De Jesus: monitoring both the asr-000149 00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:13.480 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: petroleum market and asr-000150 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:15.620 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: downstream markets for asr-000151 00:14:15.620 --> 00:14:17.840 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: anti-competitive conduct. asr-000152 00:14:18.460 --> 00:14:19.560 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: There are also calls from asr-000153 00:14:19.560 --> 00:14:20.920 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: experts to examine asr-000154 00:14:20.920 --> 00:14:23.700 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: possible cartel-like behavior asr-000155 00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:25.500 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: and improve coordination asr-000156 00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:27.060 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: in enforcing asr-000157 00:14:27.060 --> 00:14:28.760 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: competition rules. asr-000158 00:14:29.400 --> 00:14:31.340 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: My question to the good sponsor, asr-000159 00:14:31.520 --> 00:14:32.200 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Mr. Speaker, asr-000160 00:14:33.420 --> 00:14:35.080 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: is this has the PCC asr-000161 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.180 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: move beyond asr-000162 00:14:37.180 --> 00:14:39.480 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: monitoring and actually asr-000163 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.840 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: commence a formal investigation asr-000164 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:43.120 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: or asr-000165 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:44.560 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: motu proprio inquiry asr-000166 00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:47.380 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: into the conduct of oil companies asr-000167 00:14:47.380 --> 00:14:48.600 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: during that period? asr-000168 00:14:51.980 --> 00:14:53.700 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: PCC is conducting asr-000169 00:14:53.700 --> 00:14:54.800 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: a fuel study asr-000170 00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:56.740 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: which aims to assess asr-000171 00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:59.000 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: asymmetry in price adjustments. asr-000172 00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:00.300 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Example, asr-000173 00:15:00.785 --> 00:15:21.680 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: When stations price increase rapidly with international prices but adjust slowly when this cost decrease, it also aims to look at price dispersion within a city and determine whether particular stations or brands show delayed rollback or remain persistently above local market prices. asr-000174 00:15:23.020 --> 00:15:28.640 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: The study is ongoing pending data requests with fuel players and government agencies. asr-000175 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:40.340 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: PCC has started gathering and analyzing industry data to determine whether firm behavior during this time reflect a competitive environment or not. asr-000176 00:15:41.060 --> 00:15:47.660 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Specifically looking at how firms adjust prices with and without the supply shocks. asr-000177 00:15:48.520 --> 00:15:57.060 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: PCC issued requests for information to key players in the industry, some of which have complied with the request. asr-000178 00:15:57.060 --> 00:15:59.980 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: At present, the PCC is analyzing the industry data. asr-000179 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:08.360 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: The PCC is analyzing the data to determine whether the behavior of the key players indicate possible anti-competitive conduct. asr-000180 00:16:08.780 --> 00:16:15.100 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: The PCC has received request data from the DOA today, September 18, 2026. asr-000181 00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:19.360 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor. asr-000182 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:29.980 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Mr. Speaker, Good Sponsor, a few days ago, I have raised urgent concerns related to privacy risks in digital platforms. asr-000183 00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:51.160 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Incidentally, I came across the information that PCC's market study on social media and search platform found that the Philippines' digital platform market is highly concentrated and identified the accumulation of user data as a potential source of market power. asr-000184 00:16:51.160 --> 00:16:58.840 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: It specifically discussed Facebook and Google and observed that data advantages, asr-000185 00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:05.760 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: network effects, and economies of scale may reinforce barriers to entry. asr-000186 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:12.660 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: What does the PCC intend to do with these findings beyond publishing the market study? asr-000187 00:17:14.700 --> 00:17:22.840 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: The PCC has recommended incorporating data privacy considerations more explicitly into competition assessments. asr-000188 00:17:22.840 --> 00:17:27.840 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Studying data, portability, and interoperability. asr-000189 00:17:28.840 --> 00:17:39.600 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Strengthening coordination with privacy regulators and considering legislative measures to update the competition framework for data-driven markets. asr-000190 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.700 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor. asr-000191 00:17:44.700 --> 00:17:54.420 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: In 2024, the PCC received substantial resources for the capacity building to foster competition projects, asr-000192 00:17:54.940 --> 00:17:57.700 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: but only 34% of the continuing... asr-000193 00:17:58.840 --> 00:18:02.540 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: appropriation for the foreign-assisted project was obligated. asr-000194 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:03.840 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Is that correct? asr-000195 00:18:06.360 --> 00:18:07.040 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Yes. asr-000196 00:18:07.840 --> 00:18:13.540 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: We note that said amount is part of the continuing appropriation for the project released in 2023. asr-000197 00:18:13.540 --> 00:18:20.340 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: At that time, PCC requested for the issuance of SARO amounting 104 million only. asr-000198 00:18:21.380 --> 00:18:24.940 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Equivalent to the loan proceeds downloaded by ADB, however, asr-000199 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:28.700 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: DBM issued 280 million instead. asr-000200 00:18:28.840 --> 00:18:30.840 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Which resulted to the excess resources. asr-000201 00:18:31.840 --> 00:18:33.840 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. asr-000202 00:18:36.360 --> 00:18:41.620 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: ADB's project data showed that as of June 23, 2026, asr-000203 00:18:42.620 --> 00:18:50.300 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: cumulative contract awards were only 45% and cumulative loan disbursements were 41% asr-000204 00:18:50.300 --> 00:18:54.840 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: and the loan has now been extended to June 30, 2028. asr-000205 00:18:54.840 --> 00:18:58.820 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Those figures are not identical to COA's asr-000206 00:18:58.840 --> 00:19:03.160 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: fiscal year 2024 utilization ratios asr-000207 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:11.480 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: but they still indicate that the substantial portion of the project financing remained undisbursed. asr-000208 00:19:12.360 --> 00:19:14.840 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Before Congress provides additional appropriation, asr-000209 00:19:14.840 --> 00:19:22.720 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: can the PCC give us its quarterly obligation and disbursement target for fiscal year 2027 asr-000210 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:28.280 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: and identify exactly what activities will absorb these funds. asr-000211 00:19:28.840 --> 00:19:42.680 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: The PCC can point to the loan extension, revised procurement, programming, additional project proposals, and strengthened monitoring as measures intended to accelerate implementation. asr-000212 00:19:46.210 --> 00:20:01.450 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And for my last question, how many pending antitrust or pending cases have been filed or are being reviewed by the Philippine Competition Commission? asr-000213 00:20:20.800 --> 00:20:24.950 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: There are seven active cases ongoing, Your Honor. asr-000213-split-2 00:20:24.950 --> 00:20:37.930 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Can we divulge what those seven are, or will it be against the PCC's confidentiality clause? asr-000213-split-3 00:20:37.930 --> 00:20:43.620 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: We will submit the complete data to you, Your Honor, for you to review. asr-000214 00:20:43.870 --> 00:21:12.660 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Okay. Thank you. Because, Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, you know the Philippine Competition Commission plays a big role, especially to those merging companies, no, para hindi ho tayo maiwanan sa ere at walang collusion, especially po pagdating sa fuel. As you know, malaki ang problema natin sa fuel ngayon, and I hope the PCC will take cognizance when it comes to energy sources. Again, asr-000215 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:23.720 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, and I always [unclear] for your budget for PCC for this year. Thank you very much. asr-000216 00:21:24.220 --> 00:21:27.760 Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Thank you, Honorable De Jesus, Majority Leader. asr-000217 00:21:28.840 --> 00:21:34.080 Rep. Rhea Mae A. Gullas: Mr. Speaker, I move that we recognize the Honorable Robert Nazal for his interpellation. asr-000218 00:21:34.800 --> 00:21:39.620 Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: The Honorable Robert Nazal of Partylist BH is recognized. Please proceed. asr-000219 00:21:39.620 --> 00:21:42.500 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Good evening, Mr. Chair. asr-000220 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:59.020 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, may I ask the PCC, have you studied what happens when a major retailer is both the gatekeeper of the market and a competitor of suppliers selling inside its stores? asr-000221 00:22:01.420 --> 00:22:02.140 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Yes. asr-000223 00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:07.340 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Pinag-aaralan niyo po yan. asr-000224 00:22:07.840 --> 00:22:08.100 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Yes. asr-000225 00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:12.320 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Major retailers carry products made by independent suppliers. asr-000226 00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:17.240 Rep. Roberto Nazal: But they may also develop their own private label products. asr-000227 00:22:18.060 --> 00:22:23.640 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Sometimes products very similar to those already being successfully sold by their suppliers. asr-000228 00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:28.840 Rep. Roberto Nazal: So there is nothing inherently illegal about private labels. asr-000229 00:22:28.840 --> 00:22:42.500 Rep. Roberto Nazal: But the retailer knows what sells, controls the shelf, and counter space, controls inventory and promotions, asr-000230 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:47.220 Rep. Roberto Nazal: and then competes against the supplier with its own product. asr-000231 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:48.920 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Nangyayari po ito. asr-000232 00:22:50.020 --> 00:22:53.300 Rep. Roberto Nazal: At what point does this become a competition concern? asr-000233 00:22:54.060 --> 00:22:55.840 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Or when does it become? asr-000234 00:22:56.180 --> 00:23:00.200 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Inaanalyze po ba natin when it becomes predatory in practice? asr-000240 00:23:24.010 --> 00:23:31.560 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: The PCC is closely monitoring that's happening and a thorough investigation will be conducted. asr-000241 00:23:32.040 --> 00:23:42.360 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Meron na po ba kayong nakitang mga ganito? And were there complaints, for example, that were filed with the PCC that was actually investigated upon? asr-000242 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:43.600 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: There were minor complaints. asr-000243 00:23:44.900 --> 00:23:51.760 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And what intervention, Mr. Chair and distinguished colleague, ang ginawa po ng PCC? asr-000244 00:23:52.340 --> 00:24:03.160 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: There were minor complaints but it was given an attention and it was informed to the manufacturer. asr-000245 00:24:04.600 --> 00:24:09.320 Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, meron po ba tayong portal na pwedeng magreklamo ang, let's say, SMEs? asr-000246 00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:12.440 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: We can use the website. asr-000247 00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:16.200 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Of the PCC and the social media. asr-000248 00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:32.620 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And is it very easy to file a complaint? And once an SME, for example, files a complaint against any predatory practice, ganong katagal ang response time? asr-000249 00:24:35.100 --> 00:24:42.500 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Yes, pwedeng madali ang mag-file ng complaint kasi pwede sa online at sa Facebook page ng PCC. asr-000250 00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:46.720 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Kaya ganon, kadali ang pag-file, may investigation kagad. asr-000251 00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:51.560 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair, distinguished colleague, let me give a practical example. asr-000252 00:24:52.500 --> 00:25:00.920 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kung may independent brand na successful, then the retailer comes out with a very similar own brand product at a lower price. asr-000253 00:25:02.100 --> 00:25:07.680 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Tapos yung sariling brand niya, prominently displayed and readily available sa counter. asr-000254 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:11.680 Rep. Roberto Nazal: While yung competing product, wala doon, kailangan magbayad. asr-000255 00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:15.640 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Tapos yung staff, kailangan pang umalas para kunin. asr-000256 00:25:16.460 --> 00:25:19.900 Rep. Roberto Nazal: The retailer controls both the competition and the playing field. asr-000257 00:25:20.820 --> 00:25:23.700 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Does the PCC examine practices like this? asr-000258 00:25:27.300 --> 00:25:28.440 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Yes, yes. asr-000259 00:25:31.760 --> 00:25:35.020 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: That's called self-preferencing. asr-000260 00:25:36.180 --> 00:25:41.680 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And ano pong actions ang pwede natin gawin in case meron tayong nahuhuling ganito? asr-000261 00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:52.500 Rep. Roberto Nazal: What intervention can the PCC do in behalf of those experiencing predatory practices? asr-000262 00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:59.180 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: The PCC can file a case against the retailer. asr-000263 00:26:00.420 --> 00:26:03.880 Rep. Roberto Nazal: What if the retailer po is a giant? asr-000264 00:26:11.060 --> 00:26:12.240 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Malakas, ha? asr-000265 00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:19.020 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And pwede po niyang balikan kasi yung halimbawa, pwede niyang balikan yung SME. asr-000266 00:26:19.020 --> 00:26:27.920 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And if there are only a few retailers in the country, paano po ang mangyayari kung ang gagawin niya, asr-000267 00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:33.280 Rep. Roberto Nazal: ang magiging balik niya doon sa nagreklamo, ay ibabanan niya sa shelf? asr-000268 00:26:33.780 --> 00:26:41.900 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: The PCC is mandated. May mandato ang PCC na kahit malaking tao man lang, kahit gaano kalaki, pwedeng sagasaan. asr-000269 00:26:41.900 --> 00:26:42.500 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And the PCC? asr-000270 00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:47.700 Rep. Roberto Nazal: The PCC guarantees that it can protect small players against practices such as this. asr-000271 00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:48.800 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Definitely. asr-000272 00:26:48.800 --> 00:26:52.580 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you for that, Mr. Chair, distinguished sponsor. asr-000273 00:26:54.180 --> 00:27:05.820 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair, has PCC ever conducted a market study comparing how major retailers treat their own private label products versus competing independent brands? asr-000274 00:27:07.080 --> 00:27:10.880 Rep. Roberto Nazal: In shelf and counter placement, inventory availability, asr-000275 00:27:11.620 --> 00:27:11.880 Rep. Roberto Nazal: promotion, asr-000276 00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:15.260 Rep. Roberto Nazal: access to sales data, asr-000277 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:16.300 Rep. Roberto Nazal: pricing, asr-000278 00:27:16.900 --> 00:27:17.720 Rep. Roberto Nazal: supplier fees, asr-000279 00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:18.500 Rep. Roberto Nazal: payment terms, asr-000280 00:27:18.620 --> 00:27:19.520 Rep. Roberto Nazal: and other conditions. asr-000281 00:27:20.600 --> 00:27:25.480 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Because ang concern po natin is not simply that they copied the product or made something cheaper. asr-000282 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:33.300 Rep. Roberto Nazal: The concern is whether a powerful retailer can identify a successful product from one of its suppliers, asr-000283 00:27:34.800 --> 00:27:36.580 Rep. Roberto Nazal: introduce its own competing version, asr-000284 00:27:36.580 --> 00:27:42.180 Rep. Roberto Nazal: and then use its control of the retail channel to give its own product. asr-000285 00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:47.260 Rep. Roberto Nazal: An unfair advantage, and eventually squeeze the independent supplier out. asr-000286 00:27:48.260 --> 00:27:53.040 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Does our present competition framework adequately protect against that? asr-000287 00:27:53.040 --> 00:27:54.040 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you very much. asr-000288 00:27:57.240 --> 00:28:08.880 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Wala pang public study, but we had compelled a very big retailer to be fair. asr-000289 00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:12.200 Rep. Roberto Nazal: So ano pong kailangan na? asr-000290 00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:18.620 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Is there anything you need, for example, from Congress in terms of amending your charter, strengthening it? asr-000291 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:29.300 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Meron po ba tayo naiisip na mga pwede natin baguhin para po palakasin at bigyan ng pangil ang Philippine Competition Commission asr-000292 00:28:29.300 --> 00:28:35.540 Rep. Roberto Nazal: para po lalo natin maprotektahan ang ating mga maliliit na nag-uumpisang maghanap buhay? asr-000297 00:28:39.180 --> 00:28:42.180 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: There is a pending bill on the committee. asr-000298 00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:45.680 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: On economic affairs, I think. asr-000299 00:28:46.180 --> 00:28:50.280 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: And the PCC is closely working with the committee. asr-000300 00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:56.200 Rep. Roberto Nazal: I would like to co-author that, Mr. Chair, and the distinguished sponsor. asr-000301 00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:03.000 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair, is PCC looking at the same gatekeeper problem in online platforms asr-000302 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:09.500 Rep. Roberto Nazal: where the operator of the marketplace may also sell or promote products that compete with merchants asr-000303 00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:12.180 Rep. Roberto Nazal: dependent on that marketplace? asr-000304 00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:19.200 Rep. Roberto Nazal: What safeguards does PCC consider necessary when the platform or retailer controls both asr-000305 00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:22.200 Rep. Roberto Nazal: access to customer and the competitive environment? asr-000306 00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:29.200 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Para sa online naman po ito, distinguished sponsor. asr-000307 00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:34.200 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Yes, we are looking to it. asr-000308 00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:38.930 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: And in terms of safeguarding the… asr-000318 00:29:51.970 --> 00:29:54.450 Rep. Roberto Nazal: [unclear] asr-000323 00:30:02.350 --> 00:30:17.860 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: We are closely monitoring the market, and if there is a violation, we are bound to file a complaint. asr-000324 00:30:18.010 --> 00:30:34.100 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kaya ako po tinatanong ito, Distinguished Sponsor, Mr. Speaker. Kasi po, ang napansin ko, noon, lalo na nung pandemic, naging advantage po ngayon yung online retailers. asr-000325 00:30:34.140 --> 00:30:46.160 Rep. Roberto Nazal: So yung online platforms were helping yung ating maliliit na negosyante. Parang ang lumalabas ngayon, yung ating mga retailers, giant retailers, asr-000326 00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:56.420 Rep. Roberto Nazal: tsaka yung online at digital platforms are already charging, if not the same, yung ating digital platforms are charging even more. asr-000327 00:30:57.620 --> 00:31:03.080 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And ang gusto ko po sanang alamin is kung natitignan po natin yung charges na sinisingil nila. asr-000328 00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:14.680 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kasi if you will ask and do conduct a study or maybe an online survey, tanungin nyo po yung mga nagbibenta online. asr-000329 00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:20.060 Rep. Roberto Nazal: The digital platforms are now charging maybe up to 60%. asr-000330 00:31:20.060 --> 00:31:28.460 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And parang ang nangyayari, kung 100 pesos yung binibenta mo, 60 pesos na yung kinukuha nila, minsan 70 pesos pa. asr-000331 00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:32.320 Rep. Roberto Nazal: So ang matitira sa'yo, 30 pesos, kukunin mo pa dun yung cost mo. asr-000332 00:31:35.060 --> 00:31:43.020 Rep. Roberto Nazal: So my concern is the PCC looking into that. Kasi po, dapat ho, I think it's about time that we monitor this. asr-000333 00:31:43.020 --> 00:31:45.620 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kasi kung ano-anong charges ang nilalagay nila. asr-000334 00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:56.020 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: We have looked into the digital platforms but not into that specific issue but we will see it now. asr-000335 00:31:56.340 --> 00:31:57.920 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Thank you for that, Distinguished Sponsor. asr-000336 00:31:58.740 --> 00:32:12.960 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair, Distinguished Sponsor, have you also studied the competition implications when a conglomerate owns both a bank and businesses in sectors heavily dependent on financing such as real estate? asr-000337 00:32:13.020 --> 00:32:26.180 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Even if related party lending complies with banking regulations, can preferential access to financing reinforce market power in the conglomerate's non-banking business? asr-000338 00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:31.380 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And has PCC studied this as a structural competition issue? asr-000339 00:32:35.940 --> 00:32:42.840 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Ang tinatanong ko po ay yung possible whether PCC studies cross-sector competitive effects. asr-000340 00:32:43.020 --> 00:32:45.260 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Yes, we have. asr-000341 00:32:45.860 --> 00:32:47.980 Rep. Roberto Nazal: So you're already looking into that, Mr. Chair? asr-000342 00:32:49.300 --> 00:32:51.540 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Distinguished Sponsor, the PCC? asr-000343 00:32:51.540 --> 00:32:52.180 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Yes, we have. asr-000344 00:32:53.180 --> 00:32:59.800 Rep. Roberto Nazal: So meron na po ba kayong nakita na, for example, industry na because of this, nagkakaroon ng unfair advantage? asr-000345 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:09.140 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And if this is so, what is the, ano po ang gagawin ng PCC in order to help level the playing field? asr-000346 00:33:13.020 --> 00:33:20.900 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: So far, wala pang nakikitang ganyan. Pero pag meron, rest assured na maaksyonan kagalit. asr-000347 00:33:20.900 --> 00:33:28.680 Rep. Roberto Nazal: So baka po pwede natin tignan, maybe we can use AI to look into this kung ano po yung mga possible effects. asr-000348 00:33:28.800 --> 00:33:31.900 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kasi siyempre, magkakaroon po ng unfair advantage, di ba? asr-000349 00:33:34.100 --> 00:33:42.900 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Mr. Chair, Mr. Chair, Distinguished Colleague, the PCC's proposed 2027 budget is approximately 832 million. asr-000350 00:33:43.020 --> 00:33:47.460 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Including funding for competition, capacity building. asr-000351 00:33:48.900 --> 00:33:54.220 Rep. Roberto Nazal: What concrete sector reviews and enforcement milestones will this funding deliver? asr-000352 00:33:55.060 --> 00:34:01.020 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Particularly for retail, digital platforms, and other highly concentrated markets. asr-000353 00:34:01.780 --> 00:34:10.260 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Will the PCC use its own investigative authority proactively rather than require small businesses to initiate every case? asr-000354 00:34:10.600 --> 00:34:12.540 Rep. Roberto Nazal: So ang tinatanong po natin is, asr-000355 00:34:13.020 --> 00:34:20.320 Rep. Roberto Nazal: mag-aantay pa po ba tayo ng mga complaint bago tayong makagalaw? asr-000356 00:34:20.420 --> 00:34:25.660 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Or will we proactively seek measures which will protect small businesses? asr-000357 00:34:37.860 --> 00:34:42.420 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: We actively monitor the social medias. asr-000358 00:34:43.020 --> 00:34:49.180 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: And any complaint, and we will immediately act on this matter. asr-000359 00:34:49.540 --> 00:34:52.300 Rep. Roberto Nazal: May I request for a plan? asr-000360 00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:57.260 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Kung ano, how do you intend to spend the 832 million? asr-000361 00:34:57.860 --> 00:35:07.020 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And ano po yung safeguards na pwede na, safeguards that you plan to impose? asr-000362 00:35:07.020 --> 00:35:10.740 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Plan sector studies, measurable outputs. asr-000363 00:35:11.860 --> 00:35:12.860 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And how SMEs? asr-000364 00:35:13.020 --> 00:35:18.900 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And suppliers can safely provide market information without fear of commercial retaliation? asr-000365 00:35:20.540 --> 00:35:22.680 Rep. Dante S. Garcia: Yes, Your Honor, we will provide you a copy. asr-000366 00:35:28.500 --> 00:35:34.240 Rep. Roberto Nazal: So, I'm, that's all for all, para sa mga tanong ko. asr-000367 00:35:34.560 --> 00:35:35.920 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Maraming salamat sa PCC. asr-000368 00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:42.220 Rep. Roberto Nazal: And I hope the PCC will proactively craft, asr-000369 00:35:43.020 --> 00:35:51.380 Rep. Roberto Nazal: proactively craft measures na makakatulong po at makakaprotekta po sa ating maliliit na naghahanap buhay. asr-000370 00:35:51.540 --> 00:35:52.260 Rep. Roberto Nazal: Maraming salamat po. asr-000371 00:35:53.620 --> 00:35:55.000 Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Thank you, Honorable Nazal. asr-000372 00:35:55.100 --> 00:35:59.220 Rep.

Suansing: But as per the finalization of the reports for fiscal year 2020, asr-000930 01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:06.580 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: the GCG is dependent on the submission of COA financial statement. asr-000931 01:00:07.220 --> 01:00:10.720 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So as of now, review is still currently ongoing, Mr. Speaker. asr-000932 01:00:10.860 --> 01:00:15.480 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So do we expect that later this year or it's going to be next year? asr-000933 01:00:16.300 --> 01:00:17.980 Rep. Bella Vanessa B.

De Jesus: How many of them? asr-000936 01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:54.000 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: For, Mr. Speaker, for clarification, director, total directors for all the GOCCs that are being reviewed, total. asr-000937 01:00:57.540 --> 01:00:59.820 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: We're pulling up the actual number. asr-000940 01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:03.880 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So estimated around, approximately around 500 directors, Mr. Speaker. asr-000941 01:01:04.420 --> 01:01:06.800 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor. asr-000942 01:01:10.240 --> 01:01:21.200 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Mr. Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, could the good sponsor provide the following information for the consideration of this body? asr-000943 01:01:21.680 --> 01:01:29.940 Rep. Presley C.

De Jesus: and the current status of GCG's institutional review. asr-000945 01:01:36.600 --> 01:01:46.940 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: It's important because the new DBM policy says they are now subject to mandatory institutional review to be conducted by GCG. asr-000946 01:01:48.380 --> 01:01:52.080 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kasi po, meron na pong DBM policy na bago ngayon. asr-000947 01:01:53.080 --> 01:01:58.080 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker, just to clarify, the first would be the amount of government support received by the GOCCs. asr-000948 01:01:58.080 --> 01:02:01.060 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: What's the second one, Mr. Speaker? asr-000949 01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:08.060 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: No, that's the question because I'm just interjecting that there's a new DBM policy. asr-000950 01:02:09.160 --> 01:02:16.520 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Now, they have to be subjected for mandatory institutional review to be conducted by GCG. asr-000951 01:02:16.520 --> 01:02:21.720 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, sir.

Suansing: However, just an overall observation regarding the amount of government support, asr-000956 01:02:48.600 --> 01:02:56.940 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: it's been declining given that those GOCCs that previously needed government support are now improving in performance. asr-000957 01:02:57.140 --> 01:02:58.040 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you. asr-000958 01:02:58.060 --> 01:02:58.700 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. asr-000959 01:03:04.220 --> 01:03:11.220 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: According to GCG's classification as of June 30, 2026, asr-000960 01:03:11.940 --> 01:03:16.420 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: there are 21 corporations classified under abolition, asr-000961 01:03:17.880 --> 01:03:20.860 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: meaning they are being considered for closure, asr-000962 01:03:22.180 --> 01:03:26.280 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: winding down or absorption into other government corporations. asr-000963 01:03:26.920 --> 01:03:38.460 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: GCG was subsequently reported as saying that the Commission hopes to complete the liquidation of at least five of them within 2026. asr-000964 01:03:39.300 --> 01:03:41.060 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Is that still the target? asr-000965 01:03:43.640 --> 01:03:44.280 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes. asr-000966 01:03:44.780 --> 01:03:46.420 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker, that is correct. asr-000967 01:03:46.420 --> 01:03:55.480 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: As of June 30, there are 21 GOCCs that have been abolished and under liquidation. asr-000968 01:03:55.900 --> 01:03:56.160 Rep. Bella Vanessa B.

Suansing: And there's also 11 that has been abolished and completed liquidation. asr-000970 01:03:59.380 --> 01:04:08.360 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: As for the number of GOCCs with terminal reports to be submitted to the Office of the President, asr-000971 01:04:08.540 --> 01:04:10.200 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: there are 11 for this year. asr-000972 01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:11.220 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker. asr-000973 01:04:11.480 --> 01:04:11.620 Rep. Presley C.

De Jesus: Without prejudice to the non-disclosure, asr-000976 01:04:18.920 --> 01:04:23.020 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: may din nyo bangbanggitin kung sino mo ito or it's going under review pa rin? asr-000977 01:04:23.020 --> 01:04:26.020 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Or if not, you can submit to this... asr-000978 01:04:26.160 --> 01:04:29.600 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: to this body kung sino yung mga yon. asr-000979 01:04:30.140 --> 01:04:38.780 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: If you think it's going to be a violation of any rules or guidelines under GCG. asr-000980 01:04:43.920 --> 01:04:45.160 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Oh, sorry. asr-000981 01:04:45.240 --> 01:04:46.540 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: I stand corrected, Mr. Speaker. asr-000982 01:04:46.840 --> 01:04:53.160 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The number of abolished GOCCs pipeline for terminal report in 2026 is actually five. asr-000983 01:04:54.380 --> 01:04:54.500 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yeah. asr-000984 01:04:54.500 --> 01:04:55.080 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: But... asr-000985 01:04:55.080 --> 01:04:55.780 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: But... asr-000986 01:04:55.780 --> 01:04:59.340 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: That's why I was mentioned a while ago that there are still five. asr-000987 01:04:59.740 --> 01:05:02.240 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: That's why for my next question, asr-000988 01:05:03.300 --> 01:05:07.240 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: that means even five are completed this year. asr-000989 01:05:07.240 --> 01:05:11.640 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: A significant number will still remain under abolition status. asr-000990 01:05:12.140 --> 01:05:17.360 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: For how long has each of these 21 corporations been under abolition? asr-001011 01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:57.800 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Um, Mr. Speaker, given the extensive process of settling the obligations and liabilities of those GOCCs asr-001012 01:05:58.440 --> 01:06:20.860 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Those GOCCs that are non-performing, as well as the fulfillment of compromise agreements, it's a lengthy period. As early as 2013, there are still GOCCs that are being processed. So, roughly around 13 years. asr-001013 01:06:21.460 --> 01:06:28.420 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Yeah, Mr. Speaker. For the information of everyone, GOCC stands for government-owned controlled corporation. asr-001014 01:06:28.440 --> 01:06:46.020 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Am I right? And they're not asking subsidy or funding from our government, only GCG. Now, because my understanding, when you're a GOCC, you generate income. Am I right? asr-001015 01:06:47.640 --> 01:06:48.060 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes. asr-001016 01:06:48.060 --> 01:06:49.860 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker. asr-001017 01:06:49.960 --> 01:06:58.260 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, how come those 5 or 21 you mentioned, Wilco, are winding down or for abolition? Ibig ho bang sabihin? asr-001018 01:06:59.020 --> 01:07:03.880 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Nalulugi, hindi sila kumikita, or part of downsizing talaga? asr-001019 01:07:05.680 --> 01:07:18.920 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, based on the charter of the GCG and all of its guidelines, there are six qualifications for the recommendation of this positive action. asr-001020 01:07:20.120 --> 01:07:26.960 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: One, the GOCC's function is no longer relevant to state or national development policy. asr-001021 01:07:27.520 --> 01:07:28.400 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Second, it... asr-001022 01:07:28.440 --> 01:07:33.300 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: It's duplicate or unnecessarily overlaps with other government agencies. asr-001023 01:07:33.300 --> 01:07:40.240 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The third one, the GOCC is not producing desired outcomes or is no longer achieving its objectives, as stated. asr-001024 01:07:40.980 --> 01:07:45.500 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The fourth would be, the GOCC would be dormant or non-operational. asr-001025 01:07:46.420 --> 01:07:57.300 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The fifth would be, the GOCC would be involved in activities that is determined to be best carried out by a private sector firm. asr-001026 01:07:58.440 --> 01:08:04.960 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: And the sixth one would be, the GOCC's nature of operations would require consolidation under a holding company. asr-001027 01:08:05.480 --> 01:08:09.420 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, those are the six qualifications for recommendation for abolition, Mr. Speaker. asr-001028 01:08:09.420 --> 01:08:16.240 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: The number five, or I think number five, you mentioned number four, that is going to be sold to private. asr-001029 01:08:16.820 --> 01:08:18.200 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Is that what I understand? asr-001030 01:08:18.460 --> 01:08:19.580 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Tama ba yun? Intindi ko? asr-001031 01:08:20.300 --> 01:08:21.420 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Uh, there... asr-001032 01:08:23.060 --> 01:08:26.540 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Okay. asr-001033 01:08:26.540 --> 01:08:26.620 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Okay. asr-001034 01:08:28.440 --> 01:08:47.920 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The fifth one, Mr. Speaker, the GCG assesses and sees if the activity in which the GOCC is involved would be best carried out by a private sector firm. asr-001035 01:08:48.820 --> 01:08:54.260 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, when you say best carried out by a private firm, what does it mean? asr-001036 01:08:54.260 --> 01:08:57.140 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Are we going to sell it or just going to give it away? asr-001037 01:08:57.660 --> 01:08:58.260 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Anong bang... asr-001038 01:08:58.440 --> 01:09:03.840 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ang tindi sa private firm will just be carried away. asr-001039 01:09:04.260 --> 01:09:05.220 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: It will be carried out. asr-001040 01:09:17.520 --> 01:09:18.000 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Okay. asr-001043 01:09:29.520 --> 01:09:37.770 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: [unclear] asr-001044 01:09:38.430 --> 01:09:39.550 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: [unclear] asr-001049 01:09:50.650 --> 01:09:52.240 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: [unclear] asr-001066 01:10:07.690 --> 01:10:11.400 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, regarding abolition, asr-001067 01:10:11.400 --> 01:10:12.360 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: if the asr-001068 01:10:12.360 --> 01:10:14.360 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: particular GOCC would be asr-001069 01:10:14.360 --> 01:10:15.760 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: recommended for abolition, asr-001070 01:10:17.180 --> 01:10:18.000 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: it's usually asr-001071 01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:19.460 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: the asr-001072 01:10:19.460 --> 01:10:22.180 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: employees, the assets, asr-001073 01:10:22.180 --> 01:10:23.940 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: and all the operations would be asr-001074 01:10:23.940 --> 01:10:26.080 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: absorbed by the government asr-001075 01:10:26.080 --> 01:10:27.940 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: agency, like a relevant government asr-001076 01:10:27.940 --> 01:10:29.980 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: agency, with related asr-001077 01:10:29.980 --> 01:10:32.340 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: operations to the GOCC for abolition. asr-001078 01:10:32.700 --> 01:10:33.080 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker. asr-001079 01:10:33.620 --> 01:10:35.340 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Mr. Speaker, I agree with that. asr-001080 01:10:35.760 --> 01:10:37.740 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: But again, I'm just going to stick asr-001081 01:10:37.740 --> 01:10:39.520 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: the number five, that you're private. asr-001082 01:10:40.040 --> 01:10:42.040 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Papasok ba? Bibiling ba nila? asr-001083 01:10:42.500 --> 01:10:43.600 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Mamimigay ba natin? asr-001084 01:10:44.260 --> 01:10:45.960 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Remember you mentioned number five. asr-001085 01:10:46.080 --> 01:10:47.260 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So I'm just curious asr-001086 01:10:47.260 --> 01:10:49.360 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: about the number five. When you say asr-001087 01:10:49.360 --> 01:10:50.640 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: private firm asr-001088 01:10:50.640 --> 01:10:53.640 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: is carrying it out asr-001089 01:10:53.640 --> 01:10:55.420 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: or taking over, ano ba? asr-001090 01:10:55.580 --> 01:10:57.180 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kasi doon lang medyo asr-001091 01:10:57.180 --> 01:10:59.640 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: nalilito ako. Just enlighten me asr-001092 01:10:59.640 --> 01:11:01.100 Rep. Presley C.

De Jesus: when you mention five, asr-001095 01:11:05.120 --> 01:11:07.800 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: private, you mentioned private asr-001096 01:11:07.800 --> 01:11:08.120 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: firm. asr-001097 01:11:27.180 --> 01:11:29.700 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, asr-001098 01:11:30.200 --> 01:11:32.200 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: to further asr-001099 01:11:32.200 --> 01:11:34.420 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: enhance the details that were mentioned. asr-001100 01:11:34.740 --> 01:11:34.880 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, asr-001101 01:11:36.040 --> 01:11:37.660 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: if there is asr-001102 01:11:37.660 --> 01:11:39.860 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: an observation on the part of the asr-001103 01:11:39.860 --> 01:11:41.680 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: GCG that a GOCC asr-001104 01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:43.660 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: is non-operating asr-001105 01:11:44.200 --> 01:11:45.400 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: or asr-001106 01:11:45.400 --> 01:11:47.800 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: is failing to asr-001107 01:11:47.800 --> 01:11:49.660 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: meet objectives, then asr-001108 01:11:49.660 --> 01:11:51.660 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: it assesses asr-001109 01:11:51.660 --> 01:11:53.180 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: and then it evaluates whether asr-001110 01:11:53.180 --> 01:11:55.460 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: it should recommend for abolition, asr-001111 01:11:56.340 --> 01:11:57.160 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: recommend for merger, asr-001112 01:11:57.180 --> 01:11:59.220 Rep.

De Jesus: lilipat na ba sila? asr-001172 01:15:54.290 --> 01:16:02.800 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, for those employees who will not be absorbed asr-001173 01:16:02.800 --> 01:16:03.280 Rep. Bella Vanessa B.

Suansing: they're given separation incentive pay, asr-001176 01:16:08.520 --> 01:16:10.480 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: and then those who are needed asr-001177 01:16:10.480 --> 01:16:11.440 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: for the safekeeping asr-001178 01:16:11.440 --> 01:16:14.220 Rep. Bella Vanessa B.

De Jesus: Fair enough, Mr. Speaker. asr-001182 01:16:23.300 --> 01:16:23.580 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, asr-001183 01:16:24.940 --> 01:16:26.000 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: those 21 cases asr-001184 01:16:26.540 --> 01:16:27.900 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: for disposal asr-001185 01:16:27.900 --> 01:16:29.980 Rep. Presley C.

De Jesus: for another agency? asr-001188 01:16:35.960 --> 01:16:37.400 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Settlement of liabilities, asr-001189 01:16:37.760 --> 01:16:38.300 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: litigation, asr-001190 01:16:38.620 --> 01:16:40.780 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: I know there's legal processes, no? asr-001191 01:16:41.260 --> 01:16:44.260 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Alam naman natin may mga legal impediments to. asr-001192 01:16:44.880 --> 01:16:47.100 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, do we expect that 21 asr-001193 01:16:47.100 --> 01:16:50.480 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: under abolition asr-001194 01:16:50.480 --> 01:16:52.000 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: will be done asr-001195 01:16:52.000 --> 01:16:53.660 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: this year asr-001196 01:16:53.660 --> 01:16:55.580 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: or it will take another year? asr-001197 01:17:00.000 --> 01:17:16.060 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, asr-001198 01:17:16.300 --> 01:17:17.860 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: for 2026, asr-001199 01:17:18.300 --> 01:17:20.140 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: those that are pipelined for terminal report asr-001200 01:17:20.140 --> 01:17:21.440 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: would be 5. asr-001201 01:17:21.700 --> 01:17:22.600 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, that would remain, asr-001202 01:17:22.780 --> 01:17:23.780 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: the 16 remaining. asr-001203 01:17:24.320 --> 01:17:25.960 Rep.

Suansing: asset management office asr-001210 01:17:35.900 --> 01:17:37.700 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: to further expedite asr-001211 01:17:37.700 --> 01:17:39.340 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: the abolition of these asr-001212 01:17:39.340 --> 01:17:41.800 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: 16 remaining GOCCs. asr-001213 01:17:42.060 --> 01:17:42.440 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker. asr-001214 01:17:42.740 --> 01:17:43.900 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, it's going to handle asr-001215 01:17:43.900 --> 01:17:46.080 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: by the asset management office? asr-001216 01:17:46.220 --> 01:17:46.960 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Yes, Mr. Speaker. asr-001217 01:17:47.260 --> 01:17:48.320 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Okay, fair enough. asr-001218 01:17:48.900 --> 01:17:50.000 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: In connection with that, asr-001219 01:17:50.540 --> 01:17:51.660 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: I would like to ask GCG asr-001220 01:17:52.220 --> 01:17:53.880 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: what precisely makes asr-001221 01:17:53.880 --> 01:17:55.280 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: a GOCC asr-001222 01:17:55.280 --> 01:17:57.660 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: sufficiently non-performing asr-001223 01:17:57.660 --> 01:17:59.080 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: to warrant asr-001224 01:17:59.080 --> 01:17:59.660 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: the abolition asr-001225 01:17:59.660 --> 01:18:00.560 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: of that action asr-001226 01:18:00.560 --> 01:18:02.160 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: to classify them asr-001227 01:18:02.160 --> 01:18:03.100 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: for winding up? asr-001228 01:18:03.840 --> 01:18:05.600 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Is there an objective threshold? asr-001229 01:18:06.360 --> 01:18:07.640 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Is there a criteria? asr-001230 01:18:07.640 --> 01:18:07.820 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Yeah. asr-001243 01:19:11.540 --> 01:19:23.940 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, the GCG uses the Corporate Governance Scorecard and the Performance Evaluation Scorecard. asr-001244 01:19:23.940 --> 01:19:35.000 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, consistent failure in these key performance indicators would constitute a review by the GCG with regards to the abolition, Mr. Speaker. asr-001245 01:19:35.360 --> 01:19:40.320 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: That was a good answer. That's why my next question is about the scorecard. asr-001246 01:19:41.820 --> 01:19:45.200 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you for that information, Mr. Speaker, the single sponsor. asr-001247 01:19:45.200 --> 01:19:52.860 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, if a GOCC consistently fails its target, what happens to the board? asr-001248 01:19:52.860 --> 01:19:54.700 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: I'm talking of the board of the GOCC. asr-001249 01:19:55.420 --> 01:20:06.060 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: In other words, is poor performance merely recorded on a scoreboard, or does the scoreboard actually produce governance consequences? asr-001254 01:20:37.980 --> 01:20:41.060 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: [unclear] asr-001255 01:20:42.350 --> 01:20:43.340 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: [unclear] asr-001258 01:21:04.650 --> 01:21:06.240 Rep. Bella Vanessa B.

Suansing: scorecard, if it's the GOCC, asr-001263 01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:16.800 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: then asr-001264 01:21:16.800 --> 01:21:18.980 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: if the GOCC continually asr-001265 01:21:18.980 --> 01:21:21.400 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: underperforms, asr-001266 01:21:21.400 --> 01:21:23.540 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: then the GCG can asr-001267 01:21:23.540 --> 01:21:24.960 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: review and evaluate asr-001268 01:21:24.960 --> 01:21:26.460 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: it for abolition. asr-001269 01:21:27.260 --> 01:21:29.040 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: With regards to the asr-001270 01:21:29.040 --> 01:21:31.420 Rep. Bella Vanessa B.

Suansing: evaluation for directors, asr-001273 01:21:35.440 --> 01:21:35.740 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: if asr-001274 01:21:35.740 --> 01:21:39.720 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: an appointed director asr-001275 01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:41.480 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: receives less asr-001276 01:21:41.480 --> 01:21:43.160 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: than 85% in the asr-001277 01:21:43.160 --> 01:21:44.520 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: performance scorecard, asr-001278 01:21:45.380 --> 01:21:47.620 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: it won't be qualified asr-001279 01:21:47.620 --> 01:21:49.560 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: to be included in the shortlist of nominees asr-001280 01:21:49.560 --> 01:21:51.260 Rep.

Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: And so the response to CPCS-1 asr-001461 01:27:44.980 --> 01:27:46.360 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: is CPCS-2. asr-001462 01:27:47.680 --> 01:27:47.940 Rep.

Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Madam Sponsor, Mr. Speaker, asr-001472 01:28:08.200 --> 01:28:09.520 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: hindi niya niresolba yung problema asr-001473 01:28:09.520 --> 01:28:11.440 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ng CPCS-1. asr-001474 01:28:12.480 --> 01:28:13.660 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Bakit hindi niya niresolba? asr-001475 01:28:14.260 --> 01:28:15.740 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kasi, Madam Sponsor, asr-001476 01:28:15.740 --> 01:28:16.980 Rep.

Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: pivotal new feature. asr-001483 01:28:31.060 --> 01:28:32.080 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: It converts asr-001484 01:28:32.080 --> 01:28:33.980 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: previously authorized asr-001485 01:28:33.980 --> 01:28:34.940 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: allowances, asr-001486 01:28:36.180 --> 01:28:37.900 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: benefits, and incentives, asr-001487 01:28:38.080 --> 01:28:38.560 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ABIs, asr-001488 01:28:39.760 --> 01:28:42.020 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: into a one-time three-year present value asr-001489 01:28:42.020 --> 01:28:42.880 Rep.

Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: nakukuha nila yung ABIs, asr-001494 01:28:51.160 --> 01:28:53.440 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: yung mga manggagawa sa GOCCs and GFIs, asr-001495 01:28:54.200 --> 01:28:55.540 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ang nangyari ay asr-001496 01:28:55.540 --> 01:28:57.200 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: one-time asr-001497 01:28:57.200 --> 01:28:59.820 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: cash payout, after which asr-001498 01:28:59.820 --> 01:29:01.840 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: they are discontinued. asr-001499 01:29:02.320 --> 01:29:03.320 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Tama po ba itong asr-001500 01:29:03.320 --> 01:29:05.540 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: pagkakalahad ng mga facts nito, asr-001501 01:29:06.100 --> 01:29:07.400 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Madam Sponsor, Mr. Speaker? asr-001503 01:29:49.760 --> 01:29:51.080 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Maandar po yung time ko, asr-001504 01:29:51.400 --> 01:29:51.920 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Speaker. asr-001507 01:31:07.630 --> 01:31:08.860 Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Session is suspended. asr-001512 01:34:08.260 --> 01:34:09.430 Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Session is resumed. asr-001513 01:34:11.540 --> 01:34:30.000 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, as for the GCG, this is a mere transitory provision. From CPCS 1, the three-year present value of the discontinued allowances, benefits, and incentives asr-001514 01:34:30.000 --> 01:35:04.100 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: were paid over three tranches for three years during this transitory period. But at the same time, tumaas din po, as per the GCG, yung monthly basic compensation. Besides the tranches na payout, tumaas din yung monthly basic compensation para maging mas at par sa private sector, Mr. Speaker. asr-001515 01:35:04.100 --> 01:35:30.000 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Thank you, Madam Sponsor. In fact, merong mga tumaas pagdating sa allowances, benefits, and incentives; merong mga nabigyan kasi before wala yung iba. In-standardize sa CPCS 1, CPCS 2, pero ang daming problematic provisions at may pushback yung workers in GFIs. asr-001516 01:35:30.000 --> 01:35:59.980 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: In fact, Madam Sponsor, bago pa man nagkaroon ng batas na bumuo sa GCG at bago CPCS 1 and CPCS 2, may mga manggagawa sa GFIs na nag-e-enjoy na ng iba?t ibang allowances, benefits, and incentives. asr-001517 01:36:00.000 --> 01:36:29.980 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: For example, Pag-IBIG educational assistance and provident fund traced to board resolutions from 1986 and 1994. PDIC has 2011 payroll records, the year RA 10149 was passed, showing 14th-month pay and provident fund contributions. SSS PRAISE program disbursing asr-001518 01:36:30.000 --> 01:36:59.980 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: 434.805 million in incentives in 2024 was reviewed and approved by the Civil Service Commission in June 2024. Dahil sa CPCS 1 and CPCS 2, may mga benepisyong nawala o nabawasan sa mga manggagawa sa GFIs. asr-001519 01:37:00.000 --> 01:37:29.980 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Sa provident fund, some were enjoying 40% employer share, pero dahil sa CPCS 1 and CPCS 2, 10% na lang. Iyan ang malaking problema. Madam Sponsor, let us establish a basic principle of law. asr-001520 01:37:30.000 --> 01:37:59.980 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ang Republic Act 10149, GOCC Governance Act, ay pinasa noong 2011, a general law for standardization of GOCCs. Fast forward to 2019, ipinasa ng Kongreso ang RA 11199, Social Security Act of 2018, isang specific law. asr-001521 01:38:00.000 --> 01:38:29.980 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Section 3(d) gave the Social Security Commission power to fix reasonable compensation, allowances, and benefits of its personnel. Ngayon ginagamit ng GCG yung CPCS 2 na inilabas noong 2025 asr-001522 01:38:30.000 --> 01:38:59.980 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: para i-override at tanggalin ang mga benepisyong ito. In constant communication ako sa union ng SSS. So alin ang mas mataas, Madam Sponsor, isang batas na pinasa ng Kongreso o isang executive order asr-001523 01:39:00.000 --> 01:39:01.970 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: na nanggaling sa Office of the President, Madam Sponsor, Mr. Speaker? asr-001526 01:39:03.790 --> 01:39:06.810 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: [unclear] asr-001527 01:39:30.000 --> 01:39:33.360 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Speaker, yung time ko po pumapatak. asr-001528 01:39:39.560 --> 01:39:40.660 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Pumapatak po yung time ko. asr-001529 01:39:41.500 --> 01:39:42.300 Deputy Speaker Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D.: Timer, please. asr-001531 01:40:57.780 --> 01:40:58.160 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: [unclear] asr-001532 01:41:02.760 --> 01:41:29.610 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: [unclear] asr-001533 01:41:30.510 --> 01:41:36.420 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, Section 11 of RA 10149, if I may read, asr-001534 01:41:37.060 --> 01:41:41.400 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: the Compensation and Position Classification System, so CPCS, asr-001535 01:41:42.860 --> 01:41:46.080 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: to be developed and recommended by the GCG as approved by the President asr-001536 01:41:46.080 --> 01:41:49.780 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: shall apply to all positions on full or part-time basis now existing asr-001537 01:41:49.780 --> 01:41:52.040 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: or hereafter created in the GOCC, asr-001538 01:41:52.600 --> 01:41:57.480 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: provided that in no case shall there be any diminution in the authorized salaries asr-001539 01:41:57.480 --> 01:41:59.340 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: as of December 31, 2010. asr-001540 01:42:00.000 --> 01:42:07.400 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Of incumbent employees of the GOCCs, including those exempt under RA 6758 as amended asr-001541 01:42:07.400 --> 01:42:10.980 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: upon the implementation of the CPCS for GOCCs. asr-001542 01:42:10.980 --> 01:42:14.520 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, dapat ang nagpe-prevail po talaga ay ano? asr-001543 01:42:15.260 --> 01:42:16.820 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: 10149, Mr. Speaker. asr-001544 01:42:17.380 --> 01:42:19.600 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ay, dapat ang nagpe-prevail ay yung? asr-001545 01:42:20.200 --> 01:42:21.760 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: 10149, Mr. Speaker. asr-001546 01:42:21.780 --> 01:42:29.900 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, in statutory construction, the specific and later law prevails over a general and earlier law. asr-001547 01:42:30.000 --> 01:42:39.120 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, given that RA 11199, 2019, is both the later law and the specific charter for SSS, asr-001548 01:42:39.840 --> 01:42:45.940 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: hindi po dapat ito ang mas masunod kaysa sa general framework ng RA 10149? asr-001549 01:42:51.520 --> 01:42:55.920 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Actually, ang basis yung executive order eh. asr-001550 01:42:56.840 --> 01:42:58.620 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, ano pong authority? asr-001551 01:43:00.000 --> 01:43:06.060 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ang ginagamit ng GCG to use an executive order asr-001552 01:43:06.060 --> 01:43:13.660 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: to execute an implied administrative repeal of a specific act of Congress. asr-001553 01:43:15.080 --> 01:43:19.980 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ibig sabihin po ba nito, mas mataas na ang GCG kaysa sa Kongreso? asr-001554 01:43:21.720 --> 01:43:23.140 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kasi yun po ang efekte. asr-001555 01:43:36.680 --> 01:43:48.560 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, there was no express repeal of this section under the Social Security Law. So this would still prevail. asr-001556 01:43:48.560 --> 01:43:58.780 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, tinitindigan po ng GCG na through the executive order, eh pinangingibabawan niya. asr-001557 01:43:58.880 --> 01:43:59.320 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Halimbawa, yun dito sa... asr-001558 01:44:00.000 --> 01:44:06.040 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Sabi dun sa case ng SSS, na batas na ginawa, asr-001559 01:44:07.380 --> 01:44:15.840 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: binigyan ng kapangyarihan ang SSS na i-determine yung compensation for the workers, for its workers. asr-001560 01:44:16.500 --> 01:44:21.320 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: And now, GCG is saying, hindi, mas mataas itong RA 10149. asr-001561 01:44:22.240 --> 01:44:27.240 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, paano ngayon natin i-reconcile yun, Mr. Speaker, Madam Sponsor? asr-001562 01:44:30.000 --> 01:44:31.780 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Oh, yeah. asr-001563 01:44:33.020 --> 01:44:36.300 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Given that there is no, but as for the GCG, asr-001564 01:44:36.420 --> 01:44:44.640 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: given that there is no express repeal of RA 10149 under the Social Security Law, asr-001565 01:44:44.760 --> 01:44:45.780 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: it would still prevail. asr-001566 01:44:45.960 --> 01:44:51.700 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Though, again, the GCG would submit to the wisdom of Congress if we need to amend. asr-001567 01:44:52.240 --> 01:44:58.500 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Because under Section 11, nakaprovide po dito yung, as approved by the President. asr-001568 01:44:59.340 --> 01:44:59.500 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So... asr-001569 01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:13.340 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, big sabihin, si GCG magre-rely ngayon sa sabihin ng Presidente, even though the law is very clear. asr-001570 01:45:14.260 --> 01:45:19.440 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Madam Sponsor, Mr. Speaker, yan po yung kinagagalitan ng mga manggagawa sa GFIs. asr-001571 01:45:20.600 --> 01:45:27.600 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: And I believe the GCG is open for further dialogue regarding this matter, Madam Sponsor. asr-001572 01:45:27.600 --> 01:45:29.520 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Because we really have to clarify this. asr-001573 01:45:30.580 --> 01:45:47.580 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Now, Madam Sponsor, ilapag po natin ang mga katotohanan dahil hindi pwedeng ginagamit ng GCG ang salitang standardization bilang lisensya para agawin. asr-001574 01:45:47.580 --> 01:45:52.860 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Actually, pag-agaw yun eh. Yun yung principle of non-diminution of benefits. Ibinigay na. asr-001575 01:45:53.780 --> 01:45:57.580 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ang mga karapatang dekada ng pinakikinabangan ng mga manggagawa. asr-001576 01:45:58.180 --> 01:45:59.880 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, ito po yung binabanggit ko kanina. asr-001577 01:46:00.580 --> 01:46:07.740 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Records clearly show that Pag-ibig has provided an educational assistance benefit since 1986 asr-001578 01:46:07.740 --> 01:46:20.000 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: and a provident fund with a 45% employer counterpart that was explicitly approved by the President back in 1994. asr-001579 01:46:21.000 --> 01:46:25.800 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Sa PDIC naman, malinaw sa 2011 payrolls nila, asr-001580 01:46:25.800 --> 01:46:37.100 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: the exact same year, RA 10149 was passed, na tumatanggap na ang mga empleyado nila ng 14th month pay and medical allowances. asr-001581 01:46:38.500 --> 01:46:47.620 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, because of the existence, itong pinag-uusapan natin na CPCS 1 and CPCS 2, yan po yung mga nawala. asr-001582 01:46:47.720 --> 01:46:50.520 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ang daming nawala eh sa mga manggagawa sa GFIs. asr-001583 01:46:50.520 --> 01:46:54.520 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: And in fact, if you are going to ask workers in the GFIs, asr-001584 01:46:55.800 --> 01:47:00.340 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: isa lang sinasabi nila, ayaw namin itong CPCS 1 and CPCS 2. asr-001585 01:47:01.080 --> 01:47:07.360 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, Madam Sponsor, these provident funds were legally established decades before. asr-001586 01:47:07.500 --> 01:47:10.300 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, wala pa ng GCG, meron ng provident fund. asr-001587 01:47:11.200 --> 01:47:14.680 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: At meron ng arrangement, 45% nga in an example eh. asr-001588 01:47:15.540 --> 01:47:19.300 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, complete with presidential and statutory backing. asr-001589 01:47:19.300 --> 01:47:25.260 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, bakit pilit pinapatay ng GCG ang ipo ng mga manggagawa? asr-001590 01:47:25.800 --> 01:47:38.440 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ang ibig sabihin po ba ng standardization for GCG ay katumbas ng diminution? asr-001591 01:47:38.900 --> 01:47:41.500 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Definitely, alam ko po, sasabihin ng GCG, hindi. asr-001592 01:47:42.100 --> 01:47:43.160 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: But that is the effect. asr-001593 01:47:43.160 --> 01:47:44.160 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Thank you. asr-001595 01:48:25.800 --> 01:48:35.340 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, well, as for the GCG, well, yung, this would be compensated by the monthly, asr-001596 01:48:35.520 --> 01:48:37.120 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: like the higher monthly compensation. asr-001597 01:48:37.360 --> 01:48:46.380 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Yun. Medyo hindi po katanggap-tanggap yung sagot ng GCG that it will be compensated by higher or whatever. asr-001598 01:48:47.320 --> 01:48:52.660 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kasi nga, matagal na itong ini-enjoy ng mga manggagawa sa GFIs. asr-001599 01:48:53.240 --> 01:48:55.500 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: In the section 11 nga, asr-001600 01:48:55.800 --> 01:49:08.580 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, papaano ngayon yan, Madam Sponsor, Mr. Speaker? asr-001601 01:49:10.600 --> 01:49:17.560 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kasi mukhang tinitindigan pa rin ng GCG na okay lang na ang daming nawalang mga abis, asr-001602 01:49:18.140 --> 01:49:21.380 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ang daming mga nawalang mga ini-enjoy na ng mga manggagawa sa GFIs. asr-001603 01:49:21.380 --> 01:49:25.780 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: In fact, they are actually listening sa conversation po. asr-001604 01:49:25.800 --> 01:49:27.840 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, natin nga yun, Madam Sponsor, Mr. Speaker. asr-001605 01:49:28.540 --> 01:49:37.020 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, can the GCG commit today that they will respect the vested rights of these employees asr-001606 01:49:37.020 --> 01:49:45.160 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: and immediately approve the reinstatement requests for these provident funds pending the resolution? asr-001607 01:49:45.420 --> 01:49:54.860 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kung meron mang mga legal battles, makukuha rin ba namin ang commitment ng GCG na makipagpulong po sa mga manggagawa ng GFIs? asr-001608 01:49:55.800 --> 01:50:01.900 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kasi sila po ang ultimate beneficiary and casualty of what we are talking about right now. asr-001609 01:50:02.640 --> 01:50:05.840 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, ang gusto po ng mga manggagawa sa GFIs ay kalinawan. asr-001610 01:50:06.780 --> 01:50:11.180 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, will we get that commitment from GCG, Madam Sponsor? asr-001611 01:50:12.100 --> 01:50:13.460 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Mr. Speaker. asr-001612 01:50:14.340 --> 01:50:18.220 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: The GCG is, well, upon the assurance of our good chairperson, asr-001613 01:50:18.640 --> 01:50:24.080 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: is willing also to present the data that they've run assessments, asr-001614 01:50:24.540 --> 01:50:25.580 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: they've arrived at... asr-001615 01:50:25.800 --> 01:50:31.780 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: different numbers that give justification to their stance. asr-001616 01:50:31.960 --> 01:50:36.520 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: But, of course, with the help, of course, of my distinguished colleague, asr-001617 01:50:36.800 --> 01:50:39.540 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Honorable San Fernando, personally this representation, asr-001618 01:50:39.980 --> 01:50:44.820 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: let's facilitate the dialogue between the GCG and our members from the Labor Center. asr-001619 01:50:44.820 --> 01:50:50.480 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Thank you very much to my good friend, the sponsor, Congresswoman Bella Swan Singh. asr-001620 01:50:51.260 --> 01:50:54.080 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kasi gusto natin at the end of the day, ma-resolve ba itong problema ito? asr-001621 01:50:54.080 --> 01:50:56.880 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kasi the last thing that we would like to happen, asr-001622 01:50:57.700 --> 01:51:01.520 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: pag itong lahat ng GFIs, pitong GFIs, asr-001623 01:51:02.300 --> 01:51:05.540 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: yung mga manggagawa nito ay hindi nakapagtimpe, asr-001624 01:51:06.500 --> 01:51:07.540 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: lalabas tong mga to. asr-001625 01:51:08.820 --> 01:51:11.560 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: That is, yun yung gusto natin, hanggat maaari, asr-001626 01:51:11.680 --> 01:51:16.840 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ayaw natin tumuntong sa isang sitwasyon na hindi natin makukontrol asr-001627 01:51:16.840 --> 01:51:23.360 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: dahil very personal at malalim ang hugot ng mga manggagawa sa GFIs asr-001628 01:51:24.080 --> 01:51:28.160 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: dito sa mga nawalang allowances, benefits, and incentives. asr-001629 01:51:29.100 --> 01:51:34.420 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: And for so long, hindi nila nakukuha yung sagot from GCG. asr-001630 01:51:34.560 --> 01:51:41.060 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: And it is a welcome development that the sponsor is assuring this representation asr-001631 01:51:41.060 --> 01:51:46.160 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: that through the chairperson of GCG ay magkakaroon tayo ng pag-uusap. asr-001632 01:51:46.160 --> 01:51:52.620 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Now, on to the third question, part of my question. asr-001633 01:51:54.080 --> 01:51:57.580 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Malinaw po na nakasaad sa saligang batas natin, asr-001634 01:51:57.680 --> 01:52:02.620 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: and in fact, this has been enshrined in labor laws and other relevant labor laws, asr-001635 01:52:03.260 --> 01:52:09.220 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: yung karapatan ng mga manggagawa na organisahin yung kanyang sarili asr-001636 01:52:09.220 --> 01:52:14.120 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: at makipag-negosasyon o makipagtawaran sa kanyang employer. asr-001637 01:52:14.940 --> 01:52:20.440 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kung sa pampublikong sektor, collective negotiation ang tawag. asr-001638 01:52:20.440 --> 01:52:22.420 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So sa pribadong sektor, collective bargaining. asr-001639 01:52:24.080 --> 01:52:30.140 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: In fact, sa Article 13, Section 3, at maging sa Executive Order No. 180, asr-001640 01:52:31.200 --> 01:52:34.440 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: garantisado ang karapatan ng lahat ng manggagawa, asr-001641 01:52:35.080 --> 01:52:38.800 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: kasama ang mga manggagawa sa pampublikong sektor, asr-001642 01:52:39.660 --> 01:52:43.640 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: pagdating sa usapin ng self-organization and collective negotiation. asr-001643 01:52:43.640 --> 01:52:46.640 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Pero ito po yung malaking katanungan. asr-001644 01:52:47.760 --> 01:52:49.980 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: In CPCS 1 and CPCS 2, asr-001645 01:52:51.060 --> 01:52:53.580 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: eh, pinoprohibit. asr-001646 01:52:54.080 --> 01:53:02.980 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Yung mga GOCC boards na magkaroon ng collective negotiation with its workers. asr-001647 01:53:03.580 --> 01:53:08.200 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So there is an absolute blanket prohibition. asr-001648 01:53:09.340 --> 01:53:13.500 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So papaano po, so does the Commission honestly believe that asr-001649 01:53:13.500 --> 01:53:19.300 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: this absolute blanket prohibition on negotiating every single economic, asr-001650 01:53:20.060 --> 01:53:23.700 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: so yung economic provisions po ang pinatutungkulan Madam Sponsor, asr-001651 01:53:24.460 --> 01:53:27.680 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: so negotiating every single economic term, asr-001652 01:53:28.500 --> 01:53:33.200 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: is consistent with the constitutional guarantee of self-organization? asr-001659 01:54:31.380 --> 01:54:49.060 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Mr. Speaker, as for the GCG, there is recognition of their right to self-organization. However, in terms of bargaining for economic terms, apparently there are already a long list of Supreme Court rulings that... asr-001660 01:54:49.060 --> 01:54:51.860 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: What is that specific Supreme Court ruling? asr-001661 01:54:54.080 --> 01:55:13.480 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: I'd like to reiterate. Constitutional guarantee, yung collective negotiation. So ano po yung sa Supreme Court ruling? asr-001662 01:55:24.080 --> 01:55:37.020 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: If I'm allowed to enumerate, this is for your GSIS Family Bank Employees Union v. Villanueva, JR number 210773. asr-001663 01:55:37.760 --> 01:55:39.940 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: 210, JR number 210. asr-001664 01:55:39.940 --> 01:55:53.800 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: 210773, a rule that may not negotiate with their officers and employees the economic terms of their collective bargaining agreements. asr-001665 01:55:54.080 --> 01:56:03.030 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: And then for another Supreme Court ruling, PNCC versus NLRC, G.R. number 24... asr-001665-split-2 01:56:03.030 --> 01:56:06.370 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Anong kaso po ?yan, Madam Sponsor? asr-001665-split-3 01:56:06.370 --> 01:56:07.380 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: PNCC. asr-001665-split-4 01:56:07.380 --> 01:56:08.360 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Okay, okay. asr-001665-split-5 01:56:08.360 --> 01:56:21.040 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yeah, PNCC versus NLRC, G.R. number 248401, said that with the subsequent enactment of RA 10149, asr-001666 01:56:21.040 --> 01:56:23.800 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: PNCC may no longer grant this benefit. asr-001667 01:56:24.080 --> 01:56:27.500 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Without persecuring the requisite authority of the President. asr-001668 01:56:28.500 --> 01:56:31.560 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Without the authority of the President. asr-001669 01:56:31.760 --> 01:56:31.980 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes. asr-001670 01:56:32.500 --> 01:56:39.220 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Hayaan niyo po, Madam Sponsor, na reviewin din ang kinatawang ito, yung binanggit niyo po na jurisprudence on this matter. asr-001671 01:56:39.760 --> 01:56:42.180 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kaya po maganda nga na magkakaroon tayo ng dialogo. asr-001672 01:56:42.180 --> 01:56:48.100 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So as to reconcile our reading on this particular case. asr-001673 01:56:48.800 --> 01:56:53.760 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kasi napakalinaw na tila baga nadidefeat na. asr-001674 01:56:54.080 --> 01:57:04.020 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ang constitutional guarantee pagdating sa collective negotiation, medyo mabigat po yun. asr-001675 01:57:04.760 --> 01:57:14.000 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Nadagok sa mga union ng mga manggagawa dahil the reason of existence po ng mga union ng mga manggagawa, asr-001676 01:57:14.000 --> 01:57:23.460 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: may it be in private or public sector, ay para may abante yung mga panawagan tungkol sa pagdadagdag ng sahod, asr-001677 01:57:23.580 --> 01:57:24.000 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: mga benepisyon. asr-001678 01:57:24.080 --> 01:57:26.080 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Yun nga po, yung abis na tinatawag. asr-001679 01:57:27.260 --> 01:57:35.780 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So marami pong katanungan pa na gustong himayin ang kinatawang ito, pero dahil limitado po ang oras natin, asr-001680 01:57:36.480 --> 01:57:42.080 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: will we get that commitment again from the distinguished sponsor and the GCG through its chairperson, asr-001681 01:57:43.700 --> 01:57:53.820 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: for us to sit down together and have an honest to goodness talk and dialogue about this matter and questions of workers in the GFIs? asr-001682 01:57:54.080 --> 01:57:54.740 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Madam Sponsor? asr-001683 01:57:56.740 --> 01:58:09.960 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, we reaffirm the commitment and I was also informed by our good chairperson that this coming Friday, next Friday, asr-001684 01:58:10.460 --> 01:58:17.120 Rep. Bella Vanessa B.

Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So thank you, Madam Sponsor, to my good friend and asahan ko po yung pagtutulungan natin on this matter. asr-001688 01:58:40.100 --> 01:58:53.140 Rep.

Based on the projects, Minda has identified reliable and affordable electricity necessary for their success and sustainability. asr-001723 02:04:36.720 --> 02:04:38.340 Rep. Nicanor M.

Based on the projects, MinDA has identified reliable and affordable electricity necessary for their success and sustainability. In short, naka-rely po kayo sa success ng the Mindanao project, yung affordable electricity for their success and sustainability. Yes or no? asr-001725 02:05:04.540 --> 02:05:07.380 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Yes, distinguished colleague. asr-001726 02:05:07.380 --> 02:05:21.460 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Does Minda recognize electricity as a foundational requirement for Mindanao's industrial, agricultural, commercial, educational, health, and social development? asr-001727 02:05:21.540 --> 02:05:24.960 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Yes, distinguished colleague. asr-001728 02:05:25.620 --> 02:05:33.280 Rep. Presley C.

De Jesus: So, are you familiar with the Agus-Pulangi hydropower complex? asr-001733 02:05:59.940 --> 02:06:02.300 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Yes, distinguished colleague. asr-001734 02:06:03.300 --> 02:06:10.420 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Alam niyo po, ang Agus-Pulangi, yan po yung matagal na pong pinagkukunan, source of energy sa Mindanao. asr-001735 02:06:10.840 --> 02:06:15.940 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: That's why Congressman Sergio Dagooc, passionate siya pagdating po rito. asr-001736 02:06:15.940 --> 02:06:21.520 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, ang tanong ko po, because as we know, marami. asr-001737 02:06:21.540 --> 02:06:25.680 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Marami po nag-aahangad sa Agus-Pulangi na ma-privatize. asr-001738 02:06:26.660 --> 02:06:41.440 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, do the Mindanao officers ng Mindanao Development Authority, are you in favor of, on record, are you in favor of privatizing Agus-Pulangi? asr-001739 02:06:46.440 --> 02:06:49.380 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague. asr-001740 02:06:51.540 --> 02:06:58.600 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: What the Mindanao Development Authority wants is rehabilitation, not privatization. asr-001741 02:06:59.240 --> 02:07:05.100 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, in short, you're in favor or you're not in favor of privatizing Agus-Pulangi? asr-001742 02:07:05.220 --> 02:07:07.640 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: No, no. Mindanao is not in favor. asr-001743 02:07:07.840 --> 02:07:08.840 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, you're not in favor? asr-001744 02:07:09.680 --> 02:07:10.420 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Yes, Your Honor. asr-001745 02:07:10.420 --> 02:07:17.360 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Second, so, as we know, that Agus-Pulangi hydropower needs rehabilitation. asr-001746 02:07:19.780 --> 02:07:20.580 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Yeah, yes. asr-001747 02:07:21.540 --> 02:07:41.620 Rep. Nicanor M.

Presley C. De Jesus: So, in short, again, let me do some fun facts. asr-001749 02:07:47.440 --> 02:07:51.240 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor. asr-001750 02:07:51.540 --> 02:08:04.840 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: The National Power Corporation identifies the Agus-Pulangi complexes as having a combined installed capacity of 982 megawatts asr-001751 02:08:04.840 --> 02:08:10.180 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: and supplying more than 50% of Mindanao's electricity requirements. asr-001752 02:08:10.180 --> 02:08:14.100 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Alam po natin kung ano po ang kalagayan ng Agus-Pulangi. asr-001753 02:08:14.600 --> 02:08:18.960 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Dito po nanggagaling kalahati po ng supply sa Mindanao. asr-001754 02:08:19.120 --> 02:08:20.940 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kaya, pansinin niyo po. asr-001755 02:08:21.540 --> 02:08:23.840 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Bisayas, nagkakaroon ng yellow alert. asr-001756 02:08:24.820 --> 02:08:30.740 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Even na Luzon, pero ang Bisayas, ang Mindanao ay bihira po because of Agus-Pulangi. asr-001757 02:08:33.000 --> 02:08:47.520 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Does Mindanao Development Authority agree that preserving affordable and reliable access to this renewable energy resource is essential to Mindanao development? asr-001758 02:08:48.220 --> 02:08:49.300 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Do you recognize po yan? asr-001759 02:08:49.780 --> 02:08:51.520 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Definitely, Mr. Speaker. asr-001760 02:08:51.540 --> 02:08:53.540 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Distinguished colleague. asr-001761 02:08:55.160 --> 02:08:55.960 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Thank you. asr-001762 02:08:56.860 --> 02:09:07.960 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: If electricity is vital to Mindanao's development and Agus-Pulangi is a major government-owned source of electricity, asr-001763 02:09:08.840 --> 02:09:16.920 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: what precisely is Mindanao's position on private participation in its rehabilitation operation and management arrangement? asr-001764 02:09:16.920 --> 02:09:18.140 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ano ba yung arrangement nyo? asr-001765 02:09:18.260 --> 02:09:21.500 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kasi, ano po, rehabilitate na. asr-001766 02:09:21.540 --> 02:09:24.280 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ano po ang operation and management? asr-001767 02:09:24.620 --> 02:09:26.840 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ano po ang arrangement po natin dito? asr-001768 02:09:49.640 --> 02:09:50.960 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Mr. Speaker, asr-001769 02:09:51.540 --> 02:10:17.340 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Distinguished colleague, iba ang ahensya na mag-iimplement ng privatization. Yung PSALM ang siyang mag-iimplement ng privatization [unclear]. asr-001770 02:10:17.340 --> 02:10:27.340 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, Mr. Speaker, medyo gusto ko lang linawin ito. Are we going to privatize ang Agus-Pulangi o yung kanilang rehabilitation lang? asr-001771 02:10:27.900 --> 02:10:29.760 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: It's only for rehabilitation. asr-001772 02:10:30.020 --> 02:10:44.920 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Okay. So, malinaw po, Mr. Speaker, on record, the Agus-Pulangi will not be privatized but only yung rehabilitation ang ibibigay sa private. Tama ba ako doon? asr-001773 02:10:46.100 --> 02:10:46.980 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Tama po. asr-001774 02:10:47.340 --> 02:10:51.640 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Mr. Speaker, yun ang gagawin. asr-001775 02:10:51.820 --> 02:10:54.680 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Yun ang gagawin, Mr. Speaker. asr-001776 02:10:54.680 --> 02:10:57.560 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Okay. This is very important. asr-001777 02:10:58.380 --> 02:11:17.180 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Section 47F of EPIRA excluded Agus-Pulangi from the generation assets initially privatized, provided that the ownership will be transferred to PSALM and the hydropower complexes will continue to be operated asr-001780 02:11:17.340 --> 02:11:28.380 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: by NPC. It further states that privatization is left to PSALM's discretion in consultation with Congress. asr-001781 02:11:30.180 --> 02:11:30.920 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Do you agree with that? asr-001782 02:11:30.920 --> 02:11:32.780 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Yes, Mr. Speaker. asr-001783 02:11:33.340 --> 02:11:37.580 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: We have to kasi. Nasa EPIRA law too. Section 47F, no? asr-001784 02:11:38.240 --> 02:11:46.260 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Mr. Speaker, distinguished sponsor, meron po bang naganap na konsultasyon sa Kongreso? asr-001785 02:11:46.260 --> 02:11:47.260 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So, patuloy. asr-001786 02:11:47.340 --> 02:12:02.980 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Kung tungkol sa rehabilitation ng Agus-Pulangi, as far as I know, wala po akong alam na [unclear] hindi po ito kasama sa mandato ng Mindanao [unclear]. asr-001787 02:12:04.180 --> 02:12:17.060 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ang gusto ko lang po dito malaman ay kung ano po talaga ang position ng Minda sa pangangalagaan natin sa nag-iisa na lamang na government-owned. asr-001788 02:12:17.340 --> 02:12:27.820 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Ito na lang po ang natitira. Kasi lahat po ng generation naibenta na ng PSALM. Ito na lang po ang kaisa-isa, ang Agus-Pulangi sa Mindanao. asr-001789 02:12:28.580 --> 02:12:39.780 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: As the Development Authority in Mindanao, would you allow the vital and strategic energy asset na mapunta na lamang sa kamay ng private corporation? asr-001790 02:12:39.780 --> 02:12:46.780 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Again, you said you are not willing to turn it over or to sell it to private corporation. asr-001791 02:12:47.340 --> 02:12:48.180 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Am I right? asr-001792 02:12:49.380 --> 02:12:55.720 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, tama po yun. asr-001793 02:12:57.100 --> 02:12:59.160 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Yes, tama. Hindi natin ibebenta. asr-001794 02:12:59.560 --> 02:13:00.760 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Hindi pwedeng ibebenta. asr-001795 02:13:00.980 --> 02:13:06.960 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: That would be my five times na I asked you and you said yes, na hindi ibebenta. Thank you for that. asr-001796 02:13:07.600 --> 02:13:08.960 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Follow-up question, Mr. Speaker. asr-001797 02:13:10.100 --> 02:13:16.960 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: May ginawa po ba ang MinDA para makasiguro na ang mga tao sa Agus, sa Lanao, sa Bukidnon asr-001798 02:13:17.340 --> 02:13:26.300 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: sa Iligan o sa iba pang mga apektadong komunidad na kasama sila sa decision-making patungkol dito sa Agus-Pulangi? asr-001799 02:13:26.880 --> 02:13:32.180 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Sigurado po ako ay importante po itong issue na ito para sa ating mga local communities. asr-001800 02:13:32.780 --> 02:13:38.640 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Have you ever engaged the people from Lanao, Bukidno, even in Iligan? asr-001801 02:13:39.320 --> 02:13:44.080 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Pagdating po rito, nagkaroon ba ng public consultation? Even yung rehabilitation lang? asr-001802 02:13:47.340 --> 02:13:54.700 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Considering that Minda is a member of the Power Monitoring Committee, nagkaroon po ng consultation. asr-001803 02:13:55.660 --> 02:13:59.080 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: So there was consultation happen? asr-001804 02:13:59.960 --> 02:14:01.280 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Yes, Mr. Speaker. asr-001805 02:14:01.280 --> 02:14:02.660 Rep. Presley C.

Are they in favor of privatization of Agus-Pulangi? asr-001821 02:16:02.300 --> 02:16:10.960 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleague, ang gusto ng taong bayan ay rehabilitation. asr-001821-split-2 02:16:10.960 --> 02:16:12.120 Rep. Presley C.

At least natutuwa ako, lalo na si Kong Serge Dagooc na nanonood ngayon sa atin. asr-001824 02:16:32.500 --> 02:16:38.920 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Dahil nandun siya sa Mindanao ngayon. Umiiyak siguro habang pinanonood tayo na sa Agus-Pulangi yung tao. asr-001825 02:16:39.280 --> 02:16:43.200 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: He's a very dedicated person, being a lineman himself. asr-001826 02:16:43.200 --> 02:16:46.220 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: My next question. asr-001827 02:16:49.320 --> 02:16:58.080 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Given Mindanao Development Authority mandate to promote, coordinate, and facilitate Mindanao's socioeconomic development, asr-001828 02:16:58.840 --> 02:17:12.140 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: is the agency truly protecting the interests of Mindanao when it supports or tolerates an arrangement that may place a major government-owned source of electricity under private control? asr-001829 02:17:12.140 --> 02:17:18.100 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: I guess, nasagot mo naman na ito, so we don't have to answer that. At least a sign of relief. asr-001830 02:17:19.320 --> 02:17:34.540 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Did MinDA ever submit a written recommendation to the President, DOE, PSALM, NPC, even Congress, or any other responsible body concerning Agus-Pulangi? asr-001831 02:17:34.540 --> 02:17:42.280 Rep.

Presley C. De Jesus: Again, Mr. Speaker, before Congress approves its proposed fiscal year 2027 budget, Mindanao Development Authority should assure this August body that it is genuinely prioritizing the welfare of the people of Mindanao. asr-001836 02:18:19.320 --> 02:18:24.000 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: And is committed to the inclusive and sustainable development of the region. asr-001837 02:18:24.240 --> 02:18:43.880 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: That commitment must be demonstrated not only through plans, meetings, and policy statements, but through the protection of Mindanao's strategic public assets, particularly Agus-Pulangi. asr-001838 02:18:43.880 --> 02:18:48.880 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: These facilities are essential to Mindanao. asr-001839 02:18:49.320 --> 02:18:52.020 Rep. Presley C.

De Jesus: any arrangement that transfers effective control of Agus-Pulangi to private corporations without transparent justification, congressional consultation, strong consumer safeguards, and continuing public control. asr-001843 02:19:38.540 --> 02:19:48.380 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Mindanao should also assure this committee that it is not siding with private corporations for their own commercial or financial interests. asr-001850 02:19:49.320 --> 02:19:56.860 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: The recommendation must be based solely on its statutory mandate and the long-term welfare of the people of Mindanao. asr-001851 02:19:57.920 --> 02:20:07.240 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Minda should have a clear commitment to remain independent, transparent, accountable, and firmly aligned with the people of Mindanao. asr-001852 02:20:07.240 --> 02:20:21.380 Rep. Presley C. De Jesus: Before I end my interpellation, Mr. Speaker, Congressman Dagooc and I strongly oppose the privatization of Agus-Pulangi. asr-001853 02:20:21.840 --> 02:20:28.920 Rep. Presley C.

Briones: But from time to time, we regularly review and streamline the process. The process generally involves filing, technical and legal evaluation, clarification hearing when necessary, deliberation and decision by the Board, posting, publication, and awarding and payment. For structural claims there must first be technical assessment, asr-002142 02:38:18.780 --> 02:38:48.760 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: which may involve validation and ocular inspection.

Co: Alam naman po natin na dahil po sa siege, marami pong mga daanan ang nasira at kung ano pong kailangang repairs na kailangang gawin. asr-002183 02:44:23.680 --> 02:44:26.360 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Is the MCB aware na may line item? asr-002184 02:44:27.260 --> 02:44:31.220 Rep. Renee Louise M.

Co: To ensure that these amounts are funded. asr-002190 02:45:00.000 --> 02:45:21.360 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: under the GAA. Sayang naman po kung may ganito ngang MOA o kung hindi man po for implementation ngayon ay magkakaroon po ang NHA ng role for compensation of these transferred cases pero hindi naman po mababadyetan. Madam Speaker, good sponsor, let that show on the record. asr-002191 02:45:21.360 --> 02:45:45.440 Rep. Renee Louise M.

Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, does the MCV have a list of schools that were affected by the siege? asr-002193 02:45:51.360 --> 02:45:59.900 Rep. Renee Louise M.

Co: Madam Speaker, Distinguished Sponsor, isang dekada na halos pagkatapos ng 2017 siege, full restitution remains an unfulfilled promise for thousands of Maranaos. asr-002208 02:48:19.480 --> 02:48:26.600 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: While the Marawi Compensation Board was authorized under RA 11696 to compensate victims, asr-002209 02:48:26.600 --> 02:48:35.580 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: meron nga po tayong natanggap na report na 3,100 housing-related claims are being offloaded to NHA. asr-002210 02:48:36.200 --> 02:48:44.780 Rep. Renee Louise M.

Renee Louise M. Co: Ang tatanong ko na lang po, ano po bang measures in place ang nariyan po ngayon sa Marawi Compensation Board to prevent, asr-002214 02:49:21.360 --> 02:49:29.420 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: files from getting lost in bureaucratic transitions? Meron po tayong paglilipat ng records na ibibigay sa NHA. asr-002215 02:49:29.960 --> 02:49:40.980 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Paano natin may ensure na yung listahan na po ito, kumpleto, ito po ay na-check na, kumbaga, at hindi po mawawala? asr-002216 02:50:09.150 --> 02:50:21.340 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Madam Speaker, mayroon pong signed terms of reference ang MCB at saka ang NHA asr-002217 02:50:21.360 --> 02:50:32.240 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: para sigurado na maayos yung transition of files ng MCB to NHA. asr-002218 02:50:33.200 --> 02:50:42.300 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So nagbibigay po ng paninigurado at commitment ang MCV na ang transition ng mga documents ay magiging maayos, asr-002219 02:50:42.840 --> 02:50:49.580 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: hindi po sana mawawala yung mga listahan at kung may validation na kailangan gawin ay gagawin po, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor. asr-002220 02:50:49.580 --> 02:50:50.860 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Tama po ba yun? asr-002221 02:50:51.360 --> 02:50:53.160 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Yes, Your Honor, Madam Speaker. asr-002222 02:50:54.160 --> 02:51:09.480 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, ang huli na lang nating tanong ay nakita naman natin na nakakaantig ng puso na a small fraction of the targeted permanent housing units asr-002223 02:51:09.480 --> 02:51:13.260 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang natuturn over pa lamang sa displaced residents. asr-002224 02:51:14.900 --> 02:51:21.300 Rep. Renee Louise M.

Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor. asr-002226 02:51:31.980 --> 02:51:37.200 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Actually, wala na sa MCV yun. asr-002227 02:51:37.200 --> 02:51:50.200 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: NHA na ang mag-continue ng lahat ng dapat ayusin para tuloy-tuloy na mabigyan ng mga... asr-002228 02:51:51.360 --> 02:51:54.060 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: na claimants ng competition. asr-002229 02:51:54.980 --> 02:51:58.560 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Pero tama po ba, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, wala pa sa NHA sa ngayon. asr-002230 02:51:58.560 --> 02:52:09.600 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, nasa kapangyarihan pa rin po ng MCV sa ngayon na tumaha ng concrete steps to accelerate unit turnover. asr-002231 02:52:10.680 --> 02:52:16.640 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, baka po pwedeng makapagdetali ano po yung pwedeng magawa para po mas mapabilis pa. asr-002232 02:52:16.780 --> 02:52:21.040 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Lalo na't ayaw din naman nating paabutin sa sunset clause. asr-002233 02:52:21.360 --> 02:52:30.580 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, bago po, may marami pa rin naghihintay dito sa turnover. asr-002234 02:52:40.320 --> 02:52:47.460 Rep. Nicanor M. Briones: Ang NHA ang sa settlement at ang MCB ay sa compensation lang. asr-002235 02:52:49.320 --> 02:52:50.860 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor. asr-002236 02:52:50.860 --> 02:52:54.060 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Marami pa rin pong may concerns sa Marawi Compensation Board. asr-002237 02:52:54.620 --> 02:53:00.860 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Magiging bukas po ba ang MCV sa isang dialogo sa mga internally displaced persons, asr-002238 02:53:01.860 --> 02:53:08.840 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: sa lahat ng mga apektadong sektor para po mas mapabilis yung hindi lang turnover ng unit, asr-002239 02:53:09.380 --> 02:53:17.720 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pero ma-streamline yung concerns at maayos na matawid yung kanilang mga hinahing para po maaksyonan ng MCV? asr-002240 02:53:18.580 --> 02:53:20.720 Rep. Nicanor M.

But this is what we can assure you po. asr-002540 03:21:17.900 --> 03:21:19.820 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Maraming salamat, Madam Sponsor. asr-002541 03:21:19.820 --> 03:21:21.400 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sana po ito po. asr-002542 03:21:21.520 --> 03:21:46.740 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Kaya, magawa po talaga natin. Kasi ilang foreign countries na rin po ang pumasok sa ating bansa. Kagaya na lamang nung nakaraan, nagkaroon po ng labor strike ang ating mga DHL workers na kung saan sinasabi nilang labor laws ng Pilipinas ang sinusunod. asr-002543 03:21:46.740 --> 03:21:50.740 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: However, nung nagkaroon na ng union sa loob ng DHL. asr-002544 03:21:51.520 --> 03:21:56.820 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Eh, bigla na lamang silang in-end yung contract ng mga workers. asr-002545 03:21:57.060 --> 03:22:10.020 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: So, sana po, hindi lamang po ito pangako ng Paxilica, kundi talagang magkakaroon ng provision at talagang mapanagot po natin yung kumpanya na lalabag dito. asr-002546 03:22:10.860 --> 03:22:18.780 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: With that, Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor, ang susunod po na katanungan ko, follow up lamang po. asr-002547 03:22:18.780 --> 03:22:21.400 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Saan sa Paxilica agreement naman? asr-002548 03:22:21.520 --> 03:22:29.280 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Saan po, nakasaad na may kapangyarihan ang BCDA na i-penalize ang mga non-compliant companies, kung meron man po? asr-002549 03:22:29.940 --> 03:22:41.260 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Again, Madam Speaker, wala pa pong agreement. Pero again, sinusigurado po ng BCDA na magiging compliant po tayo sa mga batas ng Pilipinas. asr-002550 03:22:42.060 --> 03:22:50.340 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sana po, kung ano yung napag-usapan natin dito, uulitin ko po, kung sinasabi ninyo ganyan, asr-002551 03:22:50.340 --> 03:22:58.060 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: maganda po yung balita. Pero hanggat wala pong agreement, wala pong provision, wala pong papel, nakakabahala pa rin po. asr-002552 03:22:59.640 --> 03:23:12.560 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Susunod po na katanungan ko ay, paano naman po isisiguro ng BCDA na malayang makapag-unionize ang mga manggagawa sa loob ng mga development projects na ito? asr-002553 03:23:13.880 --> 03:23:17.680 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Again, Madam Speaker, we will follow Philippine labor laws. asr-002554 03:23:17.680 --> 03:23:21.160 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: At ito naman po ay nakasaad sa provision po natin. asr-002555 03:23:21.520 --> 03:23:30.860 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Kaugnay po nung nangyari sa DHL, sana hindi po mangyari yung nangyari sa DHL na Philippine labor law ang sinunod, asr-002556 03:23:31.020 --> 03:23:39.140 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: pero nung nagka-unionize, biglang umayaw na si DHL. So sana hindi po gano'n yung mangyayari dito. asr-002557 03:23:40.060 --> 03:23:46.020 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Paano naman po isisiguro ng BCDA na ang mga manggagawang Pilipino, asr-002558 03:23:46.020 --> 03:23:53.280 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ang majority na mahahire sa mga high quality jobs sa Clark Advanced Manufacturing Park? asr-002559 03:23:53.700 --> 03:23:59.400 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Baka naman po kasi dahil foreign country yung papasok dito, asr-002560 03:23:59.520 --> 03:24:04.440 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: baka naman po dadalhin din nila yung kanilang mga manggagawa mula sa ibang bansa. asr-002561 03:24:16.020 --> 03:24:31.840 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Ayon po sa ating BOI, ang nakasaad po ay minimum 90% po ang mga Pilipino na magtatrabaho. asr-002562 03:24:31.840 --> 03:24:37.160 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: As a-handing po natin yan na makikita natin sa provision or sa agreement po. asr-002563 03:24:38.800 --> 03:24:45.780 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: At hindi ko na itatanong kung saan parte po yun ng agreement ng Paxilica dahil kagaya ng nasagot nyo po kanina, asr-002564 03:24:46.020 --> 03:24:49.500 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: wala pa nga po. So sana nga, nandoon din po yan. asr-002565 03:24:50.980 --> 03:25:00.240 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: As you can see, dear colleague, in the past months, Paxilica is toted as the economic miracle of the country. asr-002566 03:25:00.240 --> 03:25:04.000 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Pero wala pa palang malinaw na agreement. asr-002567 03:25:04.600 --> 03:25:14.240 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: It's extremely concerning na nag-hard launch na ang BCDA, nag-notify na sa LGU at sa mga residenteng maapektuhan. asr-002568 03:25:14.240 --> 03:25:20.620 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Pero ang sagot, lagi ay wala pa palang malinaw na kongkretong agreement. asr-002569 03:25:21.360 --> 03:25:28.080 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Nagpadala na rin kayo ng notices sa mga residente, pero wala pa rin po palang agreement, no? asr-002570 03:25:28.700 --> 03:25:32.320 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Are we being taken for a ride with this agreement? asr-002575 03:25:55.120 --> 03:26:04.620 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Madam Speaker, as we said, wala pa pong final na mga pag-uusap. asr-002576 03:26:04.720 --> 03:26:06.440 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Meron pa lang pong mga diskusyon. asr-002577 03:26:07.000 --> 03:26:09.760 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Meron pa lang pong initial discussions. asr-002578 03:26:10.160 --> 03:26:14.160 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Kaya po, siguro kapag meron na pong feedback. asr-002579 03:26:14.240 --> 03:26:25.020 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: doon po natin maisasalaysay at mayuulat kung ano po yung magiging final agreements po natin. asr-002580 03:26:25.260 --> 03:26:28.960 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Naintindihan ko po ito Madam Speaker, Madam Sponsor. asr-002581 03:26:30.060 --> 03:26:35.060 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Medyo nabahala lang ako doon sa nakapag-notify na wala pa palang agreement, asr-002582 03:26:35.320 --> 03:26:40.900 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: nasa usapan pa lang pala tayo kung ano-anong mga provisions ang gagawin natin. asr-002583 03:26:40.900 --> 03:26:50.700 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Hindi po yata tama na inonotify na natin ang mga residente para sila ay makaalis na tapos wala pa palang agreement. asr-002584 03:26:51.500 --> 03:26:58.780 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ang 2027 budget ng BCDA, ang year zero bago magsimula ang construction. asr-002585 03:26:59.680 --> 03:27:05.740 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Yet mukhang wala pa palang kapangyarihan ang lead agency para dito para masigurong asr-002586 03:27:05.740 --> 03:27:10.460 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ang mga Pilipino talaga ang magbe-benefit at hindi mga dayuhan. asr-002587 03:27:10.900 --> 03:27:20.520 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Dadako naman po ako sa usapin at concerns ng indigenous people at mga community na maa-apektuhan ng development ng Paxilica. asr-002588 03:27:21.240 --> 03:27:30.920 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Madam Sponsor, para po sa inyong kaalaman at sa BCDA family, ako po ay isang indigenous people, isa po akong IP, asr-002589 03:27:31.240 --> 03:27:37.140 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: kaya mahalaga po sa akin yung karapatan ng aking mga constituent na mga IP, no? asr-002590 03:27:37.140 --> 03:27:40.080 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: So, can the BCDA confirm? asr-002591 03:27:40.900 --> 03:27:49.520 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: There are indigenous peoples and indigenous cultural communities that will be affected if the project pushes through. asr-002592 03:27:53.960 --> 03:28:00.320 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Madam Speaker, siguro para magbigay po ng mas malawak na perspektibo, asr-002593 03:28:01.240 --> 03:28:10.320 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: yung pong Clark Freeport Special Economic Zone ay meron pong 35,300 hectares. asr-002594 03:28:10.900 --> 03:28:18.900 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: At ito pong camp na tinutukoy natin ay 1,620 hectares lamang. asr-002595 03:28:20.280 --> 03:28:30.780 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Doon po sa kabuan ng 35,300, inalis na po doon, binukod na po yung ating pong mga ancestral domain. asr-002596 03:28:31.240 --> 03:28:38.780 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Meron pong halos 15,000 na nakabukod na po na ginagalang ng BCDA. asr-002597 03:28:39.900 --> 03:28:40.780 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Yung kanila pong... asr-002598 03:28:40.900 --> 03:28:53.380 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Pero dito po sa ating campsite, wala pa po, even at the NCIP level, wala pong CAD-T or CALT na nare-recognize pa po. asr-002599 03:28:54.520 --> 03:28:58.220 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Salamat po, no? Magandang balita kung sakaling ganun nga talaga. asr-002600 03:28:58.440 --> 03:29:02.960 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Dahil ibig sabihin, pinapahalagahan po natin ang mga indigenous people. asr-002601 03:29:03.480 --> 03:29:10.520 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Gayun pa man po, gusto ko lang i-follow up na naintindihan ko na sinegregate na po natin, asr-002602 03:29:10.900 --> 03:29:13.880 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: gagal na po natin yung mga may ancestral domain. asr-002603 03:29:14.040 --> 03:29:21.220 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ngayon, ang tanong ko po, may mga communities pa rin po ba na maapektuhan na sila ay mga indigenous people, asr-002604 03:29:21.360 --> 03:29:23.740 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ngunit wala lang ancestral domain? asr-002649 03:29:59.080 --> 03:30:08.460 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Madam Speaker, doon po sa New Clark City Special Economic Zone, Freeport and Special Economic Zone, asr-002650 03:30:08.660 --> 03:30:19.100 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: meron pong ilang both IP and non-IP na settlers po. asr-002651 03:30:19.960 --> 03:30:28.700 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: So, ibig sabihin may maaapektuhan ng mga IP community na walang ancestral domain. asr-002652 03:30:28.700 --> 03:30:34.240 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Doon po sa area, nakasama sa 35,300 hectares. asr-002653 03:30:35.560 --> 03:30:48.880 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Doon po sa camp area, doon sa 1,600 hectares po, meron po na ilang mga IP and non-IP families. asr-002654 03:30:49.440 --> 03:30:55.820 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Ano po kaya ang magiging commitment ng BCDA na itong mga IP na to, asr-002655 03:30:55.820 --> 03:30:58.540 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: despite not having an ancestral domain, asr-002656 03:30:58.700 --> 03:31:04.320 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ay maa-re-remain ang kanilang dignidad, asr-002657 03:31:04.840 --> 03:31:10.040 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ma-re-respeto pa rin ang kanilang rights as an indigenous people. asr-002658 03:31:10.820 --> 03:31:21.680 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Can the BCDA commit na meron pa rin po tayong i-implace or i-impose na batas para sa ating mga IP constituents asr-002659 03:31:21.680 --> 03:31:24.840 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: na even if wala po silang ancestral domain? asr-002660 03:31:28.700 --> 03:31:43.220 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Madam Speaker, para po doon sa affected families, IP families po natin, asr-002661 03:31:43.700 --> 03:31:52.640 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: BCDA will coordinate with NCIP and the LGU para po matukoy ang kanila pong saloobin asr-002662 03:31:52.640 --> 03:31:58.680 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: at siyempre tignan po kung ano po yung pwedeng mabigay natin. asr-002663 03:31:58.700 --> 03:32:01.320 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: May tulong ng ating pong gobyerno sa kanila. asr-002664 03:32:02.260 --> 03:32:08.960 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Hindi po natin sila, hindi isasama sa ating pong developmental and social plan. asr-002665 03:32:10.280 --> 03:32:22.920 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Definitely po, hindi po natin hahayaan na wala po tayong ibibigay na alternatibong option para po sa kanila. asr-002666 03:32:23.540 --> 03:32:25.960 Rep.

Dadah Kiram Ismula: sana po ay kayo po mismo yung bababa sa grounds at kakausap sa mga IP constituents or even non-IP constituents. asr-002672 03:32:50.960 --> 03:32:55.300 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Huwag po sana nating hayaan na ang sulat lang, written document lang, asr-002673 03:32:55.420 --> 03:32:58.680 Rep.

Dadah Kiram Ismula: ng marami pang hindi nasasagot ng mga concerns. asr-002680 03:33:40.440 --> 03:33:47.880 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Sana po, unahin po natin muna yung mga concerns bago po natin madaliin ang mga agreements na ito. asr-002681 03:33:48.560 --> 03:33:53.600 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Malinaw naman sa ating mga Pinoy na kung hindi nakataga sa bato, asr-002682 03:33:53.600 --> 03:33:58.600 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: ang mga pangako ay posibleng napapakataon. asr-002683 03:33:58.660 --> 03:33:59.700 Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula: Napapako, no? asr-002684 03:34:00.120 --> 03:34:02.720 Rep.

Renee Louise M. Co: Ayon po dito sa April 9, 2026 letter ng BCDA, binubukas niya po ang 4,000 hectares acres strategically located in the Luzon Economic Corridor under a lease-free agreement may grace period of two years bilang offer of in-kind contribution towards developing and advancing the bilateral economic security partnership between the governments of the Philippines asr-002726 03:37:16.120 --> 03:37:45.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and the United States of America. May scope and objectives, meron pong paglatag ng terms at ng legal basis. Ang tanong ko po, if the offer of land proceeded or was simultaneous with the country's formal partnership, ano pong otoridad o propriety na meron ng BCDA to commit up to 4,000 acres of sovereign state land to a foreign coalition, asr-002727 03:37:45.180 --> 03:37:50.440 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: the Philippines had not yet formally joined. Madam Speaker, good sponsor, maaari po ba tayong ma-enlighten dito? asr-002728 03:37:51.260 --> 03:38:13.020 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Madam Speaker, katulad po ng nabanggit ng ating distinguished colleague, ito po ay isang proposal na pinadala po ng BCDA. Hindi po ito na iba sa mga proposal na pinapadala ng BCDA bilang isang IPA or Investment Promotions Agency. Ito po kasi talaga yung mandato nila. asr-002729 03:38:15.180 --> 03:38:26.000 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, ano pong basihan kung bakit nagbukas ng proposal ang BCDA ng April 9, 2026 via letter sa Estados Unidos? asr-002730 03:38:40.140 --> 03:38:44.980 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Ang basihan po ng proposal na pinadala ng BCDA. asr-002731 03:38:45.180 --> 03:38:56.220 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: ay yung mismong Republic Act na nag-create sa BCDA plus po yung isa pa po nating batas na Investor's Lease Act. asr-002732 03:38:58.580 --> 03:39:05.680 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Mayroon po bang mga relevant agencies o kaya po ang presidente na nag-authorize ng offer na ito in advance? asr-002733 03:39:05.680 --> 03:39:13.000 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Was anyone outside the BCDA involved in crafting this offer and authorizing this offer? asr-002734 03:39:15.180 --> 03:39:40.580 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Ito pong proposal ay bunga ng ating pong pagsapi sa deklarasyon at dahil ito po ay pinadala sa ibang bansa, ito po ay nireview ng iba't ibang mga national agencies cleared para ipadala ng BCDA. asr-002735 03:39:40.580 --> 03:39:44.540 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, to clarify, ano pong deklarasyon na ito? asr-002736 03:39:45.180 --> 03:39:46.440 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Na na-mention ninyo? asr-002737 03:39:47.140 --> 03:39:48.860 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Yung Paxilica Declaration po. asr-002738 03:39:48.860 --> 03:40:03.100 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Pero ang tanong Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, prior to the sending of this letter ng April 9, ang presidente po ba o kahit anong relevant na ahensya ng gobyerno nag-authorize in advance of this offer? asr-002739 03:40:03.240 --> 03:40:05.760 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So prior to April 9, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor. asr-002740 03:40:06.760 --> 03:40:15.520 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Yes, Madam Speaker, kinlear po ito ng DOJ at in-endorse po ng DTI, ng DFA. asr-002741 03:40:15.820 --> 03:40:25.200 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So may clearance, endorsement ng DOJ and DFA prior to April 9, prior to sending the proposal? asr-002742 03:40:25.740 --> 03:40:26.700 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Yes, Madam Speaker. asr-002743 03:40:27.440 --> 03:40:35.240 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Kailan po ito ginawa ng DOJ and DFA? Kailan po na-receive ng BCDA itong clearances and endorsements? asr-002744 03:40:38.900 --> 03:40:40.240 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Ito po ay... asr-002745 03:40:45.180 --> 03:40:59.900 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: The day before April 9, Madam Speaker. asr-002746 03:41:01.120 --> 03:41:08.500 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Bakit po, curiosity, ang DOJ kailangang i-clear at i-endorse itong offer na ito? asr-002766 03:41:15.180 --> 03:41:26.780 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: To ensure po na ito po ay compliant sa ating pong BCDA Act at sa Investors Lease Act. asr-002767 03:41:27.240 --> 03:41:29.980 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: And Philippine laws po, Madam Speaker. asr-002768 03:41:30.160 --> 03:41:39.680 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, is the DepDev ever consulted about the offer prior to the BCDA making it? asr-002769 03:41:39.680 --> 03:41:52.880 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Hindi po, Madam Speaker, kasi ito po ay isang preliminary proposal pa lang po. asr-002770 03:41:54.520 --> 03:42:07.320 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Other than the DOJ and DFA, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, sino pa po ba involved dito sa pagbuo ng terms, ng scope ng proposal na ito? asr-002812 03:42:11.220 --> 03:42:16.060 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Aside from DOJ, DFA, BCDA po, and BOI. asr-002813 03:42:17.120 --> 03:42:38.900 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, kung maari din po natin makuha yun in a report na paglalatag ng sino pong mga ahensya, sino pong mga heads of agencies ang involved sa pagbuo ng proposal because I assume this high level of proposal, kahit sabihin mang preliminary, asr-002814 03:42:38.900 --> 03:42:57.040 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: marami pong recurso ang pinag-uusapan, ang tinataya, at hindi naman po basta-basta lang na mga ahensya na hindi na konsulta sa appropriate other government bodies na magagawa ito. asr-002815 03:42:57.040 --> 03:42:58.440 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor. asr-002816 03:42:58.880 --> 03:42:59.420 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Yes, Madam Speaker. asr-002817 03:42:59.420 --> 03:43:08.740 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Kung maari din po ang mga dates at inputs at mga endorsements na ginawa na relevant ng mga DOJ, ng mga ahensya. asr-002818 03:43:10.600 --> 03:43:13.200 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Yes, Madam Speaker, we will comply. asr-002818-split-2 03:43:13.200 --> 03:43:38.880 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So Madam Speaker, good sponsor, ang sunod nating tanong: ang Department of Agriculture o ang Department of Agrarian Reform ba nakonsulta ng BCDA bago po binuksan sa isang offer ang lupain na in-identify for Pax Silica, given that the site displaces active farmland in Tarlac? asr-002819 03:43:38.900 --> 03:43:57.400 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Madam Speaker, ito pong pinag-uusapan po natin, public land under Clark Freeport and special economic zone, ito po ay naka-master plan na bilang isang economic zone po for industrial development. asr-002820 03:43:57.400 --> 03:44:03.700 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So Madam Speaker, good sponsor, is the sponsor denying agricultural displacement? asr-002821 03:44:08.900 --> 03:44:16.580 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Madam Speaker, hindi po classified as agricultural land itong pinag-uusapan po nating subject area. asr-002822 03:44:17.860 --> 03:44:26.600 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, may sinasayit na essentially legal tag sa lupain na ito. asr-002823 03:44:26.600 --> 03:44:38.500 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ang reality, however, ay around May this year, residents of Barangay Santa Lucia, Capas, says that PCDA sent a one-month eviction notice. asr-002824 03:44:38.900 --> 03:44:40.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Without prior consultation. asr-002825 03:44:40.920 --> 03:44:47.380 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And several farmers also claimed PCDA had offered to purchase their land for only 30 pesos per square meter. asr-002826 03:44:47.640 --> 03:44:59.840 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And in August, around 92 farmers in Barangay O'Donnell, Capas, Tarlac have reportedly been urged by the PCDA to vacate the farmland they have been cultivating. asr-002827 03:45:00.000 --> 03:45:16.600 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Residents of Sitio Sapangkawayan, Barangay Aranguren, said the project could displace families from ancestral land where generations have lived and farmed while also putting their burial grounds, livelihood, and community institutions at risk. asr-002828 03:45:16.600 --> 03:45:31.160 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: May mga senators po calling for a Senate probe amid complaints that farmers are allegedly being ordered to stop planting and are facing intimidation, arguing any land use conversion must follow due process under DAR rules. asr-002829 03:45:31.720 --> 03:45:39.000 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Marami po tayong data, gaya na rin po sa preliminary, and preliminary pa lang po ito, na studies ng mga ibang ahensya. asr-002830 03:45:39.000 --> 03:45:44.700 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: The DA noted that 15,200 farmers might lose their agricultural land. asr-002831 03:45:44.700 --> 03:45:52.700 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And a civil society organization, Calicasan, said the project could result in the long-term displacement of around 20,000 AITA residents. asr-002832 03:45:53.760 --> 03:45:59.420 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: May sinasabi po na hindi po ito tagged as agricultural land. asr-002833 03:45:59.600 --> 03:46:07.400 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: But is the BCDA aware of this when it made the proposal na may 20,000 AITA residents na nariyan? asr-002834 03:46:07.400 --> 03:46:12.900 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Meron pong 15,200 farmers na maaari pong mawala ang kanilang lupain. asr-002835 03:46:13.300 --> 03:46:14.500 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At ngayon po. asr-002836 03:46:14.700 --> 03:46:18.760 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ito po yung paraan kung paano niya pinapatigil ito. asr-002837 03:46:19.300 --> 03:46:25.900 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Reports of harassment, intimidation, para makuha, maklear yung lupain. asr-002838 03:46:26.080 --> 03:46:27.140 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Madam Speaker, good sponsor. asr-002839 03:46:27.760 --> 03:46:30.120 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Yes, Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague. asr-002840 03:46:30.620 --> 03:46:38.760 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Siguro parang meron pong discrepancy sa mga bilang na, malalaking mga bilang na naisalaysay po ninyo. asr-002841 03:46:39.500 --> 03:46:44.680 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: We would like to request for a copy of this para ma-review po ng BCDA. asr-002842 03:46:44.700 --> 03:46:57.700 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Pero sa ngayon po, wala pong 20,000 farmers displaced and wala rin pong 20,000 AITAS displaced. asr-002843 03:46:58.880 --> 03:47:07.040 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: In fact, again, ito pong pinag-uusapan po nating lupa ay special economic zone, hindi po siya agricultural. asr-002844 03:47:07.040 --> 03:47:14.680 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: And yung kabuan po ng 35,300 hectares, nakabukod po. asr-002845 03:47:14.700 --> 03:47:20.040 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Ito po yung mga lupain na under ng DAR area. asr-002846 03:47:20.860 --> 03:47:26.960 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Ito po ay merong kabuang 10,700 hectares under DAR farmlands. asr-002847 03:47:27.880 --> 03:47:29.140 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor. asr-002848 03:47:29.320 --> 03:47:40.580 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: To clarify, ang binigay ng mga numero ng kinatawan na ito ay mga estimates kung tuloy-tuloy na mangyari yung mga displacement na ongoing na po ngayon. asr-002849 03:47:40.580 --> 03:47:44.680 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So ito po ay mga public pronouncements from civil society. asr-002850 03:47:44.700 --> 03:47:50.160 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ito po ay mga public pronouncements from civil society organizations na maaari din pong i-furnish ng representasyon na ito ng kopya. asr-002851 03:47:50.580 --> 03:48:04.420 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: But nonetheless, ang tanong po natin ay despite yung pagsabi na meron pong ganitong pagtag na this is land under special economic zone. asr-002852 03:48:04.980 --> 03:48:06.840 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ang reality po, may AITA po doon. asr-002853 03:48:06.840 --> 03:48:09.580 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Nagpunta po tayo, Madam Speaker, good sponsor. asr-002854 03:48:10.140 --> 03:48:14.540 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Meron pong nagkiklaim that for the longest time, naroon sila sa lupa. asr-002855 03:48:14.700 --> 03:48:16.720 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ngayon, burial ground din po nila. asr-002856 03:48:17.120 --> 03:48:21.040 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: They have been farming for generations in the land that was provided. asr-002857 03:48:21.460 --> 03:48:22.740 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So Madam Speaker, good sponsor. asr-002858 03:48:22.860 --> 03:48:32.760 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ang tanong ko, may FPIC po bang obtained from or even sought from the AITA community in Sitio, Sapang, Kawayan before the offer was extended to a foreign government? asr-002859 03:48:32.760 --> 03:48:43.880 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Nagkaroon po ba ng opportunity ang BCDA para i-check na okay, kahit ito nakalagay as special economic zone land to na may mga magsasaka po doon? asr-002860 03:48:44.700 --> 03:48:49.560 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At kinausap, kinonsulta, kinuha yung FPIC bago po ginawa yung offer na ito. asr-002861 03:48:50.280 --> 03:48:58.060 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, ito pong pinag-uusapan po nating area para po sa camp. asr-002862 03:48:58.580 --> 03:49:00.960 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Wala pong ancestral domain dito. asr-002863 03:49:01.460 --> 03:49:03.660 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Wala pong CADT or CALT po dito. asr-002864 03:49:04.120 --> 03:49:05.720 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor. asr-002865 03:49:05.920 --> 03:49:14.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Under the Indigenous People's Rights Act, FPIC is supposed to precede decisions affecting ancestral domain, not follow a commitment. asr-002866 03:49:14.700 --> 03:49:16.480 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Already made internationally. asr-002867 03:49:17.220 --> 03:49:20.980 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So I'd like to confirm, i-confirm yung sequence. asr-002868 03:49:21.260 --> 03:49:28.360 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: The land was offered to the U.S. for the Paxilica project bago po magkaroon ng any consultation, asr-002869 03:49:28.680 --> 03:49:33.640 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: even though sinabi na as of now, wala pong CADT. asr-002870 03:49:35.460 --> 03:49:38.800 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Wala pong FPIC kasi po wala pong CADT. asr-002871 03:49:40.440 --> 03:49:42.140 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor. asr-002872 03:49:42.380 --> 03:49:43.620 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ang sunod po nating tanong. asr-002873 03:49:44.000 --> 03:49:44.360 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And I'd like to... asr-002874 03:49:44.700 --> 03:49:47.220 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Loop back and circle back to that data, no? asr-002875 03:49:47.220 --> 03:49:54.700 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Given that BCDA has acknowledged on the record at the August 14th Senate hearing that consultations have not been completed asr-002876 03:49:54.700 --> 03:49:59.000 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and investors have yet to submit a development plan, asr-002877 03:49:59.380 --> 03:50:04.640 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: does BCDA consider it appropriate governance practice to make an international commitment first asr-002878 03:50:04.640 --> 03:50:11.540 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and complete domestic due diligence, agricultural impact, environmental assessment, indigenous consent, asr-002879 03:50:11.980 --> 03:50:14.220 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: local government coordination pagkatapos? asr-002880 03:50:14.220 --> 03:50:30.020 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, again, ito pong subject area na pinag-uusapan po natin ay special freeport, freeport and special economic zone. asr-002881 03:50:31.620 --> 03:50:36.220 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Yung ating pong proposal ay preliminary lamang po. asr-002882 03:50:37.460 --> 03:50:42.540 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Kaya po wala pong FPIC na ginanap. asr-002883 03:50:42.540 --> 03:50:43.540 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Kasi po hindi po... asr-002884 03:50:44.220 --> 03:50:49.700 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Wala pong ancestral domain dito po sa subject area. asr-002885 03:50:50.380 --> 03:50:51.500 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor. asr-002886 03:50:51.700 --> 03:50:58.160 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Paano po hinaharap ng BCDA yung issue na lumalabas ngayon ang mga iilang magsasaka asr-002887 03:50:58.160 --> 03:51:04.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: that they're claiming na may ancestral lands and domain po sila? asr-002888 03:51:04.180 --> 03:51:08.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Sabihin po natin na as of now, there is no certificate. asr-002889 03:51:08.920 --> 03:51:13.140 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Pero may grupo pong lumalabas, sinasabi ang doon sila. asr-002890 03:51:13.140 --> 03:51:16.920 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Meron silang pruweba that they've been occupying that for the longest time. asr-002891 03:51:17.620 --> 03:51:25.700 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Hindi po ba dapat i-halt natin ang lahat at kausapin sila, i-finalize, i-clear po itong lahat bago tayo mag-proceed? asr-002892 03:51:26.120 --> 03:51:34.640 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Because unfortunately, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, ang nakita natin na developments posted by the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines asr-002893 03:51:34.640 --> 03:51:36.640 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and covered by... asr-002894 03:51:37.760 --> 03:51:43.120 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and even posted by the United States Secretary of State. asr-002895 03:51:43.140 --> 03:51:47.160 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Jacob Helberg ay may Pax Silica marker nang ina-unveil. asr-002896 03:51:47.560 --> 03:51:52.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Hindi po ba ito, hindi ba advanced masyado ang thinking dito? asr-002897 03:51:52.460 --> 03:51:56.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Lalo na't may naghahabol na nandyan po ang lupain namin. asr-002898 03:51:56.880 --> 03:52:01.040 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At syempre, madidisplace kami, mawawalan po kami ng lupa kung tutuloy-tuloy ito. asr-002899 03:52:13.140 --> 03:52:39.640 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, again, itong subject area ay Freeport and Special Economic Zone. asr-002900 03:52:39.640 --> 03:52:42.920 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Kaya po, mandato po ng BCDA. asr-002901 03:52:43.140 --> 03:52:52.900 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Na as an investments promotions agency, na magamit ito for productive use para po sa matugunan yung kanilang mandato. asr-002902 03:52:53.840 --> 03:53:01.200 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, with all due respect to our colleague and of course, sa pagkilala pa rin naman ng batas at mandato ng iba't ibang ahensya, asr-002903 03:53:03.040 --> 03:53:04.200 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: maaari po nating... asr-002904 03:53:05.600 --> 03:53:11.200 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: This representation can think of various answers to that question such as, asr-002905 03:53:11.460 --> 03:53:12.700 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pwede po nating itigil? asr-002906 03:53:13.140 --> 03:53:23.680 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: I-pause muna ang pagproseso ng proyekto until ma-resolve natin yung mga issues regarding farmers that have conflicting claims about the land. asr-002907 03:53:24.140 --> 03:53:34.920 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Despite the fact na may saklaw nga pong batas, despite the fact na may identified lands, na sinasabi ito po, Special Economic Zone ito. asr-002908 03:53:34.920 --> 03:53:40.100 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, meron pong mga claims ang mga farmers. asr-002909 03:53:40.780 --> 03:53:42.000 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: May claims ang ITAS. asr-002910 03:53:42.080 --> 03:53:43.120 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ITAS po ang mga farmers. asr-002911 03:53:43.140 --> 03:53:55.580 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Yung pinakaunang mga tribo na nakalapag sa Pilipinas, sa kasaysayan natin, they predate the concept of the Philippine State. asr-002912 03:53:56.320 --> 03:54:07.360 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And most likely, they can make claims as long as meron silang evidence which even might predate yung concept ng mga batas natin dito ngayon. asr-002913 03:54:07.360 --> 03:54:12.360 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, hindi po ba natin dapat ikonsidera yung kanilang mga... asr-002914 03:54:13.140 --> 03:54:24.880 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: nilalapag ng mga threat, banta sa kanilang buhay, sa kanilang kabuhayan, bago po mag-proceed further sa ganitong proyekto? asr-002915 03:54:25.420 --> 03:54:30.320 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, wala pong threat sa kanilang mga buhay. asr-002916 03:54:31.320 --> 03:54:39.660 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Alam po ng ating mga farmers na itong lupa na ito ay nakatitulo sa BCDA. asr-002917 03:54:39.980 --> 03:54:42.980 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Ito po ay Freeport and Special Economic Zone. asr-002918 03:54:43.140 --> 03:54:53.240 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Claro po ito sa kanila sa mga dialogues and sa mga groundwork na ginagawa po ng BCDA. asr-002919 03:54:54.020 --> 03:55:02.400 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, I find it hard to believe na tatanggapin na lang po ng mga ITA tribes, ng mga grupo ng mga magsasaka, asr-002920 03:55:02.680 --> 03:55:10.780 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na may pumunta pong biglang mga government officials and employees in suits at sasabihin nila, asr-002921 03:55:10.780 --> 03:55:13.020 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: actually po, yung lupang tinitilikan ninyo. asr-002922 03:55:13.260 --> 03:55:17.780 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Pagmamayari po yan ng pamahalaan, kailangan na pong i-clear dahil po may proyekto pong pupunta dyan. asr-002923 03:55:18.440 --> 03:55:25.540 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, let just the record show that this representation repeatedly asked, asr-002924 03:55:26.180 --> 03:55:35.660 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: kung ano pong response ng BCDA sa mga paulit-ulit na concerns ng mga magsasaka, ng mga tribo na sinasabi, asr-002925 03:55:36.220 --> 03:55:42.760 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: dito po kami nakatira, dito po ang aming kabuhayan, and the response that I've been getting is, asr-002926 03:55:43.140 --> 03:55:53.600 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: but the law provides that this particular land is part and tag under the applicable laws like the Special Economic Zone. asr-002927 03:55:54.060 --> 03:56:00.840 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, as I have my time is limited, I would move on to the next line of questioning, asr-002928 03:56:01.380 --> 03:56:09.840 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: at tungkol naman po ito sa mismong batas na nire-refer, which is RA 7916, or the Special Economic Zone Act, asr-002929 03:56:09.840 --> 03:56:12.840 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na pinasa in 1995 with the express... asr-002930 03:56:13.140 --> 03:56:20.020 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: statutory purpose of promoting technology-intensive industries that will modernize the country's industrial sector asr-002931 03:56:20.020 --> 03:56:27.040 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and enabling technology transfer and managerial know-how to transfer them to domestic firms. asr-002932 03:56:27.700 --> 03:56:36.580 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Three decades later, gusto po natin makita from BCDA to cite specific, measurable instances of technology transfer asr-002933 03:56:36.580 --> 03:56:42.140 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and modernization of industrial sector directly due to PESA-registered firms, asr-002934 03:56:43.140 --> 03:56:49.240 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: or Philippine-owned manufacturing capacity, not just employment figures but, Madam Speaker, to note, asr-002935 03:56:49.240 --> 03:57:00.440 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: IP transfer, domestic supplier upgrading, or Filipino-owned firms that graduated into higher value-added production because of eco-zone spillovers. asr-002936 03:57:00.440 --> 03:57:03.540 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Is that data available right now, Madam Speaker, good sponsor? asr-002937 03:57:05.540 --> 03:57:12.980 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Right now, Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, wala pa yung data sa amin, but we will, if you will allow, we will submit that. asr-002939 03:57:14.800 --> 03:57:43.120 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, aantayin po natin yung report na iyon dahil po kung ang sinasabi na rason kung bakit po dapat magkaroon ng Pax Silica ay ang basehan ay ang Special Economic Zone Act, it has been in place actually three decades now. So we would like to see ano po ba yung naging progress from when it was passed up to now kung paano po asr-002940 03:57:43.120 --> 03:57:54.900 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, inactualize yung batas. Paano po nagkaroon ng technology-intensive industries dahil po nagkaroon ng modernization of industrial sector asr-002941 03:57:54.900 --> 03:58:01.700 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na supposedly BCDA is at the lead if not one of the agencies ought to implement this. asr-002942 03:58:01.800 --> 03:58:05.260 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, iintayin po natin yung report na iyon. asr-002943 03:58:06.120 --> 03:58:07.020 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Yes, Madam Speaker. asr-002944 03:58:07.020 --> 03:58:13.020 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ang final question na lang po, Madam Speaker, may napansin tayo that in that proportion, asr-002945 03:58:13.120 --> 03:58:22.460 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: the proposal letter to the U.S. State Department, it does explicitly state that RA 7916 is the governing law for personnel arrangements at the site. asr-002946 03:58:23.100 --> 03:58:33.920 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Pero po, noong July, BCDA's president told the press that the project would instead be covered by the BCDA law and create more. asr-002947 03:58:33.920 --> 03:58:41.900 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, we'd like to clarify, which fiscal and legal framework ultimately governs the Paxilica Coordination Office? asr-002948 03:58:42.300 --> 03:58:43.100 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor. asr-002949 03:58:43.120 --> 03:59:05.900 Rep. Maria Angela S. Garcia: Ang legal basis po ay yung BCDA law at yung create more, which is an update of the 7916 RA. asr-002950 03:59:06.680 --> 03:59:09.820 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor. asr-002951 03:59:10.960 --> 03:59:12.900 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Iintay natin yung iba't-ibang... asr-002952 03:59:13.120 --> 03:59:16.120 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Iintay natin yung mga reports na ni-request ng kinatawa na ito. asr-002953 03:59:16.640 --> 03:59:20.040 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: But as a final manifestation, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, asr-002954 03:59:21.620 --> 03:59:30.000 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang mga napansin natin, mga iba't-ibang arrangements na in-undertake under the Special Economic Zone Act, asr-002955 03:59:30.920 --> 03:59:34.980 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: we surmise it won't be as different sa gagawin sa Paxilica. asr-002956 03:59:34.980 --> 03:59:42.980 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And given three decades of implementation under these models, we'd like to see from BCDA concrete evidence, asr-002957 03:59:43.120 --> 03:59:53.360 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: not just projections, that these incentives have generated domestic supply chains, asr-002958 03:59:53.720 --> 04:00:00.000 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: import substitution industrialization, or measurable technology transfer into Filipino-owned... asr-002959 04:00:00.000 --> 04:00:02.920 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: in any existing eco-zone. asr-002960 04:00:03.540 --> 04:00:07.140 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Dahil po kung hindi natin makita ang ebidensya na ito, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, asr-002961 04:00:07.880 --> 04:00:13.780 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: we would be hard-pressed to see ano pong basihan sa expectation that the same tools asr-002962 04:00:13.780 --> 04:00:19.580 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: which will be used in Paxilica will produce national industrialization this time. asr-002963 04:00:19.580 --> 04:00:21.320 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: This time will be different. asr-002964 04:00:21.960 --> 04:00:26.580 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Rather than another high-value enclave that imports capital equipment, asr-002965 04:00:26.580 --> 04:00:33.220 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: employs a comparatively small-skilled workforce, limited din pa dito ang mga Pinoy, asr-002966 04:00:33.620 --> 04:00:38.720 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and will export finished output with limited multiplier effect on the broader economy. asr-002967 04:00:39.240 --> 04:00:43.640 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, I no longer have any further questions. asr-002968 04:00:43.760 --> 04:00:49.560 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: We would be eager to see the results of the information that we requested. asr-002969 04:00:49.980 --> 04:00:51.380 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Thank you, Madam Speaker, good sponsor. asr-002970 04:00:52.610 --> 04:00:53.870 Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Thank you very much. asr-002972 04:00:53.870 --> 04:00:55.940 Rep. Daphne A.

Garcia: Maybe we can inquire and check with DAR if ano yung status ng tenorial document for these areas. asr-003000 04:02:28.120 --> 04:02:30.980 Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago: Itatanong natin ito, Madam Speaker, sa harap ng DAR. asr-003001 04:02:31.160 --> 04:02:33.660 Rep. Sarah Jane I.

Antonio L. Tinio: No? asr-003811 04:32:58.060 --> 04:33:00.880 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, the use of the term joint governance. asr-003812 04:33:01.680 --> 04:33:16.400 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: In media reports, sabi, that joint governance included yung U.S. demand na merong diplomatic immunity yung mga personel nila sa zone. asr-003813 04:33:17.700 --> 04:33:25.260 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Subsequently, parang may clarification or denial ang BCDA dito. asr-003814 04:33:25.260 --> 04:33:27.580 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero, yan po ang nakapublish. asr-003815 04:33:28.060 --> 04:33:32.660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yan po ang pinublish ng U.S. State Department. asr-003816 04:33:32.660 --> 04:33:39.780 Rep.

Tinio: No? asr-003852 04:36:01.440 --> 04:36:11.000 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang tanong ko sa Pilipinas, sa gobyerno ng Pilipinas, particular sa BCDA, meron bang ganong animal sa batas ng Republika ng Pilipinas, Economic Security Zone? asr-003853 04:36:12.180 --> 04:36:12.720 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Meron po ba? asr-003854 04:36:13.720 --> 04:36:15.240 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Under our laws? asr-003855 04:36:16.460 --> 04:36:36.580 Rep. Maria Angela S.

Tinio: Yes, wala naman talaga. asr-003857 04:36:38.700 --> 04:36:39.580 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, malinaw po. asr-003858 04:36:39.720 --> 04:36:43.200 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Wala talagang, there's no such thing as an Economic Security Zone. asr-003859 04:36:44.080 --> 04:36:46.440 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No such thing as joint governance. asr-003860 04:36:46.460 --> 04:36:53.640 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: There's no such thing as joint governance under our laws, implying na parang may, maaaring may dalawang batas na iiral. asr-003861 04:36:53.860 --> 04:37:03.540 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ayan po, yung, ang point lang ay sa official releases or statements to the public ng U.S. side, ganyan po ang kanila. asr-003862 04:37:04.600 --> 04:37:11.220 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Na ang itatatag under Paxilica dito sa Pilipinas is something called an Economic Security Zone. asr-003863 04:37:11.600 --> 04:37:14.100 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, una pa lang, mukhang may problema na eh. asr-003864 04:37:14.720 --> 04:37:14.840 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No? asr-003865 04:37:16.460 --> 04:37:18.080 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi na nagsasalubog doon. asr-003866 04:37:18.820 --> 04:37:20.820 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sabi nyo, magkakaroon ng pirmahan. asr-003867 04:37:21.380 --> 04:37:24.220 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Eh, malinaw, may inam po, ilinaw natin. asr-003868 04:37:25.280 --> 04:37:34.380 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Wala ang ganyang animal sa ating batas at hindi dapat pumayag ang gobyerno ng Pilipinas dyan. asr-003869 04:37:34.380 --> 04:37:35.200 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. asr-003870 04:37:35.940 --> 04:37:43.560 Rep. Antonio L.

Co: all without the prior informed consent required by the Basel Convention. asr-004489 05:01:08.860 --> 05:01:12.340 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Sa ilalim po ng Basel Convention, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, asr-004490 05:01:12.460 --> 05:01:16.880 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng e-waste amendment na pumasok sa bisa noong Enero 2025, asr-004491 05:01:17.820 --> 05:01:23.200 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: halos lahat ng e-waste, hazardous man o hindi, ay kontrolado ng konbensyon. asr-004493 05:01:24.100 --> 05:01:27.800 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Malinaw sa probisyon ng Article 4, subsection 5, asr-004494 05:01:28.580 --> 05:01:34.760 Rep. Renee Louise M.

Co: In fact, kung meron pong trade or export galing OECD countries, EU countries, asr-004496 05:01:41.320 --> 05:01:47.440 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: or Liechtenstein, dapat limited lang sa kanila at hindi po sa labas nito mangyari. asr-004497 05:01:48.080 --> 05:01:54.240 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Nonetheless, there's been export of e-waste from the United States imported to the Philippines. asr-004498 05:01:54.280 --> 05:02:02.000 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Wala rin pong anumang bilateral agreement na nagpapahintulot ng importasyon ng e-waste mula sa US papunta sa Pilipinas. asr-004499 05:02:02.380 --> 05:02:05.140 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: This is confirmed by the Department of Foreign Affairs. asr-004500 05:02:05.600 --> 05:02:12.540 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ang umiira lamang nakasunduan ay para sa exports ng ating bansa papunta sa US, and not the other way around. asr-004501 05:02:13.820 --> 05:02:18.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: We have heard preliminarily some defenses of SBMA, asr-004502 05:02:18.180 --> 05:02:22.240 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and this is also what is provided in an RTC ruling, asr-004503 05:02:23.120 --> 05:02:23.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: which allowed... asr-004504 05:02:24.280 --> 05:02:29.120 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: the activities of such trade in SBMA. asr-004505 05:02:29.740 --> 05:02:32.480 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: But Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, my question is, asr-004506 05:02:33.000 --> 05:02:40.080 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: does being a separate customs territory as provided in law enable SBMA to circumvent, asr-004507 05:02:40.560 --> 05:02:45.440 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: or essentially not follow, ratified international treaties and agreements? asr-004508 05:02:54.280 --> 05:03:07.680 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, the SBMA confirms the importation of scrapped mixed metals, computer accessories, used meter, used electronics, and scrapped copper. asr-004509 05:03:08.160 --> 05:03:14.100 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: However, these importations, as per the SBMA, adhere to international treaties. asr-004510 05:03:15.180 --> 05:03:15.640 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Madam Speaker. asr-004511 05:03:16.300 --> 05:03:22.640 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, ano pong reaction ng SBMA na... asr-004512 05:03:22.640 --> 05:03:31.260 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na under the Convention, and even under the implementing DNR Department Order, asr-004513 05:03:31.260 --> 05:03:42.400 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: wala naman pong pagbubukod ng e-waste, na ito po ay separate or hindi considered as hazardous wastes. asr-004514 05:03:42.760 --> 05:03:51.640 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Hazardous wastes po siya na nililimitahan yung import-export regulation trade po nito ng Basel Convention, asr-004515 05:03:51.640 --> 05:03:52.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: which... asr-004516 05:03:52.180 --> 05:04:02.680 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: which explicitly provides, hindi po pwedeng magkaroon ng export from a non-party to a state party. asr-004517 05:04:10.440 --> 05:04:11.030 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: ... asr-004518 05:04:21.080 --> 05:04:21.920 Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: What does the asr-004519 05:04:21.920 --> 05:04:22.540 Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: sponsor say? asr-004520 05:04:28.120 --> 05:04:31.220 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Madam Speaker, Distinguished Colleague, asr-004521 05:04:32.320 --> 05:04:41.940 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: SBMA still confirms that all importations of scrapped mixed metals are not hazardous. asr-004522 05:04:41.940 --> 05:04:44.120 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: These are... asr-004523 05:04:44.120 --> 05:04:50.720 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: These all adhere to all environmental regulations. asr-004524 05:04:52.140 --> 05:05:06.120 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, the Basel Action Network, which maintains and checks the compliance of states with the Basel Convention, asr-004525 05:05:06.120 --> 05:05:18.100 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: found in its field investigations in both the U.S. and the Philippines, that these containers that arrived at the Subic Port from the United States, asr-004526 05:05:18.440 --> 05:05:22.120 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: both contain hazardous electronic waste, classified as... asr-004527 05:05:22.140 --> 05:05:28.040 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: A-1181, and e-waste, requiring special consideration or Code 949. asr-004528 05:05:28.760 --> 05:05:34.900 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: These are Basel waste listings, illegal to be imported into the Philippines from the U.S. asr-004529 05:05:35.320 --> 05:05:38.740 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: due to the fact, again, that the U.S. is a non-party to the Convention. asr-004530 05:05:38.740 --> 05:05:50.580 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, what is the explanation behind the assertion that there is following of international treaty, asr-004531 05:05:51.020 --> 05:05:51.740 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: given the... asr-004532 05:05:52.140 --> 05:05:55.140 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: the citation of this representation right now? asr-004533 05:05:57.560 --> 05:05:59.600 Rep. Bella Vanessa B.

Suansing: supporting documents that say that these materials are not hazardous, asr-004536 05:06:15.180 --> 05:06:20.600 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: just to establish that it also complies with all environmental compliances, asr-004537 05:06:20.960 --> 05:06:22.120 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: as well as international. asr-004538 05:06:22.140 --> 05:06:25.720 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, we will welcome these submissions. asr-004539 05:06:26.620 --> 05:06:30.720 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: But I'd like an explanation on the floor right now. asr-004540 05:06:31.480 --> 05:06:37.900 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ano po yung basihan kung bakit nasasabi, kahit succinctly po, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, asr-004541 05:06:38.480 --> 05:06:41.500 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: bakit po hindi iligal yung kalakala na ito? asr-004542 05:06:41.940 --> 05:06:44.720 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Ano ang basihan kung bakit hindi po iligal ito? asr-004543 05:06:45.020 --> 05:06:50.960 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: We have heard the RTC ruling, which says nga po na separate customs territory ang SBMA. asr-004544 05:06:51.060 --> 05:06:51.960 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: But I believe... asr-004545 05:06:52.140 --> 05:06:53.320 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, asr-004546 05:06:53.380 --> 05:06:56.940 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: that doesn't mean that they are exempted from the Basel Convention, asr-004547 05:06:56.940 --> 05:07:00.100 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: the DNR Department Order implementing it, asr-004548 05:07:00.480 --> 05:07:06.020 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and even other prevailing international laws and domestic regulations. asr-004549 05:07:06.640 --> 05:07:09.500 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, Madam Speaker, we will look forward to that. asr-004550 05:07:09.700 --> 05:07:12.360 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: But ano po on the floor, succinctly, ang rason? asr-004551 05:07:13.020 --> 05:07:16.140 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Madam Speaker, just for the record also, asr-004552 05:07:16.680 --> 05:07:20.740 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: it's because the materials are not hazardous waste. asr-004553 05:07:20.740 --> 05:07:21.740 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, if I may... asr-004554 05:07:22.140 --> 05:07:23.620 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Again, repeat. asr-004555 05:07:24.340 --> 05:07:29.920 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: These importations are scrap mixed metals, computer accessories, asr-004556 05:07:30.780 --> 05:07:35.440 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: used meters, used electronics, and scrap copper, which are not hazardous. asr-004557 05:07:36.140 --> 05:07:41.920 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: So, SBMA reiterates that these are not hazardous waste. asr-004558 05:07:42.080 --> 05:07:47.520 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: And so, the importation of such materials are not violated, asr-004559 05:07:47.520 --> 05:07:51.460 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: or doesn't violate international treaties and the Basel Convention as well. asr-004560 05:07:52.140 --> 05:08:01.080 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Under what legal basis can the SBMA provide now to say that they are not hazardous waste? asr-004561 05:08:01.080 --> 05:08:03.360 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Is this internal assessment? asr-004562 05:08:03.760 --> 05:08:13.980 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Is this a different citation which they can state where it is classified differently asr-004563 05:08:13.980 --> 05:08:22.120 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: because the prevailing rules as of now lists the containers as hazardous electronic wastes and e-waste, asr-004564 05:08:22.140 --> 05:08:23.780 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: is requiring special consideration? asr-004565 05:08:32.180 --> 05:08:43.440 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, as for the SBMA, these materials are all inspected from importation. asr-004566 05:08:44.160 --> 05:08:46.020 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Inspected by whom, Madam Speaker? Good sponsor. asr-004567 05:08:46.940 --> 05:08:47.500 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Sorry. asr-004568 05:08:47.780 --> 05:08:48.720 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Inspected by whom? asr-004569 05:08:49.540 --> 05:08:50.920 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: By the SBMA, Madam Speaker. asr-004570 05:08:51.260 --> 05:08:51.980 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Is the... asr-004571 05:08:51.980 --> 05:08:55.920 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: The Bureau of Customs and DNR involved in the inspections, Madam Speaker. Good sponsor. asr-004572 05:08:56.360 --> 05:08:57.060 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Madam Speaker. asr-004573 05:08:57.740 --> 05:08:58.840 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor. asr-004574 05:08:58.840 --> 05:09:10.080 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: For now, there is no legal basis that has been cited other than the assurance that SBMA inspected them. asr-004575 05:09:10.820 --> 05:09:14.740 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, given the limited time that I have, asr-004576 05:09:15.200 --> 05:09:21.840 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: let it be stated on the record that to the question and to the... asr-004577 05:09:21.980 --> 05:09:26.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: legal basis that this representation cited, there has been no counter-legal basis provided. asr-004578 05:09:27.000 --> 05:09:35.700 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, my next line of question would be regarding the position of SBMA asr-004579 05:09:35.700 --> 05:09:44.380 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: in relation to a Committee on Ecology meeting I had the opportunity to attend on March 11, 2026, asr-004580 05:09:44.840 --> 05:09:51.380 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: where our topic is hazardous waste management and strengthening the Environmental Management Bureau. asr-004581 05:09:51.380 --> 05:10:01.420 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: We talked about the possible amendment of the Toxic and Hazardous Wastes Act present and prevailing in our jurisprudence now. asr-004582 05:10:02.140 --> 05:10:12.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: SBMA was in attendance and it gave the position that they are pushing for the designation of free trade zones such as SUBIC asr-004583 05:10:12.180 --> 05:10:15.600 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: to become Basel Convention Free Zones. asr-004584 05:10:16.640 --> 05:10:21.220 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, ano pong ibig sabihin ng SBMA nung sinabi niya na gustong maging Basel Convention Free Zone asr-004587 05:10:22.660 --> 05:10:24.060 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang Subic Freeport? asr-004588 05:10:25.900 --> 05:10:32.660 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And is the agency asking for an exception from international treaties and our local environmental laws? asr-004589 05:10:43.140 --> 05:10:51.360 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Madam Speaker, distinguished colleague, the reason cited by the SBMA is some locators would want to asr-004591 05:10:51.400 --> 05:11:06.900 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: expand their operations to include imports from the United States, and because the United States is not a signatory of the Basel Convention, that is the basis for the statement of the SBMA. asr-004592 05:11:06.900 --> 05:11:51.300 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, I think desiring trade with the United States is not a heavy enough justification to look for an exception from a prevailing international treaty that seeks to protect the Philippines from the transboundary waste trade disproportionately affecting Southeast Asian countries, to the point that there has to be a call from Southeast Asian countries that [unclear] not the asr-004593 05:11:51.300 --> 05:12:21.800 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: dumping ground or trash can of developed countries. But at the end of the day, it will remove us from protections already in place, not just in discussion with the US but also with other countries that may seek to do trade. asr-004594 05:12:21.800 --> 05:12:30.100 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Madam Speaker, good sponsor, we will ask instead for a written explanation for that comment given in the March 11, 2026 hearing. asr-004595 05:12:30.700 --> 05:12:38.000 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: My next question, Madam Speaker, good sponsor, magkano po ba ang kinikita ng SBMA mula sa kalakalan ng recyclable waste? asr-004596 05:12:41.060 --> 05:12:45.120 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: How much, I assume, of course, may kita ang ating mga locators dyan. asr-004597 05:12:45.400 --> 05:12:48.440 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: How much of it goes to SBMA, Madam Speaker, good sponsor? asr-004598 05:13:19.300 --> 05:13:42.320 Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: [unclear] If the distinguished colleague will be willing to allow our distinguished sponsor and the SBMA family to submit a written report. asr-004600 05:13:50.700 --> 05:14:04.200 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Okay, for payments of recyclers, as per SBMA data, it's around 200, sorry, 205 million pesos, Madam Speaker. asr-004601 05:14:05.300 --> 05:14:10.540 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: 205,864,939 pesos for 2025. asr-004602 05:14:12.780 --> 05:14:20.640 Rep. Renee Louise M.

Co: As well as details on how much private recycling facilities yield in profit, alongside how much that would go to SBMA. asr-004605 05:14:32.700 --> 05:14:35.520 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: My next question would be in relation to its budget. asr-004606 05:14:36.260 --> 05:14:45.980 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: SBMA's proposed 500 million subsidy is for ecozone infrastructure, but the NEP also records 1 billion in unreleased 2025 appropriations. asr-004607 05:14:46.560 --> 05:14:50.040 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Has that amount now been released, Madam Speaker? We'd like to seek a clarification. asr-004608 05:14:50.040 --> 05:14:53.560 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Which brought, maybe that, Madam Speaker? asr-004609 05:15:00.000 --> 05:15:07.500 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: It hasn't been released yet, Madam Speaker. asr-004610 05:15:07.840 --> 05:15:10.460 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: It has not yet been released, Madam Speaker. asr-004611 05:15:10.660 --> 05:15:18.820 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: We also just ask to submit by report which projects are affected because of its non-release yet asr-004612 05:15:18.820 --> 05:15:24.080 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and what must be resolved before they can proceed, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor. asr-004613 05:15:24.280 --> 05:15:25.380 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: As we will comply, Madam Speaker. asr-004614 05:15:25.380 --> 05:15:32.400 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: My next question would be in relation to the joint efforts of the BOC, the DENREMB, and SBMA, asr-004615 05:15:32.900 --> 05:15:34.940 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: as stated and referenced earlier. asr-004616 05:15:35.080 --> 05:15:39.940 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: We saw that in July 1 of this year, they publicly posted that they conducted a joint inspection asr-004617 05:15:39.940 --> 05:15:42.760 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: on several recycling locators in Subic. asr-004618 05:15:43.100 --> 05:15:47.840 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Can this representation be furnished with a copy of this report, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor? asr-004619 05:15:48.140 --> 05:15:49.380 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, we will comply, Madam Speaker. asr-004620 05:15:50.980 --> 05:15:54.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor, if ma, masama po sana, asr-004621 05:15:54.640 --> 05:15:54.940 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ilan ang... asr-004622 05:15:55.380 --> 05:15:59.840 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: di lang ng mga nag-ooperate ng mga recycling locators doon asr-004623 05:15:59.840 --> 05:16:07.180 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: because when we asked DENREMB yesterday, wala raw po silang data on the recycling facilities in Subic. asr-004624 05:16:07.540 --> 05:16:13.860 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And so, the appropriate agency to ask would be the one... asr-004625 05:16:13.860 --> 05:16:15.640 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: SBMA, Madam Speaker, Good Sponsor. asr-004626 05:16:15.800 --> 05:16:16.580 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Madam Speaker. asr-004627 05:16:16.860 --> 05:16:23.120 Rep. Bella Vanessa B.

Co: And my last line of questioning, Madam Speaker, this would be in relation to the public pronouncements of SBMA asr-004634 05:16:36.420 --> 05:16:37.980 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: in relation to Paxilica. asr-004635 05:16:37.980 --> 05:16:48.520 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: We have seen that sa pinirmahan na MOU ng SBMA at BCDA, may pagbubukas na gagamitin ng Subic Bayport asr-004636 05:16:48.520 --> 05:16:52.160 Rep. Renee Louise M.

Co: Maari po bang malaman ang extent nito? asr-004638 05:17:03.930 --> 05:17:09.000 Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I believe that was the last question of our distinguished colleague. asr-004639 05:17:10.400 --> 05:17:17.600 Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: And after the sponsor response, may we request our distinguished colleague from Kabataan Party List to wrap up. asr-004640 05:17:17.720 --> 05:17:19.840 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Yes, Madam Speaker, it will be my last question. asr-004641 05:17:19.840 --> 05:17:24.840 Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: I just like to note that according to the press release, the port will serve DAO. asr-004642 05:17:25.380 --> 05:17:29.400 Rep. Renee Louise M.

Suansing: So it's just restricted to the use of Port of Subic, the limited use of Port of Subic for the maritime logistics requirements of the proposed project. asr-004650 05:17:54.260 --> 05:17:55.360 Rep.

Tinio: ma-rehabilitate kung sakaling ma-damage asr-005164 05:44:40.080 --> 05:44:41.360 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang mga pasilidad na to? asr-005165 05:44:42.640 --> 05:44:43.900 Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: With the indulgence of our asr-005166 05:44:43.900 --> 05:44:45.580 Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: distinguished colleague, please wrap up. asr-005167 05:44:46.740 --> 05:44:48.020 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yes, Madam Speaker, I still asr-005168 05:44:48.020 --> 05:44:48.480 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: have time. asr-005169 05:44:49.900 --> 05:44:51.980 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Well, we have to quantify that asr-005170 05:44:51.980 --> 05:44:52.800 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: given na may asr-005171 05:44:52.800 --> 05:44:56.160 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: rebuilding of facilities asr-005172 05:44:56.160 --> 05:44:57.960 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: and what not, but definitely asr-005173 05:44:57.960 --> 05:44:58.940 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: a big... asr-005174 05:44:58.940 --> 05:45:00.860 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: It would be a big cost. asr-005175 05:45:00.960 --> 05:45:06.680 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, definitely, dapat pag-isipan kung paano didipensahan nito. Tama po ba? asr-005176 05:45:07.200 --> 05:45:07.940 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Yes, Madam Speaker. asr-005177 05:45:08.080 --> 05:45:17.940 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At sa ngayon, meron na po bang plano ang SBMA? Kaugnay niyan? Paano didipensahan ang mga ito? asr-005178 05:45:22.300 --> 05:45:27.580 Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing: Well, in terms of defense strategy po, the SBMA defers to the Department of National Defense. asr-005179 05:45:27.580 --> 05:45:32.580 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Well, Madam Speaker, siguro yun lang po ang pinakapunto natin dito. asr-005180 05:45:34.660 --> 05:45:45.580 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang SBMA, ang BCDA, at ang Malacanang mismo ay talagang pinipresenta ang sarili dito sa Paxilica Initiative. asr-005181 05:45:46.840 --> 05:45:54.580 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kanina narinig natin sa BCDA, nag-offer na, dalawang taon libre, walang renta sa lupa, 1,600 hectares. asr-005182 05:45:55.900 --> 05:45:57.040 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tinanggap na ng US. asr-005183 05:45:57.580 --> 05:46:01.120 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Samantalang wala pa namang anumang konkretong commitment ng US. asr-005184 05:46:02.180 --> 05:46:02.400 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Di ba? asr-005185 05:46:03.220 --> 05:46:09.780 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: We accept. Pero kami, wala. Nothing. Wala naman. Puro laway pa lang. asr-005186 05:46:11.160 --> 05:46:14.200 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, ganun po ka-atat na atat. asr-005187 05:46:14.940 --> 05:46:26.460 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang ating, ang administrasyong ito, at ang SBMA, aminado sila na napakalaki ng presensya ng US military asr-005188 05:46:26.460 --> 05:46:27.460 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: sa napakahalagang asr-005189 05:46:27.580 --> 05:46:32.700 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: economic infrastructure na ito. asr-005190 05:46:33.560 --> 05:46:37.540 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At ang sinasabi po natin, hindi na po hypothetical. asr-005191 05:46:38.340 --> 05:46:45.600 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kung sakaling magkaroon ng gera sa pagitan ng US at China, at ito ang pinag-ahandaan ng US, asr-005192 05:46:46.720 --> 05:46:50.820 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: kaya nga sila nagpapalaki ng presensya dyan sa Subic, asr-005193 05:46:52.020 --> 05:46:55.820 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay may epekto po yan sa SBMA. asr-005195 05:46:56.500 --> 05:46:57.020 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No? asr-005196 05:46:57.020 --> 05:46:58.680 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kayo po ang, ay mawawasak. asr-005197 05:46:59.800 --> 05:47:08.200 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi na po hypothetical yun dahil ganun ang nangyari sa mga bansa sa Gulf. asr-005198 05:47:08.500 --> 05:47:08.620 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No? asr-005199 05:47:08.720 --> 05:47:10.220 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: In the so-called Gulf states. asr-005200 05:47:10.540 --> 05:47:12.720 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, and so on. asr-005201 05:47:13.400 --> 05:47:13.500 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No? asr-005202 05:47:13.860 --> 05:47:19.740 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang mga yun may sariling kakayahan na depensa ng sarili and yet di kinaya. asr-005203 05:47:20.320 --> 05:47:20.840 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nawasak. asr-005204 05:47:20.940 --> 05:47:21.040 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Di ba? asr-005205 05:47:21.120 --> 05:47:22.540 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Katulad nung nakita natin kanina. asr-005206 05:47:22.700 --> 05:47:24.000 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Paano pa kaya ang Pilipinas? asr-005207 05:47:24.000 --> 05:47:26.000 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, I understand. asr-005208 05:47:26.000 --> 05:47:31.800 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: I understand this is a policy question that goes beyond the SBMA. asr-005209 05:47:31.900 --> 05:47:33.220 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: National issue na po ito. asr-005210 05:47:33.880 --> 05:47:42.380 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero ang punto po natin ay tumataya ang Marcos Jr. Administration sa Paxilica na ito. asr-005211 05:47:42.520 --> 05:47:45.460 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sabi, the whole Luzon Economic Corridor. asr-005212 05:47:45.860 --> 05:47:54.320 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, not just Subic, but also Clark, pati yung sa Batangas, at iba pa na involved sa corridor na yan. asr-005213 05:47:54.320 --> 05:47:54.960 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Bataan. asr-005214 05:47:54.960 --> 05:47:57.420 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nakikita ko ang kasamahan natin from Bataan. asr-005215 05:47:58.920 --> 05:48:00.240 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Damay po kayo dyan. asr-005216 05:48:00.340 --> 05:48:01.580 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Damay tayong lahat dyan. asr-005217 05:48:02.800 --> 05:48:11.280 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And if ever matuloy yung gera na pinag-aandaan ng US laban sa China, asr-005218 05:48:12.000 --> 05:48:16.920 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang nakataya po ay ang malaking bahagi ng ating ekonomiya. asr-005219 05:48:16.920 --> 05:48:24.360 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, kung sakaling mangyari yung nangyari sa Gulf states, asr-005220 05:48:24.960 --> 05:48:29.260 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay babalik po tayo sa parang, in effect, parang pinatubo. asr-005221 05:48:29.960 --> 05:48:37.680 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kung ano yung nangyari sa Subic at Clark nung panahon ng pinatubo. asr-005222 05:48:37.900 --> 05:48:38.460 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: O, ganun na po. asr-005223 05:48:38.540 --> 05:48:40.200 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sagutin ko na sa inyo, anong mangyari dyan? asr-005224 05:48:40.320 --> 05:48:41.180 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Parang pinatubo. asr-005225 05:48:42.120 --> 05:48:46.580 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, that would set us back by practically two generations. asr-005226 05:48:47.000 --> 05:48:48.800 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kung sakaling mangyari po yun. asr-005227 05:48:48.800 --> 05:48:54.800 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, the point here, Madam Speaker, is really to question, asr-005228 05:48:54.960 --> 05:49:04.140 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the wisdom of this administration in betting on the so-called Pax Silitka asr-005229 05:49:04.140 --> 05:49:10.940 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: na ang bantapo ay sa pinaka-siguridad ng buhay ng mga Pilipino asr-005230 05:49:10.940 --> 05:49:17.740 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at sa ekonomiya mismo at pag-unlad ng Pilipinas. asr-005231 05:49:17.740 --> 05:49:24.780 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nang walang anumang pag-iisip at pag-aanda para sa depensa. asr-005232 05:49:25.120 --> 05:49:25.380 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Di ba? asr-005233 05:49:26.080 --> 05:49:31.140 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya po, with that, Madam Speaker, tatapusin ko na po ang aking interpellation. asr-005234 05:49:31.260 --> 05:49:32.120 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Maraming salamat po. asr-005235 05:49:32.460 --> 05:49:33.620 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No to Pax Silica asr-005236 05:49:34.780 --> 05:49:37.660 Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Do we hear the motion to terminate? asr-005237 05:49:39.980 --> 05:49:42.020 Rep. Arnan C.

Tinio: Well, ang main question po natin sa budget ng DOST. asr-005275 05:52:38.620 --> 05:52:45.040 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Una po, ito po yung budget ng DOST over a 10-year period, asr-005276 05:52:45.040 --> 05:52:48.240 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: including the proposed budget for 2027. asr-005277 05:52:51.020 --> 05:52:52.380 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Napansin po natin, asr-005278 05:52:52.380 --> 05:52:55.180 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ang tinakamalaking bahagi ng budget. asr-005279 05:52:55.360 --> 05:52:56.060 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, for example, asr-005280 05:52:57.700 --> 05:53:02.380 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the current proposed budget... asr-005281 05:53:22.380 --> 05:53:35.500 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay, the proposed budget for 2027 of the DOST is 6.868 Trillion Pesos. asr-005282 05:53:37.160 --> 05:53:39.640 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang napansin lang po natin, of that, asr-005283 05:53:41.340 --> 05:53:44.900 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: if you look at the breakdown of that budget, asr-005284 05:53:46.480 --> 05:53:51.200 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: most of it is in the form of asr-005285 05:53:51.200 --> 05:53:57.280 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: financial assistance and subsidy. asr-005286 05:53:57.280 --> 05:54:02.060 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Of the 6.8 billion, asr-005287 05:54:02.920 --> 05:54:09.620 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: 4.687 billion is listed under financial assistance or subsidy. asr-005288 05:54:12.160 --> 05:54:17.020 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, yung chart po na yan, asr-005289 05:54:17.460 --> 05:54:20.060 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: pinapakita yung paglaki asr-005290 05:54:20.060 --> 05:54:21.180 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng DOST. asr-005291 05:54:21.200 --> 05:54:24.320 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang budget, pero ang kalakhang bahagi talaga, asr-005292 05:54:24.440 --> 05:54:25.200 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the blue portion, asr-005293 05:54:26.360 --> 05:54:28.660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: is financial assistance and subsidy. asr-005294 05:54:29.520 --> 05:54:32.700 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Then, I look at the special provisions. asr-005295 05:54:32.980 --> 05:54:36.000 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Usually, pagka may financial assistance and subsidy, asr-005296 05:54:36.160 --> 05:54:38.260 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: there should be a special provision asr-005297 05:54:38.260 --> 05:54:45.760 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: that lays down the parameters asr-005298 05:54:45.760 --> 05:54:48.700 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: on the use of financial assistance and subsidy. asr-005299 05:54:48.700 --> 05:54:49.980 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero wala po tayong nakikita. asr-005300 05:54:49.980 --> 05:54:56.980 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Sa special provisions ng DOST budget ay, asr-005301 05:54:56.980 --> 05:55:00.980 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: well, there is mention of a priority research program asr-005302 05:55:00.980 --> 05:55:02.980 Rep. Antonio L.

Tinio: at meron kang sariling large language. asr-005449 06:05:23.340 --> 06:05:25.180 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Large language models na gagamitin. asr-005450 06:05:25.820 --> 06:05:26.020 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. asr-005451 06:05:26.960 --> 06:05:30.800 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Now, let me go to Paxilica again. asr-005452 06:05:31.660 --> 06:05:35.760 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Alam natin, as far as we know, hindi directly involved ang DOST dyan. asr-005453 06:05:35.860 --> 06:05:36.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tama po ba? asr-005454 06:05:36.840 --> 06:05:38.400 Rep. Amben S. Amante: Tama po, Madam Speaker. asr-005455 06:05:38.680 --> 06:05:47.220 Rep. Antonio L.

Antonio L. Tinio: No? asr-005458 06:05:50.100 --> 06:05:53.020 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung AI, advanced AI manufacturing. asr-005459 06:05:53.340 --> 06:06:03.480 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: And securing the critical mineral supply chain in order to develop AI. asr-005460 06:06:04.580 --> 06:06:10.320 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ibig nila sabihin, yung mga critical minerals to develop the semiconductors, asr-005461 06:06:10.880 --> 06:06:16.800 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the advanced GPUs, to be able to run, to develop and run asr-005462 06:06:16.800 --> 06:06:22.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the most advanced artificial intelligence models. asr-005463 06:06:22.340 --> 06:06:23.020 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Models. asr-005464 06:06:23.580 --> 06:06:23.800 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. asr-005465 06:06:23.940 --> 06:06:30.500 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Dahil ang paniniwala ng US, kung sino ang may pinaka-advancing AI, asr-005466 06:06:31.360 --> 06:06:37.520 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: siya ay magkakaroon ng bentahe economically and militarily. asr-005467 06:06:38.640 --> 06:06:42.440 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, kaya nagtutunggalian po ang US at China dito. asr-005468 06:06:42.440 --> 06:06:51.800 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: At ang ginagawa ng US ay pinagkakaitila sa China yung mga pinaka-advanced na AI chips. asr-005469 06:06:52.200 --> 06:06:52.320 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Diba? asr-005470 06:06:52.340 --> 06:07:01.260 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, these are the export controls imposed by the US on advanced GPUs to China. asr-005471 06:07:02.180 --> 06:07:10.080 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ang ganti naman ng China ay pinagkakait nila sa US yung rare earth minerals na kailangan para ma-produce yun. asr-005472 06:07:10.400 --> 06:07:11.580 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, nandyan po tayo ngayon. asr-005473 06:07:11.720 --> 06:07:12.720 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kaya may Paxilica. asr-005474 06:07:13.400 --> 06:07:13.660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. asr-005475 06:07:13.940 --> 06:07:15.520 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Why do I mention Paxilica? asr-005476 06:07:15.520 --> 06:07:19.260 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Because I would like to place on the record, asr-005477 06:07:19.780 --> 06:07:21.020 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ah, asr-005478 06:07:21.540 --> 06:07:22.320 Rep. Antonio L.

Tinio: Jacob Helberg. asr-005481 06:07:30.900 --> 06:07:33.520 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ayan, ilang beses siya nababanggit kanina pa, asr-005482 06:07:34.200 --> 06:07:37.140 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: dahil siya yung pangunahing arkitekto ng Paxilica, asr-005483 06:07:37.780 --> 06:07:45.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: at siya mismo yung pumunta dito sa Pilipinas para nga ma-inaugurate yung Paxilica sa New Clark City, asr-005484 06:07:45.340 --> 06:07:52.340 Rep. Antonio L.

Tinio: sila yung nagpipirmahan. asr-005486 06:07:54.340 --> 06:07:56.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ito, Jacob Helberg. asr-005487 06:07:56.340 --> 06:08:02.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay, what does he have to say particularly about AI sovereignty or digital sovereignty? asr-005488 06:08:02.340 --> 06:08:13.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Meron po siyang speech published by the US State Department available on their website. asr-005489 06:08:13.340 --> 06:08:19.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Hindi ko alam kung may visual tayo dyan, pero it's not really necessary, I can just read it. asr-005490 06:08:19.340 --> 06:08:21.340 Rep. Antonio L.

Tinio: Ganito po, let me read into the record the words of the main architect of Paxilica. asr-005494 06:08:39.340 --> 06:08:48.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Para alam po ng lahat ano ba ang pag-iisip talaga nung nagtutulak ng Paxilica na niyayakap ng Marcos Jr. Administration. asr-005495 06:08:48.340 --> 06:08:50.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: These days, asr-005496 06:08:50.340 --> 06:08:55.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: few words flatter a government like digital sovereignty. asr-005497 06:08:55.340 --> 06:09:00.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: It carries the music of independence, the dignity of self-rule, asr-005498 06:09:00.340 --> 06:09:04.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the promise that the nation holds its own destiny in its hands. asr-005499 06:09:04.340 --> 06:09:14.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So it is no surprise that the expression has been pressed into the service of a fashionable, fast-spreading policy debate. asr-005500 06:09:14.340 --> 06:09:15.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: No? asr-005501 06:09:15.340 --> 06:09:18.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: It is a growing number of governments, asr-005502 06:09:18.340 --> 06:09:24.340 Rep. Antonio L.

Tinio: Yun po ang ginagawa ng DOST. asr-005506 06:09:38.340 --> 06:09:42.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: They are building a domestic AI stack. asr-005507 06:09:42.340 --> 06:09:43.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Di ba? asr-005508 06:09:43.340 --> 06:09:45.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yung mga data center, asr-005509 06:09:45.340 --> 06:09:46.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung equipment, asr-005510 06:09:46.340 --> 06:09:47.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung hardware, asr-005511 06:09:47.340 --> 06:09:48.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: and also the software, asr-005512 06:09:48.340 --> 06:09:50.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the large language models, asr-005513 06:09:50.340 --> 06:09:51.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: open source. asr-005514 06:09:51.340 --> 06:09:54.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ito yung tinutukoy ni Helberg. asr-005515 06:09:54.340 --> 06:09:55.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: O. asr-005516 06:09:55.340 --> 06:09:57.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kayong mga ibang bansa, asr-005517 06:09:57.340 --> 06:10:01.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: you are scrambling to develop your own, asr-005518 06:10:01.340 --> 06:10:03.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: within your own borders, asr-005519 06:10:03.340 --> 06:10:05.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: your own AI stack. asr-005520 06:10:05.340 --> 06:10:07.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: What does he have to say about it? asr-005521 06:10:07.340 --> 06:10:08.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Quote, asr-005522 06:10:08.340 --> 06:10:10.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: It is a seductive vision. asr-005523 06:10:10.340 --> 06:10:12.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: It is a seductive vision. asr-005524 06:10:12.340 --> 06:10:16.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: It is also backward and counterproductive. asr-005525 06:10:16.340 --> 06:10:19.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Yun ang sabi ni Helberg. asr-005526 06:10:19.340 --> 06:10:21.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, asr-005527 06:10:21.340 --> 06:10:23.340 Rep. Antonio L.

Tinio: They will applaud one another's independence. asr-005540 06:10:47.340 --> 06:10:49.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Then they will go home asr-005541 06:10:49.340 --> 06:10:51.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: and pour billions asr-005542 06:10:51.340 --> 06:10:53.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: into companies built to do asr-005543 06:10:53.340 --> 06:10:57.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: precisely what 39 others are doing asr-005544 06:10:57.340 --> 06:10:59.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: in markets too small asr-005545 06:10:59.340 --> 06:11:02.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: to sustain even one of them. asr-005546 06:11:02.340 --> 06:11:07.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Chasing margins that thin asymptotically toward nothing asr-005547 06:11:07.340 --> 06:11:10.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the moment the next champion is announced. asr-005548 06:11:10.340 --> 06:11:13.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: They will have achieved not so-called asr-005549 06:11:13.340 --> 06:11:15.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: digital sovereignty asr-005550 06:11:15.340 --> 06:11:19.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: but a kind of synchronized mediocrity asr-005551 06:11:19.340 --> 06:11:22.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: as planet of sub-scale clones asr-005552 06:11:22.340 --> 06:11:26.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: each heroically reconstructing last year's breakthrough asr-005553 06:11:26.340 --> 06:11:30.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: while the breakthrough itself moves on without them. asr-005554 06:11:30.340 --> 06:11:32.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So, pinagtatawanan po ni Helberg asr-005555 06:11:32.340 --> 06:11:34.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: yung ginagawa ng DOST. asr-005556 06:11:34.340 --> 06:11:35.340 Rep. Antonio L.

Tinio: he's laughing at digital sovereignty asr-005575 06:11:58.340 --> 06:12:00.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: and then he says, asr-005576 06:12:00.340 --> 06:12:02.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: while others rebuild the present, asr-005577 06:12:02.340 --> 06:12:04.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: American firms asr-005578 06:12:04.340 --> 06:12:07.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: will be inventing the future. asr-005579 06:12:07.340 --> 06:12:09.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Oh. asr-005580 06:12:09.340 --> 06:12:11.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: They will not be defending yesterday's platform. asr-005581 06:12:11.340 --> 06:12:16.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: They will be shipping tomorrow's. asr-005582 06:12:16.340 --> 06:12:17.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ah, asr-005583 06:12:17.340 --> 06:12:18.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the products that do not yet exist asr-005584 06:12:18.340 --> 06:12:20.340 Rep. Antonio L.

Tinio: has thought to subsidize asr-005587 06:12:23.340 --> 06:12:25.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: that will define the coming decade asr-005588 06:12:25.340 --> 06:12:28.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: before the clones have finished cloning asr-005589 06:12:28.340 --> 06:12:30.340 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: the last one. asr-005590 06:12:30.340 --> 06:12:33.340 Rep. Antonio L.
