Sa kasalukuyan, marami pang nangyayaring hidwaan sa loob at labas ng ating bansa. Marami tayong pagkakaiba, madalas, magkakasalungat ang ating paniniwala, pinanggagalingan, at paninhindigan.

In the 2026 State of the Nation Address,

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000144

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. affirmed the government's commitment

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000145

to fulfilling the signed peace agreement

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000146

as the President emphasized,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000147

peace must be demonstrated through actual implementation and completion.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000148

For OPA proof, this means accelerating remaining commitments

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000149

and working toward the substantial completion of all peace agreements by 2028.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000150

At the core of our proposal is the agency's expanded mandate.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000151

Under Executive Order No. 158, Series of 2021,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000152

it reinforces our key role,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000153

in advancing a just and lasting peace for the nation,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000154

one that benefits all Filipinos,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000155

especially those in conflict-affected and vulnerable communities.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000156

The agency is guided by the Five-Point Peace Reconciliation and Unity Agenda,

asr-000157

as shown, which is the policy anchor of the different peace processes,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000158

the PAMANA, and other peace-building programs.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000159

As of September 30, 2026,

asr-000160

we have achieved an overall accomplishment of 71%

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000161

in the implementation of peace agreements.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000162

This indicates that while we have reached significant milestones,

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000163

there is still substantial work ahead

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000164

to fully complete our commitments.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000165

This remaining gap highlights the need to sustain momentum

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000166

and, more importantly, to accelerate implementation.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000167

Additional funding is critical,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000168

not only to sustain ongoing initiatives,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000169

but also to catch up on delayed deliverables.

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000170

With Fiscal Year 2027 as the last full year of the current administration,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

we must maximize this period to ensure a successful transition

toward substantial completion by 2028.

Pursuant to the Local Government Code and Executive Order No. 70, Series of 2018, OPAPRU supports provincial local government units in the local peace engagement and further capacitating them in the development of transformation programs which aim to mainstream CPP-NP-NDF surrenders into the society and enable them to

Recapitulating the status of peace agreements, the implementation of peace agreements across the four peace tables have achieved the following percentage completion as shown with the RPMP-RPA-ABB.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000207

The peace process as early as September 30, 2026 has already achieved the target 85% completion.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000208

And by the end of the current year 2026, the targeted achievements would be 72% implemented commitments under the GPH-MILF peace process, 53% for the peace process with the MNLF, including its transformation program,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000209

and 100% completion of the commitments.

For our fiscal year 2025 financial performance, as of December 31, 2025.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000211

We have obligated 97% or 6.9 billion of the total 7.1 billion agency appropriations for fiscal year 2025.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000214

We have.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000215

We have utilized 73% or 6.1 billion pesos of the total 8.3 billion for 2026 agency appropriation.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000216

Of this amount, 4.6 billion pesos was obligated for Pomana infrastructure projects

asr-000217

while the remaining funds supported OPA-PRO regular and ongoing normalization and transformation programs.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000218

Anchored on the President's Directive for OPA-PRO to achieve substantial completion of the peace agreements,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000219

our proposal highlights investing in peace, investing in continuous sustainable development.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000220

To accelerate the peace agreements implementation, we must pursue post-conflict reconstruction, rehabilitation, and development.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000221

Its implementation suffered significant delays in previous years,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000222

due to the COVID-19 pandemic, governance, and political transitions, which have put us in a critical catch-up phase.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000223

Peace Care Year 2027 is a crucial year to fully fund and fast-track the normalization and transformation programs

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000224

as we work toward fulfilling the national governance commitment under the signed peace agreements by 2028.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000225

We must also scale up socioeconomic integrity.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000226

For foreign rebels or combatants, their families and communities,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000227

to address the root causes of un-conflict, eliminate the triggers for recruitment,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000228

and prevent the threats of renewed violence and rebellion.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000229

We are likewise advancing the localization of normalization and transformation implementation

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000230

to ensure that interventions are felt where they are needed most,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000231

right on the ground, inside our communities,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000232

and outside our priority communities.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000233

Finally, while our proposed funding is substantial,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000234

it remains insufficient to address the holistic requirements of sustaining peace across all target areas.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000235

We will continue to mobilize support from other government agencies,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000236

as well as local and international development partners to bridge this gap.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000237

However, robust baseline funding for Fiscal Year 2027

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000238

from the national budget remains the critical catalyst for leveraging these resources.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000239

The budget requests are not mere expenditures,

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000240

they are urgent investments in securing a just, sustainable, and lasting peace.

the presence of our Senate President who

joined us this

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000553

afternoon.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000554

I have some questions but probably our

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000555

Senate President would like to

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-000556

have his statement and ask some questions.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000557

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000558

First of all,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000559

let me welcome our colleagues from the

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000560

OPA-PRO, former Mayor,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000561

Secretary Mel Cermento,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000562

former Chief of Police ngayon,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000563

USEC Wilbin Mayor.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000564

Maraming salamat sa briefing niyo kanina.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000565

And I saw that in your budget,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000566

you increased by about a billion pesos,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000567

1.1 billion pesos in your budget.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000568

So I would just like to get an update.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000569

One of the main direction of OPA-PRO is the

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000570

decommissioning of the combatants.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000571

And this has been a long time coming.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000572

In fact, maraming nagiging issue tungkol dito.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000573

But despite the challenges in the

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000574

decommissioning and normalization,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000575

nakita natin na naging relatively successful

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000576

yung election last month sa BARM.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000577

So in other words, there is support from our

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000578

constituents to continue the gains of the

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000579

peace process, to continue the gains of the BOL,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000580

the Bangsa Moro Organic Law.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000581

However, we have to sustain it.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000582

Itong pinakamahirap eh.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000583

Yung unang medyo relatively madali pero yung

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000584

sustainability of peace is a challenging matter.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000585

And that's where OPA-PRO will come in.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000586

So I would like to get a detailed update.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000587

On the decommissioning process that will lead to

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000588

the normalization process.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000589

For example, ilan bang combatants ang hindi pa natin na tutulungan

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000590

o nade-decommission?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000591

Ilan pa ang nangangailangan ng educational assistance?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000592

In fact, last year, I remember during the hearing,

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000593

isa sa mga request ng OPA-PRO at that time

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000594

kay General Galvez Pais, yung educational assistance

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000595

in which we

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000596

We provided 850 million.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000597

Because our view is education is an integral part

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000598

of the peace process.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000599

So I would like to get an update on where we are

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000600

in terms of the decommissioning.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000601

Ano ba yung mga challenges na hinaharap natin dito sa decommissioning?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000602

So anyone can answer? Secretary Mel or Usec Wilben, anyone can answer from the agency?

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000603

Sir, currently, the total decommissioned combatants is 26,145.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000604

There's still 14,000 remaining to be decommissioned.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000605

And we're still yet waiting for the list of the 14,000.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000606

But this will be based on the discussion by the government and the MLF panels.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000607

As we can see, the appointment of the chair of the government panel was just recently in the person of the Secretary Mel.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000608

He is also the chair of the government implementing.

Source

OPAPRU Presidential Assistant Wilben M. Mayor

asr-000609

Out of the 14,000 combatants, 4,625 weapons were turned over, Mr. Chair, Your Honors.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000610

How would you judge this?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000611

So at present, ilan po ang total armed members?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000612

MLF that have yet to be part of the decommissioning?

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000613

Siguro po, umpisan po natin para po makita natin yung kabuang konteksto sa nagagaling lahat.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000614

Una ng una, nagkaroon po tayo ng pagpirmahayong sa Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000615

At eventually po, naging naipasa yung...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000616

Bangsamoro Organic Law.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000617

Nang naipasa po ito, ang sinabi ng MLF, meron po silang 40,000 na i-decommission na combatants.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000618

Sa 40,000, 26,145 na na-decommissioned.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000619

At sa phase 1, phase 2, at saka phase 3.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000620

Yung phase 4, meron pang 13,855.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000621

Sa usapin ng decommissioning, kasama dyan ang sinasabing parallel and commensurate.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000622

Ibig sabihin, kailangan ma-deliver ng gobyerno.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000623

Yung...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000624

Ang mga napag-usapan sa Peace Implementing Panel, na kung sabihin natin na 40% na gawa na po ng gobyerno,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000625

pwedeng may release yung 40% din ng kanilang armas.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000626

So, palagi pong ganoon ang proseso.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000627

Sa...

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000628

Bangsamoro Organic Law was signed in 2018.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000629

2018.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000630

And implementation started in 2019.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000631

So, this will be the 8th year of the implementation.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000632

So, gano'ng katagal pa ho yung inaasa natin for the total na na-decommissioning?

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000633

Yung...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000634

Yung...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000635

Yung...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000636

Sa CAV and BOL, there's no amount stated with respect to the socioeconomic package

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000637

that the government is supposed to provide.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000638

Unfortunately, I would say unfortunately,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000639

there was an amount eventually declared

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000640

that each decommissioned combatant is supposed to get.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000641

One million pesos worth of socioeconomic package.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000642

So, yun po ang naging malaking challenge sa aspeto po ng gobyerno.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000643

Nang umupo po ako, nakita natin may marami pong programa,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000644

pero may mga challenges po tayong kailangan ma-address.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000645

Unang-una po, sa side po ng UPAPRU,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000646

yung monitoring.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000647

So, monitoring lang po kami sa karamihan nitong mga

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000648

socioeconomic package na ito.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000649

Sa socioeconomic package,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000650

ay...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000651

Pag tinatanong namin ng isang ahensya,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000652

sabihin natin, Dole,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000653

nakakasiguro ba kayo nang binigyan nyo

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000654

ng...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000655

tulong ng programa ninyo o anumang ahensya

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000656

ang naging problema po ay

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000657

data privacy.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000658

Hindi po nagkaroon ng data sharing agreement.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000659

So, nagkakaroon po ng problema na may binibigay na tulong,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000660

yung validation process ang naging very challenging part.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000661

Kaya medyo mabagal ng konti yung kanyang implementation.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000662

At yan po yung ina-address namin ngayon

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000663

para magkaroon ng...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000664

data sharing agreement.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000665

Kasi mahirap nga naman kung...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000666

ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000667

walang agreement, no?

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000668

Na...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000669

ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000670

ng mga ahensya para masiguro na

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000671

ang datos ay parehas.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000672

Ang susunod po ay...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000673

itong pasihan,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000674

yung napirmahan po ng

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000675

peace implementing panel

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000676

between the GPH and the MILF.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000677

So, ang nakasaad po dito,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000678

100,000 po yung pesos yung...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000679

yung cash na naibigay.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000680

But the rest,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000681

ano po siya, ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000682

regular program ng gobyerno.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000683

Ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000684

PhilHealth,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000685

ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000686

civil registration,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000687

health insurance,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000688

ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000689

etc.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000690

Pwede po naming ibigay.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000691

Pero pag tinitingnan po natin yung package dito,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000692

medyo hindi responsive sa mga edad na...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000693

ng decommissioned combatants.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000694

So, isa rin po sa naging hadlang ito, no?

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000695

So, karamihan dito,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000696

eh, 46 and, ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000697

basically, around 53 na siguro sila ngayon.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000698

Mahirap na pong ipatesta pa natin yun

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000699

hanggang 66 years old.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000700

So, ang bulk ng mga combatants, eh medyo

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000701

hindi nagtutugma yung edad sa package.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000702

So, marami pong tinitingnan natin

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000703

mga pwedeng gawin para po mapabilis yung, ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000704

yung...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000705

decommissioning, ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000706

part ng, ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000707

ng usaping pangkapayapaan with the MILF.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000708

Ang naging hadlang naman po, eh,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000709

pagupo ko, wala pong chairman sa

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000710

peace implementing panel representing the GPH.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000711

So, nag-resign po yung chair

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000712

February of this year.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000713

At ang sabi ng MILF, eh, suspend muna yung

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000714

kahit anong activity.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000715

Kahit anong activity sa normalization track.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000716

Natigil po yan.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000717

So, nag-antay po tayo ng, ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000718

ma-appoint.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000719

Nag-assure po ako sa kanila na may ma-appoint na kapalit

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000720

para magpatuloy yung peace implementing panel

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000721

sa regular na meeting, regular na usapin.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000722

Ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000723

Kasi lahat ng gawain dito dapat bilateral, hindi unilateral.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000724

Ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000725

Nung July 15, finally po nagkaroon ng chair

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000726

ang peace implementing panel na ako rin ang na-appoint.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000727

So, dalawa po yung hinawakan kong posisyon

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000728

bilang kalihim ng OPAPRO at bilang chairperson ng

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000729

GPH panel sa peace implementing panel, ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000730

with the MILF.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000731

Meron po kaming, ah... nag-meeting pa lang po kami

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000732

sa Kuala Lumpur.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000733

There were seven items that we were supposed to agree on.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000734

Five were eventually approved.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000735

Ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000736

We're very thankful to our partners, the MILF.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000737

We had a very short meeting and yet very productive one

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000738

given that, ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000739

out of the seven items, five were approved.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000740

Ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000741

At dito po, ah... yung mga na-aprubahan na yan

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000742

kasama po yung konting adjustment sa socio-economic package

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000743

na mas responsive sa kanila.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000744

Ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000745

Hindi po namin ito nga, ah... naisa lang.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000746

Muna kasi hindi kami sigurado kung papapayag ng adjustment yung, ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000747

MILF.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000748

September 25 po, nag-meeting kami sa Kuala Lumpur.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000749

Nagpapasalamat din po kami sa Malaysia sa kanilang pag-host, ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000750

ng meeting ng, ah... MILF at ang GPH.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000751

At, ah... na-aprubahan po ito ng konting adjustment.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000752

Dito sa existing na socio-economic package na mas responsive.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000753

Ah... ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000754

Yes, may mga kailangan pa po kami rito.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000755

Pero once nagawa po natin ito, mapapabilis po yung ating, ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000756

decommissioning ng weapons, ano ah...

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000757

sa, ah... phase four niya, hopefully by 2027.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000758

Doon nangailangan pa kami ng konting oras dito

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000759

sa pag-submit ng additional proposal ng aming, ah... opisina.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-000760

Thank you po.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000761

In short, ah... 14,000 ang tinitignan natin left to decommission.

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000762

And, ah... what I understand, ah...

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000763

part of the challenge is yung napangakong 1 million. Tama?

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000764

So, ah... yun ang, ah...

Source

Senator Sherwin "Win" T. Gatchalian

asr-000765

ang, ah... nagiging challenge.

Source

I can perhaps go... perhaps go there and brief you a little bit about it

because I think

that with the

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

this will

spread out

ito yung mga

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001348

kaguluhan

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001349

it's easy

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001350

to recruit

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

sa

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

armed movement

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001364

and I guess

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001365

through the years

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001366

that was

what happened

Mindanao will be able

to contribute

at least 30%

of our national

it's below

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

has really affected

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001403

the image of Mindanao

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

in the farm area

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001406

the tendency

is being reported

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

as if the whole

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001409

Mindanao is in trouble

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001410

that basically

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001411

is affecting

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001412

the image of

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001413

not only of Mindanao

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001414

but the country

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001415

for that matter

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001416

it's something

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001417

that we really have

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001418

to pursue

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

but there's

Parang city. City o parang.

Ano natin yun eh, kailangan natin mag-accelerate ng spending.

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001776

Kasi, after the flood control scandal, medyo bumagal.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001777

So, we need to accelerate spending.

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001790

Of course, it will cost.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001791

But I think that by being able to open a gateway,

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001792

going to BAM, a conflict area,

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001793

that will create growth areas that will provide opportunities.

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

These are the...

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001852

These, I don't mind spending for infrastructure

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001853

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001854

These will stimulate economic growth.

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001857

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

I think this will create growth areas.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001859

You create commercial areas,

asr-001860

magkaka-industrial parks,

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001866

Di ba?

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001867

So, we create growth areas,

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001868

we create jobs and opportunities in the future.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001869

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001876

jobs and opportunities in the future.

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001887

Sa peace and order sa riyon na iyon. As we all know, the provincial governor, sila po yung chairperson ng peace and order council. Inaagampanan talaga po nilang kanilang obligasyon, ang kanilang papel bilang chairperson ng peace and order council.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-001888

Nagsama-sama po yung lahat ng gobernador sa Karaga at ganoon din po ang nangyari sa Dabao region. So malaki na pong improvement sa kapayapaan sa Mindanao. Hindi lang po sa BARMM kundi sa kabuuang Mindanao.

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

Baka may mag-sponsor pang paint ng napakaraming pink na paint.

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001891

Baka libre pa kayo. Pero I think it's worth developing itong mga ito. Sige, pagtulungan nyo natin lalo yung infrastructure. Especially the infrastructure needs of the farm area. Gusto natin mabuhay doon eh. Gusto natin magkaroon ng livelihood.

Source

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-001892

Again, after the Bangsamoro Organic Law, kailangan natin i-follow up talaga ng livelihood yan, ng kabuhayan.

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

Okay, ang ano lang siguro sa budget, as chairman of finance.

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

Resumed. Just a question also, dito sa educational assistance program: what challenges or dilemmas caused the delay in the release of the 850 million for educational assistance? And can you realistically obligate and disburse the remaining 45% of its 2026 program before the year end?

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-002023

Yes, we can. We have a very good relationship except for one university who recently had a new president, but they were able to submit their liquidation, and we are very confident that we can do it, Mr. Chair.

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

asr-002024

Okay, by the year end, no? That is, I think, one of the advocacies of our Senate President. He was very much concerned with the educational assistance, the educational program sa area. Just like to ask about the unliquidated fund transfers, about 9.9 billion according to COA findings. Implementing agency partners of OPAPRU, under the COA

Senator Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito

audit report, OPAPRU has 9.936 billion in unliquidated fund transfers to implementing agencies, some dating back as far as 21 years. Worse, the agency issued 43 checks totaling 1.45 billion in new transfers to agencies that had not liquidated prior funds. Anong aksyon o hakbang na nagawa ng OPAPRU sa issue na ito? Magkano na out of the 9.936 billion ang na-recover o na-liquidate ngayong taon? Baka lang po ito matanong kasi sa plenary, no?

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-002204

we have people on the ground.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-002205

We're very conscious about this. We're very strict about it.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-002206

In fact, as I mentioned earlier,

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-002207

we do have a peace room already that

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-002208

any member of Congress can

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

basically check every project

and we would know the status

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

people's participation as

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-002304

articulated under Article 13 of the

Constitution. And that's why

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-002316

in the Local Development Council

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-002317

to ensure that

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-002318

their voices are heard. They don't really have

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-002319

to pick up a firearm if they're

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

they need.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

The government should be addressing.

So, a good number of former rebels

other local government units to do the same.

Source

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-002350

Allow former

OPAPRU Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento

asr-002351
