Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: before we proceed with the actual deliberations.

128
00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:08,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, po. Senior Deputy

129
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Speaker Ferdinand Hernandez.

130
00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:12,240
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: I think it's important to

131
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,060
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: clarify

132
00:09:14,060 --> 00:09:16,140
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: the difference between

133
00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:18,160
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: this year and last year's

134
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,340
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: BARSC.

135
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:21,560
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Unlike last year,

136
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,240
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: we already have a ready source of

137
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,260
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: 250 billion taken from the flood control.

138
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,160
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: This year,

139
00:09:29,780 --> 00:09:32,140
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: the fiscal space is very

140
00:09:32,140 --> 00:09:34,100
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: limited. In other words, we have to

141
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:36,260
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: look for the source to be able

142
00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:38,060
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: to accommodate all the

143
00:09:38,060 --> 00:09:40,140
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: requests of the different departments.

144
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,220
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So, ang dami nilang requests,

145
00:09:42,860 --> 00:09:44,280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: napakaliit nung

146
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,140
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: source natin. Then we have to look

147
00:09:48,140 --> 00:09:50,120
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: at the different, again, review all the

148
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,640
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: different departments.

149
00:09:52,260 --> 00:09:54,040
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Hahanapin natin yung slow moving,

150
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,060
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: yung absorptive capacity,

151
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,400
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: yung low utilization.

152
00:09:59,200 --> 00:09:59,400
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So,

153
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:02,120
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: it is much harder

154
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,520
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: this year compared

155
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,660

00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, Representative Alan T.

178
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you for highlighting that and thank you for that

179
00:10:52,140 --> 00:10:54,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: manifestation. It is important

180
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to highlight that although

181
00:10:55,620 --> 00:10:56,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: not,

182
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: not all members of

183
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the House can be present

184
00:11:00,340 --> 00:11:02,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the deliberations of the

185
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee,

186
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that is exactly the

187
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: design by which the BARSC

188
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: was created

189
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in which the members

190
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:14,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of the BARSC would serve as their

191
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:15,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: representatives, their representation

192
00:11:15,580 --> 00:11:18,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the advocacies, the individual

193
00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:21,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: recommendations

194
00:11:21,780 --> 00:11:24,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of the members. So, most definitely,

195
00:11:24,380 --> 00:11:26,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we assure our

196
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: colleagues, as mentioned by

197
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Alan T.,

198
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Gabriela Party List

199
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and Akbayan Party List,

200
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that we will take into consideration

201
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the requests,

202
00:11:38,260 --> 00:11:40,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the institutional amendments

203
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that they have recommended

204
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for consideration of the BARSC.

205
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:44,900
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair.

206
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:45,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Brian po?

207
00:11:46,180 --> 00:11:48,080
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, for transparency purposes,

208
00:11:48,380 --> 00:11:50,320
Rep. Brian Poe: gusto ko lang sabihin din na hindi lang

209
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,300
Rep. Brian Poe: yung minority yung nagpadala

210
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:54,160
Rep. Brian Poe: ng pahabol po ng mga requests.

211
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,780
Rep. Brian Poe: Ang mga agencies po,

212
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,400
Rep. Brian Poe: individually, we're calling members of the BARSC

213
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,480
Rep. Brian Poe: to request for last minute

214
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,140
Rep. Brian Poe: kung pwede nila

215
00:12:02,140 --> 00:12:04,060
Rep. Brian Poe: isama sa budget, but these

216
00:12:04,060 --> 00:12:05,480
Rep. Brian Poe: requests had to be vetted.

217
00:12:06,020 --> 00:12:08,180
Rep. Brian Poe: And each request had to have, as you said,

218
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,000
Rep. Brian Poe: the signature of the Secretary.

219
00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:12,020
Rep. Brian Poe: So, kaya

220
00:12:12,020 --> 00:12:13,900
Rep. Brian Poe: it may have taken a bit longer,

221
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,320
Rep. Brian Poe: and I apologize, but I also want to remind

222
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,060
Rep. Brian Poe: everyone here that

223
00:12:18,060 --> 00:12:20,140
Rep. Brian Poe: last year, we started a day late.

224
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,180
Rep. Brian Poe: At least today, we started

225
00:12:22,180 --> 00:12:24,360
Rep. Brian Poe: only a few hours later. So, kahit pa paano,

226
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,140
Rep. Brian Poe: we're moving as quickly as we can.

227
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, po.

228
00:12:28,740 --> 00:12:30,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think it's important to highlight

229
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the manifestations of SDS

230
00:12:32,020 --> 00:12:34,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Hernandez and

231
00:12:34,060 --> 00:12:35,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Brian po.

232
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There are so many requests

233
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: emanating from the agencies, even

234
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: though we set a deadline of

235
00:12:41,940 --> 00:12:44,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: on the part of Committee on Appropriations,

236
00:12:44,580 --> 00:12:45,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we set a deadline of, I think,

237
00:12:46,340 --> 00:12:48,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: three weeks ago. And then

238
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for some of the agencies, right

239
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: after their plenary deliberations,

240
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nung nabalitaan po, when we

241
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: made the announcement yesterday,

242
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that the BARSC will convene today.

243
00:12:58,980 --> 00:13:00,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: As expected po,

244
00:13:00,660 --> 00:13:02,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nagtatawag din po lahat ng mga

245
00:13:02,220 --> 00:13:04,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ahensya. So, even though we already

246
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: had thousands of line items that we

247
00:13:06,260 --> 00:13:08,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: had to scrutinize, may mga

248
00:13:08,260 --> 00:13:10,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pahabol pa rin po. So, thank you

249
00:13:10,340 --> 00:13:12,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po for making that manifestation.

250
00:13:12,460 --> 00:13:14,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And yes po, it's doubly hard

251
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:16,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: on the part of the BARSC now

252
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because of the limited fiscal space.

253
00:13:19,060 --> 00:13:20,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Last year po,

254
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as manifested by SDS

255
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Hernandez, there was

256
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that P255 billion

257
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: peso, essentially

258
00:13:28,260 --> 00:13:30,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: amount that was taken out

259
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from DPWH flood control

260
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: projects that had to be

261
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: reallocated across the different agencies.

262
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, it was clear that

263
00:13:38,340 --> 00:13:40,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: there was that amount

264
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that we could distribute across

265
00:13:42,260 --> 00:13:43,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the agencies. Ngayon po,

266
00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:46,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the BARSC is very cognizant

267
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that over the course of the deliberations,

268
00:13:48,860 --> 00:13:50,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sobrang dami pong mga programa

269
00:13:50,260 --> 00:13:51,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na nabanggit

270
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ng ating mga kasamahan, ng ating

271
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: mga ahensya,

272
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na sobrang kailangan mapondohan

273
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na walang pondo sa NEP

274
00:13:59,860 --> 00:14:01,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: o di kaya hindi sapat yung

275
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pondo sa National Expenditure Program.

276
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Halimbawa po, magbabanggit na po siguro

277
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ako ng ilan, under the

278
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Department of Education, it has been

279
00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:12,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: manifested that the AREL program

280
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: has no budget. It has zero

281
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: budget in the NEP. That is something

282
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that we cannot ignore.

283
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It was also mentioned that

284
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the importance of

285
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the school's security,

286
00:14:24,420 --> 00:14:25,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the funding for school security,

287
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: which was also not there in the NEP,

288
00:14:27,860 --> 00:14:29,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it needs to be funded. Service

289
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: contracting, for example, fuel

290
00:14:31,740 --> 00:14:33,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: transport subsidy,

291
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:36,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and all of these

292
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: very, very important

293
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: programs

294
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that were either not funded

295
00:14:42,220 --> 00:14:43,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: or underfunded in the NEP,

296
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nabanggit po yan over the course

297
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:48,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of our months of deliberation.

298
00:14:48,540 --> 00:14:49,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So sa parte naman po

299
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ng BARSC, narinig po

300
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: namin yun at nakita po namin

301
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na kailangan nating pondohan,

302
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so dahil wala pong

303
00:14:57,100 --> 00:15:00,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: P255 billion, katulad ng last year

304
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na madaling hugutin,

305
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:03,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kailangan po talaga namin suriin

306
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kung papaano po nating mapupondohan

307
00:15:05,860 --> 00:15:07,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ito pong mga programa na ito.

308
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The budget is a zero-sum game.

309
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If you fund one program,

310
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: you have to take from another

311
00:15:13,820 --> 00:15:15,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: program. So that makes the job

00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,620

00:16:21,620 --> 00:16:24,440

00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,400

00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:40,760

00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,420

00:16:42,420 --> 00:16:44,780

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Madam Chair,

354
00:16:46,260 --> 00:16:48,420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that we are continuously

355
00:16:48,420 --> 00:16:50,640

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: your instruction

358
00:16:54,460 --> 00:16:55,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and under the leadership

359
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of the House.

360
00:16:57,700 --> 00:17:00,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, ang dami rin po nilang mga recommendation

361
00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:03,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and a lot of them are very valid.

362
00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:06,160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yung iba po, through the Vice Chairs

363
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of the different agencies,

364
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:10,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yung iba po, dumiretso sa inyo, Madam Chair.

365
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:11,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And aside from that,

366
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung mga LGUs, through their representatives,

367
00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:19,200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and some go directly to you

368
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or to the Committee on Appropriations.

369
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So,

370
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:31,260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Together with the agencies, lahat po ito kinukonsider ng BARSC with very limited fiscal space

371
00:17:31,260 --> 00:17:39,760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para pagkakasya-kasyahin at mabigyan talaga yung pangangailangan na prioridad ng ating national budget.

372
00:17:39,980 --> 00:17:41,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, thank you, Madam Chair.

373
00:17:41,860 --> 00:17:46,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much for that manifestation, SVC Albert Garcia.

374
00:17:46,420 --> 00:17:53,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Si SVC Albert po kasi siya yung nag-head ng delegation ng Committee on Appropriations to the People's Budget Review.

375
00:17:54,280 --> 00:18:01,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, SVC would be the best person to help us and guide us also to make sure that we are deliberating

376
00:18:01,780 --> 00:18:05,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: on the items raised by our civil society organization partners.

377
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:14,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, isa pong mahalagang assurance na maibibigay po ng BARSC sa ating mga partners sa civil society.

378
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:21,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sigurado po na meron po kayong boses sa ating deliberasyon ngayong hapon.

379
00:18:21,420 --> 00:18:28,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Dahil nandito po si SVC Garcia, nandito po ako, yung mga natanggap din po na galing sa inyo.

380
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:37,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nandito din po yung mga vice-chairs ng Committee on Appropriations na directed yung po na nakausap din doon sa People's Budget Review.

381
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, maraming maraming salamat po.

382
00:18:38,620 --> 00:18:39,020
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Madam Chair.

383
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If I may, Kong Brian.

384
00:18:42,860 --> 00:18:44,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May I now recognize minority?

385
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Minority Leader Marcelino Libanan.

386
00:18:46,780 --> 00:18:47,540
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Thank you, Madam Chair.

387
00:18:47,660 --> 00:18:57,680
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Madam Chair, marami sa mga tao natin nagtatanong bakit napakaliit or maliit ang fiscal space natin.

388
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:05,340
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Dahil noong 2026 budget, ang inallocate natin ay 6.78 trillion.

389
00:19:06,020 --> 00:19:08,480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Ngayon, 7.2 trillion.

390
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Lumaki yung pera natin pero parang kinakapos po tayo.

391
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:14,560
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: May 6% increase po tayo.

392
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:20,800
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Kaya kung maari maka-explain tayo kung bakit ganito ang nangyayari sa atin.

393
00:19:29,820 --> 00:19:33,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much po, Mayno.

394
00:19:33,340 --> 00:19:34,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'm just looking through my notes.

395
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'm just looking at all the mandatory appropriations.

396
00:19:38,740 --> 00:19:43,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But on top of my head po, in theory po, tulad po na nabanggit,

397
00:19:43,660 --> 00:19:50,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ni Mayno, tumaas po yung budget natin from 6.8 trillion up to 7.2 trillion pesos.

398
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So in theory, dapat po may 400 billion na kayagdagan na pwede nating ma-allocate.

399
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:01,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kasa lang po, marami pong mga mandatory allocations.

400
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Essentially, the whole 400 million went to these mandatory allocations.

401
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For example po, I don't know if I'll remember everything now,

402
00:20:11,380 --> 00:20:13,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but a huge part of it,

403
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:21,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: went to the increase in salary standardization law,

404
00:20:21,340 --> 00:20:23,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the new tranche of the SSL.

405
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:29,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Mayroon din pong napunta doon po sa increase in subsistence allowance under the MUP.

406
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Mayroon din po sa interest payments.

407
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Mayroon din pong, for example, under DA, there's this new law called ANSEF.

408
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:39,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 20 billion went to that.

409
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's also the increase in national tax allocation.

410
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:46,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think that's malaki po.

411
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And then there's also this new law for the judiciary,

412
00:20:50,580 --> 00:20:52,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the fiscal autonomy law.

413
00:20:52,940 --> 00:20:56,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So essentially, 12 billion went towards that.

414
00:20:56,700 --> 00:21:02,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So ito pong, hindi ko po ma-breakdown yung kabuuan ng 400 billion,

415
00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:04,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kung saan po napunta exactly,

416
00:21:04,860 --> 00:21:09,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pero napunta po yun sa mandatory allocation.

417
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So kung susumahin po natin,

418
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at inuneto natin, wala po tayong increase

419
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: doon po sa talagang programmed appropriations

420
00:21:18,540 --> 00:21:24,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na atin pong pwedeng magalaw o di kaya maikot

421
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:29,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: doon po sa loob ng HGAB or yung House General Appropriations Bill.

422
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes po.

423
00:21:33,220 --> 00:21:34,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Brian po?

424
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,600
Rep. Brian Poe: So siguro po, on that note, Madam Chair,

425
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,800
Rep. Brian Poe: since we're talking about an increased budget to 7 trillion,

426
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,020
Rep. Brian Poe: konting paalala sa mga kasama natin dito sa BARSC,

427
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,780
Rep. Brian Poe: lahat tayo magpapropose ng amendments,

428
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:50,720
Rep. Brian Poe: but all of these amendments, ultimately,

429
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:53,440
Rep. Brian Poe: all this money comes from our taxpayers

430
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,060
Rep. Brian Poe: who this year have struggled so much,

431
00:21:56,780 --> 00:21:58,020
Rep. Brian Poe: yung middle class po natin,

432
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,860
Rep. Brian Poe: ang mga small to medium enterprises,

433
00:22:00,420 --> 00:22:02,560
Rep. Brian Poe: to provide these taxes for our program.

434
00:22:02,740 --> 00:22:06,200
Rep. Brian Poe: So ang priority po natin sana are low-cost

435
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,800
Rep. Brian Poe: but high-impact amendments per agency.

436
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,020
Rep. Brian Poe: So yun lang po.

437
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,260
Rep. Brian Poe: On behalf of the MSMEs and middle class workers,

438
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,280
Rep. Brian Poe: konting paalala, let's try to be as efficient as possible

439
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,960
Rep. Brian Poe: with our amendments, Madam Chair.

440
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:22,720
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Madam Chair.

441
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:24,280

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: From one Brian to another.

448
00:22:38,540 --> 00:22:40,560

449
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,480
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: yung mga agencies na hiling nila for special provisions

450
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,140
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: para nang sa ganun magawan natin ang paraan

451
00:22:48,140 --> 00:22:49,980
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: yung mga kailangan nila

452
00:22:49,980 --> 00:22:51,840
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: para yung project implementation

453
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,060

00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,980

460
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:11,580

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So we're also going to deliberate.

462
00:23:13,180 --> 00:23:16,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Hindi lang po puro numero yung atin pong tatalakayan ngayong araw,

463
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,220

464
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ibig sabihin po, sa mga implementation po

465
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ng mga programa nitong mga nakaraang taon,

466
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:28,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: may mga nakita po na improvement areas pa

467
00:23:28,380 --> 00:23:30,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: o mga dahilan kung bakit nadedelay

468
00:23:30,580 --> 00:23:32,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: o nahihirapan yung implementation

469
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ng isang program or project.

470
00:23:35,140 --> 00:23:37,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So yun po, yung special provision po na kanilang hinihiling

471
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ay para po mas mapaganda pa.

472
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yung implementation ng mga programang yun.

473
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So you'll hear special provisions

474
00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:48,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as well as numbers being discussed today po.

475

476
00:23:51,580 --> 00:23:53,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Deputy Speaker Bambi Emano.

477
00:23:53,180 --> 00:23:56,500
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Earlier, SVC Garcia mentioned local government units.

478
00:23:56,940 --> 00:23:59,780
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: At the proper time, Madam Chair also,

479
00:23:59,940 --> 00:24:02,600
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: I hope that we will be able to help

480
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,500
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: the local government support fund.

481
00:24:04,740 --> 00:24:08,500
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Having been from the local government unit, Madam Chair,

482
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:10,500
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: I saw that barangays were given

483
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,380
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: authority, power to implement projects

484
00:24:13,380 --> 00:24:16,920
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: of their choosing of what their constituents really need.

485
00:24:17,060 --> 00:24:21,160
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Even mayors, governors were given opportunity

486
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,900
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: to implement projects that are also needed

487
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:26,780
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: by their constituents.

488
00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:31,640
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: And hopefully, Madam Chair, later we'll be able to find ways

489
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,580
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: where we'll be able to help and support it

490
00:24:33,580 --> 00:24:35,440
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: because I believe, Madam Chair,

491
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,000
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: that it will actually help not only the local government

492
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,260
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: but the country.

493
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,540
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: As a whole, Madam Chair.

494
00:24:41,940 --> 00:24:42,800

504
00:25:05,940 --> 00:25:09,140

505
00:25:09,140 --> 00:25:10,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because it's going to be a long,

506
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: um, deliberation.

507
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,280

508
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sa kahabaan po noong buong BARSC.

509
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, hopefully, we don't last 20 hours today.

510
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:25,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But, um, yun po kasi yung commitment,

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na ipapakita po natin line by line

516
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:40,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, um,

517
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:41,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: please bear with us po.

518
00:25:41,860 --> 00:25:43,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's going to be a lengthy discussion.

519
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:45,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It might get very tedious at times.

520
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:46,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But, um,

521
00:25:47,020 --> 00:25:50,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: this is consistent with the commitment of the House

522
00:25:50,140 --> 00:25:52,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to make sure that, um,

523
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the crafting of the budget is transparent

524
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and accountable to our countrymen.

525
00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:59,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, um,

526
00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:01,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if there are no other manifestations po,

527
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: will there be any more manifestations

528
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:05,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from the members of the BARSC

529
00:26:05,380 --> 00:26:10,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: before we get into the meat of the discussion po?

535
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to the, to how we did it last year.

536

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's going to be a free-flowing discussion.

545
00:26:50,460 --> 00:26:52,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if we could start with the education cluster,

546
00:26:53,060 --> 00:26:56,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: um, given that it has the highest budgetary,

547

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Um, the first one po would be, um,

563
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: based on the request of the Department of Education,

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Um, alam naman po natin yung nagaganap,

00:27:58,620 --> 00:28:00,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kung meron mang ganun ulit na mga mangyayari

573
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with school shootings and violence

584
00:28:32,420 --> 00:28:34,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: has zero funding in the NEP.

585

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: um, I'll treat it

716
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as a cluster po.

717
00:32:21,260 --> 00:32:22,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Um, this is something

718
00:32:22,180 --> 00:32:23,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that we funded last

719
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:36,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: year, also under the BARSC that was very positively received by our kababayans, this pertains to special education programs.

720
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:50,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So kung pwede ko po siyang i-clump together, tatlo po yung aking po i-advocate, Madrasa Education Program, Special Needs Education Program, and Indigenous Peoples Education Program or IPED.

721
00:32:50,000 --> 00:33:03,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a request po, again emanating from DEPED, last year po, I believe if I remember correctly, we allocated 25 million pesos each to the three different programs.

722
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:14,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: This year po, if I may put forth a motion, first for the Madrasa Education Program to add 50 million pesos for the Madrasa Education Program.

723
00:33:18,660 --> 00:33:19,980

727
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:41,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Next is the Special Needs Education Program. Kahit mamaya na pag tapos na yung tatlo.

728
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:49,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For the Special Needs Education Program, of course for our students with special needs po,

729
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:56,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nakapunta po ako sa isang classroom, SNED classroom, na sobrang kulang po sa kagamitan.

730
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:06,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Tapos, given the situation of the students, kailangan po sana may tatlo o dalawa o tatlong guro sa bawat classroom

731
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:10,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because they need to pay particular attention to the students.

732
00:34:10,900 --> 00:34:19,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, kulang na kulang pa po, although meron pong 849 million pesos sa NEP, ito pong special needs,

733
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:29,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I would like to put forth a motion to add an additional 75 million pesos towards the Special Needs Education Program.

736
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:49,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Finally po, for the Indigenous Peoples Education Program, or IPED, the DEPED has a request po to add and augment

737
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:56,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the funds for IPED. Currently, it has 76 million in the NEP.

738
00:34:56,460 --> 00:35:04,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The proposal po, the motion that I would like to put forth is to add 25 million pesos on top of that.

739
00:35:05,660 --> 00:35:10,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: These are for the special education po of our Indigenous Peoples.

746
00:35:28,460 --> 00:35:35,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May I clarify lang po, Kong Allen, is it all three? Madrasas, SNED, and IPED?

747
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:35,700
Rep. Allan U. Ty: Yes, I think.

748
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:44,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I believe also during the plenary deliberations and the committee deliberations, our colleagues from Akbayan Party List

749
00:35:44,940 --> 00:35:54,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and ACT Teachers Party List have been very vocal about additional funding for Madrasas, SNED, and IPED.

757
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:30,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Next po, this is also something that was raised by Secretary Sonny Angara during the deliberations.

758
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:37,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Isa din po ito sa talagang matinding tinalakay sa media at sa social media.

759
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:44,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yun po yung kakulangan, actually kawalan ng pondo para sa academic recovery and accessible learning.

760
00:36:44,940 --> 00:36:54,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, this is a very important program that helps with the tutoring of our students po.

761
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Especially those students who are having challenges and difficulties in school.

762
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:05,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: They are provided tutoring program to help them catch up with their school work.

763
00:37:05,820 --> 00:37:09,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Last year po, we funded this also under the BARSC.

764
00:37:09,860 --> 00:37:14,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I believe we were able to give a substantial amount po for ARAL.

765
00:37:14,940 --> 00:37:22,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And we were surprised to find out that this year po, zero ang budget ng ARAL sa NEP.

766
00:37:23,140 --> 00:37:24,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: As in, zero po, walang pondo.

767
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:30,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, kung hindi po natin itong mapupondohan, mawawala po yung tutoring program ng mga kabataan.

768
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:43,930
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, with that, I would like to put forth a motion to the body to allocate 350 million pesos towards the academic recovery and accessible learning or ARAL program.

769
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:46,340

774
00:37:54,940 --> 00:38:00,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And finally po, for DepEd, on my side po,

775
00:38:00,940 --> 00:38:12,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I would like to put forth a motion to add an additional 952 million pesos towards the basic education facility program.

776
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:19,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For additional classrooms po, to be built.

777
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:30,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Although, rest assured po, I know po that we've been discussing that there have been some challenges in terms of the speed by which DepEd is implementing the classrooms.

778
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:39,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We will make sure po, on the part of the house, this is something that we've already discussed, that we will do our oversight po.

779
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We will exercise our oversight functions.

780
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:42,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Um,

781
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:59,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: To make sure that the build out of classrooms, the implementation of classrooms that were funded from 2025, 2026, and in 2027 are, the implementation is on track and would not be delayed po.

782
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:11,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, with that, I would like to put forth a motion to allocate 952 million pesos towards the BEF program or the classroom program of DepEd.

783
00:39:13,300 --> 00:39:13,940
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Second.

789
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:41,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Before I open the floor po for other proposals that may, that may, that the BARSC members may want to advocate for under DepEd, I would like to do a recap.

790

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Total per department.

905
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The additional lang, yan.

906
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:54,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sum

907
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: column E.

908
00:46:19,180 --> 00:46:21,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, for the Department of Education po,

909
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:22,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: just to recap,

910
00:46:22,940 --> 00:46:24,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we will be adding

911
00:46:24,540 --> 00:46:25,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: an additional

912
00:46:25,740 --> 00:46:28,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 1,952,000,000

913
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to the budget of the Department of Education.

914
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And then,

915
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as manifested by SDS

916
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Dinand Hernandez,

917
00:46:38,380 --> 00:46:40,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so, for the tertiary education

918
00:46:40,740 --> 00:46:42,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: subsidy, an additional 2.1

919
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:43,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion pesos.

920
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:46,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Aside from that po,

921
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:48,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SDS, or the members

922
00:46:48,940 --> 00:46:50,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of the BARSC, any other manifestations po

923
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:51,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for CHED?

924
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:52,780
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Madam Chair,

925
00:46:53,660 --> 00:46:56,100
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: natulong doon ang program. Matagal ng

926
00:46:56,100 --> 00:46:57,480
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: programa ito ng CHED.

927
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,780
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Marami na rin nag-graduate dito.

928
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,360
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Marami na rin natulungan. However,

929
00:47:04,100 --> 00:47:04,580
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: sa NEP

930
00:47:04,580 --> 00:47:06,440
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: for 2027, wala pong

931
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:07,420
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: budget. So,

932
00:47:08,380 --> 00:47:10,700
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: palagay dito yun.

933
00:47:11,700 --> 00:47:12,420
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So,

934
00:47:13,020 --> 00:47:14,580
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: there's a proposal

935
00:47:14,580 --> 00:47:15,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: from CHED

936
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: to put a

937
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:20,640
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: they have a proposal

938
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,820
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: of budget of 1.7

939
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:31,220
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: 1,766,390,000 Madam Chair.

940
00:47:31,220 --> 00:47:39,340
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: And I'd like to propose to adopt the proposal of CHED Madam Chair.

941
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May I solicit a motion po, SDS?

942
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:54,820
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: I move that we adopt the proposal of CHED which is 1,766,390,000 Madam Chair.

943
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:57,480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Second.

944
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:02,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion duly seconded. There being no objection, the motion is carried.

945
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any other po for CHED?

946
00:48:10,940 --> 00:48:14,320
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Madam Chair, this is not specifically CHED.

947
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:19,620
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: But I believe this is under CHED for the Legal Education Board.

948
00:48:19,620 --> 00:48:25,860
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Just on behalf of Kabataan Partylist Representative Renee Co,

949
00:48:27,060 --> 00:48:31,700
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: for consideration of the committee,

950
00:48:32,420 --> 00:48:36,120
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: the proposed request of the Legal Education Board,

951
00:48:36,620 --> 00:48:42,400
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: particularly on their priority request on the Clinical Legal Education Program,

952
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,200
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: and there are other priorities,

953
00:48:46,540 --> 00:48:48,020
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: hindi ko lang po ito kabisado,

954
00:48:48,140 --> 00:48:52,000
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: but we are submitting it for consideration of the committee, Madam Chair.

955
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, Representative Johan Bautista.

956
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Is there a particular amount po that was cited for LEB?

957
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:05,040
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: For CLEP, Madam Chair, there are other, ano po kasi dito,

958
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:09,260
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: but their priority is the Clinical Legal Education Program or CLEP.

959
00:49:09,260 --> 00:49:12,260
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: The requested amount, Madam Chair, is 57 million.

960
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,840
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, thank you.

961
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,410
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Representative Brian Poe.

962
00:49:16,410 --> 00:49:21,880
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, in the submission of Kabataan Partylist, CLEP is the priority.

963
00:49:22,500 --> 00:49:28,620
Rep. Brian Poe: However, there is also a third item there on Legal Education Access and Development Scholarship.

964
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,920
Rep. Brian Poe: Since we're already funding scholarships under CHED,

965
00:49:33,300 --> 00:49:36,740
Rep. Brian Poe: there's a possibility since this is higher education funding,

966
00:49:37,240 --> 00:49:39,920
Rep. Brian Poe: baka we could source some of the funding for that from there.

967
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:41,920
Rep. Brian Poe: But it's 83

968
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:43,800
Rep. Brian Poe: million pesos, I believe.

969
00:49:44,460 --> 00:49:45,960
Rep. Brian Poe: For consideration lang of the BARSC.

970
00:49:50,300 --> 00:49:51,440
Rep. Brian Poe: For consideration.

971
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:52,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

972
00:49:53,180 --> 00:49:59,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: With that, we'll please submit the documents to the body for the consideration of the BARSC.

973
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:04,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any other comments po, manifestations for CHED?

974
00:50:05,620 --> 00:50:09,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Or perhaps we can also put it into the discussion, higher education in general.

975
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:11,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So maybe SUCs.

976
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Or anything related to higher education po.

977
00:50:18,260 --> 00:50:19,140
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Madam Chair.

978
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Deputy Speaker Janette Garin.

979
00:50:23,180 --> 00:50:30,780
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Madam Chair, we are also in receipt of a request from the UP Center for Education and Development of UP Diliman,

980
00:50:31,420 --> 00:50:35,700
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: specifically for CAPE, or the Congressional Alliance for Philippine Education.

981
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:40,760
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: In the proposed NEP of 2027, they have a zero budget.

982
00:50:41,460 --> 00:50:42,260
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: However, we are...

983
00:50:42,260 --> 00:50:50,040
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: We are very much aware of how EDCOM had already reached a very important role

984
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:55,800
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in terms of legislation, education, funding, and accountability.

985
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:00,460
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: And while the education problems cut across many sectors and committees,

986
00:51:00,820 --> 00:51:02,820
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: it's often fragmented and vulnerable,

987
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:08,080
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: especially when it comes to changes in political leadership and congressional priorities.

988
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:12,080
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Hence, the intention of...

989
00:51:12,260 --> 00:51:33,720
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: of CAPE, which will serve as a cross-committee and cross-party platform where shared education reform agenda can be discussed will also translate to evidence and recommendations from EDCOM 2 and other education stakeholders, including oversight initiatives, budget priorities, and sustained policy action.

990
00:51:33,720 --> 00:51:41,980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Ultimately, the case for supporting CAPE rests on a simple principle, and that is education reform requires more than good policies.

991
00:51:41,980 --> 00:51:53,680
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: It requires a durable coalition capable of carrying those policies from evidence to legislation, from legislation to funding, from funding to implementation, and accountability.

992
00:51:54,780 --> 00:51:59,680
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: With this, Madam Chair, allow me to put forward a motion

993
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,460
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to

994
00:52:02,460 --> 00:52:09,220
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: include under the UP system,

995
00:52:10,500 --> 00:52:11,960
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: particularly the UP system,

996
00:52:11,980 --> 00:52:14,660
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: the UP Center for Education and Development of UP Diliman,

997
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,440
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: an increase in the amount of 70 million

998
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:23,500
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to cover the program related to EDCOM 2 and CAPE.

999
00:52:24,460 --> 00:52:26,040
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: So, moved, Madam Chair.

1000
00:52:26,500 --> 00:52:28,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion. Any second?

1001
00:52:28,300 --> 00:52:29,140
Rep. Brian Poe: I second the motion.

1002
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion. Any objection?

1003
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:33,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection,

1004
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it has been duly seconded. The motion is carried.

1005
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 70 million pesos for the UP Center for Education and Development

1006
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:41,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: under the UP system.

1007
00:52:41,980 --> 00:52:42,980
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair.

1008
00:52:43,980 --> 00:52:44,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes.

1009
00:52:44,980 --> 00:52:45,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Brian.

1010
00:52:45,980 --> 00:52:46,980
Rep. Brian Poe: Yes.

1011
00:52:46,980 --> 00:52:53,980
Rep. Brian Poe: I have a few requests from the UP system, if I may make some proposals, Madam Chair.

1012
00:52:53,980 --> 00:53:03,000
Rep. Brian Poe: So, Madam Chair, under program, under the UP system, under the Resilience Institute,

1013
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:11,040
Rep. Brian Poe: the conduct of research services under Project NOAA, there is a request for 275 million pesos.

1014
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:11,540
Rep. Brian Poe: Yes.

1015
00:53:11,540 --> 00:53:13,540
Rep. Brian Poe: There is a request for 275 million pesos increase.

1016
00:53:13,540 --> 00:53:16,220
Rep. Brian Poe: I was hoping that the BARSC would consider it.

1017
00:53:16,260 --> 00:53:23,540
Rep. Brian Poe: So, I move for the consideration of the UP Project NOAA increase of 275 million pesos,

1018
00:53:23,780 --> 00:53:28,180
Rep. Brian Poe: which I think we definitely need considering all the flooding that's been happening.

1019
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Before we rule on the motion, I just wanted to manifest.

1020
00:53:34,500 --> 00:53:40,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, last year, the BARSC and the House, and eventually,

1021
00:53:41,540 --> 00:53:47,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: both chambers, the House and the Senate, gave an additional 1 billion pesos for Project NOAA

1022
00:53:47,660 --> 00:53:50,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the 2026 budget.

1023
00:53:51,020 --> 00:53:57,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Binigay po natin 'yun para po mas mapaganda po ng Project NOAH 'yung kanilang hazard mapping

1024
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:04,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at makatulong po din sila sa pag-vet ng mga proyekto patungkol po sa flood control

1025
00:54:04,260 --> 00:54:08,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at iba pang mga flood management designs and mechanisms.

1026
00:54:08,380 --> 00:54:11,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, I believe I had

1027
00:54:11,540 --> 00:54:16,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: a conversation with Professor Mahar Lagmay and President Jijil Jimenez of the UP system,

1028
00:54:16,860 --> 00:54:19,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and they've already received the 1 billion pesos.

1029
00:54:19,900 --> 00:54:24,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The SARO for the 1 billion pesos has already been released to the UP system,

1030
00:54:24,980 --> 00:54:28,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and now, Project NOAA is in the process of ramping up their operation.

1031
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, ang lagi pong sinasabi ngayon ni Professor Mahar,

1032
00:54:32,180 --> 00:54:37,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kahit daw po bahay ng manok, makikita na daw po doon sa satellite mapping ng Project NOAA

1033
00:54:37,780 --> 00:54:41,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kasi maging 1 by 1 square meter na daw po yung mapping.

1034
00:54:41,540 --> 00:54:50,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And I'm also very happy to report that we are currently working with Project NOAA

1035
00:54:50,420 --> 00:54:57,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and the UP Resilience Institute, as well as other stakeholders in the scientific community.

1036
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:03,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We are working together now to vet all of the flood control projects,

1037
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:11,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: all the items under 002 in DPWH, so flood control,

1038
00:55:11,140 --> 00:55:12,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: drainage, and the like.

1039
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:18,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, we are working with them now to vet all of the projects that are there in the NEP

1040
00:55:18,940 --> 00:55:25,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to make sure that whichever projects are there approved in the House General Appropriations Bill

1041
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:30,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: are properly vetted and implementable po, and needed talaga.

1042
00:55:30,620 --> 00:55:37,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, with this, hopefully with the additional funding, they can sustain their operations.

1043
00:55:37,940 --> 00:55:40,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at sana po mas mapaganda pa nila

1044
00:55:41,140 --> 00:55:42,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 'yung nasimulan nila dito po.

1045
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:50,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, again, there is a motion to allocate 250, ah sorry, 275

1046
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:55,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion—million, sorry, 275 million, very important mistake,

1047
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 275 million towards Project NOAA.

1048
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:02,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any second po?

1049
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:04,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion.

1050
00:56:04,980 --> 00:56:07,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Duly seconded. There being no objection, the motion is carried.

1051
00:56:08,340 --> 00:56:08,860
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair?

1052
00:56:11,140 --> 00:56:21,000
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, my only other request for the UP system is for their UP Diliman Institute of Mathematics.

1053
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,420
Rep. Brian Poe: There's a request for 15 million pesos.

1054
00:56:25,260 --> 00:56:31,980
Rep. Brian Poe: I think naman, an investment into mathematics wouldn't hurt in our economy right now.

1055
00:56:34,340 --> 00:56:36,360
Rep. Brian Poe: May I move for the inclusion?

1056
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,180
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, it's 15, right?

1057
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:39,220
Rep. Brian Poe: 15, 1-5.

1058
00:56:39,260 --> 00:56:39,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 1-5, yeah.

1059
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:40,520
Committee member/seconding voice: Second.

1060
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:46,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion to add 15, is it 1-5 or 5-0?

1061
00:56:46,740 --> 00:56:51,280
Rep. Brian Poe: If you want to make it 5-0, Madam Chair, I don't think the UP Mathematics Department will complain.

1062
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:52,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Wait, let's clarify the motion.

1063
00:56:52,820 --> 00:56:55,120
Rep. Brian Poe: It's 15, it's 1-5, it's 1-5.

1064
00:56:55,320 --> 00:57:02,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, there is a motion to add 15 million pesos to the UP Institute of Mathematics, UP Diliman, right?

1065
00:57:02,380 --> 00:57:03,060
Rep. Brian Poe: Yes, UP Diliman.

1066
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,220

1069
00:57:10,060 --> 00:57:10,720
Rep. Brian Poe: Thank you, Madam Chair.

1070
00:57:11,140 --> 00:57:12,460
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Quick manifestation on that.

1071
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:20,220
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: For the record, the Institute of Mathematics since 1998 has been recognized by the Philippine Commission as a center of excellence.

1072
00:57:20,220 --> 00:57:27,820
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: It has a zero budget in the NEP of 2027, hence putting in 15 million might be a small amount,

1073
00:57:28,220 --> 00:57:35,720
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: but it's actually a big step towards producing more promising researchers in mathematics because indeed they are now leading.

1074
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's actually quite surprising.

1075
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:39,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Zero siya.

1076
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Zero under the NEP.

1077
00:57:41,140 --> 00:57:42,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you for raising that point.

1078
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:55,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, with that, may I ask the body any more manifestations pertaining to higher education, SUCs, CHED, and the like?

1079
00:57:57,620 --> 00:57:58,240
Rep. Stephen James T. Tan: Madam Chair?

1080
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,300

1083
00:58:11,140 --> 00:58:16,560
Rep. Stephen James T. Tan: for the budget of 2027 under the program locally funded projects for various state universities.

1084
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:34,340
Rep. Stephen James T. Tan: May we consider this and I would like to put this also into motion that we approve or allocate the 465 million for the program locally funded project for various state universities.

1085
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:35,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

1086
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Stephen, may I just clarify?

1087
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:40,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, these are different states.

1088
00:58:41,140 --> 00:58:41,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: State universities.

1089
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:43,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's not just one, right?

1090
00:58:43,940 --> 00:58:46,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's various state universities.

1094
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And it adds up to 475 million pesos.

1095
00:58:54,580 --> 00:58:55,240
Rep. Stephen James T. Tan: Yes, Madam Chair.

1096
00:58:55,380 --> 00:58:55,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

1097
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:56,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Kong Stephen.

1098
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:57,800

01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:44,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion pesos

1192
01:04:44,460 --> 01:04:46,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: additional for

1193
01:04:46,380 --> 01:04:47,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: TESDA.

1194
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:50,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Before we move po

1195
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:51,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to other departments,

1196
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: any other manifestations po

1197
01:04:54,340 --> 01:04:56,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: relating to the education cluster?

1198
01:04:59,380 --> 01:05:00,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: With no other

1199
01:05:00,740 --> 01:05:02,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: manifestations from the body,

1200
01:05:02,340 --> 01:05:04,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: may we get po a total for the

1201
01:05:04,260 --> 01:05:06,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: education cluster? So combination

1202
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of DepEd,

1203
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:10,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: CHED, and

1204
01:05:10,420 --> 01:05:12,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SUCs and TESDA.

1205
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:37,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So for the record,

1206
01:05:38,260 --> 01:05:40,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: given the manifestations

1207
01:05:40,380 --> 01:05:42,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of the Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee,

1208
01:05:42,860 --> 01:05:44,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the subtotal for the

1209
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:46,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: education cluster is an additional

1210
01:05:46,820 --> 01:05:49,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 8.07

1211
01:05:49,180 --> 01:05:50,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion pesos.

1212
01:05:50,220 --> 01:05:50,620
Committee member: Wow.

1213
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:58,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Very good so far.

1214
01:05:58,900 --> 01:05:59,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes po.

1215
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We wanted to put it first because

1216
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:03,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we want to prioritize the education

1217
01:06:03,820 --> 01:06:05,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sector po.

1218
01:06:05,860 --> 01:06:07,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So again, for the

1219
01:06:07,980 --> 01:06:09,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: education cluster,

1220
01:06:09,700 --> 01:06:11,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sorry, let me write that down.

1221
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 8.072.775.

1222
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:17,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Okay.

1223
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:27,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much po to the members of the BARSC.

1224
01:06:27,820 --> 01:06:28,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So we finished

1225
01:06:28,660 --> 01:06:30,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: our first cluster, which is the

1226
01:06:30,340 --> 01:06:31,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: education cluster.

1227
01:06:31,700 --> 01:06:33,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And we have added

1228
01:06:33,260 --> 01:06:41,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 8 billion, 72, tama ba? Sorry, 8.072775

1229
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:43,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion pesos

1230
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: towards the education cluster.

1231
01:06:51,380 --> 01:06:51,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So

1232
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:52,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with

1233
01:06:52,180 --> 01:06:54,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that po, we adhere to our commitment.

1234
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Again, we have repeatedly said that on the part of the House of Representatives

1235
01:06:58,740 --> 01:07:05,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that we want to make sure that the education cluster gets the biggest budgetary share in our budget.

1236
01:07:06,260 --> 01:07:13,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And as per the Constitution po, I believe we're at 3.95% in the NEP.

1237
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:20,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So that's the goal po, to get as close to the 4% benchmark as possible.

1238
01:07:22,180 --> 01:07:32,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If I may suggest po, given the manifestation of Deputy Speaker Janette Garin earlier,

1239
01:07:32,820 --> 01:07:37,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that we want the budget to be an El Nino-ready budget.

1240
01:07:37,220 --> 01:07:41,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And alam ko po, isa din po ito sa inabangan ng ating mga kababayan.

1241
01:07:42,260 --> 01:07:51,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Papaano po natin i-operationalize sa budget yung ating commitment na gawin pong El Nino-ready,

1242
01:07:51,780 --> 01:07:52,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung ating budget.

1243
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:58,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So with that, if I may po, recommend to the body for us to move to DA,

1244
01:07:58,340 --> 01:08:01,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to the Department of Agriculture, and the agriculture sector in general.

1245
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:04,440
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, thank you very much Madam Chair.

1246
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:06,760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair, I could not...

1247
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:07,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'd like to recognize...

1248
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:09,400
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, thank you. My apologies Madam Chair.

1249
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:13,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's okay po. I'm the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture and Food,

1250
01:08:13,140 --> 01:08:14,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Mark Enverga.

1251
01:08:14,540 --> 01:08:15,900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Thank you once again Madam Chair.

1252
01:08:15,900 --> 01:08:18,900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: And again, I wish to re-emphasize the...

1253
01:08:18,900 --> 01:08:22,740
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: the looming problem of El Nino,

1254
01:08:23,220 --> 01:08:25,240
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: as well as the rising costs of fuel,

1255
01:08:25,380 --> 01:08:30,040
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: which would impact the agricultural sector as well.

1256
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, Madam Chair, for the record,

1257
01:08:33,860 --> 01:08:37,420
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I have the copy of the requests of the Department of Agriculture.

1258
01:08:38,660 --> 01:08:40,600
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: And it is quite lengthy,

1259
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:42,760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: but unfortunately we should focus,

1260
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:44,120
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I agree with you Madam Chair,

1261
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that we should re-focus our attentions in the mitigation projects

1262
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:54,120
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: and programs that would help somehow mitigate the impacts of El Nino.

1263
01:08:54,820 --> 01:08:56,520
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: If I may start Madam Chair,

1264
01:08:57,100 --> 01:09:02,760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: currently the Department of Agriculture already has a fertilizer assistance program.

1265
01:09:03,480 --> 01:09:07,180
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, they propose an expanded fertilizer assistance program,

1266
01:09:08,260 --> 01:09:11,280
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: currently with a NEP budget in the year 2027

1267
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:17,280
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: of 14,443,499,000.

1268
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:19,660
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: May I move Madam Chair,

1269
01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:22,400
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that since this program is very much needed,

1270
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:26,520
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: so that we keep the planting intentions of our farmers to be there,

1271
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:29,620
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: and to assure them that there is support from government,

1272
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:31,440
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: particularly for fertilizer.

1273
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:33,320
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: May I move Madam Chair,

1274
01:09:33,500 --> 01:09:39,580
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that I propose the amount of increase of 500 million pesos

1275
01:09:39,580 --> 01:09:42,920
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to the expanded fertilizer assistance program of DA.

1276
01:09:43,460 --> 01:09:44,320
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, I move Madam Chair.

1277
01:09:45,580 --> 01:09:47,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion to add...

1278
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:50,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: an additional half a billion pesos

1279
01:09:50,220 --> 01:09:53,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to the expanded fertilizer assistance.

1280
01:09:53,300 --> 01:09:55,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been duly seconded.

1281
01:09:55,100 --> 01:09:57,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection, the motion is carried.

1282
01:09:58,020 --> 01:10:00,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I remember this, Chair Mark,

1283
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nung nandoon po tayo sa budget deliberation ng DA,

1284
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we asked Secretary Kiko Tiu Laurel

1285
01:10:05,300 --> 01:10:12,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as to which of the items would help them respond to the looming super El Nino.

1286
01:10:12,780 --> 01:10:15,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ito po yung pinakauna talaga na binanggit nila sa Kiko.

1287
01:10:15,620 --> 01:10:17,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And I believe, even during the uplift,

1288
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ito po yung una nila ding pinondohan

1289
01:10:20,340 --> 01:10:21,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kasi ito yung unang nagmamahal

1290
01:10:21,980 --> 01:10:24,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kapag tumataas po yung presyo ng crudo.

1291
01:10:25,500 --> 01:10:27,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yung fertilizer po talaga sobrang nagmamahal.

1292
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:31,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, thank you, Chair Mark, for manifesting that.

1293
01:10:32,060 --> 01:10:34,100
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, before we continue...

1294
01:10:34,100 --> 01:10:34,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Brian.

1295
01:10:35,260 --> 01:10:37,020
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, before we continue,

1296
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:42,340
Rep. Brian Poe: because the budget for fertilizer is unspecified per crop,

1297
01:10:42,500 --> 01:10:47,040
Rep. Brian Poe: there is a specific crop that I would be remiss in not championing.

1298
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:51,320
Rep. Brian Poe: I hope that we can align some of this budget

1299
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,020
Rep. Brian Poe: to support the Ube industry of the Philippines.

1300
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,140
Rep. Brian Poe: I believe there are requests within the department

1301
01:10:57,140 --> 01:10:59,400
Rep. Brian Poe: to support the Ube industry.

1302
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,460
Rep. Brian Poe: And I think that sayang naman

1303
01:11:01,460 --> 01:11:06,980
Rep. Brian Poe: kung maiiwan tayo ulit ng neighbors natin pagdating sa ube.

1304
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:11,240
Rep. Brian Poe: This is something nationally important to us.

1305
01:11:11,780 --> 01:11:14,220
Rep. Brian Poe: So, if I may suggest and if I may move

1306
01:11:14,220 --> 01:11:17,740
Rep. Brian Poe: that we realign 100 million of that,

1307
01:11:17,740 --> 01:11:22,820
Rep. Brian Poe: to support specifically Ube farming here in the Philippines.

1308
01:11:30,500 --> 01:11:35,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May I defer to Chair Mark?

1309
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:36,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because I don't want to preempt,

1310
01:11:36,780 --> 01:11:41,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because perhaps I want to give the floor to Chair Mark Iverka.

1311
01:11:41,300 --> 01:11:46,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Perhaps it's part of your list of what you would like to advocate for?

1312
01:11:46,420 --> 01:11:47,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes.

1313
01:11:47,740 --> 01:11:50,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Maybe rather than realigning,

1314
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:55,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I don't know if the body would like to add a separate amount for Ube.

1315
01:11:55,900 --> 01:11:57,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, Chair Mark, I'd like to defer to you.

1316
01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:58,900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair.

1317
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:06,140
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: We are very much welcome to include the Ube export program.

1318
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:10,720
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: In fact, Madam Chair, it is part of their priorities and request

1319
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:16,620
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to include Ube export,

1320
01:12:16,620 --> 01:12:17,500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: ano, with the

1321
01:12:17,500 --> 01:12:21,600
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: in terms of the budget.

1322
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:24,020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes.

1323
01:12:24,020 --> 01:12:28,500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, Madam Chair.

1324
01:12:28,660 --> 01:12:29,440
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: May I continue?

1325
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:29,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes.

1326
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:33,560
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, yes, I would accede to Donable Brian Poe.

1327
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:36,460
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Probably, Madam Chair, would it be okay at the proper time

1328
01:12:36,460 --> 01:12:40,060
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: when we get to the item with the indulgence of Donable Brian Poe?

1329
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:40,400
Rep. Brian Poe: Sure.

1330
01:12:40,980 --> 01:12:43,240
Rep. Brian Poe: For now, Madam Chair, I'll retract my motion.

1331
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:47,240
Rep. Brian Poe: But I leave it as a manifestation instead that we take up this,

1332
01:12:47,500 --> 01:12:49,760
Rep. Brian Poe: the funds for Ube here in the Philippines.

1333
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:52,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Representative Brian Poe.

1334
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And with that, Chair Mark, please proceed with other items.

1335
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:56,260
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Madam Chair, very short.

1336
01:12:57,080 --> 01:12:58,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Talagang pag-Ube.

1337
01:12:58,220 --> 01:12:58,820
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Pag-Ube.

1338
01:12:59,440 --> 01:13:00,500
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Anong color ng Ube?

1339
01:13:01,140 --> 01:13:01,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yellow.

1340
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:01,940
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Yeah.

1341
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:04,040
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Of course, Madam Chair.

1342
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:04,580
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: I will third.

1343
01:13:04,780 --> 01:13:05,140
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Not second.

1344
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:07,340
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: I will third, Madam Chair, later at the proper time.

1345
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:09,340
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I appreciate that, Madam Chair.

1346
01:13:10,540 --> 01:13:10,800
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes.

1347
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:11,400
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Thank you.

1348
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:15,140
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair, again, at the proper time, I will get to that.

1349
01:13:15,140 --> 01:13:17,100
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I think the motion would be best.

1350
01:13:17,500 --> 01:13:24,320
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I'm deliberated upon once we get to the end of the proposals of this representation.

1351
01:13:25,020 --> 01:13:28,320
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair, again, in line of the problem with the El Nino phenomenon,

1352
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:30,480
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: the super El Nino phenomenon,

1353
01:13:31,140 --> 01:13:36,520
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: and, of course, the looming probable increases in gas prices,

1354
01:13:37,540 --> 01:13:43,540
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I also propose a program that was not included in the NEP for 2027,

1355
01:13:43,540 --> 01:13:46,360
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: which is the solar pumps for irrigation.

1356
01:13:47,380 --> 01:13:47,480
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Okay.

1357
01:13:47,500 --> 01:13:52,260
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: If I may clarify, Madam Chair, this is not included under the National Irrigation Administration.

1358
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:58,340
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, this is specific to areas that are not part of the irrigated areas.

1359
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:02,700
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, this would fall under the DABSWM.

1360
01:14:04,460 --> 01:14:08,340
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: And I, once again, it is not included in the NEP 2027.

1361
01:14:08,340 --> 01:14:17,340
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: If I may also move, Madam Chair, that we include 125 million pesos budget for this specific,

1362
01:14:17,500 --> 01:14:18,160
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: for this specific program.

1363
01:14:19,260 --> 01:14:23,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Before I, before I solicit po, I would just like to clarify, Chair Mark,

1364
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:26,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and perhaps this is better directed to DA.

1365
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We just want to make sure there's no duplication in functions.

1366
01:14:29,440 --> 01:14:33,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And clarify naman po ni Chair Mark that the serviceable area,

1367
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:38,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the serviced area of NIA is different from the serviced area of DA.

1368
01:14:38,700 --> 01:14:39,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yun lang po.

1369
01:14:39,180 --> 01:14:42,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kasi baka lang mag-overlap po yung functions sila dalawa.

1370
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:47,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because I believe we're also, in the NEP itself, there's already a lot of funding,

1371
01:14:47,500 --> 01:14:52,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for NIA, for EPIP, for the solar irrigation pumps.

1372
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:54,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, iba po talaga ito.

1373
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Makaiba po itong dalawang programa ng DA at NIA.

1374
01:14:57,360 --> 01:14:58,460
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, thank you, Madam Chair.

1375
01:14:58,620 --> 01:15:00,540
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I could not say it better.

1376
01:15:00,940 --> 01:15:05,560
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: At least for the record, ma'am, tama po, Madam Chair, yung observation po ninyo.

1377
01:15:05,740 --> 01:15:06,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

1378
01:15:06,180 --> 01:15:07,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Chair Mark.

1379
01:15:07,440 --> 01:15:13,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion from Chairman Mark Enverga to, how much po, Chair?

1380
01:15:13,420 --> 01:15:14,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry, 125 million.

1381
01:15:14,940 --> 01:15:16,500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: 125 million, Madam Chair.

1382
01:15:16,500 --> 01:15:20,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For the provision of solar pumps for irrigation under the Department of Agriculture.

1383
01:15:22,020 --> 01:15:22,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any second?

1384
01:15:23,660 --> 01:15:24,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been truly seconded.

1385
01:15:24,860 --> 01:15:26,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection, the motion is carried.

1386
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:29,920
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and to my dear colleagues.

1387
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:36,120
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair, just to move on also, there are various technologies available also,

1388
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:40,040
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: particularly for the fishery sector.

1389
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:46,260
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: We've observed that there is difficulty for isolated areas.

1390
01:15:46,500 --> 01:15:58,020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Fishing areas, wherein they are at the mercy of the traders, or if not, they are at risk always of spoilage of their catch, their fish catch.

1391
01:15:58,020 --> 01:16:05,520
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, there are new technologies available, which are hybrid solar-powered ice plants.

1392
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:12,640
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, with that, Madam Chair, again, it is not also included in the NEP proposal for 2027.

1393
01:16:13,540 --> 01:16:15,980
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: May I move, Madam Chair, that we include 100?

1394
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:25,640
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: And 5 million pesos to support the program of the provision of hybrid solar-powered ice plants.

1395
01:16:26,820 --> 01:16:27,560
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, move, Madam Chair.

1396
01:16:28,060 --> 01:16:28,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

1397
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:30,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair, just to clarify, this is under BFAR, right?

1398
01:16:31,100 --> 01:16:35,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Not the overall DA umbrella?

1399
01:16:35,500 --> 01:16:36,920
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, Madam Chair, that is correct.

1400
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:37,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, po.

1401
01:16:37,980 --> 01:16:38,900
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Question, Madam Chair.

1402
01:16:39,100 --> 01:16:39,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, po.

1403
01:16:40,340 --> 01:16:41,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chairman Josep P.

1404
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:43,700
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: I'd like to ask about this.

1405
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:46,280
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Are these ice plants or cold storage?

1406
01:16:46,500 --> 01:16:49,240
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Ah, Madam Chair, may I be recognized?

1407
01:16:49,860 --> 01:16:52,520
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: These are ice plants, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

1408
01:16:52,860 --> 01:16:55,400
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, ice producing equipments?

1409
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:57,900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, Madam Chair.

1410
01:16:57,940 --> 01:16:59,440
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: 125 million.

1411
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,020
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: How many units will this be?

1412
01:17:02,740 --> 01:17:10,920
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair, it would vary because some could be desalination using the desalination technology.

1413
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:14,380
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Some are air-to-water technology, which are available.

1414
01:17:14,380 --> 01:17:16,200
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: But again, it's subjective.

1415
01:17:16,500 --> 01:17:23,040
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, it is subjective to which would be the best for the

1416
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:26,280
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: proposed areas for proposals.

1417
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:28,220
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: No objection, Madam Chair.

1418
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,720
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: I just want to manifest the distribution of this

1419
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:36,200
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: should be evenly distributed to the necessary areas

1420
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,060
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: na kailangan na kailangan talaga nila ito.

1421
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:41,660
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Particularly sa mga isla na fishing grounds.

1422
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:44,300
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: I support this increase, Madam Chair.

1423
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:47,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Mark, again, how many units for this?

1424
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:59,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The 105 million is equivalent to how many solar-powered ice plants?

1425
01:17:59,960 --> 01:18:01,860
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Well, Madam Chair, it depends, Ma'am.

1426
01:18:02,460 --> 01:18:08,640
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Because if DA would deem to use the air-to-water technology,

1427
01:18:09,420 --> 01:18:13,560
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: we were told that it could range from 30 to 35 million.

1428
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:15,940
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: But if there's a desalination,

1429
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:21,040
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: option for a certain island, isolated island,

1430
01:18:21,260 --> 01:18:22,280
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: it would be much cheaper.

1431
01:18:23,100 --> 01:18:26,000
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So it would be difficult, Madam Chair, to answer the question.

1432
01:18:26,100 --> 01:18:27,680
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Will you leave it up to DA, I guess,

1433
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:29,420
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: in terms of the implementation?

1434
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:33,940
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So I could not give a definitive answer.

1435
01:18:34,140 --> 01:18:36,380
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: But at least this gives them the flexibility

1436
01:18:36,380 --> 01:18:37,880
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to use various technologies

1437
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:42,080
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that could produce the ice plant facility.

1438
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:43,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think, Chair Mark, if I'm correct,

1439
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:45,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: this is a pilot program, right?

1440
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:46,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because I've never...

1441
01:18:46,140 --> 01:18:50,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I haven't encountered this as a program of DA in previous years.

1442
01:18:50,820 --> 01:18:51,480
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, Madam Chair.

1443
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:55,840
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: In fact, they are already piloting two areas

1444
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:59,760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: for the solar ice plants,

1445
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:03,020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: particularly using air-to-water technology.

1446
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:08,820
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So these are highly potential opportunities

1447
01:19:08,820 --> 01:19:10,340
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: for the fishery sector.

1448
01:19:10,340 --> 01:19:14,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For DA, I hope, as Chair Pipito manifested,

1449
01:19:14,440 --> 01:19:15,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: you can put one,

1450
01:19:16,140 --> 01:19:18,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: isa sa Luzon, isa sa Visayas, isa sa Mindanao.

1451
01:19:18,780 --> 01:19:22,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So there's a pilot for each of the different island groups.

1452
01:19:22,900 --> 01:19:25,260
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: This is their fiscal space in Palawan.

1453
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:28,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: As manifested by Chair Pipito.

1454
01:19:28,780 --> 01:19:29,960
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Remember, Madam Chair,

1455
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:34,480
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Palawan is supplying 60% of the cuts to Manila,

1456
01:19:34,620 --> 01:19:35,120
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Metro Manila.

1457
01:19:35,540 --> 01:19:37,560
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: It's all from the waters of Palawan.

1458
01:19:38,380 --> 01:19:40,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: DA, please, I know you're watching, Paul.

1459
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:44,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Please consider the manifestation of Representative Pipito Alvarez.

1460
01:19:45,480 --> 01:19:45,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a...

1461
01:19:45,980 --> 01:19:46,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a...

1462
01:19:46,020 --> 01:19:48,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion put forth by...

1463
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:49,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to...

1464
01:19:49,420 --> 01:19:49,860
Committee member/seconding voice: Second.

1465
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:50,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to...

1466
01:19:50,860 --> 01:19:52,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry, to...

1467
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:55,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: provide 105 million pesos

1468
01:19:55,320 --> 01:20:00,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: towards the provision of hybrid solar-powered ice plants.

1469
01:20:00,500 --> 01:20:01,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been duly seconded.

1470
01:20:01,660 --> 01:20:03,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection, the motion is carried.

1471
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:06,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry po, we asked around it

1472
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:07,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because it's a new program po,

1473
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:08,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so we're very interested.

1474
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Next po, Chair Mark, anything else from your end po?

1475
01:20:12,620 --> 01:20:13,360
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, Madam Chair.

1476
01:20:13,860 --> 01:20:14,900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: With your permission,

1477
01:20:14,900 --> 01:20:15,900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: if there is...

1478
01:20:16,020 --> 01:20:18,020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: If there is also a request

1479
01:20:18,020 --> 01:20:24,020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: of the implementation of the Agri-Transport and Support Infrastructure Project,

1480
01:20:24,020 --> 01:20:27,020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to be more definitive about this program, Madam Chair,

1481
01:20:27,020 --> 01:20:30,020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: this would be the cable car systems,

1482
01:20:30,020 --> 01:20:34,020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: which would be much cheaper for high-value crops

1483
01:20:34,020 --> 01:20:36,020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: being planted in the mountainous areas.

1484
01:20:36,020 --> 01:20:41,020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So rather than building costly farm-to-market roads,

1485
01:20:41,020 --> 01:20:45,860
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: this would be trams that would transport goods from one mountain to another.

1486
01:20:45,860 --> 01:20:48,860
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Which would be much cheaper and more economical

1487
01:20:48,860 --> 01:20:53,100
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: for our production system in high-value crops.

1488
01:20:55,620 --> 01:20:57,680
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Parang tram line, Ma'am?

1489
01:20:59,540 --> 01:21:01,000
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, cable siya na.

1490
01:21:01,180 --> 01:21:02,220
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Tram line.

1491
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:02,820
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Tram line.

1492
01:21:04,020 --> 01:21:07,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, Chair Mark, sorry, we're very interested po.

1493
01:21:07,620 --> 01:21:09,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So does that mean this would help the farmers?

1494
01:21:10,140 --> 01:21:11,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Halimbawa po, the farmers in Benguet,

1495
01:21:12,580 --> 01:21:13,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po yung mga...

1496
01:21:13,860 --> 01:21:16,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because earlier this year,

1497
01:21:16,140 --> 01:21:18,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: a lot of the farmers in Benguet had a problem po.

1498
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:23,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ang nangyari po, tinapon na lang po nila yung kanilang mga inane

1499
01:21:23,140 --> 01:21:27,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: dahil hindi na po nila maibaba yung kanilang mga inane.

1500
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:33,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So dito po ba target na ilagay ng DA ito pong tram system

1501
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:34,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: dun po ba sa may gawing Benguet?

1502
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:36,720
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: As advised, Madam Chair,

1503
01:21:37,180 --> 01:21:41,500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Benguet is only one, a portion only of Benguet,

1504
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:43,640
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: but there are also various areas,

1505
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:45,500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: within the country that would need this.

1506
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:47,980
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So definitely these are the mountainous areas

1507
01:21:47,980 --> 01:21:50,260
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: of high potential of production,

1508
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:52,780
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: key production areas as well.

1509
01:21:53,460 --> 01:21:56,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Again to DA, sorry, ano po eh, napansin ko pa.

1510
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:00,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Please consider putting it in areas po like Benguet

1511
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:04,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kung saan po pinakamaraming mga magsasakay yung

1512
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:07,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung mga vegetable farmers po natin

1513
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na tinatapon na lang po yung kanilang mga inane

1514
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:11,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kasi hindi po nila maibaba.

1515
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:12,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So hopefully,

1516
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: excited po kami na makita ito

1517
01:22:16,140 --> 01:22:19,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pero sana po pilihin po ng maigin ng DA

1518
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:20,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kung saan po ilalagay.

1519
01:22:21,380 --> 01:22:24,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So again, Chair Mark, how much is it po?

1520
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:25,960
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair,

1521
01:22:26,460 --> 01:22:29,060
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: there is no budget for 2027

1522
01:22:29,060 --> 01:22:32,740
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: but may I move that we include 150 million pesos

1523
01:22:32,740 --> 01:22:35,600
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: for this particular project.

1524
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:39,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion to include or add,

1525
01:22:40,100 --> 01:22:41,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: not add, actually provide

1526
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:43,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kasi zero po siya sa NEP.

1527
01:22:43,140 --> 01:22:46,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion to put 150 million pesos

1528
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:53,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: towards the creation of an agri-transport system

1529
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:56,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: like a tram system under the Department of Agriculture.

1530
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:58,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any second po?

1531
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:01,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been truly seconded.

1532
01:23:01,540 --> 01:23:03,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection, the motion is carried.

1533
01:23:04,020 --> 01:23:07,780
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Thank you, Madam Chair, and to my dear colleagues.

1534
01:23:08,480 --> 01:23:09,980
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair, if I may continue,

1535
01:23:09,980 --> 01:23:15,980
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: still, we still need better logistics throughout the country.

1536
01:23:16,980 --> 01:23:19,180
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: May I also propose, Madam Chair,

1537
01:23:19,300 --> 01:23:23,800
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that we still increase our farm-to-market road programs.

1538
01:23:25,860 --> 01:23:26,940
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So with that, Madam Chair,

1539
01:23:27,100 --> 01:23:30,920
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I believe that we have 16 billion already available.

1540
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:34,140
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Unfortunately, we see key potential areas

1541
01:23:34,140 --> 01:23:36,980
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that still need to be serviced with farm-to-market roads.

1542
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:38,320
Committee member/seconding voice: Second, the motion.

1543
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:39,540
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, Madam Chair,

1544
01:23:39,980 --> 01:23:40,720
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair,

1545
01:23:40,900 --> 01:23:42,960
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair,

1546
01:23:43,500 --> 01:23:45,140
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: so I can propose any amount?

1547
01:23:48,140 --> 01:23:49,460
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair, so with that,

1548
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:51,240
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: may I propose the amount of

1549
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:56,760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: 4,960,224,000

1550
01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,980
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to be included in the

1551
01:23:59,980 --> 01:24:02,640
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: provision for additional budget.

1552
01:24:03,140 --> 01:24:04,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Mark, just for the people

1553
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:06,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: taking note in the Excel file,

1554
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:07,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: may I please reiterate the amount?

1555
01:24:08,220 --> 01:24:09,760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, the amount is 4,960,224,000.

1556
01:24:09,980 --> 01:24:17,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion to add 4.96 billion

1557
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:20,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: towards additional farm-to-market roads.

1558
01:24:21,220 --> 01:24:23,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been duly seconded.

1559
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:25,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection,

1560
01:24:25,340 --> 01:24:26,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the motion is carried.

1561
01:24:26,860 --> 01:24:29,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Perhaps I will make the same manifestation

1562
01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:30,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that I did with regard to

1563
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:34,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the basic education facilities program.

1564
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:37,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Congress will exercise our function

1565
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:39,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to ensure that the implementation

1566
01:24:39,980 --> 01:24:41,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of farm-to-market roads

1567
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:43,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: will not be delayed

1568
01:24:43,220 --> 01:24:48,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in 2025, 2026, and 2027.

1569
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:48,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, we will try

1570
01:24:48,900 --> 01:24:51,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the DA to make sure

1571
01:24:51,460 --> 01:24:53,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that the implementation

1572
01:24:53,660 --> 01:24:55,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of farm-to-market roads will be quick.

1573
01:24:55,500 --> 01:24:56,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Mark, any other messages?

1574
01:24:56,500 --> 01:24:58,240
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

1575
01:24:59,300 --> 01:25:00,160
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Also, Madam Chair,

1576
01:25:01,380 --> 01:25:03,380
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: fish ports still remain to be

1577
01:25:03,380 --> 01:25:07,720
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: an important program

1578
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:08,960
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that we need to support.

1579
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:09,840
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, I think,

1580
01:25:09,980 --> 01:25:12,020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I believe that we need

1581
01:25:12,020 --> 01:25:13,500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to support the construction

1582
01:25:13,500 --> 01:25:14,240
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: and rehabilitation

1583
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:15,680
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: and improvement of fish ports

1584
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:16,540
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: throughout the country

1585
01:25:16,540 --> 01:25:18,640
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: under the DA-PFDA

1586
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:23,680
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to be included,

1587
01:25:24,260 --> 01:25:25,760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to be augmented, I mean.

1588
01:25:26,860 --> 01:25:28,080
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, currently, Madam Chair,

1589
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:30,220
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: there is a budget in the NEP

1590
01:25:30,220 --> 01:25:36,460
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: of 2,100,000,000 pesos.

1591
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:38,920
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: With that, Madam Chair,

1592
01:25:39,060 --> 01:25:39,620
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: may I,

1593
01:25:39,980 --> 01:25:43,120
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: move that we augment it

1594
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:45,000
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: with another 500,000,000 pesos?

1595
01:25:46,380 --> 01:25:47,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion

1596
01:25:47,740 --> 01:25:49,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to lodge an additional

1597
01:25:49,700 --> 01:25:52,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 500,000,000 under PFDA

1598
01:25:52,140 --> 01:25:55,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the construction

1599
01:25:55,220 --> 01:25:56,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and rehabilitation

1600
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:57,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and improvements of fish ports.

1601
01:25:58,420 --> 01:25:59,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been truly seconded.

1602
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:01,720
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Madam Chair, before you...

1603
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:02,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, SDS Dinan.

1604
01:26:03,060 --> 01:26:04,080
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Approve the motion.

1605
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:06,220
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: I would like to inquire

1606
01:26:06,220 --> 01:26:08,660
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: to the proponent

1607
01:26:08,660 --> 01:26:09,740
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: that,

1608
01:26:09,980 --> 01:26:11,860
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: if the GenSan Fish Port

1609
01:26:11,860 --> 01:26:12,380
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: is included,

1610
01:26:12,580 --> 01:26:13,440
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: which was damaged

1611
01:26:13,440 --> 01:26:15,040
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: during the last earthquake.

1612
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:17,860
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair,

1613
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:19,780
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I did not get the detail,

1614
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:20,800
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: but I know

1615
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:22,440
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: the Department of Agriculture

1616
01:26:22,440 --> 01:26:23,660
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: has told me that

1617
01:26:23,660 --> 01:26:24,900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: it is part of the,

1618
01:26:25,460 --> 01:26:26,980

01:27:37,980 --> 01:27:39,980

1663
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:44,880

1667
01:27:51,420 --> 01:27:52,180
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that could shift

01:27:52,180 --> 01:27:55,640
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: during this El Nino phenomenon

1669
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:56,640

Rep. Brian Poe: So, just to be clear, Madam Chair,

1685
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:27,960
Rep. Brian Poe: because there's already an existing budget

1686
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:29,260

1687
01:28:29,700 --> 01:28:31,780

1695
01:28:45,820 --> 01:28:47,440
Rep. Brian Poe: if you would be open to it, since there's already

1697
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:51,000

01:29:10,220 --> 01:29:12,440

1705
01:29:13,580 --> 01:29:15,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: I would like to support

1706
01:29:15,300 --> 01:29:18,440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the recommendation of the Honorable Poe.

1707
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:19,980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Next month, we really need

1708
01:29:19,980 --> 01:29:21,140

01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:24,060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the production

1710
01:29:24,060 --> 01:29:25,900

01:29:30,020 --> 01:29:31,660
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And for that matter,

1714
01:29:31,860 --> 01:29:33,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: I think Region 8

1715
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:35,640
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: will be very much qualified

1716
01:29:35,660 --> 01:29:36,280
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for this,

1717
01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:38,020
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: inasmuch as we have

1718
01:29:38,020 --> 01:29:39,740

1719
01:29:39,740 --> 01:29:41,720

1720
01:29:42,060 --> 01:29:43,620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: which is

1721
01:29:43,620 --> 01:29:45,920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: not yellow but violet.

1722
01:29:49,460 --> 01:29:50,920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: This is high quality

1723
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:52,880
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and this is in demand.

1724
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:54,920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And this won't be affected

1725
01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:57,040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: by typhoons or super typhoons.

1726
01:29:57,220 --> 01:29:58,440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So I support this

1727

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yun po talaga yung naging unang inilabas

1770
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:56,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po tumugon sa pangangailangan na ating mga magsasaka

1771
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:59,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: dahil nga po ang laki nung tinaas nung presyo ng crudo

1772
01:31:59,540 --> 01:32:00,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kaya po naapektuhan natin.

1773
01:32:00,460 --> 01:32:03,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nakaapektuhan din po yung presyo ng fertilizers

1774
01:32:03,440 --> 01:32:06,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at iba pang mga kemikal at iba pang mga farm inputs.

1775
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:09,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So I was really surprised when I saw that

1776
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:12,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: PAF had zero budget in the NEP.

1777
01:32:13,020 --> 01:32:17,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So last year po, tayo po bilang BARSC din

1778
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:21,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and of course upon the...

1779
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:24,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: directive of Speaker

1780
01:32:24,940 --> 01:32:27,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Bojie Dy. Talaga pong inilaban po

1781
01:32:27,180 --> 01:32:29,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to ni Speaker last year.

1782
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:31,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nakapaglagay po

1783
01:32:31,340 --> 01:32:33,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: tayo ng 10 billion pesos

1784
01:32:33,220 --> 01:32:35,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para sa Presidential Assistance to

1785
01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:36,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Farmers and Fisher Folk. So

1786
01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:39,140

1787
01:32:39,140 --> 01:32:40,400

1788
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:42,560

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to the members of the BARSC

01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:53,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: put 10 billion pesos

1794
01:32:53,100 --> 01:32:54,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for PAF.

1795
01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:56,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Zero po siya ngayon sa NEP.

1796
01:32:57,380 --> 01:32:59,400

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is we could put 10 billion

1798
01:33:01,260 --> 01:33:02,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pesos towards PAF.

1799
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:04,170

1800
01:33:04,170 --> 01:33:05,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes po, SDS Din.

01:33:05,420 --> 01:33:07,240
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Hindi pa naman tapos

1802
01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:08,640

1803
01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:11,240

01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:13,260
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: ito sa ating mga farmers

1805
01:33:13,260 --> 01:33:14,600
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: and fisher folks.

1806
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:17,280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So I think we have to continue

1807
01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:18,700
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: to support them kasi

1808
01:33:18,700 --> 01:33:21,300
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: hindi pa naman lifted yung

1809
01:33:21,300 --> 01:33:23,260
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: crisis. At saka itong program

1810
01:33:23,260 --> 01:33:25,440
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: na tinulak ni Speaker nung nakaraan

1811
01:33:25,440 --> 01:33:26,940

1820
01:33:43,440 --> 01:33:45,220

1822
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:48,980

1823
01:33:48,980 --> 01:33:51,220

01:34:01,020 --> 01:34:03,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the 2027 budget

1830
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:07,320

01:34:41,060 --> 01:34:42,060
Rep. Brian Poe: Just a manifestation.

1850
01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:44,740
Rep. Brian Poe: From personal experience, kasi

1851
01:34:44,740 --> 01:34:47,200
Rep. Brian Poe: during the crisis, nag-conduct kami

1852
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:49,120
Rep. Brian Poe: ng consultations with farmers and

1853
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:51,220
Rep. Brian Poe: fisher folk in Pangasinan. And there are

1854
01:34:51,220 --> 01:34:53,200
Rep. Brian Poe: two major complaints or there are

1855
01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:54,740
Rep. Brian Poe: two major concerns where

1856
01:34:54,740 --> 01:34:57,160
Rep. Brian Poe: yung fuel subsidies for the fisher

1857
01:34:57,160 --> 01:34:59,260
Rep. Brian Poe: folk because it was

1858
01:34:59,260 --> 01:35:01,080
Rep. Brian Poe: becoming so inefficient. And

1859
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:03,120
Rep. Brian Poe: second was yung concerns

1860
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:05,340
Rep. Brian Poe: sila sa fertilizer.

1861
01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:07,020
Rep. Brian Poe: This budget directly

1862
01:35:07,020 --> 01:35:08,620
Rep. Brian Poe: addresses both those concerns.

1863
01:35:09,140 --> 01:35:11,200
Rep. Brian Poe: So I hope that our amendments

1864
01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:13,060
Rep. Brian Poe: here in BARSC are maintained all

1865
01:35:13,060 --> 01:35:15,200
Rep. Brian Poe: throughout the budget season, even

1866
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:17,220
Rep. Brian Poe: leading into BICAM. I know our

1867
01:35:17,220 --> 01:35:19,240
Rep. Brian Poe: friends in the Senate are also

1868
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:19,680
Rep. Brian Poe: watching.

1869
01:35:21,220 --> 01:35:22,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Representative Brian Poe.

1870
01:35:23,660 --> 01:35:25,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any other manifestations po

01:35:25,660 --> 01:35:27,040

01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:27,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes.

1873
01:35:27,680 --> 01:35:28,380
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Very short.

1874
01:35:29,500 --> 01:35:31,000
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Hopefully, Madam Chair, we could also

1875
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:32,120
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: put on

1876
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:35,000
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: maybe a provision that it would

1877
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:36,480
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: be easier

1878
01:35:36,480 --> 01:35:38,500
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: for farmers,

1879
01:35:39,340 --> 01:35:41,160
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: especially workers, to access

1880
01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:41,700
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: PAF.

1881
01:35:42,860 --> 01:35:45,200
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: For example, Madam Chair, we actually

1882
01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:47,200
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: have farmers in the province

1883
01:35:47,200 --> 01:35:49,060
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: who actually

1884
01:35:49,060 --> 01:35:51,200
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: farms high-valued crops,

1885
01:35:51,220 --> 01:35:53,220
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: for around only about

1886
01:35:53,220 --> 01:35:55,000
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: 500 to

1887
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:56,580
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: 1,000 square meters.

1888
01:35:57,700 --> 01:35:59,040
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Tapos minsan ang requirement

1889
01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:00,540
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: is an hectare or two.

1890
01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:02,660
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: So they cannot avail.

1891
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:05,140
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Others, Madam Chair,

1892
01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:07,160
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: there's this

1893
01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:08,460
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: also one example

1894
01:36:08,460 --> 01:36:11,340
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: na farm worker,

1895
01:36:11,480 --> 01:36:13,180
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Kawawa. Tapos

1896
01:36:13,180 --> 01:36:14,220
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: he works,

1897
01:36:15,100 --> 01:36:16,560
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: there's a landlord,

1898
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:18,860
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: he works and tills the farm,

1899
01:36:18,860 --> 01:36:19,500
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: and

1900
01:36:19,500 --> 01:36:23,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: when assistance for PAF

1901
01:36:23,100 --> 01:36:25,200
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: are given, the landlord

1902
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:26,400
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: gets the PAF,

1903
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:29,180
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: not the farm worker. So maybe

1904
01:36:29,180 --> 01:36:30,780
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: later, Madam Chair,

1905
01:36:31,140 --> 01:36:32,780
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: we will be able to

1906
01:36:32,780 --> 01:36:34,900
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: put in a provision that

1907
01:36:34,900 --> 01:36:37,080
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: these farm workers will also

1908
01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:38,860
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: be given opportunity

1909
01:36:38,860 --> 01:36:40,720
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: to accept and receive PAF,

1910
01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:42,920
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Madam Chair. Thank you,

1911
01:36:43,200 --> 01:36:44,170
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Madam Chair.

1912

01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:53,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ngayon, yung PAF, pag dinignan nyo po

1917
01:36:53,520 --> 01:36:55,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung guidelines ng DA

1918
01:36:55,040 --> 01:36:57,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: patungkol sa PAF, nakalimit lang po

1919
01:36:57,740 --> 01:36:59,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sa RSBSA members.

1920
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:01,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So yun po yung nangyayari.

1921
01:37:01,340 --> 01:37:03,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I agree po, ang paminsan daw po,

1922
01:37:03,880 --> 01:37:04,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ang rinireklamo,

1923
01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:07,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nakapangalan nga po yung lupa doon sa isang tao,

1924
01:37:07,860 --> 01:37:09,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pero hindi na talaga siya yung

1925
01:37:09,080 --> 01:37:11,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: umaani doon. Pero yun po

1926
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:13,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung nabibigyan na assistance, yung mismong

1927
01:37:13,660 --> 01:37:15,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nag-aalaga po

1928
01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:17,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nung sakahan, hindi nakakatanggap.

1929
01:37:17,620 --> 01:37:19,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, we'll explore that po,

1930
01:37:19,500 --> 01:37:21,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because I think we

1931
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:23,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: need to talk to DA

1932
01:37:23,420 --> 01:37:24,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: about it. Kasi,

1933
01:37:25,360 --> 01:37:27,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Mark, please correct me if I'm wrong,

1934
01:37:27,640 --> 01:37:29,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but I looked at the guidelines

1935
01:37:29,360 --> 01:37:31,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of PAF, and it really limits

1936
01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:33,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the beneficiaries to

1937
01:37:33,480 --> 01:37:35,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: RSBSA members,

1938
01:37:35,480 --> 01:37:37,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and in the case of the previous distribution po,

1939
01:37:38,140 --> 01:37:39,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: they limited it to two hectares

1940
01:37:39,660 --> 01:37:41,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and below. So,

1941
01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:43,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we can talk po,

1942
01:37:43,540 --> 01:37:45,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Mark is here also, we can facilitate

1943
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:47,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: discussions po with the Department

1944
01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:49,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of Agriculture to hopefully revise,

1945
01:37:49,500 --> 01:37:51,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: their guidelines, para po mas madami po tayong

1946
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:53,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: matulungan at mag-qualify po

1947
01:37:53,580 --> 01:37:54,390
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sa PAF. Thank you.

1948
01:37:54,390 --> 01:37:55,340
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair,

1949
01:37:55,580 --> 01:37:57,480
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: anyway, in support of the Honorable

1950
01:37:57,480 --> 01:37:59,600
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Deputy Speaker Emano, and of

1951
01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:00,440
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: course, the Honorable Chair,

1952
01:38:01,140 --> 01:38:03,800
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: may also just put on record

1953
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:05,220
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to also include

1954
01:38:05,220 --> 01:38:07,360
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: members of the FishR

1955
01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:09,640
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: registry system. Unfortunately,

1956
01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:11,400
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair,

1957
01:38:11,580 --> 01:38:12,740
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: only those

1958
01:38:12,740 --> 01:38:15,440
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: under the BoatR registry

1959
01:38:15,440 --> 01:38:16,540
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: system were included.

1960
01:38:17,420 --> 01:38:19,360
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, kawawa naman, Madam Chair, yung

1961
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:20,740
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: mas marami na

1962
01:38:20,740 --> 01:38:23,300
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: mas nangangailangan, walang bangka,

1963
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:25,300
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: umuupa lang, sila pa yung

1964
01:38:25,300 --> 01:38:27,660
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: nawawalan ng suporta, sa listahan

1965
01:38:27,660 --> 01:38:29,520
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: sa pagbibigyan ng suporta. So, just to

1966
01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:31,200
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: manifest that, Madam Chair. Thank you.

1967
01:38:31,320 --> 01:38:33,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Chair Mark. I agree. Ngayon po,

1968
01:38:33,220 --> 01:38:35,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nakalimit sa RSBSA and BoatR.

1969
01:38:36,140 --> 01:38:37,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, may I

1970
01:38:37,460 --> 01:38:39,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: direct the Committee Secretariat

1971
01:38:39,600 --> 01:38:41,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to please note that down as a

1972
01:38:41,540 --> 01:38:43,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: special provision that we may want to put

1973
01:38:43,440 --> 01:38:45,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: under PAF. We just

1974
01:38:45,460 --> 01:38:47,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: need to coordinate with DA because they would have

1975
01:38:47,420 --> 01:38:48,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to revise their guidelines also.

1976
01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:49,750
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you po.

1977
01:38:49,750 --> 01:38:50,440
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Madam Chair.

1978
01:38:50,580 --> 01:38:53,240
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Yes, Vice Chair. And then, Representative

1979
01:38:53,240 --> 01:38:55,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: or Vice Chair Arnie Fuentebella.

1980
01:38:57,920 --> 01:38:59,340
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Delay in the implementation.

1981
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:01,420
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: I think may certain

1982
01:39:01,420 --> 01:39:03,360
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: areas may nagkaroon ng delay,

1983
01:39:03,740 --> 01:39:05,040
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: especially on the FISH-R folks.

1984
01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:07,480
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Kasi from DA to

1985
01:39:07,480 --> 01:39:09,340
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: BFAR. So, doon medyo

1986
01:39:09,340 --> 01:39:11,220
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: downloading to BFAR,

1987
01:39:11,300 --> 01:39:13,860
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: BFAR ang magbibigay

1988
01:39:13,860 --> 01:39:15,580
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: sa FISH-R folks.

1989
01:39:15,580 --> 01:39:17,460
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Doon yata nagkaroon ng delay na

1990
01:39:17,460 --> 01:39:19,340
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: until now, yung iba, hindi pa naka-

1991
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:20,700
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: tanggap. So, I think that's

1992
01:39:20,700 --> 01:39:23,120
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: we have to consider and remind

1993
01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:25,400
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: DA na with these funds,

1994
01:39:25,580 --> 01:39:26,600
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: dapat pagbinigay,

1995
01:39:27,620 --> 01:39:29,520
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: dapat mabilis. Thank you, Madam Chair.

1996
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:30,280
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Yeah.

1997
01:39:31,060 --> 01:39:33,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Vice Chair. Arnie Fuentebella.

1998
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:35,480
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Madam Chair, I think they have to fix the data.

1999
01:39:36,340 --> 01:39:37,240
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kasi karamihan po,

2000
01:39:37,460 --> 01:39:38,740
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mali-mali yung data nila.

2001
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:41,240
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And ang target talaga last year,

2002
01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:42,680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ni Speaker Bojie was

2003
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:44,700
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 10,000 per farmer.

2004
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:47,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But since lumawak

2005
01:39:47,420 --> 01:39:48,700
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: po yung binigyan,

2006
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:51,500
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: is naging 2,325,

2007
01:39:51,620 --> 01:39:53,380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: may butal pa. So, doon po

2008
01:39:53,380 --> 01:39:55,580
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nahihirapan. So, kung maayos

2009
01:39:55,580 --> 01:39:57,560
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: lang po sana yung data ng DA,

2010
01:39:58,220 --> 01:39:59,340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mas mabilis po natin,

2011
01:39:59,500 --> 01:40:00,720
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pwedeng ipamigay yung PAF.

2012
01:40:01,980 --> 01:40:03,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Vice Chair Arnie.

2013
01:40:04,140 --> 01:40:05,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Actually, that's a really

2014
01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:07,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: good point po, which I want to raise to

2015
01:40:07,780 --> 01:40:09,840

01:40:09,840 --> 01:40:11,900

2017
01:40:11,900 --> 01:40:13,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: make sure wala pong duplicates. I think

2018
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:15,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ang nangyari din po, there were

2019
01:40:15,700 --> 01:40:17,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: farmers that were registered as both

2020
01:40:17,700 --> 01:40:19,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: rice farmers and

2021
01:40:19,200 --> 01:40:21,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: vegetable farmers. Tapos, they did not

2022
01:40:21,700 --> 01:40:23,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: know how to account for that

2023
01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:25,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the previous distribution. So,

2024
01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:27,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: DA, please, ano po, pakiayos

2025

01:55:09,660 --> 01:55:11,000

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

2303
01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:28,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Is that it for DNR, Honorable Alvarez?

2304
01:55:29,300 --> 01:55:31,400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay. So, can we show the

2305
01:55:31,400 --> 01:55:34,780

2314
01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:12,300
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: I will be proposing some inclusions for the Presidential Communications Office because I believe, Mr. Chair, that information is not just knowledge. It is a foundation of accountability.

2315
01:56:12,300 --> 01:56:23,400
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: And an informed public is better equipped to ask questions, challenge inconsistencies, and demand responsible action if we are well informed.

2316
01:56:23,400 --> 01:56:35,820
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: So, there are three agencies that will be, actually four agencies that will ask for additional funding for their budgets.

2320
01:56:55,280 --> 01:56:57,300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay. So, there is a motion?

2321
01:56:57,680 --> 01:57:03,760
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: There's a motion that we increase the budget of the PCO Proper by 25 million.

2322
01:57:04,140 --> 01:57:07,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay. Julie Seconded, any objections?

2323
01:57:08,140 --> 01:57:10,660

01:57:13,380 --> 01:57:19,120
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: I also move for the proposed amount of increase in the budget.

2327
01:57:19,140 --> 01:57:40,020
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: This is for the subsidy and the requirement of the lawful salaries and compensation of IBC 13 employees based on the GCG-approved organizational structure and staffing pattern under the Compensation and Position Classification System, or CPCS 2.

2328
01:57:40,720 --> 01:57:48,020
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: The amount proposed, Mr. Chair, which I will move, is 35,985,750.

2329
01:57:49,140 --> 01:57:51,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay. So, there's a motion.

2330
01:57:52,980 --> 01:57:55,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Julie Seconded, any objections?

2331
01:57:57,280 --> 01:58:00,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Hearing none, motion is approved.

2332
01:58:00,920 --> 01:58:03,720

2333
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:13,400
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: The next item is the proposal of PCO-PIA, the Philippine Information Agency.

2334
01:58:14,140 --> 01:58:18,720
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: They are proposing a 12 million increase for rental of temporary offices.

2335
01:58:19,140 --> 01:58:21,160
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: and operational space during the

2336
01:58:21,160 --> 01:58:23,780
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: retrofitting and renovation of the PIA building.

2337
01:58:23,800 --> 01:58:35,140
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: During the budget deliberations, Mr. Chair, which I was present, the PIA specified that the building structure is occupied by so many BATs already.

2338
01:58:35,140 --> 01:58:45,720
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: So, I think that they need to rent first so that we can get it fixed so that to provide a good working environment for our employees of the PIA.

2339
01:58:46,280 --> 01:58:48,840
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: So, I move to increase the budget.

2340
01:58:49,140 --> 01:58:50,320
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: by 12 million.

2341
01:58:51,240 --> 01:58:53,240

2666
02:10:19,900 --> 02:10:20,520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And just for the record, Mr. Chair,

2667
02:10:20,520 --> 02:10:25,200
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: may I appeal to give the entire amount just for the record.

2668
02:10:25,200 --> 02:10:27,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Duly noted, Honorable Fuentebella.

2669
02:10:27,520 --> 02:10:28,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yeah.

2670
02:10:28,020 --> 02:10:30,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, is that the total for ERC already?

2671
02:10:30,900 --> 02:10:31,860
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Yes, Mr. Chair.

2672
02:10:31,860 --> 02:10:35,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: May we flash that on the screen for everyone to see?

2673
02:10:35,020 --> 02:10:39,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, yun po, yung tatlong 25 million.

2674
02:10:39,900 --> 02:10:42,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, total is 75 million.

2675
02:10:42,180 --> 02:10:47,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yung sa PCO pala, can we post that as well,

2676
02:10:47,380 --> 02:10:50,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung earlier agency for everyone to see?

2677
02:10:50,520 --> 02:10:51,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: As well?

2678
02:10:58,120 --> 02:11:01,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Tama ba? Okay.

2679
02:11:01,900 --> 02:11:05,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, very clear.

2680
02:11:05,900 --> 02:11:08,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: May we proceed with the next agency,

2681
02:11:08,520 --> 02:11:10,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Honorable Fuentebella, you're recognized.

2682
02:11:10,520 --> 02:11:12,520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

2683
02:11:12,520 --> 02:11:16,520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I move to appropriate 10 million

2684
02:11:16,520 --> 02:11:19,180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: for the LG NAPOLCOM

2685
02:11:19,180 --> 02:11:20,520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: for strengthening

2686
02:11:20,520 --> 02:11:22,180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: independent police oversight

2687
02:11:22,180 --> 02:11:25,280
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: through confidential and intelligence funds.

2688
02:11:25,280 --> 02:11:29,020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Mr. Chair, just for the record,

2689
02:11:29,020 --> 02:11:32,940
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: NAPOLCOM had 4,000 cases,

2690
02:11:32,940 --> 02:11:35,060
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 25 years backlog,

2691
02:11:35,060 --> 02:11:37,140
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: and now zero na po sila.

2692
02:11:37,140 --> 02:11:39,600
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, this is a very small amount.

2693
02:11:39,600 --> 02:11:41,860
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: This is a functioning agency

2694
02:11:41,860 --> 02:11:44,520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: on where we discipline and police,

2695
02:11:44,520 --> 02:11:46,140
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: our policemen.

2696
02:11:46,140 --> 02:11:48,140
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, with this 10 million,

2697
02:11:48,140 --> 02:11:52,400
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I think, Mr. Chair, it's very small amount.

2698
02:11:52,400 --> 02:11:53,400
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: requested by the NAPOLCOM,

2699
02:11:53,400 --> 02:11:55,900
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: so I move for the appropriation of 10 million.

2700
02:11:56,890 --> 02:11:57,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: there's a motion.

2701
02:11:57,900 --> 02:11:58,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Duly seconded.

2702
02:11:58,900 --> 02:12:01,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Any objections?

2703
02:12:01,900 --> 02:12:03,900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Hearing none, motion is approved.

2704
02:12:03,900 --> 02:12:05,120

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

2706
02:12:07,900 --> 02:12:09,900
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I move for the

2707
02:12:09,900 --> 02:12:11,900
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: approval of the establishment

2708
02:12:11,900 --> 02:12:17,840
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: of the PNP Counterterrorism Center.

2709
02:12:17,900 --> 02:12:19,900
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: It is not only a counterterrorism center,

2710
02:12:19,900 --> 02:12:21,640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: counter-terrorism center,

2711
02:12:22,260 --> 02:12:23,120
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: but it will be

2712
02:12:23,120 --> 02:12:25,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: the data

2713
02:12:25,420 --> 02:12:26,900
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: bank,

2714
02:12:27,960 --> 02:12:29,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: even the operation center.

2715
02:12:29,880 --> 02:12:31,380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, one building,

2716
02:12:31,620 --> 02:12:33,000
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nandoon na po lahat, operations,

2717
02:12:33,700 --> 02:12:35,820
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: data, cyber crime,

2718
02:12:36,460 --> 02:12:37,340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: cyber security,

2719
02:12:37,680 --> 02:12:38,820
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: etc. So,

2720
02:12:39,200 --> 02:12:41,380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: actually, the proposal is

2721
02:12:41,380 --> 02:12:43,620
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 500 million

2722
02:12:43,620 --> 02:12:44,920
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: and

2723
02:12:44,920 --> 02:12:47,460
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: hope we can give

2724
02:12:47,460 --> 02:12:48,220
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 200.

2725
02:12:49,900 --> 02:12:52,140
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But, if the fiscal

2726
02:12:52,140 --> 02:12:53,460
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: space is small,

2727
02:12:54,260 --> 02:12:58,200
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I move to appropriate

2728
02:12:58,200 --> 02:13:00,160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 100 million.

2729
02:13:01,680 --> 02:13:02,760
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Mr. Chair?

2730
02:13:05,820 --> 02:13:07,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I know how valuable

2731
02:13:07,960 --> 02:13:09,740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: this project is. I just want

2732
02:13:09,740 --> 02:13:12,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to ask if this project

2733
02:13:12,040 --> 02:13:13,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: is shovel-ready, para

2734
02:13:13,960 --> 02:13:16,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: hindi na po ma-delay once we

2735
02:13:16,040 --> 02:13:17,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: appropriate the funding.

2736
02:13:18,640 --> 02:13:21,730
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Shovel-ready po siya, ibig sabihin, ready to...

2737
02:13:21,730 --> 02:13:22,720
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Yes, actually, I have

2738
02:13:22,720 --> 02:13:24,100
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: everything. That's why I'm moving for the 200

2739
02:13:24,100 --> 02:13:26,040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: because yung IT

2740
02:13:26,040 --> 02:13:27,600
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pa lang po will cost 150.

2741
02:13:28,260 --> 02:13:30,000
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, we have the design, we have

2742
02:13:30,000 --> 02:13:32,280
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: the structure, we have everything.

2743
02:13:32,700 --> 02:13:34,520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, bago po sila nag-propose,

2744
02:13:35,140 --> 02:13:36,500
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: is kinumpleto po nila.

2745
02:13:37,360 --> 02:13:38,100
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, even

2746
02:13:38,100 --> 02:13:40,100
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: lahat po, per floor up to the

2747
02:13:40,100 --> 02:13:41,960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 6th floor, it's a

2748
02:13:41,960 --> 02:13:44,180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: complete design and I'm willing to give

2749
02:13:44,180 --> 02:13:45,520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: the data

2750
02:13:45,520 --> 02:13:47,020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: to the BARSC

2751
02:13:47,020 --> 02:13:49,820
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: members or even in the plenary.

2752
02:13:49,900 --> 02:13:51,660
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Okay? Na kompleto. That's why

2753
02:13:51,660 --> 02:13:53,800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I'm really asking

2754
02:13:53,800 --> 02:13:54,260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: for

2755
02:13:54,260 --> 02:13:59,320
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 200. But,

2756
02:13:59,780 --> 02:14:01,600
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: kung 100 lang po talaga yung kaya,

2757
02:14:02,240 --> 02:14:03,780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: so, dun muna po siguro tayo

2758
02:14:03,780 --> 02:14:06,040
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: because, just to

2759

02:14:17,020 --> 02:14:17,540
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Okay?

2766
02:14:18,020 --> 02:14:19,860
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Hindi po ito sinasabi because,

2767
02:14:19,900 --> 02:14:22,260
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: for operations

2768
02:14:22,260 --> 02:14:23,540
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: purposes.

2769
02:14:24,500 --> 02:14:25,660

2777
02:14:39,800 --> 02:14:41,840
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, this should

2778
02:14:41,840 --> 02:14:43,100
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: be a composite team.

2779
02:14:43,800 --> 02:14:46,240
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: May DSWD, PNP,

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: even lalo yung IT natin,

2784
02:14:54,720 --> 02:14:56,460

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 505

2810
02:15:47,560 --> 02:15:49,340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: because the 505

02:15:49,900 --> 02:15:51,620

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Okay.

2817
02:16:03,960 --> 02:16:05,380

02:16:06,180 --> 02:16:08,120
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: napaka-importante since it's a

2819

02:19:27,440 --> 02:19:29,100
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: May I add also, just for the record,

2894
02:19:29,780 --> 02:19:33,060
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: there's a proposed special provision for NAPOLCOM

2895
02:19:33,060 --> 02:19:37,500
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: since they have properties na hindi po napupunta sa kanila yung rental.

2896
02:19:38,340 --> 02:19:40,680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So sana lang po mapunta lang sa kanila.

2897
02:19:41,380 --> 02:19:43,060
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So just for the record, Mr. Chair.

2898
02:19:43,660 --> 02:19:45,760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So we will be waiting for that special provision.

2899
02:19:45,760 --> 02:19:47,380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Actually, I've submitted it already

2900
02:19:47,380 --> 02:19:50,200
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: to the Secretariat

2901
02:19:50,200 --> 02:19:52,000
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: for the proposed special provision.

2902
02:19:52,160 --> 02:19:52,820
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Just for the record.

2903
02:19:53,440 --> 02:19:55,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If I may po, SPC, just a quick question po.

2904
02:19:55,560 --> 02:19:57,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Is it retained?

2905
02:19:58,120 --> 02:20:00,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Pag-retained po ng income?

2906
02:20:00,960 --> 02:20:01,160
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Yes.

2907
02:20:01,440 --> 02:20:02,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Use of income?

2908
02:20:02,120 --> 02:20:02,420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Yes.

2909
02:20:02,860 --> 02:20:04,820
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: They have properties sa BGC.

2910
02:20:06,100 --> 02:20:08,640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Pwede po nilang gamitin yung rental na yan

2911
02:20:08,640 --> 02:20:11,180
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: for operating expenses, capital outlay.

2912
02:20:11,680 --> 02:20:13,700
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Since iiwan na po sila ng DILG

2913
02:20:13,700 --> 02:20:16,400
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: and if you visit the NAPOLCOM office, ma'am,

2914
02:20:16,400 --> 02:20:19,700
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nakakaawa po talaga sila.

2915
02:20:20,460 --> 02:20:23,240
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Okay, so, yung properties lang nila,

2916
02:20:23,360 --> 02:20:24,920
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yun lang gusto sana nilang makuha.

2917
02:20:25,060 --> 02:20:26,120
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Yung mga rentals noon,

2918
02:20:26,860 --> 02:20:29,880
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sana po magamit nila sa capital outlay nila

2919
02:20:29,880 --> 02:20:31,020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: and MOOE.

2920
02:20:36,960 --> 02:20:38,300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay, thank you.

2921
02:20:38,820 --> 02:20:40,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, next agency,

2922
02:20:40,740 --> 02:20:43,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: what is the pleasure of the body?

2923
02:20:55,560 --> 02:20:57,090
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Mr. Chair, DOJ muna.

2924
02:21:15,400 --> 02:21:15,970
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: DOJ?

2925
02:21:16,400 --> 02:21:16,940
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: O, sige.

2926
02:21:18,320 --> 02:21:18,800
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Sige.

2927
02:21:19,660 --> 02:21:20,640
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: O, sige, it's okay.

2928
02:21:34,260 --> 02:21:39,420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, next, we would like to recognize Kong Onchuan.

2929
02:21:41,080 --> 02:21:42,680
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

2930
02:21:44,240 --> 02:21:46,280
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: With the constant,

2931
02:21:46,400 --> 02:21:48,800
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: very unstable fuel prices

2932
02:21:48,800 --> 02:21:50,360
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: being encountered

2933
02:21:50,360 --> 02:21:54,040
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: and with the Middle East crisis

2934
02:21:54,040 --> 02:21:55,880
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: and the Ukraine-Russia war,

2935
02:21:57,720 --> 02:21:59,080
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: this representation is

2936
02:21:59,080 --> 02:22:01,860
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: does agree with

2937
02:22:01,860 --> 02:22:04,540
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: Secretary Giovanni Lopez

2938
02:22:04,540 --> 02:22:05,780
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: to

2939
02:22:05,780 --> 02:22:07,780
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: give

2940
02:22:07,780 --> 02:22:10,000
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: the proposal of

2941
02:22:10,000 --> 02:22:13,100
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: 500 million pesos

2942
02:22:13,100 --> 02:22:15,660
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: for the service contracting program

2943
02:22:16,380 --> 02:22:20,840
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: Which has a zero fund for the NEP 2027.

2944
02:22:20,840 --> 02:22:26,160
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: So, wala pong budget, zero.

2945
02:22:27,160 --> 02:22:28,540
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: And we feel,

2946
02:22:29,400 --> 02:22:33,340
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: even Akbayan Representative Perci Cendaña

2947
02:22:33,340 --> 02:22:37,140
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: reiterated that the service contracting program

2948
02:22:37,140 --> 02:22:38,600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: is of valuable help

2949
02:22:38,600 --> 02:22:42,500
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: to the constituents.

2950
02:22:42,500 --> 02:22:45,760
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: So, I move,

2951
02:22:46,380 --> 02:22:54,500
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: that the SCP program be given a budget of 500 million pesos.

2952
02:22:54,500 --> 02:22:55,500
Committee member/seconding voice: I second.

2953
02:22:55,500 --> 02:22:57,160
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: I so move.

2954
02:22:57,160 --> 02:22:59,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, before we act on the motion,

2955
02:22:59,960 --> 02:23:03,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: just a little information for our BARSC members.

2956
02:23:03,500 --> 02:23:06,200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Nung 2026 BICAM,

2957
02:23:06,200 --> 02:23:08,200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: zero din po ito.

2958
02:23:08,200 --> 02:23:11,200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: But our contingent proposed

2959
02:23:11,200 --> 02:23:15,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to put or to allocate 1 billion for this,

2960
02:23:15,600 --> 02:23:18,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: not knowing na magkakaroon ng energy crisis

2961
02:23:18,220 --> 02:23:19,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or war in Iran.

2962
02:23:20,260 --> 02:23:21,720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, when the war broke out,

2963
02:23:22,220 --> 02:23:24,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: may pinagugutan kagad ang DOTR,

2964
02:23:24,840 --> 02:23:25,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ang executive,

2965
02:23:26,260 --> 02:23:27,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para itulong sa ating mga

2966
02:23:27,680 --> 02:23:29,980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: drivers and operators.

2967
02:23:30,580 --> 02:23:30,760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So,

2968
02:23:31,220 --> 02:23:33,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: we're surprised to know na zero pa rin

2969
02:23:33,860 --> 02:23:36,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ngayong 2027 proposed budget.

2970
02:23:37,120 --> 02:23:37,840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, thus,

2971
02:23:38,440 --> 02:23:40,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the sponsor is

2972
02:23:40,000 --> 02:23:42,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: moving to allocate

2973
02:23:42,340 --> 02:23:43,780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 500 million

2974
02:23:43,780 --> 02:23:45,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: for this project.

2975
02:23:45,600 --> 02:23:47,600

02:24:33,600 --> 02:24:35,600

3000
02:24:35,600 --> 02:24:37,600

3013
02:25:01,600 --> 02:25:03,600

3027

02:38:19,040 --> 02:38:27,140

3354
02:38:28,640 --> 02:38:32,260
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: actually they have been tasked with a lot of work recently,

3355
02:38:33,040 --> 02:38:40,680
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: not to mention the fact that there are a lot of challenges in terms of the impact of the negative side of social media,

3356
02:38:40,680 --> 02:38:45,900
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: and that we have been seeing the influence of social media in terms of scams,

02:39:08,560 --> 02:39:15,140
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: considering that their NEP for 2027 is only 175,400,000.

3360
02:39:15,140 --> 02:39:16,140
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: In fact,

3361
02:39:16,660 --> 02:39:26,180
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: the budget of the National Bureau of Investigation has had a decrease of approximately 30% compared to the GAA of 2026.

02:40:15,900 --> 02:40:16,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: may we flash it?

3377
02:40:16,640 --> 02:40:18,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: May we flash it on the screen for everyone to see?

3378
02:40:27,380 --> 02:40:32,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So the total is 132,050,000.

3379
02:40:34,000 --> 02:40:34,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

3388
02:40:53,700 --> 02:41:01,760
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: However, considering the voluminous cases and tasks that they have been,

3389
02:41:01,760 --> 02:41:08,020
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: they are currently facing and will still be facing because of the government's thrust on accountability

3390
02:41:08,020 --> 02:41:15,280
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: and the serious thrust of the national government in terms of accountability, especially on

3395
02:41:21,820 --> 02:41:23,740
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: will not be sufficient enough,

3396
02:41:24,640 --> 02:41:26,160
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: especially in terms of

3397
02:41:26,160 --> 02:41:28,160
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: the benefits of their personnel

3398
02:41:28,160 --> 02:41:29,940

02:45:27,120 --> 02:45:41,620
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Yeah, with the upcoming, surely, and scientifically determined onset of a super-lanino, water-lanino, super-lanino.

3478
02:45:45,560 --> 02:45:56,220
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Hangover, super-lanino, water will be a very expensive commodity, though it is not really what they need.

3479
02:45:56,220 --> 02:46:08,720
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: As a symbol of our government giving focus on water, which will be a difficult commodity in the coming super-lanino,

3480
02:46:09,820 --> 02:46:15,420
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: may I propose that under the Local Water Utilities Administration,

3481
02:46:15,560 --> 02:46:20,640
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: whose current NEP is only 29.55 million, masyadong mababa,

3482
02:46:21,640 --> 02:46:33,920
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: we increase it, an additional 100 million pesos be augmented as an additional budget to their current NEP of 29.55.

3483
02:46:34,280 --> 02:46:35,400
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: So move, Mr. Chair.

3484
02:46:35,580 --> 02:46:35,920
Committee member/seconding voice: Second.

3485
02:46:35,920 --> 02:46:44,360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you. So there is a motion to augment the budget of LWUA to the amount of 100 million.

3486
02:46:45,560 --> 02:46:46,200
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Clarification.

3487
02:46:47,120 --> 02:46:48,420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, Honorable Alvarez.

3488
02:46:48,420 --> 02:46:51,520
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: I would like to ask where the 100 million will be used.

3489
02:46:55,200 --> 02:46:57,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: DS Garin, can you reply?

3490
02:46:58,120 --> 02:47:01,420
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: It's actually a request among the areas who had a problem.

3491
02:47:01,580 --> 02:47:08,940
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I don't have the exact list with me, Your Honor, but it was actually vetted and is with the Secretariat, but fully vetted.

3492
02:47:08,940 --> 02:47:14,000
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: The 100 million, Mr. Chair, will never be enough.

3493
02:47:14,000 --> 02:47:22,340
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: That is a minuscule amount if you talk about the incoming El Nino, not El Nido.

3494
02:47:23,000 --> 02:47:35,760
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: So, manifestation, not a motion, but after the BARSC has deliberated,

3495
02:47:35,760 --> 02:47:44,640
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: and if there is any fiscal space, we should add a little bit more.

3496
02:47:46,700 --> 02:47:49,080
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Yeah, we agree, Your Honor.

3497
02:47:49,640 --> 02:47:52,680
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Actually, I believe this is just the first BARSC.

3498
02:47:52,680 --> 02:47:59,800
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: We might have another BARSC, and any amount that will be augmented to the local water utilities administration is very welcome.

3499
02:47:59,800 --> 02:48:02,080
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: One hundred million is just a pittance, Mr. Chair.

3500
02:48:02,900 --> 02:48:04,680
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Maybe, um...

3501
02:48:07,780 --> 02:48:14,300
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: So, after all this consideration, maybe if there is something to spare, let's have some more. Thank you.

3502
02:48:14,960 --> 02:48:18,880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: The manifestation of the Honorable Alvarez is noted.

3503
02:48:20,660 --> 02:48:22,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, there's a pending motion.

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: AICS,

3588
02:53:26,480 --> 02:53:28,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: mentioning about the crisis

3589
02:53:28,240 --> 02:53:29,580
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that we are experiencing,

3590
02:53:30,680 --> 02:53:31,920
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: like the fuel crisis,

3591
02:53:33,640 --> 02:53:34,700
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: this also

3592
02:53:34,700 --> 02:53:35,980
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: serve as the

3593
02:53:35,980 --> 02:53:37,560
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: critical source

3594
02:53:37,560 --> 02:53:40,200
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: of immediate

3595
02:53:40,200 --> 02:53:42,400
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: relief initiatives that the

3596
02:53:42,400 --> 02:53:44,500
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: government had brought out

3597
02:53:44,500 --> 02:53:46,500
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to several sectors

3598
02:53:46,500 --> 02:53:47,500
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: of our community.

3599
02:53:48,340 --> 02:53:50,400
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And programs like

3600
02:53:50,400 --> 02:53:51,660
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Uplift in response

3601
02:53:51,660 --> 02:53:53,200
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to the energy crisis

3602
02:53:53,200 --> 02:53:55,900
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: or the national emergency.

3603
02:53:57,440 --> 02:53:59,560
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And the projected number

3604
02:53:59,560 --> 02:54:01,840
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for the

3605
02:54:01,840 --> 02:54:03,660
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: GA-A 2026

3606
02:54:03,660 --> 02:54:04,760
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: level

3607
02:54:04,760 --> 02:54:06,400
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: is to serve

3608
02:54:06,400 --> 02:54:09,220
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: at least 8 million

3609
02:54:09,220 --> 02:54:10,860
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: individuals.

3610
02:54:13,440 --> 02:54:14,520
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Without

3611
02:54:14,520 --> 02:54:17,440
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: if we

3612
02:54:17,440 --> 02:54:19,160
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: fail to increase this

3613
02:54:19,160 --> 02:54:20,560
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: back to its

3614
02:54:20,560 --> 02:54:23,420
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: general appropriations

3615
02:54:23,420 --> 02:54:25,160
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: level of 2026,

3616
02:54:25,720 --> 02:54:27,860
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: we might be

3617
02:54:27,860 --> 02:54:29,180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: depriving at least

3618
02:54:29,180 --> 02:54:30,900
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: 4,000 or 4 million

3619
02:54:30,900 --> 02:54:33,300
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Filipinos to avail

3620
02:54:33,300 --> 02:54:35,560
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: of this opportunity.

3621
02:54:36,300 --> 02:54:37,400
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And the fact

3622
02:54:37,400 --> 02:54:39,020
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that we are looking forward

3623
02:54:39,020 --> 02:54:41,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to the

3624
02:54:41,240 --> 02:54:42,940
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: forecast of an extreme

3625
02:54:42,940 --> 02:54:44,740
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: El Nino, God forbids,

3626
02:54:45,740 --> 02:54:46,580
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: then this may be

3627
02:54:46,580 --> 02:54:49,180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: a very good source again

3628
02:54:49,180 --> 02:54:50,640
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for this

3629
02:54:50,640 --> 02:54:52,720
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: relief

3630
02:54:52,720 --> 02:54:56,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: offers that the

3631
02:54:56,240 --> 02:54:58,680
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: national government may provide.

3632
02:55:00,100 --> 02:55:01,060
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So the

3633
02:55:01,060 --> 02:55:04,420
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: agency is looking

3634
02:55:04,420 --> 02:55:06,420
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: forward to increase this to

3635
02:55:06,420 --> 02:55:08,080
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: 76 billion.

3636
02:55:08,260 --> 02:55:10,760
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: That is a 43 billion increase.

3637
02:55:12,460 --> 02:55:14,400
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: But with the limited

3638
02:55:14,400 --> 02:55:15,760
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: fiscal space,

3639
02:55:16,580 --> 02:55:18,760
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I think a much lower amount

3640
02:55:18,760 --> 02:55:21,120
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: may be doable

3641
02:55:21,120 --> 02:55:23,280
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: and perhaps

3642
02:55:23,280 --> 02:55:25,520
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: may be still significant

3643
02:55:25,520 --> 02:55:27,680
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to provide the necessary

3644
02:55:27,680 --> 02:55:28,380
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: support

3645
02:55:28,380 --> 02:55:31,980
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to the vulnerable

3646
02:55:31,980 --> 02:55:34,180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: individuals and families

3647
02:55:34,180 --> 02:55:35,540
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that may suffer

3648
02:55:35,540 --> 02:55:37,340
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: in crisis situation.

3649
02:55:38,340 --> 02:55:39,540
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So the proposal

3650
02:55:39,540 --> 02:55:40,820
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: is to increase it

3651
02:55:40,820 --> 02:55:42,020
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to about

3652
02:55:42,020 --> 02:55:45,360
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: 25 billion

3653
02:55:45,360 --> 02:55:46,220
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: 806

3654
02:55:46,580 --> 02:55:48,720
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: million

3655
02:55:48,720 --> 02:55:49,300
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Mr. Chair.

3656
02:55:51,600 --> 02:55:52,980
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So move

3657
02:55:52,980 --> 02:55:55,020
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that the

3658
02:55:55,020 --> 02:55:56,260
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: AICS

3659
02:55:56,260 --> 02:55:58,860
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: be increased to that level.

3660
02:55:59,700 --> 02:56:01,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So there is

3661
02:56:01,380 --> 02:56:02,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: a motion

3662
02:56:02,320 --> 02:56:04,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: before we act on it.

3663
02:56:06,100 --> 02:56:07,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: May we hear from our

3664
02:56:07,440 --> 02:56:08,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: minority leader?

3665
02:56:10,100 --> 02:56:11,380
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

3666
02:56:11,660 --> 02:56:13,480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Mr. Chair, I agree with

3667
02:56:13,480 --> 02:56:15,320
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the motion of the Honorable

3668
02:56:15,320 --> 02:56:15,720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Nava.

3669
02:56:16,580 --> 02:56:17,520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: As much as

3670
02:56:17,520 --> 02:56:20,140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we would need these

3671
02:56:20,140 --> 02:56:21,480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: appropriations

3672
02:56:21,480 --> 02:56:25,600
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: especially this

3673
02:56:25,600 --> 02:56:26,540
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 2027

3674
02:56:26,540 --> 02:56:28,900
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: because of the fuel crisis

3675
02:56:28,900 --> 02:56:30,800
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and the incoming

3676
02:56:30,800 --> 02:56:33,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: super El Nino phenomenon.

3677
02:56:34,400 --> 02:56:35,040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And this is

3678
02:56:35,040 --> 02:56:36,860
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the fastest way to

3679
02:56:36,860 --> 02:56:38,380
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: help our people.

3680
02:56:39,420 --> 02:56:40,480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And the amount of

3681
02:56:40,480 --> 02:56:41,140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 29

3682
02:56:41,140 --> 02:56:44,800
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: billion 806 million

3683
02:56:44,800 --> 02:56:46,340
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: will only total to

3684
02:56:46,340 --> 02:56:49,000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 59 billion

3685
02:56:49,000 --> 02:56:49,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: which is still

3686
02:56:49,780 --> 02:56:52,440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: short of 4.8 billion

3687
02:56:52,440 --> 02:56:54,680
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: from our appropriations

3688
02:56:54,680 --> 02:56:56,180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of 6.3 billion

3689
02:56:56,180 --> 02:56:58,840
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for 2026.

3690
02:56:58,840 --> 02:57:01,020
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And if there's still

3691
02:57:01,020 --> 02:57:01,980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: a fiscal space

3692
02:57:01,980 --> 02:57:04,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: if we can still

3693
02:57:04,100 --> 02:57:04,840
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: increase this

3694
02:57:04,840 --> 02:57:06,120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: hopefully

3695
02:57:06,120 --> 02:57:08,620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: let's do it.

3696
02:57:08,720 --> 02:57:09,640
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But for the meantime

3697
02:57:09,640 --> 02:57:12,040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: let us feel comfortable

3698
02:57:12,040 --> 02:57:12,720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: with the motion

3699
02:57:12,720 --> 02:57:13,620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of the Honorable Nava.

3700
02:57:13,760 --> 02:57:15,120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So I second

3701
02:57:15,120 --> 02:57:15,560

3702
02:57:16,340 --> 02:57:17,920

02:57:32,980 --> 02:57:33,920

02:57:33,920 --> 02:57:35,880
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: is to fund

02:57:35,880 --> 02:57:38,980
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: the DSWD

3715
02:57:38,980 --> 02:57:40,200
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: flagship and emerging

3716
02:57:40,200 --> 02:57:42,040
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: programs.

3717
02:57:43,840 --> 02:57:44,520
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: There are three.

3718
02:57:44,520 --> 02:57:45,360
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: These are

3719
02:57:45,360 --> 02:57:46,320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Protect Teen,

3720
02:57:46,340 --> 02:57:49,440
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: which focus

3721
02:57:49,440 --> 02:57:51,300
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: on adolescent mothers

3722
02:57:51,300 --> 02:57:53,060
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: and their families,

3723
02:57:53,320 --> 02:57:53,720
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: of course,

3724
02:57:54,580 --> 02:57:56,660
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for children

3725
02:57:56,660 --> 02:57:58,460
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: with disabilities

3726
02:57:58,460 --> 02:58:01,660
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: and their caregivers.

3727
02:58:02,880 --> 02:58:04,320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And the project SAFE

3728
02:58:04,320 --> 02:58:06,780
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: which also addresses

3729
02:58:06,780 --> 02:58:11,260
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: online

3730
02:58:11,260 --> 02:58:15,800
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: sexual abuse victims.

3731
02:58:16,340 --> 02:58:17,740
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: For survivors.

3732
02:58:17,740 --> 02:58:23,340
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And the request

3733
02:58:23,340 --> 02:58:24,480
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: may not be catered

3734
02:58:24,480 --> 02:58:25,820
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: by the available

3735
02:58:25,820 --> 02:58:26,820
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: fiscal space.

3736
02:58:27,080 --> 02:58:29,220
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: But I think

3737
02:58:29,220 --> 02:58:31,140
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: meeting the

3738
02:58:31,140 --> 02:58:34,060
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: 2026

3739
02:58:34,060 --> 02:58:34,940
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: GAA level

3740
02:58:34,940 --> 02:58:35,900
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: would suffice.

3741
02:58:37,320 --> 02:58:39,020
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So that

3833
03:01:34,760 --> 03:01:37,260

3853
03:02:19,500 --> 03:02:21,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: this is not actually an additional

3854
03:02:21,300 --> 03:02:23,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: allocation, um, for

3855
03:02:23,000 --> 03:02:25,740

3857
03:02:27,840 --> 03:02:29,020

3858
03:02:29,520 --> 03:02:31,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we're just simply reallocating

3859
03:02:31,440 --> 03:02:33,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from the NDRRMF

3860
03:02:33,980 --> 03:02:35,960

03:02:37,880 --> 03:02:39,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: by Secretary Rex Gatchalian

3863
03:02:39,720 --> 03:02:41,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because the

3864
03:02:41,780 --> 03:02:43,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: replenishment takes so long

3865
03:02:43,280 --> 03:02:45,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because right now, if it's just at

03:02:49,780 --> 03:02:51,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: when they hit 50%,

3869
03:02:51,560 --> 03:02:53,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: maghihintay pa po sila ng several

3870
03:02:53,700 --> 03:02:56,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: weeks to several months for it to be replenished.

3871
03:02:56,160 --> 03:02:57,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, it's simply a realignment

3872
03:02:57,760 --> 03:02:59,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: within the NDRRMF.

3873

03:03:17,700 --> 03:03:18,500

3889
03:03:29,200 --> 03:03:31,180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: This is entirely a different

03:03:32,660 --> 03:03:35,000

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for much easier distribution

3896
03:03:43,640 --> 03:03:45,320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: of relief goods

3897
03:03:45,320 --> 03:03:47,480
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: in times of calamity.

3898
03:03:48,060 --> 03:03:49,700
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I think the gentleman

3899
03:03:49,700 --> 03:03:51,540
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: from Mindanao,

3900
03:03:51,560 --> 03:03:53,060
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: no less than

3901
03:03:53,060 --> 03:03:55,740
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: our Deputy Speaker,

3902
03:03:56,000 --> 03:03:57,020
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Bambi Emano, can

3903
03:03:57,020 --> 03:03:59,680
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: further provide us

3904
03:03:59,680 --> 03:04:01,780
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: a situation

3905
03:04:01,780 --> 03:04:03,280
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: there on the location

3906
03:04:03,280 --> 03:04:05,400
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: of this facility,

3907
03:04:06,180 --> 03:04:06,800
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Madam Chair,

3908
03:04:07,460 --> 03:04:07,960
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Mr. Chair.

3909
03:04:08,800 --> 03:04:10,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Deputy Speaker Emano?

3910
03:04:10,480 --> 03:04:13,460
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: I thank the good Secretary and of course the members

3911
03:04:13,460 --> 03:04:15,800
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: of BARSC that hopefully it will be considered.

3912
03:04:16,740 --> 03:04:17,920
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Bukidnon is

3913
03:04:17,920 --> 03:04:19,620
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: actually what we

3914
03:04:19,620 --> 03:04:21,480
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: call the central part of

3915
03:04:21,480 --> 03:04:22,620
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Mindanao.

3916
03:04:22,620 --> 03:04:24,840
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: So every destination

3917
03:04:24,840 --> 03:04:27,040
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: from north, south, east, west

3918
03:04:27,040 --> 03:04:29,080
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: is maximum

3919
03:04:29,080 --> 03:04:31,520
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: only six hours from Bukidnon.

3920
03:04:31,520 --> 03:04:33,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: So it would be

3921
03:04:33,100 --> 03:04:34,640
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: more, it would be,

3922
03:04:34,640 --> 03:04:36,080
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: it will just be fitting,

3923
03:04:36,080 --> 03:04:38,380
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Mr. Chair,

3924
03:04:38,380 --> 03:04:41,280
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: that we put the distribution center

3925
03:04:41,280 --> 03:04:43,920
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: in the province of Bukidnon.

3926
03:04:45,740 --> 03:04:46,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, DS.

3927
03:04:46,680 --> 03:04:49,480
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: In the town of Maramag.

3928
03:04:49,480 --> 03:04:51,480
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: That's the central Mindanao.

3929
03:04:51,480 --> 03:04:55,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC, if I may...

3930
03:04:55,480 --> 03:04:56,280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, Madam Chair.

3931
03:04:56,400 --> 03:04:59,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I just want to appeal

3932
03:04:59,820 --> 03:05:01,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to DBM

3933
03:05:01,380 --> 03:05:03,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and to DSWD

3934
03:05:03,180 --> 03:05:05,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because last year we put 500 million

3935
03:05:05,700 --> 03:05:07,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pesos towards

3936
03:05:07,340 --> 03:05:09,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the build-out of the

3937
03:05:09,420 --> 03:05:11,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: first, supposedly, the first

3938
03:05:11,760 --> 03:05:13,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: packing

3939
03:05:13,020 --> 03:05:15,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: disaster resource and support

3940
03:05:15,600 --> 03:05:17,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: center, supposedly in

3941
03:05:17,340 --> 03:05:18,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the Caraga.

3942
03:05:18,980 --> 03:05:20,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But

3943
03:05:20,020 --> 03:05:20,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: basically,

3944
03:05:21,480 --> 03:05:23,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: based on our last

3945
03:05:23,160 --> 03:05:24,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: update po,

3946
03:05:24,300 --> 03:05:27,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it hasn't been released at all.

3947
03:05:27,060 --> 03:05:29,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, zero,

3948
03:05:29,360 --> 03:05:30,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: zero release

3949
03:05:30,440 --> 03:05:33,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: out of the 500 million pesos

3950
03:05:33,000 --> 03:05:34,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that was allocated

3951
03:05:34,800 --> 03:05:37,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for which should have been

3952
03:05:37,160 --> 03:05:39,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the first disaster

3953
03:05:39,900 --> 03:05:41,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: support site in Mindanao.

3954
03:05:41,860 --> 03:05:43,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, we would like to appeal

3955
03:05:43,780 --> 03:05:45,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because again,

3956
03:05:45,200 --> 03:05:46,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: now,

3957
03:05:46,500 --> 03:05:48,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the manifestation of

3958
03:05:48,460 --> 03:05:50,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Vice Chair Rahman,

3959
03:05:50,020 --> 03:05:51,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: NAVA, and Deputy Speaker,

3960
03:05:51,060 --> 03:05:52,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Bambi Emano,

3961
03:05:52,600 --> 03:05:54,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is to appeal for a second site

3962
03:05:54,900 --> 03:05:56,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in Mindanao.

3963
03:05:56,180 --> 03:05:58,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But I am just worried po

3964
03:05:58,640 --> 03:06:01,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because the first site has not been built at all.

3965
03:06:01,560 --> 03:06:04,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, I would like to appeal to

3966
03:06:04,100 --> 03:06:05,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: DBM

3967
03:06:05,900 --> 03:06:08,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and because last year po,

3968
03:06:08,720 --> 03:06:10,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: excited na excited po

3969
03:06:10,140 --> 03:06:11,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung ating mga BARSC members

3970
03:06:11,980 --> 03:06:13,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from Mindanao

3971
03:06:13,340 --> 03:06:15,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because Luzon has a lot,

3972
03:06:15,460 --> 03:06:16,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Visayas has a lot,

3973
03:06:16,560 --> 03:06:20,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but Mindanao has no disaster support.

3974
03:06:20,840 --> 03:06:22,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And repacking center.

3975
03:06:22,640 --> 03:06:24,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, sayang naman po

3976
03:06:24,420 --> 03:06:26,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because we put 500 million

3977
03:06:26,720 --> 03:06:29,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and we put 500 million last year

3978
03:06:29,040 --> 03:06:30,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with the intention na

3979
03:06:30,320 --> 03:06:32,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: makompleto po yun

3980
03:06:32,360 --> 03:06:33,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in one year.

3981
03:06:33,640 --> 03:06:35,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Hindi lang po yung infrastructure

3982
03:06:35,680 --> 03:06:37,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but even the machines,

3983
03:06:37,480 --> 03:06:39,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the packing machines inside.

3984
03:06:39,020 --> 03:06:43,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And Representative Joboy Aquino is here po.

3985
03:06:43,360 --> 03:06:45,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: You were one of the strong advocates

3986
03:06:45,920 --> 03:06:46,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for that last year.

3987
03:06:46,960 --> 03:06:48,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yun lang po.

3988
03:06:48,240 --> 03:06:49,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nag-worry lang po ako

3989
03:06:49,520 --> 03:06:50,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because wala pa yung,

3990
03:06:50,840 --> 03:06:54,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: release nung 500 million from last year.

3991
03:06:54,420 --> 03:06:56,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, hopefully it doesn't happen

3992
03:06:56,220 --> 03:06:58,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with the second site

3993
03:06:58,260 --> 03:07:00,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that we are proposing to fund.

3994
03:07:00,820 --> 03:07:02,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you po, SVC.

3995
03:07:02,620 --> 03:07:04,160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Madam Chair.

3996
03:07:04,160 --> 03:07:08,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: We remember that project clearly from last year.

3997
03:07:08,240 --> 03:07:10,300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, Minority Leader.

3998
03:07:10,300 --> 03:07:14,400
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: I support these appropriations, Madam Chair.

3999
03:07:14,400 --> 03:07:17,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But I would like the BARSC to take notice

4000
03:07:17,460 --> 03:07:20,240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that Samar Island has no

4001
03:07:20,240 --> 03:07:23,060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: disaster resource and support center

4002
03:07:23,060 --> 03:07:24,840
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in the whole Samar Island.

4003
03:07:24,840 --> 03:07:29,960
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And we are the, I think,

4004
03:07:29,960 --> 03:07:33,040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the typhoon capital of the Philippines.

4005
03:07:33,040 --> 03:07:35,600
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So, I think we'll be needing this also.

4006
03:07:35,600 --> 03:07:36,880
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But not now, of course.

4007
03:07:36,880 --> 03:07:39,700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: In 2027, I think DSWD

4008
03:07:39,700 --> 03:07:44,040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: shall take serious notice

4009
03:07:44,040 --> 03:07:48,920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in allocating funds for the different regions.

4010
03:07:48,920 --> 03:07:49,940
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Well, it is really needed.

4011
03:07:50,240 --> 03:07:51,780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Thank you, Madam Chair.

4012
03:07:51,780 --> 03:07:53,560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: That is noted, Honorable Libanan.

4013
03:07:53,560 --> 03:07:58,580
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: In addition, the only repackaging site

4014
03:07:58,580 --> 03:08:02,780
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: in the Visayas is in Cebu, I think.

4015
03:08:02,780 --> 03:08:08,080
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And there's no such thing as a big warehousing facility

4016
03:08:08,080 --> 03:08:10,980
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: in the two other regions of the Visayas

4017
03:08:10,980 --> 03:08:17,880
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: in support of the distribution in cases of calamity.

4018
03:08:17,880 --> 03:08:20,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So, I think the idea of putting, you know,

4019
03:08:20,100 --> 03:08:24,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: putting some sort of support facility

4020
03:08:24,100 --> 03:08:26,440
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: as storage of these relief goods

4021
03:08:26,440 --> 03:08:29,540
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: is necessary for each region.

4022
03:08:29,540 --> 03:08:31,760
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: If I may expound, Mr. Chair.

4023
03:08:31,760 --> 03:08:34,760
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Sorry, I yield to the Minority Leader, Mr. Chair.

4024
03:08:34,760 --> 03:08:38,360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Yes, Madam Chair, because it was our personal experience,

4025
03:08:38,360 --> 03:08:40,520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: even my personal experience,

4026
03:08:40,520 --> 03:08:44,720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that when Super Typhoon Yolanda hit Region 8,

4027
03:08:44,720 --> 03:08:49,720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: particularly Guiuan, which was the landfall, and Tacloban,

4028
03:08:50,100 --> 03:08:55,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: our relief operations came from Legazpi City and Manila.

4029
03:08:55,100 --> 03:09:00,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So, our response time was,

4030
03:09:00,100 --> 03:09:04,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: it took us too long to reach our people.

4031
03:09:04,100 --> 03:09:09,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So, we have to reposition this, and this is a laudable project.

4032
03:09:09,100 --> 03:09:12,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But, as much as possible, we can,

4033
03:09:12,100 --> 03:09:18,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we shall place these resource and support centers

4034
03:09:18,100 --> 03:09:20,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in almost all our regions.

4035
03:09:20,100 --> 03:09:23,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And islands, if possible.

4036
03:09:23,100 --> 03:09:26,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: If I may, Mr. Chair, just to add.

4037
03:09:26,100 --> 03:09:27,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Minority Leader.

4038
03:09:27,100 --> 03:09:28,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: D.S. Emano.

4039
03:09:28,100 --> 03:09:29,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Yeah.

4040
03:09:29,100 --> 03:09:33,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Mr. Chair, the idea is for Mindanao to have its own disaster center.

4041
03:09:33,100 --> 03:09:38,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: What usually, we too had our own share of calamities, Mr. Chair.

4042
03:09:38,100 --> 03:09:40,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: And this is what happened.

4043
03:09:40,100 --> 03:09:43,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Our relief goods came from Visayas, from Cebu.

4044
03:09:43,100 --> 03:09:45,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: So, they fly it through C-130.

4045
03:09:45,100 --> 03:09:49,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: The problem is C-130 can only accommodate 6,000 packs.

4046
03:09:49,100 --> 03:09:53,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: So, they tried vessel, granting that it was way after the calamity

4047
03:09:53,100 --> 03:09:55,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: when weather was fine.

4048
03:09:55,100 --> 03:09:59,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: But the challenge was the boat can only carry 60,000 food packs.

4049
03:09:59,100 --> 03:10:04,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: We need a minimum of 3 million food packs in stock

4050
03:10:04,100 --> 03:10:07,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: if the big one comes, Mr. Chair.

4051
03:10:07,100 --> 03:10:09,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: That's why we need not only the processing,

4052
03:10:09,100 --> 03:10:13,100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: but also the distribution center, Mr. Chair.

4053
03:10:13,100 --> 03:10:16,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: That is very clear, D.S. Emano.

4054
03:10:16,100 --> 03:10:18,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, I believe you have a pending motion.

4055
03:10:18,100 --> 03:10:20,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

4056
03:10:20,100 --> 03:10:25,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: For that matter, proposed 100 million will be allocated

4057
03:10:25,100 --> 03:10:30,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for the purpose of establishing that project, Mr. Chair.

4058
03:10:30,100 --> 03:10:31,100

4061
03:10:39,100 --> 03:10:41,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Please proceed.

4062
03:10:41,100 --> 03:10:47,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Another proposal from the DSWD is to increase the appropriations

4063
03:10:47,100 --> 03:10:54,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: or allocation for the sustainable livelihood program, Mr. Chair.

4064
03:10:54,100 --> 03:11:00,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: If we remember it right, this is one program that is also being called

4065
03:11:00,100 --> 03:11:06,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: by the majority to be increased, considering this would provide

4066
03:11:06,100 --> 03:11:16,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: a more stable income source for our families who graduated from 4Ps, Mr. Chair.

4067
03:11:16,100 --> 03:11:29,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So, a proposal of 870,500,000 is being proposed

4068
03:11:29,100 --> 03:11:33,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for the increase of SLP, Mr. Chair.

4069
03:11:33,100 --> 03:11:34,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So, move.

4070
03:11:34,100 --> 03:11:35,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

4071
03:11:35,100 --> 03:11:44,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, there's a motion to increase 870,500,000 for the SLP of the DSWD.

4072
03:11:44,100 --> 03:11:45,100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Mr. Chair.

4073
03:11:45,100 --> 03:11:46,100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: I second the motion.

4074
03:11:46,100 --> 03:11:52,100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: I would like to manifest that this is a very nice program for government.

4075
03:11:52,100 --> 03:12:00,100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: It actually helps small entrepreneurs in the districts and they provide a lot of opportunities

4076
03:12:00,100 --> 03:12:08,100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: for our kababayans, especially those who don't have access to bank loans and funding from other sources.

4077
03:12:08,100 --> 03:12:15,100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: So, with government at the helm of providing such opportunities for our kababayans,

4078
03:12:15,100 --> 03:12:22,100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: I think we should institutionalize later on the sustainable livelihood program of government

4079
03:12:22,100 --> 03:12:28,100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: so that meron ng proteksyon yung ating mga kababayan pagdating sa oportunidad.

4080
03:12:28,100 --> 03:12:34,100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: And with that, Mr. Chair, I second the motion of the Honorable Rahman Nava

4081
03:12:34,100 --> 03:12:39,100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: in increasing the budget of the sustainable livelihood program of the DSWD.

4082
03:12:39,100 --> 03:12:42,100

4085
03:12:45,100 --> 03:12:55,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I also just wanted to manifest my strong support for the increase in the budget of the SLP under the DSWD

4086
03:12:55,100 --> 03:13:01,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: as well as the motion or the manifestation of Representative Yamsuan

4087
03:13:01,100 --> 03:13:05,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: as regards the institutionalization of the SLP.

4088
03:13:05,100 --> 03:13:12,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: In fact, just for the record, it was already passed in the Committee on Social Services

4089
03:13:12,100 --> 03:13:15,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: and has now moved to the Committee on Appropriations

4090
03:13:15,100 --> 03:13:20,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: and maybe we can take up after the budget season, Mr. Chair and Madam Chair.

4091
03:13:20,100 --> 03:13:21,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Thank you.

4092
03:13:21,100 --> 03:13:23,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Honorable Bautista.

4093
03:13:23,100 --> 03:13:28,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, there was a motion and it was duly seconded.

4094
03:13:28,100 --> 03:13:34,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Any objections? Hearing none, motion is approved.

4095
03:13:34,100 --> 03:13:35,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you.

4096
03:13:35,100 --> 03:13:36,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

4097
03:13:37,200 --> 03:13:38,010
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Finally—

4098
03:13:38,010 --> 03:13:38,770
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Please proceed.

4099
03:13:38,770 --> 03:13:41,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: There's another one that doesn't have any allocation.

4100
03:13:41,100 --> 03:13:45,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Any allocation at all for the NEP 2027.

4101
03:13:45,100 --> 03:13:53,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: This is the DSWD Special Committee of LGBTQA+.

4102
03:13:53,100 --> 03:13:56,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So, this is a new special committee.

4103
03:13:56,100 --> 03:14:00,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I think this had existed also last year.

4104
03:14:00,100 --> 03:14:07,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Unfortunately, there was no line budgetary item that was created for this.

4105
03:14:07,100 --> 03:14:09,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And so,

4106
03:14:09,100 --> 03:14:11,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to carry out the

4107
03:14:11,100 --> 03:14:13,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: programs

4108
03:14:13,100 --> 03:14:15,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that the Committee had envisioned,

4109
03:14:15,100 --> 03:14:21,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: they need to have the proper budgetary allocation

4110
03:14:21,100 --> 03:14:23,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for this,

4111
03:14:23,100 --> 03:14:25,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Mr. Chair.

4112
03:14:25,100 --> 03:14:26,100

4122
03:14:52,100 --> 03:14:53,100

4125
03:14:56,100 --> 03:15:02,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Mr. Chair, I also second the motion to provide funding for this because I also received,

4126
03:15:02,100 --> 03:15:05,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I also read the request for this.

4127
03:15:05,100 --> 03:15:08,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Just to add to what was mentioned by Representative Nava,

4128
03:15:08,100 --> 03:15:15,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: this committee was created under Executive Order No. 51 Series of 2023 by President Marcos,

4129
03:15:15,100 --> 03:15:17,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: creating this special committee.

4130
03:15:17,100 --> 03:15:25,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: And it's the first national level government office in Southeast Asia dedicated to advancing LGBTQIA plus rights.

4131
03:15:25,100 --> 03:15:34,100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: So, we manifest and also join our support in the increase or providing the appropriation for this committee.

03:15:45,100 --> 03:15:46,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Mr. Chair,

4141
03:15:46,100 --> 03:15:48,100

4147
03:15:55,100 --> 03:16:02,100

4148
03:16:02,100 --> 03:16:06,100

4149
03:16:06,100 --> 03:16:08,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So, we have a number of considerations.

4150
03:16:08,100 --> 03:16:15,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Protect Teen, Project Aruga, Project SAFE, Sustainable Livelihood Program,

4151
03:16:15,100 --> 03:16:22,100

4152
03:16:22,100 --> 03:16:29,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So, in behalf of the minority, we appreciate this gesture and these appropriations.

4153
03:16:29,100 --> 03:16:35,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And this will inspire us to study more and interpellate in the plenary.

4154
03:16:35,100 --> 03:16:41,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But short but crisp because we know you are listening to us.

4155
03:16:41,100 --> 03:16:43,100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

4156
03:16:43,100 --> 03:16:44,100

4157
03:16:44,100 --> 03:16:47,100

03:16:47,100 --> 03:16:48,100

4159
03:16:48,100 --> 03:16:50,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, please proceed.

4160
03:16:50,100 --> 03:16:53,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: There are four other items which I'll just manifest.

4161
03:16:53,100 --> 03:17:00,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: This would be eventually subject to any fiscal space if there will be any later.

4162
03:17:00,100 --> 03:17:03,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: But nevertheless, just a manifestation.

4163
03:17:03,100 --> 03:17:04,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Go ahead.

4164
03:17:04,100 --> 03:17:05,100

4169
03:17:31,320 --> 03:17:40,680
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: This would cover for additional or to maintain the social work positions in the regional level

4170
03:17:40,680 --> 03:17:45,320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: considering of the growing volume of adoptions, Mr. Chair.

4171
03:17:45,320 --> 03:17:58,760
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: The same way, I'd like also to include one request which is additional social pension for our senior citizens

4172
03:17:58,760 --> 03:18:09,260
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to cover the remaining 550,000 within the bracket of 70 years old and above.

4173
03:18:09,260 --> 03:18:15,260
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So if we can provide that eventually, we can cover all senior citizens.

4174
03:18:15,320 --> 03:18:19,260
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: 70 and above qualified for social pension.

4175
03:18:19,980 --> 03:18:22,320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: That's all, Mr. Chair.

4176
03:18:22,960 --> 03:18:26,900
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: That would be subject, of course, to the available fiscal space.

4177
03:18:27,690 --> 03:18:28,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, that is correct.

4178
03:18:28,600 --> 03:18:31,000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And your manifestation is duly noted.

4179
03:18:31,820 --> 03:18:32,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Maraming salamat po.

4180
03:18:36,620 --> 03:18:37,300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

4181
03:18:37,300 --> 03:18:43,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So if there are no more items in DSWD, may we flash?

4182
03:18:45,320 --> 03:18:47,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Everything on the screen?

4183
03:18:53,060 --> 03:18:56,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry, the realignment for QRF, please.

4184
03:18:57,960 --> 03:18:59,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The 1.75.

4185
03:19:01,260 --> 03:19:07,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Although, in fairness, it doesn't have an amount because it's a realignment, but can you at least put it?

4186
03:19:13,980 --> 03:19:14,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 1.75.

4187
03:19:14,940 --> 03:19:15,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Open, close parenthesis,

4188
03:19:15,320 --> 03:19:17,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 1.75 billion.

4189
03:19:24,080 --> 03:19:25,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Don't put an amount.

4190
03:19:25,860 --> 03:19:28,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Open, close parenthesis, 1.75.

4191
03:19:28,360 --> 03:19:28,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 1.75.

4192
03:19:44,040 --> 03:19:44,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

4193
03:19:44,800 --> 03:19:53,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So everyone can see all the augmentations that were done per item in the DSWD.

4194
03:19:55,340 --> 03:20:06,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And the total is 26,880,300,000.

4195
03:20:06,120 --> 03:20:07,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

4196
03:20:07,120 --> 03:20:08,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

4197
03:20:21,800 --> 03:20:25,380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: , so thank you very much.

4198
03:20:26,150 --> 03:20:34,710
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Now, I will give back the floor to the Honorable Chair of the Appropriations.

4199
03:20:34,880 --> 03:20:36,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Madam Chair.

4200
03:20:36,060 --> 03:20:37,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Pagod na talaga tayong lahat.

4201
03:20:37,980 --> 03:20:39,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, po, SVC.

4202
03:20:40,840 --> 03:20:42,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC will be sponsoring

4203
03:20:42,340 --> 03:20:44,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po, um, the SP as the—

4204
03:20:44,800 --> 03:20:52,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry, as the budget sponsor for DOH, SVC would like to advocate for some programs under the Department of Health.

4205
03:20:53,160 --> 03:20:54,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, SVC?

4206
03:20:54,400 --> 03:20:56,840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Madam Chair.

4207
03:20:57,540 --> 03:21:14,400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: We are in receipt of several letters, Madam Chair, from the DOH regarding the requests and appeals for various programs and projects under DOH.

4208
03:21:15,440 --> 03:21:19,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: But as we all understand, limited lang talaga yung ating fiscal space.

4209
03:21:19,620 --> 03:21:26,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, we focused on the most important programs and projects of the Department of Health.

4210
03:21:27,300 --> 03:21:42,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Having said that, I would like to begin with the MAIFIP program, the Medical Assistance to Indigent and Financially Incapacitated Patients.

4211
03:21:42,060 --> 03:21:44,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: The current...

4212
03:21:44,800 --> 03:22:00,060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: level of MAIFIP in the 2027 NEP is just 24,235,078,000.

4213
03:22:00,500 --> 03:22:06,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And that is much, much lower than the 2026 GAA.

4214
03:22:07,320 --> 03:22:13,800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, ito po, Madam Chair, as we all know, ito po yung tinutulong natin, especially...

4215
03:22:14,800 --> 03:22:21,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: dun sa mga pasyente na may kakulangan sa pambayad ng hospital bill at professional fee.

4216
03:22:22,100 --> 03:22:28,880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: At nakakatulong din po ito sa mga government hospitals kasi mas nasusustain yung zero-balanced billing.

4217
03:22:29,360 --> 03:22:40,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And of course, may MOA rin po ito sa mga private hospitals para yung overflow ng ating mga kababayan at napupunta sa mga private hospital ay natutulungan pa rin po natin.

4218
03:22:40,520 --> 03:22:44,520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And eventually, the goal of the Secretary of DOH...

4219
03:22:44,800 --> 03:23:07,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and the CEO of PhilHealth is talagang i-merge na po ito, pagsamahin na para ma-institutionalize na po at mas malaki ang maging or mas mababa ang maging out-of-pocket ng ating mga kababayan every time sila po in a hospital.

4220
03:23:07,320 --> 03:23:13,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, having said that, I would like to propose an additional...

4221
03:23:14,800 --> 03:23:26,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 24,965,776,000 to the MAIFIP program of the DOH.

4222
03:23:26,400 --> 03:23:27,500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, move, Madam Chair.

4223
03:23:28,940 --> 03:23:36,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion to increase the funding for DOH MAIFIP program.

4224
03:23:36,280 --> 03:23:42,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC, may I request you to repeat the amount, please? Thank you po.

4225
03:23:42,700 --> 03:23:43,580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, Madam Chair.

4226
03:23:44,800 --> 03:23:52,320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: It is 24,965,776,000.

4227
03:23:52,800 --> 03:24:00,980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And that is, to be clear po, that brings it back to the 2026 GAA level.

4228
03:24:01,820 --> 03:24:11,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, and it is about... the total would be around 49,203,854,000, Madam Chair.

4229
03:24:11,340 --> 03:24:12,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, SVC.

4230
03:24:12,480 --> 03:24:15,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion that has been duly seconded.

4231
03:24:15,660 --> 03:24:16,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any objection?

4232
03:24:17,340 --> 03:24:19,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being none, the motion is carried.

4233
03:24:19,660 --> 03:24:21,340
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Madam Chair, just a manifestation.

4234
03:24:21,640 --> 03:24:22,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, po.

4235
03:24:22,020 --> 03:24:23,260
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Madam Chair, if in...

4236
03:24:23,260 --> 03:24:24,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Deputy Speaker Emano?

4237
03:24:24,600 --> 03:24:28,440
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: In the future, if we'll be able to find more funds, if ever,

4238
03:24:28,940 --> 03:24:32,980
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: I think we should add more to the MAIFIP program

4239
03:24:32,980 --> 03:24:34,480
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: because there's this...

4240
03:24:35,300 --> 03:24:39,480
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: I think it's a bill or an action from the DOH

4241
03:24:39,480 --> 03:24:42,480
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: that might be able to...

4242
03:24:42,480 --> 03:24:48,180
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: to compel doctors to accept already PF under MAIFIP.

4243
03:24:48,760 --> 03:24:50,500
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: So if we will have the same amount,

4244
03:24:52,020 --> 03:24:54,360
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: yeah, if it would be the same amount,

4245
03:24:54,520 --> 03:24:57,660
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: so the 54 billion mentioned earlier,

4246
03:24:58,380 --> 03:24:59,320
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: kulang na naman yun.

4247
03:24:59,740 --> 03:25:02,980
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: So kung meron lang, just a manifestation, Madam Chair.

4248
03:25:03,740 --> 03:25:04,420
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Thank you.

4249
03:25:04,920 --> 03:25:05,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, po.

4250
03:25:05,920 --> 03:25:08,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC, I'll yield to you on that

4251
03:25:08,460 --> 03:25:11,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because we've been trying to refine that special provision

4252
03:25:11,580 --> 03:25:12,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: since last year.

4253
03:25:12,480 --> 03:25:15,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But the special provision is there, po,

4254
03:25:15,300 --> 03:25:16,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: wherein we provide...

4255
03:25:17,000 --> 03:25:19,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We allow, supposedly, within...

4256
03:25:19,200 --> 03:25:21,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We're authorizing, rather, in the GAA

4257
03:25:21,560 --> 03:25:27,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that up to 100% of the PF should be covered by MAIFIP

4258
03:25:27,220 --> 03:25:29,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but there is a gap in the actual implementation.

4259
03:25:30,660 --> 03:25:32,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So I'll yield to SBC

4260
03:25:32,080 --> 03:25:34,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because that's one of the things that we've been

4261
03:25:34,320 --> 03:25:36,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: trying to work out since last year, po.

4262
03:25:36,560 --> 03:25:38,140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, thank you, Madam Chair.

4263
03:25:38,380 --> 03:25:41,960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And maganda po yung plano ni Secretary Mercado

4264
03:25:41,960 --> 03:25:47,040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at ni CEO Beverly tungkol dito,

4265
03:25:47,160 --> 03:25:50,480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: they will engage the hospitals and the medical societies

4266
03:25:50,480 --> 03:25:54,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para magkakaroon ng sort of an opt-in program

4267
03:25:54,620 --> 03:25:56,120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pagdating dito

4268
03:25:56,120 --> 03:25:58,600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and this will be some of the conditions.

4269
03:25:59,260 --> 03:26:02,640
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Nang sa ganon, kapag meron ng pasyenteng na confined

4270
03:26:02,640 --> 03:26:04,940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kahit sa mga private hospital

4271
03:26:04,940 --> 03:26:07,100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and they have the opt-in program,

4272
03:26:07,660 --> 03:26:08,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: makakasama na po

4273
03:26:08,620 --> 03:26:10,180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: because they pre-agreed

4274
03:26:10,180 --> 03:26:11,820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: before signing the

4275
03:26:11,820 --> 03:26:12,200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: MOA

4276
03:26:12,200 --> 03:26:15,360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to include not only the hospital bill

4277
03:26:15,360 --> 03:26:17,860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: but also the professional fee.

4278
03:26:18,200 --> 03:26:19,140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So maganda po yung plano

4279
03:26:19,140 --> 03:26:20,260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and hopefully we go to that.

4280
03:26:20,360 --> 03:26:23,020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: That's why your manifestation is very important.

4281
03:26:24,020 --> 03:26:24,980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kung may fiscal space,

4282
03:26:25,580 --> 03:26:26,700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sana madagdagan pa natin.

4283
03:26:26,940 --> 03:26:27,620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you.

4284
03:26:28,620 --> 03:26:30,680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Honorable Emano.

4285
03:26:33,340 --> 03:26:33,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC?

4286
03:26:34,220 --> 03:26:34,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any more?

4287
03:26:34,860 --> 03:26:35,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yeah.

4288
03:26:35,500 --> 03:26:37,860
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: For medical assistance

4289
03:26:37,860 --> 03:26:40,580
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: for the indigent and financial incapacity...

4290
03:26:41,820 --> 03:26:43,460
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Financially incapable patients.

4291
03:26:44,360 --> 03:26:44,680
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Yan naman.

4292
03:26:45,380 --> 03:26:48,040
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: At the proper time, Mr. Chair,

4293
03:26:48,120 --> 03:26:49,000
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: will you be amenable

4294
03:26:49,000 --> 03:26:50,900
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: for an additional special provision?

4295
03:26:51,620 --> 03:26:52,880
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Because it's quite difficult

4296
03:26:52,880 --> 03:26:55,140
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to limit it to the indigent

4297
03:26:55,140 --> 03:26:56,480
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: where in fact we don't really have

4298
03:26:56,480 --> 03:26:58,500
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: a concrete definition of an indigent.

4299
03:26:59,240 --> 03:27:01,220
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Anyway, the protocol is there.

4300
03:27:01,340 --> 03:27:03,200
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Maybe we can...

4301
03:27:03,200 --> 03:27:04,160
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: We can just...

4302
03:27:04,160 --> 03:27:06,780
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Anyway, in the implementation of the program,

4303
03:27:06,780 --> 03:27:09,840
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: it says basic private ward

4304
03:27:09,840 --> 03:27:10,980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: as the need arises.

4305
03:27:10,980 --> 03:27:12,860
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Wala yung mga suite room.

4306
03:27:14,640 --> 03:27:16,160
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Will it be possible

4307
03:27:16,160 --> 03:27:17,040
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to bring it back

4308
03:27:17,040 --> 03:27:18,160
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to the original program

4309
03:27:18,160 --> 03:27:20,120
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: of medical assistance program

4310
03:27:20,120 --> 03:27:23,620
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: para less ang documentary requirements?

4311
03:27:24,660 --> 03:27:25,180
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: And anyway,

4312
03:27:25,400 --> 03:27:26,960
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: for the implementation,

4313
03:27:27,560 --> 03:27:28,660
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I just don't have the...

4314
03:27:28,660 --> 03:27:31,860
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I actually submitted a letter

4315
03:27:31,860 --> 03:27:33,360
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: that proposes

4316
03:27:33,360 --> 03:27:36,640
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: it applies to indigent patients

4317
03:27:36,640 --> 03:27:37,980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: financially incapable

4318
03:27:37,980 --> 03:27:38,980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in...

4319
03:27:38,980 --> 03:27:39,980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in...

4320
03:27:39,980 --> 03:27:40,540
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in...

4321
03:27:40,540 --> 03:27:42,320
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: financially incapacitated patients.

4322
03:27:42,420 --> 03:27:43,980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: And the third one is patients

4323
03:27:43,980 --> 03:27:45,820
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: whose out-of-pocket expenditure

4324
03:27:45,820 --> 03:27:48,160
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: is more than 60%.

4325
03:27:55,550 --> 03:27:56,270
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Mr. Chair?

4326
03:27:58,160 --> 03:28:00,040
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Actually, it's being implemented.

4327
03:28:00,320 --> 03:28:01,840
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Pero yung...

4328
03:28:01,840 --> 03:28:03,440
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: It's already being implemented.

4329
03:28:03,440 --> 03:28:04,560
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: It's just that

4330
03:28:04,560 --> 03:28:07,720
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: we're insisting on indigent in paper

4331
03:28:07,720 --> 03:28:08,860
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: but in reality,

4332
03:28:09,200 --> 03:28:10,300
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: wala eh.

4333
03:28:10,300 --> 03:28:10,820
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Kasi like,

4334
03:28:10,920 --> 03:28:12,100
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: if you have a cancer patient

4335
03:28:12,100 --> 03:28:13,260
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: or dialysis patient,

4336
03:28:13,400 --> 03:28:14,780
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: nagiging indigent talaga.

4337
03:28:14,920 --> 03:28:15,800
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Nagiging...

4338
03:28:15,800 --> 03:28:17,060
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: So, it's basically,

4339
03:28:18,160 --> 03:28:19,360
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: the MAIFIP will apply

4340
03:28:19,360 --> 03:28:21,140
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to indigent patients,

4341
03:28:21,280 --> 03:28:24,260
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: financially incapacitated patients,

4342
03:28:24,400 --> 03:28:26,300
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: and patients whose out-of-pocket expenditure

4343
03:28:26,300 --> 03:28:28,100
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: is at least 60%.

4344
03:28:28,100 --> 03:28:29,800
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: That will encompass.

4345
03:28:30,240 --> 03:28:31,460
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Kasi ando dun pa rin naman yung

4346
03:28:31,460 --> 03:28:32,420
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: hindi siya maabuso

4347
03:28:32,420 --> 03:28:33,880
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: na private room,

4348
03:28:34,580 --> 03:28:35,720
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I mean suite room.

4349
03:28:38,300 --> 03:28:39,220
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Mr. Chair,

4350
03:28:39,220 --> 03:28:40,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I remember,

4351
03:28:40,300 --> 03:28:42,180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: during the incumbency of

4352
03:28:42,180 --> 03:28:46,100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: [unclear] Secretary before,

4353
03:28:47,160 --> 03:28:48,160
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that we applied

4354
03:28:48,160 --> 03:28:50,600
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that medical assistance program

4355
03:28:50,600 --> 03:28:53,180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that would also include

4356
03:28:53,180 --> 03:28:55,500
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: patients that were admitted

4357
03:28:55,500 --> 03:28:57,960
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: under the regular private room.

4358
03:28:58,540 --> 03:28:59,320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Only the regular,

4359
03:28:59,500 --> 03:29:01,280
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I think, first level private room.

4360
03:29:02,280 --> 03:29:04,220
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Particularly those who are advised

4361
03:29:04,220 --> 03:29:07,500
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to have or to be placed in

4362
03:29:07,500 --> 03:29:09,960
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: or confined in a private room.

4363
03:29:10,300 --> 03:29:16,200
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Like the immunocompromised patients,

4364
03:29:17,480 --> 03:29:19,140
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: highly infectious, like that.

4365
03:29:19,620 --> 03:29:21,000
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Sometimes you have a patient,

4366
03:29:21,140 --> 03:29:21,480
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: let's say,

4367
03:29:21,600 --> 03:29:22,300
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: ayaw naman niya,

4368
03:29:22,380 --> 03:29:23,460
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: they don't want to be admitted

4369
03:29:23,460 --> 03:29:24,440
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in a private room,

4370
03:29:24,520 --> 03:29:26,420
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: but because they have active tuberculosis,

4371
03:29:26,640 --> 03:29:28,220
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: they cannot be admitted in the wards.

4372
03:29:29,040 --> 03:29:30,040
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: So, when that happens,

4373
03:29:30,160 --> 03:29:31,480
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: they don't qualify for

4374
03:29:31,480 --> 03:29:33,760
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: MAIP anymore for MAIFIP.

4375
03:29:34,240 --> 03:29:36,300
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Because the original name is really

4376
03:29:36,300 --> 03:29:37,860
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Medical Assistance Program.

4377
03:29:37,860 --> 03:29:40,260
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: And it actually applies to,

4378
03:29:40,300 --> 03:29:42,340
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to all patients admitted

4379
03:29:42,340 --> 03:29:44,440
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in government hospitals

4380
03:29:44,440 --> 03:29:46,200
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: and those in private hospitals

4381
03:29:46,200 --> 03:29:47,560
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: with basic accommodation.

4382
03:29:48,600 --> 03:29:50,980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: If you can be flexible

4383
03:29:50,980 --> 03:29:52,020
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: that we accommodate that

4384
03:29:52,020 --> 03:29:53,240
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in the special provisions.

4385
03:29:53,440 --> 03:29:54,700
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Actually, ang maganda doon,

4386
03:29:55,100 --> 03:29:56,080
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: less documentation.

4387
03:29:56,760 --> 03:29:58,280
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Because the inclusion of the word

4388
03:29:58,280 --> 03:30:00,300
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: indigent pave way to a lot of documents

4389
03:30:00,920 --> 03:30:03,180
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to prove na indigent yung pasyente.

4390
03:30:03,380 --> 03:30:03,540
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Pero,

4391
03:30:04,500 --> 03:30:06,780
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in reality, hindi nangyayari.

4392
03:30:06,880 --> 03:30:08,200
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Nahirapan lang yung pasyente.

4393
03:30:10,300 --> 03:30:12,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, we agree po.

4394
03:30:12,340 --> 03:30:15,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, if there's a proposed wording po

4395
03:30:15,860 --> 03:30:17,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from the Honorable Garin

4396
03:30:17,300 --> 03:30:18,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with regard to the special provision,

4397
03:30:19,060 --> 03:30:20,860
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I submitted a proposal.

4398
03:30:21,500 --> 03:30:23,640
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I just don't have the copy now.

4399
03:30:23,740 --> 03:30:25,980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I'll send it immediately after

4400
03:30:25,980 --> 03:30:26,760
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: when I go home.

4401
03:30:29,840 --> 03:30:30,720
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Madam Chair?

4402
03:30:32,200 --> 03:30:34,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes po, Representative Brian Yamsuan.

4403
03:30:34,820 --> 03:30:37,340
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Yes, just in support of what

4404
03:30:37,340 --> 03:30:40,280
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Deputy Speaker Garin has been telling us,

4405
03:30:40,300 --> 03:30:43,940
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: not all na pasyente,

4406
03:30:44,160 --> 03:30:46,200
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: kahit yung mga middle-income families,

4407
03:30:46,880 --> 03:30:48,640
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: talagang kinakailangan din

4408
03:30:48,640 --> 03:30:50,560
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: ng medical assistance minsan.

4409
03:30:50,860 --> 03:30:52,980
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Kahit na kumikita na sila ng tama.

4410
03:30:53,820 --> 03:30:54,940
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Ang problema,

4411
03:30:55,260 --> 03:30:56,520
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: talagang pag malaki masyado

4412
03:30:56,520 --> 03:30:58,000
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: ang bill ng pasyente,

4413
03:30:58,640 --> 03:31:00,200
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: hihingi rin sila ng tulong sa atin.

4414
03:31:00,540 --> 03:31:01,580
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Kahit nga yung mga

4415
03:31:01,580 --> 03:31:04,260
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: pamilya na talagang mahayos na yung trabaho,

4416
03:31:04,380 --> 03:31:06,800
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: kumikita na ng mga 50, 100,000 a month.

4417
03:31:07,020 --> 03:31:08,720
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Pero, panagkasakit yan,

4418
03:31:09,580 --> 03:31:10,280
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: haabutin na yung

4419
03:31:10,300 --> 03:31:12,660
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: mga 500,000, 1 million,

4420
03:31:12,880 --> 03:31:14,040
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: 2 million na mga bill,

4421
03:31:14,580 --> 03:31:16,000
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: kakailangan din pa rin talagang nila

4422
03:31:16,000 --> 03:31:16,900
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: yung tulong sa atin.

4423
03:31:17,060 --> 03:31:19,000
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: At pagdating nga sa documentation,

4424
03:31:19,160 --> 03:31:21,340
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: nahihirapan, lalo pag hindi sila

4425
03:31:21,340 --> 03:31:23,120
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: considered indigent

4426
03:31:23,120 --> 03:31:25,200
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: dahil middle-income family nga sila.

4427
03:31:25,840 --> 03:31:27,600
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: So, pag naayos natin

4428
03:31:27,600 --> 03:31:30,020
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: special provision na magluluwag dun,

4429
03:31:30,620 --> 03:31:32,120
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: kahit paano, malaking hinga yan

4430
03:31:32,120 --> 03:31:33,480
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: sa mga kababayan natin.

4431
03:31:33,880 --> 03:31:35,640
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Especially in the middle-income sector.

4432
03:31:36,120 --> 03:31:36,960
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Thank you, Madam Chair.

4433
03:31:37,260 --> 03:31:38,700
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Yes, Madam Chair.

4434
03:31:38,760 --> 03:31:40,020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Representative Fuentebella.

4435
03:31:40,300 --> 03:31:43,880
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Yes, mas maganda rin yung

4436
03:31:43,880 --> 03:31:45,640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mga taxpayers natin,

4437
03:31:45,720 --> 03:31:46,800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung alagaan natin.

4438
03:31:47,380 --> 03:31:49,780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Hindi lang puro dole-out lang tayo

4439
03:31:49,780 --> 03:31:51,740
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: para mabalik naman natin

4440
03:31:51,740 --> 03:31:53,120
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa mga taxpayers natin.

4441
03:31:53,220 --> 03:31:55,960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: What is due, especially on health program?

4442
03:31:58,080 --> 03:31:59,900
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Siguro, second ko

4443
03:31:59,900 --> 03:32:01,680
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: si Kong Brian,

4444
03:32:02,140 --> 03:32:03,460
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Madam Chair,

4445
03:32:04,220 --> 03:32:06,300
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: na even a middle-income family,

4446
03:32:07,980 --> 03:32:09,060
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: pagka na-hospital yan

4447
03:32:09,060 --> 03:32:10,260
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: ng more than one week,

4448
03:32:10,300 --> 03:32:11,380
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: or two weeks,

4449
03:32:11,480 --> 03:32:12,560
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: ubus na savings niyan.

4450
03:32:13,220 --> 03:32:15,960
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So, ang talagang pupuntahan niyan,

4451
03:32:16,620 --> 03:32:17,280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: yung MAIFIP.

4452
03:32:17,780 --> 03:32:19,340
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Alam natin yan sa probinsya.

4453
03:32:20,120 --> 03:32:20,860
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Wala nang pili.

4454
03:32:21,120 --> 03:32:22,980
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Like ako, wala akong regional hospital.

4455
03:32:23,000 --> 03:32:30,140
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So, karamihan dyan na nagtatrabaho sa gobyerno, even in private companies.

4456
03:32:30,900 --> 03:32:33,560
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Pagkat tumagal yan sa ospital, hindi na kaya nila.

4457
03:32:33,700 --> 03:32:36,140
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Ubus na savings sila. So, kailangan na nilang tulong.

4458
03:32:37,320 --> 03:32:42,440
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Yan, mga middle income, tinutulungan na rin natin, hindi lang indigent.

4459
03:32:43,720 --> 03:32:44,600
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair.

4460
03:32:46,260 --> 03:32:47,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Representative Brian.

4461
03:32:48,320 --> 03:32:52,540
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, we also have to consider kasi yung considered as near poor,

4462
03:32:52,540 --> 03:32:57,440
Rep. Brian Poe: hindi pa sila poor, pero they're one medical emergency away

4463
03:32:57,440 --> 03:33:01,100
Rep. Brian Poe: from dropping into the poverty line, below the poverty line.

4464
03:33:01,280 --> 03:33:04,460
Rep. Brian Poe: Kaya, importante yung special provision natin.

4465
03:33:04,620 --> 03:33:12,380
Rep. Brian Poe: And as a public servant, yung pinakamasakit para sa akin is when we have constituents who ask for help,

4466
03:33:12,920 --> 03:33:15,640
Rep. Brian Poe: but at the end of the day, they actually don't qualify.

4467
03:33:16,180 --> 03:33:21,240
Rep. Brian Poe: Kasi masyadong maipit tayo sa mga requirements, lalo na dito sa indigency.

4468
03:33:21,240 --> 03:33:28,420
Rep. Brian Poe: If I open my social media right now, sigurado ako meron isa doon na nag-iingi ng tulong

4469
03:33:28,420 --> 03:33:34,200
Rep. Brian Poe: that won't be able to qualify, either because of the hospital or because they're not considered indigent.

4470
03:33:34,900 --> 03:33:38,660
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, I'm aligned with all of the members here at the BARSC.

4471
03:33:38,820 --> 03:33:44,900
Rep. Brian Poe: We should really work on the wording para this special provision passes here in the House.

4472
03:33:47,900 --> 03:33:51,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If again, for all of our BARSC members,

4473
03:33:51,240 --> 03:33:55,380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if you have inputs on how to craft this special provision,

4474
03:33:56,020 --> 03:33:59,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: how to refine it as compared to what's there in the 2026 GAA,

4475
03:33:59,600 --> 03:34:05,260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we would be very happy to put it together on the part of APRO.

4476
03:34:06,360 --> 03:34:08,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Minority Leader Libanan.

4477
03:34:08,820 --> 03:34:17,380
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: I second the motion on this MAIFIP and also go with the majority comments

4478
03:34:17,380 --> 03:34:21,220
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: on possible inserting a special provision.

4479
03:34:21,240 --> 03:34:24,360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So that this can cover a lot of patients.

4480
03:34:24,560 --> 03:34:28,060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Napaka-importante po nitong MAIFIP natin.

4481
03:34:28,740 --> 03:34:38,220
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Pero Madam Chair, yung appropriations natin for 2026 amounted to 56—51.6 billion.

4482
03:34:39,220 --> 03:34:48,820
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Ngayon po, sa NEP natin ng 2027, 24 billion.

4483
03:34:48,820 --> 03:34:50,820
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Pag dinagdagan po natin ito ng 24.

4484
03:34:51,240 --> 03:34:52,460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 24.9 billion.

4485
03:34:53,140 --> 03:35:01,620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Ang total is 49 billion.

4486
03:35:03,480 --> 03:35:05,400
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Short pa rin tayo ng 10, mga 10—

4487
03:35:06,420 --> 03:35:07,720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 2.6.

4488
03:35:07,940 --> 03:35:08,820
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 2.6, yeah.

4489
03:35:09,480 --> 03:35:10,520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 2.6 billion.

4490
03:35:12,000 --> 03:35:14,700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Sana po ay madagdagan po natin ito.

4491
03:35:15,620 --> 03:35:16,440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Thank you.

4492
03:35:17,000 --> 03:35:18,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much.

4493
03:35:18,140 --> 03:35:21,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any more manifestations before I rule on the...

4494
03:35:21,240 --> 03:35:22,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the motion?

4495
03:35:23,740 --> 03:35:26,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Again, SVC, may request you to please reiterate the motion.

4496
03:35:27,560 --> 03:35:28,840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, thank you Madam Chair.

4497
03:35:29,060 --> 03:35:34,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And we will certainly be looking forward to that special provision.

4498
03:35:35,060 --> 03:35:37,340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Para mas maraming maka-access ng ating MAIFIP.

4499
03:35:37,740 --> 03:35:41,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So having said that, I would like to reiterate my motion

4500
03:35:41,440 --> 03:35:47,440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to allocate an additional 24 billion,

4501
03:35:47,740 --> 03:35:49,820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 965 million,

4502
03:35:50,360 --> 03:35:51,220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 776

4503
03:35:51,240 --> 03:35:53,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: thousand

4504
03:35:53,240 --> 03:35:55,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to the MAIFIP program of the DOH.

4505
03:35:55,240 --> 03:35:57,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So move, Madam Chair.

4506
03:35:58,240 --> 03:36:00,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion. Duly seconded.

4507
03:36:00,240 --> 03:36:03,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection, the motion is carried.

4508
03:36:03,240 --> 03:36:06,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So with the additional amount,

4509
03:36:06,240 --> 03:36:08,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'd like to correct myself earlier,

4510
03:36:08,240 --> 03:36:12,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: this will not put it back to the 2026 GA-A level yet.

4511
03:36:12,240 --> 03:36:16,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It will put it back to the 2026 H-GAB level.

4512
03:36:16,240 --> 03:36:18,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So yun po yung binabanggit ni Mayno,

4513
03:36:18,240 --> 03:36:21,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that there's still a shortfall of around 2 billion.

4514
03:36:21,240 --> 03:36:24,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So again, I'm one with you, Mayno.

4515
03:36:24,240 --> 03:36:26,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If there's any fiscal space,

4516
03:36:26,240 --> 03:36:29,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: which again is very, very challenging at the moment,

4517
03:36:29,240 --> 03:36:32,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we'll try to augment pa po.

4518
03:36:32,240 --> 03:36:35,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC, any more for DOH?

4519
03:36:35,240 --> 03:36:38,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, just a few more, Madam Chair.

4520
03:36:38,240 --> 03:36:41,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Next is the HFEP program,

4521
03:36:41,240 --> 03:36:47,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or the Hospital Facility Enhancement Program of the DOH.

4522
03:36:47,240 --> 03:36:50,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Currently, there's an existing,

4523
03:36:50,240 --> 03:37:03,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 4,472,659,000 in the 2027 proposed budget, Madam Chair.

4524
03:37:03,240 --> 03:37:07,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Pero sa dami ng pangangailangan ng agency

4525
03:37:07,240 --> 03:37:11,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at ng iba't ibang mga hospital all around the country,

4526
03:37:11,240 --> 03:37:17,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and considering that we have a very limited fiscal space,

4527
03:37:17,240 --> 03:37:19,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: so I am proposing,

4528
03:37:20,240 --> 03:37:28,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to allocate an additional 1,549,000,000

4529
03:37:28,240 --> 03:37:30,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: for this program, Madam Chair.

4530
03:37:30,240 --> 03:37:33,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So moved.

4531
03:37:33,240 --> 03:37:37,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion to increase the amount

4532
03:37:37,240 --> 03:37:40,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the Health Facilities Enhancement Program.

4533
03:37:40,240 --> 03:37:42,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been duly seconded.

4534
03:37:42,240 --> 03:37:45,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection, the motion is carried.

4535
03:37:45,240 --> 03:37:46,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But again, sorry po,

4536
03:37:46,240 --> 03:37:49,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I may sound like a broken record,

4537
03:37:49,240 --> 03:37:52,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: medyo pared na po akong siryong plaka.

4538
03:37:52,240 --> 03:37:57,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Again, I appeal to the DBM and to DOH

4539
03:37:57,240 --> 03:38:00,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to please fast track the implementation of HFEP.

4540
03:38:00,240 --> 03:38:04,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is very high underutilization.

4541
03:38:04,240 --> 03:38:07,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I don't even want to call it underutilization,

4542
03:38:07,240 --> 03:38:10,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: talaga ang dami po, unutilized,

4543
03:38:10,240 --> 03:38:14,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the previous years that have already been accumulating.

4544
03:38:14,240 --> 03:38:17,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So again, we appeal to DOH to please

4545
03:38:17,240 --> 03:38:20,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: work on your catch-up plan

4546
03:38:20,240 --> 03:38:26,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so we can implement the Health Facilities Enhancement Program items

4547
03:38:26,240 --> 03:38:29,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from 2025 and 2026.

4548
03:38:29,240 --> 03:38:32,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kasi mayroon pa pong malaking backlog.

4549
03:38:32,240 --> 03:38:33,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

4550
03:38:33,240 --> 03:38:34,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC, any more items po?

4551
03:38:34,240 --> 03:38:36,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Yes, thank you Madam Chair.

4552
03:38:36,240 --> 03:38:38,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: In relation to the HFEP,

4553
03:38:38,240 --> 03:38:39,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Go ahead po.

4554
03:38:39,240 --> 03:38:44,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: maybe in the future can we look into a special provision

4555
03:38:44,240 --> 03:38:46,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that would guarantee,

4556
03:38:46,240 --> 03:38:53,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: would guarantee the qualifying standards

4557
03:38:53,240 --> 03:38:56,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: on how to allocate the funds

4558
03:38:56,240 --> 03:39:00,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for the different levels of health facilities.

4559
03:39:00,240 --> 03:39:04,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Currently, I think there are a lot of health facilities

4560
03:39:04,240 --> 03:39:08,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that does not meet the real intention

4561
03:39:08,240 --> 03:39:10,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: as far as the function is concerned.

4562
03:39:10,240 --> 03:39:13,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: There are so many primary care facilities

4563
03:39:13,240 --> 03:39:16,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: without the necessary equipments.

4564
03:39:16,240 --> 03:39:19,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: As well as super health centers

4565
03:39:19,240 --> 03:39:21,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that were not equipped until now.

4566
03:39:21,240 --> 03:39:25,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So I think prioritization should be a must,

4567
03:39:25,240 --> 03:39:28,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: must be a must on how to select

4568
03:39:28,240 --> 03:39:31,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: these facilities to be funded.

4569
03:39:31,240 --> 03:39:35,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: If we can put some measures,

4570
03:39:35,240 --> 03:39:41,240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: how to qualify to be funded under the HFEP.

4571
03:39:41,240 --> 03:39:44,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Vice Chair Raman.

4572
03:39:44,240 --> 03:39:45,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Actually, I agree with you on that.

4573
03:39:45,240 --> 03:39:46,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Andami pong nangyayari

4574
03:39:46,240 --> 03:39:47,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na may super health center,

4575
03:39:47,240 --> 03:39:49,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: walang doktor or walang equipment.

4576
03:39:49,240 --> 03:39:51,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So it's not fully functional.

4577
03:39:51,240 --> 03:39:54,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So we'll try to put po

4578
03:39:54,240 --> 03:39:56,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the special provision.

4579
03:39:56,240 --> 03:39:57,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If you have a suggestion po,

4580
03:39:57,240 --> 03:40:01,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we would be very happy to put it into,

4581
03:40:01,240 --> 03:40:04,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to consider it for the HGAB

4582
03:40:04,240 --> 03:40:08,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po mas stringent yung qualification criteria

4583
03:40:08,240 --> 03:40:13,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for these particular programs or projects.

4584
03:40:13,240 --> 03:40:16,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So sige pa, we'll wait po,

4585
03:40:16,240 --> 03:40:17,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Vice Chair Raman,

4586
03:40:17,240 --> 03:40:18,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if you have a suggestion

4587
03:40:18,240 --> 03:40:21,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: on the wording for the special provision.

4588
03:40:21,240 --> 03:40:22,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC?

4589
03:40:22,240 --> 03:40:23,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes.

4590
03:40:23,240 --> 03:40:28,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Regarding what Representative Naba said,

4591
03:40:28,240 --> 03:40:31,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: as sponsor of the budget of the DOH,

4592
03:40:31,240 --> 03:40:34,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: we'll be happy to work with Representative Naba

4593
03:40:34,240 --> 03:40:38,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to work on the special provision needed

4594
03:40:38,240 --> 03:40:40,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: for our HFEP.

4595
03:40:40,240 --> 03:40:41,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Likewise, Madam Chair,

4596
03:40:41,240 --> 03:40:43,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I'd like to inform the body that

4597
03:40:43,240 --> 03:40:47,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: we are also drafting a special provision

4598
03:40:47,240 --> 03:40:51,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: so that we could possibly tap

4599
03:40:51,240 --> 03:40:56,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the unallocated amounts

4600
03:40:56,240 --> 03:40:59,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from the sin taxes

4601
03:40:59,240 --> 03:41:04,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: so that we can fund more facilities

4602
03:41:04,240 --> 03:41:08,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with the HFEP program.

4603
03:41:08,240 --> 03:41:11,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: We will try to reconcile the balance

4604
03:41:11,240 --> 03:41:13,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with the DBM

4605
03:41:13,240 --> 03:41:16,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of the Treasury and the DOH

4606
03:41:16,240 --> 03:41:18,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and after which we will be coming up

4607
03:41:18,240 --> 03:41:21,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with a special provision, Madam Chair.

4608
03:41:21,240 --> 03:41:26,240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So just for information of the body.

4609
03:41:26,240 --> 03:41:28,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ang ganda po na idea ni SVC

4610
03:41:28,240 --> 03:41:30,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because it's similar po,

4611
03:41:30,240 --> 03:41:31,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: what SVC was saying,

4612
03:41:31,240 --> 03:41:32,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it's similar to how we did it

4613
03:41:32,240 --> 03:41:35,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the deficiency to SUCs

4614
03:41:35,240 --> 03:41:38,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the free higher education program.

4615
03:41:38,240 --> 03:41:42,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Meron pong higher education development fund,

4616
03:41:42,240 --> 03:41:44,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: meron po kasing SAG-F.

4617
03:41:44,240 --> 03:41:46,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May special fund po na natutulog lang

4618
03:41:46,240 --> 03:41:48,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na hindi po naiutilize.

4619
03:41:48,240 --> 03:41:50,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So that's why SVC had an idea

4620
03:41:50,240 --> 03:41:53,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to do something similar for HFEP

4621
03:41:53,240 --> 03:41:55,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and the health sector in general.

4622
03:41:55,240 --> 03:41:58,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So we're looking forward po, SVC,

4623
03:41:58,240 --> 03:42:00,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to seeing the final version

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: the Department of Public Works and Highways

4937
03:53:23,320 --> 03:53:25,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: that will allow them to modify

03:53:25,320 --> 03:53:27,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: if there are errors

4939
03:53:27,320 --> 03:53:29,320

4948
03:53:45,320 --> 03:53:47,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: A very, very special provision.

4949
03:53:47,320 --> 03:53:49,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: This is

4950
03:53:49,320 --> 03:53:51,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: borne out of

4951
03:53:51,320 --> 03:53:53,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: essentially the delays caused by

4952
03:53:53,320 --> 03:53:55,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: any need for modification

4953
03:53:55,320 --> 03:53:57,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the

4954
03:53:57,320 --> 03:54:00,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: whichever is in the GAA. Tama po ba, Chair?

4955
03:54:00,640 --> 03:54:02,000
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: Yes, Madam Chair,

4956
03:54:02,000 --> 03:54:03,840
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: because in

4957
03:54:03,840 --> 03:54:05,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: 2026 budget,

4958
03:54:05,320 --> 03:54:07,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: there are more than 700

4959
03:54:07,320 --> 03:54:09,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: projects.

4960
03:54:09,320 --> 03:54:11,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: 700 projects costing about

4961
03:54:11,320 --> 03:54:13,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: 15 billion which could not be

4962
03:54:13,320 --> 03:54:15,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: implemented if we will not allow them

4963
03:54:15,320 --> 03:54:17,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: to modify.

4964
03:54:17,320 --> 03:54:19,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: And then,

4965
03:54:19,320 --> 03:54:21,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Joboy.

4966
03:54:21,320 --> 03:54:23,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Yes,

4967
03:54:23,320 --> 03:54:25,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: considering that,

4968
03:54:25,320 --> 03:54:27,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: I just would like to second

4969
03:54:27,320 --> 03:54:29,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: the motion,

4970
03:54:29,320 --> 03:54:31,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Congressman Momo,

4971
03:54:31,320 --> 03:54:33,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: because the very

4972
03:54:33,320 --> 03:54:35,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: agency tasked to implement this

4973
03:54:35,320 --> 03:54:37,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: and you're not giving them flexibility.

4974
03:54:37,320 --> 03:54:39,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So the likelihood that

4975
03:54:39,320 --> 03:54:41,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: same as mentioned, ang daming

4976
03:54:41,320 --> 03:54:43,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: non-implementable, maraming nasayang, tama?

4977
03:54:43,320 --> 03:54:45,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: That could have been implemented, yung

4978
03:54:45,320 --> 03:54:47,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: iba nag-aangal na may delay.

4979
03:54:47,320 --> 03:54:49,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Yung delay caused by this, ah,

4980
03:54:49,320 --> 03:54:51,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: yung mga sectioning

4981
03:54:51,320 --> 03:54:53,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: hindi nagtutugma-tugma,

4982
03:54:53,320 --> 03:54:55,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: minadali.

4983
03:54:55,320 --> 03:54:57,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So wala na naman sa laki ng,

4984
03:54:57,320 --> 03:54:59,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: you know, like,

4985
03:54:59,320 --> 03:55:01,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: ang laki ng

4986
03:55:01,320 --> 03:55:03,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: ini-implement nilang projects

4987
03:55:03,320 --> 03:55:05,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: all over the country.

4988
03:55:05,320 --> 03:55:07,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Hindi naman lahat yan

4989
03:55:07,320 --> 03:55:09,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: perfect, yung mga sectioning niya

4990
03:55:09,320 --> 03:55:11,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: at saka yung mga, di ba?

4991
03:55:11,320 --> 03:55:13,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Kailangan talaga

4992
03:55:13,320 --> 03:55:15,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: because of what happened this year

4993
03:55:15,320 --> 03:55:17,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: that it really caused delay,

4994
03:55:17,320 --> 03:55:19,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: waste of money

4995
03:55:19,320 --> 03:55:21,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: because non-implementable.

4996
03:55:21,320 --> 03:55:23,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So dapat talagang ibigay yung

4997
03:55:23,320 --> 03:55:25,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: flexibility sa DPWH.

4998
03:55:25,320 --> 03:55:27,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: You know,

4999
03:55:27,320 --> 03:55:29,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: we already gone through all these reforms.

5000
03:55:29,320 --> 03:55:31,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Transparency,

5001
03:55:31,320 --> 03:55:33,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: accountability,

5002
03:55:33,320 --> 03:55:35,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: binigay na natin lahat na yan,

5003
03:55:35,320 --> 03:55:37,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: ma-implement nang tama.

5004
03:55:37,320 --> 03:55:39,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Binigyan na rin ng opportunity ang

5005
03:55:39,320 --> 03:55:41,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: DP na mag-reform.

5006
03:55:41,320 --> 03:55:43,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So dapat bigyan na rin natin sila ng

5007
03:55:43,320 --> 03:55:45,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: not discretion, but leeway

5008
03:55:45,320 --> 03:55:47,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: for them to be able to implement

5009
03:55:47,320 --> 03:55:49,320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: these important projects.

5010
03:55:49,320 --> 03:55:51,320

5091
03:58:31,320 --> 03:58:33,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Chair Momo is

5092
03:58:33,320 --> 03:58:35,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: saying. But

5093
03:58:35,320 --> 03:58:37,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: I think the

5094
03:58:37,320 --> 03:58:39,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: better word to use is not

5095
03:58:39,320 --> 03:58:41,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: modify. Because

5096
03:58:41,320 --> 03:58:43,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: modify,

5097
03:58:43,320 --> 03:58:45,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: will be suspect

5098
03:58:45,320 --> 03:58:47,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: if there is no

5099
03:58:47,320 --> 03:58:49,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: error. But the better

5100
03:58:49,320 --> 03:58:51,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: word is to correct the

5101
03:58:51,320 --> 03:58:53,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: wrong entries, the wrong

5102
03:58:53,320 --> 03:58:55,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: coordinates, and

5103
03:58:55,320 --> 03:58:57,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: misprint. So if you use the word

5104
03:58:57,320 --> 03:58:59,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: modify or alter,

5105
03:58:59,320 --> 03:59:01,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: that is suspect.

5106
03:59:01,320 --> 03:59:03,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: So I would suggest to use

5107
03:59:03,320 --> 03:59:05,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: the word to correct the wrong

5108
03:59:05,320 --> 03:59:07,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: entries, the wrong coordinates,

5109
03:59:07,320 --> 03:59:09,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: and the wrong

5110
03:59:09,320 --> 03:59:11,320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: misprint.

5111
03:59:11,320 --> 03:59:12,660
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: If I may.

5112
03:59:12,660 --> 03:59:13,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: I agree.

5113
03:59:13,320 --> 03:59:15,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: Thank you.

5114
03:59:17,320 --> 03:59:19,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Although, Chair Momo, the technical

5115
03:59:19,320 --> 03:59:21,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: term kasi even in the

5116
03:59:21,320 --> 03:59:23,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: general provisions po kasi

5117
03:59:23,320 --> 03:59:25,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it's modification po kasi talaga yung

5118
03:59:25,320 --> 03:59:27,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: technical term.

5119
03:59:31,320 --> 03:59:33,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yun po kasi yung technical terminology

5120
03:59:33,320 --> 03:59:35,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: even in the general provisions.

5121
03:59:35,320 --> 03:59:37,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Momo, if I

5122
03:59:37,320 --> 03:59:39,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: may, just to

5123
03:59:39,320 --> 03:59:41,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: reiterate what Chair Momo

5124
03:59:41,320 --> 03:59:43,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is saying, we would just

5125
03:59:43,320 --> 03:59:45,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: like to highlight that

5126
03:59:45,320 --> 03:59:47,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: whichever items

5127
03:59:47,320 --> 03:59:49,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Momo is

5128
03:59:49,320 --> 03:59:51,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: advocating for

5129
03:59:51,320 --> 03:59:53,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for inclusion in DPWH, all of these

5130
03:59:53,320 --> 03:59:55,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: are supported by

5131
03:59:55,320 --> 03:59:57,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: all the documentary requirements

5132
03:59:57,320 --> 03:59:59,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: consistent with the requirements of

5133
03:59:59,320 --> 04:00:01,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the DBM during

5134
04:00:01,320 --> 04:00:03,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the budget call. So

5135
04:00:03,320 --> 04:00:05,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: just to reiterate po, there are five

5136
04:00:05,320 --> 04:00:07,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: documentary requirements. There's

5137
04:00:07,320 --> 04:00:09,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: BP 202.

5138
04:00:09,320 --> 04:00:11,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's the geotagging.

5139
04:00:11,320 --> 04:00:13,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Geotagging. There's a certificate of

5140
04:00:13,320 --> 04:00:15,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: implementability and feasibility.

5141
04:00:15,320 --> 04:00:17,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's the actual POW.

5142
04:00:17,320 --> 04:00:19,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And

5143
04:00:19,320 --> 04:00:21,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: RDC or MDC approval.

5144
04:00:21,320 --> 04:00:23,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Depending on the type of project.

5145
04:00:23,320 --> 04:00:25,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Hindi po to basta-basta na

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: which will eventually

5149
04:00:31,320 --> 04:00:33,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: be included in the

5150
04:00:33,320 --> 04:00:35,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: House General Appropriations Bill

5151
04:00:35,320 --> 04:00:37,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: has been vetted and supported

5152
04:00:37,320 --> 04:00:39,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: by all the requirements

5153
04:00:39,320 --> 04:00:41,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as required by the DBM

5154
04:00:41,320 --> 04:00:43,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and the DPWH.

5155
04:00:43,320 --> 04:00:45,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: Madam Chair.

5156
04:00:45,320 --> 04:00:47,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you po. Yes, Representative Brian Po.

5157
04:00:47,320 --> 04:00:49,320
Rep. Brian Poe: So just again to be clear,

5158
04:00:49,320 --> 04:00:51,320
Rep. Brian Poe: this is, if ever

5159
04:00:51,320 --> 04:00:53,320
Rep. Brian Poe: this special provision allows for the modification

5160
04:00:53,320 --> 04:00:55,320
Rep. Brian Poe: of any errors

5161
04:00:55,320 --> 04:00:57,320
Rep. Brian Poe: but not amounts.

5162
04:00:57,320 --> 04:00:59,320
Rep. Brian Poe: The amounts remain the same.

5163
04:00:59,320 --> 04:01:01,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: You cannot modify

5164
04:01:01,320 --> 04:01:03,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: amounts in the GAA. It's really

5165
04:01:03,320 --> 04:01:05,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: just the station

5166
04:01:05,320 --> 04:01:07,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: numbers and the coordinates.

5167
04:01:07,320 --> 04:01:09,320
Rep. Brian Poe: Yes, I just wanted that on the record for those

Rep. Brian Poe: who are viewing, para maintindihan nila.

5169
04:01:11,320 --> 04:01:13,320
Rep. Brian Poe: We're not talking about the amounts post

5170
04:01:13,320 --> 04:01:15,320
Rep. Brian Poe: GAA. We're only talking about

5171
04:01:15,320 --> 04:01:17,320
Rep. Brian Poe: wording or any other corrections.

5172
04:01:17,320 --> 04:01:19,320
Rep. Brian Poe: Thank you Madam Chair. Thank you for the clarification.

5173
04:01:19,320 --> 04:01:21,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Momo.

5174
04:01:21,320 --> 04:01:23,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: The amount could not be modified.

5175
04:01:23,320 --> 04:01:25,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: Only the other entries.

5176
04:01:25,320 --> 04:01:27,320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: Except the amount.

5177
04:01:27,320 --> 04:01:29,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

5178
04:01:29,320 --> 04:01:31,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If I may po, this

5179
04:01:31,320 --> 04:01:33,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: problem of

5180
04:01:33,320 --> 04:01:35,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: modification is not just

5181
04:01:35,320 --> 04:01:37,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: isolated in the case

5182
04:01:37,320 --> 04:01:39,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of DPWH.

5183
04:01:39,320 --> 04:01:41,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That is also the case for

5184
04:01:41,320 --> 04:01:43,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: farm to market roads

5185
04:01:43,320 --> 04:01:45,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: under DA and

5186
04:01:45,320 --> 04:01:47,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: NIA, projects under

5187
04:01:47,320 --> 04:01:49,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: NIA. So

5188
04:01:49,320 --> 04:01:51,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: this special provision po

5189
04:01:51,320 --> 04:01:53,320

5191
04:01:55,320 --> 04:01:57,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: infrastructure projects because

5192
04:01:57,320 --> 04:01:59,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the worst that can happen is that

5193
04:01:59,320 --> 04:02:01,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we're wasting funds

5194
04:02:01,320 --> 04:02:03,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and also sayang po yung delays

5195
04:02:03,320 --> 04:02:05,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in terms of the economic multipliers

5199
04:02:11,320 --> 04:02:13,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: maybe we could also

5200
04:02:13,320 --> 04:02:15,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: adopt that for farm to market

5201
04:02:15,320 --> 04:02:17,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: roads and classrooms.

5202

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry, and irrigation projects

5203

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and even classrooms.

5204
04:02:21,320 --> 04:02:22,030
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: You're right, Madam Chair.

5205

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much po.

5206

04:02:33,280 --> 04:02:35,000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If there are no other

04:07:05,640 --> 04:07:06,920

04:07:06,920 --> 04:07:09,960

5370
04:07:25,600 --> 04:07:28,300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we only have 19.2 billion.

5371
04:07:29,100 --> 04:07:30,140

5372
04:07:30,140 --> 04:07:31,160

5377
04:07:38,600 --> 04:07:40,640
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: increase this,

5378
04:07:41,140 --> 04:07:43,840
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: because we have a lot of displaced workers now,

5379

Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: disadvantaged and displaced workers

5380

04:07:50,040 --> 04:07:51,160
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: fiscal space,

5383

5566
04:12:27,960 --> 04:12:31,960
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Dahil kulang tayo ng safeguards sa LGSF.

5567
04:12:31,960 --> 04:12:34,960
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Kung pwede malagyan ng special provision

04:12:51,960 --> 04:12:54,960

5576
04:12:54,960 --> 04:12:56,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the release of LGSF,

5578

5617
04:14:39,960 --> 04:14:42,960

Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, in the interest of national security, and for these items that will be mentioned later, I'd propose that the particulars not be mentioned but the amounts be mentioned. We have with us here the actual request from the DND, so they exist. It's just in the interest of national security because many of these are classified. I think it would be best if we as the BARSC mentioned the amounts for approval for transparency purposes.

5632
04:20:55,800 --> 04:21:01,700
Rep. Brian Poe: However, in the interest again of national security, we don't mention the particulars.

5712
04:25:59,720 --> 04:26:00,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the dive

5713
04:26:00,920 --> 04:26:02,840

04:26:07,840 --> 04:26:08,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: A million.

5717
04:26:08,980 --> 04:26:09,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Did I say billion?

5718
04:26:10,160 --> 04:26:11,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 15.2 million pesos.

5719
04:26:13,360 --> 04:26:14,740

04:26:14,740 --> 04:26:16,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Next agency.

5721
04:26:16,740 --> 04:26:18,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: What is the pleasure of the body?

5722
04:26:19,540 --> 04:26:20,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative

5723
04:26:20,180 --> 04:26:21,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Joanne Bautista.

5724
04:26:22,160 --> 04:26:24,280
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Yes, Madam Chair. Move to consider

5725
04:26:24,280 --> 04:26:27,260
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: proposed

5726
04:26:27,260 --> 04:26:28,620
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: increases for

5727
04:26:28,620 --> 04:26:30,120
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: the Department of Migrant Workers.

5728
04:26:30,980 --> 04:26:32,900
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Okay. We have two items for this,

5729
04:26:33,000 --> 04:26:34,840
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Madam Chair. We've already

5730
04:26:34,840 --> 04:26:36,880
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: manifested our support for these

5731
04:26:36,880 --> 04:26:39,020
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: two programs during the budget briefings.

5732
04:26:40,400 --> 04:26:41,120
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Specifically

5733
04:26:41,120 --> 04:26:43,160
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: for Action Fund

5734
04:26:43,160 --> 04:26:44,240
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: ng DMW.

5735
04:26:44,240 --> 04:26:45,240
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: However,

5736
04:26:45,240 --> 04:26:47,520
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: this is also supported

5737
04:26:47,520 --> 04:26:49,740
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: by a request from the agency.

5738
04:26:50,400 --> 04:26:51,160
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: However, considering

5739
04:26:51,160 --> 04:26:53,260
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: that our

5740
04:26:53,260 --> 04:26:55,340
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: limited fiscal space at the moment,

5741
04:26:56,080 --> 04:26:56,740
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: maybe

5742
04:26:56,740 --> 04:26:58,940
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I will just move

5743
04:26:58,940 --> 04:27:01,420
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: for an increase of at least

5744
04:27:01,420 --> 04:27:03,320
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: 150 million

5745
04:27:03,320 --> 04:27:04,220
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: additional

5746
04:27:04,220 --> 04:27:07,500
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: 150 million for the Action Fund,

5747
04:27:07,640 --> 04:27:08,180
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Madam Chair.

5748
04:27:10,060 --> 04:27:11,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Just to clarify,

5749
04:27:12,300 --> 04:27:13,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kong Joanne, sorry,

5750
04:27:13,340 --> 04:27:15,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I keep on asking the same question.

5751
04:27:15,240 --> 04:27:17,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The DMW, as well as the OWA,

5752
04:27:18,060 --> 04:27:19,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: got an additional, I think,

5753
04:27:19,980 --> 04:27:21,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 4 billion from Uplift.

5754
04:27:22,600 --> 04:27:22,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So,

5755
04:27:23,200 --> 04:27:25,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nagamit na po ba yung

5756
04:27:25,040 --> 04:27:27,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung amount nila?

5757
04:27:28,320 --> 04:27:29,940
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: For the record, Madam Chair,

5758
04:27:30,060 --> 04:27:32,180
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I'm no longer the budget sponsor

5759
04:27:32,180 --> 04:27:32,700
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: for this.

5760
04:27:32,860 --> 04:27:35,960
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Ano, baka po nakalimutan natin. But I believe there was

5761
04:27:35,960 --> 04:27:38,500
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: a supplemental

5762
04:27:38,500 --> 04:27:40,420
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: budget because

5763
04:27:40,420 --> 04:27:42,520
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: they were able to fully utilize

5764
04:27:42,520 --> 04:27:44,560
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: already what we have given

5765
04:27:44,560 --> 04:27:45,220
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: them for 2026.

5766
04:27:45,240 --> 04:27:46,720
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: As of

5767
04:27:46,720 --> 04:27:48,280
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: the first

5768
04:27:48,280 --> 04:27:50,220
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: two months of

5769
04:27:50,220 --> 04:27:52,280
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: the Middle East crisis.

5770
04:27:52,520 --> 04:27:54,480
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: So, they were given supplemental budget.

5771
04:27:54,940 --> 04:27:56,280
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: But as to the utilization,

5772
04:27:56,680 --> 04:27:57,640
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I'm not very sure.

5773
04:27:58,480 --> 04:28:00,800
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: But, maybe we can get the data

5774
04:28:00,800 --> 04:28:02,300
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: from the...

5775
04:28:02,300 --> 04:28:05,080
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: But the NEP level, Madam Chair,

5776
04:28:05,460 --> 04:28:06,400
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: is at 2 billion.

5777
04:28:07,120 --> 04:28:08,480
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: NEP 2027,

5778
04:28:08,740 --> 04:28:10,600
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: the Action Fund is 2 billion.

5779
04:28:10,600 --> 04:28:11,800
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: This is the same amount

5780
04:28:11,800 --> 04:28:14,220
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: that was given to them last year.

5781
04:28:14,820 --> 04:28:15,000
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: So,

5782
04:28:15,240 --> 04:28:17,040
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: actually, they're asking for

5783
04:28:17,040 --> 04:28:19,000
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: another 1 billion.

5784
04:28:19,560 --> 04:28:21,180
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: But we understand

5785
04:28:21,180 --> 04:28:22,680
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: the limited fiscal

5786
04:28:22,680 --> 04:28:25,020
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: capacity that we have

5787
04:28:25,020 --> 04:28:26,980
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: at the moment. So, I am

5788
04:28:26,980 --> 04:28:28,600
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: moving for at least

5789
04:28:28,600 --> 04:28:31,160
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: 150 million increase, Madam Chair.

5790
04:28:31,700 --> 04:28:32,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Kong Joanne.

5791
04:28:32,980 --> 04:28:34,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Force of habit. Nasanay ako na ikaw yung

5792
04:28:34,880 --> 04:28:36,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: budget sponsor for DMW.

5793
04:28:36,880 --> 04:28:37,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'm so sorry.

5794
04:28:38,380 --> 04:28:40,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, there's a motion po for

5795
04:28:40,860 --> 04:28:43,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the Action Fund for the benefit

5796

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: our migrant workers.

5800
04:28:51,040 --> 04:28:53,620

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: we can get from this.

6059
04:42:39,500 --> 04:42:47,500
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: And I note Madam Chair that there is no funding for this under the NEP 2027.

6060
04:42:47,500 --> 04:42:48,500
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: And so moved.

6061
04:42:48,500 --> 04:42:52,500
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: For the inclusion of 100 million, Madam Chair.

6081
04:44:53,280 --> 04:44:55,500
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Madam Chair, yeah. Good evening again.

6082
04:44:57,120 --> 04:44:59,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May I now recognize Representative Pepito Alvarez?

6083
04:45:00,060 --> 04:45:01,060
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Yes.

6084
04:45:01,060 --> 04:45:05,000
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: So, Madam Chair, I move to increase the budget of the HOR.

6085
04:45:05,000 --> 04:45:07,420
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: I move to, in view of the numerous requirements,

6086
04:45:08,040 --> 04:45:13,420
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: I move to increase the budget of the HOR by 5 billion pesos.

6087
04:45:14,100 --> 04:45:15,360
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: So, move, Madam Chair.

6088
04:45:19,660 --> 04:45:25,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion to increase the budget of the House of Representatives by 5 billion pesos.

6089
04:45:26,780 --> 04:45:27,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any second?

6090
04:45:28,300 --> 04:45:28,560
Committee member/seconding voice: Second.

6091
04:45:28,560 --> 04:45:28,760
Committee member/seconding voice: Second.

6092
04:45:30,060 --> 04:45:34,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any objection? There being none, the motion is carried.

6093
04:45:37,060 --> 04:45:46,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If we may just make a quick manifestation po, the current NEP level for the House of Representatives is only at 18 billion.

6094
04:45:47,420 --> 04:45:58,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Even with the 5 billion peso increase, it would go up to 23 billion, which is the lowest it's been in a while.

6095
04:45:58,200 --> 04:46:04,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because in the previous GAAS po, I believe the range is around 27 and 30 billion.

6096
04:46:04,820 --> 04:46:11,460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So the current level po is much lower than the previous GAAS level for the House of Representatives.

6097
04:46:26,460 --> 04:46:27,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry po.

6098
04:46:27,540 --> 04:46:28,180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If we may request.

6099
04:46:28,200 --> 04:46:32,240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If we may request po for a quick health break, kahit 5 minutes lang.

6100
04:46:32,860 --> 04:46:36,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Medyo hilo na po yung mga BARSC members.

6101
04:46:39,200 --> 04:46:41,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Actually po, ako nga po nagsislur na yung speech.

6102
04:46:41,420 --> 04:46:45,560
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Madam Chair, we propose that you go ahead and leave us here.

6103
04:46:46,980 --> 04:46:49,300
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Senior Vice Chair can finish this.

6104
04:46:50,060 --> 04:46:51,500
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Madam Chair, I'm not kidding.

6105
04:46:52,060 --> 04:46:52,860
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Please go.

6106
04:46:53,360 --> 04:46:53,720

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's okay po.

6108
04:46:55,240 --> 04:46:56,420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think kaya pa.

6109
04:46:56,420 --> 04:46:58,180
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: We are used up to 2, 3 o'clock.

6110
04:46:58,200 --> 04:46:58,720
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: No problem.

6111
04:46:59,200 --> 04:47:00,520
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: But please, go ahead.

6112
04:47:00,600 --> 04:47:03,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yesterday po, we were working until 2.30 in the morning.

6113
04:47:03,960 --> 04:47:04,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So kaya pa.

6114
04:47:04,840 --> 04:47:05,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kaya pa po.

6115
04:47:06,080 --> 04:47:07,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Medyo nagsislur yung speech ko.

6116
04:47:07,600 --> 04:47:11,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But I'm looking across the room na yun po kasi sa BARSC members.

6117
04:47:11,680 --> 04:47:12,580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ano na yun, pagod.

6118
04:47:13,100 --> 04:47:15,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So baka po, a quick 5-minute break.

6119
04:47:15,520 --> 04:47:16,080
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: 5-minute break.

6120
04:47:16,200 --> 04:47:18,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Para lang po makapag-walk around.

6121
04:47:18,700 --> 04:47:19,540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Stretch lang po.

6122
04:47:20,660 --> 04:47:22,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Marami po po bang manifestations.

6123
04:47:23,420 --> 04:47:24,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Siyempre yung tanong ko,

6124
04:47:24,700 --> 04:47:25,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: marami pa po ba?

6125
04:47:26,260 --> 04:47:28,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But better lang po, if we take a quick

6126

6129
04:47:33,880 --> 04:47:35,840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: With that, meeting is suspended.

6134
05:06:27,220 --> 05:06:53,000
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: We have two priority requests from the Office of the Ombudsman. One is for an increased or additional budget for the purchase of a new office. However, based on the additional funding we provided to other agencies with respect to requests for a new building,

6135
05:06:53,000 --> 05:07:22,980
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: we always provide an initial amount of 150 million, which is sufficient, doable and practical to be completed within the year, Madam Chair. Considering the fiscal limitation, I would like to propose that we consider an additional 150 million for the Office of the Ombudsman. I so move, Madam Chair.

6136
