asr-000886
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.

asr-000887
00:37:40.080 --> 00:37:42.380
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: As the primary government agency in the Philippines,

asr-000888
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.

asr-000889
00:37:50.040 --> 00:37:53.900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: What is the official position of DOST?

asr-000890
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.

asr-000891
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.

asr-000892
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.

asr-000893
00:38:19.460 --> 00:38:20.020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Basically,

asr-000894
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,

asr-000895
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:29.840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the Pax Silica is a global program.

asr-000896
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.

asr-000897
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

asr-000898
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:49.440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for accessories that will be related.

asr-000899
00:38:50.040 --> 00:38:50.920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: In the future,

asr-000900
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.

asr-000901
00:38:58.540 --> 00:39:02.840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But those will not be in the Clark area.

asr-000902
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.

asr-000903
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.

asr-000904
00:39:15.380 --> 00:39:20.020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Because for sure, one should not mine and transport it.

asr-000905
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.

asr-000906
00:39:25.040 --> 00:39:27.160
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And therefore, those still have to be discussed.

asr-000907
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

asr-000908
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.

asr-000909
00:39:41.140 --> 00:39:41.500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Thank you.

asr-000913
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,

asr-000914
00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:59.080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the Pax Silica, outweigh the severe environmental risk,

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: mayroon ba ako yung study na rin?

00:40:00.780 --> 00:40:05.380
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Well, essentially, if they will be operating an industrial hub,

asr-000917
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.

asr-000918
00:40:09.980 --> 00:40:13.280
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So we are very, very strict on our environmental laws.

asr-000919
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.

asr-000920
00:40:17.720 --> 00:40:19.140
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So marami na po tayong experience.

asr-000921
00:40:19.140 --> 00:40:22.580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And pagdating sa environmental law, dapat very strict.

asr-000922
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.

asr-000923
00:40:28.740 --> 00:40:30.120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay, thank you.

asr-000924
00:40:30.680 --> 00:40:31.420
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Doon lang po sa ano.

asr-000925
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

asr-000926
00:40:36.540 --> 00:40:40.800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: of the nationwide operation assessment of hazards or Project NOAA.

asr-000927
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,

asr-000928
00:40:45.680 --> 00:40:46.800
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we feel it's not enough.

asr-000929
00:40:47.100 --> 00:40:49.020
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: May we know if Project NOAA has,

asr-000930
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

asr-000931
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?

asr-000932
00:40:57.720 --> 00:41:00.840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: NOAA is operated by the University of the Philippines.

asr-000933
00:41:01.580 --> 00:41:05.840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And we have other disaster and climate-related programs

asr-000934
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:11.260
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: that would complement the provision of information and knowledge

asr-000935
00:41:11.260 --> 00:41:15.440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to various stakeholders, including government agencies, industries,

asr-000936
00:41:16.020 --> 00:41:17.500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and more importantly, communities.

asr-000937
00:41:18.060 --> 00:41:19.020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So we have developed...

asr-000938
00:41:19.140 --> 00:41:22.260
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: We have developed many programs and web applications

asr-000939
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

asr-000940
00:41:29.540 --> 00:41:32.800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: from the different mandated organizations po.

asr-000941
00:41:33.300 --> 00:41:34.860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And just to separate,

asr-000942
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.

asr-000943
00:41:41.220 --> 00:41:42.300
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Wala pong counterpart dyan.

asr-000944
00:41:42.700 --> 00:41:43.940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Sila po talaga yung mandated.

asr-000945
00:41:44.220 --> 00:41:45.700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Okay, thank you, Secretary.

asr-000946
00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:47.700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I'll just have three...

asr-000947
00:41:49.140 --> 00:41:52.700
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: main issues for budget utilization.

asr-000948
00:41:53.080 --> 00:41:54.740
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Of course, that's the reason I'm here.

asr-000949
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

asr-000950
00:41:59.860 --> 00:42:01.600
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: for fiscal year 2027.

asr-000951
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:05.160
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yet, records show that your unused appropriations

asr-000952
00:42:05.160 --> 00:42:08.920
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: surged by nearly 80% to 2.85 billion in 2025.

asr-000953
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,

asr-000954
00:42:15.520 --> 00:42:18.520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: why is there...

asr-000955
00:42:19.140 --> 00:42:24.640
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: a request of a much bigger funding compared to 2025

asr-000956
00:42:24.640 --> 00:42:30.260
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kung hindi naman nare-resolve yung unused appropriations?

asr-000957
00:42:30.620 --> 00:42:34.040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Of course, different agencies would have specific needs.

asr-000958
00:42:34.580 --> 00:42:37.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And if the agency is cited like PHIVOX and PNRI,

asr-000959
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

asr-000960
00:42:43.380 --> 00:42:45.940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: because some of the equipment are not off the shelf.

asr-000961
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.

asr-000962
00:42:49.140 --> 00:42:51.420
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So pagdating po naman sa ibang ahensya,

asr-000963
00:42:51.720 --> 00:42:55.440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we really need the budget because based on our experience,

asr-000964
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,

asr-000965
00:42:59.700 --> 00:43:00.780
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: more efficient processes.

asr-000966
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.

asr-000967
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

asr-000968
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:14.480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: up from 1.57 billion.

asr-000969
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:18.480
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: In 2024, PAGASA alone accounted for 1.45 billion.

asr-000970
00:43:19.140 --> 00:43:19.840
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: 1.2 billion.

asr-000971
00:43:20.080 --> 00:43:24.060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And the OSEC left 693.2 million unspent.

asr-000972
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:26.500
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: My question is,

asr-000973
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?

asr-000974
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?

asr-000975
00:43:35.020 --> 00:43:37.580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At bakano ang nabalik sa National Treasury?

asr-000976
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,

asr-000977
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.

asr-000978
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?

asr-000979
00:43:55.500 --> 00:43:55.860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Thank you.

asr-000980
00:43:56.940 --> 00:43:58.240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yes, please proceed.

asr-000981
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:00.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Thank you, Your Honor.

asr-000982
00:44:01.180 --> 00:44:03.680
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Thank you, Mr. Secretary, for this opportunity.

asr-000983
00:44:04.620 --> 00:44:10.340
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: As for the 2025 budget, the unutilized fund,

asr-000984
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,

asr-000985
00:44:19.200 --> 00:44:23.300
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: supposedly to purchase three doppler radars.

asr-000986
00:44:25.240 --> 00:44:29.860
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: But at the moment, the procurement process is ongoing.

asr-000987
00:44:30.100 --> 00:44:33.380
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: In fact, most of the equipment are already awarded.

asr-000988
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.

asr-000989
00:44:40.720 --> 00:44:42.200
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Thank you, Chair.

asr-000990
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.

asr-000991
00:44:48.440 --> 00:44:49.060
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung mga equipment.

asr-000992
00:44:49.140 --> 00:44:50.940
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Natin, it's already operational.

asr-000993
00:44:51.460 --> 00:44:52.160
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Yes, yes.

asr-000994
00:44:53.540 --> 00:44:53.960
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Yes, sir.

asr-000995
00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:59.900
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, for sometimes the OSEC money will be...

asr-000996
00:44:59.900 --> 00:45:03.020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: a continuing allocation for the following year

asr-000997
00:45:03.020 --> 00:45:07.800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: because sometimes we have challenges on the requirement

asr-000998
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:13.420
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for the implementing organizations to really submit their liquidation

asr-000999
00:45:13.420 --> 00:45:16.040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for many of their previous proposals.

asr-001000
00:45:16.220 --> 00:45:20.220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So we have to make sure that they observe that.

asr-001001
00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:24.740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And so sometimes we actually use it the following year,

asr-001002
00:45:24.820 --> 00:45:28.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: but trust assured, Mr. Chair, that these are fully utilized

asr-001003
00:45:28.540 --> 00:45:31.380
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: by providing additional funding for new proposals.

asr-001004
00:45:33.040 --> 00:45:37.880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Our application for Granada 8 is 99% for the continuing.

asr-001005
00:45:39.560 --> 00:45:44.080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Just to clarify, the OSTs overall disbursement rate slipped

asr-001006
00:45:44.080 --> 00:45:50.300
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: from 83.8% in 2024 to 79.8% in 2025.

asr-001007
00:45:51.260 --> 00:45:55.080
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pag-assess disbursement rate plunged to 47.9%,

asr-001008
00:45:55.080 --> 00:45:58.520
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: down from 71.1% in 2020.

asr-001009
00:45:58.540 --> 00:46:04.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And PNRI disbursed only 34.4%.

asr-001010
00:46:04.540 --> 00:46:16.560
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: May I ask the two agencies to respond?

asr-001011
00:46:17.220 --> 00:46:18.900
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: First, Pag-asa and then PNRI.

asr-001012
00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:22.340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Essentially, it's related to the capital outlay.

asr-001013
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.120
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, please. Pag-asa muna and then PNRI.

asr-001014
00:46:25.120 --> 00:46:28.000
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: What measures, interventions?

asr-001015
00:46:28.540 --> 00:46:31.580
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Are being, will be done, no?

asr-001016
00:46:32.080 --> 00:46:33.240
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Yes, thank you.

asr-001017
00:46:33.280 --> 00:46:35.940
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Once again, Your Honor and the Secretary.

asr-001018
00:46:37.940 --> 00:46:43.140
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Interventions include fast tracking the procurement process.

asr-001019
00:46:43.140 --> 00:46:47.160
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Of course, the equipment involved is sophisticated

asr-001020
00:46:47.160 --> 00:46:49.920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: and is manufactured overseas.

asr-001021
00:46:50.620 --> 00:46:54.220
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: It takes time before, of course, it is to be installed.

asr-001022
00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:58.300
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: But the Vision Awards Committee,

asr-001023
00:46:58.540 --> 00:47:00.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: we have already done the fast tracking.

asr-001024
00:47:00.540 --> 00:47:03.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And at the moment, in fact, as I've mentioned,

asr-001025
00:47:03.540 --> 00:47:08.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: we have already secured the awarded contracts.

asr-001026
00:47:08.540 --> 00:47:13.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And of course, the remaining components will be closely monitored

asr-001027
00:47:13.540 --> 00:47:18.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: until, since 2025, this 2025 budget,

asr-001028
00:47:18.540 --> 00:47:21.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: and this is continuing until December this year,

asr-001029
00:47:21.540 --> 00:47:24.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: we're confident it will be utilized.

asr-001030
00:47:24.540 --> 00:47:25.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Thank you, Your Honor.

asr-001031
00:47:25.540 --> 00:47:26.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you.

asr-001032
00:47:26.540 --> 00:47:27.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sa PNRI po.

asr-001033
00:47:28.540 --> 00:47:32.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: Good afternoon, Chairs, Your Honorable Chairs.

asr-001034
00:47:32.540 --> 00:47:38.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: For the justification for the low utilization,

asr-001035
00:47:38.540 --> 00:47:41.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: it's because of the nuclear medicine project.

asr-001036
00:47:41.540 --> 00:47:47.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: The reason for this low obligation or low utilization

asr-001037
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

asr-001038
00:47:50.540 --> 00:47:54.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: to align with the actual project implementation progress

asr-001039
00:47:54.540 --> 00:47:57.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: and to create a more efficient budget utilization.

asr-001040
00:47:57.540 --> 00:47:59.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: It's because of some procurement packages

asr-001041
00:47:59.540 --> 00:48:03.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: were therefore not yet sufficiently matured or procurement ready.

asr-001042
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

asr-001043
00:48:07.540 --> 00:48:10.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: of its technical and procurement documents.

asr-001044
00:48:10.540 --> 00:48:13.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: And the last one, the third one,

asr-001045
00:48:13.540 --> 00:48:16.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: is the regulatory legal requirements as being addressed.

asr-001046
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,

asr-001047
00:48:20.540 --> 00:48:23.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: the engineering plans, terms of references,

asr-001048
00:48:23.540 --> 00:48:26.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: and the technical specifications and other details,

asr-001049
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

asr-001050
00:48:33.540 --> 00:48:36.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: and submissions of major building requirements.

asr-001051
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

asr-001052
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

asr-001053
00:48:44.540 --> 00:48:47.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: and strengthening internal legal support

asr-001054
00:48:47.540 --> 00:48:49.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: to facilitate timely resolutions of issues

asr-001055
00:48:49.540 --> 00:48:52.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: that have been affected the project itself.

asr-001056
00:48:52.540 --> 00:48:56.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: The implementation of the revised project roadmap

asr-001057
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

asr-001058
00:49:00.540 --> 00:49:04.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: for technical procurement and legal and implementation activities

asr-001059
00:49:04.540 --> 00:49:07.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: to be bring to the major procurement packages

asr-001060
00:49:07.540 --> 00:49:10.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: to the required level of readiness.

asr-001061
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

asr-001062
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

asr-001063
00:49:20.540 --> 00:49:22.540
PNRI Deputy Director Maria Teresa A. Salabit: will be expedited.

asr-001064
00:49:22.540 --> 00:49:23.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you.

asr-001065
00:49:23.540 --> 00:49:25.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Mr. Chair,

asr-001066
00:49:25.540 --> 00:49:31.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: at the time when the Philippines faces escalating climate catastrophes,

asr-001067
00:49:31.540 --> 00:49:34.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: proposed fiscal year 2027 budget slashes

asr-001068
00:49:34.540 --> 00:49:38.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pag-ASA's weather and climate forecasting and warning

asr-001069
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.

asr-001070
00:49:45.540 --> 00:49:48.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So the funding early warning projects and AI forecasting,

asr-001071
00:49:48.540 --> 00:49:52.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: what is the position of DOST and PAGASA on this?

asr-001072
00:49:52.540 --> 00:49:54.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: What will be the effect of this?

asr-001073
00:49:54.540 --> 00:49:57.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: What would be the effect of this budget cut

asr-001074
00:49:57.540 --> 00:49:59.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: in the operation of Pag-ASA?

asr-001075
00:49:59.540 --> 00:50:01.540
Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: May I ask the Administrator?

asr-001076
00:50:01.540 --> 00:50:03.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But before he answers, Your Honor,

asr-001077
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

asr-001078
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.

asr-001079
00:50:16.540 --> 00:50:17.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So that is the reason.

asr-001080
00:50:17.540 --> 00:50:22.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But I'll ask Administrator Cervantes to give the details.

asr-001081
00:50:22.540 --> 00:50:23.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Thank you.

asr-001082
00:50:23.540 --> 00:50:26.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And thank you, Secretary.

asr-001083
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,

asr-001084
00:50:32.540 --> 00:50:36.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: about 12.3%.

asr-001085
00:50:36.540 --> 00:50:41.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And yeah, particularly in the capital outlay

asr-001086
00:50:41.540 --> 00:50:45.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: because there are projects that are already implemented

asr-001087
00:50:45.540 --> 00:50:53.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: and it does not require additional continuing funding for next year.

asr-001088
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,

asr-001089
00:51:02.540 --> 00:51:05.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: particularly on the OOE component,

asr-001090
00:51:05.540 --> 00:51:10.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: is because there's a decrease in the so-called CECA

asr-001091
00:51:10.540 --> 00:51:12.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: or the Congressional Initiative last year,

asr-001092
00:51:12.540 --> 00:51:16.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: which is now reduced for next year.

asr-001093
00:51:16.540 --> 00:51:21.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And yeah, particularly on,

asr-001094
00:51:21.540 --> 00:51:27.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: which includes one of the locally funded projects,

asr-001095
00:51:27.540 --> 00:51:31.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: the EI for RP.

asr-001096
00:51:31.540 --> 00:51:36.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: But anyway, this is continuing for next year.

asr-001097
00:51:36.540 --> 00:51:40.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: And in the succeeding years,

asr-001098
00:51:40.540 --> 00:51:43.540
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: we will make sure that this will be proposed.

asr-001099
00:51:43.540 --> 00:51:45.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: If I may add, Your Honor,

asr-001100
00:51:45.540 --> 00:51:49.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: essentially, some of the things that we do at DOST

asr-001101
00:51:49.540 --> 00:51:51.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: is to partner Pagano,

asr-001102
00:51:51.540 --> 00:51:54.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: with other DOST agencies

asr-001103
00:51:54.540 --> 00:51:57.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: like the Advanced Science and Technology Institute,

asr-001104
00:51:57.540 --> 00:51:59.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and other international partners.

asr-001105
00:51:59.540 --> 00:52:02.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: For example, he was mentioning about the use of AI

asr-001106
00:52:02.540 --> 00:52:05.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: in weather and climate forecasting.

asr-001107
00:52:05.540 --> 00:52:08.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And so, although it is not reflected in their budget,

asr-001108
00:52:08.540 --> 00:52:10.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: because it's a research activity,

asr-001109
00:52:10.540 --> 00:52:12.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we provide the funding

asr-001110
00:52:12.540 --> 00:52:16.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: that would contribute to the improvement of their forecasting.

asr-001111
00:52:16.540 --> 00:52:18.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So the target for that particular project

asr-001112
00:52:18.540 --> 00:52:21.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: is to advance forecasting from five days

asr-001113
00:52:21.540 --> 00:52:22.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to 14 days,

asr-001114
00:52:22.540 --> 00:52:24.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and the compute time,

asr-001115
00:52:24.540 --> 00:52:26.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: which takes three hours now,

asr-001116
00:52:26.540 --> 00:52:28.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to every 15 minutes.

asr-001117
00:52:28.540 --> 00:52:32.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So that everyone would understand,

asr-001118
00:52:32.540 --> 00:52:34.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: DOST provides R&D money

asr-001119
00:52:34.540 --> 00:52:37.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to improve the operational forecasting capability

asr-001120
00:52:37.540 --> 00:52:39.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: of PAGASA.

asr-001121
00:52:39.540 --> 00:52:41.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So that's why it's very important

asr-001122
00:52:41.540 --> 00:52:43.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: that we really look into how

asr-001123
00:52:43.540 --> 00:52:45.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: further we can improve PAGASA

asr-001124
00:52:45.540 --> 00:52:48.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: by integrating efforts of other DOST agencies

asr-001125
00:52:48.540 --> 00:52:50.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: or the universities.

asr-001126
00:52:50.540 --> 00:52:51.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay, thank you.

asr-001127
00:52:51.540 --> 00:52:52.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That's all for now, Mr. Chair.

asr-001128
00:52:52.540 --> 00:52:54.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Thank you, Chairperson JV.

asr-001129
00:52:54.540 --> 00:52:55.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Senator Joel.

asr-001130
00:52:56.540 --> 00:52:58.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

asr-001131
00:52:58.540 --> 00:53:02.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Of course, our Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance.

asr-001132
00:53:04.540 --> 00:53:06.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm here to give my full support

asr-001133
00:53:06.540 --> 00:53:08.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: to the budget of DOST.

asr-001134
00:53:08.540 --> 00:53:09.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: As you're all aware,

asr-001135
00:53:09.540 --> 00:53:12.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I've been sponsoring your budget

asr-001136
00:53:12.540 --> 00:53:13.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: for quite some time.

asr-001137
00:53:13.540 --> 00:53:16.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Of course, we have talked to and coordinate

asr-001138
00:53:16.540 --> 00:53:19.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: with the DENPAGASA chief.

asr-001139
00:53:19.540 --> 00:53:22.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Now, the Secretary of FIBOX.

asr-001140
00:53:22.540 --> 00:53:23.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sorry, FIBOX.

asr-001141
00:53:23.540 --> 00:53:26.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Now, DOST Secretary,

asr-001142
00:53:26.540 --> 00:53:27.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sully Doom, Jr.

asr-001143
00:53:27.540 --> 00:53:30.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: And of course, I've worked with so many of you.

asr-001144
00:53:30.540 --> 00:53:33.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I just have one, two questions

asr-001145
00:53:33.540 --> 00:53:35.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: that I'd like to raise.

asr-001146
00:53:35.540 --> 00:53:38.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: One, my perennial question

asr-001147
00:53:38.540 --> 00:53:47.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: on the contract of service.

asr-001148
00:53:47.540 --> 00:53:50.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Contract of service and unfilled positions

asr-001149
00:53:50.540 --> 00:53:54.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: in DOST.

asr-001150
00:53:54.540 --> 00:53:57.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: In 2027, you have...

asr-001151
00:53:59.540 --> 00:54:01.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I mean, in this year,

asr-001152
00:54:01.540 --> 00:54:04.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: you have 962 unfilled positions.

asr-001153
00:54:07.540 --> 00:54:12.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: You have 4,291 job orders

asr-001154
00:54:12.540 --> 00:54:14.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: and the contract of service workers.

asr-001155
00:54:14.540 --> 00:54:16.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Every year lagi kong binabantayan ito

asr-001156
00:54:16.540 --> 00:54:18.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: para mapababa natin.

asr-001157
00:54:18.540 --> 00:54:22.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Last year, 1 out of 10 government positions

asr-001158
00:54:22.540 --> 00:54:23.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: are unfilled.

asr-001159
00:54:23.540 --> 00:54:26.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: So nag-improve naman, pero konti lang eh.

asr-001160
00:54:26.540 --> 00:54:28.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: One out of thirteen na ngayon.

asr-001161
00:54:28.540 --> 00:54:31.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: But still, we wanted to find out

asr-001162
00:54:31.540 --> 00:54:33.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: what is going on, dahil palaki nang

asr-001163
00:54:33.540 --> 00:54:35.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: palaki pa rin itong job order at

asr-001164
00:54:35.540 --> 00:54:39.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: contract of service.

asr-001165
00:54:39.540 --> 00:54:42.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Samantalang yung unfilled positions nandiyan pa rin.

asr-001166
00:54:42.540 --> 00:54:44.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, we wanted to find out, again,

asr-001167
00:54:44.540 --> 00:54:46.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: if the problem behind this

asr-001168
00:54:46.540 --> 00:54:49.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: could be a problem because

asr-001169
00:54:49.540 --> 00:54:51.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung item in itself,

asr-001170
00:54:51.540 --> 00:54:53.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: like in COA,

asr-001171
00:54:53.540 --> 00:54:55.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: is not commensurate

asr-001172
00:54:55.540 --> 00:54:58.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: with the position of the auditor.

asr-001173
00:54:58.540 --> 00:55:00.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: For others,

asr-001174
00:55:00.540 --> 00:55:03.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: the item is too low

asr-001175
00:55:03.540 --> 00:55:06.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: and there are no takers.

asr-001176
00:55:06.540 --> 00:55:08.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: For others,

asr-001177
00:55:08.540 --> 00:55:10.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: there is no one who can enter the position

asr-001178
00:55:10.540 --> 00:55:12.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: because there are not enough

asr-001179
00:55:12.540 --> 00:55:15.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: applicants.

asr-001180
00:55:15.540 --> 00:55:18.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: So, we just wanted to look into it.

asr-001181
00:55:18.540 --> 00:55:19.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Secretary, please.

asr-001182
00:55:19.540 --> 00:55:21.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yes, Mr. Chair.

asr-001183
00:55:21.540 --> 00:55:23.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Essentially, some of the reasons

asr-001184
00:55:23.540 --> 00:55:28.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: why positions would still reflect,

asr-001185
00:55:28.540 --> 00:55:29.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the number would still reflect

asr-001186
00:55:29.540 --> 00:55:30.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the field position

asr-001187
00:55:30.540 --> 00:55:33.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: is that some retire

asr-001188
00:55:33.540 --> 00:55:35.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and promotion will happen.

asr-001189
00:55:35.540 --> 00:55:38.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But the increase in number of positions

asr-001190
00:55:38.540 --> 00:55:41.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: would also be related to either Pag-asa

asr-001191
00:55:41.540 --> 00:55:44.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: who has not filled up everything yet

asr-001192
00:55:44.540 --> 00:55:46.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and the teachers in Pisay

asr-001193
00:55:46.540 --> 00:55:49.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and the Health Technology Assessment Division.

asr-001194
00:55:49.540 --> 00:55:52.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, we're in the process of really hiring people.

asr-001195
00:55:52.540 --> 00:55:54.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Second, in Pisay, I think,

asr-001196
00:55:54.540 --> 00:55:58.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: have you filled up the guidance counselor?

asr-001197
00:55:58.540 --> 00:56:01.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Because the problem with the guidance counselor is

asr-001198
00:56:01.540 --> 00:56:04.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for a registered psychologist,

asr-001199
00:56:04.540 --> 00:56:06.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: there should be a master.

asr-001200
00:56:06.540 --> 00:56:08.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, that is one of the problems.

asr-001201
00:56:08.540 --> 00:56:10.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Thank you.

asr-001202
00:56:10.540 --> 00:56:12.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: That's also the case.

asr-001203
00:56:12.540 --> 00:56:13.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Yes.

asr-001204
00:56:13.540 --> 00:56:15.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Guidance associated.

asr-001205
00:56:15.540 --> 00:56:16.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Okay, ma'am, please.

asr-001206
00:56:16.540 --> 00:56:18.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: Good afternoon, Your Honor.

asr-001207
00:56:18.540 --> 00:56:20.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: So, based on our data,

asr-001208
00:56:20.540 --> 00:56:23.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: we only have now four unfilled positions for GSA.

asr-001209
00:56:23.540 --> 00:56:24.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: But we're still…

asr-001210
00:56:24.540 --> 00:56:25.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: Four, number four.

asr-001211
00:56:25.540 --> 00:56:26.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: Four, sir.

asr-001212
00:56:26.540 --> 00:56:27.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: Okay.

asr-001213
00:56:27.540 --> 00:56:29.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: But the big unfilled positions now, sir,

asr-001214
00:56:29.540 --> 00:56:31.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: we have the teaching positions

asr-001215
00:56:31.540 --> 00:56:35.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: because we just received the new positions last June.

asr-001216
00:56:35.540 --> 00:56:38.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: So, we received 105 positions

asr-001217
00:56:38.540 --> 00:56:39.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: and the promotion process

asr-001218
00:56:39.540 --> 00:56:40.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: is ongoing.

asr-001219
00:56:40.540 --> 00:56:42.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Ma'am, would you confirm that right now,

asr-001220
00:56:42.540 --> 00:56:45.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: there are 962 unfilled positions?

asr-001221
00:56:45.540 --> 00:56:46.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Would you confirm this figure?

asr-001222
00:56:46.540 --> 00:56:47.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: For Philippine Science, sir,

asr-001223
00:56:47.540 --> 00:56:48.540
PSHS Executive Director Ronnalee N. Orteza: we have 230.

asr-001224
00:56:48.540 --> 00:56:50.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: No, for the entire department.

asr-001225
00:56:50.540 --> 00:56:51.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Who can…

asr-001226
00:56:51.540 --> 00:56:52.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: 1,000 plus.

asr-001227
00:56:52.540 --> 00:56:54.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: That's all I have.

asr-001228
00:56:54.540 --> 00:56:56.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I don't want to belabor the issue.

asr-001229
00:56:56.540 --> 00:56:57.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: It's just that I wanted to make sure

asr-001230
00:56:57.540 --> 00:56:58.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: that we are improving.

asr-001231
00:56:58.540 --> 00:56:59.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I wanted to make sure

asr-001232
00:56:59.540 --> 00:57:02.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: na bumababa yung unfilled positions.

asr-001233
00:57:02.540 --> 00:57:05.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Bumababa din sana yung JOs

asr-001234
00:57:05.540 --> 00:57:08.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: and contract of service

asr-001235
00:57:08.540 --> 00:57:10.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: workers natin kasi laging issue yung

asr-001236
00:57:10.540 --> 00:57:13.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Because the endo is always an issue.

asr-001237
00:57:13.540 --> 00:57:16.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: And we want to follow suit

asr-001238
00:57:16.540 --> 00:57:17.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: with the private sector.

asr-001239
00:57:17.540 --> 00:57:19.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: But the number one violator of the endo

asr-001240
00:57:19.540 --> 00:57:20.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: is the government.

asr-001241
00:57:20.540 --> 00:57:23.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Another thing that I'd like to raise

asr-001242
00:57:23.540 --> 00:57:26.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: is the problem I personally encountered,

asr-001243
00:57:26.540 --> 00:57:27.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Mr. Chairman,

asr-001244
00:57:27.540 --> 00:57:28.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: with some of my friends

asr-001245
00:57:28.540 --> 00:57:30.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: coming from Bulacan.

asr-001246
00:57:30.540 --> 00:57:31.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: They would wake up

asr-001247
00:57:31.540 --> 00:57:32.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: in the wee hours of the morning,

asr-001248
00:57:32.540 --> 00:57:33.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: 3 o'clock in the morning,

asr-001249
00:57:33.540 --> 00:57:34.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: if I'm not mistaken.

asr-001250
00:57:34.540 --> 00:57:36.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: They have a flight

asr-001251
00:57:36.540 --> 00:57:39.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: in Naia,

asr-001252
00:57:39.540 --> 00:57:43.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: the original,

asr-001253
00:57:43.540 --> 00:57:44.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: the Naia one,

asr-001254
00:57:44.540 --> 00:57:45.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Terminal 1,

asr-001255
00:57:45.540 --> 00:57:47.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: ng 9 a.m.

asr-001256
00:57:47.540 --> 00:57:49.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: So they left at 4.

asr-001257
00:57:49.540 --> 00:57:50.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Pagdating nila doon,

asr-001258
00:57:50.540 --> 00:57:53.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: two hours before the flight,

asr-001259
00:57:53.540 --> 00:57:55.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: sinabi na canceled yung flight

asr-001260
00:57:55.540 --> 00:57:58.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: because apparently,

asr-001261
00:57:58.540 --> 00:58:00.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: and I have no way of checking on this

asr-001262
00:58:00.540 --> 00:58:01.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: because it's just my friend

asr-001263
00:58:01.540 --> 00:58:02.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: who told me about it,

asr-001264
00:58:02.540 --> 00:58:04.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: na ang PAGASA parang sinabi na

asr-001265
00:58:04.540 --> 00:58:05.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: malakas na yung ulan, etc.

asr-001266
00:58:05.540 --> 00:58:08.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: And that's why I'm going to bring this

asr-001267
00:58:08.540 --> 00:58:10.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: definitely in the budget of DOTR,

asr-001268
00:58:10.540 --> 00:58:11.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Mr. Chairman.

asr-001269
00:58:11.540 --> 00:58:12.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Sabi nila,

asr-001270
00:58:12.540 --> 00:58:15.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: wala kasing instrument,

asr-001271
00:58:15.540 --> 00:58:16.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: something, whatever, na

asr-001272
00:58:16.540 --> 00:58:19.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: they couldn't make that decision

asr-001273
00:58:19.540 --> 00:58:20.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: i-cancel yung flight.

asr-001274
00:58:20.540 --> 00:58:22.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: But this is the worst part.

asr-001275
00:58:22.540 --> 00:58:23.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Okay na sana yun eh,

asr-001276
00:58:23.540 --> 00:58:25.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung first day na nangyari.

asr-001277
00:58:25.540 --> 00:58:26.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Mr. Chairman, the next day,

asr-001278
00:58:26.540 --> 00:58:27.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: so they went back home,

asr-001279
00:58:27.540 --> 00:58:28.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: the next day,

asr-001280
00:58:28.540 --> 00:58:30.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: the same thing happened.

asr-001281
00:58:30.540 --> 00:58:34.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: They went from Bulacan to Naia,

asr-001282
00:58:34.540 --> 00:58:35.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Terminal 1,

asr-001283
00:58:35.540 --> 00:58:37.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: two hours again before the flight,

asr-001284
00:58:37.540 --> 00:58:39.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: sinabi na canceled.

asr-001285
00:58:39.540 --> 00:58:40.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: At yun na naman yung dahilan

asr-001286
00:58:40.540 --> 00:58:42.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: because hindi ma-predict

asr-001287
00:58:42.540 --> 00:58:44.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: kung malakas ba ang ulan, etc.

asr-001288
00:58:44.540 --> 00:58:46.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Imagine, twice po nangyari doon

asr-001289
00:58:46.540 --> 00:58:49.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa mga kababayan ko sa Bulacan

asr-001290
00:58:49.540 --> 00:58:51.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: na bumyahe nang napakatagal na oras

asr-001291
00:58:51.540 --> 00:58:53.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: only to find out that

asr-001292
00:58:53.540 --> 00:58:55.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: na ika-cancel na yung flight.

asr-001293
00:58:55.540 --> 00:58:56.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: So gusto ko hong malaman lang,

asr-001294
00:58:56.540 --> 00:58:58.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: maintindihan

asr-001295
00:58:58.540 --> 00:59:00.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: yung role ng PAGASA

asr-001296
00:59:00.540 --> 00:59:02.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: dito sa usapin na ito.

asr-001297
00:59:02.540 --> 00:59:04.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Nakapagbigay po ba kayo ng

asr-001298
00:59:04.540 --> 00:59:07.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: tamang datos at the right time

asr-001299
00:59:07.540 --> 00:59:10.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: and the datos that the CAAP

asr-001300
00:59:10.540 --> 00:59:12.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: would probably need?

asr-001301
00:59:12.540 --> 00:59:14.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Dahil gusto ko rin pong sitahin yung CAAP,

asr-001302
00:59:14.540 --> 00:59:16.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: gusto ko rin sitahin ang DOTR

asr-001303
00:59:16.540 --> 00:59:18.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: sa mga susunod na araw.

asr-001304
00:59:18.540 --> 00:59:21.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I just wanted to get this

asr-001305
00:59:21.540 --> 00:59:23.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: very important information

asr-001306
00:59:23.540 --> 00:59:25.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: kasi can you imagine,

asr-001307
00:59:25.540 --> 00:59:26.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: Secretary,

asr-001308
00:59:26.540 --> 00:59:28.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: babyahe ka dalawang araw,

asr-001309
00:59:28.540 --> 00:59:30.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: same, magkasunod na araw,

asr-001310
00:59:30.540 --> 00:59:31.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: just to find out,

asr-001311
00:59:31.540 --> 00:59:32.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: just to find out that

asr-001312
00:59:32.540 --> 00:59:34.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: na hindi matutuloy yung flight mo

asr-001313
00:59:34.540 --> 00:59:35.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: at sasabihan ka na

asr-001314
00:59:35.540 --> 00:59:36.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: hindi kasi alam na

asr-001315
00:59:36.540 --> 00:59:37.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: ganito kalakas ang ulan,

asr-001316
00:59:37.540 --> 00:59:40.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: ganito, hindi zero visibility,

asr-001317
00:59:40.540 --> 00:59:41.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: whatever that is,

asr-001318
00:59:41.540 --> 00:59:43.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm not a technical person.

asr-001319
00:59:43.540 --> 00:59:44.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: I just wanted to find out

asr-001320
00:59:44.540 --> 00:59:46.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: from PAGASA or Secretary,

asr-001321
00:59:46.540 --> 00:59:48.540
Senator Joel Villanueva: please, anyone can answer my question.

asr-001322
00:59:48.540 --> 00:59:49.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Your Honor,

asr-001323
00:59:49.540 --> 00:59:52.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: let me provide you a perspective

asr-001324
00:59:52.540 --> 00:59:54.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: of what they provide as information

asr-001325
00:59:54.540 --> 00:59:56.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for the aviation sector.

asr-001326
00:59:56.540 --> 00:59:57.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: They have a very specific

asr-001327
00:59:57.540 --> 00:59:59.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: aviation sector forecast.

asr-001328
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:01.040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: pag-asa has

asr-001329
01:00:01.040 --> 01:00:02.200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and they also have.

asr-001330
01:00:02.820 --> 01:00:04.700
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But for the general public,

asr-001331
01:00:05.020 --> 01:00:05.560
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: like for us,

asr-001332
01:00:05.580 --> 01:00:05.720
Senator Joel Villanueva: I'm sorry,

asr-001333
01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:06.800
Senator Joel Villanueva: they also have?

asr-001334
01:00:06.940 --> 01:00:07.240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yes.

asr-001335
01:00:08.100 --> 01:00:08.620

PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Isabela,

asr-001428

asr-001429
01:02:05.660 --> 01:02:06.700

PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: smaller station

asr-001431

asr-001456
01:02:37.740 --> 01:02:39.340
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: and within that system,

asr-001457
01:02:39.480 --> 01:02:40.260
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: talagang may mga

asr-001458

01:02:45.360 --> 01:02:46.500
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: and then short-lived

01:02:46.500 --> 01:02:47.220
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: lang kuminsan

01:02:50.900 --> 01:02:51.720
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: So, siguro,

asr-001601
01:05:29.240 --> 01:05:31.380
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: use AI

asr-001602
01:05:31.380 --> 01:05:31.880

01:06:24.560 --> 01:06:25.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: rainfall

asr-001645
01:06:25.380 --> 01:06:26.780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and possible flooding

asr-001646
01:06:26.780 --> 01:06:27.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: because

asr-001647
01:06:27.580 --> 01:06:28.220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the most

asr-001648
01:06:28.240 --> 01:06:29.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the more we can predict it

asr-001649
01:06:29.380 --> 01:06:30.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the more we can prepare

asr-001650
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:32.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: whether it's a flight

asr-001651
01:06:32.340 --> 01:06:32.820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or

asr-001652
01:06:32.820 --> 01:06:35.080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: low-lying areas

asr-001653
01:06:35.080 --> 01:06:35.840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: so

asr-001654
01:06:35.840 --> 01:06:37.320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ngayon po

asr-001655
01:06:37.320 --> 01:06:38.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ang nagpre-predict po

asr-001656
01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:39.280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yan

asr-001657
01:06:39.280 --> 01:06:40.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: sa alam ko is

asr-001658
01:06:40.900 --> 01:06:42.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: NDDRMC, di ba?

asr-001659
01:06:42.600 --> 01:06:43.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sila po yung nag-alert.

asr-001660
01:06:43.820 --> 01:06:44.260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Tama po ba?

asr-001661
01:06:44.400 --> 01:06:45.220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Do they get the info

asr-001662
01:06:45.220 --> 01:06:45.780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: from Pag-asa?

asr-001663
01:06:46.000 --> 01:06:46.860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yeah, they get the info

asr-001664
01:06:46.860 --> 01:06:47.360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: from Pag-asa

asr-001665
01:06:47.360 --> 01:06:47.640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: but

asr-001666
01:06:47.640 --> 01:06:49.640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the decision on what

asr-001667
01:06:49.640 --> 01:06:50.060
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: they

asr-001668
01:06:50.060 --> 01:06:51.500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: of course if it's a weather

asr-001669
01:06:51.500 --> 01:06:52.160
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: information

asr-001670
01:06:52.160 --> 01:06:53.740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: they get it from Pag-asa.

asr-001671
01:06:53.860 --> 01:06:54.040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-001672
01:06:54.260 --> 01:06:55.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, galing rin po sa Pag-asa yun.

asr-001673
01:06:55.960 --> 01:06:56.880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, are we saying

asr-001674
01:06:56.880 --> 01:06:57.240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: na

asr-001675
01:06:57.240 --> 01:06:58.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: three hours

asr-001676
01:06:58.000 --> 01:06:58.880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: three hours lang talaga

asr-001677
01:06:58.880 --> 01:06:59.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung kaya nating

asr-001678
01:06:59.500 --> 01:06:59.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ma-predict

asr-001679
01:06:59.940 --> 01:07:02.460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: with a high confidence level?

asr-001680
01:07:03.060 --> 01:07:03.900
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Of course, we have

asr-001681
01:07:03.900 --> 01:07:05.040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: 24 hour 48

asr-001682
01:07:05.040 --> 01:07:05.340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: but

asr-001683
01:07:05.340 --> 01:07:07.000
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the further we forecast

asr-001684
01:07:07.000 --> 01:07:08.140
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: hindi siya dumaganda yun.

asr-001685
01:07:08.560 --> 01:07:09.800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But pagdating sa bagyo kasi

asr-001686
01:07:09.800 --> 01:07:11.500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: may magandang protocol na tayo

asr-001687
01:07:11.500 --> 01:07:12.840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: sa hangin kasi eh.

asr-001688
01:07:13.060 --> 01:07:14.340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Pero pagdating sa rainfall

asr-001689
01:07:14.340 --> 01:07:15.880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: especially during habagat

asr-001690
01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:17.280
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: which is very very

asr-001691
01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:18.620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: sudden sometimes

asr-001692
01:07:18.620 --> 01:07:20.400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: hindi mo minsan makita

asr-001693
01:07:20.400 --> 01:07:21.360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: within three hours

asr-001694
01:07:21.360 --> 01:07:22.780
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: nagde-develop biglaan.

asr-001695
01:07:22.860 --> 01:07:23.040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Okay.

asr-001696
01:07:23.060 --> 01:07:24.100
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: That's why the solution is

asr-001697
01:07:24.100 --> 01:07:25.180
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: make it shorter.

asr-001698
01:07:25.320 --> 01:07:25.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-001699
01:07:25.720 --> 01:07:26.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Simple question.

asr-001700
01:07:27.300 --> 01:07:27.860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Uh...

asr-001701
01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:28.780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Are we at par

asr-001702
01:07:28.780 --> 01:07:29.640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: with technologies

asr-001703
01:07:29.640 --> 01:07:30.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: all over the world

asr-001704
01:07:30.480 --> 01:07:31.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: pagdating po sa prediction

asr-001705
01:07:31.800 --> 01:07:32.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or

asr-001706
01:07:32.500 --> 01:07:34.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: lagging behind tayo?

asr-001707
01:07:34.080 --> 01:07:34.280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Meaning,

asr-001708
01:07:34.640 --> 01:07:35.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: if we had better

asr-001709
01:07:35.440 --> 01:07:36.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I'm gonna say it

asr-001710
01:07:36.900 --> 01:07:37.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: very broadly.

asr-001711
01:07:37.560 --> 01:07:38.640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: If we had better technology

asr-001712
01:07:38.640 --> 01:07:39.840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: could we have a more

asr-001713
01:07:39.840 --> 01:07:41.200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: accurate way of predicting

asr-001714
01:07:41.200 --> 01:07:42.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: rainfall and flooding

asr-001715
01:07:42.340 --> 01:07:43.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and these things?

asr-001716
01:07:44.400 --> 01:07:45.260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or ito na po yun?

asr-001717
01:07:45.360 --> 01:07:46.260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: This is really it.

asr-001718
01:07:46.380 --> 01:07:47.060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ito na yung the best

asr-001719
01:07:47.060 --> 01:07:47.640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: that we can do.

asr-001720
01:07:48.160 --> 01:07:48.960
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Thank you, Your Honor.

asr-001721
01:07:49.260 --> 01:07:49.940
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: In fact,

asr-001722
01:07:50.340 --> 01:07:51.340
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: given the

asr-001723
01:07:51.340 --> 01:07:52.000
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: facilities

asr-001724
01:07:52.000 --> 01:07:52.760

asr-001726
01:07:54.200 --> 01:07:56.280
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: comparable na rin

asr-001727
01:07:56.280 --> 01:07:57.000
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ang accuracy

asr-001728
01:07:57.000 --> 01:07:58.000
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ng accuracy

asr-001729
01:07:58.000 --> 01:07:58.780
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ng ating forecast.

asr-001730
01:07:59.060 --> 01:07:59.580
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Particularly,

asr-001731
01:08:00.140 --> 01:08:00.860
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: in tracking

asr-001732
01:08:00.860 --> 01:08:02.000
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: tropical cyclones,

asr-001733
01:08:02.180 --> 01:08:03.960
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: mas expert po nga po tayo.

asr-001734
01:08:04.280 --> 01:08:04.300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-001735
01:08:04.400 --> 01:08:05.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sa rainfall po?

asr-001736
01:08:06.160 --> 01:08:06.900
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Sa rainfall,

asr-001737
01:08:08.240 --> 01:08:08.800
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: honestly,

asr-001738
01:08:08.980 --> 01:08:09.800
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: rainfall is really

asr-001739
01:08:09.800 --> 01:08:11.280
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: very difficult to predict.

asr-001740
01:08:11.740 --> 01:08:12.780
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: May mga gaps pa yan.

asr-001741
01:08:13.260 --> 01:08:14.360
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Given the

asr-001742
01:08:14.360 --> 01:08:15.620
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: advanced technology,

asr-001743
01:08:16.100 --> 01:08:16.920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: even other

asr-001744
01:08:16.920 --> 01:08:17.960
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: advanced countries

asr-001745
01:08:17.960 --> 01:08:19.020
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: cannot predict

asr-001746
01:08:19.020 --> 01:08:20.400
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: the accurate amount

asr-001747
01:08:20.400 --> 01:08:21.020
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: of rainfall

asr-001748
01:08:21.020 --> 01:08:22.220
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: kailan

asr-001749
01:08:22.220 --> 01:08:22.980
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: tatating

asr-001750
01:08:22.980 --> 01:08:23.900
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: and anong mga

asr-001751
01:08:23.900 --> 01:08:24.800
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: specific area

asr-001752
01:08:24.800 --> 01:08:25.280
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ng mga

asr-001753
01:08:25.280 --> 01:08:25.980
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: mga

asr-001754
01:08:25.980 --> 01:08:26.860
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: pektuhan.

asr-001755
01:08:27.660 --> 01:08:27.920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: But,

asr-001756
01:08:28.000 --> 01:08:29.380
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: because of this

asr-001757
01:08:29.380 --> 01:08:30.860
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: network of

asr-001758
01:08:30.860 --> 01:08:31.920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: doppler raiders,

asr-001759
01:08:32.620 --> 01:08:34.080
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: at least we're

asr-001760
01:08:34.080 --> 01:08:37.080
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: able to provide

asr-001761
01:08:37.080 --> 01:08:37.740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yun lang naman

asr-001762
01:08:37.740 --> 01:08:38.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: kung sa aming

asr-001763
01:08:38.160 --> 01:08:39.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: marinigay for at par

asr-001764
01:08:39.100 --> 01:08:39.720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or if we need

asr-001765
01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:41.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: further support here,

asr-001766
01:08:41.580 --> 01:08:41.680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: diba?

asr-001767
01:08:41.840 --> 01:08:43.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, thank you for being honest.

asr-001768
01:08:44.040 --> 01:08:44.780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Senator Joel,

asr-001769
01:08:44.900 --> 01:08:45.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: siguro kasi

asr-001770
01:08:45.380 --> 01:08:46.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung mga airlines,

asr-001771
01:08:46.760 --> 01:08:47.460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: they also want to

asr-001772
01:08:47.460 --> 01:08:48.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: cancel at the last minute

asr-001773
01:08:48.380 --> 01:08:48.780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: kasi

asr-001774
01:08:48.780 --> 01:08:50.140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: iniintindi rin nila

asr-001775
01:08:50.140 --> 01:08:51.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung expenses nila.

asr-001776
01:08:51.960 --> 01:08:52.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, probably

asr-001777
01:08:52.760 --> 01:08:54.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: that could be

asr-001778
01:08:54.000 --> 01:08:55.200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: a policy reform

asr-001779
01:08:55.200 --> 01:08:55.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: for

asr-001780
01:08:55.620 --> 01:08:57.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: DOTR.

asr-001781
01:08:58.000 --> 01:08:58.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Where we

asr-001782
01:08:58.900 --> 01:09:00.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: require them

asr-001783
01:09:00.100 --> 01:09:00.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: to cancel

asr-001784
01:09:00.900 --> 01:09:02.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: certain hours

asr-001785
01:09:02.620 --> 01:09:02.980
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: before.

asr-001786
01:09:03.320 --> 01:09:03.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Of course,

asr-001787
01:09:03.660 --> 01:09:04.320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: if you're an airline,

asr-001788
01:09:04.520 --> 01:09:05.640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I can guess na gusto mo

asr-001789
01:09:05.640 --> 01:09:06.660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: last minute

asr-001790
01:09:06.660 --> 01:09:07.320

asr-001792
01:09:08.420 --> 01:09:09.560

Senator Joel Villanueva: an unfair question

asr-001800
01:09:17.240 --> 01:09:18.000
Senator Joel Villanueva: on my end

asr-002103
01:14:31.120 --> 01:14:31.780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Taiwan

asr-002104
01:14:31.780 --> 01:14:33.280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: to check on their

asr-002105
01:14:33.280 --> 01:14:34.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: MSME development program.

asr-002106
01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:36.640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And yung intersection po

asr-002107
01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:37.220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: kasi dito,

asr-002108
01:14:37.740 --> 01:14:38.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung MSMEs nila

asr-002109
01:14:38.760 --> 01:14:40.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: were also inventors

asr-002110
01:14:40.160 --> 01:14:41.740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and scientists, no?

asr-002111
01:14:42.120 --> 01:14:43.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, what they would do

asr-002112
01:14:43.180 --> 01:14:44.240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: was they would

asr-002113
01:14:44.240 --> 01:14:45.200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: incubate

asr-002114
01:14:45.200 --> 01:14:47.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the inventors

asr-002115
01:14:47.800 --> 01:14:48.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or the startups

asr-002116
01:14:48.480 --> 01:14:49.680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or the scientists.

asr-002117
01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:52.240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But yung magandaho doon,

asr-002118
01:14:52.480 --> 01:14:53.320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: it wouldn't stop

asr-002119
01:14:53.320 --> 01:14:54.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: at a successful

asr-002120
01:14:54.840 --> 01:14:57.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: pilot

asr-002121
01:14:57.580 --> 01:14:59.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or a successful prototype.

asr-002122
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?

asr-002123
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.

asr-002124
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.

asr-002125
01:15:28.260 --> 01:15:32.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, kunyari, sunshine project, but this is their product.

asr-002126
01:15:33.060 --> 01:15:36.140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And then the product would be another product already.

asr-002127
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,

asr-002128
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.

asr-002129
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?

asr-002130
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,

asr-002131
01:16:08.660 --> 01:16:10.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: but they were always looking for new technologies.

asr-002132
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?

asr-002133
01:16:22.720 --> 01:16:23.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Bilang prototype.

asr-002134
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.

asr-002135
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,

asr-002136
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.

asr-002137
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.

asr-002138
01:16:52.480 --> 01:16:52.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: No?

asr-002139
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,

asr-002140
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,

asr-002141
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,

asr-002142
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,

asr-002143
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?

asr-002144
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,

asr-002145
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?

asr-002146
01:17:43.920 --> 01:17:44.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Here and abroad.

asr-002147
01:17:45.140 --> 01:17:45.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sige po, Secretary.

asr-002148
01:17:46.180 --> 01:17:50.300
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Thank you, Senator, for that very good suggestion.

asr-002149
01:17:50.300 --> 01:17:52.300
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: In fact, that is the real purpose of...

asr-002150
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.

asr-002151
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.

asr-002152
01:18:17.720 --> 01:18:19.880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And then we have the weaver.

asr-002153
01:18:20.480 --> 01:18:21.720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So if you look at the ecosystem...

asr-002154
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.

asr-002155
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.

asr-002156
01:18:36.140 --> 01:18:37.920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And that's solved the problem now.

asr-002157
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.

asr-002158
01:18:45.500 --> 01:18:48.820
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So the Batangas Egg Producers Cooperative is another one.

asr-002159
01:18:48.820 --> 01:18:49.820
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Their problem was...

asr-002160
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.

asr-002161
01:18:56.540 --> 01:19:00.020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But because of technology, they can now preserve it.

asr-002162
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.

asr-002163
01:19:07.460 --> 01:19:09.560
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And the shelf life will be at least two years.

asr-002164
01:19:10.180 --> 01:19:10.860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, yun po.

asr-002165
01:19:11.500 --> 01:19:13.720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Tomorrow, I'll visit another place.

asr-002166
01:19:13.880 --> 01:19:15.640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: It's called NutriDense Corporation.

asr-002167
01:19:16.300 --> 01:19:18.640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: He started his business by utilizing...

asr-002168
01:19:19.820 --> 01:19:22.740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: FNRI's nutritious product.

asr-002169
01:19:23.800 --> 01:19:26.220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And the engagement is continuous.

asr-002170
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.

asr-002171
01:19:34.880 --> 01:19:38.960
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: There are producers, there are small enterprises, micro-enterprises.

asr-002172
01:19:39.700 --> 01:19:42.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Then we have the consumer, but no one would...

asr-002173
01:19:43.100 --> 01:19:43.860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: In the middle.

asr-002174
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.

asr-002175
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.

asr-002176
01:19:59.800 --> 01:20:01.100
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, binago po natin yun.

asr-002177
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,

asr-002178
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.

asr-002179
01:20:12.300 --> 01:20:13.620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, this is what we're doing.

asr-002180
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.

asr-002181
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.

asr-002182
01:20:23.640 --> 01:20:24.340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And willing siya.

asr-002183
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.

asr-002184
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.

asr-002185
01:20:32.820 --> 01:20:35.300
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, tama po yung inyong sinasabi.

asr-002186
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.

asr-002187
01:20:43.880 --> 01:20:48.820
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Ang kailangan lang po siguro, mabago din yung university.

asr-002188
01:20:49.300 --> 01:20:52.720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Ang framework na hanggang publication lang sila eh.

asr-002189
01:20:53.160 --> 01:20:55.200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, nire-record natin sila na hanggang market.

asr-002190
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,

asr-002191
01:21:01.720 --> 01:21:05.020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: ang indicator for promotion, pati yung commercialization.

asr-002192
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.

asr-002193
01:21:13.320 --> 01:21:14.880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Pero tinutuloy po natin.

asr-002194
01:21:15.140 --> 01:21:18.340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, we will be having continuous dialogue with them.

asr-002195
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.

asr-002196
01:21:24.020 --> 01:21:26.940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And I think gumagana na po yun.

asr-002197
01:21:27.040 --> 01:21:28.200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: It would just take time.

asr-002198
01:21:28.320 --> 01:21:31.360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Hindi ka agad makukuha yung ganong mindset.

asr-002199
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.

asr-002200
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.

asr-002201
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,

asr-002202
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.

asr-002203
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.

asr-002204
01:21:57.460 --> 01:21:58.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, we should respect that.

asr-002205
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.

asr-002206
01:22:03.120 --> 01:22:04.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And they want to do the research.

asr-002207
01:22:05.040 --> 01:22:05.960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, iba yung path nila.

asr-002208
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.

asr-002209
01:22:09.320 --> 01:22:11.840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: At dalawa naman yan.

asr-002210
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.

asr-002211
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.

asr-002212
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.

asr-002213
01:22:43.820 --> 01:22:47.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, this is something we can also start to develop.

asr-002214
01:22:47.760 --> 01:22:49.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yes, Mr. Senator.

asr-002215
01:22:50.160 --> 01:22:52.200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ako, I would suggest maganda ito with DTI.

asr-002216
01:22:52.440 --> 01:22:56.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi, they do a lot of thematic trade fairs.

asr-002217
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.

asr-002218
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.

asr-002219
01:23:13.920 --> 01:23:17.140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, baka maganda mong mag-link up tayo dyan.

asr-002220
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.

asr-002221
01:23:22.000 --> 01:23:22.820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That's also my law.

asr-002222
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.

asr-002223
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.

asr-002224
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...

asr-002225
01:23:47.760 --> 01:23:53.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi na nagpo-progress into a full market reach.

asr-002226
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.

asr-002227
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.

asr-002228
01:24:07.620 --> 01:24:09.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But again, the model is different.

asr-002229
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.

asr-002230
01:24:16.640 --> 01:24:17.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, I'm sure...

asr-002231
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.

asr-002232
01:24:19.640 --> 01:24:21.860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, we can work on that with DTI also.

asr-002233
01:24:22.880 --> 01:24:23.140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-002234
01:24:24.220 --> 01:24:26.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Let me ask about AI.

asr-002235
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?

asr-002236
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?

asr-002237
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.

asr-002238
01:24:47.760 --> 01:24:54.100
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, we developed the AI Strategy Framework and Implementation Strategy.

asr-002239
01:24:54.640 --> 01:24:57.240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: This was approved last May or last year.

asr-002240
01:24:57.440 --> 01:24:58.360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Okay. So, one year na.

asr-002241
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.

asr-002242
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.

asr-002243
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.

asr-002244
01:25:15.600 --> 01:25:17.740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Pagdating naman sa governance and policy,

asr-002245
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,

asr-002246
01:25:24.100 --> 01:25:26.360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: of course, together with the private sector and DTI.

asr-002247
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,

asr-002248
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.

asr-002249
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.

asr-002250
01:25:45.160 --> 01:25:47.160
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: As we have established the...

asr-002251
01:25:47.760 --> 01:25:53.360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: computing facility already, which we are actually increasing the compute.

asr-002252
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.

asr-002253
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.

asr-002254
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.

asr-002255
01:26:06.900 --> 01:26:10.700
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Lahat po ng director, regional office, ginagawa po natin niya.

asr-002256
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.

asr-002257
01:26:14.600 --> 01:26:17.740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, we have concept.

asr-002258
01:26:17.760 --> 01:26:19.700
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: We have conceptualized a human-centered AI.

asr-002259
01:26:20.440 --> 01:26:25.960
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, essentially, AI helping us perform better and of quality.

asr-002260
01:26:26.060 --> 01:26:27.860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, that's under ASTI?

asr-002261
01:26:28.300 --> 01:26:29.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ang National AI Center?

asr-002262
01:26:29.660 --> 01:26:30.900
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yes po, sa ASTI po.

asr-002263
01:26:31.040 --> 01:26:31.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay, sige.

asr-002264
01:26:31.680 --> 01:26:32.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kay Dr. De Leon, no?

asr-002265
01:26:33.560 --> 01:26:34.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, ito naman po, mungkahi lang.

asr-002266
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,

asr-002267
01:26:47.800 --> 01:26:48.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: history?

asr-002268
01:26:49.360 --> 01:26:50.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Are we starting to do that?

asr-002269
01:26:51.440 --> 01:26:52.440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: Good afternoon, Your Honor.

asr-002270
01:26:52.440 --> 01:26:53.440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: Thank you, Secretary.

asr-002271
01:26:53.440 --> 01:26:54.440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: Yes po.

asr-002272
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.

asr-002273
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.

asr-002274
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.

asr-002275
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.

asr-002276
01:27:14.440 --> 01:27:17.440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: In fact, kaka-approval po ng major program.

asr-002277
01:27:17.440 --> 01:27:20.440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: On developing our own LLM.

asr-002278
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.

asr-002279
01:27:29.440 --> 01:27:33.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yes, and more importantly, cultural and history, no?

asr-002280
01:27:33.440 --> 01:27:36.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, the National AI Center is in charge of that.

asr-002281
01:27:36.440 --> 01:27:38.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Are you gonna make that open to the public?

asr-002282
01:27:38.440 --> 01:27:40.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Is it already open to the public?

asr-002283
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.

asr-002284
01:27:44.440 --> 01:27:45.440
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: So, i-distinguish ko lang po.

asr-002285
01:27:45.440 --> 01:27:46.920
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: Yung NAICRI, National AI Center.

asr-002286
01:27:46.920 --> 01:27:48.920
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: National AI Center for Research Innovation.

asr-002287
01:27:48.920 --> 01:27:51.920
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: So, that's the infrastructure part.

asr-002288
01:27:51.920 --> 01:27:54.920
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: The whole AI program being supported by DOST.

asr-002289
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.

asr-002290
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.

asr-002291
01:28:04.920 --> 01:28:06.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Is that in your budget?

asr-002292
01:28:06.920 --> 01:28:08.920
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: It will be. So, currently...

asr-002293
01:28:08.920 --> 01:28:11.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, it's not in the 2027 budget?

asr-002294
01:28:11.920 --> 01:28:14.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, it's OSEC? Nasa OSEC pa?

asr-002295
01:28:14.920 --> 01:28:15.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-002296
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?

asr-002297
01:28:24.920 --> 01:28:26.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: American-made AI.

asr-002298
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.

asr-002299
01:28:31.920 --> 01:28:33.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Mas maraming gumagamit.

asr-002300
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.

asr-002301
01:28:41.920 --> 01:28:43.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na...

asr-002302
01:28:43.920 --> 01:28:48.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: As you keep on using the AI, the AI...

asr-002303
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.

asr-002304
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.

asr-002305
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.

asr-002306
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?

asr-002307
01:29:09.920 --> 01:29:11.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, if we're not careful...

asr-002308
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.

asr-002309
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?

asr-002310
01:29:23.920 --> 01:29:26.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, having our own...

asr-002311
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.

asr-002312
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,

asr-002313
01:29:40.920 --> 01:29:42.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: will be...

asr-002314
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?

asr-002315
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?

asr-002316
01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:01.200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: to dominate, no?

asr-002317
01:30:01.620 --> 01:30:02.300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sige po, Sek.

asr-002318
01:30:02.740 --> 01:30:03.480
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Of course,

asr-002319
01:30:03.900 --> 01:30:05.260
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we will not compete with them.

asr-002320
01:30:05.720 --> 01:30:07.440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But we will be developing

asr-002321
01:30:07.440 --> 01:30:08.960
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: our large language models

asr-002322
01:30:08.960 --> 01:30:10.440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: or even smaller language models

asr-002323
01:30:10.440 --> 01:30:13.220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to address the specific challenges

asr-002324
01:30:13.220 --> 01:30:14.320
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and problems we have.

asr-002325
01:30:14.960 --> 01:30:15.120
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Now,

asr-002326
01:30:16.500 --> 01:30:17.940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: while we use

asr-002327
01:30:17.940 --> 01:30:20.380
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: or develop large language models,

asr-002328
01:30:20.580 --> 01:30:21.260
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the critical

asr-002329
01:30:21.260 --> 01:30:24.580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: program or input

asr-002330
01:30:24.580 --> 01:30:25.720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: or fuel to the AI

asr-002331
01:30:25.720 --> 01:30:27.280
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: would be our sovereign data.

asr-002332
01:30:27.600 --> 01:30:27.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Exactly.

asr-002333
01:30:27.940 --> 01:30:29.740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So DOSD po is developing

asr-002334
01:30:29.740 --> 01:30:33.400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and if you heard of the word gates,

asr-002335
01:30:34.040 --> 01:30:34.860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: hindi po si Bill Gates,

asr-002336
01:30:34.940 --> 01:30:35.820
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: but it's called

asr-002337
01:30:35.820 --> 01:30:37.040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the Geospatial Analytics

asr-002338
01:30:37.040 --> 01:30:38.920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and Technology Solutions Platform.

asr-002339
01:30:39.360 --> 01:30:40.940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: We're digitizing all data

asr-002340
01:30:40.940 --> 01:30:41.840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: that we have

asr-002341
01:30:41.840 --> 01:30:43.040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and other partners

asr-002342
01:30:43.040 --> 01:30:44.800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and peg every data

asr-002343
01:30:44.800 --> 01:30:46.580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to a specific geographic location

asr-002344
01:30:46.580 --> 01:30:49.200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: so that we can interoperate everything

asr-002345
01:30:49.200 --> 01:30:50.340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and use AI

asr-002346
01:30:50.340 --> 01:30:51.620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to do analytics.

asr-002347
01:30:52.560 --> 01:30:54.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: We will create our own

asr-002348
01:30:54.540 --> 01:30:56.640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: data lake house for that

asr-002349
01:30:56.640 --> 01:30:58.780
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and we are already operating it

asr-002350
01:30:58.780 --> 01:30:59.720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and all the regional

asr-002351
01:30:59.720 --> 01:31:01.000
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and provincial operations

asr-002352
01:31:01.000 --> 01:31:03.120
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: together with LGUs

asr-002353
01:31:03.120 --> 01:31:04.120
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: or academic partners

asr-002354
01:31:04.120 --> 01:31:05.800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: that would want to use that system

asr-002355
01:31:05.800 --> 01:31:08.480
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: are free to use that.

asr-002356
01:31:09.200 --> 01:31:09.820
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Of course,

asr-002357
01:31:09.880 --> 01:31:11.660
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we're trying to finish up the platform

asr-002358
01:31:11.660 --> 01:31:13.760
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: para yung data

asr-002359
01:31:13.760 --> 01:31:15.240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: will just go into the lake house

asr-002360
01:31:15.240 --> 01:31:16.800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: para magamit po natin yun

asr-002361
01:31:16.800 --> 01:31:18.360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for our own AI use.

asr-002362
01:31:18.480 --> 01:31:18.680

asr-002364
01:31:20.400 --> 01:31:21.860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: in tandem with the AI center.

asr-002365
01:31:22.020 --> 01:31:23.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But let's not forget na

asr-002366
01:31:23.620 --> 01:31:24.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung training yan

asr-002367
01:31:24.580 --> 01:31:26.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: is also retro...

asr-002368
01:31:26.020 --> 01:31:26.300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I mean,

asr-002369
01:31:26.440 --> 01:31:27.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: it's things in the past

asr-002370
01:31:27.420 --> 01:31:28.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: not just things

asr-002371
01:31:28.120 --> 01:31:29.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: prospectively.

asr-002372
01:31:29.720 --> 01:31:30.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Diba?

asr-002373
01:31:30.560 --> 01:31:31.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, for example,

asr-002374
01:31:32.100 --> 01:31:32.880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: if we're using

asr-002375
01:31:32.880 --> 01:31:34.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Chinese AI

asr-002376
01:31:34.540 --> 01:31:35.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and you talk about

asr-002377
01:31:35.500 --> 01:31:36.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: South China Sea,

asr-002378
01:31:36.880 --> 01:31:37.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: West Philippine Sea,

asr-002379
01:31:37.700 --> 01:31:38.400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: iba yung perspective

asr-002380
01:31:38.400 --> 01:31:39.240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: na ilalabas niya.

asr-002381
01:31:39.860 --> 01:31:40.080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Diba?

asr-002382
01:31:40.560 --> 01:31:42.300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yun yung mga mahalaga.

asr-002383
01:31:42.520 --> 01:31:44.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or even just the fact

asr-002384
01:31:44.120 --> 01:31:44.720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: that it's become

asr-002385
01:31:44.720 --> 01:31:45.720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: such an important source

asr-002386

asr-002387
01:31:46.380 --> 01:31:48.280

asr-002388
01:31:48.280 --> 01:31:50.080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: is not a Filipino perspective.

asr-002389
01:31:50.440 --> 01:31:50.520
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Diba?

asr-002390
01:31:50.680 --> 01:31:52.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, we're really...

asr-002391
01:31:52.180 --> 01:31:54.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That's a possible danger

asr-002392
01:31:54.000 --> 01:31:54.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yan down there.

asr-002393
01:31:54.540 --> 01:31:55.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I'm sure you're very aware

asr-002394
01:31:55.340 --> 01:31:56.160

01:31:59.360 --> 01:32:00.640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: you can launch this,

asr-002399
01:32:00.780 --> 01:32:01.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: make it available

asr-002400
01:32:01.420 --> 01:32:02.240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: to the public.

asr-002421
01:32:26.600 --> 01:32:28.500
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: except that it works

asr-002422
01:32:28.500 --> 01:32:29.340
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: really on a

asr-002423
01:32:29.360 --> 01:32:30.520
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: private space.

asr-002424
01:32:30.680 --> 01:32:31.200

asr-002428
01:32:34.640 --> 01:32:35.160
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: yun ang po ginagamit.

asr-002429
01:32:35.200 --> 01:32:36.080
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: So, you could query it

asr-002430
01:32:36.080 --> 01:32:36.940
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: Filipino,

asr-002431
01:32:37.220 --> 01:32:37.640

asr-002438
01:32:43.240 --> 01:32:44.400
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: and once we,

asr-002439
01:32:45.080 --> 01:32:45.900
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: pag kinikwento na po namin

asr-002447
01:32:51.540 --> 01:32:52.880
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: sa Butuan po.

asr-002448
01:32:53.040 --> 01:32:53.820
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: So, kahit pa paano,

asr-002449
01:32:54.020 --> 01:32:55.080
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: ginagamit na po nila.

asr-002450
01:32:55.320 --> 01:32:55.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Okay.

asr-002451
01:32:55.540 --> 01:32:56.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, they can appropriate

asr-002452
01:32:56.420 --> 01:32:57.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: that chatbot,

asr-002453
01:32:58.940 --> 01:32:59.200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: basically.

asr-002454
01:32:59.360 --> 01:32:59.840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yeah.

asr-002455
01:33:00.240 --> 01:33:01.600

asr-002462
01:33:06.680 --> 01:33:07.540
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: And as you mentioned,

asr-002463
01:33:07.740 --> 01:33:09.100
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: yung AI safety

asr-002464
01:33:09.100 --> 01:33:09.960

asr-002466
01:33:11.480 --> 01:33:11.840
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: So,

asr-002467
01:33:12.120 --> 01:33:13.080
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: we are very particular

asr-002468
01:33:13.080 --> 01:33:14.320
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: about the kind of

asr-002469
01:33:14.320 --> 01:33:14.840

asr-002470
01:33:15.040 --> 01:33:15.720
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: syempre dapat po

asr-002471
01:33:15.720 --> 01:33:16.180
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: vetted.

asr-002472
01:33:16.500 --> 01:33:17.180

asr-002474
01:33:19.240 --> 01:33:20.200
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: and also,

asr-002475
01:33:20.520 --> 01:33:21.320
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: kumbaga hindi po siya

asr-002476
01:33:21.320 --> 01:33:21.760
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: madaling

asr-002477

asr-002479
01:33:23.440 --> 01:33:24.320
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: So, we're aware

asr-002480
01:33:24.320 --> 01:33:24.920
DOST-ASTI Director Franz A. de Leon: of those issues.

asr-002483
01:33:26.640 --> 01:33:26.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: but

asr-002484
01:33:26.920 --> 01:33:28.880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: it is in your budget,

asr-002485
01:33:28.980 --> 01:33:29.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: right?

asr-002486
01:33:29.360 --> 01:33:30.700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: To further develop this

asr-002487
01:33:30.700 --> 01:33:31.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and eventually

01:33:31.900 --> 01:33:32.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: make it more accessible

asr-002489
01:33:32.900 --> 01:33:33.640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: to the public.

asr-002649
01:36:37.060 --> 01:36:39.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: for all the flooding

asr-002650
01:36:39.580 --> 01:36:40.860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: na nakikita ho natin?

asr-002651
01:36:41.700 --> 01:36:41.880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Naman,

asr-002652
01:36:41.900 --> 01:36:43.700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: monitor nyo naman po yan,

asr-002653
01:36:43.800 --> 01:36:43.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: diba?

asr-002654
01:36:44.200 --> 01:36:44.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Tama naman na

asr-002655
01:36:44.940 --> 01:36:46.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the flooding has gotten worse,

asr-002656
01:36:46.560 --> 01:36:46.720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: right?

asr-002657
01:36:46.860 --> 01:36:47.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Is that

asr-002658
01:36:47.120 --> 01:36:49.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: do you have scientific

asr-002659
01:36:49.440 --> 01:36:50.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: evidence to that?

asr-002660
01:36:50.460 --> 01:36:51.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or is that just a

asr-002661
01:36:51.420 --> 01:36:52.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: feeling lang po yun?

asr-002662
01:36:53.100 --> 01:36:53.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Parang

asr-002663
01:36:53.480 --> 01:36:55.060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: meron naman ata, no?

asr-002664
01:36:55.140 --> 01:36:56.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Natatrack nyo po ba?

asr-002665
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.

asr-002666
01:37:26.000 --> 01:37:28.280
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: But, of course,

asr-002667
01:37:28.420 --> 01:37:29.360
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ang risks

asr-002668
01:37:29.360 --> 01:37:30.180
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ay

asr-002669
01:37:30.180 --> 01:37:31.680
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: nag-increase

asr-002670
01:37:31.680 --> 01:37:32.640
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: because of

asr-002671
01:37:32.640 --> 01:37:34.220
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: yung mga exposed

asr-002672
01:37:34.220 --> 01:37:35.660
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: communities.

asr-002673
01:37:36.640 --> 01:37:38.260
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: If you have compared

asr-002674
01:37:38.260 --> 01:37:39.520
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: several years ago,

asr-002675
01:37:39.820 --> 01:37:40.180
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ngayon,

asr-002676
01:37:41.500 --> 01:37:42.220
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: maraming mga

asr-002677
01:37:42.220 --> 01:37:42.920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: structures,

asr-002678
01:37:43.160 --> 01:37:43.720
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: communities

asr-002679
01:37:43.720 --> 01:37:45.140
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: along the

asr-002680
01:37:45.140 --> 01:37:48.620
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: areas that are exposed to these hazards,

asr-002681
01:37:50.540 --> 01:37:51.240
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: nagiging

asr-002682
01:37:51.240 --> 01:37:53.920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: ang impacts, no?

asr-002683
01:37:54.020 --> 01:37:55.200
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Nagiging enhanced.

asr-002684
01:37:55.200 --> 01:37:55.980
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: But,

asr-002685
01:37:56.000 --> 01:37:58.220
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: one of the

asr-002686
01:37:58.220 --> 01:37:59.920
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: initiatives na ginagawa ng

asr-002687
01:37:59.920 --> 01:38:00.960
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: PAGASA now,

asr-002688
01:38:01.760 --> 01:38:03.740
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: we started to operationalize impact.

asr-002689
01:38:03.920 --> 01:38:05.600
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: Ito po yung, hindi lamang

asr-002690
01:38:05.600 --> 01:38:07.360
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: forecasting the hazards, but

asr-002691
01:38:07.360 --> 01:38:09.700
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: focus on the

asr-002692
01:38:09.700 --> 01:38:11.640
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: impacts. Ang tawag namin dito,

asr-002693
01:38:11.740 --> 01:38:13.180
PAGASA Administrator Nathaniel T. Servando: impact-based forecasting.

asr-002694
01:38:13.640 --> 01:38:15.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung Project NOAA po is with

asr-002695
01:38:15.560 --> 01:38:16.400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: PAGASA, right? No?

asr-002696
01:38:16.800 --> 01:38:19.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ah, with UP. Okay.

asr-002697
01:38:20.100 --> 01:38:20.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But, see,

asr-002698
01:38:21.540 --> 01:38:23.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the hazard maps on Project NOAA,

asr-002699
01:38:24.740 --> 01:38:25.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: that's updated.

asr-002700
01:38:25.620 --> 01:38:27.400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And you coordinate naman ho siguro on that?

asr-002701
01:38:27.580 --> 01:38:29.080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or you don't have anything to do with that?

asr-002702
01:38:30.840 --> 01:38:31.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: You get rainfall data.

asr-002703
01:38:33.300 --> 01:38:35.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Project NOAA gets rainfall data from PAGASA.

asr-002704
01:38:36.580 --> 01:38:37.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yes, no?

asr-002705
01:38:39.260 --> 01:38:39.780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sige.

asr-002706
01:38:39.960 --> 01:38:41.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi, I'm thinking,

asr-002707
01:38:41.600 --> 01:38:42.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: how can we be more

asr-002708
01:38:42.920 --> 01:38:45.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: responsive

asr-002709
01:38:45.160 --> 01:38:46.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: sa mga

asr-002710
01:38:46.020 --> 01:38:49.200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: LGUs, no? Because I think itong

asr-002711
01:38:49.200 --> 01:38:51.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: last few weeks of Habagat,

asr-002712
01:38:52.120 --> 01:38:53.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: parang maraming areas na hindi

asr-002713
01:38:53.380 --> 01:38:54.880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: nababaha noon na

asr-002714
01:38:54.880 --> 01:38:55.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: nababaha.

asr-002715
01:38:55.620 --> 01:38:56.700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Baha na ulit ngayon, eh, no?

asr-002716
01:38:56.740 --> 01:38:58.240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sige po, Sek, if you have something to share.

asr-002717
01:38:58.960 --> 01:39:01.440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: The real problem with flood is not simply

asr-002718
01:39:01.440 --> 01:39:03.520
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: forecasting it, but essentially

asr-002719
01:39:03.520 --> 01:39:05.600
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: evaluating the

asr-002720
01:39:05.600 --> 01:39:07.420
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: changes that happens

asr-002721
01:39:07.420 --> 01:39:09.340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: in a local government with time.

asr-002722
01:39:09.860 --> 01:39:11.040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: As they, for example,

asr-002723
01:39:11.360 --> 01:39:13.280
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: concretize and would

asr-002724
01:39:13.280 --> 01:39:15.240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: convert many surfaces

asr-002725
01:39:15.240 --> 01:39:17.400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to asphalt or concrete,

asr-002726
01:39:17.960 --> 01:39:19.360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: then the rainfall

asr-002727
01:39:19.360 --> 01:39:21.640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: that instead of going down the soil

asr-002728
01:39:21.640 --> 01:39:23.400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: would just flow and run off

asr-002729
01:39:23.400 --> 01:39:25.540
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: towards the drainage. And sometimes,

asr-002730
01:39:25.540 --> 01:39:26.160
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the drainage

asr-002731
01:39:26.160 --> 01:39:29.060
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: is not enough already.

asr-002732
01:39:29.760 --> 01:39:30.580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, kulang.

asr-002733
01:39:31.320 --> 01:39:33.520
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And, of course, nagkakaroon din ng pagbara

asr-002734
01:39:33.520 --> 01:39:35.500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: yung mga drainage, yung ilog

asr-002735
01:39:35.500 --> 01:39:37.260
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: na dating malapat ay kumikipot

asr-002736
01:39:37.260 --> 01:39:38.760
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: because of urbanization.

asr-002737
01:39:39.340 --> 01:39:41.360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, there are many factors. Those should also

asr-002738
01:39:41.360 --> 01:39:43.520
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: be monitored. That is why

asr-002739
01:39:43.520 --> 01:39:45.380
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: DOST

asr-002740
01:39:45.380 --> 01:39:47.400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and, of course, with PHIVOX

asr-002741
01:39:47.400 --> 01:39:48.640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: in partnership with

asr-002742
01:39:48.640 --> 01:39:50.920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: DISHUT, developed

asr-002743
01:39:50.920 --> 01:39:52.840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: a PlanSmart

asr-002744
01:39:52.840 --> 01:39:54.920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for Sustainable Human Settlement.

asr-002745
01:39:55.540 --> 01:39:57.220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Na i-automate yung mga

asr-002746
01:39:57.220 --> 01:39:58.580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: hazard and risk assessment

asr-002747
01:39:58.580 --> 01:40:01.060
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: so that they spend more time

asr-002748
01:40:01.060 --> 01:40:02.420
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: on designing their

asr-002749
01:40:02.420 --> 01:40:05.080
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: settlement more rather than getting

asr-002750
01:40:05.080 --> 01:40:07.140
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: data. And so, this

asr-002751
01:40:07.140 --> 01:40:09.180
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: need to be continuously done.

asr-002752
01:40:09.360 --> 01:40:10.980
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Hindi lang one-off planning and

asr-002753
01:40:10.980 --> 01:40:11.740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: bahala ka na.

asr-002754
01:40:12.680 --> 01:40:15.160
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: The second is the HANDA integrated platform

asr-002755
01:40:15.160 --> 01:40:17.240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: which was also mentioned.

asr-002756
01:40:17.520 --> 01:40:17.960
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: It is

asr-002757
01:40:17.960 --> 01:40:20.480
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: a one-stop shop for

asr-002758
01:40:20.480 --> 01:40:23.000
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: warning. So, if you just use

asr-002759
01:40:23.000 --> 01:40:25.140
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the GPS of your phone, it will

asr-002760
01:40:25.140 --> 01:40:26.060
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: tell you exactly

asr-002761
01:40:26.060 --> 01:40:28.940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: ano yung active weather system,

asr-002762
01:40:29.040 --> 01:40:30.200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: kung may earthquake na recent,

asr-002763
01:40:30.880 --> 01:40:33.120
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: or active volcanoes erupting, or tsunami warning.

asr-002764
01:40:33.800 --> 01:40:34.900
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: You can also use AI

asr-002765
01:40:34.900 --> 01:40:36.240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: to determine the hazards.

asr-002766
01:40:36.800 --> 01:40:37.400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, essentially,

asr-002767
01:40:38.160 --> 01:40:40.860
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: from the various applications around,

asr-002768
01:40:41.440 --> 01:40:43.020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: one can actually be informed of what

asr-002769
01:40:43.020 --> 01:40:44.820
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: can happen. So, the impact-based

asr-002770
01:40:44.820 --> 01:40:46.800
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: forecasting of pag-asa is very critical.

asr-002771
01:40:47.740 --> 01:40:49.040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, yun po is how to

asr-002772
01:40:49.040 --> 01:40:51.080
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: ensure that people understand

asr-002773
01:40:51.080 --> 01:40:52.920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: it. And kailan talagang

asr-002774
01:40:52.920 --> 01:40:54.300
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: palakasin sa local level.

asr-002775
01:40:55.140 --> 01:40:56.700
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yun po yung sigurong kailan.

asr-002776
01:40:56.720 --> 01:40:59.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Let me ask, Secretary, kung kunyari, isa akong

asr-002777
01:40:59.020 --> 01:41:00.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: munisipyo,

asr-002778
01:41:01.140 --> 01:41:03.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: tapos napapansin ko, gumagrabi

asr-002779
01:41:03.360 --> 01:41:04.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung flooding sa amin.

asr-002780
01:41:04.960 --> 01:41:06.980
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Would you have that service where

asr-002781
01:41:06.980 --> 01:41:08.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: an LGU,

asr-002782
01:41:09.260 --> 01:41:11.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: kasi yung inabanggit nyo

asr-002783
01:41:11.120 --> 01:41:12.820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: kanina, settlements po yun, di ba?

asr-002784
01:41:12.900 --> 01:41:14.660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, hindi naman siya LGU-wide.

asr-002785
01:41:15.360 --> 01:41:17.040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But, would you have that

asr-002786
01:41:17.040 --> 01:41:18.960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: capability to

asr-002787
01:41:18.960 --> 01:41:20.820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: advise an LGU, for example,

asr-002788
01:41:20.820 --> 01:41:22.720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: na looking at all of the data

asr-002789
01:41:22.720 --> 01:41:24.640
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: from pag-asa, from PHIVOX,

asr-002790
01:41:25.140 --> 01:41:27.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: our AI platform, and all of that.

asr-002791
01:41:27.700 --> 01:41:28.220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ito yung

asr-002792
01:41:28.220 --> 01:41:30.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: recommendations namin to an LGU

asr-002793
01:41:30.760 --> 01:41:33.140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: to be more safe,

asr-002794
01:41:33.300 --> 01:41:35.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or to be more

asr-002795
01:41:35.120 --> 01:41:37.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ready. Ito yung mga area na kailangan

asr-002796
01:41:37.120 --> 01:41:38.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung bantayan. Ito yung mga red zones

asr-002797
01:41:38.940 --> 01:41:41.140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: natin dito. You should evacuate people

asr-002798
01:41:41.140 --> 01:41:42.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: from this part because

asr-002799
01:41:42.940 --> 01:41:44.700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: any kind of rainfall,

asr-002800
01:41:45.000 --> 01:41:46.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or rainfall even of a minimal

asr-002801
01:41:46.800 --> 01:41:48.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: capacity will flood this area.

asr-002802
01:41:48.840 --> 01:41:50.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Would the OST have that

asr-002803
01:41:50.020 --> 01:41:52.840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: capability to support our LGUs?

asr-002804
01:41:52.840 --> 01:41:55.060
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yes. The apps actually are LGU-based.

asr-002805
01:41:55.140 --> 01:41:56.940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Even though the shoot settlement planning

asr-002806
01:41:56.940 --> 01:41:58.680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: is LGU-based. Ah, hindi lang siya

asr-002807
01:41:58.680 --> 01:42:01.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: parang township? Hindi, hindi. Talagang LGU

asr-002808
01:42:01.000 --> 01:42:02.620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: yung boundary. Okay. So,

asr-002809
01:42:03.080 --> 01:42:04.880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: there are many apps that have been

asr-002810
01:42:04.880 --> 01:42:06.780
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: developed by PHIVOX when I was

asr-002811
01:42:06.780 --> 01:42:09.060
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: their director. So, these are available.

asr-002812
01:42:09.220 --> 01:42:10.640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: That's why, very big

asr-002813
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

asr-002814
01:42:12.900 --> 01:42:14.920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: of the application. The real concern

asr-002815
01:42:14.920 --> 01:42:16.620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: though is, siyempre,

asr-002816
01:42:17.360 --> 01:42:17.920
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we're

asr-002817
01:42:17.920 --> 01:42:20.960
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: really, in some

asr-002818
01:42:20.960 --> 01:42:22.640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: areas, talagang maliit pa lang na walang

asr-002819
01:42:22.640 --> 01:42:24.980
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: babahin. And so, kailangan talaga

asr-002820
01:42:24.980 --> 01:42:26.760
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: nilang tingnan kung ano yung

asr-002821
01:42:26.760 --> 01:42:29.000
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: intervention doon. And that

asr-002822
01:42:29.000 --> 01:42:30.500
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: is why when we show the various

asr-002823
01:42:30.500 --> 01:42:33.020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: applications that we have

asr-002824
01:42:33.020 --> 01:42:34.880
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for flood management or water management,

asr-002825
01:42:35.980 --> 01:42:37.080
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: kailangan talagang

asr-002826
01:42:37.080 --> 01:42:39.020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: may tumutok doon sa kanila. Kasi siyempre,

asr-002827
01:42:39.140 --> 01:42:41.020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: hindi naman tayo 24

asr-002828
01:42:41.020 --> 01:42:42.580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: hour by 7 para lang sa kanila.

asr-002829
01:42:42.900 --> 01:42:44.600
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, the apps are there to guide them.

asr-002830
01:42:45.260 --> 01:42:45.900
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: But, and then,

asr-002831
01:42:46.960 --> 01:42:48.620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: they can have their own

asr-002832
01:42:48.620 --> 01:42:50.700
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: standard operating procedure

asr-002833
01:42:50.700 --> 01:42:52.620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: for their locality.

asr-002834
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.

asr-002835
01:42:54.980 --> 01:42:56.420
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Part 1 ng aming service siya.

asr-002836
01:42:56.460 --> 01:42:58.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Have you done a, like an

asr-002837
01:42:58.940 --> 01:42:59.720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: LGU

asr-002838
01:42:59.720 --> 01:43:02.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: plan na ito yung

asr-002839
01:43:02.760 --> 01:43:04.700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: hazard, ito yung mga areas na

asr-002840
01:43:04.700 --> 01:43:05.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: delikado, and

asr-002841
01:43:05.920 --> 01:43:08.280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: which LGUs po yan?

asr-002842
01:43:09.140 --> 01:43:10.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ano lang, so

asr-002843
01:43:10.600 --> 01:43:11.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we know, diba?

asr-002844
01:43:12.680 --> 01:43:13.760
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Si Dr. Bacong.

asr-002845
01:43:14.900 --> 01:43:16.900
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: The DHSUD has already

asr-002846
01:43:16.900 --> 01:43:18.540
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: trained, I think,

asr-002847
01:43:18.640 --> 01:43:20.720
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: more than 300 LGUs.

asr-002848
01:43:20.800 --> 01:43:22.940
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Oh, really? And you partnered with the DHSUD?

asr-002849
01:43:22.940 --> 01:43:24.900
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: The PlanSmart for

asr-002850
01:43:24.980 --> 01:43:26.140
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: Sustainable Communities, which

asr-002851
01:43:26.140 --> 01:43:28.280
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: PHIVOLCS developed.

asr-002852
01:43:28.560 --> 01:43:30.680
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: So, it's now owned by the DHSUD.

asr-002853
01:43:30.920 --> 01:43:32.640
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: But, of course, we still continue to

asr-002854
01:43:32.640 --> 01:43:33.600
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: give support

asr-002855
01:43:33.600 --> 01:43:36.840
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: kapag may questions sila

asr-002856
01:43:36.840 --> 01:43:38.500
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: on how they,

asr-002857
01:43:39.340 --> 01:43:40.960
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: papano i, if there are

asr-002858
01:43:40.960 --> 01:43:42.140
DOST-PHIVOLCS Director Teresito C. Bacolcol: problems on the platform.

asr-002859
01:43:42.640 --> 01:43:45.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or if you're updating the data.

asr-002860
01:43:45.300 --> 01:43:46.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: If you're updating the data.

asr-002861
01:43:46.640 --> 01:43:48.220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, you worked with the DHSUD.

asr-002862
01:43:48.620 --> 01:43:50.660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: The DHSUD uses your data and

asr-002863
01:43:50.660 --> 01:43:52.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the apps when they

asr-002864
01:43:52.800 --> 01:43:53.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: roll out.

asr-002865
01:43:53.380 --> 01:43:55.320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, they can guide

asr-002866
01:43:55.320 --> 01:43:57.720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: all of their new areas also, and old areas.

asr-002867
01:43:57.880 --> 01:43:58.280
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: That's right.

asr-002868
01:43:58.560 --> 01:44:00.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, yan, ramdam na ramdam mga kang dyan.

asr-002869
01:44:00.680 --> 01:44:03.220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And then, I developed a program

asr-002870
01:44:03.220 --> 01:44:05.240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: which is operated by the regional office.

asr-002871
01:44:05.360 --> 01:44:07.140
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: The development of smart and sustainable

asr-002872
01:44:07.140 --> 01:44:08.840
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: cities, towns, or province.

asr-002873
01:44:09.420 --> 01:44:11.520
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Disaster and climate resilience is one component.

asr-002874
01:44:12.220 --> 01:44:13.240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, yung masyadong

asr-002875
01:44:13.240 --> 01:44:15.340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: gustong mas advanced, we can

asr-002876
01:44:15.340 --> 01:44:17.320
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: develop a digital twin for them.

asr-002877
01:44:17.760 --> 01:44:19.580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: You can actually create a three-dimensional

asr-002878
01:44:19.580 --> 01:44:21.400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: computer-based

asr-002879
01:44:21.400 --> 01:44:23.320
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: twin of

asr-002880
01:44:23.380 --> 01:44:25.400
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the physical, and then do the hazard

asr-002881
01:44:25.400 --> 01:44:27.460
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: modeling. So, we also partner

asr-002882
01:44:27.460 --> 01:44:28.940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: with the

asr-002883
01:44:28.940 --> 01:44:31.180
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: genetic group of UP on that.

asr-002884
01:44:31.720 --> 01:44:33.360
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So, depende po sa interest

asr-002885
01:44:33.360 --> 01:44:35.180
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: ng LGU, maraming

asr-002886
01:44:35.180 --> 01:44:37.200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: intervention na pwede kawin, but they have to have

asr-002887
01:44:37.200 --> 01:44:39.340
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: their own personnel to be our

asr-002888
01:44:39.340 --> 01:44:41.520
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: counterpart. And yung ganyan po,

asr-002889
01:44:41.600 --> 01:44:43.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: they go to you, or you go to them?

asr-002890
01:44:43.480 --> 01:44:45.220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: For the smart and sustainable,

asr-002891
01:44:45.420 --> 01:44:47.220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: may 150 pilots po tayo.

asr-002892
01:44:47.340 --> 01:44:48.620
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: We offer them the various

asr-002893
01:44:48.620 --> 01:44:50.780
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: technologies that we can share with them.

asr-002894
01:44:51.680 --> 01:44:53.180
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yung iba, marami po disaster

asr-002895
01:44:53.180 --> 01:44:54.980
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: resilience. So, may mga MOA po sila.

asr-002896
01:44:55.740 --> 01:44:57.440
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: And one of the things that we do

asr-002897
01:44:57.440 --> 01:44:59.240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: first is to train them about

asr-002898
01:44:59.240 --> 01:44:59.980
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: the different apps.

asr-002899
01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:01.720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Sige po

01:47:40.100 --> 01:47:41.320
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Sir senator

01:47:45.020 --> 01:47:46.520

asr-003005
01:47:46.520 --> 01:47:48.960
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: DOST agencies

asr-003006
01:47:48.960 --> 01:47:51.220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Essentially because

asr-003007
01:47:51.220 --> 01:47:52.640
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: There are projects that

asr-003008
01:47:52.640 --> 01:47:54.020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: They will operate anyway

asr-003009
01:47:54.020 --> 01:47:56.100
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Unfortunately we

asr-003010
01:47:56.100 --> 01:47:57.940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Think that some of the amounts

asr-003011
01:47:57.940 --> 01:47:59.820
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: That are not intended

asr-003012
01:47:59.820 --> 01:48:00.600
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: For the agencies

asr-003013

DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Balik na lang muna sa amin

asr-003016

asr-003018
01:48:07.480 --> 01:48:09.020
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Which will not be used

asr-003019
01:48:09.020 --> 01:48:09.720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: By the agency

asr-003020
01:48:09.720 --> 01:48:11.040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: So that's why the request

asr-003021
01:48:11.040 --> 01:48:14.680
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Of 516 million

asr-003022
01:48:14.680 --> 01:48:17.160
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: 31,000

asr-003023
01:48:17.160 --> 01:48:19.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Who receives the grants and aid?

asr-003024
01:48:19.640 --> 01:48:20.940
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Iba-ibang agencies

asr-003026
01:48:21.960 --> 01:48:23.060

asr-003027
01:48:23.060 --> 01:48:24.200
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: The office of the secretary

asr-003028

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Ah okay

asr-003029

asr-003030
01:48:26.100 --> 01:48:27.580
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: That our R&D was

asr-003031
01:48:27.580 --> 01:48:29.000
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Decreased because of

asr-003032
01:48:29.000 --> 01:48:30.520
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: The downloading to agencies

asr-003033

01:48:36.980 --> 01:48:38.300
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: From the DOST agencies

asr-003373
01:57:14.240 --> 01:57:15.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na yung set na

asr-003374
01:57:15.120 --> 01:57:16.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: 20%

asr-003375
01:57:16.100 --> 01:57:17.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Tsaka yung set na

asr-003376
01:57:17.180 --> 01:57:18.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: 10% na lumaki

asr-003377
01:57:18.560 --> 01:57:20.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nagkaroon ng

asr-003378
01:57:20.180 --> 01:57:21.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Direct interventions

asr-003379
01:57:21.020 --> 01:57:21.680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung gobyerno

asr-003380
01:57:21.680 --> 01:57:22.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nang Taiwan

asr-003381
01:57:22.340 --> 01:57:23.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nang Taiwan

asr-003382
01:57:23.620 --> 01:57:24.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So

asr-003383
01:57:24.140 --> 01:57:24.700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So one was

asr-003384
01:57:24.700 --> 01:57:25.980
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Providing the facilities

asr-003385
01:57:25.980 --> 01:57:27.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: We don't really

asr-003386
01:57:27.340 --> 01:57:28.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: We don't really

asr-003387
01:57:28.020 --> 01:57:28.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: House them

asr-003388
01:57:28.580 --> 01:57:29.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or have that

asr-003389
01:57:29.120 --> 01:57:29.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But at least

asr-003390
01:57:29.480 --> 01:57:30.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: May mga TBI tayo

asr-003391
01:57:30.620 --> 01:57:31.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: May mga maker

asr-003392
01:57:31.540 --> 01:57:32.960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Labs

asr-003393
01:57:32.960 --> 01:57:33.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And all of that

asr-003394
01:57:33.560 --> 01:57:34.280
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Maker spaces

asr-003395
01:57:34.280 --> 01:57:37.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And yung market linkage

asr-003396
01:57:37.440 --> 01:57:38.740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And what we saw

asr-003397
01:57:38.740 --> 01:57:39.220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Was that

asr-003398
01:57:39.220 --> 01:57:40.260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And that's why

asr-003399
01:57:40.260 --> 01:57:40.960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: My first questions

asr-003400
01:57:40.960 --> 01:57:42.080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Were about scaling up

asr-003401
01:57:42.080 --> 01:57:43.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So yun po

asr-003402
01:57:43.180 --> 01:57:44.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: We haven't unlocked

asr-003403
01:57:44.440 --> 01:57:45.240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That pa talaga

asr-003404
01:57:45.240 --> 01:57:47.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Whether that scaling up

asr-003405
01:57:47.340 --> 01:57:48.740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Is a market solution

asr-003406
01:57:48.740 --> 01:57:49.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Meaning

asr-003407
01:57:49.160 --> 01:57:50.680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: For example

asr-003408
01:57:50.680 --> 01:57:51.040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Like

asr-003409
01:57:51.040 --> 01:57:52.200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Secretary Lopez

asr-003410
01:57:52.200 --> 01:57:53.220
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Of DTI before

asr-003411
01:57:53.220 --> 01:57:54.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Would have a

asr-003412
01:57:54.100 --> 01:57:55.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Meron siyang

asr-003413
01:57:55.900 --> 01:57:57.300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Area for MSME

asr-003414
01:57:57.300 --> 01:57:58.260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sa mga malls

asr-003415
01:57:58.260 --> 01:57:58.880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Which

asr-003416
01:57:58.880 --> 01:58:00.460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: They did before

asr-003417
01:58:00.460 --> 01:58:00.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: With DTI

asr-003418
01:58:00.920 --> 01:58:01.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung go local nila

asr-003419
01:58:01.800 --> 01:58:02.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Diba

asr-003420
01:58:02.100 --> 01:58:03.060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So it could be

asr-003421
01:58:03.060 --> 01:58:03.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: A market intervention

asr-003422
01:58:03.920 --> 01:58:04.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: It could be a

asr-003423
01:58:04.440 --> 01:58:05.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Partnership intervention

asr-003424
01:58:05.380 --> 01:58:06.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Like in Taiwan

asr-003425
01:58:06.760 --> 01:58:07.320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na you partner

asr-003426
01:58:07.320 --> 01:58:08.040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: With a company

asr-003427
01:58:08.040 --> 01:58:08.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That

asr-003428
01:58:08.900 --> 01:58:10.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sanay sila

asr-003429
01:58:10.380 --> 01:58:10.860

asr-003430
01:58:10.860 --> 01:58:12.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Technologies to market

asr-003431
01:58:12.340 --> 01:58:13.260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So

asr-003432
01:58:13.260 --> 01:58:14.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Maganda yung deal

asr-003433

asr-003435
01:58:16.180 --> 01:58:17.140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: For the scientist

asr-003436
01:58:17.140 --> 01:58:18.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or the inventor

asr-003437
01:58:18.180 --> 01:58:19.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That the government

asr-003438
01:58:19.900 --> 01:58:21.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Provides

asr-003439

01:58:25.800 --> 01:58:26.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi

asr-003445
01:58:26.380 --> 01:58:27.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Tinutulungan sila

asr-003446
01:58:27.580 --> 01:58:28.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: With the proper

asr-003447
01:58:28.360 --> 01:58:29.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: MOU

asr-003448
01:58:29.800 --> 01:58:30.460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: MOA

asr-003449
01:58:30.460 --> 01:58:31.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Contracts

asr-003450
01:58:31.100 --> 01:58:31.540

asr-003451
01:58:31.540 --> 01:58:32.400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So

asr-003452
01:58:32.400 --> 01:58:34.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yun siguro yung isang

asr-003453
01:58:34.560 --> 01:58:35.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Hindi pa natin talaga

asr-003454
01:58:35.800 --> 01:58:36.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Nagagawa

asr-003455
01:58:36.340 --> 01:58:37.200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Which is really

asr-003456
01:58:37.200 --> 01:58:38.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Providing an ecosystem

asr-003457
01:58:38.500 --> 01:58:39.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Where

asr-003458
01:58:39.020 --> 01:58:40.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Our inventors

asr-003459
01:58:40.500 --> 01:58:41.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Feel safe

asr-003460
01:58:41.100 --> 01:58:42.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That their inventions

asr-003461
01:58:42.120 --> 01:58:43.040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Can go to market

asr-003462
01:58:43.040 --> 01:58:44.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Through a managed

asr-003463
01:58:44.020 --> 01:58:44.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Partnership

asr-003464
01:58:44.580 --> 01:58:46.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And to be fair

asr-003465
01:58:46.900 --> 01:58:50.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Very few countries

asr-003466
01:58:50.620 --> 01:58:51.320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Actually are able

asr-003467
01:58:51.320 --> 01:58:52.260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: To provide that service

asr-003468
01:58:52.260 --> 01:58:53.060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: As far as I know

asr-003469
01:58:53.060 --> 01:58:53.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Alam ko

asr-003470
01:58:53.580 --> 01:58:54.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: China can do that

asr-003471
01:58:54.420 --> 01:58:55.260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Taiwan does that

asr-003472
01:58:55.260 --> 01:58:55.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But

asr-003473
01:58:55.480 --> 01:58:57.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Di naman yun pang karaniwan

asr-003474
01:58:57.160 --> 01:58:57.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But

asr-003475
01:58:57.420 --> 01:58:58.840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: If we're able to provide

asr-003476
01:58:58.840 --> 01:58:59.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That service

asr-003477
01:58:59.560 --> 01:59:01.320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Just to be able to link them

asr-003478
01:59:01.320 --> 01:59:02.260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: To partners

asr-003479
01:59:02.260 --> 01:59:03.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: These could be local

asr-003480
01:59:03.500 --> 01:59:04.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Filipino companies

asr-003481
01:59:04.440 --> 01:59:05.140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: For example

asr-003482
01:59:05.140 --> 01:59:07.700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: There was a time

asr-003483
01:59:07.700 --> 01:59:08.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na

asr-003484
01:59:08.120 --> 01:59:10.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Our local

asr-003485
01:59:10.180 --> 01:59:10.920
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Coca-Cola

asr-003486
01:59:10.920 --> 01:59:11.740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Wanted to buy

asr-003487
01:59:11.740 --> 01:59:13.240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: This local iced tea

asr-003488
01:59:13.240 --> 01:59:14.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na gusto nilang

asr-003489
01:59:14.560 --> 01:59:15.300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I go to market

asr-003490
01:59:15.300 --> 01:59:16.660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I don't think

asr-003491
01:59:16.660 --> 01:59:17.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: It really worked out

asr-003492
01:59:17.560 --> 01:59:18.400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: But there was a time

asr-003493
01:59:18.400 --> 01:59:18.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That there was

asr-003494
01:59:18.800 --> 01:59:19.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That openness there

asr-003495
01:59:19.800 --> 01:59:21.460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Or for example

asr-003496
01:59:21.460 --> 01:59:22.080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung mga food

asr-003497
01:59:22.080 --> 01:59:23.400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Manufacturers natin

asr-003498
01:59:23.400 --> 01:59:24.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kung may makita silang

asr-003499
01:59:24.560 --> 01:59:25.820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Magandang technology

asr-003500
01:59:25.820 --> 01:59:26.900
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: From our inventors

asr-003501
01:59:26.900 --> 01:59:27.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Diba

asr-003502
01:59:27.180 --> 01:59:28.040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So we can

asr-003503
01:59:28.040 --> 01:59:29.300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: We can try to provide

asr-003504
01:59:29.300 --> 01:59:30.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: That linkage

asr-003505
01:59:30.020 --> 01:59:31.660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Your TBIs will of course

asr-003506
01:59:31.660 --> 01:59:32.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Be very important

asr-003507
01:59:32.580 --> 01:59:33.720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Pero initially

asr-003508
01:59:33.720 --> 01:59:35.680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: It really might be a

asr-003509
01:59:35.680 --> 01:59:36.740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: A major push

asr-003510
01:59:36.740 --> 01:59:37.260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: From the top

asr-003511
01:59:37.260 --> 01:59:37.720
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Na

asr-003512
01:59:37.720 --> 01:59:39.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Masanay yung mga

asr-003513
01:59:39.500 --> 01:59:40.660

asr-003620
02:01:56.940 --> 02:01:57.780

DOST-TAPI Director Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena: a company that is

asr-003663
02:02:50.520 --> 02:02:51.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Why is it adventure

asr-003664
02:02:51.540 --> 02:02:52.400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: more than venture?

asr-003665
02:02:52.580 --> 02:02:53.680
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Because with startups,

asr-003666

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: sabi niya,

asr-003676
02:03:05.160 --> 02:03:05.840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Viber and Waze

asr-003677
02:03:05.840 --> 02:03:06.420

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: popular

asr-003679
02:03:07.560 --> 02:03:08.660

Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And sabi niya,

asr-003681
02:03:09.600 --> 02:03:11.060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: our startup ecosystem

asr-003682
02:03:11.060 --> 02:03:12.140
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: helped produce

asr-003683
02:03:12.140 --> 02:03:13.960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: these apps.

asr-003684
02:03:14.540 --> 02:03:15.820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, pag sinabi niya,

asr-003685
02:03:16.040 --> 02:03:16.700
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: we produced

02:03:16.700 --> 02:03:18.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Viber and Waze

asr-003687
02:03:18.100 --> 02:03:19.060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: na alam ng lahat,

asr-003688
02:03:19.220 --> 02:03:20.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: alam nating lahat,

asr-003689
02:03:20.820 --> 02:03:21.580

asr-003690
02:03:21.580 --> 02:03:22.480
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: so much credibility

asr-003691
02:03:22.480 --> 02:03:24.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and it will invite

asr-003692
02:03:24.360 --> 02:03:25.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: more support

asr-003693
02:03:25.180 --> 02:03:26.020

asr-003694
02:03:26.500 --> 02:03:27.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So, that's why

asr-003695
02:03:27.380 --> 02:03:28.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I'm always asking,

asr-003696

asr-003699
02:03:32.580 --> 02:03:33.200

asr-003700
02:03:34.040 --> 02:03:35.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: in the past two weeks,

asr-003701

02:03:45.800 --> 02:03:46.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And I hope

asr-003711
02:03:46.360 --> 02:03:47.780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: some of our grantees

asr-003712
02:03:47.780 --> 02:03:48.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: will get to a level

asr-003713
02:03:48.760 --> 02:03:51.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: where they are successful now.

asr-003714
02:03:52.700 --> 02:03:53.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Sometimes ko kasi

asr-003715
02:03:53.340 --> 02:03:53.980
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung mga pitching,

asr-003716
02:03:54.200 --> 02:03:55.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: pinagdaanan ko na rin to,

asr-003717
02:03:55.540 --> 02:03:56.660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I was a social entrepreneur

asr-003718
02:03:56.660 --> 02:03:57.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: for many years.

asr-003719
02:03:57.500 --> 02:03:58.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Yung mga pitching competition,

asr-003720
02:03:59.280 --> 02:04:01.300
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: without the proper

asr-003721
02:04:01.300 --> 02:04:02.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: framework and infrastructure

asr-003722
02:04:02.600 --> 02:04:03.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: after that

asr-003723
02:04:03.380 --> 02:04:04.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the grant is given,

asr-003724
02:04:05.000 --> 02:04:05.760
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: mahihirapan na ne.

asr-003725
02:04:06.140 --> 02:04:07.000
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: The best talaga,

asr-003726
02:04:08.040 --> 02:04:10.040
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: especially if our

asr-003727
02:04:10.040 --> 02:04:11.060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: startups

asr-003728
02:04:11.060 --> 02:04:12.840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: are more on the science-based,

asr-003729
02:04:12.980 --> 02:04:13.840
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: like they don't really

asr-003730
02:04:13.840 --> 02:04:15.260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: intend to put up a business,

asr-003731
02:04:15.420 --> 02:04:16.400
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: they're more into the

asr-003732
02:04:16.400 --> 02:04:17.960
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: invention and to the research,

asr-003733
02:04:18.460 --> 02:04:19.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: is really

asr-003734
02:04:19.180 --> 02:04:20.860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: helping them

asr-003735
02:04:20.860 --> 02:04:22.740
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: with a good contract

asr-003736
02:04:22.740 --> 02:04:24.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: so that another company

asr-003737
02:04:24.100 --> 02:04:25.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: can help scale up

asr-003738
02:04:25.580 --> 02:04:26.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the technology

asr-003739
02:04:26.600 --> 02:04:27.660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: while making sure

asr-003740
02:04:27.660 --> 02:04:28.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: protected sila

asr-003741
02:04:28.420 --> 02:04:29.260
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: at kumikita rin sila.

asr-003742
02:04:29.280 --> 02:04:30.800
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: And that allows them

asr-003743
02:04:30.800 --> 02:04:32.060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: to go to their next version

asr-003744
02:04:32.060 --> 02:04:33.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or to go to their next technology.

asr-003745
02:04:34.220 --> 02:04:34.340
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: So,

asr-003746
02:04:34.780 --> 02:04:35.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I hope we can,

asr-003747
02:04:35.880 --> 02:04:36.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: you know,

asr-003748
02:04:36.340 --> 02:04:37.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ano pa naman po ito?

asr-003749
02:04:37.280 --> 02:04:38.660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: I hope I'll be handling

asr-003750
02:04:38.660 --> 02:04:40.060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: your budget again next year.

asr-003751
02:04:40.460 --> 02:04:41.760
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Close kind of service.

asr-003752
02:04:42.060 --> 02:04:42.320
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Opo.

asr-003753
02:04:42.500 --> 02:04:43.260
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Meron po kami

asr-003754
02:04:43.260 --> 02:04:45.460
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: and magti-takeoff pa lang

asr-003755
02:04:45.460 --> 02:04:47.220
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: but another good thing

asr-003756
02:04:47.220 --> 02:04:47.700
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: is that

asr-003757
02:04:47.700 --> 02:04:49.040
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: we have now

asr-003758
02:04:49.040 --> 02:04:49.740
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: from our

02:04:49.740 --> 02:04:50.860

DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: from 100 MSMEs

asr-003762
02:04:54.820 --> 02:04:56.240
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: being sold by Lazada.

asr-003763
02:04:56.460 --> 02:04:56.720
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Yun.

asr-003764
02:04:57.080 --> 02:04:57.560
DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr.: Commercially.

asr-003765
02:04:57.740 --> 02:04:58.660
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Let's lead with that.

asr-003766
02:04:58.660 --> 02:04:59.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Di ba na?

asr-003767
02:04:59.280 --> 02:05:00.460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: O, nag-top kami.

asr-003768
02:05:00.560 --> 02:05:01.860
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Top 10 kami sa Lazada

asr-003769
02:05:01.860 --> 02:05:03.060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or Shopee

asr-003770
02:05:03.060 --> 02:05:03.780
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or whatever ito.

asr-003771
02:05:03.860 --> 02:05:04.820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Galing ito sa DOST

asr-003772
02:05:04.820 --> 02:05:05.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: yung simula nito.

asr-003773
02:05:05.940 --> 02:05:07.100
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Let's lead with that.

asr-003774
02:05:07.240 --> 02:05:07.440
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kasi,

asr-003775
02:05:08.120 --> 02:05:09.060
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: at the end of the day,

asr-003776
02:05:09.420 --> 02:05:10.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ang hahanapin sa atin

asr-003777
02:05:10.620 --> 02:05:11.500
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: with this budget is

asr-003778
02:05:11.500 --> 02:05:12.080
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ano yung

asr-003779
02:05:12.080 --> 02:05:13.120
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ano yung

asr-003780
02:05:13.120 --> 02:05:14.160
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: ramdam talaga.

asr-003781
02:05:14.440 --> 02:05:14.600
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Di ba?

asr-003782
02:05:14.700 --> 02:05:15.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Whether it's

asr-003783
02:05:15.360 --> 02:05:17.420
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: the product has become ubiquitous

asr-003784
02:05:17.420 --> 02:05:19.320
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or the service has become ubiquitous

asr-003785
02:05:19.320 --> 02:05:21.240
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: or it will eventually

asr-003786
02:05:21.240 --> 02:05:22.360
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: become ubiquitous.

asr-003787
02:05:22.520 --> 02:05:22.620
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Di ba?

asr-003788
02:05:22.700 --> 02:05:23.020
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Kung baga,

asr-003789
02:05:23.100 --> 02:05:24.200
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: our goal should be scale.

asr-003790
02:05:25.060 --> 02:05:26.540
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Because we're a national agency

asr-003791
02:05:26.540 --> 02:05:28.580
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: so our end in mind

asr-003792
02:05:28.580 --> 02:05:28.880
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: should be

asr-003793
02:05:29.280 --> 02:05:30.460
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: what can scale.

asr-003794
02:05:30.620 --> 02:05:32.380
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Now, alam ko may mga research na

asr-003795
02:05:32.380 --> 02:05:34.820
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: maybe it won't scale immediately

asr-003796
02:05:34.820 --> 02:05:35.560
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: and that's fine.

asr-003797
02:05:36.020 --> 02:05:37.180
Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV: Pero with the

asr-003798
