Its hospital services program is proposed at 7.291 billion, lower by 805.457 million or 9.9%. 48 00:33:51,820 --> 00:34:04,780 Senator Joel Villanueva: The budget retains 800 million for zero balance billing and provides 576.522 million for medicines under the medical assistance for indigent patients. 49 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:20,300 Senator Joel Villanueva: We need to know again if these amounts are sufficient to protect poor patients who depend on PGH and thank God, before I continue, let me acknowledge our Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance. 50 00:34:20,300 --> 00:34:21,300 Senator Joel Villanueva: And I think... 51 00:34:21,820 --> 00:34:25,140 Senator Joel Villanueva: He deserves a round of applause for all of us. 52 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:34,260 Senator Joel Villanueva: Considering what I have already stated, hindi rin po dapat maiwan ang ating mga manggagawa across our SUCs. 53 00:34:34,420 --> 00:34:45,860 Senator Joel Villanueva: You're looking at 18,436 permanent positions remain unfilled while CHED has 1,097 job order and contract of service personnel. 54 00:34:45,860 --> 00:34:51,680 Senator Joel Villanueva: Hindi naman po pwedeng lumawak ang serbisyong pang edukasyon habang nahiiwan po. 55 00:34:51,820 --> 00:34:53,520 Senator Joel Villanueva: Ang mga manggagawang naghahatid nito. 56 00:34:54,020 --> 00:34:59,600 Senator Joel Villanueva: Magtatapos ako kasi gusto kong masimulan na natin ang ating pagdinig. 57 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,820 Senator Joel Villanueva: Simple lang po ang ating sukatan sa dulo ng lahat ng ito. 58 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,620 Senator Joel Villanueva: Kung libre po ang kolehyo sa estudyante, dapat hindi po kapos ang paaralan. 59 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:16,020 Senator Joel Villanueva: Kung may scholarship or subsidy, dapat naman makarating ito sa higit na nangangailangan. 60 00:35:16,020 --> 00:35:21,380 Senator Joel Villanueva: Ang budget po na ito ay tungkol sa pagbibigay ng pagkakataon sa kabataang Pilipino. 61 00:35:21,820 --> 00:35:23,940 Senator Joel Villanueva: At makapagtapos ng kanyang pag-aaral. 62 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:30,360 Senator Joel Villanueva: At sa pagtiyak na may sapat na suporta ang mga institusyon at manggagawang tumutulong po sa kanila. 63 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:37,960 Senator Joel Villanueva: And so with that, we now proceed with the budget briefing of CHED and the SUCs. 64 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,640 Senator Joel Villanueva: Marami pong salamat muli sa inyong pagdalo. 65 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:48,100 Senator Joel Villanueva: Let me give the floor to our chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance who will help us. 66 00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:51,640 Senator Joel Villanueva: Do our... 67 00:35:51,820 --> 00:35:57,620 Senator Joel Villanueva: ...job here so we can be more effective and more efficient in delivering services to our people. 68 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,620 Senator Joel Villanueva: Let me give the floor to our chairperson, Chairman J.V.

Ejercito: It's been a very hectic week. 73 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:21,800 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Hectic day. 74 00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:24,760 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: For us in the Senate, ongoing on-commissioned appointments. 75 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,440 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I'm also chairing the budget of the Department of Public Works right now. 76 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:34,080 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But we took a break so that I can join you for a while. 77 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:41,960 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I'll try to join you. Hopefully, we can wrap up, Mr. Chair, earlier sa DPWH budget so that we can... 78 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,700 Senator Joel Villanueva: Ako din, I'm thinking of wrapping up earlier so I can join you with the DPWH. 79 00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:46,140 Senator Joel Villanueva: Yes. 80 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,700 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G.

Ejercito: Advocates and we have been very supportive of our higher education, especially the SUCs. 82 00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:01,020 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Una sa, I'll just give, go to my opening statement. 83 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,520 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Magandang hapon po sa ating mga kasamahan. 84 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:11,120 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G.

Ejercito: Siyempre sa kay, of course, kay Ma'am Shirley Agrupis, sa kanya pong mga kasamahan, commissioners. 86 00:37:19,540 --> 00:37:21,800 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At sa ating pong State Universities Colleges. 87 00:37:21,820 --> 00:37:23,000 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At sa lahat ng narinito. 88 00:37:23,540 --> 00:37:31,680 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At the outset of our budget deliberations for Fiscal Year 2027, I emphasize that our guiding principle is simple, back to basics. 89 00:37:32,340 --> 00:37:38,460 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Today, as you take up the proposed budgets of CHED and our SUCs, we carry that same principles with us. 90 00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:48,820 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We must focus on our resources and what our students need to enter college, stay in school, and graduate with the knowledge and skills to build a better future. 91 00:37:48,820 --> 00:37:51,800 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Para sa maraming pamilyang Pilipinas, 92 00:37:51,820 --> 00:37:58,960 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mayroon ang makapagtapos ng koleyo ang pangarap na pinagsisikapan at pinaglaanan ng malaking sakripisyo. 93 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:10,480 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nung mayroon pa ako nasanuan, isa sa mga pinagmamlaking proyekto hanggang sa ngayon ay ang pagkakatatag na isang campus ng Polytechnic University of the Philippines. 94 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:20,640 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Having been able to establish an SUC for our small city was one of the biggest accomplishments that I'm still proud of. 95 00:38:21,820 --> 00:38:33,640 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sa aming mga kababayan, pagka-hugout and high school, maraming mga poor but deserving, kaya lang tumatawid pa ng ibang siyudad para makapagpatuloy ng koleyo. 96 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:51,640 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kaya nga, binabuti natin na mag-establish ng SUC, isang state college, with the agreement with the PUP, and I'm very proud that right now our pioneer class, when I was there now, are holding exams. 97 00:38:51,820 --> 00:39:07,180 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, I'm still proud of, probably when I wrap up my career later on, I'll still be very much proud of having been able to establish a state university in our own city. 98 00:39:07,340 --> 00:39:21,800 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Alam natin na para sa maraming pamilya, malaking bagay ang pagkakaroon ng abot-kayang koleyo na malapit sa tahanan, nababawasan ng gastos mga masahe at tirahan, at nagiging mas abot kamay ang pangarap na makakaroon. 99 00:39:21,820 --> 00:39:31,180 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At ang sakit po kasi, paniniwala ko po siya, Chair, if you have a graduate per family, that gives them a chance to up-dip the living conditions of their family. 100 00:39:31,420 --> 00:39:40,260 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Isang graduate sa bawat pamilya, pagkakataon na may ahon sa kahirapan at mabigyan ng magandang kalidad ng buhay ang kanilang pamilya. 101 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:50,600 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: To our public higher education institutions and student assistance programs, we have opened more opportunities for our young people, but our responsibility continues beyond enrollment. 102 00:39:51,820 --> 00:39:57,540 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kailan nating tiyakin na may sapat na suporta ang ating mga estudyante hanggang sa kanilang pagtatapos. 103 00:39:58,100 --> 00:40:03,820 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We also want our higher education institutions to respond to the needs of our communities and our economy. 104 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:14,340 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: This means relevant curricula, meaningful research, strong industry linkages, and extension services that bring knowledge and practical solutions to the people. 105 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:21,820 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sa pagtatalakay natin sa mga panukalang budget, susuriin natin kung sapat ang pondo para sa mga pangunan. 106 00:40:21,820 --> 00:40:31,060 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At kung kaya ito magamit ng maayos at nasa oras, at kung malinaw ang mga resulta ang inaasa natin. 107 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:43,200 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Every peso we allocate must help bring our students closer to getting to the finish line by graduating and finding better opportunities in life not just for themselves, but for their families. 108 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:50,620 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yan po ang layunin natin, isang higher education system na abot kaya, may kalidad, at tumutugod sa pangangailangan ng ating bansa. 109 00:40:50,620 --> 00:40:51,800 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kaya lang po, Mr. Chair. 110 00:40:51,820 --> 00:41:02,200 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ah, Senator Aquino is here also, one of our colleagues who is very much, very supportive of education, especially the higher education. 111 00:41:03,060 --> 00:41:11,840 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Because of our very, very, as Chairman of the Finance, siguro sabihin ko lang po sa inyo that we will try our best to give what we can give. 112 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,960 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kaya lang talagang very limited ho ang ating fiscal space this year. 113 00:41:16,140 --> 00:41:20,320 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Na talagang yung elbow room natin, napakaliit. 114 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:25,160 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Because of our economic situation, alam nyo naman siguro yung nangyari nung isang taon. 115 00:41:25,780 --> 00:41:38,080 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: That's why this early, I beg for your indulgence and understanding na kung hindi man natin maibigay yung mga wish po natin, kung kaya naman, dahan-dahanin po siguro natin. 116 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:46,740 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Basta, nirecommend po ng ating Vice Chair, Senator Aquino, yung mga advocates dito, but kaya, pag kaya po, ay gagawan po natin ang paraan. 117 00:41:46,740 --> 00:41:49,440 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ang problema lang, sinasabi ko na po sa inyo. 118 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:56,400 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, ang aming dilema sa ngayon, kung pwede lang mapagbigyan lahat ng SUCs, pagbibigyan natin. 119 00:41:56,540 --> 00:42:03,660 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kaya lang, dahil sa nangyaring flood control scandal, apektado po ang buong ekonomiya na ating bansa. 120 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:10,200 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Bumagsak po ang revenue natin, bumagsak ang koleksyon, bumagsak din ang GTP. 121 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:15,060 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: From 5% to 4% last year, now it's down to 2%. 122 00:42:15,060 --> 00:42:16,920 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, kinakailangan din natin humabol. 123 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:18,660 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, hopefully, makabawi ngayon. 124 00:42:18,660 --> 00:42:20,880 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, but we will see. 125 00:42:21,300 --> 00:42:22,340 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We will do our part. 126 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:31,680 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pag tutulungan namin ni Sen. Joel Villanueva, Senator Bam Aquino, kung ano po yung talagang kailangan para mapanatili natin maayos ang ating mga SUCs. 127 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,560 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At siyempre, ang ating pong Commission on Higher Education. 128 00:42:34,780 --> 00:42:40,980 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Be rest assured that we will do our part to try and fill in the gaps. 129 00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:43,200 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kaya lang, talagang hirap ngayon. 130 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,900 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pabigat, masikip, pero gagawan po natin ang paraan. 131 00:42:47,460 --> 00:42:48,460 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G.

makapagtapos? 175 00:46:10,940 --> 00:46:14,120 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Meron bang siguradong trabaho pagkatapos niya? 176 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,560 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Alam po natin na napakalaking tulong ng libreng tuition. 177 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,080 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kaya po natin ito pinaglaban noong una nating termino. 178 00:46:22,740 --> 00:46:27,760 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Pero alam rin po natin na hindi doon nagtatapos ang gastos ng isang pamilya. 179 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:33,840 Senator Paolo

Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na dapat po August 25 ba pong dapat lumabas. 184 00:46:52,700 --> 00:46:54,380 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ito pong mga RLE ay mandatory. 185 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,740 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi po kayo pwedeng gumraduate sa nursing at allied health 186 00:46:57,740 --> 00:46:58,800 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: kung hindi po kayo dumaan dito. 187 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,320 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: At kadalasan, tumataas rin po ang bayad ng RLE. 188 00:47:03,900 --> 00:47:07,540 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Umaabot po yan ng 20, 30, 40,000 pesos per year. 189 00:47:08,340 --> 00:47:11,460 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi po dapat maging dahilan ang kakulangan sa pambayad 190 00:47:11,460 --> 00:47:14,040 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: para hindi po makompleto ang kurso. 191 00:47:14,860 --> 00:47:16,500 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Noong nakaraang budget deliberation, 192 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:22,040 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: pinaglaban po natin ang pondo para sa libreng koleyo at tertiary education subsidy. 193 00:47:22,720 -->

pa rin 195 00:47:27,740 --> 00:47:30,000 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ang pondo para sa libreng kolehiyo. 196 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,020 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Habang dumarami ang mga estudyante at dumalawak ang saklaw ng batas, 197 00:47:34,460 --> 00:47:38,340 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: hindi maaaring lumiit ang supportang direktang napupunta sa kanila. 198 00:47:39,140 --> 00:47:41,880 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi dapat pabawasan ang pagkakatoon ng isang estudyante 199 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,940 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ang makapasok at makapagtapos dahil lang kinapos ang budget. 200 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,740 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Mr. Chairman, our previous chairperson, Senator Legarda, 201 00:47:50,940 --> 00:47:56,740 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: actually ushered in the amendments to the Free College Act or RA 12325. 202 00:47:56,980 --> 00:48:02,920 Senator

nakakatulong sa pagpili ng mga estudyante 204 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,580 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: dapat makakuha ng narapat na tulong? 205 00:48:10,060 --> 00:48:12,900 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasama po sa mga amendments ang pagpasok ng RLE. 206 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,400 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi na po siya isang budget insertion or budget amendment. 207 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,640 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Siya na po'y kasama na sa batas dahil po sa RA 12325. 208 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:26,100 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: 12325 also clarified, sino yung mga batang dapat unang makakuha ng tulong 209 00:48:26,100 --> 00:48:27,380 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: mula sa gobyerno. 210 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:32,140 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And for the last budget, alam po natin that Chair Shirley and many here, 211 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:36,720 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we agonized over the proper distribution of scholarships. 212 00:48:37,180 --> 00:48:42,240 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, naiso nating malaman, with RA 12325 already passed and signed into law, 213 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,800 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: magkakasama po tayo nung pahirmahan po yan, 214 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:50,100 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ito

00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:30,420 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and of course, later on, mapag-uusapan din ano yung tulong na kinakailangan ng CHED at ng SUC 222 00:49:30,420 --> 00:49:36,260 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: na alam po natin ay parang nangalahati po sa kanilang request ang naibigay lang po sa kanila. 223 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,520 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But alam naman po ito ni Chair Shirley, alam nyo po ito, 224 00:49:39,900 --> 00:49:47,320 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: dito po sa Senado, marami pong sumusuporta sa CHED, sa mga

Marami pong salamat. 250 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:25,140 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: In the interest of time, I want to start with the message of Senator JV 251 00:52:25,140 --> 00:52:27,140 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ejercito kanina sa PUP. 252 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:40,480 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Sabi niya, mas magandang mag-invest sa edukasyon dahil ito ay panghanap buhay and that education will be our strongest weapon as we face the challenges of life. 253 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,380 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Dito po kami nang gagaling. 254 00:52:42,940 --> 00:52:51,700 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: After a year-long recalibration of our policies in CHED and redirecting everything, we are now ready to go far. 255 00:52:51,700 --> 00:52:55,060 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: This is our basis when we crafted. 256 00:52:55,140 --> 00:53:12,920 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Our proposal for 2027, sir chairperson, our proposal was 70.2 billion, including HEDF, was cut to almost 50%. 257 00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,380 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: If we can move to the next slide, please. 258 00:53:15,380 --> 00:53:24,380 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: In the next slide, we can see that while we remain thankful at the education sector of the 7 trillion allotted. 259 00:53:24,380 --> 00:53:39,660 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For 2027, 1 trillion was given to education sector, but unfortunately and painfully, CHED only receive about 3.43% of the allocation in the education sector. 260 00:53:39,660 --> 00:53:42,160 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Moving forward, I have to run fast. 261 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:58,800 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Moving forward, if you see the history on the next slide, from 2024 to 2025, palagi pong mas maliit ang natatanggap ng CHED. 262 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:07,040 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And we are very thankful that upon assumption, we were given a budget of 48 billion, which is higher than the proposal. 263 00:54:07,340 --> 00:54:13,540 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: This is a speaks volume of the growing support of our government to education sector. 264 00:54:13,540 --> 00:54:22,820 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, this 2027, we carefully computed what we need after recalibrating everything. 265 00:54:22,820 --> 00:54:32,340 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: this is not an imagination but this is need-based and data-driven need so we requested 70.2 billion 266 00:54:32,340 --> 00:54:40,180 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: we only get 35.4 billion pesos if

Jimenez: Yeah, we would take last year 153,000, we accepted around 10%, around 13%. 1106 01:35:18,540 --> 01:35:19,540 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: 10% 1107 01:35:19,540 --> 01:35:20,540 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay. 1108 01:35:20,540 --> 01:35:21,540 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So ito po. 1109 01:35:21,540 --> 01:35:30,540 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Let me clarify. Tama po yung nasabi ni President Jimenez. Ito po'y accepted versus qualified. Tama? Okay. 1110 01:35:30,540 --> 01:35:39,540 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Doon po sa likod, sir. Saan po? Ah, WEBSU, of course. Ano pong acceptance rate po ninyo? 19? Okay. 1111 01:35:39,540 --> 01:35:44,540 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Chair Shirley, so I think we're probably at 20% and below. Tama po, no? 1112 01:35:44,540 --> 01:35:45,540 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yeah. 1113 01:35:45,540 --> 01:35:50,540 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Can we have a target? What's our target? Kasi our completion is 70%. 1114 01:35:50,540 --> 01:35:59,540 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: To be fair, 72%. That's the highest in the ASEAN by the way. Yung acceptance rate po natin, magandang maging target rin po natin yan moving forward. 1115 01:35:59,540 --> 01:36:19,540 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sa dami ng mga studyanteng nag-a-apply, ano yung target natin na matanggap? That's again, not your fault. It's our fault. Kasi budget po yan, no? Baka we can plan that way. Kung ang target natin 25, 30, 35, 40% moving forward or by 20, kunyari by 2030, dapat 35% na yan. 1116 01:36:19,540 --> 01:36:29,540 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Makikita natin ano yung budget na kailangan natin moving forward, no? So, is that a target now of CHED yung acceptance rate, Chair Shirley? 1117 01:36:29,540 --> 01:36:42,540 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes po. That's why we communicate closely with EDCOM, too. That we need to have a good equation, a harmonized equation, synergized equation like the faculty ratio. 1118 01:36:42,540 --> 01:36:43,540 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes. 1119 01:36:43,540 --> 01:36:48,540 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Absorptive capacity of this school. When we are talking about absorptive capacity, it is... 1120 01:36:48,540 --> 01:36:58,420 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: It is influenced by several factors, the availability of classrooms, the availability of faculty, teachers, and everything. 1121 01:36:58,420 --> 01:37:10,820 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, sa national number po of the 1.3 million applicants across SUCs, 500,000 lang ang natatanggap and 38%. 1122 01:37:10,820 --> 01:37:16,100 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kaya may mataas, may mababa ang acceptance because of the absorptive capacity. 1123 01:37:16,100 --> 01:37:19,380 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Exactly. And absorptive capacity again goes back to budget. 1124 01:37:19,540 --> 01:37:19,840 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes po. 1125 01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:27,420 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Diba? So, maganda siguro po, Chair Shirley, we can work backwards eh, diba? Let's start with the goals. 1126 01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:37,320 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: May ano ba tayo? Ambition 2040 ba tayo? Kasama ba sa Ambition 2040 yung porsyento na acceptance rate sa ating mga eskwelahan? 1127 01:37:37,460 --> 01:37:40,080 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasama ba? Wala no? Hindi ho na pag-usapan. 1128 01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:44,780 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But maganda siguro ito, Chair Shirley, masama sa ating cluster. 1129 01:37:44,780 --> 01:37:50,700 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: In fact, we'll be passing the National Coordinating Cluster on Education next year. 1130 01:37:51,200 --> 01:38:01,160 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Isa ito sa mga magandang mapag-uusapan. Ano yung goals natin sa acceptance? Ano yung goals natin sa per head cost of education? 1131 01:38:01,300 --> 01:38:10,100 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Then we can move backwards. Kasi I think naintindihan po ng mga senador at mga kongresista na kailangan itaas ang budget ng edukasyon. 1132 01:38:10,100 --> 01:38:14,580 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: In fact, I'm very happy that we're at that point na yung usapan. 1133 01:38:14,780 --> 01:38:22,000 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Huwag na tayong bumaba sa 4% of GDP. Parang tanggap na yun eh. Starting from last year. Last year lang natin ho naabot yan. 1134 01:38:22,740 --> 01:38:30,380 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, we're already there. Ang tanong, ano yung mga goals under that big goal of funding education at 4% of GDP? 1135 01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:38,580 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ano yung mga sub-goals dito? And I think if we identify acceptance rate, per head cost of education, 1136 01:38:38,580 --> 01:38:43,580 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and lastly, Mr. Chairman, babanggitin ko rin, rationalization of courses. 1137 01:38:44,780 --> 01:38:52,220 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Vis-a-vis sectoral and labor needs. Yun siguro yung mga magagandang gawin moving forward. 1138 01:38:52,360 --> 01:39:03,160 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Again, it will not happen overnight. Pero kung yung proseso tuloy-tuloy, I think then we can expect a bigger jump in our budget. 1139 01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:10,680 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi malinaw yung goals natin. And EDCOM 2 po, as you know, kami po ni Chair Joel. Chair, we're the co-chairs of EDCOM 2. 1140 01:39:11,260 --> 01:39:14,160 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And we can commit that we can undergo this planning process. 1141 01:39:14,780 --> 01:39:23,500 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And eventually, pag ginagiging National Coordinating Council on Education na yan next year, it will have even more force that the first output of the NCCE, 1142 01:39:23,820 --> 01:39:28,760 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: tama ba term ko? The NCCE for Higher Ed, is to have all of these planning mechanisms. 1143 01:39:29,260 --> 01:39:33,800 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: At doon natin makikita gano ba kalaki yung gap na kailangan nating itawid. 1144 01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:37,700 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi ngayon po yung nangyayari, paunti-unti lang, incremental yung mga increases. 1145 01:39:38,380 --> 01:39:42,900 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Imbis na major reforms yung tinutulak natin, maliliit na reforma, maliliit na pondo, 1146 01:39:43,320 --> 01:39:44,760 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: hindi po natin nakukuha yung reforma. 1147 01:39:44,780 --> 01:39:50,280 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, ito ang nais po natin.

Bababa yung scholarships. 1164 01:40:51,860 --> 01:40:56,840 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And when you came on board and this Congress, we all made an effort to make sure na pataas to. 1165 01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:59,500 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kaya medyo malaki po yung jump last year. 1166 01:40:59,940 --> 01:41:02,540 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So ngayon naman, mahalaga sa amin na hindi ito bababa. 1167 01:41:02,980 --> 01:41:07,940 Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But if I take it correctly, nais po natin makita, tuloy-tuloy yung pagtaas.

Ronquillo: accounts for only 4.72 1278 01:46:35,580 --> 01:46:37,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of the total proposed 1279 01:46:37,120 --> 01:46:39,320 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUC budget, leaving 1280 01:46:39,320 --> 01:46:41,340 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: a relatively fiscal space 1281 01:46:41,340 --> 01:46:43,420 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for investment and expansion. 1282 01:46:44,460 --> 01:46:45,420 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, at 1283 01:46:45,420 --> 01:46:47,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the first glance, Mr. Chairman, 1284 01:46:47,420 --> 01:46:48,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the MOOE 1285 01:46:48,820 --> 01:46:50,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: looks higher, but 1286 01:46:50,740 --> 01:46:53,320 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: if we will be looking at the granular 1287 01:46:53,320 --> 01:46:55,280 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: level, 58 1288 01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:56,980 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of our SUCs 1289 01:46:56,980 --> 01:46:59,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: suffer decrease in our MOOE. 1290 01:46:59,820 --> 01:47:02,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There are more than 50 1291 01:47:02,220 --> 01:47:04,100 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: who increase their MOOE. If you get 1292 01:47:04,100 --> 01:47:06,300 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the net increase, we have 1293 01:47:06,300 --> 01:47:08,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: increase, but we have to look 1294 01:47:08,180 --> 01:47:09,860 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: into the other SUCs 1295 01:47:09,860 --> 01:47:12,300 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: who suffer decrease in MOOE. 1296 01:47:12,740 --> 01:47:14,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In the next slide, we 1297 01:47:14,160 --> 01:47:14,720 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: have 1298 01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:18,200 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the NEP by region. 1299 01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:20,200 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Of the total budget, 1300 01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:22,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the UP system takes the largest share 1301 01:47:22,180 --> 01:47:23,780 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of 20%, receiving 1302 01:47:23,780 --> 01:47:26,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 26.618 billion, 1303 01:47:26,020 --> 01:47:27,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: followed by region 3. 1304 01:47:27,940 --> 01:47:29,800 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Region 3, I must say, per second. 1305 01:47:29,820 --> 01:47:31,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: At 8%. 1306 01:47:31,940 --> 01:47:34,000 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: With 12 SUCs. Among the 1307 01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:36,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: regions, Mr. Chairman, I think this is your region. 1308 01:47:36,480 --> 01:47:38,060 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We have to tell you that this is the 1309 01:47:38,060 --> 01:47:39,640 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: biggest region in terms of SUCs. 1310 01:47:40,080 --> 01:47:41,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We have 12 SUCs 1311 01:47:41,920 --> 01:47:43,960 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in region 3. So that's why it 1312 01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:45,980 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: got the second highest after 1313 01:47:45,980 --> 01:47:48,260 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: UP, but that's only 8%. 1314 01:47:48,260 --> 01:47:50,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Region 6 and region 1315 01:47:50,120 --> 01:47:51,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: and the MSU system, it's received 1316 01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:53,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: about 7%. Well, 1317 01:47:53,820 --> 01:47:55,960 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: NCR, including UP, and 1318 01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:58,200 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: region 8 account for 6% 1319 01:47:58,200 --> 01:47:59,800 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: each. In the next, 1320 01:47:59,820 --> 01:48:01,660 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: next slide, let's have a comparison 1321 01:48:01,660 --> 01:48:03,620 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of the National Expediture Program 1322 01:48:03,620 --> 01:48:04,420 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: by expense. 1323 01:48:06,140 --> 01:48:07,760 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: You can see in our 1324 01:48:07,760 --> 01:48:08,880 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: table that 1325 01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:11,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: PS, we had an increase of 1326 01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:13,780 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 7.42 billion. That's the highest 1327 01:48:13,780 --> 01:48:15,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: increase, 9.64. But that is 1328 01:48:15,580 --> 01:48:17,620 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: mandatory, Mr. Chairman. And 1329 01:48:17,620 --> 01:48:19,560 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for MOOE, as I have mentioned, 1330 01:48:20,020 --> 01:48:21,960 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: that is 3.58% 1331 01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:23,680 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: increase. That is 1332 01:48:23,680 --> 01:48:25,780 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in general. But I 1333 01:48:25,780 --> 01:48:27,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: was lamenting on the decrease of SUCs 1334 01:48:27,940 --> 01:48:29,800 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in terms of their MOOE. 1335 01:48:29,820 --> 01:48:31,420 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 58 of us po. 1336 01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:34,080 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: For capital outlay, this is 1337 01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:35,500 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: appalling, Mr. Chair. 1338 01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:37,780 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We have in our NEP 1339 01:48:37,780 --> 01:48:39,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 6.36 1340 01:48:40,460 --> 01:48:41,800 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: billion compared to 1341 01:48:41,800 --> 01:48:44,140 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: NEP last year of 9.56 1342 01:48:44,140 --> 01:48:45,800 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: billion. So we had a 1343 01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:47,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: decrease of 33.47%. 1344 01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:49,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So 1345 01:48:50,380 --> 01:48:51,900 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of the total, it looks 1346 01:48:51,900 --> 01:48:53,600 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: like there is an 1347 01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:55,240 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: increase, NEP to NEP. 1348 01:48:55,640 --> 01:48:57,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: NEP 2026 and NEP 1349 01:48:57,520 --> 01:48:58,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 2027. 1350 01:48:59,820 --> 01:49:01,720 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In general, there is an increase of 1351 01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:03,860 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 4.45%. But there 1352 01:49:03,860 --> 01:49:05,860 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: was a very significant 1353 01:49:05,860 --> 01:49:08,000 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: decrease in our capital outlay. 1354 01:49:08,140 --> 01:49:09,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: That is a decrease of 1355 01:49:09,520 --> 01:49:11,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: one-third or 33.47%. 1356 01:49:12,580 --> 01:49:13,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In the 1357 01:49:13,920 --> 01:49:15,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: next slide, we have 1358 01:49:15,820 --> 01:49:17,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the comparison of our current 1359 01:49:17,820 --> 01:49:19,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: NEP of the 2027 1360 01:49:19,580 --> 01:49:20,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: versus GA. 1361 01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:23,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: The presentation 1362 01:49:23,380 --> 01:49:25,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: shows that 15.756 1363 01:49:26,620 --> 01:49:28,060 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: billion for 1364 01:49:28,060 --> 01:49:29,660 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: GA 2026, 1365 01:49:29,820 --> 01:49:31,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: and 6.358 billion 1366 01:49:31,940 --> 01:49:34,280 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for NEP 2027. 1367 01:49:35,740 --> 01:49:36,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: This is 1368 01:49:36,940 --> 01:49:38,960 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 60% below 1369 01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:41,320 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the 2026 GA level, 1370 01:49:41,500 --> 01:49:41,960 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Mr. Chair. 1371 01:49:42,860 --> 01:49:45,100 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, out of this, 1372 01:49:45,680 --> 01:49:47,280 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: there are, as we 1373 01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:49,200 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: lament, there was a 1374 01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:51,320 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: significant decrease in terms of capital 1375 01:49:51,320 --> 01:49:53,240 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: outlay. Comparing 1376 01:49:53,240 --> 01:49:55,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the NEP 2027 1377 01:49:55,180 --> 01:49:56,840 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: to GA 2026, 1378 01:49:56,840 --> 01:49:59,040 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: we had a decrease or a cut 1379 01:49:59,040 --> 01:49:59,460 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of 1380 01:49:59,820 --> 01:50:01,980 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: more than 50%. So, it went down 1381 01:50:01,980 --> 01:50:05,080 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 59.65%. 1382 01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:07,600 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, there are 1383 01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:09,860 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 12 of us who really 1384 01:50:09,860 --> 01:50:12,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: don't have any capital 1385 01:50:12,020 --> 01:50:13,640 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: outlay, whether equipment 1386 01:50:13,640 --> 01:50:15,860 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: or infrastructure. But 1387 01:50:15,860 --> 01:50:18,000 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for SUCs without infrastructure, 1388 01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:19,560 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: we have 1389 01:50:19,560 --> 01:50:21,140 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 25 SUCs. 1390 01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:23,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, that 1391 01:50:23,820 --> 01:50:26,000 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: is our very reason, Mr. Chair, 1392 01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:27,640 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of coming here to appeal for 1393 01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:29,040 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this decrease. 1394 01:50:29,820 --> 01:50:31,300 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Especially for capital outlay. 1395 01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:33,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In the next slide, 1396 01:50:34,020 --> 01:50:36,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this is the comparison 1397 01:50:36,160 --> 01:50:38,080 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of what SUCs proposed 1398 01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:40,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: through our RDC 1399 01:50:40,020 --> 01:50:42,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: versus what was 1400 01:50:42,020 --> 01:50:43,300 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: granted to us. 1401 01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:46,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In summary, SUCs 1402 01:50:46,220 --> 01:50:47,800 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: through our RDCs proposed 1403 01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:49,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 312 billion pesos. 1404 01:50:50,280 --> 01:50:51,480 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But we were given 1405 01:50:51,480 --> 01:50:54,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 134.561 1406 01:50:54,220 --> 01:50:56,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: billion pesos. 1407 01:50:56,880 --> 01:50:58,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, that is a very 1408 01:50:58,180 --> 01:50:59,560 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: big cut, Mr. Chair. 1409 01:50:59,820 --> 01:51:01,780 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And, as you may 1410 01:51:01,780 --> 01:51:03,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: also see, of the cut, 1411 01:51:04,220 --> 01:51:06,040 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: we got the largest cut 1412 01:51:06,040 --> 01:51:08,260 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in MOOE. Of the proposed 1413 01:51:08,260 --> 01:51:10,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 140.2 billion, 1414 01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:11,800 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: only 6.36 billion 1415 01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:13,540 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: was granted. So, that is 1416 01:51:13,540 --> 01:51:16,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: accounting to 4.53%. 1417 01:51:16,380 --> 01:51:17,980 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, only 1418 01:51:17,980 --> 01:51:20,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 4. or less than 5% 1419 01:51:20,020 --> 01:51:21,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of our proposal, Mr. Chair, 1420 01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:23,620 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: was provided for 1421 01:51:23,620 --> 01:51:26,080 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in the NEP. In the next slide, 1422 01:51:27,080 --> 01:51:29,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: we have 1423 01:51:29,160 --> 01:51:30,980 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: also noted this 1424 01:51:30,980 --> 01:51:32,980 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: decrease in research investment 1425 01:51:32,980 --> 01:51:34,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in SUCs. Generally, 1426 01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:37,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for 2027 SUCs, 1427 01:51:38,640 --> 01:51:39,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUC research 1428 01:51:39,580 --> 01:51:40,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: allocation of 1429 01:51:40,920 --> 01:51:42,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A.

Ronquillo: this year, we have an estimated 1523 01:54:49,540 --> 01:54:51,280 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency, or a running deficiency 1524 01:54:51,280 --> 01:54:53,640 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of 2.048 billion. 1525 01:54:54,840 --> 01:54:55,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And because 1526 01:54:55,520 --> 01:54:57,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the NEP 1527 01:54:57,520 --> 01:54:58,840 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: has released in 1528 01:54:59,160 --> 01:55:01,300 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A.

Ronquillo: the estimated 1531 01:55:05,100 --> 01:55:07,260 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency. There will be a 1532 01:55:07,260 --> 01:55:08,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency again of 1533 01:55:08,940 --> 01:55:11,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 2.7 billion. 1534 01:55:11,840 --> 01:55:12,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, that is, 1535 01:55:12,980 --> 01:55:15,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I think, if you will ask 1536 01:55:15,180 --> 01:55:17,100 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUCs, that is our 1537 01:55:17,100 --> 01:55:19,100 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: priority. We are also 1538 01:55:19,100 --> 01:55:21,100 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: lamenting that if we really are 1539 01:55:21,100 --> 01:55:23,140 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: saying that education is our 1540 01:55:23,140 --> 01:55:25,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: priority, why in higher education 1541 01:55:25,180 --> 01:55:27,340 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: there is deficiency? And I think 1542 01:55:27,340 --> 01:55:29,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: something must be done. 1543 01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:31,080 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Something must be corrected so 1544 01:55:31,080 --> 01:55:32,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A.

Ronquillo: anymore year after year. 1546 01:55:35,260 --> 01:55:37,040 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, for this case, we have 1547 01:55:37,040 --> 01:55:38,880 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I think around 5 billion 1548 01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:40,860 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for 2026 and 1549 01:55:40,860 --> 01:55:41,700 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A.

Ronquillo: running deficiency for 2027? 1556 01:55:57,100 --> 01:55:59,100 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In the IRC, 1557 01:55:59,160 --> 01:56:00,100 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: IRR of 1558 01:56:00,100 --> 01:56:02,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Republic Act 10931, 1559 01:56:02,640 --> 01:56:04,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A.

Ronquillo: projected enrollment. Again, 1562 01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:10,880 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: that is the very cost of our 1563 01:56:10,880 --> 01:56:13,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency. The way 1564 01:56:13,180 --> 01:56:15,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: DBM is allocating 1565 01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:16,840 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: us amount 1566 01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:18,900 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: or allocation for FHE, 1567 01:56:18,900 --> 01:56:20,720 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 3, it's not in accordance 1568 01:56:20,720 --> 01:56:22,360 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: with our projected enrollment. 1569 01:56:23,340 --> 01:56:24,680 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: You may ask, 1570 01:56:24,880 --> 01:56:26,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: why? Let's say, for example, 1571 01:56:27,300 --> 01:56:29,000 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in the current NEP, 1572 01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:31,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A.

Ronquillo: transportation, boarding 1591 01:57:06,900 --> 01:57:08,980 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: house, maybe food allowances, 1592 01:57:09,260 --> 01:57:10,980 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: that they support our students individually 1593 01:57:10,980 --> 01:57:12,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: and we recognize that. But with 1594 01:57:12,940 --> 01:57:15,000 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this deficiency, we are shortchanging 1595 01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:17,100 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: our students in terms of quality 1596 01:57:17,100 --> 01:57:19,060 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of education when they 1597 01:57:19,060 --> 01:57:21,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: are already inside the university. 1598 01:57:21,840 --> 01:57:23,040 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, that is our 1599 01:57:23,040 --> 01:57:24,540 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: plea, Mr. Chair. 1600 01:57:25,280 --> 01:57:26,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Next slide. 1601 01:57:27,340 --> 01:57:28,980 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, this is what we are 1602 01:57:29,020 --> 01:57:30,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: sharing a while ago. 1603 01:57:31,080 --> 01:57:32,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There is still uneven growth 1604 01:57:32,740 --> 01:57:35,360 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: or in fiscal year 2027 1605 01:57:35,360 --> 01:57:37,280 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: FHE. Ito po yung sinasabi ko 1606 01:57:37,280 --> 01:57:37,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: kanina. 1607 01:57:39,080 --> 01:57:41,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There are 46 SUCs 1608 01:57:41,160 --> 01:57:43,320 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: without increase 1609 01:57:43,320 --> 01:57:44,960 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in FHE allocation 1610 01:57:44,960 --> 01:57:46,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of 1611 01:57:46,740 --> 01:57:48,960 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 113 state universities. 1612 01:57:49,560 --> 01:57:51,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, for sure, itong 1613 01:57:51,160 --> 01:57:53,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 46 SUCs na ito, there will 1614 01:57:53,220 --> 01:57:54,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: be deficiency because 1615 01:57:54,820 --> 01:57:57,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: at least their enrollment 1616 01:57:57,160 --> 01:57:58,860 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: will increase in 2027. 1617 01:57:59,020 --> 01:58:01,300 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Kahit pa 1% or 2%, 1618 01:58:01,300 --> 01:58:03,200 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: but whatever, there will be 1619 01:58:03,200 --> 01:58:03,860 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency. 1620 01:58:07,060 --> 01:58:08,780 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In the next slide, 1621 01:58:10,660 --> 01:58:11,500 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I was 1622 01:58:11,500 --> 01:58:12,900 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: sharing the 1623 01:58:12,900 --> 01:58:14,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: impact of 1624 01:58:14,920 --> 01:58:16,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the deficiency of 2.9 1625 01:58:16,920 --> 01:58:17,280 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: billion. 1626 01:58:19,780 --> 01:58:21,100 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I would like to 1627 01:58:21,100 --> 01:58:23,140 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: simply illustrate what will be 1628 01:58:23,140 --> 01:58:25,060 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: shortchanged, what our 1629 01:58:25,060 --> 01:58:26,840 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: students will be shortchanged of. 1630 01:58:26,840 --> 01:58:28,880 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Let's say, for example, for a 2.9 1631 01:58:29,020 --> 01:58:31,260 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: billion deficiency, that is equivalent 1632 01:58:31,260 --> 01:58:33,460 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: to 16,000 computers, 1633 01:58:33,460 --> 01:58:35,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 400 classrooms will 1634 01:58:35,520 --> 01:58:37,640 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: not be constructed, 1,000 1635 01:58:37,640 --> 01:58:39,640 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: laboratory equipment or laboratory 1636 01:58:39,640 --> 01:58:42,100 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: units, 2,000 engineering 1637 01:58:42,100 --> 01:58:44,100 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: softwares, 50,000 1638 01:58:44,100 --> 01:58:46,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: books, 1,000 1639 01:58:46,180 --> 01:58:48,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: classroom, that is, 1640 01:58:48,180 --> 01:58:50,060 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: smart campus kits or 1641 01:58:50,060 --> 01:58:52,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: peripulance, and equivalent 1642 01:58:52,380 --> 01:58:54,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: to 2,000, at least, 1643 01:58:54,380 --> 01:58:56,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: research publication support, 1644 01:58:56,740 --> 01:58:58,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: and around 500 1645 01:58:59,020 --> 01:59:00,560 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: extension projects. 1646 01:59:00,560 --> 01:59:02,560 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, this is the impact, a simple 1647 01:59:02,560 --> 01:59:04,560 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: illustration of the impact of 1648 01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:07,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 2.97 billion deficiency. 1649 01:59:07,160 --> 01:59:09,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Meaning to say, for 2025, 1650 01:59:09,160 --> 01:59:11,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: we have this deficiency, so 1651 01:59:11,160 --> 01:59:13,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this is opportunities foregone already 1652 01:59:13,160 --> 01:59:15,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for our students. 1653 01:59:15,160 --> 01:59:17,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Opportunity lost for our students. 1654 01:59:17,160 --> 01:59:19,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Yes, they received TES, but when they 1655 01:59:19,160 --> 01:59:21,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: reach the university, looking like 1656 01:59:21,160 --> 01:59:23,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: we are getting malnourished 1657 01:59:23,160 --> 01:59:25,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: because we don't have this 1658 01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:27,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: support for our institutions. 1659 01:59:27,160 --> 01:59:28,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Thank you. 1660 01:59:29,020 --> 01:59:31,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 10931 guarantees 1661 01:59:31,020 --> 01:59:33,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: not only access, 1662 01:59:33,020 --> 01:59:35,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: but institutional 1663 01:59:35,020 --> 01:59:37,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: capacity, institutional 1664 01:59:37,020 --> 01:59:39,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: empowerment. And I think 1665 01:59:39,020 --> 01:59:41,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: if we will be avoiding 1666 01:59:41,020 --> 01:59:43,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency in our 1667 01:59:43,020 --> 01:59:45,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUCs, we will be guaranteed of 1668 01:59:45,020 --> 01:59:47,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: quality tertiary 1669 01:59:47,020 --> 01:59:49,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: education. In the next 1670 01:59:49,020 --> 01:59:51,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: slide, Mr. Chair, I think this is the question 1671 01:59:51,020 --> 01:59:53,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of Senator Bam a while ago. This 1672 01:59:53,020 --> 01:59:55,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: is our illustration on the 1673 01:59:55,020 --> 01:59:57,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: computed acceptance 1674 01:59:57,020 --> 01:59:59,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: rate or admission rate. 1675 01:59:59,020 --> 01:59:59,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Of the 1676 01:59:59,920 --> 02:00:07,460 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 1.3 million applied for admission, that's the demand, more than 500,000 or a little more than 500,000 was accepted. 1677 02:00:07,600 --> 02:00:12,500 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So that is the 38.46% admission rate, Mr. Chair. 1678 02:00:12,940 --> 02:00:17,080 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So the message from this number is unmistakable, Mr. Chair. 1679 02:00:17,560 --> 02:00:23,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Demand for public higher education is already exceeding the capacity of our institutions to respond. 1680 02:00:23,160 --> 02:00:32,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And I was very happy to listen to the conversation a while ago that to address this low admission rate, I think something must be done. 1681 02:00:33,580 --> 02:00:43,600 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Deficiency must not be there because, you know, as in our illustration, 400 classrooms were not constructed because of the deficiency. 1682 02:00:44,340 --> 02:00:50,080 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So that is, kung wala po sanang deficiency, baka na-expand ang ating capacity over the last four years. 1683 02:00:50,080 --> 02:00:53,080 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Imagine the 12.3 billion, if that will be constructed. 1684 02:00:53,160 --> 02:00:57,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: If that will be concentrated for classroom, there will be more classroom and it will provide for a wider access. 1685 02:00:58,340 --> 02:01:08,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So in the next slide, we are thankful that our students will get more support because of the expanded 10931. 1686 02:01:09,460 --> 02:01:11,340 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We have now the 12325. 1687 02:01:11,620 --> 02:01:22,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We acknowledge that the government continues to face competing demands for limited fiscal space, including social protection, health, basic education, and other essential services. 1688 02:01:22,520 --> 02:01:39,060 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: The challenge, however, is not to choose one vital public investment over the other, but to ensure that it receives adequate and sustainable funding commensurate with its mandate and the needs of its intended to address. 1689 02:01:39,060 --> 02:01:50,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, Mr. Chair, what I am articulating is the expanded 10931. Republic Act 12325 provided expanded support for individual students. 1690 02:01:50,380 --> 02:01:57,760 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But I think we must prioritize the deficiency before we allocate additional benefits. 1691 02:01:57,940 --> 02:01:58,660 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Why not address? 1692 02:01:59,120 --> 02:02:04,480 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Why are we allowing a deficiency in the allocation for free higher education? 1693 02:02:05,040 --> 02:02:09,480 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In our app estimate, Mr. Chair, that is around 85% free. 1694 02:02:09,780 --> 02:02:15,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We are not paid around 15%, while that is not the very tenet of 10931. 1695 02:02:15,400 --> 02:02:20,360 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So I think what we plea, what we appeal, let us give full. 1696 02:02:20,380 --> 02:02:26,260 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Funding to Republic Act 10931 so that our SUCs will no longer suffer these deficiencies. 1697 02:02:26,420 --> 02:02:35,140 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: This is, I may say, injustice to what we have promised them in terms of the full mandate of 10931. 1698 02:02:37,920 --> 02:02:49,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, another plea, as earlier expressed, Mr. Chair, this is what we are really fighting for. 1699 02:02:50,380 --> 02:02:59,000 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Section 54 of the Implementing Rules of Republic Act 10931 provides that the UniFAST Board must determine the composite fee. 1700 02:02:59,400 --> 02:03:02,080 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Ito po yung tinalakay natin kanina with Senator Bam. 1701 02:03:02,840 --> 02:03:04,700 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, or the normative composite fee. 1702 02:03:04,840 --> 02:03:06,560 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Tapos na po si UniFAST. 1703 02:03:07,120 --> 02:03:11,360 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: At in fact, yung sinasabi kayo ng SGV, that is the firm contracted by UniFAST. 1704 02:03:11,680 --> 02:03:15,260 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And based on the result, this is the formula considered. 1705 02:03:15,700 --> 02:03:19,960 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There were series of consultation among SUCs in different clusters. 1706 02:03:19,960 --> 02:03:20,360 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Indicators. 1707 02:03:20,380 --> 02:03:26,100 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I think over the last year SGV proposed this normative formula. 1708 02:03:26,580 --> 02:03:39,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: The normative budget is computed as the standard salaries and wages plus the student based operating costs plus non-faculty personal costs plus repair and maintenance. 1709 02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:44,800 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: One beauty of this formula, this already includes miscellaneous fees, Mr. Chair. 1710 02:03:44,800 --> 02:03:49,200 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: It's not only cost of student tuition fee. 1711 02:03:50,380 --> 02:03:54,460 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: The initial result is around 1,212 pesos per unit. 1712 02:03:55,360 --> 02:04:02,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And that is, I think, the per capita figure being asked by Senator Bam, that is 31,844 per student. 1713 02:04:03,380 --> 02:04:08,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: That on the average, opo, opo, opo, that includes already miscellaneous fees. 1714 02:04:09,280 --> 02:04:20,140 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And I think if we can start with this, I think we must be serious in implementing this specific provisions of 10.931. 1715 02:04:20,380 --> 02:04:34,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, because of the required finance or budget for this, PASUC also proposed alternative upgrade of our tuition fee. 1716 02:04:34,580 --> 02:04:42,760 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: As mentioned, as earlier articulated, there are SUCs collecting less than 100 peso, 50 peso, 12 peso. 1717 02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:49,460 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: This is our proposal for SUCs whose tuition fees are 100 pesos and below. 1718 02:04:49,660 --> 02:04:50,300 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We propose. 1719 02:04:50,380 --> 02:04:56,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 100 or 200 peso increase per unit. 1720 02:04:57,440 --> 02:05:09,640 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And for SUCs whose tuition fee is from 100 pesos to 300 pesos, we are proposing 150 pesos per unit increase. 1721 02:05:10,620 --> 02:05:18,000 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There are, I think, there are 41 SUCs, Mr. Chair, among 113 collecting below 100 peso. 1722 02:05:18,280 --> 02:05:19,700 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And there are one. 1723 02:05:19,700 --> 02:05:25,700 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There are 70 SUCs collecting tuition fee from 101 to 300 peso per unit. 1724 02:05:26,120 --> 02:05:28,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So for them, we propose an increase of 150 peso. 1725 02:05:29,180 --> 02:05:36,040 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: If you note, there is a calibration of increase because those who are collecting lesser must be increased higher. 1726 02:05:36,820 --> 02:05:44,680 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So if this proposal will be taken, we will be requesting 13.37 billion pesos. 1727 02:05:44,680 --> 02:05:49,680 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And for those SUCs collecting more than 300 to 500. 1728 02:05:49,700 --> 02:05:53,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There must be a cap, no more than 500 peso. 1729 02:05:53,300 --> 02:05:57,960 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Meaning, if you are collecting 400 peso already, you will be increased only of 100 peso. 1730 02:05:58,180 --> 02:06:00,340 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So this is calibrated increase, Mr. Chair. 1731 02:06:01,160 --> 02:06:10,440 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But if you are in that bracket, let's say, for example, you are collecting below 100 peso per unit, all of you will be increased by 200 peso per unit. 1732 02:06:11,300 --> 02:06:16,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, I think this is more equitable in our view in PASUC. 1733 02:06:16,520 --> 02:06:19,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But I think this is a little different from. 1734 02:06:19,580 --> 02:06:21,200 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: From what is presented by Ched a while ago. 1735 02:06:21,920 --> 02:06:27,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But since there is difference in the presentation, what we really push for is the SGV formula. 1736 02:06:28,120 --> 02:06:29,280 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We can agree. 1737 02:06:29,460 --> 02:06:30,980 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We can agree on the trans. 1738 02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:35,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So medyo, this is just an alternative proposal. 1739 02:06:36,300 --> 02:06:42,960 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We agree with Ched that if we can talk with DBM and of course, Ched and SUCs, let's agree. 1740 02:06:43,480 --> 02:06:47,720 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But let's make it more scientific, more evidence-based. 1741 02:06:47,720 --> 02:06:49,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Kasi itong amin pong ito, actually. 1742 02:06:49,580 --> 02:06:59,880 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: This is just an assumption, a step gap, the one is just to make it equivalent or uniform, lahat 250. 1743 02:06:59,880 --> 02:07:03,760 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Kung 250 ka na, ba't sumisingil ka ng 240, ang increase mo na lang 10 peso. 1744 02:07:03,760 --> 02:07:05,760 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Ba't ang tanong, is that scientific? 1745 02:07:05,760 --> 02:07:12,840 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So to avoid discussion on this, what we propose is the SGV formula, a calibrated SGV formula. 1746 02:07:12,840 --> 02:07:17,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So that accounts to 13.37 billion, Mr. Chairman. 1747 02:07:17,120 --> 02:07:18,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Next slide. 1748 02:07:19,580 --> 02:07:26,340 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So I think, Mr. Chair, I would like to summarize our ask or our request, our plea. 1749 02:07:26,840 --> 02:07:32,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: The very reason why the 113 SUCs came here today, because of the following. 1750 02:07:34,200 --> 02:07:46,200 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: First is to settle the validated FHE deficiency for fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2026, estimated at around 5 billion pesos. 1751 02:07:46,200 --> 02:07:49,560 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: That is our very first priority. 1752 02:07:49,580 --> 02:08:02,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Second is to provide additional appropriation for capital outlay, especially for 25 SUCs without infrastructure allocation in the 2027 NEP. 1753 02:08:04,200 --> 02:08:12,040 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: That is to expand our capacity and to increase, of course, the quality of our education in our SUCs. 1754 02:08:12,040 --> 02:08:16,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Third, Mr. Chair, is to implement, seriously. 1755 02:08:16,380 --> 02:08:17,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the 1756 02:08:17,740 --> 02:08:20,680 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: article or the section 1757 02:08:20,680 --> 02:08:22,760 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 54 of the implementing rules 1758 02:08:22,760 --> 02:08:24,840 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of the IRR or the IRR 1759 02:08:24,840 --> 02:08:26,840 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of the 10931, that is 1760 02:08:26,840 --> 02:08:28,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: to implement the normative cost 1761 02:08:28,740 --> 02:08:30,560 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: that is also our 1762 02:08:30,560 --> 02:08:32,700 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: request. And fourth is 1763 02:08:32,700 --> 02:08:34,800 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the consistent use of projected 1764 02:08:34,800 --> 02:08:36,600 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: enrollment as a primary 1765 02:08:36,600 --> 02:08:38,840 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: basis for FHE. What do we mean, Mr. Chair, 1766 02:08:38,900 --> 02:08:39,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: by that request? 1767 02:08:41,580 --> 02:08:42,620 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Consistent use 1768 02:08:42,620 --> 02:08:44,600 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of the projected enrollment, that when 1769 02:08:44,600 --> 02:08:46,760 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: budget will be allocated, it must be 1770 02:08:46,760 --> 02:08:48,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: based on the projected enrollment. 1771 02:08:49,440 --> 02:08:50,700 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Sana po, i-allow 1772 02:08:50,700 --> 02:08:53,080 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: ang SUC na mag-project 1773 02:08:53,080 --> 02:08:54,000 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: ng kanyang enrollment. 1774 02:08:55,000 --> 02:08:56,440 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We do that always. 1775 02:08:56,860 --> 02:08:58,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Every year, we are submitting to DBM 1776 02:08:58,940 --> 02:09:00,500 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: our projected enrollment. 1777 02:09:01,020 --> 02:09:02,620 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But DBM seemingly 1778 02:09:02,620 --> 02:09:04,660 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: like having their own formula 1779 02:09:04,660 --> 02:09:06,620 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in our last... 1780 02:09:09,180 --> 02:09:12,660 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So that's what we 1781 02:09:12,660 --> 02:09:14,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: would like to reconcile with DBM. Use the 1782 02:09:14,580 --> 02:09:16,500 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: projected enrollment. They are always 1783 02:09:16,500 --> 02:09:17,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: saying, ours is baseless. 1784 02:09:18,940 --> 02:09:19,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But we 1785 02:09:19,820 --> 02:09:22,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: don't agree. They are saying that 1786 02:09:22,380 --> 02:09:24,440 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: they are the ones projecting because what we 1787 02:09:24,440 --> 02:09:26,260 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: are saying, according to them, 1788 02:09:26,640 --> 02:09:28,480 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: is without basis. 1789 02:09:29,640 --> 02:09:30,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, we 1790 02:09:30,400 --> 02:09:32,460 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: always base it again on 1791 02:09:32,460 --> 02:09:34,600 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the number of faculty, the number 1792 02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:36,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of classroom, even the number 1793 02:09:36,400 --> 02:09:38,480 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of shifts of classes, and even 1794 02:09:38,480 --> 02:09:40,680 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the modality, whether it is blended, 1795 02:09:41,180 --> 02:09:42,340 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: face-to-face, or online. 1796 02:09:42,920 --> 02:09:44,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So that must also be factored. 1797 02:09:44,580 --> 02:09:46,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Let's not only count the physical 1798 02:09:46,580 --> 02:09:48,500 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: seats. Let's also count 1799 02:09:48,500 --> 02:09:50,540 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: even the digital seats. It must 1800 02:09:50,540 --> 02:09:52,500 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: be included in the 1801 02:09:52,500 --> 02:09:54,680 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: absorptive 1802 02:09:54,680 --> 02:09:55,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: capacity. 1803 02:09:56,760 --> 02:09:58,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And, Mr. Chair, 1804 02:09:58,880 --> 02:10:00,640 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I hope that you also support 1805 02:10:00,640 --> 02:10:02,680 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUCs in strengthening funding 1806 02:10:02,680 --> 02:10:04,000 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for research and innovation. 1807 02:10:04,640 --> 02:10:06,620 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And finally, to provide SUCs with 1808 02:10:06,620 --> 02:10:08,540 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: adequate resources to perform 1809 02:10:08,540 --> 02:10:10,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the respective mandates, not simply 1810 02:10:10,520 --> 02:10:12,600 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: to keep operating, but to educate, 1811 02:10:12,600 --> 02:10:14,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: innovate, serve the communities, 1812 02:10:14,580 --> 02:10:16,540 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: and contribute to national development. 1813 02:10:17,520 --> 02:10:18,480 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Mr. Chair, I think 1814 02:10:18,480 --> 02:10:19,620 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I still have one minute. 1815 02:10:21,080 --> 02:10:21,680 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: This is... 1816 02:10:21,680 --> 02:10:22,780 Senator Joel Villanueva: Actually, they have 1817 02:10:22,780 --> 02:10:26,560 Senator Joel Villanueva: been pressing the plus 30 1818 02:10:26,560 --> 02:10:28,180 Senator Joel Villanueva: for like 60 times already. 1819 02:10:28,640 --> 02:10:30,420 Senator Joel Villanueva: I wonder who that is. 1820 02:10:30,700 --> 02:10:32,140 Senator Joel Villanueva: And we will 1821 02:10:32,140 --> 02:10:34,680 Senator Joel Villanueva: file a resolution to investigate 1822 02:10:34,680 --> 02:10:35,900 Senator Joel Villanueva: in the Senate. 1823 02:10:36,320 --> 02:10:37,680 Senator Joel Villanueva: Please continue, President. 1824 02:10:38,100 --> 02:10:40,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: This is what we earnestly pray 1825 02:10:40,580 --> 02:10:42,140 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for, Mr. Chair, this slide, 1826 02:10:42,400 --> 02:10:44,140 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this summary of our ask. 1827 02:10:44,580 --> 02:10:46,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And I hope the good Chair, 1828 02:10:46,120 --> 02:10:48,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: and I am very happy to present this 1829 02:10:48,400 --> 02:10:49,840 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: always to our CST Chair, 1830 02:10:50,240 --> 02:10:52,420 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: because we know that if we will 1831 02:10:52,420 --> 02:10:54,300 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: not be able to provide these to our 1832 02:10:54,300 --> 02:10:56,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUCs, this is actually 1833 02:10:56,220 --> 02:10:58,300 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: a reduction 1834 02:10:58,300 --> 02:11:00,600 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of quality of education. 1835 02:11:01,840 --> 02:11:02,580 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Nagkakaroon ako kasi 1836 02:11:02,580 --> 02:11:04,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: ng notion. Diba, meron tayong sinasabi 1837 02:11:04,820 --> 02:11:06,460 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: na sa ngayon, pinakamalaki 1838 02:11:06,460 --> 02:11:08,440 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: ang budget sa education in history. 1839 02:11:08,880 --> 02:11:10,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I think, what percent? Around 1840 02:11:10,380 --> 02:11:11,760 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 4% of our GDP. 1841 02:11:12,420 --> 02:11:14,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 5%. So, more or less, 1842 02:11:14,580 --> 02:11:16,340 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: what I'm saying is, in this country, 1843 02:11:16,440 --> 02:11:17,800 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: when we say education, it's the 1844 02:11:17,800 --> 02:11:19,820 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: but 1845 02:11:19,820 --> 02:11:22,340 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: are we allowing that there is 1846 02:11:22,340 --> 02:11:24,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency? There is increase 1847 02:11:24,220 --> 02:11:26,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in budget education, but why 1848 02:11:26,220 --> 02:11:28,460 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: there is deficiency in the pre-higher 1849 02:11:28,460 --> 02:11:30,060 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: education? So, I think the 1850 02:11:30,060 --> 02:11:31,800 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: higher education is always 1851 02:11:31,800 --> 02:11:34,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: short-changed, though there is an increase in budget. 1852 02:11:34,500 --> 02:11:36,240 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, I think our students 1853 02:11:36,240 --> 02:11:38,460 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in the SUCs don't deserve 1854 02:11:38,460 --> 02:11:40,160 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this decrease in 1855 02:11:40,160 --> 02:11:42,240 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: funding for the pre-higher 1856 02:11:42,240 --> 02:11:44,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: education. It's totally not 1857 02:11:44,220 --> 02:11:44,560 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: free. 1858 02:11:44,580 --> 02:11:46,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And I hope that 1859 02:11:46,380 --> 02:11:48,360 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the good chair will help 1860 02:11:48,360 --> 02:11:50,480 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUCs in this respect. And of course, 1861 02:11:50,700 --> 02:11:52,620 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: our second wish is the immediate 1862 02:11:52,620 --> 02:11:54,720 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: implementation of the 1863 02:11:54,720 --> 02:11:56,620 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: implementation of the 1864 02:11:56,620 --> 02:11:57,840 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: UniFAST-determined normative cost. Thank you, Mr. Chair. 1865 02:11:58,400 --> 02:12:00,100 Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you. Thank you very much, 1866 02:12:00,520 --> 02:12:02,000 Senator Joel Villanueva: Dr. Tirso. Again, again, 1867 02:12:02,800 --> 02:12:04,640 Senator Joel Villanueva: we thank and 1868 02:12:04,640 --> 02:12:06,580 Senator Joel Villanueva: appreciate the presence of our 1869 02:12:06,580 --> 02:12:08,420 Senator Joel Villanueva: SUC presidents who are 1870 02:12:08,420 --> 02:12:10,280 Senator Joel Villanueva: all here today.

Gatchalian: But I'll start with itong increase sa PGH, UP PGH last year, kay Doc Legaspi. 2569 02:50:49,340 --> 02:50:51,340 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Last year, nagdagdag ang Senate ng 1.8 billion. 2570 02:50:53,340 --> 02:50:55,340 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Yes. 2571 02:50:55,340 --> 02:51:01,340 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And remember, you gave us a wish list, although hindi natin na-finance lahat. 2572 02:51:01,340 --> 02:51:09,340 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I just want to get an update dito sa 1.8 billion na augment ng Senado para sa PGH, 2573 02:51:09,340 --> 02:51:17,340 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: considering that mahalaga ang papel ng PGH because of research and also because of its hospital operations. 2574 02:51:17,340 --> 02:51:27,900 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: So itong 1.8 billion ay karagdagang pondo para sa drugs and medicine supplies, yung MOOE po na 1.04 billion. 2575 02:51:27,900 --> 02:51:47,600 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: At yung pong ating bagong mandato na zero balance billing na 800 million, at saka 15 million po for our project for a very unique Filipino disease called X-linked dystonia Parkinsonism, or Lubag of Panay. 2576 02:51:47,600 --> 02:51:50,340 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Ayun po. 2577 02:51:50,340 --> 02:51:56,580 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: kakatanggap lang po namin ng pondo through the PISARO. 2578 02:51:57,580 --> 02:51:59,520 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: So we just received it I think a month ago. 2579 02:52:00,960 --> 02:52:04,800 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: But so far this morning of the 800 million po, 2580 02:52:05,480 --> 02:52:10,840 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: ang aming na-obligate ay almost 500 million, more than 500 million na po. 2581 02:52:10,840 --> 02:52:17,800 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Ang na-obligate at na-liquidate for the 800 million zero balance billing. 2582 02:52:17,800 --> 02:52:23,960 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Ganun po karami yung utang namin sa mga suppliers for the year that passed. 2583 02:52:24,400 --> 02:52:27,820 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Yung 1 billion naman po, na-ano na po, 2584 02:52:29,040 --> 02:52:34,380 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: nabangga na po namin sa aming annual procurement plan. 2585 02:52:34,380 --> 02:52:40,060 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: And it should be obligating and disbursing soon, this 1 billion pesos po. 2586 02:52:42,560 --> 02:52:46,960 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Itong in-augment natin primarily went to MOE. 2587 02:52:46,960 --> 02:52:51,060 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And also zero balance billing. 2588 02:52:51,240 --> 02:52:52,420 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Which is MOE rin yun? 2589 02:52:53,000 --> 02:52:59,420 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Hindi po. So ang zero balance billing po ay to pay for services. 2590 02:52:59,660 --> 02:53:01,720 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Ang MOE po kailangan namin i-bid. 2591 02:53:01,980 --> 02:53:07,080 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Kunwari may gamot, bibili kami ng medication, ng drugs, chemicals, reagents, 2592 02:53:07,160 --> 02:53:11,120 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: or the other supplies needed for patients. 2593 02:53:11,320 --> 02:53:14,220 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Yung zero balance billing po is paying for the service. 2594 02:53:14,220 --> 02:53:16,820 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Kunwari po ay pinasiti-scan or MRI. 2595 02:53:16,960 --> 02:53:17,960 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Or PET-CT scan. 2596 02:53:18,540 --> 02:53:21,300 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Or may ginawa pong operasyon or procedure. 2597 02:53:22,060 --> 02:53:25,620 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Yung service po na ito, ito yung babayaran ng zero balance billing. 2598 02:53:27,360 --> 02:53:30,020 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Nasa MOE rin siya, diba? Yung zero balance billing? 2599 02:53:30,020 --> 02:53:33,920 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Nandun rin po siya, pero may special po siyang kategorya. 2600 02:53:33,920 --> 02:53:39,120 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Para hindi po siya kailangan i-bid out for drugs, medicines, and supplies. 2601 02:53:39,860 --> 02:53:46,020 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And gusto ko lang malaman, Dok, itong zero balance billing is we want to... 2602 02:53:46,960 --> 02:54:01,340 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ...increase or at least maintain for 2027 for the entire DOH, lahat ng DOH hospitals, including yung mga specialty hospitals. 2603 02:54:01,880 --> 02:54:10,540 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So in your case, sa PGH, itong zero balance billing na idinagdag ng Senate, is this enough or is it kulang? 2604 02:54:10,540 --> 02:54:13,840 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Or ano bang experience ng PGH? 2605 02:54:14,840 --> 02:54:16,780 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Katulad po ng sinabi ko nung kanina. 2606 02:54:16,960 --> 02:54:25,180 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: May kulang pa po ng konti for 2027, 600 million, para lang po mapantayan yung aming nagagawa in 2026. 2607 02:54:25,960 --> 02:54:41,000 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: So tama lang po itong, kung mabalik lang po yung aming 800 million na shortfall for our submitted post-budget for 2027 billion, 2608 02:54:41,000 --> 02:54:45,360 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: we will be able to carry out the zero balance billing program for 2027. 2609 02:54:45,560 --> 02:54:46,720 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But how much, Dok? 2610 02:54:46,960 --> 02:54:49,620 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: For the zero balance billing. 2611 02:54:49,960 --> 02:54:51,860 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: It's around 2 billion pesos a year po. 2612 02:54:52,080 --> 02:54:53,640 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: 2 billion pesos a year. 2613 02:54:53,660 --> 02:54:55,720 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then of which, ang nabigay? 2614 02:54:56,560 --> 02:54:59,060 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Last year po, nabigyan ng 1.3 billion. 2615 02:54:59,180 --> 02:55:00,780 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 1.3, so may balance sa 700. 2616 02:55:00,780 --> 02:55:01,400 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Opo. 2617 02:55:02,540 --> 02:55:13,300 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Pagka po lang kukulang, ginagamit ng hospital ang income or savings para po tuloy-tuloy na mabigay ang servisyo sa zero balance billing. 2618 02:55:13,300 --> 02:55:13,400 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Opo. 2619 02:55:13,400 --> 02:55:15,080 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi yun ang... 2620 02:55:15,080 --> 02:55:16,780 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Of course, yun ang ating... 2621 02:55:16,960 --> 02:55:20,620 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: battle cry right now, yung zero balance billing. 2622 02:55:21,000 --> 02:55:25,540 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So yung mga constituents natin na pumupunta sa public hospitals, 2623 02:55:26,260 --> 02:55:28,200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: regardless of your income, 2624 02:55:28,920 --> 02:55:32,260 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: you can avail of the zero balance billing. 2625 02:55:32,600 --> 02:55:36,620 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So yun yung we're trying to protect that for 2027. 2626 02:55:37,060 --> 02:55:39,660 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: If I may explain, Mr. Chair, 2627 02:55:39,660 --> 02:55:45,240 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: ang zero balance billing po ngayon ay 100% sa ating mga indigent patients. 2628 02:55:46,080 --> 02:55:46,760 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: So, 2629 02:55:46,960 --> 02:56:00,600 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: meron po kaming meeting ng PhilHealth at ng DOH na paano pag-aralan na iaakyat po ito sa mga lower middle income patients or even the middle income patients which actually expands universal health care coverage. 2630 02:56:00,600 --> 02:56:04,500 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: So, meron pong mga programa tulad ng EMA-EFIP. 2631 02:56:05,000 --> 02:56:12,000 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Pagka dinagdag po natin sa current funding ng PhilHealth, ng income ng hospital, ng savings, 2632 02:56:12,840 --> 02:56:16,800 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: we can now see a path towards expanding zero balance. 2633 02:56:16,960 --> 02:56:41,500 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Billing to those already in the pay wards, hindi naman sa pay single room pero nasa ward po, and hopefully mga teachers ang maliit lang ang sweldo o ating mga government workers ang maliit lang ang sweldo pero nasa pay floors, nasa pay wards, mako-cover na lang po hopefully ng zero balance billing or at least konti na lang ang kanilang ilalabas. So yun po yung pinag-aaralan ngayon. 2634 02:56:41,800 --> 02:56:44,200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I think that's also, 2635 02:56:44,200 --> 02:56:46,240 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Right now, kasi kung nasa pay ward ka, 2636 02:56:46,240 --> 02:56:48,000 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ang pumapasok is yung 2637 02:56:48,000 --> 02:56:49,200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: MAIP. 2638 02:56:49,300 --> 02:56:51,800 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yung MAIP. 2639 02:56:51,800 --> 02:56:55,180 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yung medical assistance, MAIP, yun ang pumapasok. 2640 02:56:55,960 --> 02:57:01,880 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But if you're outside of the pay ward, dito na pumapasok si zero balance billing. 2641 02:57:02,440 --> 02:57:02,640 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Correct. 2642 02:57:03,380 --> 02:57:14,240 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Pero kung kayo po, kahit may kaya kayo, ang prinsipi ng zero balance billing, kahit may kaya kayo at kayo humiga sa isang charity bed, zero pa rin ho kayo. 2643 02:57:14,240 --> 02:57:14,700 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Correct. 2644 02:57:14,700 --> 02:57:26,180 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's where we are balancing kasi since uncovered lang naman ng zero balance ay yung charity ward or the pay ward. 2645 02:57:27,740 --> 02:57:33,560 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Marami kasing cases sa mga government hospitals dahil sobrang puno. 2646 02:57:33,560 --> 02:57:41,780 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang occupancy rate ng government hospital naglalaro anything between 130% to almost 200% in some cases. 2647 02:57:42,700 --> 02:57:44,560 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Nafaforce sila, napapwere sa sila. 2648 02:57:44,700 --> 02:57:47,060 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sa pay wards. 2649 02:57:47,260 --> 02:57:47,540 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Opo. 2650 02:57:47,900 --> 02:57:53,180 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pag na-forsa sila sa pay wards, hindi naman sila maka-avail ng zero balance billing. 2651 02:57:53,540 --> 02:57:58,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So doon na pumapasok yung medical assistance or MAIP. 2652 02:57:59,360 --> 02:58:11,700 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Yung bagong MAIP, yung bagong programa, ito po ay as end users, mas madali po namin nagagamit ito kasi po ang approving authority lang ay yung medical center chief. 2653 02:58:12,220 --> 02:58:14,700 PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D.

Gatchalian: The same yung miscellaneous cost. 2791 03:10:10,740 --> 03:10:14,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T.

Gatchalian: So with that, hindi na tayo... 2794 03:10:20,740 --> 03:10:24,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang punta ko, hindi na tayo magkakaroon ng deficiency in the next few years. 2795 03:10:24,740 --> 03:10:28,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Assuming na projected na yung gamit natin. 2796 03:10:28,740 --> 03:10:29,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Tama? 2797 03:10:29,740 --> 03:10:33,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi we already settled yung 12 billion deficiency. 2798 03:10:33,740 --> 03:10:37,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: What we don't want is magkaroon na naman ng utang moving forward. 2799 03:10:37,740 --> 03:10:38,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Mr. Chair. 2800 03:10:38,740 --> 03:10:40,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: At tagutin ko muna. 2801 03:10:40,740 --> 03:10:41,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes, sir. 2802 03:10:41,740 --> 03:10:43,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Nakikita ko po yung punto nyo. 2803 03:10:43,740 --> 03:10:46,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: But to avoid the deficiency. 2804 03:10:46,740 --> 03:10:57,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: But we can only avoid deficiency if we establish a common formula for the absorptive capacity. 2805 03:10:57,740 --> 03:10:59,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kasi may mga... 2806 03:10:59,740 --> 03:11:05,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: I have the data that 68% of the 113 SUC accept students beyond... 2807 03:11:05,740 --> 03:11:06,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Hmm. 2808 03:11:06,740 --> 03:11:09,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Students beyond their absorptive capacity. 2809 03:11:09,740 --> 03:11:11,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So we have the data. 2810 03:11:11,740 --> 03:11:15,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So kailangan kaya sabi kanina, pinag-usapan kanina. 2811 03:11:15,740 --> 03:11:20,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yeah, 68% exceeded their estimated enrollment capacity. 2812 03:11:20,740 --> 03:11:25,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 32% were within or below their estimated enrollment capacity. 2813 03:11:25,740 --> 03:11:32,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So we really cannot project unless we have a common equation across 113 SUCs. 2814 03:11:32,740 --> 03:11:33,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Oo. 2815 03:11:33,740 --> 03:11:35,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ba't yung absorptive capacity niya? 2816 03:11:35,740 --> 03:11:38,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi naman siya kasama doon... 2817 03:11:38,740 --> 03:11:43,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Binibilang na rin natin siya sa kanyang reimbursements. 2818 03:11:43,740 --> 03:11:44,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba? 2819 03:11:44,740 --> 03:11:46,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So kasama na siya eh. 2820 03:11:46,740 --> 03:11:52,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So my point is number of students slash yung per unit cost, yun ang ating binabayad sa kanya. 2821 03:11:52,740 --> 03:11:55,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So hindi na tayo magkaka-utang moving forward. 2822 03:11:55,740 --> 03:11:57,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yun lang ang gusto ko malaman. 2823 03:11:57,740 --> 03:11:58,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes. 2824 03:11:58,740 --> 03:11:59,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes po. 2825 03:11:59,740 --> 03:12:00,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Tama po. 2826 03:12:00,740 --> 03:12:03,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Nag-accumulate yung utang eh. 2827 03:12:03,740 --> 03:12:07,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: What we want is to stop the deficiency first. 2828 03:12:07,740 --> 03:12:17,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then after stopping the deficiency first, then we talk about the reasonable per unit cost per student. 2829 03:12:17,740 --> 03:12:20,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba? Yun ang next move natin. 2830 03:12:20,740 --> 03:12:24,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi nga iba-ibang school, iba-iba ang cost. Diba? 2831 03:12:24,740 --> 03:12:28,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: May malaking school, mas malaki ang cost. Mas maliit school, mas maliit ang cost. 2832 03:12:28,740 --> 03:12:32,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So pag-uusapan naman natin yan moving forward. No? 2833 03:12:32,740 --> 03:12:33,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes. 2834 03:12:33,740 --> 03:12:41,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But we're not gonna have any deficiency or utang in the next, moving forward. Tama? 2835 03:12:41,740 --> 03:12:42,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Tama po. 2836 03:12:42,740 --> 03:12:43,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Okay. Alright. 2837 03:12:43,740 --> 03:12:46,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yeah, that's what I want to cover. 2838 03:12:46,740 --> 03:12:48,740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Si Dr. Sorieta wants to… 2839 03:12:48,740 --> 03:12:52,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Mr. Chair, to add some insight to the discussion. 2840 03:12:52,740 --> 03:13:01,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Tama po kayo na kung sinusunod lang po ang allocation basis sa projected enrollment, wala pong deficiency. 2841 03:13:01,740 --> 03:13:08,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Alam po ninyo sa 2027, by the time we speak, siguradong meron ng deficiency. 2842 03:13:08,740 --> 03:13:17,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Kasi 46 among our SUCs now are allocated the same as the allocation for FHC in 2026. 2843 03:13:17,740 --> 03:13:23,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Ngayon po, by the time we speak, meaning to say, wala na tayong room ngayon for increase. 2844 03:13:23,740 --> 03:13:29,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Kasi ang budget na ibinigay sa SUC, 46 SUCs, for 2027 sa FHC, 2845 03:13:29,740 --> 03:13:33,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: kuneope lang po yung budget nila ng FHC ng 2026. 2846 03:13:33,740 --> 03:13:37,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So hindi pa po ginagamit, which I think that's in the special provision, 2847 03:13:37,740 --> 03:13:44,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: that the allocation must be determined by the projected enrollment. 2848 03:13:44,740 --> 03:13:49,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Ngayon, hindi ko rin po alam kung why DBM is not following that. 2849 03:13:49,740 --> 03:13:56,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Sabi nila, ayaw nilang sundin yung binigay naming projected enrollment kasi wala raw basis. 2850 03:13:56,740 --> 03:13:58,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Saan ba natin generally 2851 03:13:58,740 --> 03:14:01,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: kukuhanin ang projected enrollment? 2852 03:14:01,740 --> 03:14:07,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: It goes without saying that when you project enrollment, you will count the number of your chairs. 2853 03:14:07,740 --> 03:14:12,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But in counting the number of chairs, we must also count the digital chairs, the digital seats. 2854 03:14:12,740 --> 03:14:16,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: It's not peg must be to the physical chairs. 2855 03:14:16,740 --> 03:14:22,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: The number of teachers, or even modality, or even number of shifts. 2856 03:14:22,740 --> 03:14:27,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Kung morning shifts, afternoon shifts, meron pa ding evening shifts ng klase. 2857 03:14:27,740 --> 03:14:29,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Ang number of shifts, modality. 2858 03:14:29,740 --> 03:14:35,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I have some reservation on the formula being introduced to determine the absorptive capacity. 2859 03:14:35,740 --> 03:14:37,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Tanong po, Mr. Chair. 2860 03:14:37,740 --> 03:14:47,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Sa 10931, kasi ang aming pong reservation dyan sa absorptive capacity, baka gamitin yan as a cap of our enrollment 2861 03:14:47,740 --> 03:14:51,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: if we will be counting the number of seats and the number of faculty. 2862 03:14:51,740 --> 03:14:56,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, where shall we base our absorptive capacity? 2863 03:14:56,740 --> 03:14:59,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: To our current limitation or to the demand? 2864 03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:03,500 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Let's say, for example, just to give context to our discussion, 2865 03:15:04,260 --> 03:15:10,360 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this 2025, there are 1.3 million students who sought admission to our SUCs. 2866 03:15:10,820 --> 03:15:19,520 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And only 500,000 were admitted, meaning we were not able to admit 800,000 students. 2867 03:15:20,700 --> 03:15:25,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, if we will be stretching our capacity, let's say, for example, a bit, 2868 03:15:25,800 --> 03:15:27,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: baka maging 600,000 sana. 2869 03:15:27,400 --> 03:15:33,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, let's say, for example, ako last year, my enrollment, let's say, for example, is 60,000. 2870 03:15:34,240 --> 03:15:40,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Maybe it's safe for me to say na I can stretch by finding more or looking for more faculty. 2871 03:15:40,600 --> 03:15:45,140 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I may endeavor to find more chairs next school year. 2872 03:15:45,900 --> 03:15:50,020 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I should not be limited by my last year's number of chairs. 2873 03:15:50,820 --> 03:15:55,880 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I must not be limited by my last year's number of teachers because I can hire teachers. 2874 03:15:57,400 --> 03:16:00,100 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Because of the smart campuses that we have now, 2875 03:16:00,260 --> 03:16:04,140 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: some of our SUCs can deliberate blended to increase the capacity. 2876 03:16:04,840 --> 03:16:07,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I have some opportunity to talk to, let's say, Arizona State. 2877 03:16:08,420 --> 03:16:10,700 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And I asked them, what is your number of students? 2878 03:16:11,740 --> 03:16:16,260 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: He told me, for those degree-seeking, we have 200,000 students 2879 03:16:16,260 --> 03:16:22,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: because we believe that our online classes are as effective as the face-to-face classes. 2880 03:16:22,720 --> 03:16:26,040 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And those non-degree-seeking, or let's say, conventional or non-conventional, 2881 03:16:26,040 --> 03:16:27,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: they have 500,000. 2882 03:16:27,400 --> 03:16:31,440 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, they are not only considering the number of seats. 2883 03:16:32,300 --> 03:16:37,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Be that as it may, Mr. Chair, I think, dapat na sinusunod pa rin ng DBM 2884 03:16:37,120 --> 03:16:39,200 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: kung anong piniroject nating enrollment. 2885 03:16:39,980 --> 03:16:42,600 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Siguro naman, walang magpuproject sa atin ng masyadong malaki 2886 03:16:42,600 --> 03:16:46,960 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: kasi hindi mo din siya masisingil because the reimbursement is based on actual enrollment. 2887 03:16:47,740 --> 03:16:51,640 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: If, let's say, for example, I have miscalculation, I have 1,000 enrollees now. 2888 03:16:52,100 --> 03:16:55,720 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I projected, let's say, I have 1,050 next year. 2889 03:16:56,360 --> 03:16:57,380 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, in actuality, I have 1,000 enrollees now. 2890 03:16:57,400 --> 03:16:59,000 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In actual, I only have 1,040. 2891 03:16:59,820 --> 03:17:05,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, hindi naman ako babayaran ng 1,050 because the payment is based on the actual enrollment. 2892 03:17:06,580 --> 03:17:11,660 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There may be some differences in allocation or in projection. 2893 03:17:12,360 --> 03:17:15,240 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: What I'm saying is, maybe, baka pwedeng maglagay nila ng cap. 2894 03:17:15,740 --> 03:17:21,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Let's say, wala sa ating tataas ng 5%, rule of thumb, or let's say 3%. 2895 03:17:21,400 --> 03:17:24,000 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, kung ikaw yung mag-i-stretch, let's say, for example, 2896 03:17:24,000 --> 03:17:27,200 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: ng number of seats, number of teachers, number of shifts, 2897 03:17:27,400 --> 03:17:29,900 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: so, I think, hindi mo na rin lalampasan dapat. 2898 03:17:30,140 --> 03:17:31,620 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I think, we must agree on that. 2899 03:17:32,360 --> 03:17:34,540 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Ang masakit, Mr. Chair, sinabi ko nga po kanina, 2900 03:17:35,440 --> 03:17:39,620 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 46 lang HUC ngayon, same lang ang allocation ng FHC. 2901 03:17:39,880 --> 03:17:41,060 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, for sure, deficiency ngayon. 2902 03:17:42,140 --> 03:17:45,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, mukhang hindi natitigil, nakakaya namang sabihin, 2903 03:17:45,260 --> 03:17:48,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: taon-taon na po, Mr. Chair, ang ating usapan, deficiency. 2904 03:17:48,980 --> 03:17:51,880 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: If we're saying that education is the first priority of this Constitution, 2905 03:17:52,320 --> 03:17:55,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in our Constitution, I think, we must not allow deficiency. 2906 03:17:55,740 --> 03:17:55,860 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Okay? 2907 03:17:57,400 --> 03:17:58,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In higher education. 2908 03:17:59,580 --> 03:18:01,720 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: That's our submission, Mr. Chair. Thank you. 2909 03:18:02,920 --> 03:18:05,920 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pero, di ba ang computation ngayon, based on projected? 2910 03:18:06,700 --> 03:18:07,240 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Hindi po. 2911 03:18:07,780 --> 03:18:08,420 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Hindi sinunod. 2912 03:18:08,440 --> 03:18:12,300 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's in the special provision. 2913 03:18:13,040 --> 03:18:13,260 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Di ba? 2914 03:18:13,900 --> 03:18:15,060 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Tama po, pinalagyan natin yan. 2915 03:18:15,080 --> 03:18:22,500 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: For example, for your 2027 enrollment, projection nyo, yun ang pupunduhan. 2916 03:18:23,080 --> 03:18:23,300 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Di ba? 2917 03:18:23,480 --> 03:18:24,840 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's in the special provision. 2918 03:18:24,840 --> 03:18:25,320 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Apo. 2919 03:18:25,480 --> 03:18:26,160 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kung di nga. 2920 03:18:26,280 --> 03:18:26,760 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kung di ma. 2921 03:18:27,400 --> 03:18:29,720 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Itong deficiency, hindi matatapos eh. 2922 03:18:29,880 --> 03:18:30,280 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Tama po. 2923 03:18:30,320 --> 03:18:31,860 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, hindi ba ganun ang... 2924 03:18:31,860 --> 03:18:32,660 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Hindi po. 2925 03:18:32,740 --> 03:18:33,940 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang part of the calculation? 2926 03:18:34,140 --> 03:18:34,900 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Thank you. 2927 03:18:37,400 --> 03:18:37,960 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yeah. 2928 03:18:38,360 --> 03:18:44,040 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Enrollment projection, I believe, is a function of the absorptive capacity of university. 2929 03:18:44,740 --> 03:18:52,140 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And when we talk of the absorptive capacity of SUC, it is played by different variables. 2930 03:18:52,920 --> 03:18:55,040 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Number one is the student-faculty ratio. 2931 03:18:55,240 --> 03:18:57,240 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Number two is the number of classes. 2932 03:18:57,400 --> 03:19:01,000 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Classrooms, availability, and laboratory, and others po. 2933 03:19:01,000 --> 03:19:17,520 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: The absorptive capacity formula should be solved first before we can come up with an ideal projection, Mr. Surespy. 2934 03:19:17,520 --> 03:19:26,520 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, kailangan po, siguro po, para hindi po magdidiscuss ng kung paano gagawin ang enrollment projection. 2935 03:19:27,400 --> 03:19:36,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We first settle on the formula how to have the proper equation for enrollment projection po. 2936 03:19:37,320 --> 03:19:38,320 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Iba-iba po kasi. 2937 03:19:38,320 --> 03:19:48,420 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ang isang university has a faculty-student ratio of one faculty to 60, may one is to 25, one is to 30, one is to 40. 2938 03:19:49,040 --> 03:19:56,740 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kaya po, yung aming computation with DBM, yung initial kasi na kinumpute namin noon, 2939 03:19:57,400 --> 03:20:01,280 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: doon tayo ng deficiency ng 12 point something billion deficiency. 2940 03:20:01,780 --> 03:20:06,900 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We base it from a 1 is to 25 student-faculty ratio. 2941 03:20:08,400 --> 03:20:16,600 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pero may kaya yung mga 1 is to 60, 1 is to 70, talagang malaki yung discrepancy niya, Mr. S.P. 2942 03:20:18,980 --> 03:20:21,460 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kailangan na kasi ayusin yung formula. 2943 03:20:22,360 --> 03:20:25,860 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Pero, Julia, sabi naman si Patlas, parameters lang, hindi naman kailangan ng formula. 2944 03:20:27,400 --> 03:20:38,700 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi ang goal ko kasi wala, moving forward, huwag na tayo magkaroon ng deficiency, kundi hindi matatapos kasi itong problema eh. 2945 03:20:39,520 --> 03:20:45,540 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, and the only way we can do it is dapat projections ang gamit. 2946 03:20:49,420 --> 03:20:50,400 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I… 2947 03:20:51,400 --> 03:20:53,060 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Can you see the special provision? 2948 03:20:53,360 --> 03:20:53,720 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes, sir. 2949 03:20:55,820 --> 03:20:57,020 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you. 2950 03:20:57,400 --> 03:21:01,860 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And the question of absorptive capacity, malaking debate yan. 2951 03:21:02,680 --> 03:21:15,040 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, we'll leave the question of absorptive capacity to Ched to ano, kasi malaking debate yan. 2952 03:21:15,180 --> 03:21:17,080 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Like, I'm looking at some of the increases. 2953 03:21:17,080 --> 03:21:27,080 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Like, for example, sa CAR, sa Cordillera, ang increase ng enrollment is 147%. 2954 03:21:27,400 --> 03:21:30,560 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sa Caraga, 109%. 2955 03:21:30,560 --> 03:21:33,840 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Western Visayas, 104%. 2956 03:21:33,840 --> 03:21:36,840 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Of course, masaya tayo na may araming students nag-aaral. 2957 03:21:37,460 --> 03:21:37,620 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba? 2958 03:21:37,760 --> 03:21:41,520 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But we also want to make sure na quality yung tinuturo natin sa kanila. 2959 03:21:42,340 --> 03:21:56,580 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, and when I say quality, malaking discussion yan within Ched whether to allow online classes or hybrid classes. 2960 03:21:57,400 --> 03:21:59,700 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Or pure face-to-face classes. 2961 03:21:59,900 --> 03:22:01,000 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'll leave that to you. 2962 03:22:01,100 --> 03:22:05,460 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi malaking debate yan eh. 2963 03:22:09,200 --> 03:22:17,280 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Para sa akin, what's important for now, at least for this budget hearing, hindi na tayo magkaroon ng deficiency moving forward. 2964 03:22:18,220 --> 03:22:25,340 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Now, how to compute your capacity, your absorptive capacity or carrying capacity? 2965 03:22:27,400 --> 03:22:28,960 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I iiwang ko yan sa Ched. 2966 03:22:29,060 --> 03:22:31,980 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's a policy issue that you have to discuss among yourselves. 2967 03:22:32,360 --> 03:22:34,500 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi malaking debate yan. 2968 03:22:34,760 --> 03:22:41,640 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kung ako tatanungin, in our setting, face-to-face is still the best. 2969 03:22:43,560 --> 03:22:49,100 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But sabi nga ni Dr. Tears, so may mga, baka may mga courses na pwedeng hybrid. 2970 03:22:49,700 --> 03:22:51,100 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I'll leave that to Ched. 2971 03:22:51,520 --> 03:22:53,480 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Because that's a policy issue. 2972 03:22:53,480 --> 03:22:57,380 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, what's important for us is hindi na maulit yung deficiency. 2973 03:22:57,400 --> 03:23:04,700 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I understand dito sa DBM, na ginagamit pa rin nila actual billing. 2974 03:23:06,520 --> 03:23:08,580 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Nandito ba yung ano natin sa DBM? 2975 03:23:10,860 --> 03:23:13,640 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: This is the general provision, this one. 2976 03:23:18,240 --> 03:23:19,500 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Take the seat. 2977 03:23:20,720 --> 03:23:21,760 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Can you take the hot seat? 2978 03:23:22,940 --> 03:23:26,040 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi mali yung ginagawa ninyo eh, DBM. 2979 03:23:27,400 --> 03:23:31,960 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi dito sa formula na gamit nyo is actual 2025 billing. 2980 03:23:32,740 --> 03:23:45,700 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But in the general provision, this is a special provision too. 2981 03:23:46,220 --> 03:23:51,060 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In the special provision, shall be based on projected enrollment. 2982 03:23:52,320 --> 03:23:57,140 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Very clear dito. Bakit ginagamit pa rin ay actual billing? 2983 03:23:57,400 --> 03:24:01,600 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes, go ahead, ma'am. 2984 03:24:01,860 --> 03:24:04,500 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Mr. Chair, Your Honor, if I may. 2985 03:24:05,280 --> 03:24:09,160 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Actually po, it's not only the actual billing po. 2986 03:24:09,480 --> 03:24:15,580 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: In addition po, meron po yung three-year average increase po in the number of enrollees sa computation. 2987 03:24:18,780 --> 03:24:21,620 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Bali, increase in the number of enrollees po. 2988 03:24:22,960 --> 03:24:24,720 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, capture na yun. 2989 03:24:24,960 --> 03:24:25,340 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Opo. 2990 03:24:25,340 --> 03:24:27,340 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Three-year average increase. 2991 03:24:27,400 --> 03:24:27,840 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Increase. 2992 03:24:27,920 --> 03:24:29,080 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But this is in the past. 2993 03:24:30,060 --> 03:24:30,200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Oo. 2994 03:24:30,900 --> 03:24:32,060 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba, in the past. 2995 03:24:32,120 --> 03:24:32,620 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Yes po, average. 2996 03:24:32,820 --> 03:24:37,420 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi pa rin yan yung nasa batas na based on projected enrollment. 2997 03:24:38,840 --> 03:24:41,560 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba, iba naman yung historical, diba? 2998 03:24:42,480 --> 03:24:44,000 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Iba naman yung moving forward. 2999 03:24:44,660 --> 03:24:48,040 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Let's say, may nagpatayo siya ng bagong classroom, bagong building. 3000 03:24:48,880 --> 03:24:50,900 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Siyempre, hindi maka-capture yun ng historical. 3001 03:24:51,460 --> 03:24:53,380 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Of non-admission of projection. 3002 03:24:53,820 --> 03:24:55,020 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: We have no choice but to. 3003 03:24:55,640 --> 03:24:56,500 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Yes po. 3004 03:24:57,400 --> 03:25:05,440 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Actually po, Mr. Chair, in the absence po of the submission po from CHED for the projected po. 3005 03:25:05,440 --> 03:25:10,960 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: So, we have to be constrained po using this formula. 3006 03:25:11,960 --> 03:25:16,660 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Just to put on record, it's a violation of the special provision ha. 3007 03:25:17,380 --> 03:25:19,680 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Itong ginagamit yung formula for this year. 3008 03:25:22,280 --> 03:25:26,540 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Bali po yung formula will be the FY 2025. 3009 03:25:26,540 --> 03:25:34,480 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Actual billing plus 3-year average increase in the number of enrollees times the cost per student. 3010 03:25:35,420 --> 03:25:40,440 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: So, yung increase in the number of enrollees, ito na po yung magiging projected number po. 3011 03:25:41,320 --> 03:25:46,420 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba, but that's not the, hindi nga yun yung essence nitong special provision. 3012 03:25:46,580 --> 03:25:51,900 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang essence nitong special provision, ano yung tingin nilang magiging enrollment nila sa following year? 3013 03:25:53,540 --> 03:25:54,140 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba po. 3014 03:25:54,140 --> 03:25:55,940 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi nga, we want to correct yung. 3015 03:25:55,940 --> 03:25:58,200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang deficiency, ano yung nagiging issue eh. 3016 03:25:59,400 --> 03:25:59,560 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: No? 3017 03:26:00,420 --> 03:26:01,980 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Yeah, we are still having people from. 3018 03:26:01,980 --> 03:26:05,680 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Umalik tayo sa dati, so ibig sabihin magkakautang ulit tayo. 3019 03:26:05,920 --> 03:26:06,360 DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Submission from CHED. 3020 03:26:06,360 --> 03:26:07,220 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi matatapos to. 3021 03:26:07,280 --> 03:26:08,820 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: What we want is to finish this eh. 3022 03:26:10,980 --> 03:26:11,680 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes po. 3023 03:26:13,860 --> 03:26:19,040 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: As impatient as you are now, we have started communicating with DBM now. 3024 03:26:19,180 --> 03:26:23,520 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And we are very thankful that Secretary Kim is open to all our suggestion. 3025 03:26:23,520 --> 03:26:25,700 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: That's why moving forward. 3026 03:26:25,940 --> 03:26:36,660 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We will be creating now, CHED will spearhead the creation of technical working group that will involve the, that will involve EDCOM already. 3027 03:26:36,660 --> 03:26:45,440 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: DBM, EDCOM, and then maybe resource person from PASOP who will provide the data and everything. 3028 03:26:45,440 --> 03:26:48,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Maybe hindi lang po resource person, baka pwedeng member. 3029 03:26:52,660 --> 03:26:53,920 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pinakamaganda dito. 3030 03:26:53,920 --> 03:26:54,420 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Um. 3031 03:26:54,420 --> 03:26:57,240 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang pag-usapan ng PASOP and CHED. 3032 03:26:57,320 --> 03:26:57,840 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: How do you. 3033 03:26:59,020 --> 03:26:59,360 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi. 3034 03:27:00,740 --> 03:27:04,980 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang DBM naman, they look at the numbers eh. 3035 03:27:05,600 --> 03:27:05,800 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: No? 3036 03:27:05,880 --> 03:27:07,300 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And they follow the guidelines. 3037 03:27:08,160 --> 03:27:12,420 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, in the absence of, I think it's absence of a guideline. 3038 03:27:13,120 --> 03:27:15,140 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi nila alam kung anong numbers ang titignan. 3039 03:27:15,580 --> 03:27:18,980 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, by default, tinignan nila yung dating numbers. 3040 03:27:18,980 --> 03:27:19,180 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: No? 3041 03:27:19,500 --> 03:27:24,260 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But, let me just flag DBM. 3042 03:27:24,420 --> 03:27:26,040 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Na projection ang gamit dito. 3043 03:27:26,900 --> 03:27:27,100 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: No? 3044 03:27:27,300 --> 03:27:27,780 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Um. 3045 03:27:27,840 --> 03:27:31,480 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In the special provision number 4 for SUCs. 3046 03:27:35,140 --> 03:27:35,700 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Oo. 3047 03:27:35,820 --> 03:27:43,420 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, dapat kung anong tingin nilang enrollment nila this coming 2027, yun ang susundan. 3048 03:27:44,560 --> 03:27:45,520 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yun ang susundan. 3049 03:27:47,540 --> 03:27:48,500 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Mr. Chair. 3050 03:27:48,720 --> 03:27:48,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Yeah. 3051 03:27:49,320 --> 03:27:53,280 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Though we learned that already this discussion sa Congress, I think two days ago. 3052 03:27:54,080 --> 03:27:54,240 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: The. 3053 03:27:54,420 --> 03:28:03,460 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Shared formula adapted by DBM, as I also shared with your observation, I think it's not logically as correct as we expect. 3054 03:28:03,860 --> 03:28:10,180 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Because if that will be an increase relative to the average of the past three years increases, you are correct. 3055 03:28:10,280 --> 03:28:13,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: It's not really projecting the future enrollment. 3056 03:28:13,800 --> 03:28:14,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There are many formulas. 3057 03:28:14,980 --> 03:28:17,280 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I think let's not make ourselves too difficult about it. 3058 03:28:17,280 --> 03:28:21,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: If that's annual growth rate, exponential decay or growth formula, is population increase. 3059 03:28:22,340 --> 03:28:23,240 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: It's not too. 3060 03:28:23,240 --> 03:28:24,340 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: It's not too difficult. 3061 03:28:24,340 --> 03:28:27,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: It's not too difficult to to use the annual growth rate formula, exponential. 3062 03:28:27,780 --> 03:28:43,460 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, sabi ko nga po, kung lumabis ka ng konti, ang serious na yung galing mo naman sa DBM is actual, hindi ka pwedeng bigyan ng ayon sa projection mong lumabis ng konti, we will be giving them the actual enrollment, at doon kami babayadaan. 3063 03:28:44,100 --> 03:28:46,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So that's that's really bugging us, Mr. Chair. 3064 03:28:46,740 --> 03:28:57,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Katulad po ngayon, sabi ko nga kanina, there are 40 of us, 46 rather, na kinopya lang kung anong budget allocation nung 2026, copy lang ngayon. 3065 03:28:57,400 --> 03:28:58,300 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So tama po kayo. 3066 03:28:58,340 --> 03:29:04,740 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So tama po kayo, it's a technical, more or less non-compliance of what was written in the GAA. 3067 03:29:05,140 --> 03:29:07,640 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: That's what we are always wondering about. 3068 03:29:07,980 --> 03:29:14,800 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Baka po pwede, Mr. Chair, ang proposal namin, pwede pa ngayon, kasi taon-taon naman kami nagsasubmit sa DBM ng projected enrollment namin eh. 3069 03:29:16,540 --> 03:29:19,300 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: At yung aming PRA doon binabasin, ina-approve ni board. 3070 03:29:19,300 --> 03:29:22,500 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: At yun ang aming pinapadala sa DBM, kasi that's also in the law. 3071 03:29:22,500 --> 03:29:29,940 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: That the PRA, as approved by the board, determined by the projected enrollment, will be endorsed by the DBM for funding. 3072 03:29:30,480 --> 03:29:32,920 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So baka pwede itiwala na sa SUC ang pagpuproject? 3073 03:29:33,340 --> 03:29:35,060 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Kasi hindi po kami pare-pare ng situation. 3074 03:29:35,960 --> 03:29:38,540 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: May SUC na may maraming space. 3075 03:29:39,400 --> 03:29:40,680 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Halimbawa, depende rin sa subject. 3076 03:29:41,440 --> 03:29:43,200 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Pwede 1 is to 100 pa nga eh. 3077 03:29:43,260 --> 03:29:48,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Let's say sa mga big classes, kung ang klase mo social science, you have not all subjects. 3078 03:29:48,400 --> 03:29:52,400 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But still, I think we have distinct differences sa bawat SUC. 3079 03:29:52,500 --> 03:29:56,660 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Sa maliit na klase, let's say less than 15, baka conference room pwede. 3080 03:29:56,980 --> 03:29:57,600 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Hindi sa classroom. 3081 03:29:58,160 --> 03:29:59,780 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But when I count the projected enrollment, 3082 03:29:59,780 --> 03:29:59,880 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I don't know. 3083 03:30:00,000 --> 03:30:05,460 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Those are considered, at hindi po yan pwedeng standard ng isang formula. 3084 03:30:05,880 --> 03:30:15,840 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We can have parameters determined to be considered, but to standardize with a formula, I think is also not acceptable because we are situated differently. 3085 03:30:16,360 --> 03:30:17,120 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Thank you, Mr. Chair. 3086 03:30:17,120 --> 03:30:22,040 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Mr. Chair, last two weeks, we have a consultation. 3087 03:30:22,040 --> 03:30:37,900 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We have a 13-pages proposal of the guidelines for the proposed guidelines on determining the enrollment capacity of state universities and colleges and CHED-recognized local universities and colleges. 3088 03:30:38,420 --> 03:30:39,720 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: That was two weeks ago. 3089 03:30:40,360 --> 03:30:46,020 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pero both Alko and Paso did not agree. 3090 03:30:46,760 --> 03:30:48,000 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: You did not agree. 3091 03:30:48,600 --> 03:30:50,000 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A.

Gatchalian: So ang tanong ko, for 2027, 3121 03:32:30,120 --> 03:32:32,720 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: based on your projections sa SUC, 3122 03:32:32,820 --> 03:32:34,560 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: magkano ang magiging deficiency? 3123 03:32:35,180 --> 03:32:36,480 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'm sure may deficiency yan. 3124 03:32:36,720 --> 03:32:38,460 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 100% ako may deficiency yan. 3125 03:32:38,480 --> 03:32:41,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Mr. Chair, we presented a while ago po during our presentation. 3126 03:32:41,680 --> 03:32:43,140 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We have around 2.7 billion. 3127 03:32:43,240 --> 03:32:44,880 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Timot, kakabayad lang natin. 3128 03:32:44,980 --> 03:32:45,760 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Utang na naman. 3129 03:32:45,920 --> 03:32:47,280 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yun ang sinasabi ko eh. 3130 03:32:48,160 --> 03:32:48,280 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kakabayad. 3131 03:32:48,460 --> 03:32:49,400 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kakabayad lang natin. 3132 03:32:49,720 --> 03:32:50,560 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: May utang na naman. 3133 03:32:51,160 --> 03:32:52,960 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's what I'm trying to avoid eh. 3134 03:32:53,060 --> 03:32:55,480 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Mr. Chair, ito pong 2026, meron pa rin po. 3135 03:32:56,120 --> 03:32:57,020 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 2026, around 2 billion. 3136 03:32:57,020 --> 03:32:58,560 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So hindi tayo matatapos eh. 3137 03:32:59,000 --> 03:33:00,180 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi tayo matatapos. 3138 03:33:00,700 --> 03:33:02,340 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's why kami nila, Sen. Joel, 3139 03:33:02,540 --> 03:33:05,400 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: we included yung projection as a basis 3140 03:33:05,400 --> 03:33:08,580 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: so that hindi na tayo naghahabol ng naghahabol. 3141 03:33:09,360 --> 03:33:12,320 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then the SUCs can function properly also. 3142 03:33:12,320 --> 03:33:15,280 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi sa deficiency, hindi sila makakafunction talaga. 3143 03:33:17,500 --> 03:33:18,320 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So ganun. 3144 03:33:18,460 --> 03:33:19,040 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ganito na lang. 3145 03:33:21,040 --> 03:33:23,460 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Magkano ang magiging deficiency for next year? 3146 03:33:23,940 --> 03:33:24,880 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 2.7 po. 3147 03:33:25,300 --> 03:33:26,220 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Next year lang po yun. 3148 03:33:26,440 --> 03:33:27,060 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In this year? 3149 03:33:27,600 --> 03:33:28,760 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Around 2 billion po. 3150 03:33:30,760 --> 03:33:32,500 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: May 2.0 something. 3151 03:33:34,980 --> 03:33:37,820 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So kagad, may utang na ng 4.7? 3152 03:33:38,560 --> 03:33:39,440 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kakabayad lang utang. 3153 03:33:40,380 --> 03:33:44,700 PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Kasi nga po, hindi po sinusunod yung projection as basis for allocation ng budget. 3154 03:33:44,780 --> 03:33:45,560 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ganito na lang. 3155 03:33:46,980 --> 03:33:48,220 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Chairperson, a groupies. 3156 03:33:48,220 --> 03:33:52,600 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Why don't you sit with DBM and already settle this? 3157 03:33:52,940 --> 03:33:54,020 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I know what you're saying eh. 3158 03:33:54,080 --> 03:33:57,960 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi naman pwedeng, ah bukas, we will grow by 10%. 3159 03:33:57,960 --> 03:34:00,240 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Dagdag kami ng student ng 10%. 3160 03:34:00,240 --> 03:34:03,200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sisingilin namin si DBM ng additional 10%. 3161 03:34:03,200 --> 03:34:04,380 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi naman pwede rin ganun. 3162 03:34:05,120 --> 03:34:10,140 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi naman pwede, ah bukas, 20% kami dahil gusto namin ng online learning. 3163 03:34:10,140 --> 03:34:14,000 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kahit walang classroom, kukuha kami ng 20,000 students. 3164 03:34:14,420 --> 03:34:15,380 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi naman pwedeng ganun. 3165 03:34:16,320 --> 03:34:18,140 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So hindi pwedeng arbitrary. 3166 03:34:18,220 --> 03:34:19,200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I know what you're saying eh. 3167 03:34:19,360 --> 03:34:21,360 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But we will leave that to CHED. 3168 03:34:21,480 --> 03:34:29,400 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That policy, how to compute your carrying capacity, what courses can be done hybrid or online, 3169 03:34:29,400 --> 03:34:30,980 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: we will leave that to CHED. 3170 03:34:31,420 --> 03:34:35,140 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But what we're concerned, kasi budget to, is hindi na magkaroon ng utang. 3171 03:34:35,580 --> 03:34:37,360 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yun ang concern namin eh. 3172 03:34:37,940 --> 03:34:39,540 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi or else it will never end. 3173 03:34:40,240 --> 03:34:47,200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I just want to emphasize na in the case of the Senate, inayos na ho namin to. 3174 03:34:48,220 --> 03:34:51,060 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Lagay ho tayo ng 4 billion, may special provision. 3175 03:34:51,720 --> 03:35:01,020 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang bola ho, nasa CHED na and DBM, how to operationalize this projection special provision. 3176 03:35:01,680 --> 03:35:02,700 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And PASUC, of course. 3177 03:35:02,860 --> 03:35:05,640 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kayong tatlo na mag-usap-usap how to operationalize this. 3178 03:35:05,640 --> 03:35:14,120 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But as far as we are concerned, we've allocated 4 billion, we put the special provision, yun ang aming deliverables. 3179 03:35:15,480 --> 03:35:16,800 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Thank you very much, sir. 3180 03:35:16,980 --> 03:35:18,060 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: I just would like to... 3181 03:35:18,220 --> 03:35:26,480 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: To mention here, para po masafeguarda na yung SEDF, na hindi na target na source, na pagbayad ng deficiency. 3182 03:35:27,440 --> 03:35:39,240 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Last year, 12.3 billion ang nabuo to pay the deficiency of rehire education from 2022 to 2025. 3183 03:35:40,540 --> 03:35:40,900 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Opo. 3184 03:35:40,900 --> 03:35:47,900 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: After computation and alignment of data, DBM released 9.2. 3185 03:35:48,220 --> 03:35:56,640 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So 12 billion minus 9.7, meron pa, meron 2.4 something billion. 3186 03:35:57,580 --> 03:36:04,340 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: This weekend, we can allow kasi na alis na sa aming budget allocation. 3187 03:36:05,040 --> 03:36:06,760 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Sana po hindi na sobrahan. 3188 03:36:08,100 --> 03:36:09,860 Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you, Madam Chair. 3189 03:36:10,780 --> 03:36:15,560 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So just to reiterate, the time is of the essence. 3190 03:36:15,560 --> 03:36:18,200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So you have to meet with DBM. 3191 03:36:18,220 --> 03:36:18,820 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes, po. 3192 03:36:18,860 --> 03:36:21,460 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: On the projection, what is the formula of the projection? 3193 03:36:22,720 --> 03:36:23,240 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes, po. 3194 03:36:23,380 --> 03:36:25,840 CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: With the EDCOM. 3195 03:36:26,780 --> 03:36:29,620 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So how do you determine that projection? 3196 03:36:30,640 --> 03:36:34,640 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi alam ko yung sinasabi nyo, you cannot just have an arbitrary projection. 3197 03:36:35,500 --> 03:36:35,680 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba? 3198 03:36:35,920 --> 03:36:43,640 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then, it can also create this perverse incentive na taasan natin yung ating enrollment. 3199 03:36:43,900 --> 03:36:47,620 Senator Sherwin "Win" T.
