00:00:00.460 --> 00:00:09.320
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Arelma and the Swiss accounts, they were the subject of summary judgments po ng Sandiganbayan.

asr-000002
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:11.000
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: So, na-recover na ho iyan.

asr-000003
00:00:11.540 --> 00:00:17.800
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: And then, as to the other assets po, they became the subject of compromise agreements,

asr-000004
00:00:18.220 --> 00:00:21.580
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: whereby these assets were surrendered to the government.

asr-000005
00:00:23.420 --> 00:00:24.620
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Surrendered by whom?

asr-000006
00:00:25.057 --> 00:00:26.000
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Surrendered po.

asr-000009
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.080

asr-000010
00:00:39.468 --> 00:00:40.919
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. Some but not all.

asr-000011
00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:55.297
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Well, there are still assets, but, uh, when we investigated po, ano eh, wala na po talagang—for example po, there were corporations listed in that case.

asr-000012
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:00.815
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: But then, these corporations turned out to be unregistered or non-operational na po,

asr-000013
00:01:01.304 --> 00:01:03.700
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: and then we don't have anymore the witnesses.

asr-000014
00:01:03.980 --> 00:01:09.360
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: So, we had to be candid with the court, uh, by stating that we are no longer presenting evidence po.

asr-000015
00:01:11.682 --> 00:01:24.680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah, so, Chair, maaari po bang makahingi sa PCGG ng parang pinaka-report on, uh, the recovered hidden wealth,

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah, especially, ah, iyong mga pinakahuli na nabanggit ninyo?

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At mayroon ba tayong imbentaryo?

asr-000019
00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:34.860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano ba talaga iyong buong tina-target natin?

asr-000020
00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:36.200
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Opo.

00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:46.040
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Uh, mayroon din tayong imbentaryo ng current cases po.

PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: mga more than 70

00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:56.240
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: billion pa ho.

asr-000029
00:01:56.900 --> 00:01:58.160
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: More than ₱70 billion?

asr-000030
00:01:58.561 --> 00:01:58.763
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Oo.

asr-000031
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.430
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Ang abogado po namin eh ang OSG po.

asr-000032
00:02:01.660 --> 00:02:02.020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-000033
00:02:02.020 --> 00:02:12.400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ₱70 billion pa ang tina-target natin na mabawi na ill-gotten wealth ng pamilyang Marcos.

asr-000034
00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:12.989
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tama po?

asr-000035
00:02:12.989 --> 00:02:13.495
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Opo.

asr-000036
00:02:13.917 --> 00:02:14.600
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tama po.

asr-000037
00:02:14.980 --> 00:02:22.860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At ang PCGG po ay, ah, ano po ba kayo? Attached agency to the—

asr-000038
00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:25.020
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Attached agency po kami sa Department of Justice.

asr-000039
00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:26.380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-000040
00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:29.540
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kayo po, appointee po kayo?

asr-000041
00:02:30.185 --> 00:02:30.573
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Opo.

asr-000042
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.000
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sino ang nag-appoint sa inyo?

asr-000043
00:02:32.140 --> 00:02:33.460
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Si President Marcos po.

asr-000044
00:02:33.500 --> 00:02:34.940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Si President Marcos din.

asr-000045
00:02:35.460 --> 00:02:35.780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-000046
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:40.900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, well, just your—gusto ko lang po marinig:

asr-000047
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.020
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi po ba awkward sa inyo?

asr-000048
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.840
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Awkward po, pero trabaho po iyan.

asr-000049
00:02:50.570 --> 00:02:51.025
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-000050
00:02:51.025 --> 00:02:54.012
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: But then, to the credit of the President

asr-000051
00:02:54.460 --> 00:02:55.620
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: and the family,

asr-000052
00:02:55.640 --> 00:03:00.100
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: we never, uh, uh, were pressured on anything po.

asr-000053
00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:04.260
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: We have been performing our duty independently.

asr-000054
00:03:05.220 --> 00:03:07.580
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: So, wala pong undue influence on us.

asr-000055
00:03:08.221 --> 00:03:08.761
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-000056
00:03:09.700 --> 00:03:19.680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah, well, so, ang malinaw po, may tina-target pa kayo na ₱70 billion worth of ill-gotten wealth.

asr-000057
00:03:19.940 --> 00:03:20.500
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Opo.

asr-000058
00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:22.940
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah, at may mga pending cases ang mga iyan.

asr-000059
00:03:23.580 --> 00:03:24.200
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tama po ba?

asr-000060
00:03:24.353 --> 00:03:24.910
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Opo.

asr-000061
00:03:24.910 --> 00:03:25.400
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-000062
00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:32.740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya narito kayo ngayon para humingi ng budget para matuloy ninyo pa iyong laban na iyon.

asr-000063
00:03:33.220 --> 00:03:33.900
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tama po ba?

asr-000064
00:03:34.073 --> 00:03:34.816
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Tama po.

asr-000067
00:03:34.940 --> 00:03:35.280
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-000068
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:42.260
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At, ah, kasi noon, may mga proposal po na i-abolish na raw ang PCGG,

asr-000069
00:03:43.020 --> 00:03:43.380
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: no?

asr-000070
00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:48.640
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tapos na raw ang, ang, you know, ang mandato ninyo o wala nang mare-recover.

asr-000071
00:03:49.320 --> 00:03:50.700
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sumasang-ayon ba kayo doon?

asr-000072
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.700
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Ah, kami po eh sang-ayon na ma-abolish iyong PCGG,

asr-000073
00:03:54.700 --> 00:04:05.160
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: but in its place, mayroon po sanang maitatayong new agency that will take over the mandate of the PCGG, but expanded mandate po.

asr-000074
00:04:05.700 --> 00:04:08.880
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Kasi ang mandate po ngayon ng PCGG is napaka-limited po eh.

asr-000075
00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:11.880
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: It's just the Marcos ill-gotten wealth.

asr-000076
00:04:12.059 --> 00:04:12.683
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Tama po.

asr-000077
00:04:13.180 --> 00:04:22.340
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Uh, but then, we want it to be expanded so that, uh, the mandate will be applied to all public officials who have unlawfully acquired assets.

asr-000078
00:04:22.589 --> 00:04:23.163
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-000079
00:04:23.163 --> 00:04:23.517
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Yes.

asr-000080
00:04:23.820 --> 00:04:24.680
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah, so, halimbawa,

asr-000081
00:04:24.700 --> 00:04:27.860
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ibig ninyong sabihin iyong mga tipong flood control, ganoon?

asr-000082
00:04:28.242 --> 00:04:28.820
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Opo.

asr-000083
00:04:29.140 --> 00:04:37.120
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Ang, ang puwede pong gawin diyan is just to file civil forfeiture cases under RA 1379 po.

asr-000084
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:51.500
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Kasi under that law eh nakalagay po doon na any public official who has assets that are manifestly out of proportion to his salary and other legitimate sources of income,

asr-000085
00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:54.360
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: there is already a presumption po na ill-gotten iyan.

asr-000086
00:04:54.700 --> 00:05:05.660
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: And so, the burden of proof shifts to the public official to explain how he was able to amass so much assets, given na this is only salary.

asr-000087
00:05:06.140 --> 00:05:13.780
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Kaya nga po mapapansin ninyo, iyong, iyong decision po ng Sandiganbayan doon sa Swiss accounts po tsaka Arelma, summary judgment po iyon.

asr-000088
00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:18.920
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: In other words, it's just based on the pleadings.

asr-000090
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.280
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Mahirap ho kasi ang criminal case

asr-000091
00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:24.600
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: kasi, ang unang-una po, ang quantum of evidence

asr-000092
00:05:24.700 --> 00:05:26.540
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: is proof beyond reasonable doubt,

asr-000093
00:05:27.080 --> 00:05:35.420
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: and you have to establish iyong, iyong paper trail to show na iyong asset na iyan came from government funds.

asr-000094
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.840
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Could you just explain further ano iyong ibig sabihin ng summary judgment?

asr-000095
00:05:39.421 --> 00:05:39.826
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Opo.

asr-000096
00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:41.740
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: By foreign courts?

asr-000097
00:05:42.104 --> 00:05:42.695
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Dito po.

asr-000098
00:05:42.695 --> 00:05:43.015
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: By local courts.

asr-000099
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.520
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Sandiganbayan po ang nag-render ng summary judgment.

asr-000100
00:05:46.840 --> 00:05:47.560
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah, okay.

asr-000101
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:52.100
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Iyong pong isang summary judgment na iyan, opo, kasama iyong Arelma.

asr-000102
00:05:52.100 --> 00:06:01.520
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Ah, the Philippine government filed a petition for forfeiture—ay, for enforcement of foreign judgment po sa New York.

asr-000103
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:03.460
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Eh nanalo po tayo diyan.

asr-000104
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:04.520
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: There was an appeal.

asr-000105
00:06:05.080 --> 00:06:07.340
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: Recently eh lumabas na po iyong decision.

asr-000106
00:06:07.700 --> 00:06:09.000
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: We won the appeal po.

asr-000107
00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:19.520
PCGG Chairperson Melchor Quirino C. Sadang: So, we are just waiting for the action of the U.S. Supreme Court if they will still, uh, affirm the decision of the Court of Appeals po ng, ano, ng New York.

asr-000108
00:06:20.275 --> 00:06:20.647
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay.

asr-000109
00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:21.780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Well, Chair,

asr-000110

asr-000112
00:06:44.520 --> 00:06:48.240
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ang sinasabi po rito, may ₱70 billion pa.

asr-000113
00:06:48.940 --> 00:06:51.520
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ₱70 billion na kailangang bawiin.

asr-000114
00:06:52.100 --> 00:06:56.120

asr-000129

asr-000130
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:07.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I was looking through your slides, Sec, and very clear naman that in terms of MOOE, in terms of capital outlay,

asr-000131
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ang laki ng binagsak ng budget.

asr-000132
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.059
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ng DOJ.

asr-000133
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'm looking at the agency-wise allocations.

asr-000134
00:08:22.599 --> 00:08:25.899
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The one that stands out to me is Bureau of Immigration.

asr-000135
00:08:26.039 --> 00:08:29.139
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Malaki po talaga yung nawala sa Bureau of Immigration.

asr-000136
00:08:29.960 --> 00:08:35.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's not just the capital outlay, the locally funded project, kasi yun po yata yung ICT.

asr-000137
00:08:35.880 --> 00:08:36.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But even the GASS.

asr-000139
00:08:38.599 --> 00:08:40.139
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Malaki talaga yung binagsak.

asr-000140
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:41.739
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May I know, po?

asr-000141
00:08:42.719 --> 00:08:43.199
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Which...

asr-000142
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.659
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Specific components of the GASS were reduced.

asr-000143
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May I have a better idea of what we would need to restore, if ever?

asr-000144
00:08:50.680 --> 00:08:51.180
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Yes, po, Your Honor.

asr-000145
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:53.260
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Magandang gabi po, Your Honor.

asr-000146
00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:06.780
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Yung pong sa maintenance and other operating expenses, or MOOE, tinanggalan po kami ng 673,476,000.

asr-000147
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:08.499
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Ito po ang breakdown nun.

asr-000148
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.319
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Additional provision for a drug-free workplace initiative.

asr-000149
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:12.980
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: In the amount of...

asr-000150
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:14.660
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: 3,403,000.

asr-000151
00:09:15.640 --> 00:09:17.939
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Additional MOOE for EXPATS.

asr-000152
00:09:17.959 --> 00:09:21.019
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Yan po yung aming expanded alien registration system.

asr-000153
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:25.240
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Umiikot po yung mga tao po namin sa buong Pilipinas para mag-alien mapping.

asr-000154
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.940
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Tinanggalan po kami ng budget para doon ng 18,871,000.

asr-000155
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:39.819
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: And then, yun din pong MOOE for locally funded projects for the development, enhancement, and procurement of IT systems and infrastructures.

asr-000156
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.900
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Ang amount po niyan is 651,202,000.

asr-000157
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:58.300
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Pagdating naman po, Your Honor, sa capital outlay, tinanggalan rin po kami ng 1,227,811,000.

asr-000158
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:06.280
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Representing yung pong capital outlay for locally funded projects for the development, enhancement, and procurement of IT systems and infrastructures.

asr-000159
00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:12.100
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Yan po yung sa aming main office and sa support offices po namin over the Philippines.

asr-000160
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.440
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Ang amount po diyan na tinanggal is 951,531,000.

asr-000161
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:31.780
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: And last po, tinanggalan din po kami para sa post-construction ng aming bagong BI building in the amount of 276,280,000.

asr-000162
00:10:31.800 --> 00:10:40.180
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Dati po kasi ma'am, hindi po namin ma-request ito kasi ang sabi po ng DBM, hindi pa po kami nakakalipat sa building.

asr-000163
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.400
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Ngayon po, nakalipat na po kami recently.

asr-000164
00:10:43.839 --> 00:10:45.379
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: So, pero po kailangan po namin ng additional funding

asr-000165
00:10:46.920 --> 00:10:49.702
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado: Para po sa post-construction, Your Honor.

asr-000166
00:10:54.427 --> 00:11:09.619
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kom, I'd have to coordinate with you po because, like for example, just the Bureau of Immigration alone, that's a very substantive amount that would need to be restored if ever.

asr-000167
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:17.439
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, given the limited fiscal space, we'd really have to prioritize which items we would need.

asr-000168
00:11:17.800 --> 00:11:18.420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, in the Bureau of Immigration...

asr-000169
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:29.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: In the Bureau of Immigration alone, we're looking at over 1.1, 1.2 billion, kasi nabanggit niyo po, IT system pa lang, 1 plus billion na po.

asr-000170
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:41.139
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, siguro po, Kom, with SEC, kasi it's going to be one, essentially one list coming from DOJ.

asr-000171
00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:48.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, when Sec gives the list to me for items for consideration,

asr-000172
00:11:48.920 --> 00:11:55.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ipa-prioritize na natin siya, Sec, among the different attached agencies within the DOJ.

asr-000173
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, we'll have to look through that later on.

asr-000174
00:11:58.754 --> 00:11:59.074
DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida: Yes, Your Honor.

asr-000175
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:04.380
DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida: We'll gladly submit that wish list with the corresponding order of prioritization.

asr-000176
00:12:04.680 --> 00:12:09.320
DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida: And we will do the proper consultation with the various agencies here.

asr-000177
00:12:09.487 --> 00:12:09.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, po.

asr-000178
00:12:10.079 --> 00:12:19.459
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kasi usually po, di ba, I really ask for the help of the head of the agency to essentially rationalize all the requests from the different agencies.

asr-000179
00:12:20.920 --> 00:12:24.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, thank you, Kom, for enlightening us.

asr-000180
00:12:24.040 --> 00:12:31.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Actually, as I was looking through the NEP, like, stand out sa akin yung over 1 billion reduction sa Bureau of Immigration alone.

asr-000181
00:12:31.920 --> 00:12:38.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And then now that I'm looking through the presentation of the Department of Justice as a whole,

asr-000182
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:42.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: mas nakita ko na it's not just one agency that experienced that.

asr-000183
00:12:43.160 --> 00:12:44.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's actually across the board.

asr-000184
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.279
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, next po, we have...

asr-000185
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:48.899
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry, po.

asr-000186
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:53.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Medyo himayin ko lang siya, so I know where to focus.

asr-000187
00:12:54.680 --> 00:13:09.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Under the law enforcement program, siguro po, dito ako nagulat because a lot of the items that are considered priorities at the moment received a substantial cut.

asr-000188
00:13:09.040 --> 00:13:15.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For example po, anti-trafficking in persons enforcement, that got a 41% decrease.

asr-000189
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And ito talagang nagulat ako because this is a LEDAC measure.

asr-000190
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We even amended the OSAEC law.

asr-000191
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:25.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: OSAEC got a 59% decrease.

asr-000192
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:30.350
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yun po siguro, i-consider natin siguro, Sek, yun.

asr-000193
00:13:30.385 --> 00:13:31.950
DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida: We will put them in the priority.

asr-000194
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:32.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, po.

asr-000195
00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:36.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: What else?

asr-000196
00:13:38.160 --> 00:13:43.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For the corrections program, over half cut from the victims' compensation services.

asr-000197
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:48.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For the NBI?

asr-000198
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:49.572
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Okay.

asr-000199
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Director Melvin, nakita ko yung sa NBI, yung cut.

asr-000200
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:59.520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sobrang laki din po for general administration support services.

asr-000201
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:02.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 42% yung nawala po.

asr-000202
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:09.680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, may you just enlighten me as to what items were cut within the GASS.

asr-000203
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:11.839
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-000204
00:14:12.079 --> 00:14:18.679
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: There are six items na we want sana na ma-address yung mabalik, but there are a lot na tanggal.

asr-000205
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.680
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: Yung isa po, number one, yung priority ko is sana we increase the hazard pay

asr-000207
00:14:22.959 --> 00:14:26.899
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: of our agents, only the agents, from 4,000 to 15,000.

asr-000208
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:30.319
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: Medyo hindi na po kami at par with other law enforcement.

asr-000209
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:36.900
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: So, we've been transferring agents from one province to another, and it's very difficult

asr-000210
00:14:36.920 --> 00:14:40.600
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: for them to cope up with the transfer.

asr-000211
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.199
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: So, nahihirapan po kami na mag-ikot.

asr-000212
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:51.040
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: Number two, we are doing now an operation, so about 200 to 220 average operations per month.

asr-000213
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:52.200
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: Ito po yung mga kasama.

asr-000214
00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:53.840
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: Kasama na po diyan yung mga [unclear].

asr-000215
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:57.820
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: Lahat na po, financial scams, cybercrimes, and everything.

asr-000216
00:14:58.680 --> 00:14:59.059
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: So, right now, we are...

asr-000217
00:14:59.079 --> 00:15:04.099
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: Right now, we are asking for the increase; we're spending so much for the COPLAN.

asr-000218
00:15:04.880 --> 00:15:09.160
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: If you will just—yung pong COPLAN na tinatawag—when we do the operations,

asr-000219
00:15:09.880 --> 00:15:12.720
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: nandoon po lahat yung data na kailangan, including the expenses.

asr-000220
00:15:13.839 --> 00:15:17.679
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: Normally, we are averaging the expenses nasa minimum 100.

asr-000221
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:22.959
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: So if you put to 100 po yung sa co-plan namin, averaging at 200 to 220,

asr-000222
00:15:23.079 --> 00:15:29.479
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: mga 44 billion a month na po yung kailangan namin dyan to continue what we've been doing.

asr-000223
00:15:29.959 --> 00:15:36.459
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: At meron po kaming upgrade sana ng equipment, yung pong sa mga drones na kailangan namin bilhin,

asr-000224
00:15:37.160 --> 00:15:43.360
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: and other issues that we want to address in order for us also to address yung administrative capability namin.

asr-000225
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:49.039
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: We want to do yung pong ISO namin, gusto rin namin sanang gawin doon.

asr-000226
00:15:49.680 --> 00:15:52.619
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: And another is purchase of additional vehicles,

asr-000227
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:55.499
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: which is very critical in our operations.

asr-000228
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.020
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: A lot of our vehicles right now are marked or red plate po.

asr-000229
00:15:59.800 --> 00:16:03.580
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: So we cannot do the operations using the marked vehicles,

asr-000230
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.480
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: kasi darating pa lang po kami, sasabihin, ‘Andiyan yung mga NBI, may gagawin.’

asr-000231
00:16:07.680 --> 00:16:12.400
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: So those are the things po na kinat po sa amin, medyo marami po talaga.

asr-000232
00:16:13.319 --> 00:16:17.639
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: We recognize yung sa budget utilization on the previous year,

asr-000233
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.900
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: and we have plugged it down, and if we look at the mandate given by the Congress,

asr-000234
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:22.280
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: na nag-expand po yung aming

asr-000235
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:24.860
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: investigative power,

asr-000236
00:16:24.880 --> 00:16:28.700
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: which we have to cope up, especially in the issues po of cybercrime.

asr-000237
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:33.360
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: About 8 out of 10 crimes, related na po yung cyber, 80%.

asr-000238
00:16:34.079 --> 00:16:37.179
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: So yan po yung isa namin gusto sanang ma-address.

asr-000239
00:16:37.199 --> 00:16:42.199
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: Right now, we are sharing the tools that CICC have,

asr-000240
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:44.700
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: pero sana po meron din kami capability.

asr-000241
00:16:45.079 --> 00:16:51.739
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: So siguro may mga Congs po na very concerned in their district to address also those crimes.

asr-000242
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:57.720
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: We are looking forward to put up cybercrime laboratories sana sa mga regions.

asr-000243
00:16:58.079 --> 00:17:04.459
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: And those things po, those are all law enforcement tools and equipment that we need

asr-000244
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:06.539
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: para po medyo makahabol.

asr-000245
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:13.719
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: Kasama na po dyan yung issue ng shooting sa Ateneo de Zamboanga and also sa Tacloban.

asr-000246
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:20.779
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: Meron po kaming mga continuous monitoring that we need the support po of the Committee on Appropriations

asr-000247
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:22.479
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: to address these concerns po.

asr-000248
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:23.200
NBI Director Melvin Matibag: Salamat po.

asr-000249
00:17:23.682 --> 00:17:25.022
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Director Melvin.

asr-000250
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:28.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Actually, you were talking about anti-cybercrime.

asr-000251
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And nakita ko, hindi ko pa lang po nabanggit kanina,

asr-000252
00:17:31.840 --> 00:17:36.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: aside from anti-trafficking in persons enforcement and OSAEC,

asr-000253
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.319
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung anti-cybercrime pala sobrang laki ng binagsak, 71%.

asr-000254
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Across the board, looking at the corrections program,

asr-000255
00:17:45.520 --> 00:17:47.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: half from the victims' compensation,

asr-000256
00:17:48.360 --> 00:17:50.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: looking at the legal services program,

asr-000257
00:17:51.280 --> 00:17:52.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 15% from the...

asr-000258
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: refugee and stateless persons protection unit.

asr-000259
00:17:56.679 --> 00:18:02.139
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sa BuCor, natanggalan din po sa GASS, 13%.

asr-000260
00:18:02.159 --> 00:18:06.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sa immigration, we've discussed that already.

asr-000261
00:18:06.320 --> 00:18:09.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: LRA, nabawasan din yung GASS by 12%.

asr-000262
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: OGCC, nabawasan din yung GASS.

asr-000263
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So across the board talaga yung general administration and support services.

asr-000264
00:18:20.280 --> 00:18:22.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And then for OSG,

asr-000265
00:18:22.280 --> 00:18:26.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: operations got cut by 8%.

asr-000266
00:18:27.600 --> 00:18:31.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: PPA, 36% din sa GASS.

asr-000267
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:38.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And PCGG, 64%, less RLIP and special account.

asr-000268
00:18:38.840 --> 00:18:40.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So across the board,

asr-000269
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it's very helpful that you were able to segment it in this manner,

asr-000270
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:49.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kasi at least nakikita namin na each agency talaga,

asr-000271
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.659
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: even OADR, GASS din and operations,

asr-000273
00:18:52.679 --> 00:18:57.339
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So we're able to see the cuts across the board within the DOJ.

asr-000274
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:03.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So SEC, we'll work together po with Vice Chair Mike Tan

asr-000275
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:09.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in terms of prioritizing the items for consideration in restoration.

asr-000276
00:19:09.600 --> 00:19:13.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because as you know po, here in the Committee on Appropriations,

asr-000277
00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:15.280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: one of the important reforms that we've done

asr-000278
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: was we now have the Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee,

asr-000279
00:19:18.919 --> 00:19:22.059
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: which deliberates on,

asr-000280
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:24.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and discusses line by line,

asr-000281
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:28.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: all the amendments that we would incorporate into the GAB.

asr-000282
00:19:28.800 --> 00:19:33.940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And those amendments po would come from the request,

asr-000283
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the institutional amendments request emanating from the agencies.

asr-000284
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So hihingi po sana kami ng tulong ninyo,

asr-000285
00:19:42.840 --> 00:19:48.940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: all the heads of agencies and all of our officials po in the DOJ,

asr-000286
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:50.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: please help us po, please guide us,

asr-000287
00:19:51.159 --> 00:19:51.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so that,

asr-000288
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:55.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: when we do prioritize items for restoration,

asr-000289
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at least po, it's in line with the priorities of the agencies.

asr-000290
00:19:59.080 --> 00:20:02.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sayang naman po kung malagyan namin ng pondo yung isang bagay,

asr-000291
00:20:02.360 --> 00:20:05.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na hindi naman talaga yun yung priority ng ahensya.

asr-000292
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:09.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So in this, in this, ano po, in this process,

asr-000293
00:20:09.360 --> 00:20:10.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: let's partner po.

asr-000294
00:20:10.600 --> 00:20:16.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So we would best allocate and optimize the utilization of resources,

asr-000295
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:20.380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: given our very limited fiscal space.

asr-000296
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:21.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So SEC, sorry po.

asr-000297
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:22.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Magse-set lang ako ng

asr-000298
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:25.180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kung kaya po sana,

asr-000299
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:28.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if you can send us within the week,

asr-000300
00:20:29.280 --> 00:20:31.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: best po if you can send it ASAP,

asr-000301
00:20:31.840 --> 00:20:36.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: just so we're able to consolidate everything before the deliberation of the BARC.

asr-000302
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:37.639
DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida: Yes, Your Honor.

asr-000303
00:20:37.679 --> 00:20:38.480
DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida: We will comply.

asr-000304
00:20:38.520 --> 00:20:42.400
DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida: We will comply and definitely submit a comprehensive listing

asr-000305
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:46.000
DOJ Secretary Fredderick A. Vida: with the appropriate prioritization per agency.

asr-000306
00:20:46.942 --> 00:20:51.942
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And then I'll also defer to Vice Chair Mike,

asr-000307
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:58.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if in case there's like back and forth before we finalize the prioritized list.

asr-000308
00:20:58.720 --> 00:20:59.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yun lang.

asr-000309
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think yun po, that's the most important,

asr-000310
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:05.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: my most important role in this hearing,

asr-000311
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:13.019
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: which is to make sure that we're able to best identify the items that would require restoration.

asr-000312
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:16.039
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So on our part po, best effort.

asr-000313
00:21:16.080 --> 00:21:20.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But again, we all recognize that we have limited fiscal space.

asr-000314
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:26.559
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But we'll make sure po that we're able to allocate resources in the most optimized manner.

asr-000315
00:21:26.600 --> 00:21:27.100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

asr-000316

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:28.139
