00:09:32.140 --> 00:09:34.100
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: limited. In other words, we have to

asr-000160
00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:36.260
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: look for the source to be able

asr-000161
00:09:36.260 --> 00:09:38.060
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: to accommodate all the

asr-000162
00:09:38.060 --> 00:09:40.140
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: requests of the different departments.

asr-000163
00:09:40.920 --> 00:09:42.220
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So, ang dami nilang requests,

asr-000164
00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:44.280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: napakaliit nung

asr-000165
00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:48.140
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: source natin. Then we have to look

asr-000166
00:09:48.140 --> 00:09:50.120
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: at the different, again, review all the

asr-000167
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:51.640
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: different departments.

asr-000168
00:09:52.260 --> 00:09:54.040
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Hahanapin natin yung slow moving,

asr-000169
00:09:54.040 --> 00:09:56.060
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: yung absorptive capacity,

asr-000170
00:09:56.280 --> 00:09:58.400
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: yung low utilization.

asr-000171
00:09:59.200 --> 00:09:59.400
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So,

asr-000172
00:10:00.900 --> 00:10:02.120
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: it is much harder

asr-000173
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:04.520
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: this year compared

asr-000174
00:10:04.520 --> 00:10:06.660
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: to last year. Dahil,

asr-000175
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:08.120
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: again,

asr-000176
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.740
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: napakalimitado nung mga

asr-000177
00:10:10.740 --> 00:10:12.400
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: funds na pwede

asr-000178
00:10:12.400 --> 00:10:14.380
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: nating ibigay sa mga

asr-000179
00:10:14.380 --> 00:10:16.740
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: different agencies na importante

asr-000180
00:10:16.740 --> 00:10:17.880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: na ma-increase,

asr-000181
00:10:18.400 --> 00:10:20.020
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: mapagbigyan yung mga requests nila.

00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, po.

asr-000183

asr-000198
00:10:52.140 --> 00:10:54.040

asr-000199
00:10:54.040 --> 00:10:55.620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to highlight that although

asr-000200
00:10:55.620 --> 00:10:56.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: not,

asr-000201
00:10:56.280 --> 00:10:58.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: not all members of

asr-000202
00:10:58.160 --> 00:11:00.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the House can be present

asr-000203
00:11:00.340 --> 00:11:02.160

asr-000204
00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:03.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee,

asr-000205
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that is exactly the

asr-000206
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:07.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: design by which the BARSC

asr-000207
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: was created

asr-000208
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:12.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in which the members

asr-000209
00:11:12.300 --> 00:11:14.100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of the BARSC would serve as their

asr-000210
00:11:14.100 --> 00:11:15.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: representatives, their representation

asr-000211
00:11:15.580 --> 00:11:18.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the advocacies, the individual

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Alan T.,

00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Gabriela Party List

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and Akbayan Party List,

00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that we will take into consideration

asr-000221
00:11:38.260 --> 00:11:40.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the institutional amendments

00:11:42.280 --> 00:11:43.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for consideration of the BARSC.

asr-000224
00:11:44.280 --> 00:11:44.900
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair.

asr-000224-split-2
00:11:44.900 --> 00:11:45.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Brian po?

asr-000225
00:11:46.180 --> 00:11:48.080
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, for transparency purposes,

asr-000226
00:11:48.380 --> 00:11:50.320
Rep. Brian Poe: gusto ko lang sabihin din na hindi lang

asr-000227
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.300
Rep. Brian Poe: yung minority yung nagpadala

asr-000228
00:11:52.300 --> 00:11:54.160
Rep. Brian Poe: ng pahabol po ng mga requests.

asr-000229
00:11:54.160 --> 00:11:55.780
Rep. Brian Poe: Ang mga agencies po,

asr-000230
00:11:56.160 --> 00:11:58.400
Rep. Brian Poe: individually, we're calling members of the BARSC

asr-000231
00:11:58.400 --> 00:12:00.480
Rep. Brian Poe: to request for last minute

asr-000232
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.140
Rep. Brian Poe: kung pwede nila

asr-000233
00:12:02.140 --> 00:12:04.060
Rep. Brian Poe: isama sa budget, but these

asr-000234
00:12:04.060 --> 00:12:05.480
Rep. Brian Poe: requests had to be vetted.

asr-000235
00:12:06.020 --> 00:12:08.180
Rep. Brian Poe: And each request had to have, as you said,

asr-000236
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.000
Rep. Brian Poe: the signature of the Secretary.

asr-000237
00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:12.020
Rep. Brian Poe: So, kaya

asr-000238
00:12:12.020 --> 00:12:13.900
Rep. Brian Poe: it may have taken a bit longer,

asr-000239
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.320
Rep. Brian Poe: and I apologize, but I also want to remind

asr-000240
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.060
Rep. Brian Poe: everyone here that

asr-000241
00:12:18.060 --> 00:12:20.140
Rep. Brian Poe: last year, we started a day late.

asr-000242
00:12:20.520 --> 00:12:22.180
Rep. Brian Poe: At least today, we started

asr-000243
00:12:22.180 --> 00:12:24.360
Rep. Brian Poe: only a few hours later. So, kahit pa paano,

asr-000244
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.140
Rep. Brian Poe: we're moving as quickly as we can.

asr-000245
00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:28.620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, po.

asr-000246
00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:30.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think it's important to highlight

asr-000247
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the manifestations of SDS

asr-000248
00:12:32.020 --> 00:12:34.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Hernandez and

asr-000249
00:12:34.060 --> 00:12:35.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Brian po.

asr-000250
00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:38.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There are so many requests

asr-000251
00:12:38.160 --> 00:12:40.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: emanating from the agencies, even

asr-000252
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:41.940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: though we set a deadline of

asr-000253
00:12:41.940 --> 00:12:44.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: on the part of Committee on Appropriations,

asr-000254
00:12:44.580 --> 00:12:45.940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we set a deadline of, I think,

asr-000255
00:12:46.340 --> 00:12:48.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: three weeks ago. And then

asr-000256
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for some of the agencies, right

asr-000257
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: after their plenary deliberations,

asr-000258
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:54.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nung nabalitaan po, when we

asr-000259
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: made the announcement yesterday,

asr-000260
00:12:56.160 --> 00:12:57.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that the BARSC will convene today.

asr-000261
00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:00.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: As expected po,

asr-000262
00:13:00.660 --> 00:13:02.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nagtatawag din po lahat ng mga

asr-000263
00:13:02.220 --> 00:13:04.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ahensya. So, even though we already

asr-000264
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: had thousands of line items that we

asr-000265
00:13:06.260 --> 00:13:08.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: had to scrutinize, may mga

asr-000266
00:13:08.260 --> 00:13:10.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pahabol pa rin po. So, thank you

asr-000267
00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:12.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po for making that manifestation.

asr-000268
00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:14.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And yes po, it's doubly hard

asr-000269
00:13:14.260 --> 00:13:16.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: on the part of the BARSC now

asr-000270
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:18.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because of the limited fiscal space.

asr-000271
00:13:19.060 --> 00:13:20.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Last year po,

asr-000272
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as manifested by SDS

asr-000273
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Hernandez, there was

asr-000274
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that P255 billion

asr-000275
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: peso, essentially

asr-000276
00:13:28.260 --> 00:13:30.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: amount that was taken out

asr-000277
00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:32.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from DPWH flood control

asr-000278
00:13:32.160 --> 00:13:33.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: projects that had to be

asr-000279
00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:36.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: reallocated across the different agencies.

asr-000280
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, it was clear that

asr-000281
00:13:38.340 --> 00:13:40.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: there was that amount

asr-000282
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that we could distribute across

asr-000283
00:13:42.260 --> 00:13:43.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the agencies. Ngayon po,

asr-000284
00:13:44.220 --> 00:13:46.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the BARSC is very cognizant

asr-000285
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that over the course of the deliberations,

asr-000286
00:13:48.860 --> 00:13:50.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sobrang dami pong mga programa

asr-000287
00:13:50.260 --> 00:13:51.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na nabanggit

asr-000288
00:13:51.920 --> 00:13:54.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ng ating mga kasamahan, ng ating

asr-000289
00:13:54.400 --> 00:13:55.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: mga ahensya,

asr-000290
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:57.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na sobrang kailangan mapondohan

asr-000291
00:13:57.920 --> 00:13:59.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na walang pondo sa NEP

asr-000292
00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:01.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: o di kaya hindi sapat yung

asr-000293
00:14:01.880 --> 00:14:03.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pondo sa National Expenditure Program.

asr-000294
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:05.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Halimbawa po, magbabanggit na po siguro

asr-000295
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ako ng ilan, under the

asr-000296
00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:09.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Department of Education, it has been

asr-000297
00:14:09.900 --> 00:14:12.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: manifested that the AREL program

asr-000298
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:13.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: has no budget. It has zero

asr-000299
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: budget in the NEP. That is something

asr-000300
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:17.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that we cannot ignore.

asr-000301
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It was also mentioned that

asr-000302
00:14:19.920 --> 00:14:22.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the importance of

asr-000303
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the school's security,

asr-000304
00:14:24.420 --> 00:14:25.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the funding for school security,

asr-000305
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:27.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: which was also not there in the NEP,

asr-000306
00:14:27.860 --> 00:14:29.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it needs to be funded. Service

asr-000307
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:31.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: contracting, for example, fuel

asr-000308
00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:33.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: transport subsidy,

asr-000309
00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:36.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and all of these

asr-000310
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:38.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: very, very important

asr-000311
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: programs

asr-000312
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:42.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that were either not funded

asr-000313
00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:43.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: or underfunded in the NEP,

asr-000314
00:14:44.040 --> 00:14:46.100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nabanggit po yan over the course

asr-000315
00:14:46.100 --> 00:14:48.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of our months of deliberation.

asr-000316
00:14:48.540 --> 00:14:49.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So sa parte naman po

asr-000317
00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ng BARSC, narinig po

asr-000318
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: namin yun at nakita po namin

asr-000319
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:55.620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na kailangan nating pondohan,

asr-000320
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so dahil wala pong

asr-000321
00:14:57.100 --> 00:15:00.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: P255 billion, katulad ng last year

asr-000322
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na madaling hugutin,

asr-000323
00:15:01.700 --> 00:15:03.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kailangan po talaga namin suriin

asr-000324
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kung papaano po nating mapupondohan

asr-000325
00:15:05.860 --> 00:15:07.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ito pong mga programa na ito.

asr-000326
00:15:07.800 --> 00:15:09.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The budget is a zero-sum game.

asr-000327
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:11.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If you fund one program,

asr-000328
00:15:11.800 --> 00:15:13.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: you have to take from another

asr-000329
00:15:13.820 --> 00:15:15.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: program. So that makes the job

asr-000330
00:15:15.880 --> 00:15:17.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of the BARSC doubly hard

asr-000331
00:15:17.460 --> 00:15:19.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: this year. So thank you so much po

asr-000332
00:15:19.300 --> 00:15:21.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for manifesting that.

asr-000343
00:15:41.340 --> 00:15:43.740

asr-000346

00:15:51.820 --> 00:15:53.960
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: family, considering the global

asr-000349
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:55.840
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: conflict that apparently

asr-000350
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:57.420
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: does not seem to leave the world.

asr-000351
00:15:57.420 --> 00:15:58.620
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-000352
00:15:58.620 --> 00:15:59.340
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair.

00:15:59.340 --> 00:16:01.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Deputy Speaker Garin.

asr-000354
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.140

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-000357
00:16:08.680 --> 00:16:12.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And aside from the very limited fiscal space

asr-000358
00:16:12.060 --> 00:16:16.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that was emphasized by SDS Fernandez

asr-000359
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:21.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and the geopolitical and climate change impact

asr-000360
00:16:21.620 --> 00:16:24.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that we face, we are facing and we will face

asr-000361
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:25.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: in the near future.

asr-000362
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Aside from the

asr-000363
00:16:28.400 --> 00:16:30.740
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: requests of the agencies

asr-000364
00:16:30.740 --> 00:16:32.660
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: na naghahabol

asr-000365
00:16:32.660 --> 00:16:34.940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and we are considering each one,

asr-000366
00:16:35.400 --> 00:16:36.400
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: let's not forget

asr-000367
00:16:36.400 --> 00:16:38.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung mga concerns, recommendation,

asr-000368
00:16:39.640 --> 00:16:40.760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and

asr-000369
00:16:40.760 --> 00:16:42.420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: alternative

asr-000370
00:16:42.420 --> 00:16:44.780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: proposal ng civil society,

asr-000371
00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:46.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Madam Chair,

asr-000372
00:16:46.260 --> 00:16:48.420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: that we are continuously

asr-000373
00:16:48.420 --> 00:16:50.640
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: engaging from

asr-000374
00:16:50.640 --> 00:16:52.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: last year up to this year under

asr-000375
00:16:52.580 --> 00:16:54.460
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: your instruction

asr-000376
00:16:54.460 --> 00:16:55.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and under the leadership

asr-000377
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of the House.

asr-000378
00:16:57.700 --> 00:17:00.900
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, ang dami rin po nilang mga recommendation

asr-000379
00:17:00.900 --> 00:17:03.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and a lot of them are very valid.

asr-000380
00:17:03.100 --> 00:17:06.160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yung iba po, through the Vice Chairs

asr-000381
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:07.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of the different agencies,

asr-000382
00:17:07.860 --> 00:17:10.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yung iba po, dumiretso sa inyo, Madam Chair.

asr-000383
00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:11.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And aside from that,

asr-000384
00:17:11.800 --> 00:17:16.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: yung mga LGUs, through their representatives,

asr-000385
00:17:16.100 --> 00:17:19.200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and some go directly to you

asr-000386
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or to the Committee on Appropriations.

asr-000387
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:23.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So,

asr-000391
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

asr-000392
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.

asr-000393
00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:41.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-000394
00:17:41.860 --> 00:17:46.420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much for that manifestation, SVC Albert Garcia.

asr-000395
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.

asr-000396
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

asr-000397
00:18:01.780 --> 00:18:05.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: on the items raised by our civil society organization partners.

asr-000398
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.

asr-000399
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.

asr-000400
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.

asr-000401
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.

asr-000402
00:18:37.320 --> 00:18:38.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, maraming maraming salamat po.

asr-000403
00:18:38.620 --> 00:18:39.020
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Madam Chair.

asr-000404
00:18:39.840 --> 00:18:41.420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If I may, Kong Brian.

asr-000405
00:18:42.860 --> 00:18:44.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May I now recognize minority?

asr-000406
00:18:44.800 --> 00:18:46.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Minority Leader Marcelino Libanan.

asr-000407
00:18:46.780 --> 00:18:47.540
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-000408
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.

asr-000409
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:05.340
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Dahil noong 2026 budget, ang inallocate natin ay 6.78 trillion.

asr-000410
00:19:06.020 --> 00:19:08.480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Ngayon, 7.2 trillion.

asr-000411
00:19:08.840 --> 00:19:12.140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Lumaki yung pera natin pero parang kinakapos po tayo.

asr-000412
00:19:12.700 --> 00:19:14.560
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: May 6% increase po tayo.

asr-000413
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.

asr-000414
00:19:29.820 --> 00:19:33.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much po, Mayno.

asr-000415
00:19:33.340 --> 00:19:34.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'm just looking through my notes.

asr-000416
00:19:35.080 --> 00:19:38.280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'm just looking at all the mandatory appropriations.

asr-000417
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,

asr-000418
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.

asr-000419
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.

asr-000420
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:01.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kasa lang po, marami pong mga mandatory allocations.

asr-000421
00:20:02.800 --> 00:20:07.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Essentially, the whole 400 million went to these mandatory allocations.

asr-000422
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,

asr-000423
00:20:11.380 --> 00:20:13.520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but a huge part of it,

asr-000424
00:20:13.520 --> 00:20:21.180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: went to the increase in salary standardization law,

asr-000425
00:20:21.340 --> 00:20:23.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the new tranche of the SSL.

asr-000426
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.

asr-000427
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:31.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Mayroon din po sa interest payments.

asr-000428
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.

asr-000429
00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:39.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 20 billion went to that.

asr-000430
00:20:40.520 --> 00:20:43.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There's also the increase in national tax allocation.

asr-000431
00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:46.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think that's malaki po.

asr-000432
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And then there's also this new law for the judiciary,

asr-000433
00:20:50.580 --> 00:20:52.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the fiscal autonomy law.

asr-000434
00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:56.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So essentially, 12 billion went towards that.

asr-000435
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,

asr-000436
00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:04.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kung saan po napunta exactly,

asr-000437
00:21:04.860 --> 00:21:09.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pero napunta po yun sa mandatory allocation.

asr-000438
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:12.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So kung susumahin po natin,

asr-000439
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:15.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at inuneto natin, wala po tayong increase

asr-000440
00:21:15.080 --> 00:21:18.000

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: as a cluster po.

asr-000738
00:32:21.260 --> 00:32:22.180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Um, this is something

asr-000739
00:32:22.180 --> 00:32:23.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that we funded last

asr-000740
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.

asr-000741
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.

asr-000742
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.

asr-000743
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.

asr-000749
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,

asr-000750
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.

asr-000751
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

asr-000752
00:34:06.500 --> 00:34:10.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because they need to pay particular attention to the students.

asr-000753
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,

asr-000754
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.

asr-000755
00:34:29.990 --> 00:34:30.650
Committee member/seconding voice: Second.

00:34:30.650 --> 00:34:37.280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion duly seconded. There being no objection, the motion is carried.

asr-000756
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

asr-000757
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.

asr-000758
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.

00:35:16.720 --> 00:35:27.260
Rep. Allan U. Ty: The Kabataan Party List and ACT Teachers Party List have likewise submitted their proposed institutional amendments for consideration by this committee.

asr-000766
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?

asr-000767
00:35:35.160 --> 00:35:35.700
Rep. Allan U. Ty: Yes, I think.

asr-000768
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

asr-000769
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.

asr-000770
00:35:54.720 --> 00:36:04.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, with that po, I would like to reiterate my motion to add 25 million pesos towards the Indigenous Peoples Education Program.

00:36:06.060 --> 00:36:06.620

asr-000776
00:36:14.940 --> 00:36:20.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Finally po, hindi po pala finally, sorry, last two, promise.

asr-000777
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.

asr-000778
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.

asr-000779
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.

asr-000780
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.

asr-000781
00:36:54.560 --> 00:36:58.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Especially those students who are having challenges and difficulties in school.

asr-000782
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.

asr-000783
00:37:05.820 --> 00:37:09.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Last year po, we funded this also under the BARSC.

asr-000784
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.

asr-000785
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.

asr-000786
00:37:23.140 --> 00:37:24.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: As in, zero po, walang pondo.

asr-000787
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.

asr-000788
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.

asr-000789
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:46.340

asr-000795
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.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For additional classrooms po, to be built.

asr-000797
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.

asr-000798
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.

asr-000799
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:41.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We will exercise our oversight functions.

asr-000800
00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:42.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Um,

asr-000801
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.

asr-000802
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.

asr-000803
00:39:13.300 --> 00:39:13.940

00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:30.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: From my side po, these are the, these are the programs that I would like to advocate for under DepEd.

00:49:16.410 --> 00:49:21.880
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, in the submission of Kabataan Partylist, CLEP is the priority.

asr-000983
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.

asr-000984
00:49:29.080 --> 00:49:31.920
Rep. Brian Poe: Since we're already funding scholarships under CHED,

asr-000985
00:49:33.300 --> 00:49:36.740
Rep. Brian Poe: there's a possibility since this is higher education funding,

asr-000986
00:49:37.240 --> 00:49:39.920
Rep. Brian Poe: baka we could source some of the funding for that from there.

asr-000987
00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:41.920
Rep. Brian Poe: But it's 83

asr-000988
00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:43.800
Rep. Brian Poe: million pesos, I believe.

asr-000989
00:49:44.460 --> 00:49:45.960
Rep. Brian Poe: For consideration lang of the BARSC.

asr-000990
00:49:50.300 --> 00:49:51.440
Rep. Brian Poe: For consideration.

asr-000991
00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:52.620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

asr-000992
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.

asr-000993
00:50:00.120 --> 00:50:04.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any other comments po, manifestations for CHED?

asr-000994
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.

asr-000995
00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:11.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So maybe SUCs.

asr-000996
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:16.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Or anything related to higher education po.

asr-000997
00:50:18.260 --> 00:50:19.140
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Madam Chair.

asr-000998
00:50:20.440 --> 00:50:22.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Deputy Speaker Janette Garin.

asr-000999
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,

asr-001000
00:50:31.420 --> 00:50:35.700
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: specifically for CAPE, or the Congressional Alliance for Philippine Education.

asr-001001
00:50:36.560 --> 00:50:40.760
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: In the proposed NEP of 2027, they have a zero budget.

asr-001002
00:50:41.460 --> 00:50:42.260
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: However, we are...

asr-001003
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

asr-001004
00:50:50.040 --> 00:50:55.800
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in terms of legislation, education, funding, and accountability.

asr-001005
00:50:56.800 --> 00:51:00.460
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: And while the education problems cut across many sectors and committees,

asr-001006
00:51:00.820 --> 00:51:02.820
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: it's often fragmented and vulnerable,

asr-001007
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.

asr-001008
00:51:08.080 --> 00:51:12.080
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Hence, the intention of...

asr-001009
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.

asr-001010
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.

asr-001011
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.

asr-001012
00:51:54.780 --> 00:51:59.680
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: With this, Madam Chair, allow me to put forward a motion

asr-001013
00:51:59.680 --> 00:52:02.460
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to

asr-001014
00:52:02.460 --> 00:52:09.220
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: include under the UP system,

asr-001015
00:52:10.500 --> 00:52:11.960
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: particularly the UP system,

asr-001016
00:52:11.980 --> 00:52:14.660
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: the UP Center for Education and Development of UP Diliman,

asr-001017
00:52:15.160 --> 00:52:17.440
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: an increase in the amount of 70 million

asr-001018
00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:23.500
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to cover the program related to EDCOM 2 and CAPE.

asr-001019
00:52:24.460 --> 00:52:26.040
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: So, moved, Madam Chair.

asr-001020
00:52:26.500 --> 00:52:28.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion. Any second?

asr-001021
00:52:28.300 --> 00:52:29.140
Rep. Brian Poe: I second the motion.

asr-001022
00:52:30.200 --> 00:52:32.100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion. Any objection?

asr-001023
00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:33.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection,

asr-001024
00:52:34.200 --> 00:52:36.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it has been duly seconded. The motion is carried.

asr-001025
00:52:36.560 --> 00:52:40.520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 70 million pesos for the UP Center for Education and Development

asr-001026
00:52:40.520 --> 00:52:41.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: under the UP system.

asr-001027
00:52:41.980 --> 00:52:42.980
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair.

asr-001029
00:52:43.980 --> 00:52:44.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes.

asr-001030
00:52:44.980 --> 00:52:45.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Brian.

asr-001031
00:52:45.980 --> 00:52:46.980
Rep. Brian Poe: Yes.

asr-001032
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.

asr-001033
00:52:53.980 --> 00:53:03.000
Rep. Brian Poe: So, Madam Chair, under program, under the UP system, under the Resilience Institute,

asr-001034
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.

asr-001035
00:53:11.040 --> 00:53:11.540
Rep. Brian Poe: Yes.

asr-001036
00:53:11.540 --> 00:53:13.540
Rep. Brian Poe: There is a request for 275 million pesos increase.

asr-001037
00:53:13.540 --> 00:53:16.220
Rep. Brian Poe: I was hoping that the BARSC would consider it.

asr-001038
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,

asr-001039
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.

asr-001040
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:34.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Before we rule on the motion, I just wanted to manifest.

asr-001041
00:53:34.500 --> 00:53:40.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, last year, the BARSC and the House, and eventually,

asr-001042
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

asr-001043
00:53:47.660 --> 00:53:50.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the 2026 budget.

asr-001044
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

asr-001045
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

asr-001046
00:54:04.260 --> 00:54:08.380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at iba pang mga flood management designs and mechanisms.

asr-001047
00:54:08.380 --> 00:54:11.380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, I believe I had

asr-001048
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,

asr-001049
00:54:16.860 --> 00:54:19.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and they've already received the 1 billion pesos.

asr-001050
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,

asr-001051
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.

asr-001052
00:54:29.200 --> 00:54:31.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, ang lagi pong sinasabi ngayon ni Professor Mahar,

asr-001053
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

asr-001054
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.

asr-001055
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

asr-001056
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.

asr-001057
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,

asr-001058
00:55:03.960 --> 00:55:11.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: all the items under 002 in DPWH, so flood control,

asr-001059
00:55:11.140 --> 00:55:12.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: drainage, and the like.

asr-001060
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

asr-001061
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

asr-001062
00:55:25.480 --> 00:55:30.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: are properly vetted and implementable po, and needed talaga.

asr-001063
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.

asr-001064
00:55:37.940 --> 00:55:40.420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at sana po mas mapaganda pa nila

asr-001065
00:55:41.140 --> 00:55:42.380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 'yung nasimulan nila dito po.

asr-001066
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

asr-001067
00:55:50.800 --> 00:55:55.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion—million, sorry, 275 million, very important mistake,

asr-001068
00:55:56.120 --> 00:55:59.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 275 million towards Project NOAA.

asr-001069
00:56:01.360 --> 00:56:02.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any second po?

asr-001070
00:56:03.520 --> 00:56:04.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion.

asr-001071
00:56:04.980 --> 00:56:07.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Duly seconded. There being no objection, the motion is carried.

asr-001072
00:56:08.340 --> 00:56:08.860
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair?

asr-001073
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.

asr-001074
00:56:21.360 --> 00:56:24.420
Rep. Brian Poe: There's a request for 15 million pesos.

asr-001075
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.

asr-001076
00:56:34.340 --> 00:56:36.360
Rep. Brian Poe: May I move for the inclusion?

asr-001077
00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:38.180
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, it's 15, right?

asr-001078
00:56:38.200 --> 00:56:39.220
Rep. Brian Poe: 15, 1-5.

asr-001079
00:56:39.260 --> 00:56:39.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 1-5, yeah.

asr-001080
00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:40.520
Committee member/seconding voice: Second.

asr-001082
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?

asr-001083
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.

asr-001084
00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:52.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Wait, let's clarify the motion.

asr-001085
00:56:52.820 --> 00:56:55.120
Rep. Brian Poe: It's 15, it's 1-5, it's 1-5.

asr-001086
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?

asr-001087
00:57:02.380 --> 00:57:03.060
Rep. Brian Poe: Yes, UP Diliman.

asr-001088
00:57:03.080 --> 00:57:05.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: UP Diliman Institute of Mathematics.

asr-001089
00:57:05.780 --> 00:57:06.000
Committee member/seconding voice: Second.

asr-001090
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:09.280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And then, duly seconded. There being no objection, the motion is carried.

asr-001091
00:57:10.060 --> 00:57:10.720
Rep. Brian Poe: Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-001093
00:57:11.140 --> 00:57:12.460
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Quick manifestation on that.

asr-001094
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.

asr-001095
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,

asr-001096
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.

asr-001097
00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:38.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's actually quite surprising.

asr-001098
00:57:38.720 --> 00:57:39.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Zero siya.

asr-001099
00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:41.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Zero under the NEP.

asr-001100
00:57:41.140 --> 00:57:42.680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you for raising that point.

asr-001101
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?

asr-001102
00:57:57.620 --> 00:57:58.240
Rep. Stephen James T. Tan: Madam Chair?

asr-001103
00:57:58.840 --> 00:58:00.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Representative Stephen James.

asr-001104
00:58:00.300 --> 00:58:03.680
Rep. Stephen James T. Tan: There is a request also coming from the HUCs.

asr-001105
00:58:03.680 --> 00:58:10.680
Rep. Stephen James T. Tan: They're requesting 456 million

asr-001106
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.

asr-001107
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.

asr-001108
00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:35.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

asr-001110
00:58:36.560 --> 00:58:38.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Stephen, may I just clarify?

asr-001111
00:58:39.120 --> 00:58:40.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, these are different states.

asr-001112
00:58:41.140 --> 00:58:41.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: State universities.

asr-001113
00:58:42.240 --> 00:58:43.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's not just one, right?

asr-001114
00:58:43.940 --> 00:58:46.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It's various state universities.

asr-001115

01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:43.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion pesos

asr-001255
01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:44.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: towards the education cluster.

asr-001270
01:06:51.380 --> 01:06:51.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So

asr-001271
01:06:51.920 --> 01:06:52.180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with

asr-001272
01:06:52.180 --> 01:06:54.620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that po, we adhere to our commitment.

asr-001273
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

asr-001274
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.

asr-001275
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.

asr-001276
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.

asr-001277
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,

asr-001278
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.

asr-001279
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.

asr-001280
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,

asr-001281
01:07:51.780 --> 01:07:52.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung ating budget.

asr-001282
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,

asr-001283
01:07:58.340 --> 01:08:01.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to the Department of Agriculture, and the agriculture sector in general.

asr-001284
01:08:02.760 --> 01:08:04.440
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, thank you very much Madam Chair.

asr-001285
01:08:05.120 --> 01:08:06.760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair, I could not...

asr-001286
01:08:06.760 --> 01:08:07.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'd like to recognize...

asr-001287
01:08:07.960 --> 01:08:09.400
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, thank you. My apologies Madam Chair.

asr-001288
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,

asr-001289
01:08:13.140 --> 01:08:14.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Mark Enverga.

asr-001290
01:08:14.540 --> 01:08:15.900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Thank you once again Madam Chair.

asr-001291
01:08:15.900 --> 01:08:18.900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: And again, I wish to re-emphasize the...

asr-001292
01:08:18.900 --> 01:08:22.740
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: the looming problem of El Nino,

asr-001293
01:08:23.220 --> 01:08:25.240
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: as well as the rising costs of fuel,

asr-001294
01:08:25.380 --> 01:08:30.040
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: which would impact the agricultural sector as well.

asr-001295
01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:33.500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, Madam Chair, for the record,

asr-001296
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.

asr-001297
01:08:38.660 --> 01:08:40.600
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: And it is quite lengthy,

asr-001298
01:08:41.160 --> 01:08:42.760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: but unfortunately we should focus,

asr-001299
01:08:42.760 --> 01:08:44.120
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I agree with you Madam Chair,

asr-001300
01:08:44.200 --> 01:08:47.760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that we should re-focus our attentions in the mitigation projects

asr-001301
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.

asr-001302
01:08:54.820 --> 01:08:56.520
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: If I may start Madam Chair,

asr-001303
01:08:57.100 --> 01:09:02.760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: currently the Department of Agriculture already has a fertilizer assistance program.

asr-001304
01:09:03.480 --> 01:09:07.180
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, they propose an expanded fertilizer assistance program,

asr-001305
01:09:08.260 --> 01:09:11.280
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: currently with a NEP budget in the year 2027

asr-001306
01:09:11.280 --> 01:09:17.280
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: of 14,443,499,000.

asr-001307
01:09:17.760 --> 01:09:19.660
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: May I move Madam Chair,

asr-001308
01:09:20.480 --> 01:09:22.400
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that since this program is very much needed,

asr-001309
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,

asr-001310
01:09:26.520 --> 01:09:29.620
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: and to assure them that there is support from government,

asr-001311
01:09:30.120 --> 01:09:31.440
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: particularly for fertilizer.

asr-001312
01:09:32.080 --> 01:09:33.320
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: May I move Madam Chair,

asr-001313
01:09:33.500 --> 01:09:39.580
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that I propose the amount of increase of 500 million pesos

asr-001314
01:09:39.580 --> 01:09:42.920
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to the expanded fertilizer assistance program of DA.

asr-001315
01:09:43.460 --> 01:09:44.320
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, I move Madam Chair.

asr-001316
01:09:45.580 --> 01:09:47.520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion to add...

asr-001317
01:09:47.760 --> 01:09:50.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: an additional half a billion pesos

asr-001318
01:09:50.220 --> 01:09:53.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to the expanded fertilizer assistance.

asr-001319
01:09:53.300 --> 01:09:55.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been duly seconded.

asr-001320
01:09:55.100 --> 01:09:57.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection, the motion is carried.

asr-001321
01:09:58.020 --> 01:10:00.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I remember this, Chair Mark,

asr-001322
01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:03.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nung nandoon po tayo sa budget deliberation ng DA,

asr-001323
01:10:03.400 --> 01:10:05.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we asked Secretary Kiko Tiu Laurel

asr-001324
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.

asr-001325
01:10:12.780 --> 01:10:15.620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ito po yung pinakauna talaga na binanggit nila sa Kiko.

asr-001326
01:10:15.620 --> 01:10:17.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And I believe, even during the uplift,

asr-001327
01:10:17.760 --> 01:10:20.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ito po yung una nila ding pinondohan

asr-001328
01:10:20.340 --> 01:10:21.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kasi ito yung unang nagmamahal

asr-001329
01:10:21.980 --> 01:10:24.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kapag tumataas po yung presyo ng crudo.

asr-001330
01:10:25.500 --> 01:10:27.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yung fertilizer po talaga sobrang nagmamahal.

asr-001331
01:10:28.080 --> 01:10:31.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, thank you, Chair Mark, for manifesting that.

asr-001332
01:10:32.060 --> 01:10:34.100
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, before we continue...

asr-001333
01:10:34.100 --> 01:10:34.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Representative Brian.

asr-001334
01:10:35.260 --> 01:10:37.020
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, before we continue,

asr-001335
01:10:37.160 --> 01:10:42.340
Rep. Brian Poe: because the budget for fertilizer is unspecified per crop,

asr-001336
01:10:42.500 --> 01:10:47.040
Rep. Brian Poe: there is a specific crop that I would be remiss in not championing.

asr-001337
01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:51.320
Rep. Brian Poe: I hope that we can align some of this budget

asr-001338
01:10:51.320 --> 01:10:54.020
Rep. Brian Poe: to support the Ube industry of the Philippines.

asr-001339
01:10:54.680 --> 01:10:57.140
Rep. Brian Poe: I believe there are requests within the department

asr-001340
01:10:57.140 --> 01:10:59.400
Rep. Brian Poe: to support the Ube industry.

asr-001341
01:10:59.560 --> 01:11:01.460
Rep. Brian Poe: And I think that sayang naman

asr-001342
01:11:01.460 --> 01:11:06.980
Rep. Brian Poe: kung maiiwan tayo ulit ng neighbors natin pagdating sa ube.

asr-001343
01:11:07.360 --> 01:11:11.240
Rep. Brian Poe: This is something nationally important to us.

asr-001344
01:11:11.780 --> 01:11:14.220
Rep. Brian Poe: So, if I may suggest and if I may move

asr-001345
01:11:14.220 --> 01:11:17.740
Rep. Brian Poe: that we realign 100 million of that,

asr-001346
01:11:17.740 --> 01:11:22.820
Rep. Brian Poe: to support specifically Ube farming here in the Philippines.

asr-001347
01:11:30.500 --> 01:11:35.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May I defer to Chair Mark?

asr-001348
01:11:35.200 --> 01:11:36.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because I don't want to preempt,

asr-001349
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.

asr-001350
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?

asr-001351
01:11:46.420 --> 01:11:47.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes.

asr-001352
01:11:47.740 --> 01:11:50.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Maybe rather than realigning,

asr-001353
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.

asr-001354
01:11:55.900 --> 01:11:57.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, Chair Mark, I'd like to defer to you.

asr-001355
01:11:57.880 --> 01:11:58.900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-001356
01:11:59.200 --> 01:12:06.140
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: We are very much welcome to include the Ube export program.

asr-001357
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

asr-001358
01:12:10.720 --> 01:12:16.620
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to include Ube export,

asr-001359
01:12:16.620 --> 01:12:17.500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: ano, with the

asr-001360
01:12:17.500 --> 01:12:21.600
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: in terms of the budget.

asr-001362
01:12:23.800 --> 01:12:24.020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes.

asr-001363
01:12:24.020 --> 01:12:28.500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, Madam Chair.

asr-001364
01:12:28.660 --> 01:12:29.440
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: May I continue?

asr-001365
01:12:29.720 --> 01:12:29.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes.

asr-001366
01:12:30.160 --> 01:12:33.560
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, yes, I would accede to Donable Brian Poe.

asr-001367
01:12:33.640 --> 01:12:36.460
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Probably, Madam Chair, would it be okay at the proper time

asr-001368
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?

asr-001369
01:12:40.200 --> 01:12:40.400
Rep. Brian Poe: Sure.

asr-001370
01:12:40.980 --> 01:12:43.240
Rep. Brian Poe: For now, Madam Chair, I'll retract my motion.

asr-001371
01:12:43.240 --> 01:12:47.240
Rep. Brian Poe: But I leave it as a manifestation instead that we take up this,

asr-001372
01:12:47.500 --> 01:12:49.760
Rep. Brian Poe: the funds for Ube here in the Philippines.

asr-001373
01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:52.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Representative Brian Poe.

asr-001374
01:12:52.200 --> 01:12:54.940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And with that, Chair Mark, please proceed with other items.

asr-001375
01:12:55.400 --> 01:12:56.260
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Madam Chair, very short.

asr-001376
01:12:57.080 --> 01:12:58.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Talagang pag-Ube.

asr-001377
01:12:58.220 --> 01:12:58.820
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Pag-Ube.

asr-001378
01:12:59.440 --> 01:13:00.500
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Anong color ng Ube?

asr-001379
01:13:01.140 --> 01:13:01.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yellow.

asr-001380
01:13:01.800 --> 01:13:01.940
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Yeah.

asr-001381
01:13:03.040 --> 01:13:04.040
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Of course, Madam Chair.

asr-001382
01:13:04.040 --> 01:13:04.580
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: I will third.

asr-001383
01:13:04.780 --> 01:13:05.140
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Not second.

asr-001384
01:13:05.240 --> 01:13:07.340
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: I will third, Madam Chair, later at the proper time.

asr-001385
01:13:07.720 --> 01:13:09.340
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I appreciate that, Madam Chair.

asr-001386
01:13:10.540 --> 01:13:10.800
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes.

asr-001387
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:11.400
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Thank you.

asr-001388
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.

asr-001389
01:13:15.140 --> 01:13:17.100
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I think the motion would be best.

asr-001390
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.

asr-001391
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,

asr-001392
01:13:29.080 --> 01:13:30.480
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: the super El Nino phenomenon,

asr-001393
01:13:31.140 --> 01:13:36.520
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: and, of course, the looming probable increases in gas prices,

asr-001394
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,

asr-001395
01:13:43.540 --> 01:13:46.360
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: which is the solar pumps for irrigation.

asr-001396
01:13:47.380 --> 01:13:47.480
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Okay.

asr-001397
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.

asr-001398
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.

asr-001399
01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:02.700
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, this would fall under the DABSWM.

asr-001400
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.

asr-001401
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,

asr-001402
01:14:17.500 --> 01:14:18.160
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: for this specific program.

asr-001403
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,

asr-001404
01:14:23.600 --> 01:14:26.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and perhaps this is better directed to DA.

asr-001405
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.

asr-001406
01:14:29.440 --> 01:14:33.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And clarify naman po ni Chair Mark that the serviceable area,

asr-001407
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.

asr-001408
01:14:38.700 --> 01:14:39.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yun lang po.

asr-001409
01:14:39.180 --> 01:14:42.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kasi baka lang mag-overlap po yung functions sila dalawa.

asr-001410
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,

asr-001411
01:14:47.500 --> 01:14:52.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for NIA, for EPIP, for the solar irrigation pumps.

asr-001412
01:14:53.080 --> 01:14:54.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, iba po talaga ito.

asr-001413
01:14:54.240 --> 01:14:56.940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Makaiba po itong dalawang programa ng DA at NIA.

asr-001414
01:14:57.360 --> 01:14:58.460
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-001415
01:14:58.620 --> 01:15:00.540
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I could not say it better.

asr-001416
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.

asr-001417
01:15:05.740 --> 01:15:06.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

asr-001418
01:15:06.180 --> 01:15:07.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Chair Mark.

asr-001419
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?

asr-001420
01:15:13.420 --> 01:15:14.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry, 125 million.

asr-001421
01:15:14.940 --> 01:15:16.500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: 125 million, Madam Chair.

asr-001422
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.

asr-001423
01:15:22.020 --> 01:15:22.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any second?

asr-001424
01:15:23.660 --> 01:15:24.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been truly seconded.

asr-001425
01:15:24.860 --> 01:15:26.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection, the motion is carried.

asr-001426
01:15:27.640 --> 01:15:29.920
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and to my dear colleagues.

asr-001427
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,

asr-001428
01:15:37.560 --> 01:15:40.040
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: particularly for the fishery sector.

asr-001429
01:15:40.680 --> 01:15:46.260
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: We've observed that there is difficulty for isolated areas.

asr-001430
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.

asr-001431
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.

asr-001432
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.

asr-001433
01:16:13.540 --> 01:16:15.980
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: May I move, Madam Chair, that we include 100?

asr-001434
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.

asr-001435
01:16:26.820 --> 01:16:27.560
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, move, Madam Chair.

asr-001436
01:16:28.060 --> 01:16:28.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

asr-001437
01:16:28.600 --> 01:16:30.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair, just to clarify, this is under BFAR, right?

asr-001438
01:16:31.100 --> 01:16:35.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Not the overall DA umbrella?

asr-001439
01:16:35.500 --> 01:16:36.920
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, Madam Chair, that is correct.

asr-001440
01:16:37.080 --> 01:16:37.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, po.

asr-001441
01:16:37.980 --> 01:16:38.900
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Question, Madam Chair.

asr-001442
01:16:39.100 --> 01:16:39.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, po.

asr-001443
01:16:40.340 --> 01:16:41.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chairman Josep P.

asr-001444
01:16:41.920 --> 01:16:43.700
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: I'd like to ask about this.

asr-001445
01:16:44.280 --> 01:16:46.280
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Are these ice plants or cold storage?

asr-001446
01:16:46.500 --> 01:16:49.240
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Ah, Madam Chair, may I be recognized?

asr-001447
01:16:49.860 --> 01:16:52.520
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: These are ice plants, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

asr-001448
01:16:52.860 --> 01:16:55.400
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, ice producing equipments?

asr-001449
01:16:56.000 --> 01:16:57.900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, Madam Chair.

asr-001450
01:16:57.940 --> 01:16:59.440
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: 125 million.

asr-001451
01:17:00.120 --> 01:17:02.020
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: How many units will this be?

asr-001452
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.

asr-001453
01:17:11.700 --> 01:17:14.380
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Some are air-to-water technology, which are available.

asr-001454
01:17:14.380 --> 01:17:16.200
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: But again, it's subjective.

asr-001455
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

asr-001456
01:17:23.000 --> 01:17:26.280
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: proposed areas for proposals.

asr-001457
01:17:26.680 --> 01:17:28.220
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: No objection, Madam Chair.

asr-001458
01:17:28.320 --> 01:17:31.720
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: I just want to manifest the distribution of this

asr-001459
01:17:31.720 --> 01:17:36.200
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: should be evenly distributed to the necessary areas

asr-001460
01:17:36.200 --> 01:17:38.060
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: na kailangan na kailangan talaga nila ito.

asr-001461
01:17:38.520 --> 01:17:41.660
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Particularly sa mga isla na fishing grounds.

asr-001462
01:17:42.120 --> 01:17:44.300
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: I support this increase, Madam Chair.

asr-001463
01:17:44.360 --> 01:17:47.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Mark, again, how many units for this?

asr-001464
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?

asr-001465
01:17:59.960 --> 01:18:01.860
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Well, Madam Chair, it depends, Ma'am.

asr-001466
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,

asr-001467
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.

asr-001468
01:18:13.560 --> 01:18:15.940
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: But if there's a desalination,

asr-001469
01:18:17.000 --> 01:18:21.040
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: option for a certain island, isolated island,

asr-001470
01:18:21.260 --> 01:18:22.280
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: it would be much cheaper.

asr-001471
01:18:23.100 --> 01:18:26.000
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So it would be difficult, Madam Chair, to answer the question.

asr-001472
01:18:26.100 --> 01:18:27.680
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Will you leave it up to DA, I guess,

asr-001473
01:18:28.160 --> 01:18:29.420
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: in terms of the implementation?

asr-001474
01:18:30.120 --> 01:18:33.940
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So I could not give a definitive answer.

asr-001475
01:18:34.140 --> 01:18:36.380
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: But at least this gives them the flexibility

asr-001476
01:18:36.380 --> 01:18:37.880
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to use various technologies

asr-001477
01:18:37.880 --> 01:18:42.080
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that could produce the ice plant facility.

asr-001478
01:18:42.080 --> 01:18:43.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think, Chair Mark, if I'm correct,

asr-001479
01:18:43.840 --> 01:18:45.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: this is a pilot program, right?

asr-001480
01:18:45.360 --> 01:18:46.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because I've never...

asr-001481
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.

asr-001482
01:18:50.820 --> 01:18:51.480
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, Madam Chair.

asr-001483
01:18:51.600 --> 01:18:55.840
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: In fact, they are already piloting two areas

asr-001484
01:18:55.840 --> 01:18:59.760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: for the solar ice plants,

asr-001485
01:19:00.360 --> 01:19:03.020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: particularly using air-to-water technology.

asr-001486
01:19:03.760 --> 01:19:08.820
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So these are highly potential opportunities

asr-001487
01:19:08.820 --> 01:19:10.340
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: for the fishery sector.

asr-001488
01:19:10.340 --> 01:19:14.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: For DA, I hope, as Chair Pipito manifested,

asr-001489
01:19:14.440 --> 01:19:15.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: you can put one,

asr-001490
01:19:16.140 --> 01:19:18.680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: isa sa Luzon, isa sa Visayas, isa sa Mindanao.

asr-001491
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.

asr-001492
01:19:22.900 --> 01:19:25.260
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: This is their fiscal space in Palawan.

asr-001493
01:19:26.880 --> 01:19:28.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: As manifested by Chair Pipito.

asr-001494
01:19:28.780 --> 01:19:29.960
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Remember, Madam Chair,

asr-001495
01:19:30.160 --> 01:19:34.480
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Palawan is supplying 60% of the cuts to Manila,

asr-001496
01:19:34.620 --> 01:19:35.120
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Metro Manila.

asr-001497
01:19:35.540 --> 01:19:37.560
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: It's all from the waters of Palawan.

asr-001498
01:19:38.380 --> 01:19:40.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: DA, please, I know you're watching, Paul.

asr-001499
01:19:40.720 --> 01:19:44.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Please consider the manifestation of Representative Pipito Alvarez.

asr-001500
01:19:45.480 --> 01:19:45.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a...

asr-001501
01:19:45.980 --> 01:19:46.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a...

asr-001502
01:19:46.020 --> 01:19:48.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion put forth by...

asr-001503
01:19:48.760 --> 01:19:49.420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to...

asr-001504
01:19:49.420 --> 01:19:49.860
Committee member/seconding voice: Second.

asr-001505
01:19:50.360 --> 01:19:50.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to...

asr-001506
01:19:50.860 --> 01:19:52.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry, to...

asr-001507
01:19:52.000 --> 01:19:55.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: provide 105 million pesos

asr-001508
01:19:55.320 --> 01:20:00.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: towards the provision of hybrid solar-powered ice plants.

asr-001509
01:20:00.500 --> 01:20:01.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been duly seconded.

asr-001510
01:20:01.660 --> 01:20:03.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection, the motion is carried.

asr-001511
01:20:03.960 --> 01:20:06.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry po, we asked around it

asr-001512
01:20:06.080 --> 01:20:07.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because it's a new program po,

asr-001513
01:20:07.720 --> 01:20:08.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so we're very interested.

asr-001514
01:20:09.920 --> 01:20:12.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Next po, Chair Mark, anything else from your end po?

asr-001515
01:20:12.620 --> 01:20:13.360
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, Madam Chair.

asr-001516
01:20:13.860 --> 01:20:14.900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: With your permission,

asr-001517
01:20:14.900 --> 01:20:15.900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: if there is...

asr-001518
01:20:16.020 --> 01:20:18.020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: If there is also a request

asr-001519
01:20:18.020 --> 01:20:24.020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: of the implementation of the Agri-Transport and Support Infrastructure Project,

asr-001520
01:20:24.020 --> 01:20:27.020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to be more definitive about this program, Madam Chair,

asr-001521
01:20:27.020 --> 01:20:30.020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: this would be the cable car systems,

asr-001522
01:20:30.020 --> 01:20:34.020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: which would be much cheaper for high-value crops

asr-001523
01:20:34.020 --> 01:20:36.020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: being planted in the mountainous areas.

asr-001524
01:20:36.020 --> 01:20:41.020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So rather than building costly farm-to-market roads,

asr-001525
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.

asr-001526
01:20:45.860 --> 01:20:48.860
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Which would be much cheaper and more economical

asr-001527
01:20:48.860 --> 01:20:53.100
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: for our production system in high-value crops.

asr-001528
01:20:55.620 --> 01:20:57.680
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Parang tram line, Ma'am?

asr-001529
01:20:59.540 --> 01:21:01.000
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, cable siya na.

asr-001530
01:21:01.180 --> 01:21:02.220
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Tram line.

asr-001531
01:21:02.400 --> 01:21:02.820
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Tram line.

asr-001532
01:21:04.020 --> 01:21:07.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, Chair Mark, sorry, we're very interested po.

asr-001533
01:21:07.620 --> 01:21:09.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So does that mean this would help the farmers?

asr-001534
01:21:10.140 --> 01:21:11.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Halimbawa po, the farmers in Benguet,

asr-001535
01:21:12.580 --> 01:21:13.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po yung mga...

asr-001536
01:21:13.860 --> 01:21:16.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because earlier this year,

asr-001537
01:21:16.140 --> 01:21:18.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: a lot of the farmers in Benguet had a problem po.

asr-001538
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

asr-001539
01:21:23.140 --> 01:21:27.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: dahil hindi na po nila maibaba yung kanilang mga inane.

asr-001540
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

asr-001541
01:21:33.160 --> 01:21:34.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: dun po ba sa may gawing Benguet?

asr-001542
01:21:35.200 --> 01:21:36.720
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: As advised, Madam Chair,

asr-001543
01:21:37.180 --> 01:21:41.500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Benguet is only one, a portion only of Benguet,

asr-001544
01:21:41.600 --> 01:21:43.640
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: but there are also various areas,

asr-001545
01:21:43.640 --> 01:21:45.500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: within the country that would need this.

asr-001546
01:21:45.760 --> 01:21:47.980
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So definitely these are the mountainous areas

asr-001547
01:21:47.980 --> 01:21:50.260
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: of high potential of production,

asr-001548
01:21:50.640 --> 01:21:52.780
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: key production areas as well.

asr-001549
01:21:53.460 --> 01:21:56.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Again to DA, sorry, ano po eh, napansin ko pa.

asr-001550
01:21:57.200 --> 01:22:00.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Please consider putting it in areas po like Benguet

asr-001551
01:22:00.040 --> 01:22:04.280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kung saan po pinakamaraming mga magsasakay yung

asr-001552
01:22:04.280 --> 01:22:07.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung mga vegetable farmers po natin

asr-001553
01:22:07.000 --> 01:22:09.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na tinatapon na lang po yung kanilang mga inane

asr-001554
01:22:10.160 --> 01:22:11.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kasi hindi po nila maibaba.

asr-001555
01:22:11.760 --> 01:22:12.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So hopefully,

asr-001556
01:22:13.640 --> 01:22:16.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: excited po kami na makita ito

asr-001557
01:22:16.140 --> 01:22:19.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pero sana po pilihin po ng maigin ng DA

asr-001558
01:22:19.800 --> 01:22:20.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kung saan po ilalagay.

asr-001559
01:22:21.380 --> 01:22:24.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So again, Chair Mark, how much is it po?

asr-001560
01:22:24.960 --> 01:22:25.960
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair,

asr-001561
01:22:26.460 --> 01:22:29.060
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: there is no budget for 2027

asr-001562
01:22:29.060 --> 01:22:32.740
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: but may I move that we include 150 million pesos

asr-001563
01:22:32.740 --> 01:22:35.600
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: for this particular project.

asr-001564
01:22:36.160 --> 01:22:39.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion to include or add,

asr-001565
01:22:40.100 --> 01:22:41.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: not add, actually provide

asr-001566
01:22:41.880 --> 01:22:43.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kasi zero po siya sa NEP.

asr-001567
01:22:43.140 --> 01:22:46.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion to put 150 million pesos

asr-001568
01:22:46.640 --> 01:22:53.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: towards the creation of an agri-transport system

asr-001569
01:22:53.640 --> 01:22:56.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: like a tram system under the Department of Agriculture.

asr-001570
01:22:57.320 --> 01:22:58.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any second po?

asr-001571
01:22:59.080 --> 01:23:01.420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been truly seconded.

asr-001572
01:23:01.540 --> 01:23:03.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection, the motion is carried.

asr-001573
01:23:04.020 --> 01:23:07.780
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Thank you, Madam Chair, and to my dear colleagues.

asr-001574
01:23:08.480 --> 01:23:09.980
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair, if I may continue,

asr-001575
01:23:09.980 --> 01:23:15.980
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: still, we still need better logistics throughout the country.

asr-001576
01:23:16.980 --> 01:23:19.180
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: May I also propose, Madam Chair,

asr-001577
01:23:19.300 --> 01:23:23.800
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that we still increase our farm-to-market road programs.

asr-001578
01:23:25.860 --> 01:23:26.940
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So with that, Madam Chair,

asr-001579
01:23:27.100 --> 01:23:30.920
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I believe that we have 16 billion already available.

asr-001580
01:23:31.640 --> 01:23:34.140
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Unfortunately, we see key potential areas

asr-001581
01:23:34.140 --> 01:23:36.980
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that still need to be serviced with farm-to-market roads.

asr-001582
01:23:37.600 --> 01:23:38.320
Committee member/seconding voice: Second, the motion.

asr-001583
01:23:38.320 --> 01:23:39.540
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, Madam Chair,

asr-001584
01:23:39.980 --> 01:23:40.720
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair,

asr-001585
01:23:40.900 --> 01:23:42.960
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair,

asr-001586
01:23:43.500 --> 01:23:45.140
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: so I can propose any amount?

asr-001587
01:23:48.140 --> 01:23:49.460
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair, so with that,

asr-001588
01:23:49.800 --> 01:23:51.240
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: may I propose the amount of

asr-001589
01:23:51.240 --> 01:23:56.760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: 4,960,224,000

asr-001590
01:23:56.760 --> 01:23:59.980
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to be included in the

asr-001591
01:23:59.980 --> 01:24:02.640
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: provision for additional budget.

asr-001592
01:24:03.140 --> 01:24:04.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Mark, just for the people

asr-001593
01:24:04.760 --> 01:24:06.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: taking note in the Excel file,

asr-001594
01:24:06.520 --> 01:24:07.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: may I please reiterate the amount?

asr-001595
01:24:08.220 --> 01:24:09.760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Yes, the amount is 4,960,224,000.

asr-001596
01:24:09.980 --> 01:24:17.120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion to add 4.96 billion

asr-001597
01:24:17.120 --> 01:24:20.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: towards additional farm-to-market roads.

asr-001598
01:24:21.220 --> 01:24:23.380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been duly seconded.

asr-001599
01:24:23.960 --> 01:24:25.180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection,

asr-001600
01:24:25.340 --> 01:24:26.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the motion is carried.

asr-001601
01:24:26.860 --> 01:24:29.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Perhaps I will make the same manifestation

asr-001602
01:24:29.080 --> 01:24:30.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that I did with regard to

asr-001603
01:24:30.880 --> 01:24:34.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the basic education facilities program.

asr-001604
01:24:35.720 --> 01:24:37.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Congress will exercise our function

asr-001605
01:24:37.880 --> 01:24:39.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to ensure that the implementation

asr-001606
01:24:39.980 --> 01:24:41.680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of farm-to-market roads

asr-001607
01:24:41.680 --> 01:24:43.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: will not be delayed

asr-001608
01:24:43.220 --> 01:24:48.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in 2025, 2026, and 2027.

asr-001609
01:24:48.320 --> 01:24:48.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, we will try

asr-001610
01:24:48.900 --> 01:24:51.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the DA to make sure

asr-001611
01:24:51.460 --> 01:24:53.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that the implementation

asr-001612
01:24:53.660 --> 01:24:55.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of farm-to-market roads will be quick.

asr-001613
01:24:55.500 --> 01:24:56.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Mark, any other messages?

asr-001614
01:24:56.500 --> 01:24:58.240
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

asr-001615
01:24:59.300 --> 01:25:00.160
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Also, Madam Chair,

asr-001616
01:25:01.380 --> 01:25:03.380
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: fish ports still remain to be

asr-001617
01:25:03.380 --> 01:25:07.720
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: an important program

asr-001618
01:25:07.720 --> 01:25:08.960
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that we need to support.

asr-001619
01:25:09.200 --> 01:25:09.840
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, I think,

asr-001620
01:25:09.980 --> 01:25:12.020
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I believe that we need

asr-001621
01:25:12.020 --> 01:25:13.500
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to support the construction

asr-001622
01:25:13.500 --> 01:25:14.240
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: and rehabilitation

asr-001623
01:25:14.240 --> 01:25:15.680
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: and improvement of fish ports

asr-001624
01:25:15.680 --> 01:25:16.540
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: throughout the country

asr-001625
01:25:16.540 --> 01:25:18.640
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: under the DA-PFDA

asr-001626
01:25:18.640 --> 01:25:23.680
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to be included,

asr-001627
01:25:24.260 --> 01:25:25.760
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: to be augmented, I mean.

asr-001628
01:25:26.860 --> 01:25:28.080
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, currently, Madam Chair,

asr-001629
01:25:28.560 --> 01:25:30.220
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: there is a budget in the NEP

asr-001630
01:25:30.220 --> 01:25:36.460
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: of 2,100,000,000 pesos.

asr-001631
01:25:37.520 --> 01:25:38.920
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: With that, Madam Chair,

asr-001632
01:25:39.060 --> 01:25:39.620
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: may I,

asr-001633
01:25:39.980 --> 01:25:43.120
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: move that we augment it

asr-001634
01:25:43.120 --> 01:25:45.000
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: with another 500,000,000 pesos?

asr-001635
01:25:46.380 --> 01:25:47.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion

asr-001636
01:25:47.740 --> 01:25:49.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to lodge an additional

asr-001637
01:25:49.700 --> 01:25:52.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 500,000,000 under PFDA

asr-001638
01:25:52.140 --> 01:25:55.220

01:25:55.220 --> 01:25:56.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and rehabilitation

asr-001640
01:25:56.240 --> 01:25:57.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and improvements of fish ports.

asr-001641
01:25:58.420 --> 01:25:59.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been truly seconded.

asr-001642
01:25:59.800 --> 01:26:01.720
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Madam Chair, before you...

asr-001645
01:26:04.560 --> 01:26:06.220

01:26:06.220 --> 01:26:08.660
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: to the proponent

01:26:11.860 --> 01:26:12.380
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: is included,

asr-001650
01:26:12.580 --> 01:26:13.440
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: which was damaged

asr-001651
01:26:13.440 --> 01:26:15.040
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: during the last earthquake.

asr-001652
01:26:16.920 --> 01:26:17.860
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair,

asr-001653
01:26:18.040 --> 01:26:19.780
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: I did not get the detail,

asr-001654
01:26:20.200 --> 01:26:20.800
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: but I know

asr-001655
01:26:20.800 --> 01:26:22.440
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: the Department of Agriculture

asr-001656
01:26:22.440 --> 01:26:23.660
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: has told me that

asr-001657
01:26:23.660 --> 01:26:24.900
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: it is part of the,

asr-001658
01:26:25.460 --> 01:26:26.980
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: part of their programming

asr-001659
01:26:26.980 --> 01:26:28.780
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that it be a priority

asr-001660
01:26:28.780 --> 01:26:31.000
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: under the program of the PFDA.

asr-001661
01:26:32.000 --> 01:26:33.520
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: So, with that, Madam Chair,

asr-001662
01:26:33.580 --> 01:26:35.360
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: that is what I can only relate to

asr-001663
01:26:35.360 --> 01:26:37.120
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: the Honorable Senior Deputy Speaker.

asr-001664
01:26:38.380 --> 01:26:39.720
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-001665
01:26:39.980 --> 01:26:41.260
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: And just make sure

asr-001666

01:31:44.780 --> 01:31:48.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nung nagkaroon po, nung nagsimula po yung Middle East crisis

asr-001813
01:31:48.040 --> 01:31:49.940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nito po mga nakaraang buwan,

asr-001814
01:31:50.340 --> 01:31:53.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yun po talaga yung naging unang inilabas

asr-001815
01:31:53.200 --> 01:31:56.280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po tumugon sa pangangailangan na ating mga magsasaka

asr-001816
01:31:56.280 --> 01:31:59.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: dahil nga po ang laki nung tinaas nung presyo ng crudo

asr-001817
01:31:59.540 --> 01:32:00.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: kaya po naapektuhan natin.

asr-001818
01:32:00.460 --> 01:32:03.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nakaapektuhan din po yung presyo ng fertilizers

asr-001819
01:32:03.440 --> 01:32:06.180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: at iba pang mga kemikal at iba pang mga farm inputs.

asr-001820
01:32:06.400 --> 01:32:09.280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So I was really surprised when I saw that

asr-001821
01:32:09.280 --> 01:32:12.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: PAF had zero budget in the NEP.

asr-001822
01:32:13.020 --> 01:32:17.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So last year po, tayo po bilang BARSC din

asr-001823
01:32:17.560 --> 01:32:21.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and of course upon the...

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: directive of Speaker

asr-001826
01:32:27.180 --> 01:32:29.200

asr-001827
01:32:30.400 --> 01:32:31.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nakapaglagay po

asr-001828
01:32:31.340 --> 01:32:33.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: tayo ng 10 billion pesos

01:33:15.320 --> 01:33:17.280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So I think we have to continue

asr-001852

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Representative Brian Poe.

asr-001892
01:34:41.060 --> 01:34:42.060
Rep. Brian Poe: Just a manifestation.

asr-001893
01:34:42.920 --> 01:34:44.740
Rep. Brian Poe: From personal experience, kasi

asr-001894
01:34:44.740 --> 01:34:47.200
Rep. Brian Poe: during the crisis, nag-conduct kami

asr-001895
01:34:47.200 --> 01:34:49.120
Rep. Brian Poe: ng consultations with farmers and

asr-001896
01:34:49.120 --> 01:34:51.220
Rep. Brian Poe: fisher folk in Pangasinan. And there are

asr-001897
01:34:51.220 --> 01:34:53.200
Rep. Brian Poe: two major complaints or there are

asr-001898
01:34:53.200 --> 01:34:54.740
Rep. Brian Poe: two major concerns where

asr-001899
01:34:54.740 --> 01:34:57.160
Rep. Brian Poe: yung fuel subsidies for the fisher

asr-001900
01:34:57.160 --> 01:34:59.260
Rep. Brian Poe: folk because it was

asr-001901
01:34:59.260 --> 01:35:01.080
Rep. Brian Poe: becoming so inefficient. And

asr-001902
01:35:01.080 --> 01:35:03.120
Rep. Brian Poe: second was yung concerns

asr-001903
01:35:03.120 --> 01:35:05.340
Rep. Brian Poe: sila sa fertilizer.

asr-001904
01:35:05.800 --> 01:35:07.020
Rep. Brian Poe: This budget directly

asr-001905
01:35:07.020 --> 01:35:08.620
Rep. Brian Poe: addresses both those concerns.

asr-001906
01:35:09.140 --> 01:35:11.200
Rep. Brian Poe: So I hope that our amendments

asr-001907
01:35:11.200 --> 01:35:13.060
Rep. Brian Poe: here in BARSC are maintained all

asr-001908
01:35:13.060 --> 01:35:15.200
Rep. Brian Poe: throughout the budget season, even

asr-001909
01:35:15.200 --> 01:35:17.220
Rep. Brian Poe: leading into BICAM. I know our

asr-001910
01:35:17.220 --> 01:35:19.240
Rep. Brian Poe: friends in the Senate are also

asr-001911
01:35:19.240 --> 01:35:19.680
Rep. Brian Poe: watching.

asr-001912
01:35:21.220 --> 01:35:22.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Representative Brian Poe.

asr-001913
01:35:23.660 --> 01:35:25.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any other manifestations po

asr-001914
01:35:25.660 --> 01:35:27.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the Department of Agriculture?

asr-001915
01:35:27.360 --> 01:35:27.680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes.

asr-001915-split-2
01:35:27.680 --> 01:35:28.380
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Very short.

asr-001916
01:35:29.500 --> 01:35:31.000
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Hopefully, Madam Chair, we could also

asr-001917
01:35:31.000 --> 01:35:32.120
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: put on

asr-001918
01:35:32.120 --> 01:35:35.000
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: maybe a provision that it would

asr-001919
01:35:35.000 --> 01:35:36.480
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: be easier

asr-001920
01:35:36.480 --> 01:35:38.500
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: for farmers,

asr-001921
01:35:39.340 --> 01:35:41.160
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: especially workers, to access

asr-001922
01:35:41.160 --> 01:35:41.700
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: PAF.

asr-001923
01:35:42.860 --> 01:35:45.200
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: For example, Madam Chair, we actually

asr-001924
01:35:45.200 --> 01:35:47.200
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: have farmers in the province

asr-001925
01:35:47.200 --> 01:35:49.060
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: who actually

asr-001926
01:35:49.060 --> 01:35:51.200
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: farms high-valued crops,

asr-001927
01:35:51.220 --> 01:35:53.220
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: for around only about

asr-001928
01:35:53.220 --> 01:35:55.000
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: 500 to

asr-001929
01:35:55.000 --> 01:35:56.580
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: 1,000 square meters.

asr-001930
01:35:57.700 --> 01:35:59.040
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Tapos minsan ang requirement

asr-001931
01:35:59.040 --> 01:36:00.540
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: is an hectare or two.

asr-001932
01:36:01.200 --> 01:36:02.660
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: So they cannot avail.

asr-001933
01:36:03.760 --> 01:36:05.140
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Others, Madam Chair,

asr-001934
01:36:06.240 --> 01:36:07.160
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: there's this

asr-001935
01:36:07.160 --> 01:36:08.460
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: also one example

asr-001936
01:36:08.460 --> 01:36:11.340
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: na farm worker,

asr-001937
01:36:11.480 --> 01:36:13.180
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Kawawa. Tapos

asr-001938
01:36:13.180 --> 01:36:14.220
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: he works,

asr-001939
01:36:15.100 --> 01:36:16.560
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: there's a landlord,

asr-001940
01:36:17.160 --> 01:36:18.860
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: he works and tills the farm,

asr-001941
01:36:18.860 --> 01:36:19.500
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: and

asr-001942
01:36:19.500 --> 01:36:23.100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: when assistance for PAF

asr-001943
01:36:23.100 --> 01:36:25.200
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: are given, the landlord

asr-001944
01:36:25.200 --> 01:36:26.400
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: gets the PAF,

asr-001945
01:36:26.960 --> 01:36:29.180
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: not the farm worker. So maybe

asr-001946
01:36:29.180 --> 01:36:30.780
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: later, Madam Chair,

asr-001947
01:36:31.140 --> 01:36:32.780
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: we will be able to

asr-001948
01:36:32.780 --> 01:36:34.900
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: put in a provision that

asr-001949
01:36:34.900 --> 01:36:37.080
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: these farm workers will also

asr-001950
01:36:37.080 --> 01:36:38.860

01:36:38.860 --> 01:36:40.720
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: to accept and receive PAF,

asr-001953-split-2
01:36:44.170 --> 01:36:45.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much,

asr-001954
01:36:45.660 --> 01:36:47.420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: DS Bambi. I agree po,

asr-001955
01:36:47.420 --> 01:36:49.420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yun po yung feedback na

asr-001956
01:36:49.500 --> 01:36:51.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nadinig natin. Kasi po,

asr-001957
01:36:51.520 --> 01:36:53.520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ngayon, yung PAF, pag dinignan nyo po

asr-001958
01:36:53.520 --> 01:36:55.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung guidelines ng DA

asr-001959
01:36:55.040 --> 01:36:57.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: patungkol sa PAF, nakalimit lang po

asr-001960
01:36:57.740 --> 01:36:59.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sa RSBSA members.

asr-001961
01:37:00.000 --> 01:37:01.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So yun po yung nangyayari.

asr-001962
01:37:01.340 --> 01:37:03.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I agree po, ang paminsan daw po,

asr-001963
01:37:03.880 --> 01:37:04.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ang rinireklamo,

asr-001964
01:37:05.240 --> 01:37:07.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nakapangalan nga po yung lupa doon sa isang tao,

asr-001965
01:37:07.860 --> 01:37:09.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pero hindi na talaga siya yung

asr-001966
01:37:09.080 --> 01:37:11.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: umaani doon. Pero yun po

asr-001967
01:37:11.560 --> 01:37:13.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung nabibigyan na assistance, yung mismong

asr-001968
01:37:13.660 --> 01:37:15.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nag-aalaga po

asr-001969
01:37:15.400 --> 01:37:17.620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nung sakahan, hindi nakakatanggap.

asr-001970
01:37:17.620 --> 01:37:19.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, we'll explore that po,

asr-001971
01:37:19.500 --> 01:37:21.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because I think we

asr-001972
01:37:21.560 --> 01:37:23.420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: need to talk to DA

asr-001973
01:37:23.420 --> 01:37:24.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: about it. Kasi,

asr-001974
01:37:25.360 --> 01:37:27.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Mark, please correct me if I'm wrong,

asr-001975
01:37:27.640 --> 01:37:29.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but I looked at the guidelines

asr-001976
01:37:29.360 --> 01:37:31.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of PAF, and it really limits

asr-001977
01:37:31.760 --> 01:37:33.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the beneficiaries to

asr-001978
01:37:33.480 --> 01:37:35.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: RSBSA members,

asr-001979
01:37:35.480 --> 01:37:37.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and in the case of the previous distribution po,

asr-001980
01:37:38.140 --> 01:37:39.660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: they limited it to two hectares

asr-001981
01:37:39.660 --> 01:37:41.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and below. So,

asr-001982
01:37:41.920 --> 01:37:43.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we can talk po,

asr-001983
01:37:43.540 --> 01:37:45.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Mark is here also, we can facilitate

asr-001984
01:37:45.400 --> 01:37:47.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: discussions po with the Department

asr-001985
01:37:47.640 --> 01:37:49.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of Agriculture to hopefully revise,

asr-001986
01:37:49.500 --> 01:37:51.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: their guidelines, para po mas madami po tayong

asr-001987
01:37:51.640 --> 01:37:53.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: matulungan at mag-qualify po

asr-001988
01:37:53.580 --> 01:37:54.390
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sa PAF. Thank you.

asr-001995
01:38:07.360 --> 01:38:09.640

asr-001996
01:38:10.720 --> 01:38:11.400
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: Madam Chair,

asr-001997
01:38:11.580 --> 01:38:12.740
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: only those

asr-001998
01:38:12.740 --> 01:38:15.440
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: under the BoatR registry

asr-001999
01:38:15.440 --> 01:38:16.540

asr-002000
01:38:17.420 --> 01:38:19.360

asr-002003
01:38:23.880 --> 01:38:25.300
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: umuupa lang, sila pa yung

asr-002004
01:38:25.300 --> 01:38:27.660
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: nawawalan ng suporta, sa listahan

asr-002005
01:38:27.660 --> 01:38:29.520
Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: sa pagbibigyan ng suporta. So, just to

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga: manifest that, Madam Chair. Thank you.

asr-002007
01:38:31.320 --> 01:38:33.160

asr-002008
01:38:33.220 --> 01:38:35.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nakalimit sa RSBSA and BoatR.

asr-002009
01:38:36.140 --> 01:38:37.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, may I

asr-002010
01:38:37.460 --> 01:38:39.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: direct the Committee Secretariat

asr-002011
01:38:39.600 --> 01:38:41.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to please note that down as a

01:38:41.540 --> 01:38:43.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: special provision that we may want to put

asr-002013
01:38:43.440 --> 01:38:45.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: under PAF. We just

asr-002014
01:38:45.460 --> 01:38:47.420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: need to coordinate with DA because they would have

asr-002015
01:38:47.420 --> 01:38:48.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to revise their guidelines also.

asr-002016

asr-002018
01:38:53.240 --> 01:38:55.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: or Vice Chair Arnie Fuentebella.

asr-002019
01:38:57.920 --> 01:38:59.340
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Delay in the implementation.

asr-002020
01:39:00.080 --> 01:39:01.420
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: I think may certain

asr-002021
01:39:01.420 --> 01:39:03.360
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: areas may nagkaroon ng delay,

asr-002022
01:39:03.740 --> 01:39:05.040
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: especially on the FISH-R folks.

asr-002023
01:39:05.520 --> 01:39:07.480
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Kasi from DA to

asr-002024
01:39:07.480 --> 01:39:09.340
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: BFAR. So, doon medyo

asr-002025
01:39:09.340 --> 01:39:11.220
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: downloading to BFAR,

asr-002026
01:39:11.300 --> 01:39:13.860
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: BFAR ang magbibigay

asr-002027
01:39:13.860 --> 01:39:15.580
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: sa FISH-R folks.

asr-002028
01:39:15.580 --> 01:39:17.460
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Doon yata nagkaroon ng delay na

asr-002029
01:39:17.460 --> 01:39:19.340
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: until now, yung iba, hindi pa naka-

asr-002030
01:39:19.360 --> 01:39:20.700
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: tanggap. So, I think that's

asr-002031
01:39:20.700 --> 01:39:23.120
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: we have to consider and remind

asr-002032
01:39:23.120 --> 01:39:25.400
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: DA na with these funds,

asr-002033
01:39:25.580 --> 01:39:26.600
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: dapat pagbinigay,

asr-002034
01:39:27.620 --> 01:39:29.520
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: dapat mabilis. Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-002035
01:39:30.080 --> 01:39:30.280

01:39:31.060 --> 01:39:33.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Vice Chair. Arnie Fuentebella.

asr-002037
01:39:33.200 --> 01:39:35.480
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Madam Chair, I think they have to fix the data.

asr-002038
01:39:36.340 --> 01:39:37.240
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Kasi karamihan po,

asr-002039
01:39:37.460 --> 01:39:38.740
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mali-mali yung data nila.

asr-002040
01:39:39.040 --> 01:39:41.240
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: And ang target talaga last year,

asr-002041
01:39:41.320 --> 01:39:42.680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: ni Speaker Bojie was

asr-002042
01:39:42.680 --> 01:39:44.700
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 10,000 per farmer.

asr-002043
01:39:45.360 --> 01:39:47.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But since lumawak

asr-002044
01:39:47.420 --> 01:39:48.700
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: po yung binigyan,

asr-002045
01:39:49.360 --> 01:39:51.500
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: is naging 2,325,

asr-002046
01:39:51.620 --> 01:39:53.380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: may butal pa. So, doon po

asr-002047
01:39:53.380 --> 01:39:55.580
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nahihirapan. So, kung maayos

asr-002048
01:39:55.580 --> 01:39:57.560
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: lang po sana yung data ng DA,

asr-002049
01:39:58.220 --> 01:39:59.340
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mas mabilis po natin,

01:40:05.920 --> 01:40:07.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: good point po, which I want to raise to

01:40:07.780 --> 01:40:09.840

asr-002056
01:40:11.900 --> 01:40:13.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: make sure wala pong duplicates. I think

asr-002057
01:40:13.600 --> 01:40:15.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: ang nangyari din po, there were

asr-002058
01:40:15.700 --> 01:40:17.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: farmers that were registered as both

asr-002059
01:40:17.700 --> 01:40:19.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: rice farmers and

asr-002060
01:40:19.200 --> 01:40:21.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: vegetable farmers. Tapos, they did not

asr-002061
01:40:21.700 --> 01:40:23.520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: know how to account for that

asr-002062
01:40:23.520 --> 01:40:25.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the previous distribution. So,

asr-002063
01:40:25.640 --> 01:40:27.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: DA, please, ano po, pakiayos

asr-002594
02:06:02.480 --> 02:06:03.760

asr-002726
02:11:16.520 --> 02:11:19.180

02:11:19.180 --> 02:11:20.520
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: for strengthening

02:11:20.520 --> 02:11:22.180

asr-002729
02:11:22.180 --> 02:11:25.280

asr-002730
02:11:25.280 --> 02:11:29.020
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Mr. Chair, just for the record,

asr-002731
02:11:29.020 --> 02:11:32.940
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: NAPOLCOM had 4,000 cases,

asr-002732
02:11:32.940 --> 02:11:35.060
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 25 years backlog,

asr-002733
02:11:35.060 --> 02:11:37.140
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: and now zero na po sila.

asr-002734
02:11:37.140 --> 02:11:39.600
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, this is a very small amount.

asr-002735
02:11:39.600 --> 02:11:41.860
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: This is a functioning agency

asr-002736
02:11:41.860 --> 02:11:44.520

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: our policemen.

asr-002738
02:11:46.140 --> 02:11:48.140

asr-002739
02:11:48.140 --> 02:11:52.400
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: I think, Mr. Chair, it's very small amount.

asr-002760
02:12:17.900 --> 02:12:19.900
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: It is not only a counterterrorism center,

asr-002761
02:12:19.900 --> 02:12:21.640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: counter-terrorism center,

asr-002762
02:12:22.260 --> 02:12:23.120
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: but it will be

asr-002763
02:12:23.120 --> 02:12:25.420

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: bank,

asr-002765
02:12:27.960 --> 02:12:29.420
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: even the operation center.

asr-002766
02:12:29.880 --> 02:12:31.380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So, one building,

asr-002767
02:12:31.620 --> 02:12:33.000
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: nandoon na po lahat, operations,

asr-002770
02:12:37.680 --> 02:12:38.820
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: etc. So,

02:12:39.200 --> 02:12:41.380
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: actually, the proposal is

asr-002772
02:12:41.380 --> 02:12:43.620
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: 500 million

asr-002773
02:12:43.620 --> 02:12:44.920

asr-002775
02:12:47.460 --> 02:12:48.220

asr-002776
02:12:49.900 --> 02:12:52.140
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: But, if the fiscal

asr-002777
02:12:52.140 --> 02:12:53.460
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: space is small,

asr-002778
02:12:54.260 --> 02:12:58.200

asr-002780

asr-002790
02:13:24.100 --> 02:13:26.040

02:13:26.040 --> 02:13:27.600
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: pa lang po will cost 150.

asr-002946
02:19:33.060 --> 02:19:37.500
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: since they have properties na hindi po napupunta sa kanila yung rental.

asr-002947
02:19:38.340 --> 02:19:40.680
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: So sana lang po mapunta lang sa kanila.

Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: for operating expenses, capital outlay.

asr-002972
02:20:11.680 --> 02:20:13.700
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Since iiwan na po sila ng DILG

02:20:55.560 --> 02:20:57.090
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Mr. Chair, DOJ muna.

asr-002985
02:21:15.400 --> 02:21:15.970
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: DOJ?

asr-002987
02:21:16.400 --> 02:21:16.940
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: O, sige.

asr-002988
02:21:18.320 --> 02:21:18.800
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Sige.

asr-002989
02:21:19.660 --> 02:21:20.640
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: O, sige, it's okay.

asr-002992
02:21:34.260 --> 02:21:39.420
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, next, we would like to recognize Kong Onchuan.

asr-002993
02:21:41.080 --> 02:21:42.680
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

asr-002994
02:21:44.240 --> 02:21:46.280
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: With the constant,

asr-002995
02:21:46.400 --> 02:21:48.800
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: very unstable fuel prices

asr-002996
02:21:48.800 --> 02:21:50.360
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: being encountered

asr-002997
02:21:50.360 --> 02:21:54.040
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: and with the Middle East crisis

asr-002998
02:21:54.040 --> 02:21:55.880
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: and the Ukraine-Russia war,

asr-002999
02:21:57.720 --> 02:21:59.080
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: this representation is

asr-003000
02:21:59.080 --> 02:22:01.860
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: does agree with

asr-003001
02:22:01.860 --> 02:22:04.540
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: Secretary Giovanni Lopez

asr-003002
02:22:04.540 --> 02:22:05.780
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: to

asr-003003
02:22:05.780 --> 02:22:07.780
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: give

asr-003004
02:22:07.780 --> 02:22:10.000
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: the proposal of

asr-003005
02:22:10.000 --> 02:22:13.100
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: 500 million pesos

asr-003006
02:22:13.100 --> 02:22:15.660
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: for the service contracting program

asr-003008
02:22:16.380 --> 02:22:20.840
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: Which has a zero fund for the NEP 2027.

asr-003009
02:22:20.840 --> 02:22:26.160
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: So, wala pong budget, zero.

asr-003010
02:22:27.160 --> 02:22:28.540
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: And we feel,

asr-003011
02:22:29.400 --> 02:22:33.340
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: even Akbayan Representative Perci Cendaña

asr-003012
02:22:33.340 --> 02:22:37.140
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: reiterated that the service contracting program

asr-003013
02:22:37.140 --> 02:22:38.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: is of valuable help

asr-003014
02:22:38.600 --> 02:22:42.500
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: to the constituents.

asr-003015
02:22:42.500 --> 02:22:45.760
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: So, I move,

asr-003016
02:22:46.380 --> 02:22:54.500
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: that the SCP program be given a budget of 500 million pesos.

asr-003017
02:22:54.500 --> 02:22:55.500
Committee member/seconding voice: I second.

asr-003018
02:22:55.500 --> 02:22:57.160
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: I so move.

asr-003019
02:22:57.160 --> 02:22:59.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, before we act on the motion,

asr-003020
02:22:59.960 --> 02:23:03.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: just a little information for our BARSC members.

asr-003021
02:23:03.500 --> 02:23:06.200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Nung 2026 BICAM,

asr-003022
02:23:06.200 --> 02:23:08.200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: zero din po ito.

asr-003023
02:23:08.200 --> 02:23:11.200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: But our contingent proposed

asr-003024
02:23:11.200 --> 02:23:15.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to put or to allocate 1 billion for this,

asr-003025
02:23:15.600 --> 02:23:18.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: not knowing na magkakaroon ng energy crisis

asr-003026
02:23:18.220 --> 02:23:19.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or war in Iran.

asr-003027
02:23:20.260 --> 02:23:21.720
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, when the war broke out,

asr-003028
02:23:22.220 --> 02:23:24.560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: may pinagugutan kagad ang DOTR,

asr-003029
02:23:24.840 --> 02:23:25.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ang executive,

asr-003030
02:23:26.260 --> 02:23:27.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para itulong sa ating mga

asr-003031
02:23:27.680 --> 02:23:29.980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: drivers and operators.

asr-003032
02:23:30.580 --> 02:23:30.760
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So,

asr-003033
02:23:31.220 --> 02:23:33.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: we're surprised to know na zero pa rin

asr-003034
02:23:33.860 --> 02:23:36.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: ngayong 2027 proposed budget.

asr-003035
02:23:37.120 --> 02:23:37.840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, thus,

asr-003036
02:23:38.440 --> 02:23:40.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the sponsor is

asr-003037
02:23:40.000 --> 02:23:42.340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: moving to allocate

asr-003038
02:23:42.340 --> 02:23:43.780
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 500 million

asr-003039
02:23:43.780 --> 02:23:45.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: for this project.

asr-003040
02:23:45.600 --> 02:23:47.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Very valuable program.

asr-003041
02:23:47.600 --> 02:23:49.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, there's a motion.

asr-003042
02:23:49.600 --> 02:23:51.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Duly seconded.

asr-003043
02:23:51.600 --> 02:23:53.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Hearing no objections,

asr-003044
02:23:53.600 --> 02:23:55.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: motion is approved.

asr-003045
02:23:55.600 --> 02:23:57.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

asr-003046
02:23:57.600 --> 02:23:59.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: We move on to the fuel subsidy

asr-003047
02:23:59.600 --> 02:24:01.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: to transport sector.

asr-003048
02:24:01.600 --> 02:24:03.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: And again, affected by the rising fuel prices.

asr-003049
02:24:03.600 --> 02:24:05.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: Again,

asr-003050
02:24:05.600 --> 02:24:07.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: zero budget was allocated

asr-003051
02:24:07.600 --> 02:24:09.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: for 2027.

asr-003052
02:24:09.600 --> 02:24:11.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: So,

asr-003053
02:24:11.600 --> 02:24:13.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: this representation agrees with

asr-003054
02:24:13.600 --> 02:24:15.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: Secretary Lopez, that,

asr-003055
02:24:15.600 --> 02:24:17.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: one billion pesos

asr-003056
02:24:17.600 --> 02:24:19.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: should be allocated

asr-003057
02:24:19.600 --> 02:24:21.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: for the year,

asr-003058
02:24:21.600 --> 02:24:23.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: fiscal year 2027.

asr-003059
02:24:23.600 --> 02:24:25.600
Rep. Edwin Ongchuan: Mr. Chair.

asr-003060
02:24:25.600 --> 02:24:27.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SPC, if I may,

asr-003061
02:24:27.600 --> 02:24:29.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: very quickly. Actually,

asr-003062
02:24:29.600 --> 02:24:31.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we were also very, very surprised

asr-003063
02:24:31.600 --> 02:24:33.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: when we found out that

asr-003064
02:24:33.600 --> 02:24:35.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the fuel subsidy

asr-003065
02:24:35.600 --> 02:24:37.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: had zero budget in the NEP.

asr-003066
02:24:37.600 --> 02:24:39.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ang nangyari po kasi,

asr-003067
02:24:39.600 --> 02:24:41.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I think this is the justification,

asr-003068
02:24:41.600 --> 02:24:43.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kong Edwin, let me know,

asr-003069
02:24:43.600 --> 02:24:45.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because in previous years po,

asr-003070
02:24:45.600 --> 02:24:47.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for year 2024

asr-003071
02:24:47.600 --> 02:24:49.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and 2025,

asr-003072
02:24:49.600 --> 02:24:51.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: untouched po yung

asr-003073
02:24:51.600 --> 02:24:53.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: fuel transport subsidy

asr-003074
02:24:53.600 --> 02:24:55.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the previous years.

asr-003075
02:24:55.600 --> 02:24:57.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because the trigger,

asr-003076
02:24:57.600 --> 02:24:59.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: which I believe is $70?

asr-003077
02:24:59.600 --> 02:25:01.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: $80 per barrel

asr-003078
02:25:01.600 --> 02:25:03.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: was not met in previous years.

asr-003079
02:25:03.600 --> 02:25:05.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Based on the Dubai price index.

asr-003080
02:25:05.600 --> 02:25:07.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Opo, it was several

asr-003081
02:25:07.600 --> 02:25:09.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: billion that was there

asr-003082
02:25:09.600 --> 02:25:11.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for two years. Tapos dahil po dito sa

asr-003083
02:25:11.600 --> 02:25:13.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Middle East crisis, biglang na-wipe out

asr-003084
02:25:13.600 --> 02:25:15.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung

asr-003085
02:25:15.600 --> 02:25:17.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: several billions

asr-003086
02:25:17.600 --> 02:25:19.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that was there

asr-003087
02:25:19.600 --> 02:25:21.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in previous years.

asr-003088
02:25:21.600 --> 02:25:23.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nagulat po tayong lahat

asr-003089
02:25:23.600 --> 02:25:25.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na zero siya sa NEP

asr-003090
02:25:25.600 --> 02:25:27.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: given that the previous allocation

asr-003091
02:25:27.600 --> 02:25:29.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: was totally wiped out

asr-003092
02:25:29.600 --> 02:25:31.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because of the Middle East crisis.

asr-003093
02:25:31.600 --> 02:25:33.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Again po, I fully, fully

asr-003094
02:25:33.600 --> 02:25:35.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: support the manifestation

asr-003095
02:25:35.600 --> 02:25:37.600

02:38:19.040 --> 02:38:27.140

asr-003421
02:38:28.640 --> 02:38:32.260
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: actually they have been tasked with a lot of work recently,

asr-003422
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,

asr-003423
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,

asr-003424
02:38:46.660 --> 02:38:54.700
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in terms of terrorism, illegal gambling, and other illegal activities.

asr-003426
02:39:08.560 --> 02:39:15.140
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: considering that their NEP for 2027 is only 175,400,000.

asr-003427
02:39:15.140 --> 02:39:16.140
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: In fact,

asr-003428
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.

asr-003429
02:39:27.720 --> 02:39:29.160
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: [unclear] ko lang naalala, ha, na hindi kasi ako naka...

asr-003430
02:39:31.520 --> 02:39:43.120

asr-003431
02:39:43.120 --> 02:39:45.380
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: particularly on the Confidential Fund,

asr-003432
02:39:46.020 --> 02:39:46.640

asr-003433
02:39:46.640 --> 02:39:52.640

02:40:12.180 --> 02:40:15.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So if that's the final item for DOJ,

asr-003443
02:40:15.900 --> 02:40:16.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: may we flash it?

asr-003444
02:40:16.640 --> 02:40:18.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: May we flash it on the screen for everyone to see?

asr-003445
02:40:27.380 --> 02:40:32.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So the total is 132,050,000.

asr-003446
02:40:34.000 --> 02:40:34.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

02:40:48.000 --> 02:40:53.700
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: The Sandigan Bayan actually has a NEP of 1.9 billion.

asr-003455
02:40:53.700 --> 02:41:01.760
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: However, considering the voluminous cases and tasks that they have been,

asr-003456
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

asr-003457
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

02:41:15.280 --> 02:41:16.000
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: ...

asr-003462
02:41:21.820 --> 02:41:23.740
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: will not be sufficient enough,

asr-003463
02:41:24.640 --> 02:41:26.160
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: especially in terms of

asr-003464

Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: the benefits of their personnel

asr-003465

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.

asr-003570
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,

asr-003571
02:46:09.820 --> 02:46:15.420
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: may I propose that under the Local Water Utilities Administration,

asr-003572
02:46:15.560 --> 02:46:20.640
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: whose current NEP is only 29.55 million, masyadong mababa,

asr-003573
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.

02:46:34.280 --> 02:46:35.400
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: So move, Mr. Chair.

02:46:47.120 --> 02:46:48.420

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.

Rep. Albert S. Garcia: DS Garin, can you reply?

asr-003581
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.

asr-003582
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.

asr-003583
02:47:08.940 --> 02:47:14.000
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: The 100 million, Mr. Chair, will never be enough.

asr-003584
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.

asr-003585
02:47:23.000 --> 02:47:35.760
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: So, manifestation, not a motion, but after the BARSC has deliberated,

asr-003586
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.

asr-003587
02:47:46.700 --> 02:47:49.080
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Yeah, we agree, Your Honor.

asr-003588
02:47:49.640 --> 02:47:52.680
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Actually, I believe this is just the first BARSC.

asr-003589
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.

asr-003590
02:47:59.800 --> 02:48:02.080
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: One hundred million is just a pittance, Mr. Chair.

asr-003591
02:48:02.900 --> 02:48:04.680
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Maybe, um...

asr-003592
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.

asr-003593
02:48:14.960 --> 02:48:18.880
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: The manifestation of the Honorable Alvarez is noted.

02:53:44.500 --> 02:53:46.500
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to several sectors

asr-003690
02:53:46.500 --> 02:53:47.500
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: of our community.

asr-003691
02:53:48.340 --> 02:53:50.400
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And programs like

asr-003692
02:53:50.400 --> 02:53:51.660
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Uplift in response

asr-003693
02:53:51.660 --> 02:53:53.200
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to the energy crisis

asr-003694
02:53:53.200 --> 02:53:55.900
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: or the national emergency.

asr-003695
02:53:57.440 --> 02:53:59.560
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And the projected number

asr-003696
02:53:59.560 --> 02:54:01.840
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for the

asr-003697
02:54:01.840 --> 02:54:03.660
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: GA-A 2026

asr-003698
02:54:03.660 --> 02:54:04.760
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: level

asr-003699
02:54:04.760 --> 02:54:06.400
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: is to serve

asr-003700
02:54:06.400 --> 02:54:09.220
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: at least 8 million

asr-003701
02:54:09.220 --> 02:54:10.860
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: individuals.

asr-003702
02:54:13.440 --> 02:54:14.520
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Without

asr-003703
02:54:14.520 --> 02:54:17.440
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: if we

asr-003704
02:54:17.440 --> 02:54:19.160
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: fail to increase this

asr-003705
02:54:19.160 --> 02:54:20.560
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: back to its

asr-003706
02:54:20.560 --> 02:54:23.420
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: general appropriations

asr-003707
02:54:23.420 --> 02:54:25.160
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: level of 2026,

asr-003708
02:54:25.720 --> 02:54:27.860
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: we might be

asr-003709
02:54:27.860 --> 02:54:29.180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: depriving at least

asr-003710
02:54:29.180 --> 02:54:30.900
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: 4,000 or 4 million

asr-003711
02:54:30.900 --> 02:54:33.300
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Filipinos to avail

asr-003712
02:54:33.300 --> 02:54:35.560
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: of this opportunity.

asr-003713
02:54:36.300 --> 02:54:37.400
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And the fact

asr-003714
02:54:37.400 --> 02:54:39.020
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that we are looking forward

asr-003715
02:54:39.020 --> 02:54:41.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to the

asr-003716
02:54:41.240 --> 02:54:42.940
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: forecast of an extreme

asr-003717
02:54:42.940 --> 02:54:44.740
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: El Nino, God forbids,

asr-003718
02:54:45.740 --> 02:54:46.580
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: then this may be

asr-003719
02:54:46.580 --> 02:54:49.180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: a very good source again

asr-003720
02:54:49.180 --> 02:54:50.640
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for this

asr-003721
02:54:50.640 --> 02:54:52.720
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: relief

asr-003722
02:54:52.720 --> 02:54:56.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: offers that the

asr-003723
02:54:56.240 --> 02:54:58.680
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: national government may provide.

asr-003724
02:55:00.100 --> 02:55:01.060
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So the

asr-003725
02:55:01.060 --> 02:55:04.420
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: agency is looking

asr-003726
02:55:04.420 --> 02:55:06.420
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: forward to increase this to

asr-003727
02:55:06.420 --> 02:55:08.080
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: 76 billion.

asr-003728
02:55:08.260 --> 02:55:10.760
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: That is a 43 billion increase.

asr-003729
02:55:12.460 --> 02:55:14.400
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: But with the limited

asr-003730
02:55:14.400 --> 02:55:15.760
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: fiscal space,

asr-003731
02:55:16.580 --> 02:55:18.760
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I think a much lower amount

asr-003732
02:55:18.760 --> 02:55:21.120
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: may be doable

asr-003733
02:55:21.120 --> 02:55:23.280
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: and perhaps

asr-003734
02:55:23.280 --> 02:55:25.520
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: may be still significant

asr-003735
02:55:25.520 --> 02:55:27.680
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to provide the necessary

asr-003736
02:55:27.680 --> 02:55:28.380
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: support

asr-003737
02:55:28.380 --> 02:55:31.980
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to the vulnerable

asr-003738
02:55:31.980 --> 02:55:34.180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: individuals and families

asr-003739
02:55:34.180 --> 02:55:35.540
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that may suffer

asr-003740
02:55:35.540 --> 02:55:37.340
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: in crisis situation.

asr-003741
02:55:38.340 --> 02:55:39.540
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So the proposal

asr-003742
02:55:39.540 --> 02:55:40.820
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: is to increase it

asr-003743
02:55:40.820 --> 02:55:42.020
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to about

asr-003744
02:55:42.020 --> 02:55:45.360
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: 25 billion

asr-003745
02:55:45.360 --> 02:55:46.220
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: 806

asr-003746
02:55:46.580 --> 02:55:48.720
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: million

asr-003747
02:55:48.720 --> 02:55:49.300
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Mr. Chair.

asr-003748
02:55:51.600 --> 02:55:52.980
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So move

asr-003749
02:55:52.980 --> 02:55:55.020
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that the

asr-003750
02:55:55.020 --> 02:55:56.260
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: AICS

asr-003751
02:55:56.260 --> 02:55:58.860
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: be increased to that level.

asr-003752
02:55:59.700 --> 02:56:01.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So there is

asr-003753
02:56:01.380 --> 02:56:02.320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: a motion

asr-003754
02:56:02.320 --> 02:56:04.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: before we act on it.

asr-003755
02:56:06.100 --> 02:56:07.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: May we hear from our

asr-003756
02:56:07.440 --> 02:56:08.560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: minority leader?

asr-003757
02:56:10.100 --> 02:56:11.380
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

asr-003758
02:56:11.660 --> 02:56:13.480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Mr. Chair, I agree with

asr-003759
02:56:13.480 --> 02:56:15.320
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the motion of the Honorable

asr-003760
02:56:15.320 --> 02:56:15.720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Nava.

asr-003761
02:56:16.580 --> 02:56:17.520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: As much as

asr-003762
02:56:17.520 --> 02:56:20.140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we would need these

asr-003763
02:56:20.140 --> 02:56:21.480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: appropriations

asr-003764
02:56:21.480 --> 02:56:25.600
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: especially this

asr-003765
02:56:25.600 --> 02:56:26.540
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 2027

asr-003766
02:56:26.540 --> 02:56:28.900
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: because of the fuel crisis

asr-003767
02:56:28.900 --> 02:56:30.800
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and the incoming

asr-003768
02:56:30.800 --> 02:56:33.300
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: super El Nino phenomenon.

asr-003769
02:56:34.400 --> 02:56:35.040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And this is

asr-003770
02:56:35.040 --> 02:56:36.860
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the fastest way to

asr-003771
02:56:36.860 --> 02:56:38.380
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: help our people.

asr-003772
02:56:39.420 --> 02:56:40.480
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And the amount of

asr-003773
02:56:40.480 --> 02:56:41.140
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 29

asr-003774
02:56:41.140 --> 02:56:44.800
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: billion 806 million

asr-003775
02:56:44.800 --> 02:56:46.340
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: will only total to

asr-003776
02:56:46.340 --> 02:56:49.000
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 59 billion

asr-003777
02:56:49.000 --> 02:56:49.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: which is still

asr-003778
02:56:49.780 --> 02:56:52.440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: short of 4.8 billion

asr-003779
02:56:52.440 --> 02:56:54.680
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: from our appropriations

asr-003780
02:56:54.680 --> 02:56:56.180
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of 6.3 billion

asr-003781
02:56:56.180 --> 02:56:58.840
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: for 2026.

asr-003782
02:56:58.840 --> 02:57:01.020
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And if there's still

asr-003783
02:57:01.020 --> 02:57:01.980
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: a fiscal space

asr-003784
02:57:01.980 --> 02:57:04.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: if we can still

asr-003785
02:57:04.100 --> 02:57:04.840
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: increase this

asr-003786
02:57:04.840 --> 02:57:06.120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: hopefully

asr-003787
02:57:06.120 --> 02:57:08.620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: let's do it.

asr-003788
02:57:08.720 --> 02:57:09.640
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But for the meantime

asr-003789
02:57:09.640 --> 02:57:12.040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: let us feel comfortable

asr-003790
02:57:12.040 --> 02:57:12.720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: with the motion

asr-003791
02:57:12.720 --> 02:57:13.620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: of the Honorable Nava.

asr-003792
02:57:13.760 --> 02:57:15.120
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So I second

asr-003793
02:57:15.120 --> 02:57:15.560
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the motion.

asr-003796
02:57:16.340 --> 02:57:17.920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: His motion, Mr. Chair.

asr-003797

02:57:32.980 --> 02:57:33.920

asr-003807
02:57:33.920 --> 02:57:35.880
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: is to fund

asr-003808
02:57:35.880 --> 02:57:38.980

asr-003809
02:57:38.980 --> 02:57:40.200
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: flagship and emerging

asr-003810
02:57:40.200 --> 02:57:42.040
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: programs.

asr-003811
02:57:43.840 --> 02:57:44.520
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: There are three.

asr-003812

02:57:45.360 --> 02:57:46.320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Protect Teen,

asr-003814
02:57:46.340 --> 02:57:49.440
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: which focus

asr-003815
02:57:49.440 --> 02:57:51.300
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: on adolescent mothers

asr-003816
02:57:51.300 --> 02:57:53.060
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: and their families,

asr-003817
02:57:53.320 --> 02:57:53.720
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: of course,

asr-003818
02:57:54.580 --> 02:57:56.660
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for children

asr-003819
02:57:56.660 --> 02:57:58.460
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: with disabilities

asr-003820
02:57:58.460 --> 02:58:01.660
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: and their caregivers.

asr-003821
02:58:02.880 --> 02:58:04.320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And the project SAFE

asr-003822
02:58:04.320 --> 02:58:06.780
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: which also addresses

asr-003823
02:58:06.780 --> 02:58:11.260
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: online

asr-003826
02:58:17.740 --> 02:58:23.340
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And the request

asr-003827
02:58:23.340 --> 02:58:24.480
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: may not be catered

asr-003828
02:58:24.480 --> 02:58:25.820
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: by the available

asr-003829
02:58:25.820 --> 02:58:26.820
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: fiscal space.

asr-003830
02:58:27.080 --> 02:58:29.220
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: But I think

asr-003831
02:58:29.220 --> 02:58:31.140
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: meeting the

asr-003832
02:58:31.140 --> 02:58:34.060
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: 2026

asr-003833
02:58:34.060 --> 02:58:34.940
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: GAA level

asr-003834
02:58:34.940 --> 02:58:35.900

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: the members of BARSC remember

asr-004003
03:03:20.960 --> 03:03:21.540
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: last year,

asr-004004
03:03:21.560 --> 03:03:22.680
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: we funded

asr-004005
03:03:22.680 --> 03:03:25.260
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: the packaging or

asr-004006
03:03:25.260 --> 03:03:27.420
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: repackaging site in

asr-004007
03:03:27.420 --> 03:03:27.860
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Caraga.

asr-004008
03:03:29.200 --> 03:03:31.180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: This is entirely a different

asr-004009
03:03:31.180 --> 03:03:32.660
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: location

asr-004010
03:03:32.660 --> 03:03:35.000
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: which is intended

asr-004011
03:03:35.000 --> 03:03:37.420
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: solely as

asr-004012
03:03:37.420 --> 03:03:39.140
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: some sort of

asr-004013
03:03:39.140 --> 03:03:41.300
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: a forward support facility

asr-004014
03:03:41.300 --> 03:03:43.640
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for much easier distribution

asr-004015
03:03:43.640 --> 03:03:45.320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: of relief goods

asr-004016
03:03:45.320 --> 03:03:47.480
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: in times of calamity.

asr-004017
03:03:48.060 --> 03:03:49.700
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I think the gentleman

asr-004018
03:03:49.700 --> 03:03:51.540
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: from Mindanao,

asr-004019
03:03:51.560 --> 03:03:53.060
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: no less than

asr-004020
03:03:53.060 --> 03:03:55.740
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: our Deputy Speaker,

asr-004021
03:03:56.000 --> 03:03:57.020
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Bambi Emano, can

03:03:57.020 --> 03:03:59.680
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: further provide us

asr-004023
03:03:59.680 --> 03:04:01.780
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: a situation

asr-004024
03:04:01.780 --> 03:04:03.280
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: there on the location

asr-004025
03:04:03.280 --> 03:04:05.400
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: of this facility,

asr-004026
03:04:06.180 --> 03:04:06.800
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Madam Chair,

asr-004027
03:04:07.460 --> 03:04:07.960
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Mr. Chair.

asr-004028
03:04:08.800 --> 03:04:10.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Deputy Speaker Emano?

asr-004029
03:04:10.480 --> 03:04:13.460
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: I thank the good Secretary and of course the members

asr-004030
03:04:13.460 --> 03:04:15.800
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: of BARSC that hopefully it will be considered.

asr-004031
03:04:16.740 --> 03:04:17.920
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Bukidnon is

asr-004032
03:04:17.920 --> 03:04:19.620
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: actually what we

asr-004033
03:04:19.620 --> 03:04:21.480
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: call the central part of

asr-004034
03:04:21.480 --> 03:04:22.620
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Mindanao.

asr-004035
03:04:22.620 --> 03:04:24.840
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: So every destination

asr-004036
03:04:24.840 --> 03:04:27.040
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: from north, south, east, west

asr-004037
03:04:27.040 --> 03:04:29.080
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: is maximum

asr-004038
03:04:29.080 --> 03:04:31.520
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: only six hours from Bukidnon.

asr-004039
03:04:31.520 --> 03:04:33.100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: So it would be

asr-004040
03:04:33.100 --> 03:04:34.640
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: more, it would be,

asr-004041
03:04:34.640 --> 03:04:36.080
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: it will just be fitting,

asr-004042
03:04:36.080 --> 03:04:38.380
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Mr. Chair,

asr-004043
03:04:38.380 --> 03:04:41.280
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: that we put the distribution center

asr-004044
03:04:41.280 --> 03:04:43.920
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: in the province of Bukidnon.

asr-004045
03:04:45.740 --> 03:04:46.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, DS.

asr-004046
03:04:46.680 --> 03:04:49.480
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: In the town of Maramag.

asr-004047
03:04:49.480 --> 03:04:51.480
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: That's the central Mindanao.

asr-004048
03:04:51.480 --> 03:04:55.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC, if I may...

asr-004049
03:04:55.480 --> 03:04:56.280
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, Madam Chair.

asr-004050
03:04:56.400 --> 03:04:59.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I just want to appeal

asr-004051
03:04:59.820 --> 03:05:01.380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to DBM

asr-004052
03:05:01.380 --> 03:05:03.180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and to DSWD

asr-004053
03:05:03.180 --> 03:05:05.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because last year we put 500 million

asr-004054
03:05:05.700 --> 03:05:07.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pesos towards

asr-004055
03:05:07.340 --> 03:05:09.420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the build-out of the

asr-004056
03:05:09.420 --> 03:05:11.760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: first, supposedly, the first

asr-004057
03:05:11.760 --> 03:05:13.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: packing

asr-004058
03:05:13.020 --> 03:05:15.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: disaster resource and support

asr-004059
03:05:15.600 --> 03:05:17.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: center, supposedly in

asr-004060
03:05:17.340 --> 03:05:18.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the Caraga.

asr-004061
03:05:18.980 --> 03:05:20.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But

asr-004062
03:05:20.020 --> 03:05:20.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: basically,

asr-004063
03:05:21.480 --> 03:05:23.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: based on our last

asr-004064
03:05:23.160 --> 03:05:24.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: update po,

asr-004065
03:05:24.300 --> 03:05:27.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it hasn't been released at all.

asr-004066
03:05:27.060 --> 03:05:29.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, zero,

asr-004067
03:05:29.360 --> 03:05:30.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: zero release

asr-004068
03:05:30.440 --> 03:05:33.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: out of the 500 million pesos

asr-004069
03:05:33.000 --> 03:05:34.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that was allocated

asr-004070
03:05:34.800 --> 03:05:37.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for which should have been

asr-004071
03:05:37.160 --> 03:05:39.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the first disaster

asr-004072
03:05:39.900 --> 03:05:41.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: support site in Mindanao.

asr-004073
03:05:41.860 --> 03:05:43.780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, we would like to appeal

asr-004074
03:05:43.780 --> 03:05:45.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because again,

asr-004075
03:05:45.200 --> 03:05:46.500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: now,

asr-004076
03:05:46.500 --> 03:05:48.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the manifestation of

asr-004077
03:05:48.460 --> 03:05:50.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Vice Chair Rahman,

asr-004078
03:05:50.020 --> 03:05:51.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: NAVA, and Deputy Speaker,

asr-004079
03:05:51.060 --> 03:05:52.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Bambi Emano,

asr-004080
03:05:52.600 --> 03:05:54.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is to appeal for a second site

asr-004081
03:05:54.900 --> 03:05:56.180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in Mindanao.

asr-004082
03:05:56.180 --> 03:05:58.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But I am just worried po

asr-004083
03:05:58.640 --> 03:06:01.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because the first site has not been built at all.

asr-004084
03:06:01.560 --> 03:06:04.100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, I would like to appeal to

asr-004085
03:06:04.100 --> 03:06:05.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: DBM

asr-004086
03:06:05.900 --> 03:06:08.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and because last year po,

asr-004087
03:06:08.720 --> 03:06:10.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: excited na excited po

asr-004088
03:06:10.140 --> 03:06:11.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung ating mga BARSC members

asr-004089
03:06:11.980 --> 03:06:13.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from Mindanao

asr-004090
03:06:13.340 --> 03:06:15.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because Luzon has a lot,

asr-004091
03:06:15.460 --> 03:06:16.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Visayas has a lot,

asr-004092
03:06:16.560 --> 03:06:20.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but Mindanao has no disaster support.

asr-004093
03:06:20.840 --> 03:06:22.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And repacking center.

asr-004094
03:06:22.640 --> 03:06:24.420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, sayang naman po

asr-004095
03:06:24.420 --> 03:06:26.720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because we put 500 million

asr-004096
03:06:26.720 --> 03:06:29.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and we put 500 million last year

asr-004097
03:06:29.040 --> 03:06:30.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with the intention na

asr-004098
03:06:30.320 --> 03:06:32.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: makompleto po yun

asr-004099
03:06:32.360 --> 03:06:33.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in one year.

asr-004100
03:06:33.640 --> 03:06:35.680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Hindi lang po yung infrastructure

asr-004101
03:06:35.680 --> 03:06:37.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but even the machines,

asr-004102
03:06:37.480 --> 03:06:39.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the packing machines inside.

asr-004103
03:06:39.020 --> 03:06:43.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And Representative Joboy Aquino is here po.

asr-004104
03:06:43.360 --> 03:06:45.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: You were one of the strong advocates

asr-004105
03:06:45.920 --> 03:06:46.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for that last year.

asr-004106
03:06:46.960 --> 03:06:48.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, yun lang po.

asr-004107
03:06:48.240 --> 03:06:49.520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Nag-worry lang po ako

asr-004108
03:06:49.520 --> 03:06:50.680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because wala pa yung,

asr-004109
03:06:50.840 --> 03:06:54.420
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: release nung 500 million from last year.

asr-004110
03:06:54.420 --> 03:06:56.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, hopefully it doesn't happen

asr-004111
03:06:56.220 --> 03:06:58.260
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with the second site

asr-004112
03:06:58.260 --> 03:07:00.820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that we are proposing to fund.

asr-004113
03:07:00.820 --> 03:07:02.620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you po, SVC.

asr-004114
03:07:02.620 --> 03:07:04.160
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-004115
03:07:04.160 --> 03:07:08.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: We remember that project clearly from last year.

asr-004116
03:07:08.240 --> 03:07:10.300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, Minority Leader.

asr-004117
03:07:10.300 --> 03:07:14.400
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: I support these appropriations, Madam Chair.

asr-004118
03:07:14.400 --> 03:07:17.460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But I would like the BARSC to take notice

asr-004119
03:07:17.460 --> 03:07:20.240
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that Samar Island has no

asr-004120
03:07:20.240 --> 03:07:23.060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: disaster resource and support center

asr-004121
03:07:23.060 --> 03:07:24.840
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in the whole Samar Island.

asr-004122
03:07:24.840 --> 03:07:29.960
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And we are the, I think,

asr-004123
03:07:29.960 --> 03:07:33.040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: the typhoon capital of the Philippines.

asr-004124
03:07:33.040 --> 03:07:35.600
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So, I think we'll be needing this also.

asr-004125
03:07:35.600 --> 03:07:36.880
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But not now, of course.

asr-004126
03:07:36.880 --> 03:07:39.700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: In 2027, I think DSWD

asr-004127
03:07:39.700 --> 03:07:44.040
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: shall take serious notice

asr-004128
03:07:44.040 --> 03:07:48.920
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in allocating funds for the different regions.

asr-004129
03:07:48.920 --> 03:07:49.940
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Well, it is really needed.

asr-004130
03:07:50.240 --> 03:07:51.780
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-004131
03:07:51.780 --> 03:07:53.560
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: That is noted, Honorable Libanan.

asr-004132
03:07:53.560 --> 03:07:58.580
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: In addition, the only repackaging site

asr-004133
03:07:58.580 --> 03:08:02.780
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: in the Visayas is in Cebu, I think.

asr-004134
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

asr-004135
03:08:08.080 --> 03:08:10.980
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: in the two other regions of the Visayas

asr-004136
03:08:10.980 --> 03:08:17.880
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: in support of the distribution in cases of calamity.

asr-004137
03:08:17.880 --> 03:08:20.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So, I think the idea of putting, you know,

asr-004138
03:08:20.100 --> 03:08:24.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: putting some sort of support facility

asr-004139
03:08:24.100 --> 03:08:26.440
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: as storage of these relief goods

asr-004140
03:08:26.440 --> 03:08:29.540
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: is necessary for each region.

asr-004141
03:08:29.540 --> 03:08:31.760
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: If I may expound, Mr. Chair.

asr-004142
03:08:31.760 --> 03:08:34.760
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Sorry, I yield to the Minority Leader, Mr. Chair.

asr-004143
03:08:34.760 --> 03:08:38.360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Yes, Madam Chair, because it was our personal experience,

asr-004144
03:08:38.360 --> 03:08:40.520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: even my personal experience,

asr-004145
03:08:40.520 --> 03:08:44.720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: that when Super Typhoon Yolanda hit Region 8,

asr-004146
03:08:44.720 --> 03:08:49.720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: particularly Guiuan, which was the landfall, and Tacloban,

asr-004147
03:08:50.100 --> 03:08:55.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: our relief operations came from Legazpi City and Manila.

asr-004148
03:08:55.100 --> 03:09:00.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So, our response time was,

asr-004149
03:09:00.100 --> 03:09:04.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: it took us too long to reach our people.

asr-004150
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.

asr-004151
03:09:09.100 --> 03:09:12.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: But, as much as possible, we can,

asr-004152
03:09:12.100 --> 03:09:18.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we shall place these resource and support centers

asr-004153
03:09:18.100 --> 03:09:20.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in almost all our regions.

asr-004154
03:09:20.100 --> 03:09:23.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: And islands, if possible.

asr-004155
03:09:23.100 --> 03:09:26.100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: If I may, Mr. Chair, just to add.

asr-004156
03:09:26.100 --> 03:09:27.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Minority Leader.

asr-004157
03:09:27.100 --> 03:09:28.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: D.S. Emano.

asr-004158
03:09:28.100 --> 03:09:29.100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Yeah.

asr-004159
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.

asr-004160
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.

asr-004161
03:09:38.100 --> 03:09:40.100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: And this is what happened.

asr-004162
03:09:40.100 --> 03:09:43.100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Our relief goods came from Visayas, from Cebu.

asr-004163
03:09:43.100 --> 03:09:45.100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: So, they fly it through C-130.

asr-004164
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.

asr-004165
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

asr-004166
03:09:53.100 --> 03:09:55.100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: when weather was fine.

asr-004167
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.

asr-004168
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

asr-004169
03:10:04.100 --> 03:10:07.100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: if the big one comes, Mr. Chair.

asr-004170
03:10:07.100 --> 03:10:09.100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: That's why we need not only the processing,

asr-004171
03:10:09.100 --> 03:10:13.100
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: but also the distribution center, Mr. Chair.

asr-004172
03:10:13.100 --> 03:10:16.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: That is very clear, D.S. Emano.

asr-004173
03:10:16.100 --> 03:10:18.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, I believe you have a pending motion.

asr-004174
03:10:18.100 --> 03:10:20.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

asr-004175
03:10:20.100 --> 03:10:25.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: For that matter, proposed 100 million will be allocated

asr-004176
03:10:25.100 --> 03:10:30.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for the purpose of establishing that project, Mr. Chair.

asr-004177
03:10:30.100 --> 03:10:31.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you.

asr-004178
03:10:31.100 --> 03:10:34.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, there's a motion and duly seconded.

asr-004179
03:10:34.100 --> 03:10:39.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Any objections? Hearing none, motion is approved.

asr-004180
03:10:39.100 --> 03:10:41.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Please proceed.

asr-004181
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

asr-004182
03:10:47.100 --> 03:10:54.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: or allocation for the sustainable livelihood program, Mr. Chair.

asr-004183
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

asr-004184
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

asr-004185
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.

asr-004186
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

asr-004187
03:11:29.100 --> 03:11:33.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for the increase of SLP, Mr. Chair.

asr-004188
03:11:33.100 --> 03:11:34.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So, move.

asr-004189
03:11:34.100 --> 03:11:35.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

asr-004190
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.

asr-004191
03:11:44.100 --> 03:11:45.100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Mr. Chair.

asr-004192
03:11:45.100 --> 03:11:46.100
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: I second the motion.

asr-004193
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.

asr-004194
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

asr-004195
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.

asr-004196
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,

asr-004197
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

asr-004198
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.

asr-004199
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

asr-004200
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.

asr-004204
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

asr-004205
03:12:55.100 --> 03:13:01.100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: as well as the motion or the manifestation of Representative Yamsuan

asr-004206
03:13:01.100 --> 03:13:05.100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: as regards the institutionalization of the SLP.

asr-004207
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

asr-004208
03:13:12.100 --> 03:13:15.100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: and has now moved to the Committee on Appropriations

asr-004209
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.

asr-004210
03:13:20.100 --> 03:13:21.100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Thank you.

asr-004211
03:13:21.100 --> 03:13:23.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Honorable Bautista.

asr-004212
03:13:23.100 --> 03:13:28.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, there was a motion and it was duly seconded.

asr-004213
03:13:28.100 --> 03:13:34.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Any objections? Hearing none, motion is approved.

03:13:35.100 --> 03:13:36.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

asr-004216
03:13:37.200 --> 03:13:38.010
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Finally—

asr-004216-split-2
03:13:38.010 --> 03:13:38.770
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Please proceed.

asr-004216-split-3
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.

asr-004217
03:13:41.100 --> 03:13:45.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Any allocation at all for the NEP 2027.

asr-004218
03:13:45.100 --> 03:13:53.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: This is the DSWD Special Committee of LGBTQA+.

asr-004219
03:13:53.100 --> 03:13:56.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So, this is a new special committee.

asr-004220
03:13:56.100 --> 03:14:00.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I think this had existed also last year.

asr-004221
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.

asr-004222
03:14:07.100 --> 03:14:09.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: And so,

asr-004223
03:14:09.100 --> 03:14:11.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to carry out the

asr-004224
03:14:11.100 --> 03:14:13.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: programs

asr-004225
03:14:13.100 --> 03:14:15.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that the Committee had envisioned,

asr-004226
03:14:15.100 --> 03:14:21.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: they need to have the proper budgetary allocation

asr-004227
03:14:21.100 --> 03:14:23.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for this,

asr-004228
03:14:23.100 --> 03:14:25.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Mr. Chair.

asr-004229
03:14:25.100 --> 03:14:26.100

asr-004236
03:14:39.100 --> 03:14:40.100

asr-004237
03:14:40.100 --> 03:14:50.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: There's a motion to increase the budget of the DSWD Special Committee of LGBTQA+.

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,

asr-004243
03:15:02.100 --> 03:15:05.100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I also read the request for this.

asr-004244
03:15:05.100 --> 03:15:08.100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Just to add to what was mentioned by Representative Nava,

asr-004245
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,

asr-004246
03:15:15.100 --> 03:15:17.100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: creating this special committee.

asr-004247
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.

asr-004248
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.

asr-004249
03:15:34.100 --> 03:15:35.100
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Mr. Chair.

asr-004263
03:15:54.100 --> 03:15:55.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: in behalf of the minority,

asr-004264
03:15:55.100 --> 03:16:02.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: we'd like to express our appreciation to the BARSC that these items were included.

asr-004265
03:16:02.100 --> 03:16:06.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Because these were raised by the minority during our delivery.

asr-004266
03:16:06.100 --> 03:16:08.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So, we have a number of considerations.

asr-004267
03:16:08.100 --> 03:16:15.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Protect Teen, Project Aruga, Project SAFE, Sustainable Livelihood Program,

asr-004268
03:16:15.100 --> 03:16:22.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: and the DSWD Special Committee of LGBTQIA+.

asr-004269
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.

asr-004270
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.

asr-004271
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.

asr-004272
03:16:41.100 --> 03:16:43.100
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

asr-004273
03:16:43.100 --> 03:16:44.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Mr. Sponsor.

asr-004274
03:16:44.100 --> 03:16:47.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Maraming salamat, Minority Leader Libanan.

asr-004275
03:16:47.100 --> 03:16:48.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Mr. Chair.

asr-004276
03:16:48.100 --> 03:16:50.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, please proceed.

asr-004277
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.

asr-004278
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.

asr-004279
03:17:00.100 --> 03:17:03.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: But nevertheless, just a manifestation.

asr-004280
03:17:03.100 --> 03:17:04.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Go ahead.

asr-004281
03:17:04.100 --> 03:17:05.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I'll just.

asr-004282
03:17:05.100 --> 03:17:10.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I'll just read the items that is also here in the request.

asr-004283
03:17:10.100 --> 03:17:17.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So, also included is the 20 million additional allocation for KALAHI-CIDSS.

asr-004284
03:17:17.100 --> 03:17:23.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: The 1.4 billion additional allocation for Project LAWA at BINHI.

asr-004285
03:17:23.000 --> 03:17:31.320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: and the 53.7 million additional allocation for the National Authority for Child Care.

asr-004286
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

asr-004287
03:17:40.680 --> 03:17:45.320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: considering of the growing volume of adoptions, Mr. Chair.

asr-004288
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

asr-004289
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.

asr-004290
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.

asr-004291
03:18:15.320 --> 03:18:19.260
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: 70 and above qualified for social pension.

asr-004292
03:18:19.980 --> 03:18:22.320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: That's all, Mr. Chair.

asr-004293
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.

asr-004294
03:18:27.690 --> 03:18:28.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, that is correct.

asr-004295
03:18:28.600 --> 03:18:31.000
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And your manifestation is duly noted.

asr-004296
03:18:31.820 --> 03:18:32.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Maraming salamat po.

asr-004297
03:18:36.620 --> 03:18:37.300
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

asr-004298
03:18:37.300 --> 03:18:43.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So if there are no more items in DSWD, may we flash?

asr-004299
03:18:45.320 --> 03:18:47.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Everything on the screen?

asr-004300
03:18:53.060 --> 03:18:56.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Sorry, the realignment for QRF, please.

asr-004301
03:18:57.960 --> 03:18:59.840
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The 1.75.

asr-004302
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?

asr-004303
03:19:13.980 --> 03:19:14.940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 1.75.

asr-004304
03:19:14.940 --> 03:19:15.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Open, close parenthesis,

asr-004305
03:19:15.320 --> 03:19:17.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 1.75 billion.

asr-004306
03:19:24.080 --> 03:19:25.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Don't put an amount.

asr-004307
03:19:25.860 --> 03:19:28.360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Open, close parenthesis, 1.75.

asr-004308
03:19:28.360 --> 03:19:28.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 1.75.

asr-004309
03:19:44.040 --> 03:19:44.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

asr-004310
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.

asr-004311
03:19:55.340 --> 03:20:06.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And the total is 26,880,300,000.

asr-004312
03:20:06.120 --> 03:20:07.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

asr-004313
03:20:07.120 --> 03:20:08.020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Okay.

asr-004314
03:20:21.800 --> 03:20:25.380
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: , so thank you very much.

asr-004315
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.

asr-004316
03:20:34.880 --> 03:20:36.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-004317
03:20:36.060 --> 03:20:37.640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Pagod na talaga tayong lahat.

asr-004318
03:20:37.980 --> 03:20:39.520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, po, SVC.

asr-004319
03:20:40.840 --> 03:20:42.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC will be sponsoring

asr-004320
03:20:42.340 --> 03:20:44.680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: po, um, the SP as the—

asr-004328
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.

asr-004329
03:20:53.160 --> 03:20:54.400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, SVC?

asr-004330
03:20:54.400 --> 03:20:56.840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-004331
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.

asr-004332
03:21:15.440 --> 03:21:19.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: But as we all understand, limited lang talaga yung ating fiscal space.

asr-004333
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.

asr-004334
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.

asr-004335
03:21:42.060 --> 03:21:44.060
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: The current...

asr-004336
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.

asr-004337
03:22:00.500 --> 03:22:06.800
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And that is much, much lower than the 2026 GAA.

asr-004338
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...

asr-004339
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.

asr-004340
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.

asr-004341
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.

asr-004342
03:22:40.520 --> 03:22:44.520
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And eventually, the goal of the Secretary of DOH...

asr-004343
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.

asr-004344
03:23:07.320 --> 03:23:13.320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, having said that, I would like to propose an additional...

asr-004345
03:23:14.800 --> 03:23:26.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 24,965,776,000 to the MAIFIP program of the DOH.

asr-004346
03:23:26.400 --> 03:23:27.500
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So, move, Madam Chair.

asr-004347
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.

asr-004348
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.

asr-004349
03:23:42.700 --> 03:23:43.580
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, Madam Chair.

asr-004350
03:23:44.800 --> 03:23:52.320
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: It is 24,965,776,000.

asr-004351
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.

asr-004352
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.

asr-004353
03:24:11.340 --> 03:24:12.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, SVC.

asr-004354
03:24:12.480 --> 03:24:15.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion that has been duly seconded.

asr-004355
03:24:15.660 --> 03:24:16.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any objection?

asr-004356
03:24:17.340 --> 03:24:19.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being none, the motion is carried.

asr-004357
03:24:19.660 --> 03:24:21.340
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Madam Chair, just a manifestation.

asr-004358
03:24:21.640 --> 03:24:22.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, po.

asr-004359
03:24:22.020 --> 03:24:23.260
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Madam Chair, if in...

asr-004360
03:24:23.260 --> 03:24:24.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Deputy Speaker Emano?

asr-004361
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,

asr-004362
03:24:28.940 --> 03:24:32.980
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: I think we should add more to the MAIFIP program

asr-004363
03:24:32.980 --> 03:24:34.480
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: because there's this...

asr-004364
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

asr-004365
03:24:39.480 --> 03:24:42.480
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: that might be able to...

asr-004366
03:24:42.480 --> 03:24:48.180
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: to compel doctors to accept already PF under MAIFIP.

asr-004367
03:24:48.760 --> 03:24:50.500
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: So if we will have the same amount,

asr-004368
03:24:52.020 --> 03:24:54.360
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: yeah, if it would be the same amount,

asr-004369
03:24:54.520 --> 03:24:57.660
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: so the 54 billion mentioned earlier,

asr-004370
03:24:58.380 --> 03:24:59.320
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: kulang na naman yun.

asr-004371
03:24:59.740 --> 03:25:02.980
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: So kung meron lang, just a manifestation, Madam Chair.

asr-004372
03:25:03.740 --> 03:25:04.420
Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano: Thank you.

asr-004373
03:25:04.920 --> 03:25:05.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, po.

asr-004374
03:25:05.920 --> 03:25:08.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC, I'll yield to you on that

asr-004375
03:25:08.460 --> 03:25:11.580
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because we've been trying to refine that special provision

asr-004376
03:25:11.580 --> 03:25:12.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: since last year.

asr-004377
03:25:12.480 --> 03:25:15.160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But the special provision is there, po,

asr-004378
03:25:15.300 --> 03:25:16.480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: wherein we provide...

asr-004379
03:25:17.000 --> 03:25:19.200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We allow, supposedly, within...

asr-004380
03:25:19.200 --> 03:25:21.560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We're authorizing, rather, in the GAA

asr-004381
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

asr-004382
03:25:27.220 --> 03:25:29.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: but there is a gap in the actual implementation.

asr-004383
03:25:30.660 --> 03:25:32.080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So I'll yield to SBC

asr-004384
03:25:32.080 --> 03:25:34.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because that's one of the things that we've been

asr-004385
03:25:34.320 --> 03:25:36.060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: trying to work out since last year, po.

asr-004386
03:25:36.560 --> 03:25:38.140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-004387
03:25:38.380 --> 03:25:41.960
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And maganda po yung plano ni Secretary Mercado

asr-004388
03:25:41.960 --> 03:25:47.040
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at ni CEO Beverly tungkol dito,

asr-004389
03:25:47.160 --> 03:25:50.480
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: they will engage the hospitals and the medical societies

asr-004390
03:25:50.480 --> 03:25:54.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: para magkakaroon ng sort of an opt-in program

asr-004391
03:25:54.620 --> 03:25:56.120
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: pagdating dito

asr-004392
03:25:56.120 --> 03:25:58.600
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and this will be some of the conditions.

asr-004393
03:25:59.260 --> 03:26:02.640
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Nang sa ganon, kapag meron ng pasyenteng na confined

asr-004394
03:26:02.640 --> 03:26:04.940
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: kahit sa mga private hospital

asr-004395
03:26:04.940 --> 03:26:07.100
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and they have the opt-in program,

asr-004396
03:26:07.660 --> 03:26:08.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: makakasama na po

asr-004397
03:26:08.620 --> 03:26:10.180
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: because they pre-agreed

asr-004398
03:26:10.180 --> 03:26:11.820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: before signing the

asr-004399
03:26:11.820 --> 03:26:12.200
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: MOA

asr-004400
03:26:12.200 --> 03:26:15.360
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to include not only the hospital bill

asr-004401
03:26:15.360 --> 03:26:17.860
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: but also the professional fee.

asr-004402
03:26:18.200 --> 03:26:19.140
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So maganda po yung plano

asr-004403
03:26:19.140 --> 03:26:20.260
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and hopefully we go to that.

asr-004404
03:26:20.360 --> 03:26:23.020
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: That's why your manifestation is very important.

asr-004405
03:26:24.020 --> 03:26:24.980
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Kung may fiscal space,

asr-004406
03:26:25.580 --> 03:26:26.700
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: sana madagdagan pa natin.

asr-004407
03:26:26.940 --> 03:26:27.620
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you.

asr-004408
03:26:28.620 --> 03:26:30.680
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Thank you, Honorable Emano.

asr-004409
03:26:33.340 --> 03:26:33.900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC?

asr-004410
03:26:34.220 --> 03:26:34.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any more?

asr-004411
03:26:34.860 --> 03:26:35.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yeah.

asr-004412
03:26:35.500 --> 03:26:37.860
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: For medical assistance

asr-004413
03:26:37.860 --> 03:26:40.580
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: for the indigent and financial incapacity...

asr-004414
03:26:41.820 --> 03:26:43.460
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Financially incapable patients.

asr-004415
03:26:44.360 --> 03:26:44.680
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Yan naman.

asr-004416
03:26:45.380 --> 03:26:48.040
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: At the proper time, Mr. Chair,

asr-004417
03:26:48.120 --> 03:26:49.000
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: will you be amenable

asr-004418
03:26:49.000 --> 03:26:50.900
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: for an additional special provision?

asr-004419
03:26:51.620 --> 03:26:52.880
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Because it's quite difficult

asr-004420
03:26:52.880 --> 03:26:55.140
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to limit it to the indigent

asr-004421
03:26:55.140 --> 03:26:56.480
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: where in fact we don't really have

asr-004422
03:26:56.480 --> 03:26:58.500
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: a concrete definition of an indigent.

asr-004423
03:26:59.240 --> 03:27:01.220
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Anyway, the protocol is there.

asr-004424
03:27:01.340 --> 03:27:03.200
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Maybe we can...

asr-004425
03:27:03.200 --> 03:27:04.160
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: We can just...

asr-004426
03:27:04.160 --> 03:27:06.780
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Anyway, in the implementation of the program,

asr-004427
03:27:06.780 --> 03:27:09.840
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: it says basic private ward

asr-004428
03:27:09.840 --> 03:27:10.980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: as the need arises.

asr-004429
03:27:10.980 --> 03:27:12.860
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Wala yung mga suite room.

asr-004430
03:27:14.640 --> 03:27:16.160
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Will it be possible

asr-004431
03:27:16.160 --> 03:27:17.040
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to bring it back

asr-004432
03:27:17.040 --> 03:27:18.160
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to the original program

asr-004433
03:27:18.160 --> 03:27:20.120
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: of medical assistance program

asr-004434
03:27:20.120 --> 03:27:23.620
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: para less ang documentary requirements?

asr-004435
03:27:24.660 --> 03:27:25.180
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: And anyway,

asr-004436
03:27:25.400 --> 03:27:26.960
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: for the implementation,

asr-004437
03:27:27.560 --> 03:27:28.660
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I just don't have the...

asr-004438
03:27:28.660 --> 03:27:31.860
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I actually submitted a letter

asr-004439
03:27:31.860 --> 03:27:33.360
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: that proposes

asr-004440
03:27:33.360 --> 03:27:36.640
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: it applies to indigent patients

asr-004441
03:27:36.640 --> 03:27:37.980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: financially incapable

asr-004442
03:27:37.980 --> 03:27:38.980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in...

asr-004443
03:27:38.980 --> 03:27:39.980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in...

asr-004444
03:27:39.980 --> 03:27:40.540
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in...

asr-004445
03:27:40.540 --> 03:27:42.320
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: financially incapacitated patients.

asr-004446
03:27:42.420 --> 03:27:43.980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: And the third one is patients

asr-004447
03:27:43.980 --> 03:27:45.820
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: whose out-of-pocket expenditure

asr-004448
03:27:45.820 --> 03:27:48.160
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: is more than 60%.

asr-004449
03:27:55.550 --> 03:27:56.270
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Mr. Chair?

asr-004450
03:27:58.160 --> 03:28:00.040
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Actually, it's being implemented.

asr-004451
03:28:00.320 --> 03:28:01.840
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Pero yung...

asr-004452
03:28:01.840 --> 03:28:03.440
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: It's already being implemented.

asr-004453
03:28:03.440 --> 03:28:04.560
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: It's just that

asr-004454
03:28:04.560 --> 03:28:07.720
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: we're insisting on indigent in paper

asr-004455
03:28:07.720 --> 03:28:08.860
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: but in reality,

asr-004456
03:28:09.200 --> 03:28:10.300
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: wala eh.

asr-004457
03:28:10.300 --> 03:28:10.820
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Kasi like,

asr-004458
03:28:10.920 --> 03:28:12.100
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: if you have a cancer patient

asr-004459
03:28:12.100 --> 03:28:13.260
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: or dialysis patient,

asr-004460
03:28:13.400 --> 03:28:14.780
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: nagiging indigent talaga.

asr-004461
03:28:14.920 --> 03:28:15.800
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Nagiging...

asr-004462
03:28:15.800 --> 03:28:17.060
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: So, it's basically,

asr-004463
03:28:18.160 --> 03:28:19.360
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: the MAIFIP will apply

asr-004464
03:28:19.360 --> 03:28:21.140
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to indigent patients,

asr-004465
03:28:21.280 --> 03:28:24.260
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: financially incapacitated patients,

asr-004466
03:28:24.400 --> 03:28:26.300
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: and patients whose out-of-pocket expenditure

asr-004467
03:28:26.300 --> 03:28:28.100
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: is at least 60%.

asr-004468
03:28:28.100 --> 03:28:29.800
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: That will encompass.

asr-004469
03:28:30.240 --> 03:28:31.460
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Kasi ando dun pa rin naman yung

asr-004470
03:28:31.460 --> 03:28:32.420
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: hindi siya maabuso

asr-004471
03:28:32.420 --> 03:28:33.880
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: na private room,

asr-004472
03:28:34.580 --> 03:28:35.720
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I mean suite room.

asr-004473
03:28:38.300 --> 03:28:39.220
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Mr. Chair,

asr-004474
03:28:39.220 --> 03:28:40.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I remember,

asr-004475
03:28:40.300 --> 03:28:42.180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: during the incumbency of

asr-004476
03:28:42.180 --> 03:28:46.100
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: [unclear] Secretary before,

asr-004477
03:28:47.160 --> 03:28:48.160
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that we applied

asr-004478
03:28:48.160 --> 03:28:50.600
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that medical assistance program

asr-004479
03:28:50.600 --> 03:28:53.180
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that would also include

asr-004480
03:28:53.180 --> 03:28:55.500
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: patients that were admitted

asr-004481
03:28:55.500 --> 03:28:57.960
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: under the regular private room.

asr-004482
03:28:58.540 --> 03:28:59.320
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Only the regular,

asr-004483
03:28:59.500 --> 03:29:01.280
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: I think, first level private room.

asr-004484
03:29:02.280 --> 03:29:04.220
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Particularly those who are advised

asr-004485
03:29:04.220 --> 03:29:07.500
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: to have or to be placed in

asr-004486
03:29:07.500 --> 03:29:09.960
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: or confined in a private room.

asr-004487
03:29:10.300 --> 03:29:16.200
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Like the immunocompromised patients,

asr-004488
03:29:17.480 --> 03:29:19.140
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: highly infectious, like that.

asr-004489
03:29:19.620 --> 03:29:21.000
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Sometimes you have a patient,

asr-004490
03:29:21.140 --> 03:29:21.480
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: let's say,

asr-004491
03:29:21.600 --> 03:29:22.300
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: ayaw naman niya,

asr-004492
03:29:22.380 --> 03:29:23.460
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: they don't want to be admitted

asr-004493
03:29:23.460 --> 03:29:24.440
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in a private room,

asr-004494
03:29:24.520 --> 03:29:26.420
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: but because they have active tuberculosis,

asr-004495
03:29:26.640 --> 03:29:28.220
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: they cannot be admitted in the wards.

asr-004496
03:29:29.040 --> 03:29:30.040
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: So, when that happens,

asr-004497
03:29:30.160 --> 03:29:31.480
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: they don't qualify for

asr-004498
03:29:31.480 --> 03:29:33.760
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: MAIP anymore for MAIFIP.

asr-004499
03:29:34.240 --> 03:29:36.300
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Because the original name is really

asr-004500
03:29:36.300 --> 03:29:37.860
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Medical Assistance Program.

asr-004501
03:29:37.860 --> 03:29:40.260
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: And it actually applies to,

asr-004502
03:29:40.300 --> 03:29:42.340
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to all patients admitted

asr-004503
03:29:42.340 --> 03:29:44.440
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in government hospitals

asr-004504
03:29:44.440 --> 03:29:46.200
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: and those in private hospitals

asr-004505
03:29:46.200 --> 03:29:47.560
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: with basic accommodation.

asr-004506
03:29:48.600 --> 03:29:50.980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: If you can be flexible

asr-004507
03:29:50.980 --> 03:29:52.020
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: that we accommodate that

asr-004508
03:29:52.020 --> 03:29:53.240
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in the special provisions.

asr-004509
03:29:53.440 --> 03:29:54.700
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Actually, ang maganda doon,

asr-004510
03:29:55.100 --> 03:29:56.080
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: less documentation.

asr-004511
03:29:56.760 --> 03:29:58.280
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Because the inclusion of the word

asr-004512
03:29:58.280 --> 03:30:00.300
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: indigent pave way to a lot of documents

asr-004513
03:30:00.920 --> 03:30:03.180
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: to prove na indigent yung pasyente.

asr-004514
03:30:03.380 --> 03:30:03.540
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Pero,

asr-004515
03:30:04.500 --> 03:30:06.780
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: in reality, hindi nangyayari.

asr-004516
03:30:06.880 --> 03:30:08.200
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: Nahirapan lang yung pasyente.

asr-004517
03:30:10.300 --> 03:30:12.180
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, we agree po.

asr-004518
03:30:12.340 --> 03:30:15.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, if there's a proposed wording po

asr-004519
03:30:15.860 --> 03:30:17.300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from the Honorable Garin

asr-004520
03:30:17.300 --> 03:30:18.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: with regard to the special provision,

asr-004521
03:30:19.060 --> 03:30:20.860
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I submitted a proposal.

asr-004522
03:30:21.500 --> 03:30:23.640
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I just don't have the copy now.

asr-004523
03:30:23.740 --> 03:30:25.980
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: I'll send it immediately after

asr-004524
03:30:25.980 --> 03:30:26.760
Deputy Speaker Janette L. Garin: when I go home.

asr-004525
03:30:29.840 --> 03:30:30.720
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Madam Chair?

asr-004526
03:30:32.200 --> 03:30:34.460
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes po, Representative Brian Yamsuan.

asr-004527
03:30:34.820 --> 03:30:37.340
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Yes, just in support of what

asr-004528
03:30:37.340 --> 03:30:40.280
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Deputy Speaker Garin has been telling us,

asr-004529
03:30:40.300 --> 03:30:43.940
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: not all na pasyente,

asr-004530
03:30:44.160 --> 03:30:46.200
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: kahit yung mga middle-income families,

asr-004531
03:30:46.880 --> 03:30:48.640
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: talagang kinakailangan din

asr-004532
03:30:48.640 --> 03:30:50.560
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: ng medical assistance minsan.

asr-004533
03:30:50.860 --> 03:30:52.980
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Kahit na kumikita na sila ng tama.

asr-004534
03:30:53.820 --> 03:30:54.940
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Ang problema,

asr-004535
03:30:55.260 --> 03:30:56.520
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: talagang pag malaki masyado

asr-004536
03:30:56.520 --> 03:30:58.000
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: ang bill ng pasyente,

asr-004537
03:30:58.640 --> 03:31:00.200
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: hihingi rin sila ng tulong sa atin.

asr-004538
03:31:00.540 --> 03:31:01.580
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Kahit nga yung mga

asr-004539
03:31:01.580 --> 03:31:04.260
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: pamilya na talagang mahayos na yung trabaho,

asr-004540
03:31:04.380 --> 03:31:06.800
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: kumikita na ng mga 50, 100,000 a month.

asr-004541
03:31:07.020 --> 03:31:08.720
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Pero, panagkasakit yan,

asr-004542
03:31:09.580 --> 03:31:10.280
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: haabutin na yung

asr-004543
03:31:10.300 --> 03:31:12.660
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: mga 500,000, 1 million,

asr-004544
03:31:12.880 --> 03:31:14.040
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: 2 million na mga bill,

asr-004545
03:31:14.580 --> 03:31:16.000
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: kakailangan din pa rin talagang nila

asr-004546
03:31:16.000 --> 03:31:16.900
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: yung tulong sa atin.

asr-004547
03:31:17.060 --> 03:31:19.000
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: At pagdating nga sa documentation,

asr-004548
03:31:19.160 --> 03:31:21.340
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: nahihirapan, lalo pag hindi sila

asr-004549
03:31:21.340 --> 03:31:23.120
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: considered indigent

asr-004550
03:31:23.120 --> 03:31:25.200
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: dahil middle-income family nga sila.

asr-004551
03:31:25.840 --> 03:31:27.600
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: So, pag naayos natin

asr-004552
03:31:27.600 --> 03:31:30.020
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: special provision na magluluwag dun,

asr-004553
03:31:30.620 --> 03:31:32.120
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: kahit paano, malaking hinga yan

asr-004554
03:31:32.120 --> 03:31:33.480
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: sa mga kababayan natin.

asr-004555
03:31:33.880 --> 03:31:35.640
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Especially in the middle-income sector.

asr-004556
03:31:36.120 --> 03:31:36.960
Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan: Thank you, Madam Chair.

asr-004557
03:31:37.260 --> 03:31:38.700
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Yes, Madam Chair.

asr-004558
03:31:38.760 --> 03:31:40.020
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Representative Fuentebella.

asr-004559
03:31:40.300 --> 03:31:43.880
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Yes, mas maganda rin yung

asr-004560
03:31:43.880 --> 03:31:45.640
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: mga taxpayers natin,

asr-004561
03:31:45.720 --> 03:31:46.800
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: yung alagaan natin.

asr-004562
03:31:47.380 --> 03:31:49.780
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: Hindi lang puro dole-out lang tayo

asr-004563
03:31:49.780 --> 03:31:51.740
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: para mabalik naman natin

asr-004564
03:31:51.740 --> 03:31:53.120
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: sa mga taxpayers natin.

asr-004565
03:31:53.220 --> 03:31:55.960
Rep. Arnie B. Fuentebella: What is due, especially on health program?

asr-004566
03:31:58.080 --> 03:31:59.900
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Siguro, second ko

asr-004567
03:31:59.900 --> 03:32:01.680
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: si Kong Brian,

asr-004568
03:32:02.140 --> 03:32:03.460
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Madam Chair,

asr-004569
03:32:04.220 --> 03:32:06.300
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: na even a middle-income family,

asr-004570
03:32:07.980 --> 03:32:09.060
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: pagka na-hospital yan

asr-004571
03:32:09.060 --> 03:32:10.260
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: ng more than one week,

asr-004572
03:32:10.300 --> 03:32:11.380
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: or two weeks,

asr-004573
03:32:11.480 --> 03:32:12.560
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: ubus na savings niyan.

asr-004574
03:32:13.220 --> 03:32:15.960
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So, ang talagang pupuntahan niyan,

asr-004575
03:32:16.620 --> 03:32:17.280
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: yung MAIFIP.

asr-004576
03:32:17.780 --> 03:32:19.340
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Alam natin yan sa probinsya.

asr-004577
03:32:20.120 --> 03:32:20.860
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Wala nang pili.

asr-004578
03:32:21.120 --> 03:32:22.980
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Like ako, wala akong regional hospital.

asr-004579
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.

asr-004580
03:32:30.900 --> 03:32:33.560
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Pagkat tumagal yan sa ospital, hindi na kaya nila.

asr-004581
03:32:33.700 --> 03:32:36.140
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Ubus na savings sila. So, kailangan na nilang tulong.

asr-004582
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.

asr-004583
03:32:43.720 --> 03:32:44.600
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair.

asr-004584
03:32:46.260 --> 03:32:47.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yes, Representative Brian.

asr-004585
03:32:48.320 --> 03:32:52.540
Rep. Brian Poe: Madam Chair, we also have to consider kasi yung considered as near poor,

asr-004586
03:32:52.540 --> 03:32:57.440
Rep. Brian Poe: hindi pa sila poor, pero they're one medical emergency away

asr-004587
03:32:57.440 --> 03:33:01.100
Rep. Brian Poe: from dropping into the poverty line, below the poverty line.

asr-004588
03:33:01.280 --> 03:33:04.460
Rep. Brian Poe: Kaya, importante yung special provision natin.

asr-004589
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,

asr-004590
03:33:12.920 --> 03:33:15.640
Rep. Brian Poe: but at the end of the day, they actually don't qualify.

asr-004591
03:33:16.180 --> 03:33:21.240
Rep. Brian Poe: Kasi masyadong maipit tayo sa mga requirements, lalo na dito sa indigency.

asr-004592
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

asr-004593
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.

asr-004594
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.

asr-004595
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.

asr-004596
03:33:47.900 --> 03:33:51.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If again, for all of our BARSC members,

asr-004597
03:33:51.240 --> 03:33:55.380
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if you have inputs on how to craft this special provision,

asr-004598
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,

asr-004599
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.

asr-004600
03:34:06.360 --> 03:34:08.600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Minority Leader Libanan.

asr-004601
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

asr-004602
03:34:17.380 --> 03:34:21.220
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: on possible inserting a special provision.

asr-004603
03:34:21.240 --> 03:34:24.360
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: So that this can cover a lot of patients.

asr-004604
03:34:24.560 --> 03:34:28.060
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Napaka-importante po nitong MAIFIP natin.

asr-004605
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.

asr-004606
03:34:39.220 --> 03:34:48.820
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Ngayon po, sa NEP natin ng 2027, 24 billion.

asr-004607
03:34:48.820 --> 03:34:50.820
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Pag dinagdagan po natin ito ng 24.

asr-004608
03:34:51.240 --> 03:34:52.460
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 24.9 billion.

asr-004609
03:34:53.140 --> 03:35:01.620
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Ang total is 49 billion.

asr-004610
03:35:03.480 --> 03:35:05.400
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Short pa rin tayo ng 10, mga 10—

asr-004611
03:35:06.420 --> 03:35:07.720
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 2.6.

asr-004612
03:35:07.940 --> 03:35:08.820
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 2.6, yeah.

asr-004613
03:35:09.480 --> 03:35:10.520
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: 2.6 billion.

asr-004614
03:35:12.000 --> 03:35:14.700
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Sana po ay madagdagan po natin ito.

asr-004615
03:35:15.620 --> 03:35:16.440
Minority Leader Marcelino C. Libanan: Thank you.

asr-004616
03:35:17.000 --> 03:35:18.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much.

asr-004617
03:35:18.140 --> 03:35:21.140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Any more manifestations before I rule on the...

asr-004618
03:35:21.240 --> 03:35:22.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the motion?

asr-004619
03:35:23.740 --> 03:35:26.740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Again, SVC, may request you to please reiterate the motion.

asr-004620
03:35:27.560 --> 03:35:28.840
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, thank you Madam Chair.

asr-004621
03:35:29.060 --> 03:35:34.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And we will certainly be looking forward to that special provision.

asr-004622
03:35:35.060 --> 03:35:37.340
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Para mas maraming maka-access ng ating MAIFIP.

asr-004623
03:35:37.740 --> 03:35:41.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So having said that, I would like to reiterate my motion

asr-004624
03:35:41.440 --> 03:35:47.440
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to allocate an additional 24 billion,

asr-004625
03:35:47.740 --> 03:35:49.820
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 965 million,

asr-004626
03:35:50.360 --> 03:35:51.220
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 776

asr-004627
03:35:51.240 --> 03:35:53.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: thousand

asr-004628
03:35:53.240 --> 03:35:55.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to the MAIFIP program of the DOH.

asr-004629
03:35:55.240 --> 03:35:57.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So move, Madam Chair.

asr-004630
03:35:58.240 --> 03:36:00.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion. Duly seconded.

asr-004631
03:36:00.240 --> 03:36:03.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection, the motion is carried.

asr-004632
03:36:03.240 --> 03:36:06.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So with the additional amount,

asr-004633
03:36:06.240 --> 03:36:08.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'd like to correct myself earlier,

asr-004634
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.

asr-004635
03:36:12.240 --> 03:36:16.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It will put it back to the 2026 H-GAB level.

asr-004636
03:36:16.240 --> 03:36:18.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So yun po yung binabanggit ni Mayno,

asr-004637
03:36:18.240 --> 03:36:21.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that there's still a shortfall of around 2 billion.

asr-004638
03:36:21.240 --> 03:36:24.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So again, I'm one with you, Mayno.

asr-004639
03:36:24.240 --> 03:36:26.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If there's any fiscal space,

asr-004640
03:36:26.240 --> 03:36:29.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: which again is very, very challenging at the moment,

asr-004641
03:36:29.240 --> 03:36:32.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we'll try to augment pa po.

asr-004642
03:36:32.240 --> 03:36:35.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC, any more for DOH?

asr-004643
03:36:35.240 --> 03:36:38.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes, just a few more, Madam Chair.

asr-004644
03:36:38.240 --> 03:36:41.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Next is the HFEP program,

asr-004645
03:36:41.240 --> 03:36:47.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: or the Hospital Facility Enhancement Program of the DOH.

asr-004646
03:36:47.240 --> 03:36:50.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Currently, there's an existing,

asr-004647
03:36:50.240 --> 03:37:03.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: 4,472,659,000 in the 2027 proposed budget, Madam Chair.

asr-004648
03:37:03.240 --> 03:37:07.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Pero sa dami ng pangangailangan ng agency

asr-004649
03:37:07.240 --> 03:37:11.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: at ng iba't ibang mga hospital all around the country,

asr-004650
03:37:11.240 --> 03:37:17.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and considering that we have a very limited fiscal space,

asr-004651
03:37:17.240 --> 03:37:19.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: so I am proposing,

asr-004652
03:37:20.240 --> 03:37:28.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to allocate an additional 1,549,000,000

asr-004653
03:37:28.240 --> 03:37:30.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: for this program, Madam Chair.

asr-004654
03:37:30.240 --> 03:37:33.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So moved.

asr-004655
03:37:33.240 --> 03:37:37.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is a motion to increase the amount

asr-004656
03:37:37.240 --> 03:37:40.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the Health Facilities Enhancement Program.

asr-004657
03:37:40.240 --> 03:37:42.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: It has been duly seconded.

asr-004658
03:37:42.240 --> 03:37:45.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There being no objection, the motion is carried.

asr-004659
03:37:45.240 --> 03:37:46.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But again, sorry po,

asr-004660
03:37:46.240 --> 03:37:49.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I may sound like a broken record,

asr-004661
03:37:49.240 --> 03:37:52.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: medyo pared na po akong siryong plaka.

asr-004662
03:37:52.240 --> 03:37:57.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Again, I appeal to the DBM and to DOH

asr-004663
03:37:57.240 --> 03:38:00.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to please fast track the implementation of HFEP.

asr-004664
03:38:00.240 --> 03:38:04.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: There is very high underutilization.

asr-004665
03:38:04.240 --> 03:38:07.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I don't even want to call it underutilization,

asr-004666
03:38:07.240 --> 03:38:10.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: talaga ang dami po, unutilized,

asr-004667
03:38:10.240 --> 03:38:14.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the previous years that have already been accumulating.

asr-004668
03:38:14.240 --> 03:38:17.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So again, we appeal to DOH to please

asr-004669
03:38:17.240 --> 03:38:20.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: work on your catch-up plan

asr-004670
03:38:20.240 --> 03:38:26.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: so we can implement the Health Facilities Enhancement Program items

asr-004671
03:38:26.240 --> 03:38:29.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: from 2025 and 2026.

asr-004672
03:38:29.240 --> 03:38:32.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kasi mayroon pa pong malaking backlog.

asr-004673
03:38:32.240 --> 03:38:33.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you.

asr-004674
03:38:33.240 --> 03:38:34.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC, any more items po?

asr-004675
03:38:34.240 --> 03:38:36.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: Yes, thank you Madam Chair.

asr-004676
03:38:36.240 --> 03:38:38.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: In relation to the HFEP,

asr-004677
03:38:38.240 --> 03:38:39.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Go ahead po.

asr-004678
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

asr-004679
03:38:44.240 --> 03:38:46.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that would guarantee,

asr-004680
03:38:46.240 --> 03:38:53.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: would guarantee the qualifying standards

asr-004681
03:38:53.240 --> 03:38:56.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: on how to allocate the funds

asr-004682
03:38:56.240 --> 03:39:00.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: for the different levels of health facilities.

asr-004683
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

asr-004684
03:39:04.240 --> 03:39:08.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that does not meet the real intention

asr-004685
03:39:08.240 --> 03:39:10.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: as far as the function is concerned.

asr-004686
03:39:10.240 --> 03:39:13.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: There are so many primary care facilities

asr-004687
03:39:13.240 --> 03:39:16.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: without the necessary equipments.

asr-004688
03:39:16.240 --> 03:39:19.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: As well as super health centers

asr-004689
03:39:19.240 --> 03:39:21.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: that were not equipped until now.

asr-004690
03:39:21.240 --> 03:39:25.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: So I think prioritization should be a must,

asr-004691
03:39:25.240 --> 03:39:28.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: must be a must on how to select

asr-004692
03:39:28.240 --> 03:39:31.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: these facilities to be funded.

asr-004693
03:39:31.240 --> 03:39:35.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: If we can put some measures,

asr-004694
03:39:35.240 --> 03:39:41.240
Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.: how to qualify to be funded under the HFEP.

asr-004695
03:39:41.240 --> 03:39:44.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Vice Chair Raman.

asr-004696
03:39:44.240 --> 03:39:45.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Actually, I agree with you on that.

asr-004697
03:39:45.240 --> 03:39:46.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Andami pong nangyayari

asr-004698
03:39:46.240 --> 03:39:47.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na may super health center,

asr-004699
03:39:47.240 --> 03:39:49.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: walang doktor or walang equipment.

asr-004700
03:39:49.240 --> 03:39:51.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So it's not fully functional.

asr-004701
03:39:51.240 --> 03:39:54.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So we'll try to put po

asr-004702
03:39:54.240 --> 03:39:56.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in the special provision.

asr-004703
03:39:56.240 --> 03:39:57.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If you have a suggestion po,

asr-004704
03:39:57.240 --> 03:40:01.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we would be very happy to put it into,

asr-004705
03:40:01.240 --> 03:40:04.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to consider it for the HGAB

asr-004706
03:40:04.240 --> 03:40:08.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: para po mas stringent yung qualification criteria

asr-004707
03:40:08.240 --> 03:40:13.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for these particular programs or projects.

asr-004708
03:40:13.240 --> 03:40:16.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So sige pa, we'll wait po,

asr-004709
03:40:16.240 --> 03:40:17.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Vice Chair Raman,

asr-004710
03:40:17.240 --> 03:40:18.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if you have a suggestion

asr-004711
03:40:18.240 --> 03:40:21.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: on the wording for the special provision.

asr-004712
03:40:21.240 --> 03:40:22.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: SVC?

asr-004713
03:40:22.240 --> 03:40:23.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Yes.

asr-004714
03:40:23.240 --> 03:40:28.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Regarding what Representative Naba said,

asr-004715
03:40:28.240 --> 03:40:31.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: as sponsor of the budget of the DOH,

asr-004716
03:40:31.240 --> 03:40:34.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: we'll be happy to work with Representative Naba

asr-004717
03:40:34.240 --> 03:40:38.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: to work on the special provision needed

asr-004718
03:40:38.240 --> 03:40:40.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: for our HFEP.

asr-004719
03:40:40.240 --> 03:40:41.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: Likewise, Madam Chair,

asr-004720
03:40:41.240 --> 03:40:43.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: I'd like to inform the body that

asr-004721
03:40:43.240 --> 03:40:47.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: we are also drafting a special provision

asr-004722
03:40:47.240 --> 03:40:51.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: so that we could possibly tap

asr-004723
03:40:51.240 --> 03:40:56.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: the unallocated amounts

asr-004724
03:40:56.240 --> 03:40:59.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: from the sin taxes

asr-004725
03:40:59.240 --> 03:41:04.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: so that we can fund more facilities

asr-004726
03:41:04.240 --> 03:41:08.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with the HFEP program.

asr-004727
03:41:08.240 --> 03:41:11.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: We will try to reconcile the balance

asr-004728
03:41:11.240 --> 03:41:13.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with the DBM

asr-004729
03:41:13.240 --> 03:41:16.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: of the Treasury and the DOH

asr-004730
03:41:16.240 --> 03:41:18.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: and after which we will be coming up

asr-004731
03:41:18.240 --> 03:41:21.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: with a special provision, Madam Chair.

asr-004732
03:41:21.240 --> 03:41:26.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: So just for information of the body.

asr-004733
03:41:26.240 --> 03:41:28.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Ang ganda po na idea ni SVC

asr-004734
03:41:28.240 --> 03:41:30.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because it's similar po,

asr-004735
03:41:30.240 --> 03:41:31.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: what SVC was saying,

asr-004736
03:41:31.240 --> 03:41:32.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it's similar to how we did it

asr-004737
03:41:32.240 --> 03:41:35.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the deficiency to SUCs

asr-004738
03:41:35.240 --> 03:41:38.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for the free higher education program.

asr-004739
03:41:38.240 --> 03:41:42.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Meron pong higher education development fund,

asr-004740
03:41:42.240 --> 03:41:44.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: meron po kasing SAG-F.

asr-004741
03:41:44.240 --> 03:41:46.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: May special fund po na natutulog lang

asr-004742
03:41:46.240 --> 03:41:48.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: na hindi po naiutilize.

asr-004743
03:41:48.240 --> 03:41:50.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So that's why SVC had an idea

asr-004744
03:41:50.240 --> 03:41:53.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to do something similar for HFEP

asr-004745
03:41:53.240 --> 03:41:55.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and the health sector in general.

asr-004746
03:41:55.240 --> 03:41:58.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So we're looking forward po, SVC,

asr-004747
03:41:58.240 --> 03:42:00.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to seeing the final version

asr-004748
03:42:00.240 --> 03:42:01.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: of that special provision.

asr-004749
03:42:01.240 --> 03:42:03.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That would be so helpful

asr-004750
03:42:03.240 --> 03:42:05.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: in funding programs

asr-004751
03:42:05.240 --> 03:42:07.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and not just funding programs,

asr-004752
03:42:07.240 --> 03:42:09.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: just making sure no fund is wasted

asr-004753
03:42:09.240 --> 03:42:11.240
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: lying in the SAG-F.

asr-004754
03:42:12.240 --> 03:42:13.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: That is correct.

asr-004755
03:42:13.240 --> 03:42:15.240
Rep. Albert S. Garcia: And we will keep you posted, Madam Chair.

03:54:29.320 --> 03:54:31.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Congressman Momo,

asr-005095
03:54:31.320 --> 03:54:33.320

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: agency tasked to implement this

asr-005097

asr-005098
03:54:37.320 --> 03:54:39.320

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: same as mentioned, ang daming

asr-005100
03:54:41.320 --> 03:54:43.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: non-implementable, maraming nasayang, tama?

asr-005101
03:54:43.320 --> 03:54:45.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: That could have been implemented, yung

asr-005102
03:54:45.320 --> 03:54:47.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: iba nag-aangal na may delay.

asr-005103
03:54:47.320 --> 03:54:49.320

03:54:49.320 --> 03:54:51.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: yung mga sectioning

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: minadali.

asr-005107
03:54:55.320 --> 03:54:57.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So wala na naman sa laki ng,

asr-005108
03:54:57.320 --> 03:54:59.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: you know, like,

asr-005109
03:54:59.320 --> 03:55:01.320

asr-005112
03:55:05.320 --> 03:55:07.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Hindi naman lahat yan

asr-005114
03:55:09.320 --> 03:55:11.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: at saka yung mga, di ba?

asr-005115
03:55:11.320 --> 03:55:13.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Kailangan talaga

asr-005116
03:55:13.320 --> 03:55:15.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: because of what happened this year

asr-005117
03:55:15.320 --> 03:55:17.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: that it really caused delay,

asr-005118
03:55:17.320 --> 03:55:19.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: waste of money

asr-005119
03:55:19.320 --> 03:55:21.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: because non-implementable.

asr-005120
03:55:21.320 --> 03:55:23.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So dapat talagang ibigay yung

asr-005121
03:55:23.320 --> 03:55:25.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: flexibility sa DPWH.

asr-005122
03:55:25.320 --> 03:55:27.320

03:55:37.320 --> 03:55:39.320

asr-005129
03:55:39.320 --> 03:55:41.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: DP na mag-reform.

asr-005130
03:55:41.320 --> 03:55:43.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So dapat bigyan na rin natin sila ng

asr-005131
03:55:43.320 --> 03:55:45.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: not discretion, but leeway

asr-005132
03:55:45.320 --> 03:55:47.320
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: for them to be able to implement

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: in the proposal.

asr-005148

asr-005155
03:56:31.320 --> 03:56:33.320
Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II: pagkakamali. Sometimes it takes

03:56:33.320 --> 03:56:35.320
Rep. Jose "Joboy" S. Aquino II: five, eight months.

asr-005157
03:56:35.320 --> 03:56:37.320

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: Actually, national building

asr-005174
03:57:09.320 --> 03:57:11.320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: owned by the national government.

asr-005175

03:58:21.320 --> 03:58:23.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you. Vice-chair

asr-005211
03:58:23.320 --> 03:58:26.350
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Pupito Alvarez.

asr-005212
03:58:26.400 --> 03:58:27.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: I just like

asr-005213
03:58:27.320 --> 03:58:29.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: to manifest or a little bit

asr-005214
03:58:29.320 --> 03:58:31.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: add to what

asr-005215
03:58:31.320 --> 03:58:33.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: Chair Momo is

asr-005216
03:58:33.320 --> 03:58:35.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: saying. But

asr-005217
03:58:35.320 --> 03:58:37.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: I think the

asr-005218
03:58:37.320 --> 03:58:39.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: better word to use is not

asr-005219
03:58:39.320 --> 03:58:41.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: modify. Because

asr-005220
03:58:41.320 --> 03:58:43.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: modify,

asr-005221
03:58:43.320 --> 03:58:45.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: will be suspect

asr-005222
03:58:45.320 --> 03:58:47.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: if there is no

asr-005223
03:58:47.320 --> 03:58:49.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: error. But the better

asr-005224
03:58:49.320 --> 03:58:51.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: word is to correct the

asr-005225
03:58:51.320 --> 03:58:53.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: wrong entries, the wrong

asr-005226
03:58:53.320 --> 03:58:55.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: coordinates, and

asr-005227
03:58:55.320 --> 03:58:57.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: misprint. So if you use the word

asr-005228
03:58:57.320 --> 03:58:59.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: modify or alter,

asr-005229
03:58:59.320 --> 03:59:01.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: that is suspect.

asr-005230
03:59:01.320 --> 03:59:03.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: So I would suggest to use

asr-005231
03:59:03.320 --> 03:59:05.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: the word to correct the wrong

asr-005232
03:59:05.320 --> 03:59:07.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: entries, the wrong coordinates,

asr-005233
03:59:07.320 --> 03:59:09.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: and the wrong

asr-005234
03:59:09.320 --> 03:59:11.320
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: misprint.

asr-005235
03:59:11.320 --> 03:59:12.660
Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez: If I may.

asr-005235-split-2
03:59:12.660 --> 03:59:13.320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: I agree.

asr-005236
03:59:13.320 --> 03:59:15.320
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.: Thank you.

asr-005237
03:59:17.320 --> 03:59:19.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Although, Chair Momo, the technical

asr-005238
03:59:19.320 --> 03:59:21.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: term kasi even in the

asr-005239
03:59:21.320 --> 03:59:23.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: general provisions po kasi

asr-005240
03:59:23.320 --> 03:59:25.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: it's modification po kasi talaga yung

asr-005241
03:59:25.320 --> 03:59:27.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: technical term.

asr-005242
03:59:31.320 --> 03:59:33.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Yun po kasi yung technical terminology

asr-005243
03:59:33.320 --> 03:59:35.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: even in the general provisions.

asr-005244
03:59:35.320 --> 03:59:37.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Momo, if I

asr-005245
03:59:37.320 --> 03:59:39.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: may, just to

asr-005246
03:59:39.320 --> 03:59:41.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: reiterate what Chair Momo

asr-005247
03:59:41.320 --> 03:59:43.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is saying, we would just

asr-005248
03:59:43.320 --> 03:59:45.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: like to highlight that

asr-005249
03:59:45.320 --> 03:59:47.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: whichever items

asr-005250
03:59:47.320 --> 03:59:49.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair Momo is

asr-005251
03:59:49.320 --> 03:59:51.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: advocating for

asr-005252
03:59:51.320 --> 03:59:53.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: for inclusion in DPWH, all of these

asr-005253
03:59:53.320 --> 03:59:55.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: are supported by

asr-005254
03:59:55.320 --> 03:59:57.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: all the documentary requirements

asr-005255
03:59:57.320 --> 03:59:59.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: consistent with the requirements of

asr-005256
03:59:59.320 --> 04:00:01.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the DBM during

asr-005257
04:00:01.320 --> 04:00:03.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the budget call. So

asr-005258
04:00:03.320 --> 04:00:05.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: just to reiterate po, there are five

asr-005259
04:00:05.320 --> 04:00:07.320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: documentary requirements. There's

asr-005260
04:00:07.320 --> 04:00:09.320

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.

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.

asr-005882
04:26:28.620 --> 04:26:30.120
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: the Department of Migrant Workers.

asr-005883
04:26:30.980 --> 04:26:32.900
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Okay. We have two items for this,

asr-005884
04:26:33.000 --> 04:26:34.840
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Madam Chair. We've already

asr-005885
04:26:34.840 --> 04:26:36.880
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: manifested our support for these

asr-005886
04:26:36.880 --> 04:26:39.020
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: two programs during the budget briefings.

asr-005887
04:26:40.400 --> 04:26:41.120
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Specifically

asr-005888
04:26:41.120 --> 04:26:43.160
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: for Action Fund

asr-005889
04:26:43.160 --> 04:26:44.240
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: ng DMW.

asr-005890
04:26:44.240 --> 04:26:45.240
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: However,

asr-005891
04:26:45.240 --> 04:26:47.520
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: this is also supported

asr-005892
04:26:47.520 --> 04:26:49.740
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: by a request from the agency.

asr-005893
04:26:50.400 --> 04:26:51.160
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: However, considering

asr-005894
04:26:51.160 --> 04:26:53.260
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: that our

asr-005895
04:26:53.260 --> 04:26:55.340
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: limited fiscal space at the moment,

asr-005896
04:26:56.080 --> 04:26:56.740
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: maybe

asr-005897
04:26:56.740 --> 04:26:58.940
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I will just move

asr-005898
04:26:58.940 --> 04:27:01.420
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: for an increase of at least

asr-005899
04:27:01.420 --> 04:27:03.320
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: 150 million

asr-005900
04:27:03.320 --> 04:27:04.220
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: additional

asr-005901
04:27:04.220 --> 04:27:07.500
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: 150 million for the Action Fund,

asr-005902
04:27:07.640 --> 04:27:08.180
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Madam Chair.

asr-005903
04:27:10.060 --> 04:27:11.700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Just to clarify,

asr-005904
04:27:12.300 --> 04:27:13.340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Kong Joanne, sorry,

asr-005905
04:27:13.340 --> 04:27:15.220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I keep on asking the same question.

asr-005906
04:27:15.240 --> 04:27:17.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The DMW, as well as the OWA,

asr-005907
04:27:18.060 --> 04:27:19.920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: got an additional, I think,

asr-005908
04:27:19.980 --> 04:27:21.960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: 4 billion from Uplift.

asr-005909
04:27:22.600 --> 04:27:22.800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So,

asr-005910
04:27:23.200 --> 04:27:25.040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: nagamit na po ba yung

asr-005911
04:27:25.040 --> 04:27:27.540
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: yung amount nila?

asr-005912
04:27:28.320 --> 04:27:29.940
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: For the record, Madam Chair,

asr-005913
04:27:30.060 --> 04:27:32.180
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I'm no longer the budget sponsor

asr-005914
04:27:32.180 --> 04:27:32.700
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: for this.

asr-005915
04:27:32.860 --> 04:27:35.960
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: Ano, baka po nakalimutan natin. But I believe there was

asr-005916
04:27:35.960 --> 04:27:38.500
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: a supplemental

asr-005917
04:27:38.500 --> 04:27:40.420
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: budget because

asr-005918
04:27:40.420 --> 04:27:42.520
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: they were able to fully utilize

asr-005919
04:27:42.520 --> 04:27:44.560
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: already what we have given

asr-005920
04:27:44.560 --> 04:27:45.220
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: them for 2026.

asr-005921
04:27:45.240 --> 04:27:46.720
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: As of

asr-005922
04:27:46.720 --> 04:27:48.280
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: the first

asr-005923
04:27:48.280 --> 04:27:50.220
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: two months of

asr-005924
04:27:50.220 --> 04:27:52.280
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: the Middle East crisis.

asr-005925
04:27:52.520 --> 04:27:54.480
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: So, they were given supplemental budget.

asr-005926
04:27:54.940 --> 04:27:56.280
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: But as to the utilization,

asr-005927
04:27:56.680 --> 04:27:57.640
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: I'm not very sure.

asr-005928
04:27:58.480 --> 04:28:00.800
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: But, maybe we can get the data

asr-005929
04:28:00.800 --> 04:28:02.300
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: from the...

asr-005930
04:28:02.300 --> 04:28:05.080
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: But the NEP level, Madam Chair,

asr-005931
04:28:05.460 --> 04:28:06.400
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: is at 2 billion.

asr-005932
04:28:07.120 --> 04:28:08.480
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: NEP 2027,

asr-005933
04:28:08.740 --> 04:28:10.600
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: the Action Fund is 2 billion.

asr-005934
04:28:10.600 --> 04:28:11.800
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: This is the same amount

asr-005935
04:28:11.800 --> 04:28:14.220
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: that was given to them last year.

asr-005936
04:28:14.820 --> 04:28:15.000
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: So,

asr-005937
04:28:15.240 --> 04:28:17.040
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: actually, they're asking for

asr-005938
04:28:17.040 --> 04:28:19.000
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: another 1 billion.

asr-005939
04:28:19.560 --> 04:28:21.180
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: But we understand

asr-005940
04:28:21.180 --> 04:28:22.680
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: the limited fiscal

asr-005941
04:28:22.680 --> 04:28:25.020
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: capacity that we have

asr-005942
04:28:25.020 --> 04:28:26.980
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: at the moment. So, I am

asr-005943
04:28:26.980 --> 04:28:28.600
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: moving for at least

asr-005944
04:28:28.600 --> 04:28:31.160
Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista: 150 million increase, Madam Chair.

asr-005945
04:28:31.700 --> 04:28:32.860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Kong Joanne.

asr-005946
04:28:32.980 --> 04:28:34.880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Force of habit. Nasanay ako na ikaw yung

04:28:36.880 --> 04:28:37.440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: I'm so sorry.

asr-006321-split-3
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,

asr-006322
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.

asr-006323
05:07:23.000 --> 05:07:24.760

asr-006323-split-3
05:07:42.170 --> 05:07:52.980
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So before I move to the second item, I'd like to manifest, Madam Chair, that since we're still looking at other sources, and there might be new sources

asr-006324
05:07:53.000 --> 05:08:22.980
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: that we will consider before the second reading, I would like to again manifest that in the event we find additional sources, I would like to request additional budget for the acquisition of this building, Madam Chair.

asr-006325
05:08:23.000 --> 05:08:41.290
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: The manifestation po is duly noted. Again, if we're able to find additional sources po, hopefully between now or the [unclear] approval, we will consider this po for additional funding.

05:08:41.290 --> 05:08:42.050

05:13:52.410 --> 05:14:23.000
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If there are no other numerical proposals po, just the same as last year, for the sake of transparency po, the staff of the Committee on Appropriations have been putting together all the special provisions as requested by the different agencies. I know po last year BARSC elected not to go through every single line item because of the

asr-006339
05:14:23.000 --> 05:14:52.980
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: volume. But for the sake of transparency po, are you ready to show? Do we start with, may GP ba or SP lahat? Okay. Can we flash on the screen? How many items 'yan?
