asr-000952
00:53:27.380 --> 00:53:29.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of revenue versus that of the

asr-000953
00:53:29.540 --> 00:53:31.380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: expenditure, I already

asr-000954
00:53:31.380 --> 00:53:33.480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in the one, in the

asr-000955
00:53:33.480 --> 00:53:35.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ratio that I have already identified

00:53:35.740 --> 00:53:37.600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to you, Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, which is

asr-000958
00:53:39.560 --> 00:53:41.620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, we expect, Mr. Speaker,

asr-000959
00:53:41.620 --> 00:53:43.660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we expect the trend downwards

asr-000960
00:53:43.660 --> 00:53:45.500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: based on the medium-term

asr-000961
00:53:45.500 --> 00:53:47.740

asr-000962
00:53:47.740 --> 00:53:53.920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: basically, Mr. Speaker,

asr-000963
00:53:54.080 --> 00:53:55.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the consolidation, the

asr-000964
00:53:55.200 --> 00:53:56.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: revenue

asr-000965
00:53:56.200 --> 00:54:01.340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: based on our

asr-000966
00:54:01.340 --> 00:54:03.460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: projected, Mr. Speaker, because

asr-000967
00:54:03.460 --> 00:54:05.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: magkaiba po talaga yung sa national government

asr-000968
00:54:05.780 --> 00:54:11.640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, I think, Mr. Speaker,

asr-000969
00:54:11.640 --> 00:54:13.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: what we have tried to classify here

asr-000970
00:54:13.560 --> 00:54:15.620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is the national government debt

asr-000971
00:54:15.620 --> 00:54:17.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as versus the debt-to-GDP ratio.

00:54:18.100 --> 00:54:19.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: What I have presented to you earlier,

asr-000973
00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:21.720

asr-000974
00:54:21.720 --> 00:54:23.460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of debt-to-GDP in

asr-000975
00:54:23.460 --> 00:54:25.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 2026 was about 58,

asr-000976
00:54:25.220 --> 00:54:27.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 5.48%, no?

asr-000977
00:54:28.320 --> 00:54:29.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But it also remains

asr-000978
00:54:29.720 --> 00:54:31.960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to be on track under the medium-term

asr-000979
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:33.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: fiscal framework

asr-000980
00:54:33.720 --> 00:54:35.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: because of the

asr-000981
00:54:35.740 --> 00:54:37.640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: thing that the DOF is

asr-000982
00:54:37.640 --> 00:54:39.400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: trying to come up with because we

asr-000983
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:41.400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: also need to have the fiscal

asr-000984
00:54:41.400 --> 00:54:43.620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: consolidation. It needs to be in revenue collection

asr-000985
00:54:43.620 --> 00:54:45.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: versus of the expenditure of our national

asr-000993
00:54:59.320 --> 00:55:00.860

asr-000994
00:55:00.860 --> 00:55:03.180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is that all the data that's coming

asr-001001
00:55:15.600 --> 00:55:17.160

asr-001002
00:55:17.220 --> 00:55:18.780
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: how do we describe it? We could say

asr-001003
00:55:18.780 --> 00:55:21.020
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: that it is sustainable, is it

asr-001004
00:55:21.020 --> 00:55:23.100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: manageable based on all the data

asr-001005
00:55:23.100 --> 00:55:25.140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: and all the strategies that the

asr-001006

asr-001012
00:55:37.420 --> 00:55:39.580

asr-001021
00:55:55.220 --> 00:55:57.440

asr-001027
00:56:09.680 --> 00:56:11.400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, we can prudently say,

asr-001028
00:56:11.480 --> 00:56:13.360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, that it's still manageable because

asr-001038
00:56:31.980 --> 00:56:33.580

asr-001042
00:56:39.520 --> 00:56:41.560

asr-001043
00:56:41.560 --> 00:56:43.580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: manageable, Mr. Speaker, because it's way, way

asr-001044
00:56:43.580 --> 00:56:45.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: below the 70% international

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: from 8.6,

00:59:22.080 --> 00:59:24.260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: meron, bumaba po siya

asr-001124
00:59:24.260 --> 00:59:26.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in this current year, which is around

asr-001125
00:59:26.080 --> 00:59:28.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 5.46 percent,

asr-001126
00:59:28.320 --> 00:59:30.020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, and we are still projecting

asr-001127
00:59:30.020 --> 00:59:31.960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: it to be lower in the coming

asr-001128
00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:32.420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: years.

asr-001129
00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:36.260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ang ano po, ang very

asr-001130
00:59:36.260 --> 00:59:38.460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we need

asr-001131
00:59:38.460 --> 00:59:39.920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: also to emphasize, Mr. Speaker,

asr-001132
00:59:40.060 --> 00:59:41.280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that under this current

asr-001133
00:59:41.280 --> 00:59:44.020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: administration, meron pong strict

asr-001134
00:59:44.020 --> 00:59:46.500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: fiscal discipline, ang ini-enforce

asr-001135
00:59:46.500 --> 00:59:47.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: po ng ating Department of Finance,

asr-001136
00:59:48.040 --> 00:59:50.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: all across agencies, para po

asr-001137
00:59:50.040 --> 00:59:51.400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ma-prioritize yung kanilang

asr-001138
00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:51.760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: multa,

asr-001139
00:59:52.080 --> 00:59:54.340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: yung high multiplier capital investments,

asr-001140
00:59:54.440 --> 00:59:56.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and that would, again, generate

asr-001141
00:59:56.440 --> 00:59:58.320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: longer-term economic returns.

asr-001142
00:59:58.380 --> 00:59:59.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, again, this is

asr-001146
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.

asr-001147
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,

asr-001148
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.

asr-001149
01:00:26.540 --> 01:00:27.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, your honors.

asr-001150
01:00:27.740 --> 01:00:28.740
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

asr-001151
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?

asr-001152
01:00:45.240 --> 01:00:46.840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, your honors.

asr-001153
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.

asr-001154
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%.

asr-001155
01:01:05.100 --> 01:01:07.480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We are projecting it to go lower.

asr-001156
01:01:08.840 --> 01:01:11.280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In next year, it would be 5.1.

asr-001157
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.

asr-001158
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.

asr-001159
01:01:27.640 --> 01:01:30.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: To GDP ratio, Mr. Speaker, your honors.

asr-001160
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,

asr-001161
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.

asr-001162
01:01:58.130 --> 01:01:59.940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po.

asr-001163
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.

asr-001164
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

asr-001165
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.

asr-001166
01:02:23.160 --> 01:02:27.100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Halimbawa po, sir, naibigay nyo na distinguished sponsor yung projection,

asr-001167
01:02:27.100 --> 01:02:28.620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na pababa ng pababa, ano?

asr-001168
01:02:29.000 --> 01:02:32.360
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Paano po kaya kung mangyari uli yung nangyari nung makaraang buwan,

asr-001169
01:02:32.460 --> 01:02:35.520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na may mga external shocks na apektohan tayo?

asr-001170
01:02:35.720 --> 01:02:37.440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Will this be adversely affected?

asr-001171
01:02:37.780 --> 01:02:39.640
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Your projections will be adversely affected?

asr-001172
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.

asr-001173
01:02:50.560 --> 01:02:54.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It also involves other agencies like the DBCC,

asr-001174
01:02:55.220 --> 01:02:56.680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as well as,

asr-001175
01:02:57.100 --> 01:03:00.840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: DEV, DEV, NEDA, BSP.

asr-001176
01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:04.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So it's really an interagency assessment.

asr-001177
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,

asr-001178
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.

asr-001179
01:03:27.100 --> 01:03:29.480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to whatever effects to our economy.

asr-001180
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?

asr-001181
01:03:35.620 --> 01:03:37.660
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Mr. Chair, Mr. Sponsor.

asr-001182
01:03:37.940 --> 01:03:41.120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Ito po, ito, siguradong hindi na ito sa DBCC,

asr-001183
01:03:41.340 --> 01:03:45.420
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kontrolado na po ito ng DOF on revenue mobilization.

asr-001184
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

asr-001185
01:03:55.980 --> 01:03:59.980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: bulk ng mga ina-assume natin ito?

asr-001186
01:04:00.460 --> 01:04:04.740
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: At paano natin titiyakin na hindi mabibigatan ang ordinaryong manggagawa?

asr-001187
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,

asr-001188
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.

asr-001189
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?

asr-001190
01:04:25.980 --> 01:04:26.980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you.

asr-001191
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.

asr-001192
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.

asr-001193
01:04:50.940 --> 01:04:54.340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: There's also the increase in personal income tax exemption

asr-001194
01:04:54.340 --> 01:05:00.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: from 250,000 to 350,000 annually.

asr-001195
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

asr-001196
01:05:10.000 --> 01:05:12.680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: with their annual savings, Mr. Speaker.

asr-001197
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.

asr-001198
01:05:19.980 --> 01:05:24.460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We would also like to update.

asr-001199
01:05:25.980 --> 01:05:30.180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: On the, or the lifting.

asr-001200
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,

asr-001201
01:05:50.360 --> 01:05:53.460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: some of the tax reform packages that we have.

asr-001202
01:05:53.460 --> 01:05:55.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Without going through, what would be?

asr-001203
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.

asr-001204
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.

asr-001205
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,

asr-001206
01:06:10.120 --> 01:06:13.580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: plastics, sweetened beverages, distilled spirits, and vermouth,

asr-001207
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.

asr-001208
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.

asr-001209
01:06:25.180 --> 01:06:26.600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honors.

asr-001210
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?

asr-001211
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,

asr-001212
01:06:42.820 --> 01:06:45.500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: identifying all those items that I've mentioned, Mr. Speaker,

asr-001213
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,

asr-001214
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.

asr-001215
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.

asr-001216
01:07:02.060 --> 01:07:05.180
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor.

asr-001217
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.

asr-001218
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.

asr-001219
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,

asr-001220
01:07:25.900 --> 01:07:34.440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: will not compromise long-term fiscal sustainability and intergenerational security?

asr-001220-split-2
01:07:34.440 --> 01:07:34.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes.

asr-001220-split-3
01:07:34.880 --> 01:07:35.540
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And equity?

asr-001221
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,

asr-001222
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.

asr-001223
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,

asr-001224
01:07:54.320 --> 01:07:55.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: mas malaki po yung mga

asr-001225
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.

asr-001226
01:08:03.120 --> 01:08:04.840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Bibigyan ko lang po kayo ng data.

asr-001227
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.

asr-001228
01:08:13.480 --> 01:08:21.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In the ASEAN countries, Mr. Speaker, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos,

asr-001229
01:08:21.720 --> 01:08:25.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: have projected a much, much bigger debt.

asr-001230
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.

asr-001231
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.

asr-001232
01:08:39.340 --> 01:08:40.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Sa Pilipinas po, way, way below.

asr-001233
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.

asr-001234
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,

asr-001235
01:08:54.740 --> 01:08:55.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: total tax reform packages.

asr-001236
01:08:55.920 --> 01:08:58.400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It would even go lower, no?

asr-001237
01:08:58.620 --> 01:09:02.680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It would even go lower in the coming years, no?

asr-001238
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%.

asr-001239
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

asr-001240
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,

asr-001241
01:09:23.280 --> 01:09:25.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think the number would not lie.

asr-001242
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.

asr-001243
01:09:43.260 --> 01:09:45.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, medyo mababa po yung ating rate doon.

asr-001244
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.

asr-001245
01:09:54.100 --> 01:09:55.800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Hindi po tayo dapat.

asr-001246
01:09:55.900 --> 01:09:57.360
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Mag-alala sa utang natin.

asr-001247
01:09:57.360 --> 01:09:58.140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mrs. Speaker.

asr-001248
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.

asr-001249
01:10:04.060 --> 01:10:06.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, let me reiterate because we're talking about borrowing.

asr-001250
01:10:06.760 --> 01:10:09.240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We're also talking about our gross borrowing.

asr-001251
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

asr-001252
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,

asr-001253
01:10:25.180 --> 01:10:25.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker.

asr-001254
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

asr-001255
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.

asr-001256
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.

asr-001257
01:10:44.200 --> 01:10:45.960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, your honors.

asr-001258
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,

asr-001259
01:10:55.900 --> 01:10:58.580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: debt to GDP, Mrs. Speaker, ay medyo mababa.

asr-001260
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.

asr-001261
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.

asr-001262
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,

asr-001263
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,

asr-001264
01:11:25.900 --> 01:11:26.900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ating data.

asr-001265
01:11:27.440 --> 01:11:30.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: At the same time, mataas po ang ating credit rating.

asr-001266
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.

asr-001267
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.

asr-001268
01:11:40.360 --> 01:11:43.900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, sa inyong kasagutan.

asr-001269
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,

asr-001270
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,

asr-001271
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,

asr-001272
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,

asr-001273
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.

asr-001274
01:12:24.020 --> 01:12:25.380
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kapag po tayo ay,

asr-001275
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.

asr-001276
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.

asr-001277
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.

asr-001278
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.

asr-001279
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?

asr-001280
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,

asr-001281
01:13:35.320 --> 01:13:39.900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and its main task really is to source out,

asr-001282
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.

asr-001283
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.

asr-001284
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,

asr-001285
01:14:07.740 --> 01:14:10.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pero ang tinitingnan ko po ay paano yung nagiging...

asr-001286
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.

asr-001287
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.

asr-001288
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,

asr-001289
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.

asr-001290
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,

asr-001291
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.

asr-001292
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.

asr-001293
01:14:57.920 --> 01:15:00.060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya babalikan ko po kasi I think the question...

asr-001294
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:01.460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: was premised on pangungutang.

asr-001295
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.

asr-001296
01:15:05.580 --> 01:15:09.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya nga, dapat meron coupled with prudent fiscal planning

asr-001297
01:15:09.520 --> 01:15:11.400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kasi yung pangungutang, mas maganda po yan

asr-001298
01:15:11.400 --> 01:15:14.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kung nagtitrigger po yan ng economic activity sa baba.

asr-001299
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.

asr-001300
01:15:17.180 --> 01:15:19.980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya nga po, talagang ginagawa po natin

asr-001301
01:15:19.980 --> 01:15:24.240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na mapababa din po yung ating debt to GDP,

asr-001302
01:15:24.540 --> 01:15:27.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: deficit to GDP, kasi sa standing po talaga natin

asr-001303
01:15:27.800 --> 01:15:30.320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is sustainable pa po yung ating debt levels

asr-001304
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

asr-001305
01:15:33.480 --> 01:15:36.140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa atin ng mga investors at dinadala po nila

asr-001306
01:15:36.140 --> 01:15:38.380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang kanilang mga kapital dito sa ating bansa

asr-001307
01:15:38.380 --> 01:15:41.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na nakakapagdagdag din po to revenue

asr-001308
01:15:41.300 --> 01:15:44.660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: or possible na pinagkukuhanan po natin

asr-001309
01:15:44.660 --> 01:15:47.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng paggagastusan para po mapalawak po natin

asr-001310
01:15:47.440 --> 01:15:50.460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at mapalaki po natin ang ating fiscal space.

asr-001311
01:15:51.080 --> 01:15:52.460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honors.

asr-001312
01:15:52.460 --> 01:15:55.340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So just to give you that answer,

asr-001313
01:15:55.900 --> 01:15:57.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think holistically, it also,

asr-001314
01:15:57.800 --> 01:16:00.660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: comes different on different levels and different variables.

asr-001315
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,

asr-001316
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

asr-001317
01:16:09.220 --> 01:16:13.100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of the data of the Department of Finance is concerned

asr-001318
01:16:13.100 --> 01:16:15.260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and we hope that it can continue on

asr-001319
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

asr-001320
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

asr-001321
01:16:23.880 --> 01:16:26.580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: so that it can also be translated into more revenue

asr-001322
01:16:26.580 --> 01:16:27.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that the DOF can collect.

asr-001323
01:16:28.420 --> 01:16:30.400
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker,

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

asr-001340
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.

asr-001341
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.

asr-001342
01:17:24.300 --> 01:17:26.140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We spent so much, Mr. Speaker, and so more.

asr-001343
01:17:26.260 --> 01:17:27.700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ibig sabihin, malaki po yung...

asr-001344
01:17:27.800 --> 01:17:33.130
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ating pumapasok po sa atin na ating nagagastos. [unclear] Honor.

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Nobody says no to Abalos from Mandaluyong, Mr. Speaker.

asr-001356
01:18:10.900 --> 01:18:12.380
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker.

asr-001357
01:18:12.880 --> 01:18:17.020
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Sa pagkakataong ito, Mr. Speaker, may mga katanungan lamang po ako

asr-001358
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.

asr-001359
01:18:26.180 --> 01:18:30.440
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Mr. Speaker, Republic Act No. 12001,

asr-001360
01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:34.960
Rep. JC M. Abalos: otherwise known as the Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act,

asr-001361
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,

asr-001362
01:18:42.540 --> 01:18:45.640
Rep. JC M. Abalos: promote transparency, improve tax administration,

asr-001363
01:18:46.220 --> 01:18:50.500
Rep. JC M. Abalos: and strengthen fiscal capacity of local government units.

asr-001364
01:18:51.020 --> 01:18:55.360
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Mr. Speaker, while the objectives of the law remain worthy and necessary,

asr-001367
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.

asr-001368
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.

asr-001369
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.

asr-001370
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.

asr-001371
01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:49.920
Rep. JC M. Abalos: And, Mr. Speaker, if I may add...

asr-001372
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.

asr-001373
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,

asr-001374
01:20:19.040 --> 01:20:21.760
Rep. JC M. Abalos: na pansamantalang pagsuspende ng

asr-001375
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,

asr-001376
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.

asr-001377
01:20:41.200 --> 01:20:46.440
Rep. JC M. Abalos: At ito rin po ang naging rekomendasyon ng Private Sector Advisory Council.

asr-001378
01:20:46.860 --> 01:20:49.200
Rep. JC M. Abalos: That being said, Mr. Speaker, gusto ko po malaman...

asr-001379
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.

asr-001380
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.

asr-001381
01:21:12.400 --> 01:21:14.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, isa po rito yung RPVARA.

asr-001382
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.

asr-001383
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,

asr-001384
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.

asr-001385
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,

asr-001386
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.

asr-001387
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?

asr-001388
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.

asr-001389
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.

asr-001390
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?

asr-001391
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?

asr-001392
01:22:47.180 --> 01:22:47.840
Rep. JC M. Abalos: As scheduled.

asr-001393
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.

asr-001394
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.

asr-001395
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.

asr-001396
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.

asr-001397
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.

asr-001398
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.

asr-001399
01:23:47.180 --> 01:23:47.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Probably.

asr-001400
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.

asr-001401
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.

asr-001402
01:24:06.700 --> 01:24:09.100
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Maraming salamat, Mr. Distinguished Sponsor.

asr-001403
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,

asr-001404
01:24:17.180 --> 01:24:21.040
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Pangulo, na suspendihin yung RPVARA kung wala po tayong pinapagbasihan.

asr-001405
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,

asr-001406
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,

asr-001407
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.

asr-001408
01:24:43.400 --> 01:24:44.360
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Yun lamang po, Mr. Speaker.

asr-001409
01:24:44.560 --> 01:24:45.160
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Maraming salamat po.

asr-001409-split-2
01:24:45.160 --> 01:24:46.920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We can guarantee.

asr-001410
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.

asr-001411
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.

asr-001412
01:25:00.420 --> 01:25:01.000
Rep. JC M. Abalos: Maraming salamat.

asr-001413
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.

asr-001414
01:25:06.020 --> 01:25:07.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So supportado po kami dyan.

asr-001415
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.

asr-001416
01:25:13.160 --> 01:25:13.780
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Majority Leader.

asr-001417
01:25:14.580 --> 01:25:17.000
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: Mr. Speaker, next to interpellate the sponsor.

asr-001418
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.

asr-001419
01:25:25.260 --> 01:25:29.860
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Honorable Edgar Erice, you are recognized, sir. Please proceed.

asr-001420
01:25:32.940 --> 01:25:38.680
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Speaker, sa ating Majority Leader at ginoong sponsor.

asr-001421
01:25:38.680 --> 01:25:40.680
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Good afternoon.

asr-001422
01:25:42.060 --> 01:25:47.060
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang pinakamahalagang tanong sa 2027 National Budget ay hindi lamang,

asr-001423
01:25:47.180 --> 01:25:50.780
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: kung magkano ang nais gastusin ng pamahalaan.

asr-001424
01:25:51.380 --> 01:25:55.860
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang mas mahalagang tanong ay may kakayahan ba talaga tayong likumin

asr-001425
01:25:55.860 --> 01:25:59.920
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ang salaping ipinangakong gagastusin.

asr-001426
01:26:00.920 --> 01:26:08.320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang target nakita para sa 2027 ay humigit kumulang 5.26 trillion.

asr-001427
01:26:09.160 --> 01:26:16.180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Halos 399 bilyong mas mataas kaysa sa binagong target para sa 2026.

asr-001428
01:26:17.180 --> 01:26:24.180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ngunit, habang itinataas natin ng target, bumabagal ang paglago ng ekonomiya.

asr-001429
01:26:24.180 --> 01:26:26.180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Humihina ang pamumuhunan.

asr-001430
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.

asr-001431
01:26:36.180 --> 01:26:40.180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kaya, ito po ang aking mga katanungan.

asr-001432
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?

asr-001434
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?

asr-001435
01:27:04.180 --> 01:27:07.180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: May I just be clarified, Mr. Speaker?

asr-001436
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?

asr-001437
01:27:15.640 --> 01:27:17.180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Maybe just a ballpark

asr-001438
01:27:17.180 --> 01:27:19.680
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: figure. On how

asr-001439
01:27:19.680 --> 01:27:20.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Okay.

asr-001440
01:27:20.200 --> 01:27:27.880
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: did you arrive with the 5.26 trillion target?

asr-001441
01:27:33.180 --> 01:27:34.180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-001442
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.

asr-001443
01:27:46.180 --> 01:27:48.280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honors, the revenue targets are based

asr-001444
01:27:48.280 --> 01:27:50.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: on the latest macroeconomic

asr-001445
01:27:50.040 --> 01:27:52.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: variables approved by

asr-001446
01:27:52.160 --> 01:27:54.060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the DBCC. The

asr-001447
01:27:54.060 --> 01:27:56.140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Department of Finance uses a buoyancy or

asr-001448
01:27:56.140 --> 01:27:58.120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: elasticity-based model in projecting the

asr-001449
01:27:58.120 --> 01:28:00.360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: revenues, Mr. Speaker. And the projected

asr-001450
01:28:00.360 --> 01:28:02.380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 398.6

asr-001451
01:28:02.380 --> 01:28:04.320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: billion year-on-year increase

asr-001452
01:28:04.320 --> 01:28:05.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in the revenues in

asr-001453
01:28:05.300 --> 01:28:08.320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 2027

asr-001454
01:28:08.320 --> 01:28:10.340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: will mainly come from

asr-001455
01:28:10.340 --> 01:28:11.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: tax revenues

asr-001456
01:28:11.560 --> 01:28:13.700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: increasing by

asr-001457
01:28:13.700 --> 01:28:16.060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 409.2 billion pesos

asr-001458
01:28:16.060 --> 01:28:18.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: but with expected decline,

asr-001459
01:28:18.160 --> 01:28:19.960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, in the non-tax revenues

asr-001460
01:28:19.960 --> 01:28:22.020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: by 10.7 billion pesos.

asr-001461
01:28:22.360 --> 01:28:24.280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Hence, the net increase

asr-001462
01:28:24.280 --> 01:28:26.480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of 398.6

asr-001463
01:28:26.480 --> 01:28:27.240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: billion pesos.

asr-001464
01:28:28.040 --> 01:28:30.920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Furthermore, Mr. Speaker, the 409.2

asr-001465
01:28:30.920 --> 01:28:32.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: billion tax revenue increase

asr-001466
01:28:32.540 --> 01:28:34.420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in 2027, or

asr-001467
01:28:34.420 --> 01:28:36.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: around 9.21%,

asr-001468
01:28:36.520 --> 01:28:38.400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is broadly in line with the

asr-001469
01:28:38.400 --> 01:28:40.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: DBCC-approved projected nominal

asr-001470
01:28:40.440 --> 01:28:42.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: GDP increase of

asr-001471
01:28:42.200 --> 01:28:43.780

asr-001494

01:29:33.880 --> 01:29:36.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: just a projected rate,

asr-001499
01:29:37.100 --> 01:29:38.320

asr-001508
01:29:51.380 --> 01:29:53.340

asr-001509
01:29:53.340 --> 01:29:55.120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: into lower tax revenue

asr-001510

01:53:32.920 --> 01:53:33.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

asr-002139
01:53:33.980 --> 01:53:37.220

asr-002143
01:53:42.780 --> 01:53:44.180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, that's correct, Mr. Speaker.

01:53:52.700 --> 01:53:55.180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: 1.695 trillion

asr-002149

asr-002160

asr-002350
02:04:46.680 --> 02:04:57.150

asr-002351
02:04:57.150 --> 02:05:00.000

asr-002362
02:05:40.920 --> 02:05:41.740

asr-002363
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,

asr-002364
02:05:54.220 --> 02:05:59.980
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: magkano kaya yung tinataya na maaaring pagbaba ng presyo kada litro?

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.

asr-002366
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?

asr-002367
02:06:28.900 --> 02:06:29.980
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi pa lahat.

asr-002368
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,

asr-002369
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.

asr-002370
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.

asr-002371
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.

asr-002372
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.

asr-002373
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.

asr-002374
02:07:29.580 --> 02:07:33.700
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi biro ang pagtataas na ito ng presyo.

asr-002375
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?

asr-002376
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.

asr-002377
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.

asr-002378
02:07:58.580 --> 02:08:03.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: At talagang identified po yung dapat natin isuspende.

asr-002379
02:08:03.840 --> 02:08:05.680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kasi maapektuhan din po ito ng collection.

asr-002380
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,

asr-002381
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,

asr-002382
02:08:18.720 --> 02:08:21.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: according, naaayon po doon sa uplift program.

asr-002383
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,

asr-002384
02:08:27.660 --> 02:08:29.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na under energy crisis tayo.

asr-002385
02:08:29.900 --> 02:08:33.140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, may tulong po sa ating mga transportation sector.

asr-002386
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,

asr-002387
02:08:38.360 --> 02:08:40.320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na pupunta sa kanilang mga skwela.

asr-002388
02:08:40.440 --> 02:08:42.660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: May mga subsidies po na binibigay.

asr-002389
02:08:43.680 --> 02:08:45.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Fisher folks na mentioned po.

asr-002390
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,

asr-002391
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.

asr-002392
02:08:56.660 --> 02:08:57.640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, hindi lang.

asr-002393
02:08:57.740 --> 02:09:01.760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, transportation sector ang naapektuan po dito.

asr-002394
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.

asr-002395
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.

asr-002396
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,

asr-002397
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,

asr-002398
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.

asr-002399
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.

asr-002400
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

asr-002401
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

asr-002402
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

asr-002403
02:09:55.740 --> 02:10:05.760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para immediately as a response, emergency response, assistance, emergency assistance

asr-002404
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.

asr-002405
02:10:12.080 --> 02:10:16.480
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Speaker, ginaong sponsor, sabi niyo meron namang targeted subsidies.

asr-002406
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,

asr-002407
02:10:22.920 --> 02:10:24.840
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: gaano ba karami yung mga naabot,

asr-002408
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.

asr-002409
02:10:29.720 --> 02:10:33.440
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kasi nababahala po tayo at tingin po natin, okay lang,

asr-002410
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

asr-002411
02:10:39.440 --> 02:10:44.020
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: dahil meron namang ayuda, meron namang mga subsidiya.

asr-002412
02:10:44.560 --> 02:10:47.460
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngunit, malimbawa na lang po at nais ko po,

asr-002413
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.

asr-002414
02:10:54.580 --> 02:10:57.520
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero sa bahagi pa lang po ng mga manging isda,

asr-002415
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.

asr-002416
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.

asr-002417
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.

asr-002418
02:11:15.340 --> 02:11:18.060
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa tingin niyo po ba makatarungan na ganito yung nangyayari?

asr-002419
02:11:18.060 --> 02:11:23.300
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Na habang ang mga pinakamahihirap po natin ang mga sektor,

asr-002420
02:11:23.300 --> 02:11:25.220
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: hindi pa naaabot ng mga tulong,

asr-002421
02:11:25.560 --> 02:11:29.020
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: eh hindi natin ginagamit yung kapangyarihan na nga na naigawad.

asr-002422
02:11:29.160 --> 02:11:35.460
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Emergency power, ibig sabihin, hindi po ito yung magpapatumpik-tumpik tayo.

asr-002423
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.

asr-002424
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.

asr-002425
02:11:50.940 --> 02:11:52.460
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi na nga lang po pinakamahihirap.

asr-002426
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.

asr-002427
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,

asr-002428
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.

asr-002429
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.

asr-002430
02:12:21.020 --> 02:12:23.040
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nabanggit nyo din po, no, kasi kailangan,

asr-002431
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.

asr-002432
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?

asr-002433
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.

asr-002434
02:12:48.880 --> 02:12:51.880
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kasi Mr. Speaker, hindi pa po bumabalik sa...

asr-002435
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,

asr-002436
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.

asr-002437
02:13:10.140 --> 02:13:14.200
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Magkano na po yung total VAT collection from petroleum products?

asr-002438
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.

asr-002439
02:13:21.140 --> 02:13:21.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes.

asr-002440
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.

asr-002441
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

asr-002442
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.

asr-002443
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.

asr-002444
02:13:52.220 --> 02:13:55.920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: itong mga pangangailangan ng ating mga mamamayan.

asr-002445
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,

asr-002446
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.

asr-002447
02:14:10.180 --> 02:14:13.840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Halimbawa, for DSWD, kanilang datos po manggagaling.

asr-002448
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

asr-002449
02:14:22.000 --> 02:14:24.350
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at maibigay sa ating mga kababayan.

asr-002450
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,

asr-002451
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.

asr-002452
02:14:38.920 --> 02:14:42.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So sa ngayon po, ang ating datos...

asr-002453
02:14:42.300 --> 02:14:43.580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ...

asr-002454
02:14:43.580 --> 02:15:00.000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So sa ngayon po, dahil nga from March to June...

asr-002455
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.

asr-002456
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.

asr-002457
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.

asr-002458
02:15:52.400 --> 02:15:55.500
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat, Kinoong Speaker. Hindi po ba kumita pa po?

asr-002459
02:15:55.500 --> 02:15:59.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang pamahalaan mula doon sa mas mataas na VAT collection?

asr-002460
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.

asr-002461
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.

asr-002462
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.

asr-002463
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.

asr-002464
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.

asr-002465
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.

asr-002466
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.

asr-002467
02:17:02.960 --> 02:17:04.320
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Buti po sana po.

asr-002467-split-2
02:17:04.320 --> 02:17:05.140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We empathize.

asr-002467-split-3
02:17:05.140 --> 02:17:11.400
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Buong nawawala nilang kita sa isang araw ay napupunan.

asr-002468
02:17:11.840 --> 02:17:15.760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang problema po natin, hindi naman po ganun yung sitwasyon.

asr-002469
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.

asr-002470
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.

asr-002471
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.

asr-002472
02:17:43.780 --> 02:17:47.780
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Yan po ay katumbas ng pagkain nila sa pagkainan.

asr-002473
02:17:48.660 --> 02:17:53.780
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi po pareho yung epekto sa kanila sa epekto sa middle

asr-002474
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.

asr-002475
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.

asr-002476
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.

asr-002477
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.

asr-002478
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.

asr-002479
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.

asr-002480
02:18:39.220 --> 02:18:41.520
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ganon din po sa mga magsasaka.

asr-002481
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.

asr-002482
02:18:52.780 --> 02:18:55.160
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Dahil nga napakataas ng cost of production.

asr-002483
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.

asr-002484
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.

asr-002485
02:19:13.480 --> 02:19:17.020
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Dahil kapag sila po ay bumiyahe, ay lugi pa sila.

asr-002486
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,

asr-002487
02:19:23.900 --> 02:19:27.280
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: kailangan nilang bumiyahe ng 14 to 15 hours.

asr-002488
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.

asr-002489
02:19:31.360 --> 02:19:33.900
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya ho, nananawagan ho tayo.

asr-002490
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.

asr-002491
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,

asr-002492
02:19:48.580 --> 02:19:51.580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: hindi yung tao na sobra-sobra ng pagtitiis.

asr-002493
02:19:52.440 --> 02:19:53.580
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Dahil sa mataas

asr-002494
02:19:53.900 --> 02:19:57.540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: na presyo ng diesel, ng gasolina.

asr-002495
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

asr-002496
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,

asr-002497
02:20:16.280 --> 02:20:19.080
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ang DOF mismo ang nag-ulat.

asr-002498
02:20:20.140 --> 02:20:21.800
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: And I quote from their presentation,

asr-002499
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.

asr-002500
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.

asr-002501
02:20:46.160 --> 02:20:49.440
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero bakit hindi pa po natin itodo?

asr-002502
02:20:49.840 --> 02:20:51.780
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kumpara temporarily lang naman.

asr-002503
02:20:51.800 --> 02:20:52.500
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Diba?

asr-002504
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

asr-002505
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.

asr-002506
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,

asr-002507
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.

asr-002508
02:21:21.800 --> 02:21:30.580

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In very ordinary situation, paano ka naman magbibigay ng isang,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, kailangan din po natin balansihin yun.

asr-002538
02:24:20.360 --> 02:24:23.020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: interpelator, pagdating po sa pulisiya.

asr-002539
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.

asr-002540
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

asr-002541
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

02:24:48.040 --> 02:24:49.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: o subsidies.

asr-002543
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,

asr-002544
02:24:57.840 --> 02:25:02.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: tulad nalimbawa ng Department of Agriculture, tulad nalimbawa ng DSWD.

asr-002545
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.

asr-002546
02:25:11.160 --> 02:25:14.000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, kailangan lang po natin balancing approach.

asr-002547
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,

asr-002548
02:25:20.360 --> 02:25:23.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: or will be specifically used to target beneficiaries.

asr-002549
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

asr-002550
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.

asr-002551
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.

asr-002552
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,

asr-002553
02:25:49.360 --> 02:25:50.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: lalong-lalo

asr-002554
02:25:50.360 --> 02:25:54.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: na po sa crudo na ginagamit nga sa sektor ng agrikultura.

asr-002555
02:25:54.360 --> 02:25:56.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At malinaw yung kanilang posisyon.

asr-002556
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,

asr-002557
02:26:03.360 --> 02:26:06.860
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: pansamantala na excise taxes sa petroleum products.

asr-002558
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,

asr-002559
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.

asr-002560
02:26:18.360 --> 02:26:19.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nabanggit ko ito.

asr-002561
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.

asr-002562
02:26:28.360 --> 02:26:30.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mismo kausapin niyo po yung mga jeepney drivers.

asr-002563
02:26:30.360 --> 02:26:35.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: As in, ibang level po ng kahirapan yung kanilang hinaharap ngayon.

asr-002564
02:26:35.360 --> 02:26:37.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Wala na talagang kita.

asr-002565
02:26:37.360 --> 02:26:39.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Baon pa sa utang.

asr-002566
02:26:39.360 --> 02:26:40.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ganyan po ang kalagayan.

asr-002567
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.

asr-002568
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.

asr-002569
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.

asr-002570
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.

asr-002571
02:27:03.360 --> 02:27:09.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Halimbawa, yung fuel subsidy ng LTFRB, zero for 2027.

asr-002572
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.

asr-002573
02:27:17.360 --> 02:27:20.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Zero din sa 2027 budget.

asr-002574
02:27:20.360 --> 02:27:23.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: So, ano pong aasahan ng mga sektor na ito?

asr-002575
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.

asr-002576
02:27:30.360 --> 02:27:32.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Tulad po ng VAT, ng excise taxes.

asr-002577
02:27:32.360 --> 02:27:33.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Hindi naman po sa lahat.

asr-002578
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.

asr-002579
02:27:42.360 --> 02:27:45.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya po muli, ang hamon ko po sa DOF.

asr-002580
02:27:45.360 --> 02:27:46.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kasi nagtanong po tayo sa DA.

asr-002581
02:27:46.360 --> 02:27:50.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang stand nila, mabawasan ang presyo ng langis.

asr-002582
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.

asr-002583
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.

asr-002584
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.

asr-002585
02:28:16.360 --> 02:28:18.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pagdating sa mga hakbang na yan.

asr-002586
02:28:18.360 --> 02:28:23.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kaya po, yun ang hamon natin sa ating economic managers.

asr-002587
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.

asr-002588
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?

asr-002589
02:28:33.360 --> 02:28:36.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nakaabot ba sa inyo yung fuel subsidies?

asr-002590
02:28:36.360 --> 02:28:40.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nakatulong ba para makatuloy kayo ng laot?

asr-002591
02:28:40.360 --> 02:28:42.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Nakatulong ba para makapagtanim kayo muli?

asr-002592
02:28:42.360 --> 02:28:44.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang laki po ng hamon sa ating bayan.

asr-002593
02:28:44.360 --> 02:28:45.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Malaking magagagawa.

asr-002594
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.

asr-002595
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.

asr-002596
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.

asr-002597
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.

asr-002598
02:29:14.360 --> 02:29:16.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ng industry.

asr-002599
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.

asr-002600
02:29:23.360 --> 02:29:25.360
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Yan po ang panawagan ng mga kababaihan.

asr-002601
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.

asr-002895

02:41:41.360 --> 02:41:42.740
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: yung tanong ko po is,

asr-002940
02:41:43.140 --> 02:41:45.500

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: na earmark for health

asr-002943
02:41:49.500 --> 02:41:51.340
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: and the amount reflected on

02:41:51.340 --> 02:41:52.280
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: the NEP? Or,

asr-002945

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: pwede po bang i-commit or

asr-002946
02:41:55.240 --> 02:41:57.160
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: i-admit ng DOF

asr-002947
02:41:57.160 --> 02:41:59.140
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: na indeed may shortfall

asr-002948
02:41:59.140 --> 02:42:01.060
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: po between the amount that should

asr-002949
02:42:01.060 --> 02:42:02.820
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: be earmarked for health

asr-002950
02:42:02.820 --> 02:42:05.160
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: under existing laws and the amount

asr-002951
02:42:05.160 --> 02:42:06.660
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: reflected in the NEP?

asr-002952
02:42:08.820 --> 02:42:11.120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So based on the rate,

asr-002953
02:42:11.200 --> 02:42:13.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, which is 80% of

asr-002954
02:42:13.160 --> 02:42:15.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the 50% of the entire collected from

asr-002955
02:42:15.080 --> 02:42:16.840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the same taxes that goes to PhilHealth,

asr-002956
02:42:17.280 --> 02:42:18.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: from 2025,

asr-002957
02:42:20.340 --> 02:42:22.020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: it's 69.81

asr-002958
02:42:22.020 --> 02:42:23.100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: billion pesos.

asr-002959
02:42:24.020 --> 02:42:24.920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And this year,

asr-002960
02:42:25.260 --> 02:42:27.240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, we have collected

asr-002961
02:42:27.240 --> 02:42:29.120

asr-002962
02:42:29.140 --> 02:42:31.140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: billion pesos, Mrs.

asr-002963
02:42:31.260 --> 02:42:31.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-002964
02:42:33.580 --> 02:42:34.640
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat po.

asr-002965
02:42:35.520 --> 02:42:36.700
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ulitin ko po

asr-002966
02:42:36.700 --> 02:42:39.060
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: yung tanong ko, pangatlong

asr-002967
02:42:39.060 --> 02:42:40.700
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: beses sa DOF.

asr-002968
02:42:41.520 --> 02:42:43.260
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ang tanong ko po, can the

asr-002969
02:42:43.260 --> 02:42:45.160
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: DOF confirm that

asr-002970
02:42:45.160 --> 02:42:46.880
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: there is indeed a shortfall

asr-002971
02:42:46.880 --> 02:42:49.080
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: between the amount that should be

asr-002972
02:42:49.080 --> 02:42:50.900
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: earmarked for health under

asr-002973
02:42:50.900 --> 02:42:52.800
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: existing laws and the amount

asr-002974
02:42:52.800 --> 02:42:54.940
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: actually reflected in the NEP?

asr-002975
02:42:56.860 --> 02:42:58.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: What we can actually give,

asr-002976
02:42:59.140 --> 02:43:00.980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as a guarantee, or as a response to your

asr-002977
02:43:00.980 --> 02:43:02.380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: question, is that there's really

asr-002978
02:43:02.380 --> 02:43:04.960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: a difference, no? There's a difference.

asr-002979
02:43:05.620 --> 02:43:07.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But, yeah, there's a difference

asr-002980
02:43:07.160 --> 02:43:09.260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: between collection,

asr-002981
02:43:09.420 --> 02:43:10.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the computed, collected,

asr-002982
02:43:11.020 --> 02:43:13.000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and earmarked. Kasi earmarked po ito na

asr-002983
02:43:13.000 --> 02:43:15.100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: revenue, right? It should go directly to the PhilHealth.

asr-002984
02:43:15.420 --> 02:43:16.980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So there's a difference

asr-002985
02:43:16.980 --> 02:43:18.900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: between what is collected as

asr-002986
02:43:18.900 --> 02:43:20.660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: earmarked directly to the

asr-002987
02:43:20.660 --> 02:43:22.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: PhilHealth versus

asr-002988
02:43:22.940 --> 02:43:24.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: what is being appropriated.

asr-002989
02:43:24.560 --> 02:43:26.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So it's not really a shortfall

asr-002990
02:43:26.540 --> 02:43:28.900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in a sense that there's a difference.

asr-002991
02:43:29.140 --> 02:43:30.680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In terms of

asr-002992
02:43:30.680 --> 02:43:32.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the amount collected

asr-002993
02:43:32.520 --> 02:43:35.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and the amount that is

asr-002994
02:43:35.160 --> 02:43:36.360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: supposed to go through

asr-002995
02:43:36.360 --> 02:43:38.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the PhilHealth,

asr-002996
02:43:39.000 --> 02:43:41.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as appropriated

asr-002997
02:43:41.220 --> 02:43:42.460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: by DBM, Mrs. Speaker.

asr-002998
02:43:43.220 --> 02:43:45.020
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Siguro, kailangan po ninyong

asr-002999
02:43:45.020 --> 02:43:47.020
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: mag-usap pati ng DBM, kasi

asr-003000
02:43:47.020 --> 02:43:48.980
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ang DBM po, inadmit na

asr-003001
02:43:48.980 --> 02:43:50.600
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: indeed may shortfall po.

asr-003002
02:43:51.260 --> 02:43:52.720
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: So kailangan mag-usap po kayo.

asr-003003
02:43:53.500 --> 02:43:55.300
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: At sa computations din po

asr-003004
02:43:55.300 --> 02:43:57.260
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: namin, indeed may shortfall po.

asr-003005
02:43:57.260 --> 02:43:58.840
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Next question.

asr-003006
02:43:59.140 --> 02:44:00.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Just to be clarified, Mrs. Speaker,

asr-003007
02:44:00.860 --> 02:44:02.600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: just a response to that, Mrs. Speaker. I think

asr-003008
02:44:02.600 --> 02:44:05.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: DBM, on the basis of their mandate

asr-003009
02:44:05.080 --> 02:44:06.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to allocate fundings,

asr-003010
02:44:06.980 --> 02:44:09.120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: maybe they have that

asr-003011
02:44:09.120 --> 02:44:11.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: assessment as to

asr-003012
02:44:11.160 --> 02:44:13.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: determining whether there's a shortfall or not.

asr-003013
02:44:13.580 --> 02:44:15.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The DOF primary

asr-003014
02:44:15.040 --> 02:44:16.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: consideration is how to

asr-003015
02:44:16.540 --> 02:44:18.980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: generate revenue

asr-003016
02:44:18.980 --> 02:44:20.660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: from the taxes that we collect

asr-003017
02:44:20.660 --> 02:44:22.980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and then the terminology that

asr-003018
02:44:22.980 --> 02:44:25.000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we use, the DOF use,

asr-003019
02:44:25.120 --> 02:44:26.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is differences and not on

asr-003020
02:44:26.720 --> 02:44:28.660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the technical implication

asr-003021
02:44:28.660 --> 02:44:30.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of designing it or

asr-003022
02:44:30.040 --> 02:44:32.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: describing it as a windfall.

asr-003023
02:44:32.440 --> 02:44:34.360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Because the DBM po yung na terminology, Mrs. Speaker.

asr-003024
02:44:34.480 --> 02:44:36.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Just for a clarification and to put

asr-003025
02:44:36.860 --> 02:44:37.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that on record, Mrs. Speaker.

asr-003026
02:44:37.880 --> 02:44:40.660
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mr. Speaker, Mr. Sponsor, naintindihan ko po

asr-003027
02:44:40.660 --> 02:44:42.400
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: yung naging sagot

asr-003028
02:44:42.400 --> 02:44:44.740
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: or yung naging explanation po

asr-003029
02:44:44.740 --> 02:44:46.620
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ng ating distinguished sponsor.

asr-003030
02:44:47.740 --> 02:44:48.300
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: However,

asr-003031
02:44:48.900 --> 02:44:50.520
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: mukhang meron nga po talagang

asr-003032
02:44:50.520 --> 02:44:52.340
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: hindi pagkakaintindihan dito

asr-003033
02:44:52.340 --> 02:44:54.440
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: between the DOF and the DBM.

asr-003034
02:44:54.660 --> 02:44:56.800
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Kasi si DBM, inadmit na nila

asr-003035
02:44:56.800 --> 02:44:58.480
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: na ang certification,

asr-003036
02:44:58.660 --> 02:44:59.740
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: po, ay nag-fail.

asr-003037
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.

asr-003038
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.

asr-003039
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.

asr-003040
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.

asr-003041
02:45:45.400 --> 02:45:47.840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We certify that to DBM.

asr-003042
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.

asr-003043
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?

asr-003044
02:46:11.860 --> 02:46:14.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Let me again refer to the data, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003045
02:46:14.040 --> 02:46:14.280
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Yes, ma'am.

asr-003046
02:46:20.740 --> 02:46:22.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, sin taxes po.

asr-003047
02:46:22.160 --> 02:46:27.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, composed of tobacco, alcohol, e-cigarettes, sweetened beverages.

asr-003048
02:46:28.080 --> 02:46:29.240
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: As a whole na lang po.

asr-003049
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.

asr-003050
02:46:50.740 --> 02:46:52.140
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sige po. Maraming salamat.

asr-003051
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?

asr-003052
02:47:04.960 --> 02:47:05.960
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Thank you.

asr-003053
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.

asr-003054
02:47:44.160 --> 02:47:46.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: That's for PhilHealth, earmarked revenue.

asr-003055
02:47:46.680 --> 02:47:47.400
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Salamat po.

asr-003056
02:47:47.400 --> 02:47:52.000
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Based sa mga nakaraang GAA, magkano ang amounts na appropriated?

asr-003057
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.

asr-003058
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.

asr-003059
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.

asr-003060
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.

asr-003061
02:48:38.140 --> 02:48:39.280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We will do that, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-003062
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?

asr-003063
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.

asr-003064
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,

asr-003065
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?

asr-003066
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,

asr-003067
02:49:47.240 --> 02:49:49.420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we will, the DOF will have to sit down.

asr-003068
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.

asr-003069
02:50:00.920 --> 02:50:02.180
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sige po. Maraming salamat.

asr-003070
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,

asr-003071
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?

asr-003072
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?

asr-003073
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.

asr-003074
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.

asr-003075
02:50:40.640 --> 02:50:46.640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, and also...

asr-003076
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.

asr-003077
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.

asr-003078
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?

asr-003079
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,

asr-003080
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.

asr-003081
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.

asr-003082
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...

asr-003083
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.

asr-003084
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.

asr-003085
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.

asr-003086
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.

asr-003087
02:53:05.160 --> 02:53:11.580
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Second, latest certification use as the basis for the 2027 PhilHealth funding.

asr-003088
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.

asr-003089
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.

asr-003090
02:53:30.140 --> 02:53:31.760
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Tatlo lamang po yung hinihingi ko.

asr-003091
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.

asr-003092
02:53:39.040 --> 02:53:40.140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Maraming salamat po.

asr-003093
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,

asr-003094
02:53:46.740 --> 02:53:49.140
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: can the DOF clarify if there are...

asr-003095
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?

asr-003096
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.

asr-003097
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.

asr-003098
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?

asr-003099
02:54:17.740 --> 02:54:18.680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Or as what the good lady...

asr-003100
02:54:19.440 --> 02:54:22.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: labeled it according to the DBM's terminology.

asr-003100-split-2
02:54:22.800 --> 02:54:23.400
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sige po.

asr-003101
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,

asr-003102
02:54:31.100 --> 02:54:33.080
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: basing on the sin tax collections.

asr-003103
02:54:33.960 --> 02:54:36.280
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: This has been the trend since 2021.

asr-003104
02:54:37.120 --> 02:54:39.540
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Bakit hindi po ito nakokorek hanggang ngayon?

asr-003105
02:54:41.640 --> 02:54:42.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes.

asr-003106
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.

asr-003107
02:54:49.440 --> 02:54:50.120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-003108
02:54:50.120 --> 02:54:50.840
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sige po.

asr-003109
02:54:51.040 --> 02:54:51.560
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: DBM.

asr-003110
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,

asr-003111
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?

asr-003112
02:55:09.800 --> 02:55:12.060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It's we submit, Mrs. Speaker, the certification.

asr-003113
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.

asr-003114
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?

asr-003115
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?

asr-003116
02:55:43.480 --> 02:55:48.460
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Naintindihan ko na po na laging kay DBM, kay DBM, kay DBM.

asr-003117
02:55:48.640 --> 02:55:48.920
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Pero, ano?

asr-003118
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?

asr-003119
02:55:54.220 --> 02:55:56.260
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Gayon, ganito nga po ang mga nangyayari.

asr-003120
02:55:56.600 --> 02:55:58.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We will definitely coordinate.

asr-003121
02:55:58.660 --> 02:56:01.340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The DOF has been coordinating with the DBM.

asr-003122
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.

asr-003123
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.

asr-003124
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,

asr-003125
02:56:19.400 --> 02:56:20.900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: there's already that collected amount.

asr-003126
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.

asr-003127
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,

asr-003128
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.

asr-003129
02:56:47.880 --> 02:56:48.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We definitely.

asr-003130
02:56:49.400 --> 02:56:51.960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We definitely support that, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-003131
02:56:52.900 --> 02:56:55.360
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Huling katanungan na lamang po, ulitin ko lang.

asr-003132
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?

asr-003133
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.

asr-003134
02:57:18.540 --> 02:57:20.020
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat po.

asr-003135
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.

asr-003136
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,

asr-003137
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.

asr-003138
02:57:47.040 --> 02:57:48.000
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Isang

asr-003139
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.

asr-003140
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.

asr-003141
02:58:18.540 --> 02:58:21.840
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: para lang makumpleto ang pambayad sa hospital bills.

asr-003142
02:58:22.400 --> 02:58:25.840
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Buhay at kaligtasan ng mamamayan ang nakataya rito,

asr-003143
02:58:26.360 --> 02:58:31.560
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: kaya marapat lamang na itama ang pondong ito upang mabigyan ng buo

asr-003144
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.

asr-003145
02:58:37.740 --> 02:58:41.900
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Mr. Speaker, I will, in the proper time, propose budget amendments

asr-003146
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.

asr-003147
02:58:47.960 --> 02:58:49.200
Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat po.

asr-003148
02:58:49.600 --> 02:58:50.580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Maraming salamat din po.

asr-003149
02:58:51.420 --> 02:58:54.700
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Thank you very much, Representative Ismula, Majority Leader.

asr-003150
02:58:55.120 --> 02:58:57.380
Rep. De Carlo L. Uy: Mr. Speaker, next to interpolate the sponsor,

asr-003151
02:58:57.800 --> 02:59:02.240
Rep. De Carlo L. Uy: I move to recognize Representative Robert Nazal of Partylist BH.

asr-003152
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.

asr-003153
02:59:08.280 --> 02:59:10.340
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Sir, you have the floor and you may proceed.

asr-003154
02:59:17.960 --> 02:59:26.420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003155
02:59:27.420 --> 02:59:30.680
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Good afternoon to our distinguished sponsor and good afternoon to the DOF.

asr-003156
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,

asr-003157
02:59:41.500 --> 02:59:46.680
Rep. Roberto Nazal: is DOF aware that Section 11 of Republic Act No. 7722,

asr-003158
02:59:46.680 --> 02:59:54.240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: expressly provides that the Commission shall appoint a reputable government financial institution

asr-003159
02:59:54.240 --> 02:59:57.120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: as portfolio manager of the Fund.

asr-003160
02:59:57.740 --> 02:59:59.840
Rep. Roberto Nazal: This is with regards to the HEDF.

asr-003161
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.

asr-003162
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?

asr-003163
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.

asr-003164
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.

asr-003165
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.

asr-003166
03:00:53.860 --> 03:00:55.180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, ang tanong ko po,

asr-003167
03:00:55.180 --> 03:00:59.480
Rep. Roberto Nazal: now that this requirement has been brought squarely to DOF's attention,

asr-003168
03:01:00.620 --> 03:01:04.720
Rep. Roberto Nazal: what corrective action will it take together with CHED and DBM,

asr-003169
03:01:05.640 --> 03:01:08.700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: and what date will compliance to the law be ensured?

asr-003170
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.

asr-003171
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,

asr-003172
03:01:21.880 --> 03:01:25.100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: with specific provision cited by the Good.

asr-003173
03:01:25.180 --> 03:01:27.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The gentleman, Congressman Nazal.

asr-003174
03:01:27.860 --> 03:01:29.240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We will look into it.

asr-003175
03:01:31.740 --> 03:01:35.800
Rep. Roberto Nazal: We have been raising this, Distinguished Sponsor, since 2025.

asr-003176
03:01:36.760 --> 03:01:38.580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Ang CHED po, alam po nila yan.

asr-003177
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?

asr-003178
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.

asr-003179
03:01:51.920 --> 03:01:54.320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: If I may be allowed, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003180
03:01:55.180 --> 03:01:57.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, may we request for a few-minute suspension?

asr-003181
03:02:00.360 --> 03:02:01.240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker?

asr-003182
03:02:02.060 --> 03:02:06.580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, just to give accurate answer to Congressman Nazal.

asr-003183
03:02:06.900 --> 03:02:07.460
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yes, please.

asr-003184
03:02:07.680 --> 03:02:08.380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker,

asr-003185
03:02:08.700 --> 03:02:13.960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, the discussion is here.

asr-003186
03:02:14.940 --> 03:02:15.420
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Yes.

asr-003187
03:02:15.860 --> 03:02:18.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Just for a few minutes.

asr-003188
03:02:19.060 --> 03:02:19.800
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Session is suspended.

asr-003198
03:05:20.020 --> 03:05:21.440
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Session is resumed.

asr-003199
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

asr-003200
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,

asr-003201
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.

asr-003202
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.

asr-003202-split-2
03:07:12.450 --> 03:07:14.280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Under a GFI?

asr-003202-split-3
03:07:14.280 --> 03:07:16.100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-003202-split-4
03:07:16.100 --> 03:07:18.500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: In compliance with the law?

asr-003202-split-5
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...

asr-003203
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.

asr-003204
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

asr-003205
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

asr-003206
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

asr-003207
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.

asr-003207-split-2
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?

asr-003208
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.

asr-003208-split-2
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.

asr-003209
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?

asr-003209-split-2
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,

asr-003210
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.

asr-003210-split-2
03:11:19.040 --> 03:11:25.160
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So my basic question, distinguished sponsor, is when will this be complied with?

asr-003211
03:11:25.180 --> 03:11:29.180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Meron na po bang concrete action on when this will happen?

asr-003212
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.

asr-003213
03:11:37.180 --> 03:11:41.180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: It should be the CHED, Mr. Speaker, that directly...

asr-003214
03:11:42.080 --> 03:11:44.460
Rep. Roberto Nazal: But the funds are currently with the BTR.

asr-003215
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?

asr-003216
03:11:47.760 --> 03:11:48.080
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yes.

asr-003217
03:11:48.720 --> 03:11:49.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, there is, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003218
03:11:49.560 --> 03:11:51.180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, what will the DOF...

asr-003219
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.

asr-003220
03:12:02.620 --> 03:12:03.840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, we understand, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003221
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.

asr-003222
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

asr-003223
03:12:18.680 --> 03:12:21.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and as well as the provisions.

asr-003224
03:12:21.180 --> 03:12:23.180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Under the specific law, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-003225
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?

asr-003226
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.

asr-003227
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,

asr-003228
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,

asr-003229
03:12:46.160 --> 03:12:48.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I will ask the DOF to...

asr-003230
03:12:48.300 --> 03:12:50.620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, may I request for a written commitment?

asr-003231
03:12:50.620 --> 03:12:50.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes.

asr-003232
03:12:51.180 --> 03:12:52.440
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yes, from the DOF?

asr-003233
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.

asr-003234
03:12:57.100 --> 03:12:57.700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Nazal, sorry.

asr-003235
03:13:01.280 --> 03:13:04.240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Distinguished sponsor, Mr. Speaker, may I move to my next question?

asr-003236
03:13:05.260 --> 03:13:07.520
Rep. Roberto Nazal: I would like to go to fuel marking.

asr-003237
03:13:08.720 --> 03:13:11.580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker, through you, may I ask our distinguished colleague,

asr-003238
03:13:12.580 --> 03:13:20.000
Rep. Roberto Nazal: what independent evidence shows that fuel marking resists dilution, blending, and chemical alteration?

asr-003239
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?

asr-003240
03:13:28.560 --> 03:13:29.480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003241
03:13:30.100 --> 03:13:33.960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, our declared import volume increased by 77%,

asr-003242
03:13:33.960 --> 03:13:42.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: while duties and taxes collected rose by 179%, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003243
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.

asr-003244
03:13:48.880 --> 03:13:49.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, this is...

asr-003245
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.

asr-003246
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?

asr-003247
03:14:04.440 --> 03:14:08.200
Rep. Roberto Nazal: How much was lost due to smuggling, despite the marking?

asr-003248
03:14:11.760 --> 03:14:15.380
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And the current program, are we evaluating the current program?

asr-003249
03:14:16.060 --> 03:14:19.620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, just to respond to that, Congressman Nazal,

asr-003250
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

asr-003251
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

asr-003252
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.

asr-003253
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,

asr-003254
03:14:50.000 --> 03:14:53.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we can only give you just an approximate.

asr-003255
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.

asr-003256
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.

asr-003257
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?

asr-003258
03:15:30.000 --> 03:15:34.340
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Are inspections reaching high-risk independent stations?

asr-003259
03:15:35.700 --> 03:15:39.220
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Does the current program provide for that?

asr-003260
03:15:40.120 --> 03:15:42.800
Rep. Roberto Nazal: High-risk independent stations, depots, and vessels.

asr-003261
03:15:43.720 --> 03:15:45.580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Where are the cases getting stuck?

asr-003262
03:15:46.240 --> 03:15:49.440
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And what will the DOF change in the current program?

asr-003263
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,

asr-003264
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

asr-003265
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.

asr-003266
03:17:11.940 --> 03:17:15.620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker, may I ask, through the distinguished sponsor.

asr-003267
03:17:15.620 --> 03:17:15.700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you, Sir.

asr-003268
03:17:24.700 --> 03:17:26.620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, the Department of...

asr-003269
03:17:27.140 --> 03:17:29.620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The number of seizures, Mr. Speaker, as...

asr-003270
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...

asr-003271
03:17:48.260 --> 03:17:52.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 202 billion...

asr-003272
03:17:52.800 --> 03:18:00.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 202 million 51,645 and 95 centavos, to be exact.

asr-003273
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?

asr-003274
03:18:04.700 --> 03:18:05.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, yes, we will provide your copy.

asr-003275
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?

asr-003276
03:18:27.280 --> 03:18:29.840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: About, Mr. Speaker, well, about...

asr-003277
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....

asr-003278
03:18:44.700 --> 03:18:47.640
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And this is attributable to fuel marking?

asr-003279
03:18:48.400 --> 03:18:49.500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-003280
03:18:50.500 --> 03:18:53.920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: May I ask for a full report on this?

asr-003281
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.

asr-003282
03:18:59.840 --> 03:19:01.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Projection of that collection, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003283
03:19:03.580 --> 03:19:10.320
Rep. Roberto Nazal: We received reports po that the current arrangement has been cancelled.

asr-003284
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.

asr-003285
03:19:15.880 --> 03:19:21.720
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And now, we are transferring to a PPP arrangement.

asr-003286
03:19:23.100 --> 03:19:28.860
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, and they are proposing a 13.44 billion.

asr-003287
03:19:28.860 --> 03:19:29.800
Rep. Roberto Nazal: The current proposal...

asr-003288
03:19:29.840 --> 03:19:34.060
Rep. Roberto Nazal: The current proposal proposes a 13.44 billion PPP arrangement.

asr-003289
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?

asr-003290
03:19:40.380 --> 03:19:41.660
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And who will pay for this?

asr-003291
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.

asr-003292
03:19:50.620 --> 03:19:52.000
Rep. Roberto Nazal: 10 centavos per liter?

asr-003293
03:19:52.160 --> 03:19:52.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003294
03:19:52.820 --> 03:19:56.240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, yun po ang ipapatong for fuel marking?

asr-003295
03:19:56.620 --> 03:19:57.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, that's correct.

asr-003296
03:19:57.420 --> 03:19:59.480
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And who will cover this?

asr-003297
03:19:59.840 --> 03:20:00.940
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Sino po ang magbabayad yan?

asr-003298
03:20:01.240 --> 03:20:02.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The oil companies, Mr. Speaker, yun.

asr-003299
03:20:02.800 --> 03:20:04.400
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, it will be charged to the consumers?

asr-003300
03:20:07.660 --> 03:20:09.500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, yes, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003301
03:20:09.500 --> 03:20:11.900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Who is currently paying for the current arrangement?

asr-003302
03:20:14.580 --> 03:20:16.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The oil companies, Mr. Speaker, yun.

asr-003303
03:20:17.000 --> 03:20:19.920

asr-003304
03:20:21.760 --> 03:20:22.840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003305
03:20:23.240 --> 03:20:25.280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And how much is being charged currently?

asr-003306
03:20:28.720 --> 03:20:29.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pp. 0.69.

asr-003307
03:20:29.840 --> 03:20:30.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pp. 0.69, Mr. Speaker, yun.

asr-003308
03:20:30.880 --> 03:20:32.340
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, bakit po tataas?

asr-003309
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.

asr-003310
03:20:46.760 --> 03:20:50.600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 2018 kasi yung pricing, yung time na yun.

asr-003311
03:20:50.700 --> 03:20:53.640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, mayroon pong effect ng inflation, Mr. Speaker, yung honor.

asr-003312
03:20:55.120 --> 03:20:59.720
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Based on the current results, ever since we started implementing this,

asr-003313
03:20:59.840 --> 03:21:02.380
Rep. Roberto Nazal: na isa lang po yung naging conviction,

asr-003314
03:21:03.280 --> 03:21:09.900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: do you think, does the DOF think that this current system is effective?

asr-003315
03:21:11.420 --> 03:21:12.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003316
03:21:13.020 --> 03:21:15.120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, we had 100...

asr-003317
03:21:29.840 --> 03:21:35.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, Mr. Speaker, again, yes, we understand, Mr. Speaker,

asr-003318
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?

asr-003319
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,

asr-003320
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,

asr-003321
03:21:53.800 --> 03:21:57.000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: if may hope that Congressman Nazal will also appreciate,

asr-003322
03:21:57.220 --> 03:21:58.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is the estimated...

asr-003323
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.

asr-003357
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.

asr-003358
03:22:09.560 --> 03:22:12.620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Basically, distinguished sponsor, ang gusto ko lang naman pong maintindihan,

asr-003359
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,

asr-003360
03:22:19.380 --> 03:22:23.120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: or basically, ang nangyayari lang po ba is,

asr-003361
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?

asr-003362
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.

asr-003363
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.

asr-003364
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?

asr-003365
03:23:19.040 --> 03:23:19.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003366
03:23:20.480 --> 03:23:20.880
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Meron po.

asr-003367
03:23:21.800 --> 03:23:22.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Meron po.

asr-003368
03:23:22.880 --> 03:23:24.400
Rep. Roberto Nazal: May I ask for a copy of that?

asr-003369
03:23:24.780 --> 03:23:26.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-003370
03:23:27.080 --> 03:23:28.180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And do we already?

asr-003371
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.

asr-003372
03:23:42.540 --> 03:23:58.040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kasi my understanding is that the current provider uses halogens, halogenated compounds.

asr-003373
03:23:58.200 --> 03:24:02.640
Rep. Roberto Nazal: And ang tanong po is na-evaluate po ba natin yan?

asr-003374
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.

asr-003375
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.

asr-003376
03:24:21.740 --> 03:24:26.600
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, ito pong Philippine Marking System natin, na-test na po ito.

asr-003377
03:24:27.000 --> 03:24:27.920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Has this been tested?

asr-003378
03:24:27.920 --> 03:24:30.120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Has this been tested independently for safety?

asr-003379
03:24:30.860 --> 03:24:31.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-003380
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?

asr-003381
03:24:34.620 --> 03:24:37.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We will, yes, we will provide for the copy.

asr-003382
03:24:38.920 --> 03:24:39.480
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you.

asr-003383
03:24:39.760 --> 03:24:42.420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you, Mr. Distinguished Sponsor, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003384
03:24:42.820 --> 03:24:44.240
Rep. Roberto Nazal: I'll move to my next question.

asr-003385
03:24:46.460 --> 03:24:54.480
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker, through you, what does abandoned mean for purposes of declaring savings?

asr-003386
03:24:54.480 --> 03:24:57.880
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Can a project be declared abandoned?

asr-003387
03:24:57.920 --> 03:25:00.860
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Even, even before the contract is awarded?

asr-003388
03:25:02.660 --> 03:25:05.160
Rep. Roberto Nazal: If yes, on what specific grounds?

asr-003389
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.

asr-003390
03:25:19.660 --> 03:25:22.360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Because, you know, allocation of funding,

asr-003391
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.

asr-003461
03:25:30.680 --> 03:25:31.700
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Can you speak up,

asr-003462
03:25:31.700 --> 03:25:33.460
Rep. Roberto Nazal: distinguished sponsor? Sorry, hindi kita marinig.

asr-003463
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

asr-003464
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

asr-003465
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

asr-003466
03:26:18.820 --> 03:26:21.660
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yes but is that the DOF part of uh

asr-003467
03:26:21.660 --> 03:26:21.820
Rep. Roberto Nazal: um

asr-003468
03:26:22.000 --> 03:26:22.920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker

asr-003469
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

asr-003470
03:26:42.940 --> 03:26:46.280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So you're saying that the DOF has nothing to do with this?

asr-003471
03:26:46.640 --> 03:26:49.580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: The allocation Mr. Speaker has

asr-003472
03:26:49.740 --> 03:26:51.340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to obligated funding

asr-003473
03:26:51.360 --> 03:26:51.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: unobligated

asr-003474
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.

asr-003475
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.

asr-003476
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.

asr-003477
03:27:37.040 --> 03:27:45.860
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Okay. Let me move to my next question.

asr-003478
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?

asr-003479
03:27:57.920 --> 03:27:58.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003480
03:27:59.500 --> 03:28:02.200
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So meron na po tayong circular?

asr-003481
03:28:03.440 --> 03:28:04.960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Meron na po, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003482
03:28:06.220 --> 03:28:07.020
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Magandang balita.

asr-003483
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?

asr-003484
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.

asr-003485
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?

asr-003486
03:28:30.420 --> 03:28:32.420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: As we were told, Mr. Speaker, by the ERC.

asr-003487
03:28:33.660 --> 03:28:35.920
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Maraming salamat on that, distinguished sponsor.

asr-003488
03:28:37.040 --> 03:28:42.960
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Now, moving to my next question, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor,

asr-003489
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?

asr-003490
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?

asr-003491
03:29:07.040 --> 03:29:08.420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Barrowing program.

asr-003492
03:29:14.160 --> 03:29:14.920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah.

asr-003493
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,

asr-003494
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.

asr-003495
03:29:33.300 --> 03:29:35.260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So to answer the question, yes po.

asr-003496
03:29:37.040 --> 03:29:38.720
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Could you please repeat that?

asr-003497
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,

asr-003498
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.

asr-003499
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.

asr-003500
03:30:13.940 --> 03:30:14.900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So we already have that.

asr-003501
03:30:14.960 --> 03:30:16.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, meron po yan, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003502
03:30:16.880 --> 03:30:20.560
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you for that, Distinguished Sponsor, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003503
03:30:22.620 --> 03:30:26.160
Rep. Roberto Nazal: My next question is for earmarked revenues.

asr-003504
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.

asr-003505
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,

asr-003506
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?

asr-003507
03:30:56.160 --> 03:31:05.140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, may I be allowed to refer to you?

asr-003508
03:31:23.140 --> 03:31:26.000
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Basically, Distinguished Sponsor, may I just add, no?

asr-003509
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?

asr-003510
03:31:44.900 --> 03:31:46.980
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Do we have a comparative assessment?

asr-003511
03:31:51.040 --> 03:31:55.980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, the DOF doesn't get

asr-003512
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.

asr-003513
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.

asr-003514
03:32:25.500 --> 03:32:26.140
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Is it the Bureau?

asr-003515
03:32:26.140 --> 03:32:28.420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Is it the Bureau of Treasury under the DOF?

asr-003516
03:32:28.480 --> 03:32:28.680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: No.

asr-003517
03:32:30.160 --> 03:32:31.420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: No, Mr. Speaker, yung ano.

asr-003518
03:32:33.280 --> 03:32:36.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Oh, yeah, it's under the DEV-DEV, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003519
03:32:37.120 --> 03:32:40.140
Rep. Roberto Nazal: But the DOF also determines...

asr-003520
03:32:41.320 --> 03:32:44.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Sorry, pardon, Mr. Speaker, let me confirm.

asr-003521
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?

asr-003522
03:32:48.960 --> 03:32:49.300
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yes.

asr-003523
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.

asr-003524
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...

asr-003548
03:33:00.380 --> 03:33:05.100
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, who determines kung ano, kung kailan ginagamit po ang earmark funds?

asr-003549
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.

asr-003550
03:33:15.780 --> 03:33:16.260
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Tama po ba?

asr-003551
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

asr-003552
03:33:25.440 --> 03:33:27.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: gastusin for AGC, DBM po talaga

asr-003553
03:33:27.440 --> 03:33:28.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: yun, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-003554
03:33:29.060 --> 03:33:30.360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Tsaka yung ahensya na yun.

asr-003555
03:33:31.580 --> 03:33:33.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So kung may mga savings po talaga,

asr-003556
03:33:33.840 --> 03:33:35.500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: of course, diretso pupunta

asr-003557
03:33:35.500 --> 03:33:36.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: yun sa Bureau of Treasury.

asr-003558
03:33:36.880 --> 03:33:39.660
Rep. Roberto Nazal: But who determines in the Bureau of Treasury

asr-003559
03:33:39.660 --> 03:33:41.740
Rep. Roberto Nazal: kung kailan gagamitin ang alin?

asr-003560
03:33:42.000 --> 03:33:43.260
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Because ang nangyayari po,

asr-003561
03:33:44.080 --> 03:33:44.840
Rep. Roberto Nazal: earmark funds

asr-003562
03:33:44.840 --> 03:33:46.680
Rep. Roberto Nazal: which are supposedly

asr-003563
03:33:46.680 --> 03:33:49.580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: passed by law and earmarked

asr-003564
03:33:49.580 --> 03:33:51.420
Rep. Roberto Nazal: specifically for the department,

asr-003565
03:33:51.620 --> 03:33:52.580
Rep. Roberto Nazal: hindi po niya nagagamit.

asr-003566
03:33:53.120 --> 03:33:55.240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Well, unang-una, ang implementing agency

asr-003567
03:33:55.240 --> 03:33:57.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: po talaga, yung supposedly.

asr-003568
03:33:57.280 --> 03:33:59.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ngayon, kung ito po ay bad, ito po yung kondo,

asr-003569
03:33:59.600 --> 03:34:01.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pardon my simple

asr-003570
03:34:01.300 --> 03:34:03.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: illustration, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-003571
03:34:03.880 --> 03:34:05.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kung merong obligated funding

asr-003572
03:34:05.540 --> 03:34:06.380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: naman po ito,

asr-003573
03:34:07.000 --> 03:34:09.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: even if it's not automatically

asr-003574
03:34:09.040 --> 03:34:11.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: consumed by year

asr-003575
03:34:11.200 --> 03:34:13.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: because it's multi-year, hindi po na po

asr-003576
03:34:13.220 --> 03:34:15.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: bumabalik sa Treasury, it would continuously

asr-003577
03:34:15.080 --> 03:34:15.640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: be paid.

asr-003577-split-2
03:34:15.640 --> 03:34:17.520
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yes, I understand. Pero ang nangyayari po,

asr-003578
03:34:18.860 --> 03:34:19.620
Rep. Roberto Nazal: pag ginamit po

03:34:32.480 --> 03:34:35.240

03:34:40.960 --> 03:34:43.140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, again, Mr. Speaker, as to that

asr-003591
03:34:43.140 --> 03:34:44.580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: specific question,

03:34:56.280 --> 03:34:58.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I'm sorry, yung hindi nagagamit na gastusin.

asr-003600
03:34:59.140 --> 03:35:01.140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, Mr. Speaker, ang pangunahin talaga

03:35:22.040 --> 03:35:24.340
Rep. Roberto Nazal: where will we borrow from?

asr-003614
03:35:24.880 --> 03:35:27.120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, kung ginamit po natin yung pondo

03:35:34.760 --> 03:35:36.000
Rep. Roberto Nazal: for a specific purpose?

asr-003620
03:35:36.600 --> 03:35:39.040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, hindi ba DOF

Rep. Roberto Nazal: O ito, gamitin natin ito dito

03:35:43.120 --> 03:35:44.840
Rep. Roberto Nazal: kasi mas mura kaysa umutang.

03:35:46.120 --> 03:35:46.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again,

asr-003636
03:36:08.900 --> 03:36:09.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: naman po talaga yung...

asr-003637
03:36:09.540 --> 03:36:12.460
Rep. Roberto Nazal: That is not true, distinguished sponsor, because the earmarked funds

asr-003638
03:36:12.460 --> 03:36:14.100
Rep. Roberto Nazal: currently may be used

asr-003639
03:36:14.100 --> 03:36:16.760

Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you.

asr-003644
03:36:24.880 --> 03:36:27.180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker. So, ang nangyayari

asr-003645
03:36:27.180 --> 03:36:29.180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: po is hindi nga po nila nagagamit

asr-003646
03:36:29.180 --> 03:36:31.360
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yung earmarked funds nila. Even if they request

asr-003647
03:36:31.360 --> 03:36:33.160
Rep. Roberto Nazal: for funding from

asr-003648
03:36:33.160 --> 03:36:35.040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: their earmarked funds, hindi nila nagagamit

asr-003649
03:36:35.040 --> 03:36:36.000
Rep. Roberto Nazal: kasi ginagamit

asr-003650
03:36:36.000 --> 03:36:38.180
Rep. Roberto Nazal: sa ibang purpose.

asr-003651
03:36:39.000 --> 03:36:40.940
Rep. Roberto Nazal: At ang sinasabi sa kanila,

asr-003652
03:36:41.540 --> 03:36:42.740
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yan po ay reklamo ng

asr-003653
03:36:42.740 --> 03:36:44.880
Rep. Roberto Nazal: currently ng karamihan ng mga

asr-003654
03:36:44.880 --> 03:36:47.280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: departamento na hindi nila

asr-003655
03:36:47.280 --> 03:36:49.040
Rep. Roberto Nazal: nakukuha yung earmarked funds nila

asr-003656
03:36:49.040 --> 03:36:50.860
Rep. Roberto Nazal: dahil po ang sinasabi

asr-003657
03:36:50.860 --> 03:36:52.560
Rep. Roberto Nazal: fiscal space.

asr-003658
03:36:52.560 --> 03:36:54.840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, again po, DBM po talaga,

asr-003659
03:36:54.880 --> 03:36:55.920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kasi, again, may...

asr-003660
03:36:55.920 --> 03:36:58.300
Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, even if the balance is, let's say,

asr-003661
03:36:58.600 --> 03:37:00.900
Rep. Roberto Nazal: 20 billion, and they request 10 billion,

asr-003662
03:37:01.020 --> 03:37:02.500
Rep. Roberto Nazal: hindi po nabibigay sa kanila, kahit

asr-003663
03:37:02.500 --> 03:37:04.280
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yung Bureau of Fire nga po,

asr-003664
03:37:04.740 --> 03:37:06.660
Rep. Roberto Nazal: hindi raw nila makuha yung kanilang pondo.

asr-003665
03:37:07.380 --> 03:37:08.920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, Mr. Speaker, it's the

asr-003666
03:37:08.920 --> 03:37:10.900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: DBM. Kasi parang ang Department

03:37:17.060 --> 03:37:18.700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: po yung pondo na to,

asr-003671
03:37:18.780 --> 03:37:20.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nag-allocate ang DBM, at ang

asr-003672
03:37:20.740 --> 03:37:22.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: DBM po nagbibigay sa mga implementing agency.

asr-003673
03:37:22.860 --> 03:37:24.480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kung may earmarked revenue po na,

asr-003674
03:37:24.880 --> 03:37:27.000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and that particular agency, para yung

asr-003675

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa sektor na yun, again,

asr-003676
03:37:29.180 --> 03:37:31.260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang DBM po, ang importante

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para doon po itong

asr-003679
03:37:34.940 --> 03:37:35.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: earmarked revenue.

asr-003679-split-2
03:37:35.560 --> 03:37:36.960
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kaya nga po tinatanong ko,

asr-003680
03:37:37.560 --> 03:37:38.680
Rep. Roberto Nazal: kung bakit,

asr-003681
03:37:39.540 --> 03:37:40.960
Rep. Roberto Nazal: kung pinag-aaralan po... I would like to remind you,

asr-003685
03:37:48.100 --> 03:37:48.960
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yung nawawala

asr-003686
03:37:48.960 --> 03:37:51.080
Rep. Roberto Nazal: na paggamit nung Departamento,

asr-003687
03:37:51.080 --> 03:37:53.140
Rep. Roberto Nazal: kasi pag ginamit yung earmark nila,

asr-003688
03:37:53.540 --> 03:37:54.860
Rep. Roberto Nazal: hindi nila nabigay yung servisyo,

asr-003689
03:37:54.880 --> 03:37:56.120
Rep. Roberto Nazal: na yun, meron

asr-003690

03:38:05.080 --> 03:38:06.780
Rep. Roberto Nazal: For example, yung SUF. Kung

03:38:06.780 --> 03:38:08.440
Rep. Roberto Nazal: nawawala po yung free Wi-Fi, dahil

03:38:24.880 --> 03:38:27.480
Rep. Roberto Nazal: Yan lang, ganun naman po kasimple lang.

asr-003705
03:38:27.580 --> 03:38:29.220

03:38:29.220 --> 03:38:31.060
Rep. Roberto Nazal: yung responsibilidad ng DOF yan,

asr-003785
03:41:16.340 --> 03:41:17.960

asr-003786
03:41:18.320 --> 03:41:19.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I suppose it's a combination of

asr-003787
03:41:19.740 --> 03:41:21.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: BOC and BIR.

asr-003788

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ano yung respective share from

asr-003789
03:41:23.740 --> 03:41:24.980

03:41:26.980 --> 03:41:29.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 3.7 BIR, 1.1

asr-003791
03:41:29.860 --> 03:41:30.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: from BOC.

asr-003792
03:41:31.080 --> 03:41:33.120
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay, so, BIR and BOC together

asr-003793
03:41:33.120 --> 03:41:34.800
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: are therefore expected to collect

asr-003794
03:41:34.800 --> 03:41:37.100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: approximately 4.8 trillion

asr-003795
03:41:37.100 --> 03:41:39.440
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: or 92.4% of all

asr-003796
03:41:39.440 --> 03:41:41.320
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: of the total national government

asr-003797
03:41:41.320 --> 03:41:42.200

asr-003798
03:41:43.600 --> 03:41:45.280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, the fiscal program

asr-003799
03:41:45.280 --> 03:41:47.160
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: is highly dependent on the performance

asr-003800
03:41:47.160 --> 03:41:48.360
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: of these two agencies.

asr-003801

03:41:49.580 --> 03:41:51.620
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay, what economic assumptions

03:43:23.740 --> 03:43:27.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I'm also, I'm also shocked about,

asr-003839
03:43:27.460 --> 03:43:30.400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I didn't know there's a thousand

asr-003840
03:43:30.400 --> 03:43:31.620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and also in swell is a billion.

asr-003841
03:43:33.300 --> 03:43:33.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So,

asr-003842
03:43:33.780 --> 03:43:35.620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: but according to the

asr-003843
03:43:35.620 --> 03:43:37.500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: DEVDEV, we are reading the exact figure.

asr-003844
03:43:37.840 --> 03:43:39.680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, the base real

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: GDP growth rate is about

03:43:49.560 --> 03:43:51.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 5.0%.

asr-003851

asr-003852
03:43:53.740 --> 03:43:55.020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: this is in dollars,

asr-003853
03:43:56.180 --> 03:43:57.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is 70 to 90

asr-003854
03:43:57.860 --> 03:43:59.980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: per liter.

asr-003855
03:44:01.320 --> 03:44:02.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: $90 per liter.

asr-003856
03:44:03.340 --> 03:44:03.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And then,

asr-003857
03:44:03.980 --> 03:44:05.340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 364 day,

asr-003858
03:44:05.680 --> 03:44:07.120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the T-bill rate is about

asr-003859
03:44:07.120 --> 03:44:10.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 5.5%

asr-003860
03:44:10.560 --> 03:44:11.400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to 6%.

asr-003861
03:44:11.400 --> 03:44:13.840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And then, the exchange rate

asr-003862
03:44:13.840 --> 03:44:15.400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: from US to peso

asr-003863
03:44:15.400 --> 03:44:17.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is about 60 to 62,

asr-003864
03:44:18.420 --> 03:44:19.280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 62 pesos.

asr-003865
03:44:20.200 --> 03:44:21.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Again, goods exports growth is

asr-003866
03:44:21.880 --> 03:44:23.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: about 4.

asr-003867
03:44:23.740 --> 03:44:26.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: percent. And then, the goods imports growth is about 5%.

asr-003868
03:44:26.820 --> 03:44:27.700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, you are now.

asr-003869
03:44:27.760 --> 03:44:30.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, these are the macroeconomic assumptions,

asr-003870
03:44:30.220 --> 03:44:32.120
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: not just the DOF that has

asr-003871
03:44:32.120 --> 03:44:34.320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: arrived into this, but as well as other agencies.

asr-003872
03:44:34.600 --> 03:44:36.240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay. The reason why I'm asking

asr-003873
03:44:36.240 --> 03:44:37.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: is because these assumptions matter.

asr-003874
03:44:38.280 --> 03:44:39.960
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Because BIR collections respond

asr-003875
03:44:39.960 --> 03:44:41.900
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: principally to domestic income,

asr-003876
03:44:42.060 --> 03:44:43.640
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: consumption, profits, and prices.

asr-003877
03:44:44.060 --> 03:44:46.060
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: While customs revenues are

asr-003878
03:44:46.060 --> 03:44:48.480
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: also affected by import volumes,

asr-003879
03:44:48.760 --> 03:44:50.240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: commodity prices, and peso

asr-003880
03:44:50.240 --> 03:44:52.240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: value of imports.

asr-003881
03:44:53.000 --> 03:44:53.220
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now,

asr-003882
03:44:53.740 --> 03:44:54.760
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: how vulnerable

asr-003883
03:44:54.760 --> 03:44:57.480
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: is our revenue target?

asr-003884
03:44:58.100 --> 03:44:59.000
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Considering that

asr-003885
03:44:59.000 --> 03:44:59.400
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: uh,

asr-003886
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.

asr-003887
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.

asr-003888
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.

asr-003889
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.

asr-003890
03:45:49.800 --> 03:45:50.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Improving the tax policy.

asr-003891
03:45:51.340 --> 03:45:54.680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Collections from these two agencies, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003892
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,

asr-003893
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.

asr-003894
03:46:21.340 --> 03:46:24.300
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And revenues, paka yung assumption is correct.

asr-003895
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.

asr-003896
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.

asr-003897
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.

asr-003898
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.

asr-003901
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.

asr-003902
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.

asr-003903
03:47:10.600 --> 03:47:14.840
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, it's very, our budget is very vulnerable.

asr-003904
03:47:15.680 --> 03:47:19.840
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ano yung, ano ngayon yung...

asr-003905
03:47:21.340 --> 03:47:26.500
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: measures that we have to protect us from this vulnerability.

asr-003906
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

asr-003907
03:47:48.480 --> 03:47:51.020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and what are the gains in terms of the inflation,

asr-003908
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

asr-003909
03:47:54.920 --> 03:47:57.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: or dictated by our domestic local trade,

asr-003910
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.

asr-003911
03:48:01.780 --> 03:48:05.260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, again, as what the DOF is saying,

asr-003912
03:48:05.760 --> 03:48:09.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we always go back to compensate those shocks, possible shocks,

asr-003913
03:48:09.500 --> 03:48:12.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: by way of improving the collection, tax collection,

asr-003914
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...

asr-003915
03:48:20.180 --> 03:48:20.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and the Commission.

asr-003916
03:48:21.340 --> 03:48:22.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: BIR, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-003917
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,

asr-003918
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

asr-003919
03:48:31.560 --> 03:48:36.980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: in order to compensate these losses by these shocks,

asr-003920
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.

asr-003921
03:48:41.940 --> 03:48:45.600
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Mr. Speaker, Good Sponsor, the reason why I'm asking

asr-003922
03:48:45.600 --> 03:48:50.440
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: is because we are asking for a much higher national budget.

asr-003923
03:48:51.340 --> 03:48:53.200
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: The budget proposal is 7.2 billion.

asr-003924
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.

asr-003925
03:49:01.020 --> 03:49:04.480
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: For 2027, the assumptions follow a period

asr-003926
03:49:04.480 --> 03:49:07.660
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: which economic growth had already slowed.

asr-003927
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,

asr-003928
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.

asr-003929
03:49:18.960 --> 03:49:19.780
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So,

asr-003930
03:49:21.340 --> 03:49:23.760
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: if you compare that, from 2024,

asr-003931
03:49:24.360 --> 03:49:26.520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 2024, it's almost half already.

asr-003932
03:49:27.020 --> 03:49:30.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Considering also that PSA also reported that gross capital formation

asr-003933
03:49:30.940 --> 03:49:36.420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: contracted by 9.2% in the second quarter,

asr-003934
03:49:36.600 --> 03:49:40.020
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: while the industry sector contracted by 2.4%.

asr-003935
03:49:40.860 --> 03:49:43.020
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: How household consumption...

asr-003936
03:49:43.020 --> 03:49:49.520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: How household consumption, the economy's principal demand component,

asr-003937
03:49:49.520 --> 03:49:50.520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: because we have a...

asr-003938
03:49:51.340 --> 03:49:55.520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Consumption economy grew by only 2.8%.

asr-003939
03:49:55.520 --> 03:50:00.020
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, parang, with this economic backdrop,

asr-003940
03:50:00.220 --> 03:50:02.280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: parang, and yung projection natin,

asr-003941
03:50:02.960 --> 03:50:04.300
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the parameters that we used,

asr-003942
03:50:05.820 --> 03:50:08.400
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: sigura parang malamang hindi natin maaabot itong

asr-003943
03:50:08.400 --> 03:50:13.480
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 5.2 trillion na revenue target natin.

asr-003944
03:50:13.580 --> 03:50:16.860
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, what concrete economic activity

asr-003945
03:50:16.860 --> 03:50:20.300
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: will produce the acceleration assumed

asr-003946
03:50:20.300 --> 03:50:21.060
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: for the second half of 2026?

asr-003947
03:50:21.060 --> 03:50:23.560
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: for the second half of 2026?

asr-003948
03:50:24.080 --> 03:50:28.280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And then propel the country to further accelerate

asr-003949
03:50:28.280 --> 03:50:32.840
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: to 5.6% growth in 2027?

asr-003950
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,

asr-003951
03:50:40.000 --> 03:50:43.840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the possible taxes that we can actually generate from,

asr-003952
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

asr-003953
03:50:47.840 --> 03:50:50.340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and be aggressive about the revenue.

asr-003954
03:50:51.060 --> 03:50:54.060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and be aggressive about the revenue collection, Mr. Speaker.

asr-003955
03:50:54.060 --> 03:50:58.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Meaning to say, there are about how many identified assets

asr-003956
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.

asr-003957
03:51:03.300 --> 03:51:08.680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: This would also to compensate the much needed growth

asr-003958
03:51:08.680 --> 03:51:10.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that we are projecting in the coming years.

asr-003959
03:51:11.260 --> 03:51:15.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, Mr. Speaker, we have the asset,

asr-003960
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

asr-003961
03:51:20.420 --> 03:51:20.900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: o mas

asr-003969
03:51:21.420 --> 03:51:23.240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: malaki po yung ma-generate natin na

asr-003970
03:51:23.240 --> 03:51:25.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: revenue.

asr-003971
03:51:25.600 --> 03:51:27.480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Apart from yung broadening the

asr-003972
03:51:27.480 --> 03:51:28.980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: tax-based collection.

asr-003973
03:51:29.860 --> 03:51:31.420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mayroon pong asset yung mile long.

asr-003974
03:51:31.560 --> 03:51:33.460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: This is 22 square meters in Legazpi

asr-003975
03:51:33.460 --> 03:51:34.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Village, which

asr-003976
03:51:34.720 --> 03:51:37.320
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the proceeds would, it's about

asr-003977
03:51:37.320 --> 03:51:39.000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 10.11,

asr-003978
03:51:39.180 --> 03:51:40.680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 111 billion pesos.

asr-003979
03:51:41.640 --> 03:51:43.380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Also, the FTI

asr-003980
03:51:43.380 --> 03:51:45.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to privatize also. This is

asr-003981
03:51:45.160 --> 03:51:47.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 110 square meters

asr-003982
03:51:47.520 --> 03:51:48.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to be privatized.

asr-003983
03:51:49.560 --> 03:51:50.700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And this is about 22

asr-003984
03:51:50.700 --> 03:51:53.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: .808

asr-003985
03:51:53.080 --> 03:51:53.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: million

asr-003986
03:51:53.940 --> 03:51:56.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pesos.

asr-003987
03:51:57.140 --> 03:51:59.460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And there are also the shares of our SLEX.

asr-003988
03:52:00.100 --> 03:52:01.280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 20% of equity,

asr-003989
03:52:01.480 --> 03:52:01.980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: which is about

asr-003990
03:52:01.980 --> 03:52:05.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 724,

asr-003991
03:52:05.080 --> 03:52:06.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 995 shares.

asr-003992
03:52:06.960 --> 03:52:08.700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So that's roughly about additional

asr-003993
03:52:08.700 --> 03:52:10.960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 34.21. I'm sorry,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 24

asr-003995
03:52:11.560 --> 03:52:15.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 802 million in addition to

asr-003996
03:52:15.160 --> 03:52:17.060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the possible equity

asr-003997
03:52:17.060 --> 03:52:18.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: shares that we will be

asr-003998

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: getting. And as

asr-003999
03:52:20.680 --> 03:52:22.660
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: well as, mayroon pong share,

asr-004000
03:52:22.780 --> 03:52:24.960
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: equity share from SEMIRARA,

asr-004001
03:52:25.780 --> 03:52:26.180

asr-004002
03:52:26.180 --> 03:52:28.760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 3.42% of equity.

asr-004003
03:52:28.940 --> 03:52:30.060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: That's roughly about

asr-004004
03:52:30.060 --> 03:52:33.020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 145,609

asr-004005
03:52:33.020 --> 03:52:35.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pesos, Mr. Speaker.

asr-004006
03:52:35.180 --> 03:52:36.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So these are some of the things

asr-004007
03:52:36.720 --> 03:52:38.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that we also, that the OF intends

asr-004008
03:52:38.940 --> 03:52:40.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: also to aggressively

asr-004009
03:52:40.740 --> 03:52:42.700
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: source out

asr-004010
03:52:42.700 --> 03:52:44.420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: from the revenue

asr-004011
03:52:44.420 --> 03:52:46.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that we will get, but the non-taxed revenue

asr-004012

asr-004068

asr-004071
03:54:41.820 --> 03:54:43.800
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: in a more healthier manner, dahil

asr-004083
03:55:06.100 --> 03:55:08.100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: point. Hindi pa rin

asr-004138
03:56:59.940 --> 03:57:01.940

asr-004139
03:57:01.940 --> 03:57:03.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 400 billion. If the economic

asr-004142
03:57:07.940 --> 03:57:09.940

asr-004146
03:57:15.940 --> 03:57:17.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: na yung ating

asr-004147
03:57:17.940 --> 03:57:19.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: budget proposal,

asr-004148
03:57:19.940 --> 03:57:21.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: ang kaya lang natin

asr-004149
03:57:21.940 --> 03:57:23.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: na i-generate na

asr-004150
03:57:23.940 --> 03:57:25.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: revenue is 5.2.

asr-004151
03:57:25.940 --> 03:57:27.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, short na kagad tayo ng 2 billion.

asr-004152
03:57:27.940 --> 03:57:29.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pagka yung 5.2 pa,

asr-004153
03:57:29.940 --> 03:57:31.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: hindi ma-iabot, hindi

asr-004154
03:57:31.940 --> 03:57:33.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: natin ma-achieve, mas malaking problema.

asr-004155
03:57:35.940 --> 03:57:37.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah, we understand, Mr. Speaker.

asr-004156
03:57:37.940 --> 03:57:39.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Actually, Mr. Speaker, this is just

asr-004157
03:57:39.940 --> 03:57:41.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: an ongoing assessment kasi we're trying to

asr-004158
03:57:41.940 --> 03:57:43.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: project for the possible, based

asr-004159
03:57:43.940 --> 03:57:45.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: on the NEP talaga, may meron talagang kulang.

asr-004160
03:57:45.940 --> 03:57:47.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But again, apart from

asr-004161
03:57:47.940 --> 03:57:49.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the solution that

asr-004162
03:57:49.940 --> 03:57:51.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we are, that the DOF

asr-004163
03:57:51.940 --> 03:57:53.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: is trying to formulate, kasi

asr-004164
03:57:53.940 --> 03:57:55.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: quarterly, nag-me-meet naman po, again,

asr-004165
03:57:55.940 --> 03:57:57.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: this is not only a DOF's

asr-004166
03:57:57.940 --> 03:57:59.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: concern, it also involves our other

asr-004167
03:57:59.940 --> 03:58:01.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: agencies involved in fiscal, in

asr-004168
03:58:01.940 --> 03:58:03.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: managing our fiscal situation,

asr-004169
03:58:03.940 --> 03:58:05.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker. So, the DBCC meets

asr-004170
03:58:05.940 --> 03:58:07.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: quarterly naman po to discuss

asr-004171
03:58:07.940 --> 03:58:09.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: about how to

asr-004172
03:58:09.940 --> 03:58:11.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: really assist

asr-004173
03:58:11.940 --> 03:58:13.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and make sure

asr-004174
03:58:13.940 --> 03:58:15.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that the macroeconomic assumptions

asr-004175
03:58:15.940 --> 03:58:17.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: will be the targets, will be

asr-004176
03:58:17.940 --> 03:58:19.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: achieved, and will be, ano,

asr-004177
03:58:19.940 --> 03:58:21.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: can be

asr-004178
03:58:21.940 --> 03:58:23.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: obtained, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-004179
03:58:23.940 --> 03:58:25.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, as I've mentioned, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor,

asr-004180
03:58:25.940 --> 03:58:27.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: based on the macro assumptions, meron nga po tayong

asr-004181
03:58:27.940 --> 03:58:29.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: possible

asr-004182
03:58:29.940 --> 03:58:31.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na mga incomes

asr-004183
03:58:33.940 --> 03:58:35.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na mga po pwede po nating,

asr-004184
03:58:35.940 --> 03:58:37.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: anibawa, yung

asr-004185
03:58:37.940 --> 03:58:39.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: growth rate po, Mr. Speaker, as I've cited

asr-004186
03:58:39.940 --> 03:58:41.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: earlier po. So, regularly po

asr-004187
03:58:41.940 --> 03:58:43.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nag-me-meet ang ating DBCC para

asr-004188
03:58:43.940 --> 03:58:45.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: makita kung ano yung

asr-004189
03:58:45.940 --> 03:58:47.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: achievable dito po sa mga micro

asr-004190
03:58:47.940 --> 03:58:49.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: economic assumptions po natin

asr-004191
03:58:49.940 --> 03:58:51.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para po doon sa

asr-004192
03:58:51.940 --> 03:58:53.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kinakailangan pang

asr-004193
03:58:53.940 --> 03:58:55.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pagkunan ng revenue

asr-004194
03:58:55.940 --> 03:58:57.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para ma-reach po natin yung

asr-004195
03:58:57.940 --> 03:58:59.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: necessary expenditures ng ating government

asr-004196
03:58:59.940 --> 03:59:01.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as versus doon sa actual

asr-004197
03:59:01.940 --> 03:59:03.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: collection po natin na nakukuha,

asr-004198
03:59:03.740 --> 03:59:04.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-004198-split-2
03:59:04.780 --> 03:59:05.280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay,

asr-004199
03:59:05.280 --> 03:59:07.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, ito

asr-004200
03:59:07.940 --> 03:59:09.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: kasi yung ano, and this is where I'm coming from,

asr-004201
03:59:09.940 --> 03:59:11.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: for 2027 government

asr-004202
03:59:11.940 --> 03:59:13.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: presently programs

asr-004203
03:59:13.940 --> 03:59:15.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 5.2 trillion

asr-004204
03:59:15.940 --> 03:59:17.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: revenues, as mentioned earlier,

asr-004205
03:59:17.940 --> 03:59:19.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: pero meron tayong disbursements na

asr-004206
03:59:19.940 --> 03:59:21.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 6.9 trillion.

asr-004207
03:59:21.940 --> 03:59:23.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, yun pa lang, there would be a budget

asr-004208
03:59:23.940 --> 03:59:25.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: deficit of 1.69

asr-004209
03:59:25.940 --> 03:59:27.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: trillion.

asr-004210
03:59:27.940 --> 03:59:29.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: That this deficit is already 5.1

asr-004211
03:59:29.940 --> 03:59:31.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: of projected GDP.

asr-004212
03:59:31.940 --> 03:59:33.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Weak growth creates pressure

asr-004213
03:59:33.940 --> 03:59:35.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: from both directions. First,

asr-004214
03:59:35.940 --> 03:59:37.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: revenues can underperform. Second,

asr-004215
03:59:37.940 --> 03:59:39.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the denominator to GDP

asr-004216
03:59:39.940 --> 03:59:41.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: is smaller than expected.

asr-004217
03:59:41.940 --> 03:59:43.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, what will happen to the

asr-004218
03:59:43.940 --> 03:59:45.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: expenditure program of the

asr-004219
03:59:45.940 --> 03:59:47.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: government when the

asr-004220
03:59:47.940 --> 03:59:49.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: macro assumptions which we are using

asr-004221
03:59:49.940 --> 03:59:51.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: fails?

asr-004222
03:59:51.940 --> 03:59:53.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, do we

asr-004223
03:59:53.940 --> 03:59:55.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: impose new taxes?

asr-004224
03:59:55.940 --> 03:59:57.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Do we cut on government

asr-004225
03:59:57.940 --> 03:59:59.940
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: spending? So, anong mga

asr-004227
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?

asr-004228
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.

asr-004229
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.

asr-004230
04:00:37.920 --> 04:00:41.180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And apart from that, of course, baka mag-ano tayo.

asr-004231
04:00:41.880 --> 04:00:43.920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yung ano po, yung...

asr-004232
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.

asr-004233
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.

asr-004234
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...

asr-004235
04:01:01.700 --> 04:01:06.040
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Well, isa na natin, 2.53 billion. Malit lang ito.

asr-004236
04:01:06.700 --> 04:01:10.440
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kahit na... How much more can we increase this?

asr-004237
04:01:11.060 --> 04:01:13.880
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Yung privatization natin, how much more would it...

asr-004238
04:01:13.880 --> 04:01:15.180
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Would it be able to generate?

asr-004239
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.

asr-004240
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,

asr-004241
04:01:33.900 --> 04:01:36.680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: talagang mag-incur po tayo into additional borrowing.

asr-004242
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...

asr-004243
04:01:43.720 --> 04:01:46.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we expected versus the revenue that we collect.

asr-004244
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.

asr-004245
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

asr-004246
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

asr-004247
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%

asr-004248
04:02:11.140 --> 04:02:13.360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para to compensate with the much-needed...

asr-004249
04:02:13.720 --> 04:02:17.340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: much-needed po na revenue na para ma...

asr-004250
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.

asr-004251
04:02:24.500 --> 04:02:26.120
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Mr. Speaker, good sponsor.

asr-004252
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,

asr-004253
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...

asr-004254
04:02:43.720 --> 04:02:47.120
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: a lower budget proposal?

asr-004255
04:02:47.120 --> 04:02:49.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Spending, spending. Again, Mr. Speaker...

asr-004256
04:02:49.440 --> 04:02:55.320
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Kasi baka masyado tayong ma-off sa ating target.

asr-004257
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.

asr-004258
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.

asr-004259
04:03:09.100 --> 04:03:12.100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 7.2 trillion proposal, 5.2...

asr-004260
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.

asr-004261
04:03:22.420 --> 04:03:24.260
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, may kulang tayong 2 billion.

asr-004262
04:03:25.460 --> 04:03:29.460
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now, how do we plan to bridge this gap?

asr-004263
04:03:30.540 --> 04:03:31.640
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: We will secure a loan.

asr-004264
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...

asr-004265
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.

asr-004266
04:03:43.720 --> 04:03:44.580
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Would that be correct?

asr-004267
04:03:45.480 --> 04:03:46.680
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Let me go back to the...

asr-004268
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.

asr-004269
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,

asr-004270
04:03:55.240 --> 04:03:59.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: there's really that intention to be aggressive about...

asr-004271
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...

asr-004272
04:04:02.780 --> 04:04:07.640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We need to contemplate on and actually get.

asr-004273
04:04:08.200 --> 04:04:09.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I mean, bangutang.

asr-004274
04:04:09.300 --> 04:04:12.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero hindi naman po lahat nung sinasabing...

asr-004275
04:04:13.720 --> 04:04:18.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Medyo magkaroon ng austerity measure ang spending ng government.

asr-004276
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.

asr-004277
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.

asr-004278
04:04:32.940 --> 04:04:34.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I mean, spending, government spending.

asr-004279
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...

asr-004280
04:04:43.720 --> 04:04:46.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the entire economic activity of the country.

asr-004281
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.

asr-004282
04:04:53.700 --> 04:04:58.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, public spending should be encouraged.

asr-004283
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,

asr-004284
04:05:03.780 --> 04:05:05.240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang pag-implementan ng mga programa.

asr-004285
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,

asr-004286
04:05:11.060 --> 04:05:13.240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: that we do not intend to secure a loan.

asr-004287
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.

asr-004288
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?

asr-004289
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,

asr-004290
04:05:41.280 --> 04:05:43.480
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 5.2 trillion projected revenues.

asr-004291
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.

asr-004292
04:05:51.200 --> 04:05:54.580
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Gross borrowing, ito yung utangin natin, 3.3 trillion.

asr-004293
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?

asr-004294
04:06:06.720 --> 04:06:12.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Okay. Ito po ang 1.34 trillion po.

asr-004295
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.

asr-004296
04:06:20.720 --> 04:06:22.620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ito po yung tinatanong yung amortization.

asr-004297
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.

asr-004298
04:06:33.120 --> 04:06:34.740
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So, that's about how much?

asr-004299
04:06:35.500 --> 04:06:37.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: You want the total, Mr. Speaker, Your Honor?

asr-004300
04:06:37.480 --> 04:06:39.600
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ito ah, if we have our figures correct.

asr-004301
04:06:39.600 --> 04:06:41.600
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ewan ko, bakit [unclear] yung figures natin?

asr-004302
04:06:41.640 --> 04:06:43.260
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Principal amortization is

asr-004303
04:06:43.260 --> 04:06:44.880
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 1.59 trillion.

asr-004304
04:06:45.500 --> 04:06:46.080
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Is that correct?

asr-004305
04:06:46.340 --> 04:06:47.480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 1.34

asr-004306
04:06:47.480 --> 04:06:50.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Plus 254 billion.

asr-004307
04:06:50.900 --> 04:06:51.460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, pareho po.

asr-004308
04:06:51.760 --> 04:06:54.460
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Then, magkano naman for net financing?

asr-004309
04:06:55.720 --> 04:06:58.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: 1.69 trillion pesos po.

asr-004310
04:06:58.480 --> 04:06:59.780
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay. So, roughly,

asr-004311
04:07:01.360 --> 04:07:01.880
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: roughly,

asr-004312
04:07:03.400 --> 04:07:04.420
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: doon sa ating,

asr-004313
04:07:04.420 --> 04:07:08.720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: sa ating ihirami na pera,

asr-004314
04:07:10.480 --> 04:07:13.620
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: halos lahat nito magagamit natin for,

asr-004315
04:07:13.720 --> 04:07:18.720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: debt servicing and principal amortization.

asr-004316
04:07:18.720 --> 04:07:21.620
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Well, financing and amortization, doon maubos.

asr-004317
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.

asr-004318
04:07:28.840 --> 04:07:32.120
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Sabi mo nga, importante rin yung government spending.

asr-004319
04:07:32.620 --> 04:07:36.980
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: But, the implications of government consumption,

asr-004320
04:07:37.480 --> 04:07:43.700
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: assuming that there would be a temporary increase in government spending,

asr-004321
04:07:43.720 --> 04:07:50.720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: we cannot rely on it wholly to support yung ating GDP.

asr-004322
04:07:51.020 --> 04:07:51.520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Because yung,

asr-004323
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.

asr-004324
04:07:58.820 --> 04:07:59.720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Through substantial investment.

asr-004325
04:08:00.580 --> 04:08:01.220
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Coming from,

asr-004326
04:08:01.340 --> 04:08:03.740
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: from other sources.

asr-004327
04:08:03.920 --> 04:08:05.720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Hindi pwede yung gobyerno lang ang kumikita.

asr-004328
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.

asr-004329
04:08:12.720 --> 04:08:13.080
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: We are,

asr-004330
04:08:13.080 --> 04:08:13.700
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: we are,

asr-004331
04:08:13.720 --> 04:08:15.660
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: we are a consumption-driven economy.

asr-004332
04:08:15.960 --> 04:08:18.460
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: And pagka yung gobyerno lang ang gumagastos,

asr-004333
04:08:19.020 --> 04:08:24.260
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: it doesn't really improve yung ating situation.

asr-004334
04:08:24.480 --> 04:08:25.720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Ang concern ko ah,

asr-004335
04:08:27.720 --> 04:08:28.100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: we will,

asr-004336
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.

asr-004337
04:08:34.580 --> 04:08:37.100
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: The problem with the slower GDP growth is,

asr-004338
04:08:37.760 --> 04:08:38.500
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: matematical,

asr-004339
04:08:38.640 --> 04:08:40.320
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the debt stock can continue increasing

asr-004340
04:08:40.320 --> 04:08:43.060
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: while the economy against which that debt is measured,

asr-004341
04:08:43.060 --> 04:08:44.400
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: grows more slowly.

asr-004342
04:08:45.100 --> 04:08:50.160
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: So the government's fiscal strategy assumes eventual consolidation.

asr-004343
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,

asr-004344
04:08:55.640 --> 04:08:57.180
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: 5.1 in 2027,

asr-004345
04:08:57.860 --> 04:09:00.140
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: and then 3.5 by 2030.

asr-004346
04:09:00.140 --> 04:09:00.640
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Pero,

asr-004347
04:09:01.080 --> 04:09:04.640
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: how do we concretely achieve this?

asr-004348
04:09:05.980 --> 04:09:07.060
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: These projections?

asr-004349
04:09:07.980 --> 04:09:08.640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ah, well,

asr-004350
04:09:08.760 --> 04:09:09.180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: well,

asr-004351
04:09:09.760 --> 04:09:11.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang siyang position po talaga,

asr-004352
04:09:11.880 --> 04:09:12.600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang position po,

asr-004353
04:09:12.600 --> 04:09:13.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker,

asr-004354
04:09:13.060 --> 04:09:14.060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng DOF is that

asr-004355
04:09:14.060 --> 04:09:17.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we really need to get to be more

asr-004356
04:09:17.200 --> 04:09:20.240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: into government spending

asr-004357
04:09:20.240 --> 04:09:24.140
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para po matulungan ang ating bansa

asr-004358
04:09:24.140 --> 04:09:25.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa paglago po ng ekonomiya.

asr-004359
04:09:26.620 --> 04:09:28.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think just to specifically cite just an example,

asr-004360
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,

asr-004361
04:09:34.040 --> 04:09:34.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: alimbawa sa per,

asr-004362
04:09:35.040 --> 04:09:36.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: per, ano,

asr-004363
04:09:36.700 --> 04:09:37.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: per agencies,

asr-004364
04:09:37.760 --> 04:09:40.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: para po makapag-boost po ng local economy.

asr-004365
04:09:40.680 --> 04:09:41.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I think in the macro,

asr-004366
04:09:43.060 --> 04:09:44.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: macro analysis of things,

asr-004367
04:09:44.920 --> 04:09:45.020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: no,

asr-004368
04:09:45.180 --> 04:09:47.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: when it comes to boosting the local trade is

asr-004369
04:09:47.200 --> 04:09:50.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: to be more aggressive in government spending.

asr-004370
04:09:50.320 --> 04:09:51.620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: At nakita naman po datin yan,

asr-004371
04:09:51.760 --> 04:09:52.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: based on the macro assumption,

asr-004372
04:09:53.520 --> 04:09:54.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: as we get the target,

asr-004373
04:09:54.720 --> 04:09:57.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: bumaba ba naman po yung ating debt to GDP,

asr-004374
04:09:58.140 --> 04:09:58.240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: no,

asr-004375
04:09:58.280 --> 04:09:58.900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: over the years.

asr-004376
04:09:58.900 --> 04:09:59.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So,

asr-004377
04:09:59.600 --> 04:10:00.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we hope that,

asr-004378
04:10:00.680 --> 04:10:00.920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: again,

asr-004379
04:10:01.160 --> 04:10:03.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kung hindi po natin ito gagastusin

asr-004380
04:10:03.860 --> 04:10:05.500
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: o hindi gagastus ng mas aggressive,

asr-004381
04:10:06.080 --> 04:10:07.900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang paniwala po ng ating

asr-004382
04:10:08.380 --> 04:10:09.660
Deputy Speaker Yasser Alonto Balindong: Please wind up,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: mas hindi po,

asr-004387
04:10:12.780 --> 04:10:14.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: mag-slow down po nga ang ating growth

asr-004388
04:10:14.540 --> 04:10:17.280
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at hindi po natin masosolve talaga yung pinaka-problema,

asr-004389
04:10:17.320 --> 04:10:18.340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: which is to bring down

asr-004390
04:10:18.340 --> 04:10:20.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the debt to GDP,

asr-004391
04:10:21.080 --> 04:10:21.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker,

asr-004392
04:10:21.600 --> 04:10:21.920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Your Honor.

04:10:22.300 --> 04:10:22.800
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay, but,

asr-004399
04:10:32.380 --> 04:10:36.820
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: actually is a cautionary tale for us

asr-004400
04:10:36.820 --> 04:10:39.560
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: that we have to be more prudent

asr-004401
04:10:39.560 --> 04:10:41.760
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: in our expenditure program

asr-004402
04:10:41.760 --> 04:10:42.720
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: and in the proportionality,

asr-004403
04:10:42.780 --> 04:10:44.540
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: in the proposed budget that we will approve.

asr-004404
04:10:44.540 --> 04:10:48.280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Considering that the not so rosy economic outlook,

asr-004405
04:10:48.280 --> 04:10:49.840
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: kaya nga sinasabi ko,

asr-004406
04:10:50.380 --> 04:10:53.780
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: maybe we should act more prudently.

asr-004407
04:10:54.300 --> 04:10:57.240
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay lang naman talaga to run a budget deficit.

asr-004408
04:10:57.780 --> 04:10:59.280
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Okay lang to secure loans.

asr-004409
04:10:59.420 --> 04:11:00.080
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: But, for example,

asr-004410
04:11:00.220 --> 04:11:01.260
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: the loan that we secured,

asr-004411
04:11:01.820 --> 04:11:02.460
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: as I mentioned,

asr-004412
04:11:03.560 --> 04:11:06.260
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: a big portion of it will fall to debt servicing,

asr-004413
04:11:06.260 --> 04:11:07.260
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: not really to,

asr-004414
04:11:09.200 --> 04:11:11.540
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: on projects that will help pump prime the economy,

asr-004415
04:11:11.940 --> 04:11:12.200
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: that will,

asr-004416
04:11:12.780 --> 04:11:14.080
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: supposedly,

asr-004417
04:11:14.640 --> 04:11:15.740
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: kung doon mapupunta,

asr-004418
04:11:15.860 --> 04:11:16.980
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: would be an additional,

asr-004419
04:11:17.280 --> 04:11:19.460
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: maybe a source of revenues for our country.

asr-004420
04:11:20.100 --> 04:11:20.780
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: Now, ito lang po,

asr-004421
04:11:20.840 --> 04:11:21.520
Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay: idadagdag ko.

asr-004561
04:18:19.060 --> 04:18:22.940
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, meron po bang datos ang DOF?

asr-004562
04:18:22.940 --> 04:18:24.740
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Sa magkano na po yung nag-disbursement?

asr-004563
04:18:24.820 --> 04:18:29.480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Sa magkano na po yung nag-disbursed ng ahensya simula noong nagkaroon ng People's Survival Fund?

asr-004564
04:18:30.740 --> 04:18:37.880
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Yun na po, cumulative po yun eh. Starting from 2020.

asr-004565
04:18:49.400 --> 04:18:52.720
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So to correct, cumulative po ito. So since existence…

asr-004566
04:18:52.720 --> 04:18:53.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes,

asr-004567
04:18:53.220 --> 04:18:53.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: we adopt

asr-004568
04:18:53.860 --> 04:19:03.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: the previous releases. So since 2018, meron pong P29,087,000.

asr-004569
04:19:05.580 --> 04:19:10.180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yun po yung start. We can just provide you po the data.

asr-004570
04:19:11.540 --> 04:19:20.960
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Tingin po tayo ng kopya ng report, Mr. Speaker, good sponsor, kung magkano po yung nag-disbursed per year at anong porsyento po yung nag-disbursed kada taon.

asr-004571
04:19:21.120 --> 04:19:21.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes po.

asr-004572
04:19:21.440 --> 04:19:21.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes po.

asr-004573
04:19:21.540 --> 04:19:21.900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes po.

asr-004574
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?

asr-004575
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.

asr-004576
04:19:45.040 --> 04:19:46.620
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, that's correct po, Mrs. Speaker.

asr-004577
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?

asr-004578
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.

asr-004579
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?

asr-004580
04:20:18.960 --> 04:20:19.480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, that's correct.

asr-004581
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.

asr-004582
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?

asr-004583
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.

asr-004584
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?

asr-004585
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.

asr-004586
04:21:13.520 --> 04:21:14.200
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Okay.

asr-004587
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?

asr-004587-split-2
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.

asr-004588
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.

asr-004589
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.

asr-004590
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.

asr-004591
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.

asr-004592
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,

asr-004593
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

asr-004594
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.

asr-004595
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?

asr-004596
04:23:19.480 --> 04:23:21.480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 568 million lang yung na-disburst niya.

asr-004597
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.

asr-004598
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.

asr-004599
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.

asr-004600
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.

asr-004601
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.

asr-004602
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.

asr-004603
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.

asr-004604
04:24:18.000 --> 04:24:18.980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: request

asr-004605
04:24:18.980 --> 04:24:19.480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: for

asr-004606
04:24:19.480 --> 04:24:21.640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: such funding. Doon naman po

asr-004607
04:24:21.640 --> 04:24:23.480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: nakadepende ito ang releases

asr-004608
04:24:23.480 --> 04:24:25.360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at yung utilization ng pondo na ito.

asr-004609
04:24:25.920 --> 04:24:27.280
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

asr-004610
04:24:27.620 --> 04:24:29.340
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: natutuwa po tayo na marinig yun.

asr-004611
04:24:29.940 --> 04:24:31.840
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ngunit, kung itatambal

asr-004612
04:24:31.840 --> 04:24:33.200

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang reports po nila

asr-004616
04:24:39.020 --> 04:24:41.100
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ay ang very

asr-004617
04:24:41.100 --> 04:24:43.080
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: stringent yung requirements for project

asr-004618
04:24:43.080 --> 04:24:45.400
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: proposals. It needs extensive

asr-004619
04:24:45.400 --> 04:24:46.640
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: technical studies

asr-004620
04:24:46.640 --> 04:24:48.920
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and overwhelming documentary compliance

asr-004621
04:24:49.480 --> 04:24:51.620
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: effectively locking out poor

asr-004622
04:24:51.620 --> 04:24:53.580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: municipalities and people's

asr-004623
04:24:53.580 --> 04:24:55.580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: organizations that lack the

asr-004624
04:24:55.580 --> 04:24:57.480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: capacity to hire technical

asr-004625
04:24:57.480 --> 04:24:59.600
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: consultants. Kung hindi po natin

04:24:59.600 --> 04:25:01.020
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: nagagamit yung

asr-004627
04:25:01.020 --> 04:25:03.640

asr-004629
04:25:05.400 --> 04:25:06.600

asr-004630
04:25:06.600 --> 04:25:09.180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ay natutulog lang yung

asr-004631
04:25:09.180 --> 04:25:11.300
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pondo na ito na sana po

asr-004632
04:25:11.300 --> 04:25:12.960

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: adaptation, mitigation strategies

asr-004635
04:25:17.360 --> 04:25:19.240

asr-004636
04:25:19.240 --> 04:25:19.460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: sana.

asr-004637
04:25:19.480 --> 04:25:21.420
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Hindi mabaha ang mga iba't-ibang

asr-004638
04:25:21.420 --> 04:25:23.900
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: komunidad na mas maraming

asr-004639
04:25:23.900 --> 04:25:25.180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: kabataan ang

04:25:27.520 --> 04:25:29.580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: climate change at kung ano man pong

asr-004642
04:25:29.580 --> 04:25:31.480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: mga iba't-ibang endeavors pwede natin

asr-004643
04:25:31.480 --> 04:25:33.320

04:25:35.080 --> 04:25:37.600

asr-004646
04:25:38.060 --> 04:25:39.720
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, siguro ang tanong natin,

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na makapag-apply? Paano po nito

asr-004652
04:25:49.480 --> 04:25:51.500

asr-004766
04:30:00.000 --> 04:30:04.540
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang kinatawan na ito at the proper time and avenue.

asr-004767
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,

asr-004768
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.

asr-004769
04:30:16.520 --> 04:30:21.440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Meron tayong commitments sa Paris Agreement, gusto natin ma-actualize sila,

asr-004770
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,

asr-004771
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

asr-004772
04:30:31.340 --> 04:30:35.620
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: dahil po it will end up in paperwork hell.

asr-004773
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,

asr-004774
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.

asr-004775
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,

asr-004776
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,

asr-004777
04:31:03.700 --> 04:31:05.420
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: papalapit na ang Super El Niño.

asr-004778
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

asr-004779
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

asr-004780
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

asr-004781
04:31:23.760 --> 04:31:24.460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: through a simplified

asr-004785
04:31:24.800 --> 04:31:26.860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: application process and project cycle.

asr-004786
04:31:27.440 --> 04:31:30.440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Fifth and sixth class municipalities in particular,

asr-004787
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,

asr-004788
04:31:35.380 --> 04:31:39.160
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: especially in implementing projects such as rainwater harvesting,

asr-004789
04:31:39.660 --> 04:31:42.560
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: crop diversification, and watershed management.

asr-004790
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.

asr-004791
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

asr-004792
04:31:52.500 --> 04:31:56.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng kinatawan ng kabataan party list.

asr-004793
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

asr-004794
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,

asr-004795
04:32:09.520 --> 04:32:10.340
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-004796
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

asr-004797
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

asr-004798
04:32:21.260 --> 04:32:22.380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ngangailangan.

asr-004799
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

asr-004800
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.

asr-004801
04:32:32.240 --> 04:32:33.940
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Salamat po, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.

asr-004802
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.

asr-004803
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

asr-004804
04:32:47.800 --> 04:32:52.060
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: some 253, if I remember correctly,

asr-004805
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.

asr-004806
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?

asr-004807
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.

asr-004808
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.

asr-004809
04:34:08.820 --> 04:34:13.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pinapabalik po nila ito sa country of origin, Mr. Speaker.

asr-004810
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.

asr-004811
04:34:38.820 --> 04:34:40.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And it sends them back to the country of origin.

asr-004812
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?

asr-004813
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.

asr-004814
04:35:07.500 --> 04:35:08.760
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At under the Basel...

asr-004815
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.

asr-004816
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.

asr-004817
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.

asr-004818
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?

asr-004819
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.

asr-004820
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,

asr-004821
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.

asr-004822
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.

asr-004823
04:36:37.800 --> 04:36:38.000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes.

asr-004824
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,

asr-004825
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.

asr-004826
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.

asr-004827
04:37:11.780 --> 04:37:14.240
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Okay, maraming salamat, Madam Speaker, good sponsor.

asr-004828
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.

asr-004829
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.

asr-004830
04:37:35.540 --> 04:37:38.360
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And meron din po isa pa na kinumpirma.

asr-004831
04:37:38.820 --> 04:37:43.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng August 22 na suspected electronic waste.

asr-004832
04:37:44.080 --> 04:37:45.740
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And as far as we know, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

asr-004833
04:37:45.820 --> 04:37:50.380
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: wala pang inilalabas na report para sa ikalawang shipment na pinatigil.

asr-004834
04:37:50.860 --> 04:37:54.260
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Maari po bang malaman ano yung findings

asr-004835
04:37:54.260 --> 04:37:58.900
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng other interceptions na ginawa ng Bureau of Customs?

asr-004836
04:37:59.300 --> 04:38:00.980
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At pwede po bang ikumpirma,

asr-004837
04:38:01.380 --> 04:38:04.660
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: electronic waste po ba ang laman ng shipments na ito?

asr-004838
04:38:04.940 --> 04:38:06.080
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At galing sa anong bansa?

asr-004839
04:38:08.820 --> 04:38:38.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ...

asr-004840
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.

asr-004841
04:38:49.820 --> 04:38:52.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero when they are being tested, I think electronically,

asr-004842
04:38:53.700 --> 04:38:54.920
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: mayroon nagpa-positive siya.

asr-004843
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,

asr-004844
04:38:58.940 --> 04:39:02.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: maybe those devices that used radioactive.

asr-004845
04:39:02.080 --> 04:39:07.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: That's why they're still continuing to...

asr-004846
04:39:07.080 --> 04:39:08.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: still continuing...

asr-004847
04:39:08.820 --> 04:39:10.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: They're still continuing on assessing these.

asr-004848
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,

asr-004849
04:39:14.820 --> 04:39:17.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: assessment report, patungkol po dito sa sinasa...

asr-004850
04:39:17.820 --> 04:39:19.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: minimension po ng ating kagalang-galang na interpreter,

asr-004851
04:39:19.820 --> 04:39:21.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-004852
04:39:21.820 --> 04:39:23.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Hintayin din po natin yung ulat na ito,

asr-004853
04:39:23.820 --> 04:39:25.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pero para po rin sa clarification,

asr-004854
04:39:25.820 --> 04:39:29.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: galing po sa anong bansa itong ikalawa na shipment?

asr-004855
04:39:30.820 --> 04:39:33.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Galing po ng United States po, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-004856
04:39:33.820 --> 04:39:36.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero may iba-iba po na point of origin.

asr-004857
04:39:38.820 --> 04:39:46.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Meron pong mga other European countries,

asr-004858
04:39:46.820 --> 04:39:49.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: for example, those cargos,

asr-004859
04:39:49.820 --> 04:39:51.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: e-waste cargos that came from the United States,

asr-004860
04:39:51.820 --> 04:39:56.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pinabalik na po natin yan sa country of origin.

asr-004861
04:39:56.820 --> 04:39:59.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: But the other, it's still being assessed

asr-004862
04:39:59.820 --> 04:40:01.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: and magbibigay po kami ng report,

asr-004863
04:40:01.820 --> 04:40:04.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kagalang-galang na interpreter, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-004864
04:40:04.820 --> 04:40:06.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, hintayin po natin yung ulat

asr-004865
04:40:06.820 --> 04:40:09.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: at hingi rin po tayo ng ulat sa tatlong interceptions

asr-004866
04:40:09.820 --> 04:40:11.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na ginawa ng Bureau of Customs.

asr-004867
04:40:11.820 --> 04:40:19.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Andiyan po yung sa July 1, July 25, and August 18.

asr-004868
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,

asr-004869
04:40:23.820 --> 04:40:28.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: under the Basel Ban Amendment na at tayo'y signatory din,

asr-004870
04:40:28.820 --> 04:40:34.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: hindi po maaari mag-export ang bansang U.S.

asr-004871
04:40:34.820 --> 04:40:37.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: even ang mga bansa ng OECD,

asr-004872
04:40:37.820 --> 04:40:39.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: so it includes European countries,

asr-004873
04:40:39.820 --> 04:40:42.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: sa labas ng kanilang mga grupo.

asr-004874
04:40:42.820 --> 04:40:44.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So hindi po pwede sa Pilipinas.

asr-004875
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

asr-004876
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

asr-004877
04:40:54.820 --> 04:40:59.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na ang Subic Bay Freeport Zone ay outside customs territory

asr-004878
04:40:59.820 --> 04:41:03.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: over which public respondents, BOC, and POS can exercise jurisdiction.

asr-004879
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

asr-004880
04:41:09.820 --> 04:41:12.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and possibly illegal shipments within the SBMA?

asr-004881
04:41:12.820 --> 04:41:15.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At naapektoan po ba nito ang nakaraang mga pagpatitigil

asr-004882
04:41:15.820 --> 04:41:17.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng mga shipments of e-waste?

asr-004883
04:41:19.820 --> 04:41:22.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Meron naman po, Mrs. Speaker, proper coordination

asr-004884
04:41:22.820 --> 04:41:28.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ang Subic Free Zone, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor,

asr-004885
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

asr-004886
04:41:33.820 --> 04:41:36.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: binigay po sa Bureau of Customs, Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-004887
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

asr-004888
04:41:41.820 --> 04:41:49.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: both, narirespeto naman po yung mandato ng ating pangunahing ahensya

asr-004889
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

asr-004890
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,

asr-004891
04:41:58.820 --> 04:41:59.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, Your Honor.

asr-004892
04:41:59.820 --> 04:42:00.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Thank you po.

asr-004893
04:42:00.820 --> 04:42:02.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ito na lang po ang huli nating mga tanong.

asr-004894
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

asr-004895
04:42:10.820 --> 04:42:14.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: that expands the benefits and privileges of persons with disabilities.

asr-004896
04:42:14.820 --> 04:42:18.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Sa PWD tax deduction ng mga establishments,

asr-004897
04:42:18.820 --> 04:42:20.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

asr-004898
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

asr-004899
04:42:26.820 --> 04:42:30.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng persons with disability, PWD ID,

asr-004900
04:42:30.820 --> 04:42:32.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: at kung applicable yung TIN nila,

asr-004901
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?

asr-004902
04:42:58.820 --> 04:42:59.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, Your Honors,

asr-004903
04:42:59.820 --> 04:43:05.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sa palagay po namin under the BIR,

asr-004904

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: wala po namang mga cases wherein dinidisallow yung claim na lalo-lalo na po

asr-004905
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.

asr-004906
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,

asr-004907
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,

asr-004908
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.

asr-004909
04:43:34.820 --> 04:43:36.820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Speaker, Your Honors.

asr-004910
04:43:36.820 --> 04:43:39.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Unfortunately, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor,

asr-004911
04:43:39.820 --> 04:43:44.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pinapatungkol na po natin ito siguro sa Bureau of Internal Revenue,

asr-004912
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

asr-004913
04:43:49.820 --> 04:43:54.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na hindi napapayagan ang claim nila para sa tax deductions.

asr-004914
04:43:54.820 --> 04:43:57.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Naging isa nung usap-usapin yung pagkakaroon ng fake PWD ID.

asr-004915
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

asr-004916
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.

asr-004917
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.

asr-004918
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

asr-004919
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

asr-004934
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.

04:46:04.480 --> 04:46:08.260
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Thank you, Madam Speaker. Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor.

asr-004936
04:46:08.920 --> 04:46:12.340
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Una, para mabilis tayo, yes or no na lang.

asr-004937

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Sige po.

asr-004938

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: FIRB, are you willing to revisit FIRB Resolution No. 24-87?

asr-004939
04:46:26.800 --> 04:46:28.200
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, sir.

asr-004940
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?

asr-004941
04:46:45.280 --> 04:46:47.080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Nakala ko ba yes or no answer lang?

asr-004942
04:46:47.280 --> 04:46:50.360
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Hindi, yun na nga. Yung hakbang.

asr-004943
04:46:50.360 --> 04:46:51.360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ...

asr-004944
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,

asr-004945
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.

asr-004946
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?

asr-004947
04:47:17.960 --> 04:47:18.860
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Yes or no ninyo?

asr-004948
04:47:19.240 --> 04:47:20.240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Tama po yun. Yes.

04:47:20.240 --> 04:47:25.620
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Yes. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Distinguished Sponsor. Thank you, FIRB.

asr-004950
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.

asr-004951
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?

asr-004952
04:47:51.820 --> 04:47:52.520
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: na

asr-004953
04:47:52.520 --> 04:47:54.020
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Halimbawa,

asr-004955
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.

asr-004956
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?

asr-004957
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.

asr-004958
04:48:21.420 --> 04:48:24.020
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: So, yes or no lang sana yun eh?

asr-004959
04:48:24.260 --> 04:48:25.260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes po. Yes po.

asr-004960
04:48:25.260 --> 04:48:26.400
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: So, ngayon.

asr-004961
04:48:26.800 --> 04:48:34.300
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kung halimbawa, ang price reference natin sa diesel ay 60 pesos.

asr-004962
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%.

asr-004963
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...

asr-004964
04:48:56.800 --> 04:48:58.260
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Huwag nating kuliktahin.

asr-004965
04:48:58.680 --> 04:49:02.720
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kuliktahin pa rin natin para walang mawawala doon sa price reference.

asr-004966
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.

asr-004967
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.

asr-004968
04:49:20.480 --> 04:49:22.660
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: 70, 80, 90.

asr-004969
04:49:23.380 --> 04:49:26.540
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: So, siguro, sobra na yun. Walang mawawala sa atin.

asr-004970
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.

asr-004971
04:49:31.360 --> 04:49:31.780
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Thank you.

asr-004972
04:49:32.520 --> 04:49:36.460
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Doon sa kuryente, ganon din po ang gagawin natin.

asr-004973
04:49:37.080 --> 04:49:40.300
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Ang gumagalaw sa kuryente, yung generation charge.

asr-004974
04:49:41.180 --> 04:49:46.840
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Hindi po gumagalaw yung distribution, supply, metering charge.

asr-004975
04:49:47.360 --> 04:49:49.300
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Generation at transmission lang.

asr-004976
04:49:49.300 --> 04:49:54.200
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Pwede din po bang aralin ng DOF, BIR, na

asr-004978
04:49:54.200 --> 04:49:55.900
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: magkaroon

asr-004979
04:49:55.900 --> 04:49:56.660
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: tayo ng

asr-004982
04:49:56.660 --> 04:49:58.880
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: threshold.

asr-004983
04:49:58.920 --> 04:50:03.240
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Halimbawa, magpasa tayo ng batas,

asr-004984
04:50:03.240 --> 04:50:05.980
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: uutosan natin ang Energy Regulatory Commission

asr-004985
04:50:05.980 --> 04:50:12.400
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: to issue the benchmark of generation cost per type of technology.

asr-004986
04:50:13.060 --> 04:50:18.800
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Halimbawa, ang coal-fired na planta ay 8 pesos yung benchmark.

asr-004987
04:50:19.320 --> 04:50:22.020
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kapag nagmahal yung coal,

asr-004988
04:50:22.020 --> 04:50:25.520
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: o abot siya ng 10, 12,

asr-004989
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.

asr-004990
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,

asr-004991
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.

asr-004992
04:50:50.780 --> 04:50:52.840
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Can you commit naarali ninyo yan?

asr-004993
04:50:53.640 --> 04:50:54.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker.

asr-004994
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.

asr-004995
04:50:59.740 --> 04:51:01.460
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: So, that's all.

asr-004996
04:51:02.340 --> 04:51:03.400
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kuryente lang na po, Sir.

asr-004997
04:51:03.920 --> 04:51:07.320
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Nag-issue na si DBCC ba?

asr-004998
04:51:07.440 --> 04:51:07.920
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Nag-issue.

asr-004999
04:51:08.380 --> 04:51:11.840
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Yung ano ngayon natin, yung suspension ng...

asr-005000
04:51:11.840 --> 04:51:13.060
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Sinong nag-issue?

asr-005001
04:51:13.520 --> 04:51:15.600
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Yung suspension natin yung LPG ba?

asr-005002
04:51:15.920 --> 04:51:17.040
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: At saka excise tax?

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: May in-issue na tayo?

asr-005009
04:51:33.580 --> 04:51:36.900
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pumirma na rin po ang Department of Finance, Mr. Speaker.

04:51:37.060 --> 04:51:41.360
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Okay. So, maraming salamat at na-recommend na ninyo.

04:51:57.980 --> 04:51:59.860
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Ngayon, last na katanungan.

asr-005017
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.

asr-005018
04:52:05.420 --> 04:52:06.640
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Distinguished Sponsor,

asr-005019
04:52:08.000 --> 04:52:14.400
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: kapag ka sinuspend ni Presidente yung tax na yan,

asr-005020
04:52:15.400 --> 04:52:20.560
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: anong mekanisim at anong agency ang mag-monitor

asr-005021
04:52:20.560 --> 04:52:23.560
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: na yung reduction dahil...

asr-005022
04:52:25.080 --> 04:52:30.420
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Reduction in cost dahil sa suspension ay totoong na-replique.

asr-005023
04:52:30.660 --> 04:52:34.800
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Halimbawa, sa pump price, sa cost of products and services.

asr-005024
04:52:35.480 --> 04:52:37.460
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Dahil kung hindi natin na-monitor yun,

asr-005025
04:52:38.200 --> 04:52:40.340
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: baka nawalan tayo ng rebinyo,

asr-005026
04:52:40.920 --> 04:52:43.780
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: kumita pa lalo yung mga nagninigosyo.

asr-005027
04:52:44.300 --> 04:52:46.380
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Mayroon bang mekanisim? Anong agency?

asr-005028
04:52:46.860 --> 04:52:48.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mayroon po, Mr. Speaker, ang DOE po.

asr-005034
04:53:08.560 --> 04:53:11.160
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Alam ko, ilang tao lang yung Department of Energy.

asr-005035
04:53:11.700 --> 04:53:15.280
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Siguro, tingnan to ng Department of Finance

asr-005036
04:53:15.280 --> 04:53:18.880
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: kasi nasasayang yung gusto natin, yung objective,

asr-005037
04:53:19.500 --> 04:53:23.800
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: ay napoporfit kung hindi makareplique

asr-005038
04:53:25.060 --> 04:53:33.560
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: ang nabawas doon sa cost sa retail price or pump price.

asr-005039
04:53:34.320 --> 04:53:38.300
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: I hope na titignan ulit ng DOF

asr-005040
04:53:38.300 --> 04:53:41.060
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: kung kakayanin ni DOE.

asr-005041
04:53:41.420 --> 04:53:46.420
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Kung hindi, gagawa tayo ng pamamaraan na talagang mabawas yun.

asr-005042
04:53:46.920 --> 04:53:49.260
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Sa ngayon po, binabantayan po ng DOE, again,

asr-005043
04:53:50.300 --> 04:53:52.360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ongoing po naman talaga yung adjustment po.

asr-005044
04:53:52.360 --> 04:53:55.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, definitely, babantayan po ng DOE.

asr-005045
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

asr-005072-split-2
04:57:16.380 --> 04:57:24.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Thank you, Madam Speaker.

asr-005073
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.

asr-005074
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.

asr-005075
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.

asr-005076
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.

asr-005077
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.

asr-005078
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.

asr-005079
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.

asr-005080
05:00:10.980 --> 05:00:15.740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tapos ang projection for 2027, 1.7 trillion.

asr-005081
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.

asr-005082
05:00:24.040 --> 05:00:31.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: O yung dinagdag niya sa total outstanding debt stock.

asr-005083
05:00:31.820 --> 05:00:32.460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-005084
05:00:33.920 --> 05:00:37.480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So ang point po ay papalaki talaga ang utang.

asr-005085
05:00:38.180 --> 05:00:43.400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And of course, pagpapalaki ang utang, papalaki rin ang binabayaran sa utang.

asr-005086
05:00:43.540 --> 05:00:45.440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So balik na tayo dun sa debt service.

asr-005087
05:00:46.400 --> 05:00:48.320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Debt service, ayan na po.

asr-005088
05:00:49.320 --> 05:00:53.320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So again, from 2016 to 2026 and then 2027.

asr-005089
05:00:54.040 --> 05:01:01.060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung blue, principal amortization.

asr-005090
05:01:01.380 --> 05:01:04.500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung orange, interest payments.

asr-005091
05:01:04.960 --> 05:01:06.940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So combined, nakita natin.

asr-005092
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.

asr-005093
05:01:21.080 --> 05:01:24.020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero ngayon nga, sa ilalim ng Marcos Jr.

asr-005094
05:01:24.040 --> 05:01:26.280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: administration, ay papalaki ito.

asr-005095
05:01:26.360 --> 05:01:30.620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Especially in 2024, we see, umabot sa 2.02 trillion.

asr-005096
05:01:31.420 --> 05:01:36.000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And then, there will, according to projections of DOF,

asr-005097
05:01:36.980 --> 05:01:42.080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2027, may malaking paglaki po ng babayaran sa utang.

asr-005098
05:01:43.040 --> 05:01:45.260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2.7 trillion.

asr-005099
05:01:46.860 --> 05:01:47.660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-005100
05:01:47.920 --> 05:01:51.560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, pabigat po ng pabigat ang ating debt burden.

asr-005101
05:01:51.560 --> 05:01:52.960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kung baga, no?

asr-005102
05:01:54.040 --> 05:01:54.840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-005103
05:01:57.900 --> 05:01:59.420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano po ang paliwanag?

asr-005104
05:02:00.520 --> 05:02:01.980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bakit papalaki?

asr-005105
05:02:02.620 --> 05:02:05.740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Noong up to 2016 and before the pandemic,

asr-005106
05:02:07.160 --> 05:02:09.640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sinasabi talaga ng Department of Finance,

asr-005107
05:02:09.800 --> 05:02:11.200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nagiging manageable na raw

asr-005108
05:02:11.200 --> 05:02:13.660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang utang natin.

asr-005109
05:02:14.620 --> 05:02:15.780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At totoo nga,

asr-005110
05:02:16.820 --> 05:02:21.400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: below 1 trillion na yung combined na binabayaran sa utang.

asr-005111
05:02:21.420 --> 05:02:23.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero ngayon, lumobo na.

asr-005112
05:02:24.040 --> 05:02:27.360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Over 2 trillion ang babayaran sa utang.

asr-005113
05:02:29.220 --> 05:02:31.020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, Mr. Speaker, again,

asr-005114
05:02:33.360 --> 05:02:35.640
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: well, okay naman talaga, kung titignan mo naman talaga,

asr-005115
05:02:35.760 --> 05:02:37.400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker, as what projected,

asr-005116
05:02:37.780 --> 05:02:38.940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: tumataas yung utang.

asr-005117
05:02:39.080 --> 05:02:41.360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero this utang naman is not necessarily na

asr-005118
05:02:41.360 --> 05:02:44.540
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: that would worry us.

asr-005119
05:02:45.000 --> 05:02:46.560
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kasi lumalaki yung utang natin,

asr-005120
05:02:46.660 --> 05:02:48.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kasi lumalaki yung expenses na paggagamitan,

asr-005121
05:02:48.860 --> 05:02:50.980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: then lumalaki yung ating ekonomiya.

asr-005122
05:02:50.980 --> 05:02:52.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ang benchmark po naman talaga,

asr-005123
05:02:52.920 --> 05:02:53.980
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: pag, para makikita,

asr-005124
05:02:54.100 --> 05:02:56.600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: sabi po natin ay medyo offhand na,

asr-005125
05:02:57.180 --> 05:03:01.440
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ay babalik po tayo doon sa 56.4 benchmark natin

asr-005126
05:03:01.440 --> 05:03:03.420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: dun sa debt to GDP.

asr-005127
05:03:04.160 --> 05:03:09.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Na doon naman ang benchmark naman is 70% rate

asr-005128
05:03:09.800 --> 05:03:11.420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na masasabi.

asr-005129
05:03:11.520 --> 05:03:13.300
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Halimbawa, doon sa benchmark po ng

asr-005130
05:03:13.300 --> 05:03:15.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: International Monetary Fund,

asr-005131
05:03:17.180 --> 05:03:19.580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: World Bank, Mr. Speaker,

asr-005132
05:03:19.580 --> 05:03:23.180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na kung saan, pag ito po ay sumobra doon,

asr-005133
05:03:23.520 --> 05:03:24.020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ay doon po tayo,

asr-005134
05:03:24.040 --> 05:03:25.400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: magkakaroon ng problema.

asr-005135
05:03:25.920 --> 05:03:26.580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero so far,

asr-005136
05:03:27.040 --> 05:03:29.580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: medyo malayo pa po tayo doon.

asr-005137
05:03:29.660 --> 05:03:31.040
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In fact, way below po tayo.

asr-005138
05:03:31.620 --> 05:03:33.580
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, yes, nangungutang po tayo

asr-005139
05:03:33.580 --> 05:03:36.520
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: dahil po lumalago ang ating ekonomiya

asr-005140
05:03:36.520 --> 05:03:38.420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: at dumadami po ang paggagastusan

asr-005141
05:03:38.420 --> 05:03:40.220
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ng ating bansa,

asr-005142
05:03:40.360 --> 05:03:40.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mr. Speaker.

asr-005143
05:03:41.780 --> 05:03:44.200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Lumalaki ang utang dahil lumalago

asr-005144
05:03:44.200 --> 05:03:45.500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang ekonomiya

asr-005145
05:03:45.500 --> 05:03:48.960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at lumalaki ang gastusin.

asr-005146
05:03:49.100 --> 05:03:49.480
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes po.

asr-005147
05:03:49.540 --> 05:03:51.100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: At may inflation na rin po.

asr-005148
05:03:51.100 --> 05:03:52.860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Lumalaki rin ang bayad utang, no?

asr-005149
05:03:52.860 --> 05:03:55.360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero sinabi niyong lumalaki ang ekonomiya

asr-005150
05:03:55.360 --> 05:03:58.480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: although for this year in particular,

asr-005151
05:03:59.380 --> 05:04:03.940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: malaki po ang binagal

asr-005152
05:04:03.940 --> 05:04:06.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng paglaki ng ekonomiya,

asr-005153
05:04:06.460 --> 05:04:07.020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: hindi po ba?

asr-005154
05:04:07.820 --> 05:04:09.640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sabi po, second quarter of

asr-005155
05:04:09.640 --> 05:04:13.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2.3% growth only.

asr-005156
05:04:14.040 --> 05:04:17.860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Samantalang ang target ng gobyerno

asr-005157
05:04:18.440 --> 05:04:20.280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nasa mga gusto nila,

asr-005158
05:04:20.400 --> 05:04:21.540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 4 to 6%,

asr-005159
05:04:21.540 --> 05:04:22.160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: hindi po ba?

asr-005160
05:04:22.860 --> 05:04:24.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, way below

asr-005161
05:04:24.340 --> 05:04:28.540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: even the projections of the economic manager.

asr-005162
05:04:28.740 --> 05:04:31.040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, taliwas po sa sinasabi niyo,

asr-005163
05:04:31.380 --> 05:04:33.560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: umuutang para lumago ang ekonomiya.

asr-005164
05:04:33.700 --> 05:04:35.060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sa totoo lang, lumaki ang utang

asr-005165
05:04:35.060 --> 05:04:36.140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pero bumabagal

asr-005166
05:04:36.140 --> 05:04:39.240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: and significantly bumagal

asr-005167
05:04:39.240 --> 05:04:41.320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang paglaki ng ekonomiya,

asr-005168
05:04:41.420 --> 05:04:41.820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: hindi po ba?

asr-005169

05:24:50.880 --> 05:24:51.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah,

asr-005898
05:24:51.880 --> 05:24:52.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nagpapaangat.

asr-005899
05:24:52.880 --> 05:24:54.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah,

asr-005900
05:24:54.880 --> 05:24:56.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pang matagalang nagpapaangat

asr-005901
05:24:56.880 --> 05:24:57.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa mamamayan,

asr-005902
05:24:57.880 --> 05:24:58.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa kahirapan.

asr-005903
05:24:58.880 --> 05:24:59.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

asr-005904
05:24:59.880 --> 05:25:01.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil nakabatay sa,

asr-005905
05:25:01.880 --> 05:25:02.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah,

asr-005906
05:25:02.880 --> 05:25:04.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: paglikha ng trabaho.

asr-005907
05:25:04.880 --> 05:25:06.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sa agrikultura,

asr-005908
05:25:06.880 --> 05:25:07.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa industriya.

asr-005909
05:25:07.880 --> 05:25:08.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

asr-005910
05:25:08.880 --> 05:25:09.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At siguro masasabi natin,

asr-005911
05:25:09.880 --> 05:25:11.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ganyan ang nakikita natin sa ating mga kapitbahay.

asr-005912
05:25:11.880 --> 05:25:12.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya naiiwan na tayo.

asr-005913
05:25:12.880 --> 05:25:13.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Notably, for example,

asr-005914
05:25:13.880 --> 05:25:14.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Vietnam,

asr-005915
05:25:16.500 --> 05:25:18.740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: which is driven by

asr-005916
05:25:18.740 --> 05:25:20.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: manufacturing.

asr-005917
05:25:20.340 --> 05:25:21.440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No? Ah,

asr-005919
05:25:21.440 --> 05:25:23.200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: growth in their manufacturing,

asr-005920
05:25:23.200 --> 05:25:23.640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah,

asr-005921
05:25:23.640 --> 05:25:26.920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: matagal nang naiwanan tayo sa agrikultura.

asr-005922
05:25:26.920 --> 05:25:27.300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

asr-005923
05:25:27.300 --> 05:25:29.200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya nga nag-i-import tayo

asr-005924
05:25:29.200 --> 05:25:30.420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng bigas sa kanila.

asr-005925
05:25:30.620 --> 05:25:31.780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, yun yung

asr-005926
05:25:31.780 --> 05:25:32.960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: isang tipo ng growth.

asr-005927
05:25:32.960 --> 05:25:34.960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Meron namang isang tipo ng growth,

asr-005928
05:25:34.960 --> 05:25:36.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na,

asr-005929
05:25:36.340 --> 05:25:37.460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: tawagin natin,

asr-005930
05:25:37.460 --> 05:25:38.400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kung may junk calories,

asr-005931
05:25:38.480 --> 05:25:39.700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: meron ding junk growth.

asr-005932
05:25:39.700 --> 05:25:41.020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

asr-005942
05:25:41.020 --> 05:25:41.620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Totoo,

asr-005943
05:25:41.760 --> 05:25:42.960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the headline figures

asr-005944
05:25:42.960 --> 05:25:44.200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: will increase,

asr-005945
05:25:44.900 --> 05:25:46.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sabi na bawasan daw ang mahirap,

asr-005946
05:25:46.880 --> 05:25:47.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: no,

asr-005947
05:25:47.880 --> 05:25:48.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pero sa totoo lang,

asr-005948
05:25:48.880 --> 05:25:52.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kung tatanungin mo ang ordinaryong mamamayan,

asr-005949
05:25:52.880 --> 05:25:53.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah,

asr-005950
05:25:53.880 --> 05:25:54.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: di nila na-ra-ramdaman

asr-005951
05:25:54.880 --> 05:25:56.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang pagiging middle income status,

asr-005952
05:25:56.880 --> 05:25:57.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: no,

asr-005953
05:25:57.880 --> 05:25:59.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: bakit hindi?

asr-005954
05:25:59.880 --> 05:26:00.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil,

asr-005955
05:26:00.880 --> 05:26:02.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: napataas

asr-005956
05:26:02.880 --> 05:26:03.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang,

asr-005957
05:26:03.880 --> 05:26:04.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah,

asr-005958
05:26:04.880 --> 05:26:05.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: o napababa daw ang poverty rate,

asr-005959
05:26:05.880 --> 05:26:07.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: dahil sa ayuda.

asr-005960
05:26:07.880 --> 05:26:08.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil sa tupad,

asr-005961
05:26:08.880 --> 05:26:09.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: napaba,

asr-005962
05:26:09.880 --> 05:26:10.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: napaba-

asr-005963
05:26:10.880 --> 05:26:14.300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pababa ang unemployment rate.

asr-005964
05:26:14.880 --> 05:26:18.020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero hindi naman lumikha ng pangmatagalang trabaho,

asr-005965
05:26:19.020 --> 05:26:23.300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: hindi lumikha ng livelihood o kabuhayan,

asr-005966
05:26:23.680 --> 05:26:24.620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kung hindi ayuda.

asr-005967
05:26:25.500 --> 05:26:28.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, to conclude, Mr. Speaker,

asr-005968
05:26:28.720 --> 05:26:31.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: unfortunately, the current model

asr-005969
05:26:31.340 --> 05:26:35.620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pursued by the Marcos Jr. administration,

asr-005970
05:26:36.560 --> 05:26:39.460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: led by the economic managers,

asr-005971
05:26:39.460 --> 05:26:41.980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: including the Department of Finance,

asr-005972
05:26:42.840 --> 05:26:47.280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: has been a debt-driven junk growth.

asr-005973
05:26:48.280 --> 05:26:54.360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi lumilika ng pangmatagalang trabaho at kabuhayan,

asr-005974
05:26:54.500 --> 05:26:57.460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: lalo na sa agrikultura at industriya.

asr-005975
05:26:58.280 --> 05:27:08.100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nakadepende sa pagwaldas ng malaking public funds

asr-005976
05:27:08.100 --> 05:27:09.140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa

asr-005977
05:27:09.140 --> 05:27:12.280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: public infrastructure,

asr-005978
05:27:12.760 --> 05:27:16.540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: katulad ng flood control na hindi tunay na pakikinabangan ng mamamayan

asr-005979
05:27:16.540 --> 05:27:20.360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at pinagbumulan ng malaking corruption

asr-005980
05:27:20.360 --> 05:27:21.580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at

asr-005981
05:27:21.580 --> 05:27:23.980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ayuda,

asr-005982
05:27:24.640 --> 05:27:25.760
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: paglaki ng ayuda

asr-005983
05:27:25.760 --> 05:27:30.520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na pansamantalang magbibigay ng tulong,

asr-005984
05:27:30.520 --> 05:27:34.520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ngunit hindi ng pangmatagalang trabaho at kabuhayan sa mamamayan.

asr-005985
05:27:34.920 --> 05:27:37.960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, hanggang doon na lamang po, Madam Speaker,

asr-005986
05:27:39.140 --> 05:27:41.600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yan ang kailangang baguhin sa kasalukuyang budget.

asr-005987
05:27:42.320 --> 05:27:44.080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At hindi lang budget ang kailangang baguhin,

asr-005988
05:27:44.160 --> 05:27:46.440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kailangang baguhin yung buong economic model.

asr-005989
05:27:47.300 --> 05:27:48.280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi na po pwede

asr-005990
05:27:48.280 --> 05:27:50.900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang debt-driven,

asr-005991
05:27:51.500 --> 05:27:55.520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pork-fueled,

asr-005992
05:27:55.520 --> 05:27:56.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: debt-driven,

asr-005993
05:27:57.540 --> 05:27:59.100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: debt-fueled,

asr-005994
05:27:59.100 --> 05:28:00.040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pork-driven

asr-005995
05:28:00.040 --> 05:28:01.860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: economic growth

asr-005996
05:28:01.860 --> 05:28:03.260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na nakikita natin ngayon.

asr-005997
05:28:03.440 --> 05:28:04.260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Maraming salamat po.

asr-005998
05:28:06.820 --> 05:28:07.860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Maraming salamat,

asr-005999
05:28:08.160 --> 05:28:09.100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Mrs. Madam Speaker,

asr-006000
05:28:09.140 --> 05:28:10.120
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Majority Leader.

asr-006001
05:28:12.520 --> 05:28:13.760
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: Madam Speaker,

asr-006002
05:28:14.000 --> 05:28:15.580
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: next to interpolate the sponsor,

asr-006003
05:28:15.740 --> 05:28:19.380
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: I move to recognize Representative Presley C. De Jesus

asr-006004
05:28:19.380 --> 05:28:21.560
Rep. Patricia C. Calderon: of Philreca Partylist.

asr-006005
05:28:22.280 --> 05:28:25.660
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: The Honorable Presley De Jesus of Partylist Philreca

asr-006006
05:28:25.660 --> 05:28:28.120
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: is recognized for his interpolation.

asr-006007
05:28:29.520 --> 05:28:31.440
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.

asr-006008
05:28:31.680 --> 05:28:32.420
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Of course, the

asr-006009
05:28:32.420 --> 05:28:33.980
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: distinguished sponsor,

asr-006010
05:28:34.680 --> 05:28:35.980
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: medyo limang oras na siya,

asr-006011
05:28:36.120 --> 05:28:37.640
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: so I'll make it short.

asr-006012
05:28:38.260 --> 05:28:39.120
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Speaker,

asr-006013
05:28:39.140 --> 05:28:40.400
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Distinguished Sponsor,

asr-006014
05:28:40.480 --> 05:28:41.200
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: again,

asr-006015
05:28:42.020 --> 05:28:44.320
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: being representative of all the cooperatives,

asr-006016
05:28:44.460 --> 05:28:44.760
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: ito po,

asr-006017
05:28:44.880 --> 05:28:46.420
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: ito yung sa mga kooperatiba po,

asr-006018
05:28:46.540 --> 05:28:48.060
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: I have only a few questions.

asr-006019
05:28:49.440 --> 05:28:50.800
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ang una pong tanong,

asr-006020
05:28:50.960 --> 05:28:52.900
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: ano ho ang primary reason

asr-006021
05:28:52.900 --> 05:28:55.360
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: bakit hirap na hirap makakuha

asr-006022
05:28:55.360 --> 05:28:56.280
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: o mag-renew,

asr-006023
05:28:57.000 --> 05:28:58.200
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: mag-renew ng CTE

asr-006024
05:28:58.200 --> 05:29:01.560
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: ang mga cooperatives natin?

asr-006025
05:29:03.600 --> 05:29:06.880
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ito po yung Certificate of Tax Exemption.

asr-006037
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.

asr-006038
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.

asr-006039
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.

asr-006040
05:30:07.520 --> 05:30:10.000
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kaya hindi na po natin nire-require yung kanilang...

asr-006041
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.

asr-006042
05:30:17.980 --> 05:30:20.920
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Alam niyo po, Madam Speaker, distinguished sponsor.

asr-006043
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.

asr-006044
05:30:27.620 --> 05:30:31.160
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, alam niyo, karamihan sa kanila, no read, no write.

asr-006045
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.

asr-006046
05:30:37.000 --> 05:30:41.580
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, yung sa amin po, konting unawa sa kanila.

asr-006047
05:30:41.780 --> 05:30:45.880
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: But again, I know, sa BIR, kailangan talaga may TIN ka.

asr-006048
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.

asr-006049
05:30:50.780 --> 05:30:51.460
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, you need that.

asr-006050
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,

asr-006051
05:30:56.400 --> 05:31:01.840
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: eh ang kanyang kooperativa, kung nyari, kooperativa ABC,

asr-006052
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.

asr-006053
05:31:05.140 --> 05:31:06.820
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Pati ba member, kailangan i-registro?

asr-006054
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.

asr-006055
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.

asr-006056
05:31:23.280 --> 05:31:26.180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, again, ang BIR.

asr-006057
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.

asr-006058
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.

asr-006059
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.

asr-006060
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.

asr-006061
05:31:53.420 --> 05:31:55.840
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: And directly dealing with the cooperatives.

asr-006062
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.

asr-006063
05:32:02.900 --> 05:32:04.480
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: But with this cooperative na malilit, no?

asr-006073
05:32:46.020 --> 05:32:47.340
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Sana mapagbigyan din natin.

asr-006090
05:33:24.240 --> 05:33:26.160
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Yung per liter nyo na excise tax.

asr-006091
05:33:26.400 --> 05:33:30.840
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: At what amount did you peg it?

asr-006092
05:33:31.060 --> 05:33:32.520
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: 60 pesos ba per liter ba?

asr-006093
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.

asr-006094
05:33:38.200 --> 05:33:38.440
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Okay.

asr-006095
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?

asr-006096
05:33:46.220 --> 05:33:46.600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Petroleum.

asr-006097
05:33:46.640 --> 05:33:49.060
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, in that, the fuel rather than the price.

asr-006098
05:33:49.080 --> 05:33:49.560
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: By volume.

asr-006099
05:33:49.860 --> 05:33:51.760
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yes, by volume rather than the price po, Mrs. Speaker.

asr-006100
05:33:51.760 --> 05:33:52.200
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Do you think?

asr-006101
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.

asr-006102
05:33:56.400 --> 05:33:58.220
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: 100 pesos per liter.

asr-006103
05:33:58.660 --> 05:34:00.520
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, may windfall ba yan, o wala?

asr-006104
05:34:00.780 --> 05:34:01.120
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Tingin nyo.

asr-006105
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.

asr-006106
05:34:07.780 --> 05:34:10.640
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, what can we tell them, at least marilib sila?

asr-006107
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?

asr-006108
05:34:15.860 --> 05:34:17.740
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, the government has to do it.

asr-006109
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?

asr-006110
05:34:22.440 --> 05:34:22.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah.

asr-006111
05:34:24.340 --> 05:34:24.520

05:34:24.520 --> 05:34:25.560

asr-006113
05:34:25.560 --> 05:34:28.720
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, I think kung di ako nagkakamali, di ba,

asr-006114
05:34:28.980 --> 05:34:29.880
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: na wala na yung ex...

05:34:32.540 --> 05:34:32.780
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Yeah.

asr-006117
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.

asr-006118
05:34:50.060 --> 05:34:53.160
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Ito ang uplift program po ng gobyerno.

asr-006119
05:34:53.280 --> 05:34:55.380
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kasi nga po, nasa kalagayan po.

asr-006120
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.

asr-006121
05:35:07.200 --> 05:35:09.800
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So, yun po yung in-explain po natin kanina.

asr-006122
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.

asr-006123
05:35:22.360 --> 05:35:25.140
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

asr-006124
05:35:25.380 --> 05:35:27.520
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Speaker, of course, Distinguished Sponsor.

asr-006125
05:35:27.720 --> 05:35:28.780
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Speaker, sorry.

asr-006126
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.

asr-006127
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?

asr-006128
05:35:55.380 --> 05:36:17.180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: ...

asr-006128-split-2
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.

asr-006129
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.

asr-006130
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.

asr-006131
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.

asr-006132
05:36:52.900 --> 05:36:54.580
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Speaker, my question is,

asr-006133
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?

asr-006134
05:37:04.920 --> 05:37:07.020
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Asensya na po, pwede pong pakaiulit yung...

asr-006135
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.

asr-006136
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?

asr-006137
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.

asr-006138
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.

asr-006139
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.

asr-006140
05:37:54.550 --> 05:37:55.300
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Madam Speaker.

asr-006141
05:37:55.360 --> 05:37:56.440

asr-006142
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.

asr-006143
05:38:03.880 --> 05:38:06.500
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kasi gusto lang din nila malaman, ngayon nanonood sila lahat.

asr-006144
05:38:07.000 --> 05:38:10.420
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Gusto lang nila malaman, anong rate at saan yung kukunin?

asr-006145
05:38:10.700 --> 05:38:12.040
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Sa total bet ba?

asr-006146
05:38:12.580 --> 05:38:14.800
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Sa net income nila, kasi nalilito sila.

asr-006149
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?

asr-006150
05:38:53.060 --> 05:38:54.740
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Pero ang sinasabi po nitong mga,

06:15:16.480 --> 06:15:22.420

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?

asr-006541
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.

asr-006542
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.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ito ang mga authorization na DBM, base po sa mga requests ng mga local government units.

asr-006544
06:16:28.120 --> 06:16:38.000

06:16:43.040 --> 06:16:45.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That is correct po, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

asr-006549
06:16:52.420 --> 06:16:55.260
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: kung sino talaga yung makakatanggap

06:17:34.820 --> 06:17:36.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: hindi pa po matutuko yun.

asr-006564
06:17:36.980 --> 06:17:39.020
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ibig pong sabi, may karapatan sila mag-apply.

asr-006567
06:17:47.060 --> 06:17:49.360

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?

asr-007041
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,

asr-007042
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,

asr-007043
06:31:23.220 --> 06:31:26.660
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: anong provision sa batas ang automatic ang nagbabawal nito?

asr-007044
06:31:26.980 --> 06:31:27.380
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Meron ba?

asr-007045
06:31:30.240 --> 06:31:31.720
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: May poverty first rule ba?

asr-007046
06:31:32.160 --> 06:31:34.260
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: May poorest LGU first rule ba?

asr-007047
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?

asr-007048
06:31:45.840 --> 06:31:48.100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues,

asr-007049
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,

asr-007050
06:31:52.880 --> 06:31:55.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: particularly bars, such.

asr-007051
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.

asr-007052
06:32:04.000 --> 06:32:06.460
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Publicly verifiable ba ang scoring?

asr-007053
06:32:07.840 --> 06:32:10.220
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Pangalan ng lahat ng aplikanting LGU?

asr-007054
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?

asr-007055
06:32:18.260 --> 06:32:22.420
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Pwede po ba magbigay sa aking tanggapan ang...

asr-007056
06:32:22.880 --> 06:32:23.320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: DBM?

asr-007057
06:32:25.320 --> 06:32:29.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, the DBM po agrees to it.

asr-007058
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?

asr-007059
06:32:37.100 --> 06:32:38.320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: 25 and 26.

asr-007060
06:32:39.700 --> 06:32:40.960
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi naman po madalian.

asr-007061
06:32:41.160 --> 06:32:42.900
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: One or two weeks, okay naman po yan.

asr-007062
06:32:43.660 --> 06:32:43.940
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Opo.

asr-007063
06:32:43.940 --> 06:32:51.340
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sana po may isama yung kanilang ginawang scoring procedure at ranking procedure.

asr-007064
06:32:53.300 --> 06:32:55.980
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Aprobadong halaga at yung dahilan ng rejection.

asr-007065
06:33:05.680 --> 06:33:10.460
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ito po, maliwanag po, Madam Speaker, gusto ko po linawag.

asr-007066
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...

asr-007067
06:33:22.880 --> 06:33:25.080
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Budget Approval.

asr-007068
06:33:30.080 --> 06:33:34.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, the DBM will generate what they have.

asr-007069
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.

asr-007070
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.

asr-007071
06:33:52.380 --> 06:33:52.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ano lang po?

asr-007072
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.

asr-007073
06:34:00.060 --> 06:34:02.480
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ano mang particular na item sa Appropriations Bill?

asr-007074
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?

asr-007075
06:34:11.500 --> 06:34:11.700
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi.

asr-007076
06:34:12.100 --> 06:34:12.580
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Di po ba?

asr-007077
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?

asr-007078
06:34:22.400 --> 06:34:22.840
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi.

asr-007079
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.

asr-007080
06:34:32.520 --> 06:34:37.360
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang congressional oversight ba ay sapat nakapalit?

asr-007081
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.

asr-007082
06:34:41.600 --> 06:34:46.540
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: You may now finish your interpellation.

asr-007083
06:34:46.740 --> 06:34:49.400
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yes, I'm to last two questions.

asr-007084
06:34:51.400 --> 06:34:52.400
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Maaari bang...

asr-007085
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?

asr-007086
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...

asr-007087
06:35:21.380 --> 06:35:25.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For LGSF, if I may po.

asr-007088
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.

asr-007089
06:35:33.000 --> 06:35:38.800
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Population, poverty incidence, income class, fiscal gap, and disaster vulnerability.

asr-007090
06:35:41.020 --> 06:35:41.700
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Madam Speaker...

asr-007091
06:35:41.700 --> 06:35:42.580
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Dito po ba merong ganito?

asr-007092
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.

asr-007093
06:35:49.760 --> 06:35:51.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sa mga nakaraang GAA po.

asr-007094
06:35:51.380 --> 06:35:56.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Wala pong reportorial requirements na talagang nakatoon para po sa LGSF.

asr-007095
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.

asr-007096
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.

asr-007097
06:36:21.380 --> 06:36:24.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But again po, sa LGSF, bukas din po ang DBM doon.

asr-007098
06:36:24.720 --> 06:36:25.300
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Salamat po.

asr-007099
06:36:25.480 --> 06:36:27.400
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Naniniwala po ako na ang Congress na may power of the...

asr-007100
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].

asr-007101
06:36:30.940 --> 06:36:31.440
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yes, this is my last manifestation.

asr-007102
06:36:32.700 --> 06:36:35.520
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Naniniwala po ako ang Congress na may power of the first.

asr-007103
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.

asr-007104
06:36:42.500 --> 06:36:46.320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang executive ay dapat magpatupad, hindi gumawa ng bagong appropriation.

asr-007105
06:36:48.100 --> 06:36:50.320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang 2027 palgo, hindi tinutukoy...

asr-007106
06:36:51.380 --> 06:36:54.000
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang 2027 palgo, hindi tinutukoy ng kongreso ang bawat recipient na LGU.

asr-007107
06:36:54.700 --> 06:36:57.440
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi tinutukoy ng kongreso ang bawat proyekto at lokasyon.

asr-007108
06:36:57.960 --> 06:37:01.760
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi tinutukoy ng kongreso ang halagang matatanggap ng bawat LGU.

asr-007109
06:37:02.140 --> 06:37:06.020
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi nagtakda ang kongreso ng mathematical allocation formula.

asr-007110
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.

asr-007111
06:37:12.220 --> 06:37:15.360
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang DBM ang nag-a-approve ba o tatanggi sa application.

asr-007112
06:37:15.960 --> 06:37:19.140
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Walang panibagong boto ng kongreso bago ilabas ang pondo.

asr-007113
06:37:21.380 --> 06:37:23.620
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Lahat po ito may public purpose.

asr-007114
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.

asr-007115
06:37:34.960 --> 06:37:40.140
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Dapat po may guidelines at scorecard na inaprobahan ng kongreso.

asr-007116
06:37:41.460 --> 06:37:44.320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Pinapayagan ng Supreme Court ang LAMSAM appropriation.

asr-007117
06:37:45.180 --> 06:37:49.320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Di lahat ng LAMSAM ay automaticong konstitusyonal.

asr-007118
06:37:51.380 --> 06:37:57.980
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sapagkat hinihingi ng Korte na identifiable program, activity, or project.

asr-007119
06:37:58.140 --> 06:38:02.320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sapat na standards at malinaw na hangganan.

asr-007120
06:38:05.080 --> 06:38:10.040
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kaya po, palagay ko po ay dapat pag-usapan ng kongreso nito.

asr-007121
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.

asr-007122
06:38:20.100 --> 06:38:21.340
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ito po ay support.

asr-007123
06:38:21.380 --> 06:38:24.120
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ito po ay support sa local government.

asr-007124
06:38:24.780 --> 06:38:30.560
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Yung mayayaman, hindi na gano'ng kailangan ng supporta.

asr-007125
06:38:31.180 --> 06:38:32.980
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Mas kailangan po ng mahihirap.

asr-007126
06:38:33.620 --> 06:38:40.380
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: 22 billion na halaga ng bigas ang pinamigay noong 2026.

asr-007127
06:38:41.280 --> 06:38:47.580
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ito po, wala po itong economic effect sa pagpapaunlad ng bansa.

asr-007128
06:38:47.580 --> 06:38:51.380
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: At alam ko po, bilang matagal na sa paglilingkod

asr-007129
06:38:51.380 --> 06:38:55.160
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: sa pamahalaan, marami po, marami dito nanakaw lang.

asr-007130
06:38:56.460 --> 06:38:57.440
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Nanakaw lang po.

asr-007131
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.

asr-007132
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.

asr-007133
06:39:20.060 --> 06:39:21.180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Napakarami pong pangangailangan.

asr-007134
06:39:21.380 --> 06:39:23.320
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Simple lang po.

asr-007135
06:39:23.640 --> 06:39:27.480
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Alam nyo kung anong dahilan, bakit nagbigay ng 22 billion na bigas?

asr-007136
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.

asr-007137
06:39:35.840 --> 06:39:38.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

asr-007138
06:39:39.240 --> 06:39:43.620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Again, the DBM appreciates the points raised.

asr-007139
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.

asr-007140
06:39:48.960 --> 06:39:49.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If there are...

asr-007141
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.

asr-007142
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.

asr-007143
06:40:15.620 --> 06:40:16.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Bukas po ang DBM doon.

asr-007144
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.

asr-007145
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.

asr-007146
06:40:32.720 --> 06:40:36.180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Madam Speaker, one last point.

asr-007147
06:40:36.680 --> 06:40:40.420
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sinabi po ni Usec Claire Castro.

asr-007148
06:40:42.000 --> 06:40:45.060
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Sinabi niya na ang sinasabi ko ay intriga lamang.

asr-007149
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?

asr-007150
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.

Rep. Ramon Rodrigo "Rodge" L. Gutierrez: Madam Speaker, minute suspension, please.

asr-007154-split-2
06:41:33.100 --> 06:41:34.140
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Session is suspended.

asr-007165

asr-007166-split-2
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.

asr-007166-split-3
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.

asr-007172
06:47:11.380 --> 06:47:12.060
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Okay.

asr-007173
06:47:13.180 --> 06:47:13.860

asr-007176
06:47:17.780 --> 06:47:19.700
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: dito ko po itratanong sa inyo, no,

asr-007177
06:47:19.860 --> 06:47:21.840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I think I should have asked this yesterday

asr-007178
06:47:21.840 --> 06:47:23.040
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: doon sa ating

asr-007179
06:47:23.040 --> 06:47:25.840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: DPWH, sponsored by

asr-007180
06:47:25.840 --> 06:47:28.000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Congressman Momo, but he told me

asr-007181
06:47:28.940 --> 06:47:29.940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: he has no

asr-007182
06:47:29.940 --> 06:47:32.100
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: authority to speak, but he asked me

asr-007183
06:47:32.100 --> 06:47:34.200
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: if I could ask you, so I agreed naman po, no.

asr-007184
06:47:34.680 --> 06:47:35.580
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So, first of all,

asr-007185
06:47:36.080 --> 06:47:37.960
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I would like to give you a brief

asr-007186
06:47:37.960 --> 06:47:39.820
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: background, no, on why

asr-007187
06:47:39.820 --> 06:47:41.740
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I am passionate about this, no.

asr-007188
06:47:43.960 --> 06:47:45.680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yung mga kasamahan ko po dito

asr-007189
06:47:45.680 --> 06:47:48.200
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: noong 19th Congress,

asr-007190
06:47:49.140 --> 06:47:49.840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: alam po nila

asr-007191
06:47:49.840 --> 06:47:51.740
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na ako po yung nag-aral

asr-007192
06:47:51.740 --> 06:47:54.000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: noong budget noong

asr-007193
06:47:54.860 --> 06:47:56.240
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: 2025,

asr-007194
06:47:56.520 --> 06:47:57.780
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: kung bakit nag... kasi

asr-007195
06:47:57.780 --> 06:47:59.100
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ganito po yung history niyan, eh.

asr-007196
06:47:59.940 --> 06:48:02.300
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yung 2025 budget, hindi po

asr-007197
06:48:02.300 --> 06:48:03.280
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: naabutan

asr-007198
06:48:03.280 --> 06:48:05.780
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na ma-veto lahat nung

asr-007199
06:48:05.780 --> 06:48:08.340
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: insertions. So, pinahold po,

asr-007200
06:48:08.800 --> 06:48:09.480
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: pinastop

asr-007201
06:48:09.480 --> 06:48:12.360
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ang implementation ng lahat ng insertions

asr-007202
06:48:12.360 --> 06:48:13.780
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: noon, and I had to study

asr-007203
06:48:13.780 --> 06:48:16.040
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: bakit nagka-problema doon.

asr-007204
06:48:16.320 --> 06:48:18.180
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: And these are the things that I found,

asr-007205
06:48:18.320 --> 06:48:19.800
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: no. One,

asr-007206
06:48:20.080 --> 06:48:22.160
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I found that if we only

asr-007207
06:48:22.160 --> 06:48:24.380
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: compared, kung pinagkumpara

asr-007208
06:48:24.380 --> 06:48:26.140
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: lang po natin, yung

asr-007209
06:48:26.140 --> 06:48:28.040
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: budget per

asr-007210
06:48:28.040 --> 06:48:28.680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: district,

asr-007211
06:48:29.940 --> 06:48:31.840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: at nakita natin lahat,

asr-007212
06:48:32.240 --> 06:48:34.460
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: makikita kaagad natin yung mga bumubukol

asr-007213
06:48:34.460 --> 06:48:35.920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na districts.

asr-007214
06:48:36.620 --> 06:48:38.720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Kasi doon sa mga bumubukol na districts,

asr-007215
06:48:38.860 --> 06:48:40.360
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: doon nagkaroon problema. Ano po

asr-007216
06:48:40.360 --> 06:48:41.900
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ang ibig sabihin ko na bumubukol?

asr-007217
06:48:42.580 --> 06:48:44.260
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Because, di ba, if we will divide

asr-007218
06:48:44.260 --> 06:48:46.360
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: the total DPWH

asr-007219
06:48:46.360 --> 06:48:48.480
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: budget by the number of districts,

asr-007220
06:48:49.560 --> 06:48:50.520
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ang average

asr-007221
06:48:50.520 --> 06:48:52.580
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: niyan would be about 2 billion. So, more or less,

asr-007222
06:48:52.660 --> 06:48:54.220
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: may mas mababa sa 2 billion,

asr-007223
06:48:54.320 --> 06:48:56.100
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: may mas mataas sa 2 billion. So, wala naman

asr-007224
06:48:56.100 --> 06:48:58.200
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: problema doon. Pero kung

asr-007225
06:48:58.200 --> 06:48:59.760
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ginawa lang natin yung

asr-007226
06:48:59.760 --> 06:49:01.940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: earlier, makikita natin ng districts na may

asr-007227
06:49:01.940 --> 06:49:03.780
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: mga districts na

asr-007228
06:49:03.780 --> 06:49:05.960
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: 20 billion. Eh, pero

asr-007229
06:49:05.960 --> 06:49:07.680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: nalaman na lang natin huli nung

asr-007230
06:49:07.680 --> 06:49:09.920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: binubusisi na natin yun. So, that is

asr-007231
06:49:09.920 --> 06:49:11.920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: the reason why I am advocating

asr-007232
06:49:11.920 --> 06:49:13.600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na ipakita natin

asr-007233
06:49:13.600 --> 06:49:15.420
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: yung budget per district. Two,

asr-007234
06:49:15.820 --> 06:49:17.960
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: para maiwasan na natin to. Number one

asr-007235
06:49:17.960 --> 06:49:19.760
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: po yan. Number two,

asr-007236
06:49:20.440 --> 06:49:21.560
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: pag tinanong mo naman yung mga

asr-007237
06:49:21.560 --> 06:49:23.740
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: congressman nung district

asr-007238
06:49:23.740 --> 06:49:25.860
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na kung saan bumukol,

asr-007239
06:49:26.440 --> 06:49:27.680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: sasabihin ng mga congressman,

asr-007240
06:49:27.760 --> 06:49:28.540
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: hindi kanila yan.

asr-007241
06:49:29.760 --> 06:49:31.640
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So, di ba, nasisisi sila sa hindi naman

asr-007242
06:49:31.640 --> 06:49:33.080
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ka nila. And,

asr-007243
06:49:34.780 --> 06:49:35.580
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ang masakit doon,

asr-007244
06:49:35.800 --> 06:49:37.560
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: isa doon sa mga malalaki ang

asr-007245
06:49:37.560 --> 06:49:39.720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: pinasok doon,

asr-007246
06:49:39.940 --> 06:49:41.700
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ay mga party list. For example, the biggest

asr-007247
06:49:41.700 --> 06:49:43.920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: party list na nag-insert

asr-007248
06:49:43.920 --> 06:49:46.400
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: doon is TINGOG with 5.96

asr-007249
06:49:46.400 --> 06:49:47.860
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: billion. So, that is

asr-007250
06:49:47.860 --> 06:49:49.920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: the reason why I am advocating this. Para

asr-007251
06:49:49.920 --> 06:49:51.460
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: maiwasan yun, no?

asr-007252
06:49:51.860 --> 06:49:53.640
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So, ganito po. Para hindi

asr-007253
06:49:53.640 --> 06:49:54.720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: tumagal yung ating

asr-007254
06:49:54.720 --> 06:49:56.440
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: usapan.

asr-007255
06:49:57.840 --> 06:49:59.200
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So, that is the reason, no?

asr-007256
06:49:59.760 --> 06:50:01.620
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: And then, 2026, supposed, dapat

asr-007257
06:50:01.620 --> 06:50:03.600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: binago na natin yan. Okay?

asr-007258
06:50:04.160 --> 06:50:06.060
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Ang problema in my district,

asr-007259
06:50:06.520 --> 06:50:07.460
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: in my district,

asr-007260
06:50:07.700 --> 06:50:09.760
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: and I've written you about this, is

asr-007261
06:50:09.760 --> 06:50:11.880
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: may dalawang projects

asr-007262
06:50:11.880 --> 06:50:13.920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na hindi talaga ma-implement

asr-007263
06:50:13.920 --> 06:50:15.240
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng DPWH.

asr-007264
06:50:16.180 --> 06:50:16.760
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yung isa,

asr-007265
06:50:17.860 --> 06:50:19.120
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: construction,

asr-007266
06:50:19.720 --> 06:50:21.680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: completion of multi-purpose

asr-007267
06:50:21.680 --> 06:50:23.940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: building, barangay

asr-007268
06:50:23.940 --> 06:50:25.840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: center, barangay

asr-007269
06:50:25.840 --> 06:50:26.680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Tansa 2.

asr-007270
06:50:28.960 --> 06:50:29.720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yan,

asr-007271
06:50:29.760 --> 06:50:31.500
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng title, pero wala namang

asr-007272
06:50:31.500 --> 06:50:33.680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: kinonstruct na multi-purpose building.

asr-007273
06:50:33.820 --> 06:50:35.320
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So, papaano magkakaroon ng

asr-007274
06:50:35.320 --> 06:50:37.220
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: completion? Isa yan.

asr-007275
06:50:38.060 --> 06:50:39.840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Pangalawa po, construction,

asr-007276
06:50:40.100 --> 06:50:41.980
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: completion, same title, multi-purpose

asr-007277
06:50:41.980 --> 06:50:44.060
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: building facilities, barangay San Rafael

asr-007278
06:50:44.060 --> 06:50:45.280
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Village, Navotas,

asr-007279
06:50:45.760 --> 06:50:47.640
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: 3 million. Wala rin pong

asr-007280
06:50:47.640 --> 06:50:50.020
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: kinonstruct. So, papaano

asr-007281
06:50:50.020 --> 06:50:51.900
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: magkakaroon ng completion? So, dalawa po

asr-007282
06:50:51.900 --> 06:50:53.000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: yung concern ko dito.

asr-007283
06:50:53.840 --> 06:50:55.540
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Ang isang concern ko is

asr-007284
06:50:55.540 --> 06:50:58.160
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: hindi siya implementable.

asr-007285
06:50:58.680 --> 06:50:59.220
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Buti na lang,

asr-007286
06:50:59.760 --> 06:51:01.140
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: 3 million

asr-007287
06:51:01.140 --> 06:51:03.920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: each yung amount, hindi malaking

asr-007288
06:51:03.920 --> 06:51:05.840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: pera yung nasayang ng gobyerno. Imagine

asr-007289
06:51:05.840 --> 06:51:07.960
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: if it were a 100 million project

asr-007290
06:51:07.960 --> 06:51:09.520
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na hindi implementable,

asr-007291
06:51:09.920 --> 06:51:11.720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: di, 100 million yung hindi

asr-007292
06:51:11.720 --> 06:51:13.920
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: nagawa. Okay. Number two,

asr-007293
06:51:14.720 --> 06:51:15.660
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: since ako po yung

asr-007294
06:51:15.660 --> 06:51:17.840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: district congressman, pag may

asr-007295
06:51:17.840 --> 06:51:19.000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: nakakita nito sa

asr-007296
06:51:19.000 --> 06:51:22.040
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: DPWH website, at alam naman nilang

asr-007297
06:51:22.040 --> 06:51:23.700
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: walang kinonstruct,

asr-007298
06:51:23.700 --> 06:51:26.060
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: tapos may completion, ako naman pagdududahan

asr-007299
06:51:26.060 --> 06:51:26.660
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: nila na

asr-007300
06:51:26.660 --> 06:51:29.600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: naglagay ng project na hindi

asr-007301
06:51:29.600 --> 06:51:31.240
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: naman implementable.

asr-007302
06:51:32.380 --> 06:51:33.740
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Okay. Number three,

asr-007303
06:51:34.640 --> 06:51:37.940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ito po,

asr-007304
06:51:38.500 --> 06:51:39.460
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: wala po ito sa NEP.

asr-007305
06:51:40.780 --> 06:51:42.060
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Pumasok lang siya sa

asr-007306
06:51:42.060 --> 06:51:43.640
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: HGAB. So,

asr-007307
06:51:43.800 --> 06:51:45.160
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: naipasok to doon sa

asr-007308
06:51:45.160 --> 06:51:47.320
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: BARC. Okay.

asr-007309
06:51:47.680 --> 06:51:49.180
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Kasi wala siya sa NEP.

asr-007310
06:51:49.540 --> 06:51:51.500
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: And when I asked the district engineer,

asr-007311
06:51:51.640 --> 06:51:53.080
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: sabi nila, hindi nagpaalam sa kanila.

asr-007312
06:51:53.560 --> 06:51:55.320
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Sabi nung city engineer, hindi nila alam yung

asr-007313
06:51:55.320 --> 06:51:57.140
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: proyekto. Sabi nung barangay,

asr-007314
06:51:57.740 --> 06:51:59.480
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: yung isang barangay talagang totally wala.

asr-007315
06:51:59.600 --> 06:52:01.600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yung isang barangay, iba

asr-007316
06:52:01.600 --> 06:52:03.000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: daw naman yung gustong ipagawa.

asr-007317
06:52:03.460 --> 06:52:05.720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Sabi ko, delikado yan because that is not the title.

asr-007318
06:52:06.000 --> 06:52:07.520
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Okay. Yun lang yung pinagagalingan ko.

asr-007319
06:52:07.980 --> 06:52:09.120
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So, number one,

asr-007320
06:52:10.600 --> 06:52:13.740
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: can the

asr-007321

Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: honorable chair

06:52:15.220 --> 06:52:17.680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: assure me na wala

asr-007323
06:52:17.680 --> 06:52:19.600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng party list

asr-007324
06:52:19.600 --> 06:52:21.600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na nakakapagpasok

asr-007325
06:52:22.640 --> 06:52:23.500
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng ganyang kalaking

asr-007326
06:52:23.500 --> 06:52:24.320
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: mga amounts?

asr-007327
06:52:26.720 --> 06:52:27.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Madam

asr-007328
06:52:27.580 --> 06:52:28.330
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Speaker.

asr-007328-split-2
06:52:28.330 --> 06:52:29.440
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yes. Okay. Thank you.

asr-007329
06:52:29.600 --> 06:52:31.880
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Number two,

asr-007330
06:52:33.220 --> 06:52:33.700
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I am not

asr-007331
06:52:33.700 --> 06:52:35.120
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: against party list

asr-007332
06:52:35.120 --> 06:52:37.760
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: proposing projects or requesting

asr-007333
06:52:37.760 --> 06:52:39.420
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: projects because they also have

asr-007334
06:52:39.420 --> 06:52:41.720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: constituencies. Naintindihan ko yan.

asr-007335
06:52:42.240 --> 06:52:43.820
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Wala akong pagtatalo

asr-007336
06:52:43.820 --> 06:52:44.060
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: dyan.

asr-007337
06:52:45.660 --> 06:52:46.860
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: But ang request ko lang,

asr-007338
06:52:47.580 --> 06:52:48.120
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Madam Chair,

asr-007339
06:52:49.460 --> 06:52:51.860
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: is if they have requests

asr-007340
06:52:51.860 --> 06:52:53.640
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: or projects that they

asr-007341
06:52:53.640 --> 06:52:54.520
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: want to sponsor,

asr-007342
06:52:55.380 --> 06:52:56.560
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: idaan naman muna nila sa

asr-007343
06:52:56.560 --> 06:52:58.760
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: DPWH. Hindi sa akin.

asr-007344
06:52:58.940 --> 06:52:59.100
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Hindi.

asr-007345
06:52:59.600 --> 06:53:01.320
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Wala akong problema, I think we should

asr-007346
06:53:01.320 --> 06:53:04.400
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: institutionalize it

asr-007347
06:53:04.400 --> 06:53:06.940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na kung ang district congressman

asr-007348
06:53:06.940 --> 06:53:09.280
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: pumipili doon sa RDC lang

asr-007349
06:53:09.280 --> 06:53:11.800
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng ilalagay doon sa distrito niya,

asr-007350
06:53:13.420 --> 06:53:14.020
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: sana naman,

asr-007351
06:53:14.520 --> 06:53:15.560
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: pati yung party list,

asr-007352
06:53:16.660 --> 06:53:18.260
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: dumaan din sila sa DPWH

asr-007353
06:53:18.260 --> 06:53:19.560
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: at doon sila mag-request

asr-007354
06:53:19.560 --> 06:53:21.140
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng projects. Pwede po ba yun?

asr-007355
06:53:22.720 --> 06:53:23.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker,

asr-007356
06:53:23.820 --> 06:53:25.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: distinguished colleagues, so what

asr-007357
06:53:25.200 --> 06:53:27.100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I can assure is whichever

asr-007358
06:53:27.100 --> 06:53:29.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: projects are included in the

asr-007359
06:53:29.600 --> 06:53:31.680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 2027 na HGAB

asr-007360
06:53:31.680 --> 06:53:33.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and eventually the GAA,

asr-007361
06:53:34.120 --> 06:53:35.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: maaayon po tayo doon po sa mga

asr-007362
06:53:35.900 --> 06:53:37.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: requirements noong nag-budget

asr-007363
06:53:37.900 --> 06:53:39.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: call po yung DBM. So

asr-007364
06:53:39.540 --> 06:53:41.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the same safeguards po, all

asr-007365
06:53:41.580 --> 06:53:43.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: documentary requirements and a lot

asr-007366
06:53:43.840 --> 06:53:45.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of the documentary requirements

asr-007367
06:53:45.720 --> 06:53:47.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: emanate from the DEOS

asr-007368
06:53:47.640 --> 06:53:50.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: themselves, yung BP-202,

asr-007369
06:53:50.740 --> 06:53:51.280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung mga

asr-007370
06:53:51.280 --> 06:53:53.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Certificate of Implementability,

asr-007371
06:53:53.760 --> 06:53:55.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: mga actual program of works,

asr-007372
06:53:56.060 --> 06:53:57.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yun po kasi yung mga RDC

asr-007373
06:53:57.900 --> 06:53:59.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: or MDC approvals.

asr-007374
06:53:59.600 --> 06:54:01.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'm missing one, geotagging

asr-007375
06:54:01.820 --> 06:54:03.940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at sa coordinates. Ito po kasi

asr-007376
06:54:03.940 --> 06:54:05.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung limang pamantayan na

asr-007377
06:54:05.820 --> 06:54:07.680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: talaga pong ginamit ng DBM noong

asr-007378
06:54:07.680 --> 06:54:09.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: budget call. So we will adhere to the same

asr-007379
06:54:09.660 --> 06:54:11.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: standards and make sure

asr-007380
06:54:11.960 --> 06:54:14.100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that all the projects in the HGAB

asr-007381
06:54:14.100 --> 06:54:15.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and the GAA adhere to the same

asr-007382
06:54:15.780 --> 06:54:16.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: standards po.

asr-007383
06:54:17.520 --> 06:54:19.120
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Yes po, so ibig sabihin po,

asr-007384
06:54:19.560 --> 06:54:21.420
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: DPWH po talaga ang

asr-007385
06:54:21.420 --> 06:54:23.680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: dapat magdaan. Kasi yung nangyari

asr-007386
06:54:23.680 --> 06:54:25.900
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: sa amin, I'm not

asr-007387
06:54:25.900 --> 06:54:27.680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: singling out any party list, kaya ayoko

asr-007388
06:54:27.680 --> 06:54:29.520
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: nang i-identify kung sino yung party list.

asr-007389
06:54:29.600 --> 06:54:31.660
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Nalaman ko rin later, prior

asr-007390
06:54:31.660 --> 06:54:33.600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: to that, hindi ko alam. Pero nalaman ko

asr-007391
06:54:33.600 --> 06:54:35.540
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: sa district engineer, may mga kumakausap

asr-007392
06:54:35.540 --> 06:54:37.420
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: sa kanila na gustong pa-implement.

asr-007393
06:54:37.560 --> 06:54:39.660
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Pero sabi nila, hindi implementable.

asr-007394
06:54:39.820 --> 06:54:41.620
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: So alam ko namin. So it's not about singling

asr-007395
06:54:41.620 --> 06:54:43.380
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: any party list because alam ko naman,

asr-007396
06:54:43.720 --> 06:54:45.840
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: may constituencies din naman

asr-007397
06:54:45.840 --> 06:54:46.740
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: yung party list, diba?

asr-007398
06:54:47.340 --> 06:54:49.600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I mean, if district congressmen have constituencies,

asr-007399
06:54:49.800 --> 06:54:51.460
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: party list representatives have

asr-007400
06:54:51.460 --> 06:54:53.560
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: constituencies, and party list

asr-007401
06:54:53.560 --> 06:54:54.860
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: party list

asr-007402
06:54:54.860 --> 06:54:57.260
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: representatives, constituencies

asr-007403
06:54:57.260 --> 06:54:59.520
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: are different from

asr-007404
06:54:59.520 --> 06:55:01.620
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: each other, diba? May party list

asr-007405
06:55:01.620 --> 06:55:02.940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na mas kailangan nila yung

asr-007406
06:55:02.940 --> 06:55:05.540
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: soft. May party list

asr-007407
06:55:05.540 --> 06:55:06.780
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na mas kailangan nila yung

asr-007408
06:55:06.780 --> 06:55:09.220
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: hard. Naiintindihan naman natin yun. But

asr-007409
06:55:09.220 --> 06:55:11.500
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ang hiling ko lang dito lagi

asr-007410
06:55:11.500 --> 06:55:13.400
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: is transparency

asr-007411
06:55:13.400 --> 06:55:15.000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: and accountability.

asr-007412
06:55:15.900 --> 06:55:17.040
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Let's be transparent.

asr-007413
06:55:17.360 --> 06:55:20.180
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Huwag na nating sabihin na hindi nakakapag-request

asr-007414
06:55:20.180 --> 06:55:21.860
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng proyekto yung party list

asr-007415
06:55:21.860 --> 06:55:23.940
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: kasi nakakapag-request naman sila

asr-007416
06:55:23.940 --> 06:55:25.600
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: talaga, diba? So let's just

asr-007417
06:55:25.600 --> 06:55:27.380
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: be open about that.

asr-007418
06:55:28.520 --> 06:55:29.380
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Kasi the more we

asr-007419
06:55:29.520 --> 06:55:31.080
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: deny na nakakapag-request,

asr-007420
06:55:31.440 --> 06:55:33.140
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: lalong lumalabas parang may masama

asr-007421
06:55:33.140 --> 06:55:35.180
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: na mag-request yung party list.

asr-007422
06:55:35.260 --> 06:55:37.200
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Eh wala naman masama eh. Congressman naman sila eh.

asr-007423
06:55:37.460 --> 06:55:39.100
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: May constituency naman sila.

asr-007424
06:55:39.380 --> 06:55:41.320
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Kung napagbigyan ng DPWH at nakita

asr-007425
06:55:41.320 --> 06:55:43.220
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng DPWH na kailangan yung proyekto,

asr-007426
06:55:43.300 --> 06:55:45.440
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ano bang masama dun? Ang sinasabi ko lang,

asr-007427
06:55:45.820 --> 06:55:46.720
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: let's be transparent.

asr-007428
06:55:47.020 --> 06:55:49.340
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: Pakita natin, ito yung sa district, ito yung sa

asr-007429
06:55:49.340 --> 06:55:51.000
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: party list. Because mahirap din eh.

asr-007430
06:55:51.400 --> 06:55:53.100
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: For example, nag-request yung party list

asr-007431
06:55:53.100 --> 06:55:54.960
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: ng isang proyekto na ipagawa.

asr-007432
06:55:56.820 --> 06:55:57.260
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: I hope you

asr-007433
06:55:57.260 --> 06:55:59.160
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: understand. I'm sure you will understand this

asr-007434
06:55:59.520 --> 06:56:00.780
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: because you're a district congresswoman.

asr-007435
06:56:01.440 --> 06:56:03.680
Rep. Tobias "Toby" M. Tiangco: For example, hindi lahat po ng request

asr-007847
07:11:31.500 --> 07:11:32.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yun po yung

asr-007848
07:11:32.300 --> 07:11:34.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: hindi po arbitrary, yung

asr-007849
07:11:34.820 --> 07:11:37.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pag-set po ng 45.67

asr-007850
07:11:37.060 --> 07:11:37.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion pesos,

asr-007851
07:11:38.380 --> 07:11:40.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nakadepende pa rin po sa utilization

asr-007852
07:11:40.860 --> 07:11:42.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: rate and anticipated

asr-007853
07:11:42.900 --> 07:11:44.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: potential

asr-007854
07:11:44.560 --> 07:11:46.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: climate and disaster related shocks

asr-007855
07:11:46.900 --> 07:11:48.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po, pare sa taong 2027.

asr-007856
07:11:49.180 --> 07:11:50.660
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Speaker, Distinguished

asr-007857
07:11:50.660 --> 07:11:52.840
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Sponsor, yun lang pong follow-up question ko

asr-007858
07:11:52.840 --> 07:11:53.980
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: dun sa tanong about

asr-007859
07:11:54.980 --> 07:11:56.220
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: the budget na

asr-007860
07:11:56.860 --> 07:11:58.440
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: 45.67 billion,

asr-007861
07:11:58.440 --> 07:12:01.240
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ano pong mangyayari

asr-007862
07:12:01.240 --> 07:12:03.000
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: kapag ito po ay naubos sa

asr-007863
07:12:03.000 --> 07:12:05.000
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: kalagitnaan ng tagtuyot?

asr-007864
07:12:07.920 --> 07:12:09.760
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: At sinasabi natin, malaking chance

asr-007865
07:12:09.760 --> 07:12:11.740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: na mauubos ito, kasi nga po,

asr-007866
07:12:11.740 --> 07:12:14.200
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: given yung naging record ng loss

asr-007867
07:12:14.200 --> 07:12:16.840
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: at immensity, nung huling

asr-007868
07:12:16.840 --> 07:12:19.300
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: El Nino noong 2020, 2024,

asr-007869
07:12:19.300 --> 07:12:20.620
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: parang medyo malayo po yung

asr-007870
07:12:20.620 --> 07:12:23.540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: amount na ito sa kakailanganin.

asr-007871
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.

asr-007872
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.

asr-007873
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.

asr-007874
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,

asr-007875
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.

asr-007876
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

asr-007877
07:13:13.980 --> 07:13:18.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po pwedeng ma-reallocate po doon po sa pangangailangan.

asr-007878
07:13:19.540 --> 07:13:20.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sa ibang mga ahensya.

asr-007879
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.

asr-007880
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.

asr-007881
07:13:38.460 --> 07:13:42.260
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Punta naman po tayo sa usapin ulit ng Local Government Support Fund.

asr-007882
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?

asr-007883
07:13:49.540 --> 07:13:51.760
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ito sa GAA for 2027.

asr-007884
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.

asr-007885
07:14:13.040 --> 07:14:16.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, my apologies po.

asr-007886
07:14:16.660 --> 07:14:18.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May one comment upon the previous response.

asr-007887
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.

asr-007888
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.

asr-007889
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.

asr-007890
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.

asr-007891
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.

asr-007892
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.

asr-007893
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,

asr-007894
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.

asr-007895
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?

asr-007896
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.

asr-007897
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,

asr-007898
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

asr-007899
07:15:55.160 --> 07:15:58.280
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ng Supreme Court sa Belgica v. Ochoa?

asr-007900
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.

asr-007901
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.,

asr-007902
07:16:23.940 --> 07:16:25.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: has already ruled that,

asr-007903
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

asr-007904
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.

asr-007905
07:16:40.240 --> 07:16:43.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It satisfies both the completeness and sufficient standard test.

asr-007906
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.

asr-007907
07:16:54.000 --> 07:16:55.140
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Speaker,

asr-007908
07:16:55.180 --> 07:16:56.000
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Distinguished Sponsor,

asr-007909
07:16:56.440 --> 07:16:59.580
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: sigurado po ako na unawaan niyo where our reservation is coming from,

asr-007910
07:17:00.100 --> 07:17:03.880
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: particularly po dito sa highly discretionary na nature ng pondo.

asr-007911
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,

asr-007912
07:17:13.400 --> 07:17:15.960
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ano ba talaga yung rules that govern this.

asr-007913
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.

asr-007914
07:17:21.780 --> 07:17:24.020
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ito pong larger assistance window does not.

asr-007915
07:17:24.020 --> 07:17:25.020
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: It turns on a scorecard.

asr-007916
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.

asr-007917
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,

asr-007918
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.

asr-007919
07:17:42.800 --> 07:17:44.460
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

asr-007920
07:17:51.340 --> 07:17:54.940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, I have here in my possession,

asr-007921
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.

asr-007922
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.

asr-007923
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.

asr-007924
07:18:19.380 --> 07:18:22.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So there are several areas we're looking at.

asr-007925
07:18:22.240 --> 07:18:24.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So it's good financial housekeeping.

asr-007926
07:18:24.060 --> 07:18:29.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Functionality of the Local Development Council, Compliance with Subaybayan Reporting Requirements,

asr-007927
07:18:29.060 --> 07:18:33.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Financial Accomplishment, Physical Accomplishment, and Additional Criteria.

asr-007928
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.

asr-007929
07:18:37.060 --> 07:18:41.060
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Maraming salamat po Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

asr-007930
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.

asr-007931
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?

asr-007932
07:18:53.060 --> 07:18:53.540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Can a project

asr-007933
07:18:53.540 --> 07:18:57.540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: be declared abandoned even before the contract is awarded?

asr-007934
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.

asr-007935
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.

asr-007936
07:19:23.540 --> 07:19:24.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: At their level.

asr-007937
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.

asr-007938
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,

asr-007939
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.

asr-007940
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.

asr-007941
07:19:55.540 --> 07:19:58.540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Let me now go to the last set of questions.

asr-007942
07:19:58.540 --> 07:20:00.540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Pasensya na po, I promise 15 minutes.

asr-007943
07:20:00.540 --> 07:20:02.540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Nag-exceed na po tayo ng 3 minutes.

asr-007944
07:20:02.540 --> 07:20:06.540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Subukan po natin hanggang 20 minutes, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague.

asr-007945
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.

asr-007946
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.

asr-007947
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.

asr-007948
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.

asr-007949
07:20:38.540 --> 07:20:44.540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Again, 97 billion is in the GAA ang nailabas na thus far.

asr-007950
07:20:44.540 --> 07:20:47.540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: August, 120.1 billion.

asr-007951
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?

asr-007952
07:21:15.540 --> 07:21:16.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker,

asr-007953
07:21:16.540 --> 07:21:17.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Distinguished Colleague,

asr-007954
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,

asr-007955
07:21:44.540 --> 07:21:46.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

asr-007956
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,

asr-007957
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,

asr-007958
07:22:02.540 --> 07:22:05.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: tumaas po doon sa nakaprogram na 97.

asr-007959
07:22:05.540 --> 07:22:08.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: As of September po kasi itong tinitingnan ko.

asr-007960
07:22:08.540 --> 07:22:13.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Mula po sa 97.3 billion, pataas po sa 129 billion.

asr-007961
07:22:13.540 --> 07:22:14.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Taba po iyon.

asr-007962
07:22:14.540 --> 07:22:15.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Taba po iyon.

asr-007963
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,

asr-007964
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.

asr-007965
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.

asr-007966
07:22:43.540 --> 07:22:45.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Saan po nang galing yun?

asr-007967
07:22:45.540 --> 07:22:46.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yung additional amount.

asr-007968
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,

asr-007969
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.

asr-007970
07:22:59.540 --> 07:23:00.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ayan po.

asr-007971
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

asr-007972
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.

asr-007973
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,

asr-007974
07:23:17.540 --> 07:23:21.540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: lagpas pa doon sa mismong inaprobahan natin dito sa Kongreso.

asr-007975
07:23:21.540 --> 07:23:23.540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Let me move on po to another issue.

asr-007976
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.

asr-007977
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,

asr-007978
07:23:41.540 --> 07:23:43.540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: replaces discipline.

asr-007979
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.

asr-007980
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

asr-007981
07:24:00.540 --> 07:24:05.540
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: at hindi sa appropriations ng mismong ahensya na may tiyak na allotment?

asr-007983
07:24:23.520 --> 07:24:25.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague

asr-007984
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.

asr-007985
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

asr-007986
07:24:39.280 --> 07:24:40.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: NEP,

asr-007987
07:24:40.080 --> 07:24:41.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ay nag-abang po ng

asr-007988
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.

asr-007989
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?

asr-007990
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.

asr-007991
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.

asr-007992
07:25:31.900 --> 07:25:34.900
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Pagdating po sa pera na dapat po binalik natin sa PDIC.

asr-007993
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.

asr-007994
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.

asr-007995
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.

asr-007996
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.

asr-007997
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.

asr-007998
07:26:27.020 --> 07:26:29.680
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: We further ask that this becomes the standard.

asr-007999
07:26:29.960 --> 07:26:31.020
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: This becomes the standard for...

asr-008000
07:26:31.900 --> 07:26:32.860
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ...form of reporting.

asr-008001
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.

asr-008002
07:26:38.020 --> 07:26:42.360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Yun lamang po, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague. Marami pong salamat, Madam Sponsor.

asr-008003
07:26:43.160 --> 07:26:43.960
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Majority Leader.

asr-008004
07:26:45.220 --> 07:26:46.800
Rep. Ramon Rodrigo "Rodge" L. Gutierrez: Madam Speaker, next to interpellate...

asr-008005
07:26:46.800 --> 07:26:50.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, if I may quickly respond po, my apologies.

asr-008006
07:26:50.700 --> 07:26:53.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: With regard to the request po of our Distinguished Colleague...

asr-008007
07:26:57.400 --> 07:27:01.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes po, DBM assures that they will provide po.

asr-008008
07:27:01.900 --> 07:27:06.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The data from 2022 to 2020...

asr-008009
07:27:06.760 --> 07:27:07.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kaya na ba 2020?

asr-008010
07:27:09.460 --> 07:27:12.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Up to half year 2020?

asr-008011
07:27:13.420 --> 07:27:15.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Up to the latest information po.

asr-008012
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.

asr-008013
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.

asr-008014
07:27:29.860 --> 07:27:31.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: In terms of the...

asr-008015
07:27:31.900 --> 07:27:35.520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ...UA total expenditure program ratio.

asr-008016
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.

asr-008017
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.

asr-008018
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.

asr-008019
07:28:08.440 --> 07:28:11.320
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Maraming salamat, Madam Chair, at maraming salamat po, Madam Speaker.

asr-008020
07:28:11.840 --> 07:28:12.480
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Majority Leader.

asr-008021
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.

asr-008022
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.

asr-008023
07:28:25.460 --> 07:28:30.240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor, sa DBM po, magandang gabi.

asr-008024
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.

asr-008025
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.

asr-008026
07:28:54.380 --> 07:28:59.020
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Nung nakaraang linggo, muli po natin itong itinanong sa DBM.

asr-008027
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.

asr-008028
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.

asr-008029
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?

asr-008030
07:30:18.860 --> 07:30:20.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

asr-008031
07:30:20.460 --> 07:30:22.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the DBM commits po, they do have

asr-008032
07:30:22.540 --> 07:30:24.180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the figure, and they will

asr-008033
07:30:24.180 --> 07:30:26.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: give the same po to our

asr-008034
07:30:26.400 --> 07:30:27.380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Distinguished Colleague.

asr-008035
07:30:28.240 --> 07:30:29.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Up to what level?

asr-008036
07:30:35.960 --> 07:30:36.500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Every year.

asr-008037
07:30:36.680 --> 07:30:39.000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Madam Speaker, Distinguished

asr-008038
07:30:39.000 --> 07:30:40.540
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Sponsor, ganito na lang po.

asr-008039
07:30:41.200 --> 07:30:43.120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Unang-una, I really find

asr-008040
07:30:43.120 --> 07:30:45.060
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: it a little bit disappointing for the

asr-008041
07:30:45.060 --> 07:30:46.540
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: DBM to not have the

asr-008042
07:30:46.540 --> 07:30:49.040
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: data right now, when in fact, I already

asr-008043
07:30:49.040 --> 07:30:50.920
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: asked that last time. They should

asr-008044
07:30:50.920 --> 07:30:52.860
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: have prepared the data today.

asr-008045
07:30:54.200 --> 07:30:55.120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So anyway,

asr-008046
07:30:55.500 --> 07:30:56.840
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: meron po akong figure

asr-008047
07:30:56.840 --> 07:30:58.240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: galing po sa PhilHealth.

asr-008048
07:30:58.660 --> 07:30:59.980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Baka po pwedeng i-confirm.

asr-008049
07:31:00.000 --> 07:31:01.100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: I-confirm na lamang po ng

asr-008050
07:31:01.100 --> 07:31:03.880
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: DBM ito. Ito po ang listahan

asr-008051
07:31:03.880 --> 07:31:05.800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ng kakulangan ng

asr-008052
07:31:05.800 --> 07:31:07.360
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: PhilHealth sa DBM,

asr-008053
07:31:07.360 --> 07:31:09.240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ng DBM sa PhilHealth.

asr-008054
07:31:10.020 --> 07:31:11.720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Yung kakulangan po sa

asr-008055
07:31:11.720 --> 07:31:13.620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: sin tax, PAGCOR,

asr-008056
07:31:14.040 --> 07:31:15.760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: and PCSO based on

asr-008057
07:31:15.760 --> 07:31:17.960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: collection, ay total po

asr-008058
07:31:17.960 --> 07:31:20.060
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: is 199 billion.

asr-008059
07:31:20.880 --> 07:31:22.000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: 133 billion

asr-008060
07:31:22.540 --> 07:31:24.160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: sa sin tax earmarks

asr-008061
07:31:24.160 --> 07:31:25.500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: po yan. Yung

asr-008062
07:31:25.500 --> 07:31:27.800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: 62.22 sa

asr-008063
07:31:27.800 --> 07:31:29.340
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: PAGCOR and PCSO.

asr-008064
07:31:30.000 --> 07:31:31.560
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Bukod dyan sa 199

asr-008065
07:31:31.560 --> 07:31:33.280
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: billion na yan,

asr-008066
07:31:33.740 --> 07:31:35.140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: meron pong variance na

asr-008067
07:31:35.140 --> 07:31:37.920
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: 112 billion. Yan naman

asr-008068
07:31:37.920 --> 07:31:39.940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: po ang difference ng GAA

asr-008069
07:31:39.940 --> 07:31:42.100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: versus actual release.

asr-008070
07:31:42.580 --> 07:31:44.120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So ang total na kakulangan

asr-008071
07:31:44.120 --> 07:31:46.160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: po ng DBM

asr-008072
07:31:46.160 --> 07:31:47.880
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: sa PhilHealth ay pumapatak

asr-008073
07:31:47.880 --> 07:31:50.000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: po na 311.4

asr-008074
07:31:50.940 --> 07:31:51.820
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: billion.

asr-008075
07:31:52.740 --> 07:31:54.080
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So malapit po ba

asr-008076
07:31:54.080 --> 07:31:56.100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ang figure ng DBM dyan?

asr-008077
07:31:56.720 --> 07:31:58.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.

asr-008078
07:31:58.120 --> 07:31:59.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Our apologies po. The Director,

asr-008079
07:32:00.000 --> 07:32:02.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in charge of the data, stepped

asr-008080
07:32:02.120 --> 07:32:04.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: out, but she's back po. So we

asr-008081
07:32:04.040 --> 07:32:05.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: can provide the

asr-008082
07:32:05.540 --> 07:32:07.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: data right now po.

asr-008083
07:32:08.160 --> 07:32:10.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Madam Speaker.

asr-008084
07:32:10.320 --> 07:32:12.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: In the interest of time po,

asr-008085
07:32:12.260 --> 07:32:13.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if we may request po for a quick

asr-008086
07:32:13.960 --> 07:32:15.940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: suspension, Madam Speaker, so I can

07:32:15.940 --> 07:32:17.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: furnish a copy to our distinguished

07:32:17.920 --> 07:32:19.030
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: colleague po.

asr-008088-split-2
07:32:19.030 --> 07:32:19.820
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Session is suspended.

asr-008095
07:35:41.360 --> 07:35:48.350
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Session is resumed.

asr-008095-split-2
07:35:48.350 --> 07:35:49.400
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Please continue.

asr-008095-split-3
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.

asr-008096
07:36:00.000 --> 07:36:08.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For DOH, it's 143.878 billion pesos.

asr-008097
07:36:09.220 --> 07:36:16.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But this is excluding the PAGCOR and PCSO contributions.

asr-008098
07:36:17.260 --> 07:36:21.620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleagues.

asr-008099
07:36:22.100 --> 07:36:25.500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Siguro po, maaari po ba ako mag-request ng pag-uusap,

asr-008100
07:36:25.500 --> 07:36:28.420
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na mag-reconcile, siguro,

asr-008101
07:36:28.540 --> 07:36:29.980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kasi it's been going on for so long,

asr-008102
07:36:30.000 --> 07:36:32.440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kanina po, tinanong ko sa DOF,

asr-008103
07:36:32.760 --> 07:36:35.960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: meron po silang binigay sa akin na official communication

asr-008104
07:36:35.960 --> 07:36:37.840
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: about the total collections,

asr-008105
07:36:37.980 --> 07:36:41.800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: but it is not disaggregated to specifically point out

asr-008106
07:36:41.800 --> 07:36:46.460
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: how much is for the UHC.

asr-008107
07:36:46.820 --> 07:36:51.100
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: But since the UHC law is very clear on the earmarking,

asr-008108
07:36:51.180 --> 07:36:54.480
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: my office tried to compute kung exactly how much

asr-008109
07:36:54.480 --> 07:36:56.440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: based on the figure of the DOF.

asr-008110
07:36:56.440 --> 07:36:59.920
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And my figures are actually near to,

asr-008111
07:37:00.000 --> 07:37:02.000
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: the figures of the PhilHealth.

asr-008112
07:37:02.660 --> 07:37:07.780
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, medyo, doon lang po ako parang nadidisappoint,

asr-008113
07:37:07.920 --> 07:37:09.880
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor,

asr-008114
07:37:10.240 --> 07:37:12.660
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kasi tinuturo po ng DOF,

asr-008115
07:37:12.760 --> 07:37:14.620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ang DBM na should have known

asr-008116
07:37:14.620 --> 07:37:18.460
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung magkano ang dapat na ibinibigay sa PhilHealth.

asr-008117
07:37:18.700 --> 07:37:21.580
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: That it's not their duty na mag-compute

asr-008118
07:37:21.580 --> 07:37:24.300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: because what they do is just to collect everything.

asr-008119
07:37:24.300 --> 07:37:28.520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: It's the DBM's duty and job to,

asr-008120
07:37:28.680 --> 07:37:29.500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: um,

asr-008121
07:37:29.500 --> 07:37:32.780
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: disaggregate kung how much will go to PhilHealth.

asr-008122
07:37:33.560 --> 07:37:37.040
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, baka diyan po ang unang problema natin

asr-008123
07:37:37.040 --> 07:37:39.900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung bakit patuloy ang underfunding ng PhilHealth

asr-008124
07:37:39.900 --> 07:37:42.660
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kasi mismo po ang DBM hindi alam

asr-008125
07:37:42.660 --> 07:37:45.760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung magkano ang ibibigay para sa PhilHealth.

asr-008126
07:37:46.160 --> 07:37:49.120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, um, I guess it's about time that the DBM,

asr-008127
07:37:49.300 --> 07:37:51.720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: the DOH, and PhilHealth sit down together

asr-008128
07:37:51.720 --> 07:37:53.960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: pag-usapan po talaga ito.

asr-008129
07:37:54.240 --> 07:37:59.160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Malinaw po kasi ang lingwahe ng batas na UHC.

asr-008130
07:37:59.500 --> 07:38:01.500
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: May earmarking po yan.

asr-008131
07:38:01.660 --> 07:38:02.560
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And additionally,

asr-008132
07:38:03.360 --> 07:38:04.300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Madam Chair,

asr-008133
07:38:04.440 --> 07:38:05.940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Madam Speaker,

asr-008134
07:38:06.420 --> 07:38:08.400
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Distinguished Sponsor,

asr-008135
07:38:08.840 --> 07:38:09.800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: last year,

asr-008136
07:38:11.060 --> 07:38:14.900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: naglabas po ang desisyon ng Korte Suprema

asr-008137
07:38:14.900 --> 07:38:18.240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: tungkol sa pagbababalik ng 60 billion.

asr-008138
07:38:18.540 --> 07:38:19.620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kaya nga po binalik.

asr-008139
07:38:19.980 --> 07:38:21.740
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: And part of the decision,

asr-008140
07:38:22.200 --> 07:38:23.800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: malinaw na naman po

asr-008141
07:38:23.800 --> 07:38:26.480
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na sinasabi ng Korte Suprema

asr-008142
07:38:26.480 --> 07:38:29.220
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: the allocation of PhilHealth funds

asr-008143
07:38:29.220 --> 07:38:29.480
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: at the allocation of PhilHealth funds

asr-008144
07:38:29.500 --> 07:38:31.320
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: under the UHC,

asr-008145
07:38:31.760 --> 07:38:33.540
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Kino-quote ko pa to sa desisyon,

asr-008146
07:38:33.660 --> 07:38:36.460
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: are fixed by the sin tax laws

asr-008147
07:38:36.460 --> 07:38:39.140
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: and merely passed through the GAA.

asr-008148
07:38:39.740 --> 07:38:40.760
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: In the same vein,

asr-008149
07:38:40.940 --> 07:38:43.280
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: the earmarking of the sin tax measures

asr-008150
07:38:43.280 --> 07:38:50.940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: under RA 93-4, 10-351, 11-346, 11-467

asr-008151
07:38:50.940 --> 07:38:54.340
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: constitutes an automatic appropriation

asr-008152
07:38:54.340 --> 07:38:56.580
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: in favor of PhilHealth.

asr-008153
07:38:57.080 --> 07:38:58.980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Meron pa isang portion po doon.

asr-008154
07:38:58.980 --> 07:39:01.680
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: The earmarking provisions of sin taxes

asr-008155
07:39:01.680 --> 07:39:05.900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: leave no room for any form of discretion

asr-008156
07:39:05.900 --> 07:39:10.060
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: as to the disposition of the specific allocations

asr-008157
07:39:10.060 --> 07:39:12.540
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: for very specific purposes.

asr-008158
07:39:13.100 --> 07:39:15.720
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: The earmarked excise taxes, therefore,

asr-008159
07:39:16.260 --> 07:39:18.780
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: cannot be changed or transferred

asr-008160
07:39:18.780 --> 07:39:21.800
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: by any government agency

asr-008161
07:39:21.800 --> 07:39:24.220
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: for any other purpose.

asr-008162
07:39:24.580 --> 07:39:27.440
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: I do not know kung malabo pa po ba ito.

asr-008163
07:39:27.440 --> 07:39:28.960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Ang linaw-linaw po.

asr-008164
07:39:28.960 --> 07:39:31.240
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ng lingwahin ng batas,

asr-008165
07:39:31.580 --> 07:39:33.400
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: hindi ko po maintindihan

asr-008166
07:39:33.400 --> 07:39:36.960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung bakit na naman dito sa proposed 2027 budget

asr-008167
07:39:37.720 --> 07:39:40.420
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: hindi na naman natin maibibigay

asr-008168
07:39:40.420 --> 07:39:42.980
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ang tamang share ng PhilHealth

asr-008169
07:39:42.980 --> 07:39:44.960
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: mula sa koleksyon ng sin taxes

asr-008170
07:39:45.760 --> 07:39:47.900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ng PagCore at PCSO.

asr-008171
07:39:48.300 --> 07:39:49.160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Yun lamang po,

asr-008172
07:39:49.840 --> 07:39:51.300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: gusto ko lamang po,

asr-008173
07:39:52.020 --> 07:39:53.660
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Madam Speaker,

asr-008174
07:39:54.060 --> 07:39:55.120
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Distinguished Sponsor,

asr-008175
07:39:55.200 --> 07:39:56.300
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: na maliwanagan

asr-008176
07:39:56.300 --> 07:39:58.200
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kasi hindi ko na po alam

asr-008177
07:39:58.200 --> 07:39:58.940
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung ano po ang

asr-008178
07:39:58.960 --> 07:40:01.220
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: pwedeng dahilan na maibigay

asr-008179
07:40:01.220 --> 07:40:03.880
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung bakit hindi po ito mabigyan

asr-008180
07:40:03.880 --> 07:40:05.420
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: ng tamang pagpupondo.

asr-008181
07:40:05.920 --> 07:40:06.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker,

asr-008182
07:40:06.840 --> 07:40:07.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Distinguished Colleague,

asr-008183
07:40:07.780 --> 07:40:09.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I agree with you completely po.

asr-008184
07:40:09.780 --> 07:40:11.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: This is something that we've discussed

asr-008185
07:40:11.660 --> 07:40:12.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at length also

asr-008186
07:40:12.700 --> 07:40:14.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with the Honorable Montes

asr-008187
07:40:14.580 --> 07:40:15.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: since last year

asr-008188
07:40:15.460 --> 07:40:16.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: during the interpellations

asr-008189
07:40:16.740 --> 07:40:17.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and I agree po.

asr-008190
07:40:18.100 --> 07:40:19.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: What I'm happy with

asr-008191
07:40:19.960 --> 07:40:22.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is that Secretary Kim De Leon

asr-008192
07:40:22.720 --> 07:40:24.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: gives his assurance

asr-008193
07:40:24.080 --> 07:40:25.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that he would be very happy

asr-008194
07:40:25.840 --> 07:40:27.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to have that discussion

asr-008195
07:40:27.440 --> 07:40:28.620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: among the people

asr-008196
07:40:28.620 --> 07:40:30.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of PhilHealth,

asr-008197
07:40:31.280 --> 07:40:33.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the Honorable Montes,

asr-008198
07:40:33.580 --> 07:40:34.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with BTR,

asr-008199
07:40:35.020 --> 07:40:35.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and with DBM

asr-008200
07:40:35.820 --> 07:40:38.100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to reconcile all of the figures po.

asr-008201
07:40:38.480 --> 07:40:39.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ang nangyayari po kasi,

asr-008202
07:40:40.240 --> 07:40:42.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: which I agree with,

asr-008203
07:40:42.120 --> 07:40:43.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with Sec Kim,

asr-008204
07:40:43.520 --> 07:40:44.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: there's a delay po kasi.

asr-008205
07:40:44.940 --> 07:40:46.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's a time lag

asr-008206
07:40:46.000 --> 07:40:48.520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from the time that the BTR,

asr-008207
07:40:48.700 --> 07:40:49.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: there's a delay

asr-008208
07:40:49.340 --> 07:40:52.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the certification released by the BTR.

asr-008209
07:40:52.640 --> 07:40:53.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, it's not,

asr-008210
07:40:54.000 --> 07:40:55.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it doesn't just happen with PhilHealth,

asr-008211
07:40:55.660 --> 07:40:56.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: halimbawa po,

asr-008212
07:40:56.420 --> 07:40:58.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: even with RCEF.

asr-008213
07:40:58.620 --> 07:40:59.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That's also one of my

asr-008214
07:40:59.880 --> 07:41:01.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: biggest frustrations po

asr-008215
07:41:01.900 --> 07:41:03.100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that there's a delay

asr-008216
07:41:03.100 --> 07:41:04.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the release of these

asr-008217
07:41:04.480 --> 07:41:06.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: earmarked funds

asr-008218
07:41:06.120 --> 07:41:07.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to the SAG-Fs

asr-008219
07:41:07.820 --> 07:41:09.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because of the delay

asr-008220
07:41:09.140 --> 07:41:10.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the certification of BTR.

asr-008221
07:41:10.700 --> 07:41:12.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, we'll reconcile po.

asr-008222
07:41:15.080 --> 07:41:15.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sec Kim po

asr-008223
07:41:15.960 --> 07:41:16.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: would be very happy

asr-008224
07:41:16.780 --> 07:41:18.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to engage in that conversation.

asr-008225
07:41:18.740 --> 07:41:19.700
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Thank you, distinguished

asr-008226

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: sponsor, Madam Speaker.

asr-008227
07:41:24.380 --> 07:41:25.480
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: Distinguished sponsor,

asr-008228
07:41:25.480 --> 07:41:27.160
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kasi po yung ginagamit natin

asr-008229
07:41:27.160 --> 07:41:28.600
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: earmarking for PhilHealth,

asr-008230
07:41:28.620 --> 07:41:30.520
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: halimbawa for 2027,

asr-008231
07:41:31.020 --> 07:41:33.460
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: 2025 pong collections yun.

asr-008232
07:41:34.400 --> 07:41:35.900
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: So, I don't think there is

asr-008233
07:41:35.900 --> 07:41:36.620
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: a reason

asr-008234
07:41:37.180 --> 07:41:39.340
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes: kung bakit po madi-delay yun.

asr-008235
07:41:40.760 --> 07:41:41.580

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.

asr-008376
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.

asr-008377
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.

asr-008378
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

asr-008379
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.

asr-008388
07:49:40.270 --> 07:49:45.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, upon conferring with DBM,

asr-008389
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,

asr-008390
07:49:53.440 --> 07:49:56.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: meron na po siyang kaakibat na listahan.

asr-008391
07:49:56.240 --> 07:50:00.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Meron sa kanila, hindi po ina-attach doon sa mismong NEP,

asr-008392
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

asr-008393
07:50:07.140 --> 07:50:09.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po sa growth equity fund sa NEP.

asr-008394
07:50:09.820 --> 07:50:13.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: However, that's actually not an attachment to the NEP,

asr-008395
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.

asr-008396
07:50:22.300 --> 07:50:25.620
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Madam Speaker,

asr-008397
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.

asr-008398
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.

asr-008399
07:50:38.940 --> 07:50:39.500
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Tama po ba?

asr-008400
07:50:55.620 --> 07:51:11.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ...

asr-008401
07:51:11.080 --> 07:51:13.280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

asr-008402
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

asr-008403
07:51:22.700 --> 07:51:25.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na pupapasok po.

asr-008404
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.

asr-008405
07:51:33.080 --> 07:51:35.940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Halimbawa po, magbibigay lang po ako ng example,

asr-008406
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.

asr-008407
07:51:45.880 --> 07:51:50.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Meron na pong identified amount dito na 51.5 million pesos.

asr-008408
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.

asr-008409
07:51:55.620 --> 07:52:01.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Meron po silang total allocation of 463.5 million.

asr-008410
07:52:01.440 --> 07:52:07.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So meron pong designated amount per LGU.

asr-008411
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,

asr-008412
07:52:15.680 --> 07:52:19.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it still depends po on what the LGUs will request.

asr-008413
07:52:19.220 --> 07:52:23.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But there are guidelines that govern.

asr-008414
07:52:23.660 --> 07:52:25.520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The types of projects.

asr-008415
07:52:25.620 --> 07:52:26.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That can be released to them.

asr-008416
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.

asr-008417
07:52:33.240 --> 07:52:35.040
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat Madam Speaker.

asr-008418
07:52:35.600 --> 07:52:40.180
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Meron na daw clear identification noong mga LGUs na makakatanggap.

asr-008419
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.

asr-008420
07:52:51.100 --> 07:52:54.540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At sinabi rin ang ating distinguished sponsor na meron namang guidelines.

asr-008421
07:52:54.540 --> 07:52:55.540
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngunit nababalik.

asr-008422
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.

asr-008423
07:53:03.040 --> 07:53:09.040
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Yan po ay nangyari ng 2022, 2023, 2025, 2026.

asr-008424
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,

asr-008425
07:53:24.340 --> 07:53:26.760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: at iba pang mga relevant agencies.

asr-008426
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,

asr-008427
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.

asr-008428
07:53:49.100 --> 07:53:53.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, I agree po with the Honorable Elago.

asr-008429
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.

asr-008430
07:54:07.940 --> 07:54:10.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yun lang po yung kasalukuyan na nakalagay sa GAA.

asr-008431
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,

asr-008433
07:54:18.300 --> 07:54:21.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If we so wish po.

asr-008434
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.

asr-008435
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.

asr-008436
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,

asr-008437
07:54:47.320 --> 07:54:51.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ay pwedeng kapag na-develop po ng guidelines patungkol dito,

asr-008438
07:54:51.780 --> 07:54:55.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kailangan pong kunin yung approval ng Kongreso.

asr-008439
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

asr-008440
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.

asr-008441
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.

asr-008442
07:55:20.540 --> 07:55:20.820
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ayan.

asr-008443
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.

asr-008444
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.

asr-008445
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.

asr-008446
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.

asr-008447
07:55:50.820 --> 07:55:51.160
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ng tao.

asr-008448
07:55:51.520 --> 07:55:54.760
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor.

asr-008449
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.

asr-008450
07:56:01.480 --> 07:56:02.220
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maraming salamat.

asr-008451
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.

asr-008452
07:56:07.040 --> 07:56:08.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much po.

asr-008453
07:56:09.140 --> 07:56:09.700
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Majority Leader.

asr-008454
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.

asr-008455
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.

asr-008456
07:56:26.560 --> 07:56:30.560
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Magandang gabi po, Madam Speaker. Maraming salamat po.

asr-008457
07:56:30.760 --> 07:56:33.180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And magandang gabi rin po to the Distinguished Sponsor.

asr-008458
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

asr-008459
07:56:47.520 --> 07:56:50.800
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang support to the Barangay Development Program of the NTF-ELCAC.

asr-008460
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.

asr-008461
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.

asr-008462
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.

asr-008463
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.

asr-008464
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.

asr-008465
07:57:49.740 --> 07:57:50.180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2022,

asr-008466
07:57:50.820 --> 07:57:54.220
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 4 million each for the 1,406 barangays.

asr-008467
07:57:55.000 --> 07:57:55.560
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2023,

asr-008468
07:57:56.320 --> 07:58:00.220
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 6.6 million each for 959 barangays.

asr-008469
07:58:01.160 --> 07:58:01.520

asr-008470
07:58:01.900 --> 07:58:05.040
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2.5 million each for 864 barangays.

asr-008471
07:58:05.200 --> 07:58:05.480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2025,

asr-008472
07:58:05.860 --> 07:58:08.960
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2.5 million each for 780 barangays.

asr-008473
07:58:09.580 --> 07:58:10.280
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2026,

asr-008474
07:58:10.500 --> 07:58:12.860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 10 million each for 808 barangays.

asr-008475
07:58:13.020 --> 07:58:13.580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And ngayon po,

asr-008476
07:58:13.680 --> 07:58:17.020
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 5 million each for 1,948 barangays.

asr-008477
07:58:17.640 --> 07:58:18.140
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker,

asr-008478
07:58:18.260 --> 07:58:19.100
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Good Sponsor,

asr-008479
07:58:19.740 --> 07:58:20.800
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: hindi pa rin po

asr-008480
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.

asr-008481
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.

asr-008482
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.

asr-008483
07:58:49.600 --> 07:58:49.720
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Thank you.

asr-008484
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?

asr-008485
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.?

asr-008486
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?

asr-008487
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.

asr-008488
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.

asr-008489
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.

asr-008490
07:59:48.640 --> 07:59:50.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For 2022, 1,000.

asr-008491
07:59:50.800 --> 07:59:54.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 406 barangays, and so on and so forth po, until 2026.

asr-008492
07:59:57.160 --> 07:59:59.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Isang beses lang po, pwedeng makatanggap.

asr-008493
08:00:00.000 --> 08:00:06.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ng SBDP, yung LGSF SBDP, yung particular cleared barangay.

asr-008494
08:00:06.880 --> 08:00:08.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So they can only receive once po.

asr-008495
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,

asr-008496
08:00:15.920 --> 08:00:21.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nakadepende po sa kailan po isusumite ng NTF-ELCAC sa DBM

asr-008497
08:00:21.800 --> 08:00:27.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po as a qualified barangay po for LGSF SBDP.

asr-008498
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?

asr-008499
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?

asr-008500
08:00:41.040 --> 08:00:42.140
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor.

asr-008501
08:00:42.560 --> 08:00:44.520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes po, Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.

asr-008502
08:00:45.020 --> 08:00:47.380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: DBM confirms po that this is a one-time grant.

asr-008503
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.

asr-008504
08:00:53.060 --> 08:00:57.140
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, hindi po ba unfair sa barangay?

asr-008505
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.

asr-008506
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,

asr-008507
08:01:09.660 --> 08:01:12.480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 2.5 million pesos lang kada barangay yung nakuha.

asr-008508
08:01:16.700 --> 08:01:20.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, yes, we agree with the point.

asr-008509
08:01:20.480 --> 08:01:23.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The DBM agrees with the point of our Distinguished Colleague.

asr-008510
08:01:24.300 --> 08:01:26.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yung determination po kasi as to how much,

asr-008511
08:01:26.840 --> 08:01:30.380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: how much each barangay would receive in a particular year

asr-008512
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.

asr-008513
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.

asr-008514
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,

asr-008515
08:01:52.340 --> 08:01:56.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yun po, I agree po, nagkakataon po na,

asr-008516
08:01:56.840 --> 08:01:58.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: mababa talaga yung natatanggap nila.

asr-008517
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,

asr-008518
08:02:04.800 --> 08:02:07.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: tas malaki yung alokasyon, so mas malaki po yung natatanggap nila.

asr-008519
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

asr-008520
08:02:12.680 --> 08:02:17.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because of the formula and the determination,

asr-008521
08:02:18.680 --> 08:02:22.180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nagkakataon nga po talaga that some years are higher than others.

asr-008522
08:02:22.800 --> 08:02:24.440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

asr-008523
08:02:24.960 --> 08:02:26.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: since na-mention na one time,

asr-008524
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

asr-008525
08:02:35.220 --> 08:02:43.280
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na nakakuha ng multiple times para po sa barangay development program?

asr-008526
08:03:05.810 --> 08:03:07.620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

asr-008527
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,

asr-008528
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?

asr-008529
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.

asr-008530
08:03:24.820 --> 08:03:26.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's also data in Compass po,

asr-008531
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.

asr-008532
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

asr-008533
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?

asr-008534
08:04:11.340 --> 08:04:12.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague,

asr-008535
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.

asr-008536
08:04:35.010 --> 08:04:36.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker,

asr-008537
08:04:38.560 --> 08:04:44.620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the DBM relies greatly on the list,

asr-008538
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,

asr-008539
08:04:51.580 --> 08:04:56.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but the DBM agrees that they should do a second check,

asr-008540
08:04:56.840 --> 08:05:00.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: just to make sure that there are no duplicate barangays po.

asr-008541
08:05:02.060 --> 08:05:06.160
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ang separate check na po ba ito, gagawin po ba ngayon,

asr-008542
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?

asr-008543
08:05:19.000 --> 08:05:23.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Madam Speaker, so they rely on the attestation,

asr-008544
08:05:23.220 --> 08:05:26.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so there's a certification that NTF-ELCAC,

asr-008545
08:05:26.840 --> 08:05:31.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: specifically issues to certify that there are no duplicate barangays,

asr-008546
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,

asr-008547
08:05:35.980 --> 08:05:38.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: they will do a second check po for duplicates.

asr-008548
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,

asr-008549
08:05:42.880 --> 08:05:45.860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: I think, noong nagtanong tayo sa general principles,

asr-008550
08:05:46.260 --> 08:05:48.180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: aside from barangay development program,

asr-008551
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,

asr-008552
08:05:54.060 --> 08:05:56.180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: paano po ba ine-exercise ng DBM?

asr-008553
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

asr-008554
08:06:03.460 --> 08:06:07.680
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and i-compile for a NEP,

asr-008555
08:06:08.240 --> 08:06:12.460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pero ano po bang paraan na ginagawa nila to ensure na

asr-008556
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

asr-008557
08:06:17.560 --> 08:06:25.060
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: before po isubmit yung request for the budget at maaprubahan

asr-008558
08:06:25.060 --> 08:06:26.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: at ma-spot maybe ng COA,

asr-008559
08:06:26.820 --> 08:06:30.380
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, two years down the line, kung mayroon pong pagkakamali,

asr-008560
08:06:30.780 --> 08:06:33.540
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: may opportunity ang DBM kung paano po siya,

asr-008561
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.

asr-008562
08:06:39.760 --> 08:06:41.640
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Nonetheless, Madam Speaker, good sponsor,

asr-008563
08:06:42.900 --> 08:06:48.460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: kung mayroon pong maiprovide yung DBM na kopya ng attestation

asr-008564
08:06:48.460 --> 08:06:52.120
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: para makita po natin kung ano pong mga checks yung ginagawa

asr-008565
08:06:52.120 --> 08:06:55.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng hindi lang ng DBM pero ng NTF-ELCAC and DILG,

asr-008566
08:06:56.820 --> 08:07:04.300
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: para makita kung ano yung mga proseso nila sa paglatag,

asr-008567
08:07:04.400 --> 08:07:06.180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: anong mga baranggay, yung cleared or hindi.

asr-008568
08:07:06.340 --> 08:07:09.080
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Pero dahil Madam Speaker, as I mentioned nga po earlier,

asr-008569
08:07:09.220 --> 08:07:11.740
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: yung isang point na po na, well, one, unfair.

asr-008570
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

asr-008571
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?

asr-008572
08:07:26.820 --> 08:07:27.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Yung makukuha o hindi.

asr-008573
08:07:28.200 --> 08:07:31.580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: 20 million for this year, 2.5 million the next.

asr-008574
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?

asr-008575
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,

asr-008576
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

asr-008577
08:07:47.460 --> 08:07:54.520
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: to provide these services na pwedeng dun po ilagay yung pangailangan

asr-008578
08:07:54.520 --> 08:07:56.640
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng mga local government units natin.

asr-008579
08:07:56.820 --> 08:08:01.460
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Rather than through this program na standing pa rin,

asr-008580
08:08:01.800 --> 08:08:05.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: yung pinupoint out natin na quote-unquote conditional development po

asr-008581
08:08:05.820 --> 08:08:10.220
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang inooffer ng barangay development program ng NTF-ELCAC.

asr-008582
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

asr-008583
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,

asr-008584
08:08:22.780 --> 08:08:26.600
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: paano ba nag-clear yung isang baranggay, tatanong-tanongin,

asr-008586
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?

asr-008587
08:08:33.400 --> 08:08:36.820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Can you sign this memo to say hindi? Etc.

asr-008588
08:08:37.480 --> 08:08:43.740
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Surveillance, harassment, lahat po ito ay begging the question na

asr-008589
08:08:43.740 --> 08:08:46.940
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: is this the best way for development?

asr-008590
08:08:47.680 --> 08:08:52.700
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Or is it, you know, proper funding of the different projects

asr-008591
08:08:52.700 --> 08:08:56.400
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: to the appropriate line items to the different agencies?

asr-008592
08:08:56.800 --> 08:09:01.060
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, hindi po ito ang tunay na pagpapaunlad.

asr-008593
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

asr-008594
08:09:06.320 --> 08:09:08.180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na nangyayari sa bansa natin ngayon.

asr-008595
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

asr-008596
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

asr-008597
08:09:19.200 --> 08:09:21.080
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: dahil hindi po pantay yung nakukuha nila,

asr-008598
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.

asr-008599
08:09:25.880 --> 08:09:26.780
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: That's all, Madam Speaker.

asr-008600
08:09:26.800 --> 08:09:30.860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, we look forward to receiving the report

asr-008601
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

asr-008602
08:09:41.960 --> 08:09:46.800
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: to ensure na hindi naman nauulit yung mga baranggay

asr-008603
08:09:46.800 --> 08:09:50.700
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: as per the rules and regulations of this program.

asr-008604
08:09:51.060 --> 08:09:53.920
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: But for now, I have no further questions.

asr-008605
08:09:54.360 --> 08:09:55.840
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Thank you very much to the sponsor

asr-008606
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.

asr-008607
08:10:00.920 --> 08:10:01.400
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker.

asr-008608
08:10:01.900 --> 08:10:03.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.

asr-008609
08:10:03.520 --> 08:10:05.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much to the Honorable Renee Co.

asr-008610
08:10:06.160 --> 08:10:06.700
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Majority Leader.

asr-008611
08:10:07.520 --> 08:10:09.800
Rep. Beverley Rose A. Dimacuha: Madam Speaker, next to interpellate the sponsor,

asr-008612
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.

asr-008613
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.

asr-008614
08:10:20.860 --> 08:10:22.620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker.

asr-008615
08:10:23.380 --> 08:10:24.260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sa sponsor,

asr-008616
08:10:24.260 --> 08:10:30.220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bibilisan na lang po natin ang interpellation.

asr-008617
08:10:31.420 --> 08:10:32.840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Less than 30 minutes na po.

asr-008618
08:10:33.980 --> 08:10:34.280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Di ba?

asr-008619
08:10:35.060 --> 08:10:35.640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi po.

asr-008620
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

asr-008621
08:10:42.380 --> 08:10:44.260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: dahil nasa lump sum funds po tayo.

asr-008622
08:10:45.000 --> 08:10:46.640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Meron po tayong presentation.

asr-008623
08:10:47.700 --> 08:10:49.300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Again, yan.

asr-008624
08:10:50.100 --> 08:10:50.380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-008625
08:10:50.380 --> 08:10:54.180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, nakikita po natin, again, one decade plus the proposal.

asr-008626
08:10:54.260 --> 08:10:55.480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: For 2027.

asr-008627
08:10:56.580 --> 08:11:00.500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, hindi ito unang pagkakataon na tumaas ang LGSF.

asr-008628
08:11:00.660 --> 08:11:02.140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, you can see in 2018,

asr-008629
08:11:03.260 --> 08:11:06.960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay 51 billion ang inabot nito.

asr-008630
08:11:09.020 --> 08:11:13.020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: As proposed, pero actually, ang appropriated, the orange one,

asr-008631
08:11:14.060 --> 08:11:16.260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the highest was in 2021.

asr-008632
08:11:17.160 --> 08:11:19.220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sorry, 2017 pala.

asr-008633

asr-008634
08:11:20.880 --> 08:11:21.180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2017.

asr-008635
08:11:21.300 --> 08:11:22.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Unang budget ni...

asr-008636
08:11:24.260 --> 08:11:26.640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pangulong Duterte, nung panahon niya.

08:11:26.860 --> 08:11:29.260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ang pinakamataas nun ay 39 billion.

asr-008638
08:11:30.140 --> 08:11:30.320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

08:11:30.460 --> 08:11:31.960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Actual appropriations.

asr-008640
08:11:33.140 --> 08:11:38.560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero talaga, bakit ba naging mainit na topic ang LGF?

asr-008641
08:11:38.680 --> 08:11:45.420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil sa pagbukol nito, especially in the 2026 GAA.

asr-008642
08:11:45.700 --> 08:11:46.900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung kasalukuyang taon.

asr-008643
08:11:47.680 --> 08:11:47.820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

asr-008644
08:11:47.820 --> 08:11:52.820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil nakita natin, noong 2025, yung appropriated, yung orange,

asr-008645
08:11:54.260 --> 08:11:58.540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 22.99 billion ang LGSF.

asr-008646
08:11:58.720 --> 08:12:03.640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero sa 2026 budget, naging 57.8 billion.

asr-008647
08:12:04.500 --> 08:12:04.700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

asr-008648
08:12:05.080 --> 08:12:08.980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, almost times 3 ang inilaki.

asr-008649
08:12:09.860 --> 08:12:10.000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

asr-008650
08:12:10.120 --> 08:12:12.160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya po, controversial ngayon.

asr-008651
08:12:12.240 --> 08:12:14.700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Even at the time, Madam Speaker,

asr-008652
08:12:15.720 --> 08:12:17.060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: anong ginawa ito sa BICAM?

08:12:17.720 --> 08:12:18.960

08:12:22.620 --> 08:12:27.020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: presidential LGU pork yan.

08:12:28.820 --> 08:12:30.620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: LGU pork ng presidente.

asr-008659
08:12:31.540 --> 08:12:31.660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No?

asr-008660
08:12:32.120 --> 08:12:36.920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At, mamaya, ipapoint out din natin,

asr-008661
08:12:37.100 --> 08:12:40.600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: saan ang galing yung pondo na nilagay dyan.

asr-008662
08:12:40.740 --> 08:12:41.660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero yun ang point.

asr-008663
08:12:41.740 --> 08:12:45.620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pinapakita lang natin kung bakit mainit na topic ngayon ang LGSF.

asr-008664
08:12:45.940 --> 08:12:46.800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Next slide na po.

asr-008665

08:12:51.800 --> 08:12:53.800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: nung LGSF.

asr-008667
08:12:54.700 --> 08:12:55.820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Iba-iba nga.

asr-008668
08:12:55.940 --> 08:12:57.800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nabanggit kanina, Growth Equity Fund.

asr-008669
08:12:58.540 --> 08:13:00.660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kanina lang, tinatanong yung tungkol sa

asr-008670
08:13:00.660 --> 08:13:03.580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Barangay Development Program.

asr-008671
08:13:05.080 --> 08:13:07.680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero ang pinakamalaking component yan,

asr-008672
08:13:07.800 --> 08:13:08.940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: single biggest component,

asr-008673
08:13:09.120 --> 08:13:11.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: is yung tinatawag na financial assistance

asr-008674
08:13:11.120 --> 08:13:12.460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: to local government units.

asr-008675
08:13:13.060 --> 08:13:14.100

08:13:21.800 --> 08:13:24.260

08:13:24.340 --> 08:13:27.160

asr-008681
08:13:27.160 --> 08:13:29.940

asr-008682
08:13:30.520 --> 08:13:31.300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, as I said,

asr-008683
08:13:32.000 --> 08:13:35.980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: bumukol talaga nung,

asr-008684
08:13:36.760 --> 08:13:37.720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: well, lumaki na.

asr-008685
08:13:37.840 --> 08:13:38.700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Actually, papalaki na

asr-008686
08:13:38.700 --> 08:13:42.860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: during the Marcos Junior Administration.

asr-008687
08:13:43.340 --> 08:13:44.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: As you can see,

asr-008688
08:13:44.940 --> 08:13:46.180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: may pataas na trajectory.

asr-008689
08:13:47.300 --> 08:13:51.500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2025, it was already at 18.9 billion.

asr-008690
08:13:51.800 --> 08:13:54.520

asr-008692
08:14:00.380 --> 08:14:01.060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And also note,

asr-008693
08:14:01.960 --> 08:14:04.240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na lumalaki yung orange bar.

asr-008694
08:14:04.340 --> 08:14:05.060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ibig sabihin nun,

asr-008695
08:14:05.160 --> 08:14:06.500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kongreso ang nagdadagdag.

asr-008696
08:14:06.820 --> 08:14:07.660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi yan NEP.

asr-008697
08:14:08.240 --> 08:14:10.300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, congressional intervention,

asr-008698
08:14:10.760 --> 08:14:12.640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: insertion, whatever you may call it.

asr-008699
08:14:14.000 --> 08:14:14.680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-008700
08:14:15.540 --> 08:14:15.800

asr-008705
08:14:24.940 --> 08:14:26.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tapos, hinighlight nga.

asr-008706
08:14:26.920 --> 08:14:27.500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bakit ganon?

asr-008707
08:14:27.600 --> 08:14:28.900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano ba ang kriteriya?

asr-008708
08:14:28.980 --> 08:14:30.060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sino nag-de-decide?

asr-008709
08:14:30.740 --> 08:14:32.200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At bakit tila mas malaki

asr-008710
08:14:32.200 --> 08:14:33.920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung mga mas mayamang syudad?

asr-008711
08:14:34.020 --> 08:14:35.220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Mas malaki pa ang nakukuha?

asr-008712
08:14:35.700 --> 08:14:37.660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Well, ito naman, additional lang.

asr-008713
08:14:38.360 --> 08:14:41.200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero ito, mas sa level ng individual projects.

asr-008714
08:14:41.400 --> 08:14:43.140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Para ipakita lang natin sa napunta

08:16:42.480 --> 08:16:45.600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil alam ko, lahat ng LGU.

asr-008747
08:16:46.140 --> 08:16:46.360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Diba?

asr-008748
08:16:46.960 --> 08:16:47.560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yan ang gusto.

asr-008749
08:16:48.300 --> 08:16:51.500

asr-008750
08:16:51.500 --> 08:16:55.500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, just to give an idea kung ano yung posible at binibigay.

asr-008751
08:16:57.000 --> 08:16:57.480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Through

asr-008752
08:16:57.780 --> 08:17:02.180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung LGSF, particularly yung financial assistance.

asr-008753
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.

asr-008754
08:17:09.000 --> 08:17:09.840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Paano naman yung iba?

asr-008755
08:17:10.160 --> 08:17:10.920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Paano naman kami?

asr-008756
08:17:11.200 --> 08:17:12.300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Who decides?

asr-008757
08:17:12.960 --> 08:17:16.080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, yun nga ang tanong.

asr-008758
08:17:16.320 --> 08:17:17.700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pwede po bang maipaliwanag?

asr-008759
08:17:18.960 --> 08:17:25.620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sino ang nagdi-decide kung sino ang mabibigyan, maaprubahan?

asr-008760
08:17:25.620 --> 08:17:27.760
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At ano yung criteria?

asr-008761
08:17:27.780 --> 08:17:34.780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Lalo pa dito sa mga infrastructure projects, parang wala yatang limit ito.

asr-008762
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.

asr-008763
08:17:49.200 --> 08:17:51.980
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, anong klaseng guidelines po ang nag-aalaw nito?

asr-008764
08:17:51.980 --> 08:17:57.760
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, could the sponsor enlighten us on how the FALGU works?

asr-008765
08:17:57.780 --> 08:17:58.780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Who approves?

asr-008766
08:17:59.720 --> 08:18:00.260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At bakit?

asr-008767
08:18:00.860 --> 08:18:01.180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ganon.

asr-008768
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.

asr-008769
08:18:26.120 --> 08:18:26.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Okay.

asr-008770
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.

asr-008771
08:18:34.400 --> 08:18:36.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That is their evaluation criteria.

asr-008772
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.

asr-008773
08:18:53.920 --> 08:18:57.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nakabase din po sila doon po sa request ng mga LGUs.

asr-008774
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.

asr-008775
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.

asr-008776
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.

asr-008777
08:19:27.780 --> 08:19:29.660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Well, una, emphasize ko lang.

asr-008778
08:19:29.780 --> 08:19:34.480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya po namin tinawag to, last year pa, this is presidential pork.

asr-008779
08:19:34.620 --> 08:19:36.900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kasi sabi natin, discretionary ultimately.

asr-008780
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.

asr-008781
08:19:49.340 --> 08:19:49.900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Parang ganon.

asr-008782
08:19:51.860 --> 08:19:56.900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ngayon, ang nililinaw po rito, actually, ang patakaran.

asr-008783
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.

asr-008784
08:20:09.140 --> 08:20:12.040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Including kung magkano yung ibibigay. Tama po ba?

asr-008785
08:20:12.720 --> 08:20:13.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tama po, Madam Speaker.

asr-008786
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.

asr-008787
08:20:21.980 --> 08:20:26.460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya po nakakakita tayo ng 500 million na isang proyekto lang.

asr-008788
08:20:27.100 --> 08:20:27.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tama po.

asr-008789
08:20:27.780 --> 08:20:29.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, wala pong cap.

asr-008790
08:20:29.300 --> 08:20:33.000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Wala rin cap. So, theoretically, pwede. Kahit 1 billion, pwede.

asr-008791
08:20:33.920 --> 08:20:34.860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ganun nga.

asr-008792
08:20:35.320 --> 08:20:39.440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay, hindi po ba, wala po tayong nakikitang concern doon.

asr-008793
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.

asr-008794
08:20:49.980 --> 08:20:53.320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ano po tingin ng DBM? Guidelines nila yan eh.

asr-008795
08:20:55.100 --> 08:20:57.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague.

asr-008796
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.

asr-008797
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.

asr-008798
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.

asr-008799
08:21:21.620 --> 08:21:26.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's only a finite amount that's allocated for FALGU.

asr-008800
08:21:26.780 --> 08:21:27.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tapos, biglang.

asr-008801
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.

asr-008802
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.

asr-008803
08:21:41.760 --> 08:21:45.360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay, well, next point.

asr-008804
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.

asr-008805
08:21:54.820 --> 08:21:57.020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano po ang papel ng presidente?

asr-008806
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,

asr-008807
08:22:25.520 --> 08:22:28.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: wala pong involvement ang Presidente.

asr-008809
08:22:28.300 --> 08:22:30.280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Walang involvement ang presidente.

asr-008810
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.

asr-008811
08:22:43.460 --> 08:22:43.700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Correct.

asr-008812
08:22:44.360 --> 08:22:44.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tama po.

asr-008813
08:22:45.340 --> 08:22:48.220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At hindi po ba kasama ito sa lump sum funds?

asr-008814
08:22:48.380 --> 08:22:48.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tama po.

asr-008815
08:22:49.720 --> 08:22:50.520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: These are lump sums.

asr-008816
08:22:51.440 --> 08:22:51.660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Correct?

asr-008817
08:22:53.060 --> 08:22:53.780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Lump sum appropriations.

asr-008818
08:22:54.540 --> 08:22:54.660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Correct?

asr-008819
08:22:54.660 --> 08:22:55.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Madam Speaker.

asr-008820
08:22:55.640 --> 08:22:57.100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: These are lump sum appropriations.

asr-008821
08:22:57.600 --> 08:22:57.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes.

asr-008822
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,

asr-008823
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.

asr-008824
08:23:16.200 --> 08:23:16.600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tama po.

asr-008825
08:23:16.600 --> 08:23:16.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ...

asr-008826
08:23:21.540 --> 08:23:27.080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Umiiral ang the provisions

asr-008827
08:23:27.080 --> 08:23:31.620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: of the Administrative Code apply to budgeting.

asr-008828
08:23:32.020 --> 08:23:32.400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tama po.

asr-008829
08:23:32.800 --> 08:23:33.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tama po.

asr-008830
08:23:33.360 --> 08:23:35.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: EO 292 po ang batay.

asr-008831
08:23:35.960 --> 08:23:36.160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yeah.

asr-008832
08:23:36.660 --> 08:23:37.780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Including lump sum funds.

asr-008833
08:23:38.140 --> 08:23:38.260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Section.

asr-008834
08:23:39.360 --> 08:23:42.800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Puntahan po natin ang Book 6, Chapter 5, Section 35.

asr-008835
08:23:43.820 --> 08:23:44.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay?

asr-008836
08:23:44.720 --> 08:23:46.000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, dapat nag-a-apply ito.

asr-008837
08:23:46.100 --> 08:23:51.460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang sabi po, Section 35, Special Budgets for Lump Sum Appropriations.

asr-008838
08:23:52.140 --> 08:23:53.000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ayun na po.

asr-008839
08:23:53.120 --> 08:23:54.480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: In-establish natin lump sum to.

asr-008840
08:23:54.480 --> 08:23:57.380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, expenditures from lump sum appropriations.

asr-008841
08:23:57.400 --> 08:24:01.440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Authorized for any purpose or for any department.

asr-008842
08:24:01.940 --> 08:24:03.920
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Authorized, meaning in-authorized ng Kongreso.

asr-008843
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.

asr-008844
08:24:11.800 --> 08:24:14.260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And from any fund of the national government.

asr-008845
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.

asr-008846
08:24:23.780 --> 08:24:24.100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-008847
08:24:24.100 --> 08:24:25.100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ayun lang po.

asr-008848
08:24:25.180 --> 08:24:27.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Gusto ko lang po ma-reconcile yung sagot nyo.

asr-008849
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.

asr-008850
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.

asr-008851
08:24:49.400 --> 08:24:50.460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Let me just elaborate.

asr-008852
08:24:50.640 --> 08:24:51.940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bakit po ganyan yung batas?

asr-008853
08:24:53.700 --> 08:24:56.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Eh, ang intention po dyan, that's a safeguard.

asr-008854
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.

asr-008855
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.

asr-008856
08:25:11.900 --> 08:25:15.560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi pipirma ang Presidente sa anumang piece of paper.

asr-008857
08:25:16.400 --> 08:25:19.400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Merong vetting, merong validation, verification, etc.

asr-008858
08:25:19.400 --> 08:25:24.400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya, importante po yung approval ng Presidente.

asr-008859
08:25:25.960 --> 08:25:27.000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano pong paliwanag?

asr-008860
08:25:27.120 --> 08:25:34.660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Parang nilalabag ang probisyon ng Admin Code sa inyong kalakaran.

asr-008861
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,

asr-008862
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.

asr-008863
08:25:55.020 --> 08:25:56.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: In this case po,

asr-008864
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.

asr-008865
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,

asr-008866
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,

asr-008867
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,

asr-008868
08:26:44.040 --> 08:26:45.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as may be authorized by the President.

asr-008869
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,

asr-008870
08:26:56.040 --> 08:26:58.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po sa implementation ng lump sum funds.

asr-008871
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.

asr-008872
08:27:02.620 --> 08:27:08.480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: That only provides that the DBM administer the fund.

asr-008873
08:27:09.000 --> 08:27:09.680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Diba? Administer.

asr-008874
08:27:10.040 --> 08:27:10.820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, sila, tama.

asr-008875
08:27:11.280 --> 08:27:14.180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kayo, tatanggap, pwedeng mag-evaluate and so on.

asr-008876
08:27:14.280 --> 08:27:16.220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero iba yung approval.

asr-008877
08:27:17.180 --> 08:27:20.080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: That doesn't talk about approval of the President.

asr-008878
08:27:20.760 --> 08:27:21.740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, that takes it first.

asr-008879
08:27:21.740 --> 08:27:24.480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sabi nyo, well, okay, unless otherwise,

asr-008880
08:27:25.160 --> 08:27:25.740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: expressly,

asr-008881
08:27:26.040 --> 08:27:27.400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: provided by law.

asr-008882
08:27:27.940 --> 08:27:29.060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tignan po natin

asr-008883
08:27:29.060 --> 08:27:33.520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang mga special provisions ng LGUs.

asr-008884
08:27:33.600 --> 08:27:34.100
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ayan na po.

asr-008885
08:27:34.400 --> 08:27:34.720
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ayan.

asr-008886
08:27:35.080 --> 08:27:38.060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Financial assistance to LGUs.

asr-008887
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

asr-008888
08:27:47.240 --> 08:27:55.820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: in coordination with other relevant agencies taking into consideration LGUs adherence

asr-008889
08:27:56.040 --> 08:27:59.060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: to established governance standards.

asr-008890
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.

asr-008891
08:28:08.920 --> 08:28:09.300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: etc.

asr-008892
08:28:10.000 --> 08:28:13.580
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Disbursement and utilization, etc.

asr-008893
08:28:14.420 --> 08:28:19.320
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nowhere does it provide for approval.

asr-008894
08:28:19.320 --> 08:28:22.480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, wala po.

asr-008895
08:28:22.720 --> 08:28:23.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Wala po.

asr-008896
08:28:23.200 --> 08:28:24.040
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Inaral po natin.

asr-008897
08:28:24.140 --> 08:28:24.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Wala.

asr-008898
08:28:24.680 --> 08:28:25.760
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Walang sinasabi.

asr-008899
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.

asr-008900
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,

asr-008901
08:28:51.400 --> 08:28:55.520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: isa-isang kine-question na sa Supreme Court, di ba?

asr-008902
08:28:55.520 --> 08:28:58.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung unprogrammed appropriations, may pending dyan.

asr-008903
08:29:00.980 --> 08:29:02.700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung, ano pa nga ba?

asr-008904
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.

asr-008905
08:29:15.460 --> 08:29:22.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At nakikita ko, merong mukhang merong paglabag sa kasalukuyang kalakaran.

asr-008906
08:29:22.120 --> 08:29:25.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Because, wala akong nakikitang batas.

asr-008907
08:29:25.520 --> 08:29:32.600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: That expressly delegates the approval to the DBM.

asr-008908
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.

asr-008909
08:29:51.880 --> 08:29:52.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Okay.

asr-008910
08:29:52.500 --> 08:29:55.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But, they submit to the wisdom of Congress.

asr-008911
08:29:55.520 --> 08:30:00.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If we want to expressly state it, in the special provision

asr-008912
08:30:00.000 --> 08:30:01.280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for LGSF

asr-008913
08:30:01.280 --> 08:30:03.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for LGSF for example

asr-008914
08:30:03.560 --> 08:30:05.380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for 2027

asr-008915
08:30:05.380 --> 08:30:07.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we can expressly state

asr-008916
08:30:07.920 --> 08:30:10.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that the approval is required

asr-008917
08:30:10.080 --> 08:30:12.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: by for example

asr-008918
08:30:12.320 --> 08:30:14.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: by the president or if it

asr-008919
08:30:14.220 --> 08:30:15.180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: lies with the DBM

asr-008920
08:30:15.180 --> 08:30:18.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because there are two different kinds

asr-008921
08:30:18.040 --> 08:30:20.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: there are two other kinds of lump sum funds

asr-008922
08:30:20.080 --> 08:30:22.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: wherein that is expressly

asr-008923
08:30:22.340 --> 08:30:23.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: stated. The first

asr-008924
08:30:23.800 --> 08:30:25.620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is the contingent funds and the second

asr-008925
08:30:25.620 --> 08:30:28.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: would be the NDRMF

asr-008926
08:30:28.740 --> 08:30:30.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so the DBM submits

asr-008927
08:30:30.120 --> 08:30:32.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if Congress so wishes

asr-008928
08:30:32.340 --> 08:30:33.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that for the GAA

asr-008929
08:30:33.920 --> 08:30:36.380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 2027 we can modify the special provision

asr-008930
08:30:36.380 --> 08:30:38.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: okay and also

asr-008931
08:30:38.120 --> 08:30:40.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung dati meron ding express provision

asr-008932
08:30:40.120 --> 08:30:41.840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: on this on authorization

asr-008933
08:30:41.840 --> 08:30:44.360

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: under lump sum funds. Meron ding express provision

asr-008936
08:30:48.420 --> 08:30:50.220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: po yun. Specifically

asr-008938
08:30:52.440 --> 08:30:54.200

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sabi ng section 35

asr-008940
08:30:55.780 --> 08:30:58.480

08:30:58.480 --> 08:31:00.240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: by law. So kailangan talaga

asr-008942

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: merong express provision ng batas.

08:43:57.320 --> 08:43:58.920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The Minority is here

asr-009326
08:43:58.920 --> 08:43:59.900
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to fiscalize,

asr-009327
08:44:00.900 --> 08:44:02.920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to scrutinize expenditures,

asr-009328
08:44:04.120 --> 08:44:05.220
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: test assumptions,

asr-009329
08:44:06.680 --> 08:44:07.920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: demand accountability,

asr-009330
08:44:08.920 --> 08:44:10.340
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and point out matters

asr-009331
08:44:10.340 --> 08:44:12.220
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that might otherwise

asr-009332
08:44:12.220 --> 08:44:13.460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: escape attention.

asr-009333
08:44:14.960 --> 08:44:16.440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Majority and Minority

asr-009334
08:44:16.440 --> 08:44:18.260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: may disagree on particular

asr-009335
08:44:18.260 --> 08:44:20.060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: items, but

asr-009336
08:44:20.060 --> 08:44:22.660
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ultimately, we share

asr-009337
08:44:22.660 --> 08:44:24.180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the same responsibility

asr-009338
08:44:24.180 --> 08:44:25.980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to make sure

asr-009339
08:44:25.980 --> 08:44:27.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that the people's

asr-009340
08:44:27.160 --> 08:44:29.700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: money is spent properly.

asr-009341
08:44:29.700 --> 08:44:33.000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And this deliberation showed

asr-009342
08:44:33.000 --> 08:44:34.200
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that fiscalization

asr-009343
08:44:34.200 --> 08:44:36.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: can be productive.

asr-009344
08:44:36.980 --> 08:44:38.360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Our questioning did not

asr-009345
08:44:38.360 --> 08:44:39.920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: merely identify concerns.

asr-009346
08:44:40.720 --> 08:44:41.860
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: In several instances,

asr-009347
08:44:43.060 --> 08:44:44.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: it elicited commitments,

asr-009348
08:44:45.500 --> 08:44:47.360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: crafted government policy,

asr-009349
08:44:47.900 --> 08:44:49.560
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and established timelines

asr-009350
08:44:49.560 --> 08:44:50.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: against which Congress

asr-009351
08:44:50.780 --> 08:44:53.280
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: can later hold agencies

asr-009352
08:44:53.280 --> 08:44:54.480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: accountable.

asr-009353
08:44:55.680 --> 08:44:57.140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: There is an old saying,

asr-009354
08:44:57.160 --> 08:44:58.180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Mr. Speaker,

asr-009355
08:44:59.280 --> 08:45:00.000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Show me

asr-009356
08:45:00.000 --> 08:45:00.840
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: your budget,

asr-009370
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.

asr-009371
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.

asr-009372
08:45:39.220 --> 08:45:46.360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Perhaps payments are financing transactions and are, strictly speaking,

asr-009373
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.

asr-009374
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.

asr-009375
08:46:13.520 --> 08:46:15.080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 52 pesos.

asr-009376
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.

asr-009377
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.

asr-009378
08:46:44.780 --> 08:46:46.140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The amount of 2.6 trillion.

asr-009379
08:46:46.380 --> 08:46:52.420
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: About 36 percent of the 7.2 trillion budget.

asr-009380
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.

asr-009381
08:47:09.200 --> 08:47:12.680
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: That is fiscal reality behind this budget.

asr-009382
08:47:12.680 --> 08:47:19.060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: This budget will also operate in a difficult economic environment.

asr-009383
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.

asr-009384
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%.

asr-009385
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.

asr-009386
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.

asr-009387
08:48:03.300 --> 08:48:11.740
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: These numbers matter because slower growth limits income and employment opportunities.

asr-009388
08:48:12.480 --> 08:48:13.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: While

asr-009399
08:48:13.100 --> 08:48:17.360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Inflation reduces what those incomes can buy.

asr-009400
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.

asr-009401
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.

asr-009402
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.

asr-009403
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%.

asr-009404
08:49:26.080 --> 08:49:31.280
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Much of the adjustments, therefore, comes from expenditure restraint.

asr-009405
08:49:31.280 --> 08:49:36.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: There is nothing wrong with spending discipline.

asr-009406
08:49:36.160 --> 08:49:44.980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Government shall eliminate waste, duplication, and projects that cannot be implemented.

asr-009407
08:49:46.400 --> 08:49:53.260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But restraint should protect essential investments in people and productive capacity.

asr-009408
08:49:54.600 --> 08:49:58.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Education illustrates the pressure on our fiscal space.

asr-009409
08:49:58.780 --> 08:50:05.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The proposed DepEd budget is approximately P976 billion.

asr-009410
08:50:06.160 --> 08:50:13.200
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: While interest payments alone are approximately P1.114 trillion.

asr-009411
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.

asr-009412
08:50:25.100 --> 08:50:33.180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Education sector spending is approximately 3.99% of GDP,

asr-009413
08:50:33.180 --> 08:50:35.180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: compared with roughly...

asr-009414
08:50:36.160 --> 08:50:42.720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 4.36% under the fiscal year of 2026 GAA.

asr-009415
08:50:42.720 --> 08:50:48.000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The classroom shortage remains substantial.

asr-009416
08:50:49.280 --> 08:50:51.940
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Social protection deserves attention.

asr-009417
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.

asr-009418
08:51:04.840 --> 08:51:05.720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: AICS...

asr-009419
08:51:06.160 --> 08:51:12.560
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ...from approximately P63.9 billion to P33.29 billion.

asr-009420
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.

asr-009421
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.

asr-009422
08:51:30.320 --> 08:51:33.820
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But with inflation among our poorest households,

asr-009423
08:51:33.820 --> 08:51:37.140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: at 82.2%,

asr-009424
08:51:37.140 --> 08:51:42.280
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: these reductions deserve careful monitoring.

asr-009425
08:51:42.280 --> 08:51:45.620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Kapag limitado ang pera,

asr-009426
08:51:45.700 --> 08:51:50.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: dapat unang protektahan ang mga programang

asr-009427
08:51:50.240 --> 08:51:52.520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: may pinakamalaking epekto

asr-009428
08:51:52.520 --> 08:51:54.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: sa mga pamilyang

asr-009429
08:51:54.300 --> 08:51:57.180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: pinakamaliliit ang kakayahang

asr-009430
08:51:57.180 --> 08:52:00.320
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: harapin ang pagtaas ng presyo.

asr-009431
08:52:00.760 --> 08:52:03.080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Our colleagues in the minority

asr-009432
08:52:03.080 --> 08:52:05.580
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: also placed several important concerns

asr-009433
08:52:05.580 --> 08:52:09.800
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: on record during these deliberations.

asr-009434
08:52:11.140 --> 08:52:13.260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative Chel Diokno

asr-009435
08:52:13.260 --> 08:52:15.740
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of Akbayan Partylist

asr-009436
08:52:15.740 --> 08:52:18.480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: brought us back to

asr-009437
08:52:18.480 --> 08:52:19.700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: perhaps the most important

asr-009438
08:52:19.700 --> 08:52:21.600
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: long-term investment in this budget,

asr-009439
08:52:21.860 --> 08:52:23.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: our people.

asr-009440
08:52:23.980 --> 08:52:26.760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: He pointed out that

asr-009441
08:52:26.760 --> 08:52:27.940
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: while the national budget

asr-009442
08:52:27.940 --> 08:52:29.820
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: grows by about 6%,

asr-009443
08:52:29.820 --> 08:52:31.760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: proposed allocations

asr-009444
08:52:31.760 --> 08:52:32.960
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for key institutions

asr-009449
08:52:32.960 --> 08:52:34.600
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in education and health,

asr-009450
08:52:34.760 --> 08:52:36.740
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: including DepEd,

asr-009451
08:52:37.000 --> 08:52:39.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: SUCs,

asr-009452
08:52:39.240 --> 08:52:39.940
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: CHED,

asr-009453
08:52:40.100 --> 08:52:43.480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: TESDA, DOH, and PhilHealth

asr-009454
08:52:43.480 --> 08:52:45.060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: are moving

asr-009455
08:52:45.060 --> 08:52:46.540
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in the opposite direction.

asr-009456
08:52:47.600 --> 08:52:49.020
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: He cited international

asr-009457
08:52:49.020 --> 08:52:51.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: benchmarks on education,

asr-009458
08:52:52.000 --> 08:52:53.140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: health, and

asr-009459
08:52:53.140 --> 08:52:54.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: social protection.

asr-009460
08:52:55.040 --> 08:52:57.040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: His message is one which

asr-009461
08:52:57.040 --> 08:52:59.200
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we should take seriously.

asr-009462
08:53:00.160 --> 08:53:01.540
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Fiscal consolidation

asr-009463
08:53:01.540 --> 08:53:03.180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: should not

asr-009464
08:53:03.180 --> 08:53:04.980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: come at the expense of human

asr-009465
08:53:04.980 --> 08:53:05.580
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: capital.

asr-009466
08:53:06.700 --> 08:53:09.000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative Renee Co

asr-009467
08:53:09.000 --> 08:53:11.440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of Kabataan

asr-009468
08:53:11.440 --> 08:53:12.140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Partylist

asr-009469
08:53:12.140 --> 08:53:14.760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: raised the continuing

asr-009470
08:53:14.760 --> 08:53:17.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: challenge of adequately funding

asr-009471
08:53:17.100 --> 08:53:18.980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: our state universities and colleges

asr-009472
08:53:18.980 --> 08:53:21.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and making free higher

asr-009473
08:53:21.160 --> 08:53:22.980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: education genuinely free.

asr-009474
08:53:23.880 --> 08:53:24.900
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: She noted that

asr-009475
08:53:24.900 --> 08:53:27.400
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 49 of our country's 113

08:53:27.400 --> 08:53:28.280
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: SUCs

asr-009477
08:53:28.280 --> 08:53:31.280
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: face proposed budget decreases

asr-009478
08:53:31.280 --> 08:53:33.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: totaling about

asr-009479
08:53:33.160 --> 08:53:36.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 7.68 billion

asr-009480
08:53:36.160 --> 08:53:38.360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and called attention

asr-009481
08:53:38.360 --> 08:53:39.380
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to approximately

asr-009482
08:53:39.380 --> 08:53:42.040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 4.97 billion in free higher

asr-009483
08:53:42.040 --> 08:53:43.480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: education deficiencies

asr-009484
08:53:43.480 --> 08:53:45.580
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for fiscal year

asr-009485
08:53:45.580 --> 08:53:47.680
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 2025-2026

asr-009486
08:53:47.680 --> 08:53:49.500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and a projected

08:53:49.500 --> 08:53:52.320
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 2.77 billion gap

asr-009488

asr-009661
08:59:36.460 --> 08:59:38.460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Public funds

asr-009662
08:59:38.460 --> 08:59:40.460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: should translate into education,

asr-009663

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: accessible healthcare,

asr-009664

asr-009670
08:59:54.460 --> 08:59:56.460

asr-009671
08:59:56.460 --> 08:59:58.460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: zero funding for the EDSA

asr-009672
08:59:58.460 --> 08:59:59.540
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Carousel Service

asr-009673
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.

asr-009674
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

asr-009675
09:00:17.420 --> 09:00:20.520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and adequate funding for field health.

asr-009676
09:00:21.760 --> 09:00:29.000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative J.C. Abalos of 4Ps Partylist raised the implementation concerns

asr-009677
09:00:29.000 --> 09:00:32.700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: regarding the community-based monitoring system.

asr-009678
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,

asr-009679
09:00:47.700 --> 09:00:53.500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: while 16 regions and BARMM share only 130 million.

asr-009680
09:00:53.500 --> 09:00:58.500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: More importantly, 59,462 families.

asr-009681
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.

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative Audrey Zubiri of the 3rd District of Bukidnon raised the continued funding shortfall

asr-009683
09:01:20.020 --> 09:01:23.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: under the Sugarcane Industry Development Act.

asr-009684
09:01:23.300 --> 09:01:28.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The law provides for an aggregate of 2 billion annually.

asr-009685
09:01:29.000 --> 09:01:39.120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Yet, approximately 1.020 billion was appropriated in the 2026 GA.

asr-009686
09:01:40.020 --> 09:01:42.640
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Her concern raises a broader principle.

asr-009687
09:01:42.640 --> 09:01:49.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: When Congress creates a program and provides a statutory funding mandate,

asr-009688
09:01:50.780 --> 09:01:55.420
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: annual budgets should give meaningful effect to that commitment.

asr-009689
09:01:56.460 --> 09:01:58.980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative Presley De Jesus,

asr-009690

asr-009692
09:02:07.420 --> 09:02:09.960

asr-009693
09:02:10.900 --> 09:02:13.760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: noting that proposed budgetary support for NEA

asr-009694
09:02:13.760 --> 09:02:22.260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: declines from 10.134 billion in 2026

asr-009695
09:02:22.260 --> 09:02:28.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to 6.486 billion in 2027.

asr-009696
09:02:29.000 --> 09:02:35.760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: While many electric cooperatives still need to expand service

asr-009697
09:02:35.760 --> 09:02:40.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and rehabilitate aging distribution systems.

asr-009698

asr-009699
09:02:49.020 --> 09:02:50.560
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for missionary electrification,

asr-009700
09:02:51.700 --> 09:02:57.060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: particularly as higher fuel costs affect national power corporation,

asr-009701
09:02:57.060 --> 09:02:58.060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Small Power Utilities Group

asr-009702
09:02:59.000 --> 09:03:03.000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: operations in off-grid communities.

asr-009703
09:03:03.000 --> 09:03:09.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: He also emphasized the need to strengthen ERC's regulatory capacity

asr-009704
09:03:09.780 --> 09:03:15.860
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: so that government addresses not only price spikes for temporary interventions,

asr-009705
09:03:15.860 --> 09:03:22.260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: but their underlying causes, supply shortages, inadequate reserves,

asr-009706
09:03:22.900 --> 09:03:26.720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: generation outages, and transmission congestion.

asr-009707
09:03:27.820 --> 09:03:28.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The concern,

asr-009708
09:03:29.000 --> 09:03:34.000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the over-reliability and affordability was reinforced

asr-009709
09:03:34.000 --> 09:03:39.000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: by Representative Sergio Dagooc of APEC Partylist,

asr-009710
09:03:39.000 --> 09:03:45.080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: who focused particularly on the continuing energy problems in the Visayas.

asr-009711
09:03:45.820 --> 09:03:49.460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: He emphasized that generation shortages,

asr-009712
09:03:50.220 --> 09:03:53.060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: inadequate reserves and ancillary services,

asr-009713
09:03:53.820 --> 09:03:55.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: transmission congestion,

asr-009714
09:03:56.280 --> 09:03:57.700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and line rental charges

asr-009715
09:03:57.700 --> 09:03:59.000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: must be addressed

asr-009716
09:03:59.000 --> 09:04:01.920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: as one systemic problem.

asr-009717
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

asr-009718
09:04:10.500 --> 09:04:14.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: while retaining government ownership and control,

asr-009719
09:04:14.820 --> 09:04:18.620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and a reassessment of a limited strategic role

asr-009720
09:04:18.620 --> 09:04:24.040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for NPC in emergency reserves and ancillary services,

asr-009721
09:04:24.040 --> 09:04:28.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and consideration of a temporary,

asr-009722
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.

asr-009723
09:04:37.880 --> 09:04:45.560
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: His concern reminds us that energy policy is also economic policy.

asr-009724
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.

asr-009725
09:04:56.700 --> 09:05:03.080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative Bong Suntay of the 4th District of Quezon City emphasized

asr-009726
09:05:03.080 --> 09:05:07.800
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that major appropriations must produce measurable results.

asr-009727
09:05:08.740 --> 09:05:15.040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: He pointed to the P191.285 billion proposed

asr-009728
09:05:15.040 --> 09:05:20.500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for the Metro Manila Subway and North-South Commuter Railway,

asr-009729
09:05:20.500 --> 09:05:25.820
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: stressing that rail spending must ultimately be measured

asr-009730
09:05:25.820 --> 09:05:28.120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: by working trains and improved mobility.

asr-009731
09:05:29.360 --> 09:05:31.700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: He likewise called for health spending

asr-009732
09:05:31.700 --> 09:05:35.980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to reduce the still substantial out-of-pocket burden

asr-009733
09:05:35.980 --> 09:05:38.420
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: on Filipino families

asr-009734
09:05:38.420 --> 09:05:42.520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and for government to maintain a credible fiscal plan

asr-009735
09:05:42.520 --> 09:05:48.460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: should revenues or economic growth fall below assumptions.

asr-009736
09:05:49.540 --> 09:05:53.060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: These concerns differ in subject,

asr-009737
09:05:53.060 --> 09:05:55.060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: but they reflect the same question before us:

asr-009738
09:05:55.820 --> 09:06:05.960
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: With limited resources, where can government spending make the greatest difference?

asr-009739
09:06:05.960 --> 09:06:12.960
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: That question applies equally to our investments in infrastructure.

asr-009740
09:06:12.960 --> 09:06:18.500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Mr. Speaker, even with limited fiscal space,

asr-009741
09:06:18.500 --> 09:06:23.200
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we should protect infrastructure that can expand the economy

asr-009742
09:06:23.200 --> 09:06:25.200
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and improve national connectivity.

asr-009743
09:06:25.820 --> 09:06:32.340
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Our interpellation yesterday on the DPWH budget

asr-009744
09:06:32.340 --> 09:06:38.120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: produced concrete commitments on the Sorsogon-Samar Link Bridge.

asr-009745
09:06:39.080 --> 09:06:43.380
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We were informed that the government's 130 million

asr-009746
09:06:43.380 --> 09:06:48.020
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for the feasibility study will be complemented

asr-009747
09:06:48.020 --> 09:06:51.380
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: by approximately 500 million from ADB,

asr-009748
09:06:51.380 --> 09:06:56.180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: completing the estimated 650 million funding requirement.

asr-009756
09:06:57.320 --> 09:07:00.060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Bidding is expected to begin this November

asr-009757
09:07:00.060 --> 09:07:05.720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: with the study taking about one year.

asr-009758
09:07:07.320 --> 09:07:10.260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Detailed engineering is targeted for 2028

asr-009759
09:07:10.260 --> 09:07:14.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: followed by civil works bidding in 2028 or early 2029.

asr-009760
09:07:15.620 --> 09:07:18.260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: If the project proves feasible

asr-009761
09:07:18.260 --> 09:07:20.760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and the timetable is followed,

asr-009762
09:07:21.160 --> 09:07:24.280
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: completion could be around 2025

asr-009763
09:07:24.280 --> 09:07:26.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: or 2036.

asr-009764
09:07:26.920 --> 09:07:29.020
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: This is significant because

asr-009765
09:07:29.020 --> 09:07:31.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Secretary Vince Dixon cited an estimated

asr-009766
09:07:31.300 --> 09:07:35.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 42% economic rate of return

asr-009767
09:07:35.240 --> 09:07:37.840
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for the project and inform us

asr-009768
09:07:37.840 --> 09:07:39.200
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of a strong interest

asr-009769
09:07:39.200 --> 09:07:43.880
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: from development partners and investors.

asr-009770
09:07:55.360 --> 09:07:59.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: This also should be a challenge to NEDA,

asr-009771
09:07:59.300 --> 09:08:03.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: DEPDev and DEPDev.

asr-009772
09:08:03.300 --> 09:08:08.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ADB and higher development partners appear willing

asr-009773
09:08:08.300 --> 09:08:11.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to support the mega projects

asr-009774
09:08:11.300 --> 09:08:13.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: when the economic case is strong.

asr-009775
09:08:13.300 --> 09:08:18.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Let us identify other major infrastructure projects

asr-009776
09:08:18.300 --> 09:08:21.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: with high economic rates of return,

asr-009777
09:08:21.300 --> 09:08:24.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: subject them to rigorous feasibility studies,

asr-009778
09:08:24.300 --> 09:08:25.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and bring them to the table.

asr-009779
09:08:25.300 --> 09:08:27.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: If the project is a viable project to ADB,

asr-009780
09:08:27.300 --> 09:08:31.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: JICA, Korea, and other development partners,

asr-009781
09:08:31.240 --> 09:08:34.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Kung mataas ang economic return

asr-009782
09:08:34.240 --> 09:08:36.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: at may handang tumulong sa financing,

asr-009783
09:08:36.240 --> 09:08:39.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: hanapin natin ang mga proyektong ito

asr-009784
09:08:39.240 --> 09:08:41.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: at simulan natin.

asr-009785
09:08:41.240 --> 09:08:43.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: May pondo na,

asr-009786
09:08:43.240 --> 09:08:45.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: may timetable pa.

asr-009787
09:08:45.240 --> 09:08:47.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Ang mas mahalaga ngayon

asr-009788
09:08:47.240 --> 09:08:49.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ay matupad ang mga commitment na ito.

asr-009789
09:08:49.240 --> 09:08:51.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The vision, however,

asr-009790
09:08:51.240 --> 09:08:53.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: should extend beyond Sorsogon and Samar.

asr-009791
09:08:53.240 --> 09:08:55.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: For the

asr-009792
09:08:55.160 --> 09:08:58.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for the Southern Leyte-Surigao Link,

asr-009793
09:08:58.160 --> 09:09:01.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 350 million has been identified

asr-009794
09:09:01.160 --> 09:09:03.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for the feasibility study

asr-009795
09:09:03.160 --> 09:09:08.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: with DPWH negotiating with ADB

asr-009796
09:09:08.160 --> 09:09:11.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for additional funding required.

asr-009797
09:09:11.160 --> 09:09:14.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: During the same interpellation,

asr-009798
09:09:14.160 --> 09:09:17.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we also obtained commitments

asr-009799
09:09:17.160 --> 09:09:21.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to pursue funding for three additional inter-island links,

asr-009800
09:09:21.160 --> 09:09:24.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Maasin, Southern Leyte,

asr-009801
09:09:24.160 --> 09:09:26.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to Lapinig Island,

asr-009802
09:09:26.160 --> 09:09:28.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to Ubay, to Bohol,

asr-009803
09:09:28.160 --> 09:09:30.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Getafe, Bohol,

asr-009804
09:09:30.160 --> 09:09:32.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to Cordoba, Cebu,

asr-009805
09:09:32.160 --> 09:09:35.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and Santander, Cebu,

asr-009806
09:09:35.160 --> 09:09:37.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to Sibulan, Negros.

asr-009807
09:09:37.160 --> 09:09:39.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The DPWUH indicated

asr-009808
09:09:39.160 --> 09:09:42.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that these projects could secure

asr-009809
09:09:42.160 --> 09:09:45.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: funding in the next budget

asr-009810
09:09:45.160 --> 09:09:48.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and through development partners or investors

asr-009811
09:09:48.160 --> 09:09:51.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: with the Bohol-Cebu connection already studied

asr-009812
09:09:51.160 --> 09:09:53.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: by the department,

asr-009813
09:09:53.160 --> 09:09:57.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and identified as a priority.

asr-009814
09:09:57.160 --> 09:09:59.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We should also include

asr-009815
09:09:59.160 --> 09:10:05.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the Camarines Sur-Catanduanes Inter-Island Connectivity Project

asr-009816
09:10:05.160 --> 09:10:08.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: or the Friendship Bridge

asr-009817
09:10:08.160 --> 09:10:12.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: being pushed by Representative Leo Rodriguez of Catanduanes,

asr-009818
09:10:12.160 --> 09:10:17.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: envisioned as a long-span bridge connecting Catanduanes

asr-009819
09:10:17.160 --> 09:10:19.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to mainland Bicol.

asr-009820
09:10:19.160 --> 09:10:22.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The project already has around 80 million

asr-009821
09:10:22.160 --> 09:10:25.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in the 2026 GAA for feasibility study.

asr-009822
09:10:25.160 --> 09:10:28.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: It belongs to the same larger vision

asr-009823
09:10:28.160 --> 09:10:31.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: using strategic inter-island links

asr-009824
09:10:31.160 --> 09:10:34.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to connect communities that geography

asr-009825
09:10:34.160 --> 09:10:36.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: has long kept apart.

asr-009826
09:10:37.160 --> 09:10:39.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Taken together,

asr-009827
09:10:39.160 --> 09:10:41.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: these proposed links

asr-009828
09:10:41.160 --> 09:10:43.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: could form part of a more integrated

asr-009829
09:10:43.160 --> 09:10:46.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: inter-island transport network

asr-009830
09:10:46.160 --> 09:10:48.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: across the Philippine archipelago,

asr-009831
09:10:48.160 --> 09:10:51.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: connecting Catanduanes to mainland Bicol,

asr-009832
09:10:52.160 --> 09:10:55.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Luzon to Samar, Samar to Leyte,

asr-009833
09:10:55.160 --> 09:10:57.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Leyte to Mindanao,

asr-009834
09:10:57.160 --> 09:11:00.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: while establishing additional fixed links

asr-009835
09:11:00.160 --> 09:11:02.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: from Leyte to Bohol,

asr-009836
09:11:02.160 --> 09:11:05.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Bohol to Cebu, Cebu to Negros,

asr-009837
09:11:05.160 --> 09:11:08.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and eventually Negros to Panay,

asr-009838
09:11:08.160 --> 09:11:13.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: complementing the Panay-Guimaras-Negros Island Bridges project.

asr-009839
09:11:13.160 --> 09:11:16.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: In a period of slow economic growth,

asr-009840
09:11:16.160 --> 09:11:19.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: these are the kinds of transformative projects

asr-009841
09:11:19.160 --> 09:11:21.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: worth carefully pursuing.

asr-009842
09:11:21.160 --> 09:11:24.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Projects that can shorten travel time,

asr-009843
09:11:24.160 --> 09:11:26.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: lower logistics costs,

asr-009844
09:11:26.160 --> 09:11:28.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: open new markets,

asr-009845
09:11:28.160 --> 09:11:31.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: bring communities closer together,

asr-009846
09:11:31.160 --> 09:11:35.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and ultimately expand the country's productive capacity.

asr-009847
09:11:35.160 --> 09:11:38.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: As this representation has said

asr-009848
09:11:38.160 --> 09:11:40.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: during the interpellation,

asr-009849
09:11:40.160 --> 09:11:45.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we bring our people to their destination faster.

asr-009850
09:11:45.160 --> 09:11:49.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We can bring our patients faster to our hospitals.

asr-009851
09:11:49.160 --> 09:11:50.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We can move

asr-009852
09:11:50.160 --> 09:11:51.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: our goods faster,

asr-009853
09:11:51.160 --> 09:11:56.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and we can bring our families closer together.

asr-009854
09:11:56.160 --> 09:12:00.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But connectivity is not only an economic issue.

asr-009855
09:12:00.160 --> 09:12:03.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: In an archipelagic country,

asr-009856
09:12:03.160 --> 09:12:06.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the same infrastructure that moves people and goods

asr-009857
09:12:06.160 --> 09:12:09.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: also strengthens our ability

asr-009858
09:12:09.160 --> 09:12:11.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to respond to disasters,

asr-009859
09:12:11.160 --> 09:12:13.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: move resources,

asr-009860
09:12:13.160 --> 09:12:15.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and secure our territory.

asr-009861
09:12:15.160 --> 09:12:17.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: This brings us to another concern

asr-009862
09:12:17.160 --> 09:12:19.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: raised during the budget deliberations

asr-009863
09:12:19.160 --> 09:12:24.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the need to strengthen our eastern seaboard.

asr-009864
09:12:24.160 --> 09:12:27.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Our eastern coast is not only an economic corridor,

asr-009865
09:12:27.160 --> 09:12:30.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: it is also a strategic frontier.

asr-009866
09:12:30.160 --> 09:12:32.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: In recent weeks,

asr-009867
09:12:32.160 --> 09:12:35.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the AFP confirmed monitoring foreign vessels

asr-009868
09:12:35.160 --> 09:12:38.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: passing off the coast of eastern Samar.

asr-009869
09:12:38.160 --> 09:12:41.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The AFP assessed that particular passage

asr-009870
09:12:41.160 --> 09:12:45.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: as non-threatening and consistent with navigation

asr-009871
09:12:45.160 --> 09:12:47.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: through a normal shipping route.

asr-009872
09:12:47.160 --> 09:12:50.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We accept that professional assessment,

asr-009873
09:12:50.160 --> 09:12:55.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: but it also reminds us of something basic.

asr-009874
09:12:55.160 --> 09:13:00.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Our defense posture cannot only be westward.

asr-009875
09:13:00.160 --> 09:13:04.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The Philippines is an archipelago.

asr-009876
09:13:04.160 --> 09:13:09.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Our eastern approaches face Pacific

asr-009877
09:13:09.160 --> 09:13:12.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and cover a vast maritime area.

asr-009878
09:13:12.160 --> 09:13:16.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The AFP's comprehensive archipelagic defense concept itself

asr-009879
09:13:16.160 --> 09:13:21.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: recognizes the need to defend our entire maritime domain,

asr-009880
09:13:21.160 --> 09:13:24.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: including our exclusive economic zones

asr-009881
09:13:24.160 --> 09:13:26.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and vital sea lanes.

asr-009882
09:13:26.160 --> 09:13:28.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Consequently,

asr-009883
09:13:28.160 --> 09:13:31.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Representative Christopher Sheen Gonzales

asr-009884
09:13:31.160 --> 09:13:34.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of the Lone District of Eastern Samar proposes

asr-009885
09:13:34.160 --> 09:13:37.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for the need to strengthen the country's defense posture

asr-009886
09:13:37.160 --> 09:13:39.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: along eastern seaboard.

asr-009887
09:13:39.160 --> 09:13:41.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: As our forces modernizes,

asr-009888
09:13:41.160 --> 09:13:44.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: he called for greater investments

asr-009889
09:13:44.160 --> 09:13:46.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in maritime domain awareness,

asr-009890
09:13:46.160 --> 09:13:49.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: radar and surveillance,

asr-009891
09:13:49.160 --> 09:13:51.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: naval and air capacities,

asr-009892
09:13:51.160 --> 09:13:54.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and strategic facilities

asr-009893
09:13:54.160 --> 09:13:56.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: along our Pacific coast

asr-009894
09:13:56.160 --> 09:13:58.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that will enable our forces

asr-009895
09:13:58.160 --> 09:14:01.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: to effectively monitor and respond

asr-009896
09:14:01.160 --> 09:14:03.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: when necessary.

asr-009897
09:14:03.160 --> 09:14:07.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: This is not about identifying any country

asr-009898
09:14:07.160 --> 09:14:09.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: as an enemy.

asr-009899
09:14:09.160 --> 09:14:14.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: It is simply responsible national defense.

asr-009900
09:14:14.160 --> 09:14:16.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Kung pinapalakas

asr-009901
09:14:16.160 --> 09:14:19.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: natin ang depensa sa kaunlaran.

asr-009902
09:14:19.160 --> 09:14:22.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Hindi dapat pabayaan ang silangan.

asr-009903
09:14:22.160 --> 09:14:26.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Ang isang kapuluan ay dapat may kakayahang bantayan

asr-009904
09:14:26.160 --> 09:14:30.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ang kanyang mga hangganan.

asr-009905
09:14:30.160 --> 09:14:32.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The bridges and transport links

asr-009906
09:14:32.160 --> 09:14:35.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we have discussed also have strategic dimension.

asr-009907
09:14:35.160 --> 09:14:41.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Better ports, roads, bridges, and logistics networks

asr-009908
09:14:41.160 --> 09:14:44.160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: strengthen not only commerce

asr-009909
09:14:44.160 --> 09:14:50.580
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: but also disaster response, humanitarian assistance, and national resilience.

asr-009910
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.

asr-009911
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.

asr-009912
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.

asr-009913
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.

asr-009914
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.

asr-009915
09:15:48.220 --> 09:15:52.380
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We are not asking for equal amounts for every region.

asr-009916
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.

asr-009917
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.

asr-009918
09:16:13.700 --> 09:16:17.620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We acknowledge one important reform in this budget.

asr-009919
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.

asr-009920
09:16:30.680 --> 09:16:32.180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: That is welcome.

asr-009921
09:16:33.240 --> 09:16:36.820
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But transparency must also extend to program appropriations.

asr-009922
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.

asr-009923
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.

asr-009924
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.

asr-009925
09:17:10.020 --> 09:17:14.080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And accountability should continue after enactment.

asr-009926
09:17:14.400 --> 09:17:18.080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Indeed, an appropriation is not an

asr-009927
09:17:18.220 --> 09:17:18.540
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: accomplishment.

asr-009928
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.

asr-009929
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.

asr-009930
09:17:38.720 --> 09:17:42.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Unspent funds should not automatically become savings.

asr-009931
09:17:42.780 --> 09:17:46.320
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And projects should not be delayed.

asr-009932
09:17:46.920 --> 09:17:47.980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Merely to create funds

asr-009933
09:17:48.220 --> 09:17:50.880
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for transfer elsewhere.

asr-009934
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.

asr-009935
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.

asr-009936
09:18:16.120 --> 09:18:18.120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and amount of discretion

asr-009937
09:18:18.220 --> 09:18:23.520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that may remain after Congress approves the budget.

asr-009938
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.

asr-009939
09:18:36.980 --> 09:18:39.680
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But this concern deserves attention.

asr-009940
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,

asr-009941
09:18:48.220 --> 09:18:50.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: magkano ang makakatanggap at kung anong proyekto ang pupunduhan,

asr-009942
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.

asr-009943
09:19:00.440 --> 09:19:05.440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The issue is not whether we should assist our LGUs.

asr-009944
09:19:06.000 --> 09:19:06.720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We should.

asr-009945
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

asr-009946
09:19:13.520 --> 09:19:18.200
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: so that the allocation of billions of pesos in local government

asr-009947
09:19:18.220 --> 09:19:24.740
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: support remains consistent with Congress' constitutional power of the purse.

asr-009948
09:19:25.920 --> 09:19:26.720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Madam Speaker,

asr-009949
09:19:27.980 --> 09:19:31.660
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the minority recognizes the good provisions of this measure.

asr-009950
09:19:32.560 --> 09:19:35.640
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We recognize the reduction of the unprogrammed operations.

asr-009951
09:19:36.640 --> 09:19:39.340
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: We recognize the need for fiscal discipline.

asr-009952
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.

asr-009953
09:19:46.360 --> 09:19:47.620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And we appreciate

asr-009966
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.

asr-009967
09:19:58.160 --> 09:20:02.700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: The fiscal choices before us are therefore difficult.

asr-009968
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,

asr-009969
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.

asr-009970
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,

asr-009971
09:20:31.040 --> 09:20:36.760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: but the choices we make with the fiscal space that remains.

asr-009972
09:20:36.760 --> 09:20:40.740
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Whether we spend it efficiently,

asr-009973
09:20:41.480 --> 09:20:43.880
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: direct it where it matters most,

asr-009974
09:20:44.540 --> 09:20:49.760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and invest it in ways that strengthen our capacity to grow.

asr-009975
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.

asr-009976
09:20:57.780 --> 09:21:01.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: After these deliberations, I would add only this.

asr-009977
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,

asr-009978
09:21:09.640 --> 09:21:11.460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: at ipakita natin ang resulta.

asr-009979
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.

asr-009980
09:21:18.640 --> 09:21:21.260
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: It will be found in the lives of our people.

asr-009981
09:21:22.360 --> 09:21:23.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Kung dahil sa budget na ito,

asr-009982
09:21:23.780 --> 09:21:28.700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ay mas maraming Pilipino ang magkakaroon ng disinting trabaho,

asr-009983
09:21:29.300 --> 09:21:34.600
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: mapayapang tahanan, magandang kinabukasan para sa kanilang mga anak,

asr-009984
09:21:35.260 --> 09:21:40.080
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: at pagkakataong umasinso sa sariling pagsisikap,

asr-009985
09:21:41.240 --> 09:21:41.460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: then,

asr-009986
09:21:41.480 --> 09:21:43.940
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we will have done our duty.

asr-009987
09:21:44.820 --> 09:21:45.440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Sapagkat,

asr-009988
09:21:46.280 --> 09:21:47.760
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ang tunay na pagunlad,

asr-009989
09:21:48.580 --> 09:21:49.500
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ay kapag

asr-009990
09:21:49.500 --> 09:21:52.640
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ang mga kababayan natin

asr-009991
09:21:52.640 --> 09:21:55.840
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: ay nabubuhay ng marangal,

asr-009992
09:21:56.520 --> 09:21:57.880
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: may tiwala sa sarili,

asr-009993
09:21:58.600 --> 09:22:01.480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: at may pagmamalaking sabihin,

asr-009994
09:22:02.200 --> 09:22:02.900
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Pilipino ako.

asr-009995
09:22:03.700 --> 09:22:05.280
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker.

asr-009996
09:22:05.280 --> 09:22:06.280
Committee member: [applause]

09:22:12.360 --> 09:22:13.360
Committee member: [applause]

asr-010000
09:22:22.240 --> 09:22:23.420
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Majority Leader.

asr-010001
09:22:23.980 --> 09:22:24.860
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Madam Speaker,

asr-010002
09:22:24.860 --> 09:22:28.480
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I move to recognize Representative Antonio L. Tinio

asr-010003
09:22:28.800 --> 09:22:30.500
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: of ACT-Teachers Party List

asr-010004
09:22:30.500 --> 09:22:31.700
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: for his manifestation.

asr-010005
09:22:32.080 --> 09:22:35.320
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Representative Antonio Tinio is recognized for his manifestation.

asr-010006
09:22:36.880 --> 09:22:39.140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Maraming Salamat, Madam Speaker.

asr-010007
09:22:40.140 --> 09:22:41.420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Madam Speaker,

asr-010008
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.

asr-010009
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?

asr-010010
09:23:07.240 --> 09:23:15.240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sino ang pangunahing pinagsisilbihan ng budget? Sino ang pangunahing makikinabang?

asr-010011
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?

asr-010012
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?

asr-010013
09:23:36.300 --> 09:23:37.220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang pambansang budget.

asr-010014
09:23:37.240 --> 09:23:40.740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang pambansang budget ay salamin ng pambansang patakaran.

asr-010015
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.

asr-010016
09:23:52.600 --> 09:23:59.060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero, sabi ng ordinaryong Pilipino, di ko ramdam. Bakit ganon?

asr-010017
09:23:59.060 --> 09:24:06.740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: For decades, the national budget has faithfully supported one set of policies.

asr-010018
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.

asr-010019
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.

asr-010020
09:24:27.160 --> 09:24:36.540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Energy. Oil and gas. Electricity. Water. Telecommunications. Our expressways.

asr-010021
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.

asr-010022
09:24:49.740 --> 09:24:55.140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Lumago ang ekonomiya. At sila ang pangunahing nakikinabang.

asr-010023
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.

asr-010024
09:25:07.240 --> 09:25:12.000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At pambihirang yaman para sa iilang oligarko.

asr-010025
09:25:12.000 --> 09:25:19.160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi na lang mga bilyonaryo. Mga trilyonaryo na ang mga pinakamayamang Pilipino.

asr-010026
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.

asr-010027
09:25:35.900 --> 09:25:41.900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Samantala, sino ang pumapasan, pinipiga, at nagbabayad?

asr-010028
09:25:42.780 --> 09:25:48.400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang mga small and medium businesses na gipit dahil sa

asr-010029
09:25:48.400 --> 09:25:50.540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: mataas na kuryente, mataas

asr-010030
09:25:50.540 --> 09:25:51.480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na interes sa loans,

asr-010031
09:25:52.440 --> 09:25:54.360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kompetisyon mula sa

asr-010032
09:25:54.360 --> 09:25:56.460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: murang imported goods due

asr-010033
09:25:56.460 --> 09:25:57.460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: to liberalization.

asr-010034
09:25:58.280 --> 09:26:00.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang Filipino middle class

asr-010035
09:26:00.340 --> 09:26:02.220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kasama ang mga

asr-010036
09:26:02.220 --> 09:26:04.600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: profesional na mababa ang kita

asr-010037
09:26:04.600 --> 09:26:06.080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: underpaid

asr-010038
09:26:06.080 --> 09:26:08.140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: and overtaxed.

asr-010039
09:26:08.140 --> 09:26:09.440
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Milyon-milyon sa kanila

asr-010040
09:26:09.440 --> 09:26:12.060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang nangibang bansa bilang

asr-010041
09:26:12.060 --> 09:26:14.220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: OFW dahil

asr-010042
09:26:14.220 --> 09:26:15.700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: wala silang maasahan

asr-010043
09:26:15.700 --> 09:26:17.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa ating ekonomiya.

asr-010044
09:26:17.340 --> 09:26:19.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At higit sa lahat

asr-010045
09:26:19.340 --> 09:26:21.460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang malawak na hanay

asr-010046
09:26:21.460 --> 09:26:22.800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng mamamayan.

asr-010047
09:26:23.920 --> 09:26:25.000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano ang para sa kanila?

asr-010048
09:26:25.920 --> 09:26:27.480
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Malaganap na unemployment

asr-010049
09:26:27.480 --> 09:26:29.160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at underemployment

asr-010050
09:26:29.160 --> 09:26:31.240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: dahil pinananatiling

asr-010051
09:26:32.140 --> 09:26:33.240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: atrasado ang

asr-010052
09:26:33.240 --> 09:26:35.260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: agrikultura at walang

asr-010053
09:26:35.260 --> 09:26:36.520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sariling industriya.

asr-010054
09:26:37.820 --> 09:26:39.560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pareho, dahil ito

asr-010055
09:26:39.560 --> 09:26:40.680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pinapaboran

asr-010056
09:26:40.680 --> 09:26:42.900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang importasyon

asr-010057
09:26:42.900 --> 09:26:45.460
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa halip na sariling produksyon.

asr-010058
09:26:45.780 --> 09:26:47.140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Service sector

asr-010059
09:26:47.140 --> 09:26:49.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: jobs alone will not lead

asr-010060
09:26:49.120 --> 09:26:50.220
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: to genuine growth.

asr-010061
09:26:51.020 --> 09:26:52.300
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kung walang produksyon,

asr-010062
09:26:53.020 --> 09:26:55.060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: walang trabaho, a country that

asr-010063
09:26:55.060 --> 09:26:56.820
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: does not produce, cannot

asr-010064
09:26:56.820 --> 09:26:58.180
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: employ its people.

asr-010065

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: What has the national budget

09:33:16.180 --> 09:33:17.800
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: its military footprint

asr-010269
09:33:17.800 --> 09:33:19.900

09:33:26.080 --> 09:33:27.540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay hindi natin

09:33:27.540 --> 09:33:27.720

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero ginagawa tayong base, lunsaran at target. Sinusuportahan ito ng kasalukuyang budget proposal.

asr-010279
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.

asr-010280
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.

asr-010281
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.

asr-010282
09:34:22.880 --> 09:34:24.960
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dapat dagdagan ito.

asr-010283
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.

asr-010284
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.

asr-010285
09:34:51.160 --> 09:34:54.120
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Una, no to pork.

asr-010286
09:34:55.100 --> 09:34:58.080
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No to ineffective and wasteful flood control.

asr-010287
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.

asr-010288
09:35:06.540 --> 09:35:09.680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Itigil ang LGSF bilang presidential pork.

asr-010289
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.

asr-010290
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.

asr-010291
09:35:25.100 --> 09:35:28.360
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pondo para sa serbisyo, hindi ayuda.

asr-010292
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.

asr-010293
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.

asr-010294
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.

asr-010295
09:35:53.480 --> 09:35:54.940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pondohan ang

asr-010296
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.

asr-010297
09:36:02.300 --> 09:36:06.520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pangatlo, PERA ng mga kawani ng gobyerno dagdagan.

asr-010298
09:36:06.960 --> 09:36:11.640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: After 17 years, hindi po sapat ang 500 peso increase.

asr-010299
09:36:13.680 --> 09:36:21.000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Minimum, doblehin po ang appropriations pero kailangan higit pa.

asr-010300
09:36:21.000 --> 09:36:23.000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And there must be regularization.

asr-010301
09:36:23.860 --> 09:36:24.900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Para sa mga job order.

asr-010302
09:36:24.900 --> 09:36:27.340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At contract of service sa gobyerno.

asr-010303
09:36:27.920 --> 09:36:32.940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pangapat, no to Pax Silica and US military presence on our soil.

asr-010304
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.

asr-010305
09:36:40.820 --> 09:36:49.160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And an independent defense policy that serves Filipino interests, not foreign strategy.

asr-010306
09:36:50.100 --> 09:36:52.940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bilang pangwakas, Madam Speaker,

asr-010307
09:36:52.940 --> 09:36:58.940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: these demands are urgent and they must be met.

asr-010308
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.

asr-010309
09:37:06.440 --> 09:37:11.420
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Debate on the budget is ultimately a debate on national policy.

asr-010310
09:37:11.420 --> 09:37:13.900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: The budget reflects policy.

asr-010311
09:37:13.900 --> 09:37:22.060
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: As long as the policy is privatization, deregulation, liberalization, debt-driven patronage,

asr-010312
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.

asr-010313
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.

asr-010314
09:37:37.540 --> 09:37:41.840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang laban ay para baguhin ang patakaran na pinagsisilbihan nito.

asr-010315
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.

asr-010316
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.

asr-010317
09:38:02.900 --> 09:38:04.380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Maraming salamat, Madam Speaker.

09:38:26.860 --> 09:38:32.320
Rep. Ferdinand Alexander A. Marcos: Madam Speaker, I move to suspend consideration of House Bill No. 10858.

asr-010324
09:38:32.580 --> 09:38:35.360

09:38:49.440 --> 09:38:50.060
Rep. Ferdinand Alexander A. Marcos: I so move.

asr-010328
09:38:50.600 --> 09:38:51.680
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: Is there any objection?

asr-010329
09:38:52.060 --> 09:38:54.420
Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez: The Chair hears none. The motion is approved.
