Villanueva: Noong tayo po ay, siguro lahat naman nakakaalam na tayo yung nagsulong nitong Republic Act 11641, asr-000039 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:24.320 Senator Joel Villanueva: or the asr-000040 00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:27.240 Senator Joel Villanueva: establishment of the Department of Migrant Workers Act. asr-000041 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:31.460 Senator Joel Villanueva: Personal po sa atin, ang tagumpay ng departamentong ito, asr-000042 00:12:31.580 --> 00:12:38.300 Senator Joel Villanueva: kaya po every time we get an opportunity to look into this particular department, asr-000043 00:12:38.540 --> 00:12:42.040 Senator Joel Villanueva: how we can improve because there's a saying, there's always room for improvement. asr-000044 00:12:43.020 --> 00:12:47.000 Senator Joel Villanueva: Noong isinusulong po natin itong batas na ito, sinasabi po natin, asr-000045 00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:54.140 Senator Joel Villanueva: nagtatayo tayo ng isang bahay, isang tahanan sa pamahalaan para sa ating mga bagong bayani. asr-000046 00:12:54.500 --> 00:12:55.820 Senator Joel Villanueva: Sama-sama po natin, asr-000047 00:12:56.420 --> 00:13:03.140 Senator Joel Villanueva: Pinagsama-sama po natin ang iba't ibang ahensya sa isang bubong at sa ilalim po ng isang accountable leadership, asr-000048 00:13:03.940 --> 00:13:09.080 Senator Joel Villanueva: ang mga tanggapang dati ay hiwa-hiwalay ng pamahalaan. asr-000049 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.040 Senator Joel Villanueva: Hindi lamang po ito lipat bahay o pagpapalit ng karatula. asr-000050 00:13:13.220 --> 00:13:16.140 Senator Joel Villanueva: It was a promise that wherever an OFW may be, asr-000051 00:13:16.760 --> 00:13:24.120 Senator Joel Villanueva: there would be one government home ready to protect their rights and assist them from recruitment, asr-000052 00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:25.700 Senator Joel Villanueva: to reintegration. asr-000053 00:13:26.060 --> 00:13:29.720 Senator Joel Villanueva: I was looking at the fiscal year 2027, asr-000054 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:38.460 Senator Joel Villanueva: DMW and OWA have a combined proposed expenditure program of 11.615 billion pesos, asr-000055 00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:45.620 Senator Joel Villanueva: which is 129.8 million or 1.1% lower than the previous year, asr-000056 00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:48.040 Senator Joel Villanueva: which is this year, 2026 program. asr-000057 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:54.480 Senator Joel Villanueva: And of this amount, 7.267 billion will go to DMW OSEC, asr-000058 00:13:54.500 --> 00:13:58.420 Senator Joel Villanueva: and 4.349 billion will go to OWA. asr-000059 00:13:59.040 --> 00:14:02.660 Senator Joel Villanueva: Sa budget po para sa ating migrant workers, asr-000060 00:14:03.340 --> 00:14:07.440 Senator Joel Villanueva: hindi po sapat na masabing nagagastos lamang ang pondo. asr-000061 00:14:07.980 --> 00:14:13.480 Senator Joel Villanueva: Talagang ang tunay na sukatan ay yung pong kung may OFW bang naprotektahan, asr-000062 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:15.340 Senator Joel Villanueva: meron po ba tayong napauwi, asr-000063 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.740 Senator Joel Villanueva: meron po ba tayong nabigyan ng hustisya, asr-000064 00:14:18.140 --> 00:14:20.940 Senator Joel Villanueva: at natulungan na makapagsimulang muli. asr-000065 00:14:20.940 --> 00:14:23.520 Senator Joel Villanueva: And this becomes most urgent whenever, asr-000066 00:14:24.500 --> 00:14:27.880 Senator Joel Villanueva: conflict erupts overseas. asr-000067 00:14:28.420 --> 00:14:30.460 Senator Joel Villanueva: Sa tuwing may kaguluan sa Middle East, asr-000068 00:14:30.580 --> 00:14:34.680 Senator Joel Villanueva: may OFW na naghahanap ng ligtas na matutuluyan, asr-000069 00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:40.880 Senator Joel Villanueva: at may pamilyang naghihintay ng balitang makakauwi ng ligtas ang kanilang mahal sa buhay. asr-000070 00:14:41.540 --> 00:14:45.520 Senator Joel Villanueva: Mayigit po isang milyong Pilipino ang nagtatrabaho sa rehyong ito, asr-000071 00:14:45.520 --> 00:14:53.440 Senator Joel Villanueva: kaya po mahalagang patuloy po nating palaksin ang kahandaan ng ating departamento at ng OWA asr-000072 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:54.260 Senator Joel Villanueva: upang mabilis. asr-000073 00:14:54.260 --> 00:14:58.080 Senator Joel Villanueva: At sapat na matugunan ang pangangailangan ng ating mga OFW, asr-000074 00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:59.880 Senator Joel Villanueva: lalo na po sa panahong may krisis. asr-000075 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:17.900 Senator Joel Villanueva: Central to this response is the Action Fund. And the reports that this representation had received from July 2023 to July 2026, the fund assisted more than 606,000 OFWs. asr-000076 00:15:17.900 --> 00:15:38.660 Senator Joel Villanueva: And from January to July of this year alone, it provided 2.95 billion pesos in assistance to 145,448 beneficiaries. And in response to the Middle East crisis, its 2026 funding was increased to 5 billion pesos. asr-000077 00:15:39.260 --> 00:15:47.660 Senator Joel Villanueva: Sa likod po ng bawat numerong ito ay muli, isang OFW na nangangailangan ng pagpapagamot, ticket na pauwi. asr-000078 00:15:47.900 --> 00:16:01.940 Senator Joel Villanueva: Agarang saklolo. And for 2027, the Action Fund must remain adequately funded and ready for both the daily needs of distressed workers and a possible large-scale crisis. asr-000079 00:16:01.940 --> 00:16:16.940 Senator Joel Villanueva: Now, looking at OWWA's Emergency Repatriation Fund, the proposed funding is at 977.8 million, which is 24% lower than... asr-000080 00:16:17.900 --> 00:16:30.440 Senator Joel Villanueva: than its 2026 allocation. Now, we must determine whether this can meet existing needs while preserving sufficient contingency capacity for, again, another emergency. asr-000081 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:46.700 Senator Joel Villanueva: Malinaw po that our OFWs have learned, have earned that assurance. In 2025 alone, they sent home a record 39.62 billion dollars, US dollars, asr-000082 00:16:47.900 --> 00:16:53.140 Senator Joel Villanueva: personal remittances, supporting millions of families and strengthening our economy. asr-000083 00:16:53.740 --> 00:17:06.880 Senator Joel Villanueva: Kaya po, dapat sikapin nating patibayin sa pamamagitan po ng budget na ito, ang bahay na sama-sama po nating itinaguyod at itinayo para sa kanila. asr-000084 00:17:07.120 --> 00:17:15.880 Senator Joel Villanueva: Matatag ang pundasyon, sapat ang naglilingkod, bukas ang mga pintuan, at bawat piso ay may malinaw na patutunguhan. asr-000085 00:17:17.120 --> 00:17:17.880 Senator Joel Villanueva: Nasusukat din asr-000086 00:17:17.900 --> 00:17:26.300 Senator Joel Villanueva: ang resulta at OFW na tunay na natutulungan saan mang lugar na naroon sa mundong ito. asr-000087 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:43.300 Senator Joel Villanueva: Muli, marami pong salamat. At this juncture, I will give now the floor to our good secretary, our good friend, Department Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac for his presentation. asr-000088 00:17:43.740 --> 00:17:44.500 Senator Joel Villanueva: Sir, you have the floor. asr-000089 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:47.880 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair. asr-000090 00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:56.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Sir, Senator, isa po kayong tinatanaw namin bilang isa sa founding fathers and mothers of the DMW. asr-000091 00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:05.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Kung meron pong Mount Rushmore kaming itatayo sa DMW, Mr. Senator, kasama po kayo doon sa aming Mount Rushmore of Founders. asr-000092 00:18:07.120 --> 00:18:16.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At maraming salamat po sa inyong pagtanaw ng aming mga achievements and at the same time areas of improvement, ang aming kakulangan ng resources. asr-000093 00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:26.680 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: 37 billion po ang aming pino-propose at 11.602 nga po ang iginawad ng NEP. asr-000094 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:45.700 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Now, hindi po kami nagre-reklamo dahil malinaw po sa kabinete na ang aming direktiba at pinag-agrihan sa pong kabinete ay umayon po sa determinasyon ng ating mahal na kagawaran ng DBM. asr-000095 00:18:45.700 --> 00:18:47.700 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At ang Pangulo... asr-000096 00:18:47.900 --> 00:18:51.920 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ang nagpapasinaya ng ating budget sa pamahalaan. asr-000097 00:18:52.060 --> 00:19:02.100 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Kaya kami naman po ay aayon sa mga nakatalaga sa National Expenditure Program with some room for proposing. asr-000098 00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:08.320 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At ito naman po ay aming nakakoordinate din po mismo sa ating mahal na Pangulo. asr-000099 00:19:08.820 --> 00:19:13.880 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: The President is well aware of our overall needs. asr-000100 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.020 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: And that which can still be allocated. asr-000101 00:19:16.740 --> 00:19:17.880 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: In addition... asr-000102 00:19:17.900 --> 00:19:19.580 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: To the National Expenditure Program. asr-000103 00:19:19.760 --> 00:19:23.920 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, yun po ang mga iuulat namin sa inyo. asr-000104 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:30.240 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Pero si Yusek Niki, tutay po ang mag-pre-present. asr-000105 00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:40.440 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Gusto ko lang po bago i-rekomenda na ipasa kay Usec Nikki ang hapag ay gusto ko lang banggitin muli yung Action Fund. asr-000106 00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.720 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ang dami po nating natulungan, Mr. Senator. asr-000107 00:19:45.060 --> 00:19:47.820 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At alam nyo rin po ito na iuulat ko rin sa inyo. asr-000108 00:19:47.900 --> 00:19:51.760 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, daman-dama po mga OFWs talaga. asr-000109 00:19:52.760 --> 00:19:56.360 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Itong Action Fund na alam naman po natin inyong isinaisip. asr-000110 00:19:57.100 --> 00:20:05.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Itong Action Fund po ay bunga po ng inyong pagod at hirap na witness ko po ito mismo nung itinatalaga ang kagawaran. asr-000111 00:20:07.280 --> 00:20:09.740 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At gusto ko pong iulat sa inyo, Mr. Senator. asr-000112 00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:15.040 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Because of the Action Fund that you had so instituted. asr-000113 00:20:15.580 --> 00:20:16.740 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ay andami po mga OFWs. asr-000114 00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:21.260 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Over 100,000 ang nakatanggap ng financial assistance. asr-000115 00:20:22.300 --> 00:20:27.260 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: 20,000 ang legal assistance na nakatanggap. asr-000116 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:33.460 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Meron po tayong 25 legal retainers. asr-000117 00:20:34.600 --> 00:20:37.200 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At hindi po ibig sabihin yan mga abogado. asr-000118 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:38.500 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Kundi law firms. asr-000119 00:20:38.860 --> 00:20:41.680 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, with 4 or 5 lawyers per law firm. asr-000120 00:20:42.140 --> 00:20:47.200 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Higit-kumulang at least 100 lawyers ang tumutulong sa ating mga OFWs. asr-000121 00:20:47.900 --> 00:20:48.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: All around the world. asr-000122 00:20:48.900 --> 00:20:51.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Especially in the places where they are most present. asr-000123 00:20:51.900 --> 00:20:53.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: In the Middle East and in Asia. asr-000124 00:20:53.900 --> 00:20:59.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: And meron din tayong around 12 in-house lawyers. asr-000125 00:20:59.900 --> 00:21:03.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, meron tayong internal and external counsels. asr-000126 00:21:03.900 --> 00:21:06.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Sa medical, ganun na rin po. asr-000127 00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:12.400 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ganun na lamang po ang pasasalamat ng mga OFWs na tulungan natin. asr-000128 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:17.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: By way of example, meron tayong mga cancer patients na unfortunately, asr-000129 00:21:17.300 --> 00:21:20.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: naging hurub or undocumented sa Middle East. asr-000130 00:21:20.300 --> 00:21:24.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Pero dahil sa Action Fund, nakauwi po sila. asr-000131 00:21:24.300 --> 00:21:27.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Nabayaran ang kanilang kautangan sa ospital. asr-000132 00:21:27.300 --> 00:21:29.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Stage 4 cancer. asr-000133 00:21:29.300 --> 00:21:33.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Nakauwi at nakapiling ang kanilang mga pamilya sa kanilang huling sandali. asr-000134 00:21:33.300 --> 00:21:36.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At ganun na lamang malungkot na sila ay nasawi. asr-000135 00:21:36.300 --> 00:21:42.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: But ganun na lamang ang pasasalamat ng pamilya at mismo ng OFW bago siya yumao. asr-000136 00:21:42.300 --> 00:21:46.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Dahil kahit papano kapiling niya ang kanyang pamilya sa kanyang huling sandali. asr-000137 00:21:46.300 --> 00:21:53.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ehemplo lamang po ito ng ating mga natutulungan. asr-000138 00:21:53.300 --> 00:22:01.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Meron din po tayo nabibigyan ng tulong pinansyal sa mga nagsasagawa ng compassionate visits. asr-000139 00:22:01.300 --> 00:22:06.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So halimbawa po, kung covered ng insurance ang compassionate visit, asr-000140 00:22:06.300 --> 00:22:13.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: ang tanong po ay paano yung sustento po ng isang wife na dumadalo sa kanyang OFW husband sa ICU. asr-000141 00:22:13.300 --> 00:22:15.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Pagsustento, basic needs. asr-000142 00:22:15.300 --> 00:22:18.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Yun po doon pumapasok ang Action Fund. asr-000143 00:22:18.300 --> 00:22:27.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At ganoon na lamang ang kapanatagan ng kalooban ng mga pamilya, knowing na nakakadalaw sa abroad sa ICU, asr-000144 00:22:27.300 --> 00:22:32.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: nagbabantay sa ICU sa kanilang mahal sa buhay ang ating mga OFW families. asr-000145 00:22:32.300 --> 00:22:36.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ehemplo lang po ito among other things, Mr. Senator. asr-000146 00:22:36.300 --> 00:22:39.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J.

Tulfo: is an investment in the safety, dignity and future of our OFWs. asr-001321 01:16:18.580 --> 01:16:21.140 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: With that, I have some questions. asr-001322 01:16:21.140 --> 01:16:24.260 Senator Joel Villanueva: Yes, Senator Rafi. asr-001323 01:16:24.820 --> 01:16:26.540 Senator Joel Villanueva: We fully take note of your... asr-001324 01:16:26.660 --> 01:16:27.560 Senator Joel Villanueva: Four points. asr-001325 01:16:27.680 --> 01:16:36.520 Senator Joel Villanueva: Swift crisis response, safe repatriation and reintegration, support to OFWs and their families. asr-001326 01:16:36.520 --> 01:16:44.920 Senator Joel Villanueva: And I think one of the most important points you mentioned is the proper monitoring of our OFWs while they are working abroad. asr-001327 01:16:45.220 --> 01:16:47.980 Senator Joel Villanueva: You may proceed with your questions, Senator Rafi. asr-001328 01:16:48.060 --> 01:16:48.800 Senator Raffy T.

Tulfo: Malit na nga, lalong niliitan. asr-001331 01:16:55.380 --> 01:16:56.000 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Anong nangyari? asr-001332 01:16:56.000 --> 01:16:57.460 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Anong nangyari sa DBM? asr-001333 01:16:57.620 --> 01:16:58.940 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Nasaan ang DBM natin dito? asr-001334 01:17:00.260 --> 01:17:02.200 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Siguro walang kamaganak ng OFW to. asr-001335 01:17:02.660 --> 01:17:03.740 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Bukta ng DBM na to. asr-001336 01:17:05.100 --> 01:17:10.660 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: But, yeah, 37.6 billion ang inyong proposed budget, Secretary Hans. asr-001337 01:17:12.320 --> 01:17:17.000 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: And yung Sagaan, 2026, na-approval 11.7. asr-001338 01:17:18.300 --> 01:17:22.560 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Mas lumit pa pagdating sa NEP, DBM approval 11.6. asr-001339 01:17:22.560 --> 01:17:23.640 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Ano pong binigay na reason? asr-001340 01:17:23.720 --> 01:17:25.560 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Meron ba binigay na reason ng DBM? asr-001341 01:17:26.000 --> 01:17:32.460 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ah, Mr. Chair, ang sa pagkakaalam ko po, ah, mawalang gahalang sa DBM, asr-001342 01:17:32.620 --> 01:17:36.760 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: but ang pagkaalam ko, they were looking at previous historical utilization, asr-001343 01:17:37.080 --> 01:17:41.380 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: kung saan medyo mababata-bata pa sa edad ang departamento namin. asr-001344 01:17:41.820 --> 01:17:45.180 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ah, 2023, 2024, ah, utilization. asr-001345 01:17:45.620 --> 01:17:49.660 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Pero definitely, Mr. Chair, ah, we hit our stride in 2025. asr-001346 01:17:49.660 --> 01:17:55.960 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ah, kung saan ang utilization namin, nearly 100%, including the continuing appropriation, asr-001347 01:17:56.000 --> 01:17:56.740 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: from 2024. asr-001348 01:17:57.260 --> 01:17:59.340 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: And then, definitely, Mr. Chair, ubos po. asr-001349 01:17:59.800 --> 01:18:06.000 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ah, kami ni Admin PY, ah, ubos ang aming pondo, ah, dahil sa U.S.-Israel-Iran War. asr-001350 01:18:06.440 --> 01:18:11.720 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ah, but mukhang lagpas na po yata sa utilization review. asr-001351 01:18:12.240 --> 01:18:15.020 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Itong mga period na binabanggit ko. asr-001352 01:18:15.560 --> 01:18:21.080 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At, ah, the DBM, ah, of course, ah, they are our partners also, ah, Mr. Chair, Secretary Kim. asr-001353 01:18:21.080 --> 01:18:21.880 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Hindi ka nag-appeal. asr-001354 01:18:22.060 --> 01:18:22.320 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Opo. asr-001355 01:18:22.540 --> 01:18:22.760 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sek. asr-001356 01:18:22.760 --> 01:18:25.760 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ah, nag-appeal din po, Mr. Senator. asr-001357 01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:33.600 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Senator, ah, ah, we, we did as much as we could, ah, but, but, ah, yes, we, we sought asr-001358 01:18:33.600 --> 01:18:38.560 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: reconsideration, ah, but Mr. Senator, ah, myself and Secretary Kim are one team under asr-001359 01:18:38.560 --> 01:18:39.120 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: the President. asr-001360 01:18:39.300 --> 01:18:43.780 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, ah, I will always, ah, submit to, to the DBM's determination. asr-001361 01:18:44.140 --> 01:18:49.740 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: But, of course, we come, sumasumamo po kami sa inyo, ah, Mr. Senator, dahil, ah, 2 billion asr-001362 01:18:49.740 --> 01:18:55.840 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: po between Admin PY and ourselves, ah, 2 billion pong hinihingi namin, bali 4 billion pong karagdagan. asr-001363 01:18:56.260 --> 01:19:02.060 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Mr. Chair, ah, kasi, almost every day, sa program ako, sumanda sila sa Action Center, asr-001364 01:19:02.540 --> 01:19:06.800 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: manayin pupunta naman kapag-anak ng OFW natin na they wanted to be repatriated, yung kanilang asr-001365 01:19:06.800 --> 01:19:09.200 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: relatives doon na inabuso kadalasan. asr-001366 01:19:09.980 --> 01:19:14.040 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Ah, hindi maganda yung kalagayan at pagtrato at nakakaawa talaga. asr-001367 01:19:14.140 --> 01:19:19.520 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Eh, nakikita ko naman yung DMW natin at OFW, ayaw yung, yung OWA, eh, nagtatrabaho naman talaga asr-001368 01:19:19.520 --> 01:19:21.260 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: to ensure na sila'y mapabalik dito. asr-001369 01:19:21.940 --> 01:19:25.820 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At, ah, malaking pakinabang talaga ng mga OFW sa dalawang nabanggit. asr-001370 01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:50.620 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Ito yung mga agency or department. The problem lang here is kulang sa budget ngayon sa nakikita ko. Paano silang makagalaw kung tali naman yung kanilang mga kamay when it comes to budget dahil imbis na i-consider ng DPM at pag-aralan yung kanilang proposed budget, pinutulan pa. asr-001371 01:19:50.620 --> 01:20:06.220 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Now, Mr. Chair, dito sa 2 billion na nirequest nila, 1 billion sa Action Fund, sa DMW ito, 1 billion sa MOOE, and then sa OWWA, 2 billion, 500 for Emergency Repatriation Fund. Hindi pa kayong pagbigyan ito? asr-001372 01:20:08.600 --> 01:20:19.220 Senator Joel Villanueva: Mr. Senator, if I will be asked about it, I am fully supporting it and with your help, we will fight for it in the budget deliberation. asr-001373 01:20:19.220 --> 01:20:40.000 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: So how do we go about na i-push natin ito? Ito sa mga tinatawag nating makabagong bayani at alam naman natin kahit na noong pampanahon ay nagkagewang-gewang na ekonomiya ng mundo, nagkaroon ng world crisis, lumulutang-lutang pa rin tayo dahil nandiyan po yung ating mga OFWs na nakapack up, nakasuporta sa atin through their remittances. asr-001374 01:20:40.400 --> 01:20:48.080 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Ngayon, kailangan nila natin tulong through the DMW and OWA. Siguro naman, we really need to support. asr-001375 01:20:49.220 --> 01:20:58.160 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: The DMW and OWA na sila nagkaalaga sa ating mga OFWs. So how do we go about pagdating sa budget deliberation? May ibigay itong 2 billion? asr-001376 01:20:58.160 --> 01:21:08.940 Senator Joel Villanueva: Yes, tama po kayo. Record high yung pinapadala ng OFWs na 39.62 billion US dollars in personal remittances. asr-001377 01:21:08.940 --> 01:21:19.200 Senator Joel Villanueva: Ang sa atin lang po ay alam nyo naman how budgeting works when you increase the budget of a particular agency or increase. asr-001378 01:21:19.220 --> 01:21:27.020 Senator Joel Villanueva: The budget of an item here, we have to find out saan natin na po pwedeng kuhanin. asr-001379 01:21:27.200 --> 01:21:38.680 Senator Joel Villanueva: Isa po kanina dun sa napag-usapan nga natin, isa sa nakita natin kanina, Senator Rafi, merong nilagyan ng pondo yung personal services pero wala namang item. asr-001380 01:21:38.680 --> 01:21:47.040 Senator Joel Villanueva: So mukhang hindi nila mapapakinabangan yung dinagdag na pondo dun sa OWA dahil wala namang item, wala namang plantilya. asr-001381 01:21:47.040 --> 01:21:57.760 Senator Joel Villanueva: So that's 200 million already, but according to our friends from OWA, kung malabas naman yung plantilya, kaya nilang punan ito. asr-001382 01:21:57.920 --> 01:22:14.620 Senator Joel Villanueva: So we'll find ways and of course with your help and the support of Senator Javis, our finance chair, he gave me assurance that he will join us later on today as we look into the budget of DMW and OWA. asr-001383 01:22:14.620 --> 01:22:16.840 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Okay, thank you. Dalawang tanong na lamang. asr-001384 01:22:17.040 --> 01:22:37.760 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Mr. Chair, Sec. Hans, doon po sa mga seafarers natin na ayaw maglayag dahil doon sa mga drone strikes, natakot sila, ayaw nilang pumalaot, ito mga tripulanting ito, anong tulong ang pwedeng maibigay sa mga ito? asr-001385 01:22:39.460 --> 01:22:46.380 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Yes po, ang bilang po natin, Mr. Senator, Mr. Chair, is 1,500 po. asr-001388 01:22:46.680 --> 01:22:55.000 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: In the last three years, na itinalaga natin yung issuance natin, pagkilala ng right to refuse sailing, 1,500 po ang nag-manifest. asr-001389 01:22:55.340 --> 01:23:05.580 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: However, Mr. Senator, nakalagay po doon sa 1,500, nakalagay po sa rules natin on right to refuse sailing, they should not be discriminated against. asr-001390 01:23:06.620 --> 01:23:16.020 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At ang magandang balita po dito, the 1,500 who have been reported to us and affirmed by their respective license mining agencies, hindi naman po silang pinagbabawalan. asr-001391 01:23:16.020 --> 01:23:34.080 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, as far as we know, wala pong naapekto hang nag-exercise ng right to refuse sailing dahil marami naman pong rota ang mga shipping lines at they are just merely transferred from one voyage, one assignment to another. asr-001392 01:23:35.220 --> 01:23:44.980 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: But having said that, yun pong mga umuuwi ay binibigyan po natin ng action fund benefit as they come home, Mr. Senator. asr-001393 01:23:46.020 --> 01:23:59.940 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Second, saan pa mas mga kamura tayo yung marami tayong tie-up sa mga different hotels partners natin kapag may mga dumarating ng mga OFWs before they are sent back to their homes in the provinces? asr-001394 01:24:00.620 --> 01:24:11.080 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: So, chine-check-in sila sa tulad ng kabayano, hotel and all other hotels versus kung tayo ay magtayo ng mga accommodation houses. asr-001395 01:24:11.540 --> 01:24:15.840 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kasi paano kung puno yung hotel at that time dumating ng mga OFWs, marami sila, kunyari 20 eh. asr-001396 01:24:16.020 --> 01:24:17.960 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Wala na palang room na available. asr-001397 01:24:18.780 --> 01:24:28.920 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kung tayo ay magtatayo ng sarili natin mga accommodation houses para sa mga repatriated OFWs papunta probinsya, which one sa tingin ninyo mas more practical? asr-001398 01:24:29.180 --> 01:24:32.260 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Yung mag-tie-up sa mga hotel o magpatayo tayo ng mga accommodation houses? asr-001399 01:24:32.260 --> 01:24:36.020 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ako pong tingin ko po dyan at ito lumabas na yung issue neto ng COVID. asr-001400 01:24:37.180 --> 01:24:43.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Kung ang scale po ng repatriation is a global pandemic o a global conflict, global crisis, asr-001401 01:24:44.060 --> 01:24:45.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: kung saan libo o daang libo asr-001402 01:24:46.020 --> 01:24:50.660 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: ang umuuwi, mainam po na yung private sector po ang mag-handle. asr-001403 01:24:50.760 --> 01:24:55.320 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Yung hospitality sector who has greater expertise sa pangangalaga ng tao. asr-001404 01:24:55.420 --> 01:24:56.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Katulad nung nangyari po sa COVID. asr-001405 01:24:57.680 --> 01:25:06.140 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At hindi po kaya ng gobyerno na magtayo ng accommodation with let's say 1,000, 2,000, 10,000 rooms. asr-001406 01:25:06.780 --> 01:25:09.420 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Wala po yan sa linya ng trabaho ng gobyerno. asr-001407 01:25:09.520 --> 01:25:12.580 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: I think in the past, sinubukan na po yan, government-run hotels. asr-001408 01:25:12.580 --> 01:25:15.820 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At eventually, tinurn over din po sa private sector. asr-001409 01:25:16.020 --> 01:25:24.320 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: However, Mr. Senator, Mr. Chair, ay pwede naman po sa tingin ko, kasi ginawa na rin po ng OWA ito, asr-001410 01:25:24.680 --> 01:25:30.700 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: pwede naman po magpatakbo itong plano na rin ni Admin PY ito, ng smaller scale. asr-001411 01:25:30.940 --> 01:25:38.840 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So halimbawa, kung 50 rooms, 25 to 50 rooms, pansamantalang paglalagyan, pwede naman po yun. asr-001412 01:25:38.960 --> 01:25:43.360 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Pero on a bigger scale, sa tingin ko po, hindi kaya ng pamahalaan ito. asr-001413 01:25:43.360 --> 01:25:44.320 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: It's not sustainable. asr-001414 01:25:44.320 --> 01:26:01.700 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At ang katapusan po niyan, Mr. Senator, Mr. Chair, ay magre-reklamo rin po yung mga tao na hindi nasa antas ng hospitality sector standards ang pangangalaga sa kanila. asr-001415 01:26:01.820 --> 01:26:08.320 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So sa tingin ko po, on a smaller scale, yes, pwede po hawakan ng DMW o ng OWA. asr-001416 01:26:08.320 --> 01:26:14.320 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Pero kung pangmalawa ka na po ito, sa tingin ko, the private sector is best suited. asr-001417 01:26:14.420 --> 01:26:15.360 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: to take care of them. asr-001418 01:26:15.420 --> 01:26:21.180 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Kabayan Hotel, most notably, has been a foremost lodging space for them. asr-001419 01:26:22.160 --> 01:26:26.540 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Si Mr. Chair, narinig ko, nagtatanong siya, galing sa kanya itong katanungan. asr-001420 01:26:26.640 --> 01:26:26.960 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Ano na rin? asr-001421 01:26:29.720 --> 01:26:32.660 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Ano na rin nangyari dun sa kaso ng... asr-001422 01:26:32.660 --> 01:26:35.280 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Sa halfway house ni Mr. Ignacio. asr-001423 01:26:37.160 --> 01:26:39.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Naglabas po ang Ombudsman ng resolution. asr-001424 01:26:41.040 --> 01:26:44.280 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Una, recommending the filing of... asr-001425 01:26:44.320 --> 01:26:50.040 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Not recommending, but directing the filing of a case for usurpation of official functions. asr-001426 01:26:50.700 --> 01:26:56.700 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Dahil pumirma po siya ng deed of sale na walang authority ng OWA Board of Trustees. asr-001427 01:26:57.740 --> 01:27:08.400 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: However, dinispis po yung aspeto ng plunder at saka Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. asr-001428 01:27:08.400 --> 01:27:09.400 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Na yun po ang minomotion. asr-001429 01:27:10.160 --> 01:27:13.580 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Nag-file po kami motion for reconsideration. asr-001430 01:27:14.320 --> 01:27:17.100 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: At ako po mismo ang personal na nag-file nung motion na ito. asr-001431 01:27:17.220 --> 01:27:21.180 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Kasi po, bahagi nung binili nila supposedly, asr-001432 01:27:22.040 --> 01:27:24.200 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: are condominium units. asr-001433 01:27:27.060 --> 01:27:27.740 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: 52? asr-001434 01:27:27.740 --> 01:27:30.080 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: 50 titles. asr-001435 01:27:30.800 --> 01:27:32.780 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Na nung nagkabayaran po, asr-001436 01:27:33.700 --> 01:27:38.120 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: strangely, giniba yung condominium na yun. asr-001437 01:27:38.700 --> 01:27:42.140 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Eh, ang problema, those titles were transferred to the government. asr-001438 01:27:43.200 --> 01:27:43.740 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, lumalabas. asr-001439 01:27:44.320 --> 01:27:48.020 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Nag-ghost purchase po yung 52 condominium units. asr-001440 01:27:48.240 --> 01:27:51.940 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Mukhang hindi po na-pass upan yun ng Ubudzman sa resolution. asr-001441 01:27:52.840 --> 01:27:54.020 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Baka nakaligtaan lang. asr-001442 01:27:54.280 --> 01:27:57.000 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Kaya sa motion for reconsideration namin, binabalikan po yun. asr-001443 01:27:57.080 --> 01:27:59.220 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Kasi halagang 97 million pesos po yun. asr-001444 01:27:59.940 --> 01:28:03.300 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Dagdag sa purchase price po na 97 million pesos yun. asr-001445 01:28:03.300 --> 01:28:09.180 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Na kung pupuntahan niyo yung lugar, wala po kayong makikitang condominium na nakatayo dun ngayon. asr-001446 01:28:09.200 --> 01:28:09.640 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Thank you. asr-001447 01:28:09.800 --> 01:28:14.100 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: At before I go, Mr. Chair, I'd like to reiterate again. asr-001448 01:28:14.320 --> 01:28:21.000 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: My full and firm support sa budget ng ating DMW at OWA at pagdating sa plenary sa budget. asr-001449 01:28:21.000 --> 01:28:29.480 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: I hope lahat ng mga kasamahan nating senador, especially you, na susuportahan itong dagdag budget. asr-001450 01:28:29.600 --> 01:28:34.420 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: Kahit man lang ito 2 billion, 2 billion sa DMW and 2 billion sa OWA. asr-001451 01:28:35.200 --> 01:28:36.760 Senator Raffy T. Tulfo: That's all, Mr. Chair. Thank you. asr-001452 01:28:36.800 --> 01:28:39.220 Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you.

Maraming salamat. asr-001455 01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:56.180 Senator Joel Villanueva: Let me, I don't know how to start, but let me, first things first, no? Siguro. asr-001456 01:28:57.500 --> 01:29:04.120 Senator Joel Villanueva: Una, thank you for your update dun sa supposed to be halfway house, no? asr-001457 01:29:04.220 --> 01:29:09.000 Senator Joel Villanueva: That's, what is it called? Halfway house for OFWs? Ano bang tawag? asr-001458 01:29:09.000 --> 01:29:11.440 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Yan po ang tawag niya dun. Yan po ang tawag niya. asr-001459 01:29:11.860 --> 01:29:14.000 Senator Joel Villanueva: And precisely... asr-001460 01:29:14.320 --> 01:29:19.120 Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung tanong ko ni Sen. Rafi, Chair Rafi, yan po ang isa sa mga pinagdibatihan namin noon. asr-001461 01:29:19.200 --> 01:29:25.400 Senator Joel Villanueva: But all the same, I was not in agreement, which required my signature in a Board of Resolution, asr-001462 01:29:25.760 --> 01:29:31.400 Senator Joel Villanueva: but he still proceeded to purchase the property for 1.4 billion pesos without proper authority. asr-001463 01:29:36.340 --> 01:29:43.400 Senator Joel Villanueva: Let me go now to the possibility as to why DBM did not allow the... asr-001464 01:29:44.320 --> 01:29:49.980 Senator Joel Villanueva: ...the increase in budget for both the DMW and the OWA, no? asr-001465 01:29:50.220 --> 01:29:56.460 Senator Joel Villanueva: I was looking at the budget performance and the institutional capacity of the department. asr-001466 01:29:56.460 --> 01:29:59.460 Senator Joel Villanueva: And in this particular... asr-001467 01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:02.580 Senator Joel Villanueva: data, the asr-001468 01:30:02.580 --> 01:30:04.700 Senator Joel Villanueva: DMW's 2025 asr-001469 01:30:04.700 --> 01:30:06.780 Senator Joel Villanueva: obligation to appropriations asr-001470 01:30:06.780 --> 01:30:08.780 Senator Joel Villanueva: ratio improved to 85.5%. asr-001471 01:30:09.780 --> 01:30:10.720 Senator Joel Villanueva: And asr-001472 01:30:10.720 --> 01:30:12.720 Senator Joel Villanueva: that's good news. But asr-001473 01:30:12.720 --> 01:30:14.780 Senator Joel Villanueva: there's also 1.851 asr-001474 01:30:15.560 --> 01:30:16.840 Senator Joel Villanueva: billion remained asr-001475 01:30:16.840 --> 01:30:18.640 Senator Joel Villanueva: unused. Now, yung asr-001476 01:30:18.640 --> 01:30:21.380 Senator Joel Villanueva: O1 naman, may 77.7% asr-001477 01:30:21.380 --> 01:30:22.560 Senator Joel Villanueva: disbursement rate asr-001478 01:30:22.560 --> 01:30:24.680 Senator Joel Villanueva: remained asr-001479 01:30:24.680 --> 01:30:26.620 Senator Joel Villanueva: below the OSEC's asr-001480 01:30:26.620 --> 01:30:28.580 Senator Joel Villanueva: 85.6%. asr-001481 01:30:28.580 --> 01:30:30.560 Senator Joel Villanueva: So, ito asr-001482 01:30:30.560 --> 01:30:32.660 Senator Joel Villanueva: ba ang possibility asr-001483 01:30:32.660 --> 01:30:34.660 Senator Joel Villanueva: na dahilan? Because asr-001484 01:30:34.660 --> 01:30:36.160 Senator Joel Villanueva: I also agree na asr-001485 01:30:36.160 --> 01:30:38.800 Senator Joel Villanueva: we are still a new department. asr-001486 01:30:39.360 --> 01:30:40.700 Senator Joel Villanueva: There will be birth pains asr-001487 01:30:40.700 --> 01:30:41.380 Senator Joel Villanueva: for sure. asr-001488 01:30:42.760 --> 01:30:44.660 Senator Joel Villanueva: But of course, if we can asr-001489 01:30:44.660 --> 01:30:46.820 Senator Joel Villanueva: sway and asr-001490 01:30:46.820 --> 01:30:48.500 Senator Joel Villanueva: persuade and convince asr-001491 01:30:48.500 --> 01:30:49.240 Senator Joel Villanueva: our asr-001492 01:30:49.240 --> 01:30:52.420 Senator Joel Villanueva: counterparts in the asr-001493 01:30:52.420 --> 01:30:54.740 Senator Joel Villanueva: Department of Budget and Management asr-001494 01:30:54.740 --> 01:30:56.560 Senator Joel Villanueva: and this time asr-001495 01:30:56.560 --> 01:30:57.680 Senator Joel Villanueva: our asr-001496 01:30:57.680 --> 01:31:00.460 Senator Joel Villanueva: chairperson of the Senate Committee asr-001497 01:31:00.460 --> 01:31:02.240 Senator Joel Villanueva: on Finance as to how asr-001498 01:31:02.240 --> 01:31:04.240 Senator Joel Villanueva: will the DMW and asr-001499 01:31:04.240 --> 01:31:06.200 Senator Joel Villanueva: OWA will be able to asr-001500 01:31:06.200 --> 01:31:07.020 Senator Joel Villanueva: ensure that asr-001501 01:31:07.020 --> 01:31:10.240 Senator Joel Villanueva: improved obligation and asr-001502 01:31:10.240 --> 01:31:12.120 Senator Joel Villanueva: disbursement rates will translate asr-001503 01:31:12.120 --> 01:31:14.200 Senator Joel Villanueva: into complete and timely asr-001504 01:31:14.200 --> 01:31:16.200 Senator Joel Villanueva: services for our OFWs. asr-001505 01:31:16.780 --> 01:31:17.840 Senator Joel Villanueva: Can you give us asr-001506 01:31:17.840 --> 01:31:19.700 Senator Joel Villanueva: in short, my question is asr-001507 01:31:19.700 --> 01:31:22.100 Senator Joel Villanueva: can you give us ammunitions and how we'll be asr-001508 01:31:22.100 --> 01:31:24.140 Senator Joel Villanueva: able to convince asr-001509 01:31:24.140 --> 01:31:26.320 Senator Joel Villanueva: them?

I mean, I don't want to sound any asr-001582 01:33:49.680 --> 01:33:51.340 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: alarms to our OFWs. asr-001583 01:33:51.780 --> 01:33:53.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J.

Cacdac: where they are, protected by their host asr-001585 01:33:55.560 --> 01:33:57.040 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: countries, I hope I'm not taken asr-001586 01:33:57.680 --> 01:33:59.980 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: mistakenly asr-001587 01:33:59.980 --> 01:34:01.900 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: about this. But, it's good asr-001588 01:34:01.900 --> 01:34:03.240 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: to be prepared, Mr. Senator. asr-001589 01:34:03.480 --> 01:34:05.860 Senator Joel Villanueva: Definitely, no? Yun yung gusto natin asr-001590 01:34:05.860 --> 01:34:07.680 Senator Joel Villanueva: i-point out dito na handa asr-001591 01:34:07.680 --> 01:34:09.420 Senator Joel Villanueva: tayo, hindi tayo nasusurpresa asr-001592 01:34:09.420 --> 01:34:11.440 Senator Joel Villanueva: at yung budget natin asr-001593 01:34:11.440 --> 01:34:13.720 Senator Joel Villanueva: flexible din kung may asr-001594 01:34:13.720 --> 01:34:15.020 Senator Joel Villanueva: kailangan gawin at asr-001595 01:34:15.020 --> 01:34:17.940 Senator Joel Villanueva: kailangan punuan. I remember asr-001596 01:34:17.940 --> 01:34:19.280 Senator Joel Villanueva: few years back asr-001597 01:34:19.280 --> 01:34:20.640 Senator Joel Villanueva: when I was asr-001598 01:34:20.640 --> 01:34:22.240 Senator Joel Villanueva: also asr-001599 01:34:22.240 --> 01:34:25.540 Senator Joel Villanueva: sponsoring the budget of asr-001600 01:34:25.540 --> 01:34:27.340 Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm not sure if there's a asr-001601 01:34:27.340 --> 01:34:29.300 Senator Joel Villanueva: department din, when I was asr-001602 01:34:29.300 --> 01:34:30.840 Senator Joel Villanueva: sponsoring your budget and asr-001603 01:34:30.840 --> 01:34:33.700 Senator Joel Villanueva: someone asr-001604 01:34:33.700 --> 01:34:35.160 Senator Joel Villanueva: mentioned or asr-001605 01:34:35.160 --> 01:34:36.640 Senator Joel Villanueva: suggested that we asr-001606 01:34:36.640 --> 01:34:39.380 Senator Joel Villanueva: touch the trust fund asr-001607 01:34:39.380 --> 01:34:40.800 Senator Joel Villanueva: of OWA. asr-001608 01:34:41.320 --> 01:34:43.100 Senator Joel Villanueva: And I vehemently asr-001609 01:34:43.100 --> 01:34:45.200 Senator Joel Villanueva: said no way because asr-001610 01:34:45.200 --> 01:34:47.040 Senator Joel Villanueva: we don't know what could asr-001611 01:34:47.040 --> 01:34:49.560 Senator Joel Villanueva: happen. And true enough asr-001612 01:34:49.560 --> 01:34:51.540 Senator Joel Villanueva: afterwards, yun na yata asr-001613 01:34:51.540 --> 01:34:52.200 Senator Joel Villanueva: yun, yung asr-001614 01:34:52.200 --> 01:34:54.840 Senator Joel Villanueva: nangyaring gera. asr-001615 01:34:54.840 --> 01:34:56.860 Senator Joel Villanueva: And that's why asr-001616 01:34:57.340 --> 01:34:58.400 Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm interested in that. asr-001617 01:35:00.100 --> 01:35:00.920 Senator Joel Villanueva: And but, you know, asr-001618 01:35:01.000 --> 01:35:01.860 Senator Joel Villanueva: looking at the asr-001619 01:35:01.860 --> 01:35:04.860 Senator Joel Villanueva: figures, and please asr-001620 01:35:04.860 --> 01:35:06.480 Senator Joel Villanueva: again, allow me to asr-001621 01:35:06.480 --> 01:35:08.940 Senator Joel Villanueva: share this with all of you because I'm a asr-001622 01:35:08.940 --> 01:35:11.080 Senator Joel Villanueva: believer of the department, supporter asr-001623 01:35:11.080 --> 01:35:12.980 Senator Joel Villanueva: of the department, supporter of asr-001624 01:35:12.980 --> 01:35:14.920 Senator Joel Villanueva: OWA. I wanted to asr-001625 01:35:14.920 --> 01:35:16.860 Senator Joel Villanueva: be adept asr-001626 01:35:16.860 --> 01:35:18.980 Senator Joel Villanueva: and I wanted to make sure asr-001627 01:35:18.980 --> 01:35:20.940 Senator Joel Villanueva: they have all the ammunitions that asr-001628 01:35:20.940 --> 01:35:22.940 Senator Joel Villanueva: I need to asr-001629 01:35:22.940 --> 01:35:24.560 Senator Joel Villanueva: defend the budget, defend asr-001630 01:35:24.560 --> 01:35:26.560 Senator Joel Villanueva: the request asr-001631 01:35:27.340 --> 01:35:30.080 Senator Joel Villanueva: of DMW and OWA. asr-001632 01:35:30.100 --> 01:35:31.900 Senator Joel Villanueva: Because if you look at for example, the asr-001633 01:35:31.900 --> 01:35:34.340 Senator Joel Villanueva: June 30, 2026 asr-001634 01:35:34.340 --> 01:35:36.180 Senator Joel Villanueva: data wherein asr-001635 01:35:36.180 --> 01:35:38.320 Senator Joel Villanueva: 61.98% asr-001636 01:35:38.320 --> 01:35:39.860 Senator Joel Villanueva: of DMW's release asr-001637 01:35:39.860 --> 01:35:42.560 Senator Joel Villanueva: allotments had been obligated asr-001638 01:35:42.560 --> 01:35:44.000 Senator Joel Villanueva: may natiri pa po na asr-001639 01:35:44.000 --> 01:35:45.980 Senator Joel Villanueva: 5.82 billion na asr-001640 01:35:45.980 --> 01:35:47.840 Senator Joel Villanueva: available for utilization. asr-001641 01:35:48.860 --> 01:35:50.080 Senator Joel Villanueva: And then OSEC had asr-001642 01:35:50.080 --> 01:35:52.120 Senator Joel Villanueva: 3.4 billion asr-001643 01:35:52.120 --> 01:35:53.640 Senator Joel Villanueva: and OWA has asr-001644 01:35:53.640 --> 01:35:55.700 Senator Joel Villanueva: 1.625 billion asr-001645 01:35:55.700 --> 01:35:56.540 Senator Joel Villanueva: remaining. asr-001646 01:35:57.340 --> 01:36:14.060 Senator Joel Villanueva: Ito po yung galing sa LBRMO na ibinigay po sa atin. And I just wanted to find out kung ito ba ay still the same figure or I hope and pray na malaki na yung pinagbago. asr-001647 01:36:14.060 --> 01:36:42.180 Senator Joel Villanueva: And at the same time, if again, talking about ammunitions, if you can give this representation a program that would support your catch-up plans, kung ito man ay totoong numero and timelines that are in place, then we would be able to persuade them to support our request. asr-001648 01:36:42.180 --> 01:36:43.300 Senator Joel Villanueva: Yes, Secretary? asr-001649 01:36:43.300 --> 01:36:45.340 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: May I just make a quick addition? asr-001650 01:36:45.960 --> 01:36:48.260 Senator Joel Villanueva: Yes, and then we give the floor to Admin. asr-001651 01:36:48.940 --> 01:37:04.620 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Another justification why it's worthy to invest in OFWs is despite what happened in the first half of 2026, ay lumaki pa rin ho ang remittances by around 2.5%. asr-001652 01:37:04.620 --> 01:37:13.120 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Now, it's way off the projections by around 0.5%, but it's still positive. It's still on the positive side. asr-001653 01:37:13.300 --> 01:37:27.220 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: In COVID, remittances dropped by negative 1%. Medyo maliit pa rin. But still, on the positive side, and still affirms yung tinatawag na counter-cyclical nature of OFW remittances. asr-001654 01:37:27.220 --> 01:37:41.220 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ibig sabihin, hindi sumasabay sa pagbagsak ng global economy ang OFW remittances. Sa halip, nagbibigay, nagpapadala pa sila lalo ng halaga ng pera sa ating bayan. So it's very worthy to invest in OFWs. asr-001655 01:37:41.220 --> 01:37:43.220 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Yes, there's absolutely nothing wrong. asr-001656 01:37:43.300 --> 01:37:54.040 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: With investing budget and support for programs and services for OFWs, because tama po, they sustain the economy as mentioned by this August Committee, Mr. Chair. asr-001657 01:37:54.980 --> 01:37:57.620 Senator Joel Villanueva: Yes, Atty. Kaunan, please. asr-001658 01:37:57.620 --> 01:38:12.540 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Mr. Chair, with the permission of the Secretary, as regards to utilization of OWAS, may I first focus on the Emergency Repatriation Fund. Pangalan pa lang po, by nature, kung ako lang po, dapat ko sana. asr-001659 01:38:13.300 --> 01:38:28.680 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: In a perfect world, Mr. Chair, walang magasos noon. Ibig sabihin, walang naging problema, walang naging emergency. Every year po, iba ang itsura or landscape ng mga iba't-ibang emergencies that we're facing. asr-001660 01:38:29.300 --> 01:38:41.820 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: So, for last year, iba po ang last year sa this year at iba ang this year sa next year. But ang pwede po natin gawin, and as we have always done, is to be ready. asr-001661 01:38:41.820 --> 01:39:03.400 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Because we don't know what's happening. One of the things that I want to mention, Mr. Chair, when we talk about numbers, is number one, both DMW and OWA, we already fully obligated and utilized our action fund and ERF, yung original po naming appropriation. asr-001662 01:39:03.400 --> 01:39:31.520 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: That's why we ask for supplemental for this year. On supplemental, Mr. Chair, 18% na po ng supplemental, which is on the part of the ERF, 700 million, 18% po doon obligated na. Ang unobligated na lang po ay 575 million na yun po ay napaka-importante kasi ilan pa pong buwan ang meron ngayong taong ito. asr-001663 01:39:31.520 --> 01:39:58.060 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: As to absorptive capacity of the agency of OWA, Mr. Chair, as of August 31, 2026, hindi lang po ang ERF kundi yung buong current appropriation ng OWA, ang utilization rate na po natin ay 72%. In other words, Mr. Chair, more than on track na po tayo para sa isang magandang utilization rate for the year. asr-001664 01:39:58.060 --> 01:40:01.500 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: But as I said, pag sinasabi natin, matatagal. asr-001665 01:40:01.520 --> 01:40:19.600 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Masang utilization, Mr. Chair, ibig sabihin marami yung emergencies at maraming problema ang sinasagot at sinusolusyonan. So yun po ang special nature siguro, Mr. Chair, ng both action fund and emergency repatriation. It is really the cost of being ready. asr-001666 01:40:19.980 --> 01:40:31.060 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: And if I may add, Mr. Chair, this is on record. We have requested, we requested for supplemental budget for the emergency repatriation fund. asr-001667 01:40:31.060 --> 01:40:49.520 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: And I believe the action fund. As early as April of this year, we even, I think, sent a correspondence to the DBM as early as I think late March. March, which is three months lang pong nakalipas dun sa taong ito. asr-001668 01:40:49.520 --> 01:41:00.980 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: We already requested and we have received on the part of OWA the supplemental budget, I think by end of July or first week of August. asr-001669 01:41:01.060 --> 01:41:18.640 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: So, importante po sa amin na kung tatanungin niyo po ako, Mr. Chair, at the rate of utilization or obligation of OWA right now of 206 million of the ERF every year, every month. asr-001670 01:41:18.640 --> 01:41:29.820 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Next year po, kung 900 plus million, mga ano lang po yan, mga 4.7 months. asr-001671 01:41:29.820 --> 01:41:39.820 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: At yung dinadagdag po namin 500 million, mga kulang-kulang 3 million. So, mga walong buwan po yan kung titignan yung utilization rate ngayon. asr-001672 01:41:40.200 --> 01:41:47.760 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Pero nakikiayon po kami dahil alam namin limitado yung fiscal space. Babantayan po namin mabuti. asr-001673 01:41:47.900 --> 01:41:59.800 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Para ganun po ulit ang gawin namin kung sakaling talagang mag-escalate po, we will not hesitate as early as even March or August to already ask for supplemental. asr-001674 01:41:59.820 --> 01:42:05.900 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M.

Cacdac: So, I would understand. asr-001709 01:44:35.620 --> 01:44:41.660 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: What I want to say is, para lang makalanding muna, so to speak, we send a landing team. asr-001710 01:44:41.780 --> 01:44:44.920 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J.

Cacdac: However, wala pa. asr-001715 01:44:58.660 --> 01:44:59.960 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Doon yung team ni Admin PY. asr-001716 01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:22.440 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, pasok ang OWA, dagdag pa kami ng county doon to match the numbers na nasa mga scam hubs. But yun po ang system namin, Mr. Senator. Pasok muna kami, get the approval of the host government, pasok muna, set up shop, and then we will build as we go along to attain the optimal level. asr-001717 01:45:22.440 --> 01:45:41.240 Senator Joel Villanueva: Can you give me a brief, how do you call this, so I can have a bird's eye view on how you make that decision and the personnel involved sa pagbuo ng isang opisina? asr-001718 01:45:41.240 --> 01:45:52.140 Senator Joel Villanueva: Because right now we have 43 and you were saying 90 plus percent na Filipinos abroad are being catered by these offices. asr-001719 01:45:52.440 --> 01:45:56.720 Senator Joel Villanueva: And if you are to add, ano yung magiging basis? asr-001720 01:45:58.100 --> 01:46:06.280 Senator Joel Villanueva: Siguro yung ano lang, how do I say this?

Go: Meron po magandang hospital doon, dedicated sa ating mga OFW. asr-002147 02:10:12.160 --> 02:10:20.160 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At this Congress, I also filed Senate Bill 414, institutionalizing the OFW Hospital. asr-002148 02:10:20.160 --> 02:10:23.700 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ano na po ang status ng OFW Hospital? asr-002149 02:10:23.940 --> 02:10:27.080 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Dahil kayo po ang namamahala. asr-002150 02:10:27.240 --> 02:10:34.160 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Hindi naman po ito na turnover sa DOH since under po ito ng Department of Migrant Workers. asr-002151 02:10:35.200 --> 02:10:38.420 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Magkano na po ba ang kailangan para sa operation ng hospital? asr-002152 02:10:38.660 --> 02:10:39.380 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kumusta na po? asr-002153 02:10:40.000 --> 02:10:46.160 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: How will the reduction in funding affect the hospital's operations and the delivery of services to our OFWs? asr-002154 02:10:46.920 --> 02:10:50.160 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Mr. Chair, dapat po tuloy-tuloy ang suporta natin sa OFWs. asr-002155 02:10:50.460 --> 02:10:55.160 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Dahil po para sa ating mga OFWs po ito at sa kanilang mga pamilya. asr-002156 02:10:56.360 --> 02:11:00.540 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Additionally, Mr. Chair, para mas maging accessible ang servisyong medikal sa OFWs, asr-002157 02:11:00.600 --> 02:11:06.740 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: nag-file din po tayo ng Senate Bill 1290 or ang proposed OFW Wards Act. asr-002158 02:11:07.340 --> 02:11:11.780 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Hindi naman po lahat ng OFWs kayang pumunta po ng Pampanga para magpagamot doon. asr-002159 02:11:11.880 --> 02:11:19.180 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kaya nararapat lamang po na meron dedicated sa kanila na OFW Wards na available po sa iba't ibang parte ng bansa. asr-002160 02:11:19.180 --> 02:11:30.480 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Gusto ko lang po isingit, Mr. Chair, bagamat hindi po ito parte ng budget ng Department of Migrant Workers, asr-002161 02:11:30.680 --> 02:11:41.920 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: pero apektado po ang ating mga kababayan, mga OFWs, mostly mga OFWs dahil kailangan po nila ng passport pag nagbiyahe po sila. asr-002162 02:11:41.920 --> 02:11:46.540 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Mr. Chair, during the last budget hearing of the Department of Foreign Affairs, asr-002163 02:11:46.840 --> 02:11:48.920 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: there was a discussion on the proposed income. asr-002164 02:11:49.180 --> 02:11:57.140 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Increase in the cost of Philippine passports, citing inflation, VAT, price increases, and significantly higher transportation costs. asr-002165 02:11:57.860 --> 02:12:01.740 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nabanggit ko po ito dahil kakagaling ko lang po sa Nagoya, Japan. asr-002166 02:12:01.980 --> 02:12:09.380 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At isa rin po sa mga usap-usapan ng ating mga kababayan doon na may planong itaas nga po ang presyo ng passport application fee. asr-002167 02:12:09.380 --> 02:12:14.060 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At hindi lang po basta itataas. asr-002168 02:12:14.780 --> 02:12:17.460 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Mataas po talaga yung dinagdag kung sasakali. asr-002169 02:12:19.180 --> 02:12:23.900 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pagdoblihin mula 950 pesos, magiging 1,500 pesos. asr-002170 02:12:24.420 --> 02:12:29.880 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Huwag naman po, sana, nakikiusap po tayo sa Department of Foreign Affairs. asr-002171 02:12:30.020 --> 02:12:32.060 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pakiusapan nyo naman po yung printing office. asr-002172 02:12:32.220 --> 02:12:33.540 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ito yung tinatawag na APO. asr-002173 02:12:34.220 --> 02:12:36.060 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sana po na huwag naman po. asr-002174 02:12:36.160 --> 02:12:37.520 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Hindi po napapanahon sa ngayon. asr-002175 02:12:37.620 --> 02:12:39.060 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Hira po ang ating mga kababayan. asr-002176 02:12:39.180 --> 02:12:40.440 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Nasa crisis po tayo. asr-002177 02:12:40.440 --> 02:12:46.280 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At bawat piso po, bawat sentimo na kinikita ng mga OFWs natin, asr-002178 02:12:46.720 --> 02:12:48.440 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: ay napakahalaga po yun na meron silang... asr-002179 02:12:49.180 --> 02:12:52.540 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: dadalhin sa kanilang mga pamilya. asr-002180 02:12:52.700 --> 02:12:54.900 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Bawat piso, importante po yun sa kanila. asr-002181 02:12:55.680 --> 02:12:58.480 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At yun po, naging reaction mga nakausap ko. asr-002182 02:12:58.640 --> 02:13:02.620 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kitang-kita nyo naman po ang lungkot sa mga kababayan nating OFWs. asr-002183 02:13:02.820 --> 02:13:05.300 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At yung iba po, medyo galit. asr-002184 02:13:05.460 --> 02:13:08.160 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sana naman po, huwag ito matuloy. asr-002185 02:13:10.020 --> 02:13:13.580 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sabi ko, wala bang katapusan ang pahirap sa ating mga kababayan? asr-002186 02:13:14.380 --> 02:13:16.500 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Para sa akin, hindi po ito katanggap-tanggap. asr-002187 02:13:16.640 --> 02:13:18.340 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Huwag naman po, muna sana. asr-002188 02:13:18.340 --> 02:13:21.340 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kung kaya naman po i-subsidize ng gobyerno, asr-002189 02:13:21.940 --> 02:13:26.800 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: kesa naman po masayang yung pondo sa korupsyon, asr-002190 02:13:26.920 --> 02:13:31.840 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: sana naman gamitin na lang po, maayos at i-subsidize na lang po dito asr-002191 02:13:31.840 --> 02:13:36.640 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: sa mga pangangailangan po ng ating mga kababayan OFWs. asr-002192 02:13:36.700 --> 02:13:38.940 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Huwag na sanang mag-increase sa ngayon. asr-002193 02:13:39.360 --> 02:13:41.460 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ramdam ko po ang sentimento ng ating mga kababayan. asr-002194 02:13:41.580 --> 02:13:43.840 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At alam ko rin po, ramdam nyo yan. asr-002195 02:13:43.840 --> 02:13:47.840 Senator Christopher Lawrence T.

Go: Kababayan OFWs. asr-002197 02:13:49.580 --> 02:13:51.580 Senator Christopher Lawrence T.

Go: Never ending na ba talaga ang dagdag pahirap sa mga Pilipino? asr-002200 02:13:58.940 --> 02:14:02.220 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ilagay po natin ang ating mga sarili sa sitwasyon ng ating OFWs asr-002201 02:14:02.220 --> 02:14:06.480 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: na araw-araw nagsasakripisyo po para sa kanilang pamilya at sa ating bayan. asr-002202 02:14:07.400 --> 02:14:12.300 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Tinitiis po nila yung lungkot na mapalayo sa kanilang mga pamilya. asr-002203 02:14:12.300 --> 02:14:16.960 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Alam ko, mas marami sa kanila na gusto pong umuwi dito sa ating bayan. asr-002204 02:14:17.040 --> 02:14:18.160 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Dito na lang po manirahan. asr-002205 02:14:18.340 --> 02:14:20.420 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pero kailangan po nila magtrabaho doon. asr-002206 02:14:21.280 --> 02:14:25.560 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Tandaan natin, isang beses lang tayo dadaan sa mundong ito, napakabilis po ng panahon. asr-002207 02:14:26.000 --> 02:14:31.540 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sana easy nila dito na manirahan sa ating bayan kaysa sa malayo sa kanilang pamilya. asr-002208 02:14:31.660 --> 02:14:33.000 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pero tinitiis po nila yun. asr-002209 02:14:33.580 --> 02:14:36.480 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Tinitiis nila ang sakit na mapalayo sa kanilang mga mahal sa buhay. asr-002210 02:14:37.140 --> 02:14:41.320 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Hindi pinapansin ang inip, gutom at pagod basta makapagtipid asr-002211 02:14:41.320 --> 02:14:45.960 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: at may padala ang pinaghirapang sahod para may panggastos po sa kanilang pamilya asr-002212 02:14:45.960 --> 02:14:48.320 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: at para rin manatiling buhay ang ating ekonomiya. asr-002213 02:14:48.340 --> 02:14:55.300 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Tapos ito po ang isusukli ng Estado sa kanila, dagdag na gastusin. asr-002214 02:14:56.240 --> 02:14:57.340 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Hindi po dapat ito. asr-002215 02:15:00.000 --> 02:15:03.640 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Dapat nga huwag nang dagdagan pa ang bigat na pasan ng ating mga kababayan. asr-002216 02:15:04.280 --> 02:15:10.080 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Imbis na humanap ang gobyerno ng paraan para matulungan sila at mapagaan kahit papanong buhay ng OFWs, asr-002217 02:15:10.460 --> 02:15:16.500 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: baliktad po ang nangyayari, nagiging paurong, problema at sakit ng ulo ang naghihintay sa kanila dito sa bansa. asr-002218 02:15:17.480 --> 02:15:21.360 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At also Mr. Chair, here is the ironic part. asr-002219 02:15:21.360 --> 02:15:31.840 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Noong panahon po ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte, ang dinoble natin noon noong panahon ni former President Duterte ay yung serbisyo. asr-002220 02:15:32.060 --> 02:15:36.000 Senator Christopher Lawrence T.

Go: Dinoble natin ang pakinabang para sa ating mga mamamayan. asr-002222 02:15:44.080 --> 02:15:50.740 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Million-million Pilipino ang nakinabang at natuwa dahil dito hindi na nila kailangan pumila pa dyan sa pag-renewal. asr-002223 02:15:51.360 --> 02:15:55.960 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Mula 5 years, ginawa po ng kanilang passport. After 10 years na nila, kailangan pong mag-renew. asr-002224 02:15:56.840 --> 02:16:08.560 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sana po, may iwasan po ito ang pagtaas ng passport processing fee. asr-002225 02:16:08.560 --> 02:16:16.820 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ako po ay nakikiusap sa Department of Foreign Affairs at sa APO, sa Printing Office, asr-002226 02:16:17.760 --> 02:16:20.740 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: na sana naman po huwag munang taasan. asr-002227 02:16:21.360 --> 02:16:29.900 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ang passport processing fee dahil hirap po ang ating mga kababayan, lalong-lalo na po ang mga OFWs. asr-002228 02:16:30.720 --> 02:16:34.340 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ang kailangan ngayon, serbisyo, hindi po negosyo. asr-002229 02:16:35.360 --> 02:16:38.320 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At gusto ko lang po marinig yung position ninyo ukol dito. asr-002230 02:16:38.320 --> 02:16:47.600 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: And I'm sure sana tutulan nyo rin po ang pagtaas ng passport processing fee. asr-002231 02:16:48.000 --> 02:16:51.280 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: On another note po, Mr. Chair, Secretary. asr-002232 02:16:51.360 --> 02:16:59.440 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: During my recent visit sa Nagoya, nabanggit po ng Consulate Office o ng Congen doon, asr-002233 02:16:59.820 --> 02:17:05.880 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: si Consul General Sherlyn Manangkil na walang labor office or migrant workers office sa Nagoya. asr-002234 02:17:05.880 --> 02:17:12.680 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Despite the significant number of OFWs in the area, sana po matulungan ang DMW sa isyong ito asr-002235 02:17:12.680 --> 02:17:16.520 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: dahil importante po na may malalapitan ang ating mga OFWs sa ibang bansa. asr-002236 02:17:17.080 --> 02:17:19.640 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At ang Nagoya po ang pinakamaraming. asr-002237 02:17:21.360 --> 02:17:33.380 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Pilipino workers po dahil na doon po yung mga planta ng Toyota at mga iba pang mga malalaking kumpanya. asr-002238 02:17:33.760 --> 02:17:42.180 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: So sila po ang pinakamaraming Pilipino migrant workers sa Japan, ang Nagoya po. asr-002239 02:17:42.280 --> 02:17:47.400 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sila po yung walang labor office or migrant workers office sa Nagoya. asr-002240 02:17:47.760 --> 02:17:51.020 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At hindi lang po sa Nagoya, sana po makapag-establish din tayo. asr-002241 02:17:51.360 --> 02:17:57.880 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Sa mga bansa at lugar na maraming OFWs, dapat po magkaroon ng sapat at readily available na pondo asr-002242 02:17:57.880 --> 02:18:04.420 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: para sa ating mga OFWs na naiipit sa conflict areas, lalo na po sa gitna ng kaguluhan sa Middle East. asr-002243 02:18:04.420 --> 02:18:08.600 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Ito mismo ang dahilan kung bakit napakalaga po nitong action fund. asr-002244 02:18:09.440 --> 02:18:14.800 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Mr. Chair, sana magawan mo ito ng paraan. Alam ko namang mag-a-action ka kagadyan. asr-002245 02:18:16.760 --> 02:18:20.060 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Unahin natin sila. Pagtutulungan po namin ito. asr-002246 02:18:21.360 --> 02:18:28.620 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Alang-alang na lang po. Isa-alang-alang natin ang kapakanan ng ating mga migrant workers, mga OFWs. asr-002247 02:18:29.160 --> 02:18:35.620 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kapag may digmaan o biglang krisis, hindi maaaring kulang ang pondo at hindi maaaring mabagal ang pagkilos ng gobyerno. asr-002248 02:18:36.080 --> 02:18:41.640 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Kaya nakakabahala po na hindi maisama sa NEP ang additional funding requested for the action fund. asr-002249 02:18:41.640 --> 02:18:50.240 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: I hope that in considering the 2027 budget, we can ensure that the DMW has sufficient resources to respond immediately. asr-002250 02:18:51.360 --> 02:18:54.120 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Wherever and wherever our OFWs are in danger. asr-002251 02:18:54.120 --> 02:19:04.720 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Paalala ko lang po sa DMW at sa OWA. Lagi po natin unahin ang kapakanan ng ating mga OFWs dahil para po sa kanila ang lahat na may inisiyatibo na ginagawa natin dito. asr-002252 02:19:05.620 --> 02:19:21.120 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At ito yung parati kong pinapaalala sa lahat. Hindi lang po sa DMWs, sa DFA, sa mga ambasador during hearing po dito ng confirmation ng kanilang appointment or nomination. asr-002253 02:19:21.360 --> 02:19:35.440 Senator Christopher Lawrence T.

And even during the time na kayo po kinonfirm namin dito, Secretary Kakdak, maalala nyo, sinabi ko lang po sa inyo, asr-002254 02:19:36.200 --> 02:19:48.600 Senator Christopher Lawrence T.

Di lamang OFWs, Mr. Senator, dahil alam namin nung tinalaga ang ospital, inasasangalang-alang nyo rin ang nanay at tatay at mga anak na mga OFWs. asr-002262 02:21:03.220 --> 02:21:17.920 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J.

Bong Go to establish the Department of Migrant Workers. asr-002343 02:29:42.420 --> 02:29:44.320 Senator Joel Villanueva: So again, thank you, Sen. Bong Go. asr-002344 02:29:45.340 --> 02:29:54.180 Senator Joel Villanueva: Especially now na nandyan na, hindi mo pa rin iniiwan at sumusuport pa rin sa budgetary requirements and requests ng DMW. asr-002345 02:29:54.340 --> 02:29:55.320 Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you, Sen. Bong Go. asr-002346 02:29:55.320 --> 02:29:58.320 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: May I add something? asr-002347 02:30:00.000 --> 02:30:24.540 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: Alam niyo, nung panahon si Senator Joel, siya yung chairperson ng Labor Committee dito sa Senado. Muntik na siyang nawala ng pag-asa pero hindi po siya bumigay. Talagang pinaglaban niya. Sabi ko, boss, alang-alang na lang sa OFWs na, mga kababayan nating OFWs, please lang, huwag kang bumigay, paglaban mo pa rin, huwag kang mawala ng pag-asa. asr-002348 02:30:24.540 --> 02:30:37.060 Senator Christopher Lawrence T. Go: At true enough, yung ating panaginip nagkatotoo po na nagkaroon ng Department of Migrant Workers. Salamat sa iyong pagmamahal sa ating mga OFWs, Senator Joel Villanueva. Maraming salamat po. asr-002349 02:30:37.060 --> 02:30:54.060 Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you again, Senator Bong. And let me stem my next questions dun sa binabanggit ka rin ni Senator Bong. Una yung sa Passport Act. I'm one of the authors of the 10 years validity of passports. asr-002350 02:30:54.540 --> 02:31:07.300 Senator Joel Villanueva: And yung APO publishing is under OP now. Is that correct? It's under OP now. Before, it's under BSP. So right now, if I'm not mistaken, it's under OP. asr-002351 02:31:07.300 --> 02:31:24.480 Senator Joel Villanueva: And I heard Secretary Tess Lazaro saying that she was able to talk to APO and nag-request na po sila. It's just that siguro concerted efforts, lahat tayo, magpagtalong-talungan po natin. asr-002352 02:31:24.540 --> 02:31:51.120 Senator Joel Villanueva: Hindi maganda, especially right now, na itaas yung... And I'm with Senator Bong on this particular issue. Now, let me continue my questions with the Action Fund. Kasi tinitignan ko rin. Yung sa DFA, binanggit ko, yung legal fund nila is 200 million. Still there. Meron pa silang 1 billion na assistance to national. I'm not trying to get funding from DFA. asr-002353 02:31:51.120 --> 02:31:54.120 Senator Joel Villanueva: But in all honesty, when I... asr-002354 02:31:54.540 --> 02:32:15.000 Senator Joel Villanueva: I asked that question as to the utilization ng department, I think mataas pa rin yung available funds nila dito. I just don't know kung ngayong time of the year ba talagang ganon. I missed the budget briefing last time. asr-002355 02:32:15.000 --> 02:32:24.000 Senator Joel Villanueva: But if you look at the Action Fund, Secretary and the Admin Kaunan, pareho yung... asr-002356 02:32:24.540 --> 02:32:35.540 Senator Joel Villanueva: Yung Action Fund, merong repatriation, meron din ang OWA. Pati yung Action Fund, ang dami. May legal, may medical, repatriation. Merong... asr-002357 02:32:35.540 --> 02:32:50.660 Senator Joel Villanueva: Yun nga kanina binabanggit ni Sec Hans, yung mga distressed OFWs, yung may kailangan ng tulong because they were victimized by illegal recruitment, etc. asr-002358 02:32:50.660 --> 02:32:52.660 Senator Joel Villanueva: And then you have... asr-002359 02:32:54.540 --> 02:32:57.480 Senator Joel Villanueva: Reintegration, nandyan din po, nakaladge. asr-002360 02:32:57.480 --> 02:33:13.220 Senator Joel Villanueva: Now, looking at dun sa repatriation, hindi ko ba pag may nirepatriate tayo, of course, inuuna natin kaagad dyan dahil emergency yan eh. Most urgent yan na kailangang tulungan. asr-002361 02:33:13.220 --> 02:33:21.220 Senator Joel Villanueva: But the companies, the employers, they are also somehow liable in... asr-002362 02:33:21.220 --> 02:33:22.220 Senator Joel Villanueva: In... asr-002363 02:33:22.220 --> 02:33:23.220 Senator Joel Villanueva: For instance... asr-002364 02:33:24.540 --> 02:33:33.620 Senator Joel Villanueva: Giving help dun sa medical assistance, dun po sa pagbili, for example, ng tickets, plane tickets, etc. asr-002365 02:33:34.200 --> 02:33:44.280 Senator Joel Villanueva: May po ba tayong kaukulang pondo na nakukuha pa from their end, yung reimbursement na nakukuha? asr-002366 02:33:44.280 --> 02:33:53.120 Senator Joel Villanueva: And at the same time, gaano po ang percentage-wise na nakaka-comply dito ng mga kumpanya? asr-002367 02:33:53.660 --> 02:33:54.380 Senator Joel Villanueva: Or... asr-002368 02:33:54.540 --> 02:33:58.520 Senator Joel Villanueva: Or employers na nakukuha pa po natin? asr-002369 02:33:58.740 --> 02:33:59.180 Senator Joel Villanueva: Secretary? asr-002370 02:34:00.180 --> 02:34:03.060 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Tama po kayo, Mr. Senator. asr-002371 02:34:03.900 --> 02:34:10.820 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: The main responsibility to repatriate is with the employer and the mining agency. asr-002372 02:34:11.160 --> 02:34:17.680 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: For those who are still covered by their first two years contracts, kusa nandun pa yung agency. asr-002373 02:34:18.740 --> 02:34:24.180 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: But we're fully aware that most of OFWs, around 70% of OFWs, asr-002374 02:34:24.540 --> 02:34:27.240 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: are tinatawag na balik manggagawa. asr-002375 02:34:27.340 --> 02:34:34.740 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ibig sabihin, more than two years na sila sa abroad, at wala na silang agency covered under the compulsory insurance laws, asr-002376 02:34:35.140 --> 02:34:46.140 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: where repatriation will be covered by insurance company policy provided by the insurance company to the agency as the policyholder. asr-002377 02:34:47.680 --> 02:34:52.260 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ngayon, ang OWA po ang may mechanism doon ng reimbursement mechanism. asr-002378 02:34:52.260 --> 02:34:53.260 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, si... asr-002379 02:34:54.540 --> 02:34:57.260 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Admin PY, baka may kaukulang ulat po sa refunding. asr-002380 02:34:57.720 --> 02:35:04.160 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Pero, in general, pag-crisis ang sitwasyon, we don't pause to say, asr-002381 02:35:04.600 --> 02:35:07.660 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: hindi kami yan, agency yan, etc. asr-002382 02:35:07.960 --> 02:35:10.880 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, tama po kayo, refund ang mekanismo natin. asr-002383 02:35:11.240 --> 02:35:16.440 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ngayon, doon po sa medical, tama po kayo, many OFWs, asr-002384 02:35:16.860 --> 02:35:23.100 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: whether balik manggagawa or baguhan na OFWs, may insurance naman po sa host country, in general. asr-002385 02:35:23.340 --> 02:35:24.460 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, sa kanina, asr-002386 02:35:24.540 --> 02:35:28.940 Senator Joel Villanueva: binanggit nyo, just for me, my personal education, two years lang po yung compulsory. asr-002387 02:35:29.060 --> 02:35:30.580 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: For repatriation, yes. asr-002388 02:35:30.580 --> 02:35:31.800 Senator Joel Villanueva: For repatriation, two years. asr-002389 02:35:31.820 --> 02:35:32.420 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Yes, two years. asr-002390 02:35:32.420 --> 02:35:34.600 Senator Joel Villanueva: Pero sa medical, whether balik manggagawa... asr-002391 02:35:34.600 --> 02:35:39.400 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Sa medical, as long as they're covered by the medical insurance laws, regulations in the host country, asr-002392 02:35:39.580 --> 02:35:41.860 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: and in general, they are all, they are covered. asr-002393 02:35:42.680 --> 02:35:45.380 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, inuuna po natin munang i-avail nila. asr-002394 02:35:45.500 --> 02:35:50.240 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Habang may na-hospital ng OFW, hindi po natin agad sinasagot sa abroad yung hospital bills. asr-002395 02:35:50.640 --> 02:35:53.400 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Dahil malamang sa malamang, covered siya ng insurance doon. asr-002396 02:35:53.920 --> 02:35:54.120 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, asr-002397 02:35:54.540 --> 02:35:59.120 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, tine-exhaust po muna yung insurance policy coverage. asr-002398 02:35:59.640 --> 02:36:05.400 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Pag nagkulang na po, o di kaya undocumented, kung saan walang insurance, doon po tayo pumapasok. asr-002399 02:36:05.860 --> 02:36:14.240 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So, rest assured, hindi po tayo pumapasok agad kung covered naman ng insurance yung kababayan natin, hinahayaan muna natin. asr-002400 02:36:15.180 --> 02:36:21.400 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Doon po sa matter on the other matters like refund, baka si admin PY pumakapasok. asr-002401 02:36:21.400 --> 02:36:22.060 Senator Joel Villanueva: Yes, admin PY. asr-002402 02:36:22.200 --> 02:36:24.400 Senator Joel Villanueva: And I ask this question because I wanted to make sure... asr-002403 02:36:24.540 --> 02:36:29.400 Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm sure na yung mining agencies are also doing their share, doing their part. asr-002404 02:36:29.580 --> 02:36:34.180 Senator Joel Villanueva: And I wanted to understand where it goes, yung reimbursement, etc. asr-002405 02:36:34.400 --> 02:36:37.220 Senator Joel Villanueva: Saan napupunta? Inaano ba natin yun? asr-002406 02:36:38.520 --> 02:36:47.140 Senator Joel Villanueva: Dinapalik sa treasury or pwede rin natin gamitin na pondo para ipanggamit ng OWA? asr-002407 02:36:47.500 --> 02:36:48.140 Senator Joel Villanueva: Ma'am? asr-002408 02:36:48.500 --> 02:36:52.560 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Thank you very much, Chair, doon po sa tanong na yan. asr-002409 02:36:53.220 --> 02:36:54.500 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Una-una po, simulan ko. asr-002410 02:36:54.540 --> 02:37:00.560 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Doon sa RA 8042, Section 15, yan ang Emergency Repatriation Fund. asr-002411 02:37:00.980 --> 02:37:11.800 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Nandyan mismo nakasaad na ang may primary responsibility po patungkol sa repatriation ay yung mga employers po or yung kanila pong mga recruitment agencies. asr-002412 02:37:12.860 --> 02:37:22.540 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Pero nasabi nga po na aming kalihim, pag emergency po, alam naman kung antahin pa natin sila na umakto, kaya po meron pong way of reimbursement. asr-002413 02:37:22.540 --> 02:37:23.580 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Okay. asr-002414 02:37:24.540 --> 02:37:30.180 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Mr. Chair, ako na hong unang aamin na medyo mahirap kolektahin. asr-002415 02:37:30.820 --> 02:37:45.460 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Kami po ay nagpapadala ng mga demand letter, nakailan na rin po kaming referral sa Department of Migrant Workers for proper administrative sanction, if that is kung hindi pa rin po sila magko-comply. asr-002416 02:37:45.460 --> 02:37:48.840 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Pero over the years po, yun po ang nagiging proseso. asr-002417 02:37:49.380 --> 02:37:53.460 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Merong mga, meron pong ang OWA po ang nangungunang... asr-002418 02:37:54.540 --> 02:38:02.240 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: ...mag-gumastos para sa emergency repatriation, lalong-lalo na po, yung nasabi nga po ni SecHands, yung mga newly hired. asr-002419 02:38:02.860 --> 02:38:16.800 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: At pagkatapos po niyan ay we send the demand letter and then kung hindi pa rin po talaga sumagot, we refer to the, then po, POEA now, the Department of Migrant Workers. asr-002420 02:38:17.400 --> 02:38:23.580 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Opo, kasi po sila po ang regulatory, sila po may regulatory function. asr-002421 02:38:24.540 --> 02:38:37.700 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Pero po, tama po yun, malaking porsyento po kasi nang tinutulungan natin ay mga balik manggagawa na o wala na pong recruitment agency. asr-002422 02:38:38.920 --> 02:38:49.700 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Mapayagan niya rin po akong sabihin and put on record, pag tinignan po namin, binalangkas po namin yung emergency repatriation fund at mas malaki po ang porsyento. asr-002423 02:38:50.580 --> 02:38:53.700 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Actually, Mr. Chair, mga lalampas siguro ng 90%. asr-002424 02:38:54.540 --> 02:39:03.880 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Kung titignan mo yung tulong pagtutungkol sa airfare, transportation, and shelter, ay land-based OFWs. asr-002425 02:39:03.880 --> 02:39:24.300 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Ibig sabihin po, Mr. Chair, patungkol sa sea-based, ang mga manning agencies na ayon naman yan sa maritime convention at sa kanilang kontrata ay sumusunod at nagbibigay po at umaako nitong kanilang obligasyon under contract and under international maritime convention po. asr-002426 02:39:24.540 --> 02:39:32.480 Senator Joel Villanueva: Just to understand, Admin, pag naka-collect, what do you do with the collection? asr-002427 02:39:33.660 --> 02:39:38.380 Senator Joel Villanueva: Pwede bang gamitin ito ng OWA or ito'y binabalik sa treasury? asr-002428 02:39:38.620 --> 02:39:45.220 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Binabalik po natin sa treasury pag emergency repatriation fund po dahil ito po ay gaa. asr-002429 02:39:45.660 --> 02:39:50.120 Senator Joel Villanueva: And can you give us a ballpark figure like sample last year? asr-002430 02:39:51.540 --> 02:39:53.100 Senator Joel Villanueva: How much are we talking about here? asr-002431 02:39:54.540 --> 02:39:58.120 Senator Joel Villanueva: You were able to collect, which of course you made mention, very difficult. asr-002432 02:39:58.120 --> 02:40:09.720 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Very difficult, but for this year alone, Mr. Chair, over 10 million pa lang ang nakokolekta po namin na kumbaga naibalik sa treasury. asr-002433 02:40:09.820 --> 02:40:22.120 Senator Joel Villanueva: Pero yung demand letter and yun nga nasa kapending, meron kayong ballpark figure din kung magkano yung… kahit pa submit nyo na lang, just for our… asr-002434 02:40:22.660 --> 02:40:23.620 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Yes, Mr. Chair. asr-002435 02:40:23.620 --> 02:40:24.380 Senator Joel Villanueva: Just to make sure. asr-002436 02:40:24.540 --> 02:40:25.260 Senator Joel Villanueva: We understand. asr-002437 02:40:26.380 --> 02:40:27.460 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Opo, Mr. Chair. asr-002438 02:40:28.060 --> 02:40:35.880 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Pero hindi ko po masasabi ngayon on record at magsasumiti na lang po kami sa komite patungkol sa actual amount. asr-002439 02:40:36.600 --> 02:40:44.960 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Pero ipauna ko na rin po, Mr. Chair, ang hinahabolan po namin ay 176 Philippine recruitment agencies. asr-002440 02:40:45.220 --> 02:40:47.120 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: Ang bayad pa lang po ay 13. asr-002441 02:40:47.760 --> 02:40:53.360 OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan: So yun po ay we will submit to the committee a more comprehensive report on this, Mr. Chair. asr-002442 02:40:53.480 --> 02:40:53.840 Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you. asr-002443 02:40:54.040 --> 02:40:54.460 Senator Joel Villanueva: Appreciate it. asr-002444 02:40:54.540 --> 02:41:06.920 Senator Joel Villanueva: Let me go to another point dito sa part ng ating emergency protection ng ating mga kababayan. asr-002445 02:41:08.420 --> 02:41:18.940 Senator Joel Villanueva: May we know right now how many OFWs remain in conflict affected or yung nasa kategory ng high risk areas? asr-002446 02:41:18.940 --> 02:41:24.480 Senator Joel Villanueva: And of course, what level of contingency capacity asr-002447 02:41:24.540 --> 02:41:29.820 Senator Joel Villanueva: is required for their possible evacuation or repatriation? asr-002448 02:41:31.000 --> 02:41:33.800 Senator Joel Villanueva: Just to have an idea, Secretary? asr-002449 02:41:34.040 --> 02:41:46.560 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: The figure that we have po is in the two areas, mainly yung sa Gulf states, sa may Arabian Gulf, and sa tinatawag na Levant, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon. asr-002450 02:41:47.320 --> 02:41:47.840 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: What do you call that? asr-002451 02:41:47.920 --> 02:41:48.240 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Levant? asr-002452 02:41:48.420 --> 02:41:48.800 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Levant. asr-002453 02:41:48.800 --> 02:41:49.340 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Levant. asr-002454 02:41:49.820 --> 02:41:50.560 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Levant. asr-002455 02:41:51.620 --> 02:41:53.800 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: 2.5 million po ang… asr-002456 02:41:54.540 --> 02:41:55.560 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Estimate doon. asr-002457 02:41:56.400 --> 02:41:57.320 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Opo, opo. asr-002458 02:41:57.900 --> 02:42:00.760 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: But having said that, Mr. Senator, tama po kayo. asr-002459 02:42:01.360 --> 02:42:03.880 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: This is not to cause any alarm. asr-002460 02:42:04.000 --> 02:42:07.960 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: This is not necessarily a case of 2.5 million all in danger. asr-002461 02:42:08.960 --> 02:42:13.780 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: So lalo na sa kaso ng gera na ito, talagang nakikita natin kakaiba. asr-002462 02:42:15.720 --> 02:42:20.040 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Halimbawa, nakikita natin na targeted ang mga attacks. asr-002463 02:42:22.140 --> 02:42:24.520 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J.

Cacdac: Doon po sa… asr-002467 02:42:38.780 --> 02:42:50.740 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Ang Saudi Arabia, which is around 1 million OFWs, so at least 50% of the 2.5, nakita naman natin ay on the whole ay spared ang Saudi Arabia from the attacks. asr-002468 02:42:50.740 --> 02:42:54.420 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac: Although lately, there have been some attacks also. asr-002469 02:42:54.540 --> 02:43:08.940 DMW Secretary Hans Leo J.
