**[00:20:03.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000048)  
Now, before we move on, the Chair would like to read this opening statement.

**[00:20:08.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000049)  
Good morning to our colleagues in government, our resource persons, and everyone present today.

**[00:20:13.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000050)  
Today, we deliberate on the proposed 2027 budget of the Department of Public Works and Highways,

**[00:20:20.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000051)  
one of the government's most important implementing agencies.

**[00:20:24.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000052)  
The DPWH plays a crucial role not only in building roads, bridges, flood control systems,

**[00:20:29.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000053)  
and other public

**[00:20:30.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000054)  
infrastructure,

**[00:20:30.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000055)  
but also driving economic growth.

**[00:20:34.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000056)  
Infrastructure spending has a significant multiplier effect on the economy,

**[00:20:39.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000057)  
creating jobs, improving connectivity, attracting investments, and stimulating economic activity.

**[00:20:47.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000058)  
As demonstrated by developed countries, infrastructure deserves as the backbone of a strong economy,

**[00:20:54.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000059)  
opening up opportunities, and ultimately improving the quality of lives of our people.

**[00:21:00.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000060)  
During the recent DBCC briefing,

**[00:21:03.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000061)  
DEPDev reported that infrastructure spending averaged around 5.8% of GDP from 2022 to 2024,

**[00:21:12.760] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000062)  
but dropped significantly to around 4.7% in 2025.

**[00:21:19.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000063)  
And at present, 2026 is much even worse.

**[00:21:24.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000064)  
Second quarter is only 2% GDP.

**[00:21:27.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000065)  
DepDEP also identified,

**[00:21:30.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000066)  
underspending and delays in project implementation as risks to achieving our growth targets.

**[00:21:36.320] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000067)  
This comes amid a sharp 32.2% contraction in public construction for the first half of 2026,

**[00:21:44.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000068)  
raising serious concerns about the pace of infrastructure development and its impact on economic growth.

**[00:21:52.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000069)  
Noong nakaraang taon, naging sentro ng kontrobersya ang DPWH dahil sa mga anomalya sa flood control projects.

**[00:22:00.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000070)  
It is one of, if not the largest, corruption scandal in the history of our country.

**[00:22:06.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000071)  
Noong sumalbulat po ito, mistulang tumigil ang lahat, at nauunawaan po natin ito.

**[00:22:14.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000072)  
Sometimes we need to pause for a while, rethink and rectify the errors before once again moving forward.

**[00:22:20.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000073)  
The flood control corruption scandal should be treated as a temporary speed bump.

**[00:22:26.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000074)  
We acknowledge the filing of cases in the name of accountability,

**[00:22:30.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000075)  
tunay po na dapat na may managot,

**[00:22:32.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000076)  
ngunit hindi po dapat maging dahilan ang kontrobersya upang tuluyan natin ihinto ang infrastructure development.

**[00:22:39.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000077)  
Ang dapat po natin gawin ay mas maging mapagmatsyag,

**[00:22:44.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000078)  
bantayan natin ang kabanang bayan at tiyakin na mapupunta ito sa tama.

**[00:22:50.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000079)  
The promises of infrastructure development can only be achieved and felt if we become more cautious and aware of certain red flags.

**[00:22:58.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000080)  
They must be achieved.

**[00:23:00.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000081)  
They must be addressed and seriously dealt with.

**[00:23:04.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000082)  
But also, again, we'd like to emphasize that we give importance to accountability more than anything.

**[00:23:12.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000083)  
Ang mga talagang may sangkot, ang mga may sala ay dapat panagutin at talagang dapat po ay talagang hindi natularan at hindi na maulit-mulit.

**[00:23:22.980] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000084)  
We acknowledge the reforms that the good secretary tried instituting,

**[00:23:26.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000085)  
like requiring certificates of importance.

**[00:23:30.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000086)  
Implementability,

**[00:23:31.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000087)  
ensuring ready program of works,

**[00:23:35.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000088)  
signing and others in the 2027 NEP.

**[00:23:38.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000089)  
Pero good secretary, sa aming pong initial review ng ilang DPWG projects,

**[00:23:43.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000090)  
napansin namin ang tila ilang questionable items pa rin na ipagpapalagay natin na red flags.

**[00:23:51.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000091)  
Una, sa 1,256 projects sa ilalim ng flood management program,

**[00:23:57.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000092)  
155 projects na may allocation na abot sa 8.2

**[00:24:00.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000093)  
billion ang kulang o hindi nakapag-comply sa requirements ng iyong ahensya.

**[00:24:05.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000094)  
Pangalawa, may mga budgetary items na ang tanging description ay various projects.

**[00:24:12.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000095)  
Ikatlo, may mga lump sum items na wala lang malinaw na detalye para sa implementasyon.

**[00:24:19.500] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000096)  
Mayroon ding mga clustered projects.

**[00:24:21.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000097)  
At panghuli, may ilan pang nawawala o inconsistent ang project limits.

**[00:24:27.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000098)  
Walang petsa o cost ng mga nasabing proyekto.

**[00:24:30.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000099)  
So yes, we need to boost our infrastructure spending but not the expense of the reforms we want to be instituted.

**[00:24:40.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000100)  
Sinipulan po ang reforma sa budget ng naupo bilang chairman ng Committee on Finance

**[00:24:45.360] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000101)  
ang ating pong Senate President Wingachelya noong isa taon

**[00:24:48.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000102)  
at balak po natin ipagpatuloy ang reformang kanya pong nasimulan.

**[00:24:54.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000103)  
Every delayed project has an economic cost

**[00:24:57.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000104)  
and every anomalous poorly vetted project

**[00:25:00.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000105)  
costs us even more.

**[00:25:02.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000106)  
It wastes taxpayers' money, deprives endangered communities of safety,

**[00:25:07.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000107)  
and erodes public trust.

**[00:25:09.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000108)  
Sa kabila ng lahat ng mga nangyayaring issue na may kaugnayan

**[00:25:12.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000109)  
sa maanumalyang flood control at ghost projects,

**[00:25:16.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000110)  
mas lalo lamang tumingkad ang pangangailangan natin

**[00:25:19.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000111)  
para sa isang comprehensive master plan para sa infrastruktura.

**[00:25:24.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000112)  
Habang hinihintay po natin ang pagpasa ng ating panukalang master plan

**[00:25:28.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000113)  
for Infrastructure and National Development or MIND Act,

**[00:25:32.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000114)  
dapat ay ngayon pa lamang ay basiguro natin na naayon na rin ito

**[00:25:36.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000115)  
sa proposed budget ng DPWH.

**[00:25:38.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000116)  
As we deliberate, our goal is clear.

**[00:25:43.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000117)  
Restore the momentum of infrastructure spending

**[00:25:46.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000118)  
while eliminating the efficiencies, irregularities, and anomalies

**[00:25:51.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000119)  
that have undermined public trust.

**[00:25:54.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000120)  
Kailangan natin ibalik ang tiwala ng ating pong mamamahal

**[00:25:58.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000121)  
ng taong bayan sa ating gobyerno at tigit sa lahat sa ating budget process.

**[00:26:05.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000122)  
We need to strike a balance for this budget season.

**[00:26:10.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000123)  
We need to give utmost priority and importance to accountability

**[00:26:15.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000124)  
but at the same time, we need to accelerate public spending

**[00:26:18.760] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000125)  
to improve our economic growth.

**[00:26:22.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000126)  
Maraming salamat po.

**[00:26:24.320] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000127)  
Before we continue, the Chair would like to ask,

**[00:26:28.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000128)  
our Senate President, if he has any opening statement,

**[00:26:30.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000129)  
then probably our colleagues.

**[00:26:33.460] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000130)  
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

**[00:26:35.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000131)  
Maraming salamat po.

**[00:26:38.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000132)  
Natandaan ko po last year nung nagkaroon tayo ng hearing sa DPWH budget.

**[00:26:46.740] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000133)  
Kakaupo lang po ni Secretary Vince Dison at that time.

**[00:26:51.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000134)  
At natatandaan ko po parang nawala po sa kanya, parang 50 pounds.

**[00:26:58.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000135)  
Tapos yung buhok niya, parang hindi ko ma-describe.

**[00:27:02.340] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000136)  
Pero ngayon, at least naka-gel na at meron na ho siyang Amerikana.

**[00:27:08.740] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000137)  
Kaya nakakahinga na ho siya ngayon at medyo tumaba-taba na rin.

**[00:27:13.220] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000138)  
Para tumanda ng 20 years eh.

**[00:27:15.060] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000139)  
Ngayon, ano na lang, 10 years na lang.

**[00:27:18.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000140)  
But having said that, kidding aside,

**[00:27:21.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000141)  
nagpapasalamat po ako kay Secretary Vince because over the last one year,

**[00:27:26.700] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000142)  
katulad po ng sinabi,

**[00:27:28.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000143)  
sabi ninyo, Mr. Chairman, maraming reforma ang nakita ho natin sa DPWH.

**[00:27:33.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000144)  
At marami ho tayong nakita ang mga basics na inilagay niya para po hindi na maulit yung nakita natin noong 2025.

**[00:27:45.080] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000145)  
Importante dito yung paggagawa ng master plan at feasibility study na pinakita nyo sa inyong slide ho kanina.

**[00:27:52.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000146)  
Napakahalaga ho yan dahil yan po yung kulang last time.

**[00:27:55.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000147)  
At isa rin pong impulsiyon.

**[00:27:58.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000148)  
Importante na nakita kong aksyon na ginawa po ng DPWH sa pumumunan po ni Secretary Dizon ay yung sinasabing yung madalas dapat panagutin yung dapat managot.

**[00:28:12.060] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000149)  
At nakita ho natin marami pong mga politiko, mga even DPWH people na nakulong at nakasuhan.

**[00:28:20.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000150)  
At ito ay napakahalaga dahil isa, mahalaga po yung reforma pero mahalaga yung accountability.

**[00:28:27.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000151)  
At mapanagot natin para hindi ho ito naulit, mauulit.

**[00:28:32.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000152)  
Isang dahilan ho kaya nauulit to dahil walang natatakot eh.

**[00:28:35.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000153)  
Walang nakukulong, walang nagiging accountable.

**[00:28:38.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000154)  
Pero from top to bottom, from politiko all the way to the bureaucracy, nakita ho natin na marami hong nakulong at ngayon ay kinakasuhan.

**[00:28:47.160] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000155)  
At nagpapasalamat po ako sa DPWH at under the leadership of Secretary Dizon dahil nga ho nagpursige at naglakas ng loob.

**[00:28:56.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000156)  
Political will.

**[00:28:57.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000157)  
Para po magkaroon ng panadukutan sa loob po ng DPWH.

**[00:29:03.840] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000158)  
May papakita lang po akong a few slides, Helena.

**[00:29:07.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000159)  
At nasabi na rin to ng ating chairman na talagang bumagal po ang ating ekonomiya.

**[00:29:14.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000160)  
In the last 10 years outside of the pandemic, ito na yung pinakamabagal ho nating economic growth na nakita at 2.6% in the first half.

**[00:29:24.000] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000161)  
And if you look at the reasons, next slide.

**[00:29:27.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000162)  
Ang pinakamalaking dahilan dito ay number one, bumagal po yung government construction at number two, bumagal yung household consumption.

**[00:29:38.860] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000163)  
In household consumption, may kaugnayan yan sa mataas na presyo ng bilihin or inflation.

**[00:29:46.620] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000164)  
Pero in government construction, ito po ay directang connectado doon sa flood control issue natin.

**[00:29:52.460] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000165)  
So gusto rin natin marinig ngayon sa DPWH kung ano po yung...

**[00:29:57.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000166)  
nagawa na this second half of

**[00:30:00.000] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000167)  
the year para po pabilisin

**[00:30:01.940] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000168)  
yung pag-gastos

**[00:30:04.280] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000169)  
natin sa mga infrastructure

**[00:30:05.820] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000170)  
projects. Ang low-hanging fruit

**[00:30:07.860] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000171)  
po para mapabilis po yung ating ekonomiya

**[00:30:10.060] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000172)  
ay pabilisin rin yung construction,

**[00:30:12.740] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000173)  
pabilisin yung implementation

**[00:30:13.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000174)  
ng project without sacrificing

**[00:30:15.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000175)  
integrity,

**[00:30:17.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000176)  
accountability, and of course

**[00:30:19.840] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000177)  
the right price.

**[00:30:21.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000178)  
Hindi ibig sabihin na pababilisin

**[00:30:23.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000179)  
natin yung construction,

**[00:30:25.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000180)  
babalik tayo sa dating gawin

**[00:30:27.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000181)  
na sino-sino na lang

**[00:30:30.080] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000182)  
ang binibigyan ng kontrata kahit na

**[00:30:31.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000183)  
overpriced. So, importante

**[00:30:33.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000184)  
na pabilisin yung implementation

**[00:30:35.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000185)  
ng project, pero yung reforma

**[00:30:37.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000186)  
na naumpisahan na po ng DPWH

**[00:30:39.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000187)  
under the leadership ni Secretary Dizon,

**[00:30:41.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000188)  
eh hindi ho mapuputulho yan.

**[00:30:43.940] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000189)  
So,

**[00:30:45.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000190)  
again, Mr. Chairman,

**[00:30:47.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000191)

the budget of

**[00:30:53.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000194)  
the DPWH as a priority.

**[00:30:56.200] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000195)  
Talagang mahalaga po ang DPWH

**[00:30:57.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000196)  
sa pagbilis po ng

**[00:30:59.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-000197)  
paglago ng ating ekonomiya.

opening statement.

**[00:31:09.000] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-000202)  
Yes, hindi na po ako mag-o-opening statement

**[00:31:11.420] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-000203)  
at mamaya na lang tayo magtanong

**[00:31:13.860] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-000204)  
pagkat nasabi na rin

lahat ng kinakailangan ipaliwanag.

**[00:31:23.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-000207)  
Probably we can start already the ball rolling.

**[00:31:25.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000208)  
Our Senate President,

**[00:31:27.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-000209)

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chairman.

**[00:31:52.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000222)  
Thank you very much for the opportunity, Mr. Senate

**[00:31:54.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000223)  
President. Madam Senator, Senator

**[00:31:56.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000224)  
Aimee, maraming salamat.

**[00:31:57.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000225)  
Maraming salamat po sa opportunity

**[00:31:59.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000226)  
yung binigay nyo sa amin na ipresenta.

**[00:32:02.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000227)  
Pipilitin po naming bilisan lang

**[00:32:03.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000228)  
in the interest of time.

**[00:32:05.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000229)  
Alam ko po, busy po ang ating mga senador

**[00:32:07.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000230)  
ngayong araw na ito.

**[00:32:11.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000231)  
Bago ko po ipresenta yung

**[00:32:13.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000232)  
budget, siguro po

**[00:32:16.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000233)  
ang importante nga po ma-emphasize namin

**[00:32:17.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000234)  
it's been a very, very difficult

**[00:32:19.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000235)  
year po for the Department

**[00:32:21.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000236)  
itong 2026. Kagaya po

**[00:32:23.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000237)  
ng sinabi ni Senator JV

**[00:32:25.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000238)  
at ni Senate President Sherwin.

**[00:32:27.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000239)  
Kasi nga po,

**[00:32:30.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000240)  
nag-re-recover,

**[00:32:31.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000241)  
sisimula pa po lang tayong

**[00:32:33.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000242)  
nag-re-recover dito sa

**[00:32:35.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000243)  
napakalaking skandalo

**[00:32:37.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000244)  
na dinatnan po natin last year

**[00:32:39.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000245)  
at dahil po doon talaga

**[00:32:41.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000246)  
admittedly,

**[00:32:43.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000247)  
talaga pong bumagal

**[00:32:44.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000248)  
ang paggalaw sa Departamento

**[00:32:47.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000249)  
sa buong bansa.

**[00:32:49.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000250)  
Dala na rin po yan ng

**[00:32:50.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000251)  
takot.

**[00:32:53.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000252)  
Dati po kasi, I guess,

**[00:32:55.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000253)  
walang takot.

**[00:32:57.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000254)  
Sa buong Departamento,

**[00:32:59.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000255)  
walang takot sa mga consequences

**[00:33:01.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000256)  
kung mayroong mga

**[00:33:02.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000257)  
maling ginawa.

**[00:33:05.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000258)  
Pero ikagawa din po,

**[00:33:07.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000259)  
talaga pong pinilit po namin

**[00:33:09.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000260)  
na

**[00:33:10.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000261)  
maging mas stricto.

**[00:33:13.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000262)  
Hindi lang po sa

**[00:33:15.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000263)  
pag-implement,

**[00:33:17.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000264)  
kundi sa pag-monitor. Alam nyo naman po,

**[00:33:20.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000265)  
dati po,

**[00:33:22.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000266)  
madalas nangyayari

**[00:33:23.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000267)  
bago pa

**[00:33:25.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000268)  
mag-implement,

**[00:33:27.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000269)  
maging kumpleto ang isang proyekto,

**[00:33:29.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000270)  
maraming instances po na

**[00:33:31.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000271)  
bayad na po ng buo

**[00:33:32.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000272)  
yung mga kontratista.

**[00:33:33.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000273)  
So, admittedly po,

**[00:33:35.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000274)  
mataas po talaga ang spending

**[00:33:36.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000275)  
nitong mga nakaraang mga taon,

**[00:33:39.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000276)  
pero nakita na po natin,

**[00:33:40.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000277)  
pagkatapos pong isiniwalat ng Pangulo mismo

**[00:33:42.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000278)  
ang skandalong ito,

**[00:33:45.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000279)  
yun na nga po ang nakita natin.

**[00:33:47.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000280)  
At the same time po,

**[00:33:50.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000281)  
talaga pong

**[00:33:51.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000282)  
ang hirap

**[00:33:53.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000283)  
sa laki po ng Departamento,

**[00:33:55.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000284)  
yung lingid po sa kaalaman,

**[00:33:57.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000285)  
ng mga kababayan natin is

**[00:33:59.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000286)  
DPWH po has a

**[00:34:01.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000287)  
personnel population of

**[00:34:03.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000288)  
more than 70,000 personnel.

**[00:34:05.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000289)  
That is how big po the

**[00:34:06.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000290)  
department is.

**[00:34:09.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000291)  
And para pong maraking

**[00:34:11.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000292)  
barko, mahirap po talagang

**[00:34:13.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000293)  
iliko ang ganitong

**[00:34:15.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000294)  
kalaking institusyon. Pero

**[00:34:17.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000295)  
nonetheless po, pinilit na po natin

**[00:34:19.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000296)  
talagang simulan ang

**[00:34:21.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000297)  
reforma. Although, umpisa pa lang po ito.

**[00:34:23.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000298)  
Marami po pong kailangan gawin.

**[00:34:25.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000299)  
So, with that po,

**[00:34:27.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000300)  
Mr. Chairman, dito po sa

**[00:34:29.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000301)  
budget for proposal for

**[00:34:31.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000302)  
2027, kagaya po

**[00:34:33.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000303)  
nung nasabi po ni Senator JV

**[00:34:35.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000304)  
kanina, marami na po kaming mga

**[00:34:37.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000305)  
pinilit na ipasok na reforma. Although,

**[00:34:39.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000306)  
sa aming pagagay po, hindi pa to

**[00:34:41.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000307)  
supesyente, kulang pa rin po ito.

**[00:34:43.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000308)  
At kung mamarapatin

**[00:34:45.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000309)  
din po ng ating mga

**[00:34:47.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000310)  
members ng ating Committee on Finance,

**[00:34:49.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000311)  
kung meron pa pong mga suggested sana

**[00:34:51.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000312)  
na pwede pa po natin idagdag na

**[00:34:53.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000313)  
layers of reform and

**[00:34:55.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000314)  
protection sa pera ng mga kababayan.

**[00:34:57.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000315)  
Eh, talaga pong ano, no.

**[00:35:00.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000316)  
Talaga pong maganda po yun

**[00:35:01.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000317)  
at i-implement din po namin yun

**[00:35:03.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000318)  
ng mabilis. So, with that

**[00:35:05.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000319)  
po, the total budget for the

**[00:35:07.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000320)  
post-budget for 2027

**[00:35:09.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000321)  
is 643.95

**[00:35:12.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000322)  
billion pesos

**[00:35:14.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000323)  
divided

**[00:35:15.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000324)  
into major

**[00:35:17.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000325)  
programs. Marami po dito, eh,

**[00:35:19.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000326)  
alam na po ng Committee on Finance, so

**[00:35:21.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000327)  
hindi ko na po papatagalin.

**[00:35:24.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000328)  
Pero, importante din po mag-highlight

**[00:35:25.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000329)  
po ako as I will do throughout the program.

**[00:35:27.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000330)  
I will do throughout the presentation.

**[00:35:28.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000331)  
Nung mga pagbabagong

**[00:35:30.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000332)  
mapapansin din po ng ating

**[00:35:32.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000333)  
ng ating Committee members.

**[00:35:35.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000334)  
So, ang pinakamataas po

**[00:35:37.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000335)  
dito ay yung National

**[00:35:39.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000336)  
Road Program, o yung

**[00:35:41.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000337)  
tinatawag nilang Code

**[00:35:42.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000338)  
001.

**[00:35:45.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000339)  
Yan po ang mga tulay at

**[00:35:47.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000340)  
kalye, National Road

sustainable infrastructure

**[00:37:41.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000396)  
and the

closing of gaps

**[00:37:45.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000398)

alam ko po, was under intense

**[00:37:49.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000400)  
scrutiny as well,

**[00:37:50.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000401)  
particularly by the Senate in the past.

**[00:37:53.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000402)  
Yun po ay tinanggal na po namin

**[00:37:55.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000403)  
at lahat po ay ginagay na lang po

**[00:37:57.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000404)  
natin sa basic

**[00:37:59.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000405)  
infrastructure program

**[00:38:01.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000406)  
in the interest of streamlining

**[00:38:03.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000407)  
the budget and also for greater

**[00:38:05.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000408)  
transparency.

**[00:38:06.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000409)  
Ang ikatlo pong pinakamalaki

**[00:38:08.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000410)  
ay yung flood

**[00:38:11.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000411)  
management program or yung

**[00:38:13.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000412)  
sinasabi po nilang

002

**[00:38:16.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000414)  
program.

**[00:38:20.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000415)  
Again po,

**[00:38:21.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000416)  
ito po ay equivalent

**[00:38:23.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000417)  
ngayon ay 83 point

**[00:38:25.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000418)  
84. Ito po ay yung mga

local flood mitigation, flood

**[00:38:29.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000420)  
management projects.

**[00:38:32.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000421)  
Ano ka nga po si

**[00:38:33.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000422)  
Senator Minority Leader

former SP, Alan

**[00:38:37.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000424)  
Peter Cayetano. Sir, maraming salamat po.

**[00:38:38.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000425)  
Ang importante po dito na reforma

**[00:38:45.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000426)  
na ginawa din po natin habang pinag-uusapan

**[00:38:47.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000427)  
natin yung kabuhan ng budget.

**[00:38:49.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000428)  
Dati po, meron din

**[00:38:51.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000429)  
pong mga flood mitigation

**[00:38:53.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000430)  
or flood control projects.

**[00:38:55.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000431)  
Na ginalagay either sa

**[00:38:57.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000432)  
SIPAG or sa

**[00:38:59.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000433)  
BIP.

**[00:39:01.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000434)  
Ito po ay pinoint out din po

**[00:39:03.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000435)  
ni dating Secretary Babe Simpson.

**[00:39:05.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000436)  
Ito po ay sinigurado

**[00:39:07.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000437)  
na po namin at tinanggal po namin

**[00:39:09.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000438)  
lahat ito. At ginagay na po

**[00:39:11.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000439)  
ito lahat under

**[00:39:12.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000440)  
002, Code

**[00:39:15.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000441)  
002 or yung flood management

**[00:39:17.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000442)  
program.

**[00:39:18.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000443)  
Again, in the interest of transparency

**[00:39:21.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000444)  
and streamlining, para po

**[00:39:23.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000445)  
wala nang

**[00:39:25.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000446)  
nakakalito o nakakalusot

**[00:39:27.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000447)  
para po lahat ng flood mitigation

**[00:39:29.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000448)  
ay nasa loob na po

**[00:39:31.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000449)  
ng flood management program.

**[00:39:33.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000450)  
That is 83.84 billion

**[00:39:35.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000451)  
pesos po. But I think

**[00:39:37.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000452)  
it's also important to note, meron

**[00:39:39.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000453)  
pong 19 billion

**[00:39:41.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000454)  
na flood management program

**[00:39:43.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000455)  
under the foreign assisted

**[00:39:45.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000456)  
projects program. Ito po

**[00:39:47.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000457)  
yung flood mitigation

**[00:39:49.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000458)  
at tulad halimbawa nung

**[00:39:51.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000459)  
Manggahan Floodway o yung

**[00:39:53.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000460)  
ating Marikina

**[00:39:54.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000461)  
flood mitigation

**[00:39:56.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000462)  
program. Yan po

**[00:39:59.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000463)  
ay nasa loob ng

**[00:40:00.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000464)  
foreign assisted

**[00:40:02.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000465)  
program. So total po

**[00:40:05.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000466)  
flood management is actually

**[00:40:06.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000467)  
103 billion.

**[00:40:09.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000468)  
Kung ikaw kumpara po natin

**[00:40:11.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000469)  
ang flood mitigation or flood control

**[00:40:13.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000470)  
projects, ngayong budget na ito

**[00:40:15.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000471)  
compared to previous

**[00:40:17.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000472)  
flood control projects,

**[00:40:19.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000473)  
ito po is a fraction of that.

**[00:40:21.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000474)  
I think the highest po

**[00:40:22.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000475)  
was in 2020.

**[00:40:24.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000476)  
In 2024 and 2025 na umabot

**[00:40:26.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000477)  
po ng mayigit 300 billion

**[00:40:28.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000478)  
o 350 billion pesos

**[00:40:30.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000479)  
ang flood control projects.

**[00:40:33.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000480)  
Local pa lang po yun.

**[00:40:34.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000481)  
Ngayon po, it is less than a third

**[00:40:36.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000482)  
of that at 83.84

**[00:40:38.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000483)  
for locally funded projects.

**[00:40:41.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000484)  
And the other programs na po,

**[00:40:42.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000485)  
I won't belabor this slide

**[00:40:45.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000486)  
na po, ay yung mga

**[00:40:46.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000487)  
other

**[00:40:48.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000488)  
programs po ng department.

**[00:40:51.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000489)  
Before I move to the next slide po,

**[00:40:52.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000490)  
I think it is also important to note,

**[00:40:54.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000491)  
that we have already po

**[00:40:56.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000492)  
removed all the other

**[00:40:58.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000493)  
convergence programs in the

**[00:41:00.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000494)  
DPWH budget.

**[00:41:02.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000495)  
Yung pong roll-it

**[00:41:04.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000496)  
ng DTI,

**[00:41:06.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000497)  
yung pong trip ng

**[00:41:07.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000498)  
tourism, yung pong katuparan

**[00:41:10.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000499)  
ng DOTR,

**[00:41:13.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000500)  
at matagal na rin pong

**[00:41:14.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000501)  
natanggal yung TICAS program

**[00:41:16.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000502)  
ng DND.

**[00:41:18.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000503)  
The reason for this po is

**[00:41:20.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000504)  
instead of being lodged

**[00:41:22.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000505)  
in the DPWH budget,

**[00:41:24.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000506)  
the DPM po

**[00:41:26.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000507)  
and DPWH thought it

**[00:41:28.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000508)  
more prudent and again more transparent

**[00:41:30.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000509)  
to have those

**[00:41:32.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000510)  
projects po lodged in their

**[00:41:34.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000511)  
respective departments. So,

**[00:41:36.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000512)  
if it is a tourism project,

**[00:41:38.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000513)  
road project, sa DOT na po yun.

**[00:41:41.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000514)  
If it is a road leading

**[00:41:42.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000515)  
to an airport or a port,

**[00:41:44.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000516)  
sa DOTR na po yun.

**[00:41:46.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000517)  
And if it is a road

**[00:41:48.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000518)  
leading to a

**[00:41:50.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000519)  
pezza zone or a echo zone,

**[00:41:52.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000520)  
sa DTI na po yun. And there is a

**[00:41:54.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000521)  
very important reason for that po.

**[00:41:56.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000522)  
Dahil po, nagre-reklamo po yung mga

**[00:41:58.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000523)  
departments na yun in the past

**[00:41:59.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000524)  
na yung kanilang mga priorities

**[00:42:02.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000525)  
for DTI, DOT,

**[00:42:05.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000526)  
DOTR,

**[00:42:07.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000527)  
hindi naman daw po

**[00:42:08.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000528)  
napapasok sa DPWH budget.

**[00:42:11.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000529)  
At iba po

**[00:42:12.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000530)  
ang mga project na napapasok yun

**[00:42:14.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000531)  
na hindi daw po nila priority.

**[00:42:16.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000532)  
So, ang naging solution po namin doon

**[00:42:18.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000533)  
as part of our reforms is

**[00:42:20.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000534)  
siya na po ang magsasabi

**[00:42:22.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000535)  
anong project yun. At kung gusto po

**[00:42:24.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000536)  
nila, ang DPWH

**[00:42:25.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000537)  
ang mag-implement doon, pwede naman po

**[00:42:28.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000538)  
silang makipagmowa sa DPWH

**[00:42:30.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000539)  
at i-download po yung

**[00:42:32.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000540)  
pondo na yun.

**[00:42:33.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000541)  
Post-budget enactment sa

**[00:42:35.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000542)  
implementation stage.

**[00:42:38.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000543)  
So, that po,

**[00:42:40.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000544)  
I will move on. Nandiyan naman po

**[00:42:42.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000545)  
yung detalya ng ibang mga

**[00:42:43.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000546)  
proyekto at

**[00:42:46.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000547)  
yung ibang budget items.

**[00:42:47.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000548)  
And I want to go straight po to the reforms

**[00:42:49.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000549)  
that we have initiated.

**[00:42:51.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000550)  
Next slide, please. Sorry, before that.

**[00:42:53.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000551)  
Next slide, please.

Next slide, please.

**[00:43:01.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000553)  
Ito na po, yung budget reforms.

**[00:43:03.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000554)  
Una-una po, we want to put it

**[00:43:05.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000555)  
on record po, na wala na po,

**[00:43:08.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000556)  
hindi na po ini-implement

**[00:43:09.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000557)  
ng ating planning division

**[00:43:11.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000558)  
yung tinatawag na

**[00:43:13.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000559)  
formula, parametric formula

**[00:43:16.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000560)  
na dinevelop po

**[00:43:17.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000561)  
ng yumaong former

**[00:43:19.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000562)  
USEC na si USEC,

**[00:43:21.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000563)  
Cathy Cabral. No, we have completely

**[00:43:23.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000564)  
scrapped that formula po

**[00:43:25.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000565)  
and we made it very simple

**[00:43:27.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000566)  
na lang po. At based

**[00:43:29.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000567)  
dito po sa budget na ito,

**[00:43:32.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000568)  
ang ginawa na lang po ng ating

**[00:43:33.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000569)  
bagong Undersecretary for Planning,

**[00:43:35.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000570)  
si Undersecretary Nick Conte,

**[00:43:37.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000571)  
na simple na lang po ang

**[00:43:39.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000572)  
naging criteria ng ating

**[00:43:41.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000573)  
mga district offices at

**[00:43:43.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000574)  
regional offices.

**[00:43:45.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000575)  
Kapag sila ay magsasubmit ng kanilang

**[00:43:47.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000576)  
priority list for

**[00:43:49.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000577)  
the budget. Una-una po

**[00:43:51.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000578)  
ay yung utos ng ating

**[00:43:53.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000579)  
formula, natapusin muna yung

**[00:43:55.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000580)  
mga unfinished projects.

**[00:43:57.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000581)  
Yun po muna ang priority

**[00:43:59.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000582)  
na binaba natin sa ating

**[00:44:01.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000583)  
mga district offices at regional

**[00:44:03.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000584)  
offices. Ikalawa po,

**[00:44:05.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000585)  
very critical po yung repair and

**[00:44:07.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000586)  
maintenance of critical infrastructure.

**[00:44:10.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000587)  
Kailangan po mapondohan yan.

**[00:44:12.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000588)  
At ikatlo po, at kasama

**[00:44:13.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000589)  
na rin po dyan, yung pagko-close

**[00:44:15.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000590)  
ng mga gaps.

**[00:44:17.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000591)  
Halimbawa po, merong

**[00:44:19.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000592)  
flood mitigation na

**[00:44:21.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000593)  
merong kulang o unfinished.

**[00:44:23.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000594)  
Kailangan po yun po muna

**[00:44:25.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000595)  
ang unahin. Kung meron pong

**[00:44:27.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000596)  
bypass road na pitin

**[00:44:29.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000597)  
pati hindi pa tapos, kailangan

**[00:44:31.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000598)  
po yun po muna ang unahin.

**[00:44:34.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000599)  
At ikatlo po, syempre po

**[00:44:35.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000600)  
yung mga immediate needs ng communities.

**[00:44:38.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000601)  
At kasama na rin po dito

**[00:44:39.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000602)  
yung mga basic infrastructure

**[00:44:41.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000603)  
program sa mga local

**[00:44:43.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000604)  
communities.

**[00:44:45.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000605)  
Next slide please.

**[00:44:48.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000606)  
Ikalawa pong major

**[00:44:49.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000607)  
reform, apart from yung

**[00:44:51.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000608)  
pagpa-prioritize kung ano ba yung mga

**[00:44:53.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000609)  
proyektong dapat unahin.

**[00:44:56.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000610)  
Yung pong very strict

**[00:44:57.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000611)  
project evaluation.

**[00:44:59.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000612)  
Dati po, alam mo,

**[00:45:00.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000613)  
naman po natin at nakita na po natin

**[00:45:01.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000614)  
itong mga nakaraang taon,

**[00:45:03.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000615)  
very typical po sa DPWH

**[00:45:05.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000616)  
pag nagsubmit po ng budget

**[00:45:07.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000617)  
ay project title lang

**[00:45:09.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000618)  
at project cost

**[00:45:11.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000619)  
ang laman.

**[00:45:15.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000620)  
Totoo po yan.

**[00:45:16.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000621)  
Inaamin po natin yan.

**[00:45:18.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000622)  
Pasintabi na lang po sa mga

**[00:45:19.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000623)  
dating taga DPWH, pero

**[00:45:21.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000624)  
totoo po talaga yan. Project title

**[00:45:24.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000625)  
lang at cost.

**[00:45:26.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000626)  
Yung other requirements,

**[00:45:28.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000627)  
follow na lang.

**[00:45:30.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000628)  
In fact, I was told there was even some instances

**[00:45:32.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000629)  
na talagang ano po,

**[00:45:34.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000630)  
wala na pong review process dyan ng DBM

**[00:45:36.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000631)  
in the past. Kung ano po ang

**[00:45:38.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000632)  
isasubmit na ng DPWH kahit na walang

**[00:45:40.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000633)  
supporting documents, yun na po

**[00:45:42.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000634)  
yun. Yun po ay talagang nagbago

**[00:45:44.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000635)  
this time. At nagtulungan po tayo ni

**[00:45:46.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000636)  
Secretary Kim De Leon na talagang

**[00:45:48.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000637)  
i-vet po ng maige and

**[00:45:50.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000638)  
very strict po ang ating project evaluation.

**[00:45:52.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000639)  
Unang-una po, yung ating

**[00:45:54.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000640)  
technical and project vetting,

**[00:45:56.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000641)  
we made it sure po na

**[00:45:58.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000642)  
especially for

**[00:45:59.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000643)  
flood mitigation, kailangan po

**[00:46:02.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000644)  
either kasama yung mga

**[00:46:03.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000645)  
proyektong yan sa mga river basin

**[00:46:06.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000646)  
master plans natin

**[00:46:07.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000647)  
or kasama po yan sa mga

**[00:46:10.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000648)  
city or municipal

**[00:46:11.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000649)  
drainage master plans

**[00:46:13.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000650)  
and or meron pong mga

**[00:46:16.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000651)  
feasibility studies.

**[00:46:18.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000652)  
Very, very important po yan

**[00:46:20.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000653)  
na kailangan kasama yan.

**[00:46:22.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000654)  
Ikalawa po, very important po

**[00:46:24.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000655)  
yung project information

**[00:46:26.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000656)  
and traceability.

**[00:46:28.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000657)  
Ibig sabihin po, dati po kasi

**[00:46:29.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000658)  
kagaya nung sinabi ko, madalas pong ginagawa

**[00:46:32.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000659)  
project title

**[00:46:34.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000660)  
and cost only.

**[00:46:36.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000661)  
Ngayon po, very strict po tayo

**[00:46:38.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000662)  
sa requirements and we will show you

**[00:46:40.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000663)  
the requirements later on.

**[00:46:42.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000664)  
Halimbawa po, yung station

**[00:46:44.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000665)  
limits na in-impose

**[00:46:46.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000666)  
po ng ating Senate President

**[00:46:48.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000667)  
nung siya ay

**[00:46:49.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000668)  
Chairman of the Committee on Finance last year.

**[00:46:52.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000669)  
Tinuloy po natin ang reformang yun.

**[00:46:55.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000670)  
But we went a step further

**[00:46:56.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000671)  
because in the budget

**[00:46:58.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000672)  
evaluation,

**[00:46:59.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000673)  
hindi po kami pumayag

**[00:47:02.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000674)  
na walang geotag

**[00:47:04.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000675)

certificate of

**[00:47:09.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000678)  
implementability na isasubmit

**[00:47:12.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000679)  
kasama ng bawat project.

**[00:47:15.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000680)  
And we can go

**[00:47:23.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000685)  
documentary requirements and I want to go to that

**[00:47:26.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000686)

**[00:47:27.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000687)  
Next slide, please.

**[00:47:27.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000688)  
Ito po yung stringent, very strict

**[00:47:31.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000689)  
project requirements.

**[00:47:33.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000690)  
Nagaya po nung nakita mismo

**[00:47:37.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000692)

**[00:47:39.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000693)  
project implementation stage,

**[00:47:41.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000694)  
madalas, wala pong

**[00:47:43.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000695)

**[00:47:44.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000696)  
at actual

**[00:47:46.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000697)  
plan yung mga proyekto.

**[00:47:49.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000698)  
Lalong-lalo na po, nung

**[00:47:50.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000699)  
budget pa lang, wala pong sinasubmit

**[00:47:52.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000700)  
na program of works. Ngayon po,

**[00:47:54.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000701)  
mandatory requirement po ang program of works.

**[00:47:56.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000702)  
Hindi po tat, makakapasok

**[00:47:58.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000703)  
ang isang proyekto sa

**[00:48:00.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000704)  
NEP.

**[00:48:03.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000705)  
Dapat po.

**[00:48:05.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000706)  
Dapat po, pero dati po

ang Madam Senator, wala po

**[00:48:08.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000708)

**[00:48:10.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000709)  
title lang madalas at cost

**[00:48:12.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000710)

magpapabid na.

**[00:48:18.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000713)  
Yun po ang madalas na ginagawa.

**[00:48:21.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000714)  
Opo, to follow po dati.

**[00:48:23.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000715)  
Ikalawa po, yung validated

**[00:48:24.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000716)

kung ano ang ginawa namin in detail

**[00:48:28.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000718)

**[00:48:31.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000719)  
Ikatlo po, yung

**[00:48:32.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000720)

very strict sila dito. Dati, wala po

202 compliance.

**[00:48:41.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000724)  
At ito po, and I will discuss

**[00:48:42.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000725)  
this in length in the next slide.

**[00:48:44.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000726)  
Yung certificate of implementability.

**[00:48:46.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000727)  
This is very important po, not only

**[00:48:48.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000728)  
to ensure transparency

**[00:48:50.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000729)  
and accountability of the implementing

**[00:48:52.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000730)  
office, specifically the

**[00:48:54.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000731)  
district engineers and the regional directors,

**[00:48:56.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000732)  
but it also ensures

**[00:48:58.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000733)  
better project

**[00:49:00.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000734)  
implementation. And finally po,

**[00:49:03.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000735)  
kailangan po either may master

**[00:49:04.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000736)  
plan, may feasibility study,

**[00:49:07.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000737)  
or it's equivalent in local

**[00:49:08.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000738)  
plans. Kunyari po, sa city

**[00:49:10.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000739)

**[00:49:12.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000740)  
halimbawa, kailangan po may

**[00:49:14.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000741)  
drainage master plan na basehan yan.

**[00:49:16.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000742)  
Hindi na po po pwede yung

gumagawa ng DK kung saan-saan.

**[00:49:25.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000746)  
Hindi na po po pwede doon.

**[00:49:26.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000747)  
Kailangan po ng either

Kailangan po yan. Utos po

Next slide, please.

**[00:49:45.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000756)  
Very important po,

ang bawat district

district engineer or regional director.

**[00:50:17.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000771)  
Kasama po dyan,

**[00:50:18.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000772)  
ang declaration na wala ng right of way

**[00:50:20.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000773)  
issue yan, kasi yan po, madalas pong

**[00:50:22.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000774)  
problema yan, no? Yung

**[00:50:24.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000775)  
shovel readiness ng proyekto, dahil wala

**[00:50:26.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000776)  
ng right of way issue.

**[00:50:26.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000777)  
Ito po eh. Ikalawa po,

**[00:50:29.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000778)  
kailangan po,

**[00:50:30.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000779)  
ia-attest nila na walang duplication

**[00:50:32.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000780)  
and no previous funding.

**[00:50:35.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000781)  
No? Kagaya na rin po yan,

**[00:50:36.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000782)  
nung mga na-point out ni

**[00:50:38.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000783)  
ni Senate President

**[00:50:40.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000784)  
last year, no?

**[00:50:42.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000785)  
And very critical yung

**[00:50:44.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000786)  
locations po, at yan po ay pipirmahan

**[00:50:46.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000787)  
mismo ng DE o

**[00:50:48.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000788)  
nung regional director. Importante

**[00:50:50.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000789)  
po yan dahil po, may kasama

**[00:50:52.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000790)

**[00:50:54.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000791)  
since may pirma siya, kung yan po ay

**[00:50:56.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000792)  
may problema later on,

**[00:50:59.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000793)  
halimbawa po,

**[00:51:00.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000794)  
may duplicate funding yan, or

**[00:51:02.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000795)  
mali yung location yan, kailangan

**[00:51:04.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000796)  
po, i-justify niya yan.

**[00:51:07.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000797)  
At kung may problema, then

**[00:51:08.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000798)  
that will be easily subject

**[00:51:10.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000799)  
of an investigation or

**[00:51:12.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000800)  
a potential

**[00:51:13.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000801)  
case against that particular

**[00:51:16.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000802)  
DE, dahil pirmado po niya yan

**[00:51:18.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000803)  
sa bawat proyekto ng kanyang

**[00:51:20.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000804)  
district or region.

**[00:51:22.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000805)  
Next slide, please.

**[00:51:25.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000806)  
Marami din po kami,

**[00:51:26.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000807)  
kaya kaya nung nasabi ko kanina,

**[00:51:28.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000808)  
na mga renationalize, no?

**[00:51:30.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000809)  
Sa convergence program po,

**[00:51:32.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000810)  
ang naihiwan na lang po

**[00:51:34.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000811)  
ay ang basic infrastructure program,

**[00:51:37.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000812)  
wala na po yung SIPAG,

**[00:51:38.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000813)  
na wala na rin po yung ibang mga

**[00:51:40.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000814)  
convergence programs, dahil yan po

**[00:51:42.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000815)  
ay nasa kanya-kanya ng

**[00:51:44.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000816)  
departamento nung convergence programs,

**[00:51:47.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000817)  
like DTI, DOT,

**[00:51:48.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000818)  
DOTR.

**[00:51:50.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000819)  
Ang natira na rin po yung

**[00:51:52.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000820)  
water systems as mandated by

**[00:51:54.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000821)  
the Rainwater Collection

**[00:51:56.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000822)  
and Springs Development Act,

**[00:51:59.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000823)  
yung Quick Response Fund

**[00:52:00.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000824)  
for Calamities,

**[00:52:02.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000825)  
at yung Ligtas Pinoy Centers,

**[00:52:04.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000826)  
and I will go into detail po, dahil ito po

**[00:52:06.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000827)  
ay na-flag din po,

**[00:52:08.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000828)  
I think, ni Senator Lacson,

**[00:52:10.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000829)  
yung mga

**[00:52:12.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000830)  
lump sum amount sa Ligtas

**[00:52:14.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000831)  
Pinoy Centers, which we want to

**[00:52:16.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000832)  
make this very

**[00:52:18.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000833)  
transparent.

**[00:52:20.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000834)  
And then, very important din po,

**[00:52:22.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000835)  
hindi na rin po kami pumayag

**[00:52:24.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000836)  
ng mga BIPs below 5M,

**[00:52:26.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000837)  
yung pong under the

**[00:52:28.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000838)  
BIP program, wala na pong

**[00:52:30.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000839)  
mga below 5M.

**[00:52:34.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000840)  
Next slide, please.

**[00:52:37.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000841)  
And then,

**[00:52:38.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000842)  
again, we re-align po the

**[00:52:40.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000843)  
convergence program, which I explained earlier.

**[00:52:42.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000844)  
Next slide, please.

**[00:52:45.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000845)  
As a result po,

**[00:52:46.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000846)  
I think,

**[00:52:48.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000847)  
Mr. Chairman, Senate Presidents,

**[00:52:50.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000848)  
Honorable Senators,

**[00:52:52.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000849)  
you will notice po, as a result of these reforms,

**[00:52:55.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000850)  
there is a dramatic

**[00:52:56.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000851)  
decrease in the number of

**[00:52:58.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000852)  
projects of DPWH.

**[00:53:00.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000853)  
In fact, even if the budget of

**[00:53:02.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000854)  
DPWH is roughly

**[00:53:04.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000855)  
20% higher than

**[00:53:06.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000856)  
last, this year,

**[00:53:08.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000857)  
2026,

**[00:53:10.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000858)  
itong numero ng projects ng DPWH

**[00:53:12.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000859)  
ngayon, ay mas maliit pa po

**[00:53:14.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000860)  
compared to

**[00:53:16.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000861)  
last year, at di hamak po

**[00:53:18.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000862)  
na mas maliit compared

**[00:53:20.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000863)  
to the previous years.

**[00:53:21.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000864)  
Nung taas ng budget

**[00:53:25.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000865)  
ng DPWH,

**[00:53:26.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000866)  
ang 2024 at 2025,

**[00:53:28.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000867)  
na umabot na mahigit 25,000

**[00:53:30.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000868)  
projects. Ngayon po,

**[00:53:32.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000869)  
mahigit 11,000

**[00:53:33.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000870)  
projects na rin po ang DPWH

**[00:53:36.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000871)  
ngayon, almost just a third

**[00:53:38.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000872)  
of the height of the

**[00:53:40.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000873)  
number of projects

**[00:53:42.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000874)  
in previous years.

**[00:53:44.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000875)  
So, I think this is also indicative

**[00:53:46.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000876)  
of the reforms that we have

**[00:53:48.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000877)  
instituted, dahil nga po, very, very

**[00:53:50.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000878)  
stringent na po tayo sa mga

**[00:53:52.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000879)  
requirements, at talagang pinaprioritize

**[00:53:55.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000880)  
po natin yung mga

**[00:53:56.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000881)  
mararaki at importanteng project.

**[00:53:58.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000882)  
Although, syempre po, meron naman pong mga

**[00:54:00.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000883)  
maliit pa, such as the rainwater

**[00:54:02.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000884)  
collection projects na

**[00:54:04.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000885)  
below 5 million, and

**[00:54:06.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000886)  
other local infrastructure projects

**[00:54:08.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000887)  
under the BIP, or the

**[00:54:10.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000888)  
Basic Infrastructure Program.

**[00:54:12.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000889)  
Pero, kitang-kita po talaga ang diferensya.

**[00:54:15.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000890)  
There is a marked reduction

**[00:54:16.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000891)  
in the number of projects.

**[00:54:19.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000892)  
Next slide, please.

**[00:54:21.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000893)  
And this is just the allocation

**[00:54:22.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000894)  
across the island groups.

**[00:54:24.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000895)  
We were trying our best

**[00:54:27.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000896)  
to equalize this some more.

**[00:54:29.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000897)  
In the next slide, you will see po,

**[00:54:31.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000898)  
ang Visayas po ngayon ay nasa

**[00:54:33.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000899)  
20% na.

**[00:54:34.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000900)  
Ang Mindanao ay mataas.

**[00:54:36.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000901)  
It's a little over 27%,

**[00:54:38.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000902)  
close to 28%. Next slide, please.

**[00:54:41.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000903)  
And bumaba na po ang Luzon

**[00:54:42.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000904)  
from 57% to 52.6%.

**[00:54:46.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000905)  
At bumaba na po

**[00:54:47.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000906)  
ang

**[00:54:48.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000907)  
NCR, compared to

**[00:54:50.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000908)  
previous years.

**[00:54:53.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000909)  
Next slide, please.

**[00:54:54.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000910)  
I also would like to

**[00:55:00.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000911)  
pay close attention po, and I think

**[00:55:02.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000912)  
this is of much interest po to the

**[00:55:04.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000913)  
honorable members of the Committee on Finance,

**[00:55:07.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000914)  
yung pong ginawa nating mga

**[00:55:08.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000915)  
reforma sa

**[00:55:09.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000916)  
flood mitigation program. Alam nyo naman po

**[00:55:12.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000917)  
na pinahinto po ng ating

**[00:55:14.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000918)  
Pangulo at pinatanggal po

**[00:55:15.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000919)  
nung nakaraang budget season

**[00:55:18.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000920)  
ngayong 2026

**[00:55:20.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000921)  
ang mga flood mitigation

**[00:55:21.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000922)  
projects for

**[00:55:23.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000923)  
2026.

**[00:55:24.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000924)  
Pero ngayon po, meron na po

**[00:55:27.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000925)  
at nasabi ko na po yung

**[00:55:29.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000926)  
amounts. It is much

**[00:55:31.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000927)  
lower than the previous flood mitigation

**[00:55:33.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000928)  
budget, but kailangan

**[00:55:35.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000929)  
na rin naman po talaga

**[00:55:36.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000930)  
itong mga project na ito.

**[00:55:39.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000931)  
But these are the reforms that

**[00:55:41.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000932)  
we have initiated.

**[00:55:43.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000933)  
This is by no means

**[00:55:45.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000934)  
100%

**[00:55:47.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000935)  
perfect, but I

**[00:55:49.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000936)  
think we feel po this

**[00:55:51.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000937)  
is a strong start, but

**[00:55:53.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000938)  
again, if there are other

**[00:55:54.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000939)  
reforms that the Committee wants to

**[00:55:56.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000940)  
propose, please do po and we will implement

**[00:55:58.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000941)  
them right away po.

**[00:56:00.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000942)  
But these are the reforms, the six

**[00:56:02.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000943)  
major reforms that we implemented

**[00:56:04.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000944)  
under the flood mitigation program.

**[00:56:06.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000945)  
First, we really

**[00:56:08.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000946)  
went back, and I will

**[00:56:10.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000947)  
discuss the

**[00:56:12.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000948)  
various master plans that

**[00:56:14.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000949)  
have already been

**[00:56:15.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000950)  
lodged under the DPWH

**[00:56:18.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000951)  
for previous years, and

**[00:56:20.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000952)  
we really focused on

**[00:56:23.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000953)  
these master plans to

**[00:56:24.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000954)  
implement the projects under these

**[00:56:26.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000955)  
master plans. Unfortunately,

**[00:56:28.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000956)  
hindi po lahat ng area ay may

**[00:56:30.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000957)  
ganito kalaking master plans.

**[00:56:32.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000958)  
There are only 19 areas.

**[00:56:36.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000959)  
And pagkakita po,

**[00:56:36.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000960)  
pinahanap po natin over

**[00:56:38.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000961)  
the course of the past year

**[00:56:40.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000962)  
itong mga iba't-ibang master plan na ito

**[00:56:42.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000963)  
and I will go into detail

**[00:56:44.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000964)  
about them in the next few slides.

**[00:56:47.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000965)  
Ikalawa po,

**[00:56:48.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000966)  
ang priority po natin yung closing the

**[00:56:50.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000967)  
gaps. I think the

**[00:56:52.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000968)  
Honorable Chairman of the Committee on Finance,

**[00:56:54.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000969)  
has also advocated for

**[00:56:56.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000970)  
this, na dapat ito talaga ang priority

**[00:56:58.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000971)  
at pareho po tayo ng

**[00:57:00.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000972)  
priority ng ating chairman

**[00:57:02.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000973)  
ng Committee on Finance.

**[00:57:06.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000974)  
Nagangan po,

**[00:57:07.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000975)  
merong program of works

**[00:57:08.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000976)  
and approved plans subject

**[00:57:10.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000977)  
to either the river basin

**[00:57:13.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000978)  
master plans or

**[00:57:14.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000979)  
the drainage master plans

**[00:57:16.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000980)  
in every LGU.

**[00:57:19.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000981)  
Importante po yan kasi

**[00:57:20.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000982)  
madagas po na naging reports ng

**[00:57:22.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000983)  
mga LGUs nung nakaraan at ina-reported.

**[00:57:24.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000984)  
So po ang mga governors,

**[00:57:26.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000985)  
eh, nagugulat na rin

**[00:57:28.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000986)  
daw po sila na mayroong

**[00:57:29.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000987)  
BTWH flood control project sa kanilang

**[00:57:32.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000988)  
lugar. Ito po talagang

**[00:57:34.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000989)  
sinigurado namin and

**[00:57:36.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000990)  
we made sure also na coordinated

**[00:57:38.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000991)  
that is actually the fifth reform

**[00:57:40.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000992)  
but these are closely

**[00:57:42.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000993)  
coordinated with the regional,

**[00:57:45.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000994)  
provincial, and

**[00:57:46.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000995)  
local government units.

**[00:57:48.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000996)  
Kaya nga po, at the very least,

**[00:57:50.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000997)  
kailangan po ng certificate of no objection.

**[00:57:53.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000998)  
Or,

**[00:57:54.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-000999)  
endorsement, better if meron pong

**[00:57:56.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001000)  
endorsement ng LDC,

**[00:57:59.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001001)  
ng PDC, o ng RDC

**[00:58:01.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001002)  
ang mga proyektong ito.

**[00:58:04.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001003)  
And,

**[00:58:04.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001004)  
meron din po kaming greater

**[00:58:07.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001005)  
focus on

**[00:58:08.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001006)  
integrated water resource management.

**[00:58:11.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001007)  
Ito po yung pagtatayo ng mga

**[00:58:12.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001008)  
detention basins, water

**[00:58:14.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001009)  
impounding,

**[00:58:16.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001010)  
sabo dams, kagaya po nung

**[00:58:18.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001011)  
sinasabi ng Pangulo na

**[00:58:20.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001012)  
ginawa sa Irocos Norte na maraming

**[00:58:23.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001013)  
mga sabo dams,

**[00:58:24.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001014)  
at yun din po ang aming coordination

**[00:58:26.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001015)  
kay

**[00:58:27.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001016)  
NIA Administrator

**[00:58:30.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001017)  
Eddie Guillen. We are

**[00:58:32.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001018)  
working a lot together

**[00:58:33.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001019)  
to build these

**[00:58:35.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001020)  
dams in the upstream

**[00:58:38.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001021)  
in order to not just

**[00:58:40.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001022)  
block the

**[00:58:42.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001023)  
water from the

**[00:58:44.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001024)  
upstream, but also use

**[00:58:46.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001025)  
it for irrigation purposes and other

**[00:58:48.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001026)  
purposes. And finally po,

**[00:58:51.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001027)  
yung pag-actual

**[00:58:52.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001028)  
geotag, hindi na po yung lukohan,

**[00:58:54.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001029)  
na geotag, na

**[00:58:56.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001030)  
binadayaran dati. And we can

**[00:58:58.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001031)  
explain this further

**[00:59:00.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001032)  
later on po kung anong ginawa namin.

**[00:59:04.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001033)  
Next slide, please.

**[00:59:08.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001034)  
Mamarapatin po ako ng committee, if I could just

**[00:59:10.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001035)  
quickly go through

**[00:59:11.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001036)  
flood management plans across the

**[00:59:14.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001037)  
country.

**[00:59:16.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001038)  
So there are 19

**[00:59:18.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001039)  
flood management plans

**[00:59:20.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001040)  
all over the country covering

**[00:59:22.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001041)  
19 major

**[00:59:24.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001042)  
river basins. And these are the

**[00:59:26.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001043)  
this is the breakdown po, all the way

**[00:59:28.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001044)  
from

**[00:59:28.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001045)  
Northern Luzon all the way to Mindanao.

**[00:59:33.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001046)  
Now these are the

**[00:59:34.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001047)  
existing flood management

**[00:59:36.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001048)  
plans in the 19 major

**[00:59:38.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001049)  
river basins. Next

**[00:59:40.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001050)  
slide, please. Out of the 19

**[00:59:41.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001051)  
flood management plans,

**[00:59:44.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001052)  
next slide, please.

**[00:59:48.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001053)  
There are 13

**[00:59:50.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001054)  
out of the 19 that

**[00:59:52.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001055)  
have already been updated.

**[00:59:54.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001056)  
Already been updated.

**[00:59:57.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001057)  
And

**[00:59:57.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001058)  
these are Panay,

**[01:00:00.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001059)  
These are Panay, Jalaur, Buayan-Malungon, Agusan, Agno, Ilog-Hilabangan, Apayao-Abulug, Pampanga, Abra, Cagayan de Oro, Agus River Basin, Tagum-Libuganon, and Bicol.

**[01:00:18.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001060)  
Na-update na po ito. At marami po dito, ano po, ini-implement na po natin. At simula na po natin finally. Kasi marami po dito talaga ay natenga ng matagal, unfortunately.

**[01:00:34.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001061)  
Next slide, please.

**[01:00:35.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001062)  
There are three undergoing updates currently. This includes the Metro Manila and surrounding areas. Kasama din po ata ang Rizal dito.

**[01:00:48.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001063)  
And Cavite, Cagayan, Cagayan Valley po sa Region 2, and Davao in Region 11.

**[01:00:58.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001064)  
Next.

**[01:01:02.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001065)  
Next slide, please.

**[01:01:08.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001066)  
So ito po ang ating examples po ng mga nakapaloob sa budget natin.

**[01:01:16.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001067)  
Halimbawa po ito, itong G. Araneta Avenue na alam naman po natin, [unclear] sa mga kababayan natin taga-Quezon City. Ito po talaga yung pinakagrabeng binabaha.

**[01:01:27.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001068)  
Lumalampas-lampas tao po. Ito po sa G. Araneta, minsan may mga bus po mismo. Kahit bus po, lumulutang dito sa G. Araneta.

**[01:01:36.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001069)  
Pero sinimulan na po natin itong ayusin. Pero kailangan pa rin pong ayusin ito. Ang ginawa namin dito ngayon ay in close coordination na po

**[01:01:46.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001070)  
Ito po sa Quezon City through its Quezon City Drainage Master Plan.

**[01:01:53.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001071)  
Next slide, please.

**[01:01:56.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001072)  
Another example po, ito pong construction of detention basin natin sa Ermita.

**[01:02:05.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001073)  
Ito po ay...

**[01:02:06.780] Unresolved** (asr-001074)  
Mag-i-picture na yun.

**[01:02:10.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001075)  
Tama na yun?

**[01:02:11.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001076)  
Ah, okay.

**[01:02:12.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001077)  
Okay.

**[01:02:13.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001078)  
So, ito po ay base din sa Manila.

**[01:02:16.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001079)  
Ito po ang City Drainage Master Plan for a detention basin. Ito po yung mga imbaka ng tubig kung saan maraming pong nagsasabi sa mga eksperto natin na it's a critical intervention.

**[01:02:28.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001080)  
Unfortunately po, halos wala pong nagawang ganito in the previous years. Ngayon po, marami po tayong mga gagawin na ganito for 2027.

**[01:02:36.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001081)  
All over, hindi lang po sa Metro Manila, kundi lalong-lalo na po sa Central Luzon.

**[01:02:42.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001082)  
Next slide, please.

**[01:02:44.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001083)  
Ito po ang mga sabo dams.

**[01:02:46.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001084)  
Nueva Ecija.

**[01:02:47.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001085)  
Ito po yung sa Central Luzon under the part of the Pampanga River Basin Master Plan.

**[01:02:54.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001086)  
Ito po ay magpe-prevent po ng pagragasa ng tubig sa Pampanga River and its tributaries all the way from the upstream sa Capaldon at sa Bungapon sa Nueva Ecija.

**[01:03:05.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001087)  
We are closely coordinating po with NIA here para po magawa po ng tama ang mga ito.

**[01:03:11.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001088)  
Building on...

**[01:03:14.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001089)  
On ano po?

**[01:03:15.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001090)  
On mga best practices.

**[01:03:17.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001091)  
And there will be five sabo dams.

**[01:03:20.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001092)  
First time po ito. Matagal na po ito actually na pinag-uusapan.

**[01:03:24.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001093)  
Pero po, unfortunately, hindi po na-implement.

**[01:03:27.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001094)  
Ngayon mag-implement na po tayo ng limang sabo dam sa Capaldon at sa Bungapon sa upstream po ng Pampanga River and its tributaries.

**[01:03:39.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001095)  
Next slide, please.

**[01:03:42.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001096)  
Sa Naga City po, under the Pico River...

**[01:03:45.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001097)  
Basin Master Plan.

**[01:03:47.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001098)  
We will also be building...

**[01:03:48.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001099)  
Para po ang Naga at Camarines Sur ay isang maraking flood basin o floodplain.

**[01:03:54.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001100)  
Kailangan po din tayong magkaroon ng maraming mga interventions po dito.

**[01:04:01.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001101)  
And one of them is a retarding basin in Naga City.

**[01:04:05.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001102)  
Under the Pico River Basin Master Plan.

**[01:04:09.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001103)  
Next slide, please.

**[01:04:11.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001104)  
And then, sa Cebu po, very important po ito.

**[01:04:14.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001105)  
Nakita po natin yung disgrasya ng Bagyong Tino last year.

**[01:04:19.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001106)  
Ito po yung devastation in the Mananga River sa Talisay, sa Cebu.

**[01:04:29.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001107)  
Grabe po ang devastation dito.

**[01:04:32.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001108)  
At marami na po ang proposal dito under the Cebu Integrated Flood and Drainage System Master Plan.

**[01:04:40.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001109)  
Isa po dito ay yung Mananga Dam.

**[01:04:42.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001110)  
At ito po ay finally gagawin.

**[01:04:44.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001111)  
Gagawin na rin po natin under that Master Plan.

**[01:04:48.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001112)  
Next slide, please.

**[01:04:50.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001113)  
And finally po, as an example, in Bidanao, meron pong Illigan City Drainage Master Plan.

**[01:04:55.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001114)  
At alam din po natin ang gabing tama ng Bagyong Basyang.

**[01:05:00.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001115)  
Nung ito lang pong 2026 nitong February na talagang nag-swell po ang Illigan River.

**[01:05:07.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001116)  
And we will be doing a lot of riverbank protection along the Illigan River.

**[01:05:11.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001117)  
As part, again, based on the Illigan City.

**[01:05:14.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001118)  
Illigan City Drainage Master Plan.

**[01:05:19.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001119)  
And finally, under the Cagayan River in Camalaniugan, this is in Northern Luzon.

**[01:05:28.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001120)  
Under the Cagayan River Master Plan, we will also be closing the gaps.

**[01:05:34.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001121)  
As emphasized by Senator JV, marami pong gaps dito na kailangan natin isara.

**[01:05:43.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001122)  
At ito po ay mga kasama din sa mga popondohan po natin.

**[01:05:49.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001123)  
Next slide, please.

**[01:05:52.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001124)  
Next slide.

**[01:05:55.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001125)  
And then meron din po sa Tumaga River.

**[01:05:57.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001126)  
Sa Zamboanga City as examples na mga closing the gaps.

**[01:06:05.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001127)  
Quickly po, I'll just go through the foreign-assisted flood management projects

**[01:06:10.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001128)  
because I know this is an advocacy of Senator.

**[01:06:13.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001129)  
I mean, there have been a lot of questions raised po on this in the past.

**[01:06:17.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001130)  
And we wanted to make sure po that we're very transparent with this.

**[01:06:21.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001131)  
If I can just ask Senior Undersecretary Emil Sadain to give a report,

**[01:06:30.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001132)  
especially to Senator Imee and Senator JV on the progress of this very,

**[01:06:37.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001133)  
with the corresponding details, Mr. Chairman.

**[01:06:42.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001134)  
So, next slide.

**[01:06:43.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001135)  
Next slide, please.

**[01:06:47.240] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001136)  
Good morning, Mr. Chair, Senate President, Ma'am.

**[01:06:53.000] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001137)  
Magandang umaga po.

**[01:06:54.440] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001138)  
For the Pasig-Marikina River Channel Improvement Project,

**[01:06:57.100] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001139)  
this is the last Pasig-Marikina stages out of the five packages that we had actually proposed

**[01:07:04.360] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001140)  
for undertaking within Metro Manila area,

**[01:07:08.580] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001141)  
covering the river from Pasig River all the way to Pasig.

**[01:07:13.360] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001142)  
That's the Marikina River.

**[01:07:14.760] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001143)  
The projects here embodied the constructions of about six kilometers,

**[01:07:20.560] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001144)  
closing the gap of the river channel improvement works downstream of Rosario

**[01:07:24.600] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001145)  
all the way to Santo Nino,

**[01:07:26.780] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001146)  
including the constructions of the Marikina control gate structures

**[01:07:30.020] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001147)  
that would regulate the flood water coming down from Marikina River to Pasig River down to Manila Bay.

**[01:07:36.980] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001148)  
So, the constructions of these projects will be fully completed in 2030,

**[01:07:43.360] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001149)  
And after these completions, there's one more lacking Phase 6, we call it Phase 6, which is the most ultimate one, that is actually the constructions of the two dams in the upper Marikina River Channel, which will now regulate the flood water of 50 million cubic meters on the top of Mount Oro, and constructions of four retarding basins, and the completions of the entire 35 kilometers channel improvement for Pasig.

**[01:08:13.360] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001150)  
Marikina River Channel. And this will also complement, Mr. Chair, to add to the functionality of the Pasig-Marikina entire river basin, the upcoming detailed design works for next year of the Para?aque Spillway. The spillway will address the regulated flow of floodwater that goes through Manila to Laguna de Bay and discharge big volumes of floodwater to Manila Bay through the nine-kilometer Para?aque underground tunnel.

**[01:08:44.500] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001151)  
So the projects here, for these particular projects, once this is completed, and with that Paranaque Spillway complementary, it will bring down the flood water elevations of Pasig River by half full bank capacity, and eventually will allow large volumes of flooding from the inland cities of Metro Manila, particularly Quezon City, Manila, San Juan, and part of Makatiang Mandaluyong.

**[01:09:10.080] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001152)  
So with that very low elevations of flood water,

**[01:09:13.360] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001153)  
Pasig River, it can absorb more flood water from the inland side, and that can deduce drastically large volumes of water in the inland, kasi karamihan po niyan, ang cost talagang ng baha, especially from Marikina sections, pag full blast ang baba niya, it will actually inundate in the downstream stretch of Pasig River.

**[01:09:33.280] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001154)  
Because of the high flow of Pasig River, the water that comes from San Juan River has been actually stopped at the confluence.

**[01:09:42.040] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001155)  
So nagba-backflow po siya pataas.

**[01:09:43.360] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001156)  
So with this completion of this project, Mr. Chair, this can be a big relief for flooding of Metro Manila, although we are not telling na ito po ang solution, but because we are also embarking with Secretary's guidance to work also on the drainage master plan of the 17 cities for Metro Manila.

**[01:10:10.360] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001157)  
Kasi yun na lang po yung nakikita natin, yung 17 cities.

**[01:10:13.360] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001158)  
Na drainage master plan nila, karamihan po dito because of the rapid urbanization, maliit na lang, o kaya minsan barado, and we have to look more deeper on that, where ADB, JICA, and World Bank are also helping us to come up with this study.

**[01:10:27.140] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-001159)  
Itong November po, matatapos yung study na nagagawa po.

**[01:10:31.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001160)  
Yes, maraming salamat po.

**[01:10:32.700] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001161)  
Ako ang tinukoy ninyo ni Secretary at saka ni USEC.

**[01:10:36.520] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001162)  
Pasensya na makulit ako dito sa UPMO.

**[01:10:39.420] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001163)  
Dahil nagumpisa pa yan sa dekada 70, yung manggahan.

**[01:10:43.360] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001164)  
At yung Marikina Floodway.

**[01:10:44.980] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001165)  
Panahon pa yung tatay ko, nalipas na yung tatay ko.

**[01:10:47.920] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001166)  
Nakatutok dyan si na Architect Palafox at yung sangkatutak na Secretary of Public Works.

**[01:10:53.400] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001167)  
Tumanda na rin ako, hindi pa nabubuo.

**[01:10:55.400] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001168)  
At ngayon sinasabi mo, 2030, 2031, matatapos.

**[01:10:59.560] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001169)  
Kaya kung maari, magbigay na lang kayo ng report para maintindihan po namin.

**[01:11:04.480] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001170)  
Baka naman sa susunod na buhay pa yan matapos.

**[01:11:08.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001171)  
We will do po, Madam Senator.

**[01:11:10.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001172)  
I know the Senator has been advocating.

**[01:11:13.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001173)  
Ang report nga po sa akin ni Undersecretary Emil is yung manggahan floodway is already 100%.

**[01:11:22.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001174)  
As of?

**[01:11:24.160] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001175)  
Matagal na yun, 1986.

**[01:11:26.560] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001176)  
Pero yung ito, ilang percent na po itong Marikina River?

**[01:11:32.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001177)  
60% na po.

**[01:11:33.420] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001178)  
Kung maari, bigyan na lang kami.

**[01:11:34.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001179)  
I will give you a detailed report.

**[01:11:35.980] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001180)  
Kasi matagal nang tinuturo yung UPMO, ng ADB, the World Bank, saka ng JICA.

**[01:11:42.480] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001181)  
Tulad ng nabanggit.

**[01:11:43.360] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-001182)  
Tulad ng nabanggit ni USEC na yun nga ang isang lugar kung saan ang korupsyon ay namamayagpag.

**[01:11:52.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001183)  
We will do po.

**[01:11:53.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001184)  
We will give you a very, very detailed report, Madam Senator.

**[01:11:57.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001185)  
Chairman, if I can just proceed.

**[01:11:59.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-001186)  
Yes, please proceed.

**[01:12:02.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001187)  
Opo, siguro okay na nga po.

**[01:12:04.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001188)  
I mean, we can proceed.

**[01:12:05.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001189)  
Mga updates ka naman to.

**[01:12:06.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001190)  
So we will just provide a written report on the UPMO projects to the committee and to Senator.

**[01:12:13.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001191)  
Ah, Marcos.

**[01:12:14.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001192)  
Next slide, please.

**[01:12:16.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001193)  
Pagdina nga po ito.

**[01:12:18.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001194)  
Ito po yung nasabi na po.

**[01:12:19.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001195)  
Ito, very important po.

**[01:12:21.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001196)  
Ito na po ang latest update, Mr. Chairman, Senate President, Senator Aimee, sa status of procurement and project implementation for 2026.

**[01:12:33.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001197)  
If I can just, ano po, kaya naman po ako ni Chairman at ni Senate President, ay hindi po, ayoko pong nagbibigay ng excuses.

**[01:12:42.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001198)  
But, sasabihin.

**[01:12:43.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001199)  
Sasabihin ko lang po yung totoo.

**[01:12:45.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001200)  
Umagal po talaga ang implementation ng DPWH ngayong 2026.

**[01:12:52.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001201)  
Talaga pong delayed na delayed.

**[01:12:54.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001202)  
But if I may go lang po to the next slide, just for the, to show you the reasons of the delay.

**[01:13:02.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001203)  
Ito po yung apat na rason.

**[01:13:04.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001204)  
And again, hindi po ito excuse.

**[01:13:07.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001205)  
I am not making excuses here po.

**[01:13:09.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001206)  
I'm just stating po, ito po talaga yung naging totoong mga rason.

**[01:13:13.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001207)  
Una-una po, hindi po ito nakapag-early procurement ang DPWH unlike previous years.

**[01:13:18.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001208)  
As the committee is very familiar, initially po ang DPWH, November pa lang, e nag-early procurement na short of award.

**[01:13:26.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001209)  
Hindi po natin nagawa yun for 2026.

**[01:13:31.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001210)  
For obvious reasons.

**[01:13:32.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001211)  
No.

**[01:13:37.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001212)  
Saros, and the main reason for this is the allotment releases.

**[01:13:41.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001213)  
Releases were only released to us in late May, early June.

**[01:13:48.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001214)  
At ito po yung saros kasi, rinirelease na agad.

**[01:13:51.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001215)  
Saros were only planned releasing in late May and early June.

**[01:13:55.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001216)  
Third, strict documentation na po talaga rinirequire namin.

**[01:14:01.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001217)  
Hindi na po may pwede yung mga dati na kung ano-ano na lang ang documentary requirements sa procurement.

**[01:14:09.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001218)  
And fourth, and fourth po, and this is not...

**[01:14:11.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001219)  
Ayoko po, hindi ko po intensyon na magturo.

**[01:14:15.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001220)  
Pero, this is just stating a fact.

**[01:14:20.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001221)  
Alam nyo naman po na ang PCAB, na naging party din po nung investigation.

**[01:14:27.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001222)  
Opo, ang PCAB po under DTI na nagkaroon ng maraking pagbabago at maraming pong natanggal, maraming napagitan.

**[01:14:37.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001223)  
But wait, there are still more than...

**[01:14:41.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001224)  
There are more than 1,500 pending licenses in PCAB na hindi pa po nai-issue until today.

**[01:14:55.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001225)  
So, ang problema po dito ay...

**[01:15:00.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001226)  
the requirements under the Procurement Act,

**[01:15:02.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001227)  
kung wala ka pong lisensya

**[01:15:03.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001228)  
na up-to-date, hindi ka pong

**[01:15:05.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001229)  
makaka-bid. Ikalawa,

**[01:15:08.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001230)  
lalo-lalo na kung

**[01:15:09.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001231)  
kahit na short of award yan,

**[01:15:12.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001232)  
kung wala kang lisensya,

**[01:15:14.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001233)  
hindi ka maa-awardan. So, we will have to start.

**[01:15:16.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001234)  
In fact, marami pong mga bidding

**[01:15:17.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001235)  
that had to

**[01:15:18.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001236)  
start over. Kasi po,

**[01:15:22.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001237)  
wala pong mga lisensya ang mga

**[01:15:23.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001238)  
kontratista.

**[01:15:25.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001239)  
Dahil po, ang laki pa po ng

**[01:15:27.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001240)  
natitira, 1,500

**[01:15:30.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001241)  
po as of today, yun ang

**[01:15:31.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001242)  
aming nakumang information

**[01:15:33.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001243)  
from PCAB. So, this is not

**[01:15:35.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001244)  
meant to point fingers, but it is just stating

**[01:15:37.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001245)  
facts. And I think we need to work together

**[01:15:39.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001246)  
po with PCAB to find

**[01:15:41.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001247)  
a way to speed that up.

**[01:15:45.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001248)  
So,

**[01:15:45.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001249)  
if I could go back to the previous slide.

**[01:15:47.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001250)  
So, ito po ang status natin ngayon.

**[01:15:50.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001251)  
Nonetheless,

**[01:15:51.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001252)  
right now po, at

**[01:15:52.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001253)  
76%

**[01:15:55.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001254)  
of awarded

**[01:15:57.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001255)  
projects,

**[01:15:58.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001256)  
13,553

**[01:16:01.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001257)  
out of the 17,765

**[01:16:04.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001258)  
nationwide

**[01:16:05.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001259)  
have already been awarded.

**[01:16:06.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001260)  
Meron po lang po akong asterisk dito.

**[01:16:11.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001261)  
Mr. Chairman,

**[01:16:13.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001262)  
this includes

**[01:16:13.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001263)  
projects that are still pending

**[01:16:15.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001264)  
award, pero tapos na po

**[01:16:17.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001265)  
ang proseso because of the current

**[01:16:19.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001266)  
election ban in place.

**[01:16:21.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001267)  
Meaning, kapag ka po na-lift na yung

**[01:16:23.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001268)  
ban, ano na po ito?

**[01:16:25.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001269)  
Awarded na po ito at mag-re-register.

**[01:16:27.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001270)  
Ito na po ang disbursement

**[01:16:29.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001271)  
ng initial 15%

**[01:16:30.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001272)  
mobilization ng DPWH.

**[01:16:35.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001273)  
Napirman na ba?

**[01:16:37.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001274)  
Ah, sorry po. I was just

**[01:16:39.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001275)  
informed po that the President has already

**[01:16:41.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001276)  
signed as of

**[01:16:42.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001277)  
today, the lifting

**[01:16:44.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001278)  
of the ban. But meron po po

**[01:16:46.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001279)  
siyempre yung publication yan.

**[01:16:49.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001280)  
Election ban po has been

**[01:16:50.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001281)  
the lifting of the election ban, I think,

**[01:16:53.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001282)  
for infrastructure projects.

**[01:16:55.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001283)  
Ah, sorry. The postponement of the election,

**[01:16:57.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001284)  
of the barangay election

**[01:16:59.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001285)  
has already been

**[01:16:59.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001286)  
nasigned na po ni Pangulo. And therefore,

**[01:17:03.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001287)  
after publication po

**[01:17:05.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001288)  
in the next few days, makakapag-award

**[01:17:07.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001289)  
na po tayo.

**[01:17:09.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001290)  
So that will

**[01:17:11.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001291)  
drastically, again, speed up our

**[01:17:13.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001292)  
process. And then

**[01:17:15.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001293)  
as a result po,

**[01:17:16.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001294)  
meron pong 66%

**[01:17:19.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001295)  
na of

**[01:17:19.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001296)  
contract value. Out of the

**[01:17:22.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001297)  
459 billion,

**[01:17:25.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001298)  
capital outlay allocation,

**[01:17:27.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001299)  
for 2026,

**[01:17:28.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001300)  
305.79

**[01:17:30.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001301)  
has already been awarded as well.

**[01:17:33.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001302)  
Ah, simple

**[01:17:34.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001303)  
explanation po kung bakit

**[01:17:36.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001304)  
76% versus 66%.

**[01:17:39.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001305)  
Dahil po marami po sa

**[01:17:41.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001306)  
mga big ticket na

**[01:17:43.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001307)  
projects tulad po ng mga maglaking

**[01:17:45.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001308)  
maharika highway

**[01:17:46.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001309)  
segments na kinonsolidate natin,

**[01:17:49.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001310)  
ongoing pa pa rin po ang

**[01:17:50.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001311)  
procurement nun.

**[01:17:52.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001312)  
As an example po. Kaya

**[01:17:54.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001313)  
hindi po pugma yung

**[01:17:57.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001314)  
76% of awarded

**[01:17:59.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001315)  
versus yung value

**[01:18:00.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001316)  
of the projects that have been

**[01:18:03.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001317)  
awarded. Dahil po yung mga big ticket

**[01:18:04.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001318)  
tulad ng maharika, eh hindi pa po

**[01:18:07.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001319)  
na-award.

**[01:18:08.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001320)  
Ongoing po po ang gining.

**[01:18:10.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001321)  
So, you have our

Two slides.

Oh, I will skip

**[01:18:56.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001344)  
this slide then. Alam naman po natin

**[01:18:58.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001345)  
mababang-mababa ang budget utilization

**[01:19:00.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001346)

**[01:19:02.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001347)

just pass on po to Undersecretary

**[01:19:07.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001349)

na mga

**[01:19:16.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001354)  
lump sum

**[01:19:17.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001355)  
evacuation centers. Ipapaliwanag

**[01:19:20.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001356)  
lang po ni Yusek Lara

**[01:19:22.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001357)  
ito. Para lang po in the

interest of transparency.

**[01:19:26.800] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001359)  
For the signed

**[01:19:28.760] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001360)  
Ligtas Pinoy Center Act

**[01:19:30.420] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001361)  
under RA 12076,

**[01:19:33.460] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001362)  
the NDRRMC

**[01:19:34.500] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001363)  
through the Office of the Civil Defense

**[01:19:36.620] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001364)  
act as the lead agency in the

**[01:19:38.520] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001365)  
prioritization and identification

**[01:19:40.200] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001366)  
of possible sites under the

**[01:19:42.500] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001367)  
Ligtas Pinoy Centers.

**[01:19:44.380] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001368)  
DPWH is the primary

**[01:19:46.460] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001369)  
agency for

**[01:19:48.800] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001370)  
the construction of these LPCs.

**[01:19:51.240] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001371)  
So for 2027,

**[01:19:52.600] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001372)  
we're proposing two Ligtas Pinoy

**[01:19:54.320] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001373)  
Centers for each region.

**[01:19:56.800] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001374)  
Based on the

**[01:19:58.300] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001375)  
released five-year implementation

**[01:20:00.720] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001376)  
plan of NDRRMC.

**[01:20:03.460] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001377)  
Next slide, please.

**[01:20:05.060] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001378)  
Based on the five-year

**[01:20:06.640] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001379)  
implementation plan,

**[01:20:08.280] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001380)  
75 million is allotted

**[01:20:10.920] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001381)  
for the building construction

**[01:20:12.380] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001382)  
of each of these evacuation centers.

**[01:20:15.400] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001383)  
And then some sites

**[01:20:16.780] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001384)  
such as mountainous areas

**[01:20:18.840] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001385)  
in Kalinga and Abra require

**[01:20:20.420] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001386)  
up to 90 million for

**[01:20:22.500] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001387)  
location-specific requirements such as

**[01:20:24.580] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001388)  
site development and

**[01:20:26.140] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001389)  
hauling for geographically

**[01:20:28.200] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001390)  
challenging areas.

**[01:20:30.020] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001391)  
Next slide, please.

**[01:20:32.100] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001392)  
So for standard specifications,

**[01:20:34.280] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001393)  
each lot should have a minimum

**[01:20:35.960] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001394)  
area already of 3,000

**[01:20:38.020] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001395)  
square meters with a building

**[01:20:40.020] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001396)  
footprint of 1,445

**[01:20:42.560] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001397)  
square meters.

**[01:20:44.100] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001398)  
So per standard design, we have

**[01:20:45.920] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001399)  
a gross floor area of 1,657

**[01:20:48.800] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001400)  
square meters for

**[01:20:50.020] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001401)  
530 individuals.

**[01:20:52.280] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001402)  
So that's roughly 106

**[01:20:53.920] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001403)  
families at 5 persons per family.

**[01:20:56.140] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001404)  
And here is

**[01:20:58.460] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001405)  
the conceptual design that we will

**[01:21:00.220] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001406)  
be following.

**[01:21:02.900] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001407)  
Next slide, please.

**[01:21:04.220] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001408)  
This is the next slide.

**[01:21:08.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001409)  
Okay.

**[01:21:09.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001410)  
So,

**[01:21:10.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001411)  
Mr. Chairman, I think this

**[01:21:12.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001412)  
is very important, again, in the interest

**[01:21:14.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001413)  
of transparency. You will notice

**[01:21:16.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001414)  
for several lump sum amounts in

**[01:21:18.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001415)  
this proposal.

**[01:21:20.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001416)  
And we want, again, in the interest

**[01:21:22.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001417)  
of transparency, we just want

**[01:21:24.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001418)  
to explain to the

**[01:21:25.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001419)  
Honorable Committee and its members

**[01:21:27.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001420)  
the rationale behind these

**[01:21:30.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001421)  
lump sum amounts and why

**[01:21:32.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001422)  
they are not line item

**[01:21:34.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001423)  
budgeted.

**[01:21:35.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001424)  
And this is really based on

**[01:21:37.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001425)  
our experience over the

**[01:21:40.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001426)  
past year and specifically my

**[01:21:42.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001427)  
own experience as I go around the

**[01:21:44.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001428)  
country dealing

**[01:21:46.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001429)  
with problems that appear

**[01:21:48.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001430)  
everywhere

**[01:21:50.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001431)  
that we

**[01:21:52.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001432)  
feel we need to address. Unfortunately,

**[01:21:54.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001433)  
we cannot address

**[01:21:55.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001434)  
them under the

**[01:21:57.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001435)  
parameters of previous

**[01:21:59.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001436)  
budgets. But of course,

**[01:22:01.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001437)  
we will all submit

**[01:22:04.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001438)  
to the wisdom of the

**[01:22:05.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001439)  
Senate, of Congress,

**[01:22:08.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001440)  
on how to address

**[01:22:10.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001441)  
these gaps or these

**[01:22:11.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001442)  
concerns that we have,

**[01:22:13.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001443)  
again, in the interest of transparency.

**[01:22:16.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001444)  
Pero ulitin ko po, meron pong mga

**[01:22:17.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001445)  
lump sum amounts dito na

**[01:22:19.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001446)  
hindi naka-budget, naka-line item,

**[01:22:22.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001447)  
but we want to go through them

**[01:22:23.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001448)  
and explain to you,

**[01:22:25.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001449)  
why they are necessary

**[01:22:27.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001450)  
in the interest of transparency.

**[01:22:30.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001451)  
So,

**[01:22:31.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001452)  
papatulong na lang po ako, in some instances,

**[01:22:34.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001453)  
kay Undersecretary Lara, kasi po,

**[01:22:36.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001454)  
siya po ang mutulong sa akin

**[01:22:37.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001455)  
dito. Ang una po,

**[01:22:39.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001456)  
there is a item,

**[01:22:41.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001457)  
ano ang item?

**[01:22:45.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001458)  
Rehabilitation,

**[01:22:46.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001459)  
reconstruction, construction

**[01:22:48.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001460)  
of road slips

**[01:22:49.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001461)  
or collapses, including

**[01:22:51.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001462)  
slow protection along

**[01:22:53.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001463)  
national roads, primary and secondary.

**[01:22:55.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001464)  
700 million po

**[01:22:57.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001465)  
ang hinihingi-hingi po namin.

**[01:23:00.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001466)  
In our experience po,

**[01:23:01.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001467)  
my experience in particular,

**[01:23:05.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001468)  
marami po tayong

**[01:23:06.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001469)  
mga kalye and again,

nangyayari po to

**[01:23:10.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001471)  
all over. I think in just my

**[01:23:11.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001472)  
short stint at DPWH

**[01:23:13.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001473)  
in the past year, this has happened

**[01:23:15.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001474)  
at least 10 to

**[01:23:17.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001475)  
15 times already

**[01:23:19.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001476)  
in various areas. As an example,

**[01:23:21.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001477)  
Bukitnon-Davao Road.

**[01:23:23.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001478)  
Sa distrito po ay sa area po

**[01:23:25.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001479)  
mismo ni

**[01:23:25.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001480)  
former Senator Migs Subiri.

**[01:23:28.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001481)  
Ang nangyari po dito,

**[01:23:30.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001482)  
and if I could direct your attention to that

**[01:23:32.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001483)  
first picture, magsakpo

**[01:23:34.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001484)  
ang Bukitnon-Davao

**[01:23:36.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001485)  
Road.

**[01:23:38.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001486)  
Wala pang kalamity

**[01:23:40.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001487)  
nito. There was no kalamity.

**[01:23:42.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001488)  
It was after the Davao

**[01:23:44.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001489)  
earthquake. There was no

**[01:23:46.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001490)  
typhoon at that time.

**[01:23:47.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001491)  
It just collapsed.

**[01:23:49.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001492)  
It just collapsed.

**[01:23:50.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001493)  
And this is a critical

**[01:23:52.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001494)  
road because it connects

**[01:23:54.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001495)  
southern

**[01:23:55.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001496)  
Mindanao to northern

**[01:23:56.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001497)  
Mindanao. Davao all the way

**[01:23:58.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001498)  
to Bukitnon, all the way to

**[01:24:00.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001499)  
Cagayan de Oro. And all the

**[01:24:01.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001500)  
goods.

**[01:24:02.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-001500-split-2)  
Actually, I'm very familiar with

**[01:24:03.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-001501)  
this road. Yung sa Buda yan eh.

**[01:24:05.760] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-001502)  
This is the most popular road.

**[01:24:07.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-001503)  
Davao, yeah. I always go there

**[01:24:09.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-001504)  
pag nagbubudol kami. It's a very

**[01:24:10.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-001505)  
crucial road for connectivity

**[01:24:13.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-001506)  
between Bukitnon and Davao.

**[01:24:15.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001507)  
Opo. And

**[01:24:16.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001508)  
opo, tama po

**[01:24:19.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001509)  
Senator. And after

**[01:24:21.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001510)  
this, by the way,

**[01:24:23.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001511)  
na-repair na po namin ito,

**[01:24:24.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001512)  
we were,

**[01:24:25.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001513)  
we were able to fund it

**[01:24:26.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001514)  
through, I think,

**[01:24:28.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001515)  
savings.

**[01:24:29.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001516)  
But, after

**[01:24:31.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001517)  
this event, it happened late in

**[01:24:34.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001518)  
2025.

**[01:24:37.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001519)  
Three times na naman pong

**[01:24:38.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001520)  
in other segments

**[01:24:40.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001521)  
in Davao and Bukitnon,

**[01:24:42.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001522)  
nagkaroon po ng ganito din.

**[01:24:44.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001523)  
Sa Marahan and sa

**[01:24:46.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001524)  
another area in Davao.

**[01:24:49.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001525)  
Inaayos na rin po namin

**[01:24:50.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001526)  
ngayon yun. Pero yun po,

**[01:24:53.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001527)  
again,

**[01:24:54.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001528)  
nakahanap po kami ng

**[01:24:55.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001529)  
savings for that. But,

**[01:24:58.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001530)  
hindi po namin makuha

**[01:25:00.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001531)  
ito sa QRF, dahil wag

**[01:25:01.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001532)  
ang disaster. So, ang hirap po

**[01:25:03.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001533)  
talaga. We really have to

**[01:25:04.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001534)  
find a way and get creative on how

**[01:25:07.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001535)  
to repair it immediately. And this

**[01:25:09.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001536)  
is an example po

**[01:25:10.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001537)  
that happens everywhere,

**[01:25:13.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001538)  
especially in mountainous areas,

**[01:25:15.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001539)  
in CAR, in

**[01:25:17.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001540)  
in Quezon,

**[01:25:20.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001541)  
in Davao,

**[01:25:22.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001542)  
Bukitnon,

**[01:25:23.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001543)  
in Cagayan de Oro,

**[01:25:24.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001544)  
everywhere po. So, this is our

**[01:25:27.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001545)  
humble request po na sana po

**[01:25:30.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001546)  
bigyan po. And please po,

**[01:25:32.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001547)  
if the Senate po wants to add

**[01:25:34.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001548)  
special provisions

**[01:25:35.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001549)  
that will protect the

**[01:25:38.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001550)  
management of this Gamsam, please,

**[01:25:40.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001551)  
we will be more than happy po to

**[01:25:42.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001552)  
abide by

**[01:25:44.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001553)  
whatever safeguards the Senate

**[01:25:46.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001554)  
wants. Next.

**[01:25:49.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001555)  
Another major

**[01:25:50.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001556)  
problem po that we encountered,

**[01:25:52.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001557)  
and this is po, again,

**[01:25:54.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001558)  
no, wala ho kaming maano,

**[01:25:56.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001559)  
itong mga

**[01:25:57.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001560)  
off-carriage way

**[01:26:00.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001561)  
safety,

**[01:26:03.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001562)  
no, plus the upgrading

**[01:26:04.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001563)  
and rehabilitation of critical

**[01:26:06.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001564)  
drainage structures,

**[01:26:09.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001565)  
no,

**[01:26:09.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001566)  
halimbawa po,

**[01:26:12.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001567)  
may mga areas na hindi

**[01:26:14.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001568)  
nasama ng mga

**[01:26:16.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001569)  
district engineers,

**[01:26:19.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001570)  
hindi po

**[01:26:21.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001571)  
natin marirepair yan.

**[01:26:23.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001572)  
Kasi dahil nga po, very strict na tayo,

**[01:26:24.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001573)  
line item budgeting, hindi po

**[01:26:26.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001574)  
merong urgent na kailangang

**[01:26:28.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001575)  
ayusin o i-repair,

**[01:26:31.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001576)  
kasi hindi po natin

**[01:26:32.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001577)  
pwedeng i-classify ito as

**[01:26:34.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001578)  
routine maintenance.

**[01:26:36.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001579)  
So, we are also asking for the same amount

**[01:26:39.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001580)  
for

**[01:26:39.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001581)  
critical drainage

**[01:26:42.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001582)  
repairs

**[01:26:44.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001583)  
or upgrading,

**[01:26:46.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001584)  
na hindi mako-cover ng

**[01:26:48.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001585)  
routine maintenance. But again po,

**[01:26:52.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001586)  
we will

**[01:26:52.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001587)  
submit to the

**[01:26:54.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001588)  
wisdom of the committee po.

**[01:26:56.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001589)  
We are just telling you the challenges

**[01:26:58.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001590)  
that we face po in trying to

**[01:27:00.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001591)  
fix these problems

**[01:27:02.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001592)  
as soon as possible.

**[01:27:05.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001593)  
Another major problem po

**[01:27:06.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001594)  
that we have is road safety

**[01:27:08.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001595)  
facilities, no.

**[01:27:10.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001596)  
Ang dami na pong namatay dito, no.

**[01:27:12.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001597)  
And unfortunately po,

**[01:27:15.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001598)  
ang marami po

**[01:27:16.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001599)  
ng road safety

**[01:27:18.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001600)  
accidents natin involve

**[01:27:20.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001601)  
road slips

**[01:27:22.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001602)  
na in the

**[01:27:24.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001603)  
period between nung

**[01:27:26.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001604)  
nasira yung kalye

**[01:27:28.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001605)  
at magkaroon ng kontratista

**[01:27:30.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001606)  
mag-re-repair, which

**[01:27:32.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001607)  
unfortunately sometimes takes

**[01:27:33.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001608)  
months, no.

**[01:27:37.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001609)  
Very unsafe po yan.

**[01:27:39.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001610)  
And wala pong

**[01:27:40.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001611)  
mahanapan ng pondo

**[01:27:41.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001612)  
ang department

**[01:27:43.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001613)  
provide for proper

**[01:27:45.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001614)  
road safety po, no.

**[01:27:48.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001615)  
Kasi again po, wala sa

**[01:27:50.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001616)  
routine maintenance and wala sa

**[01:27:52.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001617)  
iba pong mga

**[01:27:54.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001618)  
MOOE funds

**[01:27:56.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001619)  
ng DPWH. So we are

**[01:27:58.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001620)  
asking for the same. And ito po talaga

**[01:28:00.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001621)  
nangyayari everywhere, no.

**[01:28:02.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001622)  
But again, we will submit

**[01:28:04.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001623)  
to the wisdom of the

**[01:28:06.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001624)  
Senate and the committee on this.

**[01:28:08.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001625)  
Next.

**[01:28:13.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001626)  
Mga tulay po natin,

**[01:28:15.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001627)  
marami po

**[01:28:15.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001628)  
unfortunately po,

**[01:28:18.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001629)  
again, no.

**[01:28:19.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001630)  
Ginawa pa po nung panahon po

**[01:28:21.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001631)  
ni former President Marcos.

**[01:28:24.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001632)  
Most of our bridges are

**[01:28:26.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001633)  
at least 40 to

**[01:28:29.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001634)  
50 years old.

**[01:28:30.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001635)  
60s, 70s po.

**[01:28:33.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001636)  
As an example, Pigatan Bridge

**[01:28:34.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001637)  
in Cagayan. Ito po ay

**[01:28:37.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001638)  
ginawa noong

**[01:28:38.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001639)  
late 70s pa.

**[01:28:41.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001640)  
It's a steel bridge.

**[01:28:43.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001641)  
It collapsed po

**[01:28:44.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001642)  
noong

**[01:28:45.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001643)  
late last year.

**[01:28:48.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001644)  
Dahil po may dalawang track na

**[01:28:50.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001645)  
nagsabay, puro pato po ang dala.

**[01:28:53.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001646)  
I think 80 tons

**[01:28:54.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001647)  
each track, syempre po,

**[01:28:56.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001648)  
bumigay.

**[01:28:59.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001649)  
These bridges need

**[01:29:00.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001650)  
immediate repair because these are

**[01:29:02.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001651)  
critical for our logistics, no.

**[01:29:05.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001652)  
Kinausap po ako ni Governor Agri

**[01:29:06.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001653)  
Paynon at sabi niya,

**[01:29:08.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001654)  
kung hindi ma-repair to agad,

**[01:29:11.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001655)  
yung economic losses po ng pag-ikot

**[01:29:13.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001656)  
ng mga track na nagdadala

**[01:29:14.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001657)  
ng bigas, ng palay,

**[01:29:16.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001658)

wala nang pupuntahan.

**[01:29:28.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001665)  
So we had to repair it. Again, we used

**[01:29:30.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001666)  
augmentation, we used savings,

**[01:29:32.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001667)  
but we are now asking for

**[01:29:33.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001668)  
500 million to at least

**[01:29:36.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001669)

**[01:29:40.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001671)  
necessary to be replaced.

**[01:29:42.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001672)  
Alam niyo po,

**[01:29:44.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001673)  
600 out of our 9,000

**[01:29:46.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001674)  
bridges now have

**[01:29:48.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001675)  
a capacity of only less

**[01:29:50.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001676)  
than 10 tons.

**[01:29:52.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001677)  
Ibig sabihin po, these are all bridges

**[01:29:54.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001678)  
na disaster waiting to happen.

**[01:29:57.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001679)

yung Kabagan-Santa Maria Bridge,

**[01:30:24.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001695)  
although that was not a,

**[01:30:25.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001696)  
that is not an old bridge,

**[01:30:27.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001697)  
that is a very new bridge.

**[01:30:28.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001698)  
And iba po ang kwento doon,

Pero we had to replace,

**[01:30:33.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001701)  
we had to connect that immediately

**[01:30:35.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001702)  
kasi nagko-complain na po si

**[01:30:37.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001703)

e paano naman yung mga tao.

**[01:30:43.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001706)  
So we had to fix that

**[01:30:45.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001707)  
immediately using again augmentation,

**[01:30:47.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001708)  
pero temporary parang po yun.

And there are many other examples po

**[01:31:09.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001720)

Again, to address

while we are waiting for funding

**[01:31:25.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001728)

**[01:31:43.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001738)  
And then,

**[01:31:46.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001740)

But again,

**[01:32:03.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001753)

there are a total

of 71

**[01:33:44.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001835)  
pumping stations

**[01:33:46.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001836)  
in NCR.

**[01:33:47.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001837)  
When I came in po,

**[01:33:50.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001838)  
35 were not working.

**[01:33:52.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001839)  
35

**[01:33:52.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001840)  
out of the 71

**[01:33:54.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001841)  
were not

**[01:33:56.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001842)  
operable.

**[01:33:57.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001843)  
Ngayon po,

**[01:33:58.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001844)  
we have brought that number

**[01:33:59.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001845)  
up to,

**[01:34:01.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001846)  
we have repaired

**[01:34:01.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001847)

**[01:34:03.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001848)  
additional pumping stations.

**[01:34:05.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001849)  
So,

**[01:34:06.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001850)  
out of the 35,

**[01:34:07.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001851)  
19 na po ang

in the course of the

**[01:34:11.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001854)  
first couple of months po namin.

**[01:34:14.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001855)  
But again,

**[01:34:16.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001856)  
we had to scrounge

**[01:34:17.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001857)  
for savings

**[01:34:18.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001858)  
and other sources,

**[01:34:21.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001859)  
pero ngayon po,

**[01:34:21.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001860)  
we are asking for

**[01:34:22.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001861)  
150 million

**[01:34:23.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001862)  
just to be able to repair

**[01:34:25.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001863)  
these pumping stations.

**[01:34:27.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001864)  
All over.

**[01:34:28.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001865)  
Not just po in NCR,

**[01:34:30.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001866)  
but also in other areas

**[01:34:32.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001867)  
like Bulacan,

**[01:34:33.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001868)  
other areas

**[01:34:34.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001869)  
in Pampanga,

**[01:34:37.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001871)  
in the Visayas.

Next slide, please.

**[01:34:44.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001873)  
And ito po,

**[01:34:45.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001874)  
these are,

**[01:34:46.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001875)  
ito po yung

**[01:34:47.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001876)  
rinunch ni Pangulo.

**[01:34:48.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001877)  
Yung Oplan Contrabaha.

**[01:34:51.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001878)  
And this is really

**[01:34:52.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001879)  
a dredging,

**[01:34:54.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001880)  
desilting program.

**[01:34:57.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001881)  
Ang problema po natin,

**[01:34:58.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001882)  
and I will be, again,

**[01:34:59.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001883)  
I don't want to point fingers

**[01:35:01.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001884)  
at the past,

**[01:35:02.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001885)  
but I will just state facts po.

**[01:35:04.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001886)  
Simula po,

**[01:35:05.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001887)  
two administrations na po

**[01:35:06.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001888)  
ang nakalipas

**[01:35:07.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001889)  
na halos walang

**[01:35:09.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001890)  
dredging na nangyari

**[01:35:11.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001891)  
sa waterways and rivers

**[01:35:13.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001892)  
sa buong Pilipinas.

**[01:35:15.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001893)  
I think this was really

**[01:35:17.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001894)  
a reaction po

**[01:35:18.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001895)  
dun sa mga nangyari.

**[01:35:19.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001896)  
I don't want to dwell on the past,

**[01:35:21.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001897)  
but talaga pong walang

**[01:35:22.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001898)  
dredging na nangyari.

**[01:35:24.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001899)  
Kinikwento ko po

**[01:35:25.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001900)  
kay Senator JV

**[01:35:26.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001901)

**[01:35:32.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001906)  
at yung Palomo River

**[01:35:33.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001907)  
sa Davao.

**[01:35:35.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001908)  
Maniwala po kayo,

**[01:35:36.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001909)  
nakatayo na po

**[01:35:37.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001910)  
at hindi naman po ako

**[01:35:38.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001911)  
matangkad.

**[01:35:39.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001912)  
Nakatayo na po ako

**[01:35:40.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001913)  
sa riverbed.

**[01:35:42.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001914)  
Naaabot ko po

**[01:35:43.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001915)  
ang bridge.

**[01:35:45.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001916)  
Ganun na po

**[01:35:46.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001917)  
kasilted

**[01:35:46.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001918)  
yung rivers natin.

**[01:35:48.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001919)  
At dahil po dun,

**[01:35:50.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001920)  
natural lang po

**[01:35:50.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001921)  
na talaga mag-overflow

**[01:35:52.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001922)  
at babahain.

**[01:35:53.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001923)  
At talaga pong

**[01:35:54.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001924)  
nagtuloy-tuloy po

**[01:35:55.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001925)  
ang dredging natin

**[01:35:56.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001926)  
and in fact,

**[01:35:57.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001927)  
we have anecdotal

**[01:35:58.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001928)

and other parts

**[01:36:11.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001939)  
where we have really been

**[01:36:12.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001940)  
aggressively dredging

**[01:36:13.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001941)  
at ngayon po,

**[01:36:16.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001942)  
hindi pong talaga

**[01:36:17.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001943)  
sila masyadong binabaha.

**[01:36:19.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001944)  
No,

**[01:36:19.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001945)  
importanteng-importante po ito

**[01:36:21.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001946)  
but unfortunately,

**[01:36:22.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001947)  
it is not

**[01:36:23.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001948)  
a regular part

**[01:36:24.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001949)  
of the budget

**[01:36:26.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001950)  
of

**[01:36:26.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001951)  
of

**[01:36:27.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001952)  
the DPWH.

**[01:36:28.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001953)  
This is why we are asking

**[01:36:29.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001954)  
for this amount

**[01:36:31.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001955)  
to dredge.

**[01:36:31.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001956)  
This is a nationwide

**[01:36:32.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001957)  
effort po

**[01:36:34.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001958)  
to dredge.

**[01:36:35.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001959)  
In fact,

**[01:36:36.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001960)  
kulang pa rin po ito

**[01:36:37.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001961)  
but this is,

**[01:36:38.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001962)  
I think,

**[01:36:38.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001963)  
a start po

**[01:36:39.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001964)  
that we need.

**[01:36:44.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001965)  
I think that is the last.

**[01:36:46.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001966)  
I'm sorry.

**[01:36:47.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001967)  
And ito po,

**[01:36:48.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001968)  
maybe Yuse Clara

**[01:36:50.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001969)  
can explain this

**[01:36:51.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-001970)  
under Secretary

**[01:36:55.740] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001973)  
For the rehabilitation

**[01:37:06.520] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001981)  
However,

**[01:37:07.560] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001982)  
meron po kaming mga

**[01:37:08.380] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001983)

especially po

**[01:37:09.880] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001985)  
sa mga schools

**[01:37:11.020] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-001986)

for 2026

**[01:44:59.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002366)  
which is I think

**[01:44:59.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002367)  
the

**[01:45:00.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002368)  
biggest PEFF ever.

**[01:45:03.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002369)

built through PPP or through

Kasi hindi po kami

wala pa pong identified school, wala pa pong

**[01:46:18.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002408)

that po, meron po kailangan gawing

**[01:46:22.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002410)  
geotechnical studies

Having seen the problems

So, ito po

**[01:46:55.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002427)  
Finally po, on the issue of right of way.

**[01:46:59.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002428)  
Ang outstanding

85 billion pesos.

85 billion po compared to

the average ROW

Last slide na po. Pasensya na po.

**[01:47:25.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002440)  
Ang

**[01:47:25.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002441)  
outstanding, out of the outstanding

**[01:47:28.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002442)  
85 billion,

**[01:47:29.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002443)  
this is the breakdown po.

**[01:47:31.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002444)  
9.85 billion, meron na po

**[01:47:33.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002445)  
court orders yan, meaning ready na po yan.

**[01:47:36.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002446)  
Pag may court order po,

**[01:47:37.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002447)  
nagbabayad na po ang gobyerno ng interest

**[01:47:39.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002448)  
dyan every year of

**[01:47:41.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002449)  
delay. For

**[01:47:43.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002450)  
ongoing projects po, it's 28.74

**[01:47:46.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002451)  
and for completed

**[01:47:47.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002452)  
projects, tapos na po.

**[01:47:49.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002453)  
46 billion. So, I just wanted to point

**[01:47:51.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002454)  
it out because this is a big, big

**[01:47:53.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002455)  
problem po that we face as well.

**[01:47:55.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002456)  
But again, I know there have been issues

**[01:47:57.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002457)  
in the past but we will

**[01:47:59.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002458)  
admit po to the wisdom of Congress on how to

**[01:48:01.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002459)  
protect the funds po for a way to

**[01:48:03.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002460)  
weigh on this. But I think this is a

**[01:48:05.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002461)  
very critical issue

**[01:48:07.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002462)  
that we need to address po. With

**[01:48:09.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002463)  
that po, maraming maraming salamat po.

**[01:48:11.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002464)

Secretary Vince Dizon, the chair

**[01:48:17.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002467)  
would like to also [unclear] presence of our

**[01:48:18.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002468)  
minority leader, Alan Cayetano.

**[01:48:21.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002469)  
Since there are simultaneous

**[01:48:23.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002470)  
hearings

**[01:48:25.360] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002471)  
right now, actually we have a commission

**[01:48:27.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002472)  
on Appointments.

**[01:48:29.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002473)  
A plenary at supposed to be

**[01:48:31.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002474)  
1 p.m. and our

**[01:48:32.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002475)  
Senate president is the chairman.

**[01:48:35.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002476)  
He's

he will be the one to, he

**[01:48:38.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002478)  
will be presiding over.

**[01:48:40.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002479)  
So, we will give him the chance to

**[01:48:42.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002480)  
first, no, first crack to

**[01:48:44.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002481)  
ask the questions with

**[01:48:46.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002482)  
DPWH and probably if we have

**[01:48:48.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002483)  
still have time, our

**[01:48:50.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002484)  
Senator Imee Marcos and

**[01:48:53.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002485)  
our minority leader. And then we will have a

**[01:48:54.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002486)  
take a short break for lunch.

**[01:48:57.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002487)  
Pasensya na, late lunch tayo

**[01:48:59.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002488)  
but we'll have a very quick

**[01:49:01.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002489)  
break, maybe 15-20 minutes

**[01:49:02.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002490)  
then we'll resume so that we can

**[01:49:05.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002491)  
just attend for a while yung

**[01:49:06.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002492)  
CA plenary.

**[01:49:09.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002493)  
So, pasensya na, this is how

**[01:49:10.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002494)  
it is right now in the Senate,

**[01:49:12.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002495)  
our dilemma. Because the impeachment,

**[01:49:15.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002496)  
the plenary, and the CA

**[01:49:17.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002497)  
ngayon, and then now the budget hearing. So,

**[01:49:19.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002498)  
our Senate president may

**[01:49:21.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-002499)  
now ask his questions.

**[01:49:24.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002500)  
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

**[01:49:26.000] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002501)  
Kaya pumapayat ka na,

Mr. Chairman.

**[01:49:29.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002503)  
Nakita ko hindi ka na nagla-lunch or late na nagla-lunch.

**[01:49:31.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002504)  
But let me

**[01:49:32.700] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002505)  
thank DPWH,

**[01:49:35.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002506)  
Secretary Vince, dito sa

OPLAN kontrabaha.

**[01:49:39.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002508)  
I'm also a

**[01:49:41.260] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002509)  
witness that

**[01:49:43.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002510)  
it's an effective program.

**[01:49:45.160] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002511)  
Ngayon lang nga nagawa dahil

**[01:49:46.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002512)  
experience namin dito sa Valenzuela

**[01:49:49.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002513)  
nung

**[01:49:50.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002514)  
nagkaroon tayo ng three weeks

**[01:49:53.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002515)  
na tuloy-tuloy yung ulan.

**[01:49:54.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002516)  
Bumaha doon sa Pampanga,

**[01:49:56.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002517)  
Bulacan, pero yung NLEX portion ng

**[01:49:59.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002518)  
Valenzuela na traditionally binabaha.

**[01:50:02.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002519)  
Hindi siya binaha.

**[01:50:02.820] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002520)  
Sa Paso de Blas, correct.

**[01:50:04.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002521)  
Typically,

**[01:50:06.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002522)  
nauuna kaming bahain

**[01:50:08.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002523)  
bago yung sa Pampanga.

**[01:50:11.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002524)  
But because

**[01:50:12.280] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002525)  
nagkaroon ng dredging,

**[01:50:15.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002526)  
additional pumps,

**[01:50:16.840] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002527)  
malakang bagay yung dredging. In fact, I would

**[01:50:19.060] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002528)  
credit that to the dredging.

**[01:50:21.940] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002529)  
Hindi kami

**[01:50:22.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002530)  
binaha ngayon yung barangay Paso de Blas.

**[01:50:25.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002531)  
So, it goes to show that

**[01:50:26.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002532)  
we really need to

**[01:50:28.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002533)  
invest in dredging

**[01:50:30.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002534)  
machineries, equipment,

**[01:50:33.200] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002535)  
at dapat tuloy-tuloy na.

**[01:50:34.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002536)  
At nakita ko dito sa Oplan Kontra Baha,

**[01:50:36.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002537)  
it's DPWH na nagdadredge.

**[01:50:38.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002538)  
Hindi contractor.

**[01:50:41.200] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002539)  
Kasi,

**[01:50:42.840] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002540)  
yan rin isang source of corruption

**[01:50:44.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002541)  
in the past in dredging.

**[01:50:46.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002542)  
So, hindi mo kasi malaman kung

**[01:50:48.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002543)  
ilang cubic meters na ang dinidredge.

**[01:50:51.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002544)  
Hindi mo naman makikita yung tubig.

**[01:50:52.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002545)  
But since equipment ang binibili,

**[01:50:54.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002546)  
DPWH nagdadredge together with the local

**[01:50:56.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002547)  
government.

**[01:50:58.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002548)  
And balance na nadedredge siya.

**[01:51:00.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002549)  
So, I support itong Oplan Kontra Baha.

**[01:51:03.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002550)  
It's an effective program, Mr. Chairman.

**[01:51:05.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002551)  
So, having said that,

**[01:51:08.260] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002552)  
narinig ko rin na

**[01:51:09.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002553)  
napakadami ng mga reformang

**[01:51:10.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002554)  
na gawa ang DPWH.

**[01:51:13.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002555)  
Nakita ko nga kanina yung

**[01:51:15.700] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002556)  
I took pictures of the slides.

**[01:51:18.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002557)  
Yung feasibility study

**[01:51:22.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002558)  
plus in certificate of

**[01:51:24.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002559)  
implementability, which are

**[01:51:26.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002560)  
all very good reforms.

**[01:51:28.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002561)  
And then last year,

**[01:51:30.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002562)  
together with DPWH,

**[01:51:32.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002563)  
inumpisahan rin natin

**[01:51:35.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002564)  
yung reforma sa loob ng

**[01:51:36.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002565)  
budget. Because

**[01:51:38.160] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002566)  
the budget is the starting point.

**[01:51:40.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002567)  
Kung full proofing budget,

**[01:51:43.160] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002568)  
mas mahirap

**[01:51:44.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002569)  
ang magkaroon ng

**[01:51:46.880] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002570)  
elbow room for

**[01:51:48.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002571)  
corruption or for discretion.

**[01:51:50.820] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002572)  
Kaya last year, together with

**[01:51:52.360] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002573)  
DPWH, inumpisahan

**[01:51:54.740] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002574)  
natin yung reform in the budget.

**[01:51:56.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002575)  
Meaning, mas transparent,

**[01:51:58.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002576)  
mas granular,

**[01:52:00.360] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002577)  
mas mayroong technical description,

**[01:52:02.620] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002578)  
station numbers, and everything.

**[01:52:04.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002579)  
And that was carried over

**[01:52:06.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002580)  
in the 2026 budget.

**[01:52:09.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002581)  
However,

**[01:52:11.180] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002582)  
marami pa tayong room for

**[01:52:16.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002583)  
improvement na pwedeng gawin.

**[01:52:18.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002584)  
At nabuksan to kanina ng ating

**[01:52:20.060] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002585)  
chairman sa kanyang opening speech

**[01:52:22.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002586)  
na mayroon pa rin kaming nakikita

**[01:52:24.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002587)  
na room for improvement

**[01:52:26.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002588)  
in the budget that we have.

**[01:52:28.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002589)  
It was submitted to us.

**[01:52:29.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002590)  
Meaning, marami pa kaming nakikita

**[01:52:31.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002591)  
ang mga red flags. Tawag natin

**[01:52:33.340] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002592)  
last time red flags.

**[01:52:36.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002593)  
And I want to

**[01:52:37.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002594)  
point this out to

**[01:52:39.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002595)  
the DPWH and later on

**[01:52:42.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002596)  
isasubmit namin yung full list

**[01:52:43.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002597)  
ng

**[01:52:45.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002598)  
itong mga red flags para makorect

**[01:52:48.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002599)  
ng DPWH bago

**[01:52:50.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002600)  
magawa ng ating chairman yung

**[01:52:51.940] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002601)  
committee report. So,

**[01:52:53.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002602)  
ganoon na ginawa natin in 2026 actually.

**[01:52:56.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002603)  
Nung pinoint out natin yung red flags,

**[01:52:58.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002604)  
lininis ito ni

**[01:53:01.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002605)  
Yusek Esquibel

**[01:53:04.000] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002606)  
ni Lara. I think, oh, naglinis

**[01:53:06.280] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002607)  
itong Lara, di ba? I remember

**[01:53:07.840] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002608)  
the team.

**[01:53:09.880] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002609)  
I remember you submitted to us.

**[01:53:12.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002610)  
And then yun yung inadopt namin

**[01:53:13.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002611)  
in the 2026 GAA.

**[01:53:15.940] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002612)  
Which was very effective.

**[01:53:17.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002613)  
So, I just want to point this out

**[01:53:20.060] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002614)  
so that

**[01:53:20.760] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002615)  
lahat tayo matututo

**[01:53:24.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002616)  
and makikita natin na mayroon pang

**[01:53:26.060] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002617)  
room for improvement. So,

**[01:53:28.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002618)  
slide 49.

**[01:53:33.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002619)  
So, we identified

**[01:53:34.700] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002620)  
eight types of red flags.

**[01:53:39.080] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002621)  
Kasi hiniwalay namin yung

**[01:53:41.000] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002622)  
ibang mga red flags

**[01:53:42.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002623)  
into much more granular.

**[01:53:45.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002624)  
So, we identified

**[01:53:47.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002625)  
eight types of red flags and I would like

**[01:53:49.000] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002626)  
to inform the department

**[01:53:51.360] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002627)  
itong mga red flags. Again, we'll submit

**[01:53:53.180] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002628)  
to you the complete list, Secretary,

**[01:53:55.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002629)  
para ma-amend natin before the committee report.

**[01:53:58.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002630)  
So, ito yung mga red flags na nakita namin.

**[01:54:00.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002631)  
Station number, duplicated

**[01:54:02.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002632)  
projects, reappear

**[01:54:04.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002633)  
from 2026 to 2027,

**[01:54:07.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002634)  
no coordinates,

**[01:54:08.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002635)  
lump sum, hindi na-discuss nyo kanina,

**[01:54:11.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002636)  
overlapping,

**[01:54:13.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002637)  
unspecified

**[01:54:14.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002638)  
work scope, and conflicting type of work.

**[01:54:16.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002639)  
And I'll show some examples na nakita

**[01:54:18.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002640)  
namin in the

**[01:54:20.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002641)  
NEP

**[01:54:22.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002642)  
na pwede natin

**[01:54:24.600] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002643)  
i-correct moving forward. So, in slide

**[01:54:26.840] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002644)  
50,

**[01:54:28.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002645)  
so, we saw some projects

**[01:54:30.000] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002646)  
na marami naman may

**[01:54:32.820] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002647)  
may kalsada

**[01:54:35.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002648)  
na may station number.

**[01:54:36.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002649)  
Pero meron pa rin tayo nakitang mga

**[01:54:38.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002650)  
kalsada na walang station number.

**[01:54:40.600] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002651)  
So, slide 50, Elena.

**[01:54:49.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002652)  
Yan, pakilaki na lang.

**[01:54:51.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002653)  
So, may mga kalsada

**[01:54:53.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002654)  
na may station number.

**[01:54:55.280] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002655)  
May mga kalsada na walang station number.

**[01:54:58.160] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002656)  
And,

**[01:54:58.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002657)  
it's now the standard

**[01:55:00.220] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002658)  
na dapat may station number

**[01:55:02.820] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002659)  
para malaman natin kung saan siya mag-uumpisa.

**[01:55:05.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002660)  
Next slide, Elena.

**[01:55:07.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002661)  
So, a few more examples

**[01:55:08.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002662)  
of

**[01:55:09.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002663)  
roads. O, ito naman,

**[01:55:12.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002664)  
flood control. These are flood control

**[01:55:14.700] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002665)  
projects na walang station number.

**[01:55:17.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002666)  
Ito, mas mahalaga ito dahil alam naman natin

**[01:55:19.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002667)  
yung flood control

**[01:55:19.880] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002668)  
nasa malalayong lugar.

**[01:55:22.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002669)  
Hindi natin makikita.

**[01:55:24.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002670)  
Unlike the roads, kitang-kita.

**[01:55:25.880] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002671)  
But, yung flood control, kung hindi ka magbabangka,

**[01:55:28.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002672)  
hindi mo makikita talaga.

**[01:55:31.000] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002673)  
And then, next, Elena.

**[01:55:32.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002674)  
We also saw some bridges na walang

**[01:55:34.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002675)  
ID. Marami sa mga bridges

**[01:55:37.060] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002676)  
nakita namin may mga ID,

**[01:55:38.740] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002677)  
but may mga bridges na walang ID.

**[01:55:41.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002678)  
So,

**[01:55:42.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002679)  
we just want to flag

**[01:55:44.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002680)  
the department on that.

**[01:55:45.860] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002681)  
So, pag tinotal namin yan, next slide,

**[01:55:51.340] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002682)  
yung red flag one,

**[01:55:52.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002683)  
it's about

**[01:55:53.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002684)  
2,570 projects

**[01:55:56.940] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002685)  
worth about 83 billion pesos.

**[01:55:58.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002686)  
So, let's

**[01:56:00.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002687)  
just ask the district engineer

**[01:56:02.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002688)  
to include all of

**[01:56:04.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002689)  
these details.

**[01:56:06.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002690)  
The next red flag,

**[01:56:08.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002691)  
ito yung tinatawag namin, duplicate

**[01:56:10.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002692)  
projects.

**[01:56:11.880] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002693)  
Next slide.

**[01:56:13.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002694)  
So, may mga nakikita kaming mga construction

**[01:56:16.220] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002695)  
of seawall. Pag makikita nyo, parehong-pareho

**[01:56:18.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002696)  
yung title.

**[01:56:20.260] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002697)  
Minsan, wrong spelling lang yung iba.

**[01:56:22.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002698)  
So,

**[01:56:24.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002699)  
like for example,

**[01:56:26.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002700)  
dito sa Tugay Garaw,

**[01:56:28.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002701)  
construction of drainage system along

**[01:56:30.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002702)  
Caritan

**[01:56:31.880] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002703)  
Balzain Creek.

**[01:56:34.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002704)  
So, meron dalawang ganyan.

**[01:56:37.740] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002705)  
In flood control,

**[01:56:39.360] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002706)  
water supply system,

**[01:56:41.000] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002707)  
and next slide,

**[01:56:42.600] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002708)  
multipurpose buildings, meron rin ganoon.

**[01:56:44.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002709)  
Rehabilitation multipurpose building

**[01:56:46.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002710)  
in Barangay Santo Angel. Ito, wrong spelling lang.

**[01:56:51.200] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002711)  
Isang angel, isang angel.

**[01:56:53.820] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002712)  
So, but it's

**[01:56:54.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002713)  
exactly the same.

**[01:56:57.360] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002714)  
So,

**[01:56:58.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002715)  
next slide.

**[01:56:59.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002716)  
Again, pag tinotal natin ito, that's about

**[01:57:01.840] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002717)  
189 projects worth about

**[01:57:04.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002718)  
3 billion pesos.

**[01:57:06.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002719)  
Next will be

**[01:57:08.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002720)  
itong

**[01:57:09.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002721)  
nagre-reappear

**[01:57:12.080] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002722)  
from 2026 to 2027.

**[01:57:15.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002723)  
Nakita namin

**[01:57:16.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002724)  
na, for example,

**[01:57:18.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002725)  
sa Lawag-San Nicolas bypass roads,

**[01:57:20.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002726)  
exactly the same. Pati yung

**[01:57:22.260] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002727)  
station number, exactly the same.

**[01:57:25.200] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002728)  
Iba lang yung amount.

**[01:57:27.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002729)  
So,

**[01:57:28.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002730)  
sa water supply system

**[01:57:30.760] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002731)  
also, it's the same for

**[01:57:31.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002732)  
2026, 2027.

**[01:57:35.220] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002733)  
Next slide.

**[01:57:36.460] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002734)  
Multipurpose building,

**[01:57:38.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002735)  
it's exactly the same rin.

**[01:57:43.260] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002736)  
Bridges,

**[01:57:44.080] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002737)  
exactly the same rin for

**[01:57:45.780] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002738)  
2026, 2027.

**[01:57:49.320] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002739)  
Ang

**[01:57:49.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002740)  
nangyari explanation before

**[01:57:52.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002741)  
sa akin, minsan it happens in phases.

**[01:57:54.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002742)  
Kung hindi matatapos yung una,

**[01:57:56.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002743)  
next phase yung

**[01:57:58.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002744)  
sa next year.

**[01:57:59.420] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002745)  
Kung ganun, dapat palitan na lang, let's say,

**[01:58:01.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002746)  
construction and then to completion

**[01:58:03.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002747)  
para lang very clear and transparent.

**[01:58:08.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002748)  
So, next slide.

**[01:58:09.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002749)  
The total of that is about 258

**[01:58:11.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002750)  
projects worth about 20 billion pesos.

**[01:58:16.180] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002751)  
Next will be

**[01:58:17.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002752)  
the no coordinates.

**[01:58:19.860] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002753)  
Maraming mga projects with coordinates.

**[01:58:22.280] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002754)  
Pero may mga few projects

**[01:58:24.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002755)  
nakita namin na wala pa rin

**[01:58:25.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002756)  
yung coordinates.

**[01:58:26.600] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002757)  
For flood control,

**[01:58:28.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002758)  
for multipurpose building,

**[01:58:29.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002759)  
for water supply.

**[01:58:30.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002760)  
In flood control,

**[01:58:31.820] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002761)  
importante yan dahil alam naman natin,

**[01:58:34.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002762)  
again, malalayo yan.

**[01:58:37.420] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002763)  
So, next slide.

**[01:58:40.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002764)  
The total for red flag number 4

**[01:58:42.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002765)  
is about 3,500 projects

**[01:58:44.220] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002766)  
worth about 83 billion pesos.

**[01:58:49.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002767)  
Next will be the lump sum projects.

**[01:58:51.940] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002768)  
But ito na explained naman kanina

**[01:58:53.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002769)  
ni si Secretary

**[01:58:54.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002770)  
na ginagamit ito

**[01:58:56.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002771)  
sort of like a

**[01:58:58.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002776)  
contingency fund

**[01:58:58.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002777)  
para kung may mga

**[01:59:00.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002778)  
kailangan i-repair

**[01:59:02.280] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002779)  
in the middle of the year,

**[01:59:03.820] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002780)  
mayroong pagkukunan.

**[01:59:05.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002781)  
So, alright.

**[01:59:07.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002782)  
We'll skip the amounts.

**[01:59:10.080] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002783)  
Well, the amounts is,

**[01:59:11.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002784)  
next slide,

**[01:59:11.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002785)  
ang lump sum amounts

**[01:59:13.220] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002786)  
is about 14 billion pesos

**[01:59:14.880] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002787)  
across different programs.

**[01:59:19.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002788)  
Next will be

**[01:59:20.820] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002789)  
red flag 6.

**[01:59:24.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002790)  
Ito, Secretary,

**[01:59:27.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002791)  
ngayon lang namin nakita,

**[01:59:27.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002792)  
nakita ito,

**[01:59:28.340] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002793)  
but if you look at

**[01:59:29.540] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002794)  
the station number,

**[01:59:32.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002795)  
itong sa Canon Road,

**[01:59:34.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002796)  
1 plus 594.

**[01:59:39.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002797)  
In isang project,

**[01:59:40.400] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002798)  
ganun rin,

**[01:59:40.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002799)  
1 plus 594.

**[01:59:45.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002800)  
Pero yung dulo niya,

**[01:59:47.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002801)  
iba.

**[01:59:48.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002802)  
So, in other words,

**[01:59:49.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002803)  
both projects started

**[01:59:50.960] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002804)  
in the same location

**[01:59:52.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002805)  
but ended in

**[01:59:53.860] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002806)  
different locations.

**[01:59:55.880] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002807)  
So,

**[01:59:56.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002808)  
parang overlapping

**[01:59:58.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002809)  
itong project na ito.

**[02:00:00.000] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002810)  
So, that's why we call it overlapping yung project.

**[02:00:04.860] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002811)  
So, kasi starting point niya, the same ending point na iba.

**[02:00:11.460] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002812)  
Ito naman yung tawag namin, fragmented.

**[02:00:15.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002813)  
One single project lang ito, pero iba-iba.

**[02:00:19.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002814)  
Isang malaking project ito, pero iba-iba yung kanyang station number.

**[02:00:24.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002815)  
So, it's one contiguous project, pero na-break up lang siya to 135 million tig-isang project.

**[02:00:32.180] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002816)  
This is in Misamis Occidental.

**[02:00:37.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002817)  
Next.

**[02:00:40.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002818)  
Ito naman, fragmented and overlapping.

**[02:00:43.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002819)  
Pag makikita natin, the same yung kanyang starting point, pero along the way, nag-overlap siya with other projects.

**[02:00:53.220] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002820)  
Next slide.

**[02:00:54.100] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002821)  
Next slide.

**[02:00:54.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002822)  
So, on total nito is about 533 projects, about 63 billion.

**[02:01:02.760] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002823)  
Next will be unspecified work scope.

**[02:01:06.940] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002824)  
Kasi yung mga ibang mga projects, napansin namin merong barangay hall, merong covered court, merong evacuation center.

**[02:01:13.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002825)  
Very specific siya.

**[02:01:16.500] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002826)  
Itong multi-purpose buildings, hindi siya specific in some of the items.

**[02:01:20.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002827)  
So, hindi natin alam kung siya ay valid.

**[02:01:24.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002828)  
Evacuation center or covered court.

**[02:01:27.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002829)  
So, yung mga ganyan na projects, we identified it, about 62 projects worth.

**[02:01:32.460] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002830)  
Next slide.

**[02:01:33.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002831)  
1.5 billion pesos.

**[02:01:37.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002832)  
And next will be what we call conflicting type work.

**[02:01:42.860] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002833)  
In the same GA, may construction of road ka in barangay Mambabanga.

**[02:01:52.260] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002834)  
Tapos in the same year,

**[02:01:53.980] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002835)  
mayroon rehabilitation.

**[02:01:55.740] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002836)  
So, you started to construct, but also rehabilitate.

**[02:02:01.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002837)  
So, dapat malinis mabuti ito, whether this is construction, rehabilitation, or

**[02:02:08.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002838)  
posibleng mag-construct, tapos nag-rehabilitate in the same year.

**[02:02:14.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002839)  
So, ang number of projects nito is about 20 projects worth 386 million.

**[02:02:22.300] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002840)  
So, pag tinotal,

**[02:02:23.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002841)  
natin ito lahat.

**[02:02:25.800] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002842)  
This is about 7,107 projects.

**[02:02:32.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002843)  
Next slide.

**[02:02:34.620] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002844)  
7,107 projects.

**[02:02:37.560] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002845)  
Parang 7,107 islands.

**[02:02:40.280] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002846)  
Pero projects worth about 251 billion pesos.

**[02:02:46.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002847)  
So, in other words, sa kita, marami ng reforms, marami ng nalinis,

**[02:02:51.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002848)  
but marami pa rin, I think,

**[02:02:53.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002849)  
lusot sa scrutiny.

**[02:02:55.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002850)  
And I really want to flag,

**[02:02:57.720] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002851)  
nakita ko may mga regional directors tayo dito,

**[02:03:00.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002852)  
tsaka district engineers.

**[02:03:02.520] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002853)  
Dapat yung mga district engineers natin and regional directors,

**[02:03:06.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002854)  
kayo na ang maglinis nung data ninyo.

**[02:03:09.360] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002855)  
Dahil sa dami ng projects, almost 12,000 projects,

**[02:03:12.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002856)  
pag umakyat sa central,

**[02:03:14.620] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002857)  
napakahirap naman linisin nila.

**[02:03:17.620] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002858)  
Dapat sa district pa lang, sa regional pa lang, nalinis na ito.

**[02:03:21.820] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002859)  
Hopefully, I'm assuming this is not intentional,

**[02:03:23.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002860)  
I hope.

**[02:03:27.160] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002861)  
But we're flagging the department so that the department can clean up

**[02:03:32.180] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002862)  
and submit to the committee prior to the generation of the committee report.

**[02:03:38.340] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002863)  
Nagawa na natin ito, Secretary, in the past.

**[02:03:40.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002864)  
Nalinis na rin natin ito.

**[02:03:41.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002865)  
So, we'll work together in cleaning up this list.

**[02:03:45.860] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002866)  
So, I would like to thank yung aming,

**[02:03:50.040] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002867)  
meron kaming kinuha, hindi ho, AI yung kinuha namin, Secretary.

**[02:03:53.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002868)  
V.I., Valenzuela Intelligence, yung mga,

**[02:03:57.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002869)  
ay, doon ba?

**[02:03:58.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002870)  
Nasa taas pala.

**[02:03:59.920] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002871)  
Mga studyante ho sa aming pamantasan,

**[02:04:03.120] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002872)  
pamantasan ng Lusod ng Valenzuela,

**[02:04:05.700] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002873)  
na mga accounting graduates,

**[02:04:07.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002874)  
nag-intern sila para one by one talaga linisin.

**[02:04:10.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002875)  
I know artificial intelligence may limitation rin eh.

**[02:04:13.700] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002876)  
So, talagang one by one per station number tinignan nila

**[02:04:17.460] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002877)  
para siguradong malinis at maayos at accurate.

**[02:04:21.240] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002878)  
So, yun yung aming ginamit.

**[02:04:23.060] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002879)  
We used manual inspection and analysis.

**[02:04:28.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002880)  
But we'll submit this to the department para malinis natin itong listahan.

**[02:04:34.480] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002881)  
But any comments, Secretary?

**[02:04:37.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002882)  
First of all, thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

**[02:04:39.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002883)  
Thank you, Mr. Senate President, for this.

**[02:04:41.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002884)  
As you said, ginawa na po natin ito last year.

**[02:04:44.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002885)  
But I think, unang-una po,

**[02:04:49.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002886)  
dinabi-dami nga po ng mga proyekto.

**[02:04:53.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002887)  
Kung ito, talaga po ang decentralized structure ng DPWH

**[02:04:57.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002888)  
really assumes already na yung sinasubmit ng districts,

**[02:05:02.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002889)  
ng regions, yan po ay we assume regularity.

**[02:05:08.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002890)  
But ang ginawa po namin ngayon is

**[02:05:11.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002891)  
nag-add kami ng layers of protection and requirements

**[02:05:16.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002892)  
sa mga district engineers and the regions.

**[02:05:19.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002893)  
And I think the most powerful and most important,

**[02:05:22.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002894)  
kaya sinasabi ko nga sa,

**[02:05:23.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002895)  
aking mga undersecretary po dito ngayon,

**[02:05:26.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002896)  
if talagang may problema at hindi mapagliwanag,

**[02:05:29.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002897)  
because we will go through all of this together with the Committee on Finance,

**[02:05:35.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002898)  
Mr. Chairman,

**[02:05:37.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002899)  
kung meron talagang hindi mapagliwanag dyan,

**[02:05:40.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002900)  
if you recall po, meron pong Certificate of Implementability

**[02:05:42.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002901)  
na pinirmahan ng bawat district engineer.

**[02:05:46.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002902)  
Meaning, ina-attest niya, pirmado niya yan,

**[02:05:49.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002903)  
na wala yang duplicate,

**[02:05:51.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002904)  
wala yang,

**[02:05:53.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002905)  
previous funding,

**[02:05:54.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002906)  
wala yang overlap.

**[02:05:56.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002907)  
So, pagka po meron dito na talagang makikita naman,

**[02:06:01.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002908)  
madali naman natin po makita eh,

**[02:06:03.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002909)  
sa tulong ninyo, Mr. Chairman,

**[02:06:04.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002910)  
na kung meron ganun,

**[02:06:07.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002911)  
kakasuhan po namin kaagad yung mga district engineer na yun.

**[02:06:11.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002912)  
Kasi, pumirma po siya eh.

**[02:06:14.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002913)  
Pumirma po siya na ano eh,

**[02:06:16.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002914)  
na wagang ganun,

**[02:06:17.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002915)  
wagang duplicate.

**[02:06:18.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002916)  
Although, I would like to believe na

**[02:06:20.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002917)  
meron naman dyan na mapagliwanag,

**[02:06:23.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002918)  
no, alimbawa, alam nyo naman po,

**[02:06:25.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002919)  
usong-uso pa rin po dito ngayon,

**[02:06:26.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002920)  
yung phasing, wala naman to ay magagawa na.

**[02:06:28.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002921)  
Dahil nagsimula po na,

**[02:06:29.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002922)  
patingi-tingi, papatsi-patsi yung mga proyekto.

**[02:06:32.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002923)  
Eventually, kailangan matapos yan.

**[02:06:35.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002924)  
No?

**[02:06:35.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002925)  
But, if they cannot justify it based on this,

**[02:06:40.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002926)  
then,

**[02:06:41.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002927)  
pasensyaan na lang po.

**[02:06:43.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002928)  
No?

**[02:06:43.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002929)  
But, we will have to clean it up,

**[02:06:46.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002930)  
Mr. Chairman,

**[02:06:48.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002931)  
Mr. Senate President,

**[02:06:49.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002932)  
and that's what we will do.

**[02:06:50.900] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002933)  
So, Secretary, sabi ko nga,

**[02:06:52.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002934)  
dapat trabaho ito ng district engineer

**[02:06:55.580] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002935)  
and trabaho ito ng regional.

**[02:06:57.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002936)  
Bago umakyat ito sa central,

**[02:06:59.760] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002937)  
dapat maayos na maayos na ito.

**[02:07:01.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002938)  
But, obviously, hindi ganun nangyayari.

**[02:07:03.660] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002939)  
And, maganda na binigay nyo sa kanilang responsibility

**[02:07:07.380] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002940)  
and strict compliance with a written certification.

**[02:07:11.640] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002941)  
Yan naman ang kalangan natin, accountability.

**[02:07:14.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002942)  
We need to exert and assert that.

**[02:07:17.140] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002943)  
Kasi, kung hindi, hindi natin maayos talaga ito.

**[02:07:20.020] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002944)  
But, we'll submit to you the data, Secretary.

**[02:07:21.680] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002945)  
Just like what we did last time.

**[02:07:23.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002950)  
Thank you very much, Mr. Senate President.

**[02:07:25.440] Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian** (asr-002951)  
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

**[02:07:28.200] Unresolved** (asr-002952)  
Thank you, our Senate President.

**[02:07:29.640] Unresolved** (asr-002953)  
Next is Amy Marcos.

**[02:07:32.100] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002954)  
Maraming salamat.

**[02:07:33.220] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002955)  
Following up on our COA Senate President,

**[02:07:37.280] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002956)  
nais ko lang tanungin,

**[02:07:39.000] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002957)  
COA reported deficiencies in the planning,

**[02:07:41.460] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002958)  
detailed engineering, contract administration,

**[02:07:43.940] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002959)  
supervision, and monitoring

**[02:07:45.160] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002960)  
of almost 9,000 locally funded DPWH

**[02:07:49.220] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002961)  
and consultancy projects

**[02:07:51.580] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002962)  
totaling P531.281 billion.

**[02:07:57.840] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002963)  
Resulting in delays, suspension, spillages, slippages,

**[02:08:03.060] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002964)  
termination, incomplete works.

**[02:08:06.100] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002965)  
Have you undertaken corrective measures since then?

**[02:08:11.160] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002966)  
How many have already been completed?

**[02:08:13.140] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002967)  
Ilan na yung na-rectify?

**[02:08:14.440] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002968)  
Yung mga naayos dun sa sinita ng COA?

**[02:08:16.960] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002969)  
Apakadami eh, nasa P531 billion?

**[02:08:19.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002970)  
Mr. Chairman, Madam Senator,

**[02:08:25.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002971)  
may I ask Undersecretary Turgano

**[02:08:27.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002972)  
to just give an update po

**[02:08:30.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002973)  
because they've been working

**[02:08:32.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002974)  
Undersecretary Turgano is our Head of Legal

**[02:08:34.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-002975)  
and he's been working with COA po on this.

**[02:08:37.180] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002976)  
Ikaw to siya, Judge?

**[02:08:38.880] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-002977)  
Yes po, Madam Senator.

**[02:08:40.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002978)  
Tagalawak din yan.

**[02:08:41.860] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002979)  
One month.

**[02:08:43.300] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002980)  
O siya.

**[02:08:44.300] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002981)  
What's the timeline on this?

**[02:08:45.860] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002982)  
Have you discussed this with COA?

**[02:08:47.260] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002983)  
Ang laki ng halaga.

**[02:08:48.360] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002984)  
Sa P531B.

**[02:08:51.540] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-002985)  
Yes po, Madam Senator.

**[02:08:53.120] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-002986)  
We have been working with COA

**[02:08:54.700] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-002987)  
and right now po, ma'am,

**[02:08:56.600] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-002988)  
we are collating po

**[02:08:57.720] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-002989)  
the notice of suspensions

**[02:09:00.180] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-002990)  
and disallowances

**[02:09:01.180] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-002991)  
from the implementing offices.

**[02:09:04.440] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002992)  
Update kayo?

**[02:09:05.300] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002993)  
Meron na bang naayos diyan?

**[02:09:07.080] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002994)  
May timeline na ba yung projects?

**[02:09:08.700] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-002995)  
May natapos na ba kahit ilan?

**[02:09:11.060] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-002996)  
We are still in the process po, Madam Senator.

**[02:09:13.780] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-002997)  
Pero from the notice of suspensions,

**[02:09:18.360] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-002998)  
hindi nga yung 32%

**[02:09:22.020] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-002999)  
We have complied po.

**[02:09:23.540] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-003000)  
Up to 32%.

**[02:09:24.560] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003001)  
Doon sa COA eh?

**[02:09:26.340] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-003002)  
Yes po.

**[02:09:27.440] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003003)  
Tapos,

**[02:09:28.180] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003004)  
how will you ensure that the projects

**[02:09:31.460] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003005)  
already red flag by our

**[02:09:33.700] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003006)  
Senate President, including the

**[02:09:35.240] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003007)  
2027 budget,

**[02:09:37.140] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003008)  
are implementation ready with

**[02:09:39.140] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003009)  
POWs and all the requisite certifications

**[02:09:41.840] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003010)  
and don't encounter

**[02:09:43.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003011)  
the same planning and detailed

**[02:09:45.260] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003012)  
engineering deficiencies cited pa

**[02:09:47.360] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003013)  
sa COA?

**[02:09:48.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003014)  
Madam Senator.

**[02:09:50.240] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003015)  
Are we undertaking safeguards?

**[02:09:52.380] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003016)  
I know there are innovations

**[02:09:54.040] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003017)  
being undertaken.

**[02:09:55.780] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003018)  
Baka maulit na naman ito eh.

**[02:09:57.220] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003019)  
Napakalaki eh.

**[02:09:59.440] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003020)  
Hindi naman normal na ganito kalaki.

**[02:10:02.620] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003021)  
Hindi pa ako nakakakita.

**[02:10:03.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003022)  
This is accumulated na po over

**[02:10:05.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003023)  
I don't know how many years,

**[02:10:07.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003024)  
Madam Senator.

**[02:10:10.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003025)  
But what we are doing po now

**[02:10:12.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003026)  
when it was brought to our attention

**[02:10:14.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003027)  
nga po,

**[02:10:15.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003028)  
and the attention of USIC Turgano,

**[02:10:17.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003029)  
is immediately,

**[02:10:18.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003030)  
nakipag-usap na po kami sa COA.

**[02:10:20.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003031)  
Kasi nga po,

**[02:10:21.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003032)  
dahil decentralized po ang DPWH,

**[02:10:23.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003033)  
hindi, ano po eh,

**[02:10:25.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003034)  
ang responsable para i-address yung

**[02:10:29.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003035)  
AOMs,

**[02:10:30.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003036)  
suspensions and disallowances

**[02:10:32.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003037)  
are the district and the regional offices.

**[02:10:35.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003038)  
But now what we've tried to do is

**[02:10:37.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003039)  
for the first time po,

**[02:10:38.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003040)  
kinokonsolidate po ni USIC Turgano.

**[02:10:41.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003041)  
Kasi po, kailangan po talaga

**[02:10:42.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003042)  
mapabilis ang pag-clear

**[02:10:44.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003043)  
kung cleared naman talaga.

**[02:10:46.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003044)  
Pero kung hindi cleared,

**[02:10:47.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003045)  
kailangan po,

**[02:10:48.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003046)  
may kailangan po,

**[02:10:48.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003047)  
may kailangan po,

**[02:10:48.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003048)  
may legal action po talaga.

**[02:10:49.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003049)  
And I think that is what

**[02:10:50.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003050)  
Undersecretary Turgano

**[02:10:51.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003051)  
is doing with COA.

**[02:10:52.700] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003052)  
I appreciate if you supplied us

**[02:10:54.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003053)

**[02:10:56.080] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003054)  
before we go to plenary.

**[02:10:57.900] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003055)  
Kasi malamang tatanungin na naman

**[02:10:59.580] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003056)

sa mga suspended projects,

**[02:11:07.260] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003060)  
kung kailan matatapos,

**[02:11:09.740] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003062)  
para may masagot kami

**[02:11:12.060] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003063)  
sa aming mga kapwa-senador.

**[02:11:14.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003064)  
Yes, Madam Senator,

**[02:11:15.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003065)  
we will do that.

**[02:11:16.620] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003066)  
Okay, I'd like to go

**[02:11:18.280] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003067)  
to another item.

**[02:11:19.220] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003068)  
Thank you, Yusek Turgano.

**[02:11:22.300] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003069)  
I wrote a letter to the DPWH

**[02:11:24.580] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003070)  
received on September 2

**[02:11:26.420] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003071)  
and I never got a response.

**[02:11:29.420] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003072)  
Does the Secretary know

**[02:11:30.440] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003073)  
of this letter?

**[02:11:43.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003074)  
Yes, Madam Senator,

**[02:11:44.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003075)  
sorry po,

**[02:11:45.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003076)  
I have not,

**[02:11:46.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003077)  
ano po, no,

**[02:11:47.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003078)  
I have not,

**[02:11:48.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003079)  
seen it,

**[02:11:48.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003080)  
but I've been informed

**[02:11:49.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003081)  
by our Chief of Staff

**[02:11:50.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003082)  
Undersecretary Bernabe

**[02:11:51.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003083)  
that this is the letter

**[02:11:53.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003084)  
to correct me if I'm wrong

**[02:11:55.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003085)  
regarding the appointment

**[02:11:57.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003086)  
given by the palace

**[02:12:00.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003087)  
and the confirmation.

**[02:12:01.800] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003088)  
Yes, that's correct.

**[02:12:03.100] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003089)  
And that was September 2.

**[02:12:05.280] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003090)  
We are fully aware

**[02:12:06.360] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003091)  
as we all are

**[02:12:07.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003092)  
in the governments

**[02:12:08.040] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003093)

as I know it.

**[02:12:16.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003097)  
Inquiry into the status

**[02:12:18.060] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003098)  
of your appointment

**[02:12:19.200] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003099)  
and we are required

**[02:12:22.540] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003100)  
to respond in seven days

**[02:12:24.220] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003101)  
as the revised administrative code.

**[02:12:26.420] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003102)  
You were appointed

**[02:12:27.180] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003103)  
as Acting Secretary

**[02:12:28.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003104)  
of Public Works

**[02:12:29.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003105)  
September 1, 2025.

**[02:12:31.280] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003106)  
Is that correct?

**[02:12:31.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003107)  
That's correct, Madam Senator.

**[02:12:33.220] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003108)  
So you agree, therefore,

**[02:12:34.600] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003109)  
that Section 17.3,

**[02:12:37.420] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003110)  
Book 3 of Executive Order 292,

**[02:12:40.140] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003111)  
otherwise known

**[02:12:40.940] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003112)  
as the Administrative Code of 1987,

**[02:12:44.340] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003113)  
temporary designations

**[02:12:45.620] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003114)  
in an acting capacity

**[02:12:46.860] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003115)  
shall not,

**[02:12:47.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003116)  
exceed one year.

**[02:12:49.780] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003117)  
In fact, Pimentel v. Ermita,

**[02:12:52.380] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003118)  
GR 164978,

**[02:12:55.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003119)  
the Supreme Court

**[02:12:55.760] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003120)  
held this one-year limit

**[02:12:57.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003121)  
was a safeguard

**[02:12:59.900] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003122)  
to prevent

**[02:13:00.740] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003123)  
the use of acting appointments

**[02:13:03.560] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003124)  
as a way to circumvent

**[02:13:05.400] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003125)  
confirmation by the Commission

**[02:13:07.060] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003126)  
on Appointments.

**[02:13:09.460] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003127)  
We are having a meeting

**[02:13:10.200] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003128)  
now

**[02:13:10.860] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003129)  
of the Commission on Appointments.

**[02:13:12.620] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003130)  
Baka naman may appointment na kayo.

**[02:13:17.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003135)  
Madam Senator,

**[02:13:17.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003136)  
I must re-apologize.

**[02:13:20.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003137)  
I didn't see the letter.

**[02:13:22.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003138)  
It was not shown to me directly.

**[02:13:26.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003139)  
But our Chief of Staff,

**[02:13:27.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003140)  
Yusek Bernabe,

**[02:13:29.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003141)  
just told me that

**[02:13:30.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003142)  
the Office of the Press,

**[02:13:34.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003143)  
my appointment as Acting Secretary

**[02:13:36.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003144)  
is continuing

**[02:13:37.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003145)  
until

**[02:13:38.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003146)  
the session of Congress

**[02:13:43.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003147)  
ends and is in recess,

**[02:13:45.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003148)  
after which I will need to be

**[02:13:46.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003149)  
reappointed.

**[02:13:47.940] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003150)  
I'm sorry.

**[02:13:49.280] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003151)  
The negative,

**[02:13:50.820] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003152)  
I mean,

**[02:13:51.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003153)  
I'm well aware that

**[02:13:52.400] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003154)  
Yusek Bernabe

**[02:13:53.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003155)  
comes from a distinguished line

**[02:13:54.840] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003156)  
of Supreme Court justices

**[02:13:56.660] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003157)  
and they've been

**[02:13:59.200] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003158)  
very, very exemplary

**[02:14:01.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003159)  
in all things.

**[02:14:01.840] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003160)  
However,

**[02:14:03.000] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003161)  
I'm sorry,

**[02:14:04.600] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003162)  
but the Administrative Code

**[02:14:05.720] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003163)  
is very clear

**[02:14:06.340] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003164)  
that it's only one year.

**[02:14:08.100] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003165)  
And if you were appointed

**[02:14:09.200] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003166)  
in an acting capacity

**[02:14:10.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003167)  
September 1, 2025,

**[02:14:12.660] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003168)  
it has lapsed.

**[02:14:13.780] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003169)  
In 2026,

**[02:14:16.220] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003170)  
today is what?

**[02:14:17.800] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003171)  
It's a year.

**[02:14:17.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003172)  
25,

**[02:14:18.960] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003173)  
September 2026.

**[02:14:21.400] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003174)  
Overdue na po kayo

**[02:14:23.840] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003176)  
24 days.

**[02:14:25.780] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003177)  
What is the present status

**[02:14:26.980] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003178)  
therefore of your appointment?

**[02:14:28.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003179)  
Madam,

**[02:14:28.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003180)  
Madam Senator,

**[02:14:30.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003181)  
unfortunately,

**[02:14:31.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003182)  
I am not the appointing authority.

**[02:14:33.580] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003183)  
If you don't mind,

**[02:14:34.660] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003184)  
I will

**[02:14:35.080] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003185)  
I will confer

**[02:14:36.280] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003186)  
with the Office of the President

**[02:14:37.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003187)  
and ask

**[02:14:38.220] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003188)  
what is your legal basis,

**[02:14:40.840] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003189)  
if any,

**[02:14:41.560] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003190)  
for still heading

**[02:14:42.800] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003191)  
the DPWH?

**[02:14:44.400] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003192)  
If your appointment

**[02:14:45.520] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003193)  
has lapsed,

**[02:14:47.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003194)  
what's the legal basis

**[02:14:47.820] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003195)  
today of appearing here?

**[02:14:50.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003196)  
Madam Senator.

**[02:14:50.780] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003197)  
Section 17,

**[02:14:52.160] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003198)  
Book 3 of the Administrative Code.

**[02:14:54.340] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003199)  
I, I,

**[02:14:55.280] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003200)  
mga kaibigan tayo,

I'm just saying

you are in this

**[02:14:57.680] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003203)  
very uncomfortable position.

**[02:14:59.840] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003204)  
You're

**[02:15:00.000] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003224)  
saying that appointing is

**[02:15:02.040] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003225)  
clearly above your pay grade and you need

**[02:15:04.000] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003226)  
to ask the appointing authority, but

**[02:15:06.000] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003227)  
we are also

**[02:15:08.220] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003228)  
are required to

**[02:15:10.060] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003229)  
ask you why you're here.

**[02:15:12.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003230)  
Madam

**[02:15:12.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003231)  
Senator,

**[02:15:14.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003232)  
I'm here because I guess I have not yet been

**[02:15:18.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003233)  
fired. If you ask me,

**[02:15:20.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003234)  
I wish that

**[02:15:21.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003235)  
kung totoo po ito, sana po eh

**[02:15:23.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003236)  
tobo.

**[02:15:26.860] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003237)  
DOTR?

**[02:15:27.380] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003238)  
Tama po. O bakit biglang

**[02:15:28.740] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003239)  
ayaw ipasok sa DPWH?

**[02:15:32.020] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003240)  
Or perhaps you were reappointed?

**[02:15:33.960] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003241)  
Nare-appoint ba kayo?

**[02:15:35.480] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003242)  
Without anybody's knowledge?

**[02:15:38.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003243)  
We have not received

**[02:15:39.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003244)  
po eh, Madam Senator.

**[02:15:41.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003245)  
But again, I will raise this up po

**[02:15:43.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003246)  
with the Office of the President. But you are aware

**[02:15:45.440] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003247)  
that this is in clear violation of the

**[02:15:47.400] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003248)  
one-year limit on

**[02:15:48.960] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003249)  
appointments

**[02:15:51.160] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003250)  
in the Administrative Code?

**[02:15:56.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003251)  
Well,

**[02:15:56.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003252)  
according to our Chief of

**[02:15:58.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003253)  
Staff, I can still perform, but

**[02:16:00.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003254)  
Madam President, ay, Madam President,

**[02:16:03.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003255)  
Madam Senator, ano po,

**[02:16:06.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003256)  
I will have to confer with the Office of the

**[02:16:08.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003257)  
President po. Pasensya na po. I am not

**[02:16:10.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003258)  
a lawyer and to be quite

**[02:16:12.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003259)  
honest. We got some news

**[02:16:14.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003260)  
that you were appointed or

**[02:16:16.720] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003261)  
reappointed now, July 27,

**[02:16:18.960] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003262)  
and that it was a regular appointment,

**[02:16:21.200] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003263)  
but I have no

**[02:16:22.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003264)  
evidence. I have not received such.

**[02:16:24.620] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003265)  
As well.

**[02:16:25.960] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003266)  
Congress was already in session.

**[02:16:28.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003267)  
I have not received, Madam

**[02:16:31.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003268)  
Senator. So that doesn't exist.

**[02:16:32.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003269)  
Well, if it does, I have not seen it.

**[02:16:35.580] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003270)  
The contention is that

**[02:16:37.080] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003271)  
you are acting in

**[02:16:39.000] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003272)  
holdover? Is that correct?

**[02:16:42.080] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003273)  
What's the legal basis for that?

**[02:16:43.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003274)  
I think the term po is

**[02:16:45.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003275)  
continuing po yung

**[02:16:46.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003276)  
appointment as acting secretary.

**[02:16:49.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003277)  
I have never heard of a continuing

**[02:16:50.980] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003278)  
appointment. Holdover.

**[02:16:52.400] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003279)  
Holdover.

**[02:16:53.260] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003280)  
The holdover principle,

**[02:16:58.680] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003281)  
can abide only

**[02:17:00.700] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003282)  
if there is no prohibition.

**[02:17:03.060] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003283)  
There's an explicit prohibition

**[02:17:04.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003284)  
in the administrative code.

**[02:17:06.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003285)  
And this principle

**[02:17:08.620] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003286)  
of holdover cannot override

**[02:17:10.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003287)  
or circumvent what's specifically

**[02:17:12.340] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003288)  
and clearly stated

**[02:17:14.480] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003289)  
in a law.

**[02:17:16.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003290)  
Thank you for this, ma'am.

**[02:17:17.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003291)  
This is the first time I've

**[02:17:20.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003292)  
been told about this, so I will have to

**[02:17:22.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003293)  
again, I will have to

**[02:17:24.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003294)  
talk to the appointing authority

**[02:17:26.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003295)  
and let them know.

**[02:17:28.680] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003296)  
Ma'am, this is my commission

**[02:17:32.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003297)  
to speak.

**[02:17:33.600] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003298)  
Nasa Yusek Conti, Yusek Bernadette,

**[02:17:36.780] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003299)  
ang dami natin, Yusek

**[02:17:38.300] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003300)  
Turgano, apakadami.

**[02:17:40.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003301)  
The holdover principle

**[02:17:42.300] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003302)  
to explain is when

**[02:17:44.340] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003303)  
the official's legal term of offices

**[02:17:46.620] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003304)  
ended and no new

**[02:17:48.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003305)  
person has been duly appointed.

**[02:17:50.700] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003306)  
In your case, since your appointment

**[02:17:52.620] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003307)  
was only acting in the first

**[02:17:54.540] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003308)  
place, did you even have a fixed

**[02:17:56.580] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003309)  
term? Wala, diba?

**[02:17:58.340] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003310)  
Kasi acting. So, bale,

**[02:18:00.420] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003311)  
overacting na.

**[02:18:02.460] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003312)  
The one-year period under the

**[02:18:04.240] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003313)  
admin code was merely the maximum.

**[02:18:06.560] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003314)  
It's not the term of office for an

**[02:18:08.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003315)  
acting officer. Acting na,

**[02:18:10.900] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003316)  
holdover pa.

**[02:18:12.300] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003317)  
Paano ba ito?

**[02:18:14.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003318)  
Madam Chair,

**[02:18:15.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003319)  
I will have to again consult

**[02:18:18.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003320)  
with the Office of the President

**[02:18:19.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003321)  
because at the end of the day, they are the appointing

**[02:18:22.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003322)  
authority on this. My lawyers

**[02:18:24.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003323)  
seem to...

**[02:18:25.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003324)  
Yusek Turgano,

**[02:18:28.340] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003325)  
legal. Asek Melody,

**[02:18:30.740] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003326)  
legal din. Wala ba tayong

**[02:18:32.400] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003327)  
sagot?

**[02:18:33.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003328)  
Well, ang sagot po niya eh, pwede daw po.

**[02:18:36.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003329)  
But, permission to speak frankly,

**[02:18:38.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003330)  
ma'am, this is music to my ears kasi

**[02:18:40.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003331)  
medyo ayoko na rin pong nandito ako eh.

**[02:18:42.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003332)  
So, kung wala na ako dito.

**[02:18:44.740] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003333)  
Holdover?

**[02:18:45.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003334)  
Okay na po ito. Masaya pa po

**[02:18:48.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003335)  
ako.

**[02:18:52.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003336)  
So,

**[02:18:54.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003337)  
Madam Senator,

**[02:18:56.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003338)  
I will have to bring this up to the...

**[02:18:58.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003339)  
Office of the President.

**[02:18:59.240] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003340)  
I would appreciate

**[02:19:00.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003341)  
a legal explanation

**[02:19:03.660] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003342)  
of exactly your status as Secretary.

**[02:19:05.980] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003343)  
I'm not contesting it.

**[02:19:08.820] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003344)  
I'm simply inquiring

**[02:19:10.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003345)  
because I'm utterly and completely

**[02:19:12.160] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003346)  
ignorant. Also,

**[02:19:13.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003347)  
I would appreciate the courtesy

**[02:19:15.760] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003348)  
which is also required by law

**[02:19:18.360] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003349)  
that you reply.

**[02:19:19.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003350)  
Yes. Ma'am, I must really apologize

**[02:19:22.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003351)  
but really, this is the first time I've seen

**[02:19:24.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003352)  
the letter.

**[02:19:27.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003353)  
But, I will... Ano po?

**[02:19:28.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003354)  
I will reply immediately but

**[02:19:29.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003355)  
if you would grant me the

**[02:19:32.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003356)  
leeway to first

**[02:19:34.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003357)  
as the appointing authority because

**[02:19:36.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003358)  
we cannot reply

**[02:19:38.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003359)  
on our own because

**[02:19:39.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003360)  
hindi naman po akong nagagagay sa sarili ko

**[02:19:42.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003361)  
dito. To be quite

**[02:19:44.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003362)  
frank, it would be very welcome kung

**[02:19:46.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003363)  
totoo po yung sinasabi nyo na hindi na ako

**[02:19:48.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003364)  
Secretary ng DPWH.

**[02:19:50.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003365)  
I will be more than happy to

**[02:19:52.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003366)  
accept that kasi napakahirap

**[02:19:54.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003367)  
po ng trabaho nito.

**[02:19:55.460] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003368)  
In addition to the co-updates,

**[02:19:58.340] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003369)  
hihingi na lang ako ng paliwanag

**[02:20:00.680] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003370)  
para maintindihan namin ang maigi

**[02:20:02.800] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003371)  
kasi this issue has arisen

**[02:20:04.820] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003372)  
not once, not twice, but many times

**[02:20:07.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003373)  
and it's really becoming a sticking point.

**[02:20:09.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003374)  
So, ang

**[02:20:10.560] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003375)  
ibang tanong ko, may kinalaman

**[02:20:12.940] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003376)  
sa unobligated appropriations

**[02:20:14.900] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003377)  
na pagkalaki-laki.

**[02:20:16.220] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003378)  
Ito, nasabi na rin ninyo, nasa

**[02:20:18.480] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003379)  
680 billion.

**[02:20:20.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003380)  
And this follows the 2025

**[02:20:22.540] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003381)  
performance when only

**[02:20:24.420] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003382)  
45%

**[02:20:26.060] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003383)  
was actually dispersed.

**[02:20:28.340] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003384)  
So, patong-patong na yan, nasa

**[02:20:29.920] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003385)  
2025, tapos 2026,

**[02:20:32.820] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003386)  
apakas bagal ng

**[02:20:34.240] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003387)  
obligation and disbursement.

**[02:20:36.780] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003388)  
And I'm wondering

**[02:20:38.440] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003389)  
kung yung catch-up plan ninyo,

**[02:20:40.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003390)  
what are the monthly targets

**[02:20:42.260] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003391)  
and accountability measures that will

**[02:20:44.180] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003392)  
ensure that magbibigay

**[02:20:46.540] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003393)  
na naman kami ng pera,

**[02:20:48.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003394)  
pero yung unobligated, undisbursed

**[02:20:50.080] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003395)  
ng 2025, 2026,

**[02:20:52.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003396)  
nakatenga pa rin.

**[02:20:54.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003397)  
So, on one hand, what's the

**[02:20:56.300] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003398)  
status of the funding?

**[02:20:58.340] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003399)  
Baka dapat zero funding na kayo

**[02:21:00.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003400)  
dahil ang dami-dami niyong hindi pa

**[02:21:02.780] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003401)  
nadidisbursed. E di wag na tayo

**[02:21:04.700] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003402)  
magbigay ng budget dyan hanggang na

**[02:21:06.400] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003403)  
uubos. Ikalawa, what are

**[02:21:08.820] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003404)  
the timelines and the catch-up plan

**[02:21:10.900] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003405)  
for all of this?

**[02:21:12.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003406)

From the DPWH presentation.

**[02:21:26.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003411)  
Right now, Madam Chair,

**[02:21:28.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003412)  
there were, admittedly,

**[02:21:30.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003413)  
there was really a delay in the

**[02:21:32.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003414)  
operation, as

**[02:21:33.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003415)  
you have correctly pointed out.

**[02:21:37.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003416)  
But right now,

**[02:21:38.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003417)  
as of September 24, 2026,

**[02:21:41.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003418)  
we are

**[02:21:42.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003419)  
already at 76%

**[02:21:45.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003420)  
of projects awarded.

**[02:21:47.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003421)  
This includes

**[02:21:48.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003422)  
projects that are still pending

**[02:21:50.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003423)  
award due to the election ban.

**[02:21:52.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003424)  
Sorry, no, not that one.

**[02:21:56.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003425)  
Sorry,

**[02:21:56.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003426)  
sorry, down.

**[02:21:58.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003427)  
No, I think.

**[02:22:03.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003428)  
Sorry.

**[02:22:04.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003429)  
Can someone?

**[02:22:06.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003430)  
Can someone?

**[02:22:07.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003431)  
Yeah, there. Okay, thank you.

**[02:22:11.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003432)  
Madam Senator,

**[02:22:12.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003433)  
this is the current status po

**[02:22:14.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003434)  
right now, 76%

**[02:22:16.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003435)  
as of September 2024.

**[02:22:19.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003436)  
13,553

**[02:22:21.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003437)  
already obligated,

**[02:22:22.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003438)  
awarded. But

**[02:22:23.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003439)  
we are confident

**[02:22:25.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003440)  
that

**[02:22:26.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003441)  
by

**[02:22:28.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003442)  
the end of the fourth quarter

**[02:22:30.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003443)  
this year,

**[02:22:31.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003444)  
we will be able to

**[02:22:32.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003445)  
minimum at least

**[02:22:35.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003446)  
90-95% of this.

**[02:22:38.540] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003447)  
But you yourself said,

**[02:22:40.200] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003448)  
as of last month,

**[02:22:41.260] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003449)  
the award is only 32% total.

**[02:22:44.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003450)  
That's true.

**[02:22:45.380] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003451)  
How long will it take?

**[02:22:47.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003452)  
Nasa 76% na po tayo as of

**[02:22:50.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003453)  
September 24.

**[02:22:51.260] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003454)  
You committed to

**[02:22:52.800] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003455)  
awarding 80% by September.

**[02:22:56.420] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003456)  
So September na tayo.

**[02:22:57.280] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003457)  
Papaano ba ito?

**[02:22:58.820] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003458)  
Makakahabol pa ba yung [unclear]?

**[02:23:00.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003459)  
[unclear] May isang linggo pa po, ma'am.

**[02:23:02.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003460)  
I think we can hit 80% by September 30.

**[02:23:06.140] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003461)  
Ganoon?

**[02:23:06.680] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003462)  
Before the ban is released.

**[02:23:09.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003463)  
Opo.

**[02:23:10.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003464)  
May weekend pa.

**[02:23:10.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003465)  
Madam Senator,

**[02:23:15.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003466)  
Kung makikita ninyo po,

**[02:23:16.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003467)  
na-advertise naman po kasi ay 88% na.

**[02:23:19.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003468)  
So umaandar na po talaga iyan, no?

**[02:23:21.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003469)  
It's just waiting for the

**[02:23:23.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003470)  
submission of bids and the eventual award.

**[02:23:25.960] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003471)  
Okay.

**[02:23:27.280] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003472)  
I would appreciate an update

**[02:23:28.200] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003473)

**[02:23:30.680] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003474)  
para hindi na kami matakot.

We will comply.

**[02:23:33.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003476)  
We will comply.

**[02:23:33.580] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003477)  
And out of curiosity rin,

**[02:23:37.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003478)  
sino-sino ang mga cause of delay?

**[02:23:39.700] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003479)  
Ano bang mga region?

**[02:23:41.100] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003480)  
Ano bang mga distrito?

**[02:23:44.160] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003481)  
Sa totoo lang,

**[02:23:44.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003482)  
hindi ko pa yata nami-meet

**[02:23:46.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003483)  
yung mga regional director namin eh.

**[02:23:48.580] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003484)  
Walang nagre-report sa public works.

**[02:23:50.820] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003485)  
Hindi ko kilala kung sino-sino yung mga

**[02:23:52.580] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003486)

**[02:23:55.040] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003487)  
sa region namin.

**[02:23:56.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003488)  
I don't know anyone in public works

**[02:23:59.080] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003489)  
any longer. Very, very few.

**[02:24:00.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003490)  
Madam Senator,

**[02:24:03.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003491)  
we will send you a full report

**[02:24:04.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003492)

We will submit that.

Gusto ko lang tutukan yung flood control.

**[02:24:39.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003508)  
Yes, ma'am.

Sinabi mo nga, you have upwards of

**[02:24:42.040] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003510)

**[02:24:44.800] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003511)  
funded, no?

**[02:24:46.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003512)  
Dati po yun. Ngayon po,

**[02:24:48.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003513)  
nasa 83 yung po ang locally funded

**[02:24:50.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003514)

**[02:24:51.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003515)  
83 billion.

**[02:24:52.600] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003516)  
No, but you have 83.8 billion

**[02:24:54.620] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003517)

flood mitigation and drainage.

**[02:25:00.660] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003520)  
You have 20.8

**[02:25:02.440] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003521)  
for river basins and

**[02:25:04.440] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003522)  
principal rivers. Sa pagka-intindi

**[02:25:06.840] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003523)

**[02:25:10.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003524)  
Ma'am, ito, I'll break it down po, no?

**[02:25:12.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003525)  
For flood mitigation

**[02:25:13.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003526)  
structures and drainage system, it's 62.98.

**[02:25:17.780] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003527)  
O, asasabi ko lang.

Opo. Plus

**[02:25:21.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003530)  
for flood management.

**[02:25:24.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003531)  
For major river basins.

**[02:25:26.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003532)  
It's a total po of 83 points.

**[02:25:29.020] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003533)  
Ah, so the 83 is a cumulative

**[02:25:30.680] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003534)  
of the two. Hindi hiwalay.

**[02:25:32.520] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003535)  
Okay. So, in any case,

**[02:25:35.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003536)  
Dati po, 350, ma'am.

**[02:25:37.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003537)

May report mo dati.

**[02:25:40.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003539)  
Nagtataka lang ako dahil kasi

na kaliit-liit lang sa Nueva Ecija,

**[02:25:56.480] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003547)

**[02:26:00.000] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003548)  
Meron, di ba?

**[02:26:00.580] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003549)  
Yun lang, yun lang. Nandito, eh.

Example lang po yun, ma'am. Pasensya na po.

Pero walang kayong kristahan.

We will give you the list po. Marami po tayong...

Yung Pampanga.

**[02:26:14.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003556)  
In fact, marami po sa Region 3.

**[02:26:17.360] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003557)  
Sabi mo, coordinated

**[02:26:18.660] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003558)

si Eddie Guillen

**[02:26:22.760] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003560)  
noong isang araw. Iba naman yung

**[02:26:24.300] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003561)

**[02:26:28.840] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003563)  
of the Pampanga River Basin.

**[02:26:31.020] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003564)  
Yung sinasabi niya ninyo,

**[02:26:32.760] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003565)  
yung sabodam lang.

**[02:26:34.280] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003566)  
Asang kayo nag-coordinate niya?

**[02:26:36.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003567)  
Yung sa sabodam po, nag-coordinate po

**[02:26:38.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003568)

**[02:26:40.920] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003569)  
Iba yung sinasabi niya.

**[02:26:42.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003570)  
Meron po silang hiwagan.

**[02:26:43.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003571)  
Yung sa kanya, dam. Iba naman, impoundment.

**[02:26:46.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003572)  
They have three dams

**[02:26:48.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003573)  
that they will be implementing po

**[02:26:50.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003574)  
on their own.

**[02:26:52.460] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003575)  
Can we have a detailed listing of exactly

**[02:26:54.700] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003576)  
what's planned for

**[02:26:56.000] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003577)  
Central Luzon?

**[02:26:58.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003578)  
Ang dams namin ninyong pinakita rito

**[02:27:00.240] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003579)  
pero hindi nakatutok sa Central Luzon

**[02:27:02.380] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003580)  
kung saan humihiyaw at talagang bahambaha

**[02:27:04.560] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003581)

**[02:27:06.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003582)  
Madam Senator, rest assured po na marami po tayong

**[02:27:08.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003583)  
proyekto for flood management,

**[02:27:10.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003584)  
flood mitigation sa Central Luzon.

**[02:27:13.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003585)  
We will just give you the entire list.

**[02:27:15.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003586)  
The five sabodams, Rampo, were meant

**[02:27:16.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003587)  
to illustrate, Rampo, that we are

**[02:27:18.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003588)  
now looking at implementing

**[02:27:20.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003589)  
all the major river basin.

**[02:27:22.400] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003590)  
What's the process

**[02:27:24.240] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003591)  
of asking for paper?

**[02:27:26.000] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003592)  
First, kung matapos

**[02:27:29.580] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003593)  
ang flood control

**[02:27:30.640] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003594)  
controversy, only

**[02:27:32.380] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003595)  
45 individuals daw

**[02:27:34.360] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003596)  
and two of the 15 contractors

**[02:27:36.480] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003597)  
have actually

**[02:27:38.380] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003598)  
been charged in 26 cases

**[02:27:40.540] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003599)  
and the government

**[02:27:41.940] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003600)  
has recovered a mere

**[02:27:44.480] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003601)  
840 million

**[02:27:46.200] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003602)  
for the billions that have been

**[02:27:48.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003603)  
lost. May we

**[02:27:50.400] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003604)  
know how many public works

**[02:27:52.240] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003605)  
officials have been dismissed,

**[02:27:54.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003606)  
suspended,

**[02:27:56.000] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003607)  
or administratively charged?

**[02:27:59.100] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003608)  
Kasi ang alam namin,

**[02:28:00.300] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003609)  
yung mga ADE lang,

**[02:28:02.960] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003610)  
yung mga mababang

**[02:28:04.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003611)  
mga project

**[02:28:05.660] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003612)  
engineers.

**[02:28:07.520] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003613)  
Asa na yung mga big fish dito?

**[02:28:11.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003614)  
Madam Senator,

**[02:28:12.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003615)  
if I can give you a

**[02:28:14.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003616)  
rundown.

**[02:28:17.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003617)  
61

**[02:28:18.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003618)  
DPWH employees

**[02:28:22.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003619)  
have already been removed

**[02:28:24.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003620)  
and

**[02:28:24.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003621)  
have cases pending against them.

**[02:28:28.420] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003622)  
Okay.

**[02:28:29.720] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003623)  
Ilan yung contractor?

**[02:28:31.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003624)  
Okay. Contractors po, we have referred

**[02:28:33.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003625)

**[02:28:36.140] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003626)  
What does referred mean?

**[02:28:37.540] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003627)  
From what I understand, there's a mere

**[02:28:39.520] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003628)  
2 out of the 15 listed.

**[02:28:41.860] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003629)  
Sa dalwa lang ang nakakasuhan?

**[02:28:43.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003630)  
As you know, Madam

**[02:28:45.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003631)  
Senator, ang DPWH naman po,

**[02:28:47.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003632)  
hindi naman po kami ang nag-file

**[02:28:49.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003633)  
ng mga kaso. Ang ginagawa po

**[02:28:51.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003634)  
namin ngayon with the Office of the Ombudsman

**[02:28:54.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003635)  
is,

**[02:28:54.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003636)  
kami po ay nag-re-refer sa kanila

**[02:28:56.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003637)  
ng mga potential

**[02:28:58.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003638)

**[02:29:01.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003639)  
at 19 po

**[02:29:02.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003640)  
ang na-refer na namin na contractors.

**[02:29:05.180] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003641)  
Senado, masigasigang

**[02:29:06.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003642)  
ombudsman laban sa senador.

**[02:29:08.620] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003643)  
Pero yung pala sa flat control, hindi.

**[02:29:12.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003644)  
Unfortunately,

**[02:29:12.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003645)  
I cannot speak for the ombudsman but

**[02:29:14.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003646)  
I can only say po, ano po ang...

**[02:29:15.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003647)  
19 na po ang na-refer

**[02:29:18.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003648)

11 po ay blacklisted na namin

**[02:29:22.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003650)

**[02:29:24.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003651)  
And then,

**[02:29:27.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003652)

**[02:29:27.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003653)

ongoing investigations

**[02:29:37.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003657)  
due to our

**[02:29:39.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003658)  
partly due to the

**[02:29:41.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003659)

Mostly still in fact finding

this I'm not familiar with,

**[02:29:54.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003666)  
but I can only say

**[02:29:55.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003667)

contractors na po ang

**[02:30:07.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003673)  
na-refer namin. 11 have already

**[02:30:09.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003674)  
been blacklisted

**[02:30:11.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003675)

We will send.

U-Sector Ganapo will provide the list.

**[02:30:17.540] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003678)  
Maingay yung

**[02:30:35.560] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003687)

**[02:30:37.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003688)  
Again po, kami po, we refer

ang layo-layo sa spec.

**[02:31:11.380] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003705)  
Kaya, gusto ko lang

Mayroon ba nag-recover?

**[02:31:22.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003711)  
Mayroon ba nag-recover sa NOWHAN?

**[02:31:24.960] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003712)  
Suspend and recover.

Di ba dapat may

**[02:31:32.040] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003715)  
blacklisting?

**[02:31:32.960] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003716)  
May nangyari na pa doon?

**[02:31:35.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003717)  
Yeah. Madam, I've just

**[02:31:37.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003718)  
been informed by U-Sector

**[02:31:39.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003719)  
Gano is in charge with our investigations.

**[02:31:41.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003720)  
Nasubmit na po namin sa OSG

**[02:31:43.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003721)  
yung detalya. As you very well

**[02:31:45.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003722)  
know po, yung NOWHAN case po,

**[02:31:47.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003723)  
yun yung kaso na

**[02:31:49.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003724)  
unang-unang

**[02:31:50.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003725)  
finayagan ng kaso si former Congressman

**[02:31:53.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003726)  
Zalvico. In fact, I just recently

**[02:31:55.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003727)  
testified on that criminal case

**[02:31:57.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003728)  
in the Sandigan Bayan this week. Pero,

**[02:31:59.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003729)  
yung civil case, na-refer na rin

**[02:32:01.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003730)

**[02:32:03.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003731)  
on that. We will get

**[02:32:05.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003732)  
feedback po from the OSG, Madam

**[02:32:07.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003733)  
Senator, on the civil forfeiture

**[02:32:09.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003734)  
cases that are supposed

**[02:32:11.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003735)  
to be filed.

**[02:32:12.460] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003736)  
At saka, na-verify naman,

**[02:32:15.780] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003737)  
may iba pang projects yung

**[02:32:17.060] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003738)  
mismong contractor doon?

**[02:32:19.140] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003739)  
So, technically inspected

**[02:32:22.040] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003740)  
na ba yung ibang project?

**[02:32:23.420] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003741)  
Nahinto na ba yan? Na-blacklist na?

**[02:32:25.440] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003742)  
Paano na ba?

**[02:32:26.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003742-split-2)  
Nahinto na po yan.

**[02:32:26.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003743)  
Blacklisted na po. Ang San West po ay

**[02:32:29.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003744)  
blacklisted na. May kaso

**[02:32:31.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003745)  
na rin po siya.

**[02:32:31.800] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003745-split-2)  
Anong sinasabi? May closure

**[02:32:33.160] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003746)  
report na ba yung iba

**[02:32:35.180] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003747)

**[02:32:36.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003748)  
So, entire NOWHAN po, eh ano na po yun?

**[02:32:38.840] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003749)  
NOWHAN lang. Pero marami siyang project na iba.

**[02:32:42.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003750)  
All the projects po

**[02:32:43.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003751)  
of San West and the other, have all

**[02:32:45.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003752)  
been terminated na po.

**[02:32:46.220] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003753)  
We need

**[02:32:50.900] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003755)  
of the status kung natapos ba yun.

**[02:32:53.400] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003756)  
Kasi kung nakatenga, eh

**[02:32:54.800] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003757)  
hindi nakakatulong yun. Kaya malaman

**[02:32:57.120] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003758)  
kung itutuloy ba yan o ano.

**[02:32:59.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003759)  
Tama po. Just to inform the

**[02:33:01.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003760)  
Honorable Senator po and the body

**[02:33:02.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003761)  
about our process.

**[02:33:04.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003762)  
Kapag po meron ng mga

kontrata na under investigation

**[02:33:09.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003764)  
or suspended na

**[02:33:11.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003765)  
dahil nga blacklisted na po,

**[02:33:13.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003766)  
yan po ay unang-una

**[02:33:15.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003767)  
tineterminate po namin.

**[02:33:16.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003768)  
Pagkatapos pong materminate,

**[02:33:18.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003769)  
pagkakuha po namin ng necessary co-clearances,

**[02:33:21.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003770)  
then we have to

**[02:33:22.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003771)

Marami.

We will give you a full update.

**[02:33:30.360] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003776)  
Totoo ba yun?

**[02:33:31.660] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003777)  
Sabi wala pang nariripid kahit isa.

**[02:33:34.380] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003778)  
Kaya ang pakiwari ng tao,

**[02:33:36.260] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003779)  
ituloy-tuloy na.

**[02:33:36.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003780)  
Meron na po, Madam Senator.

**[02:33:38.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003781)  
We will give you a full report, not just on San West,

**[02:33:40.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003782)  
but with all the other

**[02:33:42.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003783)  
contractors that we have already terminated.

**[02:33:45.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003784)  
So, last hirit na lang

**[02:33:47.320] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003785)  
kasi one million questions

**[02:33:48.800] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003786)

**[02:33:50.500] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003787)  
Ang gusto ko na lang, eh humingi

**[02:33:52.680] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003788)

**[02:33:54.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003789)  
yung sinabi ninyo, nalinipat na

**[02:33:56.620] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003790)  
sa kaukulang mga department.

**[02:33:59.000] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003791)  
Kapag trip, napunta

**[02:34:00.880] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003792)

**[02:34:02.780] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003793)

**[02:34:12.560] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003798)  
isa. Kasi madaling mag-turnover,

**[02:34:15.380] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003799)  
pero kailangan malaman

**[02:34:16.620] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003800)

**[02:34:18.940] Senator Imee R. Marcos** (asr-003801)

**[02:34:24.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003804)  
We will provide this, Madam Senator.

**[02:34:27.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003805)  
Thank you very much.

**[02:34:29.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-003806)  
Next to ask questions is our

**[02:34:31.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-003807)  
Minority Leader, Senator Alan Caetano.

**[02:34:32.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003808)  
Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman, Senate President,

**[02:34:35.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003809)  
Secretary. Akala ko kanina

**[02:34:37.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003810)  
i-impeach ka na ni Senator

**[02:34:39.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003811)  
Aimee.

**[02:34:42.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003812)  
Nagbibilang ako,

**[02:34:43.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003813)  
lima lang kami, eh.

**[02:34:45.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003814)  
So kung may isa pa, baka

**[02:34:46.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003815)  
mag-umabot ng two-thirds. Pero

**[02:34:48.880] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003816)  
thank you for answering

**[02:34:51.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003817)  
graciously, Mr. Secretary.

**[02:34:53.240] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003818)  
Having said that, can I, I have

**[02:34:55.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003819)  
also a list of questions, but I'll be mindful

**[02:34:57.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003820)  
of the time.

**[02:34:59.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003821)  
Uh, Senator

**[02:35:01.140] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003822)  
Aimee stopped at flood control, so I just

**[02:35:03.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003823)  
have a few questions on

**[02:35:04.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003824)  
uh, on that. Um,

**[02:35:08.240] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003825)  
nasabi po niya

**[02:35:09.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003826)  
na

**[02:35:09.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003827)  
um,

**[02:35:12.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003828)  
numbers.

**[02:35:15.020] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003829)  
So as of today, ilan

**[02:35:17.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003830)  
ang conclusive na sa inyong investigation

**[02:35:19.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003831)  
na ghost projects across

**[02:35:21.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003832)  
the nation? More or less lang.

**[02:35:23.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003833)  
I mean...

**[02:35:26.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003834)  
Sampu po,

**[02:35:27.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003835)  
more or less. Conclusive.

**[02:35:29.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003836)  
Conclusive, Sampu. Meron bang

**[02:35:31.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003837)  
ghost projects sa Taguig?

**[02:35:32.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003838)  
Wala po. Sa aming investigation, wala po.

**[02:35:34.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003839)  
Okay. As of today, wala. Okay.

**[02:35:37.140] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003840)  
So, klaro yun, ha? Okay.

**[02:35:39.240] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003841)  
And you did do an investigation, and you

**[02:35:41.060] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003842)  
are doing investigation. Ongoing po, ata.

**[02:35:45.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003843)  
Opo.

**[02:35:46.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003844)  
Can you say that to the mic?

**[02:35:47.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003845)  
I think, ano, I think Yusek

**[02:35:49.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003846)  
Bernabe po has the exact figures.

**[02:35:51.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003847)  
Yusek Bernabe. Very good.

**[02:35:54.260] DPWH Undersecretary Ricardo P. Bernabe III** (asr-003848)  
Our

**[02:35:54.540] DPWH Undersecretary Ricardo P. Bernabe III** (asr-003849)  
Mr. Chair

**[02:35:56.940] DPWH Undersecretary Ricardo P. Bernabe III** (asr-003850)  
has verified 107

**[02:35:58.840] DPWH Undersecretary Ricardo P. Bernabe III** (asr-003851)  
projects in Taguig.

**[02:36:00.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003851-split-2)  
Out of

**[02:36:00.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003852)  
107.

**[02:36:02.100] DPWH Undersecretary Ricardo P. Bernabe III** (asr-003852-split-2)  
107 po.

**[02:36:02.980] DPWH Undersecretary Ricardo P. Bernabe III** (asr-003853)  
107. All of which have accomplishments.

**[02:36:05.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003854)  
Accomplishment. Okay. So I'll stop

**[02:36:07.020] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003855)  
there. Meron na kayong...

**[02:36:08.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003856)  
And everyone's open

**[02:36:10.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003857)  
to look at it. The media,

**[02:36:13.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003858)  
any investigating...

**[02:36:14.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003859)  
Because I myself want to know kung may ghost

**[02:36:17.060] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003860)  
kasi simula nung nangyari

**[02:36:18.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003861)  
itong flood control, tanong kami ng tanong

**[02:36:21.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003862)  
sa sarili namin lugar. Kahit

**[02:36:23.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003863)  
hindi ako taga DPWH.

**[02:36:24.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003864)  
Having said that, sinabi mo, Sekretary,

**[02:36:27.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003865)  
ano, 1911,

**[02:36:28.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003866)  
so 19 ang blacklisted?

**[02:36:31.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003867)  
19 po ang

**[02:36:32.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003868)  
either nakasuha na

**[02:36:36.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003869)  
o nag-refer na po kami

**[02:36:37.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003870)  
ng mga criminal

**[02:36:38.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003871)  
and civil

**[02:36:40.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003872)  
cases against 19.

**[02:36:42.140] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003873)  
And then ilan ang blacklisting?

**[02:36:43.470] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003873-split-2)  
11.

**[02:36:43.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003874)  
11. And blacklisting is the highest

**[02:36:46.820] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003875)  
in terms of administrative

**[02:36:48.780] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003876)  
penalties. So as you said, may

**[02:36:50.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003877)  
criminal, merong

**[02:36:52.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003878)  
civil. So civil

**[02:36:54.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003879)  
can be yung damages, yung bayad.

**[02:36:56.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003880)  
Criminal, of course, yung punishment, loss

**[02:36:58.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003881)  
of the... In the sense

**[02:37:00.660] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003882)  
that they lose their license and

**[02:37:02.580] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003883)  
they cannot participate, pinakamataas

**[02:37:04.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003884)  
yung blacklisting. Tama po yun.

**[02:37:06.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003885)  
So that doesn't mean na walang

**[02:37:08.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003886)  
ibang penalties yung mga iba na lower

**[02:37:10.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003887)  
than blacklisting. Tama po.

**[02:37:13.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003888)  
So meaning if there's...

**[02:37:15.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003889)  
I remember 2-3 years ago,

**[02:37:16.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003890)  
I asked how many contractors.

**[02:37:18.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003891)  
Parang 30, 35,000.

**[02:37:21.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003892)  
More or less.

**[02:37:32.820] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003893)  
Di ba may

**[02:37:33.680] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003894)  
accreditation? 11,000 daw po

**[02:37:35.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003895)  
ang may licensya.

**[02:37:36.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003896)  
11,000. So they're very much

**[02:37:39.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003897)  
in a minority. Kaya sila

**[02:37:41.140] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003898)  
nagpa-party list dahil marginalized.

**[02:37:44.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003899)  
11,000 lang sila.

**[02:37:45.900] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003900)  
So,

**[02:37:46.880] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003901)  
puwera-biro,

**[02:37:48.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003902)  
that doesn't mean na hindi

**[02:37:50.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003903)  
sila na blacklist. Hindi ibig

**[02:37:52.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003904)  
sabihin na hindi nililinis

**[02:37:54.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003905)  
ngayon yung listahan ng

**[02:37:55.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003906)  
contractors, right?

**[02:37:57.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003906-split-2)  
Tama po yan.

**[02:37:58.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003907)  
Ongoing po yan. This is, I think

**[02:38:00.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003908)  
the third year, I've been asking about

**[02:38:02.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003909)  
a certain contractor, J.B. Legaspi.

**[02:38:06.660] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003910)  
The first time I mentioned

**[02:38:08.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003911)  
it is that

**[02:38:09.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003912)  
he had a contract

**[02:38:12.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003913)  
na parang

**[02:38:14.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003914)  
huhukayin mo four floors.

**[02:38:18.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003915)  
Delayed and delayed and delayed

**[02:38:20.020] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003916)  
and delayed.

**[02:38:20.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003917)  
And then, nine-negotiate

**[02:38:22.600] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003918)  
niya na two floors na lang

**[02:38:24.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003919)  
dahil matigas daw yung lupa, dahil adobe.

**[02:38:27.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003920)  
And I asked already

**[02:38:28.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003921)  
twice here, at

**[02:38:30.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003922)  
ang sinabi, it's because

**[02:38:32.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003923)  
that cannot

**[02:38:34.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003924)  
be a reason because nagsosoyl

**[02:38:36.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003925)  
test naman kayo bago nyo i-bid yung

**[02:38:38.240] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003926)  
project. So, when I looked around,

**[02:38:40.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003927)  
he's the same contractor

**[02:38:41.940] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003928)  
na napakaraming ibang

**[02:38:44.580] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003929)  
mga delayed

**[02:38:46.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003930)  
projects at iba yung mga ospital.

**[02:38:48.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003931)  
So, my question regarding

**[02:38:50.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003932)  
that is, one, can you look into it?

**[02:38:52.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003933)  
Number two, I'll give you a list of certain

**[02:38:54.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003934)  
projects in the same manner that

**[02:38:56.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003935)  
when other senators requested

**[02:38:58.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003936)  
let's say, papers from Taguig,

**[02:39:00.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003937)  
can we also request documents

**[02:39:02.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003938)  
regarding certain projects

**[02:39:04.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003939)  
to see ourselves? Whether or

**[02:39:06.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003940)  
not may problema lang ba siya sa isang

**[02:39:08.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003941)  
project, to be fair to him,

**[02:39:10.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003942)  
or modus ba talaga niya to? Because I

**[02:39:12.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003943)  
heard, I've said this in the hearing twice

**[02:39:14.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003944)  
na, he has more lawyers

**[02:39:16.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003945)  
than engineers. And I think

**[02:39:18.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003946)  
he has had many problems,

**[02:39:20.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003947)  
with many departments.

**[02:39:22.020] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003948)  
Can you take a look at that?

**[02:39:23.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003948-split-2)  
We will definitely take a look.

**[02:39:25.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003949)  
And just to say,

**[02:39:27.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003950)  
Mr. Chairman,

**[02:39:28.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003951)  
Honorable Minority Leader, that

**[02:39:29.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003952)  
we are, unacceptable po

**[02:39:32.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003953)  
yung mga delays and slippages sa amin.

**[02:39:34.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003954)  
And, mabilis po kami ngayon

**[02:39:37.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003955)  
na mag-impose ng mga liquidated

**[02:39:38.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003956)  
damages kapag may delays.

**[02:39:40.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003957)  
And if necessary,

**[02:39:42.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003958)  
pagka-grabe na po talaga,

**[02:39:45.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003959)  
we will terminate and then we will

**[02:39:46.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003960)  
file the necessary administrative charges.

**[02:39:47.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003961)  
Many of his projects is in Metro Manila, so you'll be in

**[02:39:50.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003962)  
a good position.

**[02:39:51.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003963)  
We will check po.

**[02:39:52.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003964)  
Whether it's a trend. I mean, I don't

**[02:39:54.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003965)  
if a person has

**[02:39:57.020] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003966)  
20 projects of different

**[02:39:58.820] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003967)  
sizes at yung isa may slippage

**[02:40:00.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003968)  
or dalawa, wala namang perfecto

**[02:40:02.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003969)  
eh, diba? Pero kung most of the

**[02:40:04.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003970)  
projects may ganong sistema,

**[02:40:07.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003971)  
then magkakaproblema

**[02:40:08.940] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003972)  
tayo.

**[02:40:09.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-003972-split-2)  
We will do

**[02:40:10.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003972-split-3)  
so. I want to take a step

**[02:40:10.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003973)  
backward and just look at the bigger picture

**[02:40:12.680] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003974)  
and look at flood control in a different

**[02:40:14.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003975)  
way, no? So I've challenged

**[02:40:16.780] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003976)  
myself, Secretary, to look at

**[02:40:18.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003977)  
flood control in a non-particularized,

**[02:40:20.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003978)  
partisan way. So hindi lang yung

**[02:40:22.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003979)  
criminal pagnanakaw

**[02:40:24.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003980)  
aspect. If

**[02:40:26.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003981)  
you do a simple Google

**[02:40:28.600] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003982)  
search or an AI search,

**[02:40:30.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003983)  
in the 1960s,

**[02:40:33.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003984)  
close to 70%

**[02:40:34.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003985)  
of Filipinos lived in rural

**[02:40:36.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003986)  
areas and mga 30%

**[02:40:39.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003987)  
lived in

**[02:40:42.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003988)  
urban areas. 1980,

**[02:40:44.580] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003989)  
34, 66.

**[02:40:46.660] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003990)  
As far as 1995,

**[02:40:48.240] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003991)  
37% urban,

**[02:40:50.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003992)  
63% rural. But if

**[02:40:52.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003993)  
you go to, let's say, 2015,

**[02:40:54.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003994)  
nag-51% na yung

**[02:40:56.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003995)  
urban. Five years

**[02:40:58.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003996)  
before that, 2010, 45%.

**[02:41:00.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003997)  
2025,

**[02:41:02.320] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003998)  
ngayon, according to the World

**[02:41:04.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-003999)  
Bank, 56-44.

**[02:41:06.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004000)  
But again, I haven't

**[02:41:08.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004001)  
done the deeper research, but if you just

**[02:41:10.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004002)  
Google it, parang 70-

**[02:41:12.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004003)  
80% of total land is

**[02:41:14.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004004)  
rural. So mas

**[02:41:16.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004005)  
madami nang nasa

**[02:41:18.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004006)  
urban, tapos napakali,

**[02:41:20.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004007)  
ito pa ng lupa ng

**[02:41:22.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004008)  
urban. Do you have a picture of the map?

**[02:41:24.940] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004009)  
Nung may population.

**[02:41:27.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004010)  
So,

**[02:41:28.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004011)  
for example, dito kasama na yung

**[02:41:29.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004012)  
rural at saka urban, pero

**[02:41:32.060] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004013)  
Central Luzon lang ito,

**[02:41:35.060] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004014)  
Metro Manila, and

**[02:41:36.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004015)  
Southern Luzon.

**[02:41:38.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004016)  
Of course, if you look at Metro

**[02:41:40.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004017)  
Manila, it is the narrowest areas,

**[02:41:43.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004018)  
area that

**[02:41:44.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004019)  
is the most dense.

**[02:41:46.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004020)  
So one of the problem of

**[02:41:48.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004021)  
flooding is

**[02:41:50.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004022)  
rapid urbanization.

**[02:41:52.940] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004023)  
At sama-sama na yung problema

**[02:41:54.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004024)  
doon. One, tama ba yung

**[02:41:56.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004025)  
pagbibigay ng mga building permits?

**[02:41:59.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004026)  
Sa mga esteros ba?

**[02:42:00.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004027)  
By the river, did they

**[02:42:02.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004028)  
build? Kamusta yung

**[02:42:04.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004029)  
sanitation? Pagtatapon ng

**[02:42:06.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004030)  
basura? Yung mga

**[02:42:08.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004031)  
right of way ba? I think if

**[02:42:10.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004032)  
you work with DNR, to

**[02:42:12.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004033)  
look at the maps, makikita

**[02:42:14.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004034)  
nyo all over Metro Manila, marami

**[02:42:16.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004035)  
ng mga creeks and

**[02:42:18.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004036)  
tributaries, etc. na natatakot.

**[02:42:20.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004037)  
Akpan na, no? So

**[02:42:22.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004038)  
Secretary, it might be too late

**[02:42:24.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004039)  
in certain areas like Metro

**[02:42:26.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004040)  
Manila

**[02:42:26.780] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004041)  
to do something

**[02:42:30.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004042)  
radical. But that's what

**[02:42:32.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004043)  
we said in the 1980s when there was no

**[02:42:34.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004044)  
one in Mactan, for example.

**[02:42:36.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004045)  
So when you're in DOTR,

**[02:42:38.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004046)  
you were looking at Cebu and

**[02:42:40.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004047)  
finding solutions there. But actually

**[02:42:42.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004048)  
in the 1980s, we were already talking

**[02:42:44.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004049)  
na sana hindi mangyari

**[02:42:46.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004050)  
yung nangyari sa Metro Manila, sa

**[02:42:48.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004051)  
Metro Cebu.

**[02:42:50.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004052)  
So I'd like to

**[02:42:52.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004053)  
encourage you to take a look at the building

**[02:42:54.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004054)  
code. How to

**[02:42:56.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004055)  
I don't

**[02:42:58.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004056)  
know the right word, no?

**[02:43:00.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004057)  
Walang red tape, but how to empower

**[02:43:02.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004058)  
and work closely

**[02:43:04.140] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004059)  
with the local governments.

**[02:43:06.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004060)  
Kasi

**[02:43:06.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004061)  
it's just like the Pasig River,

**[02:43:10.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004062)  
di ba? We've been trying to rehabilitate

**[02:43:12.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004063)  
it since panahon ni

**[02:43:14.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004064)  
First Lady Melda,

**[02:43:16.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004065)  
then kay President Cory, then kay

**[02:43:18.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004066)  
kay FVR, medyo sumika.

**[02:43:20.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004067)  
Kay Manning, and then now

**[02:43:21.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004068)  
there's a beautiful development among

**[02:43:24.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004069)  
the Pasig River. But one reason

**[02:43:26.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004070)  
na hindi

**[02:43:28.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004071)  
madali is because

**[02:43:30.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004072)  
yung zoning and

**[02:43:32.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004073)  
yung planning and yung basura and yung

**[02:43:34.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004074)  
siltation overtook

**[02:43:36.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004075)  
na the natural process of

**[02:43:38.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004076)  
rivers and lakes and

**[02:43:40.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004077)  
the ocean cleaning itself, di ba?

**[02:43:42.940] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004078)  
Secondly,

**[02:43:44.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004079)  
engineering interventions,

**[02:43:47.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004080)  
what's the right word?

**[02:43:48.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004081)  
Yung nabiten. So when you

**[02:43:50.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004082)  
made the Manggahan Spillway,

**[02:43:52.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004083)  
when I say you, the DPWH,

**[02:43:55.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004084)  
ang kasunod dapat nun yung

**[02:43:56.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004085)  
Paranaque Spillway, di ba?

**[02:43:58.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004086)  
Pero nung nagawa na yung South Super Highway

**[02:44:00.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004087)  
at nagmahal na

**[02:44:02.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004088)  
yung right of way, and then hindi pa

**[02:44:04.680] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004089)  
naman ganong karami yung tao eh.

**[02:44:06.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004090)  
We think of the 80s as just

**[02:44:08.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004091)  
yesterday for those of us who are

**[02:44:10.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004092)  
50 to 80 years old, di ba?

**[02:44:13.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004093)  
But actually, it's a

**[02:44:14.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004094)  
generation ago, and

**[02:44:15.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004095)  
just going to the airport eh, asinan dati

**[02:44:18.600] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004096)  
lahat yun eh. So pagka

**[02:44:20.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004097)  
umulan, meron pang pupuntahan

**[02:44:22.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004098)  
yung tubig

**[02:44:24.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004099)  
and all of these creeks going to the

**[02:44:26.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004100)  
Laguna Lake, and punong-puno pa

**[02:44:28.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004101)  
ng puno ang Rizal and

**[02:44:29.900] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004102)  
the Laguna, no?

**[02:44:32.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004103)  
So I'm trying to help here,

**[02:44:34.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004104)  
Secretary, in saying that

**[02:44:35.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004105)  
it's not only

**[02:44:37.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004106)  
the judicious use of

**[02:44:39.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004107)  
flood control money,

**[02:44:42.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004108)  
it's not only going against

**[02:44:44.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004109)  
the corrupt, it's a balance of

**[02:44:46.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004110)  
where to build, where

**[02:44:48.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004111)  
to live, etc.

**[02:44:50.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004112)  
So my question there is

**[02:44:51.680] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004113)  
do you have a computation

**[02:44:54.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004114)  
how much of the PWH

**[02:44:56.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004115)  
money is going to rural, and how

**[02:44:58.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004116)  
much is going to urban?

**[02:45:00.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004117)  
If you do, I'd like to hear it. If not, can you have it computed?

**[02:45:04.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004118)  
I mean, you are absolutely correct, Mr. Chairman, that there's a lot of catching up to do in terms of building the appropriate infrastructure to mitigate the effects of flooding.

**[02:45:21.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004119)  
Because it's a combination of many factors and overpopulation, obviously, is one of it. As a result, garbage is another problem that also adds to it.

**[02:45:35.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004120)  
But I want to zero in on one important point that you made, which is I think we really need to take a hard look at the building code.

**[02:45:42.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004121)  
And I'm very happy for that. The President and Congress has already made this a priority.

**[02:45:48.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004122)  
Kasi po talaga, we really need to be very strict

**[02:45:51.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004123)  
in enforcing no-build zones along waterways. I think if there is one major intervention po that needs to be done, and it is urgent, is to reimpose the no-build zones along waterways.

**[02:46:10.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004124)  
It is not easy at all, especially in Metro Manila, kasi nga po mahirap po tayong magpaalis ng ating mga kababayan

**[02:46:20.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004125)  
na nandoon na nang matagal, at mayroon po sa tabi ng waterway, nasa ibabaw na po.

**[02:46:28.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004126)  
Meaning, napatungan na po yung water. So I think that is very, very important.

**[02:46:33.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004127)  
But definitely, Honorable Minority Leader, we will be working hard with you on this and how we address it.

**[02:46:41.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004128)  
But you are absolutely correct that this is not a simple solution, given the challenges that we face because of rapid urbanization.

**[02:46:49.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004129)  
I agree with you totally.

**[02:46:51.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004130)  
Especially, where are the no-building zones?

**[02:46:53.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004131)  
It's like when you're in the DOTR, there's no compromise on the no-fly zones or the heights, right?

**[02:47:00.140] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004132)  
Because it endangers.

**[02:47:01.780] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004133)  
It's the same with reclamation.

**[02:47:04.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004134)  
But that's another topic which is quite sensitive given the investments.

**[02:47:08.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004135)  
But we should really have a study, maybe, of future reclamations.

**[02:47:17.240] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004136)  
But when you say garbage and overpopulation,

**[02:47:21.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004137)  
you're familiar.

**[02:47:22.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004138)  
I think you're the one who made this graph for me 10 years, no, 13 years ago

**[02:47:27.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004139)  
when you were telling me about Clark.

**[02:47:31.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004140)  
So, if you look at this graph,

**[02:47:32.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004141)  
overpopulation relatively.

**[02:47:45.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004142)  
Kasi ang laki ng ating bansa at ang laki ng lupa ng bansa.

**[02:47:49.020] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004143)  
Pero kung titignan mo,

**[02:47:49.600] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004144)  
overpopulation in NCR.

**[02:47:50.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004145)  
Ang NCR.

**[02:47:51.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004146)  
Ang NCR, 21,000 inhabitants per square kilometer.

**[02:47:56.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004147)  
If you look at CAR, it's 91.

**[02:47:58.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004148)  
Region 2, it's 124.

**[02:48:00.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004149)  
Region 11, it's 257.

**[02:48:02.820] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004150)  
Even in Region 12, it's 509.

**[02:48:04.880] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004151)  
Even in Region 3 and 4A,

**[02:48:11.680] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004152)  
which is quite highly populated na rin,

**[02:48:14.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004153)  
ang layo, 567 and less than 1,000 compared to 21,000.

**[02:48:20.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004154)  
But that's where I think the shift,

**[02:48:22.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004155)  
and I know you believe in this because you moved,

**[02:48:24.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004156)  
you and Secretary Tugade moved the OTR to Clark to prove a point.

**[02:48:30.660] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004157)  
So, the thing is in Europe, for example,

**[02:48:34.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004158)  
pagka rural, meron kuryente, may tubig, may internet, may eskwelahan, may ospital.

**[02:48:43.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004159)  
Except that it's more agricultural and green, di ba?

**[02:48:46.660] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004160)  
Sa Pilipinas, pag rural, it's dirt poor.

**[02:48:50.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004161)  
Di ba?

**[02:48:51.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004162)  
Wala.

**[02:48:51.880] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004163)  
I mean, it has basic infrastructure,

**[02:48:54.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004164)  
maybe electricity, some walang electricity,

**[02:48:57.320] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004165)  
or yung usual natin sinasabi, sa bayan po, kompleto.

**[02:49:02.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004166)  
Pero sa amin, sa baryo, wala.

**[02:49:05.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004167)  
Di ba? Marami pa rin ganon.

**[02:49:07.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004168)  
So, I just like to encourage you as you go to the Senate and the BICAM,

**[02:49:14.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004169)  
if we don't build it, it won't come.

**[02:49:16.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004170)  
Di ba?

**[02:49:16.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004171)  
So, if we don't put the roads, we don't put the internet,

**[02:49:20.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004172)  
we don't put the hospitals, the schools, in those rural areas,

**[02:49:25.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004173)  
lilipat lang talaga sa urban.

**[02:49:27.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004174)  
And if you look at the budget, the last year of GMA, President Arroyo,

**[02:49:33.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004175)  
50 billion lang ang budget eh.

**[02:49:36.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004176)  
And if you look at 2024, it was like 1.1 or 1.2 trillion.

**[02:49:41.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004177)  
So, to be fair to the men and women of DPWH Sec Vins,

**[02:49:46.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004178)  
yung sinasabing walang program of work, that wasn't intentional.

**[02:49:50.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004179)  
At the start, if you look at Pinoy's time,

**[02:49:55.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004180)  
parang 100 or 200 billion hanggang 400 billion, dumoble, trumiple.

**[02:50:01.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004181)  
And then when you look at the build, build, build during Duterte's time,

**[02:50:05.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004182)  
then when you look at the, what's yung kay President Marcos,

**[02:50:09.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004183)  
build better, more, lalong tumaas until, of course, the flood control scams.

**[02:50:15.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004184)  
So, naturally, if you have a district engineer or regional director,

**[02:50:18.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004185)  
na they can do 10 programs of work at 10 billion pesos,

**[02:50:23.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004186)  
suddenly, bibigyan mo ng 50 billion pesos.

**[02:50:27.140] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004187)  
Kasi to be fair, may program of work naman pag binid.

**[02:50:30.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004188)  
Ang pinag-uusapan natin sa budget.

**[02:50:33.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004189)  
Having said that, hinahabol nyo, ginagawa nyo yung makakaya nyo.

**[02:50:37.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004190)  
But I'll leave that point and just like to encourage us and to keep saying it.

**[02:50:43.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004191)  
The biblical principle is, kung ano yung tanim natin, yan ang anihin natin.

**[02:50:46.680] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004192)  
So, we can't keep complaining of massive orders.

**[02:50:48.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004193)  
Urbanization.

**[02:50:49.820] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004194)  
And then not building in the rural.

**[02:50:51.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004195)  
We're all guilty of it.

**[02:50:53.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004196)  
So, for example, when you were in the BCDA, maganda yung programs ng tagig.

**[02:50:59.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004197)  
May scholarship, libre gamot.

**[02:51:01.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004198)  
So, when we build roads and schools, the workers from Batangas, from Quezon,

**[02:51:07.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004199)  
from Bicol, from Bulacan, from Nueva Ecija,

**[02:51:10.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004200)  
oy, bakit kami uuwi ng weekend?

**[02:51:13.660] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004201)  
Dali na namin pamilya namin dito.

**[02:51:16.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004202)  
So, pretty soon, mas malalala.

**[02:51:18.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004203)  
Laki population na namin.

**[02:51:20.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004204)  
Pretty soon, you need more roads.

**[02:51:23.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004205)  
Mas marami na rin ang basura and everything.

**[02:51:25.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004206)  
So, it's, how do we call it?

**[02:51:27.580] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004207)  
Yung baliktad, a virtuous cycle versus a vicious cycle.

**[02:51:33.780] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004208)  
So, I hope, for example, kung matuloy yung Philippine Silicon Valley,

**[02:51:42.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004209)  
yung PacSilica na pinapropose.

**[02:51:44.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004210)  
I'm hoping, pag yun ay pinapropose,

**[02:51:47.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004211)  
meron plano.

**[02:51:48.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004212)  
Hindi lang sa Clark, pero sa buong Pampanga at sa buong Tarlac.

**[02:51:53.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004213)  
Kasi napakarami pang lupa dun eh.

**[02:51:56.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004214)  
Diba?

**[02:51:56.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004215)  
Then, if the train to Subic and then the, I think there's a train to Nueva Ecija, diba?

**[02:52:00.900] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004216)  
So, I'm not sure kung tinuloy yun.

**[02:52:03.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004217)  
But kung tinuloy yun, and that's our, doon naman yung Bigas eh, diba?

**[02:52:08.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004218)  
Tapos papuntang Isabela.

**[02:52:10.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004219)  
So, wala ka sa DOTR, but still intimately related.

**[02:52:14.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004220)  
So, I'll leave that to the second, my third.

**[02:52:18.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004221)  
Third point na, can you show the LLRN?

**[02:52:25.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004222)  
When did the LLRN start?

**[02:52:27.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004223)  
I think it's Yusek sa Dain.

**[02:52:29.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004224)  
Feel free, Secretary Kungsep.

**[02:52:31.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004225)  
More or less, you started construction when?

**[02:52:40.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004226)  
It only start, actual construction, Mr. Chairman, only started late 2025.

**[02:52:47.320] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004227)  
Okay.

**[02:52:47.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004228)  
Some, some.

**[02:52:48.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004229)  
Packages, I think, early this year.

**[02:52:50.600] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004230)  
Even of the Laguna side, 2025 lang nag-start.

**[02:52:55.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004231)  
Go ahead, sir.

**[02:52:57.540] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004232)  
Sir, that's the award of the three contracts po.

**[02:53:00.300] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004233)  
Mga November 2025 na.

**[02:53:02.060] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004234)  
Okay.

**[02:53:02.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004235)  
At any point from the planning, this is not a trick question, so just answer truthfully, ha?

**[02:53:08.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004236)  
Hindi ko kayo inihuli dito, may point akong gagawin, pero hindi kayo to.

**[02:53:11.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004237)  
At any time between the planning of the LLRN and even before that,

**[02:53:16.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004238)  
what did the President...

**[02:53:18.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004239)  
Pinoy and Secretary Singson called the PPP sana kung nung...

**[02:53:23.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004240)  
Hindi LLRN pa tawag nila eh, C6 ba tawag nila?

**[02:53:27.680] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004241)  
It's C6, about C6 projects po.

**[02:53:29.980] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004242)  
Yung last term na po.

**[02:53:31.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004243)  
At any time, whether it was the C6 or whether it's the LLRN,

**[02:53:34.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004244)  
did you apply for reclamation permit sa PRA?

**[02:53:39.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004245)  
Yes or no lang yun?

**[02:53:40.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004246)  
And it's not a trick question, just answer truthfully.

**[02:53:42.600] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004247)  
As to my recall, wala po na.

**[02:53:44.600] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004248)  
Wala, okay.

**[02:53:45.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004249)  
And you're familiar with Patrick Gatan, of course, no?

**[02:53:48.800] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004250)  
Yes.

**[02:53:49.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004251)  
Patrick Gatan was appointed 2000, 2001, 2002

**[02:53:55.600] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004252)  
to take a look at the West of Manggahan Flood Control Project.

**[02:54:00.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004253)  
Pasensya na, Sek, I'll be looking at this side

**[02:54:02.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004254)  
kasi mas bata yung mga na this side.

**[02:54:05.600] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004255)  
I don't think they have the institutional and historic...

**[02:54:09.600] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004256)  
Pasensya na po kayo sa side na to na natabihan nyo lang si Yusek Sadein.

**[02:54:15.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004257)  
Sir, yung West of Manggahan Project,

**[02:54:18.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004258)  
kay Sekretary Vigilar pa yun?

**[02:54:22.460] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004259)  
It started from that period.

**[02:54:24.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004260)  
To your knowledge, did PRA require a permit from the DPWH at that time?

**[02:54:32.540] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004261)  
I think wala po siya.

**[02:54:33.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004262)  
Okay, okay.

**[02:54:35.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004263)  
2007 na tapos, 2007-2008 yung road dike

**[02:54:39.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004264)  
dun sa package ng West of Manggahan from Bicutan all the way to Taytay.

**[02:54:46.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004265)  
After that,

**[02:54:47.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004266)  
dinagdagan pa yung road dike.

**[02:54:49.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004267)  
During that time, do you remember if the PRA asked for a reclamation permit?

**[02:54:54.440] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004268)  
Wala po siya.

**[02:54:55.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004269)  
Okay.

**[02:54:55.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004270)  
Because it's more of a flood control project.

**[02:54:57.240] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004271)  
No.

**[02:54:58.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004272)  
If you look at the definition of the PRA LLDA,

**[02:55:04.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004273)  
it covers road dikes and flood controls.

**[02:55:08.320] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004274)  
And they confirmed that.

**[02:55:10.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004275)  
So, i-clear ang kulay ng Sekretary.

**[02:55:12.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004276)  
This is what I meant to make the point.

**[02:55:15.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004277)  
It is only in 2020,

**[02:55:17.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004278)  
that the PRA wants you to get a permit.

**[02:55:23.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004279)  
And so, I will move to the legal.

**[02:55:26.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004280)  
So, sir, ikaw na ba yung head ng legal?

**[02:55:31.180] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-004281)  
Yes, Paolo, sir.

**[02:55:32.240] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004282)  
Are you familiar with the 1995 DOJ opinion signed by former Vice President

**[02:55:39.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004283)  
and at that time DOJ Secretary, Gin Gona?

**[02:55:43.660] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-004284)  
My apologies, Senator.

**[02:55:45.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004285)  
It's okay.

**[02:55:45.780] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004286)  
But I will give you a copy.

**[02:55:47.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004287)  
I will give you a copy because I will tell this in front of the Secretary

**[02:55:50.240] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004288)  
that I am offended that instead of your department answering the PRA

**[02:55:56.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004289)  
na never kayo nag-require ng permit,

**[02:55:59.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004290)  
nag-issue kayo ng cease of disease sa sarili nyo.

**[02:56:03.240] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004291)  
Because if you look at the 1995 DOJ opinion,

**[02:56:09.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004292)  
ang sabi dito, ang meron pong jurisdiction ay yung LLDA.

**[02:56:16.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004293)  
Okay.

**[02:56:17.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004294)  
As special law.

**[02:56:19.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004295)  
But, eto, dito ka muna, sir.

**[02:56:22.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004296)  
Don't worry.

**[02:56:23.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004297)  
I will, I'm just expressing, masosolve to.

**[02:56:26.880] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004298)  
But, you, sir, I'll tell you something with your permission.

**[02:56:31.140] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004299)  
Assuming for the sake of argument, mag-aaway ang LLDA at PRA

**[02:56:35.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004300)  
sa sino may jurisdiction sa reclamation,

**[02:56:40.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004301)  
papayag ba ang DPWH na maipit kayo?

**[02:56:43.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004302)  
Ikaw, as head of legal, mapapayag ka ba yung maipit kayo?

**[02:56:47.300] DPWH Undersecretary Samuel Rufino J. Turgano** (asr-004303)  
No, Mr. Senator, no.

**[02:56:48.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004304)  
So, if for 40 years, ang batas ng PRA at LLDA is 1960s and 1970s.

**[02:56:57.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004305)  
So, kung more than 50 years, mas matanda pa sa akin,

**[02:57:01.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004306)  
LLDA ang sinusunod, biglang papasok ang PRA,

**[02:57:05.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004307)  
tama ba yun na matitigil ang projects natin?

**[02:57:10.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004308)  
Hindi ba dapat mag-usap muna yung dalawang departamento?

**[02:57:13.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004309)  
So, I leave it at that, Secretary.

**[02:57:17.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004310)  
Assistant GM, literal, is supposed to be here

**[02:57:20.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004311)  
because they committed that they will be here para mag-usap kayo.

**[02:57:25.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004312)  
PRA always wants more jurisdiction.

**[02:57:29.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004313)  
But LLDA is a special law.

**[02:57:32.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004314)  
Tama ba ako, Yusek Sadein?

**[02:57:34.060] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004315)  
You coordinated with the LLDA for the Laguna Lake Road Network.

**[02:57:37.920] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004316)  
Yeah, actually, both LLDA and PRA have been part of the study

**[02:57:42.880] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004317)  
when we had the feasibility studies.

**[02:57:44.920] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004318)  
Pero tama po kayo.

**[02:57:46.480] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004319)  
But the...

**[02:57:47.300] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004320)  
The agreement was dictated by the LLDA.

**[02:57:50.640] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004321)  
And PRA just come in just to check

**[02:57:52.840] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004322)  
if there is such thing as reclamations on the alignment

**[02:57:56.160] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004323)  
that we had generated from the past studies.

**[02:57:59.160] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004324)  
So, that's why, sir, the LLDA,

**[02:58:02.720] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004325)  
we had entered into memorandum of agreement

**[02:58:05.420] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004326)  
as early as July 2024.

**[02:58:08.640] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004327)  
And the coming weeks, we'll be entering also with PRA

**[02:58:12.160] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004328)  
to monitor relative to our compliance

**[02:58:14.720] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004329)  
if there is a reclamation, violations,

**[02:58:17.300] DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain** (asr-004330)  
or none at all.

**[02:58:19.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004331)  
Yes.

**[02:58:19.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004332)  
And again, if you look at all the definitions,

**[02:58:22.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004333)  
it's considered a reclamation.

**[02:58:24.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004334)  
So, wala na tayong pag-uusapan doon.

**[02:58:27.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004335)  
Ang hindi lang nila kinoconsidered reclamation yung stilts.

**[02:58:30.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004336)  
But anything na tubig or foreshore,

**[02:58:34.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004337)  
foreshore meaning between high and low tide,

**[02:58:36.140] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004338)  
pero iba ang Laguna Lake eh.

**[02:58:37.940] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004339)  
Kasi hindi masyadong tidal yan.

**[02:58:39.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004340)  
Kasi lake hindi yan dagat.

**[02:58:42.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004341)  
So, which goes to my next point.

**[02:58:43.660] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004342)  
And I don't know kung sino may institutional memory dito.

**[02:58:47.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004343)  
So, meron pa ba natira dito na nandun pa si Secretary Villar?

**[02:58:50.880] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004344)  
Wala na.

**[02:58:52.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004345)  
Wala na, no?

**[02:58:53.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004346)  
Kasi, I don't know if you're familiar,

**[02:58:55.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004347)  
Usec, Usec,

**[02:58:56.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004348)  
second last, no?

**[02:58:59.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004349)  
I don't know if you know this.

**[02:59:00.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004350)  
There were three alignments for the west of Mangahan

**[02:59:03.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004351)  
road dike in Taguig.

**[02:59:06.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004352)  
Okay?

**[02:59:07.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004353)  
Okay, the first alignment was inland.

**[02:59:10.140] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004354)  
The second alignment is the present alignment.

**[02:59:12.880] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004355)  
The third alignment was in the Laguna Lake.

**[02:59:14.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004356)  
What's the difference?

**[02:59:16.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004357)  
The second alignment had 1,300 hectares outside the lake.

**[02:59:22.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004358)  
This is actual land, not foreshore land.

**[02:59:26.320] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004359)  
That's why nagdidebate kami ni Secretary Villar

**[02:59:29.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004360)  
when I was a young congressman

**[02:59:30.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004361)  
because ganyang kakapal yung papel niya from the JICA.

**[02:59:34.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004362)  
Ang akin isang papel lang computing the real property tax

**[02:59:37.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004363)  
to be generated by 1,300 hectares

**[02:59:40.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004364)  
that would pay for the additional 5 billion

**[02:59:42.940] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004365)  
if we move the alignment

**[02:59:44.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004366)  
towards the lake.

**[02:59:46.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004367)  
So, it's the water.

**[02:59:47.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004368)  
But remember, during that time,

**[02:59:50.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004369)  
napakaliit ng budget ng DPDL wage.

**[02:59:52.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004370)  
So, napakalaki ng 5 billion.

**[02:59:55.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004371)  
So, what's my point?

**[02:59:58.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004372)  
Pagka yung lupa ay hindi...

**[03:00:00.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004373)  
For sure, hindi reclamation yun pag nilagyan mo ng lupa. May permit pa rin yun pero hindi sa PRA.

**[03:00:10.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004374)  
Okay. So my point, Secretary, I'll go to the next point. Do you remember gano'ng kataas yung elevation ng Laguna Lake?

**[03:00:23.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004375)  
Sa inyo ba, sa LLRN, anong elevation niya?

**[03:00:26.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004376)  
We are considering po yung 12.5 meters na average annual maximum lake level.

**[03:00:36.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004377)  
Pakitignan mo ulit ha. Kasi yung sa road dike is 15 and they said that that 15 will be like 100 years or more given yung siltation at saka yung tubig.

**[03:00:50.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004378)  
But nung nangyari yung undoy, I was telling SecVins, kilala niya yung isang may weather station tapos pumunta.

**[03:00:56.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004379)  
Parang two feet na lang going to the Pasig River, aabutin na.

**[03:01:03.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004380)  
So if you look at the, if you just do a Google check, at one point in time, the DPWH decided to add one meter sa road dike.

**[03:01:14.880] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004381)  
That's why if you look at the two other lanes na ginawa ni SecMark, compared sa ginawa nila SecSingson at ginawa ng panahon ni President GMA, mas mataas.

**[03:01:26.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004382)  
And if you look at the park beside, so eto lang, sa media kasi ang napapakita parang ganyan, diba?

**[03:01:35.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004383)  
Can we show the short video? I want to show people and with your permission SecVins, kung ano talaga ang itsura nung...

**[03:01:56.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004384)  
I think you get the point. But my point is this.

**[03:02:21.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004385)  
Ano ang purpose ng linear park?

**[03:02:24.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004386)  
So tinanong ko rin ito sa PRA.

**[03:02:26.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004387)  
Sabi ko sa PRA, Sir, kapag ka hindi nyo inayos yung gilid ng road, ano mangyayari?

**[03:02:32.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004388)  
Sagot nila mag-e-road. Masisira din. So kailangan.

**[03:02:35.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004389)  
Pag inayos mo, tapos kalye yun, anong mangyayari sa lake?

**[03:02:40.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004390)  
Sir, magtatapon lang ng basura yung tao. Or dunji jingle. Or worse, babahayan to.

**[03:02:46.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004391)  
So that's my question. Is the DPWH, is someone here still familiar with lupang-aryanda?

**[03:02:56.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004392)  
Okay, if you didn't hear it, paglampas mo ng Pasig River, may claim pa rin dun ang Taytay, Pasig at Taguig.

**[03:03:05.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004393)  
They put stilts, houses, then underneath the stilt which is Lampas Tao, they'll burn basura and say it's filling material.

**[03:03:16.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004394)  
And when I went there as a young congressman, ang layo na nilakad ko, hindi ko makita.

**[03:03:22.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004395)  
When I finally got to that house, swampy, lampas tuhod ko yung...

**[03:03:25.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004396)  
lumusong ako sa tubig, nasa taas ko yung floor ng bahay.

**[03:03:32.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004397)  
Tapos sabi ko, ito ba? Sabi, Sir, yung nilakad mo for the last 10 minutes, yun na yung na-fill na.

**[03:03:39.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004398)  
Bumaha yun, I think 2001, kung hindi ako nagkakamali.

**[03:03:43.820] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004399)  
Nagbangka pa dun si Secretary Biazon.

**[03:03:47.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004400)  
So that's what happens to the Laguna Lake when we do not develop the lake shore.

**[03:03:55.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004401)  
Pag hindi mo tinuldukan na hanggang dito lake shore, magtatambak one way or the other ang tao.

**[03:04:03.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004402)  
So which goes to my next point, can you show the map again?

**[03:04:08.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004403)  
I want Vins and Seksadain just to confirm this.

**[03:04:16.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004404)  
Can you make it bigger?

**[03:04:20.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004405)  
So if you see the Taguig side ng LLRN,

**[03:04:24.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004406)  
LLDA passed a resolution.

**[03:04:25.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004407)  
Or at least wrote us, napayag sila na 1 kilometer, between 800 meters to 1.2 kilometers away from the shoreline.

**[03:04:37.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004408)  
And that's smarter. Why?

**[03:04:38.240] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004409)  
All around the world, ang pinakamahal na property is by the lake.

**[03:04:43.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004410)  
And halos walang city except Manila has a central park, di ba? The Luneta Park.

**[03:04:49.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004411)  
Of course, Quezon City has the circle.

**[03:04:51.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004412)  
But halos walang city ang may malaking park.

**[03:04:54.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004413)  
So why take away the...

**[03:04:55.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004414)  
Opportunity for Taguig, which is one of the country's leading central business district,

**[03:05:00.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004415)  
which is top 5 in terms of population,

**[03:05:04.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004416)  
sorry, top 5 in land area and top 5 in paying taxes.

**[03:05:09.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004417)  
So yung development na ginagawa dyan is to put a period

**[03:05:12.880] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004418)  
and to make it environmentally safe

**[03:05:15.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004419)  
para face-to-face siya with the LLRN.

**[03:05:20.600] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004420)  
So meaning, kung hindi ayusin yung side ng kali na yan,

**[03:05:25.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004421)  
hindi natin alam kung hanggang saan na aabutin yan.

**[03:05:29.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004422)  
Hindi natin alam kung mag-erode yan, kung ano mangyayari.

**[03:05:33.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004423)  
So having said that, I just want to show SecVins.

**[03:05:36.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004424)  
I think I showed this, we showed it to him then.

**[03:05:43.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004425)  
This is the project that supposedly was stopped,

**[03:05:46.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004426)  
or I don't know if the funding was stopped or whatever.

**[03:05:50.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004427)  
So after consulting an expert who's actually working in other projects,

**[03:05:55.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004428)  
here, I cannot name him because I didn't ask permission,

**[03:05:59.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004429)  
yung nasa gitna, yan yung shophouse.

**[03:06:03.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004430)  
Yan yung sinabi, yan yung nasa news na ginagawa,

**[03:06:06.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004431)  
pero yung pala, nung bumagyo,

**[03:06:08.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004432)  
nagpaalam naman pala siya sa DPWH na

**[03:06:11.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004433)  
tatanggalin lang nila yung mga iba nilang gamit

**[03:06:14.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004434)  
and they'll make sure walang babaksak.

**[03:06:17.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004435)  
So sabi ng PRA, wala daw silang cyst and disease dyan sa lupa.

**[03:06:22.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004436)  
Pero sa lupa may cyst and disease,

**[03:06:23.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004437)  
which is the left and the right side,

**[03:06:25.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004438)  
which is actually the lungs.

**[03:06:28.320] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004439)  
Ito yung wetland na gagawin

**[03:06:30.940] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004440)  
to precisely protect the lake.

**[03:06:34.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004441)  
So my point is, SecVins,

**[03:06:36.320] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004442)  
I leave it to you to talk to the LLD and PRA.

**[03:06:39.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004443)  
Diba?

**[03:06:40.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004444)  
But, bakit maiipet?

**[03:06:42.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004445)  
So for example, kung may project kayo,

**[03:06:44.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004446)  
let's say Paranaque Spillway,

**[03:06:46.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004447)  
may boundary problem ang Muntinlupa, Taguig, at saka Paranaque.

**[03:06:50.900] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004448)  
Problema nyo ba yun kung mayroong boundary problem yung tatlo?

**[03:06:54.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004449)  
Hindi dapat.

**[03:06:55.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004450)  
Diba?

**[03:06:56.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004451)  
So kung may problema ang PRA at saka LLDA,

**[03:07:01.880] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004452)  
let's work it out.

**[03:07:03.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004453)  
But for them to say stop,

**[03:07:05.900] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004454)  
remember if there is no funding for this in 2027,

**[03:07:10.900] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004455)  
delayed ka na naman ng more than a year.

**[03:07:14.820] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004456)  
And remember, may mga problema ang lake katulad ng,

**[03:07:18.660] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004457)  
what's the right word?

**[03:07:20.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004458)  
Yung kulang ng oxygen,

**[03:07:21.020] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004459)  
kaya natutuyo yung water lily,

**[03:07:25.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004460)  
tapos bumaba.

**[03:07:25.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004461)  
And everything.

**[03:07:27.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004462)  
So, anyway.

**[03:07:32.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004463)  
So, am I correct?

**[03:07:34.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004464)  
You're working out the CDO given their last statements?

**[03:07:36.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004465)  
Opo.

**[03:07:37.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004466)  
In fact, Mr. Chairman,

**[03:07:39.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004467)  
after the hearing on PRA,

**[03:07:42.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004468)  
we wrote the general manager and chief executive officer,

**[03:07:47.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004469)  
Engineer Shador Jr.

**[03:07:51.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004470)  
and asked for a clarification

**[03:07:53.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004471)  
and a written,

**[03:07:55.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004472)  
written response to the,

**[03:07:58.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004473)  
to the statements made during the budget hearing.

**[03:08:01.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004474)  
Because the last thing we want po,

**[03:08:04.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004475)  
the last thing we want po is to delay projects.

**[03:08:07.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004476)  
Mr. Chairman.

**[03:08:08.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004477)  
Yeah.

**[03:08:08.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004478)  
Secretary, I understand the caution.

**[03:08:10.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004479)  
Opo.

**[03:08:11.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004480)  
But ang sinabi niya exactly there ha,

**[03:08:13.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004481)  
ang sabi niya yung LLRN,

**[03:08:15.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004482)  
kahit walang permit,

**[03:08:16.320] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004483)  
hindi nila sinap

**[03:08:17.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004484)  
dahil nakipag-usap si Yusek sa Dain.

**[03:08:20.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004485)  
Sabi ko,

**[03:08:20.820] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004486)  
ba't nyo sinap yung sa Tagig?

**[03:08:22.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004487)  
Wala ba kayong kausap?

**[03:08:23.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004488)  
Yung district engineer daw.

**[03:08:24.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004489)  
So, maybe you can,

**[03:08:25.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004490)  
you can send either the regional director or Yusek.

**[03:08:28.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004491)  
Di ba?

**[03:08:29.900] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004492)  
So, I mean,

**[03:08:30.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004493)  
kung sasabihin ng PRA,

**[03:08:32.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004494)  
usap lang,

**[03:08:33.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004495)  
dahil government naman,

**[03:08:36.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004496)  
ba't kung sasabihin nila

**[03:08:36.900] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004497)  
they'll insist on a reclamation permit,

**[03:08:39.880] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004498)  
then ang question ko,

**[03:08:40.780] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004499)  
bakit,

**[03:08:41.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004500)  
why are they not insisting for the LLRN?

**[03:08:44.320] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004501)  
Eh, ang laki-laking project yun,

**[03:08:45.680] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004502)  
mas malaking displacement yun.

**[03:08:47.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004503)  
Why are they insisting on the,

**[03:08:49.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004504)  
the smaller project?

**[03:08:50.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004505)  
So, I'm not asking for any violation of the law.

**[03:08:53.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004506)  
I'm asking for the equal

**[03:08:54.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004507)  
protection,

**[03:08:54.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004508)  
equal protection,

**[03:08:55.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004509)  
and equal application of the law.

**[03:08:57.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004510)  
Opo.

**[03:08:58.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004511)  
We have already sent our regional director there.

**[03:09:02.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004512)  
And we have also requested for a meeting already

**[03:09:04.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004513)  
with the executive,

**[03:09:06.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004514)  
chief executive officer

**[03:09:07.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004515)  
and the chairman of the board of PRA.

**[03:09:09.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004516)  
But can you take note of that?

**[03:09:10.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004517)  
And anyway, you have good lawyers.

**[03:09:12.940] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004518)  
They've never exercised jurisdiction.

**[03:09:15.820] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004519)  
And even the LLDA wavered after being in the media.

**[03:09:20.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004520)  
Sabi nila,

**[03:09:21.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004521)  
humingi sila ng opinion sa OGCC.

**[03:09:24.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004522)  
Eh, PRA mismo,

**[03:09:25.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004523)  
nag-admit na mas mabigat

**[03:09:28.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004524)  
ang DOJ opinion

**[03:09:29.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004525)  
kaso sa OGCC.

**[03:09:31.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004526)  
So, magkakasuhan pa ba tayong

**[03:09:33.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004527)  
tatlong gobyerno,

**[03:09:35.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004528)  
DPWH at LLDA

**[03:09:38.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004529)  
at,

**[03:09:38.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004530)  
diba, PRA,

**[03:09:41.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004531)  
just to get all of this done?

**[03:09:43.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004532)  
So, Sek, you've been around.

**[03:09:46.060] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004533)  
You've been in Laguna Rizal.

**[03:09:47.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004534)  
Let me ask you point blank, or anyone here,

**[03:09:50.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004535)  
have you seen a better

**[03:09:51.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004536)  
lakeshore management and development than the portion

**[03:09:53.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004537)  
of Taguig?

**[03:09:54.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004538)  
This one,

**[03:09:55.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004539)  
I've seen several times,

**[03:09:56.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004540)  
and it is really something that,

**[03:09:58.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004541)  
it's a model for...

**[03:10:00.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004542)  
I haven't seen in Rizal.

**[03:10:01.680] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004543)  
I mean, I've seen smaller.

**[03:10:02.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004544)  
At least along the lake points.

**[03:10:04.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004545)  
Yes.

**[03:10:04.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004546)  
The most developed one.

**[03:10:06.320] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004547)  
Maganda din yung sa Muntinlupa,

**[03:10:08.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004548)  
but it's not as,

**[03:10:09.900] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004549)  
how do I put it, elaborate or long, diba?

**[03:10:12.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004550)  
Apo.

**[03:10:12.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004551)  
So, although I have not seen the Muntinlupa one.

**[03:10:15.060] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004552)  
But just to make a point,

**[03:10:16.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004553)  
I don't know the official name.

**[03:10:18.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004554)  
There's a missing link road,

**[03:10:20.060] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004555)  
which connects

**[03:10:22.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004556)  
lower Bicutan to Muntinlupa.

**[03:10:24.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004557)  
It was purely a DPWH-led project.

**[03:10:29.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004558)  
It was not suggested by Taguig City.

**[03:10:32.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004559)  
It was not suggested by our congressman.

**[03:10:34.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004560)  
It was not suggested by myself.

**[03:10:37.020] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004561)  
In fact, when I brought it up to you,

**[03:10:39.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004562)  
ang request ko lang, may linear park din

**[03:10:42.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004563)  
para yung residents naman na may lupa doon,

**[03:10:45.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004564)  
at saka yung walang basura.

**[03:10:47.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004565)  
This is my point, no?

**[03:10:50.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004566)  
If it's a good project,

**[03:10:52.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004567)  
why should anyone stop it?

**[03:10:54.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004568)  
Ang angal lang namin noon was traffic

**[03:10:56.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004569)  
because there's no traffic study.

**[03:10:58.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004570)  
And that's why we're working with you

**[03:11:00.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004571)  
kung saan yung, what do you call that, ramp?

**[03:11:02.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004572)  
Exit ramp po.

**[03:11:04.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004573)  
We have adjusted it already po,

**[03:11:06.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004574)  
to address the traffic situation.

**[03:11:08.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004575)  
That project hasn't been in the media,

**[03:11:10.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004576)  
but ang point ko, anong kaibahan nung missing link

**[03:11:12.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004577)  
na from, if you're coming from Bicutan,

**[03:11:15.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004578)  
which is in the right,

**[03:11:16.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004579)  
and yung 3 kilometers on the left,

**[03:11:19.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004580)  
it's all government.

**[03:11:21.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004581)  
It's all DPWH project.

**[03:11:23.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004582)  
Well, ang proponent is DPWH.

**[03:11:25.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004583)  
What happened there is simple.

**[03:11:27.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004584)  
When DPWH said gagawa kami ng kalye,

**[03:11:29.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004585)  
sinabi lang ng City of Taguig,

**[03:11:31.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004586)  
ba't hindi nyo lagyan ng biking lane?

**[03:11:33.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004587)  
O, tapos nung maganda yung biking lane,

**[03:11:35.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004588)  
ba't hindi nyo lagyan ng park?

**[03:11:37.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004589)  
Which brings me to my fourth,

**[03:11:39.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004590)  
pito lang to, but fourth.

**[03:11:41.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004591)  
Yung LLRN ba may biking lane?

**[03:11:44.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004592)  
Wala.

**[03:11:45.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004593)  
Sa design po ba nga po?

**[03:11:47.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004594)  
Okay, so I'm not going to demand that right now,

**[03:11:49.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004595)  
but I want to put this at the feet of the, the,

**[03:11:51.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004596)  
the secretary.

**[03:11:55.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004597)  
Again, if we don't build it,

**[03:11:57.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004598)  
they won't come, diba?

**[03:11:59.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004599)  
If we don't require it.

**[03:12:01.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004600)  
So if you tell subdivision developers,

**[03:12:04.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004601)  
Sir, sana mas malaki yung sidewalk.

**[03:12:07.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004602)  
Sir, sana may biking lane.

**[03:12:09.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004603)  
Pag sana, malamang hindi lagawin,

**[03:12:11.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004604)  
lalo kung mahal yung lupa.

**[03:12:13.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004605)  
So there's 3 things I'd like to push.

**[03:12:15.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004606)  
One is the biking lane.

**[03:12:16.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004607)  
One is the sidewalk.

**[03:12:18.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004608)  
Ah,

**[03:12:21.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004609)  
and remember your, your,

**[03:12:24.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004610)  
again, your, pasensya na,

**[03:12:25.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004611)  
I'm not using it as ano,

**[03:12:26.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004612)  
but DPWH and LLDA

**[03:12:29.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004613)  
is packaging the LLRN

**[03:12:32.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004614)  
as an environmental,

**[03:12:34.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004615)  
hindi nga environmental friendly.

**[03:12:36.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004616)  
What's the word you use

**[03:12:38.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004617)  
sa ADB at saka sa Korean?

**[03:12:41.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004618)  
May word kayo,

**[03:12:42.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004619)  
ginamit nyo yung environmental something project eh.

**[03:12:45.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004620)  
It's in the website.

**[03:12:47.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004621)  
So hindi lang environmental friendly,

**[03:12:49.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004622)  
yung connotation nya,

**[03:12:50.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004623)  
is that it's good for the environment.

**[03:12:53.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004624)  
So ang point ko,

**[03:12:54.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004625)  
kung good for the environment,

**[03:12:55.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004626)  
na yung walking, yung biking,

**[03:12:57.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004627)  
but third, Mr. Secretary,

**[03:12:59.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004628)  
I don't know if you're gonna allow motorcycles there,

**[03:13:02.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004629)  
pero ang perwisyon ng mga motorcycle riders ngayon,

**[03:13:06.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004630)  
ay pag umulan ng malakas,

**[03:13:08.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004631)  
walang sisilungan.

**[03:13:09.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004632)  
So kayo na nagsabi kanina,

**[03:13:11.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004633)  
luma na lahat ng bridge at kokonti lang,

**[03:13:14.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004634)  
can you study that in all the new road developments na malalaki,

**[03:13:19.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004635)  
meron talagang,

**[03:13:20.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004636)  
kung nung 80s,

**[03:13:21.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004637)  
lahat kami ay humihingi ng waiting shed.

**[03:13:24.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004638)  
Ngayon kailangan talaga,

**[03:13:26.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004639)  
sa notes ko,

**[03:13:27.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004640)  
I just put ano yung,

**[03:13:29.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004641)  
hindi comfort area eh,

**[03:13:31.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004642)  
hindi rin emergency area eh,

**[03:13:33.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004643)  
but it's somewhere here in my notes,

**[03:13:39.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004644)  
but yun nga,

**[03:13:40.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004645)  
di ba yung,

**[03:13:41.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004646)  
let's say sa South Superhighway,

**[03:13:43.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004647)  
di ba,

**[03:13:44.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004648)  
hindi ba pwedeng yung mga toll nun maglagay ng

**[03:13:47.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004649)  
a few meters na may bubong,

**[03:13:49.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004650)  
mas maganda kung may CR na rin.

**[03:13:51.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004651)  
So pagka heavy rains,

**[03:13:53.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004652)  
parada na dun yung motor.

**[03:13:56.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004653)  
But that's going to continue.

**[03:13:58.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004654)  
Dadagdag,

**[03:13:59.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004655)  
the chairman is here and he's a rider,

**[03:14:02.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004656)  
so he understands what I'm saying.

**[03:14:04.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004657)  
So I'll jump from that.

**[03:14:09.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004658)  
Warranties.

**[03:14:10.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004659)  
Ano ho ang normal warranties ng isang kalye?

**[03:14:19.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004660)  
Five years po ang warranty ng kalye.

**[03:14:23.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004661)  
Tulay.

**[03:14:24.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004662)  
Tulay.

**[03:14:25.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004663)  
Tulay.

**[03:14:26.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004664)  
Ang tulay po ay 15 years.

**[03:14:30.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004665)  
Ang isang dike po na road control is also five years.

**[03:14:35.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004666)  
As I promised Ekvins to be mindful of the time,

**[03:14:40.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004667)  
during the 23 and 24 budget,

**[03:14:43.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004668)  
more or less lang to,

**[03:14:44.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004669)  
more or less ah,

**[03:14:45.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004670)  
nung hinimay namin,

**[03:14:47.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004671)  
kasabi mo kanina ang 02-01,

**[03:14:49.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004672)  
nung hinimay namin,

**[03:14:50.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004673)  
it's basically one-third new projects,

**[03:14:53.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004674)  
one-third maintenance,

**[03:14:55.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004675)  
and one-third flood control.

**[03:14:57.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004676)  
More or less.

**[03:14:58.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004677)  
I mean, it's not exactly

**[03:15:00.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004678)  
Hindi ito two-thirds ng impeachment, but more or less it's one-third, one-third, one-third. So ang question ko nun sa DPWH, dalawa. Number one, gano'ng katagal ba yung warranty? Kasi kung as far as 2009, 50 billion lang yung budget, then panon ni Pinoy, wala pang 500 billion yung budget, and then ngayon 1 trillion na, bakit ang laki ng maintenance?

**[03:15:26.180] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004679)  
Does that mean wala ng warranty karamihan doon? I don't know, and I know it's hard to compute, but I leave that to you.

**[03:15:33.780] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004680)  
Second point, because the districts and the regional got bigger, the Bureau of Design has less work to do.

**[03:15:45.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004681)  
So I was asking, what's the relationship ngayon? So I won't discuss that now, but I think parang sa federalism.

**[03:15:55.020] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004682)  
Sa federalism, for example, yung DepEd, policy siya. Pero yung actual, per state na sa DepEd.

**[03:16:01.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004683)  
So if you're saying may autonomy na yung region, it's either you abolish the other bureaus or they're the policy makers that may implement.

**[03:16:14.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004684)  
This is a great question, Mr. Chairman, Minority Leader, because this is actually what I actually found out.

**[03:16:23.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004685)  
So in the course of my one year here, as everyone knows, you're absolutely right, there's a great deal of autonomy given to the implementing offices, to the districts, to the regions.

**[03:16:36.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004686)  
They all have their own design groups. They all have their own planning engineers. They all have their own project engineers.

**[03:16:45.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004687)  
But the problem is, I think, and I've seen this firsthand, is standards are very weak.

**[03:16:53.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004688)  
Mr. Chairman, and I think the number one role of the Bureau of Design in the Central Office is really to develop and enforce the standards, standards for roads, standards for bridges.

**[03:17:08.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004689)  
So do you have a Bureau of Standards?

**[03:17:10.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004690)  
Meron po. Meron po. BRS.

**[03:17:13.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004691)  
So anyway, I'm just saying, it's not that complicated now to reorganize because of the interpretation sa admin code.

**[03:17:21.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004692)  
I think it's between the ES and new.

**[03:17:23.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004693)  
So I just want you to know, whether it's the building code or the bureaus, I think they're needed, almost a trillion in infrastructure plus yung advisory na binibigay niyo sa iba and yung convergence nandiyan pa rin.

**[03:17:35.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004694)  
So I'd just like to encourage you to take a look at that.

**[03:17:38.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004695)  
We are definitely looking at it and we want to strengthen the standards from a small issue as road signs.

**[03:17:47.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004696)  
We don't have standards. Well, we have standards. Unfortunately, they are not implemented properly.

**[03:17:52.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004697)  
And we have road safety. We have some semblance of standards. But again, the implementation is really lacking. So we really need to strengthen that point.

**[03:18:07.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004698)  
So on that point, I had this discussion with Secretary Bono and in his first year as Secretary, yung sa, how do you pronounce it? Iyaw? Iyaw, okay.

**[03:18:19.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004699)  
So depende sino kausap ko.

**[03:18:22.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004700)  
May nagsasabing productive to at maganda. May nagsasabing hindi.

**[03:18:27.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004701)  
I actually, in quotation mark, had a deal with him. Not a deal deal but a understanding in open court or in open hearing.

**[03:18:37.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004702)  
Sabi ko, set, I will not pursue that abolishment kung sasabihin ng mga tao nyo it's useful.

**[03:18:44.940] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004703)  
Pero may hihingin ako kasi isa sa nakalagay sa IAO rules and regulations na sila ang...

**[03:18:52.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004704)  
nagsisiguradong tama yung implementation.

**[03:18:57.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004705)  
So sabi ko, let's do something for yung ordinary manggagawa.

**[03:19:02.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004706)  
Gumawa ka naman ng checklist na yung kanilang pag-ibig, yung kanilang feel health, yung kanilang SSS ay bayad.

**[03:19:09.380] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004707)  
So he said yes. But I don't know what happened na. I didn't see that.

**[03:19:14.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004708)  
But I don't think it will be very difficult for the districts across the country to come up with the pinakasimple,

**[03:19:22.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004709)  
I think, checklist na parang labor standards. And I think makakatulong to sa lahat ng manggagawa there.

**[03:19:30.240] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004710)  
Having said that, second point lang, Sekvins, because we're data-driven now,

**[03:19:35.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004711)  
so let's say if 10% ng manggagawa mo taga-traffic or not skilled, yung data na yan pwedeng gamitin sa test eh.

**[03:19:43.880] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004712)  
Baka pwede mo iskolar yung ibang magagaling dun na manggagawa to be skilled workers later on.

**[03:19:49.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004713)  
Then the last point regarding...

**[03:19:52.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004714)  
That in the US, they actually had a program that kapag ka-public work siya, mas mataas ang sweldo than sa private.

**[03:20:04.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004715)  
Kasi kung hindi, parating kukunin ng private.

**[03:20:08.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004716)  
I know we're not looking to add cost, but what I'm saying is that if minimum wage is let's say 600,

**[03:20:14.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004717)  
they just say na pag public works project yan, plus 10%.

**[03:20:19.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004718)  
So sa 600, 660 ka.

**[03:20:22.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004719)  
So may konting pabuya, hindi sa contractor kung hindi sa worker.

**[03:20:29.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004720)  
And if all the contractors naman do that, hindi naman dapat magka-problema sa bidding because pare-pareho naman silang gagawa nun.

**[03:20:40.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004721)  
So please just keep take a look at this.

**[03:20:43.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004722)  
But I will back to back that with DPWH.

**[03:20:46.040] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004723)  
So the main problem with the flood control is corruption.

**[03:20:49.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004724)  
So all of us say, why don't we do a liquid?

**[03:20:52.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004725)  
Because in Singapore, customs, police, it's the only place I know that lawyers are not allowed in the custodial investigation.

**[03:21:06.780] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004726)  
All around the world, nasusunod yung Miranda rights ng US na pag ikaw hinuli ng police, kahit sabihin sa presinto ka na magpaliwanag,

**[03:21:13.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004727)  
you cannot be denied access of your lawyer.

**[03:21:16.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004728)  
In Singapore, they trust so much the police.

**[03:21:22.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004729)  
Because of the integrity, bawal yung lawyer at that stage.

**[03:21:26.680] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004730)  
So what's my point, Sec Vins?

**[03:21:29.060] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004731)  
My dad sponsored and pushed for higher pay for judges and justices than later on fiscals.

**[03:21:36.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004732)  
Kasi sabi niya, pag mababa, that promotes na magkaroon sila.

**[03:21:40.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004733)  
So I know you have a good recruitment program.

**[03:21:43.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004734)  
But kung ang isang...

**[03:21:47.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004735)  
I'll back to back it with my speech in the...

**[03:21:52.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004736)  
local building officials, okay?

**[03:21:56.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004737)  
I spoke sa local building officials.

**[03:21:58.780] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004738)  
Sabi ko sa kanila, ang isang gagawa ng building,

**[03:22:04.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004739)  
they make between 10 to 100 million, depende gaano ka-complicated yung building.

**[03:22:09.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004740)  
Even the, what do you call that, yung 1%, pero titignan niya lahat ng materials,

**[03:22:15.900] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004741)  
yung quantity survey ba yun or something?

**[03:22:20.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004742)  
Ah, the...

**[03:22:21.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004743)  
Basta sa private, you can get the guy to look at all the materials to test it.

**[03:22:28.140] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004744)  
But they usually go about 1%.

**[03:22:32.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004745)  
So kung 1 billion yung project, magkano 1% nun?

**[03:22:36.780] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004746)  
Ang building official is probably magkano?

**[03:22:40.220] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004747)  
100, 150,000 ang sweldo.

**[03:22:43.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004748)  
And at any point in time, he'll have 10 applications for buildings.

**[03:22:48.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004749)  
One application for building took an architectural firm.

**[03:22:51.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004750)  
10 months to do.

**[03:22:54.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004751)  
Pag tumagal ng isang buwan yun sa building official, ang tingin nila corrupt.

**[03:23:01.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004752)  
So I'll throw the same thing sa inyo.

**[03:23:03.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004753)  
You've been through a lot, DPWH.

**[03:23:05.600] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004754)  
Some deserve, some undeserve.

**[03:23:08.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004755)  
Depende sa tao.

**[03:23:09.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004756)  
But if we're going to have a long-term reform,

**[03:23:13.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004757)  
we'll have to have a par sweldo between the engineers in the private sector

**[03:23:18.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004758)  
and that in government.

**[03:23:19.660] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004759)  
So you only have a year and a half left.

**[03:23:21.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004760)  
After this year, SECVIN.

**[03:23:24.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004761)  
So, shorter.

**[03:23:26.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004762)  
So, let me just lay that there.

**[03:23:29.500] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004763)  
Some said it's impossible.

**[03:23:30.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004764)  
Pero nangyari na yan sa teachers.

**[03:23:32.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004765)  
Nangyari na sa police.

**[03:23:34.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004766)  
Nangyari na sa judges.

**[03:23:35.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004767)  
So, some people magmumura.

**[03:23:38.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004768)  
Ano?

**[03:23:38.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004769)  
Sobra ang corruption sa DPWH.

**[03:23:40.320] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004770)  
Tataas mo pa yung sweldo.

**[03:23:41.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004771)  
Pero baliktad eh.

**[03:23:43.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004772)  
Diba?

**[03:23:44.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004773)  
So, minumura nila dati yung ibang korte.

**[03:23:47.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004774)  
Minumura dati yung ibang teachers kasi habang nagtuturo,

**[03:23:51.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004775)  
nagbebenta ng booklet o test paper

**[03:23:55.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004776)  
o longgani sa Yusek Conti, diba?

**[03:23:57.400] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004777)  
Sa local.

**[03:23:58.300] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004778)  
But they had to make a living eh.

**[03:24:00.660] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004779)  
Pero nung tinaas natin,

**[03:24:02.720] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004780)  
yung sweldo nila,

**[03:24:03.620] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004781)  
not only the dignity, diba?

**[03:24:05.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004782)  
Yung professionalism nandun din, no?

**[03:24:10.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004783)  
So, last question lang.

**[03:24:12.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004784)  
Who's in charge of the PIES project ng PRA?

**[03:24:19.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004785)  
PIEC.

**[03:24:20.820] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004786)  
PIEC.

**[03:24:21.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004787)  
This is under the NCR Regional Office.

**[03:24:26.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004788)  
Can he also give us some documents?

**[03:24:28.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004789)  
I also want to go through the project.

**[03:24:29.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004790)  
We'll do, Mr. Chairman.

**[03:24:31.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004791)  
So, Mr. Chairman, I do have questions just like Senator Aimee,

**[03:24:35.480] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004792)  
but we'll write and communicate with...

**[03:24:39.320] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004793)  
Sorry, Sekvins.

**[03:24:41.440] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004794)  
Allocations.

**[03:24:44.080] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004795)  
Is the DPWH...

**[03:24:45.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004796)  
I don't want to go to the details,

**[03:24:46.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004797)  
but basically I was looking at the biggest cities and yung allocations.

**[03:24:50.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004798)  
Parang...

**[03:24:51.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004799)  
Hindi equitable and everything.

**[03:24:53.780] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004800)  
Is the DPWH still going to look at it?

**[03:24:56.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004801)  
Yes, we are.

**[03:24:58.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004802)  
Ang nangyari nga po, Mr. Chairman,

**[03:25:00.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004803)  
is taga-gang very strict kami dun sa pag-submit nila ng mga requirements.

**[03:25:06.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004804)  
So, meron pong mga distrito at lugar na hindi nakapag-comply.

**[03:25:11.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004805)  
But we will...

**[03:25:11.680] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004806)  
I'll agree.

**[03:25:12.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004807)  
We will make sure po na...

**[03:25:14.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004808)  
I agree.

**[03:25:14.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004809)  
But I do know of at least one area that panay...

**[03:25:18.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004810)  
Ano eh?

**[03:25:19.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004811)  
Completion yung project eh.

**[03:25:21.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004812)  
Opo.

**[03:25:21.700] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004813)  
So, I don't know.

**[03:25:21.980] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004814)  
So, I was telling some of your colleagues in the cabinet,

**[03:25:25.200] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004815)  
I understand the difficulty of new projects, di ba?

**[03:25:28.340] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004816)  
Yung area, yung lahat ng plans, et cetera,

**[03:25:31.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004817)  
the magkano na ang cost ngayon of everything.

**[03:25:34.560] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004818)  
But yung continuing...

**[03:25:36.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004819)  
We will prioritize po the continuing

**[03:25:37.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004820)  
and we will make the necessary amendments po.

**[03:25:41.120] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004821)  
Sige.

**[03:25:41.540] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004822)  
Especially in the areas na hindi masyadong napondohan yung continuing.

**[03:25:46.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004823)  
So, on that note, I'll ask my questions then.

**[03:25:48.960] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004824)  
Dalawa lang, Sekvins.

**[03:25:49.780] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004825)  
Yung equitability.

**[03:25:50.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004826)  
Secondly nga, I'd like to look, are we doing enough sa rural?

**[03:25:55.320] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004827)  
And if you say yourself, if in your honest opinion, hindi,

**[03:25:58.940] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004828)  
may I recommend the top 5 or top 10 poorest provinces?

**[03:26:03.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004829)  
If you look at the top, maybe 5, maybe 10.

**[03:26:06.460] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004830)  
But sa top 20 poorest provinces, 3 common things.

**[03:26:12.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004831)  
Calamities, sometimes corruption,

**[03:26:17.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004832)  
insurgency.

**[03:26:20.640] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004833)  
Di ba?

**[03:26:22.240] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004834)  
Tapos, lahat na nandun.

**[03:26:24.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004835)  
Pinaka mataas na problema sa health.

**[03:26:27.840] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004836)  
Pinaka mataas na problema sa crime.

**[03:26:30.680] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004837)  
So, baka ang sagot doon ay hindi bala kung hindi kalye.

**[03:26:35.360] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004838)  
Di ba?

**[03:26:35.860] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004839)  
So, may I propose that, Sekvins, na

**[03:26:38.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004840)  
if you cannot do a major shift to rural development in 2027,

**[03:26:44.760] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004841)  
hindi ako magre-reklamo kung...

**[03:26:47.680] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004842)  
It's not favoritism, eh.

**[03:26:49.260] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004843)  
It's...

**[03:26:49.900] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004844)  
In a sense, affirmative action.

**[03:26:52.000] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004845)  
Kasi if you look at the top,

**[03:26:54.100] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004846)  
there are about 5 to 10 provinces that are perennially,

**[03:26:58.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004847)  
for the last 20 years,

**[03:27:00.420] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004848)  
in the 20 poorest.

**[03:27:03.920] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004849)  
Mataas doon ang stunting,

**[03:27:05.800] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004850)  
mataas doon ang lahat, heart disease, etc.

**[03:27:08.280] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004851)  
Mataas doon ang insurgency.

**[03:27:10.740] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004852)  
So, baka hindi DOH, DOTR,

**[03:27:14.520] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004853)  
deped ang sagot sa lugar na yun.

**[03:27:16.160] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004854)  
Baka DPWH din.

**[03:27:18.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004855)  
Mr. Chairman,

**[03:27:19.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004856)  
very important point,

**[03:27:20.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004857)  
just to talk about equitability.

**[03:27:23.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004858)  
Looking at po the poorest regions,

**[03:27:26.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004859)  
we can give a detail po on the provinces as well.

**[03:27:30.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004860)  
But looking at the poorest regions po

**[03:27:31.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004861)  
in terms of poverty incidents,

**[03:27:32.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004862)  
it is really Region 5, Region 8, and Region 13.

**[03:27:39.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004863)  
And we are happy to report po that,

**[03:27:42.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004864)  
for example po, sa Region 5, sa Kabikuran,

**[03:27:46.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004865)  
ano po ito, no?

**[03:27:48.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004866)  
Tumaas po ito ng...

**[03:27:49.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004867)  
3 percentage points from dating 4% lang po ng budget,

**[03:27:53.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004868)  
ngayon po ay 7% na.

**[03:27:55.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004869)  
Ang Region 8 po,

**[03:27:57.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004870)  
in fact, ang Region 8 po,

**[03:27:59.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004871)  
naunahan na ang Region 7.

**[03:28:01.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004872)  
Ang Region 7 po,

**[03:28:03.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004873)  
dito sa budget natin ngayon,

**[03:28:04.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004874)  
ay 5.6% lang.

**[03:28:06.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004875)  
Ang Region 8 po,

**[03:28:07.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004876)  
ay 6.38%.

**[03:28:09.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004877)  
It is now the highest in the Visayas region.

**[03:28:12.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004878)  
So, we really made it a point po to try.

**[03:28:14.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004879)  
Obviously, we cannot do it just in one year,

**[03:28:17.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004880)  
but I think,

**[03:28:18.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004881)  
we are on the right track po

**[03:28:20.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004882)  
in terms of making sure that the

**[03:28:22.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004883)  
poorest areas get the most funds for...

**[03:28:25.580] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004884)  
I'll just add yung BARM din.

**[03:28:27.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004885)  
And BARM, upo.

**[03:28:28.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004886)  
Kaya rin po ang BARM, medyo limited din po kami sa

**[03:28:30.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004887)  
sa aming expenditures, no?

**[03:28:32.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004888)  
Because of the...

**[03:28:33.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004889)  
Anong tawag doon?

**[03:28:36.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004890)  
Yeah, because of the organic law.

**[03:28:38.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004891)  
The Black Grant, yes.

**[03:28:42.580] Senator Alan Peter S. Cayetano** (asr-004892)  
Thank you, Chairman. Thank you.

**[03:28:44.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004893)  
Thank you so much po.

**[03:28:45.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004894)  
We will be sending po all the documents po to

**[03:28:47.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-004895)  
the Committee and to the Honorable Minority Leader.

**[03:28:50.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004896)  
Thank you, your Minority Leader,

**[03:28:51.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004897)  
for your questions.

**[03:28:53.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004898)  
Thank you so much.

**[03:28:54.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004899)  
Parang na-remind na ako sa ano yung binanggit mong

**[03:28:56.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004900)  
J. D. Legaspi sounds familiar eh.

**[03:28:59.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004901)  
Di ba? Medyo ano na rin.

**[03:29:01.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004902)  
Matagal na rin yan.

**[03:29:02.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004903)  
I think, sila rin yung contractor na

**[03:29:04.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004904)  
the most expensive boulevard,

**[03:29:06.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004905)  
not in the Philippines,

**[03:29:07.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004906)  
not in the world,

**[03:29:08.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004907)  
but in the universe.

**[03:29:09.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004908)  
Yung Makapagal Highway.

**[03:29:11.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004909)  
Di ba?

**[03:29:12.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004910)  
Ayun lang.

**[03:29:13.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004911)  
Anyway, just to give a few break,

**[03:29:15.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004912)  
ano,

**[03:29:16.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004913)  
we'll give a few minutes break, no?

**[03:29:18.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004914)  
Para makapag-lunch naman yung

**[03:29:20.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004915)  
Secretary Dizon

**[03:29:21.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004916)  
and the DPWH family

**[03:29:23.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004917)  
and also our Secretariat

**[03:29:25.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004918)  
hasn't even lunch yet.

**[03:29:26.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004919)  
Mga 15 to 20 minutes,

**[03:29:27.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004920)  
we'll resume.

**[03:29:28.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004921)  
Okay?

**[03:29:29.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004922)  
This hereby

**[03:29:32.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004923)  
This hereby

**[03:29:33.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004924)  
This hereby is suspended.

**[03:29:35.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-004925)  
Thank you.

**[04:19:30.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005031)  
Secretary Vince Dizon, you wanted to make a manifestation?

**[04:19:44.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005031-split-2)  
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, if the committee will allow us, while we were on break, we conferred with the staff of the Senate President regarding the red flags

**[04:20:00.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005032)  
that were brought to our attention. And we would like to again thank the Senate President and his staff for their diligence in ensuring that we are transparent and ensure that the people's money is budgeted and spent the way it should be, na tama at hindi tayo nagkakaroon ng duplication at iba pang mga hindi tayo sigurado. So,

**[04:20:30.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005033)  
After conferring with the staff of the Senate President, we have broken down the red flags into number one, the majority of which are those without station limits, bridge IDs, and coordinates.

**[04:20:52.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005034)  
This is a total of 6,113 projects.

**[04:21:00.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005035)  
We would like to inform the committee and also the Senate President that we are happy to report that actually the station limits are actually in the supporting documents of the station limits, bridge IDs, and coordinates themselves of those 6,113 projects are actually in the supporting documents submitted by the district engineers and regional offices.

**[04:21:30.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005036)  
Hindi lang po naisama sa project title sa National Expenditure Program. And this is easily verifiable, Mr. Chairman. What we will just do is put the station limits, bridge IDs and coordinates in the line items, and we will be submitting them to the Senate Committee on Finance. So with that, the originally

**[04:22:00.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005037)  
7,107

**[04:22:01.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005038)  
projects that were flagged by the

**[04:22:04.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005039)  
Senate President is now reduced

**[04:22:06.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005040)  
to 994.

**[04:22:09.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005041)  
Second,

**[04:22:10.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005042)  
Mr. Chairman, out of the

**[04:22:12.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005043)  
994, there are

**[04:22:14.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005044)  
347

**[04:22:16.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005045)  
projects

**[04:22:18.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005046)  
that were flagged

**[04:22:20.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005047)  
as lump sum.

**[04:22:22.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005048)  
We acknowledge this, Mr. Chairman. That is why

**[04:22:24.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005049)  
actually we presented

**[04:22:25.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005050)  
the lump sum budgets

**[04:22:28.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005051)  
earlier and the justifications.

**[04:22:30.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005052)  
What we will now do, Mr.

**[04:22:32.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005053)  
Chairman, is we will

**[04:22:33.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005054)  
at our best specify

**[04:22:36.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005055)  
these lump

**[04:22:38.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005056)  
sum budgets in

**[04:22:40.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005057)  
order to address the

**[04:22:42.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005058)  
challenges and problems that

**[04:22:44.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005059)  
we discussed earlier.

**[04:22:46.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005060)  
After deducting

**[04:22:47.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005061)  
the 347 from the

**[04:22:49.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005062)  
994, we are

**[04:22:52.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005063)  
left with 647,

**[04:22:54.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005064)  
roughly about 5%

**[04:22:56.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005065)  
of the budget

**[04:22:58.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005066)  
of the number of projects

**[04:22:59.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005067)  
in the budget. And these are now

**[04:23:02.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005068)  
going to be jointly

**[04:23:04.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005069)  
validated, Mr.

**[04:23:06.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005070)  
Chairman, similar to what we

**[04:23:08.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005071)  
did last year

**[04:23:10.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005072)  
with the

**[04:23:12.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005073)  
Office of the Senate President

**[04:23:14.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005074)  
as well as the Committee on Finance

**[04:23:16.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005075)  
para po masigurado

**[04:23:18.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005076)  
natin na talagang walang duplicate

**[04:23:20.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005077)  
ito. Ito ay hindi

**[04:23:22.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005078)  
overlapping.

**[04:23:24.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005079)  
And I think we can do this

**[04:23:26.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005080)  
fairly quickly.

**[04:23:28.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005081)  
Mr. Chairman, on a final note,

**[04:23:30.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005082)  
Mr. Chairman, we

**[04:23:32.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005083)  
commit to the Senate Committee

**[04:23:34.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005084)  
on Finance, to the Senate President and the

**[04:23:36.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005085)  
Chairman, that

**[04:23:37.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005086)  
if there are any

**[04:23:39.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005087)  
projects out of the 647

**[04:23:43.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005088)  
that are

**[04:23:44.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005089)  
deemed to be either duplicate

**[04:23:45.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005090)  
or overlapping,

**[04:23:48.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005091)  
we will immediately

**[04:23:50.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005092)  
move for the striking

**[04:23:52.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005093)  
out and removal of these

**[04:23:54.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005094)  
projects

**[04:23:54.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005095)  
from the budget

**[04:23:56.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005096)  
of the

**[04:23:58.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005097)  
DPWH.

**[04:24:00.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005098)  
So, in the interest of transparency,

**[04:24:02.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005099)  
we will be writing formally

**[04:24:04.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005100)  
the Office of the Senate

**[04:24:06.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005101)  
President as well as the Committee, the

**[04:24:08.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005102)  
Honorable Chairman, explaining

**[04:24:10.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005103)  
all of this, and we will be making

**[04:24:12.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005104)  
everything

**[04:24:14.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005105)  
public, Mr. Chairman.

**[04:24:16.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005106)  
Also, it's important to note, Mr. Chairman,

**[04:24:18.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005107)  
and I forgot to mention this earlier

**[04:24:20.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005108)  
in my presentation, the

**[04:24:21.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005109)  
DPWH, in its transparency

**[04:24:24.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005110)  
portal, transparency.dpwh.gov.ph,

**[04:24:28.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005111)  
we will be publishing

**[04:24:29.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005112)  
all the 11,000

**[04:24:32.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005113)  
plus projects with

**[04:24:34.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005114)  
all the supporting documents

**[04:24:36.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005115)  
for the

**[04:24:38.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005116)  
general public and, of course, for the

**[04:24:39.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005117)  
members of the Senate and

**[04:24:41.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005118)  
the Finance Committee. Thank you very

**[04:24:44.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005119)  
much, and again, I would like to thank

**[04:24:45.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005120)  
the Senate President for his diligence

**[04:24:48.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005121)  
and his staff for his diligence.

**[04:24:50.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005122)  
Very important po talaga yung pag

**[04:24:51.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005123)  
tutulungan natin and

**[04:24:54.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005124)  
to make sure that we are transparent

**[04:24:55.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005125)  
and we make sure that we...

**[04:24:58.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005126)  
budget the people's money in the most

**[04:24:59.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005127)  
prudent way. Maraming

**[04:25:01.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005128)  
salamat po, Mr. Chairman.

**[04:25:03.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005129)  
Thank you, Secretary Vins.

**[04:25:06.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005130)  
Anyway, it's really been a

**[04:25:08.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005131)  
challenge, no, ever since you took

**[04:25:09.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005132)  
over. It was not

**[04:25:12.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005133)  
a good time. I mean, it was not the best

**[04:25:14.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005134)  
of times for the Department,

**[04:25:16.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005135)  
rocked by the biggest

**[04:25:17.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005136)  
scandal ever. So,

**[04:25:20.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005137)  
but this early, we would like to thank

**[04:25:22.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005138)  
you for the reforms that you are trying

**[04:25:23.980] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005139)  
to institute and continue to

**[04:25:25.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005140)  
institute.

**[04:25:28.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005141)  
It's not...

**[04:25:29.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005142)  
We cannot do everything

**[04:25:31.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005143)  
overnight, no, because

**[04:25:33.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005144)  
it has been there for quite

**[04:25:35.320] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005145)  
some time, but

**[04:25:37.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005146)  
I guess through

**[04:25:39.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005147)  
our

**[04:25:40.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005148)  
joint efforts, I think we

**[04:25:43.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005149)  
will be able to try and

**[04:25:45.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005150)  
improve everything, no, and try

**[04:25:47.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005151)  
to

**[04:25:48.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005152)  
hopefully cleanse

**[04:25:50.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005153)  
as far as we can,

**[04:25:54.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005154)  
no? Hindi naman natin kayang gawin ito

**[04:25:55.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005155)  
overnight, but I think

**[04:25:57.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005156)  
we have...

**[04:25:58.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005157)  
Gained, so ano already?

**[04:26:00.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005158)  
Gained

**[04:26:01.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005159)  
significant accomplishments as compared

**[04:26:04.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005160)  
to before. Dati, project

**[04:26:06.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005161)  
title lang, amount, yun lang, no?

**[04:26:08.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005162)  
Ngayon nga, we

**[04:26:09.160] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005163)  
are now quite strict with

**[04:26:12.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005164)  
the requirement, requiring

**[04:26:14.500] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005165)  
program of works and other

**[04:26:16.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005166)  
requirements. So,

**[04:26:18.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005167)  
but we will

**[04:26:21.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005168)  
still continue to work

**[04:26:22.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005169)  
together and hopefully with this

**[04:26:24.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005170)  
budget reform. So,

**[04:26:26.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005171)  
hopefully we can be

**[04:27:43.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005210)  
Thank you, Secretary Vince Nison.

**[04:27:46.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005211)  
Today, as we scrutinize the budget

**[04:27:48.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005212)  
today of the department, I'd like to

**[04:27:50.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005213)  
begin by raising some

**[04:27:52.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005214)  
observations that

**[04:27:53.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005215)  
our staff

**[04:27:54.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005216)  
believe that

**[04:27:57.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005217)  
warrant closer examination, and I'm

**[04:27:59.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005218)  
hoping that DPWH will

**[04:28:01.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005219)  
take this

**[04:28:03.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005220)  
constructively and may be

**[04:28:05.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005221)  
considered, probably, some way

**[04:28:07.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005222)  
can be considered red flags in the

**[04:28:09.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005223)  
proposed budget. So, let

**[04:28:11.160] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005224)  
we start, of course, with the

**[04:28:13.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005225)  
reforms on the flood management

**[04:28:15.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005226)  
projects.

**[04:28:18.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005227)  
We have some

**[04:28:19.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005228)  
slides.

**[04:28:21.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005229)  
Ito po tungkol sa mga incomplete requirements

**[04:28:23.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005230)  
because with your

**[04:28:25.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005231)  
presentation earlier, of course, we now,

**[04:28:27.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005232)  
are more,

**[04:28:29.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005233)  
we are stricter, no? We have

**[04:28:30.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005234)  
program works, geotag photos,

**[04:28:34.320] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005235)

**[04:28:37.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005237)

or feasibility study.

**[04:28:45.360] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005241)  
So, these are now the stringent

**[04:28:47.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005242)  
project requirements. So,

**[04:28:49.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005243)  
there are some, nireview namin yung

**[04:28:51.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005244)  
mga projects, nakalista sa ilalim ng flood

**[04:28:52.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005245)  
management program, gamit

**[04:28:55.160] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005246)  
ang listahan ng requirements ng DPWH para sa

**[04:28:57.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005247)  
mga project nung ito. Kaya lang,

**[04:28:59.500] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005248)  
ito, ito yung mga requirements,

**[04:29:01.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005249)  
stringent requirements,

**[04:29:03.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005250)  
sabi nga, kung nung nakaraan,

**[04:29:05.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005251)  
out of control, ang flood control,

**[04:29:07.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005252)  
ngayon, titiyakin na natin na under

**[04:29:09.160] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005253)  
control na with your,

**[04:29:10.980] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005254)  
with our, no, no, with our,

**[04:29:13.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005255)  
with our

**[04:29:15.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005256)  
convergence,

**[04:29:17.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005257)  
we have to work together, no? Para

**[04:29:19.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005258)  
matiyak natin na under control na ito.

**[04:29:22.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005259)  
Sabi nyo kalina, may stringent

**[04:29:23.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005260)  
requirements sa vetting ng bawat

**[04:29:25.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005261)  
infrastructure projects, lalo na ang flood control.

**[04:29:27.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005262)  
Projects, kailangan natin compliant

**[04:29:28.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005263)  
at nabanggit natin kanina.

**[04:29:31.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005264)  
But our findings, sa

**[04:29:32.760] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005265)  
1,256 projects, mayroon

**[04:29:35.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005266)  
pa rin nakita na 90 projects

**[04:29:37.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005267)  
worth 4.5

**[04:29:39.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005268)  
billion na partially complied.

**[04:29:41.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005269)  
Siguro pwede ng take note na lang, no?

**[04:29:43.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005270)  
Para ma-check also, no? Ito po.

**[04:29:45.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005271)  
So, out of the 90 projects worth

**[04:29:46.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005272)  
4.5 billion, partially complied,

**[04:29:50.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005273)  
habang 65

**[04:29:50.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005274)

na nagkakalagyan, 3.7

**[04:29:54.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005276)  
billion, are not compliant.

**[04:29:57.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005277)  
At all, no? So, mayroong

**[04:29:58.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005278)  
65

**[04:30:00.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005279)  
projects that are not

**[04:30:01.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005280)  
compliant at all

**[04:30:03.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005281)  
dun sa mga requirements.

**[04:30:06.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005282)  
So, siguro, tanong lang,

**[04:30:08.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005283)  
siguro, you have to

**[04:30:09.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005284)

**[04:30:11.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005285)  
the treatment of the DPWH to the

**[04:30:13.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005286)  
155 projects na ito

**[04:30:16.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005287)  
na hindi compliant? What will be the

**[04:30:17.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005288)  
treatment to the non-compliant

**[04:30:20.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005289)

**[04:30:31.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005295)  
At talagang, kailangan po talaga

**[04:30:33.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005296)  
pagkatiwagaan natin

**[04:30:35.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005297)  
ang ating mga district engineer

**[04:30:38.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005298)  
at kung sigay magkamali

**[04:30:39.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005299)  
at hindi sumunod sa bagong

**[04:30:41.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005300)  
mga requirements

**[04:30:44.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005301)  
natin, eh, pasensyahan na lang po.

**[04:30:46.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005302)  
I have been informed,

**[04:30:48.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005303)  
Mr. Chairman, that

**[04:30:50.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005304)  
the vast majority of those

**[04:30:52.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005305)  
that are either partially

**[04:30:54.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005306)  
complied or not complied

**[04:30:56.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005307)  
are actually complied.

**[04:30:58.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005308)  
It's just that in the

**[04:30:59.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005309)  
file USB that was

**[04:31:02.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005310)  
provided, parang po hindi

**[04:31:04.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005311)  
na-transfer. So, what we

**[04:31:06.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005312)  
will do, Mr. Chairman, is

**[04:31:07.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005313)  
we will give the link,

**[04:31:10.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005314)  
the direct link

**[04:31:12.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005315)  
na po dun sa transparency portal.

**[04:31:14.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005316)  
Mukhang meron pong hindi na

**[04:31:16.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005317)  
isama dun sa

**[04:31:18.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005318)  
USB na ibinigay. But

**[04:31:20.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005319)  
nonetheless, I think

**[04:31:21.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005320)  
our new Assistant Secretary

**[04:31:23.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005321)  
for IT who just came in

**[04:31:26.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005322)  
two weeks ago

**[04:31:27.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005323)  
can give us an update.

**[04:31:29.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005324)  
On the portal. Kasi po, at least

**[04:31:31.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005325)  
sa pagsa portal, that's already

**[04:31:33.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005326)  
sa publiko na po yun, no? And

**[04:31:35.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005327)  
anyone can access it. Para po

**[04:31:38.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005328)  
ma-access na natin

**[04:31:40.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005329)  
lahat doon.

**[04:31:42.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005330)  
Maybe, if you don't mind, Mr. Chairman,

**[04:31:44.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005331)  
I will ask Assistant Secretary Chair.

**[04:31:45.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005332)  
You can ask Assistant Secretary

**[04:31:47.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005333)  
Nuestro, pero ito pong pinapakita, ito yung

**[04:31:49.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005334)  
ano, no? Staff work

**[04:31:51.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005335)  
tinignan, chinik

**[04:31:53.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005336)

of course. That's why we are sending

**[04:31:57.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005338)  
this to you para po ma-validate.

**[04:31:59.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005339)  
Well, we will send po immediately and

**[04:32:01.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005340)  
compare it with the portal.

**[04:32:05.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005341)  
But I think

**[04:32:06.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005342)  
majority of

**[04:32:08.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005343)  
the non-complied and partially

**[04:32:09.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005344)  
complied is complete.

**[04:32:11.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005345)  
I will just get the exact number

**[04:32:13.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005346)  
po from planning and we will submit

**[04:32:15.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005347)  
it. Ngayon po, kung meron

**[04:32:17.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005348)  
po talagang non-complied

**[04:32:19.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005349)  
o talagang kulang, lalo na yung mga

**[04:32:21.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005350)  
essentials like the PWP

**[04:32:23.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005351)  
or W, and especially for

**[04:32:25.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005352)  
flood mitigation in this case, yung

**[04:32:27.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005353)  
either master plan,

**[04:32:29.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005354)  
our drainage master plan,

**[04:32:31.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005355)  
river basin master plan, at yung mga

**[04:32:33.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005356)  
letters of no objection,

**[04:32:36.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005357)  
yun po ay tatanggalin

**[04:32:38.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005358)  
po namin at isasama po namin

**[04:32:40.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005359)  
sa gagawin naming

**[04:32:41.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005360)  
amendments kung hindi ito

**[04:32:43.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005361)  
kumpleto. Thank you.

**[04:32:45.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005362)  
Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. At least now,

**[04:32:48.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005363)  
the department will be very strict

**[04:32:49.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005364)  
on the requirements.

**[04:32:51.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005365)  
Sir Asec Nuestro, please.

**[04:32:55.440] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005366)  
Yes, good afternoon.

**[04:32:57.860] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005367)  
Just recently, we

**[04:32:59.860] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005368)  
have added a new

**[04:33:01.440] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005369)  
module to the, or feature

**[04:33:04.060] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005370)  
to the transparency portal.

**[04:33:06.800] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005371)  
We included

**[04:33:08.180] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005372)  
the NEP

**[04:33:09.140] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005373)  
in the portal with

**[04:33:11.520] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005374)  
where you can see the supporting

**[04:33:13.800] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005375)  
documents. However,

**[04:33:15.920] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005376)  
we have a requirement

**[04:33:17.900] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005377)  
to redact personal information

**[04:33:19.960] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005378)  
so we are in the process of

**[04:33:21.540] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005379)  
redacting them

**[04:33:23.680] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005380)  
using AI. Kasi masyadong

**[04:33:26.320] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005381)  
voluminous yung

**[04:33:27.380] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005382)  
supporting documents.

**[04:33:29.860] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005383)  
Five documents per line

**[04:33:32.060] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005384)  
item. So, it'll be the 11,000

**[04:33:34.180] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005385)  
line items. That would be

**[04:33:36.220] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005386)  
55,000

**[04:33:38.260] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005387)  
documents. So,

**[04:33:40.100] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005388)  
we are redacting them

**[04:33:42.100] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005389)  
but not manually. We're using AI to do

**[04:33:44.120] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005390)  
this. And as they

**[04:33:46.160] DPWH Assistant Secretary Angelo Nuestro** (asr-005391)  
get completed, they get filled up.

**[04:33:48.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005392)  
But we don't wait,

**[04:33:49.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005393)  
Mr. Chairman, just to

**[04:33:51.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005394)  
anurang po si Asec Jello.

**[04:33:53.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005395)  
We don't wait for the, na matapos

**[04:33:56.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005396)  
lahat. Pagka po meron na pong

**[04:33:57.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005397)  
natatapos, ina-upload na po namin.

**[04:33:59.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005398)  
So, what we will do po is we will just

**[04:34:01.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005399)  
work again with the staff

**[04:34:02.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005400)  
and then we will check

**[04:34:05.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005401)  
ano ba talaga yung

**[04:34:07.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005402)  
pulang at hindi nag-comply.

**[04:34:09.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005403)  
But I was informed that based on

**[04:34:11.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005404)  
the list, I think

**[04:34:12.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005405)  
most of them are already

**[04:34:15.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005406)  
have complied. Pero meron pong

**[04:34:17.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005407)  
mangingan-ngingan na hindi and

**[04:34:19.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005408)  
papatanggal po namin lahat.

**[04:34:21.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005409)  
Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

**[04:34:23.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005410)  
So, siguro we'll just wait for the validation

**[04:34:25.760] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005411)  
so that

**[04:34:27.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005412)  
when we prepare the committee report,

**[04:34:29.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005413)  
at least maayos na ito. That's why we are

**[04:34:31.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005414)  
bringing all of these things already

**[04:34:33.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005415)  
during the budget hearings.

**[04:34:37.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005416)  
According to the

**[04:34:39.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005417)  
Secretary earlier, priority natin

**[04:34:41.760] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005418)  
for next year is to finish the unfinished

**[04:34:43.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005419)  
projects.

**[04:34:45.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005420)  
I agree with that.

**[04:34:47.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005421)  
And closing the gaps first.

**[04:34:49.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005422)  
Sabi nga, hindi po talaga tayo maka

**[04:34:51.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005423)  
move on kung

**[04:34:53.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005424)  
walang closure.

**[04:34:56.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005425)  
Ika nga. So, kinakilangan

**[04:34:57.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005426)  
masaraduhan

**[04:34:59.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005427)  
muna lahat ng gaps.

**[04:35:01.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005428)  
Moving forward requires

**[04:35:02.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005429)  
settling the past.

**[04:35:05.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005430)  
Sa 1,256 projects sa ilalim

**[04:35:07.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005431)  
ng flood management program,

**[04:35:09.980] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005432)  
ilan dito ang alinsunod o inline

**[04:35:11.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005433)  
sa priority natapusin

**[04:35:13.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005434)  
ang unfinished projects?

**[04:35:15.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005435)  
Can we have the figures of the

**[04:35:17.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005436)  
1,256 projects?

**[04:35:19.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005437)  
How many of those are part of

**[04:35:21.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005438)  
the unfinished projects

**[04:35:23.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005439)  
and how many are new projects?

**[04:35:28.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005440)  
Mr. Chairman,

**[04:35:29.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005441)  
we will just get the data if you give us

**[04:35:31.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005442)  
a few minutes.

**[04:36:25.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005455)  
Apologies po, they are still conferring

**[04:36:28.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005456)  
on the exact number. We will give the

**[04:36:29.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005457)  
exact number, but it looks like

**[04:36:31.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005458)  
it's roughly about 65%,

**[04:36:33.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005459)  
Mr. Chairman, of the

**[04:36:34.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005460)  
1,255,

**[04:36:37.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005461)  
1,256 projects

**[04:36:39.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005462)  
for flood mitigation that are

**[04:36:41.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005463)  
continuing

**[04:36:42.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005464)  
projects. So essentially,

**[04:36:45.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005465)  
continuing means

**[04:36:46.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005466)  
finishing, unfinished,

**[04:36:49.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005467)  
and closing the gaps,

**[04:36:52.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005468)  
Mr. Chairman. I just want

**[04:36:53.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005469)  
to clarify, kasi sometimes po

**[04:36:55.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005470)  
kasi, dahil agam nyo naman po

**[04:36:57.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005471)  
dito sa DPWH dati, puro facing,

**[04:37:00.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005472)  
so pag-closing

**[04:37:01.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005473)  
the gaps po, parang ang lumagabas,

**[04:37:04.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005474)  
new project siya,

**[04:37:05.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005475)  
kahit na-closing the gap. Kasi

**[04:37:07.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005476)  
agimbawa po,

**[04:37:09.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005477)  
meron pong hindi nagawa

**[04:37:11.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005478)  
na dahil doon may bungi,

**[04:37:13.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005479)  
may butas, dahil sa right-of-way

**[04:37:15.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005480)  
issue, may bahay po sa gitna, meron pong

**[04:37:17.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005481)  
mga ganong klaseng mga sitwasyon,

**[04:37:19.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005482)  
gagabas po ng new project

**[04:37:21.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005483)  
yun.

**[04:37:23.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005484)  
But actually, it's not new.

**[04:37:26.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005485)  
It's all continuing.

**[04:37:27.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005486)  
Yun naman po sa mga new,

**[04:37:29.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005487)  
Mr. Chairman,

**[04:37:31.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005488)  
this will be mostly the

**[04:37:33.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005489)  
projects na hindi in-implement dati,

**[04:37:35.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005490)  
tulad ng mga dams natin,

**[04:37:37.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005491)  
yung mga detention basins,

**[04:37:39.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005492)  
at iba pong mga flood mitigation

**[04:37:41.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005493)  
projects.

**[04:37:43.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005494)  
Actually, itong ano, no,

**[04:37:45.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005495)  
recently itong nangyari sa Habagat, no,

**[04:37:47.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005496)  
wala naman tayong storm noon, but the

**[04:37:49.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005497)  
recent Habagat, we have seen the

**[04:37:51.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005498)  
effects of totally

**[04:37:53.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005499)  
naging zero yung flood control,

**[04:37:55.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005500)  
I think. Malaking,

**[04:37:57.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005501)  
malaking epekto na yung mga

**[04:37:59.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005502)  
puwang, nag-iwan tayo ng puwang,

**[04:38:02.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005503)  
na talagang iniwan na lang yung mga gaps.

**[04:38:04.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005504)  
In fact, when I had the chance to visit

**[04:38:06.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005505)  
Pampanga, no,

**[04:38:08.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005506)  
si Governor Pineda

**[04:38:09.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005507)  
requested, no,

**[04:38:13.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005508)  
nagpatulong siya na makompleto yung

**[04:38:15.980] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005509)  
nasa likuran ng isang

**[04:38:17.500] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005510)  
SUC na nadalaw namin doon. Sabi niya, may flood

**[04:38:19.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005511)  
control dito, kaya lang, dahil sa

**[04:38:21.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005512)  
nangyari,

**[04:38:24.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005513)  
tinigil.

**[04:38:24.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005514)  
So, ang nangyari, hindi makalabas

**[04:38:26.760] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005515)  
yung tubig, pero

**[04:38:27.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005516)  
kapag umuulan, tuloy-tuloy naman yung

**[04:38:29.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005517)  
pasok, no? So, dahil yung mga puwang,

**[04:38:32.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005518)  
pumapasok yung tubig.

**[04:38:33.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005519)  
So, are

**[04:38:35.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005520)  
the majority, I presume

**[04:38:37.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005521)  
that majority of those flood control

**[04:38:39.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005522)  
projects in the

**[04:38:40.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005523)  
problematic Central Luzon area,

**[04:38:43.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005524)  
Bulacan and Pampanga

**[04:38:45.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005525)  
are siguro karamihan

**[04:38:47.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005526)  
unfinished? Can we have that also?

**[04:38:49.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005527)  
We will provide the figure,

**[04:38:52.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005528)  
Mr. Chairman, as well as

**[04:38:53.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005529)  
the immediate interventions that we

**[04:38:55.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005530)  
will be implementing

**[04:38:57.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005531)  
in order to address the

**[04:38:59.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005532)  
unfinished projects

**[04:39:01.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005533)  
and also the gaps.

**[04:39:04.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005534)  
Pero, hindi lang po ito

**[04:39:05.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005535)  
puro dyke, Mr. Chairman, for

**[04:39:07.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005536)  
just to be clear. Marami

**[04:39:09.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005537)  
din po ditong mga pumping station

**[04:39:11.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005538)  
na unfinished, mga floodgates

**[04:39:13.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005539)  
na unfinished. So,

**[04:39:15.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005540)  
we will give a full list, Mr. Chairman.

**[04:39:18.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005541)  
Actually,

**[04:39:18.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005542)  
anyway,

**[04:39:19.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005543)  
when we said that we will resume,

**[04:39:23.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005544)  
I think we really have to resume kasi ang

**[04:39:24.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005545)  
kawawa dito yung mga,

**[04:39:25.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005546)  
the flood victims in Central

**[04:39:28.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005547)  
Luzon. Of course,

**[04:39:31.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005548)  
siguro pinakamasakit yung

**[04:39:32.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005549)  
masunugang ka pero yung mabahaan ka

**[04:39:34.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005550)  
next to masunugang ka rin dahil

**[04:39:36.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005551)  
properties.

**[04:39:38.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005552)  
You'll be losing some properties

**[04:39:40.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005553)  
as well. And

**[04:39:42.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005554)  
at the same time, we need

**[04:39:44.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005555)  
to accelerate growth. But at the same time,

**[04:39:46.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005556)  
yun nga lang, balance

**[04:39:48.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005557)  
yung accountability with the stringent

**[04:39:50.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005558)  
requirements and safeguards kailangan natin

**[04:39:52.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005559)  
i-resume so that the past

**[04:39:54.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005560)  
flood control project,

**[04:39:55.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005561)  
by closing the gaps, kahit pa paano

**[04:39:57.980] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005562)  
mag-i-epektibo siya, na hindi naman masayang.

**[04:40:00.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005563)  
Okay, so,

**[04:40:01.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005564)  
we shall await for the numbers,

**[04:40:04.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005565)  
for the figures of the projects.

**[04:40:05.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005566)  
We will submit them immediately.

**[04:40:09.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005567)  
And then next,

**[04:40:10.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005568)  
ito pong nakalagay na

**[04:40:11.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005569)  
various projects.

**[04:40:16.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005570)  
We just want to ask

**[04:40:17.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005571)  
to be clarified, pre-feasibility studies,

**[04:40:20.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005572)  
feasibility studies of various DPWH

**[04:40:22.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005573)  
projects worth 300 million

**[04:40:23.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005574)  
and then preliminary

**[04:40:25.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005575)  
engineering of various

**[04:40:27.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005576)  
DPWH projects, 504 million

**[04:40:30.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005577)  
total with 2 million per

**[04:40:32.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005578)  
district office and 5 million per regional office

**[04:40:34.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005579)  
including BARM and

**[04:40:35.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005580)  
central office. And then

**[04:40:37.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005581)  
detailed engineering of various

**[04:40:39.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005582)  
DPWH projects of 2.25

**[04:40:42.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005583)  
billion with 10 million

**[04:40:43.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005584)  
per district office and 15

**[04:40:45.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005585)  
million per regional office

**[04:40:47.760] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005586)  
including BARM and the central office. So,

**[04:40:50.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005587)  
tanong lang natin, ano-ano po yung

**[04:40:51.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005588)  
various projects?

**[04:40:53.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005589)  
Kung hindi pa na-identify the projects, ano po

**[04:40:55.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005590)  
mismo ang ina-approve rate natin ngayon?

**[04:40:57.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005591)  
So, we just have to be specific

**[04:40:59.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005592)  
this time, no? Kasi yun ang pag-usapan natin

**[04:41:01.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005593)  
as part of the reforms.

**[04:41:03.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005594)  
Mr. Chairman, on the

**[04:41:06.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005595)

and

**[04:41:08.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005597)  
detailed engineering studies

**[04:41:11.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005598)  
budgets that you presented earlier,

**[04:41:14.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005599)  
Mr. Chairman, I just need to clarify,

**[04:41:16.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005600)  
yung aming requirements

po for the

**[04:41:19.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005602)  
five requirements,

**[04:41:22.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005603)  
we only applied them

**[04:41:24.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005604)  
for the capital

**[04:41:25.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005605)  
outlay projects, for the infrastructure

**[04:41:27.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005606)  
projects, for the

**[04:41:29.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005607)  
line items on feasibility

**[04:41:31.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005608)  
studies, ano po yun?

**[04:41:34.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005609)  
Wala pong requirements yun.

**[04:41:35.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005610)  
Ano lang po yun? Consultancy

**[04:41:37.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005611)  
services lang po yun.

**[04:41:39.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005612)  
At kailangan po talaga yun ng department.

**[04:41:42.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005613)  
For the lump sum

during our presentation,

**[04:41:49.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005617)  
but to give more detail, Mr.

**[04:41:51.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005618)  
Chairman, may I ask Undersecretary

**[04:41:53.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005619)  
Lara Esquivel to probably go through

**[04:41:55.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005620)

**[04:42:05.000] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005625)  
Good afternoon, Mr. Chair. For the various

**[04:42:07.480] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005626)  
projects po, this slide, for

**[04:42:09.460] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005627)  
pre-feasibility studies and feasibility

**[04:42:11.660] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005628)  
studies, actually, we already have

**[04:42:13.480] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005629)  
a long, long list of all

**[04:42:15.380] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005630)  
the priority projects of the administration

**[04:42:17.580] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005631)  
that we include

**[04:42:19.520] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005632)  
in this, whatever budget may

**[04:42:21.500] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005633)  
be approved for our studies.

**[04:42:23.080] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005634)  
So, we can, actually,

**[04:42:25.460] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005635)  
commit our long list of studies that we've

**[04:42:27.440] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005636)  
been hoping to fund.

**[04:42:29.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005637)  
Mr. Chairman, just to

**[04:42:31.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005638)  
add lang po to you, si Lara, ang problema

**[04:42:33.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005639)  
po kasi dito sa feasibility studies

**[04:42:35.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005640)  
is, isa ito sa mga

**[04:42:37.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005641)  
naging problema kung bakit

**[04:42:39.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005642)  
marami sa mga

**[04:42:40.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005643)  
either flood control or ibang projects

**[04:42:43.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005644)  
eh hindi tama

**[04:42:45.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005645)  
ang pagkaka-implement. Dahil po,

**[04:42:48.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005646)  
unfortunately, over

**[04:42:49.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005647)  
the years po, very limited ang

**[04:42:51.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005648)  
pondo ng department for feasibility

**[04:42:53.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005649)  
studies and

**[04:42:55.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005650)  
detailed engineering. So,

**[04:42:57.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005651)  
ang nangyayari po dito, to be quite

**[04:42:59.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005652)  
frank, Mr. Chairman,

**[04:43:01.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005653)  
is marami po sa mga

**[04:43:03.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005654)  
implementing offices, kung baga nag

**[04:43:05.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005655)  
ano na lang, nagkakanya-kanya

**[04:43:07.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005656)  
na lang, at kung ano na lang

**[04:43:08.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005657)  
ang mga proyektong

**[04:43:10.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005658)  
na ipopropose nila.

**[04:43:13.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005659)  
Dahil nga po, walang

**[04:43:14.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005660)  
mga magagalim na feasibility

**[04:43:17.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005661)  
studies at detailed

**[04:43:18.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005662)  
designs.

**[04:43:21.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005663)  
So, we will submit

**[04:43:23.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005664)  
po the list of all the projects,

**[04:43:25.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005665)  
that will be subject

**[04:43:27.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005666)  
to the

**[04:43:28.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005667)  
procurement of consultancy services

**[04:43:31.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005668)  
under feasibility studies.

**[04:43:34.760] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005669)  
Go ahead.

**[04:43:35.760] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005670)  
Yes, sir. Proceed.

**[04:43:37.140] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005671)  
Also po, Mr. Chair, the preliminary engineering

**[04:43:39.460] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005672)  
and detailed engineering. That is also

**[04:43:41.260] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005673)  
a long list of projects

**[04:43:43.280] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-005674)  
needing consultancy service.

**[04:43:46.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005675)  
Mr. Chairman,

**[04:43:47.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005676)  
we are also willing to maybe annex

**[04:43:49.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005677)  
that to the either

**[04:43:51.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005678)  
committee report or the eventual

**[04:43:53.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005679)  
GAA if necessary.

**[04:43:55.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005680)  
It is not an issue po, kasi

**[04:43:56.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005681)  
ano naman po yan. Nakalista naman po

**[04:43:59.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005682)  
lahat yan.

**[04:44:00.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005683)  
We just want to be more specific

**[04:44:03.320] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005684)  
this time para hindi na tayo na

**[04:44:04.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005685)  
paging controversial.

**[04:44:07.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005686)  
Including meron nga ano eh,

**[04:44:09.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005687)  
kasi DBM also

**[04:44:11.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005688)  
parang meron silang

**[04:44:12.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005689)  
before when you have

**[04:44:15.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005690)  
projects, mabawa, Barangay Hall

**[04:44:17.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005691)  
or Market

**[04:44:19.320] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005692)  
and other, parang

**[04:44:21.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005693)  
ginawa nila, gusto nila multi-purpose na lahat,

**[04:44:23.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005694)  
MPB na lahat. So,

**[04:44:25.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005695)  
sa akin kasi, the more

**[04:44:27.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005696)  
specific, the better.

**[04:44:29.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005697)  
Diba? Kasi alam nyo rin,

**[04:44:31.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005698)  
for DPWH also,

**[04:44:33.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005699)  
it's better for you, it's easier for you

**[04:44:35.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005700)  
to identify. O, diba kung anong

**[04:44:37.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005701)  
project, ang hirap kung lahat

**[04:44:39.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005702)  
MPB eh. So, I will also

**[04:44:41.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005703)  
ask our DBM

**[04:44:43.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005704)  
if this can be ano,

**[04:44:45.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005705)  
na dapat mas

**[04:44:47.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005706)  
payagan na specified yung

**[04:44:49.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005707)  
projects. I think that will be better.

**[04:44:51.760] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005708)  
Diba? Pagganbawa, Municipal

**[04:44:53.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005709)  
Hall, renovation of

**[04:44:55.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005710)  
Polisipalol, or

**[04:44:56.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005711)  
or

**[04:44:57.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005712)  
um

**[04:45:00.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005713)  
To market or anything, pati mga health center or health facilities.

**[04:45:04.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005714)  
Ngayon, lahat MPB ang gusto nila eh.

**[04:45:06.980] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005715)  
So, I think at least we agree.

**[04:45:09.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005716)  
The PWH agrees that it is better that it is specified.

**[04:45:14.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005717)  
And then, ito naman with regards to yung kanina.

**[04:45:17.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005718)  
Although kanina, we understood partially yun.

**[04:45:19.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005719)  
It has been explained by our secretary.

**[04:45:25.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005720)  
Lalo na yung mga kailangan na contingency every time there's a calamity.

**[04:45:30.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005721)  
Slippage at lahat.

**[04:45:32.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005722)  
Mga unplanned, unexpected.

**[04:45:36.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005723)  
Hopefully, we'll prepare a list later.

**[04:45:40.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005724)  
We'll see how we can go about it.

**[04:45:43.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005725)  
Anyway, SP already was here.

**[04:45:45.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005726)  
Alam niya rin yung dilema.

**[04:45:47.320] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005727)  
Pareho naman tayong naging local official.

**[04:45:52.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005728)  
And we know for a fact that this happens also in our locality.

**[04:45:56.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005729)  
But across the budget, it has been observed that there's

**[04:46:00.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005730)  
yung nga may presence pa rin ng lump sum items.

**[04:46:02.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005731)  
Probably one of those.

**[04:46:03.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005732)  
Yung contingency nga.

**[04:46:04.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005733)  
That was discussed earlier.

**[04:46:06.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005734)  
While the presence of these does not necessarily indicate

**[04:46:11.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005735)  
poor planning on the part of the agency.

**[04:46:13.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005736)  
We flagged them to better understand their purpose,

**[04:46:16.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005737)  
basis, intended, allocation, particularly since one of these.

**[04:46:19.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005738)  
Some of these items involve amounts reaching as much as 1 billion.

**[04:46:23.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005739)  
And most of these items are classified as nationwide,

**[04:46:27.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005740)  
meaning they are not

**[04:46:28.160] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005741)  
specifically attributed to a particular province, district or local government.

**[04:46:32.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005742)  
Ito, meron tayong konting slides ulit. So we ask how these nationwide lump sum

**[04:46:39.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005743)  
allocations are actually implemented.

**[04:46:41.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005744)  
May linaw bang written guidelines on how these funds are prioritized,

**[04:46:47.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005745)  
allocated, and eventually convert to specific projects?

**[04:46:53.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005746)  
Mr. Chairman, I think again I will refer you to Undersecretary Lara Esquibil

**[04:46:59.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005747)  
but

**[04:47:00.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005748)  
we have

**[04:47:01.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005749)  
a very very

**[04:47:02.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005750)

I presented it a little bit

**[04:47:06.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005754)  
in the presentation

**[04:47:07.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005755)  
earlier

**[04:47:08.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005756)  
but I think

**[04:47:09.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005757)  
to give more detail

**[04:47:10.600] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005758)  
we can

**[04:47:11.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005759)

were explained

**[04:47:18.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005766)  
so just to give us

**[04:47:19.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005767)  
a better understanding

**[04:47:21.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005768)  
of this

**[04:47:21.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005769)  
yes

**[04:47:21.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005770)

for the record

**[04:47:57.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005807)  
nung time po ni

completely

**[04:48:01.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005812)

ano naman to

**[04:48:03.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005815)  
naging

**[04:48:03.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005816)  
maraming

**[04:48:05.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005817)  
naging anomalya rin

**[04:48:06.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005818)  
yung mga dredging

**[04:48:08.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005819)  
doon na uso

**[04:48:09.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005820)  
so

**[04:48:09.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005821)  
from

**[04:48:10.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005822)  
so from that time

**[04:48:12.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005823)  
Duterte administration

**[04:48:14.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005824)  
and until now

**[04:48:15.500] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005825)  
talagang

**[04:48:16.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005826)

**[04:48:17.360] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005827)  
halos yung dredging

**[04:48:18.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005828)  
operations

**[04:48:19.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005829)  
so

**[04:48:19.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005830)  
is that one of the

**[04:48:20.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005831)  
reasons why our

**[04:48:27.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005837)  
yes

**[04:48:28.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005838)  
Mr. Chairman

**[04:48:28.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005839)

wala pong major dredging

**[04:48:31.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005841)

**[04:48:32.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005842)  
siguro meron no

**[04:48:32.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005843)  
yung patingi-tingi lang

**[04:48:33.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005844)  
in fact

at least 15 years

**[04:48:44.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005852)  
Mr. Chairman

this is really

**[04:48:52.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005860)  
one of the major

**[04:48:53.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005861)  
causes

**[04:48:53.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005862)  
of flooding

na patayin yung sa San Simon

**[04:49:03.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005873)  
siguro is that

**[04:49:05.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005874)  
because of the

**[04:49:06.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005875)  
heavily silted

**[04:49:07.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005876)

yung sa San Simon

**[04:49:45.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005913)  
is really dredging

**[04:49:46.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005914)  
what's the final

**[04:49:47.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005915)  
solution there

**[04:49:48.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005916)  
marami pong problema

summarize

**[04:49:53.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005920)  
dredging

**[04:49:54.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005921)  
is a major

**[04:49:56.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005922)  
part of the solution

**[04:49:57.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005923)  
kasi po

**[04:49:57.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005924)  
ang tubig po

**[04:49:59.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005925)

that entire area

**[04:50:04.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005930)  
where NREX

**[04:50:05.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005931)  
is right in the middle

**[04:50:06.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005932)  
the water

**[04:50:08.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005933)  
is not moving

**[04:50:09.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005934)  
Mr. Chairman

**[04:50:09.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005935)  
ang way lang po

**[04:50:11.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005936)  
para mawala

**[04:50:12.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005937)  
ang tubig doon

**[04:50:12.800] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005938)  
unfortunately

**[04:50:13.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005939)  
right now

**[04:50:14.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005940)  
is natural

**[04:50:15.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005941)  
evaporation na lang

**[04:50:16.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005942)  
kasi po

**[04:50:17.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005943)  
hindi na po siya

**[04:50:18.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005944)  
nakakalusot

**[04:50:19.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005945)  
sa mga water waste

**[04:50:20.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005946)  
dahil po

**[04:50:21.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005947)  
silted na po

**[04:50:21.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005948)  
and right now po

**[04:50:23.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005949)  
it's now

**[04:50:24.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005950)  
a multi-pronged

**[04:50:25.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005951)  
effort

**[04:50:25.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005952)  
between DPWH

**[04:50:27.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005953)  
the problem is

**[04:50:27.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005954)  
Binsopampanga

**[04:50:28.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005955)  
San Miguel Corporation

**[04:50:30.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005956)  
and

Metro Pacific Corporation

**[04:50:32.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005958)  
there's

**[04:50:33.560] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005959)  
right now

**[04:50:34.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005960)  
there's probably

**[04:50:34.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005961)  
25 heavy equipment

**[04:50:36.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005962)  
sabay-sabay po

**[04:50:36.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005963)  
dyan ngayon

**[04:50:37.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005964)  
pero

**[04:50:39.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005965)  
napakalaki po

**[04:50:40.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005966)  
talaga ng problem

**[04:50:41.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005967)  
so part of this

**[04:50:41.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005968)  
1 billion

**[04:50:42.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005969)  
will be used also

**[04:50:43.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005970)  
to for

**[04:50:44.320] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005971)  
of course

**[04:50:45.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005972)  
for dredging

**[04:50:46.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005973)  
and yun

**[04:50:47.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005974)  
the silting

**[04:50:47.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-005975)  
yes

**[04:50:48.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005976)  
actually

**[04:50:49.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005977)  
the large part

**[04:50:50.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005978)  
is for that

**[04:50:51.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005979)  
but

**[04:50:51.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005980)  
very important

**[04:50:52.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005981)  
ngang po

**[04:50:53.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005982)  
dahil po dati

**[04:50:54.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005983)  
yung naging source

**[04:50:56.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005984)  
po nung

**[04:50:56.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005985)  
alleged

corruption

**[04:50:58.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005987)  
no

**[04:50:58.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005988)  
kaya nahinto ito

**[04:51:00.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005989)  
is yung

**[04:51:01.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005990)  
dredging by contract

**[04:51:03.440] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005991)  
meaning

**[04:51:04.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005992)

ang magdedredge

**[04:51:10.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005998)  
ngayon po

**[04:51:11.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-005999)  
ang aming policy

**[04:51:12.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-006000)  
is we do

**[04:51:13.860] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-006001)  
dredging by

**[04:54:39.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006218)  
that's correct

**[04:54:40.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006219)  
of course

**[04:54:40.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006220)  
very familiar with that

**[04:54:42.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006221)  
and we have

**[04:54:43.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006222)  
in our place

**[04:54:44.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006223)  
parang sa Valenzuela

we have done

flood control

**[04:54:47.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006226)  
projects that are

**[04:54:49.320] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006227)  
if done right

**[04:54:50.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006228)  
mawawala yung bahay

**[04:54:51.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006229)  
we have

**[04:54:51.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006230)  
we have barangays there

**[04:54:53.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006231)  
that

**[04:54:53.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006232)  
are basins

**[04:54:54.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006233)  
close to San Juan River

**[04:54:56.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006234)  
talagang dati

**[04:54:56.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006235)  
o kahit

**[04:54:57.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006236)  
two weeks

**[04:54:57.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006237)  
ng

**[04:54:57.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006238)  
walang ulan

**[04:54:59.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006239)  
baha pa rin

**[04:55:00.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006240)  
dahil nga basin

**[04:55:01.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006241)  
pero what we installed

**[04:55:02.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006242)  
ang pumping stations

**[04:55:04.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006243)  
in the strategic areas

**[04:55:05.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006244)  
ginaya namin yung

**[04:55:06.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006245)  
sa Navotas

**[04:55:07.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006246)  
yung kanyang

**[04:55:08.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006247)  
bombastic pumps

**[04:55:10.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006248)  
so it has been

**[04:55:11.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006249)  
very effective

**[04:55:12.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006250)  
and

**[04:55:12.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006251)  
that's why

**[04:55:14.500] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006252)  
I am concerned

**[04:55:15.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006253)  
dun sa ano

**[04:55:15.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006254)  
yung mga areas niya

**[04:55:16.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006255)  
San Simon

**[04:55:17.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006256)  
tapos itong sa

**[04:55:18.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006257)  
ano ito

**[04:55:20.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006258)  
Quezon City

**[04:55:23.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006259)  
no

**[04:55:23.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006260)  
so we really need

**[04:55:26.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006261)  
to

**[04:55:26.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006262)  
to deshield pala

**[04:55:28.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006263)  
also

**[04:55:28.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006264)  
so ito yung mga pumping stations

**[04:55:30.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006265)  
namin

**[04:55:30.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006266)  
na Sekvins

**[04:55:31.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006267)  
nilagyan namin

**[04:55:33.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006268)  
those are my projects

**[04:55:34.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006269)  
before when I was mayor

**[04:55:36.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006270)  
and then congressman

**[04:55:37.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006271)  
eventually

**[04:55:38.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006272)  
naging very successful

**[04:55:39.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006273)  
naman

**[04:55:40.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006274)  
nawala na yung bahas

**[04:55:41.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006275)  
sa amin

**[04:55:41.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006276)  
in 5 to 6 barangays

**[04:55:43.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006277)  
meron na lang

**[04:55:44.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006278)  
isang talagang

**[04:55:44.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006279)  
nagkulang

**[04:55:45.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006280)  
which was

**[04:55:46.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006281)  
I think I already

**[04:55:48.160] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006282)  
told you about this

**[04:55:49.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006283)  
that I requested

**[04:55:50.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006284)  
former Secretary Bonoan

**[04:55:52.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006285)  
and Yusin Bernardo

**[04:55:53.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006286)  
back then

**[04:55:53.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006287)  
for 3 years already

**[04:55:55.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006288)  
yung pong huling

huling nalang naiwan

**[04:55:57.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006290)  
doon nalang nagbabaha

**[04:55:58.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006291)  
yung po sa Bati

**[04:55:59.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006292)  
San Perfecto

**[04:56:00.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006293)  
no

**[04:56:01.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006294)  
so I'm hoping that

**[04:56:02.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006295)  
it will be finally

**[04:56:03.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006296)  
na sana magawa

**[04:56:05.320] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006297)  
kawawa kasi

**[04:56:06.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006298)  
yun nalang

**[04:56:06.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006299)  
binabaha sa amin

**[04:56:07.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006300)  
na kawawa yung

mga nandun

**[04:56:09.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006302)  
sa away yung

all of their properties

**[04:56:11.500] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006304)  
refrigerator

**[04:56:13.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006305)  
lahat na

**[04:56:14.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006306)  
sasakyan

**[04:56:14.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006307)  
nalulubog

**[04:56:15.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006308)  
taon-taon

**[04:56:15.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006309)  
so

**[04:56:16.320] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006310)  
barangay San Perfecto

**[04:56:18.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006311)  
so

**[04:56:18.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006312)  
isa na lang yung kulang ko

**[04:56:19.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006313)  
sa San Juan

**[04:56:20.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006314)  
this was done

**[04:56:22.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006315)  
when I'm

**[04:56:22.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006316)  
in company as mayor

**[04:56:24.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006317)  
and congressman

**[04:56:24.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006318)  
that time

**[04:56:25.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006319)  
so

**[04:56:26.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006320)  
So yan, if done right, effective naman yung flood control sa amin at natanggal namin.

**[04:56:32.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-006320-split-2)  
Mr. Chairman, I'm happy to report po that San Perfecto-Batis pumping station is funded in 2027 in the NEP.

**[04:56:41.490] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006320-split-3)  
To the tune of how much?

**[04:56:43.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-006320-split-4)  
150 million po.

**[04:56:44.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006320-split-5)  
Wow, finally.

**[04:56:46.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-006320-split-6)  
It's funded. Nandiyan na po siya

**[04:56:49.030] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006320-split-7)  
kasi tatlong budget season ko hiningi, laging [unclear]. Nandiyan na po siya. Napalitan ng slope protection, drainage improvement; it doesn't help. So at least it will be a big relief to us.

**[04:56:58.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-006320-split-8)  
It will not be removed. Mr. Chairman, nandiyan po yan.

**[04:57:01.750] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-006320-split-9)  
Yung sa dredging and desilting of itong mga San Juan River and other tributaries, Pasig, kasama ba yung 1 billion o private effort lang ito ng San Miguel?

**[04:57:16.530] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-006320-split-10)  
Joint po kami kasi po wala po kaming pondo ngayon for it. We are just really using

**[04:57:21.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-006321)

again marami pong

**[05:11:22.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-007101)

**[05:11:22.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-007102)  
unmitigated asphalt overlay

**[05:11:24.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-007103)

we just have to deal with it

**[05:11:36.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-007114)

pinipunan

**[05:18:21.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007522)  
saka I think

**[05:18:22.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007523)  
yung problema dito

**[05:18:23.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007524)  
yung

**[05:18:27.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007529)  
yung bed

**[05:18:28.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007530)  
kalahati lang

**[05:18:29.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007531)  
dito sa atin

**[05:18:29.980] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007532)  
since kaya na

**[05:18:30.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007533)  
makina

**[05:18:31.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007534)

**[05:18:32.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007535)  
sobrang taas

**[05:18:34.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007536)  
so that really

**[05:18:35.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007537)  
that is really

**[05:18:37.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007538)

**[05:18:37.980] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007539)  
our roads

diba

**[05:18:39.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007541)  
so kailangan

**[05:18:40.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007542)  
maging

**[05:18:40.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007543)  
do we still have

**[05:18:41.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007544)  
the way bridges

**[05:18:42.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007545)  
do they still work

**[05:18:43.600] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007546)  
yes we have

way bridges

**[05:18:44.920] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007548)

**[05:18:46.840] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007550)  
pero konti lang po siya

**[05:18:48.520] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007551)  
like dun sa alignment

**[05:18:49.620] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007552)

madaan ng way bridge

**[05:18:53.680] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007556)

100 tons

**[05:19:00.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007563)

2,000 bridges

**[05:19:12.780] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007573)  
of the 9,000 bridges

**[05:19:14.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007574)  
ilan pa ang

**[05:19:19.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007579)  
for it to be

**[05:19:20.360] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007580)  
due for

**[05:19:21.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007581)  
rehabilitation

**[05:19:22.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007582)  
or retrofitting

**[05:19:23.720] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007583)  
typically we consider

technically

**[05:19:29.160] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007588)  
but an acceptable

period

**[05:19:34.220] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007593)  
so

**[05:19:34.880] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007594)  
depende po sa defects

**[05:19:36.800] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007595)  
mapaprioritize po siya

**[05:19:38.020] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007596)  
for retrofitting

**[05:19:38.880] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007597)  
so if you see

50 po

**[05:19:54.280] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007615)  
it is much better

**[05:19:55.120] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007616)  
to have retrofit

**[05:19:56.060] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007617)  
because

**[05:19:57.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007620)  
so kung 50 years

more than 60%

to replace

**[05:20:13.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007633)  
pero siguro

**[05:20:14.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007634)  
may factor din yun

**[05:20:16.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007635)

pag long span

tsaka short span

**[05:20:18.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007638)  
syempre mas may

**[05:20:19.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007639)  
tension yung

**[05:20:20.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007640)  
long span

**[05:20:21.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007641)  
yung short

**[05:20:22.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007642)  
medyo matibay-tibay

**[05:20:24.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007643)  
I think more than

**[05:20:25.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007644)  
50 years

**[05:20:25.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007645)

wala namang

**[05:20:29.160] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007650)  
coming lifespan

**[05:20:30.060] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007651)  
po talaga

**[05:20:30.660] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007652)  
it is just the

**[05:20:31.480] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007653)  
probability

**[05:20:32.160] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007654)  
ng

**[05:20:32.620] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007655)  
well the earthquake

**[05:20:34.280] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007656)  
po

**[05:20:34.560] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007657)  
pero yung material

**[05:20:35.560] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007658)  
po kasi

**[05:20:36.040] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007659)  
habang tumatagal po

**[05:20:37.180] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007660)  
for the material

**[05:20:37.920] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007661)  
of steel

**[05:20:38.480] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007662)  
fatigue ang kalaban

**[05:20:39.420] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007663)  
ng steel

**[05:20:39.940] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007664)  
so habang kumakarga

**[05:20:40.980] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007665)  
sya ng loads

**[05:20:41.480] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007666)  
through time

**[05:20:42.040] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007667)  
bumabawas yung

**[05:20:43.280] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007668)  
capacity nya

**[05:20:44.080] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007669)  
so definitely

**[05:20:44.980] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007670)  
for long spans

**[05:20:45.840] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007671)  
which are mostly

**[05:20:46.660] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007672)  
comprised of

**[05:20:47.320] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007673)  
steel materials

**[05:20:48.300] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007674)  
nauubos po

**[05:20:49.440] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007675)  
yung fatigue nya

**[05:20:50.320] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007676)  
so bumababa po

**[05:20:51.540] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007677)  
yung capacity

**[05:20:52.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007678)  
so again

**[05:20:53.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007679)  
for the record

**[05:20:53.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007680)  
ilan yung bridges

**[05:20:54.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007681)  
to that are

**[05:20:55.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007682)  
due for

**[05:20:56.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007683)  
replacement

**[05:20:56.680] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007684)  
we have

**[05:20:57.660] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007685)  
2000 bridges

**[05:20:59.420] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007686)  
of the 9000

**[05:21:00.500] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007687)  
that are more than

**[05:21:01.280] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007688)  
50 years

**[05:21:02.060] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007689)  
but some have

**[05:21:02.860] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007690)  
undergone

**[05:21:03.440] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007691)  
some repair

**[05:21:04.540] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007692)  
but we need

**[05:21:05.660] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007693)  
major retrofitting

**[05:21:06.580] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007694)  
because these were

**[05:21:07.560] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007695)  
designed before

**[05:21:08.360] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007696)  
the code

**[05:21:09.040] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007697)

**[05:21:10.320] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007698)  
after the Luzon earthquake

**[05:21:11.380] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007699)  
so seismically

**[05:21:12.360] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007700)  
they need to be

**[05:21:13.680] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007701)  
retrofitted

**[05:21:14.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007702)

**[05:21:37.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007727)  
yung Aquino

**[05:21:39.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007728)

**[05:21:39.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007729)

the secretary earlier

**[05:21:41.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007731)  
and then

**[05:21:42.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007732)  
in Tarlac

**[05:21:43.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007733)  
one day apart

**[05:21:44.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007734)  
nag collapse siya

**[05:21:45.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007735)  
because of

**[05:21:46.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007736)  
just the habagat

**[05:21:48.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007737)  
so

**[05:21:49.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007738)  
40 years old

**[05:21:51.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007739)

yung Aquino bridge

**[05:21:55.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007744)

sa ilalim

**[05:21:58.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-007746)

there is significant

**[05:22:10.880] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-007758)

**[05:28:47.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008146)

**[05:28:49.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008148)

mabawasan ng konti

sabi ko

**[05:28:59.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008156)  
yung NIA

**[05:28:59.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008157)  
should also

**[05:29:00.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008158)  
start also

**[05:29:01.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008159)  
yung mga water

**[05:29:02.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008160)  
retention facilities

**[05:29:04.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008161)  
diba

**[05:29:04.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008162)

irrigation canals

**[05:29:08.160] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008166)  
pero pag tagtuyot

**[05:29:09.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008167)  
wala namang

**[05:29:10.360] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008168)  
umaagos

**[05:29:11.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008169)  
so

**[05:29:11.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008170)  
it's about time

**[05:29:13.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008171)

**[05:29:15.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008175)  
DPWH is now

**[05:29:17.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008176)  
prioritizing

**[05:29:19.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008177)  
itong detention

**[05:29:19.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008178)  
and retention facilities

**[05:29:21.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008179)  
kasi pag tagulan

**[05:29:22.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008180)  
punong-punong

**[05:29:22.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008181)  
tayo ng tubig

**[05:29:23.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008182)  
sobra-sobra

**[05:29:25.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008183)  
pero pag tagtuyo

**[05:29:26.360] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008184)  
wala naman tayong tubig

**[05:29:27.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008185)  
so

**[05:29:28.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008186)  
ayun

**[05:29:30.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008187)  
and I think

**[05:29:31.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008188)  
this

**[05:29:31.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008189)  
this is

**[05:29:32.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008190)  
ano

**[05:29:33.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008191)  
we hit two birds

**[05:29:34.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008192)  
with one stone

**[05:29:35.060] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008193)  
we retain water

**[05:29:36.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008194)  
we mitigate

**[05:29:37.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008195)  
and we have water

**[05:29:38.560] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008196)  
for the dry days

**[05:29:39.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008197)  
diba

**[05:29:39.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008198)  
yun ang mas maganda

**[05:29:40.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008199)  
siyempre

**[05:29:43.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008200)  
nakikisimpitin tayo

**[05:29:44.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008201)  
sa mga taga bulakan

**[05:29:45.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008202)  
at mga taga pampanga

**[05:29:47.040] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008203)  
na lagi na baba

**[05:29:47.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008204)  
so hopefully

**[05:29:48.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008205)  
with

**[05:29:48.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008206)  
with this water

**[05:29:49.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008207)  
detention

**[05:29:50.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008208)  
retention facilities

**[05:29:51.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008209)  
so

**[05:29:51.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008210)  
ano na ito

**[05:29:52.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008211)  
ma-mitigate na natin

**[05:29:54.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008212)  
yung flooding

**[05:29:55.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008213)  
in Central Luzon

**[05:29:56.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008214)  
and then

**[05:29:57.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008215)  
MMDA has

**[05:29:58.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008216)  
um

**[05:30:00.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008217)  
completed a feasibility study

**[05:30:02.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008218)  
covering 39 proposed catchment

**[05:30:03.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008219)  
and nature-based flood mitigation sites

**[05:30:05.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008220)  
across Metro Villegas.

**[05:30:07.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008221)  
DPWH reviewed these sites.

**[05:30:09.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008222)  
Nareview ba natin yung mga sites ito

**[05:30:11.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008223)  
that is being proposed by MMDA?

**[05:30:13.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008224)  
Because they are asking also for

**[05:30:15.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008225)  
parang a few billions

**[05:30:18.360] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008226)  
for water detention facilities.

**[05:30:21.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008227)  
But I know,

**[05:30:22.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008228)  
I would like to ask if DPWH,

**[05:30:24.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008229)  
they have coordinated

**[05:30:25.920] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008230)  
para po sa mga ano.

**[05:30:27.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008231)  
Coordinated naman po ito.

**[05:30:28.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008232)  
And in fact, their consultants

**[05:30:30.280] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008233)  
katulong din po namin

**[05:30:32.640] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008234)  
yung huskoning of the Netherlands.

**[05:30:35.460] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008235)  
So ano po ito?

**[05:30:36.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008236)  
This is very welcome

**[05:30:37.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008237)  
and tulungan nga po kami ng MMDA dito

**[05:30:39.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008238)  
kasi we really need more

**[05:30:41.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008239)  
detention basins here in Metro Manila.

**[05:30:44.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008240)  
Especially dito sa Manila,

**[05:30:46.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008241)  
yung sa Taft, I think,

**[05:30:47.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008242)  
maglalagay.

**[05:30:48.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008243)  
Dapat sa Rizal Memorial yan.

**[05:30:50.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008244)  
And then another one in España.

**[05:30:52.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008245)  
Tama po.

**[05:30:52.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008246)  
Actually, nahingi,

**[05:30:54.100] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008247)  
did the MMDA chair ask,

**[05:30:56.940] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008248)  
requested that

**[05:30:57.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008249)  
when I defended the MMDA budget,

**[05:31:00.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008250)  
kaya lang isa lang yung nabigay.

**[05:31:02.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008251)  
I think yung sa Rizal

**[05:31:03.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008252)  
tsaka sa ano,

**[05:31:04.420] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008253)  
kung kailangan pa,

**[05:31:05.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008254)  
Taft and España,

**[05:31:06.720] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008255)  
ang needed for this.

**[05:31:12.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008256)  
Kailangan po talaga.

**[05:31:13.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008257)  
In fact,

**[05:31:14.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008258)  
ang advice po

**[05:31:14.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008259)  
ng ating mga consultants is

**[05:31:16.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008260)  
any area na pwede natin

**[05:31:19.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008261)  
gawan ng imbaka ng tubig

**[05:31:20.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008262)  
sa Metro Manila,

**[05:31:21.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008263)  
makakatulong po.

**[05:31:24.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008264)  
And then siguro,

**[05:31:25.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008265)  
ay, Seto Bongo is here pala.

**[05:31:26.540] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008266)  
So,

thank you sir for joining us.

**[05:31:29.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008268)  
We have one to ask questions.

**[05:31:30.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008269)  
Pero lak mo siya tatanong.

**[05:31:32.160] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008270)  
And then before I,

**[05:31:33.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008271)  
I,

**[05:31:34.500] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008272)  
I ask Seto Bongo

**[05:31:37.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008273)  
for,

**[05:31:38.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008274)  
he may have some questions.

**[05:31:41.500] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008275)  
And then, ito,

**[05:31:42.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008276)  
talking about

**[05:31:43.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008277)  
LGU Master Plan

**[05:31:44.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008278)  
on Flood Control Management.

**[05:31:46.300] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008279)  
I recommend the move

**[05:31:47.820] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008280)  
of the DPWH

**[05:31:48.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008281)  
or Incorporating Master Plan

**[05:31:50.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008282)  
as part of its stringent requirements

**[05:31:53.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008283)  
in approving flood control projects.

**[05:31:55.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008284)  
I'm just concerned about

**[05:31:56.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008285)  
the possibility

**[05:31:57.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008286)  
if that are,

**[05:31:57.860] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008287)  
LGUs might overlook

**[05:31:59.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008288)  
integrating their master plans

**[05:32:01.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008289)  
with adjacent LGUs.

**[05:32:03.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008290)  
How can DPWH help our LGUs

**[05:32:05.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008291)  
ensuring that their respective

**[05:32:06.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008292)  
master plans on flood control

**[05:32:08.000] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008293)  
will not hamper

**[05:32:09.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008294)  
or worsen flood control efforts

**[05:32:10.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-008295)  
of adjacent local governments?

**[05:32:13.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008296)  
Right now po,

**[05:32:14.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008297)  
there is an ongoing

**[05:32:15.940] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-008298)  
integrated drainage master plan

Hindi lang po yun ang dito sa nasasayang sa flood control.

**[05:45:10.960] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009006)  
Yung 2025 yung concern ko talaga kung sana naman po,

**[05:45:15.260] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009007)  
since nasagot mo na kayo na hindi na siya pwede dahil mag-expire na.

**[05:45:22.660] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009008)  
Anong plano nyo rito? Anong reason kung bakit hindi na-implement?

**[05:45:27.080] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009009)  
Aside from being FLR, may problema ho ba?

**[05:45:40.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009010)  
Mr. Chairman, unang-una po, ang mandate ng Pangulo mismo is tapusin yung mga hindi tapos.

**[05:45:49.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009011)  
So ano po, gagawin po namin ang lahat kahit na po na isauli na dahil sa...

**[05:45:57.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009012)  
National Budget Circular 603 which directed all of national government agencies to return unused funds

**[05:46:04.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009013)  
to finance relief programs under the State of National Energy Emergency.

**[05:46:09.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009014)  
Ang objective pa rin po natin, kunyari po, meron pong mga multi-purpose buildings,

**[05:46:16.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009015)  
halimbawa, na hindi na tapos, mga kalye na hindi na tapos.

**[05:46:20.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009016)  
Yan po ang inatasang ko po ang mga district engineers natin na i-resubmit po para po matapos.

**[05:46:27.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009017)  
Kasi hindi naman po po pwede na nakatenga lang ang mga project na hindi tapos.

**[05:46:32.020] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009018)  
So we will do our best po to finish as fast as possible yung mga nakatenggang project.

**[05:46:36.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009019)  
Baka pwede nyo ma-check rin po ito since appropriated na po ito.

**[05:46:43.160] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009020)  
Pasado na ito sa Kongreso.

**[05:46:45.840] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009021)  
At nasagaan na po ito noong 2025.

**[05:46:49.860] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009022)  
At sa mga lugar rin po na tinamaan po ng Lindol, SecVins,

**[05:46:55.900] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009023)  
baka pwede nyo ma...

**[05:46:57.080] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009024)  
Mabalikan lang po itong mga proyektong ito na...

**[05:47:00.120] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009025)  
Kung sa tingin ninyong mapapakinabangan naman po ng ating mga kababayan.

**[05:47:04.080] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009026)  
Mas alam nyo po yung tatrabaho ninyo sa DPWH kung mapapakinabangan po itong mga proyektong ito.

**[05:47:10.040] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009027)  
Baka maaaring balikan nyo.

**[05:47:12.000] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009028)  
Kasi,

**[05:47:13.320] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009029)  
pagsasakit 2027 ina-approbahan natin,

**[05:47:16.020] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009030)  
and marami pang mga naiiwan ng mga 2025 na unimplemented,

**[05:47:20.900] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009031)  
sayang naman po.

**[05:47:22.760] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009032)  
Marahil ay mapapakinabangan po ito ng mga kababayan natin.

**[05:47:25.600] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009033)  
Kung sa tingin ninyong...

**[05:47:27.080] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009034)  
Magagamit po ito.

**[05:47:28.760] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009035)  
At maayos naman po yung mga proyekto.

**[05:47:31.600] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009036)  
Lalong-lalo na po sa tinamaan ng Lindol sa Mindanao.

**[05:47:34.620] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009037)  
Alam nyo naman po, ilang beses.

**[05:47:36.440] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009038)  
Hanggang ngayon, just recently,

**[05:47:39.200] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009039)  
marami pa rin pong tinatamaan ng Lindol sa Mindanao.

**[05:47:42.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009040)  
We will do this, Mr. Chairman.

**[05:47:44.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009041)  
Makakasa po si Senator.

**[05:47:45.980] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009042)  
Also po, babalikan ko lang,

**[05:47:49.480] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009043)  
itong 6.5 2025 National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund,

**[05:47:57.140] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009044)  
allotted to DPWH,

**[05:47:59.100] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009045)  
3.5 billion remain unobligated or unutilized as of December 2025.

**[05:48:06.520] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009046)  
Bakit po mabagal ang utilization ninyo dito,

**[05:48:09.280] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009047)  
considering po for emergency and rehabilitation po ito.

**[05:48:12.980] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009048)  
At meron lang pong...

**[05:48:15.160] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009049)  
Nakarating sa akin, SecVins.

**[05:48:19.460] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009050)  
Ito pong sa Manay.

**[05:48:22.360] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009051)  
Ito sa Manay, Dabo Rental na pinuntahan nyo po ng Pangulo.

**[05:48:26.340] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009052)  
Diba?

**[05:48:27.080] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009053)  
Ah, siyempre, pagpunta mo ron,

**[05:48:30.460] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009054)  
nangangako po kayo na ito yung may ibababa kayong Quick Response Fund.

**[05:48:37.240] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009055)  
Ayusin yan.

**[05:48:38.120] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009056)  
Pero, baka pwede nyo lang po may...

**[05:48:42.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009057)  
Mr. Chairman, alam ko po,

**[05:48:44.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009058)  
yung sa Manay po at sa mga ibang earthquake hit areas in Davao,

**[05:48:52.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009059)  
specifically Davao Oriental,

**[05:48:54.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009060)  
eh, napaano na po?

**[05:48:57.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009061)  
Napagawa na po ata yun.

**[05:48:59.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009062)  
Hinihintay na lang po namin yung pondo galing sa NDRRMF.

**[05:49:03.760] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009063)  
Pero, yung pong mga unobligated...

**[05:49:09.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009064)  
We will double check po, pero parang na-obligate na po yun.

**[05:49:13.960] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009065)  
Okay, check lang po.

**[05:49:15.120] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009066)  
Baka maabutan na naman ang panibagong lindol.

**[05:49:18.200] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009067)  
Baka, Mami, iwanan mo na yung departamento.

**[05:49:21.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009068)  
Oo nga po. Sana nga po, gano'n na lang.

**[05:49:24.460] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009069)  
Anyway.

**[05:49:24.940] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009070)  
Okay.

**[05:49:25.960] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009071)  
Okay.

**[05:49:27.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009072)  
So, we will check lang po.

**[05:49:27.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009073)  
So, we will check, Mr. Chairman and Senator.

**[05:49:31.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009074)  
I know, you know, we've spoken a lot about this.

**[05:49:34.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009075)  
But, ano po,

**[05:49:35.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009076)  
tama-tama po ako ipapunta po sa Davao region sa Monday.

**[05:49:39.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009077)  
Kakausapin ko po yung regional director.

**[05:49:41.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009078)  
Kasi, in fact, kahit nga po wala pang pondo,

**[05:49:45.320] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009079)  
eh, pinigit na po namin pasimulan yung pagpasaayos nung sa Manay.

**[05:49:49.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009080)  
If you're pertaining po to the hospital or the municipal hall, I think.

**[05:49:54.460] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009081)  
Basta yung mga pinangako nyo po.

**[05:49:56.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009082)  
Opo.

**[05:49:56.360] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009083)  
Pakicheck na lang po.

**[05:49:57.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009084)  
We will double-check po and we will make sure na maayos po.

**[05:50:00.280] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009085)  
Anyway, Sec Beans, as the country experiences a series of typhoons,

**[05:50:05.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009086)  
ito pong earthquake, lalo na itong pagbabaha dito sa Luzon

**[05:50:11.080] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009087)  
that have caused severe and widespread flooding in many areas.

**[05:50:15.480] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009088)  
Ako mismo, pinupuntahan ko talaga yun.

**[05:50:18.020] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009089)  
Mampanga, Bulacan, naawa talaga ako sa Pilipino.

**[05:50:22.380] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009090)  
Alam mo yun, ikaw mismo, hands-on ka eh.

**[05:50:26.360] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009091)  
Isa ka sa hardworking na mga sekretaris.

**[05:50:28.900] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009092)  
Pinupuntahan mo talaga yung mga nababahan.

**[05:50:31.300] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009093)  
Magkasama tayo noon sa pag-iikot.

**[05:50:33.900] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009094)  
At sumisikip yung dibdib mo makita na until now, hindi pa rin nagsusubside yung baha.

**[05:50:41.220] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009095)  
At sumisigaw sila ng tulong, na nangailangan ng tulong.

**[05:50:44.120] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009096)  
Tulungan nyo naman po sila.

**[05:50:45.220] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009097)  
Kayo pong nandyan sa Executive Department,

**[05:50:47.640] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009098)  
pakiuna na lang po na ma-address itong problema ng flooding po.

**[05:50:52.020] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009099)  
Kawawa talaga.

**[05:50:53.520] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009100)  
At yung iba po, naiiwan sa mga evacuation.

**[05:50:56.360] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009101)  
Yung iba po, naiiwan sa mga evacuation centers.

**[05:50:58.580] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009102)  
Yung iba, skwelahan.

**[05:51:01.260] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009103)  
Skwelahan, gym, hindi sila komportable.

**[05:51:03.980] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009104)  
Yung iba, walang maayos na sanitation.

**[05:51:06.700] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009105)  
Marami pong mga pamilya na napipilitang lumikas at nawawala ng tirahan.

**[05:51:11.400] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009106)  
This highlights the urgent need to ensure the safety and welfare of affected communities.

**[05:51:17.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009107)  
At nabanggit po ito ng Pangulo, SecBins, ito pong sa SONA.

**[05:51:21.200] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009108)  
Banggit po ito ni Pangulo, yung mga evacuation center or ito pong ligtas.

**[05:51:26.360] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009109)  
Pinoy Centers Act.

**[05:51:27.960] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009110)  
Bilang principal author at co-sponsor ng batas na ito,

**[05:51:31.280] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009111)  
ito pong Republic Act 12076 or the Ligtas Pinoy Centers Act,

**[05:51:36.080] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009112)  
which mandates the establishment of evacuation centers in every city and municipality nationwide.

**[05:51:44.320] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009113)  
Nais ko lang pong malaman sa DPWH ang estado sa pagpapatayo ng mga evacuation centers sa bansa

**[05:51:49.600] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009114)  
sa 1.2 trillion na budget po sa flood control from 2022 to 2025.

**[05:51:56.360] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009115)  
2025 na alam naman natin na sayang po sa flood control.

**[05:52:01.400] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009116)  
Ang katumbas po nito ay 60,000 evacuation centers na sana pong naipatayo.

**[05:52:07.880] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009117)  
Kung hindi po ito na sayang sa korupsyon o itong sa flood control controversy.

**[05:52:14.580] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009118)  
SecBins, marahil pakisilip naman po na sana mabigyan nyo po ng prioridad itong mga evacuation centers.

**[05:52:22.360] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009119)  
Mapapakinabangan po ito ng mga kababayan natin.

**[05:52:24.320] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009120)  
Batas na po ito eh.

**[05:52:26.360] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009121)  
At nabanggit po ng Pangulo sa kanyang SONA na bibigyan niya po ito ng prioridad.

**[05:52:32.920] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009122)  
At marami po sa budget ng 2025 or 2026 na mga evacuation centers,

**[05:52:39.000] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009123)  
baka ma-recommend nyo na po na magamit, mapakinabangan.

**[05:52:44.820] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009124)  
Gamit na gamit po ito sa mga evacuees.

**[05:52:47.960] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009125)  
Malaking tulong po ito.

**[05:52:48.940] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009126)  
Since batas naman po ito at kayo naman po ang titingin kung ano po yung dapat at pangangailangan ng lugar na yon.

**[05:52:56.360] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009127)  
Under the 2027 budget,

**[05:53:00.160] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009128)  
180 million is allocated for construction of evacuation centers per region or 3 billion in total.

**[05:53:09.980] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009129)  
Saan ho ba ito itatayo, SecBins?

**[05:53:13.640] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009130)  
At maaaring pakisilip na lang din, ibangga nyo na lang po sa data ninyo.

**[05:53:17.060] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009131)  
Maaaring may mga evacuation center or multipurpose building na nasa 2025 at 2026

**[05:53:24.880] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009132)  
para mapakinabangan.

**[05:53:26.360] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009133)  
Mapakinabangan naman po, kaagad.

**[05:53:28.560] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009134)  
Hindi na natin antayin na umabot pa ng 2027.

**[05:53:32.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009135)  
Yes, Mr. Chairman.

**[05:53:34.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009136)  
Actually po, just to update the Honorable Senator,

**[05:53:38.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009137)  
as of end of August this year,

**[05:53:41.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009138)  
464 na po out of the 492 evacuation center projects under Ligtas Pinoy

**[05:53:47.720] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009139)  
ang completed na po, 24 po ang undergoing construction na, ongoing na po,

**[05:53:55.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009140)  
4 po ang reconstruction pa lang at 3 po e unimplementable dahil po at sa area nila.

**[05:54:06.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009141)  
Sa 2027 budget naman po, meron po tayong 3.06 billion na dalawang evacuation centers kada region.

**[05:54:18.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009142)  
Hindi ko lang po masagot pa kung saan ito dahil ang OCD po ang magdedetermine ito.

**[05:54:25.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009143)  
At hindi pa po nila sinasabi sa amin kung ano ang mga locations nito.

**[05:54:29.700] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009144)  
But we will report immediately, Mr. Chairman, kung saan po ito.

**[05:54:33.080] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009145)  
Sana po, mabigyan nyo po ito ng prioridad.

**[05:54:35.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009146)  
We will prioritize, Mr. Chairman. You have our assurances.

**[05:54:38.080] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009147)  
Since batas naman po ito, Sec. Vince, singit ko lang po about health facilities.

**[05:54:45.140] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009148)  
Mr. Chair, kahit na hindi ka pa sekretary nito,

**[05:54:47.760] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009149)  
itong 2024 at 2025 ga mandated DPWH to implement health infrastructure,

**[05:54:55.100] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009150)  
exceeding 5 million under the HPEP.

**[05:55:00.080] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009151)  
Yun po yung nagkaproblema kasi pag more than 5 million,

**[05:55:04.920] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009152)  
ang sinasagot ng DOH ay DPWH ang magtatrabaho.

**[05:55:08.960] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009153)  
So nagkakos po ng delays po ito.

**[05:55:12.860] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009154)  
Sayang naman po itong mga proposed health facilities,

**[05:55:16.860] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009155)  
specially funded in 2025.

**[05:55:20.700] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009156)  
Marami pong mga reports ng delay.

**[05:55:25.100] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009157)  
Sabi ko nga na kung nagtutulungan lang po ang DOH at siyang LGU.

**[05:55:30.320] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009158)  
Marami pong LGU na gustong mapatayuan rin po sila ng mga health facilities nila.

**[05:55:36.040] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009159)  
Ngunit sa delays, 2 to 3 years pa minsan napapatayo.

**[05:55:41.320] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009160)  
Ilang pasyente po sanang pwedeng matulungan.

**[05:55:43.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009161)  
Pakisilip na lang po nito, Sec. Vince.

**[05:55:47.480] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009162)  
Maraming LGUs na gusto pong magkaroon ng sariling health facilities.

**[05:55:51.540] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009163)  
Lalong-lalo na sa mga malalayong lugar.

**[05:55:55.100] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009164)  
Remember, we are more than 7,000 islands sa buong Pilipinas.

**[05:55:58.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009165)  
Maraming mga isla na gusto rin pong magkaroon ng sarili nilang mga super health center or mga health center.

**[05:56:05.460] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009166)  
At yun pong mga reklamo nating naririnig na hindi pa po na-implement

**[05:56:09.920] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009167)  
dahil more than 5 million po itong mga proyekto.

**[05:56:13.220] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009168)  
Sabi ko, pag nagtulungan ng LGU, nagtulungan ng DPWH or ang DOH,

**[05:56:18.560] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009169)  
mapapakinabangan ka agad itong mga proyektong ito.

**[05:56:23.040] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009170)  
And also,

**[05:56:25.100] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009171)  
may answer po ito sa health facilities.

**[05:56:27.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009172)  
In fact po, Mr. Chairman,

**[05:56:29.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009173)  
nakitagpulong po kami very recently with our new Health Secretary,

**[05:56:32.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009174)  
Secretary Edwin Mercado.

**[05:56:34.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009175)  
And we will provide po a catch-up plan

**[05:56:36.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009176)  
for you and the committee po on the health facilities enhancement program.

**[05:56:43.960] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009177)  
Secretary Vince,

**[05:56:44.760] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009178)  
malalala mo na isa ka sa nagtayo nung

**[05:56:51.140] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009179)  
itong sa facility sa Clarksville.

**[05:56:55.400] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009187)  
When you were still the BCDA chairperson.

**[05:56:59.580] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009188)  
At napakaganda po itong naging skwelahan na ngayon.

**[05:57:03.560] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009189)  
Yung pinatayo ng SEA Games na NAS, no?

**[05:57:07.000] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009190)  
Before naging NAS yan, yung pasilidad dyan,

**[05:57:10.640] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009191)  
pinatayo ng BCDA through SecVins.

**[05:57:13.500] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009192)  
Napakaganda po, napapakinabangan,

**[05:57:15.400] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009193)  
and naging number one pa tayo nung 2019 SEA Games.

**[05:57:19.360] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009194)  
Congratulations sa ating lahat.

**[05:57:21.760] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009195)  
At napuntahan ko rin po, napakaganda ng mga pasilidad,

**[05:57:24.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009196)  
napapakinabangan ng mga atleta natin.

**[05:57:26.660] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009197)  
At ngayon, ginawa nating skwelahan,

**[05:57:28.500] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009198)  
ginawa nating batas.

**[05:57:30.120] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009199)  
Isa po ako sa author at ko-sponsor dito.

**[05:57:34.300] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009200)  
Principally sponsored po yun ng Senate President ngayon,

**[05:57:37.140] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009201)  
na si Senator Wyn Gatchal yan.

**[05:57:40.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009202)  
Marami na po mga atletang nakikinabang.

**[05:57:42.600] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009203)  
I hope that DPWH also could consider the repair

**[05:57:45.660] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009204)  
and rehabilitation of sports facilities.

**[05:57:48.540] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009205)  
Yun po ang napapansin ko,

**[05:57:49.700] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009206)  
na lilimutan po yung pagbibigay ng prioridad

**[05:57:53.040] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009207)  
sa ating mga sports facilities.

**[05:57:54.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009208)  
Kaysa mapunta po yung budget sa corruption

**[05:57:58.700] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009209)  
o sa flood control projects sa lugar naman po na walang tao,

**[05:58:02.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009210)  
sana po'y mabigyan niyo rin po ng prioridad

**[05:58:05.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009211)  
itong budget po ng mga sports facilities.

**[05:58:10.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009212)  
Sekwins, tingnan niyong mabuti.

**[05:58:12.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009213)  
Taon-taon, napakaliit po ng ina-appropriate.

**[05:58:15.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009214)  
Kung baga sa pay, sa 7 trillion na pondo po ng gobyerno,

**[05:58:21.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009215)  
parang icing lang yung pondo ng sports facilities.

**[05:58:24.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009216)  
P.S.C.O. ng sports.

**[05:58:27.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009217)  
At sila po'y nagmamakawa na ito,

**[05:58:30.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009218)  
may tulo na yung Philippine Sports Commission,

**[05:58:34.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009219)  
yung dating Ultra, yung Field Sports, yung RMC,

**[05:58:38.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009220)  
Rizal Memorial Complex.

**[05:58:40.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009221)  
Ako nga mismo, bilang chairperson ng sports,

**[05:58:44.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009222)  
isinulong natin noong 2024, 2023,

**[05:58:48.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009223)  
na ma-repair yung RMC, ma-repair yung Field Sports.

**[05:58:52.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009224)  
Habang naglalaro ka,

**[05:58:53.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009225)  
may tulo na minsan.

**[05:58:55.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009226)  
Sana po'y komportable naman po ang ating mga atleta.

**[05:58:58.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009227)  
Sila po nagbibigay sa atin ng karangalan tuwing may mga sporting events sa ating bansa.

**[05:59:03.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009228)  
Katulad ngayon sa Asian Games.

**[05:59:05.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009229)  
Dapat wala pong ibang iniisip ang mga atleta,

**[05:59:08.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009230)  
kundi to focus on their game sa kanilang training.

**[05:59:13.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009231)  
Dapat supportado sila ng gobyerno.

**[05:59:15.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009232)  
Sana naman po, mabigyan niyo po ito ng prioridad.

**[05:59:18.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009233)  
Since isa ka po sa talagang nagpaganda ng atleta,

**[05:59:21.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009234)  
nagpaganda ng New Clark City,

**[05:59:25.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009235)  
o ito pong inyong proyekto sa BCDA.

**[05:59:28.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009236)  
Since nasa DPWH ka, kindly po.

**[05:59:32.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009237)  
Mr. Chairman, actually, tuloy-tuloy po ang supporta namin kay Chairman Gregorio.

**[05:59:38.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009238)  
Yung pong mga repairs natin sa Rizal, sa Ultra,

**[05:59:43.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009239)  
ginagawa po natin yan.

**[05:59:44.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009240)  
Pati po yung mga dormitories ng atletas.

**[05:59:47.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009241)  
Lalo na sa Ultra, napakaganda na po ngayon.

**[05:59:49.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009242)  
Pero tama po kayo.

**[05:59:50.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009243)  
Our athletes need more support.

**[05:59:52.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009244)  
Tututukan din po namin yan sa mga darating na buwan po.

**[05:59:57.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009245)  
Mga gago na po, marami tayo.

**[06:00:00.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009246)  
yung i-host ng mga sporting events in the coming years, in the coming months.

**[06:00:06.300] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009247)  
Coordinated po kami very closely with Chairman Pato

**[06:00:09.360] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009248)  
para po tuloy-tuloy ang paayos natin ng mga facilities.

**[06:00:12.960] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009249)  
Pati yung swimming pool sa UP Mindanao

**[06:00:15.840] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009250)  
or maaari yung soccer field rin po matulungan nyo.

**[06:00:21.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009251)  
May tanong lang po ko, Sec Vins, about itong sa budget ng DPWH.

**[06:00:25.440] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009252)  
Inaasan nyo ba sa PSC yung mga infrastructure

**[06:00:27.700] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009253)  
o meron rin kayo ang nagpapagawa?

**[06:00:32.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009254)  
Ang DBM po for this year, for 2027,

**[06:00:36.620] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009255)  
pinanggal po ng DBM sa DPWH yung mga convergence budgets.

**[06:00:45.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009256)  
So, kagaya po ng pinag-iwanag po kanina,

**[06:00:48.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009257)  
yung sa DOT, yung sa DTI, sa DOTR,

**[06:00:52.960] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009258)  
kasama na rin po yung sa PSC.

**[06:00:54.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009259)  
So, ang ano po nila, ipinasok na po nila yan

**[06:00:57.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009261)  
Sa mother agency, in this case, for sports facilities, sa PSC.

**[06:01:03.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009262)  
Pero tumituri naman po ang aming cooperation ng PSC.

**[06:01:07.120] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009263)  
At kung kakikanganin po nila kami sa DPWH,

**[06:01:10.340] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009264)  
ready po kaming tumulong sa kanila.

**[06:01:12.980] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009265)  
So, ibig sabihin, tinanggal sa inyong.

**[06:01:18.040] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009266)  
Sayang naman.

**[06:01:20.180] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009267)  
Sana manggagaling sa DPWH yung pondo.

**[06:01:24.580] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009268)  
Mapapakinabangan po ng mga atleta natin ito.

**[06:01:27.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009269)  
Anyway, another question na itong sa building code,

**[06:01:34.740] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009270)  
disaster preparedness.

**[06:01:36.660] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009271)  
Mr. Chair, I filed the proposed new building code

**[06:01:39.560] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009272)  
which aims to protect the people's lives

**[06:01:42.640] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009273)  
and mitigate the impact of disasters

**[06:01:44.540] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009274)  
by setting standards and benchmarks

**[06:01:47.480] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009275)  
that all buildings and infrastructures

**[06:01:50.260] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009276)  
must meet with particularly the recommended

**[06:01:53.580] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009277)  
structural stability and integrity

**[06:01:55.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009278)  
designed to withstand disasters

**[06:01:57.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009279)  
and to prevent the spread of natural disasters.

**[06:01:59.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009280)  
Ilang dekada na po nakalipas itong building code natin,

**[06:02:01.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009281)  
o yung national building code.

**[06:02:03.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009282)  
Naipasa po ito noong 1977.

**[06:02:05.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009283)  
Marami na po nagbago sa panahon ngayon

**[06:02:09.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009284)  
at marami na tayong natutunan tungkol sa building safety

**[06:02:11.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009285)  
dahil po sa makabagong teknolohiya or siyensya, rather.

**[06:02:17.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009286)  
Makabagong siyensya.

**[06:02:19.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009287)  
Panahon na po upang pag-aralan natin at pag-a-update po

**[06:02:21.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009288)  
ng national building code.

**[06:02:23.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009289)  
Malaki po ang gagampanan ng DPWH para masiguro na ligtas.

**[06:02:27.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009291)  
Ang ating infrastruktura.

**[06:02:31.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009292)  
Priority nyo ba ito?

**[06:02:37.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009293)  
In fact, meron po kaming current technical working group

**[06:02:41.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009294)  
na nagre-review ng buong building code.

**[06:02:43.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009295)  
Lumang-luma na po ito. Mayigit 20 taon na or

**[06:02:48.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009296)  
50 years na pala. Sorry.

**[06:02:51.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009297)  
50 years na po next year ito.

**[06:02:53.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009298)  
Kaya po dapat na po tagalain.

**[06:02:56.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009299)  
Thank you po, Sen. Bong, for your initiative na talagang i-review na ito.

**[06:03:02.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009300)  
Ang co-chairs po nung aming review committee ay si Undersecretary Conti

**[06:03:07.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009301)  
at si Undersecretary Izquibil for Technical Services.

**[06:03:10.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009302)  
Siguro po, maiksing update lang po kay, from USEC, Conti

**[06:03:15.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009303)  
and then maybe a few updates from USEC, Lara.

**[06:03:18.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009304)  
Thank you, Secretary. Magandang habon po, Sen. Bong Go.

**[06:03:22.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009305)  
Nag-issue po si Secretary Vince ng Special Order No.

**[06:03:24.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009306)  
155.

**[06:03:27.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009307)  
Talaga nga po siya na magkaroon ng review committee.

**[06:03:31.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009308)  
At para sa kaalaman po ng ating kagalanggalang ni Sen. Bong Go,

**[06:03:35.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009309)  
dalawang beses po nagkakaroon ng meeting

**[06:03:38.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009310)  
ang kada buwan ang aming committee.

**[06:03:41.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009311)  
At sa loob po ng dalawang linggo ay matatapos na po namin

**[06:03:44.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009312)  
yung aming mga proposed amendments.

**[06:03:46.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009313)  
Kasama rin po at na-consider po, Sen. Bong Go,

**[06:03:49.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009314)  
yung mga provision po doon sa inyong panukalang batas din po.

**[06:03:52.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009315)  
At target nga po namin next week, first week po ng October,

**[06:03:56.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009316)  
ay ma-finalize na po namin ang resulta ng review committee

**[06:04:01.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009317)  
dahil hinahabol nga po namin, Mr. Chairman, Sen. Bong Go,

**[06:04:05.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009318)  
na by February of 2027, that is the 50th anniversary po

**[06:04:10.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009319)  
ng ating National Building Code.

**[06:04:12.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009320)  
So sana po mahabol ito at who knows, very timely po

**[06:04:16.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009321)  
na ma-firmahan po yung batas sapagkat sinabi naman po ng ating presidente ito nung SONA,

**[06:04:21.680] DPWH Undersecretary Nicasio A. Conti** (asr-009322)  
na itibigyan ng urgent attention po.

**[06:04:25.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009323)  
Salamat po. Tandaan niyo lang yung golden anniversary ng building code

**[06:04:30.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009324)  
para ma-update na po ito.

**[06:04:33.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009325)  
Before my last question, Sec. Vince.

**[06:04:39.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009326)  
Sen. Tom, I think si Usec Lara po. Kasi siya po yung technical director.

**[06:04:47.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009327)  
Siya po yung magaling na engineer na batang bata.

**[06:04:51.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009328)  
Ano po?

**[06:04:52.680] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-009329)  
Sen. We just wanted to say na the Department of Public Works and Highways

**[06:04:57.680] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-009330)  
is working with the Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines

**[06:05:00.680] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-009331)  
and we're updating the National Structural Code of the Philippines.

**[06:05:03.680] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-009332)  
Nandito na po sa DP and it incorporates the updated seismic maps and the wind map.

**[06:05:08.680] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-009333)  
So this is updating with the current conditions po

**[06:05:12.680] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-009334)  
and the higher probability of exceedance po sa ating earthquake and typhoons.

**[06:05:16.680] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-009335)  
So yun po yung malaking tulong po para pag nagde-design po tayo,

**[06:05:20.680] DPWH OIC Undersecretary Lara Marisse I. Esquibil** (asr-009336)  
eh yung mga recorded, highest recorded and yung mga mataas na probability na po ang nakakonsider.

**[06:05:28.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009337)  
Napansin ko talaga Usec, Sec. Vince, sa mga nasira ng lindol.

**[06:05:36.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009338)  
Yun talaga yung mga old structures para hindi na nila kinaya.

**[06:05:43.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009339)  
So doon sa Region 12, nung nakaraang lindol, yun talagang napansin natin.

**[06:05:49.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009340)  
And I'm sure mas alam niyo po yun, lalong-lalo na po yung mga engineer.

**[06:05:53.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009341)  
And before my last question or manifestation,

**[06:05:57.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009342)  
I would also like to raise the seeming inequitable regional allocation of DPWH projects.

**[06:06:05.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009343)  
Napapansin ko po kung saan po nangangailangan ng infrastruktura.

**[06:06:09.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009344)  
Yun po yata yung kukonti ang budget.

**[06:06:12.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009345)  
Hindi dapat puro sa malalaking siyudad lamang po ang proyekto.

**[06:06:15.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009346)  
Pakitsilip niyo lang po ito.

**[06:06:17.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009347)  
Mga probinsya, mga rural communities.

**[06:06:21.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009348)  
Ito pong mga geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.

**[06:06:26.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009349)  
And particularly Mindanao and the Visayas.

**[06:06:31.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009350)  
Sana po magkaroon sila ng fair share of infrastructure investments.

**[06:06:37.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009351)  
Maalala niyo po nun, Sec. Vince, yun pong parating sinasabi ni former President Duterte.

**[06:06:45.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009352)  
Nung kakaupulang niya bilang presidente,

**[06:06:49.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009353)  
meron kasi mga gobernador na meron mga proyektong inaprobohan ng previous administration pa

**[06:06:59.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009354)  
during the time of former President Aquino.

**[06:07:03.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009355)  
So napagtungtong nung panahon ni President Duterte, nung 2016,

**[06:07:07.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009356)  
nag-alala yung mga governor. Sabi nila baka hindi na ipagpatuloy itong mga proyektong ito.

**[06:07:12.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009357)  
Dahil may lugar na talo si President Duterte.

**[06:07:15.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009358)  
Kahit sa Mindanao, alam niyo na po yun.

**[06:07:18.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009359)  
Yung isang tulayo doon na laking tulong po na iikot ka po.

**[06:07:22.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009360)  
Yung pang...

**[06:07:24.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009361)  
How do you call that? Pangil?

**[06:07:26.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009362)  
Pangil or pangil?

**[06:07:28.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009363)  
Pangil.

**[06:07:29.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009364)  
Pangil.

**[06:07:33.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009365)  
Pangil Bay, di ba?

**[06:07:34.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009366)  
Maalala niyo, laking tulong po itong proyektong ito.

**[06:07:38.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009367)  
From 3 hours na iikot ka, Osamis going to Lanao del Norte.

**[06:07:44.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009368)  
Ngayon po, 15 minutes na lang po.

**[06:07:46.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009369)  
So nag-worry yung mga opisyalis noon na baka hindi ipagpatuloy.

**[06:07:50.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009370)  
Sabi ni President Duterte nung 2016. Sabi niya, ipagpatuloy niya lahat.

**[06:07:56.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009371)  
Presidente na ako. Presidente ako ng buong Pilipinas.

**[06:08:00.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009372)  
Dapat pantay-pantay.

**[06:08:02.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009373)  
At pantay-pantay yung distribution ng mga proyekto.

**[06:08:05.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009374)  
From Region 1 to Region 13 hanggang BARM.

**[06:08:11.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009375)  
At siya mismo pinuntahan yan. Even sa Ilocos.

**[06:08:13.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009376)  
Sabi niya, gusto ko pantay-pantay yung mga proyekto.

**[06:08:17.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009377)  
Ang mga binisita natin noon. Sana po'y huwag lang po malimutan rin po ang Mindanao at ang Visayas rin po.

**[06:08:27.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009378)  
At sa BARM, salamat po. Ibig sabihin, huwag mo namang kalimutan doon.

**[06:08:32.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009379)  
In fact, Wins, ha?

**[06:08:33.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009380)  
Oo po. Makakaasa po kayo. In fact, tumaas po ang allocation ng Mindanao to 27.55% of the entire DPWH.

**[06:08:42.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009381)  
At bumaba po ang Luzon. Tumaas po ang Visayas to 20%.

**[06:08:47.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009382)  
At yung mga forest regions, lalo na po yung Region 5, Region 8, Region 13, nagtaasan din po.

**[06:08:55.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009383)  
So, we will strive po to make it more equitable.

**[06:08:58.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009384)  
And makakaasa po kayo. In fact po, next week nga po, papunta po ako ng Region 11 at Region 12, Senator.

**[06:09:06.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009385)  
At yung ating flood mitigation sa barangay sa Talomo sa Dabao.

**[06:09:12.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009386)  
Mukhang marapit na pong matapos yung ginawa natin after the big flood doon po.

**[06:09:19.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009387)  
At sisiguraduin po natin na maayos ang paggagawa at mabilis po natapos.

**[06:09:24.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009388)  
Salamat po, Sec. Wins.

**[06:09:26.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009389)  
Punta ka pala doon? Ano, hindi ka naman nagasabi?

**[06:09:29.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009390)  
Hindi po. Dahil nga po siya nag-statue.

**[06:09:32.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009391)  
Pati po sa Jensen at sa Sarangani.

**[06:09:34.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009392)  
Salamat po. Nakikita naman natin sa inyong pamumuno, very hardworking Secretary.

**[06:09:41.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009393)  
Salamat, Sec. Wins. Sa lahat po ng mga USECs na dito sa inyong team. Sa hardworking team po ng DPWH.

**[06:09:49.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009394)  
Ako naman po ay sumusuporta sa inyong departamento. Umaasa tayo sa ilalim ng inyong pamumuno.

**[06:09:56.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009395)  
Maisasayos po ang programa ng DPWH. Masusug po ang katiwalian at mapanagot po ang dapat managot.

**[06:10:02.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009396)  
Bawat pisong ginagastos, dapat may malinaw na resulta. Kung may proyekto, dapat may kalidad. Importante po ito.

**[06:10:09.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009397)  
Kung may pondo, dapat may napapakinabangan ng taong bayan. At kung may kapabayaan, depekto, delay o anomalya, dapat po merong managot.

**[06:10:19.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009398)  
Suportado po natin ng DPWH sa inyong mga layunin na pagpapaunlad po ng ating bansa.

**[06:10:30.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009399)  
Salamat po sa inyong servisyo sa ating mga kababayan. And make sure lang po na walang masasayang na pondo po ng taong bayan.

**[06:10:38.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009400)  
At walang bahid na ng korupsyon ang mga proyektong inyong inilalaan po para sa taong bayan po.

**[06:10:46.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009401)  
Lalong-lalo na po sa mga mahirap nating kababayan, Sec. Vince, bawat piso po ay napakahalaga po para sa kanila. Salamat po.

**[06:10:53.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009402)  
Maraming salamat po, Sen. At dapat po ang mantra din po ng DPWH, ang bisyo ay magservisyo.

**[06:11:01.680] Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go** (asr-009403)  
Yun naman ang ginagawa mo ngayon.

**[06:11:03.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009404)  
Kagaya niyo po, Sen. Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng support. Thank you po.

**[06:11:08.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009405)  
Okay, thank you, Sen. Bongo. Just to continue, the other, with Steve, alam natin a lot of issues and concerns.

**[06:11:15.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009406)  
But we will just forward the questions to you to answer. And please prepare to answer them sa mga cue cards because we want to be prepared for the plenary debates.

**[06:11:27.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009407)  
Because a lot of our senators, may mga senators that didn't join us, they might ask it during the plenary.

**[06:11:33.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009408)  
So yung mga i-forward namin sa inyo.

**[06:11:35.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009409)  
Now we have some...

**[06:11:38.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009410)  
Things about budget utilization, the usual.

**[06:11:40.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009411)  
COA audit observations, meron tayong mga COA audit observations.

**[06:11:45.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009412)  
And of course, last but not the least, is transparency.

**[06:11:51.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009413)  
So we will just forward all of these concerns to the department.

**[06:11:55.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009414)  
And please prepare for this.

**[06:11:57.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009415)  
Two more concerns, Secretary. Thank you very much for your indulgence.

**[06:12:01.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009416)  
Alam ko magkasunod kayo from the House hearings last night.

**[06:12:06.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009417)  
House plenary po ako po.

**[06:12:07.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009418)  
House plenary. And then ngayon yung magkasunod.

**[06:12:12.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009419)  
So yung house plenary, how long did it take?

**[06:12:15.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009420)  
Mga 3 hours mahigit po.

**[06:12:17.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009421)  
Ah, not bad ah.

**[06:12:18.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009422)  
More, more.

**[06:12:19.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009423)  
3 hours. Mukhang anong, mukhang mabait sila sa iyo.

**[06:12:24.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009424)  
Hindi po. Mukhang napagod na po sa iba po.

**[06:12:29.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009425)  
Anyway, siguro two more issues, Sec, no?

**[06:12:34.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009426)  
In the House, during the House hearing, we heard that shortage of project engineers of DPWH is a problem.

**[06:12:42.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009427)  
Ayon sa inyo, may project engineers na umabot sa 30 projects ang hinahandle na dapat ideally ay 7, no?

**[06:12:49.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009428)  
Per project per engineer.

**[06:12:51.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009429)  
Kaya kita tama ba sinabi niyo na may cases na ganoon na 30 instead of the ideal 7?

**[06:12:57.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009430)  
So how widespread is the problem with that?

**[06:12:59.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009431)  
It is a big problem, Mr. Chairman.

**[06:13:02.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009432)  
It is a major problem.

**[06:13:03.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009433)  
And it really affects the ability to implement, no?

**[06:13:10.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009434)  
And to monitor the projects, no?

**[06:13:12.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009435)  
Kaya nga po, ito pong budget natin ngayon.

**[06:13:16.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009436)  
Kung maaaragan niyo po yung ating slide, no?

**[06:13:20.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009437)  
Maybe we can flash it again just for emphasis.

**[06:13:23.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009438)  
Dati po ang number of projects per year ng DPWH ay hindi po bumababa ng 20,000.

**[06:13:30.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009439)  
More than 20,000.

**[06:13:31.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009440)  
In fact, in 2024 and 2025,

**[06:13:33.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009441)  
it was more than 25,000.

**[06:13:36.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009442)  
25,000, no?

**[06:13:37.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009443)  
Opo.

**[06:13:38.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009444)  
So now we have 11,000 power engineers properly supervised and monitored.

**[06:13:44.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009445)  
Yun ang problema.

**[06:13:45.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009446)  
Opo, kasi po talagang kailangan po talaga maaibaba natin yung dami ng proyekto na hinahandle ng mga project engineers at maintenance engineers.

**[06:13:55.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009447)  
Kasi po, ano po eh, makukompromiso po talaga ang trabaho at ang monitoring.

**[06:14:01.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009448)  
Yung quality rin.

**[06:14:02.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009449)  
Opo.

**[06:14:03.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009450)  
Ito po.

**[06:14:04.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009451)  
Sir Chairman, no?

**[06:14:05.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009452)  
So, we would like to really request, and actually we have repeatedly been requesting the DBM for additional plantilla positions.

**[06:14:16.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009453)  
But ngayon po, dahil nga hindi mapigyan ng additional plantilla, we are forced to do job orders na lang po sa mga kamukha po.

**[06:14:25.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009454)  
Imbawa, yung ating massive hiring sa mga schools, hindi po talaga tayo makapagpodo ng hiring.

**[06:14:30.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009455)  
Kasi nga po.

**[06:14:31.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009456)  
So, wala pong mga plantilla.

**[06:14:34.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009457)  
Kaya po, napipigitan na lang po na mag-job order tayo.

**[06:14:38.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009458)  
At yung mga iba naman po, siyempre, yung mga engineers natin na bagong pasa ng board, ayaw naman po nila na job order lang sila.

**[06:14:48.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009459)  
So, hirap po kami, Mr. Chairman, dito.

**[06:14:51.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009460)  
Aaminin ko po, it's a very big problem that we have to face.

**[06:14:55.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009461)  
Kaya nga po, ang ginawa na lang namin, binaba na lang po namin talagang as much as...

**[06:15:00.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009463)  
we can yung number of projects.

**[06:15:02.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009464)  
At makikita nyo naman po,

**[06:15:03.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009465)  
napakagaki po ng diferensya.

**[06:15:06.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009466)  
Thank you po, Mr. Chairman,

**[06:15:08.040] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009467)  
for helping us out here.

**[06:15:10.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009468)  
How many do you

**[06:15:12.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009469)  
plan to hire in case

**[06:15:14.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009470)  
para at least alam na natin we can

**[06:15:15.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009471)  
prepare for this?

**[06:15:18.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009472)  
How many at present and then how

**[06:15:20.020] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009473)  
many project engineers do you plan to hire?

**[06:15:27.240] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009474)  
We have

**[06:15:27.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009475)  
2,000 vacancies po ngayon.

**[06:15:29.840] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009476)  
Madami po.

**[06:15:31.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009477)  
We are trying

**[06:15:32.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009478)  
to fill them up

**[06:15:35.980] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009479)  
as fast as we can.

**[06:15:37.780] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009480)  
Pero yun nga po, kurang po ng

**[06:15:39.200] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009481)  
plantilla positions,

**[06:15:42.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009482)  
Mr. Chairman.

**[06:15:47.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009483)  
How can one engineer properly inspect

**[06:15:49.880] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009484)  
quality of materials kung talaga yung

**[06:15:51.980] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009485)  
kulang kung marami siya inahandle?

**[06:15:54.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009486)  
So that's our...

**[06:15:56.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009487)  
Of course, napekton din

**[06:15:57.980] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009488)  
yung operation ng regional

**[06:15:59.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009489)  
office nyo.

**[06:16:00.840] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009490)  
Because I read in an article that

**[06:16:03.180] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009491)  
8 of your regional directors were relieved.

**[06:16:05.760] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009492)  
So is this part of the reforms?

**[06:16:07.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009493)  
Opo. Kasama po ito.

**[06:16:09.880] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009494)  
Meron po tayong one-strike policy,

**[06:16:11.660] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009495)  
Mr. Chairman, sa DPWH.

**[06:16:13.920] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009496)  
Kapag meron pong mga

**[06:16:14.900] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009497)  
district engineer, regional director,

**[06:16:17.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009498)  
na hindi ginagawa yung trabaho nila ng tama

**[06:16:19.520] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009499)  
or meron pong reports of corruption,

**[06:16:22.380] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009500)  
immediate po ang pag-

**[06:16:23.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009501)  
tatanggal natin at iniimbestigan po agad.

**[06:16:27.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009502)  
We can give you a list,

**[06:16:28.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009503)  
Mr. Chairman.

**[06:16:29.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009504)  
Of all the ones that we have replaced

**[06:16:32.140] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009505)  
and all the ones that we have

**[06:16:33.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009506)  
put under suspension, Mr. Chairman.

**[06:16:36.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009507)  
Okay. Thank you.

**[06:16:38.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009508)  
Next is yung pong congressional

**[06:16:40.160] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009509)  
amendments. May mga reforma tayong

**[06:16:41.780] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009510)  
kinapatupad, no? And DPWH and both.

**[06:16:44.380] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009511)  
DPWH and your Senate

**[06:16:45.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009512)

instituting reforms.

**[06:16:50.200] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009514)  
We're hoping for a more

stringent

**[06:16:53.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009516)  
vetting for infrastructure projects

**[06:16:56.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009517)  
sa ilalim ng 2027

**[06:16:58.160] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009518)  
NEP, no?

**[06:16:59.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009519)  
Pinosuportan din ang reformang ito.

**[06:17:01.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009520)  
May recommend din natin ang parehong standards

So, makakasa naman kami,

Make sure that it will go through the

**[06:17:26.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009532)  
vetting process,

**[06:17:28.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009533)  
no, Secretary?

**[06:17:29.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009534)  
Kahit nagaling po sa Senado, kinakailangan

**[06:17:31.980] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009535)  
may mga good intervention, but we

**[06:18:06.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009553)  
Thank you, Secretary. At this point,

**[06:18:08.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009554)  
Senator Joel Villanueva is here.

**[06:18:10.440] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009555)  
I know that he is also

**[06:18:11.980] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009556)  
chairing the budget

**[06:18:14.260] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009557)  
of the CHED and SUCs.

**[06:18:16.680] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009558)  
But thank you, sir, for your concerns.

**[06:18:18.620] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009559)  
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will not

**[06:18:20.240] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009560)  
take long.

**[06:18:22.660] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009561)  
I can't believe, Mr. Chairman,

**[06:18:24.500] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009562)  
what kind of schedule

**[06:18:26.560] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009563)  
we have today. We had three committee

**[06:18:28.420] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009564)  
hearings in the Commission.

**[06:18:29.580] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009565)  
We had a commission on appointments

**[06:18:30.420] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009566)  
plus plenary session in the

**[06:18:32.260] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009567)  
Commission on Appointments.

**[06:18:34.620] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009568)  
I'm having the budget of

**[06:18:36.420] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009569)  
SUCs and CHED on the other

**[06:18:38.660] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009570)  
room. But I cannot

**[06:18:40.300] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009571)  
let this day

**[06:18:43.740] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009572)  
pass without

**[06:18:44.460] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009573)  
congratulating our DPWH

**[06:18:47.260] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009574)  
family headed by

**[06:18:48.360] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009575)  
Secretary Vince Dizon. I just

**[06:18:50.620] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009576)  
want to put on record, Mr. President,

**[06:18:53.000] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009577)  
Mr. Chairman, since

**[06:18:54.580] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009578)  
Sec. Vince joined the

**[06:18:56.600] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009579)  
DPWH, it became very

**[06:18:59.580] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009580)  
easy for

**[06:19:01.720] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009581)  
all of us to coordinate what's been

**[06:19:03.580] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009582)  
going on. In this particular

**[06:19:05.520] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009583)  
room, Mr. Chairman,

**[06:19:07.360] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009584)  
I cannot anymore count

**[06:19:09.520] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009585)  
how many times I mentioned

**[06:19:11.660] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009586)  
the problem of

**[06:19:13.420] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009587)  
DPWH, particularly

**[06:19:15.380] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009588)  
the flood control programs.

**[06:19:18.200] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009589)  
Every year.

**[06:19:19.760] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009590)  
Every year.

**[06:19:21.180] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009591)  
You were there,

**[06:19:23.820] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009592)  
Mr. Chairman, every single year.

**[06:19:25.560] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009593)  
In fact, when

**[06:19:26.760] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009594)  
Secretary Vince

**[06:19:28.020] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009595)  
accepted

**[06:19:31.020] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009596)  
this biggest

**[06:19:33.480] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009597)  
challenging post in the

**[06:19:35.540] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009598)  
DPWH, he made mention about it,

**[06:19:37.780] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009599)  
Mr. Chairman, and I

**[06:19:39.200] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009600)  
thank him for that and I appreciate all his

**[06:19:41.440] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009601)  
efforts. It's just that we wanted

**[06:19:43.460] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009602)  
to put on record, even in the

**[06:19:45.600] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009603)  
I think last two or three weeks

**[06:19:47.640] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009604)  
ago, two weeks ago, when I called

**[06:19:49.260] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009605)  
Sec. Vince about the problem in Hagonoy

**[06:19:51.760] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009606)  
and some parts of Bulacan,

**[06:19:53.580] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009607)  
and he was there, Mr.

**[06:19:55.640] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009608)  
Chairman, right away, the next day, may action

**[06:19:57.820] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009609)  
we immediately saw and

**[06:19:59.820] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009610)  
got. I didn't just

**[06:20:01.460] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009611)  
go there last time, Mr. Chairman,

**[06:20:03.660] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009612)  
the budget deliberation of DOTR,

**[06:20:05.740] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009613)  
I failed to raise the

**[06:20:07.680] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009614)  
problem of the

**[06:20:09.660] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009615)  
railway there

**[06:20:11.620] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009616)  
where the

**[06:20:13.180] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009617)  
MacArthur Highway,

**[06:20:15.960] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009618)  
the floodway,

**[06:20:17.700] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009619)  
was blocked and blocked.

**[06:20:19.320] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009620)  
I was able to mention this to

**[06:20:21.640] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009621)  
Secretary Vince. I just want to put that on record,

**[06:20:23.900] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009622)  
Mr. Chair, because the Bible says,

**[06:20:25.440] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009623)  
give honor to whom honor is due.

**[06:20:26.940] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009624)  
I'm just thankful na Secretary Vince

**[06:20:29.140] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009625)  
is at the helm of

**[06:20:30.700] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009626)  
DPWH. I hope that he

**[06:20:33.280] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009627)  
stays there longer

**[06:20:35.000] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009628)  
and healthier kasi

**[06:20:36.820] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009629)  
nag-iba na yung itsura ni Sec. Vince

**[06:20:38.780] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009630)  
at

**[06:20:39.980] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009631)  
Sabi ko, nag-iba na yung itsura ni Sec. Vince

**[06:20:45.260] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009632)  
at buti na lang may

**[06:20:47.040] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009633)  
porch na mag-anniversary

**[06:20:48.960] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009634)  
ng third anniversary. Sana

**[06:20:51.040] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009635)  
ma-invite kami ni Chairman JB

**[06:20:53.120] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009636)  
at Senator Bong. But you know,

**[06:20:55.060] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009637)  
I just want to put that on record, Mr. Chairman,

**[06:20:56.940] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009638)  
and siguro yung one last thing na sasabihin

**[06:20:59.080] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009639)  
ko lang because as mentioned

**[06:21:00.940] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009640)  
earlier, we have been

**[06:21:03.020] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009641)  
very consistent with our

**[06:21:05.040] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009642)  
trust

**[06:21:06.840] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009643)  
and advocacies here in the

**[06:21:08.920] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009644)  
Senate, specifically

**[06:21:10.280] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009645)  
for flood control programs

**[06:21:13.100] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009646)  
in my beloved

**[06:21:14.200] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009647)  
province of Bulacan.

**[06:21:17.000] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009648)  
Records will bail me out.

**[06:21:18.720] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009649)  
Everything that I have mentioned here,

**[06:21:20.920] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009650)  
alam din niya, Secretary Vince.

**[06:21:22.980] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009651)  
And sana po,

**[06:21:24.300] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009652)  
I know that

**[06:21:26.940] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009653)  
the Secretary, the good Secretary, made the

**[06:21:28.900] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009654)  
presentation with the mayors

**[06:21:31.020] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009655)  
of our beloved province

**[06:21:32.800] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009656)  
and the other officials

**[06:21:34.680] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009657)  
present. Sana mabigyan

**[06:21:37.300] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009658)  
din ho kami ng

**[06:21:38.120] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009659)  
updates on this particular

**[06:21:42.800] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009660)  
program because

**[06:21:44.780] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009661)  
I will say it for the

**[06:21:47.080] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009662)  
end time, Mr. Chairman,

**[06:21:49.020] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009663)  
hindi talaga po pwede yung basta-basta

**[06:21:51.220] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009664)  
flood control program

**[06:21:53.240] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009665)  
na hindi integrated,

**[06:21:55.040] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009666)  
hindi po konkreto na program.

**[06:21:56.940] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009667)  
And again, I will say it

**[06:21:58.980] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009668)  
again, when I was here, I made

**[06:22:00.780] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009669)  
mention about the importance of having

**[06:22:02.780] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009670)  
a program based on scientific

**[06:22:04.800] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009671)  
research, etc. And that's why

**[06:22:06.860] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009672)  
during that time, the DPWH

**[06:22:09.020] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009673)  
asked me to

**[06:22:10.440] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009674)  
fund their

**[06:22:12.440] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009675)  
their, what do you call that?

**[06:22:16.500] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009676)  
feasibility

**[06:22:17.100] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009677)  
study. And when I

**[06:22:18.980] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009678)  
funded the feasibility study, a

**[06:22:20.920] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009679)  
year after I followed it up, the DPWH

**[06:22:23.180] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009680)  
official said, it's not

**[06:22:25.060] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009681)  
done yet and we need another year.

**[06:22:26.940] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009682)  
So it took them two years, Mr. President,

**[06:22:28.920] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009683)  
Mr. Chairman. After two years, I asked

**[06:22:30.960] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009684)  
again, if it's being implemented, hindi

**[06:22:32.980] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009685)  
pa rin po. Three, four years later

**[06:22:34.960] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009686)  
when I asked, bakit hindi

**[06:22:36.800] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009687)  
ini-implement? Kasi daw, hindi na

**[06:22:38.880] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009688)  
daw po timely

**[06:22:41.160] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009689)  
yung

**[06:22:42.380] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009690)  
pinonduhan ni Senator Villanueva

**[06:22:45.060] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009691)  
na integrated

**[06:22:46.080] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009692)  
feasibility study.

**[06:22:48.600] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009693)  
I will never claim

**[06:22:50.780] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009694)  
I am an expert in flood

**[06:22:52.740] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009695)  
control programs or in any

**[06:22:54.660] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009696)  
areas as to how we'll

**[06:22:56.740] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009697)  
be able to address this problem.

**[06:22:58.700] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009698)  
But I have been very supportive

**[06:23:00.200] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009699)  
and knowing, Mr. Chairman,

**[06:23:03.440] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009700)  
na yung sasabihin

**[06:23:04.760] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009701)  
ng DPWH, yung pinag-aralan nila,

**[06:23:07.000] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009702)  
sinusuportahan ko po lagi. And records

**[06:23:08.820] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009703)  
will bail me out for the past

**[06:23:10.100] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009704)  
10 years of being a senator.

**[06:23:12.980] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009705)  
Two years na lang po, tapos na yung termino

**[06:23:14.880] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009706)  
ko dito sa Senado. Ang tanging mithiin

**[06:23:16.780] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009707)  
ko lang para sa aming minamahal na

**[06:23:18.560] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009708)  
probinsya, magkaroon na po.

**[06:23:20.760] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009709)  
Hindi ko iniisip na talagang

**[06:23:22.940] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009710)  
matatapos ito in two years.

**[06:23:25.040] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009711)  
Pero sana naman po, totoong

**[06:23:26.740] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009712)  
flood control program na

**[06:23:28.780] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009713)  
yung magagawa ho natin. And again,

**[06:23:31.020] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009714)  
I'm giving my full support to

**[06:23:32.940] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009715)  
the leadership of Secretary Vince Dizon

**[06:23:34.820] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009716)  
and full support to the

**[06:23:37.100] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009717)  
budget of the

**[06:23:38.940] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009718)  
DPWH. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

**[06:23:41.320] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009719)  
And again, thank you to DPWH

**[06:23:42.960] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009720)  
family headed by Secretary Vince. Thank you.

**[06:23:45.460] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009721)  
Thank you, Sen. Joel.

**[06:23:46.820] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009722)  
Mr. Chairman,

unang-una po, nagpapasalamat

kay Sen. Bong Go. Especially

**[06:23:55.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009726)  
po kay Sen. Joel Villanueva.

**[06:23:56.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009727)  
Sabihin ko lang po na

**[06:23:58.580] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009728)  
maraking bagay po sa akin

**[06:24:01.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009729)  
nung ako'y

**[06:24:02.080] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009730)  
na-appoint sa DPWH

**[06:24:05.160] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009731)  
Secretary last year.

**[06:24:07.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009732)  
Ang isa po sa mga unang-una po

**[06:24:09.060] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009733)  
na umawag po sa akin ay si

**[06:24:11.000] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009734)  
Sen. Joel. At

tulungan ang Bulacan.

**[06:24:19.260] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009738)  
Kasi po, he has been

**[06:24:20.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009739)  
I think the most vocal

**[06:24:22.680] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009740)  
having done

**[06:24:25.180] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009741)  
from Bulacan

**[06:24:27.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009742)  
especially in the

**[06:24:29.420] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009743)  
areas na talagang grabe po

**[06:24:31.500] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009744)  
ang baha. Talaga pong

ayusin at tulungan yung mga kababayan

**[06:24:37.540] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009747)  
natin sa Bulacan. At hindi ko po

**[06:24:39.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009748)  
makakalimutan yun. At talagang

**[06:24:41.400] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009749)  
pinagraban po talaga niya

**[06:24:42.740] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009750)  
ang mga kababayan natin sa Bulacan.

**[06:24:46.480] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009751)  
And I just want

We're not only, the three of us, we're not only

**[06:26:26.840] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009799)  
members of the Commission on Appointments, but we're also

**[06:26:28.960] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009800)  
members of the

**[06:26:30.640] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009801)  
impeachment

**[06:26:33.000] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009802)  
proceedings as Senator

**[06:26:34.760] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009803)  
Judges. We are all,

**[06:26:36.960] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009804)  
well, our Chairman and then

**[06:26:38.860] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009805)  
we're both Vice Chairpersons of

**[06:26:40.720] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009806)  
the Senate Committee on Finance. So we also

**[06:26:42.900] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009807)  
conduct budget hearings

**[06:26:44.980] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009808)  
and all. But let me again

**[06:26:46.640] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009809)  
thank Secretary Vince and

**[06:26:48.360] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009810)  
on the record lang,

**[06:26:51.100] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009811)  
Mr. Chairman, wanted to point out and I

**[06:26:52.840] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009812)  
pointed this out to Secretary Vince.

**[06:26:55.060] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009813)  
The two barangays in

**[06:26:56.720] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009814)  
Hagonoy, the two barangays in

**[06:26:58.740] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009815)  
Paumbong, na ang number one

**[06:27:01.140] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009816)  
problem nila ngayon ay hindi na po baha

**[06:27:02.940] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009817)  
kung hindi mawawala na po sila

**[06:27:04.960] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009818)  
sa mapa dahil even before

**[06:27:07.080] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009819)  
this flood control fiasco

**[06:27:09.340] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009820)  
came around,

**[06:27:11.120] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009821)  
Mr. Chairman, meron na pong

**[06:27:12.880] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009822)  
nakapondo supposed to be na

**[06:27:14.800] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009823)  
seawall at

**[06:27:16.180] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009824)  
flood control programs dun sa kanilang

**[06:27:18.960] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009825)  
lugar until sumabog po itong

**[06:27:20.820] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009826)  
issue na ito. Hindi na po napondohan.

**[06:27:22.920] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009827)  
So medyo hindi rin ako

**[06:27:24.760] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009828)  
agreed dun, Mr. Chairman,

**[06:27:26.440] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009829)  
na Secretary Vince, kasi parang sinabi na

**[06:27:28.760] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009830)  
dahil ang apoy nakakasunog,

**[06:27:30.960] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009831)  
huwag na lang tayong magluto, mamatay

**[06:27:32.800] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009832)  
na lang tayong lahat sa gutom. So yun yung

**[06:27:34.640] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009833)  
nangyari po nung mga nakaraan.

**[06:27:36.840] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009834)  
Yung mga tama, maayos na

**[06:27:38.620] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009835)  
programa, hindi na po na ituloy.

**[06:27:41.260] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009836)  
So yun ho, inilapit ko

**[06:27:42.860] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009837)  
na rin ito kay Secretary Vince, Mr. Chairman.

**[06:27:45.400] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009838)  
Dalawang barangay sa

**[06:27:46.560] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009839)  
Paumbong, dalawang barangay sa Hagonoy.

**[06:27:49.300] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009840)  
Ang problema nila ngayon,

**[06:27:50.800] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009841)  
unti-unti nang kinakain ng dagat

**[06:27:53.340] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009842)  
yung kanilang barangay.

**[06:27:54.760] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009843)  
Dun sa Hagonoy alone, you're talking about

**[06:27:56.900] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009844)  
6,000 na population

**[06:27:59.120] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009845)  
dun sa barangay.

**[06:28:01.160] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009846)  
So I hope na

**[06:28:02.440] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009847)  
we can do something about it and

**[06:28:04.440] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009848)  
now, this coming year,

**[06:28:06.780] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009849)  
talagang mahigpit na

**[06:28:08.440] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009850)  
binabantayan ng ating Secretary, ng ating

**[06:28:10.600] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009851)  
pamahalaan through, of course, our

**[06:28:12.820] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009852)  
President himself. Talagang

**[06:28:14.940] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009853)  
all eyes, all ears siya dito

**[06:28:16.840] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009854)  
sa pagpapatupad

**[06:28:19.200] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009855)  
ng mga proyekto, makabuluhang proyekto

**[06:28:21.240] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009856)  
para i-address itong problema ng baha.

**[06:28:23.140] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009857)  
And malaki din po

**[06:28:25.160] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009858)  
yung aking pananalig,

**[06:28:27.620] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009859)  
Mr. Chairman, that

**[06:28:28.740] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009860)  
this will be addressed and that

**[06:28:31.080] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009861)  
may kababayans in Bulacan, specifically

**[06:28:33.060] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009862)  
itong Paumbong at Hagonoy,

**[06:28:35.260] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009863)  
talagang huwag naman

**[06:28:37.020] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009864)  
natin na pabayaan

**[06:28:39.160] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009865)  
sila kasi mahirap

**[06:28:40.960] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009866)  
tag-iisa yung mga barangay nila.

**[06:28:43.040] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009867)  
Siyempre, mahal na mahal po natin yun

**[06:28:44.940] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009868)  
at gusto natin na ma-preserve yung

**[06:28:46.960] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009869)  
barangay at hindi makain ng dagat.

**[06:28:49.040] Senator Joel Villanueva** (asr-009870)  
Salamat po, muli. Thank you.

**[06:28:50.220] DPWH Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon** (asr-009871)  
Mr. Chairman, pwede nga po, may update nga po ako

Masikip ba yung ating

I would like,

**[06:31:20.600] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009973)  
I'd like to discuss

yung special provision

**[06:31:22.480] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009975)

yung mga unplanned calamity.

**[06:31:41.740] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009984)  
Tapos, kinakailangan talaga

**[06:31:43.700] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009985)  
ng pondo.

**[06:31:44.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009986)  
So, naintindihan natin

**[06:31:44.960] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009987)

kung saan yung,

**[06:31:48.140] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009990)  
but that means,

**[06:31:49.620] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009991)  
these are infrastructures

**[06:31:50.640] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009992)  
that need immediate repairs

**[06:31:52.360] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009993)  
kasi economically,

**[06:31:53.660] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009994)  
nakaka-apekto sila,

**[06:31:56.120] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009995)  
yung trade,

**[06:31:56.900] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-009996)

and,

**[06:32:26.580] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-010018)  
and unexpected

**[06:32:29.520] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-010019)  
na kinakailangan natin

**[06:32:31.400] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-010020)

**[06:32:32.240] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-010021)  
yung mga fallen,

**[06:32:33.280] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-010022)  
collapsed bridges,

**[06:32:35.500] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-010023)  
yung mga slippage,

**[06:32:37.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-010024)  
and et cetera.

**[06:32:38.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-010025)  
So, ito yung mga

usually sa calamity.

**[06:32:42.340] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-010027)  
So, tulad nyo,

**[06:32:43.080] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-010028)  
nakita ko yung iba doon,

**[06:32:44.800] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-010029)

sa General Santos,

**[06:32:48.160] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-010033)

one billion,

**[06:32:49.220] Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito** (asr-010035)
