82
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:50,080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ang agham, dapat ramdam.

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na lahat po ng ginagawa po natin, dapat ramdam ng ating mga kababayan.

105
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: gawing kapakikipakinabang ang agham sa pang araw-araw na buhay ng Pilipino.

106
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:37,840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ang tagumpay ng DOST hindi lamang nasusukat sa dami ng pag-aaral, patent, inventions or innovation,

107
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: dapat naramdaman na nito ng ating mga kababayan.

108
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sa kanilang pang araw-araw na buhay, sa palengke, sa paaralan,

109
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:45,840

110
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,280

127
00:08:58,260 --> 00:09:04,680

128
00:09:06,260 --> 00:09:09,040

143
00:09:43,580 --> 00:09:46,900

866
00:36:49,180 --> 00:36:52,140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: billion uh of course quite

867

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: ah thank you Mr. Chair um afternoon to the

870
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,280
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and backups

871
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:13,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Secretary natin, [unclear], with all the officials. Anyway, of course I am here

872
00:37:13,060 --> 00:37:15,480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: as chairman of the Committee on Finance

873
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: to monitor also, and of course I am more concerned

874
00:37:19,580 --> 00:37:20,240
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: of course

875
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:21,280
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: with the budget.

876
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:28,880
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Of course, with the budget data, I'll just ask a very few questions, Mr. Chair.

877
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Siguro, just bago tayo munta ro sa budget itself.

878
00:37:34,820 --> 00:37:39,320
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Doon sa ano, of course, one of the hottest issues now is the Pax Silica Initiative.

879
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: As the primary government agency in the Philippines,

880
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:50,040
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: tasked with providing central direction, leadership, and coordination of all scientific and technological efforts in the country.

881
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: What is the official position of DOST?

882
00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:00,040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: The principle of DOST for any development is that it must be sustainable.

883
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:08,720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So we have to make sure that the development plans are aligned to what we want to create more jobs and opportunities.

884
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:18,980
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: While our safeguards should be focused on the environmental and other socioeconomic concerns that we have.

885
00:38:19,460 --> 00:38:20,020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Basically,

886
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:26,640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: based on what I have heard from the direct explanation of the program,

887
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the Pax Silica is a global program.

888
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:37,800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But essentially, the component in the Philippines is a very small part of it.

889
00:38:38,340 --> 00:38:46,240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Where the real intent of the component in Clark is to have an advanced manufacturing hub

890
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for accessories that will be related.

891
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:50,920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: In the future,

892
00:38:51,660 --> 00:38:58,360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to chips for other accessories that will be used for data centers or AI hubs.

893
00:38:58,540 --> 00:39:02,840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But those will not be in the Clark area.

894
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:08,320
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Second, on the minerals processing, it is not certain yet as this will be negotiated.

895
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:15,080
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: As to what minerals, the state of minerals, the critical minerals that they will use.

896
00:39:15,380 --> 00:39:20,020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Because for sure, one should not mine and transport it.

897
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:25,040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But one should not mine and transport it to the area and process it economically.

898
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,160
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And therefore, those still have to be discussed.

899
00:39:27,420 --> 00:39:35,020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So we have to make sure that the development in the area will really promote the economy of the country

900
00:39:35,020 --> 00:39:41,020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: while making sure that the environmental concerns and the social concerns within the area will be addressed.

901
00:39:41,140 --> 00:39:41,500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Thank you.

902
00:39:41,740 --> 00:39:45,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: With the indulgence of Chairperson JV, we'd like to recognize Senator Joel Villanueva.

903
00:39:45,580 --> 00:39:46,100
Senator Joel Villanueva: Good afternoon.

904
00:39:47,420 --> 00:39:49,980
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Hopefully, I'd just like to ask.

905
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:55,760
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Also, if you are based on the initial assessment with the creation of this venture,

906
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the Pax Silica, outweigh the severe environmental risk,

907
00:39:59,220 --> 00:40:00,660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mayroon ba ako yung study na rin?

908
00:40:00,780 --> 00:40:05,380
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Well, essentially, if they will be operating an industrial hub,

909
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,460
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we have many industrial hubs in the Philippines like in Cavite, Depeza.

910
00:40:09,980 --> 00:40:13,280
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So we are very, very strict on our environmental laws.

911
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,660
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And this must be, of course, be led by the DNR.

912
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:19,140
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So marami na po tayong experience.

913
00:40:19,140 --> 00:40:22,580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And pagdating sa environmental law, dapat very strict.

914
00:40:22,980 --> 00:40:26,220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: At wala namang naging issue out of the PESA zones that we have.

915
00:40:28,740 --> 00:40:30,120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay, thank you.

916
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:31,420
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Doon lang po sa ano.

917
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: August this year, DBM released 1 billion for continued implementation expansion

918
00:40:36,540 --> 00:40:40,800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: of the nationwide operation assessment of hazards or Project NOAA.

919
00:40:41,380 --> 00:40:45,440
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: According to the UP Resilience Institute, it's a good start, but I think it's not,

920
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:46,800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we feel it's not enough.

921
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:49,020
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: May we know if Project NOAA has,

922
00:40:49,140 --> 00:40:52,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: budget allocation under your department or any of your attached agency

923
00:40:52,820 --> 00:40:56,380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: to complement the proposed budget, if any, under the UP system?

924
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:00,840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: NOAA is operated by the University of the Philippines.

925
00:41:01,580 --> 00:41:05,840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And we have other disaster and climate-related programs

926
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:11,260
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: that would complement the provision of information and knowledge

927
00:41:11,260 --> 00:41:15,440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to various stakeholders, including government agencies, industries,

928
00:41:16,020 --> 00:41:17,500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and more importantly, communities.

929
00:41:18,060 --> 00:41:19,020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So we have developed...

930
00:41:19,140 --> 00:41:22,260
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: We have developed many programs and web applications

931
00:41:22,260 --> 00:41:29,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and even phone applications that would enable people to have access to data

932
00:41:29,540 --> 00:41:32,800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: from the different mandated organizations po.

933
00:41:33,300 --> 00:41:34,860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And just to separate,

934
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: PHIVOX would essentially be the one just providing all the geologic information.

935
00:41:41,220 --> 00:41:42,300
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Wala pong counterpart dyan.

936
00:41:42,700 --> 00:41:43,940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Sila po talaga yung mandated.

937
00:41:44,220 --> 00:41:45,700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay, thank you, Secretary.

938
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I'll just have three...

939
00:41:49,140 --> 00:41:52,700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: main issues for budget utilization.

940
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Of course, that's the reason I'm here.

941
00:41:55,660 --> 00:41:59,860
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: The DOSD is requesting for a 30.47 billion new appropriations

942
00:41:59,860 --> 00:42:01,600
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: for fiscal year 2027.

943
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yet, records show that your unused appropriations

944
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: surged by nearly 80% to 2.85 billion in 2025.

945
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:15,520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Given by severe disbursement challenges in frontline agents like PAGASA and PNRI,

946
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: why is there...

947
00:42:19,140 --> 00:42:24,640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: a request of a much bigger funding compared to 2025

948
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:30,260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kung hindi naman nare-resolve yung unused appropriations?

949
00:42:30,620 --> 00:42:34,040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Of course, different agencies would have specific needs.

950
00:42:34,580 --> 00:42:37,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And if the agency is cited like PHIVOX and PNRI,

951
00:42:37,940 --> 00:42:43,380
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: these are usually capital outlays that sometimes would have procurement delays

952
00:42:43,380 --> 00:42:45,940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: because some of the equipment are not off the shelf.

953
00:42:45,940 --> 00:42:48,940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So you have to wait a little bit sometimes around two years.

954
00:42:49,140 --> 00:42:51,420
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So pagdating po naman sa ibang ahensya,

955
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:55,440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we really need the budget because based on our experience,

956
00:42:55,540 --> 00:42:59,040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we can create more impact that would translate to more livelihood,

957
00:42:59,700 --> 00:43:00,780
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: more efficient processes.

958
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And so yung pong minsan utilization issue is more on the capital outlay.

959
00:43:07,100 --> 00:43:12,400
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: In 2025, the DOSD accumulated 2.85 billion in unused appropriations

960
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: up from 1.57 billion.

961
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: In 2024, PAGASA alone accounted for 1.45 billion.

962
00:43:19,140 --> 00:43:19,840
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: 1.2 billion.

963
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And the OSEC left 693.2 million unspent.

964
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: My question is,

965
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,660
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sir Chair, ano-ano ang mga proyekto o programa na nagkaroon ng mapagsubok?

966
00:43:31,300 --> 00:43:34,900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: O ba't ganito kalaki na umabot yung unused appropriations natin?

967
00:43:35,020 --> 00:43:37,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At bakano ang nabalik sa National Treasury?

968
00:43:37,740 --> 00:43:43,620
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pasensya na, we have to ask now because of our very, very limited fiscal space,

969
00:43:43,620 --> 00:43:48,820
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we have to make sure that all our appropriations are well spent.

970
00:43:49,140 --> 00:43:55,420
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: May, Mr. Chair, may I ask the Administrator of PAGASA to respond to the specific question on PAGASA?

971
00:43:55,500 --> 00:43:55,860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Thank you.

972
00:43:56,940 --> 00:43:58,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yes, please proceed.

973
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:00,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Thank you, Your Honor.

974
00:44:01,180 --> 00:44:03,680
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Thank you, Mr. Secretary, for this opportunity.

975
00:44:04,620 --> 00:44:10,340
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: As for the 2025 budget, the unutilized fund,

976
00:44:10,660 --> 00:44:19,120
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: actually, part of that were given additional budget out of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council Fund,

977
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:23,300
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: supposedly to purchase three doppler radars.

978
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:29,860
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: But at the moment, the procurement process is ongoing.

979
00:44:30,100 --> 00:44:33,380
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: In fact, most of the equipment are already awarded.

980
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:40,300
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And we're confident before the year ends, this will be utilized or obligated.

981
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:42,200
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Thank you, Chair.

982
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,280
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, on target, end of the year, it will be fully utilized.

983
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:49,060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung mga equipment.

984
00:44:49,140 --> 00:44:50,940
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Natin, it's already operational.

985
00:44:51,460 --> 00:44:52,160
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Yes, yes.

986
00:44:53,540 --> 00:44:53,960
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Yes, sir.

987
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:59,900
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, for sometimes the OSEC money will be...

988
00:44:59,900 --> 00:45:03,020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: a continuing allocation for the following year

989
00:45:03,020 --> 00:45:07,800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: because sometimes we have challenges on the requirement

990
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:13,420
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for the implementing organizations to really submit their liquidation

991
00:45:13,420 --> 00:45:16,040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for many of their previous proposals.

992
00:45:16,220 --> 00:45:20,220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So we have to make sure that they observe that.

993
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:24,740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And so sometimes we actually use it the following year,

994
00:45:24,820 --> 00:45:28,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: but trust assured, Mr. Chair, that these are fully utilized

995
00:45:28,540 --> 00:45:31,380
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: by providing additional funding for new proposals.

996
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:37,880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Our application for Granada 8 is 99% for the continuing.

997
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:44,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Just to clarify, the OSTs overall disbursement rate slipped

998
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:50,300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: from 83.8% in 2024 to 79.8% in 2025.

999
00:45:51,260 --> 00:45:55,080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pag-assess disbursement rate plunged to 47.9%,

1000
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: down from 71.1% in 2020.

1001
00:45:58,540 --> 00:46:04,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And PNRI disbursed only 34.4%.

1002
00:46:04,540 --> 00:46:16,560
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: May I ask the two agencies to respond?

1003
00:46:17,220 --> 00:46:18,900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: First, Pag-asa and then PNRI.

1004
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Essentially, it's related to the capital outlay.

1005
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, please. Pag-asa muna and then PNRI.

1006
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: What measures, interventions?

1007
00:46:28,540 --> 00:46:31,580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Are being, will be done, no?

1008
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:33,240
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Yes, thank you.

1009
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,940
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Once again, Your Honor and the Secretary.

1010
00:46:37,940 --> 00:46:43,140
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Interventions include fast tracking the procurement process.

1011
00:46:43,140 --> 00:46:47,160
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Of course, the equipment involved is sophisticated

1012
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: and is manufactured overseas.

1013
00:46:50,620 --> 00:46:54,220
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: It takes time before, of course, it is to be installed.

1014
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,300
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: But the Vision Awards Committee,

1015
00:46:58,540 --> 00:47:00,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: we have already done the fast tracking.

1016
00:47:00,540 --> 00:47:03,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And at the moment, in fact, as I've mentioned,

1017
00:47:03,540 --> 00:47:08,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: we have already secured the awarded contracts.

1018
00:47:08,540 --> 00:47:13,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And of course, the remaining components will be closely monitored

1019
00:47:13,540 --> 00:47:18,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: until, since 2025, this 2025 budget,

1020
00:47:18,540 --> 00:47:21,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: and this is continuing until December this year,

1021
00:47:21,540 --> 00:47:24,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: we're confident it will be utilized.

1022
00:47:24,540 --> 00:47:25,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Thank you, Your Honor.

1023
00:47:25,540 --> 00:47:26,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you.

1024
00:47:26,540 --> 00:47:27,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sa PNRI po.

1025
00:47:28,540 --> 00:47:32,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: Good afternoon, Chairs, Your Honorable Chairs.

1026
00:47:32,540 --> 00:47:38,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: For the justification for the low utilization,

1027
00:47:38,540 --> 00:47:41,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: it's because of the nuclear medicine project.

1028
00:47:41,540 --> 00:47:47,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: The reason for this low obligation or low utilization

1029
00:47:47,540 --> 00:47:50,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: is first is the procurement planning needed to be revisited

1030
00:47:50,540 --> 00:47:54,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: to align with the actual project implementation progress

1031
00:47:54,540 --> 00:47:57,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: and to create a more efficient budget utilization.

1032
00:47:57,540 --> 00:47:59,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: It's because of some procurement packages

1033
00:47:59,540 --> 00:48:03,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: were therefore not yet sufficiently matured or procurement ready.

1034
00:48:03,540 --> 00:48:07,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: The second one is the project undertook a more thorough review

1035
00:48:07,540 --> 00:48:10,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: of its technical and procurement documents.

1036
00:48:10,540 --> 00:48:13,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: And the last one, the third one,

1037
00:48:13,540 --> 00:48:16,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: is the regulatory legal requirements as being addressed.

1038
00:48:16,540 --> 00:48:20,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: So our catch-up measures is the completion of the procurement documents,

1039
00:48:20,540 --> 00:48:23,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: the engineering plans, terms of references,

1040
00:48:23,540 --> 00:48:26,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: and the technical specifications and other details,

1041
00:48:26,540 --> 00:48:33,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: cost estimate will be expedited with the current target of completion

1042
00:48:33,540 --> 00:48:36,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: and submissions of major building requirements.

1043
00:48:36,540 --> 00:48:40,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: Secondly is the resolutions of the legal and implementation concerns

1044
00:48:40,540 --> 00:48:44,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: of which the PNRI is coordinating with appropriate legal authorities

1045
00:48:44,540 --> 00:48:47,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: and strengthening internal legal support

1046
00:48:47,540 --> 00:48:49,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: to facilitate timely resolutions of issues

1047
00:48:49,540 --> 00:48:52,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: that have been affected the project itself.

1048
00:48:52,540 --> 00:48:56,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: The implementation of the revised project roadmap

1049
00:48:56,540 --> 00:49:00,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: The revised roadmap is being used to utilize a clear sequence

1050
00:49:00,540 --> 00:49:04,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: for technical procurement and legal and implementation activities

1051
00:49:04,540 --> 00:49:07,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: to be bring to the major procurement packages

1052
00:49:07,540 --> 00:49:10,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: to the required level of readiness.

1053
00:49:10,540 --> 00:49:16,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: So right now po, we are now working expediting this process

1054
00:49:16,540 --> 00:49:20,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: to make sure that the utilization for the nuclear medicine project

1055
00:49:20,540 --> 00:49:22,540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: will be expedited.

1056
00:49:22,540 --> 00:49:23,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you.

1057
00:49:23,540 --> 00:49:25,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Mr. Chair,

1058
00:49:25,540 --> 00:49:31,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: at the time when the Philippines faces escalating climate catastrophes,

1059
00:49:31,540 --> 00:49:34,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: proposed fiscal year 2027 budget slashes

1060
00:49:34,540 --> 00:49:38,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pag-ASA's weather and climate forecasting and warning

1061
00:49:38,540 --> 00:49:45,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: programmed by 53.4% from 1.08 billion to 707.9 million.

1062
00:49:45,540 --> 00:49:48,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So the funding early warning projects and AI forecasting,

1063
00:49:48,540 --> 00:49:52,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: what is the position of DOST and PAGASA on this?

1064
00:49:52,540 --> 00:49:54,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: What will be the effect of this?

1065
00:49:54,540 --> 00:49:57,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: What would be the effect of this budget cut

1066
00:49:57,540 --> 00:49:59,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: in the operation of Pag-ASA?

1067
00:49:59,540 --> 00:50:01,540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: May I ask the Administrator?

1068
00:50:01,540 --> 00:50:03,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But before he answers, Your Honor,

1069
00:50:03,540 --> 00:50:09,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: essentially, many of the decrease in the current proposed 27 budget

1070
00:50:09,540 --> 00:50:16,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: is related to the actual completion of many of the capital outlay projects.

1071
00:50:16,540 --> 00:50:17,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So that is the reason.

1072
00:50:17,540 --> 00:50:22,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But I'll ask Administrator Cervantes to give the details.

1073
00:50:22,540 --> 00:50:23,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Thank you.

1074
00:50:23,540 --> 00:50:26,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And thank you, Secretary.

1075
00:50:26,540 --> 00:50:32,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Yes, there's a decrease in our total budget based on NEP next year,

1076
00:50:32,540 --> 00:50:36,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: about 12.3%.

1077
00:50:36,540 --> 00:50:41,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And yeah, particularly in the capital outlay

1078
00:50:41,540 --> 00:50:45,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: because there are projects that are already implemented

1079
00:50:45,540 --> 00:50:53,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: and it does not require additional continuing funding for next year.

1080
00:50:53,540 --> 00:51:02,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And of course, one of the reasons why there is a decrease in our budget,

1081
00:51:02,540 --> 00:51:05,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: particularly on the OOE component,

1082
00:51:05,540 --> 00:51:10,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: is because there's a decrease in the so-called CECA

1083
00:51:10,540 --> 00:51:12,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: or the Congressional Initiative last year,

1084
00:51:12,540 --> 00:51:16,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: which is now reduced for next year.

1085
00:51:16,540 --> 00:51:21,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And yeah, particularly on,

1086
00:51:21,540 --> 00:51:27,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: which includes one of the locally funded projects,

1087
00:51:27,540 --> 00:51:31,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: the EI for RP.

1088
00:51:31,540 --> 00:51:36,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: But anyway, this is continuing for next year.

1089
00:51:36,540 --> 00:51:40,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And in the succeeding years,

1090
00:51:40,540 --> 00:51:43,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: we will make sure that this will be proposed.

1091
00:51:43,540 --> 00:51:45,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: If I may add, Your Honor,

1092
00:51:45,540 --> 00:51:49,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: essentially, some of the things that we do at DOST

1093
00:51:49,540 --> 00:51:51,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: is to partner Pagano,

1094
00:51:51,540 --> 00:51:54,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: with other DOST agencies

1095
00:51:54,540 --> 00:51:57,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: like the Advanced Science and Technology Institute,

1096
00:51:57,540 --> 00:51:59,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and other international partners.

1097
00:51:59,540 --> 00:52:02,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: For example, he was mentioning about the use of AI

1098
00:52:02,540 --> 00:52:05,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: in weather and climate forecasting.

1099
00:52:05,540 --> 00:52:08,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And so, although it is not reflected in their budget,

1100
00:52:08,540 --> 00:52:10,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: because it's a research activity,

1101
00:52:10,540 --> 00:52:12,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we provide the funding

1102
00:52:12,540 --> 00:52:16,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: that would contribute to the improvement of their forecasting.

1103
00:52:16,540 --> 00:52:18,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So the target for that particular project

1104
00:52:18,540 --> 00:52:21,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: is to advance forecasting from five days

1105
00:52:21,540 --> 00:52:22,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to 14 days,

1106
00:52:22,540 --> 00:52:24,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and the compute time,

1107
00:52:24,540 --> 00:52:26,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: which takes three hours now,

1108
00:52:26,540 --> 00:52:28,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to every 15 minutes.

1109
00:52:28,540 --> 00:52:32,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So that everyone would understand,

1110
00:52:32,540 --> 00:52:34,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: DOST provides R&D money

1111
00:52:34,540 --> 00:52:37,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to improve the operational forecasting capability

1112
00:52:37,540 --> 00:52:39,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: of PAGASA.

1113
00:52:39,540 --> 00:52:41,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So that's why it's very important

1114
00:52:41,540 --> 00:52:43,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: that we really look into how

1115
00:52:43,540 --> 00:52:45,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: further we can improve PAGASA

1116
00:52:45,540 --> 00:52:48,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: by integrating efforts of other DOST agencies

1117
00:52:48,540 --> 00:52:50,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: or the universities.

1118
00:52:50,540 --> 00:52:51,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay, thank you.

1119
00:52:51,540 --> 00:52:52,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That's all for now, Mr. Chair.

1120
00:52:52,540 --> 00:52:54,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Thank you, Chairperson JV.

1121
00:52:54,540 --> 00:52:55,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Senator Joel.

1122
00:52:56,540 --> 00:52:58,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

1123
00:52:58,540 --> 00:53:02,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Of course, our Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance.

1124
00:53:04,540 --> 00:53:06,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm here to give my full support

1125
00:53:06,540 --> 00:53:08,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: to the budget of DOST.

1126
00:53:08,540 --> 00:53:09,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: As you're all aware,

1127
00:53:09,540 --> 00:53:12,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I've been sponsoring your budget

1128
00:53:12,540 --> 00:53:13,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: for quite some time.

1129
00:53:13,540 --> 00:53:16,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Of course, we have talked to and coordinate

1130
00:53:16,540 --> 00:53:19,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: with the DENPAGASA chief.

1131
00:53:19,540 --> 00:53:22,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Now, the Secretary of FIBOX.

1132
00:53:22,540 --> 00:53:23,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sorry, FIBOX.

1133
00:53:23,540 --> 00:53:26,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Now, DOST Secretary,

1134
00:53:26,540 --> 00:53:27,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sully Doom, Jr.

1135
00:53:27,540 --> 00:53:30,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: And of course, I've worked with so many of you.

1136
00:53:30,540 --> 00:53:33,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I just have one, two questions

1137
00:53:33,540 --> 00:53:35,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: that I'd like to raise.

1138
00:53:35,540 --> 00:53:38,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: One, my perennial question

1139
00:53:38,540 --> 00:53:47,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: on the contract of service.

1140
00:53:47,540 --> 00:53:50,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Contract of service and unfilled positions

1141
00:53:50,540 --> 00:53:54,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: in DOST.

1142
00:53:54,540 --> 00:53:57,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: In 2027, you have...

1143
00:53:59,540 --> 00:54:01,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I mean, in this year,

1144
00:54:01,540 --> 00:54:04,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: you have 962 unfilled positions.

1145
00:54:07,540 --> 00:54:12,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: You have 4,291 job orders

1146
00:54:12,540 --> 00:54:14,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: and the contract of service workers.

1147
00:54:14,540 --> 00:54:16,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Every year lagi kong binabantayan ito

1148
00:54:16,540 --> 00:54:18,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: para mapababa natin.

1149
00:54:18,540 --> 00:54:22,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Last year, 1 out of 10 government positions

1150
00:54:22,540 --> 00:54:23,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: are unfilled.

1151
00:54:23,540 --> 00:54:26,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: So nag-improve naman, pero konti lang eh.

1152
00:54:26,540 --> 00:54:28,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: One out of thirteen na ngayon.

1153
00:54:28,540 --> 00:54:31,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: But still, we wanted to find out

1154
00:54:31,540 --> 00:54:33,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: what is going on, dahil palaki nang

1155
00:54:33,540 --> 00:54:35,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: palaki pa rin itong job order at

1156
00:54:35,540 --> 00:54:39,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: contract of service.

1157
00:54:39,540 --> 00:54:42,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Samantalang yung unfilled positions nandiyan pa rin.

1158
00:54:42,540 --> 00:54:44,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, we wanted to find out, again,

1159
00:54:44,540 --> 00:54:46,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: if the problem behind this

1160
00:54:46,540 --> 00:54:49,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: could be a problem because

1161
00:54:49,540 --> 00:54:51,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung item in itself,

1162
00:54:51,540 --> 00:54:53,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: like in COA,

1163
00:54:53,540 --> 00:54:55,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: is not commensurate

1164
00:54:55,540 --> 00:54:58,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: with the position of the auditor.

1165
00:54:58,540 --> 00:55:00,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: For others,

1166
00:55:00,540 --> 00:55:03,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: the item is too low

1167
00:55:03,540 --> 00:55:06,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: and there are no takers.

1168
00:55:06,540 --> 00:55:08,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: For others,

1169
00:55:08,540 --> 00:55:10,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: there is no one who can enter the position

1170
00:55:10,540 --> 00:55:12,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: because there are not enough

1171
00:55:12,540 --> 00:55:15,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: applicants.

1172
00:55:15,540 --> 00:55:18,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, we just wanted to look into it.

1173
00:55:18,540 --> 00:55:19,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Secretary, please.

1174
00:55:19,540 --> 00:55:21,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yes, Mr. Chair.

1175
00:55:21,540 --> 00:55:23,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Essentially, some of the reasons

1176
00:55:23,540 --> 00:55:28,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: why positions would still reflect,

1177
00:55:28,540 --> 00:55:29,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the number would still reflect

1178
00:55:29,540 --> 00:55:30,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the field position

1179
00:55:30,540 --> 00:55:33,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: is that some retire

1180
00:55:33,540 --> 00:55:35,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and promotion will happen.

1181
00:55:35,540 --> 00:55:38,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But the increase in number of positions

1182
00:55:38,540 --> 00:55:41,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: would also be related to either Pag-asa

1183
00:55:41,540 --> 00:55:44,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: who has not filled up everything yet

1184
00:55:44,540 --> 00:55:46,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and the teachers in Pisay

1185
00:55:46,540 --> 00:55:49,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and the Health Technology Assessment Division.

1186
00:55:49,540 --> 00:55:52,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, we're in the process of really hiring people.

1187
00:55:52,540 --> 00:55:54,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Second, in Pisay, I think,

1188
00:55:54,540 --> 00:55:58,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: have you filled up the guidance counselor?

1189
00:55:58,540 --> 00:56:01,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Because the problem with the guidance counselor is

1190
00:56:01,540 --> 00:56:04,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for a registered psychologist,

1191
00:56:04,540 --> 00:56:06,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: there should be a master.

1192
00:56:06,540 --> 00:56:08,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, that is one of the problems.

1193
00:56:08,540 --> 00:56:10,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you.

1194
00:56:10,540 --> 00:56:12,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: That's also the case.

1195
00:56:12,540 --> 00:56:13,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yes.

1196
00:56:13,540 --> 00:56:15,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Guidance associated.

1197
00:56:15,540 --> 00:56:16,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Okay, ma'am, please.

1198
00:56:16,540 --> 00:56:18,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: Good afternoon, Your Honor.

1199
00:56:18,540 --> 00:56:20,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: So, based on our data,

1200
00:56:20,540 --> 00:56:23,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: we only have now four unfilled positions for GSA.

1201
00:56:23,540 --> 00:56:24,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: But we're still…

1202
00:56:24,540 --> 00:56:25,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: Four, number four.

1203
00:56:25,540 --> 00:56:26,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: Four, sir.

1204
00:56:26,540 --> 00:56:27,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: Okay.

1205
00:56:27,540 --> 00:56:29,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: But the big unfilled positions now, sir,

1206
00:56:29,540 --> 00:56:31,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: we have the teaching positions

1207
00:56:31,540 --> 00:56:35,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: because we just received the new positions last June.

1208
00:56:35,540 --> 00:56:38,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: So, we received 105 positions

1209
00:56:38,540 --> 00:56:39,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: and the promotion process

1210
00:56:39,540 --> 00:56:40,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: is ongoing.

1211
00:56:40,540 --> 00:56:42,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ma'am, would you confirm that right now,

1212
00:56:42,540 --> 00:56:45,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: there are 962 unfilled positions?

1213
00:56:45,540 --> 00:56:46,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Would you confirm this figure?

1214
00:56:46,540 --> 00:56:47,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: For Philippine Science, sir,

1215
00:56:47,540 --> 00:56:48,540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: we have 230.

1216
00:56:48,540 --> 00:56:50,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: No, for the entire department.

1217
00:56:50,540 --> 00:56:51,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Who can…

1218
00:56:51,540 --> 00:56:52,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: 1,000 plus.

1219
00:56:52,540 --> 00:56:54,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: That's all I have.

1220
00:56:54,540 --> 00:56:56,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't want to belabor the issue.

1221
00:56:56,540 --> 00:56:57,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: It's just that I wanted to make sure

1222
00:56:57,540 --> 00:56:58,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: that we are improving.

1223
00:56:58,540 --> 00:56:59,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I wanted to make sure

1224
00:56:59,540 --> 00:57:02,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: na bumababa yung unfilled positions.

1225
00:57:02,540 --> 00:57:05,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Bumababa din sana yung JOs

1226
00:57:05,540 --> 00:57:08,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: and contract of service

1227
00:57:08,540 --> 00:57:10,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: workers natin kasi laging issue yung

1228
00:57:10,540 --> 00:57:13,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because the endo is always an issue.

1229
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:16,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: And we want to follow suit

1230
00:57:16,540 --> 00:57:17,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: with the private sector.

1231
00:57:17,540 --> 00:57:19,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: But the number one violator of the endo

1232
00:57:19,540 --> 00:57:20,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: is the government.

1233
00:57:20,540 --> 00:57:23,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Another thing that I'd like to raise

1234
00:57:23,540 --> 00:57:26,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: is the problem I personally encountered,

1235
00:57:26,540 --> 00:57:27,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Mr. Chairman,

1236
00:57:27,540 --> 00:57:28,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: with some of my friends

1237
00:57:28,540 --> 00:57:30,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: coming from Bulacan.

1238
00:57:30,540 --> 00:57:31,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: They would wake up

1239
00:57:31,540 --> 00:57:32,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: in the wee hours of the morning,

1240
00:57:32,540 --> 00:57:33,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: 3 o'clock in the morning,

1241
00:57:33,540 --> 00:57:34,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: if I'm not mistaken.

1242
00:57:34,540 --> 00:57:36,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: They have a flight

1243
00:57:36,540 --> 00:57:39,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: in Naia,

1244
00:57:39,540 --> 00:57:43,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: the original,

1245
00:57:43,540 --> 00:57:44,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: the Naia one,

1246
00:57:44,540 --> 00:57:45,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Terminal 1,

1247
00:57:45,540 --> 00:57:47,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: ng 9 a.m.

1248
00:57:47,540 --> 00:57:49,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: So they left at 4.

1249
00:57:49,540 --> 00:57:50,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pagdating nila doon,

1250
00:57:50,540 --> 00:57:53,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: two hours before the flight,

1251
00:57:53,540 --> 00:57:55,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: sinabi na canceled yung flight

1252
00:57:55,540 --> 00:57:58,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: because apparently,

1253
00:57:58,540 --> 00:58:00,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: and I have no way of checking on this

1254
00:58:00,540 --> 00:58:01,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: because it's just my friend

1255
00:58:01,540 --> 00:58:02,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: who told me about it,

1256
00:58:02,540 --> 00:58:04,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: na ang PAGASA parang sinabi na

1257
00:58:04,540 --> 00:58:05,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: malakas na yung ulan, etc.

1258
00:58:05,540 --> 00:58:08,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: And that's why I'm going to bring this

1259
00:58:08,540 --> 00:58:10,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: definitely in the budget of DOTR,

1260
00:58:10,540 --> 00:58:11,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Mr. Chairman.

1261
00:58:11,540 --> 00:58:12,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sabi nila,

1262
00:58:12,540 --> 00:58:15,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: wala kasing instrument,

1263
00:58:15,540 --> 00:58:16,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: something, whatever, na

1264
00:58:16,540 --> 00:58:19,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: they couldn't make that decision

1265
00:58:19,540 --> 00:58:20,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: i-cancel yung flight.

1266
00:58:20,540 --> 00:58:22,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: But this is the worst part.

1267
00:58:22,540 --> 00:58:23,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Okay na sana yun eh,

1268
00:58:23,540 --> 00:58:25,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung first day na nangyari.

1269
00:58:25,540 --> 00:58:26,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Mr. Chairman, the next day,

1270
00:58:26,540 --> 00:58:27,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: so they went back home,

1271
00:58:27,540 --> 00:58:28,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: the next day,

1272
00:58:28,540 --> 00:58:30,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: the same thing happened.

1273
00:58:30,540 --> 00:58:34,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: They went from Bulacan to Naia,

1274
00:58:34,540 --> 00:58:35,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Terminal 1,

1275
00:58:35,540 --> 00:58:37,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: two hours again before the flight,

1276
00:58:37,540 --> 00:58:39,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: sinabi na canceled.

1277
00:58:39,540 --> 00:58:40,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: At yun na naman yung dahilan

1278
00:58:40,540 --> 00:58:42,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: because hindi ma-predict

1279
00:58:42,540 --> 00:58:44,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: kung malakas ba ang ulan, etc.

1280
00:58:44,540 --> 00:58:46,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Imagine, twice po nangyari doon

1281
00:58:46,540 --> 00:58:49,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa mga kababayan ko sa Bulacan

1282
00:58:49,540 --> 00:58:51,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: na bumyahe nang napakatagal na oras

1283
00:58:51,540 --> 00:58:53,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: only to find out that

1284
00:58:53,540 --> 00:58:55,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: na ika-cancel na yung flight.

1285
00:58:55,540 --> 00:58:56,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: So gusto ko hong malaman lang,

1286
00:58:56,540 --> 00:58:58,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: maintindihan

1287
00:58:58,540 --> 00:59:00,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung role ng PAGASA

1288
00:59:00,540 --> 00:59:02,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: dito sa usapin na ito.

1289
00:59:02,540 --> 00:59:04,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Nakapagbigay po ba kayo ng

1290
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:07,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: tamang datos at the right time

1291
00:59:07,540 --> 00:59:10,540
Senator Joel Villanueva: and the datos that the CAAP

PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: we don't have,

1421
01:02:05,660 --> 01:02:06,700

01:02:07,980 --> 01:02:08,820

Senator Joel Villanueva: how long do you,

1430
01:02:16,060 --> 01:02:16,860

01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:26,100
Senator Joel Villanueva: to cancel flights?

1440
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:28,760
Senator Joel Villanueva: Three hours lang po ba talaga?

1441
01:02:29,260 --> 01:02:29,540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Yes,

PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: very active ang habagat

1448
01:02:37,740 --> 01:02:39,340

1449
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:40,260
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: talagang may mga

1450
01:02:40,260 --> 01:02:41,740
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: thunderstorms

1451
01:02:41,740 --> 01:02:42,960
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: na occurrences

01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:04,000
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, wala.

1572
01:05:04,180 --> 01:05:05,440

1574
01:05:06,860 --> 01:05:07,980
Senator Joel Villanueva: Or talaga po bang gano'n

01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:10,780
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: That's why I mentioned

1577
01:05:10,780 --> 01:05:11,620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: earlier the

1578
01:05:11,620 --> 01:05:12,760
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: use of AI

1579
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:13,700
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to improve the

1586
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:22,200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: every 15 minutes.

1587
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:24,520
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But we really need to

01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:25,200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: have a massive

1589
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:26,120
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: input

01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:28,240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: funding.

1592
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:29,240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So that we can

1593
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,380
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: use AI

1594
01:05:31,380 --> 01:05:31,880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: because

1595
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:33,180
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: ang daming data

1596
01:05:33,180 --> 01:05:33,920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: na kailangan po

DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: sakupin.

1598
01:05:35,020 --> 01:05:36,520
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, every 15 minutes yun

1599
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:37,640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: ang target namin.

1600
01:05:38,100 --> 01:05:39,040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: It's still being

1601
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:39,560
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: researched

1602
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:40,660
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: if we can do that

1603
01:05:40,660 --> 01:05:41,320
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: kasi

1604
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,460
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: it's also being used

1605
01:05:43,460 --> 01:05:44,460
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: by our partner

1606
01:05:44,460 --> 01:05:45,120

1607
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:46,380

1608
01:05:46,380 --> 01:05:49,160

1609
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:50,120
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to military

1610
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:51,300
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and commercial

1611
01:05:51,300 --> 01:05:52,360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: airlines po.

1612
01:05:52,940 --> 01:05:54,460
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, every 15 minutes yun.

1613
01:05:54,540 --> 01:05:55,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Let me reframe

1614

1620
01:06:06,460 --> 01:06:07,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: We look at our phones,

1621
01:06:07,940 --> 01:06:08,080

1622
01:06:08,260 --> 01:06:09,580

1625
01:06:13,060 --> 01:06:13,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ganito yung dami

1626
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:14,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ng rainfall,

1627
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:14,960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ito yung percentage

1628
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:15,860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: of precipitation.

1629
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:18,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung ginagamit

1630
01:06:18,540 --> 01:06:19,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: huba natin

1631
01:06:19,420 --> 01:06:20,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: is at par

1632
01:06:20,260 --> 01:06:21,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: with the rest

1633
01:06:21,820 --> 01:06:22,400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: of the world

1634
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:23,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: in terms of

1635
01:06:23,060 --> 01:06:24,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: prediction of

1636
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:25,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: rainfall

1637
01:06:25,380 --> 01:06:26,780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and possible flooding

1638
01:06:26,780 --> 01:06:27,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: because

1639
01:06:27,580 --> 01:06:28,220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the most

1640
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:29,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the more we can predict it

1641
01:06:29,380 --> 01:06:30,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the more we can prepare

1642
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:32,340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: whether it's a flight

1643
01:06:32,340 --> 01:06:32,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or

1644
01:06:32,820 --> 01:06:35,080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: low-lying areas

1645
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:35,840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: so

1646
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:37,320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ngayon po

1647
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:38,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ang nagpre-predict po

1648
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:39,280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yan

1649
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:40,900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: sa alam ko is

1650
01:06:40,900 --> 01:06:42,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: NDDRMC, di ba?

1651
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:43,500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sila po yung nag-alert.

1652
01:06:43,820 --> 01:06:44,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Tama po ba?

1653
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:45,220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Do they get the info

1654
01:06:45,220 --> 01:06:45,780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: from Pag-asa?

1655
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:46,860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yeah, they get the info

1656
01:06:46,860 --> 01:06:47,360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: from Pag-asa

1657
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:47,640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: but

1658
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:49,640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the decision on what

1659
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:50,060
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: they

1660
01:06:50,060 --> 01:06:51,500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: of course if it's a weather

1661
01:06:51,500 --> 01:06:52,160
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: information

1662
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:53,740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: they get it from Pag-asa.

1663
01:06:53,860 --> 01:06:54,040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

1664
01:06:54,260 --> 01:06:55,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, galing rin po sa Pag-asa yun.

1665
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:56,880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, are we saying

1666
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:57,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: na

1667
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:58,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: three hours

1668
01:06:58,000 --> 01:06:58,880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: three hours lang talaga

1669
01:06:58,880 --> 01:06:59,500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung kaya nating

1670
01:06:59,500 --> 01:06:59,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ma-predict

1671
01:06:59,940 --> 01:07:02,460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: with a high confidence level?

1672
01:07:03,060 --> 01:07:03,900
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Of course, we have

1673
01:07:03,900 --> 01:07:05,040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: 24 hour 48

1674
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:05,340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: but

1675
01:07:05,340 --> 01:07:07,000
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the further we forecast

1676
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:08,140
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: hindi siya dumaganda yun.

1677
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:09,800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But pagdating sa bagyo kasi

1678
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:11,500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: may magandang protocol na tayo

1679
01:07:11,500 --> 01:07:12,840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: sa hangin kasi eh.

1680
01:07:13,060 --> 01:07:14,340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Pero pagdating sa rainfall

1681
01:07:14,340 --> 01:07:15,880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: especially during habagat

1682
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:17,280
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: which is very very

1683
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:18,620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: sudden sometimes

1684
01:07:18,620 --> 01:07:20,400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: hindi mo minsan makita

1685
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:21,360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: within three hours

1686
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:22,780
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: nagde-develop biglaan.

1687
01:07:22,860 --> 01:07:23,040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Okay.

1688
01:07:23,060 --> 01:07:24,100
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: That's why the solution is

1689
01:07:24,100 --> 01:07:25,180
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: make it shorter.

1690
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:25,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

1691
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:26,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Simple question.

1692
01:07:27,300 --> 01:07:27,860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Uh...

1693
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:28,780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Are we at par

1694
01:07:28,780 --> 01:07:29,640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: with technologies

1695
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:30,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: all over the world

1696
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:31,800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: pagdating po sa prediction

1697
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:32,500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or

1698
01:07:32,500 --> 01:07:34,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: lagging behind tayo?

1699
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:34,280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Meaning,

1700
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:35,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: if we had better

1701
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:36,900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I'm gonna say it

1702
01:07:36,900 --> 01:07:37,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: very broadly.

1703
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:38,640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: If we had better technology

1704
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:39,840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: could we have a more

1705
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:41,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: accurate way of predicting

1706
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:42,340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: rainfall and flooding

1707
01:07:42,340 --> 01:07:43,600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and these things?

1708
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:45,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or ito na po yun?

1709
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:46,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: This is really it.

1710
01:07:46,380 --> 01:07:47,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ito na yung the best

1711
01:07:47,060 --> 01:07:47,640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: that we can do.

1712
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:48,960
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Thank you, Your Honor.

1713
01:07:49,260 --> 01:07:49,940
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: In fact,

1714
01:07:50,340 --> 01:07:51,340
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: given the

1715
01:07:51,340 --> 01:07:52,000

PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: tools that we have

1718
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,280
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: comparable na rin

1719
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:57,000
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ang accuracy

1720
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:58,000
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ng accuracy

1721
01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:58,780
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ng ating forecast.

1722
01:07:59,060 --> 01:07:59,580
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Particularly,

1723
01:08:00,140 --> 01:08:00,860
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: in tracking

1724
01:08:00,860 --> 01:08:02,000
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: tropical cyclones,

1725
01:08:02,180 --> 01:08:03,960
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: mas expert po nga po tayo.

1726
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:04,300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

1727
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:05,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sa rainfall po?

1728
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:06,900
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Sa rainfall,

1729
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:08,800
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: honestly,

1730
01:08:08,980 --> 01:08:09,800
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: rainfall is really

1731
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:11,280
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: very difficult to predict.

1732
01:08:11,740 --> 01:08:12,780
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: May mga gaps pa yan.

1733
01:08:13,260 --> 01:08:14,360
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Given the

1734
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:15,620
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: advanced technology,

1735
01:08:16,100 --> 01:08:16,920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: even other

1736
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:17,960
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: advanced countries

1737
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:19,020
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: cannot predict

1738
01:08:19,020 --> 01:08:20,400
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: the accurate amount

1739
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:21,020
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: of rainfall

1740
01:08:21,020 --> 01:08:22,220
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: kailan

1741
01:08:22,220 --> 01:08:22,980
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: tatating

1742
01:08:22,980 --> 01:08:23,900
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: and anong mga

1743
01:08:23,900 --> 01:08:24,800
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: specific area

1744
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:25,280
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ng mga

1745
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:25,980
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: mga

1746
01:08:25,980 --> 01:08:26,860
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: pektuhan.

1747
01:08:27,660 --> 01:08:27,920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: But,

1748
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:29,380
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: because of this

1749
01:08:29,380 --> 01:08:30,860
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: network of

1750
01:08:30,860 --> 01:08:31,920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: doppler raiders,

1751
01:08:32,620 --> 01:08:34,080
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: at least we're

1752
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:37,080
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: able to provide

1753
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:37,740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yun lang naman

1754
01:08:37,740 --> 01:08:38,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: kung sa aming

1755
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:39,100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: marinigay for at par

1756
01:08:39,100 --> 01:08:39,720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or if we need

1757
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:41,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: further support here,

1758
01:08:41,580 --> 01:08:41,680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: diba?

1759
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:43,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, thank you for being honest.

1760
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:44,780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Senator Joel,

1761
01:08:44,900 --> 01:08:45,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: siguro kasi

1762
01:08:45,380 --> 01:08:46,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung mga airlines,

1763
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:47,460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: they also want to

1764
01:08:47,460 --> 01:08:48,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: cancel at the last minute

1765
01:08:48,380 --> 01:08:48,780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: kasi

1766
01:08:48,780 --> 01:08:50,140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: iniintindi rin nila

1767
01:08:50,140 --> 01:08:51,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung expenses nila.

1768
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:52,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, probably

1769
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:54,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: that could be

1770
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:55,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: a policy reform

1771
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:55,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: for

1772
01:08:55,620 --> 01:08:57,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: DOTR.

1773
01:08:58,000 --> 01:08:58,900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Where we

1774
01:08:58,900 --> 01:09:00,100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: require them

1775
01:09:00,100 --> 01:09:00,900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: to cancel

1776
01:09:00,900 --> 01:09:02,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: certain hours

1777
01:09:02,620 --> 01:09:02,980
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: before.

1778
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:03,600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Of course,

1779
01:09:03,660 --> 01:09:04,320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: if you're an airline,

1780
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:05,640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I can guess na gusto mo

1781
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:06,660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: last minute

1782
01:09:06,660 --> 01:09:07,320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: to the detriment

1783
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:08,420

01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:18,000

1987
01:12:39,660 --> 01:12:39,900

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: We're able to

1991
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:43,760

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: is really

1998
01:12:49,440 --> 01:12:50,380

01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:00,140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the science high schools,

2068
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:00,340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: no?

2069
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:02,100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: If you look at the alumni,

2070
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:03,320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: libo-libo na,

2071
01:14:03,440 --> 01:14:04,140

01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:08,460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: about these initiatives

2075
01:14:08,460 --> 01:14:09,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: which are quite

2076
01:14:09,380 --> 01:14:10,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: popular

01:14:10,440 --> 01:14:11,120

01:14:13,260 --> 01:14:13,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: In fact,

2085
01:14:17,660 --> 01:14:18,600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: My question is really

2086
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:20,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: with all of the research

2087
01:14:20,420 --> 01:14:21,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: na ginagawa natin,

2088
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:22,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: your first few slides

2089
01:14:22,620 --> 01:14:24,220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: showed a lot of pilots.

2090
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:26,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Maybe ano po ito,

2091
01:14:26,440 --> 01:14:27,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: suggestion lang po

2092
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:27,980
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ito kung kahit.

2093
01:14:28,540 --> 01:14:29,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: In my first term,

2094
01:14:30,060 --> 01:14:31,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we went to

2095
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:31,780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Taiwan

2096
01:14:31,780 --> 01:14:33,280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: to check on their

2097
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:34,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: MSME development program.

2098
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:36,640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And yung intersection po

2099
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:37,220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: kasi dito,

2100
01:14:37,740 --> 01:14:38,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung MSMEs nila

2101
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:40,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: were also inventors

2102
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:41,740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and scientists, no?

2103
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:43,180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, what they would do

2104
01:14:43,180 --> 01:14:44,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: was they would

2105
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:45,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: incubate

2106
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:47,800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the inventors

2107
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:48,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or the startups

2108
01:14:48,480 --> 01:14:49,680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or the scientists.

2109
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But yung magandaho doon,

2110
01:14:52,480 --> 01:14:53,320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: it wouldn't stop

2111
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:54,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: at a successful

2112
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: pilot

2113
01:14:57,580 --> 01:14:59,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or a successful prototype.

2114
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:11,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: They had a ready list of companies that would go to those, kasi ano po siya eh, naka-house siya in a facility, no?

2115
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:21,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, parang kunyari, kung tapos na yung programa, at the end of the 8th month, if it was an 8-month program, puro presentations na yan to companies.

2116
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:28,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, when they would present to us, they would say, oh, this is the name of the project.

2117
01:15:28,260 --> 01:15:32,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, kunyari, sunshine project, but this is their product.

2118
01:15:33,060 --> 01:15:36,140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And then the product would be another product already.

2119
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:46,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And then the deal there was, these companies na nakapila na, marami from Europe, from America, from, I guess, even locally sa Taiwan,

2120
01:15:46,940 --> 01:15:55,180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: they had a ready list of businesses that could work with the prototypes or the pilot programs.

2121
01:15:55,180 --> 01:16:00,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And yung go-to-market nila was within a year, no?

2122
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:08,220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Because those companies, they had the facilities, they had the factories, they had the ability to manufacture, they had the marketing arm, they had distribution,

2123
01:16:08,660 --> 01:16:10,800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: but they were always looking for new technologies.

2124
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:22,720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, binabanggit ko po ito kasi yung isang batikos, nilang po sa DOST, pero marami po sa mga government programs, is naiiwan siya bilang pilot, no?

2125
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:23,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Bilang prototype.

2126
01:16:23,940 --> 01:16:32,640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And unless we're willing to fund in a great way yung mga startups, they will have a difficult time scaling up.

2127
01:16:32,740 --> 01:16:37,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And many of them, especially yung mga more scientific-related, don't really want to become entrepreneurs,

2128
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:41,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: but they do want to see their products go-to-market or their inventions go-to-market.

2129
01:16:41,380 --> 01:16:52,220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, baka po we can also look at that, where every year when we see each other, we can talk about which of these products have actually scaled up.

2130
01:16:52,480 --> 01:16:52,800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: No?

2131
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:56,740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, I'm not talking about yung common services po na inaantabayanan ng taong bayan,

2132
01:16:57,300 --> 01:17:07,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: but if we can eventually point to somebody from set-up, somebody from your agricultural program or your food,

2133
01:17:08,380 --> 01:17:18,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: na yung na-develop na produkto, nakipag-partner with a business, at ngayon, nakakapag-scale up na,

2134
01:17:18,020 --> 01:17:22,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: at yung inventor, kung ito yung deal na nais niya, meron ng royalties,

2135
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:27,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we can move on to another invention or another research, di ba?

2136
01:17:28,140 --> 01:17:36,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I'm hoping, unless you have some that you can share, but I'm hoping we can go that path na hindi tayo nakukontento sa mga pilot at prototype,

2137
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:43,780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: but we really handhold until there's a scale-up, which would necessitate us to partner with other businesses, no?

2138
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:44,600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Here and abroad.

2139
01:17:45,140 --> 01:17:45,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sige po, Secretary.

2140
01:17:46,180 --> 01:17:50,300
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Thank you, Senator, for that very good suggestion.

2141
01:17:50,300 --> 01:17:52,300
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: In fact, that is the real purpose of...

2142
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:59,220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the four strategic pillars that we mentioned and the mantra Agham Ramdam.

2143
01:17:59,900 --> 01:18:17,720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: For example, in the textile industry business, we have the producers of cotton and fabric from pineapple, banana, abaca, or kawayan.

2144
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:19,880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And then we have the weaver.

2145
01:18:20,480 --> 01:18:21,720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So if you look at the ecosystem...

2146
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:28,900
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: The pain point there is that, okay, they produce, then somebody would weave, pero walang gumagawa ng sinulit.

2147
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:35,400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And so we decided, through PTI, to develop the Regional Yarn Production and Innovation Center.

2148
01:18:36,140 --> 01:18:37,920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And that's solved the problem now.

2149
01:18:38,480 --> 01:18:44,760
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yung gana ng mga cotton farmer, gusto nang magproduce nang magproduce kasi meron ng bumibili.

2150
01:18:45,500 --> 01:18:48,820
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So the Batangas Egg Producers Cooperative is another one.

2151
01:18:48,820 --> 01:18:49,820
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Their problem was...

2152
01:18:49,820 --> 01:18:56,120
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yung mga maninipis ang shell, madaling mabasag, tinatapon na lang yan.

2153
01:18:56,540 --> 01:19:00,020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But because of technology, they can now preserve it.

2154
01:19:00,300 --> 01:19:06,960
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And with the ITDI technology, yung spray drying technique, you can actually create powders out of it.

2155
01:19:07,460 --> 01:19:09,560
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And the shelf life will be at least two years.

2156
01:19:10,180 --> 01:19:10,860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, yun po.

2157
01:19:11,500 --> 01:19:13,720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Tomorrow, I'll visit another place.

2158
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:15,640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: It's called NutriDense Corporation.

2159
01:19:16,300 --> 01:19:18,640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: He started his business by utilizing...

2160
01:19:19,820 --> 01:19:22,740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: FNRI's nutritious product.

2161
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And the engagement is continuous.

2162
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:34,640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: The real strategy now, Your Honor, is to make sure that we actually evaluate the innovation ecosystem.

2163
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:38,960
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: There are producers, there are small enterprises, micro-enterprises.

2164
01:19:39,700 --> 01:19:42,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Then we have the consumer, but no one would...

2165
01:19:43,100 --> 01:19:43,860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: In the middle.

2166
01:19:43,860 --> 01:19:49,200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So we wanted to make sure that we have some firms in the middle.

2167
01:19:49,820 --> 01:19:58,780
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Before I came in, the setup would only provide assistance to the enterprise two times only.

2168
01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:01,100
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, binago po natin yun.

2169
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:05,720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, kung lumalaki siya, at dumadami yung supplier niya at yung mga sales niya,

2170
01:20:06,140 --> 01:20:11,500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: pa tayo tumitigil sa pagtulong palakihin natin pa magkaroon ng mas maraming sales, mas maraming trabaho.

2171
01:20:12,300 --> 01:20:13,620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, this is what we're doing.

2172
01:20:13,620 --> 01:20:19,300
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: In the electric vehicle industry, President and I visited a manufacturing plant.

2173
01:20:19,300 --> 01:20:22,420
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Who is willing to develop the e-trikes that we prototype.

2174
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:24,340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And willing siya.

2175
01:20:24,620 --> 01:20:28,800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Ang kailangan lang niya is continuous partnership with the DOST experts.

2176
01:20:29,420 --> 01:20:32,420
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And then very willing yung mga toda gusto nang bumili, inaanap na.

2177
01:20:32,820 --> 01:20:35,300
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, tama po yung inyong sinasabi.

2178
01:20:35,420 --> 01:20:43,880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And we have a program to really advertise to potential investors and industrial partners the different technologies.

2179
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:48,820
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Ang kailangan lang po siguro, mabago din yung university.

2180
01:20:49,300 --> 01:20:52,720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Ang framework na hanggang publication lang sila eh.

2181
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:55,200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, nire-record natin sila na hanggang market.

2182
01:20:55,800 --> 01:21:01,440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And also to make sure na pagdating sa mga university, hindi lang paper ang publication,

2183
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:05,020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: ang indicator for promotion, pati yung commercialization.

2184
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:13,320
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Kulang pa rin ng investment ang mga Filipino businessmen, like countries that you mentioned.

2185
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:14,880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Pero tinutuloy po natin.

2186
01:21:15,140 --> 01:21:18,340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, we will be having continuous dialogue with them.

2187
01:21:18,340 --> 01:21:23,880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Kaya yung looking for manufacturing partners that can scale production, yun po ang isang ginagawa.

2188
01:21:24,020 --> 01:21:26,940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And I think gumagana na po yun.

2189
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:28,200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: It would just take time.

2190
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:31,360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Hindi ka agad makukuha yung ganong mindset.

2191
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:35,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I would suggest, Secretary, because I'm also handling that ETI budget.

2192
01:21:36,780 --> 01:21:41,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ang request kasi ni Secretary Roque is to fund more fairs, trade fairs.

2193
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:47,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Baka pwedeng may isang major trade fair na lahat ng produkto ng,

2194
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:52,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: tinulungan ng DOST, who are already at that point that they're willing to go to market.

2195
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:57,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi, make no mistake, there are some who really want to do research, they don't want to go into business.

2196
01:21:57,460 --> 01:21:58,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, we should respect that.

2197
01:21:59,220 --> 01:22:02,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi, ano po talaga, hindi mo yan mapipilit na mag-commercialize.

2198
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:04,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And they want to do the research.

2199
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:05,960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, iba yung path nila.

2200
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:09,320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But there are some, I think, who really want to go to market.

2201
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:11,840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: At dalawa naman yan.

2202
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:17,220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Either they want to grow the business themselves, and I know there are programs that you have already for that, like set up.

2203
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:25,840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And there are those who would rather partner with another group and get royalties na lang.

2204
01:22:27,420 --> 01:22:43,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nalilink up nung ahensya na mga businesses to the startups and to the scientists are functioning businesses already with a track record in marketing products.

2205
01:22:43,820 --> 01:22:47,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, this is something we can also start to develop.

2206
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:49,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yes, Mr. Senator.

2207
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ako, I would suggest maganda ito with DTI.

2208
01:22:52,440 --> 01:22:56,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi, they do a lot of thematic trade fairs.

2209
01:22:56,960 --> 01:23:03,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Baka we can talk to Secretary Roque na may isa tayong trade fair din na the best of the best of the OST.

2210
01:23:03,940 --> 01:23:13,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And marami sa trade fairs po ng DTI, they really attract an international audience because yung trade attachés of DTI also are marketing this abroad.

2211
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:17,140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, baka maganda mong mag-link up tayo dyan.

2212
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:21,880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Innovative Startup Act actually is both a baby of the OST and DTI.

2213
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:22,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That's also my law.

2214
01:23:23,440 --> 01:23:30,980
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, baka magandang either through that framework or through another framework, we can look at how we can support this further.

2215
01:23:31,740 --> 01:23:42,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And our goal is in the next five years, for example, we have homegrown technologies and inventions here that eventually will be seen everywhere.

2216
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:47,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi, nangihinayag rin po ako ang maraming produkto at invention na...

2217
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:53,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi na nagpo-progress into a full market reach.

2218
01:23:53,460 --> 01:24:02,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Like, usually, nag-end up lang siya sa mga pasalubong center or nag-end up lang siya in a very localized marketing area.

2219
01:24:03,020 --> 01:24:07,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: While many of those technologies with the right support can actually really scale up.

2220
01:24:07,620 --> 01:24:09,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But again, the model is different.

2221
01:24:09,780 --> 01:24:16,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sometimes kasi marami sa mga DOST supported really want to continue researching.

2222
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:17,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, I'm sure...

2223
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:19,520
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I'm sure we can find a way to do that, sir.

2224
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:21,860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, we can work on that with DTI also.

2225
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:23,140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

2226
01:24:24,220 --> 01:24:26,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Let me ask about AI.

2227
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:34,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Is DOST or is it DICT, which is the main agency watching out for AI?

2228
01:24:34,480 --> 01:24:42,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And possible good things and bad things that will come from the AI revolution currently happening?

2229
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:47,740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: DOST was asked to lead the development of the National AI Strategy.

2230
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:54,100
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, we developed the AI Strategy Framework and Implementation Strategy.

2231
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: This was approved last May or last year.

2232
01:24:57,440 --> 01:24:58,360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Okay. So, one year na.

2233
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:02,860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And ginawa po natin doon, hinati po natin kung sino may gawa.

2234
01:25:03,220 --> 01:25:09,620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, pagdating po sa infrastructure and connectivity, DICT po talaga yun.

2235
01:25:09,740 --> 01:25:15,120
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Kaya marinig niyo po sila na nag-launch sila ng Infrastructure and Connectivity Master Plan.

2236
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:17,740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Pagdating naman sa governance and policy,

2237
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:23,960
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: kami will be talent creation like Masters and PhD, R&D and commercialization,

2238
01:25:24,100 --> 01:25:26,360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: of course, together with the private sector and DTI.

2239
01:25:27,140 --> 01:25:35,360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: On skills, on workforce development, of course, we have TESDA for the employees right now with the private sector,

2240
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and then DepEd and CHED, and of course, we will assist.

2241
01:25:39,140 --> 01:25:45,160
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Now, on the DOST side, I think pagdating po sa talagang operational, kami po yung advanced.

2242
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:47,160
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: As we have established the...

2243
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:53,360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: computing facility already, which we are actually increasing the compute.

2244
01:25:53,780 --> 01:25:57,220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, we established the National AI Center for Research and Innovation.

2245
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:02,060
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And one of the target is to provide AI as a service to MSME.

2246
01:26:02,620 --> 01:26:06,480
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, yung strategy po yan, hindi lang Advanced Science and Technology Institute.

2247
01:26:06,900 --> 01:26:10,700
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Lahat po ng director, regional office, ginagawa po natin niya.

2248
01:26:10,860 --> 01:26:14,600
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: May kanya-kanya pong development together with the RTC using AI.

2249
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:17,740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, we have concept.

2250
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:19,700
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: We have conceptualized a human-centered AI.

2251
01:26:20,440 --> 01:26:25,960
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, essentially, AI helping us perform better and of quality.

2252
01:26:26,060 --> 01:26:27,860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, that's under ASTI?

2253
01:26:28,300 --> 01:26:29,600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ang National AI Center?

2254
01:26:29,660 --> 01:26:30,900
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yes po, sa ASTI po.

2255
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:31,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay, sige.

2256
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:32,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kay Dr. De Leon, no?

2257
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:34,900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, ito naman po, mungkahi lang.

2258
01:26:36,900 --> 01:26:47,740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Are we starting to train an LLM or an AI on Filipino culture, values,

2259
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:48,800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: history?

2260
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:50,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Are we starting to do that?

2261
01:26:51,440 --> 01:26:52,440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: Good afternoon, Your Honor.

2262
01:26:52,440 --> 01:26:53,440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: Thank you, Secretary.

2263
01:26:53,440 --> 01:26:54,440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: Yes po.

2264
01:26:54,440 --> 01:27:01,440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: Fortunately, actually, Secretary Bispo has a very strong support on establishing our own LLM.

2265
01:27:01,440 --> 01:27:05,440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: Basic na rin po sa his personal experience because he goes throughout the country.

2266
01:27:05,440 --> 01:27:10,440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: So, most often than not, he would need such application.

2267
01:27:10,440 --> 01:27:14,440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: So hindi lang verbally, DOST is really supporting that program.

2268
01:27:14,440 --> 01:27:17,440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: In fact, kaka-approval po ng major program.

2269
01:27:17,440 --> 01:27:20,440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: On developing our own LLM.

2270
01:27:20,440 --> 01:27:29,440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: Covering not just the major languages but also traversing even yung mga mas kaunti pa na nagsasalita na languages.

2271
01:27:29,440 --> 01:27:33,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yes, and more importantly, cultural and history, no?

2272
01:27:33,440 --> 01:27:36,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, the National AI Center is in charge of that.

2273
01:27:36,440 --> 01:27:38,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Are you gonna make that open to the public?

2274
01:27:38,440 --> 01:27:40,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Is it already open to the public?

2275
01:27:40,440 --> 01:27:44,440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: We will make it available to the public hopefully by next year.

2276
01:27:44,440 --> 01:27:45,440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: So, i-distinguish ko lang po.

2277
01:27:45,440 --> 01:27:46,920
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: Yung NAICRI, National AI Center.

2278
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:48,920
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: National AI Center for Research Innovation.

2279
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:51,920
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: So, that's the infrastructure part.

2280
01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:54,920
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: The whole AI program being supported by DOST.

2281
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:57,920
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: Yung pong sa LLM program, it's a completely new program.

2282
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:04,920
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: But of course, in terms of utilizing the infrastructure being used, doon po sila nagtatagpo.

2283
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:06,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Is that in your budget?

2284
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:08,920
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: It will be. So, currently...

2285
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:11,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, it's not in the 2027 budget?

2286
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:14,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, it's OSEC? Nasa OSEC pa?

2287
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:15,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

2288
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:24,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, the importance of this is because the AI that we use is currently mostly the American AI, no?

2289
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:26,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: American-made AI.

2290
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:31,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I don't think marami pang nagdi-deep-seek sa Pilipinas but definitely Claude, Gemini, etc.

2291
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:33,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Mas maraming gumagamit.

2292
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:41,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And this was something I got familiarized to when I had my fellowship in the US.

2293
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:43,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na...

2294
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:48,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: As you keep on using the AI, the AI...

2295
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:51,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: You're training the AI but the AI is also training you.

2296
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:58,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And a lot of the time, the output that it gives you is from the perspective of the creators of the AI.

2297
01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:04,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, if it's American, it's some 32-year-old in Silicon Valley.

2298
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:09,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And whatever they input there, yun din yung nare-regurgitate back to you, diba?

2299
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:11,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, if we're not careful...

2300
01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:16,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Our countrymen, our youth are all using AI coming from other countries.

2301
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:23,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Eventually, there will be a type of assimilation of culture, language, and mores, and norms, no?

2302
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:26,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, having our own...

2303
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:33,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And of course, hindi naman tayo like India or China or Korea na may talagang may sariling AI na kinukomersyalize.

2304
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:40,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But having that AI, I think, that's trained on Filipino culture, values, and history, and language,

2305
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:42,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: will be...

2306
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:47,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And if we're able to have more people use that, I think it'll be very important, no?

2307
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:58,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi it's another way where we can preserve our culture while there's a current push for the two big AI countries, no?

2308
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:01,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: to dominate, no?

2309
01:30:01,620 --> 01:30:02,300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sige po, Sek.

2310
01:30:02,740 --> 01:30:03,480
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Of course,

2311
01:30:03,900 --> 01:30:05,260
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we will not compete with them.

2312
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:07,440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But we will be developing

2313
01:30:07,440 --> 01:30:08,960
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: our large language models

2314
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:10,440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: or even smaller language models

2315
01:30:10,440 --> 01:30:13,220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to address the specific challenges

2316
01:30:13,220 --> 01:30:14,320
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and problems we have.

2317
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:15,120
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Now,

2318
01:30:16,500 --> 01:30:17,940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: while we use

2319
01:30:17,940 --> 01:30:20,380
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: or develop large language models,

2320
01:30:20,580 --> 01:30:21,260
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the critical

2321
01:30:21,260 --> 01:30:24,580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: program or input

2322
01:30:24,580 --> 01:30:25,720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: or fuel to the AI

2323
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:27,280
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: would be our sovereign data.

2324
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:27,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Exactly.

2325
01:30:27,940 --> 01:30:29,740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So DOSD po is developing

2326
01:30:29,740 --> 01:30:33,400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and if you heard of the word gates,

2327
01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:34,860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: hindi po si Bill Gates,

2328
01:30:34,940 --> 01:30:35,820
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: but it's called

2329
01:30:35,820 --> 01:30:37,040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the Geospatial Analytics

2330
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:38,920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and Technology Solutions Platform.

2331
01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:40,940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: We're digitizing all data

2332
01:30:40,940 --> 01:30:41,840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: that we have

2333
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:43,040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and other partners

2334
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:44,800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and peg every data

2335
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:46,580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to a specific geographic location

2336
01:30:46,580 --> 01:30:49,200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: so that we can interoperate everything

2337
01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:50,340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and use AI

2338
01:30:50,340 --> 01:30:51,620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to do analytics.

2339
01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:54,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: We will create our own

2340
01:30:54,540 --> 01:30:56,640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: data lake house for that

2341
01:30:56,640 --> 01:30:58,780
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and we are already operating it

2342
01:30:58,780 --> 01:30:59,720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and all the regional

2343
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:01,000
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and provincial operations

2344
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,120
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: together with LGUs

2345
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:04,120
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: or academic partners

2346
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:05,800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: that would want to use that system

2347
01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:08,480
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: are free to use that.

2348
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:09,820
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Of course,

2349
01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:11,660
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we're trying to finish up the platform

2350
01:31:11,660 --> 01:31:13,760
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: para yung data

2351
01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:15,240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: will just go into the lake house

2352
01:31:15,240 --> 01:31:16,800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: para magamit po natin yun

2353
01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:18,360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for our own AI use.

2354
01:31:18,480 --> 01:31:18,680
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yes.

2355
01:31:19,180 --> 01:31:20,400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yung ating ginagaw

2356
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:21,860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: in tandem with the AI center.

2357
01:31:22,020 --> 01:31:23,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But let's not forget na

2358
01:31:23,620 --> 01:31:24,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung training yan

2359
01:31:24,580 --> 01:31:26,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: is also retro...

2360
01:31:26,020 --> 01:31:26,300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I mean,

2361
01:31:26,440 --> 01:31:27,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: it's things in the past

2362
01:31:27,420 --> 01:31:28,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: not just things

2363
01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:29,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: prospectively.

2364
01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:30,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Diba?

2365
01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:31,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, for example,

2366
01:31:32,100 --> 01:31:32,880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: if we're using

2367
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:34,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Chinese AI

2368
01:31:34,540 --> 01:31:35,500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and you talk about

2369
01:31:35,500 --> 01:31:36,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: South China Sea,

2370
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:37,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: West Philippine Sea,

2371
01:31:37,700 --> 01:31:38,400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: iba yung perspective

2372
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:39,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: na ilalabas niya.

2373
01:31:39,860 --> 01:31:40,080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Diba?

2374
01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:42,300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yun yung mga mahalaga.

2375
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:44,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or even just the fact

2376
01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:44,720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: that it's become

2377
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:45,720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: such an important source

2378
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:46,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: of information

2379
01:31:46,380 --> 01:31:48,280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and the perspective

2380
01:31:48,280 --> 01:31:50,080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: is not a Filipino perspective.

2381
01:31:50,440 --> 01:31:50,520
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Diba?

2382
01:31:50,680 --> 01:31:52,180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, we're really...

2383
01:31:52,180 --> 01:31:54,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That's a possible danger

2384
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:54,500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yan down there.

2385
01:31:54,540 --> 01:31:55,340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I'm sure you're very aware

2386
01:31:55,340 --> 01:31:56,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: of that, Dr. De Leon.

2387
01:31:56,300 --> 01:31:56,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So,

2388
01:31:57,340 --> 01:31:58,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: well,

2389
01:31:58,440 --> 01:31:59,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we hope that

2390
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:00,640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: you can launch this,

2391
01:32:00,780 --> 01:32:01,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: make it available

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Can we

2638
01:36:32,420 --> 01:36:33,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: improve

2639
01:36:33,620 --> 01:36:35,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: our

01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:37,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: response

2641
01:36:37,060 --> 01:36:39,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: for all the flooding

2642
01:36:39,580 --> 01:36:40,860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: na nakikita ho natin?

2643
01:36:41,700 --> 01:36:41,880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Naman,

2644
01:36:41,900 --> 01:36:43,700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: monitor nyo naman po yan,

2645
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:43,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: diba?

2646
01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:44,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Tama naman na

2647
01:36:44,940 --> 01:36:46,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the flooding has gotten worse,

2648
01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:46,720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: right?

2649
01:36:46,860 --> 01:36:47,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Is that

2650
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:49,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: do you have scientific

2651
01:36:49,440 --> 01:36:50,340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: evidence to that?

2652
01:36:50,460 --> 01:36:51,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or is that just a

2653
01:36:51,420 --> 01:36:52,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: feeling lang po yun?

2654
01:36:53,100 --> 01:36:53,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Parang

2655
01:36:53,480 --> 01:36:55,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: meron naman ata, no?

2656
01:36:55,140 --> 01:36:56,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Natatrack nyo po ba?

2657
01:36:56,000 --> 01:37:25,980
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Ang hazard siguro nakikita natin nagiging more extremes because there are more stronger typhoons, in fact, even in the absence of tropical cyclones, recently, ang impacts ng tabagat, nakikita natin, ay nagdulot ng mga malakas ng mga pagbaha.

2658
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:28,280
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: But, of course,

2659
01:37:28,420 --> 01:37:29,360
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ang risks

2660
01:37:29,360 --> 01:37:30,180
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ay

2661
01:37:30,180 --> 01:37:31,680
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: nag-increase

2662
01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:32,640
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: because of

2663
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:34,220
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: yung mga exposed

2664
01:37:34,220 --> 01:37:35,660
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: communities.

2665
01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:38,260
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: If you have compared

2666
01:37:38,260 --> 01:37:39,520
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: several years ago,

2667
01:37:39,820 --> 01:37:40,180
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ngayon,

2668
01:37:41,500 --> 01:37:42,220
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: maraming mga

2669
01:37:42,220 --> 01:37:42,920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: structures,

2670
01:37:43,160 --> 01:37:43,720
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: communities

2671
01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:45,140
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: along the

2672
01:37:45,140 --> 01:37:48,620
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: areas that are exposed to these hazards,

2673
01:37:50,540 --> 01:37:51,240
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: nagiging

2674
01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:53,920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ang impacts, no?

2675
01:37:54,020 --> 01:37:55,200
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Nagiging enhanced.

2676
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:55,980
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: But,

2677
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:58,220
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: one of the

2678
01:37:58,220 --> 01:37:59,920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: initiatives na ginagawa ng

2679
01:37:59,920 --> 01:38:00,960
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: PAGASA now,

2680
01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:03,740
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: we started to operationalize impact.

2681
01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:05,600
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Ito po yung, hindi lamang

2682
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:07,360
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: forecasting the hazards, but

2683
01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:09,700
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: focus on the

2684
01:38:09,700 --> 01:38:11,640
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: impacts. Ang tawag namin dito,

2685
01:38:11,740 --> 01:38:13,180
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: impact-based forecasting.

2686
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:15,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung Project NOAA po is with

2687
01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:16,400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: PAGASA, right? No?

2688
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:19,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ah, with UP. Okay.

2689
01:38:20,100 --> 01:38:20,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But, see,

2690
01:38:21,540 --> 01:38:23,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the hazard maps on Project NOAA,

2691
01:38:24,740 --> 01:38:25,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: that's updated.

2692
01:38:25,620 --> 01:38:27,400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And you coordinate naman ho siguro on that?

2693
01:38:27,580 --> 01:38:29,080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or you don't have anything to do with that?

2694
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:31,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: You get rainfall data.

2695
01:38:33,300 --> 01:38:35,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Project NOAA gets rainfall data from PAGASA.

2696
01:38:36,580 --> 01:38:37,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yes, no?

2697
01:38:39,260 --> 01:38:39,780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sige.

2698
01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:41,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi, I'm thinking,

2699
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:42,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: how can we be more

2700
01:38:42,920 --> 01:38:45,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: responsive

2701
01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:46,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: sa mga

2702
01:38:46,020 --> 01:38:49,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: LGUs, no? Because I think itong

2703
01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:51,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: last few weeks of Habagat,

2704
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:53,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: parang maraming areas na hindi

2705
01:38:53,380 --> 01:38:54,880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: nababaha noon na

2706
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:55,600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: nababaha.

2707
01:38:55,620 --> 01:38:56,700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Baha na ulit ngayon, eh, no?

2708
01:38:56,740 --> 01:38:58,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sige po, Sek, if you have something to share.

2709
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:01,440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: The real problem with flood is not simply

2710
01:39:01,440 --> 01:39:03,520
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: forecasting it, but essentially

2711
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:05,600
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: evaluating the

2712
01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:07,420
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: changes that happens

2713
01:39:07,420 --> 01:39:09,340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: in a local government with time.

2714
01:39:09,860 --> 01:39:11,040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: As they, for example,

2715
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:13,280
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: concretize and would

2716
01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:15,240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: convert many surfaces

2717
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:17,400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to asphalt or concrete,

2718
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:19,360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: then the rainfall

2719
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:21,640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: that instead of going down the soil

2720
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:23,400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: would just flow and run off

2721
01:39:23,400 --> 01:39:25,540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: towards the drainage. And sometimes,

2722
01:39:25,540 --> 01:39:26,160
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the drainage

2723
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:29,060
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: is not enough already.

2724
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:30,580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, kulang.

2725
01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:33,520
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And, of course, nagkakaroon din ng pagbara

2726
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:35,500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: yung mga drainage, yung ilog

2727
01:39:35,500 --> 01:39:37,260
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: na dating malapat ay kumikipot

2728
01:39:37,260 --> 01:39:38,760
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: because of urbanization.

2729
01:39:39,340 --> 01:39:41,360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, there are many factors. Those should also

2730
01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:43,520
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: be monitored. That is why

2731
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:45,380
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: DOST

2732
01:39:45,380 --> 01:39:47,400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and, of course, with PHIVOX

2733
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:48,640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: in partnership with

2734
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:50,920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: DISHUT, developed

2735
01:39:50,920 --> 01:39:52,840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: a PlanSmart

2736
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:54,920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for Sustainable Human Settlement.

2737
01:39:55,540 --> 01:39:57,220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Na i-automate yung mga

2738
01:39:57,220 --> 01:39:58,580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: hazard and risk assessment

2739
01:39:58,580 --> 01:40:01,060
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: so that they spend more time

2740
01:40:01,060 --> 01:40:02,420
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: on designing their

2741
01:40:02,420 --> 01:40:05,080
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: settlement more rather than getting

2742
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:07,140
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: data. And so, this

2743
01:40:07,140 --> 01:40:09,180
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: need to be continuously done.

2744
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:10,980
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Hindi lang one-off planning and

2745
01:40:10,980 --> 01:40:11,740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: bahala ka na.

2746
01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:15,160
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: The second is the HANDA integrated platform

2747
01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:17,240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: which was also mentioned.

2748
01:40:17,520 --> 01:40:17,960
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: It is

2749
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:20,480
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: a one-stop shop for

2750
01:40:20,480 --> 01:40:23,000
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: warning. So, if you just use

2751
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:25,140
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the GPS of your phone, it will

2752
01:40:25,140 --> 01:40:26,060
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: tell you exactly

2753
01:40:26,060 --> 01:40:28,940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: ano yung active weather system,

2754
01:40:29,040 --> 01:40:30,200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: kung may earthquake na recent,

2755
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:33,120
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: or active volcanoes erupting, or tsunami warning.

2756
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:34,900
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: You can also use AI

2757
01:40:34,900 --> 01:40:36,240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to determine the hazards.

2758
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:37,400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, essentially,

2759
01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:40,860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: from the various applications around,

2760
01:40:41,440 --> 01:40:43,020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: one can actually be informed of what

2761
01:40:43,020 --> 01:40:44,820
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: can happen. So, the impact-based

2762
01:40:44,820 --> 01:40:46,800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: forecasting of pag-asa is very critical.

2763
01:40:47,740 --> 01:40:49,040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, yun po is how to

2764
01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:51,080
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: ensure that people understand

2765
01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:52,920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: it. And kailan talagang

2766
01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:54,300
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: palakasin sa local level.

2767
01:40:55,140 --> 01:40:56,700
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yun po yung sigurong kailan.

2768
01:40:56,720 --> 01:40:59,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Let me ask, Secretary, kung kunyari, isa akong

2769
01:40:59,020 --> 01:41:00,340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: munisipyo,

2770
01:41:01,140 --> 01:41:03,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: tapos napapansin ko, gumagrabi

2771
01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:04,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung flooding sa amin.

2772
01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:06,980
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Would you have that service where

2773
01:41:06,980 --> 01:41:08,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: an LGU,

2774
01:41:09,260 --> 01:41:11,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: kasi yung inabanggit nyo

2775
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:12,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: kanina, settlements po yun, di ba?

2776
01:41:12,900 --> 01:41:14,660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, hindi naman siya LGU-wide.

2777
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:17,040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But, would you have that

2778
01:41:17,040 --> 01:41:18,960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: capability to

2779
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:20,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: advise an LGU, for example,

2780
01:41:20,820 --> 01:41:22,720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: na looking at all of the data

2781
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:24,640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: from pag-asa, from PHIVOX,

2782
01:41:25,140 --> 01:41:27,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: our AI platform, and all of that.

2783
01:41:27,700 --> 01:41:28,220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ito yung

2784
01:41:28,220 --> 01:41:30,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: recommendations namin to an LGU

2785
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:33,140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: to be more safe,

2786
01:41:33,300 --> 01:41:35,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or to be more

2787
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:37,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ready. Ito yung mga area na kailangan

2788
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:38,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung bantayan. Ito yung mga red zones

2789
01:41:38,940 --> 01:41:41,140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: natin dito. You should evacuate people

2790
01:41:41,140 --> 01:41:42,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: from this part because

2791
01:41:42,940 --> 01:41:44,700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: any kind of rainfall,

2792
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:46,800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or rainfall even of a minimal

2793
01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:48,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: capacity will flood this area.

2794
01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:50,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Would the OST have that

2795
01:41:50,020 --> 01:41:52,840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: capability to support our LGUs?

2796
01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:55,060
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yes. The apps actually are LGU-based.

2797
01:41:55,140 --> 01:41:56,940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Even though the shoot settlement planning

2798
01:41:56,940 --> 01:41:58,680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: is LGU-based. Ah, hindi lang siya

2799
01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:01,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: parang township? Hindi, hindi. Talagang LGU

2800
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:02,620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: yung boundary. Okay. So,

2801
01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:04,880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: there are many apps that have been

2802
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:06,780
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: developed by PHIVOX when I was

2803
01:42:06,780 --> 01:42:09,060
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: their director. So, these are available.

2804
01:42:09,220 --> 01:42:10,640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: That's why, very big

2805
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:12,900
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: activity that we have is to train them on the use

2806
01:42:12,900 --> 01:42:14,920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: of the application. The real concern

2807
01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:16,620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: though is, siyempre,

2808
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:17,920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we're

2809
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:20,960
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: really, in some

2810
01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:22,640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: areas, talagang maliit pa lang na walang

2811
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:24,980
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: babahin. And so, kailangan talaga

2812
01:42:24,980 --> 01:42:26,760
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: nilang tingnan kung ano yung

2813
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:29,000
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: intervention doon. And that

2814
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:30,500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: is why when we show the various

2815
01:42:30,500 --> 01:42:33,020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: applications that we have

2816
01:42:33,020 --> 01:42:34,880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for flood management or water management,

2817
01:42:35,980 --> 01:42:37,080
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: kailangan talagang

2818
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:39,020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: may tumutok doon sa kanila. Kasi siyempre,

2819
01:42:39,140 --> 01:42:41,020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: hindi naman tayo 24

2820
01:42:41,020 --> 01:42:42,580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: hour by 7 para lang sa kanila.

2821
01:42:42,900 --> 01:42:44,600
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, the apps are there to guide them.

2822
01:42:45,260 --> 01:42:45,900
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But, and then,

2823
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:48,620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: they can have their own

2824
01:42:48,620 --> 01:42:50,700
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: standard operating procedure

2825
01:42:50,700 --> 01:42:52,620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for their locality.

2826
01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:54,920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: They can consult with you. The LGU can consult with you.

2827
01:42:54,980 --> 01:42:56,420
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Part 1 ng aming service siya.

2828
01:42:56,460 --> 01:42:58,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Have you done a, like an

2829
01:42:58,940 --> 01:42:59,720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: LGU

2830
01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:02,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: plan na ito yung

2831
01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:04,700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: hazard, ito yung mga areas na

2832
01:43:04,700 --> 01:43:05,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: delikado, and

2833
01:43:05,920 --> 01:43:08,280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: which LGUs po yan?

2834
01:43:09,140 --> 01:43:10,600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ano lang, so

2835
01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:11,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we know, diba?

2836
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:13,760
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Si Dr. Bacong.

2837
01:43:14,900 --> 01:43:16,900
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: The DHSUD has already

2838
01:43:16,900 --> 01:43:18,540
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: trained, I think,

2839
01:43:18,640 --> 01:43:20,720
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: more than 300 LGUs.

2840
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:22,940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Oh, really? And you partnered with the DHSUD?

2841
01:43:22,940 --> 01:43:24,900
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: The PlanSmart for

2842
01:43:24,980 --> 01:43:26,140
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: Sustainable Communities, which

2843
01:43:26,140 --> 01:43:28,280
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: PHIVOLCS developed.

2844
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:30,680
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: So, it's now owned by the DHSUD.

2845
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:32,640
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: But, of course, we still continue to

2846
01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:33,600
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: give support

2847
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:36,840
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: kapag may questions sila

2848
01:43:36,840 --> 01:43:38,500
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: on how they,

2849
01:43:39,340 --> 01:43:40,960
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: papano i, if there are

2850
01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:42,140
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: problems on the platform.

2851
01:43:42,640 --> 01:43:45,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or if you're updating the data.

2852
01:43:45,300 --> 01:43:46,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: If you're updating the data.

2853
01:43:46,640 --> 01:43:48,220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, you worked with the DHSUD.

2854
01:43:48,620 --> 01:43:50,660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: The DHSUD uses your data and

2855
01:43:50,660 --> 01:43:52,800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the apps when they

2856
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:53,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: roll out.

2857
01:43:53,380 --> 01:43:55,320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, they can guide

2858
01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:57,720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: all of their new areas also, and old areas.

2859

2861
01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:03,220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And then, I developed a program

2862
01:44:03,220 --> 01:44:05,240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: which is operated by the regional office.

2863

2866
01:44:12,220 --> 01:44:13,240

01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:15,340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: gustong mas advanced, we can

2868
01:44:15,340 --> 01:44:17,320
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: develop a digital twin for them.

2869
01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:19,580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: You can actually create a three-dimensional

2870
01:44:19,580 --> 01:44:21,400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: computer-based

2871
01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:23,320
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: twin of

2872
01:44:23,380 --> 01:44:25,400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the physical, and then do the hazard

2873
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:27,460
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: modeling. So, we also partner

2874
01:44:27,460 --> 01:44:28,940

2875
01:44:28,940 --> 01:44:31,180

2877
01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:35,180
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: ng LGU, maraming

2878
01:44:35,180 --> 01:44:37,200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: intervention na pwede kawin, but they have to have

2879
01:44:37,200 --> 01:44:39,340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: their own personnel to be our

2880
01:44:39,340 --> 01:44:41,520
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: counterpart. And yung ganyan po,

2881
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:43,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: they go to you, or you go to them?

2882

3012
01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:11,040

3023
01:48:27,580 --> 01:48:29,000

3024
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:30,520

3320
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:22,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Who of course are

3321
01:56:22,380 --> 01:56:24,140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Huge multinational companies

3322
01:56:24,140 --> 01:56:25,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: All started as

3323
01:56:25,240 --> 01:56:27,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Smaller companies

3324
01:56:27,160 --> 01:56:29,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That did work for

3325
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:31,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Other bigger companies

3326
01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:33,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nagsimula sa maliliit na facilities

3327
01:56:33,200 --> 01:56:33,960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Eventually

3328
01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:35,860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Now they have their own brands

3329
01:56:35,860 --> 01:56:36,780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And they're able to develop

3330
01:56:36,780 --> 01:56:37,700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Their own technologies

3331
01:56:37,700 --> 01:56:39,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So along the way

3332
01:56:39,020 --> 01:56:40,040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nakita namin na

3333
01:56:40,040 --> 01:56:42,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung pag-provide pala ng information

3334
01:56:42,540 --> 01:56:43,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Was already a big support

3335
01:56:43,820 --> 01:56:45,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So again

3336
01:56:45,020 --> 01:56:46,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Dito papasok na ngayon yung

3337
01:56:46,820 --> 01:56:48,280

3338
01:56:48,280 --> 01:56:49,280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: The negosyo center

3339
01:56:49,280 --> 01:56:50,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Maybe kung

3340
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:51,600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Online

3341
01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:53,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: It can be our platforms

3342
01:56:53,620 --> 01:56:54,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So

3343
01:56:54,140 --> 01:56:55,340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And then yung

3344
01:56:55,340 --> 01:56:56,500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sinusupport natin

3345
01:56:56,500 --> 01:56:57,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Through grants

3346
01:56:57,580 --> 01:56:58,520
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or through loans

3347
01:56:58,520 --> 01:56:59,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or through equipment

3348
01:56:59,920 --> 01:57:00,880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Which you already do

3349
01:57:00,880 --> 01:57:02,520
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: There's that set there

3350
01:57:02,520 --> 01:57:04,740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And then yung mga

3351
01:57:04,740 --> 01:57:05,960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Lumaki na

3352
01:57:05,960 --> 01:57:07,140

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And support further

3356
01:57:09,900 --> 01:57:11,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So they can share their

3357
01:57:11,200 --> 01:57:12,460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Learnings across the system

3358
01:57:12,460 --> 01:57:13,220

3360
01:57:14,240 --> 01:57:15,120

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: 20%

3362
01:57:16,100 --> 01:57:17,180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Tsaka yung set na

3363
01:57:17,180 --> 01:57:18,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: 10% na lumaki

3364
01:57:18,560 --> 01:57:20,180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nagkaroon ng

3365
01:57:20,180 --> 01:57:21,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Direct interventions

3366
01:57:21,020 --> 01:57:21,680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung gobyerno

3367
01:57:21,680 --> 01:57:22,340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nang Taiwan

3368
01:57:22,340 --> 01:57:23,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nang Taiwan

3369
01:57:23,620 --> 01:57:24,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So

3370
01:57:24,140 --> 01:57:24,700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So one was

3371
01:57:24,700 --> 01:57:25,980
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Providing the facilities

3372
01:57:25,980 --> 01:57:27,340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: We don't really

3373
01:57:27,340 --> 01:57:28,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: We don't really

3374
01:57:28,020 --> 01:57:28,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: House them

3375
01:57:28,580 --> 01:57:29,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or have that

3376
01:57:29,120 --> 01:57:29,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But at least

3377
01:57:29,480 --> 01:57:30,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: May mga TBI tayo

3378
01:57:30,620 --> 01:57:31,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: May mga maker

3379
01:57:31,540 --> 01:57:32,960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Labs

3380
01:57:32,960 --> 01:57:33,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And all of that

3381
01:57:33,560 --> 01:57:34,280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Maker spaces

3382
01:57:34,280 --> 01:57:37,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And yung market linkage

3383
01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:38,740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And what we saw

3384
01:57:38,740 --> 01:57:39,220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Was that

3385
01:57:39,220 --> 01:57:40,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And that's why

3386
01:57:40,260 --> 01:57:40,960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: My first questions

3387
01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:42,080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Were about scaling up

3388
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:43,180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So yun po

3389
01:57:43,180 --> 01:57:44,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: We haven't unlocked

3390
01:57:44,440 --> 01:57:45,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That pa talaga

3391
01:57:45,240 --> 01:57:47,340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Whether that scaling up

3392
01:57:47,340 --> 01:57:48,740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Is a market solution

3393
01:57:48,740 --> 01:57:49,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Meaning

3394
01:57:49,160 --> 01:57:50,680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: For example

3395
01:57:50,680 --> 01:57:51,040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Like

3396
01:57:51,040 --> 01:57:52,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Secretary Lopez

3397
01:57:52,200 --> 01:57:53,220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Of DTI before

3398
01:57:53,220 --> 01:57:54,100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Would have a

3399
01:57:54,100 --> 01:57:55,900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Meron siyang

3400
01:57:55,900 --> 01:57:57,300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Area for MSME

3401
01:57:57,300 --> 01:57:58,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sa mga malls

3402
01:57:58,260 --> 01:57:58,880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Which

3403
01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:00,460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: They did before

3404
01:58:00,460 --> 01:58:00,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: With DTI

3405
01:58:00,920 --> 01:58:01,800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung go local nila

3406
01:58:01,800 --> 01:58:02,100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Diba

3407
01:58:02,100 --> 01:58:03,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So it could be

3408
01:58:03,060 --> 01:58:03,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: A market intervention

3409
01:58:03,920 --> 01:58:04,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: It could be a

3410
01:58:04,440 --> 01:58:05,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Partnership intervention

3411
01:58:05,380 --> 01:58:06,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Like in Taiwan

3412
01:58:06,760 --> 01:58:07,320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na you partner

3413
01:58:07,320 --> 01:58:08,040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: With a company

3414
01:58:08,040 --> 01:58:08,900

01:58:08,900 --> 01:58:10,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sanay sila

3416
01:58:10,380 --> 01:58:10,860

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Technologies to market

3418
01:58:12,340 --> 01:58:13,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So

3419
01:58:13,260 --> 01:58:14,180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Maganda yung deal

3425
01:58:19,900 --> 01:58:21,100

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nagagawa

3442
01:58:36,340 --> 01:58:37,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Which is really

3443
01:58:37,200 --> 01:58:38,500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Providing an ecosystem

3444
01:58:38,500 --> 01:58:39,020

3445
01:58:39,020 --> 01:58:40,500

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Partnership

3451
01:58:44,580 --> 01:58:46,900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And to be fair

3452
01:58:46,900 --> 01:58:50,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Very few countries

3453
01:58:50,620 --> 01:58:51,320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Actually are able

3454
01:58:51,320 --> 01:58:52,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: To provide that service

3455
01:58:52,260 --> 01:58:53,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: As far as I know

3456
01:58:53,060 --> 01:58:53,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Alam ko

3457
01:58:53,580 --> 01:58:54,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: China can do that

3458
01:58:54,420 --> 01:58:55,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Taiwan does that

3459
01:58:55,260 --> 01:58:55,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But

3460
01:58:55,480 --> 01:58:57,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Di naman yun pang karaniwan

3461
01:58:57,160 --> 01:58:57,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But

3462
01:58:57,420 --> 01:58:58,840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: If we're able to provide

3463
01:58:58,840 --> 01:58:59,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That service

3464
01:58:59,560 --> 01:59:01,320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Just to be able to link them

3465
01:59:01,320 --> 01:59:02,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: To partners

3466
01:59:02,260 --> 01:59:03,500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: These could be local

3467
01:59:03,500 --> 01:59:04,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Filipino companies

3468
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:05,140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: For example

3469
01:59:05,140 --> 01:59:07,700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: There was a time

3470
01:59:07,700 --> 01:59:08,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na

3471
01:59:08,120 --> 01:59:10,180

01:59:15,300 --> 01:59:16,660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I don't think

3478
01:59:16,660 --> 01:59:17,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: It really worked out

3479
01:59:17,560 --> 01:59:18,400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But there was a time

3480
01:59:18,400 --> 01:59:18,800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That there was

3481
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:19,800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That openness there

3482
01:59:19,800 --> 01:59:21,460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or for example

3483
01:59:21,460 --> 01:59:22,080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung mga food

3484
01:59:22,080 --> 01:59:23,400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Manufacturers natin

3485
01:59:23,400 --> 01:59:24,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kung may makita silang

01:59:24,560 --> 01:59:25,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Magandang technology

3487
01:59:25,820 --> 01:59:26,900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: From our inventors

3488
01:59:26,900 --> 01:59:27,180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Diba

3489
01:59:27,180 --> 01:59:28,040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So we can

3490
01:59:28,040 --> 01:59:29,300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: We can try to provide

3491
01:59:29,300 --> 01:59:30,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That linkage

3492
01:59:30,020 --> 01:59:31,660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Your TBIs will of course

3493
01:59:31,660 --> 01:59:32,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Be very important

3494
01:59:32,580 --> 01:59:33,720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Pero initially

3495
01:59:33,720 --> 01:59:35,680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: It really might be a

3496
01:59:35,680 --> 01:59:36,740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: A major push

3497
01:59:36,740 --> 01:59:37,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: From the top

3498
01:59:37,260 --> 01:59:37,720

DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: that we have been assisting

3566
02:01:06,580 --> 02:01:07,520
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: at the DOST.

3567
02:01:08,060 --> 02:01:08,400
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: So,

3570
02:01:12,340 --> 02:01:12,900
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: and then

3571
02:01:12,900 --> 02:01:13,860
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: one of them

3572

3573
02:01:15,760 --> 02:01:16,300

02:01:16,540 --> 02:01:16,980
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: the other,

3575

02:01:21,440 --> 02:01:22,440
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: one winner

3580
02:01:22,440 --> 02:01:24,020
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: and he got 500,000

3581
02:01:24,020 --> 02:01:25,000
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: aside from that

3582
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:25,700
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: is the mentorship

3583
02:01:25,700 --> 02:01:27,460
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: directly to the

3584
02:01:27,460 --> 02:01:28,320
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: to the chamber.

3585
02:01:29,060 --> 02:01:29,660
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: Similar,

3586
02:01:29,660 --> 02:01:30,260
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: similar goes

3587
02:01:30,260 --> 02:01:31,840
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: to the four other start-ups

3588
02:01:31,840 --> 02:01:33,320
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: and this is just a pilot,

3589
02:01:33,820 --> 02:01:34,200
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: I think.

3590
02:01:34,760 --> 02:01:35,540
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: That's why I was

3591
02:01:35,540 --> 02:01:36,880
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: telling the chamber

3592
02:01:36,880 --> 02:01:37,740
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: if we can add

3593
02:01:37,740 --> 02:01:38,740
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: more activities like

3594
02:01:38,740 --> 02:01:39,160

3599
02:01:45,280 --> 02:01:45,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Service.

3600
02:01:45,780 --> 02:01:46,760
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: Ang nanalo po is

3601
02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:47,920
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: a edtech

3602
02:01:47,920 --> 02:01:49,280
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: that is initially funded

3603
02:01:49,280 --> 02:01:50,800
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: under the Startup Grant Fund

3604
02:01:50,800 --> 02:01:53,040
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: and then was further funded

3605
02:01:53,040 --> 02:01:54,420
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: or assisted by TAPI

3606
02:01:54,420 --> 02:01:56,820
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: for Expanded Venture Financing Program.

3607
02:01:56,940 --> 02:01:57,780
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: So, it's like a

3608
02:01:57,780 --> 02:01:59,320
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: a company that is

3609

02:02:06,380 --> 02:02:06,820
DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: Software.

3615

02:02:27,040 --> 02:02:27,720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kausap ko yung

02:02:27,720 --> 02:02:29,040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ambassador to Israel.

3633
02:02:29,320 --> 02:02:30,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Israel, of course,

3634
02:02:30,140 --> 02:02:30,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: had a

3635
02:02:30,540 --> 02:02:31,280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we

3636
02:02:31,280 --> 02:02:32,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we tried to learn

3637
02:02:32,580 --> 02:02:33,460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: from their experience

3638
02:02:33,460 --> 02:02:34,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: on the Startup Act.

3639
02:02:35,520 --> 02:02:36,600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: This is the

3640
02:02:36,600 --> 02:02:37,740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Israeli Ambassador

3641
02:02:37,740 --> 02:02:39,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: 10 years ago

3642
02:02:39,360 --> 02:02:40,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or 12 years ago.

3643
02:02:40,940 --> 02:02:41,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And sabi niya,

3644
02:02:42,380 --> 02:02:43,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: you know, Senator,

3648
02:02:47,400 --> 02:02:48,780

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sabi ko, why?

3650
02:02:50,520 --> 02:02:51,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Why is it adventure

3651
02:02:51,540 --> 02:02:52,400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: more than venture?

3652
02:02:52,580 --> 02:02:53,680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Because with startups,

3653
02:02:53,800 --> 02:02:54,640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: you don't really know

3654
02:02:54,640 --> 02:02:55,900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: who will succeed.

3655
02:02:56,140 --> 02:02:56,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: In fact,

3656
02:02:56,700 --> 02:02:57,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: tama si Sec,

3657
02:02:57,640 --> 02:02:59,260

3658
02:02:59,320 --> 02:02:59,920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But,

3659
02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:00,860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: sabi niya,

02:03:01,040 --> 02:03:01,680

3662
02:03:03,320 --> 02:03:04,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And even 12 years ago,

3663
02:03:05,160 --> 02:03:05,840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Viber and Waze

3664
02:03:05,840 --> 02:03:06,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: were already

3665
02:03:06,420 --> 02:03:07,560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: popular

3666
02:03:07,560 --> 02:03:08,660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and leading in the world.

3667
02:03:08,740 --> 02:03:09,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And sabi niya,

3668
02:03:09,600 --> 02:03:11,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: our startup ecosystem

3669
02:03:11,060 --> 02:03:12,140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: helped produce

3670
02:03:12,140 --> 02:03:13,960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: these apps.

3671
02:03:14,540 --> 02:03:15,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, pag sinabi niya,

3672
02:03:16,040 --> 02:03:16,700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we produced

3673
02:03:16,700 --> 02:03:18,100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Viber and Waze

3674
02:03:18,100 --> 02:03:19,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: na alam ng lahat,

3675
02:03:19,220 --> 02:03:20,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: alam nating lahat,

3676
02:03:20,820 --> 02:03:21,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: it just provides

3677
02:03:21,580 --> 02:03:22,480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: so much credibility

3678
02:03:22,480 --> 02:03:24,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and it will invite

3679
02:03:24,360 --> 02:03:25,180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: more support

3680
02:03:25,180 --> 02:03:26,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and more investment.

3681
02:03:26,500 --> 02:03:27,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, that's why

3682
02:03:27,380 --> 02:03:28,100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I'm always asking,

3683
02:03:28,100 --> 02:03:29,280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ano yung ginagawa

3684
02:03:29,280 --> 02:03:30,860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: natin na ramdam?

3685
02:03:31,360 --> 02:03:32,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Alam ng lahat ng tao.

3686
02:03:32,580 --> 02:03:33,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, for example,

3687
02:03:34,040 --> 02:03:35,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: in the past two weeks,

3688
02:03:35,100 --> 02:03:36,320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: every 30 minutes,

3689
02:03:36,420 --> 02:03:37,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: nag-a-alert tayo.

3690
02:03:37,820 --> 02:03:38,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Although, alam kong

3691
02:03:38,380 --> 02:03:40,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: NDRMC yun,

3692
02:03:40,260 --> 02:03:41,080

02:03:42,780 --> 02:03:43,220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So,

3695
02:03:44,060 --> 02:03:45,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ano yung ramdam na ramdam

3696
02:03:45,260 --> 02:03:45,660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ng tao?

3697
02:03:45,800 --> 02:03:46,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And I hope

3698
02:03:46,360 --> 02:03:47,780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: some of our grantees

3699
02:03:47,780 --> 02:03:48,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: will get to a level

3700
02:03:48,760 --> 02:03:51,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: where they are successful now.

3701
02:03:52,700 --> 02:03:53,340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sometimes ko kasi

3702
02:03:53,340 --> 02:03:53,980
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung mga pitching,

3703
02:03:54,200 --> 02:03:55,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: pinagdaanan ko na rin to,

3704
02:03:55,540 --> 02:03:56,660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I was a social entrepreneur

3705
02:03:56,660 --> 02:03:57,500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: for many years.

3706
02:03:57,500 --> 02:03:58,500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung mga pitching competition,

3707
02:03:59,280 --> 02:04:01,300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: without the proper

3708
02:04:01,300 --> 02:04:02,600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: framework and infrastructure

3709
02:04:02,600 --> 02:04:03,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: after that

3710
02:04:03,380 --> 02:04:04,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the grant is given,

3711
02:04:05,000 --> 02:04:05,760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: mahihirapan na ne.

3712
02:04:06,140 --> 02:04:07,000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: The best talaga,

3713
02:04:08,040 --> 02:04:10,040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: especially if our

3714
02:04:10,040 --> 02:04:11,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: startups

3715
02:04:11,060 --> 02:04:12,840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: are more on the science-based,

3716
02:04:12,980 --> 02:04:13,840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: like they don't really

3717
02:04:13,840 --> 02:04:15,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: intend to put up a business,

3718
02:04:15,420 --> 02:04:16,400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: they're more into the

3719
02:04:16,400 --> 02:04:17,960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: invention and to the research,

3720
02:04:18,460 --> 02:04:19,180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: is really

3721
02:04:19,180 --> 02:04:20,860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: helping them

3722
02:04:20,860 --> 02:04:22,740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: with a good contract

3723
02:04:22,740 --> 02:04:24,100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: so that another company

3724
02:04:24,100 --> 02:04:25,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: can help scale up

3725
02:04:25,580 --> 02:04:26,600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the technology

3726
02:04:26,600 --> 02:04:27,660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: while making sure

3727
02:04:27,660 --> 02:04:28,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: protected sila

3728
02:04:28,420 --> 02:04:29,260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: at kumikita rin sila.

3729
02:04:29,280 --> 02:04:30,800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And that allows them

3730
02:04:30,800 --> 02:04:32,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: to go to their next version

3731
02:04:32,060 --> 02:04:33,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or to go to their next technology.

3732
02:04:34,220 --> 02:04:34,340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So,

3733
02:04:34,780 --> 02:04:35,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I hope we can,

3734
02:04:35,880 --> 02:04:36,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: you know,

3735
02:04:36,340 --> 02:04:37,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ano pa naman po ito?

3736
02:04:37,280 --> 02:04:38,660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I hope I'll be handling

3737
02:04:38,660 --> 02:04:40,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: your budget again next year.

3738
02:04:40,460 --> 02:04:41,760
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Close kind of service.

3739
02:04:42,060 --> 02:04:42,320
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Opo.

3740
02:04:42,500 --> 02:04:43,260
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Meron po kami

3741
02:04:43,260 --> 02:04:45,460
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and magti-takeoff pa lang

3742
02:04:45,460 --> 02:04:47,220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: but another good thing

3743
02:04:47,220 --> 02:04:47,700
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: is that

3744
02:04:47,700 --> 02:04:49,040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we have now

3745
02:04:49,040 --> 02:04:49,740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: from our

3746
02:04:49,740 --> 02:04:50,860

DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: from 100 MSMEs

3749
02:04:54,820 --> 02:04:56,240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: being sold by Lazada.

3750
02:04:56,460 --> 02:04:56,720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yun.

3751
02:04:57,080 --> 02:04:57,560
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Commercially.

3752
02:04:57,740 --> 02:04:58,660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Let's lead with that.

3753
02:04:58,660 --> 02:04:59,100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Di ba na?

3754
02:04:59,280 --> 02:05:00,460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: O, nag-top kami.

3755
02:05:00,560 --> 02:05:01,860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Top 10 kami sa Lazada

3756
02:05:01,860 --> 02:05:03,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or Shopee

3757
02:05:03,060 --> 02:05:03,780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or whatever ito.

3758
02:05:03,860 --> 02:05:04,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Galing ito sa DOST

3759
02:05:04,820 --> 02:05:05,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung simula nito.

3760
02:05:05,940 --> 02:05:07,100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Let's lead with that.

3761
02:05:07,240 --> 02:05:07,440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi,

3762
02:05:08,120 --> 02:05:09,060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: at the end of the day,

3763
02:05:09,420 --> 02:05:10,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ang hahanapin sa atin

3764
02:05:10,620 --> 02:05:11,500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: with this budget is

3765
02:05:11,500 --> 02:05:12,080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ano yung

3766
02:05:12,080 --> 02:05:13,120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ano yung

3767
02:05:13,120 --> 02:05:14,160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ramdam talaga.

3768
02:05:14,440 --> 02:05:14,600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Di ba?

3769
02:05:14,700 --> 02:05:15,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Whether it's

3770
02:05:15,360 --> 02:05:17,420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the product has become ubiquitous

3771
02:05:17,420 --> 02:05:19,320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or the service has become ubiquitous

3772
02:05:19,320 --> 02:05:21,240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or it will eventually

3773
02:05:21,240 --> 02:05:22,360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: become ubiquitous.

3774
02:05:22,520 --> 02:05:22,620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Di ba?

3775
02:05:22,700 --> 02:05:23,020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kung baga,

3776
02:05:23,100 --> 02:05:24,200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: our goal should be scale.

3777
02:05:25,060 --> 02:05:26,540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Because we're a national agency

3778
02:05:26,540 --> 02:05:28,580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: so our end in mind

3779
02:05:28,580 --> 02:05:28,880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: should be

3780
02:05:29,280 --> 02:05:30,460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: what can scale.

3781
02:05:30,620 --> 02:05:32,380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Now, alam ko may mga research na

3782
02:05:32,380 --> 02:05:34,820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: maybe it won't scale immediately

3783
02:05:34,820 --> 02:05:35,560
