Good morning to everyone.

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000088

To our Department of Agriculture family,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000089

led by Secretary Francisco Kiko Tiu Laurel Jr.,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000090

in the National Irrigation Administration family,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000091

led by Administrator Eduardo Eddie Guillen,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000092

our partners from the Civil Society Organization

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000093

and all colleagues participating in today's budget hearing,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000094

good morning.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000095

Today, our task is not merely to review our profession,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000096

but to support in sharpening the agri-sector's direction,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000097

raise local production,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000098

improve the incomes of farmers and peasant folks,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000099

and ensure that assistance reaches producers in the right place and at the right time.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000100

As President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. reminded us,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000101

our national budget serves as our moral and economic compass,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000102

always pointing toward making life better for our people.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000103

The fiscal year 2027 NEP proposes P198.45 billion for the DA in its attached corporations,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000104

while P46.36 billion is proposed as budgetary support

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000105

for the DA in its attached corporations.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000106

We support the Department's direction to treat these resources as one value-chain strategy,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000107

from land, water, credit, and mechanized production to poor harvest facilities,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000108

logistic, market matching, and better return for producers.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000109

The P16 billion program,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000110

the Farm-to-Market Road Program,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000111

the P250 million CADIWA program,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000112

cold storage facilities,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000113

consolidation,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000114

and digital market information should work together

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000115

to reduce transport costs and spoilage,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000116

improve farm gate prices,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000117

and connect farmers and peasant folks with reliable buyers.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000118

And because water is the lifeblood of our field,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000119

the fiscal year 2027 NEP proposes P46.36 billion in budgetary support for NIA,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000120

with only 2.20 million hectares developed out of the country,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000121

3.13 million hectares of potential irrigatable area,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000122

and more than 1.5 million hectares of land.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000123

We support NIA's direction to accelerate irrigation development

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000124

while giving equal attention to refer restoration,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000125

climate adoption, and service road improvements,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000126

irrigation, funding, and projects should be coordinated

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000127

with the DA community plans,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000128

crops, calendars, LGUs, and irrigation.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000129

We also support NIA's commitment to improve the quality of the water and the environment

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000130

so that every new or restored system immediately support additional production in diversified cropping.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000131

Production support must also include timely and affordable agricultural credit,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000132

particularly for small farmers,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000133

peasant folks, cooperatives, and farmers' associations.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000134

Mechanization through PELMIG in the DA Banners Program

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000135

must improve labor and output efficiency,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000136

expand harvesting, drying, storage, and processing capacity,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000137

and reduce losses between harvest and market credit.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000138

Equipment, training, insurance, and market access should be delivered,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000139

as an integrated package in coordination with LGUs and local farmers

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000140

rather than as separate interventions.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000141

Every allocation proposed for the year 2027

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000142

must be authored on a clear purpose,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000143

a defined intervention in a missionable result.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000144

We must be able to explain,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000145

not only how much we are requesting,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000146

but why we are requesting it,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000147

what problem it addresses,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000148

who will benefit in what improvement.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000149

We expect to see where program have demonstrated results.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000150

We must identify how to sustain our scale of this gain,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000151

where implementation challenges have been increased,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000152

why it's being considered,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000153

and how to be the key to the improvement.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000154

This must be addressed through better planning,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000155

stronger education, and more program design.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000156

Our objective is clear,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000157

to arrive at a budget proposal that is credible,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000158

responsive performance informed,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000159

and capable of delivering meaningful results

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000160

for the Philippines agriculture.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000161

Accordingly,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000162

I hope that the government of the Philippines will provide us with a number of means for developing a more robust and sustainable program.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000163

The committee will look for clear regional and community targets, accessible credit, operational irrigation system, lower post-harvest losses, stronger market, matching, and better day-to-day coordination that gives local farmers a direct voice in planning and implementation.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000164

At this point, before the agencies begin their representation, I would like to introduce the sponsor of today's budget, Vice Chairman Dr. Anna York, our lead sponsor.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000165

Congressman York cannot join us physically as he is attending the needs of our constituents in Pampanga, which until now may baha pa po doon.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000166

Of course, your trolleys, Congressman Bong Tebes, and the sponsor of NIA budget, Vice Chairman Joseph Tan.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000167

With that, I welcome everyone today for Fiscal Year 2027 Department of Culture and National Irrigation Administration Budget Hearing.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000168

We look forward to support today in NIA moving these reforms toward...

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000169

...a more productive, efficient, and resilient agricultural sector.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000170

Thank you, and I wish everyone a productive discussion.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000171

Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman, Rufus Rodriguez here, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000172

May I raise a point of inquiry?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000173

The budget hearing schedule promulgated by the Committee on Appropriations has two agencies at the same time, 1030,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000174

which is the DA...

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000175

...with Secretary Benitez, and NIA, with Administrator Guillen.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000176

May I know whether this will be successive or it will be joined at the same time, and we will be given 10 minutes each?

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000177

Joined in 10 minutes.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000178

Five minutes each.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000179

Okay, thank you very much. Five minutes each.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000180

So, we'll all be able to ask five minutes to the DA, five minutes to the NIA.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000181

Thank you for that ruling, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000182

The clarification: five minutes, joint NIA and DA.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000183

Oh, I thought that it will be separate because many here, like me, I have combined.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000184

Oh, mahirap yun.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000185

Because I have many questions. There are many agencies in the DA and I have many questions.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000186

And then with NIA, I have also questions because I got zero in the NEP in NIA.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000187

Zero.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000188

Butlog.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000189

In Bisaya.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000190

Neil, Nada.

Source

Committee member

asr-000191

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000192

So, may we know whether we should add some more minutes because five minutes will not be sufficient for both big agencies of government with separate budgets.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000193

May we know what will be the consideration of the Chair?

Source

Committee member

asr-000194

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000195

I think, siguro, flexible na lang tayo.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000196

But anyway, there will be a consultation on Thursday, September 3, for DA.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000197

That's why, yung inyong mga parang keyal concern, pwede niyong ma-address doon during consultation sa DA this coming Thursday.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000198

But, boss, siguro, flexible na lang natin kung lalampas tayo ng five minutes.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000199

Siguro, hindi ko na...

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000200

But anyway, ang rules po na natin is for five minutes.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000201

Thank you for that.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000202

And flexibility.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000203

I hope when Kaganyoro speaks, we'll be given another five minutes.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-000204

Thank you.

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000205

May I?

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-000209

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000210

Congressman, your witness.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-000211

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-000212

I joined the manifestation of Honorable Rodriguez, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-000213

In fact, this representation also had so many concerns, not only on the DA, but more particularly on the NIA.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-000214

So, I think more than five minutes is enough for us, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000215

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-000216

Number one of which is…

asr-000235

which is food security, the stability of food prices, the welfare of farmers, support for our economy.

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-000236

And I think one of the most important issues today is recovery from the flood,

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-000237

which is the worst flood which has ever occurred in the Philippines,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-000238

and sadly has occurred in the rice granary of the Philippines, Central Luzon.

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-000239

And of course, we must face the challenges of climate change,

Source

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

asr-000240

which is one of the major causes of the El Nino flood, which is ravaging Philippine agriculture today.

Rep. Anna York P. Bondoc, M.D.

Together with the DA family and the NIA, we welcome your concerns and will try to address them accordingly.

Honorable members of Congress, distinguished colleagues, ladies and gentlemen,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000248

good morning to all.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000249

We are here today to present the Department of Agriculture's proposed budget for fiscal year 2027

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000250

and to seek the continued support of the Department of Agriculture and the National Irrigation Authority.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000251

The President emphasized in his budget message,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000252

the national budget must ultimately make a difference in the lives of our people.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000253

For the Department of Agriculture, that means two things that are inseparable,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000254

ensuring that the Filipino families have sufficient, safe, nutritious, and affordable food,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000255

and making sure that farmers and fisher folks,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000256

who produce that food, can earn a decent and sustainable living.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000257

We cannot have one without the other.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000258

We cannot demand affordable food while leaving those who produce it struggling to cover their costs.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000259

And we cannot expect our farmers and fisher folks to keep producing for the nation

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000260

if farming and fishing no longer provide them with a viable livelihood and a better life for their families.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000261

This is why agriculture must be properly and sufficiently funded.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000262

Every investment we make in agriculture is, at its core, an investment in food security.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000263

It is an investment in the people who put food on our tables,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-000264

and it is an investment in the future of our country.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

Our farmers and fisher folk continue to face high production costs,

Mr. Chair, Honorable Members of Congress, colleagues, ladies and gentlemen,

asr-000330

it is our honor to present the Department of Agriculture's

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000331

2027 National Expenditure Program.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000332

Before we dive into the details of the National Expenditure Program,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000333

we would first like to provide a brief snapshot

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000334

of the current status

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000335

and situation of agriculture and fisheries sector

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000336

and the planning paradigms that guide the Department

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000337

in its priority interventions.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000338

This will provide the broader context

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000339

for understanding on how our priorities

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000340

are translated into programs, investments under the NEP.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000341

After this overview, Undersecretary Nora Olivares

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000342

will walk us through the details

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000343

of the National Expenditure Program.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000344

If I may proceed, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000345

The PSA reported 3.1% growth in agriculture,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000346

forestry, and fisheries gross value added in 2025,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000347

rebounding from 1.5% contraction in 2024.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000348

Despite this recovery, the long-term remains work-in-progress,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000349

as crops, livestock, and fisheries will continue to grow,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000350

and farmers will continue to grow.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000351

In addition,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000352

agriculture and fisheries have yet to return

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000353

into their peak levels,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000354

leaving poultry the sole exception, with 9.1% growth.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000355

Consequently, agriculture and fisheries' contribution

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000356

to the overall economy fell to 7.9% in 2025,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000357

in contrast to the past growing sector.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000358

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000359

But behind this number are our food producers,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000360

as of July 15, 2026,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000361

the Registry System for Basic Sector in Agriculture,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000362

RSBSA,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000363

lists 10.44 million Munich individuals.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000364

This aligns with PSA estimate that agriculture,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000365

fishery, and forestry employs around 10 million people,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000366

roughly 20%, or five in every one worker.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000367

Next slide, please.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000368

The Registry highlights an aging workforce

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000369

with an average age of 56 for farmers

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000370

and 51 for fisher folks,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000371

where 30% are 60% or older,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000372

or a mere 3% belongs to the agri-youth.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000373

Addressing this dynamic requires supporting

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000374

current registered stakeholders,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000375

while actively encouraging the younger generation

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000376

to pursue

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000377

their career in agriculture.

asr-000379

The vast scale of people dependent on agriculture

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000380

and fisheries, alongside with its overall economic contribution,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000381

reveals a clear disparity.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000382

While 20% of the country's labor force is employed

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000383

in agriculture and fishery,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000384

the sector accounts only for 7.9% of the total GDP.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000385

This imbalance,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000386

underscored a persistent gap between labor allocation

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000387

and economic productivity.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000388

Next slide, please.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000389

Granular registry data further highlight

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000390

this disparity across sub-sector,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000391

where gross value added relative to registered producer

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000392

vary widely in relation to the commodity.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000393

For instance,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000394

coconut has the highest number of registered producers

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000395

at approximately 3.05 million individuals,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000396

but the yield is only 82 billion in GBA.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000397

Poultry presents a stark contrast,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000398

generating 225.59 billion in GBA

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000399

from a far smaller workforce

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000400

of 1.4 million registered producers.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000401

Ultimately,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000402

this variation underscores why

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000403

targeted policy planning must weigh in a unique scale,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000404

needs and output potential of each sub-sector.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000405

So,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000406

we think it should be targeted.

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000408

Poverty among farmers and fisher folks

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000409

has declined substantially over the past two decades.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000410

Yet,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000411

it remains significantly higher than the national average.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000412

This indicates that a wide overall macroeconomic progress

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000413

has been achieved.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000414

It has not yet translated fully into improved livelihood

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000415

of those who depend on the sector,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000416

which, as the Secretary mentioned,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000417

the ones who produce our food.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000418

Closing this gap will require focused intervention

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000419

to ensure growth directly reaches

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000420

the agricultural household.

Next slide, please.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000422

As we have seen so far,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000423

the agriculture and fishery sector creates value,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000424

yet food insecurity,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000425

poverty and vulnerability still persist.

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000426

Next slide, please.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000427

This persistent challenge

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000428

can be traced to fundamental bottleneck

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000429

across the agriculture

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000430

and fisheries value chain.

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000431

With shrinking agricultural land,

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000432

inadequate irrigation,

high input costs,

To reduce post-harvest losses and improve efficiency, the Department continues to invest

in processing and storage facilities and provide critical post-harvest machinery and equipment.

address oversupply in crops like carrots, onion, and make sure that we have zero importation

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000561

by 2008, the DA plans to strategically position cold storage facility across core key regions

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000562

because we need to prioritize.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000563

Moving further on trade deficit, the agriculture sector recorded trade deficits of $11.12 billion

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000564

in 2025, representing an improvement of about 5 percent compared to previous year.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000565

We are doing well. Trade deficit has gone down by 5 percent.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000566

Despite this encouraging development, trade deficit remains substantial.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000567

Bridging this gap will require sustained effort for export expansion while aggressively boostering

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000568

local yield to ensure that importation goes down.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000569

Looking at the composition of agricultural trade, exports remain heavily on few commodities.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000570

Number one is coconut, where we have the highest number of poverty incidents, by the way.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000571

Second is banana, pineapple, and pineapple.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000572

On the import side, animal products and animal oils appear to be at the highest peak.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000573

Next slide, please.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000574

A simple simulation demonstrates a clear potential to substantially narrow the country's agricultural

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000575

deficit in the coming years, and I would like to thank Congress for passing the Animal

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000576

Industry Reform Law, or AIDCA, which provided 20 billion for the animal industry.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000577

We believe that through this law, we can narrow down the importation requirement.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000578

By sustaining 5% of the annual growth rate in agricultural export, while gradually cutting

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000579

agricultural imports by 5%, we will be able to reduce the cost of agricultural exports

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000580

by year 2008.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000581

The trade best deficit can shrunk to about 44%.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000582

We already did 11, so hopefully we can do 44.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000583

This projection reflects expected progress, particularly in achieving livestock and poultry

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000584

self-sufficiency under AIDCA framework.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000585

Again, we would like to thank Congress for passing that important bill.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000586

Next slide, please.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000587

This accomplishment demonstrates a clear potential to substantially narrow the country's agricultural

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000588

deficit in the coming years, and I would like to thank Congress for passing the animal

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000589

industry reform law, which demonstrated significant progress in addressing logistics, market

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000590

access bottlenecks through improved roads, bridges, flatlanding facilities, cold storage,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000591

and ice plants.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000592

Despite these gains, persistent gaps remain in the cold value chain.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000593

Moving forward, expanding cold value chain systems must complement investments in roads,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000594

ports, storage facilities.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000595

to close the remaining infrastructure gap and ensure these efforts will yield higher

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000596

return for local fishers.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000597

Now, looking at the budget, Mr. Chair, although the Department's agriculture overall budget

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000598

has expanded significantly during the PBBM administration, its share in the national

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000599

budget has remained relatively low, averaging just 2.6% over the past two decades.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000600

PAO data underscores this gap, showing the Philippines allocated 2.84% in 2023 and 3.33%

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000601

in 2024.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000602

We have lower expenditure priorities compared to our regional peers like China, Vietnam,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000603

Thailand, Cambodia, and Bangladesh.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000604

Now, let me just focus a little bit on Indonesia, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000605

A big factor that we are looking at is in the case of Indonesia, because in the case

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000606

of Indonesia, their expenditure is the same, 2.6% of their annual budget.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000607

However, Indonesia's focus on agricultural extension in 2022.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000608

The robust extension services served as a vital mechanism for technology transfer and

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000609

farmer decision support.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000610

And as a result, Indonesia is no longer importing rice in 2025.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000611

That is why, Mr. Chair, members of Congress, thank you for working heavily on this agriculture

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000612

extension system that is currently pending before Congress.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000613

On the priority legislative measures.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000614

I'm just listing down, Mr. Chair, the request of the Department of Agriculture.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000615

We believe that alongside a robust budget, we'll require structural reforms by way of

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000616

law and legislation.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000617

And so, we have a list of our wish for this Congress, and hopefully, combined with proper

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000618

budgeting, we can really set the tide of agricultural growth.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000619

Thank you.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000620

Before we proceed to FYI 2027 budget, we would also like to highlight the key strategic

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000621

framework, policy direction, and reform priorities of the current administration and set that

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000622

set by the Secretary that guides the formulation of our budget.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000623

Medyo mahaba po ito, pero I'll just list it down.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000624

Number one is this one, nutritious food, but at the same time, ensuring that there is income

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000625

on the part of those who produce.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000626

That is the overarching framework as mentioned by our Secretary.

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000628

Key result areas.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000629

We are not just looking at budget, we're looking at KRAs.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000630

What will be the KRAs for this budget that we are requesting, Mr. Chair?

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000631

And we have five of them.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000632

Number one of which is enhanced productivity, increased income, and most importantly, poverty

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000633

reduction.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000634

Next slide, please.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000635

We also set up a criteria for evaluating all our PAP to ensure that programs and budgets

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000636

are properly aligned and that no centavo is wasted.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000637

These core policy shift anchors the department broader reform agenda.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000638

Taken together, they establish the strategic policy reference for guiding resources prioritization,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-000639

and we are looking to implement it.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000657

overall the agri sector shows a reduction of around 35 billion 0.3 million pesos or a decrease

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000658

of 11.9 percent

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000659

this is comparing the 2026 and 2027 nep for the details of the da budget

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000660

the total da budget for 2027 is 198.4 billion pesos this is a decrease of 17.2 billion or

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000664

but this was reduced um to 298.4 billion for 2027 or a reduction of around 62 billion

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000665

pesos for 2027 now for by expense allocation we can show this is shown on the upper right side of

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000666

the slide uh mr chair uh the agriculture budget is classified into three expense class

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000667

personal services capital outlay and maintenance and operating expenses

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000668

the bulk of the da budget is allocated

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000669

maintenance and operating expenses which gets the,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000670

which shares the bulk of the DA intervention

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000671

in terms of seeds, fertilizers, training and other inputs.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000672

While the capital outlay component

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000673

consists of the infrastructure and equipment

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000674

and the agriculture, machinery and equipment.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000675

This is 33.34% share of the total DA budget.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000676

This includes also the infrastructure,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000677

major bulk of this is allocated to farm to market roads.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000678

The PS budget is of course,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000679

refers to the salaries and wages of the DA employees

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000680

from the central office down to the regional offices

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000681

and the salary.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000682

These are the salaries and wages of the attached agencies.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000683

So the total DA budget as shown in this slide has decreased from $215 billion to $198 billion

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000684

or a total reduction of 8% for the whole DA, including the attached corporation.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000685

On the next slide, it shows the budget summary of the DA budget by cost structure.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000686

So by cost structure, it will show you the budget of the DA in accordance with the cost structure

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000687

as appearing in the NEP and as appearing in the GAA.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000688

So for the DA budget, this consists of the general administration and support services,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000689

which refers, of course, to the personal services component of the budget,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000690

support to operations,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000691

which consists of,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000692

the activities that supports the operations of the whole DA,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000693

and the operations budget, which gets the bulk of the DA budget.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000694

Under the operations budget, it shows the programs and activities,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000695

including the PAPs on production support,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000696

provision of training and education and extension services,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000697

and provision of agriculture,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000698

machineries and equipment.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000699

It also shows under operations the locally funded projects of DA and the foreign assisted projects.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000700

So this consists of the new appropriations for DA,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000701

and also included in the budget are the retirement and life insurance premium,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000702

and the special accounts in the general fund of the DA,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000703

which refers to the earmarked revenues that are intended,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000704

for specific purposes, under special laws.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000705

Also included is the budgetary support to government corporations.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000706

These are in the form of subsidies to government corporations,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000707

and the special accounts also,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000708

which includes the coconut trust fund and the Tobiko fund.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000709

So for the budget corporations,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000710

for the budget summary of the DA,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000711

it shows that the reduction in the budget is primarily,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000712

on the operations,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000713

not on the operations component.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000714

Okay, next slide please.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000715

So the slide shows the budget of the DA,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000716

by operating or functional offices or,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000717

and the touch agencies of the DA.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000718

This consists of the Office of the Secretary,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000719

Agricultural Credit Policy Council,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000720

the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000721

asr-000723

and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000729

Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000730

and the Philippine Fiber Industry Development Authority.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000731

So it shows also the decline in the budget

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000732

of all the attached agencies,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000733

except for BEFAR,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000734

Philippine Center for Post-Harvest Development,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000735

and the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000736

and the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000737

which again increases in their respective budget.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000738

For the BEFAR,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000739

included in the increase in their budget

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000740

are the crayfish projects,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000741

the mega hatcheries, the shellfish,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000742

desperation, solar power, ice plants,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000743

dry dock, and the BEFAR Quick Response Fund.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000744

So BEFAR has proposed for a separate Quick Response Fund,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000745

which has been approved by the DPM.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000746

For the attached corporations,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000747

there are eight attached corporations

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000748

under the administrative supervision of the DA.

asr-000749

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000756

All of these corporations,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000757

except for that,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000758

NTA has suffered a decline.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000759

Okay, by banner programs,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000760

these are the banner programs shown in this slide,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000761

undertaken by the DA.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000762

We have the National Rice Program,

asr-000766

So there are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000767

banner programs of the DA.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000768

It shows, again, a decline in all of the banner programs,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000769

except for the organic agriculture,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000770

which has a slight increase of around 0.45%.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000771

Okay, for locally funded projects,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000772

so we have several locally funded projects.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000773

Some of these are ongoing projects,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000774

and some are new projects,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000775

and the new projects that are covered,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-000776

by special laws.

On behalf of the National Irrigation Administration, we are honored to present our fiscal year

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000869

2027 budget proposal.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000870

This proposal aims to accelerate the development of new irrigation systems, rehabilitate and

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000871

restore existing facilities, expand climate-resilient irrigation technologies, and strengthen the

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000872

sustainability and reliability of irrigation services nationwide.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000873

Our fiscal year 2027 budget proposal is firmly anchored on NIA's seven-point strategic agenda,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000874

which serves as the strategic framework guiding the agency priorities and investments.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000875

These seven strategic agendas include the irrigation infrastructure development, the

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000876

Irrigators Association capacity building, climate smart farming systems, management

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000877

and governance, monitoring and evaluation, capability building of human resources, and

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000878

strategic communication and advocacy.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000879

These strategic priorities ensure that NEA's investments go beyond the construction and

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000880

rehabilitation of irrigation facilities.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000881

They also focus on strengthening farmers' organizations, promoting climate-resilient

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000882

technologies, enhancing institutional efficiency, developing human resources, and improving

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000883

stakeholders' engagement.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000884

Because of this integrated approach, NEA is committed to improving the infrastructure,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000885

infrastructure, and irrigation facilities.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000886

In addition to these efforts, NEA aims to deliver sustainable irrigation services that contribute

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000887

to increase agricultural productivity, food security, and improve livelihoods for Filipino

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000888

farmers.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000889

The National Irrigation Master Plan, or NMIP, for 2020-2030 serves as the country's strategic

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000890

blueprint for irrigation development.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-000891

This provides a comprehensive framework for expanding and modernizing irrigation systems

Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001181

dahil sa habagat at sunod-sunod na bagyo,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001182

tinatayang nasa 2.5 billion pesos

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001183

ang agricultural damage.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001184

At sa presentation nga ng DA,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001185

sinabi nila na yung estimated damage and losses

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001186

from 2024 hanggang ngayong taon

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001187

ay nasa 114 billion pesos

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001188

na nakaka-apekto sa halos 3 million

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

para tulungan ang mga affected farmers and fisherfolk?

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001196

Mr. Chair,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001197

Mr. Chair,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001198

for next year, sa 2027,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001199

mas nakahanda kami, no?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001200

Nakausap, nagpulong kami kahapon actually

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001201

with the President,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001202

and doon yung DBM and other government agencies.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001203

And,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001204

pagdating sa mga tulong sa tao

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001205

in terms of yung support sa immediate needs,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001206

parang may kanya-kanya na kaming assignment, no?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001207

Basically, DSW will take care of yung immediate needs

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001208

sa food and shelter.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001209

DOLE will take care of yung rehabilitation.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001210

Meanwhile, the DA,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001211

we are, bigyan ng budget kami, of course,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001212

sa QRF namin para mapabilis.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001213

At nabigyan ng instruction ang DBM,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001214

Mr. Chair, na pag nangyari ganyan,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001226

hindi na maghihintay ng mahabang panahon para ma-release yung Quick Response Fund.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001227

And basically, yung QRF namin will be used for yung replanting na tinatawag, no?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001228

Pagdating sa seeds, tsaka yung abono na kailangan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001229

But meanwhile, we're still trying to shorten yung sa indemnification payment ng PCIC,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001230

among others, tsaka yung mga loan programs na available like yung sa SURE natin for the affected areas, no?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001231

Of course, meron din taming, for this year, meron din kami na may na-allocate din sa amin ng dole na certain amount

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001232

na pwede naming, lalo lang sa mga fisher folks na hindi makapaglaot dahil sa lakas ng habagat,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001233

meron kaming, pwede kaming magbigay ng tupad konti.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001234

Through dole, of course, no? Para doon sa mga, and others.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001235

Then, doon sa El Niño response din, meron kami na may pasok na 6.7 billion na pondo ngayon

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001236

to be ready for the El Niño and that is one plus yung sa fuel issue.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001237

So, half of that will be for fuel subsidy and the other half will be for a transport subsidy.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001238

Yung para matulungan yung mga farmers and fisher folks na madala yung kanilang mga produkto at lower cost to the markets.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001239

Among others, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001240

Mr. Chair, may indemnification, meron din loans, no?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001241

Pero pagdating sa mga subsidies, meron ba kayong naging proposal para may direkta na production subsidy

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001242

sa ating mga bumabangon na farmers at fisher folks?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001243

Na-mention nyo din po yung role dito ng DSWD.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001244

Meron na ba kayo ngayong figure?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001245

Kung magkano?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001246

O yung nakalaan para sa calamity compensation sa affected farmers and fisher folks?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001247

Well, sa 2027, the idea is through this package is about 10 billion din.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001248

Which partly will be under presidential assistance for farmers and fisher folks.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001249

Plus yung QRF na pwede naming i-replenish, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001250

Mr. Chair, yung presidential assistance kasi kulang na kulang.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001251

Pagdating sa production subsidy, may mga proposals dito sa House.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001252

Na 80,000 no kada magsasaka per cropping season.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001253

Meron din pong nasa 30 to 40,000 kada mangingisda.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001254

Ayan, kaya yan po dapat ay sa DA na mismo manggaling na ang kailangan ng mga magsasaka at mangingisda.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001255

Hindi po dagdag na pa-utang, kundi dagdag na direkta ang subsidiya.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001256

Ngayon naman, Mr. Chair, nais ko pong magtanong dun sa mga pagkakataon na napipilitang magtapon, magsira,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001257

o iwan ng mga magsasaka yung kanilang ani.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001258

Dahil wala pong bumibili.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001259

Dahil napakababa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001260

O dahil kulang na kulang ang storage facilities.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001261

At mahal din yung gastos pagdating sa logistics.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001262

Lalo na po nitong pagsirit ng presyo ng langis.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001263

Ilan po ba ang documented cases ng Department of Agriculture tungkol dito?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001264

At meron ba kayong naging mekanismo para naman humaisal ba itong mga produkto ng ating mga magsasaka?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001265

Mr. Chair, well recognized niyong ating mga proponente.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001266

Ang problema sa, like recently dito sa Habagat, tumuhumal ang benta sa mga merkado sa ating mga palengke.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001267

Kaya medyo tumuhumal din yung bentahan ng high value crops galing sa Benguet.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001268

At ang nadesisyon na ito actually earlier this year na magtatayo tayo ng cold storage na 5 mega cold storage

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001269

at processing center dun sa lupa ng Benguet State University

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001270

as one of the solutions to have a 15 day buffer stocking area and processing for yung mga excess production natin.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001271

Meanwhile, meron din tayong food hub na ipapabid na sa Clark with the 2026 gaan na 2 billion pesos

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001272

by next, ah this month, September, no?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001273

So that will be completed.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001274

So that will be complimentary plus yung tinatapos natin na FTI na 500 million na mega cold storage sa Taguig.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001275

So that is part of the network na tinatayo natin for the high value crops.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001276

At para nga meron tayong shock absorber at storage systems to address yung spikes or highs and lows ng production.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001277

And of course, pati yung mga weather to address yung effects nito sa mga weather disturbances din.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001278

So that we will have market stability among others.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001279

Ah, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001280

Mr. Chair, hingin po natin yung ulat ng DA pagdating dito sa pagpapayaman ng ating tulong pagdating sa logistics chain natin sa pagkain.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001281

At dagdag na rin po yung matagal na nating panawagan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001282

Sana naman yung DA na rin yung manguna sa pagtatanggal ng VAT at excise tax sa langis.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001283

Dahil kayo mismo yung pinaka nakakaalam, di ba?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001284

Kung gaano po kailangan-kailangan ng mga magsasakal.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001285

At may isda ang krudo pagdating sa kanilang produksyon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001286

Ngayon naman, Mr. Chair, nananatili pa rin ho ang Pilipinas na number one na rice importer sa buong mundo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001287

At sa harap ngayon ng bantanang super-aluminium, climate emergency, mga gera, at mga potential na disruption sa ating global rice supply.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001288

Hindi ba delikado para sa ating food security na ang Pilipinas po ang laki pa rin ng pag-asa ng kanyang dependence sa ibang bansa para sa ating panggawa?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001289

Ano na yung pagkain? Ano ho ang aksyon ng DA para rito?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001290

Mr. Chair, definitely, ang pangarap po natin ay mabawasan yung ating dependency sa importasyon.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001291

At napaka-importante hung ma-suportahan natin ang NIA sa pag-irrigate ng more of our flatlands na tinatawag, lalo na sa rice production.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001292

Meanwhile, tuloy-tuloy naman yung ating development of the...

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001293

for use ng ating development ng inbred seeds natin at pati yung locally produced hybrid seeds natin.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001294

At actually, unting-unting tumataas ang ating yield per hectare base sa datos.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001295

So, we're in the right path but we really need more irrigated land.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001296

As far as food security natin for rice for year 2026, I'm happy to announce na we are quite secure.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001297

Sa ating rice requirements till end of 2026.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001298

At that is because yung...

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001299

As of last week, 3.8 million tons na ang na-import ng ating bansa dahil ito ay liberalized.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001300

But pumasok na rin ho, nag-umpisa na ho ang harvest season din natin ngayon sa ating mga palayan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001301

Like sa sarili kong farm sa Nueva Ecija, nag-harvest na last week.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001302

So far, maayos naman.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001303

At of course, it can be better sana but then basang-basa kasi palay.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001304

Pero we are seeing na although may tama tayo na about 60,000 hectares as of yesterday,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001305

but mukhang maayos pa rin yung harvest natin itong harvest season na to.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001306

So that should carry us over until end of the year.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001307

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001308

Mr. Chair, hindi lang sa bigas mataas ang ating food importation.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001309

Kung sa taon 1990 hanggang 2022, ang bigas po lumaki ng from 9 to 23 percent.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001310

Sa mais, 6.7 to 10.1 percent.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001311

Sa beef, 8.5 to 50 percent.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001312

Sa pork, 0.1 to 30.4 percent.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001313

Chicken, 0.1 to 11.9.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001314

At sa galunggong po, maski galunggong, ang taas po ng ating import dependence na ngayon ay nasa 23.4 percent.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001315

Sa DA na mismo nang galing po last year, Mr. Chair, na hindi po para sa Pilipinas ang liberalization.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001316

Ang full liberalization.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001317

Kaya ang dapat yung budget natin ay sumunod din doon sa kagustuhan natin na mabaliktad yung liberalization ng agriculture.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001318

Pero ang nakikita po natin ngayon sa budget, puro budget cut po ang national rice program, national corn program.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001319

Paano po natin maabot ang pagpapayaman ng lokal na agrikultura kung puro budget cut ang nakita natin ngayon sa sektor na agrikultura?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001320

Ngayon naman, Mr. Chair, tungkol po sa mga agricultural products,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001321

lands na maaari po na maapektuhan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001322

ng Pax Silica Initiative?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001323

Nagsagawa na po ba ang DA ng assessment

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001324

sa magiging effect nito?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001325

Lalo't lalo na

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001328

na magpapropose ang agency

proteksyonan ang mga agricultural lands

asr-001411

Magkano ang pondo na nakalaan

para sa 2027?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001413

Mr. Chair, yung sa geofencing

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001414

it does not need so much funds

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001415

at dun sa digitalization namin

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001416

gagamitin yan

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001417

and from our program funds

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001418

ang idea namin

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001419

let's say as far as

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001420

rice is concerned

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001421

na-identify na namin sa DA

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001422

na the country needs

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001423

kahit na tumaki pa rin ang

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001424

population natin

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001425

at this present trajectory

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001426

3 million hectares of rice land

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001427

na flat, no?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001428

So, yun, technically

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001429

pinaplano na ng DA

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001430

kung saan yan

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001431

at para ma-geofence na

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001432

at ma-secure

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001433

at ma-present niya

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001434

na ito, hindi na pwedeng galawin

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001435

for our food security.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001436

I-identify din natin

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001437

ang onion lands,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001438

corn lands,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001439

sugar lands,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001440

and others

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001441

para nga maprotektahan na yun

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001442

and anything outside of that

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001443

I guess,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001444

pwede lalo na yung mga

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001445

above 8% slope

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001446

na pwedeng pang solar,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001447

pang other uses

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001448

and of course,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001449

depende sa height sa slope

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001450

tsaka depende na rin

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001451

sa type of lupa

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001452

may scientific basis din yan

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001453

kaya yung pati sa water

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001454

moisture retention ng lupa

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001455

to identify kung ano yung talagang

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001456

kailangan natin for each type of crop

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001457

ito si geofence ho namin yan

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001458

and recommend to all the stakeholders.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001459

Mr. Chair,

hingin natin para sa submission

asr-001463

para sa geofencing program na ito.

This is a welcome step,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001465

Mr. Chair.

Source

asr-001466

We believe that this is a step

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001467

in the right direction

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001468

but geofencing program

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001469

is not enough.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001470

We believe that there should be

asr-001471

stricter guidelines

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001472

on land use conversion,

strengthened protection

natin para sa pagkain,

asr-001479

para sa kabuhayan,

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Secretary, thank you for your help, pero mukhang feeling

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001528

namin na pag-iiwanan pa rin kami, lalo na sa district namin. We are a poverty-stricken,

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

and sobrang hirap. And having said that, I'd like to ask the NIA, kasi two years,

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001530

last year, zero ang nakuha namin sa district namin. Last year, mga 40 ata. Tapos this

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001531

year, I was so disappointed, kasi ilang taon mo nang sinasabi sa akin na bibigyan mo

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001532

ng pansin yung district ko. This year, seven million. Can you explain to me the method

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001533

to this madness?

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001534

Admin, please answer.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001535

Yes.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001536

Mr. Chair, kung napansin niyo po kanina, Mr. Chair, sa aming presentation, ang aming

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001537

request para ho, naintindihan natin, uulitin ko po, naintindihan natin ang concern ng

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001538

bawat congressman, talagang dapat naman, bawat distrito ay may mga magsasaka naman

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001539

ang nangailangan ng maasahang irigasyon at bawat deserving community.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001540

Talagang mabigyan ng patas at napagkakataon upang mabigyan ng pondo. Pero kung napansin

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001541

niyo, sa aming request ay na 200, almost 250 billion. Ang lumabas lamang sa ating due

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001542

to fiscal limitation po ay 46 billion. Nandyan pa po yung ating mga pang-operation, yung

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001543

pang-sweldo natin, PS, yung ating operational maintenance.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001544

Pambayad po sa kuryente, sa fuel ng mga pump irrigations natin. At huwag po natin kakalimutan

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001545

po na may mga, kung mapansin niyo po sa budget namin, ang nakalista po doon yung mga

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001546

ongoing projects. Meron na pong contractual obligation, ang national irrigation sa ating

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001547

mga ongoing projects. Kaya kailangan po na ito ay nakapriority rin sa ating chair one.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001548

Kaya, pero Mr. Chair, mayroon na po sa ating mga ongoing projects. Mayroon na po sa ating

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001549

chair ang totoo niyan. Sa loob na po ng tatlong taon, ay tinutulungan po ng kongreso

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001550

ang NIA para tumaas ang aming budget. Kaya ngayon pa lamang po ay gusto na ko lang mag-thank

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001551

you sa inyo in advance, lalong-lalo na po sa ating representative Amatong, sa tulong

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001552

po ninyo sa NIA. Alam ko, hindi nyo po papabayaan ang ating, hindi po para sa ahensya natin,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001553

ating mga bayaneng magsasaka. Salamat po, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001554

Mr. Chair, ito yung problema pag politiko yung head ng agency, eh. Pinobola tayo, eh.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001555

Mr. Chair, to give you context, last year lowest ako, tapos this year lowest din yata ako,

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001556

tapos syempre hindi na ako lowest ngayon kasi seven million yung sa district ko. Zero

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001557

sa first, zero sa second. Sa district namin, ay sa region namin, ako yung pinakamalaking

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001558

irrigable land. Yun po.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001559

Tapos titignan ninyo, magkano yung allocation? Sa 47 billion. Magkano yung central office?

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001560

16 billion. One-third goes to, hindi pa ba yung i-allocate sa mga districts yun? Kalokohan, eh.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001561

Okay, Mr. Chair. Ang total proposed budget po natin sa district ni Congressman Amatong,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001562

kung i-check nyo yung aming proposal, ay 700...

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001563

At minsan nilang, Mr. Chair, sasabihin niya, continuing project ang gagawin. Paano ka magkakaroon ng continuing project

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001564

sa district ko? Eh, wala kayo na umpisahan, eh.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001565

Again, Mr. Chair, ang total proposed budget po natin sa district po ni Congressman Amatong

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001566

ay 790 million, ako, Congressman. Kaya lang, dapat nyo rin maintindihan po, again, ulitin

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001567

ko po, ang madalas lamang po na mapuntuhan sa niya ay yung mga cheer one, yung ongoing

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001568

projects. Kaya, napakahalaga po na nandito tayo sa kongreso dahil nasa inyo naman po,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001569

ang power of the purse. Kung mailagay po natin, po, Congressman, yung proposed budget natin

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-001570

or project sa cheer one, sa ongoing, ay next year. Ay sigurado ko naman...

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001571

Mr. Chair, admin, meron kang existing projects sa district ko. Meron ka rin mga damage na

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

mga areas doon, pwede mong ayusin. Ito for context, Mr. Chair, 506 yata ang na-approve

Number two, sabi mo bababa ka so that you will see the problems.

sa agricultural

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-001863

because of the cut, how do you intend

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-001864

to address to those

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-001865

budget items that were cut?

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-001866

Specifically, po, in the area of

asr-001867

agricultural machinery, equipment,

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-001868

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001869

Ang malaking na cut namin,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001870

Mr. Chair, is yung

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001871

FMR by 17 billion.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001872

Yung sa agri-machineries

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001873

namin, wala masyado kaming

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001874

cut, actually.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001875

So, tuloy-tuloy lang yung ating

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001876

mechanization,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001877

Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001878

Yun ang base sa

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001879

data namin.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-001880

So, tingin nyo naman,

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-001881

hindi naman nyo kailangan

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-001882

sagutin yung cut na yun.

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-001883

Okay lang, or kailangan po

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-001884

magbalik, gano'n po sana

Source

Rep. Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao

asr-001885

ang kakailanganin ninyo?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001886

Mas magandang maibalik yung sa FMR,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001887

dahil napaka-importante, kahit

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001888

saan kami pumunta

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001889

na lugar, no?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001890

Lahat po ng farmers, pati fisher folks,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001891

yan ang request,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001892

FMR. Para mas mapadali

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001893

ang kanilang buhay, mas mapamura

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001894

ang transport nila.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001895

Of course,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001896

mas gumaganda rin ang ekonomiya

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001897

ng bayan, mga munisipyo,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001898

dahil sa mga FMR.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001899

So, I think it is one

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001900

very important component

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001901

ng

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

At sa kabuwan ng Pilipinas eh hindi pa rin po na ibibigay ngayon, as of this moment, yung bagay na ngayon.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001972

Mr. Chair, ang problema natin sa fertilizer ngayon is, well, sa Region 3 specifically, dalawang beses na nag-failed bidding sa inyong lugar.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001973

Kaya at nahihirapan yung hindi makapag-procure.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001974

Sa ngayon, may

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001975

may going through

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001976

yung negotiated

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001977

purchase na dahil nga sa dalawang failed bidding and

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001978

hopefully ma-address yan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001979

And of course, meron issue tayo sa

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001987

katulad sa

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001988

ang balita namin, yung China

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001990

exports to us.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-001991

So we had to source from

Mr. Chair,

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002217

basically, yung aming

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002218

budget na pinupos,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002219

it is based on a cap,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002220

because yan yung fiscal space natin.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002221

But then, of course,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002222

I think meron pang

asr-002223

nadagdagan ng budget ang DA

dahil nga lalo sa mga

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002230

calamities.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002231

So,

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002232

yung crisis na nangyari.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002233

So,

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002235

So,

ang total dinagdag sa atin?

Ngayon, hindi nagdagdag sa atin this year.

At meron pang idadagdag na

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002250

I think an additional 10 billion

asr-002252

facilities to be more climate resilient.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002254

So, ang nakikita namin

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002255

ay the

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002256

2027 budget, while

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002257

it is at this level

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002258

at this time because of

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002259

yung fiscal space na

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002260

provided to the DA,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002261

tingin ko, baka madagdagan din yan

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002262

sa, maybe sa

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002263

BICAM, kung paano, depende na sa

asr-002264

ibang mga pangangailangan

na isusulong na ating Kongreso

asr-002268

Thank you, Secretary, sa paglilinaw na yun.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002269

Kasi kaisa niyo po ako na ipaglaban yung mas mataas na budget sa DA.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002270

Ayoko lang po kasi,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002271

pinipress-release kami dito ni Secretary

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002272

Kim De Leon eh.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002273

Dami niya pang sinasabi na adjective,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002274

dapat budget makatao, pero yung budget niyo po.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002275

Uy, nag-time na agad ako, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002276

Uy, nag-time na agad ako, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002277

Bilis na.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002278

Pero yung budget sa agrikultura, nabawasan.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002279

So, kaisa niyo po ako dyan sa laban na yan,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002280

Secretary.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002281

Sunod ko po na tanong, ay nakapatungkol naman sa niya.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002282

Ako po nagtatanong

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002283

bilang isang ordinaryong manggagawa

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002284

at meron po kaming mga constituent

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002285

ng mga magsasaka.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002286

Gusto po namin malaman,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002287

ilan po ba sa irrigable land

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002288

ang non-irrigated pa?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002289

Yes, Mr. Chair. Actually, doon sa

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002290

National Irrigation Master

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002291

Plan, ay

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002292

nasa

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002293

3.2 million

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002294

na potentially irrigable po,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002295

ay nasa around 1 million

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002296

pa po ang hindi irrigated.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002297

So, sa total na irrigable land, ilan pang

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002298

porsyento yung non-irrigated?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002299

Well, nung nagsagawa po kami ng

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002300

Regional Irrigation Master Plan, nadagdagan pa po

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002301

ng 1 million. So,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002302

matotal po, 2 million pa.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002303

Ang tanong ko po, ilan porsyento pa

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002304

ang non-irrigated sa irrigable land?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002305

Around doon po sa NIMP,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002306

30% pa po ang hindi irrigated.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002307

30%? Gano'n na po katagal na ganito

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002308

ang sitwasyon?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002309

Ang increase natin yearly is

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002310

1.5%

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002311

yearly.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002312

Annually? Annually po.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002313

Doon po, may binabanggit

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002314

kayong master plan, di ho ba?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002315

Paano nyo dinidetermine yan?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002316

Yan, paglalagay ng mga irrigation project.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002317

Well,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002318

doon sa National Irrigation

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002319

Master Plan po, identified,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002320

yung mga areas na nasa 3%

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002321

lamang po ang slope.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002322

Yung hindi masyadong rolling.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002323

At doon po nakabase,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002324

yung 3.2 million

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002325

hectares po

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002326

na irrigable natin.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002327

Administrator, kaya ako po tinatanong to

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002328

kasi sinusundan ko lang naman yung tanong

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002329

ng mga kasama ko dito.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002330

Ulit-ulit na lang yan eh.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002331

Yung irrigable land,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002332

hindi naman nakukumpleto yung mga

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002333

irrigation project.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002334

Tapos, halimbawa, nagdedetermine kayo

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002335

sa maglalagay ng irrigation project.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002336

Ayun nga, kanina, sinabi ni Congressman Amatong.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002337

Ang laki ng irrigable land sa kanila

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002338

pero ang baba ng binigay na

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002339

budget.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002340

Paano nyo po dinidetermine?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002341

Pwede nyo po bang palawigin?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002342

Paano dinidetermine yan?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002343

Anong may mga priority ba yan?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002344

Na mga lugar?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002345

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002346

Actually, may formula kami dyan.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002347

I-assign ang formula natin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002348

Pakibigyan lang kay...

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002349

Pakisagot lang ng ating

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002350

Deputy Administrator yung formula,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002351

Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002352

Yung...

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002356

Hello po, magandang hapon.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002357

So, actually po,

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002358

ang mga criteria po namin...

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-002359

Sir, please state your name

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-002360

and position.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002361

I'm Robert Mark Revillame po

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002362

from the National Irrigation Division Manager

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002363

from the Project Planning Division po.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002364

Magandang hapon po.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002365

So, one of the key criteria

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002366

of the weighted criteria,

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002367

30% is the contribution

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002368

to irrigation development.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002369

So, we digest it first

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002370

kung ano po yung mas malaking

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002371

hectare age.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002372

So, the first one is

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002373

ilan po yung hectarya.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002374

So, ang pinakamalaki po namin

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002375

hectare age is

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002376

around 10,000 hectares

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002377

with a weight of

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002378

around 22 points.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002379

At the same time,

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002380

we also take into account

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002381

as stated nga po

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002382

ng aming administrator,

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002383

we have the

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002384

Regional Irrigation Master Plan.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002385

So, sa Regional Irrigation Master Plan,

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002386

it was also coordinated

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002387

with our DA.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002388

Meron po tayong

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002389

pag less than 60% po

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002390

ang irrigation development.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002391

So, yun po,

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002392

ang mas priority natin.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002393

Then, second,

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002394

of course, we need to look.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002395

Yun nga po, malit po

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002396

ang ating fiscal space.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002397

So, looking with the fiscal space,

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002398

we look into the projects

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002399

whether it is

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002400

economically viable.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002401

So, this is aligned

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002402

with the DEP-DEV criteria.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002403

Next, we also incorporate

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002404

the stage of development.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002405

Ano po ba yung stage na niya?

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002406

Meron po ba siyang

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002407

feasibility study,

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002408

detailed engineering?

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002409

Then, next,

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002410

we also incorporate

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002411

yun po,

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002412

government prioritization project.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002413

So, kung meron po bang

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002414

pumasok na po ba siya sa

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002415

PIP, sa TRIP,

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002416

it's also included in the NIMP.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002417

Next is, of course,

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002418

hindi naman po natin pwedeng

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002419

ipagpasabahala or parang

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002420

wagpansinin

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002421

yun pong mga requirements natin

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002422

when it comes to the statutory

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002423

requirements. Of course, yung sa

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002424

DANR, NCIP, yung mga ROA.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002425

And then lastly, we also incorporate may mas mataas po ang weight, may points din po when it is in the GEDA or yung geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas po.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002426

And recently, of course, with the drought incidences, we also incorporated it for the prioritization process.

Source

NIA Project Planning Division Manager Robert Mark Revillame

asr-002427

Mr. Chair, salamat po.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002428

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002429

Sir, alam niyo po, pag pinakikinggan ko explanation, dapat kung susundin lang yung master plan, lahat ng irrigable land, meron ng irigasyon eh.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002430

Alam niyo po, 1963 pa, itinayo yung NIA, kalahating siglo na, hindi pa rin na bibigyan ng irigasyon yung mga lugar na dapat bigyan ng irigasyon.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002431

Alam niyo po kung anong sinasabi, minumura po ng mga magsasaka yung NIA sa ground.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002432

Magtatayo kayo ng irigasyon, wala naman tubig.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002433

Doon sa may sobrang tubig.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002434

Hindi naman kayo gagawa ng proyekto para ma-maximize yung sobrang tubig, administrator.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002435

So, kalahating siglo na ito, Mr. Chair, ang NIA, pinupunto ko po dito, paulit-ulit na lang na problema, yung irigasyon.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002436

Tapos, sasabihin tayo, meron namang master plan, eh kailan pa matatapos yung master plan na yan?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002437

Patay na lahat ng magsasaka, wala pa rin irigasyon.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002438

So, papaano po ang plano ng NIA para tupdin?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002439

Pero yun yung every year, 1% po ang naidadagdag. Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002440

Eh napakababa nun, Mr. Chair, abutin tayo kupong-kupong dito.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002441

Hindi pa ako buhay, problema na ng ano yan, mga magsasaka yan eh.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002442

Eh baka tumanda na ako at lahat dito, hindi pa rin matatapos yung problema ng irigasyon.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002443

Anong plano ng NIA, Mr. Chair?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002444

Admin, please answer.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002445

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002446

Kaya nga po, napansin nyo sa aming proposal kanina, para sana mayangat natin ng malaki ang ating cover aids,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002447

ay 250 billion mahigit ang budget na nire-request po natin, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002448

Kaya lang, dahil sa fiscal limitation,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002449

kaya lang tayo ng 46 billion.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002450

So kailangan po natin doon pagkasyahin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002451

At kung napansin po ninyo, Mr. Chair, sinabit naman namin yung aming budget proposal,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002452

karamihan po doon, ongoing, tier 1.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002453

Hindi po kami makakapagpasok halos ng bagong mga projects.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002454

Kaya tinatapos lamang po ng NIA yung mga ongoing projects po natin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002455

So kami naman po ay matindi po ang aming kriteria ngayon.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002456

Ano po? Bago namin ponduhan ang isang project.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002457

Kailangan sumunod siya doon sa aming kriteriya.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002458

Right project, right price, right quality.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002459

Sa right project po, ang kriteriya namin dyan, tao, lupa, tubig.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002460

May request ba ang mga tao?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002461

Dahil baka lagyan mo ng patubig, wala naman magsasaka.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002462

At ang NIA po kasi, very unique yung aming paggawa ng pundo, project.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002463

Dahil after po ng project, kailangan namin i-turn over sa ating mga farmers yung nagawang proyekto

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002464

para naman sa operation and maintenance.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002465

Ganon po yung sa NIA.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002466

So, kailangan.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002467

Kailangan may tao, tubig. Meron bang source ng tubig?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002468

At of course, pangatlo, yung lupa nga.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002469

Ilang hectares ba ito?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002470

Feasible ba ito na gawin doon sa gagastusin?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002471

So, again, Mr. Chair, madali po natin sabihin na tapos na sana po ito.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002472

Pero we should put our money where our mouth is.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002473

Thank you, Mr. Chair, doon sa sinabi ni Administrator.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002474

Kasi babanggitin na naman.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002475

Thank you, Mr. Chair, doon sa sinabi ni Administrator.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002482

Kasi wala namang mga public project level document trail sa mga NIA project.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002483

Paano niyo po i-explain ito?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002484

Yung tagging, yung transparency sa mga NIA projects, Mr. Chair?

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002485

Admin, please answer.

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002486

Ang project po natin ay nag-undergo po ito ng mga technical validation,

prioritization, costing, and assessment of implementation readiness na po.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

Ang project po, lahat po ng project na NIA,

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

ay subject to DBM evaluation and budget rules,

Nagre-report din po kami sa Congress.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002496

And of course, yung aming,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002497

strict po kami doon sa tinatawag naming right project, right price, right quality.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002498

Kaya po, unfair, yung NIA po, kung titignan niyo,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002499

wala naman po kami na i-report na cost projects.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002500

Wala naman pong substandard projects na i-report, ano po.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002501

In fact, noong nakaraan po, ay ininbita namin ang Senado,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002502

ang pamunuan ng Senado, para po personal napuntahan at inspeksyonin

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002503

ang construction methodology, ang implementation ng project ng NIA,

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002504

at kausapin mismo yung ating mga magsasaka kung meron silang reklamo sa NIA.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002505

E ito ang tuwa naman po ang pamunuan.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002506

So, I would like to extend the same invitation to the House.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002507

Puntahan po natin, pasyalan natin ang mga proyekto ng NIA.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002508

At para po, alam niyo po kasi ito, Mr. Chair,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002509

importante po kasi ito na hindi po ito kasi para sa ahensya namin,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002510

ang hinihingi namin tulong.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002511

Nakita naman po natin ang limited budget po ng NIA.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002512

Uulitin ko po, nagpapasalamat kami sa Congreso,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002513

dahil for the past three years, tinadagdagan niyo ang budget namin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002514

Pero ang appeal namin kasi dito, it's not for our agency,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002515

pero para po ito sa ating mga magsasaka.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002516

Tama po lahat ang concern ng ating mga congressman.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002517

Kailangan po natin lahat ang irigasyon, pero kailangan po natin magtulungan dito.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002518

Hindi mo ako pwedeng paghanapan po ng isang napakalaking accomplishment,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002519

pero napakaliit naman yung aming allocation.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002520

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002521

Mr. Administrator, huwag niyo naman ibatod dito sa Congreso.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002522

Pabalik mo dito at admin eh.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002523

Sa Congress yung problema eh.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002524

Sinasabi nyo, pinagmamalaki nyo, lakay yung substandard, lakay yung mga ghost project.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002525

E iba naman ang sinasabi ng mga magsasaka on the ground eh.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002526

E sasabi mo, hindi totoo, Administrator.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002527

Pero may disconnect sa kung anong nire-report ninyo sa nangyayari sa mga magsasaka on the ground.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002528

Kaya huwag niyo sisihin pabalik dito sa Congreso.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002529

Kaya nga tayo nagkakaroon ng hearing para mabusisi natin yung budget ninyo, yung inihingi ninyo.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002530

Sinasabi nyo, limited fiscal space.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002531

Tignan natin nasaan yung implementation gaps.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002532

Tama ba yun, Administrator?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002533

O kaya huwag niyo pong masamain, Administrator, kasi parang may namasama nyo eh.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002534

Hindi po, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002535

Actually, gusto ko lang liwanagin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002536

Hindi ko po ipinapasa sa Congreso ang problema ng...

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002537

Huwag ko, nagpapasalamat po ako sa inyong mga tulong po sa amin for the past three years.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002538

Dahil makikita po for the record, dinadagdagan po talaga ng Congreso yung aming budget.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002539

You have the power of the purse.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002540

Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002541

At doon po, nag-a-appeal ang NIA ng tulong.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002542

Hindi po namin binabato po ang sisi po sa Congreso.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002543

Bagkos, humihingo po kami ng tulong, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002544

Mr. Chair, makikihingi na lang po ako ng NIA Irrigation Projects under Agrarian Reform Fund listahan po.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002545

At yung guidelines dito sa ARF, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002546

Sana po maibigay agad ng NIA to Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002547

Will the NIA commit to...

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002548

Will that, Mr. Chair?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002549

Yes, Mr. Chair. We will submit it as of po. Thank you.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002550

Okay po. Mr. Chair, baubos na oras ko. Pero may ilang katanungan lang po ako sa DA ulit.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002551

Partikular naman po ito sa Coco Levy Fund, Sekretary.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002552

Noong nag-run po, nagkaroon ng committee hearing dito.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002553

Inaamendahan po yung batas.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002554

Doon po sa batas, ang gusto po ng mga magnunyog, Section 10 particularly, maisama sila sa Trust Fund Management Committee.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002555

Doon po ang sabi ng Department of Finance.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002556

Kaya nagagalit po ako dyan sa Department of Finance.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002557

Sabi, eh hindi naman daw dapat kailangan yung mga magnunyog kasama sa Trust Fund Management Committee.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002558

Eh laking kalukuhan nun, Sekretary.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002559

Papaanong hindi isasama yung mga magnunyog doon sa Trust Fund Management Committee

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002560

kung yung Coco Levy Fund, pera ng mga magnunyog, ipinagkatiwala lang sa gobyerno.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002561

Gusto ko pong malaman muli, makuha, ano po ang posisyon ng Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002562

ng PCA po, doon sa pag-amyenda particularly on Section 10

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002563

na dapat isama yung farmers representatives, yung mga magnunyog sa Trust Fund Management Committee.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002564

Mr. Secretary, please answer.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002565

Mr. Chair, as far as the DA is concerned,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002566

palagi namin kasama ang aming stakeholders, lalo na ang aming mga farmers sa lahat ng aming plano.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002567

So, definitely the DA's position is...

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002568

Isa lang kami ng mga magsasaka.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002569

So, mas magandang kasama sila.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002570

Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair, doon po sa assurance.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002571

Buti pa ang Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002572

May categorical position.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002573

Yung Department of Finance, mga luko-loko yung mga nandun eh.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002574

Pasensya, Mr. Chair, but I have to say this.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002575

Pero yung pera nila, ayaw isama yung mga magnunyog sa Trust Fund Management Committee.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002576

And I am very happy to hear that from our Secretary sa DA.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002577

Nakasangga ang DA ng mga magnunyog natin.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-002578

With that, Mr. Chair, second round po ako mamaya. Palista na lang po ako.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-002579

Okay, thank you.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

The Chair recognizes Rep. Marlo Bancoro from the majority.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002581

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002582

Good afternoon, Secretary Laurel. Good afternoon, everyone.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002583

Unang-una, Secretary Laurel, thank you very much doon sa commitment natin sa FISPORT.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002584

FISPORT.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002585

Nabigyan po tayo na ng three-year...

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002586

...implementation in the amount of 150 million.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002587

I just want to make it clear na sana po hindi talaga maputol kasi three-year do eh.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002588

So for the next year, may 60 million and that's succeeding year 2028-67.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002589

Kasi sayang rin yun yung plano natin na expansion kung hindi maputol.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002590

Yes, Mr. Chair. Nasa plano na ho yan, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002591

Thank you very much, Secretary.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002592

Second is salamat rin sa yung Hatchery, Mega Hatchery.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002593

And I am looking forward to...

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002594

...see you some of these days para makita mo, ano, one of these days, I mean, para makita mo talaga yung lugar kung saan itatayo natin yung Mega Hatchery.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002595

Ang pangatlo ko, Secretary Laurel, na problema natin, yung FMR.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002596

Last year, sa NEP, nabigyan po tayo ng apat kasi yung lugar namin, agricultural...

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002597

...province kami. So, in fact, yung na-validate natin is more than 200 farm-to-market roads.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002598

Apat lang yung naibigay sa atin. Unfortunately, nung lumabas ang GAA, dalawa ang nawala.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002599

So, if you recall, I went to your office. Sabi mo, hanapan mo ng paraan.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002600

Ang problema, nung tinignan ko ang NEP ngayon, dalawa lang ang nailagay sa akin.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002601

Yung commitment natin na nawala ang dalawa.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002602

Hindi naibalik.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002603

At what is worse there, Mr. Chairman, Secretary, yung dalawang naibigay nyo sa akin, 2026 budget,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002604

hindi pa na-implement ngayon dahil yung isa, o yung dalawa, in fact, may nagka-problema sa funding.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002605

Kasi, nung in-apply ng DPWH yung standard program works nila, nagkukulang.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002606

Kasi, yung lugar is swampy.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002607

So, that's why we agreed na ibalik ko na lang sa inyo, kayo na pang bahala.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002608

Yun na nga, nung gumawa ng program of works yung office nyo, lagpas.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002609

Kulang yung 15 million in one kilometer.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002610

So, sabi mo sa akin, kayo na bahala, dagdagan ninyo para matapos ang one kilometer.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002611

Kasi, people are expecting that project.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002612

Unfortunately, tinignan ko rin sa NEP ngayon, kulang ng 18 million para matapos.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002613

Hindi ko makita sa NEP kung...

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002614

Saan kayo kukuha ng source para matapos yun?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002615

Mr. Chair, yung una nga, apat yung ating naka-plano dyan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002616

But, of course, we were assuming the fiscal space na meron kami.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002617

Like, akala namin yung budget for 2027 is same as 2026 na 33.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002618

But, unfortunately, kalahati rin yung nakuha namin.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002619

But then, ngayon, sa ngayon,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002620

nabanggit ko rin nga talaga sa inyo na susubukan natin punuin yung natitirang kulang doon sa kilometro.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002621

At ang nakikita namin paraan is meron kaming nakikita na unimplementables sa FMR ng 2026.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002622

Doon namin planong kunin doon sa mga projects na hindi ma-implement.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002623

Dahil nga, let's say, dating pwedeng implement, tapos nabaha na ngayon at na-wash out.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002624

At hindi na pwedeng gawan ng kalye.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002625

Yun yung mga ganong klase yung nakikita namin.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002626

I will take note, Mr. Chair, and coordinate closely with Kong Bancoro on this matter.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002627

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002628

So, assured na tayo na matapos talaga yun kasi mahihiyan naman tayo sa mga tao na kulang, hindi tapos.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002629

Yung dalawang nawala ko, Mr. Chair, anong commitment natin doon?

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002630

Yung dalawang FMR natin na nawala?

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002631

Anong commitment natin na nawala?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002632

Yung dalawang nawala, sa ngayon, kung hindi madadagdagan ng FMR budget, Mr. Chair, ng DA for 2027,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002633

yun ang aming, kung pwedeng pagtulong-tulungan natin na madagdagan yung FMR budget sa final gaah, I think, yun ang isang paraan, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002634

Sige po, aasahan ko po yun, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002635

Tsaka susulat rin ako dyan for that purpose para on record siya.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002636

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002637

Okay, dito muna na ako sa administrator ng NEA.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002638

Balikan lang kita mamaya,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002639

Sekretary Laurel.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002640

Sir, Admin.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002641

Ang problema ko kasi,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002642

Sir Admin,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002643

ito ang problema.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002644

Pakipakita, Sekretary.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002645

Last year, if you recall,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002646

ang manifestation ko is,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002647

huwag mo na akong lagyan ng solar irrigation

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002648

kasi mayroon pa akong dam

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002649

na hindi pa talaga tapos.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002650

So, ang dam kasi,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002651

importante yan dahil

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002652

sigurado tayong may tubig.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002653

Iyong solar kasi,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002654

hindi natin alam yung

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002655

water table niyan,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002656

maobos 2 to 3 years.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002657

So, yun ang ano ko.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002658

Unfortunately,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002659

sinabi mo sa akin,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002660

okay, pagbigyan ako.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002661

Pero wala.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002662

Walang nangyari.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002663

So,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002664

ang ginawa mo,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002665

naglagay ka pa rin ng solar irrigation,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002666

ito, isang sample oh.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002667

Wala, hanggang ngayon.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002668

Palpak pa rin.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002669

So, ito ang point ko,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002670

Mr. Administrator.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002671

Sir,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002672

tapusin natin itong dam, sir.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002673

Kasi yung dam,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002674

siguro, mamamatay na lang tayo.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002675

Ano pa yan?

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002676

Kasi malaki yung river.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002677

River basin ang source eh.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002678

So, malaking tulong.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002679

Saka, sayang, sir.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002680

Sayang yung pundo ng gobyerno

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002681

na nilagay dyan,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002682

Apo, admin?

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002688

Nandun ako.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002689

Mr. Chair, I agree with the good congressman.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002690

Kaya nga po, for 2027,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002691

ang proposal namin sa kanyang distrito,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002692

at alam nito ng ating mahal na congressman,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002693

is 1.12 billion, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002694

Ang lumabas sa NEP is only 29 million.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002695

Kaya,

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002696

ako man, Mr. Chair, ano,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002697

ay nalulungkot din.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002698

Pero, dahil nga, uulitin ko.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002699

Yung fiscal limitation eh,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002700

doon ho tayo limited.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002701

Kahit na magtatumbling ko po ako rito ngayon,

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002702

gusto kong gawin lahat,

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002703

yung request nyo sa akin,

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002704

kung kulang naman po ang pundo namin,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002705

wala rin po tayong magagawa.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002706

Kaya po, pinapriorite namin, Mr. Chair,

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002707

yung mga pwede na po natin gawin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002708

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002712

Excuse me, with all your respect.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002713

Actually, yung sagot mo, sir,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002714

same sa sagot mo sa akin last year.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002715

Wala na, fiscal space, ganun-ganun-ganun.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002716

Pero, ang problema,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002717

yun na nga, maliit lang budget binigay mo.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002718

And, nalaman ko na lang, may binaba kayo solar irrigation na wala,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002719

wala, hindi priority namin.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002720

Binaba doon sa lugar ko.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002721

Sabi ko, instead na,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002722

bakit ako binigyan ng solar irrigation,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002723

na ito ang priority namin.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002724

So, yun ang point ko.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002725

Ngayon, kunwari, binigyan mo ako,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002726

matanggap natin yan na ganito yung amount.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002727

Pero, baka naman, later on,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002728

bigyan naman naman ako na solar irrigation.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002729

So, unahin muna natin ito.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002730

Ito talaga ang priority namin, sir.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002731

Lahat po ng priority ng ating mga mabuti ng Congress Bank,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002732

nasa amin naman,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-002733

yun ang ipapriority natin ako, Congress Bank.

Kasi,

ang budget ng organic agriculture,

based, of course, ng NUAB, no?

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002745

Yung presentation ng NUAB sa budget niya.

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002746

Ang problema lang,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002747

pagbaba doon sa every region,

Source

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002748

mag-iiba ang direction.

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002749

So, sana, we can,

Rep. Marlo C. Bancoro

asr-002750

I know we have limited time here.

Mr. Secretary,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002785

from TUCP in the province of Cotabato, of course,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002786

and the workers,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002787

tatlong industriya lang

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002788

I'd like to ask from you.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002789

Yung palm oil, banana,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002790

and of course, the sugar industry.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002791

Now, both of which, yung palm oil tsaka banana,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002792

grew with minimal government intervention.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002793

And it has been sustained.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002794

Combined millions of workers

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002795

are actually affiliated with TUCP,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002796

especially in Mindanao.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002797

And some parts of Negros.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002798

Ganito na lang, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002799

About five days ago,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002800

I was in the 40th Congress of the Palm Oil.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002801

I actually was a speaker.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002802

And I have a House Bill 7462.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002803

The creation of Palm Oil Development Act.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002804

Creation of an authority.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002805

Palm Oil Development Authority.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002806

And there were promises given by the DA,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002807

and I would just like to validate it.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002808

By the way, dagang salamat.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002809

Thank you for Administrator or Director Buted.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002810

And of course, kay Rosales.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002811

Much appreciated.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002812

Full support.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002813

I know PCA.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002814

Palm Oil, right now, is PCA.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002815

And then, is a subgroup lang ang palm oil.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002816

But with this, it has to become an authority.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002817

With, what, 15,000 pesos per hectare,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002818

the income, you can do no wrong, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002819

Will you support the passage of this authority?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002820

And of course, mas maganda kasi dalawang kongreses.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002821

And certify as urgent for the palm oil industry,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002822

Mr. Secretary, please.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002823

Mr. Chair, definitely, palm oil is an industry na

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002824

kailangan suportahan ng ating national government, no?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002825

As well as you, my LGUs that are,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002826

palm oil industries or stakeholders in their area.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002827

Dahil kumikita ho ang mga palm oil producers natin,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002828

farmers, at ang market is nandyan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002829

We are importing almost 90% of our palm oil requirements.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002830

So, import substitution yan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002831

At definitely, kailangan ho natin lagyan ng pondo yan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002832

Nakausap po si Sen. Kiko Pangilinan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002833

At kanina rin, kausap-ausap kahapon.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002834

Kausap ko rin si Kong Mark Inverga,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002835

ang aming head ng Agri sa Congress,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002836

na humihingi ako ng additional budget para sa,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002837

kasi hindi namin nailagay yun sa aming NEP ng malakihan

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002838

dahil nga ngayon lang namin nakita the last two months

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002839

yung talagang real need na kailangan i-prop up yung ano.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002840

So, we will re-request you for a special provision

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002841

on the palm oil na madagdagan ng NEP ng palm oil for,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002842

ng 500 million for next year.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002843

In the following years onward, sana nga kung may batas,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002844

malagyan ng isang billion yan bawat taon for the next five years.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002845

Kung tungkol naman sa authority, ang importante lang ho,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002846

makabuo tayo ng isang ahensya man,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002847

o kaya i-reorganize ang PCA na hindi lang coconut authority siya,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002848

na pwede magkaroon ng deputy administrator specifically for palm oil

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002849

at isang deputy administrator specifically for coconut

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002850

para at may sarili silang teams.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002851

I think maganda yan at mas mabilis as an idea

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002852

para maging dalawang line, para maging line agencies yan, may specific functions.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002853

Mr. Secretary, that's a very good news.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002854

Okay lang ako even though sabi ko palm oil authority,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002855

but if you now split it into several products,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002856

well and good, the TUCP would adhere to your idea.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002857

Pero ang importante lang, Mr. Secretary, na dapat i-certify urgent.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002858

Can you make, please, ibulong na lang kay Pangulo,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002859

mahal natin Pangulo na dapat naman na, you know,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002860

for the workers, we are importing 100 billion yata, if I'm told,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002861

of palm oil each year.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002862

So dapat naman na we will increase with only 100,000 planted of hectares.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002863

Is that correct, Mr. Secretary?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002864

Ang idea ho natin, ang nakita namin na roadmap kailangan,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002865

we have to plant 300,000 hectares of palm oil.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002866

At kung maka 100,000 hectares tayo by 2028, end of 2028, magandang maganda na ho yun.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002867

At the DA definitely supports the certification of the palm oil bill.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002868

As urgent, and I will make my official recommendation tomorrow to the President, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002869

Yes, thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002870

And then, of course, I've seen it work in Thailand.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002871

It's a conflict crop na talagang yung dati nakakalabaw lang.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002872

And now, even in Cotabato, you see them driving multi-cabs and pickup trucks, then trucks.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002873

So it works.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002874

So I hope it's for poverty alleviation and also commitment natin sa barn.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002875

Na dapat i-ano. Please, sir.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002876

May I get an assurance that you will at least talk to the President na certified urgent?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002877

Ano lang si Katsi Presidente?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002878

Yes, Mr. Chair. We will make our official recommendation tomorrow, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002879

Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002880

Next, sir, is banana.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002881

Tomorrow, I'd like to thank you also the usual support from Yusek Yang of high value.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002882

Thank you, sir. And I'm going to meet him in Hong Kong.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002883

We're going to cut the ribbon for the Banana Congress.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002884

Ito lang, diretso lang, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002885

You know naman that we used to be number two.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002886

Now, we went down to number four.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002887

Sometimes, we go number six.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002888

Karamihan nitong mga manggagawa sa banana industry, especially in Windanao, are actually affiliated with TUCP.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002889

Well, actually, some of them are actually LOC agency hired.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002890

But I don't want to go there. Dole na yan eh.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002891

But ito lang, sir. I have a bill, 4225.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002892

Which is the Philippine Banana Industry Development Act.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002893

Once again, banana industry grew roughly almost a million indirect and direct workers.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002894

I hope, please support it.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002895

Kaya parang tatlong tulong naka-congresses ba?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002896

Three congresses have passed.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002897

And I also wish that this will be certified urgent, sir.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002898

House Bill 4245.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002899

Named Philippine Banana Industry Development Act.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002900

Along with Davao del Norte, Congressman J.M. Lagdameo.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002901

Mr. Secretary.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002902

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002903

The DA supports your initiative and will endorse it accordingly, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002904

Balikan ko lang.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002905

So, there is a 1.2 billion that can be given to the palm oil industry?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002906

Or was it, sinasabi niyo, 500 million eh?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002907

Ang important, Mr. Chair, ang kailangan sa palm oil industry is kailangan maka-import tayo ng seedlings or good planting material as soon as possible because land is available.

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002908

So, ang initial na nakikita namin, ang request ng industry is actually 1 billion per year for the next five years.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002909

But of course, ang unang taon, hindi naman usually ganun ka-dali for anybody.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002910

So, ang hinihingi ng DA is 500 million sa first year and the succeeding years is tigaw 1 billion, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002911

So, 500 this year, then 500 million next year?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002912

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002913

Is that correct?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002914

Well, if you can increase it, please, because there are 30,000 hectares available.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002915

Totoo yan, yung seedlings ang importante.

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

There were some issues there.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002922

Kaya pa ito.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002923

Pero I would just like to manifest that although we wanted a disclosure, a publication of Board Minutes of Sugar Order No. 8,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002924

but usap na lang tayo, Admin, and how are we going to do about it.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002925

Second, yung I am assured by Admin Ascona na yung two things.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002926

Yung 200 million, 25 to 26 red-stripe soft-scale insect, that was, kailangan lang namin yung breakdown sa expenditure, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-002927

Mr. Secretary, please.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002935

At ng ating interventions so far sa RSSI, it's 25 million and 10 million for the application and the chemical usage.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002936

But next year, nag-ilaan kami sa DA ng, if I'm not mistaken, 250 million yata for RSSI and other pest intervention.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002937

I think, sorry, 300 million.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-002938

Parang we can manufacture our own bio-agents.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003019

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003020

so mr secretary are you suggesting that you will file an amendments before this committee for the

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003021

for the amount of 20 billion as to its utilization yeah well basically uh yes mr chair

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003022

uh

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003023

but mr secretary uh

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003024

i mean

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003025

ra12308 specifically section 16 is very specific as to the utilization of the amount of 20 billion

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003026

would you still follow the guidelines based on the law

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003027

More or less, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003028

We will follow that framework.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003029

It will be a trial run for the eventual use of the P20 billion in 2028, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003030

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003031

How about the source of revenue?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003032

Can you confirm that it will be taken from the tariff collection,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003033

from livestock, dairies, etc.?

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003034

That P20 billion, Mr. Chair,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003035

the P20 billion that is allocated for 2027...

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003036

Ma'am, excuse me.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003037

Please state your name and position before you answer.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003038

Usec Dora Oliveros, Usec for Finance, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003039

That P20 billion that is allocated for the ANSEP

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003040

will be taken for as long as we have a tariff collection

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003041

from the P20 billion.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003042

So, as of today, we have checked, our tariff collection as certified by the Bureau of Customs

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003043

is at P11.1 billion.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003044

So, if this is what will be collected, it will be added.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003045

But, if it is not collected, it will be added.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003046

So, if it is not collected, it will be added.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003047

But, until 2027, that is the extent of what we will release and use from the ANSEP.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003048

So, that is it.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003049

So, it depends on the tariff.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003050

Now, the question is, if it will be lacking,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003051

we have solutions in mind to do this.

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003052

And I will turn it to you, Usec ASIS,

Source

DA Undersecretary Nora C. Oliveros

asr-003053

because he has suggestions about this.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003054

Commission of the Secretary, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003055

Actually, if we will compete, our total tariff collection under the ANSEP,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003056

it can amount, currently, it's about P22 billion per year

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003057

because we have imported a lot of meat and meat products in the last four years.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003058

Now, take note, Mr. Chair, that this is based on a P15, P20 billion.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003059

This is based on a P25% tariff.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003060

This is a reduced tariff.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003061

But, in 2028, Mr. Chair, we will return to our previous tariff regime,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003062

which is 25 and 40%.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003063

So, therefore, we can see that the revenue collection is still high.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003064

And then, the other thing that we're currently doing is,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003065

there is a portion in the pork tariff called jowl.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003066

That jowl, that is the tariff.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003067

At that time, it was only 5%.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003068

While it should be 15% and 25% as well.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003069

So, we're working now with the Tariff Commission

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003070

to bring back that particular tariff line to its normal tariff.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003071

And so, per our estimate, there is more than enough resources available

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003072

for the implementation of ANSEP,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003073

beginning even next year and the years beyond that, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003074

Thank you.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003075

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003076

Can you explain what is jowl?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003077

Jowl?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003078

Is jowl like the pig's tail?

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003079

When it comes to the whole face,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003080

what we're doing is the mustache, right?

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003081

When it comes to the whole head,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003082

the tariff is only 5%.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003083

But, when it comes to us, it's already removed.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003084

It's not included in the face.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003085

That's why we think,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003086

pardon us for saying,

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003087

technicality that is in favor of those importing it.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003088

So, therefore, we are working now with the Tariff Commission

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003089

to take that loop out.

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003090

Because what we have seen is that we will get around 4 billion pesos

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003091

additional revenue

Source

DA Undersecretary Asis G. Perez

asr-003092

if we can arrange the classification of jowl.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003093

Mr. Chair, thank you.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003094

Thank you for that clarification.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003095

To the administrator,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003096

Mr. Administrator,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003097

can you confirm that National Irrigation Administration

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003098

is a government-owned and controlled corporation?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003099

Yes, sir.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003100

NIA is a Jewish SEC.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003101

NIA receives national government subsidies

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003102

for development and construction rehabilitation

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003103

for our national irrigation system.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003104

It comes from GAA.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003105

Okay.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003106

So, how do you spend your annual...

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003107

national government subsidy?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003108

And how do you appropriate it and utilize it?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003109

Well,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003110

this, Mr. Chair,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003111

we have evaluated our priorities,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003112

like what was explained earlier,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003113

our prioritization.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003114

And then, we have identified in our budget,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003115

in a prexy form.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003116

It used to be in a prexy form.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003117

But now, we have a line item.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003118

So, in...

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003119

So, in fiscal year 2025 and prior years,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003120

was the NIA budget generally presented

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003121

under program expenditure classification or prexy?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003122

That's correct, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003123

Or by major...

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003124

I'm not yet finished, Mr. Administrator,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003125

my question. Yes, sir.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003126

Or by major programs and sub-programs

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003127

without incorporating an extensive list

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003128

of individual irrigation projects in the NEP or GAA?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003129

Yes, Mr. Chair, that's correct.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003130

But the detailed project list was submitted

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003131

as a supporting document.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003132

But individual projects were generally

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003133

not made separate line items in the NEP or the GAA annex,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003134

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003135

So, it's under program expenditures,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003136

program and sub-programs.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003137

By prexy portion.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003138

Yes.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003139

Program expenditure.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003140

By prexy.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003141

Okay.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003142

So, under this program-based framework,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003143

was NIA still required to submit its proposed project list

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003144

and supporting documents to the DBM?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003145

For technical evaluation, validation, and budget review?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003146

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003147

Even under the program-based arrangement,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003148

NIA submitted project lists and supporting documents

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003149

to the DBM for evaluation.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003150

The projects underwent technical validation,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003151

you know, prioritization,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003152

costing and assessment of implementation readiness.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003153

The absence of individual line items in the GAA, Mr. Chair,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003154

did not mean...

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003155

that the projects were unvalidated

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003156

or that NIA had unlimited discretion.

Source

So, is it correct to say that it is subject to DBM evaluation,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003158

procurement laws, auditing rules, engineering standards,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003159

and congressional oversight?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003160

Yes, Mr. Chair, that's correct.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003161

A program-based budget, of course,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003162

does not remove accountability, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003163

All NIA projects remain submitted to...

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003164

subject to DBM evaluation.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003165

Like you said, government procurement laws,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003166

co-auditing requirements,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003167

approved engineering plans and technical specifications,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003168

environmental and other regulatory requirements,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003169

monitoring and reporting to Congress.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003170

The flexibility, of course, Mr. Chair,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003171

because we sent a letter to the speaker

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003172

for more flexibility, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003173

It's not discretion, of course, without accountability.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003174

It is operational flexibility.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003175

It is necessary to respond to actual field condition

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003176

while remaining fully transparent and accountable.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003177

Mr. Administrator, in the fiscal year 2026,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003178

or this year, current year,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003179

individual NIA projects were specifically itemized.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003180

Based on your NIA's actual implementation experience,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003181

what operational challenges resulted from this arrangement,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003182

particularly with project costs,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003183

right-of-way, emergencies, calamities, etc.?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003184

Well, Mr. Chair, based on our 2026 implementation experience,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003185

making individual projects separate budget line items

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003186

created significant operational difficulties, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003187

Once a project is specifically itemized,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003188

NIA has very limited flexibility to adjust the allocation,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003189

even when actual field conditions have changed.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003190

Mr. Chair, for example, detailed engineering may reveal

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003191

a different scope of project cost, right-of-way problems,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003192

permits, calamities, or other irrigation requirements

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003193

may require immediate reprioritization.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003194

You know, a project initially proposed may subsequently

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003195

encounter technical and legal implementation constraints

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003196

because the appropriations are tied to specific line items.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003197

Funds cannot be readily redirected to other validated

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003198

and implementation-ready projects without going through

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003199

a lengthy modification or realignment process, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003200

So, do you mean to tell—

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003221

Tell me, Mr. Administrator, that the list that you submitted to DBM

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003222

is only for the purpose of planning and validation documents

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003223

subject to final costing and implementation readiness assessment

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003224

rather than as a rigid statutory enumeration of projects?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003225

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003226

And, of course, you know, under the previous program-based system po kasi,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003227

if one project encountered an unavoidable delay,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003228

NIA had greater flexibility subject to applicable rules

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003229

to proceed with another validated, highly priority,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003230

and implementable-ready project with the same program.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003231

Kaya, you know, lumiit po.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003232

So, humina po yung aming BUR, yung budget utilization rate po namin, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003233

Because of the detailed list.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003234

Napahirap po talaga ang implementation.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003235

Do we have the representative of DBM?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003236

Mr. Chairman, do we have a representative from DBM?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003237

Meron na ba tayo dyan? From DBM?

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-003238

Any representative from DBM?

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-003239

Yes.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-003240

Chairman Ilagan?

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-003241

Director Ilagan?

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-003242

Or any DBM representative?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003243

Anyway, well, Mr. Administrator,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003244

did you or did you not recommend the detailed list

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003245

of individual NIA projects to DBM?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003246

Or was it DBM-imposed?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003247

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003248

The project list submitted during the budget preparation.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003249

We submitted, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003250

But it should be considered as a planning, prioritization, and validation document,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003251

Your Honor.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003252

You know, although projects undergo initial validation conditions,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003253

may change.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003254

Ano po ito eh?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003255

Although naglagay po kami ng project list,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003256

of course, kung ano man po yung sistema ng paglagay ng DBM sa NEP,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003257

sa kanila pong discretion po yun, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003258

So, ibig ba po?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003259

Ibig po bang sabihin, yung buong listahan na isinumit eh,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003260

hindi ho lahat doon ay implementation ready?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003261

Kung susumain sa sinasinabi mo?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003262

Yeah.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003263

Yeah.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003264

We submitted, Mr. Chair, again, but

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003265

for technical evaluation.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003266

Kasi ina-evaluate po nila yan eh.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003267

Yung aming ano.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003268

And of course,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003269

our implementation experience,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003270

nevertheless, shows that incorporating the entire list

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003271

as rigid budget line items creates operational constraints po

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003272

and adversely affects timely implementation of our BUR.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003273

There is no consistency, Mr. Chair, in our position.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003274

We support submitting a complete and validated project list.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003275

But we recommend that the appropriation itself remain program-based under PLEXI.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003276

So, that is based on your experience in implementing the fiscal year 2026 project?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003277

Yes.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003278

Am I correct?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003279

Napakahirap po mag-implement kasi talagang, you know,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003280

pagka, for example, Mr. Chair, yung aming

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003281

mga soropop irrigation project,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003282

pagka hindi na sapat yung tubig doon sa aming test run,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003283

hindi na hoon amin basta yun maililipat.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003284

Kasi may naka-JOT agpo siya.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003285

So, base po sa sinabi nyo,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003286

what, which budget structure

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003287

do you prefer?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003288

A rigid itemized project listing in the GAA as annex

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003289

or a program-based appropriations under program expenditure classification

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003290

supported by a separately submitted, validated, and transparent project list?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003291

Under PLEXI, Mr. Chair,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003292

restoring the program-based PLEXI structure would provide...

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003293

Mr. Administrator, I'm not yet finished with my question.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003294

I'm sorry.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003295

Which will better serve our farmers?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003296

Is it a rigid...

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003297

rigid list or itemized list or a PLEXI based on program and sub-program?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003298

Well, doon po kami sa PLEXI, Mr. Chair, ano?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003299

In fact, restoring the program-based PLEXI structure

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003300

would provide NIA with sufficient operational flexibility

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003301

while maintaining full transparency and accountability.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003302

It would allow NIA po to address unavoidable delays,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003303

utilize legitimate savings, respond to calamities,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003304

guide emerging irrigation needs,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003305

and prioritize po validated projects that are ready for immediate implementation.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003306

It would also help improve our obligation and disbursement performance

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003307

and consequently po our BOR

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003308

without compromising congressional oversight and project-level transparency.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003309

So you are willing to submit or you have already submitted,

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003310

as you mentioned while ago, to the appropriation to this committee

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003311

about restoring...

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003312

your budget into a program or sub-program-based instead of a detailed list?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003313

Yes.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003314

Did you submit?

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003315

So you are formally requesting for an amendment to your budget?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003316

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003317

As to the budget classification?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003318

Yes, we have submitted the letter to the speaker po at Sana po.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003319

You know, we, again, we respectfully recommend that the detailed project list be submitted

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003320

as a supporting document.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003321

Yes. We have submitted the letter. To the speaker po at Sana po. You know, we, again, we respectfully recommend that the detailed project list be submitted as a supporting document.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003322

To the speaker po at Sana po. You know we, again, we respectfully recommend that the detailed project list be submitted as a supporting document.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003323

For transparency and validation,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003324

monitoring and oversight,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003325

instead of incorporating every project as a rigid-line item

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003326

in the NEP or GAA Annex 4.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003327

instead of incorporating every project as a rigid-line item in the NEP or GAA Annex 4.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003328

Our objective, Mr. Chair, is not to reduce accountability,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003329

Our objective is to ensure that the appropriated funds are implemented

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003330

efficiently, and untimed,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003331

following NIA's strict policy of right project,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003332

right price,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003333

right quality.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003334

Of course this approach will help NIA improve its BOR,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003335

prioritize and govern.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003336

going and implementation of the projects

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003337

and deliver irrigation services

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003338

to our farmers more promptly.

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003339

So, Mr. Administrator, can you submit

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003340

to us also the request

Source

Rep. Allan U. Ty

asr-003341

that you have submitted to the office of the speaker

asr-003423

na pondo ang kami nito.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003424

Actually, meron ako mga other options

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003425

na on the table now

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003426

na baka pwedeng kapalit

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003429

man yung hog raisers.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003430

One idea namin is

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003431

bigyan na sila ng growers

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003432

with feeds, no?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003433

From yung next year sa budget

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

namin or

other alternatives kung sa

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003437

DBM na request namin.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003438

So, yun yung

asr-003452

sa PhilPayda,

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003453

alam nyo po,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003454

naturingan kaming

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003455

abaka kapital ng Pilipinas,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003456

nababahala po kami

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003457

sa patuloy na pagbaba ng

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003458

abaka production

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003459

sa buong bansa.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003460

Bumababa ang production halos sa

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003461

22% from

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003462

2029 to 2025.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003463

Sa katandaan naman po,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003464

itong 2025,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003465

about 44.7%.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003466

So,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003467

ano po ba ang dahilan ng pagbaba

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003468

ng ating abaka production?

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003469

Particularly na sa katandaan

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003470

is ano pong intervention natin

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003471

ngayon, taon na ito,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003472

2027,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003473

para may balik natin

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003474

ang sigla.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003475

Kasi sa ngayon pa lang,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003476

halos hindi na po natin masolusyonan

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003477

yung bunch it up.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003478

Itong problema natin, palagi,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003479

bunch it up,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003480

bumababa na yung ano ng ano natin,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003481

yung abaka natin,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003482

hindi pa rin ito nasolusyonan.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003483

And then, yung mga abakaleros

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003484

natin, parang tinatamad

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003485

na sila magtanim.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003486

Dahil, dyan nga sa

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003487

sakit na yan, walang solusyon,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003488

kaya ang iba,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003489

nag-iiba na lang

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003490

ng tanim, na pananim, kung ano na lang,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003491

hindi na minsan abaka.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003492

At saka yung iba,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003493

pumapasok na sa construction,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003494

mumpunta na ng Maynila.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003495

So, mawawala na po kaming abakaleros

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003496

pag ano na hindi natin ito nasolusyonan

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003497

sa madaling panahon po.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003498

Mr. Chair,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003499

basically, yung

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003500

bagyong tumama last year

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003501

dun sa Katanduanes,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003502

talagang malaking

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003503

epekto nun sa abaka production

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003504

dahil yung matinamaan na puno na nawala,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003505

hindi naman, in one year,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003506

hindi naman makakabalik yung production nun.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003507

But, meanwhile, I would ask

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003508

our field

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003509

fire the head to give

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003510

more detailed explanation

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003511

and kung ano man ng planos moving forward,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003512

Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003513

Mr. Chair, may I?

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003514

Actually, I know the problems.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003515

I've seen it from day one.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003516

We have so much abaka, actually.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003517

The whole eastern border of the Philippines

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003518

has abaka.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003519

From Aurora, Quezon, all the way to Mindanao.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003520

And, of course, Katanduanes is one of the biggest.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003521

In fact, by volume,

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003522

supposedly, Katanduanes can

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003523

fulfill the export needs of the Philippines.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003524

Kaya, nakita lang natin,

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003525

the poorest farmers also are

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003526

second to the coconut farmers

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003527

or abaka farmers.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003528

And one of the programs that we're doing now,

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003529

para po makamatulungan natin kagad sila,

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003530

is we are now teaching po the wives of farmers

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003531

how to make school bags.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003532

Dahil alam naman po natin na

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003533

marami po sa atin bumibili naman

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003534

ng mga school bags every year.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003535

And that creates a demand

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003536

para po doon sa mga asawa ng farmers

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003537

and the farmers. And, of course, we've created

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003538

a lot of products po.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003539

In fact, looking at

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003540

long term,

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003541

kaya na tayo natin gumawa po ng mga plywood

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003542

made of abaka na dapat ituro

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003543

na sa industriya. We have already

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003544

added it to plastics. Since we

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003545

are importing about 600,000 metric

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003546

tons of plastic, if we can add

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003547

20% to that, then we can help a lot of

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003548

our farmers.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003549

Sa textile po, meron na tayong abaka rin.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003550

Ang pinakamaganda pong nagawa natin

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003551

ngayon, and I'd like to show you to everyone,

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003552

we have made

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003553

bulletproof vests po.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003565

na-tested by AFP.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003566

Na alam natin that we can have an industry

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003567

in the Philippines para po sa ating

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-003568

process of the Philippines. Thank you po.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003574

mag-materialize.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003575

Kasi sa ngayon, talagang

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003576

parang nagsisimula pa rin naman tayo

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003577

sa UNO na naman eh.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003578

Lalo na, mababa ang presyo

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003579

ng abaka. So,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003580

wala pong, ano, wala pong

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003581

mainggan yung abakaleros

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003582

natin na tuloy-tuloy sila mag-produce

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003583

nito.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003584

Kasi mababa nga.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003585

Halos mag-apon sila ro'n eh.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003586

Kulang pa nilang, ano,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003587

araw-araw nilang pagkain ng

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003588

pamilya nila. So, dapat eh,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003589

medyo gagawa tayo ng

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003590

paraan dito sa medyo

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003591

madaling panahon. Hindi pwedeng

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003592

ganito tayo palagi.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003593

Dahil, ah, medyo

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003594

talagang umaaray na po

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003595

ang mga abakaleros.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003596

Kasi yan po ang pinaka-main product

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003597

po namin sa Katanduanes.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003598

bansita pa nga lang. Di na natin masugpusog po.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003602

O, paano tayo

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003603

aangat yung production natin?

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003604

Yan lang, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003605

Regarding man po sa ating

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003617

Ah, isa lang proyekto ang malalaanan.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003618

asr-003619

alam naman natin na

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003620

ang dami natin doon, yung mga

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003623

Malalaking, ano, malalaking porsyon.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003624

Paano yun?

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-003625

Paano yun? Natin

magpagawa.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003633

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003634

Actually, we proposed 55 projects

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003635

for your district, Apo, Congressman.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003636

548 million total, ano?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003637

But again, tama rin kayo.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003638

Isang project lang ang

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003639

lumabas sa NEP natin, ano?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003640

But doon po sa inyo, sa mga

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003641

nasirang mga

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003642

for repair natin, ipinasap po

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003643

namin sa OCD.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003644

At ito naman po ay

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003645

parang bibigyan naman ng priority.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003646

Kasi dapat natin

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003647

you know, ma-realize din

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003648

na yung mga irrigation canals

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003649

ng NIA at yung mga dams

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003650

natin, ito po ang ulang tinatamaan

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003651

pag may bagyo. Ano po?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003652

At again, yung drainage.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003653

Nagiging drainage ang aming mga irrigation

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003654

canals po pagka may mga masasamang

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003655

pagmalakas ang pagulan. So,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003656

kaisan nyo po kami dyan. Again,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003657

nakita nyo naman po

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003658

yung aming proposal sa inyong distrito.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003659

But again, we are

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003660

dahil dito sa limited

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-003661

di ba, medyo limitado rin.

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003821

na na-observe natin at pinupondohan natin

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003822

ng self-sufficiency. Kung paano

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003823

na-ensure na yung

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003824

industriya natin ng pagkain ay napapakain

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003825

ng sapat.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003826

At masustansya ang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003827

mamamayan natin.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003828

Particularly po sa bigas

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003829

at sa rice.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003830

Pwede po bang matanong ilang metric tons

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003831

ang tinatayang rice production po ba

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003832

para sa 2026 at

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003833

2027, Mr. Chair?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003834

So, 2026 ang target

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003835

natin ngayon is about 19

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003836

million tons.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003837

Although it is

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003838

lower than last

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003839

year's 19.9

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003840

million tons of palay,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003841

dahil we have anticipated

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003842

yung effects ng El Niño.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003843

That is the worst case scenario,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003844

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003845

For both years na po ba yun, Mr. Chair?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003846

2026 and 2027, or at least

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003847

remainder ng 2026?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003848

Yes, because ang El Niño, Mr. Chair,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003849

started already, as we can see,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003850

yung init,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003851

tapos bilang raming tubig, then end of the

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003852

year, November, which is the

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003853

pinakamainit, at mag-cross over

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003854

yan hanggang March of next

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003855

year. So, kaya yung

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003856

yung dalawang taon na nakikita namin,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003857

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003858

Mr. Chair, nanggaling na rin po mismo sa DA na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003859

it will be unfortunately lower

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003860

than the local palay

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003861

production last 2025.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003862

So, ilan po ba ang tinatayang i-import

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003863

na bigas ng Pilipinas sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003864

2026 at 2027?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003865

Sa 2026,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003866

technically,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003867

normally we'd need only

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003868

3.8 to 4 million

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003869

tons. Yan yung ating

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003870

need, no? But since

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003871

we are facing El Niño,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003872

we are projecting that we

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003873

might need to

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003874

import up to

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003875

5 million tons for this year.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003876

For next year naman, malamang

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003877

babalik tayo sa 3.8.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003878

Kasi nga, parang

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003879

we are already front-loading

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003880

what we need for

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003881

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003882

quarter of 2027.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

And we need

asr-003884

to maintain

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003885

more than 60 days,

Mr. Chair,

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

ibig sabihin nga po, mas malaki po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003919

ito sa nakaraang taon na mga

asr-003920

3.52 million metric tons

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003921

na of rice imported.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

So, ibig sabihin, magiging top price

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003923

importer na naman ang Pilipinas,

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003924

importing 5% of essentially

asr-003925

the total global demand.

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003926

Naiintindihan natin na El Niño, pero

may kongkreto po bang ginagawa ang DA

upang balikta rin yung lumalalang import

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003935

Definitely, yung ginagawa natin this year

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003936

is all precautionary.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003937

At mas mabuti na nakahanda

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

tayo na meron tayo enough supply

ma-increase natin ang ating

asr-003945

production at nasa datos

naman na yung average yield per

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003947

hectare natin tumataas.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003948

At tinatamaan lang talaga tayo

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003949

ng mga sakuna, katulad ng bagyo,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003950

flooding, and

asr-003951

ngayon, El Niño.

asr-003952

Kung ang normal ang takbo

actually tumataas ang ating

production per hectare.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003956

Mr. Chair, may mga programa po ba ang DA

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003957

na i-implement

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003958

na ang dulo nito may estimate sila

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003959

na additional or

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003960

madadagdag na production

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003961

sa ating

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003962

local industry? Kasi ang narinig ko po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003963

gets na precautionary

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003964

yung magiging import. Pero ang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003965

napapansin ko at ang pangamba

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003966

nito ay baka tuloy-tuloy

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003967

yung dependency natin. At

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003968

hindi natin makakamit yung self-sufficiency

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003969

na gusto nating makamtan. So may

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-003970

ano pong projects, programs kung meron po?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003971

Ang number one is

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003972

tuloy-tuloy yung ating mechanization.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003973

This year we are putting up

asr-003974

380 drying systems para

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003975

sa ating palay, pati sa corn.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003976

Of course,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003977

yan naman yung tuloy-tuloy na expansion

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003978

ng irrigation, irrigated land natin

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003979

ay napaka-importante para

asr-003980

gumaki ang ating production.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003981

Tuloy-tuloy din ang ating research

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003982

sa inbred and hybrid seeds natin

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003983

para

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003984

kumaas ang ating

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003985

yield per hectare.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003986

Meron din tayong bagong isusulong

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003987

na mga policy

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003988

na kung ikaw mag-iimport ka,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003989

kailangan mag-invest ka

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003990

sa local industry,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003991

sa local infrastructure ng

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003992

industry, at kailangan ka bumili

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003993

ng palay sa ating mga farmers

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003994

para magkaroon ka ng import allocation.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003995

Yan ho yung mga ibang plano para nga

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003996

maging self-sustaining yung industry

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003997

at makalaban sa

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003998

international market.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-003999

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004000

Although na-alarm din po ako na dahil

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004001

even though may ganyang mga efforts,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004002

mismong DA na rin ang nagsabi sa kanilang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004003

presentation na kumonte

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004004

ang agricultural

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004005

lands na maaari pong

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004006

anihan ng Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004007

Ang dulo naman po nito, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004008

gusto natin yung budget na pupunta

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004009

doon sa mga programang na specify,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004010

yung pag-ensure na ang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004012

arable na natin ay ginagamit

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004013

para sa agriculture and syempre

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004014

makamit yung food security

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004015

ng hindi

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004016

tumataas at pinapalakas

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004017

yung dependency natin sa importation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004018

at hindi natin maaaring gawing

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004019

impermanenting solusyon ng importasyon

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004020

sa problema ng bababang produksyon.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004021

So, my last question po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004022

Mr. Chair would be to the

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004023

Bureau of Animal Industry.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004024

May I ask if they're present here today?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004025

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004026

Okay. Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004027

two questions lang po sa kanila

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004028

siguro. Gusto lang po natin

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004029

itanong kung

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004030

ano po yung pondo

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004031

na nakalaan para po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004032

sa pag-implement

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004033

ng anti-rabies,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004034

national anti-rabies program

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004035

ng Pilipinas

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004036

dahil hindi natin nakamit yung 2020

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004037

target na zero

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004038

rabies and may 2030 target

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004039

yung ASEAN. So,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004040

may calculation po kung magkano yun per year

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004041

dapat eh. So, tatanong po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004042

natin kung magkano po ang nakalaan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004043

ngayon. And isa pang question

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004044

Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004045

Mr. Chair, we'd like to ask our USEC

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004046

for livestock to answer.

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004047

I am USEC Dante

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004048

Palabrica for livestock

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004049

and for rabies

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004050

meron tayong sa 2025

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004051

na 150 million

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004052

at nabili na

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004053

i-distribute na

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004054

and

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004055

we are planning

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004056

to produce our own

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004057

rabies vaccine

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004058

so that we are not going to

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004059

buy locally

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004060

because as of

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004061

now, last year

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004062

isang Pilipino ang patay

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004063

dahil sa rabies

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004064

nag-improve ng 2025

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004065

and ang

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004066

katapat lang nito, bakuna.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004067

Mr. Chair, yung tanong ko po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004068

ay meron po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004069

bang datos ang BAI

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004070

doon sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004071

dami ng free-roaming dogs

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004072

na nasisilang kada taon

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004073

so population growth

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004074

versus yung vaccination rate.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004075

Magkatumbas po ba ito?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004076

At natutugunan po ba ito ng pondo

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004077

na ibinibigay para po sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004078

anti-rabies vaccination?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004079

Hindi lang po sa tao pero sa aso.

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004080

Okay.

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004081

Mr. Chair,

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004082

pagkatapos po ng pandemic

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004083

tayo na ang pinakamaraming mga

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004084

anima-aso

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004085

at saka po sa rito sa Pilipinas.

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004086

We have around 30 million

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004087

Pilipinos.

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004088

Dogs and cats.

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004089

30 million dogs and cats.

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004090

And if you look at it,

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004091

around 20 to 30 percent lang

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004092

ang nababakunahan.

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004093

So we're going to have

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004094

a massive vaccination.

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004095

And we need around 27 million.

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004096

And in fact, sa birthday ng ating

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004097

mahal, we're going to have a massive vaccination.

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004098

And in fact, sa birthday ng ating mahal na Pangulo

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004099

ay magkakaroon tayo ng nationwide

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004100

na vaccination at spaying.

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004101

Kasi kailangan tanggalin natin

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004102

yung mga nanganak na

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004103

aso

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004104

na

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004105

gala.

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004106

Dahil yun lang malakas na

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004107

magparami at the same time kumakagat

Source

DA Undersecretary Constante J. Palabrica

asr-004108

sa mga tao natin.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004109

Mr. Chair, final manifestation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004110

na lang po in relation doon sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004111

datos na na-share which this representation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004112

would like a copy of.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004113

Kung hindi po kasi tugma

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004114

yung population growth rate

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004115

doon sa vaccination rate

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004116

at even yung budgeting na inilalaan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004117

ng gobyerno para po mabakunahan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004118

ang mga aso,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004119

eh di baka po hindi po natin nare-resolve

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004120

ba yung rabies issue natin.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004121

So ako po sinusuportahan natin

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004122

yung trap-neuter release

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004123

TNR efforts, pero sana po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004124

ay mas ma-institutionalize to at sana

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004125

maging kakampiang buy sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004126

TNR na policy

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004127

and hindi po yung

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004128

nakikita natin ngayon sa ating

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004129

batas, mas impounding talaga.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004130

At ang nakikita nga po, after impounding

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004131

ay pinapatay na lang din po yung

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004132

atong mga free roaming cats and dogs.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004133

So yun lang naman po, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004134

we'd like to request

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004135

the following salient data points

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004136

na lang po. And syempre, sana po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004137

ay mataas din yung

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004138

budget tungkol po sa paano mag

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-004139

operate yung buy

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

on the

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

on the farm to market route is being

addressed by the regional

or the modification of

I just want to express my gratitude

to the Secretary for visiting

I hope this time, Secretary,

asr-004163

there will be a genuine

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004164

effort to restore

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004165

and preserve the TNSS.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004166

Since the 12th, 13th,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004167

14th Congress, 18th,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004168

and 19th Congress, I have been

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004169

advocating that the TNSS

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004170

should be under the A

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004171

because this TNSS was

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004172

constructed for agriculture,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004173

in the Department of

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004174

Tourism. That came

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004175

later. That's why

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004176

the main job of

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004177

restoring and preserving is with the

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004178

A. Now, my question

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004179

is, my immediate concern

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004180

is with the

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004181

my first question,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004182

Administrator

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004183

Ilin, it was before your time.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004184

In the 18th Congress,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004185

I brought out in the floor

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004186

the situation of the

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004187

Maristam.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004188

The expropriated farmlands

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004189

around Maristam,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004190

which were specifically

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004191

in my province, in Alfonso Lista,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004192

specifically

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004193

Santo Domingo, and

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004194

Nabilangan.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004195

Now, my question is,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004196

naayos na ba yung

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004197

problema? Kasi ang nangyari dyan,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004198

NIA expropriated

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004199

these lands for public

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004200

use. Now, pero

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004201

the one who paid just compensation

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004202

is the private

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004203

corporation. There was

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004204

an anomalous transaction

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004205

of the exercise of

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004206

eminent domain by the government.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004207

Now, the Department of

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004208

Justice is very interested

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004209

on this case because

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004210

it's not isolated.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004211

Mukhang makarami atin nangyari

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004212

na ganyan. Where the government

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004213

expropriated private property

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004214

for public use, but

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004215

the one who paid just compensation

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004216

are private corporations.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004217

Now, at the time, it was

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004218

not before your time,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004219

Administrator. It was during the

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004220

Congress. So, I let it

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004221

pass because I told NIA

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004222

to ayosin yan.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004223

Now, I want to know if naayos

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004224

na ba yan? Because last week,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004225

there were several of my constituents

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004226

who were trying to make a point

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004227

between me pertaining that issue.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004228

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004229

Ang gagawin po namin,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004230

Mr. Chair, is makipag-ugnayan

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004231

po kami sa SNAP. Baka may mga

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004232

mga issues pa na hindi na

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004233

ayos po at

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004234

tutulong po kami para

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004235

ang mga issue na po yan ay

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004236

marasolve na po natin,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004237

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004238

Suddenly, na-cancel daw.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004239

Is it operational or not?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004240

Yeah, Mr. Chair. Yung

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004241

Alfonso Lista ay tapos na po.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004242

Ang kailangan lamang po natin kasi

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004243

dyan, ang operational level po niya

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004244

is 185

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004245

meters above sea level.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004246

Yung pong ating dam ngayon

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004247

ay nasa 179, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004248

So, pag umabot po siya doon

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004249

sa 185, mag-ooperate na po

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004250

yung Alfonso Lista.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004251

So,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004252

fully operational na ba yan?

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004253

I ask this

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004254

Administrator, kasi my province

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004255

of Ipukaw, host three

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004256

national integration system,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004257

the habit integration system,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004258

the managed integration system,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004259

and the Alfonso

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004260

priming integration

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004261

that are all created in my

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004262

province to serve the other province

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004263

specifically Isabela

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004264

and Nebobishkaya.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004265

But when I went over

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004266

the allocation of my province,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004267

especially the GIS,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004268

the GIP, maraming nakakomplain

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004269

ng mayos, especially the

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004270

mayos of Banawi, and mayos

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004271

who are

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004272

in the heritage side,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004273

yung mga proposed project

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004274

nila natanggal.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004275

And these were supposed to be

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004276

to the preservation

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004277

of the tri-states, which

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004278

are

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004279

historically

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004280

ano,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004281

what you call that,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004282

ng ano,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004283

which is the product of

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004284

the regime.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004285

Now, Secretary,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004286

Administrator, may I get the

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004287

commitment that priorities would be

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004288

made now on the heritage side

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004289

because the preservation

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004290

or the restoration of

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004291

the statuses start with

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004292

integrations. The statuses were

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004293

built with water for

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004294

constant water. Kapag na-dry up

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004295

yan, at mag-dry up lang

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004296

mag-gay it off. Then, I think that is

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004297

what Secretary Laurel saw in Banat,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004298

that is what happened.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004299

The education is very

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004300

important in the restoration

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004301

and preservation of

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004302

these tri-states, which

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004303

are heritage sites.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004304

Yes,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004305

Mr. Chair, masahan nyo po yan. At in fact,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004306

ang isang proposal po namin

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004307

sa ating mga dams ngayon ay mag-grow

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004308

po ng

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004309

mga museum

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004310

type po, na ano, para may

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004311

mapuntahan din sa

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004312

tourism, may mapuntahan nila at

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004313

the same time, may pakita

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004314

po yung cultural

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004315

heritage po ng mga lugar

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004316

na yon. And,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004317

Mr. Chair, you know,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004318

kaya nga po sinulong ang NIA

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004319

itong Alimit Dam,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004320

Mr. Chair, which is

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004321

nasa NEDA na po

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004322

yung approval.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004323

Ay dahil po

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004324

para mas

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004325

matatag yung operation ng ating

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004326

alpip.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004327

Isa po yun sa isang dahilan. And, of course,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004328

dahil napagagandang project din po,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004329

ito po ay magiging

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004330

series of dams po,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004331

Magat, and then ito pong

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004332

Alimit. So, yan po

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004333

ang nakikita nating solution kasi para

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004334

mapalawid pa yung

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004335

lifetime yung ating

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004336

Magat Dam dahil

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004337

medyo nangananib po sa

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004338

siltation. So, asahan nyo po, Mr. Chair,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004339

ay lahat po ng

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004340

concerns, lalo na yung ating mga

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004341

heritage concerns

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004342

ay titignan po ng NIA.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004343

Thank you, Administrator.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004344

Kapag makontrak yung

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004345

Alimit Dam, that will be the port

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004346

NIA project in my

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004347

province, getting water

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004348

to irrigate

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004349

low-lying areas. Now,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004350

kung ganyan naman,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004351

yung priorities naman

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004352

toward the heritage sites,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004353

which are what is always

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004354

shown outside of the Philippines

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004355

when our government

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004356

goes out,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004357

the heritage sites,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004358

but we are not really

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004359

giving them an effort

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004360

for the restoration and preservation.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004361

So, I hope

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004362

Administrator,

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004363

yeah, that will be done anyway.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004364

I just hope

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004365

with the

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004366

going with the second day, especially

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004367

since the President is now

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

employing for the

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004369

preservation, restoration

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004370

of the panangarastorations, I hope

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004371

you give priority to it.

Source

Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao

asr-004372

Thank you.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004373

Okay, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004374

Nag-uusap po kami

those, alam natin may kakaroon ng

El Niño.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004393

Yung lupa na binakit natin na

because most of the

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004396

irrigable land, eh,

Source

naging subdivision,

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004429

Chair, Secretary, how long you think

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004430

it's gonna be feasible?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004431

Yung study

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

will be completed by end of the year.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004435

meron naman kaming

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004436

once nandiyan na yan,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004437

meron kaming makukuha ng pondo

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004438

sa World Bank na available sa amin

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004439

para ma-implement natin yan

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004440

starting probably

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004441

mid-2027, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004442

And last part of question to Secretary,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004443

I think I also mentioned during the plenary last year about yung coffee natin.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004468

So, what do you think about kasi 94% is being acquired internationally?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004469

Tayo lang 4% lang yung atin. So, ano bang ano natin?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-004470

Kayo ba nagbibigay ng mga punla sa mga ganyan, or it has to be private? They have to buy it?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004471

Sa ngayon, Mr. Chair, for next year's budget, inakihan namin yung budget for yung coffee industry development, no.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004472

And basically ang pinakaunang gagawin is ma-increase yung nursery production natin

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004473

ng mga high-yielding variety, no, at yun ay pwedeng ipamigay sa ating mga landowners sa mga identified coffee growth areas natin.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004474

Of course, most of it will be in Mindanao, no, and some will be in Luzon, yung mga traditional like sa Batangas dahil may pangalan na yung kape nila, among others.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004475

But ayun, tuloy-tuloy at magbibigay rin tayo ng coffee grinders, coffee roasting equipment para ma-develop lalo yung industry natin dahil nakikita natin na laking potential din. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-004561

So itatanong lang po namin ano na po ba ang status po ng ating pong anggaddam?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004562

Yes, Mr. Chair. Actually, isa po yan sa inyotos ng ating presidente

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004563

na tumulong ang NIA po para tignan kung paano mabigyan po ng permanent

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004564

or pangmatagalang solusyon po ang baha sa Bulacan.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004565

Ma'am, you know, ang Bulacan po kasi, ma'am, may apat na ilog na bumabagsak po sa inyo.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004566

Isa po pinakamalaki is yung Norsagaray River.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004567

So wala na tayong problema kasi nandyan po yung anggaddam.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004568

Pangalawang malaki po ay yung Ipo River.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004569

Nandyan po yung Ipo Dam pero maliit po siya.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004570

Para siyang diversion dam lamang papunta sa Lameza Dam.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004571

At ang pangatlo, ma'am.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004572

Yung Bayabas River, which is, nabigyan na po ng Pangulo ng pundo

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004573

at tinatayuan na po namin ang dam ngayon.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004574

Ang laman po noon ay 54 million cubic meters.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004575

Ang pangapat, yung Matiktik River, pero maliit po yun.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004576

So ang rekomendasyon po natin sa ating Pangulo ay dapat meron bang isang dam sa Ipo.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004577

Which is, hindi naman na po pwede ang NIA na magtayo doon

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004578

dahil ang nakikita namin po na pwedeng tumulong doon

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004579

itong number one, itong MWSS, dahil makakatulong po ito sa tubig inumin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004580

Number two, Napocor, kasi pwede po nilang gamitin ito as pump storage.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004581

But nevertheless, yung i-report ko po sa ating presidente,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004582

yung pagkasina ng Rubber...

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004583

Yung Rubbergate 3 po.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004584

Opo, nag-release na po siya ng pundo para doon.

Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-004585

Gano'n po ang nilaan po nilang pundo para sa Rubbergate?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004586

1.5 billion, pero hindi na po Rubbergate.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004587

Opo.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004588

Halak namin ibalik.

Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-004589

So from Rubbergate, ano na po ang gagamitin po natin?

Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-004590

Bakal na po.

Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-004591

Steelgate.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004592

Adraulic steelgate na po.

Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-004593

Yung steelgate po na yan, gano'n po ang lifespan po ng ating steelgate?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004594

Actually, yung Rubberdump po, ma'am, is only 15 years.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004595

Yung Rubbergate natin, nakikita namin sa specifications na mga research namin

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004596

nung mag-market analysis kami, 45 years po yung lifespan.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004597

Opo.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004598

But of course, ang NIA is...

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004599

Ang requirement lang namin is...

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004600

It's allowed naman is 35 years, but yung kanilang specification ay umaabot po ng 45 years.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004601

Mas matagal.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004602

Mas matibay po siya.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004603

Mas matibay po siya.

Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-004604

Opo.

Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-004605

Kino-consider niyo po ba, engineer, na magkaroon po tayo ng rehabilitation at dredging po

Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-004606

ng ating pong angad dam?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004607

Well, ma'am, ang isa pong nakita ng NIA na immediate na makakatulong din kasi ang problema

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004608

po natin kasi is siltation.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004609

Opo.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004610

Kapag hindi pa po nalagyan ng mga dam sa upstream.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004611

May pag-aaral po kasi.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004612

Kami sa aming mga dam, kapag drainage po yung dam at malakas po yung siltation sa taas,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004613

may possibility po na lalong bababa yung siltation.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004614

So instead of dredging po, nag-propose po kami ng isa pang dam downstream of our Bustos

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004615

Dam, which is ginagawa na rin po ng NIA yan.

Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-004616

O nakikita nga po namin ngayon, malapit po siya doon sa may greenery.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004617

Yes.

Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-004618

Opo.

Source

Rep. Agustina Dominique "Ditse Tina" C. Pancho

asr-004619

Pero do you consider that as an impounding water facility to or separate pa po yan?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004620

Yes.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004621

Ang tawag po namin doon is after bay dam o after bay dam po kasi nakikita po namin, ang

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004622

billing kasi ng Presidente ka lang, maipon ano po, eh actually ang nakikita po po namin

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004623

possible po nalagyan pa ng isang ganon ay yung baba po ng ipo dam.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004624

Dapat meron pa pong isa doon na after bay dam.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004625

So imagine ma'am ano, the past few weeks, months na, na umuulan, hindi po nag-release

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004626

yung anggat kung napansin ninyo.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004627

In fact, kulang pa ng sampung metronome.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004628

So imagine ma'am ano, the past few weeks, months na, na umuulan.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004629

Hindi po nag-release yung anggat kung napansin ninyo. In fact, kulang pa ng sampung metronome.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004630

So imagine na mukhro para siya mapuno.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004631

So ang mindset po ng ating Pangulo – what if malagyan lahat ito ng dams at habang Ummuulan

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004632

walang nagre-release?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004633

Talagang malaki pong tulong.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004634

Ito po yung pagmagalang solusyon.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004635

Hindi lamang po yan, habi niya eh may bawi pa tayo dyan.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004636

Dahil kung anuman ang gastusin natin diyan, may bawi dahil sa balkwater, power generation.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-004637

Hindi na po hahayaan yung tubig na bumaba ba at makapanira bago po.

asr-004700

and everybody has parochial concerns.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004701

Everybody has,

asr-004702

although may DA programs din kami,

iba-iba ang plano, parang gano'n?

asr-004718

sa mga naiwan ng previous year

but then depende sa

50% pa lang ang na-accomplish.

2021 to 2026 pa, no?

fiscal year kung

tinaasan nyo

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004786

to 15.9 million per kilometer

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004787

yung cost. From, next slide.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004788

Next slide.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004789

From the

existing 9.4 million

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004791

per kilometer na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004792

FMR. Tama po ba yun?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004793

Hindi ganyan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004794

Mr. Chair, hindi ganyan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004795

Ang 2025 na cost

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004796

per kilometer namin was already

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004797

15 million.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004798

So, I don't know.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004799

Saan nang galing, Mr. Chair, 9.486.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004800

Okay. So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004801

kayo ang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004802

nagtaas niyan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004803

Tama po ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004804

It was originally 9.4.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004805

No. Nung pumasok ako,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004806

Mr. Chair, as Secretary of

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004807

Agriculture way back in

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004808

2023,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004809

November, 15 million na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004810

Mr. Chair. Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004811

Sige. Yung DPWH

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004812

nagbaba po ng mga cost.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004813

So, kayo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004814

pinanatili nyo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004815

sa cost na ito.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004816

Mr. Chair, ang

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004817

statement ko last year, bago nagkaroon

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004818

ng

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004819

ano ba ito?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004820

Yung, not the

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004821

flood control issue, it's yung

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004822

crisis sa Middle East

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004823

noong February.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004824

Dati, yung 15 million,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004825

ang computation, may

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004826

bababa namin to

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004827

13.5 million

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004828

to 14 million.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004829

But then,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004830

the crisis came and

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004831

everything went up. So,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004832

binalik lang namin sa 15 million,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004833

Mr. Chair. So, ibababa sana, pero

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004834

dahil sa crisis, ipananatili dito?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004835

Yes, Mr. Chair. Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004836

Ang concern po kasi dito, yung overpricing.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004837

As I said, yung DPWH,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004838

nagbaba significantly ng kanilang cost.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004839

Kayo, gusto nyong panatiliin?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004840

Sa ngayon, nakikita ko

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004841

sa aming computation,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004842

no choice but it may maintain dahil

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004843

talagang ang cost of

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004844

bakal, cost of fuel,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004845

construction cost,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004846

tumaas lahat, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004847

Okay, next slide. Ito po yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004848

proposed 16 billion

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004849

budget

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004850

for FMR

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004851

ng DA. So, nakita po natin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004852

nationwide, merong total of

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004853

703 FMR

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004854

projects

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004855

kalat-kalat sa mga region.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004856

Sinuri namin kung magkano

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004857

yung mga project at dun sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004858

second table, nakikita natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004859

Ang karamihan ay,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004860

from 15 to 30 million

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004861

and below.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004862

Okay, yung cost.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004863

So, kung logically, kung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004864

ang cost nyo, 15 million, 1 kilometer.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004865

So, tigwa 1 kilometer po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004866

Pero may nakita kami

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004867

na bumubukol

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004868

na ilang mga proyekto

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004869

na mas mataas sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004870

30 million, merong hanggang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004871

100 million,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004872

merong hanggang 500 million pa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004873

Isang proyekto

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004874

na 500 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004875

Merong 500 million para sa

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004876

farm-to-market road.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004877

So, kaya,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004878

I mean, sana maintindihan nyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004879

medyo, sabi ko nga, bumukol

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004880

ito. Kaya,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004881

magtatanong tayo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004882

Next slide. It so happens

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004883

na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004911

Maganda hong natanong natin niya, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004912

This year lang,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004913

nakita natin na dalawang

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004914

major issues

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004915

na nangyari sa atin in that area.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004916

Yung pagbagsak nung presyo

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004917

ng cabbage to

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004918

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

per kilo.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004920

Before the

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004921

crisis nung February.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004922

Ngayon naman, nakita din natin

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004923

yung

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004924

nagtapo na naman ng ganito

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004925

at kung ano-ano pang mga produkto

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004926

sa

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004927

lakas nung ulan-ulan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004928

Ang nakita namin

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004929

talagang major issue is

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004930

kulang ang FMR

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004931

sa mga areas na yan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004932

Plus,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004933

strategic yung paglagay niyan

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004934

dahil meron tayong ilalagay na

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004935

bagong

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004936

mega cold storage sa Benguet mismo.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004937

Sa lupa ng

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004938

Benguet State University

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004939

with processing.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004940

So technically,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004941

since we are putting up

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004942

a huge processing

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004943

that will cost about

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004944

minimum of 700 million pesos

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004945

to support yung La Trinidad

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004946

yung Baptisi natin doon

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004947

na food hub.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004948

Yung La Trinidad food hub

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004949

at yung mga private food hubs doon sa

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004950

lugar.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004951

So kailangan natin kumpletuhin yung

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004952

system and road network nila

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004953

para nga mas umangat

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004954

ang buhay at kumita yung mga taga-Benguet.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004955

Of course, people might say

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004956

na bakit Benguet?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004957

Well, it only starts with Benguet.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004958

Next year, papunta tayo

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004959

Mountain Province, papunta tayo

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004960

Ifugao, papunta tayo sa ibang-ibang lugar.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004961

Para nga,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004962

malaki ang production area

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004963

natin doon na talagang hirap na hirap

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004964

ang tao. At isa pa,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004965

kailangan din natin maglagay

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004966

ng mga tramline system besides the FMR

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004967

to complete the system, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004968

Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004969

ang concern po natin sa presentation

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004970

ng budget for FMRs,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004971

hindi po madetermine

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004972

kung gano'ng kahaba ba

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004973

ang mga proyektong ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004974

Merong coordinates.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004975

Pero the coordinates do not tell you exactly how long.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004976

It just tells you where it starts and where it begins.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004977

Diba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004978

For example,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004979

next slide, yung 500 million na yan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004980

kung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004981

i-enter natin yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004982

coordinates, ayan po yung tinuturo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004983

ng Google. Simula

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004984

at dulo. Pero meron na pong

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004985

FMR dyan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004986

Yung blue line na yan,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004987

there's already an

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004988

FMR. Bakit po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004989

ganon?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004990

Close up. Close up yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004991

That's a close up. There's already that road.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004992

So, kaya nga po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004993

gusto namin malaman,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004994

hindi sapat yung coordinates.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004995

500 million pesos,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004996

eh may kalsada na eh.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004997

Unless may iba kayong kalsada

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-004998

na gagawin.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-004999

Mr. Chair,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005000

kung ginamit hoon nyo is Google Map,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005001

talagang

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005002

kung saan yung point 1 to point 2,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005003

doon ilalagay ng software

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005004

yung kali.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005005

So, yan ho yung nakikita natin.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005006

But sa

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005007

sa sarili namin system,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005008

ano yung pangalan ng system natin?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005009

Well, yes. Okay. Kaya nga,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005010

ang point natin, from point A to point B,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005011

meron ng existing road.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005012

So, ano yung gusto nyong gawin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005013

na iba pang road?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005014

We cannot see that from your

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005015

budget proposal. So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005016

another detail.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005017

Meron pong isa. Punta tayo doon

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005018

sa coordinates na sa La Union.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005019

Yung La Union.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005020

In-enter po namin yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005021

coordinates. This is for a

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005022

well, 15 million lang to.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005023

So, in-enter namin yung coordinates.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005024

So, the starting point is in

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005025

on-land. The end point

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005026

is sa dagat.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005027

Okay?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005028

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005029

pwedeng nagkamali.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005030

Di ba? Typographical error

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005031

or maybe. Pero ang point ko po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005032

ang pangako ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005033

wala nang ghost project,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005034

beted na to. Pero kung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005035

talagang iisa-isahin mo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005036

may mga lumalabas pong ganoon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005037

Hindi naman po siguro sa dagat ang doon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005038

Tama po ba tayo?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005039

Well, definitely, hindi sa dagat.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005040

At we will check

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005041

yung nakalagay sa inyo.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005042

At nakalagay sa amin, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005043

And we will coordinate with the office of

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005044

your office.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005045

At parang malinawan lahat.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005046

But definitely, yung kalye, kung

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005047

meron na dati, ibig sabihin

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005048

ours might be an

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005049

alternative route or a different

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005050

route going to a different production area.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005051

Mr. Chair. Okay. So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005052

Mr. Chair, dahil wala nang oras,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005053

kung nalang po, yung mga proyekto

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005054

na more than

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005055

let's say

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005056

30 million, kung pwede po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005057

bigay na lang yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005058

more specific details

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005059

on each project.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005060

Dahil po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005061

ilan lang yan eh. Sabi ko nga, the vast

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005062

majority

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005063

from 15 million and below.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005064

Pero merong ilang handful na medyo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005065

kapansin-pansin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005066

Lalo pa nga, isa, 500 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005067

So, dapat po,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005068

dapat lang po naman, siguro, di ba, may scrutiny

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005069

tayo dyan. So, could we please

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005070

be provided with

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-005071

all the relevant, gano'ng kahaba,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

saan, and so on, to make sure

asr-005073

na

asr-005074

everything is

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005077

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005078

on hand with us now, and we are ready

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005079

to show it to,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005080

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-005086

ngayon ni Congressman Tino

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-005088

tinatanong. Thank you very much,

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-005089

Congressman Tino. And the next

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-005090

asr-005091

Representative

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-005092

Arnand Panaligan.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005093

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005094

Just a few brief

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005095

questions, hopefully, no?

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005096

In the presentation kanina, Mr. Secretary,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005097

good afternoon, and to the DA family,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005098

good afternoon. In your presentation

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005099

this morning,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005100

you mentioned that one of the key bottlenecks

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005101

across the value chain

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005102

in our agricultural production

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005103

is the low level of

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005104

mechanization. So I believe this

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005105

is the concern

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005106

of Philmec. Philmec

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005107

is the implementing agency

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005108

as far as mechanization

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005109

of our agricultural sector,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005110

particularly of the rice subsector is concerned.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005111

At yun din po aking concern,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005112

at concern din ng farmers na nakausap

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005113

ko whenever I conduct

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005114

meetings with farmers association,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005115

yung mga

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005116

equipment natin,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005117

mechanizations like harvester,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005118

tractors,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005119

I understand yun ay binibid ninyo,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005120

and therefore yun ay laging lowest bid.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005121

Am I right, Mr. Chair?

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005122

Laging lowest bid yun.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005123

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005124

But we know that yung lowest bid

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005125

is not necessarily yung best

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005126

quality.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005127

Ang nangyayari, ano?

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005128

Pwedeng lowest bid, but not

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005129

the best quality naman.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005130

So ang concern nila,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005131

yun daw napapadara sa kanila ng mga

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005132

mechanized equipment

Source

from Philmec,

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005134

particularly yung combined

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005135

harvester,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005136

low quality.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005137

Ang tawag nga ng farmers, disposable daw

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005138

yung mga combined harvester

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005139

kasi after a few

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005140

gamit nila,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005141

ay ilang gamit lang,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005142

ay nasisira na.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005143

Yun daw binigay sa kanila,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005144

prone to mechanical troubles

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005145

at no spare parts available

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005146

unlike yung mga

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005147

harvester na proven

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005148

brand names. Pero siguro

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005149

mas mahal ng konti kaya hindi na

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005150

award sa kanila. So yun ang concern

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005151

nila, prone to mechanical troubles,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005152

no spare parts available,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005153

hindi malinis ang blower,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005154

madumi ang palay, kasama yung

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005155

stock sa palay o sa grains

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005156

during bagging operations

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005157

unlike the other brands.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005158

So kaya ako pinirace ito dahil nga

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005159

kulang tayo sa pera,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005160

malaki ang nabawas sa budget ng DA

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005161

including siguro

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005162

sa mechanization program.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005163

So kulay na nga ang ating pera,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005164

we should see to it na

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005165

na ma-maximize yung binigay sa atin

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005166

at talagang

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005167

hindi nasasayang.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005168

So I want to raise this concern

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005169

na pwede ba, although alam ko

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005170

sa ating rules, lowest bid.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005171

Pero paano naman kung lowest bid nga

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005172

pero poorest quality naman.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005173

Di ba tayo ang nawawala nun?

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005174

Buko daw yung sa malakas

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005175

ang krudo. Yun daw inawardan ninyo

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005176

ay 20 plus liters

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005177

per hectare compared to

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005178

the other brand na

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005179

12 liters lang per hectare.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005180

So ang point ko dito, talagang

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005181

kung if you identified

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005182

yung low mechanization

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005183

as one of the bottlenecks,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005184

lalo magkakaproblema tayo

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005185

kung yun ang ating mga equipment na

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005186

pira-procure.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005187

Mr. Chair, definitely as a former

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005188

person in the private sector,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005189

I always want to buy the best equipment.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005190

So I totally agree.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005191

But if we can get some details

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005192

lang from you, I will ask

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005193

Phil Mech to go to you later to get

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005194

the details kung anong klaseng

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005195

makina yan, anong brand, ano yung mga

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005196

nire-reklamo. Then

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005197

pag-uusapan ho namin sa

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005198

Phil Mech at sa DA kung paano

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005199

natin ma-filter pa yung mga

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005200

low quality

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005201

equipment, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005202

Yes.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005203

Hindi ito kilalang brand eh. Ngayon ko rin lang narinig yun.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005204

Unlike ibang brand, I'm sure may idea

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005205

kayo kung ano yung mga

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005206

tinutukoy ko ng mga brand na kilala na.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005207

Next, of course, nakausap ko na si

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005208

Director Denise Solano

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005209

ng BSWM. I think this is a

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005210

very important component

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005211

also of our rice production.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005212

Kasi yung solar-powered irrigation sila nagpo-provide

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005213

aside from NIA. Hindi ko na

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005214

abalahin ng NIA. Masyadong maraming

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005215

concern na kanina.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005216

Pero yung BSWM, nagpo-ponderin sila

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005217

ng solar-powered.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005218

Ang concern ko lang, medyo matagal

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005219

din. Sa aking district, merong

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005220

two projects. Pero

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005221

October 2025 pa

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005222

na nakatenga.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005223

Pending with no movement.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005224

Hindi po ito parokyal kasi when I saw the list,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005225

nagreprise sa akin yung dating

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005226

director ng BSWM,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005227

naka-attach dun yung mga solar-powered

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005228

irrigation projects

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005229

ng BSWM. Marami eh.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005230

Buong Pilipinas. Buong Pilipinas.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005231

Hindi lang sa Oriental Mindoro.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005232

So this is such as a parokyal concern.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005233

I think the secretary,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005234

the good secretary should look into that.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005235

Kasi sayang po. LD nyo tayo ngayon.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005236

And I refer ko na

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005237

sa kanya kay Director Denise yun.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005238

So this is, I believe,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005239

happening not just in my district, but in other

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005240

parts. Sayang din po ang pera dyan.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005241

Second, ano po yung

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005242

last po. I have only 49 seconds.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005243

Babalik ba tayo doon sa

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005244

sistema ng fertilizer

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005245

distribution, yung voucher system?

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005246

Kasi ang problema,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005247

dati kasi voucher system, and the

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005248

farmers can go to an

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005249

agricultural store and

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005250

select a proven

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005251

yung tested nila,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005252

the fertilizer. Nung ngayon,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005253

yun daw kasi, kung nagagaling na sa central office,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005254

original office,

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005255

kung ang tawag nila sa mga

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005256

harvester ay disposable, ang tawag

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005257

naman nila sa dumadating na fertilizer ay

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005258

styrofoam. Kasi lumulutang

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005259

daw yung fertilizer sa tubig.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005260

So again, sayang ang pera natin.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005261

Considering na nagkat-

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005262

nagkat tayo rito. Kindly look

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005263

into that, no, Mr. Secretary po?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005264

Mr. Chair, for 2027,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005265

inorganic fertilizers will

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005266

be QR code voucher system.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005267

O maliktay sa voucher system.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005268

So yun lang po, ang aking gustong parating

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005269

based on my dialogue

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005270

with the Farmers Association.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005271

So hihinyan ko rin, Mr. Chair, ng report

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005272

at pupush yung dalawang

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005273

solar irrigation

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005274

sa Oriental Mindoro, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005275

At saka yung mechanized units from Philmec.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005276

Thank you, Congressman.

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005277

Panaligan, the next is

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005278

the Minority Congressman

Source

Rep. Arnan C. Panaligan

asr-005279

Robert Nasal.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005280

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005281

Good afternoon.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005282

Secretary Laurel, and good afternoon

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005283

to the DA family.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005284

Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005285

DA itself

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005286

says we still have

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005287

a 55,050

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005288

kilometer FMR deficit.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005289

Yep, the 2027

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005290

NEP cuts FMR funding

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005291

from 33 billion

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005292

in 2026 to only

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005293

16 billion, or

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005294

a 51.5% cut.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005295

May I ask the Secretary, Mr. Chair? Isn't around 1,000 kilometers a year simply too little to make a meaningful dent?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005296

Ano po ang implication nito sa agricultural productivity, production costs, post-harvest losses, market access, at income ng ating farmers?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005297

Mr. Chair, definitely kulang na kulang, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005298

Meron po bang scientific database method for determining which area should be prioritized for FMRs?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005299

Is it based on number of farmers, agricultural production, hectares served, commodities, connectivity to markets, poverty incidents, or other measurable criteria?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005300

Yes, meron tayong yung tinatawag na, Mr. Chair, na road influence area, poverty incidents, number of farmers or fisherfolk beneficiaries,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005301

distance to network links, present road conditions, climate change adaptation, average daily traffic, plus new production areas, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005302

Kasama na din po dyan ba yung parang ROI? So when we invest in a farm-to-market road, yung economic activity based on our production, and yung balik po sa gobyerno?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005303

Well, in general...

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005304

In general, we do that practice, but on real applications, hindi naman palahat ganon, kasi meron talagang tinatawag na missionary routes or missionary area na sobrang hirap, na konti production, pero ang laki ng potential.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005305

So you have to open it up, you have to put the road, and the benefits come later, lalo na sa poverty areas, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005306

Can you tell us, Mr. Chair, ilan po bang kilometro?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005307

Ilan po bang kilometro ang ideal na dapat fina-fund natin annually?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005308

Ah, kung akong tatanungin, Mr. Chair, maybe 60 billion a year?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005309

60 billion for FMRs?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005310

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005311

And how many roads will that build? In terms of kilometers, ilan po, dun sa 55,000 kilometer deficit natin, ilan po ang magagawa nun sa isang taon?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005312

Ah, 4,000 kilometers.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005313

So ideally, yan po ang bare minimum?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005314

Bare minimum.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005315

Bare minimum yan para in 10, 12 years tapos, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005316

Bakit po hindi yun ang, bakit po hindi yun ang hiningi natin sa, yun ang inindicate natin sa NEP?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005317

Fiscal space, Mr. Chair. We were told na ito lang ang fiscal space na binibigay sa amin sa initial NEP namin, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005318

Mr. Chair, nabanggit niyo po, Mr. Secretary, na ang DA can,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005319

construct FMRs at a lower cost than DPWH.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005320

Kaya niyo po ba talaga yan? And currently, can DA demonstrate it in terms of its absorptive capacity?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005321

And do you have the manpower to do it?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005322

For this year, we are, sa 33 billion na aming budget this year, we have allocated 30% muna ang gagawin ng DA.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005323

Dahil nga sa absorptive capacity and manpower restrictions.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-005324

But next year, we are more ready. And of course, the year after, we will be more ready, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005325

Thank you for that, Mr. Secretary and Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005326

To the NIA, Mr. Chair, may I ask the Administrator, we noticed a significant change in your fiscal year 2026 NIA budget.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005327

Projects became much more specifically itemized.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005328

And special provision number 8 was added, restricting modifications to the project list.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005329

Did these changes, Mr. Chair, help NIA implement its budget better?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005330

Or did they somehow contribute to the drop in your utilization?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005331

What was the actual effect dun po sa inyong implementation?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005332

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005333

Actually, bumaba po yung VOR natin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005334

Ano po, yung budget utilization rate natin ay bumaba po dahil napaka-strict, napaka-stringent po yung special provisions.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005335

So, based on your experience, ano hong budget structure ang ire-recommend nyo sa Kongreso?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005336

That will still preserve transparency and accountability.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005337

Pero hindi po maaantala yung inyong implementation.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005338

Well, Sir, Sir Chair, based on our experience, NIA prefers a program-based appropriation under PREC-C.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005339

Yung gaya po ng dati, before 2026, yung 2025 and prior, ganoon po kasi dati.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005340

But, of course, it will still be supported by detailed, validated, and transparent.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005341

A project list submitted separately, of course, to Congress and DBM.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005342

Magsasubmit pa rin po kami dun, ano po.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005343

Ang maganda po dito, this arrangement, ano po, provides the best balance between transparency and accountability.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005344

Congressional and DBM oversight.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005345

Lalong-lalo na po yung implementation flexibility, ano po, and responsiveness to actual field conditions.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005346

And yung timely and efficient utilization ng aming mga projects.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005347

Actually, this does not give NIA unlimited authority po to replace projects.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005348

Any adjustment must remain within the approved program and comply with budgeting, procurement, and auditing and reporting requirements.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005349

So, ang sinasabi nyo po, based on your previous experience, bago po i-implement yung Special Provision No. 8,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005350

wala po kayo naging problema sa utilization nyo.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005351

At madali kayong, mas nagkaroon kayo ng elbow room para i-implement yung projects.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005352

Yes, Mr. Chair. Tingnan nyo po, lalo na po ito.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005353

You have to understand po yung situation ng NIA.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005354

For previous years, minsan wala kaming QRF.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005355

Minsan, ngayon, 300 po ang QRF po natin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005356

E papasok po tayo sa LNU.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005357

Ngayon, minsan.

Source

At pag may bumaha, bumagyo, merong na-wash out na irrigation canal namin, may standing crop,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005359

halos hindi kami makagalaw eh.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005360

Hindi namin magalaw ngayon yung aming repair and restoration.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005361

So, minsan naman po kasi, may mga projects po ang NIA na although okay naman siya nung in-identify namin,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005362

kaya lang nung pag-implement, nagkaroon ng problema.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005363

Kagaya po ng aming mga solar pump irrigation projects na groundwater ang source.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005364

Totoo nga pong nag-replace.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005365

Nag-gumagawa kayo namin ng georesistivity.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005366

May tubig, nakikita namin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005367

Kaya lang pag-drill mo, minsan may tatama ang bato na malalaki.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005368

So, kailangan namin ilipat.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005369

So, imagine our predicament kung naka-geotag yun.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005370

Eh, kailangan mo lang ilipat.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005371

Kasi magiging ghost project siya eh.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005372

Pag wala siya dun sa georesistivity.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005373

So, kailangan lamang po namin ng kaunting flexibility rin po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005374

So, ano ho naging limitasyon na nakastipulate dun sa special provision number 8 na nalimita kayo?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005375

At hindi nyo nagamit, hindi naging usable yung project?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005376

May coming experience, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005377

Like, again, yung in-explain ko sa inyo kanina.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005378

And, for some reason, alimbawa po yung budget namin ngayon, across the board, na nagbawas.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005379

Kasi may naging problema sa highways.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005380

Pati kami, nabawasan yung aming budget.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005381

Pero hindi naman nabawasan yung nakalagay na line item.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005382

For example, construction of 100 meters irrigation canal.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005383

At, say, 10 million.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005384

Ginawa po siyang 5 million.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005385

The same pa rin yung nakalagay po sa line item eh.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005386

So, ang dilemma namin po ngayon, paano mo i-implement yun?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005387

Eh, binawasan ka ng budget, the same pa rin yun.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005388

So, mas maganda po sana talaga kung nakaprexy lamang siya.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005389

Para kahit bawasan kami ng budget,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005390

ang gagawin lang namin, i-discontinue namin yung ibang projects.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005391

Para, you know, kailangan po namin mag-early procurement eh.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005392

With this, with what happened,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005393

na bale wala po lahat yung early procurement namin

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005394

at wala kaming ginawa kundi mag-modify ng project.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005395

So, lalong delayed na nga kami na wala nang early procurement,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005396

wala pa kaming ginawa kundi mag-modify ng project.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005397

So, affected po ang implementation ng project.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005398

And one more thing, Mr. Chair, ano po,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005399

hindi po kami kagaya ng DPWX na any time of the year

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005400

pwede mag-implement ng project.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005401

Kami po,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005402

Pagka-ungoing yung irrigation namin ng kanals sa mga palayan, hindi namin pwedeng galawin yung aming kanal.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005403

So kailangan po namin i-timing talaga.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005404

Habang ginagamit po yung tubig, hindi pwedeng gumawa?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005405

Habang ginagamit po, hindi ka pwedeng gumawa sa irrigation kanal.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005406

Can you submit a proposal to this committee kung ano po yung mga special provisions na gusto niyong i-indicate?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005407

At ano yung proposal niyo in terms of yung, paano yung gusto niyong implementation para maintindihan po namin prior to plenary?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005408

Yung dati po na recommendation, actually kahit itanong natin ang DBM po,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005409

yung by prexy lamang po sana, program expenditure, ganun lang po sana ang natin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005410

Although yung line items namin, nandoon pa rin po, i-identify pa rin namin lahat, pero hindi siya naka-line item sa GAA.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005411

Pag-release ng SARO, doon siya.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005412

Nandoon siya. Para kung may changes, kaya nga po kami GOCC eh.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005413

Because GOCCs are allowed po na i-change namin yung project namin through sa aming board.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005414

Pag line agency ka, pupunta ka kay presidente.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005415

Can you submit that in writing, Mr. Chair?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005416

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005417

Tapos nabanggit niyo rin po, Mr. Chair, ni Administrator, na nabawasan kayo.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005418

When an irrigation project po is designed and costed at a certain amount,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005419

but Congress substantially cuts that particular line item,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005420

ano po ang nangyayari doon sa project?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005421

Can the remaining amount still deliver the intended functional output?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005422

Gaganap pa rin po ba yung project?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005423

Or ang nangyayari po ba ay if we end up with an incomplete irrigation project, hindi na natin ito magagamit?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005424

Mr. Chair, just to be clear, hindi po kami magtuturo kung saan nabawasan.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005425

Ang totoo naman yan, pag nandito kami sa Kongreso, dinadagdagan nyo naman yung budget natin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005426

But, you know, ang dilemma po kasi ng NIA, parang pag gumawa ka ng isang dam,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005427

hindi naman po pwede na bawasan mo yung dam kasi hindi mo matatapos siya.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005428

Yung isang maliit na gap sa dam na yan, pwedeng ikasira ng buong system.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005429

Hindi po katulad ng kalsada, na kung magkano lang yung budget, hanggang doon ka lang.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005430

Sa mga projects po ng NIA, hindi po pwede yung ganoon, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005431

Kaya dapat hindi mo talaga siya gagalawin kung ano yung in-identify ng NIA.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005432

Naalam namin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005433

Hindi na magtatapos doon sa budget, sa project po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005434

Ilan po yung mga projects na priority project, katulad ng mga binabanggit nyo,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005435

na nabawasan na ang nangyari hindi na natin nagamit last year?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005436

Last year, halos lahat po, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005437

Dahil hindi nga po kami nakapreksi.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005438

Siyempre kung magbabawas na ano yan, across the board yan.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-005439

So, halos lahat po nagalaw yung aming budget.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005440

So, Mr. Chair, hindi naman po pwedeng kalahating dam or kalahating irrigation system ang pupondohan natin.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005441

Kaya, when we make adjustments here in the House, or later in the Senate,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005442

I would just like to manifest that we have to consider the implementability of these projects,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005443

not simply the amount that we want to cut.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005444

My next question, I'd like to go to BIFAR.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005445

Mr. Chair, in 2024, BIFAR left 3.63 billion unobligated.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005446

Gentle reminder.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005447

1.102 billion in unused cash was reverted to the Treasury,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005448

and capital outlay utilization was only 21.54%.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005449

According to COA, the underutilization was mainly because projects were not implementation ready.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005450

Dahil dito, maraming benepisyo ang hindi nakarating sa fisher folk,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005451

boats, fishing gears, and safety equipment.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005452

Aquaculture infrastructure.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005453

Inputs, hatcheries, post-harvest facilities, fishery equipment, at livelihood assistance.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005454

At habang nasa BIFAR ang pera, hindi rin natin ito nailaan sa ibang programa na ready nang i-implement.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005455

Yet, BIFAR is asking Congress for 12.412 billion for 2027, including 3.61.4 billion in capital outlay.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005456

Bakit naman po natin sila bibigyan uli?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005457

What has changed that should give Congress confidence?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005458

That you can actually implement this budget?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005459

And what are your obligation in disbursement rates for 2026 as of today?

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005460

Good afternoon, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon, Your Honors.

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005461

I am Zaldi Perez, Assistant Director for Administrative Services of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005462

Please be informed, Your Honors, that the 2024 project was delayed because of, of course,

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005463

yung bidding process po natin.

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005464

It took us some time to prepare the terms of reference as well as the specifications of these boats,

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005465

which comprise po yung 50-meter vessels, 80-meter vessels, and then the 62-footer boats, Your Honors.

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005466

So that's why po nadelay ng konti.

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005467

It's because I think po nabid po namin siya later part na po ng 2024.

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005468

But it was successfully bidded out.

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005469

And then we obligated po preceding year po, which is 2025.

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005470

So all this project po is already ongoing right now.

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005471

And there is already a partial delivery of this patrol, of this 62-footer.

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005472

While that 50-meter and 80-meter is still under construction, Your Honors.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005473

Can you just submit a list, Mr. Chair?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005474

Magpapasubmit lang po ako ng list of projects na kukompletuhin nila for 2024.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-005475

Okay, pakisubmit na lang yung list na hinihingi ni Congresman.

Source

BIFAR Assistant Director for Administrative Services Zaldi Perez

asr-005476

Yes, Your Honor.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005482

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for those kind words.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005483

And let me now, therefore,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005484

thank Secretary Kiko Laurel and the undersecretaries.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005485

I see my neighbor there, Roger Mercado, my good friend, the Clark National Hub proponent, Ari.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005486

Nagsalita na rin si Yusek Oliveros, Yusek Perez, and the others also.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005487

So thank you, number one.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005488

I have this letter on August 28, 2025.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005489

I ask you for cacao, coffee seedlings, durian, longko, etc.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005490

Your regional director delivered double.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005491

Then what I ask, thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005492

And that is the great, the dedicated, Roger Pacamalad.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005493

Where is Roger?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005494

Can you stand up for the camera?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005495

O, camera, pakikuhan nilang kay Roger.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005496

Apollo, Apollo, Apollo.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005497

Apollo Pacamalad, doble sila eh, mga friends ko.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005498

Also, Mr. Chairman, I ask also for farm-to-market roads.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005499

And again, you gave double to what I asked, the additional.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005500

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005501

So, it's true.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005502

You gave me more.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005503

Now, my question is, Mr. Secretary, what is now the share of Mindanao, six regions, six regions?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005504

Because last hearing, also August 28, 2025, our share was only 12%, and you promised that it will reach 20%.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005505

Because Mindanao gives 40% of our food requirements.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005506

With our corn, 70%.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005507

With our pineapple, 80%.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005508

Banana, 60%.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005509

And other crops.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005510

The time is continued, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005511

Can we have the return three seconds?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005512

Mr. Chair, mas malaki siya since last year, but still 11% pa lang.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005513

Bumaba.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005514

Bumaba kung 11.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005515

12 na kami last year.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005516

No, no, sorry, sorry.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005517

Mali sinabi sa akin, kinokorek na.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005518

20%.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005519

Kasi we expect Mindanao is the food basket of our country, and I am in Mindanao.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005520

20%, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005521

So, how much is that?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005522

20%, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005523

20 daw.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005524

20% na?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005525

Are you sure?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005526

We thank the Secretary and the entire DA family.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005527

Now, I'd like to ask Yusek, Yusek Aray, Yusek Navarro, and Yusek Ching Bernos to say something.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005528

Yeah, your request to Congress.

Source

DA Undersecretary for Agro-Marine Industrial Systems Arrey A. Perez

asr-005529

Thank you.

DA Undersecretary for Agro-Marine Industrial Systems Arrey A. Perez

asr-005530

DA Undersecretary for Agro-Marine Industrial Systems Arrey A. Perez

asr-005531

Thank you, Kong.

Source

DA Undersecretary for Agro-Marine Industrial Systems Arrey A. Perez

asr-005532

Thank you, Chairman.

Source

DA Undersecretary for Agro-Marine Industrial Systems Arrey A. Perez

asr-005533

Undersecretary for Infrastructure of the Department of Agriculture, of course, we definitely need augmentation for FMRs.

Source

DA Undersecretary for Agro-Marine Industrial Systems Arrey A. Perez

asr-005534

As clearly mentioned by Representative Nasalo, that we badly needed more roads, particularly for our farms.

Source

DA Undersecretary for Agro-Marine Industrial Systems Arrey A. Perez

asr-005535

So, on target.

Source

DA Undersecretary for Agro-Marine Industrial Systems Arrey A. Perez

asr-005536

So, what we want is not just 1,000, which is 16 billion for this year, but hopefully, for next year, hopefully we can triple that.

Source

DA Undersecretary for Agro-Marine Industrial Systems Arrey A. Perez

asr-005537

Kasi nga, the balance is 55,000.

Source

DA Undersecretary for Agro-Marine Industrial Systems Arrey A. Perez

asr-005538

Malayo pa po ang ano, napakalayo para mabawasan natin yung gap.

Source

DA Undersecretary for Agro-Marine Industrial Systems Arrey A. Perez

asr-005539

So, so far po, at least yun, kung may ibigay sa amin, additional 2,000 kilometers, equivalent to 30 billion, that would be much appreciated.

Source

DA Undersecretary for Agro-Marine Industrial Systems Arrey A. Perez

asr-005540

Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005541

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005542

With our chairman, we approve your request.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005543

Triple it.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005544

Thank you.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005545

Si Yusek Roger.

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005546

Maraming salamat po, Kong.

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005547

Ang alam naman po natin na kailangan talaga natin yung post-harvest facility, no?

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005548

Not only dryers, but also cold storages.

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005549

Kasi ang nakita namin, in terms of losses for post-harvest facility across all commodities,

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005550

sa abot tayo ng mga 250 billion.

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005551

250 billion po, every year.

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005552

So, you can just imagine kung 250 billion yun.

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005553

Kung ma-frontload lang natin yung 250 billion, and then we can construct a post-harvest facility all over the country,

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005554

baka mawala na yung importation natin, kasi ma-address na natin yung quality, at saka stability of supply, and of course, stability of price.

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005555

So, sana po, ma-increase lang natin yung ating post-harvest budget.

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005556

By how much, Yusek Navarro?

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005557

This time around, kasi nandyan.

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005558

Nandyan lang tayo sa mga post-harvest na kalagay kasi rito, sir.

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005559

Lalo na sa aming NFA, 11 lang tayo ngayon, no?

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005560

How much?

Source

NFA Administrator Larry R. Lacson

asr-005561

We are proposing for 2027, Yusek, around 6.5 billion.

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005562

Dapat, nandun tayo, double yan, sir.

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005563

Sa rice lang kasi yan, eh.

Source

DA Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro

asr-005564

Ang gusto kasi natin, mayroon pang corn.

asr-005565

Eh, ako kasi yung corn ni sir.

development program is one of the priority programs of the DA.

asr-005601

which is, currently, we only have 1.7 billion.

And, ah, the post-harvest losses does not only start at the production level.

It goes down to the distribution.

is, is to have that increase po, Mr. Chair.

Since the inception of high-value crops in 1995, we were pegged with only 1 billion, ah, budget.

Chairman, we propose a total of 125 million for irrigation.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

You gave, the NEP gave zero. Zero.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005866

No irrigation, may upland, no water.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005868

And then we ask you also for water, solar water pumping irrigation, also not included.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005870

However, Mr. Chairman, we had a very good consultation the other day with our administrator.

from the...

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005919

in the PAF.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005920

I was told by our regional director, Director Tornilla, that we have enough funds to cover

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005921

not only the farmers for the three crops initially, rice, sugar, and corn, and the fisher folks,

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005922

but we also have for our high-value crops farmers.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005923

So mabalus po na da kula.

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005934

Mr. Chairman, may I ask from the National Dairy Authority and the Philippine Carabao

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005935

Center regarding our milk production, local milk production, may I ask them to join us

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005936

here?

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005937

The NDA plays a crucial and much appreciated role in the implementation of the Masustansyang

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005938

Pagkain para sa Batang Pilipino Act.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005939

As one of the lead agencies of the milk feeding program.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005940

However, I would like to know, get the information from your agency, how much is really being

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005941

produced by our local dairy farmers?

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005942

Mr. Chair, as of 2025, as of 2024, excuse me, the milk production was just 29 million liters.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005943

But as the PSA data shows, as of 2025, we increased it to 43 million, 43 million liters.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005944

But still, we agree on the observation that it's still not enough for the entire milk

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005945

feeding program.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005946

That's why we resort to sterilized milk, milk production.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005947

Okay.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005948

I see from your report that you have exceeded your targets for 2026.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005949

In fact, you have produced 21% of your milk.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005950

Okay.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005951

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005952

And you have produced 21% more than what you have produced for the same period between

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005953

January to June of 2025 at 25.38 million liters.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005954

And yet, this is just, what, 90%?

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005955

90% is still imported?

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005956

How much is still the percentage of imported dairy?

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005957

Madam, Mr. Chair, as of today, as of 2025, we have also increased the milk sufficiency

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005958

of the country.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005959

From 1% for the longest year to 2.2%.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005960

You're right.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005961

Still, the imported dairy is, in the average, 98%.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005962

During the hearing with the Department of Finance, as we were discussing the proposed

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005963

progress bill of the President, it was admitted by the Department of Finance that we, that

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005964

they are recommending...

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005965

We are recommending that fermented and flavored milks remain as exempted to the sweetened beverage

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005966

tax.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005967

And it is because that is what is being used in the feeding program of our school-based

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005968

children.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005969

And our target for school-based children is, how much is our target?

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005970

4.5 million?

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005971

Yes.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005972

Mr. Chair, for 2026, it's 4.5 million.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005973

4.5 million.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005974

And you have a 3 billion budget for this?

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005975

I mean, the DSWD and the DepEd has allocated for their fresh milk feeding program around

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005976

3 billion.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005977

Yes, for NDA, it's about 3 billion.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005978

It is just for DepEd's milk feeding program.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005979

Not included the DSWD milk feeding program.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005980

Oh, okay.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005981

So, it's still higher.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005982

And it was you who said that that's the best incentive for our farmers.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005983

That's right.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005984

To go into the field?

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005985

Yes.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005986

That's the best incentive for our farmers.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005987

That's right.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005988

That's right.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005989

Yes.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005990

dairy. Because if there's a demand, because we have a law, there's a demand for fresh milk.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005991

And let me just emphasize that what we are feeding our children now, these fermented milk

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005992

and flavored milk beverages, a single serving provides around 9 to 21 grams of sugar. That's

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005993

around 2.2 to 5 teaspoons of sugar per serving. So instead of helping our kids be more healthy,

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005994

be healthier, we are giving them this craving for sugar at a very young age. So kailangan po talaga

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005995

i-fast track natin ang ating programa sa dairy production, local dairy production. So can you

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005996

tell us, kanina si Congressman Rufus asked you,

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005997

for cattle, but I want to see the total picture, ano ang ginagawa ngayon ng National Dairy

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-005998

and the Carabao Center for us to at least move forward so that we can produce our own milk

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-005999

for our children? Tama po, Mr. Chair. One of the reasons po bakit hindi dumadami ang ating

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006000

milk production is napakakonti po ng ating mga alagang gatasang hayop. Dahil po sa mahabang

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006001

panahon, ang ating mga iniimport ng mga alagang gatasang hayop,

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006002

duretsong binibigay po sa farmers. At more often than not, ang mangyayari po dyan ay mamamatay.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006003

But for this year, nakapagtayo po tayo ng mga stock farms. Stock farms na kung saan natin po ilalagay

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006004

ang mga imported animals para sila ma-acclimatize muna. Doon po muna sila magpaparami at pagka

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006005

dumami na po sila, meron na po tayong source ng mga island-born dairy cattle na mas madali

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006006

pong alagaan ng mga dairy farmers. Yan pong ginagawa po natin. Kaya yung mga dadating po natin

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006007

mga imported dairy animals this October, hindi po natin magpaparami ng mga imported dairy animals.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006008

Yan diretsong ipamimigay muna. Dahil malamang sa malamang, mamamatay po yan. Ilalagay po na

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006009

natin sa stock farms yan para maklimatay sila, dumami sila, at doon natin kukunin yung ating

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006010

ipamamahagi kasi island-born na po sila.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006011

Aside from yung ating cattle, kailangan rin nila ng particular grass, di ba? Kasama rin po ba yan sa programa ninyo?

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006012

Tama po yan, Mr. Chair. Dahil po, kasama po sa binigay na budget po sa ating

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006013

NDA ay yung pagpapagawa ng mga feed centers. Ito po mga feed centers ang tutugon sa pangangailangan po ng ating mga

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006014

dairy farmers pagdating po sa pakain. Dahil alam naman po natin, ang prinsipyo sa dairy, garbage in, garbage out.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006015

Pakainin mo ng basura yan, basura ang gatas niyan.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006016

Sinabi ninyong feeds, ano yun, magtatanim sila ng grass?

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006017

Yes, not just grass po, including corn. Depende po sa lugar. May mga lugar po talaga na maganda magtanim ng mga corn.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006018

May mga lugar naman po na maganda magtanim ng mga corn.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006019

Magtanim ng grass, katulad po ng napier. At yung mga harvest po yan, dadalim po yan sa mga feed centers natin,

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006020

kung saan yan ipoprocess para maging silage po, at upang ipamahagi po sa ating mga dairy farmers.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006021

Sa presenting budget po ninyo, ano po ang na-anticipate ninyong increase sa local milk production?

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006022

And with the additional incentive for our farmers, kasi may ready market, may strong demand,

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006023

ang mga school feeding program, ano po ang nakikita ninyong targets for the next?

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006024

Mr. Chair, actually, pagdating po sa milk feeding program, wala na po kami talaga ang maireklamo dahil napakagandang budget ang naibigay po sa National Dairy Authority para sa milk feeding program.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006025

Noong mga nakaraang panahon po kasi, ang problema ng ating mga magagatas, tumutulo po ang gatas, walang bumibili, literally tinatapon.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006026

But because of this milk feeding program, naingganyo po sila na alagaan ng hayop nila magpagatas.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006027

And that's one of the reasons why nag-increase ang milk production, dahil pinagahanda nila ang milk feeding program.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006028

Now, pagdating naman po sa budget ng NDA, may iiyak po kayo sa neb na naibigay sa amin.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006029

Nasa P216 lang po. Taman-tama lang po yung pang-sweldo. Actually, kulang pa po.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006030

Kaya po, napakasakitignan na ang mga kawani po ng NDA, sumusweldo pero walang gagawin.

Yung P3 billion na budget para sa milk feeding program ay direct ang mapupunta sa mga farmers at sa mga cooperatives, hindi po ba?

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006032

Yes, po.

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006033

At hindi naman talaga sa NDA.

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006034

Yan po yung pera po ng debit for milk feeding program.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006035

Yung pera po ng debit for milk feeding program ay binigay po sa NDA at sa PCC upang ipamili namin ng gatas sa ating mga dairy farmers gamit ang sagipsaka.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006036

Kaya mas madali po natin may bibigay ang ating servisyo o ating mabibiling gatas sa mga farmers dahil diretsyo po natin ipoprofure sa kanila yan.

Source

NDA Administrator Marcus Antonius T. Andaya

asr-006037

Hindi na po sila magpapatayan sa presyo.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006038

Okay, so tingnan mo yung sitwasyon ng NDA.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006039

Huwag mo masyadong, talagang kulang na kulang talaga sila sa pod.

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

Salamat po, attorney.

Thank you so much.

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006046

Maraming salamat po, sir.

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006047

Baka kausapin ko na lang po kayo in private yung National, yung Carabao Center.

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006048

May mahalaga lang po akong gustong itanong sa Sugar Regulatory Administration.

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-006049

Hello.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006050

Good afternoon, sir.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006051

Ngayon, pinag-uusapan natin ang impact ng training.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006052

Sa sweetened beverages.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006053

Nag-impose tayo ng 2018 ng 6 pesos sa refined sugar na ba ito?

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006054

Sugar.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006055

Raw sugar.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006056

Raw sugar.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006057

And sa fructose naman ay mas mataas.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006058

And palagay ko mas gamay po ninyo yan, sir.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006059

Gusto namin makuha sana ang trend.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006060

Since 2017 up to the present.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006061

Yung volume.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006062

Volume of sugar consumed and bought by type of industry.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006063

Hindi lang limited sa mga sugar beverages na industry.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006064

And isabay na po rin ninyo yung demand for artificial sweetener.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006065

Kasi I think next week, napag-uusapan po sa Ways and Means Committee,

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006066

yung proposal ng Department of Finance na dagdagan ang buwis para sa sweetened beverages.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006067

Yes.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006068

And kailangan po natin makita rin ang impact nitong buwis na ito kung meron man sa ating local sugar farmers.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006069

Kasi naandito si Congresswoman Subiri, I'm quite sure, interesado siya malaman kung anong impact nito sa local farmers natin.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006070

So, kailangan po namin yung data na kung maaari maibigay po sa amin para magkaroon tayo ng trajectory ng sugar trading.

Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-006071

And then anong magiging impact ng dagdag buwis kung meron man sa ating local farmers.

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-006072

Yes, po, Mr. Chair, we will provide your office with the data.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-006073

Okay, thank you, Honorable Lagman.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-006074

Next, the Chair recognizes Apu Romeo Momos Senor.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006075

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006076

I will go direct to my parroquial concern, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006077

I have three questions, one for Philpida, one for BFAR, and one for NIA.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006078

Mr. Chairman, Mr. Secretary,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006079

Surigao del Sur, particularly the Municipality of Marihatag, is considered one of the major producers of high-quality abaca fiber.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006080

In fact, ranked number four among the abaca-producing provinces, producing 4,140 metric tons of abaca fiber in 2025,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006081

about 7.4% of our national production, and the only abaca-producing province which posted a positive 10% growth rate,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006082

while the rest of the provinces producing abaca are all in negative growth rate.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006083

Right now, a road network connecting the production site to the main national highway and market centers are about to be started,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006084

funded by the PRDP program, the program of the World Bank.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006085

And Municipality of Marihatag, kahit na maliit ho siya, six plus munis,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006086

six plus municipality was able to post or to share 30% as a counterpart, which is 30 million po.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006087

The area being developed is an IP community po, Manubo tribe ho ang nandyan,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006088

and just recently been declared insurgent-free.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006089

Dahil yung lugar na yun ho dati ay hindi mapuntahan ng tao dahil talagang insurgent area, rebel infested yun.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006090

And therefore, most of the farmers are rebel returnees.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006091

In order to help the Manubo tribe and the rebel returnees,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006092

thus the establishment of Abaca Agro-Industrial Corridor in the Municipality of Marihatag, Surigao del Sur,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006093

which was endorsed by RDC as one of the top 30 implementation-ready priority projects in Caraga.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006094

Kompleto na ho ng papili sito. May feasibility study ang lahat-lahat.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006095

Kompleto na ho ng papili sito. May feasibility study ang lahat-lahat.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006096

The total project cost is 739 million.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006097

But this year ang hiningi lang nila is 47 million lang po para to start with.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006098

Actually ang 47 million is for the establishment of Abaca Consolidation and Processing Center, if I am right.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006099

So para lang ho tayo maka-start, para ho mayroon ng bahay kung sa ibig sabihin pa.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006100

Para tuloy-tuloy na ho ang ating programa.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006101

Mr. Secretary, wala ng ibang provinces ang may ganun potential in Abaca except Surigao del Sur.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006102

Kaya nga ho kailangan siguro nating matulungan.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006103

My question is ang 47 million ba ay naisama natin sa ating budget this year, 2027?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006104

Mr. Chair, ang sagot diyan is yes. Kaya lang nasa tier 2, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006105

When you mean tier 2, Secretary, is it not part of your budget, part of the GAO or your NEP right now?

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006106

Because there are tier 1 and tier 2s. I would suppose that's part of...

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006107

Mr. Chair, ang problem daw, sabi namin USIC for Finance, hindi na-approve yung Tier 2 namin.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006108

How do we go about it, Mr. Secretary? I think this is one of the best programs TILFIDA ever had.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006109

Sige, sir. Meron kaming option. Kailangan lang talaga natin kalagyan ng bahay. May bahay na ba yan?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006110

Kailangan lang namin lagyan ng bahay. Meron kaming World Bank na pwedeng i-access, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006111

Actually, the 47 million is just for i-bahay so that the next budget, it will be Tier 1 na. Sana eh.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006112

Sige, well, Mr. Chair, we will endeavor na mailagay natin. Tulungan natin, Mr. Chair, na malagay sa budget past Tier 1 kahit lagyan lang ng 5-10 million, then kami nang bahala magdagdag.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006113

Yes, po. In our side, we'll do also our part. My next question is addressed to BIFAR.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006114

Of the 13 municipalities and one city in my district, 1st District of Surigao del Sur, 13 of these municipalities are situated along the coast.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006115

And therefore, 40% of our inhabitants, people in Surigao del Sur, are fishermen, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006116

Our produce, the production, whatever derived or caught from fishing, are supplied.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006117

Supplied to our neighboring municipalities, provinces, and cities. At dahil dito po, kami ang nagsusupply.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006118

Right now, ito lang ho ang problema. Right now, although we are producing enough fish for reconsumption of our neighboring provinces and cities, wala ho kaming cold storage po.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006119

Kaya yung aming mga fishermen ay mapilitan i-binta ng mura kung panahon na maraming kuha.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006120

So sana po, I have been, in fact, a resolution has already submitted, a resolution from the Municipality of Liangga, where the proposed cold storage will be established.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006121

E nandito na ho, nasabit na last year pa po. Sana mabigyan ng priority po ito.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006122

Yes, Mr. Chair. Saan exactong lugar, Mr. Chair?

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006123

Actually, Mr. Secretary, Barangay St. Christine, Liangga, Surigao del Sur.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006124

Yes.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006125

Yes. Liangga po.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006126

Yes, sir. Ang lagayin ho na ito, Mr. Chair, is ice plant and cold storage.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006127

Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006128

And the last, Mr. Chairman. In my district, this is addressed to NIA. In my district, I have two NIS, National Irrigation System.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006129

And that suggests that we have thousands of irrigated farmlands.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006130

Producing so much number of rice.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006131

Kami ho ang nagsusupply ng mga, ng palay sa Gawaw, sa Cagayan de Uro, sa Marawi City.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006132

Because of the two NIS.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006133

My only problem now is, bakit ho dalawang NIS, 5 million lang ho ang allocation?

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006134

Dahil sa 5 million lang ang allocation, I would, parang nakikita ko ho na ang mga repair, maintenance, as well as upkeep.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006135

Of the NIS is never enough.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006136

And therefore, not enough, no?

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006137

And therefore, it will, of course, reduce the production of rice per hectare.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006138

Kung hindi natin masusupplyan ng sufficient number of water, volume of water required.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006139

Kaya nga ho, kailangan ho sana natin madagdagan ang ating requirements.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006140

Dalawang NIS po, ha?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006141

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006142

Siguro nakita ni Honorable Congressman ito.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006143

Ang proposal namin sa isa, 2 billion eh.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006144

Talagang 2 billion pa ang proposal namin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006145

Ang pet project po namin doon na isa is yung Tago Riz.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006146

Nag-propose po kami doon nga ng, at saka yung repair ng Santa Filomena CIS, 250 million.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006147

Pero tama po kayo, dalawang 5 million lang ang lumabas, sir.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006148

But again, isa po.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006149

Ito kasi sa priority natin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006150

In fact, isa ito sa pinakamalaking hingin nga natin ang punto.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006151

Kung meron po tayong additional, sir, babalikan po namin ito.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006152

Mr. Administrator, I have been here in Congress and I've been a vice chairman of the Committee on Appropriation for 8 years now.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006153

And never in any instance I heard an agency na sobrang kanilang allocation.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006154

Laging kulang po.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006155

Ang question ko lang ho, how do you allocate that meager budget you have?

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006156

Kasi po, kailangan equitable ang distribution.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006157

Not equal.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006158

But equitable.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006159

Mindanao po is i-breadbasket natin, di ba?

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006160

Dapat ho, may problema si Ropos, kulang.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006161

Si Amatod, Congressman Amatong, kulang din.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006162

Lahat-lahat kami yata, kulang buong Mindanao po.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006163

Ang irony is, we are the ones supplying ng pagkain dito sa Metro Manila.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006164

And why not put some bigger share even in the allocation of budget for irrigation?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006165

Yes, sir.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006166

Actually po.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006167

Ang NIA kasi.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006168

Again, ulitin ko po, Mr. Chair, ang na-priority po talaga na bigyan namin ng pondo are the ongoing projects.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006169

But kung mapapansin, bibigyan po ko po kaya ng listahan, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006170

Kapag kami mga savings po ang NIA, lagi namin nilalagay po lahat sa Mindanao.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006171

I will give you po a list, yung modification po namin this year, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006172

Makikita nyo po na pupunta halos lahat sa Mindanao yung aming budget.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006173

And lastly, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006174

Lastly, sinabi ni Presidente nung panahon,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006175

sa Suna, na ang tataposin nila, in fact, that is also the directive to the Department of Public Works and Highways,

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006176

tataposin nila yung mga ongoing projects.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006177

In my district po, 60 milyon na lang ang kulang ng Santa Pilumina Dam.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006178

Sana papangsyon na siya.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006179

Sana po ang lagyan natin yan.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006180

Kasi that's the priority of the President.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006181

Yung tapusin yung mga proyekto ng nabimbin po.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006182

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006183

Iipa-priority natin po yan.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006184

Thank you, thank you, Administrator.

Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006185

Thank you, Secretary.

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-006186

And thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-006187

Thank you, Apo, Rep. Momo.

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-006188

The Chair recognizes Rep. Reynald Michael Tan.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-006189

Si Apo.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006190

Sorry.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006191

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006192

And good afternoon, guys, Secretary.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006193

And the rest of the administration.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006194

And the FDA family.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006195

Anyway, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair, I have some few questions lang.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006196

Pertaining to the FMR of the 2025, which we considered as FLR,

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006197

what is the current status of the farm-to-market roads of the 2025 budget?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006198

Yung sa 2025, Mr. Chair, yung sa 2025 na farm-to-market na 23 billion,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006199

na FLR doon is 10.7.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006200

From what I understand, yung 5.7, i-re-release soon.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006201

So, what is the reason na i-re-release yung 5 billion plus at saka yung the address na ay hindi ma-re-release?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006202

I think it's more of the budget yan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006203

We always request, the DA always requests, Mr. Chair, na i-release lahat yan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006204

Then,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006205

it depends sa cash flow, I guess.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006206

Kaya, yung 10.7, 5.7,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006207

mas buwang in-advise lang kami ng DBM na i-re-release nila for now.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006208

So, Chair.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006209

Thank you, Sir Chair.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006210

And in connection with the farm-to-market,

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006211

for the 2026 budget,

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006212

mabuti din na andito din si Yusek Arig.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006213

He was in Saumar, I think last month.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006214

So, at least nakita talaga yung situation namin.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006215

So, Mr. Chair, I just wanted to raise that

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006216

yung detalye po nung farm-to-market is, I think, 5 meters yung width at saka 2.2 mm or meters yung thickness.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006217

200 mm yung thickness.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006218

But, however, kasi yung situation namin sa Saumar, Secretary,

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006219

medyo wala pa kaming masyadong road

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006220

papunta mismo pa lang sa barangay.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006221

Like, yung na-observe ko in some other provinces,

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006222

na talaga may road na sila access going to the barangay

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006223

and papunta na talaga sila sa farm.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006224

So, sa amin, because alam mo naman yung sitwasyon natin,

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006225

951 barangays in the entire province.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006226

So, medyo may mga more or less pang 10% pa kami ng mga barangays na walang road.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006227

So, we...

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006228

Utilize the farm-to-market leading to the barangay pa lang.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006229

So, however, nagkakaroon dyan ang mga overlapping.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006230

Minsan yung DPWH yung nag-fund.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006231

Minsan naman yung farm-to-market.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006232

Pero, with the guidelines ngayon na 5 meters yung width at saka 200 mm.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006233

So, parang it does not align with the DP.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006234

Kasi sa DP is 6 meters yung width at saka mas thicker yung...

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006235

Like, 0.2...

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006236

23 meters yung thickness.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006237

So, is it possible ba na pwede ba natin ma-adjust yan?

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006238

At least the same na lang yung sa DP at saka sa FMR.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006239

Kasi parang medyo masagwa din tingnan na 6 tapos magpa-5.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006240

Then, sa unahan na naman magsi-6 kung DP naman yung mag-continue.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006241

So, magkakaroon kami ng konting problema.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006242

So, parang...

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006243

So, parang...

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006244

So, parang...

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006245

So, parang...

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006246

So, sa physical na hitsura nung road.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006247

And at the same time, pag na-open na yung road natin, medyo marami na rin yung mga vehicle na pumapasok.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006248

Malalaki na vehicle.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006249

So, chances is, the more thick yung road natin, the better yung maglalast din siya.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006250

And lastly, yun sa 20% na elevation.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006251

Medyo hilly kasi yung probinsya natin.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006252

There are a lot of winds hilly.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006253

So, kailangan natin ng...

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006254

Kanal, kailangan natin ng slow protection, and so on and so forth.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006255

So, I don't think na kakayanin yung 20%.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006256

Baka lumagpas kami ng konti, Secretary.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006257

Mr. Chair, definitely.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006258

Well, binabago na nga namin yung classification instead of concreting.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006259

Ginagawa namin construction para mas may flexibility, lalo na doon sa mga terrain na medyo difficult or needs slow protection.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006260

Meanwhile, yung sa...

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006261

Sinasabi natin na mga bagong road opening at baka kulang nga yung thickness doon sa mga bagong kali dahil dating hindi pa dinadaanan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006262

Meron tayong option na using the same budget but using soil stabilizers muna for the first few years para nga makompact muna siya.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006263

But then, that's cheaper per kilometer.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006264

So, pwedeng...

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006265

Option, yung 15 million na 1 kilometer, baka maging 4 kilometers yun with soil stabilizers or 2 kilometers at least or 2, 3, no?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006266

Using the soil stabilizers.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006267

So, yun ang isang option na depende na sa inyo kung gusto nyong gamitin.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006268

Lastly, yung whether 6 meters or 5 meters.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006269

Well, I agree with you na mas magandang pareho na lang kami ng DP, no?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006270

But...

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006271

Yun na nga.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006272

I guess we'll just have to talk to DP and agree.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006273

But of course, if we do the 60 meters by 230 meter thick, it means din, mas maikli din yung magagawa namin per year.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006274

Mas iigse.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006275

So, for our own purpose.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006276

So, it depends siguro kung ano yung magandang direction talaga.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006277

So, yun lang, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006278

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006279

And, Secretary, maybe we can consider also yung issues namin dito sa summer.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006280

But, of course, we will always comply with the guidance of the Department of Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006281

And, lastly is to the NEA.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006282

I have observed that since 2025 up to present, mukhang mas declining yung funding natin for the entire Region 8.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006283

So, I think that we can consider also yung issues namin dito sa summer.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006284

Kasi nung 2025, parang 2.1 billion yung for the rest of the Region 8.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006285

Nung 26, 1.6.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006286

Ngayon, 149 billion.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006287

A million, hindi billion.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006288

149 million for the entire Region 8.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006289

But, however, hindi naman na nag-lock tayo ng mga proposal or hindi naman na reason na kulang, wala na tala, natapos na lahat ng mga needs.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006290

Ng mga irrigation.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006291

Well, in fact, 8 billion yung buong Region 8 yung sinabmit.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006292

Pero, yung na-approve lang natin is 149.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006293

What is the reason behind kaya, Mr. Chair?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006294

Again, Mr. Chair, kagaya ng presentation namin kanina, out of the 200, almost 250 billion na request natin is 46 billion lamang po ang nasanep.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006295

And, of course, na-priority pa po yung mga Tier 1 o yung mga ongoing natin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006296

So, marami po kasing ongoing ang niya ngayon, mga projects, at meron pang apat na malalaki na projects.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006297

But, again, kapag meron po kaming mga modifications,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006298

po, kino-consider po namin yan.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006299

Ang

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006300

katubig, yung katubig

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006301

doon po sa inyo

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006302

po, at

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006303

stern, and basta yung area

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006304

na po yan. Kasi talaga, totoo naman,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006305

nakita ko po yung talagang napakaluwang

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006306

ng area ninyo, na hindi po napatubigan

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006307

at meron naman pong ilog talaga.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006308

Ang

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006309

kaya po

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006310

sa ating mga modification po,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006311

siya po yung naka-priority.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006312

You know, let's

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006313

wait po muna doon sa

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006314

approval po, noong aming

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006315

request for this year.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006316

At makikita nyo po na magkakaroon po yan

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006317

ng budget.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006318

But for the NEP po kasi,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006319

talaga nakatali po kamay namin

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006320

sa mga Tier 1 projects po.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006321

And for the

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006322

budget of the day, ano ba yung

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006323

sa inyo? Specific ba? Naka-line item

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006324

or

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006325

naka-itemized per project

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006326

or programs? Or may

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006327

lamsam tayo nito?

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006328

For 2027?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006329

Actually, naka-itemized po.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006330

Kaya nga, nire-request namin na sana

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006331

preksi siya, by preksi.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006332

Para kung may mga projects po na

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006333

although okay naman nung

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006334

ma-identify at hindi may mga

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006335

problema, magamit pa po natin sa

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006336

ibang shovel-ready

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006337

projects like in your province,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006338

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006339

Mr. Chair, and

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006340

can I ask also a copy of the

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006341

per province? Kung how much is the

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006342

allocation for the 2027? For the entire,

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006343

uh, country.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006344

And, uh, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006345

yung mga hindi nag-qualify

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006346

sa modification or bumagsak siya

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006347

sa modification because hindi siya

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006348

implementable, what, ano mangyayari

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006349

sa mga funds for 2026 po?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006350

Mr. Chair, actually,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006351

yung mga funds na, yun, very

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006352

restrictive po talaga.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006353

Yung, uh,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006354

nakalagay po sa special provision namin.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006355

So, pinag-uusapan namin sa opisina,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006356

instead na magamit namin ngayon sa

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006357

ibang projects,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006358

hintayin namin na, you know, mag-lapse

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006359

siya ng two years bago mo siya

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006360

ma-modify ulit. Kasi, yun po yung

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006361

nasa provision namin. Sayang po talaga, eh.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006362

So, that's why, uh,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006363

we were asking po kanina na kung pwede

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006364

matulungan kami at, uh, may balik

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006365

sa by-flexi po yung ating

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006366

budget para po more flexible

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006367

kami at, uh, mas madali

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006368

mag-implement as marami pong

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006369

ma-maximize po natin yung ating budget, Sir Chair.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006370

I'm hoping, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006371

na mas madagdagan pa

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006372

talaga yung pondo ng,

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006373

uh, DA. Kasi,

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006374

alam naman natin na very crucial din to,

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006375

uh,

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006376

department for the entire country.

Source

Rep. Reynolds Michael T. Tan

asr-006377

So, thank you. Thank you.

Source

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-006378

Okay. Thank you, Honorable

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

asr-006379

Rep. Joseph S. Tan

Thank you, uh, Mr. Chairman.

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006386

Magandang hapon po sa ating lahat.

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006387

Parang alas 5 na po. Ano mag-alas 5?

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006388

5 na po lang.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006389

Uh, iiksian ko lang po,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006390

pero magsisimula po ako sa isang

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006391

pangyayari na nabanggit ko na po

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006392

kay Yosec Array, pero gusto ko po

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006393

marinig ni Secretary

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006394

Laurel at ng, uh,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006395

uh, kanyang

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006396

top official sa Department of

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006397

Agriculture.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006398

Uh, I think it was in the month of

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006399

April when I had

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006400

the occasion to meet

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006401

with a group of

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006402

farmers in the

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006403

municipality of Kamaligan.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006404

And, uh, Kana'man,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006405

these municipalities are within

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006406

my district. Ang kwento nila,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006407

yung sinasaka po nila

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006408

involving around 150

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006409

hectares. Pero yung

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006410

difficulty na na-experience nila

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006411

ay yung pag-

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006412

karga, pagbuhat

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006413

noong produkto nilang

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006414

palay sa tabi, sa kalsada.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006415

And it caused

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006416

the farmers

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006417

20 pesos per sack

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006418

up to 80 pesos per sack

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006419

para madala lang

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006420

sa tabi.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006421

Ibig sabihin, kung meron saan

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006422

ng farm-to-market roads,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006423

bababa dramatically

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006424

yung hauling cost

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006425

at ito ay

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006426

tulong natin sa mga magsasaka

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006427

sa lugar. Ang tingin ko

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006428

yung ganitong sitwasyon ay hindi lang

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006429

totoo sa mga bayan na

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006430

aking nabanggit, maging sa iba pa.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006431

Okay.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006432

Now,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006433

doon po sa budget ng

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006434

Department of Agriculture involving

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006435

the farm-to-market roads, I understand

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006436

that the approved budget

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006437

for the year 2026 was

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006438

33 billion. Pero

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006439

yung ngayon ay 16 billion

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006440

yung NEP natin. Ang

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006441

binabanggit na dahilan,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006442

fiscal space.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006443

Yung tanong ko po, noong 2026

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006444

ilan ba yung

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006445

ilan ba yung

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006446

NEP na naisapit?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006447

Ah, 16 billion din

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006448

if I recall, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006449

Ah, 17, 17, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006450

So, ibig sabihin, naduble.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006451

Naduble. Ah, nung lumabas

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006452

yung GA, naging 33.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006453

Sana, gano'n din po

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006454

ang mangyari ngayon. From

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006455

66 billion to

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006456

33 billion, kasi yun po yung

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006457

hinihingi po ninyo.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006458

Subo-suporta po ako sa gano'ng

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006459

kahilingan po ninyo at sana

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006460

maibigay po talaga yan

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006461

ng House of Representatives

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006462

at ng Senado.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006463

At kapag nangyari po yun,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006464

makikiusap po sana kami,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006465

nadagdagan yung

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006466

go to irrigation.

According to

Perez, yung limited

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

access to irrigation limits our

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006484

productivity. Tama po yun.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006485

At yung pakiusap ni Secretary,

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006486

suportahan ang NEA

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006487

for more irrigated lands.

yung

Yes, sir. Ang aming

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006504

GAA for 2026, sir,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006505

is at 64,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006506

63.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006507

60.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006508

63 billion.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006509

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006510

And yung NEP natin ay 46.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006511

Tama po ba?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006512

And NEP for 2027.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006513

For 2027. Ibig sabihin,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006514

73% noong

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006515

approved for 2026.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006516

Tama po ba? Okay.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006517

In that regard,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006518

I would like to bring

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006519

to your attention the

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006520

predicament of

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006521

NEA in my district.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006522

Yung ipinakita po

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006523

sa aking

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006524

projects ay 41.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006525

And I understand that these were already

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006526

validated.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006527

Involving the total amount of

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006528

990 million

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006529

pesos. Pero yung nakalaan po

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006530

ay dalawang project lang.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006531

Yung isa, 3 million.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006532

Yung pangalawa, 9 million.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006533

Or a total of 12 million.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006534

12 million.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006535

Parang disproportionate.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006536

Pwede ho bang ma-adjust

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006537

to at least 73%?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006538

Tama po yan, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006539

Actually, ang proposal po namin

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006540

for 2027

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006541

is

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006542

235 billion po.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006543

How much po?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006544

235.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006545

Magkano po?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006546

235 billion po.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006547

Ayun yung proposal po ninyo.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006548

Pero yung nasa NEP po ninyo, yung nasa NEP...

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006549

In your district, Mr. Chair,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006550

and the district of the honorable

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006551

Congress,

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006552

is 1,021,000,000 po.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006553

Hindi lang sa 900.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006554

Ba't tama po kayo?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006555

Ang na-approved lang sa NEP natin

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006556

is 1,900,000 at saka 1,300,000

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006557

lamang po.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006558

Actually, 990 million po yan. May nakasama pong

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006559

Tigaon at Minalabak.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006560

These are outside my district.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006561

Kaya kapag inalis mo po yan,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006562

990 million lamang po.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006563

So, yung request ko po

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006564

ay adjustment, proportionate adjustment.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006565

Kung maari po sana,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006566

given na...

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006567

kung ma-adjust

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006568

to 73%.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006569

Ang ibig kong sabihin, kung ang naibigay

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006570

last...

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006571

this year is 73.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006572

Baka pwedeng yung 73% doon.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006573

Which is equivalent

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006574

to the

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006575

NEP. O kaya,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006576

kapag na-adjust po natin sa mas malaki,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006577

baka pwedeng yung

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006578

corresponding number of

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006579

projects and budget.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006580

Finally, last.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006581

With respect to

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006582

BIFAR,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006583

mayroon po kami, sekretary, na

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006584

legislated hatchery.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006585

And this was sponsored

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006586

by former

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006587

Congressman Gabby Bordado Jr.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006588

who is now with

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006589

LGU Naga.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006590

Pwede ho ba mga

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006591

10 seconds more or

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006592

15 seconds?

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006593

So, naipangako po po kay

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006594

Congressman Gabby Bordado Jr.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006595

na susuportahan ko po

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006596

yung legislated hatchery.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006597

Sa Bumbon.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006598

Operational na po ito,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006599

pero hindi masyadong

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006600

na ma-maximize yung potential nito.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006601

At ang ipinopropose po natin

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006602

sana, yung aquaculture farming.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006603

Tatlo po yung

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006604

naisip po nating project, yung

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006605

conversion ng mga pigiri

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006606

na hindi na nagagamit into

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006607

a concrete pond.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006608

Pangalawa,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006609

yung fiber fish tank. At

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006610

pangatlo, yung earth pond.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006611

And I understand, with respect to the

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006612

third, ay merong ipinapahiram

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006613

po na

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006614

excavator, ang BIFAR.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006615

May tatlo po sila. Sana

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006616

ma-maximize po natin

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006617

yung utilization nito.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006618

So, meron po akong naisubmit sa inyong

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-006619

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006679

kung tama ako, tinatawag

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006681

seed program ba yun?

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006682

Seed system program?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006683

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006684

Magkano po ba

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006685

ang

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006686

budget niyan sa

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-006694

Ang total budget po natin

sa Caraga

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-006696

ay nasa

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-006697

34 million po all interventions

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-006698

na, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006699

Yung specific na

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006700

program na yan para sa seed system?

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-006701

Naka-disaggregate po ito

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-006702

by region.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-006703

Sandali.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-006704

For the specific project po,

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-006705

yung tinatanong niyo, Mr. Chair,

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-006706

meron po kasi kami dito

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-006707

yung total.

Source

DA Undersecretary Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero

asr-006708

But you want to disaggregate?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006709

For the interest of time na lang,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006710

Mr. Chair, kasi alam nyo,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006711

nagkakagulo na nga sa Dinagat

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006712

dahil mining, mining.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006713

So, parang

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006714

hindi na natin nasuportahan yung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006715

agriculture, ang mga tao

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006716

puro na lang nagtatrabaho sa mining

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006717

tapos hindi naman binibigyan ng sahod.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006718

Yan yung concern ko sa DNR

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006719

nung budget briefing nila.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006720

Kandi, Secretary,

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006721

give an assurance

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006722

na

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006723

baka kung kinakailangan

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006724

kung kulang yung pundo sa

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006725

seed system program sa Dinagat,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006726

madagdagan natin

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006727

if necessary, Mr. Chair.

Source

and commit to fund it, Mr. Chair.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006734

Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Then sa NIE, doon sa natitira pa na hindi natin napatubigan, hindi na repair, admin, may budget pa ba tayo doon sa mga natitira na hindi na repair pa na report dati na irrigated?

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006735

Yes, sir. Actually may out of our request for the Dinagat Island is for, ang na-propose sir sa aming request is 32,600,000 pa po. Yung for 2027.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006736

Thank you for that information. Alam ko naman na mayroon talagang area na kahit anong gawin, wala talagang tubig.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006737

Ang hindi ko maintindihan, yan yung reklamo ko. Bakit nilagyan ng budget?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006738

Doon, alam naman nila na walang tubig. But anyway, nandiyan na yan. Hihintayin ko na lang. Magtatrabaho naman sa tingin ko yung mga naka-assign ngayon doon.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006739

Now, doon sa national issue, Mr. Secretary, because I represent the power sector, nag-uusap na ba kayo ng Department of Energy?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006740

Paano natin i-resolve yung issue na...

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006741

Marami na akong nakita na mga solar farm na pang-agriculture ang area?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006742

Buti natanong nyo, Mr. Chairman. Sa Soma ng NIA po, mayroon na kami na construct na around 100 megawatts po na solar power pumps sa buong bansa.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006743

At ang assessment namin na yan is, ito lang pong first quarter ng 2026. So nadadagdagan pa po.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006744

Now, ang gusto sana namin, ang proposal namin po sa Department of Energy is that sana itong mga pumps namin may connect po sa, para makapag-supply kami sa electric cooperatives.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006745

Kasi tamang-tama po ito doon sa zona ni Presidente na wala ng service. Kasi directa po ito eh. I mean, embedded po ito eh.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006746

Wala ng transmission charge.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006747

Wala ng transmission charge. Kaya, suwak na sakpo sana ito.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006748

By the way, sir, magkakaroon po kami ng pilot project po sa Ilocos Norte with the INEC. Pagka naging successful po yun, tinitingnan namin that would mean around minimum of 600 million po na income sa NIA.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006749

And we are offering it for only 4 pesos per kilowatt hour po. Mas mababa pa sa singil ng DOE.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006750

So, Admin, what I am suggesting is...

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006751

Kapitbahay naman po kayo ni Admin Nani. Mag-usap na lang po kayo in the case of electric cooperatives kasi maganda po yung magkaroon ng ugnayan.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006752

Ang issue po na tinatanong ko kanina kay Sekretary, yung mga lupain natin na sakahan na ginagamit na pang solar farm. Yan po yung tinanong ko kanina, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006753

Mr. Chair, nakatatlong meeting na kami with DOE in the last few months. Actually, last week was yung buong DOT.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006754

E-team plus yung Sekgarin was in my office. We have a agri-photovoltaic project with them.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006755

Malinaw sa amin, pag ang high-value crops ang involved, no issue. Dahil meron na kaming study na lumalabas na dun sa ibang high-value crops like sile, eggplant, and others.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006756

Actually, mas maganda yung production with shaded area kasi nga in between.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006757

Doon sa bigas naman, yun ang aming main issue as of the moment.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006758

Hindi pa kami pumapayag totally na maglagay ng solar sa rice land.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006759

But meron kaming mga research na gagawin very soon sa aming mga DA stations sa Bohol at sa isa pa sa Mindanao to study how this can work.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006760

But kung wala pa yung conclusive study, as of the moment, ayaw namin kung flat land for rice or others.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006761

Meron din yung...

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006762

Pero pumapayag kami sa ngayon na yung lahat ng 8% slope, more than 8% slope, walang issue sa amin, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006763

Mr. Secretary, napakahalaga po yung issue na tinutukoy ko kasi pareho natin kailangan pagkain at saka kuryente.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006764

Ngayon kung matagal po natin mayayos, ang ibig ko pong sabihin, matukoy na natin ngayon at the DOE will be guided kung saan.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006765

Kasi kung magkakaroon tayo ng project doon tapos masita ni DA, dahil ay hindi pwede yan, gagastos na yung mga investor, etc.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006766

So mas maganda siguro na kahit inisyal, maka-identify na tayo ng mga area na pwedeng mapaglagyan para guided si DOE.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006767

Kasi yung transmission natin, ay ididikit po yan doon sa planta.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006768

Malaki po, billion-billion po yung cost ng transmission.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006769

Baka makatiwangwang kung ano.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006770

So what I am suggesting is, these are all issues of national significance, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006771

Yes, Mr. Chair. Meron din kaming unwritten agreement sa ngayon with DOE na all existing projects na naumpisahan na

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006772

o kaya na bigyan na nila ng permit, itutuloy.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006773

Yung mga bago lang ang hinapahold namin para maayos yung policy framework.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006774

Meron kaming nabanggit kaninang earlier this morning na i-geotag na namin yung mga reserved areas for agriculture, geofencing pala,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006775

para malinaw na sa lahat kung anong pwede, anong hindi, kagaya ng binanggit ninyo, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006776

And we'll hopefully finish the geofencing by end of this year, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006777

Thank you for that information, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006778

Panghuli na lang, Mr. Secretary.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-006781

Can you brief this representation kung paano natin i-implemento yung Animal Competitiveness Fund?

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006782

Mr. Chair, basically, sa taxes na magkakolekta natin sa importasyon ng mga meats natin ng bansa, from chicken, pork, and others,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006783

magkakaroon natin.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006784

Mayroon tayong 20 billion a year ang ating livestock industry or animal industry.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006785

Majority dyan, initially, ay lalagay natin sa repopulation, about 4 to 5 billion out of the 20.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006786

So, 25% ng budget na yun will be doon ilalagay.

asr-006837

particularly po ang mga backyard hog raisers.

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006839

po doon sa 150 pesos to 160.

asr-006849

especially yung ating livestock group,

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006850

ang situation na ito.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006851

Actually, sa Mindanao, meron pa tayong mga farmgate na 120 na lang.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006852

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006854

nangyari din ito last year but not as bad,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006855

is basically yung ASF.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006856

Natatakot ngayon.

asr-006857

Natatakot ng mga farmers na tamaan ng ASF,

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006858

lalo na sa rami ng ulan.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006859

Tuwing umuulan, lumalabas ulit ang ASF

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006860

dahil hindi hoon namamatay ang virus

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006861

kahit na binaon natin sa lupa ang baboy.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006862

So tuwing ulan, lumalabas ngayon sa groundwater

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006863

at bumabalik ang ASF.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006864

At supply and demand ang nagdidikta ng presyo ngayon.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006865

Maraming hog farmers na nagpa-fast break

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006866

at ina-unload yung kanilang stocks

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006867

dahil nga natatakot na tamaan ng ASF.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006868

Dahil mayroon na sila sigurong narinig na may ASF na.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006870

na biniblame nila yung importasyon ng baboy.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006871

Pero pinakita ko sa kanila na sa Mindanao,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006872

wala naman importasyon masyado ng baboy, no?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006873

Sa Pilipinas.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006874

More of Luzon.

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006875

Pero ang presyo na 120.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006876

That's what kaya ang assumption namin as of the moment

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006877

is nagpa-fast break din yung mga taga Mindanao

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006878

kasi nga natatakot sa ASF.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006879

Ang magandang balita naman,

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006880

siguro in coordination with kong Nicky Briones

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006881

at sa push din niya,

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006882

ay yung ating vaccine for ASF

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006889

ang ng ASF vaccine ng ating mga hog raisers

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006890

para maprotektahan nga at mag-stabilize ang presyo

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006891

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006892

Thank you po, Osek.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006893

Ang follow-up question ko po dyan,

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006894

kung sinasabing nyo po ang Mindanao at Visayas,

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006895

okay po ang supply po nila ng karne po ngayon?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006896

No, ang sinasabing ko lang, Mr. Chair,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006897

is bagsak din ang presyo ng farm gate.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006898

Sa Visayas at Mindanao.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006899

Kung bagsak po ang farm gate,

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006900

ang presyo ng karne po sa buong Pilipinas,

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006901

gaano po kalaki ang ini-import po nating karne sa kasalukuyan?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006902

I'm quite specific sa ating cuts

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006903

kasi ang main, Mr. Chair,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006904

ang main na apektohan is yung pork cuts

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006905

tsaka bellies.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006906

Yung pork cuts, yun yung kasim tsaka pigi.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006907

Sa data ng DA, actually,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006908

2025 was the highest in recent history, no?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006909

Pero katulad ng pork bellies,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006910

noong 2025, 9,000 tons a month ang importasyon.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006911

Pero for 2026, bumaba siya to 8,000 tons a month lang.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006912

Pagdating sa pork cuts noong 2025,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006913

29,800 tons.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006914

Tons a month siya.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006915

Pero 2026, as of August 24, 25,000 tons lang.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006916

So bumaba actually ang importasyon for this year

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006917

compared sa last year.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006918

So it means healthy yung ating industry.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006919

Problema lang talaga, nagpa-fast break ang industriya

Sa Farmgate, pero ang presyo ng karne,

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006926

mataas pa rin po.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006927

Ano po?

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006928

Ano po ba yung intervention na ginagawa po ng DA?

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006929

Aside from importasyon.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006930

Tama po, okay lang po yan, may importation tayo. Pero short term, short term yung goal lang po ito.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006931

Ano po yung pang long term natin para po tayo makatulong sa ating mga farmers, sa ating hog raisers?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006932

Mr. Chair, I would just like to clarify na hindi, ang DA is not in favor of continuous importation.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006933

Ang position namin, kung pwedeng i-restrict yan, but unfortunately, meron tayong tinusunod na WTO rules.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006934

At pwede lang natin i-increase ay taripa.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006935

Nag-request na ho ang DA sa ating economic managers na kung pwedeng itaas ang taripa ng baboy at ibalik sa dating taripa.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006936

At ngayon, meron din tayong move na, and we are working with the tariff commission na yung jowls na tinatawag,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006937

o kaya yung pangaba yun, ay i-classify.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006938

I-classify na hindi na siya o-false, i-classify na siya at passport cut para itaas yung taripa.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006939

Yun ho, yun lang ang madalis at pinakamabilis na supportang pwedeng ibigay natin sa ating mga hog raisers, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006940

Mr. Chair, I appreciate the explanation of Secretary Laurel.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006941

Siyempre po, ito po naman na inquiry lamang, pero siyempre po, at the end of the day,

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006942

this representation fully supports the approval of your budget.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006943

Sa bagong budget ng DA po at saka ng NIA, sana po huwag po natin kalimutan ang ating mga maliliit na backyard hog raisers.

Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-006944

Yun lamang po, and thank you po, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006945

Yes, definitely the DA would like to help the livestock sector, lalo na yung mga nagbababoy at nagmamanok.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006946

At sa bagong budget na makukuha namin for the livestock, talagang repopulation and increase in population,

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-006947

langan para mabawasan ang importasyon at makalaban tayo, Mr. Chair.

Sa isa, from the minority, Representative Ma'am Zubiri.

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006950

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair. At magandang hapon po sa ating mga bisita galing sa Department of Agriculture,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006951

lalong-lalo na sa ating butihing Secretary, Secretary Francisco Chula.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006952

Magandang hapon po.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006953

Bago po ako mag-umpisa, sana payagan niyo po ako na magbida ng konti tungkol sa Bukidnon.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006954

Because this year po, naglabasan ng report for 2025 na Bukidnon is the top province in value of production in agriculture and fisheries and crop production

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006955

out of the 2.42 trillion pesos output of the Philippines.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006956

And so out of that 2.42, ang Bukidnon po.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006957

Sa agriculture and fisheries, 162.3 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006958

Habang ang sumusunod po ay nasa 94.2 billion.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006959

Ang crop production po ng Bukidnon ay nasa 105.58 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006960

Habang ang sumusunod ay nasa 50.18 billion.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006961

Habang ang livestock po, out of the 420 billion ng country,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006962

ang output coming from Bukidnon is 36.09 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006963

And syempre, gusto ko po magpasalamat sa ating mga kaibigan sa DA.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006964

Dahil syempre, alam ko naman po na hindi natin ma-achieve ang mga numbers na ito kung wala ang full support ng Department of Agriculture

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006965

sa aming farms, sa aming mga farmers, and sa local government unit and provincial government unit ng Bukidnon.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006966

So thank you very much, Secretary, sa inyong full support.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006967

And we hope na ngayong 2026, kami pa rin ang top performer.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006968

Now, having said this, no?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006969

I would like to inquire, kasi given nga our numbers, may nabasa lang ako dito sa ating reports na medyo nalito lang ako ng konti.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006970

So I would like to ask for clarification from our friends sa NIA tungkol sa ating Bukidnon 3rd District budget from the NIA.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006971

Kasi ang nakalagay po dito was yung RDC endorsed noong 2025, nasa 772 million.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006972

Noong 2026, bumaba sa 500 million.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006973

Noong 2010, habang sa 2027, ang RDC endorsed is 273 million.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006974

And may I clarify lang, kasi dito sa ating form dito, ang nakalagay sa NEP for Bukidnon 3rd District ay zero.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006975

But I would like to clarify this, no?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006976

So we can discuss this further kung ano ba talaga ang tamang amount para sa Bukidnon with our friends from the NIA.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006977

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006978

Please just give me a time.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006979

Kasi siguro, gaya nga nang sabi ko, napakaganda ng mga output natin sa Bukidnon.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006980

So I would like to clarify this.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006981

Hindi naman siguro, kaya maganda mag-clarify muna.

Source

Rep. Jose "Bong" J. Teves Jr.

asr-006982

Pinakamagandang record ang Bukidnon, tapos according to Congresswoman, is zero.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006983

Yes, ma'am actually

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006984

Kaya ako nagulat din dahil na...

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006985

Alam ko naman, ang Bukidnon talaga isa sa pinapangandang probinsya pagdating sa agrikultura.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006986

So marami po kaming proposals.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006987

And you know, pupunta kami sa opisina niyo, makikipag-tulungan po kami.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006988

Mag-courtesy na lang po kami.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006989

Ah, sige.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006990

So itong ating current figure dito, hindi pa naman final?

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006991

Hindi lang nila na-update, Mr. Chair.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006992

Hindi lang nila na-update po.

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006993

I'm sorry, could you repeat that please?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006994

Hindi ko masyadong marinig.

Source

NIA Administrator Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen

asr-006995

Yes, bukang hindi po nila, hindi po updated yung...

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006996

Ah, okay. Hindi siya updated.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006997

Bukang, baka nahulog yung isang one.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006998

Sige, okay. I'm glad to hear that.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-006999

Kasi syempre, you know, ayoko naman na hindi natin ma-keep up yung ating reputation as Bukidnon being the top producer.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007000

E pag nawalan kami ng support from the NIA, may hirapan kami to produce all this agriculture,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007001

which I think is very badly needed by our country.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007002

And I would like to think that Department of Agriculture, especially NIA, will continue to support Bukidnon

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007003

para we can continue to support the country's agricultural needs.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007004

Okay, thank you very much to our director.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007005

Our second doc, my second question, of course, goes to our friends from the SRA.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007006

Hi, good afternoon, Admin.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007007

Kamusta na, Admin Ascona?

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007008

Good afternoon po, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon, ma'am.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007009

May hapon.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007010

So, last year, I remember we worked quite closely.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007011

And trying to increase the budget, or actually trying to increase the budget of the SRA.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007012

Because, syempre, as a sugar-producing province, talagang nakikita namin ang impact at ang napakalaking effect at tulong ng SRA.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007013

And we wanted to increase your budget from 2 billion to maybe 3 or 4, no?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007014

Kaya lang, I was very disappointed to find out that, number one, hindi natin na-increase ang inyong budget.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007015

And even more so, more disappointed to discover na yung 2 billion na dapat naka-alot sa inyo,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007016

1 billion na naka-alot sa inyo.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007017

So, 1 billion pa rin lang ang naibigay sa inyo sa ating last budget.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007018

Do you mind updating me on why, what was the final explanation? Bakit 1 billion lang napunta sa inyo?

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007019

Yeah, Mr. Chair, we were informed of, once again, utilization problems.

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007020

So, there has been new guidelines on procurement, which actually delayed a lot of our utilization.

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007021

So, we're still hoping to make it up in the last 3 years.

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007022

We're also planning po, ma'am, to reallocate some of the budget into our quick response fund for the RSSI infection,

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007023

as well as the mitigation on El Niño.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007024

What programs or mandates of the SRA are currently affected by this lack of budget?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007025

Would you be able to tell me?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007026

Or because of the insufficient appropriations?

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007027

Yeah, well, Mr. Chair,

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007028

since the SIDA program po is pre-allocated by the law,

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007029

so, from 2 billion to 1 billion po, it cuts everything by 50%.

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007030

So, malaki po yung effect sa amin po.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007031

So, parang across the board, talagang naka-annuation proportion din siya?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007032

So, lahat yan, kasama yung ating mga infrastructure, yung ating mga block farm programs, ating mga scholarships, no?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007033

Lahat yan matatamaan, especially, and I think this is not the time for that to happen,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007034

given na ang lakas.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007035

Okay, ng threat ng El Niño na hinaharap natin, and syempre yung ating RSSI.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007036

And with regard to RSSI, I'm very happy because the last time nag-usap tayo,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007037

alam ko na nga ako ang SRA na maghahatid kayo ng Presidential Assistance for Farmers program sa Bukidnon.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007038

May I ask on the status of that current program?

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007039

Yeah, we're still ongoing po, ma'am, on the releases.

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007040

Yung total po na ayuda for the whole industry, umabot na ng 420-something.

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007041

Million.

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007042

So, we have, this is, most of it is coming from the SWD, and as of my last knowledge,

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007043

we released, I think, almost 100 million already.

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007044

So, this is farmers and workers na po.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007045

Out of that 100 billion, how much was allocated for Bukidnon?

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007046

I am not currently aware of the percentage, ma'am.

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007047

I'll provide you with the information.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007048

Okay, I will look forward to that information.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007049

Sana, since given that Bukidnon is one of the...

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007050

one of the biggest sugar-producing portions of our country,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007051

and currently, actually, nag-umpisa tayo at only about 30 hectares.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007052

Pero sa ngayon, ang aking latest calculation na natanggap ay nasa 576 hectares na in just a span of 3 months.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007053

So, I'm deeply concerned as to how much more we're going to be looking at.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007054

And my last question is, of course, for our friends from the DA and Region 10,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007055

ang understanding ko is, meron kayong request, no?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007056

For expanding our laboratory budget, for our laboratory budget from our DA in Region 10.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007057

Currently, magkano ba ang budget na nakatanggap ng ating regional office

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007058

para sa mga biological control and other issues such as that?

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007059

Hello po.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007060

Yung, in terms of capacity to respond to RISIS-I,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007061

early first quarter, yun.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007062

We have 5 hectares per day.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007063

Now, when the RISIS-I reaches up to 1.1% infection rate,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007064

we raise our capacity to 20 hectares.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007065

Three weeks ago, we have a discussion with the SRA in Bukidnon.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007066

We raise it to 30 hectares, which means every day,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007067

we can supply biological control up to 30 hectares per day,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007068

totaling to, in a week, we can actually supply up to 3, 6, 9, 12, 15,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007069

150 hectares.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007070

We computed it in terms of the infection rate.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007071

I don't have the specific budget,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007072

but I want to respond on our capacity to deliver response to RISIS-I.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007073

Before the end of this year,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007074

our estimate is that we can respond up to 100 hectares per day,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007075

which is more than enough with the infection rate of around 0.7% per month since January.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007076

So, we have also a plan to increase first quarter of next year.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007077

So, that we can apply every day 100 hectares,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007078

so that it is more than enough with the existing 2.2% infected sugarcane out of 45,000 hectares.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007079

So, yung estimate namin, if we work together with SRA in responding farmers who want biological control,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007080

in the next three months,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007081

kaya namin i-maintain,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007082

2.5% o yung makarecover po.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007083

Ang tinitinan lang namin, yung early infestation at saka yung nasa low pa,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007084

yun yung i-respond namin.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007085

Ngayon, we have mapped out yung direction.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007086

Saan ba pumupunta yung RISIS-I?

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007087

From east to west, from west to ano.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007088

So that, more or less, we can preposition our inputs.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007089

Right now, we have 150 million,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007090

more or less, 150 million that we propose as a quick response fund

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007091

to increase our...

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007092

capacity sa laboratory

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007093

so that we will not reach up to 5% infection rate.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007094

Right now, the DE has identified three levels of infection.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007095

The below, low, moderate, at saka severe.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007096

So, according with that classification,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007097

we can exactly respond to the situation

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007098

knowing that before the end of this year,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007099

we can increase our capacity po.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007100

Ang gays.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007101

Okay.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007102

So, I'm glad to hear na meron tayong mga plano.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007103

Pero ang tanong ko is, kahit ma-increase natin yung capacity natin,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007104

eventually before the end of the year,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007105

as you said, to how many hectares per day,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007106

mahahabol ba natin yung ating infection rate?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007107

Kasi right now, nakita natin from 30 hectares,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007108

nasa 576 na tayo in just three months.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007109

So, in another one to two months,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007110

baka yung 576 nasa 1,000 plus hectares na or even 2,000.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007111

So, mahahabol ba?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007112

Kahit ma-increase?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007113

Itong ating capacity?

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007114

Yes po.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007115

Kasi kasama nung ginawa yung Crystal Milling Corporation,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007116

In fact, our meeting last time with Mr. Lorenzo,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007119

who heads the farmers group for sugarcane,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007120

he only needs 20 hectares per day.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007121

That was July.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007122

But we were able to increase it up to 30.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007123

So, with the participation of private sector who owns laboratory,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007124

we can actually maintain it, ma'am,

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007125

not beyond 5 percent.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007126

Right now, with the increasing participation of owners of...

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007127

milling company na dalawa sa bukid nun. Sa tingin ko before the end of this year, kaya namin nating hindi lalag pa sa 5% po.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007128

That's good to hear. That's good news. Thank you very much, Director Pacamalan.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007129

And so as a final question, magkano kaya ang kailangan na budget ng DA Region 10 in order to reach that capacity,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007130

to increase para maabot niyo yung capacity na yan?

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007131

Yung disubmit namin as part ng Quick Response Fund is nasa P150 million po.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007132

Magkano po?

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007133

P150 million.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007134

P150 million, yes. And sa tingin natin itong magkano ang mawawala sa atin kung ang bukid nun,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007135

hindi natin makontrol ang RSSI at grumabit talaga ito, mawalan talaga ng kontrol, magkano mawawala sa atin?

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007136

Malaki po kasi bukid nun has 45,000 hectares of sugarcane and I think that's more than a billion.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007137

And the reason why we automatically increase our capacity is we are very conscious about not going beyond 5%.

Source

DA Region X Regional Executive Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan

asr-007138

It's very important commodity in bukid nun talaga.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007139

So parang bali yung ating increase is not even 10% of how much value we are getting from bukid nun, no?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007140

And given the fact na bukid nun is producing not just sugar but also corn and palay, which can also be affected by RSSI,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007141

I think this is a very small investment with very large returns for the DA.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007142

We can get that funded po, Secretary.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007143

And of course, Mr. Secretary, I would also like to add na yun nga yung ating sa SRA,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007144

given that SRA is also helping out by using the money for quick response,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007145

sana ma-continue natin yung ating goal of not just giving SRA the right budget but really increasing the SRA budget.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007146

What are these problems with acquisition?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007147

I'm sorry, you were saying earlier, I'd like to go back to that.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007148

Ano ba yung nagiging bottleneck?

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007149

Nagiging bottleneck natin sa acquisition ba, you said, sa procedure?

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007150

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007151

There were new rules, I think, MARB and stuff like that, which delayed our procurement.

Source

SRA Administrator Pablo Luis S. Azcona

asr-007152

But we're making it up, no, actually, for the last quarter of the year.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007153

I'm glad to hear that.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007154

My time is up.

Rest assured, this representation is more than happy not just to support but to add.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007159

I really wish we can add more to our DA.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-007160

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007168

First, I would like to thank our hardworking and good secretary of the Department of Agriculture and Culture

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007169

for the request that she mentioned earlier, the use of the ASF vaccine for commercial use.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007170

First, what we are looking for is a special import permit for quick implementation and import.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007171

Ang ibibigay niya ay ang approval ng commercial use.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007175

ng commercial use ibig sabihin yan yung ating 16 million piglets to partner for one year

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007181

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007183

pagka increase yung 30 to 40 na sinabi naman ang ating palihim ating usek na itataas din

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

isa pang dapat namin pagpasalamat yung pagdaalaw ng

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007185

presidente sa anong sekretary kiko laurel doon sa batangas egg producers cooperative

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007186

na itinayo natin sometime 2010 and then ngayon problema namin ang pagbibenta ng itlog

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007187

pagkabagsak ang presyo so ito yung ito yung remedyo na magkaroon ng

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007188

itlog na ika nga may innovation at modern facilities para matulungan yung ating mag-iitlog

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007189

which is yung batangas especially yung san Jose egg basket of the Philippines we are

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007190

producing 12 million eggs a day so dahil meron ng liquefied pasteurized egg na two weeks

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007191

na dalawang linggo hanggang dalawang buwan na tatagal ang itlog.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007192

Meron tayong pag nilagyan ng asin, dalawang taon.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007196

Meron tayong powdered eggs, up to two years, pwede. Nagawa nila na magkaroon tayo ng mga equipment na ganyan.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007197

Yung boiled eggs in brine solution, six months na pwedeng tumagal.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007198

Yung boiled eggs at yung frozen egg, six months.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007199

So napakagandang tulong nito at pag nagamit, wala nang magiging problema

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007200

kahit na bumagsak yung presyo ng itlog.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007201

Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary, and especially to President BBM, because the funds that are

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007202

being given to the cooperatives are huge, like BEPCO, CIDC, LIMCOMA, Vision, all of

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007203

them have hundreds of millions of grants.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007204

So, thank you.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007205

Now, Mr. Secretary, when it comes to our budget, we have already mentioned the IDCA,

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007206

Animal Industry Development Competitiveness Enhancement Fund Act, that we have an ANSEP

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007207

of more or less 20, it can be 30 billion a year for 10 years.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007208

I know that it is included in our…

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007209

Hopefully, we can find a way to have a budget.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007210

The ASF and AI vaccine, I think it is more or less 1 billion, Secretary, because once

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007211

there is an outbreak, we already have funds that we can use to stop the spread of ASF

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007212

or do you think, Secretary, that we will have a budget?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007213

Mr. Chair, thank you very much.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007214

Thank you.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007215

Thank you for your suggestion.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007216

And we will put that in our request for an amendment to the BBM and we can put a 1 billion

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007217

budget on vaccines, right?

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007218

But the 1 billion budget for vaccines can be for AI or for ASF, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007219

There, Secretary, thank you, if we can do it.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007220

One more, Secretary, in the ANSEP, I…

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007221

Last question.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007222

If we can put a fund, we can put a fund on the SEPA or all examination facilities for

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007223

agriculture, or the first border inspection facilities, because we can avoid biosecurity

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007224

and not bring diseases to the imported agricultural products.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007225

And secondly, we can reduce smuggling.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007226

Mr. Chair, meron na tayong pondo for 2026 for implementation na namin for three sites

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007227

sa Subic, sa Manila, tsaka sa Davao.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007228

But of course, kung kulang pa yun, magagamit din natin yung pera from IDCA para doon for

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007229

the future.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007230

Meron lang kaming konting issue sa maning dahil hindi kami makapag-hire ng dagdag

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007231

tao dahil sa ruling na linabas while may batas naman na pwede kami dapat.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007232

So, we're just sorting it out with DBM, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007233

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007234

Last question, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007235

Alam niyo, hindi po kami total sa importation.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007236

Pero sana, doon lang sa pangangailangan na ating mamamayan.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007237

Baka po mali yung mga reports.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007238

Kasi pag tinumpit po natin yung in-import this year, kung meron 851 million, yung total

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007239

meat imports ng pork, which is alam naman natin, yung opals, yung skin, fats, may possibility

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007240

na yan ay tunay na pork.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007241

So, ang hiling lang namin, Mr. Secretary, bawasan naman kasi lahat ng ating ginagawa,

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007242

kung magbebenta ang ating mga farmers ng lugi.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007243

Mababali wala, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007244

So, hopefully, yung reference value, magkaroon kayo ng transaction value na maa-advise ang

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007245

DA at saka mga industry farmers na ito yung tamang transaction value para hindi tayo nagagawa

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007246

ng reference value na napakalayo sa presyo ng ini-import na karning agricultural products,

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007247

Mr. Secretary.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007248

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

DA Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr.

asr-007249

We will do that, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Nicanor M. Briones

asr-007250
