De Jesus: Okay. 234 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,240 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So my follow-up question, without 235 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,560 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: disclosing sensitive coverage 236 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,440 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: or deployment details, what 237 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,320 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: limits the department's 238 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,720 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: ability to verify significant 239 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,060 Rep. Presley C.

Suansing: Mr. Speaker, there are several factors to be considered, but mainly it's the accuracy of the information. 242 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,540 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: What's that again? 243 00:15:12,820 --> 00:15:15,740 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The accuracy of the information, Mr. Speaker. 244 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:18,800 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Okay. 245 00:15:19,340 --> 00:15:26,540 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: My next question, does the proposed budget address those constraints through better information sharing, 246 00:15:26,540 --> 00:15:32,860 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: additional operating resources, or new surveillance capabilities? 247 00:15:32,860 --> 00:15:33,700 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Capabilities. 248 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,720 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker. 249 00:15:55,180 --> 00:15:56,520 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The idea is that... 250 00:15:56,540 --> 00:15:58,300 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: It's a stepping stone. 251 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:06,900 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: We want a gradual increase in operations as well. 252 00:16:08,020 --> 00:16:10,780 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: As far as your surveillance capabilities, Mr. Speaker? 253 00:16:10,980 --> 00:16:11,420 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker. 254 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:20,100 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: How are the information expenditure requirements coordinated with the Philippine Coast Guard and other relevant agencies? 255 00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:26,100 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: There is real-time coordination information. 256 00:16:26,540 --> 00:16:39,380 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, you mean the coordination between the Philippine Coast Guard and other relevant agencies required expenditure and sharing of information. 257 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,900 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, paano nyo ginagawa yun? 258 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,540 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The department has fusion centers. 259 00:16:48,620 --> 00:16:49,180 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: What's that? 260 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,300 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Fusion centers, Mr. Speaker. 261 00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:51,380 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Okay. 262 00:16:51,380 --> 00:16:53,700 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Then, my follow-up question. 263 00:16:54,380 --> 00:16:56,380 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: What improvements should Filipino fishermen... 264 00:16:56,540 --> 00:17:01,680 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: and civilian maritime personnel expect in case of emergency? 265 00:17:03,260 --> 00:17:07,300 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Communication assistance and coordination during incidents at sea? 266 00:17:09,260 --> 00:17:13,640 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, ano pong inaasaan ng ating mga fishermen in case na, as we know, 267 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,140 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: lagi natin napapanood, laging may aksidente niyan? 268 00:17:17,140 --> 00:17:17,360 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Okay. 269 00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:37,020 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The Coast Guard is increasing its fleet. It is also coordinating with the Philippines with regard to increasing the fleet capacity. 270 00:17:37,620 --> 00:17:46,600 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, does the fisherman, inaalalayan ba sila ng ating mga Coast Guard pag sila'y nasa laot? 271 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:54,020 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Are they being given instruction or advice where to go, where to do their fishing? 272 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:04,400 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Pag nangingisda sila, mayroon ba tayong sinusunod na or area kung saan sila pwede maghanap buhay? 273 00:18:05,180 --> 00:18:05,960 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker. 274 00:18:06,460 --> 00:18:11,020 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The Coast Guard and the BFAR, there is also assistance for fuel. 275 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,340 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Then, my next question, balikatan exercises. 276 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,760 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Defense benefits, costs, and management of regional tension. 277 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:26,900 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: The Philippines has broadened its joint military activities with defense partners, 278 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,240 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: including the United States, Japan, France. 279 00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:39,100 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Balikatan 2026 included activities in Itbayat, Batanes, near Taiwan, and drew criticism from China. 280 00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:48,030 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Question: What specific defense objectives do these exercises seek to achieve? 281 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,620 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker. 282 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,360 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The objective really is terrain awareness. 283 00:19:21,540 --> 00:19:25,980 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The idea of the department is a whole 360 terrain awareness. 284 00:19:27,180 --> 00:19:34,900 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, all of the exercises, air exercises, land exercises, are in pursuit of that objective of terrain awareness. 285 00:19:35,140 --> 00:19:41,540 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, it's basically acclimatizing our troops towards the terrain. 286 00:19:42,060 --> 00:19:46,060 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Another objective also is to introduce our troops to new types of defense. 287 00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:47,660 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Types of weaponry and machinery. 288 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:55,720 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, in short, we do this exercise through awareness. 289 00:19:55,980 --> 00:19:57,160 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ito yung gusto natin malaman. 290 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:03,980 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: At the same time, siguro para matrain din ang ating mga sandatang lakas. 291 00:20:03,980 --> 00:20:12,400 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: My question, do China think this balikatan exercise as an aggressive toward them? 292 00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:42,080 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker. 293 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,380 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Given the scale of the operations, there won't be any reason for it to be treated as aggression. 294 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,340 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: At least that is the stance of the department. 295 00:20:56,660 --> 00:21:06,180 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Then again, all of these joint activities are somewhat construed as provocative given its objective. 296 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,800 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor. 297 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:18,000 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: What measurable improvements in the armed forces' capabilities have resulted from previous exercises? 298 00:21:18,660 --> 00:21:24,780 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Did we gain anything from the Balikatan exercises as far as our armed forces is concerned? 299 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:47,920 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker. 300 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:59,800 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Actually, one of the successes of the Balikatan exercises is that the experience of those exercises enabled the Philippines to lead a 40-fighter strike in Australia. 301 00:22:00,740 --> 00:22:06,000 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, it just shows the increase in the capabilities of our troops because of these Balikatan exercises. 302 00:22:06,660 --> 00:22:06,840 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Okay. 303 00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:09,780 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Last question for this particular department. 304 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,420 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Balikatan exercises, and I move to the other topic. 305 00:22:12,420 --> 00:22:25,540 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: What measures are in place to prevent miscalculation and manage regional tensions while preserving the Philippines' independent defense decision? 306 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,080 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, it's strict adherence to UNCLOS and international law. 307 00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:37,900 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: UNCLOS. 308 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,480 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: And I'll move to my next topic, Mr. Speaker. 309 00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:48,720 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: This regards the drone expansion, artificial intelligence, and secure systems. 310 00:22:50,060 --> 00:22:59,620 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: August 25, 2026, Budget Hearing Secretary Teodoro discussed expanding the military's unmanned capabilities. 311 00:22:59,620 --> 00:23:09,080 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: He emphasized that effective use requires operational integration, secure communication, and supporting networks, 312 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,720 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: not simply the acquisition of more drones. 313 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:13,660 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Question. 314 00:23:14,380 --> 00:23:26,920 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: How does proposed 2027 budget ensure that drone acquisitions are accompanied by the systems and trained personnel needed to use them effectively? 315 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,260 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker. 316 00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:54,040 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, these integration systems are being introduced in this particular budget. 317 00:23:55,380 --> 00:24:04,800 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: This would be under C4ISTAR, so Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance, 318 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,920 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: which is one of the core pillars of the comprehensive archipelagic defense concept. 319 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:17,140 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Do you know how, Mr. Speaker, do you know how, and District Sponsor, do you know how much the budget for these drones? 320 00:24:34,540 --> 00:24:39,000 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: For the fiscal year 2027 proposed budget, 321 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,920 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, it's the funding of the governance systems first before, 322 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,880 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: the governance systems for the drones before we actually use the drones. 323 00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:50,480 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, we need to fund the governance systems first. 324 00:24:52,140 --> 00:25:00,580 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Does the department use artificial intelligence models to process imagery, 325 00:25:00,580 --> 00:25:07,920 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: identify unusual activity, or prioritize information for human analysts? 326 00:25:24,780 --> 00:25:27,320 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The department cannot disclose. 327 00:25:29,020 --> 00:25:30,120 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Come again? 328 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:31,780 Rep. Bella Vanessa B.

Presley C. De Jesus: Next question. 334 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:50,760 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Would additional funding produce greater benefits if directed toward analytical personnel, communications, and maintenance rather than additional equipment alone? 335 00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:53,060 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker. 336 00:25:53,620 --> 00:25:54,320 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Okay. Thank you. 337 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,320 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Now, I move to another topic. 338 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:01,160 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Expanded defense partnerships and their budgetary requirements. 339 00:26:01,980 --> 00:26:07,020 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: The Philippines and France signed a visiting forces agreement in March 2026. 340 00:26:07,020 --> 00:26:09,020 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: The proposed performance documents, 341 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:19,180 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: the target for bilateral and multilateral engagement also rises from 159 in 2026 to 242 in 2027. 342 00:26:19,180 --> 00:26:20,060 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Question. 343 00:26:20,820 --> 00:26:29,360 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: What capability gains justify the proposed increase in bilateral and multilateral engagement? 344 00:27:47,080 --> 00:28:14,040 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker. There are classified capability changes that the department is already observing with regard to our capabilities and defense posture. That would justify the increase of the targets of our bilateral and multilateral partnerships with other government partners. 345 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:28,700 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you. Next, I have only three last questions, three questions. What arrangements determine which costs are borne by the Philippines and which are borne by partner countries? 346 00:29:08,940 --> 00:29:17,660 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The general rule is, if it's an expense incurred of our troops, of our machinery, then that's our counterpart cost. 347 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:25,660 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Whereas, those that involve the troops and the machinery of counterparts, then the counterparts bear that cost. 348 00:29:27,580 --> 00:29:30,080 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, in short, what's the proposition? Kanya-kanya sila? 349 00:29:30,260 --> 00:29:30,540 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes. 350 00:29:30,980 --> 00:29:35,040 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Most likely, it's a 50-50 proposition. Fair enough. Thank you. 351 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,980 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Next, how does the department assess? 352 00:29:37,980 --> 00:29:44,880 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Whether participation improves operational proficiency or interoperability? 353 00:29:50,020 --> 00:29:58,620 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, every exercise, Mr. Speaker, is scored. There is an assessment with regards to indicators. 354 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:17,940 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: For my last question, which recently completed defense initiative has produced the clearest measurable improvement relative to its cost and what made it successful? 355 00:30:45,300 --> 00:30:54,780 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, the department says it's Exercise Pitch Black, which was conducted in Australia. 356 00:30:54,780 --> 00:30:55,600 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Exercise what? 357 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,440 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Pitch Black. Pitch Black. 358 00:31:01,260 --> 00:31:01,840 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: In Australia. 359 00:31:02,580 --> 00:31:16,760 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Okay. Again, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, I support the budget of Department of National Defense and to the ND family, thank you for your service.

Elago: Mula taong 2019 hanggang 2025, may total budget ang tikas program, ang convergence program ng DND at DPWH na P38.03 billion. 367 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:09,160 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mula 2019 hanggang end of 2025, ilan na nga ba talaga ang total approved tikas projects? 368 00:32:09,740 --> 00:32:17,660 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ilan dito ang complete, ongoing, delayed, unusable, suspended, at magsisimula pa lang? 369 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:29,660 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang mga katanungan po na ito ay naitanong na rin natin noong budget briefing, ngunit hindi po tayo nakakuha noong detalyado na status report na kada proyekto. 370 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:40,000 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At medyo nalito pa po tayo dahil magkakaiba po yung bilang ng proyekto na naibigay po sa representasyon na ito. 371 00:32:41,540 --> 00:33:02,640 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Una, noong October 8, 2025, sang-ayon po kay DND Secretary Chodoro sa isang news report, sinabi na may 944 approved projects mula 2019 at 648 projects dito ang kumpleto na. 372 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:28,840 Rep.

Elago: Yung bilang po na nakuha natin mula sa 2021 hanggang 2026 sa Philippine Army at mula sa 2019 hanggang 2025 ay hindi po nagtutugma dun sa 900 plus approved projects na unang nabalita mula noong nakaraang taon. 375 00:34:17,380 --> 00:34:26,340 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maari po ba itong maipaliwanag ng ating distinguished sponsor? At kung maaari po makapagbigay kayo ng ano po ba talaga yung datos? 376 00:34:26,340 --> 00:34:29,960 Rep.

Elago: At mangingila lang po ako ng detalya nito. 387 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:26,200 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pwede po ba natin kunin ang commitment ng ating distinguished sponsor, ang DND, pagdating po? 388 00:36:26,340 --> 00:36:28,420 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Sa report mismo. 389 00:36:28,580 --> 00:36:33,460 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Kasi gusto po natin makita saan ba yung lakasyon, saan ba napunta yung pondo, 390 00:36:33,940 --> 00:36:36,980 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: natapos na ba talaga ang mga infrastruktura, 391 00:36:37,900 --> 00:36:47,960 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: upang matiyak natin na ang pondo po ng ating bayan ay napupunta talaga sa kung saan ito layon na magasta. 392 00:36:48,780 --> 00:36:52,880 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngayon po, yung nabanggit nyo ng mga completed na mga projects, 393 00:36:53,140 --> 00:36:55,800 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: lahat ba ito may turnover documents na? 394 00:36:56,340 --> 00:37:00,420 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: At lahat ba ito ay natayo sa mga lupa na meron ng titulo? 395 00:37:00,420 --> 00:37:01,420 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Thank you. 396 00:37:49,350 --> 00:37:56,320 Rep. Sarah Jane I.

Suansing: Mr. Speaker, well, first, just to address the number. 399 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,120 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Ito po kasing number 922, ito po yung completed. 400 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:25,120 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: But meron kasi tayo ng mga projects na designed. 401 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,200 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Depende kasi yun dun sa design. 402 00:38:28,380 --> 00:38:30,220 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So minsan nagkakaproblema po tayo dun. 403 00:38:30,860 --> 00:38:34,640 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Kaya po, hindi po siya nako-complete. 404 00:38:34,940 --> 00:38:40,040 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Kasi besides na iba yung disenyo, minsan po yung lupa may dispute. 405 00:38:40,700 --> 00:38:42,040 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Minsan din po may facing. 406 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:47,600 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So yung binention ko po na 509 na completed projects, 407 00:38:48,420 --> 00:38:55,520 Rep.

Suansing: But, 409 00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,980 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: yung rest po, yung differential na yung 122 at saka ng 509, 410 00:39:01,620 --> 00:39:03,920 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: may facing po kasi talaga siya. 411 00:39:04,860 --> 00:39:07,720 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Gusto rin pong sabihin ng departamento na 412 00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:12,240 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: ang implementing agency po ng TCAS ay ang DPWH. 413 00:39:13,260 --> 00:39:18,440 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, kung may mga ganito pong mga katanungan in terms of 414 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,020 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: ano yung rason for the delays, 415 00:39:22,740 --> 00:39:26,020 Rep. Bella Vanessa B.

Elago: Mister Speaker, hindi po ba kasaba ang DND sa nag-issue ng Joint Memorandum Circular No. 44, 418 00:39:36,060 --> 00:39:37,320 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: series of 2024? 419 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,940 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Maari po ba itong balikan ng ating Distinguished Sponsor at ng ating departamento? 420 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:50,400 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Anong sinasabi dyan na obligation po ng DND pagdating sa monitoring at evaluation 421 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,520 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: ng mga proyekto sa ilalim ng TCAS program? 422 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:49,020 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker. As of now, with regards to those that have been the ongoing projects from the time before 2025, continuing pa po yung validation of these projects. 423 00:40:51,380 --> 00:40:56,300 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Nag-conduct po ng validation and assessment din ang Department of National Defense. 424 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,540 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: In terms of kamusta yung mga structure. 425 00:40:59,700 --> 00:41:04,400 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: But yung implementing agency po talaga kasi ay DPWH. 426 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:20,600 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, pero on the part of the DND, we are assured na kung meron mang delays po doon sa implementation ng itong mga TICAS projects, ay nag-a-assess din po on-site ang DND. 427 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,600 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Meron na po bang risulta ang inyong mga initial assessment? 428 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:26,700 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: May ginawa? 429 00:41:27,180 --> 00:41:44,540 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Halimbawa, Mr. Speaker, nabanggit din po noong budget briefing na meron po for 2026, 27 non-implementable at may 51 na implementable pa na proyekto sa ilalim ng TICAS program. 430 00:41:46,900 --> 00:41:52,700 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ano po ba ang ibig sabihin ng binanggit na non-implementable? 431 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,700 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ibig sabihin po ba may mga limitations? 432 00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:04,760 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: sa paggamit ng budget? May mga, meron ba ang factor ng impossibility 433 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,840 Rep. Sarah Jane I.

Based on official data, ang terminated or suspended 437 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:35,340 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: po na projects, one of the factors being may problema sa lupa, is 43. 438 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:44,220 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: 43 projects. With regards to updates as to even those ongoing projects 439 00:42:44,220 --> 00:42:46,980 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: na might be terminated because of disputes in land 440 00:42:46,980 --> 00:42:49,960 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: and other problems with implementation. 441 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:56,880 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: implementation. Again, the DND cannot give information on it given that 442 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,780 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: the implementing agency would be the DPWH. 443 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,460 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Mr. Speaker, mahirap po na ganyan po ang kasagutan sa atin. 444 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:10,920 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Dahil malinaw po sa DND-DPWH Joint Memorandum Circular No. 44, 445 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:16,920 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Series of 2024, na may tatlo pong mahalaga na obligation dito ang DND. 446 00:43:16,980 --> 00:43:23,240 Rep. Sarah Jane I.

Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ito po yung dahilan kung bakit hinihingi natin sa DND mismo yung lagay, yung status ng mga proyektong ito, dahil hindi naman po biro yung ₱38 billion. Mas mataas pa po yan sa buong budget ng DOST para sa susunod na taon. Kaya napakahalaga ng bawat piso na ginagastos sa mga proyektong ito. Ngayon naman, hihintayin po natin yung detalyadong status report na may kinalaman dito sa TIKAS program. 453 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:53,880 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngunit hayaan niyo po akong dumiretso sa naging sagot sa atin para sa TIKAS sa susunod na taon, for fiscal year 2027. 454 00:44:53,880 --> 00:45:04,830 Rep. Sarah Jane I.

Wala na pong TIKAS projects for 2027 as per the DND. Opo. 456 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:18,260 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ngunit napansin din po ng representasyon na ito na may mga proyekto po sa ilalim ng DPWH, 457 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:29,600 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: sa ilalim po ng Basic Infrastructure Program o BIP na nakalista sa ilalim ng TICAS program noong taong 2024 at 2025. 458 00:45:30,100 --> 00:45:34,280 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ibig sabihin po, project na po siya sa 2024 at 2025. 459 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:40,280 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero nagulat po kami na nalista po ulit sa BIP para sa taong 2027. 460 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:50,780 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Noong tinignan po namin yung mga projects na ito sa DPWH website, napansin po namin na meron po dito expired na ang contracts. 461 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,400 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Pero hindi pa nagsisimula o ongoing pa lang ang proyekto. 462 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,300 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: May mga proyekto din po na lagpas na sa project costs. 463 00:45:59,300 --> 00:46:00,880 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Ang nailaan na budget. 464 00:46:01,820 --> 00:46:05,560 Rep. Sarah Jane I.

So kaya po, 2019 01:59:16,180 --> 01:59:18,180 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang tanong ngayon, what about 2020 01:59:18,180 --> 01:59:20,180 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pilipinas? 2021 01:59:20,180 --> 01:59:22,180 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No? Ang Marcos Jr. Administration, 2022 01:59:22,180 --> 01:59:24,180 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: katulad ng sinabi natin, 2023 01:59:24,180 --> 01:59:26,180 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: talagang todong 2024 01:59:26,180 --> 01:59:28,180 Rep. Antonio L.

So, 2040 02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:09,720 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang tanong dito ngayon, and this is a question that pertains to the primary mandate of the Department of National Defense and the AFP, 2041 02:00:10,940 --> 02:00:18,520 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: paano didepensahan ang mga ito kung magkaroon ng gera sa pagitan ng US at Pilipinas? 2042 02:00:19,400 --> 02:00:23,440 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Napakita sa Gulf na wasak yan. 2043 02:00:24,500 --> 02:00:27,460 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Let me, another, one last. 2044 02:00:27,460 --> 02:00:31,920 Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B.

Tinio: So, napakita natin. 2048 02:00:42,820 --> 02:00:44,360 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: One last slide. 2049 02:00:46,080 --> 02:00:49,740 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Even, so mukhang, dalawa actually. 2050 02:00:50,920 --> 02:00:52,140 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: One is tidal wave. 2051 02:00:53,160 --> 02:00:54,140 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tidal wave. 2052 02:00:55,200 --> 02:00:55,480 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. 2053 02:00:55,480 --> 02:00:55,600 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. 2054 02:00:55,600 --> 02:00:57,880 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: What is tidal wave? 2055 02:00:57,980 --> 02:01:06,780 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tidal wave was a recent major report issued by Heritage, the Washington think tank, the renowned Washington think tank. 2056 02:01:07,660 --> 02:01:10,480 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tungkol ito, 400 pages ito. 2057 02:01:10,580 --> 02:01:17,600 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: This is a study on logistics, China, logistics of China and the US in time of war. 2058 02:01:18,480 --> 02:01:24,320 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kung magkaroon daw ng gera, ano mangyayari sa, ano maging risulta from the point of view of logistics? 2059 02:01:24,320 --> 02:01:25,360 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano ang sabi? 2060 02:01:25,600 --> 02:01:26,180 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dito. 2061 02:01:27,020 --> 02:01:39,580 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang sabi dito ay, sabi ng Heritage Foundation, hindi daw tatagal ng isang linggo ang ammunition supplies ng US in an all-out war with China. 2062 02:01:40,180 --> 02:01:40,820 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: One week. 2063 02:01:41,660 --> 02:01:50,960 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And then, hindi tatagal daw ng isang buwan ang kanilang fuel supply in a war with China. 2064 02:01:51,280 --> 02:01:55,160 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: This was issued by Heritage, as you can see, in January. 2065 02:01:55,600 --> 02:01:57,040 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 2026. 2066 02:02:01,020 --> 02:02:02,600 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Before the Iran War. 2067 02:02:03,440 --> 02:02:06,120 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So ngayon, mas kinumpirman ng realidad. 2068 02:02:06,860 --> 02:02:16,080 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kung Iran pa lang ang kalaban, medyo naubusan na ng bala at hirap na ng logistics ang US. 2069 02:02:16,800 --> 02:02:19,100 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Paano pa ngayon sa China? 2070 02:02:19,100 --> 02:02:25,100 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And then the final study that I would like to present here is one issued by... 2071 02:02:25,600 --> 02:02:28,720 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: by the Washington think tank, again, Defense Priorities. 2072 02:02:29,660 --> 02:02:37,200 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Itong think tank na ito is funded by the American billionaire Koch, the Koch brothers. 2073 02:02:38,100 --> 02:02:40,020 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: These are right-wing billionaires. 2074 02:02:40,280 --> 02:02:41,520 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Mas right-wing pa kay Trump. 2075 02:02:42,600 --> 02:02:43,980 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ano ang nilabas nila recently? 2076 02:02:44,200 --> 02:02:50,940 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Just this September 10, they are proposing a second island chain strategy for Asia. 2077 02:02:51,720 --> 02:02:51,860 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No? 2078 02:02:51,860 --> 02:02:55,300 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: What do they mean by a second island chain strategy? 2079 02:02:55,600 --> 02:02:56,020 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: For Asia? 2080 02:02:56,620 --> 02:03:05,600 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sabi po dito, this is a strategy that shifts US military commitments and presence 2081 02:03:05,600 --> 02:03:12,280 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: from the vulnerable first island chain toward a more defensible second island chain, 2082 02:03:12,520 --> 02:03:18,100 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: which would reduce US military requirements and the risk of a war with China 2083 02:03:18,100 --> 02:03:20,680 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: while still protecting US interests. 2084 02:03:21,480 --> 02:03:25,100 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And then second, the United States should narrow its defense commitments 2085 02:03:25,600 --> 02:03:31,220 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: in the region, shifting to a clear non-intervention position on Taiwan, 2086 02:03:32,020 --> 02:03:37,960 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ending mutual defense alliances with South Korea, Australia, the Philippines, and Japan, 2087 02:03:38,840 --> 02:03:43,520 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: and negotiating narrow and flexible security partnerships in their place. 2088 02:03:44,380 --> 02:03:47,660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: US military posture should change accordingly. 2089 02:03:48,480 --> 02:03:49,560 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, yan na po ang posisyon. 2090 02:03:49,560 --> 02:03:55,260 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kung baga, may pagtanggap na in certain circles in Washington, 2091 02:03:55,600 --> 02:03:57,360 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the most conservative circles, 2092 02:03:57,520 --> 02:04:00,800 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sabi nila, di na kayang depensahan ng US 2093 02:04:00,800 --> 02:04:04,960 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang first island chain, atras tayo sa second island chain. 2094 02:04:05,620 --> 02:04:07,740 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ibig sabihin nun, as far back as Guam. 2095 02:04:08,600 --> 02:04:08,680 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No? 2096 02:04:10,140 --> 02:04:17,340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At sabi nga, huwag na, let us leave behind the mutual defense treaties 2097 02:04:17,340 --> 02:04:21,540 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: because hindi na raw kayang ng US ang commitment na to. 2098 02:04:21,540 --> 02:04:25,340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, in favor of more to them, 2099 02:04:25,600 --> 02:04:26,220 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: flexible arrangements. 2100 02:04:26,420 --> 02:04:30,600 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ito, hindi mga kaliwa ang nagpo-propose nito, 2101 02:04:30,740 --> 02:04:32,960 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung mga pinakakanan sa US. 2102 02:04:33,620 --> 02:04:36,720 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Now, my final point and question is, 2103 02:04:36,800 --> 02:04:40,480 Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B.

Tinio: Okay, sa ganitong realidad ngayon, 2105 02:04:43,040 --> 02:04:48,200 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: tama po ba na patuloy na panindigan pa rin 2106 02:04:48,200 --> 02:04:50,280 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng Marcos Jr. Administration 2107 02:04:50,280 --> 02:04:54,080 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at ng Department of National Defense 2108 02:04:54,080 --> 02:04:55,300 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang kanilang, 2109 02:04:55,600 --> 02:04:59,460 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: patuloy na pagkapit 2110 02:04:59,460 --> 02:05:03,700 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa Mutual Defense Treaty with the US, 2111 02:05:04,220 --> 02:05:07,180 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: given that events have shown 2112 02:05:07,180 --> 02:05:11,440 Rep. Antonio L.

Dagooc: ah, correct me if I'm wrong, no, 2174 02:07:24,440 --> 02:07:27,280 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: ito yung nabasa ko. 2175 02:07:27,280 --> 02:07:33,640 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: May performance report tayo sa Land Forces Defense Program, no. 2176 02:07:33,640 --> 02:07:38,400 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: The performance report shows that the Philippine Army 2177 02:07:38,400 --> 02:07:43,840 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: achieved only 64 percent of its 81 percent target 2178 02:07:43,840 --> 02:07:48,800 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: for tactical units in prescribed readiness condition, 2179 02:07:48,800 --> 02:07:54,080 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: and only 28 percent of its 79 percent target 2180 02:07:54,080 --> 02:07:59,580 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: for ready reserve units in prescribed readiness condition. 2181 02:07:59,580 --> 02:08:02,840 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: The SEAD report states that 2182 02:08:02,840 --> 02:08:10,680 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: the shortfall was partly due to the rebump of the Philippine Army readiness rating system 2183 02:08:10,680 --> 02:08:17,380 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: aimed at determining and resolving the capability shortfalls of existing tactical units. 2184 02:08:17,380 --> 02:08:20,620 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: So, the question, Distinguished Sponsor, 2185 02:08:20,620 --> 02:08:21,940 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: ah, is this. 2186 02:08:21,940 --> 02:08:23,920 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: If the readiness rating system is not suitable, 2187 02:08:23,980 --> 02:08:26,740 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: if the readiness rating system was changed in a way 2188 02:08:26,740 --> 02:08:30,420 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: that lowered the reported accomplishment, 2189 02:08:30,420 --> 02:08:35,440 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: how can we be sure that the Army's actual fighting capability 2190 02:08:35,440 --> 02:08:41,120 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: has not been overstated in the previous years? 2191 02:08:41,120 --> 02:08:52,440 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Importante to sakin, dami kong mga kamag-anak dyan eh. 2192 02:08:52,440 --> 02:08:53,820 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, ah, 2193 02:08:53,820 --> 02:08:55,520 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: the reason that, ah, 2194 02:08:55,520 --> 02:08:58,660 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: there has to be adjustments with standards, 2195 02:08:58,660 --> 02:09:03,320 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: ah, particularly because, ah, threats are also evolving. 2196 02:09:03,320 --> 02:09:05,420 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So that is the reason why, ah, 2197 02:09:05,420 --> 02:09:06,880 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: besides that, ah, 2198 02:09:06,880 --> 02:09:12,420 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: the scope of the mission areas also, ah, change. 2199 02:09:12,420 --> 02:09:16,120 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So that is the reason for the higher, ah, 2200 02:09:16,120 --> 02:09:19,220 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: well, higher standards, really like the different standards. 2201 02:09:19,220 --> 02:09:22,420 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Ah, but there is an assurance that, ah, 2202 02:09:22,420 --> 02:09:23,660 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: hindi naman po na-overstate. 2203 02:09:23,660 --> 02:09:29,860 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yung mga, ah, mga performance, ah, indicators from previous years. 2204 02:09:29,860 --> 02:09:33,920 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: It's more of ngayon lang po talaga kailangan i-adjust yung standards, 2205 02:09:33,920 --> 02:09:36,960 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: ah, given nag-iiba po talaga yung mga threats 2206 02:09:36,960 --> 02:09:41,120 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: and nag-iiba rin po yung scope of, ah, mission areas. 2207 02:09:41,120 --> 02:09:42,660 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker. 2208 02:09:42,660 --> 02:09:45,320 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Ah, naintindihan ko po, no? 2209 02:09:45,320 --> 02:09:53,500 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Ah, however, is there, ah, concrete steps that the Department has taken 2210 02:09:53,500 --> 02:09:59,860 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: to ensure that this revamp will actually improve unit readiness 2211 02:09:59,860 --> 02:10:05,500 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: and not simply change the way readiness is measured on paper? 2212 02:10:13,500 --> 02:10:15,500 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Talagang totohanan po ito. 2213 02:10:50,310 --> 02:10:52,670 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Ah, Mr. Speaker, 2214 02:10:52,670 --> 02:10:54,140 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: This is a continuing process. 2215 02:10:55,300 --> 02:10:56,620 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: May rescoping po talaga 2216 02:10:56,620 --> 02:10:57,120 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: and rescaling. 2217 02:10:59,500 --> 02:11:00,100 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: But 2218 02:11:00,100 --> 02:11:02,620 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: the idea is that 2219 02:11:02,620 --> 02:11:04,720 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: we always upgrade. 2220 02:11:05,300 --> 02:11:06,600 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: We adjust based 2221 02:11:06,600 --> 02:11:08,580 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: on the current threats and also we have to 2222 02:11:08,580 --> 02:11:10,320 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: meet those targets and those standards 2223 02:11:10,320 --> 02:11:10,880 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: that we set. 2224 02:11:13,780 --> 02:11:14,920 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Lastly na lang, 2225 02:11:15,200 --> 02:11:18,340 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: if the readiness rating 2226 02:11:18,340 --> 02:11:19,780 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: revamp was intended, 2227 02:11:20,660 --> 02:11:22,320 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, 2228 02:11:22,340 --> 02:11:24,420 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: to determine unresolved 2229 02:11:24,420 --> 02:11:25,900 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: capability shortfalls, 2230 02:11:26,940 --> 02:11:28,420 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: why did the actual 2231 02:11:28,420 --> 02:11:30,700 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: accomplishment drop so sharply 2232 02:11:30,700 --> 02:11:32,340 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: from 81% 2233 02:11:32,940 --> 02:11:34,460 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: target 2234 02:11:34,460 --> 02:11:36,340 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: to 64% actual 2235 02:11:36,340 --> 02:11:38,580 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: for tactical units 2236 02:11:38,580 --> 02:11:40,340 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: and from 79% 2237 02:11:40,900 --> 02:11:42,640 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: to 28% 2238 02:11:42,640 --> 02:11:44,440 Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc: actual for 2239 02:11:44,440 --> 02:11:46,400 Rep. Sergio C.

Suansing: indicators, 2244 02:11:57,020 --> 02:11:58,300 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: so the actual numbers that our 2245 02:11:58,300 --> 02:11:59,040 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: distinguished colleague 2246 02:11:59,040 --> 02:12:02,140 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: said, was 2247 02:12:02,140 --> 02:12:03,880 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: actually measured po 2248 02:12:03,880 --> 02:12:05,940 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: when we introduced those standards, 2249 02:12:06,580 --> 02:12:07,500 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: the new standards. 2250 02:12:08,320 --> 02:12:10,680 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Kaya po, nagka-shortfall 2251 02:12:10,680 --> 02:12:12,520 Rep. Bella Vanessa B.
