          "text": "Committee on Appropriations vice chair Representative Romeo S. Momo Sr. sponsored the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) proposal. He identified ₱199.58 billion for Organizational Outcome 1 (national roads, bridges and related infrastructure), ₱83.84 billion for Organizational Outcome 2 (flood control, seawalls and related infrastructure), and ₱117.74 billion for foreign-assisted projects covering roads, bridges, flood mitigation and the national building program.\n\nMomo said the flood-control program would prioritize finishing incomplete structures, closing gaps and repairing pumping stations, drainage and floodgates according to river-basin and drainage master plans, while continuing foreign-assisted work such as the Pasig–Marikina Channel Improvement. He cited the 2025 ghost flood-control project scandal and testimony about cash deliveries as reasons the budget should make public spending traceable.\n\nHe said DPWH had replaced its former parametric approach for 2027 project selection: projects would need an approved program of work, on-site validated geotagged photographs, budget-preparation documents supported by local development-council resolutions, and a signed certificate of implementability. He said projects would be monitored through the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Compass and the DPWH Transparency Portal with before, during and after photographs. As of September 23, 2026, he reported nine contractors blacklisted and more than 80 administrative cases being pursued.\n\nMomo said Luzon had received an average 56% of allocations over the prior decade, while its share in 2027 would fall to 52.62% as the Visayas and Mindanao together rose to about 47%. He characterized the proposed budget as shifting emphasis from building more to building better and asked the House to support it.",

          "text": "Representative Sergio C. Dagooc said that, as of June, ₱4.9 billion was needed to pay for relocation of 40,095 electric poles already moved. He called the ₱200 million and ₱600 million amounts discussed insufficient and asked for more budget. Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) sponsor Representative Romeo S. Momo Sr. said the FY2027 National Expenditure Program (NEP) included ₱650 million for pole relocation, the highest allocation so far. Momo also reported a prior ₱200 million allocation for pole transfers had been paid to the National Electrification Administration (NEA); his surrounding 2025/2026 year reference was unclear. He separately said the ₱50 million calendar-year 2026 allocation had been downloaded to NEA under a memorandum of agreement.\n\nDagooc urged additional funding for the backlog. Momo welcomed an increase and said the Secretary was open to additional funds, but the exchange set no specific augmentation amount or appropriation approval.\n\nDagooc said electric cooperatives are nonstock and nonprofit and cannot readily fund pole moves. He described cooperatives installing lines before roads were built, then being required to relocate energized lines—sometimes 15 meters from the road center—when DPWH roads are widened. He cited Section 16 of Republic Act No. 10531 as requiring the implementing agency to pay the appropriate relocation cost. Sponsor Momo said local-road relocation was outside DPWH’s mandate and said the Department had requested a General Appropriations Act (GAA) special provision to cover poles affected by local-road widening. Dagooc responded that the local government unit, as implementing agency for a local road, should pay under the law, while noting that local governments ask DPWH district offices for survey assistance. He said he would seek to restore a special provision allowing 2027 pole-relocation funds to be transferred to NEA; no provision or funding change was adopted in this exchange.\n\nDagooc said regional directors, district engineers and contractors interpreted Joint Memorandum Circulars 1–4 differently, with joint inspection often coming only after project award. He warned that five-day notices to move already energized lines could disrupt local economies, and asked DPWH to identify affected poles at planning and inspection, train regional and district staff, and hold cooperative-hosted regional meetings without cost to DPWH. Sponsor Momo reported that the Secretary had directed preparation of a memorandum circular for regional directors to meet cooperative managers across all 17 regions and reconcile interpretations. Dagooc clarified that the meetings should be regional and nationwide, not limited to Butuan.",

          "text": "In his interpellation on the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Representative Tobias “Toby” M. Tiangco thanked DPWH Secretary Vicencio B. Dizon for coordinating with Navotas and the local government during heavy rains, which helped control flooding. He said a damaged navigational gate remained a critical issue; after three years of requests, Dizon had ordered a study that was nearing completion. Tiangco voiced support for the DPWH budget and the Secretary’s reforms.\n\nTiangco pressed the House to publish district and party-list allocations with project line items, saying he had repeatedly requested the information and had not received an answer to a letter to the Committee on Appropriations chairwoman in October 2025. He also said a requested transcript of the BARC deliberation for the 2026 budget had not been provided. DPWH sponsor Representative Romeo S. Momo Sr. committed to provide that transcript after the current deliberation; Tiangco said that settled the transcript request. On BARC access, Momo first said any member of Congress could attend but only BARC members could vote. After a suspension, he corrected himself: each party had been asked to send three members to serve on BARC. Tiangco maintained that members should be able to attend subcommittee hearings even if they could not vote and put his disagreement with the restriction on the record.\n\nTiangco said two projects in his district, each valued at ₱3 million, were absent from the National Expenditure Program (NEP) but appeared during later House General Appropriations Bill (HGAB) consideration: completion of a multipurpose building at the Barangay Center in Tanza 2 and completion of multipurpose facilities in Barangay San Rafael Village. He said neither project had been started, so a “completion” project could not be implemented, and that the district engineer, city engineer and barangay had told him they had not requested them. He asked who placed the items in the bill; the exchange did not identify a requester or party-list. Tiangco asked that district and party-list project information be published so sponsors could be identified and held accountable.\n\nMomo said DPWH had submitted project lists by district for the 2027 budget and would publish the district information on its website; Tiangco clarified that he wanted the House’s BARC report and party-list line-item attribution, which he said DPWH could not supply. Momo said he would ask the Committee on Appropriations chairwoman to publish the report and suggested raising it when she sponsored LAMSOM. Tiangco said he would accept that route if the Majority agreed; Momo affirmed that it did. Tiangco said he would not hold DPWH over a matter he viewed as the House’s responsibility and reiterated his support for the agency’s budget.",

          "text": "Representative Sarah Jane I. Elago cited two reported TIKAS (Tatag ng Imprastruktura para sa Kapayapaan at Seguridad) project counts. She said October 2025 reports listed 944 approved projects and 648 completed, describing 296 as unfinished or unusable. She then cited a later Department of National Defense (DND) figure for 2019–2025: 922 approved projects, of which 509 were completed, and asked about the remaining 413. Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) sponsor Representative Romeo S. Momo Sr. said the figures under discussion were correct and that some projects were ongoing while others were suspended and under DPWH investigation. He committed to provide a project status report identifying ongoing and suspended projects and reasons. Elago said ₱38 billion had been allocated to TIKAS from 2019 through 2025 and urged prompt investigation and accountability for projects left unfinished or unusable.\n\nElago said projects formerly listed under TIKAS appeared in the proposed 2027 Basic Infrastructure Program (BIP), including projects with expired contracts that remained ongoing or had not started. For a multi-purpose building in San Antonio, Zambales, she cited ₱30 million in the 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA) and a new ₱10-million 2027 BIP allocation. The project began July 21, 2025, was scheduled to finish March 17, 2026, and was still reported ongoing at 0% accomplishment. Momo said it was unfinished because it was not fully funded; the 2027 BIP included ₱10 million to complete it.\n\nFor rehabilitation of another multi-purpose building in the same municipality, Elago cited ₱30 million in the 2025 GAA and a proposed ₱25-million 2027 allocation. Its contract was due to expire February 15, 2026, and the reported accomplishment remained 0%. For a third building in the area, she cited ₱60 million under the 2024 GAA and an additional proposed ₱6.5 million in the 2027 General Appropriations Bill (GAB); DPWH data showed it ongoing at 66.81% physical accomplishment. Momo said the DPWH Transparency Portal had not been updated and committed to submit exact project figures and updated statuses, including for continuing TIKAS projects.\n\nElago said T2B3 Builders and Supplies Corporation had received TIKAS and other government infrastructure contracts, including flood-control work, and questioned its continued participation while under flood-control investigation. Momo said the Secretary had confirmed that the contractor was under investigation. DPWH would submit the number of projects under contract and the contractor performance on each. Asked for the investigation timeline, Momo said a project accomplishment report could be submitted the following week, but the investigation results were not yet available because DPWH, the Office of the Ombudsman and other government agencies were conducting a joint investigation.\n\nElago asked whether restructuring the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Metro Manila Bridges Project changed loan repayment terms or the route. Momo said the loan was restructured because Bridge 2 (Homeowners Drive/Bonifacio Bridge) was canceled from the original loan agreement, lowering project cost; he said this did not reflect a route change. He confirmed DPWH commissioned a study and two bridges remained: Marcos Highway–St. Mary Avenue and Kabayani–Matandang Balara. Asked why a bridge had been canceled, he cited right-of-way constraints; elsewhere in the exchange he said the first bridge was canceled because it would cause severe traffic without an alternative route. The exchange uses differing bridge numbers and does not resolve whether these references describe one or separate cancellations.\n\nElago cited the study estimates of 514 trees for Bridge 1 and 350 for Bridge 3, then relayed a later DPWH update that eight mature trees in Provident Villages would be affected at Bridge 1 and proposed for earth-balling/relocation. Momo said the homeowners association had agreed to relocate the eight trees. He said a Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) permit had not yet been secured: DPWH was preparing the application, and relocation remained subject to DENR approval.\n\nElago questioned whether simulations based on 2017 and 2021 traffic conditions remained current, and relayed Provident Villages residents concerns that bridge traffic would worsen congestion on A. Bonifacio Avenue. Momo said DPWH had developed alternative routes and acquired properties to ease traffic. He acknowledged the need to repeat consultation with the homeowners association and said DPWH would submit its traffic solution study once construction began. Elago asked for an updated study and further consultation on local traffic, resident and environmental concerns.\n\nCiting a 2025 Commission on Audit (COA) annual audit observation, Elago said DPWH had received ₱2.2 billion for Marawi City rehabilitation but disbursed only ₱300,000, or 0.02%. She asked about low utilization, added commitment fees and loan restructuring, and how long residents would wait for use of the funds. Momo agreed implementation had been delayed and attributed the delay mainly to COVID-19. He said the loan extension had been approved through 2030; in a follow-up he said DPWH could fully implement the remaining works under the extension. Elago emphasized that nine years after the siege, displaced families still faced gaps in water, electricity, housing, livelihoods and basic services. The answer addressed the delay and extension but not the commitment fees Elago cited.",

          "text": "Representative Antonio L. Tinio asked sponsor Representative Romeo S. Momo Sr. of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) whether reforms adopted after the flood-control corruption controversy and the 2026 budget process were reflected in DPWH’s proposed 2027 budget. Momo described project vetting requirements: an approved program of work, validated geotagged photographs, budget-preparation compliance documents, an implementability certificate signed by the district engineering or regional implementing office, and a master plan, feasibility study or equivalent local plan, with Regional Development Council (RDC) or local development council endorsement, certification or non-objection. He added certifications for no right-of-way issue, duplication or prior funding, and a specific location shown in geotagged photos. Tinio summarized three reforms—stronger technical/project vetting, improved project information and traceability, and mandatory documents before proposed-budget inclusion—and Momo agreed.\n\nAs context for the 2026 process, Tinio cited the removal of ₱255 billion in flood-control funding and its reallocation among programs and departments. He then described the 2027 DPWH infrastructure budget as ₱455.175 million, listing asset preservation/road maintenance, network development/new roads, bridges, flood management, convergence and special-support programs including basic infrastructure; he later summarized those same categories as totaling ₱455 billion. These are the two differently scaled totals as stated in the exchange; the source does not reconcile them.\n\nTinio next recounted what he attributed to former DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan’s sworn testimony as a state witness about prior allocations. He said the testimony described a minimum ₱500 million for each senator and at least ₱1 billion for the Senate President and major committee chairs in the 19th Congress (2023–2025). For House district representatives, Tinio described a ₱500 million baseline calculated through a parametric formula; he said party-list members had ₱120 million in 2023, increased to ₱150 million in 2025. Later, while advocating disclosure of proponents for 2023–2027, he again attributed to Bonoan testimony of a ₱500 million district baseline but gave ₱130 million per party-list representative. The party-list figures conflict in Tinio’s accounts and were not reconciled. These are Tinio’s descriptions of testimony, not findings established in this exchange. Momo said the current DPWH leadership did not know the prior system and that for 2027 the parametric formula and “allocables” had been scrapped; he said project proposals came from DPWH offices through bottom-up planning and were vetted by development councils.\n\nFor DPWH’s 2027 capital outlay, Tinio cited ₱642.6 billion overall and said 80%—₱603 billion—was lodged at the Central Office, leaving about ₱39 billion at district engineering offices. Those reported figures do not align as an exact share; they are preserved as stated. Momo confirmed that a large portion was at Central Office and explained the policy as placing projects above ₱50 million there, with smaller projects generally assigned to implementing offices; he said implementation could still be by district or regional offices. Tinio challenged the threshold using Central Office listings for smaller roads in Regions IV-A and V, including projects as low as ₱3.1 million, and cited small Basic Infrastructure Program barangay-road entries.\n\nMomo acknowledged below-₱50-million Central Office projects as exceptions: Maharlika Highway projects, some projects associated with sub-district engineering offices without a Department of Budget and Management (DBM) agency code (with central bidding/disbursement and local implementation), UPMO and ongoing regional projects. He also described some projects in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) as regionally implemented, while Maharlika and other releases could remain lodged centrally. The exchange thus distinguishes where funds were lodged from which office implemented or bid projects.\n\nTinio asked whether DPWH would submit institutional amendments to the 2027 National Expenditure Program (NEP); Momo said the amendments were still to be submitted to the Committee on Appropriations and estimated them at roughly ₱20 billion. He clarified this was not an increase to the department’s total budget but an internal change. Tinio pressed for the projects to be replaced or reduced to make room, requested a complete list, and asked whether the same project-vetting requirements and RDC review would apply. Momo said existing projects might instead be reduced and that proposed amendments would have to meet the same requirements. After the suspension, Tinio thanked him for the commitment to provide the list. The project-level offsets were left for the promised list.\n\nTinio also urged an official, published list of project proponents for 2023–2027, identifying senators, district representatives and party-list representatives, and proposed a DPWH budget special provision requiring publication for accountability. Momo said he did not think it necessary for the current budget because, in his account, DPWH itself proposed the 2027 projects through regional budget proposals reviewed by provincial and regional development councils. Tinio disagreed, arguing that the roughly ₱20 billion institutional amendments were submissions from members of Congress and renewing his transparency request. No special provision or amendment disposition is recorded in this round.",

          "text": "Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan asked about funding and delivery timelines for the Sorsogon–Samar Bridge Link and a proposed Southern Leyte–Surigao connection. He said the 2026 budget included ₱130 million for the Sorsogon–Samar detailed feasibility study and engineering plan. Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) sponsor Representative Romeo S. Momo Sr. said the Asian Development Bank (ADB) had committed a further ₱500 million, bringing the available study funding to ₱630 million, which he confirmed would fully fund the feasibility study. Momo said ADB had committed to bid the study by November that year. He described the project as foreign-funded, with detailed engineering design to follow the feasibility study; he estimated civil-works bidding around late 2028 or early 2029 and construction at about five to seven years. Libanan asked whether completion by 2035 or 2036 was a safe estimate, and Momo agreed. These were projected stages and dates, conditional on the work proceeding as planned.\n\nFor the Southern Leyte–Surigao/Mindanao feasibility study, Libanan cited ₱350 million in DPWH’s proposed 2027 budget and asked whether it would suffice. Momo said it might not and that DPWH was negotiating with ADB to finance the balance. He said an initial ADB meeting on the additional study funding had begun; if the funding were approved, the feasibility study would proceed, followed by a one-year detailed engineering design and construction. Libanan suggested completion around 2037–2038, and Momo agreed. The ADB amount and approval remained unresolved in this exchange.\n\nLibanan urged DPWH to propose three more bridge feasibility studies for the 2028 General Appropriations Act: a Leyte–Bohol connection through Maasin, Lapinig Island and Ubay; a Bohol–Cebu link from Getafe to Cordova; and a Cebu–Negros Oriental link from Santander to Negros Oriental. He proposed ₱1.050 billion for the three, then described the overall need as about ₱1.1 billion. These were proposals, not appropriations approved in this exchange. Momo said the three proposed connections were being considered for DPWH’s priorities but did not commit to the proposed 2028 funding.\n\nLibanan closed by moving to terminate DPWH interpellations; the Majority joined, and Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza approved the joint termination after hearing no objection. This ended questioning on DPWH and its agencies and corporations, not budget approval.",

Hernandez, sponsor of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) proposal, cited first-half 2026 results separately from the proposed appropriation: US$59.5 billion in exports; ₱461.85 billion in Board of Investments (BOI)-approved investments and ₱140.68 billion through the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA); and 37,000 projected jobs associated with those investment results. She also reported 1,454 negosyo centers and said the Small Business Corporation released ₱5.76 billion in loans to 10,170 micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and conduits during the half-year. She said shared service facilities had generated 435,982 jobs and reached more than 841,000 beneficiaries.\n\nHernandez said three trade agreements had been ratified, seven signed and two concluded under the administration, and identified the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework Agreement as scheduled for signing in November, the Philippines–Chile Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement as concluded, and a Philippines–European Union free-trade agreement as within reach. On consumer protection, she reported monitoring 14,424 firms, checking 5,025 establishments for price and supply, and promulgating 512 Philippine National Standards. She then urged colleagues to consider restoration and augmentation for DTI, without stating an amount.",

          "text": "Gabriela Women’s Party List Representative Sarah Jane I. Elago asked what the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), as chair of the National Price Coordinating Council (NPCC), was doing in response to repeated oil-price increases. She cited diesel at ₱104 per liter with further increases expected. DTI sponsor and Vice Chair Representative Charisse Anne C. Hernandez said DTI had coordinated with manufacturers and retailers to keep basic necessities fairly priced and stable, and that no manufacturers had requested price increases for 204 basic necessities and prime commodities SKUs. She deferred diesel and gasoline regulation to the Department of Energy (DOE), which she described as DTI’s co-equal agency; the agencies were coordinating.\n\nElago asked DTI to study adding diesel and gasoline to the Price Act’s coverage of basic necessities and prime commodities during extraordinary crises. She noted that the emergency power then discussed for suspending excise taxes covered LPG and kerosene, while diesel and gasoline were excluded, and said that power ran only until 2028. Hernandez agreed to recommend the study and said she would urge DTI to coordinate with relevant agencies. This was a commitment to pursue study and coordination, not a decision to amend the Price Act.\n\nElago asked how many unique establishments were covered by DTI’s 62,054 nationwide monitoring instances from January through August 2026, and how many prices exceeded suggested retail prices. Hernandez said she was obtaining the data and pledged to submit it as soon as possible. Elago also requested follow-up information on cases investigated or acted on, including fines, cease-and-desist orders, suspensions and closures. Hernandez said DTI continued daily monitoring across all 18 regions and undertook to send the requested information. The source records the commitments, not the requested counts or enforcement results.\n\nElago asked whether DTI would continue pressing to reduce or remove value-added tax (VAT) on locally produced garments despite the Department of Economy, Planning and Development’s reservation, or wait for the economic managers’ final position. Hernandez said DTI supported the garment and textile industry, was engaging stakeholders and exploring options to address production costs, and viewed VAT reduction and expanded fiscal support as important policy steps. She offered to provide the relevant documents and data. When Elago urged DTI to stand for a VAT exemption, Hernandez said she would urge the agency to do so. The exchange records support and a commitment to advocate, not a final government decision or enacted exemption.\n\nElago cited Board of Investments (BOI) figures of ₱461.84 billion in approved investment value for January–June 2026, covering 124 approved projects, and ₱343.47 billion for the energy sector, which she identified as the largest share. She requested the project list and details. She also asked about a BOI-explored data-center plan in Batangas. Hernandez promised to send the requested data; for context, she cited 36 operational data centers managed by 14 operators as of the first quarter of 2025 and said several expansions were in the pipeline. She did not establish the Batangas project’s current stage.\n\nElago asked whether DTI/BOI were coordinating with agriculture agencies to protect prime agricultural land while attracting investment. Hernandez said she would provide exact data on agricultural-technology investment, mentioned agricultural-technology and dairy-production investment examples, and said DTI would urge BOI to explore investment supporting advanced agricultural technology, including in coconut farming. She did not confirm a specific interagency program or identify a completed BOI project list in this exchange.\n\nElago also called for doubling funding for the MSME Development and Industry Development programs to expand Philippine firms’ capacity and jobs.\n\nElago asked about funding and the timeframe for the Philippine Bamboo Industry Development Council’s roadmap. Hernandez said the agency had requested an additional ₱50 million for bamboo and cited the Philippines’ hosting of the World Bamboo Congress the following January. She described potential uses for bamboo and said DTI was promoting local bamboo products for export through free-trade agreements. Asked for the roadmap and its funding needs, Hernandez undertook to obtain the agency’s direction and provide a copy. No disposition of the additional funding request is recorded.\n\nElago asked the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) and DTI to provide a report on occupational-safety-and-health violations recorded in economic zones, arguing that serious violations causing permanent injury or death should carry criminal consequences rather than fines alone. Hernandez said the data were available and could be provided immediately, including by email. The exchange records a data commitment; no violation counts or case outcomes were given.\n\nElago said the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) had requested ₱45 million for critical line items and asked Hernandez to support funding its Crew Care program for freelance audiovisual workers and its guild-development program. Hernandez acknowledged a budget cut and promised to fight to restore FAP’s original proposal, with DTI as its mother agency supporting programs for freelance film workers. This was advocacy for restoration and support; the exchange does not approve an appropriation or give a final allocation for the individual programs.",

Tinio traced the Pax Silica Initiative from its December 12, 2025 launch in Washington, D.C., when seven countries participated and the Philippines was not included, to the Philippines signing on April 16, 2026. He noted that a Critical Minerals Agreement between the Philippines and the United States had been signed earlier, in February, before formal Philippine participation in Pax Silica; the sponsor confirmed the agreement was signed. Tinio also cited a Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) proposal involving a Pax Silica Coordination Office and 1,620 hectares at New Clark City. The sponsor clarified that initial discussions had occurred but there was no official written transmittal at the time; she distinguished the April 9 proposal from an April 15 transmission described in the exchange as a note verbale.\n\nTinio asked whether Executive Order No. 459, which he read as requiring authorization through the Secretary of Foreign Affairs before international negotiations, applied to these agreements and whether the President had given written authority. DTI sponsor Representative Charisse Anne C. Hernandez said the order applied, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) assessed who could sign, and DTI was lead agency for Pax Silica. She identified the signatory to the Pax Silica Declaration as an undersecretary of the Board of Investments under DTI and said the declaration was non-binding, not a treaty or executive agreement, and set out shared goals while terms remained under negotiation. She said the DFA assessment and approval covered the signatory; Tinio challenged that explanation, arguing that the declaration’s stated policy aims made presidential written authority material. He read the declaration as addressing a pro-growth regulatory environment, energy infrastructure, critical minerals, skilled workers, semiconductors, venture capital, research partnerships and AI technologies. Hernandez rejected his inference that it committed the Philippines to change its regulatory rules, saying there was no such commitment. The exchange records their respective positions, not a legal determination about compliance or binding effect.\n\nTinio separately asked about the Joint Statement on AI Opportunity Partnership. Hernandez said a DTI memorandum concerned a request for authority to sign it; she confirmed it was signed on June 25, 2026, and Tinio identified the Philippine signatory, for the record, as Undersecretary Seferino S. Rodolfo. When Tinio asked whether the written presidential authority could be made public, Hernandez said she would first need to seek permission before answering. The source therefore records a request for authority and a pending response on public availability; it does not establish that a copy was released.\n\nTinio connected the proposed New Clark City land offer to later references to industry investment and next-generation data centers. Hernandez said a data-center opportunity was not part of the Clark proposal and that no specific data-center project was being discussed at the time; she described talks as exploratory and said such an opportunity could become part of a plan. Tinio noted that this differed from an earlier briefing statement and accepted the clarification for the exchange. The discussion describes a proposal and exploratory possibility, not a confirmed data-center project or final site selection.\n\nTinio cited a participant list from the Luzon Economic Corridor Investors Forum: 363 participants, including 255 from the Philippines, 61 from the United States, 21 from Japan and participants from other countries. He highlighted defense, defense-linked and dual-use firms and said the forum raised questions about whether investment would chiefly advance U.S. defense and security interests. He cited examples in defense manufacturing, logistics and base construction. Hernandez characterized attendees as a mixed group, estimating around 20 or fewer companies involved in military or military equipment and about 280 civilians if the total was about 300. She said the presence of defense-related companies did not mean the Philippines was being drawn into an ongoing war. She said the Department of Finance (DOF) and Office of the President Secretariat organized the meeting. These speaker characterizations use different totals and classifications.\n\nTinio questioned whose definition of critical minerals would guide development, arguing that a U.S. definition could prioritize U.S. national-security interests over Philippine priorities. He also raised concerns about mining impacts, regulatory changes, possible procurement exemptions or immunity, and displacement of local communities, including Indigenous communities. These were his concerns and interpretations, including his reading of other agreements and statutes, rather than findings that Pax Silica created those effects. Hernandez emphasized national interest and good-faith investment, said trade with the United States was not exclusive of other partners, and stated there would be no diplomatic immunity in the economic zones.",

          "text": "Representative Sergio C. Dagooc of APEC Party-list asked Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) sponsor Representative Charisse Anne C. Hernandez to address recurring outages and high electricity costs in Visayas and Mindanao, which he linked to forecasts that failed to account for new businesses’ power needs. He proposed that DTI business registrants provide confirmation from the relevant distribution utility that it knows the business’s planned demand and location. He cited hotels and factories as examples, said power plants can take five to seven years to build, and illustrated the issue with a hypothetical hotel seeking 500 megawatts at short notice. Dagooc also noted that the Department of Energy (DOE) requires utilities to prepare annual distribution-development and power-supply procurement plans.\n\nHernandez initially said DTI had no power-demand requirement for business registration and limited authority over electricity supply, while recognizing the need to coordinate with local government units (LGUs). After Dagooc emphasized that agencies and utilities could coordinate without a new law, Hernandez agreed to explore the issue urgently with DOE as lead agency, encourage investment including in renewable energy, and work with DOE and LGUs to help ensure adequate utility supply for businesses. Dagooc welcomed the commitment.\n\nTurning to the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), which Dagooc identified as an attached agency of DTI, Hernandez said it had 13 regional offices: eight in leased facilities, four needing repair or rehabilitation, and three slated for demolition and new construction. She also cited proposals for three CDA training centers in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Region XI and Caraga. Dagooc observed that the proposed FY 2027 CDA capital outlay appeared to be zero and that maintenance and other operating expenses (MOOE) were down 45.4%. Hernandez replied that DTI did not set CDA’s capital outlay to zero and that the full proposal included a funding request; she committed to lobby for CDA funding.\n\nHernandez said CDA’s request sought an additional ₱846 million for enterprise development, market enhancement and regional-office buildings in seven regions, and said DTI would fight to have it funded. In a separate follow-up, she described a proposed ₱120 million request to restore or fund the cooperative Recovery, Innovation, Sustainability and Empowerment (RISE) program. Dagooc supported additional CDA funding and separately referred to about ₱150 million for a market-enhancement item. The exchange does not establish whether the RISE and market-enhancement amounts are components of, or additional to, the ₱846 million request; they should not be added together.\n\nDagooc cited DTI budget utilization of 91.3% in 2023 and 84.2% in 2025, then said it fell further to 71% in 2025; the repeated year makes the sequence internally inconsistent, and the exchange does not resolve which year was intended for the 71% figure. He also said approximately 5.8 billion in released allotments remained unobligated at midyear 2026 and questioned the gap between budget release, obligation, payment and program delivery. Hernandez added that the proposed 2027 DTI budget was 11% smaller and suggested the reduction may have affected cooperative utilization. She attributed delays to late bidding approvals and documentary requirements, and said more detailed data were available.\n\nDagooc then asked whether about 76% of the budget was lodged in the Office of the Secretary. Hernandez clarified that the figure he was referring to covered DTI as a whole, not the Office of the Secretary alone.\n\nDagooc asked DTI to provide electricity’s share of production costs for products and services so the House Committee on Energy could assess how rising power prices affect costs. He asked for the information before his term ended in 2028; Hernandez committed that DTI would submit it. Dagooc said such cost data could also help identify savings in materials such as cement and steel for public-works projects.",

Fortes Jr. moved to reopen sponsorship and recognize Committee on Appropriations Vice Chair Representative Brian Poe to sponsor the measure. Poe said concerns raised during the earlier consideration included online safety, platform accountability, connectivity, digital government and the delivery of digital services.\n\nPoe reported that DICT continued engaging Meta and other platforms and had issued a show-cause order to Meta USA. He said the National Privacy Commission (NPC) had raised concerns about platform safeguards and artificial-intelligence-related or generated content. The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) had led discussions with Reddit, Discord and Roblox, which Poe said had produced commitments to establish a Philippine presence and strengthen government accountability and legal jurisdiction. Poe added that DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda had assured him DICT was studying international best practices and had requested Meta’s report on its coordination and accomplishments for 2025–2026.\n\nPoe also referred briefly to an ongoing protective response involving a minor student: the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and CICC intervened, and the student was referred for monitoring and psychological assessment. Poe said the matter remained ongoing and framed it as a reason to develop lawful, workable mechanisms responsive to public concerns. He clarified for the record that the House had not called on Meta or Mark Zuckerberg to appear before the chamber. Poe then opened the floor to interpellation.",

Marcos asked DICT sponsor Representative Brian Poe whether the House had any role in calling on Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg to appear, as some recent publications had reported. Poe clarified that the House had not called Meta or Zuckerberg to appear before plenary. He said DICT had initially posted a statement, removed it shortly afterward, and that DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda apologized for any misunderstanding or miscommunication. Poe then read DICT’s updated clarification: no House resolution had directed or invited Meta or its CEO to appear in relation to the hearing.\n\nSeparately, the statement said DICT’s budget deliberations had been deferred while the Department gathered additional information and documents requested by House members; DICT was consolidating and addressing those requirements and would present the requested material when the budget hearing continued. It also reaffirmed DICT’s cooperation with Congress and its work with agencies, technology platforms and other stakeholders on online safety, platform accountability and cybersecurity. Marcos thanked DICT for the clarification and Poe for placing it on the record.",

Mastura joined the minority motion on behalf of the majority to terminate interpellations on the proposed Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) budget and its attached agencies. Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza stated it was a joint motion covering DICT and its attached agencies and corporations, asked for objections, heard none, and declared interpellations terminated.\n\nFloor leader Representative Manuel “Wowo” L. Fortes Jr. later moved to suspend consideration of House Bill No. 10858. After Mendoza restated the motion and heard no objection, he approved it. This suspended consideration of that bill; it did not pass the bill or approve the DICT budget. Fortes then separately moved to suspend the session until noon the following day, and Mendoza announced that the session was suspended until 12 noon on September 25.",
