Ejercito: At alin ang mga pangangailangan ang dapat nating unahin sa pagbabalangkas ng budget para sa fiscal year 2027? asr-000219 00:31:17.460 --> 00:31:21.220 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: As Chair of the Senate Committee on Finance, and as I have done so for many years, asr-000220 00:31:21.220 --> 00:31:23.760 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I reaffirm our commitment to sustaining the AFP's modernization asr-000221 00:31:23.760 --> 00:31:26.900 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: with our fiscal constraints. asr-000222 00:31:27.420 --> 00:31:35.000 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Kapag hinahamak ang ating bandila at kinigipit ang ating mga kababayan sa sarili nating mga karagatan, asr-000223 00:31:35.800 --> 00:31:39.460 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: dapat malinaw ang ating prinsipyo at matatag ang ating tugon. asr-000224 00:31:40.300 --> 00:31:43.420 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sa gitna ng maraming mga hamon at kinakaharap ng ating bansa, asr-000225 00:31:43.620 --> 00:31:51.780 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: kailangan buo ang ating loob at nagkakaisang ating pagtindig na mapagtatanggol ng pambansang interes. asr-000226 00:31:52.580 --> 00:31:53.600 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ito ang diwa ng pambansang interes. asr-000228 00:31:53.740 --> 00:31:57.900 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ito ang pangakong ating binibigas sa tuwing inaawit ang lupang hinirang, asr-000229 00:31:58.340 --> 00:32:02.180 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na sa harap ng sino mang manlulupig kailanman ay hindi tayo pasisiil. asr-000230 00:32:02.900 --> 00:32:07.380 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I remain steadfast in my belief that defending our nation's honor and sovereignty asr-000231 00:32:07.380 --> 00:32:13.040 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: through the attainment of a credible defense posture must transcend partisan loyalties, asr-000232 00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.100 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: political considerations, and personal interests. asr-000233 00:32:16.820 --> 00:32:20.420 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: The defense of our nation must always rise above politics asr-000234 00:32:20.420 --> 00:32:23.580 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and remain firmly anchored in our shared commitment asr-000235 00:32:23.580 --> 00:32:27.280 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: to national security, sovereignty, and the Filipino people. asr-000236 00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:28.380 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Maraming salamat po. asr-000237 00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:32.720 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: At this juncture, also, the Chair would like to acknowledge the presence of our Senate President, asr-000238 00:32:33.420 --> 00:32:34.500 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Senator Win Gatchalian. asr-000239 00:32:35.560 --> 00:32:38.660 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So I'd like to ask my colleagues if they have any opening statement. asr-000240 00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:40.660 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Let me start with our Senate President. asr-000241 00:32:42.980 --> 00:32:44.480 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Magandang hapon, Mr. Chairman. asr-000242 00:32:44.600 --> 00:32:49.960 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Magandang hapon, Secretary Teodoro, sa lahat po ng ating kasama sa Armed Forces of the Philippines. asr-000243 00:32:51.700 --> 00:32:53.460 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Talaga pong mabilis pong nagbabalik. asr-000244 00:32:53.580 --> 00:32:58.820 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pabago ang geopolitical situation dito sa ating region at sa buong mundo na rin. asr-000245 00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:05.100 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Nakikita po natin yung iba't ibang mga conflict na nangyari sa Middle East, asr-000246 00:33:05.700 --> 00:33:10.340 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: sa Eastern Europe, at sa iba pang parte ng buong mundo. asr-000247 00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:15.440 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: At sa ganitong punto, importante po na maging handa tayo asr-000248 00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:20.060 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: at patuloy po natin minomodernize at pinapalakas po ang ating Armed Forces. asr-000249 00:33:20.520 --> 00:33:23.440 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasama na rin po dito yung pagdating po sa cyber warfare. asr-000250 00:33:23.580 --> 00:33:28.720 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Marami rin po akong pabalitaan at napapanood po sa balita asr-000251 00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:39.680 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: na ang cyber warfare ay isa po sa mga bagay na nagiging realidad na sa mga ganito pong sitwasyon. asr-000252 00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:44.620 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Alam ko, komplikado po itong cyberspace pero ganun pa man, asr-000253 00:33:44.620 --> 00:33:53.540 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: importante na nakakabili [unclear] po tayo ng mga asr-000254 00:33:53.580 --> 00:34:02.780 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kagamitan na makakatulong po tayo sa pagprepara sa mga ganitong conflicts at warfare. asr-000255 00:34:03.740 --> 00:34:13.300 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: At sa kabilang punto, ang Armed Forces of the Philippines ay hindi lang tag-defend ng ating bansa asr-000256 00:34:13.300 --> 00:34:18.940 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kung hindi rin rin meresponder ito sa mga kalamidad na nangyayari po sa ating bansa. asr-000257 00:34:18.940 --> 00:34:23.340 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: At isa rin po sa mga bagay na dapat po natin tignan, asr-000258 00:34:23.580 --> 00:34:31.200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: multi-role capability ng ating armed forces, lalo na pag tumatama sa ating malaking bagyo asr-000259 00:34:31.200 --> 00:34:35.600 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: o mayroong mga malalaking kalamidad na nararanasan natin. asr-000260 00:34:36.220 --> 00:34:44.120 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So kami po ay sumusuporta sa pagbibigay ng dagdag kapasidad ng ating armed forces asr-000261 00:34:44.120 --> 00:34:49.540 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: at importante rin po na tuloy-tuloy yung supporta, sustainable yung pagsusuporta natin asr-000262 00:34:49.540 --> 00:34:53.200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: hanggat umabot tayo sa kakayahan na gusto natin makita. asr-000263 00:34:53.580 --> 00:34:54.960 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So maraming salamat, Mr. Chairman. asr-000264 00:34:55.820 --> 00:35:02.600 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, our Senate President. Maraming salamat din sa supporta mo nung isang taon sa ating armed forces. asr-000265 00:35:02.820 --> 00:35:06.240 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: The biggest ever, probably, budget for the AFP modernization. asr-000266 00:35:06.860 --> 00:35:08.820 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Our colleague, Senator Panfilo Lacson. asr-000267 00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:16.420 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: None from this representation. I'll just listen to the presentation and seek clarification if I need to. Thank you. asr-000268 00:35:16.780 --> 00:35:18.520 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, Senator Lacson, Senator Tulfo. asr-000269 00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:22.340 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Magandang araw po sa ating lahat. asr-000270 00:35:22.340 --> 00:35:28.760 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Today, as we deliberate the proposed 2027 budget of the Department of National Defense, asr-000271 00:35:29.180 --> 00:35:37.480 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: let us be guided by our commitment to protect our sovereignty, uphold our territorial integrity, asr-000272 00:35:38.460 --> 00:35:41.220 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: and ensure the safety and security of every Filipinos. asr-000273 00:35:42.940 --> 00:35:48.300 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: But how can we do that if the budget of the National Defense is cut down, asr-000274 00:35:48.300 --> 00:35:52.300 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: if I'm not mistaken, about 43.01%? asr-000275 00:35:52.340 --> 00:35:57.620 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Bapano po natin mapoprotektahan ang ating soberenya, asr-000276 00:35:58.780 --> 00:36:01.020 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: pagtatanggol po ang ating teritoryo, asr-000277 00:36:01.740 --> 00:36:07.300 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: at masiguro ang siguridad at kapakanan ng bawat Pilipino kung binawasan po ng budget? asr-000278 00:36:09.100 --> 00:36:11.340 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Ang budget na ito ay hindi lamang tungkol sa numbers and allocations. asr-000279 00:36:12.080 --> 00:36:18.280 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: It represents our investment in stronger, more capable, and more modern armed forces of the Philippines. asr-000280 00:36:19.020 --> 00:36:22.280 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Ang bawat pisong inilalaan sa pambansang depensa ay dapat, asr-000281 00:36:22.340 --> 00:36:24.420 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: magsilbi sa kapakanan ng sambayan ng Pilipino. asr-000282 00:36:25.260 --> 00:36:31.160 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Every allocation must translate into tangible improvements in our country's defense, posture, asr-000283 00:36:31.780 --> 00:36:37.940 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: operational readiness, and ability to respond to both traditional emerging security challenges. asr-000284 00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:41.120 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Nabawasan nga po ang external threat. asr-000285 00:36:42.220 --> 00:36:49.300 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Ang ating internal threat, tumaas naman po ang external threat, meaning kalaban galing sa labas. asr-000286 00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:52.300 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: How do we address that kung mas maliit po na budget? asr-000287 00:36:53.060 --> 00:36:57.300 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: We also recognize that national defense goes beyond preparedness. asr-000288 00:36:58.240 --> 00:37:01.640 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: It encompasses our commitment to our soldiers and their families, asr-000289 00:37:01.740 --> 00:37:05.140 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: our support for communities affected by conflict and disasters, asr-000290 00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:08.800 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: and our contribution to a peaceful, secure, and resilient Philippines. asr-000291 00:37:09.500 --> 00:37:14.540 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: We look forward to a constructive discussion of DND's 2027 proposed budget asr-000292 00:37:14.540 --> 00:37:19.700 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: to ensure that every peso strategically allocated, responsibly spent, asr-000293 00:37:19.700 --> 00:37:22.200 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: and aligned with our national defense priorities. asr-000294 00:37:22.340 --> 00:37:24.400 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Maraming salamat po, Gen. Chairman. asr-000295 00:37:26.300 --> 00:37:27.860 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, Senator Tulfo. asr-000296 00:37:29.600 --> 00:37:34.820 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Before we ask the Department of National Defense and the AFP for the presentation, asr-000297 00:37:34.980 --> 00:37:38.420 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I seek the indulgence of our colleagues to allow the department and the touch agency asr-000298 00:37:38.420 --> 00:37:41.420 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: to conclude their presentation before asking questions. asr-000299 00:37:42.040 --> 00:37:45.900 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Each center will be allowed later with about 10 minutes for questions. asr-000300 00:37:46.420 --> 00:37:50.980 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: In keeping tradition, of course, we will give priority to the officials of the Senate, asr-000301 00:37:50.980 --> 00:37:51.960 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: followed by the centers. asr-000302 00:37:52.340 --> 00:37:53.500 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: In the order of the arrival. asr-000303 00:37:54.140 --> 00:38:00.000 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So at this point, at this juncture, I would like now to call to our Secretary of National Defense, asr-000304 00:38:00.100 --> 00:38:05.440 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Gilbert Teodoro, Jr., to deliver his opening statement and the presentation of the department asr-000305 00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:06.980 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: and its attached agencies thereafter. asr-000306 00:38:07.240 --> 00:38:07.560 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you. asr-000307 00:38:08.100 --> 00:38:10.320 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Secretary Teodoro, you now have the floor. asr-000308 00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:16.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Thank you very much, Mr. Chairperson, and to our Senate President and our sponsor last year, asr-000309 00:38:16.980 --> 00:38:22.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to our Senator Lacson, Vice Chairman, and Senator Tulfo, Vice Chairman, likewise. asr-000310 00:38:22.340 --> 00:38:30.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It is indeed an honor to present our budget request once again to this honorable chamber. asr-000311 00:38:31.680 --> 00:38:41.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And might I just give a short preface and then if with the indulgence of the senators, asr-000312 00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:52.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: go straight to page 15 of the presentation, which is the highlights of the proposed budget per NET. asr-000313 00:38:52.340 --> 00:39:22.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Firstly, we, the Armed Forces of the Philippines, at the forefront together with the Department of National Defense in cooperation with other agencies, have been at the forefront of external defense operations in order to deter further aggression in the West Philippine Sea and other areas now not traditionally encompassed. asr-000314 00:39:22.340 --> 00:39:32.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Secondly, there still is robust presence to preserve the gains of internal security asr-000315 00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:38.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in areas which have been cleared of the CPP, NPA, and DF threat. asr-000316 00:39:39.160 --> 00:39:47.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Nonetheless, we estimate that robust presence of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, asr-000317 00:39:47.420 --> 00:39:52.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: considering that the coverage of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, asr-000318 00:39:52.340 --> 00:39:58.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: not only for operational purposes, but also for administrative and logistical purposes, asr-000319 00:39:59.060 --> 00:40:04.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: is not as robust within the 7,600 islands as we want. asr-000320 00:40:06.240 --> 00:40:14.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For this reason, the Philippine Army has been tasked to scope its areas of operations asr-000321 00:40:14.120 --> 00:40:19.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and also to determine for logistical and staging purposes asr-000322 00:40:19.980 --> 00:40:22.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and support purposes for our military. asr-000323 00:40:22.160 --> 00:40:25.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For our strategic basing, which we have proposed, asr-000324 00:40:26.540 --> 00:40:33.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it is necessary to establish new presence, whether these be brigades or divisions. asr-000325 00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:39.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Secondly, these areas will serve as nodes for our critical infrastructure, asr-000326 00:40:39.500 --> 00:40:43.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which has to be, as we determined, stand-alone. asr-000327 00:40:44.300 --> 00:40:49.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: You mentioned earlier our cyber systems. asr-000328 00:40:50.140 --> 00:40:51.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We do have capabilities. asr-000329 00:40:52.160 --> 00:41:02.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: However, these rely on the, shall we say, asr-000330 00:41:02.460 --> 00:41:07.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: sterile nature of critical basic infrastructure, asr-000331 00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:12.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which we have had to remediate and deal with. asr-000332 00:41:12.520 --> 00:41:19.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: As you know, in terms of IT, you start with IT and then you progress to cyber asr-000333 00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:21.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because your IT foundation is... asr-000334 00:41:22.160 --> 00:41:26.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the basis of your resilience and stability. asr-000335 00:41:26.900 --> 00:41:32.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And one compromise in any area can lead to systemic compromises in others. asr-000336 00:41:33.100 --> 00:41:36.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: This we had to continue to remediate. asr-000337 00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:39.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And as we construct our new infrastructure, asr-000338 00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:47.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we will incorporate the resilience necessary in these areas. asr-000339 00:41:48.460 --> 00:41:50.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For our Navy, asr-000340 00:41:52.160 --> 00:41:57.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the major thrust once again is not only for the new platforms asr-000341 00:41:57.900 --> 00:42:04.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to complement with the Coast Guard our presence in the 360-degree area, asr-000342 00:42:04.560 --> 00:42:13.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: but we have a big gap which we are starting to fill hopefully by the end of this year asr-000343 00:42:14.060 --> 00:42:18.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in our dockyards and our berthing facilities. asr-000344 00:42:19.080 --> 00:42:21.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Our naval bases, asr-000345 00:42:22.160 --> 00:42:24.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: our design, asr-000346 00:42:24.160 --> 00:42:28.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: except for a few, asr-000347 00:42:28.160 --> 00:42:30.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: very few, asr-000348 00:42:30.160 --> 00:42:32.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: are not deep nor big enough asr-000349 00:42:32.160 --> 00:42:36.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to support the type of operations that we will need. asr-000350 00:42:36.160 --> 00:42:40.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Thirdly, our Philippine Air Force continues. asr-000351 00:42:40.160 --> 00:42:49.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It's the sustainment of the systems already ordered asr-000352 00:42:49.060 --> 00:42:51.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and the upgrade of those systems. asr-000358 00:42:52.920 --> 00:43:00.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because we have to upgrade these systems while we try to segue, asr-000359 00:43:02.040 --> 00:43:03.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: or to not segue, asr-000360 00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:11.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to complement this with platforms that we can afford in the meantime, asr-000361 00:43:12.500 --> 00:43:16.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which provide a sufficient deterrence for us. asr-000362 00:43:19.100 --> 00:43:20.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The Philippine Marine Corps, asr-000363 00:43:20.680 --> 00:43:34.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We have a new commandant here, Brigadier General Apostol, who was tasked to scope the areas which need marine operations, asr-000364 00:43:34.820 --> 00:43:40.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: knowing very well that the Philippine Marine Corps is a maneuver corps. asr-000365 00:43:40.640 --> 00:43:42.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It is not a territorial corps. asr-000366 00:43:42.600 --> 00:43:57.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And with three marine brigades and one support brigade, no, four infantry brigades and one support brigade for 7,600 islands, asr-000367 00:43:57.540 --> 00:44:02.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I think just the math alone shows that it is too small. asr-000368 00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:12.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Secondly, the Air Force or the Navy or them must ensure their mobility and must ensure their firepower. asr-000369 00:44:12.600 --> 00:44:17.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because a fixed marine unit is not a marine unit. asr-000370 00:44:18.460 --> 00:44:24.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Its essence is its deployability and mobility. asr-000371 00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:35.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, Brigadier General Apostol, once he is confirmed, Your Honors, hopefully soon, asr-000372 00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:41.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: will devote his time to the... asr-000373 00:44:42.600 --> 00:44:47.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: ...growth plan of the Philippine Marine Corps that includes equipment. asr-000374 00:44:49.080 --> 00:44:52.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We have talked about the internal security dimension, asr-000375 00:44:53.940 --> 00:45:00.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: but a lot of operations right now have seen the connection between territorial... asr-000376 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:24.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: defense and internal security. That is in the front of illegal, FIMI and other illegal activities by undesirable state adversaries that have been proliferating, as the Senate President knows, in our space. asr-000377 00:45:24.780 --> 00:45:54.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Which serve to weaken economic resilience, connectivity, and basic infrastructure, and perhaps other forms of malign activity, which we continued in coordination with other, with the law enforcement agencies to disrupt and to discuss. asr-000378 00:45:54.780 --> 00:46:12.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I think that is a major issue right now on internal security of which we devote a lot of cooperative time with the lead agencies, namely the PAO, the NBI. asr-000379 00:46:15.720 --> 00:46:20.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: In HADR, of course, it is a constant threat. asr-000380 00:46:20.580 --> 00:46:24.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: However, we have refined our deliverables now. asr-000381 00:46:24.780 --> 00:46:29.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: To a coordinated response as quick as possible. asr-000382 00:46:29.980 --> 00:46:40.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we concentrate on that in the OCD so that we do not lose focus on what people need immediately. asr-000383 00:46:41.160 --> 00:46:50.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because feeling that need alone for those who may be displaced is already a very, very tall task. asr-000384 00:46:50.160 --> 00:46:54.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And to exceed that will eat into the competence. asr-000385 00:46:54.780 --> 00:47:06.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Of the other agencies, which should be doing resilience and other foundational efforts. asr-000386 00:47:06.500 --> 00:47:23.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So we try to balance the need to focus, the need to coordinate with the ability also to coordinate international cooperation. asr-000387 00:47:24.780 --> 00:47:30.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For collective resilience on the veteran side. asr-000388 00:47:31.620 --> 00:47:34.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We continue to innovate. asr-000389 00:47:35.740 --> 00:47:49.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Services to our veterans, which not only will be in terms of payment, but in terms of giving them. asr-000390 00:47:49.240 --> 00:47:52.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Wellness and dignity. asr-000391 00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:54.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So that they can continue. asr-000392 00:47:54.780 --> 00:48:01.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: To continue their lives after they have served in a manner which fits their service. asr-000393 00:48:01.780 --> 00:48:23.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The Veterans Memorial Medical Center, as we said, your honors, now has what we call the Valor Clinics to disaggregate basic medical services throughout the country. asr-000394 00:48:23.060 --> 00:48:24.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So that the veterans. asr-000395 00:48:24.780 --> 00:48:29.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Do not need to come to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center. asr-000396 00:48:30.160 --> 00:48:45.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: They have a scope that before the spread of the veteran services through the Valor Clinics, only 6% of the veterans were able to avail of medical treatment. asr-000397 00:48:46.460 --> 00:48:54.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we have reported to the president that the structure itself of the medical center is a cause for high infection rates. asr-000398 00:48:54.780 --> 00:48:58.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because of its age and because of its design. asr-000399 00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:23.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So it has to be turned down and rebuilt because it is it was made right after liberation, your honors, and it was a dormitory type of hospital, just like the case on Institute before and with today's day and age with the with the strength of viruses that and bacteria. asr-000400 00:49:23.300 --> 00:49:24.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: That have. asr-000401 00:49:24.780 --> 00:49:54.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Mutated over time, we cannot tolerate a structure of that kind, therefore, I believe the president has approved phase one where we will be constructing an annex where we transfer the patients while the major reconstruction work is done and there will be a big outpatient service. asr-000402 00:49:54.260 --> 00:49:54.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: To. asr-000403 00:49:54.780 --> 00:50:23.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Collocate with the subway exit that is being constructed for the convenience of veterans and the end goal is for it to become a specialized hospital where the outreach clinics cannot handle anymore likewise to be a specialized hospital for cases where the AFP Medical Center cannot handle the case anymore. asr-000404 00:50:24.780 --> 00:50:30.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We have instructed them. asr-000405 00:50:30.520 --> 00:50:33.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: To. asr-000406 00:50:33.420 --> 00:50:44.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Free focus their efforts on higher technological munitions and other implements. asr-000407 00:50:46.080 --> 00:50:54.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For so long, the government arsenal has not operated as an arsenal, but as a factory. asr-000408 00:50:54.780 --> 00:51:19.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And it and and we cannot have it continue that way because at the end of the day, higher technological transfer will only happen on a government to government secret basis with our preferred like minded partners and. asr-000409 00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:24.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The government arsenal will be the. asr-000410 00:51:24.780 --> 00:51:35.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Foundation for these venues of joint cooperation on highly potentially. asr-000411 00:51:35.180 --> 00:51:42.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Highly highly confidential platforms and mechanisms and the evolution of the same. asr-000412 00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:51.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So their their concentration on small arms munition ammunition shall shift. asr-000413 00:51:51.960 --> 00:51:53.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: To. asr-000414 00:51:53.160 --> 00:51:54.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Indirect. asr-000415 00:51:54.060 --> 00:51:54.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Fired. asr-000416 00:51:54.520 --> 00:52:01.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Weapons cruiser weaponry, which are in demand throughout the world and as a. asr-000417 00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:09.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Forum for government to government cooperation with our like minded and. asr-000418 00:52:09.780 --> 00:52:15.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Shall we say comprehensive strategic partner countries? asr-000419 00:52:15.560 --> 00:52:18.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I gave a brief backdrop. asr-000420 00:52:18.280 --> 00:52:19.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your honor. asr-000421 00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:21.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C.

Teodoro Jr.: Of the agency. asr-000428 00:52:27.900 --> 00:52:35.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Of course, as the Senate very well knows, we're also very busy in building up our like minded alliances and we thank the Senate. asr-000429 00:52:35.820 --> 00:52:43.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For recently ratifying our status of visiting forces agreement with France. asr-000430 00:52:43.420 --> 00:52:51.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And I believe there are two more under negotiation to this day with like minded partners and asr-000431 00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:52.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we await the. asr-000432 00:52:52.520 --> 00:52:53.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Culminate. asr-000433 00:52:53.520 --> 00:52:54.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Shot of the. asr-000434 00:52:54.520 --> 00:52:56.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: those processes so we can asr-000435 00:52:56.160 --> 00:52:58.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C.

Teodoro Jr.: greater synergy with them as soon as asr-000437 00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:00.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: possible. asr-000438 00:53:02.500 --> 00:53:04.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: With that, Your Honors, I will asr-000439 00:53:04.460 --> 00:53:06.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: move to the highlights of asr-000440 00:53:06.420 --> 00:53:07.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the proposed asr-000441 00:53:07.140 --> 00:53:10.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C.

Teodoro Jr.: from asr-000456 00:53:45.120 --> 00:53:47.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: come on the later slides, but asr-000457 00:53:47.500 --> 00:53:49.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: year-on-year is based on asr-000458 00:53:49.460 --> 00:53:51.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: fiscal year asr-000459 00:53:51.120 --> 00:53:51.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 2020. asr-000460 00:53:53.500 --> 00:53:59.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 2021, that is the base year. asr-000461 00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:01.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C.

Okay na yan. asr-000489 00:55:00.520 --> 00:55:18.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Alright. The Office of the Secretary, which is the whole DND, has 0.49 share percent and it was reduced by 31 percent from year 2021, asr-000490 00:55:18.960 --> 00:55:24.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which means to say we have to work more and hire less for less. asr-000491 00:55:25.680 --> 00:55:36.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: To date, Your Honor, the DND proper has a fill-up of only 268 warm bodies to include myself. asr-000492 00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:44.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we have to handle all of these systems. So, it is unsustainable in the long run. asr-000493 00:55:44.380 --> 00:55:48.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we have already pending in the House, DND rego-organization. asr-000494 00:55:48.960 --> 00:55:58.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Rego-organization bill, which, I mean, for 260 fill-up, 324 approved plantilla personnel. asr-000495 00:55:59.600 --> 00:56:03.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: That's way, way too small for the amount of work that we do. asr-000496 00:56:04.540 --> 00:56:09.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Hence, my shiny forehead, which progresses, Your Honor. asr-000497 00:56:10.920 --> 00:56:17.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For the Armed Forces of the Philippines, it has 312 billion, Your Honor, 313. asr-000498 00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:22.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Which is 96 percent of the budget. asr-000499 00:56:24.260 --> 00:56:35.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For the civilian bureaus, Your Honor, it has a 3 percent share in the national expenditure plan. asr-000500 00:56:37.580 --> 00:56:38.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide, please. asr-000501 00:56:41.600 --> 00:56:43.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The breakdown, Your Honor, asr-000502 00:56:44.080 --> 00:56:47.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: shows that the DND, asr-000503 00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:50.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the DND proper received a decrease. asr-000504 00:56:50.860 --> 00:56:53.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The government arsenal decreased. asr-000505 00:56:55.100 --> 00:56:56.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: NDCP decreased. asr-000506 00:56:59.000 --> 00:57:00.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: OCD decreased. asr-000507 00:57:01.140 --> 00:57:03.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And PBAO decreased, Your Honor. asr-000508 00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:09.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I believe these also require some examination. asr-000509 00:57:09.520 --> 00:57:10.660 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Excuse me, Secretary Guibok. asr-000510 00:57:10.660 --> 00:57:11.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, Your Honor. asr-000511 00:57:11.540 --> 00:57:14.340 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: I ask permission to interject. asr-000512 00:57:14.620 --> 00:57:14.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Apo. asr-000513 00:57:14.860 --> 00:57:18.140 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Kasi wala ba kayo updated na briefing? asr-000514 00:57:18.380 --> 00:57:18.920 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Kasi asr-000515 00:57:18.960 --> 00:57:23.660 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: I understand the House has already augmented. Hindi na ito 324. asr-000516 00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:27.720 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Yung house version, it's already at 329. asr-000517 00:57:27.720 --> 00:57:29.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We have not received, Sir. asr-000518 00:57:29.860 --> 00:57:31.700 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Ah, wala pa kayong kopya ng gabi. asr-000519 00:57:31.880 --> 00:57:33.020 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Anyway, sige, please continue. asr-000520 00:57:33.460 --> 00:57:35.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Wala pa po kaming official sa house. asr-000521 00:57:37.200 --> 00:57:38.880 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Manghingi kayo siya, Chairman, meron na kami. asr-000522 00:57:39.780 --> 00:57:40.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Opo. asr-000523 00:57:40.600 --> 00:57:40.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Opo. asr-000524 00:57:41.140 --> 00:57:42.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Para mapasalamatan din po namin. asr-000525 00:57:43.220 --> 00:57:46.840 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Para na ma-update kasi out of date na rin yung 324. asr-000526 00:57:47.340 --> 00:57:47.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, Sir. asr-000527 00:57:47.700 --> 00:57:48.740 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Thank you. asr-000528 00:57:48.960 --> 00:57:50.280 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Sorry for interjecting. asr-000529 00:57:50.780 --> 00:57:58.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kasi po, Sir, pag hindi na, di ba, we cannot present the house version hanggat hindi nyo ma-aprubahan kasi ano eh. asr-000530 00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:02.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pero that's good news, Sir. asr-000531 00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:03.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Thank you very much for the good news. asr-000532 00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:12.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, Sir, may I proceed to the next slide already? asr-000533 00:58:16.180 --> 00:58:17.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide already. asr-000534 00:58:18.960 --> 00:58:25.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The automatic appropriations, the regular fund, Sir, is 324.63. asr-000535 00:58:26.540 --> 00:58:33.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The automatic appropriations for personnel is 4.1 billion. asr-000536 00:58:33.700 --> 00:58:44.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And the special purpose fund, which is composed of the pensions, is 132 billion. asr-000537 00:58:48.960 --> 00:58:54.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The modernization program is included here with 50 billion. asr-000538 00:58:57.380 --> 00:58:58.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: On the next slide. asr-000539 00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:08.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Personal services. asr-000540 00:59:08.660 --> 00:59:17.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We have a slight increase of 179 in line with our... asr-000541 00:59:18.960 --> 00:59:21.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: ...goal to increase our footprint. asr-000542 00:59:24.700 --> 00:59:33.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: On MOU, Sir, which is quite important for us because of the tempo of operations right now, asr-000543 00:59:34.200 --> 00:59:41.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I can say, Your Honors, that our tempo now is beyond 100%. asr-000544 00:59:41.700 --> 00:59:48.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Meaning to say, it's beyond design because of the number of asr-000548 00:59:48.500 --> 00:59:53.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: personnel we have to sustain the number of activities we do. asr-000549 00:59:54.920 --> 00:59:59.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: That takes into account internal security, HADR... asr-000550 01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and for joint exercises, retraining. asr-000551 01:00:03.220 --> 01:00:14.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: What suffers here is the amount of rest and retraining time that our men and women have. asr-000552 01:00:15.800 --> 01:00:27.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Right now, we do not have enough forces, both on the operational side to have adequate R&R for them. asr-000553 01:00:27.500 --> 01:00:32.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And secondly, we lack personnel on the support side. asr-000554 01:00:33.400 --> 01:00:41.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The ratio of operating to support personnel is 80-20, more or less, which is unsustainable asr-000555 01:00:41.680 --> 01:00:53.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because logistics, intelligence, planning, we need a robust infrastructure in order to sustain the operations. asr-000556 01:00:57.500 --> 01:01:08.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, the MOOE increase is much, much welcome, particularly, Your Honor, with the cost of fuel right now. asr-000557 01:01:08.360 --> 01:01:15.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Last year, it is good that we were able to hedge the cost of fuel and assume that they would rise. asr-000558 01:01:16.440 --> 01:01:23.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, this year, the increase is relevant. asr-000559 01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:27.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: With capital outlay... asr-000560 01:01:27.500 --> 01:01:31.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: With capital outlay, this is where our biggest gap is. asr-000561 01:01:32.080 --> 01:01:37.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We need a lot of infrastructure right now, particularly, Your Honors, on the eastern seaboard, asr-000562 01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:42.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: where we do not have naval presence. asr-000563 01:01:42.600 --> 01:01:55.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We do not have substantial infrastructure also in Palawan, not for the naval purposes, but for the army purposes, asr-000564 01:01:55.420 --> 01:01:57.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which will serve... asr-000565 01:01:57.500 --> 01:02:01.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which will serve as hubs for supporting our strategic bases. asr-000566 01:02:01.720 --> 01:02:02.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Mindoro. asr-000567 01:02:03.260 --> 01:02:08.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Our presence, too, in Mindoro is only one brigade. asr-000568 01:02:09.420 --> 01:02:16.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And with the size of Mindoro, Your Honor, that is not sufficient. asr-000569 01:02:16.820 --> 01:02:21.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: In northern Luzon, we have only one division for how many provinces? asr-000570 01:02:21.940 --> 01:02:25.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we only have one naval force. asr-000571 01:02:26.680 --> 01:02:27.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: In that... asr-000572 01:02:27.500 --> 01:02:31.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: In that area, which spans the South China Sea to the Pacific Ocean. asr-000573 01:02:32.880 --> 01:02:41.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, we really need to refocus our strategic positioning in these areas, Your Honor. asr-000574 01:02:41.560 --> 01:02:43.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we cannot do that until... asr-000575 01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:50.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: sustainably, until the army solidifies its footprint in the Philippines. asr-000576 01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:56.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, capital outlay, Your Honor, is extremely important. asr-000577 01:02:57.500 --> 01:03:07.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Also, for building critical infrastructure facilities for security of our platforms and security of our operations. asr-000578 01:03:07.360 --> 01:03:22.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I believe the capital outlay gap has been one of the major gaps that we have found out right now we have to catch up badly with. asr-000579 01:03:23.020 --> 01:03:27.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And it includes also access to our bases. asr-000580 01:03:27.500 --> 01:03:33.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: In terms of the durability of the infrastructure. asr-000581 01:03:33.720 --> 01:03:37.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For example, the roads and bridges that will link our bases. asr-000582 01:03:37.860 --> 01:03:46.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We have found that normal roads and bridges will not be able to support some of the platforms that we have currently because of the weight. asr-000583 01:03:48.340 --> 01:03:51.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, our mobility is a sacrifice. asr-000584 01:03:53.040 --> 01:03:56.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We cannot really bridge the whole of the Philippines. asr-000585 01:03:56.500 --> 01:03:56.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes. asr-000586 01:03:57.500 --> 01:04:10.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, the best that we can do is to provide hubs, as many hubs as possible, which will support sustained operations. asr-000587 01:04:11.120 --> 01:04:20.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Secondly, Your Honor, just like any other entity in the world right now, it's not a matter of just in time, but a matter of reserves and stores. asr-000588 01:04:21.160 --> 01:04:26.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And that we are busy building up our reserve and stores. asr-000589 01:04:26.480 --> 01:04:26.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Not only in... asr-000590 01:04:27.500 --> 01:04:35.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: In terms of munitions, but we need it also in terms of petroleum, oil, and lubricants. asr-000591 01:04:35.040 --> 01:04:57.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We have big notional amounts of petroleum ready, but if we do not have physical custody of this, we will be relying on private gas stations to serve our needs, which is a vulnerability of our operating troops. asr-000593 01:04:57.580 --> 01:05:11.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And it poses difficulties for the troops rather than have them serviced in a durable basis, perhaps up to the battalion level. asr-000594 01:05:15.120 --> 01:05:16.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide, please. asr-000596 01:05:21.580 --> 01:05:26.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The breakdown of regular fund versus... asr-000597 01:05:27.500 --> 01:05:33.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The 2026 and 2027 comparatives, Your Honor. asr-000598 01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:47.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, we have a slight increase of 6.13% versus last year of 18 billion. asr-000599 01:05:49.540 --> 01:05:56.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But I believe the increase is reflected more in MOOE. asr-000600 01:05:57.500 --> 01:06:01.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Than any other item. asr-000601 01:06:01.760 --> 01:06:02.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide, please. asr-000602 01:06:10.380 --> 01:06:12.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Modernization, Your Honor. asr-000603 01:06:12.960 --> 01:06:20.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 2026 was 90 with the programmed of 40 and unprogrammed of 50. asr-000604 01:06:21.260 --> 01:06:24.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: This year, 50-50. asr-000605 01:06:24.080 --> 01:06:24.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Thank you. asr-000606 01:06:26.640 --> 01:06:27.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pensions. asr-000607 01:06:27.500 --> 01:06:34.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pensions have increased by 13.15%. asr-000608 01:06:34.540 --> 01:06:40.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Total. asr-000609 01:06:42.520 --> 01:06:44.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide. asr-000610 01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:53.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For proposals, Your Honor. asr-000611 01:06:53.640 --> 01:06:53.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your Honor. asr-000612 01:06:55.360 --> 01:06:56.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Our proposals are... asr-000613 01:06:57.500 --> 01:07:07.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Based on our approximation of threats and costs and sustainability of activities as we plan them based on threats. asr-000614 01:07:10.380 --> 01:07:21.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It's lower by 248 billion compared to the original proposal we made. asr-000615 01:07:21.980 --> 01:07:26.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But this does not include one-time enhancements of... asr-000616 01:07:27.500 --> 01:07:34.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But this does not include one-time enhancements of equipment and capabilities which will balloon the figure to very very high amounts. asr-000617 01:07:34.140 --> 01:07:38.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, we just included our basic requirements, Your Honor. asr-000618 01:07:44.540 --> 01:07:47.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide, please. asr-000619 01:07:50.460 --> 01:07:53.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Our breakdown shows as follows, Your Honor. asr-000620 01:07:53.780 --> 01:07:55.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Of course, from the Office of the Secretary... asr-000621 01:07:57.500 --> 01:08:02.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Secretary, it's less 16% from what was asked. asr-000622 01:08:02.780 --> 01:08:07.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: From the Army, it's less by 23%. asr-000623 01:08:07.720 --> 01:08:10.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Air Force, 24%. asr-000624 01:08:10.520 --> 01:08:12.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Navy, 30%. asr-000625 01:08:12.400 --> 01:08:15.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And GHQ, 82%. asr-000626 01:08:15.260 --> 01:08:16.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And why GHQ? asr-000627 01:08:18.080 --> 01:08:21.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: GHQ, Your Honor, includes the area commands, asr-000628 01:08:21.700 --> 01:08:24.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which are the principal operating commands. asr-000629 01:08:24.400 --> 01:08:26.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: There are five area commands. asr-000630 01:08:27.500 --> 01:08:32.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And the budget of the area commands come from the GHQ. asr-000631 01:08:32.880 --> 01:08:36.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Our intelligence command, our sustainment command, asr-000632 01:08:36.240 --> 01:08:38.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and importantly, our strategic command, asr-000633 01:08:38.940 --> 01:08:43.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: from which our deterrent capabilities will flow, asr-000634 01:08:44.420 --> 01:08:47.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: are sourced from the GHQ budget. asr-000635 01:08:48.140 --> 01:08:53.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So this does not mean to say that it is GHQ itself. asr-000636 01:08:53.060 --> 01:08:57.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But the budgets of... asr-000637 01:08:57.500 --> 01:09:02.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: NOLCOM, SOLCOM, WESCOM, BISCOM, asr-000638 01:09:03.260 --> 01:09:06.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: EASTMINCOM, and WESTMINCOM. asr-000639 01:09:07.180 --> 01:09:12.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: These are the operating budgets that come out of the GHQ budget. asr-000640 01:09:13.420 --> 01:09:16.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So the reduction in GHQ asr-000641 01:09:16.440 --> 01:09:23.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: will result in a gap of operations asr-000642 01:09:23.700 --> 01:09:26.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: by the area commands, asr-000643 01:09:26.180 --> 01:09:27.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which are the principal operations, asr-000644 01:09:27.500 --> 01:09:28.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: operating commands. asr-000645 01:09:29.160 --> 01:09:31.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And therefore, if that is the case, asr-000646 01:09:32.680 --> 01:09:35.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: then we will have to concentrate the budget asr-000647 01:09:35.300 --> 01:09:39.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: on the areas where there is a biggest threat possible. asr-000648 01:09:39.980 --> 01:09:43.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And that will open us to gaps in the other areas. asr-000649 01:09:47.640 --> 01:09:49.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: In the government arsenal, asr-000650 01:09:50.520 --> 01:09:54.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: there's a reduction of 11%. asr-000651 01:09:54.340 --> 01:09:54.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pag muna. asr-000652 01:09:56.180 --> 01:09:57.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: NDCP, asr-000653 01:09:57.500 --> 01:09:58.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 6%. asr-000654 01:09:58.420 --> 01:10:00.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Office of Civil Defense, asr-000655 01:10:00.680 --> 01:10:01.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 53%. asr-000656 01:10:01.820 --> 01:10:05.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Philippine Veterans Affairs Office, asr-000657 01:10:05.580 --> 01:10:06.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 23%. asr-000658 01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:07.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And Veterans Memorial, asr-000659 01:10:08.880 --> 01:10:11.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it's 61%. asr-000660 01:10:11.020 --> 01:10:14.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But this does not reflect the asr-000661 01:10:14.080 --> 01:10:20.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: infrastructure that is going to be sourced asr-000662 01:10:20.640 --> 01:10:21.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: from the Office of the President. asr-000663 01:10:23.300 --> 01:10:25.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And for these agencies, asr-000664 01:10:26.200 --> 01:10:27.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: they have one-time items. asr-000665 01:10:27.500 --> 01:10:31.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Which for 2025, asr-000666 01:10:31.820 --> 01:10:34.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which increase their budgets, asr-000667 01:10:34.540 --> 01:10:35.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: thus the reductions, asr-000668 01:10:35.940 --> 01:10:36.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your Honor. asr-000669 01:10:36.640 --> 01:10:39.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And with the Veterans Memorial Medical Center, asr-000670 01:10:39.980 --> 01:10:42.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: they have trust receipts from the DOTR asr-000671 01:10:42.180 --> 01:10:44.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because of the subway. asr-000672 01:10:50.920 --> 01:10:53.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The AFP modernization, asr-000673 01:10:53.260 --> 01:10:53.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your Honor, asr-000674 01:10:53.820 --> 01:10:55.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the proposal was 133. asr-000676 01:10:57.500 --> 01:11:07.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Based on the re-Horizon 3 of the modernization program, asr-000677 01:11:09.260 --> 01:11:11.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which has already, asr-000678 01:11:11.700 --> 01:11:14.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it's in the process of being revised again asr-000679 01:11:14.080 --> 01:11:18.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because of increased threats and increased costs. asr-000680 01:11:19.220 --> 01:11:23.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So we once again will appeal, asr-000681 01:11:23.100 --> 01:11:25.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and I think it's pending on the House asr-000682 01:11:25.260 --> 01:11:27.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to already abolish the modernization, asr-000683 01:11:27.500 --> 01:11:28.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: modernization law. asr-000684 01:11:28.620 --> 01:11:31.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because we cannot work on 15-year horizons, asr-000685 01:11:31.800 --> 01:11:32.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your Honor, asr-000686 01:11:32.300 --> 01:11:35.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which the modernization law provides. asr-000687 01:11:36.460 --> 01:11:40.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It is not a sustainable way asr-000688 01:11:40.560 --> 01:11:45.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: of planning your modernization anymore. asr-000689 01:11:46.100 --> 01:11:46.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: In a more, asr-000690 01:11:48.380 --> 01:11:50.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: for lack of a better term, asr-000691 01:11:50.420 --> 01:11:52.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: but to use an economic term, asr-000692 01:11:52.420 --> 01:11:57.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: an opportunistic defense market. asr-000693 01:11:57.500 --> 01:12:00.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It is a responsible protected environment. asr-000694 01:12:00.120 --> 01:12:03.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We propose, Your Honor, asr-000695 01:12:03.360 --> 01:12:04.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 134 billion, asr-000696 01:12:05.140 --> 01:12:07.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: but only 50 billion was included. asr-000697 01:12:08.160 --> 01:12:10.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I think the 50 billion, asr-000698 01:12:10.220 --> 01:12:10.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your Honor, asr-000699 01:12:10.580 --> 01:12:16.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: there is a sort of attachment asr-000700 01:12:16.880 --> 01:12:20.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to the 50 billion amount asr-000701 01:12:20.100 --> 01:12:23.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: for the past how many years already? asr-000702 01:12:24.460 --> 01:12:27.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And it was also due to the alignment, asr-000703 01:12:27.500 --> 01:12:38.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: perhaps of the revised AFP modernization to the basis conversion law and dividends from that. asr-000704 01:12:38.620 --> 01:12:49.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But we know that the basis conversion BCDA has only remitted a total of 26 billion pesos asr-000705 01:12:49.440 --> 01:12:57.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to the AFP for the past, no, I'm sorry, 45 billion for the past 26 years. asr-000706 01:12:58.280 --> 01:13:02.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So it is not a sustainable way of going forward. asr-000707 01:13:02.600 --> 01:13:09.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And yet it has taken away from us assets which cannot be replicated asr-000708 01:13:09.080 --> 01:13:13.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because of their strategic location and strategic makeup. asr-000709 01:13:14.360 --> 01:13:18.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So I believe that the, asr-000710 01:13:19.440 --> 01:13:27.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the situation cannot be allowed to continue that more military reservations asr-000711 01:13:27.160 --> 01:13:38.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which have to be devoted to national defense are thought of as commercial endeavors. asr-000712 01:13:39.380 --> 01:13:47.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because at the end of the day, it will not fund your modernization in any significant way at all. asr-000713 01:13:48.300 --> 01:13:49.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: As history has... asr-000714 01:13:49.440 --> 01:13:49.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: As history has proven. asr-000715 01:13:54.340 --> 01:14:03.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So there are relatively few changes, Your Honor, for the rest of the items. asr-000716 01:14:04.840 --> 01:14:05.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide. asr-000717 01:14:08.440 --> 01:14:15.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For the physical accomplishments, Your Honor, we accomplished 100 percent. asr-000718 01:14:16.080 --> 01:14:17.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide, please. asr-000719 01:14:18.300 --> 01:14:19.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Of... asr-000720 01:14:19.440 --> 01:14:23.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: of D&D OSEC policies. asr-000721 01:14:24.500 --> 01:14:25.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And I... asr-000722 01:14:26.040 --> 01:14:34.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I also have to beg the indulgence of everybody here under our department asr-000723 01:14:34.460 --> 01:14:37.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because any new policy causes a headache to them asr-000724 01:14:37.720 --> 01:14:42.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and they would wish that I would not be churning out more and more policies anymore. asr-000725 01:14:44.120 --> 01:14:44.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Sorry. asr-000727 01:14:46.420 --> 01:14:49.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So 80 percent of those policies... asr-000728 01:14:49.440 --> 01:14:54.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 80 percent of those policies and strategies were accepted by the President and the Cabinet, Your Honor. asr-000729 01:14:58.360 --> 01:14:59.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide, please. asr-000730 01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:10.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For the AFP, 81% of the tactical units provided force employers. asr-000731 01:15:14.300 --> 01:15:22.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For the Philippine Army, Philippine Air Force 100%, and for the Philippine Navy, 100%, Your Honor. asr-000732 01:15:22.140 --> 01:15:46.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: However, I would like to point out that in the case of the Air Force and the Navy, the 100% is not a figure that, of course, for this year and last year, we should be very proud of, but we should be worried if it continues in the future because 100% is unsustainable. asr-000733 01:15:46.140 --> 01:15:51.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: That means to say, we are already at max capacity, if not less. asr-000734 01:15:52.140 --> 01:16:07.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, that means to say that the capacity of the agencies are not enough to sustain the needs of the environment, Your Honor, that we work in. asr-000735 01:16:12.780 --> 01:16:14.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Continue, please. asr-000736 01:16:16.040 --> 01:16:17.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide, please. asr-000737 01:16:17.560 --> 01:16:21.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: On the Joint Force Planning Program. asr-000738 01:16:22.140 --> 01:16:35.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your Honor, 234 plans and programs were accomplished, and for the first semester of this year, there were 117 already accomplished. asr-000739 01:16:35.920 --> 01:16:51.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Most of these, Your Honor, are for joint and combined anticipative actions, training exercises, scenario building, and scoping exercises. asr-000740 01:16:52.140 --> 01:17:07.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: On operations, Your Honor, the Joint Force Operations Program for operations, 159 were complied with last year out of 182. asr-000741 01:17:07.980 --> 01:17:20.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And most of these plans were not, the unfulfilled portion was due to natural calamities. asr-000742 01:17:20.980 --> 01:17:21.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Natural calamities. asr-000743 01:17:22.140 --> 01:17:33.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: That would, of course, necessitate the diversion of the resources to humanitarian assistance and disaster response. asr-000744 01:17:36.340 --> 01:17:43.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: This year, Your Honor, we have already completed 54% of our targets as of the first semester. asr-000745 01:17:44.380 --> 01:17:48.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: However, at the end of the year, we expect to complete 100%. asr-000746 01:17:50.200 --> 01:17:50.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Okay. asr-000747 01:17:52.140 --> 01:18:13.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For security operations, of course, Your Honor, in connection with and in cooperation with our civilian law enforcement agencies, there are about 5,900 activities that were covered last year and this year, 3,000, the most important of which are the ASEAN series of engagements. asr-000748 01:18:13.220 --> 01:18:28.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For capability programs, Your Honor, the patients treated by the AFP Medical Center and other station hospitals were 12,000. asr-000749 01:18:29.100 --> 01:18:42.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Accomplishment was 11,000 as of 2025 with 12,000 targets while this year, Your Honor, asr-000750 01:18:42.260 --> 01:18:43.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the asr-000751 01:18:43.220 --> 01:18:51.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: since there was a gap last year, we reduced the target level to 10,000. asr-000752 01:18:52.340 --> 01:18:58.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We have already had an accomplishment of more than 50%. asr-000753 01:18:58.200 --> 01:19:12.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Ten signed AFP modernization projects are being implemented, so we have 60%, six have already been accomplished for this year. asr-000754 01:19:12.260 --> 01:19:13.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Last year, asr-000755 01:19:13.220 --> 01:19:27.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: last year, there were 10 targets, Your Honor, we accomplished 17 because of the previous year's unfulfilled targets. asr-000756 01:19:29.540 --> 01:19:32.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide, please. asr-000757 01:19:34.340 --> 01:19:35.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Matumal yung atin. asr-000758 01:19:38.500 --> 01:19:39.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Natutulog yung atin. asr-000759 01:19:39.800 --> 01:19:40.940 DND Assistant Secretary Romeo N. Dela Cruz: Actually, asr-000760 01:19:41.180 --> 01:19:41.800 DND Assistant Secretary Romeo N. Dela Cruz: I want to... asr-000761 01:19:42.340 --> 01:19:42.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I... asr-000762 01:19:43.220 --> 01:19:44.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Naghang pala yung iyo. asr-000763 01:19:44.540 --> 01:19:45.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Hindi ko mabasa yun. asr-000764 01:19:47.620 --> 01:19:48.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Naghang yung iyo. asr-000765 01:19:50.380 --> 01:19:51.840 DND Assistant Secretary Romeo N. Dela Cruz: Yes, sir. asr-000766 01:19:55.840 --> 01:20:01.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For the government arsenal, Your Honor, 98% is the target this year. asr-000767 01:20:03.120 --> 01:20:10.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Last year, we accomplished only 63% of the target because of the unavailability of propellants, asr-000768 01:20:10.220 --> 01:20:12.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the shortage of propellants, asr-000769 01:20:12.380 --> 01:20:16.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and other critical components in the international market. asr-000770 01:20:17.460 --> 01:20:22.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The situation, Your Honor, in the international market now, it is a seller's market. asr-000771 01:20:22.260 --> 01:20:41.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And even though you have fixed contracts, they will willingly pay the liquidated damages and other punitive amounts because of the amounts being offered by other users. asr-000772 01:20:41.700 --> 01:20:46.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Given the several conflicts that are occurring now, both in the Middle East and in Ukraine. asr-000773 01:20:50.040 --> 01:21:02.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Defense and security leaders capacity, Your Honor, 100% of our research papers have been accepted in the same target this year. asr-000774 01:21:02.620 --> 01:21:11.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 33% of 53 senior leaders. asr-000775 01:21:11.700 --> 01:21:15.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: This is from the DND and AAP. asr-000776 01:21:15.860 --> 01:21:17.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And may I correct this too? asr-000777 01:21:17.460 --> 01:21:18.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It's not only senior leaders. asr-000778 01:21:20.140 --> 01:21:29.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Well, we can say senior leaders too because we opened up the MNSA program to enlisted personnel on the NCO level asr-000779 01:21:29.380 --> 01:21:38.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because their leadership and their critical skills and critical knowledge is just as important as our officer corps. asr-000780 01:21:41.700 --> 01:21:48.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And, Your Honor, there is a growth challenge with the NDCP now asr-000781 01:21:48.260 --> 01:21:59.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because we are in the process of reshaping the curriculum. asr-000782 01:22:00.200 --> 01:22:04.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Knowing fully well that the national security is multidimensional. asr-000783 01:22:05.860 --> 01:22:11.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, a fixed paradigm of national security as an academic. asr-000784 01:22:11.700 --> 01:22:13.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And therefore, will not help. asr-000785 01:22:15.260 --> 01:22:27.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Therefore, we continue with faculty development, advancing coordination and cooperation with other high-level research agencies, security agencies. asr-000786 01:22:28.640 --> 01:22:34.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Probably, the national security paradigm before worked in an internal security environment. asr-000787 01:22:34.700 --> 01:22:41.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But nowadays, with the different dimensions of conflict. asr-000788 01:22:41.700 --> 01:22:47.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: To include cyber conflict and cognitive warfare and who knows what will happen in the future. asr-000789 01:22:47.500 --> 01:22:50.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It is not anticipative enough. asr-000790 01:22:51.160 --> 01:22:56.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The academic output of the NDCP. asr-000791 01:22:59.200 --> 01:23:03.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The teacher to student ratio is still 1 is to 10. asr-000792 01:23:03.340 --> 01:23:08.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But I still want to know the research output of the institution. asr-000793 01:23:09.880 --> 01:23:11.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And that is what I keep on putting. asr-000794 01:23:11.700 --> 01:23:12.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And that is what I keep on pushing them to be doing. asr-000795 01:23:13.580 --> 01:23:23.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because if they do not publish, they do not produce peer-reviewed publications, asr-000796 01:23:24.560 --> 01:23:27.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: then we are not passing our job. asr-000797 01:23:28.720 --> 01:23:32.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We don't pass the test. asr-000798 01:23:34.520 --> 01:23:35.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, next slide. asr-000800 01:23:39.320 --> 01:23:41.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: On OCD, Your Honor. asr-000801 01:23:41.700 --> 01:23:55.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: As we said, that 65% of the, we are concentrating right now on response. asr-000802 01:23:57.180 --> 01:24:07.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we also had to change the view of the minimum required standards for local governments. asr-000803 01:24:07.260 --> 01:24:10.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For example, the Gawad Kalinga Awards. asr-000804 01:24:11.700 --> 01:24:17.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: They were even awarding before, awards for more than compliant. asr-000805 01:24:19.460 --> 01:24:26.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But how can you say you're more than compliant when disaster risk reduction is a continuing endeavor? asr-000806 01:24:26.500 --> 01:24:34.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And actually, how can you be more compliant with, for example, an earthquake scenario which nobody knows the outcome? asr-000807 01:24:36.320 --> 01:24:40.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, a more than compliant rating to me is impossible. asr-000808 01:24:40.520 --> 01:24:52.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, we abolished that standard and asked them to refocus on the ability to coordinate, asr-000809 01:24:53.400 --> 01:25:00.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to exercise leadership in coordination with the different departments and the local government units. asr-000810 01:25:01.980 --> 01:25:09.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, even the training for first responders, Your Honor, asr-000811 01:25:09.000 --> 01:25:10.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it should be on a classroom. asr-000812 01:25:10.000 --> 01:25:14.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It should be on a clustered basis as we see the disasters now. asr-000813 01:25:14.620 --> 01:25:21.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because the paradigm of first responder coming from the affected community, asr-000814 01:25:21.520 --> 01:25:25.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it does not hold water right now. asr-000815 01:25:25.680 --> 01:25:34.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because how can they respond when two or three municipalities are subject to stress at the same time? asr-000816 01:25:35.120 --> 01:25:38.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, it needs a different approach. asr-000817 01:25:38.000 --> 01:25:39.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And I give an example. asr-000818 01:25:40.000 --> 01:25:45.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For example, for the Ligtas Pinoy Act, where each town should have an evacuation center. asr-000819 01:25:46.580 --> 01:25:53.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We had a very difficult time right now identifying if that is feasible or not. asr-000820 01:25:53.680 --> 01:25:57.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Each town should have an evacuation center. asr-000821 01:25:58.520 --> 01:26:04.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But in an area, perhaps even outside the physical boundaries of that town, asr-000822 01:26:05.560 --> 01:26:08.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which can support the evacuees. asr-000823 01:26:10.000 --> 01:26:17.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, we had the first list of approved areas for the Ligtas Pinoy centers. asr-000824 01:26:17.040 --> 01:26:30.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But it will be a continuing challenge for us to identify suitable areas that can accept the quantity of evacuees asr-000825 01:26:30.280 --> 01:26:36.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: should a disaster affect one area. asr-000826 01:26:36.680 --> 01:26:39.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: An example would be in the Negros area. asr-000827 01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:41.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Ashfall, Your Honor. asr-000828 01:26:42.180 --> 01:26:45.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: About four or five municipalities were affected. asr-000829 01:26:46.000 --> 01:26:52.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But the only safe evacuation center would be in another distant municipality. asr-000830 01:26:52.940 --> 01:26:59.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The same area, the same situation with Bicol, when you have a six-kilometer exclusion zone. asr-000831 01:27:00.820 --> 01:27:05.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, that is a dimension which we are working with. asr-000832 01:27:05.920 --> 01:27:09.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we will also report the results to Congress. asr-000833 01:27:10.000 --> 01:27:13.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: To refine whatever modifications are needed, Your Honor. asr-000834 01:27:17.860 --> 01:27:23.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The rest of the accomplishments, Your Honor, we met 100% of the targets. asr-000835 01:27:27.320 --> 01:27:28.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide. asr-000836 01:27:30.820 --> 01:27:36.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For PIVAW, Your Honor, on the veterans' welfare and benefits. asr-000837 01:27:36.200 --> 01:27:37.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I'll take that, yeah. asr-000838 01:27:38.720 --> 01:27:39.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 100%. asr-000839 01:27:40.000 --> 01:27:46.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 100% of the target was accomplished because these are regular pensions. asr-000840 01:27:47.740 --> 01:27:53.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And it is only in the efficiency of the payment. asr-000841 01:27:53.040 --> 01:28:08.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: On the veterans' affairs management programs, asr-000842 01:28:10.000 --> 01:28:18.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: still, it is a question, Your Honor, of getting the number of bona fide accredited veterans asr-000843 01:28:18.340 --> 01:28:21.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: or their dependents. asr-000844 01:28:22.060 --> 01:28:30.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, 57% of the target was accomplished. asr-000845 01:28:31.060 --> 01:28:33.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: This is of particular importance, Your Honor, asr-000846 01:28:33.480 --> 01:28:37.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because of a recent phenomenon that, asr-000847 01:28:37.740 --> 01:28:42.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we worked with, with the U.S. government. asr-000848 01:28:43.280 --> 01:28:48.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The U.S. government recently gave a grant to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center asr-000849 01:28:48.020 --> 01:28:55.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because of the prevalence yet of, asr-000850 01:28:56.880 --> 01:28:58.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: no, the presence, not prevalence, asr-000851 01:28:58.560 --> 01:29:03.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the presence of tuberculosis among our veterans. asr-000852 01:29:04.080 --> 01:29:06.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We are able only to track, asr-000853 01:29:06.720 --> 01:29:08.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 600, asr-000854 01:29:09.540 --> 01:29:10.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: six per, asr-000855 01:29:10.440 --> 01:29:12.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: how many, asr-000856 01:29:13.420 --> 01:29:18.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: there is a gap of 2,000, I believe, asr-000857 01:29:18.920 --> 01:29:20.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: that we need to track. asr-000858 01:29:21.100 --> 01:29:24.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And this will only happen, Your Honor, asr-000859 01:29:24.720 --> 01:29:30.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: if the PIVAW is adequately tracking our veterans. asr-000860 01:29:31.520 --> 01:29:33.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, this PIVAW, asr-000861 01:29:34.180 --> 01:29:35.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: rather than have, asr-000862 01:29:36.720 --> 01:29:39.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: recognition, ceremonies, asr-000863 01:29:39.720 --> 01:29:41.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which are also important, asr-000864 01:29:41.820 --> 01:29:44.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: they need to go out in the field right now asr-000865 01:29:44.280 --> 01:29:46.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to scope the number of veterans asr-000866 01:29:46.020 --> 01:29:50.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and to bring them within the VMMC environment asr-000867 01:29:50.780 --> 01:29:55.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: so we can adequately track their wellness and their health care. asr-000868 01:29:56.660 --> 01:30:00.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And they have also been tasked to work with asr-000869 01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:01.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the VMMC to asr-000870 01:30:01.960 --> 01:30:04.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: build hospices, Your Honor, asr-000871 01:30:04.220 --> 01:30:06.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: where our veterans can asr-000872 01:30:06.020 --> 01:30:07.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: retire with dignity. asr-000873 01:30:08.000 --> 01:30:09.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: A lot of them, asr-000874 01:30:10.200 --> 01:30:11.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: as Senator asr-000875 01:30:11.620 --> 01:30:12.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Lacson knows, asr-000876 01:30:14.080 --> 01:30:15.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: have been asr-000877 01:30:15.680 --> 01:30:17.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: constrained asr-000878 01:30:17.340 --> 01:30:19.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to have an extended asr-000879 01:30:19.640 --> 01:30:21.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: period of stay in the hospitals, asr-000880 01:30:22.720 --> 01:30:23.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: although asr-000881 01:30:23.480 --> 01:30:25.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: they do not need medical asr-000882 01:30:25.580 --> 01:30:26.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: care, but they need asr-000883 01:30:26.960 --> 01:30:33.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: geriatric asr-000884 01:30:33.380 --> 01:30:35.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: care. Why? Because asr-000885 01:30:35.520 --> 01:30:37.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: they have no families and nobody to take asr-000886 01:30:37.620 --> 01:30:39.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: care of them. And asr-000887 01:30:39.440 --> 01:30:41.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it will be heartless for asr-000888 01:30:41.260 --> 01:30:43.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the doctors in the asr-000889 01:30:43.620 --> 01:30:45.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: VMMC to discharge asr-000890 01:30:45.420 --> 01:30:45.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: them. asr-000891 01:30:47.580 --> 01:30:48.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So the asr-000892 01:30:48.880 --> 01:30:51.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: PIVA was tasked to make this asr-000893 01:30:51.660 --> 01:30:52.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: a priority. asr-000894 01:30:53.800 --> 01:30:55.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We have also asr-000895 01:30:55.260 --> 01:30:56.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: seen asr-000896 01:30:56.720 --> 01:30:58.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and I have witnessed asr-000897 01:30:58.740 --> 01:31:01.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: personally retired asr-000898 01:31:01.440 --> 01:31:02.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: officers asr-000899 01:31:02.240 --> 01:31:05.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: who, because of asr-000900 01:31:05.140 --> 01:31:07.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the detachment from military asr-000901 01:31:07.140 --> 01:31:09.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: life, have asr-000902 01:31:09.180 --> 01:31:10.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: lost their asr-000903 01:31:10.380 --> 01:31:12.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: social circle. asr-000904 01:31:13.700 --> 01:31:15.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And a lot of them who asr-000905 01:31:15.120 --> 01:31:16.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: have been afflicted by asr-000906 01:31:16.440 --> 01:31:19.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: age-related diseases asr-000907 01:31:19.120 --> 01:31:21.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: withdraw and asr-000908 01:31:21.140 --> 01:31:21.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: become asr-000909 01:31:21.660 --> 01:31:24.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: you know asr-000910 01:31:24.340 --> 01:31:25.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: a asr-000911 01:31:26.720 --> 01:31:28.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: are affected and afflicted asr-000912 01:31:28.640 --> 01:31:29.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: with self-pity, asr-000913 01:31:30.600 --> 01:31:31.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: loss of morale. asr-000914 01:31:32.540 --> 01:31:33.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So they also need asr-000915 01:31:33.700 --> 01:31:36.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: their social asr-000916 01:31:36.240 --> 01:31:36.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C.

Teodoro Jr.: wellness intact. asr-000920 01:31:44.480 --> 01:31:46.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So this in asr-000921 01:31:46.140 --> 01:31:47.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: connection with the hospices asr-000922 01:31:47.760 --> 01:31:50.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: so that we can also support asr-000923 01:31:50.340 --> 01:31:51.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: them that asr-000924 01:31:51.700 --> 01:31:53.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in the asr-000925 01:31:53.940 --> 01:31:56.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: most vulnerable period of their asr-000926 01:31:56.300 --> 01:31:58.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: time when they need us asr-000927 01:31:58.300 --> 01:32:00.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: most, we can preserve their asr-000928 01:32:00.880 --> 01:32:02.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: dignity, your honor, just like asr-000929 01:32:02.340 --> 01:32:04.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: they do in Korea for that matter. asr-000930 01:32:08.560 --> 01:32:09.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide. asr-000931 01:32:12.340 --> 01:32:14.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So for veterans, your honor, asr-000932 01:32:14.720 --> 01:32:16.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the accomplishment asr-000933 01:32:16.880 --> 01:32:19.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: as you see is 9,000 patients asr-000934 01:32:19.000 --> 01:32:21.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: treated, but this is only 6% asr-000935 01:32:21.200 --> 01:32:22.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because it is in Manila. asr-000936 01:32:24.240 --> 01:32:26.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And the design now, asr-000937 01:32:26.300 --> 01:32:28.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: there is a veterans health service asr-000938 01:32:28.260 --> 01:32:29.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: that's being asr-000939 01:32:29.140 --> 01:32:32.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: before it was asr-000940 01:32:32.540 --> 01:32:34.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: solely the veterans memorial asr-000941 01:32:34.520 --> 01:32:36.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: medical center as asr-000942 01:32:36.500 --> 01:32:37.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the sole asr-000943 01:32:37.700 --> 01:32:40.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: focus of medical asr-000944 01:32:40.460 --> 01:32:41.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: care for veterans. asr-000945 01:32:42.240 --> 01:32:44.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: That situation is untenable asr-000946 01:32:44.220 --> 01:32:46.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because rather than asr-000947 01:32:46.240 --> 01:32:48.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: prioritizing asr-000948 01:32:48.600 --> 01:32:50.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: veterans wellness, asr-000949 01:32:50.480 --> 01:32:52.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: you prioritize a physical asr-000950 01:32:52.140 --> 01:32:53.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: hospital. asr-000951 01:32:53.580 --> 01:32:56.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So it does not serve the asr-000952 01:32:56.220 --> 01:32:57.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: purpose, your honor. asr-000953 01:32:57.460 --> 01:32:59.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So we refocus asr-000954 01:32:59.900 --> 01:33:02.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the programs and plans asr-000955 01:33:02.020 --> 01:33:04.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to have asr-000956 01:33:04.700 --> 01:33:06.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the welfare of the veteran asr-000957 01:33:06.420 --> 01:33:08.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: first and how we can asr-000958 01:33:08.240 --> 01:33:10.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: service that need rather than asr-000959 01:33:10.420 --> 01:33:12.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to maintain a hospital asr-000960 01:33:12.560 --> 01:33:14.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: alone, which asr-000961 01:33:14.400 --> 01:33:16.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: was the focus of the VMMC. asr-000962 01:33:17.100 --> 01:33:18.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So these targets asr-000963 01:33:18.480 --> 01:33:20.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we hope to increase with asr-000964 01:33:20.380 --> 01:33:22.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the number, your honor, of outpatients asr-000965 01:33:22.900 --> 01:33:24.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: treated asr-000966 01:33:24.080 --> 01:33:26.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and with the asr-000967 01:33:26.220 --> 01:33:30.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: establishment asr-000968 01:33:30.660 --> 01:33:33.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: of new asr-000969 01:33:33.060 --> 01:33:34.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: clinics where we can asr-000970 01:33:34.740 --> 01:33:36.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: diagnose and treat asr-000971 01:33:36.500 --> 01:33:39.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: our veterans throughout the Philippines. asr-000972 01:33:39.940 --> 01:33:41.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: There are three already asr-000973 01:33:41.720 --> 01:33:43.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in existence now. asr-000974 01:33:45.380 --> 01:33:47.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So that they do not need asr-000975 01:33:47.060 --> 01:33:49.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to come to Manila anymore. asr-000976 01:33:50.320 --> 01:33:52.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Or to go to private medical centers asr-000977 01:33:52.900 --> 01:33:54.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: of which the government asr-000978 01:33:54.660 --> 01:33:56.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: has to reimburse. asr-000979 01:33:56.220 --> 01:33:58.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: If the public hospitals asr-000980 01:33:58.420 --> 01:33:59.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: cannot take care of them. asr-000981 01:34:00.680 --> 01:34:02.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We have three and the reason asr-000982 01:34:02.380 --> 01:34:04.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: for three alone, your honor, asr-000983 01:34:04.380 --> 01:34:06.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it is hard to find people asr-000984 01:34:06.520 --> 01:34:08.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to staff the centers. asr-000985 01:34:09.900 --> 01:34:11.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So we continue asr-000986 01:34:11.300 --> 01:34:12.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the recruitment drive asr-000987 01:34:12.640 --> 01:34:15.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and to establish them asr-000988 01:34:15.240 --> 01:34:16.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: where we can asr-000989 01:34:16.520 --> 01:34:18.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in collocated with asr-000990 01:34:18.900 --> 01:34:20.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: our station hospitals asr-000991 01:34:20.460 --> 01:34:23.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and we want asr-000992 01:34:23.360 --> 01:34:25.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to build an ecosystem on that asr-000993 01:34:25.220 --> 01:34:26.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: also for the veterans. asr-000994 01:34:26.160 --> 01:34:27.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The hospice, somewhere else, asr-000995 01:34:27.860 --> 01:34:29.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and then the social homes asr-000996 01:34:29.600 --> 01:34:30.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: for our veterans. asr-000997 01:34:30.920 --> 01:34:35.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Eighty-three percent asr-000998 01:34:35.000 --> 01:34:36.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: are the target, your honor, asr-000999 01:34:36.400 --> 01:34:37.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: of discharges. asr-001000 01:34:37.560 --> 01:34:38.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Once again, your honor, asr-001001 01:34:38.560 --> 01:34:40.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I have to point out asr-001002 01:34:40.560 --> 01:34:42.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: that the last time I reviewed asr-001003 01:34:42.400 --> 01:34:45.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the average hospitalization asr-001004 01:34:45.040 --> 01:34:46.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: was 16 days. asr-001005 01:34:47.760 --> 01:34:49.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because of the fact asr-001006 01:34:49.120 --> 01:34:55.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: that there are extended stay veterans asr-001007 01:34:55.200 --> 01:34:56.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: who do not have asr-001008 01:34:56.160 --> 01:34:58.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: any where else to go. asr-001009 01:35:03.760 --> 01:35:05.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Financial accomplishments, next slide. asr-001010 01:35:20.320 --> 01:35:22.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For 2025, your honor, asr-001011 01:35:22.320 --> 01:35:25.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the appropriations were 448. asr-001012 01:35:26.160 --> 01:35:29.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Allotment was 443. asr-001013 01:35:29.560 --> 01:35:32.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 414 was obligated. asr-001014 01:35:32.200 --> 01:35:36.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 330 were disbursed. asr-001015 01:35:36.600 --> 01:35:40.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 29 was unobligated asr-001016 01:35:40.040 --> 01:35:43.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and 83 unpaid. asr-001017 01:35:43.840 --> 01:35:46.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So obligation versus allotment asr-001018 01:35:46.800 --> 01:35:48.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: was 93 percent asr-001019 01:35:48.520 --> 01:35:51.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and payment versus obligation asr-001020 01:35:51.400 --> 01:35:55.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: was 79 percent. asr-001021 01:35:55.760 --> 01:35:56.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide. asr-001022 01:36:00.760 --> 01:36:01.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For 2026, asr-001023 01:36:01.760 --> 01:36:06.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the first semester, your honor, asr-001024 01:36:06.200 --> 01:36:09.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the appropriation for this year asr-001025 01:36:09.700 --> 01:36:12.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: was 489. asr-001026 01:36:12.120 --> 01:36:14.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Allotment, 406. asr-001027 01:36:14.000 --> 01:36:17.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Obligated is 191 billion. asr-001028 01:36:17.520 --> 01:36:20.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Disbursements, 163 asr-001029 01:36:20.520 --> 01:36:21.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: for the first semester. asr-001030 01:36:21.920 --> 01:36:25.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Unobligated was 214. asr-001031 01:36:25.760 --> 01:36:28.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and unpaid was 28. asr-001032 01:36:30.000 --> 01:36:34.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, obligation versus allotment, 47% for the first semester, asr-001033 01:36:35.980 --> 01:36:40.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and disbursement versus obligation, around 85% from last year's 70. asr-001034 01:36:42.440 --> 01:36:43.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide, please. asr-001035 01:36:48.340 --> 01:36:50.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For comparatives, Your Honor, asr-001036 01:36:51.600 --> 01:36:54.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which is the source also of the year-on-year, asr-001037 01:36:54.080 --> 01:36:58.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which probably does not reflect current needs. asr-001038 01:37:01.260 --> 01:37:05.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: What is important here is we will see, Your Honor, asr-001039 01:37:05.660 --> 01:37:15.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: that there is an increasing trend of both obligations and allotments. asr-001040 01:37:16.760 --> 01:37:19.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Our challenge during the start, Your Honor, asr-001041 01:37:19.880 --> 01:37:23.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: was the low approved budget system asr-001042 01:37:24.080 --> 01:37:33.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and the feelings for items that we needed to acquire. asr-001043 01:37:34.320 --> 01:37:39.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And with the inflation catching up, particularly for defense material, asr-001044 01:37:40.300 --> 01:37:44.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we could not obligate the amounts. asr-001045 01:37:45.780 --> 01:37:49.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And it would have been a waste of taxpayers' money to do so. asr-001046 01:37:49.640 --> 01:37:53.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And I discourage the practice of... asr-001047 01:37:54.080 --> 01:38:02.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: rushing to obligate just to satisfy the 100% obligation rate. asr-001048 01:38:02.260 --> 01:38:09.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I felt that, you know, let's just give a good reason why it was not obligated. asr-001049 01:38:11.020 --> 01:38:13.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we refuse to obligate. asr-001050 01:38:13.560 --> 01:38:21.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I particularly refuse to obligate if we're just going to end up with something that is... asr-001051 01:38:21.260 --> 01:38:22.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: is... asr-001052 01:38:22.260 --> 01:38:23.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: is... asr-001053 01:38:24.080 --> 01:38:28.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: something not optimal for us. asr-001054 01:38:29.320 --> 01:38:31.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But it has... asr-001055 01:38:32.760 --> 01:38:38.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: particularly for the 2024 and 2025, asr-001056 01:38:39.160 --> 01:38:48.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: when there have been very major changes in the nature of the equipment that we need. asr-001057 01:38:48.000 --> 01:38:53.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we had significant lessons learned... asr-001058 01:38:54.080 --> 01:39:00.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: for the supportability and integration and interoperability of platforms. asr-001059 01:39:00.840 --> 01:39:09.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So we required full sustainment to come with acquisitions. asr-001060 01:39:09.940 --> 01:39:16.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And most importantly, guaranteed supply chains and guaranteed interoperability and upgrades. asr-001061 01:39:18.280 --> 01:39:23.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Plus, we required a reserve of at least 30 days of munitions. asr-001062 01:39:23.560 --> 01:39:23.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We... asr-001063 01:39:24.620 --> 01:39:25.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and every platform that... asr-001064 01:39:27.560 --> 01:39:29.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we notionally will acquire. asr-001065 01:39:32.100 --> 01:39:41.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We also had the experience or honor of purchasing bare platforms and the weaponry to follow. asr-001066 01:39:42.440 --> 01:39:47.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I do not think that is a proper way to go, which was why we stopped the practice. asr-001067 01:39:47.900 --> 01:39:52.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: However, this results in increased acquisition costs. asr-001068 01:39:54.080 --> 01:40:02.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: beforehand because as we know prices just keep on going up so you might as well lock it in asr-001069 01:40:03.200 --> 01:40:07.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: at one time and get the whole package guaranteed asr-001070 01:40:10.880 --> 01:40:23.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: this also has resulted in the abc's being and being too low for us so it is a continuing asr-001071 01:40:23.600 --> 01:40:32.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: challenge your honor with the uh with the greater costs of uh the essential platforms we need asr-001072 01:40:32.880 --> 01:40:40.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: of course we have also been investing in mitigation hybrids and you know evolutionary asr-001073 01:40:40.000 --> 01:40:48.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: uh platforms however this is part and parcel of a mix that you will need to have asr-001074 01:40:49.680 --> 01:40:53.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: once again i reiterate our gaps are infrastructure asr-001075 01:40:54.560 --> 01:40:57.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: basic platforms and asr-001076 01:41:00.960 --> 01:41:07.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: logistics facilities and support facilities that we will need on a resilient basis asr-001077 01:41:09.120 --> 01:41:09.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: next slide asr-001078 01:41:12.400 --> 01:41:15.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: issues and concerns your honor uh next slide asr-001079 01:41:19.680 --> 01:41:23.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: uh the uh 21 line items we asr-001080 01:41:23.600 --> 01:41:28.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we submitted just to complete programs only three have been approved asr-001081 01:41:31.680 --> 01:41:35.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: but this is reflective your honor of the asr-001082 01:41:43.120 --> 01:41:50.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: consideration of infrastructure that we need to underscore given the fact that asr-001083 01:41:50.480 --> 01:41:54.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: uh we were deprived of asr-001084 01:41:58.160 --> 01:42:04.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: infrastructure that were designed really for military use that have been converted asr-001085 01:42:04.640 --> 01:42:27.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, the unfunded, Your Honor, comes out to about 87, but I do not know after the House, Your Honor, would have submitted to the Senate their version, how much of this would have been answered for. asr-001086 01:42:30.140 --> 01:42:31.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide. asr-001087 01:42:31.060 --> 01:43:01.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For the modernization, Your Honor, minimum of 70 just for re-Horizon 3, but we should see there is still Horizon 2 projects that need to be completed, but we also scrapped, repurposed some of them because a lot of Horizon 2 projects are already obsolete. asr-001088 01:43:01.060 --> 01:43:17.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But this does not include, we have not yet come out, Your Honor, with the recalibration of Horizon 3, which we need to submit to the Senate for the President for approval. asr-001089 01:43:17.100 --> 01:43:30.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The program of 50 billion, Your Honor. asr-001090 01:43:31.060 --> 01:44:00.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: If we obligate and contract out all of these, we will need 20 billion more from the current 50 billion that is being proposed just to pay for the continuing multi-year continuing obligational authority, which is why also our obligation rate is low. asr-001091 01:44:01.060 --> 01:44:11.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: If we obligate for that year, our payments would balloon and it will be beyond the modernization. asr-001092 01:44:31.060 --> 01:44:41.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide, Your Honor. asr-001093 01:44:41.380 --> 01:44:45.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: With the indulgence of the Committee, I will move to the next slide, Your Honor. asr-001094 01:44:56.580 --> 01:44:59.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: This one, Your Honor, we already included it last year. asr-001095 01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:17.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: In the absence of the amendatory law for the presidential decree, Your Honor, limiting foreign borrowings for defense to 300 million U.S. dollars. asr-001096 01:45:18.940 --> 01:45:25.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We have a bill already pending, Your Honor, to take that limitation out. asr-001097 01:45:25.600 --> 01:45:36.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It allows contracting for foreign loans, grants, and other credit facilities. asr-001098 01:45:37.380 --> 01:45:48.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: However, under the control of the Secretary of Finance, Your Honor, we fully understand that this has to be subject to fiscal space limitations. asr-001099 01:45:48.780 --> 01:45:54.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we fully accept the asr-001100 01:45:55.600 --> 01:45:59.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: seniority and the primacy of the Secretary of Finance in these matters. asr-001101 01:46:01.060 --> 01:46:04.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So it has been enacted last year. asr-001102 01:46:04.420 --> 01:46:09.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We did not avail of it, Your Honor, because of the mechanism with the Secretary of Finance. asr-001103 01:46:12.920 --> 01:46:20.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So we appeal for the same flexibility to be enacted this year. asr-001104 01:46:23.300 --> 01:46:25.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: In anticipation also, Your Honor. asr-001105 01:46:25.600 --> 01:46:31.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: In anticipation also, Your Honor, of the repeal of the 300 million dollar limitation. asr-001106 01:46:34.060 --> 01:46:36.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It is a continuing provision, Your Honor. asr-001107 01:46:38.420 --> 01:46:46.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we have not availed of it because knowing fiscal space limitations. asr-001108 01:46:49.640 --> 01:46:50.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Next slide, please. asr-001109 01:46:52.260 --> 01:46:53.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: This is the last slide, Your Honor. asr-001110 01:46:53.840 --> 01:46:55.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We shall be open to questions. asr-001111 01:46:55.600 --> 01:46:58.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: From Your Honors. asr-001112 01:47:01.360 --> 01:47:03.580 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, Secretary Teodoro. asr-001113 01:47:04.240 --> 01:47:09.040 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But I will ask my colleagues to go and propound questions first. asr-001114 01:47:09.120 --> 01:47:14.740 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But before them, meron lang ano, may patanong lang yung ano, naghahabol kasi mag-media natin. asr-001115 01:47:14.820 --> 01:47:15.320 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Deadline, no? asr-001116 01:47:15.860 --> 01:47:17.200 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Singit lang ako ng dalawa. asr-001117 01:47:17.920 --> 01:47:21.660 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sec, habang nagpe-present kayo ng budget kanina, lumabas sa balita. asr-001118 01:47:21.660 --> 01:47:24.640 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Now, allow me to quote the statement of the DFA Secretary, asr-001119 01:47:24.640 --> 01:47:26.020 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: the Department of Foreign Affairs. asr-001120 01:47:26.800 --> 01:47:32.120 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Summoned Chinese Ambassador Jing Kuan on October 19 to convey the Philippine serious concern and strong objection. asr-001121 01:47:33.140 --> 01:47:37.060 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: This October 15 public statement which conveyed the threat to use of force. asr-001122 01:47:37.640 --> 01:47:42.800 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So ano ba ang treatment ng DND sa mga ganitong statement ng isang foreign diplomat? asr-001123 01:47:42.980 --> 01:47:47.220 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I know that both of us are subject to ano now, no? asr-001124 01:47:47.420 --> 01:47:53.200 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Being attacked by, I don't know kung itong mga ito, mga tools to. asr-001125 01:47:53.200 --> 01:47:53.880 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I don't know. asr-001126 01:47:53.980 --> 01:47:54.140 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But. asr-001127 01:47:54.640 --> 01:47:57.960 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We are both, we just want to make, we just want to make it clear. asr-001128 01:47:58.100 --> 01:48:05.400 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: But that both of us, me and myself and my, the Secretary [unclear], we both studied in Xavier School, both studied Chinese. asr-001129 01:48:05.960 --> 01:48:10.880 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And I'm sure that he, we love our Chinese schoolmates and classmates. asr-001130 01:48:11.660 --> 01:48:18.040 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So it is not the Chinese people just to be straight at the, to set the record straight. asr-001131 01:48:18.040 --> 01:48:20.000 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: It's the expansionist. asr-001132 01:48:24.640 --> 01:48:27.520 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: It's the stock of Xi Jinping's government. asr-001133 01:48:27.720 --> 01:48:38.800 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So probably, I'm sure just quickly, Secretary Guibo, how does the DND treat this kind of public statement that convey a threat of use of force from the Chinese ambassador? asr-001134 01:48:38.800 --> 01:48:52.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your Honor, consistent with our earlier pronouncements, number one, we refute all allegations made by the ambassador that we are troublemakers and are provoking. asr-001135 01:48:53.560 --> 01:48:54.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We rate. asr-001136 01:48:54.640 --> 01:49:07.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We reiterate, nulit namin, Your Honor, ang aming pag-suporta at pag-taguyod sa UNCLOS and the UN Charter. asr-001137 01:49:09.680 --> 01:49:18.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pangalawa, pinahiwatig na po natin ang ating pag-object sa kanyang pananalita. asr-001138 01:49:18.660 --> 01:49:22.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kasi hindi lang naman isang beses sinabi niyang you lose. asr-001139 01:49:23.020 --> 01:49:24.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yung pinoportray po ngayon. asr-001140 01:49:24.640 --> 01:49:31.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Ay yung we can use force if we want, but we may win easily. asr-001141 01:49:32.100 --> 01:49:40.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Meron pong isa na sinabi siya na okay, you cut military communications, but you lose. asr-001142 01:49:42.700 --> 01:49:48.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So ibig po sabihin, may pagbabantana po doon. asr-001143 01:49:48.660 --> 01:49:52.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Dalawang beses po niyang sinabi po yan. asr-001144 01:49:53.560 --> 01:49:54.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Ngayon po. asr-001145 01:49:54.640 --> 01:50:14.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pinatawag na po siya ng DFA, we have to wait, Your Honor, for developments which, of course, the President or the DFA will message to the public at an appropriate time. asr-001146 01:50:14.780 --> 01:50:24.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pero maliwanag po ang ating pagtutol, hindi lang dito sa statement niya, kung hindi, the more important thing, yung kanilang false narrative. asr-001147 01:50:24.640 --> 01:50:39.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: May nine-dash line, may meron silang jurisdiction, pangatlo, yung kanila pong latest narrative na ang Batanes ay part ng China. asr-001148 01:50:39.940 --> 01:50:49.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kasi meron na daw silang karapatan na mag-operate sa mga karagatan na nagpapalibot sa Batanes. asr-001149 01:50:49.100 --> 01:50:54.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yan po ay matinding tinututulan at aming pong sinusubukan. asr-001150 01:50:54.640 --> 01:50:57.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Na i-deter yung ganyang klaseng mga behavior. asr-001151 01:50:58.460 --> 01:50:58.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Salamat po. asr-001152 01:51:00.440 --> 01:51:01.920 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, Secretary. asr-001153 01:51:02.660 --> 01:51:07.740 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Much has been said over the weekend, and I think this is an opportunity to clarify where we stand. asr-001154 01:51:08.460 --> 01:51:13.360 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And we believe in diplomacy, but we also believe in developing good relations with our neighbors. asr-001155 01:51:13.360 --> 01:51:16.920 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pero siyempre, dapat may respeto sa isa't isa. asr-001156 01:51:17.180 --> 01:51:24.360 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Medyo hindi na maganda ang kanyang mga aksyon at mga pananalita asr-001157 01:51:24.640 --> 01:51:29.380 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: na may halong pananakot. asr-001158 01:51:30.020 --> 01:51:33.880 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Very hostile and very undiplomatic. asr-001159 01:51:34.400 --> 01:51:38.220 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And we would like to support our Secretary also. asr-001160 01:51:38.220 --> 01:51:42.220 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Your stand also when you were in Singapore. asr-001161 01:51:42.940 --> 01:51:48.840 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I'd like to commend you for that, for being firm and steadfast in saying that we will protect. asr-001162 01:51:48.960 --> 01:51:52.940 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And we are just protecting our sovereignty and our territorial integrity. asr-001163 01:51:53.760 --> 01:51:54.260 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So... asr-001164 01:51:54.260 --> 01:51:55.380 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you, Secretary. asr-001165 01:51:55.640 --> 01:51:56.180 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Thank you for that. asr-001166 01:51:56.520 --> 01:52:00.220 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Probably our Senate President would like to ask questions. asr-001167 01:52:01.480 --> 01:52:05.420 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Mr. President, I was watching the hearing. asr-001168 01:52:07.360 --> 01:52:09.100 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I was waiting actually in my room. asr-001169 01:52:09.100 --> 01:52:14.680 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And I saw Senator Lacson was waiting here way, way advanced than both of us. asr-001170 01:52:14.920 --> 01:52:21.020 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So I will yield to Senator Lacson who came in first before we both came in. asr-001171 01:52:21.700 --> 01:52:24.200 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, Senator Lacson will now propound. asr-001172 01:52:24.260 --> 01:52:25.640 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: His questions and concerns. asr-001173 01:52:25.920 --> 01:52:26.120 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Yeah. asr-001174 01:52:26.240 --> 01:52:28.060 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Thank you, Mr. President and Mr. Chairman. asr-001175 01:52:29.200 --> 01:52:32.340 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Yung isang item dito, yung unused appropriations. asr-001176 01:52:32.340 --> 01:52:39.540 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Of course, when we speak of unused appropriations, it is the total of unobligated at saka unreleased. asr-001177 01:52:40.020 --> 01:52:47.140 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: For 2024, pag pinagsama yung dalawa, nasa mga 32 billion. asr-001178 01:52:49.140 --> 01:52:50.160 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 32 million. asr-001179 01:52:50.780 --> 01:52:50.940 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yeah. asr-001180 01:52:51.420 --> 01:52:51.700 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Billion. asr-001181 01:52:51.880 --> 01:52:53.060 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: 32 billion. asr-001182 01:52:53.580 --> 01:52:54.100 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: 2022. asr-001183 01:52:54.260 --> 01:52:58.240 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Wala na ito kasi under the continuing appropriations, 2 years lang eh. asr-001184 01:52:59.040 --> 01:53:02.020 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: In 2025, nasa mga 31 billion. asr-001185 01:53:03.140 --> 01:53:05.900 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Again, unobligated and unreleased. asr-001186 01:53:06.640 --> 01:53:10.260 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: So what would account for the... asr-001187 01:53:11.280 --> 01:53:19.080 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: I think this is huge numbers, 31 billion in unused appropriations for 2025. asr-001188 01:53:20.080 --> 01:53:21.940 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: What would account, sir, asr-001188-split-2 01:53:21.940 --> 01:53:22.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: are the asr-001189 01:53:22.720 --> 01:53:28.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: inflationary pressures dun sa mga kinakailangan po natin i-acquire. asr-001190 01:53:28.760 --> 01:53:41.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: At dun naman po sa limited na capital outlay, dahil po sa costings ng materials, umaakyat po yung halaga. asr-001191 01:53:41.740 --> 01:53:42.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kaya po, kung... asr-001192 01:53:43.860 --> 01:53:52.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pangantlo po, yung pag ginamit yung ibang items po dun sa unobligated, asr-001193 01:53:52.100 --> 01:53:54.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: pag inobligate po, tataas. asr-001194 01:53:54.260 --> 01:53:57.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Tapos pa po yung MICA natin sa amount ng modernization. asr-001195 01:53:58.720 --> 01:54:06.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, yung fiscal constraints po, and yung pag-costing po ng mga horizons, asr-001196 01:54:08.120 --> 01:54:11.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: gumagapang po yung presyo halos araw-araw. asr-001197 01:54:11.940 --> 01:54:15.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, pag may nakita... asr-001198 01:54:15.000 --> 01:54:18.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Unang-una po, baka dun po sa approved bid ceiling kasi, asr-001199 01:54:19.040 --> 01:54:21.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: doon po sa mga reglamento natin, asr-001200 01:54:22.240 --> 01:54:23.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: hindi na po... asr-001201 01:54:24.260 --> 01:54:27.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: ayun sa presyo na gusto natin. asr-001202 01:54:30.240 --> 01:54:40.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pangalawa po, yung ating pong patakaran na kailangan po yung platforms are fully weaponized asr-001203 01:54:40.220 --> 01:54:44.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and provided with reserves kasi yun po ang nakikita. asr-001204 01:54:45.660 --> 01:54:51.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Actually, very, very conservative yung reserves natin na 30 days na munitions per platform. asr-001205 01:54:51.720 --> 01:54:53.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pero alam po natin na humahaba. asr-001206 01:54:54.260 --> 01:54:57.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: At hindi na po yung panahon na kailangan po natin na reserba. asr-001207 01:54:58.100 --> 01:55:02.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yun po ang primary reason po from 2024. asr-001208 01:55:02.980 --> 01:55:06.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because I remember, at the end of 2023 po, asr-001209 01:55:06.560 --> 01:55:08.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: doon pumasok ang ReHorizon 3. asr-001210 01:55:08.900 --> 01:55:12.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kasi nag-revisa po kami ng kinakailangan, kaya nagbago po ito. asr-001211 01:55:14.300 --> 01:55:17.780 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: So, the next relevant question would be, asr-001212 01:55:18.100 --> 01:55:19.700 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: how do we resolve this issue? asr-001213 01:55:19.840 --> 01:55:21.600 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Kasi year in, year out, asr-001214 01:55:21.600 --> 01:55:23.640 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: ito lagi yung nagiging problem. asr-001215 01:55:24.260 --> 01:55:27.640 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: We're trying to catch up, but it seems that we are not catching up. asr-001216 01:55:28.660 --> 01:55:36.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Sir, there should really be a determination to have continuous defense spending increases asr-001217 01:55:36.020 --> 01:55:42.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which will impact the total fiscal picture of the government. asr-001218 01:55:43.100 --> 01:55:45.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I will give an example, Your Honor. asr-001219 01:55:45.100 --> 01:55:53.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Ang Singapore from day one ng panganak niya in 1965 or 66, asr-001220 01:55:53.540 --> 01:55:54.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 6%. asr-001221 01:55:54.260 --> 01:55:59.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: ng GDP at the minimum ang ginagastos po nila. asr-001222 01:55:59.700 --> 01:56:04.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Tayo po ay sa core defense spending, wala pa po sa dos. asr-001223 01:56:05.160 --> 01:56:07.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Nasasakal na po yung budget natin. asr-001224 01:56:08.200 --> 01:56:14.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I think it should be a determination, Your Honor, asr-001225 01:56:14.480 --> 01:56:18.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: na we raise the amount through financing asr-001226 01:56:18.760 --> 01:56:21.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because if we make a determination, asr-001227 01:56:21.240 --> 01:56:23.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: nagagastusin lang talaga ito. asr-001228 01:56:23.380 --> 01:56:24.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: On the future, asr-001229 01:56:24.260 --> 01:56:25.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: for generations, asr-001230 01:56:25.940 --> 01:56:26.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: mabuti pa, asr-001231 01:56:27.400 --> 01:56:30.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: umpisahan na natin ang tama sa ngayon asr-001232 01:56:30.180 --> 01:56:33.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: kesa sa pamahal ng pamahal o pasikip ng pasikip ito. asr-001233 01:56:34.700 --> 01:56:38.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, I think it is a macroeconomic problem asr-001234 01:56:38.960 --> 01:56:41.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: that has to be solved macroeconomically. asr-001235 01:56:42.200 --> 01:56:43.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pangalawa naman po, asr-001236 01:56:44.520 --> 01:56:47.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: nile-leverage din po natin ang alliances natin asr-001237 01:56:47.900 --> 01:56:51.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: katulad ng official security assistance ng Japan asr-001238 01:56:51.020 --> 01:56:54.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: na 200 million kada taon na US dollars. asr-001239 01:56:54.260 --> 01:56:57.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: At FMF financing sa US asr-001240 01:56:57.700 --> 01:57:03.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: at sa iba pa pong partners sa Australia at sa Canada in the future. asr-001241 01:57:03.700 --> 01:57:08.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pero hindi ito substitute po talaga. asr-001242 01:57:08.360 --> 01:57:10.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And I see your point, Your Honor. asr-001243 01:57:10.900 --> 01:57:15.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I think it will go beyond my mandate asr-001244 01:57:15.500 --> 01:57:21.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to view a solution to this problem. asr-001245 01:57:21.940 --> 01:57:24.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The acquisition, asr-001246 01:57:24.140 --> 01:57:28.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the avenues of getting the funds, asr-001247 01:57:29.580 --> 01:57:31.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we can probably remediate, asr-001248 01:57:32.060 --> 01:57:35.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: but the repayment is the problem asr-001249 01:57:35.460 --> 01:57:37.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which transcends the D&D. asr-001250 01:57:40.800 --> 01:57:44.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We are really reflecting the realities asr-001251 01:57:44.420 --> 01:57:48.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: of the costs that we need. asr-001252 01:57:49.120 --> 01:57:50.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: At the end of the day, asr-001253 01:57:50.180 --> 01:57:51.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it's a political decision asr-001254 01:57:51.400 --> 01:57:53.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: whether you fund this asr-001255 01:57:53.060 --> 01:57:53.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: versus, asr-001256 01:57:53.580 --> 01:57:55.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: versus something else. asr-001257 01:57:55.020 --> 01:57:56.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because it's really a zero-sum game. asr-001258 01:57:57.540 --> 01:57:59.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: There's no denying it. asr-001259 01:58:03.580 --> 01:58:05.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: That's as best as I can answer asr-001260 01:58:05.940 --> 01:58:07.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: our Vice Chairperson. asr-001261 01:58:08.720 --> 01:58:10.300 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. asr-001262 01:58:10.560 --> 01:58:12.180 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Before I move on to another topic, asr-001263 01:58:12.300 --> 01:58:13.520 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: I'd like to find out from COA, asr-001264 01:58:14.060 --> 01:58:17.280 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: are there major procurement issues asr-001265 01:58:17.280 --> 01:58:20.520 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: that should merit our attention asr-001266 01:58:20.520 --> 01:58:22.160 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: regarding the D&D? asr-001267 01:58:23.580 --> 01:58:26.540 COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. asr-001268 01:58:26.540 --> 01:58:27.460 COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel: Thank you. asr-001269 01:58:27.460 --> 01:58:28.560 COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel: Good afternoon, Sir, Your Honor. asr-001270 01:58:29.260 --> 01:58:31.720 COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel: For the D&D OSEC, Sir, asr-001271 01:58:31.880 --> 01:58:33.060 COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel: in which I am the supervising... asr-001272 01:58:33.060 --> 01:58:33.880 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Not just the OSEC, asr-001273 01:58:34.020 --> 01:58:35.620 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: the establishment. asr-001274 01:58:37.140 --> 01:58:38.800 COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel: May I call on the other asr-001275 01:58:38.800 --> 01:58:40.140 COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel: supervising auditor, Sir? asr-001276 01:58:40.720 --> 01:58:41.160 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Yeah, please. asr-001277 01:58:42.300 --> 01:58:45.140 COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel: For the Armed Forces of the Philippines, asr-001278 01:58:46.220 --> 01:58:47.700 COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel: the General Headquarters. asr-001279 01:58:49.340 --> 01:58:49.660 COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel: May I? asr-001280 01:58:49.660 --> 01:58:50.980 COA Supervising Auditor Rosana A. Alconcel: Thank you. asr-001281 01:58:53.580 --> 01:59:09.600 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Kaya lang ako concerned kasi so many years ago, same budget deliberation sa DND, meron kami nakitang COA issue na 10 years na hindi pa na-deliver, laging in transit. asr-001282 01:59:09.600 --> 01:59:36.920 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: So ang tanong ni Senator Enrile noon, ang tagal naman mag-deliver yan, 10 years pa. Every year, recurring yung issue being raised by COA. So hindi na na-deliver sa end user. So these are the issues that I'm talking about. Kung meron mga parallel or similar issues na dapat i-attend or maybe pwede nang burahin sa libro nyo kasi 10 years, hindi pa dumarating eh. asr-001283 01:59:39.600 --> 01:59:59.860 COA Supervising Auditor Norina Rose L. Yao: Good afternoon everyone, Your Honor. Regarding po dun sa deliveries, wala naman po tayong question about po dun sa actual delivery but more on documentation. And ongoing naman po yung retrieval ng mga documents. Yun nga po nandun po tayo sa 10 years. asr-001284 02:00:00.000 --> 02:00:05.640 COA Supervising Auditor Norina Rose L. Yao: But, however, yung ongoing coordination naman po is currently conducted po. asr-001285 02:00:05.880 --> 02:00:08.940 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Any other specific issues that you can share with us, with the committee? asr-001286 02:00:09.640 --> 02:00:09.980 COA Supervising Auditor Norina Rose L. Yao: Ano naman? asr-001287 02:00:10.540 --> 02:00:11.140 COA Supervising Auditor Norina Rose L. Yao: Ano po. asr-001288 02:00:11.860 --> 02:00:12.720 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: So, totoo yan ah? asr-001289 02:00:12.860 --> 02:00:13.360 COA Supervising Auditor Norina Rose L. Yao: Yes po. asr-001290 02:00:13.740 --> 02:00:13.980 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Okay. asr-001291 02:00:14.400 --> 02:00:14.820 COA Supervising Auditor Norina Rose L. Yao: Thank you. asr-001292 02:00:16.600 --> 02:00:28.040 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Doon sa malay na foreign influence and interference, yung security sector, meron ba tayong data and substantiated reports? asr-001293 02:00:28.040 --> 02:00:35.140 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Of actual malign interference by foreign jurisdictions against our country? asr-001294 02:00:35.680 --> 02:00:42.700 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Considering na hindi pa natin ipasa yung amendment ng decades-old anti-espionage law? asr-001295 02:00:43.480 --> 02:00:46.860 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: So, how do we confront this kind of a situation? asr-001296 02:00:47.860 --> 02:00:57.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Sir, we can only confront it now if there is a predicate crime that has been committed. asr-001297 02:00:57.740 --> 02:00:57.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Or is... asr-001298 02:00:58.040 --> 02:00:59.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It's in the process of being committed. asr-001299 02:01:00.580 --> 02:01:14.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And what we have seen so far is on the economic sabotage aspect, like money laundering, human trafficking aspect also, Your Honor. asr-001300 02:01:14.400 --> 02:01:25.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And environmental standards plus fake citizenships. asr-001301 02:01:26.980 --> 02:01:27.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: However, on the... asr-001302 02:01:28.040 --> 02:01:37.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Activities, actually, sir, that will be maligned, we have information. asr-001303 02:01:37.860 --> 02:01:46.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: However, substantiated information is quite difficult given the constraints that we have. asr-001304 02:01:47.000 --> 02:01:57.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Particularly for the connections between influencer and influence. asr-001305 02:01:58.040 --> 02:01:59.840 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Political influence, ano? asr-001306 02:02:00.180 --> 02:02:01.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Political, sir, and others. asr-001307 02:02:01.740 --> 02:02:03.580 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: That's part of the malign interference, eh? asr-001308 02:02:03.620 --> 02:02:04.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, sir. asr-001309 02:02:04.300 --> 02:02:13.320 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Yung covert operations na influencing, you know, even the mga GNC, hindi ba? asr-001310 02:02:13.560 --> 02:02:13.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, sir. asr-001311 02:02:14.120 --> 02:02:15.460 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Through social media and all. asr-001312 02:02:15.460 --> 02:02:21.800 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Now, what has happened to the arrests conducted by, I think, the NBI, you know? asr-001313 02:02:22.980 --> 02:02:27.460 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: By foreign agents conducting surveillance? asr-001314 02:02:28.040 --> 02:02:32.040 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Surveillance operations sa near Camp Aguinaldo, and then also sa Comelec. asr-001315 02:02:32.620 --> 02:02:38.320 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: We asked this during the first committee hearing of the anti-espionage law, yung bill. asr-001316 02:02:38.560 --> 02:02:38.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, sir. asr-001317 02:02:39.620 --> 02:02:41.440 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: So, walang feedback, eh? asr-001318 02:02:41.900 --> 02:02:49.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Sir, on the recent disruption operation, it was a Pogo operation. asr-001319 02:02:50.820 --> 02:02:53.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We are still exploiting the recovery. asr-001320 02:02:53.800 --> 02:02:56.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But the important thing is that the... asr-001321 02:02:58.040 --> 02:03:00.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: hub was closed down. asr-001322 02:03:01.320 --> 02:03:08.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And about more or less a hundred were taken by the BI. asr-001323 02:03:08.700 --> 02:03:16.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, they are awaiting deportation proceedings. asr-001324 02:03:16.700 --> 02:03:26.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I think deportation proceedings now are the most effective way of dealing with the persons apprehended. asr-001325 02:03:27.460 --> 02:03:27.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Unless... asr-001326 02:03:28.040 --> 02:03:29.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, they are principals. asr-001327 02:03:30.120 --> 02:03:33.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because if they are subjected to judicial processes, asr-001328 02:03:35.500 --> 02:03:42.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: somehow, sometimes, they are able to continue the activities. asr-001329 02:03:43.920 --> 02:03:48.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It's better that they are gone unless they are principals. asr-001330 02:03:48.240 --> 02:03:50.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For example, Your Honor Alice Go, asr-001331 02:03:51.000 --> 02:03:55.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which was a cut-and-dried case insofar as we're concerned. asr-001332 02:03:55.320 --> 02:03:58.000 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: It had nothing to do with the malign interference or... asr-001333 02:03:58.120 --> 02:03:58.940 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Espionage operations. asr-001334 02:03:59.160 --> 02:04:01.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We are still in the process, sir, of... asr-001335 02:04:01.860 --> 02:04:03.000 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Hindi pa na-validate. asr-001336 02:04:03.260 --> 02:04:03.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Hindi pa sir na-validate. asr-001337 02:04:03.620 --> 02:04:05.820 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: So far, Pogo yung nakita niyong motive. asr-001338 02:04:05.820 --> 02:04:06.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So far, Pogo, sir. asr-001339 02:04:07.280 --> 02:04:09.660 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Pero ang location niya nakakapagtaka. asr-001340 02:04:10.600 --> 02:04:19.520 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Katulad, parang yung Pogo na na-disrupt sa likod ng DFA noong 2023 or 2024. asr-001341 02:04:21.640 --> 02:04:26.240 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: May analysis na doon sa equipment, surveillance equipment that were confiscated. asr-001342 02:04:26.240 --> 02:04:27.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Ginagawa pa sa kasuluku yan, sir. asr-001343 02:04:28.040 --> 02:04:28.960 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Matagal na yun, ah. asr-001344 02:04:29.660 --> 02:04:31.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Last week lang yata, sir. asr-001345 02:04:31.180 --> 02:04:35.220 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: No, no. Recent. I think this was one or two years ago. asr-001346 02:04:35.540 --> 02:04:41.780 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: I was referring to the arrests made by, I think, NBI yata or PNP. asr-001347 02:04:42.840 --> 02:04:45.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I'm not sure about that, Your Honor. asr-001348 02:04:45.440 --> 02:04:49.140 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: I think close coordination should be made with the Armed Forces Intelligence. asr-001349 02:04:49.620 --> 02:04:50.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, Your Honor. asr-001350 02:04:50.420 --> 02:04:53.280 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: This could involve national security. asr-001351 02:04:53.280 --> 02:04:55.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: However, Your Honor, one constraint. asr-001352 02:04:56.020 --> 02:04:57.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Assuming that there is... asr-001353 02:04:58.040 --> 02:05:20.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Sometimes, what we have encountered in cases that we want to follow up is that to disrupt, to exploit a computer or a device would need a data warrant, another legal proceeding. asr-001354 02:05:20.580 --> 02:05:26.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, I will find out, Your Honor, about the status kasi marami na po eh. asr-001355 02:05:26.780 --> 02:05:27.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Ang interesting... asr-001356 02:05:28.040 --> 02:05:30.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Ang interesting thing po namin ay tumigil yung operation. asr-001357 02:05:31.560 --> 02:05:40.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Katulad po nung ibang mga na-disrupt natin, hindi naman lang yung fake na or substandard na ginagawa. asr-001358 02:05:40.180 --> 02:05:43.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kung hindi may [unclear] ito eh, nalabas-pasok ang... asr-001359 02:05:44.380 --> 02:05:45.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Matigil lang po yun. asr-001360 02:05:47.280 --> 02:05:51.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Initially, ay one half of the problem solved. asr-001361 02:05:51.480 --> 02:05:57.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kasi hindi na pwedeng gamitin yung lugar nalabas-pasok ang kung sino. asr-001362 02:05:58.040 --> 02:06:02.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, about the devices, Your Honor, I will find out, Your Honor. asr-001363 02:06:03.860 --> 02:06:11.140 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Those arrests that I was referring to, nangyari last year eh, near Comelec and in the vicinity of Camp Aguinaldo. asr-001364 02:06:11.860 --> 02:06:13.800 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: And that should tell us a lot, ano? asr-001365 02:06:13.940 --> 02:06:21.060 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Kasi kung Camp Aguinaldo and these are supposed to be foreign agents, then that should be a major concern. asr-001366 02:06:21.560 --> 02:06:23.140 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Threat sa national security. asr-001367 02:06:24.020 --> 02:06:24.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We'll find out, Your Honor. asr-001368 02:06:25.260 --> 02:06:26.120 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Yeah, please. asr-001369 02:06:26.580 --> 02:06:28.020 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: And please do something about it. asr-001370 02:06:28.040 --> 02:06:33.580 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Because baka mamaya, may mga reports din tayo, may mga sleeper na, di ba? asr-001371 02:06:34.140 --> 02:06:34.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, sir. asr-001372 02:06:34.740 --> 02:06:35.680 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: In the country. asr-001373 02:06:36.340 --> 02:06:42.320 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: And this could be tied to the reports of late registration of birth. asr-001374 02:06:42.920 --> 02:06:43.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, sir. asr-001375 02:06:43.520 --> 02:06:46.660 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Ang last count yata, nasa mga 3,000 ba o 5,000? asr-001376 02:06:47.300 --> 02:06:48.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Sir, I'm not sure of the amount. asr-001377 02:06:48.700 --> 02:06:49.480 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Identified, yeah. asr-001378 02:06:49.520 --> 02:06:50.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, sir. asr-001379 02:06:51.320 --> 02:06:55.880 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Identified the personalities na late registration. asr-001380 02:06:55.880 --> 02:06:57.880 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: I don't know what's the status now. asr-001381 02:06:58.040 --> 02:07:00.040 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Kung ano na ginawa ng PSA. asr-001382 02:07:00.720 --> 02:07:03.440 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Tinanong rin namin sa PSA ito during the budget deliberation. asr-001383 02:07:04.100 --> 02:07:07.040 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: And they're trying to find some remedial measures. asr-001384 02:07:08.400 --> 02:07:11.040 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: But, you know, masyado malalim na pag ganyang karami. asr-001385 02:07:12.120 --> 02:07:13.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Malalim na po talaga, sir. asr-001386 02:07:13.460 --> 02:07:15.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: At yung iba, second generation na eh. asr-001387 02:07:16.420 --> 02:07:23.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Ang pasok dito ng magulang ay talagang, ano, yung anak naman ang pinag-late registration. asr-001388 02:07:25.040 --> 02:07:25.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Di umano. asr-001389 02:07:25.940 --> 02:07:27.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Si Alice Gu ay ganun din. asr-001390 02:07:28.040 --> 02:07:34.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pero, meron din nagsasabi na hindi nga ganun ang nangyari sa kanya. asr-001391 02:07:36.960 --> 02:07:39.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Bagong pasok, bagong register. asr-001392 02:07:42.100 --> 02:07:45.460 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Anyway, kindly look into it, Mr. Secretary. asr-001393 02:07:45.600 --> 02:07:46.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Will do, sir. asr-001394 02:07:46.120 --> 02:07:47.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we'll report to you. asr-001395 02:07:48.060 --> 02:07:52.440 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: I will yield the floor to Senator Tulfo or the Senate President, Mr. Chairman. asr-001396 02:07:55.360 --> 02:07:56.580 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Our Senate President. asr-001397 02:07:56.580 --> 02:07:57.400 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you. asr-001398 02:07:57.520 --> 02:07:57.920 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you. asr-001399 02:07:58.040 --> 02:07:58.700 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. asr-001400 02:08:00.160 --> 02:08:08.860 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'll start off, Mr. Chairman, with some budgets, some of the items in the 2026 budget. asr-001401 02:08:09.600 --> 02:08:14.420 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Na-discuss ni Secretary ito kanina, yung sa loan. asr-001402 02:08:15.620 --> 02:08:22.940 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And I would like to understand how come the special provision wasn't triggered. asr-001403 02:08:22.940 --> 02:08:23.940 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I think it was... asr-001404 02:08:24.760 --> 02:08:27.940 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Nalagay natin itong special provision in foreign... asr-001405 02:08:28.040 --> 02:08:29.900 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and domestic financing arrangements. asr-001406 02:08:30.700 --> 02:08:34.640 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: This is an offshoot from an information from the Coast Guard. asr-001407 02:08:35.920 --> 02:08:41.980 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ang Coast Guard, nakasecure sila ng ODA to buy Coast Guard ships. asr-001408 02:08:42.720 --> 02:08:46.100 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, last year, we had a discussion. asr-001409 02:08:46.260 --> 02:08:49.100 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Sabi natin bakit hindi natin gawin the same for the defense, no? asr-001410 02:08:49.320 --> 02:08:51.780 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Whether ODA or other forms of loans. asr-001411 02:08:52.300 --> 02:08:54.700 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And hence, nalagay natin itong provision. asr-001412 02:08:54.700 --> 02:08:57.400 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I want to understand, Secretary, how come hindi siya nagamit? asr-001413 02:08:57.400 --> 02:08:59.340 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Is it too tight? asr-001414 02:08:59.460 --> 02:09:02.700 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Is it not kulang pa sa language? asr-001415 02:09:03.420 --> 02:09:07.640 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: May we understand kung ano naging result nito, no? asr-001416 02:09:07.880 --> 02:09:11.580 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: It's an innovation, actually, proposed by the Secretary. asr-001417 02:09:11.980 --> 02:09:20.900 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And sabi ko nga, this is a good way of multiplying the financial capacity of the armed forces or the DND. asr-001418 02:09:20.900 --> 02:09:25.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: There are basically two reasons, Your Honor. asr-001419 02:09:25.520 --> 02:09:26.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: That there's a tight... asr-001420 02:09:27.400 --> 02:09:29.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: fiscal space for what we need. asr-001421 02:09:29.400 --> 02:09:32.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Hence, the provision could not be triggered. asr-001422 02:09:32.680 --> 02:09:38.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And secondly, we were not able, insofar as the proposal sent to us, asr-001423 02:09:39.260 --> 02:09:43.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to get the financing in the rate that we want. asr-001424 02:09:44.100 --> 02:09:48.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It was too expensive, Your Honor, for us to trigger. asr-001425 02:09:48.620 --> 02:09:50.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Hence, we did not trigger, Your Honor. asr-001426 02:09:50.580 --> 02:09:52.860 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Pero merong sanong opportunity? asr-001427 02:09:53.220 --> 02:09:55.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Meron, pero mataas po ang financing cost. asr-001428 02:09:55.800 --> 02:09:56.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Hindi lang po mataas. asr-001429 02:09:57.400 --> 02:09:58.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yung cost. asr-001430 02:09:58.820 --> 02:10:00.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pero pati financing cost, mataas. asr-001431 02:10:01.780 --> 02:10:03.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It's a timing issue na rin. asr-001432 02:10:03.540 --> 02:10:05.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Timing issue, triggering issue, Your Honor. asr-001433 02:10:06.060 --> 02:10:13.280 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And do you propose to include natin ito ulit sa 2027 budget? asr-001434 02:10:13.280 --> 02:10:16.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It will provide us with the flexibility, Your Honor, asr-001435 02:10:16.500 --> 02:10:25.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: until the Presidential Decree limiting the amount of foreign borrowings that we can do for defense asr-001436 02:10:25.340 --> 02:10:27.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to 300 million pesos a year. asr-001437 02:10:27.240 --> 02:10:27.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Is that right? asr-001438 02:10:27.280 --> 02:10:27.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, Your Honor. asr-001439 02:10:27.300 --> 02:10:32.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, we would request it, very humbly request it again, Your Honor. asr-001440 02:10:33.260 --> 02:10:35.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: With the assurance that we will not trigger, Your Honor, asr-001441 02:10:36.060 --> 02:10:39.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: unless the Department of Finance is comfortable with it asr-001442 02:10:39.940 --> 02:10:45.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and we are comfortable also with the item that is being acquired. asr-001443 02:10:45.840 --> 02:10:48.300 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: With the terms of the financing, no? asr-001444 02:10:48.380 --> 02:10:49.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, Your Honor. asr-001445 02:10:49.200 --> 02:10:55.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kasi ngayon, admittedly, because of government bonds, everything is expensive right now. asr-001446 02:10:55.620 --> 02:10:57.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Even in India, Your Honor? asr-001447 02:10:57.300 --> 02:11:01.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: They increase the yield to 5.13% in government bonds. asr-001448 02:11:01.720 --> 02:11:06.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, because to defend the Indian currency. asr-001449 02:11:07.160 --> 02:11:09.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, it's a worldwide phenomenon. asr-001450 02:11:09.540 --> 02:11:10.020 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes, correct. asr-001451 02:11:10.020 --> 02:11:15.440 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: That's actually a reason why peso is weakening because of foreign interest rates. asr-001452 02:11:15.580 --> 02:11:21.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And with critical infrastructure that we need financing to, we understand the mix, Your Honor. asr-001453 02:11:21.620 --> 02:11:27.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But if we find a need that we can fill with the terms that our... asr-001454 02:11:27.300 --> 02:11:32.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We feel, Your Honor, will not be replicated any time, asr-001455 02:11:32.560 --> 02:11:37.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: then we will not hesitate to ask the Secretary of Finance to trigger it. asr-001456 02:11:37.500 --> 02:11:39.100 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: How about Secretary ODAs? asr-001457 02:11:39.160 --> 02:11:40.940 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Kasi ODAs are more competitive. asr-001458 02:11:41.260 --> 02:11:45.300 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I'm not very sure whether that's available for defense equipment. asr-001459 02:11:46.040 --> 02:11:50.920 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I know they're available for PCG, which is a civilian type of operation, asr-001460 02:11:51.140 --> 02:11:52.660 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: law enforcement type of operation. asr-001461 02:11:52.780 --> 02:11:56.620 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But for defense, I'm not very sure kung available yung mga ganyan sa defense. asr-001462 02:11:56.620 --> 02:11:57.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: No, Your Honor. asr-001463 02:11:57.320 --> 02:11:58.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: They're not available normally. asr-001464 02:11:59.460 --> 02:12:04.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: With Japan, as a matter of fact, there's the official security assistance, asr-001465 02:12:05.040 --> 02:12:07.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which is a grant of 200 million. asr-001466 02:12:07.460 --> 02:12:09.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For the past three years, we were the recipients. asr-001467 02:12:11.460 --> 02:12:21.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But normal ODA financing, which has to conform to OECD and other requirements, asr-001468 02:12:22.040 --> 02:12:23.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: still defends. asr-001469 02:12:23.740 --> 02:12:26.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: There are some countries that accept it and some none. asr-001470 02:12:27.300 --> 02:12:32.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So the financing for defense are special purpose credit agencies asr-001471 02:12:32.840 --> 02:12:38.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: normally tied to exports of the providing country, Your Honor. asr-001472 02:12:39.080 --> 02:12:40.360 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you for that information. asr-001473 02:12:40.520 --> 02:12:47.800 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: We'll propose to the Chairman to re-include the special provision for financing asr-001474 02:12:47.800 --> 02:12:52.400 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and for foreign and domestic financing. asr-001475 02:12:52.760 --> 02:12:53.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Thank you, Your Honor. asr-001476 02:12:53.500 --> 02:12:56.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: In the same way that we did not trigger this, Your Honor, asr-001477 02:12:56.380 --> 02:13:03.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we did not obligate the full amount of the 50 billion modernization asr-001478 02:13:03.340 --> 02:13:10.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because it will result in a payable of more than the 50 billion this year to about 80. asr-001479 02:13:10.420 --> 02:13:13.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So you're also very conservative in triggering that, Your Honor. asr-001480 02:13:14.400 --> 02:13:15.240 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you, Secretary. asr-001481 02:13:15.580 --> 02:13:17.920 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And I'm sure kayo, being a finance guy before, asr-001482 02:13:18.560 --> 02:13:23.500 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: kabisado nyo yung mga ganitong impact to our balance sheet. asr-001483 02:13:24.200 --> 02:13:24.280 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yeah. asr-001484 02:13:24.280 --> 02:13:26.280 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'll go to... asr-001485 02:13:26.380 --> 02:13:28.540 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: A related item. asr-001486 02:13:28.720 --> 02:13:32.060 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: This is on modernization, Secretary. asr-001487 02:13:32.060 --> 02:13:42.060 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And this has been a really challenging activity of appropriation asr-001488 02:13:42.780 --> 02:13:44.760 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: because malaking amount siya. asr-001489 02:13:45.840 --> 02:13:55.060 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And last year, there was an allocation in the unprogrammed funds of... asr-001490 02:13:56.380 --> 02:13:57.820 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 50 billion. asr-001491 02:13:58.840 --> 02:14:03.420 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And na-trigger ba itong unprogrammed funds? asr-001492 02:14:03.420 --> 02:14:06.900 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I just want to understand whether it has been triggered. asr-001493 02:14:07.020 --> 02:14:09.920 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Normally yan, nasa dulo na third, fourth quarter. asr-001494 02:14:10.120 --> 02:14:10.420 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I'm not... asr-001495 02:14:11.500 --> 02:14:18.420 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: The rationale there is lower down the line items in the unprogrammed asr-001496 02:14:18.940 --> 02:14:21.440 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: para ma-prioritize ka agad yung modernization asr-001497 02:14:21.440 --> 02:14:24.440 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and ma-trigger at mabigay ka agad sa AFP yung ano. asr-001498 02:14:24.500 --> 02:14:26.340 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But I want to get an update whether na-trigger asr-001499 02:14:26.380 --> 02:14:27.300 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ho siya o hindi. asr-001500 02:14:27.720 --> 02:14:32.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your Honor, in the same manner as we did not trigger the other items, asr-001501 02:14:32.680 --> 02:14:38.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because it would balloon the modernization payables alone for this year, asr-001502 02:14:38.300 --> 02:14:39.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we did not trigger the unprogrammed. asr-001503 02:14:39.960 --> 02:14:44.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we could not trigger it because the total of the amount, asr-001504 02:14:44.980 --> 02:14:45.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: both programmed and unprogrammed, asr-001505 02:14:47.360 --> 02:14:52.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: probably would be the full amount of regular modernization infra asr-001506 02:14:52.580 --> 02:14:55.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: just to pay the obligations. asr-001507 02:14:56.380 --> 02:14:56.900 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Okay. asr-001508 02:14:57.240 --> 02:14:59.920 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, in other words, it's a... asr-001509 02:14:59.920 --> 02:15:05.820 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: available, but the timing is not favorable? asr-001510 02:15:06.480 --> 02:15:06.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, Your Honor. asr-001511 02:15:07.180 --> 02:15:09.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We obligated 84%. asr-001512 02:15:09.620 --> 02:15:15.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The 12% trigger would cause us to exceed the 50 billion threshold. asr-001513 02:15:16.320 --> 02:15:20.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Actually, our payable for MICA this year would be about 70, right? asr-001514 02:15:22.800 --> 02:15:23.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 50. asr-001515 02:15:23.560 --> 02:15:26.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But if we trigger the 12%, it will be about 70. asr-001516 02:15:26.840 --> 02:15:28.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: That is the constraint, Your Honor. asr-001517 02:15:28.500 --> 02:15:28.800 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Okay. asr-001518 02:15:28.800 --> 02:15:31.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: That's why we're not triggering the 12%. asr-001519 02:15:31.880 --> 02:15:34.520 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And because what you said earlier, it's a seller's market. asr-001520 02:15:34.900 --> 02:15:35.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, Your Honor. asr-001521 02:15:35.580 --> 02:15:37.000 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, mahal ang equipment ngayon? asr-001522 02:15:38.660 --> 02:15:41.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Mahal po ang equipment at pamahal pa ng pamahal asr-001523 02:15:41.760 --> 02:15:47.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because even the raw material inputs sa equipment ay umaakyat po. asr-001524 02:15:47.440 --> 02:15:55.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Critical minerals, semiconductors, electronics, bakal, copper, asr-001525 02:15:55.480 --> 02:15:58.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: other inputs, lumalaki. asr-001526 02:15:58.800 --> 02:16:01.200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, with what's happening around the world right now, asr-001527 02:16:01.240 --> 02:16:01.940 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: yung mga conflicts, asr-001528 02:16:02.660 --> 02:16:05.740 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: ang impact niyan is yung presyo ng equipment. asr-001529 02:16:06.640 --> 02:16:08.000 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Tumataas siya at this time. asr-001530 02:16:08.020 --> 02:16:09.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Opo, at saka yung demand po mataas. asr-001531 02:16:10.300 --> 02:16:12.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, yung presyo po umaakyat. asr-001532 02:16:13.080 --> 02:16:18.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kasi doon lang po sa munitions, asr-001533 02:16:18.460 --> 02:16:20.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which is not an item of modernization. asr-001534 02:16:20.680 --> 02:16:26.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For 105 and 155 mm ammunition, asr-001535 02:16:27.920 --> 02:16:28.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: bumibigyan. asr-001536 02:16:28.800 --> 02:16:31.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Bumibili pa po sa secondary market kung may countries asr-001537 02:16:31.740 --> 02:16:33.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: na pwede magbenta ng stock nila asr-001538 02:16:33.820 --> 02:16:38.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: para masupply lang doon sa Ukraine or other countries. asr-001539 02:16:40.180 --> 02:16:42.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Or sa Israel, actually. asr-001540 02:16:43.240 --> 02:16:44.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Bumibili nung araw po. asr-001541 02:16:45.440 --> 02:16:50.480 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So, complicated itong situation natin when it comes to defense equipment. asr-001542 02:16:50.720 --> 02:16:51.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kasi po... asr-001543 02:16:51.560 --> 02:16:53.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Interrelated itong mga conflicts to us. asr-001544 02:16:54.680 --> 02:16:56.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Historically po, after... asr-001545 02:16:56.860 --> 02:16:57.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: After... asr-001546 02:16:58.800 --> 02:17:01.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: After the fall of the Berlin Wall, asr-001547 02:17:03.300 --> 02:17:08.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in-scale down po yung tooling of production for defense equipment worldwide. asr-001548 02:17:08.900 --> 02:17:09.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Lalo na po sa Europe. asr-001549 02:17:11.080 --> 02:17:14.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, ngayon, humahabol pa po sila sa capacity asr-001550 02:17:14.060 --> 02:17:19.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: just to supply Ukraine insofar as the EU is concerned. asr-001551 02:17:19.180 --> 02:17:22.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, wala pa po sila sa full capacity. asr-001552 02:17:22.840 --> 02:17:24.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Actually po, ang... asr-001553 02:17:24.920 --> 02:17:28.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: ang Germany po ay... asr-001554 02:17:28.800 --> 02:17:34.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: If I'm not mistaken, 500 billion euro ang kanyang modernization. asr-001555 02:17:34.480 --> 02:17:42.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Hindi pa niya na uubos po kasi wala pong capacity to produce pa ang kanyang bansa. asr-001556 02:17:43.740 --> 02:17:47.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, it is also a question po of availability asr-001557 02:17:47.060 --> 02:17:51.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because of limited lines of production. asr-001558 02:17:52.040 --> 02:17:55.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because of the scale down of defense equipment. asr-001559 02:17:55.680 --> 02:17:57.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The only country, Your Honor, asr-001560 02:17:58.800 --> 02:18:03.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in our environment, asr-001561 02:18:04.060 --> 02:18:06.200 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in our like-minded environment, asr-001562 02:18:06.700 --> 02:18:11.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: that is equipped but not totally equipped asr-001563 02:18:11.420 --> 02:18:17.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to supply 100% of its clients' demands is Korea. asr-001564 02:18:17.420 --> 02:18:23.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Which is why we have a comprehensive strategic partnership with them asr-001565 02:18:23.860 --> 02:18:26.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and joint development with them. asr-001566 02:18:27.480 --> 02:18:28.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: They were the only ones... asr-001567 02:18:28.640 --> 02:18:28.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: They were the only ones... asr-001568 02:18:28.660 --> 02:18:29.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: They were the only ones, Your Honor, asr-001569 02:18:29.460 --> 02:18:35.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: never to slow down their production and industrial base asr-001570 02:18:35.060 --> 02:18:37.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: for producing defense equipment. asr-001571 02:18:38.480 --> 02:18:40.260 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Ngayon kasi, ano talaga eh. asr-001572 02:18:40.380 --> 02:18:42.220 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I mean, you can see it in the news na asr-001573 02:18:42.220 --> 02:18:46.780 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: parang buong mundo. asr-001574 02:18:48.400 --> 02:18:50.560 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Something's happening in different parts of the region asr-001575 02:18:50.560 --> 02:18:55.080 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and definitely a lot of countries now are stocking up, asr-001576 02:18:55.600 --> 02:18:58.640 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: modernizing, increasing their capabilities, asr-001577 02:18:58.660 --> 02:19:03.220 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: and, of course, for us who are also modernizing, asr-001578 02:19:03.420 --> 02:19:07.400 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: it's with very, very limited resources, asr-001579 02:19:08.020 --> 02:19:11.200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: impacted tayo with those conflicts. asr-001580 02:19:11.660 --> 02:19:14.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your Honor, may I point out also in ASEAN, for example, asr-001581 02:19:15.620 --> 02:19:19.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Indonesia has ordered 47 new fighters, asr-001582 02:19:21.240 --> 02:19:27.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the top-of-the-line Rafales from France. asr-001583 02:19:27.100 --> 02:19:28.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Malaysia is... asr-001584 02:19:28.660 --> 02:19:32.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It's continuing to expand its capabilities. asr-001585 02:19:33.260 --> 02:19:35.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Actually, they had the missile defense contract asr-001586 02:19:35.580 --> 02:19:38.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which was canceled by, I believe, Finland asr-001587 02:19:38.160 --> 02:19:42.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because they needed to recommit it somewhere else. asr-001588 02:19:42.720 --> 02:19:43.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I'm not sure... asr-001589 02:19:43.660 --> 02:19:45.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: No, it's Norway, I think. asr-001590 02:19:46.020 --> 02:19:50.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Even Brunei is buying what we heard asr-001591 02:19:50.320 --> 02:19:53.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: is that they are acquiring their first F-50s. asr-001592 02:19:54.580 --> 02:19:58.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So everybody within the region is really building up asr-001593 02:19:58.120 --> 02:19:58.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: its own... asr-001594 02:19:58.500 --> 02:19:59.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Its own capabilities. asr-001595 02:20:00.220 --> 02:20:03.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Of course, the outlier there is Singapore asr-001596 02:20:03.400 --> 02:20:05.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because it has always done so asr-001597 02:20:05.060 --> 02:20:09.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: from day one of its creation, Your Honor. asr-001598 02:20:10.480 --> 02:20:11.900 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Secretary, is this a... asr-001599 02:20:11.900 --> 02:20:13.380 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: From a policy point of view, asr-001600 02:20:13.480 --> 02:20:15.780 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: is this a signal that the whole... asr-001601 02:20:15.780 --> 02:20:18.460 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the entire world right now is changing asr-001602 02:20:18.460 --> 02:20:21.620 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in terms of their mindset on defense? asr-001603 02:20:22.300 --> 02:20:22.440 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Yes. asr-001604 02:20:22.440 --> 02:20:27.360 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Because it's becoming more volatile in our region, asr-001605 02:20:27.540 --> 02:20:28.360 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: definitely our regions, asr-001606 02:20:28.500 --> 02:20:29.380 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: becoming more volatile, asr-001607 02:20:29.600 --> 02:20:32.260 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: as we can see in the West Philippine Sea. asr-001608 02:20:32.480 --> 02:20:33.980 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: But in the other parts of the world, asr-001609 02:20:34.040 --> 02:20:35.100 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: it's also doing the same. asr-001610 02:20:35.840 --> 02:20:36.940 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I think, Your Honor, asr-001611 02:20:37.180 --> 02:20:39.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it's not only a question of volatility asr-001612 02:20:39.720 --> 02:20:42.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which you will need to deter and to address, asr-001613 02:20:42.580 --> 02:20:46.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: but a question also of long-term resilience. asr-001614 02:20:47.200 --> 02:20:50.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Many countries do not want to be faced with a situation asr-001615 02:20:50.720 --> 02:20:53.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: where they will not be able to deter asr-001616 02:20:53.900 --> 02:20:57.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: with the basic capability and weight, asr-001617 02:20:58.500 --> 02:21:04.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: or rely totally on an organization asr-001618 02:21:04.800 --> 02:21:08.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: or a conglomeration of countries to come to your aid. asr-001619 02:21:09.440 --> 02:21:12.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: If at all it comes to that, asr-001620 02:21:12.260 --> 02:21:16.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: you will still have to wait for some period of time asr-001621 02:21:16.120 --> 02:21:17.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: before help comes. asr-001622 02:21:18.300 --> 02:21:21.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: That's why you have to build up that basic amount of resilience asr-001623 02:21:21.460 --> 02:21:24.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to survive in the meantime. asr-001624 02:21:25.220 --> 02:21:27.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But most importantly, Your Honor, asr-001625 02:21:27.880 --> 02:21:28.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it is also... asr-001626 02:21:28.500 --> 02:21:36.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It is also a reality that a more robust defense setup asr-001627 02:21:36.680 --> 02:21:40.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: deters aggressive actions against... asr-001628 02:21:40.800 --> 02:21:44.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And it is a deterrent to aggressive actions and to conflict. asr-001629 02:21:47.440 --> 02:21:50.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: More importantly than the need to use it, asr-001630 02:21:51.040 --> 02:21:58.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it is a warning to make an aggressor have a second thought. asr-001631 02:21:58.500 --> 02:22:01.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Before it even attempts to do so. asr-001632 02:22:02.220 --> 02:22:03.840 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Parang yun yung sinasabi ni Trump, asr-001633 02:22:04.960 --> 02:22:06.800 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: peace through strength. asr-001634 02:22:07.520 --> 02:22:08.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yes, Your Honor. asr-001635 02:22:08.360 --> 02:22:09.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It's just like, you know, asr-001636 02:22:09.280 --> 02:22:11.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: building a high fence in your house, asr-001637 02:22:11.100 --> 02:22:15.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it deters people from coming in. asr-001638 02:22:15.560 --> 02:22:16.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It's the same way. asr-001639 02:22:17.440 --> 02:22:18.300 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you, Mr. Secretary. asr-001640 02:22:18.600 --> 02:22:20.060 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: I'll go to Mr. Chairman. asr-001641 02:22:20.200 --> 02:22:21.140 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Do you have any... asr-001642 02:22:21.140 --> 02:22:24.880 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, si Senator Tulfo wants to interject asr-001643 02:22:24.880 --> 02:22:27.300 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: with your indulgence, Senate President. asr-001644 02:22:28.500 --> 02:22:30.420 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Yes, Mr. Secretary, asr-001645 02:22:30.620 --> 02:22:33.240 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: with the indulgence, of course, of our Senate President. asr-001646 02:22:36.180 --> 02:22:38.980 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Sa arap po ng mga pahayag lately po asr-001647 02:22:38.980 --> 02:22:41.240 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: ng ambasador po ng China asr-001648 02:22:41.240 --> 02:22:44.960 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: at ito patuloy po na tensyon sa West Philippine Sea, asr-001649 02:22:46.000 --> 02:22:48.920 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: ano po ang kongkretong paghanda po asr-001650 02:22:48.920 --> 02:22:51.400 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: or pwedeng ihanda ng Armed Forces of the Philippines asr-001651 02:22:51.400 --> 02:22:53.580 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: para maprotektahan po ating teritoryo, asr-001652 02:22:54.500 --> 02:22:56.020 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: mga sundalo at mga mamayan asr-001653 02:22:56.020 --> 02:22:57.620 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: sa kabila po ng... asr-001654 02:22:58.500 --> 02:23:00.160 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: mindset asr-001655 02:23:00.160 --> 02:23:02.180 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: na naitatag asr-001656 02:23:02.180 --> 02:23:03.540 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: ng mga dating opisyal asr-001657 02:23:03.540 --> 02:23:05.980 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: na isang nuklear lang asr-001658 02:23:05.980 --> 02:23:07.580 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: sasabog na tayo, asr-001659 02:23:08.140 --> 02:23:09.640 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: na lulusubin tayo, asr-001660 02:23:09.640 --> 02:23:11.040 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: na dudurugin tayo. asr-001661 02:23:11.580 --> 02:23:13.520 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Wala naman po tayong ginagawa, di ba? asr-001662 02:23:13.740 --> 02:23:15.660 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Na pag-umalma tayo. asr-001663 02:23:15.960 --> 02:23:17.180 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: So, yung mga tao naman, asr-001664 02:23:18.140 --> 02:23:19.160 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: kagad sinasabi, asr-001665 02:23:19.460 --> 02:23:20.320 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: magagawa natin, asr-001666 02:23:20.600 --> 02:23:21.640 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: bubombahin tayo, asr-001667 02:23:21.720 --> 02:23:22.340 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: gegyarahin, asr-001668 02:23:22.400 --> 02:23:24.960 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: because of these pronouncements before asr-001669 02:23:24.960 --> 02:23:27.080 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: ng mga officials natin, asr-001670 02:23:27.160 --> 02:23:27.640 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: na parang tumatakot, asr-001671 02:23:28.500 --> 02:23:30.220 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: tatak na sa isipan ng mga kababayan natin, asr-001672 02:23:30.360 --> 02:23:31.840 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: huwag na lang po tayo magsalita, asr-001673 02:23:31.940 --> 02:23:33.700 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: nakakatakot, kawawa tayo. asr-001674 02:23:35.020 --> 02:23:36.700 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Tapos itong recently pa, asr-001675 02:23:37.760 --> 02:23:39.760 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: na pailan daw po sila asr-001676 02:23:39.760 --> 02:23:42.160 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: ng persona non grata, asr-001677 02:23:42.880 --> 02:23:44.260 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: then yung mga opisyal natin, asr-001678 02:23:44.440 --> 02:23:46.140 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: hindi nila tatanggapin doon. asr-001679 02:23:46.720 --> 02:23:48.260 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Yung mga opisyal naman siguro na ito, asr-001680 02:23:48.340 --> 02:23:49.940 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: I'm sure, wala naman silang interest asr-001681 02:23:49.940 --> 02:23:51.680 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: din na pumunta ho doon sa lugar na yun. asr-001682 02:23:52.240 --> 02:23:54.480 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Pero, what kind of preparations are you doing now asr-001683 02:23:54.480 --> 02:23:56.100 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: to counter this, asr-001684 02:23:56.100 --> 02:23:58.240 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: to allay the fears, asr-001685 02:23:58.500 --> 02:23:59.180 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: of the public, asr-001686 02:23:59.640 --> 02:24:00.940 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: na bubombahin tayo, asr-001687 02:24:01.100 --> 02:24:03.940 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: nuklear, dodorogin, etc., etc.? asr-001688 02:24:03.940 --> 02:24:04.660 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Mr. Secretary? asr-001689 02:24:05.900 --> 02:24:07.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Unang-una po talagang, asr-001690 02:24:07.540 --> 02:24:09.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we're trying our best really asr-001691 02:24:09.740 --> 02:24:12.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to work not only singly, asr-001692 02:24:13.080 --> 02:24:16.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: pero with our other allies asr-001693 02:24:16.120 --> 02:24:21.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to deter any more aggressive physical actions asr-001694 02:24:21.320 --> 02:24:24.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: on a military sense by China. asr-001695 02:24:24.300 --> 02:24:27.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And it is not only a threat to us, asr-001696 02:24:28.500 --> 02:24:29.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it is also a threat to Vietnam, asr-001697 02:24:30.380 --> 02:24:30.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to Malaysia, asr-001698 02:24:31.280 --> 02:24:34.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and to Brunei, asr-001699 02:24:35.100 --> 02:24:37.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and a threat to Japan, asr-001700 02:24:37.180 --> 02:24:41.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: where their actions are equally aggressive, asr-001701 02:24:41.480 --> 02:24:44.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: not to the extent that we are facing asr-001702 02:24:44.500 --> 02:24:46.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because of the proximity of asr-001703 02:24:46.900 --> 02:24:51.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 800 kilometers away from China asr-001704 02:24:51.780 --> 02:24:56.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to the shores of Palawan asr-001705 02:24:56.840 --> 02:24:58.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in the West Philippines, asr-001706 02:24:58.500 --> 02:25:00.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and South China Sea area, asr-001707 02:25:00.780 --> 02:25:03.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: pero sa haba po ng ating asr-001708 02:25:03.740 --> 02:25:07.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: boundary sa Pacific Ocean. asr-001709 02:25:07.180 --> 02:25:09.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, ang kanila pong behavior, asr-001710 02:25:09.740 --> 02:25:11.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: hindi lang po sa atin, asr-001711 02:25:11.500 --> 02:25:12.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: kahit po sa India, asr-001712 02:25:12.660 --> 02:25:15.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: may inaakuna naman sila na lupain. asr-001713 02:25:15.340 --> 02:25:17.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, pati po ang India, asr-001714 02:25:17.500 --> 02:25:21.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: meron na silang karanasan asr-001715 02:25:21.500 --> 02:25:25.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: na nagka border conflict na ilang beses, asr-001716 02:25:25.500 --> 02:25:28.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: nagiging mas agresibo po sila. asr-001717 02:25:28.380 --> 02:25:30.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, it stands to reason asr-001718 02:25:30.880 --> 02:25:35.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: na although may individual response tayo asr-001719 02:25:35.120 --> 02:25:35.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: na dependent, asr-001720 02:25:36.820 --> 02:25:39.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: actually more than response po, asr-001721 02:25:39.320 --> 02:25:41.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: ang ating dapat gawin asr-001722 02:25:41.500 --> 02:25:42.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: is to build deterrence. asr-001723 02:25:43.840 --> 02:25:45.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Magdalawang isip muna, asr-001724 02:25:45.500 --> 02:25:46.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: kahit sino, asr-001725 02:25:46.900 --> 02:25:47.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: kahit sino, asr-001726 02:25:48.280 --> 02:25:49.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: bago tayo guluhin. asr-001727 02:25:50.400 --> 02:25:53.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kasi maaari nating pasakitin ang ulo nila. asr-001728 02:25:53.460 --> 02:25:55.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: At it's not worth it at the end of the day. asr-001729 02:25:56.660 --> 02:25:57.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pero, asr-001730 02:25:57.100 --> 02:25:57.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: so, asr-001731 02:25:57.220 --> 02:26:01.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: habang ginagawa po natin yan, asr-001732 02:26:01.220 --> 02:26:06.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: a collective deterrence is necessary po. asr-001733 02:26:08.220 --> 02:26:11.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Even with Russia po na napakalakas eh, asr-001734 02:26:11.220 --> 02:26:13.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: hindi niya kinaya yung Ukraine asr-001735 02:26:13.220 --> 02:26:17.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: kung walang tulong ang North Korea at saka China sa kanya. asr-001736 02:26:17.220 --> 02:26:20.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, ano pa kaya tayo na mas maliit? asr-001737 02:26:20.220 --> 02:26:24.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kaya nga po ang mga alyansa natin ay asr-001738 02:26:24.220 --> 02:26:27.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: pinagtitibay natin na mabilis. asr-001739 02:26:27.220 --> 02:26:29.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: At yan ay ayaw ng China. asr-001740 02:26:30.220 --> 02:26:33.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kasi siya ang outlier dito eh. asr-001741 02:26:33.220 --> 02:26:34.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Ang outlier po, asr-001742 02:26:34.220 --> 02:26:36.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: kasi siyang nagliklaim ng, asr-001743 02:26:36.220 --> 02:26:38.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: walang ibang nagliklaim sa buong mundo, asr-001744 02:26:38.220 --> 02:26:40.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: yung nine-dash line po niya. asr-001745 02:26:40.220 --> 02:26:42.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: At hindi lang po yan eh. asr-001746 02:26:42.220 --> 02:26:45.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kung pumayag tayo ng nine-dash line ngayon, asr-001747 02:26:46.220 --> 02:26:47.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: eto na nga, asr-001748 02:26:47.220 --> 02:26:48.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: pati Batanes po, asr-001749 02:26:48.220 --> 02:26:50.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: sinasama na po nila yan. asr-001750 02:26:50.220 --> 02:26:52.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Baka hanggang, asr-001751 02:26:52.220 --> 02:26:56.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: hanggang kusaan lupalop na umabot ang mga claims nila. asr-001752 02:26:56.220 --> 02:26:57.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, asr-001753 02:26:59.220 --> 02:27:01.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we are trying our best asr-001754 02:27:01.220 --> 02:27:03.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: given fiscal constraints asr-001755 02:27:03.220 --> 02:27:05.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: at nakikita naman po natin, asr-001756 02:27:06.220 --> 02:27:07.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Senator, asr-001757 02:27:07.220 --> 02:27:10.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: na 100% ang accomplishment asr-001758 02:27:10.220 --> 02:27:12.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: ng territorial defense. asr-001759 02:27:12.220 --> 02:27:14.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pero sinasabi ko na na asr-001760 02:27:15.220 --> 02:27:16.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: hindi sustainable to. asr-001761 02:27:16.220 --> 02:27:18.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kasi yung 100% accomplishment, asr-001762 02:27:18.220 --> 02:27:21.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: lagi dapat may gap yan for reserves eh. asr-001763 02:27:21.220 --> 02:27:23.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kung sagad-sagad po, asr-001764 02:27:23.220 --> 02:27:25.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: mauubusan po ng gasolina yan. asr-001765 02:27:25.000 --> 02:27:27.680 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Figuratively, one asr-001766 02:27:27.680 --> 02:27:28.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: day. asr-001767 02:27:28.440 --> 02:27:30.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So we have to build that space asr-001768 02:27:30.220 --> 02:27:31.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: on asr-001769 02:27:31.220 --> 02:27:33.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the dimensional size asr-001770 02:27:33.220 --> 02:27:34.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and notional asr-001771 02:27:34.220 --> 02:27:35.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: size of asr-001772 02:27:35.220 --> 02:27:37.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: our operations. I asr-001773 02:27:37.220 --> 02:27:38.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: get the point that asr-001774 02:27:38.220 --> 02:27:39.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the public asr-001775 02:27:39.220 --> 02:27:41.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: is also worried asr-001776 02:27:41.220 --> 02:27:42.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: as to asr-001777 02:27:42.220 --> 02:27:54.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the ability of the armed forces to defend and protect them. That is why all our actions are calibrated in a manner which we can sustain and not to asr-001778 02:27:54.260 --> 02:27:56.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: go beyond an unsustainable asr-001779 02:27:56.080 --> 02:27:58.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: manner or asr-001780 02:27:58.100 --> 02:28:00.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: an irresponsible manner for asr-001781 02:28:00.080 --> 02:28:01.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: that matter. asr-001782 02:28:02.080 --> 02:28:02.710 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Thank you, Your Honor. asr-001782-split-2 02:28:02.710 --> 02:28:04.120 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Kasi, Secretary, the mindset asr-001783 02:28:04.120 --> 02:28:06.780 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: was, gigirahin tayo. asr-001784 02:28:06.900 --> 02:28:07.520 Senator Erwin T.

Tulfo: Pag tayo, asr-001787 02:28:12.320 --> 02:28:14.060 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: we stand up against China. asr-001788 02:28:14.060 --> 02:28:15.920 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: I'm not saying naggirahin natin dahil asr-001789 02:28:15.920 --> 02:28:18.280 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: truly, wala namang tayong capability asr-001790 02:28:18.280 --> 02:28:19.720 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: but then standing up, asr-001791 02:28:20.160 --> 02:28:22.060 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: I mean, holding our line, asr-001792 02:28:22.500 --> 02:28:24.060 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: hindi naman siguro tayo bubombahin asr-001793 02:28:24.060 --> 02:28:25.800 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: kasi sabi po na iba, asr-001794 02:28:25.900 --> 02:28:28.200 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: bubombahin tayo. Tapos, would you agree asr-001795 02:28:28.200 --> 02:28:29.940 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: with me, sir, na nakumukuha asr-001796 02:28:29.940 --> 02:28:31.660 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: ng lakas ng loob itong China because asr-001797 02:28:31.660 --> 02:28:34.020 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: there is some officials in this land asr-001798 02:28:34.020 --> 02:28:35.860 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: they're saying na tayo, parang tayo pa asr-001799 02:28:35.860 --> 02:28:38.200 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: ang may kasalanan and then supportado asr-001800 02:28:38.200 --> 02:28:39.740 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: sila ng isang grupo, probably asr-001801 02:28:39.740 --> 02:28:42.160 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: grupo ng mga trolls. Could that be the reason asr-001802 02:28:42.160 --> 02:28:43.840 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: kaya lumalakas ang loob po asr-001803 02:28:43.840 --> 02:28:46.520 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: ng Chinese ambassador, Mr. Secretary? asr-001804 02:28:46.940 --> 02:28:48.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Maari pong isa na sa asr-001805 02:28:48.080 --> 02:28:50.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: rason yan kasi the best asr-001806 02:28:50.340 --> 02:28:52.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: way to weaken asr-001807 02:28:52.360 --> 02:28:53.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: your enemy is to asr-001808 02:28:53.760 --> 02:28:55.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: foment internal dissension asr-001809 02:28:55.880 --> 02:28:59.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in an area asr-001810 02:28:59.120 --> 02:29:00.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which you want to asr-001811 02:29:00.300 --> 02:29:01.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: compromise asr-001812 02:29:01.780 --> 02:29:04.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: or to co-opt. Maari pong asr-001813 02:29:04.320 --> 02:29:06.060 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: malakas na dahilan yan asr-001814 02:29:06.060 --> 02:29:08.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: at actually asr-001815 02:29:08.120 --> 02:29:10.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the asr-001816 02:29:10.100 --> 02:29:12.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: gaslighting asr-001817 02:29:12.340 --> 02:29:13.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: is one of the worst asr-001818 02:29:13.520 --> 02:29:15.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: things that asr-001819 02:29:15.080 --> 02:29:16.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we can asr-001820 02:29:16.660 --> 02:29:20.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: experience at this time. asr-001821 02:29:21.260 --> 02:29:22.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Lalo-lalo na po asr-001822 02:29:22.180 --> 02:29:23.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in the face of asr-001823 02:29:23.760 --> 02:29:25.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: a blatant statement asr-001824 02:29:25.400 --> 02:29:27.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: by the Chinese ambassador, pag may asr-001825 02:29:27.460 --> 02:29:29.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: nagtatanggol pa dyan, talagang asr-001826 02:29:29.320 --> 02:29:31.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: halatang-halatana naman ho na asr-001827 02:29:31.160 --> 02:29:36.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: hindi po asr-001828 02:29:36.460 --> 02:29:37.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: makatwiran asr-001829 02:29:37.760 --> 02:29:39.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: ang kanilang posisyon. asr-001830 02:29:39.600 --> 02:29:41.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pero meron po talaga, we cannot deny it. asr-001831 02:29:44.480 --> 02:29:45.440 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, before asr-001832 02:29:45.440 --> 02:29:48.160 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Senator Lackson asr-001833 02:29:48.160 --> 02:29:49.980 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: would like to interject. asr-001834 02:29:50.220 --> 02:29:51.680 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: With his permission, Mr. Chairman, asr-001835 02:29:51.680 --> 02:29:53.680 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: there seems to be a glaring discussion asr-001836 02:29:53.760 --> 02:29:54.760 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: about the disparity asr-001837 02:29:54.760 --> 02:29:56.440 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: on our defense spending asr-001838 02:29:56.440 --> 02:29:58.440 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: compared to our regional peers, asr-001839 02:29:58.440 --> 02:30:00.260 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: particularly China. asr-001840 02:30:01.120 --> 02:30:06.880 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Kasi yung kanilang defense expenditure is 52 times ng Pilipinas. asr-001841 02:30:07.220 --> 02:30:13.100 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Sa kanila, 335 billion US dollars or roughly 2.1 trillion pesos. asr-001842 02:30:14.560 --> 02:30:20.460 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: So how do we compensate? How do we do a David against a Goliath in this regard? asr-001843 02:30:21.040 --> 02:30:23.540 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Kasi wala naman tayo magagawa except mag-improvise, hindi ba? asr-001844 02:30:24.300 --> 02:30:27.060 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: So meron ba tayong plano man lang? asr-001845 02:30:27.060 --> 02:30:31.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Sir, the best way is to make ourselves an uninviting target. asr-001846 02:30:32.600 --> 02:30:43.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The hard part there is that an uninviting target would mean only our land domain, asr-001847 02:30:43.740 --> 02:30:51.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which is only 20% of our total territory, 20 to 30%. asr-001848 02:30:51.440 --> 02:30:56.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: However, for the land domain to be resilient, we need full expansion. asr-001849 02:30:57.060 --> 02:31:01.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Exploitation and exploration of the 80% maritime domain. asr-001850 02:31:02.760 --> 02:31:05.860 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So yun ho ang nagpapakomplicate ng situation. asr-001851 02:31:06.560 --> 02:31:14.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Pero I believe ho that with the X billion reported by China, asr-001852 02:31:14.600 --> 02:31:19.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: this is even understated because a lot of the budget does not go to the PLA asr-001853 02:31:19.980 --> 02:31:25.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: but to the maritime militia, the Coast Guard, which are basically under the PLA. asr-001854 02:31:25.880 --> 02:31:29.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But not officially reported. asr-001855 02:31:30.040 --> 02:31:37.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So there is no substitute ho but to build a level of resilience asr-001856 02:31:37.480 --> 02:31:41.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which will make it very unattractive for them. asr-001857 02:31:41.120 --> 02:31:48.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: There are ways ho and we can also in executive sessions share some thoughts on it, Your Honors. asr-001858 02:31:49.600 --> 02:31:55.180 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Can I see how we can match China, for example, sa mga warships, missiles? asr-001859 02:31:55.180 --> 02:31:55.760 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Wala tayo. asr-001860 02:31:55.880 --> 02:31:57.120 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Wala tayong verwidal. asr-001861 02:31:57.640 --> 02:31:59.260 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Let's accept the fact. asr-001862 02:31:59.880 --> 02:32:01.160 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: So kailan mag-improvise tayo. asr-001863 02:32:01.800 --> 02:32:06.680 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Like what Ukraine is doing against Russia, for lack of a better analogy, asr-001864 02:32:07.560 --> 02:32:14.180 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: baka we should also embark on a similar program na less costly pero effective. asr-001865 02:32:15.180 --> 02:32:15.800 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: And we can match. asr-001866 02:32:15.860 --> 02:32:22.040 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Aside from, of course, our alliances, mutual defense treaties, yung ating SOPA, asr-001867 02:32:22.040 --> 02:32:25.040 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: and sabi nyo nga kanina, yung kapapasalamang na treaties, asr-001868 02:32:25.880 --> 02:32:27.320 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: treaty with France. asr-001869 02:32:27.960 --> 02:32:33.000 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: So aside from that, but we cannot solely rely on our allies. asr-001870 02:32:33.280 --> 02:32:37.160 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Kasi they have their own national interests to contend with. asr-001871 02:32:37.280 --> 02:32:38.820 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: In the first place, yung France, medyo magulo. asr-001872 02:32:39.800 --> 02:32:46.400 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: So kailan mag-improvise tayo and I hope we are on the same page on this. asr-001873 02:32:46.560 --> 02:32:47.880 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: We cannot just divulge. asr-001874 02:32:48.360 --> 02:32:50.140 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: Yung ongoing programs natin. asr-001875 02:32:50.240 --> 02:32:53.340 Senator Panfilo "Ping" M. Lacson: But I was told that there is such a program. asr-001876 02:32:53.640 --> 02:32:54.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Meron, sir. asr-001877 02:32:54.120 --> 02:32:54.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Ongoing. asr-001878 02:32:54.560 --> 02:32:55.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Meron po. asr-001879 02:32:55.600 --> 02:33:11.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: At kaya po, mire-focus na natin si Director Amano sa higher capabilities na pwede natin gamitin based on Ukraine. asr-001880 02:33:11.960 --> 02:33:15.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Ang maganda din pong halimbawa dito ay yung Vietnamese experience. asr-001881 02:33:15.940 --> 02:33:25.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Na talagang matatag din ang tayo nila sa China. asr-001882 02:33:25.600 --> 02:33:29.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: At ginera na sila nung araw at hindi umubra. asr-001883 02:33:29.940 --> 02:33:38.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yun nga lang, iba talaga yung make-up ng Vietnamese society kesa sa atin. asr-001884 02:33:38.180 --> 02:33:40.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Sanay naman talaga sila sa... asr-001885 02:33:40.740 --> 02:33:42.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Yun ang balakid po sa atin. asr-001886 02:33:42.440 --> 02:33:47.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kaya kailangan ho its deterrence rather than retaliation. asr-001887 02:33:48.060 --> 02:33:50.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And that's why ho in our alliances, asr-001888 02:33:50.160 --> 02:33:55.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we are focusing on the non-retaliatory features of... asr-001889 02:33:55.600 --> 02:33:57.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: of our defense alliances. asr-001890 02:33:57.300 --> 02:34:03.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But focusing on the deterrence portion po. asr-001891 02:34:04.700 --> 02:34:09.040 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We will never match China in terms of pound-for-pound capability. asr-001892 02:34:09.040 --> 02:34:13.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But we will make the decision calculus as unfavorable to it as possible. asr-001893 02:34:14.260 --> 02:34:15.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C.

Tulfo: hindi po natin kaya bumili ng mga frigates and aircraft carriers, submarines. asr-001926 02:35:40.300 --> 02:35:43.660 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Then may options po tayo ng mga ikang mga drones. asr-001927 02:35:43.880 --> 02:35:45.040 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Sir, one last question. asr-001928 02:35:45.180 --> 02:35:45.740 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: I was just wondering, asr-001929 02:35:45.740 --> 02:35:49.760 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: may mga donations po tayo ng mga drones sa America, other countries. asr-001930 02:35:49.880 --> 02:35:51.280 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Whatever happened to these drones? asr-001931 02:35:51.380 --> 02:35:52.560 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Nagagamit po ba natin? asr-001932 02:35:53.540 --> 02:35:54.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Limited po ito. Sa asr-001933 02:35:54.740 --> 02:35:55.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: lahat po ng asr-001936 02:35:55.420 --> 02:35:56.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: dinownload nila, nagagamit. asr-001937 02:35:57.480 --> 02:36:00.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Ang iba pong hindi nagagamit, yung nabili nung araw, asr-001938 02:36:01.860 --> 02:36:13.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: na hindi po nag-fifit sa ating bagong C4 Command and Control Secure Communication Structures. asr-001939 02:36:14.960 --> 02:36:18.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, mula nung nagumpisa po tayong kumuha ng drones, asr-001940 02:36:19.920 --> 02:36:23.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: ang environment nun ay purely tactical. asr-001941 02:36:25.420 --> 02:36:29.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, sa ngayon po, nagiging strategic yung environment. asr-001942 02:36:29.660 --> 02:36:33.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kaya, kailangan po enhanced ang interoperability po nito. asr-001943 02:36:34.520 --> 02:36:37.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, that is where we are proceeding right now. asr-001944 02:36:38.080 --> 02:36:42.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: There are uses, ho, tactically for drones and they are being used. asr-001945 02:36:43.760 --> 02:36:48.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: However, for the bigger picture, ho, we need more multi-purpose drones asr-001946 02:36:48.000 --> 02:36:53.100 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and we need the facility for quality raw materials asr-001947 02:36:53.100 --> 02:36:55.000 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: for this and asr-001950 02:36:55.000 --> 02:36:57.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Actually, precision tooling for it. asr-001951 02:36:58.060 --> 02:37:00.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It's the precision, ho, na kailangan, eh. asr-001952 02:37:00.820 --> 02:37:05.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And, when we learn from the Korean experience, asr-001953 02:37:06.120 --> 02:37:09.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: ang kanilang modernization started in 1976 asr-001954 02:37:09.620 --> 02:37:16.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: when the United States said, hindi na nila susuportahan. asr-001955 02:37:16.160 --> 02:37:25.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But, the defense industry was only an offshoot of basic industry. asr-001958 02:37:25.360 --> 02:37:25.740 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your Honor. asr-001959 02:37:26.540 --> 02:37:31.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because they had basic industry already, asr-001960 02:37:31.740 --> 02:37:39.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which would support the ecosystem for sustainability in the defense industry. asr-001961 02:37:40.780 --> 02:37:45.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Steel, electronics, and other capabilities. asr-001962 02:37:45.500 --> 02:37:50.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: If we do not also remediate basic industry, Your Honor, asr-001963 02:37:50.900 --> 02:37:55.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: for example, the raw materials, secondly, power, asr-001964 02:37:55.280 --> 02:38:02.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we will be constrained to being an assembly location asr-001965 02:38:02.520 --> 02:38:09.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: also reliant on importation for our outputs. asr-001966 02:38:11.160 --> 02:38:14.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, we have to really structure it properly, Your Honor. asr-001967 02:38:16.100 --> 02:38:18.260 Senator Erwin T. Tulfo: Thank you, Secretary and Mr. Chair.

Teodoro Jr.: a strike package. asr-002041 02:40:43.600 --> 02:40:45.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And that needs a different asr-002042 02:40:45.780 --> 02:40:47.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: level of qualification. asr-002043 02:40:48.620 --> 02:40:49.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So two of asr-002044 02:40:49.880 --> 02:40:50.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: our asr-002045 02:40:50.640 --> 02:40:53.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: F-A-50 pilots, asr-002046 02:40:53.240 --> 02:40:55.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: our strike package asr-002047 02:40:55.820 --> 02:40:57.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: leaders, and more importantly, asr-002048 02:40:57.840 --> 02:40:59.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your Honor, which is asr-002049 02:40:59.400 --> 02:40:59.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: why asr-002050 02:40:59.800 --> 02:41:03.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the ecosystem is important. asr-002051 02:41:04.380 --> 02:41:05.420 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Everything was asr-002052 02:41:05.420 --> 02:41:06.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: controlled from the ground. asr-002053 02:41:07.340 --> 02:41:09.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: No voice anymore. It was all asr-002054 02:41:09.480 --> 02:41:11.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: keyboard. So asr-002055 02:41:11.320 --> 02:41:13.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we have graduated and asr-002056 02:41:13.560 --> 02:41:15.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: certified our first set asr-002057 02:41:15.600 --> 02:41:17.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: of battle managers that are asr-002058 02:41:17.520 --> 02:41:19.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: qualified to asr-002059 02:41:19.120 --> 02:41:20.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: orchestrate asr-002060 02:41:20.560 --> 02:41:23.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: international air operations. asr-002061 02:41:23.180 --> 02:41:25.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And the asr-002062 02:41:25.280 --> 02:41:27.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we will continue to deploy them asr-002063 02:41:27.320 --> 02:41:28.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: because we cannot allow them to asr-002064 02:41:28.760 --> 02:41:30.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: lose that proficiency. asr-002065 02:41:30.800 --> 02:41:33.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: It is a constant exercise. asr-002066 02:41:33.640 --> 02:41:34.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So that asr-002067 02:41:34.800 --> 02:41:36.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: that is another dimension, asr-002068 02:41:36.920 --> 02:41:39.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your Honor, our participation asr-002069 02:41:39.360 --> 02:41:41.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in foreign shores, asr-002070 02:41:41.180 --> 02:41:43.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which builds us the confidence asr-002071 02:41:43.300 --> 02:41:45.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: also of operating asr-002072 02:41:45.620 --> 02:41:48.620 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in an extended environment, asr-002073 02:41:48.620 --> 02:41:50.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: stretching also our logistics asr-002074 02:41:50.660 --> 02:41:52.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: capabilities. For example, Your Honor, asr-002075 02:41:52.800 --> 02:41:55.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in Australia, asr-002076 02:41:55.640 --> 02:41:58.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: we have to deploy about asr-002077 02:41:58.300 --> 02:42:00.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: 200 personnel and asr-002078 02:42:00.880 --> 02:42:03.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: support them. asr-002079 02:42:05.060 --> 02:42:07.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: And we asr-002080 02:42:07.640 --> 02:42:09.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: continue to gain asr-002081 02:42:09.280 --> 02:42:13.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: confidence and experience asr-002082 02:42:13.320 --> 02:42:14.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and knowledge asr-002083 02:42:14.800 --> 02:42:15.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: also asr-002084 02:42:15.780 --> 02:42:17.300 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: in these exercises. asr-002085 02:42:17.300 --> 02:42:19.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So when we operate asr-002086 02:42:19.520 --> 02:42:22.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: outside, even on VFA, asr-002087 02:42:22.160 --> 02:42:29.640 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We get to scope also the fit for a future VFA for us. asr-002088 02:42:30.020 --> 02:42:37.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: The Philippine Marine Corps also participates also in exercises abroad asr-002089 02:42:37.480 --> 02:42:46.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and I have been encouraging them to participate elsewhere with like environments asr-002090 02:42:46.820 --> 02:42:53.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: so that they can understand also better the operating environment asr-002091 02:42:53.340 --> 02:42:55.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and even the equipment, Your Honor. asr-002092 02:42:56.420 --> 02:43:03.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because we cannot hope to replicate our bigger country partners also in terms of deployment. asr-002093 02:43:03.460 --> 02:43:09.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: For example, one marine expeditionary unit of the United States for an exercise here, asr-002094 02:43:10.060 --> 02:43:12.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the pre-deployment is already almost a billion dollars. asr-002095 02:43:13.300 --> 02:43:16.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: We can never hope to approximate that. asr-002096 02:43:16.160 --> 02:43:24.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But nonetheless, there are partner, the doctrine of, they deploy in force. asr-002097 02:43:24.820 --> 02:43:31.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: They will never deploy in a force package that is less than their doctrine asr-002098 02:43:31.460 --> 02:43:34.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and that goes for the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy. asr-002099 02:43:35.220 --> 02:43:40.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: That's why a carrier, for example, Your Honor, is always a carrier group asr-002100 02:43:40.340 --> 02:43:46.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: which has its own air group, its own small country, asr-002101 02:43:46.160 --> 02:43:55.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: so it's also a question right now of scoping the best fit wherever in the world right now. asr-002102 02:43:56.220 --> 02:43:58.680 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Secretary, and you mentioned there are three more coming in. asr-002103 02:43:58.780 --> 02:44:02.920 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Are you at liberty to share with us kung sino pa yung mga... asr-002104 02:44:02.920 --> 02:44:06.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Negotiations are going on now, Your Honor, with the U.K. asr-002105 02:44:09.080 --> 02:44:11.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: With Germany, I think we're going to have one. asr-002106 02:44:11.540 --> 02:44:14.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But there is another country, Your Honor, where we sent a first draft asr-002107 02:44:14.900 --> 02:44:15.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and they would rather... asr-002108 02:44:16.160 --> 02:44:21.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I not disclose publicly until the process. asr-002109 02:44:21.500 --> 02:44:24.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But that third country is extremely important to us. asr-002110 02:44:25.320 --> 02:44:29.340 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: So bring us to how many SOVA treaties? asr-002111 02:44:30.620 --> 02:44:32.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So five plus three, eight, Your Honor. asr-002112 02:44:32.580 --> 02:44:33.120 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Eight na. asr-002113 02:44:33.220 --> 02:44:35.160 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Thank you, Secretary. asr-002114 02:44:36.640 --> 02:44:40.580 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Secretary, I'll go to some items in the 2026 budget asr-002115 02:44:40.580 --> 02:44:45.840 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: so we'll understand if we will continue this concept asr-002116 02:44:45.840 --> 02:44:46.140 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in the 2026 budget. asr-002119 02:44:46.200 --> 02:44:48.160 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In the 2027 budget... asr-002120 02:44:48.160 --> 02:44:52.120 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: In 2026, for locally funded infrastructure, asr-002121 02:44:52.940 --> 02:44:55.960 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mayron 6.9 billion pesos. asr-002122 02:44:56.680 --> 02:44:59.840 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: And if you remember last year, this was from the... asr-002128 02:44:59.840 --> 02:45:02.000 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: DPWH transfer namin to asr-002129 02:45:02.000 --> 02:45:06.100 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: to DND, amounting to asr-002130 02:45:06.100 --> 02:45:07.940 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: 5.4 billion pesos because asr-002131 02:45:07.940 --> 02:45:09.980 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nakita natin maraming mga asr-002132 02:45:09.980 --> 02:45:12.260 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: projects doon, hindi alam nung mga asr-002133 02:45:12.260 --> 02:45:14.160 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mga end asr-002134 02:45:14.160 --> 02:45:15.600 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: users or asr-002135 02:45:15.600 --> 02:45:17.980 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: nadidelay or kulang yung pondo asr-002136 02:45:17.980 --> 02:45:19.920 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: hindi nako-coordinate asr-002137 02:45:19.920 --> 02:45:22.120 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: mabuti so we transferred it to asr-002138 02:45:22.120 --> 02:45:24.160 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: to asr-002139 02:45:24.160 --> 02:45:26.200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the DND asr-002140 02:45:26.200 --> 02:45:29.620 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: How is that experience? asr-002141 02:45:30.000 --> 02:45:32.300 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: Because that is asr-002142 02:45:32.300 --> 02:45:34.060 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: again a asr-002143 02:45:34.060 --> 02:45:36.640 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: reform that we instituted asr-002144 02:45:36.640 --> 02:45:37.780 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in 2026 asr-002145 02:45:37.780 --> 02:45:39.880 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: of course with asr-002146 02:45:39.880 --> 02:45:42.120 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: coordination with the DND asr-002147 02:45:42.120 --> 02:45:43.960 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: but is that more efficient asr-002148 02:45:43.960 --> 02:45:46.200 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: in terms of finishing asr-002149 02:45:46.200 --> 02:45:46.860 Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian: the projects? asr-002150 02:45:47.880 --> 02:45:49.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I believe it is more efficient asr-002151 02:45:49.900 --> 02:45:51.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: your honor in finishing the projects asr-002152 02:45:51.800 --> 02:45:53.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: but if we will revisit asr-002153 02:45:53.840 --> 02:45:55.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the whole episode asr-002154 02:45:55.560 --> 02:45:57.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: it is asr-002155 02:45:57.940 --> 02:45:59.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: also the lack of an asr-002156 02:45:59.580 --> 02:46:00.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: infrastructure plan asr-002157 02:46:00.980 --> 02:46:03.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: of the armed forces asr-002158 02:46:03.440 --> 02:46:05.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: of the Philippines and because asr-002159 02:46:05.500 --> 02:46:07.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: of the fact your honor that capital asr-002160 02:46:07.440 --> 02:46:09.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: outlay allocations asr-002161 02:46:09.020 --> 02:46:11.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: have not been funded asr-002162 02:46:11.540 --> 02:46:13.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: to the extent we require asr-002163 02:46:13.280 --> 02:46:15.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: so what happened were asr-002164 02:46:15.600 --> 02:46:17.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: different units your honor asr-002165 02:46:17.700 --> 02:46:19.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: had to asr-002166 02:46:19.320 --> 02:46:22.700 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: had to asr-002167 02:46:22.700 --> 02:46:24.760 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: request asr-002168 02:46:24.760 --> 02:46:27.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: for their own peculiar asr-002169 02:46:27.220 --> 02:46:28.840 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: infrastructure needs asr-002170 02:46:28.840 --> 02:46:29.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: so asr-002171 02:46:29.580 --> 02:46:32.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the TICAS experience asr-002172 02:46:32.320 --> 02:46:33.960 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: are small projects asr-002173 02:46:33.960 --> 02:46:36.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: that are asked for by units asr-002174 02:46:36.160 --> 02:46:37.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: with asr-002175 02:46:37.280 --> 02:46:39.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: with asr-002176 02:46:39.360 --> 02:46:42.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the DPWH asr-002177 02:46:42.980 --> 02:46:44.140 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and the asr-002178 02:46:44.140 --> 02:46:45.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: budget at that time asr-002179 02:46:45.880 --> 02:46:48.280 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: but now your honor I think asr-002180 02:46:48.280 --> 02:46:50.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the actual remediation asr-002181 02:46:50.360 --> 02:46:52.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: is an infrastructure asr-002182 02:46:52.440 --> 02:46:54.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: program and plan asr-002183 02:46:54.360 --> 02:46:56.780 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: so that we have standards asr-002184 02:46:56.780 --> 02:46:58.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: qualities asr-002185 02:46:58.080 --> 02:46:58.900 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and asr-002186 02:46:58.900 --> 02:46:59.560 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: actual asr-002187 02:46:59.580 --> 02:47:01.240 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: well thought of asr-002188 02:47:01.240 --> 02:47:03.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: areas asr-002189 02:47:03.600 --> 02:47:06.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: up to the battalion level asr-002190 02:47:06.600 --> 02:47:08.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: at least your honor asr-002191 02:47:08.020 --> 02:47:12.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C.

Teodoro Jr.: now in the asr-003732 03:22:35.100 --> 03:22:36.260 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: multi-level, asr-003733 03:22:36.780 --> 03:22:39.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: multi-unit asr-003734 03:22:39.400 --> 03:22:41.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: depending on the asr-003735 03:22:41.500 --> 03:22:43.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: use of the asr-003736 03:22:43.400 --> 03:22:45.600 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: unmanned system asr-003737 03:22:45.600 --> 03:22:49.320 DND Secretary Gilberto C.

Teodoro Jr.: and control and operational doctrines. asr-003739 03:22:52.500 --> 03:22:53.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Kasi asr-003740 03:22:53.340 --> 03:22:55.440 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: at one stage, sa Army po, asr-003741 03:22:55.660 --> 03:22:57.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: sa Navy, asr-003742 03:22:57.400 --> 03:22:58.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: iba-iba ang gamit. asr-003743 03:22:59.540 --> 03:23:01.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C.

Ejercito: na meron silang propaganda machine really to create siguro itong disunity among us? asr-003783 03:25:12.500 --> 03:25:15.020 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Meron po talaga. Meron po talaga. asr-003784 03:25:15.200 --> 03:25:20.520 DND Secretary Gilberto C.

Teodoro Jr.: Katulad po ng People's Liberation Army, asr-003788 03:25:33.560 --> 03:25:38.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: hindi parehong organization po yan sa armed forces. asr-003789 03:25:38.340 --> 03:25:43.180 DND Secretary Gilberto C.

Teodoro Jr.: It is a Communist Party of China arm. asr-003791 03:25:47.700 --> 03:25:48.800 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Separate siya. asr-003792 03:25:49.440 --> 03:25:52.340 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So talaga po, lahat ng galaw nito, asr-003793 03:25:52.360 --> 03:25:56.820 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: ay motivated by their central committee or standing committee. asr-003794 03:25:57.740 --> 03:26:04.660 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So ang propaganda is the reason also for being of the People's Republic of China. asr-003795 03:26:05.440 --> 03:26:07.360 DND Secretary Gilberto C.

Gatchalian: Kasi hindi lang naman kami yung audience, but ang audience yung buong mundo, eh, no? asr-003836 03:29:05.360 --> 03:29:09.360 Senator Sherwin "Win" T.

Teodoro Jr.: Pero, you cannot avoid also that it is based on my experience, ah. asr-003845 03:30:00.000 --> 03:30:11.460 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Taking guidance from the President with our experience with the Senate and with each and everybody. asr-003846 03:30:11.460 --> 03:30:16.720 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I'm just the expression of the collective voice of the institution, Your Honor. asr-003847 03:30:17.320 --> 03:30:24.080 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Credit is also due to those individuals and institutions I have mentioned. asr-003848 03:30:24.080 --> 03:30:30.100 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And we commend you again, Secretary, for that, for standing up for our sovereignty. asr-003849 03:30:30.260 --> 03:30:33.580 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nakakalungkot lang na may mga ilan dito. asr-003850 03:30:33.740 --> 03:30:38.700 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Nakakatawa eh, China yung ano natin dito, ang ating katunggali. asr-003851 03:30:39.300 --> 03:30:43.640 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pero sandali lang, ang bilis na may ilang Pilipinas rito, mga troll. asr-003852 03:30:44.560 --> 03:30:47.140 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Dinidepensa pa yung China, tayo pa yung inaano. asr-003853 03:30:47.860 --> 03:30:52.240 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Itong mga ito, dapat bordering on ano ito, treso na ba ito siguro? asr-003854 03:30:52.240 --> 03:30:59.240 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Diba? Sabi ko, mas masahol ba ito sa kalaban, yung pagiging trader sa sariling bayan. asr-003855 03:31:00.800 --> 03:31:04.240 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So again, we commend you for that, Secretary Teodoro. asr-003856 03:31:05.740 --> 03:31:09.860 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yun na lang po, siguro last before we wrap up, asr-003857 03:31:10.120 --> 03:31:18.360 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: we also noticed that may budget na nawala doon sa ating disaster response. asr-003858 03:31:19.300 --> 03:31:21.360 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Considering that there is a pending El Niño asr-003859 03:31:22.240 --> 03:31:31.180 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: coming next year, itong Super El Niño, may effect ba yung, tanong ko lang, asr-003860 03:31:31.240 --> 03:31:35.820 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: 9.4 billion sa Calamity Fund na natanggal po sa inyo. asr-003861 03:31:35.820 --> 03:31:41.860 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I am just worried that we have to be prepared for this. asr-003862 03:31:42.240 --> 03:31:43.780 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So ano po maging effect na ito? asr-003863 03:31:43.880 --> 03:31:45.280 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Hindi ko nga alam kung saan daw nangyari. asr-003864 03:31:45.900 --> 03:31:50.140 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Whether it was brought to the Department of Agriculture, baka naman diretsyo nila. asr-003865 03:31:50.680 --> 03:31:51.820 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pinakita rin kasi kami rin. asr-003866 03:31:52.240 --> 03:31:55.140 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Direct assistance to farmers and fisher folks. asr-003867 03:31:55.500 --> 03:31:58.380 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, your position, Secretary? asr-003868 03:31:58.840 --> 03:32:04.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Your Honor, it will not affect because as the Senate President knows, asr-003869 03:32:04.480 --> 03:32:06.120 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: as far as last year is concerned, asr-003870 03:32:07.000 --> 03:32:14.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: I said that the Calamity Fund, it's best downloaded to line agencies where we do the coordination. asr-003871 03:32:15.900 --> 03:32:21.480 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: However, for some projects, for example, the integrated logistics centers, asr-003872 03:32:22.240 --> 03:32:30.920 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: for DSWD, DOH, in select areas where, because right now, asr-003873 03:32:31.500 --> 03:32:36.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the warehouses, for example, Your Honor, are in Region 3, for example, asr-003874 03:32:36.640 --> 03:32:43.540 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: the two repacking areas of the DSWD, I was informed, were flooded. asr-003875 03:32:43.540 --> 03:32:52.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, I talked to Senator Gatchalian and offered an area in Fort Magsaysay, asr-003876 03:32:52.240 --> 03:32:59.980 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: for the repacking beside the runway, which is an ideal logistics location. asr-003877 03:33:00.820 --> 03:33:09.880 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, just to fund the ideal logistics locations, whether it be DSWD or OCD, asr-003878 03:33:10.340 --> 03:33:20.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: since it will be done also in military bases because of the air transport asr-003879 03:33:20.380 --> 03:33:21.380 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: and sea transport. asr-003880 03:33:22.240 --> 03:33:27.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: So, that's the only requirement, Your Honor. asr-003881 03:33:27.280 --> 03:33:32.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Because now, if we have to augment in the Visayas and Mindanao, asr-003882 03:33:32.700 --> 03:33:40.160 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: but it's good that there is already a supply by Secretary Sherwin, asr-003883 03:33:41.540 --> 03:33:49.500 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: Secretary Rex Abinicio, so we just have to fill the gap. asr-003884 03:33:49.500 --> 03:33:52.220 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But normally, before, this used to emanate. asr-003885 03:33:52.240 --> 03:33:56.400 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: From Metro Manila yet, which is not logistically ideal. asr-003886 03:33:57.620 --> 03:34:01.580 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: But the downloading to other agencies, that's their function, Your Honor, asr-003887 03:34:01.700 --> 03:34:02.940 DND Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr.: why we do the coordination. asr-003888 03:34:06.660 --> 03:34:13.320 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: With that, before we end, liwanagin lang natin, hindi natin ina-attack ang Chinese people. asr-003889 03:34:13.880 --> 03:34:15.380 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Wala tayong bad blood sa kanila. asr-003890 03:34:15.940 --> 03:34:19.400 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I came from a Chinese school, sa Saber School, pareho kami ng Secretary. asr-003891 03:34:19.700 --> 03:34:21.400 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We both grew up with our... asr-003892 03:34:22.240 --> 03:34:25.520 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Our Chinoy friends, batchmates and schoolmates. asr-003893 03:34:25.700 --> 03:34:28.100 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And we still love our Chinese friends. asr-003894 03:34:28.260 --> 03:34:32.520 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And recently, I also became an ambassador of a Chinese tire manufacturing company. asr-003895 03:34:32.660 --> 03:34:33.840 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I use a Chinese vehicle. asr-003896 03:34:34.700 --> 03:34:37.560 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: So, katulad nyo, marami rin akong gamit na galing China. asr-003897 03:34:37.660 --> 03:34:39.420 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We welcome the people from all backgrounds. asr-003898 03:34:40.140 --> 03:34:43.160 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: And we have valued the friendships and relationships we have built over the years. asr-003899 03:34:43.220 --> 03:34:46.800 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Pero malinaw po ang ating paninindigan, ang ating values. asr-003900 03:34:46.800 --> 03:34:51.900 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Ang question natin ay ang aksyon ng Chinese government sa ating West Philippine Sea. asr-003901 03:34:52.240 --> 03:34:56.540 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: I'm sure yan din po ang pinaglalaban ng ating Secretary and the whole DND family. asr-003902 03:34:57.080 --> 03:34:58.980 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Hindi ang ordinaryong mamamayang Chinese. asr-003903 03:34:59.620 --> 03:35:04.980 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yes, we can respect the Chinese people without turning a blind eye to the actions of their government. asr-003904 03:35:05.100 --> 03:35:07.940 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung gobyerno naman nila po ang ating pong... asr-003905 03:35:07.940 --> 03:35:13.060 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yung kanilang ginagawa sa ating pong teritoryo, sa ating mangingisda, asr-003906 03:35:13.160 --> 03:35:15.020 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: at syempre sa ating Coast Guard, sa ating Navy. asr-003907 03:35:15.260 --> 03:35:17.420 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Yan ang ating hindi po tayo pabor. asr-003908 03:35:17.420 --> 03:35:21.880 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We stand for mutual respect, but we will also stand firm in defending our country's asr-003909 03:35:22.240 --> 03:35:24.920 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: Sovereignty and the dignity of our people. asr-003910 03:35:25.180 --> 03:35:29.400 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito: We also reiterate our staunch support for the DND and the Armed Forces asr-003911 03:35:29.400 --> 03:35:33.580 Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G.
