For millions of ordinary Filipino families,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000070

every single day is a fight for survival

Source

Presentation video

asr-000071

against rising living costs

Source

Presentation video

asr-000072

and tight household budgets.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000073

One illness or natural disaster

Source

Presentation video

asr-000074

can trigger an immediate household crisis,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000075

forcing hard choices

Source

Presentation video

asr-000076

between food,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000077

education,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000078

and basic survival.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000079

This is where public assistance

Source

Presentation video

asr-000080

must be swift,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000081

active,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000082

and responsive.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000083

Source

Presentation video

asr-000084

bringing public service closer to Filipinos,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000085

particularly for underserved areas and marginalized groups.

The OVP operates hand-in-hand with nine agencies to expand national social protection,

strengthening government presence,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000089

amplifying existing programs,

Presentation video

asr-000090

and ensuring relief reaches families

Source

when emergencies strike.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000092

Source

Presentation video

asr-000094

and direct public service.

Presentation video

asr-000102

through targeted programs

Source

Presentation video

asr-000103

asr-000105

the OVP has consistently maintained a high budget utilization rate,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000106

averaging over 90% in previous years.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000107

For fiscal year 2027,

asr-000312

Prior to fiscal year 2023,

Source

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000313

the OVP's budget ranged

Source

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000314

from 700 to 900 million.

Source

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000315

It was only in fiscal years

Source

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000316

2023 and 2024

Source

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000317

that the budget exceeded

Source

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000318

1 billion pesos,

Source

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000319

primarily due to the increased allocation

Source

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000320

for financial assistance or subsidies

Source

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000321

to support the provision

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

The OVP's budget returned

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000325

with 744.15 million allocated for 2025.

The same budget level is maintained

including the mandated salary increases.

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

Since 2022

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

and even with the higher budgets

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000332

in 2023 and 2024,

Source

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000333

the OVP was able to maintain

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000334

a high full-year budget utilization

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000342

compared with the 2026 appropriation

Source

Atty. Kelvin Jerome Tenido

asr-000343

is primarily due to the adoption

and the consideration of cost adjustments.

Rep. Roberto Nazal

Yesterday this committee extended to the Office of the President a longstanding courtesy, passing its budget without interpellation in recognition of its standing as co-equal branch of government. Today I respectfully ask that this committee extend the same courtesy to the Office of the Vice President. The Vice President is currently facing the weight of impeachment proceedings, a burden already heavy enough on its own. Her budget, moreover, has not grown; it remains modest and unremarkable. In fact, the budget proposal is even lower than the

just yesterday.

Mr. Chairman, this is not a request for special

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000559

si Rep. Nazal sa nangyari kahapon. Nilinaw natin kahapon sa ating paliwanag na dapat ibasura na itong inter-parliamentary courtesy lalo na pag-usapin ng budget dahil ang tungkulin natin ng lahat ng nasa gobyerno ay maging transparent

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000560

sa kung paano ginagamit

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000561

kung paano ginagamit ang pondo ng taong bayan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000562

Kaya sa halip na sabihin dapat gawing patas

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000563

o kung hindi tatanungin ang hindi bubusisiin ang budget ng Office of the President,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000564

hindi na rin bubusisiin ang budget ng Office of the Vice President.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000565

Ano susunod dito? Another co-equal branch is the judiciary.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000566

Mag-move na rin ba kayo na hindi na rin natin bubulat-latin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000567

o bubusisiin ang budget ng judiciary?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000568

Hindi naman nangyayari yun ever.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000569

So, kailangan itigil na po natin ang practice na ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000570

Anyway, I am sure handa naman na sagutin ang Office of the Vice President

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000571

anumang mga tanong kaugnay sa kanilang budget ngayon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000572

So, I object to the motion, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000573

Okay, there's a motion about manifestation lang yun, Julie.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000574

Si Candid, hindi.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000575

Naman motion.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000576

Ah, nag-motion pala.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000577

But there's an objection.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000578

So, instead of proceeding to divide the body,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000579

I will ask the resource persons if they are willing to answer a few questions

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000580

and then we will proceed with terminating this briefing.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000581

Is that alright, Kong?

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000582

Is it alright, Atonis Ulayka, if you yield to a few questions regarding the budget?

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000583

Is it alright?

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000584

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000585

We are ready to answer the questions.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000586

If it is alright, then maybe I'll ask our team colleague to just withdraw the motion for a while

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000587

and hold it in abeyance because yung resource persons are willing to answer the question

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000588

so that the minority will be satisfied.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000589

Tama ba yan, boss?

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000590

Tama po.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000591

Okay.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000592

Mr. Chair, point of order.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000593

Well, considering there was a motion which was properly seconded,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000594

the proper course of action would be to divide the house.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000595

But if our good friend, Congress Mantino, would limit the questions to the budget submitted,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000596

then I will not insist that we divide the house and proceed with the motion.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000597

Since we did not divide the house and I asked for permission from the source person,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000598

whether they are willing to answer a few questions,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000599

maybe we will hold the motion in abeyance.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000600

Pagkatapos, we take it up after the few questions.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000601

Kung pwede lang.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000602

We'll just ask Congressman Nassal to withhold the motion first.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000603

Congressman Nassal, can you make your motion static in nature for a while

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000604

so that we can allow the minority to ask questions to the resource person?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-000605

I'm willing to withhold the motion.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-000606

But the resource person already acknowledged that they are willing to answer the questions

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-000607

insofar as the budget is concerned.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000608

So can we...

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000609

In consideration, the questions will be very limited.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000610

Can we also recognize our esteemed colleague, Congressman Eresi is here.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000611

Thank you.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000612

And first on the list would be our colleague, Repto.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000613

Tinio, it's your chance.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000614

Please confine to the budget proposal.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000615

Mr. Chair, opo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000616

Thank you, Congressman Eresi.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000617

Baka hindi nyo narinig yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000618

Una, gusto ko lang i-manifest sa mga kasama natin sa kongreso na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000619

hindi pwedeng limitahan ng sinuang member ang iba pa sa kung ano ang itatanong.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000620

Nagre-responuhan tayo dito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000621

At sa budget briefings, tinatanong ang mga questions kaugnay sa budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000622

Pero mayroon din mga tanongs regarding policy which are not necessarily or immediately related to the budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000623

Kala ka rin yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000624

So kaya po, gusto ko lang i-registro na hindi maaari at hindi natin tinatanggap na kondisyon

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000625

yung okay, ang tanong lang ay dito lang sa budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000626

Dahil kayo mismo, yung mga nagsasabi niya na magkasama tayo sa budget hearing sa ibang mga department,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000627

hindi nyo naman pinapractice yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000628

So anyway, setting that aside.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000629

Mr. Chair, I have my time.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-000630

Just a point of order, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-000631

Because of the manifestation made...

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000632

Just a while, Cong Tinio.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000633

Yes.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-000634

Yes.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-000635

Just because of the manifestation made.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-000636

Kasi there was a motion to observe parliamentary courtesy.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-000637

While we understand the position of the good congressman, kaya nga pumayag tayo eh,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-000638

na congressman Nazal agreed to temporary withhold.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-000639

Kasi pagkaganyan, that we do not observe.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-000640

We observed it for the office of the President eh.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-000641

If we do not extend the same courtesy, then I will also insist that we just divide the house.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000642

Mr. Chair, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000643

Anyway, Congressman Bong Suntay, ako naman ang timon.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000644

If there is a question that tingin ko na hindi na dapat sagutin dahil nandoon na sa Senado,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000645

and if there is a question outside the budget,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000646

tanungin ko yung mga resource persons kung gusto ba nilang sagutin.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000647

Kung sinabi nilang hindi nila pwedeng masagot, then I will also roll against it.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000648

Okay ba yan?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000649

Mr. Chair, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000650

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000651

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000652

May I proceed with my questions?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000653

May we just ask the, you know, in every question, kung ayaw naman nilang sagutin, pwede naman nilang hindi sagutin.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000654

Para makita nila yung depression ng office of the President na ayaw sumagot,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000655

at yung office of the Vice President na gusto sumagot.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000656

Tama nga naman.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000657

But if the question is irrelevant to today's proceedings, I will roll against it.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000658

They can simply say that it's irrelevant.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000659

I will rule against it.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000660

Okay? Cong Tinio.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000661

You have the floor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000662

Mr. Chair, no question is irrelevant in budget proceedings.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000663

Yun po ang posisyon natin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000664

But anyway, let me proceed with my question.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000665

It so happens, my questions are related to the budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000666

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000667

So, Mr. Chair, yung office of the Vice President, kakaiba, dahil nga, essentially, meron siyang, yung MOE ng office of the Vice President,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000668

ang pinaka-bulto nito ay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000669

para sa mga

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000670

discretionary programs ng Vice President.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000672

And this has been true of the office, hindi lang ngayon, kung hindi kahit toon pa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000673

Historically, ang natatandaan ko, talagang nangyari yan noong panahon ni Vice President Binay

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000674

under the Aquino administration because it was that time,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000675

he used to be senator, tapos yung pork barrel niya noon, may pidaf pa noon,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000676

nung naging Vice President siya, yung allocation nilipat sa Office of the Vice President.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000677

Kaya ganun lumaki ang pondo ng Office of the Vice President.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000678

Nagkaroon ng malaking MOE para sa mga programa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000679

Now, kakaiba ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000680

So, dahil discretionary nga yung mga program, kung anong maisip ng Vice Presidente,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000681

yun ang ipatutupad.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000682

Totoo yan, noong panahon ni VP Binay, ni Robredo, at ngayon ni Duterte.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000683

So, ngayon, merong mga programa ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000684

At ang tanong ko niyan, kasi ang kaibahan, usually, pag may mga ayuda programs,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000685

ang nag-implement, DSWD or DOH, but in the case of the Office of the Vice President,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000686

direct ang nag-implement yung opisina mismo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000687

So, of course, ang importante dito ay guidelines.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000688

So, ang tanong lang po natin, meron po bang malinaw na guidelines

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000689

ang bawat programa rito, yung mga mag-negosyo taday, wheelchair distribution,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000690

pagbabago campaign, and so on and so forth.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000691

At accessible po ba ito sa publiko?

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000692

So, for the record, Your Honor, yes.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000693

All our programs, all the nine core programs of the Office of the Vice President

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000694

are covered by manuals of operation.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000695

Several manuals of operation that is regularly updated in consultation with the Commission on Audit

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000696

to further improve process requirements, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000697

Kineko po yung, of course, may manual kayo, kailangan din available sa publiko.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000698

So, for the most part, sa website, nandun yung manual.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000699

May mga requirements, di ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000700

May mga ilan lang na hindi.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000701

For example, yung You Can Be VP, wala pong detalya dito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000702

And I noticed in the budget, 1.1 million ang proposed budget,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000703

tapos yung target beneficiaries, dalawa lang.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000704

So, parang ang dating niyan, tigpa 500,000 plus.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000705

Yung You Can Be VP.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000706

Ano ba yun?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000707

At ganun ba talaga kalaki ang grant na ibibigay ng office, kalahating milyon?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000708

Para sa dalawang beneficiary?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000709

Tornes Olaiga.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000710

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000711

So, just to add to the earlier question,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000712

some of our manuals of operation or the procedure is actually found in our citizens charter.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000713

But you're right, the You Can Be VP is not included in the citizens charter.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000714

Siguro for more detailed process as regards the You Can Be VP program,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000715

we can have our Director for Operations, Director Baloro, discuss it further.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000716

Go ahead, Norman.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000717

Thank you, Yusek.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000718

Mr. Chair, for enlightenment, Mr. Chair,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000719

the two You Can Be VP program are those learners that can be part of the engagements,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000720

both local or international with the Vice President.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000721

But however, this is not just only limited with the exposure of these particular learners,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000722

but we are also doing with the Junior Leadership Program.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000723

Recently, Your Honor, we already have five.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000724

So, what we are doing right now is we are giving them the skills development

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000725

just to ensure that they can also coach or mentor other young learners

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000726

to be also a good leader in the country, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000727

Why is the grant apparently 550,000 per learner or individual?

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000728

Your Honor, this is not only limited for, like, for example,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000729

the 500,000 is to be given to the recipient, Your Honor.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000730

This is to be used.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000731

This is to be used with the other activities to be conducted

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000732

in line with the You Can Be VP program, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000733

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000734

Kasi, well, baka kailangang ilinaw niyo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000735

Kasi ang sabi rito, number of beneficiaries, two learners.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000736

So, that's just only the target, Your Honor,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000737

that we can identify, Your Honor, as an eligible learner

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000738

that can also be exposed with the local and international engagement

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000739

with the Vice President, Your Honor.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000740

But however, we also have other activities,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000741

Your Honor, with regard to mentoring and enhancing the skills,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000742

the knowledge, and the attitudes of these learners, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000743

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000744

Ang, sa, in terms of number of beneficiaries niyo,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000745

sabi niyo, 1.4 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000746

Pero ang bulto talaga nito ay dun sa Libreng Sakay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000747

1.2 million of the 1.4 million beneficiaries

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000748

are with the Libreng Sakay program.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000749

Pero ang budget niya, hindi naman yung pinakamalaki, 22 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000750

So, could you,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000751

clarify lang, para mas malinaw,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000752

ilang sasakyan po ba

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000753

ang involved sa Libreng Sakay program?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000754

At paano yung arrangement dito?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000755

Service contracting ba ito?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000756

Bumili ba kayo ng sariling sasakyan?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000757

Please explain.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000758

Please explain, Attorney.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000759

Alright, thank you.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000760

Thank you, Sir.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000761

Alright, currently, the Libreng Sakay program has nine buses across the country.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000762

Four are flying in Metro Manila,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000763

two, one for Cavite, P-TEX, correct, no?

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000764

And then we have for Quiapo to Commonwealth, dalawa.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000765

And then also, also for the EDSA carousel.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000766

And then we also have buses for Tacloban,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000767

Bacolod, the city of Bacolod,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000768

Davao City, Cebu, and...

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000769

Yun lang. So, nine na pala.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000770

Wala sa Palawan at saka sa Nueva Ecija.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000771

Yes, we heard you, Sir.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000772

So, sa kabuuan, nationwide, nine na sasakyan.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000773

That is true.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000774

Nine buses, yes.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000775

This is a partnership, if I may add also,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000776

to also recognize our partners for the Libreng Sakay.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000777

We are working with the LTFRB and also with the MMDA.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000778

They are the ones, and also, of course, the OTR,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000779

they're the ones who plan the routes for the buses

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000780

because that is not an expertise of the Office of the Vice President.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000781

Okay.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000782

Yung binili ba yung sasakyan or service contracting, how does it work?

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000783

Okay.

Source

Siguro, Director Norman, for the operation details.

Director Norman Valora

asr-000785

Your Honor, we have a partnership with the other transportation service.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000786

We have with the Jack Liner, Your Honor.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000787

We have also with the Rural Transit Mindanao Incorporated.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000788

We have this Oisinco City Tours and Dakudos.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000789

This is through a memorandum of agreement.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000790

This is our bus company.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000791

Yes.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000792

But however, Your Honor, we have also two buses being purchased

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000793

under the Office of the Vice President, Your Honor.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000794

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000795

Sa dalawang bus binili ng Office of the OVP, tapos yung pito.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000796

Private partners, Your Honor, under USUFRA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000797

Pahingin na lang po nung listahan ng mga private partners.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000798

I'll give you.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000799

Si Jaime Chowa.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000800

And so, pero ito, kasi nine buses lang, pero 1.2 million.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000801

Parang, baka, ibig sabihin, hindi naman siguro talaga,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000802

kumbaga, baby, paano na-compute yung 1.2 million?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000803

Kasi parang, hindi natin ma-reconcile.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000804

Syam na bus, 1.2 million.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000805

Siguro.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000806

Thank you.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000807

Mr. Chair, we have nine buses.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000808

In the nine buses, Your Honor, we have the capacity of around,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000809

46 passengers per bus.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000810

And then, with that, Your Honor, like, for example,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000811

I just have to walk through with you as an experience,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000812

the one conducting monitoring.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000813

For example, Your Honor, in one bus, in the EDSA carousel,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000814

merong 46 na makakasakay.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000815

So, ang kinakount po namin ay yung mga nag-onboard.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000816

So, with the help of our bus conductors there,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000817

the one doing the tickers, 1, 2, 3 na sumasakay.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000818

So, in our average, Your Honor, based on the history,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000819

we can accommodate around 442 passengers.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000820

442 passengers per bus, sa isang araw.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000821

But, what's good about this, Your Honor,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000822

is we're just only doing with the peak hours.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000823

So, we're conducting or implementing the operations

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000824

from, in the morning, from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000825

And in the afternoon, that's 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000826

So, if we're going to calculate that, Your Honor,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000827

in the 422, for example, in a day,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000828

we have to multiply in the nine buses, Your Honor,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000829

then we can get that particular number, Your Honor.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000830

And that's the reason why we can really document,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000831

with regard to the number of passengers assisted per day, Your Honor.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000832

Okay.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000833

So, mas siguro, commutes per day and per year.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000834

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000835

Do you want to know the owners of the bus company?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000836

Ah, well, kung...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000837

Jack Liner is Jaime Chua.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000838

Sige, ibig.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000839

Yaseris Liner is Janshon Pamili.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000840

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000841

Sino ang number 3?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000842

Sige po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000843

Kilala ko lahat yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000844

Eh, bus manufacturer ako eh.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000845

Mr. Chair, you are Uy Cinco.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000846

Uy Cinco, taga-daba mo na.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000847

Ah?

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000848

O, di rin ako nang ilagamay.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000849

Small, small-timer yun.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000850

Yung Seres at saka Jack Liner, big-time yun.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000851

So, more often, they drive, the old bus owners,

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000852

or the bus liners, provide also the driver.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000853

Pero yung Puel, they also provide o kayo bumibili ng Puel.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000854

For the record lang.

Source

Deputy Speaker Jose C. Alvarez

asr-000855

Puel is on the end of the OVP year.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000856

Okay. So, magandang tanong po yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000857

Yung 22 million na yan, kasi yung bus...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000858

Masama, Puel.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000859

Provided.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000860

Oo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000861

Yung driver, sabi ni Chair, ay provided na rin ng private.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000862

So, ano yung pinagagastusan ng budget? Gasolina.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000863

Very reasonable yun. Gasolina lang at saka minor repairs.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000864

Maintenance?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000865

Maintenance.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000866

Yung pasahod sa driver, hindi na sa inyo?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000867

Yes, atin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000868

Including your owner.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-000869

Ah, including din.

Di ba?

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000891

Alright.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000892

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000893

Mid-November, we are expecting the onboarding of our 4 million passengers.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000894

Wow!

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000895

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000896

Okay.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000897

And then, we'd like to, of course, to invite the members of the Congress.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000925

And salamat po sa Office of the Vice President sa pagsagot ng mga ilang tanong.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000926

Siguro ang tanong ko rin po ay tungkol po sa mga programa na pinupondohan po ng Office

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000927

of the Vice President.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000928

In particular, meron po dito yung pinakamalaking spending is yung pagbabago campaign, which

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000929

is distribution of bags.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000930

And even yung wheelchair distribution.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000931

Algenaza kits.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000932

Siguro ang tanong ko po, paano po nag-a-identify ng target beneficiaries yung OVP?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000933

Paano po niya...

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000934

Ano yung process niya sa pag-tukoy sino itong 150,000 learners, itong 600 clients for both

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000935

wheelchair and algenaza kits, etc.?

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000936

Thank you, ma'am.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000937

Yes, sir.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000938

As mentioned earlier, there are manuals of operation that cover these programs.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000939

For a complete detailed process flow of the pagbabago a million learners campaign, there's

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000940

a full list of the pagbabago a million learners campaign and the algenaza and wheelchair

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000941

distribution.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000942

We can have our director for operations discuss it further.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-000943

Go ahead.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000944

Sige po.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000945

Thank you.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000946

Mr.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000947

Director Norman, you have the floor.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000948

Thank you, Your Honor.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000949

Mr. Chair, with regard to the eligibility of our learners, it's the Department of Education

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000950

and the People's Organization identified the schools to be the recipients of the pagbabago

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000951

bag.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000952

And we have a special project still with the assessment and evaluation of the Special

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000953

Projects Division na siya po yung gumagawa ng aming project design and even the implementation

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000954

together with the satellite offices all across the country.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000955

That's number one.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000956

Second is we are also considering one of our priorities, Your Honor, are the GIDA areas

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000957

and even the last-mile school na tinatawag po ng Department of Education kasi doon po sa

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000958

assessment namin, sila po yung medyo deprived sa mga programa na meron po ang pagbabago ng

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000959

government, at meron din po kami mga experience, Your Honor, na even yung mga teachers

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000960

could really testify na it's their first time to receive such assistance coming from

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000961

the government.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000962

For the janasa kit, Your Honor, this is in line with our respect to the brothers and

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000963

sisters in the Islam community.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000964

It's the first time in the Office of the Vice President to offer a particular burial kit

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000965

right after po na mamatay po yung ating mga mother, mother and percent, members of the

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000966

Muslim brothers and sisters, within 24 hours

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000967

kailangan po sila mailibing.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000968

So right then and there, maibigay po namin

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000969

ito sa kanila ang dyanasakits. This is not

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000970

only available in BARM, but

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000971

only in the, and also in the 10

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000972

satellite offices all across the country.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000973

And for the wheelchair, Your Honor, this is

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000974

upon the request. It might be from

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000975

the other organizations, Your Honor,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000976

even the local government unit, and even

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000977

the walk-in clients, Your Honor,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000978

who wish to be afforded with the

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000979

wheelchairs or other mobility devices,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000980

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000981

So to clarify po, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000982

mukhang yung wheelchair and algenasakits,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000983

this is walk-in.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000984

Kung sino po lalapit sa OVP.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000985

Tapos yung sa pagbabago,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000986

partnership.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000987

So siguro ang clarification ko na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000988

lang po, paano po ba nasisimulan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000989

yung process flow na ito? Ang OVP po ba

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000990

through its satellite

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000991

units or offices

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000992

ay naghahanap kung

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000993

saan po kulang? May lumalapit

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000994

po ba sa satellite mga offices?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000995

Ano po yung parang basically

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000996

starting step one kung paano po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-000997

nag-a-identify ng ganito?

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000998

Normally lumalapit. Thank you.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-000999

Mr. Richard, yes. Number one is

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001000

this is through the collaboration

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001001

with the Department of Education. Bago po

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001002

magsimula yung Brigada Eskwela,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001003

nakakaroon po kami ng meeting

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001004

with the Department of Education through also

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001005

the regional offices. Here in the Central

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001006

Office, Your Honor, this is through our

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001007

the Central Office of DepEd.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001008

So from there, Your Honor, we can already

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001009

identify particular

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001010

schools who should be a priority of the

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001011

Department of Education to be given.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001012

And then meron din po mga people's organization,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001013

Your Honor, who are directly writing

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001014

a letter addressed to the Vice President

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001015

asking for support, especially

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001016

mag nanakita po nila.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001017

And we're also including, Your Honor,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001018

not only the DepEd schools, but even

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001019

the Madrasa schools, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001020

I ask these questions,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001021

Mr. Chair, dahil

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001022

syempre noble yung pagkakaroon

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001023

ng distribution ng mga paangailangan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001024

ng ating mga mayan. Pero

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001025

gusto rin natin yung pinakamarami ang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001026

makaabot and ayaw natin ng duplication.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001027

So, hindi man sa ayaw ng duplication,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001028

pero ina-avoid natin para mas ma-spread

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001029

out yung makakuha ng mga ganitong

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001030

mga servisyo. So,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001031

sinicheck natin kung

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001032

ano po bang coordination yung ginagawa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001033

and paano nai-ensure na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Thank you. Mr. Chair, we have this data

Every learner,

Director Norman Valora

asr-001044

Your Honor, coming from the Department

of Education, we're listing this. At saka

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001046

pag-type namin sa mga pangalan,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001047

nakikita agad namin kung may duplication.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001048

So, we have to ensure, Your Honor,

Director Norman Valora

asr-001049

na hindi po, kasi lalo na po yung

sa COA, they're very particular with the

Is this master list

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001059

coordinated with yung ibang agency?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001060

So, hindi siya internal lang?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001061

Yes, Your Honor. So, bali sa ibang mga agency,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001062

din ay may visibility

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001063

kayo na nabigyan na to, yung hindi pa,

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001064

bibigyan namin. Tama po ba?

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001065

Your Honor, this is really through the

Director Norman Valora

asr-001066

collaboration because the DepEd really can

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001067

really tell us, Your Honor, kung nabigyan po sila

Director Norman Valora

o wala. But as what I mentioned earlier,

Director Norman Valora

asr-001069

Your Honor, we are really focused on

Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001074

syempre, nakikita

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001075

natin yung mga services na ginagawa.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001076

Pero ang inasahan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001077

ko din po, for example, sa second highest

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001078

office of the land, ay meron siyang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001079

papel din sa policy.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001080

So, sa pag-set ng policy

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001081

sa na-direksyon

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001082

ng bansa.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001083

So, siguro, ang tanong ko, dahil hindi naman po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001084

naksama sa report, ano po bang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001085

policy efforts ng

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001086

OVP? May research arm po ba yan?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001087

Nag-a-advise po ba yan sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001088

ibang-ibang agencies? May ganun po bang efforts?

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001089

Torne?

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001090

Thank you. Actually, ma'am,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001091

one of the things that

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001092

one of our institutional projects

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001093

really is the

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001094

creation of the

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001095

OVP charter. And we are very

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001096

lucky that through representative

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001097

and former president and vice president

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001098

Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, she has

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001099

filed House Bill

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001100

number 4215.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001101

It is actually entitled

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001102

an act providing for the

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001103

charter of the office of the vice president

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001104

of the Republic of the Philippines,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001105

defining its powers and functions

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001106

and appropriating funds therefore.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001107

And for other purposes, it is hoped,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001108

Your Honor, that this

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001109

bill or this form of legislation will be

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001110

able to empower

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001111

future vice presidents

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001112

to be able to lead the office

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001113

with the programs

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001114

that are institutionalized.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001115

So, it will not be, well,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001116

in a way, as what was mentioned

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001117

kanina ni Representative Tino,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001118

na depende na lang sa programa

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001119

ng susunod na

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001120

nakaupong vice president.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001121

So, that is really one of our,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001122

our programs, our

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001123

institutional, ang direksyon

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001124

nun. Parang institutionalizing

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001125

the OVP. Yes, and the

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001126

programs.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001127

Pero for now po,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001128

ayun nga po, dahil siguro may expectation na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001129

pagtulong, pagbukas

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001130

din sa public opinion ng

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001131

policy direksyon ng bansa,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001132

di ba, very highly contentious

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001133

everywhere, ito po yung

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001134

pinag-uusapan dito sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001135

budget deliberations as well.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001136

Meron po bang,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001137

staff, meron po bang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001138

body sa loob

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001139

ng OVP that discusses

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001140

policy? Paano po ba nito nakakommunicate

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001141

sa publiko? Paano po ba ito nakakommunicate

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001142

sa iba't ibang ahensya?

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001143

Okay. Balikan ko lang

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001144

kanina yung creation ng OVP

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001145

charter, no?

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001146

There is a provision there that identifies

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001147

a specific office for policy

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001148

research. That's one.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001149

But right now, that is being handled by

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001150

the office of Director Shine Fajarda.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001151

She handles the strategic management

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001152

office.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001153

Ito yung coordination with various

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001154

national government agencies and also

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001155

with the private sector and how

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001156

for opportunities that they can partner

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001157

with the office of the Vice President

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001158

and of course, help in

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001159

delivering public service.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001160

Beling, kung?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001161

To clarify, meron pong

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001162

at least point person

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001163

para sa pag-aasikaso ng

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001164

policy issues. Yes, that is correct.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001165

Ito, bubukas ko po sa OVP

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001166

at binubukas din natin

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001167

sa iba't ibang ahensya na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001168

alam po dito sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001169

budget deliberations ngayon,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001170

yung isa sa mga pinakamalaking

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001171

policy pivots or even

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001172

commitments na ginagawa ng

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001173

bansa na ito at concern

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001174

ng kabataan ay yung Pax Silica.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001175

So, ano po ba ang pagtingin ng

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001176

OVP sa Pax Silica?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001177

Pax Silica? Meron po ba?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001178

Meron po ba siyang policy research na ginawa?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001179

It's not part of your budget.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001180

Sir, we are authorized to answer

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001181

only those questions related

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001182

to the 2027 proposed budget.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001183

If you want, I can answer for them.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001184

Alam ko na yung stance ni Chair

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001185

tungkol sa Pax Silica.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001186

I am pro Pax Silica.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001187

Matagal na kami nag-uusap kami ni Chair.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001188

Pero tinatanong po natin dahil VP Sara Duterte

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001189

was asked this question

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001190

and at least noong

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001191

binigay yun ay hindi po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001192

essentially nakapagbigay ng pananaw

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001193

si VP Sara Duterte.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001194

And usap-usapin yung Pax Silica

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001195

ng kabataan, ng iba't ibang ahensya.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001196

We've been asking different agencies.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001197

We have asked the Department of Agriculture,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001198

the DTI, the DENR.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001199

Not daw sila.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001200

Hindi pa alam kung saan papunta to

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001201

dahil hindi pa complete yung research nila.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001202

So given na may policy coordinator

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001203

po ang OVP,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001204

meron na po bang initial

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001205

na steps ang OVP para

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001206

i-research yung Pax Silica

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001207

and then maglabas ng pananaw policy-wise po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001208

sa publiko?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001209

That's a reasonable question.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001210

Actually, just to mention, ma'am,

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001211

there are some

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001212

legislators who asked comments

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001213

of the Office of the Vice President.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001214

Especially on certain

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001215

proposed legislation. And this is handled

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001216

by the Office of the Strategic

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001217

Management Office. I think one of

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001218

those is also

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001219

the issue on, or the concerns

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001220

on Pax Silica. Because we have also

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001221

been

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001222

in receipt of some letters

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001223

stating their positions

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001224

on the Pax Silica.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001225

So for now, may

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001226

position na po ba ang OVP or si VP Sara

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001227

on Pax Silica?

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001228

Wala pa.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001229

No.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001230

I cannot comment on that, Your Honor, because

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001231

we are just authorized to answer for the

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001232

reasonable naman yung sagot.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001233

Reasonable naman yung question.

Source

Undersecretary Zuleika T. Lopez

asr-001234

We will note that question.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001235

Baka po maari bago sumalang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001236

sa plenary deliberations,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001237

may initial pong maisumite

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001238

ang OVP na sa pagtingin niya

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001239

sa Pax Silica. Again, we've been asking

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001240

different agencies.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001241

Hindi po promising na hindi po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001242

nabibigyan ng pananaw tayo

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001243

kung anong epekto nito

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001244

sa ibang larangan ng ating

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001245

Pax Silica.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001246

Lipunan, ng bayan,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001247

given yung maraming considerations

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001248

ng kabataan. So, yun lang po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001249

muna for now dahil wala pa pong

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001250

pananaw si VP Sara or ang OVP

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001251

on Pax Silica. We're hoping for

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001252

the same to be transmitted to this

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001294

individuals, para sa mga CSOs.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Yung beneficiaries

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001301

kung isasama natin yung mga

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001302

individuals, mas marami pa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001303

Ang mga natatanggap po ba per beneficiary

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001304

ay pare-pareho?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001305

O depende ho yan sa kanilang mga

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001306

proposals?

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001307

Director for Operations, Director Valora, will answer this.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001308

Okay, Director Norman, ito ba ka?

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001309

Thank you. Madam Chair,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001310

we have two categories in terms

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001311

of the eligibility

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001312

of our magnegosyo

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001313

today based on the manual operations.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001314

One, we have this individual

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001315

where we can,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001316

the grantee or the recipient

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001317

can receive 15,000 pesos.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001318

So lahat po sila, Your Honor,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001319

regardless of their kind,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001320

of business that they are

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001321

proposing to the Office of the...

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001322

Regardless of section, kasi day,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001323

magnegosyo tayo, mayroon magbabae

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001324

ito na ninyong gusto.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001325

All walks of life po, and all genders.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001326

Karamihan babae. Meron din pong lalaki.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001327

Eh bakit day?

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001328

Day at saka dong, sana yan.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001329

Sige. Your Honor, is an...

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001330

To answer also,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001331

Mr. Chair,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001332

Your Honor, is a second, is we have

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001333

the CSO, or the Civil Society Organization.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001334

We are granted

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001335

around 150,000 pesos.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001336

Also based on the

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001337

feasibility study that they're doing.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001338

But that's really, lahat po sila

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001339

ay 150,000.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001340

So with that, Your Honor,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001341

in the Civil Society Organization,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001342

they're also undergoing

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001343

accreditation

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001344

of the Office of the Vice President

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001345

just to ensure that they have this authority

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001346

and the legitimacy

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001347

as a Civil Society Organization.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001348

So with that, Your Honor, in the group,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001349

they should be around,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001350

20 to 25 as a minimum

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001351

number of

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001352

clients or members. So that's the reason,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001353

Your Honor, if you can see, in the 2023,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001354

marami po ang mga

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001355

clients, but

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001356

sinasali po namin yung mga participating

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001357

members ng bawat grupo.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001358

That's the reason why there's a number.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001359

But in the individuals, Your Honor,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001360

they are receiving 15,000 pesos

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001361

each.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001362

May we know, Mr. Chair, what is the

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001363

measurable outcome of

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001364

this program? How many of you?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001365

How many of the beneficiaries have actually

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001366

been able to grow or

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001367

sustain their enterprises?

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001368

Thank you.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001369

Madam Chair, with regard

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001370

to the success

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001371

indicators,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001372

we are

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001373

that the OVP has its way

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001374

of how to ensure

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001375

to monitor. Kasi po,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001376

after ng grant, after 90

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001377

days, we're also doing the monitoring.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001378

So honestly, hindi naman po talaga

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001379

perfect. Hindi naman po lahat.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001380

Naging successful. But what we are

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001381

doing is we're doing the

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001382

to ensure that there is a

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001383

to sustain the program that

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001384

we are giving. Minsan po,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001385

nai-refer din po namin sila sa

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001386

appropriate agencies. But in the aspect of

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001387

the OVP, ang ginagawa po namin,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001388

Your Honor, is nagkakaroon po,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001389

kami were conducting monitoring

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001390

90 days after the

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001391

grant ng individuals po,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001392

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001393

May we get the numbers, Mr.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001394

Chair, from the years,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001395

2023. It's good that there is active

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001396

monitoring. Because we need to

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001397

ensure that all

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001398

these assistance

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001399

are translated to

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001400

measurable

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001401

outcomes that

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001402

could really help uplift

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001403

not just the individual

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001404

but the CSOs

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001405

standing

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001406

in terms of what they

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001407

need to ensure that they are able

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001408

to sustain these enterprises.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001409

Napakahalagan yan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001410

Mr. Chair, kasi sa bawat

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001411

kabuhayan,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001412

hindi lang po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001413

isang tao ang nakikinabang, diba?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001414

Ang kanilang mga pamilya, yung kanilang mga

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001415

komunidad. Kaya kailangan natin tiyakin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001416

na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001417

pagdating sa mga kahalintulad

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001419

ang DSWD meron din pong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001420

sustainable livelihood program. Wala tayong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001421

duplication at matitiyak natin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001422

na ang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001423

naibibigay po ng mga subsidiya

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001424

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001425

e para dun sa layunin, at hindi po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001426

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001427

Sige, Director.

Director Norman Valora

asr-001428

Thank you, Your Honor.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001429

Madam Chair, we will be providing

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001430

Madam Chair, not Mr. Chair.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001431

Mr. Chair. Ikaw, ganoon.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001432

Sorry, I apologize. Kusi-on daka.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001433

Mr. Chair, we will be providing

Director Norman Valora

asr-001434

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001435

clients served, beneficiaries

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001436

for the individuals in the group

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001437

also, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001438

Okay. Binabanggit nyo ho kanina

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001439

na meron kayong manual of operations.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001440

Kada programa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001441

maari pong masumite na lang sa ating

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001442

komite at makita natin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001443

dito yung mga success indicators

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001444

at matiyak din po natin na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001445

kung may mga natulungan, meron pang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001446

matutulungan po na iba.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001447

Pagdating po sa mga kabuhay.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001448

You can submit to the committee.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001449

Ngayon naman, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001450

nabanggit din po kanina yung

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001451

tungkol sa You Can Be VP program

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001452

at hindi po ito yung unang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001453

pagkakataon na nabusisi

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001454

ang programa na ito dahil nga

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001455

napakalaki po ng pondo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001456

Vis-a-vis dun sa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001457

number of

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001458

beneficiary na nakalagay po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001459

sa inyong report ay dalawa lamang.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001460

So kung dalawa lang ang nakalagay dito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001461

nasa half a million yan per

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001462

beneficiary. Pero nabanggit nyo kanina

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001463

na meron din kayong mga related

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001464

activities and projects.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001465

Ilang dalawa yun?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001466

Activities and projects nakaugnay nito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001467

Pwede po ba kayong magbahagi

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001468

sa ating komite?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001469

Kung ano itong mga activities na ito?

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001470

Mr. Chair,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001471

aside from we are conducting

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001472

a huddle meeting with them

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001473

just to ensure that

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001474

they are okay. So we have the

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001475

kumustahan that we are doing with our

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001476

program Focal. That's

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001477

monthly, Your Honor.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001478

Minsan nagzo-zoom po kami.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001479

And when there's a program, there's a

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001480

big event of the Office of the Vice President

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001481

like Pasidungog

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001482

and other related activities na

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001483

may showcase ang mga programa

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001484

ng OVP. Yung limang

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001485

bata na nakita po natin kanina

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001486

sa audiovisual presentation, sila po

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001487

yung mga five recipients

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001488

na pinapapunta po din namin

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001489

sa Manila. Kasi nanggaling po ito sila

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001490

sa iba't ibang probinsya.

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001491

So through that, Your Honor, through

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001492

the exposure na meron po

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001493

sila, like also mentoring

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001494

na ginagawa po namin. And this

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001495

year, Your Honor, we're going to conduct the

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001496

Junior Leadership Program per

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001497

cluster. So we will be doing that

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001498

for Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001499

Your Honor. So ang ibig sabihin,

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001500

hindi po directly binibigay

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001501

po namin yung cash sa aming

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001502

mga recipients, but ginagamit

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001503

po namin yung pera para

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001504

sa mga activities, programs

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001505

related to You Can Be VP

Source

Director Norman Valora

asr-001506

program, Your Honor, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001507

Malaking concern to Mr. Chair, kasi

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001508

halimbawa po, ang 1.1

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001509

million, pwede po yan makatulong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001510

sa 100 na junior

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001511

high school students.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001512

Kung itutumbas po natin yan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001513

dun sa 11,000 pesos

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001514

na financial assistance

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001515

sa kanila. Ngayon, kung

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001516

hindi naman po

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001517

kinikwento ng numero

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001518

yung extent ng

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001519

servisyo o kaya naman yung

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001520

ginagawa sa ilalim ng programa, baka

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001521

panahon na po para baguhin itong mga

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001522

performance indicators na ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001523

At nais po natin malaman at

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001524

masumite na lang sa committee, yung

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001525

detalye po ng mga activities

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001526

na kinuha po natin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001527

ang pondo mula dito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001528

sa You Can Be VP program.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001529

Bukod po sa activities, yung

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001530

report din po ng number of participants,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001531

sinasabi nyo, hindi lang naman ito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001532

dalawa o lima, pero

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001533

mas marami pa pong mga nagiging

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001534

recipients. Ang ngayon naman,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001535

Mr. Chair, nais ko rin magtanong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001536

tungkol sa kanilang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001537

plantilya positions.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001538

You have a substantial proposal

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001539

for the next year at

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001540

220.232

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001541

million pesos. How many

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001542

personnel does this support and what is

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001543

the current plantilya vis-a-vis

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001544

the number of permanent and contractual

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001545

employees and how much is actually

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001546

spent on salaries, allowances,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001547

and other compensation versus

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001548

the services they actually

render? Thank you,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Source

Atty. Rosalynne L. Sanchez

Mr. Chair, the total budget

Source

Atty. Rosalynne L. Sanchez

asr-001595

for 2025

Source

Atty. Rosalynne L. Sanchez

asr-001596

is 56 million pesos.

Out of that, we have

as some expenses of the

Source

Atty. Rosalynne L. Sanchez

Good afternoon to the Office

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001641

of the Vice President and Family.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001642

Alam niyo po, hindi ko na kayo tatanungin sa budget,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001643

kasi pinag-aaralan ko yung mga budget

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001644

ng Vice President.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001645

Ang panahon ni

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001646

President Aquino, yung budget

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001647

ni Vice President,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001648

Binay, ay

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001649

0.02%

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001650

ng national budget.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001651

Nung panahon naman ni

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001652

President Duterte,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001653

ganun din, 0.02%

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001654

yung budget ni

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001655

Vice President Lenny. Ngayon,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001656

0.01%. Kaya hindi ko

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001657

natatanungin. Wala nang tatanungin.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001658

Wala nang uusisain.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001659

At mukhang self-explanatory

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001660

naman lang yung budget niyo.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001661

Pero you cannot deny

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001662

that the Vice President,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001663

is the second

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001664

highest official of the land.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001665

And

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001666

siguro po,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001667

one of the most popular leaders,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001668

political leaders in the country.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001669

May mga issues po na

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001670

hindi ko naman gusto

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001671

sagutin niyo. Alam ko naman hindi niyo

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001672

masasagot. Pero I think

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001673

the Vice President

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001674

should also

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001675

express

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001676

her opinion.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001677

For example,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001678

nakita naman natin yung problema

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001679

natin sa

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001680

corruption sa ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001681

At mayroong mga proposed

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001682

reforms. Gusto po natin

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001683

malaman lang kung ano yung

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001684

mga, kung ano yung

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001685

kanyang opinion

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001686

dito sa mga reform

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001687

proposals. For example,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001688

yung Cadena Act, para naman mas

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001689

transparent yung accountability.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001690

Ano ba ang kanyang

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001691

position dito?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001692

Meron din pong

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001693

mainit na

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001694

issue tungkol sa political

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001695

dynasties na

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001696

isa sa mga sinasabi,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001697

isa sa pinakadahilan ng

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001698

patuloy na corruption

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001699

because of the system of

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001700

political dynasties.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001701

Gusto lang natin

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001702

din malaman yung position dito

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001703

ni Vice President. Tapos

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001704

alam naman natin na isa sa mga

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001705

binabato sa

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001706

mga Duterte ay yung

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001707

mga

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001708

violent war on drugs.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001709

Pero siyempre, iba naman yung

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001710

tatay, iba naman yung anak.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001711

So, mahalaga siguro na malaman

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001712

ang mga mamamayang Pilipino kung ano

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001713

yung kanyang mga

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001714

paninindigan

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001715

sa mga ito.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001716

So, kung maipaabot nyo lang

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001717

na kung po pwede, magkaroon siya

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001718

ng maliwanag na

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001719

statements tungkol dito

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-001720

sa mga bagay nito. Yan lang po.
