Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000034Good afternoon, distinguished colleagues, to the Secretary of the Department of Information
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000035and Communications Technology, the heads and officials of the National Telecommunications
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000036Commission, the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center, the National Privacy
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000037Commission, as well as other officials and representatives joining us here today.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000038Good afternoon and welcome.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000039Today, we take up the fiscal year 2027 National Expenditures Program of the Department of
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000040Information and Communications.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000041Technology and its attached agencies.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000047We assess this budget at an important juncture for the country. In just a few years, the government has built
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000048a stronger legal foundation for a connected Philippines. The E-Governance Act advances
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000049digital government and integrated public services. The Conectadong Pinoy Act seeks to expand access
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000050and competition in data transmission and connectivity. But passing laws is only the
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000051beginning. This budget must turn those laws into actual service. For me, the first test remains
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000052connectivity. We will therefore be looking closely at the connectivity targets presented to Congress.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000053We want to know not only how many sites, access points, kilometers of fiber, or institutions are
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000054reported as connected, but whether or not people on the ground are actually receiving reliable,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000055usable, and affordable services.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000056This is particularly important for our public schools. Connectivity in schools should mean more
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000057than being able to just say that the school has been connected. We have to ask, is the connection
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000058actually working? Is the bandwidth sufficient for teachers and students? Is it reliable throughout
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000059the school day and cannot support digital learning, online government systems, and increasing
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000060technological resources?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000061In short, we have to validate whether our target translates into real connectivity.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000062Our challenge is not just how many sites are connected to the report. The question is whether
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000063teachers and students use it every day. And as we connect more Filipinos, we must also confront a
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000064second question.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000065Where does our data go? Who controls the infrastructure carrying it? And how well are we
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000066protecting it? Data sovereignty is no longer an abstract technological issue. Government is
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000067digitizing records, transactions, identities, payments, and public services. We're generating
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000068and processing enormous amounts of sensitive government data, citizen data. And so we need
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000069to understand where critical government data is stored.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000070We need to understand where infrastructure is, what infrastructure carries it, and what safeguards apply when cloud and data services are provided by foreign entities and whether government has adequate control over information that is critical to national security and public administration.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000071This brings us to the expanding role of the DICT. The Department can no longer be viewed as a simple government agency responsible for internet connectivity and information technology projects.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000073In this new age, DICT sits at the intersection of connectivity, cybersecurity, artificial
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000074intelligence, digital government, data governance, transparency, and economic development.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000075Cybersecurity is now national security.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000076Every government system we put online creates both an opportunity for better public service
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000077and a potential for attack.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000078The question for this committee is whether we are investing enough, not only in systems
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000079but in people, defenses, standards, and institutions to protect them.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000080Artificial intelligence presents another challenge.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000081AI can make government faster and more efficient.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000082It can support education, health, disaster response, agriculture, business, and many
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000083other sectors.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000084But government must also be prepared for its risks.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000085From deepfakes to automated fraud,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000086to privacy issues, cybersecurity, accountability, and the possible disruption of Filipino jobs.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000087Our approach cannot simply be to fear AI or to regulate it without understanding.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000088The Philippines should be positioning itself to use AI, govern AI responsibly, and create
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000089opportunities for Filipinos in AI-driven economies.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000090The same digital transformation should strengthen transparency.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000091Technology should make government easier to scrutinize, not harder.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000092Digital systems should allow citizens to know how public money is spent, how government
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000093decisions are made, and whether agencies are delivering what they promised.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000094If we are spending billions of pesos to digitize the government, the greater accountability
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000095and transparency should be among the returns of that investment.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000096Finally.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000097Digital policy is jobs policy.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000098Reliable broadband, competitive digital infrastructure, cloud services, cybersecurity, data centers,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000099digital platforms, and emerging technologies can attract investment and create higher-value
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000100employment.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000101Our objective should not be to just make Filipinos consumers of technology.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000102We should be building conditions for Filipinos to become developers, cybersecurity experts,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000103engineers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and creators of technology.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000104Ang digital transformation ay hindi lang tungkol sa mas mabilis na internet.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000105Dapat may trabaho, negosyo, oportunidad at mas mahusay na serbisyo na kasunod nito.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000106But opportunity must come with trust.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000107As more Filipinos transact, communicate, work, study, and receive government services online,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000108we also have to make
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000110digital space safer and more trustworthy. I want to raise one issue that goes directly to
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000111that responsibility. Over the past year, several members of the House have sought
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000112government assistance concerning social media content they reported as fake,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000113false, manipulated, defamatory, or otherwise harmful. These include requests
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000114involving fabricated stories, altered images, AI-generated content, allegations
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000115of corruption, personal attacks, and potentially threatening statements. Some
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000116content was removed, but in a number of cases, the reported material remains
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000117online even after referral, preservation, or review. One of the cases involves our
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000118colleague, Congressman Miro Quimbo. His office alone referred 197 Facebook
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000119links involving content directed against former Representative Stella Quimbo
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000120and her family. According to the report furnished to us, these links were
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000121monitored and validated, and the relevant digital material was preserved, but
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000122reported content remained online after Meta found no violation of its
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000123community standards. This raises a larger question which goes beyond the members
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000124of Congress.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000125What happens? How does the Agency help? Do we have a solution? Sino mananagot sa proseso?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000126At paano natin sisiguraduhin na may malinaw, mabilis, at transparent na tugon dito?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000127Because if this happens to members of Congress, what more the ordinary Filipino?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000128We must make sure, and be equally clear, that government should not become an arbiter,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000129of what opinions people may express online. Criticism of public officials is part of democratic
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000130life, but manipulated media, impersonation, fraud, threats, coordinated deceptive activity,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000131and other unlawful online conduct present a different problem, and require effective
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000132institutional response, consistent with freedom of expression and due process. And for that
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000133reason, I am formally
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000134turning over
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000135to the DICT
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000136and the Cybercrime
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000137Investigation
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000138Coordinating
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000139Center, the consolidated complaints supporting materials received from members
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000140from the House. And I am likewise furnishing META a copy for its appropriate review.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000141I ask the DICT and CIC to review these cases individually, and to report to this committee
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000142on what action has been taken and what remains pending, what further action may be taken,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000143within their respective mandates and what legal technical institutional or
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000144policy gaps may be preventing an effective response we also request meta
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000145or we are requesting method to review the reported content under its
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000146applicable policies and explain the disposition of referrals where
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000147appropriate and clarify for review or escalation mechanisms that are available
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000148when reported content is found not to violate its community standards and
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000149since representatives of meta have been requested also to attend this hearing I
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000150hope we can hear from them directly as I cannot place the blame solely on CICC
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000151and DICT for not being able to respond to many of the complaint complaints right
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000152away not just from members of Congress but from members all over government as
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000153well as from private sector in civil society
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000154so
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000155we examine the fiscal year twenty twenty seven budget and I would like to and I
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000156would like the department to satisfy this committee on several fundamental
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000157questions are our connectivity targets real measurable and felt on the ground
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000158particularly in our schools in underserved communities are we
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000159adequately protecting government systems critical infrastructure and Filipino
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000160data do we have clear strategy for cybersecurity and artificial
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000161intelligence, including the opportunities for Filipino workers and businesses?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000162Are our investments in digital government producing greater transparency,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000163accountability, and better public service?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000164And last, do our institutions have the capability, legal tools,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000165to respond effectively to new risks that come with an increasingly digital society,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000166especially for young people?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000167These are not separate issues.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000168These are all part of the same national project.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000169Connect the country, protect its data, secure its systems,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000170use technology to make government more transparent,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000171and make sure that the digital economy creates opportunities for Filipinos.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000172The trust of the people should be equal to the service.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000173And the connection should not just be
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000174fast, but safe.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000175With that, I now invite the Department to present its Fiscal Year 2027 proposal in detail.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000176After the presentation, we will hear questions, concerns, and views of our colleagues.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000177Thank you very much.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000178Secretary Henry Aguda, you may now proceed with your presentation.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000179Thank you, Mr. Chair.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000180Good afternoon, Mr. Chair.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000184Good afternoon, our budget sponsor, Congressman Brian Poe.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000185Maraming salamat po uli sa pangalawang taon na po natin na pinagtatrabahuhan ng budget.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000186The Honorable Vice Chairs and Members of the House Committee on Appropriations,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000187our distinguished members of the House of Representatives,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000188fellow public servants, ladies and gentlemen.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000189On behalf of the Department of Information, Communications, Technology,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000190and our attached agencies, the CICC, the NPC,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000191Maraming salamat po for this opportunity to present our proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2027.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000192At the DICT, we believe that every peso invested in ICT must translate into concrete and meaningful benefits for the Filipino.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000193Tulad po ng nasabi ng ating Chair at ang aming sponsor, hindi lang kailangan connected, kailangan napapakinabangan.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000194Our direction for Fiscal Year 2027 is
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000198anchored on the DICT strategic framework.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000199Para mas madali pong maalala.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000200D is for Digital First Economy.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000201We want to equip Filipinos with the skills, opportunities, and enabling environment they need to participate and succeed in an increasingly digital economy.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000202I is for Inclusive Tech for All.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000203Digital transformation must reach everyone.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000204This means expanding reliable and affordable connectivity
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000207and bringing digital infrastructure
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000208and services closer to
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000209our communities,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000210lalong-lalo na po
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000211sa mga kababayan
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000212natin
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000213sa GIDA areas. C is for championing cybersecurity and data privacy. As more Filipinos
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000214businesses and government services move online, we must make our digital environment safer,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000215more resilient, and more trusted. Connectivity and digitalization must always go hand in hand
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000216with cyber security and protection of our people's data. At kamakailan po, mainit-init
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000217ang usipin natin sa social media at sa mga NVE situation po. Kabilin-bilinan ng ating
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000218Pangulo, walang kabataan na dapat maiwan at walang kabataan na dapat mapahamak.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000219And T is for transparency and governance. We want technology to make government simpler,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000220faster, and more transparent, and more responsive to our citizens so that our citizens spend
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000221less time navigating government processes.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000222And more time benefiting from the services of what government provides. Kaya po nandyan
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000223po ang ating E-Gov app, nandyan po ang E-LGU, at marami pang mga sistema para hindi na
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000224pumipila ang ating mga kababayan, kundi nasiservisuhan na mas mabilis. Because ultimately,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000225digital transformation is not simply about technology, it is about people. Ang tunay
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000226na sukatan nito ay kung maaabot at nararamdaman ba ng ating mga kababayan ang benepisyon ng
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000227teknolohiya. And before we proceed to the numbers and programs, we would first like
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000228to hear from some of the Philippine
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000229At the heart of our work, may maiksi lang pong AVP na papakita. Maiksi lang naman po yan, Mr. Chair.
Presentation video
asr-000230Ang present natin ngayon is halos lahat nangyayari nasa internet. Kapag wala kang internet, parang mapag-iiwanan ka.
Presentation video
asr-000231Ang pre-Wi-Fi po sa amin ay bihirang bihira po. Kami po ay kasalukuyang kumukonekta gamit po ng data sa aming mga telepono.
Presentation video
asr-000232Actually, before po, nung wala pa pong DICT po, yung ginagawa po ng mga tao po dito, pumupunta pa po sila sa taas ng hundok po.
Presentation video
asr-000233Without centralized services, agencies would need to make independent investments in hardware, which is quite expensive.
Presentation video
asr-000234Sa loob ng ilang linggo, paggamit namin ng DICT by ANC, nagdala ito ng pagbabago.
Presentation video
asr-000235Lalo lalo na sa aming pagtuturo, mas naging engaging ang aming talakayan.
Presentation video
asr-000236Mas aktibo na nakikilabok ang amin.
Presentation video
asr-000237Ang aming mga mag-aaral.
Presentation video
asr-000238These services deliver value far beyond subscription-based infrastructure.
Presentation video
asr-000239They enable government agencies like ours, particularly those with limited resources and manpower, to actively participate in digital transformation.
Presentation video
asr-000240This kind of communication equipment is going to help people communicate in a time of crisis.
Presentation video
asr-000241One of the biggest challenges is to know where to send help, who needs the help, and how to get it to people.
Presentation video
asr-000242Malaking tulong talaga siya sa amin, and I also hope that this project can be expanded farther, and that internet connectivity will continue to improve, especially in farther barangays where the signal is limited.
Presentation video
asr-000243This is going to be the success factor that is going to save lives and change lives.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000244Yan po isang maiksing video lang para sa DICT.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000245Bago po namin puntahan ng mga numero,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000246bigyan ko lang po siguro ako ng konting personal na mensahe po ng pasasalamat.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000247Pasasalamat po dahil pangalawang budget hearing ko na po ito.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000248Una po sa Pangulo, sa kanyang vision at sa kanyang suporta sa DICT,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000249sa mga sumusuporta po namin sa buong kongreso po,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000250malaking bagay po ang mga batas na naipasan nyo.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000251Yung konektadong Pinoy, malaking nagawa po niya sa industriya ng telecommunications.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000252Hindi man siya nakasama sa budget namin.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000253Pero gusto ko pong ihayag sa committee na nasa 2.4 billion US dollars po
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000254ang committed investment ng telecoms industry ngayong taon po.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000255Yan po ay nasa between the 2 to 3 billion na inaasahan natin na manggagaling sa kanila.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000256Ang pagpapasa nyo po ng e-governance act na ngayon ay magiging full speed ahead na po.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000257Yan po ang magpapadali at magiging efficient po ang servisyo ng ating pamahalaan.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000258At sa mga oversight committees na lahukan po namin,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000259umaasa po kami yung mga susunod na batas,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000260aayos po yung mga iba pa nating mga mas matitinding haharapin sa cyber security, social media, etc.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000261Sa mga kasama ko po sa DICT at ang mga attached agency, CICC, NPC, NTC,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000262tumataas po ang kumpiyansa ko sa servisyo ng mga tao sa gobyerno.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000263Masisipag, magagalang, at professional po ang mga tao sa DICT.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000264Lahat po ay pwede nyo lapitan at lahat po ay hindi tatanggi sa pagsisilbi sa bayan.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000265Doon po sa ating mga kababayan, lalo na po yung mga matagal nang naghihintay ng connectivity.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000266Salamat po sa inyong pagtangkilik sa servisyo ng DICT.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000267Salamat po at alam namin naghintay kayo ng matagal.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000268At kayo po ang dahilan kung bakit ngayong budget season na ito,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000269bawat piso na hihingin namin sa Kongreso ay ilalaan namin sa pagsisilbisyo sa inyo.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000270Afterwards, with the permission of the Chair,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000271I will now turn over the detailed presentation to our Undersecretary for Support Services,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000272Undersecretary Heherson Asiddao,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000273who will present highlights of the Department's accomplishment in our proposed budget
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000274for Fiscal Year 2027
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000275that is embodied in our NEP.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000276Again, maraming maraming salamat po.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000277Thank you, Mr. Secretary.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000278Usec. Asiddao, you're recognized.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000279Thank you very much, Sec. Henry.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000280With your permission, Mr. Chair and the honorable members of this committee,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000281a pleasant afternoon to everyone.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000282Allow us first to highlight some of the landmark accomplishments and reforms
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000283that are already translating our investments in ICT into tangible benefits for the Filipino people.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000285Mr. Chair, a copy of our full-page presentation is provided to each member of this committee for your perusal.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000286I will go over the landmark accomplishments and at the same time the detailed NEP for 2027.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000287Mr. Chair, one of the most significant accomplishments is bringing government services
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000288directly into the hands of millions of Filipinos through the eGov Super App.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000289Today, we are proud to say that we have 61 million plus downloads,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000291More than 56 million verified accounts and over 1.2 billion eGovDX transactions
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000292with 1,332 government e-services already integrated.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000293These include everyday services such as PhilHealth, eTravel, eCov, eTrabajo, eLGU, and eReport,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000294alongside more than 92 million digital national IDs issued and over 300 million digital ID transactions.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000295More importantly, digital government is now institutionalized through the
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000296e-Governance Act and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000297Our direction is clear.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000298Instead of citizens having to navigate government,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000299we are bringing government closer to the citizen through one increasingly integrated digital ecosystem.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000300Alongside expanding digital services, we have pursued reforms that make it faster and easier
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000301to build telecommunications infrastructure, ranging from streamlined permitting
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000302and longer regulatory validity to infrastructure sharing and open access.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000303These reforms help enable expansion of telecommunications towers from close to 18,000 in 2020 to about 35,000 in 2023,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000304while the number of connected Filipinos increased from 77 million in July 2022 to about 99 million by June of 2026.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000305With the help of the Konektadong Pinoy Act, we are building on these gains by promoting greater competition,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000306infrastructure sharing, and more efficient network deployment.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000307The objective is straightforward.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000308As government becomes more digital, connectivity must expand with it so more Filipinos can actually participate and benefit.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000309These infrastructure and policy reforms are translating into measurable improvements in the everyday internet experience of Filipinos.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000310Since 2022, mobile download speeds have more than doubled, while fixed broadband speeds have also improved.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000311At the same time, Filipinos are getting significantly
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000312more data for every peso spent.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000313Most importantly, Mr. Chair, access is expanding.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000314The share of Filipinos using internet increased from 25.4% in 2019 to about 67% in 2024,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000315while households with internet access increased from 17.7% to about 48.8%.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000316So the story across these first three accomplishments is connected.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000317We are digitalizing government, removing barriers to connectivity,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000318and working to ensure that faster and more affordable internet allows more Filipinos to actually participate in our digital transformation.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000319And we are applying that same principle of digital transformation to improve specific government services.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000320When better connectivity is paired with digital government, we can transform even very specific services that directly affect people's livelihoods.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000321A good example is the PIMEDES portal,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000322Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000323What used to take an average of three months through a manual process can now be completed digitally in about five days.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000324As of May 2026, Mr. Chair,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-0003251,400 drivers have registered nationwide.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000326[unclear] open [unclear] manual [unclear].
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao

DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao

DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000332[unclear]
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000333As more services [unclear].
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000334[unclear]
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000335[unclear] even more [unclear].
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000336[unclear] center.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000338We funded coverage from just 10 government agencies
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000339in 2022
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000340to 99
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000341agencies by August 2026,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000342providing continuous
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000343cyber monitoring
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000344across government.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000345To date, Mr. Chair, the NSOC has monitored about 6.7 billion security alerts, demonstrating both the scale of threats we face and the importance of maintaining a strong national cyber defense capability.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000346Our investment in the next-generation hybrid NSOC will therefore sustain and strengthen 24-7 protection across disconnected agencies. Because our digital transformation can only succeed if Filipinos can also trust that the government systems and services they increasingly depend on are secure and resilient.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000347But a secure and connected digital Philippines is only meaningful if Filipinos also have the skills to participate in it.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000348From 2022 to 2026,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000349DICT has reached about 695,000 Filipinos through free and accessible ICT capacity development, providing free training in areas such as AI, emerging technologies, cybersecurity, digital work, entrepreneurship, and digital literacy.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000350Through our DTCs, or Digital Transformation Centers, and initiatives such as SPARC, we are also bringing these opportunities closer to communities.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000351Including support that has helped form 35 local freelancer organizations nationwide.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000352Our goal is to complete the chain, connect our people, protect them online, equip them with relevant digital skills, and ultimately open more opportunities for work, enterprise, and participation in digital economy.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000353As we expand these programs, we are also continuously improving how we deliver them.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000354A good example is our free public internet access program.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000355Through improved technology, contracting, and connectivity arrangement, we have achieved reported cost efficiencies of up to 70%, Mr. Chair, while continuing to expand access, particularly in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000356Today, free Wi-Fi has reached about 10.37 million unique beneficiaries with 127.49 million user sessions.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000357At an estimated cost of about 22.4 pesos per unique beneficiary, and that's per month.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000358This reflects how we want the ICT to work.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000359Expand what delivers, impact, measure performance, learn from implementation, and continuously find ways to deliver more value for every peso entrusted to us.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000360And that is the principle we will carry moving forward.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000361Not simply to do more, but to do better.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000362More efficiently, more effectively, and with greater success.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000363And with greater impact for the Filipino people.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000364Mr. Chair, I will now proceed to the Fiscal Year 2027 National Expenditure Program and present how the proposed budget will support the Department's priorities and commitments for the coming year.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000365For the Fiscal Year 2027, the proposed budget for the ICT and its attached agencies totals 19.491 billion.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000366Of this amount, 17.6 billion is for the DICT Office of the Secretary.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000367While 594.4 million is provided for CICC, 505.4 million for the National Privacy Commission, and 790 million for the National Telecommunications Commission.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000368Across the entire department, the budget consists of 1.692 billion for personal services, 13.9 billion for MOE, and 3.892 billion for capital outlay.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000369In closing, Mr. Chair, and the honorable members of this committee, what we have presented today is more than a list of programs, targets, and budget figures.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000370Ito po ang direksyon ng DICT, mula connectivity, digital government, cybersecurity, digital skills, and jobs, hanggang sa pagbuo ng isang mas modernong gobyerno na tunay na naramdaman ng ating mga kababayan.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000371With the support of the Congress for our Fiscal Year 2027 budget, we commit to translate every peso.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000373entrusted to DICT into better connectivity, better digital services, greater digital opportunities, and concrete benefits for every Filipino.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-000374Maraming salamat po, and magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000375Alright, maraming salamat po.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000376Okay, with that, we will now go on to allowing our colleagues here to ask their questions of the department regarding the NEP for fiscal year 2027.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000377May I remind our distinguished colleagues that each member is allotted five minutes for questions or interpolation, excluding the response of the resource persons.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000378When the bell sounds, the member has 30 seconds to conclude.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000379Consistent with the long-standing practice of the House, the Chair shall recognize the minority, independent, and majority members in an alternating manner when practicable.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000380The Chair first recognizes the Honorable Renee Ko from the minority.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000381Ah, dapat, pero yung una nawala eh.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000382So, ladies first, as they say.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000383Mr. Chair, thank you very much.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000384And good afternoon.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000385Good afternoon to the Department of Information and Communication Technology.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000386My question would first be in relation to RA 10929, or the Free Public Internet Access Act.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000387Last year, we took note of your report, and we also find it in the handout that the department gave us.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000388That they targeted, or the department targeted, 10.2 million.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000389individual beneficiaries for 2026, and then supposedly 4.5 million users for 2027.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000390Can I check if that's correct?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000391From last year, you mentioned that the target is 15.8 million individual beneficiaries.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000392This was set in 2025.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000393May I ask kung ano na pong progress, and ano pong nilalaman ng, supposedly, pag-targeting?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000394ng beneficiaris ng RA 10929 in this manner?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000395Mr. Chair, Your Honor, I would like to ask my colleague, Asek Chris, to respond with a detailed answer for your question, if it's okay, Mr. Chair.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000396Good afternoon, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000397Yes, you may be recognized.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000398Good afternoon, Mr. Chair.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000399Currently, Mr. Chair, we have about 10.37 million unique users for the August 31 data, and that encompasses 11,836 different locations, composed of schools, markets, tourist spots, public places, barangay halls, and other public plazas, with 29,091 operational access points.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000400Mr. Chair.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000401Correct me if I'm wrong na lang.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000402Tinak-count niyo po kung ilan po yung nakakakonect sa free public internet, and yun yung characterization natin ng beneficiaris.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000403Is this correct, Mr. Chair?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000404Yes, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000405So, Mr. Chair, last year, you mentioned na may 15.8 million target beneficiaris kayo.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000406So, I assume because ang report niyo po ay 10.3 million this year, hindi po natin na-meet yung target na yun.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000407So, can I ask po ba, paano niyo po ba ino-operationalize?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000408Ito nga po, ma'am. Patray nga po itong wireless.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000409Sorry po.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000410Connectivity issue, right now.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000411Ayan, sige.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000412Ayan, so paano niyo po na may measure yung gusto nating 15 million na target beneficiaris?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000413Will you just add, essentially, access points?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000414And paano may ensure na yung additional 5 million ay maka-access to these access points?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000415Mr. Chair.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000416For now po, we aim to achieve the 15 million unique users by the end of this year.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000417So, we have a lot of projects right now that are in the pipeline and are nearing the post-qual evaluation and subsequent award.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000418With this po, pag nag-start na po mag-deployment, we will be deploying additional access points in different locations
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000419that covers po yung mga public markets, tourist spots, and additional schools po.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000420Ati po mga rural health units po natin.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000421So, that's how we aim to achieve yung 15 million target po natin.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000422So, maintain po yung 15.8 million target beneficiaris for this year also?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000423Yes, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000424Okay, and by adding access points.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000425Can I ask po, because under the law, may minimum na sineset na sana po yung public basic education institutions and state universities and colleges ay makabitan.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000426Can I ask for...
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000427Progress update po dito.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000428Ilan po bang...
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000429How many percentage of public educational institutions and SUCs ang nakabitan na po natin?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000430Yung sa...
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000431For the...
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000432Mr. Chair, yung for sa DepEd schools po muna unahin ko.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000433Yung sa schools connected po natin, based on our latest data,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000434last August 31, 99.39% na po ang schools out,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000435considering po yung mga DepEd schools na 45,328.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000436So, 99.39% na po yung connected.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000437And we also have yung...
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000438Sa SUCs naman po, meron po tayong ongoing na project din po sa free Wi-Fi
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000439to connect po yung 220 state universities and colleges nationwide for Phase 1
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000440and then we'll connect the balance po by next year.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000441Okay.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000442Pwede po bang makahingi ng list of schools and SUCs na hindi pa po nakakabitan?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000443And even yung priority markets?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000444Or public areas na gustong kabitan para po ma-meet yung 15 million target?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000445Mr. Chair, we will comply, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000446Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000447Mr. Chair, bilang principal author yung Kabataan Partylist,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000448or one of the principal authors of what is now RA 10929,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000449gusto po natin na continuously ay natche-check kung paano po na-implement ito
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000450at paano nagiging beneficiary at nahahatid sa kabataan yung connectivity.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000451Bilang at this point, bahagi na siya ng right to information.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000452Or freedom of access of information.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000453Mr. Chair, my next question would be in relation to siguro pagpondo nito,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000454magkano po yung pondo na nire-request?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000455Is it still 5 million?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000456And is that 3% of the BESF?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000457For free Wi-Fi, Mr. Chair, the request is about 5 billion pesos, Mr. Chair, from the SUF.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000458And siguro is that yung pinaka-request na po?
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000459Kasi naalala ko lang.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000460Last year, 7.5 billion yung request for the Free Public Internet Access Act.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000461Mr. Chair, yung sa 5 billion po na-request,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000462ito po yung will ensure na yung mga nakabitanan po natin ngayon ng locations,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000463masusustain po natin siya for next.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000464But if we're going to have to add more locations and add more schools na makukonektan pa,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000465mapaprovide na natin ng libre connectivity na reliable,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000466we will need to have...
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000467may synergy naman po kasi tayo with yung mga other NBP or other programs po ng DICT.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000468Pero for free Wi-Fi, yung mas direct and mabilis pong impact is
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-000469every peso po na-added sa FPF budget will really translate po agad sa last mile connectivity.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000470Okay, sige.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000471Kung may additional budget request na lang po in relation sa kung paano mas mapupondohan yung mga additional access,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000472points ay pwede rin pong makareceive na lang through this committee ang representation na ito.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000473Mr. Chair, my next question is in relation to social media registration,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000474given na ito po ay isang mainit na usapin,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000475given po yung naging instances of violence in schools,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000476na napadaloy po yung hindi lang communications,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000477pero paano po nahubog sa ganong sitwasyon through social media.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000478At meron pong mga naging dialogues,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000479ang DICT with...
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000480well, social media platforms like Meta,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000481kung paano po ito kagawin and through at pagbibigay pa nga po ng national ID
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000482para po maikumpirma yung mga ilang detalye ng mga users dito.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000483And many rights groups are concerned about the implementation of social media registration in the country.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000484So pwede po bang makapag-share ang departamento ng specific plan and or facing of the implementation, Mr. Chair?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000485Mr. Chair, Your Honor,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000486background,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000487lang po,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000488yung meeting na nangyari sa Singapore,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000489kasama po natin si Congresswoman Matibag din to represent the House,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000490nangyari between Meta and Roblox.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000491Sinama po natin doon ng National Privacy Commission,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000492ang NTC, CICC, and NBI,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000493as well as DepEd po.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000494Just as a background, the discussion was very comprehensive.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000495Marami pong napag-usapan,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000496hindi lang naman yung identity violation,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000497doon sa tanong nyo po na identity verification as it relates to the national ID.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000498Si Roblox kasi,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000499karamihan ng mga stakeholder niya, mga bata.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000500Ang isang problema ni Roblox kasi is age verification.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000501Para lang ma-verify yung age nila,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000502magpapa facial, I mean facial recognition.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000503Facial recognition, tapos yung software nila,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000504plus minus one, two years.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000505May tatlong klase kasi ng Roblox,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000506meron yung nine and below,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000507meron yung nine to sixteen, and sixteen and above.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000508Ang napag-usapan namin,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000509paano mas magiging accurate yung age verification?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000510Meron kasing tinatawag na i-verify solution ang national ID.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000511So kung nandoon na po ang national ID nyo,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000512sa nandoon na ang national ID nyo,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000513kahit nawala pa yung physical card,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000514basta yung digital,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000515biometrics nyo nandoon na sa Philippine Statistical Authority,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000516pwede na sila mag-API call.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000517So ang mangyari si Roblox, tatanungin si national ID,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000518eto bang si Juan de la Cruz na sinasabing nine years old,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000519na eto yung address niya, et cetera, siya ba yan?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000520Mag-yes-no lang yun.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000521So wala pong ililipat na personal information from PSA
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000522papunta sa Roblox.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000523Ang mangyayari lang is ibe-verify lang na tama yung tao na nagpa,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000524Siyempre pag
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000525sinabi niyang nine years old yan, Juan de la Cruz,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000526tapos ang edad pala niya doon sa national ID 16,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000527ang lalabas na sagot doon, no?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000528So yun lang po yung gagwing ni Roblox.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000529Ngayon, kapag gumana po yan sa Roblox,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000530yun naman ang sinasabi ni Meta na po pwede niyang gamitin
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000531as another tool para makapag-verify din po siya
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000532ng edad ng mga kabataan or iba pang mga information na baka,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000533kailangan nilang makalap.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000534Ito naman po yung nakafocus on making sure na kung sino man yung user,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000535age-appropriate yung content na makukuha niya po.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000536Your Honor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000537Mr. Chair, just today ay may essentially statement or update ang Meta.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000538Sinabi niya may quote-unquote,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000539technical complexity for integrating the Philippine national ID for user verification.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000540Ano po ba yung dini-detail ng Meta dito na
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000541kahirapan,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000542if ever?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000543Yung sinabi naman nila eh, may intindihan po natin.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000544Hindi pa nila nagagawa yan anywhere in the world.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000545First time sa Philippines magagawa yan na mag-i-integrate sila into sovereign national ID.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000546Ang kabalang ni Meta, pagkaginawa namin yan sa isang bansa,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000547gagawin namin yan sa 170 or so countries.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000548So, naiintindihan namin complexity.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000549Kaya ang sagot ni Meta, magpapadala po siya ng technical working team dito in the next two weeks to study.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000550Kaya naman po importante sa amin yung Roblox.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000551Si Roblox po ang nag-suggest noong national ID.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000552Kung babalikan po natin yung meeting, yung unang-unang presentation sa amin ni Roblox eh sinabi nila,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000553oh, baka pwede nating gamitin yung field CIS.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000554Kaya umaasa kami na pagka naging successful si Roblox dyan,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000555baka yan din po yung maging technical template and policy template for the other social media platforms.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000556To follow.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000557Your Honor.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000558Last question, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000559Last question.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000559-split-2Thank you.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000560Mr. Chair, because today as well, may statement ang Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group na sinabi po niya
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000561that the SIM Registration Act has failed in its original promise of ending cybercrime and scams through SMS.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000562Ineffective daw siya stating that many recent cybercrimes like online selling and scams
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000563still rely on registered SIM cards.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000564So meron pong bagong ditong proposal for registration.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000565Ayaw nating essentially mapaso kumpara doon sa kung paano nangyari yung sa SIM card registration
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000566na ang citation po ng mga implementing agencies ay it failed in its original promise and premise.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000567Siguro ano pong panghahawakan natin, paano po ma-assure ng department na yung mga problems such as for example,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000568yung trolls, fake accounts to access social media sites or platforms na hindi dapat ma-access ng mga ganong nasa edad,
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000569mare-resol ba when other registration avenues and policies have failed in solving these existing problems?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000570Mr. Chair, Your Honor, yung SIM registration po didn't live up to its full promise.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000571Nung nandun po ako sa private sector at lumabas,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000572lumabas yung SIM registration, tuwang-tuwa po kami diyan.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000573Kasi as a banker, ang kalaban po namin yung mga mules and alam nyo na po yung ginagawa ng mga mules, false identity sila. Kaya nung linabas po yung SIM registration, masaya kami sa banko. For a while, it worked.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000574Ang naging problema lang sa SIM registration, ang daming IDs na pwedeng gamitin. Labing pitupu ata yun kung di ako nagkakamali. Kami naman po ngayon sa NTC, kasama po sila Commissioner Ella, nag-iisip na baka dapat bawasan natin yung type of IDs.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000575Baka dapat sa tatlo lang na national ID ang isa, passport at saka license. Kasi yung mga ibang IDs medyo...
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000576So, yun po, iiwasan natin na maulit yan sa paggamit ng identity verification, age verification on social media platform by sticking to the national ID.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000577Kasi pag national ID na yan, medyo mahirap mo nang i-fake kasi. So, yun po yung balak namin gawin. Limited to an ID that has a higher chance na tama yung tao at saka tama yung information.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000578na nandoon po. Your Honor.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000579Thank you very much.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000580Thank you very much. So, as a final manifestation, we listened to the groups na may privacy issues. Ang current answer, at least for now, ay that data won't be stored anywhere else other than government.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000581Kasi verification of the details lang yung ibibigay. So, we'd like to further discuss paano ma-insure na yun yung mangyari.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000582I understand na sa dialogue phase pa ang everything at hindi pa ito ang siguradong mangyayari. So, Mr. Chair, siguro I'm looking forward na lang i-hash out itong mga policies na ito na ang punto po ay hindi po mag-i-intrude doon sa right to privacy ng mga mga maya.
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co
asr-000583Sige, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000584Thank you. Thank you, Kong. So, moving forward, I'd like to recognize some additional members who just came in.

Rep. Brian Poe

Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000595to plenary. Uh, with that being said,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000596can I check first if, uh, Representative J. Vergara is here?
Rep. Brian Poe

Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000604Okay. Nung nagmi-meeting kami, kasi, um, in other countries, diba, totally banned na ang meta,
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000605ang any kind of platforms, whenever these things are already happening. So, during the meeting,
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000606I don't know if I have, I have to, ano, tell this now, pero during the meeting, I, I was very, ano,

And, uh, I also want to, um, thank, also, the Secretary's support under the House Resolution No. 900, wherein, um, directing the committees on women and gender equality, information, communications, and technology, welfare of children, public order and safety conduct, and inquiry and aid of legislation.

Rep. Ann Matibag

Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000615solusyon agad with the
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000616age, um, um, personality verification.
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000617Um,
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000618uh, maybe we can just
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000619discuss a little, Sir, yung timeline
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000620talaga. Kasi, okay,
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000621we already had a meeting, pumunta pa po
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000622tayo ng Singapore, ano, pero
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000623what is really the most important
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000624thing here is kailan sila pupunta
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000625dito to finally set up
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000626their office so that they will,
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000627have a jurisdiction or they will follow the laws of the Philippines.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000628Mr. Chair, Your Honor, concrete timelines po.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000629Ang sinabi namin kay ROBLOX, no later than October, they should comply.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000630For the committee's appreciation, there were five demands we gave to ROBLOX since May pa.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000631So one, dapat i-segment na nila yung platform nila.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000632Ginawa nilang ROBLOX for Kids, ROBLOX Select, tapos ROBLOX.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000633Wala po yan dati.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000634Noong May, na kinol natin yung attention nila, tumugman naman sila.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000635So linagay nila.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000636Yung second, na nag-comply sila, yung chat.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000637Yung chat ng mga bata doon, ano yun, binabantayan po ng ROBLOX yun.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000638So makikita nila yung mga keywords na related to NVE, related to sexual acts, etc.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000639Malalaman nila kung ano yung pinag-usapan ng mga bata.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000640Kaya minsan,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000641yung mga kabataan, hindi doon sa ROBLOX nagplaplano.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000642Lumalabas sila ng another chat.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000643Pangatlo, yung parental control, default na po sa ROBLOX.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000644Yung dalawa na kailangan nila mag-comply, yung magtayo ng opisina sa Pilipinas,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000645pero sinared na po nila sa amin, meron na po silang hinare na 300 people,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000646not through ROBLOX directly, but through a partner of ROBLOX.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000647Nagtayo na rin po sila ng opisina sa Singapore.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000648Dati po, walang opisina ROBLOX sa Singapore.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000649Inuna muna nila yung Singapore, may lima na silang empleyado.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000650Tapos isusunod na nila yung sa Pilipinas.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000651Yung fifth na lang nakulang is yung age verification through the national ID.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000652So by October, dapat o kompleto na po si ROBLOX.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000653Again, I keep repeating ROBLOX kasi they can become the template for the other social media platform.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000654Kung nagawa nila, yung iba dapat magawa rin.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000655Yung kay Meta naman po, ang pangako pa lang nila is on the enforcement side.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000656Yung tinatawag nating attribution.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000657Pag may gumawang kalukuhan sa Facebook, dapat malaman ng authorities natin sino yun.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000658I think they will fly in next week together with TWG.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000659Bubuo na sila ng TWG together with NBI and the police.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000660Ang medyo matagal lang na usapan sa kanila yung pagtatayo ng opisina.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000661Kasi yun, pag re-require kasi natin sila na magkaroon ng opisina,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000662yung mga ibang bansa rin, baka i-require sila.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000663Although, since we have the representative from Congress and Senate during that meeting,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000664alam na nila yung parating na legislation.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000665And alam nila na sa Pinas, i-require sila.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000666So naghahanda na rin sila.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000667So Meta, realistically, baka before end of the year sila either tumupad o ma-violate nila yung deadline.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000668Yun po, Mr. Chair, Your Honor.
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000669Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000670But with that, Secretary,
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000671convince them na talagang magkaroon ng office
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000672because we've been trying to talk also with the Meta representative.
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000673Like, wala siyang magagawa dahil, you know, he can only do as much, right?
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000674So, yun talaga yung target natin, magkaroon siya ng office dito or else, totally ba natin si Meta?
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000675Yes.
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000676So, Mr. Chair, one more thing is that, how is DICT working with the law enforcement?
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000677With the PNP, with the cybercrime, with the NBI, also with the CICC, DepEd, and other agencies to respond faster to online sexual exploitation,
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000678especially to grooming, cyberbullying, violence content, and the digital violence that we are experiencing right now,
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000679not only to the House of Representatives following the letter from the committee ng mga fake news, information, harassment,
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000680for the public officials, but we are more, as a nanay, as a parent, I am more concerned with the children's mental health experiences that they're actually experiencing right now.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000681Mr. Chair, Your Honor, sagutin ko lang yung isang tanong, yung, sorry, update pala.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000682So, binabantayan namin si Meta, and yung nabanggit niyo, Your Honor, na kailangan na empower yung office nila dito.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000683Bigyan siya ng additional authority. So, may mga bagay na pwede na siyang magdesisyon.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000684For the details naman on how we coordinate with the law enforcers and the processes, if the chairman would allow me,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000685I will turn it over to the Executive Director of CICC, who would have more in-depth answers to your question earlier,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000686with the permission of the Chair, if I can ask Edie Aboy.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000687Yes, please.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000688Executive Director, you're recognized.
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-000689Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon to the members of the committee.
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-000690Simple answer po. Under the CICC, there's an executive committee headed by the Secretary of the ICT as its chairman, co-chaired right now, or the secretariat is the CICC.
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-000691But the members are the PNPACG, the NBI, and the DOJOOC. So, at that level pa lang po, maganda na yung coordination natin.
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-000692And right now po, we are proud to say that the
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-000693Threat Monitoring Center, when we transferred to Studio 7, is now operational, and we are training members of law enforcement agencies,
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-000694partner agencies like the DMW for various concerns they have, private sector partners also, advocacy groups, that they would have a seat in the TMC,
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-000695where we in every agency that is concerned with law enforcement and the prevention of scams and online crimes.
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-000696are already in one room and can readily respond whenever we detect something on the Threat Monitoring Center. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000697Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, lastly na lang, I have 50 seconds, no?
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000698So, DICT, in my district, meron po kaming school, no? It's an elementary school, fully air-conditioned, so you were able to inaugurate it last year.
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000699And then, hopefully, we are requesting, I am requesting for it to have...
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000700Wi-Fi, sana, sa buong schools, no? And then, I am, I think this month, the NBI will be also launching their NBI Junior.
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000701So, I hope we can partner with you together with DepEd, NBI, and DICT that, finally, we are trying to protect the rights of the children and their safety and their welfare.
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000702So, for this reason, Mr. Chair, I support adequate funding for the DICT so that it can continue, continue.
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000703It can continue improving.
Rep. Ann Matibag
asr-000704It can continue improving our digital infrastructure while building a safer and more responsible digital environment for every batang Pilipino. Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000705Thank you, Kong. Kong Anne brings up a really good point. I think we're being really too nice to Meta when it comes to the way we engage with them.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000706You know, realistically, the Philippines is the fifth largest audience on Meta. Globally, we make up 3% of Meta's online population.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000707That means one out of every 32 users on Meta is Filipino.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000708And yet, we play by their rules as if, and they toss us aside as if we're not important to them.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000709I don't understand why that's the case. Whereas, with X, when we threatened to shut down X in the Philippines because of the content they were allowing,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000710we're only number 12 in X's rankings, only 1.7% of their population, and yet X immediately responded with better safety guidelines and regulations.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000711So, I feel that the...
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000712The ICT moving forward has to really put its foot down already with Meta because it is influencing our children, it is influencing the youth of this nation,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000713and it is also influencing the political discourse of our country, at which point it is more of a question of sovereignty and the future of this nation.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000714That is a big responsibility which I...
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000715feel that DICT should make
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000716Meta feel. That's all.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000717Sorry I had to interject,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000718but I feel it's about time
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000719someone did. So thank you, Kong
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000720Ann, for bringing that up.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000721With that being said, we now go back to the
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000722minority. We recognize
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000723Representative Sarah Ilago.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000739government agencies.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000740Halimbawa na ang
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000741spoofing sa LTO.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000742Nagagamit ho yung pangalan ng LTO
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000743para mag-send ng notice
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000753Ah, Mr. Chair,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000754your honor, tama po yung
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000755nabanggit kanina.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000756We need to do
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000757more on the SIM Registration Act.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000758At isa po sa balak naming
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000759i-rehab is yung number of
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000760IDs na pwedeng gamitin. Kasi ang nangyari,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000761nag-SIM register siya.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000762Alam niyo na po yung istorya dati sa
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000763SIM registration. Yung picture,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000764hindi pa nga tao, etc.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000765So ngayon, inayos ng mga telco
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000766yun through the
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000767push of NTC. Pero
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda

asr-000769nagagamit na
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000770tawagin na nating fake.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda

DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000772IDs na nabanggit ko kanina,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000773dapat po mabawasan. On the point

asr-000849Mr. Chair, yes.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000850Sorry, just to interject real quick.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000851I wanted to come from DICT,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000852we're talking about how to
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000853limit these issues. Ano ba talaga
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000854yung ideal IDs
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000855na pwede natin i-recognize?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000856Si Congressman
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000857Richard Gomez brought
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000858up earlier na we really have to
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000859limit the number, but it should
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000860come from your end kung ano talaga yung
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000861effective dito. Sorry,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000862you'll have your time po.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000863Mr. Chair, Your Honor,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000864if you
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000865will ask us,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000866it's the national ID.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000867Kasi the national ID right now, if you
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000868recall,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000869the banks are now going
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000870to use the national ID for
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000871bank account opening. So if
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000872your bank account is open
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000873through the national ID, and the phone
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000874where you got the SIM from is also
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000875verified sa national ID,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000876one golden record na lang tayo.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000877Unfortunately, as much as
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000878we want that to happen,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000879it's within the lokasay of the SIM registration.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000880I think there's a proposal,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000881a proposed amendment to the law
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000882to limit na yung ID.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000883At the same time,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000884limit the number of SIMs that you could buy.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000885Kasi minsan, medyo malabo
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000886ng ID, baka kabilika pa ng
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000887100 SIMs. Iyon po yung
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000888nagiging problema.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000889May we request an official position paper from
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000890the DICT regarding this matter?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-000891Alright. Thank you, Mr. Chair. We'll submit pa.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000892Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Kong.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000897Para mahabol talaga, no?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000898Itong mga gumagamit
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000899ng ganitong mga pamamaraan.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000900Dahil, ang
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000906pagkakataon talaga na hindi mo
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000907siya may iwasan. O kaya naman,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000908marami pa rin po tayong mga vulnerable
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000909ng mga population na
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000910nag-aakala ho talaga at natatakot talaga.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000911No, kapag dumarating yung
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000912ganitong tipo, tulad ng halimbawa
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000913ng mga fake traffic violations,

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000919ba tayo mas proactive, no, sa
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000920pagsalag sa ganitong tipo
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-000921ng mga krimen. Ang ngayon naman,

asr-000938the more accurate information
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda

Rep. Brian Poe
asr-000941Mr. Aguirre, you're recognized.
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000942Thank you, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000943In relation sa
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000944DICT Digital Workforce Hub, hindi pa po
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000945siya nasisimulan, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000946We will be launching it
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000947this Wednesday.
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000948The idea for the DICT Digital Workforce Hub,
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000949Mr. Chair, is that it
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000950provides an ecosystem
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000951where those that are looking for jobs
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000952will be able to
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000953be
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000954they will be able to find
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000955these jobs more easily.
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000956What it is
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000957envisioned to look like is
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000958that the different employers
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000959will upload their detailed job descriptions
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000960on the platform.
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000961Those that are looking for jobs will upload
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000962their CVs. We will give accounts free
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000963of charge to everyone that is interested.
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000964Based on the
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000965analysis of the platform
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000966using artificial intelligence,
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000967it will point you, based on your current
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000968CV, these are the jobs
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000969that you're qualified for. If there are
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000970gaps, it will direct you
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000971to where you can avail of these
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000972trainings. You can take the trainings
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000973on the platform itself using
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000974the courseware that DICT
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000975has developed. It can also point
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000976you to external partners that
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000977have integrated their learning
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000978management systems. Then, there are
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000979micro-credentials that can be obtained
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000980from those. In this way, it will be
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000981easier for us to monitor
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000982kung sino yung mga nakakakuha
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000983ng trabaho. Kasi kahit po
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000984ngayon, marami na tayong
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000985na-train. Yung reporting po
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000986kung sino sa mga na-train
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000987yung actually nakakuha ng trabaho,
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000988medyo mahirap po kasi
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000989wala namang obligasyon doon sa part ng
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000990mga na-train na mag-report na
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000991nakakuha na sila ng trabaho. Yun po
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-000992yung gusto naming solusyunan

DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre

DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-001035hindi.
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre

DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-001037It was localized for the
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre
asr-001038Philippine situation, pero
DICT Undersecretary Leandro Angelo Y. Aguirre

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001126yung pinag-isang e-government
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001136ng kanilang sitwasyon. Dapat ho

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001142Ano ho ba ang update
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001143dito sa pinag-isang e-government ecosystem?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001144At kung pwede ho tayong ma-update,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001145halimbawa ng National Privacy
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001148ng data at information
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001149ng victims and survivors
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001150ng abuse?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001151Mr. Chair,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001152Your Honor,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001153if I can ask
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001154Undersecretary
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001155Almirol to respond,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001156Your Honor.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001157Usec Almirol, you're recognized.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001158Mr. Chair, Your Honor, so under the e-government initiative, we have another platform connected to the system called e-report.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001159So if you notice, there's a banner in the eGov that if you click e-report, "May reklamo ka ba? I-report mo na." If you click women abuse report, the report will go to the Women Commission.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001160So if you report child abuse, it will go to the Philippine Commission on Children.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001161If you report scum, it will go to CICC.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001162So we have a platform, Mr. Chair, a unified platform where people can report, but the response and data responsibility is with the respective government agency mandated for that particular scenario, Your Honor.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001163Mr. Chair.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001164Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001165Tama ho kayo, no?
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001166Nandiyan yung mga reporting channels natin, pero mismong yung tracking ng intervention, referral,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001167at magtitiyak na
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001168merong survivor services, support services para ho sa mga victim-survivors, yan pa ho yung dapat natin mapag-isa.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001169Para matiyak natin yung mabilis na pagpapaabot ng tulong at suporta sa kanila.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001170At bilang panghuli,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001171Oo. Yung huling question niyo po.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001171-split-2Yes, Mr. Chair,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001172ang Kongresong ito nagpasa ng dalawang mahalagang panukala para matugunan ang technology-facilitated gender-based violence.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001173Nandiyan ang expanded anti-violence against women and their children,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001174defining TF-VAW.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001175Nandiyan din ho ang revised anti-OSAEC at CSAEM bill.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001176At panghuli, darating na rin sa plenaryo ang Strengthened Safe Spaces bill,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001177para matugunan yung AI-generated non-consensual image-based abuse at marami pang ibang paggamit ng ICT sa gender-based violence.
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001234Sa tingin niyo ho ba ang pondo na meron tayo ngayon sa DICT? At tatanungin ko na lang, Mr. Chair, yung CICC. Sapat ho ba yung ating capacity sa ngayon at yung disenyo ng pagpapaunlad natin ng ating center para matugunan ang napakalaking challenge na ito?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001245Mr. Chair, if I may, the CICC
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda

CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-001249-split-2With the permission of the
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-001250Secretary and the Chair.
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-001251Sapat po
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-001252para gampanan namin yung mandato
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso

CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso

CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-001262So, we can still acquire
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-001263more tools. We can increase our
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-001264capacity by adding more people. At diyan
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-001265po, hinihingi na rin ho natin yung tulong ng ating
CICC Executive Director Renato A. Paraiso
asr-001266DBM para maaprubahan ho

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001274sa subscription
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001275sa mga investigation tools,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001276specialized investigation trainings,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001277at dagdag na personnel. Hindi po natin
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001278magagawa yung layunin na mapalakas
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001279ang laban sa GBV. Kung wala
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001280din po tayong pagpapalakas ng mga
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001281center na lumalaban dito. Maraming salamat,
Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago
asr-001282Mr. Chair.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001282-split-2Maraming salamat, Kong.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001283Alright. Yes.
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001284I'm sorry to interject. I just want to
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001285follow up on your question
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001286with the Secretary.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001287Yes. Short interjection. Yes.
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001288With regards to
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001289recognizance of national ID,
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001290kinasabi niyo po,
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001291Mr. Secretary, na
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001292you want to recognize only a few
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001293national issued IDs?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001294Mr. Chair, Your Honor, for the purposes
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001295of the SIM registration,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001296we think 17 is too many,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001297and if we can reduce it to 3,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001298that might limit the use of
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001299fake IDs, Your Honor.
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001300The reason why I'm concerned about
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001301it is because almost all agencies
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001302in government may issue an ID,
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001303driver's license,
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001304passport, national ID system,
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001305even senior citizens' ID meron,
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001306PhilHealth, lahat meron. And these are all
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001307valid government-issued IDs.
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001308So how will you
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001309determine which one should be
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001310respected most?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001311Mr. Chair, Your Honor,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001312lahat naman siya ngayon, nabe-verify
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001313na sa national ID. So
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001314the licenses you can verify with the national
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001315ID. Baga,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001316ang may single
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001317record of truth for your
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001318identity now will be the national ID
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001319for which it was created for, kasi.
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001320So meaning to say, if I use
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001321another ID, for example,
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001322the PNP-issued firearms license,
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001323you'll be able to recognize that?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001324The firearms license
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001325stands on its
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001326own, pero the
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001327provenance of the person's name, Juan
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001328de la Cruz age, etc., usually
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001329che-checkan niya sa national ID,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001330sa National Statistical Office.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001331And yun naman, Mr. Chair,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001332Your Honor, sasagutin lang naman ng PSA,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001333yes, no, tama ba yung data na ipinasok?
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001334Is there a way of doing that
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001335in a matter of seconds, or at least
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001336a minute?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001337Mr. Chair, Your Honor, yes. If it's
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001338digital, it's just a matter
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001339of seconds. So if you're able to do that
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001340in a few minutes time, or in a few
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001341seconds time, then there's no need to choose
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001342three national government issued IDs?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001343Mr. Chair, Your Honor, with regards to the
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-00134417 kasi na SIM registration,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001345ang isa na
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001346pinupropose namin,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001347pwedeng yung tatlo lang, or
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001348yung 17, or any ID na gagamitin mo
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001349na verify sa national ID.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001350But the problem kasi with the 17,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001351example, yung
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001352license, passport, they all
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001353have links with the
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001354national ID naman. Yung iba kasi,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001355wala silang digital
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001356links pa eh, and that's the
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001357problem, Your Honor. But tama po kayo,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001358if all the IDs right
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001359now get their provenance
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001360from the national ID, okay lang
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001361kahit maraming ID, basta
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001362na do-double check from
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001363the national ID. And that's easy to
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001364recognize and, how do you say,
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001365pwedeng yung ma-proofread
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-001366right away?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001367Mr. Chair, Your Honor, yes.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001368Siguro through QR code system, sir.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001369Basta yung agency
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001370na nag-i-issue ng ID, digital din siya,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001371tapos nakakonek siya sa PSA.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001372Pwede siya, Mr. Chair, Your Honor.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001373Yes. Alright, so thank you for
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001374that interjection. At least we were able
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001375to clarify in more detail
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001376of what we could possibly
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001377do to improve our
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001378identification system for the SIM card
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001379issue. Moving on, I would
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001380like to also thank the majority for their
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001381indulgence on the extended time
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001382earlier. The next

asr-001401Mr. Chair, Your Honor,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001402mga lima.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001403I was asking this question,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001404Sik, because I wanted
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001405to be sure lang,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001406because I found out na
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001411in terms of management.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001412So my question kasi is
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001413about your obligation
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001414and your absorptive capacity.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001415And
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001416we are happy, Sik, that your
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001417budget increases by
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-0014187%, compared
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001419to 2026.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001420Ang
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001421worry ko lang nga dito,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001422in 2025, your
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001423obligation rate is only
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-00142461.7%
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001425against your
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001426appropriations, while your
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001427disbursement is only 22%
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001428versus your
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001429obligation.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001430Among
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001431the national
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001432agencies of government, you are the lowest
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001433in terms of absorptive capacity,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001434Secretary.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001435So how can you assure us
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001436that with the increase of
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001437your budget in 2027,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001438maubos ninyo ito?
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001439Remember, Mr. Secretary,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001440that it's not about how big
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001441your budget is, but how
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001442fast you can consume your budget.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001443That is what our government needs.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001444Kasi kailangan dito
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001445disbursement para magpapapang
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001446ating economy.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001447That's a very valid question. Mr. Secretary,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001448please answer.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001449Mr. Chair, your honor, tama po kayo.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001450Isa sa mga panuntunan namin sa
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001451DICT is, it's not the
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001452size of the budget, it's the
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001453ability to comply with your
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001454BUR and in the
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001455past talaga mababa po yung
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001456BUR. Eto ngayon yung ginawa po namin,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001457Mr. Chair, your honor.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001458This year I think we are on track
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001459to do 90%
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001460for the 25—sorry,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-00146126 budget.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001462In order for us to catch up for
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001463the 27— and ayaw na
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001464namin yung naghahabul kami—we will do 25%.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001465do EPA by starting October, your honor, yun yung balak namin gawin para ma-frontload na
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001466namin yung deployment of funds for 27.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001467Remember, Secretary, that by December, mag-expire ang funding mo for 2025, so you will lose
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001468it, if you will not use it, so talagang sayang lang yung budget na binibigay natin, dadagdagan
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001469pa natin ng 7% by 2027, magpa-pile up ito sa inyo, so I hope that you can consume it
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001470as fast as you can, sayang lang din yung ating appropriations na binibigay sa inyo.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001471My next question is, in 2026 budget, by the way, Sec, in your 2026 budget, as of June,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001472your reported accomplishment or obligation is only 9%.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001473And you are the lowest among all national offices.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001474Mr. Chair, your honor, if I can pass on to Yusek Asida, who is in charge of our support
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001475and finance.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001476Yusek Asida, you're recognized.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001477Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001478Your honor, with respect to the budget utilization of the agency, based on our report, together
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001479with the report of the DBM, as of June, we were able to hit 24%.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001480My report comes from COA, Commission or DTTO, tinitingnan nila, 9% lang ang inyong obligation
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001481nung nakaraang up to June of 2027, 2026.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001482We take note of that, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001483We'll check with COA with respect to how were they able to compute the 9% as of the end
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001484of the June.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001485Please check.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001486Kasi galing ito sa kanila.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001487Disimple gear with the DBM.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001488Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001489Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001490With my colleague.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001491Now my next question is, Congress in the last 2026 budget appropriated 3.7 billion for
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001492seven projects.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-0014933.04 billion pala.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001494For ICT systems, no?
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001495This includes government systems, support center, e-government system, digital national
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001496ID, free Wi-Fi, and digital health solution.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001497Of this 3.04 billion, all of this project remains unimplemented up to date?
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001498Yes, Mr. Chair, admittedly, this 3.4 billion remains unimplemented as of this date.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001499However, Mr. Chair, this pertains to mostly or mainly to Congress-initiated amendments.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001500Now, we tried to obtain that budget late last year.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001501Unfortunately, there is a requirement as far as the DBM is concerned,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001502which is actually 85% BUR before the fund can be allocated or downloaded to the agency.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001503Unfortunately, last year, we were not able to hit that 85% BUR,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001504in which case, up to this point, we're not able to implement that particular budget.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001505But having said that, Mr. Chair, after, I think, August of this year,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001506we're able to explain to the DBM and we're able to obtain additional allocation of about 500 million
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001507and additional 700 million from that particular fund.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001508Sana no, dahil bilisan natin, dahil ah,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001509sayang itong pera na 'to ha. Nahirapan tayong maghanap ng pera, pagkatapos hindi
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001510lang natin maubos. Sayang din lang, 'di ba?
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001511Then dadagdag pa, magdadagdag pa tayo ng
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001512additional budget sa iyo ngayon. Ah,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001513magpa-pile up talaga ito nang husto. Ano,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001514that's why I'm asking before I ask the question,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001515kung ilan yung tao mo? Baka kulang kayo ng mga taong maka-support sa iyo.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001516But you have enough.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001517So sana magamit natin lahat ng talent natin. You have vast talent,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001518you can use them so that we can consume all these appropriations allotted to you.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001519I think the relevant question here, Secretary, is what exactly are the bottlenecks,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001520and is there anything that we can do in Congress to help you address it?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001521Mr. Chair,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001522that is an execution responsibility of the department.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001523We got augmentation for additional people only last July.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001524So originally, Mr. Chair, with your permission, thankfully, the DBM response...
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001525Funded to our request, originally we requested for about 500 additional Pantile positions.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001526If you'll take note, Mr. Chair, most of our personnel, we have about 1,700 JOs or SOs at the moment.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001527And as an answer to that, we requested for additional positions because the OSSP that we have actually pertains to the year 2019 and beyond.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001528In which case, it's no longer applicable to our current operations because during that time, the budget is still about 3 or 4 billion for that OSSP, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001529Thankfully, the DBM approved one-fourth of the request of the ICT.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-001530In which case, we're given about 115 additional Pantile positions.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001531So really, it's a manpower issue, no?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001532Well, I mean, if we look at our current standing, may mga tao pa rin na OIC.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001533Yung Region 1 Director natin, OIC pa rin.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001534Paano yung mga kababayan natin dun sa Region 1?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001535Anyway, that was just a side note.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001536Rep, I will give you back your time.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001537Thank you for the indulgence.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001538Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001539Free Public Internet Access Program receives 5 billion in 2026.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001540Out of this, you reported 29,091 active free Wi-Fi points in 11,836 locations nationwide.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001541However, COA identified several deficiencies in appropriate or missing signages,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001542inadequate instructions for connecting, inadequate awareness activities in operative sites in NCR and Region 5,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001543limited internet hours in Region 5, issues involving speed and reliability, delayed resolution of complaints.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001544My question is, how many sites identified by COA as inoperative or deficient, which had already been connected?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001545Mr. Chair, Your Honor, if I may ask ASEC Chris to respond for the information.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001546ASEC Chris, you're recognized.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001547I'd also like to recognize the arrival of my idol, Kong Rufus.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-001548Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-001549And good afternoon to our secretaries here, Henry, and the ICT.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-001550Thank you.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-001551Anyway, I'll speak after everybody has requested, has already spoken.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-001552Thank you.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001553Thank you, Kong.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001554ASEC, you may now proceed.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001555Thank you, Mr. Chair.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001556Mr. Chair, you're correct.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001557We have 11,836 currently locations that we're covering with the FDIC.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001558And in these locations, we spread out a number of 29,091 access points.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001559So, to monitor each access point, we have a network monitoring system in our agency that we maintain and monitor.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001560And daily, the process is if there are sites na naging offline,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001561and within 72 hours, it will...
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001562The...
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001563Kong...
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001564We will ask the provider to have it resolved or reconnected.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001565So, from time to time, Mr. Chair, we also would like to note that generally, the observation was that it was okay naman.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001566Pero we are still...
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001567There are still rooms for improvement.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001568And we are doing...
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001569Especially doon sa signages, we addressed it.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001570And right now, na ikabit na po ulit yung mga missing signages.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001571Well, and...
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001572Kinalik po natin siya with...
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001573Mas secured na, hindi na prone ulit na mawala ulit, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001574In how many percent ang inactive out of the 11,836 locations as of the moment, as of today?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-001575Mr. Chair, we will check, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001576Kong, last question na po yan.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001577Sir, baka you have one more question that you want while they're looking for the answer.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001578One last question na lang, Mr. Chairman.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001579Yes.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001580Sir, please go ahead.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001581Mr. Secretary, ano po ang performance indicator natin sa DICT?
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001582The number of sites established or the actual usage, speed reliability, or citizen satisfaction?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001583Mr. Chair, all of them, Mr. Chair.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001584Kasi what we emphasize is citizen benefit.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001585In fact, they also have statistics on how many are using it, aning gamit ang bandwidth.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001586It has to be what redounds to the benefit of the beneficiary,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001587Your Honor, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001589All right.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001590Rep, do you have any further questions?
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001591Ito lang hiningi kong numbers of operative sites.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001592While waiting for that,
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001593maybe you can submit it to us.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001594Baka we can just have it submitted directly.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001595Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001599Thank you for your patience, Rep.
Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.
asr-001600Thank you.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001601Before we move on to the next speaker,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001605I just want to point out something. I got a phone in from one of our deputy speakers who pointed out something important. We have 61 million downloads, 56 million verified accounts, and 1.2 billion transactions on eGov. But I just realized eGov is done all in-house. No, there's no contractors involved with eGov. What happens when you're no longer in position?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001606Will we be able to continue this service? Or we have a continuity problem here, if ever?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001607Yusek, you're recognized. I know you're in charge of this program.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001608Mr. Chair, thank you for that question.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001609So, yes, Mr. Chair, it's true that the e-gov super app is in-house developed, meaning we don't have contractors.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001610And, in fact, this is the reason also maybe we need help from the Congress to help us sustain this.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001611And maybe the biggest issue here is salary, if we're able to, because the salary in government is too low.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001612And I think it's now about time to come up with a solution. How could we bring the IT community and even programmers to come and join the government?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001613We don't have contractors, Mr. Chair, because in the past, we know that we don't want to be tied up with like a hostage of system or technology.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001614But since there's a new law,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001615Mr. Chair, the e-government law,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001616the e-gov law is another office under the ICT to sustain this.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001617And there's also a Magna Carta embedded to that to add salary to the IT people joining the government.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001618But, honest to goodness, Mr. Chair, it's not tantamount to the private salary because private salary is too high versus the government.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001619So, that is, Mr. Chair, our plan of sustainability.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001620So, there is a guarantee.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001621The guarantee of continuity, it's just the number of personnel and funding that it would receive.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001622But there is a guarantee that the e-gov app will be able to transition from administration to administration.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001623Yes, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001624Okay. Just wanted to get that clarity.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001625Thank you for your indulgence, Representative Tino.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001626We will now call on the next member of the minority for his interpellation.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001627Maraming salamat po.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001628Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon po sa DICT, kay Sec Aguda.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001629Unang tanong.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001630Doon sa issue ng social media registration and the national ID system, may mga concerns dito.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001631One, regarding access, sabi, national ID, nasa mga 80% daw ang nakaregister.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001632Ibig sabihin nun, may 20% tayo na wala pa.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001633Paano sila?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001634Pangalawa, of course, the privacy concerns.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001635Hindi ba?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001636May banta ito sa right to privacy ng mamamayan.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001637Yung pagtali ng kanilang social media activities sa ID.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001638And related to this, yung usapin ng surveillance na maaring maging instrumento ito ng gobyerno
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001639para tiktikan ang mamamayan at lalo pa supilin ang mga kritiko.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001640So, ano pong sagot nyo sa mga concerns nila?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001641Yan.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001642Mr. Chair, Your Honor.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001643Yung first natanong po on yung mga wala pang national ID.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001644We just had a meeting with the national statistician, Yusek Dennis Mapa.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001645And they continue to onboard as many people as they can.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001646Ang areas na they need to onboard, yung mga kabataan na, yung mga 5 years old and below.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001647And yung mga nasa area sa GIDA.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001648As well as...
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001649As well as yung mga kababayan po natin na nasa ibang bansa.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001650So, ang sabi naman nila, they are poised to complete the registration in the next 2 years.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001651Mr. Chair, Your Honor, for the 2 questions on privacy and surveillance,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001652or the assurance na hindi magagamit sa surveillance,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001653if the Chair would allow me to ask the Chair of the National Privacy Commission to respond to the 2 questions.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-001654NPC, you're recognized.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001655Good afternoon, Mr. Chair.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001656With respect to the privacy concerns as to tying up the META verification to the national ID.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001657So, we understand that there are risks to be addressed with respect to how it will be implemented by the national government.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001658So, part of the concerns that needs to be addressed, of course, is the data minimization of what information will be provided,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001659for example, to META, to operationalize the verification system through the META platform.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001660As well as...
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001661how it will interface with our
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001662national government database which includes
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001663the security features necessary
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001664to ensure that
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001665the system is not breached
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001666as well as the process by which
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001667the national government perhaps
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001668would be able to access
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001669the information with respect to
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001670the account holder, the name
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001671of the account holder with respect to the
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001672account in meta.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001673So there are certain risks need to be
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001674addressed, Mr. Chair, and that we
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001675understand this will be the product of
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001676an extensive public consultation
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001677together with the public authorities
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001678involved with respect to the national
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001679interest as well as the private
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001680stakeholders involved, not just meta
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001681but also our
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001682Filipino stakeholders with respect to their
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-001683right to privacy.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001684So ang sinasabi sa sagot ay merong mga
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001685concerns talaga dyan at pag-uusapan
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001686pa kung paano
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001688Tama ba yung tinig ko na
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001689if ever
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001690first time na mag-i-implement
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001691ang meta ng ganitong sistema?
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001692First time in the world,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001693globally.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001694Mr. Chair, Your Honor, yes,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001695per our understanding,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001696we will be the first
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001697where they will integrate Sovereign
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001698ID into their platform.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-001699Mr. Chair, Your Honor.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001700Well, and Mr. Chair, yan nga,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001701there are reasons for that.
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001702There's a reason for that. Dahil
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001703nga merong
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001705ang iba't ibang mga bansa, ay may

asr-001755the fears that a lot of
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001756stakeholders have.
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001757In a nutshell,
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001758data sovereignty
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001759is

asr-001763just to be sure.
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001764So that's the first clarification.
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001765So the DICT
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001766and the other agencies
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001767that will be involved in this
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001768will only be dealing with government data
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001769and not commercial
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001770private data.
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001771And we have had a lot
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001772of stakeholder meetings
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001773and we have committed
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001774and publicly said that
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001775this will not change.
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001776And we've also had a lot of
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001777meetings with the National Security
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001778Agencies, Congressman,

DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001783classification of the National Security Agency.
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001784So technically,
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001785the top secret classification
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001786will remain top secret
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001787and in-prem in the Philippines.

asr-001792in the hierarchy
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison

asr-001795still within the jurisdiction
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001811So may sovereignty pa rin ba doon?
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001812Mr. Chair,
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-001813Your Honorable Congressman,
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison

DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison

asr-001861Yeah, so,
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio
asr-001862please.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001863Mr. Chair,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001864if may I answer that question?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001865So,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001866part na,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001867data sovereignty
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001868is not just to
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001869store the data
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001870here in the Philippines
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001871and,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001872uh,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001873about, uh,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001874about 80%
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001875of the data
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001876is not here
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001877in the Philippines.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001878So, more likely,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001879we're, we're,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001880um,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001881subscribing
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001882foreign cloud services.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001883And this is the reason
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001884why we have this
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001885EO also,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001886Mr. Chair,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001887to make sure that the,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001888the data now
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001889is now here in the Philippines.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001890And the data sovereignty,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001891Mr. Chair,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001892is to also simplify
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001893the,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001894the,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001895the data
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001896that should not be
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001897repeated also
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001898to multiple government agencies.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001899Because right now,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001900Mr. Chair,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001901there's a lot of
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001902copy-pasting of data.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001903You know,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001904our information,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001905proportionate information.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001906And this is the reason
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001907why it's so expensive also
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001908to maintain our data
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001909because of that model.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001910So, the,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001911the data sovereignty
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001912will hit two things,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001913Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001914Number one,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001915the data should stay here
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001916in the Philippines.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001917Number two,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001918to, um,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001919remove any more
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001920duplication.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001921Not only duplication,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001922quadruplication of data
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001923so that we're able
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001924to save also,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001925uh,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-001926our resources,

asr-002306two instances
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002307of processing.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002308First is
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002309the capturing

asr-002329basis for
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002330it.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002331So, we
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002332understand
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002333that some
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002334would say
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002335the lawful

asr-002342Mr. Chair,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002343in pointing

asr-002347difference
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena

asr-002358vlog of
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002359an individual.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002360So, that
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002361might have
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002362a bearing
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002363on whether
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002364or not

NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002399So, there's
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002400also the
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-002401question whether
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena

asr-002754well,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002755several.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002756One is to
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002757institutionalize
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002758digitalization
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002759in government.

DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002781Those are the key components of the new EGOV app, Your Honor, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-002782Mr. Chair, maybe I think that the next move that we need to do is really to institutionalize the salary rate of the IT workers in their department.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002783I agree.
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-002784So we will work on that in the committee.
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-002785Thank you, Mr. Chair.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002786Mr. Chair, Your Honor, if I may add.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002787There was one key component of the EGOV app that was not included when it got passed.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002788It's the Magna Carta for IT Professionals.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002789And I would like to, with your permission, take this opportunity to appeal to Congress that it be something that can be considered as a priority
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002790because that will actually help us retain more talents in the country, especially in the area of IT professionals.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002791Mr. Chair, Your Honor.
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-002792Thank you.
Rep. Richard I. Gomez
asr-002793Mr. Chair, as part of this committee, I will also file a bill regarding the request of the Secretary.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-002794We will support and hopefully co-author on that bill.

asr-002840If I may clarify,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-002841Your Honor,

asr-0033302027?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003331Yung budget para dyan?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003331-split-2We'll provide the list, Mr. Chair,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003332noong 220 at saka yung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003333116. Tapos kunin,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003334if I may, Mr. Chair?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003335Mr. Chair, nasa
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003336tier 2 request na po namin yung balance
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003337for next year po
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003338na makakabitan pa ng mga
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003339SUCs po.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003339-split-2So, under
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003340tier 2?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003340-split-2Yes po, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003341So walaa siyang pondo?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003341-split-2Currently,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003342mukhang wala pa po,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003343Mr. Chair.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003343-split-2So, hindi natin makukover yung
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003344100% ng DepEd schools?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003345Ay, DepS
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003346SUCs. All schools.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003347Mr. Chair, yung ano po,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003348we are looking at
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003349kung we're
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003350status ko, we are looking at
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003351number one, efficiencies po, that probably
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003352yung mga savings po natin from
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003353the existing
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003354programs, pag-upon
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003355siguro po sa renewal, maybe that could be enough
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003356to cover
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003357yung balance. In addition
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003358po to that, we are also expecting
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003359some synergies that we may have
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003360with the other programs
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003361po ng connectivity, particularly
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003362po sa NBP, yung National
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003363Fiber Backbone, wherein we can
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003364start
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003365maging beneficiary
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003366na po yung balance po na schools pa.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003367Wait, but to be
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003368clear, you're saying that you will
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003369have 100% of DepEd schools.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003370It's your SUCs
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003371that are not yet 100%.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003372What percentage are you at for SUCs
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003373currently?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003373-split-2Sorry, Rep, I have to
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003374ask.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003374-split-2Mr. Chair, we'll provide.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003375So, yeah, let's
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003376move on to the next question na lang, but I
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003377expect an answer regarding that.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003378Sir? Yes, can you just please submit a
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003379list?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003380Alam po natin kung ano yung maku-cover nyo, tsaka ano yung
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003381kukulangin pa.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003381-split-2Yes, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003382Thank you. Mr. Chair, during
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003383the last COA hearing,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003384ni-raise ko po, no, I raised
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003385that EGOV reportedly
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003386went down for several hours this
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003387year because of non-payment.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003388What exactly
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003389happened?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003390Ano po ba nangyari? What was
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003391not paid? How much?
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003392To whom? And why wasn't it
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003393paid on time?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-003394Mr. Chair, if I may,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-003395I'll ask
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-003396Yusek Almirol to respond.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-003397Yusek? Ayan.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003398Mr. Chair, may I answer that
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003399question?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003400What happened was the
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003401surge of use, Mr. Chair,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003402and 1.1 and a half
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003403years, that's 700 times
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003404[unclear] increase in usage.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003405So, in terms of
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003406planning, in fact, Mr. Chair, in our report,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003407we expect to have only 30 million
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003408downloads pagdating po ng
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-0034092028. Yun po yung pangarap namin.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003410That's our goal.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003411But 61 million na po tayo.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003412It's only 2026.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003413So, we did not expect po the surge
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003414of use. That's number one, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003415And number two, we tracked down
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003416ang pinakagamit na gamit po sa EGOV
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003417option, digital national ID.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003418Kasi po, 40 million pa po yung
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003419wala pa pong physical ID.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003420Kaya nung nag-launch po ang PSA
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003421na pwede nang gumamit ng digital
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003422ID, so doon po yung pinaka
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003423surge po nung gamit, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003424And that is also part of the
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003425volume. And then when we integrated pill
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003426health, pag-ibig, GSIS,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003427e-travel, and then take note, Mr. Chair, even
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003428e-gate is now connected to e-travel,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-0034291,300
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003430government systems na po ang integrate in a
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003431single platform, Mr. Chair. So, the main
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003432reason is the surge of use. And then, Mr.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003433Chair, hindi po din napredict po yung
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003434expenditure po talaga,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003435Mr. Chair, no? So, kumbaga, doon sa
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003436planning po nung expenditure,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003437para pong dahil hindi
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003438namin napredict na ito pala yung
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003439gagastusin, nabitin po, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003440So, yung pong oras ng expiration
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003441ng mga cloud services, naabutan
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003442po yun, Mr. Chair. So, that is the main
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003443reason. But, considering the
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003444surge, did you have
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003445the money to pay for it?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003446Mr. Chair, what we
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003447did is, we come up with a short-term
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003448solution, Mr. Chair. So, what we did is,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003449meron po kaming backup, maliit na
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003450backup po for e-gov. So, what we did is,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003451we disabled the backup first, and
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003452then we made it our primary server
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003453para po magtuloy-tuloy po yung operation, Mr.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003454Chair. And then,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003455way back 2025 kasi,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003456I think, natanong po kanina, Mr. Chair, that
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003457there is a budget, actually, for e-government
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003458solutions, way back 2025.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003459Yun po yung part ng
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-0034603B po, na hindi po narilis
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003461po sa amin. The reason hindi
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003462pala narilis po yun,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003463if Yusek Herson can attest
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003464to this, hindi po narilis yun kasi
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003465hindi po nahit yung 85%
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003466BUR po ng
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003467DICT. So, yun po yung isang
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003468dahilan. Nadawit din po
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003469yung, kasi part kami ng holistic budget
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003470po ng DICT, nasama
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003471po yung budget po ng EGOB po
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003472na hindi narilis po way back 2025,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003473Mr. Chair. Kaya yun po yung naging
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003474issue po. Karamihan po ng
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003475pondo, let's say,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003476saan po nang gagaling yung pondo na
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003477pambayad nyo? Does it
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003478come from the SUF?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003479Hindi pa, Mr. Chair. So,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003480that's coming from GAA.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003481But because of the new law now
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003482that was only signed last year, and the
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003483IRR was signed only like
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-0034846 months ago, for the
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003485first time po, Mr. Chair, pwede na po kaming
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003486mag-request ng budget from SUF
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003487because of the new law. Bago lang po ito, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003488So, ano pong
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003489kailangan gawin ng
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003490DICT para hindi po mangyari uli yan?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003491So, part of
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003492the sustainability, Mr. Chair,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003493nakatulong po ang DBM. In fact,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003494we discussed this, then they helped us.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003495Narilis na po yung, for the
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003496first time, meron na pong budget
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003497yung Digital National ID. Kasi
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003498dati po, talaga pong wala pong budget yun.

Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003599Mr. Chair, I support
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003600a strong DICT budget
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003601and the use of funds earmarked
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003602for digitalization. But we
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003603need to make sure that public funds
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003604are converted into reliable services.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003605That available funds are
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003606implemented, obligations are paid
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003607on time, government is not paying
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003608for ICT capacity,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003609it does not actually use, and
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003610essential digital services do not
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003611go down because somebody was not paid.
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003612So, with RA
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-00361312254 now in place,
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003614DICT has an opportunity to reduce
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003615duplication, lower recurring

asr-003616costs, strengthen local
Rep. Roberto Nazal
asr-003617data infrastructure, and make government

asr-003777If I understand it correctly, Your Honor, who bears the cause of the call?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-003778Yun yung tanong na.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003779Yes, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003780Mr. Secretary.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003781Kasi, Mr. Chair, pag hindi nakikita yung location ng caller, nahihirapan yung responding team sakaling may tatawag.
NTC Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard N. Blanco
asr-003782May I respond, Mr. Chair?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003783Yes, please.
NTC Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard N. Blanco
asr-003785For information provided, Mr. Chair,
NTC Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard N. Blanco
asr-003786it is actually the DILG that will shoulder the cost for this one, Mr. Chair.
NTC Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard N. Blanco
asr-003787DILG po.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003788Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003789Other question, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003790Doon sa Konektadong Pinoy, mula nang ipinatupad ang Konektadong Pinoy Law, ilan na bang mga data transmission participants ang nag-apply at nagparehistro?
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003791Ilan sa kanila ang operating na? Meron ba from Soxergen Area, Region 12, na nag-operate na? Or kung meron, ilan?
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003792Mr. Chair?
NTC Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard N. Blanco
asr-003793Mr. Chair, if I may respond? Thank you.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003794Yes, please. Go ahead.
NTC Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard N. Blanco
asr-003795Since the implementation of the KP Law, marami na pong... We have issued several registrations, but mostly ang...
NTC Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard N. Blanco
asr-003796These are reclassification po. These are the existing VAS operators that have been reclassified.
NTC Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard N. Blanco
asr-003799To DTIP. Now, as to the query on...
NTC Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard N. Blanco
asr-003800For sa new, Mr. Chair, we have issued 46 new DTIPs for new registrants.
NTC Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard N. Blanco
asr-003801And then...
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003802Okay.
NTC Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard N. Blanco
asr-003802-split-2And ang remaining po for transitioning of existing VAS is we still have to transition about 1,300 entities, Mr. Chair, pero ongoing po naman lahat to.
NTC Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard N. Blanco
asr-003804And we have transitioned already, as I mentioned earlier, ang mga more than 600 na, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003805Okay. Mr. Chair, can we request that list?
NTC Deputy Commissioner Alvin Bernard N. Blanco
asr-003806For Soxergen, per initial information, wala po po. But we will be checking again, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003807Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003808Last question, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003809Doon sa...
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003810Doon sa...
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003811[unclear] billion pesos na National Broadband Program para sa 2027, magkano dito ang para sa SOCCSKSARGEN, especially GenSan?
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003812Thank you.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-003813Mr. Chair, Your Honor, if I can ask Asik Pinky to be recognized in order for her to provide the answer.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003814Yes, Asik, you're recognized.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-003815Thank you.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003816Thank you.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003817Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and Congressman.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003818We'll try to work on that one, Congressman.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003819As of now, we're still moving on building the National Fiber Backbone.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003820The Soxergen is part of Phase 5.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003821Magkano po, Mr. Chair?
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003822Kung there is a project named PDIP Project, it's a World Bank project,
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003823and that will fully work around the Phase 4 and 5, which covers Soxergen po.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003824Kailan yan, ma'am?
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003825This will be implemented in 2027.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-0038262027.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003827So, Mr. Chair, maliban...
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003828Kasi doon sa...
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003829Maliban doon sa...
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003830Kasi doon sa PDIP na sinasabi ninyo, doon sa unang loan na 16 billion, hindi kasama ang Soxergen.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003831Sa second proposed loan naman,
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003832which is 16 billion again,
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003833sa PDIP pa rin,
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003834wala pa rin si Jensen.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003835Hopefully, ma-include si Jensen para sa program na yan.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003836Kung na-include man, magkano?
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003837Mr. Chair?
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003838400 million.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003839400?
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003840When will that be?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003841Sir, that's your last question.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003842One last follow-up, Mr. Chair.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003843Yes, it is in cluster two po, ng loan.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003844It will be 400 million po.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003845It will be implemented on August 2027.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003846Wow, thank you naman.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003847Kasama na pala kami sa Jensen.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003848Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003849Just one follow-up, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003850Doon sa GovNet, Coronadal City sa Soxergen, meron na.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003851Kailan ang Jensen, Tacurong, Kidapawan, and other cities sa Soxergen?
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003852Soxergen?
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003853RD Tony.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003854General po kasi ito.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003855I'll just work on to the data.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003856Allow me, please.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003857Mr. Chair, we'll just request the list kung meron man.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003858Yes, please submit it.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003859But please actually submit the list.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003860I think I'm still with Chris.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003861Is the list ready?
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003862I requested that.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003863Yes, we were expecting that.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003864Can I have it?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-003865Yes, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003866Thank you.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003867If I can, Mr. Chair,
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003868I could give the whole list for the full Philippines for the NBP.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003869It's on my topic.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003870Okay, perfect.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003871If you could please share it.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003872Thank you.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-003873Thank you.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003874All right.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003875Okay.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003876Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003877This representation like to manifest that we support for the proposed budget of the ICT for 2027.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003878All right.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003879Thank you.
Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos
asr-003880Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003881Thank you.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003882Thank you, Representative.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003883And thank you, the ICT.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003884With that being said,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003885I will now call on the very patient and understanding representative of the minority, Representative Presley De Jesus.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003886It is your time.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003887Thank you.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003888Your show, your time.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003889Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003890And of course, to our DICT family.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003891I remember vividly last year's budget.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003892And you, Mr. Chair, you're the one who defended their budget.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003893Diba, Mr. Chair?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003894Ikaw yun eh.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003895And the first question I asked them,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003896how secured yung data center natin?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003897Remember, I think, no less than Secretary, when I asked during plenary budget, the hearing,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003898sabi nyo, parang sa Florida ba?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003899The storage of our data center?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003900Is it out of the country?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003901Tama ba yun?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003902Yung data center natin, the storage?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-003903Mr. Chair, Your Honor,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-003904depends po.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-003905Anyway, we also have data centers that are on-prem kasama yung storage.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-003906When we're talking about the EGOV app, maybe, and a lot of the cloud storage, some of them are in Singapore and in the US naman.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-003907So merong halo na sa Pilipinas, pero mas marami po na nasa labas ng Pilipinas.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003908I think last time, you even said that you're going to build our own storage or data facilities.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003909Here in the Philippines.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003910Ongoing na ba yun?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-003911Mr. Chair, Your Honor, if I can ask Yusek Almirol to respond for a more accurate answer.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003912Mr. Chair, so we built the first DICT data center in Subic.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003913So to contain only, maliit lang yun, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003914It could only contain around 60 racks.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003915So that's enough to use it as our archiving muna, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003916So you said 60? 60 lang yun?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-00391760 racks lang, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-0039186 racks. Okay.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003919So how many facilities ang kailangan natin?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003920Especially the Pax Silicae, nandun na rin.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003921So I think we need more than that.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003922Mr. Chair, according to our study, because since we have the new EO for the EO 119,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003923the data localization as well is also being supported there.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003924And also to simplify our...
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003925Yun, nakwento ko.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003926Okay na yung copy-pasting of data, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003927Imagine yung gastos.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003928Approximately, Mr. Chair...
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003929Sandali lang.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003930Mr. Chair, bakit yung oras ko umaanda?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003931Hindi naman ako nagsasalita.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-003932Sorry, please. Go ahead.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003933Okay, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003934So if we're going to complete that, we have a study, Mr. Chair, we can submit to you.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003935At least around...
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003936Kailangan natin, Mr. Chair, around 20 billion to really build our data sovereignty data center.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003937Na pagmamayari po ng government.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003938Going to take a look at the savings na makukuha natin,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003939approximately, ROI natin, Mr. Chair, around 4 to 5 years then.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003940So if we're going to localize it.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003941Kaya mas mura ang gastos, Mr. Chair, sana kung mas magandang atin yung ating mga data center
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003942instead of using foreign cloud services, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003943Right now, Mr. Chair, how much you pay for your foreign cloud services?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003944Doon sa ISSP, since we are the one chairing the MITHI together with DBM,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003945and DEP-DEB, ang total request po of cloud subscription, Mr. Chair, is medyo malaki.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003946Umaabot po yun na mahigit 30 to 40 billion po ang request.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003947Hindi po nabibigay lahat yun, pero, Mr. Chair, ganito po kalaki yung hinihiling
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003948ng mga government agency po na dumadaan po sa ating ISSP.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003949ISSP kasi, Mr. Chair, we are the one receiving the request of ICT plans
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003950na kailangan po ng mga government agency.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003951So ganon po kalaki.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003952Okay.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003953The reason kung bakit bloated ang kakailanganin, kasi paulit-ulit yung data.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003954We are allowing that to be bloated.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003955But if we're able to come up with a unified data management na atin na, Mr. Chair,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003956around estimation po namin, kasi we're conducting a feasibility study together with DBM,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003957the savings will be around 50 to 60% savings, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003958So, in short, even though we built our own storage data center,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003959kailangan pa rin natin mag-subscribe sa cloud.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003960During the migration process, Mr. Chair, hindi man biglaan, but as we build our own,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003961we do the migration little by little, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003962And in the future, hopefully, if we already have our data sovereignty data centers,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003963we're able to move the majority of our data here, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003964Yeah, because I'm very serious about the hackers.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003965So how safe are our storage data centers?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003966How safe?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003967Ating mga documents, as far as the hacker is concerned.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003968Remember, DICT, you're holding the most sensitive information.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-003969Kasi kayo ang pinaka-banko ng ating mga gobyerno.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003970If may I answer that, Mr. Chair, at least I can speak on behalf of EGOB.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003971What we do, Mr. Chair, is we, yes, we have a double-layered encryption model.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003972That's why we don't have, we're confident that there will be no hackers.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003973at least EGOB, but since
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003974the data are scattered
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003975all over government agency,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003976copy-pasting of our information, our
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003977names, our pictures, and everything.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003978So I think, Mr. Chair,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003979hindi namin ma-assure
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003980as we speak sa other government
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003981agency. What we can do is we're educating
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003982them, Mr. Chair, how to
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003983protect their data.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003984But not unless,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003985not unless, Mr. Chair, we're able to come up with
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003986this new model to create
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003987a single source of truth model
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003988Example, Mr. Chair, if may I elaborate a bit,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003989we have 92 million digital national
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003990IDs. 92 million.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003991We already have the first name, last name,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003992middle name, picture, biometrics,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003993and then EGOB, we have the 48
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003994million e-signature already.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003995So why we need again to repeat again the capturing
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003996of the data all throughout different
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003997government agencies. If we're able to
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003998utilize our national ID, we're able
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-003999to cut the duplication
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004000and repetition of multiple data
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004001already, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004001-split-2So you're telling
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004002me,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004003as far as the other government
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004004agencies or departments,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004005hindi kayo ang may
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004006control. You're supposed to be,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004007kasi kayo ang DICT, so
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004008ang control lang yun as far as
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004009DICT. But the other government
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004010agencies, as while you
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004011said a while ago na
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004012kailangan may parang truth model
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004013na kayo dapat ang hawak.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004014Ganun ba?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004015May I elaborate, Mr. Chair?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004016So the DICT will create
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004017a unification platform. Meron na po kami
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004018tinatawag na EGOB DX. Ito po yung
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004019data exchange platform. That's why
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004020if you go to EGOB, Mr. Chair, around
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-0040211,300 government systems
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004022are now integrated in a single platform.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004023Pero ang data, Mr. Chair, wala
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004024sa amin. Wala sa amin ang data.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004025Example, if you click national ID, the data
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004026is not with us. It's with PSA.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004027If you click Pill Health, the data is not with us.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004028It's with Pill Health. But, Mr. Chair,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004029the data entry should
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004030not be repeated again by government
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004031agency. That alone, Mr. Chair, is already a
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004032savings for us.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004033I keep on mentioning EGOB, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004034So, yung pag-EGOB na yan,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004035pag ginawa mo yan, it's electronic
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004036yan, di ba? Electronic, it's online.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004037Sino may hawak ng source code?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004038It's government, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004039So the DICT right now. So when you say
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004040government, who in the government?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004041The government office,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004042Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004042-split-2Under what department?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004043Under DICT po.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004043-split-2So, you handle it?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004044Yes, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004044-split-2So, when you say
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004045dapat sagot mo agad, we handle it.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004046Kasi it's the government.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004047It's napakalaki eh. So,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004048kung kayo may hawak
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004049DICT under your leadership,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004050under your department, or your
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004051agency, so paano
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004052source code natin? How can we make
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004053sure na hindi talaga mahack tayo?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004054Kasi yung mga hackers yun,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004055they're always not one step ahead,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004056two step ahead sa atin yan.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004057So, you being the leader, or you
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004058being the one
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004059who handles the
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004060EGOB, so
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004061how can we assure na,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004062hindi talaga, kaya yun ito, mga
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004063risk of sabotage.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004064You know, pwede tayong masabotaje dito eh.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004065So, especially ang
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004066Banko Central, who handles everything? So,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004067if you have the source code, so paano
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004068nyo mamaintain? How can I assure
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004069this committee na talagang
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004070it's hack-free tayo?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004071May answer, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004072The data,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004073Mr. Chair, the source code is with us.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004074With my team.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004075The source code.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004076But the data, Mr. Chair, is not
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004077with us. So, I mentioned a while ago
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004078the system called EGOBDX.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004079Data stays
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004080decentralized to government agencies.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004081So, we're not the one maintaining yung data
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004082ng national ID, pill health, pag-ibig. Wala po
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004083sa amin, Mr. Chair. So, it's their duty to
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004084protect it. We don't have access to that.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004085So, in short, wala tayong isang
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004086hub lang. Wala po, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004087So, every department or every agency
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004088meron sila?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004088-split-2Meron, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004089So, how do you propose na para lang
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004090isa lang ang, ano, kumbaga
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004091magka problema, alam ka agad na
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004092atin? Kasi, yan, they can be hacked
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004093through EGOBDX, eh. No?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004094Kasi, right now, when I search EGOBDX,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004095may mga lumalabas na may
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004096conflict interest. Hindi ko nga alam
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004097bakit lumalabas mga ito. So,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004098pag ganito mangyayari na ito, ano
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004099mangyayari sa source code natin?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004100So, kanya-kanya pa rin.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004101Yes, Mr. Chair. We encourage that because
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004102the data should not be managed huli
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004103by the DICT EGOBDX, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004104It should be managed still by government
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004105agency. The one that we're proposing,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004106Mr. Chair, is not to duplicate any
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004107more data that is already captured
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004108by government agency. That's the reason
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004109why ang hirap pong protektahan po
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004110dahil inaalaw natin yung copy-pasting
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004111at paulit-ulit na information.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004112Like the national ID, Mr. Chair, PSA
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004113has it already. They already have 92 million
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004114national IDs there connected to
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004115our e-verify platform. So, meaning
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004116the data capturing should not be repeated again
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004117by government agency. Integration na lang po
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004118dapat yan, Mr. Chair. So, in short,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004119Mr. Chair, pag nangyayari yan, kanya-kanya,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004120each department
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004121or agency ba, you
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004122guys train it, tinitrain nyo ba
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004123sila to handle their own or they
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004124have their own
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004125or call this, mga
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004126IT guys nila? O
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004127kayo rin ba dumadaan sa inyo o hindi?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004128There's another office,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004129Mr. Chair, the Cyber Security Bureau.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004130They're the one handling the training and
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004131assistance to
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-004132other government agency, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004133Mr. Chair, I think we have to
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004134seriously look to it, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004135Kasi kinakabahan ako talaga.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004136Especially, pag
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004137ating gobyerno, they always
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004138have a bidding na hindi natin
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004139alam kung nung fly-by-night
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004140ba ito o hindi. So, kailangan talaga
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004141tingnan natin mabuti. But when it comes to
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004142the budget, I'm for it, no?
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004143I support Secretary Aguda,
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004144pero kailangan natin
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004145seryosohin tong
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004146source code, especially
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004147itong mga hackers na
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004148darating araw, bigla na lang tayong bubulagay
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004149na talagang
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus
asr-004150we're done. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004191Mr. Chair,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004192your honor,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004193so tama po yung stats
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004194na nabigay nyo.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004195So,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004196ang kagandahan naman po, and
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004197this is credit to Congress and
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004198the Senate, when you passed po the
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004199Konektadong Pinoy,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004200nag-double time
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004201yung mga telco,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004202and nag-invest sila
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004203na malaki sa connectivity.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004204Hindi lang sila nag-invest sa additional
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004205connectivity,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004206pinababa pa nila yung presyo.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004207Ang sukatan ko po dyan, kahit anong
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004208statistika gamitin natin, ang tinitignan
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004209ko kasi yung prepaid po eh.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004210Yung postpaid kasi, mahirap
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004211atin nyo ang cost per
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004212MBPS. Kasi pag
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004213naging postpaid subscriber kayo,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004214may kasamang device, may kasamang
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004215additional services, may content.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004216So, strip that one out.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004217Tinitignan po namin yung nagpre-prepaid.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004218Yung prepaid ngayon, pagka yung
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004219nagra-grab taxi o kaya nagde-deliver,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004220yung dating gumagaso
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004221siya na 100 plus, ngayon 99 pesos
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004222per week na lang. Nakakabili
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004223na sila ng daluan telepono.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004224Ang
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004225kagandahan din, in the
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004226region, nag
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004227double time din yung mga telco
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004228na mag-launch ng fiber
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004229services. And ang kagandahan,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004230Mr. Chair, your honor, meron na rin
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004231yung prepaid fiber. So,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004232pag tinignan nyo yung presyo
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004233ng connectivity,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004234medyo mga
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004235bumaba na rin by about 17%
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004236across the board. Kasi
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004237prepaid. So, it's the mode of
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004238how you transact. Kapag
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004239postpaid ka, mas mahal. Pero
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004240kung gusto mo talaga makatipid, pwede
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004241ka mag-prepaid. Tanggal na doon yung mga
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004242other non-bandwidth
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004243related services.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004244Ang Pilipinas naman po is 90%
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004245prepaid naman. Now, yung
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004246report namin sa
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-0042472027, if the chairman would
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004248allow and your honor, will submit the
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004249detailed list para mas
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004250klaro and more comprehensive.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda

asr-004309My next point is on
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004310cyber security, which
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004311is very timely, kasi 18
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004312hours ago po, we had
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004313like an incident sa
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004314Department of Labor
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004315on the client portal.
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004316It was supposedly
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004317hacked. So,
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004318after 19 government
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004319websites were reportedly compromised
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004320since September 2025,
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004321and EGOP-PH experienced
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004322a two-day disruption
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004323in April 2026,
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004324what measurable protection will Congress
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004325receive from the 1.094
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004326billion cyber security program?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004327Mr. Chair,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004328your honor,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004329medyo nga yung usapan ng
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004330cyber security, medyo
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004331nagiging
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004332urgent.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004333Kasi, recently,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004334not just in the Philippines, but in
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004335the U.S., you've seen maraming
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004336na-atake na U.S. cities.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004337It's about seven states
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004338and several cities were hacked,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004339verified, their water
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004340system were compromised.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004341And last
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004342month, we've noticed several
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004343attacks also on
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004344several agencies.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004345Anywhere from, usually, ang mga atake,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004346ano eh, defacement. So,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004347defacement is easy, pero
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004348recently, there was the Marina
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004349situation where it was a ransomware
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004350na-decrypt yung data.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004351And lately, we're working on,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004352I won't disclose, but we have three or
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004353four agencies that were proactively
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004354monitoring.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004355The programs of
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004356the government alone won't be able to
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004357protect us. So, kasama po doon
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004358sa budget na hinihingi namin, is
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004359the development of a cyber security industry
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004360in the Philippines. Right
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004361now, as we speak, there are
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004362around
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-00436343, saan si Rodil?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-00436443 DTAPs.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004365So, what we've done is, we've certified
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004366private sector cyber
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004367security providers.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-00436843 DTAPs. In the past,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004369DICT po ang nag-aano,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004370nag-VAPT ng mga agencies.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004371And ang pila is six months
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004372to nine months before you can get on our queue.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004373And we can only,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004374we do an output of a few hundred.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004375Now, combined with the private sector,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004376mga 3,000 to 4,000
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004377na yung VVAPT.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004378Now, importante yung VVAPT,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004379vulnerability
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004380assessment
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004381and penetration testing, importante
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004382siya as a hygiene.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004383In cyber security, prevention
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004384is still better than
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004385addressing the issue. So, dumadami
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004386na po yan. And right now, we're
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004387registering all
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004388cyber security professionals.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004389We started the program last week
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004390and meron na po tayong 400.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004391Pag sinabi natin registered siya,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004392bibigyan natin sila ng
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004393certification kung
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004394beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004395And ang kagandahan po sa mga kababayan natin,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004396pag na-certify kayo,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004397you can carry that certification to other
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004398countries also.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004399Nabanggit nyo yung
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004400budget namin,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004401it's enough
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004402in order for us to protect the agencies
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004403that we're currently protecting, but it's not
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004404going to be enough to protect the whole
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004405country. Kasi kailangan maprotektahan din
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004406namin yung critical infrastructure.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004407Power, banking, and most of these are in
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004408the private sector. So, ang
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004409sukatan po siguro sa amin is
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004410we need to register 100,000
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004411cyber security professionals.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004412That's our target
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004413for next year.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004414This year, since sinimulan namin yung programa,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004415baka makakakuha lang kami ng 5 to 10,000.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004416We need mga 100 VAPT certified providers and we need to establish 3 private labs for cyber security protection
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004417Again, ang kailangan is preventive rather than reactive so that's what we're doing for cyber hygiene
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004418Your Honor, Mr. Chair
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004419Mr. Chair, balik lang po ako doon ulit sa DOLE na client portal
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004420So since 18 hours na nga po yung nakalipas
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004421Kasi ito pong portal na ito, ginagamit ng mga kumpanya ito applying for permits and certifications
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004422Submitting regulatory requirements
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004423And yung mga kababayan natin nagpa-find ng labor related requests
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004424Ano po ba yung status na nito? Have you guys, has the ICT resolved this?
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004425O hindi pa po naayos po ata
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004426Mr. Chair, Your Honor, if I can pass it on to Director Rodil
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004427Who is in the
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004428Middle of the discussion and maybe can be supported by CICC also
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004429Kasi as soon as it gets hacked, it becomes a crime na eh
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004430So, Mr. Chair
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-004431Director Rodil, you're recognized
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004432Thank you, Mr. Chair
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004433Your Honor
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004434With regards to the DOLE po is
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004435It was reported to us last night
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004436Merong defacement doon sa isang
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004437We called it a subdomain
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004438But it's not under the control of the DICT
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004439We tried, I tried to coordinate with the government online services to take down
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004440It so happened that hindi rin po nila matake down kagabi
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004441But this morning, since pumasok na yung tao from DOLE
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004442Natake down na po nila yung domain
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004443domain na hack.
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004444And yung team po
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004445ng insert are now currently
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004446with
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004447Dole to
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004448coordinate po. Aside from that,
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004449nauna din po yung
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004450Department of Migrant
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004451Worker. Ongoing din po
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004452yung isang team doon. Kasama po
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004453namin yung CICC. To
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004454help investigate, identify
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004455kung meron po bang
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004456na-exfiltrate
DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban
asr-004457na data. Thank you.
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004458Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004459That's at least good to hear from the
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004460DICT. My next question
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004461is sa National Privacy Commission.
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004462Your total spending program
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004463increases from
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004464440 million in 2026
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004465to 505 million
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004466in 2027. About
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-00446714.7% increase.
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004468Yet your NEP records
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-0044692025 actual
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004470performance of 1,445
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004471compliance checks,
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-00447297% client satisfaction,
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-00447395% timely technical assistance,
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004474and 100% resolution
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004475of complaints and investigations.
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004476Your 2027 targets
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004477fall to 600 checks,
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-00447885% satisfaction,
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-00447985% timely assistance,
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004480and only 80% resolution.
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004481Are you asking
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004482Congress for more money while promising
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004483less?
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004484So to answer the question,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004485we're actually not promising less.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004486Based on the NEP targets from 2026
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004487and 2027, it's actually
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004488the same. But with respect to the
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004489increase in budget for 2027,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004490the output targets for that
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004491is actually different from what is reflected
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004492in the NEP. So particularly, one
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004493aspect would be the enhancement
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004494of our e-sprint program.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004495So one of the functions of the NPC
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004496is to investigate breaches
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004497and currently we monitor, for example,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-00449820 websites. And with the
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004499additional budget provided
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004500in the 2027 NEP, we can further
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004501increase that to 50 websites
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004502that we can monitor because part
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004503of our functions, of course, is
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004504the personal information controllers
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004505would report breaches, but we also
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004506take initiative in finding out whether
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004507there are certain breaches that are not yet reported
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004508to us. So in the example, for example,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004509of Dole, our current
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004510e-sprint program was able to
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004511detect the breach through the monitoring
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004512of one of the 20 websites, and
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004513we intend to further expand
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004514the coverage of websites with the 2027
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004515NEP. Another component
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004516in the increase in the 2027 NEP
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004517is enhancing our registration
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004518platform. So part of our
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004519targets under the
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004520NPC and part of our
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004521commitment actually to the DICT
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004522is to increase the number of registered
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004523personal information controllers.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004524And part of the budget
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004525will fund the capacity of our system
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004526to actually process
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004527registration, not only in the expanded
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004528capacity in the number of
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004529registrants that can be accommodated at the same
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004530time, but also the length of
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004531time it takes for us to actually
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004532get back to the registration.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004533So currently, it takes us around seven
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004534days to do the
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004535validation manually for
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004536our registration program, but with the increased
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004537budget, we intend to
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004538decrease the turnaround time to three days,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004539in most cases, one day if possible
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004540through automated validation and verification
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004541of registration. Currently,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004542we have 17,000
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004543registered personal information controllers,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004544but from our information,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004545for example, there are around 700,000
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004546registered companies
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004547in the SEC alone. So we
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004548know that there is a great disparity in the
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004549universe of registered personal information
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004550controllers and the
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004551ones registered in the NPC, and we intend
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004552to exponentially increase
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004553the registered personal information controllers.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004554That's why we're asking for additional budget for
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004555next year.
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004556Why did NPC leave
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-00455783 million unused in
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-0045582025?
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004559A large part of the
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-00456083 million, Mr. Chair, is actually budget
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004561for our capital outlay
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004562that was released by the DBA
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004563late in 2025,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004564and we were only able
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004565to proceed with that particular
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004566project upon obtaining a long-term
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004567lease with our current space.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004568So as a background, Mr. Chair,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004569the NPC suddenly transferred
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004570to our current space in Quezon City
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004571only in March 2025,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004572and that was procured through emergency mode of
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004573procurement. So our current space
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004574now, moving forward in the next five
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004575years, was procured through competitive selection,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004576competitive bidding. It was only
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004577after such competitive bidding that we were
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004578able to proceed with fit-out around
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-00457937 million of the
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-00458083 million, that component.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004581But upon checking with our provider,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004582unfortunately, the
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004583contractor backed out of
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004584the contract. That's why it remains unutilized
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004585up until now.

asr-004586Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004587My last question
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004588is, PAOCC reported
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-00458947,446
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004590complaints involving
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004591online lending firms from August
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-0045922024 to January 2026.
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004593How many reached NPC
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004594and what concrete enforcement
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004595followed?
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004596So with respect to online lending,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004597one of the initiatives actually that we
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004598rolled out earlier this year
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004599is to jointly issue a public advisory
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004600together with the SEC and the
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004601DICT, reminding
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004602potential lenders of their rights
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004603as data subjects with respect to online
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004604lending and reminding the online platforms
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004605on their obligations with
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004606respect to the use of personal
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004607data of their
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004608borrowers, particularly accessing
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004609contact lists. So with respect
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004610to the actual cases filed with
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004611the NPC with respect to online lending
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004612platforms, in the past three
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004613years, it has tapered down in comparison
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004614to the height of the
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004615online lending platforms scams around during
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004616the pandemic period. But we can provide
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004617Mr. Chair the specific numbers of
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-004618cases on online lending platforms from
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-0046192024 to 2026.
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004628for the DICT.
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004629Today, internet access is no longer
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004630a luxury. It is a modern equalizer
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004631for a student in a
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004632far-flung barangay, farmer
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004633checking market prices, or
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004634senior citizens seeking government assistance.
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004635Connectivity means
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004636opportunity. E-government should
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004637make public service faster,
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004638and eliminate fixers while
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004639cybersecurity must protect, not expose
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos
asr-004640the citizen. Kaya supportado natin

asr-004644Active connections, affordable service,
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004674Magandang hapon po, Secretary Guda
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004675sa ating lahat. May ilang
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004676katanungan lamang po ang kababaihan
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004677kabalikatan para sa kapakanat
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004678kaunlaran ng bayan or 4K
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004679party list regarding po sa
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004680COA audit observations.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004681Particular na po dyan, I am
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004682just concerned, while I support
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004683DICT, pero
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004684sabi nga po ng ating
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004685mga kasamahan, yung
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004686support sa budget, mayroong kailangan
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004687tayong ine-expect, nakapalit.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004688I am just surprised
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004689dahil, sa totoo lang po,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004690I'm surprised that you got
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004691additional funding. Kung
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004692ang pagbabasihan po yung historical
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004693utilization rate ninyo po
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004694na masyadong mababa, and
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004695some, you know, kakaunti daw po
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004696ang fiscal space, nag-aagawan sa
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004697pondo. So, those funds could have
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004698gone to other agencies na mas
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004699nangangailangan po. So,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004700ang pinakamataas
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004701po ninyong naabot yata is
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004702for 2024, 87%.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004703At bumaba na naman po
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004704yan. We had high hopes na pataas
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004705na yun, bumagsak na naman po.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004706And, nabanggit po kanina
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004707ng aking kasamahan,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004708na for the first semester of
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-0047092026, at 9%
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004710po ang utilization rate.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004711Kinontra po ninyo, sinabi ninyo
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004712po mga around 20.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004713Even for the sake of argument
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004714po, 20 yun. We already
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004715nasa kaglagitnaan na po tayo
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004716ng taon at 20% pa rin
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004717ng utilization rate. So, what do we
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004718expect at the end of the year?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004719So, gusto ko lamang pong maanawaan
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004720historically, ganito po ang performance
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004721ng agency. Ano po ba ang problema
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004722natin, Mr. Secretary?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004723Mr. Chair,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004724your honor. So, clarify po
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004725natin yung, ano, tama yung
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004726tama yung nabanggit nyo po
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004727nasa 87, nung
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-00472884, at 24.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004729Tapos yung 25 po, may
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004730isang malaking project. It's a denominator
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004731problem eh. May isang
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004732malaking project na pumasok
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004733sa dulo po ng
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004734taon. That was
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004735the World Bank funded
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004736project. Ang laki po nun.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004737So, in-appeal po namin
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004738kay DBM yun. Yun yung sinasabi
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004739namin na hindi nga kami nag-qualify
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004740ng 85%. Pero pag
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004741tinanggal nyo po yung World Bank
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004742project na yun, na kine, or
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004743kine-re-over this year,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004744dapat umabot tayo ng mga
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004745...
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-00474680. Dapat umabot kami
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004747ng 80. This year
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004748naman, hinabol
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004749namin yung malaking amount
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004750na yun for 2026.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004751So, inuna po muna namin, Mr.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004752Chair, your honor, yung mga
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004753hindi namin natapos ng 25.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004754Now, yun sa COA, we'll
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004755need to check po yung
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004756number, because our numbers are
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-00475724. And tama po kayo,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004758kalahati na ng taon,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004759dapat na sa mga adjusted na kami
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004760to about 50-60.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004761Pero ang usual procurement cycle naman
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004762ng DICT, nakita ko rin
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004763last year, bulk of it happens
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004764in the 3rd and 4th quarter talaga.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004765Kasi, susuyurin mo muna
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004766yung last year,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004767tapos papasok ngayon dito this year.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004768Ang ginagawa po namin ngayon,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004769para hindi maulit yan sa 27,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004770mag-a-advance procurement kami,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004771which is allowed naman.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004772So, starting October.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004773So, we're very particular
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004774with the UR, and tama po kayo,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004775masikip na yung fiscal space.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004776The last thing we want is to
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004777grab budget na hindi naman namin
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004778magagamit, na could have been used by
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004779other agencies more effectively po.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004780Mr. Chair, your honor.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004781Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Isa po yun
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004782sa concern ko. Yung binabanggit nyo po ba,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004783yung Philippine Digital Infrastructure Project?
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004784Tama po. Ano na po
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004785ang status niyan ngayon?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004786Mr.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004787Chair, your honor, maybe I could pass it on to
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004788Asek Pinky, and
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004789pwede niyang ikwento kung bakit
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004790matagal ang procurement doon sa project na yun,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004791na first time na minat.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004792Secretary, right? It's a loan from World Bank.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004793So, may we have a status report on that, please.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004794Mabuhay, Mr. Chair.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004795Allow me to answer the question of
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004796Madam.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004797Madam, yes,
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004798really, we're so happy to have this loan.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-004799Sorry, Asek, you're recognized.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004800Thank you, Mr. Chair.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004801So, we're happy to have this loan.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004802Because this will cover the whole Visayas
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004803and Mindanao that is missing link
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004804in the National Fiber Backbond.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004805Unfortunately, we were shocked
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004806because we are, it's our first
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004807time having the World Bank ruling.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004808So, may mga ruling pala ang World Bank
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004809na kakaiba sa Philippine ruling.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004810So, doon po na
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004811karoon ng mismatch at we're now
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004812trying to cover it.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004813At aminado po kami na we're still
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004814working on that one because
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004815a majority of the World Bank ruling po is talaga
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004816international ang kanyang engagement.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004817So, matching that one to the
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004818our
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004819possible bidders in the local
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004820ground, medyo nahirapan po
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004821din tayo. So,
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004822we admit that we have two
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004823failure of biddings because
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004824of course, it's a very
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004825gigantus amount.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004826It really covers, it will be
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004827a very, very good outcome because it
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004828really covers the Visayas-Mindanao
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004829which is named as phase
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-0048304 and 5 of the National Fiber Backbone.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004831Unfortunately, madam,
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004832yun nga, there was a
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004833gaps between
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004834the possible bidders
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004835kasi hindi nila naunawaan.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004836Si World Bank, meron siyang standard.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004837Kung hindi ka pumasa doon, failed na
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004838kagad yun. So we have two failure of biddings.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004839And we're happy to inform you
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004840by this year, we had
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004841worked with the
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004842World Bank kasi meron silang mission every
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004843month po, madam. And we had
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004844we had together
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004845we look
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004846at the
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004847mga problema po na na-encounter
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004848natin. And finally po, we
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004849had an agreement working on
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004850lowering down
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004851po yung mga kung anong pwedeng gawin
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004852po ng DICT to cover this one.
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004853And we look forward, madam,
DICT Assistant Secretary Pinky T. Jimenez
asr-004854by October of

DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004936That was not renewed
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004937actually. But then
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004938again, the service
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004939provider continued with
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004940the direction of certain
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004941officials
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004942from the DICT during
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004943that time. But without

asr-004944any renewal
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004945contract or any
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004946subsequent bidding for that matter.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004947So, what happened was
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004948because the service was provided for,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004949and effectively

DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004951the citizenry, and
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004952because there's no

DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004954to support such, the service

asr-004958report po ng COA at sa audit po
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004959ng COA, COA directed

DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004964and also not yet paid.
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004965And during that time,
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004966because there was a final decision already
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao
asr-004967by the COA, we
DICT Undersecretary for Support Services Heherson M. Asiddao

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004973Thank you po.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004974You know, for me, it's a bad
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004975precedent, and a dangerous precedent.
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004976Ngayon po ba sa current
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004977administration, Secretary, wala na po tayong
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004978ganyan, wala tayong contracts,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004979nawalang kontraks,
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004980updated po ang
Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes
asr-004981payments?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004982Your Honor,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004983Mr. Chair, the answer there
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004984is everything's
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004985contracted, and
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004986we don't make anymore any
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004987exceptions. So pag hindi na-renew,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004988hindi pwede. Now, on the
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004989renewal, one of the things kasi that
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004990we notice, allowed ka
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004991naman mag-renew kapag
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004992middle of the term na.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004993So I've been asking the team,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004994that's a policy,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004995it's already in the middle of the term,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004996you should already process the renewal.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004997Usually, doon nagkakaproblema,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004998i-re-renew siya kapagka last month na,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-004999and then nagkakaproblema sa documentation.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005000So far, wala po kaming
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005001ganyang problema.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005002Mr. Chair, Your Honor,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005003if I may also make a
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005004clarification, doon sa kanina sa World Bank,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005005yung sinasabi po kasi ni
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005006Asik Pinky na ruling,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005007since first time namin
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda

DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005009World Bank for
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005010a project this big,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005011pagka-finance po kasi ng
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005012World Bank, it's World Bank procurement
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005013rules. So hindi po rules
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005014ng natin yung
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005015nagko-govern nung procurement.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005016It's the World Bank rules
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005017and yung team natin, hindi pa
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005018masyadong bihasa doon sa rules ng World Bank.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005019That's why they went through two failed
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005020biddings po. Ngayon naman, kabisada na,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005021we know what we didn't know
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005022before, mas mabilis na po nga

Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005096Thank you.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005097Along that line,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005098there's one slide here where you say
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005099you're spending 22.4
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005100pesos per unique
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005101beneficiary per month
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005102for free Wi-Fi connectivity.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005103Do you have any data on what
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005104our ASEAN neighbors are spending
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005105for their free Wi-Fi programs
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005106per citizen?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005107You don't
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005108have to answer this right now. If you can just
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005109prepare it and submit it na lang to my office
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005110in the interest of time. But that's important
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005111for me. Because what I'm defending,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005112if you're spending your budget for free Wi-Fi,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005113pwede kong sabihin na,
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005114tingnan mo, we're only spending 22 pesos
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005115per citizen
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005116na gumagamit ng free Wi-Fi.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005117E yung ibang bansa, magkano?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005118Diba? So, it's a question of what
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005119we're investing in our people. So, with that
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005120being said, thank you
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005121Rep. Ayers for making sure
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005122that we're on time with that.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005123With that being said, I'd like to call
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005124on Representative
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005125Salvador Plato for
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005126his
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005127quick questions.

asr-005128Yes? As a member of the
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005129majority.
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-005130They decided
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-005131to switch their placement.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005131-split-2So, see kung
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005132Rufus is going again.

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005201the good Sekretary, sa tingin mo ba

asr-005202importante yun sa atin na
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005204DICT?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005205Mr. Chair, Your Honor,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005206since NGCP is part of what you call
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005207critical infrastructure,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005208the answer there is yes.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005209For the committee's
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda

DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda

DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda

DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005228Mr. Chair, Your Honor.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005229Thank you, Mr. Sekretary.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005230In PC,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005231sa ngayon ba,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005232based on our existing laws,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005233bawal talaga pakialaman
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005234ng
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005235ng gobyerno,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005236in particular DICT,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005237yung data ng
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005238National Grid?
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005239Good afternoon, Mr. Chair. With respect to
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005240the National Grid Corporation, I'm not sure if
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005241it has personal data.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005242Yung coverage po ng
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005243RA 10173, or the Data Privacy Act,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005244is not all forms of data, but what we call
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005245personal data, personal information, or
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005246sensitive personal information
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005247of individual data subjects.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005248So, if it were personal data
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005249of, for example, employees already ng NGCP
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005250or potential customers ng NGCP,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005251if they have individual customers, then
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005252that would already be covered by the data
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005253privacy act.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005253-split-2Other than that,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005254other data na
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005255hindi personal,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005256po pwede. If it's
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005257non-personal data, Mr. Chair, that's outside
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005258of the purview already of RA 10173,
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005259so I cannot say whether or not
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005260yan or not.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005261Alimbawa, Mr. Chair, yung data
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005262ng mga planta
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005263na ginagamit
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005264sa isang klaseng servisyo,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005265no need na kung
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005266kasi apat na klase yung
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005267in the power industry yung ano natin,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005268mga tumatakbo.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005269Yung mga planta na nagkaroon ng mga outages, so is that personal based on your...
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005270It would not be personal data, Mr. Chair.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005271That would actually form part possibly of statistics, statistics and numbers data for the operation of the NGCP.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005272But personally, if it's government data, the NGCP is a concessionaire of the National Transmission Corporation.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005273So actually, in my opinion, there should be actually visibility on the part of the national government with respect to data of its concessionaires.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005274Mr. Chair, is the NPC aware of our electricity market operation? Are you aware of that?
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005275As an institution, Mr. Chair, we're not familiar, we're not privy to electricity market operations because that's not within the mandate of the NPC.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005276But...
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005277But, for example, the data within the wholesale electricity spot market, is that personal or the data that can be shared?
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005278For the wholesale spot electricity market, in my understanding, it does not contain personal data.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005279Personal data with respect to the distribution utilities possibly because distribution utilities would have customer information.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005280And in that regard, the distribution utilities would be personal information controllers.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005281covered by the Data Privacy Act.
NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena
asr-005282But to my understanding, Mr. Chair, those who are part of the WESEM, I don't think they trade in personal data, they trade in electricity.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005283Thank you, thank you, NPC.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005284May itatanong lang ako, Mr. Chair, kay Secretary Henry.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005285Bakit po, ano, parang 90% doon sa budget ninyo ay nasa Office of the Secretary?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005288Mr. Chair, Your Honor, from the start, karamihan ng budget talaga nasa Office of the Secretary.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005289It's a matter of classification of all the projects.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005290Pate po ba, Mr. Chair, yung PS?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005291Kasi nakalagak lahat eh sa Office of the Secretary.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005292So yan na po talaga yung nakasanayan ng DICT?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005293Mr. Chair, Your Honor, yes, ganyan na po ang nakasanayan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005294Thank you, Secretary, doon sa paliwanag.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005295Anyway, may kuha naman for lack of material time.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005296Hindi ko na tatanungin.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005297May I ask, NTC, Mr. Chair,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005298may no monitor nyo po ba yung connectivity doon sa mga probinsya,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005299sa mga telco?
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez
asr-005300Mr. Chair, mayroon po kaming validation sa regional offices.
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez
asr-005301Yes po, may mamonitor po, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005302With all due respect, hindi po totoo yun na binabalidit ninyo.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005303Siargao ang dinagat, habang tumatagal,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005304nagdadagdag kami pag-connect ng mga seal sites,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005305lalong nawawala yung signal.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005306Kaya nga, lahat ng nag-a-apply ng aplikasyon,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005307sa siaril ko at saka sa delco,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005308bago ko i-connect, pinapapirma ko ng undertaking
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005309na kapag ka hindi nag-improve yung signal sa opisina namin,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005310hirap na hirap na kami doon sa signal namin.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005311Dagdag nang dagdag kayo ng ano.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005312So, that's why, with all due respect, akin,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005313hindi po totoo na binabalidit ninyo.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005314Sino-sino po yung mga tao ng NPC na pumupunta doon?
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez
asr-005315Mr. Chair, we'll have to check po,
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez
asr-005316specifically sa region po,
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez
asr-005317sa Siargao and sa Dinagat,
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez
asr-005318but we do have a validation po, Mr. Chair,
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez
asr-005319sa mga regional offices and regular po yun na ginagawa.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005320Malayo po yung Butuan, no?
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005321Ito yung taga Butuan.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005322Paano nila binabalidit kung nasa Butuan lang sila
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005323or sa Surigao City,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005324kung hindi sila tatawi doon sa Siargao at Dinagat,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005325para makita nila na nawawala yung signal sa silpo nila.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005326Even ako dumadaan sa Commonwealth,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005327Commonwealth na, nawawala pa yung signal.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005328That's why, kindly,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005329no, NTC naman,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005330nagbabayad po tayo.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005331Hindi po to katulad ng korinti na
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005332kapag kawalang korinti, hindi ikot yung metro.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005333Ito po ay sa bahay ko lang sa Siargao.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005334Kaya magdita ka na lang kasi nagbabayad ka naman monthly.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005335Fix yun.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005336Tapos dalawang araw, apat na araw.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005337So that's why I'm telling you, Mr. Chair,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005338pasinsya na po kayo.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005339Hindi po ako naniniwala na mayroong nagbabalidit.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005340Ang dami pong reklamo.
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez
asr-005341Yes, Mr. Chair.
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez
asr-005342Ipapano po namin, Sir, sa aming regional offices,
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez
asr-005343which is tama po kayo.
NTC Commissioner Ella Blanca B. Lopez
asr-005344Located po siya sa Butuan City, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005345So huwag magvalidit doon sa opisina lang.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005346Pupunta doon sa lugar.
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005347So finally, Mr. Chair,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc
asr-005348hihingin ko na lang yung commitment ni RD,
Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-005879DICT na
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005880bago matapos ang 2028,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005881hindi po natin magiging problema ang
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda

DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005885tanong nyo, doon sa mga areas
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005886na dati, may marami
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005887pong ganun eh. Dati, may barangay
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005888hall na may connectivity, biglang naputulan.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005889Nadatnaan po namin yan noong 25.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005890Yung iba na
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005891ayos na. Pero yung detalye,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005892Mr. Chair, if you would allow
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005893me to ask
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005894Chris to respond.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-005895Mr. Chair?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-005896Yes, you may refer.

DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005898Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005899So, Mr. Chair, yung regarding sa
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005900gano'ng situation, nung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005901inaral po namin siya, Mr. Chair,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005902ano po siya, no? Nag-introduce po,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005903ayun po yung mga barangays or yung mga
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005904locations natin na nag-introduce
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005905tayo ng enhancements.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005906Meaning, what
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005907we did was, we long,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005908parang pinahaba natin yung contract duration
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005909because it, yung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005910mas nakita natin na
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005911based on our studies, mas mura,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005912mas mura per location kapag
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005913mas mahaba yung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005914contract duration. So, meaning,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-0059154 months will always be
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005916mas, hindi, mas less
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005917preferable than contracting it for 12 months.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005918So, yun po yung mga ginawa natin.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005919Pagka po kasi ganun, hindi po pwedeng
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005920i-renew siya to longer
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005921duration. So, new procurement po yung ginagawa natin.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005922So, yun po. We're expecting din po na
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005923babalik na po yung connectivity
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005924sa mga sites na yun. Nagtutuloy-tuloy
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005925na po tayo na ma-restore
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005926yung ano,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005927yung sa procurement po natin, hindi na-expedite
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005928na rin po natin para ma-ano na natin.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005929With the longer
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005930duration and the cheaper
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-0059313 per 8,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005932tapos yun po kaya mas marami po yung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005933sites na pwede nating makakabit.
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005934Alright, thank you very much.
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005935Mr. Chair, isang katanungan
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005936din. Sa mga liblib

asr-005937na lugar, let's say yung mga bundok-bundok
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005938sa mga GDI areas po natin

asr-005943globe, wala talaga.
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005944Yung smart link, pero
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005945yung problema po doon sa mga
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005946communities, mahal
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005947daw yung maintenance.
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005948I mean, yung babayaran po ba?
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005949Paano yung
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005950DICT magpapasok
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005951po doon? Thank you.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005952Mr. Chair, if I may?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005953So regarding po sa
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005954kami po, sa DICT po, yung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005955priority po namin is kung saan yung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005956inuuna po namin yung mga nasa GIDA area,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005957yung mga remote places, kung saan po
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005958walang private sector, doon po
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005959nauuna yung void po na yun, yung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005960finifil ng government. So currently po,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005961hinakita natin,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005962by reason of
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005963yung, kasi po
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005964yung part po ng managed services that we're
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005965getting, is kapag ka
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005966may masira, or may kailangan sila
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005967i-restore, kung ano po yung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005968hike na ginamit nga po nila, na ginawa nila
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005969para akitin at i-install at the
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005970first time sa liblib na lugar. Kung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005971normally po kasi, mga
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005972bundok po to, may mga tumatawid
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005973po ng ilog or dagat. So
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005974kapag ka po may nasira, within 72 hours,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005975they need to do that same hike
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005976to repair or restore po yung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005977connectivity
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005978in that area. So
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005979that's based on contract din po namin.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005980Kaya,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005981what we, ano naman, we saw na,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005982kasi based on our current
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005983approach po, we have a project po
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005984wherein nakita natin,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005985nationwide
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005986the project siya, covering
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-0059875,400 plus
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005988schools. So dun po
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005989nakita natin na hindi, ano,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005990economies of scale. So
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005991kung hindi na nila,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005992hindi na nag, nakita natin mas
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005993mura, mas napababa po natin yung cost.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-005994Dahil nga po sa volume.
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005995Thank you, thank you.
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005996Usec, pero,
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005997ano po yung mga
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005998ginagarantee natin sa
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-005999DICT na talagang
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006000yung dere-derecho yung
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006001connectivity? Kasi pag bagyo,
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006002diba, may mga schools na talagang
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006003nandoon sila sa kabundukan.
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006004Then, parang
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006005yung problema po nila is, matagal
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006006ba gumare-restore, Mr. Chair?
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006007Mr. Chair,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006008so currently, yes po, agree po. Yung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006009regarding po sa mga bagyo, well,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006010number one po, yung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006011dinideploy po natin, kung liblib
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006012na lugar, most of the time,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006013low earth orbit satellite po yan, or mas
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006014kilala natin yung ginagamit po natin ngayon, Starlink.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006015So Starlink po,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006016it reached a point na na yung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006017current technology niya is
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006018resilient na kahit po dati
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006019kailangan ng clear skies,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006020clear line of sight sa
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006021satellites po natin. So ngayon po,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006022kahit po disaster
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006023season
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006024or disaster yung, may disaster
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006025sa particular air, may bagyo,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006026meron pa rin pong connectivity.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006027So ang kalaban na lang po dyan is,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006028ang binabantay na lang natin is yung kuryente.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006029So right now po, we also
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006030have, well, we have
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006031a project po, actually si
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006032DepEd po, yung
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006033in
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006034partnership with, yung si
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006035DepEd po, nakita natin na nagpo
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006036procure siya at nag-i-install ng
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006037Starlink na meron naman pong
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006038power, medyan, set
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006039power, solar.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006040So, solar-powered po. Tapos, it supplies po yung electricity.
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006041So, to ensure na hindi siya may interrupt kahit...
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006042Kasi po nakita natin, Mr. Chair, natest naman po namin yan when we were in various schools,
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006043even yung mga floating schools po or mga island po na gumagamit ng solar
DICT Assistant Secretary Christian Mark G. Guingcangco
asr-006044na enough naman po to sustain yung internet po for extended hours.
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006045Mr. Chair, thank you.
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006046Regarding po doon, hindi po ba pwede, Mr. Chair, na yung fund for the, let's say, yung unit,
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006047ay meron din siyang power supply para hindi na pupunta sa DepEd yung pondo para iba na naman.
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006048Let's say, Mr. Chair, sana ganun na lang po.
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006049Kasi magkakaproblema po yung mga schools, the BHS, and the communities na nandun sa mga liblib na lugar
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006050pag during the disaster.
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006051So, sana po, Mr. Chair, yun po ang dadagdagan po natin sa pondo nila.
Rep. Caroline B. Agyao
asr-006052Thank you so much. Thank you sa DICT family.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-006053That's a very fair point. And also, it fulfills the mandate of DICT to connect the disadvantaged, no?
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-006054Geographically disadvantaged.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-006055So, with that being said, I call on the last representative of the House Hot Shots.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-006056I mean, sorry, the last representative.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-006057The last representative of the majority, Congressman Javi Benitez. You're recognized.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006058Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. And it is an honor to be your groomsman tomorrow at your wedding.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006059Congratulations.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006060At nahiyan na nga ako magtanong dahil alam kong hinahanap ka na ni Marge, ni Yusek Marge.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006061Pero while hinihintay po rin natin si Chair, no? Chair Mika.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006062Okay na? Okay.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006063So, Mr. Secretary, ang hirap lang sundin si Kong Rufus.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006064But I want to say that I manifest also that support for your, ano po yun, Kong Rufus?
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006065One billion?
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez
asr-006066One billion.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006067One billion, at least.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006068But gusto ko rin magpasalamat, Mr. Secretary, dahil nasabi po namin sa aming RD sa amin
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006069that meron ng starling po sa amin mga public schools.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006070And nakita ko first hand.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006071Dahil meron din akong starlink.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006072Lalo na pag walang interference, naka 200-250 Mbps for upload and download.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006073And malaking tulong po ito para sa ating mga schools.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006074Lalo na actually galing lang po ako sa DepEd.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006075And ang ating learning crisis ay kailangan din talaga na may digital help para doon.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006076But I'd wanted to ask, I think, a rather basic question.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006077I know that EO 119 has been signed for a data framework.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006078Do we have
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006079data standards
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006080in our government?
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006081I know that DBM has UACS codes.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006082But is there a data standard for entire bureaucracy?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006083Mr. Chair, Your Honor, by next week, we will convene the technical working group for the EO 119.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006084That is an inter-agency technical working group.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006085And we will craft the standards, Mr. Chair, Your Honor.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006086I was just looking sana kay USEC Sara kanina.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006087Because she knows the details eh.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006088But the technical working group starts meeting this week.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006089Mr. Chair, and thank you, Mr. Secretary.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006090Now I wanted to ask, because data standards are important.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006091When we look at DBM as well, it should be, you know, may UACS yan, unified identifiers.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006092Would we go from the formulation of the NEP to the MGA, to SAROs, disbursements?
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006093I mean, I used to trade in the crypto space.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006094And I know, I'm a bit exposed about blockchain.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006095And we all know that it is a ledger, a distributed ledger, that is encrypted by a cryptographic hash.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006096I wanted to ask, because I know that this is being pushed as well.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006097Do you think that...
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006098Kadena, which I am a co-author, do you believe that this is feasible for our government?
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006099And how much do you think it would cost?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006100Mr. Chair, Your Honor, I think the concept of Kadena, the CA, the Kadena bill, is feasible in our government.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006101As to the amount, I think it depends on how the legislature will craft the laws.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006102Whether it's public chain, private chain, and the extent to which it will be implemented.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006103But I think whatever the amount is, if it achieves the objective of transparency in government, it will be worth it, Mr. Chair, Your Honor.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006104Mr. Chair and Mr. Secretary, do you believe that Kadena will solve corruption in the Philippines?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006105Mr. Chair, Your Honor, Kadena is a tool to curb corruption.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006106As with all transparency portals that we're implementing right now.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006107Ultimately, it's how effective the tool is implemented.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006108I think it can minimize corruption.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006109Definitely, it will increase transparency.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006110Thank you.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006111And when we talk about Kadena,
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006112and it's supposed to curb corruption,
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006113it's supposed to curb corruption, I understand.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006114But I know that Bayani Chain has also made on-chain for free.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006115Do you believe that this is possible?
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006116That we can also have a very minimal budget for this in case it does pass or in case that we do pursue it?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006117Mr. Chair, Your Honor,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006118the one that Bayani Chain did was a free chain.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006119Basically, what they did is just onboarded the published budget of 2025 into a public chain.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006120I think the approach of uploading the published budget on any chain is feasible and that's free.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006121The question there is if you establish a system end-to-end from NEP to expenditure.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006122And more importantly, which is I'm a big proponent of,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006123you use stable coin.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006124Because if you want to track every peso that comes out of the government,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006125the easier way of doing it is to just tokenize all of the peso.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006126And then, you can now follow the provenance.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006127Now, if that's the ambition that we want,
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006128I think that would be the better solution.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006129Because right now, each citizen can account for every peso that goes out of the government.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006130But it will take a lot of work, Mr. Chair, Your Honor.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006131So it seems, Mr. Chair and Mr. Secretary,
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006132it seems that once we make it transparent,
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006133it may have the same effect but we have to ensure that data going in is also as credible, correct?
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006134Mr. Chair, I'd like to ask about EGov.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006135And I think I wanted to ask,
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006136is this government-owned?
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006137Because I know that it collects government data and as well as citizens' data.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006138Who owns EGov, the source code, Mr. Secretary?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006139Mr. Chair, Your Honor, the ownership is with the government.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006140I think earlier conversation, I have USEC Admiral who mentioned that
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006141we're the custodian and owner of the source code at this point.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006142Okay.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006143And how many active monthly users?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006144Mr. Chair, Your Honor, maybe I should turn it over to USEC Admiral for the details
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006145so that it's consistent with his earlier statement.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006146Okay.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006147USEC, you may share the numbers once more?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006148Yes, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006149Let me answer that.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006150So right now, Mr. Chair, since we already have 61 million downloads with 56 million unique users,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006151our average daily download, Mr. Chair, is about 70,000 to 100,000 a day.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006152So that's the average download.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006153So approximately, Mr. Chair, for monthly active downloads,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006154about around 3 million downloads monthly, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006155Okay.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006156Mr. Chair and USEC, how much is that per user, per transaction is the cost to run EGov?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006157In terms of maybe economic impact on the current budget that we have,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006158approximately, Mr. Chair, around 9 pesos per user, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006159Okay.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006160And how does EGov get funded?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006161For the development, Mr. Chair, since we build this internally,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006162so we don't have any contractor developing and building EGov.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006163It's an in-house developed platform.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006164Right now, Mr. Chair, we're only paying our own staff to do it.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006165Right now, we have about approximately more than 30 programmers
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006166doing it, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006167Okay. So, Mr. Chair, you said 9 pesos per user, correct?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006168For comparing our current budget, EGov budget, to the users, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006169Okay. So all internal and no line item budget, correct?
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006170And there are no private companies or contractors working?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006171Yes, Mr. Chair, for the development, for the R&D.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006172The one that's only paying, Mr. Chair, is actually the subscription of our storage,
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006173our cloud, service security, and other non-software developers' expenses.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006174Okay. And where is this cloud stored?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006175Right now, Mr. Chair, it's stored in Singapore.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006176So since we're using public cloud services, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006177Okay. So what company in Singapore, if I may ask?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006178So we're using AWS, like 80%.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006179We also have several services stored in Google.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006180Okay.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006181We have some in the Google Cloud and also some also in our current existing co-locations, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006182Okay. Mr. Chair, so it seems that the data of our Filipino people are in AWS or Google Cloud in Singapore, no?
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006183Mr. Chair, I'd like to ask the department if are you amenable that we have sovereign data centers to house our data?
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006184That's the ideal, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006185So we're supposed to own it, manage it locally.
DICT Undersecretary David Almirol Jr.
asr-006186Locally, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006187Okay. Thank you.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006188One last question.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006189Alam kong time's up na rin ako.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006190But siguro dahil Department of Tourism is next, yung digital nomad visa na lang, ano po yung status po nun?
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006191Tsaka sana meron tayong mas maraming digital nomads na makapunta sa ating bansa.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-006192Great transition and buzzer beater.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-006193Who do I recognize from DICT?
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006194Mr. Chair, your honor.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006195Actually, we've been pushing the nomad visa.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006196And we've been working closely with DICT.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006197Working closely with the Department of Foreign Affairs.
DICT Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda
asr-006198But the latest, I think, if I can pass it on to USEC Sarah on the latest status of that initiative.
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-006199With your permission, Mr. Chair.
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-006200So the Office of the Undersecretary for Policy is working closely with our Cybersecurity Bureau together with the Department of Foreign Affairs.
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-006201It is still in the planning and consultation stage.
DICT Undersecretary for Policy, Legal, and Communications Sarah Maria Q. Sison
asr-006202But we will give an update as soon as we have our timeline because there's a lot of cybersecurity issues involved, Mr. Chair.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-006203Okay. Thank you so much.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006204Thank you so much, Mr. Chair, and to the Department of Information, Communications, and Technology.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006205I look forward to much more of your work.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006206I'd like to congratulate Zach Henry and the whole DICT team.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006207I believe that you have a track record.
Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez
asr-006208And we hope that more budget for the DICT because here we are, dear colleagues, compared to our Asian and global partners.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-006209So, thank you so much.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-006210I need to just ask to make sure, Representative Tino.
Rep. Brian Poe
asr-006211Okay.
