Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000051

Thank you, ComSec.

00:03:14Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000052

Again, magandang hapon po sa ating mga kasamahan

00:03:18Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000053

sa Kongreso at sa pamunuan at mga kawani

00:03:21Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000054

ng Department of Migrant Workers.

00:03:23Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000055

Since its establishment in February 2022,

00:03:27Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000056

the DMW has been entrusted with a vital mandate

00:03:31Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000057

to protect the rights, promote the welfare,

00:03:34Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000058

and advance the interests of our overseas Filipino workers.

00:03:39Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000059

Our OFWs continue to make a significant contribution

00:03:44Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000060

to our economy.

00:03:45Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000061

In 2025, OFW remittances reached a record

00:03:50Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000062

of 35.63 billion U.S. dollars,

00:03:54Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000063

3.3% higher than the previous year.

00:03:57Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000064

These remittances account for nearly 8% of our GDP

00:04:01Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000065

and underscore the important role of our migrant workers

00:04:06Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000066

as pillars of the Philippine economy.

00:04:08Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000067

For fiscal year 2027, the DMW is proposing

00:04:13Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000068

a budget of 10.675 billion pesos,

00:04:17Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000069

equivalent to only 0.23% of the national government's proposed budget.

00:04:23Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000070

The budget will support the operations of 42

00:04:27Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000071

migrant workers’ offices worldwide,

00:04:29Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000072

DMW regional offices, and OWA regional offices.

00:04:34Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000073

It will also strengthen the 2 billion peso Action Fund,

00:04:39Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000074

which provides legal, medical, repatriation,

00:04:43Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000075

and other assistance to OFWs,

00:04:45Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000076

as well as the 978 million peso Emergency Repatriation Fund

00:04:52Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000077

for workers affected by conflicts, pandemics, calamities,

00:04:57Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000079

and other emergencies.

00:04:59Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000081

The budget will likewise support key programs,

00:05:03Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000082

including the OFW Hospital, National Reintegration Centers,

00:05:07Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000083

and Maritime Research Services.

00:05:11Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000084

As the Department continues to mature as an institution

00:05:15Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000085

under Republic Act No. 11641,

00:05:18Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000086

we must ensure that it is adequately equipped

00:05:21Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000087

to fully carry out the provisions of the law.

00:05:25Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000088

As mandated, to create a reorganization commission

00:05:29Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000089

that will evaluate accomplishments and impact

00:05:33Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000090

of the DMW Act.

00:05:35Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000091

At this point, I believe the Department has demonstrated

00:05:39Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000092

its commitment to fulfilling its obligation

00:05:41Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000093

and providing our OFWs with protection, assistance,

00:05:47Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000094

and services they deserve.

00:05:48Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000095

I myself, as representative of the 2nd District of Zamboanga del Norte,

00:05:54Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000096

witnessed this commitment,

00:05:55Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000097

in the Department's swift response

00:05:57Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000098

to the tragic case of our OFW constituent

00:06:01Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000099

who was slain in Lebanon.

00:06:03Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000100

In that difficult and heartbreaking situation,

00:06:07Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000101

Secretary Cacdac himself personally attended to the case,

00:06:11Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000102

delivered the remains of our kababayan back to their grieving family,

00:06:15Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000103

and preserved her dignity

00:06:17Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000104

until she was brought to her final resting place.

00:06:20Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000105

This only comes to show

00:06:22Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000106

that the Department understands

00:06:24Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000107

that behind every OFW case is a human being,

00:06:29Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000108

a family, and a community

00:06:31Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000109

waiting for government to act.

00:06:34Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000110

Our OFWs are truly

00:06:36Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000111

the makabagong bayani ng ating panahon.

00:06:39Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000112

It is therefore our responsibility

00:06:41Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000113

to ensure that when they leave our shores

00:06:44Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000114

to build a better future for their families,

00:06:47Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000115

they know that the Philippine government

00:06:49Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000116

will always stand behind them.

00:06:51Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000117

Maraming salamat po.

00:06:56Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000118

At this time,

00:06:57Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000119

I would like to recognize

00:07:00Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000120

the chairperson of the Committee on Overseas Workers' Affairs,

00:07:04Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-000121

Honorable Bryan Revilla

00:07:06Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

00:07:10Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000124

Madam Chair Irene Labad-Labad,

00:07:12Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000125

maraming salamat po sa aking mga kasama

00:07:15Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000126

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

00:07:17Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000128

Distinguished guests,

00:07:18Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000129

Mr. Secretary,

00:07:20Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000130

sa lahat po ng resource persons ngayong araw na ito,

00:07:22Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000131

magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat.

00:07:24Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000132

As chairman of the Committee on Overseas Workers' Affairs,

00:07:29Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000133

my mandate is clear.

00:07:31Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000134

Ensure that the DMW and OWA

00:07:33Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000135

have the resources to protect and support

00:07:36Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000136

our OFWs in every circumstance.

00:07:40Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000137

Not only when crisis strikes,

00:07:42Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000138

but in the ordinary days

00:07:44Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000139

when preparations matters most,

00:07:46Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000140

and in the difficult days

00:07:48Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000141

when recovery begins.

00:07:49Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000142

The continuing Middle East conflict

00:07:52Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000143

has shown us why this matters.

00:07:54Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000144

Thousands have been repatriated,

00:07:56Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000145

placing significant demands

00:07:59Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000146

on DMW and OWA.

00:08:02Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000147

This year,

00:08:03Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000148

the government provided

00:08:04Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000149

an additional three billion

00:08:06Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000150

for the Action Fund,

00:08:07Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000151

while OWA received one billion

00:08:09Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000152

in supplemental funding,

00:08:11Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000153

including seven hundred million

00:08:12Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000154

for emergency repatriation.

00:08:14Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000155

But the question remains,

00:08:17Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000156

how far can these funds truly go,

00:08:20Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000157

and are they enough

00:08:22Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000158

for whatever crisis

00:08:24Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000159

comes next?

00:08:25Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000160

But our responsibility to our OFWs

00:08:28Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000161

does not begin and end with a crisis.

00:08:32Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000162

I have personally seen

00:08:33Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000163

our DMW and OWA perform

00:08:38Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000164

and serve our kababayans,

00:08:40Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000165

especially in the OFW Servicio Caravan.

00:08:43Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000166

Having participated in a few of them,

00:08:46Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000167

these initiatives bring

00:08:47Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000168

frontline government services

00:08:49Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000169

directly to our OFWs on-site.

00:08:53Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000170

Saving them time, money,

00:08:54Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000171

and the difficult choice

00:08:56Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000172

between accessing government assistance

00:08:58Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000173

and reporting for work.

00:09:00Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000174

This is the kind of service

00:09:01Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000175

that meets our OFWs

00:09:03Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000176

where they are.

00:09:04Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000177

And if we want to bring these services

00:09:06Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000178

to more Filipinos abroad,

00:09:08Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000179

then we must also make sure

00:09:12Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000180

that the DMW and OWA

00:09:14Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000181

have the resources to sustain

00:09:16Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000182

and expand them.

00:09:17Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000183

The question, therefore,

00:09:19Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000184

is not simply how much

00:09:21Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000185

has been spent

00:09:22Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000186

or how much remains.

00:09:23Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000187

The real question is

00:09:25Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000188

whether we are giving

00:09:26Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000189

DMW and OWA enough resources

00:09:29Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000190

to protect our OFWs

00:09:32Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000191

not only in the moments of crisis

00:09:34Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000192

but every day

00:09:36Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000193

in every circumstance.

00:09:38Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000194

And finally,

00:09:39Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000195

we have to look beyond today's crisis

00:09:41Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000196

because Madam Chair,

00:09:42Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000197

this is not simply about

00:09:45Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000198

adding numbers to a spreadsheet.

00:09:47Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000199

Hindi natin hinihingi

00:09:49Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000200

ang karagdagang pondo

00:09:50Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000201

para lamang masabing

00:09:51Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000202

may pondo tayo.

00:09:52Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000203

Hinihingi natin dahil may

00:09:54Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000204

mga Pilipinong umaasa na

00:09:57Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000205

kapag dumating ang oras

00:09:58Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000206

ng kagipitan, handa ang

00:10:00Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-000207

kanilang pamahalaan.

gawing perpekto yung

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000364

through some growing pains

00:16:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000365

as any average

00:16:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000367

encounter. Gusto rin

00:16:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000368

ho namin sabihin na

00:16:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000369

sa mga programa namin,

00:16:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000370

katuwang ng OWWA, nandito

00:16:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000371

kami para sa mga OFWs.

00:16:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000372

na nangangailangan ng tulong.

00:16:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000373

But more than the statistics,

00:16:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000374

and I will close the introduction with this,

00:16:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000375

ang direct impact na ibig kubong

00:16:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000376

sabihin ay talagang

00:16:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000377

we make sure that we touch the lives

00:16:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000378

of OFWs in need.

00:16:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000379

By way of example,

00:16:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000380

meron po tayong mga seafarers

00:16:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000381

na sa kinasamaang-palad nasawi

00:16:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000382

sa gitna ng hidwaan dito sa

00:16:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000383

either Red Sea or Northern Black Sea

00:16:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000384

at sa Strait of Hormuz.

00:16:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000385

Pero ang sinasagawa po natin dun,

00:16:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000386

meron tayong mga regulasyon,

00:16:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000387

to make sure na napoproteksyonan

00:16:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000388

ang ating seafarers.

00:17:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000389

Pero it can happen.

00:17:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000390

Sa utos ng ating Pangulo,

00:17:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000391

sabi ng ating Pangulo, alagaan ang mga

00:17:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000392

pamilya, lalo na yung mga pamilyang

00:17:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000393

na wala na mahal sa buhay sa gitna ng hidwaan.

00:17:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000394

Kaya it can happen

00:17:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000395

for instance, na merong

00:17:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000396

panganay na anak o bunsong anak

00:17:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000397

na babae, katulad ng itong

00:17:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000398

isang pamilya na tinulungan namin.

President Bongbong Marcos (video)

asr-000746

00:30:20Source

President Bongbong Marcos (video)

Dahil ang repatriation ay hindi lang paglapag, kailangang may hatid pa-uwi at may tulong sa susunod na hakbang.

00:30:30Source

President Bongbong Marcos (video)

asr-000748

Sa Action Fund, naihahatid ang agarang tulong sa mga OFW na nasa distress. Ang tugon ay umaayon sa pangangailangan ng bawat OFW at pamilya.

President Bongbong Marcos (video)

asr-000749

Sa OWA Emergency Repatriation Fund, may suporta, bago, habang at pagkatapos ng pag-uwi.

00:30:54Source

President Bongbong Marcos (video)

asr-000750

Sabi ko ng ating Pangulo, hindi niyo po utang na loob ito sa amin, kundi bilang panukle at parangal namin sa inyong pagod at hirap sa abroad, kaya tuloy-tuloy pa ako ang servisyo natin sa inyong pagbabalik.

00:31:09Source

President Bongbong Marcos (video)

asr-000751

Sa dagat, may panganib ding walang pinipiling ruta. Sa bawat kaso, ipinagpapatuloy ang koordinasyon hanggang sa ligtas na pagbabalik.

00:31:20Source

President Bongbong Marcos (video)

asr-000752

Kasama rin sa proteksyon ang paghahanda para sa trabaho.

00:31:23Source

President Bongbong Marcos (video)

asr-000753

At buhay sa dagat, dahil ang pag-uwi ay iba-iba para sa bawat OFW. Para sa ilan, panahon ito para magsimulang muli.

00:31:34Source

President Bongbong Marcos (video)

asr-000754

Kaya pinagbubuklod ang mga ahensya ng pamahalaan. Ang reintegration ay hindi trabaho ng iisang tanggapan.

00:31:42Source

President Bongbong Marcos (video)

May kabuhayan para sa hanap buhay, kaalaman para sa bagong kakayahan, kalinga para sa kapakanan at kaagapan para maiugnay sa mga servisyo.

serbisyong kailangan. May puhunan, may skills, may pagkakataong makabalik sa profesyon o makapagtayo ng sariling kabuhayan. At hindi nawawala ang serbisyo sa pagitan ng mga yugto.

00:32:07Source

President Bongbong Marcos (video)

asr-000757

Naroon ito kung saan naroon ang OFW. Bago umalis, habang nasa abroad, sa oras ng krisis, sa pag-uwi, naroon ang pamahalaan upang maglingkod.

Sa ating pagkakaisa at pagtututunan.

So, ito po ay nasa 900 million level, Madam Chair. Ngayon po na nasa gitna pa rin po tayo ng regional conflict at hindi lamang naman po sa gitnang silangan merong existing na nangyayaring gulo na apektado po ang ating mga OFWs.

00:34:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000765

Yan ho siguro para mailapit. Ang unang-una pong gusto naming ilapit po sa Kongreso.

00:34:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000766

Dahil napaka-importante po nito. Minsan po may taon na hindi ho ito mayuutilize. Nagpapasalamat ho tayo kung hindi ho ito mayuutilize.

00:34:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000767

Ibig sabihin, walang digmaan, walang pandemya, walang masamang nangyayari.

00:34:53Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000768

Ngunit may taon, katulad ng taon ito, na on the part of the ERF of OWA po, we are running already on the supplemental na hiningi po namin, additional 700.

00:35:06Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000770

Including po yung lahat po na-utilize na, nasa 1.7 billion na po dahil sa nangyaring digmaan sa rehiyon.

00:35:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000771

At ito po ay inaasahan namin na sana po ay mabigyan po kami ng additional budget sa Emergency Repatriation Fund.

00:35:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000772

Ito po ang cost of being ready ng gobyerno sa kung ano man po pwedeng mangyari sa ating mga OFWs.

00:35:35Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000773

Nasabi rin po ni,

00:35:38Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000774

na nabawasan po ang aming gas. Literally, we ran out of gas ang dating po.

00:35:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000775

Pwede ko po bang masabi rin kung bakit ito importante?

00:35:51Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000776

Kami po ay napaalalahanan ng COA na kailangan po ay itama natin or i-update natin ang sweldo ng mga JOs po.

00:36:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000777

Para po may konteksto, sa 1,600 po.

00:36:07Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000778

One power complement po ng OWA, 1,100 po ay JOs or over 60 percent, close to 70 percent.

00:36:16Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000779

Malaki pong tulong sila sa amin habang pong inaayos natin ang karagdagang plantilya positions.

00:36:23Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000780

Madam Chair, overseas plantilya positions of OWA, ibig sabihin po ang mga welfare officers namin, AS, 34 lang po.

00:36:32Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000781

Kaya humihingi po kami ng karagdagang plantilya positions.

00:36:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000782

Kasi ayon po sa batas, creating the Department of Migrant Workers, katuwang po kami ng mga labor attache sa abroad.

00:36:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000783

Sa masamang pala do, hindi yung lahat ng post, meron pa po kaming welfare officer.

00:36:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000784

Dahil po ay kinukuha na nga rin po namin sa central office at sa mga regional office, nagkakaroon po na rin ng pagkukulang ng tao.

00:36:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000785

Kaya napaka-importante po ng aming mga JOs.

00:37:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000786

At kung may ganun pong pag-a...

00:37:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000787

abiso ang COA na itaas at iayon sa current rates ang sweldo ng JO, supportado po ito ng management ng OWA.

00:37:17Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000788

At sana po, Madam Chair, mabigyan kami para naman po sulit na sulit ang kanila pong pagtatrabaho.

00:37:25Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000789

Sila po ay halos, ang operations po namin ng DMW ay 24-7 po, Madam Chair.

00:37:31Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000790

At ang pangatlo po, ay noong 1995 po, under Republic Act,

00:37:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000791

8042, ito po ang Migrant Workers Act.

00:37:39Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000792

Ito ho nagsimula ang lahat.

00:37:41Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000793

Meron ho ditong tinayo, ganun pa lang ho, siguro mga 30-31 years ago po.

00:37:48Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000794

Ang tawag po dito ay Congressional Migrant Workers Scholarship Program.

00:37:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000795

Ito po ay scholarship program para sa mga anak ng OFWs at mga OFWs mismo po.

00:38:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000796

Kung susumahin, halos 60,000 po per year at apat na taon po.

00:38:06Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000797

Yan po ang naibibigay na scholarship.

00:38:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000798

Ito po ay iba doon sa scholarship program ng OWA na pinupondohan ng trust fund o ibilang benepisyo.

00:38:17Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000799

Ngunit, since 1995 po, nung nagbigay ang Kongreso po ng 50 million noon,

00:38:25Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000800

hindi na po ito nabigyan ng pondo.

00:38:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000801

Gusto po sana namin din na hindi lamang po palakasin ito, lalo pong maramdaman ang ating mga kababayan.

00:38:35Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000802

Dahil po,

00:38:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000803

sa pananaw po namin, isa, if not, the major reason why our OFWs go abroad

00:38:42Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000804

ay para suportahan po ang pag-aaral ng kanilang mga anak.

00:38:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000805

So with this po, may I add as well, that when it comes to scholarships po,

00:38:51Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000806

ang OWA po ay meron ng 20,000 scholars na mga anak ng mga OFWs.

00:38:57Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000807

At sa suporta po ng aming mahal na Secretary at ng board,

00:39:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000808

magdadagdag pa po kami ng 10,000 na scholarship slots for this year alone.

00:39:06Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000809

Ito pong congressional scholarship, madadagdaga na naman po kung ito po'y malalagyan ng pondo at mapapalakas.

00:39:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000810

All in all po, alam po namin na limitado ang fiscal space.

00:39:19Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000811

Ngunit, ang aming pong hiling ay huwag naman hong kalimutan ang ating mga OFWs, lalong-lalo na po,

00:39:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000812

sila po ay araw-araw po yan, alam po ninyo, na humihingi ng tulong, yung iba po tulong ng repatriation,

00:39:34Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000813

yung iba po tulong ng livelihood.

00:39:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000814

Pagdating dito, yung iba po tulong para po sa kanilang pamilya at kanilang mga anak.

00:39:44Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000815

Panghuli na po, katuwang po ng DMW, alam nyo naman po na under the Action Fund,

00:39:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000816

ay may kinukuha po tayong mga legal retainers abroad.

00:39:55Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000817

Ito po yung mga lawyers na nagtatanggol po sa ating mga OFWs.

00:40:00Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000818

Gusto po sana namin na magkaroon din ng medical retainers or clinic retainers,

00:40:06Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000819

dahil ayon po sa aming datos, ay dumami na po yung health concerns or medical concerns ng ating mga kababayan.

00:40:15Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000820

And especially po, with special mention po, sa mga psychosocial counseling na kailangan ng ating mga kababayan,

00:40:25Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-000821

lalong-lalo na po, yung pong mga distress natin, especially po, malapit sa puso namin ang isekhans,

It has been a year since the DMW raised the minimum wage of migrant domestic workers

00:42:45Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000853

from 400 US dollar to 500 US dollar.

00:42:49Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000854

Ano ang ginagawa po ng DMW to ensure the full implementation of this standard

00:42:56Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000855

and ano rin po ang rate of compliance by countries of destination and recruitment agencies po?

00:43:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000856

Yes.

00:43:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000857

Magandang...

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000859

Yes.

00:43:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000860

Ang pagtalaga po ng 500 US dollar wage for our domestic workers

00:43:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000861

was by virtue of the Department Order issued last August 2025, Department Order 25.

00:43:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000862

And since that time, ang sinagawa po natin ay bilang first phase ng ating implementation

00:43:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000863

is on a voluntary basis.

00:43:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000864

Since this will have implication on current contracts of OFWs,

00:43:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000865

ang ginawa po natin incentivization ang proseso na pinagdadaanan natin.

00:43:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000866

So we incentivize those who on their own provided domestic workers with a 500 US dollar salary per month.

00:44:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000867

Sa ngayon po, we have 17,375 job orders processed.

00:44:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000868

With a 500 US dollar salary for domestic workers.

00:44:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000869

And meron po tayong patuloy na pagpoprocess na mga job orders na ito.

00:44:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000870

Ito po ay supplemented with other measures within the Department Order.

00:44:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000871

For instance, we are braced to already implement yung tinatawag na video interview, yung know your employer.

00:44:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000872

Video interview.

00:44:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000873

Para po maisagawa yung mismong pagpapakilala ng domestic workers sa kanyang magiging future employer.

00:44:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000874

Para kilala na po niya.

00:44:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000875

So in this last quarter of 2026, we are braced to already fully implement itong video interview system.

00:44:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000876

Ang isa rin pong sinasabi,

00:44:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000877

ang isa rin pong sinasabi,

00:44:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000878

Isa rin pong sinasagawa natin yung upskilling.

00:45:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000879

Kailangan po kasing kasabayan ng pagpapatunay na may sapat na skillsets,

00:45:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000880

skills being the highest form of protection ng ating domestic workers.

00:45:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000881

At sa ngayon po, we are undergoing projects, training ng mga domestic workers,

00:45:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000882

turning them into other skillsets or skills options such as caregiving

00:45:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000883

and other types of skillsets in the restaurant sector, hospitality sector.

00:45:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000884

For instance, meron tayong ilan who are in caregiving from Israel

00:45:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000885

na na-i-place natin sa government-to-government hiring natin as hotel workers.

00:45:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000886

Some of them domestic workers also from the Middle East na naging hotel workers elsewhere,

00:45:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000887

most especially sa mga government-to-government hiring partners natin

00:45:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000888

sa Croatia.

00:45:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000889

Ngayon, the other thing we are doing is pagbibigay ng livelihood options para sa kanila.

00:46:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000890

Marami po na tayong nabihayaan ng livelihood capital from the National Reintegration Center

00:46:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000891

para hindi na sila mag-domestic work.

00:46:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000892

Dito na lang po nagtayo sila ng kanika nalang negosyo.

00:46:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000893

At ang dami na po nating success stories, most notably, yung nag-business plan competition tayo,

00:46:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000894

ang top three winners.

00:46:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000895

Ay mga puro former domestic workers.

00:46:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000896

So we are giving them options in terms of not just being domestic workers.

00:46:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000897

There's nothing wrong with being a domestic worker.

00:46:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000898

My own mother was a domestic worker when my dad lost his job as an OFW.

00:46:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000899

Pero kailangan lang meron options dapat ang ating mga kababayihang workers,

00:46:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000900

especially that they are not just caught in a recruitment trap of just being,

00:46:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000901

offered domestic work.

00:46:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000902

But the short answer to the question, ma'am, is we have 17,375 job orders processed

00:47:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000903

with 500 US dollars salary and counting.

00:47:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000904

Aaminin ko, medyo naantala ang implementasyon natin gawa nitong krisis sa Middle East.

00:47:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000905

Nag-focus tayo sa repatriation effort at assistance measures na binibigay sa atin

00:47:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000906

sa nanunumbalik na OFWs na, by the way, batay din sa datos ni Admin PY,

00:47:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000907

around 30 to 40 percent, kung maalala ko yung huling pagtingin ko sa datos,

00:47:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000908

ay mga domestic workers.

00:47:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000909

Yung nanunumbalik doon sa 12,000 na napauwi natin ay karamihan domestic workers.

00:47:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000910

So it is still a work in progress, Madam Chair, Congresswoman Dada,

00:47:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000911

and rest assured we will continue to implement the 500 US dollar salary

00:47:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000912

until it achieves a level of acceptability across the board

00:47:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000913

and then we can mandatorily impose the same.

00:47:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000914

Madam Chair, maraming salamat po.

00:47:55Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000915

Definitely understandable dahil sa naging conflict nga naman sa Middle East.

00:48:01Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000916

So nagagalak ako na marinig na it is still ongoing up to the present na madagdagan pa

00:48:07Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000917

at sana ay across the board na talaga na mataasan or ma-increase ang kanilang salary,

00:48:14Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000918

lalong-lalo na yung mga domestic workers po natin.

00:48:18Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000919

Dadako naman po ako, Madam Chair, sa on-action.

00:48:22Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000920

Ang agarang kalinga at saklolo para sa mga OFWs na nangangailangan o action fund

00:48:30Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000921

ay itinatag para mabigay ng timely and responsive services sa mga OFWs at kanilang mga pamilya.

00:48:38Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000922

Lalo na kapag sila ay nasa distress,

00:48:40Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000923

pero meron pong ilang reports mula sa ground na mabagal ang disbursement ng financial support under action fund.

00:48:48Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000924

Madalas daw po ay umaabot ito ng 3 to 6 months

00:48:51Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000925

kung ma-resolve ba.

00:48:52Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000926

May mga kaso pa ng OFWs na namatay sa chronic illness habang naghihintay pa rin ng agarang kalinga at saklolo.

00:49:02Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000927

Ano na po ang ginagawa para mabawasan ang red tape

00:49:06Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000928

at mapabilis ang disbursement at case management system ng DMW para sa action fund at sa iba pa nitong programa po?

00:49:15Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000929

Madam Chair, with the permission, I will make an initial comment.

00:49:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000930

But Yusek Feli Bay can also supplement the answer.

00:49:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000931

But at the outset, let me say na 80,000, as I reported, 80,000 na po ang nabigyan ng financial assistance.

00:49:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000932

However, tama po kayo, meron talagang hindi pa nabibigyan at meron na rin matagal-tagal nag-antay.

00:49:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000933

But the cause of this is once again, we don't use this as a common excuse

00:49:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000934

and I don't want to always get back to the crisis.

00:49:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000935

It's an excuse.

00:49:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000936

But ang nangyari po, yung 2 billion action fund natin na ubos po

00:49:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000937

because of our massive repatriation and financial assistance distribution effort nung krisis.

00:50:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000938

Nung krisis, the height of it in March, April, May, yung US-Israel-Iran war,

00:50:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000939

ay 20,000 po ang nabigyan natin ng action fund assistance on the ground.

00:50:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000940

Pero malamang po kung dadaang you're referring to those who are here,

00:50:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000941

who have returned.

00:50:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000942

So sa ngayon, naubos yung 2 billion, but as Yusef Niki mentioned,

00:50:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000943

no less than the President himself on June 23rd announced a 3 billion peso.

00:50:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000944

Hinigitan pa ni Pangulo yung 2026, yung 2025 budget.

00:50:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000945

If it was 2 billion in 2025 as set in the 2026 GAA,

00:50:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000946

sabi ni Pangulo, ang supplemental nyo, 3 billion.

00:50:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000947

So ongoing po ang distribution, rest assured.

00:50:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000948

Siyempre, mayroon lang usual COA procedures before we release,

00:50:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000949

documentation of the releases.

00:51:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000950

I wish we could just immediately unload the 3 billion that quickly,

00:51:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000951

but rest assured, the releases are ongoing.

00:51:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000952

We post this naman po, at least some of the releases on our Facebook page

00:51:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000953

just to make our people know that the releases are ongoing.

00:51:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000954

And rest assured po, makukompleto natin.

00:51:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000955

The 3 billion peso allocation of the President himself is definitely enough

00:51:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000956

to cover all the pending claims.

00:51:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000957

And rest assured, we will cover all the claims by the early 4th quarter, ma'am.

00:51:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000958

Yung pending at least.

00:51:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000959

Maraming salamat, Madam Chair and Mr. Secretary.

00:51:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000960

At least po, ito'y maibibigay pa rin sa kanila.

00:51:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000961

And naintindihan po natin na because of the crisis din,

00:51:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000962

at medyo late nga po yung mga downloads of funds.

00:51:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000963

Nga raw po ng mga iba-ibang departamento.

00:51:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000964

So, most likely, baka isa din po yun sa tinitignan na dahilan.

00:51:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000965

Kung bakit, nalilate din, no?

00:52:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000966

However, kaugnay nga po ng Action Fund,

00:52:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000967

maari ko bang matanong ang ating ginoong sekretary na

00:52:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000968

magkukumit ba po ang DMW na amyendahan ang Department Order 02-2025

00:52:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000969

o omnibus guidelines on the implementation of the Action Fund

00:52:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000970

para malinaw na ma-define ang ideal disbursement rate po.

00:52:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000971

Yes, right now, ang disbursement rates natin,

00:52:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000972

generally speaking, are 50,000 for the distressed cases,

00:52:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000973

75,000 kapag merong medical situation,

00:52:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000974

and 100,000 kapag nasawi ang ating OFW sa kanasamaang palad.

00:52:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000975

But yes, we are reviewing these rates kasi,

00:52:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000976

meron din tayong quick action na tinatawag po eh.

00:52:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000977

So, by way of example, pag may dumating na OFW,

00:53:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000978

at ang case niya is not as major as the others,

00:53:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000979

pero kailangan niya ng pamasahe, pauwi,

00:53:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000980

kailangan niya ng pantawid kahit papano,

00:53:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000981

may matutustos siya sa, halimbawa, bilang pocket money niya pauwi ng probinsya,

00:53:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000982

then we have that quick action.

00:53:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000983

So, we have a window where we provide 10,000 to around 5,000 to 10,000 to 30,000,

00:53:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000984

depende dun sa need.

00:53:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000985

Dumbawa, abutan ng pamasahe, di 5,000, 2,000.

00:53:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000986

So, but you're right, Mama, we need to rationalize and make sure that there is a definite schedule

00:53:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000987

para malinaw po sa taong bayan kung ano yung saan na pupunta,

00:53:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000988

saan na lalagay yung kanilang sitwasyon.

00:53:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000989

But there is another special rate which is around 30,000 pesos for the,

00:53:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000990

traffic victims.

00:53:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000991

Ito po yung mga either hindi nakaalis, illegal recruitment victims,

00:54:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000992

or sila po ina-uwi, halimbawa, dun sa scam hub sa Southeast Asia.

00:54:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000993

So, we have pegged the amount for them at 30,000 pesos.

00:54:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000994

So, meron pong ganong klaseng differentiation lang tayo.

00:54:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000995

And you're right, we are reviewing the same, Madam Congresswoman,

00:54:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-000996

and we'll issue the amendatory guidelines soon.

00:54:23Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000997

Salamat po, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary.

00:54:26Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000998

Dada ko naman po ako sa repatriation.

00:54:29Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-000999

Base sa naging karanasan natin sa emergency repatriations dahil sa US-Iran conflict,

00:54:36Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001000

ano po kaya ang assessment ng DMW patungkol po dito?

00:54:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001001

Yes, ang assessment po natin, unang-una, may kahandaan po tayo at the outset

00:54:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001002

kasi si Presidente po.

00:54:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001003

Unang-una niyang sinabi, day zero, kumbaga, Feb 28 kasi pumutok yung sigalot.

00:54:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001004

May clear instructions na si Pangulo sa amin ni Sec. Tes. Lazaro ng DFA

00:55:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001005

to provide the welfare services for our OFWs.

00:55:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001006

At kami ni Admin PY, ang unang-unang naming naisip nung lumabas itong pumutok itong sigalot

00:55:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001007

is yung mga masastranded gawa nung nasara yung airspace sa Gulf States, Dubai, Qatar, etc.

00:55:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001008

So kami ni Admin PY, nagtungo kagad kami sa airport.

00:55:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001009

Dahil alam namin magkakaroon ng embudo dun sa airport.

00:55:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001010

Dahil na-cancel ang flights, hindi na tuloy, and therefore may mga nasa labas ng airport

00:55:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001011

naging hintay ng tulong.

00:55:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001012

So binigyan na ho namin ng agarang tulong and Admin PY could provide.

00:55:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001013

May data rin ho sila dyan.

00:55:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001014

So that's one, the mechanisms, the systems.

00:55:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001015

On that particular day also, we met virtually all the ambassadors.

00:55:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001016

Sec. Tes. Lazaro and all the ambassadors on the ground with the labor attachés.

00:55:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001017

Nagpulong na po kami lahat and activated our crisis manuals, crisis management systems.

00:56:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001018

Existing na po ito. Marami nagtatanong kung meron bang ganito.

00:56:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001019

Meron na po talaga, nakaabang na ito. So it's all a matter of activating these systems.

00:56:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001020

And then, one key learning also is not all conflicts have the same size, so to speak.

00:56:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001021

Ibig sabihin na hindi one size fits all ang conflict.

00:56:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001022

And this particular conflict is most, is kumbaga the best example of this principle.

00:56:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001023

Kasi never pa ho nangyari na pitong bansa ang involved.

00:56:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001024

Usually, when it's Israel-Lebanon, dalawang bansa lang po yan.

00:56:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001025

Russia-Ukraine, dalawang bansa.

00:56:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001026

But ito, covering yung theater of military operations, covered seven countries.

00:56:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001027

And so that was the challenge.

00:56:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001028

And we learned now, now, it's in our rule book, it's in our manuals, what to do kapag ganong karaming bansa

00:57:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001029

ang literally involved sa drone attacks, missile attacks, dahil nandun nga rin po ang kababayan natin.

00:57:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001030

So there was a learning experience, but at the same time, we needed to learn fast and apply our systems fast.

00:57:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001031

So ang resulta nga po ay 12,000 ang nakauwi.

00:57:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001032

12,000 na hindi nakauwi, pero nabigyan ng financial assistance.

00:57:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001033

And the other learning is resources.

00:57:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001034

So I'll go back to my point, ang point namin ni Admin PY.

00:57:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001035

Talagang we need to have already, hindi, masasabi ko talagang hindi, I think Admin PY mentioned this already,

00:57:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001036

hindi po pwede talagang eksakto ang bit-bit namin sa bulsa namin.

00:57:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001037

At the beginning of the year or at any given time, because anything can happen, as we all know.

00:57:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001038

Unfortunately, the geopolitical situation is unpredictable.

00:58:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001039

And so we must have the necessary resources, because we can and do mobilize such resources,

00:58:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001040

and not just financial, I'm talking of material and human resource, when the time comes.

00:58:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001041

Handa naman po tayo, but we just really need the proper resources in our hands.

00:58:23Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001042

I agree with that, Madam Chair.

00:58:25Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001043

At follow-up na lang po dyan, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary,

00:58:29Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001044

sa tingin niyo po ba may mga kailangang baguhin sa allocation, sa guidelines,

00:58:36Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001045

o kaya sa mga case management patungkol po sa pagiging mas responsive natin

00:58:43Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001046

at para mas maging sufficient din po ang pondo sa mga ganitong biglaang sitwasyon po?

00:58:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001047

I think, again,

00:58:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001048

more than anything, yung financial resources, capabilities namin.

00:59:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001049

Of course, yung human resources, dapat nakaabang, but that too is a function of our systems,

00:59:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001050

yung hiring processes and systems namin.

00:59:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001051

It's a good thing that before this conflict started, na-approve ng DBM on our part,

00:59:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001052

yung labing-labang additional items dun sa fund administration, action fund administration side.

00:59:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001053

So nagpapasalamat kami kay Presidente sa DBM kasi nagkaroon ng fund management system yung aming action fund

00:59:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001054

before this all happened. So that was in place.

00:59:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001055

And there were people who were dati kasi parang ad hoc task force lang,

00:59:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001056

but now there are really people and systems governing the action fund.

00:59:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001057

Parang mini OWA, if I may say so, within the DMW that governs.

00:59:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001058

Kung trust fund ng OWA, kami naman governing the action fund.

00:59:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001059

But again, I hate to be repetitive.

00:59:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001060

But really, it's a matter of having the right resources.

01:00:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001061

Kasi wala nang tatalo pa sa saying yes at the right moment.

01:00:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001062

Kesa sa ang sagot namin sa tao, ay pasensya na, wala kaming pondo.

01:00:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001063

And we always need to be ready in terms of our financial systems.

01:00:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001064

Now let me also add, na kami naman po are also in the process of enhancing our ISO systems.

01:00:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001065

So on the part of the DMW and the OWA, we are geared to sharpen our ISO systems

01:00:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001066

para mabilis ang disbursement ng pondo, selection of our human resources,

01:00:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001067

mobilization of our human resources when the time comes.

01:00:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001068

So right now, we're beefing up our human resources at the posts.

01:00:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001069

At dinadagdagan pa nga namin.

01:00:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001070

Ang aming mga posts, for instance, we recently opened our 43rd office in Cambodia.

01:01:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001071

So ngayon, may tao na tayo nakaposition doon together working with our DFA

01:01:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001072

to respond to distress calls from our OFWs who are victimized by the scam hubs

01:01:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001073

or employed, unfortunately, by the scam hubs.

01:01:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001074

So this is another learning that we've had.

01:01:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001075

It's always good to preposition our people.

01:01:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001076

And that will probably be my final point.

01:01:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001077

Pagdating ng emergency, etong huling sigalot,

01:01:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001078

admin PY and I were able to preposition our people sa fly-out points.

01:01:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001079

Not necessarily doon sa seven countries.

01:01:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001080

Sa labas nito.

01:01:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001081

Para nakaabang nasa border, sundo, fly out.

01:01:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001082

So ganon kahalaga rin yung resource, human and financial.

01:01:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001083

Because dapat makabili kami kagad ng ticket, makabuo kami kagad ng augmentation teams

01:01:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001084

para nakapreposition.

01:01:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001085

Sa countries kung saan sasalubungin na yung lumalabas ng mga kababayan natin sa border.

01:02:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001086

So yun po.

01:02:01Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001087

And I'm pretty sure, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, na kapag bumibili kayo ng ticket on the spot,

01:02:07Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001088

napakamahal po ng mga ticket na ito.

01:02:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001089

Yes. At hindi naman ho namin pwede sabihin sa inyo,

01:02:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001090

pasensya ho, hindi kami nakabili ng ticket kasi mahal.

01:02:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001091

That is true.

01:02:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001092

Siguro pagagalitan nyo kami pag yan ang explanation naming sasabihin.

01:02:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001093

Hindi kami umabot ng 12,000 kasi mahal ang ticket.

01:02:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001094

Pero the good news is, umabot kami ng 12,000 kasi we just basically brought people home.

01:02:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001095

That was the main goal under the directive of the President.

01:02:35Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001096

And we note, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary,

01:02:40Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001097

present po si Secretary Kakdak noong nagkaroon kami ng konsultasyon sa ating mga ilang mga OFW.

01:02:49Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001098

Nagpapasalamat kami doon kay Secretary Hans.

01:02:52Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001099

Pero gusto lang.

01:02:54Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001100

Kailangan po namin na put into record na hindi lahat ng mga kababayan natin po abroad,

01:02:58Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001101

which is na-mention naman po ni Secretary Hans kanina,

01:03:01Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001102

ay gustong magpa-repatriate.

01:03:03Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001103

May mga ilang mga OFW po na nagre-request lang ng support for shelter

01:03:08Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001104

and other protective programs during the conflict.

01:03:11Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001105

We also agree with the OAPY statement earlier,

01:03:17Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001106

and that's why this representation would like to manifest that we support,

01:03:23Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001107

an increased budget for the Department of Migrant Workers and OWA.

01:03:27Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001108

Ngayon pa na may global conflict sa Middle East, ngayon pa talaga kayo binawasan.

01:03:33Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001109

Kung saan maraming mga OFW, dapat mas palakasin at palawakin pa natin

01:03:39Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001110

ang mga programang mag-aalaga sa ating mga kababayan abroad.

01:03:43Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001111

Lalo pa sila po ang isa sa mga nangungunang nagpapatakbo sa ating ekonomiya.

01:03:48Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001112

Maraming salamat po, Madam Chair.

01:03:50Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001113

Maraming salamat po to the DMW family.

01:03:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001114

Yes, go ahead.

01:04:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001115

Take-home pay.

01:04:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001116

So nagbigay tayo ng financial assistance.

01:04:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001117

20,000 po yung naabutan natin noon.

01:04:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001118

And with admin PY, yung grocery food pack.

01:04:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001119

So hindi lang financial, kundi basic food and shelter, and then—

01:04:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001120

Temporary accommodation.

01:04:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001121

Temporary accommodation, tama, shelters that we provide.

01:04:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001122

Kasi nga po, ayaw nila umuwi.

01:04:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001123

Temporary accommodation.

01:04:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001124

Pero gusto muni nilang manirahan sa isang lugar kung saan they feel safe.

01:05:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001125

And minsan pa, pinupuntahan pa na.

01:05:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001126

At tapos kung may host country designated shelter, katulad ng Bahrain at Israel,

01:05:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001127

pinupuntahan ho namin sila doon.

01:05:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001128

Pinupuntahan namin sila doon sa government, host country government designated shelter

01:05:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001129

at inaabutan din ng tulong.

01:05:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001130

So hindi ibig sabihin may host country government designated shelter,

01:05:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001131

hinahayaan na lang namin sila.

01:05:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001132

Pinupuntahan pa ho namin sila doon at binibigyan pa ng basic needs.

01:05:31Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001147

01:06:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

Ito pong rapid response team po natin, of course, adopting a one country,

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001154

hanggang pong ticket po nila pauwing probinsya ay tinutulungan din po natin.

01:07:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001155

And on top of it, of course, Madam Chair,

01:07:17Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001156

ang financial assistance po na ibinibigay po natin ng DMW at saka ng OWA.

01:07:23Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001157

Napaka-importante po nitong RRT, yung sinasabi po ni SEC na personnel,

01:07:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001158

dahil po, kailangan pong i-augment yung ating pong mga teams abroad pag meron pong emergency.

01:07:35Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001159

So siguro, yung po rin ang maidagdag po, matingnan natin kung paano po mas mapalakas

01:07:40Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001160

yung ating pong personnel abroad kasi po ay sila po ang talagang nag-aaral.

01:07:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001161

Frontliners po, frontliners, lalong-lalo na po pag may emergency.

01:07:51Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001162

Sila rin po naka-experience nung mga, kami po ni SEC, nung pumunta po kami ng Romania recently SEC,

01:07:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001163

dahil po doon sa naging conflict din po that were faced by RC Ferrer sa Black Sea,

01:08:08Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001164

nakakatanggap din po kami nung emergency warning for drone attacks.

01:08:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001165

Ganyan po ka-totoo ang emergency warning.

01:08:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001166

Ang nangyayari at yan po ay regular na na-experience.

01:08:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-001169

Thank you, Honorable Dadah Ismula.

01:08:32Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-001170

Now, from the majority, the Chair now recognizes Representative Mica Gonzales.

01:08:40Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001171

Thank you, Madam Chair.

01:08:43Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001172

Thank you, Sec. Hans, for coming.

01:08:45Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001173

And also the OWWA family and the DMW family.

01:08:49Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001174

I just have a few questions on the reintegration program.

01:08:54Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001175

Because from the previous hearing sa People's Center, I asked whether the people who asked for a repatriation,

01:09:03Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001176

do they have a chance to go back again to work?

01:09:06Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001177

Kasi siyempre, kaya nga sila nag-abroad kasi gusto nila magtrabaho abroad.

01:09:09Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001178

But given the situation, they cannot continue working there because of the conflict.

01:09:15Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001179

So I would like to ask on the update on the reintegration program doon po sa umuwi from Middle East to the Philippines.

01:09:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001180

Yes po.

01:09:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001181

And salamat po sa tanong.

01:09:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001182

And yes, this is a foremost directive and concern also of no less than the President.

01:09:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001183

So ang sinagawa po natin, unang-unang step po doon is the profiling of those who had returned.

01:09:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001184

So we need to know who they are, what their skill sets are.

01:09:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001185

And whether or not they have an intent to return.

01:09:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001186

A vast majority, based on the profile tools, yung digital profiling na ginawa ng OWWA at ng DMW, want to stay.

01:10:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001187

So dito po sa vast majority who want to stay, of the 12,000 po, roughly mga 9,000 were OFWs.

01:10:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001188

3,000 of the 12,000 were dependents of OFWs.

01:10:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001189

Mga anak po, kasi OFWs naman usually will bring their children or dependents and they will not go home without their children and dependents.

01:10:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001190

So of the 9,000, nagkaroon po tayo ng intervention sa kanila.

01:10:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001191

We knew who they were coming in.

01:10:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001192

And nag-conduct po tayo ng around nearly 20 National Reintegration Network Job, Livelihood, and Skills Fairs.

01:10:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001193

And dito po, una, aside from the job offers na binigay, nagkaroon din tayo ng active labor market interventions.

01:10:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001194

Ibig sabihin, based on their profiles, nalaman natin ang skill sets nila at hinanapan natin ng corresponding job orders overseas.

01:11:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001195

Overseas po ito, wala pa dito yung DOLE side, yung local.

01:11:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001196

So based on this framework, we had sent letters.

01:11:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001197

Emails to the returning OFWs and told them, okay, you are a barista in UAE.

01:11:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001198

Ito ang mga job orders natin sa Asia and Europe and Americas pertaining to the job of being a barista.

01:11:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001199

This is an ongoing process.

01:11:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001200

So we had sent them emails and the ongoing process po ito, admittedly, hindi instant ang acceptance nila.

01:11:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001201

But meron na po mga napaprocess for possible work overseas.

01:11:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001202

For those who wish to establish businesses, ang livelihood interventions naman po natin are through, of course, the DMW and OWWA reintegration funds,

01:11:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001203

but also DTI, Department of Trade and Industry, a Small Business Corporation, have their own loan facility, especially for returning women workers through Sec. Cris Roque.

01:12:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001205

Sec Kiko Laurel also has his own Department of Agriculture, Agribusiness Interventions, Startup Capital.

01:12:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001206

Sec. Dita of DOT, meron ding mga tourism-related businesses offered, among others.

01:12:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001207

DOST meron din, science and technology related.

01:12:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001208

Now, sa skills enhancement, nandun din si Sec Kiko Benitez, DG Kiko Benitez at ang TESDA.

01:12:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001209

So, sa mga national reintegration fairs po namin, nandun yung mga agencies na binanggit ko.

01:12:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001210

Tapos, nandun yung TESDA to offer skills-related certificates, training vouchers for the returnees.

01:12:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001211

Tapos, meron pa ho itong 160 pesos stipend. Libre yung training, tapos may stipend pa yan daily pag natanggap sila.

01:13:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001212

By way of example, galing kami sa Naga.

01:13:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001213

With Mayor Leni.

01:13:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001214

At doon, merong mga 25 na binigyan ng certificate to start their six-month AI course, AI-related course with STI.

01:13:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001215

So, we partnered with STI.

01:13:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001216

So that’s just an example of doon naman sa skills-related part.

01:13:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001217

Now, there would be around 30–40% in the category that you mentioned, Madam Congresswoman.

01:13:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001218

Yung mga gustong bumalik.

01:13:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001219

Ito naman po, meron na po rin pong nakabalik.

01:13:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001220

Kasi it takes six months from the time they leave UAE, for instance.

01:13:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001221

Buhay pa for six months yung kanilang valid employment visa.

01:13:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001222

And they can just easily return to re-assume their jobs.

01:13:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001223

Some were employed in businesses na talagang tumigil.

01:14:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001224

So, they are waiting for their businesses to resume.

01:14:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001226

But some were able to already come back, to go back to the work that they have.

01:14:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001227

For instance, mga hotel workers at mga office workers.

01:14:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001228

Meron naman po sila rin nabalikan ng mga trabaho.

01:14:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001229

Thank you, Madam Chair.

01:14:22Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001230

So, from what I understood, kapag po yung isang OFW yun na repatriate from the UAE back to the Philippines,

01:14:30Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001231

you offer two options.

01:14:32Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001232

Whether they go back abroad, it may be Asia, it may be the Middle East or Europe,

01:14:37Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001233

or they can grow locally.

01:14:40Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001234

Right?

01:14:41Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001235

So, I think okay.

01:14:43Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001236

That's the first question po.

01:14:44Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001237

The second question is about OFW Hospital.

01:14:48Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001238

Because I represent po kasi third district of Pampanga and I cover San Fernando City, no?

01:14:53Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001239

So, I would like to ask because the last time I visited there,

01:14:58Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001253

there was a problem on the procurement.

01:15:01Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001254

So, ang tagal ng process.

01:15:04Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001255

Yung mga pasyente, siyempre they cannot wait.

01:15:07Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001256

So, ang daming reklamang dumadaan that time.

01:15:10Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001257

So, I would like to ask from your office, Sec. Hans, or anyone from DMW,

01:15:17Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001258

ano na po ang status ng procurement process?

01:15:20Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001259

And number two, how’s the plantilla positions in OFW Hospital?

01:15:27Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001260

Thank you.

01:15:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001261

Okay po, ma’am.

01:15:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001262

Meron tayong, on average, ongoing po yung procurement po at least on two major items.

01:15:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001263

One is yung sa medical supplies and one is on yung, should I say, the hard equipment,

01:15:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001264

yung mga medical machines such as CAT scans.

01:15:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001265

And other types, X-rays, etc.

01:15:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001266

So, doon po sa medical supplies, we had substantially resolved the problem.

01:16:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001267

There used to be pagkukulang-kakulangan ng mga gamot sa pharmacy.

01:16:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001268

But because we had partnered with a Philpharma group,

01:16:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001269

Sina Usec. Kim, which is an adjunct,

01:16:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001270

of the DTI, yung pharma tie-up ng DTI,

01:16:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001271

ay na-resolve na po ito kasi nagkaroon na ng steady delivery of medical supplies.

01:16:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001272

So the challenge is mainly doon sa equipment.

01:16:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001273

And one key development here is it took quite a while,

01:16:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001274

But finally may sarili nang BAC, Bids and Awards Committee, ang ospital.

01:16:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001275

For a while, it was centralized with the DMW.

01:16:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001276

But the problem there kasi is we needed to wait for the right moment

01:16:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001277

na na-position na yung mga regular employees that had been filled up.

01:17:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001278

And the number we have is around 198, regular positions that we had filled up.

01:17:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001279

Hinintay po muna namin sila mag-settle down upon hiring

01:17:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001280

para sila magkaroon na ng kumpiyansa at sistema sa kanilang procurement.

01:17:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001281

So, we had turned over procurement duties to the hospital.

01:17:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001282

And this will go a long way.

01:17:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001283

kasi mas, kumbaga obviously, mas autonomous sila at mas mabilis na silang umaksyon

01:17:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001284

And ongoing po sa ngayon,

01:17:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001285

ang review and posting,

01:17:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001286

41.4% ongoing ang procurement,

01:17:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001287

and 35.6% fully served.

01:17:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001288

So work in progress.

01:17:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001291

yung 41.4% and the rest are still in the preliminary process.

01:18:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001292

hindi po... kasi iba-iba naman ang timelines.

01:18:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001293

Still under process by the BAC.

01:18:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001294

But at release, 77% of our procurement items had been acted upon.

01:18:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001295

And the rest still under-processed yung paperwork sa BAC.

01:18:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001296

But rest assured, ma'am,

01:18:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001297

Bibilisan po natin ito.

01:18:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001298

You may be referring to the recent problem we had with our CAT scan.

01:18:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001299

But this had already been resolved.

01:18:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001300

We even sought the intervention of the Japanese authorities.

01:18:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001301

Kasi galing sa Japan yung makina, yung equipment.

01:18:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001302

So, this had been recently resolved.

01:18:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001303

And the key equipment part is now braced for delivery.

01:18:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001304

And we will...

01:18:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001305

Ah, delivered na?

01:18:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001307

Okay.

01:18:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001308

So we are now braced to testing na

01:18:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001309

and then we will now operate the CAT scan machine once again.

01:19:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001310

So, rest assured, ma'am.

01:19:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001311

And then, merong MRI machine that is up for procurement.

01:19:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001312

With your permission, can I ask you, Sec. Nikki, so I don’t keep looking at her, to respond

01:19:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001313

to the MRI and other concerns.

01:19:21Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001314

With the permission of the Secretary, po.

01:19:24Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001318

Tama po.

01:19:24Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001319

Yung mga equipment po, critical equipment, have already been delivered.

01:19:28Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001320

And under procurement po ngayon yung mga gagamitin din po ng ating cancer care facility

01:19:33Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001321

which hopefully by first quarter or second quarter of 2027 ma-operationalize na rin po natin.

01:19:42Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001322

And on top of the plantilla positions mentioned earlier by the Secretary, we were given

01:19:48Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001323

additional 110 plantilla positions.

01:19:51Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001324

So that makes it around

01:19:53Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001326

308 permanent plantilla positions under level 2 accreditation from the Department of Health.

01:20:01Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001327

And we continuously hire medical and administrative staff at the moment.

01:20:09Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001328

Thank you. Thank you for those answers.

01:20:12Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001329

Kasi po, I'm very into the OFW Hospital because I filed a bill

01:20:17Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001330

at approved na po ito sa Committee on Health to make it level 3.

01:20:22Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001331

Kaya I'm very much concerned about OFW Hospital.

01:20:25Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001332

But on that note, of course, I fully support the manifestation of Kong Dadah to increase our budget.

01:20:32Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001333

Kasi yung mga nandito nga sa Pinas, atat tayong tulungan, di ba?

01:20:37Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001334

What more yung mga nasa abroad na malayo sa pamilya.

01:20:40Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001335

So I think that's a point na kailangan nating make sure na they are catered for, they cared for,

01:20:49Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001336

and most importantly, dapat naramdaman nila.

01:20:51Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-001338

So that's all, Madam Chair. Thank you very much.

01:20:55Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-001339

Thank you, Honorable Mica Gonzales.

01:20:58Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-001340

Now, from the minority, the Chair recognizes Honorable Robert Nazal.

01:21:05Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001341

Thank you, Madam Chair.

01:21:06Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001342

Good afternoon to the DMW.

01:21:09Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001343

Good afternoon, Secretary Cacdac.

01:21:11Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001344

And good afternoon to the DMW family.

01:21:15Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001345

Madam Chair, I refer to the August 25, 2026 letter of...

01:21:22Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001346

OWWA Administrator, Attorney Patricia Yvonne Caunan, requesting our support

01:21:27Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001347

for an additional 2 billion in OWWA's fiscal year 2027 budget.

01:21:34Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001348

Madam Chair, I am disappointed with the NEP.

01:21:38Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001349

OWWA's total budget appears to increase by 1.48% because personnel services increased.

01:21:45Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001350

But MOOE was cut by 64.812 million.

01:21:50Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001351

Capital outlay by 72 million.

01:21:53Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001352

And the Emergency Repatriation Fund by 308.778 million, or 24%.

01:22:02Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001353

Now, my question is, Madam Chair, through the Chair, may I ask Administrator Caunan,

01:22:12Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001354

OWWA proposed 12.8 billion, but only 4.3 billion was included in the NEP, despite the 8.533 billion gap.

01:22:22Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001355

OWWA is asking Congress to restore only 2 billion.

01:22:25Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001356

Is this already the irreducible minimum for statutory life and safety and implementation-ready requirements?

01:22:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001357

Madam Chair, with the permission of our Secretary,

01:22:42Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001358

At alam niyo po, siyempre po para sa OFWs, dapat itodo, Madam Chair, Cong.

01:22:51Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001359

Lalong-lalo na po yung nasabi na po ni Sec. Hans, ito pong krisis paiba-iba.

01:22:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001360

Meron po isang...

01:22:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001361

bansa lang, meron dalawang bansa.

01:23:04Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001362

Sa Middle East crisis, pitong bansa, Madam Chair.

01:23:08Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001363

At hindi lamang naman yun ang krisis na dinadaanan ng ating mga kababayan.

01:23:16Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001364

Marami din po tayong tinutulungan na medical repatriation at iba't ibang klase pong emergencies as defined.

01:23:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001365

Alam niyo po, Madam Chair, nasabi ko kanina,

01:23:29Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001366

halos tatlong taon po tayong

01:23:32Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001368

ang ERF ay nasa 1.2 billion.

01:23:35Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001369

At ngayong nasa gitna po tayo ng matinding, hindi pa ho tapos ang krisis ng US-Iran conflict.

01:23:44Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001370

Yung 900 million ho, Madam Chair, hindi sapat.

01:23:48Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001371

Ang hinihingi po namin, of course, at the very minimum po, i-restore yung 1.2.

01:23:55Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001372

Ngunit, siguro naman ho bilang administrator,

01:24:00Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001379

mandato ko rin ho talagang i-advocate.

01:24:04Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001380

Currently po ang nagastos na po natin ay 1.7 billion.

01:24:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001381

Ibig sabihin ang amount na 1.2 or on the part of DMW na 2 billion.

01:24:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001382

Pag may krisis na kasing laki ng hinarap po natin, Kong at Madam Chair,

01:24:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001383

tatlong buwan, anim na buwan, ubos na po agad.

01:24:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001384

Pag po krisis, ang ticket po walang promo fare.

01:24:30Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001385

Ang ticket po nakatodo po, lalong-lalo na kung limitado ang tickets

01:24:35Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001386

at ang mga aeroplano, hindi po sila lumilipad.

01:24:39Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001387

So, when we asked Madam Chair for additional budget of 2 billion,

01:24:48Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001388

of which close to 600 million is for the emergency repatriation,

01:24:53Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001389

we were just looking at what currently,

01:24:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001390

ay pinagdadaanan natin.

01:25:02Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001391

But aside from the Middle East crisis, there are other geopolitical conflicts

01:25:08Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001392

in other parts of the world, Madam Chair, even near us here in the Philippines,

01:25:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001393

that kailangan din po maging ready yung ating mga kababayan.

01:25:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001394

So, nung nag-propose po ang OWWA ng 12 billion po sa DBM,

01:25:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001395

Limang billion po doon sa 12 ay para po sa emergency repatriation fund.

01:25:33Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001396

Ngunit, syempre po, naiintindihan natin the limited fiscal space,

01:25:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001397

naiintindihan po natin lahat, kailangan ng additional budget, kailangan ng tulong.

01:25:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001398

Ngunit, sa gitna ng pinagdadaanan natin ngayon, na hindi pa tapos na krisis, Madam Chair,

01:25:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001399

ay hindi naman yata namin kakayanin na mas mababa pa po ang budget kesa noon na walang ganitong klaseng kaguluhan.

01:25:57Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001400

Yun po, Madam Chair.

01:26:01Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001401

Madam Chair, magkano po yung nagastos nyo before the crisis?

01:26:08Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001402

And how much did you spend after the crisis?

01:26:11Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001403

Maganda pong tanong yan, Madam Chair.

01:26:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001404

Normally po, for the last, I would say 2024 and 2025, out of the 1.2 billion,

01:26:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001405

so ibig sabihin po, walang aggravation ng regional conflict,

01:26:25Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001406

Our utilization for the ERF was already

01:26:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001407

at 60%.

01:26:32Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001408

Ngayon po, noon nagkaroon ng krisis, naubos po yung 1.2,

01:26:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001409

in fact, humingi po kami ng supplemental na 700.

01:26:40Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001410

So, normally po, kung walang ganitong klaseng intensification of conflict,

01:26:48Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001411

we're already utilizing 60% of the 1.2 billion.

01:26:52Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001412

And this was spent on what, particularly?

01:26:55Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001413

Um, if you...

01:26:56Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001414

Before the crisis po, no?

01:26:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001415

Before the crisis, still the same repatriation expenses,

01:27:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001416

meaning international airfare, hotel or temporary accommodation,

01:27:10Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001417

medical escorts if needed, medical repatriation, land transportation,

01:27:17Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001418

domestic flight tickets, hotel accommodation here in the Philippines,

01:27:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001419

financial assistance for the repatriated workers,

01:27:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001420

and medical assistance.

01:27:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001421

If it's needed po.

01:27:30Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001422

Karamihan po ng, Madam Chair, ng mga kaso prior to the crisis,

01:27:35Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001423

ano po yung kaso ng mga ni-repatriate natin?

01:27:39Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001424

Malaking porsyento po dito ang mga nawawalan po ng trabaho na ating mga kababayan,

01:27:44Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001425

distressed workers.

01:27:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001426

Ngunit ako na po ang unang aamin,

01:27:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001427

tumaas po ang medical repatriation din po natin.

01:27:53Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001428

Ito po ang mga kababayan natin na hindi po natin puwedeng iwan abroad,

01:27:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001430

dahil may sakit sila.

01:28:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001431

So alam nyo naman po, pag medical repatriation, Madam Chair,

01:28:04Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001432

nire-require po minsan ng ospital or doktor na kailangan po may medical escort,

01:28:10Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001433

ibig sabihin po nurse kasama sa aeroplano,

01:28:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001434

at minsan po pag, depende po sa attending physician,

01:28:19Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001435

sasabihin po nila baka kailangan nung ating worker ay tatlong upuan dahil hihiga po siya,

01:28:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001436

kung anong kailangan para maiuwi yung ating kababayan.

01:28:29Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001438

so this is also being paid by the emergency repatriation fund po.

01:28:34Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001439

Ano pong sinabi ng DBM bakit nire-reduce nila yung inyong repatriation fund and yung NEP?

01:28:44Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001440

Madam Chair, if I may po.

01:28:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001441

I believe that they're looking at utilization rate and the utilization rate of 2025.

01:28:55Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001442

However, the conflict arose,

01:28:57Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001443

starting Feb 28 of this year,

01:29:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001444

and it's still ongoing,

01:29:02Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001445

and this is, I would say, outside the control of the Department of Migrant Workers or OWWA.

01:29:15Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001446

The repatriation, emergency repatriation fund at ang action fund, ito po ay mga standby fund na pag at kung saka sakaling may,

01:29:27Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001447

Madam Chair, may I ask the Secretary,

01:29:30Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001448

does DMW fully endorse the entire 2 billion request and commit to defend it through final congressional action?

01:29:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001449

Yes, Mr. Congressman, Madam Chair.

01:29:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001450

We stand by all our requests between the OWWA and the DMW.

01:29:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001451

We share the same levels.

01:29:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001452

We are joined at the hip.

01:29:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001453

Kaya po kami ay magkatuwang at

01:29:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001454

sabay po.

01:29:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001455

Yes, the short answer is yes, we endorse this.

01:29:58Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001456

Thank you for that, Mr. Secretary.

01:30:01Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001457

Madam Chair, I strongly object to using utilization rate mechanically as a reason to reduce the Emergency Repatriation Fund.

01:30:09Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001458

We cannot predict when war, mass displacement, or evacuation will occur, but we can anticipate and prepare.

01:30:16Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001459

A contingency fund does not become unnecessary simply because the worst crisis did not occur during a particular year.

01:30:24Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001460

In any event, utilization is already high, as mentioned by Administrator Caunan's letter.

01:30:31Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001461

Sinabi po niya na 81.92% of the current fiscal year 2026 ERF appropriation has already been utilized as of July 31.

01:30:41Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001462

The separate OWWA table submitted to us as of August 25 shows total ERF expenses at 1.6 billion,

01:30:50Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001463

663.284 million,

01:30:54Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001464

for war-related expenses,

01:30:55Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001465

and 967 million for regular repatriation.

01:31:00Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001466

Madam Chair, may I ask the Secretary,

01:31:02Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001467

was the 24% reduction in ERF based wholly or partly on past utilization?

01:31:08Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001468

If so, does the DMW agree that this is an unsafe basis for determining the required level of a life and safety contingency fund?

01:31:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001469

I can respond.

01:31:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001470

The numerics po, I think PY can perhaps respond to the details.

01:31:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001471

But I can fully subscribe to the principle that utilization is a difficult basis.

01:31:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001472

And having said that, utilization anyway will be dependent on the geopolitical situation.

01:31:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001473

And as the February 28 US-Israel-Iran war had clearly proven,

01:31:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001474

any geopolitical crisis can happen anytime.

01:31:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001475

It will always be...

01:31:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001476

beyond our control in terms of the powers that be,

01:31:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001477

geopolitical powers that be.

01:31:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001478

But, however, it is definitely within our control

01:32:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001479

to have the necessary resources ready to be mobilized when the time comes.

01:32:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001480

And the President has clearly given us clear instructions

01:32:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001481

to have the necessary resources.

01:32:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001482

Ito pong pagbigay sa amin ng Pangulo

01:32:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001483

ng 3 billion peso supplemental fund is a very, very clear statement

01:32:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001484

from no less than...

01:32:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001485

the President himself na napakahalaga ng resources.

01:32:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001486

Kaya for our part, Mr. Congressman, if I may speak also for the DMW,

01:32:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001487

ang gusto rin naman na hoon naming level sa action fund namin

01:32:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001488

is 3 billion as set by the President himself.

01:32:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001489

Kasi 2 billion lang hoon kami sa NEP.

01:32:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001490

And then there are items din po to round up the 2 billion figure from the DMW side

01:32:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001491

that had already also been justified in our letter to the Speaker.

01:32:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001492

So, the short answer is,

01:32:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001493

tama po kayo, Mr. Congressman.

01:32:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001494

When it comes to crisis responses,

01:32:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001495

precisely, there is no crystal ball that will tell us when a crisis will occur.

01:33:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001496

And so, we must be sure that there are resources always ready 100% of the time.

01:33:14Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001497

Natigil na po ba yung Middle East conflict?

01:33:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001498

I believe the political expert to conclude on this matter,

01:33:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001499

Mr. Congressman.

01:33:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001500

However, we can say for ourselves that while there is a ceasefire,

01:33:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001501

there was a ceasefire, and it appears to be implemented at the present,

01:33:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001502

we can be sure, based on the incidents that happened 3 weeks ago,

01:33:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001503

that it may reignite or resume at any given time.

01:33:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001504

One side had attacked the other.

01:33:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001505

And to retaliate, once again, we saw attacks in the Gulf states.

01:33:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001506

While we are so thankful to the Gulf states' host governments, countries,

01:34:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001507

for literally, through their defense systems, defending, protecting our workers, our people,

01:34:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001508

again, on the Philippine side, we must also be ready.

01:34:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001509

More than any other origin country, migrant worker origin country, Mr. Chair,

01:34:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001510

tayo po ang nag-respond for our citizens.

01:34:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001511

And we want to keep it that way.

01:34:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001512

We do not want to lose this opportunity to help our Filipinos in crisis.

01:34:32Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001513

So basically, di pa natitigil ang krisis in the Middle East.

01:34:36Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001514

And I have to add that we must also prepare for a possible Taiwan-Strait conflict

01:34:42Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001515

affecting nearly 200,000 Filipinos.

01:34:45Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001516

The government already has contingency planning,

01:34:48Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001517

but Congress must know whether the plan is fully costed and funded.

01:34:54Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001518

So, there is also a risk of stricter or reciprocal immigration enforcement

01:34:58Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001519

arising from our tensions with China.

01:35:00Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001520

More than 100 Filipinos recently, based on reports po,

01:35:04Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001521

ang 100 Filipinos faced immigration action in China

01:35:10Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001522

following the controversy over the Chinese nationals detained dito po sa Pilipinas.

01:35:15Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001523

So, we cannot conclusively call this retaliation,

01:35:18Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001524

but we cannot ignore the possibility of,

01:35:22Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001525

tit-for-tat enforcement.

01:35:24Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001526

Tama po ba?

01:35:25Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001527

Hong Kong has a separate immigration system,

01:35:28Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001528

but it is strictly enforcing its prohibition against unauthorized second or part-time jobs.

01:35:34Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001529

Filipino workers have been arrested or jailed for illegal employment.

01:35:39Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001530

Marami po kasi kami nakausap sa Hong Kong eh.

01:35:41Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001531

Tapos ang sinasabi po nila, karamihan sa kanila,

01:35:44Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001532

kumukuha ng pangalawa, pangatlong trabaho.

01:35:46Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001533

Noon, pinapayagan sila ng Hong Kong, pero ngayon, parang ang nangyayari,

01:35:51Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001534

hinihigpitan po sila, dahil yata,

01:35:52Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001535

mahigpit tayo sa mga Chinese workers dito.

01:35:55Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001536

So, whatever our position, our government position maintained towards China is,

01:36:01Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001537

we must also fund the protection of OFWs who may bear the consequences.

01:36:06Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001538

Madam Chair, may I ask the Secretary,

01:36:09Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001539

how many Filipinos in China and Hong Kong presently have visa,

01:36:13Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001540

are overstaying, or are unauthorized secondary, have secondary work problems?

01:36:20Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001541

And what would be the minimum ERF and WASP funding na kailangan

01:36:27Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001542

for lawyers, detention visits, documentation, medical assistance, and repatriation?

01:36:33Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001543

And Madam Chair, what is the DMW's fully-costed evacuation plan for Filipinos in Taiwan

01:36:39Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001544

if commercial air and sea routes are disrupted?

01:36:43Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001545

What minimum standby ERF is required so that the government can act immediately

01:36:47Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001546

instead of waiting for a supplemental release

01:36:50Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001547

after a crisis has already begun?

01:36:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001548

Mr. Chair, we do have the figures of OFWs in both Hong Kong and China.

01:37:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001549

However, we do not have figures as to who are overstaying,

01:37:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001550

nor those who have secondary lines of work.

01:37:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001551

There would be difficulty gathering this data.

01:37:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001552

But rest assured, over the weekend,

01:37:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001553

we just had an Undersecretary visit Hong Kong

01:37:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001554

and meet with the Filipino community there

01:37:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001555

to assure the community of our support.

01:37:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001556

And thus far, at this stage, Mr. Congressman,

01:37:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001557

we do not see any distress calls that are unusual in Hong Kong at this stage.

01:37:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001558

Of course, there are OFWs who need to be helped.

01:37:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001559

We have our Migrant Resource Center ready always

01:37:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001560

to help our OFWs there.

01:37:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001561

We stand ready always.

01:37:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001562

As to how much will be needed,

01:37:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001563

we feel that, once again,

01:37:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001564

the three billion support of the President

01:37:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001565

really set the benchmark at the very least

01:38:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001566

of what should be provided to our Action Fund.

01:38:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001567

Kaya nga humihingi kami ng karagdagan din sa aming AKSYON Fund

01:38:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001568

so that magiging sapat po.

01:38:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001569

With respect to Taiwan,

01:38:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001570

for these last three years,

01:38:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001571

we have been meeting not just DMW and OWWA.

01:38:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001572

DMW, OWWA, and other relevant agencies

01:38:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001573

with respect to crisis management manuals and processes

01:38:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001574

in the event that a crisis emerges.

01:38:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001575

Hindi ko lang po masabi yung exact details,

01:38:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001576

but rest assured, Mr. Congressman,

01:38:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001577

we can provide the crisis manuals that are in place

01:38:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001578

Saan po makikita, ano ang transport modalities

01:38:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001579

kapag may nangyari in that part of the world.

01:38:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001580

Pero hindi ko po ma-disclose yung detalya at this stage.

01:38:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001581

I hope you understand

01:38:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001582

for security and confidentiality reasons.

01:38:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001583

But rest assured,

01:38:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001584

magtatatlong taon na po

01:38:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001585

kasi isa po ito sa maagang instructions

01:39:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001586

ng ating Pangulo

01:39:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001587

na umupo kami as a whole-of-government

01:39:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001588

aid entity endeavor

01:39:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001589

para handa po tayo

01:39:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001590

kapag nagka-crisis sa Taiwan.

01:39:14Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001591

Madam Chair,

01:39:15Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001593

just a last question.

01:39:18Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001595

Kung sakali po na maubos ang pondo niyo,

01:39:22Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001596

tapos biglang nagkaroon ng crisis,

01:39:25Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001597

ganong katagal po ba ang tingin niyo?

01:39:29Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001598

Halimbawa,

01:39:30Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001599

nagpasa pa ng supplemental budget

01:39:32Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001600

para magkaroon kayo ng additional funding,

01:39:35Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001601

ganong katagal ang magiging response niyo

01:39:37Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001602

kung nagkaroon ng gera sa Taiwan?

01:39:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001603

Sa tingin ko po, dahil nga sa paghahanda namin

01:39:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001604

itong huling tatlong taon

01:39:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001605

ay magiging maagap po ito.

01:39:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001606

Again, this is an inter-agency effort.

01:39:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001607

Of course, geographically,

01:39:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001608

malapit ang Taiwan.

01:39:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001609

So the logistics will not be as difficult, say,

01:39:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001610

as a repatriation effort from the Middle East.

01:40:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001611

And then, of course,

01:40:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001612

merong other government agencies involved.

01:40:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001613

We can disclose this perhaps in confidence.

01:40:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001614

Hindi ko lang po ma-disclose yung precise

01:40:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001615

appointed actions

01:40:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001616

ng bawat government agency.

01:40:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001617

But rest assured po,

01:40:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001618

based on the instructions of the President,

01:40:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001619

we have been meeting

01:40:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001620

and are prepared for this.

01:40:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001621

And our response time will be swift

01:40:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001622

kasi nga po may mga crisis manuals in place na po.

01:40:36Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001623

Kahit po maubos ang pondo ninyo, Madam Chair?

01:40:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001624

Kung maubos ang pondo natin,

01:40:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001626

Well, jointly, of course,

01:40:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001627

with OWWA and the DMW.

01:40:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001628

we will be ready po

01:40:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001629

kasi kasama po

01:40:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001630

sa discussions, ang DBM,

01:40:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001631

ang budget,

01:40:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001632

Office of the Executive Secretary.

01:40:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001633

at we stand ready po

01:40:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001634

to submit the corresponding budget proposals.

01:41:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001635

nakaabang na po yan

01:41:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001636

yung mga necessities natin.

01:41:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001637

Depende po kasi ang crisis management systems natin,

01:41:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001638

depende sa stages and gravity ng crisis.

01:41:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001639

So

01:41:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001640

as the crisis unfolds,

01:41:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001641

deepens or worsens,

01:41:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001642

ay meron pong corresponding resources

01:41:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001643

na nakaabang na napapasok

01:41:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001644

at hihingin.

01:41:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001645

So,

01:41:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001646

naka-itemized na po yung mga bagay na ganyan.

01:41:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001647

So ang turnaround time natin magiging mabilis.

01:41:29Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001648

Madam Chair,

01:41:30Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001649

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001653

01:41:41Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001654

Tandaan po natin na

01:41:42Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001655

ang ating mga OFW,

01:41:44Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001656

ang ating mga bayani ng bayan,

01:41:46Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001657

at sila po, they contribute a large chunk

01:41:48Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001658

of our GDP.

01:41:50Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001659

So they contribute a large chunk

01:41:53Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001660

to our GDP.

01:41:53Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001661

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001679

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001680

Kitang-kita naman po natin lahat ng

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001681

lifeline po ng ating mga departamento.

01:42:40Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001682

Ang DMW ay

01:42:41Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001683

ang AKSYON Fund

01:42:43Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001684

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

01:42:48Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001687

para makatulong po sa lahat ng mga kababayan natin

01:42:50Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001688

na nangangailangan ng assistance

01:42:52Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001689

noong krisis po

01:42:53Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001690

na kinakaharapan po natin.

01:42:57Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001691

In regards po sa

01:42:58Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001692

healthcare po ng ating mga

01:43:00Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001693

01:43:03Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001694

alam ko po

01:43:04Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001695

gumagastos, ginagastos niyo din po

01:43:06Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001696

ang AKSYON Fund para po dito.

01:43:08Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001697

Tama po ba?

01:43:09Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001698

And gusto ko lang po malaman

01:43:11Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001699

ang ating mga OFWs po ba

01:43:13Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001700

mandatory po ba ang pagbayad nila

01:43:15Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001701

sa PhilHealth?

01:43:16Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001702

And kung

01:43:17Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001703

nakakatulong po ba ang PhilHealth sa pagbawas po

01:43:22Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001704

o sa pagbigay po ng

01:43:24Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001705

panggastos po sa

01:43:25Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001706

pangangailangan medikal ng ating mga OFWs.

01:43:28Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001707

Thank you, Madam Chair.

01:43:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001708

Yes po.

01:43:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001709

Maraming salamat, Madam Chair,

01:43:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001710

Mr. Chair, Mr. Congressman,

01:43:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001711

sa tanong.

01:43:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001712

At yung pong PhilHealth is mandatory.

01:43:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001713

It's prescribed by law.

01:43:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001714

Siguro masasabi ko lang dito muna

01:43:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001715

at the outset

01:43:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001716

ay hindi ho kami miyembro

01:43:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001717

ng PhilHealth Board,

01:43:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001718

but we will make a proposal

01:43:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001719

to amend the PhilHealth law

01:43:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001720

kasi DOLE po, nung nasa DOLE pa kami,

01:43:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001721

DOLE represented

01:43:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001722

the overseas Filipino workers

01:43:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001723

at the PhilHealth Board.

01:44:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001724

So baka mainam po na

01:44:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001725

bigyan kami ng seat ng OWWA

01:44:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001726

sa PhilHealth Board

01:44:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001727

to represent the OFW interest kasi nagko-contribute din ng OFW

01:44:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001728

sa PhilHealth Fund.

01:44:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001729

And pangalawa,

01:44:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001730

admittedly po,

01:44:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001731

perhaps we need

01:44:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001732

of course

01:44:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001733

Of course, President Beverly Ho is known

01:44:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001734

to us. She's a good colleague

01:44:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001735

from way back during the

01:44:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001736

health crisis, previous health crisis

01:44:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001737

pandemic.

01:44:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001738

But perhaps

01:44:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001739

we need to make a call to

01:44:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001740

President Ho and find out

01:44:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001741

exactly how we could partner

01:44:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001742

with PhilHealth. But the way

01:44:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001743

the Overseas Action Fund works

01:44:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001744

is that kami po,

01:44:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001745

naglalabas kami ng

01:44:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001746

pera at wala ho kaming

01:44:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001747

ceiling sa tinutulungan

01:44:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001748

ng ating OFWs na kailangan magbayad

01:44:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001749

ng hospital bills at gamot.

01:44:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001750

But, ang kailangan ko lang ho i-emphasize dito, kapag may insurance coverage ang OFW, at karamihan naman po, majority of OFWs do have host country insurance coverage in fairness, hinahayaan ho muna natin magbayad yung insurance cover nila.

01:45:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001751

Kaya meron din hong mandatory insurance from our side, so hinahayaan din natin magbayad yung insurance, private insurance from our side. Kung wala pong insurance coverage on either side, doon po papasok ang AKSYON Fund.

01:45:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001752

And I must say, pag nagbayad po tayo ng hospital bills, assuming that we had negotiated with the hospital at a barest minimum kung ano yung maitatalaga nilang hospital bill expense,

01:45:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001753

binabayaran po natin, Mr. Chair, we do not even set a ceiling as I mentioned. So by way of example, kung malubha yung isang kaso nating stage 4 cancer, more than a million pesos ang hospital bill, binayaran po natin ang hospital bill para makauwi po yung kababayan natin may stage 4 cancer at makapiling niya yung pamilya niya in his dying moments kasi nasawi rin po siya sa kinasamaang-palad.

01:46:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001754

But at least nung mga huling sandali niya, huling...

01:46:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001755

himlayan, kapiling niya yung kanyang pamilya at binayaran natin yung more than 1 million peso hospital bill niya.

01:46:19Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001756

Thank you, Mr. Secretary, sa inyong sagot. Kita naman po natin na action fund po ay hindi lang po para sa repatriation kundi malaki din po itong pakinabang po sa healthcare po ng ating mga kababayan.

01:46:31Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001757

And kaya naman po dapat supportahan po talaga natin ang pagtaas po ng action fund at ng ERF ng Departamento ng DMW.

01:46:39Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001758

At kita din po natin sila po ang mga frontliners, sila po ang sumasagot sa mga saklolo ng ating mga kababayan diyan po sa gera po na kinaharap natin sa Middle East.

01:46:50Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001759

And nakakasama po ng loob na nakikita po natin na ultimo po yung sweldo po ng ating mga JOs po dyan po sa OWWA ay hindi pa po tama.

01:47:04Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001760

Tama ba na 888 pa kayo, diba? Nakakahiya naman po yun.

01:47:10Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001761

And nabisita ko po ang kanilang tanggapan.

01:47:13Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001762

Nakita ko po ang kagamitan po nila doon.

01:47:15Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001763

Paano ka po makakasagot po sa mga iyak ng mga kababayan natin kung ang kagamitan po nila ay 19 kopong-kopong pa po.

01:47:27Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001764

Yung iba po doon napakaluma na para makapagsilbi lang po sa taong bayan,

01:47:32Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001765

ang mga empleyado po o mga JO po natin na sumasagot po sa call center po ng OWWA ay gamit po nila ang kanilang personal na kagamitan.

01:47:41Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001766

Hindi lang yun, madami na rin po kailangan pagawa din sa kanilang building.

01:47:46Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001767

Balita ko po may water feature na po kayo doon na waterfall sa loob po ng inyong building.

01:47:51Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001768

And wala na.

01:47:54Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001769

So yun po, isa po sa mga kailangan po natin talaga is dagdagan po at bigyan po ng natamang supporta ang Department of Migrant Workers at ang OWWA

01:48:05Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001770

dahil yun nga po kailangan po natin pangalagaan ang ating OFWs tulad po ng sabi po ni

01:48:12Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001771

Congressman Nazal, kanina na malaki po ang ambag ng ating mga kababayang OFWs

01:48:17Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001772

and dapat naman po talaga we need to go the extra mile for these kababayans

01:48:22Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001773

who travel across the world para mabigyan po ng kabuhayan ang kanilang mga pamilya.

01:48:27Source

Rep. Bryan B. Revilla

asr-001774

Maraming salamat po, Madam Chair, yun lang po.

01:48:33Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-001775

Thank you so much, Honorable Bryan Revilla.

01:48:37Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-001776

Now, from the majority, we recognize Honorable Ditse Tina Pancho.

01:48:44Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001777

Good afternoon po, Mr. Chair.

01:48:47Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001778

Mr. Chair, nakita po natin dito na we have hospitals for OFW patients.

01:48:53Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001779

So, like in our case po, in Bulacan, we have OFWs po na pag-uwi, may mga sakit.

01:49:00Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001780

So, may we know kung ano na po mga hospital na makaka-avail po yung ating mga pasyente?

01:49:06Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001781

Kasi with DOH, they have list ng government hospitals.

01:49:11Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001782

So, do you have the same list with the DOH?

01:49:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001783

Yes po, Madam Chair, Madam Congresswoman.

01:49:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

Two things po. Una is we have an OFW hospital in San Fernando, Pampanga.

01:49:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001785

At marami po sa kanila doon ay mga...

01:49:25Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001786

Mr. Chair, is that JBL or another?

01:49:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001787

It's another hospital po. It's maybe a few kilometer, less than one kilometer away from JBL.

01:49:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001788

It's in San Fernando po.

01:49:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001789

And...

01:49:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001790

OFW.

01:49:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001791

Sindalan, no?

01:49:42Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001792

Sindalan.

01:49:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001794

And marami po mga Bulacan OFWs na idadala, nakikinabang din po dito.

01:49:51Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001795

Paano po yung process nun?

01:49:53Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001796

The same with DOH, may MOA po sa inyo?

01:49:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001797

Kami po ang...

01:49:57Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001798

Or they have to go there directly, tapos...

01:49:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001799

Yes, they can go there directly, ma'am, through our regional office or directly walk in sa hospital.

01:50:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001800

At tutulungan po namin sila.

01:50:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001801

Meron pong urgent care facility for those needing

01:50:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001802

Emergency care.

01:50:15Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001803

May requirements po o...

01:50:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001804

Ma'am...

01:50:18Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001805

Basta may ID lang sila na they work for...

01:50:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001806

Ma'am, simple lang ang requirement.

01:50:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001807

Basta current or former OFW, hindi na nga ho namin tinitignan, ma'am, gano'ng katagal naging OFW.

01:50:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001808

Kahit 2003 lang, halimbawa, tinatanggap po namin.

01:50:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001809

And then, ang dependents po nila, puwede rin po.

01:50:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001810

By dependents, we mean immediate ascendants, so parents, and then immediate descendants, mga anak.

01:50:43Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001811

Ano po yung hospital bill nila, fully paid lahat o...

01:50:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001812

Yes.

01:50:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001813

Fully paid, ma'am.

01:50:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001814

By way of example, we have had around 100 childbirths.

01:50:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001815

Mga OFWs po ito na nanganak sa ospital.

01:50:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001816

Libring-libre po lahat.

01:50:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001817

Wala silang sinasagot kahit isang kusing.

01:51:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001818

And then, of course, may outpatient facility, blood work.

01:51:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001819

And then, ang realidad lang po, we are level 2 hospital.

01:51:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001820

So hindi pa ho ganap ang

01:51:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001821

aming services.

01:51:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001822

So, meron pa rin kaming referrals to JBL and other hospitals.

01:51:19Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001823

So, sa JBL pa rin po yung...

01:51:21Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001824

Kasi pag sa JBL, usually, JBL na po sila.

01:51:25Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001825

They won't transfer to other hospitals.

01:51:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001826

Kapag major na po at wala po doon sa services that we provide,

01:51:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001827

ang surgery, for instance, then we refer accordingly to JBL.

01:51:39Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001828

So, ang facilities, hindi pa po kumpleto?

01:51:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001830

To the extent that it is a level 2 hospital, kumpleto po, ma'am.

01:51:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001831

Pero hindi nga po talaga pa level 3.

01:51:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001832

Ma'am, can I ask USEC Nikki to also help me respond to the query?

01:51:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001833

USEC Nikki is the USEC in charge of the hospital.

01:52:00Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001834

Thank you, Madam Chair.

01:52:02Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001835

With the permission of the Secretary po.

01:52:03Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001836

Yung nabanggit po kanina ni Secretary Hans,

01:52:06Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001837

papaano pumupunta ang mga OFWs sa OFW hospital.

01:52:10Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001838

May mga cases po na tinatawag lang.

01:52:13Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001839

po sa amin.

01:52:14Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001840

And then the patient do not have the capacity like pamasahe or hindi makalakad.

01:52:20Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001841

So, pinapasundo po namin yan ng ambulance po namin.

01:52:24Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001842

Either from Pampanga po, manggagaling yung ambulance.

01:52:27Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001843

O meron din po kami dito sa OWWA at saka po sa DMW.

01:52:31Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001844

So, iahatid po yung patient sa OFW hospital, urgent care, sa emergency room po.

01:52:37Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001845

And then, i-assess po yan ng doctor.

01:52:39Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001846

So, may cases po na talagang they have to...

01:52:43Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001847

stay at the hospital for complete medical checks po.

01:52:47Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001848

And then, after assessment, kung okay na po siya, ma'am,

01:52:51Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001849

ibabalik din po namin siya sa bahay nila.

01:52:53Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001850

And then, there's follow-through by phone po.

01:52:57Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001851

In terms po of the services, as mentioned po by the Secretary,

01:53:01Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001852

while it's not level 3 yet, may mga cases po na halimbawa,

01:53:07Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001853

patient ng OFW hospital, i-refer namin sa JBL.

01:53:11Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001854

But in the same manner, dahil we know,

01:53:13Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001855

the cases also sa JBL na medyo, ano na rin po, punong-puno.

01:53:20Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001856

So, pagka po may mga cases na kaya for level 2,

01:53:24Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001857

si JBL po, dadalhin naman po sa OFW hospital yung pasyente.

01:53:28Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001858

So, that's how it works.

01:53:29Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001859

And zero billing, yes, because we're also supported by PhilHealth,

01:53:34Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001860

by MAIPIF, and then OWWA.

01:53:36Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-001861

And yung pondo po mismo ng hospital, yung MOOE po.

01:53:42Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001862

Ma'am, with all the services that you give,

01:53:43Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001863

to the OFWs, nakapagtataka, bakit binabawasan pa kayo?

01:53:49Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001864

Di ba? Kasi nakakaawa naman po,

01:53:52Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001865

kasi yung puro sacrifices na po on the part of the OFWs,

01:53:57Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001866

pero hindi nabibigyan ng magandang budget.

01:54:00Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001867

So, sana po mapakinggan tayo ng DBM,

01:54:02Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001868

para may pagpatuloy po natin yung support natin to our kababayans.

01:54:07Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-001869

Thank you po, Mr. Chair.

01:54:13Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

01:54:29Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001873

Good afternoon po to the Honorable Committee,

01:54:32Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001874

Sec. Hans, Admin PY, the DMW, and the OWWA families.

01:54:36Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001875

Magandang hapon po sa inyo.

01:54:38Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001876

Habang pasan po na ating mga OFW ang paglilingkod at pagsaservisyo sa mundo,

01:54:43Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001877

sino po ang nag-aalaga sa kanila?

01:54:46Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001878

Ito po ang mahalagang papel ng DMW at ng OWA.

01:54:50Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001879

The DMW's mandate is to ensure that policy becomes protection

01:54:54Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001880

and that protection becomes tangible relief on the ground.

01:54:58Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001881

Pinatunayan po ito ng DMW at ng OWA, lalo na po noong mga nakaraang buwan.

01:55:03Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001882

Sa gitna po ng digmaan at panganib na riyan po ang DMW at ang OWA.

01:55:09Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001883

Hindi po madali ang inyong gawain, and yet you persist with quiet courage and resolve.

01:55:16Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001884

At patunay po kayo na ang serbisyo publiko,

01:55:19Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001885

ay may puso mapagkalinga at matapang na paninindigan

01:55:22Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001886

pagdating po sa pagtatanggol ng karapatan at kapakanan ng ating mga kababayan.

01:55:27Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001887

Maraming salamat po sa inyong serbisyo.

01:55:30Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001888

Now, I will be touching on the, I think, yung mga pinaka-importante po

01:55:36Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001889

at mga paborito ko pong programa ng DMW at ng OWWA.

01:55:40Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001890

Specifically po sa Action Fund na lagi pong in action.

01:55:45Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001891

We have seen Action Fund in action in many ways, in many times.

01:55:49Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001892

At personally, nakita ko po talaga yan.

01:55:51Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001893

Gusto lang po natin bigyan emphasis on record.

01:55:54Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001894

Ilan po ba ang naging benepisyaryo so far ng Action Fund for 2026?

01:56:01Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001895

And maybe po, Madam Chair, the department can share with us kung ano po ang kanilang magiging pondo so far for 2027.

01:56:10Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001896

And sa tingin po ba nila, ay sapat nila ito?

01:56:13Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001897

At kung hindi, let's make it of record, ilan po ba ang kailangan po ng DMW to service?

01:56:18Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001898

All our Filipino OFWs abroad, hindi lamang po yung nasa gitna po ng Middle East crisis,

01:56:24Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001899

kundi pati po yung mga nabibiktima na ating mga, yung mga scam hubs, nasa Asia po yan so far.

01:56:30Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001900

Ang dami rin po nating kailangan serbisyohan.

01:56:34Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001901

Maybe we can start po with the Action Fund, Madam Chair.

01:56:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001902

Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, our dear budget sponsor last year.

01:56:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

And congratulations po on your chairship

01:56:49Source

01:56:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

Doon po sa Action Fund, as you know, it's a legal, medical, and financial assistance fund.

01:57:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001906

Meron po tayong 80,000, as I mentioned, financially assisted, 14,000 OFWs with pending or past legal cases

01:57:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001907

handled by our law firms and in-house lawyers.

01:57:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001908

And then meron din tayong around 5,000 medical cases na natulungan.

01:57:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001909

As I said, hindi po natin tinutulungan pagka-covered upon ng insurance at nababayaran ng insurance yung medical coverage nila.

01:57:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-001910

Having said this, with your permission, Madam Chair, can I ask Undersecretary Felicitas Bay, who handles the Action Fund, on the details of the budget?

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001927

aside from the financial assistance,

01:59:22Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001928

we also have our legal retainers because of the ongoing legal pending and cases we have in our various posts.

01:59:34Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

We have 32 legal retainers.

So, yun po yung ating mga tinutulungan.

Ganon din po, nabanggit kanina yung medical retainer.

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001941

and we have a medical retainer in Dubai.

02:00:17Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001943

para po sa ating mga kababayan na nagkakasakit.

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001945

yun pong medical na nagkulang sa insurance or the insurance is not sufficient or cannot be covered.

02:00:43Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

which is covered by the Action Fund.

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001950

As the Honorable Chair and Representative Bautista would know,

02:00:59Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001951

ang Action Fund po ay covering documented and undocumented OFWs.

02:01:07Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001952

So, we cater to all our OFWs and we don't discriminate.

02:01:12Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001953

Magandang hapon po muli, ma'am.

02:01:14Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001954

Yes, ma'am. Thank you po.

02:01:16Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001955

Follow-up ko lang po.

02:01:17Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001956

So, kung magkano po ba ang Action Fund currently doon po sa NEP?

02:01:23Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001957

And if based on your assessment, sapat na po ba?

02:01:26Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001958

And kung kailangan po, sa tingin niyo po ay hindi sapat, magkano pa po ba ang kulang?

02:01:30Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001959

Sa tingin niyo, maybe we can justify ngayon po and make it of record.

02:01:33Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001960

Salamat po.

02:01:36Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001961

Ma'am, sa NEP po ay 2 billion yung sa ating Action Fund.

02:01:41Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001962

At kung kami po ay hihiling, at ito po ay additional 1 billion po.

02:01:48Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001963

So, can we explain bakit po natin nire-request yung additional 1 billion fund?

02:01:54Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001964

I believe last year po, 2 billion po ang naibigay.

02:01:57Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001965

Nakita po natin malinaw, kulang na kulang po yan.

02:02:00Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001966

Kaya po nagkaroon ng supplemental.

02:02:01Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001967

Maraming salamat po kay President.

02:02:03Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001968

Pero hopefully, hindi po kailanganin.

02:02:05Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001969

But at the rate that you've seen when we have to respond into emergency crisis such as that,

02:02:11Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001970

maybe meron po tayong justification bakit po 1 billion ang additional na hinihiling po natin.

02:02:18Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001971

Yes, ma'am, the NEP is for 2 billion and ang kahilingan po ng ating Departamento ay an additional of 1 billion

02:02:27Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001972

to cover welfare assistance, financial, medical, repatriation, and our legal assistance.

02:02:35Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001973

Gusto din po namin sanang matapatan or if it can be equivalent or corresponding to what the President has given,

02:02:43Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001974

the additional 3 billion fund.

02:02:45Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001975

Which is to answer and to help us manage with the ongoing geopolitical crisis,

02:02:54Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001976

which also not covers only the land base because we also have a lot of seafaring concerns affecting our sea-based workers

02:03:05Source

DMW Undersecretary Felicitas Q. Bay

asr-001977

and other concerns affecting our Filipino workers.

02:03:11Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001978

Yes, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, Madam Chair.

02:03:13Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001979

And I would like to manifest my support.

02:03:15Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001980

For the requested increase of the DMW for the 1 billion.

02:03:19Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001981

And we know na ito pong Action Fund is always in action and always needs the resources they need.

02:03:25Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001982

Na riyan po, mararamdaman po agad ng ating mga kababayan na malayo po sa atin.

02:03:30Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001983

Now, in relation to that, meron din po parang ganitong pondo ang OWA, ang ERF,

02:03:36Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001984

na nalulungkot po tayong marinig, na nabawasan po, nabalitaan po natin.

02:03:41Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001985

And maybe the OWA Administrator can confirm, Madam Chair,

02:03:45Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001986

na nabawasan po ang kanilang ERF.

02:03:48Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001987

And maybe the OWA can explain ano po ba ang acceptable level of funding for our ERF

02:03:57Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001988

and yung mga beneficiaries po natin, ang services natin,

02:04:00Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001989

and ano po sa tingin po nila ang acceptable level of the ERF funding, Madam Chair.

02:04:05Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-001990

Thank you po.

02:04:07Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001991

Madam Chair, of course, our dear former budget sponsor, maraming maraming salamat po.

02:04:15Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001992

Yung adbokasiya niyo po talaga para sa ating mga OFWs tuloy-tuloy po, Madam Chair.

02:04:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001993

At maraming salamat po.

02:04:25Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001994

At for the record po, nagpapasalamat po kami talaga kay Congresswoman Bautista.

02:04:31Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001995

Talaga po nag-immerse siya doon sa operations ng parehong DEMW at OWA.

02:04:35Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001996

At kitang-kita po doon sa kanyang komento, pareho po sila ni Kong Bryan Revilla

02:04:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001997

na aming pong dinala.

02:04:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001998

sa lahat po ng aming mga iba't ibang programa.

02:04:48Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-001999

At nakita pa nga ni Kong Revilla, hindi niya makalimutan siguro,

02:04:52Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002000

yung lumang-lumang mga computer na ngayon po dahan-dahan at napapalitan na po.

02:04:57Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002001

Kong Brian, maraming salamat.

02:05:00Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002002

Regarding the Emergency Repatriation Fund,

02:05:04Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002003

nasabi ko na po, tatlong taon na nasa 1.2 billion po ang level po nito.

02:05:10Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002004

Ngayon po sa NEP natin, nasa 900 million na lamang po.

02:05:15Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002005

Kahit na nasa kaligitnaan pa rin tayo ng isang geopolitical crisis.

02:05:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002006

Itong taon lang po itong mismo, 1.6 billion na po ang nagastos ng OWA sa repatriation-related expenses.

02:05:30Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002007

Madam Chair, isa pong numero na bago kong sasabihin, to put on record, Madam Chair,

02:05:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002008

the Emergency Repatriation Fund has served already 139,688 OFW clients.

02:05:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002009

As of July 31 of this year.

02:05:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002010

At the rate we're going, Madam Chair, we will finish as forecasted, around 240 to 250,000 clients.

02:05:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002011

And we are thankful to the President, and of course, the support of Congress as well,

02:06:04Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002012

and the Department of Budget and Management for the additional 700 million supplemental.

02:06:11Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002013

Madam Chair, kami po ay tumatakbo na lang dun sa supplemental.

02:06:15Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002014

Ubus na po ang continuing from last year.

02:06:17Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002015

Ubus na po ang 1.2.

02:06:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002016

At ngayon po, ay dun na po kami tumatakbo dun sa dagdag na pondo.

02:06:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002017

Ang malaki yung concern namin dito, ay isa pa lang po yung crisis.

02:06:33Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002018

Dun sa regional crisis na yun, ay nakita po natin na ang pondo ng DMW at OWA ay pwedeng sa loob ng tatlo hanggang anim na buwan maubos agad.

02:06:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002019

So, depende sa kung gaano kadami ang apektado pong OFWs.

02:06:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002020

Madam Chair, gusto po namin maging handa.

02:06:53Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002021

Handa para magbigay ng serbisyo kung ano man pong kaguluhan ang mangyari.

02:06:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002022

Sa aming pong pananaw, ang hinihiling po namin, Madam Chair, at the minimum, ma-restore at 1.2.

02:07:06Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002023

Ngunit, ang hinihingi po namin, base dun sa aming sulat na ipinadala po sa ating mahal na speaker,

02:07:12Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002024

is an additional 575

02:07:15Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002025

million to the 900 plus million.

02:07:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002026

Para po, kami po ay nasa a little bit below the 1.5 billion mark.

02:07:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002027

Napaka-importante po na parehong action fund at ERF ang may pondo.

02:07:33Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002028

Kasi meron pong mga gastos na hindi po pwedeng bayaran ng ERF.

02:07:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002029

At meron pong mga gastos na pang action fund po talaga siya.

02:07:42Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002030

So, meron po kaming complimentary po yan para whole package po ang serbisyo namin para sa OFWs, Madam Chair.

02:07:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002031

So, ang hiling po namin is an additional 575 million po para po sa emergency repatriation fund po, Madam Chair.

02:08:01Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002032

Thank you po, Madam Chair.

02:08:03Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002033

And in relation to that, I also manifest my strong support for the return of at least the minimum of 1.2 billion ng ERF.

02:08:12Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002034

At kung maaari pa po ay the few hundred million na nire-request po ng OWA.

02:08:16Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002035

Dahil nakikita naman po natin, diretsyo naman po sa tao ang pinupuntahan ng mga pondong yan.

02:08:22Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002036

At pagka po yan ay nababawasan kasi meron pa rin pong mga lugar na kailangan pa rin pong pagserbisyohan.

02:08:29Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002037

Baka po mawalan sila ng allocation for that.

02:08:31Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002038

Now, lastly na lang po, given the limited time, andami po, na-mention po yung immersion.

02:08:36Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002039

Lahat po yan, yung mga shelter, yung mga serbisyo ng ano,

02:08:42Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002040

Nakita po natin lahat yan, totoo po talaga.

02:08:44Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002041

That's why I express my very strong support for the increase for the funds of Action Fund and the ERF.

02:08:50Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002042

Now, pagka po tayo ay nagre-rescue, nagre-repatriate, hindi po natatapos doon ang serbisyon ng DMW at ng ating gobyerno.

02:08:58Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002043

Napaka-importante po, lalo na po sa amin, ang reintegration program.

02:09:02Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002044

I think na-touch up pa na po yan kanina, but we also just want to check on the funding of the reintegration program.

02:09:09Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002045

Hindi po kasi po pwede na uuwi lang.

02:09:11Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002046

Sila dito, gusto po natin, sila ay panatag pa rin pagbalik nila dito, whether babalik sila abroad or mapapanatili na dito.

02:09:19Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002047

Ano po ba ang mga serbisyo nito? Magkano po ang pondo? Sapat po ba?

02:09:23Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002048

At kung hindi po ay maybe we can make it of record na rin po, and we can justify it po.

02:09:29Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-002049

Thank you, Madam Chair.

02:09:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002050

With your permission, Madam Chair, I will start things off.

02:09:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002051

But we have our Assistant Secretary for Reintegration here who can supply the details.

02:09:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002052

But essentially, ang framework po natin, kalinga, kaalaman, kabuhayan, at kaagapay.

02:09:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002053

So, yung kalinga is yung psychosocial welfare side sa mga nanunumbalik.

02:09:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002054

As I mentioned, when you speak of the U.S.-Israel-Iran war,

02:09:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002055

mismo si Presidente, nung sumalubong sa mga nanumbalik,

02:10:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002056

nagtanong at may mga nagkwento, iba pa nga sa kanila, mga bata,

02:10:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002057

na nakadinig ng pagyanig ng lupa, ng bahay,

02:10:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002058

kapag merong falling debris ng projectiles or missile attacks na nainkwentro sila sa host country,

02:10:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002059

sa kasagsagan ng hidwaan.

02:10:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002060

So, that's the kalinga portion.

02:10:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002061

And since that time, around 6,000 had been provided this particular welfare assistance,

02:10:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002062

psychosocial counseling, and other welfare interventions.

02:10:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002063

Yung kaalaman is yung skills training interventions with DG Kiko Benitez.

02:10:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002064

So, mga also, nearly around 5,000 naman po nabigyan ng serbisyo along these lines.

02:10:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002065

Yung mga nanumbalik para mag-retool, mag-retrain.

02:10:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002066

Halimbawa, domestic worker who were 30% of those who returned,

02:10:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002067

binigyan ng bagong panimula by way of a barista training sa TESDA.

02:10:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002068

Para siya naman ay hindi lamang domestic worker, kundi maging barista sa isang coffee shop or restaurant.

02:11:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002069

So, meron pong ganitong efforts, 5,000 ay nabiyayaan along these lines.

02:11:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002070

And then, meron pong kabuhayan.

02:11:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002071

In the first semester, mga higit kumulang 2,000 ang nakapag-avail ng capital assistance,

02:11:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002072

not just from DMW OWA, but other agencies such as DTI, DOT, and DA Agriculture.

02:11:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002073

Merong kaagapay, kasi ang ibig sabihin naman ng kaagapay, so 4Ks po ito, no?

02:11:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002074

Yung pang-apat na K is kaagapay, kasi si Pangulong Marcos, bago pa nangyari itong sigalot,

02:11:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002075

binuklod na kaming lahat na government agencies.

02:11:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002076

into a national reintegration network.

02:11:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002077

Kaya nakita na po ni Presidente na hindi lamang DMW-OWWA, but obviously other government agencies

02:11:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002078

should provide the necessary assistance by way of re-employment, livelihood, or retooling or reskilling.

02:11:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002079

For the details dun sa budget, the good news is for the first time during your time in the President's term

02:12:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002080

and this particular Congress.

02:12:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002081

So, naging nine figures in the 100 million.

02:12:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002082

So, maniwala po kayo't hindi, below 100 million lang dati ang MOOE ng National Reintegration Center.

02:12:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002083

At hindi lamang po tumuntong ng nine figures, kundi 300 million na po ang incoming budget sa NEP

02:12:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002084

ng MOOE ng National Reintegration Center.

02:12:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002085

However, humihingi pa po kami ng additional 300 para tuluyan maging ganap.

02:12:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002086

Kasi yung binabanggit po kanina, pangangailangan,

02:12:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002087

sa crisis, also includes, para sa mga nasa abroad, also includes crisis interventions sa kanilang panumbalik.

02:12:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002088

So, with your permission, Madam Chair, can I request Asec. Kiko de Guzman

02:12:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002089

to give the necessary details dun sa hinihiling pa naming budget intervention or karagdagan dito sa House.

02:13:05Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002090

With the permission of the Secretary, thank you very much to the members of the Committee,

02:13:11Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002091

Doon po sa kasalukuyan, binigyan na po kami ng, ang binibigay po sa amin is 309 million.

02:13:19Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002092

We're projecting approximately 51,000 beneficiaries, both OFW and OFW families.

02:13:25Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002093

And then doon naman po sa karagdagang hiling namin would be 321 million,

02:13:32Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002094

roughly the same number din po ng beneficiary count ang ina-expect.

02:13:37Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002095

For context po, Madam Chair,

02:13:39Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002096

it is, I believe,

02:13:40Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002097

in this same room last November

02:13:43Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002098

when we were deliberating the bagong Balikbayan Bill

02:13:46Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002099

na members of the House actually humirit po sa DMW.

02:13:51Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

Ang sabi po ng iba nating mga kagalang-galang na kongresista,

02:13:54Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002101

ang sabi nila, parang ang hina naman yata

02:13:57Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002102

yung magbigay at magbalik ng benepisyo

02:14:01Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002103

para doon sa mga OFW natin.

02:14:03Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002104

At that time po, ang livelihood assistance po ng DMW

02:14:07Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002105

is pegged at 10,000.

02:14:09Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002106

So medyo ang hirit pa nga noon, ano ba yan?

02:14:12Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002107

Sabi nila, parang namang for what they actually give

02:14:15Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002108

to the national economy,

02:14:17Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002109

they are expected to start a livelihood

02:14:20Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002110

back in the Philippines for 10,000.

02:14:23Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

Pinakinggan po namin iyon,

tinaas po namin ng bahagya to 15,000.

02:14:32Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002114

Although, ideally po sana gusto namin gawing 20,000

02:14:36Source

DMW Assistant Secretary Francis Ron C. De Guzman

asr-002115

yung panimula sa pagbabalik po ng mga OFW.

02:14:39Source

Good afternoon, Madam Chair,

02:21:40Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002319

Secretary Hans,

02:21:42Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002320

of course, Admin PY.

02:21:44Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002321

Una sa lahat,

02:21:46Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002322

nais ko pong

02:21:46Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002323

i-congratulate at i-commend ang DMW

02:21:49Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002324

sa

02:21:50Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002325

inyong leadership po na

02:21:53Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002326

pinakita sa

02:21:54Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002327

pag-protect sa ating mga OFW, especially

02:21:57Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002328

itong nakaraang mga krisis.

02:21:59Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002329

Alam ko hong hindi madali yun,

02:22:01Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002330

especially because,

02:22:02Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002331

I had the opportunity of

02:22:03Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002332

working closely with you

02:22:05Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002333

when I was chairperson

02:22:06Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002334

in the 19th Congress of the Committee

02:22:08Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002335

on Overseas Filipino Workers

02:22:10Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002336

and that really gave me

02:22:12Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002337

a different insight

02:22:13Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002338

on how the DMW works

02:22:15Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002339

and I would have to commend

02:22:17Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002340

the leadership of

02:22:18Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002341

Secretary Kakdak for that.

02:22:21Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002342

I was supposed to ask about

02:22:23Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002343

reintegration, no?

02:22:24Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002344

And I think

02:22:24Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002345

Secretary Hans was able to provide

02:22:27Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002346

a more comprehensive understanding

02:22:30Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002347

or

02:22:31Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002349

a situationer for our

02:22:33Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002350

national integration policy.

02:22:36Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002351

Ang tanong ko lang, Sec,

02:22:37Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002352

do we already have the data,

02:22:39Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002353

at least for the pilot implementation,

02:22:42Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002354

kung ilan po sa mga OFW natin

02:22:44Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002355

ang masasabi talaga natin

02:22:46Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002356

yung successfully reintegrated,

02:22:47Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002357

whether in terms of employment,

02:22:49Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002358

in terms of setting up their businesses,

02:22:51Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002359

or di kaya

02:22:53Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002360

ah, sila ay

02:22:55Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002361

nag-upskill through education

02:22:58Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002362

for them to be

02:22:59Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002363

successfully reintegrated.

02:23:02Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002364

Ah, I just want to know this,

02:23:04Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002365

ah, Secretary, kasi

02:23:05Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002366

baka kasi minsan madaling i-report

02:23:09Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002367

yung ilan ang beneficiaries,

02:23:11Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002368

but as to the impact

02:23:12Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002369

ng programs sa kanila,

02:23:14Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002370

ah, hindi naman ho ito,

02:23:16Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002371

kumbaga, this is just to

02:23:18Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002372

allow also Congress to have a better

02:23:20Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002373

appreciation of whether

02:23:22Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002374

we need to add more resources

02:23:24Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002375

or help strengthen the programs,

02:23:27Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002376

especially that we are on the final

02:23:29Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002377

stage of passing the Bagong Balikbayan Act.

02:23:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002379

Ah, Madam Chair.

02:23:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002380

Thank you, Madam Chair.

02:23:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002381

Thank you to our previous Chair

02:23:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002383

and our dear Congressman,

02:23:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002384

good to see you again, Sir.

02:23:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002385

Ah, yes, ah,

02:23:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002386

we had disclosed figures

02:23:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002387

ah, kanina po ah,

02:23:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002388

sa tanong ni, ah,

02:23:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002389

our, ah, former budget

02:23:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002390

sponsor, ah, Kong Johan,

02:23:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002391

um, around 6,000 dun sa ah,

02:23:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002392

welfare interventions.

02:24:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002395

nearly 5,000 sa training intervention, sa kabuhayan, around 2,000, nearly 2,000.

02:24:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002396

Doon naman, ito yung patungkulan sa current na crisis, yung Middle East crisis.

02:24:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002397

Si Admin PY would have, because they had a study on the impact,

02:24:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002398

alam ko na ho yung percentage ng kanilang still ongoing businesses na nabigyan ng livelihood,

02:24:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002399

but I will request, if permitted by the Chair, the good administrator to report on this.

02:24:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002400

But yes, we are monitoring the impact.

02:24:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002401

That is something that we had also picked up during your time, Chairship, Mr. Congressman,

02:24:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002402

in terms of yung instruction yun noon na mag-monitor,

02:24:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002403

which also was related to the development of the Balikbayan Bill,

02:24:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002404

which had been passed already.

02:24:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002405

So we're thankful.

02:25:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002406

to this August Chamber.

02:25:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002407

So we are mindful of monitoring the current businesses.

02:25:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002408

Halimbawa po, itong mga returnees natin, in terms of not just the livelihood,

02:25:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002409

but the re-employment interventions,

02:25:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002410

higit kumulang po, mga at least 3,000 ang naabisuhan natin,

02:25:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002411

na nabigyan natin ng

02:25:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002412

re-employment options by way of information about job orders

02:25:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002413

na binigyan natin sa kanila.

02:25:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002414

Sinabi natin, halimbawa, kung returning barista siya from the UAE,

02:25:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002415

binigyan natin siya ng information tungkol sa job orders in the database ng DMW,

02:25:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002416

kung nasaan yung mga recruitment agencies with similar job orders in Asia, Europe, and in the Americas.

02:25:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002417

So, as

02:26:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002418

we speak, ongoing po itong interaction ng ating mga re-employment returnees.

02:26:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002419

But for the rest of the evaluation ng kanilang reintegration program,

02:26:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002420

I will have to request the Admin PY to also report on the OWWA side.

02:26:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002421

And, Mr. Chair, with your permission of Madam Chair.

02:26:34Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002422

Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and to our former chair of the committee,

02:26:40Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002423

maraming salamat po sa supporta po ninyo over the years sa amin po ng DMW at OWA,

02:26:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002424

at lalong-lalong na po sa ating mga OFWs, hindi ho namin makakalimutan yan.

02:26:52Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002425

To your question, sir, actually po, of course, as you know,

02:26:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002426

OWA has the Balik Pinas Balik Hanap Buhay program,

02:26:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002427

and the Tulong Puso program po natin, both are sourced from the Trust Fund, Madam Chair.

02:27:07Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002428

Hindi po ito GAA program.

02:27:10Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002429

This is sourced from the contribution of our members.

02:27:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002430

Doon po sa aming monitoring, Madam Chair,

02:27:19Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002431

ay close to over 60% ang after 12 months,

02:27:25Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002432

ay meron pa rin po silang existing, no, na,

02:27:29Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002433

negosyo, or meron po silang pathway papunta sa employment.

02:27:34Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002434

Ang nagiging problema po, Madam Chair, or nagiging malaking obstacle,

02:27:40Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002435

is pag nakakaroon po ng expansion, yung kanilang negosyo,

02:27:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002436

or pag nakakaroon po ng need for additional technical assistance, no,

02:27:52Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002437

kaya ho napakaganda yung National Reintegration Network.

02:27:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002438

Kasi doon ho sa humihingi ng additional capital,

02:27:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002439

na ilalapit po namin sila sa Land Bank of the Philippines, sa SB Corp.,

02:28:04Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002440

Madam Chair, na may inooffer na magandang rate para sa ating mga OFWs, no.

02:28:10Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002441

Aside from that, Madam Chair, yun po naman sa training natin, no,

02:28:16Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002442

we have particular upskilling training for our seafarers,

02:28:21Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002443

at para po sa ating mga land-based workers.

02:28:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002444

Mabibigay po namin yung mga numero pong ito,

02:28:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002445

so, Madam Chair, ang sa seafarers po sa taon pa lang na ito,

02:28:33Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002446

ay umabot na po ng 13,000 ang nakapag-avail nitong seafarers upskilling program po namin.

02:28:40Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002447

At pagdating naman po sa skills for employment, no, na scholarship program po,

02:28:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002448

ay halos 3,000 na po ang nakapag-avail nito.

02:28:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002449

Ngayon naman po, meron po tayong nilunsad na partnership po ng DMW, CHED,

02:28:55Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002450

at sa atin po sa OWWA,

02:28:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002451

na scholarship po under the ETIAP program, Madam Chair.

02:29:02Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002452

Ibig sabihin po, hindi lamang po dependents or anak ng OFW ang tinutulungan ngayon natin

02:29:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002453

na magkaroon ng scholarship para magkatapos ng kolehyo,

02:29:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002454

pati po yung mga OFWs mismo, kahit po abroad pa sila,

02:29:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002455

ay may chance na po silang makatapos ng tertiary education

02:29:23Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002456

at masuportahan rin po natin through scholarship.

02:29:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002457

through the Alagang OWWA Step-Up Program din po, Madam Chair.

02:29:31Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002458

Madam Chair, while we find these interventions commendable, no,

02:29:34Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002459

if I were to suggest to the DMW,

02:29:37Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002460

baka pwedeng as we implement the reintegration policy,

02:29:42Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002461

baka pwedeng ma-anticipate na natin maging proactive yung proposal sana na

02:29:47Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002462

the reintegration pathways are offered before they even

02:29:51Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002463

come to the Philippines.

02:29:52Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002464

Kasi alam ho namin, limitado yung budget na na-assign natin for integration.

02:29:58Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002465

However, if you were more proactive at alam na natin,

02:30:01Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002466

kumbaga meron tayong anticipated number of OFWs na gustong magtrabaho,

02:30:07Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002467

gustong magnegosyo, gustong mag-aral ulit,

02:30:10Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002468

these resources could even be approximated even before the actual return na sa Pilipinas.

02:30:18Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002469

Alam naman ho natin, mga dalawang taon ng kontrata,

02:30:22Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002470

kung wala nang planong mag-renew in the last five months,

02:30:24Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002471

siguro that data should already be relayed so that we really have a more effective.

02:30:31Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002472

Kasi minsan, kung nagbibilang lang tayo ng beneficiaries,

02:30:34Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002473

like yung sinabi kanina ni Asek Kiko,

02:30:39Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002474

yung amount mismo hindi tayo sigurado kung talagang ganun ka-impactful yun

02:30:43Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002475

sa nakasanayang living standard ng ating mga OFWs.

02:30:49Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002476

I really find it unfair na,

02:30:51Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002477

considering their economic contributions,

02:30:54Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002478

if they will have to settle for what only we can afford,

02:30:56Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002479

siguro if we had a more proactive way of determining,

02:31:01Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002480

especially if the full reintegration policy implemented and anticipate the numbers,

02:31:07Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002481

that would be really helpful, even for Congress,

02:31:09Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002482

for assigning the sufficient funds needed to run the policy.

02:31:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002483

Madam Chair, yes, precisely.

02:31:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002484

Maraming salamat po sa tanong, Madam Chair, Mr. Congress.

02:31:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002485

Yan po mismo ang direktiba din ng ating Pangulo

02:31:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002486

nung pinag-bookload kami sa National Reintegration Network.

02:31:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002487

At kung naalala niyo po, sa San Juan City,

02:31:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002488

the President nagpasinaya ng paglunsad ng DICT ng eGov app

02:31:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002489

kung saan nandun po kami lahat ng National Reintegration Network Agencies.

02:31:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002490

At ang direksyon po na ito ay papunta sa isang virtual one-stop shop for reintegration.

02:31:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002491

This will be the foremost tool, Madam Chair, Mr. Congressman,

02:31:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002492

for the workers to know the pathways.

02:31:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002493

Kung may virtual one-stop shop,

02:32:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002494

halimbawa kung ako po'y one weekend ako po sa Saudi Arabia

02:32:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002495

at in my spare time, habang nasa coffee shop ako,

02:32:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002496

I surf and go through EGOV or a virtual one-stop shop,

02:32:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002497

doon ko malalaman yung pathways antimano habang nandun pa ako sa Saudi

02:32:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002498

at nagbabalak pa lamang umuwi,

02:32:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002499

o kaya bagong magka-krisis at napilitang umuwi.

02:32:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002500

So, yes, we are fully on the same page with this, Mr. Chair.

02:32:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002501

But I will offer another snapshot kasi yung pinakita namin ni Admin PY

02:32:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002502

ay DMW-OWWA programs pa lamang po.

02:32:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002503

One example that will highlight the concerns of the good congressman

02:32:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002504

at paano ito na-address is

02:32:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002505

when we had, coincidentally, sa Tacloban po ito,

02:32:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002506

yung dinaluhan ng Pangulo nating job fair, livelihood fair,

02:32:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002507

one of the seafarers or OFWs na in-approach ni Pangulo

02:33:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002508

na nabiyayaan ng tulong kapital

02:33:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002509

was a seafarer in the Red Sea na bumaba na ng barko kasi inatake yung barko niya.

02:33:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002510

So, nag-for good na siya.

02:33:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002511

And siya ay beneficiaryo ng SB Corp, Small Business Corporation ng DTI,

02:33:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002512

P300,000 interest-free loan, not payable for one year.

02:33:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002513

For the first year.

02:33:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002514

Meaning, sa second year lang siya magsisimulang magbayad at interest-free pa.

02:33:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002515

So, P300,000.

02:33:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002516

So, this will respond to yung binabangkit niyo, Chair, na it has to be more suitable.

02:33:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002517

And the solution to my mind is the other government programs, DTI, DOT, and DA.

02:33:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002518

Kaya mahalaga yung binabanggit din po ni Admin PY na pinag-buklod kaming lahat ni Presidente

02:33:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002519

and the one-stop shop.

02:33:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002520

Will be crucial, virtual or physical.

02:33:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002521

Kaya tayo may mga fares.

02:33:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002522

Dahil dun po, matutupad yung sinasabi ninyo, Mr. Congressman, na kitang-kita ng tao

02:34:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002523

kung nasaan ang pathways niya to reintegration bago pa man siya umuwi.

02:34:12Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002524

Madam Chair, actually po, maraming salamat po sa pagsabi po niyan.

02:34:19Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002525

Isa po yan sa instruction ng aming mahal na sekretary.

02:34:23Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002526

Kaya nga po, nung...

02:34:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002527

During the crisis, yung mass repatriation na ginawa po natin,

02:34:30Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002528

nag-collect po ng reintegration data yung ating DMW-OWWA team.

02:34:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002529

If I may share, Madam Chair,

02:34:39Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002530

out of yung mga OFWs po na na-interview namin,

02:34:42Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002531

may mga tanong po, even their health situation,

02:34:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002532

kung may maintenance drugs po silang tinitake,

02:34:48Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002533

so that we can refer to PhilHealth Yakap and Gamot Program.

02:34:52Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002534

Tinanong po namin kung anong pathway,

02:34:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002535

yung kanila pong gusto,

02:34:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002536

59.7% said entrepreneurship livelihood pathway.

02:35:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002537

29.2% said overseas employment.

02:35:06Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002538

26.1% said local wage employment.

02:35:11Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002539

18.4% said skills training.

02:35:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002540

14.8 po, kailangan daw pong umutang.

02:35:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002541

Siguro mas malaki pa po ito kung sasama tayo.

02:35:21Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002542

But the point is, nagpa-pilot na rin po kami

02:35:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002543

using our current resources

02:35:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002544

because we have what we call

02:35:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002545

an e-cares welfare case management system.

02:35:32Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002546

We're using the same platform,

02:35:34Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002547

revising it a little bit

02:35:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002548

to make it a reintegration profiling

02:35:39Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002549

of the members of OWWA, Madam Chair,

02:35:42Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002550

which is now around 2.7 million active members of OWWA.

02:35:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002551

Ang nakakabahala lang po, Madam Chair,

02:35:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002552

in relation to the budget

02:35:51Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002553

and the efforts of both DMW and OWWA

02:35:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002554

and OWWA,

02:35:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002555

highlighting po the agency that I am representing,

02:35:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002556

we were given zero sa NEP

02:36:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002557

when it comes to

02:36:02Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002558

ISSP-related capital outlay equipment

02:36:07Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002559

which would derail our digitalization efforts po.

02:36:11Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002560

We would need,

02:36:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002561

alam nyo po yan,

02:36:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002562

yung ganyang klaseng data, Madam Chair,

02:36:17Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002563

kung kailangan po niyan ng mga server,

02:36:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002564

kailangan po niyan ng mga subscriptions,

02:36:25Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002565

to very important data analysis software

02:36:29Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002566

for us to be able, as you said,

02:36:31Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002567

prepare for their eventual return.

02:36:35Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002568

Kasi mahirap po,

02:36:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002569

natanongin na namin sila pag nandito na sila.

02:36:39Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002570

And we will follow po yung recommendation po

02:36:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002571

ninyo,

02:36:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002572

at ipipresenta rin po namin

02:36:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002573

yung kung ano na hong na pilot namin,

02:36:48Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002574

but in any pilot,

02:36:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002575

for us to have a total rollout

02:36:52Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002576

at masuportahan po ito,

02:36:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002577

kailangan din po namin

02:36:55Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002578

ng resources to be able to do that.

02:36:57Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002579

Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

02:37:00Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002580

Madam Chair,

02:37:02Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002581

next question ko po.

02:37:03Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002582

I think this is something that concerns us a lot,

02:37:06Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002583

but on the onset,

02:37:08Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002584

I'd like to thank the Secretary for responding

02:37:09Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002585

quickly, promptly to our concern regarding

02:37:12Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002586

the Filipinos have been trapped in Cambodia

02:37:18Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002587

or those who are now facing legal charges

02:37:22Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002588

because of being employed in,

02:37:25Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002589

in scam hubs.

02:37:26Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002590

Meron ho kami,

02:37:27Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002591

actually ngayon sa office ko,

02:37:29Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002592

23,

02:37:31Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002593

families of 23 OFWs

02:37:33Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002594

that are now imprisoned in Cambodia.

02:37:36Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002595

And I think this is but a small part of an even larger section,

02:37:40Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002596

number of Filipinos

02:37:41Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002597

who are in the same situation.

02:37:44Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002598

Ang tanong ko lang ho kung

02:37:45Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002599

meron po bang pangkalahatang plan of action

02:37:48Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002600

ang DMW,

02:37:50Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002601

lalong-lalo na kasi

02:37:52Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002602

ito po yung naka-involve po dito

02:37:54Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002603

ang,

02:37:54Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002604

human trafficking

02:37:56Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002605

at hindi naman no ang regular nating mga

02:37:58Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002606

employment

02:37:59Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002607

processes,

02:38:02Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002608

overseas employment processes.

02:38:03Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002609

Bagamat,

02:38:04Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002610

we're still bound no,

02:38:06Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002611

because there are still Filipinos

02:38:07Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002612

working abroad no.

02:38:09Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002613

So,

02:38:10Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002614

is there anything,

02:38:11Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002615

is there an overarching

02:38:12Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002616

policy that

02:38:14Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002617

DMW has in mind

02:38:16Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002618

para kung mangyari man ulit,

02:38:18Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002619

meron na ho kaming

02:38:19Source

Rep. Jude A. Acidre

asr-002620

direct na pagtugon?

02:38:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002622

Yes, Madam Chair,

02:38:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002623

Mr. Congressman,

02:38:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002624

yes po, meron po.

02:38:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002625

Ang interventions natin

02:38:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002626

are almost similar to our interventions

02:38:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002627

in the Middle East.

02:38:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002628

First and foremost,

02:38:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002629

welfare and repatriation.

02:38:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002630

Higit kumulang between Myanmar

02:38:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002631

and Cambodia

02:38:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002632

in the last three years,

02:38:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002633

mga tatlong libo na po

02:38:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002634

ang, sa tulong ng partnership with the DFA,

02:38:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002635

ang natulungan natin

02:38:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002636

na naka-uwi.

02:38:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002637

Sila ay victims of human trafficking,

02:38:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002638

hindi ho dumaan sa DMW,

02:38:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002639

unfortunately.

02:38:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002640

Kaya patuloy po

02:38:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002641

ang information campaign natin

02:38:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002642

sa mga kababayan natin.

02:39:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002643

So,

02:39:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002644

welfare interventions,

02:39:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002645

dahil sila po ay nagagaling sa mga,

02:39:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002646

hindi po sila galing sa syudad

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002920

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

rin ng trafficking.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002928

Ano po yung mga efforts na may kinalaman dito?

02:44:58Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002929

At saan natin kinukuha yung pondo para mapalakas ang programang ito?

02:45:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002930

Madam Chair, Madam Congresswoman, yes.

02:45:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002931

Karugtong po ng pasasalamat namin sa DFA,

02:45:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002932

kay Sec. Tes. Lazaro at sa mga ambassadors natin

02:45:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002933

ay pasasalamat din sa host countries.

02:45:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002934

Kasi ganoon na lamang din sa Cambodia, Thailand or Myanmar

02:45:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002935

ang tulong nila sa ating mga kababayan.

02:45:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002936

By way of example, galing lang po ako sa Phnom Penh almost two months ago

02:45:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002937

at nagbukas nga ako kami ng Migrant Workers Office doon

02:45:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002938

at nakamitting ko po ang Labor Minister ng Cambodia.

02:45:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002939

At ang layunin po natin doon ay una,

02:45:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002940

magpasalamat sa

02:45:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002941

tulong sa mga workers natin sa Cambodia

02:45:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002942

but also yung layunin natin magkaroon ng labor cooperation agreement

02:45:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002943

with Cambodia.

02:45:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002944

So this is an example of the kind of effort that we are undertaking.

02:46:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002945

Meron din po tayong current effort toward the November Summit ng ASEAN

02:46:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002946

in relation to fair and ethical recruitment

02:46:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002947

amongst the ASEAN leaders, a statement along these lines.

02:46:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002948

Pero hindi ko po muna i-disclose ang full details.

02:46:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002949

Because I will be preempting the President's own announcement along these lines.

02:46:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002950

Dahil sa November Summit po napipinto itong klaseng effort across ASEAN.

02:46:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002951

So meron din pong effort across ASEAN.

02:46:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002952

So the short answer, Madam Chair or Madam Congresswoman,

02:46:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002953

is along bilateral and regional lines, meron po tayong effort sa larangan na ito.

02:46:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002954

At pasalamat po kami sa mga relevant ASEAN states, AMS, member states.

02:46:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002955

Sa kanilang pagbigay ng protection sa ating kababayan.

02:46:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002956

Maraming salamat, Madam Chair.

02:46:54Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002957

Totoo po, kailangan talaga ng mas pinalakas na cross-border effort pagdating dito.

02:46:58Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002958

Lalong-lalo na ang action din mismo ng Kongreso.

02:47:02Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002959

Kasi meron naman tayong mga parliamentary diplomatic channels

02:47:06Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002960

na pwede rin po natin makausap yung mga counterparts natin

02:47:09Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002961

sa iba't-ibang mga Kongreso at Parlamento para matugunan agad ang issue na ito.

02:47:14Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002962

At kasaman po ang boses ng mga kababaihan.

02:47:17Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002963

Para itulak ang pagdadagdag ng pondo para dun sa nakaranas ng malalaking kaltas.

02:47:24Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002964

Dahil Madam Chair, hindi po makatarungan na sa panahon pa ng patong-patong na krisis

02:47:30Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002965

ay mababawasan pa ang pondo ng ating mga frontliners na tumutulong sa ating mga distressed OFWs

02:47:37Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002966

at mga nangangailangan na Pilipino sa ibang bansa.

02:47:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002967

Ngayon, Madam Chair, nabanggit niyo kanina na kailangan niyo sana ng dagdag na suporta

02:47:47Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002968

para sa mga retainers sa medical field, para sa AKSYON Fund.

02:47:52Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002969

Ngayon po ba meron na kayong mga existing na mga personnel para rito?

02:47:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002970

Sa ngayon po, meron tayong medical assistance provided by retainers in selected posts.

02:48:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002971

Admittedly, hindi pa ho ganap.

02:48:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002972

What we have are partnerships with medical institutions like hospitals in the host countries.

02:48:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002973

However, yung formal partnership, the way we have a legal retainership with law firms,

02:48:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002974

ito yung binabanggit ni Admin PY kanina, yun yung kailangan.

02:48:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002975

But right now, the standout post here would be Dubai.

02:48:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002976

Our Dubai post with around 700,000 Filipino workers would have a partnership with a particular clinic.

02:48:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002977

medical institution that provides such medical services.

02:48:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002978

Pero yun nga po, admittedly, kaya tamang-tama yung binabanggit ni Admin PY kanina,

02:48:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002979

na kailangan pang palaganapin itong medical retainership similar to our legal retainership agreements

02:49:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-002980

para hayag at sigurado ang matatakbuhan ng ating mga OFWs.

02:49:14Source

asr-002981

Madam Chair?

02:49:16Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002982

With the permission of the Secretary,

02:49:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002983

equally important, if not more important, is the health, medical retainership.

02:49:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002984

Itinutulak po natin din, Madam Chair, napaka-importante po dahil nakikita din namin

02:49:32Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002985

ang tumataas din pong mga kaso nang meron pong mental health conditions among our dear OFWs.

02:49:44Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002986

Ang base po sa feedback,

02:49:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002987

ng ating mga welfare officers abroad ay importante at kailangan sa ibang post po,

02:49:53Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002988

dahil nga alam namin po limitado,

02:49:55Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002989

ang retainership din po ng mga psychologists or psychiatrists.

02:50:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002990

Lalong-lalo na po, sa araw-araw po natin pag-uusap sa ating mga distress workers,

02:50:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002991

marami po sa kanila ang kailangan, hindi lamang po ng consultation, pati po yung medication.

02:50:15Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002992

Madam Chair, meron na pong efforts ang DMW at OWA patungkol sa, for example,

02:50:23Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002993

as said by our Secretary, partnerships. Meron din po tayong telemedicine efforts.

02:50:29Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002994

Pero sa pananaw po natin, wala pa rin tatalo sa person-to-person po, di ba po, na konsultasyon

02:50:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002995

para po sa mga professionals na licensed po sa iba't-ibang mga bansa.

02:50:42Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002996

Para po ma-take advantage po natin.

02:50:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-002997

ng full

02:50:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

array of services, medical services para sa ating pong mga kababayan.

02:50:51Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002999

Madam Chair, magkano po yung proposed funding para sa serbisyong ito ng DMW ng OWA?

02:50:58Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003000

Nais po natin malaman kasi syempre, ang laking tulong po ng mga partnerships natin sa mga CSOs, NGOs,

02:51:06Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003001

iba pang private partners, pero nangangailangan pa rin pala, nangangailangan pa din ng dagdag na pondo

02:51:13Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003002

mula sa ating public resources.

02:51:17Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003003

Lalong-lalo na, Madam Chair, ang nangangailangan ng mga stress debriefing efforts and services.

02:51:25Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003004

Hindi lang naman po yung ating mga distressed OFWs, maski po mismo yung mga manggagawa natin sa DMW, sa OWA,

02:51:33Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003005

lahat po ng mga frontliners na tumutulong, maski po sila, nangangailangan din ng mga critical incident stress debriefing.

02:51:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003006

Dahil hindi po biro ang hinaharap po nila na pagpoproseso ng iba't ibang...

02:51:46Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003009

kaso, marami po dito matinding abuso na nararanasan ng ating mga OFWs.

02:51:52Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003010

Kasi yan po ang nakita natin, no, na habang tumutulong po tayo sa iba, nakakaligtaan po natin yung tulong din po para doon sa mga frontliners natin na humaharap sa ganitong tipo ng mga situations.

02:52:06Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003011

Maraming salamat po, Madam Chair.

Of course, Madam Chair, we will work within the budget that will be given to us.

02:53:00Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

Humihingi po kami on the part of OWA ng additional po na nasa 130 million.

02:53:06Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003026

Ito po ay susuporta sa medical and health retainer.

02:53:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003027

And kasama na po, Madam Chair, ang additional legal retainer.

02:53:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

Nakalagay po yan sa charter.

Especially po.

02:54:11Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003043

And you have my commitment as the administrator na lagi po nating itataas ang antas ng serbisyo

asr-003045

Kasi minsan po talaga.

02:54:40Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003046

Pag-crisis na, talagang very highly emotional po ang ating mga kababayan.

02:54:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003047

So, patuloy po ang, tuloy-tuloy po ang training, retraining.

02:54:52Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003048

At saka, Madam Chair, on your point earlier, importante rin po sa amin yung care for the frontliners.

02:55:00Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003049

Kasi ho, pag sobrang puyatin po or kaya po 24-7 na nagsiservisyo, lalo na pag may crisis,

02:55:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003050

importante rin po yan.

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

Para sa ating mga kababayan.

02:57:11Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003068

Ngayon, Madam Chair, gusto ko naman pong magtanong tungkol sa collection ng verification fee para sa mga contracts at labor-related documents.

02:57:20Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003069

Saan po ba napupunta yung mga kinukolekta nating verification fees? At magkano ang nakolekta?

02:57:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003070

Yes, with your permission, I will ask Usec. Niki to respond.

02:57:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003071

But let me respond first to the matter on gender sensitivity training.

02:57:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003072

Rest assured, Madam Congresswoman, Madam Chair,

02:57:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003073

wala po tayong personel na umaalis na hindi nakakadaan sa gender sensitivity, gender responsiveness training.

02:57:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003074

Napakahalaga po sa amin yan.

02:57:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003075

As we always like to say, a substantial number, more than a vast majority of our workers assisted are female workers.

02:58:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003076

And not just female workers, but those who also belong in the LGBTQ plus sector.

02:58:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003077

Kaya dito rin po ang napakahalaga ng gender responsiveness on our part.

02:58:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003078

And we do not tolerate any form of mishandling of any case along these lines, sa gender insensitivity ng ating personnel.

02:58:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003079

At kaduktong din po dito yung aspeto ng medical retainership at yung binabanggit ni Admin PY na mental health issues.

02:58:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003080

Kasi, when we are in the hands of expert

02:58:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003081

medical care, such as a medical retainer,

02:58:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003082

then we are assured na ang handling ng kaso, let's say physical or emotional abuse,

02:58:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003083

ng isang female worker or LGBTQ plus worker is well handled or managed kapag medical expert ang nagahandle.

02:58:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003084

Kaya mahalaga po yung binabanggit na medical retainership because we want the medical expertise of a person,

02:59:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003085

of a health worker, to take care of these types of cases.

02:59:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003086

Now, dun po sa verification fee, yes, it is under the DMW.

02:59:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003087

For every contract verified, there is a US$10 fee.

02:59:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003088

This is under the auspices of the DMW.

02:59:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003089

It is a collected fee that partially reverts back to our operations.

02:59:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003090

And I will ask Usec. Niki

02:59:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003091

to discuss this matter.

02:59:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003092

So, with the permission of the Chair,

02:59:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003093

Usec. Niki can take up the matter on the verification fees.

02:59:46Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003094

Thank you, Madam Chair, and with the permission of the Secretary po.

02:59:50Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003095

Ang current po natin ngayon for verification fee from fiscal year 2023 to 2026 present, meaning January to July po, it's around 5,851,298,096.

03:00:12Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003096

And these are deposited in the Bureau of Treasury po. And from that amount po, meron po tayong in-earmarked under our GAA.

03:00:24Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003097

So for 2024 po, we earmarked around 163 million. And then in 2025, that's 580 million. And for 2026, another 580 million.

03:00:41Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003098

But under the 2027 NEP po, around 700 million po, 777 to be exact ang in-earmarked po under the 2027 NEP.

03:00:54Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Madam Chair, meron pang more than 2 billion pesos na nasa Treasury na hindi pa po earmarked for particular purposes.

03:01:03Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003100

Ngayon Madam Chair, kasi meron din po tayong mga reports ng increases sa verification fees.

03:01:09Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003101

Ano po yung mga factors kung bakit kailangan

03:01:11Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003102

pong magtaas nitong mga verification fees?

03:01:16Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003103

From what we've known, Your Honor, we have not increased the verification fee. It's pegged at 10 US dollars as mentioned by the Secretary.

03:01:28Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003104

Alright. Kung maaari niyo pong magbibigay po ako sa inyo ng ulat tungkol po sa mga nakuha namin na reports ng increase.

03:01:35Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003105

Halimbawa po sa Hong Kong, sa Singapore, meron pong reports ng increases.

03:01:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003106

Pwede pong ma-review na lang po ito ng DMW.

03:01:44Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003107

Ngayon, atungkol naman Madam Chair sa cut sa budget ng Maritime Research and Skills Competency Program na nakapasok ang Maritime Training and Maritime Assessment Service,

03:01:56Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003108

paano po maapekto ka ng budget cut na ito ang existing services natin para sa international seafarers?

03:02:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003109

We have the Executive Director of the National Maritime Polytechnic here, but let me start it off as well.

03:02:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003110

We have made significant strides sa 19th and 20th Congresses sa budget ng NMP. So we're very thankful.

03:02:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003111

Dahil dito, nagkaroon ng early phase 1 ng infrastructure improvements for the first time in 50 years.

03:02:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003112

Started during Marcos Sr.'s administration and finally resumed under Marcos Jr.'s administration na improve ang facilities sa National Maritime Polytechnic.

03:02:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003113

For the first time, meron mga certain training programs that have been rendered free to our seafarers.

03:02:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003114

Hindi lang discounted or subsidized, completely free na certain programs and our Executive Director will provide the details on this.

03:02:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003115

So without further ado, Madam Chair, Madam Congresswoman, may request ED Victor Rosario to explain yung budget adjustments effect ng NEP sa NMP.

03:03:10Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003116

Thank you.

Madam Chair, Your Honors, with the permission of the Good Secretary, first of all, we would like to express our profound gratitude to Congress because it is only in this year that we received the highest budgetary allocation for the National Maritime Polytechnic since our inception in 1978.

03:03:32Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

We have received 406 million for this year and 271 million of which will...

03:03:41Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003119

Fund the implementation of our modernization plan at NMP Tacloban, basically to improve our infrastructure for our training facilities.

03:03:52Source

This October, we will be groundbreaking our 200 million dormitory with the President and the Secretary.

03:03:59Source

We will also be constructing a new training pool of 32 million, another new firefighting area and many other infrastructure program.

03:04:09Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003122

To implement our...

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003123

modernization plan.

03:04:12Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003124

And to answer the question of the Good Congresswoman Elago as to the decrease of the budget of NMP, primarily it's because of the reduced capital outlay.

03:04:24Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003125

Kasi napagbigyan na po tayo ng DBM ng 271 million for this year.

03:04:28Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003126

Now for next year, binigyan po tayo ng 53 million, 50 million of which will go to the construction of another training building.

03:04:38Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003127

Sapagkat kailangan po talaga natin, Congresswoman, yung...

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003128

Mga bagong...

03:04:42Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003129

Nang karagdagang training classroom sapagkat, as we speak, mayroon po tayong 40-year-old main training building sa NMP na ginawa pa ng mga Japanese, ng JICA.

03:04:57Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003130

At currently, we have 26 rooms.

03:05:00Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003131

Nine rooms are used for simulator and our laboratory rooms where we store and house our simulator.

03:05:09Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003132

Sixteen lang po yung...

03:05:11Source

asr-003133

nagagamit natin for instruction.

03:05:13Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003134

And with the approval of the Good Secretary for our free training program, we expect more enrollment next year.

03:05:21Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003135

That is why kailangan po talaga natin ng mga karagdagang classrooms.

03:05:25Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003136

Pero yung napagbigyan po sa DBM is only 50 million of the 125 million that we proposed that will enable us sana to construct additional 15 classrooms.

03:05:40Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

Let me take this opportunity.

03:05:43Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003140

Isa lang po yung wish list ng NMP na sana ma-restore yung 76 million na kakulangan para makonstruct natin yung bagong training building.

03:05:53Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003141

03:06:23Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003148

It's a long story bakit yung NMP ay nasa Tacloban, but to cut it short, it's because of the former First Lady Imelda Romaldes Marcos.

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003149

That is why it's situated at the foot of San Juanico.

Yes, unfortunately, wala pa po tayong kaukulang update.

It's a function of kung saan po nangyari yung attack.

03:09:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

It's in the Strait of Hormuz, kaya admittedly may kahirapan po sa pag-salvage nung tugboat kung saan siya naroon.

03:09:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

salvaging ng tugboat kapag ligtas na ang sitwasyon sa Strait of Hormuz.

03:10:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003183

Kasi po, meron na pong discussion with the ship owner in Dubai.

03:10:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003184

Kaya meron na po tayong abogadong

03:10:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003185

naatasan with the acceptance of Mrs. Miranda, kung saan yung lawyer po natin na nakikipag-usap ngayon sa ship owner doon.

03:10:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003186

Kaya ongoing po ito, Madam Congresswoman, and rest assured, I personally have been in contact with Mrs. Miranda.

03:10:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003187

Naka-WhatsApp exchange ko lang po siya nung nakaraang araw.

03:10:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003188

At hindi po natin ito bibitawan until magkaroon ng conclusion itong legal claims ng pamilya sa shipowner.

03:10:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003189

Pero aaminin ko po, sa ngayon po ay hindi po talaga na-recover yung human remains ni Oiler Miranda.

03:10:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003190

Kaya patuloy pa rin tayong nag-umaasa na darating ang panahon na masasalvage kahit pa pano yung tugboat na kinalalagyan niya doon sa Strait of Hormuz.

03:11:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003191

Yes, there is a document po here and I think we can provide...

03:11:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003192

you a copy of a note verbal along these lines, but for the sanctity of the grief that Mrs. Miranda is going through,

03:11:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003193

we will just furnish you a copy of this document from the Omani government, Madam Congresswoman.

03:11:43Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003194

Maraming salamat, Madam Chair.

03:11:45Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003195

At hindi po tayo nawawala ng pag-asa.

03:11:50Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003196

Pagdating po sa mga kaso ng nawawala na seafarer,

03:11:55Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003197

pati na rin po sa kaso ng iba pa nating OFWs in distress,

03:12:00Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003198

nagpapaabot din po tayo ng pakikiramay doon sa recent lang po na napabalita na meron din po si seafarer na isang deceased.

03:12:09Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003199

Habang meron po tayong mga na-rescue, meron din po isang namatay dahil nga sa kalagayan sa Strait of Hormuz.

03:12:18Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003200

Kaya po, sa tingin ko, Madam Chair, habang tayo po ay nanghihingi dito ng status update,

03:12:25Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003201

Mga kinakailangan na information para mapalakas yung mga programa natin para sa OFW at seafarer's protection.

03:12:34Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003202

Kinakailangan din po talaga yung pondo para sa reintegration program.

03:12:40Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003203

Kasi sa huli't huli, yung kailangan naman natin talaga regular at disenteng trabaho dito sa Pilipinas para sa ating mga kababayan.

03:12:50Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003204

Nakabubuhay na sahod.

03:12:51Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003205

Kaya malaki ang role ng reintegration program dyan.

03:12:56Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003206

Dahil po naubusan ako ng oras, ah, hingin na lang po natin yung report mula sa DMW.

03:13:03Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003207

Bukod dun sa mga proposed nila na mga programs na hindi po nakasama sa NEP para sa reintegration program at para sa action fund,

03:13:13Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003208

hingin din po natin yung mga kasulukuyan nilang pakikipagtulungan sa DOLE, sa DTI,

03:13:18Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003209

para ho matiyak na meron talagang trabaho dito sa Pilipinas, may tulong para sa pangkabuhayan yung ating mga kababayan.

03:13:26Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003210

At panghuli, yung mga kababayan naman po natin naghihintay pa po ng sagot ng pagdating sa request nila sa action fund mula pa po January-February nitong taong 2026.

03:13:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003211

Sana po ay matugunan na ng ating DMW, ng OWWA at lahat ng mga kasama nating agencies ngayong hapon.

03:13:49Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003212

Maraming salamat Madam Chair.

Ang pondo ng DMW, ng OWWA, ng lahat po na nandirito mula sa 2027 proposed NEP.

03:14:02Source

asr-003369

You might ask, bakit hindi po

03:21:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003370

full 17 billion?

03:21:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003371

We are part of the team

03:21:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003372

by the President, the Cabinet.

03:21:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003373

And we had already

03:21:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003374

committed to comply

03:21:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003375

with the

03:21:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003376

budget

03:22:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003377

as proposed through the NEP.

03:22:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003378

We had discussed this as a collective

03:22:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003379

in the Cabinet under the leadership of the

03:22:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003380

President. And we know

03:22:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003381

the limited fiscal space.

03:22:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003382

And we will fully cooperate with the

03:22:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003383

national government, our colleagues in the

03:22:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003384

Cabinet and the Department of Budget

03:22:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003385

and Management in their effort

03:22:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003386

to craft the NEP.

03:22:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003387

And so,

03:22:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003388

in this regard, we

03:22:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003389

consider ourselves to putting

03:22:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003390

forward a reasonable

03:22:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003391

motion for reconsideration,

03:22:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003392

if you will,

03:22:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003393

Mr. Congressman.

03:22:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003394

2 billion po from the DMW side

03:22:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003395

ang hinihingi namin.

03:22:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003396

As I understand it, sa OWWA

03:22:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003397

is also corresponding 2 billion.

03:22:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003398

So, we will cooperate

03:22:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003399

with the overall

03:22:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003400

national government frame

03:22:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003401

of the National Expenditure Program.

03:22:50Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003402

Let us not cooperate

03:22:54Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003403

because they

03:22:54Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003404

slash so much from you.

03:22:56Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003405

Do not agree that

03:22:57Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003406

you are bound by the NEP.

03:23:00Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003407

Because that is why Congress is

03:23:02Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003408

present with the power of the purse.

03:23:05Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003409

Can you share with us now your request

03:23:07Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003410

for the 2 billion, the itemized

03:23:09Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003411

so that it will be

03:23:10Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003412

on record. The one that you gave

03:23:12Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003413

to the Speaker.

03:23:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003414

Madam Chair, Mr. Congressman,

03:23:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003415

so,

03:23:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003416

for the 2 billion breakdown,

03:23:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003417

we have 1 billion for the AKSYON Fund

03:23:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003418

to make it from

03:23:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003419

2B to 3B.

03:23:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003420

Kasi 3B po yung level ng

03:23:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003421

supplemental ng ating mahal na Pangulo.

03:23:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003422

So, we were thinking at least to match

03:23:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003423

the President's 3 billion benchmark.

03:23:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003424

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003494

Just an interjection, Madam

03:25:59Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003495

Chair. Have you not planned

03:26:01Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003496

to construct

03:26:03Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003497

your own building or to...

03:26:04Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003498

you know, for example

03:26:07Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003499

the NBI and

03:26:09Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003500

other agencies, they go to GSIS.

03:26:11Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003501

The GSIS will

03:26:13Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003502

buy it and then you pay GSIS

03:26:15Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003503

over a multi-year contract

03:26:16Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003504

of five years. Like

03:26:19Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003505

we have those offices

03:26:20Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003506

because you know, kay

03:26:23Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003507

Blas Ople pa yung building natin eh.

03:26:25Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003508

So matanda na talaga yan. So we

03:26:27Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003509

have a good one because anyway,

03:26:29Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003510

you can sell that one

03:26:31Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003511

because it's very centrally located.

03:26:33Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003512

And so, have you not

03:26:35Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003513

thought about having that?

03:26:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003513-split-1

The good news,

03:26:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003516

our main office in Agham

03:26:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003517

Road. DMW

03:26:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003518

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003519

ng Occupational Safety Health Center

03:26:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003520

ngayon. Sa amin po yun. So,

03:26:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003521

we will construct our main

03:26:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003522

DMW office in Agham

03:26:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003523

Road.

03:26:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003524

And pinayagan po tayo ng Presidente

03:26:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003525

03:27:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003526

03:27:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003529

500 million

03:27:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003530

yung construction

03:27:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003531

Phase 1 po yun.

03:27:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003532

Another 500 million to construct

03:27:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003533

the second phase for the 10 story.

03:27:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003534

But yun po ang plano.

03:27:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003535

Meron nang masisimulan na po

03:27:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003536

ni Sec. Vince

03:27:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003537

yung phase 1.

03:27:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003538

Ang plano po namin sa

03:27:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003539

existing POEA

03:27:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003540

former POEA structure is to maintain

03:27:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003541

it. Napakaganda po kasi ng location.

03:27:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003542

Sir, sayang po

03:27:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003543

kung ibigay sa private sector

03:27:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003544

Ortigas

03:27:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003545

Corner EDSA.

03:27:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003546

Ideal to our OFW sa gitna.

03:27:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003547

So, ang plano po namin sa existing structure

03:27:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003548

pag lumipat na po kami sa Agham

03:27:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003549

gawin siyang

03:27:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003550

biggest regional NCR office

03:27:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003551

of any department.

03:27:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003552

So, gagawin po nating

03:28:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003553

NCR yung buong building na yun

03:28:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003554

for the NCR

03:28:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003555

OFWs who are the biggest anyway

03:28:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003556

in terms of number.

03:28:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003557

Yun po ang plano namin. Kaya we wish to maintain

03:28:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003558

that spot.

03:28:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003559

Very ideal po at

03:28:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003560

sayang kung sa private sector mapunta

03:28:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003561

with due respect to the private sector.

03:28:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003562

Ideal talaga sa OFWs

03:28:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003563

yung lugar na yun.

03:28:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003564

Meron pa pong additional request

03:28:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003595

2 billion. It's very small.

03:29:26Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003596

It's a very small amount considering

03:29:28Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003602

03:29:40Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003603

03:29:42Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003604

Madam Chair and of course

03:29:44Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003605

Congressman Rodriguez,

03:29:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003606

maraming salamat po sa

03:29:48Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003607

opportunity.

03:29:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003608

to explain and advocate for additional 2 billion budget po ng OWWA.

03:29:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003609

Number one po is the MOOE gas po.

03:29:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003610

Ito po ay para itama ang sweldo ng mga JO sa OWWA po.

03:30:05Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003611

Numero uno po sila, over 60% po ng personnel ng OWWA ay job order po sa ngayon.

03:30:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003612

Madam Chair, dear Congressman, at kailangan po itama ang sweldo

03:30:17Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003613

dahil nagbibigay po sila ng serbisyo sa ating OFWs.

03:30:21Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003614

Kasama na rin po dito ang pagbili ng mga vehicles.

03:30:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003615

Madam Chair, importante po, matik na po sa OWWA yung repatriation

03:30:32Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003616

at kung wala pong mga vehicles, yung ating mga post abroad,

03:30:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003617

luma na po ang mga mileage po, mga 200 plus thousand na humiliahin

03:30:44Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003618

ng mga iba nating mga sasakyan.

03:30:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003619

Mas mura na pong bumili kesa i-maintain yung ganito pong klaseng sasakyan.

03:30:53Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003620

Pangalawa po is when it comes to MOOE, so this is 322.006 million.

03:31:00Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003621

Number two is the MOOE operations at 1.180 billion.

Sa ngayon po, nasa NCR pa lang po tayo when it comes to the Seafarer Welfare Center

03:31:41Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003637

para po makahanap sila ng magandang oportunidad.

03:32:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003638

Ang Alagang OWWA po ay nasa 475 million.

03:32:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003639

At maaasahan kung maibibigay ho sa OWWA.

asr-003658

Pwedeng-pwede na po dahil ongoing po ito.

We will request the Speaker to finance those present today

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

Nagbibigay po tayo ng training.

03:34:06Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003672

Kahit na ho assessment, doon na rin ho ginagawa.

03:34:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003673

Para po sa ating mga kababayan,

03:34:11Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003674

para pagbalik nila, upskilled na sila.

03:34:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003675

Hindi nasisimulan pa lang sa ating, dito sa ating bansa.

03:34:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003676

At hindi lamang po yun.

03:34:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003677

Meron din po tayo doong mga medical mission,

03:34:23Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

03:34:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003680

Meron din po tayong, of course, legal assistance.

03:34:30Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003681

At yung iba't-iba po nating mga community events para sa Philcom.

03:34:34Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003682

Dito na po sa center natin, sa Hong Kong,

03:34:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003683

ginagawa similar to Taipei at saka sa Kuala Lumpur,

03:34:41Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003684

na sana ho, mabisita po ninyo.

03:34:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003685

Pangatlo po ay ang Workers' Auxiliary Support Project.

03:34:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003686

Madam Chair, dito po papasok ang medical retainers na gustong idagdag ng OWWA.

03:34:55Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003687

Para po sa mga kababayan natin na yung iba ho,

03:34:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003688

hindi na covered ng insurance,

03:35:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003689

ay kailangan po ng medical assistance, no.

03:35:04Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003690

Katuwang ang Department of Migrant Workers.

03:35:07Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003691

So, maasahan niyo, aside from legal assistance,

03:35:11Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003692

makapag-provide na rin po tayo ng medical retainers, no.

03:35:16Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003693

Pangatlo po, katulad po ng DMW, Capital Outlay po.

03:35:21Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003694

Lumang-luma na ho ang building ng OWWA.

03:35:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003695

Madam Chair, meron na po kami mga built-in waterfalls dahil sa bagyo.

03:35:31Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003696

Actually po, to be serious about it,

03:35:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003697

we had two assessments made by the Department of Public Works and Highways, DPWH.

03:35:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003698

The assessment po came back.

03:35:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003699

And we will present to the committee.

03:35:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003700

So, apparently, we are only at

03:35:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003701

10% of the minimum standard for the structural integrity to face seismic risk.

03:36:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003702

So, it's more of the safety na po ng ating mga frontliners,

03:36:07Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003703

especially po yung ating mga OFW clients.

03:36:10Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003704

So, we are seeking as well support, Madam Chair.

03:36:14Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003705

Is this for the construction, 50, or renovation?

03:36:17Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003706

This is for renovation.

03:36:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003707

And of course, construction also of

03:36:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003708

Regional offices, particularly Region 5 po, nabigyan po tayo ng lupa para dito.

03:36:31Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003709

And then, of course, the extension for the training center and yung iba pa po nating facilities for Region 2.

03:36:42Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003710

The Seafarer Welfare Center, sir.

03:36:44Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003711

And the new office, sabi po ni Eugene.

03:36:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003712

Number 4 po, Madam Chair, dear Congressman,

03:36:55Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003713

I invite you to reminisce a little bit.

03:36:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003714

RA 8042-1995, the Congress created a program called the Congressional Migrant Worker Scholarship Program.

03:37:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003715

But at that time, it was funded by PCSO, 150 million and 50 million from the CDF back then.

03:37:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003716

But from that time until now, wala na pong naging restoration of this budget.

03:37:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003717

This is supporting po, not just dependents, but also OFWs themselves.

03:37:32Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003718

Up to 60,000 po a year ang binibigay for 4 years.

03:37:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003719

Malaki pong tulong ito.

03:37:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003720

Ito po ay compared to the regular scholarship program of OWWA, which is sourced from the trust fund, the private trust fund of OWWA.

03:37:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003721

Ito po ay GAA-sourced.

03:37:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003722

Dito po ay pwede nating i-open up at maging mas accessible.

03:37:55Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003723

Ang scholarship para po sa ating pong mga kababayan, marami po talaga ang humihingi ng tulong, Madam Chair,

03:38:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003724

sa pagpapaaral ng kanilang mga anak at syempre sa sarili po rin nila.

03:38:08Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003725

With that po, our total is at 2 billion pesos.

03:38:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003726

Again, MOOE gas at 322 million.

03:38:16Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003727

MOOE operations at 1.18 billion.

03:38:21Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003728

Capital outlay at 447.99 million.

03:38:25Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003729

And the Congressional Migrant Workers Scholarship Program at an additional 50 million.

03:38:30Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-003730

Thank you very much, Madam Chair, dear Congressman.

03:38:32Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003731

Thank you, PY Caunan.

03:38:34Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003732

Before I would move for the approval of the increase of 2 billion each, I would like to just state I have here a constituent.

03:38:44Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003733

The problem in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there is the non-issuance of resident permit, ICAMA.

03:38:52Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003734

Could you explain this one first?

03:38:54Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003735

What is this ICAMA not issued by the government of the Kingdom?

03:39:01Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003736

Who should be able to have our residents there work and transact business?

03:39:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003737

Yes, in general po, this is required for every OFW who goes there.

03:39:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003738

So every OFW has what you call an ICAMA, residence permit.

03:39:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003739

However, it can happen na nagkakaroon ng legal problems.

03:39:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003740

Ang mga kababayan natin, most likely related sa kanilang stay, maaring nag-overstay, o di kaya perceived violations of their stay.

03:39:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003741

So, ang key po dito, in brief, Mr. Chair, is the legal assistance through the AKSYON Fund.

03:39:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003742

So, the good news is kami ni Usec. Jun Rasul just came from Jeddah and we met our lawyers in Saudi.

03:39:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003743

The Tebiah Law Office who provides legal assistance, they have an array of 30 lawyers in their law firm who provide assistance to our workers.

03:40:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003744

So, we easily refer these cases na hindi maka-renew ng ICAMA for immigration-related problems or labor-related problems one way or another.

03:40:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003745

So, rest assured that we address this situation.

03:40:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003746

Some cases take longer than others, admittedly.

03:40:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003747

But rest assured, Mr. Congressman, Madam Chair, we are on top of the legal cases that are being handled by our law firm, our legal retainers, our in-house lawyers.

03:40:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003748

And also, kung merong utang po, halimbawa, sa ospital or immigration-related penalties, we shoulder these expenses for our workers.

03:40:50Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003749

Thank you, Madam Chair.

03:40:54Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003750

I now move for the approval of the budget of the DMW and the OWWA, plus 2 billion each.

03:41:05Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003751

Because we have to convince the Speaker and our Chairperson that this is a department which should all help.

03:41:12Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003752

After all, we call our workers, overseas workers, our heroes.

03:41:16Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003753

And so, we should be able to work on that.

03:41:19Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003754

So, with our Chair, we will be able to do that.

03:41:21Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-003755

So, move, Madam Chair.

03:41:23Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-003756

Thank you so much, Honorable Rufus Rodriguez.

03:41:30Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-003757

Though we very much appreciate the motion, we want to remind everyone that this is, our proceeding today is just a budget briefing.

03:41:38Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-003758

And, of course, the ruling would be considered in the proper time.

03:41:47Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

life to this proceeding.

03:42:00Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-003768

Even Secretary Hans was excited to answer your questions.

03:42:06Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-003769

I guess now we move on to our next interpolator.

03:42:09Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-003770

Sorry, before we proceed with the next interpolator, I would like to recognize our House members present here today.

03:42:16Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-003771

We have Vice Chair Bella Vanessa Suansing and Representative Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan.

03:42:28Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-003773

03:42:29Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-003774

Next to interpellate from the majority, we have Representative Florabel Yatco.

03:42:36Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003775

Good afternoon, Secretary, Admin PY.

03:42:40Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003776

Itatanong ko lang naman yung tulad nung nabanggit kanina ni Congressman Tina.

03:42:46Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003777

It's about the OFW.

03:42:47Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003778

Like during 25-26, ilang pamilya at OFW ang nasilbihan natin dito sa hospital na ito?

03:42:57Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003779

At for...

03:42:58Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003780

2027 na budget natin, ano po ang mga kongkretong improvements na maaaring nilang asahan sa pagdating sa mga access services at sa quality care ng OFW?

03:43:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003781

I will request Usec. Niki Tutay who handles the hospital to answer the details.

03:43:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003782

But at the outset, 184,870 po ang napagsilbihan.

03:43:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003783

But this is beginning...

03:43:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003784

Yung term ng ating mahal na Pangulo, ang panahon po natin sa Department of Migrant Workers.

03:43:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003785

We can provide the necessary breakdowns on a year-to-year basis.

03:43:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003786

And yung kaukulang budget po na binigay sa atin is 423.59 million.

03:43:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003787

However, as mentioned during the question of Congressman Rodriguez,

03:43:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003788

we are seeking an additional...

03:44:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003789

200.

03:44:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003790

million.

03:44:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003791

Can I request Usec. Niki, Madam Chair, to provide some more details?

03:44:12Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003792

'Yun pong nabanggit po ng ating kalihim ay 'yung number of patients, unique patients po ito.

03:44:18Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003793

So it could be the OFW herself, either a family also, or pwede rin po yung parents po ng OFWs.

03:44:26Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003794

So over the years po, tumataas naman po yung ating unique patient, sir.

03:44:32Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003795

So we started with around 7,383 back in second half of 2022.

03:44:40Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003796

And then it rose to 34,634 patients.

03:44:46Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003797

And then for...

03:44:47Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003798

2024, it's 44,516.

03:44:52Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003799

And in 2025, 59,000 or close to 60,000 po.

03:44:57Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003800

For 2026 po, January until July, it's close to 40,000 na po na patients. And the services po, the diagnostics and the other medical services ay pataas po.

03:45:14Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003801

Sa ngayon po, this year, we were able to introduce the pre-employment medical exam at a lower rate compared to the other clinics or hospitals for our overseas Filipino workers before they depart.

03:45:30Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003802

The other services po that we have ay yung pong cancer care, we are preparing it na.

03:45:40Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003803

It's currently being constructed and we do hope po that by the first...

03:45:44Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003804

To be launched on 2027, right?

03:45:46Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003805

2027 po.

03:45:47Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003806

And then we want, we're targeting a level 3 because the bed capacity is around 102.

03:45:56Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003807

Sa ngayon po, we are at a level 2 with around 78 beds approved by the Department of Health.

03:46:05Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003808

But for the number of patients, do you think, is it all coming from the central Luzon?

03:46:12Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003809

No.

03:46:13Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003811

Based on our statistics, Your Honor, we have around 90 to 95% coming from Luzon, particularly po from central Luzon.

03:46:23Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003812

But we have patients coming from Mindanao, Visayas, and also as far as Bicol region po.

03:46:32Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003813

Actually, sana nga magkaroon tayo, Mr. Chair, ng Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao na OFW Hospital.

03:46:39Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003814

But for my second question,

03:46:42Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003815

since nabanggit niyo na nga po yung cancer care center,

03:46:48Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003816

can the department tell us how much is the 2027 budget specifically intended for the cancer care?

03:46:54Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003817

Aside from the 200 million, kasama na ba yung 200 million doon?

03:46:58Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003818

Enough ba siya to serve all the cancer patients, to pay the salaries of the special doctors?

03:47:05Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003819

It may not be enough, Your Honor, but for

03:47:09Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003820

2027 NEP, our budget is around 400 million po.

03:47:21Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003821

So kaya nagpapadagdag po sana kami ng 200 million pa.

03:47:26Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003822

And then, meron po kaming...

03:47:28Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003823

We're thinking of a dialysis services also because most of the patients sa OFW Hospital po ay meron pong chronic disease,

03:47:42Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003824

Kidney disease, that's the top health or medical needs.

03:47:47Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003825

And then, yung cancer po ay tumataas din po yung cases po ng cancer na pumupunta po sa aming hospital.

03:47:57Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003826

Sana ma-request niyo na yung dialysis center din, maisabay next year?

03:48:02Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003827

Kasi, Mr. Chair, I've been in OFW and nag-medical mission na rin kami sa OFW.

03:48:10Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003828

And it's a very beautiful hospital.

03:48:13Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003829

Medyo may mga kulang, kaya dapat mataasan natin yung budget.

03:48:18Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003830

Pero maayos, na-maintain, na papatakbo ng maayos.

03:48:23Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003831

And we're thankful, Madam Chair.

03:48:26Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003832

She helped us po in one of the medical missions.

03:48:29Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-003833

And we would like to pursue that on a regular basis together with the Makati Medical Center.

03:48:36Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003834

We work with Makati Med for that for every year.

03:48:39Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003835

So, sana hindi lang OFW, but yung mga...

03:48:41Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003836

but yung mga kalapit probinsya ng malapit sa OFW, napagsilbihan natin 'yon.

03:48:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003837

Just a quick thank you.

03:48:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003838

Nasabi na ni Usec Niki, but I wish for it to come from myself.

03:48:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003839

Thank you, Congresswoman Yatco.

03:49:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003840

Of course, she, the good Congresswoman brought in the Makati Med doctors.

03:49:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003841

who teamed up with our just as able OFW hospital medical staff,

03:49:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003842

joined forces to conduct the medical mission.

03:49:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003843

And...

03:49:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003844

Expanded services ang kanilang ibinigay.

03:49:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003845

May surgical pa eh, no?

03:49:19Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003846

Yes, major surgery.

03:49:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003847

It was a major surgical medical mission.

03:49:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003848

It was not an ordinary medical mission.

03:49:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-003849

So, maraming salamat po.

03:49:30Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003850

Kaya sana lahat ng request niyo mapagbigyan.

03:49:34Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003851

Especially the cancer.

03:49:35Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003852

Very excited kami sa cancer center.

03:49:37Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003853

Tsaka sa dialysis.

03:49:38Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003854

Sa daming tumataas na numbers na may sakit sa mga kidney.

03:49:43Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

asr-003856

Kailangan talaga ng dialysis.

03:49:47Source

Rep. Florabel C. Yatco

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003860

Thank you, Madam Chair.

03:50:03Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003861

Good afternoon to our DMW Secretary, Sec. Cacdac.

03:50:07Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003862

Sa ating DMW family, to my colleagues, to our Chairwoman, Aking Kambal.

03:50:15Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003863

On the onset, I would like to commend Sec. Cacdac and our OWA admin, PY, for all the success, full repatriations, all the services you have provided our OFWs in areas where they've been living in areas of struggle and conflict.

03:50:35Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003864

You have been the stability and the support that they have required.

03:50:38Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003865

So, from the top of this interpellation, I would like to commend the DMW family.

03:50:44Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003866

Under the leadership of Sec. Cacdac.

03:50:47Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003867

I just have very few questions.

03:50:49Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003868

I believe last year, I raised this concern with the National Maritime Polytechnic.

03:50:59Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003869

In fact, for some background, the NMP is the only government publicly run maritime training center.

03:51:11Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003870

So, being the single and sole

03:51:13Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003871

Public university for our maritime workers.

03:51:19Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003872

It, to me, is so important that we support NMP and their continued expansion.

03:51:25Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003873

So, I learned recently, in August 3, I believe, is that correct, Madam Chair?

03:51:31Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003874

If I may ask Executive Director Del Rosario, that the NMP has begun to offer free maritime training courses.

03:51:38Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003875

Is that correct?

03:51:44Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003876

With the permission of the good Secretary, Madam Chair.

03:51:48Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003877

First of all,

03:51:50Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003878

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Congressman Niko Daza,

03:51:53Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003879

because in my recollection, he was the only congressman last year who stood for NMP,

03:52:00Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003880

both in the committee hearing and in the plenary.

03:52:03Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003881

Thank you so much, Congressman Daza.

03:52:06Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003883

And to answer your question that is correct, Congressman,

03:52:11Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003884

effective August 3, this year, we have started the implementation of our free training program in all our

03:52:19Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003885

regular training courses

03:52:21Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003886

at NMP. Presently, we have

03:52:22Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003887

55 courses,

03:52:24Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003888

23 of which are mandatory

03:52:26Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003889

STCW courses and the rest

03:52:28Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003890

are recommended courses.

03:52:31Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003891

And that is completely for free

03:52:33Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003892

based on the pursuant to

03:52:34Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003893

the memorandum order issued by

03:52:36Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003894

our good Secretary Cacdac,

03:52:39Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003895

Memorandum Order 360.

03:52:42Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003896

Madam Chair,

03:52:43Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003897

may I ask, how do we fund

03:52:44Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003898

these free courses? Is this subsidized

03:52:46Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003899

by the government?

03:52:48Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003900

Yes, the National

03:52:51Source

Maritime Polytechnic.

03:52:52Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003902

We used to be an attached agency of the

03:52:54Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003903

Department of Labor and Employment

03:52:56Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003904

until we were subsumed in

03:52:58Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003905

February 2022 with

03:53:00Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003906

the creation of the Department of Migrant

03:53:02Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003907

Workers. We are fully subsidized

03:53:04Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003908

by the National Government,

03:53:06Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003909

Madam Chair.

03:53:08Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003910

So, Madam Chair, since we are subsidizing

03:53:11Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003911

these free maritime courses,

03:53:12Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003912

which I believe is

03:53:14Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003913

such a powerful

03:53:16Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003914

and will deliver such

03:53:18Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003915

great impact to our

03:53:20Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003916

maritime or those who

03:53:22Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003917

aspire to be a maritime worker

03:53:24Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003918

or a seafarer, I'm concerned

03:53:27Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003919

no, kasi as we look at

03:53:28Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003920

the budget of the NMP,

03:53:31Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003921

there's a

03:53:32Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003922

difference of

03:53:33Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003923

from the 2026

03:53:36Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003924

GAA to its 2027

03:53:38Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003925

NEP, there's a difference of

03:53:40Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003926

210 million or the equivalent of a

03:53:42Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003927

slash of 52%.

03:53:44Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003928

So, of course, after hearing from the

03:53:46Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003929

good executive director that

03:53:48Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003930

we're now offering free maritime

03:53:50Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003931

courses, naturally it's this

03:53:52Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003932

representation's concern, is

03:53:54Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003933

this something that is sustainable?

03:53:56Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003934

As it currently stands,

03:53:58Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003935

your 2027 NEP

03:53:59Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003936

has been slashed 52%.

03:54:02Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003937

So,

03:54:03Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003938

my question to the executive

03:54:06Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003939

director,

03:54:07Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003940

in your perspective, Madam

03:54:12Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003941

Chair,

03:54:12Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003942

what are the funding requirements to

03:54:16Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003943

maintain or sustain these

03:54:18Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003944

free maritime courses?

03:54:20Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003945

First of all, Madam Chair,

03:54:22Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003946

Mr. Congressman, the 51%

03:54:24Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003947

reduction is primarily

03:54:26Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003948

on our capital outlay

03:54:28Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003949

because this year we've been

03:54:30Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003950

given already 271

03:54:32Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003951

million for our infrastructure project.

03:54:34Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003952

So, that is why it's

03:54:36Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003953

heavily reduced by 51%.

03:54:38Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003954

But as far as our

03:54:39Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003955

PS requirement on our

03:54:42Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003956

MOOE, they are

03:54:44Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003957

maintained at a

03:54:46Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003958

comfortable level that

03:54:48Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003959

we will be able to implement

03:54:50Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003960

the free training program by

03:54:52Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003961

next year. As a matter of fact,

03:54:54Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003962

Madam Chair, Mr. Congressman,

03:54:57Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003963

for this

03:54:58Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003964

year, we are targeting to be

03:55:00Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003965

able to train more or

03:55:02Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003966

less 28,000 seafarers.

03:55:05Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003967

From August

03:55:06Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003968

to December, we expect to train

03:55:08Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003969

for free 12,000

03:55:10Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003970

Filipino seafarers, including

03:55:12Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003971

that from Northern Samar.

03:55:14Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003972

And hopefully, if you have more referral

03:55:16Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003973

from the first district of Northern Samar,

03:55:18Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003974

we would be more than willing

03:55:20Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003975

to accommodate the referral

03:55:22Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003976

of the good congressman. Now, for next

03:55:24Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003977

year, with the budget that has

03:55:26Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003978

been earmarked to us by the

03:55:28Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003979

Department of Budget and Management

03:55:30Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003980

as reflected in the GAB,

03:55:32Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003981

we will be able

03:55:34Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003982

to train to increase

03:55:36Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003983

at least 25%.

03:55:38Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003984

That will be translated into more

03:55:40Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003985

or less 30,000 Filipino seafarers

03:55:42Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003986

that we will be able to serve

03:55:44Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003987

by 2027 with this

03:55:46Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-003988

budget that has been allocated to us.

03:55:49Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003989

So,

03:55:50Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003990

it's my understanding, Madam Chair,

03:55:52Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003991

that, of course, with the

03:55:54Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003992

offered

03:55:57Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003993

free maritime courses,

03:55:59Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003994

there's going to be a surge of

03:56:01Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003995

applicants.

03:56:04Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003996

Would, Madam Chair,

03:56:06Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003997

would the Executive Director feel

03:56:07Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003998

that the current facilities or the infrastructure

03:56:10Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-003999

currently at NMP

03:56:11Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004000

in Tacloban is

03:56:14Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004001

enough for the

03:56:17Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004002

forecasted

03:56:18Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004003

rush of

03:56:19Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004004

applications?

03:56:20Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004005

Yes.

03:56:21Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004006

As to our

03:56:23Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004007

absorptive capacity, Mr. Chair,

03:56:26Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004008

on the expected influx

03:56:27Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004009

of enrollment because of the free

03:56:29Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004010

training program, that is why

03:56:31Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004011

we are very thankful that the

03:56:33Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004012

Secretary has included in the

03:56:35Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004013

quote-unquote

03:56:37Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004014

motion for reconsideration to the

03:56:39Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004015

House of Representatives

03:56:40Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004016

the additional request

03:56:43Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004017

of NMP for 92 million,

03:56:46Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004018

67 million

03:56:48Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004019

of which is for the

03:56:49Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004020

construction of our proposed

03:56:51Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004021

125 million training

03:56:54Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004022

building. With this, we will be able

03:56:56Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004023

to construct additional 15

03:56:57Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004024

training rooms

03:56:59Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004025

for us to accommodate

03:57:02Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004026

the increase of

03:57:03Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004027

enrollment by next year

03:57:05Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004028

and in the years to come.

03:57:07Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004029

And the 16 million is also

03:57:09Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004030

for our ISSP, for our

03:57:11Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004031

information systems.

03:57:13Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004032

Now, as to our PS

03:57:16Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004033

and MOOE, as I've said,

03:57:17Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004034

stated earlier, I would like to

03:57:20Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004035

believe that the DBM has

03:57:21Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004036

allocated a comfortable

03:57:23Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004037

ceiling for us to be able to implement

03:57:25Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004038

our free training program by next year.

03:57:28Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004039

Except for that

03:57:29Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004040

92 million that

03:57:31Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004041

we are hoping that Congress

03:57:33Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004042

would restore.

03:57:35Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004043

Just to clarify, Madam Chair,

03:57:37Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004044

this 92 million, this is

03:57:39Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004045

or million no, is

03:57:41Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004046

regarding or

03:57:43Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004047

related to that presidential

03:57:45Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004048

decree of 1978

03:57:48Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004049

which is where an

03:57:49Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004050

NMP, I believe, acquired land in

03:57:51Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004051

Davao and Cavite.

03:57:54Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004052

So far, this has been an

03:57:55Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004053

unfunded mandate where

03:57:56Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004054

NMP still does not have satellite

03:57:59Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004055

campuses. Is that correct?

03:58:02Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004056

Yes, Madam Chair,

03:58:03Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004057

Mr. Congressman, the 92

03:58:05Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004058

million, the 67 million

03:58:07Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004059

of which is for the construction

03:58:09Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004060

of additional training building in NMP

03:58:11Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004061

Tacloban.

03:58:13Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004062

It's a separate proposal for the

03:58:15Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004063

establishment of RTC

03:58:17Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004064

Cavite and Davao

03:58:19Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004065

which is still in the pre-implementation

03:58:21Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004066

stage. We're still conducting the feasibility

03:58:23Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004067

study. So hopefully we can

03:58:25Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004068

propose the budgetary requirement

03:58:27Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004069

by 2028,

03:58:28Source

NMP Executive Director III Victor A. Del Rosario

asr-004070

fiscal year 2028.

03:58:31Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004071

Okay, thank you.

03:58:33Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004072

Madam Chair,

03:58:35Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004073

well, I was going to ask questions to our

03:58:37Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004074

admin, admin PY, but I believe

03:58:39Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004075

admin PY has answered,

03:58:42Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004076

has shared

03:58:43Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004077

especially kung saan sila po

03:58:45Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004078

nangangailangan ng pundo.

03:58:47Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004079

So at this point, Madam Chair,

03:58:49Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004080

I would like to manifest,

03:58:50Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004081

I would like to join the chorus of

03:58:53Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004082

my fellow congressmen and

03:58:55Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004083

congresswomen for the increased

03:58:57Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004084

budget of the DMW.

03:59:00Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004085

I will

03:59:01Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004086

so that we are clear

03:59:03Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004087

now, Madam Chair, because you are of course

03:59:05Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004088

sponsoring and defending their budget.

03:59:07Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004089

Pag-iisan natin.

03:59:09Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004090

The DMW is requesting

03:59:11Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004091

an additional 4B, 2B for

03:59:13Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

asr-004111

deepest gratitude to the DMW family. You have been such shining beacons in a time of such

03:59:59Source

Rep. Niko Raul S.J. Daza

peril and struggle, lalo na para sa ating mga kababayan na overseas. Maraming salamat. Thank you,

Thank you, Madam Chair.

04:00:29Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004116

Magandang hapon sa ating DMW family and of course the OWWA family. Alam niyo po kanina habang nandito ako halos naitanong na lahat itong mga, lalo na sa reintegration. Mahirap talaga pag huli, halos wala ka nang maitanong eh. So naitanong po na lahat. So maganda naman yung programa ng returning OFWs natin. Naging successful naman yung binibigay tulong ng gobyerno. So meron lang akong katanungan doon, parang hindi ito naitanong. Paano po yung ating OFW na bigyan, tapos ika nga hindi nag-materialize yung binigay sa kanyang pondo? Ano po ang susunod na gagawin ng ating OWWA o ang DMW?

04:01:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004117

Sige po, kami po ni Admin PY ang sasagot sa katanungan.

04:01:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004126

It can happen nga po na binigyan ng pondong pang-negosyo, halimbawa. At it can happen na hindi nag-prosper yung negosyo, pero hindi naman po sarado ang pinto.

04:01:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004127

Kasi ang batayan namang prinsipyo po diyan is, as long as merong determinasyon at sound business proposal yung ating OFW, naniniwala din po kasi kami na sa isang beses na pagbagsak ng isang OFW sa attempt niya, posibleng dalawang beses siya makakabangon.

04:02:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004128

Ang kailangan pong gawin ay suportahan siya kung karapat-dapat naman pong suportahan.

04:02:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004129

We will also reinforce this through business mentorship.

04:02:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004130

May mga private sector and government partners po tayo sa DTI, halimbawa, who can provide coaching para mabigyan ng kumpiyansa at saka tulong na rin sa technical na aspeto ng pagnenegosyo.

04:02:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004131

Pangalawa po, kung ito ay sa larangan ng medikal o legal, hindi po natin siya bibitawan kahit anong mangyari.

04:02:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004132

Kung patuloy niyang kailangan ng tulong,

04:02:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004133

kahit hindi nag-work yung kanyang negosyo pero patuloy ang kanyang medical assistance na kinakailangan, hindi po natin siya bibitawan.

04:02:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004134

Kaya walang magiging impact yung hindi pagtagumpay sa negosyo sa pag-treat ng kanyang medical condition.

04:02:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004135

And so goes with legal. We continue to provide legal assistance.

04:03:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004136

Hindi po magiging, hindi magdudulot ng kawalan ng pag-asa sa legal at medical na aspeto o financial na aspeto dahil nandoon pa rin tayo para gabayan siya.

04:03:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004138

And of course, as I said, Mr. Congressman, Madam Chair, Admin PY will also have her say on this matter.

04:03:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004139

Thank you very much, Sec.

04:03:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004140

With the permission of the Secretary.

04:03:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004141

Alam n'yo po, Madam Chair, dear Congressman, marami po tayong mga kababayan na eksaktong ganito yung sitwasyon.

04:03:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004142

Kasi po ang pagnenegosyo napakahirap po.

04:03:38Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004143

Hindi po iyan

04:03:39Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004144

kahit nagtapos ng business course o kung ano man,

04:03:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004145

ay hindi po automatic na gumagana agad o yumayabong ang negosyo.

04:03:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004146

Kaya nga po napaka-importante nung aming partnership at especially po yung National Reintegration Network,

04:03:57Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004147

ang partnership po natin sa TESDA.

04:03:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004148

Dahil meron po kaming magandang naging partnership. Ito po yung K2K.

04:04:07Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004149

I think si Kiko will be able to talk about this.

04:04:12Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004150

Kami po ay nagsama-sama: DOLE, DMW, and then TESDA at OWWA po.

04:04:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004151

Ito po ay pinagsama-sama na po yung efforts natin dahil marami po tayong kababayan na after po nung naibigay nating assistance,

04:04:31Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004152

nagsimula ng negosyo, ngunit hindi pinalad, ngunit gusto pang sumubok ulit.

04:04:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004153

Baka ang kailangan na pong intervention ay upskilling at training

04:04:41Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004156

at papasok na po diyan yung mga partnerships po natin under the NRN.

04:04:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004157

Sec, with your permission, maybe Asikiko can add as well.

04:04:51Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004158

Thank you.

04:04:52Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004159

Iyon lang kinaklaro natin.

04:04:54Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004160

At least siguro itong ating napag-uusapan dito, minsan naka-live naman po ito.

04:05:02Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004161

So at least marinig ng ating mga OFW, kasi ang iba diyan nahihiya.

04:05:07Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004162

Dahil alam n'yo naman, di nag-materialize yung sa kanilang binigay na puhunan

04:05:10Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004163

So makakaano naman sila. Dahil

04:05:14Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004164

minomonitor niyo naman po iyan. Siyempre, pag hindi naman po tama yung ginawa nila, siyempre,

04:05:19Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004165

hindi naman natin, sabi nga,

04:05:22Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004166

iko-consentihin, di ba?

04:05:24Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004167

So, magandang paliwanag po iyon dahil iyan talaga

04:05:30Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004168

kailangan natin, tuloy-tuloy na matulungan natin. Kasi

04:05:33Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004169

pag hindi natin natulungan, maaaring bumalik ulit. Siyempre, alam naman natin

04:05:37Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004170

talagang kailangan nilang maghanapbuhay, lalo na pag medyo may mga pinag-aaral ang mga iyan.

04:05:44Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004172

Opo. So, ang pangalawa kong katanungan po, just recently lang po, yung siguro nabalita naman natin ito, yung sa Bicol. Recently lang po, yung DMW nag-shutdown ng alleged illegal recruitment operation sa Bicol,

04:06:05Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004173

offering overseas job through social media and local radio, with applicant reportedly being charged as 350,000, despite the company having no authority to recruit.

04:06:20Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004174

So, with the scheme like this becoming more accessible through digital platform that could reach even geographically isolated province like our province, Singkatan, Duwanis,

04:06:34Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004175

so we may ask DMW, what concrete countermeasures are currently in place to prevent and suppress illegal recruitment and trafficking in the province outside Metro Manila?

04:06:50Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004176

What news or expanded initiatives are lodged in this proposed 2024 budget?

04:06:58Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004177

More importantly, ano po ang maaasahang agarang tulong ng ating mga kababayan na nabibiktima ng ganitong scheme?

04:07:04Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004178

How will this scheme and how will DMW ensure that these services are readily accessible even to the victim in the island province like Katanduanis?

04:07:14Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004179

Madam Chair.

04:07:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004180

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Congressman. Madam Chair, ang malaking pakinabang po ng pondong binigay n'yo sa amin under the leadership of the President, also on the executive side ng 19th and 20th Congresses,

04:07:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004181

lumaki yung aming regional offices.

04:07:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004183

From usually 8 to 10 persons noong panahon ng POEA, ngayon po 30 to 40 na ang laman ng ating regional offices na regular personnel po ito.

04:07:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004184

Kaya nagkaroon ng capability tayong mag-track down ng illegal recruitment activities all over the country.

04:07:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004185

And we're proud to say na ang law enforcement efforts natin translates into active closure endeavors all over the country.

04:08:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004186

Kasama na po dito yung recent effort natin sa Kabikulan, and we're thankful to the local authorities po, local police and local government units who partnered with us along these lines.

04:08:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004187

Ngayon, kasama po talaga ang online na paglaban sa online facilities.

04:08:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004188

May efforts na po dito yung anti-illegal recruitment, anti-trafficking teams natin.

04:08:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

So, with your permission, Madam Chair, can I request Yusek Bernard Olalia to further elaborate?

Mr. Chair, Madam Chair. At kasama po doon sa preventive measures na napaka-importante is

04:09:09Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004199

our convergence framework with the LGUs.

04:09:12Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004200

Nakikipag-usap po sila sa ating members of the Congress, sa mga LGU officials, kay Governor, kay

04:09:17Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004201

Mayor. Para nang sa ganoon, masugpo po natin yung mga illegal recruitment traffickers natin sa

04:09:23Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004202

regions.

04:09:23Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004203

At siyempre, we already cascaded one of the more important programs sa Central

04:09:29Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004204

Office, yung tinatawag po ni Secretary kanina na surveillance and closure programs.

04:09:37Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004207

Yung surveillances po are being conducted by our regional offices to determine kung sino yung mga

04:09:43Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004208

illegal recruiters and traffickers.

04:09:45Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004209

And after verification, meron tayong closure na ginagawa.

04:09:49Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004210

Katulad po ng ginawa natin sa Bicol, sinarado natin yung isang consultancy firm. It's a proactive move

04:09:55Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004211

by our regional office to prevent yung traffickers na ginagawa po online.

04:10:01Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004212

Na napakaigting po yung ating kampanya

04:10:03Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004217

laban sa mga illegal recruiters.

04:10:05Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

04:11:56Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-004274

tatawid pa kami ng Legazpi.

04:12:01Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

04:12:04Source

asr-004277

nasa anino pa rin kami ng Albay.

04:12:06Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

04:13:57Source

Rep. Irene G. Labadlabad

asr-004336

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004339

Thank you, Madam Chair.

04:14:08Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004340

And good afternoon po,

04:14:09Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004341

Secretary, Administrator,

04:14:11Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004342

and everyone who attended.

04:14:13Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004343

So, as a labor law practitioner

04:14:15Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004344

before entering Congress,

04:14:17Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004345

I have conducted a survey

04:14:20Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004346

of the Philippine cases

04:14:21Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004347

na have been decided

04:14:23Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004348

regarding labor law.

04:14:25Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004349

And nakakabahala lang po

04:14:27Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004350

na isa sa mga usual na tinatalakay

04:14:29Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004351

pagdating sa mga kaso

04:14:31Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004352

na umaabot sa Supreme Court,

04:14:32Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004353

palagi po tungkol sa medical repatriation

04:14:36Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004354

Dahil pag nakita po

04:14:37Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004355

natin yung mga

04:14:38Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004356

rules tungkol dito,

04:14:40Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004357

napaka-stringent

04:14:42Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004358

or confusing minsan

04:14:43Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004359

para sa ating mga

04:14:44Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004360

repatriated na mga...

04:14:46Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004361

OFWs, kung paano ba susundin yung mga third-party doctors,

04:14:52Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004362

paano po ba yung mga susundin nila na timeline when it comes to securing the opinion of a third-party doctor.

04:15:00Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004363

So makikita po natin na maraming beses po na hindi po nakakaklaim ang ating OFWs

04:15:07Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004364

ng mga medical reimbursements na dapat nakukuha po nila sa mga kumpanya.

04:15:11Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004365

So yung tanong ko lang po, Secretary, ano po ba yung mga measures natin para masiguro na natutulungan po natin

04:15:18Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004366

yung mga ganitong medically repatriated OFWs?

04:15:21Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004367

And meron po ba tayong figures kung gano'ng karami po yung mga applicants for assistance

04:15:28Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004368

kung meron pong binibigay po ang DMW sa kanila?

04:15:32Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004369

Salamat po.

04:15:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004370

Thank you, Mr. Congressman and Madam Chair.

04:15:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004371

Definitely, you are known.

04:15:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004372

As a legal labor practitioner. And we very well could work with your good office, Mr. Congressman,

04:15:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004373

along the lines of helping our OFWs overcome yung legal challenges nila, lalo na yung mga tripulante natin.

04:15:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004374

Indeed, the Magna Carta for Seafarers has resolved in terms of policy, practice,

04:16:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004375

itong problema sa recovery of compensation claims.

04:16:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004376

So we have undertaken the IRR, the rules and regulations to implement the institutionalization of third-party doctors

04:16:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004377

as well as working closely with the DOH along these lines.

04:16:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004378

With your permission, Mr. Congressman, Madam Chair, may I ask Usec. Bernard Olalia,

04:16:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004379

to also provide us further details as he has been on top of the IRR development implementation as well of the Magna Carta.

04:16:43Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004380

With the kind permission of the Secretary, one of the greatest accomplishments of this administration,

04:16:48Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004381

including this Congress, is yung the passage of the Magna Carta for Seafarers.

04:16:52Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004382

At tama po si Sec, meron na pong IRR niyan.

04:16:55Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004383

And under the rules ng Magna Carta, first would be the assessment, medical assessment to be conducted by the company doctor.

04:17:02Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004384

If the company doctor's assessment is not objected to by the OFW, that will be a final assessment.

04:17:09Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004385

However, kung meron ang counter-assessment si OFW,

04:17:12Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004386

medical doctor at conflict doon sa company doctor, we need a third doctor.

04:17:17Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004387

doon po papasok yung DMW intervention.

04:17:20Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004388

Because the DMW will craft the guidelines for the selection of a third doctor to be chosen from among the doctors ng DOH.

04:17:31Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004389

And currently, meron po kaming kinacraft na joint guidelines with the DOH for the selection of the third doctor.

04:17:39Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004390

Ang isa pong kagandahan ng Magna Carta is the

04:17:42Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004391

action fund to be utilized as a surety bond in case na magkaroon po ng appeal,

04:17:50Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004392

yung decision to be issued by the NLRC or NCMB.

04:17:54Source

DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia

asr-004393

So along these lines, the DMW will be ready to assist in the full implementation of the provisions of the Magna Carta po.

04:18:02Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004394

Maraming salamat po, Usec. and Secretary.

04:18:05Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004395

One last question lang po.

04:18:07Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004396

So, bali doon po sa action fund,

04:18:10Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004397

would that be sufficient po sa dami po ng

04:18:13Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004398

mga possible cases po na lumalapit po sa DMW at saka sa mga ganito po yung mga conflicting na mga opinions of the doctors,

04:18:20Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004399

Would the AKSYON Fund be enough po to assist these repatriated OFWs?

04:18:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004400

Yes, it would be sufficient.

04:18:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004401

But of course, having said that,

04:18:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004402

we are yet to determine the, to benchmark the experience.

04:18:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004403

But as we estimate it,

04:18:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004404

ang makukover po dito would be sufficient in terms of the number of those who need to be legally assisted.

04:18:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004405

Because ang isang confidence level po namin ay yung increasing number of conciliated cases.

04:18:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004406

Whereas, you know, Mr. Congressman,

04:19:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004407

hindi kailangan ng lawyers or adjudicatory services of a lawyer.

04:19:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004408

So, in which case, with conciliation as a main mode of dispute settlement,

04:19:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004409

hindi na nga ho kailangan umabot sa legal intervention,

04:19:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004410

let's say sa NLRC or elsewhere, voluntary arbitration.

04:19:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004411

So, we're confident that may increasing, as confirmed by the sector, the industry,

04:19:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004412

may increasing number of conciliated cases and settled through conciliation.

04:19:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004413

So, we're confident na this won't necessitate the hiring of a lawyer.

04:19:38Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004414

Sir, if I may add as well

04:19:39Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004415

as regards the efforts of OWWA

04:19:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004416

when it comes to conciliation, specifically of sea-based workers,

04:19:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004417

we have reached last year for 2025,

04:19:52Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004418

99.23% settlement rate.

04:19:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004419

The monetary claims awarded is close to 180 million.

04:20:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004420

If you add that to a land base,

04:20:05Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004421

our total settlement rate is at 94%.

04:20:08Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004422

So, it's quite a good number.

04:20:10Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004423

And

04:20:11Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004424

close to 200,

04:20:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004425

over 202 million in settlement amount.

04:20:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004446

My line of questioning would be about OFW dependents.

04:21:18Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004447

This happens a lot in our district where

04:21:21Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004448

unfortunately,

04:21:23Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004449

the children,

04:21:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004450

the women of our OFWs are those most at risk

04:21:30Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004451

to online threats.

04:21:32Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004452

I'm not going to mention,

04:21:35Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004453

but I think everyone is well-versed on what has been happening,

04:21:39Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004454

all of the threats that emerge for our children in the online space.

04:21:44Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004455

I just want to ask the DMW family,

04:21:48Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004456

if under the Action Fund,

04:21:52Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004457

if we have to repatriate,

04:21:54Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004458

because this happens a lot,

04:21:55Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004459

where the children and the dependents OFWs

04:22:00Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004460

fall to abuse,

04:22:05Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004461

and we have to repatriate our OFWs,

04:22:09Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004462

does that fall under the Action Fund?

04:22:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004463

Yes, and definitely,

04:22:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004464

Madam Chair, Madam Congresswoman,

04:22:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004465

OFW families are at the top of the President's agenda.

04:22:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004466

Insofar as protection is concerned.

04:22:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004467

In fact,

04:22:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004468

No. 1 marching order po sa amin ni Secretary Toots

04:22:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004469

Ople ng Presidente,

04:22:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004470

ang protection of OFW families.

04:22:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004472

And this is always, this has always been his concern.

04:22:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004473

Every time there is a welfare case,

04:22:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004474

kamusta ang pamilya, dependents?

04:22:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004475

So, short answer is yes,

04:22:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004476

kasama ang OFW dependents sa ating Action Fund coverage,

04:22:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004477

lalo na if they are victims of abuse.

04:22:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004478

Very recently,

04:22:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004479

I won't name the country for the protection of the family,

04:22:59Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004480

but we had an OFW married to a foreign national

04:23:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004481

who was escaping an abusive situation,

04:23:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004482

and together with the DFA,

04:23:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004483

napa-uwi po natin yung mag-ina.

04:23:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004484

So, we are involved in these types of situations.

04:23:16Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004485

As I mentioned at the outset in my intro,

04:23:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004486

even OFW families who are affected by the distressful situations

04:23:24Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004487

that their loved ones,

04:23:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004488

OFWs,

04:23:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004489

moms or dads go through,

04:23:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004490

tinutulungan po rin natin.

04:23:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004491

Of course, we need the inter-agency cooperation of DSWD

04:23:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004492

and DepEd kung kailangan may school interventions dun sa bata,

04:23:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004493

guidance, counselling, etc.

04:23:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004494

So, short answer is yes.

04:23:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004495

But Madam Chair,

04:23:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004496

I'd like to also request you, Sec. Nicky,

04:23:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004497

kasi we have an impending proposal with the social cluster ng kabinet.

04:23:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004498

We will propose to put this forward with the cluster that is sub-headed,

04:23:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004499

it's a sub-cluster headed by Sec. Arsi Balisacan

04:24:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004500

So, can I just ask Usec. Nicky,

04:24:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004501

to briefly walk us through the framework of what we will propose

04:24:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004502

kasi napakahalaga po talaga ng OFW dependents.

04:24:15Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004503

Madam Chair and honorable members,

04:24:18Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004504

with the permission of the Secretary po,

04:24:20Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004506

the Secretary has planned to have an aftercare for children left behind

04:24:27Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004507

knowing that yung mga incidents of violence involving children po

04:24:33Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004508

na nababalitaan na po natin.

04:24:35Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004509

So, it's still a convergence effort,

04:24:38Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004510

but the care would,

04:24:40Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004511

because there's a care drain for children left behind

04:24:44Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004512

and therefore,

04:24:45Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004513

yung approach po natin would involve at home,

04:24:50Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004514

level,

04:24:52Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004515

and then at the community level

04:24:54Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004516

and also at the national government level.

04:24:57Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004517

So, marami pong programa ang ating mga iba't-ibang ahensya ng pamahalaan

04:25:02Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004518

but how to tie them together

04:25:03Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004519

to look after the children left behind,

04:25:07Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004520

yun po yung gusto nating marating.

04:25:10Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004521

And the goal is to establish a coordinated,

04:25:13Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004522

continuous and child-centered support system

04:25:17Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004523

that safeguards not just the physical,

04:25:19Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004524

but also the mental, psychological,

04:25:22Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004525

social and economic well-being of the children left behind.

04:25:26Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004526

So, meron po tayong mga iba't-ibang support,

04:25:32Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004527

temporary caregiving and early identification

04:25:35Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004528

of probably the problems of these children left behind.

04:25:41Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004529

It also involves child protection from abuse,

04:25:45Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004530

especially sexual abuse,

04:25:47Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004531

violence,

04:25:49Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004532

and also yung pong neglect and bullying.

04:25:51Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004533

And there's also a caregiver capacity component

04:25:56Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004534

para po doon sa mga naiiwan sa bata,

04:26:00Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004535

whether it's at home or at the community,

04:26:02Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004536

na mabigyan din po sila ng capacity building

04:26:06Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004537

for caregiving because of the parental absence.

04:26:10Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004538

And then yung service convergence na po

04:26:13Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004539

na sinasabi natin involving, for instance,

04:26:16Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004540

the DSWD,

04:26:17Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004541

which Sec. Hans already discussed with Secretary Rex.

04:26:21Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004542

And then we will also be involving TESDA.

04:26:24Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004543

The DILG because at the local community level,

04:26:29Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004544

yun po yung mas pangangailangan ng intervention.

04:26:32Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004545

And the Department of Education po

04:26:34Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004546

because yung sa school incidents po na nangyayari.

04:26:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004547

Madam Chair,

04:26:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004548

during the time of the late Secretary Ople,

04:26:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004549

and at that time,

04:26:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004550

Secretary Kakdak transitioning from being

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004551

OWWA Administrator to Undersecretary,

04:26:57Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

started the OFW Children's Circle Sec.

04:27:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004553

OWWA has the network of family circles.

04:27:06Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004554

These are, um, families of OFWs

04:27:10Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004555

and those that have returned already.

04:27:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004556

No, so we have various programs

04:27:15Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004557

through the OFW Children's Circle.

04:27:19Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004558

Um, for our,

04:27:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004559

uh, one of which, of course,

04:27:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004560

is the community-based developmental program,

04:27:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004561

value orientation.

04:27:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004562

Um, there's also, of course,

04:27:28Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004563

when it comes to the, the OFW dependents

04:27:31Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004564

that are scholars of OWWA,

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004565

numbering at 20,000,

04:27:35Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004566

we have various developmental programs.

04:27:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004567

Another intervention is through sports

04:27:41Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004568

with a purpose.

04:27:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004569

We have OWWA Cup Jr.

04:27:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

I love Ateneo.

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004573

Well, I'm a Lasallian.

04:28:00Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004574

No, but, um,

04:28:04Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004575

alam niyo naman kung gaano ka-importante ang sports,

04:28:07Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004576

lalong-lalo na sa development ng mga bata.

04:28:10Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004577

At tinitingnan po namin si Sec.,

04:28:12Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004578

meron din po siyang nasimulan yung intervention

04:28:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004579

when it comes to arts and music.

04:28:17Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004580

So, we will work our commitment

04:28:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004581

as OWWA will work closely

04:28:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004582

with the Department of Migrant Workers,

04:28:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004583

para na lalong mapayabong po ito.

04:28:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

At matingnan din,

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

baka maalala ng mga kaedadan ko po dito,

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004596

sa OFW concerns.

04:28:53Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004597

Alam niyo po,

04:28:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004598

may mga instances na

04:28:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004599

yung mismo mga anak po

04:28:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004600

ang tumatawag dito.

04:28:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004601

So, this can also be part of the

04:29:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004602

overall program

04:29:04Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004603

of both the DMW-OWWA

04:29:06Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004606

But definitely,

04:29:11Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004607

a program on community parenting

04:29:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-004608

for left behind children

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

04:29:54Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004630

we are all familiar.

04:29:56Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004631

It's basically a big brother program.

04:29:58Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004632

And it's quite beautiful.

04:30:00Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004633

Kasi it's the experiences of the OFW,

04:30:04Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004634

the returning OFWs,

04:30:05Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004635

all of those parents,

04:30:06Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004636

basically, is that right?

04:30:09Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004637

That's the ecosystem in which we're trying to build

04:30:11Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004638

where you're mentoring

04:30:13Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004639

or you're basically nagiging dependent

04:30:16Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004640

ng returning OFWs,

04:30:19Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004641

yung children who are left behind

04:30:21Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004642

by current OFWs.

04:30:23Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004643

So it's really good

04:30:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004644

kasi at least on the part of the dependent

04:30:26Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004645

who was left behind,

04:30:28Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004646

it's quite hard for family members to,

04:30:32Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004647

especially from a young age,

04:30:33Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004648

kasi my parents also went abroad for a while.

04:30:38Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004649

I was quite young then.

04:30:41Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004650

And it was quite hard for my grandparent

04:30:43Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004651

to explain to me

04:30:44Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004652

why my parents had to go.

04:30:47Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004653

But if these are also OFW parents

04:30:51Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004654

who themselves had to raise children

04:30:53Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004655

while they were away,

04:30:55Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004656

it's a different viewpoint.

04:30:58Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004657

I think they are more understanding of,

04:31:02Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004658

kasi they already went through the same thing.

04:31:05Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004659

So it's just a very good system.

04:31:07Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004660

Also, we're also,

04:31:09Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004661

actually, I'm binid na yung sarili,

04:31:12Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004663

but, in our district,

04:31:14Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004664

I'm trying to,

04:31:15Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004665

kasi it's mental wellness

04:31:16Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004666

for the kids.

04:31:19Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004667

It's really sports.

04:31:21Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004668

And if it's not sports,

04:31:22Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004669

it's going to be the artsy ones.

04:31:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004670

And everyone can express themselves through,

04:31:26Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004671

well, art therapy is now an emerging,

04:31:29Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004672

an emerging practice for mental health.

04:31:32Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004673

And also, art, music.

04:31:36Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004674

So these are really good efforts

04:31:38Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004675

that we're starting with the DMW.

04:31:41Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004676

I would like to,

04:31:42Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004677

congratulate the DMW for that.

04:31:44Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004678

Seconds, of course.

04:31:46Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004679

So, for that, po,

04:31:48Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004680

siguro, my last question

04:31:50Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004681

would be about the OFW Hospital.

04:31:53Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004682

So, the OFW Hospital is here,

04:31:56Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004683

situated here in SCR, right?

04:31:59Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004686

In San Fernando. I'm so sorry. In Pampanga.

04:32:02Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004687

How about, kasi you,

04:32:04Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004688

sorry, seconds,

04:32:07Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004689

in different regions,

04:32:09Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004690

now, there are,

04:32:11Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004699

there's a mental health component to,

04:32:15Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004700

even the OFW dependents now.

04:32:19Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004701

So, we're trying to make it,

04:32:20Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004702

not just OFW dependents,

04:32:22Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004703

but in general,

04:32:22Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004704

we have to make mental health,

04:32:24Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004705

wellness,

04:32:25Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004706

and mental health facilities

04:32:27Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004707

more available to the regions.

04:32:30Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004708

I wonder, po, if,

04:32:32Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004709

at least for OFW dependents

04:32:35Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004710

in other regions,

04:32:36Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004711

besides,

04:32:37Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004712

I know that DOH and DMW,

04:32:41Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004713

they have the,

04:32:41Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004714

there is a,

04:32:43Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004715

there's an OFW desk

04:32:46Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004716

in DOH accredited hospitals

04:32:48Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004717

that they cater to OFWs

04:32:52Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004718

and OFW dependents,

04:32:53Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004719

but in terms of the mental health programs

04:32:58Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004720

in the OFW hospital

04:33:00Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004721

and DOH accredited hospitals

04:33:02Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004722

in which DMW is also partnering with,

04:33:05Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004723

can we get details on

04:33:07Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004724

if there are available programs

04:33:10Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004725

for mental health

04:33:11Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004726

for OFW dependents?

04:33:12Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004727

Outside of the OFW hospital

04:33:14Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004728

here in Metro Manila,

04:33:16Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004729

in San Fernando.

04:33:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004730

Yes, we'll have USEC NICI

04:33:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004731

and the OFW hospital

04:33:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004732

discuss the mental health program

04:33:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004733

of the hospital.

04:33:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004734

Rest assured,

04:33:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004735

there is such a program.

04:33:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004736

And then,

04:33:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004737

as discussed by Admin PY,

04:33:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004738

the medical retainerships

04:33:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004739

that we will continue to provide

04:33:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004740

on-site will include

04:33:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004741

mental care,

04:33:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004742

because napakahalaga po nito.

04:33:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004743

Yung diniscuss na framework ni USEC NICI

04:33:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004744

also includes interagency cooperation

04:33:51Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004745

with DOH, DSWD, and DepEd.

04:33:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004746

Kasi po, it can happen na

04:33:56Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004747

hindi necessarily medical mental intervention.

04:34:00Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004748

Pwedeng guidance counseling,

04:34:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004749

pwedeng social work intervention,

04:34:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004750

social worker intervention.

04:34:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004751

So, we rest assured,

04:34:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004752

we will partner with other government agencies

04:34:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004761

along these lines.

04:34:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004762

And before I turn over to USEC NICI,

04:34:14Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004763

I'd just like to say,

04:34:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004764

na kami rin po ni Admin PY

04:34:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004767

Ako po, laking lola rin po ako.

04:34:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004768

Kaya't,

04:34:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004769

rest assured,

04:34:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004770

asr-004771

in our hearts and in our minds.

04:34:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004772

So, can I just ask USEC NICI

04:34:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-004773

to talk about the OFW Hospital program?

04:34:39Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

Thank you, Madam Chair.

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004778

Meron po tayong tinatawag na telemedicine.

04:34:49Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004779

It started way back COVID pandemic po

04:34:53Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004780

when OFW Hospital offered that services.

04:34:55Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004781

Given the rising need for mental health and wellness po,

04:35:03Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004782

meron po tayong partnership, for instance,

04:35:04Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004783

with the DSWD and also DOH

04:35:08Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004784

who also conducts online mamampu ito,

04:35:12Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004785

especially for DSWD,

04:35:13Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004786

DOH para po dun sa mental health and wellness

04:35:17Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004787

of our OFWs overseas.

04:35:20Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004788

But for people here in the country po,

04:35:23Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004789

we have a psychologist in the OFW Hospital.

04:35:28Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004790

May mga, ano po tayo,

04:35:29Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004791

sessions on mental wellness,

04:35:33Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004792

but there's still a need to improve it.

04:35:36Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004793

We need to have a psychiatrist

04:35:37Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004794

because mas maganda po na psychiatrist po.

04:35:41Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004796

So, we, we started working with or talking to

04:35:45Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004797

a number of private sector providers

04:35:49Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004798

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004799

pangangailangan po ng OFW Hospital.

04:35:54Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

And upon the instruction din po of the Secretary,

asr-004802

component on mental health.

04:36:03Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004803

And we engaged with them.

04:36:06Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004804

Similar to our problem,

04:36:07Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004805

medyo kakaunti pa lang po yung mga psychiatrist na

04:36:10Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004806

medyo accredited for this type of work.

04:36:14Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

asr-004808

But we endeavor po to strengthen this

04:36:18Source

DMW Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004815

I would just like to personally thank the DMW family.

04:36:35Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004816

When the war struck the Middle East,

04:36:40Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004817

we have thousands of OFWs

04:36:42Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004818

in the 2nd District of Sultan Kudarat.

04:36:45Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004819

Everyone was panicking.

04:36:47Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004820

Kasi they couldn't contact their parents.

04:36:51Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004821

They couldn't contact everyone.

04:36:56Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004822

And they contacted me

04:37:01Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

asr-004823

kasi they didn't know where else to turn.

04:37:03Source

Rep. Bella Vanessa B. Suansing

05:26:42Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005259

left you in very able hands, po. Second, because I wanted to make sure na

05:26:49Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005260

nakamatch yung

05:26:50Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005261

whichever background they have and field of expertise to the agencies that

05:26:55Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005262

they will defend. And you're in very good hands, po. That's what I can assure. So,

05:27:00Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005263

I'll start with that. Thank you, Kong Ai. I'll go po

05:27:04Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005264

siguro sa contents. I think I've been briefed before I

05:27:13Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005265

went here actually by Kong Ai also that there seems to be some some a very substantial

05:27:21Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005266

deficit that would need to be bridged so if I may so I had to check with DBM

05:27:29Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005267

because I believe the stand of DMW and of OWWA and the attached agencies

05:27:37Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005268

is that from NEP to NEP, 2026 NEP compared to 2027 NEP there was a substantial

05:27:44Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005269

reduction. But I spoke with DBM and they said it's a matter of how the budget

05:27:51Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005270

it was presented, but

05:27:53Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005271

as a whole, as a total,

05:27:55Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005272

the amount is still

05:27:57Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005273

comparable. So, with that,

05:28:00Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005274

I would like to request

05:28:01Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005275

our resource person

05:28:03Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005276

from DBM, just so

05:28:05Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005277

she can also speak

05:28:07Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005278

about it, Director Benjeleth

05:28:09Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005279

Zuniga.

05:28:14Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005280

Before I talk

05:28:17Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005281

about how we bridge the gap,

05:28:19Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005282

let's just align.

05:28:20Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005283

So, we're comparing apples to apples

05:28:22Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005284

as to the

05:28:24Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005285

NEP levels of 2026

05:28:26Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005286

as compared to the current

05:28:27Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005287

2027 NEP levels. Thank you.

05:28:30Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005288

Go ahead, Director.

05:28:32Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005289

Madam Chair,

05:28:34Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005290

actually,

05:28:35Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005291

yung na-mention po mga programs kanina,

05:28:38Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005292

like, for example, under

05:28:40Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005293

the MW OSEC, the programs

05:28:44Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005295

like the Action Fund,

05:28:47Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005296

the OFW Hospital,

05:28:49Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005297

the MWOs, and other

05:28:50Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005298

programs,

05:28:52Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005299

is under 1

05:28:54Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005300

PAP, which is the Workers

05:28:56Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005301

Welfare and Government Placement

05:28:58Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005302

Services. Back in

05:29:00Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005303

2026,

05:29:02Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005304

ang NEP po natin is

05:29:04Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005305

4 billion.

05:29:06Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005306

And i-clarify na po lang namin

05:29:08Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005307

na ang 2027 NEP level po

05:29:10Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005308

is at 4.6 billion.

05:29:13Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005309

So, it didn't

05:29:15Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005310

decrease.

05:29:16Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005311

Although, it didn't increase

05:29:18Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005312

that much.

05:29:20Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005313

We know that due to

05:29:22Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005314

prioritization,

05:29:24Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005315

there were limited

05:29:25Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005316

documentations.

05:29:26Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005317

Likewise, with

05:29:27Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005318

the OWHA, the ERP

05:29:29Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005319

the WASAP

05:29:32Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005320

and the ALAGANG OWHA

05:29:33Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005321

is under the

05:29:34Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005322

welfare services.

05:29:35Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005323

The NEP before

05:29:38Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005324

2026 is 2.3

05:29:40Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005325

and the NEP NEP po niya, 2027, is 3.3.

05:29:45Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005330

So, hindi rin po siya

05:29:47Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005331

nag-decrease, although

05:29:48Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005332

not nga po yung na-mention kanina po

05:29:50Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005333

nila na proposed requirements.

05:29:54Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005334

Sorry,

05:29:54Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005335

Director, could you repeat that for the

05:29:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005336

ERF?

05:29:59Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005337

The

05:30:00Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005338

Emergency Repatriation Program po,

05:30:03Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005339

na alagang OWA,

05:30:04Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005340

under 1 PAP po ito,

05:30:06Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005341

which is the Welfare Services

05:30:08Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005342

po, na ang NEP po niya

05:30:10Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005343

for 2026 is 2.3.

05:30:12Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005344

2.3. And yung

05:30:14Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005345

NEP po niya for 2027

05:30:16Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005346

is at 3.28

05:30:18Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005347

billion. So, the question

05:30:20Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005348

po is, given that the

05:30:22Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005349

sentiment is that it went

05:30:24Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005350

down, the

05:30:25Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005351

alagang OWA and ERF,

05:30:29Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005352

what happened?

05:30:30Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005353

Was it

05:30:31Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005354

broken down?

05:30:34Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005355

Yes po, actually po, yung

05:30:36Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005356

mga activities po mentioned under

05:30:38Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005357

the PAP,

05:30:40Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005358

medyo nag-reallocate po kami, kasi

05:30:42Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005359

ang basis po namin is

05:30:44Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005360

sa proposal po nila, mas priority

05:30:47Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005361

po yung

05:30:47Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005362

alagang OWA than the ERP

05:30:51Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-005363

during the proposal po.

05:30:53Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005364

So, siguro, Director,

05:30:55Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005365

this is also my

05:30:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005366

question to DBM, and I

05:30:58Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005367

understand it's the timing of the budget

05:31:00Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005368

call. Like, while the, during

05:31:03Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005369

when you prepared po the

05:31:04Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005370

Tier 1 and Tier 2 proposals

05:31:06Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005371

during the budget call, hindi pa po

05:31:09Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005372

nag, hindi pa,

05:31:10Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005373

the war, the conflict

05:31:13Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005374

has not erupted

05:31:15Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005375

yet. So, of course,

05:31:17Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005376

the emergency, lagi naman po natin

05:31:19Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005377

pinagdadasal yun, while

05:31:21Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005378

we have emergency repatriation

05:31:23Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005379

funds, the hope is

05:31:25Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005380

we wouldn't have to use it.

05:31:27Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005381

So, if I understand po, perhaps

05:31:29Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005382

when the action fund, when the

05:31:31Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005383

proposals for the action fund

05:31:32Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005384

and the ERF were

05:31:35Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005385

drafted during

05:31:37Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005386

the budget call, hindi pa

05:31:39Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005387

parang iniisip,

05:31:40Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005388

na meron pa, and you didn't

05:31:43Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005389

need to allot so much to it.

05:31:45Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005390

So, I guess the question is,

05:31:47Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005391

yung linipatan po

05:31:48Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005392

ng DBM, yung sinasabi na

05:31:50Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005393

mas priority as compared to

05:31:52Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005394

the emergency funds, is it

05:31:54Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005395

possible to reallocate

05:31:57Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005396

within the

05:31:59Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005397

fiscal, would that be

05:32:00Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005398

sufficient if i-reallocate na lang po

05:32:03Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005399

within the, I understand

05:32:05Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005400

now you're on your supplemental,

05:32:07Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005401

you're now running on the

05:32:08Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005402

supplemental budget, given,

05:32:10Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005403

the conflict, but I also

05:32:12Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005404

recognize that we would need to

05:32:14Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005405

add more, to be able to

05:32:16Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005406

respond to the needs. I'm just

05:32:18Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005407

seeing po, whether

05:32:20Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005408

within the

05:32:22Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005409

existing budget

05:32:24Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005410

that was given to the MW

05:32:26Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005411

and to OWA, is there

05:32:28Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005412

something that you can realign

05:32:30Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005413

and reallocate towards

05:32:32Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005414

the programs that you deem are

05:32:34Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005415

the utmost priority, before we

05:32:36Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005416

move to

05:32:37Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005417

supplementing it or

05:32:40Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005418

augmenting it?

05:32:40Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005419

Ma'am, if I may, with the permission of the

05:32:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005420

Secretary, as we are talking about the ERP

05:32:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005421

and the Alagang OWA,

05:32:48Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005422

ERP is the

05:32:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005423

Emergency Repatriation Program,

05:32:52Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005424

and so the ERF

05:32:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005425

is the fund.

05:32:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005426

First, ma'am,

05:32:57Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005427

very bluntly,

05:33:00Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005428

I would say, we're running on the

05:33:02Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005429

supplemental. We requested

05:33:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005430

700 million

05:33:05Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005431

supplemental for ERF

05:33:08Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005432

and

05:33:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005433

300 million for Alagang OWA.

05:33:12Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005434

Even the Alagang OWA, we needed

05:33:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005435

supplemental. The GAA

05:33:15Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005436

of Alagang OWA

05:33:17Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005437

was at

05:33:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005438

942 million.

05:33:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005439

And if you add the 300 million

05:33:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005440

that we requested as supplemental,

05:33:26Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005441

that will bring the total

05:33:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005442

to 1.2, which is

05:33:29Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005443

at the level, the same level

05:33:31Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005444

as that of the NEP of Alagang OWA

05:33:33Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005445

right now, 2027 NEP,

05:33:35Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005446

both at

05:33:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005447

1.2, at that level.

Now, we talk about the ERF

05:33:42Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005449

or the ERP.

05:33:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005450

Although they are in the same family

05:33:46Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005451

of line items,

05:33:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005452

normally,

05:33:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005453

under

05:33:50Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005454

certain conditions, realignment

05:33:53Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005455

is possible, of course.

05:33:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005456

But we will be starting at

05:33:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005457

900 million,

05:33:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005458

which is the lowest in the last

05:34:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005459

four years.

05:34:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005460

And we are still,

05:34:04Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005461

Madam Chair, in the middle of a crisis.

05:34:08Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005462

So,

05:34:08Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005463

we have now utilized

05:34:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005464

including

05:34:13Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005465

the GAA plus the

05:34:16Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005466

continuing from

05:34:18Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005467

2025

05:34:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005468

already at 1.7

05:34:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005469

billion this year alone

05:34:24Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005470

for ERF.

05:34:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005471

1.7 million.

05:34:29Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005472

And if

05:34:29Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005473

I may break it down further,

05:34:32Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005474

700 million

05:34:34Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005475

it was

05:34:37Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005476

spent by OWA just for the crisis.

05:34:39Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005477

And the 9, the 1 billion is for

05:34:41Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005479

the rest of the world.

05:34:43Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005480

The things that we do under the repatriation program.

05:34:45Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005481

So, ma'am,

05:34:47Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005482

of course,

05:34:49Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005483

we understand the limited

05:34:51Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005484

fiscal space.

05:34:53Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005485

But because there is still

05:34:56Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005486

that ongoing crisis,

05:34:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005487

it is important for us to at least

05:35:00Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005488

be able to have

05:35:01Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005489

the resources level

05:35:04Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005490

that even to start

05:35:06Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005491

the year with the same

05:35:07Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005492

resource level of the ERP,

05:35:09Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005493

as that of previous years, ma'am.

05:35:12Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005494

So, Madam Chair, that's the

05:35:14Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005495

positioning of OWA.

05:35:16Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005496

I know that it's very tight.

05:35:17Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005497

We're trying to also work within

05:35:20Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005498

the budget

05:35:22Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005499

or within the...

05:35:23Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005500

But with regards to the ERP,

05:35:25Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005501

this is something that I think

05:35:27Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005502

as shown by

05:35:29Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005503

the uplift of the

05:35:32Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005504

President, as we were

05:35:34Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005505

given DMW and OWA

05:35:36Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005506

both supplemental, this is really of

05:35:38Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005507

utmost priority, the safety of

05:35:39Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005508

our dear OFWs, Madam Chair.

05:35:42Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005509

Thank you. Thank you, po.

05:35:43Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005510

If I may ask, po, what's your

05:35:46Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005511

utilization rate for the supplemental?

05:35:48Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005512

You received

05:35:50Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005513

how much, po? How many billion

05:35:51Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005514

did you receive under uplift?

05:35:54Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005515

Under uplift for OWA, ma'am,

05:35:55Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005516

it's at 1 billion.

05:35:58Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005517

700 million

05:35:59Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005518

ERP or ERF

05:36:02Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005519

and 300 million for

05:36:03Source

OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne "PY" M. Caunan

asr-005520

Alagang OWA.

05:36:07Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005521

For that part, we had 3 billion.

05:36:09Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005522

3 billion.

05:36:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005523

mainly because

05:36:12Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005524

naubos yung 2 billion

05:36:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005525

allocated to us.

05:36:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005526

1.2 plus 800 million.

05:36:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005527

So, ubos lahat yun. And although we were

05:36:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005528

given 2 billion for the NEP

05:36:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005529

when we're thankful,

05:36:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005530

again, anticipating

05:36:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005531

the geopolitical possibilities,

05:36:32Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005533

yun naman po,

05:36:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005534

that's our lens naman po,

05:36:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005535

Chair.

05:36:37Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005536

It's good to see it

05:36:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005537

from a NEP to NEP and

05:36:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005538

technical budget

05:36:42Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005539

process.

05:36:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005540

But we're also here

05:36:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005541

to exercise

05:36:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005542

our expertise in terms of

05:36:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005543

how we see the sector,

05:36:52Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005544

the OFWs, needing the

05:36:54Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005545

resources.

05:36:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005546

And as we mentioned, when it comes to a crisis, the

05:37:02Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005549

reality is, number one,

05:37:04Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005550

we must always say

05:37:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005551

yes to the needs of those who are in the

05:37:08Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005552

midst of the crisis.

05:37:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005553

And number two, without even

05:37:11Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005554

waiting for the people,

05:37:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005555

persons in crisis to ask

05:37:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005556

for the assistance, we must be able to

05:37:17Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005557

come forward ourselves and say,

05:37:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005558

eto po kami, may resources kami,

05:37:21Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005559

at gusto namin ihandog yung mga

05:37:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005560

programa para sa inyo. Classic example,

05:37:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005561

yung financial assistance on the ground.

05:37:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005562

We did not wait

05:37:29Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005563

to ask OFWs

05:37:31Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005564

whether nawalan sila ng working

05:37:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005565

hours or OT

05:37:35Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005566

or what have you. We went ahead.

05:37:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005567

And proactively, because this is

05:37:39Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005568

what the President had

05:37:41Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005569

so asked us to do,

05:37:44Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005570

we distributed the financial

05:37:45Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005571

assistance on the ground.

05:37:47Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005572

And it has been very effective.

05:37:49Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005573

Kaya ang

05:37:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005574

tingin namin, kung

05:37:53Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005575

maiangat sa 3 billion supplemental

05:37:55Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005576

level, yung aming

05:37:57Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005577

2 billion sa NEP,

05:37:58Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005578

it would be good. That is our lens

05:38:01Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005579

because we really don't want

05:38:03Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005580

to get stuck in an overly

05:38:05Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005581

technical NEP to NEP

05:38:06Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005582

discussion.

05:38:09Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005583

And

05:38:10Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005584

the other one is, yung

05:38:13Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005585

components nung aming 2 billion.

05:38:15Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005586

2 billion lang naman ho ang hinihingi namin.

05:38:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005587

The other

05:38:19Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005588

components would

05:38:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005589

each.

05:38:25Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005590

The other components are

05:38:27Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005591

tier 2 components. For instance,

05:38:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005592

as we mentioned

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005645

allocations as determined

05:40:18Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005646

by the DBM. But on the other hand

05:40:20Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005647

perhaps also put our best foot

05:40:22Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005648

forward

05:40:23Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005649

to raise these points, these

05:40:26Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005650

budgetary items that need

05:40:28Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005651

assistance

05:40:30Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005652

on our part. Kasi naman po

05:40:33Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005653

at the end of the day OFWs din

05:40:34Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005654

ang makikinabang dito. So

05:40:36Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005655

we're seeking your help along

05:40:38Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005656

these lines. Sorry to make

05:40:40Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005657

life a little

05:40:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005658

complicated.

05:40:43Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005659

But this is our best

05:40:46Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005660

foot forward Madam Chair and we will

05:40:48Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005661

abide by the decision of the

05:40:50Source

DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac

asr-005662

House on this matter.

05:40:53Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005663

Thank you, Sec Hans.

05:40:54Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005664

Thank you Admin PY.

05:40:55Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005665

For us, Sigur, rather than I agree,

05:40:58Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005666

let's not get tied to the

05:41:00Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005667

NEP to NEP, GAAT to NEP

05:41:02Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005668

discussion.

05:41:04Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005669

Sigur, let's

05:41:05Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005670

shift to a more

05:41:08Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005671

forward-looking

05:41:09Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005672

discussion.

05:41:11Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005673

Discussion. So sigur po

05:41:12Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005674

here I'm seeing

05:41:13Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005675

the accomplishment from January

05:41:16Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005676

to July 2026 and

05:41:18Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005677

ganun nga nagastos yung

05:41:20Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005678

yung dati. Whichever

05:41:22Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005679

was there in the GAAT plus the supplemental

05:41:24Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005680

budget that was given through Uplift.

05:41:27Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005681

Sigur po, ilan pa yung

05:41:28Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005682

projection? Sigur let's base it on

05:41:30Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005683

that. Rather than look at

05:41:32Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005684

historical, let's look at how many

05:41:34Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005685

more OFWs are

05:41:36Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005686

still there or how many

05:41:38Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005687

target beneficiaries we have to

05:41:40Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005688

for the financial assistance

05:41:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005689

rather than looking at historical.

05:41:44Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005690

Kasi given, for example,

05:41:46Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005691

the emergency repatriation program

05:41:48Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005692

or emergency repatriation fund,

05:41:50Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005693

we already have a substantial number

05:41:52Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005694

of OFWs that we've repatriated.

05:41:54Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005695

So hindi na sila

05:41:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005696

counted doon sa

05:41:57Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005697

budget for

05:42:00Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005698

a repatriation

05:42:01Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005699

list of, I guess,

05:42:04Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005700

the repatriation expenses. Hindi na natin

05:42:06Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005701

ika-count yung number na yun. So

05:42:08Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005702

pwede po bang let's shift the discussion?

05:42:10Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005703

to that. Or

05:42:12Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005704

maybe when you submit na lang po

05:42:14Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005705

second-hand admin PY, baka

05:42:16Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005706

pwedeng ganun natin

05:42:18Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005707

tignan. Rather than looking at

05:42:20Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005708

we've spent 1 billion

05:42:22Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005709

for the

05:42:23Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005710

action fund,

05:42:25Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005711

2.951

05:42:29Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005712

billion for

05:42:29Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005713

146, sorry, 145,000 beneficiaries.

05:42:34Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005715

Baka tignan natin ilan pa yung target.

05:42:37Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005716

Yeah. Baka

05:42:38Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005717

doon po natin i-base and then let's

05:42:40Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005718

work together.

05:42:42Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005719

I understand we need to balance

05:42:44Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005720

it, of course, with limited fiscal space.

05:42:46Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005721

But given the crisis at the moment,

05:42:48Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005722

we have to have funds to be able to make sure

05:42:50Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005723

that we take care of our

05:42:52Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005724

OFWs, those who

05:42:54Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005725

chose to stay in the different

05:42:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005726

countries, and those who chose to

05:42:58Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005727

come back home. So

05:42:59Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005728

I'm with you on that. We've had this discussion

05:43:02Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005729

second-hand admin PY

05:43:04Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005730

when we did the first set of

05:43:06Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005731

deliberations for

05:43:09Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005732

Lee,

05:43:15Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005733

ang daming

05:43:16Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005734

acronyms eh. Our version of

05:43:18Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005735

uplift here in the house.

05:43:20Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005736

Lead. Lead.

05:43:22Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005737

Ang daming. When we did our lead

05:43:24Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005738

hearings a few months ago,

05:43:28Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005739

kami naman po

05:43:29Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005740

nila speaker nila

05:43:30Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005741

Majo, we gave our full assurance that we

05:43:32Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005742

will help. So siguro po

05:43:34Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005743

I understand also where DBM

05:43:36Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005744

is coming from. Of course, they had

05:43:38Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005745

to, from

05:43:40Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005746

12 trillion

05:43:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005747

in budget requests.

05:43:43Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005748

From the agencies, they had to trim it down.

05:43:46Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005749

So I understand why they had

05:43:48Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005750

to do that. But siguro po,

05:43:50Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005751

I'd also like to help OWA

05:43:53Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005752

and DMW

05:43:53Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005753

and I want to be able to balance that

05:43:55Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005754

with the limited fiscal space.

05:43:57Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005755

So if I may request po, I know

05:44:00Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005756

second-hand

05:44:02Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005757

admin PY, you'd have to

05:44:03Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005758

go back to the table,

05:44:06Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005759

the drawing board, and compute that

05:44:08Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005760

on how much would be the

05:44:09Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005761

needs based on the target

05:44:11Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005762

number of beneficiaries.

05:44:13Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005763

For 2027,

05:44:16Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005764

siguro po, let's take into consideration

05:44:17Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005765

as well that there is

05:44:20Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005766

remaining funds from

05:44:22Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005767

the uplift

05:44:24Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005768

injection

05:44:26Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005769

of funds. So

05:44:28Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005770

baka po pwede natin i-take into

05:44:30Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005771

consideration na yun. So yung target natin

05:44:32Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005772

for the whole of

05:44:34Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005773

2027, let's see kung may

05:44:36Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005774

matitira pa from 2026. Pakiproject

05:44:38Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005775

na po siguro yun. Plus

05:44:40Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005776

how much you would actually need.

05:44:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005777

for 2027 so agree I agree with you completely second so it's not the one

05:44:47Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005778

up to NEP GA at the NEP situation let's not even look at the proposal during the

05:44:52Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005779

budget call because that happened that was prepared before the crisis started

05:44:57Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005780

so now we're in a completely different field when we look at this so maybe

05:45:05Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005781

let's look at the good in a long let's change the approach let's look at the

05:45:09Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005782

target beneficiaries for both alagang owa for for ERF or ERP the ERP program

05:45:21Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005783

the alagang owa fund and all of the other programs and then let's see how

05:45:26Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005784

much po yung kailangan natin if we if we change the approach to that so

05:45:32Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005785

kasi alam naman po ni Secants yan at this at this point the two the two

05:45:39Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005787

billion to billion separate might be a little bit challenging to put together

05:45:46Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005788

but best effort for info on our part but if we're able to rationalize it and see

05:45:51Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005789

how many we really really need based on the target number of beneficiaries we

05:45:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005790

might be able to work out a better number for further for how we can

05:46:01Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005791

restore it supplement it when we develop the H job so again my full support you

05:46:08Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005792

know that

05:46:09Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005793

po and we also recognize that in light of the current crisis we really have to

05:46:14Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005794

recalibrate the local employee DBM canina before I before I made my

05:46:20Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005795

manifestation no not cut of by non budget called my crisis NASA me without

05:46:25Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005796

up will appa will appa chair so you know like a poet will really have to recalibrate

05:46:31Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005797

so we'll work with you po with Kong ai kung I if you may please coordinate cozy with sechan

05:46:39Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005798

admin py and the the officials of dmw and oa for us to be able to come to a more

05:46:50Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005799

i don't know to come i don't know if it's higher or lower with the new approach so i can't really

05:46:55Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005800

say but uh i guess a more accurate number as to how much we need um coming into 2027

05:47:04Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005801

so that's my manifestation um i just wanted to clarify it again um i i just want to also take

05:47:12Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005802

this opportunity to say thank you to dmw to sec hands to um the oa family um admin py for all the

everything was uncertain you were the first ones on the ground they had your

05:48:37Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005817

boots on the ground um as soon as the conflict started so we

05:48:40Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005818

want to recognize that and we want to reciprocate that and the

05:48:43Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005819

best way that we know how is to give dmw and oa the resources to be able to

ng crisis. And

05:50:20Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005860

sometimes medyo it pains

05:50:22Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005861

to see and some people criticize

05:50:24Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005862

na hindi ito

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005863

parang this is

05:50:28Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-005870
