asr-000001
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.

asr-000002
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.

asr-000003
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.

asr-000004
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,

asr-000005
00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:56.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: strengthens accountability, and enhances surveillance.

asr-000006
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,

asr-000007
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.

asr-000008
00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:22.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: The Philippines has made important strides.

asr-000009
00:01:22.900 --> 00:01:25.900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yet, as the 2025 Open Budgeting,

asr-000010
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.

asr-000011
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.

asr-000012
00:01:51.860 --> 00:01:56.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: That is why I enjoin all CSOs here today,

asr-000013
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.

asr-000014
00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:13.820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: First, agency level, shaping programs and allocations through budget partnership agreements.

asr-000015
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,

asr-000016
00:02:26.100 --> 00:02:27.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budgeting.

asr-000018
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

asr-000019
00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:57.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Budgeting Code.

asr-000020
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Hopefully, madiscuss din po natin ito mamaya.

asr-000021
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.

asr-000022
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

asr-000023
00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:27.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Filipino.

asr-000024
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I would like to add na please bear with the process.

asr-000025
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.

asr-000026
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,

asr-000027
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kauna-unahang beses natin

asr-000028
00:03:50.600 --> 00:03:53.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ginawa last year at

asr-000029
00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:55.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pinagpapatuloy po natin

asr-000030
00:03:55.040 --> 00:03:57.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at mas lalo natin

asr-000031
00:03:57.040 --> 00:03:59.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pinalalalim

asr-000032
00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:01.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nang sa ganon maging

asr-000033
00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:03.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: institutionalized especially

asr-000034
00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:05.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with the new legislation

asr-000035
00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:07.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that support this, that hopefully

asr-000036
00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:09.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I will explain later. Nang sa ganon

asr-000037
00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:11.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: makita talaga natin ang isang

asr-000038
00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:13.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: efficient, transparent, and accountable

asr-000039
00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:15.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budget process

asr-000040
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:17.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that will return better lives

asr-000041
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: for our people and our country.

asr-000042
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.040

asr-000061
00:05:03.640 --> 00:05:08.300

asr-000063
00:05:11.340 --> 00:05:15.980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: inyong mga clarification ay kung hindi man lahat na-address,

asr-000064
00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:22.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pero marami po doon na-address ng ating budget deliberation,

asr-000065
00:05:22.260 --> 00:05:24.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: consideration, and decision-making.

asr-000066
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, first, if you remember, wala po ngayon,

asr-000067
00:05:28.300 --> 00:05:31.880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kasama po natin si Congresswoman Lisa Massa,

asr-000068
00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:34.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Council for People's Development and Governance.

asr-000069
00:05:35.340 --> 00:05:36.900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Ito po yung kanyang mga concerns.

asr-000070
00:05:39.620 --> 00:05:42.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, ayan, mababasa nyo po yung mga concerns.

asr-000071
00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:45.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: No concrete steps to lift people out of poverty.

asr-000072
00:05:45.980 --> 00:05:48.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Address inequality, not enough investment for agriculture.

asr-000073
00:05:49.780 --> 00:05:51.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, sinummarize po natin.

asr-000074
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.

asr-000075
00:05:57.020 --> 00:06:02.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Confidential funds of the OP should be scrutinized.

asr-000076
00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:06.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: People's participation in the budget process is still limited.

asr-000077
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:13.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And increase in the budget of the NTC, ELCAC, is not good.

asr-000078
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Many CSOs are victims.

asr-000079
00:06:15.980 --> 00:06:21.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, relevant agencies, DBM, DA, OP.

asr-000080
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.

asr-000081
00:06:32.260 --> 00:06:35.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Although not direct, centered on poverty alleviation,

asr-000082
00:06:35.580 --> 00:06:40.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the Commission of Appropriations through the Budget Amendment Review Subcommittee,

asr-000083
00:06:40.860 --> 00:06:43.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or yung BARC, as you may be familiar with,

asr-000084
00:06:44.280 --> 00:06:45.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: inamend po natin ito.

asr-000085
00:06:45.620 --> 00:06:47.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And that was live.

asr-000086
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: At gagawin din po natin yan this year.

asr-000087
00:06:51.060 --> 00:06:56.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, inamend po ng BARC and prioritize the education, health, education,

asr-000088
00:06:56.280 --> 00:07:03.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to the tune of 56,637,276,000.

asr-000089
00:07:04.340 --> 00:07:07.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Dinagdag po sa education.

asr-000090
00:07:08.180 --> 00:07:14.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Sa health naman, dinagdagan ng 92,575,023,000.

asr-000091
00:07:14.700 --> 00:07:15.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: At sa agriculture,

asr-000092
00:07:15.620 --> 00:07:20.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kung saan na chair po si Vice Chair Anayork,

asr-000093
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.

asr-000094
00:07:30.980 --> 00:07:33.840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, on investment, on agriculture,

asr-000095
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,

asr-000096
00:07:43.510 --> 00:07:45.170
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: including sa DAR,

asr-000097
00:07:45.170 --> 00:07:47.290
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at nag-alok.

asr-000098
00:07:47.990 --> 00:07:50.330
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Total of 53,000,000,000.

asr-000099
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.

asr-000100
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,

asr-000101
00:08:04.170 --> 00:08:09.450
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: umabot po ng 1.345,000,000.

asr-000102
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.

asr-000103
00:08:17.990 --> 00:08:19.550
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And so on and so forth.

asr-000104
00:08:19.550 --> 00:08:25.790
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, next siguro, para pakita lang natin aside from the first CSOs.

asr-000105
00:08:28.270 --> 00:08:32.150
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Next is si Dr. Kiko Magno ng DLSU,

asr-000106
00:08:32.150 --> 00:08:34.150
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: my almamater by the way.

asr-000107
00:08:35.270 --> 00:08:37.490

00:08:37.590 --> 00:08:40.070
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa concerned sa CHED,

00:08:44.050 --> 00:08:46.130
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and community-based monitoring.

asr-000112
00:08:46.130 --> 00:08:47.830
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, ito naman po, yung naging, you know,

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: response from the

asr-000126
00:09:12.170 --> 00:09:13.930
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Act. And we will

asr-000127
00:09:13.930 --> 00:09:15.350
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: do the same this year.

asr-000128
00:09:16.450 --> 00:09:17.830
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kung hindi po namin

asr-000272
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.

asr-000273
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.

asr-000274
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.

asr-000275
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.

asr-000276
00:16:42.640 --> 00:16:43.880
John Castillo: Don't worry, don't worry.

asr-000277
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.

asr-000278
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.

asr-000279
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.

asr-000280
00:17:12.420 --> 00:17:13.840
John Castillo: This will be considered.

asr-000281
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.

asr-000282
00:17:23.360 --> 00:17:26.700
John Castillo: And we will also want to highlight that there are two distinct parts po.

asr-000283
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.

asr-000284
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.

asr-000285
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.

asr-000286
00:18:00.340 --> 00:18:01.460
John Castillo: So, okay po tayo doon?

asr-000287
00:18:03.650 --> 00:18:04.370
John Castillo: Okay.

asr-000288
00:18:04.990 --> 00:18:06.870
John Castillo: So, we will handle this.

asr-000289
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.

asr-000290
00:18:35.990 --> 00:18:36.670
John Castillo: Agriculture.

asr-000291
00:18:36.890 --> 00:18:37.370
John Castillo: Agriculturist.

asr-000292
00:18:37.590 --> 00:18:38.370
John Castillo: Tama po ba, sir?

asr-000293
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.

asr-000294
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.

asr-000295
00:18:53.250 --> 00:18:59.590
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Kami po sa Philippine Association of Agriculture is ay nandito para po mag-observe.

asr-000296
00:19:03.540 --> 00:19:09.860
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Kami po sa Philippine Association of Agriculture is ay nandito po para tumulong na ma-prioritize po ang agricultural sector.

asr-000297
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:11.860
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Sa 2027 budget.

asr-000298
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.

asr-000299
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.

asr-000300
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,

asr-000301
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.

asr-000303
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.

asr-000304
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.

asr-000305
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.

asr-000306
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.

asr-000307
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.

asr-000308
00:20:07.120 --> 00:20:08.840
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: And other projects na magpapalakas.

asr-000309
00:20:08.840 --> 00:20:10.120
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Sa ngayon po, sa dami.

asr-000310
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.

asr-000311
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.

asr-000312
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.

asr-000313
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.

asr-000314
00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:36.120
John Castillo: Thank you very much, President or Sir.

asr-000315
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:09.970
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: I don't believe na ginawang individual.

asr-000316
00:22:09.970 --> 00:22:11.150
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Yun yung tatapusin niya.

asr-000317
00:22:11.370 --> 00:22:18.110
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: [unclear] million hectares, they target 750,000 hectares next year.

asr-000318
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.

asr-000319
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?

asr-000320
00:22:29.250 --> 00:22:31.790
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: And they said 20,000 hectares only.

asr-000321
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?

asr-000322
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.

asr-000323
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.

asr-000324
00:22:55.410 --> 00:22:56.770
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Kasi 2026 na, diba?

asr-000325
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.

asr-000326
00:23:06.730 --> 00:23:09.170
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Tapos ngayon ang target nila 20,000 lang.

asr-000327
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?

asr-000328
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.

asr-000329
00:23:23.750 --> 00:23:26.790
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Ang tanong namin, bakit di tanatapos?

asr-000330
00:23:27.250 --> 00:23:30.170
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Sino yung nakikinabang sa hindi pagtapos ang land distribution?

asr-000331
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.

asr-000332
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.

asr-000333
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.

asr-000334
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.

asr-000335
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.

asr-000336
00:23:52.450 --> 00:23:54.750
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Ang hinihingi lang ng DAR ay 100 million.

asr-000337
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.

asr-000338
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?

asr-000339
00:24:04.290 --> 00:24:08.290
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Perhaps hot air lang yung sinabi ni Presidente sa SONA.

asr-000340
00:24:08.430 --> 00:24:09.210
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Natatapusin niya.

asr-000341
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.

asr-000342
00:24:21.050 --> 00:24:23.210
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Sinabi nila, they remove problematic land holdings.

asr-000343
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?

asr-000344
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.

asr-000345
00:24:35.050 --> 00:24:36.530
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Kasi hindi siya napunta dun sa budget.

asr-000346
00:24:36.530 --> 00:24:38.530
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So, we wanted to ask, legal ba yung pagpapakita?

asr-000347
00:24:39.210 --> 00:24:39.910
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Ano yung proseso nila?

asr-000348
00:24:40.030 --> 00:24:41.170
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: At ano yung proseso nila?

asr-000349
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?

asr-000350
00:24:45.490 --> 00:24:45.990
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Maraming salamat.

asr-000351
00:24:46.050 --> 00:24:47.530
John Castillo: Thank you very much, Sir Tim.

asr-000352
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?

asr-000353
00:25:01.300 --> 00:25:02.020
John Castillo: Hearing none.

asr-000354
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,

asr-000355
00:25:11.100 --> 00:25:12.460
John Castillo: or insights.

asr-000356
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.

asr-000357
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.

asr-000358
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.

asr-000359
00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:35.480
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, before I address the questions that were asked,

asr-000360
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,

asr-000361
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.

asr-000362
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.

asr-000363
00:25:52.860 --> 00:25:55.520
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And recognize po, lahat po nang tumulong.

asr-000364
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.

asr-000365
00:26:00.320 --> 00:26:03.520
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: But behind him are so many people po.

asr-000366
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,

asr-000367
00:26:09.940 --> 00:26:11.040
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: ay tumulong

asr-000368
00:26:11.100 --> 00:26:15.180
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: po rito sa nangyari pong napakagandang balita na ito.

asr-000369
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.

asr-000370
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.

asr-000371
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?

asr-000372
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.

asr-000373
00:26:37.220 --> 00:26:39.360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, this is the fastest po.

asr-000374
00:26:39.560 --> 00:26:40.980
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: It grew 2.6%.

asr-000375
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.

asr-000376
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.

asr-000377
00:26:54.380 --> 00:26:55.840
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Dati po, pangarap lang.

asr-000378
00:26:56.300 --> 00:26:58.980
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And again, it is still not fully implemented.

asr-000379
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.

asr-000380
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.

asr-000381
00:27:11.100 --> 00:27:12.360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Na nakadagdag po, no?

asr-000382
00:27:12.840 --> 00:27:15.780
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Um, DA mismo got 40 billion increase.

asr-000383
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.

asr-000384
00:27:21.100 --> 00:27:22.900
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Especially po yung farm-to-market roads.

asr-000385
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.

asr-000386
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,

asr-000387
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.

asr-000388
00:27:39.780 --> 00:27:41.060
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Pag sumipa natin,

asr-000389
00:27:41.100 --> 00:27:43.640
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: kaya po yun, in the next 18 months,

asr-000390
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,

asr-000391
00:27:48.760 --> 00:27:50.360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: barring any major disasters.

asr-000392
00:27:50.580 --> 00:27:53.160
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And hopefully, we can recover from this massive flood.

asr-000393
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

asr-000394
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.

asr-000395
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,

asr-000396
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:10.820
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: para po mawala yung mga middlemen.

asr-000397
00:28:10.820 --> 00:28:12.420
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Sa mga kita po ng mga farmers.

asr-000398
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,

asr-000399
00:28:19.360 --> 00:28:20.360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: which is in Pampanga.

asr-000400
00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:22.740
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And this is also very interesting, you know.

asr-000401
00:28:22.740 --> 00:28:26.300
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: We have higher value agricultural exports nowadays.

asr-000402
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,

asr-000403
00:28:31.180 --> 00:28:33.940
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: pero meron na po tayong durian, cacao, avocado,

asr-000404
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

asr-000405
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:40.680
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, ang dami pong magandang balita.

asr-000406
00:28:40.820 --> 00:28:41.720
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Sa agrikultura.

asr-000407
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.

asr-000408
00:28:48.060 --> 00:28:53.440
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Um, the agriculture sector is alive and hopefully booming.

asr-000409
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:57.980

asr-000410
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:00.240
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, to address the specific questions,

asr-000411
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.

asr-000412
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?

asr-000413
00:29:10.380 --> 00:29:12.220
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Or can I submit it na lang po?

asr-000414
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.

asr-000415
00:29:16.660 --> 00:29:20.460
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, um, it's very, it's very local.

asr-000416
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.

asr-000417
00:29:27.220 --> 00:29:28.140
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, ayun po.

asr-000418
00:29:28.220 --> 00:29:30.580
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: We're looking forward to a better rice harvest.

asr-000419
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

asr-000420
00:29:34.520 --> 00:29:39.440
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: because most of Central Luzon, including Nueva Ecija, Pampanga,

asr-000421
00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:40.360
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Tarlac, and Batangas,

asr-000422
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,

asr-000423
00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:46.540
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: also has been affected by the major flood.

asr-000424
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,

asr-000425
00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:54.140
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: how we can avoid flooding sa NLEX.

asr-000426
00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:55.460
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Why is this important?

asr-000427
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.

asr-000428
00:30:00.050 --> 00:30:01.810
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: going to Metro Manila.

asr-000429
00:30:02.370 --> 00:30:04.030
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, improving our

asr-000430
00:30:04.030 --> 00:30:06.150
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: transport and road

asr-000431
00:30:06.150 --> 00:30:08.290
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: network is very, very important

asr-000432
00:30:08.290 --> 00:30:10.470
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: to ensure food security.

asr-000433
00:30:11.170 --> 00:30:12.130
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, I know

asr-000434
00:30:12.130 --> 00:30:13.090
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: that we have been

asr-000435
00:30:13.090 --> 00:30:16.170
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: late in rolling

asr-000436
00:30:16.170 --> 00:30:17.870
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: out the farm-to-market roads

asr-000437
00:30:17.870 --> 00:30:20.330
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: and the major infrastructures, including

asr-000438
00:30:20.330 --> 00:30:21.910
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: deep ports and

asr-000439
00:30:21.910 --> 00:30:24.170
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: NFA warehouses. But we look

asr-000440
00:30:24.170 --> 00:30:25.590
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: forward to more growth

asr-000441
00:30:25.590 --> 00:30:28.090
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: in the next, last

asr-000442
00:30:28.090 --> 00:30:29.530
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: quarter of the year as we

asr-000443
00:30:29.530 --> 00:30:31.830
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: as the weather improves and we

asr-000444
00:30:31.830 --> 00:30:33.410
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: continue to

asr-000445
00:30:33.410 --> 00:30:35.750
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: build infrastructures

asr-000446
00:30:35.750 --> 00:30:37.550
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: necessary to support agriculture.

asr-000447
00:30:38.130 --> 00:30:39.830
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: There was a question regarding

asr-000448
00:30:39.830 --> 00:30:41.250
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the DAR

asr-000449
00:30:41.250 --> 00:30:43.950
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: and the land targets.

asr-000450
00:30:43.950 --> 00:30:45.950
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Unfortunately, our vice chair is not

asr-000451
00:30:45.950 --> 00:30:48.030
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: here and they have given

asr-000452
00:30:48.030 --> 00:30:48.890
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: me their

asr-000453
00:30:48.890 --> 00:30:52.150
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: response, the response

asr-000454
00:30:52.150 --> 00:30:53.970
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: of the committee. And I am

asr-000455
00:30:53.970 --> 00:30:55.930
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: sad to let you know that the

asr-000456
00:30:55.930 --> 00:30:57.970
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: land budget, what is the reason for

asr-000457
00:30:57.970 --> 00:30:59.490
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: poor land acquisition?

asr-000458
00:30:59.530 --> 00:31:01.470
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: There's only one reason, which is

asr-000459
00:31:01.470 --> 00:31:03.470
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the perennial reason, kulang sa

asr-000460
00:31:03.470 --> 00:31:05.310
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: budget. And

asr-000461
00:31:05.310 --> 00:31:07.450
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: bakit kulang sa budget?

asr-000462
00:31:07.870 --> 00:31:09.070
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Nilagay po dito that

asr-000463
00:31:09.070 --> 00:31:11.150
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Undersecretary Celeste explained

asr-000464
00:31:11.150 --> 00:31:13.670
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: that the 100 million that they were requesting

asr-000465
00:31:13.670 --> 00:31:15.650
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: was constrained by the strict

asr-000466
00:31:15.650 --> 00:31:17.510
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: budget ceiling set up by

asr-000467
00:31:17.510 --> 00:31:19.710
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the DBM. So, siguro po

asr-000468
00:31:19.710 --> 00:31:21.690
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: you may have a conversation po

asr-000469
00:31:21.690 --> 00:31:23.030
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: with the DBM

asr-000470
00:31:23.030 --> 00:31:25.570
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: and the DAR so that they may work

asr-000471
00:31:25.570 --> 00:31:27.470
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: out some

asr-000472
00:31:27.470 --> 00:31:28.970
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: modifications to this.

asr-000473
00:31:29.530 --> 00:31:30.870
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Again, to say that our

asr-000474
00:31:30.870 --> 00:31:33.190
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: administration is not serious about

asr-000475
00:31:33.190 --> 00:31:35.170
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the DAR, I think

asr-000476
00:31:35.170 --> 00:31:36.750
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: is a gross understatement

asr-000477
00:31:36.750 --> 00:31:38.630
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: because this is the first time

asr-000478
00:31:38.630 --> 00:31:41.370
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: that ever in history

asr-000479
00:31:41.370 --> 00:31:43.190
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: na na-wipe out po yung utang na mga

asr-000480
00:31:43.190 --> 00:31:45.330
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: farmers, which is really

asr-000481
00:31:45.330 --> 00:31:46.990
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: if you ask me, yun ang

asr-000482
00:31:46.990 --> 00:31:49.330
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: signature achievement po ni President

asr-000483
00:31:49.330 --> 00:31:51.150
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: BBM and which

asr-000484
00:31:51.150 --> 00:31:53.090
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: will really impact upon each

asr-000485
00:31:53.090 --> 00:31:54.450
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: individual farmer.

asr-000486
00:31:56.230 --> 00:31:57.210
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, I

asr-000487
00:31:57.210 --> 00:31:57.870
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: think that

asr-000488
00:31:57.870 --> 00:31:59.510
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: that alone,

asr-000489
00:31:59.530 --> 00:32:01.350
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: that alone shows the sincerity and dedication.

asr-000490
00:32:01.530 --> 00:32:03.150
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: But again, tama naman ho kayo.

asr-000491
00:32:03.230 --> 00:32:05.670
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: We cannot stop there. Kailangan tuloy-tuloy

asr-000492
00:32:05.670 --> 00:32:06.930
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: pa rin po yung mga gains.

asr-000493
00:32:07.390 --> 00:32:09.230
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So, I would like to submit this also

asr-000494
00:32:09.230 --> 00:32:11.530
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: for a further inspection because

asr-000495
00:32:11.530 --> 00:32:13.210
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: I am not the Vice Chair of DAR

asr-000496
00:32:13.210 --> 00:32:15.450
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: but I will do my best to share

asr-000497
00:32:15.450 --> 00:32:16.990
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: with you what they have given me.

asr-000498
00:32:17.570 --> 00:32:19.250
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: And of course, you're always welcome

asr-000499
00:32:19.250 --> 00:32:21.510
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: to bring this up later on, including

asr-000500
00:32:21.510 --> 00:32:23.650
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: in the plenary. So, maraming

asr-000501
00:32:23.650 --> 00:32:25.610
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: salamat po. And mabuhay

asr-000502
00:32:25.610 --> 00:32:27.250
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: po ang agrikultura po.

asr-000503
00:32:27.250 --> 00:32:29.110
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Ang sektor ng agrikultura.

asr-000504
00:32:29.530 --> 00:32:31.350
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Dito po sa bayan natin.

asr-000505
00:32:32.770 --> 00:32:33.490
John Castillo: Thank you,

asr-000506
00:32:33.630 --> 00:32:34.890
John Castillo: Congresswoman Bondoc.

00:32:35.430 --> 00:32:36.970
John Castillo: We will now proceed.

asr-000508
00:32:38.710 --> 00:32:39.030
John Castillo: Wow.

asr-000509
00:32:39.510 --> 00:32:41.490
John Castillo: Sige ma'am, if it's alright. We will submit it

asr-000510
00:32:41.490 --> 00:32:43.490
John Castillo: to the task force for consolidation

asr-000511
00:32:43.490 --> 00:32:45.890
John Castillo: and for documentation.

asr-000512
00:32:46.430 --> 00:32:47.750
John Castillo: Thanks again, Congresswoman

00:32:47.750 --> 00:32:49.230

00:32:49.510 --> 00:32:50.870
John Castillo: we proceed with

asr-000515
00:32:50.870 --> 00:32:52.530
John Castillo: hearing from the

asr-000516
00:32:52.530 --> 00:32:55.290
John Castillo: Code NGO.

asr-000517
00:33:02.140 --> 00:33:03.580
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: Magandang umaga po

asr-000518
00:33:03.580 --> 00:33:05.140
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: sa lahat. We think that

asr-000519
00:33:05.380 --> 00:33:07.280
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the House of Representatives and

asr-000520
00:33:07.280 --> 00:33:09.640
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the CPBRD for providing

asr-000521
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:11.180
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the CSOs today

asr-000522
00:33:11.180 --> 00:33:12.920
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: with this platform.

asr-000523
00:33:13.760 --> 00:33:15.360
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: For a Code NGO, a budget

asr-000524
00:33:15.360 --> 00:33:17.320
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: can genuinely be called

asr-000525
00:33:17.320 --> 00:33:19.440
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: a people's budget only if it passes

asr-000526
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:21.340
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: three tests. First,

asr-000527
00:33:21.560 --> 00:33:23.600
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: does it respond to people's actual

asr-000528
00:33:23.600 --> 00:33:24.960
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: needs? Second,

asr-000529
00:33:25.340 --> 00:33:27.540
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: can citizens trace where every peso

asr-000530
00:33:27.540 --> 00:33:29.100
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: goes and what it delivers?

asr-000531
00:33:29.780 --> 00:33:31.360
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: Third, can citizens

asr-000532
00:33:31.360 --> 00:33:32.940
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: meaningfully participate

asr-000533
00:33:32.940 --> 00:33:34.960
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: not only in consultation,

asr-000534
00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:37.040
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: but also in decision-making,

asr-000535
00:33:37.620 --> 00:33:39.380
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: implementation, monitoring,

asr-000536
00:33:39.560 --> 00:33:41.120
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: and audit? For today,

asr-000537
00:33:41.560 --> 00:33:43.400
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: due to limited time, we would like

asr-000538
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:45.800
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: to focus on two major items

asr-000539
00:33:45.800 --> 00:33:47.600
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: in the proposed

asr-000540
00:33:47.600 --> 00:33:49.020
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: appropriations.

asr-000541
00:33:50.300 --> 00:33:50.660
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: We

asr-000542
00:33:50.660 --> 00:33:53.240
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: request the

asr-000543
00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:55.120
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: Congress to have a stronger

asr-000544
00:33:55.120 --> 00:33:57.420
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: safeguards needed for large

asr-000545
00:33:57.420 --> 00:33:59.240
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: discretionary and special

asr-000546
00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:01.500
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: purpose funds. The proposed

asr-000547
00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:03.380
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: local government support fund

asr-000548
00:34:03.380 --> 00:34:05.240
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: amounts to 53.53

asr-000549
00:34:05.380 --> 00:34:06.980
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: billion.

asr-000550
00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:08.420
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: The proposed

asr-000551
00:34:08.420 --> 00:34:10.980
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: of this, 37.49

asr-000552
00:34:11.780 --> 00:34:12.840
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: billion is for

asr-000553
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:14.920
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: financial assistance to

asr-000554
00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:16.680
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: LGUs under allocation

asr-000555
00:34:16.680 --> 00:34:18.820
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: criteria that are still

asr-000556
00:34:18.820 --> 00:34:20.620
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: to be developed. Meanwhile,

asr-000557
00:34:21.120 --> 00:34:22.520
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: only 1 billion

asr-000558
00:34:22.520 --> 00:34:25.260
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: or about 1.7%

asr-000559
00:34:25.260 --> 00:34:26.660
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: of the entire

asr-000560
00:34:26.660 --> 00:34:28.920
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: LGSF is expressly

asr-000561
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:30.740
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: subject to participatory

asr-000562
00:34:30.740 --> 00:34:32.580
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: budgeting requirements.

asr-000563
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:34.660
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: We therefore respectfully

asr-000564
00:34:34.660 --> 00:34:36.580
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: propose that objective

asr-000565
00:34:36.580 --> 00:34:38.600
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: needs-based criteria,

asr-000566
00:34:39.200 --> 00:34:40.720
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: project-level disclosure,

asr-000567
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:43.260
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: documented community

asr-000568
00:34:43.260 --> 00:34:44.940
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: consultation, and

asr-000569
00:34:44.940 --> 00:34:46.980
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: independent citizen monitoring

asr-000570
00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:49.360
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: apply across the entire

asr-000571
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:51.260
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: LGSF and

asr-000572
00:34:51.260 --> 00:34:53.260
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: not the meager 1.7%.

asr-000573
00:34:54.200 --> 00:34:55.400
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: We

asr-000574
00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:56.880
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: also like to

asr-000575
00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:59.100
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: propose that a certain

asr-000576
00:34:59.100 --> 00:35:01.400
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: portion of the LGSF

asr-000577
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:03.520
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: be used by the LGUs

asr-000578
00:35:03.520 --> 00:35:04.260
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: to capacitate

asr-000579
00:35:04.660 --> 00:35:06.600
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the local CSOs.

asr-000580
00:35:06.600 --> 00:35:08.780
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: CSOs are given a lot

asr-000581
00:35:08.780 --> 00:35:09.900
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: of responsibilities

asr-000582
00:35:09.900 --> 00:35:12.600
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: doing third-party monitoring

asr-000583
00:35:12.600 --> 00:35:14.700
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: but we do not have the budget

asr-000584
00:35:14.700 --> 00:35:16.660
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: necessary to capacitate

asr-000585
00:35:16.660 --> 00:35:18.120
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: all the local

asr-000586
00:35:18.120 --> 00:35:21.220
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: CSOs that supposedly

asr-000587
00:35:21.220 --> 00:35:22.720
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: would have to monitor

asr-000588
00:35:22.720 --> 00:35:24.780
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: these discretionary funds.

asr-000589
00:35:25.140 --> 00:35:26.720
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: So we respectfully appeal

asr-000590
00:35:26.720 --> 00:35:28.840
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: to the House of Representatives

asr-000591
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:31.320
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: to also fund

asr-000592
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:32.760
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: so that

asr-000593
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:34.240
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the CSOs,

asr-000594
00:35:34.660 --> 00:35:36.980
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: will not be incompetent

asr-000595
00:35:36.980 --> 00:35:38.680
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: because they always say

asr-000596
00:35:38.680 --> 00:35:40.240
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: that they will not engage

asr-000597
00:35:40.240 --> 00:35:42.680
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the local CSOs at the bottom

asr-000598
00:35:42.680 --> 00:35:45.020
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: because they do not understand

asr-000599
00:35:45.020 --> 00:35:45.780
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the budget.

asr-000600
00:35:46.420 --> 00:35:48.740
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: But then what are we doing?

asr-000601
00:35:49.260 --> 00:35:50.820
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: It is not because

asr-000602
00:35:50.820 --> 00:35:52.960
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: we are a people's organization,

asr-000603
00:35:53.200 --> 00:35:53.780
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: CSOs.

asr-000604
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:56.760
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: It does not mean that we are not

asr-000605
00:35:56.760 --> 00:35:58.540
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: entitled to the

asr-000606
00:35:58.540 --> 00:36:00.500
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: people's budget so that we

asr-000607
00:36:00.500 --> 00:36:02.280
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: will also be capacitated

asr-000608
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:04.640
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: so that we can do our jobs well.

asr-000609
00:36:04.660 --> 00:36:07.300
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: Another point is

asr-000610
00:36:07.300 --> 00:36:08.900
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: the NTF-ELCAC

asr-000611
00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:09.980
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: Barangay Program.

asr-000612
00:36:11.200 --> 00:36:12.980
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: We note that in the proposed

asr-000613
00:36:12.980 --> 00:36:13.580
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: budget,

asr-000614
00:36:14.060 --> 00:36:16.520
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: 9.74 billion

asr-000615
00:36:16.520 --> 00:36:18.680
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: support to Barangay Development

asr-000616
00:36:18.680 --> 00:36:20.320
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: Program likewise

asr-000617
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:23.100
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: require independent review

asr-000618
00:36:23.100 --> 00:36:25.040
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: of the basis for selecting

asr-000619
00:36:25.040 --> 00:36:26.660
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: this 1,948

asr-000620
00:36:27.380 --> 00:36:28.220
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: barangays

asr-000621
00:36:28.220 --> 00:36:30.560
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: and a uniform allocation of

asr-000622
00:36:30.560 --> 00:36:32.680
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: 5 million per barangay.

asr-000623
00:36:32.680 --> 00:36:33.610
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: We

asr-000623-split-2
00:36:33.610 --> 00:36:35.970
John Castillo: kindly wrap up lang po, sorry.

asr-000624
00:36:35.970 --> 00:36:37.280
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: We respectfully request

asr-000627
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:42.600

asr-000628
00:36:42.600 --> 00:36:44.860
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: NTF-ELCAC Barangay Program

asr-000629
00:36:44.860 --> 00:36:46.560
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: independent evaluation

asr-000630
00:36:46.560 --> 00:36:48.580
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: and safeguards against

asr-000631
00:36:48.580 --> 00:36:51.120
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: political influence, red tagging

asr-000632
00:36:51.120 --> 00:36:52.100
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: or exclusion.

asr-000633
00:36:52.740 --> 00:36:53.780
CODE-NGO Executive Director Atty. Doris Ramirez: Maraming salamat po.

asr-000634

asr-000647
00:37:28.900 --> 00:37:30.700
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: We understand that budget hearings are

asr-000648
00:37:30.700 --> 00:37:32.720
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: already ongoing so despite your

asr-000649
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.

asr-000650
00:37:35.640 --> 00:37:37.160
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: We are very appreciative

asr-000651
00:37:37.160 --> 00:37:39.320
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: to the CPBRD, the Task Force

asr-000652
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:40.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: on People's Participation for

asr-000653
00:37:40.680 --> 00:37:42.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: really hearing our voices.

asr-000654
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

asr-000655
00:37:44.680 --> 00:37:46.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: maybe two or three big issues.

asr-000656
00:37:46.680 --> 00:37:48.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Number one, we do understand

asr-000657
00:37:48.680 --> 00:37:50.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that, this was already mentioned,

asr-000658
00:37:50.680 --> 00:37:52.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the fiscal space of the budget is

asr-000659
00:37:52.680 --> 00:37:54.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: shrinking. We know that

asr-000660
00:37:54.680 --> 00:37:56.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: even before Congress gets to deliberate,

asr-000661
00:37:56.680 --> 00:37:58.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: there are many automatic appropriations

asr-000662
00:37:58.680 --> 00:38:00.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that already cut into the budget.

asr-000663
00:38:00.680 --> 00:38:02.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So 7.2 trillion, not all of

asr-000664
00:38:02.680 --> 00:38:04.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that is available for Congress

asr-000665
00:38:04.680 --> 00:38:06.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: to legislate, right?

asr-000666
00:38:06.680 --> 00:38:08.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: For every 100 pesos

asr-000667
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.

asr-000668
00:38:10.680 --> 00:38:12.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Yung kayang i-legislate ng Congress.

asr-000669
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

asr-000670
00:38:14.680 --> 00:38:16.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: with that. So we hope that

asr-000671
00:38:16.680 --> 00:38:18.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: we can consider things that will

asr-000672
00:38:18.680 --> 00:38:20.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: address that shrinking fiscal space,

asr-000673
00:38:20.680 --> 00:38:22.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the national tax allotment, the debt interest

asr-000674
00:38:22.680 --> 00:38:24.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: payments, the automatic appropriations

asr-000675
00:38:24.680 --> 00:38:26.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: to military and uniform personnel. Lahat po

asr-000676
00:38:26.680 --> 00:38:28.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: ng iyon are macro-fiscal

asr-000677
00:38:28.680 --> 00:38:30.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: things that perhaps Congress can address

asr-000678
00:38:30.680 --> 00:38:32.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: later on.

asr-000679
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

asr-000680
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

asr-000681
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

asr-000682
00:38:38.680 --> 00:38:40.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the issues that the people are facing.

asr-000683
00:38:40.680 --> 00:38:42.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: I think the 2026 budget

asr-000684
00:38:42.680 --> 00:38:44.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: was passed before the

asr-000685
00:38:44.680 --> 00:38:46.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: fuel crisis came about.

asr-000686
00:38:46.680 --> 00:38:48.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: And so it was not necessarily responsive

asr-000687
00:38:48.680 --> 00:38:50.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: to that crisis. So we're facing

asr-000688
00:38:50.680 --> 00:38:52.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: affordability crisis in food.

asr-000689
00:38:52.680 --> 00:38:54.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Inflation for food is almost

asr-000690
00:38:54.680 --> 00:38:56.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: 20% po. Inflation

asr-000691
00:38:56.680 --> 00:38:58.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: for fuel, inflation

asr-000692
00:38:58.680 --> 00:39:00.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: for electricity, lahat po ng

asr-000693
00:39:00.680 --> 00:39:02.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: pagtataas po ng presyo are

asr-000694
00:39:02.680 --> 00:39:04.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: things that our people are

asr-000695
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

asr-000696
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.

asr-000697
00:39:08.680 --> 00:39:10.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Programs, activities, and

asr-000698
00:39:10.680 --> 00:39:12.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: projects that will address really the

asr-000699
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

asr-000700
00:39:14.680 --> 00:39:16.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: despite the limited fiscal space.

asr-000701
00:39:16.680 --> 00:39:18.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: And so we would

asr-000702
00:39:18.680 --> 00:39:20.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: also like to flag that despite the

asr-000703
00:39:20.680 --> 00:39:22.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: 6% increase in the budget, we are

asr-000704
00:39:22.680 --> 00:39:24.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: noticing that there are, it's

asr-000705
00:39:24.680 --> 00:39:26.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: not an even increase. There are budget

asr-000706
00:39:26.680 --> 00:39:28.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: decreases for DepEd, for CHED,

asr-000707
00:39:28.680 --> 00:39:30.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: for TESDA, for DOH, for

asr-000708
00:39:30.680 --> 00:39:32.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: PhilHealth, for DA. So all of these

asr-000709
00:39:32.680 --> 00:39:34.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: core agencies, nabawasan po yung budget

asr-000710
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

asr-000711
00:39:36.680 --> 00:39:38.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: something that Congress,

asr-000712
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

asr-000713
00:39:40.680 --> 00:39:42.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: proposal po ng National Expenditure Program.

asr-000714
00:39:42.680 --> 00:39:44.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: I think the last

asr-000715
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

asr-000716
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.

asr-000717
00:39:48.680 --> 00:39:50.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: We've been very vigilant in monitoring

asr-000718
00:39:50.680 --> 00:39:52.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the budget. We recognize

asr-000719
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.

asr-000720
00:39:54.680 --> 00:39:56.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: For example, infrastructure is very important.

asr-000721
00:39:56.680 --> 00:39:58.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Flood control is very important.

asr-000722
00:39:58.680 --> 00:40:00.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Pagpapagawa ng mga daan,

asr-000723
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.

asr-000724
00:40:02.680 --> 00:40:04.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: What we did notice though is

asr-000725
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

asr-000726
00:40:06.680 --> 00:40:08.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: politicize these line items.

asr-000727
00:40:08.680 --> 00:40:10.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So we do hope Congress can

asr-000728
00:40:10.680 --> 00:40:12.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: enact some safeguard measures.

asr-000729
00:40:12.680 --> 00:40:14.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Make sure that any

asr-000730
00:40:14.680 --> 00:40:16.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: amendments or any proposals to add

asr-000731
00:40:16.680 --> 00:40:18.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: infrastructure projects will be supported by

asr-000732
00:40:18.680 --> 00:40:20.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: master plans, by programs

asr-000733
00:40:20.680 --> 00:40:22.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: of works that will be transparent

asr-000734
00:40:22.680 --> 00:40:24.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: and accessible to the public. So that

asr-000735
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

asr-000736
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

asr-000737
00:40:28.680 --> 00:40:30.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: but on development plans. The second

asr-000738
00:40:30.680 --> 00:40:32.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: is yung mga ayuda programs.

asr-000739
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

asr-000740
00:40:34.680 --> 00:40:36.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: this. We hope that, for example,

asr-000741
00:40:36.680 --> 00:40:38.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: MAIFIP, AICS, TUPAD,

asr-000742
00:40:38.680 --> 00:40:40.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: these are not things that will drive

asr-000743
00:40:40.680 --> 00:40:42.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: patronage politics.

asr-000744
00:40:42.680 --> 00:40:44.680
John Castillo: Kindly wrap up.

asr-000745
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,

asr-000746
00:40:46.680 --> 00:40:48.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: rights-based social

asr-000747
00:40:48.680 --> 00:40:50.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: protection where the citizens can feel

asr-000748
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

asr-000749
00:40:52.680 --> 00:40:54.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: than having to beg from politicians.

asr-000750
00:40:54.680 --> 00:40:56.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: And then the third is yung local

asr-000751
00:40:56.680 --> 00:40:58.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: government support fund.

asr-000752
00:40:58.680 --> 00:41:00.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: I think the main criticism has been

asr-000753
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

asr-000754
00:41:02.680 --> 00:41:04.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: local government support fund. The fear that

asr-000755
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

asr-000756
00:41:06.680 --> 00:41:08.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: an advanced election budget already.

asr-000757
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,

asr-000758
00:41:10.680 --> 00:41:12.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that with all the corruption

asr-000759
00:41:12.680 --> 00:41:14.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: scandals that have plagued our budget,

asr-000760
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

asr-000761
00:41:16.680 --> 00:41:18.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: budget, but that Congress can correct

asr-000762
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

asr-000763
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

asr-000764
00:41:22.680 --> 00:41:23.660
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: of the people in our institutions.

asr-000765
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:25.220
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Yun lamang po. Maraming salamat.

asr-000766
00:41:25.620 --> 00:41:28.680
John Castillo: Thank you very much for that thorough

asr-000767
00:41:28.680 --> 00:41:30.680
John Castillo: inputs or assessments.

asr-000768
00:41:30.680 --> 00:41:32.680
John Castillo: As we continue

asr-000769
00:41:32.680 --> 00:41:34.680
John Castillo: to examine the 2027

asr-000770
00:41:34.680 --> 00:41:36.680
John Castillo: national budget from

asr-000771
00:41:36.680 --> 00:41:38.680
John Castillo: the standpoint of

asr-000772
00:41:38.680 --> 00:41:40.680
John Castillo: economic policies,

asr-000773
00:41:40.680 --> 00:41:42.680
John Castillo: we may now call

asr-000774
00:41:42.680 --> 00:41:44.680
John Castillo: the representative from the Makati

asr-000775
00:41:44.680 --> 00:41:46.680
John Castillo: Business Club.

asr-000776
00:41:46.680 --> 00:41:48.680
John Castillo: Ms. Eunice Tanilon.

asr-000777
00:41:48.680 --> 00:41:51.810
John Castillo: Thank you.

asr-000778
00:41:52.090 --> 00:41:54.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: Hello. Good morning.

asr-000779
00:41:54.090 --> 00:41:56.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: Abbot Garcia and of course the panel.

asr-000780
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

asr-000781
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

asr-000782
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

asr-000783
00:42:02.090 --> 00:42:04.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: a dialogue on the budget.

asr-000784
00:42:04.090 --> 00:42:06.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: So once again, I'm Eunice Tanilon.

asr-000785
00:42:06.090 --> 00:42:08.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: I'm the governance and sustainability lead

asr-000786
00:42:08.090 --> 00:42:10.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: of Makati Business Club. Just for the

asr-000787
00:42:10.090 --> 00:42:12.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: reference of the room, MBC is

asr-000788
00:42:12.090 --> 00:42:14.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: an industry association of 400

asr-000789
00:42:14.090 --> 00:42:16.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: of the largest companies in the

asr-000790
00:42:16.090 --> 00:42:18.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: country. Our membership base is mostly

asr-000791
00:42:18.090 --> 00:42:20.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: CEOs.

asr-000792
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,

asr-000793
00:42:22.090 --> 00:42:24.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: Julia Abad, and of course our trustees.

asr-000794
00:42:24.090 --> 00:42:26.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: To clarify,

asr-000795
00:42:26.090 --> 00:42:28.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: business's voice here in the budget,

asr-000796
00:42:28.090 --> 00:42:30.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: we're not asking for a bigger

asr-000797
00:42:30.090 --> 00:42:32.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: share of anything. Business

asr-000798
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.

asr-000799
00:42:34.090 --> 00:42:36.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: Power, roads, ports,

asr-000800
00:42:36.090 --> 00:42:38.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: skills, and a

asr-000801
00:42:38.090 --> 00:42:40.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: working regulatory front desk.

asr-000802
00:42:40.090 --> 00:42:42.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: We believe that governance is an

asr-000803
00:42:42.090 --> 00:42:44.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: economic issue for us.

asr-000804
00:42:44.090 --> 00:42:46.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: I think for some comments on

asr-000805
00:42:46.090 --> 00:42:48.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: the economy, so

asr-000806
00:42:48.090 --> 00:42:50.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: 2.6%

asr-000807
00:42:50.090 --> 00:42:52.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: in the first half, the weakest outside

asr-000808
00:42:52.090 --> 00:42:54.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: the pandemic since 2009.

asr-000809
00:42:54.090 --> 00:42:56.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: The DBCC has already

asr-000810
00:42:56.090 --> 00:42:58.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: lowered its target once and

asr-000811
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

asr-000812
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%

asr-000813
00:43:02.090 --> 00:43:04.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: just to reach the bottom

asr-000814
00:43:04.090 --> 00:43:06.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: of that range. Debt now

asr-000815
00:43:06.090 --> 00:43:08.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: stands at 66%

asr-000816
00:43:08.090 --> 00:43:10.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: of GDP. The government's own

asr-000817
00:43:10.090 --> 00:43:12.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: fiscal program set it at 56.6%.

asr-000818
00:43:12.090 --> 00:43:14.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: That's nearly 10 points

asr-000819
00:43:14.090 --> 00:43:16.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: higher than initially planned.

asr-000820
00:43:16.090 --> 00:43:18.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: And every point is money

asr-000821
00:43:18.090 --> 00:43:20.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: that goes to interest instead of

asr-000822
00:43:20.090 --> 00:43:22.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: roads, classrooms,

asr-000823
00:43:22.090 --> 00:43:24.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: or hospitals. The deficit

asr-000824
00:43:24.090 --> 00:43:26.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: is at 5.5% of GDP

asr-000825
00:43:26.090 --> 00:43:28.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: against a target of 3.5, which

asr-000826
00:43:28.090 --> 00:43:30.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: means we are borrowing more

asr-000827
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

asr-000828
00:43:32.090 --> 00:43:34.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: budget that might be delivering

asr-000829
00:43:34.090 --> 00:43:36.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: less than it promised. So

asr-000830
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

asr-000831
00:43:38.090 --> 00:43:40.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: with these moving

asr-000832
00:43:40.090 --> 00:43:42.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: targets if we're asking Congress

asr-000833
00:43:42.090 --> 00:43:44.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: to be able to assess

asr-000834
00:43:44.090 --> 00:43:46.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: given the, in light of the

asr-000835
00:43:46.090 --> 00:43:48.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: new, with the performance of our

asr-000836
00:43:48.090 --> 00:43:50.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: economy right now.

asr-000837
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.

asr-000838
00:43:52.090 --> 00:43:54.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: Public spending is an engine of this

asr-000839
00:43:54.090 --> 00:43:56.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: economy and when it stalls, business

asr-000840
00:43:56.090 --> 00:43:58.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: stalls with it.

asr-000841
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

asr-000842
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

asr-000843
00:44:02.090 --> 00:44:04.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: and hold our economic

asr-000844
00:44:04.090 --> 00:44:06.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: managers to the numbers that

asr-000845
00:44:06.090 --> 00:44:08.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: they set. One process,

asr-000846
00:44:08.090 --> 00:44:10.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: we really hope for transparency

asr-000847
00:44:10.090 --> 00:44:12.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: before the money moves,

asr-000848
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

asr-000849
00:44:14.090 --> 00:44:16.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: able to see published criteria,

asr-000850
00:44:16.090 --> 00:44:18.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: beneficiary lists,

asr-000851
00:44:18.090 --> 00:44:20.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: and scores before

asr-000852
00:44:20.090 --> 00:44:22.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: release. Especially at the project level,

asr-000853
00:44:22.090 --> 00:44:24.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: this is very important for

asr-000854
00:44:24.090 --> 00:44:26.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: businesses, especially for assessing

asr-000855
00:44:26.090 --> 00:44:28.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: execution risk and

asr-000856
00:44:28.090 --> 00:44:30.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: execution planning.

asr-000857
00:44:30.090 --> 00:44:32.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: We also want

asr-000858
00:44:32.090 --> 00:44:34.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: to call to pass FOI into law

asr-000859
00:44:34.090 --> 00:44:36.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: as part of the broad

asr-000860
00:44:36.090 --> 00:44:38.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: process transparency

asr-000861
00:44:38.090 --> 00:44:40.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: reforms. So MBC

asr-000862
00:44:40.090 --> 00:44:42.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: stands ready to convene the private sector

asr-000863
00:44:42.090 --> 00:44:44.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: and be a partner with government

asr-000864
00:44:44.090 --> 00:44:46.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: for progress as the leading private

asr-000865
00:44:46.090 --> 00:44:48.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: sector voice across broad coalitions.

asr-000866
00:44:48.090 --> 00:44:50.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: We are guided by our core

asr-000867
00:44:50.090 --> 00:44:52.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: belief that better governance creates a

asr-000868
00:44:52.090 --> 00:44:54.090
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: better environment for business. Thank you.

asr-000869
00:44:54.090 --> 00:44:56.090
John Castillo: Thank you for your

asr-000870
00:44:56.090 --> 00:44:58.090
John Castillo: inputs from the Makati Business

asr-000871
00:44:58.090 --> 00:44:59.860
John Castillo: Club. There have been

asr-000872
00:44:59.860 --> 00:45:01.980
John Castillo: issues raised on

asr-000873
00:45:01.980 --> 00:45:04.360
John Castillo: LGSF, the tests

asr-000874
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:06.080
John Castillo: for meaningful participation

asr-000875
00:45:06.080 --> 00:45:08.460
John Castillo: already for the NTF-ELCAC

asr-000876
00:45:08.460 --> 00:45:10.140
John Castillo: budget. The PBC

asr-000877
00:45:10.140 --> 00:45:11.980
John Castillo: also raised about the issues on

asr-000878
00:45:11.980 --> 00:45:13.940
John Castillo: NTA, debt interest services,

asr-000879
00:45:14.240 --> 00:45:16.260
John Castillo: and of course the people-centered budget.

asr-000880
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:18.500
John Castillo: Yun yung mga common trend na nakikita natin.

asr-000881
00:45:18.860 --> 00:45:20.600
John Castillo: And the 6% budget

asr-000882
00:45:20.600 --> 00:45:21.940
John Castillo: which is not

asr-000883
00:45:21.940 --> 00:45:23.740
John Castillo: tantamount

asr-000884
00:45:23.740 --> 00:45:26.380
John Castillo: to the decreases and increases

asr-000885
00:45:26.380 --> 00:45:27.880
John Castillo: in some other agencies.

asr-000886
00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:30.060
John Castillo: Of course, the importance

asr-000887
00:45:30.060 --> 00:45:31.220
John Castillo: of infrastructure

asr-000888
00:45:31.220 --> 00:45:33.700
John Castillo: and rules-based

asr-000889
00:45:33.700 --> 00:45:35.820
John Castillo: budgeting which should not

asr-000890
00:45:35.820 --> 00:45:37.440
John Castillo: be a business as usual

asr-000891
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:39.560
John Castillo: should reflect

asr-000892
00:45:39.560 --> 00:45:41.540
John Castillo: the crisis.

asr-000893
00:45:42.860 --> 00:45:43.720
John Castillo: And of course, the

asr-000894
00:45:43.720 --> 00:45:45.880
John Castillo: Makati Business Club would really want to

asr-000895
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:47.680
John Castillo: highlight the role of businesses in

asr-000896
00:45:47.680 --> 00:45:49.740
John Castillo: economic development which

asr-000897
00:45:49.740 --> 00:45:52.040
John Castillo: asks for target

asr-000898
00:45:52.040 --> 00:45:53.920
John Castillo: evaluation for

asr-000899
00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:55.960
John Castillo: economic performance, catch-up

asr-000900
00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:57.440
John Castillo: policies, and transparency.

asr-000901
00:45:57.440 --> 00:45:59.440
John Castillo: Now, we move to

asr-000902
00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:01.340
John Castillo: another representative

asr-000903
00:46:01.340 --> 00:46:03.020

IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: Yung 2027

asr-000915
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:28.400
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: budget is

asr-000916
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:31.000
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: medyo nagiging obvious yung

asr-000917
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:33.000
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: pagbaba talaga for social services

asr-000918
00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:33.560
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: especially

asr-000919
00:46:33.560 --> 00:46:36.540
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: for those na

asr-000920
00:46:36.540 --> 00:46:39.300
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: yung sa education, sa health,

asr-000921
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:40.480
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: etc., etc. Pero

asr-000922
00:46:40.480 --> 00:46:43.120
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: sa particular po, hindi ko kasi nabanggit

asr-000923
00:46:43.120 --> 00:46:45.040
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: kanina dun sa agriculture

asr-000924
00:46:45.040 --> 00:46:47.180
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: pero as we prepare

asr-000925
00:46:47.180 --> 00:46:48.560
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: for El Nino kasi,

asr-000926
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:51.080
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: medyo bumaba yung target for

asr-000927
00:46:51.080 --> 00:46:53.100
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: NIA na about

asr-000928
00:46:53.100 --> 00:46:55.120
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: 26% yata yung binaba niya.

asr-000929
00:46:55.120 --> 00:46:56.940
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: So, medyo na-flag namin yung

asr-000930
00:46:56.940 --> 00:46:58.240
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: nasa concern sa amin.

asr-000931
00:46:58.400 --> 00:47:00.380
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: Tapos po, yun nga,

asr-000932
00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:03.080
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: yung fiscal framework natin ngayon

asr-000933
00:47:03.080 --> 00:47:04.420
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: medyo same-same old.

asr-000934
00:47:05.240 --> 00:47:07.040
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: Tapos, yung

asr-000935
00:47:07.040 --> 00:47:08.560
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: pagka-core talaga sana ng

asr-000936
00:47:08.560 --> 00:47:10.780
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: people's budgeting and people-centered

asr-000937
00:47:10.780 --> 00:47:13.240
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: ay sana ma-uplift natin

asr-000938
00:47:13.240 --> 00:47:15.140
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: yung talagang core na mga

asr-000939
00:47:15.140 --> 00:47:17.260
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: sectors like agriculture

asr-000940
00:47:17.260 --> 00:47:18.460
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: and industry kasi

asr-000941
00:47:18.460 --> 00:47:21.420
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: as it is said kanina,

asr-000942
00:47:21.600 --> 00:47:22.840
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: medyo kailangan talaga siyang

asr-000943
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:24.340
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: bigyan ng budgeting ngayon.

asr-000944
00:47:24.340 --> 00:47:26.340
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: And with the

asr-000945
00:47:27.180 --> 00:47:27.600
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: core,

asr-000946
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:30.980
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: departments having about

asr-000947
00:47:30.980 --> 00:47:33.020
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: 7 to 8% na decrease,

asr-000948
00:47:33.260 --> 00:47:35.800
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: medyo flag siya sa amin.

asr-000949
00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:37.140
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: So, mas ganun lang naman po.

asr-000950
00:47:37.900 --> 00:47:39.080
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: And siguro,

asr-000951
00:47:39.200 --> 00:47:40.900
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: reiterate ko lang din yung at least

asr-000952
00:47:40.900 --> 00:47:43.100
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: sa part ng IBON, yung

asr-000953
00:47:43.100 --> 00:47:45.360
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: dun sa Department of

asr-000954
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:46.980
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: Public Works and Highways,

asr-000955
00:47:47.120 --> 00:47:49.240
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: yung at least specificity

asr-000956
00:47:49.240 --> 00:47:50.800
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: sana ng

asr-000957
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:53.260
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: yung kung gaano

asr-000958
00:47:53.260 --> 00:47:54.740
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: kahaba yung road networks

asr-000959
00:47:54.740 --> 00:47:56.080
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: para at least kahit paano

asr-000960
00:47:56.080 --> 00:47:58.040
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: ma-

asr-000961
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:00.400
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: audit or at least makita kung

asr-000962
00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:02.580
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: sumasapat ba or hindi yung

asr-000963
00:48:02.580 --> 00:48:04.600
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: budget for those.

asr-000964
00:48:04.980 --> 00:48:05.800
IBON Foundation Representative Archilles Parallon: So, yun lang naman po.

asr-000965
00:48:06.080 --> 00:48:08.880
John Castillo: Thank you, Sir Mr. Parallon

asr-000966
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:09.960
John Castillo: from IBON Foundation.

asr-000967
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:12.600
John Castillo: At this point, we now open the floor

asr-000968
00:48:12.600 --> 00:48:14.720
John Castillo: for feedback from our panelists

asr-000969
00:48:14.720 --> 00:48:16.920
John Castillo: from the Senior Vice Chair and other

asr-000970
00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:18.620
John Castillo: Vice Chairpersons. Thank you.

asr-000971
00:48:19.900 --> 00:48:20.540
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Thank you.

asr-000972
00:48:21.040 --> 00:48:22.820
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: First, I'll tackle the

asr-000973
00:48:22.820 --> 00:48:23.660
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: LGSF.

asr-000974
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:27.040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kasi ang akala po nila ang LGSF

asr-000975
00:48:27.040 --> 00:48:27.560
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: is sa

asr-000976
00:48:27.560 --> 00:48:28.380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ang

asr-000977
00:48:28.380 --> 00:48:30.280
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nag-implement is DILG.

asr-000978
00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:33.040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, hindi po sila nag-implement

asr-000979
00:48:33.040 --> 00:48:35.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng LGSF.

asr-000980
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:37.020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Ang trabaho po ng

asr-000981
00:48:37.020 --> 00:48:39.660
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: DILG is to supervise

asr-000982
00:48:39.660 --> 00:48:41.200
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung implementation

asr-000983
00:48:41.200 --> 00:48:42.940
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng local government unit.

asr-000984
00:48:43.700 --> 00:48:45.080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And ang LGUs po,

asr-000985
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:47.040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kasama ang barangay, munisipyo,

asr-000986
00:48:47.600 --> 00:48:49.080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: direkta po sila na

asr-000987
00:48:49.080 --> 00:48:50.920
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: humihingi sa portal ng

asr-000988
00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:51.640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: DBM.

asr-000989
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:55.160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But I agree na dapat po

asr-000990
00:48:55.160 --> 00:48:56.060
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: may transparency.

asr-000991
00:48:57.060 --> 00:48:58.340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And I think,

asr-000992
00:48:58.380 --> 00:48:58.760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: safeguard.

asr-000993
00:48:59.660 --> 00:49:02.060
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And luckily, magaling po ang ating

asr-000994
00:49:02.060 --> 00:49:04.760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Senior Vice Chair. May bill po siya

asr-000995
00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:05.760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: about meritocracy.

asr-000996
00:49:06.660 --> 00:49:08.880
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, kung magaling na LGU,

asr-000997
00:49:09.660 --> 00:49:10.600
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: bigyan na mas malaki.

asr-000998
00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:13.320
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, isa po yun sa

asr-000999
00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:16.000
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nakikita natin na pwede pong gawin

asr-001000
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:18.560
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa kagalingan po ni

asr-001001
00:49:18.560 --> 00:49:20.260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Senior Vice Chair

asr-001002
00:49:20.260 --> 00:49:22.220
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Abet, di po sa pambabola.

asr-001003
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:23.880
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Dahil nag-mayor po ako,

asr-001004
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:25.780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nag-mayor rin po siya,

asr-001005
00:49:25.780 --> 00:49:28.180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nag-governor. So, alam po namin yung

asr-001006
00:49:28.180 --> 00:49:29.760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nangyayari sa LGUs.

asr-001007
00:49:30.160 --> 00:49:32.000
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But, pinaka-importante sa

asr-001008
00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:34.260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: LGSF is, even sa

asr-001009
00:49:34.260 --> 00:49:36.260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: national, I think this should be

asr-001010
00:49:36.260 --> 00:49:38.260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: data-driven. Even our

asr-001011
00:49:38.260 --> 00:49:38.980
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: programs.

asr-001012
00:49:40.420 --> 00:49:42.080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Like, in our district,

asr-001013
00:49:42.620 --> 00:49:44.640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we focus on, we call it

asr-001014
00:49:44.640 --> 00:49:45.080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: HEWI.

asr-001015
00:49:46.100 --> 00:49:47.620
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Health, Age for Health,

asr-001016
00:49:48.240 --> 00:49:49.940
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Education, Electrification,

asr-001017
00:49:50.500 --> 00:49:52.380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Water, and Infrastructure.

asr-001018
00:49:53.080 --> 00:49:54.340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But, when I became mayor,

asr-001019
00:49:54.500 --> 00:49:56.520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nilagyan ko pa ng HEWIL.

asr-001020
00:49:57.260 --> 00:49:58.160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kasi, pag na-complete,

asr-001021
00:49:58.180 --> 00:50:00.080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: makikita mo yun, yung basic services,

asr-001022
00:50:00.240 --> 00:50:02.060
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pagkakaroon ka ng livelihood.

asr-001023
00:50:02.720 --> 00:50:04.040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Okay? And I think,

asr-001024
00:50:04.140 --> 00:50:05.660
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: dapat, yung ating

asr-001025
00:50:05.660 --> 00:50:08.080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: paggawa ng

asr-001026
00:50:08.080 --> 00:50:10.260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: programa, paggawa

asr-001027
00:50:10.260 --> 00:50:12.180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng developmental plan,

asr-001028
00:50:12.740 --> 00:50:14.180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: dapat, galing po sa baba.

asr-001029
00:50:14.780 --> 00:50:16.100
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kasi, may budget ang

asr-001030
00:50:16.100 --> 00:50:18.340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: barangay, may budget ang

asr-001031
00:50:18.340 --> 00:50:20.100
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: munisipyo, may budget

asr-001032
00:50:20.100 --> 00:50:22.300
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ang probinsya, may budget sa

asr-001033
00:50:22.300 --> 00:50:23.540
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: national government.

asr-001034
00:50:24.100 --> 00:50:25.720
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, parang walang duplication.

asr-001035
00:50:25.720 --> 00:50:27.520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, what we do,

asr-001036
00:50:27.860 --> 00:50:28.100
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: well,

asr-001037
00:50:28.180 --> 00:50:29.680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: this is my practice,

asr-001038
00:50:30.020 --> 00:50:32.020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: every time may bago pong

asr-001039
00:50:32.020 --> 00:50:34.020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mga barangay captain, I do

asr-001040
00:50:34.020 --> 00:50:35.280
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: a caravan. That's me.

asr-001041
00:50:35.800 --> 00:50:37.880
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kasi, gusto kong makuha yung

asr-001042
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: data galing mismo sa kanila.

asr-001043
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:41.900
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And even po yung

asr-001044
00:50:41.900 --> 00:50:43.680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa CSO,

asr-001045
00:50:44.160 --> 00:50:45.240
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: actually po, may

asr-001046
00:50:45.240 --> 00:50:47.640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: budget din po ang

asr-001047
00:50:47.640 --> 00:50:50.040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: DILG para po sa

asr-001048
00:50:50.040 --> 00:50:51.860
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mga CSO na

asr-001049
00:50:51.860 --> 00:50:53.600
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pwede pong mag-supervise

asr-001050
00:50:53.600 --> 00:50:55.160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nung nakukuha natin sa

asr-001051
00:50:55.160 --> 00:50:57.120
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: LGSF. So,

asr-001052
00:50:57.120 --> 00:50:59.280
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ang DILG po ay

asr-001053
00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:00.780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: bawat munisipyo,

asr-001054
00:51:01.320 --> 00:51:02.680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: meron po silang mga

asr-001055
00:51:02.680 --> 00:51:05.000
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: officers, no? So, but

asr-001056
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:06.720
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I think you have to be recognized

asr-001057
00:51:06.720 --> 00:51:08.800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: also, ng

asr-001058
00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:11.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: munisipyo as the CSO.

asr-001059
00:51:11.940 --> 00:51:13.220
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, hindi po pwede na

asr-001060
00:51:13.220 --> 00:51:14.940
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: parket gumawa kayo ng CSO,

asr-001061
00:51:15.020 --> 00:51:17.160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kailangan po mag-register din po kayo

asr-001062
00:51:17.160 --> 00:51:18.920
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa mga munisipyo po

asr-001063
00:51:18.920 --> 00:51:20.800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: natin, no? Para po

asr-001064
00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:23.040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: malaman na

asr-001065
00:51:23.040 --> 00:51:24.880
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kayo po talaga yung tunay na

asr-001066
00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:26.800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: reestrado at maasa na

00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:28.960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: tumulong para bantayan ng ating

asr-001068
00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:30.840
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pong mga proyekto. That's why

asr-001069
00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:32.980
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: napaka-importante po itong

asr-001070
00:51:32.980 --> 00:51:34.960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ginagawa natin itong dialogue na ito

asr-001071
00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:36.460
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: para naiintindihan nyo rin po

asr-001072
00:51:36.460 --> 00:51:38.700
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kung ano po yung pinagagalingan namin

asr-001073
00:51:38.700 --> 00:51:40.780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: and kung ano rin po yung ginagawa

asr-001074
00:51:40.780 --> 00:51:42.960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng Kongreso. Kasi pagdating

asr-001075
00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:44.760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: po sa LGSF, wala

asr-001076
00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:46.380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: po kami dyan. Ang

asr-001077
00:51:46.380 --> 00:51:48.800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: local government, isa, direkta na po

asr-001078
00:51:48.800 --> 00:51:50.760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yan sa DBM. But, the

asr-001079
00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:53.100
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: thrust of the government is to empower

asr-001080
00:51:53.100 --> 00:51:54.900
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: our local government

asr-001081
00:51:54.900 --> 00:51:56.760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: units. Okay? And,

asr-001082
00:51:56.800 --> 00:51:58.820
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pagdating rin po sa

asr-001083
00:51:58.820 --> 00:51:59.740
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ELCAC,

asr-001084
00:52:00.580 --> 00:52:02.920
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: first of all, I'm against red-tagging.

asr-001085
00:52:03.380 --> 00:52:04.500
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Okay? But,

asr-001086
00:52:04.620 --> 00:52:06.780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: NTF-ELCAC is very important

asr-001087
00:52:06.780 --> 00:52:08.900
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: because I think

asr-001088
00:52:08.900 --> 00:52:10.360
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung communism,

asr-001089
00:52:11.020 --> 00:52:12.620
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: this is a social problem.

asr-001090
00:52:13.380 --> 00:52:15.040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Okay? When you address

asr-001091
00:52:15.040 --> 00:52:16.460
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: the problem socially,

asr-001092
00:52:17.020 --> 00:52:18.500
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: like building roads

asr-001093
00:52:18.500 --> 00:52:21.220
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa mga farthest barangay, sa mga bukid,

asr-001094
00:52:21.660 --> 00:52:23.080
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa coastal, isla,

asr-001095
00:52:23.660 --> 00:52:24.720
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: if you build roads,

asr-001096
00:52:24.720 --> 00:52:26.440
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: if you build schools,

asr-001097
00:52:26.800 --> 00:52:29.480
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: water, electricity,

asr-001098
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:30.860
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: infra,

asr-001099
00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:33.540
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: then you solve the social problem.

asr-001100
00:52:34.240 --> 00:52:35.740
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, wala na pong mamumundok.

asr-001101
00:52:36.480 --> 00:52:37.840
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Ano po? Dahil kami

asr-001102
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:39.460
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: naman po, bilang

asr-001103
00:52:39.460 --> 00:52:40.840
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: public servant,

asr-001104
00:52:41.700 --> 00:52:43.340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: gusto po natin na

asr-001105
00:52:43.340 --> 00:52:45.760

00:53:24.460 --> 00:53:25.020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Um,

asr-001127
00:53:26.780 --> 00:53:27.640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: actually,

asr-001128
00:53:28.640 --> 00:53:30.620
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: tourist areas natin,

asr-001129
00:53:30.740 --> 00:53:33.240

asr-001130
00:53:33.460 --> 00:53:35.640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: No? So, dun rin po tayo

asr-001134
00:53:40.740 --> 00:53:42.640

asr-001135
00:53:42.820 --> 00:53:44.780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kahit ako rin po, hindi ko rin po alam

asr-001136
00:53:44.780 --> 00:53:46.160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kung paano ina-approve

asr-001137
00:53:46.160 --> 00:53:49.020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng DBM, kung sino po

asr-001138
00:53:49.020 --> 00:53:49.940
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung bibigyan

asr-001139
00:53:49.940 --> 00:53:52.680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng LGSF. But,

asr-001140
00:53:52.680 --> 00:53:54.920
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: with that, we can ask them

asr-001141
00:53:54.920 --> 00:53:56.460
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ano ba yung criteria

asr-001142
00:53:56.460 --> 00:53:58.580
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: para po mas maging transparent po

asr-001143
00:53:58.580 --> 00:54:00.660
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: tayo? Kasi nagtatanong rin po

asr-001144
00:54:00.660 --> 00:54:01.960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung aking mga barangay,

asr-001145
00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:04.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nagtatanong rin po yung aming mga

asr-001146
00:54:04.420 --> 00:54:06.380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mayor, paano ba pag-approve

asr-001147
00:54:06.380 --> 00:54:08.320
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: dito? Pero kung transparent, transparent

asr-001148
00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:10.180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: na ba po? Kasi may portal po sila.

asr-001149
00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:12.260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But, in terms of approval,

asr-001150
00:54:12.940 --> 00:54:14.600
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I think we need to improve,

asr-001151
00:54:14.700 --> 00:54:16.520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: no? So, I support the bill

asr-001152
00:54:16.520 --> 00:54:18.120
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: of SVC

asr-001153
00:54:18.120 --> 00:54:20.400
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: for meritocracy na pwedeng

asr-001154
00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:21.960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: i-apply po sa LGSF.

asr-001155
00:54:22.380 --> 00:54:22.780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Thank you po.

asr-001155-split-2

00:54:26.460 --> 00:54:28.040

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you very much.

asr-001163
00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:40.020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kay Vice Chair Arnie for

asr-001164
00:54:40.020 --> 00:54:42.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: supporting the bill on

asr-001165
00:54:42.500 --> 00:54:44.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: meritocracy. Dun po sa

asr-001166
00:54:44.660 --> 00:54:45.360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hindi pa

asr-001167
00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:48.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hindi pa

asr-001168
00:54:48.600 --> 00:54:50.560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nakikita itong bill na ito,

asr-001169
00:54:50.560 --> 00:54:52.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: it is something worth

asr-001170
00:54:52.620 --> 00:54:54.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: looking into.

asr-001171
00:54:55.340 --> 00:54:56.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: That's a lot of work.

asr-001172
00:54:56.460 --> 00:54:58.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Dahil it will

asr-001173
00:54:58.040 --> 00:55:00.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: really incentivize

asr-001174
00:55:00.680 --> 00:55:01.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: good performance.

asr-001175
00:55:02.580 --> 00:55:04.280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Sa Makati Business Club,

asr-001176
00:55:04.780 --> 00:55:06.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: every time I present this to

asr-001177
00:55:06.460 --> 00:55:08.280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the private sector, especially yung mga

asr-001178
00:55:08.280 --> 00:55:10.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: companies sa Makati

asr-001179
00:55:10.660 --> 00:55:12.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Business Club na very, very successful,

asr-001180
00:55:13.520 --> 00:55:14.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I am sure

asr-001181
00:55:14.380 --> 00:55:16.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: they won't reach

asr-001182
00:55:16.460 --> 00:55:18.160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that level kung

asr-001183
00:55:18.160 --> 00:55:20.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: wala silang system of meritocracy

asr-001184
00:55:20.380 --> 00:55:21.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: in their organization.

asr-001185
00:55:22.380 --> 00:55:24.360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: For sure, they

asr-001186
00:55:24.360 --> 00:55:26.360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: reward good performance, kaya lumagod

asr-001187
00:55:26.460 --> 00:55:28.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ko yung kanilang kumpanya.

asr-001188
00:55:28.040 --> 00:55:29.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: But in government,

asr-001189
00:55:30.300 --> 00:55:31.760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hindi masyadong malinaw ito.

asr-001190
00:55:32.020 --> 00:55:33.900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: As we may feel

asr-001191
00:55:33.900 --> 00:55:35.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and we can see, na

asr-001192
00:55:35.860 --> 00:55:37.760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: palaging nandyan yung question

asr-001193
00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:38.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng

asr-001194
00:55:38.220 --> 00:55:42.360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: fragmented government

asr-001195
00:55:42.360 --> 00:55:44.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from the national, regional

asr-001196
00:55:44.040 --> 00:55:46.020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and local. And that

asr-001197
00:55:46.020 --> 00:55:48.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: contributes to the inefficiencies

asr-001198
00:55:48.560 --> 00:55:50.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that we feel

asr-001199
00:55:50.060 --> 00:55:52.260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and we see at the moment.

asr-001200
00:55:52.460 --> 00:55:54.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, itong meritocracy

asr-001201
00:55:54.080 --> 00:55:56.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is meant to

asr-001202
00:55:56.460 --> 00:55:59.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: address that,

asr-001203
00:55:59.700 --> 00:56:00.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: address the

asr-001204
00:56:00.680 --> 00:56:02.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sins of commission,

asr-001205
00:56:03.320 --> 00:56:04.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: which is corruption,

asr-001206
00:56:05.140 --> 00:56:07.140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and sins of omission,

asr-001207
00:56:07.680 --> 00:56:08.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: which is lack of

asr-001208
00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:11.160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: performance in a proactive

asr-001209
00:56:11.160 --> 00:56:13.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: manner, in context

asr-001210
00:56:13.480 --> 00:56:15.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from barangay,

asr-001211
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:16.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: municipality,

asr-001212
00:56:17.420 --> 00:56:18.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: city, congressional

asr-001213
00:56:18.920 --> 00:56:21.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: district, aggregated

asr-001214
00:56:21.100 --> 00:56:22.980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa province, region, and

asr-001215
00:56:22.980 --> 00:56:24.400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: national. So,

asr-001216
00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:26.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kapag dun po natin,

asr-001217
00:56:26.460 --> 00:56:28.780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nilagay yung national

asr-001218
00:56:28.780 --> 00:56:30.560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budget, aggregated and

asr-001219
00:56:30.560 --> 00:56:32.760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: disaggregated, then mas

asr-001220
00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:35.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: transparent, mas detailed,

asr-001221
00:56:35.380 --> 00:56:36.780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mas accountable, at

asr-001222
00:56:36.780 --> 00:56:38.820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pwedeng gawing demand-driven

asr-001223
00:56:38.820 --> 00:56:40.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and data-driven. From the

asr-001224
00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:42.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ground up, yung sinasabi ni

asr-001225
00:56:42.480 --> 00:56:44.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Vice Chair Arnie na

asr-001226
00:56:44.060 --> 00:56:46.840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: bottom-up budgeting

asr-001227
00:56:46.840 --> 00:56:48.140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na demand-driven and

asr-001228
00:56:48.140 --> 00:56:49.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: data-driven. So,

asr-001229
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:52.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yun po ay dumadaan

asr-001230
00:56:52.860 --> 00:56:54.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na po sa ating legislative

asr-001231
00:56:54.580 --> 00:56:55.400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: process.

asr-001232
00:56:56.460 --> 00:56:58.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And hopefully, ma-approve

asr-001233
00:56:58.080 --> 00:56:59.900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng ating

asr-001234
00:56:59.900 --> 00:57:02.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the committee, and

asr-001235
00:57:02.240 --> 00:57:04.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: eventually, sa second reading

asr-001236
00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:05.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at hanggang maging third reading,

asr-001237
00:57:06.600 --> 00:57:08.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: meron na rin pong counterpart

asr-001238
00:57:08.060 --> 00:57:09.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: bill ito sa Senate.

asr-001239
00:57:10.340 --> 00:57:12.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And by the way, ang nag-chair po ng

asr-001240
00:57:12.100 --> 00:57:14.560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: TWG nito, I know other than

asr-001241
00:57:14.560 --> 00:57:16.520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Vice Chair Monique,

asr-001242
00:57:17.120 --> 00:57:17.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na talagang

asr-001243
00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:20.280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hinimay-himay with all

asr-001244
00:57:20.280 --> 00:57:21.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the national agencies

asr-001245
00:57:21.720 --> 00:57:24.400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and representatives

asr-001246
00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:26.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from the League of

asr-001247
00:57:26.460 --> 00:57:28.420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Local Governments. Nang sa ganun, we can

asr-001248
00:57:28.420 --> 00:57:30.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: come up with a very relevant

asr-001249
00:57:30.120 --> 00:57:32.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and effective meritocracy

asr-001250
00:57:32.040 --> 00:57:34.340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: bill. So, eventually,

asr-001251
00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:36.400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung ating national budget,

asr-001252
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:38.420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kapag napasa ito,

asr-001253
00:57:38.620 --> 00:57:39.520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: in its version,

asr-001254
00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:42.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: for the first time,

asr-001255
00:57:43.160 --> 00:57:44.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: number one, magkakaroon

asr-001256
00:57:44.720 --> 00:57:45.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: tayo ng

asr-001257
00:57:45.580 --> 00:57:48.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: isang bottom line,

asr-001258
00:57:49.520 --> 00:57:50.400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: which we

asr-001259
00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:54.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: call

asr-001260
00:57:54.240 --> 00:57:55.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: HDI++.

asr-001261
00:57:56.460 --> 00:57:58.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Ginawa po nating

asr-001262
00:57:58.120 --> 00:58:00.280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mathematical equation

asr-001263
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:02.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung ambition natin

asr-001264
00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:03.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 2040,

asr-001265
00:58:04.440 --> 00:58:06.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: which is the national vision.

asr-001266
00:58:06.520 --> 00:58:08.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Of course, very abstract,

asr-001267
00:58:08.360 --> 00:58:09.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: very lofty

asr-001268
00:58:09.620 --> 00:58:11.840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: vision.

asr-001269
00:58:12.380 --> 00:58:14.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Ginawa nating something that is

asr-001270
00:58:14.480 --> 00:58:16.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: since mathematical equation siya,

asr-001271
00:58:16.760 --> 00:58:17.980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: something that is measurable,

asr-001272
00:58:19.140 --> 00:58:20.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: something that can be

asr-001273
00:58:20.500 --> 00:58:22.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: measured

asr-001274
00:58:22.920 --> 00:58:24.880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and managed in context.

asr-001275
00:58:25.840 --> 00:58:25.940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So,

asr-001276
00:58:26.460 --> 00:58:28.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: imagine 42,000

asr-001277
00:58:28.720 --> 00:58:30.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: baranggays participating

asr-001278
00:58:30.580 --> 00:58:32.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: in moving forward

asr-001279
00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:34.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: our national vision

asr-001280
00:58:34.660 --> 00:58:36.900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and being rewarded

asr-001281
00:58:36.900 --> 00:58:38.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: as they

asr-001282
00:58:38.680 --> 00:58:40.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: accomplish

asr-001283
00:58:40.500 --> 00:58:42.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the targets.

asr-001284
00:58:43.720 --> 00:58:44.420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Imagine that.

asr-001285
00:58:44.660 --> 00:58:46.840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, for the first time,

asr-001286
00:58:46.840 --> 00:58:48.340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: on the same page,

asr-001287
00:58:49.040 --> 00:58:50.820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: national government, regional government,

asr-001288
00:58:51.200 --> 00:58:53.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: all local government entities

asr-001289
00:58:53.220 --> 00:58:55.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: geared towards

asr-001290
00:58:55.120 --> 00:58:55.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: a single,

asr-001291
00:58:56.460 --> 00:58:57.020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: bottom line.

asr-001292
00:58:57.780 --> 00:58:58.820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, eventually,

asr-001293
00:58:58.960 --> 00:58:59.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung LGSF,

asr-001294
00:59:00.260 --> 00:59:01.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na, syempre, ngayon,

asr-001295
00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:02.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: we're in crisis,

asr-001296
00:59:02.720 --> 00:59:04.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: talagang lahat ng LGUs

asr-001297
00:59:04.180 --> 00:59:04.900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: tinutulungan.

asr-001298
00:59:05.040 --> 00:59:06.640
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Whether hard projects

asr-001299
00:59:06.640 --> 00:59:08.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or soft projects,

asr-001300
00:59:08.840 --> 00:59:10.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mga bigas

asr-001301
00:59:10.660 --> 00:59:12.520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and other financial assistance,

asr-001302
00:59:12.960 --> 00:59:14.360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: other infra na kailangan,

asr-001303
00:59:14.540 --> 00:59:15.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: dahil we're in crisis.

asr-001304
00:59:16.140 --> 00:59:16.360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Pero,

asr-001305
00:59:16.840 --> 00:59:18.320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kapag nalampasan na po natin

asr-001306
00:59:18.320 --> 00:59:19.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: itong crisis na ito,

asr-001307
00:59:19.900 --> 00:59:21.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: gusto natin na hindi na

asr-001308
00:59:21.100 --> 00:59:22.320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: shotgun approach.

asr-001309
00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:23.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Gusto natin na

asr-001310
00:59:23.500 --> 00:59:24.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: performance-based.

asr-001311
00:59:25.140 --> 00:59:25.400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Para,

asr-001312
00:59:25.920 --> 00:59:26.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung magagagap,

asr-001313
00:59:26.460 --> 00:59:26.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: magagaling

asr-001314
00:59:26.720 --> 00:59:28.540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na mga LGUs,

asr-001315
00:59:28.980 --> 00:59:31.140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mahila yung hindi masyadong magagaling

asr-001316
00:59:31.140 --> 00:59:32.020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pataas.

asr-001317
00:59:32.560 --> 00:59:33.400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: As opposed to,

asr-001318
00:59:33.780 --> 00:59:34.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kung wala kang

asr-001319
00:59:34.440 --> 00:59:37.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: system of meritocracy

asr-001320
00:59:37.180 --> 00:59:38.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and you don't incentivize

asr-001321
00:59:39.140 --> 00:59:40.280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: good performance,

asr-001322
00:59:40.740 --> 00:59:41.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung mga hindi magagaling

asr-001323
00:59:41.980 --> 00:59:43.760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at palakasan lang yung sistema,

asr-001324
00:59:44.360 --> 00:59:46.540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ihilahin yung mga magagaling na LGUs

asr-001325
00:59:46.540 --> 00:59:47.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pababa.

asr-001326
00:59:48.220 --> 00:59:49.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And, because the system

asr-001327
00:59:49.620 --> 00:59:51.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: doesn't contribute

asr-001328
00:59:51.240 --> 00:59:52.540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to a

asr-001329
00:59:52.540 --> 00:59:54.560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: performance-based

asr-001330
00:59:56.460 --> 00:59:57.300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: metrics.

asr-001331
00:59:57.720 --> 00:59:57.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So,

asr-001332
00:59:58.300 --> 00:59:58.740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pag ganun,

asr-001333
00:59:58.960 --> 01:00:00.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pag hinihila pababa,

asr-001334
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ano na mangyayari sa ating bansa

asr-001335
01:00:02.660 --> 01:00:05.020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: since all LGUs are components

asr-001336
01:00:05.020 --> 01:00:06.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of the national government.

asr-001337
01:00:07.180 --> 01:00:09.200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, gusto natin i-reverse

asr-001338
01:00:09.200 --> 01:00:10.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung trend

asr-001339
01:00:10.620 --> 01:00:11.520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with this

asr-001340
01:00:11.520 --> 01:00:14.320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: measure or bill

asr-001341
01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:15.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and

asr-001342
01:00:15.240 --> 01:00:18.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pag nalampasan na natin itong

asr-001343
01:00:18.720 --> 01:00:20.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: crisis, hopefully, yun yung maging

asr-001344
01:00:20.600 --> 01:00:22.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: norm in the future

asr-001345
01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:24.900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and we professionalize

asr-001346
01:00:24.900 --> 01:00:26.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: public service.

asr-001347
01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:28.400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yun po yung gusto natin.

asr-001348
01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:30.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Para we attract more

asr-001349
01:00:30.860 --> 01:00:34.320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: public servants

asr-001350
01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:35.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that are

asr-001351
01:00:35.920 --> 01:00:38.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: skilled

asr-001352
01:00:38.620 --> 01:00:40.320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to perform.

asr-001353
01:00:40.640 --> 01:00:42.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Hindi na puro optics, hindi na puro politika,

asr-001354
01:00:43.260 --> 01:00:44.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hindi na puro drama,

asr-001355
01:00:44.760 --> 01:00:46.520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: but based on performance

asr-001356
01:00:46.520 --> 01:00:48.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: talaga. And I think

asr-001357
01:00:48.600 --> 01:00:50.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: if that happens, makikita natin

asr-001358
01:00:50.380 --> 01:00:52.560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: umangat yung unti-unti

asr-001359
01:00:52.560 --> 01:00:54.400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung ating bansa

asr-001360
01:00:54.400 --> 01:00:55.980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from the barangays,

asr-001361
01:00:55.980 --> 01:00:57.640
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from the municipalities,

asr-001362
01:00:57.640 --> 01:00:59.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from the cities, congressional

asr-001363
01:00:59.700 --> 01:01:01.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: districts, provinces,

asr-001364
01:01:02.440 --> 01:01:03.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: regions,

asr-001365
01:01:03.800 --> 01:01:05.840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: aggregated sa national.

asr-001366
01:01:06.380 --> 01:01:08.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And on the same boat na.

asr-001367
01:01:08.440 --> 01:01:09.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Hindi na, hiwalay yung national,

asr-001368
01:01:09.860 --> 01:01:11.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hiwalay yung local, di ba?

asr-001369
01:01:11.800 --> 01:01:14.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Ngayon, on the same boat tayong lahat.

asr-001370
01:01:14.200 --> 01:01:15.740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, we are looking

asr-001371
01:01:15.740 --> 01:01:18.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: forward to see that scenario

asr-001372
01:01:18.000 --> 01:01:19.780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para hindi na po tayong

asr-001373
01:01:19.780 --> 01:01:22.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: makahabol tayo

asr-001374
01:01:22.620 --> 01:01:23.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa ating mga

asr-001375
01:01:23.720 --> 01:01:25.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ASEAN neighbors.

asr-001376
01:01:25.460 --> 01:01:26.960
John Castillo: Thank you very much,

asr-001377
01:01:26.960 --> 01:01:28.440
John Castillo: Senior Vice Chair Abbott.

asr-001378
01:01:28.840 --> 01:01:29.840
John Castillo: Additional feedback.

asr-001379
01:01:29.840 --> 01:01:31.720
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Can I add lang po, kasi

asr-001380
01:01:31.720 --> 01:01:34.720
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: galit rin po ako sa red tagging talaga.

asr-001381
01:01:36.420 --> 01:01:37.640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Nainis po ako dyan.

asr-001382
01:01:38.300 --> 01:01:40.460
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, sa CSO lang po natin,

asr-001383
01:01:40.940 --> 01:01:42.520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ang NAPOLCOM po

asr-001384
01:01:42.520 --> 01:01:44.020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ay nakikinig po sa atin.

asr-001385
01:01:44.540 --> 01:01:46.780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And in fact, si Commissioner po,

asr-001386
01:01:47.300 --> 01:01:48.980
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: si Commissioner

asr-001387
01:01:48.980 --> 01:01:50.740
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: is very well

asr-001388
01:01:50.740 --> 01:01:52.340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: performing. Actually,

asr-001389
01:01:52.520 --> 01:01:53.800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 4,000 cases,

asr-001390
01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:56.200
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: backlog ng 25 years,

asr-001391
01:01:56.200 --> 01:01:56.840
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ngayon po,

asr-001392
01:01:56.960 --> 01:01:58.280
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: zero na. Okay?

asr-001393
01:01:58.600 --> 01:02:00.280
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: With a very small budget.

asr-001394
01:02:00.940 --> 01:02:02.920
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, in the part of

asr-001395
01:02:02.920 --> 01:02:04.520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: the ILG, sa Kupulisan,

asr-001396
01:02:05.320 --> 01:02:06.700
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kung meron po kayong

01:02:06.700 --> 01:02:08.960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: alam na nagre-red tag,

01:02:09.600 --> 01:02:10.980
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kindly go directly

asr-001399
01:02:10.980 --> 01:02:12.660
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa ating pong Commissioner,

asr-001400
01:02:12.900 --> 01:02:15.120
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kalinisan. Sa pangalan pa lang,

asr-001401
01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:16.680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: malinis na. Okay?

asr-001402
01:02:16.800 --> 01:02:18.760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, nililinis po ang Kupulisan.

asr-001403
01:02:19.260 --> 01:02:21.040

asr-001804
01:18:51.680 --> 01:18:53.100
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: of these take place. Kasi

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: kaya po nilagay dyan yung pinakamalaking

asr-001807
01:18:57.540 --> 01:18:58.760
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: budget. Dahil alam natin,

asr-001808
01:18:58.960 --> 01:19:01.400
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: ito din lang talaga ang tutulong

asr-001809
01:19:01.400 --> 01:19:03.640
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: sa karamihan ng kabataan natin

asr-001810
01:19:03.640 --> 01:19:05.840
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: para masiguro natin na tuloy-tuloy

asr-001811
01:19:05.840 --> 01:19:07.440
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: lang ang pag-ayos ng ating

asr-001812
01:19:07.440 --> 01:19:09.680
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: lipunan dito sa ating bansa.

asr-001813
01:19:10.220 --> 01:19:11.560
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: And with that, of course, we

asr-001814
01:19:11.560 --> 01:19:13.540
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: partner with the Jesse Robredo Foundation

asr-001815
01:19:13.540 --> 01:19:15.880
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: because as our learners

asr-001816
01:19:15.880 --> 01:19:19.520
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: go to the next level, as they

asr-001817
01:19:19.520 --> 01:19:21.500
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: achieve higher levels in

asr-001818
01:19:21.500 --> 01:19:23.540
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: education, we'd also like them

asr-001819
01:19:23.540 --> 01:19:24.800
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: to achieve all of this

asr-001820
01:19:24.800 --> 01:19:27.420
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: while being very professionally

asr-001821
01:19:27.420 --> 01:19:28.680
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: capable.

asr-001822
01:19:28.960 --> 01:19:30.580
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: We'd like to be able to

asr-001823
01:19:30.580 --> 01:19:32.360
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: produce, of course, all these

asr-001824
01:19:32.360 --> 01:19:33.840
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: graduates who we know

asr-001825
01:19:33.840 --> 01:19:36.300
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: let's not end with just

asr-001826
01:19:36.300 --> 01:19:38.320
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: the educational side of it,

asr-001827
01:19:38.680 --> 01:19:40.020
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: but in improving,

asr-001828
01:19:40.520 --> 01:19:42.560
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: of course, the education that is given

asr-001829
01:19:42.560 --> 01:19:44.440
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: to each member of our

asr-001830

asr-001832
01:19:48.440 --> 01:19:50.340
Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: that you do not grow tired of

Rep. Monique Yazmin Maria Q. Lagdameo: partnering with us to make sure that we

asr-001835
01:19:54.860 --> 01:19:56.400
John Castillo: Thank you, Vice Chair Manique.

asr-001836
01:19:57.040 --> 01:19:58.680

01:19:58.960 --> 01:19:59.540
John Castillo: SBC.

asr-001838
01:19:59.580 --> 01:20:01.780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Vice Chair Manique. And just to add,

asr-001839
01:20:02.980 --> 01:20:04.940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para lang ma-address din yung

asr-001840
01:20:04.940 --> 01:20:08.940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: general observation na bumaba

asr-001841
01:20:08.940 --> 01:20:10.740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung mga budget

asr-001842
01:20:10.740 --> 01:20:12.140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng mga very vital

asr-001843
01:20:12.140 --> 01:20:14.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: departments and services,

asr-001844
01:20:14.900 --> 01:20:16.640
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: education, social

asr-001845
01:20:16.640 --> 01:20:18.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: services, ang reason

asr-001846
01:20:18.860 --> 01:20:20.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: po na binibigay ng

asr-001847
01:20:20.440 --> 01:20:22.420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: DBM is yung

asr-001848
01:20:22.420 --> 01:20:24.940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: absorptive

asr-001849
01:20:24.940 --> 01:20:26.780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: capacity, which

asr-001850
01:20:26.780 --> 01:20:28.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is a problem dahil sobrang centralized,

asr-001851
01:20:28.960 --> 01:20:30.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nagkakaproblema sa absorptive

asr-001852
01:20:30.680 --> 01:20:32.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: capacity. That's why, in last

asr-001853
01:20:32.960 --> 01:20:34.880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: year's budget, and I think

asr-001854
01:20:34.880 --> 01:20:37.020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ipagpapatuloy sa

asr-001855
01:20:37.020 --> 01:20:38.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budget ngayon, yung

asr-001856
01:20:38.600 --> 01:20:40.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: modalities ng implementation

asr-001857
01:20:40.500 --> 01:20:43.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pinalawak po ng Congress.

asr-001858
01:20:43.460 --> 01:20:45.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, dati yung department

asr-001859
01:20:45.000 --> 01:20:46.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: lang, for example, DepEd,

asr-001860
01:20:46.660 --> 01:20:49.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: DepEd lang mag-implement, kunyari, ng mga classrooms

asr-001861
01:20:49.000 --> 01:20:50.820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or imumua lang

asr-001862
01:20:50.820 --> 01:20:52.740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa DPWH. Ngayon po,

asr-001863
01:20:53.240 --> 01:20:54.780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pwedeng DepEd, pwedeng

asr-001864
01:20:54.780 --> 01:20:57.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: DPWH, pwedeng local government

asr-001865
01:20:57.080 --> 01:20:58.880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: unit, or

asr-001866
01:20:58.960 --> 01:21:00.560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: public-private

asr-001867
01:21:00.560 --> 01:21:02.520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: partnership. So,

asr-001868
01:21:03.080 --> 01:21:04.520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sinimulan natin palawakin

asr-001869
01:21:04.520 --> 01:21:07.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng sa ganon, yung absorptive capacity

asr-001870
01:21:07.120 --> 01:21:08.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ay mas maging

asr-001871
01:21:08.920 --> 01:21:11.140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: efficient at mas magawa

asr-001872
01:21:11.140 --> 01:21:12.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: itong mga projects na

asr-001873
01:21:12.660 --> 01:21:14.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kinakailangan on the

asr-001874
01:21:14.920 --> 01:21:17.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ground. Alam po

asr-001875
01:21:17.040 --> 01:21:19.200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: namin na hindi pa rin efficient yung

asr-001876
01:21:19.200 --> 01:21:20.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung ginawang sistema

asr-001877
01:21:20.620 --> 01:21:22.540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and we're still looking at

asr-001878
01:21:22.540 --> 01:21:24.740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: on how we can

asr-001879
01:21:24.740 --> 01:21:26.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: improve it better.

asr-001880
01:21:27.100 --> 01:21:27.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, yun po yung

asr-001881
01:21:28.960 --> 01:21:31.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sitwasyon. Kaya kung napansin nyo, may mga

asr-001882
01:21:31.080 --> 01:21:33.300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: vital department na bumabang

asr-001883
01:21:33.300 --> 01:21:35.360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung budget. Kasi makikita nyo yung

asr-001884
01:21:35.360 --> 01:21:37.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung implementation

asr-001885
01:21:37.000 --> 01:21:39.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: efficiency or absorptive

asr-001886
01:21:39.180 --> 01:21:40.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: capacity tinamaan. Pero

asr-001887
01:21:40.860 --> 01:21:42.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: tinitignan po yan ng

asr-001888
01:21:42.920 --> 01:21:45.140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: inyong House of Representatives and we

asr-001889
01:21:45.140 --> 01:21:47.520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: will improve that and rectify

asr-001890
01:21:47.520 --> 01:21:49.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: some of that. So,

asr-001891
01:21:49.240 --> 01:21:49.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: thank you.

asr-001891-split-2

01:22:00.800 --> 01:22:02.760

01:22:27.360 --> 01:22:28.940
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: Alright. So, good morning.

asr-001911
01:22:28.960 --> 01:22:29.580
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: Good morning, everyone.

asr-001912
01:22:31.040 --> 01:22:33.100
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: I'm from, yes, I'm Camille Fajardo

asr-001913
01:22:33.100 --> 01:22:34.620
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: from Safe Travel PH.

asr-001914
01:22:35.280 --> 01:22:37.200
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: So, Safe Travel PH

asr-001915
01:22:37.200 --> 01:22:39.080
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: is an NGO based in the

asr-001916
01:22:39.080 --> 01:22:41.140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: UP National College of Public

asr-001917
01:22:41.140 --> 01:22:42.620
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: Administration and Governance.

asr-001918
01:22:43.140 --> 01:22:45.120
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: We are a multidisciplinary group

asr-001919
01:22:45.120 --> 01:22:46.800
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: of academics, researchers,

asr-001920
01:22:47.240 --> 01:22:49.100
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: and public transport operators.

asr-001921
01:22:50.260 --> 01:22:50.460
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: So,

asr-001922
01:22:51.260 --> 01:22:53.200
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: just one thing, just one

asr-001923
01:22:53.200 --> 01:22:55.060
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: concern that we would like to highlight is

asr-001924
01:22:55.060 --> 01:22:56.620
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: that for the 2027

asr-001925
01:22:56.620 --> 01:22:58.920
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: budget, we would like to raise,

asr-001926
01:22:58.960 --> 01:23:01.100
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: is that we should not only look

asr-001927
01:23:01.100 --> 01:23:02.940
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: at how much agencies are

asr-001928
01:23:02.940 --> 01:23:04.960
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: spending, but also

asr-001929
01:23:04.960 --> 01:23:07.020
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: at what public outcomes

asr-001930
01:23:07.020 --> 01:23:08.780
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: that spending is actually

asr-001931
01:23:08.780 --> 01:23:11.060
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: producing. We recognize

asr-001932
01:23:11.060 --> 01:23:12.860
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: that budget utilization

asr-001933
01:23:12.860 --> 01:23:14.940
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: is important, but the

asr-001934
01:23:14.940 --> 01:23:17.140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: low obligation or disbursement

asr-001935
01:23:17.140 --> 01:23:19.220
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: rate does not automatically

asr-001936
01:23:19.220 --> 01:23:20.820
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: mean that the program

asr-001937
01:23:20.820 --> 01:23:22.860
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: is unnecessary or should

asr-001938
01:23:22.860 --> 01:23:24.120
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: receive less funding.

asr-001939
01:23:25.040 --> 01:23:26.380
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: It may also reflect

asr-001940
01:23:26.380 --> 01:23:28.740
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: procurement delays, weak

asr-001941
01:23:28.960 --> 01:23:30.760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: staffing, delayed fund

asr-001942
01:23:30.760 --> 01:23:32.920
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: releases, poor program

asr-001943
01:23:32.920 --> 01:23:34.480
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: design, or implementation

asr-001944
01:23:34.480 --> 01:23:36.880
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: bottlenecks. Our own

asr-001945
01:23:36.880 --> 01:23:38.320
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: budget work has emphasized

asr-001946
01:23:38.320 --> 01:23:40.900
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: that these underlying causes need

asr-001947
01:23:40.900 --> 01:23:42.680
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: to be examined before drawing

asr-001948
01:23:42.680 --> 01:23:45.140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: conclusions from utilization figures

asr-001949
01:23:45.140 --> 01:23:45.540
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: alone.

asr-001950
01:23:46.800 --> 01:23:49.020
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: And likewise, high accomplishment

asr-001951
01:23:49.020 --> 01:23:50.780
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: rates should not automatically

asr-001952
01:23:50.780 --> 01:23:52.760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: be treated as proof of success.

asr-001953
01:23:53.640 --> 01:23:54.880
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: Congress should be able to

asr-001954
01:23:54.880 --> 01:23:56.720
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: ask, what is the baseline?

asr-001955
01:23:57.240 --> 01:23:58.720
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: What is the denominator?

asr-001956
01:23:58.960 --> 01:24:01.140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: What data were used?

asr-001957
01:24:01.800 --> 01:24:02.760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: And most importantly,

asr-001958
01:24:03.320 --> 01:24:05.080
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: did people actually experience

asr-001959
01:24:05.080 --> 01:24:05.960
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: better services?

asr-001960
01:24:06.840 --> 01:24:09.120
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: For transportation, this means

asr-001961
01:24:09.120 --> 01:24:11.140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: looking beyond the number of vehicles

asr-001962
01:24:11.140 --> 01:24:13.140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: modernized, plans

asr-001963
01:24:13.140 --> 01:24:15.160
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: approved, or subsidies released.

asr-001964
01:24:15.740 --> 01:24:16.940
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: We should be measuring

asr-001965
01:24:16.940 --> 01:24:18.760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: whether commuters are experiencing

asr-001966
01:24:18.760 --> 01:24:20.760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: shorter waiting times,

asr-001967
01:24:21.400 --> 01:24:22.840
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: more reliable service,

asr-001968
01:24:23.700 --> 01:24:24.820
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: safer access,

asr-001969
01:24:25.580 --> 01:24:26.800
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: better affordability,

asr-001970
01:24:26.800 --> 01:24:28.760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: and whether transport

asr-001971
01:24:28.760 --> 01:24:30.300
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: workers have sustainable

asr-001972
01:24:30.300 --> 01:24:31.320
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: livelihoods.

asr-001973
01:24:32.140 --> 01:24:34.360
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: So these commuter-centered indicators

asr-001974
01:24:34.360 --> 01:24:35.900
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: are still not prominent

asr-001975
01:24:35.900 --> 01:24:38.040
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: in current public transport

asr-001976
01:24:38.040 --> 01:24:39.360
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: performance reporting.

asr-001977
01:24:40.020 --> 01:24:41.760
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: And this brings me specifically

asr-001978
01:24:41.760 --> 01:24:44.600
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: to the proposed 2027 DOTR

asr-001979
01:24:44.600 --> 01:24:46.820
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: budget. We are concerned

asr-001980
01:24:46.820 --> 01:24:48.300
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: that the fuel subsidy

asr-001981
01:24:48.300 --> 01:24:50.140
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: and service contracting programs

asr-001982
01:24:50.140 --> 01:24:51.880
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: have zero proposed allocation,

asr-001983
01:24:52.640 --> 01:24:53.980
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: while the public transport

asr-001984
01:24:53.980 --> 01:24:56.160
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: modernization program is only around

asr-001985
01:24:56.160 --> 01:24:58.440
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: 176.8 million

asr-001986
01:24:58.440 --> 01:24:59.240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: nationwide.

asr-001987
01:25:00.240 --> 01:25:02.800
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: If these reductions are being justified

asr-001988
01:25:02.800 --> 01:25:04.240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: by underutilization,

asr-001989
01:25:04.240 --> 01:25:06.240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: then Congress should ask,

asr-001990
01:25:06.240 --> 01:25:08.240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: how exactly was this

asr-001991
01:25:08.240 --> 01:25:10.240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: underutilization evaluated?

asr-001992
01:25:10.240 --> 01:25:12.240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: What caused it?

asr-001993
01:25:12.240 --> 01:25:14.240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: And why is the response to reduce

asr-001994
01:25:14.240 --> 01:25:16.240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: funding instead of fixing

asr-001995
01:25:16.240 --> 01:25:18.240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: the implementation bottlenecks?

asr-001996
01:25:18.240 --> 01:25:20.240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: And for us, the central question

asr-001997
01:25:20.240 --> 01:25:22.240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: is simple. So does

asr-001998
01:25:22.240 --> 01:25:24.240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: the 2027 budget actually match

asr-001999
01:25:24.240 --> 01:25:26.240
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: the scale of the mobility problems

asr-002000
01:25:26.240 --> 01:25:30.340
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: experienced every day by commuters and transport workers?

asr-002001
01:25:31.220 --> 01:25:32.400
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: So, yun lamang po.

asr-002002
01:25:32.400 --> 01:25:32.720
Safe Travel PH Representative Camille Fajardo: Maraming salamat.

asr-002005
01:25:35.240 --> 01:25:37.120
John Castillo: Thank you from our representative

asr-002006
01:25:37.120 --> 01:25:39.860

01:25:44.480 --> 01:25:45.160
John Castillo: And then,

asr-002009
01:25:45.300 --> 01:25:47.540
John Castillo: may we call on

asr-002031

asr-002032
01:26:25.680 --> 01:26:26.980
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: fortunately, during the

01:26:31.080 --> 01:26:33.060
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: questions, I think po, for the CSOs.

asr-002041
01:26:42.960 --> 01:26:44.540
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: road-based transport programs.

asr-002042

asr-002047
01:26:55.080 --> 01:26:56.300
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: our sidewalks.

asr-002048
01:26:57.180 --> 01:26:58.500
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: And also subsidies.

asr-002049
01:26:58.600 --> 01:27:00.880
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: For our transport workers, yung fuel subsidy

asr-002050
01:27:00.880 --> 01:27:02.960
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: program and service contracting

asr-002051
01:27:02.960 --> 01:27:05.160
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: program. Nakakalungkot po

asr-002052
01:27:05.160 --> 01:27:06.980
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: na the programs that were used to

asr-002053
01:27:06.980 --> 01:27:08.780
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: help the sector during the oil

asr-002054
01:27:08.780 --> 01:27:11.020

asr-002055
01:27:11.020 --> 01:27:12.820
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: pondo kasi kinulang po ito this year,

asr-002056
01:27:13.740 --> 01:27:14.960
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: zero po ang pondo

asr-002057
01:27:14.960 --> 01:27:17.180
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: for next year. But thankfully po,

asr-002058
01:27:17.260 --> 01:27:18.900
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: may support na from Congress

asr-002059
01:27:18.900 --> 01:27:21.020
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: and hopefully po, masi-through po yun hanggang

asr-002060
01:27:21.020 --> 01:27:23.020
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: mag-gaa po tayo. Now for

asr-002062
01:27:24.980 --> 01:27:27.040
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: road safety. We'd like to raise

asr-002063
01:27:27.040 --> 01:27:28.880
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: something po that the Congress has never

asr-002064
01:27:28.880 --> 01:27:30.540
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: funded. The implementation

asr-002065
01:27:30.540 --> 01:27:32.820
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: of the 2023 to

asr-002066
01:27:32.820 --> 01:27:34.880
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: 2028 Philippine Road Safety

asr-002067
01:27:34.880 --> 01:27:36.960
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: Action Plan. Road crashes

asr-002068
01:27:36.960 --> 01:27:38.940
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: po remain the top cause of

asr-002069
01:27:38.940 --> 01:27:40.840
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: death for Filipinos age

asr-002070
01:27:40.840 --> 01:27:42.660
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: 15 to 29 years old.

asr-002071
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

asr-002072
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.

asr-002073
01:27:48.460 --> 01:27:48.980
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: The

asr-002074
01:27:48.980 --> 01:27:51.020
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: DOTR proposes to fund this

asr-002075
01:27:51.020 --> 01:27:53.240
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: every year. Hindi po malaki ang hinihingi

asr-002076
01:27:53.240 --> 01:27:54.860
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: nila, just a hundred million pesos.

asr-002077
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

asr-002078
01:27:56.920 --> 01:27:58.960
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: plano, but we've never funded

asr-002079
01:27:58.960 --> 01:28:01.040
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: this. So hopefully po,

asr-002080
01:28:01.360 --> 01:28:03.020
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: 2027 is

asr-002081
01:28:03.020 --> 01:28:04.500
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: the year. And

asr-002082
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

asr-002083
01:28:07.180 --> 01:28:08.120
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: just to

asr-002084
01:28:08.120 --> 01:28:11.140
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: move beyond po yung transport

asr-002085

asr-002087
01:28:14.860 --> 01:28:16.980
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: We also ask the Congress to act

asr-002088
01:28:16.980 --> 01:28:18.340
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: on reform measures

asr-002089
01:28:18.340 --> 01:28:20.820
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: already before the House,

asr-002090
01:28:20.960 --> 01:28:23.040
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: lalo na po yung Cadena Act.

asr-002091
01:28:23.620 --> 01:28:24.960
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: This was approved by the

asr-002092
01:28:24.960 --> 01:28:26.480
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: Senate in December 2025.

asr-002093
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.

asr-002094
01:28:28.860 --> 01:28:30.700
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: This Act would provide the transparency

asr-002095
01:28:30.700 --> 01:28:33.300
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: infrastructure needed to digitize

asr-002096
01:28:33.300 --> 01:28:35.000
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: and publicly verify House

asr-002097
01:28:35.000 --> 01:28:37.120
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: budget amendments, allowing citizens

asr-002098
01:28:37.120 --> 01:28:39.120
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: to track whether budget commitments

asr-002099
01:28:39.120 --> 01:28:41.020
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: are actually reflected in final

asr-002100
01:28:41.020 --> 01:28:43.340
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: appropriations. So existing

asr-002101
01:28:43.340 --> 01:28:45.020
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: na po, civil society

asr-002102
01:28:45.020 --> 01:28:45.760
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: has been

asr-002103
01:28:45.760 --> 01:28:49.240
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: uploading, sending

asr-002104
01:28:49.240 --> 01:28:51.260
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: links po for open source tools

asr-002105
01:28:51.260 --> 01:28:53.280
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: such as the Open Budget Transparency

asr-002106
01:28:53.280 --> 01:28:55.020
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: Server. Kailangan lang po natin

asr-002107
01:28:55.020 --> 01:28:56.680
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: ilagay yung legal framework to

asr-002108
01:28:56.680 --> 01:28:58.400
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: fund this and keep this maintained

asr-002109
01:28:58.400 --> 01:29:00.880
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: hopefully by DBM Congress or kung sino

asr-002110
01:29:00.880 --> 01:29:02.820
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: man po. At the end

asr-002111
01:29:02.820 --> 01:29:04.680
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: of the day, we have to ask

asr-002112
01:29:04.680 --> 01:29:06.940
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: ourselves po, kami po tinatanong namin

asr-002113
01:29:06.940 --> 01:29:08.620
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: ano pong CSO inputs

asr-002114
01:29:08.620 --> 01:29:10.600
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: ang ano pong

asr-002115
01:29:10.600 --> 01:29:12.540
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: budget line items ang binago po ng

asr-002116
01:29:12.540 --> 01:29:14.480
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: Kongreso dahil sa participation

asr-002117
01:29:14.480 --> 01:29:16.260
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: ng CSOs. I think that would help

asr-002118
01:29:16.260 --> 01:29:18.540
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: Congress, that would help the task force

asr-002119
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

asr-002120
01:29:20.680 --> 01:29:22.420
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: to push this pong Cadena Act.

asr-002121
01:29:22.680 --> 01:29:23.980
Move As One Coalition Representative Ysabel Eugene G. Agregado: Yun lamang po, maraming salamat.

asr-002122
01:29:25.720 --> 01:29:26.520
John Castillo: Thank you very

asr-002123
01:29:26.520 --> 01:29:28.600
John Castillo: much for that lively presentation

John Castillo: of your concern, Ms. Ysabel from the

asr-002125
01:29:30.620 --> 01:29:31.900
John Castillo: Move As One Coalition.

asr-002126
01:29:32.500 --> 01:29:34.660
John Castillo: At this juncture, may we call on

asr-002127
01:29:34.660 --> 01:29:36.620
John Castillo: the representative from the

asr-002128
01:29:36.620 --> 01:29:39.000
John Castillo: Foundation for Economic

asr-002129
01:29:39.000 --> 01:29:40.860
John Castillo: Freedom, FEF,

asr-002130
01:29:41.680 --> 01:29:42.700
John Castillo: to share their

asr-002131
01:29:42.700 --> 01:29:44.140
John Castillo: concerns, if any?

asr-002132
01:29:46.180 --> 01:29:46.620
John Castillo: Ah, so

asr-002133
01:29:46.620 --> 01:29:48.580
John Castillo: Mr. Rene, Engineer Rene is not

asr-002134
01:29:48.580 --> 01:29:49.740
John Castillo: around. Okay.

asr-002135
01:29:50.480 --> 01:29:51.500
John Castillo: At this point,

asr-002136
01:29:51.860 --> 01:29:54.620
John Castillo: we will now hear the feedbacks

asr-002137
01:29:55.180 --> 01:29:56.480
John Castillo: from our panel

asr-002138
01:29:56.520 --> 01:29:57.860
John Castillo: lists, particularly

asr-002139
01:29:57.860 --> 01:29:59.980
John Castillo: Vice Chair of

asr-002140
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:03.040
John Castillo: Honorable Representative Reynante Arrogancia.

asr-002141
01:30:04.300 --> 01:30:05.260
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Good morning, everyone.

asr-002142
01:30:05.880 --> 01:30:07.340
John Castillo: Good morning, Mr. Vice Chairman.

asr-002143
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.

asr-002144
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,

asr-002145
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.

asr-002146
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.

asr-002147
01:30:44.640 --> 01:30:51.140
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Yung question about bakit nabawasan, bakit hindi natin nabigyan ng tamang budget.

asr-002148
01:30:51.920 --> 01:30:54.640
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Alam n'yo sa atin, sa appropriation,

asr-002149
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

asr-002150
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.

asr-002151
01:31:14.480 --> 01:31:14.900
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Example lang ito.

asr-002152
01:31:16.540 --> 01:31:21.980
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: So, medyo may problem tayo kung bibigyan natin ng panibagong mas malaki.

asr-002153
01:31:22.820 --> 01:31:24.740
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Dahil instead na yung pondo

asr-002154
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

asr-002155
01:31:33.540 --> 01:31:34.660
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: sa ating bansa.

asr-002156
01:31:37.020 --> 01:31:41.380
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Mas mabilis yung magiging development ng bansa natin.

asr-002157
01:31:41.700 --> 01:31:42.320
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Pero tama kayo.

asr-002158
01:31:43.300 --> 01:31:44.820
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Kailangan natin gawin dito,

asr-002159
01:31:44.860 --> 01:31:50.920
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: aralin natin, bakit ba hindi ito na-utilize?

asr-002160
01:31:51.900 --> 01:31:53.500
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Bakit ba hindi natin na-aral?

asr-002161
01:31:54.100 --> 01:31:55.700
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Saan nagkulang?

asr-002162
01:31:56.600 --> 01:31:58.320
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Sa procurement ba? Saan nagkulang?

asr-002163
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?

asr-002164
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.

asr-002165
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.

asr-002166
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.

asr-002167
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.

asr-002168
01:32:42.040 --> 01:32:45.680
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Ay kaugnay namin kayo, may participation kayo.

asr-002169
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.

asr-002170
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.

asr-002171
01:33:11.720 --> 01:33:15.140
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: So muli po, maraming maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat.

asr-002172
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.

asr-002173
01:33:22.980 --> 01:33:23.560
Rep. Reynante U. Arrogancia: Salamat po ulit.

asr-002174
01:33:24.260 --> 01:33:26.420
John Castillo: Thank you very much, Vice Chair Reynan.

asr-002175
01:33:27.580 --> 01:33:30.980
John Castillo: Any other feedbacks from our panelists, SVC?

asr-002176
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.

asr-002177
01:33:38.740 --> 01:33:43.740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I would like to commend Miss Fajardo.

asr-002178
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.

asr-002179
01:34:09.860 --> 01:34:14.340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So perspective matters and you're giving us new perspective.

asr-002180
01:34:15.140 --> 01:34:19.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: That we can use in order to improve our budgets further.

asr-002181
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.

asr-002182
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.

asr-002183
01:34:45.140 --> 01:34:49.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So dahil mas makikita natin yung impact.

asr-002184
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?

asr-002185
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.

asr-002186
01:35:11.320 --> 01:35:12.140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So.

asr-002187
01:35:13.260 --> 01:35:14.420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So.

asr-002188
01:35:15.140 --> 01:35:18.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: You hit the nail right on the head.

asr-002189
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.

asr-002190
01:35:24.160 --> 01:35:27.300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And hardly anyone is talking about it.

asr-002191
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?

asr-002192
01:35:44.020 --> 01:35:45.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Tanghali na po.

asr-002193
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.

asr-002194
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.

asr-002195
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.

asr-002196
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.

asr-002197
01:36:34.720 --> 01:36:34.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

asr-002198
01:36:35.440 --> 01:36:35.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So.

asr-002199
01:36:37.160 --> 01:36:39.540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Na ano lang po siya.

asr-002200
01:36:39.760 --> 01:36:40.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kumbaga.

asr-002201
01:36:41.840 --> 01:36:44.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Na offset lang po siya nitong losses.

asr-002202
01:36:44.960 --> 01:36:46.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 3.5 billion pesos a day.

asr-002203
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.

asr-002204
01:36:54.780 --> 01:36:58.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Simula 2014, 2.5 billion pesos a day pa lang.

asr-002205
01:36:58.860 --> 01:37:01.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: In update ng 2017, 3.5 na.

asr-002206
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.

asr-002207
01:37:13.080 --> 01:37:14.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, anlaki po nun.

asr-002208
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.

asr-002209
01:37:25.760 --> 01:37:27.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Twice the current budget.

asr-002210
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.

asr-002211
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.

asr-002212
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.

asr-002213
01:38:13.640 --> 01:38:13.780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, it's a big problem.

asr-002214
01:38:13.780 --> 01:38:18.520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, dun po ang isang magiging relevance nung meritocracy bill.

asr-002215
01:38:18.700 --> 01:38:22.540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: It will address that and incentivize good performance

asr-002216
01:38:22.540 --> 01:38:26.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para proactively mabawasan yung sense of commission

asr-002217
01:38:26.240 --> 01:38:31.320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at proactively ma-incentivize yung performance.

asr-002218
01:38:32.440 --> 01:38:36.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, I just wanted to bring that up

asr-002219
01:38:36.100 --> 01:38:38.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and rest assured lahat po nung binanggit ninyo,

asr-002220
01:38:38.720 --> 01:38:39.560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: naka-record po yan,

asr-002221
01:38:40.200 --> 01:38:42.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at nandito po yung ating vice chair

asr-002222
01:38:42.660 --> 01:38:47.340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at malalaman nyo rin po kung ano yung mga changes

asr-002223
01:38:47.340 --> 01:38:50.780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that we will recommend to address all those concerns.

asr-002224
01:38:51.200 --> 01:38:51.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Salamat po.

asr-002225
01:38:51.880 --> 01:38:54.720
John Castillo: Thank you very much, Senior Vice Chair Abbott-Garcia.

asr-002226
01:38:54.720 --> 01:38:58.920
John Castillo: And to all our Vice Chair of the House Committee on Appropriations

asr-002227
01:38:58.920 --> 01:39:02.840
John Castillo: for engaging with the concerns of our CSO partners

asr-002228
01:39:02.840 --> 01:39:08.980
John Castillo: and answering their proposals raised by our civil society partners.

asr-002229
01:39:09.140 --> 01:39:11.680
John Castillo: Later on, we will discuss more about strengthening

asr-002230
01:39:11.680 --> 01:39:14.360
John Castillo: the participatory budget mechanisms,

asr-002231
01:39:14.640 --> 01:39:16.400
John Castillo: including the Philippine Budgeting Code.

asr-002232
01:39:17.040 --> 01:39:20.600
John Castillo: But for now, I think, as you all see,

asr-002233
01:39:20.720 --> 01:39:25.360
John Castillo: this exchange have been an important spirit of today's activity.

asr-002234
01:39:25.640 --> 01:39:27.660
John Castillo: Like, we listen from one another.

asr-002235
01:39:28.180 --> 01:39:30.820
John Castillo: We may come from different institutions and sectors,

asr-002236
01:39:31.280 --> 01:39:35.900
John Castillo: but meaningful budget-making requires that we listen to one another.

asr-002237
01:39:36.360 --> 01:39:40.360
John Castillo: So now, we move to the next major segment of our program.

asr-002238
01:39:40.360 --> 01:39:41.560
John Castillo: I think the launch is being...

asr-002239
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

asr-002240
01:39:48.760 --> 01:39:54.900
John Castillo: about CSO proposals on strengthening people's participation on the national budget.

asr-002241
01:39:55.400 --> 01:39:57.360
John Castillo: So how are we going about it?

asr-002242
01:39:57.820 --> 01:40:04.960
John Castillo: Again, if our CSO partners have their proposals, concerns, and recommendation

asr-002243
01:40:04.960 --> 01:40:09.200
John Castillo: on how to strengthen people's participation in the budget process,

asr-002244
01:40:09.200 --> 01:40:11.320
John Castillo: you may take the floor.

asr-002245
01:40:11.680 --> 01:40:13.680
John Castillo: If you have any questions, please raise your concerns.

asr-002246
01:40:13.680 --> 01:40:15.680
John Castillo: We will limit it again to two to three minutes.

asr-002247
01:40:15.680 --> 01:40:17.680
John Castillo: You can raise your hands or signify.

asr-002248
01:40:17.680 --> 01:40:23.680
John Castillo: I think I saw already Sir Tim to raise his concern.

asr-002249
01:40:23.680 --> 01:40:25.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Yes po, salamat.

asr-002250
01:40:25.680 --> 01:40:27.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: I need to leave na rin.

asr-002251
01:40:27.680 --> 01:40:29.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: [unclear] ako na alis ako ng 12.

asr-002252
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.

asr-002253
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

asr-002254
01:40:40.680 --> 01:40:41.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: with the CSOs.

asr-002255
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.

asr-002256
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,

asr-002257
01:40:54.680 --> 01:40:56.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: as well as sa DPWH.

asr-002258
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.

asr-002259
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.

asr-002260
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,

asr-002261
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,

asr-002262
01:41:16.680 --> 01:41:18.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: yung DBM at DPWH.

asr-002263
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,

asr-002264
01:41:23.680 --> 01:41:27.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: nung OP naman, I understand nagbigay ng parliamentary courtesy.

asr-002265
01:41:27.680 --> 01:41:30.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So, hindi nabasa yung OP questions.

asr-002266
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.

asr-002267
01:41:34.680 --> 01:41:35.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: I mean, anyway.

asr-002268
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,

asr-002269
01:41:39.680 --> 01:41:41.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: weren't also asked.

asr-002270
01:41:41.680 --> 01:41:44.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Hindi ko alam what is the reason for the inconsistencies?

asr-002271
01:41:44.680 --> 01:41:47.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: And what can we do moving forward?

asr-002272
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.

asr-002273
01:41:53.680 --> 01:41:56.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Nagre-research din naman kami.

asr-002274
01:41:56.680 --> 01:42:00.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So baka pwede ninyo i-forward kasi [unclear] nakakaligtaan.

asr-002275
01:42:00.680 --> 01:42:02.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Baka kasi ang haba na ng hearing.

asr-002276
01:42:02.680 --> 01:42:04.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: I understand seven hours na yung DA.

asr-002277
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.

asr-002278
01:42:08.680 --> 01:42:09.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: So at least yun lang po muna.

asr-002279
01:42:09.680 --> 01:42:10.680
CODE-NGO Project Coordinator Timothy Salomon: Salamat.

asr-002280
01:42:10.680 --> 01:42:22.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Well, actually that was my agency nung first na sumagot po.

asr-002281
01:42:22.420 --> 01:42:26.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But yung sagot po ni Chair Mika Suansing,

asr-002282
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.

asr-002283
01:42:31.420 --> 01:42:36.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So actually, CPBRD, I think you have to answer it

asr-002284
01:42:36.420 --> 01:42:39.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kasi hindi rin po namin alam kung anong nangyari

asr-002285
01:42:39.420 --> 01:42:42.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kasi dapat po pinasa po sa amin

asr-002286
01:42:42.420 --> 01:42:44.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: with every agency.

asr-002287
01:42:44.420 --> 01:42:47.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So nung nakita po namin yun,

asr-002288
01:42:47.420 --> 01:42:50.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nalaman po namin

asr-002289
01:42:50.420 --> 01:42:54.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kaya po nag-explain kaagad si Chair Mika Suansing na

asr-002290
01:42:54.420 --> 01:42:59.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nagulat din po ako na first time na nabasa yung inyong katanungan.

asr-002291
01:42:59.420 --> 01:43:01.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So we apologize for that.

asr-002292
01:43:01.420 --> 01:43:04.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But on the part of the Appro Committee,

asr-002293
01:43:04.420 --> 01:43:09.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: wala po kaming natanggap na mga tanong galing po sa inyo.

asr-002294
01:43:09.420 --> 01:43:11.420
John Castillo: Okay, thank you, Kong Arne, for that input.

asr-002295
01:43:11.420 --> 01:43:17.420
John Castillo: May we call on the members of anyone available from the task force

asr-002296
01:43:17.420 --> 01:43:19.420
John Castillo: on people's participation?

asr-002297
01:43:19.420 --> 01:43:24.420
John Castillo: Because as I made aware, one of the things that needs to happen first

asr-002298
01:43:24.420 --> 01:43:28.420
John Castillo: is to the guidelines and the task force.

asr-002299
01:43:28.420 --> 01:43:30.420
John Castillo: But I'm really not sure.

asr-002300
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.

asr-002301
01:43:37.420 --> 01:43:44.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: The question is...

asr-002302
01:43:44.090 --> 01:43:45.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: For us, kasi it's...

asr-002303
01:43:46.090 --> 01:43:47.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: It's...

asr-002304
01:43:47.090 --> 01:43:48.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: It's...

asr-002305
01:43:48.090 --> 01:43:49.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Hindi na kailangang tanungin 'yun eh.

asr-002306
01:43:49.090 --> 01:43:51.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I mean, if you have questions, we read it.

asr-002307
01:43:51.090 --> 01:43:54.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So let the Secretary answer it.

asr-002308
01:43:54.090 --> 01:43:58.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But I'll answer lang as the resource person.

asr-002309
01:43:58.090 --> 01:43:59.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I think we have to study it.

asr-002310
01:43:59.090 --> 01:44:02.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kasi sa rules po namin talaga,

asr-002311
01:44:02.090 --> 01:44:06.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: usually, ginigrill po namin,

asr-002312
01:44:06.090 --> 01:44:10.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: tinatanong namin is yung mga nasa agency, nagtatrabaho po sa gobyerno.

asr-002313
01:44:10.090 --> 01:44:14.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But nevertheless, yung ginagawa po natin ngayon na nagtatanong po kayo

asr-002314
01:44:14.090 --> 01:44:17.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: at sinasagot naman po nila,

asr-002315
01:44:17.090 --> 01:44:19.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: binabasa po namin,

asr-002316
01:44:19.090 --> 01:44:21.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: is nakakapag-participate po kayo.

asr-002317
01:44:21.090 --> 01:44:24.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I don't think lang nasa rules po ng Congress

asr-002318
01:44:24.090 --> 01:44:27.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: na puwede po kayo maging resource person

asr-002319
01:44:27.090 --> 01:44:33.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: dahil ang resource person po talaga during the budget season,

asr-002320
01:44:33.090 --> 01:44:37.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung po talaga ang agency na nagde-defend ng budget po nila.

asr-002321
01:44:37.090 --> 01:44:40.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And even agency na humihingi,

asr-002322
01:44:40.090 --> 01:44:42.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we call it, hirit,

asr-002323
01:44:42.090 --> 01:44:46.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: na baka po hindi po napag-aralan talaga ng DBM

asr-002324
01:44:46.090 --> 01:44:51.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa dami po ng fiscal space is masyadong masikip.

asr-002325
01:44:51.090 --> 01:44:55.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So ganoon po yung mga nangyayari.

asr-002326
01:44:55.090 --> 01:44:58.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, but any questions naman po na galing sa inyo,

asr-002327
01:44:58.090 --> 01:45:00.090
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we are very much willing to read it.

asr-002328
01:45:00.140 --> 01:45:02.060
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: and let them answer

asr-002329
01:45:02.060 --> 01:45:02.980
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: para maging

asr-002330
01:45:02.980 --> 01:45:05.960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: maklaro po sa atin yung mga issues

asr-002331
01:45:05.960 --> 01:45:08.020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng bawat agency sa ating

asr-002332
01:45:08.020 --> 01:45:09.180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pong gobyerno.

asr-002333
01:45:15.810 --> 01:45:18.930
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Number one, kaya nga sasabi ko

asr-002334
01:45:18.930 --> 01:45:20.830
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: dapat ang sumagot

asr-002335
01:45:20.830 --> 01:45:21.270
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ang

asr-002336
01:45:21.270 --> 01:45:23.970
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: CPBRD

asr-002337
01:45:23.970 --> 01:45:26.710
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: but hindi po nakarating po sa amin.

asr-002338
01:45:27.730 --> 01:45:29.030
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Yes, kindly answer it.

asr-002339
01:45:29.030 --> 01:45:32.870
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Okay, sir. We will wait for

asr-002340
01:45:32.870 --> 01:45:34.130
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: their response.

asr-002341
01:45:36.930 --> 01:45:38.450
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Miscommunication,

asr-002342
01:45:39.010 --> 01:45:40.170
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: misunderstand, ano ba yan?

asr-002343
01:45:40.350 --> 01:45:41.190
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Hindi ko maintindihan eh.

asr-002344
01:45:41.530 --> 01:45:44.270
John Castillo: As we had the process earlier,

asr-002345
01:45:44.430 --> 01:45:46.050
John Castillo: we will hear all our concerns

asr-002346
01:45:46.050 --> 01:45:48.050
John Castillo: and then we will

asr-002347
01:45:48.050 --> 01:45:50.390
John Castillo: consolidate it and answer it as a panel

asr-002348
01:45:50.390 --> 01:45:52.250
John Castillo: and as we prepare

asr-002349
01:45:52.250 --> 01:45:54.210
John Castillo: for this one,

asr-002350
01:45:54.290 --> 01:45:56.150
John Castillo: for the concern of

asr-002351
01:45:56.150 --> 01:45:58.430
John Castillo: Mr. Thiem, we have a message

asr-002352
01:45:58.430 --> 01:45:59.150
John Castillo: from

asr-002361
01:46:16.610 --> 01:46:18.810
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: the hearing because I was

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: part of the 3.5 billion

asr-002363
01:46:20.610 --> 01:46:22.070

01:46:24.210 --> 01:46:26.450

asr-002372
01:46:39.570 --> 01:46:41.470
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: So I'm sure that was not 3.5

asr-002373
01:46:41.470 --> 01:46:43.010
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: B on those four days.

asr-002385
01:47:06.930 --> 01:47:08.450
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: Because we still have a number of

asr-002386
01:47:08.450 --> 01:47:10.010
Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.: briefings before the plenary.

asr-002435
01:48:44.170 --> 01:48:46.650

asr-002436
01:48:46.650 --> 01:48:48.290
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: It's a grassroot level

asr-002437
01:48:48.290 --> 01:48:50.130
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: of a budgeting process.

asr-002449
01:49:06.330 --> 01:49:08.810

asr-002450
01:49:08.930 --> 01:49:10.430
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: or we encourage the lawmakers

asr-002451
01:49:10.430 --> 01:49:13.450
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: to adopt this kind of budget process

asr-002465
01:49:38.210 --> 01:49:40.970
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: or the adoption of the lawmakers

asr-002466
01:49:40.970 --> 01:49:42.130
ipaBITAGmo Incorporated Executive Director April Joy Meneses: in the budget process

asr-002467
01:49:42.130 --> 01:49:43.810

01:49:50.450 --> 01:49:56.450
John Castillo: with respect to the people's participation mechanism?

asr-002471
01:49:56.450 --> 01:49:58.650
John Castillo: How can we strengthen this?

asr-002472
01:49:58.650 --> 01:50:01.090
John Castillo: Yes, sir, AJ Montesa

asr-002473
01:50:01.090 --> 01:50:06.080
John Castillo: from People's Budget Coalition.

asr-002474
01:50:06.080 --> 01:50:07.800
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Yes. Good morning.

asr-002475
01:50:07.800 --> 01:50:08.400
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Good morning again, po.

asr-002476
01:50:08.400 --> 01:50:10.000
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So, I'd like to, again,

asr-002477
01:50:10.000 --> 01:50:11.680
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: thank you, po, for acknowledging.

asr-002478
01:50:11.680 --> 01:50:12.920
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: I think it's worth acknowledging

asr-002479
01:50:12.920 --> 01:50:14.960
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that you admitted the mistake

asr-002480
01:50:14.960 --> 01:50:16.280
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: or the miscommunication that happened.

asr-002481
01:50:16.280 --> 01:50:18.320
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So, we're grateful that moving forward,

asr-002482
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.

asr-002483
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

asr-002484
01:50:24.120 --> 01:50:26.320
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: where the root of the problem was,

asr-002485
01:50:26.320 --> 01:50:28.320
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: there was a House resolution last year

asr-002486
01:50:28.320 --> 01:50:29.880
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that really defined the structure,

asr-002487
01:50:29.880 --> 01:50:31.640
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the rules, the procedure.

asr-002488
01:50:31.640 --> 01:50:32.920
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So, perhaps that's something

asr-002489
01:50:32.920 --> 01:50:35.000
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that the House leadership can consider.

asr-002490
01:50:35.000 --> 01:50:35.800
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Baka pwede po,

asr-002491
01:50:35.800 --> 01:50:37.600
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: because that House resolution covered

asr-002492
01:50:37.600 --> 01:50:40.200
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: the 2026 budget cycle.

asr-002493
01:50:40.200 --> 01:50:41.200
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So, maybe this time

asr-002494
01:50:41.200 --> 01:50:43.600
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: it's worth passing another House resolution

asr-002495
01:50:43.600 --> 01:50:44.800
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: to cover this budget cycle

asr-002496
01:50:44.800 --> 01:50:45.760
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: or even the next one

asr-002497
01:50:45.760 --> 01:50:48.080
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: to make it more institutionalized.

asr-002498
01:50:48.080 --> 01:50:49.120
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: And I understand, I think,

asr-002499
01:50:49.120 --> 01:50:50.360
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: that there's legislation now

asr-002500
01:50:50.360 --> 01:50:52.320
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: for the Philippine Budgeting Code.

asr-002501
01:50:52.320 --> 01:50:54.920
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So, we hope that the more structured

asr-002502
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

asr-002503
01:50:56.920 --> 01:50:59.960
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: because, of course, even after this year,

asr-002504
01:50:59.960 --> 01:51:01.560
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: we hope na magpapatuloy po siya

asr-002505
01:51:01.560 --> 01:51:03.080
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: in a more structured way

asr-002506
01:51:03.080 --> 01:51:04.840
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: para clear po yung, for us,

asr-002507
01:51:04.840 --> 01:51:06.440
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: what we can expect and everything.

asr-002508
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,

asr-002509
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

asr-002510
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.

asr-002511
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

asr-002512
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

asr-002513
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

asr-002514
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

asr-002515
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.

asr-002516
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

asr-002517
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

asr-002518
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

asr-002519
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

asr-002520
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

asr-002521
01:52:02.960 --> 01:52:04.540
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: stream na pala yung BARSc.

asr-002522
01:52:04.540 --> 01:52:04.920
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So,

asr-002523
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,

asr-002524
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,

asr-002525
01:52:09.760 --> 01:52:11.040
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: sana po itulo yung live stream,

asr-002526
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,

asr-002527
01:52:13.440 --> 01:52:16.160
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: sana po we can transparently see, track,

asr-002528
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,

asr-002529
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

asr-002530
01:52:24.260 --> 01:52:26.660
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: are not yet posted on the website.

asr-002531
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.

asr-002532
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,

asr-002533
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

asr-002534
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.

asr-002535
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,

asr-002536
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.

asr-002537
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,

asr-002538
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.

asr-002539
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,

asr-002540
01:52:54.420 --> 01:52:56.760
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: we will be happy to provide additional,

asr-002541
01:52:57.280 --> 01:53:00.280
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: almost like staffing as civil society,

asr-002542
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.

asr-002543
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.

asr-002544
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

asr-002545
01:53:09.720 --> 01:53:12.260
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: machine-readable formats.

asr-002546
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,

asr-002547
01:53:15.560 --> 01:53:16.700
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: it's easy to track them.

asr-002548
01:53:17.160 --> 01:53:18.300
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: May standardized codes.

asr-002549
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,

asr-002550
01:53:23.120 --> 01:53:23.480
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: yung UACS.

asr-002551
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,

asr-002552
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.

asr-002553
01:53:30.980 --> 01:53:33.280
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: Rather than PDFs, which are very difficult,

asr-002554
01:53:33.280 --> 01:53:34.340
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: difficult to work with,

asr-002555
01:53:35.000 --> 01:53:36.120
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: mahirap po siya i-scan.

asr-002556
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,

asr-002557
01:53:39.020 --> 01:53:40.960
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: some of the recommendations that we have.

asr-002558
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,

asr-002559
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.

asr-002560
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,

asr-002561
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.

asr-002562
01:53:51.920 --> 01:53:53.020
People's Budget Coalition Co-convenor Adolfo Jose Montesa: So yun lamang po. Salamat.

asr-002563
01:53:53.400 --> 01:53:56.080
John Castillo: Thank you, Sir AJ, from People's Budget Coalition.

asr-002564
01:53:56.340 --> 01:54:02.700
John Castillo: Any other concerns with respect to strengthening people's participation

asr-002565
01:54:03.280 --> 01:54:04.660
John Castillo: on the national budget?

asr-002566
01:54:08.620 --> 01:54:12.140
John Castillo: Hearing none, may we call on our panelists

asr-002567
01:54:14.140 --> 01:54:18.860
John Castillo: to share their observation, feedbacks with respect to how

asr-002568
01:54:18.860 --> 01:54:21.720
John Castillo: to strengthen the people's participation

asr-002569
01:54:21.720 --> 01:54:22.820
John Castillo: on the national budget?

asr-002570
01:54:22.940 --> 01:54:23.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yeah.

asr-002571
01:54:23.240 --> 01:54:23.820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you.

asr-002572
01:54:24.360 --> 01:54:27.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you very much for all the suggestion, and keep in mind

asr-002573
01:54:27.800 --> 01:54:31.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that all those that you've suggested are well taken

asr-002574
01:54:32.260 --> 01:54:34.880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and will be considered seriously.

asr-002575
01:54:34.880 --> 01:54:35.940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Dun po sa unang concern.

asr-002576
01:54:35.940 --> 01:54:37.980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kung bakit hindi nabasa.

asr-002577
01:54:37.980 --> 01:54:42.400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Sa amin, simple lang po.

asr-002578
01:54:42.400 --> 01:54:45.280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kung nakarating walang problema sa ating mga vice chair,

asr-002579
01:54:45.280 --> 01:54:47.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: babasahin po namin talaga.

asr-002580
01:54:47.480 --> 01:54:53.020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Pero siguro dahil nagsimula, tapos busy na lahat

asr-002581
01:54:53.020 --> 01:54:59.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with the respective departments na idedefend,

asr-002582
01:54:59.460 --> 01:55:02.780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: syempre inaaral po yan, hindi nakarating,

asr-002583
01:55:02.780 --> 01:55:05.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: so hindi po nabasa.

asr-002584
01:55:05.460 --> 01:56:04.490
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Pero ang probably in the next,

asr-002585
01:56:04.850 --> 01:56:05.850
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: few days.

asr-002586
01:56:05.850 --> 01:56:10.510
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Dahil kailangan natin mag-BARSc and executive committee meeting

asr-002587
01:56:10.510 --> 01:56:13.570
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: before the start of the plenary.

asr-002588
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?

asr-002589
01:56:18.670 --> 01:56:21.170
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So we will have the BARSc before that.

asr-002590
01:56:21.170 --> 01:56:22.170
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you.

asr-002591
01:56:22.170 --> 01:56:24.170
John Castillo: Thank you, Senior Vice Chair.

asr-002592
01:56:24.170 --> 01:56:25.170
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Can I add lang?

asr-002593
01:56:25.170 --> 01:56:26.170
John Castillo: Yes, Kong Arnie, sir.

asr-002594
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.

asr-002599
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,

asr-002600
01:56:48.740 --> 01:56:53.340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pero kung wala pong official na sulat, hindi po 'yan pag-uusapan.

asr-002601
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

asr-002602
01:57:02.610 --> 01:57:04.490
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: by the head of the agency.

asr-002603
01:57:08.870 --> 01:57:09.520
John Castillo: Okay.

asr-002604
01:57:09.520 --> 01:57:12.400
John Castillo: for that clarification, Vice Chair Arnie.

asr-002605
01:57:13.080 --> 01:57:16.140
John Castillo: Any other concerns from our panelists?

asr-002606
01:57:18.400 --> 01:57:21.200
John Castillo: From our CSO participants?

asr-002607
01:57:22.860 --> 01:57:29.940
John Castillo: I think our, currently, our event is being,

asr-002608
01:57:30.020 --> 01:57:36.180
John Castillo: Yes, yes, sir, from Philippine Association of Agriculturists, Inc.

asr-002609
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,

asr-002610
01:57:39.140 --> 01:57:41.260
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: next year po, siguro [unclear],

asr-002611
01:57:41.320 --> 01:57:42.600
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: dapat sa DBCC pa lang

asr-002612
01:57:43.080 --> 01:57:44.620
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: kasama na po ang CSO.

asr-002613
01:57:44.820 --> 01:57:45.380
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Yun lang po yung

asr-002614
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

asr-002615
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

asr-002616
01:57:51.080 --> 01:57:52.700
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: kasi on the budget matters,

asr-002617
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.

asr-002618
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

asr-002619
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.

asr-002620
01:58:01.200 --> 01:58:02.140
Philippine Association of Agriculturists NCR Chapter President Al Christian R. Hilario: Yun lang po, maraming salamat.

asr-002621
01:58:02.160 --> 01:58:03.520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Absolutely, you're very much welcome, no?

asr-002622
01:58:03.520 --> 01:58:06.160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So wala namang problema po sa Appro Committee 'yun.

asr-002623
01:58:06.180 --> 01:58:08.320
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kung makarating po agad yung questions,

asr-002624
01:58:08.680 --> 01:58:11.160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: then we will read it and they can answer.

asr-002625
01:58:11.760 --> 01:58:13.800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So just to clarify lang po.

asr-002626
01:58:14.080 --> 01:58:22.090
John Castillo: Thank you, Sir Al Christian.

asr-002627
01:58:22.490 --> 01:58:24.730
John Castillo: And that's a very helpful suggestion

asr-002628
01:58:24.730 --> 01:58:26.890
John Castillo: to look into the DBCC process

asr-002629
01:58:26.890 --> 01:58:29.090
John Castillo: because that's where things begin.

asr-002630
01:58:30.090 --> 01:58:34.370
John Castillo: Here, it's like NEP submission and evaluation

asr-002631
01:58:34.370 --> 01:58:35.850
John Castillo: of what's already there.

asr-002632
01:58:36.290 --> 01:58:37.800
John Castillo: Yes, just...

asr-002633
01:58:53.690 --> 01:58:55.610
John Castillo: So, at this point,

asr-002634
01:58:55.630 --> 01:58:59.650
John Castillo: we will have a 15-minute break for lunch

asr-002635
01:58:59.650 --> 01:59:02.130
John Castillo: so that we can enjoy our lunch more.

asr-002636
01:59:02.350 --> 01:59:05.390
John Castillo: While our panelists will have to attend to something

asr-002637
01:59:05.390 --> 01:59:09.590
John Castillo: that's a very important or urgent matter.

asr-002638
01:59:09.690 --> 01:59:11.270
John Castillo: But they will return, of course.

asr-002639
01:59:11.730 --> 01:59:13.910
John Castillo: Thank you very much, our panelists,

asr-002640
01:59:14.070 --> 01:59:15.350
John Castillo: SVC Abbott,

asr-002641
01:59:15.690 --> 01:59:18.630
John Castillo: and all our vice chairpersons from the Committee on APRO.

asr-002642
01:59:19.130 --> 01:59:26.380
John Castillo: At this point, also, may we remind

asr-002643
01:59:26.380 --> 01:59:30.260
John Castillo: our CSO partners who raised their position

asr-002644
01:59:30.560 --> 01:59:31.800
John Castillo: at their comments

asr-002645
01:59:31.800 --> 01:59:35.740
John Castillo: to submit their position papers.

asr-002646
01:59:36.480 --> 01:59:37.340
John Castillo: Or if it's already,

asr-002647
01:59:37.720 --> 01:59:39.740
John Castillo: we can ask our documentation team

asr-002648
01:59:39.740 --> 01:59:42.540
John Castillo: to screenshot your...

asr-002649
01:59:42.540 --> 01:59:45.140
John Castillo: whatever reference that you may have

asr-002650
01:59:45.140 --> 01:59:47.160
John Castillo: that you wish to share with us today.

asr-002651
01:59:47.520 --> 01:59:50.740
John Castillo: But better if you will email it formally to us,

asr-002652
01:59:51.100 --> 01:59:53.840
John Castillo: to the Task Force on People's Participation.

asr-002653
01:59:54.240 --> 01:59:55.720
John Castillo: Thank you very much.

asr-002654
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.

asr-002655
02:00:07.980 --> 02:00:12.280
John Castillo: I hope you had your lunch and are ready for our next segment.

asr-002656
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.

asr-002657
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,

John Castillo: Honorable Representative Monique Lagdameo.

asr-002661
02:00:54.020 --> 02:01:03.640
John Castillo: Thank you very much for coming to this event.

asr-002662
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,

asr-002663
02:01:19.110 --> 02:01:26.210
John Castillo: Honorable Representative Albert S. Garcia, to discuss and present about the people's budget.

asr-002664
02:01:26.230 --> 02:01:28.310
John Castillo: The Philippine Budgeting Code.

asr-002665
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.

asr-002666
02:01:37.330 --> 02:01:40.670
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I hope everyone has had their lunch.

asr-002667
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.

asr-002668
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.

asr-002669
02:02:10.660 --> 02:02:11.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: We learned a lot from this conversation.

asr-002670
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

asr-002671
02:03:37.200 --> 02:03:38.020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: cumbersome

asr-002672
02:03:38.020 --> 02:03:39.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to get

asr-002676
02:03:39.000 --> 02:03:39.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: all the

asr-002677
02:03:39.700 --> 02:03:42.280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: data, all the video.

asr-002678
02:03:43.060 --> 02:03:45.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, ilalagay

asr-002679
02:03:45.220 --> 02:03:46.260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na lang po sa isang

asr-002680
02:03:46.260 --> 02:03:47.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: portal.

asr-002681
02:03:48.860 --> 02:03:50.200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Lahat ng presentations

asr-002682
02:03:50.200 --> 02:03:51.740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng bawat department.

asr-002683
02:03:52.620 --> 02:03:55.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And itatry po lahat ng video rin po

asr-002684
02:03:55.000 --> 02:03:56.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: habang natatapos yung

asr-002685
02:03:56.860 --> 02:03:58.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mga hearings. Kasi nakalive po lahat yan.

asr-002686
02:03:59.780 --> 02:04:01.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Itatry din ilagay

asr-002687
02:04:01.080 --> 02:04:02.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa isang portal.

asr-002688
02:04:02.960 --> 02:04:04.260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Para when you do the research,

asr-002689
02:04:04.800 --> 02:04:06.280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: nasa isang source na lang po.

asr-002690
02:04:06.840 --> 02:04:08.340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And thank you for that suggestion.

asr-002691
02:04:08.340 --> 02:04:10.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, si ComSec

asr-002692
02:04:10.120 --> 02:04:12.560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Leo ng APRO will be coordinating

asr-002693
02:04:12.560 --> 02:04:14.260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with Dr. Miral

asr-002694
02:04:14.260 --> 02:04:16.200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to put up that site.

asr-002695
02:04:16.640 --> 02:04:18.340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And hopefully, mauna yung data

asr-002696
02:04:18.340 --> 02:04:20.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: then eventually yung mga video.

asr-002697
02:04:23.340 --> 02:04:24.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I would like

asr-002698
02:04:24.480 --> 02:04:26.140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to brush on briefly

asr-002699
02:04:26.140 --> 02:04:28.420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with regards to the meritocracy

asr-002700
02:04:28.420 --> 02:04:30.340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: because it answers a lot of

asr-002701
02:04:30.340 --> 02:04:32.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the concerns that

asr-002702
02:04:32.060 --> 02:04:34.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: we are raising.

asr-002703
02:04:35.780 --> 02:04:37.300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Galawang bagay po ito.

asr-002704
02:04:37.300 --> 02:04:38.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yung

asr-002705
02:04:38.060 --> 02:04:40.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budget code which has

asr-002706
02:04:40.240 --> 02:04:42.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: a component of meritocracy

asr-002707
02:04:42.440 --> 02:04:44.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para masakop yung national government

asr-002708
02:04:44.440 --> 02:04:46.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at yung amendment to the

asr-002709
02:04:46.500 --> 02:04:48.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: seal of good local governance

asr-002710
02:04:48.180 --> 02:04:50.160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to professionalize

asr-002711
02:04:50.160 --> 02:04:51.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: local

asr-002712
02:04:51.800 --> 02:04:54.340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: governance as a whole from the

asr-002713
02:04:54.340 --> 02:04:56.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: barangay, munisipyo,

asr-002714
02:04:56.840 --> 02:04:58.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: city,

asr-002715
02:04:58.980 --> 02:05:00.320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and province para

asr-002716
02:05:00.320 --> 02:05:02.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: maging on the same page. So, I mentioned

asr-002717
02:05:02.580 --> 02:05:04.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: earlier na ito pong

asr-002718
02:05:04.860 --> 02:05:05.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: meritocracy

asr-002719
02:05:05.680 --> 02:05:07.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: captures

asr-002720
02:05:08.060 --> 02:05:10.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: in a mathematical

asr-002721
02:05:10.240 --> 02:05:12.200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: equation yung ambisyon natin

asr-002722
02:05:12.200 --> 02:05:14.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 2040. So, you might be wondering

asr-002723
02:05:14.480 --> 02:05:16.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ano yung mathematical equation

asr-002724
02:05:16.380 --> 02:05:18.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na yun? And we consider

asr-002725
02:05:18.440 --> 02:05:19.020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: this

asr-002726
02:05:19.020 --> 02:05:21.840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: as an elegant

asr-002727
02:05:21.840 --> 02:05:22.940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: equation.

asr-002728
02:05:24.160 --> 02:05:26.280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: If I may say so, parang

asr-002729
02:05:26.280 --> 02:05:27.980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: E equals MC squared.

asr-002730
02:05:28.400 --> 02:05:28.840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Parang ganon.

asr-002731
02:05:30.700 --> 02:05:34.540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, why did we do this?

asr-002732
02:05:35.920 --> 02:05:36.260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Para

asr-002733
02:05:36.260 --> 02:05:37.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: measurable

asr-002734
02:05:37.800 --> 02:05:38.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and

asr-002735
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.

asr-002736
02:05:39.920 --> 02:05:41.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, we're able to measure it sa mga management

asr-002737
02:05:41.920 --> 02:05:44.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: expert, we're able to

asr-002738
02:05:44.000 --> 02:05:45.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: improve it.

asr-002739
02:05:46.740 --> 02:05:47.760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, yung equation po

asr-002740
02:05:47.760 --> 02:05:50.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is what we

asr-002741
02:05:50.080 --> 02:05:51.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: call HDI

asr-002742
02:05:51.480 --> 02:05:52.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: plus plus.

asr-002743
02:05:53.940 --> 02:05:55.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, a lot of us

asr-002744
02:05:55.700 --> 02:05:57.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: know what HDI

asr-002745
02:05:57.660 --> 02:06:00.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is. It's a globally recognized

asr-002746
02:06:00.060 --> 02:06:01.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: measure for quality of life.

asr-002747
02:06:02.460 --> 02:06:03.520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Tatlo yung pillars niya.

asr-002748
02:06:04.500 --> 02:06:05.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Education,

asr-002749
02:06:06.160 --> 02:06:08.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: health, and per capita income.

asr-002750
02:06:08.080 --> 02:06:09.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, jobs and local economy.

asr-002751
02:06:09.920 --> 02:06:12.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Tapos, dinagdagan natin ng isang plus

asr-002752
02:06:12.000 --> 02:06:12.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para mas

asr-002753
02:06:12.700 --> 02:06:15.420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mat-tweak natin in our setting

asr-002754
02:06:15.420 --> 02:06:17.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that first plus is peace and order

asr-002755
02:06:17.600 --> 02:06:19.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: including accidents

asr-002756
02:06:19.460 --> 02:06:21.260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: dahil major cost

asr-002757
02:06:21.260 --> 02:06:24.260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng threat

asr-002758
02:06:24.260 --> 02:06:24.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to life

asr-002759
02:06:24.920 --> 02:06:28.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa young age

asr-002760
02:06:28.060 --> 02:06:29.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: group, katulad ni Vice Chair

asr-002761
02:06:29.660 --> 02:06:30.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Arnie.

asr-002762
02:06:31.640 --> 02:06:34.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And the second plus

asr-002763
02:06:34.100 --> 02:06:35.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is very important

asr-002764
02:06:35.700 --> 02:06:37.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: globally at napaka-importante

asr-002765
02:06:37.700 --> 02:06:39.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa setting ng Pilipinas

asr-002766
02:06:39.040 --> 02:06:39.880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is

asr-002767
02:06:39.920 --> 02:06:41.360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: affordability.

asr-002768
02:06:41.900 --> 02:06:44.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Hindi inflation, although inflation has a lot

asr-002769
02:06:44.220 --> 02:06:45.840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to do with it, but who

asr-002770
02:06:45.840 --> 02:06:48.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: understands inflation?

asr-002771
02:06:48.480 --> 02:06:50.900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, affordability, dahil naintindihan natin

asr-002772
02:06:50.900 --> 02:06:52.740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung presyo ng basic commodities

asr-002773
02:06:52.740 --> 02:06:54.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na binibili natin sa ating

asr-002774
02:06:54.580 --> 02:06:56.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: supermarket or public

asr-002775
02:06:56.720 --> 02:06:58.820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: market. So, itong lima na ito

asr-002776
02:06:58.820 --> 02:07:00.940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is the summation

asr-002777
02:07:00.940 --> 02:07:03.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: essentially

asr-002778
02:07:03.060 --> 02:07:04.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of ambition natin

asr-002779
02:07:04.380 --> 02:07:07.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 2040. To improve

asr-002780
02:07:07.040 --> 02:07:08.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the life of every

asr-002781

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Filipino.

asr-002782
02:07:09.920 --> 02:07:11.300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: In context.

asr-002783
02:07:12.160 --> 02:07:14.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, aggregated po siya sa national

asr-002784
02:07:14.220 --> 02:07:15.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: level, which

asr-002785
02:07:15.800 --> 02:07:17.940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: dahil mathematical equation na siya

asr-002786
02:07:17.940 --> 02:07:19.980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pwedeng ma-disaggregate to

asr-002787
02:07:19.980 --> 02:07:21.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the regional level

asr-002788
02:07:21.220 --> 02:07:23.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para makita natin yung performance

asr-002789
02:07:23.440 --> 02:07:25.880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng mga regions, which

asr-002790
02:07:25.880 --> 02:07:28.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: can further be disaggregated

asr-002791
02:07:28.000 --> 02:07:29.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to the provincial level

asr-002792
02:07:29.600 --> 02:07:31.160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para makita rin natin yung

asr-002793
02:07:31.160 --> 02:07:33.820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: performance ng mga probinsya

asr-002794
02:07:33.820 --> 02:07:35.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and reward

asr-002795
02:07:35.920 --> 02:07:36.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: accordingly

asr-002796
02:07:36.580 --> 02:07:39.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and can be disaggregated

asr-002797
02:07:39.920 --> 02:07:42.160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to the congressional district level

asr-002798
02:07:42.160 --> 02:07:44.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para makita natin yung performance

asr-002799
02:07:44.660 --> 02:07:46.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng ating district representatives

asr-002800
02:07:46.720 --> 02:07:48.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or party list

asr-002801
02:07:48.040 --> 02:07:49.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: representative

asr-002802
02:07:49.460 --> 02:07:52.320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kasi sinasabi nila yung kongreso

asr-002803
02:07:52.320 --> 02:07:53.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: puro salita lang. Dito,

asr-002804
02:07:54.040 --> 02:07:56.340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mame-measure natin yung performance

asr-002805
02:07:56.340 --> 02:07:58.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng direct representative

asr-002806
02:07:58.440 --> 02:08:00.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of the people

asr-002807
02:08:00.660 --> 02:08:02.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: not just in the national

asr-002808
02:08:02.380 --> 02:08:04.360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budget, but in the national government

asr-002809
02:08:04.360 --> 02:08:06.780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and further disaggregated

asr-002810
02:08:06.780 --> 02:08:07.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to the cities,

asr-002811
02:08:08.720 --> 02:08:09.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: municipalities,

asr-002812
02:08:09.920 --> 02:08:11.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and barangays.

asr-002813
02:08:11.980 --> 02:08:14.320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Imagine measuring that five

asr-002814
02:08:14.320 --> 02:08:16.640
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pillars of quality

asr-002815
02:08:16.640 --> 02:08:18.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of life up to the

asr-002816
02:08:18.440 --> 02:08:20.200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: granular level

asr-002817
02:08:20.200 --> 02:08:21.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of the barangays.

asr-002818
02:08:22.360 --> 02:08:24.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And dahil measurable na siya, by the way,

asr-002819
02:08:24.860 --> 02:08:26.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: may proxy data sources

asr-002820
02:08:26.380 --> 02:08:28.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na ito, which we identified

asr-002821
02:08:28.060 --> 02:08:30.300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and we can identify more

asr-002822
02:08:30.300 --> 02:08:32.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na for the IT

asr-002823
02:08:32.500 --> 02:08:34.300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: experts where

asr-002824
02:08:34.300 --> 02:08:35.900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: data comes to us

asr-002825
02:08:35.900 --> 02:08:38.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: unlike yung mga survey na magastos

asr-002826
02:08:38.800 --> 02:08:39.900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and can be inaccurate.

asr-002827
02:08:39.920 --> 02:08:41.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Where we chase data,

asr-002828
02:08:42.360 --> 02:08:43.300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: dito po baliktad.

asr-002829
02:08:43.940 --> 02:08:46.400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Data comes to us for free

asr-002830
02:08:46.400 --> 02:08:48.900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at kailangan lang ma-analyze

asr-002831
02:08:48.900 --> 02:08:50.160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with the PSA,

asr-002832
02:08:50.280 --> 02:08:52.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: DICT, COA,

asr-002833
02:08:52.240 --> 02:08:54.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para hindi lang process-based, pati outcome-based.

asr-002834
02:08:55.500 --> 02:08:56.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Sinasuggest ko rin po ito

asr-002835
02:08:56.860 --> 02:08:57.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kay ombudsman

asr-002836
02:08:57.920 --> 02:08:59.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Boeing Remolia

asr-002837
02:08:59.240 --> 02:09:02.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para mag-guard, sabi niya kailangan yung ombudsman

asr-002838
02:09:02.660 --> 02:09:04.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to be the guardians of the

asr-002839
02:09:04.440 --> 02:09:06.140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: not of the galaxy,

asr-002840
02:09:06.480 --> 02:09:07.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: but of the budget.

asr-002841
02:09:07.620 --> 02:09:09.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, para mabantayan,

asr-002842
02:09:09.920 --> 02:09:12.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung sins of commission ma-prevent

asr-002843
02:09:12.380 --> 02:09:14.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and sins of omission,

asr-002844
02:09:14.660 --> 02:09:15.560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung performance.

asr-002845
02:09:16.060 --> 02:09:17.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, imagine

asr-002846
02:09:17.120 --> 02:09:18.740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mamimesure natin yun

asr-002847
02:09:18.740 --> 02:09:22.160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: in the very granular level

asr-002848
02:09:22.160 --> 02:09:23.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na pwedeng aggregate

asr-002849
02:09:23.800 --> 02:09:25.840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pataas hanggang sa national level.

asr-002850
02:09:26.300 --> 02:09:26.740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, top

asr-002851
02:09:26.740 --> 02:09:27.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to bottom

asr-002852
02:09:27.800 --> 02:09:29.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and bottom up.

asr-002853
02:09:30.780 --> 02:09:31.340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Context

asr-002854
02:09:31.340 --> 02:09:32.520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: changes

02:09:32.520 --> 02:09:33.740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: everything.

asr-002856
02:09:34.680 --> 02:09:36.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yung pinag-uusapan natin dito

asr-002857
02:09:36.180 --> 02:09:36.940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: national level,

asr-002858
02:09:37.020 --> 02:09:38.540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: so we can talk the whole day.

asr-002859
02:09:39.080 --> 02:09:39.260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Pero,

asr-002860
02:09:39.400 --> 02:09:39.840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kung walang

asr-002862
02:09:39.880 --> 02:09:40.900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: konteksto,

asr-002863
02:09:41.900 --> 02:09:43.940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: we are not really solving

asr-002864
02:09:43.940 --> 02:09:45.920
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the problem. Kailangan

asr-002865
02:09:45.920 --> 02:09:48.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: mapag-usapan natin

asr-002866
02:09:48.060 --> 02:09:50.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: where the rubber hits the road.

asr-002867
02:09:50.180 --> 02:09:52.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So to speak, Vice Chair

asr-002868
02:09:52.060 --> 02:09:54.540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Reynan. So pag ganon,

asr-002869
02:09:54.820 --> 02:09:56.140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and in the bill

asr-002870
02:09:56.140 --> 02:09:57.020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that I mentioned,

asr-002871
02:09:57.740 --> 02:10:00.300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: for every improvement

02:10:00.300 --> 02:10:02.080
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: in HDI++

asr-002873
02:10:02.080 --> 02:10:03.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: per quarter

asr-002874
02:10:03.480 --> 02:10:06.300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: reward. So yung local government support

asr-002875
02:10:06.300 --> 02:10:08.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: fund, pag tapos na tong crisis

asr-002876
02:10:08.460 --> 02:10:10.140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na shotgun, dahil

02:10:10.140 --> 02:10:12.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kailangan natin tulungan lahat, dahil lahat po

asr-002878
02:10:12.120 --> 02:10:14.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ay nagsasuffer.

asr-002879
02:10:14.960 --> 02:10:16.160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: After this,

asr-002880
02:10:16.540 --> 02:10:18.340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pwede nang based on performance.

asr-002881
02:10:18.580 --> 02:10:20.520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yung local government support

asr-002882
02:10:20.520 --> 02:10:21.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: fund, plus

asr-002883
02:10:21.600 --> 02:10:24.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the bottom-up budget process

asr-002884
02:10:24.700 --> 02:10:26.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na yung PAP

asr-002885
02:10:26.060 --> 02:10:27.820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ng barangay

asr-002886
02:10:27.820 --> 02:10:30.840

asr-002887
02:10:31.100 --> 02:10:31.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: PAP ng

asr-002888
02:10:31.800 --> 02:10:33.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: programs.

asr-002889
02:10:34.880 --> 02:10:36.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Na ito essentially yung

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ating national budget,

asr-002891

asr-002901
02:10:59.580 --> 02:11:01.740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sa national agencies,

asr-002904
02:11:05.800 --> 02:11:07.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: budget code projects?

asr-002905

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, nahirapan sagutin

asr-002906

02:11:15.160 --> 02:11:16.260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: talagang all-time

asr-002909
02:11:16.260 --> 02:11:17.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: low

asr-002910
02:11:17.660 --> 02:11:20.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ang reputation

asr-002911
02:11:20.220 --> 02:11:21.600

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: passed into law,

asr-002923
02:11:43.600 --> 02:11:45.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: probably it will be the main

asr-002924
02:11:45.660 --> 02:11:47.540
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: reason to bring back

asr-002925

Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: really that new.

asr-003011
02:14:39.420 --> 02:14:41.600

asr-003013

02:15:12.420 --> 02:15:14.620
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: consolidated, and elevated

asr-003029
02:15:14.620 --> 02:15:16.360
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: from the local to the

asr-003030
02:15:16.360 --> 02:15:17.260
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: regional level.

asr-003031
02:15:18.100 --> 02:15:20.100
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: At the same time, national

asr-003032
02:15:20.100 --> 02:15:22.480
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: agencies formulate their plans

asr-003033
02:15:22.480 --> 02:15:24.180
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and budget proposals

asr-003034
02:15:24.180 --> 02:15:25.920
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: based on their mandates,

asr-003035
02:15:26.580 --> 02:15:27.740
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: sectoral priorities,

asr-003036
02:15:28.540 --> 02:15:29.620
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: technical assessments,

asr-003037
02:15:30.000 --> 02:15:32.440
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and national development objectives.

asr-003038
02:15:33.460 --> 02:15:34.560
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: And at the center

asr-003039
02:15:34.560 --> 02:15:36.620
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: of the national budget process

asr-003040
02:15:36.620 --> 02:15:38.660
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: is the Development Budget

asr-003041
02:15:38.660 --> 02:15:39.960
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Coordination Committee,

asr-003042
02:15:40.480 --> 02:15:42.320
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: or DBCC, where

asr-003043
02:15:42.320 --> 02:15:44.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: fiscal capacity, economic

asr-003044
02:15:44.600 --> 02:15:46.300
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: targets, government

asr-003045
02:15:46.300 --> 02:15:48.540
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: priorities, and the overall

asr-003046
02:15:48.540 --> 02:15:50.080
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: expenditure framework

asr-003047
02:15:50.080 --> 02:15:52.720
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: come together to shape the resources

asr-003048
02:15:52.720 --> 02:15:54.420
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: available for the national

asr-003049
02:15:54.420 --> 02:15:56.440
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: budget. So the

asr-003050
02:15:56.440 --> 02:15:58.660
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: challenge, in my

asr-003051
02:15:58.660 --> 02:15:59.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: opinion, is

asr-003052
02:15:59.980 --> 02:16:01.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: not the absence of bottom-up

asr-003053
02:16:01.980 --> 02:16:04.500
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: participation. The challenge

asr-003054
02:16:04.500 --> 02:16:05.620
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: is harmonization.

asr-003055
02:16:06.640 --> 02:16:07.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: What happens when

asr-003056
02:16:07.980 --> 02:16:10.100
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: priorities identified from the ground

asr-003057
02:16:10.100 --> 02:16:11.840
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: up meet national

asr-003058
02:16:11.840 --> 02:16:13.240
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: agency priorities,

asr-003059
02:16:13.980 --> 02:16:15.880
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: fiscal constraints, and

asr-003060
02:16:15.880 --> 02:16:18.080
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: ultimately the top-down allocation

asr-003061
02:16:18.080 --> 02:16:20.300
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and final prioritization

asr-003062
02:16:20.300 --> 02:16:22.140
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: of programs and projects

asr-003063
02:16:22.140 --> 02:16:23.800
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: in the national budget?

asr-003064
02:16:24.800 --> 02:16:26.320
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: How do we ensure

asr-003065
02:16:26.320 --> 02:16:28.480
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: that priorities identified

asr-003066
02:16:28.480 --> 02:16:29.960
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and validated from the barangay

asr-003067
02:16:29.980 --> 02:16:31.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: to the regional level

asr-003068
02:16:31.980 --> 02:16:33.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: are meaningfully

asr-003069
02:16:33.980 --> 02:16:35.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: considered when decisions are made

asr-003070
02:16:35.980 --> 02:16:37.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: on what gets funded,

asr-003071
02:16:37.980 --> 02:16:39.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: where resources are allocated,

asr-003072
02:16:39.980 --> 02:16:41.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and which needs receive

asr-003073
02:16:41.980 --> 02:16:43.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: priority?

asr-003074
02:16:43.980 --> 02:16:45.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: This is an important space

asr-003075
02:16:45.980 --> 02:16:47.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: for strengthening people's

asr-003076
02:16:47.980 --> 02:16:49.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: participation in the national

asr-003077
02:16:49.980 --> 02:16:51.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: budget process.

asr-003078
02:16:51.980 --> 02:16:53.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Early in the 20th Congress,

asr-003079
02:16:53.980 --> 02:16:55.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: the House adopted House Resolution

asr-003080
02:16:55.980 --> 02:16:57.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: No. 3, recognizing

asr-003081
02:16:57.980 --> 02:16:59.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: the importance of people's participation

asr-003082
02:16:59.980 --> 02:17:01.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: in the national budget

asr-003083
02:17:01.980 --> 02:17:03.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: process. Follow the issuance

asr-003084
02:17:03.980 --> 02:17:05.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: of the interim guidelines

asr-003085
02:17:05.980 --> 02:17:07.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: on people's organizations

asr-003086
02:17:09.980 --> 02:17:11.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: engagement in the national

asr-003087
02:17:11.980 --> 02:17:13.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: government budget legislation

asr-003088
02:17:13.980 --> 02:17:15.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and oversight. These

asr-003089
02:17:15.980 --> 02:17:17.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: were important first steps.

asr-003090
02:17:17.980 --> 02:17:19.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: And today, six

asr-003091
02:17:19.980 --> 02:17:21.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: legislative measures relating to

asr-003092
02:17:21.980 --> 02:17:23.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: public participation in

asr-003093
02:17:23.980 --> 02:17:25.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: the national budget process

asr-003094
02:17:25.980 --> 02:17:27.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: are pending before the Committee

asr-003095
02:17:27.980 --> 02:17:29.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: on People's Participation.

asr-003096
02:17:29.980 --> 02:17:31.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Our opportunity

asr-003097
02:17:31.980 --> 02:17:33.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: now is to study these measures

asr-003098
02:17:33.980 --> 02:17:35.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: together with our stakeholders.

asr-003099
02:17:37.980 --> 02:17:39.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Strengthen what already works,

asr-003100
02:17:39.980 --> 02:17:41.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: address the gaps,

asr-003101
02:17:41.980 --> 02:17:43.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and ultimately move from an

asr-003102
02:17:43.980 --> 02:17:45.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: interim mechanism toward

asr-003103
02:17:45.980 --> 02:17:47.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: a permanent and institutionalized

asr-003104
02:17:47.980 --> 02:17:49.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: framework for meaningful

asr-003105
02:17:49.980 --> 02:17:51.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: people's participation.

asr-003106
02:17:51.980 --> 02:17:53.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: But of course,

asr-003107
02:17:53.980 --> 02:17:55.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: meaningful participation

asr-003108
02:17:55.980 --> 02:17:57.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: must also be evidence-based

asr-003109
02:17:57.980 --> 02:17:59.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and data-driven.

asr-003110
02:17:59.980 --> 02:18:01.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: A people's budget

asr-003111
02:18:01.980 --> 02:18:03.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: cannot simply be a collection

asr-003112
02:18:03.980 --> 02:18:05.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: of requests. Whether

asr-003113
02:18:05.980 --> 02:18:07.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: priorities come from government,

asr-003114
02:18:07.980 --> 02:18:09.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: civil society organizations,

asr-003115
02:18:09.980 --> 02:18:11.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: or people's organizations,

asr-003116
02:18:11.980 --> 02:18:13.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: they should be supported

asr-003117
02:18:13.980 --> 02:18:15.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: by data, demonstrated

asr-003118
02:18:15.980 --> 02:18:17.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: need, and evidence

asr-003119
02:18:17.980 --> 02:18:19.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: of the outcomes that

asr-003120
02:18:19.980 --> 02:18:21.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: they are intended

asr-003121
02:18:21.980 --> 02:18:23.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: to achieve.

asr-003122
02:18:23.980 --> 02:18:25.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Our CSOs and POs

asr-003123
02:18:25.980 --> 02:18:27.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: are valuable partners

asr-003124
02:18:27.980 --> 02:18:29.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: because they bring essential

asr-003125
02:18:29.980 --> 02:18:31.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: ground-level perspective.

asr-003126
02:18:31.980 --> 02:18:33.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: The realities experienced

asr-003127
02:18:33.980 --> 02:18:35.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: by communities,

asr-003128
02:18:35.980 --> 02:18:37.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: the needs of vulnerable sectors,

asr-003129
02:18:37.980 --> 02:18:39.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and the actual impact

asr-003130
02:18:39.980 --> 02:18:41.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: of government programs.

asr-003131
02:18:41.980 --> 02:18:43.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: But this ground-level

asr-003132
02:18:43.980 --> 02:18:45.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: knowledge becomes

asr-003133
02:18:45.980 --> 02:18:47.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: even more powerful

asr-003134
02:18:47.980 --> 02:18:49.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: when supported by data

asr-003135
02:18:49.980 --> 02:18:51.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and evidence.

asr-003136
02:18:51.980 --> 02:18:53.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: CSOs and POs can be partners

asr-003137
02:18:53.980 --> 02:18:55.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: not only in articulating

asr-003138
02:18:55.980 --> 02:18:57.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: community needs, but

asr-003139
02:18:57.980 --> 02:18:59.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: also in validating priorities,

asr-003140
02:18:59.980 --> 02:19:01.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: assessing impact,

asr-003141
02:19:01.980 --> 02:19:03.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and helping determine

asr-003142
02:19:03.980 --> 02:19:05.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: what works and what does not.

asr-003143
02:19:05.980 --> 02:19:07.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: This allows

asr-003144
02:19:07.980 --> 02:19:09.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: people's participation to move

asr-003145
02:19:09.980 --> 02:19:11.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: beyond consultation

asr-003146
02:19:11.980 --> 02:19:13.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: toward informed participation,

asr-003147
02:19:13.980 --> 02:19:15.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: where government and

asr-003148
02:19:15.980 --> 02:19:17.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: citizens can make better decisions

asr-003149
02:19:17.980 --> 02:19:19.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: about where limited

asr-003150
02:19:19.980 --> 02:19:21.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: public resources can achieve

asr-003151
02:19:21.980 --> 02:19:23.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: greater impact.

asr-003152
02:19:23.980 --> 02:19:25.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: And ultimately,

asr-003153
02:19:25.980 --> 02:19:27.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: the real bottom line is not

asr-003154
02:19:27.980 --> 02:19:29.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: how much government spends,

asr-003155
02:19:29.980 --> 02:19:31.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: but what we achieve

asr-003156
02:19:31.980 --> 02:19:33.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: for our people.

asr-003157
02:19:33.980 --> 02:19:35.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Like what Kong Abet said,

asr-003158
02:19:35.980 --> 02:19:37.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: we want to answer

asr-003159
02:19:37.980 --> 02:19:39.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: questions like,

asr-003160
02:19:39.980 --> 02:19:41.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: did we reduce poverty

asr-003161
02:19:41.980 --> 02:19:43.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and improve household incomes?

asr-003162
02:19:43.980 --> 02:19:45.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Did we improve health

asr-003163
02:19:45.980 --> 02:19:47.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and education?

asr-003164
02:19:47.980 --> 02:19:49.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Did we create jobs, livelihoods,

asr-003165
02:19:49.980 --> 02:19:51.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: investments,

asr-003166
02:19:51.980 --> 02:19:53.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and economic opportunities?

asr-003167
02:19:53.980 --> 02:19:55.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Did we make basic needs

asr-003168
02:19:55.980 --> 02:19:57.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and the cost of living

asr-003169
02:19:57.980 --> 02:19:59.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: more affordable?

asr-003170
02:19:59.980 --> 02:20:01.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Did we improve peace and order

asr-003171
02:20:01.980 --> 02:20:03.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and make our communities safer?

asr-003172
02:20:03.980 --> 02:20:05.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Did we improve access,

asr-003173
02:20:05.980 --> 02:20:07.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: infrastructure, mobility,

asr-003174
02:20:07.980 --> 02:20:09.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: connectivity, and essential

asr-003175
02:20:09.980 --> 02:20:11.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: services?

asr-003176
02:20:11.980 --> 02:20:13.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: And did we make our communities

asr-003177
02:20:13.980 --> 02:20:15.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: more resilient and sustainable?

asr-003178
02:20:15.980 --> 02:20:17.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: These are the broader

asr-003179
02:20:17.980 --> 02:20:19.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Human Development Index

asr-003180
02:20:19.980 --> 02:20:21.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: plus plus outcomes

asr-003181
02:20:21.980 --> 02:20:23.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: that should guide our budget priorities

asr-003182
02:20:23.980 --> 02:20:25.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and how we measure

asr-003183
02:20:25.980 --> 02:20:27.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: government performance.

asr-003184
02:20:27.980 --> 02:20:29.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: These outcomes should provide

asr-003185
02:20:29.980 --> 02:20:31.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: a common direction across government

asr-003186
02:20:31.980 --> 02:20:33.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: from barangay, municipality,

asr-003187
02:20:33.980 --> 02:20:35.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: city, province, and region

asr-003188
02:20:35.980 --> 02:20:37.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: all the way to our national

asr-003189
02:20:37.980 --> 02:20:39.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: government agencies.

asr-003190
02:20:39.980 --> 02:20:41.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: But we should also remember

asr-003191
02:20:41.980 --> 02:20:43.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: that governance is a

asr-003192
02:20:43.980 --> 02:20:45.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: shared responsibility.

asr-003193
02:20:45.980 --> 02:20:47.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Government has the responsibility

asr-003194
02:20:47.980 --> 02:20:49.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: to listen, use public

asr-003195
02:20:49.980 --> 02:20:51.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: resources wisely,

asr-003196
02:20:51.980 --> 02:20:53.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: deliver effectively,

asr-003197
02:20:53.980 --> 02:20:55.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and be accountable for results.

asr-003198
02:20:55.980 --> 02:20:57.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: But meaningful participation

asr-003199
02:20:57.980 --> 02:20:59.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: also calls citizens,

asr-003200
02:20:59.980 --> 02:21:01.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: CSOs, POs

asr-003201
02:21:01.980 --> 02:21:03.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: to engage constructively,

asr-003202
02:21:03.980 --> 02:21:05.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: responsibly,

asr-003203
02:21:05.980 --> 02:21:07.980
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and on the basis of evidence.

asr-003204
02:21:07.980 --> 02:21:12.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: So the Committee on People's

asr-003205
02:21:12.600 --> 02:21:14.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Participation is committed

asr-003206
02:21:14.600 --> 02:21:16.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: to building on the progress

asr-003207
02:21:16.600 --> 02:21:18.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: that has already been made.

asr-003208
02:21:18.600 --> 02:21:20.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: We intend to study and work with our

asr-003209
02:21:20.600 --> 02:21:22.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: stakeholders on how we can

asr-003210
02:21:22.600 --> 02:21:24.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: strengthen the existing mechanisms,

asr-003211
02:21:24.600 --> 02:21:26.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: address gaps in implementation,

asr-003212
02:21:26.600 --> 02:21:28.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and ultimately transition

asr-003213
02:21:28.600 --> 02:21:30.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: from the interim guidance

asr-003214
02:21:30.600 --> 02:21:32.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: to a permanent legislative framework

asr-003215
02:21:32.600 --> 02:21:34.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: for the people's participation

asr-003216
02:21:34.600 --> 02:21:36.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: in the national budget process.

asr-003217
02:21:36.600 --> 02:21:38.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: As we move forward,

asr-003218
02:21:38.600 --> 02:21:40.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: the Committee on People's Participation

asr-003219
02:21:40.600 --> 02:21:42.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: looks forward to working closely

asr-003220
02:21:42.600 --> 02:21:44.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: with all of you,

asr-003221
02:21:44.600 --> 02:21:46.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: not only in reviewing the budget

asr-003222
02:21:46.600 --> 02:21:48.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: but in building a system

asr-003223
02:21:48.600 --> 02:21:50.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: where participation is recognized

asr-003224
02:21:50.600 --> 02:21:52.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: as a regular, credible,

asr-003225
02:21:52.600 --> 02:21:54.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: and meaningful part

asr-003226
02:21:54.600 --> 02:21:56.600
Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: of the national budget process.

asr-003385
02:27:16.540 --> 02:27:18.540

asr-003436
02:29:02.030 --> 02:29:04.030

asr-003437
02:29:04.030 --> 02:29:06.030

asr-003438

asr-003439
02:29:08.030 --> 02:29:10.030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: the openness that was shown last

asr-003440
02:29:10.030 --> 02:29:12.030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: year. I think the sentiment

asr-003441
02:29:12.030 --> 02:29:14.030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: right now is that it does not,

asr-003442
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

asr-003443
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

asr-003444
02:29:18.030 --> 02:29:20.030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: of CSO engagement.

asr-003445
02:29:20.030 --> 02:29:22.030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: But I think we

asr-003446
02:29:22.030 --> 02:29:24.030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: are in all in agreement

asr-003447
02:29:24.030 --> 02:29:26.030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: that there's a little bit more

asr-003448

Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: responsiveness,

asr-003450
02:29:30.030 --> 02:29:32.030

asr-003451
02:29:32.030 --> 02:29:34.030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: our main concern is really

asr-003452
02:29:34.030 --> 02:29:36.030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: on the

02:29:40.030 --> 02:29:42.030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: It has been very bad

asr-003456
02:29:42.030 --> 02:29:44.030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: for business, for foreign direct

asr-003457
02:29:44.030 --> 02:29:46.030
Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: investments.

asr-003458
02:29:46.030 --> 02:29:48.030

asr-003465
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

asr-003466
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

asr-003467
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

asr-003468

asr-003469
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

asr-003470
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

asr-003471
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

asr-003472
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

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

Makati Business Club Governance and Sustainability Lead Eunice Tanilon: predictability

02:40:10.960 --> 02:40:12.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: it will

asr-003693
02:40:12.960 --> 02:40:14.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hopefully prevent

asr-003694
02:40:14.960 --> 02:40:16.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: corruption by lessening

asr-003695
02:40:16.960 --> 02:40:18.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the fiscal space

asr-003696
02:40:18.960 --> 02:40:20.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: for discretion,

asr-003697
02:40:20.960 --> 02:40:22.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: which leads to corruption, and increase

asr-003698
02:40:22.960 --> 02:40:24.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the fiscal space for

asr-003699
02:40:24.960 --> 02:40:26.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: performance-based.

asr-003700
02:40:26.960 --> 02:40:28.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And outcome-based,

asr-003701
02:40:28.960 --> 02:40:30.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: imagine kung yung budget

asr-003708
02:40:42.960 --> 02:40:44.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: per barangay, per municipality,

asr-003709
02:40:44.960 --> 02:40:46.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: per city,

asr-003710
02:40:46.960 --> 02:40:48.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: per congressional district,

asr-003712
02:40:50.960 --> 02:40:52.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: aggregated to the regions, and

asr-003713
02:40:52.960 --> 02:40:54.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the national level.

asr-003714
02:40:54.960 --> 02:40:56.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Wouldn't that be a better

asr-003715
02:40:56.960 --> 02:40:58.960

02:41:20.910 --> 02:41:22.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: with the

02:41:22.910 --> 02:41:24.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Ma'am Eunice, sa

asr-003728
02:41:24.910 --> 02:41:26.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: MBC.

asr-003729
02:41:26.910 --> 02:41:28.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Actually,

asr-003730
02:41:28.910 --> 02:41:30.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we were bothered nung sinabi na

asr-003731
02:41:30.910 --> 02:41:32.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: one step back.

asr-003732
02:41:32.910 --> 02:41:34.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So it's never the intention

asr-003733
02:41:34.910 --> 02:41:36.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ng Appropriations

asr-003734
02:41:36.910 --> 02:41:38.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Committee. So actually,

asr-003735
02:41:38.910 --> 02:41:40.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung ginawa po namin last time,

asr-003736
02:41:40.910 --> 02:41:42.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we want to improve it, but

asr-003737
02:41:42.910 --> 02:41:44.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I have to call the attention ng

asr-003738
02:41:44.910 --> 02:41:46.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: CPBRD.

asr-003739
02:41:46.910 --> 02:41:48.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I know

asr-003740
02:41:48.910 --> 02:41:50.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we're doing a lot of things.

asr-003741
02:41:50.910 --> 02:41:52.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: The

asr-003742
02:41:52.910 --> 02:41:54.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: questions should emanate from

asr-003743
02:41:54.910 --> 02:41:56.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: you. You have to give

asr-003744
02:41:56.910 --> 02:41:58.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: it to us. Okay?

asr-003745
02:41:58.910 --> 02:42:00.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And hindi yung one step back tayo,

asr-003746
02:42:00.910 --> 02:42:02.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: but I think we need to improve

asr-003747
02:42:02.910 --> 02:42:04.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pa nga eh. And with your inputs,

asr-003748
02:42:04.910 --> 02:42:06.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mas may improve po natin

asr-003749
02:42:06.910 --> 02:42:08.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: for the next budget hearings

asr-003750
02:42:08.910 --> 02:42:10.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pa. Pero pa tayong

asr-003751
02:42:10.910 --> 02:42:12.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 2028, so on and so

asr-003752
02:42:12.910 --> 02:42:14.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: forth. But it's never the

asr-003753
02:42:14.910 --> 02:42:16.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: intention ng Appropriations Committee

asr-003754
02:42:16.910 --> 02:42:18.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: na ma-feel nyo po yun,

asr-003755
02:42:18.910 --> 02:42:20.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: na ninineglect

asr-003756
02:42:20.910 --> 02:42:22.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: po yung ating mga CSO.

asr-003757
02:42:22.910 --> 02:42:24.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So medyo

asr-003758
02:42:24.910 --> 02:42:26.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: karoon po talaga ng problema.

asr-003759
02:42:26.910 --> 02:42:28.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Sabi ko nga,

asr-003760
02:42:28.910 --> 02:42:30.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I don't want to find faults, but we need

asr-003761
02:42:30.910 --> 02:42:32.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: to find solutions. How to improve this,

asr-003762
02:42:32.910 --> 02:42:34.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: no? And this will not

asr-003763
02:42:34.910 --> 02:42:36.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: happen again. So all

asr-003764
02:42:36.910 --> 02:42:38.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: the questions na binigay po ninyo,

asr-003765
02:42:38.910 --> 02:42:40.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: hindi pa naman po tapos yung

asr-003766
02:42:40.910 --> 02:42:42.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: budget natin, pwede

asr-003767
02:42:42.910 --> 02:42:44.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pa po yan. Even sa plenary,

asr-003768
02:42:44.910 --> 02:42:46.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pwede pa po yan.

asr-003769
02:42:46.910 --> 02:42:48.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Even nga sa BICAM,

asr-003770
02:42:48.910 --> 02:42:50.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pwede pa po yan. Okay?

asr-003771
02:42:50.910 --> 02:42:52.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So all your inputs are

asr-003772
02:42:52.910 --> 02:42:54.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: well noted.

asr-003773
02:42:54.910 --> 02:42:56.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And we will act on it.

asr-003774
02:42:56.910 --> 02:42:58.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: That is our commitment.

asr-003775
02:42:58.910 --> 02:43:00.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: We just don't want you to feel na

asr-003776
02:43:00.910 --> 02:43:02.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: instead of moving forward,

asr-003777
02:43:02.910 --> 02:43:04.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we are moving backward, no?

asr-003778
02:43:04.910 --> 02:43:06.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So we are very transparent,

asr-003779
02:43:06.910 --> 02:43:08.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: no?

asr-003780
02:43:08.910 --> 02:43:10.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Regarding the schedule,

asr-003781
02:43:10.910 --> 02:43:12.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa toto lang po until now, it's hard to make

asr-003782
02:43:12.910 --> 02:43:14.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: schedules. Because some agencies,

asr-003783
02:43:14.910 --> 02:43:16.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pag schedule mo po bukas,

asr-003784
02:43:16.910 --> 02:43:18.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: hindi pwede secretary, kasi

asr-003785
02:43:18.910 --> 02:43:20.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: may ginagawa. So we need to reschedule

asr-003786
02:43:20.910 --> 02:43:22.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: again. And even po sa

asr-003787
02:43:22.910 --> 02:43:24.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: BARC, hanggang ngayon wala pa po ang

asr-003788
02:43:24.910 --> 02:43:26.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: schedule talaga. And until

asr-003789
02:43:26.910 --> 02:43:28.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: now,

asr-003790
02:43:28.910 --> 02:43:30.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nagsischedule din po kami. Because I need

asr-003791
02:43:30.910 --> 02:43:32.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: to study also my

asr-003792
02:43:32.910 --> 02:43:34.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: agency, especially DOE

asr-003793
02:43:34.910 --> 02:43:36.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: and DILG.

asr-003794
02:43:36.910 --> 02:43:38.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Napakalaki po yan.

asr-003795
02:43:38.910 --> 02:43:40.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Systems laws, I have to explain it to

asr-003796
02:43:40.910 --> 02:43:42.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: the people. How do we do it? The

asr-003797
02:43:42.910 --> 02:43:44.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: non-technical, technical. So

asr-003798
02:43:44.910 --> 02:43:46.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we also need the

asr-003799
02:43:46.910 --> 02:43:48.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: date. Pero actually,

asr-003800
02:43:48.910 --> 02:43:50.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: hanggang ngayon, wala pa rin po kaming

asr-003801
02:43:50.910 --> 02:43:52.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: date. So minsan mabiglaan,

asr-003802
02:43:52.910 --> 02:43:54.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: but this is our job. It's

asr-003803
02:43:54.910 --> 02:43:56.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: no excuses. But we just

asr-003804
02:43:56.910 --> 02:43:58.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: don't want you to feel na

asr-003805
02:43:58.910 --> 02:44:00.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we're moving

asr-003806
02:44:00.910 --> 02:44:02.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: backwards. Na hindi

asr-003807
02:44:02.910 --> 02:44:04.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: namin binibigyan halaga yung

asr-003808
02:44:04.910 --> 02:44:06.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: CSO. Because you are very important.

asr-003809
02:44:06.910 --> 02:44:08.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Si John Lloyd yan, I appreciate ko.

asr-003810
02:44:08.910 --> 02:44:10.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Twenty years old pa lang. Ang dami mo ng input.

asr-003811
02:44:10.910 --> 02:44:12.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Dami mong data. Hindi ko alam

asr-003812
02:44:12.910 --> 02:44:14.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kung saan yung data na kinuha mo. Kindly share

asr-003813
02:44:14.910 --> 02:44:16.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: it to us. Vice Chair,

asr-003814
02:44:16.910 --> 02:44:18.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pwede bang mag-working student si

asr-003815
02:44:18.910 --> 02:44:20.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: John Lloyd? Gusto mo bang

02:44:20.910 --> 02:44:22.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pwede kitang kuling konsultan?

asr-003817
02:44:22.910 --> 02:44:24.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Ay, unahan na.

asr-003818
02:44:24.910 --> 02:44:26.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: No, but honestly,

asr-003819
02:44:26.910 --> 02:44:28.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: medyo yun lang po

asr-003820
02:44:28.910 --> 02:44:30.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung gusto namin ipaabot po sa inyo.

asr-003821
02:44:30.910 --> 02:44:32.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: We apologize.

asr-003822
02:44:32.910 --> 02:44:34.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: On behalf of CPV,

asr-003823
02:44:34.910 --> 02:44:36.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: RD, and the APRO committee,

asr-003824
02:44:36.910 --> 02:44:38.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: we apologize. But

asr-003825
02:44:38.910 --> 02:44:40.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: hindi po talaga sa amin nakarating

asr-003826
02:44:40.910 --> 02:44:42.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung questions. So it's hard naman po

asr-003827
02:44:42.910 --> 02:44:44.910
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: magbasa ng questions na hindi po nakarating

asr-003828
02:44:44.910 --> 02:44:45.800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: po sa amin.

asr-003828-split-2
02:44:45.800 --> 02:44:46.910
John Castillo: Thank you very much,

asr-003829
02:44:46.910 --> 02:44:48.910
John Castillo: Vice Chair Arnie Fuentebella.

asr-003830
02:44:48.910 --> 02:44:50.910
John Castillo: And we, just

asr-003831
02:44:50.910 --> 02:44:52.910
John Castillo: like that, we have reached our

asr-003832
02:44:52.910 --> 02:44:54.910
John Castillo: final segment of

asr-003833
02:44:54.910 --> 02:44:56.910
John Castillo: today's People's Budget Review.

asr-003834
02:44:56.910 --> 02:44:58.910
John Castillo: But to give his

asr-003835
02:44:58.910 --> 02:45:00.910
John Castillo: closing remarks.

asr-003836
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,

asr-003837
02:45:08.040 --> 02:45:11.140
John Castillo: Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral.

asr-003838
02:45:11.680 --> 02:45:16.320
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Good afternoon to all of us.

asr-003839
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

asr-003840
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

asr-003841
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,

asr-003842
02:45:33.800 --> 02:45:41.260
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Congresswoman Garcia, Congressman Arrogancia, Congresswoman Lagdameo,

asr-003843
02:45:42.160 --> 02:45:49.660
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Congressman Fuentebella, Congresswoman Bondoc, and Congresswoman Suansing.

asr-003844
02:45:49.860 --> 02:45:50.620
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Thank you so much.

asr-003845
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.

asr-003846
02:45:56.440 --> 02:45:58.440
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: As we conclude...

asr-003847
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.

asr-003848
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.

asr-003849
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.

asr-003850
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.

asr-003851
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.

asr-003852
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.

asr-003853
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.

asr-003854
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.

asr-003855
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.

asr-003856
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.

asr-003857
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

asr-003866
02:47:01.280 --> 02:47:04.960
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: and its responsibility to represent the people.

asr-003875
02:47:05.880 --> 02:47:09.180
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Researchers examine the numbers and evidence

asr-003882
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

asr-003883
02:47:17.940 --> 02:47:21.200
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: experienced by communities.

asr-003884
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.

asr-003885
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.

asr-003886
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

asr-003887
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.

asr-003888
02:47:44.840 --> 02:47:48.820
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: What problems are we trying to solve?

asr-003889
02:47:48.820 --> 02:47:52.300
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: What has the government already spent on?

asr-003890
02:47:52.300 --> 02:47:54.800
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: What has the spending produced?

asr-003891
02:47:54.800 --> 02:47:57.000
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Is the program working?

asr-003892
02:47:57.000 --> 02:47:58.900
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Who has benefited?

asr-003893
02:47:58.900 --> 02:48:01.460
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: And what should we do differently?

asr-003894
02:48:01.460 --> 02:48:04.000
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Unfortunately, the evidence needed to

asr-003895
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.

asr-003896
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

asr-003897
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

asr-003898
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.

asr-003899
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

asr-003900
02:48:35.000 --> 02:48:39.100
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: through a unified national monitoring

asr-003901
02:48:39.140 --> 02:48:41.620
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: and evaluation system.

asr-003902
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

asr-003903
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.

asr-003904
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

asr-003905
02:49:01.420 --> 02:49:05.000
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: expenditures to activities and outputs

asr-003907
02:49:05.000 --> 02:49:09.380
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: and ultimately to outcomes and impacts.

asr-003908
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

asr-003909
02:49:17.380 --> 02:49:18.860
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: reports.

asr-003910
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,

asr-003911
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

asr-003912
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

asr-003913
02:49:39.780 --> 02:49:42.380
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: information technology.

asr-003914
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.

asr-003915
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

asr-003916
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.

asr-003917
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.

asr-003918
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.

asr-003919
02:50:08.000 --> 02:50:12.580
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: Official indicators tell us what numbers show.

asr-003920
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.

asr-003921
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.

asr-003922
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

asr-003923
02:50:28.400 --> 02:50:31.000
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: and evidence.

asr-003924
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

asr-003925
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

asr-003926
02:50:45.040 --> 02:50:47.520
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: needs have been overlooked.

asr-003927
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.

asr-003928
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

asr-003929
02:50:58.400 --> 02:50:59.060
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: in the budget.

asr-003930
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,

asr-003931
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

asr-003932
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

asr-003933
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.

asr-003934
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.

asr-003935
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

asr-003936
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

asr-003937
02:51:50.520 --> 02:51:53.940
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: and information needed to participate effectively?

asr-003938
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

asr-003939
02:51:59.060 --> 02:52:01.820
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: analyzed?

asr-003940
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

asr-003941
02:52:07.540 --> 02:52:08.540
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: decisions.

asr-003942
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.

asr-003943
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,

asr-003944
02:52:25.160 --> 02:52:28.360
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: common and critical performance indicators.

asr-003945
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

asr-003946
02:52:35.680 --> 02:52:37.320
CPBRD Deputy Secretary General Dr. Romulo Emmanuel Miral Jr.: performance data.

asr-003947
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

asr-003948
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,

asr-003949
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.

asr-003952
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.

asr-003953
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.

asr-003954
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.

asr-003955
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.

asr-003959
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.

asr-003963
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.

asr-003964
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.

asr-003965
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,

asr-003966
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.

asr-003967
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,

asr-003968
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.

asr-003969
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,

asr-003970
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.

asr-003971
02:54:40.860 --> 02:54:43.300
John Castillo: Thank you very much, Dr. Miral.

asr-003971-split-2
02:54:43.300 --> 02:54:45.380
John Castillo: Thank you very much, Dr. Miral.

asr-003972
02:54:45.720 --> 02:54:52.060
John Castillo: So, with that, the People's Budget Review Second Cycle is closed.

asr-003973
02:54:52.320 --> 02:54:55.880
John Castillo: And on behalf of the House of Representatives and the CPBRD,

asr-003974
02:54:55.880 --> 02:55:00.420
John Castillo: we would like to thank you, our civil society partners, our House members,

asr-003975
02:55:00.420 --> 02:55:04.420
John Castillo: and everyone who participated in today's discussion.

asr-003976
02:55:04.420 --> 02:55:07.600
John Castillo: Thank you for bringing your ideas, and thank you for each...
