00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:44,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in 2020.

893
00:52:45,420 --> 00:52:47,660
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Under worst case assumptions

894
00:52:47,660 --> 00:52:49,700
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: naman po, given the 2027

895
00:52:49,700 --> 00:52:51,520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: budget, ano naman po kaya

896
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:52,900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ang magiging level nito?

897
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: At paano din po natin ito madidescribe?

898
00:53:09,250 --> 00:53:10,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honors,

899
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:11,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ito pong mga

900
00:53:11,380 --> 00:53:12,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: variables na ito

901
00:53:12,540 --> 00:53:13,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na pinag-assess po

902
00:53:13,660 --> 00:53:15,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng ating Department of Finance

903
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is actually the data that's

904
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: coming from DEP, DEP, coming from

905
00:53:19,340 --> 00:53:21,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: NEDA and from DBM, Mrs. Speaker,

906
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Your Honor. So, ang projected po talaga natin

907
00:53:23,300 --> 00:53:25,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as far as the Department of Finance

908
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is concerned, vis-a-vis the collection

909
00:53:27,380 --> 00:53:29,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of revenue versus that of the

910
00:53:29,540 --> 00:53:31,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: expenditure, I already

911
00:53:31,380 --> 00:53:33,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in the one, in the

912
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ratio that I have already identified

913
00:53:35,740 --> 00:53:37,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to you, Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, which is

914
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 58.6%.

915
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, we expect, Mr. Speaker,

916
00:53:41,620 --> 00:53:43,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we expect the trend downwards

917
00:53:43,660 --> 00:53:45,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: based on the medium-term

918
00:53:45,500 --> 00:53:47,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: fiscal plan as well as

919
00:53:47,740 --> 00:53:53,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: basically, Mr. Speaker,

920
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:55,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the consolidation, the

921
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:56,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: revenue

922
00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:01,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: based on our

923
00:54:01,340 --> 00:54:03,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: projected, Mr. Speaker, because

924
00:54:03,460 --> 00:54:05,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: magkaiba po talaga yung sa national government

925
00:54:05,780 --> 00:54:11,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, I think, Mr. Speaker,

926
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: what we have tried to classify here

927
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is the national government debt

928
00:54:15,620 --> 00:54:17,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as versus the debt-to-GDP ratio.

929
00:54:18,100 --> 00:54:19,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: What I have presented to you earlier,

930
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:21,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, is the ratio

931
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:23,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of debt-to-GDP in

932
00:54:23,460 --> 00:54:25,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 2026 was about 58,

933
00:54:25,220 --> 00:54:27,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 5.48%, no?

934
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:29,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But it also remains

935
00:54:29,720 --> 00:54:31,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to be on track under the medium-term

936
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: fiscal framework

937
00:54:33,720 --> 00:54:35,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: because of the

938
00:54:35,740 --> 00:54:37,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: thing that the DOF is

939
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: trying to come up with because we

940
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: also need to have the fiscal

941
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: consolidation. It needs to be in revenue collection

942
00:54:43,620 --> 00:54:45,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: versus of the expenditure of our national

943
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: government, fiscal management,

944
00:54:48,020 --> 00:54:49,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honors,

945
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:50,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: which is entirely

946
00:54:50,540 --> 00:54:53,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: up to

947
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:55,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: you know,

948
00:54:55,220 --> 00:54:57,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in compliance with the medium-term fiscal

949
00:54:57,300 --> 00:54:59,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: framework plan. So basically

950
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:00,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: what we are projecting here

951
00:55:00,860 --> 00:55:03,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is that all the data that's coming

952
00:55:03,180 --> 00:55:05,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in is also a consolidation

953
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:06,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of data coming from the DEP-DEV,

954
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: EBM, and the NEDA.

955
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:11,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And the BSP,

956
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:12,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honors.

957
00:55:13,060 --> 00:55:15,400
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague,

958
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: at the current rate, we could say,

959
00:55:17,220 --> 00:55:18,780
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: how do we describe it? We could say

960
00:55:18,780 --> 00:55:21,020
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: that it is sustainable, is it

961
00:55:21,020 --> 00:55:23,100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: manageable based on all the data

962
00:55:23,100 --> 00:55:25,140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: and all the strategies that the

963
00:55:25,220 --> 00:55:27,300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: DOF is doing, currently

964
00:55:27,300 --> 00:55:28,560
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: doing, or will

965
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,420
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: strategies that it will be implementing?

966
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:33,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker, because actually

967
00:55:33,380 --> 00:55:35,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the international

968
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker,

969
00:55:37,420 --> 00:55:39,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: because our level, our debt level remains

970
00:55:39,580 --> 00:55:41,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: manageable, no, Mr. Speaker,

971
00:55:41,620 --> 00:55:43,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: because in the year 2025,

972
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the national government debt

973
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as you were asking

974
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: earlier, Mr. Speaker, is at

975
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 63.2%, no,

976
00:55:51,780 --> 00:55:53,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of the GDP, while

977
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:54,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the general government debt,

978
00:55:55,220 --> 00:55:57,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: finished at 56.8% of

979
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: GDP. Ito po'y well below

980
00:56:00,940 --> 00:56:03,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: doon sa 70%

981
00:56:03,540 --> 00:56:05,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na international benchmark

982
00:56:05,500 --> 00:56:07,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: set by the World Bank,

983
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:08,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: no, for their sustainability.

984
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:11,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, we can prudently say,

985
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, that it's still manageable because

986
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:14,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: it is way, way below

987
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:16,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the 70%

988
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: international benchmark set by the

989
00:56:19,380 --> 00:56:21,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: World Bank. And also, Mr. Speaker, Your Honors,

990
00:56:22,140 --> 00:56:22,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: yung ating

991
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pang-debt, no,

992
00:56:25,860 --> 00:56:27,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is mostly incurred from

993
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: domestic, na, ano,

994
00:56:29,500 --> 00:56:31,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: domestic borrowings,

995
00:56:31,980 --> 00:56:33,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: no, as opposed to

996
00:56:33,580 --> 00:56:35,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the international borrowings, kasi

997
00:56:35,020 --> 00:56:37,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: international borrowings is also susceptible

998
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to international shock, currency rates,

999
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: fluctuations. So, it's still

1000
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: manageable, Mr. Speaker, because it's way, way

1001
00:56:43,580 --> 00:56:45,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: below the 70% international

1002
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:46,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: monetary benchmark.

1003
00:56:46,700 --> 00:56:49,460
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor. Considering

1004

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kasing sabihin, diba, na sustainable,

1017
00:57:15,240 --> 00:57:17,260

00:57:17,460 --> 00:57:19,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the debt levels, Mr. Speaker, is

1019
00:57:19,300 --> 00:57:20,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: number one, na-mention ko na nga po,

1020
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:22,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the major source of our borrowing,

1021
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is domestic, no, nasa

1022
00:57:24,500 --> 00:57:27,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 67.3%, no, and

1026
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, it is more manageable, and already

1027
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the government, through the DOF,

1028
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: can already projected what would

1029
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: be the interests that we will

1030

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: loan

1033
00:57:46,300 --> 00:57:48,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sources, no?

1034
00:57:49,260 --> 00:57:50,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And the

1035
00:57:50,300 --> 00:57:52,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: payment scheme, Mr. Speaker,

1036
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:53,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is a long-term

1037
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: payment structure

1038
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang pagbabayad po. So,

1039
00:57:58,820 --> 00:58:00,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in terms of management,

1040
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:02,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in terms of having it sustainable,

1041
00:58:03,140 --> 00:58:04,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: yung ating pagbabayad po,

1042
00:58:05,300 --> 00:58:07,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: not necessarily

1043
00:58:07,060 --> 00:58:08,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: incurring a drastic

1044
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: effect, or effect negatively

1045
00:58:10,940 --> 00:58:13,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa ating katayuan,

1046
00:58:13,860 --> 00:58:14,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we can

1047
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: safely project

1048
00:58:16,700 --> 00:58:18,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that this is sustainable

1049
00:58:18,220 --> 00:58:20,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: because of the fact that only

1050
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we rely on

1051
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:23,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: domestic borrowing.

1052
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:25,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Number two, it is also

1053
00:58:25,780 --> 00:58:28,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that interest is fixed, so we already

1054
00:58:28,180 --> 00:58:29,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: projected the possible payment,

1055
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:31,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and the scheme of payment is long-term.

1056
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Hindi po yung pabilisan na pagbabayad,

00:58:48,420 --> 00:58:49,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, again,

1064
00:58:49,980 --> 00:58:51,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we already partially answered

00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the question, but let me also give

1066

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: you the comprehensive

1067
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: management

1068
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: style and the answer in view

1071
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:05,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as the fiscal consolidation,

1072
00:59:06,140 --> 00:59:08,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: remains firmly on track under

1073
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:09,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the medium-term fiscal framework,

1074
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honors. Again, the debt

1075
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:13,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to GDP ratio has consistently

1076
00:59:13,940 --> 00:59:16,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: dropped from 8.6, natandaan po natin

1077
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:17,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in 2021,

1078
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:19,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: meron po tayong debt to GDP

1079
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: from 8.6,

1080
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: meron, bumaba po siya

1081
00:59:24,260 --> 00:59:26,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in this current year, which is around

1082
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 5.46 percent,

1083
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, and we are still projecting

1084
00:59:30,020 --> 00:59:31,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: it to be lower in the coming

1085
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:32,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: years.

1086
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ang ano po, ang very

1087
00:59:36,260 --> 00:59:38,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we need

1088
00:59:38,460 --> 00:59:39,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: also to emphasize, Mr. Speaker,

1089
00:59:40,060 --> 00:59:41,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that under this current

1090
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:44,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: administration, meron pong strict

1091
00:59:44,020 --> 00:59:46,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: fiscal discipline, ang ini-enforce

1092
00:59:46,500 --> 00:59:47,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: po ng ating Department of Finance,

1093
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: all across agencies, para po

1094
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:51,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ma-prioritize yung kanilang

1095
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:51,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: multa,

1096
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:54,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: yung high multiplier capital investments,

1097
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and that would, again, generate

1098
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: longer-term economic returns.

1099
00:59:58,380 --> 00:59:59,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, again, this is

1100
00:59:59,780 --> 01:00:07,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: prudent fiscal management as to the revenue that we collected versus of that expenditures that the government will be spending.

1101
01:00:07,580 --> 01:00:15,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So that's how the Department of Finance tried to keep track on how to sustain, you know,

1102
01:00:15,820 --> 01:00:26,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: how to sustain in keeping our projected track of lowering down our debt to GDP by the end of this year and over the years that would come.

1103
01:00:26,540 --> 01:00:27,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, your honors.

1104
01:00:27,740 --> 01:00:28,740
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

1105
01:00:28,740 --> 01:00:37,860
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Pagdating po sa deficit natin, maaari po bang tukuyin ninyo ang exact timeline and annual target para sa deficit reduction?

1106
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:46,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, your honors.

1107
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:57,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In 2026, we have, meron talagang ano, there's really that plan to pababain po natin yung debt to deficit.

1108
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:05,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: To GDP, you know, which around this year is 5.4%.

1109
01:01:05,100 --> 01:01:07,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We are projecting it to go lower.

1110
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In next year, it would be 5.1.

1111
01:01:11,940 --> 01:01:18,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And again, over the years, starting from 2028, it will be 4.8.

1112
01:01:19,260 --> 01:01:27,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And then the projected in 2029 will be 4.2, 3.5% by 2023 deficit.

1113
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: To GDP ratio, Mr. Speaker, your honors.

1114
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:44,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So there's really that gradual decline that we are projecting based on the fiscal consolidation plan,

1115
01:01:45,100 --> 01:01:58,130
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: hoping that by 2030, we would have to reach the lower ratio of deficit to GDP, which is about 3.5%, Mr. Speaker.

1116
01:01:58,130 --> 01:01:59,940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po.

1117
01:01:59,940 --> 01:02:05,940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So I suppose ito po ay mga projections and assumptions under good scenario.

1118
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:15,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: These are projections, but they are also based on an actual, well, you also have to balance it out with the actual borrowings

1119
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:23,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and also as well as the expenditures and the possible revenue that we collect from both the taxes and also the non-tax revenue that we also collect.

1120
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:27,100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Halimbawa po, sir, naibigay nyo na distinguished sponsor yung projection,

1121
01:02:27,100 --> 01:02:28,620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na pababa ng pababa, ano?

1122
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,360
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Paano po kaya kung mangyari uli yung nangyari nung makaraang buwan,

1123
01:02:32,460 --> 01:02:35,520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na may mga external shocks na apektohan tayo?

1124
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:37,440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Will this be adversely affected?

1125
01:02:37,780 --> 01:02:39,640
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Your projections will be adversely affected?

1126
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:50,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, again, this is not entirely a decision that the Department of Finance has to make.

1127
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:54,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It also involves other agencies like the DBCC,

1128
01:02:55,220 --> 01:02:56,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as well as,

1129
01:02:57,100 --> 01:03:00,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: DEV, DEV, NEDA, BSP.

1130
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So it's really an interagency assessment.

1131
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:16,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So if there's a need to really readjust policies insofar as responding to unplanned and unpredicted shocks in the international market,

1132
01:03:16,220 --> 01:03:27,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: definitely the DOF will be one among those agencies that will come up with adjusted policy in order to measurably and adequately respond.

1133
01:03:27,100 --> 01:03:29,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to whatever effects to our economy.

1134
01:03:30,060 --> 01:03:35,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Should there be any uncertain or untowards incident that may happen in the coming days?

1135
01:03:35,620 --> 01:03:37,660
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Mr. Sponsor.

1136
01:03:37,940 --> 01:03:41,120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Ito po, ito, siguradong hindi na ito sa DBCC,

1137
01:03:41,340 --> 01:03:45,420
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kontrolado na po ito ng DOF on revenue mobilization.

1138
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:55,980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Ano po kaya ang specific tax measures or administrative reforms na idideliver na what will we use to deliver

1139
01:03:55,980 --> 01:03:59,980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: bulk ng mga ina-assume natin ito?

1140
01:04:00,460 --> 01:04:04,740
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: At paano natin titiyakin na hindi mabibigatan ang ordinaryong manggagawa?

1141
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:10,180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Of course, aside from yung na-ipresenta na po na pagbenta ng assets,

1142
01:04:10,180 --> 01:04:19,300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: may dalawa po yata ang plano, yung pagbenta ng baknotan kalayaan na geothermal and the atrium of Makati properties.

1143
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:25,180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Aside from that, in terms of revenue collections, ano po ang plano ng DOF?

1144
01:04:25,980 --> 01:04:26,980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you.

1145
01:04:32,860 --> 01:04:41,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, there are several items here if the good lady would indulge me in identifying one.

1146
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:50,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: This is actually a progressive tax reform that the Department of Finance would like to propose.

1147
01:04:50,940 --> 01:04:54,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: There's also the increase in personal income tax exemption

1148
01:04:54,340 --> 01:05:00,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: from 250,000 to 350,000 annually.

1149
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:10,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: This will actually help our income, personal income taxpayers up to 17,500

1150
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: with their annual savings, Mr. Speaker.

1151
01:05:13,460 --> 01:05:19,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We do also have exemption for the micro and small enterprises or MSNBs.

1152
01:05:19,980 --> 01:05:24,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We would also like to update.

1153
01:05:25,980 --> 01:05:30,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: On the, or the lifting.

1154
01:05:44,900 --> 01:05:50,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, pardon me if I need to itemize, Mr. Speaker,

1155
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: some of the tax reform packages that we have.

1156
01:05:53,460 --> 01:05:55,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Without going through, what would be?

1157
01:05:55,980 --> 01:06:00,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The direct beneficiary or benefits it will give to our tax payers.

1158
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:04,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I just want to enumerate to you these tax reform packages.

1159
01:06:05,420 --> 01:06:09,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Number one is through the automobiles, e-cigarettes and novel tobacco,

1160
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:13,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: plastics, sweetened beverages, distilled spirits, and vermouth,

1161
01:06:13,660 --> 01:06:20,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: which actually with a total revenue impact of 43.62 billion pesos, Mr. Speaker.

1162
01:06:20,900 --> 01:06:24,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, this would actually give benefit, direct benefit to our tax payers.

1163
01:06:25,180 --> 01:06:26,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honors.

1164
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:36,390
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: But that, would that be enough, Mr. Speaker, to, to cover yung malaki pong kakulangan natin sa revenues?

1165
01:06:36,390 --> 01:06:42,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, the reason why there's a policy to reform our tax packages,

1166
01:06:42,820 --> 01:06:45,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: identifying all those items that I've mentioned, Mr. Speaker,

1167
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:50,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is that based on the trajectory and based on the data that the Department of Finance has,

1168
01:06:51,100 --> 01:06:55,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we are still on good track and on good financial condition, Mr. Speaker.

1169
01:06:55,900 --> 01:07:02,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Even, even if we pursue this reform tax packages, Mr. Speaker, Your Honors.

1170
01:07:02,060 --> 01:07:05,180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor.

1171
01:07:05,780 --> 01:07:10,320
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Naiintindihan po natin ang kalagayan ng DOF, kalagayan ng bansa natin ngayon.

1172
01:07:10,740 --> 01:07:18,880
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Pero hindi nyo rin po kasi maiaalis ang pangamba sa lahat tungkol dito sa tumataas at lumalalang utang ng bansa.

1173
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:25,060
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Pwede po ba tayo na ma-assure ng DOF sa ngayon that the current debt trajectory,

1174
01:07:25,900 --> 01:07:34,440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: will not compromise long-term fiscal sustainability and intergenerational security?

1175
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:34,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes.

1176
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:35,540
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And equity?

1177
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:40,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mrs. Speaker. In fact, one of the reasons why we are mentioning also the benchmark,

1178
01:07:40,740 --> 01:07:49,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the 70% international benchmark, is that we are low, low below the benchmark wherein dapat tayo ay mag-worry.

1179
01:07:49,940 --> 01:07:53,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, kung titignan po natin ang ating gross borrowing rate,

1180
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:55,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: mas malaki po yung mga

1181
01:07:55,900 --> 01:08:02,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Progressive na bansa tulad ng Japan, United States of America, mas mataas po yung kanilang gross borrowing.

1182
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:04,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Bibigyan ko lang po kayo ng data.

1183
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:12,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Based on the debt levels po, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, ng ating bansa, as compared with the other ASEAN countries.

1184
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:21,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In the ASEAN countries, Mr. Speaker, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos,

1185
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:25,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: have projected a much, much bigger debt.

1186
01:08:25,900 --> 01:08:32,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In terms of the 70% baseline benchmark po ng International Monetary Fund.

1187
01:08:33,260 --> 01:08:39,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: To say, for example, that there will be a trouble in terms of fiscal sustainability or debt sustainability.

1188
01:08:39,340 --> 01:08:40,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Sa Pilipinas po, way, way below.

1189
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:47,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, I've mentioned earlier, 56.8% lang po yung ating debt to GDP.

1190
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:54,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And based on the prudent fiscal management that we have, as we have already until today itemized,

1191
01:08:54,740 --> 01:08:55,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: total tax reform packages.

1192
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It would even go lower, no?

1193
01:08:58,620 --> 01:09:02,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It would even go lower in the coming years, no?

1194
01:09:02,900 --> 01:09:07,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We anticipate that in the next year, it will be down to 56.1%.

1195
01:09:07,980 --> 01:09:16,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, basically, if we do reference, use the reference of the International Monetary Rate as our basis

1196
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:23,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to either say that we are now in deep trouble or we are okay or healthy in our financial standing,

1197
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:25,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think the number would not lie.

1198
01:09:25,900 --> 01:09:42,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 56.8% is way, way below the 70% benchmark on the International Monetary Rate na sinasabi po nilang medyo may problema doon.

1199
01:09:43,260 --> 01:09:45,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, medyo mababa po yung ating rate doon.

1200
01:09:46,620 --> 01:09:54,100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, ibig sabihin po, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, wala po dapat ipangamba ang taong bayan.

1201
01:09:54,100 --> 01:09:55,800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Hindi po tayo dapat.

1202
01:09:55,900 --> 01:09:57,360
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Mag-alala sa utang natin.

1203
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:58,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mrs. Speaker.

1204
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:03,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We can confidently say that dapat huwag tayo mangamba dahil unang-una.

1205
01:10:04,060 --> 01:10:06,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, let me reiterate because we're talking about borrowing.

1206
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We're also talking about our gross borrowing.

1207
01:10:09,740 --> 01:10:16,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Sinasabi po natin na hindi po tayo mapagamba kasi very less po yung possibility that we will also be affected

1208
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:25,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: by international shocks or the fluctuating monetary rates kasi ang borrowing pala talaga natin are mostly our gross domestic borrowing,

1209
01:10:25,180 --> 01:10:25,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker.

1210
01:10:25,900 --> 01:10:33,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: At sinasabi po natin, ang ating nagiging baseline is yung 70% po na threshold na binigay po ng World Bank na sinabi po ng World Bank

1211
01:10:33,460 --> 01:10:39,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na para ma-determine whether the sustainable yung debt levels ng ating bansa.

1212
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:42,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, I've already given, Mr. Speaker, your honors, the numbers.

1213
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:45,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, your honors.

1214
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:55,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: That is why with 58.6%, no, ang ating, ang ating, ang ating, ano, debt, no,

1215
01:10:55,900 --> 01:10:58,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: debt to GDP, Mrs. Speaker, ay medyo mababa.

1216
01:10:59,100 --> 01:11:03,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Iyon po yung rason, Mrs. Speaker, na marami pong pumapasok sa atin ng mga investors.

1217
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:07,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We have, because we have a very good investment ratings, no.

1218
01:11:08,060 --> 01:11:16,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, the best rating agencies also come out with that study na among many countries, as I've cited to you,

1219
01:11:16,660 --> 01:11:25,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: just to specifically give you an example, sa ASEAN, we are the lowest, no, ng rate na sinabi po ng,

1220
01:11:25,900 --> 01:11:26,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ating data.

1221
01:11:27,440 --> 01:11:30,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: At the same time, mataas po ang ating credit rating.

1222
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:35,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: That's why many investors do have confidence to put up their money in this country, Mrs. Speaker.

1223
01:11:35,180 --> 01:11:39,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, yes, to give you a short answer, we are confident and we are, we can manage over the years.

1224
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, sa inyong kasagutan.

1225
01:11:44,900 --> 01:11:55,020
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Sa punto po kasing ito, nilalatag natin ang lahat ng mga numero, pero ang akin lang pong isang, maibahagi ko lang po,

1226
01:11:55,900 --> 01:12:01,840
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: sa, hindi po ako ekonomista, gusto ko pong unawain ang kalagayan ng ating bansa,

1227
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:08,500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: isa lang po ang naiintindihan ko sa puntong ito bilang mambabatas at sa experience ko bilang mambabatas,

1228
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:16,380
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: itong mga numero ito, hindi maintindihan kung ang ating, sa pagganap ng ating batas,

1229
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:23,300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: tuwing-tugi tayo magpapasa ng batas, magiging unfunded mandate, kasi walang pera.

1230
01:12:24,020 --> 01:12:25,380
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kapag po tayo ay,

1231
01:12:25,380 --> 01:12:40,240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kaya tuwing budget hearing, magre-request po tayo na taasan ng mga pondo para sa mga programa at proyektong tingin natin ay dapat naman talaga mabigyan ng mataas na pagpupondo.

1232
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:58,500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Katulad po sa human capital development, paano po natin maiintindihan yung mga figures na yan na sinasabing manageable yan, sustainable, kaya hindi po masama ang mangutang, lalo na po kung inuutang natin will redound to the greater benefit of our people.

1233
01:12:58,500 --> 01:13:08,800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Pero ang nakakabahala lang po kasi tuwing-tuwing magbabudget hearing tayo, ang atin pong naririnig lagi, tight fiscal space.

1234
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:17,460
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Hindi ko po alam kung default answer yan or excuse, pero tuwing-tuwi, tight fiscal space.

1235
01:13:18,460 --> 01:13:25,900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Ang tanong ko po, huling katanungan ko na lamang po, paano pa ho ba natin luluwagan ang fiscal space na ito?

1236
01:13:26,180 --> 01:13:34,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, marami pong posibleng kasagutan dyan, pero as far as the Department of Finance is concerned,

1237
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:39,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and its main task really is to source out,

1238
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:51,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: revenue in order that we can finance capital investments, kung ano po yung mga gastusin ng ating bansa, of course, hindi po tayo matatapos sa 30 minutes kung tayo po iisa-isahin.

1239
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:59,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero kaya nga po, meron po tayong prudent fiscal management para nata-target po natin kung ano yung paggagastusan ng ating bawat ehansya.

1240
01:14:00,020 --> 01:14:07,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ay yun po ay binabangga po natin kung ano pong meron tayo as a relative, just to give you a straight answer, pareho tayo, hindi po rin ako ekonomista,

1241
01:14:07,740 --> 01:14:10,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pero ang tinitingnan ko po ay paano yung nagiging...

1242
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nagiging returns itong mga services na ito sa ating mga kababayan.

1243
01:14:14,380 --> 01:14:18,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So definitely, there are, should be, number one, a prudent fiscal planning.

1244
01:14:19,860 --> 01:14:25,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The fiscal management will only expand if there are revenues that we collect,

1245
01:14:26,060 --> 01:14:32,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: not only from the tax revenue collection, but even the non-tax proceeds, the revenues.

1246
01:14:32,380 --> 01:14:39,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So it's how we can actually generate local economy, generate more jobs,

1247
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:50,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and as well as to, you know, to get more revenue in order that we can actually expand the fiscal space.

1248
01:14:50,980 --> 01:14:57,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kasi mag-expand lang po yan kung gaano rin po kalaki yung ating pera.

1249
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:00,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya babalikan ko po kasi I think the question...

1250
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: was premised on pangungutang.

1251
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:04,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya nga po, ang pangungutang hindi naman po talaga siya masama.

1252
01:15:05,580 --> 01:15:09,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya nga, dapat meron coupled with prudent fiscal planning

1253
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kasi yung pangungutang, mas maganda po yan

1254
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:14,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kung nagtitrigger po yan ng economic activity sa baba.

1255
01:15:14,380 --> 01:15:16,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And you agree on me on this, Mr. Speaker, Your Honors.

1256
01:15:17,180 --> 01:15:19,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya nga po, talagang ginagawa po natin

1257
01:15:19,980 --> 01:15:24,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na mapababa din po yung ating debt to GDP,

1258
01:15:24,540 --> 01:15:27,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: deficit to GDP, kasi sa standing po talaga natin

1259
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is sustainable pa po yung ating debt levels

1260
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at saka doon po yung rason kung bakit marami pong pumapasok

1261
01:15:33,480 --> 01:15:36,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa atin ng mga investors at dinadala po nila

1262
01:15:36,140 --> 01:15:38,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang kanilang mga kapital dito sa ating bansa

1263
01:15:38,380 --> 01:15:41,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na nakakapagdagdag din po to revenue

1264
01:15:41,300 --> 01:15:44,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: or possible na pinagkukuhanan po natin

1265
01:15:44,660 --> 01:15:47,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng paggagastusan para po mapalawak po natin

1266
01:15:47,440 --> 01:15:50,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at mapalaki po natin ang ating fiscal space.

1267
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:52,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honors.

1268
01:15:52,460 --> 01:15:55,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So just to give you that answer,

1269
01:15:55,900 --> 01:15:57,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think holistically, it also,

1270
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:00,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: comes different on different levels and different variables.

1271
01:16:01,620 --> 01:16:04,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero sa ngayon po, based on the data, sinasabi po natin,

1272
01:16:05,020 --> 01:16:09,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we anticipate also the growth as far as how the trajectory

1273
01:16:09,220 --> 01:16:13,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of the data of the Department of Finance is concerned

1274
01:16:13,100 --> 01:16:15,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and we hope that it can continue on

1275
01:16:15,260 --> 01:16:18,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: because our number one priority is not just to lower down our debt to GDP

1276
01:16:18,980 --> 01:16:23,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: but also to create more or to spur the local economy in our country

1277
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: so that it can also be translated into more revenue

1278
01:16:26,580 --> 01:16:27,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that the DOF can collect.

1279
01:16:28,420 --> 01:16:30,400
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker,

1280
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:31,900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kagalang-galang na sponsor.

1281
01:16:32,420 --> 01:16:34,440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Siguro po sa puntong ito,

1282
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:37,340
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: hayaan nyo na lamang po akong ipahayag

1283
01:16:37,340 --> 01:16:39,560
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na ako'y kaisa ninyo na umaasa

1284
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:42,260
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na makakamit natin ang lahat na assumptions

1285
01:16:42,260 --> 01:16:44,540
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na inyong inilatag kanina

1286
01:16:44,540 --> 01:16:49,140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: para po pagbalik ninyo sa bulwagang ito

1287
01:16:49,140 --> 01:16:52,380
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: sa susunod na taon, sa susunod na budget hearing

1288
01:16:52,380 --> 01:16:54,700
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ay masasabi nyo na po sa amin

1289
01:16:54,700 --> 01:16:56,720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na nakaluwag-luwag na tayo.

1290
01:16:56,980 --> 01:16:57,740
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat.

1291
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:01,020
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, and to the DOF.

1292
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:02,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, idadagdag ko lang po

1293
01:17:02,980 --> 01:17:06,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para po mapanatag po ang kalooban ng ating mga kasamahan dito

1294
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:08,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: lalong-lalong na po ang good interpellator.

1295
01:17:09,340 --> 01:17:12,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, Mr. Speaker, one indication na okay lang po po yung kating katayuan

1296
01:17:12,820 --> 01:17:19,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: dahil we are actually spending more than compared to our ASEAN neighbors, Mr. Speaker.

1297
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:23,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, may 22% po of our GDP is what we used for expenditure.

1298
01:17:24,300 --> 01:17:26,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We spent so much, Mr. Speaker, and so more.

1299
01:17:26,260 --> 01:17:27,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ibig sabihin, malaki po yung...

1300
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:33,130
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ating pumapasok po sa atin na ating nagagastos. [unclear] Honor.

1301
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:37,020
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you po, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

1302
01:17:37,620 --> 01:17:39,500
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Thank you very much, Majority Leader.

1303
01:17:40,300 --> 01:17:42,860
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: Mr. Speaker, next to interpellate the sponsor,

1304
01:17:43,020 --> 01:17:46,680
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: I move to recognize Representative JCM Abalos

1305
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:48,640
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: of 4P's Party List.

1306
01:17:49,300 --> 01:17:53,340
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: The Honorable JC Abalos is recognized.

1307
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,580
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, sa DOF,

1308
01:17:56,580 --> 01:18:00,940
Rep. JC M. Abalos: pati sa kanyang mga naka-akibat na ahensya, magandang magandang tanghali po.

1309
01:18:01,220 --> 01:18:04,580
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Mr. Speaker, is the Distinguished Sponsor willing to yield to this representation

1310
01:18:04,580 --> 01:18:06,700
Rep. JC M. Abalos: for a very few amount of questions?

1311
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:10,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Nobody says no to Abalos from Mandaluyong, Mr. Speaker.

1312
01:18:10,900 --> 01:18:12,380
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker.

1313
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:17,020
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Sa pagkakataong ito, Mr. Speaker, may mga katanungan lamang po ako

1314
01:18:17,020 --> 01:18:26,180
Rep. JC M. Abalos: tungkol sa RPVARA o ang tinatawag nating Real Property Assessment and Valuation and Assessment Reform Act.

1315
01:18:26,180 --> 01:18:30,440
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Mr. Speaker, Republic Act No. 12001,

1316
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:34,960
Rep. JC M. Abalos: otherwise known as the Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act,

1317
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:41,820
Rep. JC M. Abalos: was enacted to modernize and standardize the country's real property valuation and assessment system,

1318
01:18:42,540 --> 01:18:45,640
Rep. JC M. Abalos: promote transparency, improve tax administration,

1319
01:18:46,220 --> 01:18:50,500
Rep. JC M. Abalos: and strengthen fiscal capacity of local government units.

1320
01:18:51,020 --> 01:18:55,360
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Mr. Speaker, while the objectives of the law remain worthy and necessary,

1321
01:18:56,020 --> 01:19:10,660
Rep. JC M. Abalos: This representation believes that we have the continuing duty to ensure that the implementation remains responsive to prevailing economic realities and does not result in unintended burdens upon the Filipino people.

1322
01:19:10,660 --> 01:19:20,100
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Mr. Speaker, mula noong naisabatas natin ang RPVARA, mula noon hanggang ngayon, nagbago na po ang economic realities na hinaharap ng ating bansa.

1323
01:19:20,100 --> 01:19:28,160
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Noong ito ay naipasa, hindi pa po nangyari ang Middle East oil crisis at hindi pa po ganun kasama ang inflation.

1324
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:47,920
Rep. JC M. Abalos: If I may add po, Mr. Speaker, nag-file po tayo ng House Resolution noong nakaraang July kung saan nananawagan po tayo na panahon na po siguro na reviewhin natin ang RPVARA at aralin po natin kung napapanahon po ba ito or kung kakailanganin siyang suspindihin.

1325
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:49,920
Rep. JC M. Abalos: And, Mr. Speaker, if I may add...

1326
01:19:50,100 --> 01:20:05,360
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Last August, no less than our President, President Bongbong Marcos, sought for temporary suspension of real property valuation implementation to protect businesses and investments.

1327
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:19,040
Rep. JC M. Abalos: If I may quote, Mr. Speaker, ang ating Palace Press Officer, sinabi po ng ating Pangulo noong nakaraang Augusto, nagpanukala si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa dalawang kapulungan ng LEDAC meeting noong August 6, 2026,

1328
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,760
Rep. JC M. Abalos: na pansamantalang pagsuspende ng

1329
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:32,240
Rep. JC M. Abalos: pagpapatupad ng Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act or RPVARA upang maiwasan ang karagdagang mga gastos sa ari-arian para sa mga negosyo,

1330
01:20:32,740 --> 01:20:41,200
Rep. JC M. Abalos: suportahan ang mga pamumuhunan at tiyakin ang isang dahan-dahan at makatwirang transisyon patungo sa bagong valuation system.

1331
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:46,440
Rep. JC M. Abalos: At ito rin po ang naging rekomendasyon ng Private Sector Advisory Council.

1332
01:20:46,860 --> 01:20:49,200
Rep. JC M. Abalos: That being said, Mr. Speaker, gusto ko po malaman...

1333
01:20:50,100 --> 01:20:56,160
Rep. JC M. Abalos: sa DOF, kung ano po ang kanilang posisyon pagdating po sa pagsuspende ng RPVARA.

1334
01:20:56,580 --> 01:21:12,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, ang Department of Finance naman po ay nag-complying with whatever policies and enactment of any laws in relation to any of the taxes, the form of taxes that the Congress would impose or would enact.

1335
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:14,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, isa po rito yung RPVARA.

1336
01:21:14,260 --> 01:21:18,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, ang posisyon po ng Department of Finance dyan ay willing po sila. May defer implementation.

1337
01:21:18,900 --> 01:21:30,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, kung yun po ang ninanais ng legislatura, halimbawa, to extend the suspension or defer the implementation of RPVARA,

1338
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:37,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: then Department of Finance more than willing to implement the extension, Mr. Speaker.

1339
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:47,180
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Mr. Speaker, before I wind up my interpellation for the DOF, para lang po sa appreciation ng ating mga kababayan na nakikinig ngayon,

1340
01:21:47,180 --> 01:21:57,040
Rep. JC M. Abalos: dahil marami pong panawagan na suspendehin yung RPVARA mula po sa mga assessor, mula sa mga stakeholder, at mula rin po sa ating Pangulo.

1341
01:21:57,740 --> 01:22:07,960
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Meron po bang datos ang DOF kung ano ang maaaring economic impact kung sakaling itutuloy po natin ang RPVARA as scheduled?

1342
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:15,960
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Dahil sa aking pag-unawa, Mr. Speaker, kung magkakaroon po tayo ng bagong schedule of market values, maraming buwis po ang pwedeng maapektuhan.

1343
01:22:17,180 --> 01:22:27,160
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Magpabigat sa ating mga kababayan. Isa na po dito ang binabayad nating amilyar, capital gains tax, documentary stamp tax siguro, donor's tax.

1344
01:22:28,060 --> 01:22:36,360
Rep. JC M. Abalos: May epekto rin po ba ito sa cost of housing? Paano po nito aapektuhan ang mga negosyo, ang mga upa, ang presyo ng upa?

1345
01:22:36,740 --> 01:22:46,740
Rep. JC M. Abalos: So maaari po ba, Mr. Speaker, ipaliwanag sa atin ng DOF kung ano po ang posibleng economic impact ng RPVARA if we continue?

1346
01:22:47,180 --> 01:22:47,840
Rep. JC M. Abalos: As scheduled.

1347
01:22:52,300 --> 01:23:05,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, Mr. Speaker, Your Honors. Well, wala hong, there's no, there's no actual and definite data that we can provide, the good gentleman, from Congressman Abalos.

1348
01:23:05,460 --> 01:23:16,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But certainly, Mr. Speaker, kasi ang formulation po nito ng RPVARA is this is a local government revenue, hindi naman po siya national taxes.

1349
01:23:17,180 --> 01:23:21,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Talking about local assessors, you understand also the impact of this on our people.

1350
01:23:21,500 --> 01:23:30,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kasi every local assessors would also, the valuation board would also depend on the income classification of each city and municipality.

1351
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:39,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya nga po ang ating Department of Finance is supporting whatever would be to defer implementation of RPVARA.

1352
01:23:39,460 --> 01:23:47,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So going back to your question, probably mayroon pong slowing down of economic activity.

1353
01:23:47,180 --> 01:23:47,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Probably.

1354
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:56,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But as to, as concrete and tangible answer to that, based on concrete data that we have, wala po sa ngayon ang Department of Finance.

1355
01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:06,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Because again, these are normally resourced out or be collected from the local government revenue, Mr. Speaker.

1356
01:24:06,700 --> 01:24:09,100
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Maraming salamat, Mr. Distinguished Sponsor.

1357
01:24:09,500 --> 01:24:16,720
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Mr. Speaker, for expediency, naniniwala po ako, Mr. Speaker, na hindi naman po basta-basta mananawagan ng ating,

1358
01:24:17,180 --> 01:24:21,040
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Pangulo, na suspendihin yung RPVARA kung wala po tayong pinapagbasihan.

1359
01:24:21,460 --> 01:24:28,900
Rep. JC M. Abalos: So for expediency, Mr. Speaker, at dahil meron rin naman po ako nakahain na House Resolution na nananawagan na reviewhin natin yung RPVARA,

1360
01:24:29,340 --> 01:24:35,640
Rep. JC M. Abalos: baka maaaring mag-furnish na lang po ang DOF sa representasyong ito, kung ano yung maaaring available data,

1361
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:43,280
Rep. JC M. Abalos: kung ano po ang inyong policy recommendations para at least ma-address po natin ang concerns ng ating mga kababayan.

1362
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:44,360
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Yun lamang po, Mr. Speaker.

1363
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:45,160
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Maraming salamat po.

1364
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:46,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We can guarantee.

1365
01:24:47,180 --> 01:24:53,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We can ensure and we can assure the good gentleman, good interpellator.

1366
01:24:53,780 --> 01:25:00,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Magbibigay po kami mga kinakailangan niyo po o ninanais niyo po ang data galing po sa Department of Finance.

1367
01:25:00,420 --> 01:25:01,000
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Maraming salamat.

1368
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:05,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And advance congratulations po and good luck po sa inyong resolution na ipafile.

1369
01:25:06,020 --> 01:25:07,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So supportado po kami dyan.

1370
01:25:07,740 --> 01:25:12,460
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Distinguished Sponsor, and sa DOF, no further questions po. Thank you po.

1371
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:13,780
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Majority Leader.

1372
01:25:14,580 --> 01:25:17,000
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: Mr. Speaker, next to interpellate the sponsor.

1373
01:25:17,180 --> 01:25:24,320
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: I move to recognize Representative Edgar R. Erice of the 2nd District, Caloocan City.

1374
01:25:25,260 --> 01:25:29,860
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Honorable Edgar Erice, you are recognized, sir. Please proceed.

1375
01:25:32,940 --> 01:25:38,680
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, sa ating Majority Leader at ginoong sponsor.

1376
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:40,680
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Good afternoon.

1377
01:25:42,060 --> 01:25:47,060
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang pinakamahalagang tanong sa 2027 National Budget ay hindi lamang,

1378
01:25:47,180 --> 01:25:50,780
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: kung magkano ang nais gastusin ng pamahalaan.

1379
01:25:51,380 --> 01:25:55,860
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang mas mahalagang tanong ay may kakayahan ba talaga tayong likumin

1380
01:25:55,860 --> 01:25:59,920
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ang salaping ipinangakong gagastusin.

1381
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:08,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang target nakita para sa 2027 ay humigit kumulang 5.26 trillion.

1382
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:16,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Halos 399 bilyong mas mataas kaysa sa binagong target para sa 2026.

1383
01:26:17,180 --> 01:26:24,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ngunit, habang itinataas natin ng target, bumabagal ang paglago ng ekonomiya.

1384
01:26:24,180 --> 01:26:26,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Humihina ang pamumuhunan.

1385
01:26:26,180 --> 01:26:36,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: May mga panukalang magbabawas ng umiiral na kita at may mga bagong buwis na maaaring magpaliit naman sa mismong tax base.

1386
01:26:36,180 --> 01:26:40,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kaya, ito po ang aking mga katanungan.

1387
01:26:40,180 --> 01:26:46,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Una, what is the specific basis for the 5.26 trillion revenue target for 2027?

1388
01:26:47,180 --> 01:26:59,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: How much of the increase will come from the economic growth, from inflation, new taxes, improved collection, digitalization, anti-smuggling measures, and one-time revenues?

1389
01:27:04,180 --> 01:27:07,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: May I just be clarified, Mr. Speaker?

1390
01:27:07,180 --> 01:27:15,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Is the good gentleman asking for the breakdown or the basis for the 5.6 trillion?

1391
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:17,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Maybe just a ballpark

1392
01:27:17,180 --> 01:27:19,680
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: figure. On how

1393
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:20,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Okay.

1394
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:27,880
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: did you arrive with the 5.26 trillion target?

1395
01:27:33,180 --> 01:27:34,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

1396
01:27:34,180 --> 01:27:46,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Let me just give you the comprehensive summary of the basis, of the amount that was mentioned by the good interpellator, Congressman Erice.

1397
01:27:46,180 --> 01:27:48,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, the revenue targets are based

1398
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:50,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: on the latest macroeconomic

1399
01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:52,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: variables approved by

1400
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:54,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the DBCC. The

1401
01:27:54,060 --> 01:27:56,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Department of Finance uses a buoyancy or

1402
01:27:56,140 --> 01:27:58,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: elasticity-based model in projecting the

1403
01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:00,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: revenues, Mr. Speaker. And the projected

1404
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:02,380

1446
01:29:22,140 --> 01:29:23,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we assume that

1447
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:25,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the real GDP growth rate

1448
01:29:25,540 --> 01:29:26,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: range is

1449
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:29,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: about 5 to 6 percent.

1450
01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:31,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, in case this will

1451
01:29:31,980 --> 01:29:33,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: not materialize again, because this is

1452
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:36,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: just a projected rate,

1453
01:29:37,100 --> 01:29:38,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: every 1%

1454
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:39,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: percentage point decline

1455
01:29:39,820 --> 01:29:41,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: would definitely

1456
01:29:41,140 --> 01:29:43,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: translate into lowering tax revenue.

1457
01:29:43,540 --> 01:29:45,030
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Every 1%?

1458
01:29:45,350 --> 01:29:46,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pardon? Pardon?

1459
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:47,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Every 1%?

1460
01:29:47,180 --> 01:29:48,690
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Every 1%? How much will be the decrease?

1461
01:29:48,690 --> 01:29:51,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, if the 1% decline,

1462
01:29:51,380 --> 01:29:53,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, will then translate

1463
01:29:53,340 --> 01:29:55,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: into lower tax revenue

1464
01:29:55,120 --> 01:29:57,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: by 38.8 billion pesos.

1465
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:00,000
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: So, how will you

1466
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:01,620
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: compensate?

1467
01:30:02,820 --> 01:30:03,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: For example,

1468
01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:06,380
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: for this year, half of the year

1469
01:30:06,380 --> 01:30:08,240
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: our average

1470
01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:10,480
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: GDP increase is only

1471
01:30:10,480 --> 01:30:12,380
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: 2.6%. So,

1472
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:14,520
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: paano po kung meron po

1473
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:14,940
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ba kayong

1474
01:30:14,940 --> 01:30:18,200
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: sensitivity analysis

1475
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:20,580
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: kung 2% lang, 3%

1476
01:30:20,580 --> 01:30:22,360

Rep. Edgar R. Erice: 2.389 trillion will be the

2094
01:53:30,540 --> 01:53:31,500

01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:33,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

2096
01:53:33,980 --> 01:53:37,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 2.[unclear]?

2097
01:53:37,540 --> 01:53:39,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: 2 trillion.

2098
01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:40,240
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: 389 [unclear].

2099
01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:40,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, that's correct, Mr. Speaker.

2100
01:53:41,460 --> 01:53:42,740
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Will be the domestic borrowing.

2101
01:53:42,780 --> 01:53:44,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, that's correct, Mr. Speaker.

2102
01:53:44,680 --> 01:53:46,840
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: And about 915 billion

2103
01:53:46,840 --> 01:53:48,460
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: will be external borrowing.

2104
01:53:49,180 --> 01:53:50,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yes, po, Mr. Speaker.

2105
01:53:51,820 --> 01:53:52,700
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: And about

2106
01:53:52,700 --> 01:53:55,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: 1.695 trillion

2107
01:53:55,180 --> 01:53:56,440
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: will finance

2108
01:53:56,440 --> 01:53:58,680
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: the fiscal

2109
01:53:58,720 --> 01:53:59,720

2110
01:53:59,720 --> 01:54:00,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, po.

2111
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:02,500
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Therefore, for every

2112
01:54:02,500 --> 01:54:04,940
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: 100 borrowed, roughly

2113
01:54:04,940 --> 01:54:06,620
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: 48 goes to

2114
01:54:06,620 --> 01:54:08,500
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: principal amortization

2115
01:54:08,500 --> 01:54:11,060
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: and refinancing. Tama po?

2116
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:12,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, tama po yun, Mr. Speaker.

2117
01:54:13,920 --> 01:54:14,920
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: So, almost

2118
01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:16,940
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: half of the new borrowing is connected

2119
01:54:16,940 --> 01:54:18,920

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang DOF ay bahagi ng DBCC.

2266
02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:43,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At nabalitaan po natin na mayroong bagong anunsyo ng suspensyon ng excise tax lamang sa LPG at kerosene ang rekomendasyon ng DBCC. Hanggang kailan po ang suspensyon na ito?

2267
02:01:49,880 --> 02:01:59,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, maximum of tatlong buwan pero pwede po ito nari-renew. Depende din po ito sa kalagayan sa merkado ng petrolyo, Mr. Speaker.

2268
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:10,340
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Speaker, nitong Abril din, nagkaroon ng parehong suspensyon sa LPG lamang at kerosene.

2269
02:02:10,340 --> 02:02:27,400
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At sangayon sa batas, dapat within 15 days, nung mula doon sa suspensyon na iyon noong April, nakapagbigay ng ulat ang DBCC sa House of Representatives at sa Senado ng report tungkol sa una,

2270
02:02:27,400 --> 02:02:29,980
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: yung factual basis at policy goals.

2271
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:34,080
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Para doon sa suspensyon at reduction ng excise tax.

2272
02:02:34,360 --> 02:02:45,100
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pangalawa, ano ba yung buong bilang ng estimated foregone revenues, kasama na yung affected social benefits para sa iba't ibang household deciles.

2273
02:02:45,600 --> 02:02:55,320
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kabilang din, ginoong speakers sa dapat nilang maisumite, ano ba yung expected impact sa inflation at fuel prices, cost-benefit analysis,

2274
02:02:55,320 --> 02:02:59,480
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: assessment ng possible market distortions, leakages,

2275
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:06,740
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: unintended consequences na magmumula doon sa suspensyon at reduction ng excise taxes.

2276
02:03:07,160 --> 02:03:12,080
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang ulat ba na ito ay nasumitin na sa House of Representatives at sa Senado?

2277
02:03:13,900 --> 02:03:22,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, meron na pong report na sinumiti ang Department of Finance patungkol po doon sa lahat na concerns na nilatag po ng ating kagalang-galang na interpellator.

2278
02:03:23,680 --> 02:03:26,800
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maari ba tayong makakuha ng kopya ngayon, ginoong speaker?

2279
02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:28,720
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mainam po yan.

2280
02:03:30,000 --> 02:03:39,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, we will furnish po, Mr. Speaker, the study, the assessment report, Mr. Speaker, that we have, that the Department of Finance has gathered.

2281
02:03:39,840 --> 02:03:54,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero ito po, again, ito pong reaction ng ating bansa dito sa hostility na gaganap po sa gitnang silangan na naapektuhan po yung krudo, yung presyo ng krudo.

2282
02:03:54,900 --> 02:03:58,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Hindi lang po ang Department of Finance ang nag-a-assess po nito.

2283
02:03:58,360 --> 02:03:59,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ito po ang interagency.

2284
02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:09,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, in fact, meron po tayong executive order po na diniklara ng ating presidente.

2285
02:04:10,420 --> 02:04:21,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kung yun po yung katanungan ng ating kagalang-galang na interpreter tungkol po sa energy crisis na na-experience po natin sa ngayon, Mr. Speaker, your honor.

2286
02:04:21,780 --> 02:04:28,200
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Speaker, magkano ba yung tinataya natin na pagbaba ng presyo ng LPG at kerosene sa ngayon?

2287
02:04:28,540 --> 02:04:29,980
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Dahil sa ginawang suspensyon?

2288
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:34,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Itong nakaraang araw sa excise taxes sa LPG at kerosene.

2289
02:04:34,960 --> 02:04:37,460
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Magkano yung tinatayang pagbaba ng presyo?

2290
02:04:40,340 --> 02:04:42,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Wait lang po, Mr. Speaker, your honor.

2291
02:04:43,620 --> 02:04:45,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pag-re-refer po tayo sa data, Mr. Speaker.

2292
02:04:46,680 --> 02:04:57,150
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mahalaga ito, ginoong speaker, kasi sa bawat aksyon, yung inaasahan naman ng ating mga kababayan, yung madama at malaman nil agad yung pagbaba ng presyo ng LPG at kerosene.

2293
02:04:57,150 --> 02:05:00,000
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para makita rin natin

2294
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:08,500
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kung ano ba yung pagtugon nito doon sa tunay ng mga panawagan at pangangailangan ngayon ng ating mga kababayan?

2295
02:05:09,620 --> 02:05:15,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, doon po sa, dalawa po kasi yan, Mr. Speaker, di ba, sa suspensyon ng excise tax.

2296
02:05:16,420 --> 02:05:19,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Meron pong 5 pesos per liter sa kerosene.

2297
02:05:21,180 --> 02:05:29,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And then 37 per cylinder para po sa ating liquefied petroleum gas or LPG.

2298
02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:30,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, your honor.

2299
02:05:31,800 --> 02:05:33,120
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa kerosene, Mr. Speaker.

2300
02:05:33,180 --> 02:05:34,430
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: 5 pesos.

2301
02:05:34,430 --> 02:05:35,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 5 pesos per liter.

2302
02:05:36,040 --> 02:05:36,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Per liter.

2303
02:05:37,220 --> 02:05:38,560
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: And then sa LPG ay?

2304
02:05:38,780 --> 02:05:40,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 37 per cylinder.

2305
02:05:40,920 --> 02:05:41,740
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Okay, 37.

2306
02:05:42,420 --> 02:05:54,220
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayon naman, ginawang speaker, kung gagamitin din natin ang parehong kapangyarihan ng pagsususpinde o pagbabawas ng excise tax, sa diesel naman at sa gasoline,

2307
02:05:54,220 --> 02:05:59,980
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: magkano kaya yung tinataya na maaaring pagbaba ng presyo kada litro?

2308
02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:11,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 6 pesos po para po sa diesel per liter, 10 pesos po per liter sa gasolina.

2309
02:06:13,720 --> 02:06:28,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayon, ginawang speaker, bakit po ba hindi nakonsidera yung pagsasama ng diesel at gasoline sa sinuspinde at binabaan sa excise tax bilang pagtugon natin sa matinding krisis na ito?

2310
02:06:28,900 --> 02:06:29,980
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi pa lahat.

2311
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:47,820
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ginawang speaker na lubos na apektado nitong nakaraang buwan sa pagtaas ng presyo ng langis ay nakabangon, lalong-lalo na sa sektor ng transportasyon, sa agrikultura, sa mga magsasaka na ginagamit ang diesel at gasolina para sa kanilang makinarya at traktor,

2312
02:06:47,820 --> 02:06:59,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: sa mga manginisda na nakadepende ang kanilang paglalaot sa presyo din ng krudo, hindi pa yan lahat na bibigyan ng tulong, hindi pa po yan lahat ay naabot ng ayuda.

2313
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:04,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kulang na kulang din yung mga fuel subsidies para maabot ang lahat ng ito.

2314
02:07:04,580 --> 02:07:13,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi pa sila nakakabangon at hindi pa po makatugon sa tindi ng krisis ngayon, lalo na ngayong buwan, ginawang speaker, ginawang sponsor.

2315
02:07:14,660 --> 02:07:19,620
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayong Setiembre pa lang, pumarap tayo sa tatlong magkakasunod na malalaking oil price hike.

2316
02:07:20,120 --> 02:07:29,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At sa katunayan, sa diesel, umabot na po ng nasa 104 pesos kada litro, sa gasolina naman umabot na ng nasa 87 pesos kada litro.

2317
02:07:29,580 --> 02:07:33,700
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi biro ang pagtataas na ito ng presyo.

2318
02:07:33,860 --> 02:07:46,460
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya, bakit ba muli na hindi na naman po sinama yung konsiderasyon ng diesel at gasolina sa pagsususpinde at pagpapababa ng excise taxes sa mga nasabing petroleum products?

2319
02:07:46,780 --> 02:07:53,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, ang targeted po, ang response po ng energy crisis sa ngayon, dapat din po targeted.

2320
02:07:53,340 --> 02:07:58,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ibig sabihin, kung tayo po yung magsususpende ng mga taxes, dapat calibrated po ito.

2321
02:07:58,580 --> 02:08:03,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: At talagang identified po yung dapat natin isuspende.

2322
02:08:03,840 --> 02:08:05,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kasi maapektuhan din po ito ng collection.

2323
02:08:05,860 --> 02:08:11,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Now, ito pong sinasasabi po na, na-mention po ng ating kagalang-galang,

2324
02:08:11,600 --> 02:08:18,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: siyempre kailangan din po natin targeted yung magiging beneficiaries natin ng pagbibigay po tulong,

2325
02:08:18,720 --> 02:08:21,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: according, naaayon po doon sa uplift program.

2326
02:08:21,780 --> 02:08:27,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Na, again, ito po ay dulot ng pagdideklara ng ating presidente,

2327
02:08:27,660 --> 02:08:29,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na under energy crisis tayo.

2328
02:08:29,900 --> 02:08:33,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, may tulong po sa ating mga transportation sector.

2329
02:08:33,300 --> 02:08:38,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Nandiyan po yung mga tupere, yung mga, pati na rin po yung mga studyante, no,

2330
02:08:38,360 --> 02:08:40,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na pupunta sa kanilang mga skwela.

2331
02:08:40,440 --> 02:08:42,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: May mga subsidies po na binibigay.

2332
02:08:43,680 --> 02:08:45,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Fisher folks na mentioned po.

2333
02:08:45,300 --> 02:08:50,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, ibig sabihin, dapat po, meron din po tayong pagpunan na revenue,

2334
02:08:50,960 --> 02:08:56,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na para po masustentuhan itong pangangailangan na assistance sa mga sektor na ito.

2335
02:08:56,660 --> 02:08:57,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, hindi lang.

2336
02:08:57,740 --> 02:09:01,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, transportation sector ang naapektuan po dito.

2337
02:09:01,980 --> 02:09:05,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Even, na-mention nga din po ng ating kagalanggalang na interpolator.

2338
02:09:05,340 --> 02:09:09,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Even ating mga farmers, no, pati na rin po ang ating mga fisher folks.

2339
02:09:10,400 --> 02:09:16,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And even those, ano, also students, no, kasi alam ko po, isa din po yan sa tinitingnan,

2340
02:09:17,440 --> 02:09:22,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kung paano po natin mabigyan ng assistance yung mga studyante, mga kabataan,

2341
02:09:22,980 --> 02:09:27,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na nahihirapan pumunta sa sarili ka ng skwelahan dahil tumataas nga lang po yung gasoline.

2342
02:09:27,660 --> 02:09:32,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, naiintindihan po natin ang concern ng ating kagalanggalang na interpolator.

2343
02:09:33,680 --> 02:09:39,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya nga po, ang sa gobyerno, dapat po calibrated yung ating paggawa ng solusyon

2344
02:09:39,180 --> 02:09:47,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at hindi po talaga siya universally na tatanggalan po natin ng pagpagkukunan ng revenue

2345
02:09:48,300 --> 02:09:55,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na ang magiging problema kung ito pong gagawin natin ay wala na po tayong possible na mapagkunan

2346
02:09:55,740 --> 02:10:05,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para immediately as a response, emergency response, assistance, emergency assistance

2347
02:10:05,760 --> 02:10:12,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa ating mga mamamayan po, no, sa mga sektor po na nabanggit. Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

2348
02:10:12,080 --> 02:10:16,480
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Speaker, ginaong sponsor, sabi niyo meron namang targeted subsidies.

2349
02:10:16,480 --> 02:10:22,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maari ba nating malaman kung ano-ano yung mga targeted subsidies na yan,

2350
02:10:22,920 --> 02:10:24,840
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: gaano ba karami yung mga naabot,

2351
02:10:25,740 --> 02:10:29,600
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: magkano ba yung naibigay sa kanila, kailangan po natin ng buong ulat.

2352
02:10:29,720 --> 02:10:33,440
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kasi nababahala po tayo at tingin po natin, okay lang,

2353
02:10:33,700 --> 02:10:39,440
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: huwag na natin isama yung diesel at gasoline kahit ang taas-taas na ng presyo

2354
02:10:39,440 --> 02:10:44,020
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: dahil meron namang ayuda, meron namang mga subsidiya.

2355
02:10:44,560 --> 02:10:47,460
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngunit, malimbawa na lang po at nais ko po,

2356
02:10:47,780 --> 02:10:54,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ma-present po niyo sana yung buong mga figures para makita natin yung buong larawan ng sitwasyon.

2357
02:10:54,580 --> 02:10:57,520
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero sa bahagi pa lang po ng mga manging isda,

2358
02:10:57,900 --> 02:11:04,300
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: no, ilan lang po yung nabigyan ng ayuda na nasa 2,000 pesos.

2359
02:11:04,640 --> 02:11:08,960
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At sa katunayan, hindi pa po lahat ng mga lugar na nangangailangan ay naaabot niyan.

2360
02:11:09,180 --> 02:11:14,560
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi pa nga nagsimula yung mismong distribution ng mga fuel subsidies sa kanila.

2361
02:11:15,340 --> 02:11:18,060
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa tingin niyo po ba makatarungan na ganito yung nangyayari?

2362
02:11:18,060 --> 02:11:23,300
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Na habang ang mga pinakamahihirap po natin ang mga sektor,

2363
02:11:23,300 --> 02:11:25,220
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: hindi pa naaabot ng mga tulong,

2364
02:11:25,560 --> 02:11:29,020
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: eh hindi natin ginagamit yung kapangyarihan na nga na naigawad.

2365
02:11:29,160 --> 02:11:35,460
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Emergency power, ibig sabihin, hindi po ito yung magpapatumpik-tumpik tayo.

2366
02:11:35,840 --> 02:11:40,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Binigay ito sa atin para gamitin ng mabilis, no, gamitin sa panahon ng emergency.

2367
02:11:41,560 --> 02:11:50,460
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Extraordinaryo po itong kapangyarihan, no, pero para sa panahon na todo po ang epekto sa ating mga pinakamaliliit na mga kababayan.

2368
02:11:50,940 --> 02:11:52,460
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi na nga lang po pinakamahihirap.

2369
02:11:53,300 --> 02:12:00,980
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maski yung middle class natin, struggling middle class, ay nahihirapan na po sa taas ng presyo ng langis.

2370
02:12:01,460 --> 02:12:06,740
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Na alam po ng ating ginuong sponsor na nakaka-apekto rin sa presyo ng pagkain,

2371
02:12:06,740 --> 02:12:11,740
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: sa presyo ng pamasahe, sa kanilang kabuhayan, sa mga maliliit na negosyo.

2372
02:12:12,720 --> 02:12:20,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya po doon po tayo nag-aalala na bakit ba nandyan na yung emergency powers, hindi pa po natin gamitin.

2373
02:12:21,020 --> 02:12:23,040
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nabanggit nyo din po, no, kasi kailangan,

2374
02:12:23,300 --> 02:12:32,780
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ng pamahalaan na patuloy na mang-olekta, no, para may pagkukunan din ng revenues, no, para naman dito sa mga sinasabi nating subsidies.

2375
02:12:33,900 --> 02:12:42,080
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Magkano po ba yung nakolekta sa mas mataas na koleksyon ng VAT?

2376
02:12:42,820 --> 02:12:48,880
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Simula po noong tumaas ang presyo ng langis sa buwan ng Marso, mula po Marso hanggang ngayon.

2377
02:12:48,880 --> 02:12:51,880
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kasi Mr. Speaker, hindi pa po bumabalik sa...

2378
02:12:53,300 --> 02:13:03,000
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Bago po itong US-Israel war on Iran, nasa 55 pesos lang po yung presyo halimbawa ng diesel,

2379
02:13:03,180 --> 02:13:09,260
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: pero hindi naman po yan bumaba ng ganyang parehong level from March to this month.

2380
02:13:10,140 --> 02:13:14,200
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Magkano na po yung total VAT collection from petroleum products?

2381
02:13:14,200 --> 02:13:21,000
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At kung maaari natin mahingi yung breakdown din from diesel, gasoline, at sa iba pang mga petroleum products.

2382
02:13:21,140 --> 02:13:21,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes.

2383
02:13:23,300 --> 02:13:30,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mag-respond kasi rhetorical question po yung naging tanong sa atin ng kagalang-galang na interpellator.

2384
02:13:31,080 --> 02:13:36,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kinais ko lang pong sabihin na kaya nga po ongoing yung assessment sa uplift program interagency

2385
02:13:36,840 --> 02:13:42,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kasi tinukuha po yung mga datos at magkano po at ilan yung mga sektor na nabibigyan na po ng subsidiya.

2386
02:13:42,820 --> 02:13:51,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero ang pinakapangunahing mandato po ng Department of Finance ay maghanap ng revenue kung paano po gastusan.

2387
02:13:52,220 --> 02:13:55,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: itong mga pangangailangan ng ating mga mamamayan.

2388
02:13:55,920 --> 02:14:00,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pagdating naman po sa identification kung magkano, ilan, yung dapat na magiging benepisyo,

2389
02:14:00,700 --> 02:14:09,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: doon po nakasalalay sa pangunahing departamento kung saan sila po yung merong pangunahing mandato para magbigay ng mga ayuda.

2390
02:14:10,180 --> 02:14:13,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Halimbawa, for DSWD, kanilang datos po manggagaling.

2391
02:14:13,840 --> 02:14:22,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So sila po talaga yung nagre-report sa interagency po para po matugunan kung ano pa yung dapat nilang pangangailangan

2392
02:14:22,000 --> 02:14:24,350
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at maibigay sa ating mga kababayan.

2393
02:14:24,350 --> 02:14:29,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero as to the pricing po ng petroleum, alam na po po ng ating kagalanggalang na interpreter,

2394
02:14:30,440 --> 02:14:38,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ay hindi po ito nadidiktahan, may sarili pong buhay ang international petroleum market.

2395
02:14:38,920 --> 02:14:42,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So sa ngayon po, ang ating datos...

2396
02:14:42,300 --> 02:14:43,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ...

2397
02:14:43,580 --> 02:15:00,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So sa ngayon po, dahil nga from March to June...

2398
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:26,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Itong taon na po ito, meron pong collection from, meron pong additional VAT collection na 21 billion pesos starting March to June sa fuel po ito, diesel at saka gasoline.

2399
02:15:26,040 --> 02:15:36,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: At meron po tayong, from total po, from starting March up to September 7, 2026, meron pong 32.6 VAT collection po.

2400
02:15:38,480 --> 02:15:51,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Projected po. Itong 32.6 na billion pesos na additional VAT collection po dito po sa mga pangunahing commodities na na-mention po ng ating kagalang-galang na interpeler ito.

2401
02:15:52,400 --> 02:15:55,500
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat, Kinoong Speaker. Hindi po ba kumita pa po?

2402
02:15:55,500 --> 02:15:59,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang pamahalaan mula doon sa mas mataas na VAT collection?

2403
02:16:00,120 --> 02:16:11,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, yun nga po, at the face value, at the face value, at the face value, tama po pero gumagastos din po kasi kailangan po natin magkaroon kung saan yung pan, saan po natin kukunin itong mga subsidiya.

2404
02:16:12,340 --> 02:16:19,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So dahil tumataas po talaga yung presyo, dapat po, mas maganda rin po na meron tong pagkukunan ng ating pagbibigay na subsidiya.

2405
02:16:19,940 --> 02:16:24,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ito pong 30, ito pong projected na 33.6 billion pesos.

2406
02:16:25,500 --> 02:16:34,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Automatic po ito, yung paggagastusan po ng mga departamento doon po sa subsidiya binibigay po sa sektor.

2407
02:16:34,860 --> 02:16:42,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Hindi lang po, again, hindi lang po transportation sector, pati na rin po ang mga fisher folks, pati na rin po sa agrikultura, ang ating mga farmers.

2408
02:16:42,180 --> 02:16:55,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So talagang naka-identified po dapat yung paglalaanan itong nakukuhan po natin karagdagang VAT collection mula po sa mga petrolyong produkto na na-mention po ng ating kagalang-galang na interpeler.

2409
02:16:55,500 --> 02:17:02,940
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang suliran rin kasi dito, Mr. Speaker, buti sana kung lahat po ng apektado ay nabibigyan.

2410
02:17:02,960 --> 02:17:04,320
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Buti po sana po.

2411
02:17:04,320 --> 02:17:05,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We empathize.

2412
02:17:05,140 --> 02:17:11,400
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Buong nawawala nilang kita sa isang araw ay napupunan.

2413
02:17:11,840 --> 02:17:15,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang problema po natin, hindi naman po ganun yung sitwasyon.

2414
02:17:15,900 --> 02:17:23,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Halimbawa, sa mga nabisita po natin na mga manging isda, magpasa hanggang ngayon po, wala pang natatanggap na fuel subsidy.

2415
02:17:23,900 --> 02:17:34,940
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At yung DA naman po, nung nagsabi sila sa atin, at hindi nga lang pasensya, pero talagang natulak na natin sila dito sa Kongreso na dapat hindi magpatumpik-tumpik.

2416
02:17:35,080 --> 02:17:43,780
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kasi bawat araw na nawawala, nawawala ng kita, nababawasan ng kita yung ating mga magsasakat, mga manging isda.

2417
02:17:43,780 --> 02:17:47,780
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Yan po ay katumbas ng pagkain nila sa pagkainan.

2418
02:17:48,660 --> 02:17:53,780
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi po pareho yung epekto sa kanila sa epekto sa middle

2419
02:17:53,900 --> 02:18:00,560
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: class at sa mas may marangya at mas pasaganang buhay dito sa ating bansa.

2420
02:18:01,480 --> 02:18:08,640
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa katunayan po, sa mga manging isda, sila ay kumukonsumo ng 10 litro ng diesel kada fishing trip.

2421
02:18:08,640 --> 02:18:17,800
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang balita nga po sa atin, maraming nakikiangkas o yung nakikisakay na lang sa bangka ng iba para lang po mas mapalaki nila yung kita.

2422
02:18:18,320 --> 02:18:23,620
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Dati, sila daw po ay kumikita ng nasa 800 to 1,000 pesos per day.

2423
02:18:23,900 --> 02:18:32,280
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero nung naglagpas na po sa 100 pesos ang presyo ng crudo, nasa 200 to 300 pesos na lang po yung kanilang kinikita.

2424
02:18:32,380 --> 02:18:39,220
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: So ganito po katindi yung impact dun sa ating mga pinakamaliliit na sektor.

2425
02:18:39,220 --> 02:18:41,520
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ganon din po sa mga magsasaka.

2426
02:18:41,860 --> 02:18:52,660
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Marami pong nag-iisip na magparenta ng lupa sa mga proyektong halimbawa ng solar na hindi na po talaga gustong magtanim.

2427
02:18:52,780 --> 02:18:55,160
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Dahil nga napakataas ng cost of production.

2428
02:18:55,160 --> 02:19:03,400
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa panahon na hindi lang po langis yung apektado, pati fertilizer ay nakaka-apekto sa ating sektor ng agrikultura.

2429
02:19:04,040 --> 02:19:13,180
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa mga jeepney drivers na kasalukuyan pong nagsasagawa ng transport strike, marami po sa kanila mas pipiliin na lang na hindi bumiyahe.

2430
02:19:13,480 --> 02:19:17,020
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Dahil kapag sila po ay bumiyahe, ay lugi pa sila.

2431
02:19:17,020 --> 02:19:23,700
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: O kaya naman may nakakausap din po tayong mga TNVS drivers na nagsasabi na yung dating 12 hours po nila,

2432
02:19:23,900 --> 02:19:27,280
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: kailangan nilang bumiyahe ng 14 to 15 hours.

2433
02:19:27,600 --> 02:19:31,180
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: As in, wala na po talagang pahinga para lang meron lang kitain.

2434
02:19:31,360 --> 02:19:33,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya ho, nananawagan ho tayo.

2435
02:19:34,200 --> 02:19:41,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Oo, marami po tayong natutulungan sa pamagitan ng mga fuel subsidies, mga targeted assistance sa mga sektor na ito.

2436
02:19:42,000 --> 02:19:48,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero kailangan po natin ang mas malawakan na epekto na ang magsasakripisyo, yung pamahalaan naman,

2437
02:19:48,580 --> 02:19:51,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: hindi yung tao na sobra-sobra ng pagtitiis.

2438
02:19:52,440 --> 02:19:53,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Dahil sa mataas

2439
02:19:53,900 --> 02:19:57,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: na presyo ng diesel, ng gasolina.

2440
02:19:57,860 --> 02:20:06,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa katunayan nga, Mr. Speaker, nung dinedeliberate po natin yung ating panukala tungkol sa pagsususpende

2441
02:20:06,540 --> 02:20:16,280
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: at pagbabawas ng excise taxes sa petroleum products sa pamagitan ng pag-provide ng emergency power sa Pangulo,

2442
02:20:16,280 --> 02:20:19,080
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ang DOF mismo ang nag-ulat.

2443
02:20:20,140 --> 02:20:21,800
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: And I quote from their presentation,

2444
02:20:21,800 --> 02:20:31,820
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: The expected revenue losses from excise tax suspension can also be partially offset by the additional collection from VAT on oil.

2445
02:20:32,540 --> 02:20:46,160
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: So, naka-offset naman po eh, yung maaring mabawas na revenues ng gobyerno mula sa excise taxes ng oil, ng petroleum products.

2446
02:20:46,160 --> 02:20:49,440
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero bakit hindi pa po natin itodo?

2447
02:20:49,840 --> 02:20:51,780
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kumpara temporarily lang naman.

2448
02:20:51,800 --> 02:20:52,500
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Diba?

2449
02:20:53,540 --> 02:21:01,800
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: LPG at kerosene ngayon, pero dapat po sana isama na natin yung pagsususpende rin ng excise taxes sa diesel at gasolina

2450
02:21:02,320 --> 02:21:07,500
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: para mas marami na makinabang, mas marami po tayong matulungan sa panahon ngayon.

2451
02:21:08,320 --> 02:21:13,120
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Yan po, noong matagal ng panawagan ng representasyon na ito at sana kumilos din ang Kongreso,

2452
02:21:13,580 --> 02:21:20,980
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: kinakailangan na natin ng mas mabilis at mas decisive na aksyon para makatulong sa ating mga kababayan ngayon.

2453
02:21:21,800 --> 02:21:30,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, kami po ay nakikiisa sa panawagan ng ating butihing presentante ng Gabriela Partylist.

2454
02:21:30,660 --> 02:21:36,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, naiintindihan po natin na hindi po naging madali ang naging kalagayan ng ating mga kababayan

2455
02:21:36,500 --> 02:21:45,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: simula po nagkaroon ng sigalot sa gitnang silangan na nakapekto po ito sa produkto ng petrolyo sa ating bansa.

2456
02:21:45,880 --> 02:21:51,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya nga po sinasabi po ng Department of Finance, ang pangunahing mandato po ay maghanap po,

2457
02:21:51,800 --> 02:22:03,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: tayo ng gastusin para po mapunduhan natin at mabigyan natin ng karapatang sustento, support, ayuda, subsidies,

2458
02:22:04,260 --> 02:22:07,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang mga naapektuhan po nitong energy crisis na ito.

2459
02:22:07,760 --> 02:22:11,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya nga po dapat para sa amin, para sa Department of Finance,

2460
02:22:11,380 --> 02:22:18,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ay ang datos po kung saan nanggagaling yung servisyo, kung ano yung dapat nabigyan na beneficiaries

2461
02:22:18,520 --> 02:22:21,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as sa mga pangunahing departamento.

2462
02:22:21,800 --> 02:22:26,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kung saan sila po yung may pangunahing mandatong magbigay nitong assistance na ito.

2463
02:22:27,040 --> 02:22:31,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Baga, simpleng explanation lang po, ang Department of Finance,

2464
02:22:32,140 --> 02:22:39,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: maghahanap po yan ng karagdagang kita ng gobyerno para maibigay sa mga departamento nito

2465
02:22:39,380 --> 02:22:49,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at yung mga departamento po ang magbibigay sa mga naapektuhan po ng crisis na ito.

2466
02:22:49,960 --> 02:22:51,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pagdating naman po doon sa panahon,

2467
02:22:51,800 --> 02:22:58,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: panawagan na dapat pa ay may suspend din yung sa diesel, excise tax, at saka sa petroleum.

2468
02:22:59,100 --> 02:23:04,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ito po, again, ito pong Department of Finance, ang kanilang pong mandato ay tingnan

2469
02:23:04,680 --> 02:23:10,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kung paano din po balansihin kasi mahirap naman po tayo ay magbigay ng supporta

2470
02:23:10,440 --> 02:23:14,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na wala naman po tayong paghuhugutan saan kukunin yung supporta na ito.

2471
02:23:14,640 --> 02:23:21,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In very ordinary situation, paano ka naman magbibigay ng isang,

2472
02:23:21,800 --> 02:23:27,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng allowance sa imong anak kung wala ka naman talagang pwedeng pagpunahanan ng pera, diba?

2473
02:23:27,460 --> 02:23:30,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ganon din po sa Department of Finance.

2474
02:23:30,220 --> 02:23:36,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kung completely po na tayo po ay magsususpindi ng mga possible VAT collection po natin,

2475
02:23:36,580 --> 02:23:43,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ay maapektuhan din po yung ibibigay natin ng mga subsidies sa ating naapektuhan na sektor.

2476
02:23:43,880 --> 02:23:46,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, kailangan din po natin balansihin yun.

2477
02:23:47,680 --> 02:23:50,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Opo, kailangan din po natin balansihin yun.

2478
02:23:50,360 --> 02:23:59,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Dahil sa katotohanang, dahil kailangan kulang, ay kailangan meron,

2479
02:23:59,780 --> 02:24:07,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: hindi dapat na kulang, dapat meron po tayong pagbibigyan ng subsidya.

2480
02:24:08,380 --> 02:24:13,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kung yun po ang gusto natin, again, sinabi na po ng ating butihing interpelator,

2481
02:24:13,900 --> 02:24:17,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ay mukhang question na po yan ng Congressional Act,

2482
02:24:17,500 --> 02:24:20,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kasi na-mention din po ng ating kagalang-galang,

2483
02:24:20,360 --> 02:24:23,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: interpelator, pagdating po sa pulisiya.

2484
02:24:23,540 --> 02:24:32,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ang sinasabi lang po ng Department of Finance ay may possible na 10.6 billion pesos na losses na naman po.

2485
02:24:33,000 --> 02:24:40,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Tapos, ang translation naman po ito, ay maapektuhan din po yung revenue o pera

2486
02:24:40,360 --> 02:24:48,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na pwede natin magamitin ng mga departamento para sila po ay magbigay ayuda

2487
02:24:48,040 --> 02:24:49,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: o subsidies.

2488
02:24:50,360 --> 02:24:57,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Or assistance, subsidies sa mga naapektuang sektor, tulad nalimbawa ng DOTR,

2489
02:24:57,840 --> 02:25:02,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: tulad nalimbawa ng Department of Agriculture, tulad nalimbawa ng DSWD.

2490
02:25:03,280 --> 02:25:11,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, kami po ay nakikisimpat siya, naniniwala po sa panawagan ng ating kagalang-galang na interpelator.

2491
02:25:11,160 --> 02:25:14,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, kailangan lang po natin balancing approach.

2492
02:25:14,140 --> 02:25:20,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We have the revenue that we have collected, and this revenue that we have collected will be specifically designed,

2493
02:25:20,360 --> 02:25:23,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: or will be specifically used to target beneficiaries.

2494
02:25:23,860 --> 02:25:29,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Without the ample resources that we generate, there's no possible way that we can actually respond

2495
02:25:29,860 --> 02:25:36,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to the emergency brought about by the crisis in the Middle East, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

2496
02:25:37,360 --> 02:25:42,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Speaker, our distinguished sponsor, nanggaling din dito ang Department of Agriculture.

2497
02:25:42,360 --> 02:25:49,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At nagtanong tayo kung ano ba yung posisyon nila tungkol dito sa pagpapababa ng presyo ng langis,

2498
02:25:49,360 --> 02:25:50,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: lalong-lalo

2499
02:25:50,360 --> 02:25:54,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: na po sa crudo na ginagamit nga sa sektor ng agrikultura.

2500
02:25:54,360 --> 02:25:56,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At malinaw yung kanilang posisyon.

2501
02:25:56,360 --> 02:26:03,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kung sila lang nga lang po ang magdidesisyon, ang posisyon nila hindi lang pagbabasura o pagbabawas,

2502
02:26:03,360 --> 02:26:06,860
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: pansamantala na excise taxes sa petroleum products.

2503
02:26:06,860 --> 02:26:12,860
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang panawagan nga nila, maski po yung VAT sa langis ay dapat masuspindi,

2504
02:26:12,860 --> 02:26:18,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: kung hindi man talagang buong-buong tanggalin dahil sa impact nito sa sektor ng agrikultura.

2505
02:26:18,360 --> 02:26:19,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nabanggit ko ito.

2506
02:26:19,360 --> 02:26:28,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Speaker, kasi sana po kung wala pang efforts, yung DOF magpunta po kaya kayo doon sa linya ng transport strike.

2507
02:26:28,360 --> 02:26:30,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mismo kausapin niyo po yung mga jeepney drivers.

2508
02:26:30,360 --> 02:26:35,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: As in, ibang level po ng kahirapan yung kanilang hinaharap ngayon.

2509
02:26:35,360 --> 02:26:37,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Wala na talagang kita.

2510
02:26:37,360 --> 02:26:39,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Baon pa sa utang.

2511
02:26:39,360 --> 02:26:40,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ganyan po ang kalagayan.

2512
02:26:40,360 --> 02:26:47,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pagdating naman sa mga magsasakat-mangingisda, ganon din po lubog sa utang sa mga microlending.

2513
02:26:47,360 --> 02:26:52,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At kung saan-saan pa po na mga pautang at di pa po makabangon.

2514
02:26:52,360 --> 02:26:58,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayon, ang challenge diyan, ginaong Speaker, wala ding pondo sa 2027 NEP.

2515
02:26:58,360 --> 02:27:03,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Yung mga mahalaga sana ng programa para tulungan makabangon ang mga sektor na ito.

2516
02:27:03,360 --> 02:27:09,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Halimbawa, yung fuel subsidy ng LTFRB, zero for 2027.

2517
02:27:09,360 --> 02:27:16,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Yung Presidential Assistance for Farmers and Fisherfolk na asahan sana natin for production subsidy ng Farmers and Fisherfolk, zero.

2518
02:27:17,360 --> 02:27:20,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Zero din sa 2027 budget.

2519
02:27:20,360 --> 02:27:23,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: So, ano pong aasahan ng mga sektor na ito?

2520
02:27:23,360 --> 02:27:30,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kundi yung decisive action na lang sana nabawasan yung mga pinapasan nilang mga buwis.

2521
02:27:30,360 --> 02:27:32,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Tulad po ng VAT, ng excise taxes.

2522
02:27:32,360 --> 02:27:33,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi naman po sa lahat.

2523
02:27:33,360 --> 02:27:42,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Doon lamang sa ating mga basic necessities and prime commodities na sana nga kung sa price act, masama na ang diesel at gasoline.

2524
02:27:42,360 --> 02:27:45,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya po muli, ang hamon ko po sa DOF.

2525
02:27:45,360 --> 02:27:46,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kasi nagtanong po tayo sa DA.

2526
02:27:46,360 --> 02:27:50,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang stand nila, mabawasan ang presyo ng langis.

2527
02:27:50,360 --> 02:28:02,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang stand din po ng DOE kung magdidesisyon naman na magkaroon ng pagbabawas ng presyo ng langis sa pagsususpindi ng excise taxes, welcome din naman.

2528
02:28:02,360 --> 02:28:07,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero yun nga, ang sinasabi nila, hindi lang naman sila ang nagdidesisyon sa lahat ng ito.

2529
02:28:07,360 --> 02:28:15,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At malaki ang role ng ating economic managers at yung DOF pang specifically yung binabanggit nila na hinihintay nila na rekomendasyon.

2530
02:28:16,360 --> 02:28:18,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pagdating sa mga hakbang na yan.

2531
02:28:18,360 --> 02:28:23,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya po, yun ang hamon natin sa ating economic managers.

2532
02:28:23,360 --> 02:28:29,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kausapin po kaya natin ng diretso yung ating mga sektor na ito na naapekto.

2533
02:28:29,360 --> 02:28:33,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang tanungin po natin, naabot ba kayo ng mga targeted subsidies na ito?

2534
02:28:33,360 --> 02:28:36,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nakaabot ba sa inyo yung fuel subsidies?

2535
02:28:36,360 --> 02:28:40,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nakatulong ba para makatuloy kayo ng laot?

2536
02:28:40,360 --> 02:28:42,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nakatulong ba para makapagtanim kayo muli?

2537
02:28:42,360 --> 02:28:44,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang laki po ng hamon sa ating bayan.

2538
02:28:44,360 --> 02:28:45,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Malaking magagagawa.

2539
02:28:45,360 --> 02:28:50,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Malaking magagawa ng pagsususpindi ng excise taxes sa lahat ng petroleum products.

2540
02:28:50,360 --> 02:28:59,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pag-aaral ng Kongreso para mabasura, mabawasan man lang ang 12% VAT sa pagkain, sa kuryente, sa langis.

2541
02:28:59,360 --> 02:29:09,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At pagtitiyak na sa 2027 na general appropriations natin, maisasama yung production subsidies, fuel subsidies.

2542
02:29:09,360 --> 02:29:14,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Yung mga bagay po na mag-aangat talaga ng sektor ng agrikultura, fisheries.

2543
02:29:14,360 --> 02:29:16,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ng industry.

2544
02:29:16,360 --> 02:29:23,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At hindi lang po tayo nakaasa sa household consumption dahil sa mga patong-patong na mga buwis.

2545
02:29:23,360 --> 02:29:25,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Yan po ang panawagan ng mga kababaihan.

2546
02:29:25,360 --> 02:29:32,360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sana naman po, hindi lang sana, pero dapat lang, umaksyon agad ngayon sa panahon ng krisis.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: there is indeed a shortfall

2919
02:42:46,880 --> 02:42:49,080
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: between the amount that should be

2920
02:42:49,080 --> 02:42:50,900
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: earmarked for health under

2921
02:42:50,900 --> 02:42:52,800
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: existing laws and the amount

2922
02:42:52,800 --> 02:42:54,940
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: actually reflected in the NEP?

2923
02:42:56,860 --> 02:42:58,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: What we can actually give,

2924
02:42:59,140 --> 02:43:00,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as a guarantee, or as a response to your

2925
02:43:00,980 --> 02:43:02,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: question, is that there's really

2926
02:43:02,380 --> 02:43:04,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: a difference, no? There's a difference.

2927
02:43:05,620 --> 02:43:07,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But, yeah, there's a difference

2928
02:43:07,160 --> 02:43:09,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: between collection,

2929
02:43:09,420 --> 02:43:10,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the computed, collected,

2930
02:43:11,020 --> 02:43:13,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and earmarked. Kasi earmarked po ito na

2931
02:43:13,000 --> 02:43:15,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: revenue, right? It should go directly to the PhilHealth.

2932
02:43:15,420 --> 02:43:16,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So there's a difference

2933
02:43:16,980 --> 02:43:18,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: between what is collected as

2934
02:43:18,900 --> 02:43:20,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: earmarked directly to the

2935
02:43:20,660 --> 02:43:22,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: PhilHealth versus

2936
02:43:22,940 --> 02:43:24,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: what is being appropriated.

2937
02:43:24,560 --> 02:43:26,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So it's not really a shortfall

2938
02:43:26,540 --> 02:43:28,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in a sense that there's a difference.

2939
02:43:29,140 --> 02:43:30,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In terms of

2940
02:43:30,680 --> 02:43:32,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the amount collected

2941
02:43:32,520 --> 02:43:35,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and the amount that is

2942
02:43:35,160 --> 02:43:36,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: supposed to go through

2943
02:43:36,360 --> 02:43:38,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the PhilHealth,

2944
02:43:39,000 --> 02:43:41,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as appropriated

2945
02:43:41,220 --> 02:43:42,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: by DBM, Mrs. Speaker.

2946
02:43:43,220 --> 02:43:45,020
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Siguro, kailangan po ninyong

2947
02:43:45,020 --> 02:43:47,020
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: mag-usap pati ng DBM, kasi

2948
02:43:47,020 --> 02:43:48,980
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ang DBM po, inadmit na

2949
02:43:48,980 --> 02:43:50,600
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: indeed may shortfall po.

2950
02:43:51,260 --> 02:43:52,720
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: So kailangan mag-usap po kayo.

2951
02:43:53,500 --> 02:43:55,300
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: At sa computations din po

2952
02:43:55,300 --> 02:43:57,260
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: namin, indeed may shortfall po.

2953
02:43:57,260 --> 02:43:58,840
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Next question.

2954
02:43:59,140 --> 02:44:00,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Just to be clarified, Mrs. Speaker,

2955
02:44:00,860 --> 02:44:02,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: just a response to that, Mrs. Speaker. I think

2956
02:44:02,600 --> 02:44:05,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: DBM, on the basis of their mandate

2957
02:44:05,080 --> 02:44:06,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to allocate fundings,

2958
02:44:06,980 --> 02:44:09,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: maybe they have that

2959
02:44:09,120 --> 02:44:11,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: assessment as to

2960
02:44:11,160 --> 02:44:13,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: determining whether there's a shortfall or not.

2961
02:44:13,580 --> 02:44:15,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The DOF primary

2962
02:44:15,040 --> 02:44:16,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: consideration is how to

2963
02:44:16,540 --> 02:44:18,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: generate revenue

2964
02:44:18,980 --> 02:44:20,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: from the taxes that we collect

2965
02:44:20,660 --> 02:44:22,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and then the terminology that

2966
02:44:22,980 --> 02:44:25,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we use, the DOF use,

2967
02:44:25,120 --> 02:44:26,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is differences and not on

2968
02:44:26,720 --> 02:44:28,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the technical implication

2969
02:44:28,660 --> 02:44:30,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of designing it or

2970
02:44:30,040 --> 02:44:32,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: describing it as a windfall.

2971
02:44:32,440 --> 02:44:34,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Because the DBM po yung na terminology, Mrs. Speaker.

2972
02:44:34,480 --> 02:44:36,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Just for a clarification and to put

2973
02:44:36,860 --> 02:44:37,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that on record, Mrs. Speaker.

2974
02:44:37,880 --> 02:44:40,660
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, naintindihan ko po

2975
02:44:40,660 --> 02:44:42,400
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: yung naging sagot

2976
02:44:42,400 --> 02:44:44,740
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: or yung naging explanation po

2977
02:44:44,740 --> 02:44:46,620
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ng ating distinguished sponsor.

2978
02:44:47,740 --> 02:44:48,300
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: However,

2979
02:44:48,900 --> 02:44:50,520
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: mukhang meron nga po talagang

2980
02:44:50,520 --> 02:44:52,340
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: hindi pagkakaintindihan dito

2981
02:44:52,340 --> 02:44:54,440
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: between the DOF and the DBM.

2982
02:44:54,660 --> 02:44:56,800
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Kasi si DBM, inadmit na nila

2983
02:44:56,800 --> 02:44:58,480
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: na ang certification,

2984
02:44:58,660 --> 02:44:59,740
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: po, ay nag-fail.

2985
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:15,640
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Dahil din po sa DOF. At inadmit din po ng DBM na indeed may shortfall pero dito po sa DOF, hindi po nila ina-admit pero sinasabi ng DBM na ang DOF din po ang tinuturo nila.

2986
02:45:16,660 --> 02:45:22,160
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: But anyway, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, kukunin ko na lang po yung mga data na need ko.

2987
02:45:22,160 --> 02:45:31,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Allow me first, with all due respect, allow me just to clarify lang po. Mr. Speaker, we understand also where the good lady from Akbayan is coming from.

2988
02:45:31,940 --> 02:45:45,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But the only participation, again, aside from collecting the sin taxes, earmark revenue for PhilHealth, the participation of DOF is to certify that there has been a collection from sin taxes.

2989
02:45:45,400 --> 02:45:47,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We certify that to DBM.

2990
02:45:52,160 --> 02:45:59,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ito silang concrete na amount kung saan nila po paglalagyan sa PhilHealth. So, yun lang po yung participation just to clear that up, Mr. Speaker.

2991
02:45:59,340 --> 02:46:10,720
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat po. Base po ba sa certifications noong 2023 onwards, magkano po per year ang collections kung meron man po?

2992
02:46:11,860 --> 02:46:14,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Let me again refer to the data, Mr. Speaker.

2993
02:46:14,040 --> 02:46:14,280
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Yes, ma'am.

2994
02:46:20,740 --> 02:46:22,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, sin taxes po.

2995
02:46:22,160 --> 02:46:27,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, composed of tobacco, alcohol, e-cigarettes, sweetened beverages.

2996
02:46:28,080 --> 02:46:29,240
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: As a whole na lang po.

2997
02:46:29,240 --> 02:46:49,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: As a whole, yes. In 2023, 289.34 billion pesos. In 2024, 295.65 billion pesos. And in 2025 is 317.97 billion pesos. We will furnish a copy to the lady from Akbayan, Mr. Speaker, later on.

2998
02:46:50,740 --> 02:46:52,140
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sige po. Maraming salamat.

2999
02:46:52,160 --> 02:47:04,960
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Based on the relevant sin tax laws naman po, and other laws on earmarking, magkano dapat po doon ang allocated for universal healthcare and PhilHealth?

3000
02:47:04,960 --> 02:47:05,960
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Thank you.

3001
02:47:22,160 --> 02:47:44,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The total, starting from 2023, it's 83.90 billion pesos. And in 2024, 79.1 billion pesos. In 2025, it's 69.81 billion pesos. And this year, it's 69.78 billion pesos, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

3002
02:47:44,160 --> 02:47:46,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: That's for PhilHealth, earmarked revenue.

3003
02:47:46,680 --> 02:47:47,400
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Salamat po.

3004
02:47:47,400 --> 02:47:52,000
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Based sa mga nakaraang GAA, magkano ang amounts na appropriated?

3005
02:47:52,160 --> 02:47:59,280
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: For universal healthcare at PhilHealth. Let's say 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 po.

3006
02:47:59,280 --> 02:48:21,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Sa universal healthcare ng 2023, meron pong 55.10 billion pesos. Sa 2024 po, meron pong 64.30 billion pesos. Sa 2025, 68.90 billion pesos. At sa kasalukuyang taon po, may 72.72.

3007
02:48:22,160 --> 02:48:32,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Billion pesos po, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor. Pwede rin po namin bigyan ang kagalang-galang na interpellator ng sumatutal nitong na-mention ng mga amounts po mamaya po, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

3008
02:48:32,640 --> 02:48:38,140
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sige po. Paseparate na lang po yung sa universal healthcare at yung sa PhilHealth po.

3009
02:48:38,140 --> 02:48:39,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We will do that, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

3010
02:48:39,280 --> 02:48:49,440
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Salamat po. Ngayong 2027 naman po, magkano dapat ang earmark at magkano ang provisions na nasa NEP para sa UHC at sa PhilHealth?

3011
02:48:49,440 --> 02:49:10,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, under the proposed NEP 2027, the projected collection from Sin tax for PhilHealth is 75.23 billion pesos. For the UHC, it's 77.94 billion pesos, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

3012
02:49:11,800 --> 02:49:19,420
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Salamat po. Kung may shortfall between the amount required to be earmarked under the law and the amount actuated,

3013
02:49:19,440 --> 02:49:31,040
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: actual reflected in the NEP, can the DOF provide the exact amount of the shortfall for each fiscal year from 2022 to 2026 po?

3014
02:49:34,660 --> 02:49:47,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, we will submit po the amount, the certification. If there's a difference, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor, from the actual collection and the one that is being projected in the NEP,

3015
02:49:47,240 --> 02:49:49,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we will, the DOF will have to sit down.

3016
02:49:49,440 --> 02:50:00,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We will sit down with DBM, again, to get the NEP funds, Mrs. Speaker, so that we can provide you the accurate amount, Mrs. Speaker, and figures, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

3017
02:50:00,920 --> 02:50:02,180
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sige po. Maraming salamat.

3018
02:50:02,920 --> 02:50:13,100
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Kung hindi lahat ng Sin tax collections ay na-account for sa certification, sa mga certifications, dahil mayroon ngang kakulangan or shortfall,

3019
02:50:13,100 --> 02:50:19,100
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: can the DOF clarify how the portion of the Sin tax collections corresponding to this shortfall?

3020
02:50:19,440 --> 02:50:25,780
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Is accounted for in the National Government's book? At saan napupunta ang amount na ito?

3021
02:50:26,320 --> 02:50:32,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, again, there are earmarked revenue, which I believe the good lady is already familiar with.

3022
02:50:33,060 --> 02:50:40,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So far as Sin tax is concerned, it automatically goes to a specific agency, like for example, PhilHealth.

3023
02:50:40,640 --> 02:50:46,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, and also...

3024
02:50:49,440 --> 02:51:14,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, in the process, Mrs. Speaker, of appropriating, again, it goes straight to the DBM for the allocation of the specific earmarked revenue, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

3025
02:51:14,600 --> 02:51:19,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And from the part of the DOF, it's just a certification that we actually submit to the DBM.

3026
02:51:19,440 --> 02:51:27,000
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Okay po, re-respetuhin ko po yung sagot nila. Pero may idea po kaya ang DOF, saan napupunta yung sobra na hindi nai-earmark?

3027
02:51:28,100 --> 02:51:37,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, kung mayroon pong, let's say, this is not the position of the DOF, but I think in the understanding of how the bureaucracy works, Mrs. Speaker,

3028
02:51:37,240 --> 02:51:43,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: if they are savings, then it goes straight to the Bureau of Treasury, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

3029
02:51:49,440 --> 02:52:10,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, again, it's really the DBM, Mrs. Speaker, that has the primary mandate kung paano po nila ma-determine kung magkano yung unused, for example, na pondo, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

3030
02:52:10,560 --> 02:52:18,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, that also goes to the question of, I think, utilization rate, no? Kung yun po yung gustong itanong ng ating kabutihing...

3031
02:52:19,440 --> 02:52:33,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But it's the agency, really, and since it is an allocation of funding, DBM po talaga ang may-may alam kung saan napupunta yung mga unused na pondo at di nagagamit na pondo, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

3032
02:52:33,220 --> 02:52:49,220
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sige po, hindi ko na po didiinan ito. Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, to fully appreciate the extent of this shortfall, on September 22, 2026, yung office ko po ay nag-request po ng mga following certifications.

3033
02:52:49,440 --> 02:52:54,560
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Certificates and documents sa DOF. However, hindi po namin ito natanggap hanggang ngayon.

3034
02:52:55,260 --> 02:53:04,560
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: First po, copies of the certification of sin tax collections for 2022 to 2026. Nag-agree na po tayo kanina, nabibigyan niyo po kami ng kopya.

3035
02:53:05,160 --> 02:53:11,580
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Second, latest certification use as the basis for the 2027 PhilHealth funding.

3036
02:53:12,200 --> 02:53:18,580
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Pangatlo, yung year-by-year computation of the shortfall showing the total sin tax collection.

3037
02:53:19,440 --> 02:53:29,580
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Subject to earmarking, the amount required under the law, and the amount certified by the DOF, and the amount ultimately reflected in the NEP.

3038
02:53:30,140 --> 02:53:31,760
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Tatlo lamang po yung hinihingi ko.

3039
02:53:32,760 --> 02:53:38,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We will forward the good lady from Akbayan these copies, Mrs. Speaker, she requested, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

3040
02:53:39,040 --> 02:53:40,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Maraming salamat po.

3041
02:53:40,140 --> 02:53:46,320
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mr. Speaker, given na nangyayari na po ang mga shortfall over several fiscal years,

3042
02:53:46,740 --> 02:53:49,140
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: can the DOF clarify if there are...

3043
02:53:49,440 --> 02:53:55,120
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Are there concrete steps na ginagawa to rectify the shortfall and address this issue po?

3044
02:53:57,640 --> 02:54:01,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It's really, Mrs. Speaker, again, apologies to the good lady.

3045
02:54:02,840 --> 02:54:11,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It's really the DBM, the only participation of DOF is to certify that this amount has been collected from the sin taxes, Mrs. Speaker.

3046
02:54:11,680 --> 02:54:17,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So it's really the DBM that identifies if there are differences in fact, no?

3047
02:54:17,740 --> 02:54:18,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Or as what the good lady...

3048
02:54:19,440 --> 02:54:22,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: labeled it according to the DBM's terminology.

3049
02:54:22,800 --> 02:54:23,400
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sige po.

3050
02:54:23,400 --> 02:54:30,600
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: In the documents we received from DBM noong 2026, may kulang na 16 billion sa PhilHealth budget,

3051
02:54:31,100 --> 02:54:33,080
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: basing on the sin tax collections.

3052
02:54:33,960 --> 02:54:36,280
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: This has been the trend since 2021.

3053
02:54:37,120 --> 02:54:39,540
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Bakit hindi po ito nakokorek hanggang ngayon?

3054
02:54:41,640 --> 02:54:42,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes.

3055
02:54:43,420 --> 02:54:49,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It's still, if it's really part of the NEP, Mrs. Speaker, it's really the DBM that allocates for this funding, Mrs.

3056
02:54:49,440 --> 02:54:50,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Speaker, Your Honor.

3057
02:54:50,120 --> 02:54:50,840
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sige po.

3058
02:54:51,040 --> 02:54:51,560
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: DBM.

3059
02:54:52,440 --> 02:55:00,280
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Kung ang problema ay ang timing between the period na hinahanda ang NEP at ang pag-issue ng certificate since 2021,

3060
02:55:01,080 --> 02:55:08,280
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: walang nakaisip na i-issue ang certification at ang appropriate time na maisama sa budget preparation stage?

3061
02:55:09,800 --> 02:55:12,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It's we submit, Mrs. Speaker, the certification.

3062
02:55:12,060 --> 02:55:19,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, it's the DBM that really allocates funding for each different agencies, including those of earmarked revenue, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

3063
02:55:20,120 --> 02:55:36,740
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Finally, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, will the DOF support appropriate congressional action to ensure that the amounts required by the law to be earmarked for health are fully recognized and provided for in the national budget?

3064
02:55:37,320 --> 02:55:42,920
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: And if so, what mechanisms does the DOF recommend to address the identified gaps?

3065
02:55:43,480 --> 02:55:48,460
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Naintindihan ko na po na laging kay DBM, kay DBM, kay DBM.

3066
02:55:48,640 --> 02:55:48,920
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Pero, ano?

3067
02:55:49,440 --> 02:55:53,840
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ano po kaya ang mga measures or mechanisms na pwedeng gawin din po ng DOF?

3068
02:55:54,220 --> 02:55:56,260
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Gayon, ganito nga po ang mga nangyayari.

3069
02:55:56,600 --> 02:55:58,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We will definitely coordinate.

3070
02:55:58,660 --> 02:56:01,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The DOF has been coordinating with the DBM.

3071
02:56:01,500 --> 02:56:07,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But as far as mandate is concerned, we also respect the mandate of each of these agencies.

3072
02:56:07,060 --> 02:56:12,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Our, the DOF's main mandate is really to generate income by virtue of collecting taxes.

3073
02:56:13,460 --> 02:56:19,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: When we collect taxes, Mrs. Speaker, we simply certify these amounts to DBM for them to realize that,

3074
02:56:19,400 --> 02:56:20,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: there's already that collected amount.

3075
02:56:21,240 --> 02:56:30,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And the DBM really the one adjusting and deciding on the specific allocations as per requested by per agencies, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

3076
02:56:31,100 --> 02:56:40,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, yes, we really comply and we really do stand on the position that if there's a policy, especially if it's under the law,

3077
02:56:41,080 --> 02:56:47,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that the prioritization of certain earmark revenue should go directly to a specific revenue in the case of ill health.

3078
02:56:47,880 --> 02:56:48,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We definitely.

3079
02:56:49,400 --> 02:56:51,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We definitely support that, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

3080
02:56:52,900 --> 02:56:55,360
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Huling katanungan na lamang po, ulitin ko lang.

3081
02:56:55,940 --> 02:57:09,320
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Can the DOF also support appropriate congressional action to ensure na yung mga amounts required po ng law natin para doon sa mga i-earmark for health are fully recognized and provided for in the national budget?

3082
02:57:09,320 --> 02:57:18,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The Department of Finance definitely respect the power of the Congress to exercise its oversight function, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

3083
02:57:18,540 --> 02:57:20,020
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat po.

3084
02:57:20,460 --> 02:57:31,140
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, in closing, hindi natin pwedeng baliwalain ang matinding epekto ng funding gap sa buhay ng ating mga kababayan.

3085
02:57:31,700 --> 02:57:37,580
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Habang buwan-buwan at walang mintis ang pagkakaltas ng PhilHealth sa sahod ng ating mga manggagawa,

3086
02:57:38,180 --> 02:57:47,000
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: lubhang katiting ang naipapaabot ng tulong ng gobyerno kapag sila ay nagkakasakit at nangangailangan ng pagkalinga.

3087
02:57:47,040 --> 02:57:48,000
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Isang

3088
02:57:48,540 --> 02:58:02,160
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: napakabigat na kapabayaan ng Department of Finance at ng DBCC na hindi masiguro ang tamang paglaan ng sin-tax revenues para sa universal health care ayon sa itinakda ng batas.

3089
02:58:02,400 --> 02:58:18,260
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Dahil sa kapabayaang ito, ang ating mga cancer patients at dialysis patients at iba pang may sakit na nawawalan na nga ng lakas na magtrabaho ay napipilitan pang manglimos, mangutang, at lumapit sa kung sino-sinong opisyal.

3090
02:58:18,540 --> 02:58:21,840
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: para lang makumpleto ang pambayad sa hospital bills.

3091
02:58:22,400 --> 02:58:25,840
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Buhay at kaligtasan ng mamamayan ang nakataya rito,

3092
02:58:26,360 --> 02:58:31,560
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: kaya marapat lamang na itama ang pondong ito upang mabigyan ng buo

3093
02:58:31,560 --> 02:58:37,200
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: at naayon sa batas ang perang nakalaan para sa kalusugan ng bawat Pilipino.

3094
02:58:37,740 --> 02:58:41,900
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mr. Speaker, I will, in the proper time, propose budget amendments

3095
02:58:41,900 --> 02:58:47,960
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: so that the shortfall for the earmarks be fully recognized and provided in the national budget.

3096
02:58:47,960 --> 02:58:49,200
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat po.

3097
02:58:49,600 --> 02:58:50,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Maraming salamat din po.

3098
02:58:51,420 --> 02:58:54,700
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Thank you very much, Representative Ismula, Majority Leader.

3099
02:58:55,120 --> 02:58:57,380
Rep. De Carlo L. Uy: Mr. Speaker, next to interpolate the sponsor,

3100
02:58:57,800 --> 02:59:02,240
Rep. De Carlo L. Uy: I move to recognize Representative Robert Nazal of Partylist BH.

3101
02:59:03,500 --> 02:59:07,800
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: The gentleman from BH Partylist, Ms. Congressman Robert Nazal, is recognized.

3102
02:59:08,280 --> 02:59:10,340
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Sir, you have the floor and you may proceed.

3103
02:59:17,960 --> 02:59:26,420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker.

3104
02:59:27,420 --> 02:59:30,680
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Good afternoon to our distinguished sponsor and good afternoon to the DOF.

3105
02:59:32,200 --> 02:59:40,540
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker, through you, may I ask our distinguished colleague to confirm with the Secretary of Finance,

3106
02:59:41,500 --> 02:59:46,680
Rep. Roberto Nazal: is DOF aware that Section 11 of Republic Act No. 7722,

3107
02:59:46,680 --> 02:59:54,240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: expressly provides that the Commission shall appoint a reputable government financial institution

3108
02:59:54,240 --> 02:59:57,120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: as portfolio manager of the Fund.

3109
02:59:57,740 --> 02:59:59,840
Rep. Roberto Nazal: This is with regards to the HEDF.

3110
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:17,120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yet, Executive Order No. 338, Series of 1996, which directs the transfer of public money to the Treasury, has been cited as the basis for the present arrangement.

3111
03:00:18,040 --> 03:00:26,280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: How does that arrangement comply with the laws requirement for a government financial institution to manage the HEDF portfolio?

3112
03:00:26,280 --> 03:00:36,060
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker, let us state for the record, an Executive Order cannot amend or supersede an Act of Congress.

3113
03:00:37,300 --> 03:00:44,940
Rep. Roberto Nazal: E.O. 338 cannot be invoked to disregard Section 11 of Republic Act 7722.

3114
03:00:46,260 --> 03:00:52,360
Rep. Roberto Nazal: If the required portfolio management arrangement has been displaced, that is non-compliance with the law.

3115
03:00:53,860 --> 03:00:55,180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, ang tanong ko po,

3116
03:00:55,180 --> 03:00:59,480
Rep. Roberto Nazal: now that this requirement has been brought squarely to DOF's attention,

3117
03:01:00,620 --> 03:01:04,720
Rep. Roberto Nazal: what corrective action will it take together with CHED and DBM,

3118
03:01:05,640 --> 03:01:08,700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: and what date will compliance to the law be ensured?

3119
03:01:10,640 --> 03:01:16,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, again, apologies if this is just brought out in the open.

3120
03:01:17,020 --> 03:01:21,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think the Department of Finance was trying to look at it, this particular law,

3121
03:01:21,880 --> 03:01:25,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: with specific provision cited by the Good.

3122
03:01:25,180 --> 03:01:27,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The gentleman, Congressman Nazal.

3123
03:01:27,860 --> 03:01:29,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We will look into it.

3124
03:01:31,740 --> 03:01:35,800
Rep. Roberto Nazal: We have been raising this, Distinguished Sponsor, since 2025.

3125
03:01:36,760 --> 03:01:38,580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Ang CHED po, alam po nila yan.

3126
03:01:39,240 --> 03:01:44,740
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, ang tanong ko po, sumulat po ba ang CHED sa DOF, sa DBM, with regards to this?

3127
03:01:45,080 --> 03:01:51,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Allow me first to give time for the Department of Finance to turn over the documents, Mr. Speaker.

3128
03:01:51,920 --> 03:01:54,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: If I may be allowed, Mr. Speaker.

3129
03:01:55,180 --> 03:01:57,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, may we request for a few-minute suspension?

3130
03:02:00,360 --> 03:02:01,240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker?

3131
03:02:02,060 --> 03:02:06,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, just to give accurate answer to Congressman Nazal.

3132
03:02:06,900 --> 03:02:07,460
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yes, please.

3133
03:02:07,680 --> 03:02:08,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker,

3134
03:02:08,700 --> 03:02:13,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, the discussion is here.

3135
03:02:14,940 --> 03:02:15,420
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Yes.

3136
03:02:15,860 --> 03:02:18,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Just for a few minutes.

3137
03:02:19,060 --> 03:02:19,800
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Session is suspended.

3138
03:05:20,020 --> 03:05:21,440
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Session is resumed.

3139
03:05:25,180 --> 03:05:55,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, apologies if it took a while to get the exact letter. We do confirm that there's a letter request from the Commission on Higher Education. This is in relation to the abolition of, yeah, the travel taxation. So they're requesting, in lieu of that, can they be allowed, or can the Department of Finance create a

3140
03:05:55,180 --> 03:06:25,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: trust fund for this specific collection from the travel tax to support CHED, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor. Tama ba? That's in lieu of the abolition of the travel tax, Mr. Speaker, because I believe the collectibles from the travel tax go directly to the CHED and to Department [unclear]. So, with the abolition of the travel tax,

3141
03:06:25,180 --> 03:06:55,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang hinihingi po ng CHED according to this letter, kung puwede pong magkaroon ng support. And then, if it's possible, let me just read to you, Mr. Speaker, the language of the letter. So, amount equivalent to no less than 3% but not more than 5% of their unimpaired surplus during the immediately preceding year. So this is the preceding year before the abolition.

3142
03:06:55,180 --> 03:07:12,450
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So they are also requesting supposedly the trust fund to be created, established by the Department of Finance to support the need of the CHED.

3143
03:07:12,450 --> 03:07:14,280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Under a GFI?

3144
03:07:14,280 --> 03:07:16,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

3145
03:07:16,100 --> 03:07:18,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: In compliance with the law?

3146
03:07:18,500 --> 03:07:26,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, we presume that it is in compliance with that law. So they are asking, so the DOF is inclined to grant the current...

3147
03:07:26,680 --> 03:07:55,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Wala pa, no? Okay, so it's a fund from the GFI, but the... Ma'am, sorry.

3148
03:07:55,180 --> 03:08:25,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, sorry ha, sorry. To answer your question, yes, there was a letter request, but I will just have to read

3149
03:08:25,180 --> 03:08:55,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: for clarity and for accuracy. Read the letter of CHED to the DOF. If, Mr. Speaker, if I may be allowed. Remittances from government financial institutions under Section 10, paragraph B of Republic Act [unclear]. Government financing institutions identified and requested by the Commission may contribute to the Fund an amount equivalent to not less than 3% but not more than 5% of

3150
03:08:55,180 --> 03:09:25,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the unimpaired surplus realized during the immediately preceding year. Further, Section 73 of Republic Act No. 9593 provides that the national government shall look for alternative funding sources for programs funded by the travel tax in the event of a phase-out of travel tax collection following the international agreements. Opening and management of trust fund. They are requesting, in relation to the receipt of the aforementioned GFI contributions and other sources specified

3151
03:09:25,180 --> 03:09:36,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: under Section 10 of RA 7722, we seek guidance on establishment and operation of a dedicated trust fund account with the Bureau of Treasury.

3152
03:09:36,020 --> 03:09:54,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker, may I interrupt my distinguished colleague? So the letter, Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, is basically about asking for an alternative to the abolition of the travel tax. Is that correct?

3153
03:09:54,500 --> 03:09:58,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I'm sorry, Your Honor. Yes, we do confirm that there was a letter.

3154
03:09:58,460 --> 03:10:25,160
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yes. So what I'm asking basically is how do we intend to comply with the law considering po na meron pang pera under the HEDF? So the money should supposedly be in a GFI, in a government financial institution in compliance with the law. Meron pa ring pera from the travel tax na nakuha ang HEDF.

3155
03:10:25,180 --> 03:10:33,700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So ang tinatanong ko po, are we going to comply with that? Are we inclined to comply with that, na ilagay po yung pondo sa isang GFI?

3156
03:10:33,700 --> 03:10:54,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, okay, Mr. Speaker, we will comply with what the law says. Mr. Speaker, again, let me quote Section 11 just for accuracy of responding to your question. Management, Section 11, management and administration of the Higher Education Development Fund. The Fund shall be administered by the Commission,

3157
03:10:54,500 --> 03:11:19,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: meaning the CHED, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor. For sound and judicious management of the Fund, the Commission shall appoint a reputable government financial institution as portfolio manager of the Fund, subject to the following conditions. And there are several conditions, Mr. Speaker. So, in a nutshell, Mr. Speaker, it is the CHED that actually should administer the funding, and they should also appoint and then decide who will be the manager.

3158
03:11:19,040 --> 03:11:25,160
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So my basic question, distinguished sponsor, is when will this be complied with?

3159
03:11:25,180 --> 03:11:29,180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Meron na po bang concrete action on when this will happen?

3160
03:11:29,180 --> 03:11:36,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, again, Mr. Speaker, it's based on the understanding of the DAF on the specific provision under the law.

3161
03:11:37,180 --> 03:11:41,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It should be the CHED, Mr. Speaker, that directly...

3162
03:11:42,080 --> 03:11:44,460
Rep. Roberto Nazal: But the funds are currently with the BTR.

3163
03:11:45,100 --> 03:11:47,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: You're asking if there's some money, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor?

3164
03:11:47,760 --> 03:11:48,080
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yes.

3165
03:11:48,720 --> 03:11:49,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, there is, Mr. Speaker.

3166
03:11:49,560 --> 03:11:51,180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, what will the DOF...

3167
03:11:51,180 --> 03:12:02,300
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And I think the DOF should intervene and help the CHED para makapag-comply po with the law.

3168
03:12:02,620 --> 03:12:03,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, we understand, Mr. Speaker.

3169
03:12:04,020 --> 03:12:11,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, we will comply with whatever is the parameter set by the law as referenced by the good gentleman, Nadal.

3170
03:12:12,620 --> 03:12:18,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The DOF will sit down with the CHED in order to facilitate in connection with the letter

3171
03:12:18,680 --> 03:12:21,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and as well as the provisions.

3172
03:12:21,180 --> 03:12:23,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Under the specific law, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

3173
03:12:23,260 --> 03:12:28,780
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Can we get a timeline and a commitment from DOF on when they intend to comply with this?

3174
03:12:29,660 --> 03:12:33,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We will just have to coordinate with the Commission on Higher Education.

3175
03:12:34,240 --> 03:12:40,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But definitely, once there will be a set-up schedule for specific coordination,

3176
03:12:40,880 --> 03:12:45,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I can assure you, I can guarantee to you, as a sponsor of their budget,

3177
03:12:46,160 --> 03:12:48,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I will ask the DOF to...

3178
03:12:48,300 --> 03:12:50,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, may I request for a written commitment?

3179
03:12:50,620 --> 03:12:50,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes.

3180
03:12:51,180 --> 03:12:52,440
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yes, from the DOF?

3181
03:12:52,900 --> 03:12:56,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We will assure the good gentleman, Congressman Nadal, that he will be informed.

3182
03:12:57,100 --> 03:12:57,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Nazal, sorry.

3183
03:13:01,280 --> 03:13:04,240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Distinguished sponsor, Mr. Speaker, may I move to my next question?

3184
03:13:05,260 --> 03:13:07,520
Rep. Roberto Nazal: I would like to go to fuel marking.

3185
03:13:08,720 --> 03:13:11,580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker, through you, may I ask our distinguished colleague,

3186
03:13:12,580 --> 03:13:20,000
Rep. Roberto Nazal: what independent evidence shows that fuel marking resists dilution, blending, and chemical alteration?

3187
03:13:20,000 --> 03:13:26,580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: How does the current program detect fuel entering outside the formal importation and marking process?

3188
03:13:28,560 --> 03:13:29,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

3189
03:13:30,100 --> 03:13:33,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, our declared import volume increased by 77%,

3190
03:13:33,960 --> 03:13:42,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: while duties and taxes collected rose by 179%, Mr. Speaker.

3191
03:13:42,580 --> 03:13:48,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, the annual fuel import volumes, Mr. Speaker, increased by about 11.2 billion liters.

3192
03:13:48,880 --> 03:13:49,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, this is...

3193
03:13:50,000 --> 03:13:57,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The result of that is the additional 163.54 billion in our annual collection, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

3194
03:13:57,800 --> 03:14:03,700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Have we monitored? Do we have data on magkano po yung hindi natin nakita?

3195
03:14:04,440 --> 03:14:08,200
Rep. Roberto Nazal: How much was lost due to smuggling, despite the marking?

3196
03:14:11,760 --> 03:14:15,380
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And the current program, are we evaluating the current program?

3197
03:14:16,060 --> 03:14:19,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, just to respond to that, Congressman Nazal,

3198
03:14:20,000 --> 03:14:23,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, what we can actually give you as a concrete data

3199
03:14:23,640 --> 03:14:36,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is based on those commodities that have been nakuha or na-reprimand or na-secure

3200
03:14:36,560 --> 03:14:40,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng Bureau of Customs as a product of their anti-smuggling operation.

3201
03:14:40,940 --> 03:14:49,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But as to the entirety of how much do we lose because of tax leakages through smuggling,

3202
03:14:50,000 --> 03:14:53,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we can only give you just an approximate.

3203
03:14:53,820 --> 03:15:00,990
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero what we can provide you is the actual seizures amount of commodities that the BOC has.

3204
03:15:00,990 --> 03:15:22,540
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Ever since we implemented the Fuel Marking Program, since 2023 to 2024, Customs reported 142 apprehensions, 31 cases, but only from this Fuel Marking Program, only one conviction.

3205
03:15:23,360 --> 03:15:28,980
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, may I ask what are the updated convictions and actual tax risk recoveries?

3206
03:15:30,000 --> 03:15:34,340
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Are inspections reaching high-risk independent stations?

3207
03:15:35,700 --> 03:15:39,220
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Does the current program provide for that?

3208
03:15:40,120 --> 03:15:42,800
Rep. Roberto Nazal: High-risk independent stations, depots, and vessels.

3209
03:15:43,720 --> 03:15:45,580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Where are the cases getting stuck?

3210
03:15:46,240 --> 03:15:49,440
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And what will the DOF change in the current program?

3211
03:16:00,000 --> 03:16:29,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, due to the adjustment from the DOJ's filing of the cases with a certainty of conviction, Mr. Speaker, the Department of, I'm sorry, the Bureau of Customs also has to review those cases,

3212
03:16:30,000 --> 03:16:59,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: adjust these filings so that they can actually reach the quantum of evidence that the DOJ is now requiring, cases filed, which is basically a certainty of conviction once they file these cases, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor. But there have been cases that have already been filed by the Bureau of Customs, Mr. Speaker, before the Department of Justice, Mr. Speaker. But some that they need also to reevaluate so that they can

3213
03:17:00,000 --> 03:17:11,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: refile it again, this time with ample evidences to achieve that certainty of conviction, Mr. Speaker, as requested or as defined under the new ruling of the Department of Justice, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

3214
03:17:11,940 --> 03:17:15,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker, may I ask, through the distinguished sponsor.

3215
03:17:15,620 --> 03:17:15,700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you, Sir.

3216
03:17:24,700 --> 03:17:26,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, the Department of...

3217
03:17:27,140 --> 03:17:29,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The number of seizures, Mr. Speaker, as...

3218
03:17:30,000 --> 03:17:48,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: As to the fuel or oil smuggling, the Bureau of Customs has already had 52 seizures amounting to an estimated value of 202...

3219
03:17:48,260 --> 03:17:52,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 202 billion...

3220
03:17:52,800 --> 03:18:00,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 202 million 51,645 and 95 centavos, to be exact.

3221
03:18:00,220 --> 03:18:04,580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: In the interest of time, distinguished sponsor, may I just ask for the copy of the data?

3222
03:18:04,700 --> 03:18:05,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, yes, we will provide your copy.

3223
03:18:06,280 --> 03:18:22,420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, distinguished sponsor, through you, Mr. Speaker, how much additional revenue is genuinely attributable to fuel marking after accounting for tax increases, oil prices, and import volumes?

3224
03:18:27,280 --> 03:18:29,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: About, Mr. Speaker, well, about...

3225
03:18:29,840 --> 03:18:44,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, since we have already increased yung collection natin from 179,000 percent, so the exact amount is 163.54 billion pesos in our annual collection of gas markings, Mr....

3226
03:18:44,700 --> 03:18:47,640
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And this is attributable to fuel marking?

3227
03:18:48,400 --> 03:18:49,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

3228
03:18:50,500 --> 03:18:53,920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: May I ask for a full report on this?

3229
03:18:53,920 --> 03:18:58,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, we will definitely submit to you a hard copy in the study of that.

3230
03:18:59,840 --> 03:19:01,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Projection of that collection, Mr. Speaker.

3231
03:19:03,580 --> 03:19:10,320
Rep. Roberto Nazal: We received reports po that the current arrangement has been cancelled.

3232
03:19:10,860 --> 03:19:15,880
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kasi parang ang understanding ko po, binibid out po yan eh, kung sino po yung proponent, ano.

3233
03:19:15,880 --> 03:19:21,720
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And now, we are transferring to a PPP arrangement.

3234
03:19:23,100 --> 03:19:28,860
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, and they are proposing a 13.44 billion.

3235
03:19:28,860 --> 03:19:29,800
Rep. Roberto Nazal: The current proposal...

3236
03:19:29,840 --> 03:19:34,060
Rep. Roberto Nazal: The current proposal proposes a 13.44 billion PPP arrangement.

3237
03:19:34,740 --> 03:19:39,800
Rep. Roberto Nazal: May I ask, what is its cost per liter compared to the present contract?

3238
03:19:40,380 --> 03:19:41,660
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And who will pay for this?

3239
03:19:45,300 --> 03:19:50,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, as per offer, Mr. Speaker, it's 10 centavos per liter, Mr. Speaker.

3240
03:19:50,620 --> 03:19:52,000
Rep. Roberto Nazal: 10 centavos per liter?

3241
03:19:52,160 --> 03:19:52,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

3242
03:19:52,820 --> 03:19:56,240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, yun po ang ipapatong for fuel marking?

3243
03:19:56,620 --> 03:19:57,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, that's correct.

3244
03:19:57,420 --> 03:19:59,480
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And who will cover this?

3245
03:19:59,840 --> 03:20:00,940
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Sino po ang magbabayad yan?

3246
03:20:01,240 --> 03:20:02,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The oil companies, Mr. Speaker, yun.

3247
03:20:02,800 --> 03:20:04,400
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, it will be charged to the consumers?

3248
03:20:07,660 --> 03:20:09,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, yes, Mr. Speaker.

3249
03:20:09,500 --> 03:20:11,900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Who is currently paying for the current arrangement?

3250
03:20:14,580 --> 03:20:16,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The oil companies, Mr. Speaker, yun.

3251
03:20:17,000 --> 03:20:19,920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, based on the current arrangement, binibid out po yan?

3252
03:20:21,760 --> 03:20:22,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

3253
03:20:23,240 --> 03:20:25,280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And how much is being charged currently?

3254
03:20:28,720 --> 03:20:29,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pp. 0.69.

3255
03:20:29,840 --> 03:20:30,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pp. 0.69, Mr. Speaker, yun.

3256
03:20:30,880 --> 03:20:32,340
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, bakit po tataas?

3257
03:20:38,220 --> 03:20:45,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, because of the inflation, Mr. Speaker, that also is a considerable factor kung bakit.

3258
03:20:46,760 --> 03:20:50,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 2018 kasi yung pricing, yung time na yun.

3259
03:20:50,700 --> 03:20:53,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, mayroon pong effect ng inflation, Mr. Speaker, yung honor.

3260
03:20:55,120 --> 03:20:59,720
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Based on the current results, ever since we started implementing this,

3261
03:20:59,840 --> 03:21:02,380
Rep. Roberto Nazal: na isa lang po yung naging conviction,

3262
03:21:03,280 --> 03:21:09,900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: do you think, does the DOF think that this current system is effective?

3263
03:21:11,420 --> 03:21:12,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

3264
03:21:13,020 --> 03:21:15,120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, we had 100...

3265
03:21:29,840 --> 03:21:35,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, Mr. Speaker, again, yes, we understand, Mr. Speaker,

3266
03:21:35,860 --> 03:21:45,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: but so far as the, you know, we're talking about smuggling here, right, Mr. Speaker, your honor?

3267
03:21:45,640 --> 03:21:48,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, yes, we understand that there is one conviction, Mr. Speaker,

3268
03:21:49,420 --> 03:21:53,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: but then again, as to the exact, what is important, Mr. Speaker,

3269
03:21:53,800 --> 03:21:57,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: if may hope that Congressman Nazal will also appreciate,

3270
03:21:57,220 --> 03:21:58,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is the estimated...

3271
03:21:58,860 --> 03:22:06,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: value that we have seized, the Bureau of Customs has seized, which is, you know, I already gave you, Mr. Speaker, the amount.

3272
03:22:06,580 --> 03:22:09,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero ito pong mga charges na ito, ongoing naman po eh.

3273
03:22:09,560 --> 03:22:12,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Basically, distinguished sponsor, ang gusto ko lang naman pong maintindihan,

3274
03:22:13,100 --> 03:22:19,000
Rep. Roberto Nazal: is are we really stopping smugglers through this fuel, through this system of fuel marking,

3275
03:22:19,380 --> 03:22:23,120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: or basically, ang nangyayari lang po ba is,

3276
03:22:23,700 --> 03:22:28,200
Rep. Roberto Nazal: are we mainly marking the fuel of legitimate importers who have already paid their taxes?

3277
03:22:28,200 --> 03:22:39,760
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kasi baka mamaya ang nangyayari, nag-charge lang po tayo ng additional pero hindi naman talaga naka-curb nung sistema yung pag-smuggle.

3278
03:22:58,200 --> 03:23:08,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We can identify, we determine, and we have a concrete way of determining kung sino dapat magbabayad.

3279
03:23:08,460 --> 03:23:18,660
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, Distinguished Sponsor, does the DOF have a complete and independent technical cost-benefit and supplier integrity review?

3280
03:23:19,040 --> 03:23:19,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

3281
03:23:20,480 --> 03:23:20,880
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Meron po.

3282
03:23:21,800 --> 03:23:22,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Meron po.

3283
03:23:22,880 --> 03:23:24,400
Rep. Roberto Nazal: May I ask for a copy of that?

3284
03:23:24,780 --> 03:23:26,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

3285
03:23:27,080 --> 03:23:28,180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And do we already?

3286
03:23:28,200 --> 03:23:42,540
Rep. Roberto Nazal: We already have a review evaluating other possible systems kung ano po yung posibleng mas maganda.

3287
03:23:42,540 --> 03:23:58,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kasi my understanding is that the current provider uses halogens, halogenated compounds.

3288
03:23:58,200 --> 03:24:02,640
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And ang tanong po is na-evaluate po ba natin yan?

3289
03:24:03,300 --> 03:24:10,880
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kasi ang balita po is hindi na po ito ginagamit sa Germany at sa China because it is carcinogenic.

3290
03:24:11,520 --> 03:24:21,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think based on the, approved naman po ng Department of Energy and DNR po yung itong ginagamit po ng ating Bureau of Customs.

3291
03:24:21,740 --> 03:24:26,600
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, ito pong Philippine Marking System natin, na-test na po ito.

3292
03:24:27,000 --> 03:24:27,920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Has this been tested?

3293
03:24:27,920 --> 03:24:30,120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Has this been tested independently for safety?

3294
03:24:30,860 --> 03:24:31,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

3295
03:24:31,800 --> 03:24:34,560
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And do we have, can we have, can you provide a copy of that report?

3296
03:24:34,620 --> 03:24:37,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We will, yes, we will provide for the copy.

3297
03:24:38,920 --> 03:24:39,480
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you.

3298
03:24:39,760 --> 03:24:42,420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you, Mr. Distinguished Sponsor, Mr. Speaker.

3299
03:24:42,820 --> 03:24:44,240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: I'll move to my next question.

3300
03:24:46,460 --> 03:24:54,480
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker, through you, what does abandoned mean for purposes of declaring savings?

3301
03:24:54,480 --> 03:24:57,880
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Can a project be declared abandoned?

3302
03:24:57,920 --> 03:25:00,860
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Even, even before the contract is awarded?

3303
03:25:02,660 --> 03:25:05,160
Rep. Roberto Nazal: If yes, on what specific grounds?

3304
03:25:07,460 --> 03:25:17,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It's, it's, Mr. Speaker, again, it's, it's entirely up, it's entirely a decision that has to be made by the Department of Budget and Management, Mr. Speaker.

3305
03:25:19,660 --> 03:25:22,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Because, you know, allocation of funding,

3306
03:25:22,360 --> 03:25:30,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: especially fundings that are already obligated and has yet to be obligated.

3307
03:25:30,680 --> 03:25:31,700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Can you speak up,

3308
03:25:31,700 --> 03:25:33,460
Rep. Roberto Nazal: distinguished sponsor? Sorry, hindi kita marinig.

3309
03:25:33,460 --> 03:25:52,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: again just to a short answer Mr. Speaker I think the primary agency that has that that has that mandate to answer that question Mr. Speaker with all due respect is the Department of Budget and Management because it now record it in our orders the issue of allocation fund allocation

3310
03:25:52,000 --> 03:26:03,680
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yes the DOF is part of the DBCC and the DEF so in terms of policy direction we have to be clear so kailangan po clearly i-define ito

3311
03:26:03,680 --> 03:26:18,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: yeah but it has Mr. Speaker with all due respect there also is such a thing as the BBM guidelines wherein that's actually where they can draw specification um and priority as to budget allocation for agencies Mr. Speaker

3312
03:26:18,820 --> 03:26:21,660
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yes but is that the DOF part of uh

3313
03:26:21,660 --> 03:26:21,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: um

3314
03:26:22,000 --> 03:26:22,920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker

3315
03:26:23,600 --> 03:26:42,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: As far as Mr. Speaker as far as generating collection revenue is concerned to fund all these priorities sited by the DBM in so far as budget allocation is concerned then that's the participation Mrs. Speaker of the Department of Finance Mr. Speaker your honor

3316
03:26:42,940 --> 03:26:46,280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So you're saying that the DOF has nothing to do with this?

3317
03:26:46,640 --> 03:26:49,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The allocation Mr. Speaker has

3318
03:26:49,740 --> 03:26:51,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to obligated funding

3319
03:26:51,360 --> 03:26:51,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: unobligated

3320
03:26:51,860 --> 03:27:07,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: No, I understand that. But what I'm saying is, we have to, the DOF is part of creating the definitions on what savings is. The DOF is also part of policy direction.

3321
03:27:07,040 --> 03:27:21,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, it's not the DBCC even, Mr. Speaker. It's actually the Department of Budget and Management, National Budget Circular.

3322
03:27:22,180 --> 03:27:31,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: These are the guidelines on the release of funds for every fiscal year, Mr. Speaker. So we can provide you the copy, Mr. Speaker, of this particular budget circular.

3323
03:27:37,040 --> 03:27:45,860
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Okay. Let me move to my next question.

3324
03:27:49,080 --> 03:27:57,080
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, has the BIR issued the circular clarifying the VAT treatment of system loss charges?

3325
03:27:57,920 --> 03:27:58,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

3326
03:27:59,500 --> 03:28:02,200
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So meron na po tayong circular?

3327
03:28:03,440 --> 03:28:04,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Meron na po, Mr. Speaker.

3328
03:28:06,220 --> 03:28:07,020
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Magandang balita.

3329
03:28:07,040 --> 03:28:14,640
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Magandang balita po yan. So, kailan po mag-a-apply ito sa mga billing ng ating mga consumers?

3330
03:28:17,080 --> 03:28:23,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It will be on November, Mr. Speaker, under the ERC guidelines, as we were told, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

3331
03:28:23,820 --> 03:28:30,220
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So starting November po, lahat po ng billing, wala na pong VAT on systems loss?

3332
03:28:30,420 --> 03:28:32,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: As we were told, Mr. Speaker, by the ERC.

3333
03:28:33,660 --> 03:28:35,920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Maraming salamat on that, distinguished sponsor.

3334
03:28:37,040 --> 03:28:42,960
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Now, moving to my next question, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor,

3335
03:28:44,160 --> 03:28:51,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: has Treasury resolved the audit finding on the absence of a formal debt management strategy?

3336
03:28:53,620 --> 03:29:06,820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Will DOF submit the approved strategy and the interest rate, exchange rate, and refinancing stress tests supporting the 2027?

3337
03:29:07,040 --> 03:29:08,420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Barrowing program.

3338
03:29:14,160 --> 03:29:14,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah.

3339
03:29:19,640 --> 03:29:27,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, we have already published, the DOF has already published the medium term debt management strategy, Mr. Speaker,

3340
03:29:27,320 --> 03:29:33,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and that is actually the basis of the DOF's borrowing program, Mr. Speaker.

3341
03:29:33,300 --> 03:29:35,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So to answer the question, yes po.

3342
03:29:37,040 --> 03:29:38,720
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Could you please repeat that?

3343
03:29:39,380 --> 03:29:52,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think in response to the question of the good gentleman, the DOF has already published the medium term debt management strategy, Mr. Speaker,

3344
03:29:53,060 --> 03:29:59,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and that is actually the basis for the borrowing program, Mr. Speaker, that the DOF is intended to pursue.

3345
03:30:00,000 --> 03:30:12,980
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So in that debt management strategy po, meron po tayong cost-benefit analysis kung alimbawa paano yung sharing ng local, saka kung yung foreign loans.

3346
03:30:13,940 --> 03:30:14,900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So we already have that.

3347
03:30:14,960 --> 03:30:16,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, meron po yan, Mr. Speaker.

3348
03:30:16,880 --> 03:30:20,560
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you for that, Distinguished Sponsor, Mr. Speaker.

3349
03:30:22,620 --> 03:30:26,160
Rep. Roberto Nazal: My next question is for earmarked revenues.

3350
03:30:26,160 --> 03:30:35,580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker, we recognize that the DOF must manage government cash and avoid unnecessary borrowing.

3351
03:30:36,440 --> 03:30:46,940
Rep. Roberto Nazal: But when earmarked revenues remain with Treasury despite funding needs in PhilHealth, DICT, Bureau of Fire, and other agencies,

3352
03:30:48,160 --> 03:30:54,920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: does DOF measure the financing savings against the public benefits lost through delayed releases?

3353
03:30:56,160 --> 03:31:05,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, may I be allowed to refer to you?

3354
03:31:23,140 --> 03:31:26,000
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Basically, Distinguished Sponsor, may I just add, no?

3355
03:31:26,160 --> 03:31:43,520
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Does the DOF, do we compute not only the interest saved, but also the cost of delayed healthcare, lost opportunities for human capital development, and delayed improvements in digital government and public service efficiency?

3356
03:31:44,900 --> 03:31:46,980
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Do we have a comparative assessment?

3357
03:31:51,040 --> 03:31:55,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, the DOF doesn't get

3358
03:31:56,160 --> 03:32:10,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: into the business of studying, as what you requested, yung ano yung effect ng delayed releases, as well as yung mga interest rates.

3359
03:32:11,300 --> 03:32:25,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think what the DOF is mainly tasked to do is first to identify the possible revenue that we can collect through taxes, loans, and dividend interest, Mr. Speaker.

3360
03:32:25,500 --> 03:32:26,140
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Is it the Bureau?

3361
03:32:26,140 --> 03:32:28,420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Is it the Bureau of Treasury under the DOF?

3362
03:32:28,480 --> 03:32:28,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: No.

3363
03:32:30,160 --> 03:32:31,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: No, Mr. Speaker, yung ano.

3364
03:32:33,280 --> 03:32:36,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Oh, yeah, it's under the DEV-DEV, Mr. Speaker.

3365
03:32:37,120 --> 03:32:40,140
Rep. Roberto Nazal: But the DOF also determines...

3366
03:32:41,320 --> 03:32:44,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Sorry, pardon, Mr. Speaker, let me confirm.

3367
03:32:44,840 --> 03:32:48,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: You're asking about the issue on the Bureau of Treasury?

3368
03:32:48,960 --> 03:32:49,300
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yes.

3369
03:32:49,420 --> 03:32:52,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, it's still, it's an attached agency of DOF, Mr. Speaker.

3370
03:32:52,500 --> 03:33:00,380
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, if that's the case, distinguished sponsor, hindi po ba ang nangyayari, ang Bureau of...

3371
03:33:00,380 --> 03:33:05,100
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, who determines kung ano, kung kailan ginagamit po ang earmark funds?

3372
03:33:05,940 --> 03:33:15,600
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kasi, anangyayari po, the earmark funds are currently, are currently deposited with the Bureau of Treasury.

3373
03:33:15,780 --> 03:33:16,260
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Tama po ba?

3374
03:33:17,240 --> 03:33:25,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker, pero pagdating po doon sa actual na gastusin na per agency at saka paano po ma-allocate yung

3375
03:33:25,440 --> 03:33:27,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: gastusin for AGC, DBM po talaga

3376
03:33:27,440 --> 03:33:28,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: yun, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

3377
03:33:29,060 --> 03:33:30,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Tsaka yung ahensya na yun.

3378
03:33:31,580 --> 03:33:33,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So kung may mga savings po talaga,

3379
03:33:33,840 --> 03:33:35,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of course, diretso pupunta

3380
03:33:35,500 --> 03:33:36,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: yun sa Bureau of Treasury.

3381
03:33:36,880 --> 03:33:39,660
Rep. Roberto Nazal: But who determines in the Bureau of Treasury

3382
03:33:39,660 --> 03:33:41,740
Rep. Roberto Nazal: kung kailan gagamitin ang alin?

3383
03:33:42,000 --> 03:33:43,260
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Because ang nangyayari po,

3384
03:33:44,080 --> 03:33:44,840
Rep. Roberto Nazal: earmark funds

3385
03:33:44,840 --> 03:33:46,680
Rep. Roberto Nazal: which are supposedly

3386
03:33:46,680 --> 03:33:49,580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: passed by law and earmarked

3387
03:33:49,580 --> 03:33:51,420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: specifically for the department,

3388
03:33:51,620 --> 03:33:52,580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: hindi po niya nagagamit.

3389
03:33:53,120 --> 03:33:55,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, unang-una, ang implementing agency

3390
03:33:55,240 --> 03:33:57,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: po talaga, yung supposedly.

3391
03:33:57,280 --> 03:33:59,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ngayon, kung ito po ay bad, ito po yung kondo,

3392
03:33:59,600 --> 03:34:01,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pardon my simple

3393
03:34:01,300 --> 03:34:03,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: illustration, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

3394
03:34:03,880 --> 03:34:05,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kung merong obligated funding

3395
03:34:05,540 --> 03:34:06,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: naman po ito,

3396
03:34:07,000 --> 03:34:09,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: even if it's not automatically

3397
03:34:09,040 --> 03:34:11,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: consumed by year

3398
03:34:11,200 --> 03:34:13,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: because it's multi-year, hindi po na po

3399
03:34:13,220 --> 03:34:15,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: bumabalik sa Treasury, it would continuously

3400
03:34:15,080 --> 03:34:15,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: be paid.

3401
03:34:15,640 --> 03:34:17,520
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yes, I understand. Pero ang nangyayari po,

3402
03:34:18,860 --> 03:34:19,620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: pag ginamit po

3403
03:34:19,620 --> 03:34:21,360
Rep. Roberto Nazal: natin ito, yung earmarked

3404
03:34:21,360 --> 03:34:22,680
Rep. Roberto Nazal: funds natin,

03:34:23,320 --> 03:34:24,980
Rep. Roberto Nazal: kesa in you,

Rep. Roberto Nazal: of let's say, borrowing,

03:34:28,700 --> 03:34:29,520
Rep. Roberto Nazal: ginagamit na po

3408
03:34:29,520 --> 03:34:30,660
Rep. Roberto Nazal: natin yung pera nung

3409
03:34:30,660 --> 03:34:32,480
Rep. Roberto Nazal: na earmarked for a specific

3410
03:34:32,480 --> 03:34:35,240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: agency. So, kung ginamit

3411
03:34:35,240 --> 03:34:37,000
Rep. Roberto Nazal: natin siya for a particular borrowing,

3412
03:34:37,420 --> 03:34:38,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: hindi ba responsibilidad

3413
03:34:38,500 --> 03:34:39,860
Rep. Roberto Nazal: ng DOF yun?

3414
03:34:40,960 --> 03:34:43,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, again, Mr. Speaker, as to that

03:35:36,600 --> 03:35:39,040

3459
03:36:06,960 --> 03:36:08,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is needed, tapos i-request naman po yun

3460
03:36:08,900 --> 03:36:09,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: naman po talaga yung...

3461
03:36:09,540 --> 03:36:12,460
Rep. Roberto Nazal: That is not true, distinguished sponsor, because the earmarked funds

3462
03:36:12,460 --> 03:36:14,100
Rep. Roberto Nazal: currently may be used

3463
03:36:14,100 --> 03:36:16,760
Rep. Roberto Nazal: by the government.

3464
03:36:17,620 --> 03:36:18,880
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Ang nangyayari po...

3465
03:36:19,500 --> 03:36:20,540

Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you.

3468
03:36:24,880 --> 03:36:27,180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker. So, ang nangyayari

3469
03:36:27,180 --> 03:36:29,180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: po is hindi nga po nila nagagamit

3470
03:36:29,180 --> 03:36:31,360
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yung earmarked funds nila. Even if they request

3471
03:36:31,360 --> 03:36:33,160
Rep. Roberto Nazal: for funding from

3472
03:36:33,160 --> 03:36:35,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: their earmarked funds, hindi nila nagagamit

3473
03:36:35,040 --> 03:36:36,000
Rep. Roberto Nazal: kasi ginagamit

3474
03:36:36,000 --> 03:36:38,180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: sa ibang purpose.

3475
03:36:39,000 --> 03:36:40,940
Rep. Roberto Nazal: At ang sinasabi sa kanila,

3476
03:36:41,540 --> 03:36:42,740
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yan po ay reklamo ng

3477
03:36:42,740 --> 03:36:44,880
Rep. Roberto Nazal: currently ng karamihan ng mga

3478
03:36:44,880 --> 03:36:47,280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: departamento na hindi nila

3479
03:36:47,280 --> 03:36:49,040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: nakukuha yung earmarked funds nila

3480
03:36:49,040 --> 03:36:50,860
Rep. Roberto Nazal: dahil po ang sinasabi

3481
03:36:50,860 --> 03:36:52,560
Rep. Roberto Nazal: fiscal space.

3482
03:36:52,560 --> 03:36:54,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, again po, DBM po talaga,

3483
03:36:54,880 --> 03:36:55,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kasi, again, may...

3484
03:36:55,920 --> 03:36:58,300
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, even if the balance is, let's say,

3485
03:36:58,600 --> 03:37:00,900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: 20 billion, and they request 10 billion,

3486
03:37:01,020 --> 03:37:02,500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: hindi po nabibigay sa kanila, kahit

3487
03:37:02,500 --> 03:37:04,280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yung Bureau of Fire nga po,

3488
03:37:04,740 --> 03:37:06,660
Rep. Roberto Nazal: hindi raw nila makuha yung kanilang pondo.

3489
03:37:07,380 --> 03:37:08,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, Mr. Speaker, it's the

3490
03:37:08,920 --> 03:37:10,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: DBM. Kasi parang ang Department

3491

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of Finance pong nagbibigay,

3495
03:37:18,780 --> 03:37:20,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nag-allocate ang DBM, at ang

3496
03:37:20,740 --> 03:37:22,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: DBM po nagbibigay sa mga implementing agency.

3497
03:37:22,860 --> 03:37:24,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kung may earmarked revenue po na,

3498
03:37:24,880 --> 03:37:27,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and that particular agency, para yung

3499
03:37:27,000 --> 03:37:28,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa sektor na yun, again,

3500
03:37:29,180 --> 03:37:31,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang DBM po, ang importante

3501

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: po ay mayroong nakolektang revenue

03:37:35,560 --> 03:37:36,960
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kaya nga po tinatanong ko,

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: cash disbursement is

3572
03:39:48,160 --> 03:39:50,360

03:40:01,020 --> 03:40:02,920
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ang proposed budget is 7.2

3579

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: What is the principal component of

3587
03:40:18,620 --> 03:40:20,200
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: this revenue target?

3588
03:40:20,680 --> 03:40:22,720

03:40:45,660 --> 03:40:46,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And from the

3596
03:40:46,940 --> 03:40:49,100

03:40:53,560 --> 03:40:54,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So,

03:40:54,480 --> 03:40:59,880
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: BIR, tax revenues,

3602
03:41:00,020 --> 03:41:00,600
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 4.8?

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 4.8 billion.

03:41:06,640 --> 03:41:08,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I'm sorry, 4.8

3607
03:41:08,120 --> 03:41:11,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 4.851

3608
03:41:11,340 --> 03:41:12,400

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: A billion.

3610
03:41:13,980 --> 03:41:16,060
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: This comes from which particular department?

3611
03:41:16,340 --> 03:41:17,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: I suppose BIR and BOC.

3612
03:41:18,320 --> 03:41:19,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I suppose it's a combination of

3613
03:41:19,740 --> 03:41:21,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: BOC and BIR.

3614
03:41:21,820 --> 03:41:23,740
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ano yung respective share from

3615
03:41:23,740 --> 03:41:24,980
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: BIR and BOC?

3616
03:41:26,980 --> 03:41:29,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 3.7 BIR, 1.1

3617
03:41:29,860 --> 03:41:30,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: from BOC.

3618
03:41:31,080 --> 03:41:33,120
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay, so, BIR and BOC together

3619
03:41:33,120 --> 03:41:34,800
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: are therefore expected to collect

3620
03:41:34,800 --> 03:41:37,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: approximately 4.8 trillion

3621
03:41:37,100 --> 03:41:39,440
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: or 92.4% of all

3622
03:41:39,440 --> 03:41:41,320
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: of the total national government

3623
03:41:41,320 --> 03:41:42,200
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: revenues.

3624
03:41:43,600 --> 03:41:45,280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, the fiscal program

3625
03:41:45,280 --> 03:41:47,160
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: is highly dependent on the performance

3626
03:41:47,160 --> 03:41:48,360
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: of these two agencies.

3627
03:41:48,360 --> 03:41:49,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: That's correct, Mr. Speaker.

3628
03:41:49,580 --> 03:41:51,620
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay, what economic assumptions

3629
03:41:51,620 --> 03:41:53,360
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: would support

3630
03:41:53,740 --> 03:41:54,660

3637
03:42:10,320 --> 03:42:12,480

03:42:32,420 --> 03:42:33,760

03:42:34,220 --> 03:42:36,280

03:42:36,440 --> 03:42:37,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The DEVDEV,

3645
03:42:44,260 --> 03:42:45,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, the projection from

3646
03:42:45,760 --> 03:42:47,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 2025,

3647

3656
03:43:09,180 --> 03:43:10,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And the real

3657
03:43:10,780 --> 03:43:12,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: GDP in this, in peso,

3658

3659
03:43:15,580 --> 03:43:16,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 25,000

3660
03:43:16,440 --> 03:43:17,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: billion.

3661
03:43:17,720 --> 03:43:19,520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ha? Mali yata?

3662
03:43:20,060 --> 03:43:20,300

3664
03:43:23,740 --> 03:43:27,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I'm also, I'm also shocked about,

3665
03:43:27,460 --> 03:43:30,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I didn't know there's a thousand

3666
03:43:30,400 --> 03:43:31,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and also in swell is a billion.

3667
03:43:33,300 --> 03:43:33,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So,

3668
03:43:33,780 --> 03:43:35,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: but according to the

3669
03:43:35,620 --> 03:43:37,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: DEVDEV, we are reading the exact figure.

3670
03:43:37,840 --> 03:43:39,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, the base real

3671

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: GDP growth rate is about

3672
03:43:41,040 --> 03:43:43,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 5.29%.

3673
03:43:43,120 --> 03:43:45,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And

3674
03:43:45,340 --> 03:43:46,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the inflation rate is

3675
03:43:46,800 --> 03:43:49,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 4.0% up to

3676
03:43:49,560 --> 03:43:51,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 5.0%.

3677
03:43:52,460 --> 03:43:53,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Dubai crude oil,

3678
03:43:53,740 --> 03:43:55,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: this is in dollars,

3679
03:43:56,180 --> 03:43:57,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is 70 to 90

3680
03:43:57,860 --> 03:43:59,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: per liter.

3681
03:44:01,320 --> 03:44:02,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: $90 per liter.

3682
03:44:03,340 --> 03:44:03,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And then,

3683
03:44:03,980 --> 03:44:05,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 364 day,

3684
03:44:05,680 --> 03:44:07,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the T-bill rate is about

3685
03:44:07,120 --> 03:44:10,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 5.5%

3686
03:44:10,560 --> 03:44:11,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to 6%.

3687
03:44:11,400 --> 03:44:13,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And then, the exchange rate

3688
03:44:13,840 --> 03:44:15,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: from US to peso

3689
03:44:15,400 --> 03:44:17,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is about 60 to 62,

3690
03:44:18,420 --> 03:44:19,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 62 pesos.

3691
03:44:20,200 --> 03:44:21,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, goods exports growth is

3692
03:44:21,880 --> 03:44:23,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: about 4.

3693
03:44:23,740 --> 03:44:26,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: percent. And then, the goods imports growth is about 5%.

3694
03:44:26,820 --> 03:44:27,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, you are now.

3695
03:44:27,760 --> 03:44:30,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, these are the macroeconomic assumptions,

3696
03:44:30,220 --> 03:44:32,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: not just the DOF that has

3697
03:44:32,120 --> 03:44:34,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: arrived into this, but as well as other agencies.

3698
03:44:34,600 --> 03:44:36,240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay. The reason why I'm asking

3699
03:44:36,240 --> 03:44:37,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: is because these assumptions matter.

3700
03:44:38,280 --> 03:44:39,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Because BIR collections respond

3701
03:44:39,960 --> 03:44:41,900
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: principally to domestic income,

3702
03:44:42,060 --> 03:44:43,640
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: consumption, profits, and prices.

3703
03:44:44,060 --> 03:44:46,060
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: While customs revenues are

3704
03:44:46,060 --> 03:44:48,480
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: also affected by import volumes,

3705
03:44:48,760 --> 03:44:50,240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: commodity prices, and peso

3706
03:44:50,240 --> 03:44:52,240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: value of imports.

3707
03:44:53,000 --> 03:44:53,220
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now,

3708
03:44:53,740 --> 03:44:54,760
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: how vulnerable

3709
03:44:54,760 --> 03:44:57,480
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: is our revenue target?

3710
03:44:58,100 --> 03:44:59,000
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Considering that

3711
03:44:59,000 --> 03:44:59,400
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: uh,

3712
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:08,060
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ang GDP na binigay nyo, you're assuming that it's 5.2, but we are currently 2.8.

3713
03:45:11,140 --> 03:45:21,340
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kasi, for example, kaya ako tinatanong ha, if GDP growth is 1 percentage point below the government's assumption, how much revenue will be lost? Computing nyo.

3714
03:45:21,340 --> 03:45:39,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, Mr. Speaker, again, we understand that there will be losses along the way, but again, the simple answer is that we also need to improve on the collection, capability, and efficiency of our two major revenue collecting agencies under the DOF, which is the BOC and the BIR.

3715
03:45:40,360 --> 03:45:49,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, we understand also in order to come up and to compensate with our possible losses, I think these are the things that we also need to be conscious about.

3716
03:45:49,800 --> 03:45:50,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Improving the tax policy.

3717
03:45:51,340 --> 03:45:54,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Collections from these two agencies, Mr. Speaker.

3718
03:45:54,680 --> 03:46:14,200
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, the reason why I feel that this is very sensitive and kailangan natin itong malaman, because sa ating budget expenditure and source of funding for fiscal year 2027, kita mo,

3719
03:46:14,200 --> 03:46:21,200
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ang assumption is, 1 percentage point increase in real GDP growth adds approximately 38.8 billion.

3720
03:46:21,340 --> 03:46:24,300
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And revenues, paka yung assumption is correct.

3721
03:46:25,200 --> 03:46:32,600
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero, if there is a 1 percentage point increase in inflation naman, adds approximately 36 billion.

3722
03:46:33,980 --> 03:46:40,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And inversely, yun rin yung mawawala sa'yo if you are of the target.

3723
03:46:40,740 --> 03:46:46,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, the government official revenue forecast is already within 5.6 target range.

3724
03:46:46,960 --> 03:46:50,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: If one uses the midpoint of 5.5%, merely as analytical reference.

3725
03:46:52,560 --> 03:46:58,820
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 5.0 growth would imply roughly 19.4 billion less revenues, pagka hindi natin inabot.

3726
03:46:59,780 --> 03:47:10,280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pagka ang GDP natin goes to 4.5, it means there would be 38 billion in decreased revenue.

3727
03:47:10,600 --> 03:47:14,840
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, it's very, our budget is very vulnerable.

3728
03:47:15,680 --> 03:47:19,840
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ano yung, ano ngayon yung...

3729
03:47:21,340 --> 03:47:26,500
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: measures that we have to protect us from this vulnerability.

3730
03:47:41,300 --> 03:47:48,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, Mr. Speaker, we understand also that in terms of the comprehensive understanding of possible losses

3731
03:47:48,480 --> 03:47:51,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and what are the gains in terms of the inflation,

3732
03:47:51,340 --> 03:47:54,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we understand also that this is not entirely within the domestic constraint

3733
03:47:54,920 --> 03:47:57,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: or dictated by our domestic local trade,

3734
03:47:57,780 --> 03:48:01,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: but this is also being decided upon and dictated by the international market.

3735
03:48:01,780 --> 03:48:05,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, again, as what the DOF is saying,

3736
03:48:05,760 --> 03:48:09,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we always go back to compensate those shocks, possible shocks,

3737
03:48:09,500 --> 03:48:12,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: by way of improving the collection, tax collection,

3738
03:48:13,200 --> 03:48:19,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: by both these two major agencies, the Bureau of Customs and Bureau of...

3739
03:48:20,180 --> 03:48:20,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and the Commission.

3740
03:48:21,340 --> 03:48:22,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: BIR, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

3741
03:48:23,360 --> 03:48:27,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, we understand, Mr. Speaker, the concern of the good gentleman,

3742
03:48:27,440 --> 03:48:31,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: but that is actually how the DOF is trying to project possible losses

3743
03:48:31,560 --> 03:48:36,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in order to compensate these losses by these shocks,

3744
03:48:37,760 --> 03:48:41,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as evidently by the inflation rate that is continuously getting high.

3745
03:48:41,940 --> 03:48:45,600
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Mr. Speaker, Good Sponsor, the reason why I'm asking

3746
03:48:45,600 --> 03:48:50,440
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: is because we are asking for a much higher national budget.

3747
03:48:51,340 --> 03:48:53,200
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: The budget proposal is 7.2 billion.

3748
03:48:54,020 --> 03:49:00,240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And our economic backdrop is not as rosy as what we would have wanted it to be.

3749
03:49:01,020 --> 03:49:04,480
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: For 2027, the assumptions follow a period

3750
03:49:04,480 --> 03:49:07,660
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: which economic growth had already slowed.

3751
03:49:08,660 --> 03:49:14,020
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: We had 5.7 real growth in 2024, 4.4% in 2025,

3752
03:49:14,280 --> 03:49:18,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: and 2.6 year-on-year on the first half of 2026.

3753
03:49:18,960 --> 03:49:19,780
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So,

3754
03:49:21,340 --> 03:49:23,760
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: if you compare that, from 2024,

3755
03:49:24,360 --> 03:49:26,520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 2024, it's almost half already.

3756
03:49:27,020 --> 03:49:30,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Considering also that PSA also reported that gross capital formation

3757
03:49:30,940 --> 03:49:36,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: contracted by 9.2% in the second quarter,

3758
03:49:36,600 --> 03:49:40,020
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: while the industry sector contracted by 2.4%.

3759
03:49:40,860 --> 03:49:43,020
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: How household consumption...

3760
03:49:43,020 --> 03:49:49,520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: How household consumption, the economy's principal demand component,

3761
03:49:49,520 --> 03:49:50,520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: because we have a...

3762
03:49:51,340 --> 03:49:55,520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Consumption economy grew by only 2.8%.

3763
03:49:55,520 --> 03:50:00,020
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, parang, with this economic backdrop,

3764
03:50:00,220 --> 03:50:02,280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: parang, and yung projection natin,

3765
03:50:02,960 --> 03:50:04,300
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the parameters that we used,

3766
03:50:05,820 --> 03:50:08,400
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: sigura parang malamang hindi natin maaabot itong

3767
03:50:08,400 --> 03:50:13,480
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 5.2 trillion na revenue target natin.

3768
03:50:13,580 --> 03:50:16,860
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, what concrete economic activity

3769
03:50:16,860 --> 03:50:20,300
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: will produce the acceleration assumed

3770
03:50:20,300 --> 03:50:21,060
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: for the second half of 2026?

3771
03:50:21,060 --> 03:50:23,560
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: for the second half of 2026?

3772
03:50:24,080 --> 03:50:28,280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And then propel the country to further accelerate

3773
03:50:28,280 --> 03:50:32,840
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: to 5.6% growth in 2027?

3774
03:50:33,480 --> 03:50:38,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, Mr. Speaker, we are also not only trying to broader our tax base,

3775
03:50:40,000 --> 03:50:43,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the possible taxes that we can actually generate from,

3776
03:50:43,840 --> 03:50:47,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: but I think the Department of Finance is also trying to be active

3777
03:50:47,840 --> 03:50:50,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and be aggressive about the revenue.

3778
03:50:51,060 --> 03:50:54,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and be aggressive about the revenue collection, Mr. Speaker.

3779
03:50:54,060 --> 03:50:58,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Meaning to say, there are about how many identified assets

3780
03:50:58,040 --> 03:51:02,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that I think the government and the DOF would want also to sell.

3781
03:51:03,300 --> 03:51:08,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: This would also to compensate the much needed growth

3782
03:51:08,680 --> 03:51:10,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that we are projecting in the coming years.

3783
03:51:11,260 --> 03:51:15,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, Mr. Speaker, we have the asset,

3784
03:51:15,680 --> 03:51:20,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: just to give you a sight, I'm telling you kung paano po natin papalaguin

3785
03:51:20,420 --> 03:51:20,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: o mas

3786
03:51:21,420 --> 03:51:23,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: malaki po yung ma-generate natin na

3787
03:51:23,240 --> 03:51:25,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: revenue.

3788
03:51:25,600 --> 03:51:27,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Apart from yung broadening the

3789
03:51:27,480 --> 03:51:28,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: tax-based collection.

3790
03:51:29,860 --> 03:51:31,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mayroon pong asset yung mile long.

3791
03:51:31,560 --> 03:51:33,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: This is 22 square meters in Legazpi

3792
03:51:33,460 --> 03:51:34,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Village, which

3793
03:51:34,720 --> 03:51:37,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the proceeds would, it's about

3794
03:51:37,320 --> 03:51:39,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 10.11,

3795
03:51:39,180 --> 03:51:40,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 111 billion pesos.

3796
03:51:41,640 --> 03:51:43,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Also, the FTI

3797
03:51:43,380 --> 03:51:45,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to privatize also. This is

3798
03:51:45,160 --> 03:51:47,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 110 square meters

3799
03:51:47,520 --> 03:51:48,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to be privatized.

3800
03:51:49,560 --> 03:51:50,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And this is about 22

3801
03:51:50,700 --> 03:51:53,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: .808

3802
03:51:53,080 --> 03:51:53,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: million

3803
03:51:53,940 --> 03:51:56,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pesos.

3804
03:51:57,140 --> 03:51:59,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And there are also the shares of our SLEX.

3805
03:52:00,100 --> 03:52:01,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 20% of equity,

3806
03:52:01,480 --> 03:52:01,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: which is about

3807
03:52:01,980 --> 03:52:05,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 724,

3808
03:52:05,080 --> 03:52:06,520

3809
03:52:06,960 --> 03:52:08,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So that's roughly about additional

3810
03:52:08,700 --> 03:52:10,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 34.21. I'm sorry,

3811
03:52:10,960 --> 03:52:11,560

3812
03:52:11,560 --> 03:52:15,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 802 million in addition to

3813
03:52:15,160 --> 03:52:17,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the possible equity

3814
03:52:17,060 --> 03:52:18,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: shares that we will be

3815
03:52:18,080 --> 03:52:20,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: getting. And as

3816
03:52:20,680 --> 03:52:22,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: well as, mayroon pong share,

3817
03:52:22,780 --> 03:52:24,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: equity share from SEMIRARA,

3818
03:52:25,780 --> 03:52:26,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: which is

3819
03:52:26,180 --> 03:52:28,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 3.42% of equity.

3820
03:52:28,940 --> 03:52:30,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: That's roughly about

3821
03:52:30,060 --> 03:52:33,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 145,609

3822
03:52:33,020 --> 03:52:35,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pesos, Mr. Speaker.

3823
03:52:35,180 --> 03:52:36,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So these are some of the things

3824
03:52:36,720 --> 03:52:38,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that we also, that the OF intends

3825
03:52:38,940 --> 03:52:40,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: also to aggressively

3826
03:52:40,740 --> 03:52:42,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: source out

3827
03:52:42,700 --> 03:52:44,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: from the revenue

3828
03:52:44,420 --> 03:52:46,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that we will get, but the non-taxed revenue

3829
03:52:46,880 --> 03:52:48,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that we will be getting. And as well as,

3830
03:52:48,900 --> 03:52:50,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, because collection,

3831
03:52:50,680 --> 03:52:52,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: it does not only necessarily mean

3832
03:52:52,400 --> 03:52:54,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: effectiveness, but you also have

3833
03:52:54,320 --> 03:52:56,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to fight, for example,

3834
03:52:57,340 --> 03:52:58,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: tax leakages

3835
03:52:58,380 --> 03:53:00,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: by form of smuggling,

3836
03:53:00,940 --> 03:53:02,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: by form of non-tax

3837

3860
03:53:48,400 --> 03:53:49,680

3864
03:53:54,280 --> 03:53:56,140
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: First, broadening the tax base

3865
03:53:56,140 --> 03:53:57,340
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: and then

3866
03:53:57,340 --> 03:53:59,280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: pagbibenta ng asset.

3867
03:54:00,180 --> 03:54:01,480

3870
03:54:06,180 --> 03:54:07,740
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: yun? Unang-una, to broaden

3871
03:54:07,740 --> 03:54:10,080
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the tax base, lower

3872
03:54:10,080 --> 03:54:12,020
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: growth directly threatens the revenue collection.

3873
03:54:12,280 --> 03:54:13,340
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Taxes are generally

3874
03:54:13,340 --> 03:54:16,300
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: generated by economic activity,

3875
03:54:16,500 --> 03:54:18,300
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: income, corporate profits, consumption,

3876
03:54:18,300 --> 03:54:20,080
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: transactions, and importation.

3877
03:54:20,100 --> 03:54:22,320
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: The only way that you could broaden

3878
03:54:22,320 --> 03:54:23,720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: yung tax base is by

3879
03:54:23,720 --> 03:54:25,800
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: having a

3880
03:54:25,800 --> 03:54:28,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: better

3881
03:54:28,840 --> 03:54:29,800
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: economic growth.

3882
03:54:29,940 --> 03:54:32,060
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: If the government can help

3883
03:54:32,060 --> 03:54:34,040
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: pump-prime the economy, or if

3884
03:54:34,040 --> 03:54:35,960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: there would be more investors coming in.

3885
03:54:36,480 --> 03:54:38,160
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero, then you

3886
03:54:38,160 --> 03:54:40,140
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: generate, you broaden the

3887
03:54:40,140 --> 03:54:40,980
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: tax base by,

3888
03:54:41,820 --> 03:54:43,800
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: in a more healthier manner, dahil

3889
03:54:43,800 --> 03:54:45,980
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: mas pinalaki mo yung ekonomiya.

3890
03:54:46,460 --> 03:54:48,020
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero pagka hindi naman lumaki yung

3891
03:54:48,020 --> 03:54:50,020
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ekonomiya, by these new investments coming in,

3892
03:54:50,100 --> 03:54:52,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: by new investors, new

3893
03:54:52,100 --> 03:54:54,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: investment being made

3894
03:54:54,100 --> 03:54:56,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: in our country, kung ang

3895
03:54:56,100 --> 03:54:58,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: pagtaas lang ng revenue

3896
03:54:58,100 --> 03:55:00,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: is from efficient tax

3897
03:55:00,100 --> 03:55:02,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: collection, matagal na nating ginagawa yan,

3898
03:55:02,100 --> 03:55:04,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: but it can only bring your

3899
03:55:04,100 --> 03:55:06,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: revenues to a certain

3900
03:55:06,100 --> 03:55:08,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: point. Hindi pa rin

3901
03:55:08,100 --> 03:55:10,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: aabot tayo.

3902
03:55:10,100 --> 03:55:11,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So...

3903
03:55:11,100 --> 03:55:13,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, Mr. Speaker, I guess

3904
03:55:13,100 --> 03:55:16,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we have already identified

3905
03:55:16,100 --> 03:55:18,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as a form of response

3906
03:55:18,100 --> 03:55:19,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to the earlier interpolators na meron pong

3907
03:55:19,940 --> 03:55:21,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 70% na benchmark po

3908
03:55:21,940 --> 03:55:23,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang International Monitoring

3909
03:55:23,940 --> 03:55:25,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Team, kung masasabi po natin na talagang

3910
03:55:25,940 --> 03:55:27,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nasa patagilid ang ating ekonomiya.

3911
03:55:27,940 --> 03:55:29,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think with the 5... 54%,

3912
03:55:29,940 --> 03:55:31,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, of

3913
03:55:31,940 --> 03:55:33,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: rate, that's the reason

3914
03:55:33,940 --> 03:55:35,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: why medyo maganda po yung ating

3915
03:55:35,940 --> 03:55:37,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: credit rating at yung mga investors po ay pumupunta

3916
03:55:37,940 --> 03:55:39,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: dito. Because we have

3917
03:55:39,940 --> 03:55:41,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that capability of

3918
03:55:41,940 --> 03:55:43,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: paying, you know,

3919
03:55:43,940 --> 03:55:45,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: mga loans, etc. I mean, I'm saying this,

3920
03:55:45,940 --> 03:55:47,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, is because ito po

3921
03:55:47,940 --> 03:55:49,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: yung ganitong karakter, nag-aad, nag-aad,

3922
03:55:49,940 --> 03:55:51,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: po ito doon sa international standing

3923
03:55:51,940 --> 03:55:53,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: natin, at nag-aad po dito

3924
03:55:53,940 --> 03:55:55,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: doon sa attractability

3925
03:55:55,940 --> 03:55:57,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng ating mga investors,

3926
03:55:57,940 --> 03:55:59,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, na pupunta po sa ating bansa.

3927
03:55:59,940 --> 03:56:01,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Yes.

3928
03:56:01,940 --> 03:56:03,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: But, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor,

3929
03:56:03,940 --> 03:56:05,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: but that is precisely the problem. You

3930
03:56:05,940 --> 03:56:07,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: mentioned about attracting foreign investors.

3931
03:56:07,940 --> 03:56:09,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: I'm sure that the Department of

3932
03:56:09,940 --> 03:56:11,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Finance will tell you that

3933
03:56:11,940 --> 03:56:13,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the direct foreign investment natin

3934
03:56:13,940 --> 03:56:15,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: has actually

3935
03:56:15,940 --> 03:56:17,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: dropped from

3936
03:56:17,940 --> 03:56:19,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 2024 to 2026. We

3937
03:56:19,940 --> 03:56:21,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: have dropped by

3938
03:56:21,940 --> 03:56:23,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: almost a third.

3939
03:56:25,940 --> 03:56:27,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, meaning to say,

3940
03:56:27,940 --> 03:56:29,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: kung yun yung inaasahan natin,

3941
03:56:29,940 --> 03:56:31,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: wala yun.

3942
03:56:31,940 --> 03:56:33,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pagka sinabi naman natin

3943
03:56:33,940 --> 03:56:35,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: yung current

3944
03:56:35,940 --> 03:56:37,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: economic

3945
03:56:37,940 --> 03:56:39,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: outlook,

3946
03:56:39,940 --> 03:56:41,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: GDP is 2.3%.

3947
03:56:43,940 --> 03:56:45,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Parehong mababa yun. So,

3948
03:56:45,940 --> 03:56:47,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: kaya ako binabanggit because

3949
03:56:47,940 --> 03:56:49,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the

3950
03:56:49,940 --> 03:56:51,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: problem carries

3951
03:56:51,940 --> 03:56:53,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: towards 2027. Government is

3952
03:56:53,940 --> 03:56:55,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: counting on revenues rising from

3953
03:56:55,940 --> 03:56:57,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 4.8 trillion in 2026

3954
03:56:57,940 --> 03:56:59,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: to 5.2 trillion in 2027.

3955
03:56:59,940 --> 03:57:01,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: An increase of about

3956
03:57:01,940 --> 03:57:03,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 400 billion. If the economic

3957
03:57:03,940 --> 03:57:05,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: base entering 2027 is weaker

3958
03:57:05,940 --> 03:57:07,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: than assumed,

3959
03:57:07,940 --> 03:57:09,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: what would be the government's course

3960
03:57:09,940 --> 03:57:11,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: of action? Kasi,

3961
03:57:11,940 --> 03:57:13,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: kasi hindi,

3962
03:57:13,940 --> 03:57:15,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: bukod sa 7.2 trillion

3963
03:57:15,940 --> 03:57:17,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: na yung ating

3964
03:57:17,940 --> 03:57:19,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: budget proposal,

3965
03:57:19,940 --> 03:57:21,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ang kaya lang natin

3966
03:57:21,940 --> 03:57:23,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: na i-generate na

3967
03:57:23,940 --> 03:57:25,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: revenue is 5.2.

3968
03:57:25,940 --> 03:57:27,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, short na kagad tayo ng 2 billion.

3969
03:57:27,940 --> 03:57:29,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pagka yung 5.2 pa,

3970
03:57:29,940 --> 03:57:31,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: hindi ma-iabot, hindi

3971
03:57:31,940 --> 03:57:33,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: natin ma-achieve, mas malaking problema.

3972
03:57:35,940 --> 03:57:37,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, we understand, Mr. Speaker.

3973
03:57:37,940 --> 03:57:39,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Actually, Mr. Speaker, this is just

3974
03:57:39,940 --> 03:57:41,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: an ongoing assessment kasi we're trying to

3975
03:57:41,940 --> 03:57:43,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: project for the possible, based

3976
03:57:43,940 --> 03:57:45,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: on the NEP talaga, may meron talagang kulang.

3977
03:57:45,940 --> 03:57:47,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But again, apart from

3978
03:57:47,940 --> 03:57:49,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the solution that

3979
03:57:49,940 --> 03:57:51,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we are, that the DOF

3980
03:57:51,940 --> 03:57:53,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is trying to formulate, kasi

3981
03:57:53,940 --> 03:57:55,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: quarterly, nag-me-meet naman po, again,

3982
03:57:55,940 --> 03:57:57,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: this is not only a DOF's

3983
03:57:57,940 --> 03:57:59,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: concern, it also involves our other

3984
03:57:59,940 --> 03:58:01,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: agencies involved in fiscal, in

3985
03:58:01,940 --> 03:58:03,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: managing our fiscal situation,

3986
03:58:03,940 --> 03:58:05,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker. So, the DBCC meets

3987
03:58:05,940 --> 03:58:07,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: quarterly naman po to discuss

3988
03:58:07,940 --> 03:58:09,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: about how to

3989
03:58:09,940 --> 03:58:11,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: really assist

3990
03:58:11,940 --> 03:58:13,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and make sure

3991
03:58:13,940 --> 03:58:15,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that the macroeconomic assumptions

3992
03:58:15,940 --> 03:58:17,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: will be the targets, will be

3993
03:58:17,940 --> 03:58:19,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: achieved, and will be, ano,

3994
03:58:19,940 --> 03:58:21,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: can be

3995
03:58:21,940 --> 03:58:23,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: obtained, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

3996
03:58:23,940 --> 03:58:25,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, as I've mentioned, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor,

3997
03:58:25,940 --> 03:58:27,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: based on the macro assumptions, meron nga po tayong

3998
03:58:27,940 --> 03:58:29,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: possible

3999
03:58:29,940 --> 03:58:31,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na mga incomes

4000
03:58:33,940 --> 03:58:35,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na mga po pwede po nating,

4001
03:58:35,940 --> 03:58:37,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: anibawa, yung

4002
03:58:37,940 --> 03:58:39,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: growth rate po, Mr. Speaker, as I've cited

4003
03:58:39,940 --> 03:58:41,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: earlier po. So, regularly po

4004
03:58:41,940 --> 03:58:43,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nag-me-meet ang ating DBCC para

4005
03:58:43,940 --> 03:58:45,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: makita kung ano yung

4006
03:58:45,940 --> 03:58:47,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: achievable dito po sa mga micro

4007
03:58:47,940 --> 03:58:49,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: economic assumptions po natin

4008
03:58:49,940 --> 03:58:51,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para po doon sa

4009
03:58:51,940 --> 03:58:53,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kinakailangan pang

4010
03:58:53,940 --> 03:58:55,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pagkunan ng revenue

4011
03:58:55,940 --> 03:58:57,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para ma-reach po natin yung

4012
03:58:57,940 --> 03:58:59,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: necessary expenditures ng ating government

4013
03:58:59,940 --> 03:59:01,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as versus doon sa actual

4014
03:59:01,940 --> 03:59:03,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: collection po natin na nakukuha,

4015
03:59:03,740 --> 03:59:04,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

4016
03:59:04,780 --> 03:59:05,280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay,

4017
03:59:05,280 --> 03:59:07,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, ito

4018
03:59:07,940 --> 03:59:09,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: kasi yung ano, and this is where I'm coming from,

4019
03:59:09,940 --> 03:59:11,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: for 2027 government

4020
03:59:11,940 --> 03:59:13,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: presently programs

4021
03:59:13,940 --> 03:59:15,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 5.2 trillion

4022
03:59:15,940 --> 03:59:17,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: revenues, as mentioned earlier,

4023
03:59:17,940 --> 03:59:19,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: pero meron tayong disbursements na

4024
03:59:19,940 --> 03:59:21,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 6.9 trillion.

4025
03:59:21,940 --> 03:59:23,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, yun pa lang, there would be a budget

4026
03:59:23,940 --> 03:59:25,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: deficit of 1.69

4027
03:59:25,940 --> 03:59:27,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: trillion.

4028
03:59:27,940 --> 03:59:29,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: That this deficit is already 5.1

4029
03:59:29,940 --> 03:59:31,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: of projected GDP.

4030
03:59:31,940 --> 03:59:33,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Weak growth creates pressure

4031
03:59:33,940 --> 03:59:35,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: from both directions. First,

4032
03:59:35,940 --> 03:59:37,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: revenues can underperform. Second,

4033
03:59:37,940 --> 03:59:39,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the denominator to GDP

4034
03:59:39,940 --> 03:59:41,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: is smaller than expected.

4035
03:59:41,940 --> 03:59:43,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, what will happen to the

4036
03:59:43,940 --> 03:59:45,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: expenditure program of the

4037
03:59:45,940 --> 03:59:47,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: government when the

4038
03:59:47,940 --> 03:59:49,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: macro assumptions which we are using

4039
03:59:49,940 --> 03:59:51,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: fails?

4040
03:59:51,940 --> 03:59:53,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, do we

4041
03:59:53,940 --> 03:59:55,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: impose new taxes?

4042
03:59:55,940 --> 03:59:57,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Do we cut on government

4043
03:59:57,940 --> 03:59:59,940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: spending? So, anong mga

4044
04:00:00,000 --> 04:00:08,280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Anong programa, anong activity, anong pagkagagastos na ng gobyerno ang ihinto natin or mangungutang ba tayo ulit?

4045
04:00:09,340 --> 04:00:14,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, Mr. Speaker, that's what we intend to do. We will maximize the non-tax revenue.

4046
04:00:14,140 --> 04:00:37,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We would also increase the dividend rate from 50% to 75% in order that we can actually guarantee a possible actualization of these microeconomic assumptions, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

4047
04:00:37,920 --> 04:00:41,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And apart from that, of course, baka mag-ano tayo.

4048
04:00:41,880 --> 04:00:43,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yung ano po, yung...

4049
04:00:44,140 --> 04:00:50,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yung privatization na tinitingnan po natin as earlier mentioned, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

4050
04:00:51,040 --> 04:00:56,220
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: How much would those generate? For example, yung increasing non-tax revenues.

4051
04:00:56,360 --> 04:01:01,140
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ang collection from non-tax revenues natin, ang expected natin is just 2.52 point...

4052
04:01:01,700 --> 04:01:06,040
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Well, isa na natin, 2.53 billion. Malit lang ito.

4053
04:01:06,700 --> 04:01:10,440
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kahit na... How much more can we increase this?

4054
04:01:11,060 --> 04:01:13,880
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Yung privatization natin, how much more would it...

4055
04:01:13,880 --> 04:01:15,180
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Would it be able to generate?

4056
04:01:16,480 --> 04:01:21,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, again, Mr. Speaker, there are a lot of venues where we can actually generate.

4057
04:01:21,340 --> 04:01:33,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But again, we are also looking at, DOF is also looking at, possibly, kung hindi talaga kaya na yung nage-generate natin ng non-tax and tax revenues,

4058
04:01:33,900 --> 04:01:36,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: talagang mag-incur po tayo into additional borrowing.

4059
04:01:37,500 --> 04:01:43,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yun lamang po talaga yung paano mo talaga kung how do we finance these government expenditures that we actually...

4060
04:01:43,720 --> 04:01:46,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we expected versus the revenue that we collect.

4061
04:01:46,980 --> 04:01:51,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, meron din talaga hong deficit. We don't deny that, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

4062
04:01:51,620 --> 04:01:56,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: That's why we are very much aggressive in coming up with these assumptions

4063
04:01:56,880 --> 04:02:03,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and with partnering also with the possibility of identifying yung non-tax revenue

4064
04:02:03,860 --> 04:02:11,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and yung tax revenue na nakakolekta po natin with the inter-dividends interest of raising it to 75%

4065
04:02:11,140 --> 04:02:13,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para to compensate with the much-needed...

4066
04:02:13,720 --> 04:02:17,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: much-needed po na revenue na para ma...

4067
04:02:17,340 --> 04:02:23,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at least mag-close po natin yung gap doon sa deficit na sinasabi po ng ating kagalang-galang na interpellator, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

4068
04:02:24,500 --> 04:02:26,120
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

4069
04:02:26,300 --> 04:02:34,340
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kasi going into 2027 with the backdrop of our current economic position,

4070
04:02:34,340 --> 04:02:41,340
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: wouldn't it be more prudent to propose a lower national government...

4071
04:02:43,720 --> 04:02:47,120
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: a lower budget proposal?

4072
04:02:47,120 --> 04:02:49,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Spending, spending. Again, Mr. Speaker...

4073
04:02:49,440 --> 04:02:55,320
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kasi baka masyado tayong ma-off sa ating target.

4074
04:02:55,520 --> 04:03:03,580
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, prudence would dictate that a lower budget proposal be approved by Congress.

4075
04:03:04,120 --> 04:03:09,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now, ganito po, kagaya ng sinabi ko sa inyo kanina, we still have to bridge the gap.

4076
04:03:09,100 --> 04:03:12,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 7.2 trillion proposal, 5.2...

4077
04:03:13,720 --> 04:03:22,240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Trillion naman yung revenues which our tax and untaxed revenue sources could generate.

4078
04:03:22,420 --> 04:03:24,260
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, may kulang tayong 2 billion.

4079
04:03:25,460 --> 04:03:29,460
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now, how do we plan to bridge this gap?

4080
04:03:30,540 --> 04:03:31,640
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: We will secure a loan.

4081
04:03:31,960 --> 04:03:36,120
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Narinig kong pinag-usapan nyo kanina ni Congressman Erice that there would be...

4082
04:03:36,120 --> 04:03:43,700
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the government will secure about 3.4 trillion in loans to be able to bridge the gap.

4083
04:03:43,720 --> 04:03:44,580
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Would that be correct?

4084
04:03:45,480 --> 04:03:46,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Let me go back to the...

4085
04:03:46,680 --> 04:03:50,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Then we go back to the exact figures, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

4086
04:03:51,320 --> 04:03:54,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero ang alam ko, based on sinabi ko po sa inyo,

4087
04:03:55,240 --> 04:03:59,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: there's really that intention to be aggressive about...

4088
04:04:00,380 --> 04:04:02,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: You know, loan is just the last thing that we need to...

4089
04:04:02,780 --> 04:04:07,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We need to contemplate on and actually get.

4090
04:04:08,200 --> 04:04:09,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I mean, bangutang.

4091
04:04:09,300 --> 04:04:12,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero hindi naman po lahat nung sinasabing...

4092
04:04:13,720 --> 04:04:18,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Medyo magkaroon ng austerity measure ang spending ng government.

4093
04:04:18,860 --> 04:04:27,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think it is not necessarily translate into a prudent economic management kung lower yung government spending.

4094
04:04:27,780 --> 04:04:32,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think part of also boosting the economy is also proper.

4095
04:04:32,940 --> 04:04:34,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I mean, spending, government spending.

4096
04:04:34,520 --> 04:04:43,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It's just a matter of making it directly proper, directed to a specific program that would really add up to...

4097
04:04:43,720 --> 04:04:46,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the entire economic activity of the country.

4098
04:04:46,580 --> 04:04:53,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, hindi naman po dapat, I think, sa aking palagay, magkaroon ng austerity measure in terms of spending.

4099
04:04:53,700 --> 04:04:58,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, public spending should be encouraged.

4100
04:04:58,560 --> 04:05:03,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Only that, it should be well-implemented, well-targeted, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor,

4101
04:05:03,780 --> 04:05:05,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang pag-implementan ng mga programa.

4102
04:05:05,240 --> 04:05:10,460
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay. Yung dalawang aspeto, sabi mo yung sa loan muna, dadako muna ako sa loan,

4103
04:05:11,060 --> 04:05:13,240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: that we do not intend to secure a loan.

4104
04:05:13,720 --> 04:05:21,240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: We are securing a loan to bridge the gap between the 5.2 revenue and the 7.2 budget proposal.

4105
04:05:22,320 --> 04:05:30,240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero doon, kita mo, doon sa ating borrowing sa 3.3 trillion, paano yung magiging breakdown nito?

4106
04:05:30,840 --> 04:05:40,620
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Doon sa ating fiscal program, 7.2 trillion is the proposed budget, 6.9 trillion projected cash disbursement,

4107
04:05:41,280 --> 04:05:43,480
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 5.2 trillion projected revenues.

4108
04:05:43,720 --> 04:05:49,620
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kung tama, there will be a fiscal deficit, as I mentioned earlier, of around 1.6 trillion.

4109
04:05:51,200 --> 04:05:54,580
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Gross borrowing, ito yung utangin natin, 3.3 trillion.

4110
04:05:54,580 --> 04:06:04,680
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now, doon sa 3.3 trillion, how much will be used for principal amortization?

4111
04:06:06,720 --> 04:06:12,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Okay. Ito po ang 1.34 trillion po.

4112
04:06:13,720 --> 04:06:20,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Okay. 1.34 trillion to pay the maturing domestic debt obligation.

4113
04:06:20,720 --> 04:06:22,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ito po yung tinatanong yung amortization.

4114
04:06:23,320 --> 04:06:30,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: At meron pong 254 billion pesos to refinance po yung maturing external debt obligations po natin.

4115
04:06:33,120 --> 04:06:34,740
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, that's about how much?

4116
04:06:35,500 --> 04:06:37,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: You want the total, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor?

4117
04:06:37,480 --> 04:06:39,600
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ito ah, if we have our figures correct.

4118
04:06:39,600 --> 04:06:41,600
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ewan ko, bakit [unclear] yung figures natin?

4119
04:06:41,640 --> 04:06:43,260
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Principal amortization is

4120
04:06:43,260 --> 04:06:44,880
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 1.59 trillion.

4121
04:06:45,500 --> 04:06:46,080
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Is that correct?

4122
04:06:46,340 --> 04:06:47,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 1.34

4123
04:06:47,480 --> 04:06:50,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Plus 254 billion.

4124
04:06:50,900 --> 04:06:51,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, pareho po.

4125
04:06:51,760 --> 04:06:54,460
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Then, magkano naman for net financing?

4126
04:06:55,720 --> 04:06:58,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 1.69 trillion pesos po.

4127
04:06:58,480 --> 04:06:59,780
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay. So, roughly,

4128
04:07:01,360 --> 04:07:01,880
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: roughly,

4129
04:07:03,400 --> 04:07:04,420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: doon sa ating,

4130
04:07:04,420 --> 04:07:08,720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: sa ating ihirami na pera,

4131
04:07:10,480 --> 04:07:13,620
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: halos lahat nito magagamit natin for,

4132
04:07:13,720 --> 04:07:18,720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: debt servicing and principal amortization.

4133
04:07:18,720 --> 04:07:21,620
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Well, financing and amortization, doon maubos.

4134
04:07:22,120 --> 04:07:27,700
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now, nabanggit mo kanina is that we also need to be able to prime the economy.

4135
04:07:28,840 --> 04:07:32,120
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Sabi mo nga, importante rin yung government spending.

4136
04:07:32,620 --> 04:07:36,980
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: But, the implications of government consumption,

4137
04:07:37,480 --> 04:07:43,700
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: assuming that there would be a temporary increase in government spending,

4138
04:07:43,720 --> 04:07:50,720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: we cannot rely on it wholly to support yung ating GDP.

4139
04:07:51,020 --> 04:07:51,520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Because yung,

4140
04:07:52,540 --> 04:07:58,200
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: we also have to look towards the long-term capacity to finance a 7.2 trillion budget eh.

4141
04:07:58,820 --> 04:07:59,720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Through substantial investment.

4142
04:08:00,580 --> 04:08:01,220
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Coming from,

4143
04:08:01,340 --> 04:08:03,740
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: from other sources.

4144
04:08:03,920 --> 04:08:05,720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Hindi pwede yung gobyerno lang ang kumikita.

4145
04:08:07,260 --> 04:08:12,720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Dahil nga yung ating ekonomiya is not naman an export-driven economy.

4146
04:08:12,720 --> 04:08:13,080
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: We are,

4147
04:08:13,080 --> 04:08:13,700
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: we are,

4148
04:08:13,720 --> 04:08:15,660
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: we are a consumption-driven economy.

4149
04:08:15,960 --> 04:08:18,460
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And pagka yung gobyerno lang ang gumagastos,

4150
04:08:19,020 --> 04:08:24,260
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: it doesn't really improve yung ating situation.

4151
04:08:24,480 --> 04:08:25,720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ang concern ko ah,

4152
04:08:27,720 --> 04:08:28,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: we will,

4153
04:08:29,160 --> 04:08:34,460
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: our debt is already pegged at 19.39 trillion by the end of July 2026.

4154
04:08:34,580 --> 04:08:37,100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: The problem with the slower GDP growth is,

4155
04:08:37,760 --> 04:08:38,500
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: matematical,

4156
04:08:38,640 --> 04:08:40,320
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the debt stock can continue increasing

4157
04:08:40,320 --> 04:08:43,060
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: while the economy against which that debt is measured,

4158
04:08:43,060 --> 04:08:44,400
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: grows more slowly.

4159
04:08:45,100 --> 04:08:50,160
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So the government's fiscal strategy assumes eventual consolidation.

4160
04:08:51,140 --> 04:08:55,640
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: The deficit is supposed to decline from 5.4 GDP in 2026,

4161
04:08:55,640 --> 04:08:57,180
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 5.1 in 2027,

4162
04:08:57,860 --> 04:09:00,140
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: and then 3.5 by 2030.

4163
04:09:00,140 --> 04:09:00,640
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero,

4164
04:09:01,080 --> 04:09:04,640
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: how do we concretely achieve this?

4165
04:09:05,980 --> 04:09:07,060
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: These projections?

4166
04:09:07,980 --> 04:09:08,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ah, well,

4167
04:09:08,760 --> 04:09:09,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: well,

4168
04:09:09,760 --> 04:09:11,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang siyang position po talaga,

4169
04:09:11,880 --> 04:09:12,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang position po,

4170
04:09:12,600 --> 04:09:13,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker,

4171
04:09:13,060 --> 04:09:14,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng DOF is that

4172
04:09:14,060 --> 04:09:17,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we really need to get to be more

4173
04:09:17,200 --> 04:09:20,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: into government spending

4174
04:09:20,240 --> 04:09:24,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para po matulungan ang ating bansa

4175
04:09:24,140 --> 04:09:25,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa paglago po ng ekonomiya.

4176
04:09:26,620 --> 04:09:28,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think just to specifically cite just an example,

4177
04:09:29,520 --> 04:09:33,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: part of that also is to get more aggressive in the capital investment,

4178
04:09:34,040 --> 04:09:34,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: alimbawa sa per,

4179
04:09:35,040 --> 04:09:36,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: per, ano,

4180
04:09:36,700 --> 04:09:37,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: per agencies,

4181
04:09:37,760 --> 04:09:40,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para po makapag-boost po ng local economy.

4182
04:09:40,680 --> 04:09:41,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think in the macro,

4183
04:09:43,060 --> 04:09:44,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: macro analysis of things,

4184
04:09:44,920 --> 04:09:45,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: no,

4185
04:09:45,180 --> 04:09:47,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: when it comes to boosting the local trade is

4186
04:09:47,200 --> 04:09:50,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to be more aggressive in government spending.

4187
04:09:50,320 --> 04:09:51,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: At nakita naman po datin yan,

4188
04:09:51,760 --> 04:09:52,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: based on the macro assumption,

4189
04:09:53,520 --> 04:09:54,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as we get the target,

4190
04:09:54,720 --> 04:09:57,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: bumaba ba naman po yung ating debt to GDP,

4191
04:09:58,140 --> 04:09:58,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: no,

4192
04:09:58,280 --> 04:09:58,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: over the years.

4193
04:09:58,900 --> 04:09:59,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So,

4194
04:09:59,600 --> 04:10:00,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we hope that,

4195
04:10:00,680 --> 04:10:00,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: again,

4196
04:10:01,160 --> 04:10:03,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kung hindi po natin ito gagastusin

4197
04:10:03,860 --> 04:10:05,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: o hindi gagastus ng mas aggressive,

4198
04:10:06,080 --> 04:10:07,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang paniwala po ng ating

4199
04:10:08,380 --> 04:10:09,660
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Please wind up,

4200
04:10:09,760 --> 04:10:10,100
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: honorable,

4201
04:10:10,100 --> 04:10:11,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: D.O.S.

4202
04:10:11,540 --> 04:10:11,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mas,

4203
04:10:11,660 --> 04:10:12,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: mas hindi po,

4204
04:10:12,780 --> 04:10:14,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: mag-slow down po nga ang ating growth

4205
04:10:14,540 --> 04:10:17,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at hindi po natin masosolve talaga yung pinaka-problema,

4206
04:10:17,320 --> 04:10:18,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: which is to bring down

4207
04:10:18,340 --> 04:10:20,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the debt to GDP,

4208
04:10:21,080 --> 04:10:21,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker,

4209
04:10:21,600 --> 04:10:21,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Your Honor.

4210
04:10:22,300 --> 04:10:22,800
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay, but,

4211
04:10:23,800 --> 04:10:24,060
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: well,

4212
04:10:24,200 --> 04:10:25,380
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: as I mentioned,

4213
04:10:26,200 --> 04:10:26,360
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: well,

4214
04:10:26,600 --> 04:10:26,840
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: this,

4215
04:10:29,380 --> 04:10:32,380
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the real data going into 2027

4216
04:10:32,380 --> 04:10:36,820
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: actually is a cautionary tale for us

4217
04:10:36,820 --> 04:10:39,560
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: that we have to be more prudent

4218
04:10:39,560 --> 04:10:41,760
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: in our expenditure program

4219
04:10:41,760 --> 04:10:42,720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: and in the proportionality,

4220
04:10:42,780 --> 04:10:44,540
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: in the proposed budget that we will approve.

4221
04:10:44,540 --> 04:10:48,280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Considering that the not so rosy economic outlook,

4222
04:10:48,280 --> 04:10:49,840
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: kaya nga sinasabi ko,

4223
04:10:50,380 --> 04:10:53,780
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: maybe we should act more prudently.

4224
04:10:54,300 --> 04:10:57,240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay lang naman talaga to run a budget deficit.

4225
04:10:57,780 --> 04:10:59,280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay lang to secure loans.

4226
04:10:59,420 --> 04:11:00,080
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: But, for example,

4227
04:11:00,220 --> 04:11:01,260
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the loan that we secured,

4228
04:11:01,820 --> 04:11:02,460
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: as I mentioned,

4229
04:11:03,560 --> 04:11:06,260
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: a big portion of it will fall to debt servicing,

4230
04:11:06,260 --> 04:11:07,260
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: not really to,

4231
04:11:09,200 --> 04:11:11,540
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: on projects that will help pump prime the economy,

4232
04:11:11,940 --> 04:11:12,200
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: that will,

4233
04:11:12,780 --> 04:11:14,080
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: supposedly,

4234
04:11:14,640 --> 04:11:15,740
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: kung doon mapupunta,

4235
04:11:15,860 --> 04:11:16,980
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: would be an additional,

4236
04:11:17,280 --> 04:11:19,460
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: maybe a source of revenues for our country.

4237
04:11:20,100 --> 04:11:20,780
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now, ito lang po,

4238
04:11:20,840 --> 04:11:21,520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: idadagdag ko.

4239
04:11:22,020 --> 04:11:22,640
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Last question.

4240
04:11:23,000 --> 04:11:23,400

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: habang nakatayo ako dito.

4245
04:11:34,940 --> 04:11:35,280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ito yung

4247

4248
04:11:40,600 --> 04:11:42,060
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: in the LEDAC,

4249
04:11:42,060 --> 04:11:43,740
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Common Legislative Agenda,

4250

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: proposing the suspension,

4252
04:11:48,560 --> 04:11:48,960

04:19:21,540 --> 04:19:21,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes po.

4392
04:19:21,900 --> 04:19:30,740
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ang remarkable lang po sa akin dito, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, ay it's been existent for how many years now?

4393
04:19:31,980 --> 04:19:44,160
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 15, 16? Tapos ngayon pa lang po umabot ng 568 million. So tama po noon na report niyo, 36%. Ito po yung current utilization rate ng 1 billion pesos.

4394
04:19:45,040 --> 04:19:46,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, that's correct po, Mrs. Speaker.

4395
04:19:46,780 --> 04:19:50,840
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ilang beses na po ba na-replenish yung People's Survival Fund?

4396
04:19:50,840 --> 04:20:13,740
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ayon po kasi sa batas, maaari po siyang ma-replenish. So ang 1 billion, ito po yung starting amount, and meron pong provision which says that hindi po dapat bababa sa 1 billion yung nasa laman ng People's Survival Fund.

4397
04:20:14,520 --> 04:20:18,560
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So ilang beses na po ba siya na-replenish, if at all, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor?

4398
04:20:18,960 --> 04:20:19,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, that's correct.

4399
04:20:19,480 --> 04:20:32,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, Mrs. Speaker, dahil ito ay cumulative, Mrs. Speaker, depende rin po dun sa disbursement kasi nga may process talaga ito mag-avail. So starting from its implementation, more than 3 times na po na-replenish itong pondo na ito.

4400
04:20:32,920 --> 04:20:37,240
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: More than 3 times na po na-replenish. Magkano na po siya ngayon, Mrs. Speaker, good sponsor?

4401
04:20:39,240 --> 04:20:48,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 1.5. To be exact, 1.548 million and 59,000, Mrs. Speaker, your honor.

4402
04:20:49,480 --> 04:21:05,400
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So ano po rin yung sources ng replenishment na ito? Ito po ba ay galing sa budget primarily or meron po ba itong donations na nakakuha, dito po nilagay, as per law, na maaari naman pong mangyari?

4403
04:21:05,920 --> 04:21:13,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So the General Appropriations Act lang po, Mrs. Speaker, ang sources ng replenishment itong pondo na ito, Mrs. Speaker, your honor. Wala pong ibang other sources.

4404
04:21:13,520 --> 04:21:14,200
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Okay.

4405
04:21:14,460 --> 04:21:28,000
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Maaari po bang magsumiti ang ahensya kung ano po yung mga proyektong na-disbursan ng People's Survival Fund for the past years of its existence? Would that be possible po?

4406
04:21:28,000 --> 04:21:41,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes po. Magbibigay po kami ng kaukulang datos simula po itong nagumpisa, implementation nito. At kung sino po yung naka-avail nito at nabigyan itong assistance na ito, Mrs. Speaker, your honor.

4407
04:21:42,020 --> 04:21:48,720
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, tinatanong po natin ito dahil simula noong napasa.

4408
04:21:49,480 --> 04:22:05,280
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Yung Climate Change Act noong 2009 at napasa yung amendments nito that established the People's Survival Fund noong 2012, noong marami pong tumingin dito sa adaptation fund na ito, no, essentially, no, domestic adaptation fund.

4409
04:22:05,280 --> 04:22:18,180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Para po ang iba't ibang mga LGU, kahit mga community organizations, civil society organizations, magawa nila yung iba't ibang advokasya nila sa pangklima.

4410
04:22:19,480 --> 04:22:41,200
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: to resist climate change by applying, no, for a grant or for disbursement here. Ngunit, the knowledge that only 568 million has been disbursed in more than 15 years, for me, ay hindi natin na ma-maximize yung People's Survival Fund.

4411
04:22:41,200 --> 04:22:49,460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Sa ideal, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, kung nagagawa natin na ma-exhaust yung 1 billion sa isang taon,

4412
04:22:49,480 --> 04:23:03,480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: basta na-insure po ng DOF, ng Climate Change Commission, ng mga iba't ibang ahensya, kahit ng DBM po, no, na lahat po ng nagagrantan nito ay naayon sa National Climate Action Plan

4413
04:23:03,480 --> 04:23:13,660
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: at talagang may na-me-measure na tangible effects para mapigilan yung climate change, ay that's 1 billion pesos well spent, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.

4414
04:23:13,660 --> 04:23:18,220
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, ang tanong po natin, bakit po for 15 years or more?

4415
04:23:19,480 --> 04:23:21,480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 568 million lang yung na-disburst niya.

4416
04:23:22,000 --> 04:23:30,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, unang-una po, Mrs. Speaker, sabi ko na sa advance po sa sinasabi namin na meron po talagang proseso ito, kung paano po ito maka-avail at the same time.

4417
04:23:31,740 --> 04:23:42,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yung replenishment naman po ito is based on, yung cumulative nga po yung pag-release as what the data says, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

4418
04:23:43,480 --> 04:23:48,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ngayong tindihan po namin, in fact, sinasuportahan po natin ng DOF yung katayuan.

4419
04:23:49,480 --> 04:23:54,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yung position po ng ating kagalang-galang na interpolator dahil I think we also need to do more.

4420
04:23:55,000 --> 04:24:03,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kasi this is something that, this is a funding that really goes straight to the protection of our environment.

4421
04:24:03,600 --> 04:24:13,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, kami po ang Department of Finance nakikiisa po kung anuman po yung mga programa na maaaring mas mapaganda at mapabilis yung usage na ito.

4422
04:24:13,940 --> 04:24:17,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero again, depending on the actual number of LGS, would really avail.

4423
04:24:18,000 --> 04:24:18,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: request

4424
04:24:18,980 --> 04:24:19,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: for

4425
04:24:19,480 --> 04:24:21,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: such funding. Doon naman po

4426
04:24:21,640 --> 04:24:23,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nakadepende ito ang releases

4427
04:24:23,480 --> 04:24:25,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at yung utilization ng pondo na ito.

4428
04:24:25,920 --> 04:24:27,280
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

4429
04:24:27,620 --> 04:24:29,340
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: natutuwa po tayo na marinig yun.

4430
04:24:29,940 --> 04:24:31,840
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ngunit, kung itatambal

4431
04:24:31,840 --> 04:24:33,200
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: po natin siya sa mga

4432
04:24:33,200 --> 04:24:34,920
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: accounts ng mga

4433
04:24:34,920 --> 04:24:37,060
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: civil society organizations,

4434
04:24:37,480 --> 04:24:39,020
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang reports po nila

4435
04:24:39,020 --> 04:24:41,100
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ay ang very

4436
04:24:41,100 --> 04:24:43,080
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: stringent yung requirements for project

4437
04:24:43,080 --> 04:24:45,400
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: proposals. It needs extensive

4438
04:24:45,400 --> 04:24:46,640
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: technical studies

4439
04:24:46,640 --> 04:24:48,920
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and overwhelming documentary compliance

4440
04:24:49,480 --> 04:24:51,620
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: effectively locking out poor

4441
04:24:51,620 --> 04:24:53,580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: municipalities and people's

4442
04:24:53,580 --> 04:24:55,580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: organizations that lack the

4443
04:24:55,580 --> 04:24:57,480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: capacity to hire technical

4444
04:24:57,480 --> 04:24:59,600
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: consultants. Kung hindi po natin

4445
04:24:59,600 --> 04:25:01,020
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: nagagamit yung

4446
04:25:01,020 --> 04:25:03,640

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: doon sa mga stated purposes niya,

4448
04:25:05,400 --> 04:25:06,600
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang risk po nito

4449
04:25:06,600 --> 04:25:09,180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ay natutulog lang yung

4450
04:25:09,180 --> 04:25:11,300
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pondo na ito na sana po

4451
04:25:11,300 --> 04:25:12,960

04:25:12,960 --> 04:25:14,820

4453
04:25:14,820 --> 04:25:17,360

04:25:19,240 --> 04:25:19,460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: sana.

4456
04:25:19,480 --> 04:25:21,420
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Hindi mabaha ang mga iba't-ibang

4457
04:25:21,420 --> 04:25:23,900
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: komunidad na mas maraming

4458

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: climate change at kung ano man pong

4461
04:25:29,580 --> 04:25:31,480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: mga iba't-ibang endeavors pwede natin

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: climate crisis ngayon.

4465
04:25:38,060 --> 04:25:39,720
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, siguro ang tanong natin,

4466
04:25:40,180 --> 04:25:41,400
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

4467

04:27:36,480 --> 04:27:37,260

4525
04:27:37,260 --> 04:27:38,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Department of Finance na makinig

4526
04:27:38,780 --> 04:27:41,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa kinatawan

4527
04:27:41,660 --> 04:27:42,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng kabataang party list.

4528
04:27:43,180 --> 04:27:44,500

04:27:47,380 --> 04:27:49,080
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: bago po tayo mag-proceed sa ating

4531
04:27:49,080 --> 04:27:49,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: manifestasyon.

4532
04:27:51,860 --> 04:27:53,100
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Nasabi po naman na

4533
04:27:53,100 --> 04:27:54,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: nasa website ang iba't-ibang

4534
04:27:54,860 --> 04:27:56,460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: mga proseso, pero I think

4535
04:27:56,460 --> 04:27:58,900
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: we can all attest

4536
04:27:58,900 --> 04:28:00,920
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na kahit anong kaganda ng website

4537
04:28:00,920 --> 04:28:02,640
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: natin, ako po, nabisita ko yung

4538
04:28:02,640 --> 04:28:04,840
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: website ng PSF sa

4539
04:28:04,840 --> 04:28:06,800
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: DOF, pero hindi pa rin

4540
04:28:06,800 --> 04:28:08,740
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: nakahikayat, yun po yung reality, na mas

4541
04:28:08,740 --> 04:28:10,760
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: maraming makapag-apply, no,

4542
04:28:11,120 --> 04:28:12,880
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na makakuha ng

4543
04:28:12,880 --> 04:28:14,940
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: disbursement sa People's Survival

4544
04:28:14,940 --> 04:28:16,900
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Fund na makakabuti sana sa

4545
04:28:16,900 --> 04:28:18,960
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: mga komunidad. Ano po bang mga nakikitang

4546
04:28:18,960 --> 04:28:21,320
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: bottlenecks ng

4547
04:28:21,320 --> 04:28:23,240
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: DOF sa paggamit

4548
04:28:23,240 --> 04:28:25,300
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng People's Survival Fund, if any?

4549
04:28:25,600 --> 04:28:27,140
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ano po bang commitment or ano po

4550
04:28:27,140 --> 04:28:28,940

4551
04:28:28,940 --> 04:28:30,660
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ma-resolve yung bottlenecks na ito?

4552
04:28:48,960 --> 04:28:52,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, okay, so

4553
04:28:52,460 --> 04:28:54,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa kasalukuyin po,

4554
04:28:54,700 --> 04:28:56,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ini-improve po talaga itong

4555
04:28:56,400 --> 04:28:58,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: programang ito,

4556
04:28:58,580 --> 04:29:00,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nakikipag-ugnayan po ang Department of

4557
04:29:00,900 --> 04:29:02,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Finance sa DBP.

4558
04:29:06,860 --> 04:29:08,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Development Bank of the Philippines

4559
04:29:08,780 --> 04:29:11,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para po ma-streamline

4560
04:29:11,040 --> 04:29:11,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: po yung processes,

4561
04:29:12,760 --> 04:29:14,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at the same time ay mas mapabilis

4562
04:29:15,580 --> 04:29:16,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: yung releases,

4563
04:29:16,240 --> 04:29:18,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at the same time, hindi ma-compromise po yung

4564
04:29:18,920 --> 04:29:20,660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: quality ng mga programa

4565
04:29:20,660 --> 04:29:22,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng nais isagawa nitong mga

4566
04:29:22,780 --> 04:29:24,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: LGUs na nais po mag-partake

4567
04:29:24,960 --> 04:29:26,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng itong pondo na ito, Mrs. Speaker.

4568
04:29:26,860 --> 04:29:28,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So it's an ongoing adjustment

4569
04:29:28,860 --> 04:29:30,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as well as improvement, Mrs. Speaker, on the

4570
04:29:30,980 --> 04:29:33,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: process itself, and the releases of

4571
04:29:33,020 --> 04:29:34,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: these funds, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

4572
04:29:34,900 --> 04:29:37,340
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,

4573
04:29:37,880 --> 04:29:39,000
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: mahingi na lang po tayo

4574
04:29:39,000 --> 04:29:41,000
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng kopya ng list of

4575
04:29:41,000 --> 04:29:42,420
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: recommendations or reports

4576
04:29:42,420 --> 04:29:44,940
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na ito yung sa

4577
04:29:44,940 --> 04:29:46,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: DOF, no, na

4578
04:29:46,820 --> 04:29:48,880
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pagtingin nila na bottle

4579
04:29:48,920 --> 04:29:50,620
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: necks, at kung ano po

4580
04:29:50,620 --> 04:29:52,580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang nire-resolva pa nila kasama ng

4581
04:29:52,580 --> 04:29:54,660
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: DBP para mas marami po

4582
04:29:54,660 --> 04:29:56,300
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang maka-access nito sa puno't dulo.

4583
04:29:56,760 --> 04:29:58,700
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Magbibigay din po ng listahan

4584
04:29:58,700 --> 04:29:59,700
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng mga rekomendasyon.

4585
04:30:00,000 --> 04:30:04,540
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang kinatawan na ito at the proper time and avenue.

4586
04:30:04,540 --> 04:30:09,920
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Pero siguro, I open this up on the floor, Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

4587
04:30:10,060 --> 04:30:15,480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: because ito yung mga isapin kapag pinag-uusapan natin yung climate finance.

4588
04:30:16,520 --> 04:30:21,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Meron tayong commitments sa Paris Agreement, gusto natin ma-actualize sila,

4589
04:30:21,760 --> 04:30:26,640
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pero pagdating naman po sa paglalabas talaga ng pera para ma-actualize ito,

4590
04:30:26,640 --> 04:30:31,340
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ayaw natin nang mabagal sila, o kaya naman ay hindi naman mangyayari

4591
04:30:31,340 --> 04:30:35,620
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: dahil po it will end up in paperwork hell.

4592
04:30:36,160 --> 04:30:42,080
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, ang dulo naman po nito, gusto natin at the end of it ay mas madali,

4593
04:30:42,620 --> 04:30:48,080
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pero tama pa rin yung accountability na ma-access yung People's Survival Fund.

4594
04:30:48,480 --> 04:30:54,580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And I'd like to put on the record that I think going into 2027,

4595
04:30:54,580 --> 04:31:03,280
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: dapat po mas hands-on tayo sa pag-disperse nito or even paggamit nito bilang mekanismo,

4596
04:31:03,700 --> 04:31:05,420
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: papalapit na ang Super El Niño.

4597
04:31:06,040 --> 04:31:11,720
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, ang maaari po natin gawin, this representation adopts the recommendation of Action Klima

4598
04:31:11,720 --> 04:31:18,380
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na dapat the People's Survival Fund should open a fast-track window for El Niño responsive projects

4599
04:31:18,380 --> 04:31:23,760
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: with its board possibly designating half of its current budget for more rapid disbursement

4600
04:31:23,760 --> 04:31:24,460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: through a simplified

4601
04:31:24,800 --> 04:31:26,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: application process and project cycle.

4602
04:31:27,440 --> 04:31:30,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Fifth and sixth class municipalities in particular,

4603
04:31:31,160 --> 04:31:35,020
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: projected to be hard-hit by the Super El Niño should be prioritized,

4604
04:31:35,380 --> 04:31:39,160
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: especially in implementing projects such as rainwater harvesting,

4605
04:31:39,660 --> 04:31:42,560
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: crop diversification, and watershed management.

4606
04:31:43,000 --> 04:31:47,420
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, magbibigay naman po tayo ng list of recommendations at the proper time.

4607
04:31:47,820 --> 04:31:52,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, we appreciate, Mrs. Speaker, itong mga namimention po na recommendation

4608
04:31:52,500 --> 04:31:56,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng kinatawan ng kabataan party list.

4609
04:31:56,380 --> 04:32:01,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, ang position po ng DOF ay nais po nilang makakuha itong recommendation na ito

4610
04:32:01,920 --> 04:32:09,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nang sa ganun ay maging basihan din po ito sa ongoing improvement po sa Social People's Protection Fund na ito po,

4611
04:32:09,520 --> 04:32:10,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

4612
04:32:10,440 --> 04:32:16,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, nagpapasalamat po kami and then the DOF is willing to work with Congresswoman Renee Co

4613
04:32:16,680 --> 04:32:21,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para po mas mapa-improve pa natin, mas papadali at mas matulungan natin ang mga komunidad

4614
04:32:21,260 --> 04:32:22,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ngangailangan.

4615
04:32:22,380 --> 04:32:27,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng ganitong klaseng pondo para po sa proteksyon, hindi lang po ng kalakasan nila

4616
04:32:27,760 --> 04:32:31,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pero proteksyon po sa kanilang mga constituents, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

4617
04:32:32,240 --> 04:32:33,940
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Salamat po, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.

4618
04:32:34,420 --> 04:32:38,660
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ang sunod po nating tanong ay tungkol naman po sa Bureau of Customs.

4619
04:32:38,760 --> 04:32:47,800
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ito po ay tungkol naman din sa usapin ng electronic waste na nakita natin na tinambak sa Subic

4620
04:32:47,800 --> 04:32:52,060
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: some 253, if I remember correctly,

4621
04:32:52,380 --> 04:33:08,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: containers of that, na nahirapan yung Bureau of Customs to exercise its mandate, legal mandate, para po tuloy-tuloy na ma-check yung anuman po yung nandito sa mga containers na ito.

4622
04:33:08,820 --> 04:33:30,680
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Noted po natin na nagkaroon po ng joint inspection on the nine recycling site, nine recycling locators in Subic, July 1 this year, kasama ng SBMA at DNRM EMD. Ano pong findings ng joint inspection na ito, Mr. Speaker, Good Sponsor?

4623
04:33:34,660 --> 04:33:38,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kung maaari lang po lamang, magre-refer lang po ako sa data.

4624
04:33:38,820 --> 04:34:08,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero alam ko, just while they're looking at the data, sa Bureau of Customs po, ito pong nami-mention po na mga, okay, ito pong mga e-waste na mga cargo po, for a certain period of time, kasi what is important po, Mr. Speaker, is hindi po nila dito tinatangbak.

4625
04:34:08,820 --> 04:34:13,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pinapabalik po nila ito sa country of origin, Mr. Speaker.

4626
04:34:13,860 --> 04:34:38,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So kung meron man lang pong time na nandoon sa isang lugar, dyan po sa na-mention na lugar po ng ating kagalang-galang na kinatawan, ng kabataan party, this is only good for a certain number of days because it really requires that they need to be processed first and then makuha po yung number so that kailangan po yung documentation before the Bureau of Customs.

4627
04:34:38,820 --> 04:34:40,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And it sends them back to the country of origin.

4628
04:34:42,100 --> 04:34:48,320
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Maaari na lang po bang humingi ng kopya ng report tungkol po sa findings of this joint inspection?

4629
04:34:48,320 --> 04:35:07,260
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Pero we raise this line of questioning, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, dahil po ang pagtambak ng e-waste, or rather, ang illegal importation of e-waste papuntang subik galing United States ay hindi po sang-ayon sa Basel Convention.

4630
04:35:07,500 --> 04:35:08,760
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At under the Basel...

4631
04:35:08,820 --> 04:35:21,960
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At under the Basel Convention na ating niratipika ay ang essentially agency na in charge sa pag-ensure na ito ay nasusunod other than the DEN or andyan ang Bureau of Customs.

4632
04:35:21,960 --> 04:35:38,800
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So it's good to hear na itong July 1 and subsequent inspections ay napapabalik na po sa country of origin yung mga tunetuneladang mga e-waste na pumupunta.

4633
04:35:38,820 --> 04:35:47,900
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Dito sa ating bansa, ayaw po natin na maging tambakan ng basura ang Pilipinas, gaya po ng ginagawa ng ibang mayamang bansa sa Southeast Asia.

4634
04:35:48,340 --> 04:36:02,960
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, I'd like a commitment, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, on the floor, tuloy-tuloy na ba ang cooperation to ensure that illegal imports of electronic waste and toxic waste on the area is strictly prohibited under our law?

4635
04:36:03,660 --> 04:36:08,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mrs. Speaker, we can guarantee that we will call the support.

4636
04:36:08,820 --> 04:36:23,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mrs. Speaker, just to add on to the previous response that I gave to the good lady from Kabataan Party List, it's not only about Customs' role and duty to send back these e-waste cargos,

4637
04:36:24,020 --> 04:36:30,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: but even the DNR also requires them to have a clear position on this.

4638
04:36:30,180 --> 04:36:37,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think this is an ongoing discussion between the Bureau of Customs and the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and Natural Resources.

4639
04:36:37,800 --> 04:36:38,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes.

4640
04:36:38,820 --> 04:36:59,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So on the part of the Customs, kaya nga po nagko-cause ito ng possible alarm sa environment as well as health environment, they send them back. But as to the position of the good lady, whether the Bureau of Customs stands on whatever treaties, agreements, international covenants that we have entered into,

4641
04:36:59,480 --> 04:37:08,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: definitely, we will keep solidly comply with whatever the directives from all these treaties and covenants.

4642
04:37:08,820 --> 04:37:11,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think the Philippine government has said, entered into, Mrs. Speaker, your Honor.

4643
04:37:11,780 --> 04:37:14,240
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Okay, maraming salamat, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.

4644
04:37:14,680 --> 04:37:26,480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Siguro ang huling na lang nating line of questioning din tungkol dito ay meron ding nakumpirma na containers na intercepted ng Bureau of Customs.

4645
04:37:26,600 --> 04:37:35,360
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Meron po noong July 25, and according to Inquirer, it contains scrap copper from the U.S. arrived aboard MV Tokyo Express.

4646
04:37:35,540 --> 04:37:38,360
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And meron din po isa pa na kinumpirma.

4647
04:37:38,820 --> 04:37:43,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng August 22 na suspected electronic waste.

4648
04:37:44,080 --> 04:37:45,740
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And as far as we know, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

4649
04:37:45,820 --> 04:37:50,380
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: wala pang inilalabas na report para sa ikalawang shipment na pinatigil.

4650
04:37:50,860 --> 04:37:54,260
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Maari po bang malaman ano yung findings

4651
04:37:54,260 --> 04:37:58,900
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng other interceptions na ginawa ng Bureau of Customs?

4652
04:37:59,300 --> 04:38:00,980
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At pwede po bang ikumpirma,

4653
04:38:01,380 --> 04:38:04,660
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: electronic waste po ba ang laman ng shipments na ito?

4654
04:38:04,940 --> 04:38:06,080
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At galing sa anong bansa?

4655
04:38:08,820 --> 04:38:38,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ...

4656
04:38:38,820 --> 04:38:48,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, apologies for that. Uh, Mr. Speaker, these are scrap metals upon assessment by the Bureau of Customs.

4657
04:38:49,820 --> 04:38:52,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero when they are being tested, I think electronically,

4658
04:38:53,700 --> 04:38:54,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: mayroon nagpa-positive siya.

4659
04:38:55,020 --> 04:38:58,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So I think these are the scrap metals used in hospitals,

4660
04:38:58,940 --> 04:39:02,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: maybe those devices that used radioactive.

4661
04:39:02,080 --> 04:39:07,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: That's why they're still continuing to...

4662
04:39:07,080 --> 04:39:08,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: still continuing...

4663
04:39:08,820 --> 04:39:10,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: They're still continuing on assessing these.

4664
04:39:10,820 --> 04:39:14,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So magbibigay na lang po daw ang Bureau of Customs ng report,

4665
04:39:14,820 --> 04:39:17,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: assessment report, patungkol po dito sa sinasa...

4666
04:39:17,820 --> 04:39:19,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: minimension po ng ating kagalang-galang na interpreter,

4667
04:39:19,820 --> 04:39:21,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

4668
04:39:21,820 --> 04:39:23,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Hintayin din po natin yung ulat na ito,

4669
04:39:23,820 --> 04:39:25,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pero para po rin sa clarification,

4670
04:39:25,820 --> 04:39:29,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: galing po sa anong bansa itong ikalawa na shipment?

4671
04:39:30,820 --> 04:39:33,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Galing po ng United States po, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

4672
04:39:33,820 --> 04:39:36,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero may iba-iba po na point of origin.

4673
04:39:38,820 --> 04:39:46,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Meron pong mga other European countries,

4674
04:39:46,820 --> 04:39:49,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: for example, those cargos,

4675
04:39:49,820 --> 04:39:51,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: e-waste cargos that came from the United States,

4676
04:39:51,820 --> 04:39:56,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pinabalik na po natin yan sa country of origin.

4677
04:39:56,820 --> 04:39:59,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But the other, it's still being assessed

4678
04:39:59,820 --> 04:40:01,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and magbibigay po kami ng report,

4679
04:40:01,820 --> 04:40:04,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kagalang-galang na interpreter, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

4680
04:40:04,820 --> 04:40:06,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, hintayin po natin yung ulat

4681
04:40:06,820 --> 04:40:09,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: at hingi rin po tayo ng ulat sa tatlong interceptions

4682
04:40:09,820 --> 04:40:11,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na ginawa ng Bureau of Customs.

4683
04:40:11,820 --> 04:40:19,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Andiyan po yung sa July 1, July 25, and August 18.

4684
04:40:19,820 --> 04:40:23,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Siguro to note na lang on the record, Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

4685
04:40:23,820 --> 04:40:28,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: under the Basel Ban Amendment na at tayo'y signatory din,

4686
04:40:28,820 --> 04:40:34,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: hindi po maaari mag-export ang bansang U.S.

4687
04:40:34,820 --> 04:40:37,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: even ang mga bansa ng OECD,

4688
04:40:37,820 --> 04:40:39,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: so it includes European countries,

4689
04:40:39,820 --> 04:40:42,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: sa labas ng kanilang mga grupo.

4690
04:40:42,820 --> 04:40:44,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So hindi po pwede sa Pilipinas.

4691
04:40:44,820 --> 04:40:49,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So Madam Speaker, good sponsor, ang huli na lang nating tanong ay

4692
04:40:49,820 --> 04:40:54,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: alam natin na may RTC ruling na inalabas last year na nagsasabi

4693
04:40:54,820 --> 04:40:59,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na ang Subic Bay Freeport Zone ay outside customs territory

4694
04:40:59,820 --> 04:41:03,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: over which public respondents, BOC, and POS can exercise jurisdiction.

4695
04:41:04,820 --> 04:41:09,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Has this impeded the mandate of the BOC to report and inspect suspicious

4696
04:41:09,820 --> 04:41:12,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and possibly illegal shipments within the SBMA?

4697
04:41:12,820 --> 04:41:15,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At naapektoan po ba nito ang nakaraang mga pagpatitigil

4698
04:41:15,820 --> 04:41:17,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng mga shipments of e-waste?

4699
04:41:19,820 --> 04:41:22,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Meron naman po, Mrs. Speaker, proper coordination

4700
04:41:22,820 --> 04:41:28,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang Subic Free Zone, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor,

4701
04:41:28,820 --> 04:41:33,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at hindi naman po na-interrupt o naantala kung ano po yung mandatong

4702
04:41:33,820 --> 04:41:36,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: binigay po sa Bureau of Customs, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

4703
04:41:36,820 --> 04:41:41,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So may proper coordination naman pong nangyayari at I would say na hindi po

4704
04:41:41,820 --> 04:41:49,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: both, narirespeto naman po yung mandato ng ating pangunahing ahensya

4705
04:41:49,820 --> 04:41:54,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para po to make sure na yung pagpasok po dito sa ating bansa ng mga goods

4706
04:41:54,820 --> 04:41:58,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ay legal at hindi po dumaan sa mga iligal na pamamaraan,

4707
04:41:58,820 --> 04:41:59,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

4708
04:41:59,820 --> 04:42:00,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Thank you po.

4709
04:42:00,820 --> 04:42:02,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ito na lang po ang huli nating mga tanong.

4710
04:42:02,820 --> 04:42:10,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Tungkol naman po ito sa tax deduction sa mga negosyo dahil po sa batas na RA 10754

4711
04:42:10,820 --> 04:42:14,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: that expands the benefits and privileges of persons with disabilities.

4712
04:42:14,820 --> 04:42:18,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Sa PWD tax deduction ng mga establishments,

4713
04:42:18,820 --> 04:42:20,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

4714
04:42:20,820 --> 04:42:26,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: bukod sa kakulangan o hindi talaga pagsumite ng mga records of sales kasama ang mga pangalan

4715
04:42:26,820 --> 04:42:30,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng persons with disability, PWD ID,

4716
04:42:30,820 --> 04:42:32,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: at kung applicable yung TIN nila,

4717
04:42:32,820 --> 04:42:40,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: may iba po bang pwedeng rason kung bakit magdedisallow ang claim para sa tax deduction?

4718
04:42:58,820 --> 04:42:59,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, Your Honors,

4719
04:42:59,820 --> 04:43:05,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa palagay po namin under the BIR,

4720
04:43:05,820 --> 04:43:10,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: wala po namang mga cases wherein dinidisallow yung claim na lalo-lalo na po

4721
04:43:10,820 --> 04:43:15,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: by PWD because this is also enforcement ito po ng batas.

4722
04:43:15,820 --> 04:43:25,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Lahat po nang may mga exception, discounts na lalo-lalo na po itong mga persons with disability,

4723
04:43:25,820 --> 04:43:29,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ay dapat po talaga na magkaroon po silang ng discount sa kanilang,

4724
04:43:29,820 --> 04:43:34,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: any transaction that they entered into by virtue of the compliance with the law.

4725
04:43:34,820 --> 04:43:36,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, Your Honors.

4726
04:43:36,820 --> 04:43:39,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Unfortunately, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

4727
04:43:39,820 --> 04:43:44,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pinapatungkol na po natin ito siguro sa Bureau of Internal Revenue,

4728
04:43:44,820 --> 04:43:49,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: meron pong mga nakarating na ulat sa amin na mga maliliit na nagninegosyo

4729
04:43:49,820 --> 04:43:54,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na hindi napapayagan ang claim nila para sa tax deductions.

4730
04:43:54,820 --> 04:43:57,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Naging isa nung usap-usapin yung pagkakaroon ng fake PWD ID.

4731
04:43:57,820 --> 04:44:09,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ngunit, para sa kinatawa na ito, hindi po dapat ipinapasa ang bigat ng pagtitiyak na lehitimo ang PWD IDs

4732
04:44:09,820 --> 04:44:17,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: o kung ano pang mga records na isinumite lang naman po sa kanila sa mga establishments, lalo na sa small businesses.

4733
04:44:17,820 --> 04:44:23,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Yes, may online verification system, pero hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon na na-update ito.

4734
04:44:23,820 --> 04:44:28,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, final manifestation na lang na baka po pwedeng imbestigahan ito

4735
04:44:28,820 --> 04:44:36,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: at makahingi na rin ng mga detalye ukol po dito kung meron naman pong nakapagsumite ng any grievance

4736
04:44:36,820 --> 04:44:44,400
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na katulad ng inihain ngayon dito sa floor na gusto natin hindi na po maulit, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor.

4737
04:44:44,400 --> 04:44:48,820
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: With the indulgence of our distinguished colleague, the Honorable Co.

4738
04:44:48,820 --> 04:44:52,480
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Your time is up. Distinguished Sponsor, please respond briefly.

4739
04:44:52,480 --> 04:44:53,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes. Yes.

4740
04:44:53,080 --> 04:44:59,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Aaksyonan po yan ng BIR at gusto po namin kung maaari magbigay po kayo sa

4741
04:44:59,840 --> 04:45:05,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ating kang galang-galang nakabataan party list representative ng listahan kung saan po itong mga negosyo,

4742
04:45:05,700 --> 04:45:10,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ano po yung mga negosyo ito, saan lugar, para po ma-imbestigahan ng Bureau of Internal Revenue, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

4743
04:45:11,020 --> 04:45:13,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Hindi po natin ito tolerate yung mga ganyan, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

4744
04:45:14,220 --> 04:45:15,600
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Thank you, Madam Speaker. Good sponsor.

4745
04:45:15,700 --> 04:45:16,480
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Majority Leader.

4746
04:45:17,260 --> 04:45:26,800
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: Madam Speaker, next to interpolate the sponsor, I move to recognize Representative Sergio Dagooc of APEC Party List.

4747
04:45:26,800 --> 04:45:32,940
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: The Honorable Sergio Dagooc of Party List APEC is recognized for his interpolation.

4748
04:45:42,160 --> 04:45:46,880
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Thank you. Thank you, Madam Speaker. Thank you, Majority Leader.

4749
04:45:46,880 --> 04:45:55,880
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Ang akin bang kaibigan na pinanggalingan ng ating Hydro ay tumatanggap ng mga ilang katanungan.

4750
04:45:56,800 --> 04:46:03,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ang pinupuntahan po ng hydropower ay tatanggapin po kung saan ito pupunta.

4751
04:46:04,480 --> 04:46:08,260
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Thank you, Madam Speaker. Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor.

4752
04:46:08,920 --> 04:46:12,340
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Una, para mabilis tayo, yes or no na lang.

4753
04:46:12,980 --> 04:46:13,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Sige po.

4754
04:46:13,460 --> 04:46:25,320
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: FIRB, are you willing to revisit FIRB Resolution No. 24-87?

4755
04:46:26,800 --> 04:46:28,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, sir.

4756
04:46:30,120 --> 04:46:44,120
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: If you are willing, for the record, ano yung hakbang na gagawin ninyo para ma-resolve ba yung issue ng mga electric cooperatives sa kanilang income tax exemption?

4757
04:46:45,280 --> 04:46:47,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Nakala ko ba yes or no answer lang?

4758
04:46:47,280 --> 04:46:50,360
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Hindi, yun na nga. Yung hakbang.

4759
04:46:50,360 --> 04:46:51,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ...

4760
04:46:53,020 --> 04:47:06,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, the part of that process is also we will take the advice of the Department of Justice, isa po yun sa mga particular na steps just to confirm the legality,

4761
04:47:06,900 --> 04:47:10,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, itong resolution po na ito, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

4762
04:47:11,960 --> 04:47:17,780
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Yung bang legality na yan includes raising the issue to the Department of Justice?

4763
04:47:17,960 --> 04:47:18,860
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Yes or no ninyo?

4764
04:47:19,240 --> 04:47:20,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Tama po yun. Yes.

4765
04:47:20,240 --> 04:47:25,620
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Yes. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor. Thank you, FIRB.

4766
04:47:26,800 --> 04:47:35,640
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Ang susunod ko pong katanungan, sobrang taas na po ang ating kuryente. Sobrang taas na po ang ating oil.

4767
04:47:36,740 --> 04:47:51,820
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: So, papayag po ba ang ating Bureau of Internal Revenue, Department of Finance Family, naarali ninyo yung isang scheme, no?

4768
04:47:51,820 --> 04:47:52,520
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: na

4769
04:47:52,520 --> 04:47:54,020
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Halimbawa,

4770
04:47:54,020 --> 04:48:05,940
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: mayroon naman talaga kayong ginagawang price reference to project magkano yung revenue natin sa oil, sa electricity.

4771
04:48:05,940 --> 04:48:13,500
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Mayroon po ba tayong price reference na ginagawa para mabuo yung target natin revenue for the year?

4772
04:48:15,540 --> 04:48:21,320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mayroon po, Mrs. Speaker, kasama po yun sa macro assumptions po na pinresenta po natin kanina.

4773
04:48:21,420 --> 04:48:24,020
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: So, yes or no lang sana yun eh?

4774
04:48:24,260 --> 04:48:25,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes po. Yes po.

4775
04:48:25,260 --> 04:48:26,400
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: So, ngayon.

4776
04:48:26,800 --> 04:48:34,300
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kung halimbawa, ang price reference natin sa diesel ay 60 pesos.

4777
04:48:35,220 --> 04:48:47,580
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Ngayon, pag umabot ng 140 pesos, definitely napakataas yung more than double yung windfall natin kasi nakapix yung 12%.

4778
04:48:47,580 --> 04:48:56,340
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Pwede po ba ninyong aralin na kapagka umabot na ng 70, 80, 90, I'm not saying na...

4779
04:48:56,800 --> 04:48:58,260
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Huwag nating kuliktahin.

4780
04:48:58,680 --> 04:49:02,720
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kuliktahin pa rin natin para walang mawawala doon sa price reference.

4781
04:49:03,260 --> 04:49:13,040
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kahit kuliktahin pa natin yung excess sa price reference, pero papayag ba kayo aralin ninyo kung anong hanggang anong liby lang.

4782
04:49:13,180 --> 04:49:20,480
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Halimbawa, umabot na ng 140, hanggang anong amount lang na pwede pa nating patawan ng tax.

4783
04:49:20,480 --> 04:49:22,660
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: 70, 80, 90.

4784
04:49:23,380 --> 04:49:26,540
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: So, siguro, sobra na yun. Walang mawawala sa atin.

4785
04:49:26,800 --> 04:49:31,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Okay, pag-aaralan po yan, Mr. Speaker, at magandang rekomendasyon po yan, Mr. Speaker.

4786
04:49:31,360 --> 04:49:31,780
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Thank you.

4787
04:49:32,520 --> 04:49:36,460
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Doon sa kuryente, ganon din po ang gagawin natin.

4788
04:49:37,080 --> 04:49:40,300
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Ang gumagalaw sa kuryente, yung generation charge.

4789
04:49:41,180 --> 04:49:46,840
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Hindi po gumagalaw yung distribution, supply, metering charge.

4790
04:49:47,360 --> 04:49:49,300
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Generation at transmission lang.

4791
04:49:49,300 --> 04:49:54,200
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Pwede din po bang aralin ng DOF, BIR, na

4792
04:49:54,200 --> 04:49:55,900
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: magkaroon

4793
04:49:55,900 --> 04:49:56,660
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: tayo ng

4794
04:49:56,660 --> 04:49:58,880
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: threshold.

4795
04:49:58,920 --> 04:50:03,240
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Halimbawa, magpasa tayo ng batas,

4796
04:50:03,240 --> 04:50:05,980
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: uutosan natin ang Energy Regulatory Commission

4797
04:50:05,980 --> 04:50:12,400
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: to issue the benchmark of generation cost per type of technology.

4798
04:50:13,060 --> 04:50:18,800
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Halimbawa, ang coal-fired na planta ay 8 pesos yung benchmark.

4799
04:50:19,320 --> 04:50:22,020
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kapag nagmahal yung coal,

4800
04:50:22,020 --> 04:50:25,520
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: o abot siya ng 10, 12,

4801
04:50:25,520 --> 04:50:34,100
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: na hindi na natin patawan yung halimbawa 8, 9, sige, i-charge pa natin, 9.50, 10.

4802
04:50:34,600 --> 04:50:43,320
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Baka pupwede naarali natin na hindi na natin patawan yung sobrang-sobrang na kasi yung ibang nagbabayad ng kuryente,

4803
04:50:44,160 --> 04:50:50,000
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: kawawa, hindi ninyo nakita kasi manok na lang ang ibigay para hindi maputulan.

4804
04:50:50,780 --> 04:50:52,840
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Can you commit naarali ninyo yan?

4805
04:50:53,640 --> 04:50:54,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

4806
04:50:55,520 --> 04:50:58,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mayroon pong pag-aaral na po ginagawa, sinasagawa ngayon, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

4807
04:50:59,740 --> 04:51:01,460
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: So, that's all.

4808
04:51:02,340 --> 04:51:03,400
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kuryente lang na po, Sir.

4809
04:51:03,920 --> 04:51:07,320
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Nag-issue na si DBCC ba?

4810
04:51:07,440 --> 04:51:07,920
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Nag-issue.

4811
04:51:08,380 --> 04:51:11,840
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Yung ano ngayon natin, yung suspension ng...

4812
04:51:11,840 --> 04:51:13,060
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Sinong nag-issue?

4813
04:51:13,520 --> 04:51:15,600
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Yung suspension natin yung LPG ba?

4814
04:51:15,920 --> 04:51:17,040
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: At saka excise tax?

4815
04:51:17,720 --> 04:51:18,600
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: May in-issue na tayo?

4816
04:51:23,360 --> 04:51:25,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Nag-recommend po nito,

4817

04:51:26,360 --> 04:51:27,540
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Nag-recommend na?

4819
04:51:27,540 --> 04:51:29,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, nag-recommend ba sa Presidente, Mr. Speaker?

4820
04:51:29,920 --> 04:51:32,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ang LPG?

4821
04:51:33,580 --> 04:51:36,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pumirma na rin po ang Department of Finance, Mr. Speaker.

4822
04:51:37,060 --> 04:51:41,360
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Okay. So, maraming salamat at na-recommend na ninyo.

4823
04:51:41,460 --> 04:51:49,540
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Ang tanong ko, yung aviation fuel ay LPG yun.

4824
04:51:50,020 --> 04:51:52,440
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kasama po ba ang aviation fuel?

4825
04:51:52,440 --> 04:51:53,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Hindi po.

4826
04:51:55,080 --> 04:51:56,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Hindi po kasama yung aviation fuel, Mr. Speaker.

4827
04:51:56,800 --> 04:51:57,460
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Hindi kasama.

4828
04:51:57,980 --> 04:51:59,860
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Ngayon, last na katanungan.

4829
04:52:00,320 --> 04:52:03,900
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Hindi na po to answerable by yes or no, pero dipindi sa sagot mo.

4830
04:52:05,420 --> 04:52:06,640
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Distinguished Sponsor,

4831
04:52:08,000 --> 04:52:14,400
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: kapag ka sinuspend ni Presidente yung tax na yan,

4832
04:52:15,400 --> 04:52:20,560
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: anong mekanisim at anong agency ang mag-monitor

4833
04:52:20,560 --> 04:52:23,560
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: na yung reduction dahil...

4834
04:52:25,080 --> 04:52:30,420
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Reduction in cost dahil sa suspension ay totoong na-replique.

4835
04:52:30,660 --> 04:52:34,800
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Halimbawa, sa pump price, sa cost of products and services.

4836
04:52:35,480 --> 04:52:37,460
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Dahil kung hindi natin na-monitor yun,

4837
04:52:38,200 --> 04:52:40,340
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: baka nawalan tayo ng rebinyo,

4838
04:52:40,920 --> 04:52:43,780
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: kumita pa lalo yung mga nagninigosyo.

4839
04:52:44,300 --> 04:52:46,380
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Mayroon bang mekanisim? Anong agency?

4840
04:52:46,860 --> 04:52:48,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mayroon po, Mr. Speaker, ang DOE po.

4841
04:52:48,740 --> 04:52:54,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ang DOE, pag gumaba po ng $80 per liter ang ating gasolina,

4842
04:52:54,420 --> 04:52:55,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sasabihan po ng DOE,

4843
04:52:55,060 --> 04:52:58,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na-advise niya po ang Department of Finance.

4844
04:52:58,280 --> 04:53:02,060
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: I hope, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor,

4845
04:53:02,160 --> 04:53:07,900
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: I hope na kakayanin ng Department of Energy yung monitoring.

4846
04:53:08,560 --> 04:53:11,160
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Alam ko, ilang tao lang yung Department of Energy.

4847
04:53:11,700 --> 04:53:15,280
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Siguro, tingnan to ng Department of Finance

4848
04:53:15,280 --> 04:53:18,880
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: kasi nasasayang yung gusto natin, yung objective,

4849
04:53:19,500 --> 04:53:23,800
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: ay napoporfit kung hindi makareplique

4850
04:53:25,060 --> 04:53:33,560
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: ang nabawas doon sa cost sa retail price or pump price.

4851
04:53:34,320 --> 04:53:38,300
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: I hope na titignan ulit ng DOF

4852
04:53:38,300 --> 04:53:41,060
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: kung kakayanin ni DOE.

4853
04:53:41,420 --> 04:53:46,420
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kung hindi, gagawa tayo ng pamamaraan na talagang mabawas yun.

4854
04:53:46,920 --> 04:53:49,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Sa ngayon po, binabantayan po ng DOE, again,

4855
04:53:50,300 --> 04:53:52,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ongoing po naman talaga yung adjustment po.

4856
04:53:52,360 --> 04:53:55,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, definitely, babantayan po ng DOE.

4857
04:53:55,060 --> 04:54:00,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Sorry, Department of Finance po itong sinasabi po ng ating kagalang-galang na

4858
04:54:00,260 --> 04:54:04,240
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor. Thank you, DOF family.

4859
04:54:04,840 --> 04:54:05,580
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Thank you, Madam Speaker.

4860
04:54:06,940 --> 04:54:08,060
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Majority Leader.

4861
04:54:09,460 --> 04:54:12,820
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: Madam Speaker, next to interpolate the sponsor,

4862
04:54:15,020 --> 04:54:19,960
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: I move to recognize Representative Antonio Tino of ACT Teachers Partylist.

4863
04:54:20,040 --> 04:54:22,880
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: The Honorable Tino of Partylist ACT Teachers

4864
04:54:22,880 --> 04:54:24,400
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: is recognized

4865
04:54:24,400 --> 04:54:25,580
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: for his interpellation.

4866
04:54:25,580 --> 04:54:30,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Madam Speaker, can I, with all due respect to the next interpolator,

4867
04:54:30,500 --> 04:54:32,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: can I request for a few minutes suspension?

4868
04:54:33,360 --> 04:54:34,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Just a few minutes.

4869
04:54:38,860 --> 04:54:41,740
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Session suspended for one minute.

4870
04:57:08,340 --> 04:57:16,380
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Session resumed. The Honorable Tino is recognized for his interpellation.

4871
04:57:16,380 --> 04:57:24,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Thank you, Madam Speaker.

4872
04:57:25,260 --> 04:57:52,950
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah, to the sponsor. Well, ang paksa po natin would be ah debt, no, dahil sa Department of Finance po ito. Ah, so, o po, meron po tayong ilang mga um datos at presentation. Okay? So una, pinapakita po yung national government outstanding debt.

4873
04:57:52,960 --> 04:58:22,670
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bumalik tayo ng isang dekada up to 2016 at kita po talaga natin yung pambihirang paglaki ng debt, no. Um, madalas sinasabi na lumaki daw ang utang lalo na nung panahon ng pandemya, ah, dahil kinailangang umutang, pero ah nagtuloy-tuloy ang paglaki nito hanggang sa kasalukuyan. So 2016, the national government outstanding debt stood at 6. 09 trillion.

4874
04:58:22,680 --> 04:58:52,950
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah, and by 2026, 19. 77 77 trillion, although projected pa yan kasi hindi pa tapos ang taon. Tapos ang projection naman for 2027 will be 21. 48 trillion. No, ang mga datos na to nanggaling po sa BF. So galing din po sa DOF and economic managers. So yan po, para makita lang natin.

4875
04:58:52,960 --> 04:59:26,470
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And then the next tab there, added each year. Ay hindi po, hindi yan. Added each year. So dito po makikita yung ah nadagdag na utang kada taon, no? So, in other words, magkano ang dinagdag na utang ng, ah, for example, Duterte administration and then Marcos Jr. administration.

4876
04:59:26,480 --> 04:59:51,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So makikita natin na, ah, ayan po, well, totoo nung 2020 talagang lumaki ang inutang ng gobyerno, no. 2019, 0. 44 44 trillion ang nadagdag sa utang, pero nung ah 2020 ay lumobo po ito, 2. 06 trillion, no.

4877
04:59:51,500 --> 04:59:59,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At mula doon, ang pinakamababang nadagdag na was the year 2023, 1. 2 trillion.

4878
05:00:00,000 --> 05:00:09,380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And muli ngayong 2026, saabot sa 2.06 trillion, same level as 2020, pandemic.

4879
05:00:10,980 --> 05:00:15,740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tapos ang projection for 2027, 1.7 trillion.

4880
05:00:16,760 --> 05:00:24,040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So mamaya, ito total natin magkano yung inutang ng Marcos Jr. administration so far.

4881
05:00:24,040 --> 05:00:31,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: O yung dinagdag niya sa total outstanding debt stock.

4882
05:00:31,820 --> 05:00:32,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

4883
05:00:33,920 --> 05:00:37,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So ang point po ay papalaki talaga ang utang.

4884
05:00:38,180 --> 05:00:43,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And of course, pagpapalaki ang utang, papalaki rin ang binabayaran sa utang.

4885
05:00:43,540 --> 05:00:45,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So balik na tayo dun sa debt service.

4886
05:00:46,400 --> 05:00:48,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Debt service, ayan na po.

4887
05:00:49,320 --> 05:00:53,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So again, from 2016 to 2026 and then 2027.

4888
05:00:54,040 --> 05:01:01,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung blue, principal amortization.

4889
05:01:01,380 --> 05:01:04,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung orange, interest payments.

4890
05:01:04,960 --> 05:01:06,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So combined, nakita natin.

4891
05:01:07,460 --> 05:01:19,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Noong 2016, 0.79 trillion or 790 billion ang combined principal and interest payments.

4892
05:01:21,080 --> 05:01:24,020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero ngayon nga, sa ilalim ng Marcos Jr.

4893
05:01:24,040 --> 05:01:26,280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: administration, ay papalaki ito.

4894
05:01:26,360 --> 05:01:30,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Especially in 2024, we see, umabot sa 2.02 trillion.

4895
05:01:31,420 --> 05:01:36,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And then, there will, according to projections of DOF,

4896
05:01:36,980 --> 05:01:42,080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2027, may malaking paglaki po ng babayaran sa utang.

4897
05:01:43,040 --> 05:01:45,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2.7 trillion.

4898
05:01:46,860 --> 05:01:47,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

4899
05:01:47,920 --> 05:01:51,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, pabigat po ng pabigat ang ating debt burden.

4900
05:01:51,560 --> 05:01:52,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kung baga, no?

4901
05:01:54,040 --> 05:01:54,840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

4902
05:01:57,900 --> 05:01:59,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano po ang paliwanag?

4903
05:02:00,520 --> 05:02:01,980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bakit papalaki?

4904
05:02:02,620 --> 05:02:05,740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Noong up to 2016 and before the pandemic,

4905
05:02:07,160 --> 05:02:09,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sinasabi talaga ng Department of Finance,

4906
05:02:09,800 --> 05:02:11,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nagiging manageable na raw

4907
05:02:11,200 --> 05:02:13,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang utang natin.

4908
05:02:14,620 --> 05:02:15,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At totoo nga,

4909
05:02:16,820 --> 05:02:21,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: below 1 trillion na yung combined na binabayaran sa utang.

4910
05:02:21,420 --> 05:02:23,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero ngayon, lumobo na.

4911
05:02:24,040 --> 05:02:27,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Over 2 trillion ang babayaran sa utang.

4912
05:02:29,220 --> 05:02:31,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker, again,

4913
05:02:33,360 --> 05:02:35,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: well, okay naman talaga, kung titignan mo naman talaga,

4914
05:02:35,760 --> 05:02:37,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, as what projected,

4915
05:02:37,780 --> 05:02:38,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: tumataas yung utang.

4916
05:02:39,080 --> 05:02:41,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero this utang naman is not necessarily na

4917
05:02:41,360 --> 05:02:44,540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that would worry us.

4918
05:02:45,000 --> 05:02:46,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kasi lumalaki yung utang natin,

4919
05:02:46,660 --> 05:02:48,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kasi lumalaki yung expenses na paggagamitan,

4920
05:02:48,860 --> 05:02:50,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: then lumalaki yung ating ekonomiya.

4921
05:02:50,980 --> 05:02:52,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ang benchmark po naman talaga,

4922
05:02:52,920 --> 05:02:53,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pag, para makikita,

4923
05:02:54,100 --> 05:02:56,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sabi po natin ay medyo offhand na,

4924
05:02:57,180 --> 05:03:01,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ay babalik po tayo doon sa 56.4 benchmark natin

4925
05:03:01,440 --> 05:03:03,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: dun sa debt to GDP.

4926
05:03:04,160 --> 05:03:09,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Na doon naman ang benchmark naman is 70% rate

4927
05:03:09,800 --> 05:03:11,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na masasabi.

4928
05:03:11,520 --> 05:03:13,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Halimbawa, doon sa benchmark po ng

4929
05:03:13,300 --> 05:03:15,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: International Monetary Fund,

4930
05:03:17,180 --> 05:03:19,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: World Bank, Mr. Speaker,

4931
05:03:19,580 --> 05:03:23,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na kung saan, pag ito po ay sumobra doon,

4932
05:03:23,520 --> 05:03:24,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ay doon po tayo,

4933
05:03:24,040 --> 05:03:25,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: magkakaroon ng problema.

4934
05:03:25,920 --> 05:03:26,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero so far,

4935
05:03:27,040 --> 05:03:29,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: medyo malayo pa po tayo doon.

4936
05:03:29,660 --> 05:03:31,040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, way below po tayo.

4937
05:03:31,620 --> 05:03:33,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, yes, nangungutang po tayo

4938
05:03:33,580 --> 05:03:36,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: dahil po lumalago ang ating ekonomiya

4939
05:03:36,520 --> 05:03:38,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at dumadami po ang paggagastusan

4940
05:03:38,420 --> 05:03:40,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng ating bansa,

4941
05:03:40,360 --> 05:03:40,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker.

4942
05:03:41,780 --> 05:03:44,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Lumalaki ang utang dahil lumalago

4943
05:03:44,200 --> 05:03:45,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang ekonomiya

4944
05:03:45,500 --> 05:03:48,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at lumalaki ang gastusin.

4945
05:03:49,100 --> 05:03:49,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes po.

4946
05:03:49,540 --> 05:03:51,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: At may inflation na rin po.

4947
05:03:51,100 --> 05:03:52,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Lumalaki rin ang bayad utang, no?

4948
05:03:52,860 --> 05:03:55,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero sinabi niyong lumalaki ang ekonomiya

4949
05:03:55,360 --> 05:03:58,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: although for this year in particular,

4950
05:03:59,380 --> 05:04:03,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: malaki po ang binagal

4951
05:04:03,940 --> 05:04:06,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng paglaki ng ekonomiya,

4952
05:04:06,460 --> 05:04:07,020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: hindi po ba?

4953
05:04:07,820 --> 05:04:09,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sabi po, second quarter of

4954
05:04:09,640 --> 05:04:13,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2.3% growth only.

4955
05:04:14,040 --> 05:04:17,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Samantalang ang target ng gobyerno

4956
05:04:18,440 --> 05:04:20,280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nasa mga gusto nila,

4957
05:04:20,400 --> 05:04:21,540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 4 to 6%,

4958
05:04:21,540 --> 05:04:22,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: hindi po ba?

4959
05:04:22,860 --> 05:04:24,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, way below

4960
05:04:24,340 --> 05:04:28,540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: even the projections of the economic manager.

4961
05:04:28,740 --> 05:04:31,040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, taliwas po sa sinasabi niyo,

4962
05:04:31,380 --> 05:04:33,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: umuutang para lumago ang ekonomiya.

4963
05:04:33,700 --> 05:04:35,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sa totoo lang, lumaki ang utang

4964
05:04:35,060 --> 05:04:36,140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pero bumabagal

4965
05:04:36,140 --> 05:04:39,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: and significantly bumagal

4966
05:04:39,240 --> 05:04:41,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang paglaki ng ekonomiya,

4967
05:04:41,420 --> 05:04:41,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: hindi po ba?

4968
05:04:42,360 --> 05:04:44,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, may kasabihan po tayo,

4969
05:04:44,240 --> 05:04:45,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: No man is an island.

4970
05:04:45,320 --> 05:04:45,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, ibig sabihin,

4971
05:04:46,040 --> 05:04:48,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang ekonomiya on a larger scale,

4972
05:04:48,700 --> 05:04:49,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nag-apektohan din po yan

4973
05:04:49,880 --> 05:04:51,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng international lakalakaran.

4974
05:04:51,740 --> 05:04:52,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, may nangyayari po,

4975
05:04:52,860 --> 05:04:53,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ngayon, nakaguluhan

4976
05:04:53,980 --> 05:04:56,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa gitnang silangan.

4977
05:04:56,440 --> 05:04:58,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, hindi po natin inaasahan yun,

4978
05:04:58,620 --> 05:05:00,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: mayroon talagang epekto po

4979
05:05:00,000 --> 05:05:01,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa ating ekonomiya.

4980
05:05:01,580 --> 05:05:02,960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, ito po ito sa mga factor

4981
05:05:02,960 --> 05:05:04,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kung bakit medyo bumagal

4982
05:05:04,440 --> 05:05:05,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: yung sinasabi po natin,

4983
05:05:05,720 --> 05:05:06,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: tumaas yung inflation,

4984
05:05:06,700 --> 05:05:07,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: tumaas talaga yung gastusin

4985
05:05:07,840 --> 05:05:09,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: dahil po sa isang bagay

4986
05:05:09,240 --> 05:05:10,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na hindi natin kontrolado.

4987
05:05:11,140 --> 05:05:12,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: At is importante is,

4988
05:05:12,500 --> 05:05:13,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nagre-respond naman po tayo

4989
05:05:13,900 --> 05:05:15,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at base po sa ating

4990
05:05:15,220 --> 05:05:17,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: macroeconomic assumptions,

4991
05:05:18,080 --> 05:05:20,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ito po ay nagdidirekta

4992
05:05:20,100 --> 05:05:21,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa ating paano ma-achieve ito

4993
05:05:21,720 --> 05:05:22,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at nagungutang nga tayo.

4994
05:05:22,860 --> 05:05:23,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Tama po.

4995
05:05:23,780 --> 05:05:24,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Dahil po yun nga,

4996
05:05:24,820 --> 05:05:25,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: meron po talaga tayong

4997
05:05:25,800 --> 05:05:27,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: intended na pagagastusan

4998
05:05:27,880 --> 05:05:28,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para lumago po

4999
05:05:28,720 --> 05:05:30,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang ating kalakaran sa ating

5000
05:05:30,840 --> 05:05:31,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: domestically,

5001
05:05:31,940 --> 05:05:32,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

5002
05:05:33,620 --> 05:05:33,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Well,

5003
05:05:34,720 --> 05:05:36,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No man is an island.

5004
05:05:36,880 --> 05:05:39,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: May economic crisis,

5005
05:05:39,380 --> 05:05:41,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pandayigdigang economic crisis.

5006
05:05:41,940 --> 05:05:43,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: You know, one main reason,

5007
05:05:43,520 --> 05:05:43,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: of course,

5008
05:05:44,000 --> 05:05:46,840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the U.S. war against Iraq.

5009
05:05:47,500 --> 05:05:48,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sa kabila nun,

5010
05:05:49,420 --> 05:05:50,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay pinakamabagal,

5011
05:05:50,860 --> 05:05:51,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: isa sa mga pinakabagal,

5012
05:05:52,860 --> 05:05:55,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: mabagal sa paglago

5013
05:05:55,960 --> 05:05:57,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang Pilipinas.

5014
05:05:57,640 --> 05:05:58,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kung ikukumpara,

5015
05:05:59,060 --> 05:06:00,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kahit sa mga kapitbahay lang natin

5016
05:06:00,660 --> 05:06:01,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa Southeast Asia.

5017
05:06:01,660 --> 05:06:02,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: For example,

5018
05:06:03,060 --> 05:06:06,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Singapore, 5.1%

5019
05:06:06,220 --> 05:06:07,740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: for 2026.

5020
05:06:08,620 --> 05:06:10,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Indonesia, 5.3%.

5021
05:06:10,620 --> 05:06:11,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And Vietnam,

5022
05:06:12,300 --> 05:06:13,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 8.2%.

5023
05:06:13,600 --> 05:06:14,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, sa kabila po ng,

5024
05:06:15,500 --> 05:06:16,580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa kabila ng,

5025
05:06:17,720 --> 05:06:19,840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sabi mo nga, pare-parehong dumadaan sa crisis.

5026
05:06:19,840 --> 05:06:21,720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero bakit yung mga kapitbahay?

5027
05:06:21,840 --> 05:06:22,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Imagine Vietnam,

5028
05:06:22,860 --> 05:06:24,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 8.2%.

5029
05:06:24,440 --> 05:06:29,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ibig sabihin po,

5030
05:06:30,060 --> 05:06:31,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yes,

5031
05:06:32,480 --> 05:06:33,920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: lahat dumadaan sa crisis,

5032
05:06:34,240 --> 05:06:36,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pero dahil sa mga patakaran ng gobyerno,

5033
05:06:37,180 --> 05:06:39,140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay maaaring

5034
05:06:39,140 --> 05:06:40,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: maigpawan yan.

5035
05:06:41,100 --> 05:06:41,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Diba?

5036
05:06:41,820 --> 05:06:42,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And unfortunately,

5037
05:06:43,880 --> 05:06:45,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: isa sa mga kulelat sa ASEAN,

5038
05:06:46,180 --> 05:06:46,980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang Pilipinas.

5039
05:06:47,500 --> 05:06:49,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, unang-una po, Mr. Speaker,

5040
05:06:49,220 --> 05:06:50,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is dahil ang Pilipinas,

5041
05:06:50,240 --> 05:06:52,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we entire with our dependent on

5042
05:06:52,220 --> 05:06:53,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: oil supply.

5043
05:06:54,040 --> 05:06:57,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Hindi po tulad ng mga ating mga kapitbahay sa ASEAN

5044
05:06:57,000 --> 05:06:59,280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na may mga sarili po silang

5045
05:06:59,280 --> 05:07:01,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: langis, no?

5046
05:07:02,520 --> 05:07:04,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Tulad ng Malaysia, Indonesia.

5047
05:07:04,480 --> 05:07:06,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, unfortunately, Mr. Speaker,

5048
05:07:06,600 --> 05:07:07,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: this is what

5049
05:07:07,200 --> 05:07:09,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the current situation right now

5050
05:07:09,740 --> 05:07:11,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as far as, you know,

5051
05:07:12,120 --> 05:07:14,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as far as how we're dependent on

5052
05:07:14,380 --> 05:07:17,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: portation of international petroleum.

5053
05:07:17,300 --> 05:07:18,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And that international petroleum

5054
05:07:18,780 --> 05:07:20,500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: prices is not being

5055
05:07:20,500 --> 05:07:21,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: controlled.

5056
05:07:22,220 --> 05:07:24,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, by the Philippines.

5057
05:07:24,780 --> 05:07:26,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, dumadaan po ito sa

5386
05:14:51,380 --> 05:14:52,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng ayuda.

5387
05:14:54,880 --> 05:14:55,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya po,

5388
05:14:56,060 --> 05:14:56,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang nangyari,

5389
05:14:56,840 --> 05:14:57,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: as a result,

5390
05:14:58,760 --> 05:14:59,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang nangyari,

5391
05:15:00,000 --> 05:15:02,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay matinding corruption.

5392
05:15:04,480 --> 05:15:07,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hanggang ngayon, pinapanagot pa rin natin yung mga dapat managot.

5393
05:15:08,280 --> 05:15:11,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pangalawang nangyari, dahil sa paglaganap ng ayuda,

5394
05:15:11,660 --> 05:15:13,280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: naging ayuda nation tayo.

5395
05:15:14,500 --> 05:15:15,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Epekto niyan sa eleksyon.

5396
05:15:15,700 --> 05:15:19,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ito po, alam ko, ang ating sponsor ay chair din ng

5397
05:15:19,960 --> 05:15:23,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Committee on Suffrage and Electoral Reforms.

5398
05:15:24,060 --> 05:15:27,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano nangyari sa eleksyon, sa mga nakaraang eleksyon,

5399
05:15:27,760 --> 05:15:28,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa ganitong kalakaran?

5400
05:15:28,880 --> 05:15:30,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: E talagang bumabaha ang ayuda.

5401
05:15:31,620 --> 05:15:34,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Related to patronage, related to vote buying,

5402
05:15:35,460 --> 05:15:46,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: and related to the greater influence and dominance of political dynasties

5403
05:15:46,320 --> 05:15:49,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: in our society.

5404
05:15:50,460 --> 05:15:57,020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, yan po ang maaring conclusion natin.

5405
05:15:57,020 --> 05:15:58,840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Na ang utang natin,

5406
05:15:58,880 --> 05:16:01,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay para sa pork.

5407
05:16:02,620 --> 05:16:06,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ito ba ang maipagmamalaki ng administrasyon

5408
05:16:06,320 --> 05:16:10,760
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa mas malalim na pagkakabaon natin sa utang?

5409
05:16:11,260 --> 05:16:16,840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yun po ang tanong sa DOF, sa sponsor, sa DOF, at sa mga economic managers.

5410
05:16:18,420 --> 05:16:21,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, unang-una, naintindihan po natin ang projection

5411
05:16:21,840 --> 05:16:24,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng ating kagalang-galang na interpolator.

5412
05:16:24,780 --> 05:16:26,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero hindi lang huyon naman ang pinupondohan.

5413
05:16:26,680 --> 05:16:28,680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: As far as Department of...

5414
05:16:28,880 --> 05:16:30,180

5415
05:16:30,180 --> 05:16:32,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang pinaka-primary consideration,

5416
05:16:32,020 --> 05:16:34,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: again, paulit-ulit ko po sinasabi,

5417
05:16:34,020 --> 05:16:36,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ay paano po kumuha ng sapat na gastos

5418
05:16:36,520 --> 05:16:39,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para mababigyan po ng ating gobyerno

5419
05:16:39,520 --> 05:16:44,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na mag-spend ng mga necessary expenses ng government.

5420
05:16:44,520 --> 05:16:48,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Una, kung titignan po natin ng projection na yun,

5421
05:16:48,520 --> 05:16:50,520

5422
05:16:50,520 --> 05:16:52,520

5424
05:16:58,880 --> 05:17:01,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero ang importante po, Mr. Speaker, ay una,

5425
05:17:01,880 --> 05:17:03,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kung titignan po natin yung actual

5426
05:17:03,880 --> 05:17:07,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng national government deficit,

5427
05:17:07,880 --> 05:17:09,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nung umupo po ang...

5428
05:17:09,880 --> 05:17:11,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: tungkasalukuyang administrasyon,

5429
05:17:11,880 --> 05:17:13,880

5446
05:17:47,880 --> 05:17:49,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Habang dumaraki po talaga yung gastusin,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2027,

5544
05:20:37,880 --> 05:20:39,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: significant na pagbaba.

5545
05:20:39,880 --> 05:20:40,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bakit bumaba?

5546
05:20:40,880 --> 05:20:42,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung pork spending.

5547
05:20:42,880 --> 05:20:44,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil po, pumutok na yung kontrobersya

5548
05:20:44,880 --> 05:20:45,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng flood control.

5549
05:20:45,880 --> 05:20:47,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No, kaya,

5550
05:20:47,880 --> 05:20:49,880

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah, may pagrerenda,

5552
05:20:50,880 --> 05:20:52,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: may pagbawas,

5553
05:20:52,880 --> 05:20:54,880

05:20:54,880 --> 05:20:56,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay lumiit ang mga indicators.

5555
05:20:56,880 --> 05:20:58,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero sa totoo lang,

5556
05:20:58,880 --> 05:20:59,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah,

5557
05:20:59,880 --> 05:21:00,880

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kasignifikant ang pag-iit.

5559
05:21:02,880 --> 05:21:03,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Anyway, so,

5560
05:21:03,880 --> 05:21:04,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yun po yung point natin.

5561
05:21:04,880 --> 05:21:05,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

5562
05:21:05,880 --> 05:21:06,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And so,

05:21:06,880 --> 05:21:08,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah,

5564
05:21:08,880 --> 05:21:09,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the main point

5565
05:21:09,880 --> 05:21:10,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: that we're making here

5566
05:21:10,880 --> 05:21:11,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: is that,

5567
05:21:11,880 --> 05:21:13,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah,

5568
05:21:13,880 --> 05:21:15,880

05:21:15,880 --> 05:21:17,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah,

5570
05:21:17,880 --> 05:21:19,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: hyperscaling

5571
05:21:19,880 --> 05:21:21,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: of pork spending

5572
05:21:21,880 --> 05:21:23,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: that happened

5573
05:21:23,880 --> 05:21:26,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: under the Marcos Jr. administration

5574
05:21:26,880 --> 05:21:29,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: was fueled by

5575
05:21:29,880 --> 05:21:30,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: debt.

5576
05:21:30,880 --> 05:21:31,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

5577
05:21:31,880 --> 05:21:33,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya lalong nabaon sa utang,

5578
05:21:33,880 --> 05:21:35,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah, ang ating mamamayan.

5579
05:21:35,880 --> 05:21:37,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At anong nakuha?

5580
05:21:37,880 --> 05:21:38,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang nakuha natin

5581
05:21:38,880 --> 05:21:39,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay,

5582
05:21:39,880 --> 05:21:41,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah,

5583
05:21:41,880 --> 05:21:44,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: largely ineffective flood control.

5584
05:21:44,880 --> 05:21:46,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Mga ghost project,

5585
05:21:46,880 --> 05:21:47,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: mga under,

5586
05:21:47,880 --> 05:21:48,880

05:21:50,880 --> 05:21:51,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah,

5589
05:21:51,880 --> 05:21:52,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: overpriced

5590
05:21:52,880 --> 05:21:53,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at ineffective

5591
05:21:53,880 --> 05:21:55,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na flood control project.

5592
05:21:55,880 --> 05:21:56,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya nga,

5593
05:21:56,880 --> 05:21:57,880

05:21:57,880 --> 05:21:58,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah,

05:21:58,880 --> 05:21:59,880

05:21:59,880 --> 05:22:00,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay lalong lumalala

05:22:00,880 --> 05:22:01,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang baha.

5598
05:22:01,880 --> 05:22:03,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yun ang isa.

5599
05:22:03,880 --> 05:22:04,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Corruption.

05:22:04,880 --> 05:22:05,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pangalawa,

5601
05:22:05,880 --> 05:22:07,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: massive expansion

5602
05:22:07,880 --> 05:22:09,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: of pork.

5603
05:22:09,880 --> 05:22:10,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

5604
05:22:10,880 --> 05:22:11,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, yung, ah,

5605
05:22:11,880 --> 05:22:13,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: expansion ng patronage system,

5606
05:22:13,880 --> 05:22:14,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa halip na

5607
05:22:14,880 --> 05:22:16,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: maging karapatan

5608
05:22:16,880 --> 05:22:17,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang social services,

5609
05:22:17,880 --> 05:22:20,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ito ay magiging utang na loob

5610
05:22:20,880 --> 05:22:22,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa politiko.

5611
05:22:22,880 --> 05:22:23,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ganun po.

5614
05:22:26,880 --> 05:22:29,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pag pinag-uusapan natin ang budget ng DOH

5615
05:22:29,880 --> 05:22:31,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: or ng CHED,

5616
05:22:31,880 --> 05:22:33,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: saan ba ilalagay ito?

5617
05:22:33,880 --> 05:22:35,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sa budget mismo ng ospital

5618
05:22:35,880 --> 05:22:36,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: o ng unibersidad?

5619
05:22:36,880 --> 05:22:38,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: O sa budget para sa scholarship?

5620
05:22:38,880 --> 05:22:39,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

5621
05:22:39,880 --> 05:22:40,880

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No? Samantala,

5626
05:22:46,880 --> 05:22:49,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kung ilalagay mo sa institusyon,

5627
05:22:49,880 --> 05:22:51,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yun ang maaaring gamitin

5628
05:22:51,880 --> 05:22:54,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: para sa expansion ng pasilidad,

5629
05:22:54,880 --> 05:22:56,880

05:23:00,880 --> 05:23:02,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: edukasyon o kalusugan.

5634
05:23:02,880 --> 05:23:03,880

05:24:42,880 --> 05:24:45,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: there are different kinds of growth.

5694
05:24:45,880 --> 05:24:48,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No? Merong growth na talagang lumilikha

5695
05:24:48,880 --> 05:24:50,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng mas maraming trabaho.

5696
05:24:50,880 --> 05:24:51,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah,

5697
05:24:51,880 --> 05:24:52,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nagpapaangat.

5698
05:24:52,880 --> 05:24:54,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah,

5699
05:24:54,880 --> 05:24:56,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pang matagalang nagpapaangat

5700
05:24:56,880 --> 05:24:57,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa mamamayan,

5701
05:24:57,880 --> 05:24:58,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa kahirapan.

5702
05:24:58,880 --> 05:24:59,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

5703
05:24:59,880 --> 05:25:01,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil nakabatay sa,

5704
05:25:01,880 --> 05:25:02,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah,

5705
05:25:02,880 --> 05:25:04,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: paglikha ng trabaho.

5706
05:25:04,880 --> 05:25:06,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sa agrikultura,

5707
05:25:06,880 --> 05:25:07,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa industriya.

5708
05:25:07,880 --> 05:25:08,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

5709
05:25:08,880 --> 05:25:09,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At siguro masasabi natin,

5710
05:25:09,880 --> 05:25:11,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ganyan ang nakikita natin sa ating mga kapitbahay.

5711
05:25:11,880 --> 05:25:12,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya naiiwan na tayo.

5712
05:25:12,880 --> 05:25:13,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Notably, for example,

5713
05:25:13,880 --> 05:25:14,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Vietnam,

5714
05:25:16,500 --> 05:25:18,740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: which is driven by

5715
05:25:18,740 --> 05:25:20,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: manufacturing.

5716
05:25:20,340 --> 05:25:21,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No? Ah,

5717
05:25:21,440 --> 05:25:23,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: growth in their manufacturing,

5718
05:25:23,200 --> 05:25:23,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah,

5719
05:25:23,640 --> 05:25:26,920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: matagal nang naiwanan tayo sa agrikultura.

5720
05:25:26,920 --> 05:25:27,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

5721
05:25:27,300 --> 05:25:29,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya nga nag-i-import tayo

5722
05:25:29,200 --> 05:25:30,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng bigas sa kanila.

5723
05:25:30,620 --> 05:25:31,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, yun yung

5724
05:25:31,780 --> 05:25:32,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: isang tipo ng growth.

5725
05:25:32,960 --> 05:25:34,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Meron namang isang tipo ng growth,

5726
05:25:34,960 --> 05:25:36,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na,

5727
05:25:36,340 --> 05:25:37,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: tawagin natin,

5728
05:25:37,460 --> 05:25:38,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kung may junk calories,

5729
05:25:38,480 --> 05:25:39,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: meron ding junk growth.

5730
05:25:39,700 --> 05:25:41,020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

5731
05:25:41,020 --> 05:25:41,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Totoo,

5732
05:25:41,760 --> 05:25:42,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the headline figures

5733
05:25:42,960 --> 05:25:44,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: will increase,

5734
05:25:44,900 --> 05:25:46,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sabi na bawasan daw ang mahirap,

5735
05:25:46,880 --> 05:25:47,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: no,

5736
05:25:47,880 --> 05:25:48,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pero sa totoo lang,

5737
05:25:48,880 --> 05:25:52,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kung tatanungin mo ang ordinaryong mamamayan,

5738
05:25:52,880 --> 05:25:53,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah,

5739
05:25:53,880 --> 05:25:54,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: di nila na-ra-ramdaman

5740
05:25:54,880 --> 05:25:56,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang pagiging middle income status,

5741
05:25:56,880 --> 05:25:57,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: no,

5742
05:25:57,880 --> 05:25:59,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: bakit hindi?

5743
05:25:59,880 --> 05:26:00,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil,

5744
05:26:00,880 --> 05:26:02,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: napataas

5745
05:26:02,880 --> 05:26:03,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang,

5746
05:26:03,880 --> 05:26:04,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah,

5747
05:26:04,880 --> 05:26:05,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: o napababa daw ang poverty rate,

5748
05:26:05,880 --> 05:26:07,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: dahil sa ayuda.

5749
05:26:07,880 --> 05:26:08,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil sa tupad,

5750
05:26:08,880 --> 05:26:09,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: napaba,

5751
05:26:09,880 --> 05:26:10,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: napaba-

5752
05:26:10,880 --> 05:26:14,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pababa ang unemployment rate.

5753
05:26:14,880 --> 05:26:18,020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero hindi naman lumikha ng pangmatagalang trabaho,

5754
05:26:19,020 --> 05:26:23,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: hindi lumikha ng livelihood o kabuhayan,

5755
05:26:23,680 --> 05:26:24,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kung hindi ayuda.

5756
05:26:25,500 --> 05:26:28,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, to conclude, Mr. Speaker,

5757
05:26:28,720 --> 05:26:31,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: unfortunately, the current model

5758
05:26:31,340 --> 05:26:35,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pursued by the Marcos Jr. administration,

5759
05:26:36,560 --> 05:26:39,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: led by the economic managers,

5760
05:26:39,460 --> 05:26:41,980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: including the Department of Finance,

5761
05:26:42,840 --> 05:26:47,280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: has been a debt-driven junk growth.

5762
05:26:48,280 --> 05:26:54,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi lumilika ng pangmatagalang trabaho at kabuhayan,

5763
05:26:54,500 --> 05:26:57,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: lalo na sa agrikultura at industriya.

5764
05:26:58,280 --> 05:27:08,100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nakadepende sa pagwaldas ng malaking public funds

5765
05:27:08,100 --> 05:27:09,140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa

5766
05:27:09,140 --> 05:27:12,280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: public infrastructure,

5767
05:27:12,760 --> 05:27:16,540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: katulad ng flood control na hindi tunay na pakikinabangan ng mamamayan

5768
05:27:16,540 --> 05:27:20,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at pinagbumulan ng malaking corruption

5769
05:27:20,360 --> 05:27:21,580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at

5770
05:27:21,580 --> 05:27:23,980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ayuda,

5771
05:27:24,640 --> 05:27:25,760
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: paglaki ng ayuda

5772
05:27:25,760 --> 05:27:30,520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na pansamantalang magbibigay ng tulong,

5773
05:27:30,520 --> 05:27:34,520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ngunit hindi ng pangmatagalang trabaho at kabuhayan sa mamamayan.

5774
05:27:34,920 --> 05:27:37,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, hanggang doon na lamang po, Madam Speaker,

5775
05:27:39,140 --> 05:27:41,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yan ang kailangang baguhin sa kasalukuyang budget.

5776
05:27:42,320 --> 05:27:44,080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At hindi lang budget ang kailangang baguhin,

5777
05:27:44,160 --> 05:27:46,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kailangang baguhin yung buong economic model.

5778
05:27:47,300 --> 05:27:48,280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi na po pwede

5779
05:27:48,280 --> 05:27:50,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang debt-driven,

5780
05:27:51,500 --> 05:27:55,520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pork-fueled,

5781
05:27:55,520 --> 05:27:56,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: debt-driven,

5782
05:27:57,540 --> 05:27:59,100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: debt-fueled,

5783
05:27:59,100 --> 05:28:00,040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pork-driven

5784
05:28:00,040 --> 05:28:01,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: economic growth

5785
05:28:01,860 --> 05:28:03,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na nakikita natin ngayon.

5786
05:28:03,440 --> 05:28:04,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Maraming salamat po.

5787
05:28:06,820 --> 05:28:07,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Maraming salamat,

5788
05:28:08,160 --> 05:28:09,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Madam Speaker,

5789
05:28:09,140 --> 05:28:10,120
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Majority Leader.

5790
05:28:12,520 --> 05:28:13,760
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: Madam Speaker,

5791
05:28:14,000 --> 05:28:15,580
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: next to interpolate the sponsor,

5792
05:28:15,740 --> 05:28:19,380
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: I move to recognize Representative Presley C. De Jesus

5793
05:28:19,380 --> 05:28:21,560
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: of Philreca Partylist.

5794
05:28:22,280 --> 05:28:25,660
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: The Honorable Presley De Jesus of Partylist Philreca

5795
05:28:25,660 --> 05:28:28,120
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: is recognized for his interpolation.

5796
05:28:29,520 --> 05:28:31,440
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.

5797
05:28:31,680 --> 05:28:32,420
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Of course, the

5798
05:28:32,420 --> 05:28:33,980
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: distinguished sponsor,

5799
05:28:34,680 --> 05:28:35,980
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: medyo limang oras na siya,

5800
05:28:36,120 --> 05:28:37,640
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: so I'll make it short.

5801
05:28:38,260 --> 05:28:39,120
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Speaker,

5802
05:28:39,140 --> 05:28:40,400
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Distinguished Sponsor,

5803
05:28:40,480 --> 05:28:41,200
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: again,

5804
05:28:42,020 --> 05:28:44,320
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: being representative of all the cooperatives,

5805
05:28:44,460 --> 05:28:44,760
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: ito po,

5806
05:28:44,880 --> 05:28:46,420
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: ito yung sa mga kooperatiba po,

5807
05:28:46,540 --> 05:28:48,060
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: I have only a few questions.

5808
05:28:49,440 --> 05:28:50,800
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ang una pong tanong,

5809
05:28:50,960 --> 05:28:52,900
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: ano ho ang primary reason

5810
05:28:52,900 --> 05:28:55,360
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: bakit hirap na hirap makakuha

5811
05:28:55,360 --> 05:28:56,280
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: o mag-renew,

5812
05:28:57,000 --> 05:28:58,200
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: mag-renew ng CTE

5813
05:28:58,200 --> 05:29:01,560
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: ang mga cooperatives natin?

5814
05:29:03,600 --> 05:29:06,880
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ito po yung Certificate of Tax Exemption.

5815
05:29:51,240 --> 05:29:59,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honor, sa una po, nire-require po talaga natin yung tax, yung TIN number po nila.

5816
05:30:00,000 --> 05:30:03,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero sa ngayon ay may mga adjustments po ang ginagawa ngayon ng BIR.

5817
05:30:03,800 --> 05:30:06,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Nakakapag-renew naman po sila as part of the ease of doing business.

5818
05:30:07,520 --> 05:30:10,000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya hindi na po natin nire-require yung kanilang...

5819
05:30:11,660 --> 05:30:17,900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Hindi na po ngayon in-strictly enforce yung requirement po ng pag-submit niya kanila ng TIN.

5820
05:30:17,980 --> 05:30:20,920
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Alam niyo po, Madam Speaker, distinguished sponsor.

5821
05:30:21,140 --> 05:30:27,620
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Karamihan po sa mga small kooperativa, yung mga magsasaka, alalayo ng lugar niyan.

5822
05:30:27,620 --> 05:30:31,160
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, alam niyo, karamihan sa kanila, no read, no write.

5823
05:30:31,300 --> 05:30:36,420
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, pag pumunta sa bayan niyan, baka pagtawanan sila, hindi nga nilanam kung ano ibig sabihin ng TIN.

5824
05:30:37,000 --> 05:30:41,580
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, yung sa amin po, konting unawa sa kanila.

5825
05:30:41,780 --> 05:30:45,880
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: But again, I know, sa BIR, kailangan talaga may TIN ka.

5826
05:30:46,020 --> 05:30:50,360
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kasi nga, identifier yan, para ka lang kumuha din ng national ID.

5827
05:30:50,780 --> 05:30:51,460
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, you need that.

5828
05:30:51,460 --> 05:30:56,400
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: But again, pag isa bang cooperative ang maliit, natin ka malalayong lugar,

5829
05:30:56,400 --> 05:31:01,840
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: eh ang kanyang kooperativa, kung nyari, kooperativa ABC,

5830
05:31:02,420 --> 05:31:05,020
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: di ba yun lang ang dapat i-registro, hindi yung mga member niya.

5831
05:31:05,140 --> 05:31:06,820
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Pati ba member, kailangan i-registro?

5832
05:31:08,220 --> 05:31:13,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Sa ngayon, kaya nga po sabihin ng BIR ngayon, hindi naman siya strictly in-enforce na ngayon.

5833
05:31:13,820 --> 05:31:22,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kasi nga, nakiki, minsan nakikipag-deal na lang po sila doon sa kooperativa kung saan miyembro itong mga individuals na po ito.

5834
05:31:23,280 --> 05:31:26,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, again, ang BIR.

5835
05:31:26,400 --> 05:31:29,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Nais naman po talaga maintindihan ng kalagayan ng ating mga kababayan.

5836
05:31:30,420 --> 05:31:34,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ngunit, kailangan din po balansin ang BIR doon sa pangangailangan ng batas kung saan.

5837
05:31:35,020 --> 05:31:44,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Iri-require po ng batas ang ating BIR na mag-request po ng TIN as part of the compliance, Mr. Speaker.

5838
05:31:44,440 --> 05:31:53,300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya nga po sila, ina-adjust nga po nila, not strictly enforced, kasi naintindihan din po nila yung kalagayan ng ating mga kababayan.

5839
05:31:53,420 --> 05:31:55,840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And directly dealing with the cooperatives.

5840
05:31:56,400 --> 05:32:02,440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Rather than the previous implementation that individual members should have to produce the TIN number, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

5841
05:32:02,900 --> 05:32:04,480
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.

5842
05:32:05,180 --> 05:32:12,120
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Is there any time that you just review it, you know, for the sake of argument?

5843
05:32:12,280 --> 05:32:18,100
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Para naman makita at marinig nila na talagang gumagawa po ang kanilang kooperativa at the same time,

5844
05:32:18,520 --> 05:32:21,080
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: the BIR will adjust para naman sa kanila.

5845
05:32:21,280 --> 05:32:24,300
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: To make sure na talaga naman lahat tayo ay binibigay.

5846
05:32:24,300 --> 05:32:25,300
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: I know that the BIR...

5847
05:32:26,400 --> 05:32:29,100
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Bread and butter natin is BIR talaga.

5848
05:32:29,360 --> 05:32:34,340
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: That's why I salute and I always approve your budget.

5849
05:32:34,500 --> 05:32:42,820
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kumbaga kasama niyo po ako na sumasaludo at kasama niyo po akong 100% na gusto rin ma-approve ang inyong budget.

5850
05:32:43,200 --> 05:32:45,620
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: But with this cooperative na malilit, no?

5851
05:32:46,020 --> 05:32:47,340
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Sana mapagbigyan din natin.

5852
05:32:47,420 --> 05:32:48,440
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Just look into it.

5853
05:32:48,720 --> 05:32:50,820
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kung anong pwede natin i-adjust para sa kanila.

5854
05:32:51,280 --> 05:32:53,580
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Can you commit that? Madam Speaker,

5855
05:32:53,760 --> 05:32:55,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes po. We can guarantee.

5856
05:32:55,880 --> 05:32:56,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Good.

5857
05:32:56,400 --> 05:32:57,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Gentleman po.

5858
05:32:57,220 --> 05:32:57,920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: With that adjustment.

5859
05:32:58,160 --> 05:32:58,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Thank you po.

5860
05:32:58,680 --> 05:32:59,040
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you.

5861
05:32:59,120 --> 05:33:06,180
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Again, ito naman sa mga nagpapadala din sa akin ng sulat tungkol naman sa mga ating mga jeepney,

5862
05:33:06,640 --> 05:33:09,520
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: mga bus operator, ating mga manggawa.

5863
05:33:09,680 --> 05:33:14,220
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kasi ngayon, ang conserge Dagok mentioned na windfall ba.

5864
05:33:14,740 --> 05:33:21,880
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ito bang, inanon natin yung ating forecast natin for next year's budget.

5865
05:33:22,020 --> 05:33:22,140
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Di ba?

5866
05:33:22,220 --> 05:33:23,160
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Nakapag-forecast kayo.

5867
05:33:24,240 --> 05:33:26,160
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Yung per liter nyo na excise tax.

5868
05:33:26,400 --> 05:33:30,840
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: At what amount did you peg it?

5869
05:33:31,060 --> 05:33:32,520
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: 60 pesos ba per liter ba?

5870
05:33:33,140 --> 05:33:37,360
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: When you do, yung ginawa nyo yung ano nyo, o 70 pesos.

5871
05:33:38,200 --> 05:33:38,440
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Okay.

5872
05:33:38,780 --> 05:33:46,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yung excess po kasi, determination of the excess is the volume of the commodity, no?

5873
05:33:46,220 --> 05:33:46,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Petroleum.

5874
05:33:46,640 --> 05:33:49,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, in that, the fuel rather than the price.

5875
05:33:49,080 --> 05:33:49,560
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: By volume.

5876
05:33:49,860 --> 05:33:51,760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, by volume rather than the price po, Mrs. Speaker.

5877
05:33:51,760 --> 05:33:52,200
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Do you think?

5878
05:33:52,200 --> 05:33:56,200
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Because right now, before it was 60 or 70 now, became 1.

5879
05:33:56,400 --> 05:33:58,220
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: 100 pesos per liter.

5880
05:33:58,660 --> 05:34:00,520
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, may windfall ba yan, o wala?

5881
05:34:00,780 --> 05:34:01,120
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Tingin nyo.

5882
05:34:01,240 --> 05:34:07,160
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Yun yung, that would be the amount arrived at kung impose po natin additional VAT, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

5883
05:34:07,780 --> 05:34:10,640
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, what can we tell them, at least marilib sila?

5884
05:34:10,740 --> 05:34:15,640
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Because in excess of 70 pesos, as you know, pwede ba natin silang tanggal yung excise tax?

5885
05:34:15,860 --> 05:34:17,740
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, the government has to do it.

5886
05:34:17,860 --> 05:34:20,600
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: O kayo ba, kayo on your end, the DOF, o hindi nila kaya?

5887
05:34:22,440 --> 05:34:22,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah.

5888
05:34:24,340 --> 05:34:24,520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Oo.

5889
05:34:24,520 --> 05:34:25,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yun nga po.

5890
05:34:25,560 --> 05:34:28,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, I think kung di ako nagkakamali, di ba,

5891
05:34:28,980 --> 05:34:29,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na wala na yung ex...

5892
05:34:31,360 --> 05:34:31,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah.

5893
05:34:32,540 --> 05:34:32,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah.

5894
05:34:33,220 --> 05:34:50,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, Mrs. Speaker, yung mga sinasabi po natin, this has been brought out earlier, yung mga VAT collection po natin on petroleum products, ito po yung pinaggagastusan natin doon sa identified na mga subsidies and assistance.

5895
05:34:50,060 --> 05:34:53,160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ito ang uplift program po ng gobyerno.

5896
05:34:53,280 --> 05:34:55,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kasi nga po, nasa kalagayan po.

5897
05:34:55,380 --> 05:35:06,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: At tayo kung saan, hindi pa rin po stable yung nangyayari sa gitnang silangan na naka-apekto po sa pag-produce ng ating supply ng petrolyo.

5898
05:35:07,200 --> 05:35:09,800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, yun po yung in-explain po natin kanina.

5899
05:35:09,800 --> 05:35:21,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kailangan meron din tayong pagkukunan kung paano po natin mag-responde sa mga pangangailangan ng ating mga kababayan habang tumataas po ang lahat ng presyo ng commodities, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

5900
05:35:22,360 --> 05:35:25,140
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

5901
05:35:25,380 --> 05:35:27,520
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Speaker, of course, Distinguished Sponsor.

5902
05:35:27,720 --> 05:35:28,780
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Speaker, sorry.

5903
05:35:29,600 --> 05:35:44,560
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, ito naman, pagdala ito ng mga cockpit owners because I think last month, ni-raid daw sila, kinuha daw yung mga machine nila, pinag-penalize sila, e wala pa naman daw guidelines ang BIR when it comes to that.

5904
05:35:44,980 --> 05:35:51,040
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, ano ba ang pakakaiba ng POS sa special purpose machine na ginagamit nila?

5905
05:35:55,380 --> 05:36:17,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ...

5906
05:36:17,180 --> 05:36:24,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Unang-una po, Mr. Speaker, itong mga betting machines required na po talaga sila na maiano nila, i-register po nila.

5907
05:36:24,640 --> 05:36:40,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, ito po yung ni-raid po at kinolecta, ito po yung mga unregistered na mga betting machines at kung sila po ay makakapagrehistro, ibabalik naman po sa kanila ito ng ating Bureau of Internal Revenue, Mr. Speaker.

5908
05:36:40,720 --> 05:36:49,200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It is a small cockpit operation kung saan meron pong mga betting equipment, machines na hindi po nila nare-register.

5909
05:36:49,360 --> 05:36:52,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ina-impose lang po naman yung law enforcement side of the BIR.

5910
05:36:52,900 --> 05:36:54,580
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Speaker, my question is,

5911
05:36:55,360 --> 05:37:02,360
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Do you consider the betting machine same thing as point of sale or POS o magkaiba sila?

5912
05:37:04,920 --> 05:37:07,020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Asensya na po, pwede pong pakaiulit yung...

5913
05:37:07,020 --> 05:37:16,120
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Yung POS, because when you use POS, yung point of sale, yun ang ginagamit when you buy goods and services, di ba, sa mga malls.

5914
05:37:16,580 --> 05:37:23,600
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ngayon, yung machine betting ng mga cockpit owners naman, is that considered special purpose machine?

5915
05:37:25,360 --> 05:37:29,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pagbabalik po ako sa data, Mr. Speaker, Madam Speaker, Your Honor.

5916
05:37:36,420 --> 05:37:42,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Under the law po, Madam Speaker, Your Honor, either POS or PMS, talagang subject po siya for registration.

5917
05:37:43,120 --> 05:37:53,580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, wala pong choice exception, choice ang BIR ba to impose the law at wala pong exception na nakasulat po doon sa batas, Madam Speaker, Your Honor.

5918
05:37:54,550 --> 05:37:55,300
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Speaker.

5919
05:37:55,360 --> 05:37:56,440
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Distinguished sponsor.

5920
05:37:57,100 --> 05:38:03,400
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Hindi naman sila, sila gusto naman daw nila magbayad ng tax, so no question about that.

5921
05:38:03,880 --> 05:38:06,500
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kasi gusto lang din nila malaman, ngayon nanonood sila lahat.

5922
05:38:07,000 --> 05:38:10,420
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Gusto lang nila malaman, anong rate at saan yung kukunin?

5923
05:38:10,700 --> 05:38:12,040
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Sa total bet ba?

5924
05:38:12,580 --> 05:38:14,800
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Sa net income nila, kasi nalilito sila.

5925
05:38:45,460 --> 05:38:53,060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, pinagwap sa ngayon po, kasi meron pong, meron po talaga sa batas na 18% of the amusement tax, no?

5926
05:38:53,060 --> 05:38:54,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero ang sinasabi po nitong mga,

5927
05:38:55,360 --> 05:38:57,780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ating mga kababayan ay magkaroon

5928
05:38:57,780 --> 05:38:59,720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: yung sila masubject dun sa 18%

5929
05:38:59,720 --> 05:39:00,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na gross

5930
05:39:00,240 --> 05:39:03,380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sales po ng kanilang

5931
05:39:03,380 --> 05:39:05,880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: itong mga cockpit

5932
05:39:05,880 --> 05:39:07,260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na ito. Pero ito po ay

5933
05:39:07,260 --> 05:39:09,340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: compliance with the law, sabi nga po ng BIR.

5934
05:39:09,520 --> 05:39:11,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero ito po pinag-aaralan, kaya nga po

5935
05:39:11,220 --> 05:39:12,700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nag-create ng TWG

5936
05:39:12,700 --> 05:39:14,740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang ating BIR para

5937
05:39:14,740 --> 05:39:17,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: masolusyonan din po at mabigyan pansin

5938
05:39:17,420 --> 05:39:19,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: itong mga complaints na ito.

5939
05:39:19,740 --> 05:39:21,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero definitely po ang BIR

5940
05:39:21,140 --> 05:39:23,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang kanyang lang po ginawa ay alinsinod

5941
05:39:23,560 --> 05:39:25,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: po sa

5942
05:39:25,240 --> 05:39:27,120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: batas na wala pong kinaclassify

5943
05:39:27,120 --> 05:39:29,140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: between the PMS and the POS

5944
05:39:29,140 --> 05:39:31,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pagdating po dun sa certification

5945
05:39:31,620 --> 05:39:33,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: itong mga betting machines

5946
05:39:33,220 --> 05:39:34,640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na po ito, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

5947
05:39:34,780 --> 05:39:36,980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero pinag-uusapan po ito sa TWG

5948
05:39:36,980 --> 05:39:38,480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kasi gusto rin pong

5949
05:39:38,480 --> 05:39:41,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: masolusyonan ng BIR

5950
05:39:41,220 --> 05:39:42,560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: itong ganitong klaseng

5951
05:39:42,560 --> 05:39:45,220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sirkumstansya po, Mr. Speaker,

5952
05:39:45,220 --> 05:39:45,620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Your Honor.

5953
05:39:45,620 --> 05:39:46,780
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Alam nyo kasi ito,

5954
05:39:47,180 --> 05:39:49,160
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: matagal na ito, parte ng kultura natin.

5955
05:39:49,360 --> 05:39:50,440
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Tradition na ito eh, no?

5956
05:39:50,980 --> 05:39:52,700
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Panoon pa ng Kastila. Ngayon ang point nila,

5957
05:39:52,700 --> 05:39:54,620
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: willing naman daw sila mag-settle.

5958
05:39:54,780 --> 05:39:54,960
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Pero,

5959
05:39:55,240 --> 05:39:57,680
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: the 18%, I think that's

5960
05:39:57,680 --> 05:40:00,280
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: old code, tax code pa yan eh. Matagal na yan eh.

5961
05:40:00,800 --> 05:40:02,320
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kumbaga, hindi na nyo

5962
05:40:02,320 --> 05:40:04,720
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: binago yan eh. So if you apply that,

5963
05:40:05,100 --> 05:40:06,420
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: ang mga feed mills,

5964
05:40:06,680 --> 05:40:08,000
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: ang mga lot, pati

05:40:08,000 --> 05:40:08,960

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: milyon ang mawawalan nating kababayan.

05:40:15,440 --> 05:40:17,560
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: sa ayuda ng ating mga

5970
05:40:17,560 --> 05:40:20,260
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: because of the small tax na gusto nyo

5971
05:40:20,260 --> 05:40:21,300
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: impose sa kanila,

5972
05:40:21,300 --> 05:40:23,120
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: eh, babaksak ang kanila.

05:40:23,240 --> 05:40:24,500
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Malaki ito, ang industry.

6281
06:15:16,480 --> 06:15:22,420
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang aking mga tanong ay hindi tungkol sa kung kailangan ng mga LGU ng tulong. Kailangan nila ito.

6282
06:15:22,420 --> 06:15:34,260
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang tunay na tanong ay sino ang may kapangyarihang magpasya kung aling LGU, anong proyekto, magkano ang matatanggap, at kailan ito ibibigay?

6283
06:15:35,000 --> 06:15:38,240
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kongreso ba? O ang Executive Department?

6284
06:15:47,480 --> 06:15:50,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

6285
06:15:50,040 --> 06:15:52,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So yung release po ng local...

6286
06:15:52,420 --> 06:15:59,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Local Government Support Fund, in general, is governed by the special provision as approved by Congress in the GAA.

6287
06:16:00,000 --> 06:16:15,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: After that, the DBM is the one authorized to take care of the processing from the point of receiving the requests from the local government units up to the point of evaluating and releasing.

6288
06:16:15,680 --> 06:16:22,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Mahalaga po dito siguro na ipunto na nakadepende din po yung release.

6289
06:16:22,420 --> 06:16:28,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ito ang mga authorization na DBM, base po sa mga requests ng mga local government units.

6290
06:16:28,120 --> 06:16:38,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So halimbawa po, sinicheck po namin yung ilan po sa mga nabanggit ng mga probinsya na ating distinguished colleague, whether they had requests.

6291
06:16:38,500 --> 06:16:40,220
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yes, ma'am. Okay na po. Maliwalag po.

6292
06:16:40,420 --> 06:16:41,960
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: So, ang Executive Department po.

6293
06:16:43,040 --> 06:16:45,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That is correct po, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

6294
06:16:45,680 --> 06:16:52,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kung wala, masasabi ba ng Kongreso na sa araw ng pagboto natin sa budget,

6295
06:16:52,420 --> 06:16:55,260
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: kung sino talaga yung makakatanggap

6296
06:16:55,260 --> 06:16:56,440
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ng mga LGUs?

6297
06:16:58,240 --> 06:17:01,620
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: On the day that we approve our GAA,

6298
06:17:01,820 --> 06:17:04,620
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: masasabi ba natin kung sino yung mga LGUs

6299
06:17:04,620 --> 06:17:05,420
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: na makakatanggap?

6300

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and the H-GAB on our part,

6303
06:17:18,060 --> 06:17:20,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: hindi pa po natin ma-identify.

6304
06:17:20,120 --> 06:17:23,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Qualified po ang lahat ng local government units

6305
06:17:23,340 --> 06:17:26,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na mag-apply po, mag-submitin ang kanilang mga requests.

6306
06:17:27,000 --> 06:17:29,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Pero kung sino po yung talagang gagawaran

6307

6309
06:17:34,820 --> 06:17:36,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: hindi pa po matutuko yun.

6310
06:17:36,980 --> 06:17:39,020
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ibig pong sabi, may karapatan sila mag-apply.

6311
06:17:40,220 --> 06:17:41,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes po, Madam Speaker.

6312
06:17:41,220 --> 06:17:43,900
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Pero wala silang karapatan na sigurado makatanggap.

6313
06:17:47,060 --> 06:17:49,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Depende po sa evaluation po

6314

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ng

6315
06:17:50,120 --> 06:17:50,860

6396
06:20:39,440 --> 06:20:41,460
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kung ganyan po ang ating katwiran,

6397
06:20:41,560 --> 06:20:42,140
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Madam Speaker,

6398
06:20:42,840 --> 06:20:44,360
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: bakit yung mayayamang LGU

6399
06:20:44,360 --> 06:20:45,040
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: yung nakikinabang?

6400
06:20:45,880 --> 06:20:47,520
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Di ba support to LGU?

6401
06:20:47,520 --> 06:20:48,960
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Bakit nasusuportahan?

6402
06:20:49,040 --> 06:20:51,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yung mayayaman na halos hindi na kailangan ng tulong

6403
06:20:51,320 --> 06:20:54,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: at hindi nasusuportahan yung mga pinakamahirap,

6404
06:20:54,840 --> 06:20:56,120
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: yan po ang data.

6405
06:20:56,860 --> 06:20:58,980
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi naman mapapasilungalingan ang data.

6406
06:21:04,880 --> 06:21:07,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ng ating Distinguished Colleague

6409
06:21:12,360 --> 06:21:14,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na in theory po,

6410
06:21:14,820 --> 06:21:17,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: dapat yung mga malalaking mga syudad,

6411
06:21:17,900 --> 06:21:20,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: dapat yung mga highly-urbanized cities

6413

6414

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ng kanilang sariling lokalidad.

6415
06:21:27,660 --> 06:21:28,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: However po,

6416
06:21:29,020 --> 06:21:30,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: may mga pagkakataon din po

6417

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kung maaari ko pong banggitin,

6420
06:21:36,420 --> 06:21:37,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker,

6421
06:21:37,220 --> 06:21:39,340
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: hindi po may pagkakataon.

6422
06:21:39,480 --> 06:21:41,340
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sa lahat ng pagkakataon,

6423
06:21:41,440 --> 06:21:45,900
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: priority yung mga mayayamang LGUs.

6424

Rep. Edgar R. Erice: yun ang pinakamalalaki.

6427
06:21:51,100 --> 06:21:52,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

6437
06:22:11,900 --> 06:22:13,520

6438
06:22:14,460 --> 06:22:15,040
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ganun din po.

6439
06:22:15,240 --> 06:22:16,240
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yung pinakamayayaman,

6440
06:22:16,860 --> 06:22:17,880
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: yun, yung nabigyan.

6441
06:22:17,900 --> 06:22:22,000

6447
06:22:30,240 --> 06:22:31,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: malinaw po yun,

6448
06:22:31,400 --> 06:22:33,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: population-based po kasi yung release

6449
06:22:33,240 --> 06:22:33,960

6450
06:22:34,220 --> 06:22:35,260

6457
06:22:46,880 --> 06:22:46,900

Rep. Edgar R. Erice: O isang stadium

6459
06:22:50,100 --> 06:22:51,420
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: sa highly urbanized city?

6460
06:22:52,180 --> 06:22:53,280
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ngayon, kung magkakasabay

6461
06:22:53,280 --> 06:22:54,200

6462
06:22:55,180 --> 06:22:56,300
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: pero yung pondo,

6463
06:22:56,840 --> 06:22:57,980
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: sinong priority dito?

6464
06:22:58,600 --> 06:23:01,100

6465
06:23:01,100 --> 06:23:02,800
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ng isang PIP class municipality

6466
06:23:02,800 --> 06:23:05,020
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: o yung stadium

6467
06:23:05,020 --> 06:23:06,900
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ng isang first class city?

6468
06:23:16,240 --> 06:23:17,580
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang punto ko po,

6469
06:23:17,580 --> 06:23:18,500
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Madam Speaker,

6470
06:23:19,380 --> 06:23:20,820
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: hindi ba ang special provision

Rep. Edgar R. Erice: kung ano ang maaring pondohan,

6473
06:23:24,820 --> 06:23:26,440

Rep. Edgar R. Erice: by law.

6710
06:28:44,920 --> 06:28:45,920

Rep. Edgar R. Erice: circular.

6725
06:29:00,740 --> 06:29:01,680
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sapagkat ito po

6726
06:29:01,680 --> 06:29:02,640
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ay hindi

6727
06:29:02,640 --> 06:29:03,640
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: bataas.

6728
06:29:04,020 --> 06:29:04,780
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Dapat dumaan to

6729
06:29:04,780 --> 06:29:05,700

6736
06:29:14,980 --> 06:29:15,560
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: o bagong

6737
06:29:15,560 --> 06:29:15,900
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: approval?

6738
06:29:15,920 --> 06:29:16,540
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Appropriation

6739
06:29:16,540 --> 06:29:17,080
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: decision.

6740
06:29:17,560 --> 06:29:18,240

6745
06:29:22,160 --> 06:29:22,980
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ang appropriation

6746
06:29:22,980 --> 06:29:23,440
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: na ginawa

6747
06:29:23,440 --> 06:29:24,120
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ng Kongreso.

6748
06:29:24,640 --> 06:29:25,260
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ngunit bago

6749
06:29:25,260 --> 06:29:26,080
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: maipatupad

6750
06:29:26,080 --> 06:29:27,200
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ang isang appropriation,

6751
06:29:27,620 --> 06:29:28,340
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: hindi ba dapat

6752
06:29:28,340 --> 06:29:28,940
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: alam na

6753
06:29:28,940 --> 06:29:29,840
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ang layunin,

6754
06:29:30,480 --> 06:29:30,940
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: recipient,

6755
06:29:31,880 --> 06:29:32,560
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: proyekto,

6756
06:29:32,960 --> 06:29:33,760
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: at halaga?

6757
06:29:34,340 --> 06:29:35,400
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kung ang executive

6758
06:29:35,400 --> 06:29:36,660
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: pa ang magpapasyan

6759
06:29:36,660 --> 06:29:37,340
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: sa recipient,

6760
06:29:37,520 --> 06:29:38,040
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: proyekto,

6761
06:29:38,140 --> 06:29:38,500
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: halaga,

6762
06:29:39,400 --> 06:29:40,780
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: pagpapatupad pa lamang

6763
06:29:40,780 --> 06:29:41,240
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ba iyon?

6764
06:29:42,340 --> 06:29:42,940
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Para bang

6765
06:29:42,940 --> 06:29:44,540
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: nangyayari po,

6766
06:29:44,740 --> 06:29:45,620
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: binigyan natin

6767
06:29:45,620 --> 06:29:46,640
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ang Pangulo

6768
06:29:46,640 --> 06:29:48,000
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ng isang budget

6769
06:29:48,000 --> 06:29:49,760
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: within a budget.

6770
06:29:50,780 --> 06:29:51,400
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Meron po siyang

6771
06:29:51,400 --> 06:29:52,420
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: sariling budget

6772
06:29:52,420 --> 06:29:54,440
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: na siya ang magle-legislate

6773
06:29:54,440 --> 06:29:55,440
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: kung saan niya

6774
06:29:55,440 --> 06:29:56,240
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: dadalhin

6775
06:29:56,240 --> 06:29:57,580
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: yung mga pondo.

6776
06:29:57,580 --> 06:29:59,880
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Dahil napaka

6777
06:30:00,000 --> 06:30:13,300
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Lawak po nung ibinigay ng Kongreso na latitude in terms of kung saan, kung paano, kung pa, magkano ang ibibigay sa bawat local government.

6778
06:30:17,300 --> 06:30:24,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, my distinguished colleague, we recognize the point of the Honorable Irise.

6779
06:30:24,080 --> 06:30:31,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If we would like to put additional safeguards as we craft the 2027 General Appropriations Act,

6780
06:30:32,180 --> 06:30:41,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sangayon po ako doon kung gusto natin po na pati po yung evaluation criteria, pati po yung guidelines ay aprobahan ng Kongreso.

6781
06:30:41,960 --> 06:30:47,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Bukas po yung DBM dyan at ako din po bilang chairperson ng Committee on Appropriations,

6782
06:30:47,980 --> 06:30:53,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I would be very happy to work with the Honorable Irise to craft that.

6783
06:30:54,080 --> 06:30:56,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The wording for that special provision.

6784
06:30:56,460 --> 06:30:56,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Salamat po.

6785
06:30:58,000 --> 06:31:01,920
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Maari bang piliin ang executive ang politically favored LGUs?

6786
06:31:02,620 --> 06:31:11,000
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kung maraming LGU ang eligible, ngunit limitado ang pondo, maari bang piliin ang DBM ang isang highly urbanized city kaysa isang mahirap na municipality?

6787
06:31:11,460 --> 06:31:18,280
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Halimbawa, kung maaring pondahan ng 500 million stadium sa isang lungsod na mahigit sa isang bilyong sariling kita,

6788
06:31:18,740 --> 06:31:23,220
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: habang walang pondo ang evacuation center o water system ng isang mahirap na bayan,

6789
06:31:23,220 --> 06:31:26,660
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: anong provision sa batas ang automatic ang nagbabawal nito?

6790
06:31:26,980 --> 06:31:27,380
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Meron ba?

6791
06:31:30,240 --> 06:31:31,720
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: May poverty first rule ba?

6792
06:31:32,160 --> 06:31:34,260
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: May poorest LGU first rule ba?

6793
06:31:34,560 --> 06:31:39,260
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: May rule ba na basic services muna bago stadium o multi-port post building?

6794
06:31:45,840 --> 06:31:48,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues,

6795
06:31:48,100 --> 06:31:52,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sa kasalukuyan po, there is no law or there is no provision that,

6796
06:31:52,880 --> 06:31:55,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: particularly bars, such.

6797
06:31:55,420 --> 06:32:03,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So lahat po ng mga local government units ay qualified po na mag-request at mag-apply para po sa LGSF grants.

6798
06:32:04,000 --> 06:32:06,460
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Publicly verifiable ba ang scoring?

6799
06:32:07,840 --> 06:32:10,220
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Pangalan ng lahat ng aplikanting LGU?

6800
06:32:11,100 --> 06:32:17,420
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Pwede po ba akong mabigyan ng kopya lahat nung nag-apply at lahat nung na-approve at hindi na-approve?

6801
06:32:18,260 --> 06:32:22,420
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Pwede po ba magbigay sa aking tanggapan ang...

6802
06:32:22,880 --> 06:32:23,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: DBM?

6803
06:32:25,320 --> 06:32:29,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, the DBM po agrees to it.

6804
06:32:30,060 --> 06:32:36,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But if we may ask for specifics po, is there a particular timeline we're looking at po for which years po?

6805
06:32:37,100 --> 06:32:38,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: 25 and 26.

6806
06:32:39,700 --> 06:32:40,960
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi naman po madalian.

6807
06:32:41,160 --> 06:32:42,900
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: One or two weeks, okay naman po yan.

6808
06:32:43,660 --> 06:32:43,940
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Opo.

6809
06:32:43,940 --> 06:32:51,340
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sana po may isama yung kanilang ginawang scoring procedure at ranking procedure.

6810
06:32:53,300 --> 06:32:55,980
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Aprobadong halaga at yung dahilan ng rejection.

6811
06:33:05,680 --> 06:33:10,460
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ito po, maliwanag po, Madam Speaker, gusto ko po linawag.

6812
06:33:10,460 --> 06:33:22,460
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Lahat ng mga proyekto na ipatupad ng 2025 at 2026 ay na-identify after...

6813
06:33:22,880 --> 06:33:25,080
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Budget Approval.

6814
06:33:30,080 --> 06:33:34,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, the DBM will generate what they have.

6815
06:33:34,980 --> 06:33:44,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: As of now po, they commit that they will be able to give a list of those who requested, those who were approved, against those who were disapproved.

6816
06:33:44,520 --> 06:33:52,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But as to the reason for the disapproval of every single item po, sisilipin po ng DBM kung meron po sila sa anong level ng datos.

6817
06:33:52,380 --> 06:33:52,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ano lang po?

6818
06:33:52,880 --> 06:33:59,120
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yung veto power po, bago pirmahan ng Pangulo ang GAA, may kapangyarihan siyang ibito.

6819
06:34:00,060 --> 06:34:02,480
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ano mang particular na item sa Appropriations Bill?

6820
06:34:02,920 --> 06:34:11,300
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ngunit kung wala sa bill ang pangalan ng recipient, LGU, o particular na proyekto, halaga, maaari niya bang ibito ito?

6821
06:34:11,500 --> 06:34:11,700
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi.

6822
06:34:12,100 --> 06:34:12,580
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Di po ba?

6823
06:34:14,740 --> 06:34:22,400
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Maaari bang ibito ang isang 500 million na stadium, ngunit panatilihin ang water system kung wala pa naman ang dalawang proyektong ito sa bill?

6824
06:34:22,400 --> 06:34:22,840
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi.

6825
06:34:22,880 --> 06:34:29,880
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi po. Yan po yung nakikita ko pong problema dito sa Lamsam LGSF na ito.

6826
06:34:32,520 --> 06:34:37,360
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang congressional oversight ba ay sapat nakapalit?

6827
06:34:37,380 --> 06:34:41,480
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: The chair would like to respectfully inform the Honorable Erice that his time has elapsed.

6828
06:34:41,600 --> 06:34:46,540
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: You may now finish your interpellation.

6829
06:34:46,740 --> 06:34:49,400
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yes, I'm to last two questions.

6830
06:34:51,400 --> 06:34:52,400
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Maaari bang...

6831
06:34:52,880 --> 06:35:06,200
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sabihin na sapat na yung congressional oversight para maging kapalit nung Lamsam Appropriations at Discretionary Authority ng DBM dito?

6832
06:35:16,200 --> 06:35:21,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, we're just quickly looking at the reportorial requirements for...

6833
06:35:21,380 --> 06:35:25,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For LGSF, if I may po.

6834
06:35:25,420 --> 06:35:32,540
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yung National Tax Allotment po, meron po itong ano eh, meron siyang definite na mga kriteria.

6835
06:35:33,000 --> 06:35:38,800
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Population, poverty incidence, income class, fiscal gap, and disaster vulnerability.

6836
06:35:41,020 --> 06:35:41,700
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Madam Speaker...

6837
06:35:41,700 --> 06:35:42,580
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Dito po ba merong ganito?

6838
06:35:42,900 --> 06:35:49,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, upon checking po, wala pong reportorial requirements as of now.

6839
06:35:49,760 --> 06:35:51,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sa mga nakaraang GAA po.

6840
06:35:51,380 --> 06:35:56,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Wala pong reportorial requirements na talagang nakatoon para po sa LGSF.

6841
06:35:57,380 --> 06:36:08,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Pero meron pong overall report po na sinusumite yung DBM on a quarterly basis with regard to total disbursements, obligations, and the like.

6842
06:36:08,900 --> 06:36:21,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But again po, upon conferring with the DBM, kung atin pong i-require, maglalagay po tayo sa 2027 na GAA ng reportorial requirements patungkol po.

6843
06:36:21,380 --> 06:36:24,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But again po, sa LGSF, bukas din po ang DBM doon.

6844
06:36:24,720 --> 06:36:25,300
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Salamat po.

6845
06:36:25,480 --> 06:36:27,400
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Naniniwala po ako na ang Congress na may power of the...

6846
06:36:27,400 --> 06:36:30,940
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: The Chair would like to remind the Honorable [unclear] that his time has [unclear].

6847
06:36:30,940 --> 06:36:31,440
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yes, this is my last manifestation.

6848
06:36:32,700 --> 06:36:35,520
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Naniniwala po ako ang Congress na may power of the first.

6849
06:36:36,460 --> 06:36:41,780
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kasama sa kapangyarihan ito, ang pagpapasya kung anong programa ang pupondohan at kung magkano.

6850
06:36:42,500 --> 06:36:46,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang executive ay dapat magpatupad, hindi gumawa ng bagong appropriation.

6851
06:36:48,100 --> 06:36:50,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang 2027 palgo, hindi tinutukoy...

6852
06:36:51,380 --> 06:36:54,000
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang 2027 palgo, hindi tinutukoy ng kongreso ang bawat recipient na LGU.

6853
06:36:54,700 --> 06:36:57,440
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi tinutukoy ng kongreso ang bawat proyekto at lokasyon.

6854
06:36:57,960 --> 06:37:01,760
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi tinutukoy ng kongreso ang halagang matatanggap ng bawat LGU.

6855
06:37:02,140 --> 06:37:06,020
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi nagtakda ang kongreso ng mathematical allocation formula.

6856
06:37:06,540 --> 06:37:11,760
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang DBM pa ang bubuo ng kriteriya pagkatapos o up sa post-enactment.

6857
06:37:12,220 --> 06:37:15,360
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang DBM ang nag-a-approve ba o tatanggi sa application.

6858
06:37:15,960 --> 06:37:19,140
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Walang panibagong boto ng kongreso bago ilabas ang pondo.

6859
06:37:21,380 --> 06:37:23,620
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Lahat po ito may public purpose.

6860
06:37:24,340 --> 06:37:34,580
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Pero, kinakailangan po talaga dapat ang kongreso at ang implementation lamang po ang ginagawa ng DMA.

6861
06:37:34,960 --> 06:37:40,140
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Dapat po may guidelines at scorecard na inaprobahan ng kongreso.

6862
06:37:41,460 --> 06:37:44,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Pinapayagan ng Supreme Court ang LAMSAM appropriation.

6863
06:37:45,180 --> 06:37:49,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Di lahat ng LAMSAM ay automaticong konstitusyonal.

6864
06:37:51,380 --> 06:37:57,980
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sapagkat hinihingi ng Korte na identifiable program, activity, or project.

6865
06:37:58,140 --> 06:38:02,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sapat na standards at malinaw na hangganan.

6866
06:38:05,080 --> 06:38:10,040
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kaya po, palagay ko po ay dapat pag-usapan ng kongreso nito.

6867
06:38:10,400 --> 06:38:20,100
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Siguro sa BARC, kung paano natin mapoprotektuhan ang palgo na mabigyan talaga ng tulong.

6868
06:38:20,100 --> 06:38:21,340
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ito po ay support.

6869
06:38:21,380 --> 06:38:24,120
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ito po ay support sa local government.

6870
06:38:24,780 --> 06:38:30,560
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yung mayayaman, hindi na gano'ng kailangan ng supporta.

6871
06:38:31,180 --> 06:38:32,980
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Mas kailangan po ng mahihirap.

6872
06:38:33,620 --> 06:38:40,380
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: 22 billion na halaga ng bigas ang pinamigay noong 2026.

6873
06:38:41,280 --> 06:38:47,580
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ito po, wala po itong economic effect sa pagpapaunlad ng bansa.

6874
06:38:47,580 --> 06:38:51,380
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: At alam ko po, bilang matagal na sa paglilingkod

6875
06:38:51,380 --> 06:38:55,160
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: sa pamahalaan, marami po, marami dito nanakaw lang.

6876
06:38:56,460 --> 06:38:57,440
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Nanakaw lang po.

6877
06:38:58,020 --> 06:39:11,280
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Wala pong absorptive capacity, ang COA, ang DILG, para ma-monitor ang pagbibigay ng 22 billion piso na halaga ng bigas.

6878
06:39:12,180 --> 06:39:18,560
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sayang po kung sana napagawa ng mga ospital, napagawa ng mga paaralan, nabigay sa mga scholars.

6879
06:39:20,060 --> 06:39:21,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Napakarami pong pangangailangan.

6880
06:39:21,380 --> 06:39:23,320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Simple lang po.

6881
06:39:23,640 --> 06:39:27,480
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Alam nyo kung anong dahilan, bakit nagbigay ng 22 billion na bigas?

6882
06:39:29,660 --> 06:39:35,300
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: The sponsor may respond if she wishes to respond because the time for interpellation has ended.

6883
06:39:35,840 --> 06:39:38,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

6884
06:39:39,240 --> 06:39:43,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Again, the DBM appreciates the points raised.

6885
06:39:43,760 --> 06:39:48,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ako din po, na-appreciate ko po yung mga punto na binagit po na ating Distinguished Colleague.

6886
06:39:48,960 --> 06:39:49,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If there are...

6887
06:39:51,380 --> 06:39:59,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The two things we're protecting here, it's the Congress power of the purse and also the fact that we have oversight over the implementation of the program.

6888
06:39:59,760 --> 06:40:15,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yung dalawa pong nabanggit kanina, yung una po ay yung kung gusto po natin na ipasok sa 2027 GAA na magkakaroon po na kailangan pong ipa-approve yun pong guidelines at criteria.

6889
06:40:15,620 --> 06:40:16,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Bukas po ang DBM doon.

6890
06:40:16,860 --> 06:40:20,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: At yung pangalawa, kung maglalagay po tayo ng kadagdaga ng mga reportorial.

6891
06:40:21,380 --> 06:40:32,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, requirements patungkol po sa implementasyon na LGSF, maaari din po natin ilagay yung dalawang provision na yun just to safeguard the power of the purse and the oversight power of Congress.

6892
06:40:32,720 --> 06:40:36,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Madam Speaker, one last point.

6893
06:40:36,680 --> 06:40:40,420
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sinabi po ni Usec Claire Castro.

6894
06:40:42,000 --> 06:40:45,060
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sinabi niya na ang sinasabi ko ay intriga lamang.

6895
06:40:45,560 --> 06:40:48,860
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sa tingin niyo po ba, hindi valid issue yung mga nire-raise ko?

6896
06:40:51,380 --> 06:40:55,680
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: The Chair would like to thank the Honorable Erice for his interpellation.

6897

6898
06:41:00,640 --> 06:41:10,180
Rep. Ramon Rodrigo "Rodge" L. Gutierrez: Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, next to interpellate the sponsor, the majority moves to recognize the Honorable Toby Tiangco of the Lone District of Navotas City.

6900
06:41:29,700 --> 06:41:33,100

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Representative Toby Tiangco from Navotas City is hereby recognized for his interpellation.

6905
06:46:32,860 --> 06:46:55,160
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Madam Speaker, dear sponsor, first of all, I would like to manifest that if because of the condition of the dear sponsor, she wants to yield to any vice chairman, I am willing to let any vice chairman reply to my interpellation instead of the Honorable sponsor because of her condition.

6906
06:46:55,160 --> 06:46:59,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. Thank you very much to our distinguished colleague.

6907
06:47:00,000 --> 06:47:01,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'm truly grateful po for

6909
06:47:03,940 --> 06:47:05,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: into consideration, but I would be very

6910
06:47:05,940 --> 06:47:08,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: happy po and honored to receive

6911
06:47:08,100 --> 06:47:09,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: questions from the Honorable Tiangco.

6912
06:47:11,380 --> 06:47:12,060
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Okay.

6913
06:47:13,180 --> 06:47:13,860
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Dear

06:47:13,860 --> 06:47:16,020
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: sponsor, papaliwanag ko

6915
06:47:16,020 --> 06:47:17,780
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: lang po, no, kung bakit

6916
06:47:17,780 --> 06:47:19,700
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: dito ko po itratanong sa inyo, no,

6917
06:47:19,860 --> 06:47:21,840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I think I should have asked this yesterday

6918
06:47:21,840 --> 06:47:23,040
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: doon sa ating

6919
06:47:23,040 --> 06:47:25,840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: DPWH, sponsored by

6920
06:47:25,840 --> 06:47:28,000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Congressman Momo, but he told me

6921
06:47:28,940 --> 06:47:29,940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: he has no

6922
06:47:29,940 --> 06:47:32,100
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: authority to speak, but he asked me

6923
06:47:32,100 --> 06:47:34,200
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: if I could ask you, so I agreed naman po, no.

6924
06:47:34,680 --> 06:47:35,580
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So, first of all,

6925
06:47:36,080 --> 06:47:37,960
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I would like to give you a brief

6926
06:47:37,960 --> 06:47:39,820
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: background, no, on why

6927
06:47:39,820 --> 06:47:41,740
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I am passionate about this, no.

6928
06:47:43,960 --> 06:47:45,680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yung mga kasamahan ko po dito

6929
06:47:45,680 --> 06:47:48,200
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: noong 19th Congress,

6930
06:47:49,140 --> 06:47:49,840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: alam po nila

6931
06:47:49,840 --> 06:47:51,740
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na ako po yung nag-aral

6932
06:47:51,740 --> 06:47:54,000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: noong budget noong

6933
06:47:54,860 --> 06:47:56,240
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: 2025,

6934
06:47:56,520 --> 06:47:57,780
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: kung bakit nag... kasi

6935
06:47:57,780 --> 06:47:59,100
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ganito po yung history niyan, eh.

6936
06:47:59,940 --> 06:48:02,300
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yung 2025 budget, hindi po

6937
06:48:02,300 --> 06:48:03,280
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: naabutan

6938
06:48:03,280 --> 06:48:05,780
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na ma-veto lahat nung

6939
06:48:05,780 --> 06:48:08,340
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: insertions. So, pinahold po,

6940
06:48:08,800 --> 06:48:09,480
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: pinastop

6941
06:48:09,480 --> 06:48:12,360
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ang implementation ng lahat ng insertions

6942
06:48:12,360 --> 06:48:13,780
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: noon, and I had to study

6943
06:48:13,780 --> 06:48:16,040
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: bakit nagka-problema doon.

6944
06:48:16,320 --> 06:48:18,180
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: And these are the things that I found,

6945
06:48:18,320 --> 06:48:19,800
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: no. One,

6946
06:48:20,080 --> 06:48:22,160
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I found that if we only

6947
06:48:22,160 --> 06:48:24,380
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: compared, kung pinagkumpara

6948
06:48:24,380 --> 06:48:26,140
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: lang po natin, yung

6949
06:48:26,140 --> 06:48:28,040
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: budget per

6950
06:48:28,040 --> 06:48:28,680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: district,

6951
06:48:29,940 --> 06:48:31,840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: at nakita natin lahat,

6952
06:48:32,240 --> 06:48:34,460
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: makikita kaagad natin yung mga bumubukol

6953
06:48:34,460 --> 06:48:35,920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na districts.

6954
06:48:36,620 --> 06:48:38,720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Kasi doon sa mga bumubukol na districts,

6955
06:48:38,860 --> 06:48:40,360
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: doon nagkaroon problema. Ano po

6956
06:48:40,360 --> 06:48:41,900
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ang ibig sabihin ko na bumubukol?

6957
06:48:42,580 --> 06:48:44,260
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Because, di ba, if we will divide

6958
06:48:44,260 --> 06:48:46,360
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: the total DPWH

6959
06:48:46,360 --> 06:48:48,480
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: budget by the number of districts,

6960
06:48:49,560 --> 06:48:50,520
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ang average

6961
06:48:50,520 --> 06:48:52,580
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: niyan would be about 2 billion. So, more or less,

6962
06:48:52,660 --> 06:48:54,220
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: may mas mababa sa 2 billion,

6963
06:48:54,320 --> 06:48:56,100
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: may mas mataas sa 2 billion. So, wala naman

6964
06:48:56,100 --> 06:48:58,200
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: problema doon. Pero kung

6965
06:48:58,200 --> 06:48:59,760
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ginawa lang natin yung

6966
06:48:59,760 --> 06:49:01,940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: earlier, makikita natin ng districts na may

6967
06:49:01,940 --> 06:49:03,780
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: mga districts na

6968
06:49:03,780 --> 06:49:05,960
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: 20 billion. Eh, pero

6969
06:49:05,960 --> 06:49:07,680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: nalaman na lang natin huli nung

6970
06:49:07,680 --> 06:49:09,920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: binubusisi na natin yun. So, that is

6971
06:49:09,920 --> 06:49:11,920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: the reason why I am advocating

6972
06:49:11,920 --> 06:49:13,600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na ipakita natin

6973
06:49:13,600 --> 06:49:15,420
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: yung budget per district. Two,

6974
06:49:15,820 --> 06:49:17,960
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: para maiwasan na natin to. Number one

6975
06:49:17,960 --> 06:49:19,760
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: po yan. Number two,

6976
06:49:20,440 --> 06:49:21,560
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: pag tinanong mo naman yung mga

6977
06:49:21,560 --> 06:49:23,740
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: congressman nung district

6978
06:49:23,740 --> 06:49:25,860
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na kung saan bumukol,

6979
06:49:26,440 --> 06:49:27,680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: sasabihin ng mga congressman,

6980
06:49:27,760 --> 06:49:28,540
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: hindi kanila yan.

6981
06:49:29,760 --> 06:49:31,640
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So, di ba, nasisisi sila sa hindi naman

6982
06:49:31,640 --> 06:49:33,080
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ka nila. And,

6983
06:49:34,780 --> 06:49:35,580
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ang masakit doon,

6984
06:49:35,800 --> 06:49:37,560
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: isa doon sa mga malalaki ang

6985
06:49:37,560 --> 06:49:39,720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: pinasok doon,

6986
06:49:39,940 --> 06:49:41,700
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ay mga party list. For example, the biggest

6987
06:49:41,700 --> 06:49:43,920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: party list na nag-insert

6988
06:49:43,920 --> 06:49:46,400
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: doon is TINGOG with 5.96

6989
06:49:46,400 --> 06:49:47,860
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: billion. So, that is

6990
06:49:47,860 --> 06:49:49,920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: the reason why I am advocating this. Para

6991
06:49:49,920 --> 06:49:51,460
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: maiwasan yun, no?

6992
06:49:51,860 --> 06:49:53,640
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So, ganito po. Para hindi

6993
06:49:53,640 --> 06:49:54,720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: tumagal yung ating

6994
06:49:54,720 --> 06:49:56,440
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: usapan.

6995
06:49:57,840 --> 06:49:59,200
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So, that is the reason, no?

6996
06:49:59,760 --> 06:50:01,620
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: And then, 2026, supposed, dapat

6997
06:50:01,620 --> 06:50:03,600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: binago na natin yan. Okay?

6998
06:50:04,160 --> 06:50:06,060
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Ang problema in my district,

6999
06:50:06,520 --> 06:50:07,460
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: in my district,

7000
06:50:07,700 --> 06:50:09,760
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: and I've written you about this, is

7001
06:50:09,760 --> 06:50:11,880
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: may dalawang projects

7002
06:50:11,880 --> 06:50:13,920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na hindi talaga ma-implement

7003
06:50:13,920 --> 06:50:15,240
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng DPWH.

7004
06:50:16,180 --> 06:50:16,760
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yung isa,

7005
06:50:17,860 --> 06:50:19,120
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: construction,

7006
06:50:19,720 --> 06:50:21,680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: completion of multi-purpose

7007
06:50:21,680 --> 06:50:23,940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: building, barangay

7008
06:50:23,940 --> 06:50:25,840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: center, barangay

7009
06:50:25,840 --> 06:50:26,680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Tansa 2.

7010
06:50:28,960 --> 06:50:29,720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yan,

7011
06:50:29,760 --> 06:50:31,500
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng title, pero wala namang

7012
06:50:31,500 --> 06:50:33,680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: kinonstruct na multi-purpose building.

7013
06:50:33,820 --> 06:50:35,320
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So, papaano magkakaroon ng

7014
06:50:35,320 --> 06:50:37,220
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: completion? Isa yan.

7015
06:50:38,060 --> 06:50:39,840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Pangalawa po, construction,

7016
06:50:40,100 --> 06:50:41,980
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: completion, same title, multi-purpose

7017
06:50:41,980 --> 06:50:44,060
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: building facilities, barangay San Rafael

7018
06:50:44,060 --> 06:50:45,280
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Village, Navotas,

7019
06:50:45,760 --> 06:50:47,640
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: 3 million. Wala rin pong

7020
06:50:47,640 --> 06:50:50,020
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: kinonstruct. So, papaano

7021
06:50:50,020 --> 06:50:51,900
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: magkakaroon ng completion? So, dalawa po

7022
06:50:51,900 --> 06:50:53,000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: yung concern ko dito.

7023
06:50:53,840 --> 06:50:55,540
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Ang isang concern ko is

7024
06:50:55,540 --> 06:50:58,160
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: hindi siya implementable.

7025
06:50:58,680 --> 06:50:59,220
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Buti na lang,

7026
06:50:59,760 --> 06:51:01,140
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: 3 million

7027
06:51:01,140 --> 06:51:03,920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: each yung amount, hindi malaking

7028
06:51:03,920 --> 06:51:05,840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: pera yung nasayang ng gobyerno. Imagine

7029
06:51:05,840 --> 06:51:07,960
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: if it were a 100 million project

7030
06:51:07,960 --> 06:51:09,520
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na hindi implementable,

7031
06:51:09,920 --> 06:51:11,720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: di, 100 million yung hindi

7032
06:51:11,720 --> 06:51:13,920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: nagawa. Okay. Number two,

7033
06:51:14,720 --> 06:51:15,660
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: since ako po yung

7034
06:51:15,660 --> 06:51:17,840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: district congressman, pag may

7035
06:51:17,840 --> 06:51:19,000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: nakakita nito sa

7036
06:51:19,000 --> 06:51:22,040
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: DPWH website, at alam naman nilang

7037
06:51:22,040 --> 06:51:23,700
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: walang kinonstruct,

7038
06:51:23,700 --> 06:51:26,060
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: tapos may completion, ako naman pagdududahan

7039
06:51:26,060 --> 06:51:26,660
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: nila na

7040
06:51:26,660 --> 06:51:29,600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: naglagay ng project na hindi

7041
06:51:29,600 --> 06:51:31,240
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: naman implementable.

7042
06:51:32,380 --> 06:51:33,740
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Okay. Number three,

7043
06:51:34,640 --> 06:51:37,940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ito po,

7044
06:51:38,500 --> 06:51:39,460
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: wala po ito sa NEP.

7045
06:51:40,780 --> 06:51:42,060
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Pumasok lang siya sa

7046
06:51:42,060 --> 06:51:43,640
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: HGAB. So,

7047
06:51:43,800 --> 06:51:45,160
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: naipasok to doon sa

7048
06:51:45,160 --> 06:51:47,320
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: BARC. Okay.

7049
06:51:47,680 --> 06:51:49,180
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Kasi wala siya sa NEP.

7050
06:51:49,540 --> 06:51:51,500
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: And when I asked the district engineer,

7051
06:51:51,640 --> 06:51:53,080
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: sabi nila, hindi nagpaalam sa kanila.

7052
06:51:53,560 --> 06:51:55,320
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Sabi nung city engineer, hindi nila alam yung

7053
06:51:55,320 --> 06:51:57,140
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: proyekto. Sabi nung barangay,

7054
06:51:57,740 --> 06:51:59,480
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: yung isang barangay talagang totally wala.

7055
06:51:59,600 --> 06:52:01,600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yung isang barangay, iba

7056
06:52:01,600 --> 06:52:03,000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: daw naman yung gustong ipagawa.

7057
06:52:03,460 --> 06:52:05,720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Sabi ko, delikado yan because that is not the title.

7058
06:52:06,000 --> 06:52:07,520
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Okay. Yun lang yung pinagagalingan ko.

7059
06:52:07,980 --> 06:52:09,120
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So, number one,

7060
06:52:10,600 --> 06:52:13,740
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: can the

7061
06:52:13,740 --> 06:52:15,220
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: honorable chair

7062
06:52:15,220 --> 06:52:17,680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: assure me na wala

7063
06:52:17,680 --> 06:52:19,600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng party list

7064
06:52:19,600 --> 06:52:21,600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na nakakapagpasok

7065
06:52:22,640 --> 06:52:23,500
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng ganyang kalaking

7066
06:52:23,500 --> 06:52:24,320
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: mga amounts?

7067
06:52:26,720 --> 06:52:27,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Madam

7068
06:52:27,580 --> 06:52:28,330
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Speaker.

7069
06:52:28,330 --> 06:52:29,440
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yes. Okay. Thank you.

7070
06:52:29,600 --> 06:52:31,880
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Number two,

7071
06:52:33,220 --> 06:52:33,700
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I am not

7072
06:52:33,700 --> 06:52:35,120
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: against party list

7073
06:52:35,120 --> 06:52:37,760
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: proposing projects or requesting

7074
06:52:37,760 --> 06:52:39,420
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: projects because they also have

7075
06:52:39,420 --> 06:52:41,720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: constituencies. Naintindihan ko yan.

7076
06:52:42,240 --> 06:52:43,820
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Wala akong pagtatalo

7077
06:52:43,820 --> 06:52:44,060
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: dyan.

7078
06:52:45,660 --> 06:52:46,860
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: But ang request ko lang,

7079
06:52:47,580 --> 06:52:48,120
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Madam Chair,

7080
06:52:49,460 --> 06:52:51,860
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: is if they have requests

7081
06:52:51,860 --> 06:52:53,640
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: or projects that they

7082
06:52:53,640 --> 06:52:54,520
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: want to sponsor,

7083
06:52:55,380 --> 06:52:56,560
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: idaan naman muna nila sa

7084
06:52:56,560 --> 06:52:58,760
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: DPWH. Hindi sa akin.

7085
06:52:58,940 --> 06:52:59,100
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Hindi.

7086
06:52:59,600 --> 06:53:01,320
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Wala akong problema, I think we should

7087
06:53:01,320 --> 06:53:04,400
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: institutionalize it

7088
06:53:04,400 --> 06:53:06,940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na kung ang district congressman

7089
06:53:06,940 --> 06:53:09,280
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: pumipili doon sa RDC lang

7090
06:53:09,280 --> 06:53:11,800
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng ilalagay doon sa distrito niya,

7091
06:53:13,420 --> 06:53:14,020
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: sana naman,

7092
06:53:14,520 --> 06:53:15,560
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: pati yung party list,

7093
06:53:16,660 --> 06:53:18,260
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: dumaan din sila sa DPWH

7094
06:53:18,260 --> 06:53:19,560
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: at doon sila mag-request

7095
06:53:19,560 --> 06:53:21,140
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng projects. Pwede po ba yun?

7096
06:53:22,720 --> 06:53:23,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker,

7097
06:53:23,820 --> 06:53:25,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: distinguished colleagues, so what

7098
06:53:25,200 --> 06:53:27,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I can assure is whichever

7099
06:53:27,100 --> 06:53:29,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: projects are included in the

7100
06:53:29,600 --> 06:53:31,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 2027 na HGAB

7101
06:53:31,680 --> 06:53:33,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and eventually the GAA,

7102
06:53:34,120 --> 06:53:35,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: maaayon po tayo doon po sa mga

7103
06:53:35,900 --> 06:53:37,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: requirements noong nag-budget

7104
06:53:37,900 --> 06:53:39,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: call po yung DBM. So

7105
06:53:39,540 --> 06:53:41,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the same safeguards po, all

7106
06:53:41,580 --> 06:53:43,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: documentary requirements and a lot

7107
06:53:43,840 --> 06:53:45,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of the documentary requirements

7108
06:53:45,720 --> 06:53:47,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: emanate from the DEOS

7109
06:53:47,640 --> 06:53:50,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: themselves, yung BP-202,

7110
06:53:50,740 --> 06:53:51,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung mga

7111
06:53:51,280 --> 06:53:53,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Certificate of Implementability,

7112
06:53:53,760 --> 06:53:55,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: mga actual program of works,

7113
06:53:56,060 --> 06:53:57,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yun po kasi yung mga RDC

7114
06:53:57,900 --> 06:53:59,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: or MDC approvals.

7115
06:53:59,600 --> 06:54:01,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'm missing one, geotagging

7116
06:54:01,820 --> 06:54:03,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at sa coordinates. Ito po kasi

7117
06:54:03,940 --> 06:54:05,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung limang pamantayan na

7118
06:54:05,820 --> 06:54:07,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: talaga pong ginamit ng DBM noong

7119
06:54:07,680 --> 06:54:09,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: budget call. So we will adhere to the same

7120
06:54:09,660 --> 06:54:11,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: standards and make sure

7121
06:54:11,960 --> 06:54:14,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that all the projects in the HGAB

7122
06:54:14,100 --> 06:54:15,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and the GAA adhere to the same

7123
06:54:15,780 --> 06:54:16,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: standards po.

7124
06:54:17,520 --> 06:54:19,120
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yes po, so ibig sabihin po,

7125
06:54:19,560 --> 06:54:21,420
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: DPWH po talaga ang

7126
06:54:21,420 --> 06:54:23,680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: dapat magdaan. Kasi yung nangyari

7127
06:54:23,680 --> 06:54:25,900
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: sa amin, I'm not

7128
06:54:25,900 --> 06:54:27,680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: singling out any party list, kaya ayoko

7129
06:54:27,680 --> 06:54:29,520
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: nang i-identify kung sino yung party list.

7130
06:54:29,600 --> 06:54:31,660
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Nalaman ko rin later, prior

7131
06:54:31,660 --> 06:54:33,600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: to that, hindi ko alam. Pero nalaman ko

7132
06:54:33,600 --> 06:54:35,540
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: sa district engineer, may mga kumakausap

7133
06:54:35,540 --> 06:54:37,420
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: sa kanila na gustong pa-implement.

7134
06:54:37,560 --> 06:54:39,660
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Pero sabi nila, hindi implementable.

7135
06:54:39,820 --> 06:54:41,620
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So alam ko namin. So it's not about singling

7136
06:54:41,620 --> 06:54:43,380
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: any party list because alam ko naman,

7137
06:54:43,720 --> 06:54:45,840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: may constituencies din naman

7138
06:54:45,840 --> 06:54:46,740
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: yung party list, diba?

7139
06:54:47,340 --> 06:54:49,600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I mean, if district congressmen have constituencies,

7140
06:54:49,800 --> 06:54:51,460
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: party list representatives have

7141
06:54:51,460 --> 06:54:53,560
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: constituencies, and party list

7142
06:54:53,560 --> 06:54:54,860
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: party list

7143
06:54:54,860 --> 06:54:57,260
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: representatives, constituencies

7144
06:54:57,260 --> 06:54:59,520
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: are different from

7145
06:54:59,520 --> 06:55:01,620
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: each other, diba? May party list

7146
06:55:01,620 --> 06:55:02,940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na mas kailangan nila yung

7147
06:55:02,940 --> 06:55:05,540
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: soft. May party list

7148
06:55:05,540 --> 06:55:06,780
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na mas kailangan nila yung

7149
06:55:06,780 --> 06:55:09,220
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: hard. Naiintindihan naman natin yun. But

7150
06:55:09,220 --> 06:55:11,500
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ang hiling ko lang dito lagi

7151
06:55:11,500 --> 06:55:13,400
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: is transparency

7152
06:55:13,400 --> 06:55:15,000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: and accountability.

7153
06:55:15,900 --> 06:55:17,040
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Let's be transparent.

7154
06:55:17,360 --> 06:55:20,180
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Huwag na nating sabihin na hindi nakakapag-request

7155
06:55:20,180 --> 06:55:21,860
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng proyekto yung party list

7156
06:55:21,860 --> 06:55:23,940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: kasi nakakapag-request naman sila

7157
06:55:23,940 --> 06:55:25,600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: talaga, diba? So let's just

7158
06:55:25,600 --> 06:55:27,380
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: be open about that.

7159
06:55:28,520 --> 06:55:29,380
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Kasi the more we

7160
06:55:29,520 --> 06:55:31,080
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: deny na nakakapag-request,

7161
06:55:31,440 --> 06:55:33,140
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: lalong lumalabas parang may masama

7162
06:55:33,140 --> 06:55:35,180
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na mag-request yung party list.

7163
06:55:35,260 --> 06:55:37,200
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Eh wala naman masama eh. Congressman naman sila eh.

7164
06:55:37,460 --> 06:55:39,100
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: May constituency naman sila.

7165
06:55:39,380 --> 06:55:41,320
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Kung napagbigyan ng DPWH at nakita

7166
06:55:41,320 --> 06:55:43,220
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng DPWH na kailangan yung proyekto,

7167
06:55:43,300 --> 06:55:45,440
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ano bang masama dun? Ang sinasabi ko lang,

7168
06:55:45,820 --> 06:55:46,720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: let's be transparent.

7169
06:55:47,020 --> 06:55:49,340
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Pakita natin, ito yung sa district, ito yung sa

7170
06:55:49,340 --> 06:55:51,000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: party list. Because mahirap din eh.

7171
06:55:51,400 --> 06:55:53,100
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: For example, nag-request yung party list

7172
06:55:53,100 --> 06:55:54,960
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng isang proyekto na ipagawa.

7173
06:55:56,820 --> 06:55:57,260
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I hope you

7174
06:55:57,260 --> 06:55:59,160
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: understand. I'm sure you will understand this

7175
06:55:59,520 --> 06:56:00,780
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: because you're a district congresswoman.

7176
06:56:01,440 --> 06:56:03,680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: For example, hindi lahat po ng request

7177
06:56:03,680 --> 06:56:05,560
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng constituency natin na papagbigyan

7178
06:56:05,560 --> 06:56:06,580
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: natin. Tama po ba yun?

7179
06:56:07,540 --> 06:56:08,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tama po, Madam Speaker.

7180
06:56:09,420 --> 06:56:11,340
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Ang daming request na hindi natin mapagbigyan.

7181
06:56:11,840 --> 06:56:13,420
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Tama po? Tama po.

7182
06:56:13,860 --> 06:56:15,320
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Okay. Ngayon,

7183
06:56:15,440 --> 06:56:17,280
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: makakapagtayo yung party list ng isang

7184
06:56:17,280 --> 06:56:17,940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: proyekto

7185
06:56:17,940 --> 06:56:21,540
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na later on, sasabihin po

7186
06:56:21,540 --> 06:56:23,800
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng mga constituencies natin,

7187
06:56:24,460 --> 06:56:25,680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: bakit yun napagbigyan?

7188
06:56:26,900 --> 06:56:27,180
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Kami,

7189
06:56:27,180 --> 06:56:29,120
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: yung mas hinihingi namin, mas

7190
06:56:29,120 --> 06:56:30,720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: importante, hindi napagbigyan.

7191
06:56:31,200 --> 06:56:32,940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Sa atin, nagagalit because they think

7192
06:56:32,940 --> 06:56:34,400
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: for them, it's not needed.

7193
06:56:35,160 --> 06:56:37,060
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Diba? So bakit hindi tayo maging

7194
06:56:37,060 --> 06:56:38,680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: transparent na hindi namin proyekto yan?

7195
06:56:39,160 --> 06:56:40,960
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Proyekto yan ang party list.

7196
06:56:41,040 --> 06:56:42,720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yun lang po ang hinihingi ko, Madam Speaker.

7197
06:56:44,920 --> 06:56:47,100
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Will the Honorable Sponsor agree with that

7198
06:56:47,100 --> 06:56:47,800
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: request?

7199

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We will, ano po,

07:11:05,360 --> 07:11:07,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yun po yung main driver

7577
07:11:07,260 --> 07:11:09,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nung pagtaas nung amount.

7578
07:11:09,240 --> 07:11:11,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yung People's Survival Fund po, pareho pa rin po.

7579
07:11:12,060 --> 07:11:14,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Pero, nakabatay na rin po

7580
07:11:14,340 --> 07:11:15,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: tayo sa replenishment

7581
07:11:15,500 --> 07:11:17,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po doon sa

7582
07:11:17,120 --> 07:11:19,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: QRF. At yung

7583
07:11:19,220 --> 07:11:20,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: panghuli po, yung

7584
07:11:20,400 --> 07:11:23,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Disaster Rehabilitation Reconstruction

7585
07:11:23,280 --> 07:11:25,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Assistance Program, medyo binabaan po

7586
07:11:25,840 --> 07:11:26,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: by 600 million.

7587
07:11:26,860 --> 07:11:28,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: From 15.3 billion to

7588
07:11:28,740 --> 07:11:31,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 14.67 billion.

7589
07:11:31,500 --> 07:11:32,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yun po yung

7590
07:11:32,300 --> 07:11:34,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: hindi po arbitrary, yung

7591
07:11:34,820 --> 07:11:37,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pag-set po ng 45.67

7592
07:11:37,060 --> 07:11:37,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion pesos,

7593
07:11:38,380 --> 07:11:40,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nakadepende pa rin po sa utilization

7594
07:11:40,860 --> 07:11:42,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: rate and anticipated

7595
07:11:42,900 --> 07:11:44,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: potential

7596
07:11:44,560 --> 07:11:46,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: climate and disaster related shocks

7597
07:11:46,900 --> 07:11:48,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po, pare sa taong 2027.

7598
07:11:49,180 --> 07:11:50,660
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Speaker, Distinguished

7599
07:11:50,660 --> 07:11:52,840
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Sponsor, yun lang pong follow-up question ko

7600
07:11:52,840 --> 07:11:53,980
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: dun sa tanong about

7601
07:11:54,980 --> 07:11:56,220
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: the budget na

7602
07:11:56,860 --> 07:11:58,440
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: 45.67 billion,

7603
07:11:58,440 --> 07:12:01,240
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ano pong mangyayari

7604
07:12:01,240 --> 07:12:03,000
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: kapag ito po ay naubos sa

7605
07:12:03,000 --> 07:12:05,000
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: kalagitnaan ng tagtuyot?

7606
07:12:07,920 --> 07:12:09,760
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: At sinasabi natin, malaking chance

7607
07:12:09,760 --> 07:12:11,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: na mauubos ito, kasi nga po,

7608
07:12:11,740 --> 07:12:14,200
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: given yung naging record ng loss

7609
07:12:14,200 --> 07:12:16,840
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: at immensity, nung huling

7610
07:12:16,840 --> 07:12:19,300
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: El Nino noong 2020, 2024,

7611
07:12:19,300 --> 07:12:20,620
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: parang medyo malayo po yung

7612
07:12:20,620 --> 07:12:23,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: amount na ito sa kakailanganin.

7613
07:12:23,540 --> 07:12:32,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, we have several options as to how to go about it.

7614
07:12:32,880 --> 07:12:40,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yung una po, meron din po tayong contingent fund. Isa pa pong uri ng lump sum funds na pwede din po natin i-access.

7615
07:12:41,020 --> 07:12:49,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Meron pong isa pa, ilalim po ng bawat ahensya, may iba't iba pong mga programa na maaari din po natin ma-utilize.

7616
07:12:49,540 --> 07:12:58,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But if in case po, wala ng ibang programa sa ibang ahensya na akma doon sa pangangailangan na kailangan po nating respondehan,

7617
07:12:59,140 --> 07:13:02,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we can utilize po the general provision on the use of savings.

7618
07:13:03,240 --> 07:13:13,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So pwede po tayong humiling sa iba't iba mga ahensya na mag-identify ng mga savings na pwede po natin i-revert to the National Treasury

7619
07:13:13,980 --> 07:13:18,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po pwedeng ma-reallocate po doon po sa pangangailangan.

7620
07:13:19,540 --> 07:13:20,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sa ibang mga ahensya.

7621
07:13:21,480 --> 07:13:32,240
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, this representation cannot overemphasize the importance of ensuring that the 2027 budget is an El Niño-ready budget.

7622
07:13:32,820 --> 07:13:37,680
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: And we hope that this will be reflected in the final copy of the HGAP.

7623
07:13:38,460 --> 07:13:42,260
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Punta naman po tayo sa usapin ulit ng Local Government Support Fund.

7624
07:13:42,840 --> 07:13:49,520
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kung tunay pong para sa bawat bayan ng LGSF, sangayon po ba kayong i-itemize?

7625
07:13:49,540 --> 07:13:51,760
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ito sa GAA for 2027.

7626
07:13:53,060 --> 07:14:01,160
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Meaning papangalanan po natin ang mga LGU at proyekto na paglalaanan nito kagaya ng ginagawa sa ibang budget line items.

7627
07:14:13,040 --> 07:14:16,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, my apologies po.

7628
07:14:16,660 --> 07:14:18,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May one comment upon the previous response.

7629
07:14:19,540 --> 07:14:25,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I assure po that we will do our best to make sure that the 2027 budget is El Niño-ready.

7630
07:14:26,780 --> 07:14:34,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Hopefully po makapag-reinforce po natin yung budget ng DA patungkol po doon sa mga fertilizer assistance and all.

7631
07:14:34,980 --> 07:14:38,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But we will do our best. I can give you my assurance po.

7632
07:14:38,720 --> 07:14:47,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Doon po sa tanong patungkol po sa paggagawa ng line item para po sa iba't ibang components ng LGSF.

7633
07:14:47,480 --> 07:14:59,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Bagamat, ideally, gusto sana natin na ma-i-line item yun at ma-identify na po sa punto na ating pag-aproba ng HGAB.

7634
07:15:00,000 --> 07:15:08,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ano po kasi? Request-driven. Request-driven po kasi yung pag-evaluate at pag-release ng LGSF.

7635
07:15:08,540 --> 07:15:16,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: At sa kanilahilanan po na ito, at the point of us deliberating on the HGAB and the GAA,

7636
07:15:16,480 --> 07:15:26,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we still do not have visibility as to which LGUs will be requesting for projects under LGSF in the upcoming fiscal year.

7637
07:15:26,120 --> 07:15:32,860
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, parang ang sagot niyo po doon sa tanong ko ay no, ano, hindi po. Tama po ba?

7638
07:15:33,920 --> 07:15:42,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, unfortunately, as much as it pains me to say, opo, hindi po kaya na-align item sa punto po ng HGAB.

7639
07:15:42,760 --> 07:15:49,280
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, kung hindi po, ang tanong po ng marami ay, kung ganyan,

7640
07:15:49,280 --> 07:15:55,160
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ano na ang pinagkaiba ng LGSF sa pork barrel na tinatawag na unconstitutional

7641
07:15:55,160 --> 07:15:58,280
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ng Supreme Court sa Belgica v. Ochoa?

7642
07:16:08,720 --> 07:16:17,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, if I may, so with regard to this point po, the Supreme Court has already addressed this legal question.

7643
07:16:17,740 --> 07:16:23,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The Supreme Court, in the case of Belgica v. Secretary of Budget and Management et al.,

7644
07:16:23,940 --> 07:16:25,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: has already ruled that,

7645
07:16:25,160 --> 07:16:32,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: LGSF is a valid item of appropriation as it complies with the rule on singular correspondence

7646
07:16:32,120 --> 07:16:40,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because it has the discernible and singular appropriation purpose of providing funds for the support of local government units.

7647
07:16:40,240 --> 07:16:43,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It satisfies both the completeness and sufficient standard test.

7648
07:16:44,820 --> 07:16:53,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That's why there has already been jurisprudence on the matter, which essentially says that LGSF is not pork barrel.

7649
07:16:54,000 --> 07:16:55,140
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Speaker,

7650
07:16:55,180 --> 07:16:56,000
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Distinguished Sponsor,

7651
07:16:56,440 --> 07:16:59,580
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: sigurado po ako na unawaan niyo where our reservation is coming from,

7652
07:17:00,100 --> 07:17:03,880
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: particularly po dito sa highly discretionary na nature ng pondo.

7653
07:17:04,320 --> 07:17:12,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kaya po, kinakailangan talaga ng transparency when it comes to the criteria, the scorecard,

7654
07:17:13,400 --> 07:17:15,960
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ano ba talaga yung rules that govern this.

7655
07:17:16,060 --> 07:17:21,240
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kasi if you understand it correctly, the Growth Equity Fund Circular does contain a real formula.

7656
07:17:21,780 --> 07:17:24,020
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ito pong larger assistance window does not.

7657
07:17:24,020 --> 07:17:25,020
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: It turns on a scorecard.

7658
07:17:25,160 --> 07:17:27,920
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: It turns on a scorecard that DBM wrote and has not yet published.

7659
07:17:28,400 --> 07:17:36,120
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kaya nga po, through the Committee on Appropriations, baka pwede pong hingin natin yung scorecard, yung mga scores, yung ranking,

7660
07:17:36,560 --> 07:17:42,520
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: at ano po yung rule na kinakailangan para po constantly ma-check natin yung transparency when it comes to this.

7661
07:17:42,800 --> 07:17:44,460
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

7662
07:17:51,340 --> 07:17:54,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, I have here in my possession,

7663
07:17:54,940 --> 07:18:02,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: a copy of the scorecard which DBM uses to evaluate programs and projects.

7664
07:18:02,540 --> 07:18:08,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So we would be very happy po to share a copy of such scorecard to our distinguished colleague.

7665
07:18:10,420 --> 07:18:18,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But if I may quickly po go through, very high level lang naman po yung categories dito po sa scorecard.

7666
07:18:19,380 --> 07:18:22,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So there are several areas we're looking at.

7667
07:18:22,240 --> 07:18:24,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So it's good financial housekeeping.

7668
07:18:24,060 --> 07:18:29,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Functionality of the Local Development Council, Compliance with Subaybayan Reporting Requirements,

7669
07:18:29,060 --> 07:18:33,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Financial Accomplishment, Physical Accomplishment, and Additional Criteria.

7670
07:18:33,060 --> 07:18:37,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So yun po yung ilan sa mga pamantayan doon po sa scorecard.

7671
07:18:37,060 --> 07:18:41,060
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Maraming salamat po Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

7672
07:18:41,060 --> 07:18:47,060
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Punta naman po tayo doon sa usapin ng abandoned at declaration of savings.

7673
07:18:47,060 --> 07:18:53,060
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, what does abandoned mean for purposes of declaring savings?

7674
07:18:53,060 --> 07:18:53,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Can a project

7675
07:18:53,540 --> 07:18:57,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: be declared abandoned even before the contract is awarded?

7676
07:19:07,540 --> 07:19:20,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, it lies with the different agencies as to their criteria for determining what an abandoned project is.

7677
07:19:20,540 --> 07:19:22,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: On the part po of the DBM, they're unable to answer.

7678
07:19:23,540 --> 07:19:24,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: At their level.

7679
07:19:24,540 --> 07:19:35,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kasi po ang dumadating na lang po sa kanila ay ito na po yung listahan ng mga projects na deemed abandoned ng iba't ibang mga ahensya.

7680
07:19:35,540 --> 07:19:41,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But we would be very happy po to facilitate, if I may commit on the part of DBM,

7681
07:19:41,540 --> 07:19:50,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we can facilitate po the discussion with the different agencies as to what criteria they use po for the declaration of abandonment.

7682
07:19:50,540 --> 07:19:55,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Sige po, hihintayin po natin yan from the DBM, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

7683
07:19:55,540 --> 07:19:58,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Let me now go to the last set of questions.

7684
07:19:58,540 --> 07:20:00,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Pasensya na po, I promise 15 minutes.

7685
07:20:00,540 --> 07:20:02,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Nag-exceed na po tayo ng 3 minutes.

7686
07:20:02,540 --> 07:20:06,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Subukan po natin hanggang 20 minutes, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

7687
07:20:06,540 --> 07:20:12,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ito po ang aking huling tanong ay tungkol naman po sa program appropriations.

7688
07:20:12,540 --> 07:20:18,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Sa 2026 GAA po, 97.3 billion ang nakalaan sa support to foreign assisted projects.

7689
07:20:18,540 --> 07:20:30,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Pero nakapagtataka na as of August this year, 120.1 billion na ang nailabas.

7690
07:20:30,540 --> 07:20:38,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: So nagtataka po tayo, lagpas ito ng 22.8 billion sa budget na nilaan ng kongresong ito.

7691
07:20:38,540 --> 07:20:44,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Again, 97 billion is in the GAA ang nailabas na thus far.

7692
07:20:44,540 --> 07:20:47,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: August, 120.1 billion.

7693
07:20:47,540 --> 07:20:55,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Anong authority po ang ginagamit para mapayaga nito at saan iyon po nakasaad sa ating GAA?

7694
07:21:15,540 --> 07:21:16,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker,

7695
07:21:16,540 --> 07:21:17,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Distinguished Colleague,

7696
07:21:17,540 --> 07:21:26,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, looking at the report from DBM with regard to the status of fiscal year 2026 on program appropriations,

7697
07:21:44,540 --> 07:21:46,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

7698
07:21:46,540 --> 07:21:51,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, looking at the line items pertained to by our distinguished colleague,

7699
07:21:51,540 --> 07:22:02,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, we agree po on the point of the Honorable Cendaña that yung sa support to foreign assisted projects po,

7700
07:22:02,540 --> 07:22:05,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: tumaas po doon sa nakaprogram na 97.

7701
07:22:05,540 --> 07:22:08,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: As of September po kasi itong tinitingnan ko.

7702
07:22:08,540 --> 07:22:13,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Mula po sa 97.3 billion, pataas po sa 129 billion.

7703
07:22:13,540 --> 07:22:14,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Taba po iyon.

7704
07:22:14,540 --> 07:22:15,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Taba po iyon.

7705
07:22:15,540 --> 07:22:25,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The reason why nagkaroon po ng mas mataas na amount doon po sa releases is that within the unprogrammed appropriations,

7706
07:22:25,540 --> 07:22:32,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: there's a special provision which allows for modification of purposes within unprogrammed appropriations.

7707
07:22:32,540 --> 07:22:43,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, this is pursuant to special provision number 8 in the fiscal year 2026 unprogrammed appropriations section of the General Appropriations Act.

7708
07:22:43,540 --> 07:22:45,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Saan po nang galing yun?

7709
07:22:45,540 --> 07:22:46,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yung additional amount.

7710
07:22:46,540 --> 07:22:51,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The additional amount po was pulled from the revised AFP modernization program,

7711
07:22:51,540 --> 07:22:59,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: which is another allowed use or authorized use of unprogrammed appropriations in the 2026 nga.

7712
07:22:59,540 --> 07:23:00,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ayan po.

7713
07:23:00,540 --> 07:23:08,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Kaya po lagi nating sinasabi yung ating discomfort talaga at yung pagtutol dito po sa lump sum na ito ng unprogrammed appropriations

7714
07:23:08,540 --> 07:23:12,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: kasi nga po very discretionary na ito on the part of the executive.

7715
07:23:12,540 --> 07:23:17,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Here, case in point, nakita natin mas malaki yung kanilang ginugol para sa isang item,

7716
07:23:17,540 --> 07:23:21,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: lagpas pa doon sa mismong inaprobahan natin dito sa Kongreso.

7717
07:23:21,540 --> 07:23:23,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Let me move on po to another issue.

7718
07:23:23,540 --> 07:23:33,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Sinabi po ng Korte Suprema noong December 2025, nalabag sa Saligang Batas ang paglipat ng pondo ng PhilHealth para pondohan ang UA.

7719
07:23:33,540 --> 07:23:41,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Sinabi pa ni SE Associate Justice Ramon Hernando na ang unprogrammed appropriations mismo ay lumilikha ng unregulated space where discretion,

7720
07:23:41,540 --> 07:23:43,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: replaces discipline.

7721
07:23:43,540 --> 07:23:52,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ngayon pong 2027, mahigit 57 billion o kalahati ng UA ay para sa panunumbalik ng funds sa PTIC.

7722
07:23:52,540 --> 07:24:00,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ang tanong po natin kung tunay pong obligasyon ito ng national government, bakit po nakalagay ito sa standby fund tulad ng UA

7723
07:24:00,540 --> 07:24:05,540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: at hindi sa appropriations ng mismong ahensya na may tiyak na allotment?

7724
07:24:23,520 --> 07:24:25,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague

7725
07:24:26,620 --> 07:24:33,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sa kasalukuyan po kasi, wala pa pong Supreme Court ruling patungkol po dito.

7726
07:24:33,160 --> 07:24:39,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kaya po ang ginawa po ng ehekutibo nung dine-develop po nila yung

7727
07:24:39,280 --> 07:24:40,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: NEP,

7728
07:24:40,080 --> 07:24:41,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ay nag-abang po ng

7729
07:24:41,240 --> 07:24:55,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 57 billion doon po sa unprogrammed appropriations just in case the government would have to comply with a ruling, a court ruling pertaining to the PDIC po.

7730
07:24:56,140 --> 07:25:01,900
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: So wala pa pong balak ibalik talaga yung kinuha mula sa PDIC, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague?

7731
07:25:01,900 --> 07:25:26,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, upon conferring po with the DBM, as long as there is a court decision and second, the trigger for releases of unprogrammed appropriations is satisfied, which is there would be excess revenues po, definitely po magkukumplay po ang ating national government.

7732
07:25:27,680 --> 07:25:31,880
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Sige po, medyo nababahala din po tayo sa sagot na ito ng DBM.

7733
07:25:31,900 --> 07:25:34,900
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Pagdating po sa pera na dapat po binalik natin sa PDIC.

7734
07:25:35,760 --> 07:25:44,100
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: But let me end with this, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, the people are demanding a closer look into the lump sum items under the GAA.

7735
07:25:44,640 --> 07:25:51,220
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Mandato ng Kongreso na magtakda ng malinaw na budget sa pamamagitan ng line-item program sa ating pong GAA.

7736
07:25:51,400 --> 07:26:01,720
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Dagdag pa rito, hindi natin dapat tinotolerate na may UA na nagbibigay ng malawak na kapangyarihan sa Executive o sa DBM na mag-release ng pondo na labas sa programmed budget.

7737
07:26:01,900 --> 07:26:14,600
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: In light with this, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, we ask the DBM for the complete record of every release from the UA from 2022 to the present.

7738
07:26:15,120 --> 07:26:27,020
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Not just a summary, but every release, including the date, the amount, the receiving agency, and the specific program it paid for, together with the UACS code for that item.

7739
07:26:27,020 --> 07:26:29,680
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: We further ask that this becomes the standard.

7740
07:26:29,960 --> 07:26:31,020
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: This becomes the standard for...

7741
07:26:31,900 --> 07:26:32,860
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ...form of reporting.

7742
07:26:33,420 --> 07:26:37,700
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: If we cannot see where each peso went, no one can be held accountable for it.

7743
07:26:38,020 --> 07:26:42,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Yun lamang po, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague. Marami pong salamat, Madam Sponsor.

7744
07:26:43,160 --> 07:26:43,960
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Majority Leader.

7745
07:26:45,220 --> 07:26:46,800
Rep. Ramon Rodrigo "Rodge" L. Gutierrez: Madam Speaker, next to interpellate...

7746
07:26:46,800 --> 07:26:50,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, if I may quickly respond po, my apologies.

7747
07:26:50,700 --> 07:26:53,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: With regard to the request po of our Distinguished Colleague...

7748
07:26:57,400 --> 07:27:01,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes po, DBM assures that they will provide po.

7749
07:27:01,900 --> 07:27:06,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The data from 2022 to 2020...

7750
07:27:06,760 --> 07:27:07,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kaya na ba 2020?

7751
07:27:09,460 --> 07:27:12,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Up to half year 2020?

7752
07:27:13,420 --> 07:27:15,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Up to the latest information po.

7753
07:27:15,980 --> 07:27:20,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Whichever latest data that they have, they have committed to submit po.

7754
07:27:20,620 --> 07:27:29,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But it's also noteworthy po that the current level of unprogrammed appropriations as stated in the 2027 NEP is the lowest.

7755
07:27:29,860 --> 07:27:31,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: In terms of the...

7756
07:27:31,900 --> 07:27:35,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ...UA total expenditure program ratio.

7757
07:27:35,700 --> 07:27:47,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So ngayong taon po, in fairness naman po, nung una ko nakita yung NEP, then yun yung naging reaction ko na ito po yung pinakamababang unprogrammed appropriations level sa mahabang panahon.

7758
07:27:47,340 --> 07:28:01,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Dahil po, yun din po yung sinusundang panuntunan ng DBM na basta po kaya siya, programmable siya, identifiable po siya, dinalagay po nila sa programmed appropriations instead of unprogrammed.

7759
07:28:01,900 --> 07:28:08,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker, and thank you very much po to the Honorable Perci Cendaña.

7760
07:28:08,440 --> 07:28:11,320
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Maraming salamat, Madam Chair, at maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker.

7761
07:28:11,840 --> 07:28:12,480
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Majority Leader.

7762
07:28:13,140 --> 07:28:19,660
Rep. Ramon Rodrigo "Rodge" L. Gutierrez: Madam Speaker, next to interpellate the sponsor, I move to recognize the Honorable Iris Marie de Mesa Montes of Partylist 4K.

7763
07:28:20,240 --> 07:28:25,040
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Representative Iris Marie de Mesa Montes of 4K Partylist is hereby recognized for her interpellation.

7764
07:28:25,460 --> 07:28:30,240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor, sa DBM po, magandang gabi.

7765
07:28:30,240 --> 07:28:46,980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Nung nakaraang taon po sa plenaryo, sa plenary budget deliberation, ay binigyang diin na rin ng kinatawang ito ang patuloy na underfunding ng pondo para sa PhilHealth mula sa earmarks na tinakda ng RA 11223 or UHC Act.

7766
07:28:47,440 --> 07:28:54,380
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Noon pa man, inusisya na natin kung bakit hindi na ibibigay ang tamang pondo na itinakda ng batas.

7767
07:28:54,380 --> 07:28:59,020
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Nung nakaraang linggo, muli po natin itong itinanong sa DBM.

7768
07:29:00,240 --> 07:29:20,220
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Hindi masyadong naging ganap na malinaw ang kasagutan, kaya ngayong araw po, pagpaumanhin nyo, kailangan ko pong ulitin uli in the hopes na mabibigyan po ako ng mas malinaw na kasagutan at higit sa lahat, isang kongkretong commitment mula po sa DBM.

7769
07:29:21,960 --> 07:29:30,160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Tinanong ko po kasi ang DBM kung magkano sa palagay at sa computation nila ang total na collectibles ng PhilHealth.

7770
07:29:30,240 --> 07:29:45,000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Since hindi po ako nabigyan, itatanong ko po muli ngayon, meron po akong figure na galing sa PhilHealth. Meron po bang figure ang DBM ng kakulangan nila sa PhilHealth?

7771
07:30:18,860 --> 07:30:20,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

7772
07:30:20,460 --> 07:30:22,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the DBM commits po, they do have

7773
07:30:22,540 --> 07:30:24,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the figure, and they will

7774
07:30:24,180 --> 07:30:26,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: give the same po to our

7775
07:30:26,400 --> 07:30:27,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Distinguished Colleague.

7776
07:30:28,240 --> 07:30:29,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Up to what level?

7777
07:30:35,960 --> 07:30:36,500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Every year.

7778
07:30:36,680 --> 07:30:39,000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Madam Speaker, Distinguished

7779
07:30:39,000 --> 07:30:40,540
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Sponsor, ganito na lang po.

7780
07:30:41,200 --> 07:30:43,120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Unang-una, I really find

7781
07:30:43,120 --> 07:30:45,060
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: it a little bit disappointing for the

7782
07:30:45,060 --> 07:30:46,540
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: DBM to not have the

7783
07:30:46,540 --> 07:30:49,040
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: data right now, when in fact, I already

7784
07:30:49,040 --> 07:30:50,920
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: asked that last time. They should

7785
07:30:50,920 --> 07:30:52,860
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: have prepared the data today.

7786
07:30:54,200 --> 07:30:55,120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So anyway,

7787
07:30:55,500 --> 07:30:56,840
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: meron po akong figure

7788
07:30:56,840 --> 07:30:58,240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: galing po sa PhilHealth.

7789
07:30:58,660 --> 07:30:59,980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Baka po pwedeng i-confirm.

7790
07:31:00,000 --> 07:31:01,100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: I-confirm na lamang po ng

7791
07:31:01,100 --> 07:31:03,880
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: DBM ito. Ito po ang listahan

7792
07:31:03,880 --> 07:31:05,800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ng kakulangan ng

7793
07:31:05,800 --> 07:31:07,360
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: PhilHealth sa DBM,

7794
07:31:07,360 --> 07:31:09,240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ng DBM sa PhilHealth.

7795
07:31:10,020 --> 07:31:11,720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Yung kakulangan po sa

7796
07:31:11,720 --> 07:31:13,620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: sin tax, PAGCOR,

7797
07:31:14,040 --> 07:31:15,760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: and PCSO based on

7798
07:31:15,760 --> 07:31:17,960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: collection, ay total po

7799
07:31:17,960 --> 07:31:20,060
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: is 199 billion.

7800
07:31:20,880 --> 07:31:22,000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: 133 billion

7801
07:31:22,540 --> 07:31:24,160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: sa sin tax earmarks

7802
07:31:24,160 --> 07:31:25,500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: po yan. Yung

7803
07:31:25,500 --> 07:31:27,800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: 62.22 sa

7804
07:31:27,800 --> 07:31:29,340
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: PAGCOR and PCSO.

7805
07:31:30,000 --> 07:31:31,560
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Bukod dyan sa 199

7806
07:31:31,560 --> 07:31:33,280
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: billion na yan,

7807
07:31:33,740 --> 07:31:35,140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: meron pong variance na

7808
07:31:35,140 --> 07:31:37,920
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: 112 billion. Yan naman

7809
07:31:37,920 --> 07:31:39,940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: po ang difference ng GAA

7810
07:31:39,940 --> 07:31:42,100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: versus actual release.

7811
07:31:42,580 --> 07:31:44,120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So ang total na kakulangan

7812
07:31:44,120 --> 07:31:46,160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: po ng DBM

7813
07:31:46,160 --> 07:31:47,880
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: sa PhilHealth ay pumapatak

7814
07:31:47,880 --> 07:31:50,000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: po na 311.4

7815
07:31:50,940 --> 07:31:51,820
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: billion.

7816
07:31:52,740 --> 07:31:54,080
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So malapit po ba

7817
07:31:54,080 --> 07:31:56,100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ang figure ng DBM dyan?

7818
07:31:56,720 --> 07:31:58,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.

7819
07:31:58,120 --> 07:31:59,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Our apologies po. The Director,

7820
07:32:00,000 --> 07:32:02,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in charge of the data, stepped

7821
07:32:02,120 --> 07:32:04,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: out, but she's back po. So we

7822
07:32:04,040 --> 07:32:05,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: can provide the

7823
07:32:05,540 --> 07:32:07,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: data right now po.

7824
07:32:08,160 --> 07:32:10,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Madam Speaker.

7825
07:32:10,320 --> 07:32:12,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: In the interest of time po,

7826
07:32:12,260 --> 07:32:13,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if we may request po for a quick

7827
07:32:13,960 --> 07:32:15,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: suspension, Madam Speaker, so I can

7828
07:32:15,940 --> 07:32:17,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: furnish a copy to our distinguished

7829
07:32:17,920 --> 07:32:19,030
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: colleague po.

7830
07:32:19,030 --> 07:32:19,820
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Session is suspended.

7831
07:35:41,360 --> 07:35:48,350
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Session is resumed.

7832
07:35:48,350 --> 07:35:49,400
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Please continue.

7833
07:35:49,400 --> 07:35:59,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, based on the data furnished by DBM, so the total recognized variance for PhilHealth.

7834
07:36:00,000 --> 07:36:08,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For DOH, it's 143.878 billion pesos.

7835
07:36:09,220 --> 07:36:16,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But this is excluding the PAGCOR and PCSO contributions.

7836
07:36:17,260 --> 07:36:21,620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues.

7837
07:36:22,100 --> 07:36:25,500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Siguro po, maaari po ba ako mag-request ng pag-uusap,

7838
07:36:25,500 --> 07:36:28,420
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na mag-reconcile, siguro,

7839
07:36:28,540 --> 07:36:29,980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kasi it's been going on for so long,

7840
07:36:30,000 --> 07:36:32,440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kanina po, tinanong ko sa DOF,

7841
07:36:32,760 --> 07:36:35,960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: meron po silang binigay sa akin na official communication

7842
07:36:35,960 --> 07:36:37,840
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: about the total collections,

7843
07:36:37,980 --> 07:36:41,800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: but it is not disaggregated to specifically point out

7844
07:36:41,800 --> 07:36:46,460
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: how much is for the UHC.

7845
07:36:46,820 --> 07:36:51,100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: But since the UHC law is very clear on the earmarking,

7846
07:36:51,180 --> 07:36:54,480
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: my office tried to compute kung exactly how much

7847
07:36:54,480 --> 07:36:56,440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: based on the figure of the DOF.

7848
07:36:56,440 --> 07:36:59,920
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And my figures are actually near to,

7849
07:37:00,000 --> 07:37:02,000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: the figures of the PhilHealth.

7850
07:37:02,660 --> 07:37:07,780
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, medyo, doon lang po ako parang nadidisappoint,

7851
07:37:07,920 --> 07:37:09,880
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor,

7852
07:37:10,240 --> 07:37:12,660
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kasi tinuturo po ng DOF,

7853
07:37:12,760 --> 07:37:14,620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ang DBM na should have known

7854
07:37:14,620 --> 07:37:18,460
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung magkano ang dapat na ibinibigay sa PhilHealth.

7855
07:37:18,700 --> 07:37:21,580
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: That it's not their duty na mag-compute

7856
07:37:21,580 --> 07:37:24,300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: because what they do is just to collect everything.

7857
07:37:24,300 --> 07:37:28,520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: It's the DBM's duty and job to,

7858
07:37:28,680 --> 07:37:29,500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: um,

7859
07:37:29,500 --> 07:37:32,780
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: disaggregate kung how much will go to PhilHealth.

7860
07:37:33,560 --> 07:37:37,040
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, baka diyan po ang unang problema natin

7861
07:37:37,040 --> 07:37:39,900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung bakit patuloy ang underfunding ng PhilHealth

7862
07:37:39,900 --> 07:37:42,660
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kasi mismo po ang DBM hindi alam

7863
07:37:42,660 --> 07:37:45,760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung magkano ang ibibigay para sa PhilHealth.

7864
07:37:46,160 --> 07:37:49,120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, um, I guess it's about time that the DBM,

7865
07:37:49,300 --> 07:37:51,720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: the DOH, and PhilHealth sit down together

7866
07:37:51,720 --> 07:37:53,960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: pag-usapan po talaga ito.

7867
07:37:54,240 --> 07:37:59,160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Malinaw po kasi ang lingwahe ng batas na UHC.

7868
07:37:59,500 --> 07:38:01,500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: May earmarking po yan.

7869
07:38:01,660 --> 07:38:02,560
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And additionally,

7870
07:38:03,360 --> 07:38:04,300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Madam Chair,

7871
07:38:04,440 --> 07:38:05,940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Madam Speaker,

7872
07:38:06,420 --> 07:38:08,400
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Distinguished Sponsor,

7873
07:38:08,840 --> 07:38:09,800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: last year,

7874
07:38:11,060 --> 07:38:14,900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: naglabas po ang desisyon ng Korte Suprema

7875
07:38:14,900 --> 07:38:18,240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: tungkol sa pagbababalik ng 60 billion.

7876
07:38:18,540 --> 07:38:19,620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kaya nga po binalik.

7877
07:38:19,980 --> 07:38:21,740
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And part of the decision,

7878
07:38:22,200 --> 07:38:23,800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: malinaw na naman po

7879
07:38:23,800 --> 07:38:26,480
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na sinasabi ng Korte Suprema

7880
07:38:26,480 --> 07:38:29,220
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: the allocation of PhilHealth funds

7881
07:38:29,220 --> 07:38:29,480
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: at the allocation of PhilHealth funds

7882
07:38:29,500 --> 07:38:31,320
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: under the UHC,

7883
07:38:31,760 --> 07:38:33,540
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kino-quote ko pa to sa desisyon,

7884
07:38:33,660 --> 07:38:36,460
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: are fixed by the sin tax laws

7885
07:38:36,460 --> 07:38:39,140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: and merely passed through the GAA.

7886
07:38:39,740 --> 07:38:40,760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: In the same vein,

7887
07:38:40,940 --> 07:38:43,280
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: the earmarking of the sin tax measures

7888
07:38:43,280 --> 07:38:50,940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: under RA 93-4, 10-351, 11-346, 11-467

7889
07:38:50,940 --> 07:38:54,340
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: constitutes an automatic appropriation

7890
07:38:54,340 --> 07:38:56,580
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: in favor of PhilHealth.

7891
07:38:57,080 --> 07:38:58,980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Meron pa isang portion po doon.

7892
07:38:58,980 --> 07:39:01,680
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: The earmarking provisions of sin taxes

7893
07:39:01,680 --> 07:39:05,900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: leave no room for any form of discretion

7894
07:39:05,900 --> 07:39:10,060
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: as to the disposition of the specific allocations

7895
07:39:10,060 --> 07:39:12,540
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: for very specific purposes.

7896
07:39:13,100 --> 07:39:15,720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: The earmarked excise taxes, therefore,

7897
07:39:16,260 --> 07:39:18,780
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: cannot be changed or transferred

7898
07:39:18,780 --> 07:39:21,800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: by any government agency

7899
07:39:21,800 --> 07:39:24,220
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: for any other purpose.

7900
07:39:24,580 --> 07:39:27,440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: I do not know kung malabo pa po ba ito.

7901
07:39:27,440 --> 07:39:28,960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Ang linaw-linaw po.

7902
07:39:28,960 --> 07:39:31,240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ng lingwahin ng batas,

7903
07:39:31,580 --> 07:39:33,400
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: hindi ko po maintindihan

7904
07:39:33,400 --> 07:39:36,960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung bakit na naman dito sa proposed 2027 budget

7905
07:39:37,720 --> 07:39:40,420
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: hindi na naman natin maibibigay

7906
07:39:40,420 --> 07:39:42,980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ang tamang share ng PhilHealth

7907
07:39:42,980 --> 07:39:44,960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: mula sa koleksyon ng sin taxes

7908
07:39:45,760 --> 07:39:47,900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ng PagCore at PCSO.

7909
07:39:48,300 --> 07:39:49,160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Yun lamang po,

7910
07:39:49,840 --> 07:39:51,300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: gusto ko lamang po,

7911
07:39:52,020 --> 07:39:53,660
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Madam Speaker,

7912
07:39:54,060 --> 07:39:55,120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Distinguished Sponsor,

7913
07:39:55,200 --> 07:39:56,300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na maliwanagan

7914
07:39:56,300 --> 07:39:58,200
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kasi hindi ko na po alam

7915
07:39:58,200 --> 07:39:58,940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung ano po ang

7916
07:39:58,960 --> 07:40:01,220
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: pwedeng dahilan na maibigay

7917
07:40:01,220 --> 07:40:03,880
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung bakit hindi po ito mabigyan

7918
07:40:03,880 --> 07:40:05,420
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ng tamang pagpupondo.

7919
07:40:05,920 --> 07:40:06,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker,

7920
07:40:06,840 --> 07:40:07,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Distinguished Colleague,

7921
07:40:07,780 --> 07:40:09,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I agree with you completely po.

7922
07:40:09,780 --> 07:40:11,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: This is something that we've discussed

7923
07:40:11,660 --> 07:40:12,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at length also

7924
07:40:12,700 --> 07:40:14,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with the Honorable Montes

7925
07:40:14,580 --> 07:40:15,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: since last year

7926
07:40:15,460 --> 07:40:16,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: during the interpellations

7927
07:40:16,740 --> 07:40:17,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and I agree po.

7928
07:40:18,100 --> 07:40:19,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: What I'm happy with

7929
07:40:19,960 --> 07:40:22,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is that Secretary Kim De Leon

7930
07:40:22,720 --> 07:40:24,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: gives his assurance

7931
07:40:24,080 --> 07:40:25,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that he would be very happy

7932
07:40:25,840 --> 07:40:27,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to have that discussion

7933
07:40:27,440 --> 07:40:28,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: among the people

7934
07:40:28,620 --> 07:40:30,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of PhilHealth,

7935
07:40:31,280 --> 07:40:33,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the Honorable Montes,

7936
07:40:33,580 --> 07:40:34,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with BTR,

7937
07:40:35,020 --> 07:40:35,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and with DBM

7938
07:40:35,820 --> 07:40:38,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to reconcile all of the figures po.

7939
07:40:38,480 --> 07:40:39,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ang nangyayari po kasi,

7940
07:40:40,240 --> 07:40:42,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: which I agree with,

7941
07:40:42,120 --> 07:40:43,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with Sec Kim,

7942
07:40:43,520 --> 07:40:44,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: there's a delay po kasi.

7943
07:40:44,940 --> 07:40:46,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's a time lag

7944
07:40:46,000 --> 07:40:48,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from the time that the BTR,

7945
07:40:48,700 --> 07:40:49,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: there's a delay

7946
07:40:49,340 --> 07:40:52,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the certification released by the BTR.

7947
07:40:52,640 --> 07:40:53,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, it's not,

7948
07:40:54,000 --> 07:40:55,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it doesn't just happen with PhilHealth,

7949
07:40:55,660 --> 07:40:56,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: halimbawa po,

7950
07:40:56,420 --> 07:40:58,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: even with RCEF.

7951
07:40:58,620 --> 07:40:59,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That's also one of my

7952
07:40:59,880 --> 07:41:01,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: biggest frustrations po

7953
07:41:01,900 --> 07:41:03,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that there's a delay

7954
07:41:03,100 --> 07:41:04,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the release of these

7955
07:41:04,480 --> 07:41:06,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: earmarked funds

7956
07:41:06,120 --> 07:41:07,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to the SAG-Fs

7957
07:41:07,820 --> 07:41:09,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because of the delay

7958
07:41:09,140 --> 07:41:10,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the certification of BTR.

7959
07:41:10,700 --> 07:41:12,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, we'll reconcile po.

7960
07:41:15,080 --> 07:41:15,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sec Kim po

7961
07:41:15,960 --> 07:41:16,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: would be very happy

7962
07:41:16,780 --> 07:41:18,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to engage in that conversation.

7963
07:41:18,740 --> 07:41:19,700
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, distinguished

7964
07:41:19,700 --> 07:41:22,600
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: sponsor, Madam Speaker.

7965
07:41:24,380 --> 07:41:25,480
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Distinguished sponsor,

7966
07:41:25,480 --> 07:41:27,160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kasi po yung ginagamit natin

7967
07:41:27,160 --> 07:41:28,600
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: earmarking for PhilHealth,

7968
07:41:28,620 --> 07:41:30,520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: halimbawa for 2027,

7969
07:41:31,020 --> 07:41:33,460
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: 2025 pong collections yun.

7970
07:41:34,400 --> 07:41:35,900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, I don't think there is

7971
07:41:35,900 --> 07:41:36,620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: a reason

7972
07:41:37,180 --> 07:41:39,340
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung bakit po madi-delay yun.

7973
07:41:40,760 --> 07:41:41,580
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Anyway po,

7974
07:41:41,860 --> 07:41:43,620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: distinguished sponsor,

7975
07:41:44,680 --> 07:41:45,540

07:41:46,960 --> 07:41:48,400
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ang pagkakautang natin.

7978
07:41:48,540 --> 07:41:49,600
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kung susumahin natin,

7979
07:41:49,680 --> 07:41:51,100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung paniniwalaan po natin

7980
07:41:51,100 --> 07:41:52,200
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: at naniniwala ako

7981
07:41:52,200 --> 07:41:53,660
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: sa figura ng PhilHealth,

7982
07:41:53,740 --> 07:41:56,680
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: it's about 312 billion pesos.

7983
07:41:56,680 --> 07:41:58,300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Isang napakalaking halaga.

7984
07:41:58,620 --> 07:42:00,500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Nasaan ay nagagamit na natin

7985
07:42:00,500 --> 07:42:01,860
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: upang mas lumawak

7986
07:42:01,860 --> 07:42:03,220
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ang mga binipisyo

7987
07:42:03,220 --> 07:42:04,180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ng mga miyembro.

7988
07:42:04,600 --> 07:42:05,680
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Sa mahabang panahon,

7989
07:42:05,820 --> 07:42:07,140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: patuloy na nagbabayad

7990
07:42:07,140 --> 07:42:08,820

8080
07:44:20,380 --> 07:44:22,160
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: This concern is about

8081
07:44:22,160 --> 07:44:23,740

8082
07:44:23,740 --> 07:44:25,300
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: under the Local Government

8083
07:44:25,300 --> 07:44:26,160
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Support Fund

8084
07:44:26,160 --> 07:44:26,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: which,

8085
07:44:26,760 --> 07:44:27,780

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: in the DILG site,

8088
07:44:30,840 --> 07:44:31,420
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: is designed

8089
07:44:31,420 --> 07:44:32,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: to address issues

8090
07:44:32,900 --> 07:44:34,200
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: on marginalization

8091
07:44:34,200 --> 07:44:35,500
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: and equal development,

8092
07:44:35,820 --> 07:44:36,980

8093
07:44:36,980 --> 07:44:37,780

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: on Full Devolution.

8098
07:44:45,020 --> 07:44:45,380
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Now,

8099
07:44:45,540 --> 07:44:47,480
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: from the year 2022,

8100
07:44:48,220 --> 07:44:50,640
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: this particular item

8101
07:44:50,640 --> 07:44:52,060
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: received thus far

8102
07:44:52,060 --> 07:44:53,340
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: for 2022,

8103
07:44:53,340 --> 07:44:55,240
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: 1.25 billion

8104
07:44:55,240 --> 07:44:56,680
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: for 2023,

8105
07:44:56,920 --> 07:44:57,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: 1 billion.

8106
07:44:57,780 --> 07:44:58,840
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: No allocation

8107
07:44:58,840 --> 07:44:59,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: for 2024.

8108
07:45:00,000 --> 07:45:08,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: 700 million for 2025, for 2026, 11.3 billion, and for 2027, 10.3 billion.

8109
07:45:09,240 --> 07:45:19,620
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: May we know from the distinguished sponsor how many beneficiaries from the LGU have received funds from this GEF?

8110
07:45:48,190 --> 07:45:56,740
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Or kahit yung total number na lang po ng LGU beneficiaries at hihingin na lang po natin yung breakdown kada taon.

8111
07:45:56,740 --> 07:46:00,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, Madam Speaker, my distinguished colleague.

8112
07:46:00,600 --> 07:46:31,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, ang meron lang po kami ngayon is as far back as 2023. That one po I can say right now, but DBM po will get the data for 2022. For 2023 po, sorry, nabulag ako. For 2022 po pala meron. It is a total of, hindi lang naka-total, 150, 270, 430 LGUs po for the year 2022. For the year 2023, 170 LGUs.

8113
07:46:31,400 --> 07:46:48,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For 2025, wala po sa 2024. Sa 2025 po, a total of 244. And for 2026 po, 875.

8114
07:46:48,140 --> 07:47:00,090
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: 875. Tama po ba? Dahil ito ay lump sum, hindi yan nakalista sa GAA for the years provided by the distinguished sponsor.

8115
07:47:08,160 --> 07:47:31,930
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague. Opo. For the 2026 GAA, there is no annex wherein the list of beneficiaries is listed out, pero meron lang pong criteria na dapat po yung Growth Equity Fund ay para po sa fourth and fifth class municipalities.

8116
07:47:32,880 --> 07:47:55,730
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Madam Speaker, yung kawalan ng listahan dito sa GEF hindi lang po sa 2026, tama po ba? Simula po magsimula itong fund na ito, lahat nung mga proyekto ay post-GAA na po, post-enactment na na isasama o na-identify at nabibigyan ng pondo.

8117
07:48:01,360 --> 07:48:44,990
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague. Yes po, kasi po meron pong, in theory po, every time we pass the GAA, there is already a qualified list of municipalities, cities and provinces po that qualify for the Growth Equity Fund, which is the master list essentially of all the LGUs that are considered as fourth and fifth class municipalities. But as to the amounts po, halimbawa kung magkano yung matatanggap ng bawat isa sa mga LGUs, tama po yun, wala po yun sa level ng GAA. That is determined po after the GAA is already passed.

8118
07:48:45,660 --> 07:48:59,960
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Madam Speaker, bakit po sa kabila ng pagkakaroon na ng master list, halimbawa nung target po natin na matulungan ng mga LGUs na mga fourth at fifth class municipalities, may listahan na ito. At hindi po ba nakadepende din ang tulong na ibibigay

8119
07:48:59,980 --> 07:49:27,260
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ng Growth Equity Fund sa devolution transition plan ng ating mga municipalities? Ibig sabihin meron na pong agarang batayan ang ating mga ahensya kung paano tiyak na maa-identify ang mga LGU, kung magkano at anong proyekto ang ilalagak sa ating GAA, pero bakit hindi po ba ito ginagawa? Madam Speaker, distinguished sponsor. Sorry.

8120
07:49:40,270 --> 07:49:45,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, upon conferring with DBM,

8121
07:49:46,140 --> 07:49:53,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sa level po ng NEP, kapag sinumite po nila sa atin ng ehekutibo yung NEP,

8122
07:49:53,440 --> 07:49:56,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: meron na po siyang kaakibat na listahan.

8123
07:49:56,240 --> 07:50:00,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Meron sa kanila, hindi po ina-attach doon sa mismong NEP,

8124
07:50:00,440 --> 07:50:07,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pero meron po silang listahan na siyang basihan po noong pong amount na kanila pong tinatalaga

8125
07:50:07,140 --> 07:50:09,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po sa growth equity fund sa NEP.

8126
07:50:09,820 --> 07:50:13,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: However, that's actually not an attachment to the NEP,

8127
07:50:13,900 --> 07:50:22,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but it is possible, it is technically possible to have such a list attached to the NEP and later on the GAA.

8128
07:50:22,300 --> 07:50:25,620
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Madam Speaker,

8129
07:50:25,620 --> 07:50:28,860
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: May nasa 10 bilyon na pondo para dito para sa susunod na taon.

8130
07:50:29,000 --> 07:50:38,840
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ibig sabihin, tulad ng nasabing nyo, meron ng handang listahan na may mga proyekto at amount ng pondo para sa mga LGUs na ito.

8131
07:50:38,940 --> 07:50:39,500
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Tama po ba?

8132
07:50:55,620 --> 07:51:11,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ...

8133
07:51:11,080 --> 07:51:13,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

8134
07:51:14,120 --> 07:51:22,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pinapakita po sa akin ng DBM ngayon na meron na pong sa bawat klase ng local government unit

8135
07:51:22,700 --> 07:51:25,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na pupapasok po.

8136
07:51:25,620 --> 07:51:32,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Doon sa klasifikasyon ng 4th and 5th class municipality, meron na pong determined level ng allocation.

8137
07:51:33,080 --> 07:51:35,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Halimbawa po, magbibigay lang po ako ng example,

8138
07:51:37,340 --> 07:51:45,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: isa lang po yung probinsya sa buong bansa sa labas ng BARM na considered po na 4th and 5th class or 5th class which is Batanes.

8139
07:51:45,880 --> 07:51:50,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Meron na pong identified amount dito na 51.5 million pesos.

8140
07:51:51,140 --> 07:51:55,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sa cities po, halimbawa may siyam na fourth and fifth class cities.

8141
07:51:55,620 --> 07:52:01,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Meron po silang total allocation of 463.5 million.

8142
07:52:01,440 --> 07:52:07,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So meron pong designated amount per LGU.

8143
07:52:07,680 --> 07:52:15,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Pero as for the projects that will be funded under the growth equity fund,

8144
07:52:15,680 --> 07:52:19,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it still depends po on what the LGUs will request.

8145
07:52:19,220 --> 07:52:23,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But there are guidelines that govern.

8146
07:52:23,660 --> 07:52:25,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The types of projects.

8147
07:52:25,620 --> 07:52:26,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That can be released to them.

8148
07:52:27,040 --> 07:52:32,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Meron pong menu noong mga items na pwede po nilang i-request sa ilalim po ng growth equity fund.

8149
07:52:33,240 --> 07:52:35,040
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat Madam Speaker.

8150
07:52:35,600 --> 07:52:40,180
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Meron na daw clear identification noong mga LGUs na makakatanggap.

8151
07:52:40,340 --> 07:52:50,780
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngunit ang sinasabi kaya nananatiling lump sum ay hindi pa identified kung ano yung kailangan ng barangay o municipality na mag-request.

8152
07:52:51,100 --> 07:52:54,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At sinabi rin ang ating distinguished sponsor na meron namang guidelines.

8153
07:52:54,540 --> 07:52:55,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngunit nababalik.

8154
07:52:55,620 --> 07:53:03,040
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nabahala po tayo dahil laging ang guidelines na nilalabas ay pagkatapos na ng enactment ng GAA.

8155
07:53:03,040 --> 07:53:09,040
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Yan po ay nangyari ng 2022, 2023, 2025, 2026.

8156
07:53:09,860 --> 07:53:24,340
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At maski po ngayong 2027, nakalagay po dito na ang release po ng funds ay magiging subject pa sa guidelines na i-issue po ng DBM in coordination sa DILG, DOF, DEPDev,

8157
07:53:24,340 --> 07:53:26,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: at iba pang mga relevant agencies.

8158
07:53:27,960 --> 07:53:38,580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi po ba kapag ganito ang sistema Madam Speaker, mas lumalawak po yung espasyo ng maari itong prone sa misuse, abuse,

8159
07:53:38,940 --> 07:53:47,900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: kung lump sum na nga, discretionary pabatay dun sa ilalabas na menu na may guidelines na hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin natin nakikita.

8160
07:53:49,100 --> 07:53:53,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, I agree po with the Honorable Elago.

8161
07:53:53,340 --> 07:54:07,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, sa kasalukuyan po kasi yung special provision ngayon, ang nakalagay po, release of funds for the growth equity fund shall be subject to the guidelines to be issued by DBM in coordination with DILG, DOF, DEPDev, and other relevant agencies.

8162
07:54:07,940 --> 07:54:10,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yun lang po yung kasalukuyan na nakalagay sa GAA.

8163
07:54:11,740 --> 07:54:17,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Pero siguro po similar to my response po to the Honorable EG Erice,

8164
07:54:18,300 --> 07:54:21,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If we so wish po.

8165
07:54:23,340 --> 07:54:29,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Bukas naman po yung DBM na pwede po natin i-refine yung special provision further.

8166
07:54:30,380 --> 07:54:37,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Bukas po sila na ilagay na po natin dito kung ano po yung mga panuntunan na gusto po natin na idagdag.

8167
07:54:37,860 --> 07:54:47,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: O yung isa pa pong kanina, yung suhesyon po na talakay po natin kasama po si Honorable Erice,

8168
07:54:47,320 --> 07:54:51,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ay pwedeng kapag na-develop po ng guidelines patungkol dito,

8169
07:54:51,780 --> 07:54:55,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kailangan pong kunin yung approval ng Kongreso.

8170
07:54:55,780 --> 07:55:09,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, again, the DBM is open to any refinements to the special provision for us to, I guess, have more clear say on the part of Congress

8171
07:55:09,480 --> 07:55:13,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kung ano po yung mga panuntunan na kailangan sundan para po sa growth equity fund.

8172
07:55:14,460 --> 07:55:20,540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Madam Speaker, malinaw po, meron namang malinaw na pagbatayan para hindi maging lump sum ang growth equity fund.

8173
07:55:20,540 --> 07:55:20,820
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ayan.

8174
07:55:20,820 --> 07:55:31,020
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya dapat itemized yan, dapat meron nang guidelines bago pa man maipasa itong GAA. Meron na dapat ngayong malinaw na pamantayan kung paano ito gagamitin.

8175
07:55:31,120 --> 07:55:37,240
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At higit sa lahat po, kinakailangan natin mapanagot kung merong may abuso sa paggamit nito.

8176
07:55:37,500 --> 07:55:43,860
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Dahil kung hindi po natin yan gagawin, mananatilin pong isang malinaw na pork fund, ang growth equity fund.

8177
07:55:43,860 --> 07:55:50,700
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kung walang malinaw na pamantayan kung paano ito tiyak na mapupunta sa servisyo na kailangan.

8178
07:55:50,820 --> 07:55:51,160
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ng tao.

8179
07:55:51,520 --> 07:55:54,760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

8180
07:55:55,040 --> 07:56:01,200
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Manghihingi na lang po tayo ng ulat tungkol dun sa responsibility and accountability guidelines ng growth equity fund.

8181
07:56:01,480 --> 07:56:02,220
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat.

8182
07:56:03,060 --> 07:56:06,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, we will comply po. We will share the same to the Honorable Elago.

8183
07:56:07,040 --> 07:56:08,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much po.

8184
07:56:09,140 --> 07:56:09,700
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Majority Leader.

8185
07:56:11,280 --> 07:56:20,160
Rep. Beverley Rose A. Dimacuha: Madam Speaker, next to interpellate the sponsor, I move to recognize Representative Attorney Renee Louise Co of Kabataan Partylist.

8186
07:56:20,820 --> 07:56:24,900
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Representative Renee Louise Co of Kabataan Partylist is hereby recognized for her interpellation.

8187
07:56:26,560 --> 07:56:30,560
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Magandang gabi po, Madam Speaker. Maraming salamat po.

8188
07:56:30,760 --> 07:56:33,180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And magandang gabi rin po to the Distinguished Sponsor.

8189
07:56:34,480 --> 07:56:46,900
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Tatanong din po tayo ang mga natanong na rin po natin sa ibang mga ahensya but we still felt it appropriate to ask for the lump sum funds dahil po classified under LGSF

8190
07:56:47,520 --> 07:56:50,800
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang support to the Barangay Development Program of the NTF-ELCAC.

8191
07:56:50,820 --> 07:57:12,640
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Sa pagbaybay lang po ng kasaysayan ng Barangay Development Program of the NTF-ELCAC, nagsimula po ito ng GAA 2021 at nagpapatuloy nitong 2027 at tinignan po natin yung mga allotments na kada taon nag-iiba.

8192
07:57:13,080 --> 07:57:19,760
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Pansin po natin na yung budget it also varies pero nag-vary din yung numbers ng mga barangay.

8193
07:57:20,820 --> 07:57:28,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ang recipient nito from 822 ng 2021 to ngayong GAA 2027, 1,948.

8194
07:57:28,860 --> 07:57:41,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Wala pong isang taon na pare-pareho yung number ng mga barangays na purportedly cleared and therefore ay maaaring makakuha ng support sa BDP.

8195
07:57:43,140 --> 07:57:48,980
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At iba-iba rin po yung allotments. 2021, 20 million each for the 822 barangays.

8196
07:57:49,740 --> 07:57:50,180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2022,

8197
07:57:50,820 --> 07:57:54,220
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 4 million each for the 1,406 barangays.

8198
07:57:55,000 --> 07:57:55,560
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2023,

8199
07:57:56,320 --> 07:58:00,220
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 6.6 million each for 959 barangays.

8200
07:58:01,160 --> 07:58:01,520
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2024,

8201
07:58:01,900 --> 07:58:05,040
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2.5 million each for 864 barangays.

8202
07:58:05,200 --> 07:58:05,480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2025,

8203
07:58:05,860 --> 07:58:08,960
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2.5 million each for 780 barangays.

8204
07:58:09,580 --> 07:58:10,280
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2026,

8205
07:58:10,500 --> 07:58:12,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 10 million each for 808 barangays.

8206
07:58:13,020 --> 07:58:13,580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And ngayon po,

8207
07:58:13,680 --> 07:58:17,020
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 5 million each for 1,948 barangays.

8208
07:58:17,640 --> 07:58:18,140
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker,

8209
07:58:18,260 --> 07:58:19,100
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Good Sponsor,

8210
07:58:19,740 --> 07:58:20,800
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: hindi pa rin po

8211
07:58:20,800 --> 07:58:29,220
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: nasasagot sa amin yung tanong na what constitutes cleared barangays under the Barangay Development Program.

8212
07:58:29,940 --> 07:58:45,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Meron po sa ating binigay na essentially paraan paano ikaklassify at gagawin po ng DILG at ico-collate ng DBM yung ganitong listahan in a year.

8213
07:58:45,780 --> 07:58:49,600
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: But we'd like to pursue that line of question, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor.

8214
07:58:49,600 --> 07:58:49,720
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Thank you.

8215
07:58:50,800 --> 07:58:59,520
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Natatrack po ba ng DBM sa budget books kung aling mga barangay ang naging beneficiary ng BDP sa mga nagdaang taon?

8216
07:59:00,020 --> 07:59:15,600
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Natatrack po ba niya, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, if one barangay has been cleared for all years, may ilang barangay ba na hindi maki-clear in a particular year, mawawala sa listahan, may bago, etc.?

8217
07:59:15,600 --> 07:59:19,640
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, ano po bang tracking na ginawa ng DBM dito?

8218
07:59:20,800 --> 07:59:32,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, yung determination po patungkol sa ano yung cleared barangay, nagmumula po yan sa NTF-ELCAC.

8219
07:59:33,080 --> 07:59:38,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ang binibigay lang po sa DBM ay yung listahan na po ng mga cleared barangays.

8220
07:59:39,640 --> 07:59:48,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yung patungkol po dun sa beneficiary barangays, every year po, as you mentioned, for example, 2021, 822 barangays.

8221
07:59:48,640 --> 07:59:50,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For 2022, 1,000.

8222
07:59:50,800 --> 07:59:54,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 406 barangays, and so on and so forth po, until 2026.

8223
07:59:57,160 --> 07:59:59,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Isang beses lang po, pwedeng makatanggap.

8224
08:00:00,000 --> 08:00:06,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ng SBDP, yung LGSF SBDP, yung particular cleared barangay.

8225
08:00:06,880 --> 08:00:08,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So they can only receive once po.

8226
08:00:09,220 --> 08:00:14,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Even though they're declared earlier as a cleared barangay or later,

8227
08:00:15,920 --> 08:00:21,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nakadepende po sa kailan po isusumite ng NTF-ELCAC sa DBM

8228
08:00:21,800 --> 08:00:27,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po as a qualified barangay po for LGSF SBDP.

8229
08:00:27,160 --> 08:00:33,720
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, is the sponsor confirming that this is a one-time grant?

8230
08:00:34,320 --> 08:00:40,160
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Meaning kung nabigay na po ito ng isang taon, ay hindi na po ito mabibigay sa mga succeeding years?

8231
08:00:41,040 --> 08:00:42,140
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor.

8232
08:00:42,560 --> 08:00:44,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes po, Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.

8233
08:00:45,020 --> 08:00:47,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: DBM confirms po that this is a one-time grant.

8234
08:00:47,780 --> 08:00:52,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Once you've received it, you can no longer receive it in succeeding years.

8235
08:00:53,060 --> 08:00:57,140
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, hindi po ba unfair sa barangay?

8236
08:00:57,160 --> 08:01:02,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Yung barangays who've declared themselves cleared earlier, 20 million each ang nakuha.

8237
08:01:03,020 --> 08:01:09,080
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Lalo for example, in 2021, kumpara po sa mga ibang taon, for example, 2024, 2025,

8238
08:01:09,660 --> 08:01:12,480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2.5 million pesos lang kada barangay yung nakuha.

8239
08:01:16,700 --> 08:01:20,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, yes, we agree with the point.

8240
08:01:20,480 --> 08:01:23,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The DBM agrees with the point of our Distinguished Colleague.

8241
08:01:24,300 --> 08:01:26,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yung determination po kasi as to how much,

8242
08:01:26,840 --> 08:01:30,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: how much each barangay would receive in a particular year

8243
08:01:30,380 --> 08:01:36,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is dependent on the allocation that LGSF SBDP receives for a particular year.

8244
08:01:36,740 --> 08:01:44,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because for a particular year, the number of beneficiary barangays is predetermined by NTF-ELCAC.

8245
08:01:44,960 --> 08:01:52,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, halimbawa po, nagkataon na ang liit ng alokasyon ng SBDP sa taon na yun,

8246
08:01:52,340 --> 08:01:56,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yun po, I agree po, nagkakataon po na,

8247
08:01:56,840 --> 08:01:58,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: mababa talaga yung natatanggap nila.

8248
08:01:58,240 --> 08:02:04,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May pagkakataon din naman po na konti lang sila na cleared barangays na nag-qualify,

8249
08:02:04,800 --> 08:02:07,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: tas malaki yung alokasyon, so mas malaki po yung natatanggap nila.

8250
08:02:07,740 --> 08:02:12,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, the DBM recognizes po the point of our Distinguished Colleague na

8251
08:02:12,680 --> 08:02:17,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because of the formula and the determination,

8252
08:02:18,680 --> 08:02:22,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nagkakataon nga po talaga that some years are higher than others.

8253
08:02:22,800 --> 08:02:24,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

8254
08:02:24,960 --> 08:02:26,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: since na-mention na one time,

8255
08:02:26,840 --> 08:02:35,220
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: masasabi po ba ng DBM with definitiveness na wala pong isang barangay na duplicate

8256
08:02:35,220 --> 08:02:43,280
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na nakakuha ng multiple times para po sa barangay development program?

8257
08:03:05,810 --> 08:03:07,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

8258
08:03:07,780 --> 08:03:11,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kami po ni Sec Kim dito sa likod, tinatanong po namin yung team,

8259
08:03:11,380 --> 08:03:17,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: are you absolutely sure that there's no barangay that received the SBDP twice?

8260
08:03:18,500 --> 08:03:24,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And they confirm po, as far as they know po, there's no barangay po that has received it twice.

8261
08:03:24,820 --> 08:03:26,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's also data in Compass po,

8262
08:03:26,840 --> 08:03:31,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the DBM website that we can use to verify that information.

8263
08:03:31,660 --> 08:03:38,280
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Does DBM check that po yearly na kung anumang listahang binibigay ng DILG

8264
08:03:38,280 --> 08:03:44,260
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: or ang iba't ibang ahensya ay hindi po nakakuha na noon pa?

8265
08:04:11,340 --> 08:04:12,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

8266
08:04:12,660 --> 08:04:16,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sorry, we're just probing also, making sure that the answer is correct.

8267
08:04:35,010 --> 08:04:36,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker,

8268
08:04:38,560 --> 08:04:44,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the DBM relies greatly on the list,

8269
08:04:44,900 --> 08:04:51,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the recommended barangays that is included in the list submitted by the NTF-ELCAC,

8270
08:04:51,580 --> 08:04:56,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but the DBM agrees that they should do a second check,

8271
08:04:56,840 --> 08:05:00,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: just to make sure that there are no duplicate barangays po.

8272
08:05:02,060 --> 08:05:06,160
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ang separate check na po ba ito, gagawin po ba ngayon,

8273
08:05:06,340 --> 08:05:10,280
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: or pwede po bang magsumite na lang po ang report ng DBM?

8274
08:05:19,000 --> 08:05:23,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Madam Speaker, so they rely on the attestation,

8275
08:05:23,220 --> 08:05:26,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so there's a certification that NTF-ELCAC,

8276
08:05:26,840 --> 08:05:31,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: specifically issues to certify that there are no duplicate barangays,

8277
08:05:31,540 --> 08:05:35,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but the DBM commits po that from here on out, moving forward,

8278
08:05:35,980 --> 08:05:38,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: they will do a second check po for duplicates.

8279
08:05:39,480 --> 08:05:42,800
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, ito rin po yung line of questioning natin,

8280
08:05:42,880 --> 08:05:45,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: I think, noong nagtanong tayo sa general principles,

8281
08:05:46,260 --> 08:05:48,180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: aside from barangay development program,

8282
08:05:48,180 --> 08:05:53,660
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: kahit po yung challenge natin sa DBM for confidential and intelligence funds,

8283
08:05:54,060 --> 08:05:56,180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: paano po ba ine-exercise ng DBM?

8284
08:05:56,840 --> 08:06:03,460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Yung mandato nila na hindi lang sana collator ng mga budget requests

8285
08:06:03,460 --> 08:06:07,680
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and i-compile for a NEP,

8286
08:06:08,240 --> 08:06:12,460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pero ano po bang paraan na ginagawa nila to ensure na

8287
08:06:12,460 --> 08:06:17,560
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: yung mga binubukas ng mga ibat-ibang ahensya at that level pa lang

8288
08:06:17,560 --> 08:06:25,060
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: before po isubmit yung request for the budget at maaprubahan

8289
08:06:25,060 --> 08:06:26,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: at ma-spot maybe ng COA,

8290
08:06:26,820 --> 08:06:30,380
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, two years down the line, kung mayroon pong pagkakamali,

8291
08:06:30,780 --> 08:06:33,540
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: may opportunity ang DBM kung paano po siya,

8292
08:06:33,580 --> 08:06:39,360
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: hindi lang i-double check, pero tignan kung mayroon pong kailangan i-improve or hindi.

8293
08:06:39,760 --> 08:06:41,640
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Nonetheless, Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

8294
08:06:42,900 --> 08:06:48,460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: kung mayroon pong maiprovide yung DBM na kopya ng attestation

8295
08:06:48,460 --> 08:06:52,120
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: para makita po natin kung ano pong mga checks yung ginagawa

8296
08:06:52,120 --> 08:06:55,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng hindi lang ng DBM pero ng NTF-ELCAC and DILG,

8297
08:06:56,820 --> 08:07:04,300
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: para makita kung ano yung mga proseso nila sa paglatag,

8298
08:07:04,400 --> 08:07:06,180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: anong mga baranggay, yung cleared or hindi.

8299
08:07:06,340 --> 08:07:09,080
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Pero dahil Madam Speaker, as I mentioned nga po earlier,

8300
08:07:09,220 --> 08:07:11,740
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: yung isang point na po na, well, one, unfair.

8301
08:07:12,800 --> 08:07:19,240
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: How can we say na each baranggay makukuha nila yung kailangan nila

8302
08:07:19,240 --> 08:07:25,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: o yung dapat na makuha nila kung each year mukhang dependent sa allocation?

8303
08:07:26,820 --> 08:07:27,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Yung makukuha o hindi.

8304
08:07:28,200 --> 08:07:31,580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 20 million for this year, 2.5 million the next.

8305
08:07:32,860 --> 08:07:36,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: What's to say na ito talaga yung parang solusyon na kailangan nila?

8306
08:07:37,400 --> 08:07:41,500
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And dahil, secondly, Madam Speaker, and this is our standing critique of the program,

8307
08:07:42,020 --> 08:07:47,460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: nasa budget naman po ng mga iba't-ibang ahensya na may specific mandate

8308
08:07:47,460 --> 08:07:54,520
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: to provide these services na pwedeng dun po ilagay yung pangailangan

8309
08:07:54,520 --> 08:07:56,640
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng mga local government units natin.

8310
08:07:56,820 --> 08:08:01,460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Rather than through this program na standing pa rin,

8311
08:08:01,800 --> 08:08:05,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: yung pinupoint out natin na quote-unquote conditional development po

8312
08:08:05,820 --> 08:08:10,220
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang inooffer ng barangay development program ng NTF-ELCAC.

8313
08:08:10,220 --> 08:08:18,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And third point, kung this conditional development comes at the cost of the suppression of rights

8314
08:08:18,860 --> 08:08:22,580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and freedoms of the people, dahil ang report sa atin on ground,

8315
08:08:22,780 --> 08:08:26,600
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: paano ba nag-clear yung isang baranggay, tatanong-tanongin,

8316
08:08:26,800 --> 08:08:33,000
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: kung ang student leader sa isang campus ay affiliated ka daw ba sa leftist groups?

8317
08:08:33,400 --> 08:08:36,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Can you sign this memo to say hindi? Etc.

8318
08:08:37,480 --> 08:08:43,740
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Surveillance, harassment, lahat po ito ay begging the question na

8319
08:08:43,740 --> 08:08:46,940
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: is this the best way for development?

8320
08:08:47,680 --> 08:08:52,700
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Or is it, you know, proper funding of the different projects

8321
08:08:52,700 --> 08:08:56,400
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: to the appropriate line items to the different agencies?

8322
08:08:56,800 --> 08:09:01,060
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, hindi po ito ang tunay na pagpapaunlad.

8323
08:09:01,540 --> 08:09:06,320
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Hindi nito natutugunan ang sinasabi ng layunin na wakasan ng armadong tunggalian

8324
08:09:06,320 --> 08:09:08,180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na nangyayari sa bansa natin ngayon.

8325
08:09:08,180 --> 08:09:14,280
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Sa halip na ilagay ang programang malabo ang proseso at pamantayang para magpa-clear

8326
08:09:14,280 --> 08:09:19,200
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: at meron nga pong maaaring mangyari na may tunggalian pa sa mga baranggay

8327
08:09:19,200 --> 08:09:21,080
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: dahil hindi po pantay yung nakukuha nila,

8328
08:09:21,640 --> 08:09:25,420
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: mas mabuti pang ilagay na lang ang pondo sa direktang mga serbisyong panlipunan.

8329
08:09:25,880 --> 08:09:26,780
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: That's all, Madam Speaker.

8330
08:09:26,800 --> 08:09:30,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, we look forward to receiving the report

8331
08:09:30,860 --> 08:09:41,960
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: on how DILG and NTF-ELCAC attests na hindi po duplicates and whatever else methods

8332
08:09:41,960 --> 08:09:46,800
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: to ensure na hindi naman nauulit yung mga baranggay

8333
08:09:46,800 --> 08:09:50,700
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: as per the rules and regulations of this program.

8334
08:09:51,060 --> 08:09:53,920
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: But for now, I have no further questions.

8335
08:09:54,360 --> 08:09:55,840
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Thank you very much to the sponsor

8336
08:09:56,800 --> 08:10:00,480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: for answering our questions and I yield my time to the floor.

8337
08:10:00,920 --> 08:10:01,400
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker.

8338
08:10:01,900 --> 08:10:03,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.

8339
08:10:03,520 --> 08:10:05,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much to the Honorable Renee Co.

8340
08:10:06,160 --> 08:10:06,700
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Majority Leader.

8341
08:10:07,520 --> 08:10:09,800
Rep. Beverley Rose A. Dimacuha: Madam Speaker, next to interpellate the sponsor,

8342
08:10:09,980 --> 08:10:15,120
Rep. Beverley Rose A. Dimacuha: I move to recognize Representative Antonio L. Tinio of ACT Teachers Partylist.

8343
08:10:15,320 --> 08:10:19,800
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Representative Antonio Tinio of ACT Teachers Partylist is hereby recognized for his interpellation.

8344
08:10:20,860 --> 08:10:22,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker.

8345
08:10:23,380 --> 08:10:24,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sa sponsor,

8346
08:10:24,260 --> 08:10:30,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bibilisan na lang po natin ang interpellation.

8347
08:10:31,420 --> 08:10:32,840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Less than 30 minutes na po.

8348
08:10:33,980 --> 08:10:34,280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Di ba?

8349
08:10:35,060 --> 08:10:35,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi po.

8350
08:10:36,240 --> 08:10:42,380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay, unang topic po natin ay yung pa ring Local Government Support Fund

8351
08:10:42,380 --> 08:10:44,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: dahil nasa lump sum funds po tayo.

8352
08:10:45,000 --> 08:10:46,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Meron po tayong presentation.

8353
08:10:47,700 --> 08:10:49,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Again, yan.

8354
08:10:50,100 --> 08:10:50,380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

8355
08:10:50,380 --> 08:10:54,180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, nakikita po natin, again, one decade plus the proposal.

8356
08:10:54,260 --> 08:10:55,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: For 2027.

8357
08:10:56,580 --> 08:11:00,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, hindi ito unang pagkakataon na tumaas ang LGSF.

8358
08:11:00,660 --> 08:11:02,140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, you can see in 2018,

8359
08:11:03,260 --> 08:11:06,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay 51 billion ang inabot nito.

8360
08:11:09,020 --> 08:11:13,020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: As proposed, pero actually, ang appropriated, the orange one,

8361
08:11:14,060 --> 08:11:16,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the highest was in 2021.

8362
08:11:17,160 --> 08:11:19,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sorry, 2017 pala.

8363
08:11:20,280 --> 08:11:20,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2017.

8364
08:11:20,880 --> 08:11:21,180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2017.

8365
08:11:21,300 --> 08:11:22,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Unang budget ni...

8366
08:11:24,260 --> 08:11:26,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pangulong Duterte, nung panahon niya.

8367
08:11:26,860 --> 08:11:29,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ang pinakamataas nun ay 39 billion.

8368
08:11:30,140 --> 08:11:30,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

8369
08:11:30,460 --> 08:11:31,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Actual appropriations.

8370
08:11:33,140 --> 08:11:38,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero talaga, bakit ba naging mainit na topic ang LGF?

8371
08:11:38,680 --> 08:11:45,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil sa pagbukol nito, especially in the 2026 GAA.

8372
08:11:45,700 --> 08:11:46,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung kasalukuyang taon.

8373
08:11:47,680 --> 08:11:47,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

8374
08:11:47,820 --> 08:11:52,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil nakita natin, noong 2025, yung appropriated, yung orange,

8375
08:11:54,260 --> 08:11:58,540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 22.99 billion ang LGSF.

8376
08:11:58,720 --> 08:12:03,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero sa 2026 budget, naging 57.8 billion.

8377
08:12:04,500 --> 08:12:04,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

8378
08:12:05,080 --> 08:12:08,980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, almost times 3 ang inilaki.

8379
08:12:09,860 --> 08:12:10,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

8380
08:12:10,120 --> 08:12:12,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya po, controversial ngayon.

8381
08:12:12,240 --> 08:12:14,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Even at the time, Madam Speaker,

8382
08:12:15,720 --> 08:12:17,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: anong ginawa ito sa BICAM?

8383
08:12:17,720 --> 08:12:18,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: BICAM po nangyari ito.

8384
08:12:19,800 --> 08:12:19,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

8385
08:12:19,940 --> 08:12:22,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sinabi na po ng kinatawang ito,

8386
08:12:22,620 --> 08:12:27,020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: presidential LGU pork yan.

8387
08:12:27,480 --> 08:12:28,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yun ang tinawag natin dyan.

8388
08:12:28,820 --> 08:12:30,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: LGU pork ng presidente.

8389
08:12:31,540 --> 08:12:31,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

8390
08:12:32,120 --> 08:12:36,920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At, mamaya, ipapoint out din natin,

8391
08:12:37,100 --> 08:12:40,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: saan ang galing yung pondo na nilagay dyan.

8392
08:12:40,740 --> 08:12:41,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero yun ang point.

8393
08:12:41,740 --> 08:12:45,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pinapakita lang natin kung bakit mainit na topic ngayon ang LGSF.

8394
08:12:45,940 --> 08:12:46,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Next slide na po.

8395
08:12:50,000 --> 08:12:51,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, pinapakita lang yung mga components

8396
08:12:51,800 --> 08:12:53,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nung LGSF.

8397
08:12:54,700 --> 08:12:55,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Iba-iba nga.

8398
08:12:55,940 --> 08:12:57,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nabanggit kanina, Growth Equity Fund.

8399
08:12:58,540 --> 08:13:00,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kanina lang, tinatanong yung tungkol sa

8400
08:13:00,660 --> 08:13:03,580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Barangay Development Program.

8401
08:13:05,080 --> 08:13:07,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero ang pinakamalaking component yan,

8402
08:13:07,800 --> 08:13:08,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: single biggest component,

8403
08:13:09,120 --> 08:13:11,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: is yung tinatawag na financial assistance

8404
08:13:11,120 --> 08:13:12,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: to local government units.

8405
08:13:13,060 --> 08:13:14,100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At yun yung talagang lumaki.

8406
08:13:14,780 --> 08:13:18,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, it's 37.49 billion.

8407
08:13:19,040 --> 08:13:19,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

8408
08:13:20,240 --> 08:13:21,040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Next slide.

8409
08:13:21,800 --> 08:13:24,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ito lang.

8410
08:13:24,340 --> 08:13:27,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pinapakita lang kung gaano yung naging paglaki

8411
08:13:27,160 --> 08:13:29,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng financial assistance to local government units.

8412
08:13:30,520 --> 08:13:31,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, as I said,

8413
08:13:32,000 --> 08:13:35,980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: bumukol talaga nung,

8414
08:13:36,760 --> 08:13:37,720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: well, lumaki na.

8415
08:13:37,840 --> 08:13:38,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Actually, papalaki na

8416
08:13:38,700 --> 08:13:42,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: during the Marcos Junior Administration.

8417
08:13:43,340 --> 08:13:44,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: As you can see,

8418
08:13:44,940 --> 08:13:46,180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: may pataas na trajectory.

8419
08:13:47,300 --> 08:13:51,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2025, it was already at 18.9 billion.

8420
08:13:51,800 --> 08:13:54,520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: But 2026, talagang

8421
08:13:54,520 --> 08:14:00,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nag-skyrocket to 37.4 billion.

8422
08:14:00,380 --> 08:14:01,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And also note,

8423
08:14:01,960 --> 08:14:04,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na lumalaki yung orange bar.

8424
08:14:04,340 --> 08:14:05,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ibig sabihin nun,

8425
08:14:05,160 --> 08:14:06,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kongreso ang nagdadagdag.

8426
08:14:06,820 --> 08:14:07,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi yan NEP.

8427
08:14:08,240 --> 08:14:10,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, congressional intervention,

8428
08:14:10,760 --> 08:14:12,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: insertion, whatever you may call it.

8429
08:14:14,000 --> 08:14:14,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

8430
08:14:15,540 --> 08:14:15,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Now,

8431
08:14:16,560 --> 08:14:19,080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kanina, pinakita po ng kasamahan natin

8432
08:14:19,080 --> 08:14:21,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung regional allocation.

8433
08:14:21,160 --> 08:14:21,920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Diba?

8434
08:14:22,080 --> 08:14:24,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung regional and then hanggang mga city level.

8435
08:14:24,940 --> 08:14:26,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tapos, hinighlight nga.

8436
08:14:26,920 --> 08:14:27,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bakit ganon?

8437
08:14:27,600 --> 08:14:28,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano ba ang kriteriya?

8438
08:14:28,980 --> 08:14:30,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sino nag-de-decide?

8439
08:14:30,740 --> 08:14:32,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At bakit tila mas malaki

8440
08:14:32,200 --> 08:14:33,920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung mga mas mayamang syudad?

8441
08:14:34,020 --> 08:14:35,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Mas malaki pa ang nakukuha?

8442
08:14:35,700 --> 08:14:37,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Well, ito naman, additional lang.

8443
08:14:38,360 --> 08:14:41,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero ito, mas sa level ng individual projects.

8444
08:14:41,400 --> 08:14:43,140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Para ipakita lang natin sa napunta

8445
08:14:43,140 --> 08:14:47,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung mga, yung financial assistance.

8446
08:14:48,120 --> 08:14:50,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, these are the top five

8447
08:14:50,220 --> 08:14:51,140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: biggest projects.

8448
08:14:51,160 --> 08:14:53,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Biggest single projects.

8449
08:14:54,780 --> 08:14:57,380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Particularly, yung capital outlay projects

8450
08:14:57,380 --> 08:14:59,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na pinunduhan ng financial assistance.

8451
08:15:00,000 --> 08:15:00,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung FALGU.

8452
08:15:01,380 --> 08:15:01,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay?

8453
08:15:02,000 --> 08:15:05,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Noong 2025, single biggest project, 500 million.

8454
08:15:06,380 --> 08:15:10,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Para nga yan sa multi-purpose building sa pamantasan ng lungsod ng Maynila.

8455
08:15:10,640 --> 08:15:11,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 500 million.

8456
08:15:12,600 --> 08:15:18,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Second biggest, yung 450 million na ito nasa balita na talaga.

8457
08:15:18,360 --> 08:15:24,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung para sa retrofitting and rehab ng Robredo Coliseum sa Naga City.

8458
08:15:25,740 --> 08:15:27,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Third, Guimaras Province.

8459
08:15:27,780 --> 08:15:33,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 200 million peso multi-purpose building, phase two.

8460
08:15:34,500 --> 08:15:39,520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Fourth, nakita naman natin dyan, a farm-to-market road, 150 million.

8461
08:15:39,660 --> 08:15:41,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Malaking farm-to-market road ito.

8462
08:15:41,900 --> 08:15:45,100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kasi usually, ang farm-to-market road, 10, 15 million lang.

8463
08:15:45,840 --> 08:15:52,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay, Caloocan City, that's the fifth multi-purpose building para sa PNPBFP.

8464
08:15:53,780 --> 08:15:54,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 135 million.

8465
08:15:54,700 --> 08:15:55,920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: That's 2025.

8466
08:15:56,160 --> 08:15:57,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2026.

8467
08:15:57,780 --> 08:16:04,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Para magka-idea din lang tayo, ang pinakamalaking infra-project, single, Batangas.

8468
08:16:05,100 --> 08:16:06,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Partikular sa Lipa.

8469
08:16:06,840 --> 08:16:11,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Multi-purpose building, phase one, 500 million pesos, single project.

8470
08:16:12,320 --> 08:16:15,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay, tapos San Juan City, may dalawang San Juan City.

8471
08:16:15,000 --> 08:16:22,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: San Juan City, medical or hospital equipment, 356 million pesos.

8472
08:16:22,840 --> 08:16:27,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Quezon City, rehab of a road, 179 million.

8473
08:16:27,780 --> 08:16:37,080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Laguna Province, purchase of 40 units ambulance, 143 million pesos.

8474
08:16:38,080 --> 08:16:38,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Wow!

8475
08:16:39,460 --> 08:16:41,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Napawaw din yung isang kasama natin dito.

8476
08:16:42,480 --> 08:16:45,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil alam ko, lahat ng LGU.

8477
08:16:46,140 --> 08:16:46,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Diba?

8478
08:16:46,960 --> 08:16:47,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yan ang gusto.

8479
08:16:48,300 --> 08:16:51,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And then San Juan City, hospital buildings, 100 million.

8480
08:16:51,500 --> 08:16:55,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, just to give an idea kung ano yung posible at binibigay.

8481
08:16:57,000 --> 08:16:57,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Through

8482
08:16:57,780 --> 08:17:02,180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung LGSF, particularly yung financial assistance.

8483
08:17:02,560 --> 08:17:08,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ang mga tanong nga, siguro kahit nung mga kinatawan dito, buti sila.

8484
08:17:09,000 --> 08:17:09,840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Paano naman yung iba?

8485
08:17:10,160 --> 08:17:10,920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Paano naman kami?

8486
08:17:11,200 --> 08:17:12,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Who decides?

8487
08:17:12,960 --> 08:17:16,080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, yun nga ang tanong.

8488
08:17:16,320 --> 08:17:17,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pwede po bang maipaliwanag?

8489
08:17:18,960 --> 08:17:25,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sino ang nagdi-decide kung sino ang mabibigyan, maaprubahan?

8490
08:17:25,620 --> 08:17:27,760
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At ano yung criteria?

8491
08:17:27,780 --> 08:17:34,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Lalo pa dito sa mga infrastructure projects, parang wala yatang limit ito.

8492
08:17:35,760 --> 08:17:48,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kasi yung financial assistance, typically, for infrastructure, it's 5 million, 10 million, pero tila umaabot hanggang 500 million.

8493
08:17:49,200 --> 08:17:51,980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, anong klaseng guidelines po ang nag-aalaw nito?

8494
08:17:51,980 --> 08:17:57,760
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, could the sponsor enlighten us on how the FALGU works?

8495
08:17:57,780 --> 08:17:58,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Who approves?

8496
08:17:59,720 --> 08:18:00,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At bakit?

8497
08:18:00,860 --> 08:18:01,180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ganon.

8498
08:18:02,500 --> 08:18:26,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, so the DBM, what we state in the GAA is that the DBM will be the one to execute from the point of evaluating to the point of releasing of the LGSF based on the menu po na ating inilalagay doon po sa GAA.

8499
08:18:26,120 --> 08:18:26,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Okay.

8500
08:18:27,780 --> 08:18:33,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, in regard to how they evaluate, they have a scorecard po that they use as a basis.

8501
08:18:34,400 --> 08:18:36,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That is their evaluation criteria.

8502
08:18:36,960 --> 08:18:53,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tulad po ng nabanggit, ilan po sa mga tinitignan nila ay good financial housekeeping, functionality of the local development council, compliance with subay-bayan reporting requirements, financial accomplishment, physical accomplishment, and the like.

8503
08:18:53,920 --> 08:18:57,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nakabase din po sila doon po sa request ng mga LGUs.

8504
08:18:57,780 --> 08:19:01,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yung iba po kasi LGU nag-request, yung iba naman po hindi din.

8505
08:19:01,800 --> 08:19:06,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, limited din po sila by the types of requests na dumadating sa kanila.

8506
08:19:06,780 --> 08:19:27,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, all of the whole process po from the time of setting the criteria and getting the requests po through the portal of DBM, evaluating it and eventually releasing it, lahat po yan nasa loob po ng DBM.

8507
08:19:27,780 --> 08:19:29,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Well, una, emphasize ko lang.

8508
08:19:29,780 --> 08:19:34,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya po namin tinawag to, last year pa, this is presidential pork.

8509
08:19:34,620 --> 08:19:36,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kasi sabi natin, discretionary ultimately.

8510
08:19:37,420 --> 08:19:48,720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Malaking lump sum, tapos ultimately, it's up to the executive, president, to decide kung sino ang magagawaran at magkano.

8511
08:19:49,340 --> 08:19:49,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Parang ganon.

8512
08:19:51,860 --> 08:19:56,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ngayon, ang nililinaw po rito, actually, ang patakaran.

8513
08:19:57,780 --> 08:20:07,880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay DBM ang gumawa ng guidelines, DBM ang nag-evaluate ng mga applications or submissions, at DBM din ang nag-a-approve.

8514
08:20:09,140 --> 08:20:12,040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Including kung magkano yung ibibigay. Tama po ba?

8515
08:20:12,720 --> 08:20:13,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tama po, Madam Speaker.

8516
08:20:14,060 --> 08:20:21,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At tama rin po ba na under the guidelines of DBM, walang limit or cap, particularly doon sa capital outlay projects.

8517
08:20:21,980 --> 08:20:26,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya po nakakakita tayo ng 500 million na isang proyekto lang.

8518
08:20:27,100 --> 08:20:27,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tama po.

8519
08:20:27,780 --> 08:20:29,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, wala pong cap.

8520
08:20:29,300 --> 08:20:33,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Wala rin cap. So, theoretically, pwede. Kahit 1 billion, pwede.

8521
08:20:33,920 --> 08:20:34,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ganun nga.

8522
08:20:35,320 --> 08:20:39,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay, hindi po ba, wala po tayong nakikitang concern doon.

8523
08:20:39,540 --> 08:20:49,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: From the point of view of kahit yung equity, katulad ng sinasabi kanina, napakaraming mga LGU na nangangailangan ng infrastructure.

8524
08:20:49,980 --> 08:20:53,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ano po tingin ng DBM? Guidelines nila yan eh.

8525
08:20:55,100 --> 08:20:57,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.

8526
08:20:57,780 --> 08:21:03,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Upon conferring with the DBM, yes po, we agree with the point of our distinguished colleague.

8527
08:21:03,380 --> 08:21:13,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: A cap is something that they can explore in the evaluation criteria in the guidelines that they will adopt for 2027.

8528
08:21:14,300 --> 08:21:21,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Pwede po yan. Kasi tama naman po yung punto ng ating distinguished colleague na you have a limited fiscal space.

8529
08:21:21,620 --> 08:21:26,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's only a finite amount that's allocated for FALGU.

8530
08:21:26,780 --> 08:21:27,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tapos, biglang.

8531
08:21:27,780 --> 08:21:34,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May malaking-malaki na isang request na makakain yung malaking porsyento noong kabuuan po.

8532
08:21:34,360 --> 08:21:41,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, the DBM agrees po that putting a cap is something that can be explored in the succeeding fiscal years po.

8533
08:21:41,760 --> 08:21:45,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay, well, next point.

8534
08:21:47,040 --> 08:21:54,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang binabanggit po talaga ay ang tumatanggap ng request at nag-a-approve from the LGUs at nag-a-approve DBM daw.

8535
08:21:54,820 --> 08:21:57,020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano po ang papel ng presidente?

8536
08:22:16,860 --> 08:22:25,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, as to the receiving of the requests, evaluation, approval, and eventual release,

8537
08:22:25,520 --> 08:22:28,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: wala pong involvement ang Presidente.

8538
08:22:28,300 --> 08:22:30,280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Walang involvement ang presidente.

8539
08:22:31,440 --> 08:22:43,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Madam Speaker, and to the sponsor, pinag-uusapan po natin ay Local Government Support Fund and under that, the financial assistance to local government units.

8540
08:22:43,460 --> 08:22:43,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Correct.

8541
08:22:44,360 --> 08:22:44,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tama po.

8542
08:22:45,340 --> 08:22:48,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At hindi po ba kasama ito sa lump sum funds?

8543
08:22:48,380 --> 08:22:48,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tama po.

8544
08:22:49,720 --> 08:22:50,520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: These are lump sums.

8545
08:22:51,440 --> 08:22:51,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Correct?

8546
08:22:53,060 --> 08:22:53,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Lump sum appropriations.

8547
08:22:54,540 --> 08:22:54,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Correct?

8548
08:22:54,660 --> 08:22:55,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Madam Speaker.

8549
08:22:55,640 --> 08:22:57,100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: These are lump sum appropriations.

8550
08:22:57,600 --> 08:22:57,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes.

8551
08:22:57,900 --> 08:23:06,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At tama po ba o mali na ang pagbabudgeting, ang batas sa pagbabudgeting, bukod sa General Appropriations Act,

8552
08:23:06,880 --> 08:23:16,040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang umiiral na batas sa pagbabudget ay Executive Order 292, otherwise known as the Administrative Code of the Philippines.

8553
08:23:16,200 --> 08:23:16,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tama po.

8554
08:23:16,600 --> 08:23:16,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ...

8555
08:23:21,540 --> 08:23:27,080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Umiiral ang the provisions

8556
08:23:27,080 --> 08:23:31,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: of the Administrative Code apply to budgeting.

8557
08:23:32,020 --> 08:23:32,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tama po.

8558
08:23:32,800 --> 08:23:33,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tama po.

8559
08:23:33,360 --> 08:23:35,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: EO 292 po ang batay.

8560
08:23:35,960 --> 08:23:36,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yeah.

8561
08:23:36,660 --> 08:23:37,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Including lump sum funds.

8562
08:23:38,140 --> 08:23:38,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Section.

8563
08:23:39,360 --> 08:23:42,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Puntahan po natin ang Book 6, Chapter 5, Section 35.

8564
08:23:43,820 --> 08:23:44,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay?

8565
08:23:44,720 --> 08:23:46,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, dapat nag-a-apply ito.

8566
08:23:46,100 --> 08:23:51,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang sabi po, Section 35, Special Budgets for Lump Sum Appropriations.

8567
08:23:52,140 --> 08:23:53,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ayun na po.

8568
08:23:53,120 --> 08:23:54,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: In-establish natin lump sum to.

8569
08:23:54,480 --> 08:23:57,380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, expenditures from lump sum appropriations.

8570
08:23:57,400 --> 08:24:01,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Authorized for any purpose or for any department.

8571
08:24:01,940 --> 08:24:03,920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Authorized, meaning in-authorized ng Kongreso.

8572
08:24:04,340 --> 08:24:11,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: For any department, office, or agency in any annual General Appropriations Act or other act.

8573
08:24:11,800 --> 08:24:14,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And from any fund of the national government.

8574
08:24:14,760 --> 08:24:21,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Shall be made in accordance with a special budget to be approved by the President.

8575
08:24:23,780 --> 08:24:24,100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

8576
08:24:24,100 --> 08:24:25,100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ayun lang po.

8577
08:24:25,180 --> 08:24:27,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Gusto ko lang po ma-reconcile yung sagot nyo.

8578
08:24:27,120 --> 08:24:36,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Na sabi nyo, walang anumang involvement ng President from pagtanggap hanggang pag-evaluate hanggang pag-approve hanggang pag-release.

8579
08:24:37,800 --> 08:24:47,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero sabi po sa Admin Code, very clearly, expenditures from lump sum appropriations kinakailangan to be approved by the President.

8580
08:24:49,400 --> 08:24:50,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Let me just elaborate.

8581
08:24:50,640 --> 08:24:51,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bakit po ganyan yung batas?

8582
08:24:53,700 --> 08:24:56,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Eh, ang intention po dyan, that's a safeguard.

8583
08:24:57,120 --> 08:25:08,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil nga may lump sum ka, hindi itemized dyan, in-approved ng Kongreso, as a safeguard against abuse, kailangan may pirma ng Presidente.

8584
08:25:08,520 --> 08:25:11,760
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At alam naman natin, pag may pirma ng Presidente, hindi basta-basta yun.

8585
08:25:11,900 --> 08:25:15,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi pipirma ang Presidente sa anumang piece of paper.

8586
08:25:16,400 --> 08:25:19,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Merong vetting, merong validation, verification, etc.

8587
08:25:19,400 --> 08:25:24,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya, importante po yung approval ng Presidente.

8588
08:25:25,960 --> 08:25:27,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano pong paliwanag?

8589
08:25:27,120 --> 08:25:34,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Parang nilalabag ang probisyon ng Admin Code sa inyong kalakaran.

8590
08:25:35,900 --> 08:25:46,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, meron po dito din sa parehong section po, also in Section 35, Chapter 5, Book 6 of EO 292,

8591
08:25:46,820 --> 08:25:55,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung first line po ng last sentence sa first paragraph, which says, unless otherwise provided by law.

8592
08:25:55,020 --> 08:25:56,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: In this case po,

8593
08:25:57,120 --> 08:26:16,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the GAA, through the special provision authorized by Congress, authorizes the DBM to issue the guidelines, criteria, and essentially administer the implementation of the lump sum funds.

8594
08:26:16,040 --> 08:26:26,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Meron din po, relatedly, in Section 47 of EO 292, Section 47, Chapter 5, Book 6 of the same executive order,

8595
08:26:27,120 --> 08:26:35,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it provides that the Department of Budget shall administer the lump sum funds appropriated in the General Appropriations Act,

8596
08:26:35,940 --> 08:26:43,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: except as otherwise specified therein, including the issuance of treasury warrants, covering payments to implementing agencies and other creditors,

8597
08:26:44,040 --> 08:26:45,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as may be authorized by the President.

8598
08:26:45,840 --> 08:26:56,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, may dalawa po na nagsasabi na DBM po, para pong dine-delegate ng Pangulo yung authority sa DBM,

8599
08:26:56,040 --> 08:26:58,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po sa implementation ng lump sum funds.

8600
08:26:59,120 --> 08:27:02,520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Well, let me take the second one you mentioned. May second provision kayo.

8601
08:27:02,620 --> 08:27:08,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: That only provides that the DBM administer the fund.

8602
08:27:09,000 --> 08:27:09,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Diba? Administer.

8603
08:27:10,040 --> 08:27:10,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, sila, tama.

8604
08:27:11,280 --> 08:27:14,180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kayo, tatanggap, pwedeng mag-evaluate and so on.

8605
08:27:14,280 --> 08:27:16,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero iba yung approval.

8606
08:27:17,180 --> 08:27:20,080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: That doesn't talk about approval of the President.

8607
08:27:20,760 --> 08:27:21,740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, that takes it first.

8608
08:27:21,740 --> 08:27:24,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sabi nyo, well, okay, unless otherwise,

8609
08:27:25,160 --> 08:27:25,740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: expressly,

8610
08:27:26,040 --> 08:27:27,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: provided by law.

8611
08:27:27,940 --> 08:27:29,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tignan po natin

8612
08:27:29,060 --> 08:27:33,520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang mga special provisions ng LGUs.

8613
08:27:33,600 --> 08:27:34,100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ayan na po.

8614
08:27:34,400 --> 08:27:34,720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ayan.

8615
08:27:35,080 --> 08:27:38,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Financial assistance to LGUs.

8616
08:27:39,160 --> 08:27:47,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: The allocation of the financial assistance to LGUs shall be based on criteria to be developed by the DBM

8617
08:27:47,240 --> 08:27:55,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: in coordination with other relevant agencies taking into consideration LGUs adherence

8618
08:27:56,040 --> 08:27:59,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: to established governance standards.

8619
08:27:59,060 --> 08:28:08,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Disbursement and utilization by LGUs shall be subject to the pertinent provisions of existing government procurement laws, etc.

8620
08:28:08,920 --> 08:28:09,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: etc.

8621
08:28:10,000 --> 08:28:13,580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Disbursement and utilization, etc.

8622
08:28:14,420 --> 08:28:19,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nowhere does it provide for approval.

8623
08:28:19,320 --> 08:28:22,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, wala po.

8624
08:28:22,720 --> 08:28:23,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Wala po.

8625
08:28:23,200 --> 08:28:24,040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Inaral po natin.

8626
08:28:24,140 --> 08:28:24,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Wala.

8627
08:28:24,680 --> 08:28:25,760
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Walang sinasabi.

8628
08:28:26,040 --> 08:28:35,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Na dinelegate ng Kongreso through express provision yung approval sa inyo sa DBM, I mean.

8629
08:28:36,620 --> 08:28:51,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, I hope the sponsor, I will no longer belabor this point, but I hope the sponsor will take note na baka, alam nyo, yung mga lump sum funds,

8630
08:28:51,400 --> 08:28:55,520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: isa-isang kine-question na sa Supreme Court, di ba?

8631
08:28:55,520 --> 08:28:58,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung unprogrammed appropriations, may pending dyan.

8632
08:29:00,980 --> 08:29:02,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung, ano pa nga ba?

8633
08:29:04,920 --> 08:29:14,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung, eto, ngayon, baka mamaya, etong LGSF, isa ring unprogrammed appropriations, ay masama na rin.

8634
08:29:15,460 --> 08:29:22,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At nakikita ko, merong mukhang merong paglabag sa kasalukuyang kalakaran.

8635
08:29:22,120 --> 08:29:25,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Because, wala akong nakikitang batas.

8636
08:29:25,520 --> 08:29:32,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: That expressly delegates the approval to the DBM.

8637
08:29:40,040 --> 08:29:51,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, on this point po, the DBM assures that currently, wala po, the approval lies with the DBM.

8638
08:29:51,880 --> 08:29:52,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Okay.

8639
08:29:52,500 --> 08:29:55,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But, they submit to the wisdom of Congress.

8640
08:29:55,520 --> 08:30:00,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If we want to expressly state it, in the special provision

8641
08:30:00,000 --> 08:30:01,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for LGSF

8642
08:30:01,280 --> 08:30:03,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for LGSF for example

8643
08:30:03,560 --> 08:30:05,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for 2027

8644
08:30:05,380 --> 08:30:07,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we can expressly state

8645
08:30:07,920 --> 08:30:10,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that the approval is required

8646
08:30:10,080 --> 08:30:12,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: by for example

8647
08:30:12,320 --> 08:30:14,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: by the president or if it

8648
08:30:14,220 --> 08:30:15,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: lies with the DBM

8649
08:30:15,180 --> 08:30:18,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because there are two different kinds

8650
08:30:18,040 --> 08:30:20,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: there are two other kinds of lump sum funds

8651
08:30:20,080 --> 08:30:22,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: wherein that is expressly

8652
08:30:22,340 --> 08:30:23,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: stated. The first

8653
08:30:23,800 --> 08:30:25,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is the contingent funds and the second

8654
08:30:25,620 --> 08:30:28,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: would be the NDRMF

8655
08:30:28,740 --> 08:30:30,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so the DBM submits

8656
08:30:30,120 --> 08:30:32,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if Congress so wishes

8657
08:30:32,340 --> 08:30:33,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that for the GAA

8658
08:30:33,920 --> 08:30:36,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 2027 we can modify the special provision

8659
08:30:36,380 --> 08:30:38,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: okay and also

8660
08:30:38,120 --> 08:30:40,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung dati meron ding express provision

8661
08:30:40,120 --> 08:30:41,840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: on this on authorization

8662
08:30:41,840 --> 08:30:44,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung unprogrammed

8663
08:30:44,360 --> 08:30:46,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: appropriations which is also

8664
08:30:46,120 --> 08:30:48,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: under lump sum funds. Meron ding express provision

8665
08:30:48,420 --> 08:30:50,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: po yun. Specifically

8666
08:30:50,220 --> 08:30:52,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: referring to section 35

8667
08:30:52,440 --> 08:30:54,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: but anyway and also

8668
08:30:54,200 --> 08:30:55,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sabi ng section 35

8669
08:30:55,780 --> 08:30:58,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: unless otherwise expressly provided

8670
08:30:58,480 --> 08:31:00,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: by law. So kailangan talaga

8671
08:31:00,240 --> 08:31:02,200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: merong express provision ng batas.

8672
08:31:02,620 --> 08:31:04,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Anyway noted na po yung sagot

8673
08:31:04,460 --> 08:31:06,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: that may address

8674
08:31:06,440 --> 08:31:07,580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the

8675
08:31:07,580 --> 08:31:10,720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: LGSF for 2027

8676
08:31:10,720 --> 08:31:12,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: fiscal year 2027

8677
08:31:12,320 --> 08:31:14,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: but not for the previous years. Yun lang po

8678
08:31:14,360 --> 08:31:15,920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang pinapoint out natin. Okay.

8679
08:31:17,920 --> 08:31:20,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Next topic. And hopefully

8680
08:31:20,300 --> 08:31:22,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: this is more on a

8681
08:31:22,240 --> 08:31:23,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: lighter note.

8682
08:31:24,740 --> 08:31:25,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. Yung

8683
08:31:25,780 --> 08:31:25,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung

8684
08:31:25,820 --> 08:31:27,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung

8685
08:31:28,480 --> 08:31:30,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: miscellaneous personnel benefits fund.

8686
08:31:30,780 --> 08:31:32,040

8815
08:36:00,180 --> 08:36:01,760
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: billion for performance-based

8816
08:36:01,760 --> 08:36:03,960

8998
08:42:04,240 --> 08:42:06,280
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Madam Speaker, I move to recognize

8999
08:42:06,280 --> 08:42:07,640
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: the Minority Leader,

9000
08:42:07,640 --> 08:42:10,380
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: the Honorable Marcelino C. Libanan

9001
08:42:10,380 --> 08:42:12,180
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: of 4Ps Party List

9002
08:42:12,180 --> 08:42:13,380
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: for his turno

9003
08:42:13,380 --> 08:42:14,120
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: contra.

9004
08:42:14,960 --> 08:42:17,440
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: The Minority Leader is recognized to deliver

9005
08:42:17,440 --> 08:42:19,260
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: his speech in contra.

9006
08:42:21,560 --> 08:42:23,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Thank you, Madam Speaker.

9007
08:42:25,220 --> 08:42:26,360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Madam Speaker,

9008
08:42:27,600 --> 08:42:29,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: distinguished colleagues,

9009
08:42:30,520 --> 08:42:31,260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for roughly

9010
08:42:31,260 --> 08:42:32,620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: two weeks,

9011
08:42:33,460 --> 08:42:35,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: this House deliberated on perhaps

9012
08:42:35,240 --> 08:42:37,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the most important legislation

9013
08:42:37,100 --> 08:42:38,660
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we pass each year,

9014
08:42:39,560 --> 08:42:40,620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the National Budget.

9015
08:42:41,820 --> 08:42:43,220
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The sessions were long.

9016
08:42:43,720 --> 08:42:45,420
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: On several occasions, we worked

9017
08:42:45,420 --> 08:42:47,480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: into the early hours of the morning.

9018
08:42:48,820 --> 08:42:49,560
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The minority

9019
08:42:49,560 --> 08:42:51,540
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: asked difficult questions

9020
08:42:51,540 --> 08:42:53,440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: as we are expected

9021
08:42:53,440 --> 08:42:55,720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to do. But the debate

9022
08:42:55,720 --> 08:42:57,040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: remained productive.

9023
08:42:57,600 --> 08:42:59,680
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Before I proceed, I would like

9024
08:42:59,680 --> 08:43:00,960
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to thank the Speaker,

9025
08:43:01,840 --> 08:43:03,220
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Honorable Faustino

9026
08:43:03,220 --> 08:43:04,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Bojie Dy III,

9027
08:43:05,620 --> 08:43:07,080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the Majority Leader, Honorable

9028
08:43:07,080 --> 08:43:07,960
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Sandro Marcos,

9029
08:43:09,080 --> 08:43:10,680
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the Committee on Appropriations,

9030
08:43:11,160 --> 08:43:12,480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the Budget Sponsors,

9031
08:43:13,220 --> 08:43:15,060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and our colleagues from the Majority

9032
08:43:15,060 --> 08:43:17,380
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for allowing a serious

9033
08:43:17,380 --> 08:43:19,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: examination of this measure.

9034
08:43:20,160 --> 08:43:21,360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We may disagree

9035
08:43:21,360 --> 08:43:22,420
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: on some priorities,

9036
08:43:22,420 --> 08:43:24,320
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: but this is how

9037
08:43:24,320 --> 08:43:25,440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Congress should work.

9038
08:43:26,380 --> 08:43:27,320
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: I also thank

9039
08:43:27,320 --> 08:43:28,920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: my colleagues in the Minority

9040
08:43:28,920 --> 08:43:31,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for the past two weeks.

9041
08:43:32,460 --> 08:43:33,800
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: They stayed on the floor,

9042
08:43:34,380 --> 08:43:35,340
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: studied the Budget,

9043
08:43:35,960 --> 08:43:37,220
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and asked the difficult

9044
08:43:37,220 --> 08:43:39,580
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and probing questions that needed

9045
08:43:39,580 --> 08:43:40,320
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to be asked.

9046
08:43:42,700 --> 08:43:43,720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Our colleagues

9047
08:43:43,720 --> 08:43:44,640
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in the Majority,

9048
08:43:45,620 --> 08:43:47,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we ask for your continued

9049
08:43:47,240 --> 08:43:49,660
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: understanding when those

9050
08:43:49,660 --> 08:43:51,500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: questions are uncomfortable.

9051
08:43:52,760 --> 08:43:53,760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: That is not

9052
08:43:53,760 --> 08:43:55,740
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: obstruction. That is part

9053
08:43:55,740 --> 08:43:56,500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of our duty.

9054
08:43:57,320 --> 08:43:58,920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The Minority is here

9055
08:43:58,920 --> 08:43:59,900
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to fiscalize,

9056
08:44:00,900 --> 08:44:02,920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to scrutinize expenditures,

9057
08:44:04,120 --> 08:44:05,220
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: test assumptions,

9058
08:44:06,680 --> 08:44:07,920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: demand accountability,

9059
08:44:08,920 --> 08:44:10,340
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and point out matters

9060
08:44:10,340 --> 08:44:12,220
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that might otherwise

9061
08:44:12,220 --> 08:44:13,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: escape attention.

9062
08:44:14,960 --> 08:44:16,440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Majority and Minority

9063
08:44:16,440 --> 08:44:18,260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: may disagree on particular

9064
08:44:18,260 --> 08:44:20,060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: items, but

9065
08:44:20,060 --> 08:44:22,660
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ultimately, we share

9066
08:44:22,660 --> 08:44:24,180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the same responsibility

9067
08:44:24,180 --> 08:44:25,980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to make sure

9068
08:44:25,980 --> 08:44:27,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that the people's

9069
08:44:27,160 --> 08:44:29,700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: money is spent properly.

9070
08:44:29,700 --> 08:44:33,000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And this deliberation showed

9071
08:44:33,000 --> 08:44:34,200
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that fiscalization

9072
08:44:34,200 --> 08:44:36,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: can be productive.

9073
08:44:36,980 --> 08:44:38,360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Our questioning did not

9074
08:44:38,360 --> 08:44:39,920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: merely identify concerns.

9075
08:44:40,720 --> 08:44:41,860
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: In several instances,

9076
08:44:43,060 --> 08:44:44,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: it elicited commitments,

9077
08:44:45,500 --> 08:44:47,360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: crafted government policy,

9078
08:44:47,900 --> 08:44:49,560
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and established timelines

9079
08:44:49,560 --> 08:44:50,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: against which Congress

9080
08:44:50,780 --> 08:44:53,280
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: can later hold agencies

9081
08:44:53,280 --> 08:44:54,480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: accountable.

9082
08:44:55,680 --> 08:44:57,140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: There is an old saying,

9083
08:44:57,160 --> 08:44:58,180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Mr. Speaker,

9084
08:44:59,280 --> 08:45:00,000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Show me

9085
08:45:00,000 --> 08:45:00,840
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: your budget,

9086
08:45:01,000 --> 08:45:16,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and I will show you your priorities. The proposed budget is 7.2 trillion pesos. But the 7.2 trillion pesos headline does not tell the whole story.

9087
08:45:16,380 --> 08:45:37,540
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Government expects approximately 5.2 trillion in revenues in 2027. Interest payments alone will reach approximately 1.114 trillion. Principal amortization is about 1.59 trillion.

9088
08:45:39,220 --> 08:45:46,360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Perhaps payments are financing transactions and are, strictly speaking,

9089
08:45:46,380 --> 08:45:55,400
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: not part of the 7.2 trillion expenditure program, but they remain actual obligations of the Treasury.

9090
08:45:56,820 --> 08:46:12,520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Taken together, that service reaches approximately 2.7 trillion, equivalent to almost 52 for every 100 pesos of projected government revenue.

9091
08:46:13,520 --> 08:46:15,080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 52 pesos.

9092
08:46:16,380 --> 08:46:30,140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Then, government must provide for the national tax allotment, salaries, pensions, statutory contributions, and other mandatory expenditures.

9093
08:46:30,780 --> 08:46:43,740
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So while we speak of a 7.2 trillion budget, the amount over which government actually has room to make choices is much smaller.

9094
08:46:44,780 --> 08:46:46,140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The amount of 2.6 trillion.

9095
08:46:46,380 --> 08:46:52,420
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: About 36 percent of the 7.2 trillion budget.

9096
08:46:53,700 --> 08:47:08,080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Kung ganoon, pagkatapos bayaran ang utang at ang mga obligasyon, hindi na maaring pagpaliban, mas maliit ang perang tunay nating mapapagpasyahan.

9097
08:47:09,200 --> 08:47:12,680
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: That is fiscal reality behind this budget.

9098
08:47:12,680 --> 08:47:19,060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: This budget will also operate in a difficult economic environment.

9099
08:47:20,700 --> 08:47:32,120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: GDP grew by only 2.3 percent in the second quarter of 2026, after growth of 2.8 percent in the first quarter.

9100
08:47:32,640 --> 08:47:42,120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Industry contracted by 2.4 percent, while gross capital formation fell by 9.2%.

9101
08:47:42,680 --> 08:47:51,360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: At the same time, inflation remained high at 6.1 percent in August.

9102
08:47:52,740 --> 08:48:02,500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: For the bottom 30 percent of Filipino households, inflation was even higher at 8.2 percent.

9103
08:48:03,300 --> 08:48:11,740
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: These numbers matter because slower growth limits income and employment opportunities.

9104
08:48:12,480 --> 08:48:13,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: While

9105
08:48:13,100 --> 08:48:17,360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Inflation reduces what those incomes can buy.

9106
08:48:18,580 --> 08:48:35,020
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Para sa ordinaryong pamilya, simply lang ang ibig sabihin nito, mas mabagal na paglago ng kita, pero mas mabilis ang pagtaas ng presyo ng mga bilihin at serbisyo.

9107
08:48:35,900 --> 08:48:42,500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: This is why the quality of government spending matters as much as its size.

9108
08:48:42,680 --> 08:49:07,760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The minority recognizes the need for fiscal consolidation. Under the government's medium-term framework, the deficit is expected to decline from approximately 5.4% of GDP in 2026 to 3.5% by 2030.

9109
08:49:07,760 --> 08:49:24,760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But the revenues remain broadly around 15-16% of GDP, while disbursements decline from approximately 21.2% to 19.1%.

9110
08:49:26,080 --> 08:49:31,280
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Much of the adjustments, therefore, comes from expenditure restraint.

9111
08:49:31,280 --> 08:49:36,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: There is nothing wrong with spending discipline.

9112
08:49:36,160 --> 08:49:44,980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Government shall eliminate waste, duplication, and projects that cannot be implemented.

9113
08:49:46,400 --> 08:49:53,260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But restraint should protect essential investments in people and productive capacity.

9114
08:49:54,600 --> 08:49:58,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Education illustrates the pressure on our fiscal space.

9115
08:49:58,780 --> 08:50:05,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The proposed DepEd budget is approximately P976 billion.

9116
08:50:06,160 --> 08:50:13,200
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: While interest payments alone are approximately P1.114 trillion.

9117
08:50:14,260 --> 08:50:22,980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We therefore spend about P138 billion more on interest than on the entire Department of Education.

9118
08:50:25,100 --> 08:50:33,180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Education sector spending is approximately 3.99% of GDP,

9119
08:50:33,180 --> 08:50:35,180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: compared with roughly...

9120
08:50:36,160 --> 08:50:42,720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 4.36% under the fiscal year of 2026 GAA.

9121
08:50:42,720 --> 08:50:48,000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The classroom shortage remains substantial.

9122
08:50:49,280 --> 08:50:51,940
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Social protection deserves attention.

9123
08:50:53,320 --> 08:51:03,760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The 4Ps allocation moves from approximately P113 billion to P99.08 billion.

9124
08:51:04,840 --> 08:51:05,720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: AICS...

9125
08:51:06,160 --> 08:51:12,560
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ...from approximately P63.9 billion to P33.29 billion.

9126
08:51:12,560 --> 08:51:23,260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And the supplementary feeding program for approximately P9.56 billion to P6.36 billion.

9127
08:51:23,260 --> 08:51:30,040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: There may be a valid program and targeting reasons for these adjustments.

9128
08:51:30,320 --> 08:51:33,820
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But with inflation among our poorest households,

9129
08:51:33,820 --> 08:51:37,140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: at 82.2%,

9130
08:51:37,140 --> 08:51:42,280
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: these reductions deserve careful monitoring.

9131
08:51:42,280 --> 08:51:45,620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Kapag limitado ang pera,

9132
08:51:45,700 --> 08:51:50,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: dapat unang protektahan ang mga programang

9133
08:51:50,240 --> 08:51:52,520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: may pinakamalaking epekto

9134
08:51:52,520 --> 08:51:54,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: sa mga pamilyang

9135
08:51:54,300 --> 08:51:57,180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: pinakamaliliit ang kakayahang

9136
08:51:57,180 --> 08:52:00,320
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: harapin ang pagtaas ng presyo.

9137
08:52:00,760 --> 08:52:03,080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Our colleagues in the minority

9138
08:52:03,080 --> 08:52:05,580
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: also placed several important concerns

9139
08:52:05,580 --> 08:52:09,800
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: on record during these deliberations.

9140
08:52:11,140 --> 08:52:13,260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative Chel Diokno

9141
08:52:13,260 --> 08:52:15,740
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of Akbayan Partylist

9142
08:52:15,740 --> 08:52:18,480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: brought us back to

9143
08:52:18,480 --> 08:52:19,700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: perhaps the most important

9144

08:58:10,460 --> 08:58:12,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: investments that

9321
08:58:12,460 --> 08:58:14,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: can keep our people healthier

9322
08:58:14,460 --> 08:58:16,460

9323
08:58:16,460 --> 08:58:18,460

9324
08:58:18,460 --> 08:58:20,460

9353
08:59:16,460 --> 08:59:18,460

9360
08:59:30,460 --> 08:59:32,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to provide affordable

9361
08:59:32,460 --> 08:59:34,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: capital to entrepreneurs.

9362
08:59:34,460 --> 08:59:36,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: His point is simple.

9363
08:59:36,460 --> 08:59:38,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Public funds

9364
08:59:38,460 --> 08:59:40,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: should translate into education,

9365
08:59:40,460 --> 08:59:42,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: accessible healthcare,

9366
08:59:42,460 --> 08:59:44,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and opportunities for

9367
08:59:44,460 --> 08:59:46,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: people to earn

9368
08:59:46,460 --> 08:59:48,460

08:59:48,460 --> 08:59:50,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative

9370
08:59:50,460 --> 08:59:52,460

9371
08:59:52,460 --> 08:59:54,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of Agbayan Partylist

9372
08:59:54,460 --> 08:59:56,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: called attention to the proposed

9373
08:59:56,460 --> 08:59:58,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: zero funding for the EDSA

9374
08:59:58,460 --> 08:59:59,540
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Carousel Service

9375
08:59:59,540 --> 09:00:08,860
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: contracting, and fuel subsidy programs which directly affect commuters and PUV drivers and operators.

9376
09:00:10,260 --> 09:00:17,420
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: He likewise joined the call for the remittance of earmarked revenues intended for universal healthcare

9377
09:00:17,420 --> 09:00:20,520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and adequate funding for field health.

9378
09:00:21,760 --> 09:00:29,000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative J.C. Abalos of 4Ps Partylist raised the implementation concerns

9379
09:00:29,000 --> 09:00:32,700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: regarding the community-based monitoring system.

9380
09:00:32,700 --> 09:00:47,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The proposed CBMS budget is about 5.062 billion, yet 4.92 billion, or 97%, is lodged in the Central Office,

9381
09:00:47,700 --> 09:00:53,500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: while 16 regions and BARMM share only 130 million.

9382
09:00:53,500 --> 09:00:58,500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: More importantly, 59,462 families.

9383
09:00:59,000 --> 09:01:09,500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: In the 4Ps set, 12 waitlists remain unmatched with CBMS data, some since 2023.

9384
09:01:11,260 --> 09:01:20,020
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative Audrey Zubiri of the 3rd District of Bukidnon raised the continued funding shortfall

9385
09:01:20,020 --> 09:01:23,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: under the Sugarcane Industry Development Act.

9386
09:01:23,300 --> 09:01:28,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The law provides for an aggregate of 2 billion annually.

9387
09:01:29,000 --> 09:01:39,120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Yet, approximately 1.020 billion was appropriated in the 2026 GA.

9388
09:01:40,020 --> 09:01:42,640
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Her concern raises a broader principle.

9389
09:01:42,640 --> 09:01:49,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: When Congress creates a program and provides a statutory funding mandate,

9390
09:01:50,780 --> 09:01:55,420
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: annual budgets should give meaningful effect to that commitment.

9391
09:01:56,460 --> 09:01:58,980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative Presley De Jesus,

9392
09:01:59,000 --> 09:02:01,260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of PHILRECA Partylist,

9393
09:02:02,060 --> 09:02:06,740
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: called for stronger support for total missionary electrification,

9394
09:02:07,420 --> 09:02:09,960
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: total and missionary electrification,

9395
09:02:10,900 --> 09:02:13,760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: noting that proposed budgetary support for NEA

9396
09:02:13,760 --> 09:02:22,260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: declines from 10.134 billion in 2026

9397
09:02:22,260 --> 09:02:28,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to 6.486 billion in 2027.

9398
09:02:29,000 --> 09:02:35,760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: While many electric cooperatives still need to expand service

9399
09:02:35,760 --> 09:02:40,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and rehabilitate aging distribution systems.

9400
09:02:41,780 --> 09:02:49,020
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: He likewise raised the adequacy of the 2.001 billion allocation

9401
09:02:49,020 --> 09:02:50,560
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for missionary electrification,

9402
09:02:51,700 --> 09:02:57,060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: particularly as higher fuel costs affect national power corporation,

9403
09:02:57,060 --> 09:02:58,060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Small Power Utilities Group

9404
09:02:59,000 --> 09:03:03,000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: operations in off-grid communities.

9405
09:03:03,000 --> 09:03:09,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: He also emphasized the need to strengthen ERC's regulatory capacity

9406
09:03:09,780 --> 09:03:15,860
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: so that government addresses not only price spikes for temporary interventions,

9407
09:03:15,860 --> 09:03:22,260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: but their underlying causes, supply shortages, inadequate reserves,

9408
09:03:22,900 --> 09:03:26,720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: generation outages, and transmission congestion.

9409
09:03:27,820 --> 09:03:28,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The concern,

9410
09:03:29,000 --> 09:03:34,000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the over-reliability and affordability was reinforced

9411
09:03:34,000 --> 09:03:39,000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: by Representative Sergio Dagooc of APEC Partylist,

9412
09:03:39,000 --> 09:03:45,080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: who focused particularly on the continuing energy problems in the Visayas.

9413
09:03:45,820 --> 09:03:49,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: He emphasized that generation shortages,

9414
09:03:50,220 --> 09:03:53,060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: inadequate reserves and ancillary services,

9415
09:03:53,820 --> 09:03:55,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: transmission congestion,

9416
09:03:56,280 --> 09:03:57,700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and line rental charges

9417
09:03:57,700 --> 09:03:59,000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: must be addressed

9418
09:03:59,000 --> 09:04:01,920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: as one systemic problem.

9419
09:04:02,880 --> 09:04:10,500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: He likewise called for the rehabilitation of the Agus Pulangi hydro power complex

9420
09:04:10,500 --> 09:04:14,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: while retaining government ownership and control,

9421
09:04:14,820 --> 09:04:18,620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and a reassessment of a limited strategic role

9422
09:04:18,620 --> 09:04:24,040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for NPC in emergency reserves and ancillary services,

9423
09:04:24,040 --> 09:04:28,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and consideration of a temporary,

9424
09:04:29,000 --> 09:04:37,880
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: rule-based VAT shock absorber during extraordinary electricity and fuel price increases.

9425
09:04:37,880 --> 09:04:45,560
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: His concern reminds us that energy policy is also economic policy.

9426
09:04:46,560 --> 09:04:56,700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: High power and fuel costs eventually find their way into transportation, food, production, and inflation.

9427
09:04:56,700 --> 09:05:03,080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative Bong Suntay of the 4th District of Quezon City emphasized

9428
09:05:03,080 --> 09:05:07,800
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that major appropriations must produce measurable results.

9429
09:05:08,740 --> 09:05:15,040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: He pointed to the P191.285 billion proposed

9430
09:05:15,040 --> 09:05:20,500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for the Metro Manila Subway and North-South Commuter Railway,

9431
09:05:20,500 --> 09:05:25,820
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: stressing that rail spending must ultimately be measured

9432
09:05:25,820 --> 09:05:28,120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: by working trains and improved mobility.

9433
09:05:29,360 --> 09:05:31,700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: He likewise called for health spending

9434
09:05:31,700 --> 09:05:35,980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to reduce the still substantial out-of-pocket burden

9435
09:05:35,980 --> 09:05:38,420
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: on Filipino families

9436
09:05:38,420 --> 09:05:42,520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and for government to maintain a credible fiscal plan

9437
09:05:42,520 --> 09:05:48,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: should revenues or economic growth fall below assumptions.

9438
09:05:49,540 --> 09:05:53,060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: These concerns differ in subject,

9439
09:05:53,060 --> 09:05:55,060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: but they reflect the same question before us:

9440
09:05:55,820 --> 09:06:05,960
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: With limited resources, where can government spending make the greatest difference?

9441
09:06:05,960 --> 09:06:12,960
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: That question applies equally to our investments in infrastructure.

9442
09:06:12,960 --> 09:06:18,500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Mr. Speaker, even with limited fiscal space,

9443
09:06:18,500 --> 09:06:23,200
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we should protect infrastructure that can expand the economy

9444
09:06:23,200 --> 09:06:25,200
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and improve national connectivity.

9445
09:06:25,820 --> 09:06:32,340
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Our interpellation yesterday on the DPWH budget

9446
09:06:32,340 --> 09:06:38,120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: produced concrete commitments on the Sorsogon-Samar Link Bridge.

9447
09:06:39,080 --> 09:06:43,380
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We were informed that the government's 130 million

9448
09:06:43,380 --> 09:06:48,020
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for the feasibility study will be complemented

9449
09:06:48,020 --> 09:06:51,380
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: by approximately 500 million from ADB,

9450
09:06:51,380 --> 09:06:56,180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: completing the estimated 650 million funding requirement.

9451
09:06:57,320 --> 09:07:00,060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Bidding is expected to begin this November

9452
09:07:00,060 --> 09:07:05,720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: with the study taking about one year.

9453
09:07:07,320 --> 09:07:10,260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Detailed engineering is targeted for 2028

9454
09:07:10,260 --> 09:07:14,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: followed by civil works bidding in 2028 or early 2029.

9455
09:07:15,620 --> 09:07:18,260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: If the project proves feasible

9456
09:07:18,260 --> 09:07:20,760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and the timetable is followed,

9457
09:07:21,160 --> 09:07:24,280
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: completion could be around 2025

9458
09:07:24,280 --> 09:07:26,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: or 2036.

9459
09:07:26,920 --> 09:07:29,020
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: This is significant because

9460
09:07:29,020 --> 09:07:31,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Secretary Vince Dixon cited an estimated

9461
09:07:31,300 --> 09:07:35,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 42% economic rate of return

9462
09:07:35,240 --> 09:07:37,840
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for the project and inform us

9463
09:07:37,840 --> 09:07:39,200
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of a strong interest

9464
09:07:39,200 --> 09:07:43,880
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: from development partners and investors.

9465
09:07:55,360 --> 09:07:59,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: This also should be a challenge to NEDA,

9466
09:07:59,300 --> 09:08:03,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: DEPDev and DEPDev.

9467
09:08:03,300 --> 09:08:08,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ADB and higher development partners appear willing

9468
09:08:08,300 --> 09:08:11,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to support the mega projects

9469
09:08:11,300 --> 09:08:13,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: when the economic case is strong.

9470
09:08:13,300 --> 09:08:18,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Let us identify other major infrastructure projects

9471
09:08:18,300 --> 09:08:21,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: with high economic rates of return,

9472
09:08:21,300 --> 09:08:24,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: subject them to rigorous feasibility studies,

9473
09:08:24,300 --> 09:08:25,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and bring them to the table.

9474
09:08:25,300 --> 09:08:27,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: If the project is a viable project to ADB,

9475
09:08:27,300 --> 09:08:31,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: JICA, Korea, and other development partners,

9476
09:08:31,240 --> 09:08:34,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Kung mataas ang economic return

9477
09:08:34,240 --> 09:08:36,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: at may handang tumulong sa financing,

9478
09:08:36,240 --> 09:08:39,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: hanapin natin ang mga proyektong ito

9479
09:08:39,240 --> 09:08:41,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: at simulan natin.

9480
09:08:41,240 --> 09:08:43,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: May pondo na,

9481
09:08:43,240 --> 09:08:45,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: may timetable pa.

9482
09:08:45,240 --> 09:08:47,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Ang mas mahalaga ngayon

9483
09:08:47,240 --> 09:08:49,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ay matupad ang mga commitment na ito.

9484
09:08:49,240 --> 09:08:51,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The vision, however,

9485
09:08:51,240 --> 09:08:53,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: should extend beyond Sorsogon and Samar.

9486
09:08:53,240 --> 09:08:55,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: For the

9487
09:08:55,160 --> 09:08:58,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for the Southern Leyte-Surigao Link,

9488
09:08:58,160 --> 09:09:01,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 350 million has been identified

9489
09:09:01,160 --> 09:09:03,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for the feasibility study

9490
09:09:03,160 --> 09:09:08,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: with DPWH negotiating with ADB

9491
09:09:08,160 --> 09:09:11,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for additional funding required.

9492
09:09:11,160 --> 09:09:14,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: During the same interpellation,

9493
09:09:14,160 --> 09:09:17,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we also obtained commitments

9494
09:09:17,160 --> 09:09:21,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to pursue funding for three additional inter-island links,

9495
09:09:21,160 --> 09:09:24,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Maasin, Southern Leyte,

9496
09:09:24,160 --> 09:09:26,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to Lapinig Island,

9497
09:09:26,160 --> 09:09:28,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to Ubay, to Bohol,

9498
09:09:28,160 --> 09:09:30,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Getafe, Bohol,

9499
09:09:30,160 --> 09:09:32,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to Cordoba, Cebu,

9500
09:09:32,160 --> 09:09:35,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and Santander, Cebu,

9501
09:09:35,160 --> 09:09:37,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to Sibulan, Negros.

9502
09:09:37,160 --> 09:09:39,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The DPWUH indicated

9503
09:09:39,160 --> 09:09:42,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that these projects could secure

9504
09:09:42,160 --> 09:09:45,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: funding in the next budget

9505
09:09:45,160 --> 09:09:48,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and through development partners or investors

9506
09:09:48,160 --> 09:09:51,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: with the Bohol-Cebu connection already studied

9507
09:09:51,160 --> 09:09:53,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: by the department,

9508
09:09:53,160 --> 09:09:57,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and identified as a priority.

9509
09:09:57,160 --> 09:09:59,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We should also include

9510
09:09:59,160 --> 09:10:05,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the Camarines Sur-Catanduanes Inter-Island Connectivity Project

9511
09:10:05,160 --> 09:10:08,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: or the Friendship Bridge

9512
09:10:08,160 --> 09:10:12,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: being pushed by Representative Leo Rodriguez of Catanduanes,

9513
09:10:12,160 --> 09:10:17,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: envisioned as a long-span bridge connecting Catanduanes

9514
09:10:17,160 --> 09:10:19,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to mainland Bicol.

9515
09:10:19,160 --> 09:10:22,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The project already has around 80 million

9516
09:10:22,160 --> 09:10:25,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in the 2026 GAA for feasibility study.

9517
09:10:25,160 --> 09:10:28,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: It belongs to the same larger vision

9518
09:10:28,160 --> 09:10:31,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: using strategic inter-island links

9519
09:10:31,160 --> 09:10:34,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to connect communities that geography

9520
09:10:34,160 --> 09:10:36,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: has long kept apart.

9521
09:10:37,160 --> 09:10:39,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Taken together,

9522
09:10:39,160 --> 09:10:41,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: these proposed links

9523
09:10:41,160 --> 09:10:43,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: could form part of a more integrated

9524
09:10:43,160 --> 09:10:46,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: inter-island transport network

9525
09:10:46,160 --> 09:10:48,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: across the Philippine archipelago,

9526
09:10:48,160 --> 09:10:51,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: connecting Catanduanes to mainland Bicol,

9527
09:10:52,160 --> 09:10:55,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Luzon to Samar, Samar to Leyte,

9528
09:10:55,160 --> 09:10:57,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Leyte to Mindanao,

9529
09:10:57,160 --> 09:11:00,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: while establishing additional fixed links

9530
09:11:00,160 --> 09:11:02,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: from Leyte to Bohol,

9531
09:11:02,160 --> 09:11:05,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Bohol to Cebu, Cebu to Negros,

9532
09:11:05,160 --> 09:11:08,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and eventually Negros to Panay,

9533
09:11:08,160 --> 09:11:13,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: complementing the Panay-Guimaras-Negros Island Bridges project.

9534
09:11:13,160 --> 09:11:16,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: In a period of slow economic growth,

9535
09:11:16,160 --> 09:11:19,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: these are the kinds of transformative projects

9536
09:11:19,160 --> 09:11:21,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: worth carefully pursuing.

9537
09:11:21,160 --> 09:11:24,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Projects that can shorten travel time,

9538
09:11:24,160 --> 09:11:26,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: lower logistics costs,

9539
09:11:26,160 --> 09:11:28,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: open new markets,

9540
09:11:28,160 --> 09:11:31,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: bring communities closer together,

9541
09:11:31,160 --> 09:11:35,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and ultimately expand the country's productive capacity.

9542
09:11:35,160 --> 09:11:38,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: As this representation has said

9543
09:11:38,160 --> 09:11:40,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: during the interpellation,

9544
09:11:40,160 --> 09:11:45,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we bring our people to their destination faster.

9545
09:11:45,160 --> 09:11:49,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We can bring our patients faster to our hospitals.

9546
09:11:49,160 --> 09:11:50,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We can move

9547
09:11:50,160 --> 09:11:51,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: our goods faster,

9548
09:11:51,160 --> 09:11:56,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and we can bring our families closer together.

9549
09:11:56,160 --> 09:12:00,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But connectivity is not only an economic issue.

9550
09:12:00,160 --> 09:12:03,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: In an archipelagic country,

9551
09:12:03,160 --> 09:12:06,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the same infrastructure that moves people and goods

9552
09:12:06,160 --> 09:12:09,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: also strengthens our ability

9553
09:12:09,160 --> 09:12:11,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to respond to disasters,

9554
09:12:11,160 --> 09:12:13,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: move resources,

9555
09:12:13,160 --> 09:12:15,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and secure our territory.

9556
09:12:15,160 --> 09:12:17,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: This brings us to another concern

9557
09:12:17,160 --> 09:12:19,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: raised during the budget deliberations

9558
09:12:19,160 --> 09:12:24,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the need to strengthen our eastern seaboard.

9559
09:12:24,160 --> 09:12:27,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Our eastern coast is not only an economic corridor,

9560
09:12:27,160 --> 09:12:30,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: it is also a strategic frontier.

9561
09:12:30,160 --> 09:12:32,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: In recent weeks,

9562
09:12:32,160 --> 09:12:35,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the AFP confirmed monitoring foreign vessels

9563
09:12:35,160 --> 09:12:38,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: passing off the coast of eastern Samar.

9564
09:12:38,160 --> 09:12:41,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The AFP assessed that particular passage

9565
09:12:41,160 --> 09:12:45,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: as non-threatening and consistent with navigation

9566
09:12:45,160 --> 09:12:47,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: through a normal shipping route.

9567
09:12:47,160 --> 09:12:50,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We accept that professional assessment,

9568
09:12:50,160 --> 09:12:55,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: but it also reminds us of something basic.

9569
09:12:55,160 --> 09:13:00,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Our defense posture cannot only be westward.

9570
09:13:00,160 --> 09:13:04,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The Philippines is an archipelago.

9571
09:13:04,160 --> 09:13:09,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Our eastern approaches face Pacific

9572
09:13:09,160 --> 09:13:12,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and cover a vast maritime area.

9573
09:13:12,160 --> 09:13:16,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The AFP's comprehensive archipelagic defense concept itself

9574
09:13:16,160 --> 09:13:21,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: recognizes the need to defend our entire maritime domain,

9575
09:13:21,160 --> 09:13:24,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: including our exclusive economic zones

9576
09:13:24,160 --> 09:13:26,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and vital sea lanes.

9577
09:13:26,160 --> 09:13:28,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Consequently,

9578
09:13:28,160 --> 09:13:31,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative Christopher Sheen Gonzales

9579
09:13:31,160 --> 09:13:34,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of the Lone District of Eastern Samar proposes

9580
09:13:34,160 --> 09:13:37,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for the need to strengthen the country's defense posture

9581
09:13:37,160 --> 09:13:39,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: along eastern seaboard.

9582
09:13:39,160 --> 09:13:41,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: As our forces modernizes,

9583
09:13:41,160 --> 09:13:44,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: he called for greater investments

9584
09:13:44,160 --> 09:13:46,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in maritime domain awareness,

9585
09:13:46,160 --> 09:13:49,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: radar and surveillance,

9586
09:13:49,160 --> 09:13:51,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: naval and air capacities,

9587
09:13:51,160 --> 09:13:54,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and strategic facilities

9588
09:13:54,160 --> 09:13:56,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: along our Pacific coast

9589
09:13:56,160 --> 09:13:58,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that will enable our forces

9590
09:13:58,160 --> 09:14:01,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to effectively monitor and respond

9591
09:14:01,160 --> 09:14:03,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: when necessary.

9592
09:14:03,160 --> 09:14:07,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: This is not about identifying any country

9593
09:14:07,160 --> 09:14:09,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: as an enemy.

9594
09:14:09,160 --> 09:14:14,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: It is simply responsible national defense.

9595
09:14:14,160 --> 09:14:16,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Kung pinapalakas

9596
09:14:16,160 --> 09:14:19,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: natin ang depensa sa kaunlaran.

9597
09:14:19,160 --> 09:14:22,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Hindi dapat pabayaan ang silangan.

9598
09:14:22,160 --> 09:14:26,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Ang isang kapuluan ay dapat may kakayahang bantayan

9599
09:14:26,160 --> 09:14:30,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ang kanyang mga hangganan.

9600
09:14:30,160 --> 09:14:32,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The bridges and transport links

9601
09:14:32,160 --> 09:14:35,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we have discussed also have strategic dimension.

9602
09:14:35,160 --> 09:14:41,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Better ports, roads, bridges, and logistics networks

9603
09:14:41,160 --> 09:14:44,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: strengthen not only commerce

9604
09:14:44,160 --> 09:14:50,580
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: but also disaster response, humanitarian assistance, and national resilience.

9605
09:14:51,760 --> 09:14:58,680
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: A connected Eastern Seaboard should therefore be a part of a broader national strategy.

9606
09:15:00,000 --> 09:15:13,520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We must protect it economically, secure it adequately, and ensure that development reaches the regions that have historically remained farthest from the centers of growth.

9607
09:15:14,300 --> 09:15:20,960
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And that brings us to another principle that should guide this budget – regional equity.

9608
09:15:20,960 --> 09:15:35,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Earlier, House Policy Research found that budget shares of Visayas and Mindanao have historically fallen below the shares of the country's poor population.

9609
09:15:36,600 --> 09:15:48,220
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Large appropriations classified as nationwide or central office expenditures also make geographic distribution difficult to determine at enactment.

9610
09:15:48,220 --> 09:15:52,380
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We are not asking for equal amounts for every region.

9611
09:15:53,280 --> 09:16:05,580
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Allocations should reflect population, poverty, infrastructure, infrastructure gaps, disaster exposure, and geographic isolation.

9612
09:16:06,640 --> 09:16:13,080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Hindi dapat maging hadlang sa pag-unlad ang pagiging malayo sa sintro ng bansa.

9613
09:16:13,700 --> 09:16:17,620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We acknowledge one important reform in this budget.

9614
09:16:18,220 --> 09:16:30,680
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Unprogrammed appropriations have been reduced approximately 112 billion or only 1.6% of the expenditure program.

9615
09:16:30,680 --> 09:16:32,180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: That is welcome.

9616
09:16:33,240 --> 09:16:36,820
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But transparency must also extend to program appropriations.

9617
09:16:37,860 --> 09:16:48,180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Congress should know, as far as practicable, the project, location, beneficiary, and purpose of the funds it appropriates.

9618
09:16:48,660 --> 09:16:57,540
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Post-enactment discretion through lump sums, realignments, and release conditions should remain limited and transparent.

9619
09:16:58,640 --> 09:17:09,220
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Kung ang kongreso ang may power of the purse dapat malinaw sa atin kung saan papunta ang pera sa oras na aprobahan natin ang budget.

9620
09:17:10,020 --> 09:17:14,080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And accountability should continue after enactment.

9621
09:17:14,400 --> 09:17:18,080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Indeed, an appropriation is not an

9622
09:17:18,220 --> 09:17:18,540
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: accomplishment.

9623
09:17:19,480 --> 09:17:27,080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: What matters is what kind is what was actually implemented and whether it improved people's lives.

9624
09:17:28,140 --> 09:17:37,480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative Robert Nazal of [unclear] also cautioned against unlawful or manufactured savings.

9625
09:17:38,720 --> 09:17:42,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Unspent funds should not automatically become savings.

9626
09:17:42,780 --> 09:17:46,320
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And projects should not be delayed.

9627
09:17:46,920 --> 09:17:47,980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Merely to create funds

9628
09:17:48,220 --> 09:17:50,880
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for transfer elsewhere.

9629
09:17:51,920 --> 09:18:01,060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Every declaration of savings must have a clear legal basis, proper documentation, and accountability.

9630
09:18:02,360 --> 09:18:16,120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Relatedly, Representative Edgar Erice of the 2nd District of Caloocan raised an important constitutional concern regarding the local government support fund.

9631
09:18:16,120 --> 09:18:18,120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and amount of discretion

9632
09:18:18,220 --> 09:18:23,520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that may remain after Congress approves the budget.

9633
09:18:23,520 --> 09:18:36,360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The Supreme Court has upheld the LGU as a valid appropriation where it has sufficiently defined purpose and adequate standards governing its implementation.

9634
09:18:36,980 --> 09:18:39,680
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But this concern deserves attention.

9635
09:18:39,680 --> 09:18:46,680
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Kung pagkatapos nating aprobahan ng budget, saka pa lamang malalaman kung aling LGU ang makakakuha,

9636
09:18:48,220 --> 09:18:50,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: magkano ang makakatanggap at kung anong proyekto ang pupunduhan,

9637
09:18:51,780 --> 09:18:59,600
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Congress must carefully examine whether it has sufficiently exercised its own power of appropriation.

9638
09:19:00,440 --> 09:19:05,440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The issue is not whether we should assist our LGUs.

9639
09:19:06,000 --> 09:19:06,720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We should.

9640
09:19:06,720 --> 09:19:13,520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The issue is whether the GAA itself provides clear and objective standards

9641
09:19:13,520 --> 09:19:18,200
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: so that the allocation of billions of pesos in local government

9642
09:19:18,220 --> 09:19:24,740
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: support remains consistent with Congress' constitutional power of the purse.

9643
09:19:25,920 --> 09:19:26,720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Madam Speaker,

9644
09:19:27,980 --> 09:19:31,660
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the minority recognizes the good provisions of this measure.

9645
09:19:32,560 --> 09:19:35,640
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We recognize the reduction of the unprogrammed operations.

9646
09:19:36,640 --> 09:19:39,340
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We recognize the need for fiscal discipline.

9647
09:19:39,980 --> 09:19:46,360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We recognize the programs and infrastructure investments that can contribute to growth.

9648
09:19:46,360 --> 09:19:47,620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And we appreciate

9649
09:19:47,620 --> 09:19:56,600
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the majority's willingness to subject this budget to sustained scrutiny, but our reservations remain.

9650
09:19:58,160 --> 09:20:02,700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The fiscal choices before us are therefore difficult.

9651
09:20:03,760 --> 09:20:11,480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Economic growth has slowed, inflation continues to weigh most heavily on poorer households,

9652
09:20:11,480 --> 09:20:21,140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and substantial share of government revenues is already committed to debt service and other mandatory obligations.

9653
09:20:22,080 --> 09:20:30,320
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Against this backdrop, the real measure of 7.2 trillion budget is not its size,

9654
09:20:31,040 --> 09:20:36,760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: but the choices we make with the fiscal space that remains.

9655
09:20:36,760 --> 09:20:40,740
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Whether we spend it efficiently,

9656
09:20:41,480 --> 09:20:43,880
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: direct it where it matters most,

9657
09:20:44,540 --> 09:20:49,760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and invest it in ways that strengthen our capacity to grow.

9658
09:20:50,880 --> 09:20:56,760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: I began by saying, show me your budget, I will show you your priorities.

9659
09:20:57,780 --> 09:21:01,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: After these deliberations, I would add only this.

9660
09:21:02,460 --> 09:21:08,860
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Ipakita natin kung saan napunta ang bawat pesong kaya pa nating pagpasyahan,

9661
09:21:09,640 --> 09:21:11,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: at ipakita natin ang resulta.

9662
09:21:12,380 --> 09:21:17,860
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The final test of this budget will not be found in these pages.

9663
09:21:18,640 --> 09:21:21,260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: It will be found in the lives of our people.

9664
09:21:22,360 --> 09:21:23,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Kung dahil sa budget na ito,

9665
09:21:23,780 --> 09:21:28,700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ay mas maraming Pilipino ang magkakaroon ng disinting trabaho,

9666
09:21:29,300 --> 09:21:34,600
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: mapayapang tahanan, magandang kinabukasan para sa kanilang mga anak,

9667
09:21:35,260 --> 09:21:40,080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: at pagkakataong umasinso sa sariling pagsisikap,

9668
09:21:41,240 --> 09:21:41,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: then,

9669
09:21:41,480 --> 09:21:43,940
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we will have done our duty.

9670
09:21:44,820 --> 09:21:45,440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Sapagkat,

9671
09:21:46,280 --> 09:21:47,760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ang tunay na pagunlad,

9672
09:21:48,580 --> 09:21:49,500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ay kapag

9673
09:21:49,500 --> 09:21:52,640
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ang mga kababayan natin

9674
09:21:52,640 --> 09:21:55,840
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ay nabubuhay ng marangal,

9675
09:21:56,520 --> 09:21:57,880
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: may tiwala sa sarili,

9676
09:21:58,600 --> 09:22:01,480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: at may pagmamalaking sabihin,

9677
09:22:02,200 --> 09:22:02,900
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Pilipino ako.

9678
09:22:03,700 --> 09:22:05,280
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker.

9679
09:22:05,280 --> 09:22:06,280
Committee member: [applause]

9680
09:22:06,280 --> 09:22:06,760
Committee member: [applause]

9681
09:22:08,760 --> 09:22:09,980
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Majority Leader.

9682
09:22:12,360 --> 09:22:13,360
Committee member: [applause]

9683
09:22:22,240 --> 09:22:23,420
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Majority Leader.

9684
09:22:23,980 --> 09:22:24,860
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Madam Speaker,

9685
09:22:24,860 --> 09:22:28,480
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I move to recognize Representative Antonio L. Tinio

9686
09:22:28,800 --> 09:22:30,500
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: of ACT-Teachers Party List

9687
09:22:30,500 --> 09:22:31,700
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: for his manifestation.

9688
09:22:32,080 --> 09:22:35,320
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Representative Antonio Tinio is recognized for his manifestation.

9689
09:22:36,880 --> 09:22:39,140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Maraming Salamat, Madam Speaker.

9690
09:22:40,140 --> 09:22:41,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Madam Speaker,

9691
09:22:41,420 --> 09:22:57,840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Mga kasamahan sa Kongreso, ang pinakamahalagang tanong sa ating sampung araw na debate at interpelasyon sa pambansang budget para sa 2027 ay hindi kung magkano.

9692
09:22:57,840 --> 09:23:07,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi mga numero at statistika, kundi para kanino? Para kanino ang budget na ito?

9693
09:23:07,240 --> 09:23:15,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sino ang pangunahing pinagsisilbihan ng budget? Sino ang pangunahing makikinabang?

9694
09:23:17,040 --> 09:23:28,100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sinasabi ng Malacanang, para sa bayan, this is a people's budget, they say. We say to that, really? Talaga ba?

9695
09:23:28,100 --> 09:23:35,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: The right reply to that is, who are these people you speak of?

9696
09:23:36,300 --> 09:23:37,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang pambansang budget.

9697
09:23:37,240 --> 09:23:40,740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang pambansang budget ay salamin ng pambansang patakaran.

9698
09:23:41,800 --> 09:23:51,820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sabi ng presidente at mga economic managers, hindi na mahirap na bansa ang Pilipinas. Upper middle income country na raw tayo.

9699
09:23:52,600 --> 09:23:59,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero, sabi ng ordinaryong Pilipino, di ko ramdam. Bakit ganon?

9700
09:23:59,060 --> 09:24:06,740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: For decades, the national budget has faithfully supported one set of policies.

9701
09:24:07,240 --> 09:24:15,620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Often called neoliberal or free market policies. Ito po yung privatization, deregulation, and liberalization.

9702
09:24:16,580 --> 09:24:27,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Under these policies, the things a nation needs just to function are now owned by a handful of families and conglomerates.

9703
09:24:27,160 --> 09:24:36,540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Energy. Oil and gas. Electricity. Water. Telecommunications. Our expressways.

9704
09:24:37,240 --> 09:24:48,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Airports. Seaports. Dating nasa kamay ng gobyerno, ngayon, malalaking profit centers pinagkikitaan ng iilan.

9705
09:24:49,740 --> 09:24:55,140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Lumago ang ekonomiya. At sila ang pangunahing nakikinabang.

9706
09:24:55,300 --> 09:25:06,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano ang resulta? Mahal na serbisyo. Mataas na presyo. Mahal na kuryente. Mahal na tubig. Mahal na bigas.

9707
09:25:07,240 --> 09:25:12,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At pambihirang yaman para sa iilang oligarko.

9708
09:25:12,000 --> 09:25:19,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi na lang mga bilyonaryo. Mga trilyonaryo na ang mga pinakamayamang Pilipino.

9709
09:25:20,420 --> 09:25:35,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Razon, Ramon Ang, Pangilinan, Aboitiz. Yan lang ang ilan sa mga pangunahing nakikinabang sa economic policies and environment na sinusustentuhan ng pambansang budget.

9710
09:25:35,900 --> 09:25:41,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Samantala, sino ang pumapasan, pinipiga, at nagbabayad?

9711
09:25:42,780 --> 09:25:48,400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang mga small and medium businesses na gipit dahil sa

9712
09:25:48,400 --> 09:25:50,540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: mataas na kuryente, mataas

9713
09:25:50,540 --> 09:25:51,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na interes sa loans,

9714
09:25:52,440 --> 09:25:54,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kompetisyon mula sa

9715
09:25:54,360 --> 09:25:56,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: murang imported goods due

9716
09:25:56,460 --> 09:25:57,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: to liberalization.

9717
09:25:58,280 --> 09:26:00,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang Filipino middle class

9718
09:26:00,340 --> 09:26:02,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kasama ang mga

9719
09:26:02,220 --> 09:26:04,600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: profesional na mababa ang kita

9720
09:26:04,600 --> 09:26:06,080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: underpaid

9721
09:26:06,080 --> 09:26:08,140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: and overtaxed.

9722
09:26:08,140 --> 09:26:09,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Milyon-milyon sa kanila

9723
09:26:09,440 --> 09:26:12,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang nangibang bansa bilang

9724
09:26:12,060 --> 09:26:14,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: OFW dahil

9725
09:26:14,220 --> 09:26:15,700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: wala silang maasahan

9726
09:26:15,700 --> 09:26:17,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa ating ekonomiya.

9727
09:26:17,340 --> 09:26:19,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At higit sa lahat

9728
09:26:19,340 --> 09:26:21,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang malawak na hanay

9729
09:26:21,460 --> 09:26:22,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng mamamayan.

9730
09:26:23,920 --> 09:26:25,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano ang para sa kanila?

9731
09:26:25,920 --> 09:26:27,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Malaganap na unemployment

9732
09:26:27,480 --> 09:26:29,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at underemployment

9733
09:26:29,160 --> 09:26:31,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: dahil pinananatiling

9734
09:26:32,140 --> 09:26:33,240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: atrasado ang

9735
09:26:33,240 --> 09:26:35,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: agrikultura at walang

9736
09:26:35,260 --> 09:26:36,520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sariling industriya.

9737
09:26:37,820 --> 09:26:39,560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pareho, dahil ito

9738
09:26:39,560 --> 09:26:40,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pinapaboran

9739
09:26:40,680 --> 09:26:42,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang importasyon

9740
09:26:42,900 --> 09:26:45,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa halip na sariling produksyon.

9741
09:26:45,780 --> 09:26:47,140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Service sector

9742
09:26:47,140 --> 09:26:49,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: jobs alone will not lead

9743
09:26:49,120 --> 09:26:50,220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: to genuine growth.

9744
09:26:51,020 --> 09:26:52,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kung walang produksyon,

9745
09:26:53,020 --> 09:26:55,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: walang trabaho, a country that

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Memorandum of Understanding,

9940
09:33:15,180 --> 09:33:16,180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: through expanding

9941
09:33:16,180 --> 09:33:17,800

9942
09:33:17,800 --> 09:33:19,900

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: and the VFA.

9946
09:33:23,140 --> 09:33:25,100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang gera

9947
09:33:25,100 --> 09:33:26,080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng US

9948
09:33:26,080 --> 09:33:27,540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay hindi natin

9949
09:33:27,540 --> 09:33:27,720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: gera.

9950
09:33:27,720 --> 09:33:39,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero ginagawa tayong base, lunsaran at target. Sinusuportahan ito ng kasalukuyang budget proposal.

9951
09:33:39,260 --> 09:33:55,100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pang-apat, kinaltasan ang serbisyo habang pinapalaki ang ayuda. Funding for core education programs for teachers, for hospitals, health workers, social welfare and labor protection are cut.

9952
09:33:55,100 --> 09:34:04,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: while AICS, MAIFIP and TUPAD remain the main channels for help at gusto pang dagdagan.

9953
09:34:04,920 --> 09:34:22,380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pang-lima, pinagdadamutan ang mga kawani ng gobyerno. After 17 years without an increase in personnel economic relief allowance, 2 million government employees are offered a mere 500 pesos a month increase.

9954
09:34:22,880 --> 09:34:24,960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dapat dagdagan ito.

9955
09:34:25,100 --> 09:34:37,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At nasa posisyon ang administrasyon at si Pangulong Marcos para gumuhit sa kasaysayan sa pamamagitan ng significant, substantial increase sa PERA.

9956
09:34:39,460 --> 09:34:51,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Mr. Speaker, hindi lang po tayo nag-offer ng analysis at critique. We come with specific demands.

9957
09:34:51,160 --> 09:34:54,120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Una, no to pork.

9958
09:34:55,100 --> 09:34:58,080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No to ineffective and wasteful flood control.

9959
09:34:58,620 --> 09:35:05,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tanggalin na po yung 107 billion at ang pondong ito pwedeng ilipat sa mga hinihingi nating dagdag.

9960
09:35:06,540 --> 09:35:09,680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Itigil ang LGSF bilang presidential pork.

9961
09:35:10,100 --> 09:35:15,980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Isama na rin ang confidential and intelligence funds na mahigit 10 billion piso.

9962
09:35:16,780 --> 09:35:24,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pangalawa, ibalik ang binawas at taasan ng pondo para sa edukasyon, kalusugan, pabahay at social welfare.

9963
09:35:25,100 --> 09:35:28,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pondo para sa serbisyo, hindi ayuda.

9964
09:35:29,020 --> 09:35:34,300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pondo para sa dagdag na classroom at teacher items sa basic at higher education.

9965
09:35:34,960 --> 09:35:42,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dagdag na hospital beds at health workers para maging regular ang mga job order and contract of service.

9966
09:35:43,280 --> 09:35:52,860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pondohan ang 5.3 billion pesos na free higher education deficiency for 2026 and 2027.

9967
09:35:53,480 --> 09:35:54,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pondohan ang

9968
09:35:54,940 --> 09:36:01,360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: production subsidy na 50,000 para sa magsasaka at 30,000 para sa mangingisda.

9969
09:36:02,300 --> 09:36:06,520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pangatlo, PERA ng mga kawani ng gobyerno dagdagan.

9970
09:36:06,960 --> 09:36:11,640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: After 17 years, hindi po sapat ang 500 peso increase.

9971
09:36:13,680 --> 09:36:21,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Minimum, doblehin po ang appropriations pero kailangan higit pa.

9972
09:36:21,000 --> 09:36:23,000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And there must be regularization.

9973
09:36:23,860 --> 09:36:24,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Para sa mga job order.

9974
09:36:24,900 --> 09:36:27,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At contract of service sa gobyerno.

9975
09:36:27,920 --> 09:36:32,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pangapat, no to Pax Silica and US military presence on our soil.

9976
09:36:32,940 --> 09:36:40,260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: We need an independent industrialization policy that builds our own industries and jobs.

9977
09:36:40,820 --> 09:36:49,160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And an independent defense policy that serves Filipino interests, not foreign strategy.

9978
09:36:50,100 --> 09:36:52,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bilang pangwakas, Madam Speaker,

9979
09:36:52,940 --> 09:36:58,940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: these demands are urgent and they must be met.

9980
09:36:58,940 --> 09:37:06,440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: But even if every one of these demands were granted, they would not change the fundamental character of this budget.

9981
09:37:06,440 --> 09:37:11,420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Debate on the budget is ultimately a debate on national policy.

9982
09:37:11,420 --> 09:37:13,900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: The budget reflects policy.

9983
09:37:13,900 --> 09:37:22,060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: As long as the policy is privatization, deregulation, liberalization, debt-driven patronage,

9984
09:37:22,060 --> 09:37:29,800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: and dependence on a foreign power, the budget will reflect it, no matter how many line items we amend.

9985
09:37:29,800 --> 09:37:37,460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya ang laban ay hindi lamang laban sa loob ng General Appropriations Bill.

9986
09:37:37,540 --> 09:37:41,840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang laban ay para baguhin ang patakaran na pinagsisilbihan nito.

9987
09:37:42,340 --> 09:37:51,480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: It is a fight for a budget that serves the Filipino people, not the oligarchs, not the dynasties, not a foreign power.

9988
09:37:52,060 --> 09:38:02,320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Budget para sa serbisyo, hindi para sa pork, para sa mamamayan, hindi para sa ilan, para sa bayan, hindi para sa dayuhan.

9989
09:38:02,900 --> 09:38:04,380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker.

9996
09:38:32,580 --> 09:38:35,360
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Is there any objection? The Chair hears none. The motion is approved.

9997
09:38:36,220 --> 09:38:36,940

9998

Rep. Ferdinand Alexander A. Marcos: Madam Speaker, there being no business left for the day, after two grueling weeks, I move to adjourn until Tuesday, 3 p.m., the 29th of September.

9999
09:38:49,440 --> 09:38:50,060
Rep. Ferdinand Alexander A. Marcos: I so move.

10000
09:38:50,600 --> 09:38:51,680
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Is there any objection?

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: The Chair hears none. The motion is approved.

10002
