to also fund

591
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,760
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: so that

592
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,240
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the CSOs,

593
00:35:34,660 --> 00:35:36,980
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: will not be incompetent

594
00:35:36,980 --> 00:35:38,680
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: because they always say

595
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,240
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: that they will not engage

596
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:42,680
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the local CSOs at the bottom

597
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,020
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: because they do not understand

598
00:35:45,020 --> 00:35:45,780
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the budget.

599
00:35:46,420 --> 00:35:48,740
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: But then what are we doing?

600
00:35:49,260 --> 00:35:50,820
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: It is not because

601
00:35:50,820 --> 00:35:52,960
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: we are a people's organization,

602
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:53,780
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: CSOs.

603
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,760
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: It does not mean that we are not

604
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,540

00:35:58,540 --> 00:36:00,500

608
00:36:04,660 --> 00:36:07,300

00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:09,980
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: Barangay Program.

611
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,980

00:36:12,980 --> 00:36:13,580

621
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,680
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: 5 million per barangay.

622
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:33,610
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: We

00:36:33,610 --> 00:36:35,970

629
00:36:44,860 --> 00:36:46,560
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: independent evaluation

00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,580

00:36:48,580 --> 00:36:51,120
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: political influence, red tagging

632
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,100
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: or exclusion.

633
00:36:52,740 --> 00:36:53,780

634
00:36:54,220 --> 00:36:56,140

639
00:37:03,460 --> 00:37:05,980
John Castillo: A.J. Montesa, sir.

00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,860
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Yes. Hello. Magandang umaga po.

642
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,720
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: First of all, I would like to

643
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:22,160
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: thank po the panel,

644
00:37:23,380 --> 00:37:24,920
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Representative Abet Garcia

645
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,460
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: and everyone on this panel. We're very

646
00:37:26,460 --> 00:37:28,800
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: grateful that you took the time to be here.

647
00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:30,700
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: We understand that budget hearings are

648
00:37:30,700 --> 00:37:32,720
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: already ongoing so despite your

649
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:34,840
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: busy schedules, you took the time to listen to us po.

650
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,160
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: We are very appreciative

651
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,320
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: to the CPBRD, the Task Force

652
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: on People's Participation for

653
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: really hearing our voices.

654
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So we'd like to just flag to

655
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: maybe two or three big issues.

656
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Number one, we do understand

657
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that, this was already mentioned,

658
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the fiscal space of the budget is

659
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: shrinking. We know that

660
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: even before Congress gets to deliberate,

661
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: there are many automatic appropriations

662
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that already cut into the budget.

663
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So 7.2 trillion, not all of

664
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that is available for Congress

665
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: to legislate, right?

666
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: For every 100 pesos

667
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,660
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: in the budget, 36 pesos lang po talaga po.

668
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Yung kayang i-legislate ng Congress.

669
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So we understand that you are quite constrained

670
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: with that. So we hope that

671
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: we can consider things that will

672
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: address that shrinking fiscal space,

673
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the national tax allotment, the debt interest

674
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: payments, the automatic appropriations

675
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: to military and uniform personnel. Lahat po

676
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: ng iyon are macro-fiscal

677
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: things that perhaps Congress can address

678
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: later on.

679
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: And so that leads us to the bigger point

680
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that for us to have a people-centered

681
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: budget, we do hope that we can address

682
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the issues that the people are facing.

683
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: I think the 2026 budget

684
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: was passed before the

685
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: fuel crisis came about.

686
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: And so it was not necessarily responsive

687
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: to that crisis. So we're facing

688
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: affordability crisis in food.

689
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Inflation for food is almost

690
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: 20% po. Inflation

691
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: for fuel, inflation

692
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: for electricity, lahat po ng

693
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: pagtataas po ng presyo are

694
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: things that our people are

695
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: facing po. And so we hope that there

696
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: can be a focus on specific line items.

697
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Programs, activities, and

698
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: projects that will address really the

699
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: day-to-day basic needs of the people

700
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: despite the limited fiscal space.

701
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: And so we would

702
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: also like to flag that despite the

703
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: 6% increase in the budget, we are

704
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: noticing that there are, it's

705
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: not an even increase. There are budget

706
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: decreases for DepEd, for CHED,

707
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: for TESDA, for DOH, for

708
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: PhilHealth, for DA. So all of these

709
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: core agencies, nabawasan po yung budget

710
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: because of the lack of fiscal space. So we hope that's

711
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: something that Congress,

712
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: through the power of the purse, can correct yung

713
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: proposal po ng National Expenditure Program.

714
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: I think the last

715
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: item that we would like to flag are some

716
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: of the red flags that we have been tagging.

717
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: We've been very vigilant in monitoring

718
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the budget. We recognize

719
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that a lot of the line items are crucial.

720
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: For example, infrastructure is very important.

721
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Flood control is very important.

722
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Pagpapagawa ng mga daan,

723
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: mga bridges and all of that are important.

724
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: What we did notice though is

725
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: there has been a tendency in previous years to

726
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: politicize these line items.

727
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So we do hope Congress can

728
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: enact some safeguard measures.

729
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Make sure that any

730
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: amendments or any proposals to add

731
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: infrastructure projects will be supported by

732
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: master plans, by programs

733
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: of works that will be transparent

734
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: and accessible to the public. So that

735
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the people can see that the trust is

736
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: restored, that the budget is not based on politics

737
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: but on development plans. The second

738
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: is yung mga ayuda programs.

739
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: People are starting to become more critical of

740
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: this. We hope that, for example,

741
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: MAIFIP, AICS, TUPAD,

742
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: these are not things that will drive

743
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: patronage politics.

744
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,680
John Castillo: Kindly wrap up.

745
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: We hope that we can focus on more rules-based,

746
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: rights-based social

747
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: protection where the citizens can feel

748
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that we are really accessing our rights rather

749
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: than having to beg from politicians.

750
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: And then the third is yung local

751
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: government support fund.

752
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: I think the main criticism has been

753
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: there's really a lack of transparency on the

754
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: local government support fund. The fear that

755
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: most of us are flagging is that this might be

756
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: an advanced election budget already.

757
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So we do hope, I think just to close po,

758
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that with all the corruption

759
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: scandals that have plagued our budget,

760
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: we do hope that this is not a business as usual

761
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: budget, but that Congress can correct

762
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: a lot of the mistakes that were made in the past

763
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: and that we will really try to restore the trust

764
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:23,660
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: of the people in our institutions.

765
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,220
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Yun lamang po. Maraming salamat.

766
00:41:25,620 --> 00:41:28,680
John Castillo: Thank you very much for that thorough

767
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,680
John Castillo: inputs or assessments.

768
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,680
John Castillo: As we continue

769
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,680
John Castillo: to examine the 2027

770
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,680
John Castillo: national budget from

771
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,680
John Castillo: the standpoint of

772
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,680
John Castillo: economic policies,

773
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,680
John Castillo: we may now call

774
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,680
John Castillo: the representative from the Makati

775
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,680
John Castillo: Business Club.

776
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,680
John Castillo: Ms. Eunice Tanilon.

777
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,810
John Castillo: Thank you.

778
00:41:52,090 --> 00:41:54,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: Hello. Good morning.

779
00:41:54,090 --> 00:41:56,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: Abbot Garcia and of course the panel.

780
00:41:56,090 --> 00:41:58,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: Thank you so much. This is our second

781
00:41:58,090 --> 00:42:00,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: time around and we're glad that this is

782
00:42:00,090 --> 00:42:02,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: happening again and we have space to have

783
00:42:02,090 --> 00:42:04,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: a dialogue on the budget.

784
00:42:04,090 --> 00:42:06,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: So once again, I'm Eunice Tanilon.

785
00:42:06,090 --> 00:42:08,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: I'm the governance and sustainability lead

786
00:42:08,090 --> 00:42:10,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: of Makati Business Club. Just for the

787
00:42:10,090 --> 00:42:12,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: reference of the room, MBC is

788
00:42:12,090 --> 00:42:14,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: an industry association of 400

789
00:42:14,090 --> 00:42:16,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: of the largest companies in the

790
00:42:16,090 --> 00:42:18,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: country. Our membership base is mostly

791
00:42:18,090 --> 00:42:20,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: CEOs.

792
00:42:20,090 --> 00:42:22,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: I'm here on behalf of our executive director,

793
00:42:22,090 --> 00:42:24,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: Julia Abad, and of course our trustees.

794
00:42:24,090 --> 00:42:26,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: To clarify,

795
00:42:26,090 --> 00:42:28,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: business's voice here in the budget,

796
00:42:28,090 --> 00:42:30,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: we're not asking for a bigger

797
00:42:30,090 --> 00:42:32,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: share of anything. Business

798
00:42:32,090 --> 00:42:34,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: is a user of what the budget buys.

799
00:42:34,090 --> 00:42:36,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: Power, roads, ports,

800
00:42:36,090 --> 00:42:38,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: skills, and a

801
00:42:38,090 --> 00:42:40,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: working regulatory front desk.

802
00:42:40,090 --> 00:42:42,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: We believe that governance is an

803
00:42:42,090 --> 00:42:44,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: economic issue for us.

804
00:42:44,090 --> 00:42:46,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: I think for some comments on

805
00:42:46,090 --> 00:42:48,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: the economy, so

806
00:42:48,090 --> 00:42:50,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: 2.6%

807
00:42:50,090 --> 00:42:52,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: in the first half, the weakest outside

808
00:42:52,090 --> 00:42:54,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: the pandemic since 2009.

809
00:42:54,090 --> 00:42:56,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: The DBCC has already

810
00:42:56,090 --> 00:42:58,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: lowered its target once and

811
00:42:58,090 --> 00:43:00,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: we really hope they're right. But the

812
00:43:00,090 --> 00:43:02,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: second half now has hit to 4.4%

813
00:43:02,090 --> 00:43:04,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: just to reach the bottom

814
00:43:04,090 --> 00:43:06,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: of that range. Debt now

815
00:43:06,090 --> 00:43:08,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: stands at 66%

816
00:43:08,090 --> 00:43:10,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: of GDP. The government's own

817
00:43:10,090 --> 00:43:12,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: fiscal program set it at 56.6%.

818
00:43:12,090 --> 00:43:14,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: That's nearly 10 points

819
00:43:14,090 --> 00:43:16,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: higher than initially planned.

820
00:43:16,090 --> 00:43:18,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: And every point is money

821
00:43:18,090 --> 00:43:20,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: that goes to interest instead of

822
00:43:20,090 --> 00:43:22,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: roads, classrooms,

823
00:43:22,090 --> 00:43:24,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: or hospitals. The deficit

824
00:43:24,090 --> 00:43:26,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: is at 5.5% of GDP

825
00:43:26,090 --> 00:43:28,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: against a target of 3.5, which

826
00:43:28,090 --> 00:43:30,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: means we are borrowing more

827
00:43:30,090 --> 00:43:32,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: than we said we would to fund a

828
00:43:32,090 --> 00:43:34,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: budget that might be delivering

829
00:43:34,090 --> 00:43:36,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: less than it promised. So

830
00:43:36,090 --> 00:43:38,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: we really want to be able to clarify

831
00:43:38,090 --> 00:43:40,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: with these moving

832
00:43:40,090 --> 00:43:42,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: targets if we're asking Congress

833
00:43:42,090 --> 00:43:44,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: to be able to assess

834
00:43:44,090 --> 00:43:46,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: given the, in light of the

835
00:43:46,090 --> 00:43:48,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: new, with the performance of our

836
00:43:48,090 --> 00:43:50,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: economy right now.

837
00:43:50,090 --> 00:43:52,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: So we're really not here to score a point.

838
00:43:52,090 --> 00:43:54,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: Public spending is an engine of this

839
00:43:54,090 --> 00:43:56,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: economy and when it stalls, business

840
00:43:56,090 --> 00:43:58,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: stalls with it.

841
00:43:58,090 --> 00:44:00,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: So our two ask is really to help government

842
00:44:00,090 --> 00:44:02,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: catch up on spending that's already funded

843
00:44:02,090 --> 00:44:04,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: and hold our economic

844
00:44:04,090 --> 00:44:06,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: managers to the numbers that

845
00:44:06,090 --> 00:44:08,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: they set. One process,

846
00:44:08,090 --> 00:44:10,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: we really hope for transparency

847
00:44:10,090 --> 00:44:12,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: before the money moves,

848
00:44:12,090 --> 00:44:14,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: not after. So we really want to be

849
00:44:14,090 --> 00:44:16,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: able to see published criteria,

850
00:44:16,090 --> 00:44:18,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: beneficiary lists,

851
00:44:18,090 --> 00:44:20,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: and scores before

852
00:44:20,090 --> 00:44:22,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: release. Especially at the project level,

853
00:44:22,090 --> 00:44:24,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: this is very important for

854
00:44:24,090 --> 00:44:26,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: businesses, especially for assessing

855
00:44:26,090 --> 00:44:28,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: execution risk and

856
00:44:28,090 --> 00:44:30,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: execution planning.

857
00:44:30,090 --> 00:44:32,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: We also want

858
00:44:32,090 --> 00:44:34,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: to call to pass FOI into law

859
00:44:34,090 --> 00:44:36,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: as part of the broad

860
00:44:36,090 --> 00:44:38,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: process transparency

861
00:44:38,090 --> 00:44:40,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: reforms. So MBC

862
00:44:40,090 --> 00:44:42,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: stands ready to convene the private sector

863
00:44:42,090 --> 00:44:44,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: and be a partner with government

864
00:44:44,090 --> 00:44:46,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: for progress as the leading private

865
00:44:46,090 --> 00:44:48,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: sector voice across broad coalitions.

866
00:44:48,090 --> 00:44:50,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: We are guided by our core

867
00:44:50,090 --> 00:44:52,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: belief that better governance creates a

868
00:44:52,090 --> 00:44:54,090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: better environment for business. Thank you.

869
00:44:54,090 --> 00:44:56,090
John Castillo: Thank you for your

870
00:44:56,090 --> 00:44:58,090
John Castillo: inputs from the Makati Business

871
00:44:58,090 --> 00:44:59,860
John Castillo: Club. There have been

872
00:44:59,860 --> 00:45:01,980
John Castillo: issues raised on

873
00:45:01,980 --> 00:45:04,360
John Castillo: LGSF, the tests

874
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,080
John Castillo: for meaningful participation

875
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,460
John Castillo: already for the NTF-ELCAC

876
00:45:08,460 --> 00:45:10,140
John Castillo: budget. The PBC

877
00:45:10,140 --> 00:45:11,980
John Castillo: also raised about the issues on

878
00:45:11,980 --> 00:45:13,940
John Castillo: NTA, debt interest services,

879
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:16,260
John Castillo: and of course the people-centered budget.

880
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,500
John Castillo: Yun yung mga common trend na nakikita natin.

881
00:45:18,860 --> 00:45:20,600
John Castillo: And the 6% budget

882
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:21,940
John Castillo: which is not

883
00:45:21,940 --> 00:45:23,740
John Castillo: tantamount

884
00:45:23,740 --> 00:45:26,380
John Castillo: to the decreases and increases

885
00:45:26,380 --> 00:45:27,880
John Castillo: in some other agencies.

886
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,060
John Castillo: Of course, the importance

887
00:45:30,060 --> 00:45:31,220
John Castillo: of infrastructure

888
00:45:31,220 --> 00:45:33,700
John Castillo: and rules-based

889
00:45:33,700 --> 00:45:35,820
John Castillo: budgeting which should not

890
00:45:35,820 --> 00:45:37,440
John Castillo: be a business as usual

891
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,560
John Castillo: should reflect

892
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,540
John Castillo: the crisis.

893
00:45:42,860 --> 00:45:43,720
John Castillo: And of course, the

894
00:45:43,720 --> 00:45:45,880
John Castillo: Makati Business Club would really want to

895
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,680
John Castillo: highlight the role of businesses in

896
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,740
John Castillo: economic development which

897
00:45:49,740 --> 00:45:52,040
John Castillo: asks for target

898
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,920
John Castillo: evaluation for

899
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:55,960
John Castillo: economic performance, catch-up

900
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,440
John Castillo: policies, and transparency.

901
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,440
John Castillo: Now, we move to

902
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,340

909
00:46:15,820 --> 00:46:17,620
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: ito sa session ng mga

910
00:46:17,620 --> 00:46:19,700
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: People's Budget Review. And actually,

911
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,300
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: nabanggit na actually din ng

912
00:46:21,300 --> 00:46:23,560
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: People's Budget Coalition yung medyo concerns

913
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:24,640
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: din ng IBON Foundation.

914
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,360
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: Yung 2027

915
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:28,400
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: budget is

916
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,000
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: medyo nagiging obvious yung

917
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,000
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: pagbaba talaga for social services

918
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:33,560
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: especially

919
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,540
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: for those na

920
00:46:36,540 --> 00:46:39,300
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: yung sa education, sa health,

921
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:40,480
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: etc., etc. Pero

922
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,120
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: sa particular po, hindi ko kasi nabanggit

923
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,040
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: kanina dun sa agriculture

924
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,180
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: pero as we prepare

925
00:46:47,180 --> 00:46:48,560
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: for El Nino kasi,

926
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,080
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: medyo bumaba yung target for

927
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,100
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: NIA na about

928
00:46:53,100 --> 00:46:55,120
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: 26% yata yung binaba niya.

929
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:56,940
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: So, medyo na-flag namin yung

930
00:46:56,940 --> 00:46:58,240
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: nasa concern sa amin.

931
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,380
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: Tapos po, yun nga,

932
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,080
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: yung fiscal framework natin ngayon

933
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,420
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: medyo same-same old.

934
00:47:05,240 --> 00:47:07,040
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: Tapos, yung

935
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:08,560
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: pagka-core talaga sana ng

936
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,780
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: people's budgeting and people-centered

937
00:47:10,780 --> 00:47:13,240
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: ay sana ma-uplift natin

938
00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:15,140
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: yung talagang core na mga

939
00:47:15,140 --> 00:47:17,260
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: sectors like agriculture

940
00:47:17,260 --> 00:47:18,460
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: and industry kasi

941
00:47:18,460 --> 00:47:21,420
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: as it is said kanina,

942
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:22,840
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: medyo kailangan talaga siyang

943
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,340
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: bigyan ng budgeting ngayon.

944
00:47:24,340 --> 00:47:26,340
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: And with the

945
00:47:27,180 --> 00:47:27,600
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: core,

946
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,980
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: departments having about

947
00:47:30,980 --> 00:47:33,020
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: 7 to 8% na decrease,

948
00:47:33,260 --> 00:47:35,800
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: medyo flag siya sa amin.

949
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,140
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: So, mas ganun lang naman po.

950
00:47:37,900 --> 00:47:39,080
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: And siguro,

951
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,900
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: reiterate ko lang din yung at least

952
00:47:40,900 --> 00:47:43,100
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: sa part ng IBON, yung

953
00:47:43,100 --> 00:47:45,360
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: dun sa Department of

954
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:46,980
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: Public Works and Highways,

955
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,240
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: yung at least specificity

956
00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:50,800
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: sana ng

957
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,260
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: yung kung gaano

958
00:47:53,260 --> 00:47:54,740
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: kahaba yung road networks

959
00:47:54,740 --> 00:47:56,080
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: para at least kahit paano

960
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,040
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: ma-

961
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,400
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: audit or at least makita kung

962
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,580
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: sumasapat ba or hindi yung

963
00:48:02,580 --> 00:48:04,600
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: budget for those.

964
00:48:04,980 --> 00:48:05,800
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: So, yun lang naman po.

965
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,880
John Castillo: Thank you, Sir Mr. Parallon

966
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:09,960
John Castillo: from IBON Foundation.

967
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,600
John Castillo: At this point, we now open the floor

968
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,720
John Castillo: for feedback from our panelists

969
00:48:14,720 --> 00:48:16,920
John Castillo: from the Senior Vice Chair and other

970
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,620
John Castillo: Vice Chairpersons. Thank you.

971
00:48:19,900 --> 00:48:20,540
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Thank you.

972
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:22,820
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: First, I'll tackle the

973
00:48:22,820 --> 00:48:23,660
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: LGSF.

974
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kasi ang akala po nila ang LGSF

975
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:27,560
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: is sa

976
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:28,380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ang

977
00:48:28,380 --> 00:48:30,280
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nag-implement is DILG.

978
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, hindi po sila nag-implement

979
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng LGSF.

980
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Ang trabaho po ng

981
00:48:37,020 --> 00:48:39,660
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: DILG is to supervise

982
00:48:39,660 --> 00:48:41,200
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung implementation

983
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,940
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng local government unit.

984
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:45,080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And ang LGUs po,

985
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kasama ang barangay, munisipyo,

986
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: direkta po sila na

987
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:50,920
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: humihingi sa portal ng

988
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:51,640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: DBM.

989
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But I agree na dapat po

990
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,060
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: may transparency.

991
00:48:57,060 --> 00:48:58,340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And I think,

992
00:48:58,380 --> 00:48:58,760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: safeguard.

993
00:48:59,660 --> 00:49:02,060
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And luckily, magaling po ang ating

994
00:49:02,060 --> 00:49:04,760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Senior Vice Chair. May bill po siya

995
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:05,760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: about meritocracy.

996
00:49:06,660 --> 00:49:08,880
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, kung magaling na LGU,

997
00:49:09,660 --> 00:49:10,600
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: bigyan na mas malaki.

998
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,320
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, isa po yun sa

999
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,000
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nakikita natin na pwede pong gawin

1000
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,560
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa kagalingan po ni

1001
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Senior Vice Chair

1002
00:49:20,260 --> 00:49:22,220
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Abet, di po sa pambabola.

1003
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:23,880
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Dahil nag-mayor po ako,

1004
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:25,780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nag-mayor rin po siya,

1005
00:49:25,780 --> 00:49:28,180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nag-governor. So, alam po namin yung

1006
00:49:28,180 --> 00:49:29,760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nangyayari sa LGUs.

1007
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,000
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But, pinaka-importante sa

1008
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: LGSF is, even sa

1009
00:49:34,260 --> 00:49:36,260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: national, I think this should be

1010
00:49:36,260 --> 00:49:38,260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: data-driven. Even our

1011
00:49:38,260 --> 00:49:38,980
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: programs.

1012
00:49:40,420 --> 00:49:42,080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Like, in our district,

1013
00:49:42,620 --> 00:49:44,640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we focus on, we call it

1014
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:45,080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: HEWI.

1015
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:47,620
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Health, Age for Health,

1016
00:49:48,240 --> 00:49:49,940
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Education, Electrification,

1017
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:52,380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Water, and Infrastructure.

1018
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:54,340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But, when I became mayor,

1019
00:49:54,500 --> 00:49:56,520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nilagyan ko pa ng HEWIL.

1020
00:49:57,260 --> 00:49:58,160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kasi, pag na-complete,

1021
00:49:58,180 --> 00:50:00,080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: makikita mo yun, yung basic services,

1022
00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:02,060
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pagkakaroon ka ng livelihood.

1023
00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:04,040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Okay? And I think,

1024
00:50:04,140 --> 00:50:05,660
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: dapat, yung ating

1025
00:50:05,660 --> 00:50:08,080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: paggawa ng

1026
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: programa, paggawa

1027
00:50:10,260 --> 00:50:12,180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng developmental plan,

1028
00:50:12,740 --> 00:50:14,180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: dapat, galing po sa baba.

1029
00:50:14,780 --> 00:50:16,100
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kasi, may budget ang

1030
00:50:16,100 --> 00:50:18,340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: barangay, may budget ang

1031
00:50:18,340 --> 00:50:20,100
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: munisipyo, may budget

1032
00:50:20,100 --> 00:50:22,300
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ang probinsya, may budget sa

1033
00:50:22,300 --> 00:50:23,540
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: national government.

1034
00:50:24,100 --> 00:50:25,720
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, parang walang duplication.

1035
00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:27,520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, what we do,

1036
00:50:27,860 --> 00:50:28,100
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: well,

1037
00:50:28,180 --> 00:50:29,680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: this is my practice,

1038
00:50:30,020 --> 00:50:32,020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: every time may bago pong

1039
00:50:32,020 --> 00:50:34,020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mga barangay captain, I do

1040
00:50:34,020 --> 00:50:35,280
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: a caravan. That's me.

1041
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:37,880
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kasi, gusto kong makuha yung

1042
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: data galing mismo sa kanila.

1043
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:41,900
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And even po yung

1044
00:50:41,900 --> 00:50:43,680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa CSO,

1045
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:45,240
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: actually po, may

1046
00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:47,640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: budget din po ang

1047
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: DILG para po sa

1048
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,860
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mga CSO na

1049
00:50:51,860 --> 00:50:53,600
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pwede pong mag-supervise

1050
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nung nakukuha natin sa

1051
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,120
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: LGSF. So,

1052
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,280
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ang DILG po ay

1053
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:00,780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: bawat munisipyo,

1054
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:02,680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: meron po silang mga

1055
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,000
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: officers, no? So, but

1056
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,720
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I think you have to be recognized

1057
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:08,800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: also, ng

1058
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: munisipyo as the CSO.

1059
00:51:11,940 --> 00:51:13,220
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, hindi po pwede na

1068
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,840
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pong mga proyekto. That's why

1069
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,980
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: napaka-importante po itong

1070
00:51:32,980 --> 00:51:34,960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ginagawa natin itong dialogue na ito

1071

1073
00:51:38,700 --> 00:51:40,780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: and kung ano rin po yung ginagawa

1074
00:51:40,780 --> 00:51:42,960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng Kongreso. Kasi pagdating

1075
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:44,760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: po sa LGSF, wala

1076
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: po kami dyan. Ang

1077
00:51:46,380 --> 00:51:48,800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: local government, isa, direkta na po

1078
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yan sa DBM. But, the

1079
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,100
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: thrust of the government is to empower

1080
00:51:53,100 --> 00:51:54,900
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: our local government

1081
00:51:54,900 --> 00:51:56,760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: units. Okay? And,

1082
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,820
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pagdating rin po sa

1083
00:51:58,820 --> 00:51:59,740
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ELCAC,

1084
00:52:00,580 --> 00:52:02,920
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: first of all, I'm against red-tagging.

1085
00:52:03,380 --> 00:52:04,500
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Okay? But,

1086
00:52:04,620 --> 00:52:06,780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: NTF-ELCAC is very important

1087
00:52:06,780 --> 00:52:08,900
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: because I think

1088
00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:10,360
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung communism,

1089
00:52:11,020 --> 00:52:12,620
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: this is a social problem.

1090
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:15,040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Okay? When you address

1091
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:16,460
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: the problem socially,

1092
00:52:17,020 --> 00:52:18,500
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: like building roads

1093
00:52:18,500 --> 00:52:21,220
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa mga farthest barangay, sa mga bukid,

1094
00:52:21,660 --> 00:52:23,080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa coastal, isla,

1095
00:52:23,660 --> 00:52:24,720
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: if you build roads,

1096
00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:26,440
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: if you build schools,

1097
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,480
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: water, electricity,

1098
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:30,860
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: infra,

1099
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,540
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: then you solve the social problem.

1100
00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:35,740
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, wala na pong mamumundok.

1101
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:37,840
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Ano po? Dahil kami

1102
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,460
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: naman po, bilang

1103
00:52:39,460 --> 00:52:40,840
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: public servant,

1104
00:52:41,700 --> 00:52:43,340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: gusto po natin na

1105
00:52:43,340 --> 00:52:45,760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pinaka-importante sa atin ang peace and order.

1106
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:47,800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Ayaw po natin na

1107
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nagkakaroon ng barila ng

1108
00:52:49,420 --> 00:52:51,200
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Pilipino sa Pilipino.

1109
00:52:51,980 --> 00:52:53,740
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kundi gusto natin, nagtutulungan

1110
00:52:53,740 --> 00:52:55,540
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: po siguro po sila.

1111
00:52:55,780 --> 00:52:56,780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Ano po? So, yun na po,

1112
00:52:56,780 --> 00:52:59,060
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung important sa akin

1113
00:52:59,060 --> 00:53:00,400
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nung NTF-ELCAC,

1114
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:02,680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: dahil ina-address po talaga

1115
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,480
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung pinaka, yung may

1116
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:05,820
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: insurgency problem,

1117
00:53:06,340 --> 00:53:07,920
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pag na-develop po po yung

1118
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: skwelahan, kuryente,

1119
00:53:11,580 --> 00:53:12,960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: tubig, daan,

1120
00:53:13,100 --> 00:53:13,820
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: at kabuhayan,

1121
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,540
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: wala na po tayong magiging problema,

1122
00:53:16,780 --> 00:53:18,000
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: lalo na sa insurgency.

1123
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:20,480
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And dahil po dito, kung maganda po yung

1124
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:21,720
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: peace and order po natin,

1125
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,460
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: napakaganda po ng Pilipinas.

1126
00:53:24,460 --> 00:53:25,020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Um,

1127
00:53:26,780 --> 00:53:27,640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: actually,

1128
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,620
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: tourist areas natin,

1129
00:53:30,740 --> 00:53:33,240
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: napakaganda, but we need to develop it.

1130
00:53:33,460 --> 00:53:35,640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: No? So, dun rin po tayo

1131
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:36,180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: papunta.

1132
00:53:36,740 --> 00:53:39,020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Okay? So, I appreciate, ma'am,

1133
00:53:39,060 --> 00:53:40,540
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: the questions,

1134
00:53:40,740 --> 00:53:42,640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: the suggestions. Actually,

1135
00:53:42,820 --> 00:53:44,780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kahit ako rin po, hindi ko rin po alam

1136
00:53:44,780 --> 00:53:46,160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kung paano ina-approve

1137
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng DBM, kung sino po

1138
00:53:49,020 --> 00:53:49,940
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung bibigyan

1139
00:53:49,940 --> 00:53:52,680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng LGSF. But,

1140
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,920
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: with that, we can ask them

1141
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:56,460
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ano ba yung criteria

1142
00:53:56,460 --> 00:53:58,580
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: para po mas maging transparent po

1143
00:53:58,580 --> 00:54:00,660
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: tayo? Kasi nagtatanong rin po

1144
00:54:00,660 --> 00:54:01,960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung aking mga barangay,

1145
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nagtatanong rin po yung aming mga

1146
00:54:04,420 --> 00:54:06,380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mayor, paano ba pag-approve

1147
00:54:06,380 --> 00:54:08,320
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: dito? Pero kung transparent, transparent

1148
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: na ba po? Kasi may portal po sila.

1149
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:12,260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But, in terms of approval,

1150
00:54:12,940 --> 00:54:14,600
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I think we need to improve,

1151
00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:16,520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: no? So, I support the bill

1152
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,120
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: of SVC

1153
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,400
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: for meritocracy na pwedeng

1154
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:21,960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: i-apply po sa LGSF.

1155
00:54:22,380 --> 00:54:22,780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Thank you po.

1156
00:54:22,780 --> 00:54:24,440
John Castillo: Thank you, Congressman

1157
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,080
John Castillo: Arnie, for those insights.

1158
00:54:26,460 --> 00:54:28,040
John Castillo: Any other feedback

1159
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,020
John Castillo: for our observations?

1160
00:54:32,020 --> 00:54:32,660
John Castillo: SVC

1161
00:54:32,660 --> 00:54:33,080
John Castillo: Chair?

1162
00:54:34,420 --> 00:54:35,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you very much.

1163
00:54:37,540 --> 00:54:38,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Maraming salamat din

1164
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kay Vice Chair Arnie for

1165
00:54:40,020 --> 00:54:42,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: supporting the bill on

1166
00:54:42,500 --> 00:54:44,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: meritocracy. Dun po sa

1167
00:54:44,660 --> 00:54:45,360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hindi pa

1168
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hindi pa

1169
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nakikita itong bill na ito,

1170
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:52,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: it is something worth

1171
00:54:52,620 --> 00:54:54,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: looking into.

1172
00:54:55,340 --> 00:54:56,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: That's a lot of work.

1173
00:54:56,460 --> 00:54:58,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Dahil it will

1174
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: really incentivize

1175
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:01,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: good performance.

1176
00:55:02,580 --> 00:55:04,280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Sa Makati Business Club,

1177
00:55:04,780 --> 00:55:06,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: every time I present this to

1178
00:55:06,460 --> 00:55:08,280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the private sector, especially yung mga

1179
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: companies sa Makati

1180
00:55:10,660 --> 00:55:12,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Business Club na very, very successful,

1181
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:14,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I am sure

1182
00:55:14,380 --> 00:55:16,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: they won't reach

1183
00:55:16,460 --> 00:55:18,160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that level kung

1184
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: wala silang system of meritocracy

1185
00:55:20,380 --> 00:55:21,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: in their organization.

1186
00:55:22,380 --> 00:55:24,360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: For sure, they

1187
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: reward good performance, kaya lumagod

1188
00:55:26,460 --> 00:55:28,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ko yung kanilang kumpanya.

1189
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:29,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: But in government,

1190
00:55:30,300 --> 00:55:31,760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hindi masyadong malinaw ito.

1191
00:55:32,020 --> 00:55:33,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: As we may feel

1192
00:55:33,900 --> 00:55:35,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and we can see, na

1193
00:55:35,860 --> 00:55:37,760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: palaging nandyan yung question

1194
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:38,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng

1195
00:55:38,220 --> 00:55:42,360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: fragmented government

1196
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from the national, regional

1197
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and local. And that

1198
00:55:46,020 --> 00:55:48,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: contributes to the inefficiencies

1199
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:50,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that we feel

1200
00:55:50,060 --> 00:55:52,260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and we see at the moment.

1201
00:55:52,460 --> 00:55:54,080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, itong meritocracy

1202
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is meant to

1203
00:55:56,460 --> 00:55:59,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: address that,

1204
00:55:59,700 --> 00:56:00,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: address the

1205
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sins of commission,

1206
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:04,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: which is corruption,

1207
00:56:05,140 --> 00:56:07,140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and sins of omission,

1208
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:08,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: which is lack of

1209
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: performance in a proactive

1210
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:13,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: manner, in context

1211
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from barangay,

1212
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:16,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: municipality,

1213
00:56:17,420 --> 00:56:18,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: city, congressional

1214
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: district, aggregated

1215
00:56:21,100 --> 00:56:22,980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa province, region, and

1216
00:56:22,980 --> 00:56:24,400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: national. So,

1217
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:26,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kapag dun po natin,

1218
00:56:26,460 --> 00:56:28,780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nilagay yung national

1219
00:56:28,780 --> 00:56:30,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budget, aggregated and

1220
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: disaggregated, then mas

1221
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: transparent, mas detailed,

1222
00:56:35,380 --> 00:56:36,780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mas accountable, at

1223
00:56:36,780 --> 00:56:38,820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pwedeng gawing demand-driven

1224
00:56:38,820 --> 00:56:40,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and data-driven. From the

1225
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:42,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ground up, yung sinasabi ni

1226
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Vice Chair Arnie na

1227
00:56:44,060 --> 00:56:46,840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: bottom-up budgeting

1228
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:48,140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na demand-driven and

1229
00:56:48,140 --> 00:56:49,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: data-driven. So,

1230
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yun po ay dumadaan

1231
00:56:52,860 --> 00:56:54,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na po sa ating legislative

1232
00:56:54,580 --> 00:56:55,400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: process.

1233
00:56:56,460 --> 00:56:58,080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And hopefully, ma-approve

1234
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng ating

1235
00:56:59,900 --> 00:57:02,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the committee, and

1236
00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:04,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: eventually, sa second reading

1237
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:05,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at hanggang maging third reading,

1238
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:08,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: meron na rin pong counterpart

1239
00:57:08,060 --> 00:57:09,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: bill ito sa Senate.

1240
00:57:10,340 --> 00:57:12,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And by the way, ang nag-chair po ng

1241
00:57:12,100 --> 00:57:14,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: TWG nito, I know other than

1242
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Vice Chair Monique,

1243
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:17,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na talagang

1244
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hinimay-himay with all

1245
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:21,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the national agencies

1246
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and representatives

1247
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from the League of

1248
00:57:26,460 --> 00:57:28,420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Local Governments. Nang sa ganun, we can

1249
00:57:28,420 --> 00:57:30,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: come up with a very relevant

1250
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and effective meritocracy

1251
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: bill. So, eventually,

1252
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:36,400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung ating national budget,

1253
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:38,420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kapag napasa ito,

1254
00:57:38,620 --> 00:57:39,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: in its version,

1255
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: for the first time,

1256
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:44,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: number one, magkakaroon

1257
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:45,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: tayo ng

1258
00:57:45,580 --> 00:57:48,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: isang bottom line,

1259
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:50,400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: which we

1260
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:54,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: call

1261
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:55,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: HDI++.

1262
00:57:56,460 --> 00:57:58,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Ginawa po nating

1263
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mathematical equation

1264
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung ambition natin

1265
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:03,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 2040,

1266
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: which is the national vision.

1267
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Of course, very abstract,

1268
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:09,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: very lofty

1269
00:58:09,620 --> 00:58:11,840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: vision.

1270
00:58:12,380 --> 00:58:14,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Ginawa nating something that is

1271
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: since mathematical equation siya,

1272
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:17,980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: something that is measurable,

1273
00:58:19,140 --> 00:58:20,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: something that can be

1274
00:58:20,500 --> 00:58:22,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: measured

1275
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:24,880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and managed in context.

1276
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:25,940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So,

1277
00:58:26,460 --> 00:58:28,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: imagine 42,000

1278
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: baranggays participating

1279
00:58:30,580 --> 00:58:32,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: in moving forward

1280
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: our national vision

1281
00:58:34,660 --> 00:58:36,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and being rewarded

1282
00:58:36,900 --> 00:58:38,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: as they

1283
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: accomplish

1284
00:58:40,500 --> 00:58:42,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the targets.

1285
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:44,420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Imagine that.

1286
00:58:44,660 --> 00:58:46,840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, for the first time,

1287
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:48,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: on the same page,

1288
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:50,820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: national government, regional government,

1289
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: all local government entities

1290
00:58:53,220 --> 00:58:55,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: geared towards

1291
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:55,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: a single,

1292
00:58:56,460 --> 00:58:57,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: bottom line.

1293
00:58:57,780 --> 00:58:58,820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, eventually,

1294
00:58:58,960 --> 00:58:59,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung LGSF,

1295
00:59:00,260 --> 00:59:01,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na, syempre, ngayon,

1296
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:02,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: we're in crisis,

1297
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:04,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: talagang lahat ng LGUs

1298
00:59:04,180 --> 00:59:04,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: tinutulungan.

1299
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:06,640
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Whether hard projects

1300
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or soft projects,

1301
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:10,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mga bigas

1302
00:59:10,660 --> 00:59:12,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and other financial assistance,

1303
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:14,360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: other infra na kailangan,

1304
00:59:14,540 --> 00:59:15,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: dahil we're in crisis.

1305
00:59:16,140 --> 00:59:16,360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Pero,

1306
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:18,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kapag nalampasan na po natin

1307
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:19,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: itong crisis na ito,

1308
00:59:19,900 --> 00:59:21,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: gusto natin na hindi na

1309
00:59:21,100 --> 00:59:22,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: shotgun approach.

1310
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:23,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Gusto natin na

1311
00:59:23,500 --> 00:59:24,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: performance-based.

1312
00:59:25,140 --> 00:59:25,400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Para,

1313
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:26,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung magagagap,

1314
00:59:26,460 --> 00:59:26,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: magagaling

1315
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na mga LGUs,

1316
00:59:28,980 --> 00:59:31,140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mahila yung hindi masyadong magagaling

1317
00:59:31,140 --> 00:59:32,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pataas.

1318
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:33,400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: As opposed to,

1319
00:59:33,780 --> 00:59:34,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kung wala kang

1320
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: system of meritocracy

1321
00:59:37,180 --> 00:59:38,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and you don't incentivize

1322
00:59:39,140 --> 00:59:40,280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: good performance,

1323
00:59:40,740 --> 00:59:41,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung mga hindi magagaling

1324
00:59:41,980 --> 00:59:43,760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at palakasan lang yung sistema,

1325
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ihilahin yung mga magagaling na LGUs

1326
00:59:46,540 --> 00:59:47,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pababa.

1327
00:59:48,220 --> 00:59:49,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And, because the system

1328
00:59:49,620 --> 00:59:51,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: doesn't contribute

1329
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:52,540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to a

1330
00:59:52,540 --> 00:59:54,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: performance-based

1331
00:59:56,460 --> 00:59:57,300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: metrics.

1332
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:57,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So,

1333
00:59:58,300 --> 00:59:58,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pag ganun,

1334
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pag hinihila pababa,

1335
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ano na mangyayari sa ating bansa

1336
01:00:02,660 --> 01:00:05,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: since all LGUs are components

1337
01:00:05,020 --> 01:00:06,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of the national government.

1338
01:00:07,180 --> 01:00:09,200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, gusto natin i-reverse

1339
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:10,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung trend

1340
01:00:10,620 --> 01:00:11,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with this

1341
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: measure or bill

1342
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:15,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and

1343
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pag nalampasan na natin itong

1344
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:20,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: crisis, hopefully, yun yung maging

1345
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: norm in the future

1346
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:24,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and we professionalize

1347
01:00:24,900 --> 01:00:26,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: public service.

1348
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:28,400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yun po yung gusto natin.

1349
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Para we attract more

1350
01:00:30,860 --> 01:00:34,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: public servants

1351
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:35,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that are

1352
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: skilled

1353
01:00:38,620 --> 01:00:40,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to perform.

1354
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:42,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Hindi na puro optics, hindi na puro politika,

1355
01:00:43,260 --> 01:00:44,080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hindi na puro drama,

1356
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:46,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: but based on performance

1357
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: talaga. And I think

1358
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: if that happens, makikita natin

1359
01:00:50,380 --> 01:00:52,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: umangat yung unti-unti

1360
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung ating bansa

1361
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:55,980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from the barangays,

1362
01:00:55,980 --> 01:00:57,640
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from the municipalities,

1363
01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:59,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from the cities, congressional

1364
01:00:59,700 --> 01:01:01,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: districts, provinces,

1365
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:03,080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: regions,

1366
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: aggregated sa national.

1367
01:01:06,380 --> 01:01:08,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And on the same boat na.

1368
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:09,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Hindi na, hiwalay yung national,

1369
01:01:09,860 --> 01:01:11,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hiwalay yung local, di ba?

1370
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Ngayon, on the same boat tayong lahat.

1371
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:15,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, we are looking

1372
01:01:15,740 --> 01:01:18,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: forward to see that scenario

1373
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:19,780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para hindi na po tayong

1374
01:01:19,780 --> 01:01:22,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: makahabol tayo

1375
01:01:22,620 --> 01:01:23,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa ating mga

1376
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:25,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ASEAN neighbors.

1377
01:01:25,460 --> 01:01:26,960
John Castillo: Thank you very much,

1378
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:28,440
John Castillo: Senior Vice Chair Abbott.

1379
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:29,840
John Castillo: Additional feedback.

1380
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:31,720
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Can I add lang po, kasi

1381
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,720

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: kaya po nilagay dyan yung pinakamalaking

1809
01:18:57,540 --> 01:18:58,760
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: budget. Dahil alam natin,

1810
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,400
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: ito din lang talaga ang tutulong

1811
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:03,640
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: sa karamihan ng kabataan natin

1812
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,840
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: para masiguro natin na tuloy-tuloy

1813
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:07,440
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: lang ang pag-ayos ng ating

1814
01:19:07,440 --> 01:19:09,680
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: lipunan dito sa ating bansa.

1815
01:19:10,220 --> 01:19:11,560
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: And with that, of course, we

1816
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:13,540
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: partner with the Jesse Robredo Foundation

1817
01:19:13,540 --> 01:19:15,880
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: because as our learners

1818
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:19,520
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: go to the next level, as they

1819
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:21,500
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: achieve higher levels in

1820
01:19:21,500 --> 01:19:23,540
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: education, we'd also like them

1821
01:19:23,540 --> 01:19:24,800
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: to achieve all of this

1822
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:27,420
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: while being very professionally

1823
01:19:27,420 --> 01:19:28,680
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: capable.

1824
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:30,580
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: We'd like to be able to

1825
01:19:30,580 --> 01:19:32,360
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: produce, of course, all these

1826
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:33,840
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: graduates who we know

1827
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:36,300
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: let's not end with just

1828
01:19:36,300 --> 01:19:38,320
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: the educational side of it,

1829
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:40,020
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: but in improving,

1830
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:42,560
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: of course, the education that is given

1831
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:44,440
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: to each member of our

1832
01:19:44,440 --> 01:19:46,420
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: youth sector. So again, we thank you

1833
01:19:46,420 --> 01:19:48,440
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: for all of these, and we hope

1834
01:19:48,440 --> 01:19:50,340
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: that you do not grow tired of

1835
01:19:50,340 --> 01:19:52,340
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: partnering with us to make sure that we

1836
01:19:52,340 --> 01:19:54,640
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: achieve these goals together. Thank you.

1837
01:19:54,860 --> 01:19:56,400
John Castillo: Thank you, Vice Chair Manique.

1838
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:58,680
John Castillo: Yes, additional input from

1839
01:19:58,960 --> 01:19:59,540
John Castillo: SBC.

1840
01:19:59,580 --> 01:20:01,780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Vice Chair Manique. And just to add,

1841
01:20:02,980 --> 01:20:04,940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para lang ma-address din yung

1842
01:20:04,940 --> 01:20:08,940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: general observation na bumaba

1843
01:20:08,940 --> 01:20:10,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung mga budget

1844
01:20:10,740 --> 01:20:12,140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng mga very vital

1845
01:20:12,140 --> 01:20:14,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: departments and services,

1846
01:20:14,900 --> 01:20:16,640
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: education, social

1847
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: services, ang reason

1848
01:20:18,860 --> 01:20:20,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: po na binibigay ng

1849
01:20:20,440 --> 01:20:22,420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: DBM is yung

1850
01:20:22,420 --> 01:20:24,940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: absorptive

1851
01:20:24,940 --> 01:20:26,780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: capacity, which

1852
01:20:26,780 --> 01:20:28,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is a problem dahil sobrang centralized,

1853
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:30,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nagkakaproblema sa absorptive

1854
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:32,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: capacity. That's why, in last

1855
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:34,880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: year's budget, and I think

1856
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:37,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ipagpapatuloy sa

1857
01:20:37,020 --> 01:20:38,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budget ngayon, yung

1858
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:40,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: modalities ng implementation

1859
01:20:40,500 --> 01:20:43,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pinalawak po ng Congress.

1860
01:20:43,460 --> 01:20:45,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, dati yung department

1861
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:46,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: lang, for example, DepEd,

1862
01:20:46,660 --> 01:20:49,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: DepEd lang mag-implement, kunyari, ng mga classrooms

1863
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:50,820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or imumua lang

1864
01:20:50,820 --> 01:20:52,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa DPWH. Ngayon po,

1865
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:54,780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pwedeng DepEd, pwedeng

1866
01:20:54,780 --> 01:20:57,080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: DPWH, pwedeng local government

1867
01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:58,880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: unit, or

1868
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:00,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: public-private

1869
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:02,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: partnership. So,

1870
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:04,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sinimulan natin palawakin

1871
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng sa ganon, yung absorptive capacity

1872
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:08,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ay mas maging

1873
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:11,140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: efficient at mas magawa

1874
01:21:11,140 --> 01:21:12,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: itong mga projects na

1875
01:21:12,660 --> 01:21:14,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kinakailangan on the

1876
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:17,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ground. Alam po

1877
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:19,200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: namin na hindi pa rin efficient yung

1878
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:20,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung ginawang sistema

1879
01:21:20,620 --> 01:21:22,540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and we're still looking at

1880
01:21:22,540 --> 01:21:24,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: on how we can

1881
01:21:24,740 --> 01:21:26,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: improve it better.

1882
01:21:27,100 --> 01:21:27,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, yun po yung

1883
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:31,080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sitwasyon. Kaya kung napansin nyo, may mga

1884
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:33,300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: vital department na bumabang

1885
01:21:33,300 --> 01:21:35,360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung budget. Kasi makikita nyo yung

1886
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:37,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung implementation

1887
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: efficiency or absorptive

1888
01:21:39,180 --> 01:21:40,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: capacity tinamaan. Pero

1889
01:21:40,860 --> 01:21:42,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: tinitignan po yan ng

1890
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:45,140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: inyong House of Representatives and we

1891
01:21:45,140 --> 01:21:47,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: will improve that and rectify

1892
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: some of that. So,

1893
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:49,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: thank you.

1894
01:21:49,460 --> 01:21:51,220
John Castillo: Thank you, SVC Chair. We are

1895
01:21:51,220 --> 01:21:53,220
John Castillo: now nearing the latter portion of

1896
01:21:53,220 --> 01:21:55,280
John Castillo: the first part of our

1897
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:56,700
John Castillo: People's Budget Review.

1898
01:21:57,140 --> 01:21:58,320
John Castillo: We will now proceed.

1899
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:00,800
John Castillo: Let's keep the conversation going

1900
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:02,760
John Castillo: on matters on

1901
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:03,800
John Castillo: transportation.

1902
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:06,980
John Castillo: Transportation. May we call

1903
01:22:06,980 --> 01:22:09,260
John Castillo: our CSO representatives

1904
01:22:09,260 --> 01:22:11,560
John Castillo: from Safe Travel

1905
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:13,500
John Castillo: PH.

1906
01:22:13,500 --> 01:22:15,180
John Castillo: Safe Travel PH Mobility

1907
01:22:15,180 --> 01:22:16,660
John Castillo: Innovation Organization.

1908
01:22:17,500 --> 01:22:19,340
John Castillo: Also followed by Move

1909
01:22:19,340 --> 01:22:21,000
John Castillo: as One Coalition

1910
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,720
John Castillo: and the Foundation for Economic

1911
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:24,260
John Castillo: Freedom.

1912
01:22:25,480 --> 01:22:26,860
John Castillo: Please take the floor. Thank you.

1913
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:28,940
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: Alright. So, good morning.

1914
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:29,580
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: Good morning, everyone.

1915
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:33,100
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: I'm from, yes, I'm Camille Fajardo

1916
01:22:33,100 --> 01:22:34,620
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: from Safe Travel PH.

1917
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,200
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: So, Safe Travel PH

1918
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:39,080
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: is an NGO based in the

1919
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:41,140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: UP National College of Public

1920
01:22:41,140 --> 01:22:42,620
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: Administration and Governance.

1921
01:22:43,140 --> 01:22:45,120
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: We are a multidisciplinary group

1922
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:46,800
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: of academics, researchers,

1923
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:49,100
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: and public transport operators.

1924
01:22:50,260 --> 01:22:50,460
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: So,

1925
01:22:51,260 --> 01:22:53,200
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: just one thing, just one

1926
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:55,060
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: concern that we would like to highlight is

1927
01:22:55,060 --> 01:22:56,620
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: that for the 2027

1928
01:22:56,620 --> 01:22:58,920
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: budget, we would like to raise,

1929
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:01,100
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: is that we should not only look

1930
01:23:01,100 --> 01:23:02,940
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: at how much agencies are

1931
01:23:02,940 --> 01:23:04,960
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: spending, but also

1932
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,020
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: at what public outcomes

1933
01:23:07,020 --> 01:23:08,780
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: that spending is actually

1934
01:23:08,780 --> 01:23:11,060
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: producing. We recognize

1935
01:23:11,060 --> 01:23:12,860
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: that budget utilization

1936
01:23:12,860 --> 01:23:14,940
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: is important, but the

1937
01:23:14,940 --> 01:23:17,140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: low obligation or disbursement

1938
01:23:17,140 --> 01:23:19,220
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: rate does not automatically

1939
01:23:19,220 --> 01:23:20,820
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: mean that the program

1940
01:23:20,820 --> 01:23:22,860
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: is unnecessary or should

1941
01:23:22,860 --> 01:23:24,120
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: receive less funding.

1942
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:26,380
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: It may also reflect

1943
01:23:26,380 --> 01:23:28,740
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: procurement delays, weak

1944
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:30,760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: staffing, delayed fund

1945
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:32,920
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: releases, poor program

1946
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:34,480
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: design, or implementation

1947
01:23:34,480 --> 01:23:36,880
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: bottlenecks. Our own

1948
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:38,320
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: budget work has emphasized

1949
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:40,900
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: that these underlying causes need

1950
01:23:40,900 --> 01:23:42,680
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: to be examined before drawing

1951
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:45,140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: conclusions from utilization figures

1952
01:23:45,140 --> 01:23:45,540
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: alone.

1953
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:49,020
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: And likewise, high accomplishment

1954
01:23:49,020 --> 01:23:50,780
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: rates should not automatically

1955
01:23:50,780 --> 01:23:52,760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: be treated as proof of success.

1956
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:54,880
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: Congress should be able to

1957
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:56,720
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: ask, what is the baseline?

1958
01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:58,720
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: What is the denominator?

1959
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:01,140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: What data were used?

1960
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:02,760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: And most importantly,

1961
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:05,080
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: did people actually experience

1962
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:05,960
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: better services?

1963
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,120
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: For transportation, this means

1964
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: looking beyond the number of vehicles

1965
01:24:11,140 --> 01:24:13,140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: modernized, plans

1966
01:24:13,140 --> 01:24:15,160
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: approved, or subsidies released.

1967
01:24:15,740 --> 01:24:16,940
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: We should be measuring

1968
01:24:16,940 --> 01:24:18,760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: whether commuters are experiencing

1969
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:20,760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: shorter waiting times,

1970
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:22,840
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: more reliable service,

1971
01:24:23,700 --> 01:24:24,820
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: safer access,

1972
01:24:25,580 --> 01:24:26,800
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: better affordability,

1973
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:28,760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: and whether transport

1974
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:30,300
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: workers have sustainable

1975
01:24:30,300 --> 01:24:31,320
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: livelihoods.

1976
01:24:32,140 --> 01:24:34,360
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: So these commuter-centered indicators

1977
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:35,900
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: are still not prominent

1978
01:24:35,900 --> 01:24:38,040
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: in current public transport

1979
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:39,360
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: performance reporting.

1980
01:24:40,020 --> 01:24:41,760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: And this brings me specifically

1981
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,600
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: to the proposed 2027 DOTR

1982
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:46,820
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: budget. We are concerned

1983
01:24:46,820 --> 01:24:48,300
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: that the fuel subsidy

1984
01:24:48,300 --> 01:24:50,140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: and service contracting programs

1985
01:24:50,140 --> 01:24:51,880
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: have zero proposed allocation,

1986
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:53,980
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: while the public transport

1987
01:24:53,980 --> 01:24:56,160
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: modernization program is only around

1988
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:58,440
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: 176.8 million

1989
01:24:58,440 --> 01:24:59,240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: nationwide.

1990
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,800
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: If these reductions are being justified

1991
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:04,240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: by underutilization,

1992
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:06,240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: then Congress should ask,

1993
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: how exactly was this

1994
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:10,240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: underutilization evaluated?

1995
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: What caused it?

1996
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:14,240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: And why is the response to reduce

1997
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:16,240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: funding instead of fixing

1998
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:18,240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: the implementation bottlenecks?

1999
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:20,240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: And for us, the central question

2000
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:22,240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: is simple. So does

2001
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: the 2027 budget actually match

2002
01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:26,240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: the scale of the mobility problems

2003
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:30,340
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: experienced every day by commuters and transport workers?

2004
01:25:31,220 --> 01:25:32,400
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: So, yun lamang po.

2005
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:32,720
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: Maraming salamat.

2006
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,120

2007

2052
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:05,160

2055
01:27:08,780 --> 01:27:11,020

2058
01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:17,180
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: for next year. But thankfully po,

01:27:17,260 --> 01:27:18,900
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: may support na from Congress

2060
01:27:18,900 --> 01:27:21,020

2063
01:27:24,980 --> 01:27:27,040

2064
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:28,880
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: something po that the Congress has never

2065
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:30,540
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: funded. The implementation

2066
01:27:30,540 --> 01:27:32,820
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: of the 2023 to

2067

01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:38,940
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: po remain the top cause of

2070
01:27:38,940 --> 01:27:40,840
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: death for Filipinos age

2071
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:42,660
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: 15 to 29 years old.

2072
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:44,940
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: So pasok pa po ako sa age group na yun. Kayo rin

2073
01:27:44,940 --> 01:27:46,740
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: po, pasok pa po sa age group na yun.

2074
01:27:48,460 --> 01:27:48,980
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: The

2075
01:27:48,980 --> 01:27:51,020
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: DOTR proposes to fund this

2076
01:27:51,020 --> 01:27:53,240
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: every year. Hindi po malaki ang hinihingi

2077
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:54,860
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: nila, just a hundred million pesos.

2078
01:27:55,420 --> 01:27:56,920
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: Two years na lang po yung natitira sa

2079
01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:58,960
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: plano, but we've never funded

2080
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:01,040
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: this. So hopefully po,

2081
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,020
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: 2027 is

2082
01:28:03,020 --> 01:28:04,500
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: the year. And

2083
01:28:04,500 --> 01:28:07,180
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: I'll end po doon for the transport sector

2084
01:28:07,180 --> 01:28:08,120
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: just to

2085
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:11,140
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: move beyond po yung transport

2086

2088
01:28:14,860 --> 01:28:16,980
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: We also ask the Congress to act

2089
01:28:16,980 --> 01:28:18,340
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: on reform measures

2090
01:28:18,340 --> 01:28:20,820
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: already before the House,

2092
01:28:23,620 --> 01:28:24,960
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: This was approved by the

2093
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:26,480
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: Senate in December 2025.

2094
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:28,480
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: It has now been pending in the House.

2095
01:28:28,860 --> 01:28:30,700
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: This Act would provide the transparency

2096
01:28:30,700 --> 01:28:33,300
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: infrastructure needed to digitize

2097
01:28:33,300 --> 01:28:35,000
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: and publicly verify House

2098
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:37,120
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: budget amendments, allowing citizens

2099
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,120
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: to track whether budget commitments

2100
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,020
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: are actually reflected in final

2101
01:28:41,020 --> 01:28:43,340

01:29:08,620 --> 01:29:10,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: ang ano pong

2116
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:12,540
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: budget line items ang binago po ng

2117
01:29:12,540 --> 01:29:14,480
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: Kongreso dahil sa participation

2118
01:29:14,480 --> 01:29:16,260
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: ng CSOs. I think that would help

2119
01:29:16,260 --> 01:29:18,540
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: Congress, that would help the task force

2120
01:29:18,540 --> 01:29:20,680
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: and the civil society po if we're able

2121
01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:22,420
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: to push this pong Cadena Act.

2122
01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:23,980
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: Yun lamang po, maraming salamat.

01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,600
John Castillo: much for that lively presentation

2125
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:30,620
John Castillo: of your concern, Ms. Ysabel from the

2126
01:29:30,620 --> 01:29:31,900
John Castillo: Move As One Coalition.

2127
01:29:32,500 --> 01:29:34,660
John Castillo: At this juncture, may we call on

2128
01:29:34,660 --> 01:29:36,620
John Castillo: the representative from the

2129
01:29:36,620 --> 01:29:39,000
John Castillo: Foundation for Economic

2130
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:40,860
John Castillo: Freedom, FEF,

2131
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:42,700
John Castillo: to share their

2132
01:29:42,700 --> 01:29:44,140
John Castillo: concerns, if any?

2133
01:29:46,180 --> 01:29:46,620
John Castillo: Ah, so

2134
01:29:46,620 --> 01:29:48,580
John Castillo: Mr. Rene, Engineer Rene is not

2135
01:29:48,580 --> 01:29:49,740
John Castillo: around. Okay.

2136
01:29:50,480 --> 01:29:51,500
John Castillo: At this point,

2137
01:29:51,860 --> 01:29:54,620
John Castillo: we will now hear the feedbacks

2138
01:29:55,180 --> 01:29:56,480
John Castillo: from our panel

2139
01:29:56,520 --> 01:29:57,860
John Castillo: lists, particularly

2140
01:29:57,860 --> 01:29:59,980
John Castillo: Vice Chair of

2141
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,040
John Castillo: Honorable Representative Reynante Arrogancia.

2142
01:30:04,300 --> 01:30:05,260
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Good morning, everyone.

2143
01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:07,340
John Castillo: Good morning, Mr. Vice Chairman.

2144
01:30:08,020 --> 01:30:16,000
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: First, I would like to address the question of safe travel followed by the previous one.

2145
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:24,780
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: I do understand yung concern ng mga commuters, especially yung sumasakay sa EDSA,

2146
01:30:24,780 --> 01:30:34,020
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: sumasakay sa carousel, and then yung mga nagbibisikleta, naglalakad sa kalsada natin, sa ating sidewalk.

2147
01:30:34,020 --> 01:30:44,640
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: So, the question of how do we do the proper budget in Congress.

2148
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:51,140
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Yung question about bakit nabawasan, bakit hindi natin nabigyan ng tamang budget.

2149
01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:54,640
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Alam n'yo sa atin, sa appropriation,

2150
01:30:54,780 --> 01:31:02,780
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: talagang lahat ito inaaral namin. Na kung ang isang department o isang agency

2151
01:31:02,780 --> 01:31:14,140
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: nabigyan natin last year, sabihin natin, isang libong piso, pero hindi nagamit ang pitong daang piso.

2152
01:31:14,480 --> 01:31:14,900
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Example lang ito.

2153
01:31:16,540 --> 01:31:21,980
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: So, medyo may problem tayo kung bibigyan natin ng panibagong mas malaki.

2154
01:31:22,820 --> 01:31:24,740
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Dahil instead na yung pondo

2155
01:31:24,780 --> 01:31:33,540
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: na ilagay ulit, na hindi siya magagamit, ay mailagay natin doon sa iba pang mas nangangailangan

2156
01:31:33,540 --> 01:31:34,660
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: sa ating bansa.

2157
01:31:37,020 --> 01:31:41,380
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Mas mabilis yung magiging development ng bansa natin.

2158
01:31:41,700 --> 01:31:42,320
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Pero tama kayo.

2159
01:31:43,300 --> 01:31:44,820
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Kailangan natin gawin dito,

2160
01:31:44,860 --> 01:31:50,920
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: aralin natin, bakit ba hindi ito na-utilize?

2161
01:31:51,900 --> 01:31:53,500
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Bakit ba hindi natin na-aral?

2162
01:31:54,100 --> 01:31:55,700
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Saan nagkulang?

2163
01:31:56,600 --> 01:31:58,320
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Sa procurement ba? Saan nagkulang?

2164
01:31:59,140 --> 01:32:06,260
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: And then yung mga kailangan nating mga expansion ng ating mga sidewalk, sa ating mga bike lanes, ba't hindi ba napapatupad?

2165
01:32:06,260 --> 01:32:15,940
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: So lahat ng concern ninyo ay aming inaaral sa ginagawa namin budget ng 2027 na budget.

2166
01:32:15,940 --> 01:32:24,200
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: At napapasalamat kami sa inyo na ito ay ginagawa ninyong advocacy na kami sa appropriation.

2167
01:32:24,860 --> 01:32:32,180
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Nakakaroon kami ng guide mula sa inyo na maaaring makatulong sa amin doon sa paggawa namin ng tamang budget sa 2027.

2168
01:32:32,500 --> 01:32:41,400
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Rest assured, lahat ng inyong sinasabi sa amin ay aming itong siseryosohin para may pagpapasa namin ng budget natin ngayong 2027.

2169
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:45,680
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Ay kaugnay namin kayo, may participation kayo.

2170
01:32:45,680 --> 01:33:00,940
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: At sa ginagawa namin ito, natitiyakin namin, siyempre sa utos ng ating Pangulo, na yung pagiging sensitive namin sa ginagawa namin budget ng ating bansa ay nararapat na ayon at kailangan ng ating mga kababayan.

2171
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:11,420
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Hindi lamang ito dahil sa figure, kung hindi ito ay dapat malaman namin yung totoong hinayin ng ating bansa at yun yung dapat namin gawin sa appropriation namin dito sa Kongreso.

2172
01:33:11,720 --> 01:33:15,140
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: So muli po, maraming maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat.

2173
01:33:15,140 --> 01:33:22,340
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: At ito pong lahat ng ito ay amin pong dadalhin sa committee para po aming upuan at nalagyan po namin ng tamang sagot ang inyong katanungan.

2174
01:33:22,980 --> 01:33:23,560
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Salamat po ulit.

2175
01:33:24,260 --> 01:33:26,420
John Castillo: Thank you very much, Vice Chair Reynan.

2176
01:33:27,580 --> 01:33:30,980
John Castillo: Any other feedbacks from our panelists, SVC?

2177
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:38,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, maraming salamat, Vice Chair Reynan, for your answers to address some of the concerns.

2178
01:33:38,740 --> 01:33:43,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I would like to commend Miss Fajardo.

2179
01:33:45,140 --> 01:34:09,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Isabel, for your comments and suggestions talagang with this engagement and all the other NGOs ang dami namin natututunan that these informations we can really use to amend or modify some of the budget of the departments to address the concerns.

2180
01:34:09,860 --> 01:34:14,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So perspective matters and you're giving us new perspective.

2181
01:34:15,140 --> 01:34:19,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: That we can use in order to improve our budgets further.

2182
01:34:19,900 --> 01:34:26,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kanina habang nakikinig kay Miss Fajardo, parang dinidescribe nyo na po yung meritocracy.

2183
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:45,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kasi from spending or process-based budgeting, kung saan ginegrade ngayon for efficiency of spending or not spending, yung meritocracy, same as what you said, kailangan outcome-based din.

2184
01:34:45,140 --> 01:34:49,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So dahil mas makikita natin yung impact.

2185
01:34:49,620 --> 01:35:02,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So unlike now na talagang is everything above board, sumunod ba sa process, but aside from that, did it make an impact dun sa buhay ng ating mga mamamayan?

2186
01:35:02,540 --> 01:35:11,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And that is the essence of the meritocracy bill na hindi lang process-based but also outcome-based.

2187
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:12,140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So.

2188
01:35:13,260 --> 01:35:14,420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So.

2189
01:35:15,140 --> 01:35:18,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: You hit the nail right on the head.

2190
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:24,160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And since mobility yung pinag-uusapan natin, ito yung isang advocacy po ng inyong lingkod.

2191
01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:27,300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And hardly anyone is talking about it.

2192
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:44,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Is that, do we know that we're losing 3.5 billion pesos a day because of the inefficiencies ng ating infrastructure, ng ating ekonomiya?

2193
01:35:44,020 --> 01:35:45,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Tanghali na po.

2194
01:35:45,140 --> 01:35:52,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Ngayon, mamaya hapo na, and we lost 3.5 billion pesos a day, another 3.5 billion pesos.

2195
01:35:53,360 --> 01:36:06,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And if you compute that in one year, yan na po yung capital outlay ng ating current budget, amounting to 1.2, 1.3 trillion pesos.

2196
01:36:06,380 --> 01:36:14,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So yan na halos yung pinagdibatihan ngayon sa House and eventually with the Senate, sa BICAM.

2197
01:36:15,140 --> 01:36:34,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Na 1.2 to 1.3 trillion na katulad nung sinabi, ito na lang yung leeway natin dahil yung iba, naka-earmark na po or pang sweldo na or MOE na hindi na natin masyadong pwedeng mamodify.

2198
01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:34,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

2199
01:36:35,440 --> 01:36:35,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So.

2200
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:39,540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Na ano lang po siya.

2201
01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:40,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kumbaga.

2202
01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:44,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Na offset lang po siya nitong losses.

2203
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:46,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 3.5 billion pesos a day.

2204
01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:54,280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And kinumpute ko po ito from when the study started, JICA study po ito.

2205
01:36:54,780 --> 01:36:58,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Simula 2014, 2.5 billion pesos a day pa lang.

2206
01:36:58,860 --> 01:37:01,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: In update ng 2017, 3.5 na.

2207
01:37:02,480 --> 01:37:12,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And according to the same study, kung hindi ma-solusyonan, by 2030, aakyat ng 5.4 billion pesos a day.

2208
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:14,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, anlaki po nun.

2209
01:37:14,620 --> 01:37:24,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And to date, kinumpute ko po, kung accurate yung study, we've lost 13.7 trillion pesos already.

2210
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:27,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Twice the current budget.

2211
01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:43,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, ito po, kung nagtataka po yung ating mga kasama, ito po because of the inefficiencies ng congestion, time wasted, pollution, work-life balance compromised, productivity loss, opportunity loss, and so on and so forth.

2212
01:37:43,800 --> 01:38:03,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, napakalaking problema po nito, ito yung sinasabi ko na hinahabol natin yung mga allegedly corrupt, yun yung sins of commission, pero hindi natin napapansin yung sins of omission.

2213
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:13,260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Which is, in this case, a lot bigger than any man-made or natural disaster that hit us.

2214
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:13,780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, it's a big problem.

2215
01:38:13,780 --> 01:38:18,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, dun po ang isang magiging relevance nung meritocracy bill.

2216
01:38:18,700 --> 01:38:22,540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: It will address that and incentivize good performance

2217
01:38:22,540 --> 01:38:26,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para proactively mabawasan yung sense of commission

2218
01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:31,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at proactively ma-incentivize yung performance.

2219
01:38:32,440 --> 01:38:36,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, I just wanted to bring that up

2220
01:38:36,100 --> 01:38:38,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and rest assured lahat po nung binanggit ninyo,

2221
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:39,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: naka-record po yan,

2222
01:38:40,200 --> 01:38:42,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at nandito po yung ating vice chair

2223
01:38:42,660 --> 01:38:47,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at malalaman nyo rin po kung ano yung mga changes

2224
01:38:47,340 --> 01:38:50,780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that we will recommend to address all those concerns.

2225
01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:51,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Salamat po.

2226
01:38:51,880 --> 01:38:54,720
John Castillo: Thank you very much, Senior Vice Chair Abbott-Garcia.

2227
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:58,920
John Castillo: And to all our Vice Chair of the House Committee on Appropriations

2228
01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:02,840
John Castillo: for engaging with the concerns of our CSO partners

2229
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:08,980
John Castillo: and answering their proposals raised by our civil society partners.

2230
01:39:09,140 --> 01:39:11,680
John Castillo: Later on, we will discuss more about strengthening

2231
01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:14,360
John Castillo: the participatory budget mechanisms,

2232
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:16,400
John Castillo: including the Philippine Budgeting Code.

2233
01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:20,600
John Castillo: But for now, I think, as you all see,

2234
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:25,360
John Castillo: this exchange have been an important spirit of today's activity.

2235
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:27,660
John Castillo: Like, we listen from one another.

2236
01:39:28,180 --> 01:39:30,820
John Castillo: We may come from different institutions and sectors,

2237
01:39:31,280 --> 01:39:35,900
John Castillo: but meaningful budget-making requires that we listen to one another.

2238
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:40,360
John Castillo: So now, we move to the next major segment of our program.

2239
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:41,560
John Castillo: I think the launch is being...

2240
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:48,760
John Castillo: And it's already 12.13, and we're still on time for our part two of the program

2241
01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:54,900
John Castillo: about CSO proposals on strengthening people's participation on the national budget.

2242
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:57,360
John Castillo: So how are we going about it?

2243
01:39:57,820 --> 01:40:04,960
John Castillo: Again, if our CSO partners have their proposals, concerns, and recommendation

2244
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:09,200
John Castillo: on how to strengthen people's participation in the budget process,

2245
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:11,320
John Castillo: you may take the floor.

2246
01:40:11,680 --> 01:40:13,680
John Castillo: If you have any questions, please raise your concerns.

2247
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:15,680
John Castillo: We will limit it again to two to three minutes.

2248
01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:17,680
John Castillo: You can raise your hands or signify.

2249
01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:23,680
John Castillo: I think I saw already Sir Tim to raise his concern.

2250
01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:25,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Yes po, salamat.

2251
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:27,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: I need to leave na rin.

2252
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:29,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: [unclear] ako na alis ako ng 12.

2253
01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:34,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: But I wanted to ask for some clarifications on what transpired.

2254
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:40,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Kasi nagkaroon po kami ng meeting with the CPBRD nung nagkaroon ng consultation

2255
01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:41,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: with the CSOs.

2256
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:47,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Tapos, we waited about one and a half months to be provided new information.

2257
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:54,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So, within that process, we already sent questions to the DBM during the DBCC briefing,

2258
01:40:54,680 --> 01:40:56,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: as well as sa DPWH.

2259
01:40:56,680 --> 01:40:59,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Tapos, we only heard their questions being read during the DILG.

2260
01:40:59,680 --> 01:41:07,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Nagpapasalamat po kami kay Chair Mika Suansing that she actually asked the questions that we issued from the CODE-NGO.

2261
01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:10,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So, I just want an explanation kung bakit ganyan yung nangyari,

2262
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:16,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: na leave out particularly these two very important agencies that we submitted for,

2263
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:18,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: yung DBM at DPWH.

2264
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:23,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: As well, the week after, kasi di ba Thursday yung DILG,

2265
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:27,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: nung OP naman, I understand nagbigay ng parliamentary courtesy.

2266
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:30,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So, hindi nabasa yung OP questions.

2267
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:34,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Baka pwede. I thought it would have been easy to just ask it.

2268
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:35,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: I mean, anyway.

2269
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:39,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: But also, the Department of Agriculture questions that the farmers also sent,

2270
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:41,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: weren't also asked.

2271
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:44,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Hindi ko alam what is the reason for the inconsistencies?

2272
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:47,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: And what can we do moving forward?

2273
01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:53,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Ano ba yung, hindi ko na kasi maintindihan kung bakit hindi pwedeng maging resource persons yung CSOs.

2274
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:56,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Nagre-research din naman kami.

2275
01:41:56,680 --> 01:42:00,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So baka pwede ninyo i-forward kasi [unclear] nakakaligtaan.

2276
01:42:00,680 --> 01:42:02,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Baka kasi ang haba na ng hearing.

2277
01:42:02,680 --> 01:42:04,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: I understand seven hours na yung DA.

2278
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:08,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So baka kung pwede naman kami magsalita naman, pwede naman sana.

2279
01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:09,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So at least yun lang po muna.

2280
01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:10,680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Salamat.

2281
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:22,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Well, actually that was my agency nung first na sumagot po.

2282
01:42:22,420 --> 01:42:26,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But yung sagot po ni Chair Mika Suansing,

2283
01:42:26,420 --> 01:42:31,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: actually it was the first time na nabigay po sa amin yung questions n'yo.

2284
01:42:31,420 --> 01:42:36,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So actually, CPBRD, I think you have to answer it

2285
01:42:36,420 --> 01:42:39,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kasi hindi rin po namin alam kung anong nangyari

2286
01:42:39,420 --> 01:42:42,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kasi dapat po pinasa po sa amin

2287
01:42:42,420 --> 01:42:44,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: with every agency.

2288
01:42:44,420 --> 01:42:47,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So nung nakita po namin yun,

2289
01:42:47,420 --> 01:42:50,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nalaman po namin

2290
01:42:50,420 --> 01:42:54,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kaya po nag-explain kaagad si Chair Mika Suansing na

2291
01:42:54,420 --> 01:42:59,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nagulat din po ako na first time na nabasa yung inyong katanungan.

2292
01:42:59,420 --> 01:43:01,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So we apologize for that.

2293
01:43:01,420 --> 01:43:04,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But on the part of the Appro Committee,

2294
01:43:04,420 --> 01:43:09,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: wala po kaming natanggap na mga tanong galing po sa inyo.

2295
01:43:09,420 --> 01:43:11,420
John Castillo: Okay, thank you, Kong Arne, for that input.

2296
01:43:11,420 --> 01:43:17,420
John Castillo: May we call on the members of anyone available from the task force

2297
01:43:17,420 --> 01:43:19,420
John Castillo: on people's participation?

2298
01:43:19,420 --> 01:43:24,420
John Castillo: Because as I made aware, one of the things that needs to happen first

2299
01:43:24,420 --> 01:43:28,420
John Castillo: is to the guidelines and the task force.

2300
01:43:28,420 --> 01:43:30,420
John Castillo: But I'm really not sure.

2301
01:43:30,420 --> 01:43:37,420
John Castillo: So if we can hear from anyone from the task force on this matter or issue.

2302
01:43:37,420 --> 01:43:44,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: The question is...

2303
01:43:44,090 --> 01:43:45,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: For us, kasi it's...

2304
01:43:46,090 --> 01:43:47,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: It's...

2305
01:43:47,090 --> 01:43:48,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: It's...

2306
01:43:48,090 --> 01:43:49,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Hindi na kailangang tanungin 'yun eh.

2307
01:43:49,090 --> 01:43:51,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I mean, if you have questions, we read it.

2308
01:43:51,090 --> 01:43:54,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So let the Secretary answer it.

2309
01:43:54,090 --> 01:43:58,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But I'll answer lang as the resource person.

2310
01:43:58,090 --> 01:43:59,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I think we have to study it.

2311
01:43:59,090 --> 01:44:02,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kasi sa rules po namin talaga,

2312
01:44:02,090 --> 01:44:06,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: usually, ginigrill po namin,

2313
01:44:06,090 --> 01:44:10,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: tinatanong namin is yung mga nasa agency, nagtatrabaho po sa gobyerno.

2314
01:44:10,090 --> 01:44:14,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But nevertheless, yung ginagawa po natin ngayon na nagtatanong po kayo

2315
01:44:14,090 --> 01:44:17,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: at sinasagot naman po nila,

2316
01:44:17,090 --> 01:44:19,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: binabasa po namin,

2317
01:44:19,090 --> 01:44:21,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: is nakakapag-participate po kayo.

2318
01:44:21,090 --> 01:44:24,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I don't think lang nasa rules po ng Congress

2319
01:44:24,090 --> 01:44:27,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: na puwede po kayo maging resource person

2320
01:44:27,090 --> 01:44:33,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: dahil ang resource person po talaga during the budget season,

2321
01:44:33,090 --> 01:44:37,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung po talaga ang agency na nagde-defend ng budget po nila.

2322
01:44:37,090 --> 01:44:40,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And even agency na humihingi,

2323
01:44:40,090 --> 01:44:42,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we call it, hirit,

2324
01:44:42,090 --> 01:44:46,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: na baka po hindi po napag-aralan talaga ng DBM

2325
01:44:46,090 --> 01:44:51,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa dami po ng fiscal space is masyadong masikip.

2326
01:44:51,090 --> 01:44:55,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So ganoon po yung mga nangyayari.

2327
01:44:55,090 --> 01:44:58,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, but any questions naman po na galing sa inyo,

2328
01:44:58,090 --> 01:45:00,090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we are very much willing to read it.

2329
01:45:00,140 --> 01:45:02,060
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: and let them answer

2330
01:45:02,060 --> 01:45:02,980
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: para maging

2331
01:45:02,980 --> 01:45:05,960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: maklaro po sa atin yung mga issues

2332
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:08,020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng bawat agency sa ating

2333
01:45:08,020 --> 01:45:09,180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pong gobyerno.

2334
01:45:15,810 --> 01:45:18,930
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Number one, kaya nga sasabi ko

2335
01:45:18,930 --> 01:45:20,830
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: dapat ang sumagot

2336
01:45:20,830 --> 01:45:21,270
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ang

2337
01:45:21,270 --> 01:45:23,970
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: CPBRD

2338
01:45:23,970 --> 01:45:26,710
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: but hindi po nakarating po sa amin.

2339
01:45:27,730 --> 01:45:29,030
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Yes, kindly answer it.

2340
01:45:29,030 --> 01:45:32,870
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Okay, sir. We will wait for

2341
01:45:32,870 --> 01:45:34,130
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: their response.

2342
01:45:36,930 --> 01:45:38,450
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Miscommunication,

2343
01:45:39,010 --> 01:45:40,170
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: misunderstand, ano ba yan?

2344
01:45:40,350 --> 01:45:41,190
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Hindi ko maintindihan eh.

2345
01:45:41,530 --> 01:45:44,270
John Castillo: As we had the process earlier,

2346
01:45:44,430 --> 01:45:46,050
John Castillo: we will hear all our concerns

2347
01:45:46,050 --> 01:45:48,050
John Castillo: and then we will

2348
01:45:48,050 --> 01:45:50,390
John Castillo: consolidate it and answer it as a panel

2349
01:45:50,390 --> 01:45:52,250
John Castillo: and as we prepare

2350
01:45:52,250 --> 01:45:54,210
John Castillo: for this one,

2351
01:45:54,290 --> 01:45:56,150
John Castillo: for the concern of

2352
01:45:56,150 --> 01:45:58,430
John Castillo: Mr. Thiem, we have a message

2353
01:45:58,430 --> 01:45:59,150
John Castillo: from

2354
01:45:59,150 --> 01:46:01,810
John Castillo: BTAG that they want to

2355
01:46:01,810 --> 01:46:04,150
John Castillo: raise their concerns.

2356
01:46:04,650 --> 01:46:06,210
John Castillo: Yes, ma'am. Please proceed.

2357
01:46:06,930 --> 01:46:08,630
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Thank you so much.

2358
01:46:09,110 --> 01:46:10,430
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Ako po yung vice, sorry,

2359
01:46:10,830 --> 01:46:12,630
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: if you don't mind, ako po yung

2360
01:46:12,630 --> 01:46:14,230
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: vice chair ng AGRI

2361
01:46:14,230 --> 01:46:16,610
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: but I wasn't able to attend

2362
01:46:16,610 --> 01:46:18,810
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the hearing because I was

2363
01:46:18,810 --> 01:46:20,610
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: part of the 3.5 billion

2364
01:46:20,610 --> 01:46:22,070
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: loss because

2365
01:46:22,070 --> 01:46:24,210
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: na-stuck po lahat kami sa NLEX ng

2366
01:46:24,210 --> 01:46:26,450
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: sampung oras. So I'm sure na

2367
01:46:26,450 --> 01:46:28,750
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: doble yun because everybody was stuck there

2368
01:46:28,750 --> 01:46:30,990
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: and the amount of time, productivity

2369
01:46:30,990 --> 01:46:33,110
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: at lahat na

2370
01:46:33,110 --> 01:46:34,130
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: sa manan doob

2371
01:46:34,130 --> 01:46:36,630
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: which nobody can put a price on.

2372
01:46:36,930 --> 01:46:39,290
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Hindi na may sure po doon.

2373
01:46:39,570 --> 01:46:41,470
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So I'm sure that was not 3.5

2374
01:46:41,470 --> 01:46:43,010
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: B on those four days.

2375
01:46:43,790 --> 01:46:44,830
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So sa amin naman po,

2376
01:46:45,310 --> 01:46:47,270
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I didn't, I wasn't, we were not

2377
01:46:47,270 --> 01:46:49,270
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: made aware also, at least I didn't hear it from

2378
01:46:49,270 --> 01:46:51,590
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the other vice chair, si Kong Teves

2379
01:46:51,590 --> 01:46:52,810
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: na meron pong tanong.

2380
01:46:53,130 --> 01:46:54,450
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: But again, if you will

2381
01:46:54,450 --> 01:46:59,590
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: if you would like to resubmit it sa amin,

2382
01:46:59,750 --> 01:47:01,490
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: we would be glad to give it

2383
01:47:01,490 --> 01:47:02,790
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: to the secretary

2384
01:47:02,790 --> 01:47:05,390
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: and you may receive a reason and answer

2385
01:47:05,390 --> 01:47:05,990
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: naman po.

2386
01:47:06,930 --> 01:47:08,450
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Because we still have a number of

2387
01:47:08,450 --> 01:47:10,010
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: briefings before the plenary.

2388
01:47:10,670 --> 01:47:12,550
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So we are, yeah, and even

2389
01:47:12,550 --> 01:47:14,110
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: during the plenary, we are

2390
01:47:14,110 --> 01:47:16,630
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: welcome naman po to answer your questions.

2391
01:47:17,030 --> 01:47:18,290
John Castillo: Thank you, Vice Chair Anne.

2392
01:47:18,830 --> 01:47:20,550
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So instead of

2393
01:47:20,550 --> 01:47:22,490
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: alamin natin kung ano nangyari,

2394
01:47:23,070 --> 01:47:24,130
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung hindi po natanong,

2395
01:47:24,390 --> 01:47:26,690
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pwede natin itanong po sa plenary.

2396
01:47:26,870 --> 01:47:28,250
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Ibibigay pa rin po namin sa inyo.

2397
01:47:28,350 --> 01:47:29,530
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: That is our commitment.

2398
01:47:30,330 --> 01:47:32,170
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So yung hindi na itanong

2399
01:47:32,170 --> 01:47:34,430
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: during the agency, wala naman pong problema yun.

2400
01:47:35,410 --> 01:47:36,670
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Very transparent

2401
01:47:36,930 --> 01:47:38,950
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: po tayo. It was an honest mistake.

2402
01:47:39,430 --> 01:47:40,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So ayoko nang maghanap magturo

2403
01:47:40,910 --> 01:47:42,950
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ang pakunsino. But definitely

2404
01:47:42,950 --> 01:47:44,530
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ang gusto natin yung resulta.

2405
01:47:45,050 --> 01:47:46,870
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kung gusto nyong maklarify yun,

2406
01:47:47,330 --> 01:47:48,610
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung mga tanong na hindi po

2407
01:47:48,610 --> 01:47:50,950
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: natanong during the committee,

2408
01:47:51,530 --> 01:47:52,850

2430
01:48:34,770 --> 01:48:36,290

2431
01:48:36,330 --> 01:48:37,890
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: has been actively pushing

2432
01:48:37,890 --> 01:48:39,170
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: for the bottom-up budgeting,

2433
01:48:39,170 --> 01:48:40,450
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: or the BUB.

2434
01:48:40,450 --> 01:48:42,450
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: It's actually the policy

2435
01:48:42,450 --> 01:48:44,170
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: or the program initiated

2436
01:48:44,170 --> 01:48:46,650
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: by the Pinoy administration.

2437
01:48:46,650 --> 01:48:48,290
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: It's a grassroot level

2438
01:48:48,290 --> 01:48:50,130
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: of a budgeting process.

2439
01:48:50,130 --> 01:48:51,410
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: Inaalam sa ibaba

2440
01:48:51,410 --> 01:48:52,770
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: kung ano po yung mga kailangan

2441
01:48:52,770 --> 01:48:54,530
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: ng mga proyekto or programa,

2442
01:48:54,530 --> 01:48:56,250
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: aktividad sa ibaba.

2443
01:48:56,250 --> 01:48:58,610
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: At inaakyat po sa LDC,

2444
01:48:58,610 --> 01:49:00,370
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: going to the RDC,

2445
01:49:00,370 --> 01:49:02,730
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: and to the national government.

2446
01:49:02,730 --> 01:49:04,970
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: Now, ang concern na po namin,

2447
01:49:06,330 --> 01:49:08,810
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: is how I wish,

2448
01:49:08,930 --> 01:49:10,430
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: or we encourage the lawmakers

2449
01:49:10,430 --> 01:49:13,450
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: to adopt this kind of budget process

2450
01:49:13,450 --> 01:49:15,450
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: para involve po yung mga tao

2451
01:49:15,450 --> 01:49:15,970
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: sa ibaba.

2452
01:49:16,450 --> 01:49:17,370
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: In so doing,

2453
01:49:18,290 --> 01:49:20,050
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: may iwasan po natin

2454
01:49:20,050 --> 01:49:22,090
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: yung mga nangyari in the past,

2455
01:49:22,490 --> 01:49:23,650
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: the ghost projects,

2456
01:49:23,750 --> 01:49:25,090
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: the unfinished projects,

2457
01:49:25,410 --> 01:49:28,290
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: or yung hindi na isasama po

2458
01:49:28,290 --> 01:49:30,190
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: yung mga request ng mga tao mismo

2459
01:49:30,190 --> 01:49:31,050
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: na nasa ibaba.

2460
01:49:31,530 --> 01:49:33,770
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: What we are actually,

2461
01:49:33,770 --> 01:49:35,470
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: actively pushing po is,

2462
01:49:36,330 --> 01:49:38,210
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: the implementation of that,

2463
01:49:38,210 --> 01:49:40,970
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: or the adoption of the lawmakers

2464
01:49:40,970 --> 01:49:42,130
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: in the budget process

2465
01:49:42,130 --> 01:49:43,810
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: of the bottom-up budgeting.

2466
01:49:43,810 --> 01:49:47,330
John Castillo: Thank you, Ma'am April.

2467
01:49:47,330 --> 01:49:50,450
John Castillo: Any other concerns from our CSO partners

2468
01:49:50,450 --> 01:49:56,450
John Castillo: with respect to the people's participation mechanism?

2469
01:49:56,450 --> 01:49:58,650
John Castillo: How can we strengthen this?

2470
01:49:58,650 --> 01:50:01,090
John Castillo: Yes, sir, AJ Montesa

2471
01:50:01,090 --> 01:50:06,080
John Castillo: from People's Budget Coalition.

2472
01:50:06,080 --> 01:50:07,800
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Yes. Good morning.

2473
01:50:07,800 --> 01:50:08,400
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Good morning again, po.

2474
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:10,000
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So, I'd like to, again,

2475
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:11,680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: thank you, po, for acknowledging.

2476
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:12,920
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: I think it's worth acknowledging

2477
01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:14,960
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that you admitted the mistake

2478
01:50:14,960 --> 01:50:16,280
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: or the miscommunication that happened.

2479
01:50:16,280 --> 01:50:18,320
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So, we're grateful that moving forward,

2480
01:50:18,320 --> 01:50:21,800
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the questions will be included in the deliberations.

2481
01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:24,120
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: I think trying to go back and analyze

2482
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:26,320
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: where the root of the problem was,

2483
01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:28,320
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: there was a House resolution last year

2484
01:50:28,320 --> 01:50:29,880
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that really defined the structure,

2485
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:31,640
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the rules, the procedure.

2486
01:50:31,640 --> 01:50:32,920
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So, perhaps that's something

2487
01:50:32,920 --> 01:50:35,000
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that the House leadership can consider.

2488
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:35,800
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Baka pwede po,

2489
01:50:35,800 --> 01:50:37,600
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: because that House resolution covered

2490
01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:40,200
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the 2026 budget cycle.

2491
01:50:40,200 --> 01:50:41,200
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So, maybe this time

2492
01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:43,600
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: it's worth passing another House resolution

2493
01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:44,800
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: to cover this budget cycle

2494
01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:45,760
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: or even the next one

2495
01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:48,080
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: to make it more institutionalized.

2496
01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:49,120
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: And I understand, I think,

2497
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:50,360
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that there's legislation now

2498
01:50:50,360 --> 01:50:52,320
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: for the Philippine Budgeting Code.

2499
01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:54,920
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So, we hope that the more structured

2500
01:50:54,920 --> 01:50:56,920
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: or more formal rules can really be considered

2501
01:50:56,920 --> 01:50:59,960
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: because, of course, even after this year,

2502
01:50:59,960 --> 01:51:01,560
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: we hope na magpapatuloy po siya

2503
01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:03,080
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: in a more structured way

2504
01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:04,840
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: para clear po yung, for us,

2505
01:51:04,840 --> 01:51:06,440
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: what we can expect and everything.

2506
01:51:06,440 --> 01:51:07,440
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So, we will support all of these rules,

2507
01:51:07,440 --> 01:51:11,880
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: these legislation po. I think yung PBC, we were very active in trying to join the

2508
01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:15,420
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: committee hearings, we're pushing for the Cadena bill which would strengthen that.

2509
01:51:15,420 --> 01:51:21,060
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Yung FOI, bicam na lang po yung kulang so sana din maipasa po yun. I think we have

2510
01:51:21,060 --> 01:51:26,000
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: some very practical recommendations. Last year when we did this po, we did

2511
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:30,300
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: suggest that we have sort of a transparency server kind of thing like

2512
01:51:30,300 --> 01:51:34,940
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the website. So for example, si CPBRD po nasa website po ng Congress na nandun po

2513
01:51:34,940 --> 01:51:40,980
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: ina-upload yung mga budget presentations sa ngayon po. So that's a good effort.

2514
01:51:40,980 --> 01:51:44,980
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: I think what we would also recommend is yung line items din po ng budget for

2515
01:51:44,980 --> 01:51:50,660
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: example, in the BARSc. Last year to be honest, honest feedback po. We were

2516
01:51:50,660 --> 01:51:54,200
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: surprised when the BARSc hearing was convened. We know it was

2517
01:51:54,200 --> 01:51:58,460
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: live-streamed but the schedule was not released in advance. So we were waiting

2518
01:51:58,460 --> 01:52:02,960
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: for when the schedule would be and then we learned on the day itself, ah may live

2519
01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:04,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: stream na pala yung BARSc.

2520
01:52:04,540 --> 01:52:04,920
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So,

2521
01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:06,460
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So, okay, so we're giving the feedback,

2522
01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:09,400
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: sana po ma-announce in advance yung mga schedules like this,

2523
01:52:09,760 --> 01:52:11,040
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: sana po itulo yung live stream,

2524
01:52:11,180 --> 01:52:13,220
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: and then even yung mga line item changes po,

2525
01:52:13,440 --> 01:52:16,160
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: sana po we can transparently see, track,

2526
01:52:16,520 --> 01:52:21,220
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: up to the committee report, up to the third reading version,

2527
01:52:21,360 --> 01:52:24,260
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: because sa ngayon po, I think the versions of the bills

2528
01:52:24,260 --> 01:52:26,660
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: are not yet posted on the website.

2529
01:52:26,820 --> 01:52:30,240
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So we're hoping that we can have some sort of mechanism to track this.

2530
01:52:30,720 --> 01:52:34,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Not to compare po, since you will have your own separate process,

2531
01:52:34,540 --> 01:52:36,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: but in the Senate po, they did have that website

2532
01:52:37,120 --> 01:52:39,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: where they would upload all of the documents complete.

2533
01:52:40,380 --> 01:52:42,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So even, for example, yung proposals for infrastructure,

2534
01:52:43,840 --> 01:52:46,820
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: lahat ng line items po na yun, may in-upload po sila.

2535
01:52:47,200 --> 01:52:49,620
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So what we're trying to say is, it's possible,

2536
01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:52,240
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: kaya po siyang gawin, and we are offering support.

2537
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:54,300
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: We will be happy to provide technical support,

2538
01:52:54,420 --> 01:52:56,760
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: we will be happy to provide additional,

2539
01:52:57,280 --> 01:53:00,280
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: almost like staffing as civil society,

2540
01:53:00,380 --> 01:53:03,300
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: kasi marami po sa amin do this kind of work to begin with po.

2541
01:53:03,300 --> 01:53:06,420
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So we really want to demonstrate that we're here to open that.

2542
01:53:06,540 --> 01:53:09,720
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Practically speaking, what we do recommend is if we can use

2543
01:53:09,720 --> 01:53:12,260
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: machine-readable formats.

2544
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:15,220
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So machine-readable po, meaning naka-Excel file po,

2545
01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:16,700
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: it's easy to track them.

2546
01:53:17,160 --> 01:53:18,300
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: May standardized codes.

2547
01:53:18,540 --> 01:53:23,000
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So in the NEP and the GAA, the DBM attaches a unified account code structure,

2548
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:23,480
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: yung UACS.

2549
01:53:24,140 --> 01:53:26,940
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So kahit baguhin yung name or yung title ng project,

2550
01:53:27,400 --> 01:53:29,840
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: pwede pa rin po siya i-track in case there are errors.

2551
01:53:30,980 --> 01:53:33,280
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Rather than PDFs, which are very difficult,

2552
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:34,340
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: difficult to work with,

2553
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:36,120
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: mahirap po siya i-scan.

2554
01:53:36,540 --> 01:53:38,480
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So yun po, these are all of our,

2555
01:53:39,020 --> 01:53:40,960
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: some of the recommendations that we have.

2556
01:53:41,260 --> 01:53:43,220
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Again, we're very willing to help po,

2557
01:53:43,220 --> 01:53:45,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: to extend a hand, to provide technical support to all of this.

2558
01:53:45,980 --> 01:53:49,240
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Alam po namin na all of the requests that we're asking for,

2559
01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:51,820
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: pwede din po kami mag-ambag dito sa proseso.

2560
01:53:51,920 --> 01:53:53,020
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So yun lamang po. Salamat.

2561
01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:56,080
John Castillo: Thank you, Sir AJ, from People's Budget Coalition.

2562
01:53:56,340 --> 01:54:02,700
John Castillo: Any other concerns with respect to strengthening people's participation

2563
01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:04,660
John Castillo: on the national budget?

2564
01:54:08,620 --> 01:54:12,140
John Castillo: Hearing none, may we call on our panelists

2565
01:54:14,140 --> 01:54:18,860
John Castillo: to share their observation, feedbacks with respect to how

2566
01:54:18,860 --> 01:54:21,720
John Castillo: to strengthen the people's participation

2567
01:54:21,720 --> 01:54:22,820
John Castillo: on the national budget?

2568
01:54:22,940 --> 01:54:23,080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yeah.

2569
01:54:23,240 --> 01:54:23,820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you.

2570
01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:27,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you very much for all the suggestion, and keep in mind

2571
01:54:27,800 --> 01:54:31,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that all those that you've suggested are well taken

2572
01:54:32,260 --> 01:54:34,880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and will be considered seriously.

2573
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:35,940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Dun po sa unang concern.

2574
01:54:35,940 --> 01:54:37,980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kung bakit hindi nabasa.

2575
01:54:37,980 --> 01:54:42,400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Sa amin, simple lang po.

2576
01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:45,280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kung nakarating walang problema sa ating mga vice chair,

2577
01:54:45,280 --> 01:54:47,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: babasahin po namin talaga.

2578
01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:53,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Pero siguro dahil nagsimula, tapos busy na lahat

2579
01:54:53,020 --> 01:54:59,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with the respective departments na idedefend,

2580
01:54:59,460 --> 01:55:02,780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: syempre inaaral po yan, hindi nakarating,

2581
01:55:02,780 --> 01:55:05,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: so hindi po nabasa.

2582
01:55:05,460 --> 01:56:04,490
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Pero ang probably in the next,

2583
01:56:04,850 --> 01:56:05,850
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: few days.

2584
01:56:05,850 --> 01:56:10,510
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Dahil kailangan natin mag-BARSc and executive committee meeting

2585
01:56:10,510 --> 01:56:13,570
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: before the start of the plenary.

2586
01:56:13,570 --> 01:56:18,670
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So sa schedule natin, kailangan na natin mag-plenary next week, no, Vice Chair?

2587
01:56:18,670 --> 01:56:21,170
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So we will have the BARSc before that.

2588
01:56:21,170 --> 01:56:22,170
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you.

2589
01:56:22,170 --> 01:56:24,170
John Castillo: Thank you, Senior Vice Chair.

2590
01:56:24,170 --> 01:56:25,170
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Can I add lang?

2591
01:56:25,170 --> 01:56:26,170
John Castillo: Yes, Kong Arnie, sir.

2592
01:56:26,480 --> 01:56:41,840
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: To educate everyone, ang BARSc po hindi po puwedeng mag-amend or insert anyone, any congressman, kung hindi po nag-eminate yung request galing po sa agency.

2593
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:48,640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, kahit po alam namin na sinabi na po sa amin ng head ng agency na hinawakan namin,

2594
01:56:48,740 --> 01:56:53,340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pero kung wala pong official na sulat, hindi po 'yan pag-uusapan.

2595
01:56:54,140 --> 01:57:02,610
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So lahat po na pag-uusapan sa BARSc is lahat po ng request nag-eminate po officially, signed

2596
01:57:02,610 --> 01:57:04,490
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: by the head of the agency.

2597
01:57:08,870 --> 01:57:09,520
John Castillo: Okay.

2598
01:57:09,520 --> 01:57:12,400
John Castillo: for that clarification, Vice Chair Arnie.

2599
01:57:13,080 --> 01:57:16,140
John Castillo: Any other concerns from our panelists?

2600
01:57:18,400 --> 01:57:21,200
John Castillo: From our CSO participants?

2601
01:57:22,860 --> 01:57:29,940
John Castillo: I think our, currently, our event is being,

2602
01:57:30,020 --> 01:57:36,180
John Castillo: Yes, yes, sir, from Philippine Association of Agriculturists, Inc.

2603
01:57:36,180 --> 01:57:39,040
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Siguro, sir, sa mga sinabi ni Sir Tim,

2604
01:57:39,140 --> 01:57:41,260
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: next year po, siguro [unclear],

2605
01:57:41,320 --> 01:57:42,600
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: dapat sa DBCC pa lang

2606
01:57:43,080 --> 01:57:44,620
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: kasama na po ang CSO.

2607
01:57:44,820 --> 01:57:45,380
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Yun lang po yung

2608
01:57:45,380 --> 01:57:48,500
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: kasi napakahalaga po na malaman na

2609
01:57:48,500 --> 01:57:51,060
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: doon pa lang makapag-raise na po kami ng concern

2610
01:57:51,080 --> 01:57:52,700
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: kasi on the budget matters,

2611
01:57:53,120 --> 01:57:54,700
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: sila lang naman ang sumasagot eh.

2612
01:57:54,700 --> 01:57:58,060
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Wala namang ibang nakakapag-explain properly

2613
01:57:58,060 --> 01:58:01,020
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: ng mga queries na may kinalaman sa pera.

2614
01:58:01,200 --> 01:58:02,140
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Yun lang po, maraming salamat.

2615
01:58:02,160 --> 01:58:03,520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Absolutely, you're very much welcome, no?

2616
01:58:03,520 --> 01:58:06,160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So wala namang problema po sa Appro Committee 'yun.

2617
01:58:06,180 --> 01:58:08,320
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kung makarating po agad yung questions,

2618
01:58:08,680 --> 01:58:11,160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: then we will read it and they can answer.

2619
01:58:11,760 --> 01:58:13,800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So just to clarify lang po.

2620
01:58:14,080 --> 01:58:22,090
John Castillo: Thank you, Sir Al Christian.

2621
01:58:22,490 --> 01:58:24,730
John Castillo: And that's a very helpful suggestion

2622
01:58:24,730 --> 01:58:26,890
John Castillo: to look into the DBCC process

2623
01:58:26,890 --> 01:58:29,090
John Castillo: because that's where things begin.

2624
01:58:30,090 --> 01:58:34,370
John Castillo: Here, it's like NEP submission and evaluation

2625
01:58:34,370 --> 01:58:35,850
John Castillo: of what's already there.

2626
01:58:36,290 --> 01:58:37,800
John Castillo: Yes, just...

2627
01:58:53,690 --> 01:58:55,610
John Castillo: So, at this point,

2628
01:58:55,630 --> 01:58:59,650
John Castillo: we will have a 15-minute break for lunch

2629
01:58:59,650 --> 01:59:02,130
John Castillo: so that we can enjoy our lunch more.

2630
01:59:02,350 --> 01:59:05,390
John Castillo: While our panelists will have to attend to something

2631
01:59:05,390 --> 01:59:09,590
John Castillo: that's a very important or urgent matter.

2632
01:59:09,690 --> 01:59:11,270
John Castillo: But they will return, of course.

2633
01:59:11,730 --> 01:59:13,910
John Castillo: Thank you very much, our panelists,

2634
01:59:14,070 --> 01:59:15,350
John Castillo: SVC Abbott,

2635
01:59:15,690 --> 01:59:18,630
John Castillo: and all our vice chairpersons from the Committee on APRO.

2636
01:59:19,130 --> 01:59:26,380
John Castillo: At this point, also, may we remind

2637
01:59:26,380 --> 01:59:30,260
John Castillo: our CSO partners who raised their position

2638
01:59:30,560 --> 01:59:31,800
John Castillo: at their comments

2639
01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:35,740
John Castillo: to submit their position papers.

2640
01:59:36,480 --> 01:59:37,340
John Castillo: Or if it's already,

2641
01:59:37,720 --> 01:59:39,740
John Castillo: we can ask our documentation team

2642
01:59:39,740 --> 01:59:42,540
John Castillo: to screenshot your...

2643
01:59:42,540 --> 01:59:45,140
John Castillo: whatever reference that you may have

2644
01:59:45,140 --> 01:59:47,160
John Castillo: that you wish to share with us today.

2645
01:59:47,520 --> 01:59:50,740
John Castillo: But better if you will email it formally to us,

2646
01:59:51,100 --> 01:59:53,840
John Castillo: to the Task Force on People's Participation.

2647
01:59:54,240 --> 01:59:55,720
John Castillo: Thank you very much.

2648
02:00:00,460 --> 02:00:07,500
John Castillo: Okay, good afternoon everyone, and again, welcome to People's Budget Review with Civil Society Organizations.

2649
02:00:07,980 --> 02:00:12,280
John Castillo: I hope you had your lunch and are ready for our next segment.

2650
02:00:12,280 --> 02:00:24,020
John Castillo: Then again, we are very pleased to have with us today, again, 16 various civil society organizations and 24 representatives.

2651
02:00:24,020 --> 02:00:33,860
John Castillo: We are also happy that we have with us the Honorable Senior Vice Chair from 2nd District of Bataan,

2652
02:00:34,120 --> 02:00:42,440
John Castillo: Honorable Representative Albert S. Garcia, and our Vice Chairperson of the House Committee on Appropriations,

2653
02:00:43,160 --> 02:00:50,460

2654
02:00:51,320 --> 02:00:53,460
John Castillo: Honorable Representative Monique Lagdameo.

2655
02:00:54,020 --> 02:01:03,640
John Castillo: Thank you very much for coming to this event.

2656
02:01:03,640 --> 02:01:16,140
John Castillo: Now, to proceed with our People's Budget Review, we have with us the Senior Vice Chair and the Committee on Appropriations,

2657
02:01:19,110 --> 02:01:26,210
John Castillo: Honorable Representative Albert S. Garcia, to discuss and present about the people's budget.

2658
02:01:26,230 --> 02:01:28,310
John Castillo: The Philippine Budgeting Code.

2659
02:01:30,730 --> 02:01:36,590
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay, thank you very much, and once again, good afternoon to all of us.

2660
02:01:37,330 --> 02:01:40,670
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I hope everyone has had their lunch.

2661
02:01:41,710 --> 02:01:52,210
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: We just went to the other side temporarily to address some issues in the Department of Labor and in TESDA.

2662
02:01:52,210 --> 02:02:10,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Dr. Miral and his team, and everyone else, and our Vice Chair, we learned a lot from this.

2663
02:02:10,660 --> 02:02:11,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: We learned a lot from this conversation.

2664
02:02:11,180 --> 02:03:37,200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Na naka-record lahat po ng [unclear]. Mr. Montesa, kinausap po natin yung ating ComSec, si ComSec Leo, and he will be coordinating with our CPBRD nang sa ganun magkaroon tayo ng single portal, as you suggested, para hindi n'yo na hanap-hanapin. Although nasa social media po lahat ng mga proceedings na nangyayari, pero it can be quite

2665
02:03:37,200 --> 02:03:38,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: cumbersome

2666
02:03:38,020 --> 02:03:39,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to get

2667
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:39,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: all the

2668
02:03:39,700 --> 02:03:42,280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: data, all the video.

2669
02:03:43,060 --> 02:03:45,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, ilalagay

2670
02:03:45,220 --> 02:03:46,260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na lang po sa isang

2671
02:03:46,260 --> 02:03:47,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: portal.

2672
02:03:48,860 --> 02:03:50,200

02:03:50,200 --> 02:03:51,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng bawat department.

02:03:52,620 --> 02:03:55,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And itatry po lahat ng video rin po

2675
02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:56,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: habang natatapos yung

2676
02:03:56,860 --> 02:03:58,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mga hearings. Kasi nakalive po lahat yan.

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Itatry din ilagay

2678
02:04:01,080 --> 02:04:02,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa isang portal.

2679
02:04:02,960 --> 02:04:04,260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Para when you do the research,

2680
02:04:04,800 --> 02:04:06,280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nasa isang source na lang po.

2681
02:04:06,840 --> 02:04:08,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And thank you for that suggestion.

2682
02:04:08,340 --> 02:04:10,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, si ComSec

2683
02:04:10,120 --> 02:04:12,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Leo ng APRO will be coordinating

2684
02:04:12,560 --> 02:04:14,260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with Dr. Miral

2685
02:04:14,260 --> 02:04:16,200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to put up that site.

2686
02:04:16,640 --> 02:04:18,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And hopefully, mauna yung data

2687
02:04:18,340 --> 02:04:20,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: then eventually yung mga video.

2688
02:04:23,340 --> 02:04:24,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I would like

2689
02:04:24,480 --> 02:04:26,140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to brush on briefly

2690
02:04:26,140 --> 02:04:28,420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with regards to the meritocracy

2691
02:04:28,420 --> 02:04:30,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: because it answers a lot of

2692
02:04:30,340 --> 02:04:32,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the concerns that

2693
02:04:32,060 --> 02:04:34,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: we are raising.

2694
02:04:35,780 --> 02:04:37,300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Galawang bagay po ito.

2695
02:04:37,300 --> 02:04:38,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yung

2696
02:04:38,060 --> 02:04:40,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budget code which has

2697
02:04:40,240 --> 02:04:42,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: a component of meritocracy

2698
02:04:42,440 --> 02:04:44,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para masakop yung national government

2699
02:04:44,440 --> 02:04:46,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at yung amendment to the

2700
02:04:46,500 --> 02:04:48,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: seal of good local governance

2701
02:04:48,180 --> 02:04:50,160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to professionalize

2702
02:04:50,160 --> 02:04:51,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: local

2703
02:04:51,800 --> 02:04:54,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: governance as a whole from the

2704
02:04:54,340 --> 02:04:56,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: barangay, munisipyo,

2705
02:04:56,840 --> 02:04:58,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: city,

2706
02:04:58,980 --> 02:05:00,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and province para

2707
02:05:00,320 --> 02:05:02,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: maging on the same page. So, I mentioned

2708
02:05:02,580 --> 02:05:04,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: earlier na ito pong

2709
02:05:04,860 --> 02:05:05,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: meritocracy

2710
02:05:05,680 --> 02:05:07,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: captures

2711
02:05:08,060 --> 02:05:10,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: in a mathematical

2712
02:05:10,240 --> 02:05:12,200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: equation yung ambisyon natin

2713
02:05:12,200 --> 02:05:14,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 2040. So, you might be wondering

2714
02:05:14,480 --> 02:05:16,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ano yung mathematical equation

2715
02:05:16,380 --> 02:05:18,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na yun? And we consider

2716
02:05:18,440 --> 02:05:19,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: this

2717
02:05:19,020 --> 02:05:21,840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: as an elegant

2718
02:05:21,840 --> 02:05:22,940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: equation.

2719
02:05:24,160 --> 02:05:26,280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: If I may say so, parang

2720
02:05:26,280 --> 02:05:27,980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: E equals MC squared.

2721
02:05:28,400 --> 02:05:28,840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Parang ganon.

2722
02:05:30,700 --> 02:05:34,540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, why did we do this?

2723
02:05:35,920 --> 02:05:36,260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Para

2724
02:05:36,260 --> 02:05:37,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: measurable

2725
02:05:37,800 --> 02:05:38,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and

2726
02:05:38,800 --> 02:05:39,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: if we're going to do this, we're going to do this.

2727
02:05:39,920 --> 02:05:41,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, we're able to measure it sa mga management

2728
02:05:41,920 --> 02:05:44,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: expert, we're able to

2729
02:05:44,000 --> 02:05:45,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: improve it.

2730
02:05:46,740 --> 02:05:47,760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, yung equation po

2731
02:05:47,760 --> 02:05:50,080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is what we

2732
02:05:50,080 --> 02:05:51,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: call HDI

2733
02:05:51,480 --> 02:05:52,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: plus plus.

2734
02:05:53,940 --> 02:05:55,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, a lot of us

2735
02:05:55,700 --> 02:05:57,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: know what HDI

2736
02:05:57,660 --> 02:06:00,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is. It's a globally recognized

2737
02:06:00,060 --> 02:06:01,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: measure for quality of life.

2738
02:06:02,460 --> 02:06:03,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Tatlo yung pillars niya.

2739
02:06:04,500 --> 02:06:05,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Education,

2740
02:06:06,160 --> 02:06:08,080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: health, and per capita income.

2741
02:06:08,080 --> 02:06:09,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, jobs and local economy.

2742
02:06:09,920 --> 02:06:12,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Tapos, dinagdagan natin ng isang plus

2743
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:12,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para mas

2744
02:06:12,700 --> 02:06:15,420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mat-tweak natin in our setting

2745
02:06:15,420 --> 02:06:17,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that first plus is peace and order

2746
02:06:17,600 --> 02:06:19,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: including accidents

2747
02:06:19,460 --> 02:06:21,260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: dahil major cost

2748
02:06:21,260 --> 02:06:24,260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng threat

2749
02:06:24,260 --> 02:06:24,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to life

2750
02:06:24,920 --> 02:06:28,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa young age

2751
02:06:28,060 --> 02:06:29,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: group, katulad ni Vice Chair

2752
02:06:29,660 --> 02:06:30,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Arnie.

2753
02:06:31,640 --> 02:06:34,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And the second plus

2754
02:06:34,100 --> 02:06:35,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is very important

2755
02:06:35,700 --> 02:06:37,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: globally at napaka-importante

2756
02:06:37,700 --> 02:06:39,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa setting ng Pilipinas

2757
02:06:39,040 --> 02:06:39,880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is

2758
02:06:39,920 --> 02:06:41,360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: affordability.

2759
02:06:41,900 --> 02:06:44,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Hindi inflation, although inflation has a lot

2760
02:06:44,220 --> 02:06:45,840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to do with it, but who

2761
02:06:45,840 --> 02:06:48,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: understands inflation?

2762
02:06:48,480 --> 02:06:50,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, affordability, dahil naintindihan natin

2763
02:06:50,900 --> 02:06:52,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung presyo ng basic commodities

2764
02:06:52,740 --> 02:06:54,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na binibili natin sa ating

2765
02:06:54,580 --> 02:06:56,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: supermarket or public

2766
02:06:56,720 --> 02:06:58,820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: market. So, itong lima na ito

2767
02:06:58,820 --> 02:07:00,940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is the summation

2768
02:07:00,940 --> 02:07:03,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: essentially

2769
02:07:03,060 --> 02:07:04,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of ambition natin

2770
02:07:04,380 --> 02:07:07,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 2040. To improve

2771
02:07:07,040 --> 02:07:08,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the life of every

2772
02:07:08,800 --> 02:07:09,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Filipino.

2773
02:07:09,920 --> 02:07:11,300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: In context.

2774
02:07:12,160 --> 02:07:14,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, aggregated po siya sa national

2775
02:07:14,220 --> 02:07:15,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: level, which

2776
02:07:15,800 --> 02:07:17,940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: dahil mathematical equation na siya

2777
02:07:17,940 --> 02:07:19,980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pwedeng ma-disaggregate to

2778
02:07:19,980 --> 02:07:21,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the regional level

2779
02:07:21,220 --> 02:07:23,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para makita natin yung performance

2780
02:07:23,440 --> 02:07:25,880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng mga regions, which

2781
02:07:25,880 --> 02:07:28,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: can further be disaggregated

2782
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:29,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to the provincial level

2783
02:07:29,600 --> 02:07:31,160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para makita rin natin yung

2784
02:07:31,160 --> 02:07:33,820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: performance ng mga probinsya

2785
02:07:33,820 --> 02:07:35,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and reward

2786
02:07:35,920 --> 02:07:36,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: accordingly

2787
02:07:36,580 --> 02:07:39,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and can be disaggregated

2788
02:07:39,920 --> 02:07:42,160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to the congressional district level

2789
02:07:42,160 --> 02:07:44,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para makita natin yung performance

2790
02:07:44,660 --> 02:07:46,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng ating district representatives

2791
02:07:46,720 --> 02:07:48,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or party list

2792
02:07:48,040 --> 02:07:49,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: representative

2793
02:07:49,460 --> 02:07:52,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kasi sinasabi nila yung kongreso

2794
02:07:52,320 --> 02:07:53,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: puro salita lang. Dito,

2795
02:07:54,040 --> 02:07:56,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mame-measure natin yung performance

2796
02:07:56,340 --> 02:07:58,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng direct representative

2797
02:07:58,440 --> 02:08:00,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of the people

2798
02:08:00,660 --> 02:08:02,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: not just in the national

2799
02:08:02,380 --> 02:08:04,360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budget, but in the national government

2800
02:08:04,360 --> 02:08:06,780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and further disaggregated

2801
02:08:06,780 --> 02:08:07,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to the cities,

2802
02:08:08,720 --> 02:08:09,460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: municipalities,

2803
02:08:09,920 --> 02:08:11,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and barangays.

2804
02:08:11,980 --> 02:08:14,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Imagine measuring that five

2805
02:08:14,320 --> 02:08:16,640
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pillars of quality

2806
02:08:16,640 --> 02:08:18,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of life up to the

2807
02:08:18,440 --> 02:08:20,200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: granular level

2808
02:08:20,200 --> 02:08:21,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of the barangays.

2809
02:08:22,360 --> 02:08:24,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And dahil measurable na siya, by the way,

2810
02:08:24,860 --> 02:08:26,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: may proxy data sources

2811
02:08:26,380 --> 02:08:28,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na ito, which we identified

2812
02:08:28,060 --> 02:08:30,300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and we can identify more

2813
02:08:30,300 --> 02:08:32,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na for the IT

2814
02:08:32,500 --> 02:08:34,300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: experts where

2815
02:08:34,300 --> 02:08:35,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: data comes to us

2816
02:08:35,900 --> 02:08:38,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: unlike yung mga survey na magastos

2817
02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:39,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and can be inaccurate.

2818
02:08:39,920 --> 02:08:41,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Where we chase data,

2819
02:08:42,360 --> 02:08:43,300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: dito po baliktad.

2820
02:08:43,940 --> 02:08:46,400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Data comes to us for free

2821
02:08:46,400 --> 02:08:48,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at kailangan lang ma-analyze

2822
02:08:48,900 --> 02:08:50,160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with the PSA,

2823
02:08:50,280 --> 02:08:52,080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: DICT, COA,

2824
02:08:52,240 --> 02:08:54,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para hindi lang process-based, pati outcome-based.

2825
02:08:55,500 --> 02:08:56,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Sinasuggest ko rin po ito

2826
02:08:56,860 --> 02:08:57,920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kay ombudsman

2827
02:08:57,920 --> 02:08:59,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Boeing Remolia

2828
02:08:59,240 --> 02:09:02,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para mag-guard, sabi niya kailangan yung ombudsman

2829
02:09:02,660 --> 02:09:04,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to be the guardians of the

2830
02:09:04,440 --> 02:09:06,140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: not of the galaxy,

2831
02:09:06,480 --> 02:09:07,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: but of the budget.

2832
02:09:07,620 --> 02:09:09,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, para mabantayan,

2833
02:09:09,920 --> 02:09:12,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung sins of commission ma-prevent

2834
02:09:12,380 --> 02:09:14,660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and sins of omission,

2835
02:09:14,660 --> 02:09:15,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung performance.

2836
02:09:16,060 --> 02:09:17,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, imagine

2837
02:09:17,120 --> 02:09:18,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mamimesure natin yun

2838
02:09:18,740 --> 02:09:22,160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: in the very granular level

2839
02:09:22,160 --> 02:09:23,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na pwedeng aggregate

2840
02:09:23,800 --> 02:09:25,840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pataas hanggang sa national level.

2841
02:09:26,300 --> 02:09:26,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, top

2842
02:09:26,740 --> 02:09:27,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to bottom

2843
02:09:27,800 --> 02:09:29,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and bottom up.

2844
02:09:30,780 --> 02:09:31,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Context

2845
02:09:31,340 --> 02:09:32,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: changes

2846
02:09:32,520 --> 02:09:33,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: everything.

2847
02:09:34,680 --> 02:09:36,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yung pinag-uusapan natin dito

2848
02:09:36,180 --> 02:09:36,940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: national level,

2849
02:09:37,020 --> 02:09:38,540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: so we can talk the whole day.

2850
02:09:39,080 --> 02:09:39,260

3015
02:15:06,740 --> 02:15:08,060
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Through these mechanisms,

3016
02:15:08,360 --> 02:15:10,520
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: community needs and development priorities

3017
02:15:10,520 --> 02:15:11,580
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: are identified,

3018
02:15:12,420 --> 02:15:14,620
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: consolidated, and elevated

3019
02:15:14,620 --> 02:15:16,360
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: from the local to the

3020
02:15:16,360 --> 02:15:17,260
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: regional level.

3021
02:15:18,100 --> 02:15:20,100
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: At the same time, national

3022
02:15:20,100 --> 02:15:22,480
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: agencies formulate their plans

3023
02:15:22,480 --> 02:15:24,180
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and budget proposals

3024
02:15:24,180 --> 02:15:25,920
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: based on their mandates,

3025
02:15:26,580 --> 02:15:27,740
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: sectoral priorities,

3026
02:15:28,540 --> 02:15:29,620
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: technical assessments,

3027
02:15:30,000 --> 02:15:32,440
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and national development objectives.

3028
02:15:33,460 --> 02:15:34,560
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: And at the center

3029
02:15:34,560 --> 02:15:36,620
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: of the national budget process

3030
02:15:36,620 --> 02:15:38,660
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: is the Development Budget

3031
02:15:38,660 --> 02:15:39,960
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Coordination Committee,

3032
02:15:40,480 --> 02:15:42,320
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: or DBCC, where

3033
02:15:42,320 --> 02:15:44,600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: fiscal capacity, economic

3034
02:15:44,600 --> 02:15:46,300
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: targets, government

3035
02:15:46,300 --> 02:15:48,540
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: priorities, and the overall

3036
02:15:48,540 --> 02:15:50,080
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: expenditure framework

3037
02:15:50,080 --> 02:15:52,720
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: come together to shape the resources

3038
02:15:52,720 --> 02:15:54,420
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: available for the national

3039
02:15:54,420 --> 02:15:56,440
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: budget. So the

3040
02:15:56,440 --> 02:15:58,660
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: challenge, in my

3041
02:15:58,660 --> 02:15:59,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: opinion, is

3042
02:15:59,980 --> 02:16:01,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: not the absence of bottom-up

3043
02:16:01,980 --> 02:16:04,500
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: participation. The challenge

3044
02:16:04,500 --> 02:16:05,620
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: is harmonization.

3045
02:16:06,640 --> 02:16:07,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: What happens when

3046
02:16:07,980 --> 02:16:10,100
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: priorities identified from the ground

3047
02:16:10,100 --> 02:16:11,840
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: up meet national

3048
02:16:11,840 --> 02:16:13,240
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: agency priorities,

3049
02:16:13,980 --> 02:16:15,880
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: fiscal constraints, and

3050
02:16:15,880 --> 02:16:18,080
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: ultimately the top-down allocation

3051
02:16:18,080 --> 02:16:20,300
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and final prioritization

3052
02:16:20,300 --> 02:16:22,140
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: of programs and projects

3053
02:16:22,140 --> 02:16:23,800
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: in the national budget?

3054
02:16:24,800 --> 02:16:26,320
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: How do we ensure

3055
02:16:26,320 --> 02:16:28,480
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: that priorities identified

3056
02:16:28,480 --> 02:16:29,960
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and validated from the barangay

3057
02:16:29,980 --> 02:16:31,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: to the regional level

3058
02:16:31,980 --> 02:16:33,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: are meaningfully

3059
02:16:33,980 --> 02:16:35,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: considered when decisions are made

3060
02:16:35,980 --> 02:16:37,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: on what gets funded,

3061
02:16:37,980 --> 02:16:39,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: where resources are allocated,

3062
02:16:39,980 --> 02:16:41,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and which needs receive

3063
02:16:41,980 --> 02:16:43,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: priority?

3064
02:16:43,980 --> 02:16:45,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: This is an important space

3065
02:16:45,980 --> 02:16:47,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: for strengthening people's

3066
02:16:47,980 --> 02:16:49,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: participation in the national

3067
02:16:49,980 --> 02:16:51,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: budget process.

3068
02:16:51,980 --> 02:16:53,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Early in the 20th Congress,

3069
02:16:53,980 --> 02:16:55,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: the House adopted House Resolution

3070
02:16:55,980 --> 02:16:57,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: No. 3, recognizing

3071
02:16:57,980 --> 02:16:59,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: the importance of people's participation

3072
02:16:59,980 --> 02:17:01,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: in the national budget

3073
02:17:01,980 --> 02:17:03,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: process. Follow the issuance

3074
02:17:03,980 --> 02:17:05,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: of the interim guidelines

3075
02:17:05,980 --> 02:17:07,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: on people's organizations

3076
02:17:09,980 --> 02:17:11,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: engagement in the national

3077
02:17:11,980 --> 02:17:13,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: government budget legislation

3078
02:17:13,980 --> 02:17:15,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and oversight. These

3079
02:17:15,980 --> 02:17:17,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: were important first steps.

3080
02:17:17,980 --> 02:17:19,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: And today, six

3081
02:17:19,980 --> 02:17:21,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: legislative measures relating to

3082
02:17:21,980 --> 02:17:23,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: public participation in

3083
02:17:23,980 --> 02:17:25,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: the national budget process

3084
02:17:25,980 --> 02:17:27,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: are pending before the Committee

3085
02:17:27,980 --> 02:17:29,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: on People's Participation.

3086
02:17:29,980 --> 02:17:31,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Our opportunity

3087
02:17:31,980 --> 02:17:33,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: now is to study these measures

3088
02:17:33,980 --> 02:17:35,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: together with our stakeholders.

3089
02:17:37,980 --> 02:17:39,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Strengthen what already works,

3090
02:17:39,980 --> 02:17:41,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: address the gaps,

3091
02:17:41,980 --> 02:17:43,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and ultimately move from an

3092
02:17:43,980 --> 02:17:45,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: interim mechanism toward

3093
02:17:45,980 --> 02:17:47,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: a permanent and institutionalized

3094
02:17:47,980 --> 02:17:49,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: framework for meaningful

3095
02:17:49,980 --> 02:17:51,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: people's participation.

3096
02:17:51,980 --> 02:17:53,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: But of course,

3097
02:17:53,980 --> 02:17:55,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: meaningful participation

3098
02:17:55,980 --> 02:17:57,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: must also be evidence-based

3099
02:17:57,980 --> 02:17:59,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and data-driven.

3100
02:17:59,980 --> 02:18:01,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: A people's budget

3101
02:18:01,980 --> 02:18:03,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: cannot simply be a collection

3102
02:18:03,980 --> 02:18:05,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: of requests. Whether

3103
02:18:05,980 --> 02:18:07,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: priorities come from government,

3104
02:18:07,980 --> 02:18:09,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: civil society organizations,

3105
02:18:09,980 --> 02:18:11,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: or people's organizations,

3106
02:18:11,980 --> 02:18:13,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: they should be supported

3107
02:18:13,980 --> 02:18:15,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: by data, demonstrated

3108
02:18:15,980 --> 02:18:17,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: need, and evidence

3109
02:18:17,980 --> 02:18:19,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: of the outcomes that

3110
02:18:19,980 --> 02:18:21,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: they are intended

3111
02:18:21,980 --> 02:18:23,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: to achieve.

3112
02:18:23,980 --> 02:18:25,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Our CSOs and POs

3113
02:18:25,980 --> 02:18:27,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: are valuable partners

3114
02:18:27,980 --> 02:18:29,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: because they bring essential

3115
02:18:29,980 --> 02:18:31,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: ground-level perspective.

3116
02:18:31,980 --> 02:18:33,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: The realities experienced

3117
02:18:33,980 --> 02:18:35,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: by communities,

3118
02:18:35,980 --> 02:18:37,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: the needs of vulnerable sectors,

3119
02:18:37,980 --> 02:18:39,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and the actual impact

3120
02:18:39,980 --> 02:18:41,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: of government programs.

3121
02:18:41,980 --> 02:18:43,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: But this ground-level

3122
02:18:43,980 --> 02:18:45,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: knowledge becomes

3123
02:18:45,980 --> 02:18:47,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: even more powerful

3124
02:18:47,980 --> 02:18:49,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: when supported by data

3125
02:18:49,980 --> 02:18:51,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and evidence.

3126
02:18:51,980 --> 02:18:53,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: CSOs and POs can be partners

3127
02:18:53,980 --> 02:18:55,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: not only in articulating

3128
02:18:55,980 --> 02:18:57,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: community needs, but

3129
02:18:57,980 --> 02:18:59,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: also in validating priorities,

3130
02:18:59,980 --> 02:19:01,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: assessing impact,

3131
02:19:01,980 --> 02:19:03,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and helping determine

3132
02:19:03,980 --> 02:19:05,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: what works and what does not.

3133
02:19:05,980 --> 02:19:07,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: This allows

3134
02:19:07,980 --> 02:19:09,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: people's participation to move

3135
02:19:09,980 --> 02:19:11,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: beyond consultation

3136
02:19:11,980 --> 02:19:13,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: toward informed participation,

3137
02:19:13,980 --> 02:19:15,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: where government and

3138
02:19:15,980 --> 02:19:17,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: citizens can make better decisions

3139
02:19:17,980 --> 02:19:19,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: about where limited

3140
02:19:19,980 --> 02:19:21,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: public resources can achieve

3141
02:19:21,980 --> 02:19:23,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: greater impact.

3142
02:19:23,980 --> 02:19:25,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: And ultimately,

3143
02:19:25,980 --> 02:19:27,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: the real bottom line is not

3144
02:19:27,980 --> 02:19:29,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: how much government spends,

3145
02:19:29,980 --> 02:19:31,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: but what we achieve

3146
02:19:31,980 --> 02:19:33,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: for our people.

3147
02:19:33,980 --> 02:19:35,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Like what Kong Abet said,

3148
02:19:35,980 --> 02:19:37,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: we want to answer

3149
02:19:37,980 --> 02:19:39,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: questions like,

3150
02:19:39,980 --> 02:19:41,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: did we reduce poverty

3151
02:19:41,980 --> 02:19:43,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and improve household incomes?

3152
02:19:43,980 --> 02:19:45,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Did we improve health

3153
02:19:45,980 --> 02:19:47,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and education?

3154
02:19:47,980 --> 02:19:49,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Did we create jobs, livelihoods,

3155
02:19:49,980 --> 02:19:51,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: investments,

3156
02:19:51,980 --> 02:19:53,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and economic opportunities?

3157
02:19:53,980 --> 02:19:55,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Did we make basic needs

3158
02:19:55,980 --> 02:19:57,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and the cost of living

3159
02:19:57,980 --> 02:19:59,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: more affordable?

3160
02:19:59,980 --> 02:20:01,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Did we improve peace and order

3161
02:20:01,980 --> 02:20:03,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and make our communities safer?

3162
02:20:03,980 --> 02:20:05,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Did we improve access,

3163
02:20:05,980 --> 02:20:07,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: infrastructure, mobility,

3164
02:20:07,980 --> 02:20:09,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: connectivity, and essential

3165
02:20:09,980 --> 02:20:11,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: services?

3166
02:20:11,980 --> 02:20:13,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: And did we make our communities

3167
02:20:13,980 --> 02:20:15,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: more resilient and sustainable?

3168
02:20:15,980 --> 02:20:17,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: These are the broader

3169
02:20:17,980 --> 02:20:19,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Human Development Index

3170
02:20:19,980 --> 02:20:21,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: plus plus outcomes

3171
02:20:21,980 --> 02:20:23,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: that should guide our budget priorities

3172
02:20:23,980 --> 02:20:25,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and how we measure

3173
02:20:25,980 --> 02:20:27,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: government performance.

3174
02:20:27,980 --> 02:20:29,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: These outcomes should provide

3175
02:20:29,980 --> 02:20:31,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: a common direction across government

3176
02:20:31,980 --> 02:20:33,980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: from barangay, municipality,

3306
02:24:54,600 --> 02:24:56,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: because there's no guidelines po, wala pong

3307
02:24:56,600 --> 02:24:58,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: guidelines kung paano kami magsasubmit

3308

3313
02:25:08,600 --> 02:25:10,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: Last year po, the guidelines

3314
02:25:10,600 --> 02:25:12,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: were released before

3315
02:25:12,600 --> 02:25:14,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: all the hearings. And

3316
02:25:14,600 --> 02:25:16,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: kung may ano po, o dapat po

3317

3318
02:25:18,600 --> 02:25:20,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: So this time po

02:25:20,600 --> 02:25:22,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: we were told na under

3320
02:25:22,600 --> 02:25:24,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: consideration para po siya ng APRO.

3322
02:25:26,600 --> 02:25:28,600

3323
02:25:28,600 --> 02:25:30,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: just to end, we'd like to seek and explain

3324
02:25:30,600 --> 02:25:32,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: explanation po or maybe a rationale

3325
02:25:32,600 --> 02:25:34,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: why it couldn't be released before the

3326
02:25:34,600 --> 02:25:36,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: hearings this year and to prevent

3327
02:25:36,600 --> 02:25:38,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: po a possible sin of

3328
02:25:38,600 --> 02:25:40,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: omission if we are unable

3329
02:25:40,600 --> 02:25:42,600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: to issue these guidelines.

3330
02:25:42,600 --> 02:25:44,600

3352
02:26:30,540 --> 02:26:32,540

3353

3354
02:26:34,540 --> 02:26:36,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: be implemented. I think

3355

3356

3369
02:27:04,540 --> 02:27:06,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the issues that we flagged, the lack of

3370
02:27:06,540 --> 02:27:08,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: funding for education, for transportation,

3371
02:27:08,540 --> 02:27:10,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: for agriculture, all these

3372
02:27:10,540 --> 02:27:12,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: different sectors. But also,

3373
02:27:12,540 --> 02:27:14,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: we do hope that the

3374
02:27:14,540 --> 02:27:16,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: past practices of Congress,

3375
02:27:16,540 --> 02:27:18,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: for example, emphasizing

3376
02:27:18,540 --> 02:27:20,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: ayuda programs or politicized infrastructure

3377
02:27:20,540 --> 02:27:22,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: projects, these are some things that

3378
02:27:22,540 --> 02:27:24,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: we are constantly monitoring.

3379
02:27:24,540 --> 02:27:26,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: And we hope that by flagging these,

3380
02:27:26,540 --> 02:27:28,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: we can have a more

3381

02:27:30,540 --> 02:27:32,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: free from corruption po. We'll be

3384
02:27:34,540 --> 02:27:36,540

3385
02:27:36,540 --> 02:27:38,540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: po if we have clear guidelines

3386

3424
02:28:56,030 --> 02:28:58,030

3425
02:28:58,030 --> 02:29:00,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: it's good to have that here.

3426
02:29:00,030 --> 02:29:02,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: We just really

3427
02:29:02,030 --> 02:29:04,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: wanted, I think, to reiterate how

3428
02:29:04,030 --> 02:29:06,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: we want to maintain

3429
02:29:06,030 --> 02:29:08,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: the initiative, the process,

3430
02:29:08,030 --> 02:29:10,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: the openness that was shown last

3431
02:29:10,030 --> 02:29:12,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: year. I think the sentiment

3432
02:29:12,030 --> 02:29:14,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: right now is that it does not,

3433
02:29:14,030 --> 02:29:16,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: we feel like we're moving a step backward

3434
02:29:16,030 --> 02:29:18,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: a bit from last year, at least in terms

3435
02:29:18,030 --> 02:29:20,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: of CSO engagement.

3436
02:29:20,030 --> 02:29:22,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: But I think we

3437
02:29:22,030 --> 02:29:24,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: are in all in agreement

3438
02:29:24,030 --> 02:29:26,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: that there's a little bit more

3439
02:29:26,030 --> 02:29:28,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: responsiveness,

3440
02:29:28,030 --> 02:29:30,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: especially with this.

3441
02:29:30,030 --> 02:29:32,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: So, I think for MBC,

3442
02:29:32,030 --> 02:29:34,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: our main concern is really

3443
02:29:34,030 --> 02:29:36,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: on the

3444
02:29:36,030 --> 02:29:38,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: clearing up the sentiment

3445
02:29:38,030 --> 02:29:40,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: around corruption scandals.

3446
02:29:40,030 --> 02:29:42,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: It has been very bad

3447
02:29:42,030 --> 02:29:44,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: for business, for foreign direct

3448
02:29:44,030 --> 02:29:46,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: investments.

3449
02:29:46,030 --> 02:29:48,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: That is something we're constantly monitoring.

3450
02:29:48,030 --> 02:29:50,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: And really our engagement

3451
02:29:50,030 --> 02:29:52,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: here is in the hopes of

3452
02:29:52,030 --> 02:29:54,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: really clarifying that.

3453
02:29:54,030 --> 02:29:56,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: And other items as well on the budget,

3454
02:29:56,030 --> 02:29:58,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: we're monitoring on

3455
02:29:58,030 --> 02:30:00,030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: if there's clear

3456
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:07,800
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: investment on regulatory desks in ease of doing business and key to this as well as our

3457
02:30:07,800 --> 02:30:14,160
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: push for the Right to Information Act as you as we mentioned is kulang na lang sa

3458
02:30:14,160 --> 02:30:21,180
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: BICAM we really are pushing for this and we've been actively convening as

3459
02:30:21,180 --> 02:30:28,240
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: MBC multiple companies mostly from multinational sectors on the issues

3460
02:30:28,240 --> 02:30:34,560
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: around the lack of information and we've received many cases many queries on

3461
02:30:34,560 --> 02:30:40,780
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: loss of investments missed opportunities and I think that is really part of the

3462
02:30:40,780 --> 02:30:46,660
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: broader forms that we're hoping to really push for alongside Cadena I think

3463
02:30:46,660 --> 02:30:52,160
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: as you mentioned I really need a push for these reforms for more proactive

3464
02:30:52,160 --> 02:30:57,300
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: disclosure and more clarity I think key to what business wants is clarity and

3465
02:30:57,300 --> 02:30:58,120
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: predictability

3466

3468
02:31:05,480 --> 02:31:11,660
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: getting a heads up on hearings and sessions as well as where we actually

3469

02:39:48,960 --> 02:39:50,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: patience and proactive

3676
02:39:50,960 --> 02:39:52,960

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: so umpisa mabagal,

3679

02:39:58,960 --> 02:40:00,960

02:40:00,960 --> 02:40:02,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: bumilis na, magiging steady

3682
02:40:02,960 --> 02:40:04,960

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: business club, at

3686
02:40:10,960 --> 02:40:12,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: it will

3687
02:40:12,960 --> 02:40:14,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hopefully prevent

3688
02:40:14,960 --> 02:40:16,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: corruption by lessening

3689
02:40:16,960 --> 02:40:18,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the fiscal space

3690
02:40:18,960 --> 02:40:20,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: for discretion,

3691
02:40:20,960 --> 02:40:22,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: which leads to corruption, and increase

3692
02:40:22,960 --> 02:40:24,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the fiscal space for

3693
02:40:24,960 --> 02:40:26,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: performance-based.

3694
02:40:26,960 --> 02:40:28,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And outcome-based,

3695
02:40:28,960 --> 02:40:30,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: imagine kung yung budget

3696
02:40:30,960 --> 02:40:32,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: natin, nakikita natin

3697
02:40:32,960 --> 02:40:34,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung improvement ng

3698
02:40:34,960 --> 02:40:36,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: HDI++

3699
02:40:36,960 --> 02:40:38,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from

3700
02:40:38,960 --> 02:40:40,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budget ng local governments together

3701
02:40:40,960 --> 02:40:42,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with the national government,

3702
02:40:42,960 --> 02:40:44,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: per barangay, per municipality,

3703
02:40:44,960 --> 02:40:46,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: per city,

3704
02:40:46,960 --> 02:40:48,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: per congressional district,

3705
02:40:48,960 --> 02:40:50,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: per province,

3706
02:40:50,960 --> 02:40:52,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: aggregated to the regions, and

3707
02:40:52,960 --> 02:40:54,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the national level.

3708
02:40:54,960 --> 02:40:56,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Wouldn't that be a better

3709
02:40:56,960 --> 02:40:58,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Philippines for us?

02:40:58,960 --> 02:41:00,960

John Castillo: additional message or

3718
02:41:16,910 --> 02:41:18,030
John Castillo: inputs, Kong Arno,

3719
02:41:18,030 --> 02:41:18,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: additional

3720
02:41:18,910 --> 02:41:20,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ano lang, especially

3721
02:41:20,910 --> 02:41:22,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: with the

3722
02:41:22,910 --> 02:41:24,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Ma'am Eunice, sa

3723
02:41:24,910 --> 02:41:26,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: MBC.

3724
02:41:26,910 --> 02:41:28,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Actually,

3725
02:41:28,910 --> 02:41:30,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we were bothered nung sinabi na

3726
02:41:30,910 --> 02:41:32,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: one step back.

3727
02:41:32,910 --> 02:41:34,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So it's never the intention

3728
02:41:34,910 --> 02:41:36,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng Appropriations

3729
02:41:36,910 --> 02:41:38,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Committee. So actually,

3730
02:41:38,910 --> 02:41:40,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung ginawa po namin last time,

3731
02:41:40,910 --> 02:41:42,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we want to improve it, but

3732
02:41:42,910 --> 02:41:44,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I have to call the attention ng

3733
02:41:44,910 --> 02:41:46,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: CPBRD.

3734
02:41:46,910 --> 02:41:48,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I know

3735
02:41:48,910 --> 02:41:50,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we're doing a lot of things.

3736
02:41:50,910 --> 02:41:52,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: The

3737
02:41:52,910 --> 02:41:54,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: questions should emanate from

3738
02:41:54,910 --> 02:41:56,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: you. You have to give

3739
02:41:56,910 --> 02:41:58,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: it to us. Okay?

3740
02:41:58,910 --> 02:42:00,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And hindi yung one step back tayo,

3741
02:42:00,910 --> 02:42:02,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: but I think we need to improve

3742
02:42:02,910 --> 02:42:04,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pa nga eh. And with your inputs,

3743
02:42:04,910 --> 02:42:06,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mas may improve po natin

3744
02:42:06,910 --> 02:42:08,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: for the next budget hearings

3745
02:42:08,910 --> 02:42:10,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pa. Pero pa tayong

3746
02:42:10,910 --> 02:42:12,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 2028, so on and so

3747
02:42:12,910 --> 02:42:14,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: forth. But it's never the

3748
02:42:14,910 --> 02:42:16,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: intention ng Appropriations Committee

3749
02:42:16,910 --> 02:42:18,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: na ma-feel nyo po yun,

3750
02:42:18,910 --> 02:42:20,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: na ninineglect

3751
02:42:20,910 --> 02:42:22,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: po yung ating mga CSO.

3752
02:42:22,910 --> 02:42:24,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So medyo

3753
02:42:24,910 --> 02:42:26,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: karoon po talaga ng problema.

3754
02:42:26,910 --> 02:42:28,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Sabi ko nga,

3755
02:42:28,910 --> 02:42:30,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I don't want to find faults, but we need

3756
02:42:30,910 --> 02:42:32,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: to find solutions. How to improve this,

3757
02:42:32,910 --> 02:42:34,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: no? And this will not

3758
02:42:34,910 --> 02:42:36,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: happen again. So all

3759
02:42:36,910 --> 02:42:38,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: the questions na binigay po ninyo,

3760
02:42:38,910 --> 02:42:40,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: hindi pa naman po tapos yung

3761
02:42:40,910 --> 02:42:42,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: budget natin, pwede

3762
02:42:42,910 --> 02:42:44,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pa po yan. Even sa plenary,

3763
02:42:44,910 --> 02:42:46,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pwede pa po yan.

3764
02:42:46,910 --> 02:42:48,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Even nga sa BICAM,

3765
02:42:48,910 --> 02:42:50,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pwede pa po yan. Okay?

3766
02:42:50,910 --> 02:42:52,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So all your inputs are

3767
02:42:52,910 --> 02:42:54,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: well noted.

3768
02:42:54,910 --> 02:42:56,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And we will act on it.

3769
02:42:56,910 --> 02:42:58,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: That is our commitment.

3770
02:42:58,910 --> 02:43:00,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: We just don't want you to feel na

3771
02:43:00,910 --> 02:43:02,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: instead of moving forward,

3772
02:43:02,910 --> 02:43:04,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we are moving backward, no?

3773
02:43:04,910 --> 02:43:06,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So we are very transparent,

3774
02:43:06,910 --> 02:43:08,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: no?

3775
02:43:08,910 --> 02:43:10,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Regarding the schedule,

3776
02:43:10,910 --> 02:43:12,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa toto lang po until now, it's hard to make

3777
02:43:12,910 --> 02:43:14,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: schedules. Because some agencies,

3778
02:43:14,910 --> 02:43:16,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pag schedule mo po bukas,

3779
02:43:16,910 --> 02:43:18,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: hindi pwede secretary, kasi

3780
02:43:18,910 --> 02:43:20,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: may ginagawa. So we need to reschedule

3781
02:43:20,910 --> 02:43:22,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: again. And even po sa

3782
02:43:22,910 --> 02:43:24,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: BARC, hanggang ngayon wala pa po ang

3783
02:43:24,910 --> 02:43:26,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: schedule talaga. And until

3784
02:43:26,910 --> 02:43:28,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: now,

3785
02:43:28,910 --> 02:43:30,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nagsischedule din po kami. Because I need

3786
02:43:30,910 --> 02:43:32,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: to study also my

3787
02:43:32,910 --> 02:43:34,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: agency, especially DOE

3788
02:43:34,910 --> 02:43:36,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: and DILG.

3789
02:43:36,910 --> 02:43:38,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Napakalaki po yan.

3790
02:43:38,910 --> 02:43:40,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Systems laws, I have to explain it to

3791
02:43:40,910 --> 02:43:42,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: the people. How do we do it? The

3792
02:43:42,910 --> 02:43:44,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: non-technical, technical. So

3793
02:43:44,910 --> 02:43:46,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we also need the

3794
02:43:46,910 --> 02:43:48,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: date. Pero actually,

3795
02:43:48,910 --> 02:43:50,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: hanggang ngayon, wala pa rin po kaming

3796
02:43:50,910 --> 02:43:52,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: date. So minsan mabiglaan,

3797
02:43:52,910 --> 02:43:54,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: but this is our job. It's

3798
02:43:54,910 --> 02:43:56,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: no excuses. But we just

3799
02:43:56,910 --> 02:43:58,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: don't want you to feel na

3800
02:43:58,910 --> 02:44:00,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we're moving

3801
02:44:00,910 --> 02:44:02,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: backwards. Na hindi

3802
02:44:02,910 --> 02:44:04,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: namin binibigyan halaga yung

3803
02:44:04,910 --> 02:44:06,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: CSO. Because you are very important.

3804
02:44:06,910 --> 02:44:08,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Si John Lloyd yan, I appreciate ko.

3805
02:44:08,910 --> 02:44:10,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Twenty years old pa lang. Ang dami mo ng input.

3806
02:44:10,910 --> 02:44:12,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Dami mong data. Hindi ko alam

3807
02:44:12,910 --> 02:44:14,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kung saan yung data na kinuha mo. Kindly share

3808
02:44:14,910 --> 02:44:16,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: it to us. Vice Chair,

3809
02:44:16,910 --> 02:44:18,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pwede bang mag-working student si

3810
02:44:18,910 --> 02:44:20,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: John Lloyd? Gusto mo bang

3811
02:44:20,910 --> 02:44:22,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pwede kitang kuling konsultan?

3812
02:44:22,910 --> 02:44:24,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Ay, unahan na.

3813
02:44:24,910 --> 02:44:26,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: No, but honestly,

3814
02:44:26,910 --> 02:44:28,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: medyo yun lang po

3815
02:44:28,910 --> 02:44:30,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung gusto namin ipaabot po sa inyo.

3816
02:44:30,910 --> 02:44:32,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: We apologize.

3817
02:44:32,910 --> 02:44:34,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: On behalf of CPV,

3818
02:44:34,910 --> 02:44:36,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: RD, and the APRO committee,

3819
02:44:36,910 --> 02:44:38,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we apologize. But

3820
02:44:38,910 --> 02:44:40,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: hindi po talaga sa amin nakarating

3821
02:44:40,910 --> 02:44:42,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung questions. So it's hard naman po

3822
02:44:42,910 --> 02:44:44,910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: magbasa ng questions na hindi po nakarating

3823
02:44:44,910 --> 02:44:45,800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: po sa amin.

3824
02:44:45,800 --> 02:44:46,910
John Castillo: Thank you very much,

3825
02:44:46,910 --> 02:44:48,910
John Castillo: Vice Chair Arnie Fuentebella.

3826
02:44:48,910 --> 02:44:50,910
John Castillo: And we, just

3827
02:44:50,910 --> 02:44:52,910
John Castillo: like that, we have reached our

3828
02:44:52,910 --> 02:44:54,910
John Castillo: final segment of

3829
02:44:54,910 --> 02:44:56,910
John Castillo: today's People's Budget Review.

3830
02:44:56,910 --> 02:44:58,910
John Castillo: But to give his

3831
02:44:58,910 --> 02:45:00,910
John Castillo: closing remarks.

3832
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:06,980
John Castillo: may we call on the Deputy Secretary-General of the Congressional Policy and Budget Research Department,

3833
02:45:08,040 --> 02:45:11,140
John Castillo: Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral.

3834
02:45:11,680 --> 02:45:16,320
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Good afternoon to all of us.

3835
02:45:16,780 --> 02:45:21,940
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: First of all, we would like to express our deepest appreciation and gratitude

3836
02:45:21,940 --> 02:45:28,440
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: to our legislators present here, led by Senior Vice Chair Garcia

3837
02:45:28,440 --> 02:45:33,800
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: and the other vice chairpersons of the Committee on Appropriation,

3838
02:45:33,800 --> 02:45:41,260
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Congresswoman Garcia, Congressman Arrogancia, Congresswoman Lagdameo,

3839
02:45:42,160 --> 02:45:49,660
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Congressman Fuentebella, Congresswoman Bondoc, and Congresswoman Suansing.

3840
02:45:49,860 --> 02:45:50,620
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Thank you so much.

3841
02:45:50,780 --> 02:45:56,440
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: And to all our CSO representatives here present, again, marami pong salamat.

3842
02:45:56,440 --> 02:45:58,440
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: As we conclude...

3843
02:45:58,440 --> 02:46:04,620
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: As we conclude today's People's Budget Review, allow me to begin with a very familiar story.

3844
02:46:05,500 --> 02:46:08,060
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: The story of the blind man and the elephant.

3845
02:46:09,000 --> 02:46:12,800
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Each man touched a different part of the elephant.

3846
02:46:13,580 --> 02:46:18,740
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: One touched the trunk and said the elephant was like a snake.

3847
02:46:19,460 --> 02:46:22,760
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Another touched the leg and said it was like a tree.

3848
02:46:23,300 --> 02:46:27,640
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Another touched the side and said it was like a wall.

3849
02:46:28,440 --> 02:46:36,920
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: It was describing something real, but none, by himself, had the complete picture.

3850
02:46:36,920 --> 02:46:41,720
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: In many ways, this is also true of the national budget.

3851
02:46:41,720 --> 02:46:48,780
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Government agencies see it from the perspective of programs and implementation.

3852
02:46:48,780 --> 02:46:55,620
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Economic managers see it from the perspective of fiscal discipline and national priorities.

3853
02:46:55,620 --> 02:47:01,280
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Congress sees it through its constitutional power of the purse

3854
02:47:01,280 --> 02:47:04,960
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: and its responsibility to represent the people.

3855
02:47:05,880 --> 02:47:09,180
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Researchers examine the numbers and evidence

3856
02:47:09,380 --> 02:47:17,940
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: and CSOs and people's organizations see how government policies and programs are actually

3857
02:47:17,940 --> 02:47:21,200
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: experienced by communities.

3858
02:47:21,200 --> 02:47:28,660
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Each perspective is important, but no single perspective gives us the whole picture.

3859
02:47:28,660 --> 02:47:34,020
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: This is why evidence-based budgeting is so important.

3860
02:47:34,020 --> 02:47:40,440
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: When Congress decides how trillions of pesos of public resources should be allocated, we

3861
02:47:40,440 --> 02:47:44,840
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: should be able to answer some very basic questions.

3862
02:47:44,840 --> 02:47:48,820
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: What problems are we trying to solve?

3863
02:47:48,820 --> 02:47:52,300
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: What has the government already spent on?

3864
02:47:52,300 --> 02:47:54,800
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: What has the spending produced?

3865
02:47:54,800 --> 02:47:57,000
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Is the program working?

3866
02:47:57,000 --> 02:47:58,900
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Who has benefited?

3867
02:47:58,900 --> 02:48:01,460
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: And what should we do differently?

3868
02:48:01,460 --> 02:48:04,000
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Unfortunately, the evidence needed to

3869
02:48:04,000 --> 02:48:11,460
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: answer these questions is often fragmented across agencies and information systems.

3870
02:48:11,460 --> 02:48:17,980
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: We have financial information on how much has been obligated and disbursed, but information

3871
02:48:17,980 --> 02:48:23,740
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: on what government actually delivered and what outcomes those expenditures produced

3872
02:48:23,740 --> 02:48:30,160
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: is not always as readily available, timely, or comparable.

3873
02:48:30,160 --> 02:48:35,000
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: This points to the need for a more systematic approach to evidence gathering

3874
02:48:35,000 --> 02:48:39,100
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: through a unified national monitoring

3875
02:48:39,140 --> 02:48:41,620
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: and evaluation system.

3876
02:48:41,620 --> 02:48:48,380
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Such a system should identify a core set of critical performance indicators that every

3877
02:48:48,380 --> 02:48:54,640
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: government agency is required to regularly report and publish.

3878
02:48:54,640 --> 02:49:01,420
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: These indicators should allow us to follow the entire results chain, from inputs and

3879
02:49:01,420 --> 02:49:05,000
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: expenditures to activities and outputs

3880
02:49:05,000 --> 02:49:09,380
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: and ultimately to outcomes and impacts.

3881
02:49:09,380 --> 02:49:17,380
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: And this information should not remain scattered among individual agencies or buried in periodic

3882
02:49:17,380 --> 02:49:18,860
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: reports.

3883
02:49:18,860 --> 02:49:27,520
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: We need an integrated data system that allows Congress, government decision makers, CSOs,

3884
02:49:27,520 --> 02:49:32,660
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: researchers, and ultimately the public to have real-time or near-real-time

3885
02:49:32,780 --> 02:49:39,780
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: access to financial and performance information, especially given this age of

3886
02:49:39,780 --> 02:49:42,380
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: information technology.

3887
02:49:42,380 --> 02:49:47,560
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Imagine how this change could change budget deliberation.

3888
02:49:47,560 --> 02:49:54,440
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Instead of asking how much did we appropriate or how much was spent, Congress could ask

3889
02:49:54,440 --> 02:49:59,100
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: what did we accomplish and what we spent.

3890
02:49:59,100 --> 02:50:03,340
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: This is the kind of evidence base we need for better budgeting.

3891
02:50:03,340 --> 02:50:08,000
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: But even the best government information system cannot tell us everything.

3892
02:50:08,000 --> 02:50:12,580
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Official indicators tell us what numbers show.

3893
02:50:12,580 --> 02:50:17,980
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Citizens and civil society can help tell us what those numbers mean on the ground.

3894
02:50:17,980 --> 02:50:23,480
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: This is where CSOs and people's organizations become indispensable.

3895
02:50:23,500 --> 02:50:28,400
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: For legislators, civil society provides an important independent source of information

3896
02:50:28,400 --> 02:50:31,000
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: and evidence.

3897
02:50:31,000 --> 02:50:38,020
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: CSOs can tell us whether services actually reach intended beneficiaries, whether a program

3898
02:50:38,020 --> 02:50:45,040
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: that appears successful in an agency report is working in communities, and whether important

3899
02:50:45,040 --> 02:50:47,520
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: needs have been overlooked.

3900
02:50:47,520 --> 02:50:52,420
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: They help Congress see another part of the elephant.

3901
02:50:52,420 --> 02:50:58,400
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: This is why the House of Representatives has taken steps to widen people's participation

3902
02:50:58,400 --> 02:50:59,060
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: in the budget.

3903
02:50:59,060 --> 02:51:08,080
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: We have established mechanisms for CSO accreditation and participation in agency budget hearings,

3904
02:51:08,080 --> 02:51:14,140
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: provided opportunities for the submission of position papers and recommendations, undertaken

3905
02:51:14,140 --> 02:51:21,840
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: budget literacy activities, expanded access to budget information, and created opportunities

3906
02:51:21,840 --> 02:51:29,020
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: such as today's dialogue for civil society to engage directly with legislators.

3907
02:51:29,060 --> 02:51:35,940
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: But we must also recognize that participation remains a work in progress.

3908
02:51:35,940 --> 02:51:43,220
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Are we hearing from a sufficiently broad range of organizations, including those outside

3909
02:51:43,220 --> 02:51:50,520
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Metro Manila and those representing marginalized communities? Do CSOs have the technical capacity

3910
02:51:50,520 --> 02:51:53,940
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: and information needed to participate effectively?

3911
02:51:53,940 --> 02:51:59,060
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Are budget documents provided early enough and in forms that can be readily

3912
02:51:59,060 --> 02:52:01,820
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: analyzed?

3913
02:52:01,820 --> 02:52:07,540
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: And perhaps the most important question is whether participation actually influences

3914
02:52:07,540 --> 02:52:08,540
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: decisions.

3915
02:52:08,540 --> 02:52:17,300
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Moving forward, therefore, I believe we need to pursue two mutually reinforcing reforms.

3916
02:52:17,300 --> 02:52:25,160
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: First, we need a stronger evidence infrastructure, a unified monitoring and evaluation system,

3917
02:52:25,160 --> 02:52:28,360
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: common and critical performance indicators.

3918
02:52:28,360 --> 02:52:35,680
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Interoperable information systems and real-time or near real-time access to financial and

3919
02:52:35,680 --> 02:52:37,320
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: performance data.

3920
02:52:37,320 --> 02:52:45,480
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Second, we need stronger participatory institutions, earlier engagements of CSOs, better access

3921
02:52:45,480 --> 02:52:53,640
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: to information, stronger budget literacy, clearer channels between CSOs and legislators,

3922
02:52:53,640 --> 02:52:59,940
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: and mechanisms for tracking how civil society recommendations are considered in the budget process.

3923
02:53:01,380 --> 02:53:07,320
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Better data without participation can give us numbers without sufficient context.

3924
02:53:08,800 --> 02:53:16,240
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Participation with good data can give us perspectives without sufficient evidence. We need both.

3925
02:53:17,240 --> 02:53:20,700
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: And this brings us back to the blind man and the elephant.

3926
02:53:20,700 --> 02:53:25,480
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: The objective is not merely to bring more people around the elephant.

3927
02:53:26,000 --> 02:53:33,440
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: It is to ensure that it brings evidence from the part that he or she can see.

3928
02:53:34,560 --> 02:53:41,820
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: And that's what we put all of that together to put the evidence into an understandable whole.

3929
02:53:42,340 --> 02:53:48,600
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: That, I believe, is what a truly evidence-based and participatory budget process should accomplish.

3930
02:53:48,940 --> 02:53:53,900
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Thus, on behalf of the Congressional Policy and Budget Research Department,

3931
02:53:53,900 --> 02:54:03,180
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: I thank our members of Congress, our CSOs, PO partners, and everyone who participated in today's dialogue.

3932
02:54:03,800 --> 02:54:08,900
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: May what we heard today find its way into our continuing budget deliberations,

3933
02:54:10,020 --> 02:54:17,700
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: our oversight work, and our efforts to further institutionalize meaningful participation in Congress.

3934
02:54:18,000 --> 02:54:23,880
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Because ultimately, a people's budget should not only be a budget for the people,

3935
02:54:23,900 --> 02:54:36,620
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: it should be a budget informed by evidence, accountable for results, and increasingly shaped with the people. Maraming salamat po at magandang hapon sa ating lahat.

3936
02:54:40,860 --> 02:54:43,300
John Castillo: Thank you very much, Dr. Miral.

3937
02:54:43,300 --> 02:54:45,380
John Castillo: Thank you very much, Dr. Miral.

3938
02:54:45,720 --> 02:54:52,060
John Castillo: So, with that, the People's Budget Review Second Cycle is closed.

3939
02:54:52,320 --> 02:54:55,880
John Castillo: And on behalf of the House of Representatives and the CPBRD,

3940
02:54:55,880 --> 02:55:00,420
John Castillo: we would like to thank you, our civil society partners, our House members,

3941
02:55:00,420 --> 02:55:04,420
John Castillo: and everyone who participated in today's discussion.

3942
02:55:04,420 --> 02:55:07,600
John Castillo: Thank you for bringing your ideas, and thank you for each...
