Thank you, ComSec.

So, distinguished colleagues, honorable members of the committee,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000045

officials of the Presidential Communications Office and its attached agencies and corporations,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000046

our resource persons, and distinguished guests,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000047

magandang hapon po sa ating lahat.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000048

Today's budget hearing gives the committee an opportunity to examine

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000049

how the Presidential Communications Office fulfills one of the government's

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000050

most fundamental responsibilities,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000051

keeping the people accurately, promptly, and meaningfully informed.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000052

Under Executive Order No. 16, Series of 2023,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000053

the PCO serves as the communication arm of the Executive Branch,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000054

responsible for formulating, coordinating, and implementing integrated public information programs

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000055

concerning the policies, programs, and activities of the President and the National Government.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000058

This function is essential to effective governance.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000059

Government programs can serve the public only when citizens understand what assistance is available,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000060

how to access it, why policies are being adopted, and how public institutions may be held accountable.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000061

Clear communication, therefore, connects policy with public service,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000062

supports participation, and helps sustain trust,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000063

between the government and the people.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000064

This responsibility has become even more significant at a time

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000065

when social media is woven into everyday life.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000066

Information now reaches millions within seconds,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000067

but so do misinformation, disinformation, manipulated content, and AI-generated material.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000068

The PCO must be present where people receive and exchange information,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000069

not merely to broadcast official messages,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000070

but to communicate quickly, clearly, credibly, and directly affect the daily lives of the Filipinos.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000071

The total budget of the PCO and its attached agencies and corporations

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000072

was 2.768 billion under the fiscal year 2026 NEP

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000073

and is proposed at 2.621 billion under the fiscal year 2027 NEP.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000076

We look forward to a productive discussion on the PCO's fiscal year 2026 performance

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000077

and on the concrete outputs, safeguards, and measurable results to be delivered under its fiscal year 2027 proposal.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000078

Our objective is to support a communication system that informs rather than confuses, engages rather than excludes,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000079

and strengthens the people's trust in government through truth, clarity, and accountability.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000080

Thank you and good afternoon.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-000081

Secretary Dave Gomez, sir, you may now proceed with your presentation.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000082

Thank you very much and good afternoon, Madam Chair, Honorable Members of the House Committee on Appropriations.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000083

On behalf of the Presidential Communications Office, let me express our gratitude for the gracious invitation today

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000084

and for the very warm welcome to the August halls of the House of Representatives.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000085

It will be my honor, together with the heads and officials of the PCO and our attached agencies,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000086

to present and explain the rationale behind our proposed budget for fiscal year 2027.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000087

But before I proceed, Madam Chair, allow me to simply frame the context of our proposed 2027 appropriations.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000088

The PCO is proposing a budget of 2.62 billion pesos, which is 6.6% lower than our current 2026 budget.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000089

This represents a measly 0.03% of the total 7.2 trillion proposed national budget.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000090

We have the lowest budget and the last department-level agency of the Executive Department in terms of budgetary allocation.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000091

We may have the least in the budget priority, but we assure your honors that the PCO and our attached agencies are up to the Herculean task of engaging and involving the citizenry,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000092

and the mass media in enriching the quality of public discourse on all matters of governance.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000093

Next slide, please.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000094

As I have just mentioned, the PCO family's budget proposal is 2.62 billion pesos, or around 0.03% of the 7.2 trillion national expenditure program for fiscal year 2027.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000095

And it is 6.6% lower.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000096

than the 2026 current level of our budget.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000097

Just very quickly, as per Executive Order No. 16, you will see that the PCO has six attached agencies and three GOCCs that are also attached to the PCO.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000098

They are the Bureau of Broadcast Services, the Bureau of Communication Services, the News and Information Bureau, the Philippine Information Agency, Radio TV Malacanang or RTVM,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000099

IBC 13, PTV 4, APO Press, and the Philippine Information Agency.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000100

We have the EPO, the Program of Production, and the National Printing Office.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000101

Here, the following are the major programs, activities, and projects to be funded by our proposed fiscal year 2027 budget.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000102

As Madam Chair pointed out, the highest in terms of our priorities, the Presidential Communications Program,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000103

is at the core of our mandate to serve as the primary communications arm of the Executive Department,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000104

ensuring that government messages are clear, consistent, and accessible to the Filipino people.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000117

It focuses on the formulation, coordination, and implementation of integrated public information plans and programs that effectively communicate the priorities, policies, and achievements of the President and the Philippine Government.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000118

It not only involves the crafting of messages, but also the careful alignment of communication strategies across all agencies to ensure coherence, clarity in how government policies and programs are conveyed to the public.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000119

In a time when information is fast-moving and often contested, the program ensures that our citizens receive timely, accurate, and relevant information straight from the government.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000120

It is anchored on our sector outcome, which is people-centered, innovative, clean, efficient, effective, and inclusive delivery of public goods and services.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000121

Strategic communications plays a vital role in realizing this outcome.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000122

By delivering clear,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000123

reliable information, we strengthen transparency and accountability in governance, while ensuring that services and programs are better understood and appreciated by the people they are intended to serve.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000124

Communication, therefore, becomes a tool not only for information sharing, but also for enabling citizens to fully benefit from government programs and participate in the democratic process.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000125

In line with this, the organizational outcome that we seek to achieve in public access,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000126

engagement, and participation in the democratic process,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000127

and understanding of presidential policies and government programs.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000128

This means that we are not only ensuring that information reaches the people, but also that it resonates with them and encourages meaningful dialogue.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000129

Through accessible and inclusive communication, we empower citizens to engage in public discourse, to raise their concerns, and to take part in nation-building.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000130

In doing so, the program fosters a deeper appreciation of government initiatives and helps bridge the gap between policy formulation and citizen experience.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000137

To realize these outcomes, we are implementing several concrete activities.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000138

Among this is the freedom of information program, which upholds transparency by granting citizens greater access to government data and information.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000139

We also conduct regular press briefings to provide timely updates and clarifications on the president's directives and government initiatives.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000140

To strengthen information literacy, we have launched the Maging Mapanuri

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000141

program, a series of fact-checking

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000142

workshops designed to combat disinformation

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000143

and promote responsible

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000144

news consumption. We

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000145

likewise provide various communication

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000146

workshops and capability-building activities

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000147

for state media

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000148

and the covering media, enhancing

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000149

their skills in messaging, crisis

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000150

communications, and innovative

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000151

content delivery. The program

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000152

also undertakes the coverage

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000153

of presidential engagements, both

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000154

local and international, ensuring

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000155

that the Filipino people are kept

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000156

informed of the President's

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000157

activities in the country and his

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000158

representation of national interest

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000159

on the global stage.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000160

In addition,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000161

the program supports collaborative projects

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000162

with other government agencies

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000163

such as campaigns with the Department of Energy

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000164

on Energy Conservation

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000165

and Efficiency, which help bring

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000166

national priorities closer to the people.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000167

This interagency effort

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000168

demonstrates our commitment

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000169

to a whole-of-government approach

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000170

to communication, ensuring

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000171

that important programs in

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000172

energy, health, agriculture,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000173

social protection, and other key sectors

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000174

are clearly communicated

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000175

and well understood by the public.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000176

Ultimately, the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000177

Presidential Communications Program

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000178

positions communication as a bridge

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000179

between the government and the people,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000180

a bridge built

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000181

on trust, transparency,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000182

and accountability. It ensures

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000183

that the President's policies and administration's

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000184

development agenda

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000185

are not only heard, but also

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000186

understood, embraced, and supported

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000187

by the citizenry.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000188

Next slide, please.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000189

Next, we present the programs

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000190

of the attached agencies of the PCO.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000191

First, under the PBS

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000192

Bureau of Broadcast Services,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000193

we implement the Public Radio

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000194

Broadcasting Program, which ensures

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000195

nationwide access

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000196

to timely and relevant information

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000197

through radio.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000198

Second, the Bureau of

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000199

Communication Services, or BCS,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000201

We carry out the government communications program which produces print, audiovisual, and digital materials that amplify government policies, projects, and services for public awareness and understanding.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000202

The News and Information Bureau is responsible for providing efficient, effective, productive, and economical services relating to the development and formulation of domestic and foreign information program of the government.

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000204

Fourth, the National Printing Office oversees the National Printing Program which provides high-security printing services for government agencies, ensuring integrity and efficiency in the production of accountable forms and other official documents.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000205

Fifth, the Philippine Information Agency implements the Development Communication Program which brings government information closer to the people through regional and provincial networks,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000206

while

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000207

promoting citizen participation

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000208

and grassroots engagements.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000209

Finally, RTVM,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000210

Radio-Television Malacanang,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000211

manages the presidential

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000212

documentation and broadcast

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000213

management program which provides

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000214

full coverage, achieving

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000215

broadcasting the president's official

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000217

activities and public engagements

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000218

both local and international.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000219

Together, these programs from our

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000220

attached agencies ensure a comprehensive

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000221

multi-platform communication

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000222

system that allows the government

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000223

to effectively reach and engage

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000224

our people.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000225

Next slide, please.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000226

Just simply a slide on the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000227

organizational structure of the PCO,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000228

Madam Chair, Honorable Chair,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000229

Honorable Members. This is a business

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000230

slide, Your Honors, but to simply summarize,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000231

the PCO proper has

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000232

six undersecretaries,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000233

11 assistant secretaries spread

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000272

I am pleased

asr-000273

to report that 84.79%

As of December 31,

2025, more than

87.51%

For fiscal year 2025, the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000285

unobligated allotments and unpaid obligations

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000286

are attributed mainly

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000287

to the intervening factors

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000288

in the implementation of its programs, i.e.,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000289

procurement bottlenecks and the

transition activities conducted

in relation to changes in

top leadership. PCO

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

experienced some financial

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000294

challenges during the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000295

subject fiscal year,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000296

due to procurement delays and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000297

adjustments in priorities

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000298

following the assumption of new

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000299

management in February last

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000300

year and my

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000301

management, my leadership in July

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000302

2025. So we had a couple of

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000303

leadership changes last year that

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000304

accounted for some of the delays

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000305

and bottlenecks. This factor

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000306

significantly impacted the execution of

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000307

planned programs and projects, leading

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000308

to lower than expected budget

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000309

utilization. The transition in leadership

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000310

required a comprehensive

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000311

review of ongoing and planned procurement

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000312

activities to ensure alignment

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000313

with new strategic directions.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000314

This review process contributed to delays

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000315

in procurement timelines for

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000316

several key initiatives since

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000317

contracts and procurement packages

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000318

to confirm their consistency.

indicators under fiscal year 2025.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000324

This achievement

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000325

is largely attributed to the

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000326

strengthened media partnerships

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000327

under the current administration,

fiscal year 2026,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000390

the unobligated allotment were primarily

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000391

attributed to the issuance of

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000392

Memorandum Circular 114

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000393

which directed national

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

rising global oil and energy crisis

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000398

as a result of the Middle East

conflict. In addition,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000400

the ASEAN National Organizing

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000401

Council directed the

asr-000405

platforms whenever feasible.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000406

In compliance with these directives,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000407

the PCO adopted and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000408

strictly enforced internal austerity

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000409

measures in light of the declared

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000410

State of National Energy

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000411

Emergency. These

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000412

measures include limiting official

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000413

travel to essential mission-critical

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000414

activities, suspending

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000415

the conduct of in-house training programs

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000416

outside office premises,

protocols.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000423

As a result of these measures, the PCO

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000424

recorded lower budget utilization

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000425

during the first semester of

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000426

2026, leading to the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000427

accumulation of unobligated

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000428

allotments. The PCO proper

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000429

commits to resolve implementation

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000430

bottlenecks, accelerating procurement

processes, and realigned execution

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000432

strategies to meet the financial

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000433

targets. Hence, identified

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000434

certain action items as

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000435

part of our catch-up plan for the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000436

second semester of 2026

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000439

The Agency has again achieved and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000440

exceeded all its physical targets for

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000441

the first semester of 2026,

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000442

and is on track to achieve

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000443

all its targets for the year.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000444

This was done through strategic

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000445

workforce utilization, streamlined

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000446

workflows, and strong team

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000447

coordination despite structural

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000448

and staffing limitation.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000449

Productivity was maximized

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000450

by developing targeted

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000451

innovations, including communicating

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000452

presidential events in Tagalog,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000453

and strengthening stakeholder partnerships

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000454

with seamless media coverages.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000455

Furthermore, the Office

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000456

produced high-resolution photos of the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000457

President's public engagements, maximizing

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000458

visual clarity and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000459

resonant connection with

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000460

the viewing public. Continuously

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000461

fulfilling these targets demonstrates

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000462

the personnel's commitment,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000463

adaptability, and sustained efforts

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000464

to meet the Office's mandate

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000470

Agency Performance Review Report,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000471

the DBM advised the Agency

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000472

to revisit PCO PROPER's

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000473

physical targets for the past

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000474

three years to establish a more

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000475

systematic, relevant annual

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000476

physical targets in a more

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000477

updated performance evaluation

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000478

framework. These targets

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000479

should strike a balance between being

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000480

sufficiently challenging and reflective

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000481

of the Agency's current performance

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000482

levels, taking into account the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000483

budgetary support provided for its major

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000484

programs and projects, while also

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000485

laying the groundwork for the planned

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000486

updating of the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000487

2027 fiscal

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000488

year indicators.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000489

Similar observations were raised by members

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000490

of the Office during the past budget deliberations,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000491

emphasizing that performance

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000492

commitments should be periodically updated

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000493

to reflect actual accomplishments

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000494

and additional resources

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000495

sought by the Agency.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000496

The PCO recognized the importance

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000497

of periodically revising its

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000498

KPIs to ensure that they

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000499

remain relevant, measurable,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000500

and aligned with its mandate,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000501

strategic priorities, and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000502

evolving operational requirements.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000503

Given that the Office consistently

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000504

exceeded its performance

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000505

targets, a review of existing KPIs

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000506

was conducted from October

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000507

2025 to July

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000508

2026 this year to assess

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000509

whether the current indicators

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000510

and targets continue to accurately

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000511

reflect the scope, complexity,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000512

level of effort required,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000513

and the evolving communications

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000514

and media landscape.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000515

The review revealed that

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000516

certain indicators currently

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000517

reflected in the annual GAA

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000518

continue to emphasize conventional

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000519

measures of communication outputs

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000520

such as utilization of news

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000521

and photo releases by selected

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000522

media organizations.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000523

While this remains relevant,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000524

PCO's operating environment has

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000525

significantly evolved, with digital

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000526

platforms and social media increasingly

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000527

serving as the primary means

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000528

through which government information

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000529

reaches the citizenry

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000530

and public engagement is measured.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000531

Considering the PCO's current

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000532

work, expanded operations, and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000533

strategic role as the government's

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000534

principal communication arm, the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000535

concerned offices agreed that the

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000547

Fourth, continuing dissemination

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000552

Accordingly, the concerned PCO

asr-000553

offices recommended the adoption of

and projects as part of the PCO's

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000612

budgetary thrust for

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000613

2027.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000614

First, a reinforced national government

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000615

strategic communications program

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000616

by maintaining sustained engagements

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000617

including strategic briefings

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000618

with key partners and strengthened

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000619

operational support. The program

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000620

directly aligns government communications

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000621

with core national priorities.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000622

In doing so, it enhances the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000623

government ability to deliver clear,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000624

coherent, and timely messaging to both

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000625

domestic and international audiences.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000626

Ultimately, this approach

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000627

reinforces transparency,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000628

fosters stronger stakeholder relationships,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000629

and fulfills the PCO's mandate

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000630

to effectively communicate

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000631

policies and programs and official

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000632

positions across the executive

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000633

branch, under which

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000634

unified messaging and communication

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000635

themes are adopted for

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000636

impactful communication.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000637

The PCO also supports communications

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000645

as communication tools for accountability,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000646

media literacy, and promotion

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000647

of the Bagong Pilipinas.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000648

Led by the PCO, these caravans target

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000649

universities and communities nationwide

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000650

to combat disinformation,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000651

misinformation, and fake news,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000652

particularly among the youth.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000653

The caravans include media literacy

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000654

forums, media agency exhibits,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000655

and on-site training to empower

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000656

students to discern credible information.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000657

Further, the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000658

NGSC Command Center is driven

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000659

by the goal of enhancing government efficiency,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000660

disaster resilience,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000661

and rapid emergency response.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000662

Second, this

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000663

intensified media and information

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000664

literacy program. This program strengthens

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000665

the public capacity to

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000666

critically assess, analyze, and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000667

produce information for an increasingly

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000668

complex media environment.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000669

Through targeted trainings, workshops,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000670

and national engagements, including

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000671

capacity building for educators,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000672

journalists, and non-government communicators,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000673

the initiative aims to combat

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000674

misinformation, disinformation,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000675

and promote responsible media

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000676

consumption and rebuild public

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000677

trust.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000678

Third is the multisectoral campaign

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000679

to fight fake news.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000680

This initiative aims

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000681

to protect the public from disinformation,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000682

misinformation, by maintaining

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000683

the credibility and integrity of

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000684

information, stopping the proliferation

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000685

of fake news, and strengthening

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000686

the role of mass media as

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000687

a trusted institution in the face

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000688

of growing power of social

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000689

media. By empowering

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000690

the public to discern facts from

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000691

falsehoods, truths,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000692

from lies, and holding peddlers of

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000693

fake news accountable, the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000694

PCO's op-land contra-fake

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000695

news strengthens freedom of

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000696

speech and the public's right to

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000697

information. This program

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000698

includes the creation of an

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000699

anti-fake news desk in the PCO,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000700

a dedicated mechanism where

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000701

its partners and the public

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000702

can report suspicious or misleading

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000703

contents. Reports will be

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000704

promptly evaluated and referred

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000705

to the appropriate agencies, including

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000706

the Department of Information and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000707

Communications Technology,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000708

and the Department of Justice for proper

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000709

action. It also integrates emerging

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000710

themes such as artificial intelligence,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000711

science, communications,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000712

cyber, and ego

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000713

preparedness

to ensure that stakeholders are equipped

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000715

to navigate the evolving information

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000716

ecosystem.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000717

The fourth is digital transformation

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000718

and technology updates.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000719

By modernizing its communication infrastructure

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000720

and upgrading its digital platforms,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000721

websites, and social media,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000722

the PCO can leverage

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000723

cutting-edge technologies to expand

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000724

government's digital reach and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000725

presence across a broader audience.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000726

Coupled with targeted

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000727

investments in data analytics,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000728

social listening tools, and audience

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000729

reach, these technologies

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000730

enhance and empower the PCO

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000731

to gain deep, real-time

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000732

insights into public sentiment

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000733

and evolving preferences.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000734

The fifth is the establishment

and operationalization

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000736

of the Bagong Pilipinas

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000738

expands government media production

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000739

capabilities in the Visayas by

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000740

investing in critical infrastructure

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000741

such as secure server systems

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000742

and establishing additional dedicated

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000743

studio spaces

asr-000744

to enable localized, high-quality

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000745

content creation.

energy efficiency and conservation

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000748

project. The

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000762

resilience and environment sustainability

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000763

goals. Next slide, please.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000764

This slide shows

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000765

the four major pillars

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000766

of the PCO's strategic

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000767

directions for fiscal

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000768

year 2027.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000769

Our first major pillar

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000770

is increased organizational

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000771

agility. We want to

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000772

strengthen organizational agility

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000773

by simplifying

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000774

processes, eliminating

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000775

non-value-adding bureaucracy,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000776

and improving operational efficiency

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000777

through process mapping,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000778

appropriate delegation of authority,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000779

employee empowerment,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000780

and digital automation.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000781

Institutionalize

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000782

purposeful meetings with clear

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000783

objectives, relevant participation,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000784

and defined outputs with disciplined

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000785

execution. Our second

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000786

pillar is a data-driven

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000787

decision-making process.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000788

We aim to

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000789

promote data-driven decision-making

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000790

by ensuring that policies,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000791

programs, and communication strategies

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000792

are informed by research,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000793

verified data, audience

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000794

insights, and performance

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000795

analytics. Strengthen the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000796

department's capability to detect,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000797

monitor, and respond to

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000798

misinformation through both

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000799

manual and AI-assisted

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000800

monitoring mechanism.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000801

Third is high accountability.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000802

We envision to foster

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000803

a culture of accountability

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000804

by establishing clear ownership

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000805

of priorities, measurable targets,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000806

and well-defined performance

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000807

indicators. Cascade

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000808

departmental goals into office,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000809

division, and individual performance scorecards

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000810

with performance assessed

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000811

objectively based on measurable

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000812

results and outcomes.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000813

And finally, to develop a

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000814

future-ready PCO workforce.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000815

We intend to develop

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000816

a future-ready workforce by

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000817

strengthening collaboration, enhancing

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000818

digital competencies, and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000819

promoting continuous learning and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000820

professional development. Encourage

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000821

cross-functional teamwork, individual

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000822

ownership of capability development,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000823

and a merit-based

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000824

system that encourages

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000825

measurable contributions and performance.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000826

Our

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000827

four pillars

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000828

are supported by

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000829

six mainstreams that

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000830

will drive the accomplishment of our goals.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000831

And these are the efficient planning

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000832

and execution of presidential events,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000833

enhanced media coverage and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000834

information dissemination,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000835

strength and transparency and accountability,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000836

promotion of government programs and

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000837

policies, effective diplomatic

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000838

engagement in international representation,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000839

and finally,

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000840

revitalization of state-owned

asr-000841

media networks.

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000858

to 2.48

Secretary David M. Gomez

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000860

2.64 percent lower

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000861

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-000868

its mandates effectively and

2027 proposal

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

submitted to the DBM early

this year. The decrease

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001027

of around 187

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001028

million was due to the net effect

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001029

of the increase in personal

services due to the

asr-001038

and the decrease in the maintenance and other operating expenses and capital outlay of P235 million and P223 million respectively

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001039

since the DBM did not consider the inclusion in the fiscal year 2027 NEP of Tier 2 projects that we propose

which are mostly ongoing PAP funded under fiscal year 2026.

asr-001048

provisions for salaries of 17 non-permanent positions, terminal leave benefits, provision for loyalty award and anniversary bonus of the milestone year of the PCO in 2027.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001051

our core operations under the Presidential Communications Program,

98% of the total amount reflected in the PCO proposed budget pertains to agency-specific appropriations,

directly intended for our operational expenses, and the implementation of core programs and various programs.

Madam Chair, with your permission,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001121

maraming salamat po kung

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001122

kung it's really a very,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001123

very good question that provides me

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001124

the opportunity to...

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001125

to clarify your points.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001126

Well, for the PCO proper,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001127

yes, we experienced a reduction

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001128

in our fiscal year 2027 budget

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001129

simply because our budget this year

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001130

was a bit higher

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001131

because of the hosting of the ASEAN.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001132

So naturally, by 2027,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001133

we really expected the budget

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001134

to be reduced.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001135

Now, as for the PIA po,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001136

and my colleagues from the PIA are here

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001137

and they are ready to further expound

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001138

on my response.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001139

Yung building po kasi natin ng PIA dito,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001140

yung kapitbahin na sa may Visayas Avenue,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001141

is already 44-year-old po

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001142

and it's talagang...

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001143

it's in a very bad and sad state

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001144

that the building really requires retrofitting.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001145

So most significant part of the increase

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001146

in the PIA budget

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001147

really will go to capital outlay

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001148

for the proposed retrofitting

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001149

of the PIA building po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001150

Bakit naman po na-slash yung

Bureau of Broadcast Services,

NIB,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001154

RTVM,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001155

and then I noticed also that

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001156

IBC 13, wala pong nakalagay.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001157

Oo nga po,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001158

medyo nakakalungkot nga po na

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001159

paglabas po ng aming NEP sa DBMA,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001160

na zero po yung budget ng IBC 13.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001161

Kung maasa po kami

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001162

at we pray that this committee

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001163

would restore at least

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001164

yung hinihingi po namin

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001165

from our original NEP.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001166

Ang dahilan pong binigay sa amin

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001167

kasi daw naka-plano na

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001168

at nakaprograma na yung privatization

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001169

ng IBC 13,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001170

which we are actually in the process

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001171

of fulfilling that mandate.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001172

In fact, next week ho,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001173

I'll be meeting with the GCG

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001174

to finalize the privatization plan

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001175

for IBC 13.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001176

Unfortunately,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001177

marami pa pong work streams

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001178

yung required before we can privatize.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001179

We're waiting for the privatization plan

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001180

of the station itself.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001181

We're asking the DBP

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001182

to set a valuation

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001183

for the bidding price

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001184

of the station.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001185

And third,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001186

for the GCG

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001187

to set the timing

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001188

table, the calendar

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001189

for the public bidding.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001190

Parang tingin ko po,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001191

mahihirapang mangyari yun

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001192

bago matapos ang taon.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001193

So kung zero po ang budget

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001194

ng IBC 13,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001195

ikawawan naman po yung ating mga empleyado

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001196

pagdating na January 1st.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001197

Kung mawala na po tayong

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001198

mapapasweldo sa kanila

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001199

at hindi na po natin

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001200

mapapatakbo yung stasyon.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001201

Paano pong gagawin natin

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001202

pagka nangyari yun

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001203

at hindi pa natin

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001204

nabibenta by that time?

Kawawa na po sila.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001553

Yes, yes.

So,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001555

if we are

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001556

selling IBC 13,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001557

all the

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001558

responsibilities

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001559

and yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001560

mandate po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001561

ng IBC

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001562

will

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001563

be

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001588

transferred to PTV4.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001589

Well, oo po. We still have one state television, state television left, which is PTV4. In fact, bukod din po doon, under, I just forget the RA now, the proceeds of the privatization of IBC 13 will accrue to PTV4.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001590

So, magkano po yung budget ng PTV4 currently?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001591

uh your honor may i refer you to the general manager of ptb4

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001592

magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat ako po si lino cayetano gm po ng ptv ptvni wala pong tatlong

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001593

buwan sa trabaho um uh madam chair ang ptvni po ay nakakuha ng 136 million na budget for the year

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001594

um i can talk about the details po pero

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001595

at 136 million i think that is uh by far in no way competitive with channel 2 channel 7 channel 5

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001596

where a state broadcaster should be so it's a measly 138 million what would be the ideal

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001597

budget for you to be able to deliver on your mandate uh sa experience ko po sa industriya

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001598

it was there for two decades i think to be competitive which we want uh the state broadcaster

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001599

to be we want people to watch uh what we're broadcasting we want people to understand

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001600

ang tawag nila diyan yung developmental communication na yung mga programa natin

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001601

maintindihan at makatulong dun sa pamumuhay nila that means we need to be competitive with

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001602

channel 7, channel 5, channel 2. That is anywhere from 5 to 7 billion. We are asking, ang nadatnan ko po ay humingi ang aking predecessor ng 1.7 billion.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001608

So ang hinihingi lang namin ngayon ay ma-restore

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001609

yun. And

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001610

siguro po if you allow me,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001611

the PTVNI po is

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001612

quite different from anyone

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001613

here in the PCO family.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001614

Dahil attached agency lang po kami.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001615

Hindi kami directly under the PCO.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001616

Ang creation

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001617

ho namin ay by virtue of

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001618

Congress. Ang Congress ho ang gumawa

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001619

sa amin. Ang nagsasabi ho

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001620

ng trabaho namin ay

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001621

ang charter na gumawa sa PTVNI.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001622

Iisa lang ho ang state

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001623

broadcaster. Kami lang po.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001624

At ang utos ho sa amin

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001625

ay to disseminate

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001626

information to help

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001627

the people become closer to government.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001628

At particular pa nga sa

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001629

charter na yun ay to help in

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001630

participatory governance

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001631

and to help in effective communication

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001632

dissemination and

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001633

the word developmental

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001634

communication. So I think yun lang ho.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001635

Para ho kami

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001636

PhilHealth at DOH.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001637

Para ho PNP at DILG.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001638

PTVNI is quite unique

asr-001649

perspektibo lang at yung

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001650

138 million, it will be

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001651

very very hard for us. And I think it will be a

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001652

disservice to the Filipino people

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001653

to allow that budget to pass through

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001654

with all due respect po.

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001655

GM, just a follow-up

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001656

question. With regards to your

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001657

reach, ganong ka-wide po yung reach ninyo?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001658

In terms of your equipment

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001659

and compared to IBC 13,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001660

kamusta po yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001661

my time

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

Rep. Roberto Nazal

the one answering.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001664

Okay, okay, alright.

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001670

from BH party list.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001671

Ano ho, I have some

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001672

data here.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001673

More or less po ngayon,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001674

marami hong gamit na sira ang PTV,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001675

pero we are at around 30% of households

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001676

in the Philippines. If

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001677

we fix our equipment, and that is the one

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001678

in the 1.7 budget that we're requesting,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001679

we should hit around 42%,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001680

plus we're looking at three more towers

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001681

that will allow us over 50%.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001682

50% of

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001683

Filipino with households is a

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001684

significant number. Pero ang

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001685

broadcast ho, ngayon ho, sa mundo

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001686

ng public broadcast, hindi na ho

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001687

public service broadcast ang tawag,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001688

public service

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001689

media. So the BBC

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001690

and the other agencies which I met

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001691

two weeks ago, yung BBC po,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001692

public service media na ang tawag.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001693

Kasi ang tinatayuan natin ngayon, hindi

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001694

lang dapat antena. As you know po,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001695

BH has a very strong

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001696

social media presence. Nakikita ko po

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001697

yung pagbayad ng buwis, pinapaliwanag

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001698

nyo sa page nyo. Yung

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001699

anong gagawin pagsiningil ka sa ospital,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001700

pinapaliwanag nyo sa page nyo.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001701

Yan ho yung mga bagay na dapat

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001702

ginagawa ng isang public broadcaster.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001703

And yun nga po,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001704

ngayon po, ang sinasandala namin ay

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001705

hindi lang yung reach. Kung hindi,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001706

we want to expand our social media

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001707

presence. To digital. Opo.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001708

Huling-huling kwento po, nasa Batanes po ako.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001709

Sabi ko kay Gov, paano kayo

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001710

nakakuha ng informasyon dito? Eh wala

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001711

kaming antena. Sabi nila, walang problema.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001712

Facebook, YouTube.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001713

Sabi ko sa engineer ko, ano,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001714

gastos tayong 75 million, patayo tayong

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001715

tower sa Batanes.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001716

Sabi niya, sir, babagyuhin lang. Gastos

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001717

nila lang natin yung 75 million sa paggawa

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001718

ng content na mapapanood ng mga kababayan

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001719

natin sa Batanes. So yun ho,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001720

mas broad na ho ngayon yung perspective.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001721

ng public service communications.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001722

And this is what I want to reiterate

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001723

also, Mr. Secretary,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001724

Madam Chair.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001725

And thank you for that, GM. Kasi nga,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001726

madami pong magandang programa

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001727

yung gobyerno, katulad nung

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001728

YACAP. Pero kami,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001729

pag umiikot kami, ang dami

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001730

pong walang alam. Hindi po nila alam kung ano

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001731

yung mga programa na yan. Another

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001732

example is yung P3 program

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001733

para sa mga MSMEs.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001734

Wala pong may alam.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001735

Maganda yung

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001736

programa. Pwedeng umutang yung

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001737

MSME. Pero

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001738

ang problema nga, wala rin

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001739

may alam. So I

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001740

am for improving

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001741

on your communication. Napaka

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001742

importante po yan. So

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001743

dapat po maibaba natin ng mabuting

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001744

mga programa ng gobyerno. Pero

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001745

we can only do that through proper

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-001746

communication.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001747

So my next question,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001748

do I still have time? One more?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001749

Only 30 seconds. Few seconds?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001750

A few seconds.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001751

Sige. Why has the

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001752

director for communication service

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001753

position remained unfilled up

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001754

to now? And

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001755

what are the critical positions that remain

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001756

vacant? What is

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001757

preventing the filling up of

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001758

itong mga position na ito?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001759

Director for communication

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001760

service.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001761

Yes. Thank you for the question, Your

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001762

Honor. Saka News and Information

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001763

Bureau daw. Correct. Correct.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001764

Meron po tayong ano eh. Some

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001765

of the unfilled key

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001766

positions that you mentioned,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001767

the nominations for

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001768

the appointments there are already

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001769

in process. While some of the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001770

positions are

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001771

subject of the current optimization

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001772

plan of the PCO

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001773

which we have submitted to the DBM.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001774

So with those

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001775

concerns, Mr. Congressman,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001776

Your Honor, are currently

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001777

being addressed. So siguro po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001778

in closing, I just want to share

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001779

that the PCO should not

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001780

only focus on presidential

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001781

communications and media coverage

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001782

but also on effectively

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001783

tulad po ng sinabi ni

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001784

GM Lino,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001785

communicating government programs

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001786

that directly benefit the people.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001787

Programs like yung as I mentioned,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001788

yung YACAP, yung P3 program,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001789

ng DTI,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001790

and other initiatives

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001791

na dapat po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001792

mapaliwanag na mabuti sa ating mga

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001793

mamamayan. Kasi po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001794

dapat alam nila whom to

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001795

approach, how to avail themselves,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001796

and where to go. Stronger

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001797

and more targeted information dissemination

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001798

is necessary to ensure

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001799

that the people who need these

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001800

services actually know about them

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001801

and can be accessed on time.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001802

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-001803

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001807

Ang ganda po ng suggestion ni

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001808

Kong, Your Honor,

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001809

Kong Nazal. But

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001810

through the unified communications,

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001811

ang PCOO, as a

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001812

communications arm,

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001813

nami-meeting din ho namin, nakakausap

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001814

din namin ang mga bawat agencies,

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001815

the department agencies, in order

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001816

for the presidential's

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001819

the programs and projects of the

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001820

different agencies. That's

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001821

why we also utilize the

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001822

services of the Integrated State Media,

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001823

the ISM, like for example

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001824

the PIA. Minsan ho, yung

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001825

mga tao sa kanayunan, particularly

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001826

in Visayas and Mindanao, hindi nila

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001827

maintindihan yun ho mga Tagalog.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001828

So we use talaga yung mga

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001829

vernacular languages

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001830

po na ginagamit doon sa

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001833

office. But

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001834

we continue doing that. Tama po

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001835

si Kong. Kailangan ibababa po

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001836

ng mas bababa ang mga

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001837

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-001838

ng ating pong pamahalaan.

And despite, it

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001855

only goes to show

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001856

that despite you have

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001857

less than 1 %

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001858

of the 1 .7

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001859

trillion of national

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001860

budget, with a huge

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001870

the unmodified findings of

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001871

COA. Kahit na maliit

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001872

yung budget. Ibig sabihin,

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001873

ginagawa, ginagampanan nyo

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001874

yung tungkulin nyo ng

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001877

you presented, medyo na

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001878

sad talaga marami

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001879

dito sa Kongreso. Dahil

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001880

napansin namin yung IBC

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001881

13, zero yung budget.

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001882

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001883

actually, yung Congress

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001884

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001885

helpful. Especially Especially sa

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001886

amin dito sa Kongreso

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001887

because this is an

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001888

avenue for us

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001889

to show or to

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001890

showcase that congressmen are

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001891

not just sitting down.

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001892

Kung baga sa

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001893

pamamagitan ng programang yun

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001894

na ipapakita yung mga

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001944

nung nakita namin yung NEP na pinadala.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001945

Zero nga po yung budget ng

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001946

IBC 13. Ang una -una ko pong

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001947

naramdaman talaga eh, nag -alala ko

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001948

para sa ating mga kasama sa estasyon

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001949

na mawawala ng hanap buhay kung sakaling

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001951

hindi namin matapos yung privatization ng IBC

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001952

13. Pangalawa po, isa po ako

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001953

sa naniniwala sa laki ng tulong at

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001954

responsibilidad ng Congress TV. Madam Chair, if

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001955

you just give me permission, back

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001956

in my old life, wearing the journalist

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001957

hat, Back in the day when

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001958

I was with the Philippine Star covering

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001959

Congress, we were the ones who pioneered

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001960

Congress Forum po. When I was

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001961

an official of the Congressional Press Corps,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001962

we were the ones in I

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001963

think 1989 or 1991 who conceptualized Congress

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001964

Forum. We were block timers in PTV4.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001965

And even that early on, I

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001966

believe on the need to communicate what

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001967

Congress is doing from the national

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001968

level down to the grassroots level. So

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001969

noon pa lang po, talagang believer na

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001970

po ako on the need to

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001971

have a program such as Congress Forum

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001972

and now Congress TV. It has

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001973

expanded in terms of its programming, in

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001974

terms of its reach, but it still

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001975

pretty much does the same, has

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001976

the same goal and objective. Doon po

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001977

sa tanong nila sa anong mangyayari

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001978

sa mga programa, anong mangyayari sa mga

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001979

empleyado, yun po yung aming pagpupulungan po

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001980

with the GCG. next week po.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001981

Kasi isa nga po sa nire -require

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001982

nila is the privatization plan from

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001983

the station itself, what they plan to

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001984

do and that's what we will take

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001985

a look at and siguro po

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001986

if you will allow me, maybe after

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001987

meron na po kaming final agreed

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001988

privatization plan and program, we can share

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001989

it with the Honorable Committee. Ang akin

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001990

lang po, ang baseline ko dyan,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001991

I told my my team, is to

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001992

look at how we privatized RPN

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001993

-9 in the past. Similarly, a sequestered

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001994

company, which government privatized, and I told

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001995

them that we don't need to

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001996

start from scratch. Let's use that as

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001997

the baseline in preparing our privatization

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-001998

plan, this time for IBC -13 po.

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-001999

So, Secretary, Madam Chair, Secretary Dave, so hindi pa definite if kung sakali ma -privatize ang IBC -13,

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002000

hindi pa -definite kung ma -absorb yung mga programs that started by IBC 13 by PTB 4?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002001

Your Honors, if you will...

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002002

Is that a remote possibility?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002003

Mahirap pong sabihin kasi hindi ko rin po alam yung guidelines na ibababa

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002004

ng GCG in terms of the bidding process. Baka po kasi yung

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002005

bidding may be lock, stock, and barrel. So from employees' assets to the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002006

programming may be absorbed by the third -party new buyer. So, mahirap

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002007

pong sabihin at this point until ma -finalize po namin yung guidelines po.

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002008

But Secretary Dave, ang gusto ko lang itawid, actually masakit

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002009

din sa amin dito sa Kongreso, kung mawala man yung IBC

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002010

13, lalo yung programa sa Congress TV, gusto lang namin

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002011

masigurado na hindi mapapabayaan ng mga empleyado at yung mga

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002012

programang pinagsimula nila na maganda naman at tunay nakakatawid. Kasi importante

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002013

eh, kahit na may rungkang TV station, kung di mo

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002014

naman na itatawid yung programa para sa taong bayan, wala

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002015

rin kwenta. So gusto ko lang, okay naman, mabigat yung trabaho

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002016

ninyo talaga, pero wala namang pinaka -efektibo na programa o

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002017

komunikasyon kung di yung nauunawaan at na itatawid mo, Hindi lang

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002018

sa iilan, kundi sa mas maraming tao na dapat maunawaan

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002019

at maintindihan ang mga programa at trabaho ng ating pamahalaan

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002020

para sa taong bayan. So, with that, Madam Chair, I would

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002021

just like to manifest and strongly urge that I hope

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002022

that the Committee on Appropriation to at least give a

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002023

transitory budget for IBC 13 in order for them, before, there

Source

Rep. Ma. Victoria Co-Pilar

asr-002024

will be truly a privatization of the said IBC 13.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002025

Thank you very much, Your Honor. Thank you very much. And from

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002026

the PCO and from myself personally, I can assure you that the number

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002027

one concern to me is the people, our employees of IBC 13

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002028

if they will not be absorbed by whoever management will take over, we

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002029

will definitely find ways to take care and look after their welfare.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002030

And secondly my personal assurance, Your Honor my personal assurance that if and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002031

when that happens Congress TV will move to PTV4.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002032

Thank you, Representative Victoria, Vice Chair. Sorry, Representative Victoria.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002033

So next, we now recognize Representative Brian Llamanzariz.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002034

Maraming salamat po, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002035

First, I'd like to thank our Secretary and

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002036

the whole family here because of their work, a lot of the things that we do here in Congress gets noticed by the nation.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002037

Kaya nagpapasalamat po ako.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002038

And on that note, there are certain things that I want to point out regarding the budget.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002039

First is regarding IBC -13's budget.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002040

Tama po ba yung binabasa ko dito?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002041

From 122 million pesos in the 2026 current program, it's now at zero pesos for 2027, correct po?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002043

That's correct, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002042

Okay. So that's a 100% decrease in IBC-13's budget, tama?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002044

Which is baffling to me because I feel that IBC 13 has been a critical partner in improving the trust and approval of government, especially of Congress.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002045

I believe that recently, the surveys have shown that Congress's numbers

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002046

have gone up in terms of trust and approval

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002047

because there are many programs now in government that show the hard work of congressmen.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002048

Tama po ba, Secretary?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002049

I completely agree, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002050

So, if that's the case, then why are we removing budget for a program that's working?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002051

If not, we should be increasing the budget.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002052

Madam Chair, just to give context to the committee,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002053

because we should be benchmarking across ASEAN to see what our neighbors are spending.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002054

Madam Chair, do you know how much Indonesia is spending

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002055

for their state media? For Televisi Republic Indonesia, it's roughly 4 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002056

For Radio Republic Indonesia, it's 3 .4 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002057

Here, we're only talking about hundreds of millions of pesos for our state media,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002058

and we can't even give it to them, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002059

Which is why I wanted to point this glaring decrease in the budget of our communications.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002060

The other thing I wanted to point out is that there was a request,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002061

Although I don't think it was granted,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002062

that the IBC budget be an additional 479 million for personnel, MOE, and even Kong TV programs.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002063

Is this correct, Mr. Secretary?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002064

I believe so, Your Honor, yes.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002065

Why do we need money for personnel and maintenance and operations?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002066

Can you talk about that a little bit?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002067

Thank you very much.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002068

As I was discussing earlier,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002069

we were really the first to be surprised when we saw the NEP

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002070

and our proposed budget for IBC 13 reduced to zero.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002071

And if I may just repeat what I said earlier,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002072

when we inquired, the premise was because the station was up for privatization.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002073

And as I was explaining earlier, with the few months remaining for the year,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002074

it may be unlikely that we may be able to conclude

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002075

the privatization by December 31st this year.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002076

And with zero budget, what does that leave us in terms of salaries of our people,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002077

the upkeep of the station?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002078

So we're really appealing to the committee if we can restore a certain amount of the budget

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002079

originally requested by the station with the Department of Budget and Management.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002080

The figure that you mentioned, 460 plus, I believe is really to cover for that

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002081

amount that was cut.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002082

But I'd like to also, with your permission,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002083

recognize the president of IBC 13 who can better explain what that 460 plus,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002084

which I believe he communicated already to the committee in a form of a request.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002085

Thank you, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002086

Thank you.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002087

With your respect, Secretary Dave, Madam Chairperson, honorable members of the committee,

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002088

we submitted the budget earlier around 660,

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002089

but based on the representation we made, we had to reduce and set aside our CAPEX.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002090

We only, we had to maintain 131 million for personal services,

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002091

MOE of 223. It's

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002092

quite big, Your Honor, because we are maintaining 11 stations,

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002093

we are maintaining 23 programs.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002094

15 and then one radio station, Your Honor.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002095

And likewise, we have to answer in court a 50 million arbitration award

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002096

given to the retired employees that they submitted to arbitration.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002097

So instead of paying more than 100 million, they agreed to around 49 million or rounded to 50 million.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002098

For Congress TV, we have to allocate it also.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002099

Otherwise, we have been doing a lot of service to Congress, likewise to the government,

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002100

and Congress TV is only one of the programs that we are supporting.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002101

Together with the Senate, together with the e -government, e -gov that we maintain,

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002102

and other government -related programs, around 23 of them,

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002103

all station -produced programs, Your Honor.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-002104

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002105

Madam Chair, I want to point out that IBC 13 has managed its fiscal responsibilities well.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002106

and has been able to take care of its employees.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002107

I don't understand why we're removing budget from one of the working government offices that's

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002108

able to manage their funds properly and take care of their employees.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002109

We should be supporting this and financing it fully, if you ask me. They're

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002110

handling their budget better than most.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002111

But, Madam Chair, there's

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002112

so many problems here. Let's

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002113

look at another one.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002114

For PIA, or the Philippine Information Agency, I believe,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002115

There is a request for an additional 20 million pesos for rent.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002116

I believe there was budget given to rehabilitate their old building,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002117

but the DBM forgot to give them budget to rent a new office.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002118

So where would all of our government employees go

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002119

if we don't give them this budget?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002120

Can someone tell me a bit more about the situation here?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002121

Thank you, Your Honor.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002122

I can confirm that, Your Honor.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002123

The BM approved the request of the PIA for a budget for the retrofitting of their building,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002124

a 44 -year -old building that's really in a very sad state at the moment.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002125

We finally got the budget for retrofitting.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002126

Unfortunately, the 20 million budget that the agency is asking for rent was not included.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002127

So,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002128

of course, when construction starts

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002129

and they have no place to go,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002130

I mean,

Source

We really need that money to look for office spaces

to accommodate our staff from the PIA

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002137

I will not allow our PIA staff to go homeless.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002138

And I'm sure this was just an oversight on the part of the DBM

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002139

because the intention to secure better facilities for the PIA is there. It's

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002140

just that they didn't notice that the MOE budget was lacking 20 million pesos just for rent.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002141

And I think this is an easy fix for us this appropriation season.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002142

Although I do want to weigh retrofitting versus just having a new building altogether.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002143

Retrofitting a 40 plus year old building doesn't

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002146

sound very sound.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002147

And I've seen the pictures and documentation.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002148

Tama, this is the building that has bats in it, no?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002149

They have a bat cave, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002150

An actual bat cave?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002151

Bat cave.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002152

Do we have any pictures of that, Mr. Secretary? I'm

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002153

sure members of this committee don't believe how bad the condition is of the PIA.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002154

If I may ask representatives of the PIA to be recognized, Your Honor.

Hi, good afternoon. Good afternoon, Kong.

Source

PIA Assistant Director-General for External Affairs Kristine Venet Q. Andal

asr-002158

Yes, we have photos po sa presentation as well as videos na meron talaga mga bats po doon sa building.

Source

PIA Assistant Director-General for External Affairs Kristine Venet Q. Andal

asr-002159

And first thing po na ginawa ko nung umupo ko sa PIA, nag -letter kami with DENR.

Source

PIA Assistant Director-General for External Affairs Kristine Venet Q. Andal

asr-002160

Tinutulungan kami ng DENR ngayon na mapaalis yung mga bats.

Source

PIA Assistant Director-General for External Affairs Kristine Venet Q. Andal

asr-002161

And kung hindi pa rin mapaalis, manual na po talaga nilang kukunin yung bats

pag nag -start na po yung rehab ng building,

asr-002163

Kong. Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002164

to see this is exactly why we need to fix this,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002165

either one of two things are gonna happen here,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002166

either magkaroon tayo ng Batman or ng COVID ulit

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002167

kaya ayusin natin yan

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002168

so the other thing that I wanted to point out is that we have a new GM for PTV4

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002169

and a visionary at that who comes from the industry

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002170

and the problem is, we bring in a new GM with a new task of revolutionizing PTV4

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002171

and then we tell Tell him, by the way, there's no budget.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002172

How does that work?

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002173

If I may ask, GM, you've, in your own private capacity, you've been meeting with industry leaders,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002174

not just in the Philippines, but around the world.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002175

What do they think about the current condition of PTV4?

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002176

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002177

Una -una, thank you. I'm

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002178

among some of the best communicators in Congress. Congress. I've

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002179

worked with

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002180

Kong Brian in the private sector

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002181

and he's known around the communication circles as well.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002182

So this is exactly the space where I think he's been thriving

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002183

so he understands.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002184

Just a week ago, I met with the Asia -Pacific head of BBC Studios

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002185

and basically with all our budget, we can probably buy one show or collaborate with one show.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002186

So we cannot build the network with a 138 million budget.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002187

But for perspective also,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002188

you were correct to compare us to our ASEAN neighbors. Di bali na yung

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002189

BBC, di bali na yung NHK, but even Cambodia, even our neighbors spend billions in pesos

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002190

for their state broadcasting system, their communication portals.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002191

For perspective also po, ang

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002192

private sector po, gagastos yan anywhere from 6 to 10 % of our budget.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002193

And my heart aches

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002194

when I hear my secretary say that the PCO budget is

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002195

0 .06.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002196

So ito ho yung nabanggit kanina.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002197

ng mga kasamaan natin

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002198

na nagpasa ang kongreso

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002199

ng magagandang batas.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002200

Tapos nun hindi natin mapaliwanag.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002201

So ito yung developmental communication.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002202

Developmental communication po

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002203

is applied all over the world.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002204

It was actually invented

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002205

by a professor in UP Los Baños

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002206

in 1971.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002207

Ang developmental communication po,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002208

hindi po to PR,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002209

hindi po to propaganda.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002210

It is communicating with the public

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002211

so it can help transform their lives.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002212

Dahil naiintindihan nila

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002213

yung zero balance billing,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002214

alam nila na pwede silang

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002215

pumuntang ospital,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002216

hindi sila mamamatay sa mga bahay nila

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002217

dahil takot sila na mabaon sa utang.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002218

So, I think it is important

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002219

not just for PTV,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002220

but to look at the whole ecosystem.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002221

I know every department has a budget.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002222

So, hindi naman siguro 0 .06 lang

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002223

ang communications budget

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002224

ng buong birokrasya.

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002225

But when we're passing a budget this big,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002226

and alam ng Congress

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002227

na napakarami nating pinapasang

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002228

mga gandang batas,

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002229

Pero hindi natin mapaliwanag

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002230

ng mabuti sa mga kababayan natin

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002231

And we're against private interests

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002232

Sometimes external forces

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002233

Who are trying to sabotage

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002234

sometimes what we want to communicate

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002235

with the Filipino people

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002236

And I'm not talking politics I'm

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002237

talking development

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002238

People who want to go to school safely

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002239

Who want to be treated well

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002240

So I think I urge

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002241

and I plea with Congress

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002242

To also revisit

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002243

the whole communications ecosystem

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002244

At kung pagbibigyan nyo rin ho

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002245

ay tingnan muli

Source

PTV General Manager Lino S. Cayetano

asr-002246

Your Honor,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

tama po yung frame ni GM Lino doon,

pero just for the record, it's

asr-002255

0 .03 percent po,

hindi po 0 .6.

especially at this point in time

in our government

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002276

and in this administration,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

the people need

inspiring stories from government.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002279

People need hope.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002280

And our government media

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002281

is trying its best

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002282

with a limited budget to do that,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002283

to give stories of the unsung heroes of government.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002284

And yet, we're

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002285

taking away budget from them.

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002286

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002287

I feel that we should be

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002288

giving them more budget

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

asr-002289

and more support

Source

Rep. Brian Poe

so that we have a more balanced media

Rep. Brian Poe

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002338

of your budget

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002339

is expected.

question,

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002450

Your Honor, is really,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002451

if I may go

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002452

back to the four priority

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002453

pillars

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002454

of our administration,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002455

and

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002456

the answer to that

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002457

would be the first

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002458

priority

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002459

of ours is to provide

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002460

organizational

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002461

agility.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002462

As

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002463

I pointed out earlier,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002464

we have to make do

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002465

with the misly

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002466

sum that's allocated

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002467

for

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002468

us, but

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002469

we will not

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002470

shrink to the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002471

challenge.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002472

And

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002473

the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002474

challenge to us

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002475

is really how to be

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002476

a more agile

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002477

organization

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002478

within

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002479

the

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002480

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002481

we can use

when I talk about

asr-002487

organizational

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002488

agility,

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002489

this is

certain processes

asr-002492

asr-002527

effectively

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002528

based on

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002529

the mandate that

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002530

you are given

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002531

with a budget

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002540

committee. Yes, thank

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002541

you, Your Honor. And to be

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002542

candid, really,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002543

I'm

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002544

very proud with the

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002545

performance of the PCO and

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002546

how they have achieved their

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002547

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002548

But what we want to know from you is how can you confidently

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002549

say, you can be honest with us, sabihin mo challenging na.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002550

Kasi challenging na, hindi namin magawa,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002551

hindi namin ma -perform ang aming trabaho

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002552

kung meron talagang reduction sa budget namin.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002553

Kasi naniniwala po ko sa lahat sinang sinabi ng ating

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002554

mga kasamahan dito

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002555

na for an agency that is expected so much,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002556

kayo po yung messenger,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002557

kayo po yung liaison ng gobyerno sa ating taong bayan.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002558

And I think that is a very important role

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002559

at napakalaki po ng expectation.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002560

Tapos tama pa nga ang sinabi ni Kong Brian na

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002561

how can that be possible if kunti lang yung pondo?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002562

So I want you to be honest with this committee.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002563

Can you honestly say and confidently say

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002564

that you can still carry out your mandate

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002565

to meet the expectation of the

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002566

public as demanded of you based on your mandate

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002567

to effectively and efficiently deliver timely accurate information at

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002568

the time wherein social media is also filling up the space,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002569

communication space.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002570

Yes, thank you very much.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002571

To be honest, we can still be effective

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002572

but we can be much, much better with additional resources.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002573

Okay, manapaka -diplomatic niyo po,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002574

Secretary Gomez.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002575

You also mentioned about an ongoing project

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002576

that you have to lay low for a

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002577

while because of the reduction,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002578

as a result of the reduction of your budget.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002579

Ano pong ongoing projects ito?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002580

Thank you, Your Honor.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002581

Actually, I'm asking my staff to

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002582

pull out the Tier 2 budget that

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002583

we proposed. This is a multi -year program, right?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002585

So what happens now is with the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002586

reduction and decrease of your budget,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002587

medyo napatigil ito?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002588

So just to give you an example,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002589

we launched what we call the Bagong Pilipinas Studios.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002590

These are studios that we use to produce

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002591

and develop content.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002592

These are also studios where content creator

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002593

from the private sector,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002594

yung mga influencers,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002595

yung mga content creators

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002596

can use our studios for free

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002597

and our editing facilities for free.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002598

In fact, the one we have in Mandaluyong

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002599

and in Cebu,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002600

Divisayas,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002601

ang haba ho ng pila doon.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002602

Maraming gustong gumamit araw

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002603

-araw ng mga

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002604

bagong Pilipinas studios namin.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002605

Nung inaugurate po namin sa Cebu,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002606

no less than the President was

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002607

there to inaugurate the facility.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002608

And he was really impressed with the facility

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002609

and how full -pack yung schedule po ng studio.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002610

Maraming

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002611

nakikigami.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002612

So the President told me to ask

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002613

me how many more of this are we gonna produce?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002614

So, and that's part of the part of the tier 2 request that we had.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002615

So, for next year, I believe

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002616

we were So, defunded na siya?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002617

Sorry?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002618

Defunded na siya?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002619

Wala pong napondo for next year at

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002620

all. Not a single How

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002621

much do you how much did you request for that to continue

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002622

with this program to continue?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002623

Madam Chairman, I request For the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002624

Bago Pilipinas Studios,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002625

Your Honor,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002626

or it's 128 million,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002627

128 million only.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002628

120 million,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002629

128 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002630

Yes, yes.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002631

That's 128 million lang

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002632

yan, Your Honor,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002633

because we have existing facilities

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002634

like buildings of the PIA,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002635

buildings of other attached agencies

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002636

where we just need a small space in a floor

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002637

and we just need to develop

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002638

the interiors of those floors.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002639

So for 128,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002640

I believe we're looking at 3 to 5 additional studios

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002641

for Bagong Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002642

And this helps what and who?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002643

It helps our local news production team,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002644

PTB4,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002645

even Radyo Pilipinas

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002646

and the Philippine news agencies.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002647

they can produce content.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002648

Your Honor,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002649

if you may,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002650

you have to understand that

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002651

when you talk about wire services

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002652

today like the Philippine News Agency,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002653

they're just not limited to print anymore.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002654

They produce online content as well.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002655

I agree.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002656

So all of those agencies,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002657

the facilities are open to

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-002658

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002660

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002661

I think it's quite obvious now

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002662

that the mainstream media

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002663

also needs to restructure itself,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002664

meaning it has to be it has to improvise and upgrade

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002665

so that it can also compete

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002666

with the emergence of the social media.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002667

You have to be innovative in a

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002668

way, in a sense.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002669

So I think this is one of the ways

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002670

where I think we can help

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002671

BCO and our state -controlled media,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002672

official media platform

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002673

to, again,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002674

not only to regain the trust of the people,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002675

but to combat information

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002676

that that dissuade people

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002677

from ever trusting their government,

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002706

Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002707

just recently,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002708

two months ago,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002709

we received an order

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002710

from the National Mediation Board

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002711

to pay 50 million,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002712

rounded up

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002713

to 50 million,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002714

involving 26 employees.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002715

And this is,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002716

we were able to bring down the claim

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002717

to 50 million,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002718

from a high of more than 100 million.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002719

You know,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002720

that is under legal obligation.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002721

We have to follow the order of the court.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002722

So, ibig sabihin,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002723

kasama po ito sa natanggal

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002724

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002725

PIA ba yun?

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002729

PIA, no? So, ibig sabihin po, I'm sure it would... be not only problematic on your case but nakakatakot

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002730

pumasok sa building ninyo, opisina, na may mga baka

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002735

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

meron din po silang sariling quotations din po para po sa rental

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002741

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002742

-include. Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002743

all of us would agree with me

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002744

if I say na part for an organization to

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002745

effectively deliver good results in terms

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002746

of trabaho is also yung sa inasabi po nilang ambience ng workplace. How can

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002747

you possibly expect these people to deliver good work result? Kung

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002748

tatakot sila, baka tumalikot sila, may kumagat sila ng panike. I'm

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002749

laying this down, Madam Chair, because all of us should understand na

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002750

kinakailangan talagang, kung pwede, hindi nga dapat ma -defend. Secretary

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002752

the Philippines is no longer the chairman of the ASEAN it should not, at

Source

Wala na ata si Kong Brian eh. Pero isend

Source

asr-002760

na lang natin dito sa kanya sa Viber. So I

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002761

mean, how can we possibly expect our state information tool to

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002762

not only deliver accurate and timely information, but as well as to combat misinformation and

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002763

then catch up with the ever

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002764

-increasing demand for information and not to mention also, yung pag

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002765

-i -innovate ng other media tools like social media na may AA pa nga ngayon, etc. without

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002766

providing them the necessary assistance that they need. May I

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002767

appeal, just to cut short the discussion, may I appeal to all members present here that

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002768

we request

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002769

the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002770

Chairman

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002771

of the Appropriation to reinstate the budget that

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002772

was initially requested by the PCO, including Ocilet Attach agencies. Would

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002773

that be a fair request, Madam Chair? Because

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002774

I would definitely... Yes, Kong

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002775

Zia. Hindi ako nag

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002776

-PPR po dito, ha. Hindi ako nag

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002777

-PPR. Pero kasi

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002778

alam ko po yung lahat po kami ngayon ay biktima ng trolls and bashing.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002779

No? So, isa

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002780

po sila sa ano. So, I

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002781

would formally,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002782

I would formally, without prejudice to those who were against my position on this, but

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002783

I would make it as a formal request if I would turn it into a motion that we require, you know,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002784

we also revisit and then once the time that it will go back to the mother committee and then

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002785

discuss the... reinstating the initial request funding of the

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002786

PCO, including all of its attached agency. Anyway,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002787

sila naman yung pinakamababang request ng pondo sa lahat ng ahensya ng Ehekutibo. So I

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002788

would like to make that as a formal motion, Madam Chair, so that we can

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002789

table the discussion. Pag dumaan po,

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002790

bumalik po ito sa Mother Committee of Appropriations.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002791

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002792

Of course, upon the request of...

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002793

upon the advice of the ComSec, we will pursue it,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002794

act on it on the proper time. For sure, because we are all heartbroken with what happened to

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002795

IBC getting the zero budget. And I think the Speaker has been made aware of all

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002796

these predicaments of the bats in the PIA, of the old building.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002797

Not only the bats...

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002798

And the...

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002798-split-1

IBC's...

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002799

Not only the bats, Madam Chair, but the legal obligation of IBC to pay their former

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002800

employees.

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002801

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002807

is not a PR. I'm not

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002808

pulling out a PR stunt here. This is actually

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002809

a real situation concerning real people concerning real expectation by the people to

Source

Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong

asr-002810

deliver accurate information.

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-002811

And sa mga narinig natin, nakakalungkot yung mga naririnig natin kasi

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002881

communications arm ng government, ilang dekada na ito na ang PCO,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002882

ngayon na OPS before, yung budget laging nasa dulo.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002883

Naguunahan kayo ng Department of Tourism dati,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002884

ngayon malayong malayo na sila sa inyo.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002885

Matagal na ito, Madam Chair, dekada na itong problema ng ating ahensya ito.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002889

yung mga nalalagay sa PCO kaya nakaka-function kahit paano. Pero ngayon medyo iba na ho ang laban natin sa mundo.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002890

Gaya ng nabanggit ni GM Lino, ang laban natin ngayon, laban na tungkol sa komunikasyon, developmental communication for that matter.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002891

Kasi kung titignan nyo, sa communication arm, GM Lino, nagagamit ba ang social media platforms sa PTV4

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002892

or sa IBC-13 in terms of communicating to our ano, meron na ba kayong ganong klaseng sistema?

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002893

Magandang hapon po, the good congressman from Paranaque, Congressman Yamsuan.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002894

I think meron po at I will be less diplomatic than my boss, Secretary Dave, kung papayagan niyo ako bilang dating membro ng kamarang ito.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002895

I think lahat dito napaka-efficient, napaka-effective with the meager budget

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002896

that is given to them.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002897

Ako, I spent most of this administration from the outside. I have only been here for two months.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002898

Tremendous, tremendous yung trabaho ng ginagawa ng PCO.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002899

Pero it is a fraction of what we should be doing when we are up against a significant amount of resources.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002900

Hindi ho, hindi to PR ng ehekutibo, hindi ho to para sa kongreso.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002901

This is really for the Filipino

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002902

people. Dahil ang binabanggan nyo,

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002903

Dahil ang binabanggan niyo, ang sabi nga ng Pangulo, yung susunod nating battle niyo ay systems loss.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002904

The energy sector.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002905

If they spend 10% of what they will lose, that's 5 billion against you.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002906

And you'll be fighting for the Filipino people.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002907

Who will fight for you?

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002908

Who will defend you?

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002909

At ganun rin ho pagdating sa pakikipaglaban niyo sa syntaxes.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002910

Sorry, sa aspeto.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002911

What do you call it?

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002912

Ibat-ibang mga aspeto na may be harmful to the Filipino.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002913

So yun ho, when we are against the private sector and external forces,

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002914

and we are pushing agenda for the Filipino people,

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002915

ang laban ho ay napakabigat at yung area ng social media is really the battleground.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002916

At ang misconception dito ay libre.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002917

Hindi ho libre ang social media.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002918

Costs are significantly higher throughout the industry for production.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002919

Distribution is now cheaper.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002920

We don't need antennas and towers.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002921

So across the industry po ito, mas mura na ho ang distribution.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002922

Pero production is more expensive across the board.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002923

Because we need to keep churning out.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002924

Siguro kahit ho kayo sa distrito niyo, hindi pwedeng press release lang.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002925

Kailangan ho constant.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002926

Pag umiikot kayo, kailangan may camera.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002927

Kailangan pinapaliwanag niyo lahat ng programa.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002928

So distribution is cheaper, production is significantly more expensive.

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002929

And as much as these good people are trying to do their jobs, our jobs, in social media,

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002930

tingin ko po from an outside perspective,

Source

PCO Undersecretary Ramon A. Ilagan

asr-002931

napaka laki pa ng kailangan nating habulin para pantayan yung external forces.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002932

Exactly. Napakaganda kasi ng sitwasyon natin ngayon.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002933

We have one of the best teams ever assembled.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002934

Si Secretary Dave came from media.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002935

And then went to the private sector.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002936

Became one of the best company PRs in the country.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002937

And same din with Yusec Monilagan.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002938

Came from media.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002939

Went into public service, became a mayor.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002940

And now he's back to the industry he loves.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002941

At ikaw din, Mayor Lino, GM Lino, ganun din.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002942

Lahat tayo nanggagaling sa ganun.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002943

Ako din, diba?

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002944

From media to public service

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002945

and now,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002946

public service pa rin.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002948

Sayang eh yung oportunidad kung di natin gagamitin.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002949

Lagi nating sinasabi, communications is key.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002950

Always.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002951

Lagi naman yan ang key.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002952

Sa lahat ng bagay.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002953

Kahit sa pag-aaway ng mga bagay-bagay.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002954

Kahit sa pamilya.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002955

Pag di nag-usap.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002956

Communications pa rin is key.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002957

So we go down to the basics.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002958

And I think ako ay second my colleague na member din ng BARC.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002959

Kami ni Kong Zia,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002960

na talagang we will fight for your budget.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002961

Ito na siguro yung panahon na ipaglaban natin yung komunikasyon.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002962

Sa pagbibigay ng interpretasyon sa mga tamang mga proyekto ng gobyerno.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002963

Ang daming magaganda.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002964

Gaya na nabanggit kanina ni Kong Nazal,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002965

Yung P3.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002966

Yung YACAP.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002967

Marami pa tayong mga programa na pang edukasyon.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002968

Yung tulong-dunong.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002969

Hindi alam ng tao.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002970

Kaya kami sa distrito.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002971

Ako.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002972

I post yung mga programa na available for my constituents

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002973

Para malaman nila kung saan mag-a-apply.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002974

Saan pupunta.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002975

At gaya ng sinabi ni GM Lino kanina.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002976

Yung mga ospital na pwedeng zero balance billing.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002977

Kung wala kaming pambayad.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002978

Saan kami pupunta.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002979

Pero kung nalalagay lagi sa PTV4 yung mga list,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002980

O kahit man lang sa social media accounts niyo.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002981

At nakikita na natin yung television.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002982

Iba na ngayon.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002983

May social media arm na rin sila.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002984

Available na lahat nun.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002985

Gaya ng nabanggit,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002986

nagkwentuhan kami ni GM Lino kanina,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002987

sabi ko,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002988

dati,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002989

ang nila-live lang,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002990

yung mga importanteng balita.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002991

Ngayon, lahat live na.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002992

Pagka...

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002993

Pagka nila-live ka na sa Facebook,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002994

makikita ka na ng tao.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002995

Diba? Ang balita ngayon,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002996

dati inabangan mo ng alas 6 ng gabi,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002997

kinabukasan,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002998

sa dyaryo, minsan

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-002999

hinahabol pa natin, Dave, Mon,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003000

diba, na, ops, baka naman pwede,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003001

wag mo na kaming i-banner.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003002

Baka pwede sa baba na lang yan kasi maapektohan kami.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003003

Ganon dati ang labanan.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003004

Pero ngayon, hindi. Ngayong araw

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003005

na ito, nagsasalita tayo. Pwede

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003006

nang ilabas ito maya-maya, after a few

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003007

minutes. So, kailangan

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003008

tayo mag-adjust. At

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003009

kailangan namin kayo

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003010

nakatuwang dito para mas madali

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003011

namin maipaliwanag

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003012

sa tao yung amendment.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003013

Kasi ito na yun eh.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003014

Ito na yung nasa National Expenditure Program.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003015

Ayaw lang namin masabihan kami na

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003016

inilagay namin ito ng walang eksplenasyon.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003017

Kailangan ipakita rin natin sa tao

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003018

yung pangangailangan para

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003019

madagdagan tayo ng budget.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003020

At gawin na natin institutional to

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003021

na hindi lang ngayong taon

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003022

kundi sa mga susunod pang taon.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003023

As we progress as a nation,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003024

we should also progress

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003025

yung mga pangangailangan natin

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003026

in terms of the tools we need.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003027

And even kung maga, like for example,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003028

Mayor Lino.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003029

Manunood ba ako ng programa

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003030

ng PTV4 kung

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003031

ang anchor mo, hindi ko masyadong kilala?

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003032

Siyempre, gusto ko rin panoorin

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003033

si Karen Davila.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003034

Gusto ko rin panoorin si Pinky Webb.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003035

Si Corina Sanchez.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003036

Diba?

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003037

So, we need to hire good people

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003038

in our stations to be able to

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003039

create that, diba, yung relevance.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003040

Pag nawala na ka na ng relevance,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003041

baliwala yun eh.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003042

Kahit ano pang sabihin mo,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003043

pag hindi maayos yung nagkocommunicate

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003044

ng storya mo,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003045

baliwala yun, diba?

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003046

Bilang communicators, bilang nasa

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003047

PR industry, nasa communications industry,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003048

alam natin yun.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003049

And I think, yun yung kailangan natin ipaliwanag.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003051

It takes an amount

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003052

to be able to create something better.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003053

So, sa akin,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003054

Secretary Dave,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003055

Yusek Mon,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003056

GM Lino,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003057

sa aking ninong,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003058

Jimmy Policarpio,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003059

ako, simple lang ang gusto ko,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003060

bumalik ang

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003062

brilyo ng

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003063

Presidential Communication Office.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003064

kayo lang yung maasahan namin sa lahat ng bagay,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003065

Sa fake news, sa lahat ng bagay.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003066

Kayo yung pwedeng mag-defend sa amin.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003067

At kayo rin yung magkocommunicate

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003068

ng mga magaganda namin ginagawa

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003069

para maintindihan ng tao,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003070

yung mga polisiya.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003071

Yung practical application of the law,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003072

yun ang madalas naiging problema.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003073

ang ganda ng batas pero hindi na maintindihan ano to.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003074

So, kailangan mo na maayos

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003075

at matitinong mga tao

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003076

mag-explica sa kanila ng mga bagay-bagay

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003077

para nang sa ganun, mas madaling maintindihan.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003078

And ako, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003079

I

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003080

concur with my colleague,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003081

Kong Zia Alonto

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003082

for his

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003083

steadfast commitment to

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003084

increasing the budget of the PCO.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003085

Ako, hindi lang yung

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003086

restoration, but I will

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003087

push for an increase in the budget of the PCO.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003088

Lahat, pati yung restoration

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003089

ng 1.7 billion ng

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003090

PTV, yung sa IBC na

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003091

kailangan ng bayaran, kailangan

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003092

ng gawin yun. And ako,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003093

I suggest that you formally submit

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003094

an official request

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003095

so that we can discuss it in the BARC

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003096

And in the committees.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003097

And we will manifest also

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003098

our support to

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003099

the PCO in terms

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003100

of communications

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003101

din.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003102

Magpa-presidise kami jointly ni

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003103

Kong Ziad Jong para maintindihan

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003104

nila na ito commitment, hindi lang ito

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003105

dahil nandito tayo ngayon.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003106

ngayon. Gagawin namin to and we will

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-003107

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003157

very, very good, let's

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

an F1, kahit gaano pa

asr-003161

yung driver mo problema,

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

hindi mananalo yan.

asr-003164

gaano man kagaling driver mo,

pero kotse mo sira-sira at saka kulang-kulang

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003166

ng gamit, talo pa rin yan.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003167

You know, this is

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003168

for me, it's an all-star cast,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003169

especially with the addition of

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003170

GM Lino

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003171

to the PCO family.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003172

He's a director, he should know

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003173

the industry, he knows the

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003174

business very well.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003175

Kaya lang, ang problema,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003176

grabe bawas budget nyo.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003177

Ito for a fact,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003178

I want to address it

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003179

to PIA.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003180

You actually have a

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003181

pending donation

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003182

of land in El Salvador

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003183

City to

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003184

put up a

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003185

PIA office

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003186

in Region 10.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003187

At no cost, at no cost

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003188

to PIA.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003189

Ang problema, matapos, almost

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003190

na matapos yung five years,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003191

ang local

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003192

government, sinabihan ako

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003193

at saka ni RD, pag hindi na

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003194

na-implement by 2027,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003195

babawiin ng LGU lupa nyo.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003196

So, Madam Chair,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003197

imagine, look at the

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003198

impact that this has created.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003199

May lupa na. Parang,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003200

may lupa nga, naging bato pa.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003201

Kung hindi matutulungan yung

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003202

pondo nila.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003203

So, this I can also guarantee and promise

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003204

that if given opportunity to once

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003205

again work with BARC,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003206

I will work

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003207

for the reinstatement

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003208

and maybe as some addition

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003209

to your budget. But, can I

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003210

also get a commitment from PIA

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003211

that if ever

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003212

we are able to get budget,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003213

especially for capital outlay,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003214

kahit nga, unahan nga lang natin,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003215

natin ng fencing eh, para lang

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003216

sasabihin ng LGU na may

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003217

nagawa tayong initial

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003218

for infrastructure project.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003219

Can we get the commitment

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003220

of PIA, Madam Chair?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003221

Go ahead, Representative.

Source

PIA Assistant Director-General for External Affairs Kristine Venet Q. Andal

asr-003222

Yes, Kong.

Source

PIA Assistant Director-General for External Affairs Kristine Venet Q. Andal

asr-003223

You have our commitment.

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003224

Well, with that, Madam Chair,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003225

I not only second, third, fourth,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003226

fifth, the motion of Congressman Zia,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003227

but we will be

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003228

working with BARC

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003229

and hopefully with the committee chair,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003230

that we will be able

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003231

to at least, if not,

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003232

reinstate a little

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003233

for PCO and its

Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-003234

attached agencies. Maraming salamat.

Representative Antonino

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003239

Tony Boy Roman.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003240

Magandang hapon sa inyo lahat

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003241

sa PCO

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003242

at mga

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003243

kalakip,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003244

kakaugnay na ahensya.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003245

Tulad ng binanggit ni Cong. Brian,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003246

medyo nalungkot ako dahil hindi ko inaasahan.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003247

I came here kind of blind.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003248

I didn't know that

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003249

yung IBC 13 was defunded.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003250

Ako naman, just to contextualize,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003251

na ganoon nalang

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003252

aking paniniwala sa communication.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003253

I may not be a media

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003254

person now.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003255

I thought I was going to be a media person

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003256

kasi ang background ko po ay student journalism,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003257

editor-in-chief in

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003258

high school,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003259

sa UP,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003260

editor sa Guidon,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003261

and then in law school, here and abroad, I was both

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003262

editors. So I believe in communication

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003263

which translated to

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003264

my becoming an influencer.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003265

You know, I

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003266

if you

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003267

nagbibigay po ako ng legal advice,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003268

use social media, using

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003269

TikTok and Facebook,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003270

where nakita ko

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003271

yung kahalagahan ng communication.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003272

Ang aking naging,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003273

layunin at pakay,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003274

paano maiintindihan ng mga tao

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003275

ng masa ang batas.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003276

2020, hindi naman sa pagyayabang.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003277

When I started this,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003278

my TikTok or Facebook,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003279

I only had 24,000 followers.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003280

Right now, I am approaching

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003281

2.9 million on Facebook.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003282

Just giving legal advice.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003283

So that's me as an influencer.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003284

I believe in, when I was a board member

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003285

in Bataan, I sponsored

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003286

the Freedom of Information

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003287

Ordinance of Bataan, for which,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003288

Bataan got an award.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003289

I'm also an author

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003290

and I defended, at plenary,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003291

yung anti-false information

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003292

bill.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003293

Also, principal author

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003294

of the AI Mother Bill.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003295

And of course, I'm a lawyer, and lawyers

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003296

we're all about communicating

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003297

complicated legal

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003298

concepts to the judge and to

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003299

the public. So yun po ang konteksto.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003300

Kaya ganoon na lang yung paniniwala

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003301

sa kahalagan ng media.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003302

Ngayon, itong IBC,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003303

IBC 13, I'd like to direct my first

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003304

question to

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003305

Mr. Jimmy Policarpio.

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

Talagang napakalakas, bagamat

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003309

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

Tumalon po. Instead, dati po, isa lang, that is tutok.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

Yung reach po ng inyong istasyon, I would imagine, dahil dumami yung programa,

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

Para mas maunawaan at ma-appreciate yung papel

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003461

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003462

So, ilan po yung empleyado ng IBC 13?

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003463

Right now, kukunti lang po, because right now, we have 100,

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003464

31, pero meron nyo kaming tinatawag na COS.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003465

Alam nyo naman, 101, sa industry, marami yung COS.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003466

Ilan po sila total, yung employees, yung COS?

Source

asr-003467

Yung total namin, 456, including 100 na regular.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003468

Kasi sa industry, COS yung mga part-time reporter,

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003469

kasi nag-introduce kami ng mobile journalism.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003470

Ini-encourage namin yung mga estudyante sa labas,

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

Sabi din siya, pag sa pondong nakuha nyo,

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003479

At ano ho ang napektuhan sa mga future,

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003483

Meron pa po dyan, kinatawag natin mga sexual education.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003484

Kasi napapansin ko, marami mga bata na, bata pa lang, nabubuntis.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003485

So we would like to humanize it, explain.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003486

Opo. Actually, yung nakita ko po.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003487

Meron po kami, opo, and mano po.

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003488

Being in back Filipino culture.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003490

Nung tumira po ako sa Amerika nang mahabang panahon.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003491

Ako ay sumusubaybay sa C-SPAN.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003492

Nung nakita ko po yung Congress TV,

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003493

iyon po, nakita ko yung papel na ginagampanan ninyo,

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003494

na dinadala nyo dahil ang kaalaman po ay nasa kapalad po ng mga tao.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003495

Korotorin to, eto po, pinapalad ko po yung proceedings ngayon.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003496

Nakikita ko, nalalaman nila kung anong ginagawa ng mga nasa Kongreso.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003497

Mahalaga, mahalaga po.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003498

We made sure, Your Honor.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003499

As a matter of fact, may dagdag ko lang po.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003500

We have 90 under Congress.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003501

Kasi marami po tayong mga nagko-cover sa probinsya, dito po.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003502

Lahat po ng hearing covered natin.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003503

Ano ang balak ninyo para mabayaran ninyo iyong legal obligation?

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003504

Dala ng

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003505

58 million po ba?

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003506

50 million po. Kasama po yan sa nirequest namin.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003507

Sa madaling salita, hindi na ho mababayaran iyon.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003508

Hindi mo mababayaran pag di po kami binigyan.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003509

Hindi.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003510

Hindi po sasalunan yung ibang ahensya diyan sa ilalim ng PCO?

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003511

Ganito po nangyari nung matagal na hindi nababayaran yung mga more than 350 retirees since 1998.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003512

Nagbalak pa po silang magpunta sa Human Rights Commission para i-report.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003513

Sabi ko, no, no, no, no. That's out of the question.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003514

Ganoon, aayusin natin iyan.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003515

Kamusta naman po yung sentimiento ng kulang limandaang empleyado at COS ninyo

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003516

nang nalaman nilang walang pondo po ang IBC-13?

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003517

Masayang-masaya po sila, yung lahat po ng retirees.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003518

Kasi lalo na po yung mga namatayan na, at least po nabayaran yung retirement na kunilang ama,

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003519

nabayaran po yung mga utang, at higit sa lahat po tinulungan namin ma-repair niyang papanong ma-write off na lang yung iba.

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003520

Di po, ang tanong ko po, kamusta po ang kulang limandaang empleyado at COS ng IBC-13

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003521

nang nalaman nila na wala po kayong pondo itong taon na ito?

Source

IBC President Jose C. "Jimmy" Policarpio Jr.

asr-003522

Naniniwala po sila sa puso at damdamin ng ating pamahalaan, ng ating lehislatibo.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003523

Maasa po sila.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003524

Opo, sana po, katulad naman sinabi ng mga kasamahan ko, sana po, mabigyan ng pondo ang IB13.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003525

Nakita naman natin kung saan sila nagsimula at nasan sila ngayon.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003526

Sabi nga ni Cong. Brian Yamsuan, hanggang sa huli, palagi.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003527

Di ba?

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003528

At sabi naman ni Chair, ni Madam Chair, ipaglalaban.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003529

Mga programa sa TVA, ipaglaban mo.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003530

Di ba? So, paglalaban natin yan.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003531

At sa PIA, naku, nung nakita ko yung pictures ng mga bats, alam niyo, ibang-iba eh.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003532

Because I live in two different cultures, I see the difference. It's night and day.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003533

Bakit kung sa Amerika, kapag ahensya ng pamahalaan ng departamento,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003534

napaka-impressive ang mga gusali, malinis,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003535

matibay, malamig, maganda yung mga furniture.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003536

Bakit sa atin, kapag gobyerno, parang hindi inaalagaan ang bahay?

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003537

Hindi ko maunawaan.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003538

And I believe that if you want to change the culture, you want to promote professionalism,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003539

you need a professional environment.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003540

And certainly what I saw is not a professional environment.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003541

Sana ho, mapagtuunan ng pansin yun.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003542

Kaya nung bagong congressman ako,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003543

nung ginawa, pina-renovate ko ang aking opisina,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003544

na sa mahabang panahon, ilang dekada, hindi na-renovate.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003545

Kasi kailangan ko ng magandang environment para makapagtrabaho ng mabuti at paglingkuran ang mamamayan.

Source

Maraming salamat po.

Thank you very much, Representative Antonino Roman.

Our chair calls for a momentary suspension.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003550

The committee resumes the hearing for House Bill No. 10858.

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003551

Madam Chair.

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003551-split-1

The committee now recognizes Representative Antonino Roman for additional interpellation.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003552

For additional interpellation, I’m just curious on, would like to know the reason for defunding IBC 13.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003553

Bakit ito nawala ng pondo?

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003554

Secretary Dave.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003554-split-1

Yes, thank you, Your Honor.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003555

And if again, I may reiterate what I mentioned earlier, we were really very surprised and very saddened when we saw the NEP that was

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003556

submitted to Congress that allocated zero budget for IBC, only to find out that the

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003557

rationale, the reason behind it was the supposed planned privatization of the station.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003558

We are working, as I mentioned earlier as well, we are working for the privatization of the station.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003559

And in fact, we're meeting with the GCG next week to finalize the plans.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003560

But there are several working pieces that we need to put in place first.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003561

But we're really looking to complete the process by end of the year, but...

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003562

But if

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003563

there are some headwinds that we may encounter, obstacles thrown our way,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003564

what happens to the station if they don't have any budget by first of January next year? What happens to our employees?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003565

What happens to our programs? That's why we're really appealing to this honorable committee

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003566

to restore what IBC 13 proposed in their National Expenditure Program.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003567

So, sa madaling salita po, nasa initial stages pa lang ng planning,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003568

na malayo pa ho ang mahabang panahon pa ang lilipas bago ma-finalize?

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003569

Hindi naman po, Your Honor, hindi naman po.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003570

Medyo, simula nung dumating ako dito sa role na ito, nung tinignan namin, medyo matagal na stall, matagal na stall yung privatization initiative. Only now that we are pushing with guidance from the top that we really should prioritize this.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003571

That we are working now with the station, DBP, and GCG so that finally before the end of the year,

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003572

we can call for an open public bidding for interested parties.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003573

So malayo po tayo sa bidding, maaaring mag-fail pa yung bidding, marami pang puwedeng mangyari.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003574

Maaaring mawalan ng interes sa mga kinakausap ninyo. Marami pa kayong kakausapin.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003575

So mukhang mahabang panahon po, ang maraming... ilang buwan pang lilipas bago ma-finalize ito.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003576

So masasabi n’yo po na parang premature at napaaga masyado yung pagtanggal ng pondo sa inyo.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003577

Opo your honor totoo po.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003577-split-1

Maraming salamat, Congressman Roman. Um,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003578

habang tayo po ay nagsasabi na lahat po tayo ay talagang nadurog ang puso

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003579

nang nakita natin ang IBC 13 na nag-zero budget,

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003580

nandito lang po pala sa in our midst si DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003581

Siya po ay puwede natin tanungin as to the wisdom of the DBM, why it came to be that IBC had zero budget for 2027.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003582

Ma’am, we recognize Assistant Director Lulu.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003583

Good morning, Madam Chair and Your Honor.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003584

Actually, IBC 13 is really currently under the GOCC, which is listed as under privatization.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003585

This is pursuant to the memo of the Executive Secretary, dated December 21, 2015.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003586

So, up to now, yun ang tingin ng DBM because it is an ongoing privatization.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003587

But for 2026...

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003588

We have released 424 million for the compensation benefits of the IBC 13 employees.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003589

So, kung baga, sinusuportahan din naman ng DBM if ever na need talaga na like that.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003590

And ang assumption namin is, last na na po yun, nababayaran namin.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003591

considering na yung mga retirement benefits na nabayaran na rin namin.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003592

And then, when you speak of yung...

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003593

arbitration award, which is in the amount of 50 million, I think that was awarded only in June this year.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003594

E tapos na po ang budget preparation that time.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003595

And nag-re-issue na po kami noon ng confirmation letter.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003596

So, possible po talagang hindi siya maisasama sa 2027.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003597

That's our position po.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003598

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003599

Thank you, Assistant Director.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003600

Madam Chair, is she a resource person also from DBM?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003601

Yes, she is assistant, yes.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003602

She's a resource person, therefore I can propound questions to her.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003603

Yes, yes, go ahead, Representative Antonino.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003604

So, alam niyo yung arbitration award na kailangan mo yan ng 50 million.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003605

Tapos, sa kabila nun, dinefund niyo

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003606

So, sino magbabayad noon?

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003607

Actually, sir, we don't receive any...

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003608

I mean, we don't need any record.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003609

Yeah, we did not receive any record

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003610

or any request on that.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003611

And we don't have any copy of that arbitration award.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003612

But the DBM was present in the last year's budget deliberations.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003613

And that was one of the issues lengthily discussed during the budget deliberations of PCO.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003614

That's why, sir, in 2026, the IBC 13 requested for the compensation benefits.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003615

And we granted it out of the Pension Gratuity Fund.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003616

In the amount of 428 million.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003617

But you just said that you found out about the arbitration award came down in June of this year.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003618

This year.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003619

Yes.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003620

And you said it's too late.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003621

And the budget prep season is from April up to May.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003622

And June is already a final deliberation.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003623

And we have to issue our confirmation letter to the agencies.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003624

Tapos na po.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003625

But given that this supervening event...

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003626

Don't you think that requires an amendment?

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003627

To satisfy legal obligations?

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003628

Sir, it's up to the Congress, po.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003629

Pero don't you think it's wrong for government not to pay legal obligations?

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003630

That government should set an example?

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003631

Sir, like what we did in 2026 when they requested for the compensation benefits of those IBC employees,

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003632

we granted them 428 million.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003633

And that is charged against the Pension and Gratuity Fund, po.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003634

Were you present earlier?

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003635

During the discussions here?

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003636

Yes.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003637

Yes, you were.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003638

You heard the sentiments and the views of the congressmen here?

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003639

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003640

And you appreciate where we're coming from?

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003641

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003642

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003643

So, that Assistant Director, should we, should the IBC or Secretary Dave, like, write another

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003644

remedy?

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003645

Because you said, na-receive niyo po June 2026.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003646

So, just...

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003647

We did not receive any letter or any approval of that, Your Honor.

Source

DBM Assistant Director Lulu P. Vispo

asr-003648

Wala ho kaming copy. Kaya we did not, we didn't know na meron palang gano'n na. Yes, yes po.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003649

Madam Chairman, if I may add, no, I will concur with the report of the Director.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003650

By June 30 this year, tapos na po yung preparation ng NEP, no, na-discuss na po sa cabinet, na-present na po sa Pangulo yun.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003651

So, medyo, hindi nga siguro umabot, no.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003652

But tama din po si Congressman na

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003653

This is a legal obligation that IBC 13 needs to settle.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003654

So, isasama na lang po namin doon sa summary namin of the budget

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003655

proposed by the attached agencies that were cut or were not included, but we respectfully

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003656

ask the committee to restore or to fund.

Source

Secretary David M. Gomez

asr-003657

Salamat, po.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003658

Thank you very much, Secretary Dave.

Source

Rep. Alexandria "Queenie" Gonzales

asr-003659

So, it will all be included in the new quotation. Isasubmit niyo po sa
