00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:59,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I want this to be as interactive as possible. So, uh while there are no other senators here yet, we let you proceed with your presentations. Um and then ideally, unless the senators are in a big hurry, um uh I want you to be able to finish your presentations first. No, uh, I also want you to to be mindful of your health. So you are always free to stand up and go to the restro. You are free to

Um they're just they're just uh one or two or three main speakers and if I look for you and you went to the bathroom that's not an issue. Um sitting is the new smoking. So also feel free to stand up. Hopefully we won't be here that long but um you are more than welcome to stand up and uh take a quick break from sitting. Um

So you have um glass uh bought uh um glass glasses for your for your drinking water and uh we have a a page who or a waiter who will refill it for you. So wala pa rin yung salamin ko. So anyway sige let's do this. Um welcome everyone to uh the subcommittee of the committee on finance hearing today. Welcome to the entire

4
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:29,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: DICT uh team and the attached agencies. Uh on the agenda today is the propos budget for fiscal year 2027 uh national expenditure program of the DICT and attached agencies. So before we proceed I'd like to acknowledge some significant developments uh on the part of the legislative. We passed the e-governance act in uh a year

5
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:59,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ago. This seeks to make government services more accessible, integrated and responsible through digital platforms and konektadong Pinoy Act which aims to expand internet access, promote competition, improve the quality and affordability of connectivity throughout the country. uh also last year these two laws were sponsored by Senator Alan Caitano. At the same time there remain several issues that we need to examine closely as we consider the 2027 budget particularly on cyber security, data

6
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:29,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: privacy, online scams, cyber crime and the protection of children and other vulnerable groups from online harm. Children can be profiled and targeted online where mind conditioning is used to carry out real world harms. Gaming and messaging platforms can be exploited to reach vulnerable young people. I would therefore like to know whether the proposed budgets of the DICT, CICC, NPC, and NTC provide them with sufficient resources, personal technology and capacity to respond effectively to these

7
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:59,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: threats. I also want to uh make sure that we are mindful of our commitments under the sustainable development goals. This is not just we cannot take isolation. um our access to all the programs and um uh implementation of the laws we are passing the budgets that we're now going to be providing you will affect SDG3 on

8
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:29,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: good health and wellbeing, SDG4 on quality education, SDG5 on gender equality, SDG8 on decent work and economic growth, SDG9 on industry, innovation and infrastructure, SDG10 on reduced inequalities, SDG11 on sustainable CI and commun and SDG 17 on participation for the goals. So when we discuss the DCT budget today, I hope we do not look at technology and isolation. Every peso we allocate to the

9
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:59,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: sector has implications for the educational system, the health care uh system, our economy, public safety, government efficiency and the daily lives of Filipinos. So we also want to ensure that um our expanded digital access uh is within the confines of a safe environment. We want to see continued reporting and um clear programs uh to identify online scams, identity theft, data breaches, cyber attacks, disinformation, online sexual

10
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:29,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: abuse and exploitation of children and all other forms of cyber crimes. We also want to include in the discussion and the preparation of the budget uh the rise of the use of artificial intelligence which we know can help improve government services and productivity but must also be used to create but are also used and we should be mindful that they are used to create deep fake spread thisinformation commit

11
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:59,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: fraud and exploit vulnerable individual so we should have uh safeguards in place for this so um on that note We will hear from DIC. I understand that the secretary is in Malakan. So you will be the one to present. Okay. And then after that um the cyber crime investigation coordination center, national privacy commission and national telecommunications commission. So

155
00:17:51,180 --> 00:17:52,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Do you want to make a statement?

156
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,600
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, Madam Chair.

157
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Anyway, good afternoon to the ICT family.

158
00:17:58,340 --> 00:18:02,440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And I'm here as Chairman of the Committee on Finance to hear, of course, iyong mga ano niyo.

159
00:18:02,540 --> 00:18:09,120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we understand that because of the very limited fiscal space this coming year,

160
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:16,180
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: most of the departments and budgets receive a considerable amount of budget cuts.

161
00:18:16,380 --> 00:18:22,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But anyway, the Vice Chair is here to hear the programs.

162
00:18:22,980 --> 00:18:27,220
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Please let us know which ones will be severely affected.

163
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:27,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And which,

164
00:18:28,340 --> 00:18:34,800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: siguro, list na lang later on which programs need to be funded.

165
00:18:35,700 --> 00:18:41,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: That's why the reason why we have budget hearings is, of course, to consider.

166
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,960
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, Madam Chair, that's all. Thank you.

167
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:46,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Just a quick remark.

168
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Same comment I had when we had our briefing.

169
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:57,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Of course, we're all excited that all of these Filipinos are being targeted for capacity.

170
00:18:58,340 --> 00:19:05,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But I still have that question of what tools do we leave them behind after?

171
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because they have more knowledge, but they don't have access to computers.

172
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:16,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I know there was a response already given to me during the briefing that there are centers.

173
00:19:16,980 --> 00:19:23,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But we really have to, I think I asked you to show me the picture to show like how many of these people have access,

174
00:19:23,220 --> 00:19:26,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: like walking distance ba yun sa kanila, nasa barangday ba nila yun?

175
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:27,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi otherwise.

176
00:19:28,340 --> 00:19:33,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And it is an issue that has been brought to our attention that we read about, not just in the Philippines.

177
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:44,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Hindi natin na, we want to fulfill that role, pero without the enough tools, baka kulang din yung access nila.

178
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, just maybe a very quick response before you go to the next point.

179
00:19:52,540 --> 00:19:57,780
DICT ICT Literacy and Competency Development Bureau Director Jennalyn G. Raviz: Madam Senator, we actually have digital transformation centers.

180
00:19:58,340 --> 00:19:59,220
DICT ICT Literacy and Competency Development Bureau Director Jennalyn G. Raviz: In the regions.

181
00:19:59,460 --> 00:20:09,080
DICT ICT Literacy and Competency Development Bureau Director Jennalyn G. Raviz: And we try to strategically put them in places where they could easily be accessed by our citizens.

182
00:20:09,660 --> 00:20:13,580
DICT ICT Literacy and Competency Development Bureau Director Jennalyn G. Raviz: So, as for what is in a DTC, so it depends on the level.

183
00:20:13,980 --> 00:20:18,480
DICT ICT Literacy and Competency Development Bureau Director Jennalyn G. Raviz: So, they do have computers there where everybody could actually use.

184
00:20:18,740 --> 00:20:20,880
DICT ICT Literacy and Competency Development Bureau Director Jennalyn G. Raviz: They also have internet access there as well.

185
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay. Let's leave that. I'll park this issue for further discussion.

186
00:20:28,340 --> 00:20:29,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But at least that remains to be my concern.

187
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I think I asked you nga for like a mapping so we could really see.

188
00:20:33,180 --> 00:20:34,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you. Okay. Let's proceed.

192
00:20:41,220 --> 00:20:48,840
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez: So, owing to the inclusive tech for all, again, there are three major programs for infrastructure.

193
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:51,880
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez: This is the NBP, the GovNet, and the free Wi-Fi.

194
00:20:52,380 --> 00:20:57,660
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez: For this afternoon, Madam, I will be discussing the national program, broadband program.

195

197
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:27,860
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez: with estimated 26.47 million members of transacting public service by existing NBP and GovNet infrastructure.

DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez: We continue for the backbone maintenance and sustain a large GovNet footprint.

202
00:21:58,340 --> 00:22:11,000
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez: That will now serve 2,368 agency or facility reflected in the target of 1,081 GovNet agency and facility maintained.

203
00:22:14,180 --> 00:22:25,000
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez: Again, Madam Chair, as you could see in the drawing, the success story of Phase 1, 2, 3 remains looping.

329
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:21,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: We just put on record, during the briefing I clarified because the enumeration of the areas where the free Wi-Fi was provided did not include areas like state universities and hospitals, but it was clarified by the team that kasama naman iyon. So just for the record, lagay natin iyan kasi importante iyon eh.

330
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:22,120
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao: Thank you, Madam Chair.

331
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:24,380

332
00:28:24,380 --> 00:28:26,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: add that, that's why earlier on,

333
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:28,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because I'll keep going back to it,

334
00:28:28,460 --> 00:28:30,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: when I mentioned the different sustainable

335
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: development goals, one is on education,

336
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the other one is on health, at the end

337
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of the day, itong free Wi-Fi natin

338
00:28:36,540 --> 00:28:38,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is not just for leisure,

339
00:28:38,380 --> 00:28:40,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: di ba? Because

340
00:28:40,060 --> 00:28:42,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I wonder if anyone ever did a survey,

341
00:28:42,780 --> 00:28:44,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but like, how do most people

342
00:28:44,340 --> 00:28:46,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: use it? I don't think anyone in this room,

343
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: myself included, will deny

344
00:28:47,780 --> 00:28:50,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that a big chunk of my usage is leisure,

345
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but a big chunk of my usage

346
00:28:52,340 --> 00:28:54,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is also work. Like right now,

347
00:28:54,380 --> 00:28:55,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we're using Wi-Fi at work.

348
00:28:56,340 --> 00:28:58,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If this is the Senate Wi-Fi, then I

349
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: guarantee you, it's bad.

350
00:29:01,020 --> 00:29:01,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But

351
00:29:01,460 --> 00:29:04,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: on other occasions with my team, we work

352
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: gabi na, they work from home, I work

353
00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:08,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: from home, and we're able

354
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to have discussions because we

355
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: have Wi-Fi. So,

356
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: hindi free Wi-Fi yung sa amin, by the way.

357
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:16,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But

358
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: my point is, pagdating dito sa mga

359
00:29:18,340 --> 00:29:19,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: schools like state universities,

360
00:29:20,220 --> 00:29:22,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that's how we can ensure that quality

361
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: education can reach the far-flung

362
00:29:24,260 --> 00:29:26,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: areas, diba? Like we can have

363
00:29:26,100 --> 00:29:28,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: professors, you know, like really good

364
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: professors with PhDs

365
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:31,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: from

366
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:36,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: premium universities

367
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: be lecturing in

368
00:29:38,260 --> 00:29:40,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: small colleges because

369
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of Wi-Fi. And same goes with the doctors.

370
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I mean, I'm preaching to the choir, alam nyo naman yan,

371
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but I have to put it in record because

372
00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:48,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: yun talaga yung purpose natin,

373
00:29:48,540 --> 00:29:50,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: diba, for the Wi-Fi. It's not

374
00:29:50,380 --> 00:29:52,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: so that kids can be on Facebook

375
00:29:52,180 --> 00:29:53,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and can have barkada, but

376
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but, you know, beyond

377
00:29:55,980 --> 00:29:57,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: leisure, it's also connectivity because

378
00:29:57,780 --> 00:30:00,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: how many, how much, what is the person

379
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of Filipinos that have

380
00:30:01,380 --> 00:30:04,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: an immediate family member that's an OFW.

381
00:30:04,420 --> 00:30:05,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So in that sense, kahit sabi mong

382
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kwentuhan lang yun, pero that's kwentuhan

383
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that a child needs.

384
00:30:10,060 --> 00:30:11,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That's kwentuhan with their mother, that's kwentuhan with

385
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:14,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: their father who is probably away for a year

386
00:30:14,060 --> 00:30:15,860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: or two years. So support tayo

387
00:30:15,860 --> 00:30:17,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: dyan. Kahit sabi mong walang

388
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kahit sabi mong

389
00:30:20,260 --> 00:30:22,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kwentuhan lang yan. No, that's the kind

390
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of connectivity that we really want.

391
00:30:23,820 --> 00:30:25,000

612
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,480
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: government also needs trusted digital

613
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:23,440
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: transactions.

614
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,360
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: This is the role of the Philippine National Public Key

615
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,440
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: Impress Structure.

616
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Before we come to that,

617
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'll just separate the past two slides that you used.

618
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Very quickly,

619
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:43,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: without divulging anything that should be considered

620
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:44,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a

621
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: more high-level security.

622
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, general answers lang naman.

623
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:55,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: How vulnerable are our government agencies in Asia?

624
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:56,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: In general na lang, diba?

625
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Not even the Philippines.

626
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: How vulnerable are we compared to five years ago,

627
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: compared to ten years ago?

628
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Like, I don't even remember this being discussed

629
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in the early days of me being a senator, diba?

630
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, kailan naging issue talaga ito na kailangan

631
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: paglaanan ng pondo, paglaanan ng training?

632
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:21,760
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: Madam Chair, in terms of the national government agencies,

633
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:28,480
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: with regards to, I consider out of target that we have

634
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,000
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: is 340 national government agencies.

635
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,320
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: The 90 government agencies that connected to our national

636
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:41,200
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: security operation centers are now protected in terms of

637
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,800
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: cyber attacks against

638
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:50,480
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: APT or possible state-sponsored threat actor.

639
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,040
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: We are working on that to expand the coverage

640
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,040
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: at least 50% of the government agencies.

641
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: To be clear ha, kasi hindi mga techie,

642
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ang kausap mo hindi techie, tas yung ibang nakikinig hindi rin.

643
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: When you say they are now secure from state-sponsored attacks,

644
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: these are other states.

645
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What do you mean by a state?

646
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:22,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Do you mean it in a legal sense like other countries?

647
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Or just other beings?

648
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:30,400
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: There are possibility, Madam Chair, that some of the threat actor,

649
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:35,560
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: like not local threat actor, they are constantly attacking

650
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:42,080
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: our government agencies in terms of trying to expel threat.

651
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, you're saying there are two kinds of actors.

652
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There's local, meaning mga Pilipino din, and then may international.

653
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:52,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then they can be further classified in different ways.

654
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There's a, how would you classify it?

655
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:59,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There's individual attack, and then there's like a

656
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: conspiratory attack by some…

657
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:08,960
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: Well, Madam Chair, hindi lang naman po tayo sa Pilipinas ang under threat ng AF.

658
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes, I know. That's why nga sabi ko, let's make it clear na hindi ko naman inaano yung Pilipinas.

659
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kumbaga, ano yung global situation natin?

660
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:23,680
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: Yes, it's the common threat po na there are threat actors that are attacking other countries

661
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:31,680
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: and including Philippines, especially the ASEAN Summit, the upcoming ASEAN Summit.

662
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:42,680
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: There are threats po na those groups, some of them are criminal enterprises or state,

663
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,520
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: sponsored actors. We are constantly under threat po doon.

664
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:53,120
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: And then what we are trying to do right now in terms of the cyber security posture is,

665
00:42:53,120 --> 00:43:02,400
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: we are covering as many government agencies to protect against those kind of attacks.

666
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yung threat sa government agency, ano yung habol doon?

667
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:13,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: To just make a statement na nakahack sila sa isang government agency or, let me finish lang my question, or,

668
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:17,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is there data there, like personal data, let's say, ang nahack nila is,

669
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:23,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I won't mention na lang the agencies, but there are agencies that have a lot of our personal data, di ba?

670
00:43:23,740 --> 00:43:26,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi we register there, we transact with them.

671
00:43:27,300 --> 00:43:29,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm talking government, hindi pa nga private, government lang.

672
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:39,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, would you say that the purpose of the, I'll just call them the hackers, is one or the other or both?

673
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:51,760
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: Madam Chair, there are two groups of local actors po dito sa atin.

674
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:57,140
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: The first group are yung tinatawag nating hacktivists.

675
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:04,160
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: These hacktivists are the one attacking institutions, yung mga schools.

676
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:13,260
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: They have recruited mga young generations na gustong matuto about cyber security.

677
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:20,620
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: The other group is more about, they want money.

678
00:44:21,260 --> 00:44:26,980
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: So, they are targeting to exfiltrate data and selling it in the dark web.

679
00:44:28,100 --> 00:44:28,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you for that.

680
00:44:29,300 --> 00:44:31,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I'll wrap up this point.

681
00:44:33,100 --> 00:44:42,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It goes into one of my, one of the main reasons I have been against the mandatory ROTC.

682
00:44:42,100 --> 00:44:42,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ROTC.

683
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:53,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Is because when it was presented to us years ago, it was not presented in a way that I felt was ensured with the changing threats.

684
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, my question to them at that time was,

685
00:44:57,900 --> 00:44:59,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pinaprepare ba natin yung mga mag-

686
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ROTC dito sa mga

687
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: cyber security threats

688
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ano ba yung

689
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: doon pa lang sa basic computer literacy

690
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kasi kung sasabihin mo na we're preparing

691
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:11,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: all the

692
00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:13,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: if you make it mandatory nga

693
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: lahat ng studyante natin na

694
00:45:15,820 --> 00:45:18,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: nasa college kasama yung

695
00:45:18,300 --> 00:45:19,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: basic

696
00:45:19,780 --> 00:45:22,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: digital

697
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: competency and then from

698
00:45:26,060 --> 00:45:26,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: there

699
00:45:26,500 --> 00:45:29,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the importance of security

700
00:45:29,720 --> 00:45:31,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in your personal data

701
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: security of government data

702
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: security of private data

703
00:45:35,980 --> 00:45:37,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: people you transact with para mamulat yung

704
00:45:37,940 --> 00:45:40,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: mga mata nila diba so basically the answer

705
00:45:40,060 --> 00:45:41,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that I got at that time was

706
00:45:41,740 --> 00:45:44,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: medyo wala pa so that's why I was

707
00:45:44,100 --> 00:45:46,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: like medyo mahirap na

708
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:48,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na andun pa rin

709
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: yung program na nagmamarch

710
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: nasa ilalim ng araw

711
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: hindi ko medyo makita yung relevance

712
00:45:53,940 --> 00:45:55,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: dun sa mga threats na nangyayari ngayon

713
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: so I'm posing that because I have this opportunity now

714
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to talk to many of you

715
00:45:59,620 --> 00:46:01,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: who are digital experts

716
00:46:01,740 --> 00:46:03,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: cyber security experts that please

717
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:04,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: keep that in mind

718
00:46:04,700 --> 00:46:07,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and that's why again ibabalik ko

719
00:46:07,220 --> 00:46:08,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: SDG 4 is education

720
00:46:08,820 --> 00:46:11,700

DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: CHED for the

773
00:47:58,940 --> 00:48:00,940

DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: micro-credentials.

775
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Last point lang no,

776
00:48:05,100 --> 00:48:06,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's very often, even

777
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: within the education sector

778
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na kasi ay

779
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:12,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: dati kasi ang Senate

780
00:48:12,500 --> 00:48:14,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Committee on Education hindi yan nakahati

781
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: sa basic

782
00:48:16,420 --> 00:48:17,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: education and

783
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: higher education. So nakikita ko

784
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: yung buong picture. Ngayon kasi

785
00:48:22,180 --> 00:48:23,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: magkahiwalay yun. But

786
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it was easier for me in that sense before

787
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kasi I can easily call out

788
00:48:28,660 --> 00:48:28,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na

789
00:48:28,940 --> 00:48:31,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a lot of times when we think

790
00:48:31,540 --> 00:48:33,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of certain issues, we think

791
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:33,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pang-college yan.

792
00:48:35,340 --> 00:48:37,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But anyway, I just want to

793
00:48:37,020 --> 00:48:37,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: emphasize that

794
00:48:37,980 --> 00:48:41,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: there may be a need

795
00:48:41,620 --> 00:48:43,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and this is always age appropriate

796
00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:45,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to involve DepEd. Kasi nga

797
00:48:45,260 --> 00:48:47,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: like itong school shootings

798
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:48,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na lang and some other

799
00:48:48,700 --> 00:48:51,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: disasters that we hope don't

800
00:48:51,180 --> 00:48:53,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: happen here. Yung mga bata

801
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kasi exposed nga sila sa violent games

802
00:48:55,340 --> 00:48:57,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: diba? So medyo labas na to

803
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:58,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: sa day-to-day work nyo siguro.

804
00:48:58,940 --> 00:49:00,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Pero importanteng matayin nyo yan dyan eh.

805
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I hope and I know you

806
00:49:02,780 --> 00:49:03,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I know the Secretary

807
00:49:03,820 --> 00:49:06,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is also having discussions naman with DepEd

808
00:49:06,940 --> 00:49:07,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pero

809
00:49:07,340 --> 00:49:10,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: parang let's be sure na

810
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we don't think it's something

811
00:49:13,100 --> 00:49:14,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we limit to

812
00:49:14,060 --> 00:49:16,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: college kasi parang diba

813
00:49:16,580 --> 00:49:18,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it starts with the younger. I'm sure

814
00:49:18,740 --> 00:49:20,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you're not saying that but it's just an

815
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: emphasis that I wanted to make.

984
00:55:02,900 --> 00:55:04,900

985
00:55:04,900 --> 00:55:06,900

986

1003
00:55:40,900 --> 00:55:42,900

1004
00:55:42,900 --> 00:55:44,900

1006
00:55:46,900 --> 00:55:48,900

1007
00:55:48,900 --> 00:55:50,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: repeated excavation, Madam Senator,

1008
00:55:50,900 --> 00:55:52,900

1009
00:55:52,900 --> 00:55:54,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: faster and, of course, more cost efficient.

1010
00:55:54,900 --> 00:55:56,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: Second, we have the Access

1016
00:56:06,900 --> 00:56:08,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: helping reduce, of course, bottlenecks

1017
00:56:08,900 --> 00:56:10,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: and encourage competition, as

1022
00:56:18,900 --> 00:56:20,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: allocation and use of spectrum as a

1023
00:56:20,900 --> 00:56:22,900

1028
00:56:30,900 --> 00:56:32,900

1033
00:56:42,900 --> 00:56:44,900

1036
00:56:48,900 --> 00:56:50,900

1037
00:56:50,900 --> 00:56:52,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: important because during the briefing,

1057
00:57:30,900 --> 00:57:32,900

1058
00:57:32,900 --> 00:57:34,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: data should be handled when there is

1059
00:57:34,900 --> 00:57:36,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: an interface with the private sector.

1060
00:57:36,900 --> 00:57:38,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: So, what I

1061
00:57:38,900 --> 00:57:40,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: have mentioned, Madam Senator,

1062
00:57:40,900 --> 00:57:42,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: are the policies that we have

1063
00:57:42,900 --> 00:57:44,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: already issued for our

1064
00:57:44,900 --> 00:57:46,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: 2026 budget.

1065
00:57:46,900 --> 00:57:48,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: So, as I said, for 2027,

1066
00:57:48,900 --> 00:57:50,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: we only need 11.881

1067
00:57:50,900 --> 00:57:52,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: million

1068
00:57:52,900 --> 00:57:54,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: for this. Lastly, before I

1069
00:57:54,900 --> 00:57:56,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: forget, we also have

1070
00:57:56,900 --> 00:57:58,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: the policy

1071
00:57:58,900 --> 00:58:00,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: on the ethical use of AI,

1072
00:58:00,900 --> 00:58:02,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: which will be applicable to

1073
00:58:02,900 --> 00:58:04,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: all government agencies.

1074
00:58:04,900 --> 00:58:06,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: We are proud to announce that we had

1075
00:58:06,900 --> 00:58:08,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: a JMC with a civil service,

1076
00:58:08,900 --> 00:58:10,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: Madam Senator.

1077
00:58:10,900 --> 00:58:12,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: Last week, we met already

1078
00:58:12,900 --> 00:58:14,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: and had our ride shop in Clark.

1079
00:58:14,900 --> 00:58:16,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: It was a three-day intensive

1080
00:58:16,900 --> 00:58:18,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: where we discussed their issues, their

1081
00:58:18,900 --> 00:58:20,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: concerns, their problems, their pain points.

1082
00:58:20,900 --> 00:58:22,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: We know that it is very

1083
00:58:22,900 --> 00:58:24,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: difficult for the agencies to keep

1084
00:58:24,900 --> 00:58:26,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: up with

1085
00:58:26,900 --> 00:58:28,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: the AI trend, but

1086
00:58:28,900 --> 00:58:30,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: they cannot be left behind. That's why

1087
00:58:30,900 --> 00:58:32,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: we are guiding the other agencies

1088
00:58:32,900 --> 00:58:34,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: through this JMC, especially focusing

1089
00:58:34,900 --> 00:58:36,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: on the civil service, Madam Senator.

1090
00:58:36,900 --> 00:58:38,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay. I also recall

1091
00:58:38,900 --> 00:58:40,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we did touch on that during the

1092
00:58:40,900 --> 00:58:42,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: briefing that it's

1093
00:58:42,900 --> 00:58:44,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: important that our

1094
00:58:44,900 --> 00:58:46,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: civil servants

1095
00:58:46,900 --> 00:58:48,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: know how to use AI and to

1096
00:58:48,900 --> 00:58:50,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: use it ethically. So, I'll

1097
00:58:50,900 --> 00:58:52,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: leave it at that, but I'm

1098
00:58:52,900 --> 00:58:54,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: happy that you're working with the civil

1099
00:58:54,900 --> 00:58:56,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: service because it will save a lot

1100
00:58:56,900 --> 00:58:58,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of time if they can use it, but

1101
00:58:58,900 --> 00:59:00,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: also, it will also create a lot of

1102
00:59:00,900 --> 00:59:02,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: headaches and problems if it's not

1103
00:59:02,900 --> 00:59:04,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: used responsibly. So,

1104
00:59:04,900 --> 00:59:06,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm glad you're

1105
00:59:06,900 --> 00:59:08,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: doing that. Thank you.

1106
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:08,900
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison: Thank you, Madam Senator.

1112
00:59:22,900 --> 00:59:24,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: opportunity created by the

1113
00:59:24,900 --> 00:59:26,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: newly signed law, the e-governance

1114
00:59:26,900 --> 00:59:28,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: act or the RA

1115
00:59:28,900 --> 00:59:30,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: 12254.

1116
00:59:30,900 --> 00:59:32,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: This next slide is about putting

1117
00:59:32,900 --> 00:59:34,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: that reform into action.

1118
00:59:34,900 --> 00:59:36,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: With the passage of the e-governance

1119
00:59:36,900 --> 00:59:38,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: act and the issuance of the

1120
00:59:38,900 --> 00:59:40,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: implementing rules and regulations,

1121
00:59:40,900 --> 00:59:42,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: we now move from

1122
00:59:42,900 --> 00:59:44,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: establishing the policy framework

1123
00:59:44,900 --> 00:59:46,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: to actual implementation across

1124
00:59:46,900 --> 00:59:48,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: government. This is

1125
00:59:48,900 --> 00:59:50,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: why the e-governance act implementing

1126
00:59:50,900 --> 00:59:52,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: program is a new program

1127
00:59:52,900 --> 00:59:54,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: under the 2027

1128
00:59:54,900 --> 00:59:56,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: NEP with the

1129
00:59:56,900 --> 00:59:58,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: proposed budget of 1.837 billion.

1130
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:09,180
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: There was no corresponding provisions in the 2026 GAA because this program is specifically designed to operationalize the new law.

1131
01:00:09,740 --> 01:00:12,780
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: More importantly, Madam Chair, we're not starting from zero.

1132
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:17,020
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: We already have the foundation of an integrated digital government.

1133
01:00:17,260 --> 01:00:22,720
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: We build in-house 30 digital platforms that we just need to sustain.

1134
01:00:23,460 --> 01:00:28,460
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Right now, the biggest one is the implementation of the data exchange platform.

1135
01:00:28,460 --> 01:00:40,860
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: We already have 1,700 systems connected to a single platform to remove redundancies, duplications, and to make sure that we're able to optimize these systems.

1136
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:45,120
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: The e-goop super app, we already have more than 60 million users now.

1137
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,980
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Connecting also to the digital national ID, we have 92 million.

1138
01:00:48,980 --> 01:00:57,840
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: And this will eliminate not just system repetition, but also to maximize and optimize our subscriptions, including cloud services.

1139
01:00:58,420 --> 01:00:58,440
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Thank you.

1140
01:00:58,460 --> 01:01:12,780
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: We also conducted a feasibility study, Madam Chair, that if we're able to optimize this new law, we're able to save a minimum of 30% if we're able to remove this kind of duplications in any ICT projects.

1141
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:14,700
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Next slide.

1142
01:01:20,700 --> 01:01:27,700
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: The e-governance app allows us to do these efforts under a stronger...

1143
01:01:27,700 --> 01:01:29,980
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: ...whole-of-government approach.

1144
01:01:30,940 --> 01:01:40,440
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: As of August 2026, the e-goop app already reaches 65 million downloads with 60 million unique users.

1145
01:01:41,060 --> 01:01:48,840
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Digital national ID, we already issued around 92 million against 95 million captured citizens.

1146
01:01:50,020 --> 01:01:57,600
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: The e-message, we have more than 1.1 billion credits against 1.4 billion credits that's supposed to be used.

1147
01:01:57,700 --> 01:02:03,640
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: And we implemented also our e-LGU system to more than 1,100 LGUs.

1148
01:02:04,340 --> 01:02:10,020
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: This is the automation of the business permit, marriage, birth, death, and other kinds of clearances.

1149
01:02:10,900 --> 01:02:18,060
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: So more than 70% of the 1,600 LGUs are now adopting our e-LGU system.

1150
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:24,220
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: We also developed the 30 e-government digital platforms hosted in our cloud services.

1151
01:02:24,540 --> 01:02:27,660
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: We are basically managing also...

1152
01:02:27,660 --> 01:02:30,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: ...and maintaining more than 3,000 e-goop cloud services.

1153
01:02:31,740 --> 01:02:40,840

1217
01:05:51,220 --> 01:05:52,820

01:06:25,540 --> 01:06:27,200
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: For e-government cloud hosting

1235
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:27,800

1236
01:06:28,540 --> 01:06:30,920

01:06:57,920 --> 01:06:59,540

1251
01:06:59,540 --> 01:07:01,600
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: data center, I think we're able to

1252
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:03,480
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: migrate around 20%

1253

1262
01:07:55,540 --> 01:08:00,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Just a quick question.

1263
01:08:03,300 --> 01:08:05,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You ended with a statement

1264
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:07,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that the goal is

1265
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:08,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to transfer

1266
01:08:08,900 --> 01:08:11,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 20% to

1267
01:08:11,340 --> 01:08:12,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: our own data center.

1268
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:15,120
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Yes, Madam Chair, for

1269
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 2027. This is 20%

1270
01:08:17,420 --> 01:08:19,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of the data in the

1271
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:19,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: e-gov.

1272
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:22,420
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: So we have

1273
01:08:22,420 --> 01:08:25,320
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: 30 digital platforms, Madam

1274
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:26,740
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Chair. So 20% of that.

1275
01:08:28,180 --> 01:08:28,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But

1276
01:08:28,420 --> 01:08:32,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the

1277
01:08:32,060 --> 01:08:35,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: app that we're using for e-gov

1278
01:08:35,100 --> 01:08:36,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: was built entirely in-house,

1279
01:08:37,100 --> 01:08:37,410
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: no?

1280
01:08:37,410 --> 01:08:37,950
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Yes, Madam Chair.

1281
01:08:37,950 --> 01:08:38,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I know that's

1282
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:40,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: something to be proud of.

1283
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:42,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But the worry there always is

1284
01:08:42,940 --> 01:08:44,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that balance between our ability

1285
01:08:44,780 --> 01:08:47,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to sustain it because with the rapid

1286
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:49,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: changing everything

1287
01:08:49,140 --> 01:08:50,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: by all the

1288
01:08:50,380 --> 01:08:53,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: technological advances

1289
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:54,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and even in cyber security,

1290
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:57,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: there will always be

1291
01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:59,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that challenge

1292
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:01,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: on how do we sustain this

1293
01:09:01,340 --> 01:09:03,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because even your developers

1294
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:05,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and your cyber

1295
01:09:05,500 --> 01:09:06,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: security experts,

1296
01:09:06,620 --> 01:09:09,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I don't know if government

1297
01:09:09,020 --> 01:09:11,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: can even pay as much as the

1298
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:12,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: private sector can pay.

1299
01:09:13,380 --> 01:09:15,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So maybe just a quick response

1300
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because that remains to be a concern

1301
01:09:17,100 --> 01:09:19,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I have just with

1302
01:09:19,300 --> 01:09:21,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the continuous development

1303
01:09:21,020 --> 01:09:23,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of the e-gov

1304
01:09:23,340 --> 01:09:25,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: app and the hosting.

1305
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Of all these platforms

1306
01:09:27,420 --> 01:09:28,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because there's a lot of private data

1307
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:29,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that's in it.

1308
01:09:30,340 --> 01:09:33,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And currently, that data

1309
01:09:33,060 --> 01:09:34,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is in a foreign

1310
01:09:34,900 --> 01:09:37,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: hosted and managed data center.

1311
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:38,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But these are global.

1312
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: These are globally recognized providers

1313
01:09:41,480 --> 01:09:43,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that have a

1314
01:09:43,260 --> 01:09:45,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: track record for security.

1315
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:47,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Is that correct?

1316
01:09:47,380 --> 01:09:48,040
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Yes, Madam Chair.

1317
01:09:48,220 --> 01:09:51,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I do have that fear that if you transfer

1318
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that to

1319
01:09:53,340 --> 01:09:55,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what we did, we're proud

1320
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:56,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na ginawa natin yung sarili natin,

1321
01:09:57,060 --> 01:09:59,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pero yung ability natin

1322
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:00,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to ensure the

1323
01:10:00,980 --> 01:10:02,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: sustainability

1324
01:10:02,580 --> 01:10:05,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and the security of that

1325
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:06,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is really a concern.

1326
01:10:08,140 --> 01:10:09,260
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Yes, Madam Chair.

1327
01:10:10,220 --> 01:10:11,260
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: This is also the

1328
01:10:11,260 --> 01:10:13,180
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: reason we're so thankful for

1329
01:10:13,180 --> 01:10:14,300
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: the passing of the new law,

1330
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:15,900
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: the e-government law.

1331
01:10:16,620 --> 01:10:19,220
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: The main purpose of this

1332
01:10:19,220 --> 01:10:21,100
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: new law is to make sure that

1333
01:10:21,100 --> 01:10:22,140
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: we're able to establish

1334
01:10:22,140 --> 01:10:25,220
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: world-class localization zones,

1335
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:25,660
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: as well.

1336
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:27,980
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: In fact, Madam Chair, we're also encouraging

1337
01:10:27,980 --> 01:10:31,020
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: these foreign entities to come up

1338
01:10:31,020 --> 01:10:32,400
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: with a certain

1339
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,620
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: localization zone in the Philippines.

1340
01:10:34,780 --> 01:10:36,400
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Example, if AWS,

1341
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:38,660
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: maybe they would like to build their own

1342
01:10:38,660 --> 01:10:39,820
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: data center here already.

1343
01:10:40,540 --> 01:10:42,420
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Let's say Google, instead of data

1344
01:10:42,420 --> 01:10:44,640
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: in Singapore, maybe they could also

1345
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:46,160
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: build their data center also here.

1346
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:48,520
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: So this could also entice them, Madam Chair,

1347
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:50,660
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: to establish their localization

1348
01:10:50,660 --> 01:10:53,120
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: zone. In terms of building...

1349
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:54,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Just to clarify,

1350
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:57,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you're still open to working with

1351
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:58,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: these known technological

1352
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: providers?

1353
01:11:02,420 --> 01:11:03,160
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Yes, Madam Chair.

1354
01:11:03,660 --> 01:11:04,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

1355
01:11:04,620 --> 01:11:06,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because I thought the goal was

1356
01:11:06,900 --> 01:11:09,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na purely independent tayo.

1357
01:11:09,480 --> 01:11:11,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So I had a little bit of fear

1358
01:11:11,140 --> 01:11:13,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na it's one thing to be

1359
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:15,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: independent. It's another thing

1360
01:11:15,100 --> 01:11:16,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to recognize that

1361
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: those who focus on that

1362
01:11:18,900 --> 01:11:21,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: technology usually have an advantage.

1363
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:22,260
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Yes, Madam Chair.

1364
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,200
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: We call it co-development.

1365
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,200
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: And so as they

1366
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:28,780
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: teach us, it

1367
01:11:28,780 --> 01:11:31,340
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: will take time. And also

1368
01:11:31,340 --> 01:11:33,140
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: your question a while ago, Madam Chair,

1369
01:11:33,260 --> 01:11:35,120
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: how could we bring in also the IT

1370
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:37,260
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: experts to sustain this moving forward

1371
01:11:37,260 --> 01:11:38,620
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: since we're doing this in-house?

1372
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:41,240
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: So our goal is to bring in

1373
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:42,960
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: the IT community to...

1374
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,240
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Magigaling po yung ating mga IT experts,

1375
01:11:45,440 --> 01:11:46,600
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: our start-ups.

1376
01:11:47,420 --> 01:11:49,220
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: And I think if we're able to bring

1377
01:11:49,220 --> 01:11:49,580
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: them in...

1378
01:11:49,580 --> 01:11:53,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ang tanong is we don't...

1379
01:11:53,460 --> 01:11:55,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: The ability of

1380
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:56,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the foreign capitalists

1381
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:58,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to sustain them

1382
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is stronger than ours.

1383
01:12:01,480 --> 01:12:03,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So nangyayari mawawala din sa atin.

1384
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:05,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So yun lang yung sustainability.

1385
01:12:05,780 --> 01:12:06,440
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Yes, Madam Chair.

1386
01:12:06,620 --> 01:12:08,740
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: That's why for the new law, since

1387
01:12:08,740 --> 01:12:10,760
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: we have 1.8 billion, we're allocating

1388
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:12,640
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: budget for that to

1389
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,040
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: increase also

1390
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:16,760
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: the compensation of our

1391
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,420
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: IT experts who will be joining us, Madam Chair,

1392
01:12:19,420 --> 01:12:20,280
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: moving forward.

1393
01:12:20,780 --> 01:12:20,900
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

1394
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:30,000
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco: So with your permission, Madam Chair.

1395
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:31,560
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco: So good afternoon again.

1396
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:34,880
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco: So building ICT infrastructure

1397
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:36,480
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco: is only the first step.

1398
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:38,780
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco: So the government also has to operate,

1399
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,020
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco: maintain, secure, and refresh

1400

Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I guess. It's still...

1756
01:25:05,020 --> 01:25:05,300
CICC Deputy Executive Director Atty. Alvin Miro Navarro: Yes po.

1757
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:07,740
CICC Deputy Executive Director Atty. Alvin Miro Navarro: It's all about finance, actually.

1758
01:25:07,740 --> 01:25:09,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It's all about the money. It's just how...

1759
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:11,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Paano nyo nalilure? Yung isa nalilure niya

1760
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:13,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: by way of offering a job that doesn't exist

1761
01:25:13,480 --> 01:25:15,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: or iba pa. The other one, nalilure naman niya

1781
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:00,820

1782
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:03,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kayo yan, na at some point,

1783
01:26:03,380 --> 01:26:05,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: you really want human intervention,

1784
01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:06,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: diba? Of course, especially pagdating sa mga

1785
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: OSAEC na yan, diba? Pero, you can already

1786
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:11,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: use AI to

1787
01:26:11,060 --> 01:26:13,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: take a look at the general landscape,

1788
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:15,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what's happening here, diba? Like, may flags yan,

1789
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:16,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: diba? Kaya na ng AI yan.

1790
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:19,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then, even yung duplications.

1791
01:26:20,220 --> 01:26:20,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi,

1792
01:26:21,060 --> 01:26:23,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: somebody na nangugulo

01:26:23,500 --> 01:26:25,800

1807
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:53,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na. So, I hope you're able to use AI

1808
01:26:53,140 --> 01:26:54,860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na, yun nga, yung sharing

1809
01:26:54,860 --> 01:26:57,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of information that was mentioned earlier,

1818
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:13,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: logically.

01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:16,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: May gano'n na ba kayo?

1820
01:27:16,420 --> 01:27:19,140
CICC Deputy Executive Director Atty. Alvin Miro Navarro: We confirm, Madam Chair, we are baking

01:27:19,140 --> 01:27:20,900
CICC Deputy Executive Director Atty. Alvin Miro Navarro: AI solutions into our processes.

1822
01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:22,900
CICC Deputy Executive Director Atty. Alvin Miro Navarro: Uh, syempre,

1823
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:24,300
CICC Deputy Executive Director Atty. Alvin Miro Navarro: hindi po agaran,

1824
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:27,180
CICC Deputy Executive Director Atty. Alvin Miro Navarro: because it, we, it requires resources,

1825

DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao: With your permission, Madam Chair,

1852

1853
01:28:32,900 --> 01:28:34,620
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: current program of the NPC

1854
01:28:34,620 --> 01:28:37,120

01:28:48,740 --> 01:28:50,760
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: rights as data subjects, as well as

1862
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:52,760
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: practical information on how to protect

1863
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:54,440
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: themselves in a digital environment.

1864
01:28:55,180 --> 01:28:56,680
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Our public education program

1865
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:58,620
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: also extends to our data

1866
01:28:58,620 --> 01:28:59,020
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: privacy,

1867
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:01,080
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: competency program, which

1868
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:02,840
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: is a program which provides

1869
01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:04,780

1870
01:29:04,780 --> 01:29:07,040
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for data privacy practitioners,

1871
01:29:07,260 --> 01:29:08,940
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: data protection officers, both

1872
01:29:08,940 --> 01:29:11,180
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: in the private and government

1873
01:29:11,180 --> 01:29:13,060
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: sector to equip them with

1874
01:29:13,060 --> 01:29:15,380
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: the necessary tools to perform

1875
01:29:15,380 --> 01:29:17,140
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: their functions as data protection

1876
01:29:17,140 --> 01:29:19,220
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: officers. We also have other

1877
01:29:19,220 --> 01:29:21,120
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: initiatives in respect to other

1878
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:23,080
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: industries. Earlier this

1879
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:25,000
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: year, we actually had a joint advisory

1880
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,200
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: with the SEC and the ICT and online

1881
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:28,820
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: lending platforms to

1882
01:29:28,820 --> 01:29:31,160
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: educate our borrowers on

1883
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:32,980
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: their rights with respect to online

1884
01:29:32,980 --> 01:29:34,960
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: platforms, as well as educate

1885
01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:36,700
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: the online platforms themselves

1886
01:29:36,700 --> 01:29:39,160
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: regarding their obligations to potential

1887
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:41,120
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: borrowers with respect to their respective

1888
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:43,000
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: online applications. So

1889
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:44,780
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: these will be continuing programs in

1890
01:29:44,780 --> 01:29:46,860
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: 2027, Madam Chair, but

1891
01:29:46,860 --> 01:29:48,960
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: the modest increase of 60 million

1892
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:51,080
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for 2027 will be

1893
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:52,440
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: used to further fund

1894
01:29:52,440 --> 01:29:55,000
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: our strategic priority programs

1895
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:57,240
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for next year. This would include

1896
01:29:57,240 --> 01:29:58,400
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: enhancement of our

1897
01:29:58,820 --> 01:30:00,020
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: enhanced security response

1898
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:08,340
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: and Investigation Task Force project, specifically increasing the number of dark websites being monitored by the NPC

1899
01:30:08,340 --> 01:30:13,220
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for chatter or information on data breaches.

1900
01:30:13,940 --> 01:30:17,900
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So part of the ongoing programs of the NPC is our breach notification.

1901
01:30:18,540 --> 01:30:27,340
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So those entities that have experienced data breaches are supposed to notify the NPC within 72 hours of the discovery of the breach.

1902
01:30:27,340 --> 01:30:35,080
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: But we also have programs to be proactive in terms of identifying breaches even before they are reported to us.

1903
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:41,960
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: And this bump in the budget in 2027 will further expand that proactive capability of the NPC.

1904
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:49,180
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: It will also allow us to leverage AI technology with respect to our complaints management system.

1905
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:54,660
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So one of the priority projects next year is to have an AI chatbot for NPC

1906
01:30:54,660 --> 01:30:56,660
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: so that instead of reporting,

1907
01:30:57,340 --> 01:31:02,000
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: responding to queries or inquiries through email or telephone or walk-in,

1908
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:06,820
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: stakeholders across the nation can get responses in real-time

1909
01:31:06,820 --> 01:31:11,080
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: through a chatbot to be developed next year using the additional budget.

1910
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:18,560
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: The additional budget will also enhance our data management and process analytics digital platform or DAMPA,

1911
01:31:18,980 --> 01:31:22,260
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: specifically the component on our registration.

1912
01:31:22,260 --> 01:31:27,260
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So it will increase the capacity of the system to process registration,

1913
01:31:27,340 --> 01:31:29,340
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: registrations at any one time.

1914
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:34,200
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So currently it can process around 1,000 applications at the same time.

1915
01:31:34,480 --> 01:31:41,800
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: But since we have priority programs to further expand the number of registered entities across the nation,

1916
01:31:42,180 --> 01:31:47,040
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: we find it necessary to first increase the capability of the system before we roll out the program.

1917
01:31:47,740 --> 01:31:52,320
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Part of the enhancement will also allow us to reduce our turnaround time

1918
01:31:52,680 --> 01:31:56,320
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: in terms of processing these registration applications

1919
01:31:56,620 --> 01:31:57,320
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: from an average

1920
01:31:57,320 --> 01:32:00,140
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: of 7 days to an average of 3 days.

1921
01:32:00,820 --> 01:32:01,700
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Next slide, please.

1922
01:32:05,320 --> 01:32:06,580
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Let me move to the next slide.

1923
01:32:08,980 --> 01:32:13,400
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So another priority program for next year using the augmentation in budget

1924
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:18,560
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: is to further increase the number of participants to the Privacy Awareness Week.

1925
01:32:19,060 --> 01:32:21,160
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So through Presidential Proclamation 512,

1926
01:32:21,480 --> 01:32:25,020
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: the end of May every year is declared to be Privacy Awareness Week.

1927
01:32:25,020 --> 01:32:26,560
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: And the NPC,

1928
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:32,320
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: holds a large forum for both local and regional participants

1929
01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:37,320
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: to discuss emerging and current issues regarding data protection and privacy.

1930
01:32:37,980 --> 01:32:42,980
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Also a priority program next year is the conduct of an expanded national data privacy survey.

1931
01:32:43,440 --> 01:32:50,880
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So in 2021, the NPC conducted a similar survey and it yielded a result of 25% awareness across the nation.

1932
01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:56,160
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So we'd like to identify whether six years after, how we have moved the needle

1933
01:32:56,440 --> 01:32:57,300
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: so that we can have

1934
01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:03,080
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: further data to further inform our policy objectives moving forward.

1935
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:05,620
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: That's it, Madam Chair. Thank you.

1936
01:33:06,020 --> 01:33:06,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Quick questions.

1937
01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:10,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What are the more common privacy concerns?

1938
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:15,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You mentioned that you acted upon 70,000 privacy concerns.

1939
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:17,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What are the common ones?

1940
01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:20,320
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: The 70,000, Madam Chair, are aggregate privacy concerns.

1941
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:27,080
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So it can range from something as small as posting of their personal data online,

1942
01:33:27,780 --> 01:33:31,560
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So queries regarding that: what are their remedies?

1943
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:31,880
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Whether

1944
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:32,800
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: or not

1945
01:33:33,060 --> 01:33:34,460
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: it's a violation.

1946
01:33:34,460 --> 01:33:35,160
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So queries

1947
01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:35,880
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: with respect to that,

1948
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:38,300
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: as well as larger queries with respect to breaches.

1949
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:41,080
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So what they should do, for example, if there's a breach,

1950
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:47,560
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: so we provide them the necessary information on what the stakeholders can do based on our own issuances.

1951
01:33:48,160 --> 01:33:48,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

1952
01:33:48,740 --> 01:33:55,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And what's the status of the designation of data protection officers in government offices?

1953
01:33:56,660 --> 01:33:57,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Where?

1954
01:33:57,320 --> 01:33:58,590
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: are we with that?

1955
01:33:58,590 --> 01:33:59,680
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: From our

1956
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:01,520
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: data, Madam Chair, only

1957
01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:03,700
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: half of the universe of government

1958
01:34:03,700 --> 01:34:05,220
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: agencies are actually

1959
01:34:05,220 --> 01:34:07,560
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: registered with the NPC, which

1960
01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:09,700
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: means they have registered data protection officers

1961
01:34:09,700 --> 01:34:11,460
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: with us. That's why part of our

1962
01:34:11,460 --> 01:34:13,660
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: commitment to the DICT

1963
01:34:13,660 --> 01:34:15,600
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: actually said by the end of 2028,

1964
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:17,580
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: all government agencies would

1965
01:34:17,580 --> 01:34:19,140
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: have registered with the NPC.

1966
01:34:19,760 --> 01:34:21,660
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: And part of the request of the NPC

1967
01:34:21,660 --> 01:34:23,520
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: actually, Madam Chair, if it would be possible

1968
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:25,760
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: to insert a general provision

1969
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:27,780
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: in the 2027 GAA

1970
01:34:27,780 --> 01:34:29,480
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: requiring all government

1971
01:34:29,480 --> 01:34:31,760
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: agencies to register with the NPC

1972
01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:33,140
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: and to have a designated

1973
01:34:33,140 --> 01:34:35,560
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: data protection officer based on

1974
01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:37,620
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: our applicable circular providing for the

1975
01:34:37,620 --> 01:34:39,580
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: levels of positions required in government

1976
01:34:39,580 --> 01:34:40,440
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for such.

1977
01:34:40,440 --> 01:34:40,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

1978
01:34:41,420 --> 01:34:43,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Sounds reasonable. Okay.

1979
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:44,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Next. Thank you.

1980
01:34:48,940 --> 01:34:51,340
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao: With your permission, Madam Chair, the next is NTC

1981
01:34:51,340 --> 01:34:53,280

01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:54,460
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao: Commissioner Ella.

1983
01:34:54,460 --> 01:34:56,860
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez: Magandang hapon, Madam Chair.

1996
01:35:20,480 --> 01:35:22,700
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez: where regional offices bring licensing

1997
01:35:22,700 --> 01:35:24,440
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez: and registration closer to the public.

1998
01:35:24,460 --> 01:35:26,340

01:43:11,700 --> 01:43:13,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is on his way, so I'll

2231
01:43:13,660 --> 01:43:15,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: wait a few minutes, but I'll use

2232
01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:17,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: up the time with a couple of questions.

2233
01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:19,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Let's go back to the data center, no?

2234
01:43:21,500 --> 01:43:23,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Tino nga ba sa inyo, on the data center,

2239
01:43:31,540 --> 01:43:33,620

01:43:33,860 --> 01:43:34,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Tama ba?

2241
01:43:35,960 --> 01:43:36,840
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Yes, Madam Chair.

2242
01:43:37,260 --> 01:43:38,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm confused, because I

2243
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:42,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kala ko pa parang 2.5

2244
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:43,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: per year, or where did I

2245
01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:45,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: get that number? Or previously

2246
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:47,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: allocated 2.5B?

2247
01:43:49,580 --> 01:43:50,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ...

2248
01:43:50,380 --> 01:43:51,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ...

2249
01:43:51,500 --> 01:43:53,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: From the last briefing,

2250
01:43:53,500 --> 01:43:55,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I don't know where I got that number of 2.5.

2251
01:43:59,080 --> 01:44:01,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: 2.5B per center

2252
01:44:01,220 --> 01:44:02,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for the next three years.

2253
01:44:04,700 --> 01:44:05,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: San galing

2254
01:44:05,480 --> 01:44:06,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: yung figure na yun?

2255
01:44:06,500 --> 01:44:09,400
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Maybe that was the request, siguro, Madam Chair.

2256
01:44:09,540 --> 01:44:11,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay. But now, it's 900

2257
01:44:11,480 --> 01:44:13,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: million ang granted,

2258
01:44:13,320 --> 01:44:14,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pero ang request is 2.5?

2259
01:44:14,940 --> 01:44:15,740
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Yes, Madam Chair.

2260
01:44:16,180 --> 01:44:18,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, is that a budgetary request?

2261
01:44:19,420 --> 01:44:19,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Additional?

2262
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:20,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: No.

2263
01:44:20,080 --> 01:44:24,840
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Yes, that was the additional request

2264
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:25,880
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: that's supposed to be, Madam Chair.

2265
01:44:26,260 --> 01:44:27,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Can you submit na lang, no?

2266
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:30,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I know I've taken a quick look

2267
01:44:30,260 --> 01:44:31,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: at your budgetary request.

2268
01:44:32,700 --> 01:44:33,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Can you submit

2269
01:44:33,820 --> 01:44:36,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a complete picture of that?

2270
01:44:36,420 --> 01:44:38,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because I want to understand

2271
01:44:38,020 --> 01:44:40,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: how much do you need

2272
01:44:40,220 --> 01:44:42,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to invest to create a data center?

2273
01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:44,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I understand that funding

2274
01:44:44,380 --> 01:44:46,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: was provided in the previous years.

2275
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:48,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, and then up to how many

2276
01:44:48,220 --> 01:44:49,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to create one data center?

2277
01:44:49,800 --> 01:44:50,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And ano yung vision?

2278
01:44:51,340 --> 01:44:53,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Ano yung na-budget na natin?

2279
01:44:56,220 --> 01:44:58,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: How much more do we need?

2280
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And what's the target date for this?

2281
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:00,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to be operational.

2282
01:45:00,880 --> 01:45:02,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I need to understand that.

2283
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:03,560
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.: Yes, Madam Chef.

2284
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:04,440

01:45:06,380 --> 01:45:08,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: are you better off?

2287
01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:09,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because I remember

2288
01:45:09,100 --> 01:45:09,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: during the briefing,

2289
01:45:09,940 --> 01:45:10,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: sabi nyo,

2290
01:45:11,500 --> 01:45:12,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kasi taon-taon

2291
01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:12,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ang laki din

2292
01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:13,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ang binabayaran natin.

2293
01:45:13,940 --> 01:45:14,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Pero ang sakin naman.

2294
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:15,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But you're also paying

2295
01:45:15,300 --> 01:45:16,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for the security

2296
01:45:16,020 --> 01:45:18,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that these experts provide,

2297
01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:18,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: di ba?

2298
01:45:18,720 --> 01:45:19,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I want to see

2299
01:45:19,780 --> 01:45:21,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that bigger picture.

2300
01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:22,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because at the end of the day,

2301
01:45:22,900 --> 01:45:24,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: when I submit your budget,

2302
01:45:24,300 --> 01:45:24,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we can still have

2303
01:45:24,960 --> 01:45:25,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: these discussions

2304
01:45:25,760 --> 01:45:27,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: until plenary naman eh.

01:45:27,420 --> 01:45:28,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, wala tayong problema.

2306
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:29,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I just want to

Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And paulit-ulit na issues doon

2321
01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:27,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: are family squabbles

2322
01:46:27,460 --> 01:46:28,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and lending.

2323
01:46:28,660 --> 01:46:30,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yun yung pinaka-main talaga.

2324
01:46:31,300 --> 01:46:32,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And doon sa lending,

2325
01:46:33,180 --> 01:46:34,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: all variations,

2326
01:46:35,580 --> 01:46:36,860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: doon ko lang din narinig

2327
01:46:36,860 --> 01:46:38,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: yung mga ibang scam na

2328
01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:39,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: wala pa nung panahon

2329
01:46:39,280 --> 01:46:40,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na nag-aaral ako.

2330
01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:41,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, may mga ganoon na palang

2331
01:46:41,520 --> 01:46:42,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: scam ngayon.

2332
01:46:44,400 --> 01:46:46,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And one of the common issues

2333
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:49,180
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is yung may utang siya

2334
01:46:49,180 --> 01:46:51,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: tapos para singilin siya,

2335
01:46:51,380 --> 01:46:52,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: siniraan siya ng siniraan

2336
01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:54,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: sa Facebook, di ba?

2337
01:46:55,040 --> 01:46:56,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, my question

2338
01:46:56,060 --> 01:46:58,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to the data privacy team,

2339
01:46:58,660 --> 01:47:00,860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the National Privacy Commissioners

2340
01:47:00,860 --> 01:47:03,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is may guidelines ba tayo diyan

2341
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:04,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for the ordinary person

2342
01:47:04,080 --> 01:47:04,860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to understand?

2343
01:47:05,420 --> 01:47:06,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Because even me,

2344
01:47:06,280 --> 01:47:08,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I mean, I probably will grapple

2345
01:47:08,140 --> 01:47:10,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: with hanggang saan pwede, di ba?

2346
01:47:10,380 --> 01:47:11,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Like, what is allowed?

2347
01:47:11,420 --> 01:47:12,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What is not allowed?

2348
01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:13,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I know parang may guidelines

2349
01:47:13,920 --> 01:47:15,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: diyan sa lenders na yan, di ba?

2350
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:16,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Like, I also heard these lenders,

2351
01:47:16,660 --> 01:47:18,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: they would literally call

2352
01:47:18,220 --> 01:47:20,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: everybody in the directory

2353
01:47:20,580 --> 01:47:21,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of the person

2354
01:47:21,700 --> 01:47:24,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and tell them the circumstances

2355
01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:27,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of the borrower, no?

2356
01:47:27,240 --> 01:47:28,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, you have clear guidelines

2357
01:47:28,580 --> 01:47:28,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: on that?

2358
01:47:29,020 --> 01:47:29,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Like, may issuance kayo?

2359
01:47:30,520 --> 01:47:31,160
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Yes, Madam Chair.

2360
01:47:31,220 --> 01:47:32,180
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So, as I mentioned earlier,

2361
01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:33,660
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: we have actually have a joint circular

2362
01:47:33,660 --> 01:47:35,400
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: with the SEC and the ICT

2363
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:36,740
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: because the SEC also have

2364
01:47:36,740 --> 01:47:37,500
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: their own guidelines

2365
01:47:37,500 --> 01:47:40,100
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for the online lending platforms

2366
01:47:40,100 --> 01:47:40,960
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: that you start with them.

2367
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:42,380
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So, that joint advisory

2368
01:47:42,380 --> 01:47:43,880
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: actually consolidated

2369
01:47:43,880 --> 01:47:44,940
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: our guidelines

2370
01:47:44,940 --> 01:47:47,140
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for the online lending platforms

2371
01:47:47,140 --> 01:47:48,320
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: on what they can and cannot do.

2372
01:47:48,320 --> 01:47:48,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes, yes.

2373
01:47:48,740 --> 01:47:49,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I do recall you said that.

2374
01:47:49,980 --> 01:47:51,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But, I think my question is,

2375
01:47:52,220 --> 01:47:54,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: so now, for the borrowers,

2376
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:56,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I mean, I hold the lenders

2377
01:47:56,020 --> 01:47:57,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to a certain standard

2378
01:47:57,020 --> 01:47:57,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because you're in the business

2379
01:47:57,920 --> 01:47:58,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of lending, right?

2380
01:47:58,460 --> 01:47:58,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes.

2381
01:47:58,580 --> 01:47:59,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But, for the borrower

2382
01:47:59,960 --> 01:48:00,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na ordinary tao

2383
01:48:00,940 --> 01:48:03,500
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na umutang lang ng 1,500,

2384
01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:04,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: yung parang,

2385
01:48:04,860 --> 01:48:06,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's like basic human rights na,

2386
01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:08,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: do you have campaigns on that

2387
01:48:08,840 --> 01:48:09,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for them to know

2388
01:48:09,700 --> 01:48:10,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what their rights are?

2389
01:48:10,100 --> 01:48:10,760
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Yes, Madam Chair.

2390
01:48:10,840 --> 01:48:11,880
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So, that's also part

2391
01:48:11,880 --> 01:48:12,760
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: of the joint advisory.

2392
01:48:12,900 --> 01:48:14,000
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: But, on the part of NPC,

2393
01:48:14,100 --> 01:48:16,040
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: we actually do video shorts

2394
01:48:16,040 --> 01:48:18,200
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: so that we can inform the public,

2395
01:48:18,300 --> 01:48:18,680
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for example,

2396
01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:20,300
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: on online lending platforms.

2397
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:20,620
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So, it's on TikTok?

2398
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:23,360
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: It's on Facebook, Madam Chair.

2399
01:48:23,380 --> 01:48:23,940
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Okay, we go TikTok.

2400
01:48:23,940 --> 01:48:25,600
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: We don't have TikTok account

2401
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:26,300
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: as an NPC.

2402
01:48:26,440 --> 01:48:27,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I think you have to be

2403
01:48:27,380 --> 01:48:28,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because some,

2404
01:48:28,460 --> 01:48:29,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: yeah, a lot of,

2405
01:48:29,780 --> 01:48:30,820
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: especially when you say shorts.

2406
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:32,140
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: It's also on TikTok now.

2407
01:48:32,160 --> 01:48:32,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay, good.

2408
01:48:32,620 --> 01:48:33,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'll look it up.

2409
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:33,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'll look it up

2410
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:34,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: because I want to be sure

2411
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:34,860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that it's,

2412
01:48:35,220 --> 01:48:36,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's,

2413
01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:37,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And I think we have one

2414
01:48:37,160 --> 01:48:37,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: just recently.

2415
01:48:38,020 --> 01:48:38,220
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Yes.

2416
01:48:38,440 --> 01:48:39,700
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Just the other day, Madam Chair.

2417
01:48:39,720 --> 01:48:39,900
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Just the other day.

2418
01:48:40,480 --> 01:48:40,800
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Yes.

2419
01:48:40,980 --> 01:48:41,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

2420
01:48:41,680 --> 01:48:42,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then, question, no?

2421
01:48:42,880 --> 01:48:43,440
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: For example,

2422
01:48:44,420 --> 01:48:45,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: government official,

2423
01:48:45,880 --> 01:48:46,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: diba?

2424
01:48:46,160 --> 01:48:46,980

Senator Pia S. Cayetano: na i-report na,

01:48:48,680 --> 01:48:50,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kunyari,

2427
01:48:51,360 --> 01:48:52,720
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: whether it's the president

2428
01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:54,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: or secretary,

2429
01:48:55,020 --> 01:48:55,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: no?

2430
01:48:55,360 --> 01:48:56,200
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Na, oh, si secretary,

2431
01:48:56,340 --> 01:48:57,200

01:48:58,460 --> 01:49:01,480
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pumunta sa,

2434
01:49:01,480 --> 01:49:03,080
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: sa ganitong probinsya

2435
01:49:03,080 --> 01:49:04,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: para tingnan

01:49:04,100 --> 01:49:05,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ang ganitong

2437
01:49:05,060 --> 01:49:06,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: sitwasyon.

2438
01:49:07,140 --> 01:49:07,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay.

2439
01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:08,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That's,

2440
01:49:08,440 --> 01:49:08,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I would say,

2441
01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:10,220
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that's fair coverage

2442
01:49:10,220 --> 01:49:11,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of the news, right?

2443
01:49:11,960 --> 01:49:12,540
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Yes, Madam Chair.

2444
01:49:12,580 --> 01:49:13,140
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: At least under the

2445
01:49:13,140 --> 01:49:13,960
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Data Privacy Act,

2446
01:49:14,020 --> 01:49:14,720
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: there are exceptions

2447
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:15,440
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for journalism

2448
01:49:15,440 --> 01:49:16,560
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: as well as there are

2449
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:17,220
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: certain exceptions

2450
01:49:17,220 --> 01:49:18,340
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for government officials

2451
01:49:18,340 --> 01:49:19,160
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: performing their

2452
01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:20,040
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: public functions.

2453
01:49:20,460 --> 01:49:20,820
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: But still,

2454
01:49:20,940 --> 01:49:22,000
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: even these exercises

2455
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:22,820
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: of exemptions

2456
01:49:22,820 --> 01:49:23,480
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: on journalism

2457
01:49:23,480 --> 01:49:24,540
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: and government officials

2458
01:49:24,540 --> 01:49:25,460
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: are still, of course,

2459
01:49:25,540 --> 01:49:26,160
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: subject to the

2460
01:49:26,160 --> 01:49:27,460
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: proportionality principle.

2461
01:49:28,460 --> 01:49:30,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, if a

2462
01:49:30,140 --> 01:49:32,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: government official,

2463
01:49:33,020 --> 01:49:33,680
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: sabi mo,

2464
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:34,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: in performing

2465
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:37,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: their public functions

2466
01:49:37,520 --> 01:49:38,960
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is performing,

2467
01:49:39,300 --> 01:49:40,160
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is not performing

2468
01:49:40,160 --> 01:49:41,120
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: a public function,

2469
01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:43,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: then would you say

2470
01:49:43,300 --> 01:49:44,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that the public official

2471
01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:45,300
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: has the right

2472
01:49:45,300 --> 01:49:46,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to claim privacy?

2473
01:49:47,700 --> 01:49:48,380
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Yes, Madam Chair.

2474
01:49:48,480 --> 01:49:49,560
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Even public officials

2475
01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:50,420
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: actually do have

2476
01:49:50,420 --> 01:49:51,860
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: a semblance of privacy.

2477
01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:52,960
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So, with respect

2478
01:49:52,960 --> 01:49:54,460
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: only to public functions,

2479
01:49:54,640 --> 01:49:55,060
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: of course,

2480
01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:56,100
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: the public needs

2481
01:49:56,100 --> 01:49:57,120
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: to have knowledge on that

2482
01:49:57,120 --> 01:49:58,340
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: and that's a legitimate purpose.

2483
01:49:58,460 --> 01:49:59,740
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: On the part of the public

2484
01:49:59,740 --> 01:50:00,140
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: to know.

2485
01:50:00,500 --> 01:50:01,300
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: But on the part of

2486
01:50:01,300 --> 01:50:02,920
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: private aspects of the life

2487
01:50:02,920 --> 01:50:04,500
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: of the public official,

2488
01:50:04,580 --> 01:50:04,980
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for example,

2489
01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:05,580
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: their family.

2490
01:50:06,040 --> 01:50:07,160
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So, those are still

2491
01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:08,140
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: zones of privacy

2492
01:50:08,140 --> 01:50:09,680
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: even for a public official.

2493
01:50:09,860 --> 01:50:11,400
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, if a public official,

2494
01:50:11,820 --> 01:50:12,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: let's say,

2495
01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:13,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: would

2496
01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:16,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: attend a function

2497
01:50:16,140 --> 01:50:17,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: not necessarily aligned

2498
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:19,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: with their line of work

2499
01:50:19,040 --> 01:50:19,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but

2500
01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:21,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: masasabing public

2501
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:22,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kasi di naman nagtago,

2502
01:50:22,860 --> 01:50:23,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: eh, di ba,

2503
01:50:23,180 --> 01:50:23,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: public naman.

2504
01:50:24,900 --> 01:50:25,560
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kunyari, ako,

2505
01:50:25,740 --> 01:50:26,740
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: tumakbo ako in public

2506
01:50:26,740 --> 01:50:27,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: tapos

2507
01:50:27,260 --> 01:50:28,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: picture na ako,

2508
01:50:28,100 --> 01:50:28,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: eh,

2509
01:50:28,460 --> 01:50:28,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Panaterpia,

2510
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:30,340
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: tumakbo sa Milo Marathon.

2511
01:50:30,780 --> 01:50:31,360
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay lang naman yun.

2512
01:50:31,440 --> 01:50:32,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Well, sa totoo lang,

2513
01:50:32,140 --> 01:50:33,240
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: okay lang naman talaga sa akin.

2514
01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:33,860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm a very,

2515
01:50:33,860 --> 01:50:35,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm a very,

2516
01:50:35,200 --> 01:50:37,580
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm very proud

2517
01:50:37,580 --> 01:50:37,940
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to,

2518
01:50:37,940 --> 01:50:39,620
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to share my love

2519
01:50:39,620 --> 01:50:40,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for sports, no?

2520
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:43,100
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But if, for example,

2521
01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:45,040
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I traveled

2522
01:50:45,040 --> 01:50:46,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to watch a

2523
01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:48,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: national team perform

2524
01:50:48,140 --> 01:50:49,460

2558
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:25,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, for example,

Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ah, features a sports page.

2576
01:51:44,520 --> 01:51:44,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So,

2577
01:51:45,260 --> 01:51:45,520
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: so,

2578
01:51:46,220 --> 01:51:47,100

01:51:48,460 --> 01:51:49,420
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: They were showing that

01:51:49,420 --> 01:51:51,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I joined a sports event.

2582
01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:52,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yun yung purpose.

2583
01:51:52,740 --> 01:51:53,920
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: The taking of the photo,

2584
01:51:54,060 --> 01:51:54,440
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Madam Chair,

2585
01:51:54,460 --> 01:51:55,620
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: is actually a different

2586
01:51:55,620 --> 01:51:56,480
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: type of processing

2587
01:51:56,480 --> 01:51:57,620
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: from uploading the photo.

2588
01:51:58,240 --> 01:51:58,680
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So, again,

2589
01:51:58,880 --> 01:51:59,700
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Diyaryo pa lang nun.

2590
01:51:59,940 --> 01:52:00,100
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Yeah.

2591
01:52:00,320 --> 01:52:00,540
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So,

NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: yun yung kinaklarify din namin

2593
01:52:02,180 --> 01:52:02,800
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: in the report.

2594
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:03,840
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If it were uploaded,

2595
01:52:03,860 --> 01:52:05,240
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: then it should have had

2596
01:52:05,240 --> 01:52:06,060
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: a different basis.

2597
01:52:06,220 --> 01:52:07,080
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Why are you uploading

2598
01:52:07,080 --> 01:52:08,540
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: the photo of this individual?

2599
01:52:09,020 --> 01:52:09,800
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If it's uploaded

2600
01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:11,320
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: for news purposes

2601
01:52:11,320 --> 01:52:12,380
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: on the sports page,

2602
01:52:12,460 --> 01:52:13,000
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it's valid.

2603
01:52:13,100 --> 01:52:13,320
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Yes,

2604
01:52:13,380 --> 01:52:13,880
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: because that's

2605
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:14,880
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: journalistic exception,

2606
01:52:15,080 --> 01:52:15,480
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Madam Chair.

2607
01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:16,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, for it being,

2608
01:52:16,980 --> 01:52:18,460
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: it being, ah,

2609
01:52:18,640 --> 01:52:19,920
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: captured in an interview

2610
01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:20,540
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and then

2611
01:52:20,540 --> 01:52:21,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: journalists covered

2612
01:52:21,780 --> 01:52:22,980
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: my flight details,

2613
01:52:23,240 --> 01:52:23,600
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what's,

2614
01:52:23,600 --> 01:52:24,780
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: what's the purpose of that?

2615
01:52:25,080 --> 01:52:25,840
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Yun yung question,

2616
01:52:26,220 --> 01:52:26,680
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Madam Chair,

2617
01:52:26,780 --> 01:52:27,640
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: proportionality of

2618
01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:28,620
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: why the journalist

2619
01:52:28,620 --> 01:52:29,640
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: is disclosing

2620
01:52:29,640 --> 01:52:30,620
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: your flight details.

2621
01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:31,480
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So, again,

2622
01:52:31,580 --> 01:52:32,600
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: even the journalist...

2623
01:52:32,600 --> 01:52:33,140
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, pwede nyo

01:52:33,140 --> 01:52:33,780

01:52:35,580 --> 01:52:36,260
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: malaman yun?

2629
01:52:36,280 --> 01:52:36,980
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Yes, Madam Chair.

2630
01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:37,500
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So, that can be

2631
01:52:37,500 --> 01:52:38,420
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: a subject of a complaint

2632
01:52:38,420 --> 01:52:40,100
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: or if we capture it,

2633
01:52:40,120 --> 01:52:40,480
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for example,

2634
01:52:40,580 --> 01:52:41,020
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: through the news

2635
01:52:41,020 --> 01:52:41,500
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: because, again,

2636
01:52:41,580 --> 01:52:42,300
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: we do monitor

2637
01:52:42,300 --> 01:52:43,540

01:52:43,820 --> 01:52:44,320

01:52:45,440 --> 01:52:46,220
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: to investigations.

2642
01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:47,760
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That government official

2643
01:52:47,760 --> 01:52:49,020
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: naman is not a fugitive.

2644
01:52:49,660 --> 01:52:50,280
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Hindi naman siya

2645
01:52:50,280 --> 01:52:51,180

2646
01:52:51,820 --> 01:52:52,640
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Hindi naman kailangan

2647
01:52:52,640 --> 01:52:53,860
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: abangan ng ambulansya

2648
01:52:53,860 --> 01:52:54,660
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pagdating niya,

2649
01:52:54,780 --> 01:52:54,880
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: diba?

2650
01:52:55,060 --> 01:52:56,060
Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, ano yung purpose nun?

2651
01:52:56,160 --> 01:52:56,840
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Yes, Madam Chair.

2652
01:52:56,840 --> 01:52:57,480
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So, that's something

2653
01:52:57,480 --> 01:52:58,140
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: that's a subject

2654
01:52:58,140 --> 01:52:58,760
