asr-000078
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:37.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: Well, ang pangako natin kasi sa bawat kabataang Pilipino ay simple lang. May pagkakataon po sila na makapag-aral sa kolehyo at makapaghanda para sa magandang trabaho,

00:30:37.620 --> 00:30:45.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: anuman ang estado nila sa buhay, at magkaroon sila ng chance ng magdagumpay at magkaroon ng mas magandang kinabukasan.

asr-000080
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:51.440
Senator Joel Villanueva: Today, we examine whether the 2027 budget can deliver on that promise.

asr-000081
00:30:52.140 --> 00:30:54.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: And I was looking at the 2027 budget.

asr-000082
00:30:54.960 --> 00:31:10.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: The 2027 budget, CHED has proposed a budget of 35.453 billion, down by 12.916 billion or 26.7% from its 2026 level.

asr-000083
00:31:10.360 --> 00:31:24.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: The proposed obligation budget for our state universities and colleges is 141.090 billion, again lower by 2.979 billion or 2.1%.

asr-000084
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:28.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: than the current budget.

asr-000085
00:31:28.360 --> 00:31:34.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: Parang hindi kagad maganda yung panimulang sinasabi ko sa nakikita kong mga numero.

asr-000086
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:44.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ngunit nais po nating tiyakin na, bagamat ganito ang budget sa susunod na taon ay tunay nga pong magpapataas ng kalidad ng edukasyon at magpapalawak.

asr-000087
00:31:46.120 --> 00:31:48.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ang access ito sa ating mga kabataan.

asr-000088
00:31:48.600 --> 00:31:54.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: The allocation for universal access to quality tertiary education again falls down from 37.547 billion

asr-000089
00:31:54.960 --> 00:32:04.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: to 27.790 billion, or a reduction of 9.757 billion.

asr-000090
00:32:05.060 --> 00:32:06.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: Talagang importante ang edukasyon.

asr-000091
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:15.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: We must also prepare for the implementation, of course, of RA 12325,

asr-000092
00:32:15.780 --> 00:32:19.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: Enhancing the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act,

asr-000093
00:32:19.380 --> 00:32:25.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: which we, again, authored, sponsored, co-sponsored.

asr-000094
00:32:26.820 --> 00:32:36.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: Only 12.6% of tertiary education subsidy grantees in the first semester of academic year 2025-2026

asr-000095
00:32:36.140 --> 00:32:38.500
Senator Joel Villanueva: came from four-piece households.

asr-000096
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:45.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: The reform is intended to better direct tertiary education assistance toward disadvantaged learners.

asr-000097
00:32:45.980 --> 00:32:49.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: There are positive movements naman.

asr-000098
00:32:49.140 --> 00:32:52.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: We look at the Student Financial Assistance Programs.

asr-000099
00:32:52.140 --> 00:33:02.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: It increased from 2.154 billion to 3.185 billion, or almost 48%,

asr-000100
00:33:02.140 --> 00:33:11.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: with beneficiaries increasing from 42,128 to 49,243.

asr-000101
00:33:11.140 --> 00:33:14.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: Now, the Medical Scholarship and Return Service Program,

asr-000102
00:33:14.140 --> 00:33:17.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: which is also very close to this representation's heart,

asr-000103
00:33:17.140 --> 00:33:18.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: increases to

asr-000104
00:33:18.580 --> 00:33:21.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: 1.232 billion.

asr-000109
00:33:22.900 --> 00:33:25.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: But I was looking at the beneficiaries,

asr-000110
00:33:25.600 --> 00:33:28.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: parang yung target ay mas mababa,

asr-000111
00:33:28.100 --> 00:33:29.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: but we'll go to that later on.

asr-000117
00:33:30.020 --> 00:33:51.800
Senator Joel Villanueva: We also cannot discuss the UP budget without discussing the Philippine General Hospital, and that's why Dr. Gap is here. Its hospital services program is proposed at 7.291 billion, lower by 805.457 million or 9.9%.

asr-000118
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.

asr-000119
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.

asr-000120
00:34:20.300 --> 00:34:21.300
Senator Joel Villanueva: And I think...

asr-000121
00:34:21.820 --> 00:34:25.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: He deserves a round of applause for all of us.

asr-000122
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.

asr-000123
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.

asr-000124
00:34:45.860 --> 00:34:51.680
Senator Joel Villanueva: Hindi naman po pwedeng lumawak ang serbisyong pang edukasyon habang nahiiwan po.

asr-000125
00:34:51.820 --> 00:34:53.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ang mga manggagawang naghahatid nito.

asr-000126
00:34:54.020 --> 00:34:59.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: Magtatapos ako kasi gusto kong masimulan na natin ang ating pagdinig.

asr-000127
00:35:00.200 --> 00:35:03.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Simple lang po ang ating sukatan sa dulo ng lahat ng ito.

asr-000128
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:09.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kung libre po ang kolehyo sa estudyante, dapat hindi po kapos ang paaralan.

asr-000129
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:16.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kung may scholarship or subsidy, dapat naman makarating ito sa higit na nangangailangan.

asr-000130
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.

asr-000131
00:35:21.820 --> 00:35:23.940
Senator Joel Villanueva: At makapagtapos ng kanyang pag-aaral.

asr-000132
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.

asr-000133
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.

asr-000134
00:35:38.560 --> 00:35:40.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: Marami pong salamat muli sa inyong pagdalo.

asr-000135
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.

asr-000136
00:35:50.100 --> 00:35:51.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: Do our...

asr-000137
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.

asr-000138
00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:00.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: Let me give the floor to our chairperson, Chairman J.V. Arcito.

asr-000139
00:36:01.040 --> 00:36:11.760
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Magandang hapon po sa lahat to the CHED and the SUCs from different parts of the country.

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat.

asr-000141
00:36:14.020 --> 00:36:17.320
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Anyway, first of all, I'd like to thank all of you for coming over.

asr-000142
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:20.320
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: It's been a very hectic week.

asr-000143
00:36:21.160 --> 00:36:21.800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Hectic day.

asr-000144
00:36:21.820 --> 00:36:24.760
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: For us in the Senate, ongoing on-commissioned appointments.

asr-000145
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.

asr-000146
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.

asr-000147
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...

asr-000148
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.

asr-000149
00:36:45.700 --> 00:36:46.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yes.

asr-000150
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:50.700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Because we know for a fact that we are both...

asr-000151
00:36:51.820 --> 00:36:57.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Advocates and we have been very supportive of our higher education, especially the SUCs.

asr-000152
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.

asr-000153
00:37:01.680 --> 00:37:03.520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Magandang hapon po sa ating mga kasamahan.

asr-000154
00:37:04.520 --> 00:37:11.120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siyempre sa ating pong chairman, sa Central Joel Villanueva, sa mga kinatawa na Commission Higher Education.

asr-000155
00:37:12.200 --> 00:37:18.120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siyempre sa kay, of course, kay Ma'am Shirley Agrupis, sa kanya pong mga kasamahan, commissioners.

asr-000156
00:37:19.540 --> 00:37:21.800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At sa ating pong State Universities Colleges.

asr-000157
00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:23.000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At sa lahat ng narinito.

asr-000158
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.

asr-000159
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.

asr-000160
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.

asr-000161
00:37:48.820 --> 00:37:51.800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Para sa maraming pamilyang Pilipinas,

asr-000162
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.

asr-000163
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.

asr-000164
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.

asr-000165
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.

asr-000166
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.

asr-000167
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.

asr-000168
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.

asr-000169
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.

asr-000170
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.

asr-000171
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.

asr-000172
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.

asr-000173
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.

asr-000174
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.

asr-000175
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.

asr-000176
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.

asr-000177
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.

asr-000178
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.

asr-000179
00:40:50.620 --> 00:40:51.800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kaya lang po, Mr. Chair.

asr-000180
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.

asr-000181
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.

asr-000182
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.

asr-000183
00:41:16.140 --> 00:41:20.320
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Na talagang yung elbow room natin, napakaliit.

asr-000184
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.

asr-000185
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.

asr-000186
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.

asr-000187
00:41:46.740 --> 00:41:49.440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ang problema lang, sinasabi ko na po sa inyo.

asr-000188
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.

asr-000189
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.

asr-000190
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.

asr-000191
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%.

asr-000192
00:42:15.060 --> 00:42:16.920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, kinakailangan din natin humabol.

asr-000193
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:18.660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, hopefully, makabawi ngayon.

asr-000194
00:42:18.660 --> 00:42:20.880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, but we will see.

asr-000195
00:42:21.300 --> 00:42:22.340
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We will do our part.

asr-000197
00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:34.560
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At siyempre, ang ating pong Commission on Higher Education.

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.

asr-000199
00:42:41.500 --> 00:42:43.200
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kaya lang, talagang hirap ngayon.

asr-000200
00:42:43.640 --> 00:42:46.900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pabigat, masikip, pero gagawan po natin ang paraan.

asr-000201
00:42:47.460 --> 00:42:48.460
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: With that, I know.

Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman.

asr-000206
00:42:56.560 --> 00:43:02.260
Senator Joel Villanueva: And before you leave, let me again state for the record, their proposal, Mr. Chairman, sa CHED,

asr-000207
00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:07.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang proposal is 68 billion, ang in-approve is 35 billion.

asr-000208
00:43:08.220 --> 00:43:17.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung last year na GAA, Mr. Chairman, 48 billion, ngayon 35 billion.

asr-000209
00:43:17.900 --> 00:43:18.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: So that's a

asr-000210
00:43:18.660 --> 00:43:24.280
Senator Joel Villanueva: 26.7% decrease, about 12.9 billion decrease.

asr-000211
00:43:24.700 --> 00:43:27.500
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, gusto ko lang hong iparating sa inyo, Mr. Chairman.

asr-000217
00:43:48.660 --> 00:43:53.100
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Mr. Aquino, with your indulgence, bago ko balesal, received the PPWH budget.

00:44:48.660 --> 00:44:54.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: But let me also point out, yung PGH, bawas din ang 10%. 10% din binawas.

asr-000229
00:44:54.120 --> 00:44:58.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: Anyway, let's give the floor to our distinguished colleague, Senator Bam, please.

00:44:58.860 --> 00:44:59.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Maraming salamat.

asr-000234
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:21.720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kung kaya niya po mag-teleport, nag-teleport na po siya sa dami ng mga hearings na ginagawa.

asr-000235
00:45:22.180 --> 00:45:28.320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And of course, I'd like to acknowledge Senator Joel Villanueva who has been leading this committee for many years.

asr-000236
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:35.660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And again and again, lalabas at babalik. Pero nandito ho kami dahil mahalaga po sa amin ang higher education.

asr-000237
00:45:36.700 --> 00:45:42.660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So magandang araw po muli. As we review the budget, we should all ask a very simple question.

asr-000238
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:50.640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kapag nakapasok ang isang studyante sa kolehyo, may sapat na ba siyang suporta para makapagtapos?

asr-000239
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:55.680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yun ho siguro ang isang tanong na kailangan ho nating harapin.

asr-000240
00:45:55.940 --> 00:45:58.280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sapat na ba ang nakukuha niyang suporta?

asr-000241
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:00.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sapat na ba ang nakukuha niyang suporta para makapagtapos?

asr-000242
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:03.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ibang issue pa po kung meron ba siyang trabaho pagka-graduate niya.

asr-000243
00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:05.280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Dito muna tayo sa unang tanong.

asr-000244
00:46:06.820 --> 00:46:10.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Meron ba siyang sapat na suporta para makapagtapos?

asr-000245
00:46:10.940 --> 00:46:14.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Meron bang siguradong trabaho pagkatapos niya?

asr-000246
00:46:15.200 --> 00:46:18.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Alam po natin na napakalaking tulong ng libreng tuition.

asr-000247
00:46:19.320 --> 00:46:22.080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kaya po natin ito pinaglaban noong una nating termino.

asr-000248
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.

asr-000249
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:33.840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: May pamasahe, pagkain, kagamitan at iba pang mga pangailangan sa pag-aaral.

asr-000250
00:46:34.580 --> 00:46:36.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Para sa ating nursing at allied health students,

asr-000251
00:46:37.100 --> 00:46:42.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: meron pang dagdag na related learning experience na alam po natin napakabigat.

asr-000252
00:46:42.120 --> 00:46:48.860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: At mamaya po tatanungin ko rin kay Chair Shirley kung kailan po lalabas yung ating RLE support.

asr-000253
00:46:49.160 --> 00:46:51.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na dapat po August 25 ba pong dapat lumabas.

asr-000254
00:46:52.700 --> 00:46:54.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ito pong mga RLE ay mandatory.

asr-000255
00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:57.740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi po kayo pwedeng gumraduate sa nursing at allied health

asr-000256
00:46:57.740 --> 00:46:58.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: kung hindi po kayo dumaan dito.

asr-000257
00:46:59.320 --> 00:47:03.320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: At kadalasan, tumataas rin po ang bayad ng RLE.

asr-000258
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.

asr-000259
00:47:08.340 --> 00:47:11.460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi po dapat maging dahilan ang kakulangan sa pambayad

asr-000260
00:47:11.460 --> 00:47:14.040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: para hindi po makompleto ang kurso.

asr-000261
00:47:14.860 --> 00:47:16.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Noong nakaraang budget deliberation,

asr-000262
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.

asr-000263
00:47:22.720 --> 00:47:25.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ngayon pong pinag-uusapan ang 2027 budget,

asr-000264
00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:27.720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: sisiguraduhin po natin na sapat pa rin

asr-000265
00:47:27.740 --> 00:47:30.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ang pondo para sa libreng kolehiyo.

asr-000266
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,

asr-000267
00:47:34.460 --> 00:47:38.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: hindi maaaring lumiit ang supportang direktang napupunta sa kanila.

asr-000268
00:47:39.140 --> 00:47:41.880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi dapat pabawasan ang pagkakatoon ng isang estudyante

asr-000269
00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:45.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ang makapasok at makapagtapos dahil lang kinapos ang budget.

asr-000270
00:47:46.760 --> 00:47:50.740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Mr. Chairman, our previous chairperson, Senator Legarda,

asr-000271
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.

asr-000276
00:47:56.980 --> 00:48:02.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, naiso nating malaman, itong mga bagong patakaran ba'y nai-implement na?

asr-000277
00:48:03.500 --> 00:48:06.640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ito ba'y nakakatulong sa pagpili ng mga estudyante

asr-000278
00:48:06.640 --> 00:48:09.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: dapat makakuha ng narapat na tulong?

asr-000279
00:48:10.060 --> 00:48:12.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasama po sa mga amendments ang pagpasok ng RLE.

asr-000280
00:48:13.040 --> 00:48:16.400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi na po siya isang budget insertion or budget amendment.

asr-000281
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.

asr-000282
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

asr-000283
00:48:26.100 --> 00:48:27.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: mula sa gobyerno.

asr-000284
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,

asr-000285
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:36.720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we agonized over the proper distribution of scholarships.

asr-000286
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,

asr-000287
00:48:42.640 --> 00:48:44.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: magkakasama po tayo nung pahirmahan po yan,

asr-000288
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:50.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ito ba'y nilinaw na kung sinong estudyante ang dapat makakuha ng supporta,

asr-000289
00:48:50.720 --> 00:48:55.040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: saan lugar, anong klaseng institusyon, at paano ito aabot sa kanila.

asr-000290
00:48:55.040 --> 00:48:56.060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, nandito.

asr-000291
00:48:56.100 --> 00:49:05.140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nandito po tayo upang linawin ang bagong batas na RA 12325 while at the same time making sure

00:49:05.140 --> 00:49:12.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: that our previous laws, the free college law, the UNIFAST law are all properly implemented.

asr-000293
00:49:12.940 --> 00:49:19.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ang pinakahangarin po namin pagkatapos po ng budget hearing na ito ay malaman kung nasaan tayo

asr-000294
00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:25.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: pagdating sa mga scholarships, pagdating sa mga subsidya, pagdating sa mga tulong sa mga estudyante,

asr-000295
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

asr-000296
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.

asr-000297
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,

asr-000298
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 SUC, kahit po sa mga LUC at mga pribadong institusyon,

asr-000299
00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:52.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we're here to support and to make sure ng bawat bata na makapasok, makapagtatapos,

asr-000300
00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:55.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: at makakakuha ng tama at siguradong trabaho.

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So yun lang po, Mr. Chairman, nagpapasalamat ako.

asr-000302
00:49:58.520 --> 00:50:07.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I know that you take the CHED budget very seriously, and we hope, dear colleagues, dear friends, we will be able to augment.

Senator Joel Villanueva: Kaya very insightful to hear his voice, especially.

asr-000310
00:50:55.160 --> 00:51:10.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: In today's budget briefing, and yung sinabi ni Sen Bam, totoo yun, napakaraming supporters dito ng CHED, ng SUCs, maging ng UP, kahit tinalo yung UST, okay pa rin, support pa rin tayo.

asr-000311
00:51:11.500 --> 00:51:19.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: We will, before we entertain questions, we will give the floor now for presentations of respective agencies.

Senator Joel Villanueva: We go first with Chairperson Agrupis to present the highlights of the

asr-000313
00:51:25.160 --> 00:51:39.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: proposed 2027 budget of CHED, then followed by PASUC President Tirso Ronquillo, and then President DG Jimenez will present the proposed budget of the UP system.

asr-000314
00:51:40.300 --> 00:51:48.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ma'am Shirley, you have the floor, and I hope we're not going to take long para makahabol kami sa budget ng DPWH.

asr-000315
00:51:49.060 --> 00:51:49.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sige po.

Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you, Ma'am Shirley, you have the floor, Ma'am.

asr-000317

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Thank you very much, Sir.

asr-000318
00:51:55.160 --> 00:51:56.800
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: I hope hindi kasama ang greetings.

asr-000319
00:51:57.100 --> 00:52:02.940
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Magandang hapon po sa ating mahal na chairperson ng Committee on Finance and the subcommittee.

asr-000320
00:52:03.200 --> 00:52:11.220
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: I, and of course, our champion, in many ways, Senator Bam Aquino, chairperson ng Basic Education.

asr-000321
00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:17.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: At sa ating mahal na chairperson ng Committee on Finance na wala na dito, I hope may nakakarinig.

asr-000322
00:52:17.580 --> 00:52:18.680
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Marami pong salamat.

asr-000323
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

asr-000324
00:52:25.140 --> 00:52:27.140
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ejercito kanina sa PUP.

asr-000325
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.

asr-000326
00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:42.380
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Dito po kami nang gagaling.

asr-000327
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.

asr-000328
00:52:51.700 --> 00:52:55.060
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: This is our basis when we crafted.

asr-000329
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%.

asr-000330
00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:15.380
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: If we can move to the next slide, please.

asr-000331
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.

asr-000332
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.

asr-000333
00:53:39.660 --> 00:53:42.160
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Moving forward, I have to run fast.

asr-000334
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.

asr-000336
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.

asr-000337
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.

asr-000338
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.

asr-000339
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

asr-000340
00:54:32.340 --> 00:54:40.180
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: we only get 35.4 billion pesos if you go to the next slide just to show you the salient feature

asr-000341
00:54:40.180 --> 00:54:52.260
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: of our 2027 CHED NEP. Saan po na-allot ang 35.4 billion na ibinigay? MOOE is 34.7 billion, which

asr-000342
00:54:52.260 --> 00:55:00.900
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: represents 98%. Personnel services is 609 million. Capital outlay is 100 million.

asr-000343
00:55:00.900 --> 00:55:08.420
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: po yung capital outlay kasi nakakapag-deliver po naman kami pero sa mooe if you pay attention

asr-000344
00:55:08.420 --> 00:55:10.160
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: to that, the 34.7

asr-000345
00:55:10.180 --> 00:55:19.300
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: billion, 98% goes to scholarship. Inuulit ko po ang aking rant: ang CHED

asr-000346
00:55:19.300 --> 00:55:29.620
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: is not a scholarship agency but it is a regulatory and uh regulatory and developmental agency for

asr-000347
00:55:29.620 --> 00:55:38.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: higher education if we move forward uh what is missing from the 2027 ched nep next slide please

asr-000348
00:55:38.740 --> 00:55:40.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: uh this is the

asr-000349
00:55:40.180 --> 00:55:44.900
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: miss uh gap we proposed for 70.2 billion they

asr-000350
00:55:44.900 --> 00:55:54.500
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: gave 35.4 billion the gap is 34.8 billion saan po dapat nakalaan ang 34.8 billion if we

asr-000351
00:55:54.500 --> 00:56:02.820
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: move to the next slide in summary yung priority one na min i i i describe it as critical non-deferable

asr-000352
00:56:02.820 --> 00:56:09.940
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: pops as a 34.2 and then the priority which is the strategic higher education investment is

asr-000353
00:56:09.940 --> 00:56:25.980
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ang kulang is 1.2, kaya dyan po napupunta. Ang kulang is 34.8 billion. Next slide. So ito po makikita natin dito ngayon ang ating diferensya kung saan ang makakaltasan po.

asr-000354
00:56:25.980 --> 00:56:47.460
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Sa priority 1, which include the scholarship from undergraduate, that is the UUACTE, and scholarship for advanced training of faculty, ang hiningi namin sa proposed namin is 66 billion. 34 ang binigay. Ang kulang namin is 31 billion pesos.

asr-000355
00:56:47.460 --> 00:56:54.760
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Sa strategic priority 2, we ask for 4 billion. Ang binigay po is 1.2.

asr-000356
00:56:54.760 --> 00:57:09.720
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ang kailangan pa namin is 2.8 billion. Ang subtotal po ng naales ay 34.8 billion. After consulting with the state university and colleges, matagal na pong naghihirap ang SUC.

asr-000357
00:57:09.720 --> 00:57:24.620
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Since the enactment of this RA 10931, marami pong SUC ang nagkocollectan ng tuition fee from 12 pesos to 50 to 100 to 150 pesos. Ang dami pong challenges ngayon.

asr-000358
00:57:24.760 --> 00:57:42.840
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Tapos hanapan sila ng quality education paano? That's a big question. Kaya nilalagay namin ngayon yung ating dream proposed leveling up of tuition fee which is 7.5 billion. But I will discuss for now yung para sa CHED po.

asr-000359
00:57:42.840 --> 00:57:53.840
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So considering the fiscal space of the budget in the government, kami po ay inadvisean ng Congress to have a realignment of budget.

asr-000360
00:57:54.760 --> 00:58:08.520
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: With the DSWD and the DBM and CHED. Kasi po ang 34 billion, ang 31 billion sa priority 1 ay 98% ay para sa yuwakte.

asr-000361
00:58:08.520 --> 00:58:24.540
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For you to appreciate, kung hindi ibibigay yung 17 billion after the recalibration, ang madidisplaced na estudyante is 940,000 students. Clear po yun.

asr-000362
00:58:24.760 --> 00:58:25.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sir, could you repeat that?

asr-000363
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:50.440
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yung sa nung NEP namin po, we requested for a 66 billion to cover yuwakte and scholarship grant ng ating faculty. Pero ibinigay is 34.2 billion. Ang difference is 31.9 billion. Ang yuwakte, ang pupunta doon is 29.2 billion.

asr-000364
00:58:50.440 --> 00:58:54.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So considering the fiscal space, ang advice po.

asr-000365
00:58:54.760 --> 00:59:08.220
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So ng Congress is to make an alignment between DSWD which is the source of our data for the projection of our free higher education and tertiary education subsidy.

asr-000366
00:59:08.720 --> 00:59:19.220
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So we sat down with DSWD, DBM and CHED. We compared notes. So naisacrifice yung aming projection based on data.

asr-000367
00:59:19.220 --> 00:59:24.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So in 2026 proposal based on the data of EDCOM 2.0.

asr-000368
00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:29.800
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: na 30% lang ang pumapasok na 4Ps,

asr-000369
00:59:30.500 --> 00:59:35.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: tinaasan namin ang proposal namin to 50% of the DSWD data

asr-000370
00:59:35.700 --> 00:59:38.160
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: na ibinigay naman po ng gobyerno.

asr-000371
00:59:38.720 --> 00:59:42.900
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So dahil sa aming tursigidong pag-advocacy campaign,

asr-000372
00:59:43.460 --> 00:59:47.220
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: nagkaravan po kami lahat-lahat, so dumami yung enrollment.

asr-000373
00:59:47.220 --> 00:59:54.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So for 2027, from 50%, tinaasan namin ng projection na 65%.

asr-000374
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:56.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kaya po, tumaas.

asr-000375
00:59:56.500 --> 00:59:58.800
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: But considering the fiscal space now,

asr-000376
00:59:59.240 --> 01:00:00.000
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: nagsang-ayon,

asr-000377
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:01.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: po kami na bawasan.

asr-000378
01:00:02.160 --> 01:00:03.720
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, wala na kami pong

asr-000379
01:00:03.720 --> 01:00:05.640
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: itatawad pa, hindi na po kami

asr-000380
01:00:05.640 --> 01:00:07.520
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: nagpapatawad. 17

asr-000381
01:00:07.520 --> 01:00:09.780
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: billion ang kailangan namin

asr-000382
01:00:09.780 --> 01:00:11.760
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: to support the uwakte

asr-000383
01:00:11.760 --> 01:00:14.020
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: of 940,000

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: students na incoming.

asr-000385
01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:19.500

01:00:24.520 --> 01:00:26.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: Meaning, hindi sila makakapag-enroll?

asr-000389
01:00:26.660 --> 01:00:28.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: Is that what you're saying, ma'am?

asr-000921

01:19:59.600 --> 01:20:00.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes po.

asr-000927
01:20:05.600 --> 01:20:06.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes po.

asr-000928
01:20:06.600 --> 01:20:07.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pero may utang na naman.

asr-000929
01:20:07.600 --> 01:20:09.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kasi may bago.

asr-000930
01:20:09.600 --> 01:20:10.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: May bago.

asr-000931
01:20:10.600 --> 01:20:16.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But that was paid as of what year yung na-clear ng DBM?

01:20:16.600 --> 01:20:21.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025.

01:20:23.600 --> 01:20:24.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay. Thank God.

asr-000936
01:20:24.600 --> 01:20:29.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Dr. Ronquillo, na-deliver na po yan?

asr-000937
01:20:29.600 --> 01:20:30.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na-download na sa mga SUC?

asr-000938
01:20:30.600 --> 01:20:31.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Tama po ba?

asr-000939
01:20:31.600 --> 01:20:32.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Correct?

asr-000940
01:20:32.600 --> 01:20:33.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Not yet.

asr-000941
01:20:33.600 --> 01:20:34.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Partially po.

asr-000942
01:20:34.600 --> 01:20:35.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: On the record, please.

asr-000943
01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:36.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: On the record.

asr-000944
01:20:36.600 --> 01:20:37.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Partially po.

asr-000945
01:20:37.600 --> 01:20:40.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But majority of them received their checks.

asr-000946
01:20:40.600 --> 01:20:42.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And I think some others are being processed.

asr-000947
01:20:42.600 --> 01:20:43.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-000948
01:20:43.600 --> 01:20:44.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Pinoproseso na.

asr-000949
01:20:44.600 --> 01:20:45.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Pero yung pera ay nasa?

asr-000950
01:20:45.600 --> 01:20:46.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sa amin na po.

asr-000951
01:20:46.600 --> 01:20:47.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nasa inyo na.

asr-000952
01:20:47.600 --> 01:20:48.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-000953
01:20:48.600 --> 01:20:53.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, at least for the SEC this year, if you remember last year, ito yung isang pinangako namin, no?

asr-000954
01:20:53.600 --> 01:20:56.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na mababayaran kayo at at least nabayaran na kayo.

asr-000955
01:20:56.600 --> 01:20:57.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-000956
01:20:57.600 --> 01:20:58.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, may konti tayong cash.

asr-000957
01:20:58.600 --> 01:20:59.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-000958
01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:00.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, thank you.

asr-000959
01:21:00.600 --> 01:21:01.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Thank you for that.

asr-000960
01:21:01.600 --> 01:21:02.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-000961
01:21:02.600 --> 01:21:03.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Pangalawa.

asr-000962
01:21:03.600 --> 01:21:06.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Last year, and you mentioned this, I think the term here is leveling up the tuition fee.

asr-000963
01:21:06.600 --> 01:21:13.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Pero pinag-uusapan natin, magkano ba talaga yung tuition fee na dapat binababa natin sa mga SUC?

asr-000964
01:21:13.600 --> 01:21:20.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And we all know this started with when 10931 was enacted, iba-iba yung tuition fee natin, no?

asr-000965
01:21:20.600 --> 01:21:21.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: May napakamura at may mas mababa.

asr-000966
01:21:21.600 --> 01:21:22.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-000967
01:21:22.600 --> 01:21:24.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: At may mas mahal ng konti.

asr-000968
01:21:24.600 --> 01:21:27.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But the differences were 30 times, 40 times each other.

asr-000969
01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:32.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: At habang yun yung na-carry, hindi naman tinaas after that, diba?

asr-000970
01:21:32.600 --> 01:21:34.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, we want to rationalize, no?

asr-000971
01:21:34.600 --> 01:21:38.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, ang ginamit na term ni Chairperson Shirley ay leveling up.

asr-000972
01:21:38.600 --> 01:21:40.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But kami ang gamit namin, rationalization, diba?

asr-000973
01:21:40.600 --> 01:21:51.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, are we closer to the rationalization na mas magkakalapit na yung tuition fee na china-charge ng mga SUC?

asr-000974
01:21:51.600 --> 01:21:57.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nang mga SUC at LUC sa 10931 or sa UAQTEA?

asr-000975
01:21:57.600 --> 01:21:59.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Chairman Shirley?

asr-000976
01:21:59.600 --> 01:22:02.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes, thank you very much, Senator Bam.

asr-000977
01:22:02.600 --> 01:22:05.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yung leveling up was my term.

asr-000978
01:22:05.600 --> 01:22:17.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: But as of last month, the SGB, which is the CHED Commission, before I came, ay natapos na po yung study ng composite fee.

asr-000979
01:22:17.600 --> 01:22:19.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Meron na po silang report.

asr-000980
01:22:19.600 --> 01:22:38.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: But it is too expensive po na ang kailangan is in 76.

asr-000981
01:22:38.600 --> 01:22:45.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: In a forest fund, they need 176 billion pesos.

asr-000982
01:22:45.600 --> 01:22:48.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pero sa 2027,

asr-000983
01:22:49.600 --> 01:22:51.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Sorry.

asr-000984
01:22:51.600 --> 01:22:52.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: 76 billion.

asr-000985
01:22:52.600 --> 01:22:54.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Chair, can we do it per head?

asr-000986
01:22:54.600 --> 01:22:56.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Per head tayo para mas maintindihan namin, no?

asr-000987
01:22:56.600 --> 01:22:59.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi pag siluman na natin, ang laki-laki ng kaperahan.

asr-000988
01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:00.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Sige po.

asr-000989
01:23:00.600 --> 01:23:01.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: On a per head level.

asr-000990
01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:07.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yeah, and because, you know, ang hirap po intindihin na, for example, if I'm not mistaken, PUP is 12 pesos per unit.

asr-000991
01:23:07.600 --> 01:23:08.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: If I'm not mistaken.

asr-000992
01:23:08.600 --> 01:23:09.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: If I'm not mistaken.

asr-000993
01:23:09.600 --> 01:23:11.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And then others, 500 pesos per unit.

asr-000994
01:23:11.600 --> 01:23:18.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Eh, paano nating i-expectin na parehong pagtuturo at pareho yung matututunan ng isang estudyante?

asr-000995
01:23:18.600 --> 01:23:19.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yeah.

asr-000996
01:23:19.600 --> 01:23:20.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yes, ma'am, please.

asr-000997
01:23:20.600 --> 01:23:21.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kaya po.

asr-000998
01:23:21.600 --> 01:23:22.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes, sir.

asr-000999
01:23:22.600 --> 01:23:24.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We already computed several option.

asr-001000
01:23:24.600 --> 01:23:27.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Mahirap po talagang intindihin yung SGV.

asr-001001
01:23:27.600 --> 01:23:29.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And we are very...

asr-001002
01:23:29.600 --> 01:23:31.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sorry.

asr-001003
01:23:31.600 --> 01:23:33.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-001004
01:23:33.600 --> 01:23:35.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For student.

asr-001005
01:23:35.600 --> 01:23:37.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For the present tuition fee, based on...

asr-001006
01:23:37.600 --> 01:23:42.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Let's start with the cost of education per student.

asr-001007
01:23:42.600 --> 01:23:43.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yes, per head.

asr-001008
01:23:43.600 --> 01:23:46.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Based on our current data now,

asr-001009
01:23:46.600 --> 01:23:48.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: the expenses of the per capita...

asr-001010
01:23:48.600 --> 01:23:52.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: The per capita is 5,500.

asr-001011
01:23:52.600 --> 01:23:53.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-001012
01:23:53.600 --> 01:24:03.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pero based on SGV, na nandun lahat yung cost ng personnel ay 31,844 per student.

asr-001013
01:24:03.600 --> 01:24:04.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-001014
01:24:04.600 --> 01:24:05.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, ito po, no?

asr-001015
01:24:05.600 --> 01:24:12.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Alam mo natin na may pondo yung SUC mula sa GAA.

asr-001016
01:24:12.600 --> 01:24:13.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Tama, Dr. Mira, no?

asr-001017
01:24:13.600 --> 01:24:16.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: May pondo ka for the UAQTEA, di ba?

asr-001018
01:24:16.600 --> 01:24:18.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: May pondo ka pa for TES.

asr-001019
01:24:18.600 --> 01:24:19.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Is that correct, Chair Shirley?

asr-001020
01:24:19.600 --> 01:24:21.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Tatlo yung pondo na yun, di ba?

asr-001021
01:24:21.600 --> 01:24:22.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: May pondo ka.

asr-001022
01:24:22.600 --> 01:24:24.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But ang TES kasi direct to student yun.

asr-001023
01:24:24.600 --> 01:24:26.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, technically, hindi yun pupunta sa mga eskwelahan.

asr-001024
01:24:26.600 --> 01:24:28.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, we're talking about two funds.

asr-001025
01:24:28.600 --> 01:24:34.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung budget ng SUC at yung allocation nila from 10931.

asr-001026
01:24:34.600 --> 01:24:35.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Is that correct?

asr-001027
01:24:35.600 --> 01:24:36.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That's how the budget is structured.

asr-001028
01:24:36.600 --> 01:24:37.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes, po.

asr-001029
01:24:37.600 --> 01:24:45.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And last year, sabi natin, ba't pa tayo nagkakaroon ng dalawang classification?

asr-001030
01:24:45.600 --> 01:24:47.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kung pareho rin lang naman yan, di ba?

asr-001031
01:24:47.600 --> 01:24:51.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Naging dalawa lang yan because when 10931 was enacted,

asr-001032
01:24:51.600 --> 01:24:55.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we needed, the schools needed to charge a certain amount to the fund.

asr-001033
01:24:55.600 --> 01:24:56.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes.

asr-001034
01:24:56.600 --> 01:24:59.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kaya nagkaroon ng second bucket.

asr-001035
01:24:59.600 --> 01:25:01.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But actually, it's the same.

asr-001036
01:25:01.600 --> 01:25:06.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi pag inad mo yan, dinivide mo sa number of students, yun yung gastos natin per capita.

asr-001037
01:25:06.600 --> 01:25:07.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Correct, no?

asr-001038
01:25:07.600 --> 01:25:08.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Is the logic correct?

asr-001039
01:25:08.600 --> 01:25:10.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: On the record, please.

asr-001040
01:25:10.600 --> 01:25:11.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes, po.

asr-001041
01:25:11.600 --> 01:25:12.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: That's the most logical.

asr-001042
01:25:12.600 --> 01:25:13.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, moving forward.

asr-001043
01:25:13.600 --> 01:25:14.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And because of that,

asr-001044
01:25:14.600 --> 01:25:17.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and because of that chair, nagka-distortion eh.

asr-001045
01:25:17.600 --> 01:25:27.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi yung posibleng noon, maliit yung budget ng SUC sa operations, pero malaki yung kanyang tuition or baliktad, no?

asr-001046
01:25:27.600 --> 01:25:35.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Mababa yung tuition, hindi, malaki yung tuition, mababa yung operations or vice versa.

asr-001047
01:25:35.600 --> 01:25:43.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, to really move forward with better planning, at para rin mas fair tayo sa isa't isa, maganda kung nakikita natin,

asr-001048
01:25:43.600 --> 01:25:50.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: on a per head level, on a, you know, we can have, we can base it on geography, we can base it on ano yung courses offered.

asr-001049
01:25:50.600 --> 01:25:57.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But maganda sana, meron tayong standards across all SUCs and areas.

asr-001050
01:25:57.600 --> 01:25:59.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kung maga may rhyme or reason dito.

asr-001051
01:25:59.600 --> 01:26:06.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi alam ko naman yung totoo na noon, may 12 pesos, may 500 pesos, tapos gumulo-gulo na siya down the line.

asr-001052
01:26:06.600 --> 01:26:12.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Maganda po siguro, if we can't do it this year, I hope before your term ends, before my term ends,

asr-001053
01:26:12.600 --> 01:26:16.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we get to a point na mas rationalized na yung gastos.

asr-001054
01:26:16.600 --> 01:26:21.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi yung ibig sabihin ang rationalized ay bababa. Ibig lang sabihin may rational na, no?

asr-001055
01:26:21.600 --> 01:26:25.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na mas malinaw na yung rason kung bakit ganito at ganyaan, no?

asr-001056
01:26:25.600 --> 01:26:33.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And we leave it to CHED to determine, oh this school, nasa ganitong kategory siya, therefore yung range niya ganito.

asr-001057
01:26:33.600 --> 01:26:36.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung itong ganitong school, nasa ganitong kategory siya, so yung range niya ganyan.

asr-001058
01:26:36.600 --> 01:26:41.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Maybe centers of excellence have a higher per capita. We leave it to you.

asr-001059
01:26:42.600 --> 01:26:54.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I would really suggest, Chair Shirley, na meron tayong analysis or perspective na per head, per school, alam natin dapat kung ano yung total cost natin.

asr-001060
01:26:54.600 --> 01:27:00.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: At huwag tayong matakot sa mga numurong ito, no? Because this will help us in our planning also.

asr-001061
01:27:00.600 --> 01:27:01.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Chair Shirley?

asr-001062
01:27:01.600 --> 01:27:03.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yeah, we commit to that.

asr-001063
01:27:03.600 --> 01:27:07.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay, we don't have that yet this year, di ba? Kasi the budget is still the same as previous years, no?

asr-001064
01:27:07.600 --> 01:27:12.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yeah. Ang pakiusap ko lang po, if we go to, we have to really dig dive.

asr-001065
01:27:12.600 --> 01:27:15.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: On the result of the SGV

asr-001066
01:27:15.600 --> 01:27:22.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Meron na pong SGV result that if you want to, it is part of the option of our proposal

asr-001067
01:27:22.600 --> 01:27:29.520
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yung saan yung sinasabi niyong mga factors ay nagkasama sa equation.

asr-001068
01:27:29.520 --> 01:27:30.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Opo.

asr-001069
01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:38.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Nandun na po yun. Meron na pong amount, in fact, meron na. But we are hoping sana na... nasaan na yun?

asr-001070
01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:40.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: yung si SGV?

asr-001071
01:27:40.600 --> 01:27:41.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Meron na po, meron na po... That's the... I understand. Okay.

asr-001072
01:27:41.600 --> 01:27:45.260
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pero na po, that's the result of the SGV study.

asr-001073
01:27:46.260 --> 01:27:48.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But you haven't implemented that yet.

asr-001074
01:27:48.500 --> 01:27:50.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So firstly, you haven't accepted it yet.

asr-001075
01:27:50.320 --> 01:27:52.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi nyo pa na-accept as a board, diba?

asr-001076
01:27:53.100 --> 01:27:55.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We accepted it already po.

asr-001077
01:27:56.280 --> 01:28:03.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ang question lang po is, kaya ba ng gobyerno based on the limited space?

asr-001078
01:28:03.620 --> 01:28:05.980
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So ito po yung SGB, nandyan po.

asr-001079
01:28:05.980 --> 01:28:09.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Well, yung kaya't hindi is our problem.

asr-001080
01:28:09.640 --> 01:28:11.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung kaya't hindi is our problem.

asr-001081
01:28:11.820 --> 01:28:15.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But, for example, we're doing the budget of 2027.

asr-001082
01:28:16.500 --> 01:28:17.840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Obviously, you're all operating.

asr-001083
01:28:18.620 --> 01:28:23.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So ibig sabihin, yung base case, it's working, diba?

asr-001084
01:28:23.660 --> 01:28:25.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi buhay naman tayong lahat.

asr-001085
01:28:25.440 --> 01:28:29.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Pero we want to move to a place na mas magkakalapit yung mga presyo,

asr-001086
01:28:30.240 --> 01:28:32.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: mas may rason kung bakit ganito yung mga presyo.

asr-001087
01:28:32.580 --> 01:28:38.260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And what we can do, Mr. Chair, is we can ask Edcom, Ed, Carol, no?

asr-001088
01:28:38.420 --> 01:28:41.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: We can maybe have a small meeting with Ched and Dino.

asr-001089
01:28:41.600 --> 01:28:45.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Even starting, as soon as this budget is passed, starting January,

asr-001090
01:28:46.500 --> 01:28:52.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: simulan na natin yung proseso na mas malinaw at mas maayos na yung true cost of education, no?

asr-001091
01:28:52.540 --> 01:28:54.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: If you're okay with that, Chair Shirley.

asr-001092
01:28:54.980 --> 01:28:59.980
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: That is, in fact, nag-meeting na po kami ni Ed, Carol, kanina.

asr-001093
01:29:00.520 --> 01:29:01.880
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: That is a way forward.

asr-001094
01:29:02.640 --> 01:29:04.260
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pero hindi ko alam.

asr-001095
01:29:04.480 --> 01:29:10.580
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Titignan lang po natin kasi if there is a way na kahit konti lang i-implement

asr-001096
01:29:10.580 --> 01:29:11.580
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: sa increase ng TBM,

asr-001097
01:29:11.600 --> 01:29:12.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: tuition fee ng SUC,

asr-001098
01:29:12.700 --> 01:29:14.020
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: nahuhuli po sila talaga.

asr-001099
01:29:14.400 --> 01:29:16.060
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kasi if you see the data,

asr-001100
01:29:16.320 --> 01:29:16.800
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: yung sa,

asr-001101
01:29:17.320 --> 01:29:18.000
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: meron akong,

asr-001102
01:29:18.260 --> 01:29:19.820
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: yung tawag kong leveling up,

asr-001103
01:29:19.900 --> 01:29:23.220
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: yung rationalization nyo is more on a scientific na.

asr-001104
01:29:23.380 --> 01:29:23.940
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Meron na na.

asr-001105
01:29:24.200 --> 01:29:25.920
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So para po maibsan

asr-001106
01:29:25.920 --> 01:29:27.000
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ang,

asr-001107
01:29:27.000 --> 01:29:27.440
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ang,

asr-001108
01:29:27.440 --> 01:29:28.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ang,

asr-001109
01:29:28.740 --> 01:29:30.820
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ang sakit ng loob

asr-001110
01:29:30.820 --> 01:29:33.320
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ng mga SUC na hindi nakakahabol,

asr-001111
01:29:33.860 --> 01:29:36.420
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: may nagkocollect ng 12 pesos per unit,

asr-001112
01:29:37.100 --> 01:29:38.580
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 50 pesos per unit,

asr-001113
01:29:39.240 --> 01:29:40.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 500 per unit,

asr-001114
01:29:40.700 --> 01:29:45.380
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ah, ah, 50 pesos, 75 per unit, 100,

asr-001115
01:29:45.380 --> 01:29:51.460
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: to a limited number of SUC collecting 500 pesos per unit.

asr-001116
01:29:51.460 --> 01:29:56.200
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, considering po yung limited fiscal space ngayon,

asr-001117
01:29:56.200 --> 01:30:00.000
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: while we will do a more scientific basis of

asr-001118
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:08.920
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: of harmonizing tuition fee across the HCI para po makapag-angat sila ng konti.

asr-001119
01:30:09.060 --> 01:30:12.500
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: May proposal kami, we call it leveling up.

asr-001120
01:30:12.580 --> 01:30:18.760
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Can you go to this one, yung 20% increase, yung next.

asr-001121
01:30:18.760 --> 01:30:22.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So ito po, nasaan yung number?

asr-001122
01:30:22.600 --> 01:30:42.220
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: If we are going to follow this sa suks and luks, lahat-lahat ng school na nagko-collect ng tuition fee below P250 ay iaangat hanggang P250.

asr-001123
01:30:43.220 --> 01:30:52.540
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And then yung mga suks na nagko-collect ng P250 up, mabigyan lang sila ng 20%.

asr-001124
01:30:52.540 --> 01:31:17.160
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So kung ito ay masusundan, about 108 university will benefit because about 108 suks are charging tuition fee per unit below P250.

asr-001125
01:31:17.480 --> 01:31:20.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ako, I'm very willing to support this, Chair Shirley.

asr-001126
01:31:20.520 --> 01:31:22.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But isn't the government...

asr-001127
01:31:22.540 --> 01:31:26.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: 5 billion? Paano siya naging 11 billion? Can you explain to me again?

asr-001128
01:31:26.620 --> 01:31:40.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ah, yung kung sa suks po, so kung nabilang na po namin yung number of students across suks na naniningil ng tuition fee below P250.

asr-001129
01:31:40.100 --> 01:31:47.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: No, I understand. Yung funding differential mo, yung total is 5.5 billion. Paano siya naging 11 billion sa dulo?

asr-001130
01:31:47.380 --> 01:31:49.340
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ito po, per sem po kasi yan.

asr-001131
01:31:49.420 --> 01:31:50.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ah, per sem.

asr-001132
01:31:50.120 --> 01:31:50.520
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ah, po.

asr-001133
01:31:51.120 --> 01:31:52.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: O nga pala. O nga pala.

asr-001134
01:31:52.540 --> 01:32:02.820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay, sige. So we will have EDCOM try to understand this better. Ang mahalaga siguro is every year, patas tayo ng patas. Di tayo pababa ng pababa.

asr-001135
01:32:02.980 --> 01:32:12.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So we will seriously take a look at this. I think this is really important because ito yung... So iniiba natin muna yung test and we'll get to the test later.

asr-001136
01:32:13.200 --> 01:32:18.520
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ito yung libring kulihiyo. Ito yung our ability to provide quality education. Ito yun. Tama ba, Chair?

asr-001137
01:32:18.680 --> 01:32:19.080
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes po.

asr-001138
01:32:19.080 --> 01:32:22.080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ito yun, diba? Okay, sige. So anyway...

asr-001139
01:32:22.540 --> 01:32:34.140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: We will of course go into further meetings from here but thank you for clarifying this. Would you say na this is probably something like kung priority, isa na to sa pinaka-priority, ano?

asr-001140
01:32:34.580 --> 01:32:35.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Isa siya sa pinaka-priority.

asr-001141
01:32:35.600 --> 01:32:38.980
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: This is the priority. Kasi last year, ang priority, babayaran yung mga utang, diba?

asr-001142
01:32:39.400 --> 01:32:39.660
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes po.

asr-001143
01:32:39.660 --> 01:32:43.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Oo. So ito ngayon yung priority. And I agree. Okay, sige. Let me go to other questions.

asr-001144
01:32:45.460 --> 01:32:48.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So thank you for the Ched Tanaw. Malinaw yung Ched Tanaw.

asr-001145
01:32:49.500 --> 01:32:52.200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ang hindi ko nakita doon, and I'm sure wala naman yung doon.

asr-001146
01:32:52.540 --> 01:32:57.060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Baka alam po ninyo. Ano yung ating acceptance rate now?

asr-001147
01:32:57.740 --> 01:33:08.680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So accepted versus applicants. I know that some SUCs are at 20% or 25% or even lower.

asr-001148
01:33:10.020 --> 01:33:11.840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ano po ba ngayon yung average natin?

asr-001149
01:33:12.780 --> 01:33:16.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi, can I ask? Para naman meron tayong interactive tayo today.

asr-001150
01:33:17.120 --> 01:33:19.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Taas po kamay mga SUC presidents. Taas po ang kamay.

asr-001151
01:33:21.420 --> 01:33:21.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-001152
01:33:22.540 --> 01:33:25.400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay lang po ito. Pampagising lang.

asr-001153
01:33:25.720 --> 01:33:26.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That's a good point.

asr-001154
01:33:27.020 --> 01:33:27.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: Okay. Meron na po.

asr-001155
01:33:27.360 --> 01:33:28.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sa etero ba, daming nagising.

asr-001156
01:33:28.460 --> 01:33:29.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pa para, para.

asr-001157
01:33:29.300 --> 01:33:32.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ano pa nakikita yung natutulog? Hindi ko na lang, hindi ko na lang sinasabi eh.

asr-001158
01:33:32.460 --> 01:33:33.140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Para interactive po.

asr-001159
01:33:33.140 --> 01:33:36.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: Okay lang matulog sa likod, huwag lang sa harap namin kasi naingit kami.

asr-001160
01:33:36.580 --> 01:33:37.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Thank you, thank you.

asr-001161
01:33:37.580 --> 01:33:37.740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-001162
01:33:38.380 --> 01:33:43.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Pwede pong tumayo, meron po bang SUC 75% acceptance?

asr-001163
01:33:44.560 --> 01:33:45.680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I'm sure wala, diba?

asr-001164
01:33:46.140 --> 01:33:52.200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Pwede pong tumayo, SUC 50% so applicants versus accepted ah?

asr-001165
01:33:52.540 --> 01:33:53.040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-001166
01:33:53.040 --> 01:33:53.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: 50%?

asr-001167
01:33:53.540 --> 01:33:54.040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Meron po.

asr-001168
01:33:54.040 --> 01:33:58.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I want to ask the ma'am, yung mga SUC po, 50% meron po ba tumayo?

asr-001169
01:33:59.540 --> 01:34:00.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Wala? Okay.

asr-001170
01:34:00.540 --> 01:34:07.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Meron po dito 30% ang kanila acceptance rate, pwede pong tumayo na SUC, tayo po tayo.

asr-001171
01:34:08.540 --> 01:34:11.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Tarlac, TAU, saan po kayo sir?

asr-001172
01:34:11.540 --> 01:34:13.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Bohol Island, Bisu, Bisu no?

asr-001173
01:34:13.540 --> 01:34:15.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Saan po kayo sir? Sir?

asr-001174
01:34:15.540 --> 01:34:21.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: May ba Vizcaya? Ah, here also. Saan po kayo sir? Mariano Marcos, kayo po?

asr-001175
01:34:22.540 --> 01:34:25.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ah, Northern Iloilo State University.

asr-001176
01:34:26.540 --> 01:34:32.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay. Sino po dito yung 20%, 25% ang acceptance?

asr-001177
01:34:33.540 --> 01:34:36.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Karamihan? Marami rin. Okay.

asr-001178
01:34:37.540 --> 01:34:43.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sino po dito less than 20% ang tinatanggap sa mga aplikante? Saan kayo sir?

asr-001179
01:34:44.540 --> 01:34:51.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Cebu Normal. Less than, ano pong acceptance rate po ninyo? 15%? Kayo sir?

asr-001180
01:34:52.540 --> 01:34:54.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Saan po?

asr-001181
01:34:54.540 --> 01:34:55.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Saan po?

asr-001185
01:34:58.540 --> 01:34:59.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Iloilo Science.

asr-001186
01:34:59.540 --> 01:35:00.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-001187
01:35:00.540 --> 01:35:04.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So what's your acceptance rate sir? 19? Kayo po sa UP sir?

asr-001188
01:35:05.540 --> 01:35:08.540
UP President Angelo A. Jimenez: Around 10%, UPCAT qualifiers.

asr-001189
01:35:09.540 --> 01:35:13.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And from the UPCAT qualifiers, how many do you accept?

asr-001190
01:35:13.540 --> 01:35:18.540
UP President Angelo A. Jimenez: Yeah, we would take last year 153,000, we accepted around 10%, around 13%.

asr-001191
01:35:18.540 --> 01:35:19.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: 10%

asr-001192
01:35:19.540 --> 01:35:20.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-001193
01:35:20.540 --> 01:35:21.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So ito po.

asr-001194
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.

asr-001195
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.

asr-001196
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?

asr-001197
01:35:44.540 --> 01:35:45.540
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yeah.

asr-001198
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%.

asr-001199
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.

asr-001200
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.

asr-001201
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?

asr-001202
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.

asr-001203
01:36:42.540 --> 01:36:43.540
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes.

asr-001204
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...

asr-001205
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.

asr-001206
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%.

asr-001207
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.

asr-001208
01:37:16.100 --> 01:37:19.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Exactly. And absorptive capacity again goes back to budget.

asr-001209
01:37:19.540 --> 01:37:19.840
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes po.

asr-001210
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.

asr-001211
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?

asr-001212
01:37:37.460 --> 01:37:40.080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasama ba? Wala no? Hindi ho na pag-usapan.

asr-001213
01:37:40.080 --> 01:37:44.780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But maganda siguro ito, Chair Shirley, masama sa ating cluster.

asr-001214
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.

asr-001215
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?

asr-001216
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.

asr-001217
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.

asr-001218
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.

asr-001219
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?

asr-001220
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,

asr-001221
01:38:38.580 --> 01:38:43.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and lastly, Mr. Chairman, babanggitin ko rin, rationalization of courses.

asr-001222
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.

asr-001223
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.

asr-001224
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.

asr-001225
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.

asr-001226
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,

asr-001227
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.

asr-001228
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.

asr-001229
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.

asr-001230
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,

asr-001231
01:39:43.320 --> 01:39:44.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: hindi po natin nakukuha yung reforma.

asr-001232
01:39:44.780 --> 01:39:50.280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, ito ang nais po natin. And while Sen. Joel and I are here, and EDCOM, and while you are here,

asr-001233
01:39:50.340 --> 01:39:52.520
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I'm sure we can work together on this.

asr-001234
01:39:52.860 --> 01:40:00.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, panghuli lang, Mr. Chairperson, yung ano po, yung Libreng Kolehiyo, hindi naman ho bababa.

asr-001235
01:40:00.720 --> 01:40:04.980
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ang dami ng scholars po natin, no? Tama po, Chair, no? Di naman ho siya bababa.

asr-001236
01:40:06.220 --> 01:40:07.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Hindi naman po.

asr-001237
01:40:07.160 --> 01:40:10.400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Oo, pero nais natin siyang itaas pa. Correct. That's the gap, diba?

asr-001238
01:40:10.700 --> 01:40:14.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung TES, bababa po ba siya? O na-maintain?

asr-001239
01:40:14.780 --> 01:40:16.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: O tataas? With the current NEP?

asr-001240
01:40:17.540 --> 01:40:24.920
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: With the recalibrated request now, after reconciling our data,

asr-001241
01:40:25.380 --> 01:40:31.620
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: baka po hindi na natin makuha yung significant increase from 2025 to 2026.

asr-001242
01:40:31.640 --> 01:40:32.240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yes, yes.

asr-001243
01:40:32.400 --> 01:40:37.920
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 2026 to 2027 may increase a little bit, but we expect.

asr-001244
01:40:38.380 --> 01:40:42.140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Well, to be fair, as you know, I campaigned on this also.

asr-001245
01:40:42.800 --> 01:40:43.780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sabi ko rin, eh.

asr-001246
01:40:43.940 --> 01:40:44.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: In the previous season,

asr-001247
01:40:44.780 --> 01:40:49.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: in the previous years, in the previous Chair of CHED, bababa, no?

asr-001248
01:40:49.140 --> 01:40:51.640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Chair Joel, no? Bababa yung scholarships.

asr-001249
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.

asr-001250
01:40:56.920 --> 01:40:59.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kaya medyo malaki po yung jump last year.

asr-001251
01:40:59.940 --> 01:41:02.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So ngayon naman, mahalaga sa amin na hindi ito bababa.

asr-001252
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. Tama po?

asr-001253
01:41:09.620 --> 01:41:14.760
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes, Sen. And we are very happy na yung attrition rate,

asr-001254
01:41:14.840 --> 01:41:18.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: na naging problema noon, we were able to reduce it.

asr-001255
01:41:18.200 --> 01:41:18.720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yes, yes.

asr-001256
01:41:18.740 --> 01:41:20.500
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For 2026 na.

asr-001257
01:41:20.660 --> 01:41:20.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yes.

asr-001258
01:41:21.800 --> 01:41:22.980
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Chair, last na lang.

asr-001259
01:41:23.360 --> 01:41:25.660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I'm sure you're already working with Sen. Joel's office,

asr-001260
01:41:25.660 --> 01:41:27.660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: but i-prioritize po natin yung mga...

asr-001261
01:41:28.620 --> 01:41:33.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I don't think we can make up 30 billion, Sen. Joel, to be very honest.

asr-001262
01:41:34.020 --> 01:41:35.320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: 30 billion yung kulang hunin nyo.

asr-001263
01:41:35.420 --> 01:41:40.740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But if we can prioritize ano yung mga laman po doon na pinaka-importante,

asr-001264
01:41:40.840 --> 01:41:42.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: pinaka-mahalaga, pinaka-kailangan pondohan,

asr-001265
01:41:43.200 --> 01:41:44.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: if you can communicate that with us,

asr-001266
01:41:44.580 --> 01:41:47.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we will do our best to increase those budgets to.

asr-001267
01:41:47.420 --> 01:41:49.860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Salamat po. Thank you, everyone. And thank you, Chair Shirley.

asr-001269
01:41:51.400 --> 01:41:54.820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sorry, sorry. Nakalimutan ko yung main reason, yung main question ko.

asr-001270
01:41:55.460 --> 01:41:59.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ma'am, yung RLE natin, ma'am. Alam ko may SARO na daw yun.

asr-001271
01:41:59.780 --> 01:42:02.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: When are you releasing the RLE scholarships po?

asr-001272
01:42:03.240 --> 01:42:05.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Unang tanong sa ating director, kailan in...

asr-001277
01:42:17.920 --> 01:42:22.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Just like yung pag-speed up namin ng deficiency ng free higher education,

asr-001278
01:42:22.960 --> 01:42:27.560
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: kahit kukunti yung aming personnel na ito ang pinakikiusap ko last year,

01:46:29.820 --> 01:46:31.340
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: billion for capital outlay.

asr-001361
01:46:31.340 --> 01:46:33.280
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: This means that capital outlay

asr-001362
01:46:33.280 --> 01:46:35.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: accounts for only 4.72

asr-001363
01:46:35.580 --> 01:46:37.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of the total proposed

asr-001364
01:46:37.120 --> 01:46:39.320
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUC budget, leaving

asr-001365
01:46:39.320 --> 01:46:41.340
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: a relatively fiscal space

asr-001366
01:46:41.340 --> 01:46:43.420
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for investment and expansion.

asr-001367
01:46:44.460 --> 01:46:45.420
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, at

asr-001368
01:46:45.420 --> 01:46:47.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the first glance, Mr. Chairman,

asr-001369
01:46:47.420 --> 01:46:48.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the MOOE

asr-001370
01:46:48.820 --> 01:46:50.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: looks higher, but

asr-001371
01:46:50.740 --> 01:46:53.320
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: if we will be looking at the granular

asr-001372
01:46:53.320 --> 01:46:55.280
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: level, 58

asr-001373
01:46:55.280 --> 01:46:56.980
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of our SUCs

asr-001374
01:46:56.980 --> 01:46:59.520
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: suffer decrease in our MOOE.

asr-001375
01:46:59.820 --> 01:47:02.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There are more than 50

asr-001376
01:47:02.220 --> 01:47:04.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: who increase their MOOE. If you get

asr-001377
01:47:04.100 --> 01:47:06.300
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the net increase, we have

asr-001378
01:47:06.300 --> 01:47:08.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: increase, but we have to look

asr-001379
01:47:08.180 --> 01:47:09.860
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: into the other SUCs

asr-001380
01:47:09.860 --> 01:47:12.300
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: who suffer decrease in MOOE.

asr-001381
01:47:12.740 --> 01:47:14.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In the next slide, we

asr-001382
01:47:14.160 --> 01:47:14.720
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: have

asr-001383
01:47:14.720 --> 01:47:18.200
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the NEP by region.

asr-001384
01:47:19.040 --> 01:47:20.200
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Of the total budget,

asr-001385
01:47:20.360 --> 01:47:22.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the UP system takes the largest share

asr-001386
01:47:22.180 --> 01:47:23.780
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of 20%, receiving

asr-001387
01:47:23.780 --> 01:47:26.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 26.618 billion,

asr-001388
01:47:26.020 --> 01:47:27.400
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: followed by region 3.

asr-001389
01:47:27.940 --> 01:47:29.800
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Region 3, I must say, per second.

asr-001390
01:47:29.820 --> 01:47:31.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: At 8%.

asr-001391
01:47:31.940 --> 01:47:34.000
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: With 12 SUCs. Among the

asr-001392
01:47:34.000 --> 01:47:36.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: regions, Mr. Chairman, I think this is your region.

asr-001393
01:47:36.480 --> 01:47:38.060
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We have to tell you that this is the

asr-001394
01:47:38.060 --> 01:47:39.640
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: biggest region in terms of SUCs.

asr-001395
01:47:40.080 --> 01:47:41.920
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We have 12 SUCs

asr-001396
01:47:41.920 --> 01:47:43.960
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in region 3. So that's why it

asr-001397
01:47:43.960 --> 01:47:45.980
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: got the second highest after

asr-001398
01:47:45.980 --> 01:47:48.260
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: UP, but that's only 8%.

asr-001399
01:47:48.260 --> 01:47:50.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Region 6 and region

asr-001400
01:47:50.120 --> 01:47:51.920
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: and the MSU system, it's received

asr-001401
01:47:51.920 --> 01:47:53.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: about 7%. Well,

asr-001402
01:47:53.820 --> 01:47:55.960
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: NCR, including UP, and

asr-001403
01:47:55.960 --> 01:47:58.200
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: region 8 account for 6%

asr-001404
01:47:58.200 --> 01:47:59.800
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: each. In the next,

asr-001405
01:47:59.820 --> 01:48:01.660
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: next slide, let's have a comparison

asr-001406
01:48:01.660 --> 01:48:03.620
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of the National Expediture Program

asr-001407
01:48:03.620 --> 01:48:04.420
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: by expense.

asr-001408
01:48:06.140 --> 01:48:07.760
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: You can see in our

asr-001409
01:48:07.760 --> 01:48:08.880
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: table that

asr-001410
01:48:08.880 --> 01:48:11.400
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: PS, we had an increase of

asr-001411
01:48:11.400 --> 01:48:13.780
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 7.42 billion. That's the highest

asr-001412
01:48:13.780 --> 01:48:15.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: increase, 9.64. But that is

asr-001413
01:48:15.580 --> 01:48:17.620
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: mandatory, Mr. Chairman. And

asr-001414
01:48:17.620 --> 01:48:19.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for MOOE, as I have mentioned,

asr-001415
01:48:20.020 --> 01:48:21.960
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: that is 3.58%

asr-001416
01:48:21.960 --> 01:48:23.680
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: increase. That is

asr-001417
01:48:23.680 --> 01:48:25.780
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in general. But I

asr-001418
01:48:25.780 --> 01:48:27.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: was lamenting on the decrease of SUCs

asr-001419
01:48:27.940 --> 01:48:29.800
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in terms of their MOOE.

asr-001420
01:48:29.820 --> 01:48:31.420
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 58 of us po.

asr-001421
01:48:32.000 --> 01:48:34.080
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: For capital outlay, this is

asr-001422
01:48:34.080 --> 01:48:35.500
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: appalling, Mr. Chair.

asr-001423
01:48:36.040 --> 01:48:37.780
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We have in our NEP

asr-001424
01:48:37.780 --> 01:48:39.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 6.36

asr-001425
01:48:40.460 --> 01:48:41.800
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: billion compared to

asr-001426
01:48:41.800 --> 01:48:44.140
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: NEP last year of 9.56

asr-001427
01:48:44.140 --> 01:48:45.800
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: billion. So we had a

asr-001428
01:48:45.800 --> 01:48:47.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: decrease of 33.47%.

asr-001429
01:48:49.200 --> 01:48:49.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So

asr-001430
01:48:50.380 --> 01:48:51.900
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of the total, it looks

asr-001431
01:48:51.900 --> 01:48:53.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: like there is an

asr-001432
01:48:53.600 --> 01:48:55.240
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: increase, NEP to NEP.

asr-001433
01:48:55.640 --> 01:48:57.520
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: NEP 2026 and NEP

asr-001434
01:48:57.520 --> 01:48:58.400
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 2027.

asr-001435
01:48:59.820 --> 01:49:01.720
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In general, there is an increase of

asr-001436
01:49:01.720 --> 01:49:03.860
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 4.45%. But there

asr-001437
01:49:03.860 --> 01:49:05.860
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: was a very significant

asr-001438
01:49:05.860 --> 01:49:08.000
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: decrease in our capital outlay.

asr-001439
01:49:08.140 --> 01:49:09.520
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: That is a decrease of

asr-001440
01:49:09.520 --> 01:49:11.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: one-third or 33.47%.

asr-001441
01:49:12.580 --> 01:49:13.920
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In the

asr-001442
01:49:13.920 --> 01:49:15.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: next slide, we have

asr-001443
01:49:15.820 --> 01:49:17.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the comparison of our current

asr-001444
01:49:17.820 --> 01:49:19.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: NEP of the 2027

asr-001445
01:49:19.580 --> 01:49:20.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: versus GA.

asr-001446
01:49:21.960 --> 01:49:23.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: The presentation

asr-001447
01:49:23.380 --> 01:49:25.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: shows that 15.756

asr-001448
01:49:26.620 --> 01:49:28.060
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: billion for

asr-001449
01:49:28.060 --> 01:49:29.660
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: GA 2026,

asr-001450
01:49:29.820 --> 01:49:31.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: and 6.358 billion

asr-001451
01:49:31.940 --> 01:49:34.280
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for NEP 2027.

asr-001452
01:49:35.740 --> 01:49:36.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: This is

asr-001453
01:49:36.940 --> 01:49:38.960
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 60% below

asr-001454
01:49:38.960 --> 01:49:41.320
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the 2026 GA level,

asr-001455
01:49:41.500 --> 01:49:41.960
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Mr. Chair.

asr-001456
01:49:42.860 --> 01:49:45.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, out of this,

asr-001457
01:49:45.680 --> 01:49:47.280
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: there are, as we

asr-001458
01:49:47.280 --> 01:49:49.200
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: lament, there was a

asr-001459
01:49:49.200 --> 01:49:51.320
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: significant decrease in terms of capital

asr-001460
01:49:51.320 --> 01:49:53.240
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: outlay. Comparing

asr-001461
01:49:53.240 --> 01:49:55.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the NEP 2027

asr-001462
01:49:55.180 --> 01:49:56.840
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: to GA 2026,

asr-001463
01:49:56.840 --> 01:49:59.040
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: we had a decrease or a cut

asr-001464
01:49:59.040 --> 01:49:59.460
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of

asr-001465
01:49:59.820 --> 01:50:01.980
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: more than 50%. So, it went down

asr-001466
01:50:01.980 --> 01:50:05.080
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 59.65%.

asr-001467
01:50:05.080 --> 01:50:07.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, there are

asr-001468
01:50:07.600 --> 01:50:09.860
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 12 of us who really

asr-001469
01:50:09.860 --> 01:50:12.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: don't have any capital

asr-001470
01:50:12.020 --> 01:50:13.640
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: outlay, whether equipment

asr-001471
01:50:13.640 --> 01:50:15.860
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: or infrastructure. But

asr-001472
01:50:15.860 --> 01:50:18.000
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for SUCs without infrastructure,

asr-001473
01:50:18.600 --> 01:50:19.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: we have

asr-001474
01:50:19.560 --> 01:50:21.140
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 25 SUCs.

asr-001475
01:50:22.280 --> 01:50:23.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, that

asr-001476
01:50:23.820 --> 01:50:26.000
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: is our very reason, Mr. Chair,

asr-001477
01:50:26.000 --> 01:50:27.640
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of coming here to appeal for

asr-001478
01:50:27.640 --> 01:50:29.040
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this decrease.

asr-001479
01:50:29.820 --> 01:50:31.300
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Especially for capital outlay.

asr-001480
01:50:31.920 --> 01:50:33.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In the next slide,

asr-001481
01:50:34.020 --> 01:50:36.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this is the comparison

asr-001482
01:50:36.160 --> 01:50:38.080
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of what SUCs proposed

asr-001483
01:50:38.080 --> 01:50:40.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: through our RDC

asr-001484
01:50:40.020 --> 01:50:42.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: versus what was

asr-001485
01:50:42.020 --> 01:50:43.300
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: granted to us.

asr-001486
01:50:44.000 --> 01:50:46.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In summary, SUCs

asr-001487
01:50:46.220 --> 01:50:47.800
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: through our RDCs proposed

asr-001488
01:50:47.800 --> 01:50:49.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 312 billion pesos.

asr-001489
01:50:50.280 --> 01:50:51.480
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But we were given

asr-001490
01:50:51.480 --> 01:50:54.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 134.561

asr-001491
01:50:54.220 --> 01:50:56.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: billion pesos.

asr-001492
01:50:56.880 --> 01:50:58.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, that is a very

asr-001493
01:50:58.180 --> 01:50:59.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: big cut, Mr. Chair.

asr-001494
01:50:59.820 --> 01:51:01.780
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And, as you may

asr-001495
01:51:01.780 --> 01:51:03.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: also see, of the cut,

asr-001496
01:51:04.220 --> 01:51:06.040
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: we got the largest cut

asr-001497
01:51:06.040 --> 01:51:08.260
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in MOOE. Of the proposed

asr-001498
01:51:08.260 --> 01:51:10.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 140.2 billion,

asr-001499
01:51:10.200 --> 01:51:11.800
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: only 6.36 billion

asr-001500
01:51:11.800 --> 01:51:13.540
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: was granted. So, that is

asr-001501
01:51:13.540 --> 01:51:16.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: accounting to 4.53%.

asr-001502
01:51:16.380 --> 01:51:17.980
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, only

asr-001503
01:51:17.980 --> 01:51:20.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 4. or less than 5%

asr-001504
01:51:20.020 --> 01:51:21.520
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of our proposal, Mr. Chair,

asr-001505
01:51:21.920 --> 01:51:23.620
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: was provided for

asr-001506
01:51:23.620 --> 01:51:26.080
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in the NEP. In the next slide,

asr-001507
01:51:27.080 --> 01:51:29.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: we have

asr-001508
01:51:29.160 --> 01:51:30.980
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: also noted this

asr-001509
01:51:30.980 --> 01:51:32.980
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: decrease in research investment

asr-001510
01:51:32.980 --> 01:51:34.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in SUCs. Generally,

asr-001511
01:51:35.520 --> 01:51:37.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for 2027 SUCs,

asr-001512
01:51:38.640 --> 01:51:39.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUC research

asr-001513
01:51:39.580 --> 01:51:40.920
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: allocation of

asr-001514
01:51:40.920 --> 01:51:42.520
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 2.596 billion,

asr-001515
01:51:43.320 --> 01:51:44.960
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: there was a decrease

asr-001516
01:51:44.960 --> 01:51:47.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of 1.87% from

asr-001517
01:51:47.180 --> 01:51:48.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the current level of our NEP.

asr-001518
01:51:49.100 --> 01:51:51.520
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, it can be noted that the

asr-001519
01:51:51.520 --> 01:51:52.900
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Philippines is not

asr-001520
01:51:52.900 --> 01:51:55.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: doing very well in terms of

asr-001521
01:51:55.380 --> 01:51:57.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the gross expenditure

asr-001522
01:51:57.600 --> 01:51:59.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: on research and

asr-001523
01:51:59.160 --> 01:52:01.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: development. So, we only

asr-001524
01:52:01.100 --> 01:52:03.040
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: have 0.32% of our

asr-001525
01:52:03.040 --> 01:52:05.200
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: GDP compared to that of Malaysia

asr-001526
01:52:05.200 --> 01:52:07.880
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: which is 1.44%

asr-001527
01:52:07.880 --> 01:52:09.280
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of their GDP in terms

asr-001528
01:52:09.280 --> 01:52:10.900
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of their research and development

asr-001529
01:52:10.900 --> 01:52:13.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: spending and that of Singapore. So, our

asr-001530
01:52:13.380 --> 01:52:15.540
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: appeal also, Mr. Chair,

asr-001531
01:52:15.800 --> 01:52:17.140
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: is to have an increase

asr-001532
01:52:17.140 --> 01:52:19.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in terms of research allocation.

asr-001533
01:52:20.040 --> 01:52:20.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Next slide.

asr-001534
01:52:21.720 --> 01:52:23.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I think I'm on my 6 minutes

asr-001535
01:52:23.180 --> 01:52:24.640
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: already, Mr. Chair.

asr-001536
01:52:25.760 --> 01:52:27.080
Senator Joel Villanueva: You have enough time, sir.

asr-001538
01:52:29.160 --> 01:52:31.780
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, status of

asr-001539
01:52:31.780 --> 01:52:33.800
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: FHE deficiency. I think this

asr-001540
01:52:33.800 --> 01:52:35.760
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: was earlier presented by

asr-001541
01:52:35.760 --> 01:52:37.780
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Chair Shirley. Just

asr-001542
01:52:37.780 --> 01:52:39.540
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: to report lang po, of our

01:52:41.520 --> 01:52:43.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency for 4 years

asr-001545
01:52:43.560 --> 01:52:45.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: and just recently, it was reported

asr-001546

asr-001548
01:52:49.120 --> 01:52:51.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency. So, we have

asr-001549
01:52:51.820 --> 01:52:54.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: outstanding deficiency for 2025.

asr-001550
01:52:55.260 --> 01:52:55.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: As we have

asr-001551
01:52:55.940 --> 01:52:57.660
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: agreed last year, it is deficiency

asr-001552
01:52:57.660 --> 01:52:58.920
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: running from

01:52:59.160 --> 01:53:01.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 2022, 23, 24, 25.

asr-001554
01:53:01.760 --> 01:53:03.640
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: For 2025 po, still,

asr-001555
01:53:03.780 --> 01:53:05.720
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: there is a balance for the

asr-001556
01:53:05.720 --> 01:53:07.960
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: per semester of school year

asr-001557
01:53:07.960 --> 01:53:10.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: or academic year, 2025,

01:53:47.200 --> 01:53:49.780

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, sabi ko sa kanila, doon lang

asr-001584
01:54:01.340 --> 01:54:03.300
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: sa loob ng 12 billion, pwedeng

asr-001585
01:54:03.300 --> 01:54:05.260
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: maghugod. Outside that, hindi na po.

asr-001586
01:54:05.260 --> 01:54:06.700
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 12.3 po. 12.3 billion.

asr-001587
01:54:07.240 --> 01:54:09.320
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sigurado pa. Yeah, I can see

01:54:11.680 --> 01:54:13.200
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Next

asr-001590
01:54:13.200 --> 01:54:13.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: slide.

asr-001591
01:54:15.380 --> 01:54:17.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Just to account the running

asr-001592
01:54:17.220 --> 01:54:19.540
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency. For

asr-001593
01:54:19.540 --> 01:54:21.400
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 2025, that

asr-001594
01:54:21.400 --> 01:54:23.060
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: is what we are really

asr-001595
01:54:23.060 --> 01:54:25.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: pushing for. We have

asr-001596
01:54:25.560 --> 01:54:27.420
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: chargeable against

asr-001597
01:54:27.420 --> 01:54:28.880
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the current year's GAA.

asr-001598
01:54:29.160 --> 01:54:31.400
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 2.4 billion. But still,

asr-001599
01:54:31.400 --> 01:54:32.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: there is a remaining balance of

asr-001600
01:54:32.600 --> 01:54:37.140
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 506,753,000.

asr-001601
01:54:37.320 --> 01:54:39.480
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, that's 2.9 billion, all in all.

asr-001602
01:54:40.180 --> 01:54:41.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, by the time we speak,

asr-001603
01:54:41.700 --> 01:54:43.420
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Mr. Chair, we are very

asr-001604
01:54:43.420 --> 01:54:45.480
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: sorry to know that

asr-001605
01:54:45.480 --> 01:54:47.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for 2026,

asr-001606
01:54:47.520 --> 01:54:49.540
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this year, we have an estimated

asr-001607
01:54:49.540 --> 01:54:51.280
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency, or a running deficiency

asr-001608
01:54:51.280 --> 01:54:53.640
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of 2.048 billion.

asr-001609
01:54:54.840 --> 01:54:55.520
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And because

asr-001610
01:54:55.520 --> 01:54:57.520
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the NEP

asr-001611
01:54:57.520 --> 01:54:58.840
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: has released in

asr-001612
01:54:59.160 --> 01:55:01.300
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 2027, we have

asr-001613
01:55:01.300 --> 01:55:02.400
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: already computed

asr-001614
01:55:02.400 --> 01:55:05.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the estimated

asr-001615
01:55:05.100 --> 01:55:07.260
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency. There will be a

asr-001616
01:55:07.260 --> 01:55:08.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency again of

asr-001617
01:55:08.940 --> 01:55:11.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 2.7 billion.

asr-001618
01:55:11.840 --> 01:55:12.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, that is,

asr-001619
01:55:12.980 --> 01:55:15.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I think, if you will ask

asr-001620
01:55:15.180 --> 01:55:17.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUCs, that is our

asr-001621
01:55:17.100 --> 01:55:19.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: priority. We are also

asr-001622
01:55:19.100 --> 01:55:21.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: lamenting that if we really are

asr-001623
01:55:21.100 --> 01:55:23.140
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: saying that education is our

asr-001624
01:55:23.140 --> 01:55:25.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: priority, why in higher education

asr-001625
01:55:25.180 --> 01:55:27.340
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: there is deficiency? And I think

asr-001626
01:55:27.340 --> 01:55:29.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: something must be done.

asr-001627
01:55:29.160 --> 01:55:31.080
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Something must be corrected so

asr-001628
01:55:31.080 --> 01:55:32.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: that there will be no deficiency

asr-001629
01:55:32.820 --> 01:55:34.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: anymore year after year.

asr-001630
01:55:35.260 --> 01:55:37.040
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, for this case, we have

asr-001631
01:55:37.040 --> 01:55:38.880
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I think around 5 billion

asr-001632
01:55:38.880 --> 01:55:40.860
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for 2026 and

asr-001633
01:55:40.860 --> 01:55:41.700
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 2027.

asr-001634
01:55:42.980 --> 01:55:44.320
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: What is also

asr-001635
01:55:44.320 --> 01:55:49.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Yes, Madam Chair.

asr-001636
01:55:49.340 --> 01:55:50.200
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I think, Mr. Chair,

asr-001637
01:55:50.840 --> 01:55:53.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: my chair here is

asr-001638
01:55:53.220 --> 01:55:54.980
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: asking, bakit meron na uling

asr-001639
01:55:54.980 --> 01:55:57.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: running deficiency for 2027?

asr-001640
01:55:57.100 --> 01:55:59.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In the IRC,

asr-001641
01:55:59.160 --> 01:56:00.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: IRR of

asr-001642
01:56:00.100 --> 01:56:02.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Republic Act 10931,

asr-001643
01:56:02.640 --> 01:56:04.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the budget must be allocated

asr-001644
01:56:04.580 --> 01:56:06.860
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: depending on the

asr-001645
01:56:06.860 --> 01:56:08.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: projected enrollment. Again,

asr-001646
01:56:08.960 --> 01:56:10.880
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: that is the very cost of our

asr-001647
01:56:10.880 --> 01:56:13.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency. The way

asr-001648
01:56:13.180 --> 01:56:15.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: DBM is allocating

asr-001649
01:56:15.160 --> 01:56:16.840
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: us amount

asr-001650
01:56:16.840 --> 01:56:18.900
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: or allocation for FHE,

asr-001651
01:56:18.900 --> 01:56:20.720
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 3, it's not in accordance

asr-001652
01:56:20.720 --> 01:56:22.360
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: with our projected enrollment.

asr-001653
01:56:23.340 --> 01:56:24.680
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: You may ask,

asr-001654
01:56:24.880 --> 01:56:26.520
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: why? Let's say, for example,

asr-001655
01:56:27.300 --> 01:56:29.000
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in the current NEP,

asr-001656
01:56:29.160 --> 01:56:31.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: there are 46 SUCs

asr-001657
01:56:31.120 --> 01:56:33.260
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: whose allocation for FHE

asr-001658
01:56:33.260 --> 01:56:35.360
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for 2027 is simply

asr-001659
01:56:35.360 --> 01:56:36.920
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: exactly the same or copied

asr-001660
01:56:36.920 --> 01:56:38.920
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: that of the

asr-001661
01:56:38.920 --> 01:56:41.540
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: FHE allocation for 2026.

asr-001662
01:56:41.860 --> 01:56:43.300
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, for sure, there will be

asr-001663
01:56:43.300 --> 01:56:44.480
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency at that

asr-001664
01:56:44.480 --> 01:56:46.840
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: by the time we speak. So,

asr-001665
01:56:47.240 --> 01:56:49.080
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Mr. Chair, if your

asr-001666
01:56:49.080 --> 01:56:51.320
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: honors would help us

asr-001667
01:56:51.320 --> 01:56:53.360
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: get fund

asr-001668
01:56:53.360 --> 01:56:54.400
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for this deficiency

asr-001669
01:56:54.400 --> 01:56:57.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: so that, as we always

asr-001670
01:56:57.120 --> 01:56:59.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: say, we are

asr-001671
01:56:59.020 --> 01:57:00.620
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: giving TES for students

asr-001672
01:57:00.620 --> 01:57:02.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: so that they can be supported more

asr-001673
01:57:02.580 --> 01:57:04.240
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: on their

asr-001674
01:57:04.240 --> 01:57:06.900
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: transportation, boarding

asr-001675
01:57:06.900 --> 01:57:08.980
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: house, maybe food allowances,

asr-001676
01:57:09.260 --> 01:57:10.980
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: that they support our students individually

asr-001677
01:57:10.980 --> 01:57:12.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: and we recognize that. But with

asr-001678
01:57:12.940 --> 01:57:15.000
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this deficiency, we are shortchanging

asr-001679
01:57:15.000 --> 01:57:17.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: our students in terms of quality

asr-001680
01:57:17.100 --> 01:57:19.060
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of education when they

asr-001681
01:57:19.060 --> 01:57:21.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: are already inside the university.

asr-001682
01:57:21.840 --> 01:57:23.040
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, that is our

asr-001683
01:57:23.040 --> 01:57:24.540
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: plea, Mr. Chair.

asr-001684
01:57:25.280 --> 01:57:26.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Next slide.

asr-001685
01:57:27.340 --> 01:57:28.980
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, this is what we are

asr-001686
01:57:29.020 --> 01:57:30.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: sharing a while ago.

asr-001687
01:57:31.080 --> 01:57:32.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There is still uneven growth

asr-001688
01:57:32.740 --> 01:57:35.360
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: or in fiscal year 2027

asr-001689
01:57:35.360 --> 01:57:37.280
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: FHE. Ito po yung sinasabi ko

asr-001690
01:57:37.280 --> 01:57:37.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: kanina.

asr-001691
01:57:39.080 --> 01:57:41.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There are 46 SUCs

asr-001692
01:57:41.160 --> 01:57:43.320
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: without increase

asr-001693
01:57:43.320 --> 01:57:44.960
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in FHE allocation

asr-001694
01:57:44.960 --> 01:57:46.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of

asr-001695
01:57:46.740 --> 01:57:48.960
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 113 state universities.

asr-001696
01:57:49.560 --> 01:57:51.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, for sure, itong

asr-001697
01:57:51.160 --> 01:57:53.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 46 SUCs na ito, there will

asr-001698
01:57:53.220 --> 01:57:54.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: be deficiency because

asr-001699
01:57:54.820 --> 01:57:57.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: at least their enrollment

asr-001700
01:57:57.160 --> 01:57:58.860
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: will increase in 2027.

asr-001701
01:57:59.020 --> 01:58:01.300
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Kahit pa 1% or 2%,

asr-001702
01:58:01.300 --> 01:58:03.200
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: but whatever, there will be

asr-001703
01:58:03.200 --> 01:58:03.860
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency.

asr-001704
01:58:07.060 --> 01:58:08.780
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In the next slide,

asr-001705
01:58:10.660 --> 01:58:11.500
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I was

asr-001706
01:58:11.500 --> 01:58:12.900
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: sharing the

asr-001707
01:58:12.900 --> 01:58:14.920
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: impact of

asr-001708
01:58:14.920 --> 01:58:16.920
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the deficiency of 2.9

asr-001709
01:58:16.920 --> 01:58:17.280
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: billion.

asr-001710
01:58:19.780 --> 01:58:21.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I would like to

asr-001711
01:58:21.100 --> 01:58:23.140
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: simply illustrate what will be

asr-001712
01:58:23.140 --> 01:58:25.060
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: shortchanged, what our

asr-001713
01:58:25.060 --> 01:58:26.840
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: students will be shortchanged of.

asr-001714
01:58:26.840 --> 01:58:28.880
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Let's say, for example, for a 2.9

asr-001715
01:58:29.020 --> 01:58:31.260
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: billion deficiency, that is equivalent

asr-001716
01:58:31.260 --> 01:58:33.460
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: to 16,000 computers,

asr-001717
01:58:33.460 --> 01:58:35.520
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 400 classrooms will

asr-001718
01:58:35.520 --> 01:58:37.640
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: not be constructed, 1,000

asr-001719
01:58:37.640 --> 01:58:39.640
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: laboratory equipment or laboratory

asr-001720
01:58:39.640 --> 01:58:42.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: units, 2,000 engineering

asr-001721
01:58:42.100 --> 01:58:44.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: softwares, 50,000

asr-001722
01:58:44.100 --> 01:58:46.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: books, 1,000

asr-001723
01:58:46.180 --> 01:58:48.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: classroom, that is,

asr-001724
01:58:48.180 --> 01:58:50.060
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: smart campus kits or

asr-001725
01:58:50.060 --> 01:58:52.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: peripulance, and equivalent

asr-001726
01:58:52.380 --> 01:58:54.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: to 2,000, at least,

asr-001727
01:58:54.380 --> 01:58:56.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: research publication support,

asr-001728
01:58:56.740 --> 01:58:58.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: and around 500

asr-001729
01:58:59.020 --> 01:59:00.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: extension projects.

asr-001730
01:59:00.560 --> 01:59:02.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, this is the impact, a simple

asr-001731
01:59:02.560 --> 01:59:04.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: illustration of the impact of

asr-001732
01:59:04.560 --> 01:59:07.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 2.97 billion deficiency.

asr-001733
01:59:07.160 --> 01:59:09.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Meaning to say, for 2025,

asr-001734
01:59:09.160 --> 01:59:11.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: we have this deficiency, so

asr-001735
01:59:11.160 --> 01:59:13.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this is opportunities foregone already

asr-001736
01:59:13.160 --> 01:59:15.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for our students.

asr-001737
01:59:15.160 --> 01:59:17.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Opportunity lost for our students.

asr-001738
01:59:17.160 --> 01:59:19.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Yes, they received TES, but when they

asr-001739
01:59:19.160 --> 01:59:21.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: reach the university, looking like

asr-001740
01:59:21.160 --> 01:59:23.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: we are getting malnourished

asr-001741
01:59:23.160 --> 01:59:25.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: because we don't have this

asr-001742
01:59:25.160 --> 01:59:27.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: support for our institutions.

asr-001743
01:59:27.160 --> 01:59:28.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Thank you.

asr-001744
01:59:29.020 --> 01:59:31.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 10931 guarantees

asr-001745
01:59:31.020 --> 01:59:33.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: not only access,

asr-001746
01:59:33.020 --> 01:59:35.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: but institutional

asr-001747
01:59:35.020 --> 01:59:37.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: capacity, institutional

asr-001748
01:59:37.020 --> 01:59:39.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: empowerment. And I think

asr-001749
01:59:39.020 --> 01:59:41.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: if we will be avoiding

asr-001750
01:59:41.020 --> 01:59:43.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency in our

asr-001751
01:59:43.020 --> 01:59:45.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUCs, we will be guaranteed of

asr-001752
01:59:45.020 --> 01:59:47.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: quality tertiary

asr-001753
01:59:47.020 --> 01:59:49.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: education. In the next

asr-001754
01:59:49.020 --> 01:59:51.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: slide, Mr. Chair, I think this is the question

asr-001755
01:59:51.020 --> 01:59:53.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of Senator Bam a while ago. This

asr-001756
01:59:53.020 --> 01:59:55.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: is our illustration on the

asr-001757
01:59:55.020 --> 01:59:57.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: computed acceptance

asr-001758
01:59:57.020 --> 01:59:59.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: rate or admission rate.

asr-001759
01:59:59.020 --> 01:59:59.920
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Of the

asr-001760
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.

asr-001761
02:00:07.600 --> 02:00:12.500
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So that is the 38.46% admission rate, Mr. Chair.

asr-001762
02:00:12.940 --> 02:00:17.080
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So the message from this number is unmistakable, Mr. Chair.

asr-001763
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.

asr-001764
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.

asr-001765
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.

asr-001766
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.

asr-001767
02:00:50.080 --> 02:00:53.080
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Imagine the 12.3 billion, if that will be constructed.

asr-001768
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.

asr-001769
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.

asr-001770
02:01:09.460 --> 02:01:11.340
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We have now the 12325.

asr-001771
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.

asr-001772
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.

asr-001773
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.

asr-001774
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.

asr-001775
02:01:57.940 --> 02:01:58.660
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Why not address?

asr-001776
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?

asr-001777
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.

asr-001778
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.

asr-001779
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.

asr-001780
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.

asr-001781
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.

asr-001782
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.

asr-001783
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.

asr-001784
02:02:59.400 --> 02:03:02.080
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Ito po yung tinalakay natin kanina with Senator Bam.

asr-001785
02:03:02.840 --> 02:03:04.700
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, or the normative composite fee.

asr-001786
02:03:04.840 --> 02:03:06.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Tapos na po si UniFAST.

asr-001787
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.

asr-001788
02:03:11.680 --> 02:03:15.260
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And based on the result, this is the formula considered.

asr-001789
02:03:15.700 --> 02:03:19.960
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There were series of consultation among SUCs in different clusters.

asr-001790
02:03:19.960 --> 02:03:20.360
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Indicators.

asr-001791
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.

asr-001792
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.

asr-001793
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.

asr-001794
02:03:44.800 --> 02:03:49.200
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: It's not only cost of student tuition fee.

asr-001795
02:03:50.380 --> 02:03:54.460
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: The initial result is around 1,212 pesos per unit.

asr-001796
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.

asr-001797
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.

asr-001798
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.

asr-001799
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.

asr-001800
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.

asr-001801
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.

asr-001802
02:04:49.660 --> 02:04:50.300
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We propose.

asr-001803
02:04:50.380 --> 02:04:56.920
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 100 or 200 peso increase per unit.

asr-001804
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.

asr-001805
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.

asr-001806
02:05:18.280 --> 02:05:19.700
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And there are one.

asr-001807
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.

asr-001808
02:05:26.120 --> 02:05:28.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So for them, we propose an increase of 150 peso.

asr-001809
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.

asr-001810
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.

asr-001811
02:05:44.680 --> 02:05:49.680
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And for those SUCs collecting more than 300 to 500.

asr-001812
02:05:49.700 --> 02:05:53.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There must be a cap, no more than 500 peso.

asr-001813
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.

asr-001814
02:05:58.180 --> 02:06:00.340
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So this is calibrated increase, Mr. Chair.

asr-001815
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.

asr-001816
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.

asr-001817
02:06:16.520 --> 02:06:19.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But I think this is a little different from.

asr-001818
02:06:19.580 --> 02:06:21.200
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: From what is presented by Ched a while ago.

asr-001819
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.

asr-001820
02:06:28.120 --> 02:06:29.280
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We can agree.

asr-001821
02:06:29.460 --> 02:06:30.980
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We can agree on the trans.

asr-001822
02:06:31.920 --> 02:06:35.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So medyo, this is just an alternative proposal.

asr-001823
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.

asr-001824
02:06:43.480 --> 02:06:47.720
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But let's make it more scientific, more evidence-based.

asr-001825
02:06:47.720 --> 02:06:49.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Kasi itong amin pong ito, actually.

asr-001826
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.

asr-001827
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.

asr-001828
02:07:03.760 --> 02:07:05.760
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Ba't ang tanong, is that scientific?

asr-001829
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.

asr-001830
02:07:12.840 --> 02:07:17.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So that accounts to 13.37 billion, Mr. Chairman.

asr-001831
02:07:17.120 --> 02:07:18.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Next slide.

asr-001832
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.

asr-001833
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.

asr-001834
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.

asr-001835
02:07:46.200 --> 02:07:49.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: That is our very first priority.

asr-001836
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.

asr-001837
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.

asr-001838
02:08:12.040 --> 02:08:16.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Third, Mr. Chair, is to implement, seriously.

asr-001839
02:08:16.380 --> 02:08:17.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the

asr-001840
02:08:17.740 --> 02:08:20.680
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: article or the section

asr-001841
02:08:20.680 --> 02:08:22.760
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 54 of the implementing rules

asr-001842
02:08:22.760 --> 02:08:24.840
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of the IRR or the IRR

asr-001843
02:08:24.840 --> 02:08:26.840
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of the 10931, that is

asr-001844
02:08:26.840 --> 02:08:28.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: to implement the normative cost

asr-001845
02:08:28.740 --> 02:08:30.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: that is also our

asr-001846
02:08:30.560 --> 02:08:32.700
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: request. And fourth is

asr-001847
02:08:32.700 --> 02:08:34.800
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the consistent use of projected

asr-001848
02:08:34.800 --> 02:08:36.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: enrollment as a primary

asr-001849
02:08:36.600 --> 02:08:38.840
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: basis for FHE. What do we mean, Mr. Chair,

asr-001850
02:08:38.900 --> 02:08:39.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: by that request?

asr-001851
02:08:41.580 --> 02:08:42.620
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Consistent use

asr-001852
02:08:42.620 --> 02:08:44.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of the projected enrollment, that when

asr-001853
02:08:44.600 --> 02:08:46.760
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: budget will be allocated, it must be

asr-001854
02:08:46.760 --> 02:08:48.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: based on the projected enrollment.

asr-001855
02:08:49.440 --> 02:08:50.700
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Sana po, i-allow

asr-001856
02:08:50.700 --> 02:08:53.080
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: ang SUC na mag-project

asr-001857
02:08:53.080 --> 02:08:54.000
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: ng kanyang enrollment.

asr-001858
02:08:55.000 --> 02:08:56.440
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We do that always.

asr-001859
02:08:56.860 --> 02:08:58.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Every year, we are submitting to DBM

asr-001860
02:08:58.940 --> 02:09:00.500
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: our projected enrollment.

asr-001861
02:09:01.020 --> 02:09:02.620
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But DBM seemingly

asr-001862
02:09:02.620 --> 02:09:04.660
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: like having their own formula

asr-001863
02:09:04.660 --> 02:09:06.620
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in our last...

asr-001864
02:09:09.180 --> 02:09:12.660
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So that's what we

asr-001865
02:09:12.660 --> 02:09:14.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: would like to reconcile with DBM. Use the

asr-001866
02:09:14.580 --> 02:09:16.500
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: projected enrollment. They are always

asr-001867
02:09:16.500 --> 02:09:17.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: saying, ours is baseless.

asr-001868
02:09:18.940 --> 02:09:19.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But we

asr-001869
02:09:19.820 --> 02:09:22.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: don't agree. They are saying that

asr-001870
02:09:22.380 --> 02:09:24.440
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: they are the ones projecting because what we

asr-001871
02:09:24.440 --> 02:09:26.260
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: are saying, according to them,

asr-001872
02:09:26.640 --> 02:09:28.480
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: is without basis.

asr-001873
02:09:29.640 --> 02:09:30.400
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, we

asr-001874
02:09:30.400 --> 02:09:32.460
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: always base it again on

asr-001875
02:09:32.460 --> 02:09:34.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the number of faculty, the number

asr-001876
02:09:34.600 --> 02:09:36.400
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of classroom, even the number

asr-001877
02:09:36.400 --> 02:09:38.480
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of shifts of classes, and even

asr-001878
02:09:38.480 --> 02:09:40.680
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the modality, whether it is blended,

asr-001879
02:09:41.180 --> 02:09:42.340
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: face-to-face, or online.

asr-001880
02:09:42.920 --> 02:09:44.520
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So that must also be factored.

asr-001881
02:09:44.580 --> 02:09:46.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Let's not only count the physical

asr-001882
02:09:46.580 --> 02:09:48.500
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: seats. Let's also count

asr-001883
02:09:48.500 --> 02:09:50.540
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: even the digital seats. It must

asr-001884
02:09:50.540 --> 02:09:52.500
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: be included in the

asr-001885

02:09:54.680 --> 02:09:55.180
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: capacity.

PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And, Mr. Chair,

asr-001888
02:09:58.880 --> 02:10:00.640

asr-001889
02:10:00.640 --> 02:10:02.680
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUCs in strengthening funding

asr-001890
02:10:02.680 --> 02:10:04.000
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for research and innovation.

asr-001891
02:10:04.640 --> 02:10:06.620
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And finally, to provide SUCs with

asr-001892
02:10:06.620 --> 02:10:08.540
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: adequate resources to perform

asr-001893
02:10:08.540 --> 02:10:10.520
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the respective mandates, not simply

asr-001894
02:10:10.520 --> 02:10:12.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: to keep operating, but to educate,

asr-001895
02:10:12.600 --> 02:10:14.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: innovate, serve the communities,

asr-001896
02:10:14.580 --> 02:10:16.540
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: and contribute to national development.

asr-001897
02:10:17.520 --> 02:10:18.480
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Mr. Chair, I think

asr-001898
02:10:18.480 --> 02:10:19.620
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I still have one minute.

asr-001899
02:10:21.080 --> 02:10:21.680
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: This is...

asr-001900
02:10:21.680 --> 02:10:22.780
Senator Joel Villanueva: Actually, they have

asr-001901
02:10:22.780 --> 02:10:26.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: been pressing the plus 30

asr-001902
02:10:26.560 --> 02:10:28.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: for like 60 times already.

asr-001903
02:10:28.640 --> 02:10:30.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: I wonder who that is.

asr-001904
02:10:30.700 --> 02:10:32.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: And we will

asr-001905
02:10:32.140 --> 02:10:34.680
Senator Joel Villanueva: file a resolution to investigate

asr-001906
02:10:34.680 --> 02:10:35.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: in the Senate.

asr-001907
02:10:36.320 --> 02:10:37.680
Senator Joel Villanueva: Please continue, President.

asr-001908
02:10:38.100 --> 02:10:40.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: This is what we earnestly pray

asr-001909
02:10:40.580 --> 02:10:42.140
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: for, Mr. Chair, this slide,

asr-001910
02:10:42.400 --> 02:10:44.140
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this summary of our ask.

asr-001911
02:10:44.580 --> 02:10:46.020
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And I hope the good Chair,

asr-001912
02:10:46.120 --> 02:10:48.400
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: and I am very happy to present this

asr-001913
02:10:48.400 --> 02:10:49.840
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: always to our CST Chair,

asr-001914
02:10:50.240 --> 02:10:52.420
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: because we know that if we will

asr-001915
02:10:52.420 --> 02:10:54.300
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: not be able to provide these to our

asr-001916
02:10:54.300 --> 02:10:56.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUCs, this is actually

asr-001917
02:10:56.220 --> 02:10:58.300
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: a reduction

asr-001918
02:10:58.300 --> 02:11:00.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: of quality of education.

asr-001919
02:11:01.840 --> 02:11:02.580
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Nagkakaroon ako kasi

asr-001920
02:11:02.580 --> 02:11:04.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: ng notion. Diba, meron tayong sinasabi

asr-001921
02:11:04.820 --> 02:11:06.460
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: na sa ngayon, pinakamalaki

asr-001922
02:11:06.460 --> 02:11:08.440
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: ang budget sa education in history.

asr-001923
02:11:08.880 --> 02:11:10.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I think, what percent? Around

asr-001924
02:11:10.380 --> 02:11:11.760
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 4% of our GDP.

asr-001925
02:11:12.420 --> 02:11:14.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 5%. So, more or less,

asr-001926
02:11:14.580 --> 02:11:16.340
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: what I'm saying is, in this country,

asr-001927
02:11:16.440 --> 02:11:17.800
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: when we say education, it's the

asr-001928
02:11:17.800 --> 02:11:19.820
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: but

asr-001929
02:11:19.820 --> 02:11:22.340
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: are we allowing that there is

asr-001930
02:11:22.340 --> 02:11:24.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: deficiency? There is increase

asr-001931
02:11:24.220 --> 02:11:26.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in budget education, but why

asr-001932
02:11:26.220 --> 02:11:28.460
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: there is deficiency in the pre-higher

asr-001933
02:11:28.460 --> 02:11:30.060
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: education? So, I think the

asr-001934
02:11:30.060 --> 02:11:31.800
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: higher education is always

asr-001935
02:11:31.800 --> 02:11:34.400
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: short-changed, though there is an increase in budget.

asr-001936
02:11:34.500 --> 02:11:36.240
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, I think our students

asr-001937
02:11:36.240 --> 02:11:38.460
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in the SUCs don't deserve

asr-001938
02:11:38.460 --> 02:11:40.160
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: this decrease in

asr-001939
02:11:40.160 --> 02:11:42.240
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: funding for the pre-higher

asr-001940
02:11:42.240 --> 02:11:44.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: education. It's totally not

asr-001941
02:11:44.220 --> 02:11:44.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: free.

asr-001942
02:11:44.580 --> 02:11:46.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And I hope that

asr-001943
02:11:46.380 --> 02:11:48.360
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: the good chair will help

asr-001944
02:11:48.360 --> 02:11:50.480
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: SUCs in this respect. And of course,

asr-001945
02:11:50.700 --> 02:11:52.620
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: our second wish is the immediate

asr-001946
02:11:52.620 --> 02:11:54.720
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: implementation of the

asr-001947
02:11:54.720 --> 02:11:56.620
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: implementation of the

asr-001948
02:11:56.620 --> 02:11:57.840
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: UniFAST-determined normative cost. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

02:12:23.240 --> 02:12:23.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: One,

asr-001962
02:12:25.740 --> 02:12:26.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: let me

asr-001963
02:12:26.460 --> 02:12:28.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: point out my position here. I have

asr-001964
02:12:28.540 --> 02:12:30.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: been very supportive with the SUCs

asr-001965
02:12:30.580 --> 02:12:31.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: and CHED.

asr-001966
02:12:32.540 --> 02:12:34.680
Senator Joel Villanueva: You look at my record since I was a member

asr-001967
02:12:34.680 --> 02:12:36.500
Senator Joel Villanueva: of the House of Reps

asr-001968
02:12:36.500 --> 02:12:38.480
Senator Joel Villanueva: up to being a

asr-001969
02:12:38.480 --> 02:12:40.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: member of this institution

asr-001970
02:12:40.600 --> 02:12:42.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: in the Senate. I remember

asr-001971
02:12:42.740 --> 02:12:44.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: when I first chaired the

asr-001972
02:12:44.580 --> 02:12:46.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: Committee on Higher and Technical

asr-001973
02:12:46.380 --> 02:12:48.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: Education, we were able to

asr-001974
02:12:48.660 --> 02:12:50.800
Senator Joel Villanueva: focus on the Research and Development

asr-001975
02:12:50.800 --> 02:12:52.720

asr-001976
02:12:53.120 --> 02:12:54.500
Senator Joel Villanueva: hindi na nagamit yun. Nagkaroon ng

asr-001977
02:12:54.500 --> 02:12:55.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: pandemia sa COVID.

asr-001978

02:13:07.640 --> 02:13:08.620

02:14:46.420 --> 02:14:48.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: ng agencies of the government na

asr-002033
02:14:48.420 --> 02:14:50.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: pare-pareho na yung ginagawa at dapat

asr-002034
02:14:50.360 --> 02:14:51.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: tanggalin na.

asr-002035
02:14:52.800 --> 02:14:54.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: Those are the things that we wanted

asr-002036
02:14:54.520 --> 02:14:56.500
Senator Joel Villanueva: to look into to

asr-002037
02:14:56.500 --> 02:14:57.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: address these

asr-002038
02:14:57.520 --> 02:14:59.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: challenges.

asr-002039
02:15:00.000 --> 02:15:13.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: At the end of the day, despite the fact that I'm a believer and supportive of what you mentioned, Dr. Tirso, we still need to do a lot of balancing act.

asr-002040
02:15:13.720 --> 02:15:23.680
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi hindi rin po pwede talaga na, I was looking at data na 400-500% increase as much as we wanted to accommodate everyone.

asr-002041
02:15:23.680 --> 02:15:31.280
Senator Joel Villanueva: I've been in TESDA for quite a long time. I've been saying na hindi lahat kailangan magkulehyo, hindi lahat kailangan ganitong truck.

asr-002042
02:15:31.620 --> 02:15:36.920
Senator Joel Villanueva: Of course, when you talk about the normative cost, napakahalaga ho.

asr-002043
02:15:38.620 --> 02:15:45.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: God is my witness. I have been thinking about this for quite a long time. How do we really implement this?

asr-002044
02:15:45.980 --> 02:15:52.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: The 12 pesos, 500 pesos discrepancy, ang hirap talagang lunukin.

asr-002045
02:15:53.680 --> 02:15:59.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: Buti sana kung hindi ako chair ng higher and technical education, hindi ko na siguro masyadong poproblemahin.

asr-002046
02:15:59.340 --> 02:16:05.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: But this is one of the things I wanted to accomplish as part of my personal legacy here in the Senate.

asr-002047
02:16:06.360 --> 02:16:10.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: And I have been coordinating with EDCOM too and talking about it.

asr-002048
02:16:10.240 --> 02:16:15.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi hindi naman pwede yung 12 pesos versus 500 pesos and you expect the same kind of education, quality education.

asr-002049
02:16:16.120 --> 02:16:22.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: Hindi naman po pwede din sa geographic location. Hindi rin po pwede na pagpareuhin mo yung parehong may supply ng guru.

asr-002050
02:16:23.680 --> 02:16:32.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ng teacher. Hindi rin po pwede mong pagparehuhin or pagsamahin na kulang yung laboratory equipment nung isang eskwelahat.

asr-002051
02:16:32.940 --> 02:16:37.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: Lalong hindi mo pwede i-compare yung trade disciplines.

asr-002052
02:16:37.020 --> 02:16:40.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: So talagang dapat mapag-aralan mo mabuti ito.

asr-002053
02:16:40.240 --> 02:16:46.780
Senator Joel Villanueva: And I am with all of you. I agree with all of your statements a while ago. This is very important.

asr-002054
02:16:47.060 --> 02:16:50.920
Senator Joel Villanueva: And we must do something radical about this.

asr-002055
02:16:51.200 --> 02:16:53.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: And I believe we should be doing this.

asr-002056
02:16:53.680 --> 02:16:56.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: At least for the next year's budget.

asr-002057
02:16:56.600 --> 02:16:58.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: Baka hindi kasi natin mahabol ngayon.

asr-002058
02:16:58.740 --> 02:17:04.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: Or yung ilan po pwede natin mahabol where we can start doing it.

asr-002059
02:17:04.260 --> 02:17:05.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: We can do it right away.

asr-002060
02:17:05.540 --> 02:17:07.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pero yung siguro ngayon pa lang.

asr-002061
02:17:07.700 --> 02:17:09.080
Senator Joel Villanueva: For next year, lagyan natin.

asr-002062
02:17:09.300 --> 02:17:12.760
Senator Joel Villanueva: For example, this coming GAA, lagyan natin ng provision yun.

asr-002063
02:17:12.920 --> 02:17:13.760
Senator Joel Villanueva: Dr. Bert, di ba?

asr-002064
02:17:14.120 --> 02:17:16.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: Lagyan natin ng provision na for next year dapat ganito na.

asr-002065
02:17:17.020 --> 02:17:18.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ito na yung po pwede natin gawin.

asr-002066
02:17:18.980 --> 02:17:20.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: Meron time point system.

asr-002067
02:17:20.080 --> 02:17:21.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: That's what I'm looking at.

asr-002068
02:17:21.420 --> 02:17:23.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't want to mention.

asr-002069
02:17:23.940 --> 02:17:26.220
Senator Joel Villanueva: My official position.

asr-002070
02:17:26.400 --> 02:17:36.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because I'm always open to suggestions and ideas coming from our friends from SUCs, from CHED, and from EDCOM too, of course.

asr-002071
02:17:36.460 --> 02:17:39.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, pag-aralan po natin mabuti yun.

asr-002072
02:17:40.320 --> 02:17:48.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: And, siyempre, napakahalaga talaga na at the end of the day, masuportahan natin yung ating pang-SUCs.

asr-002073
02:17:49.140 --> 02:17:50.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, we can move forward.

asr-002074
02:17:50.620 --> 02:17:52.680
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, I can ask my questions.

asr-002075
02:17:52.680 --> 02:17:58.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Let's give the floor to our dear friend, Atty. Gigi Jimenez of UP.

asr-002217
02:22:41.200 --> 02:22:43.440
UP President Angelo A. Jimenez: to our GAA. That is why we are

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez: catching up as well just to maintain regular

asr-002219

02:30:14.460 --> 02:30:17.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: You're the only presenter na may 15 seconds pa.

asr-002427
02:30:20.680 --> 02:30:28.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: Hindi ko alam kung magiging plus funding kasi gusto kong imbisigahan kung yung 20% na sinasabi niyo sa UP, napupunta ba yun sa basketball team ng UP?

asr-002428
02:30:28.560 --> 02:30:32.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung UP. Kaya laging champion ng UP sa UAAP.

asr-002431
02:30:46.900 --> 02:30:58.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sir, may ano lang ako kasi when you were presenting kanina, dun sa resilient initiatives ng UP dito sa project,

asr-002432
02:30:58.560 --> 02:31:12.200
Senator Joel Villanueva: may we know if you're being consulted, for example, ang DPWH sa UP Urban Planning, naku-consult ho ba kayo?

asr-002433
02:31:12.300 --> 02:31:21.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: Nung isang araw ho, kasama namin yung, I think we were discussing the budget of DOST and I raised an issue with Pag-asa.

asr-002434
02:31:21.640 --> 02:31:27.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: And they were saying they can only, I don't want to...

asr-002435
02:31:28.560 --> 02:31:32.700
Senator Joel Villanueva: I want to make sure that I have the right exact words that they told me about.

asr-002436
02:31:33.300 --> 02:31:56.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: They can only predict, they can only forecast yung next three hours because there was a time na yung KAAP, yung KAAP po, ay nag-cancel ng flight two hours before the flight ng isang domestic flight going to Kawayan City

asr-002437
02:31:56.640 --> 02:31:57.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: on Wednesday.

asr-002438
02:31:58.560 --> 02:32:10.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: na yung mga kababayan ko sa Bulacan, bumiyahin ng alas dos, alas tres ng umaga, only to find out two hours before the flight na cancelled yung flight.

asr-002439
02:32:11.220 --> 02:32:12.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: That's a Wednesday.

asr-002440
02:32:12.800 --> 02:32:21.280
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thursday, bumiyahin ulit sila, the same day, the same flight, the same airline, and two hours again before the flight, sinabi, cancelled.

asr-002441
02:32:21.600 --> 02:32:28.280
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, you know, I'm thinking of, well, I have filed a bill here in the Senate for consumerism.

asr-002442
02:32:28.560 --> 02:32:42.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, you know, I have filed a bill here in the Senate for consumer protection, passenger protection bill, but I'm just curious kung kayo ba, nakakonsulto ba kayo ng mga government agencies natin?

asr-002443
02:32:42.140 --> 02:32:51.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because I would trust your programs more than, you know, for quite a long time, to be honest.

asr-002444
02:32:51.880 --> 02:32:56.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pag sinabi ng pag-asang malakas ang ulan, nakatirik yung araw.

asr-002445
02:32:56.480 --> 02:32:58.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, hindi ko mind.

asr-002446
02:32:58.560 --> 02:33:06.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pero, you know, ako personally, kasi binring up ko po ito sa floor, dito sa budget deliberation.

asr-002447
02:33:06.540 --> 02:33:26.200
Senator Joel Villanueva: I mean, how many times or how many of our kababayans would undergo this kind of suffering, terrible suffering na bumiyahin ka alas dos, alas tres ng umaga, mag-stay ka sa airport ng tatlo, apat na oras, only to find out na na-cancel yung flight, and then the next day, you do the same thing.

asr-002448
02:33:26.200 --> 02:33:27.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: Same exact thing.

asr-002449
02:33:27.640 --> 02:33:36.220
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, I'm just wondering, sir, no, and I hope kung kinukonsult kayo, bakit ganun? Kung hindi kayo kinukonsult, bakit kaya hindi?

asr-002450
02:33:36.620 --> 02:33:37.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: Anyway, sir, please, please.

UP President Angelo A. Jimenez: Mr. Chair, I brought with me three of the most in-demand professors of the university, Dr. Gap for Medicine, Dr. Del Mundo for Power, and the person, the demand of the hour, Mr. Disaster, Dr. Mahar Lagmay.

UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Ang tawag po.

02:33:57.640 --> 02:33:59.420
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Sir, sa akin, lahar magmay.

asr-002457
02:34:02.380 --> 02:34:15.640
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Anyway, yes, sir, nakukonsult po kami. In fact, for DPWH, even before nabigay sa amin yung aming SARO, January pa lang ay kinukonsultan na po kami ng DPWH.

asr-002458
02:34:16.520 --> 02:34:25.860
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: In fact, they have been giving us their designs for projects, thousands of them, na tinitignan namin kung okay o hindi.

asr-002459
02:34:25.860 --> 02:34:33.660
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: And tinitignan namin kung worth it yung ini-invest ng peso ng LGU or ng national government doon sa project.

asr-002460
02:34:34.540 --> 02:34:44.580
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: And this has happened only this year after there has been a lot of parang issues regarding the flood control.

asr-002461
02:34:46.440 --> 02:34:55.640
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Masama din po ang Congress and Senate na may mga pinatitignan din sa amin na yung mga design kukunin din namin from DPWH.

asr-002462
02:34:55.860 --> 02:35:00.220
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: And then, tinitignan namin if it's worth it or not.

asr-002463
02:35:01.080 --> 02:35:18.180
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Meron pong systematic na way to filter out yung mga okay o hindi. Parang scientific, methodical yung approach. Walang bias. Basta tinitignan namin ito yung methodology kung papasa o hindi.

asr-002464
02:35:18.180 --> 02:35:25.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sir, I know this is not the budget of DPWH. That's why I'm trying to get to another...

asr-002465
02:35:25.860 --> 02:35:37.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm hearing today and just before I ask you some questions, yung project NOAA for example, yung pag-asa, yung ka-app, are you being consulted?

asr-002466
02:35:37.460 --> 02:35:52.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi parang binigay sa akin na 3 hours daw talaga. Parang hindi ko matanggap eh. 3 hours talaga just for the airports and airline companies before they can actually cancel flights.

asr-002467
02:35:53.120 --> 02:35:55.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Hindi ko lang talaga... I'm not a technical person.

asr-002468
02:35:55.860 --> 02:36:01.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: Just to find out, yun po ba talaga? Hindi talaga mapipredict na...

asr-002469
02:36:03.660 --> 02:36:10.100
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Yung dati pong project NOAA, nakakapag-forecast po kami 4 hours in advance na 5 hours in advance.

asr-002470
02:36:10.100 --> 02:36:11.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi nga kanina nakakita ko 24 hours.

asr-002471
02:36:12.040 --> 02:36:15.860
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Tapos meron kaming impact-based forecasting system na...

asr-002472
02:36:15.860 --> 02:36:25.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, it adds salt to the wounds na ngayong araw pinaghintay ka, pinagbiyahi ka halos kalahating araw.

asr-002473
02:36:25.860 --> 02:36:27.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: Next, di gagawin ulit sa'yo.

asr-002474
02:36:28.140 --> 02:36:32.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: Parang saan yung katarungan doon? Parang lumusong pa ho sa bahayon.

asr-002475
02:36:33.100 --> 02:36:41.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: And you know, God knows, and in this particular room, how many times I raised the issue of flood control.

asr-002476
02:36:42.220 --> 02:36:46.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: How many times? Since 2020, the records will bail me out.

asr-002477
02:36:46.180 --> 02:36:50.440
Senator Joel Villanueva: Even the Bulacan flood control program, since time immemorial,

asr-002478
02:36:51.300 --> 02:36:55.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: inuupakan ko po yan, nandyan si President Chody ng Bulacan State University,

asr-002479
02:36:55.860 --> 02:37:02.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: hanggang ngayon, hanggang ngayon, hindi nila malaman kung anong gagawin.

asr-002480
02:37:02.040 --> 02:37:08.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: And I hope that you can help us with this program.

asr-002481
02:37:09.220 --> 02:37:19.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: You know, in so many years, since I became a member of Congress, I asked for an integrated flood control program.

asr-002482
02:37:19.640 --> 02:37:24.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: Wala po. And then, they were saying they needed a feasibility study.

asr-002483
02:37:24.660 --> 02:37:25.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: And during that time,

asr-002484
02:37:25.860 --> 02:37:28.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: they couldn't figure it out, what to do with it.

asr-002485
02:37:28.960 --> 02:37:30.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, walang funding.

asr-002486
02:37:30.900 --> 02:37:33.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: I was the one who funded the feasibility study.

asr-002487
02:37:33.640 --> 02:37:35.260
Senator Joel Villanueva: The year after, I followed it up.

asr-002488
02:37:35.600 --> 02:37:38.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sabi, hindi pa po tapos yung feasibility study.

asr-002489
02:37:38.220 --> 02:37:39.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: It's gonna take another year or so.

asr-002490
02:37:39.920 --> 02:37:41.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, two years, more than two years, I waited.

asr-002491
02:37:41.740 --> 02:37:48.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: When the feasibility study came out after two years, I asked again, after two years, hindi ini-implement.

asr-002492
02:37:48.600 --> 02:37:51.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: And then, few years later, I asked, why are you not implementing?

asr-002493
02:37:51.980 --> 02:37:52.760
Senator Joel Villanueva: Hindi na daw.

asr-002494
02:37:53.700 --> 02:37:55.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: Hindi na daw pwede yung feasibility study.

asr-002495
02:37:55.860 --> 02:37:56.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: Hindi na daw pwede yung feasibility study na yun.

asr-002496
02:37:56.480 --> 02:38:00.340
Senator Joel Villanueva: And then, came the flood control brouhaha.

asr-002497
02:38:01.220 --> 02:38:06.940
Senator Joel Villanueva: And God knows, until now, some people thought I have a case on this.

asr-002498
02:38:07.060 --> 02:38:08.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: Until now, wala ko akong case.

asr-002499
02:38:08.840 --> 02:38:10.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: May complaints, et cetera.

asr-002500
02:38:10.300 --> 02:38:11.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sinuturo na, kasama na ako ngayon.

asr-002501
02:38:13.200 --> 02:38:15.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: And I'm not scared to talk about this.

asr-002502
02:38:15.520 --> 02:38:18.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: And I'm always for justice.

asr-002503
02:38:18.120 --> 02:38:23.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Until now, gusto ko nga, e-firing squad lahat ng may kaso dito.

asr-002504
02:38:24.500 --> 02:38:25.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: Talagang mapapatunayan.

asr-002505
02:38:25.860 --> 02:38:32.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: Talagang partin itong scheme na ito, itong kalokohan na kabulastugan na ito na nangyari.

asr-002506
02:38:32.720 --> 02:38:35.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: Dahil, number one, na-apektohan yung aming probinsya sa Bulanin.

asr-002507
02:38:35.720 --> 02:38:40.340
Senator Joel Villanueva: And until now, sir, ayokot ang tawagin ng lahar magmay.

asr-002508
02:38:41.060 --> 02:38:45.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: But, until now, problemado yung probinsya namin.

asr-002509
02:38:46.440 --> 02:38:47.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: I feel bad.

asr-002510
02:38:47.780 --> 02:38:54.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: And this is personal for me because one of the reasons why I ran for Senate.

asr-002511
02:38:54.460 --> 02:39:00.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: And dahil matagal, for 20 plus years, wala kaming representative from Bulacan dito sa Senado.

asr-002512
02:39:00.480 --> 02:39:02.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ay dyan, exactly for that.

asr-002513
02:39:02.180 --> 02:39:03.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: For flood control programs.

asr-002514
02:39:04.100 --> 02:39:05.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: And until now, wala po.

asr-002515
02:39:05.640 --> 02:39:07.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: That's what I'm gonna do right now.

asr-002516
02:39:07.120 --> 02:39:08.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi wala na naman yan.

asr-002517
02:39:08.680 --> 02:39:09.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: Hindi na naman integrated dyan.

asr-002518
02:39:10.100 --> 02:39:13.220
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pag nagawa yung sa isang barangay, sa kabilang barangay, lilipat.

asr-002519
02:39:13.440 --> 02:39:16.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pag nagawa yung isang buong town, sa kabilang town, lilipat.

asr-002520
02:39:17.020 --> 02:39:22.220
Senator Joel Villanueva: And then, if probably we'll be able to address the problem of flooding in Bulacan,

asr-002521
02:39:22.220 --> 02:39:24.220
Senator Joel Villanueva: baka sa Pampanga lumipat o sa ibang...

asr-002522
02:39:24.460 --> 02:39:28.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, you know, I know this is not the budget of DPWH.

asr-002523
02:39:28.900 --> 02:39:31.200
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sir, siguro, I will just...

asr-002524
02:39:31.200 --> 02:39:35.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't wanna waste everyone's time here, but I will coordinate with you.

asr-002525
02:39:35.340 --> 02:39:38.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: And hopefully po, ang pakiusap ko po,

asr-002526
02:39:38.440 --> 02:39:42.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: ma-check niyo yung program ng flood control for Bulacan, please, especially.

asr-002527
02:39:43.420 --> 02:39:45.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: It's very personal to me, sir.

asr-002528
02:39:45.580 --> 02:39:46.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you. Please, please.

asr-002529
02:39:47.080 --> 02:39:50.460
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Yung tanong niyo po, sir, yung kung pwedeng mag-forecast, no?

asr-002530
02:39:50.680 --> 02:39:51.940
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: It was in the presentation.

asr-002531
02:39:51.940 --> 02:39:54.420
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: We have an impact-based forecast.

asr-002532
02:39:54.460 --> 02:39:57.400
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: It's a testing system that has worked, no?

asr-002533
02:39:57.480 --> 02:40:02.160
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: It has won the Innovation Award, awarded by USAID and the World Food Program.

asr-002534
02:40:02.540 --> 02:40:04.680
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: It has been around since two years ago.

asr-002535
02:40:05.420 --> 02:40:08.740
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: And it was able to predict, tino, hindi lang natin ginamit.

asr-002536
02:40:09.220 --> 02:40:10.060
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: But since then...

asr-002537
02:40:10.060 --> 02:40:11.200
Senator Joel Villanueva: Why can't we not using it, sir?

asr-002538
02:40:11.420 --> 02:40:12.480
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Sir, I don't know.

asr-002539
02:40:12.680 --> 02:40:15.020
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: But DepEd used it, no?

asr-002540
02:40:15.380 --> 02:40:17.760
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: DepEd used it nung dumating yung basyang.

asr-002541
02:40:18.280 --> 02:40:23.700
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: You can ask DepEd na meron silang forecast warning one day in advance.

asr-002542
02:40:23.700 --> 02:40:30.380
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: And they were able to prepare, minimal yung kanilang damages because they were able to respond.

asr-002543
02:40:30.580 --> 02:40:32.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ka-up, sir? Are you being consulted?

asr-002544
02:40:32.660 --> 02:40:33.200
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Hindi, sir.

asr-002545
02:40:33.520 --> 02:40:34.160
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Hindi, sir.

asr-002546
02:40:34.260 --> 02:40:42.960
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Although we work with them kasi bibigay sila ng license sa amin for us to train ng mga pilots for drone LIDARs,

asr-002547
02:40:43.040 --> 02:40:45.180
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: which we will use for flood mapping,

asr-002548
02:40:45.660 --> 02:40:52.700
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: and which we will distribute to the SUCs para mag-capacitate and co-create knowledge for the flood model.

asr-002549
02:40:52.700 --> 02:40:53.300
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: The flood model.

asr-002550
02:40:53.700 --> 02:40:56.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: May ignorance on this particular topic dun sa...

asr-002551
02:40:56.180 --> 02:40:59.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: I know this is not part of our discussion.

asr-002552
02:40:59.400 --> 02:41:09.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pero yung pag-forecast ng allowing the airplanes to depart or to arrive from the airport,

asr-002553
02:41:10.380 --> 02:41:12.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: hindi naman siguro three hours before lang.

asr-002554
02:41:13.160 --> 02:41:18.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yun lang ba talaga yung most that we can do to cancel flights?

asr-002555
02:41:18.280 --> 02:41:20.220
Senator Joel Villanueva: Just to cancel flights.

asr-002556
02:41:20.920 --> 02:41:22.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi talagang laging, for example,

asr-002557
02:41:22.600 --> 02:41:23.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang mga...

asr-002558
02:41:23.700 --> 02:41:25.480
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pal, Cebu Park, et cetera,

asr-002559
02:41:25.820 --> 02:41:27.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: ayaw mag-cancel ng flights yan.

asr-002560
02:41:27.280 --> 02:41:29.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: Talagang hanggang, hanggat maaari,

asr-002561
02:41:29.480 --> 02:41:32.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: i-risk lahat ng sasakay ng aeroplano.

asr-002562
02:41:32.700 --> 02:41:35.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pero ang problema, yung mga tao na naghihintay,

asr-002563
02:41:36.060 --> 02:41:37.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: hindi naman makatarungan.

asr-002564
02:41:38.340 --> 02:41:40.620
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Baka, sir, magandang may system, no?

asr-002565
02:41:41.580 --> 02:41:46.060
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Kasi as you get nearer to the time na kailangan naman mag-decide,

asr-002566
02:41:46.460 --> 02:41:48.560
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: mas gumaganda lang gumaganda yung forecast.

asr-002567
02:41:49.040 --> 02:41:52.040
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: So baka pwedeng may system na gawin.

asr-002568
02:41:52.040 --> 02:41:52.860
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: But, of course,

asr-002569
02:41:53.700 --> 02:41:54.880
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: ikaw ba araw pang gagawa?

asr-002570
02:41:54.880 --> 02:41:56.360
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: We're the university.

asr-002571
02:41:56.400 --> 02:41:58.760
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: So, ang official noon talagang pag-asa.

asr-002572
02:41:58.800 --> 02:42:00.680
UP Resilience Institute Executive Director Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay: Maybe we can make suggestions.

asr-002573
02:42:00.700 --> 02:42:01.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you, sir.

asr-002574
02:42:01.560 --> 02:42:03.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Just to make sure na pwede.

asr-002575
02:42:03.840 --> 02:42:06.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: Anyway, sa UPPGH, nandito din lang si Doc Gap.

asr-002576
02:42:07.840 --> 02:42:12.800
Senator Joel Villanueva: I-take ko na yung opportunity na maitanong itong Hospital Services Program, Doc.

asr-002577
02:42:12.820 --> 02:42:17.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung proposed budget is 7.291 billion,

asr-002578
02:42:17.920 --> 02:42:20.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: which is...

asr-002579
02:42:20.920 --> 02:42:21.800
Senator Joel Villanueva: Di ko na makikita.

asr-002580
02:42:21.820 --> 02:42:22.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Doc Gap.

asr-002581
02:42:22.820 --> 02:42:23.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Malabo na rin matako.

asr-002582
02:42:25.740 --> 02:42:32.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: 805.457 million or 9.9% lower than its 2026 level.

asr-002583
02:42:32.720 --> 02:42:43.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: Gusto ko lang mong malaman, Dok, yung PGH actual funding requirement to maintain its present level of hospital services,

asr-002584
02:42:43.520 --> 02:42:47.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: particularly for indigent and financially vulnerable patients.

asr-002585
02:42:47.440 --> 02:42:50.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Malaki ba ang epekto nito? Ano bang mangyayari po sa atin dito?

asr-002586
02:42:50.820 --> 02:43:11.000
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Ito pong more than 800 million deficit from our 2026 GAA and the proposed budget for 2027 in the NEP will involve 602 million pesos for medical assistance to patients or mga medical supplies.

asr-002587
02:43:11.900 --> 02:43:16.580
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Tumaas po kasing tubig at kuryente so makukulang po ng 104 million.

asr-002588
02:43:17.320 --> 02:43:19.920
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Our monthly electricity now.

asr-002589
02:43:20.820 --> 02:43:31.660
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Mr. Chair is 22 million because of the increase in the actual rate and the increase in the number of equipment that PGH has to serve its patients.

asr-002590
02:43:31.660 --> 02:43:44.020
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: And because these machines, this equipment require very sensitive maintenance and repairs, we will need additional 190 million to make them run efficiently for our patients.

asr-002591
02:43:44.580 --> 02:43:49.840
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: So as far as patient services is concerned, this is a combination of these three areas.

asr-002592
02:43:50.820 --> 02:43:57.140
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: If not properly funded, will really affect the way we serve our patients.

asr-002593
02:43:57.300 --> 02:44:09.880
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Of course, we're also asking for additional capital outlay to ensure that the goal to improve the accommodations of our patients and increase beds is also achieved.

asr-002594
02:44:09.880 --> 02:44:19.700

Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you.

02:45:31.540 --> 02:45:41.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: Let me try to start asking questions dun sa CHED budget.

asr-002611
02:45:41.560 --> 02:45:56.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Siguro, again, help me help the SUCs, the Commission so that we'll be able to present

02:45:56.820 --> 02:45:57.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: a

asr-002613
02:45:57.420 --> 02:46:01.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: compelling case here that we did need funding.

asr-002614
02:46:02.700 --> 02:46:06.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kanina, tinignan kong maigi yung utilization rate.

asr-002615
02:46:06.380 --> 02:46:13.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kanina, tinignan kong maigi itong obligation rate.

asr-002616
02:46:13.940 --> 02:46:16.340
Senator Joel Villanueva: 2025, 86.5%.

asr-002617
02:46:16.340 --> 02:46:19.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: 2026, 44.9%.

asr-002618
02:46:19.520 --> 02:46:26.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung disbursement rate ng 2025, 63.7%.

asr-002619
02:46:26.820 --> 02:46:38.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung 2026, 21.181 billion in release allotments remained unobligated.

asr-002620
02:46:38.700 --> 02:46:44.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: And 16.185 billion in appropriations remained unreleased.

asr-002621
02:46:44.760 --> 02:46:45.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: Is that the correct figure?

asr-002622
02:46:45.960 --> 02:46:51.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Just to make sure that I have the same figures para alam po natin.

asr-002623
02:46:51.540 --> 02:46:56.340
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because that's one thing, ma'am, for sure na some of our colleagues will ask.

asr-002624
02:46:56.820 --> 02:47:41.300
Senator Joel Villanueva: If we are, with regards to budget performance and institutional capacity, siguro important na makapagbigay tayo ng ranking, showing legal basis natin, requested amount, unique beneficiaries, utilization, and implementation readiness natin, ma'am, para mabigyan n'yo kami ng ammunition para ma-present po namin ito sa aming mga kasamahan dito sa Senado before we can finalize our committee report. Thank you. Ma'am, please. Sige po.

asr-002629
02:47:41.700 --> 02:47:44.080
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Thank you very much, Chair.

asr-002630
02:47:44.080 --> 02:47:55.860
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For the comparative budget utilization from 2024 and 2025, I would like to highlight here that the 2025,

asr-002631
02:47:55.860 --> 02:48:16.680
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: which we are terminating by 2026, these are continuing, these are continuing, to 2025 po, these are continuing to 2026, which should be fully liquidated at the end of 2026.

asr-002632
02:48:16.680 --> 02:48:24.220
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Tama po kayo na ang aming obligation is 97.9% na po.

asr-002633
02:48:24.640 --> 02:48:25.680
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pero ang disbursement,

asr-002634
02:48:25.860 --> 02:48:29.500
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: is only 83.7%.

asr-002635
02:48:29.500 --> 02:48:42.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Now, all papers are ready, but we are waiting for the September na po kasi dumating ang pera release.

asr-002636
02:48:42.620 --> 02:48:50.780
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, for 2026, let me highlight first na para naman may konting plus point kami.

asr-002637
02:48:50.780 --> 02:48:55.780
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ang DUR mid-year 2025.

asr-002638
02:48:55.860 --> 02:48:58.400
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: That was before us, was 35%.

asr-002639
02:48:58.400 --> 02:49:02.000
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: The same date as of June 30, 2026.

asr-002640
02:49:02.900 --> 02:49:12.200
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: There is now as the same period, this 2026, there is an increase of 5.28%.

asr-002641
02:49:12.200 --> 02:49:12.860
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Okay.

asr-002642
02:49:12.860 --> 02:49:25.860
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: If we go to the table now, to the actual consolidated status of budget utilization namin, as of June 30, 2026, our obligation is 40.20%.

asr-002643
02:49:25.860 --> 02:49:32.500
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: This is because our funding operates on a school year basis.

asr-002644
02:49:32.500 --> 02:49:39.200
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And the first semester starts August 2026.

asr-002645
02:49:40.340 --> 02:49:54.500
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Comparing the obligation versus disbursement, only 51.18% of the 40% obligation, it is because of the cash availability.

asr-002646
02:49:54.500 --> 02:49:54.860
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Okay.

asr-002647
02:49:54.860 --> 02:50:01.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, if we go to the table now, to the actual consolidated status of budget utilization, only 51.18% of the 40% obligation, it is because of the cash availability.

asr-002648
02:50:01.900 --> 02:50:09.340
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ma'am, okay na okay po ako, hindi niyo okay lang ang pag-depensa niyan dahil naniniwala po.

asr-002649
02:50:09.340 --> 02:50:13.340
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, just give us yung ammunition, yung documents about this, para makatulong po.

asr-002650
02:50:13.340 --> 02:50:15.340
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes, we will submit.

asr-002651
02:50:15.340 --> 02:50:19.340
Senator Joel Villanueva: Let me, before I continue, let me give the floor to our Senate President.

asr-002652
02:50:19.340 --> 02:50:21.340
Senator Joel Villanueva: Palakpa ka naman dyan para malaki tulong sa atin.

asr-002653
02:50:21.340 --> 02:50:23.340
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you.

asr-002654
02:50:23.340 --> 02:50:25.340
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sir Senate President, you have the floor.

asr-002655
02:50:25.340 --> 02:50:27.340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you.

asr-002656
02:50:27.340 --> 02:50:31.340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you at linalagay mo ako sa hot seat, Mr. Chairman.

asr-002657
02:50:31.340 --> 02:50:37.340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Maraming salamat po at I'm just reviewing some of the items in the budget.

asr-002658
02:50:37.340 --> 02:50:49.340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I'll start with itong increase sa PGH, UP PGH last year, kay Doc Legaspi.

asr-002659
02:50:49.340 --> 02:50:51.340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Last year, nagdagdag ang Senate ng 1.8 billion.

asr-002661
02:50:53.340 --> 02:50:55.340
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Yes.

asr-002662
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.

asr-002663
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,

asr-002664
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.

asr-002665
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.

asr-002667
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.

asr-002668
02:51:47.600 --> 02:51:50.340
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Ayun po.

asr-002669
02:51:50.340 --> 02:51:56.580
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: kakatanggap lang po namin ng pondo through the PISARO.

asr-002670
02:51:57.580 --> 02:51:59.520
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: So we just received it I think a month ago.

asr-002671
02:52:00.960 --> 02:52:04.800
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: But so far this morning of the 800 million po,

asr-002672
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.

asr-002673
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.

asr-002674
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.

asr-002675
02:52:24.400 --> 02:52:27.820
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Yung 1 billion naman po, na-ano na po,

asr-002676
02:52:29.040 --> 02:52:34.380
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: nabangga na po namin sa aming annual procurement plan.

asr-002677
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.

asr-002678
02:52:42.560 --> 02:52:46.960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Itong in-augment natin primarily went to MOE.

asr-002679
02:52:46.960 --> 02:52:51.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And also zero balance billing.

asr-002680
02:52:51.240 --> 02:52:52.420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Which is MOE rin yun?

asr-002681
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.

asr-002682
02:52:59.660 --> 02:53:01.720
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Ang MOE po kailangan namin i-bid.

asr-002683
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,

asr-002684
02:53:07.160 --> 02:53:11.120
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: or the other supplies needed for patients.

asr-002685
02:53:11.320 --> 02:53:14.220
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Yung zero balance billing po is paying for the service.

asr-002686
02:53:14.220 --> 02:53:16.820
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Kunwari po ay pinasiti-scan or MRI.

asr-002687
02:53:16.960 --> 02:53:17.960
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Or PET-CT scan.

asr-002688
02:53:18.540 --> 02:53:21.300
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Or may ginawa pong operasyon or procedure.

asr-002689
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.

asr-002690
02:53:27.360 --> 02:53:30.020
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Nasa MOE rin siya, diba? Yung zero balance billing?

asr-002691
02:53:30.020 --> 02:53:33.920
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Nandun rin po siya, pero may special po siyang kategorya.

asr-002692
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.

asr-002693
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...

asr-002694
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.

asr-002695
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?

asr-002696
02:54:10.540 --> 02:54:13.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Or ano bang experience ng PGH?

asr-002697
02:54:14.840 --> 02:54:16.780
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Katulad po ng sinabi ko nung kanina.

asr-002698
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.

asr-002699
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,

asr-002700
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.

asr-002701
02:54:45.560 --> 02:54:46.720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But how much, Dok?

asr-002702
02:54:46.960 --> 02:54:49.620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: For the zero balance billing.

asr-002703
02:54:49.960 --> 02:54:51.860
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: It's around 2 billion pesos a year po.

asr-002704
02:54:52.080 --> 02:54:53.640
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: 2 billion pesos a year.

asr-002705
02:54:53.660 --> 02:54:55.720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then of which, ang nabigay?

asr-002706
02:54:56.560 --> 02:54:59.060
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Last year po, nabigyan ng 1.3 billion.

asr-002707
02:54:59.180 --> 02:55:00.780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 1.3, so may balance sa 700.

asr-002708
02:55:00.780 --> 02:55:01.400
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Opo.

asr-002709
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.

asr-002710
02:55:13.300 --> 02:55:13.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Opo.

asr-002711
02:55:13.400 --> 02:55:15.080
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi yun ang...

asr-002712
02:55:15.080 --> 02:55:16.780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Of course, yun ang ating...

asr-002713
02:55:16.960 --> 02:55:20.620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: battle cry right now, yung zero balance billing.

asr-002714
02:55:21.000 --> 02:55:25.540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So yung mga constituents natin na pumupunta sa public hospitals,

asr-002715
02:55:26.260 --> 02:55:28.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: regardless of your income,

asr-002716
02:55:28.920 --> 02:55:32.260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: you can avail of the zero balance billing.

asr-002717
02:55:32.600 --> 02:55:36.620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So yun yung we're trying to protect that for 2027.

asr-002718
02:55:37.060 --> 02:55:39.660
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: If I may explain, Mr. Chair,

asr-002719
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.

asr-002720
02:55:46.080 --> 02:55:46.760
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: So,

asr-002721
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.

asr-002722
02:56:00.600 --> 02:56:04.500
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: So, meron pong mga programa tulad ng EMA-EFIP.

asr-002723
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,

asr-002724
02:56:12.840 --> 02:56:16.800
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: we can now see a path towards expanding zero balance.

asr-002725
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.

asr-002726
02:56:41.800 --> 02:56:44.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I think that's also,

asr-002727
02:56:44.200 --> 02:56:46.240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Right now, kasi kung nasa pay ward ka,

asr-002728
02:56:46.240 --> 02:56:48.000
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ang pumapasok is yung

asr-002729
02:56:48.000 --> 02:56:49.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: MAIP.

asr-002731
02:56:49.300 --> 02:56:51.800
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yung MAIP.

asr-002732
02:56:51.800 --> 02:56:55.180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yung medical assistance, MAIP, yun ang pumapasok.

asr-002733
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.

asr-002734
02:57:02.440 --> 02:57:02.640
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Correct.

asr-002735
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.

asr-002736
02:57:14.240 --> 02:57:14.700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Correct.

asr-002737
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.

asr-002738
02:57:27.740 --> 02:57:33.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Marami kasing cases sa mga government hospitals dahil sobrang puno.

asr-002739
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.

asr-002740
02:57:42.700 --> 02:57:44.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Nafaforce sila, napapwere sa sila.

asr-002741
02:57:44.700 --> 02:57:47.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sa pay wards.

asr-002742
02:57:47.260 --> 02:57:47.540
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Opo.

asr-002743
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.

asr-002744
02:57:53.540 --> 02:57:58.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So doon na pumapasok yung medical assistance or MAIP.

asr-002745
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.

asr-002746
02:58:12.220 --> 02:58:14.700
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: So mas na-review.

asr-002747
02:58:14.700 --> 02:58:23.240
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Para-rationalize po namin ang paggamit ng e-MAIP with the actual need, with the actual financial burden of the patient.

asr-002748
02:58:23.460 --> 02:58:32.080
PGH Director Dr. Gerardo D. Legaspi: Dahil nga social worker based pa rin yung pag-allot ng assistance sa mga private patient na alanganin naman pong magbayad din.

asr-002749
02:58:32.540 --> 02:58:43.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Well, binabalansi po namin dito nila Senator Joel yung MAIP, yung zero balance billing as well as yung PhilHealth subsidies.

asr-002750
02:58:43.400 --> 02:58:44.580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So all of this.

asr-002751
02:58:44.700 --> 02:58:47.860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi dumadating dito so we're balancing that eh no?

asr-002752
02:58:48.040 --> 02:58:48.680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Opo, yeah.

asr-002753
02:58:49.420 --> 02:59:03.220
Senator Joel Villanueva: I think Mr. Senate President, what mentioned a while ago by Dr. Gap, yung maapektuhan at least yung 600 million worth of medical supplies for our indigent patients.

asr-002754
02:59:03.600 --> 02:59:03.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: Di ba?

asr-002755
02:59:04.000 --> 02:59:10.260
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because of the slashing of this 9.9% decrease in the budget of PGH.

asr-002756
02:59:10.840 --> 02:59:11.940
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you.

asr-002757
02:59:11.940 --> 02:59:14.280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you for that, Mr. Chairman.

asr-002758
02:59:14.700 --> 02:59:18.580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'll jump to another question to Ched.

asr-002759
02:59:19.220 --> 02:59:26.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And this is in relation to yung free higher education deficiencies.

asr-002760
02:59:27.500 --> 02:59:31.080
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Na-fully settle na ba ito, Chairperson Shirley?

asr-002761
02:59:31.940 --> 02:59:38.600
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Last year kasi naglagay tayong ng 4.4 billion pesos.

asr-002762
02:59:38.600 --> 02:59:44.600
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then Ched naglagay ng 7.8 billion.

asr-002763
02:59:44.700 --> 02:59:56.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And moving forward, the formula na gagamitin ng SUCs are based on projections rather than actual.

asr-002764
02:59:56.560 --> 02:59:59.920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yung actual kasi creates a deficiency.

asr-002765
03:00:00.000 --> 03:00:18.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, two questions. Nabayaran na ba itong 12.3 billion na deficiency? And then, the next question is, are we already enforcing the new formula? Therefore, hindi na ho tayo magkakaroon ng deficiencies.

asr-002766
03:00:18.300 --> 03:00:48.280
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Thank you very much, sir.

asr-002767
03:00:48.300 --> 03:01:00.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: May check eh. Itong mga 20 ay may konting deficiency pa. So, if they can submit it next week, then we will finish the disbursement immediately.

asr-002768
03:01:02.260 --> 03:01:04.020
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For the second question.

asr-002769
03:01:05.020 --> 03:01:09.580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ma'am, first question lang is, so in other words, it's being processed now?

asr-002770
03:01:09.660 --> 03:01:11.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes po, it is being processed.

asr-002771
03:01:11.100 --> 03:01:18.280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then, eventually we will settle all the 12.3 billion.

asr-002772
03:01:18.300 --> 03:01:21.220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 9.7 billion pesos deficiency. Masasettle na natin yan.

asr-002773
03:01:21.420 --> 03:01:41.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: As of the recalculation po, 9.7 billion ang nirelease sa amin because we align our data, DBM, CHED, and based on the PASUC submission, nag-total lang po siya ng 9.7 billion pesos.

asr-002774
03:01:43.600 --> 03:01:45.960
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For the second question.

asr-002775
03:01:45.960 --> 03:01:47.960
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yan po yung pinagkakaroon.

asr-002776
03:01:48.300 --> 03:01:53.440
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Napakiusap namin ngayon. Tapos na po yung SGV report namin.

asr-002777
03:01:54.000 --> 03:01:57.420
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Nila, UNIFAS board already accepted it.

asr-002778
03:01:57.800 --> 03:01:59.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We already have the data.

asr-002779
03:01:59.940 --> 03:02:05.460
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: They calculated the cost of education per students per year.

asr-002780
03:02:06.300 --> 03:02:13.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And we tried to spread that into four tranches.

asr-002781
03:02:13.600 --> 03:02:16.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kung i-implement na, ready for implement.

asr-002782
03:02:16.260 --> 03:02:17.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: The question is fund.

asr-002783
03:02:18.300 --> 03:02:18.980
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Availability.

asr-002784
03:02:19.960 --> 03:02:22.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, medyo malaki po ang kailangan.

asr-002785
03:02:22.560 --> 03:02:28.080
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We can submit to you the cost requirement, the fund requirement per tranche.

asr-002786
03:02:28.540 --> 03:02:35.980
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kasi ang nakikita namin is if we expand into four tranches, that means four years, malaki po ang kailangan.

asr-002787
03:02:36.420 --> 03:02:37.720
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We can submit it to you.

asr-002788
03:02:37.780 --> 03:02:38.420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Can you show me?

asr-002789
03:02:39.440 --> 03:02:41.960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: What do you mean by four tranches?

asr-002790
03:02:41.960 --> 03:02:42.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Anong?

asr-002791
03:02:43.180 --> 03:02:46.960
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: If at one time, in order to harmonize now the...

asr-002792
03:02:48.300 --> 03:02:59.820
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Tuition fee of all 113 SUCs and LUCs, the cost per unit is P1,212 per unit.

asr-002793
03:03:04.180 --> 03:03:15.400
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Compared to the present per unit being collected by SUC, which ranges from P12 to P500.

asr-002794
03:03:18.300 --> 03:03:27.020
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Sa details po, about P108 collects P12 to P250.

asr-002795
03:03:27.780 --> 03:03:32.500
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And about the P6 or P7, about P250.

asr-002796
03:03:33.920 --> 03:03:38.380
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, we came up with different options, proposals.

asr-002797
03:03:39.420 --> 03:03:41.260
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Nag-compute din ang DBM.

asr-002798
03:03:41.260 --> 03:03:43.200
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kasi po, hindi po talaga kaya.

asr-002799
03:03:43.520 --> 03:03:48.260
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We are all aware of the limited fiscal space of the government.

asr-002800
03:03:48.300 --> 03:03:54.940
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, CHED has its own proposal in order to have a step gap.

asr-002801
03:03:55.500 --> 03:03:56.820
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: PASUC has its own.

asr-002802
03:03:57.360 --> 03:03:58.860
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: DBM has its own.

asr-002803
03:03:59.480 --> 03:04:01.560
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And SGV, we have four proposals.

asr-002804
03:04:03.680 --> 03:04:11.580
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Which we agreed a while ago that we will form a technical working group upon the proposal of Senator Bam with EDCOM.

asr-002805
03:04:13.480 --> 03:04:17.300
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: DBM and CHED and maybe representative from PASUC.

asr-002806
03:04:17.300 --> 03:04:17.920
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: PASUC.

asr-002807
03:04:18.300 --> 03:04:26.280
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We will come up with a win-win equation for the consideration of our Senate president.

asr-002808
03:04:27.420 --> 03:04:31.540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Gusto ko yan, win-win solution. Gusto natin yan.

asr-002809
03:04:31.540 --> 03:04:39.420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But what you're saying is, Chairperson Shirley, magiging uniform na at 1-2.

asr-002810
03:04:42.220 --> 03:04:47.240
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ang SGV formula, Sir SP, kung kaya natin,

asr-002811
03:04:47.240 --> 03:04:51.200
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 1,212 per unit.

asr-002812
03:04:51.460 --> 03:04:54.520
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kaya ang proposal, para hindi mabigat sa gobyerno,

asr-002813
03:04:54.660 --> 03:04:59.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: para scientific, with scientific basis na yung i-implement is,

asr-002814
03:05:00.300 --> 03:05:01.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: i-divide by four.

asr-002815
03:05:02.280 --> 03:05:04.000
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Tingnan mo, divide by four. Bilis.

asr-002816
03:05:05.260 --> 03:05:07.100
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: What do you mean divide by four? Meaning?

asr-002817
03:05:07.640 --> 03:05:09.160
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For tranches, for years.

asr-002818
03:05:09.160 --> 03:05:11.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pagka umapot ng 1,200?

asr-002819
03:05:12.980 --> 03:05:15.320
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Per unit, divided by four.

asr-002820
03:05:15.320 --> 03:05:17.100
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Buti na lang, wala na ako dito.

asr-002821
03:05:17.240 --> 03:05:19.680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pagkatong graduate na ako nun.

asr-002822
03:05:22.120 --> 03:05:26.920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But how much are we looking at at that time?

asr-002823
03:05:27.160 --> 03:05:37.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Obviously, pag 500, the requirement will be anything between twice to three times to four times.

asr-002824
03:05:37.620 --> 03:05:43.160
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For 2027, if we use the SGV, we need 67.8 billion.

asr-002825
03:05:43.160 --> 03:05:47.160
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For DBM, we need...

asr-002826
03:05:47.240 --> 03:05:52.040
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 43.7 billion for year, for year one.

asr-002827
03:05:52.040 --> 03:06:01.040
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Year to tumataas po, for 2028, 107 billion.

asr-002828
03:06:01.720 --> 03:06:04.520
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For 2029, 153.

asr-002829
03:06:04.760 --> 03:06:07.900
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For 2030, 205.4 billion.

asr-002830
03:06:08.540 --> 03:06:14.120
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So that's the, that should be the million, no?

asr-002831
03:06:14.360 --> 03:06:14.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Billion?

asr-002832
03:06:15.020 --> 03:06:15.900
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Sir, billion po.

asr-002833
03:06:15.940 --> 03:06:16.440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Billion?

asr-002834
03:06:16.440 --> 03:06:17.040
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Billion?

asr-002835
03:06:17.240 --> 03:06:18.240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Magkano yung present?

asr-002849
03:06:26.740 --> 03:06:33.240
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Current FHC, na walang adjustment, 27 point billion.

asr-002850
03:06:33.240 --> 03:06:44.240
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So if you, if we use the four tranches, if we implement the result of the SGV into four tranches, that means four years.

asr-002851
03:06:44.240 --> 03:06:46.240
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yung 2027.

asr-002852
03:06:46.240 --> 03:06:46.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 27.

asr-002853
03:06:46.740 --> 03:06:47.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 67.

asr-002854
03:06:47.740 --> 03:06:52.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 67 billion minus 27 yung current, we need 40 billion.

asr-002855
03:06:52.740 --> 03:06:53.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Okay.

asr-002856
03:06:53.740 --> 03:06:54.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: All right.

asr-002857
03:06:54.740 --> 03:07:02.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So from 27 billion, aakyat siya to 205 billion.

asr-002858
03:07:02.740 --> 03:07:04.240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ito na yung full.

asr-002859
03:07:04.240 --> 03:07:05.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes po, yung full.

asr-002860
03:07:05.740 --> 03:07:06.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Full amount.

asr-002861
03:07:06.740 --> 03:07:07.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For four years.

asr-002862
03:07:07.740 --> 03:07:08.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes po.

asr-002863
03:07:08.740 --> 03:07:11.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So almost times 10.

asr-002864
03:07:11.740 --> 03:07:14.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Almost times 10.

asr-002865
03:07:14.740 --> 03:07:15.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Okay.

asr-002866
03:07:15.740 --> 03:07:18.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Okay.

asr-002867
03:07:18.740 --> 03:07:24.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But since hindi pa natin ito in-implement, what formula are we using?

asr-002868
03:07:24.740 --> 03:07:35.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: The immediate remedy that we are proposing, of course, I can only speak of CHED now, is the, what we call it, leveling up.

asr-002869
03:07:35.740 --> 03:07:43.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Para po makapaglaba, makapag, so that the State University, those SUCs who collects,

asr-002870
03:07:43.740 --> 03:07:56.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: tuition fee from 12 pesos to 250, na 108 sila, kung pwede lang, iangat sila lahat hanggang 250 per unit.

asr-002871
03:07:56.740 --> 03:08:12.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yung mga nagkocollect ng 250 up, para hindi sila masyadong madihado naman, para may laban, kahit mataas na sila for how many years, tulad ni President Tirso, ay mabibigyan ng 20% increase.

asr-002872
03:08:12.740 --> 03:08:34.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So if we follow that, if we follow that po, the total projection fee collected, if we follow that proposal, ang kailangan, ang kailangan po natin for SUCs and LUKs is 14.6 billion lang.

asr-002873
03:08:34.740 --> 03:08:41.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: If you deduct the current na naiprogram na na 9 billion, we only need 5.5 billion.

asr-002874
03:08:41.740 --> 03:08:42.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Okay.

asr-002875
03:08:42.740 --> 03:08:53.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Magiging mag-benefit ang 108 SUCs who collects tuition fee from 12 pesos to 250 per unit.

asr-002876
03:08:53.740 --> 03:09:02.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And about 8, I'll give you, we can give you the right number, 8 SUCs who collects 250 and above.

asr-002877
03:09:02.740 --> 03:09:11.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That is actually changing the per unit cost.

asr-002878
03:09:11.740 --> 03:09:21.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But assuming it's still the same, but the formula we're using is projected number of students.

asr-002879
03:09:21.740 --> 03:09:23.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes, we have the projected number.

asr-002880
03:09:23.740 --> 03:09:24.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: I would like...

asr-002881
03:09:24.740 --> 03:09:26.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yan ang pinagamit natin moving forward.

asr-002882
03:09:26.740 --> 03:09:31.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So in other words, ang punta ko lang, Ma'am Shirley, hindi na tayo magkakaroon ng utang.

asr-002883
03:09:33.740 --> 03:09:36.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi na tayo magkakaroon ng deficiency.

asr-002884
03:09:36.740 --> 03:09:37.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Sir, hindi po.

asr-002885
03:09:37.740 --> 03:09:38.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ginagamit.

asr-002886
03:09:38.740 --> 03:09:39.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Sorry.

asr-002887
03:09:39.740 --> 03:09:40.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: I stand corrected.

asr-002888
03:09:40.740 --> 03:09:44.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Hindi pa ginagamit yung itong formula ito for projection.

asr-002889
03:09:44.740 --> 03:09:49.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ang goal lang namin sana is to elevate lang ng content.

asr-002890
03:09:49.740 --> 03:09:52.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And this only pertains to cost per unit.

asr-002891
03:09:52.740 --> 03:09:54.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yung miscellaneous ay iba pa.

asr-002892
03:09:54.740 --> 03:09:55.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Let it be that way.

asr-002893
03:09:55.740 --> 03:09:58.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Anyway, meron nang data ang SDV.

asr-002894
03:09:58.740 --> 03:10:05.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: By the time na ready ang government na i-implement, medyo okay na kasi marami nang nakaangat.

asr-002895
03:10:05.740 --> 03:10:08.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But assuming the same lang yung cost per unit.

asr-002896
03:10:08.740 --> 03:10:10.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: The same yung miscellaneous cost.

asr-002897
03:10:10.740 --> 03:10:14.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: What's different lang yung projected number of students, di ba?

asr-002898
03:10:15.740 --> 03:10:18.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi lumalaki yung number of students natin eh.

asr-002899
03:10:18.740 --> 03:10:20.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So with that, hindi na tayo...

asr-002900
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.

asr-002901
03:10:24.740 --> 03:10:28.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Assuming na projected na yung gamit natin.

asr-002902
03:10:28.740 --> 03:10:29.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Tama?

asr-002903
03:10:29.740 --> 03:10:33.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi we already settled yung 12 billion deficiency.

asr-002904
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.

asr-002905
03:10:37.740 --> 03:10:38.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Mr. Chair.

asr-002906
03:10:38.740 --> 03:10:40.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: At tagutin ko muna.

asr-002907
03:10:40.740 --> 03:10:41.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes, sir.

asr-002908
03:10:41.740 --> 03:10:43.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Nakikita ko po yung punto nyo.

asr-002909
03:10:43.740 --> 03:10:46.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: But to avoid the deficiency.

asr-002910
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.

asr-002911
03:10:57.740 --> 03:10:59.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kasi may mga...

asr-002912
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...

asr-002913
03:11:05.740 --> 03:11:06.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Hmm.

asr-002914
03:11:06.740 --> 03:11:09.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Students beyond their absorptive capacity.

asr-002915
03:11:09.740 --> 03:11:11.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So we have the data.

asr-002916
03:11:11.740 --> 03:11:15.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So kailangan kaya sabi kanina, pinag-usapan kanina.

asr-002917
03:11:15.740 --> 03:11:20.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yeah, 68% exceeded their estimated enrollment capacity.

asr-002918
03:11:20.740 --> 03:11:25.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 32% were within or below their estimated enrollment capacity.

asr-002919
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.

asr-002920
03:11:32.740 --> 03:11:33.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Oo.

asr-002921
03:11:33.740 --> 03:11:35.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ba't yung absorptive capacity niya?

asr-002922
03:11:35.740 --> 03:11:38.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi naman siya kasama doon...

asr-002923
03:11:38.740 --> 03:11:43.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Binibilang na rin natin siya sa kanyang reimbursements.

asr-002924
03:11:43.740 --> 03:11:44.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba?

asr-002925
03:11:44.740 --> 03:11:46.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So kasama na siya eh.

asr-002926
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.

asr-002927
03:11:52.740 --> 03:11:55.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So hindi na tayo magkaka-utang moving forward.

asr-002928
03:11:55.740 --> 03:11:57.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yun lang ang gusto ko malaman.

asr-002929
03:11:57.740 --> 03:11:58.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes.

asr-002930
03:11:58.740 --> 03:11:59.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes po.

asr-002931
03:11:59.740 --> 03:12:00.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Tama po.

asr-002932
03:12:00.740 --> 03:12:03.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Nag-accumulate yung utang eh.

asr-002933
03:12:03.740 --> 03:12:07.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: What we want is to stop the deficiency first.

asr-002934
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.

asr-002935
03:12:17.740 --> 03:12:20.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba? Yun ang next move natin.

asr-002936
03:12:20.740 --> 03:12:24.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi nga iba-ibang school, iba-iba ang cost. Diba?

asr-002937
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.

asr-002938
03:12:28.740 --> 03:12:32.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So pag-uusapan naman natin yan moving forward. No?

asr-002939
03:12:32.740 --> 03:12:33.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes.

asr-002940
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?

asr-002941
03:12:41.740 --> 03:12:42.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Tama po.

asr-002942
03:12:42.740 --> 03:12:43.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Okay. Alright.

asr-002943
03:12:43.740 --> 03:12:46.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yeah, that's what I want to cover.

asr-002944
03:12:46.740 --> 03:12:48.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Si Dr. Sorieta wants to…

asr-002945
03:12:48.740 --> 03:12:52.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Mr. Chair, to add some insight to the discussion.

asr-002946
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.

asr-002947
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.

asr-002948
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.

asr-002949
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.

asr-002950
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,

asr-002951
03:13:29.740 --> 03:13:33.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: kuneope lang po yung budget nila ng FHC ng 2026.

asr-002952
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,

asr-002953
03:13:37.740 --> 03:13:44.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: that the allocation must be determined by the projected enrollment.

asr-002954
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.

asr-002955
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.

asr-002956
03:13:56.740 --> 03:13:58.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Saan ba natin generally

asr-002957
03:13:58.740 --> 03:14:01.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: kukuhanin ang projected enrollment?

asr-002958
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.

asr-002959
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.

asr-002960
03:14:12.740 --> 03:14:16.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: It's not peg must be to the physical chairs.

asr-002961
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.

asr-002962
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.

asr-002963
03:14:27.740 --> 03:14:29.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Ang number of shifts, modality.

asr-002964
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.

asr-002965
03:14:35.740 --> 03:14:37.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Tanong po, Mr. Chair.

asr-002966
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

asr-002967
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.

asr-002968
03:14:51.740 --> 03:14:56.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, where shall we base our absorptive capacity?

asr-002969
03:14:56.740 --> 03:14:59.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: To our current limitation or to the demand?

asr-002970
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,

asr-002971
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.

asr-002972
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.

asr-002973
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,

asr-002974
03:15:25.800 --> 03:15:27.400
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: baka maging 600,000 sana.

asr-002975
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.

asr-002976
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.

asr-002977
03:15:40.600 --> 03:15:45.140
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I may endeavor to find more chairs next school year.

asr-002978
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.

asr-002979
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.

asr-002980
03:15:57.400 --> 03:16:00.100
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Because of the smart campuses that we have now,

asr-002981
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.

asr-002982
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.

asr-002983
03:16:08.420 --> 03:16:10.700
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: And I asked them, what is your number of students?

asr-002984
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

asr-002985
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.

asr-002986
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,

asr-002987
03:16:26.040 --> 03:16:27.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: they have 500,000.

asr-002988
03:16:27.400 --> 03:16:31.440
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, they are not only considering the number of seats.

asr-002989
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

asr-002990
03:16:37.120 --> 03:16:39.200
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: kung anong piniroject nating enrollment.

asr-002991
03:16:39.980 --> 03:16:42.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Siguro naman, walang magpuproject sa atin ng masyadong malaki

asr-002992
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.

asr-002993
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.

asr-002994
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.

asr-002995
03:16:56.360 --> 03:16:57.380
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Now, in actuality, I have 1,000 enrollees now.

asr-002996
03:16:57.400 --> 03:16:59.000
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In actual, I only have 1,040.

asr-002997
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.

asr-002998
03:17:06.580 --> 03:17:11.660
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There may be some differences in allocation or in projection.

asr-002999
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.

asr-003000
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%.

asr-003001
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,

asr-003002
03:17:24.000 --> 03:17:27.200
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: ng number of seats, number of teachers, number of shifts,

asr-003003
03:17:27.400 --> 03:17:29.900
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: so, I think, hindi mo na rin lalampasan dapat.

asr-003004
03:17:30.140 --> 03:17:31.620
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I think, we must agree on that.

asr-003005
03:17:32.360 --> 03:17:34.540
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Ang masakit, Mr. Chair, sinabi ko nga po kanina,

asr-003006
03:17:35.440 --> 03:17:39.620
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: 46 lang HUC ngayon, same lang ang allocation ng FHC.

asr-003007
03:17:39.880 --> 03:17:41.060
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, for sure, deficiency ngayon.

asr-003008
03:17:42.140 --> 03:17:45.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So, mukhang hindi natitigil, nakakaya namang sabihin,

asr-003009
03:17:45.260 --> 03:17:48.400
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: taon-taon na po, Mr. Chair, ang ating usapan, deficiency.

asr-003010
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,

asr-003011
03:17:52.320 --> 03:17:55.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: in our Constitution, I think, we must not allow deficiency.

asr-003012
03:17:55.740 --> 03:17:55.860
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Okay?

asr-003013
03:17:57.400 --> 03:17:58.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In higher education.

asr-003014
03:17:59.580 --> 03:18:01.720
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: That's our submission, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

asr-003015
03:18:02.920 --> 03:18:05.920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pero, di ba ang computation ngayon, based on projected?

asr-003016
03:18:06.700 --> 03:18:07.240
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Hindi po.

asr-003017
03:18:07.780 --> 03:18:08.420
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Hindi sinunod.

asr-003018
03:18:08.440 --> 03:18:12.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's in the special provision.

asr-003019
03:18:13.040 --> 03:18:13.260
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Di ba?

asr-003020
03:18:13.900 --> 03:18:15.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Tama po, pinalagyan natin yan.

asr-003021
03:18:15.080 --> 03:18:22.500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: For example, for your 2027 enrollment, projection nyo, yun ang pupunduhan.

asr-003022
03:18:23.080 --> 03:18:23.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Di ba?

asr-003023
03:18:23.480 --> 03:18:24.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's in the special provision.

asr-003024
03:18:24.840 --> 03:18:25.320
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Apo.

asr-003025
03:18:25.480 --> 03:18:26.160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kung di nga.

asr-003026
03:18:26.280 --> 03:18:26.760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kung di ma.

asr-003027
03:18:27.400 --> 03:18:29.720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Itong deficiency, hindi matatapos eh.

asr-003028
03:18:29.880 --> 03:18:30.280
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Tama po.

asr-003029
03:18:30.320 --> 03:18:31.860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, hindi ba ganun ang...

asr-003030
03:18:31.860 --> 03:18:32.660
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Hindi po.

asr-003031
03:18:32.740 --> 03:18:33.940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang part of the calculation?

asr-003032
03:18:34.140 --> 03:18:34.900
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Thank you.

asr-003033
03:18:37.400 --> 03:18:37.960
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yeah.

asr-003034
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.

asr-003035
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.

asr-003036
03:18:52.920 --> 03:18:55.040
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Number one is the student-faculty ratio.

asr-003037
03:18:55.240 --> 03:18:57.240
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Number two is the number of classes.

asr-003038
03:18:57.400 --> 03:19:01.000
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Classrooms, availability, and laboratory, and others po.

asr-003039
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.

asr-003040
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.

asr-003041
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.

asr-003042
03:19:37.320 --> 03:19:38.320
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Iba-iba po kasi.

asr-003043
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.

asr-003044
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,

asr-003045
03:19:57.400 --> 03:20:01.280
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: doon tayo ng deficiency ng 12 point something billion deficiency.

asr-003046
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.

asr-003047
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.

asr-003048
03:20:18.980 --> 03:20:21.460
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Kailangan na kasi ayusin yung formula.

asr-003049
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.

asr-003050
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.

asr-003051
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.

asr-003052
03:20:49.420 --> 03:20:50.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I…

asr-003053
03:20:51.400 --> 03:20:53.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Can you see the special provision?

asr-003054
03:20:53.360 --> 03:20:53.720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes, sir.

asr-003055
03:20:55.820 --> 03:20:57.020
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you.

asr-003056
03:20:57.400 --> 03:21:01.860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And the question of absorptive capacity, malaking debate yan.

asr-003057
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.

asr-003058
03:21:15.180 --> 03:21:17.080
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Like, I'm looking at some of the increases.

asr-003059
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%.

asr-003060
03:21:27.400 --> 03:21:30.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sa Caraga, 109%.

asr-003061
03:21:30.560 --> 03:21:33.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Western Visayas, 104%.

asr-003062
03:21:33.840 --> 03:21:36.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Of course, masaya tayo na may araming students nag-aaral.

asr-003063
03:21:37.460 --> 03:21:37.620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba?

asr-003064
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.

asr-003065
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.

asr-003066
03:21:57.400 --> 03:21:59.700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Or pure face-to-face classes.

asr-003067
03:21:59.900 --> 03:22:01.000
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'll leave that to you.

asr-003068
03:22:01.100 --> 03:22:05.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi malaking debate yan eh.

asr-003069
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.

asr-003070
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?

asr-003071
03:22:27.400 --> 03:22:28.960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I iiwang ko yan sa Ched.

asr-003072
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.

asr-003073
03:22:32.360 --> 03:22:34.500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi malaking debate yan.

asr-003074
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.

asr-003075
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.

asr-003076
03:22:49.700 --> 03:22:51.100
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I'll leave that to Ched.

asr-003077
03:22:51.520 --> 03:22:53.480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Because that's a policy issue.

asr-003078
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.

asr-003079
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.

asr-003080
03:23:06.520 --> 03:23:08.580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Nandito ba yung ano natin sa DBM?

asr-003081
03:23:10.860 --> 03:23:13.640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: This is the general provision, this one.

asr-003082
03:23:18.240 --> 03:23:19.500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Take the seat.

asr-003083
03:23:20.720 --> 03:23:21.760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Can you take the hot seat?

asr-003084
03:23:22.940 --> 03:23:26.040
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi mali yung ginagawa ninyo eh, DBM.

asr-003087
03:23:27.400 --> 03:23:31.960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi dito sa formula na gamit nyo is actual 2025 billing.

asr-003088
03:23:32.740 --> 03:23:45.700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But in the general provision, this is a special provision too.

asr-003089
03:23:46.220 --> 03:23:51.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In the special provision, shall be based on projected enrollment.

asr-003090
03:23:52.320 --> 03:23:57.140
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Very clear dito. Bakit ginagamit pa rin ay actual billing?

asr-003091
03:23:57.400 --> 03:24:01.600
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes, go ahead, ma'am.

asr-003092
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.

asr-003093
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.

asr-003094
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.

asr-003095
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.

asr-003096
03:24:22.960 --> 03:24:24.720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, capture na yun.

asr-003097
03:24:24.960 --> 03:24:25.340
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Opo.

asr-003098
03:24:25.340 --> 03:24:27.340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Three-year average increase.

asr-003099
03:24:27.400 --> 03:24:27.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Increase.

asr-003100
03:24:27.920 --> 03:24:29.080
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But this is in the past.

asr-003101
03:24:30.060 --> 03:24:30.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Oo.

asr-003102
03:24:30.900 --> 03:24:32.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba, in the past.

asr-003103
03:24:32.120 --> 03:24:32.620
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Yes po, average.

asr-003104
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.

asr-003105
03:24:38.840 --> 03:24:41.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba, iba naman yung historical, diba?

asr-003106
03:24:42.480 --> 03:24:44.000
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Iba naman yung moving forward.

asr-003107
03:24:44.660 --> 03:24:48.040
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Let's say, may nagpatayo siya ng bagong classroom, bagong building.

asr-003108
03:24:48.880 --> 03:24:50.900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Siyempre, hindi maka-capture yun ng historical.

asr-003109
03:24:51.460 --> 03:24:53.380
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Of non-admission of projection.

asr-003110
03:24:53.820 --> 03:24:55.020
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: We have no choice but to.

asr-003111
03:24:55.640 --> 03:24:56.500
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Yes po.

asr-003112
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.

asr-003113
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.

asr-003114
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.

asr-003115
03:25:17.380 --> 03:25:19.680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Itong ginagamit yung formula for this year.

asr-003116
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.

asr-003117
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.

asr-003118
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.

asr-003119
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.

asr-003120
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?

asr-003121
03:25:53.540 --> 03:25:54.140
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba po.

asr-003122
03:25:54.140 --> 03:25:55.940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi nga, we want to correct yung.

asr-003123
03:25:55.940 --> 03:25:58.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang deficiency, ano yung nagiging issue eh.

asr-003124
03:25:59.400 --> 03:25:59.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: No?

asr-003125
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.

asr-003126
03:26:01.980 --> 03:26:05.680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Umalik tayo sa dati, so ibig sabihin magkakautang ulit tayo.

asr-003127
03:26:05.920 --> 03:26:06.360
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Submission from CHED.

asr-003128
03:26:06.360 --> 03:26:07.220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi matatapos to.

asr-003129
03:26:07.280 --> 03:26:08.820
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: What we want is to finish this eh.

asr-003130
03:26:10.980 --> 03:26:11.680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes po.

asr-003131
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.

asr-003132
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.

asr-003133
03:26:23.520 --> 03:26:25.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: That's why moving forward.

asr-003134
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.

asr-003135
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.

asr-003136
03:26:45.440 --> 03:26:48.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Maybe hindi lang po resource person, baka pwedeng member.

asr-003137
03:26:52.660 --> 03:26:53.920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pinakamaganda dito.

asr-003138
03:26:53.920 --> 03:26:54.420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Um.

asr-003139
03:26:54.420 --> 03:26:57.240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang pag-usapan ng PASOP and CHED.

asr-003140
03:26:57.320 --> 03:26:57.840
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: How do you.

asr-003141
03:26:59.020 --> 03:26:59.360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi.

asr-003142
03:27:00.740 --> 03:27:04.980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang DBM naman, they look at the numbers eh.

asr-003143
03:27:05.600 --> 03:27:05.800
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: No?

asr-003144
03:27:05.880 --> 03:27:07.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And they follow the guidelines.

asr-003145
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.

asr-003146
03:27:13.120 --> 03:27:15.140
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi nila alam kung anong numbers ang titignan.

asr-003147
03:27:15.580 --> 03:27:18.980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, by default, tinignan nila yung dating numbers.

asr-003148
03:27:18.980 --> 03:27:19.180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: No?

asr-003149
03:27:19.500 --> 03:27:24.260
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But, let me just flag DBM.

asr-003150
03:27:24.420 --> 03:27:26.040
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Na projection ang gamit dito.

asr-003151
03:27:26.900 --> 03:27:27.100
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: No?

asr-003152
03:27:27.300 --> 03:27:27.780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Um.

asr-003153
03:27:27.840 --> 03:27:31.480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In the special provision number 4 for SUCs.

asr-003154
03:27:35.140 --> 03:27:35.700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Oo.

asr-003155
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.

asr-003156
03:27:44.560 --> 03:27:45.520
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yun ang susundan.

asr-003157
03:27:47.540 --> 03:27:48.500
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Mr. Chair.

asr-003158
03:27:48.720 --> 03:27:48.940
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Yeah.

asr-003159
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.

asr-003160
03:27:54.080 --> 03:27:54.240
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: The.

asr-003161
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.

asr-003162
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.

asr-003163
03:28:10.280 --> 03:28:13.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: It's not really projecting the future enrollment.

asr-003164
03:28:13.800 --> 03:28:14.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: There are many formulas.

asr-003165
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.

asr-003166
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.

asr-003167
03:28:22.340 --> 03:28:23.240
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: It's not too.

asr-003168
03:28:23.240 --> 03:28:24.340
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: It's not too difficult.

asr-003169
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.

asr-003170
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.

asr-003171
03:28:44.100 --> 03:28:46.740
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So that's that's really bugging us, Mr. Chair.

asr-003172
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.

asr-003174
03:28:57.400 --> 03:28:58.300
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So tama po kayo.

asr-003175
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.

asr-003176
03:29:05.140 --> 03:29:07.640
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: That's what we are always wondering about.

asr-003177
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.

asr-003178
03:29:16.540 --> 03:29:19.300
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: At yung aming PRA doon binabasin, ina-approve ni board.

asr-003179
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.

asr-003180
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.

asr-003181
03:29:30.480 --> 03:29:32.920
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So baka pwede itiwala na sa SUC ang pagpuproject?

asr-003182
03:29:33.340 --> 03:29:35.060
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Kasi hindi po kami pare-pare ng situation.

asr-003183
03:29:35.960 --> 03:29:38.540
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: May SUC na may maraming space.

asr-003184
03:29:39.400 --> 03:29:40.680
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Halimbawa, depende rin sa subject.

asr-003185
03:29:41.440 --> 03:29:43.200
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Pwede 1 is to 100 pa nga eh.

asr-003186
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.

asr-003187
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.

asr-003188
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.

asr-003189
03:29:56.980 --> 03:29:57.600
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Hindi sa classroom.

asr-003190
03:29:58.160 --> 03:29:59.780
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: But when I count the projected enrollment,

asr-003191
03:29:59.780 --> 03:29:59.880
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: I don't know.

asr-003192
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.

asr-003193
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.

asr-003194
03:30:16.360 --> 03:30:17.120
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

asr-003195
03:30:17.120 --> 03:30:22.040
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Mr. Chair, last two weeks, we have a consultation.

asr-003196
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.

asr-003197
03:30:38.420 --> 03:30:39.720
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: That was two weeks ago.

asr-003198
03:30:40.360 --> 03:30:46.020
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pero both Alko and Paso did not agree.

asr-003199
03:30:46.760 --> 03:30:48.000
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: You did not agree.

asr-003200
03:30:48.600 --> 03:30:50.000
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We agreed not to agree.

asr-003201
03:30:50.000 --> 03:30:51.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Agree.

asr-003202
03:30:52.040 --> 03:30:54.960
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And kaya po, masakit na talaga.

asr-003203
03:30:55.380 --> 03:31:01.000
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: But we are really becoming so tuliro na what to follow.

asr-003204
03:31:01.420 --> 03:31:05.420
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Totoo po na by law, yung projected enrollment ang kailangan.

asr-003205
03:31:06.160 --> 03:31:11.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: But no SUC should just freely project what they need.

asr-003206
03:31:11.660 --> 03:31:15.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: It should be guided by guidelines and a common equation.

asr-003207
03:31:15.740 --> 03:31:21.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Among the parameters that we propose in this is that the faculty-student ratio.

asr-003208
03:31:22.040 --> 03:31:26.960
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We have to agree if it is 1 is to 25 or 1 is to 40.

asr-003209
03:31:26.960 --> 03:31:32.220
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Another factor or variable that should be considered is the classroom size.

asr-003210
03:31:32.220 --> 03:31:34.840
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: The maximum 40 students.

asr-003211
03:31:34.840 --> 03:31:38.880
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Laboratory size maximum of 25 students.

asr-003212
03:31:38.880 --> 03:31:40.040
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ito po na i-present.

asr-003213
03:31:40.040 --> 03:31:41.800
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pero parang wala.

asr-003214
03:31:41.800 --> 03:31:43.920
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Walang magandang solusyon.

asr-003215
03:31:43.920 --> 03:31:47.380
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pero we take note of the recommendation of PasoCNOW.

asr-003216
03:31:47.380 --> 03:31:50.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Note that there are lectures that can

asr-003217
03:31:50.700 --> 03:31:53.900
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: accommodate to as many as 100

asr-003218
03:31:53.900 --> 03:31:55.280
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: just like in UPLB before.

asr-003219
03:31:55.280 --> 03:31:59.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: I attended the general subjects.

asr-003220
03:32:00.000 --> 03:32:03.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Nanandong kami sa auditorium mga 100 to 150 kami.

asr-003221
03:32:03.880 --> 03:32:04.780
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: That is possible.

asr-003222
03:32:05.480 --> 03:32:07.020
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So we will input that.

asr-003223
03:32:07.120 --> 03:32:10.200
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: I hope that after including that suggestion

asr-003224
03:32:10.200 --> 03:32:12.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: and we welcome large classes,

asr-003225
03:32:12.900 --> 03:32:16.040
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: after welcoming all those inputs, we are ready.

asr-003226
03:32:16.720 --> 03:32:18.460
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: This will be our material.

asr-003227
03:32:18.460 --> 03:32:22.380
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: This will be our material for the technical working group.

asr-003228
03:32:23.160 --> 03:32:26.360
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Para po next year, masolve na yung problema natin.

asr-003229
03:32:26.720 --> 03:32:29.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So ang tanong ko, for 2027,

asr-003230
03:32:30.120 --> 03:32:32.720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: based on your projections sa SUC,

asr-003231
03:32:32.820 --> 03:32:34.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: magkano ang magiging deficiency?

asr-003232
03:32:35.180 --> 03:32:36.480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'm sure may deficiency yan.

asr-003233
03:32:36.720 --> 03:32:38.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 100% ako may deficiency yan.

asr-003234
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.

asr-003235
03:32:41.680 --> 03:32:43.140
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: We have around 2.7 billion.

asr-003236
03:32:43.240 --> 03:32:44.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Timot, kakabayad lang natin.

asr-003237
03:32:44.980 --> 03:32:45.760
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Utang na naman.

asr-003238
03:32:45.920 --> 03:32:47.280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yun ang sinasabi ko eh.

asr-003239
03:32:48.160 --> 03:32:48.280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kakabayad.

asr-003240
03:32:48.460 --> 03:32:49.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kakabayad lang natin.

asr-003241
03:32:49.720 --> 03:32:50.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: May utang na naman.

asr-003242
03:32:51.160 --> 03:32:52.960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's what I'm trying to avoid eh.

asr-003243
03:32:53.060 --> 03:32:55.480
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Mr. Chair, ito pong 2026, meron pa rin po.

asr-003244
03:32:56.120 --> 03:32:57.020
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 2026, around 2 billion.

asr-003245
03:32:57.020 --> 03:32:58.560
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: So hindi tayo matatapos eh.

asr-003246
03:32:59.000 --> 03:33:00.180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi tayo matatapos.

asr-003247
03:33:00.700 --> 03:33:02.340
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's why kami nila, Sen. Joel,

asr-003248
03:33:02.540 --> 03:33:05.400
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: we included yung projection as a basis

asr-003249
03:33:05.400 --> 03:33:08.580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: so that hindi na tayo naghahabol ng naghahabol.

asr-003250
03:33:09.360 --> 03:33:12.320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And then the SUCs can function properly also.

asr-003251
03:33:12.320 --> 03:33:15.280
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi sa deficiency, hindi sila makakafunction talaga.

asr-003252
03:33:17.500 --> 03:33:18.320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So ganun.

asr-003253
03:33:18.460 --> 03:33:19.040
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ganito na lang.

asr-003254
03:33:21.040 --> 03:33:23.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Magkano ang magiging deficiency for next year?

asr-003255
03:33:23.940 --> 03:33:24.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 2.7 po.

asr-003256
03:33:25.300 --> 03:33:26.220
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Next year lang po yun.

asr-003257
03:33:26.440 --> 03:33:27.060
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: In this year?

asr-003258
03:33:27.600 --> 03:33:28.760
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: Around 2 billion po.

asr-003259
03:33:30.760 --> 03:33:32.500
PASUC President Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo: May 2.0 something.

asr-003260
03:33:34.980 --> 03:33:37.820
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So kagad, may utang na ng 4.7?

asr-003261
03:33:38.560 --> 03:33:39.440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kakabayad lang utang.

asr-003262
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.

asr-003263
03:33:44.780 --> 03:33:45.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ganito na lang.

asr-003264
03:33:46.980 --> 03:33:48.220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Chairperson, a groupies.

asr-003265
03:33:48.220 --> 03:33:52.600
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Why don't you sit with DBM and already settle this?

asr-003266
03:33:52.940 --> 03:33:54.020
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I know what you're saying eh.

asr-003267
03:33:54.080 --> 03:33:57.960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi naman pwedeng, ah bukas, we will grow by 10%.

asr-003268
03:33:57.960 --> 03:34:00.240
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Dagdag kami ng student ng 10%.

asr-003269
03:34:00.240 --> 03:34:03.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sisingilin namin si DBM ng additional 10%.

asr-003270
03:34:03.200 --> 03:34:04.380
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi naman pwede rin ganun.

asr-003271
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.

asr-003272
03:34:10.140 --> 03:34:14.000
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kahit walang classroom, kukuha kami ng 20,000 students.

asr-003273
03:34:14.420 --> 03:34:15.380
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Hindi naman pwedeng ganun.

asr-003274
03:34:16.320 --> 03:34:18.140
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So hindi pwedeng arbitrary.

asr-003275
03:34:18.220 --> 03:34:19.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I know what you're saying eh.

asr-003276
03:34:19.360 --> 03:34:21.360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But we will leave that to CHED.

asr-003277
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,

asr-003278
03:34:29.400 --> 03:34:30.980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: we will leave that to CHED.

asr-003279
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.

asr-003280
03:34:35.580 --> 03:34:37.360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yun ang concern namin eh.

asr-003281
03:34:37.940 --> 03:34:39.540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi or else it will never end.

asr-003282
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.

asr-003283
03:34:48.220 --> 03:34:51.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Lagay ho tayo ng 4 billion, may special provision.

asr-003284
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.

asr-003285
03:35:01.680 --> 03:35:02.700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And PASUC, of course.

asr-003286
03:35:02.860 --> 03:35:05.640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kayong tatlo na mag-usap-usap how to operationalize this.

asr-003287
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.

asr-003288
03:35:15.480 --> 03:35:16.800
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Thank you very much, sir.

asr-003289
03:35:16.980 --> 03:35:18.060
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: I just would like to...

asr-003290
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.

asr-003291
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.

asr-003292
03:35:40.540 --> 03:35:40.900
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Opo.

asr-003293
03:35:40.900 --> 03:35:47.900
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: After computation and alignment of data, DBM released 9.2.

asr-003294
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.

asr-003295
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.

asr-003296
03:36:05.040 --> 03:36:06.760
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Sana po hindi na sobrahan.

asr-003297
03:36:08.100 --> 03:36:09.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-003298
03:36:10.780 --> 03:36:15.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So just to reiterate, the time is of the essence.

asr-003299
03:36:15.560 --> 03:36:18.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So you have to meet with DBM.

asr-003300
03:36:18.220 --> 03:36:18.820
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes, po.

asr-003301
03:36:18.860 --> 03:36:21.460
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: On the projection, what is the formula of the projection?

asr-003302
03:36:22.720 --> 03:36:23.240
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes, po.

asr-003303
03:36:23.380 --> 03:36:25.840
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: With the EDCOM.

asr-003304
03:36:26.780 --> 03:36:29.620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So how do you determine that projection?

asr-003305
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.

asr-003306
03:36:35.500 --> 03:36:35.680
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Diba?

asr-003307
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.

asr-003308
03:36:43.900 --> 03:36:47.620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi mas mataas yung makukuhang free hire subsidy.

asr-003309
03:36:47.620 --> 03:36:47.740
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yeah.

asr-003310
03:36:48.220 --> 03:36:48.780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: For our education.

asr-003311
03:36:48.960 --> 03:36:50.040
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So hindi pwede rin ganon.

asr-003312
03:36:50.680 --> 03:36:51.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But we leave that to Ched.

asr-003313
03:36:51.940 --> 03:36:55.500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's a policy issue that Ched should address.

asr-003314
03:36:56.080 --> 03:36:56.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yeah.

asr-003315
03:36:56.880 --> 03:36:57.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Thank you.

asr-003316
03:36:57.540 --> 03:36:58.500
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Thank you, Sir SP.

asr-003317
03:36:59.220 --> 03:37:01.560
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Mr. Chair, Your Honor.

asr-003318
03:37:03.160 --> 03:37:05.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: Director Labastilla, you're...

asr-003319
03:37:06.240 --> 03:37:07.160
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Yes, what's the question?

asr-003320
03:37:07.160 --> 03:37:16.560
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: We would just like to respectfully reiterate po na in the absence po ng submission regarding the projected number of...

asr-003321
03:37:16.560 --> 03:37:18.060
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: We have no options.

asr-003322
03:37:18.220 --> 03:37:25.540
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: We have no option po ba to adopt this policy po, itong ating formula.

asr-003323
03:37:26.120 --> 03:37:35.600
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Pero we're really looking forward po to coordinating with you rin po kay Madam Chair, kay PASUC President din po.

asr-003324
03:37:36.080 --> 03:37:36.900
DBM Budget and Management Bureau-F Director Vivien V. Labastilla: Thank you po.

asr-003325
03:37:37.460 --> 03:37:37.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: Looks like...

asr-003326
03:37:40.900 --> 03:37:41.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't know.

asr-003327
03:37:41.520 --> 03:37:42.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: Parang may cup eh.

asr-003328
03:37:42.400 --> 03:37:42.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: Nangyayari.

asr-003329
03:37:42.900 --> 03:37:44.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: Parang may cup ka ngayon.

asr-003330
03:37:44.380 --> 03:37:44.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: Mm-hmm.

asr-003331
03:37:45.120 --> 03:37:46.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yes, Chairperson?

asr-003332
03:37:46.160 --> 03:37:46.960
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yeah, Mr. Chair.

asr-003333
03:37:46.960 --> 03:37:47.800
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: As I've mentioned,

asr-003334
03:37:47.800 --> 03:37:48.200
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: kunang...

asr-003335
03:37:48.200 --> 03:37:49.000
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: wala pa kayo,

asr-003336
03:37:49.400 --> 03:37:58.040
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: we have a 13-pages guidelines on the enrollment projection or absorptive capacity.

asr-003337
03:37:58.500 --> 03:38:00.960
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: If we can expedite, we are no longer...

asr-003338
03:38:00.960 --> 03:38:03.240
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: we will not starting from zero anymore.

asr-003339
03:38:03.900 --> 03:38:10.840
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: If PASUC and ALCU will come to a common agreement already,

asr-003340
03:38:10.840 --> 03:38:13.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: baka mahabol natin for 2027.

asr-003341
03:38:18.200 --> 03:38:35.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, yeah, we will create a task force into how we can address this very challenging issue.

asr-003342
03:38:35.380 --> 03:38:47.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: But at least for next year, if we can put up a provision in Daga'a para masiguro natin na hindi maulit yung ginakaharap natin yan.

asr-003343
03:38:48.200 --> 03:38:52.080
Senator Joel Villanueva: I will continue to give the floor to our SP, unless...

asr-003344
03:38:52.080 --> 03:38:53.200
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Mr. Chair?

asr-003345
03:38:53.200 --> 03:38:53.700
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yes?

asr-003346
03:38:53.700 --> 03:38:55.080
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pakisingit ng konti.

asr-003347
03:38:55.080 --> 03:38:55.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sure.

asr-003348
03:38:55.640 --> 03:38:57.440
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: I have a manifestation.

asr-003349
03:38:57.880 --> 03:39:01.540
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: This year, DBM released the ROS-2.

asr-003350
03:39:01.540 --> 03:39:02.560
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ROS-2?

asr-003351
03:39:02.560 --> 03:39:09.140
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For the plantilla position for research plantilla position.

asr-003352
03:39:09.520 --> 03:39:12.520
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And it is now being implemented.

asr-003353
03:39:12.520 --> 03:39:17.360
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: By law kung ang research center is created by law,

asr-003354
03:39:17.360 --> 03:39:17.560
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Okay.

asr-003355
03:39:17.560 --> 03:39:22.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: The university is entitled to a 25-plantilia position.

asr-003356
03:39:23.180 --> 03:39:31.300
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: If it is BOR approved, tatlong research center ay mabibigyan ng 25-plantilia position.

asr-003357
03:39:31.580 --> 03:39:32.400
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Tama po yun.

asr-003358
03:39:32.400 --> 03:39:40.200
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So lahat ng mga SUC ay nagkakaroon na as long as they have a verified research center.

asr-003359
03:39:40.200 --> 03:39:50.540
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Being the chair of CHED and oversee this 113 SUCs through our commissioners,

asr-003360
03:39:50.640 --> 03:40:00.240
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ang nakikita namin po kung walang funding ng research as a seed fund to run the research center,

asr-003361
03:40:00.360 --> 03:40:04.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: magiging white elephant ang research centers.

asr-003362
03:40:05.060 --> 03:40:07.860
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So may marami tayong white elephant clerk.

asr-003363
03:40:08.900 --> 03:40:10.080
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So kung possible lang,

asr-003364
03:40:10.200 --> 03:40:17.540
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: just like what Senator Wyn Gatchalian did in our National Bioenergy Research and Innovation Center,

asr-003365
03:40:17.540 --> 03:40:24.880
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: which is now a very progressive and dynamic research center for biofuel,

asr-003366
03:40:25.120 --> 03:40:29.040
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: we also developed the Professional Science Masters in Renewable Energy

asr-003367
03:40:29.040 --> 03:40:36.860
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: with that 5 million seed fund that Senator Wyn has inserted before.

asr-003368
03:40:37.360 --> 03:40:39.540
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So continuing po na may 5 million na nagpapaikot,

asr-003369
03:40:40.200 --> 03:40:44.140
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: to cover the MOOE and basic researches under the center.

asr-003370
03:40:44.780 --> 03:40:51.720
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So kung pwede po, na yung 113 SUCs ay mabigyan ng TIG for 5 million pesos lang

asr-003371
03:40:51.720 --> 03:40:56.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: to start to run their center just like we did in NBERIC.

asr-003372
03:40:56.740 --> 03:41:01.060
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: That will only require 565 million pesos.

asr-003373
03:41:10.200 --> 03:41:17.080
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So bahala na po yung SUC kung paano niya gagpapaikotin?

asr-003374
03:41:18.040 --> 03:41:19.060
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Prioritize niya.

asr-003375
03:41:19.460 --> 03:41:20.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: Opo, BA.

asr-003376
03:41:20.040 --> 03:41:28.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: Just to not belabor the issues we're all trying to, we're all cramming up with the time and all.

asr-003377
03:41:29.240 --> 03:41:33.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: Siguro yung isubmit nyo na lang sa amin ma'am yung request nyo.

asr-003378
03:41:34.140 --> 03:41:39.780
Senator Joel Villanueva: Tapos as mentioned already by Senator Bam, yung priorities siguro makita natin.

asr-003379
03:41:40.200 --> 03:41:49.680
Senator Joel Villanueva: Talagang, I will be giving you all false hopes para sabihin ko na we'll be able to get the 30 billion.

asr-003380
03:41:49.680 --> 03:41:58.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because I don't know where we're going to get the 30 billion unless our SP will contribute his personal and the BIRULAC.

asr-003381
03:41:59.180 --> 03:42:01.200
Senator Joel Villanueva: But there's no way.

asr-003382
03:42:01.360 --> 03:42:08.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: So we need to see your priorities on how we can for these particular issues.

asr-003383
03:42:08.320 --> 03:42:09.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi ang dami ho eh.

asr-003384
03:42:09.880 --> 03:42:10.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ako nga.

asr-003385
03:42:10.200 --> 03:42:16.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sa totoo lang, nako-confuse na ako which one's more important, etc.

asr-003386
03:42:17.280 --> 03:42:22.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: So we'll do that, Chairperson Shirley.

asr-003387
03:42:23.220 --> 03:42:25.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: Basta mapigyan nyo kami ng list.

asr-003388
03:42:25.860 --> 03:42:34.780
Senator Joel Villanueva: And then I will ask my colleagues also, especially the concerned offices here in the Senate.

asr-003389
03:42:36.480 --> 03:42:39.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: Marami kayong supporters dito.

asr-003390
03:42:39.100 --> 03:42:43.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: So yun yung positive na masasabi ko.

asr-003391
03:42:43.800 --> 03:42:44.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: But we'll do our best.

asr-003392
03:42:45.580 --> 03:42:48.920
Senator Joel Villanueva: I will still give the floor to our Senate President, SP Wynn.

asr-003393
03:42:49.760 --> 03:42:51.500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

asr-003394
03:42:52.200 --> 03:42:54.200
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Mr. Chairman, I'll jump to another topic.

asr-003395
03:42:54.400 --> 03:43:03.960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But we hope that CHED will coordinate with DBM on this matter so that we can already put this to rest.

asr-003396
03:43:04.280 --> 03:43:06.020
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi recurring issue siya eh.

asr-003397
03:43:06.980 --> 03:43:08.020
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Next will be...

asr-003398
03:43:09.100 --> 03:43:16.180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: On the topic of tertiary education subsidy and particularly for four-piece.

asr-003399
03:43:16.180 --> 03:43:20.300
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ito madalas rin natin pag-uusapan ito, Chair Shirley.

asr-003400
03:43:21.620 --> 03:43:27.900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But now we have a new law that amended the free higher education law.

asr-003401
03:43:28.460 --> 03:43:34.540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Particularly, this new law will focus on the poor, especially four-piece.

asr-003402
03:43:35.120 --> 03:43:39.080
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I just want to know, kasi tinitignan ko ngayon yung budget.

asr-003403
03:43:39.100 --> 03:43:45.580
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In the NEP, may 1.7 billion pesos for new four-piece.

asr-003404
03:43:46.440 --> 03:43:52.040
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And that will cover 150,000 beneficiaries.

asr-003405
03:43:57.120 --> 03:44:03.140
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang tanong natin is, paano yung mga new four-piece na papasok?

asr-003406
03:44:03.140 --> 03:44:06.140
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Because I understand itong...

asr-003407
03:44:06.940 --> 03:44:08.140
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Itong 2 billion...

asr-003408
03:44:09.100 --> 03:44:16.560
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Itong 2 billion is for the ongoing, mga naka-enroll na ito.

asr-003409
03:44:17.380 --> 03:44:22.220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So can you give us a rundown lang on the four-piece?

asr-003410
03:44:22.260 --> 03:44:23.440
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Just on the four-piece, na?

asr-003411
03:44:23.540 --> 03:44:25.600
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Tutukan lang natin yung four-piece beneficiaries.

asr-003412
03:44:25.880 --> 03:44:30.180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Because under the new law na pinirmahan natin, and you were there also,

asr-003413
03:44:30.320 --> 03:44:31.500
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: bibigyan na sila ng focus.

asr-003414
03:44:35.440 --> 03:44:38.580
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yung ongoing po is well-funded.

asr-003415
03:44:39.100 --> 03:44:40.420
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For 2026.

asr-003416
03:44:40.420 --> 03:44:58.420
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yung 2027, may funding, based on the DSWD list, we have 354,488 qualifiers.

asr-003417
03:45:00.000 --> 03:45:02.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: what is allotted in the NEP

asr-003418
03:45:02.120 --> 03:45:03.440
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: is

asr-003419
03:45:03.440 --> 03:45:12.420
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, based on

asr-003420
03:45:12.420 --> 03:45:13.980
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: our enrollment now

asr-003421
03:45:13.980 --> 03:45:16.400
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: and based on the feedback

asr-003422
03:45:16.400 --> 03:45:17.980
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: that we are getting

asr-003423
03:45:17.980 --> 03:45:20.380
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: as a result of our nationwide

asr-003424
03:45:20.380 --> 03:45:21.420
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: caravan

asr-003425
03:45:21.420 --> 03:45:22.520
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: and

asr-003426
03:45:22.520 --> 03:45:26.420
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: we projected

asr-003427
03:45:26.420 --> 03:45:28.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 65%

asr-003428
03:45:28.480 --> 03:45:30.600
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: of the 354

asr-003429
03:45:30.600 --> 03:45:31.780
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: totaling to

asr-003430
03:45:31.780 --> 03:45:34.380
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 230,417

asr-003431
03:45:35.440 --> 03:45:38.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: beneficiaries.

asr-003432
03:45:40.040 --> 03:45:40.580
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, we

asr-003433
03:45:40.580 --> 03:45:44.580
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ...

asr-003434
03:45:44.580 --> 03:45:46.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We need 3.1

asr-003435
03:45:46.700 --> 03:45:48.560
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: billion to finance

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: this 230,000

asr-003437
03:45:50.980 --> 03:45:52.080
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: students.

asr-003438
03:45:52.980 --> 03:45:53.920
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Bakit, Pamela?

asr-003439
03:45:54.680 --> 03:45:55.520
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Nasaan yung 40?

asr-003440
03:45:55.520 --> 03:45:57.860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, in other words, in 2026

03:45:57.860 --> 03:45:58.420
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: natin,

asr-003445
03:46:04.380 --> 03:46:06.480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: beneficiaries.

asr-003446
03:46:08.420 --> 03:46:10.880
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang magiging problema natin

asr-003447
03:46:10.880 --> 03:46:12.540
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: is yung papasok na

asr-003448
03:46:12.540 --> 03:46:13.960
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 230,000.

asr-003449
03:46:14.700 --> 03:46:16.540
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Meron pang dagdag ang problema

asr-003450
03:46:16.540 --> 03:46:17.220
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: natin

asr-003451
03:46:17.220 --> 03:46:20.620
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: yung funding requirements

asr-003452
03:46:20.620 --> 03:46:21.960
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ng PNSL.

asr-003453
03:46:23.580 --> 03:46:25.740
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pero wala na kasi sa law.

asr-003454
03:46:25.900 --> 03:46:26.780
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, okay lang po.

asr-003455
03:46:26.780 --> 03:46:27.780
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pero doon,

asr-003456
03:46:28.480 --> 03:46:30.880
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: are those enrollees

asr-003457
03:46:30.880 --> 03:46:32.880
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: in the private university

asr-003458
03:46:32.880 --> 03:46:34.160
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: na wala kasi sa law?

asr-003471
03:46:54.520 --> 03:46:56.220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But ngayon, priority na natin yung

asr-003472
03:46:56.220 --> 03:46:57.160
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 4Ps.

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: our projected calculation

03:47:15.200 --> 03:47:19.620
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 29 billion pesos.

03:47:20.160 --> 03:47:21.180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: For 4Ps.

03:47:21.240 --> 03:47:21.980
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: For Yuwakte.

asr-003490
03:47:35.000 --> 03:47:38.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: para po to limit the projection

asr-003491
03:47:38.700 --> 03:47:40.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: with DSWD.

asr-003492
03:47:40.700 --> 03:47:41.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And, of course,

asr-003493
03:47:41.700 --> 03:47:43.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: nandun ba si DBM noon?

asr-003494
03:47:43.700 --> 03:47:45.000

03:55:47.960 --> 03:55:49.620

asr-003753
03:56:06.220 --> 03:56:07.860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: It was given by

asr-003754
03:56:07.860 --> 03:56:09.360

03:56:20.920 --> 03:56:21.940
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: PAPI for short.

asr-003760
03:56:22.280 --> 03:56:24.360
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yan po ang inherited problem.

asr-003761
03:56:25.140 --> 03:56:26.320
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But is this a validated

asr-003762
03:56:26.320 --> 03:56:26.700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: amount?

asr-003763
03:56:29.040 --> 03:56:30.220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: We cannot

asr-003764
03:56:30.220 --> 03:56:31.940
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: validate this because

asr-003765
03:56:31.940 --> 03:56:32.760
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: there are

asr-003766
03:56:32.760 --> 03:56:36.020
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: may we

asr-003767
03:56:36.020 --> 03:56:38.500
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: just submit the reason po.

asr-003768
03:56:38.580 --> 03:56:38.780
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Oo.

asr-003769
03:56:39.280 --> 03:56:42.220
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'm just saying they sent us

asr-003770
03:56:42.220 --> 03:56:42.700
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: a letter.

asr-003771
03:56:43.640 --> 03:56:45.600
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Nangong-electa sila sa gobyerno.

asr-003772
03:56:45.720 --> 03:56:47.480
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I'm not very sure

asr-003773
03:56:47.480 --> 03:56:48.860
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: if

asr-003774
03:56:48.860 --> 03:56:52.720
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: their claim

asr-003775
03:56:52.720 --> 03:56:54.060
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: is validated.

asr-003776
03:56:54.700 --> 03:56:55.460
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ganito po kasi.

asr-003777
03:56:55.980 --> 03:56:57.260
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: In 2024,

asr-003778
03:56:57.700 --> 03:56:59.840
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 2025, and even before

asr-003779
03:56:59.840 --> 03:57:01.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: that, the policy for

asr-003780
03:57:01.700 --> 03:57:03.840
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: PNSL, which is the

asr-003781
03:57:03.840 --> 03:57:06.240
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: enrollees na nag-enroll

asr-003782
03:57:06.240 --> 03:57:07.680
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: sa location na walang

asr-003783
03:57:07.680 --> 03:57:08.900
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: state university.

asr-003784
03:57:09.600 --> 03:57:11.340
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ang policy noon is that

asr-003785
03:57:11.340 --> 03:57:13.440
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: they can only be allotted.

asr-003786
03:57:13.440 --> 03:57:14.040
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Correct?

asr-003787
03:57:14.680 --> 03:57:15.040
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: If

asr-003788
03:57:15.040 --> 03:57:17.760
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: they belong to 4Ps, that's

asr-003789
03:57:17.760 --> 03:57:19.680
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: number one. And the budget

asr-003790
03:57:19.680 --> 03:57:21.860
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: allotted to them is

asr-003791
03:57:21.860 --> 03:57:24.000
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: subject to

asr-003792
03:57:24.000 --> 03:57:26.060
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: the residual funding

asr-003793
03:57:26.060 --> 03:57:28.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: after prioritizing those

asr-003794
03:57:28.100 --> 03:57:30.000
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: qualified and lured in

asr-003795
03:57:30.000 --> 03:57:32.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: SU. Ang nangyari po

asr-003796
03:57:32.100 --> 03:57:34.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ay parang

asr-003797
03:57:34.120 --> 03:57:35.300
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: kesera-sera.

asr-003798
03:57:35.740 --> 03:57:38.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So there was no policy or guidelines

asr-003799
03:57:38.100 --> 03:57:40.400
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: na kahit

asr-003800
03:57:40.400 --> 03:57:41.940
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: mayaman siya

asr-003801
03:57:41.940 --> 03:57:43.860
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: at ang reason niya is

asr-003802
03:57:43.860 --> 03:57:44.660
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: wala kasing

asr-003803
03:57:45.040 --> 03:57:48.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: state university within, nagcha-charge na sila.

asr-003804
03:57:48.100 --> 03:57:51.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So kung i-validate namin po lahat yan,

asr-003805
03:57:51.100 --> 03:57:53.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ang ginagawa na lang namin is

asr-003806
03:57:53.100 --> 03:57:54.200
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: nagva-validate.

asr-003807
03:57:54.200 --> 03:57:57.300
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: But we are going back to this.

asr-003808
03:57:57.300 --> 03:57:58.400
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So ang isang

asr-003809
03:57:58.400 --> 03:58:00.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: solusyon na ginawa namin is

asr-003810
03:58:00.700 --> 03:58:01.900
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: we made a policy.

asr-003811
03:58:01.900 --> 03:58:05.200
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We crafted a policy that there should be

asr-003812
03:58:05.200 --> 03:58:07.100
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: a definition of

asr-003813
03:58:08.800 --> 03:58:10.900
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: a private university qualified

asr-003814
03:58:10.900 --> 03:58:12.500
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: for PNSL.

asr-003815
03:58:12.500 --> 03:58:14.880
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: I validated [unclear].

asr-003822
03:58:14.880 --> 03:58:37.720
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: May private university kasi, sasakay ka lang ng tricycle, may state university. So kasama yun sa radius, ng kilometer radius, kung gaano kalayo ang private university to be qualified for the PNSL. Meron na po kami yung policy nun.

asr-003823
03:58:38.280 --> 03:58:43.640
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Well, pinadala kami ng letter, so I'm just raising this.

asr-003824
03:58:43.640 --> 03:58:50.180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Just look into it. I'm not sure whether that's validated or not.

asr-003825
03:58:51.400 --> 03:58:57.920
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Alam ko talaga na merong, dati kasi pag PNSL, sino-sino na lang kinukuha eh.

asr-003826
03:58:59.200 --> 03:59:03.360
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I don't agree with that. Dapat ang pinrioritize for peace.

asr-003827
03:59:04.140 --> 03:59:05.160

asr-004140
04:10:14.220 --> 04:10:16.240
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yan po yung problema na nadatna

asr-004141
04:10:16.240 --> 04:10:18.340
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: natin. And we

asr-004142
04:10:18.340 --> 04:10:18.660
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: we

asr-004143
04:10:18.660 --> 04:10:22.180
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: deep dive in

asr-004144
04:10:22.180 --> 04:10:23.880
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: evaluating kung ano yung

asr-004145
04:10:23.880 --> 04:10:26.360
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: root costs. Nang bakit

asr-004146
04:10:26.360 --> 04:10:27.500
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: totoo po na

asr-004147
04:10:27.500 --> 04:10:29.360
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 6 months delay ang

asr-004148
04:10:29.480 --> 04:10:31.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: nag-release ng scholarship,

asr-004149
04:10:31.480 --> 04:10:33.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: sometimes 1 semester,

asr-004150
04:10:33.480 --> 04:10:35.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: sometimes 2 years,

asr-004151
04:10:35.480 --> 04:10:37.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: graduate na wala pa, or

asr-004152
04:10:37.480 --> 04:10:39.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: worse, nag-graduate sila na walang

asr-004153
04:10:39.480 --> 04:10:41.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: natanggap. Problem,

asr-004154
04:10:41.480 --> 04:10:43.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: reason number 1 is that

asr-004155
04:10:43.480 --> 04:10:45.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: during that time, hindi nila

asr-004156
04:10:45.480 --> 04:10:47.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ginagamit ang DSWD

asr-004157
04:10:47.480 --> 04:10:49.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: data.

asr-004158
04:10:49.480 --> 04:10:51.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Second reason is that

asr-004159
04:10:51.480 --> 04:10:53.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: there was a long, because they do

asr-004160
04:10:53.480 --> 04:10:55.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: not use the clean

asr-004161
04:10:55.480 --> 04:10:57.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: data of 4Ps

asr-004162
04:10:57.480 --> 04:10:59.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: from DSWD,

asr-004163
04:10:59.480 --> 04:11:01.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: it entailed them more than 90

asr-004164
04:11:01.480 --> 04:11:03.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: days validation.

asr-004165
04:11:03.480 --> 04:11:05.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pangalawa po, pangatlo po,

asr-004166
04:11:05.480 --> 04:11:07.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ang reason is that there is

asr-004167
04:11:07.480 --> 04:11:09.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: a koa circular na

asr-004168
04:11:09.480 --> 04:11:11.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: yung mga

asr-004169
04:11:11.480 --> 04:11:13.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: schools na

asr-004170
04:11:13.480 --> 04:11:15.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: hindi pa nakapag-liquidate

asr-004171
04:11:15.480 --> 04:11:17.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ay hindi madadownloadan

asr-004172
04:11:17.480 --> 04:11:19.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ng pera. Tatlong

asr-004173
04:11:19.480 --> 04:11:21.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: problema na sinolve po

asr-004174
04:11:21.480 --> 04:11:23.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: namin. Unang problem

asr-004175
04:11:23.480 --> 04:11:25.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: is that ang una namin

asr-004176
04:11:25.480 --> 04:11:27.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ginawa is we met with DSWD,

asr-004177
04:11:27.480 --> 04:11:29.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: we signed a memorandum

asr-004178
04:11:29.480 --> 04:11:31.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: of agreement because

asr-004179
04:11:31.480 --> 04:11:33.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: I am in a position

asr-004180
04:11:33.480 --> 04:11:35.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: that the Commission on Higher Education

asr-004181
04:11:35.480 --> 04:11:37.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ay hindi niya po

asr-004182
04:11:37.480 --> 04:11:39.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: trabaho mag-validate

asr-004183
04:11:39.480 --> 04:11:41.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: na yung mga enrollees namin

asr-004184
04:11:41.480 --> 04:11:43.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ay 4Ps or not.

asr-004185
04:11:43.480 --> 04:11:45.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So, we had an agreement

asr-004186
04:11:45.480 --> 04:11:47.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: na ibibigay nila sa amin

asr-004187
04:11:47.480 --> 04:11:49.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ang clean list ng 4Ps

asr-004188
04:11:49.480 --> 04:11:51.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: at iyon lang ang gagamitin naming

asr-004189
04:11:51.480 --> 04:11:53.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: data to award the

asr-004190
04:11:53.480 --> 04:11:55.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: tertiary education subsidy.

asr-004191
04:11:55.480 --> 04:11:57.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pangalawang problema po,

asr-004192
04:11:57.480 --> 04:11:59.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: na 90 days validation,

asr-004193
04:11:59.480 --> 04:12:01.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: we recalibrated the system,

asr-004194
04:12:01.480 --> 04:12:03.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: we recalibrated

asr-004195
04:12:03.480 --> 04:12:05.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: the process, ngayon ang

asr-004196
04:12:05.480 --> 04:12:07.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: validation is from 90 days

asr-004197
04:12:07.480 --> 04:12:09.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: to 20 days.

asr-004198
04:12:09.480 --> 04:12:11.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Pangatlong problema po is

asr-004199
04:12:11.480 --> 04:12:13.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: the liquidation issue.

asr-004200
04:12:13.480 --> 04:12:15.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So sabi ko, anong kasalanan

asr-004201
04:12:15.480 --> 04:12:17.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ng estudyante

asr-004202
04:12:17.480 --> 04:12:19.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: na beneficiary ng test

asr-004203
04:12:19.480 --> 04:12:21.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: na nasasangkot

asr-004204
04:12:21.480 --> 04:12:23.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: sa liquidation?

asr-004205
04:12:23.480 --> 04:12:25.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So ang ginawa po namin is

asr-004206
04:12:25.480 --> 04:12:27.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: we partnered with Land Bank of the

asr-004207
04:12:27.480 --> 04:12:29.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Philippines para po

asr-004208
04:12:29.480 --> 04:12:31.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: lahat ng beneficiary ng

asr-004209
04:12:31.480 --> 04:12:33.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: TES

asr-004210
04:12:33.480 --> 04:12:35.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: at TDP

asr-004211
04:12:35.480 --> 04:12:37.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ay magkakaroon ng ATM.

asr-004212
04:12:37.480 --> 04:12:39.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So we partnered with

asr-004213
04:12:39.480 --> 04:12:41.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: the Land Bank of the Philippines.

asr-004214
04:12:41.480 --> 04:12:43.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ang rason noon

asr-004215
04:12:43.480 --> 04:12:45.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: na hindi nag-e-ATM ang mga

asr-004216
04:12:45.480 --> 04:12:47.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: bata is because of the sustaining

asr-004217
04:12:47.480 --> 04:12:49.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: balance. With the partnership

asr-004218
04:12:49.480 --> 04:12:51.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: with the Land Bank now,

asr-004219
04:12:51.480 --> 04:12:53.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: zero balance na po sila.

asr-004220
04:12:53.480 --> 04:12:55.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So this is working

asr-004221
04:12:55.480 --> 04:12:57.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: well. So kung

asr-004222

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: kaya po

04:13:03.480 --> 04:13:05.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ng TES and TDP,

asr-004226
04:13:05.480 --> 04:13:07.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: 750,931

asr-004230
04:13:13.480 --> 04:13:15.480
Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So ibig sabihin ma'am, meron na kayong

04:13:25.480 --> 04:13:27.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: CAS lang ang problema namin.

asr-004237
04:13:27.480 --> 04:13:29.480
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So ito po,

asr-004238
04:13:29.480 --> 04:13:31.480

asr-004340
04:16:59.120 --> 04:17:00.240

04:17:17.360 --> 04:17:19.420

asr-004696
04:29:15.120 --> 04:29:17.120

04:29:47.120 --> 04:29:49.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: tanong.

04:29:51.120 --> 04:29:53.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes.

asr-004714
04:29:53.120 --> 04:29:55.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We are aware of that,

asr-004715
04:29:55.120 --> 04:29:57.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Sir SP. And to address

asr-004716
04:29:57.120 --> 04:29:59.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: that, we partner with the

asr-004717
04:29:59.120 --> 04:30:01.360
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Teacher Education Council.

asr-004718
04:30:01.360 --> 04:30:23.400
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And signed a memorandum of agreement. And we identified those compliant university and colleges based on the standards set by CHED. And then we also identified those institution that offers teacher education with IR.

asr-004719
04:30:23.400 --> 04:30:42.900
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Meron na po kaming clean list niyan. And while we solve this ongoing problem on diploma, yes, diploma meal is real. That's one thing sure. So what we did is to give a, to stop this for a while while solving those on board already.

asr-004720
04:30:42.900 --> 04:30:52.940
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So we signed a memorandum of agreement with Teacher Education Council. And we publish in our website, we call this the tertiary.

asr-004721
04:30:53.400 --> 04:31:21.820
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Education Inventory, HEI, Offering Teacher Education Registry. Nandyan po, can you show? With institutional recognition. Para po mag-aidan yung mga incoming students na ito lang nasa list ng Higher Education Teacher Education Registry ang recognized at may COPC.

asr-004722
04:31:21.820 --> 04:31:23.120
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Nandyan na po yan.

asr-004723
04:31:23.400 --> 04:31:30.420
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: So that's one action that we did. And now we are, we are now validating the numbers.

asr-004724
04:31:31.240 --> 04:31:51.500
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: May mga pinaklose na po kami. Ito ang pinakamahirap na sagot sa mahirap na tanong ninyo. Meron na kaming 11 teacher education institution na napaklose. 26 programs. So we continue to do this.

asr-004725
04:31:51.500 --> 04:31:53.380
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And we are recalibrating.

asr-004726
04:31:53.400 --> 04:32:19.880
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And we are recalibrating our, our monitoring system. Meron na kaming conditional. Merong incomplete. May failure po talaga. Kung failed talaga, close. Kung conditional, we give them a certain that's the developmental part of our mandate. Kung conditional talaga, we will give them support in a given period of time but it cannot be forever.

asr-004727
04:32:19.880 --> 04:32:23.380
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: After a given period of time, just like the student.

asr-004728
04:32:23.400 --> 04:32:32.800
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: After a given period of time, just like the student's given one semester to complete, then close na po talaga. So ongoing po yan. But we need your support in here because this is not an easy time.

asr-004729
04:32:32.800 --> 04:32:51.180
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yeah, I agree. I agree it's not an easy, easy job to just to close schools. Mahirap po talaga yan. Maraming nagagalit. Maraming, well, probably rebel.

asr-004730
04:32:51.520 --> 04:33:03.900
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But it's something that we need to do because we need discipline. At matagal na rin ho nating pinag-uusapan ito sa EDCOM.

asr-004761
04:33:04.140 --> 04:33:19.620
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So in order to produce quality teachers, we need quality TEIs. It goes without saying. So kung hindi naman mag-invest, hindi naman ito public or private. It goes both ways, public and private. So importante rin na we maintain quality among our TEIs.

asr-004762
04:33:20.660 --> 04:33:21.160
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes, sir.

asr-004885
04:37:23.040 --> 04:37:24.980
Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: so we're just flagging the department

asr-004886

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: on that one

asr-004887

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: yung mga validation

asr-004895
04:37:39.520 --> 04:37:41.460
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: ang bottleneck talaga

asr-004896
04:37:41.460 --> 04:37:43.080
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: is the cost availability

asr-004897

CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: cost availability

04:38:14.920 --> 04:38:16.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: CHED and SUCs on the floor

asr-004914
04:38:16.900 --> 04:38:19.260
Senator Joel Villanueva: and in coming up with the

asr-004915
04:38:19.260 --> 04:38:20.500
Senator Joel Villanueva: committee report

asr-004916
04:38:21.380 --> 04:38:23.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: maraming nang binanggit kanina

asr-004917
04:38:23.180 --> 04:38:25.300
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang ating mga kasamahan po dito

asr-004918
04:38:25.300 --> 04:38:27.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: but hindi ko lang

04:38:27.400 --> 04:38:28.500
Senator Joel Villanueva: mapapalampas siyempre

asr-004920
04:38:28.500 --> 04:38:30.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung perennial tinatanong ko

04:38:30.100 --> 04:38:30.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung job orders

asr-004922
04:38:30.980 --> 04:38:32.320

04:38:32.320 --> 04:38:34.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: pati yung mga authorized

asr-004924
04:38:34.580 --> 04:38:38.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: authorized plantilla positions

asr-004925
04:38:38.020 --> 04:38:40.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: because CHED for example

asr-004926
04:38:40.000 --> 04:38:43.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: has 791 authorized permanent positions

asr-004927
04:38:43.860 --> 04:38:46.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: pero 545 are filled

asr-004928
04:38:46.560 --> 04:38:49.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: leaving 246 vacancies

asr-004929
04:38:49.040 --> 04:38:49.700
Senator Joel Villanueva: so

asr-004930
04:38:49.700 --> 04:38:51.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: pag inanumang

asr-004931
04:38:51.380 --> 04:38:51.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung mat

asr-004932
04:38:51.840 --> 04:38:53.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: 1 in every 3

asr-004933
04:38:53.120 --> 04:38:55.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: authorized CHED plantilla positions

asr-004934
04:38:55.120 --> 04:38:56.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: remains vacant

asr-004935
04:38:56.100 --> 04:38:57.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: although maliit lang naman yung

asr-004936
04:38:57.600 --> 04:38:58.340
Senator Joel Villanueva: denominator

asr-004937
04:38:58.340 --> 04:39:00.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: last year if I'm not mistaken

asr-004938
04:39:00.860 --> 04:39:02.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: 1 out of 10

asr-004939
04:39:02.520 --> 04:39:04.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang unfilled

asr-004940
04:39:04.820 --> 04:39:07.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: position in every government position

04:39:07.560 --> 04:39:09.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: right now

asr-004942
04:39:09.620 --> 04:39:10.480
Senator Joel Villanueva: for this year

asr-004943
04:39:10.480 --> 04:39:11.920
Senator Joel Villanueva: 1 out of 13

asr-004944
04:39:11.920 --> 04:39:13.780
Senator Joel Villanueva: nag-improve naman kahit konti

asr-004945
04:39:13.780 --> 04:39:14.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: but hindi ko

asr-004946
04:39:14.520 --> 04:39:15.760
Senator Joel Villanueva: hindi ko

asr-004947
04:39:15.760 --> 04:39:17.260
Senator Joel Villanueva: iniiwan po

asr-004948
04:39:17.260 --> 04:39:19.340
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung usapin na yan

asr-004949
04:39:19.340 --> 04:39:21.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: and then the next would be

asr-004950
04:39:21.380 --> 04:39:24.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: yun nga

asr-004951
04:39:24.420 --> 04:39:26.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung permanent personal position din

asr-004952
04:39:26.560 --> 04:39:27.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa UNIFAS natin

asr-004953
04:39:27.820 --> 04:39:30.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: kasi when we pass the law

asr-004954
04:39:30.620 --> 04:39:32.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: if I'm not mistaken

asr-004955
04:39:32.420 --> 04:39:35.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: parang hindi ho masyadong nagbago

asr-004956
04:39:35.900 --> 04:39:38.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung kakulangan natin

asr-004957
04:39:38.140 --> 04:39:40.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa plantilla position

asr-004958
04:39:40.360 --> 04:39:41.760
Senator Joel Villanueva: ng UNIFAS

asr-004959
04:39:41.760 --> 04:39:43.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: so yun din gusto ko malaman

asr-004960
04:39:43.660 --> 04:39:43.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: kung

asr-004961
04:39:43.980 --> 04:39:47.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: it was reported to EDCOM

asr-004962
04:39:47.360 --> 04:39:49.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: that only around 18 to 20

asr-004963
04:39:49.360 --> 04:39:51.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: plantilla positions were added

asr-004964
04:39:51.020 --> 04:39:51.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: so

asr-004965
04:39:51.380 --> 04:39:52.380
Senator Joel Villanueva: in connection

asr-004966
04:39:52.380 --> 04:39:53.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: with the UNIFAS

asr-004967
04:39:53.880 --> 04:39:55.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: so we wanted to

asr-004968
04:39:55.740 --> 04:39:57.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: find out how we can

asr-004969
04:39:57.020 --> 04:39:58.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: look into this

asr-004970
04:39:58.960 --> 04:39:59.920
Senator Joel Villanueva: because despite

asr-004971
04:39:59.920 --> 04:40:01.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: its expounded responsibilities

asr-004972
04:40:01.880 --> 04:40:05.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: 191 or 24.5%

asr-004973
04:40:05.420 --> 04:40:07.320
Senator Joel Villanueva: of the 779

asr-004974
04:40:07.320 --> 04:40:08.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: authorized plantilla positions

asr-004975
04:40:08.740 --> 04:40:09.200
Senator Joel Villanueva: of CHED

asr-004976
04:40:09.200 --> 04:40:10.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: remain unfilled

asr-004977
04:40:10.600 --> 04:40:12.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: so gusto lang natin

asr-004978
04:40:12.180 --> 04:40:13.300
Senator Joel Villanueva: maintindihan po yan

asr-004979
04:40:13.300 --> 04:40:14.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: because

asr-004980
04:40:14.140 --> 04:40:15.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: also

asr-004981
04:40:15.600 --> 04:40:17.440
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang CHED reported

asr-004982
04:40:17.440 --> 04:40:18.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: that more than

asr-004983
04:40:18.140 --> 04:40:19.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: a thousand job order

asr-004984
04:40:19.420 --> 04:40:21.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: and contract of service personnel

asr-004985
04:40:21.060 --> 04:40:21.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: so

asr-004986
04:40:21.380 --> 04:40:23.220
Senator Joel Villanueva: we wanted to find out

asr-004987
04:40:23.220 --> 04:40:23.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: how many of them

asr-004988
04:40:23.980 --> 04:40:25.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: are performing functions

asr-004989
04:40:25.600 --> 04:40:27.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: that are regular

asr-004990
04:40:27.960 --> 04:40:28.900

Senator Joel Villanueva: continuing

04:40:30.040 --> 04:40:31.320
Senator Joel Villanueva: or supervisory

asr-004993
04:40:31.320 --> 04:40:32.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: in nature

asr-004994
04:40:32.060 --> 04:40:34.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: and ano naman yung

asr-004995
04:40:34.020 --> 04:40:35.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: plano natin

asr-004996
04:40:35.040 --> 04:40:35.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: to address this

asr-004997
04:40:35.980 --> 04:40:37.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: I think it's also being

asr-004998
04:40:37.660 --> 04:40:38.500
Senator Joel Villanueva: flagged by COA

asr-004999
04:40:38.500 --> 04:40:39.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: if I'm not mistaken

asr-005000
04:40:39.460 --> 04:40:40.280
Senator Joel Villanueva: I had this

asr-005001
04:40:40.280 --> 04:40:42.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: LBRMO report

asr-005002
04:40:42.900 --> 04:40:44.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: na ibinigay po sa atin

asr-005003
04:40:44.360 --> 04:40:45.740
Senator Joel Villanueva: those are the things

asr-005004
04:40:45.740 --> 04:40:46.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: that might

asr-005005
04:40:46.660 --> 04:40:49.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: arise during the

asr-005006
04:40:49.420 --> 04:40:51.260
Senator Joel Villanueva: budget deliberation

asr-005007
04:40:51.260 --> 04:40:51.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: so I think that's why

asr-005008
04:40:51.380 --> 04:40:52.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: I just wanted to be

asr-005009
04:40:52.880 --> 04:40:53.760
Senator Joel Villanueva: ready

04:40:53.760 --> 04:40:54.940

04:40:57.040 --> 04:40:58.020

04:41:04.060 --> 04:41:05.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: issues

04:41:05.360 --> 04:41:07.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: para masagot ho natin

asr-005019
04:41:07.180 --> 04:41:08.360
Senator Joel Villanueva: and then

asr-005020
04:41:08.360 --> 04:41:10.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: I think it's important

asr-005021
04:41:10.720 --> 04:41:11.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: to note

asr-005022
04:41:11.660 --> 04:41:12.220
Senator Joel Villanueva: that

Senator Joel Villanueva: I understand where

asr-005243
04:45:00.000 --> 04:45:01.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: you're coming from. In fact,

04:45:01.840 --> 04:45:04.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: that's the main reason, Madam Chair,

asr-005245

04:45:07.420 --> 04:45:09.500
Senator Joel Villanueva: I've been in that position.

asr-005248
04:45:09.800 --> 04:45:11.540

asr-005252
04:45:17.820 --> 04:45:20.080

Senator Joel Villanueva: with the COA

asr-005254
04:45:22.140 --> 04:45:24.260
Senator Joel Villanueva: auditors. Wala silang

asr-005255
04:45:24.260 --> 04:45:26.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: auditors. Hindi silang makapag-hire

asr-005256
04:45:26.460 --> 04:45:27.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: because wala ang takers.

asr-005257
04:45:28.080 --> 04:45:29.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: Dahil ang baba-baba. And that's why they're

asr-005258
04:45:29.980 --> 04:45:31.440
Senator Joel Villanueva: asking for salary

asr-005259

asr-005260
04:45:35.280 --> 04:45:35.420

Senator Joel Villanueva: of Excellence applications?

asr-005267
04:45:47.700 --> 04:45:49.520
Senator Joel Villanueva: Is this partly because of

asr-005268
04:45:49.520 --> 04:45:51.520

04:48:43.820 --> 04:48:44.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you.

asr-005350
04:48:44.820 --> 04:48:46.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Again, just to...

asr-005351
04:48:46.820 --> 04:48:49.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, we can expedite the proceedings.

asr-005352
04:48:49.820 --> 04:48:54.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung kanina binanggit na ni SP Win yung sa seed fund na reduced.

asr-005353
04:48:54.820 --> 04:48:57.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: And then, when you look at the

asr-005354
04:48:57.820 --> 04:48:59.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: scholarship for Dr. Para sa Bayan,

asr-005356
04:48:59.820 --> 04:49:01.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: it's higher.

asr-005357
04:49:01.820 --> 04:49:07.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pero ang targeting ng beneficiaries ay fewer.

asr-005358
04:49:07.820 --> 04:49:10.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yun po yung nakalagay sa atin.

asr-005359
04:49:10.820 --> 04:49:12.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Is this...

asr-005360
04:49:12.820 --> 04:49:14.820
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ano po yun, Chair?

asr-005361
04:49:14.820 --> 04:49:18.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung sa Medical Scholarship and Return Service Program,

asr-005362
04:49:18.820 --> 04:49:25.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: despite mas mataas yung budget na nakuha natin ngayon,

asr-005363
04:49:25.820 --> 04:49:26.820
Senator Joel Villanueva: ngayong taon,

asr-005364
04:49:26.820 --> 04:49:31.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: ang target ay fewer beneficiaries.

asr-005365
04:49:31.100 --> 04:49:38.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: Nag-decline po eh from 5,087 naging 4,757

asr-005366
04:49:38.860 --> 04:49:40.500
Senator Joel Villanueva: beneficiaries. Nandito po sa report

asr-005367
04:49:40.500 --> 04:49:47.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: given to me by LBRMO naman.

asr-005368
04:49:47.420 --> 04:49:56.220
Senator Joel Villanueva: pwede pang bigyay na lang sa amin kasi these are the things that I needed in order to defend

asr-005369
04:49:56.220 --> 04:49:56.780
Senator Joel Villanueva: the budget .

asr-005370
04:49:56.780 --> 04:49:57.780
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yeah, Mr. Chair.

asr-005371
04:49:57.780 --> 04:49:58.280
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: We are taking notice of this.

asr-005372
04:49:58.280 --> 04:49:58.780
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Ma'am?

asr-005373
04:49:58.820 --> 04:50:01.700
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: But we have data, I assure you that we have the data.

asr-005374
04:50:01.880 --> 04:50:02.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: Okay, yeah, thank you.

asr-005375
04:50:03.120 --> 04:50:07.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: And then another thing, I think you made mention about this, yung sa travel tax.

asr-005376
04:50:07.160 --> 04:50:17.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi what if, tanggalin yung travel tax, abolish, yung Higher Education Development Fund galing po dito.

asr-005377
04:50:17.620 --> 04:50:25.280
Senator Joel Villanueva: So pag tinanggal yun, gusto ko rin i-represent kayo na ang mawawala sa inyo ay ganito at maapektuhan sa inyo ay ganito.

asr-005378
04:50:25.280 --> 04:50:35.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because 40% ng CHESA travel tax collections, I mean, accrue to the Higher Education Development Fund.

asr-005379
04:50:35.620 --> 04:50:39.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: So pagka napasa ito, may panukalang batas po eh.

asr-005380
04:50:39.480 --> 04:50:47.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: And if it passes in this coming fiscal year, again, affected na naman po kayo.

asr-005381
04:50:48.180 --> 04:50:51.940
Senator Joel Villanueva: And I wanted to make sure na we're ready if that happens.

asr-005382
04:50:51.940 --> 04:50:55.260
Senator Joel Villanueva: So perhaps if you can submit into this.

asr-005383
04:50:55.280 --> 04:51:03.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung projected annual revenue loss, yung mga programs and number of beneficiaries potentially affected,

asr-005384
04:51:03.700 --> 04:51:07.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: amount of timing of replacement funding required.

asr-005385
04:51:07.760 --> 04:51:15.560
Senator Joel Villanueva: At if ever this happens, siyempre ako, for me, dapat bago mangyari ito,

asr-005386
04:51:15.700 --> 04:51:24.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: dapat kasama dito sa proposed budget for this coming fiscal year, yung maapekto ang programa.

asr-005387
04:51:24.100 --> 04:51:25.100
Senator Joel Villanueva: So again, just...

asr-005388
04:51:25.280 --> 04:51:27.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: Just for submission na lang po, no?

asr-005389
04:51:27.200 --> 04:51:28.180
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yes, we will submit.

asr-005390
04:51:28.640 --> 04:51:33.660
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: But for your information po, we, on the average, we collect 2 billion.

asr-005391
04:51:34.180 --> 04:51:40.540
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: And this will, yeah, this will cover the funding for institutional development and enhancement, yung IDIG namin.

asr-005392
04:51:41.120 --> 04:51:46.820
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Yung academic program development and enhancement, internationalization, wala nang magtra-travel kung why layan.

asr-005393
04:51:46.820 --> 04:51:53.520
CHED Chairperson Shirley Castañeda Agrupis: Research and development and extension, and then scholarship training and advanced degree.

asr-005394
04:51:55.280 --> 04:51:57.420
Senator Joel Villanueva: Okay, thank you for that.

asr-005395
04:51:57.520 --> 04:52:03.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: I think I was able to cover most, if not all of the things I wanted to cover.

asr-005396
04:52:03.720 --> 04:52:04.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: Oh, one more thing.

asr-005397
04:52:05.260 --> 04:52:12.700
Senator Joel Villanueva: Doon sa inclusive education and kasi kanina nabanggit din lang yung doktor para sa bayan.

asr-005398
04:52:13.040 --> 04:52:13.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm not sure if I...

asr-005399
04:52:14.280 --> 04:52:15.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: Aki na, aki na yun.

asr-005400
04:52:16.220 --> 04:52:17.140
Senator Joel Villanueva: Isa na lang, right?

asr-005401
04:52:18.600 --> 04:52:25.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: You know, I, I, I, this is very personal for me because I have a kid who is...

asr-005402
04:52:25.120 --> 04:52:30.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: in the spectrum, alam ni Doc Gapto.

asr-005403
04:52:30.620 --> 04:52:34.960
Senator Joel Villanueva: Hindi po pwedeng, kasi wala doon sa law yung specialization eh, diba?

asr-005404
04:52:35.500 --> 04:52:39.620
Senator Joel Villanueva: And we were tackling the budget of DOH last time.

asr-005405
04:52:39.720 --> 04:52:47.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: And when we, when we were deliberating on the budget, on the bill ng doktor para sa bayan law,

asr-005406
04:52:48.420 --> 04:52:54.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: I remember distinctly there are 209 municipalities with zero doctors during that time.

asr-005407
04:52:55.120 --> 04:53:00.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: And then in regions, there were only like seven regions or eight.

asr-005408
04:53:00.660 --> 04:53:03.920
Senator Joel Villanueva: And ngayon lahat meron na, except NIR na lang.

asr-005409
04:53:04.000 --> 04:53:06.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: Napag-usapan na namin ni Dr. Tirso, you...

asr-005410
04:53:07.300 --> 04:53:09.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: I forgot the name of the president ng...

asr-005411
04:53:10.220 --> 04:53:12.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: Norsoo.

asr-005412
04:53:12.440 --> 04:53:15.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: So yun na lang, ang hinihintay natin.

asr-005413
04:53:15.160 --> 04:53:22.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ang tinatanong ko lang po is, kasi wala doon sa law natin yung specialization hanggang doon sa general...

asr-005414
04:53:23.240 --> 04:53:24.660
Senator Joel Villanueva: But perhaps if we can...

asr-005415
04:53:25.120 --> 04:53:29.460
Senator Joel Villanueva: do an exemption or perhaps come up with something.

asr-005416
04:53:29.580 --> 04:53:31.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi medyo glaring na po.

asr-005417
04:53:31.900 --> 04:53:38.160
Senator Joel Villanueva: For example, yung medical practitioners, child development.

asr-005418
04:53:38.880 --> 04:53:42.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: I remember, ako ho personally, na-experience ko po ito.

asr-005419
04:53:43.000 --> 04:53:47.480
Senator Joel Villanueva: Dadalawa lang yung doktor na nakilala ho dito.

asr-005420
04:53:47.480 --> 04:53:54.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: Si Dr. Di Malanta ng St. Louis at si Dr. Lexie Reyes.

asr-005421
04:53:55.120 --> 04:53:56.440
Senator Joel Villanueva: Na makatimed.

asr-005422
04:53:57.240 --> 04:54:03.040
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pagka po yung bata maghihingi ng appointment,

asr-005423
04:54:04.000 --> 04:54:06.300
Senator Joel Villanueva: one year.

asr-005424
04:54:06.740 --> 04:54:08.240
Senator Joel Villanueva: You have to wait for one year.

asr-005425
04:54:09.140 --> 04:54:14.180
Senator Joel Villanueva: Eh, nung isang araw po, nandun ako sa Minuyan Elementary School, doon po sa San Jose del Monte.

asr-005426
04:54:15.000 --> 04:54:18.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: At sinek ko yung SPED program ng Department of Education.

asr-005427
04:54:18.640 --> 04:54:22.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: And I already reported this to Secretary Angara.

asr-005428
04:54:23.240 --> 04:54:24.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: There are about 100...

asr-005429
04:54:25.120 --> 04:54:31.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: 38 special kids doon po sa SPED program sa Minuyan Elementary School.

asr-005430
04:54:32.100 --> 04:54:33.500
Senator Joel Villanueva: Dadalawa lang ho yung teacher.

asr-005431
04:54:34.240 --> 04:54:44.840
Senator Joel Villanueva: And tinanong ko ho kung meron silang experience or they were able to at least somehow may diagnosis na yung mga bata.

asr-005432
04:54:45.020 --> 04:54:45.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: Wala ni isa.

asr-005433
04:54:46.800 --> 04:54:48.800
Senator Joel Villanueva: Nakamit ho ako ng isang parent doon.

asr-005434
04:54:48.920 --> 04:54:51.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: Tatlo yung anak niya na part ng SPED.

asr-005435

Senator Joel Villanueva: Eh, ako na ho mismo.

asr-005436
04:54:54.600 --> 04:54:55.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sasabihin ko sa inyo.

asr-005437
04:54:55.680 --> 04:54:56.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: Senador na po ako.

asr-005438
04:54:57.100 --> 04:54:58.860
Senator Joel Villanueva: Eh, hindi ko ako makakita eh.

asr-005439
04:54:59.860 --> 04:55:03.280
Senator Joel Villanueva: Nang developmental doctor eh.

asr-005440
04:55:03.800 --> 04:55:05.020
Senator Joel Villanueva: Dito sa Pilipinas.

asr-005441
04:55:06.140 --> 04:55:08.900
Senator Joel Villanueva: Now, you want to go further ng problema?

04:55:09.640 --> 04:55:10.060
Senator Joel Villanueva: PTs.

asr-005443
04:55:10.780 --> 04:55:12.080
Senator Joel Villanueva: Occupational Therapies.

04:55:12.200 --> 04:55:13.440
Senator Joel Villanueva: Speech Therapies.

asr-005445
04:55:14.540 --> 04:55:19.640
Senator Joel Villanueva: Speech Therapy ko parang took me like four months bago ako ma-accommodate eh.

asr-005446
04:55:19.840 --> 04:55:20.600
Senator Joel Villanueva: Four months.

asr-005447
04:55:21.540 --> 04:55:22.980
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, iniisip ko lang ho.

asr-005448
04:55:23.480 --> 04:55:24.580
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ah, hindi naman tayo.

asr-005449
04:55:24.680 --> 04:55:32.120
Senator Joel Villanueva: Dapat siguro makulong sa isang box especially with this glaring problems that we are facing right now.

asr-005450
04:55:32.820 --> 04:55:35.940
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung developmental pediatrician.

asr-005451
04:55:36.620 --> 04:55:47.400
Senator Joel Villanueva: Baka pwedeng masama natin sa scholarship program or kung merong program na, I mean, ng UP meron eh.

asr-005452
04:55:47.500 --> 04:55:48.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: UP-USD, di ba?

asr-005453
04:55:49.780 --> 04:55:53.480
Senator Joel Villanueva: Baka pwede tayong magkaroon ng item for that.

asr-005454
04:55:53.480 --> 04:55:54.480

asr-005458
04:56:01.560 --> 04:56:08.280
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ah, pwedeng tayong mag-alot ng funding for scholarship for that particular item habang hinihintay natin.

asr-005459
04:56:08.360 --> 04:56:10.880
Senator Joel Villanueva: Kasi kung gagawa pa tayong batas, medyo matagal eh.

asr-005460
04:56:11.200 --> 04:56:17.700
Senator Joel Villanueva: Mahirap na, ano, siguro let's be proactive in this particular issue.

asr-005461
04:56:18.300 --> 04:56:18.780
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, yun po.

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kasi nawala sa atin yung luxury kasi last year merong flood control na 250 billion na may luxury na pinamahagi sa iba.

asr-005478
04:57:24.600 --> 04:57:25.520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But ibang departments.

asr-005479
04:57:25.780 --> 04:57:28.280
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And yung CHED was one of those.

04:57:28.440 --> 04:57:29.800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kaya po nagkaroon tayo na ano.

04:57:29.900 --> 04:57:34.380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But we will do our best para matis mahabol natin yung nawala sa inyo.

asr-005482
04:57:35.240 --> 04:57:41.680
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Because the last thing, we will always treat, dapat investment ang tingin natin lagi sa inyong education.

asr-005483
04:57:41.680 --> 04:57:46.320
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Be rest assured that masigip man, may yung elbow room natin is really limited.

asr-005484
