Upang hihirang, huyan ka ng magiting, sa manlulukig, di ka pasisiil.

Sa dagat at bundok, sa simoy at sa langit mong bugaw, may dilag ang tula at awit sa paglayang minamahal.

Ang kislap ng wataw at mui-tagumpay na nagniningning, ang bituin at araw niya, kailan pa?

Thank you. Distinguished colleagues, Secretary Juan Edgardo Sani Emanggara,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000069

officials and personnel of the Department of Education, our distinguished guests and friends, good morning.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000070

As we convene to examine the proposed budget of the department,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000071

let us be guided, as always, by our shared commitment to the education of every Filipino child.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000072

I would also like to note that we opened this hearing at the start of the National Teachers' Month.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000073

To our teachers across the country, maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000074

Much of what we will discuss this morning is for you.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000075

Allow me to begin with what every farmer in our province already knows.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000076

The sun ripens the harvest, but not overnight.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000077

Through the storms of the past years, the department pressed on with its work.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000078

Now, the season has turned, and it is time to look at what has grown.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000079

So this year, we are not merely hoping for good weather.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000080

We are here to ask about the harvest.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000081

This committee takes that responsibility to heart

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000082

as we deliberate on the resources

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000083

we entrust to the education of every Filipino

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000084

child.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000085

For fiscal year 2027, the Department of Education, including its attached agencies,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000086

is proposing a total budget of P975.96 billion,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000087

a significant investment in our teachers, our schools, and above all, our learners.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000088

As the President emphasized in his budget message,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000089

by continuously,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000090

investing in quality education,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000091

we are investing in the country's greatest resource,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000092

our people.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000093

How the Department intends to carry this out,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000094

we will hear shortly from the Secretary himself.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000095

But before anything else,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000096

in light of recent events in our schools,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000097

this committee looks forward to hearing

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000098

how the Department intends to keep our learners and teachers safe,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000099

both in the security of our campuses

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000100

and in the mental health and psychosocial support available to them. We also look forward to hearing the Department's plans for our teachers,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000101

through the expanded career progression system,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000102

the additional medical allowance,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000103

and the hiring of additional teaching and non-teaching personnel.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000104

We will listen for its plans for our schools

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000105

through the basic education facilities program,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000106

and the computerization program,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000107

and for our learners,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000108

through the school-based feeding program,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000109

and government assistance,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000110

and subsidies.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000111

Plans, however,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000112

are only seeds.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000113

As Vice Chairperson for Appropriations,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000114

and having sponsored,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000115

defended,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000116

and advocated for the Department's budget for the 8th time,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000117

I know that this committee will not be satisfied with seeds alone.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000121

We will count the harvest that has grown

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000122

from the appropriations of the

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000123

past two years.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000124

The responsibility before us

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000125

is therefore clear

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000126

to ensure that every peso

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000127

appropriated for education

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000128

translates

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000129

into better learning opportunities,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000130

stronger schools,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000131

better supported teachers,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000132

and brighter prospects

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000133

for every Filipino child.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000134

My dear colleagues,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000135

this committee has supported the department's

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000136

budget year after

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000137

year, and I expect we will

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000138

do so again. But our

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000139

job does not end when the

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000140

budget is passed. Let us count

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000141

the harvest, the classrooms

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000142

built, the learners fed,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000143

the teachers who stayed, and

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000144

the children who learned to read.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000145

Because a good son

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000146

is known by its harvest.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000147

At this point, I now recognize

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000148

Secretary Juan Edgardo

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000149

Sonny M. Angara for the presentation

with a

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000168

1.015 trillion budget

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

which has enabled us to pursue critical

asr-000170

reforms to improve learning outcomes

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000171

and strengthen support for our learners, our teachers,

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000176

builds on the reforms we have already started

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000177

and focuses on the key

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000178

investments needed to further improve the quality

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000179

accessibility and efficiency

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000187

highlighting the Department's

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000188

progress and key reform initiatives over

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000189

the past year. With your permission, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000190

May we proceed with the presentation?

Source

Presentation video

asr-000191

Sa nakalipas na dalawang taon,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000192

may mga

Source

Presentation video

asr-000193

pagbabagong nagsimula

Source

Presentation video

asr-000194

nang maramdaman sa mga paaralan.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000195

Sa early age niya, kahit napakahaba

Source

Presentation video

asr-000196

ng name niya, alam niya na po

Source

Presentation video

asr-000197

kung paano magsulat. Kilala niya na rin po

Source

Presentation video

asr-000198

lahat ng letters at lahat po

Source

Presentation video

asr-000199

ng sounds.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000200

Wala po sa pinakamalapit na public school

Source

Presentation video

asr-000201

yung track na gusto ko. And yung

Source

Presentation video

asr-000202

voucher naman po, naka-lessen siya

Source

Presentation video

asr-000203

ng financial burden ng family namin.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000204

Ang

Source

Presentation video

asr-000205

ang kumot niya may

Source

Presentation video

asr-000206

6 na

Source

Presentation video

asr-000207

laso.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000208

Noon po, hindi pa

Source

Presentation video

asr-000209

ako marunong magbasa,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000210

nahihiya po ako.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000211

Tapos nung marunong na po akong magbasa,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000212

hindi na po ako nahihiya.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000213

Tapos masaya na po ako.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000214

Dahil po sa bagong

Source

Presentation video

asr-000215

classroom, mas enjoy po akong

Source

Presentation video

asr-000216

mag-aral nang mabuti para

Source

Presentation video

asr-000217

maging doctor paglaki.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000218

Ngayon na may internet na

Source

Presentation video

asr-000219

ang school, mas natututuhan nila yung

Source

Presentation video

asr-000220

lessons nila nang mabilis. At sa mga visual learners

Source

Presentation video

asr-000221

namin, nakikita nila using

Source

Presentation video

asr-000222

internet kung paano yung mga lessons na-apply

Source

Presentation video

asr-000223

sa totoong buhay.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000224

At kapag mas matibay ang simula,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000225

mas maraming pagkakataon ang

Source

Presentation video

asr-000226

nagbubukas.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000227

Mas maganda po yung new curriculum, lalo na po

Source

Presentation video

asr-000228

pagdating namin sa Grade 12,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000229

may tinatawag na doorway option (cross-track) na puwede

Source

Presentation video

asr-000230

kaming kumuha ng isang elective subject

Source

Presentation video

asr-000231

kung gusto namin.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000232

Maganda siya para sa akin kasi nakakatulong po ako sa pamilya ko.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000233

And I'm currently now a make-up artist po.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000234

Pero walang batang umaabot doon nang mag-isa.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000235

Kailangan niya ng gurong may sapat na oras at suporta.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000236

Dati, full-load,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000237

madaming gawain, dismissal na pero kailangan ko pa ring tapusin.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000238

Pero ngayon, naging mas magaan.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000239

Mas naka-focus na ako sa aking mga tungkulin bilang guro sa mga bata.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000240

Sa wakas po, mapapagaan po nito ang aming trabaho.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000241

At makakapag-focus po kami sa pagtuturo namin.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000242

Siyempre, nandiyan yung number one bond paper,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000243

ink for printer namin.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000244

Kahit paisa-isang bilihan mo,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000245

pero kapag binilang mo at pinagsama-sama,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000246

marami rin siya at malaki talaga.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000247

We are grateful na nadagdagan yung teaching allowance namin

Source

Presentation video

asr-000248

kasi malaking tulong para sa gayon,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000249

mas maturuan at maibigay namin yung pangangailangan ng mga bata.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000250

At hindi lang trabaho ang kailangang gumaan.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000251

Kailangan ding magkaroon ng pagkakataong umunlad ang guro.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000252

Ngayon ay nakikita na rin namin ang aming landas

Source

Presentation video

asr-000253

para sa aming growth or pag-unlad,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000254

lalong-lalo na sa aming pagtanda.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000255

There are times na nakakalimutan na rin namin yung sarili naming well-being,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000256

sarili naming health.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000257

With this medical allowance,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000258

nagkaroon kami ng pakiramdam na the government is also looking

Source

Presentation video

asr-000259

at our physical well-being.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000260

At sa paaralan,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000261

ang pag-aalaga ay hindi nagtatapos sa pagtuturo.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000262

Sa hirap talaga ng buhay ngayon,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000263

talagang masasabi kong napakalaking tulong

Source

Presentation video

asr-000264

para sa aming mga magulang yung feeding program na ito.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000265

Minsan, may mga bagay na hindi mo kayang sabihin sa parents and friends mo,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000266

at nakakagaan po ng loob

Source

Presentation video

asr-000267

kapag may taong nakikinig at may concern sa iyo.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000268

Bilang magulang,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000269

kampante kami dahil hindi lang natututukan

Source

Presentation video

asr-000270

ang kanilang pag-aaral,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000271

kundi ang kanilang kaligtasan.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000272

Kahit may sakuna,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000273

kaming mga guro at mga bata ay alam na po yung mga paghahanda at dapat gawin.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000274

Sa katunayan, may mga safety measures na po kami, may mga materials po kami.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000275

At para magawa ito,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000276

dapat maihatid ang mga pangangailangan ng bawat paaralan.

Source

Presentation video

asr-000277

Maganda yung epekto,

Source

Presentation video

asr-000278

mabilis at maayos yung dating ng mga learning

Source

yung ating mga stakeholders na laging nandiyan

asr-000286

at malalaman na mismo kung ano ang pangangailangan ng paaralan.

Mas panatag po kami ngayon dahil ramdam namin

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-000368

When the bell sounds, the member has 30 seconds to conclude.

So allow me to recognize Representative Perci Cendaña

for the first question.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000376

Maraming salamat, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000377

at magandang umaga po sa ating lahat.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000378

Bago po magsimula, baka pwede po muna itong bilangin sa aking five minutes,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000379

gusto ko lamang pong batiin lahat ng mga guro na narito na Happy Teacher's Month po sa inyo.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000380

Para pong mahina yung palakpak for our teachers,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000381

pwede na pong magsimula yung five minutes, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000382

Sige po.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000383

This is a very pressing matter because of what has been happening in our schools the past few months.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000384

Madam Chair, nakababahala po na mismo ang EDCOM 2 nakita na ang Pilipinas na ngayon ang bullying capital of the world.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000385

Inuulit ko po, hindi ito magandang klase ng gold medal.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000386

Ito yung gold medal na dapat hindi natin sinusuot with pride.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000387

Again, the Philippines is the bullying capital of the world.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000388

This is saddening as it is alarming dahil alam nating bumababa ang learning competencies ng ating mga studyante kapag nabubully sila.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000389

Bullying is also among the reasons pointed out why the recent cases of school violence happened and why it is alarmingly increasing.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000390

Kaya nga po, kahit ako hindi nakaligtas sa bullying,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000391

from no less than a school principal, shout out po sa principal ang Dimasalang High School, National High School po sa Masbate.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000392

Madam Chair, we'd like to ask the DepEd, ano po ang plano ng DepEd para mapigilan ang bullying at karahasan within our schools?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000393

We have a lot of programs and we're looking at, magandang umaga, Perci.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000394

We're looking at full implementation of the anti-bullying law, revised anti-bullying law.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000395

And in the last year, we've seen a, dumami na po talaga yung functioning child protection committees which is a requirement of the anti-bullying law.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000396

I think if I'm not mistaken, we have over 30,000, there are over 36,000 of our schools already have functioning child protection committees.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000397

And ang ginawa po namin dahil nakita po ng EDCOM nga na iilan lang po ang dati-dati-rati, about a year and a half ago, ang may functioning child protection committees.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000398

So, that's one. And the second is under the new mental health and well-being law, we're ramping up the hiring.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000399

In fact, we shortened the time for the hiring of the school council associates.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000400

Normally, this would take three to four months because our HROD, headed by Willie Cabral, looked for a way to shorten the hiring process.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000401

Naibaba na namin sa halos 30 days, Your Honor, yung hiring process ng school council associates.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000402

So, definitely, we're looking at that. We're looking at that. We're looking at that. We're looking at that. We're looking at that. We're looking at that.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000403

So, definitely, I think dapat palakasin talaga yung approach in schools and building a stronger sense of community, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000404

So, these are some of the things we're trying to do.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000405

And of course, training our, kahit yung mga eskwelahan na walang guidance counsellor, which is a systemic problem, as pointed out also by EDCOM.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000406

E, itatrain na lang sa suho natin sana yung mga guro, how to deal with problems like this.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000407

And of course, we're also trying to foster the larger community.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000408

We're also trying to foster the larger community, including the parents, para masabihan din yung mga bata.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000409

Because as we all know, the origins of bullying are quite complex and many have origins in the household, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000410

Maraming salamat, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000411

Mr. Secretary, bahagi po noong IRR ng Anti-Bullying Act ay ang designation ng Learner Information Officers.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000412

Kumusta po ang status ng designation ng ating mga LFOs?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000413

We've ramped it up, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000414

In fact, 100% ang LFOs.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000415

Ang pag-designate natin ng Learner Formation Officers.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000416

So all of our schools have a Learner Formation Officer, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000417

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000418

Mr. Secretary, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000419

Lumipat naman po tayo doon sa isang issue na napakalapit po sa puso ng maraming mga magulang na narito ngayon.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000420

Lalong-lalo na po yung mga magulang ng mga pupils, learners, children with special needs.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000421

Noong nakaraang budget po ay pinaglaban ng Akbayan na maibalik ang pondo ng Special Needs Education Program ng DepEd.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000422

Pero na-cut na naman po ang budget ng programa for 2027.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000423

from [unclear] billion to 850 million

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000424

pesos. Bakit po kaya

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000425

nagkaroon na ganitong cut sa budget ng

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000426

SNED, Mr. Secretary, Madam Chair?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000427

Thank you for the question, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000428

Well, as you know, this is

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000429

still the initial part of the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000430

budgetary process. So,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000431

the NEP to NEP, NEP comparing

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000432

26 NEP to 27 NEP,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000433

actually, pantay lang siya. So, in that sense,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000434

walang budget cut. Kasi yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000435

1.04 billion ng 2026

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000436

GAA, it represents a,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000437

includes a congressional insertion.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000438

So, ang practice talaga ng DBM is

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000439

what they put in the next year's

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000440

budget is only the NEP amount

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000441

from the previous year. So, siguro

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000442

inasahan din nila na madadagdagan

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000443

po yan sa panig ng Kongreso.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000444

But, having said that, we've

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000445

appealed for an additional 541.5

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000446

million, subject to the discretion

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000447

of the Honorable Members of Congress,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000448

Your Honor. And what would this

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000449

additional 500

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000450

million cover in terms of programs

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000451

and services, Madam Chair?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000452

Mr. Secretary? Additional

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000453

staffing, Your Honor. Also,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000454

the facilities, maraming schools

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000455

na wala pa rin equipment, yung inclusive learning

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000456

centers. But, I think, one of the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000457

greatest needs is really personnel

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000458

and hiring, Your Honor. So, this will enable us

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000459

to hire

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000460

program support funds for

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000461

34,000 schools, program support funds

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000462

for each SDO.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000463

So, this is to train some of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000464

the teachers, given the systemic

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000465

lack of personnel. And,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000466

capacity building for 622 school

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000467

heads, supervisors, and

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000468

multidisciplinary teams as required by the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000469

Inclusive Education Law, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000470

Kinakilangan po talaga, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000471

Mr. Secretary,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000472

na supportahan natin ang ating mga learners

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000473

with disabilities within the

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000474

formal education institutions.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000475

Kasi po, sila ang may pinaka

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000476

pangangailangan na supporta. Kaya po,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000477

ibig sabihin, dapat sila yung isa sa

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000478

may pinakamalaking investment

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000479

in terms of our budget. Kasi yan po

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000480

talaga ang itsura ng inclusion.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000481

We propose restoring

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000482

the SNED funding to 1 billion

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000483

and perhaps even increasing it to

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000484

2 billion so that Inclusive Education Act

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000485

is backed by services,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000486

facilities, materials, and professional

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000487

support needed for its full

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000488

implementation. Let me move on

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000489

to the Inclusive Learning Resource Centers.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000491

4 years na po since na-enact

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000492

Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary?

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000503

Thank you for the support

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000504

for SNED. We couldn't agree with you more,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000505

Your Honor. For the ILRCs,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000506

the budget for 2027

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000507

is 81.6 million, which will

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000508

be able to construct 6 ILRCs,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000509

Your Honor. So as always, we are

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000510

limited by the budget.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000511

It's not given to us, allotted to us.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000517

Ano pong plano natin

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000518

dyan in the future to ramp up itong programang ito?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000519

Well,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000520

we would, again, we request,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000521

we would always request extra budget. But I think

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000522

there are maybe creative ways to go about it, Your Honor,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000523

Madam Chair. It's perhaps to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000524

encourage also

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000525

some of the LGUs to build.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000526

And perhaps

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000527

one of these ways is if Congress could

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000528

look at amending the Adopt-a-School

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000529

law to include,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000530

to expand the menu for,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000531

because this has proven to be a very

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000532

powerful incentive for the private

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000533

sector to invest in education

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000534

because they get a very hefty

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000535

malaki yung tax break na tinatanggap

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000536

po ng mga pribadong

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000537

korporasyon. So pag naisama po yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000538

inclusive education dyan, palagay ko

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000539

baka it's a way of approaching

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000540

the problem from many sides, not just from

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000541

the one dimension of government

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000542

spending, Your Honor. Sama natin yung

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000548

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000549

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000555

cases ng school violence.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

tayo sa implementation ng programang ito

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000564

at magkano po ang budget na request

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000565

ng DepEd para dito? Again, what was

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000566

requested and how much was reflected

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000567

in the NEP?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000568

For the learning support centers.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000569

We only have a budget of 10.8

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000570

million for the enhancement of learner

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000571

support centers, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000572

But I think, I believe we've

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000573

requested a larger amount for that.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000574

I just, allow me some time

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000575

to get the number, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Madam Chair, may we request DepEd to

magiging staffing ng programang ito?

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000584

and responsibilities under this program?

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000586

Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000587

I think it's a

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000588

mabuti rin na po ititrain po natin ang ating

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000589

mga teachers but definitely ayaw natin

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000590

na silang sumalo nitong problema which

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000591

is why we have

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000592

as mentioned earlier, the learning formation

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000593

officers, the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000594

school counselor associates, the guidance counselor

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000595

associates and where

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000596

they are available, the guidance counselors also,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000597

Your Honor. Tsaka tinitrain din po

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000598

natin yung ating mga teachers dahil

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000599

I think mental health is something that we should all

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000600

all be aware of and not be dismissive

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000601

of because that's the natural

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000602

tendency in the past because

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000603

usually sinasabi ng mga matatanda tulad

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000604

natin na normal lang

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000605

yan, diba? Ano yan? Tinadaanan natin

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000606

ng lahat yan. But that's not the case.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000607

I think it's on the increase now, especially

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000608

kids are more vulnerable now

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000609

because of the exposure to social

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000610

media. I think that that's something which

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000611

our generation did not have to deal

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000612

with, your honor. So, lumalala

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000613

na po ang problema. Tama po kayo and we

appreciate the support from your end.

asr-000623

isa pong tanong na palagi namin kinatanong sa

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000624

DepEd ay given the situation,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000625

ituturo na po ba natin ang proper

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000626

condom use sa ating mga estudyante

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000627

at ituturo po sa anong edad po

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000628

ito ituturo, Madam Chair?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000629

Definitely

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000630

that's a requirement of the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000631

reproductive health law, Your

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000632

honor. So, I just have to check

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000633

what age it's being

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000634

taught with our curriculum

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000635

personnel. But definitely

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000636

ways to avoid

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000637

unwanted pregnancies,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000638

responsible

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000639

reproductive health, these are all parts

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000640

of our

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000641

curriculum and things we need to impart

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000642

to our young people. So, I think

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000643

pagdating ko sa

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000644

bodily part,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000645

that's taught very early. I think key stage

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000646

one or key stage two. But yung actual

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000647

use of contraceptives is taught

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000648

at 8th grade, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000649

8th grade po.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000659

use of condom and protection

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000660

sa ating 8th grade. And may we request

the DepEd to submit to

important investment we can make

of our students, which we

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000721

the exact amount appropriated for this ARAL program in the 2027 NEP,

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

Maraming salamat,

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

Madam Chair. Your Honor, Congressman Pleyto, salamat po sa inyong sinabing magandang salita tungkol sa amin sa DepEd.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000728

Regarding the ARAL program, there is a zero allotment for this under the 2027 budget.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000729

Unlike this year where there was an allotment of around 9 billion for the ARAL, the different aspects of the ARAL.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000730

So that is why we are requesting, or we proposed rather, during the budget call, 9.98 billion for implementation of the ARAL program.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000731

Broken down, 1.09 billion for compensation for 15,800 ARAL tutors, 6 billion for learning recovery and remediation consultations,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000732

1.25 billion for summer program tutors, 1.18 billion for external tutors.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000733

And 4.61 billion for ARAL learning resources, and 1.75 billion for the orientation of the tutors, and 94 million for program management, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000734

At maganda naman ang resulta ng ating programa because doon sa 6.7 million na pumasok po sa ARAL program,

we saw at the end of the school year, mayroong 4.5 million fewer struggling readers, at saka may 2.5 million doon sa 6.7 million

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000736

na umangat po sa grade level reading, so they are now reading at the right level.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000737

So these are a few of the achievements, at sa mga naikutan kong mga eskwelahan, iyon din ang kinukuwento po ng mga teachers at saka principals na effective po yung ARAL program.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000738

So again, nagpapasalamat po tayo sa Kongreso sa magandang batas na ito, at hopefully mapagbigyan dito sa mga requests, Your Honor.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

response.

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000741

Pangalawa po, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000742

Sapat ba ito, Secretary, to cover the whole program and the remuneration of teachers, para-teachers, who will serve as ARAL tutors.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000743

I believe this covers reading, math, and science.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000744

Also, these teachers are already carrying a tremendous workload in our public schools.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000745

If we are asking them to provide additional tutoring,

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000746

beyond their regular responsibilities, we must ensure that their regular responsibilities,

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000747

we must ensure that they are properly and fairly compensated.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000748

Madam Chair, Secretary, we cannot ask our teachers to close the learning gaps of our children while leaving a gap in the support we give to our teachers.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000749

Thank you, Madam Chair, Secretary.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000750

Madam Chair, thank you for the question.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000751

Kasama po sa request namin iyon, yung remuneration

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000754

ng ARAL teachers and tutors, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000755

3.5 billion ang total remuneration na ni-request po namin.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000756

Kasya na ba ito?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000757

Kasya na po.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000758

Kasya na po iyon, Your Honor.

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000759

Salamat po sa inyong tugon, Secretary.

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000760

Madam Chair and Secretary, may I manifest my support to allocate appropriate funding needed by DepEd

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000761

to successfully implement the ARAL program.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000762

It should be our priority to help our Filipino children to catch up,

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000763

learn better

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-000764

and regain their confidence

ating kalihim kung napakalaki

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000785

ng bawas

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000786

ng kanyang budget.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000787

Nakita, kung napansin ko po sa basic education, facilities, negative 64.2%.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000788

Government assistance to senior high school voucher program, 100%. Wala po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000789

School-based feeding program, negative 55%.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000790

Textbook and other instructional materials, negative 66.8%.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000791

This is compared to the 2026 GAA.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000792

Government assistance and subsidies, educational service contracting program for private junior high school, 100%.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000793

Wala na po. Zero.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000794

New school personal positions, negative 25%.

Para sa infrastructure for safer and resilient schools, a project of the World Bank, negative 75%.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000798

School innovation and improvement fund, negative, wala na, zero.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000799

Joint delivery voucher for senior high school, technical, vocational, and livelihood specialization, zero na rin po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000800

Anong po ba ang ibig sabihin nito? Maraming pang iba.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000801

Maraming salamat, Madam Chair, Congressman.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000802

Thank you very much for the kind words you mentioned.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000803

Pero tama po kayo, malaki po ang bawas sa budget.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000804

Pero nantindihan din po natin yung konteksto ng malaking budget ng 2026 na bunga din po,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000805

kumbaga bonanza ng flood control dahil yung 200 billion na napunta po sa edukasyon at health.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000806

And hopefully, magpatuloy po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000807

So, tama po kayo na nawala po yung mga pondong yun.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000808

And so, yung sa feeding, for example, nag-request po kami ng additional para ma-maintain lang po yung this year's level.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000809

Kasi this year, aside from universal kindergarten o lahat ng bata sa kindergarten ay pinapakain, pati grade 1 po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000810

So, napansin nga ng mga UNICEF at saka ng mga ibang international organizations na yung commitment ng Pilipinas sa foundational learning

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000811

and holistic learning.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000812

Holistic approach to learning.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000813

So, sana yun, maibalik po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000814

At kasi ang sakop din po ng feeding ngayon is 120 days under the 2027 budget.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000815

Hopefully, ma-extend yun sa 180 days, which is for the current school year or the current fiscal year.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000816

Kasi nga po, ang napansin namin is, tinitimbang natin yung mga bata at very successful yung feeding dahil,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000817

they gain weight.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000818

Pero, pagka meron pong butal or meron pong portion ng school year na hindi sila pinapakain,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000819

bumabalik din po sa dating tinbang.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000820

And, of course, the evidence is very strong also for improved learning outcomes,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000821

especially sa younger years.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000822

That's why we're focusing on kinder and grade 1.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000823

So, sana may balik po yun.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000824

Definitely, there's a proven connection or correlation between the feeding and the,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000825

the learning outcomes, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000826

So, that's just one aspect of the many programs that you mentioned.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000827

So, yung aral nga, as mentioned in the interchange with Congressman Plato,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000828

wala rin pondo, allotted funds for that.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000829

So, and then, ang gusto nga po natin is ma-expand yung aral program to math and science later on.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000830

Dahil yung nagawa po lang natin is reading, aral reading.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000831

And yet, napakaganda na po nung epekto.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000832

Dahil for the first time in history,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000833

at nagpapasalamat muli tayo sa Kongreso kay Pangulong Marcos,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000834

na merong programa, na merong tutors ang bawat estudyante ng public schools.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000835

First time nangyari po yan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000836

I know certain LGUs, certain schools, kumukuha ng sponsor para gawin yun.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000837

Pero it's the first time it was done on a system-wide basis.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000838

So, sana masustain yung momentum na ito.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000839

And at the same time, it's also,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000840

it's also an incentive, yung school feeding is also an incentive for attendance.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000841

Nakita natin, nag-improve din po yung attendance ng mga bata sa eskwelahan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000842

So, these are just two of the aspects of the, of, tapos yung voucher program,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000843

hindi naman na zero yung voucher program.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000844

Ano lang, nabawasan lang ng konti.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000845

So, that means less beneficiaries also.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000846

And as we know, the voucher program is also one way of decongesting

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000847

our congested public schools

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000848

by giving vouchers to nearby private schools in the area

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000849

para mabawasan po ng class size yung ating mga ibang public school, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000850

Sa data ko po, Secretary, 26 billion ng 2026.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000851

Ngayon po, zero.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000852

It was just consolidated, kaya siguro magmukhang nagbago ho.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000853

But it's consolidated, the consolidated program including the,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000854

the JDVP, the ESC, amounts to 38 billion,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000855

which is a decrease of around 3 billion from last year, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000856

Secretary, nabawasan din po ng negative din po yung government assistance and subsidies

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000857

for educational services.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000858

Zero na rin po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000859

Yan po, nabawasan ng 3 billion ho yung programang sinasabi din nyo, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000860

Secretary, alam nyo, ito po yung mga planado na yung programa.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000861

Meron na pong, gumugulong na itong programa, madaling ang implementation.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000862

May 58 billion for LGSF.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000863

Billion.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000864

Ito po, 10 billion lang.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000865

Maybe you can suggest to the President that bawasan na yung 58 billion na LGSF,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000866

na wala naman talaga.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000867

Wala pang plano.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000868

Pag-aalatsamba pa tayo doon, dito meron na talaga para sa mga kabataan.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000869

So maybe Congress can also consider that.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000870

Kasi po,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000871

kawawa naman yung mga kabataan natin.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000872

And,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000873

parami pong pangako ang Pangulo sa edukasyon.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000874

Ayan po, nilista ko lahat.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000875

Tutugunan ang kakulangan at kondisyon ng mga silid-aralan.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000876

Hindi pa rin po masyadong na-implement.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000877

Magtatayo ng 40,000 classrooms bago matapos ang termino sa 2028.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000878

Kaya pa po ba ito?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000879

Classrooms, o?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000880

Classrooms?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000881

Yes.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000882

Meron pong pangako na magtatayo ng 40,000 classrooms.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000883

Bago matapos ang termino sa 2028.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000884

Kaya pa po ito?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000885

Okay.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000886

Well, you know, on the average, Madam Chair, Your Honor,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000887

ang napafun ho nang ga-a for classrooms is around 5,000 approximately per year.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000888

Pero for this year, because dito nga sa historic budget na binigay ninyo po sa amin,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000889

we have around 60 billion for infra classrooms, new classrooms.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000890

So, that will...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000891

represent around 18,000 classrooms, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000892

Tapos meron ding sinasalang na PPP or Public-Private Partnership,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000893

which na-approve na ho ng NEDA or DepDev ICC,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000894

yung...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000895

How many?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000896

Another 16,000, ho.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000897

So, dito pa lang sa taong ito, ma-umpisahan na ho siguro yung 34,000.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000898

So, it's still a long way towards the...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000899

140 plus thousand classroom deficit that we have accumulated over the years.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000900

But definitely, it is the biggest attempt to make a dent or to improve upon the classroom deficit.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000901

So, kumbaga hindi siya business as usual, Your Honor, Mr. President.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000902

Madam Chair, talagang nag-i-effort si Pangulo and ang member ng Kongreso to solve this...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000903

years-old problem, Kong Egay.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000904

Yes, thank you, Secretary.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000905

Sa distrito ko po, mga 150 classrooms lang kukulang.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000906

Talagang bago mag-2028, baka matupad ni Pangulo sa kanyang pangako.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000907

Sa kalookan man lang.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000908

We will do that, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000909

Bibigyan ng laptop ang bawat public school teacher.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000910

Well, this year, we're giving...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000911

I think over 200,000...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000912

283,000 laptops, which, again, is not business as usual, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000913

We have about 870,000 teachers.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000914

This is the biggest single allocation in any year for our teachers.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000915

So, again, the question is sustainability.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000916

Dahil kung hindi natin masustain ito, hindi natin mabibigyan lahat.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000917

But definitely, in one year, we're giving almost one-third of the school teachers already.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000918

So, by end of the term, the President, kaya-kayang mabibigyan?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000919

Lahat ng laptop, yung mga teachers?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000920

Sa 2027 budget, there's funding only for 50,000 laptops, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000921

That's why we're requesting an additional 10B para ma-fulfill po yung pangako niya.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000922

How about yung pangako po na yung lowering of learning poverty para po sa ating basic education?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000923

Ano na po ba ang improvement?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000924

For example, in the...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000925

Well, this week, hopefully, we will be getting some good news.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000926

But we'll have to wait because the results of these exams are embargoed, Your Honor, until tomorrow.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000927

Hanggang bukas po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000928

Opo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000929

Dahil iuunang ng OECD yung pag-release po ng impormasyon.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000930

Kasi po, yung OECD standards, nung mga nakaraan, nasa mga 69% yung average sa mga kabataan sa buong mundo,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000931

tayo po, napakalayo natin. Hopefully, tomorrow, we will hear good news.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000932

Yes, Your Honor. Hopefully.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000933

Because the department has really been making an effort.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000934

At mismo si Pangulo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000935

Nung bagong appoint sa akin, sinabi niya na dapat pagbudihin po natin yung performance natin dyan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000936

At you're right. In 2018, we were the last of all the countries, I think of about 60 plus countries who participated.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000937

In 2022, we were third from the last of all the countries.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000938

So, hopefully...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000939

Hopefully, wala na tayo sa third, second, at last.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000940

Anyway, anyway po.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000941

So, pagdating naman po sa mga textbooks.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000942

And materials. Ano po ba ang improvement natin dyan?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000943

Again, Madam Chair, there is a historic allocation of over 20 billion for textbooks this year.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000944

So, yung pangarap po natin is, yung naabutan po kasi namin, yung isang textbook ay sineshare at pinapasa ng apat na batches ng mga bata.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000945

Kaya sinasabihan yung bata, huwag sulatan yung textbook, huwag iuwi dahil ipapasa pa niya yun.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000946

So, minsan, kung ikaw yung fourth batch, ang nakuha mo na ay warak-warak na po na libro.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000947

So, ang goal talaga natin is one textbook, one learner, your honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000948

And we're on our way to meet that, so definitely, it is not business as usual.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000949

At nadagdagan din po natin yung supplementary learning materials, which is not just the textbooks na dun sa mga klase ng mga bata.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000950

Pati yung mga libro na nasa library, at pwede silang iuwi-iwi ito.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000951

Dahil dati, hindi na iuwi ito dahil...

Source

Saka teacher pag nawawala, so ayaw na teacher pa uwi.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000953

Pero ngayon, hindi na natin ganun ang polisiya.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000954

They're free to bring it home and they're free to write also.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000955

We're encouraging them to write because there are studies which show that writing, handwriting aids memory retention, your honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000956

That's one of the biggest studies which came out recently.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000957

So, these are some of the developments in textbooks, your honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000958

At dati...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000959

Ang finding ng EDCOM, a little over parang 20, 27 textbooks in the last 10 years ang na-procure.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000960

In 2026, we procured 105 out of 105 titles, your honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000961

Ang challenge na lang namin is i-deliver on time.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000962

Dati nalilate ng one year.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000963

Siguro ngayon, malate na lang kami ng linggo o buwan na lang po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000964

So, yun. Pero I think before 2028, makuha na natin yun because we are working on early procurement, your honor.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000965

So, 37 seconds na lang ako.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

One last question.

asr-000968

Alam nyo, ang pinakamalaking problema ng education actually sa aking research, sa aking distrito,

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000969

ay yung parents, they're not so interested in the education of their children.

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000970

Maybe because of poverty, maybe because of other...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000971

Meron po bang DepEd na parang intervention?

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000972

When it comes to parenting dito sa ating mga...

Source

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

asr-000973

Especially in the elementary school.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000974

Thank you. Napakagandang tanong ho, [unclear].

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000975

Negative apps or websites that have a negative influence on him.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-000976

So, this has led many countries, in fact, to impose social media bans, your honor.

Rep. Edgar R. Erice

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

sa lahat ng mga ginagawa niyo.

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

Unfortunately, sabi niyo nga,

hindi pa enough.

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001007

Marami pang kulang.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001008

At least, unti-unti na atutugunan natin.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001009

Representing a poverty stricken district and province,

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001010

malaking bagay po sa amin yung sitwasyon

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001011

ng classroom shortage.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001012

Lalo sa distrito ko,

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001013

more than 700 pa yung shortage namin.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001014

Tapos yung needing

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001015

minor and major repairs,

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001016

more than a thousand.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001017

Gusto lang po naman kung ano yung updates

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001018

tungkol doon sa classrooms.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001019

We have signed MOAS with

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001020

about over 350 local government units,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001021

Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001022

Representing over 20 billion pesos worth of classrooms.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001023

Tapos yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001024

nabigay na rin po namin yung validated lists of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001025

ang good news siguro is that

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001026

the next batch of public-private partnership

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001027

will have a big focus on Mindanao.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001028

So we'll make sure that your district is included

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001029

because 700 is a big backlog for one district,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001030

Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001031

At we acknowledge that

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001032

Zamboanga Peninsula is one of the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001033

most poverty stricken areas of our country

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001034

and we will make an effort to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001035

really improve the educational situation there.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001036

Given that you don't have many cities,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001037

hindi mayayaman yung mga LGUs doon.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001038

So talagang, you're very reliant on national

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001039

government support.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001040

We acknowledge that, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001041

And we will take that into account in the funding of classrooms in the future, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001042

Knowing fully yung problema natin sa classrooms,

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001043

thankful tayo na maraming ginagawa.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001044

Pwede po kayang ma-increase natin yung budget natin for repairs of classrooms?

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001045

Kasi minsan may mga classrooms na needing repair,

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001046

eh pag hindi natin ni-repair, eh tutuloy lang masisira yun.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001047

So magco-construct naman tayo ng bago.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001048

Since mas mura naman mag-repair,

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001049

lalong-lalo na po sa mga poverty stricken na mga provinces.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001050

Maganda po yung puntos ninyo, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001051

Kasi madalas nababanggit yung backlog sa classrooms.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001052

Pero may backlog din tayo sa repairs.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001053

In fact, the backlog for repairs is probably more than the...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001054

And why is that?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001055

Because many of our classrooms are over 50 years old already.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001056

Kumbaga past the use date already.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001057

So pinagamit na lang natin dahil wala tayong...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001058

Pinagtsatsaga na lang po natin dahil wala pa po yung bagong classroom.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001059

So tama po kayo kung pwede po madagdagan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001060

Again, for this year, napakagandang budget po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001061

I think we had about 6 or 7 billion for repairs.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001062

So marami po tayong na-repair.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001063

But I think for 2027...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001064

There's 5 billion for the budget, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001065

So that's still higher than previous years, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001066

Where ang budget for repairs was just a few billion.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001067

So kung madagdagan pa ho, we would welcome that.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001068

Because as mentioned, talagang hindi napapansin masyado yung repairs deficit actually.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001069

Where we are holding off on condemning school buildings which already should be condemned.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001070

And perhaps are not as safe as they should be.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001071

Kung tinamaan po tayo ng mga sakuna, like nilindol po tayo,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001072

baka we will have unintended consequences, Your Honor, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001073

Madam Chair, isa sa mga problema namin, being very far from Metro Manila,

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001074

is yung mga materials natin dun sa amin, ang tagal dumating.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001075

So minsan, kawawa yung mga estudyante, medyo dehado na nga sa infrastructure.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001076

Dun ba sa learning materials, minsan ang tagal-tagal pang dumating.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001077

Baka po pwedeng ma-address natin?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001078

Yes, Your Honor. We're undertaking early procurement.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001079

And as mentioned, we've closed the gap in procuring textbooks.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001080

We're trying to close the gap in delivering textbooks on time, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001081

Pero dati, buwan at saka taon ang delay sa textbooks.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001082

Ngayon, linggo na lang. Pero unacceptable pa rin ho ito.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001083

We acknowledge and we will strive to do better, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001084

Last po, yung ano, meron po ba tayong program yung sa...

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001085

Kasi mga teachers natin, karamihan, although pinataasan natin yung sahod,

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001086

eh lagi namang problema natin yung sa mga pautang.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001087

So yung meron po ba tayong program yung sa...

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001088

So yung meron ba tayong program para ma-educate yung teachers natin?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001089

Yes, meron po tayong financial literacy programs that we encourage teachers.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001090

But of course, every month may trainings po tayo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001091

Pero siyempre, yung kultura nandun pa rin.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001092

At saka siyempre, ang kaibahan po ng teacher talagang hindi lang mga anak o asawang dependent sa kanya.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001093

Pati yung buong angkan, minsan nakaangkas dun sa ating mga guro.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001094

I think that's well known to our honorable legislators.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001095

But having said that, we're trying to find ways also.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001096

Isa dito is yung in-extend po natin yung maturity nung allowable loans.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001097

Dati-rati, five years ang maximum nung pwedeng i-payroll deduction.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001098

So hindi lumalampas ng five years.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001099

Sumulat po tayo sa BSP na i-extend po ito.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001100

Kaya pinayagan po ng BSP.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001101

Kaya seven years.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001102

Binaba po nung maraming financial institution o banko,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001103

ang nagbaba ng kanilang interest.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001104

At tumagal din po yung payment.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001105

Dahil makikita naman po natin, tumatagal din po ang ating mga teachers sa tenure nila.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001106

Many stay 10, 20, 30 years.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001107

So this is a more realistic option for them financially, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001108

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001109

Lastly po, yung nabanggit kanina ni Kong Erice na 150 ba yung backlog niya.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001110

Medyo naingit ako kasi yung sa amin 700 eh.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001111

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001112

Hindi kaya pwedeng yung mga mas maraming kulang eh mas maraming ma-allocate na school buildings?

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001113

Kasi minsan naingit kami yung ibang tao na wala, ibang distrito na konting-konti lang pare-pareho kami ng allocation every year eh.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001114

That's a good point, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001115

We will look into that and we'll work with you on that, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001116

Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001117

And good luck sa DepEd family.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001118

Maraming salamat sa suporta, Kong Adrian.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001119

Thank you po.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001120

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001121

Next to ask question is from the minority.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-001122

The Chair acknowledges Representative Antonio L. Tinio.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001123

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001124

Good morning po sa DepEd, kay Secretary Angara.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001125

Unang tanong tungkol po sa expanded career progression.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001126

So, from the field ang nakakarating po sa atin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001127

ng implementation and funding ng ECP 2025-2026.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001128

Ilan pa po yung backlog?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001129

Ilan pa po yung backlog na qualified na pero hindi pa napopromote dahil walang budget?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001130

Your Honor, Madam Chair, magandang umaga, Kong Tonjie.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001131

For 2026, there is a 6 billion budget given by Congress.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001132

And this is enough to promote 82,000 of our teachers and school heads, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001133

And in 2027, there is a 12 billion budget.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001134

And this should answer for the promotions of 135,000 school heads.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001135

So, hindi po equal yung...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001136

Kasi yung minsan, sa tagal nang hindi sila napromote,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001137

they are not only being promoted ng isang rangpo,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001138

hindi minsan dalawa, tatlo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001139

So, teacher 1, nagiging teacher 4.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001140

Teacher 4, nagiging teacher...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001141

We made new positions, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001142

So, teacher 6, gano'n minsan may gano'n.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001143

Hindi lang isang rangpo po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001144

So, 82,000 promotions were...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001145

82,000 promotions were funded for 2026.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001146

That's correct, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001147

Pero ilan yung nag-iintay pa ng funding?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001148

Qualified na pero nag-iintay pa ng funding?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001149

Mga, there are about 100,000 still waiting and entitled to the promotions, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001150

Okay. So, in other words, may qualified na sila, 100,000.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001151

They went through the process pero nag-iintay pa ng funding.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001152

So...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001153

Kailan po sila mapupondohan?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001154

In 2027, Your Honor, because we only have 6 billion for this year, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001155

Okay. So, again, for 2027, ang target niyo po ay...

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001156

That's good for...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001157

135,000, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001158

135,000. So, yung 100,000 dun ay para lang dun sa backlog.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001159

Opo.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001160

So, in effect, for 2027, the new promotions will be for 35,000.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001161

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001162

Okay. So, medyo maglilimit muna for 2027.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001163

Tama ho. Nag-ahabol talaga tayo dahil for many years, wala hong na-promote.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001164

Tama naman po iyon. At mabuti po at napatutupad na ito.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001165

Just a particular concern regarding headteachers.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001166

May mga headteacher na school head na nagpaabot sa atin.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001167

Nagpaabot sa atin na niri-reassign na sila away from being school heads.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001168

Samantala, sa inyong guidelines, they have, I think, 2 years more na manatili sila at magpa-qualify bilang principal.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001169

So, pwede po bang ma-reiterate yung policy na iyon? Kasi nga ang concern nila, ba't inaalis na sila?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001170

Niri-reassign na sila from being school heads.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001171

It's purely voluntary, I believe, Your Honor. And they're allowed 2 years. That's what the law provides, Your Honor.

Source

Pero meron nga mga divisions na nagpaabot sa amin na involuntarily niri-reassign sila or may banta na niri-reassign na sila.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001173

We will reiterate the policy, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001174

Thank you, please. Dahil nagpaabot po iyong mga headteachers. Okay.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001175

Kaugnay po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001176

sa teacher shortage.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001177

So,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001178

yung classroom shortage, 166,000. Kanina you mentioned 140,000. Okay. So, meron kayong figure. Pero sa teacher shortage, wala tayong concrete number and target.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001179

Madam Chair, Your Honor, the shortage is 14,274 teachers, costing around 4.29 billion. So, this is part of the wish list we mentioned earlier, Your Honor.

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001180

So sa inyong bilang

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

Could you explain

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-001209

why zero?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001210

Because

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001211

in fairness to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001212

We got 32,000

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001213

this year,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001214

which is above

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001215

the average

hiring,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001217

Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001218

I think which

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001219

average is around

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001220

average is about

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001221

20,000.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001222

So this year,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001223

we received 32,000

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001224

which is 12,000

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001225

over the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001226

average of 20,000.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001227

But unfortunately,

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001228

wala pa po.

But we're hoping

baka

hindi ba mostly

asr-001240

that's for

ang next question ko po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001263

ay

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001264

nanggaling na rin po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001265

mismo sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001266

Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001267

Mula sa 5,000

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001268

guidance counselor

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001269

positions na nakabukas,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001270

1,000 lang po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001271

ang nakapunan.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001272

And if we're correct,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001273

this means na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001274

merong mga nakalaan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001275

for these positions

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001276

na hindi na-fill.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001277

Pwede po bang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001278

ma-explain

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001279

ang Department of Education

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001280

magkano ba

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001281

ang nakalaan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001282

noong mga taong ito

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001283

at bakit merong

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001284

ganitong kalaking gap

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001285

na hindi

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001286

na-punan?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001287

You're correct,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001288

Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001289

There's over

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001290

3,000 vacant

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001291

positions dyan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001292

Wala talagang takers,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001293

Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001294

Kaso,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001295

merong pondo,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001296

merong posisyon,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001297

and there's hiring

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001298

but there's no

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001299

there's no taker,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001300

Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001301

Because siguro,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001302

yung field

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001303

for a start

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001304

is very narrow already.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001305

Iilan lang

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001306

ang nakakatapos

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001307

ng

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001308

ang qualified

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001309

na guidance counselor

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001310

pursuant to the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001311

professional requirement

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001312

which requires

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001313

a master's degree,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001314

Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001315

So,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001316

iilan lang po talaga.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001317

And,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001318

I guess for those

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001319

who graduate with

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001320

a master's degree,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001321

naliliitan sila sa sweldo,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001322

siguro,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001323

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001324

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001325

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001326

naalala ko,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001327

ito rin yung tanong natin

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001328

last year,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001329

ito rin yung sagot,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001330

and na-mention na may

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001331

long-term plan

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001332

na may implementation

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001333

that will cost

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001334

over a trillion pesos.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001335

Pwede po bang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001336

makareceive ng copy

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001337

ng plan na to?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001338

Will it,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001339

ano po bang

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001340

kailangan gawin?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001341

Para mas mataas yung supply and even yung takers ng ating mga psychology courses, ito po ba yung kasama at papasok sa plan na binapropose ng Department of Education?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001342

Well, we're trying to, the long-term plan is really to create a pipeline of mental health professionals, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001343

I think that's the vision also of the law that Congress passed.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001344

So, hindi tayo dead-end sa guidance counselors lang.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001345

We have positions like guidance counselor associate, school counselor associate.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001346

Para there is a progression.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001347

But at some point, we also have to discuss with DBM raising the salary scales for these professionals because yung market forces are not working in our favor, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001348

And siguro yung last question on this line of inquiry.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001349

May, as you said, 10,000 guidance counselor associates ang kanilang target this year na at naaprubahan ng DBM.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001350

And in their presentation, 1,800 SCAs and 221 SDO counselors.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001351

Lang ang nakalaan for FY2027.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001352

Is this correct?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001353

And are we expecting that these 10,000 SCA roles will be filled by this year, 2026?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001354

Kaya halos 20% na lang ng target ang nakalaan para sa susunod na taon?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001355

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001356

We're working on that.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001357

And as mentioned earlier, during an earlier [unclear], we shortened the period for hiring, which normally takes three to four months.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001358

Ginawa na lang natin 30 days para talagang ma-irush natin i-fill yung mga posisyon.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001359

If once available, Madam Chair, we'd like to request a copy ng progress report ng hiring para ma-fill itong 10,000 positions.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001360

We will be happy to provide it, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001361

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001362

Madam Chair, my next question would be in relation tungkol po sa effect ng mga mental health issues na to,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001363

yung dire need of the mental health programs because nakikita na po natin yung consequences niya,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001364

which is kung ang kabataan ay hindi po...

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001365

natutukan na whether that's at the school, at the community, at the home, may confusion, may pain, may mental health issues na nararanasan sila.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001366

At nakita natin recently yung externalizing nitong pain and confusion na to in the form of school shooting.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001367

At syempre nakikidalamhati tayo sa lahat ng mga biktima ng trahedyang ito, ngunit hindi sapat yung dalamhati.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001368

Kung hindi, nag-re-reflect po ito ng real reality na consequence ng kakulangan ng budget sa pamahalaan.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001369

Madam Chair, I'd like to ask for an update tungkol po sa school shooting drills na isinagawa nung September 3.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001370

Pwede po bang malaman kung paano po napupondohan at nasusuportahan ng Department of Education yung mga drills na ito?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001371

It comes from the school MOOE, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001372

Not OSEC, Madam Chair.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001373

No, no, ma'am.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001374

Pero is it plugged under the MOOE or [unclear]?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001374-split-2

MOOE, ma'am, ang funding source niya.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001375

And maganda naman ho, dahil...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001376

If you will recall, Madam Chair, Your Honor, we postponed the school drill in response to the call of the Psychiatrists Association na huwag na sanang tumuloy because of the possible trauma.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001377

So we toned down the drill just to ensure that there is a system response, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001378

Mahirap naman ho yung talagang magulat tayo kung nangyari.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001379

Alam na natin nangyari, tapos hindi pa natin paghahandaan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001380

Ang gusto talaga nila.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001381

Yes, huwag mag-drill at all.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001382

But we met with them and lahat nung suggestions, as many of their suggestions that we could incorporate, inincorporate po natin.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001383

And tama ko kayo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001384

Siguro, we should have paid more attention to this earlier.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001385

And there's a lot...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001386

And I mentioned earlier yung use of social media.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001387

This is really something which hurts our youth, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001388

The unabashed and unrestricted use of social media.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001389

Not all social media.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001390

Your Honor, I want to qualify.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001391

But social media which introduces our youth to pernicious influences.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001392

Yung tinatawag na nihilistic violent associations.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001393

Yung 764, which we saw in the Tacloban shooting.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001394

Yung mga terrorist groups.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001395

Yung osaek or sexual predators.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001396

So these are all...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001397

Sabi nga nila, a sociologist said,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001398

We've been so busy protecting our children.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001399

From external influences, we forgot to protect them internally, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001400

And so it's time to, again, play catch up.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001401

And I thank you for your concern.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001402

I think this is probably one of the most important issues DepEd has to face, in addition to the learning outcomes.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001403

In trying to improve our learning outcomes.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001404

Building the sense of community in a school.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001405

But we have to say, we need the help of the whole society.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001406

We are willing to do our share.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001407

But we also need parents to be involved.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001408

We need families to be involved.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001409

We need the barangays to be involved.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001410

Kasi nga, yung pangalawang tahanan yung mga skwelahan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001411

Pero hindi natin makontrol yung ginagawa sa pangunahing tahanan, Your Honor, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001412

Madam Chair, can I ask kung na-finalize na po ba ng DepEd yung guidelines na binababa niya sa mga schools sa paggawa ng mga drills?

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001413

So siyempre, na-appreciate natin

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001414

yung

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001415

adjustment

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001416

na hindi na po siya

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001417

active shooter drills.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001418

I'd like to note ang studies po na nakita natin from the United States itself na nagkondukt ng mga drills na ito and mas frequent yung shooting na nangyayari sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001419

May caution na pinapa-emphasize sa lahat ng mga magiging implementing

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001420

agencies ng mga drills na ito.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001421

because the effectiveness of these is thin and difficult to establish while evidence of psychological and behavioral harm.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001428

Yes, Madam Chair. Thank you. Nag-issue na po tayo, and this issuance took into account the outputs

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001429

of the medical associations, as you mentioned, Your Honor, at pinakita rin namin sa kanila yung issuances natin.

uh but definitely we're

it's it's i think it's still a work in progress in the sense that it's it's all new to us

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001432

and uh we're really trying to get the right balance because uh uh admittedly it uh it's

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001433

a very delicate uh uh subject your honor and uh um there's no saying how an an individual

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001434

student will react to such a drill so uh we're and we're willing to i think what's important

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001435

is that DepEd is willing to iterate and change approaches over time to see what really is

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001436

effective.

asr-001437

Your Honor. Madam Chair, as a final manifestation, if I may be allowed, this

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001438

representation is of the firm belief that the solution to ensure that this doesn't happen again

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001439

should be more funding for our mental health programs so we welcome yung finally my item na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

for the mental health and guidance counseling program

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

But

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-001444

but uh studies have shown and we have to carefully scrutinize them as well that securitizing the

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

outcomes of further

ilan po ngayon ang

ang unfilled

para

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001477

na rin

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001478

malinaw sa ating mga bagong graduates at late passers, kapag may available teaching position, ano po ba ang proseso saan makikita ng applicants ang lahat na available position at ang resulta ng kanilang assessment or ranking?

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001479

Tinatanong po natin ito dahil sa katandawanis po, proud tayo na marami tayong education na graduates, late passers, at mahusay na teachers.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001480

Pero nakakatanggap po tayo ng report na may applicants na sinasabing walang available na plantilla item.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001481

Pero kalaunan may mga na-hire.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001482

May reklamo rin po na hindi pinapakita sa aplikante ang ranking at ang nakakalungkot pa, may allegation patabi, may allegation na may teaching slot daw na ibinibinta o hiningian ng kapalit.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001483

Nangyayari pa pa po ito sa atin ngayon? May kaparyong concern din po pagdating sa promosyon.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001484

Na kagaya po na sinabi ng ating buting sekretary na may pundo naman po ito, may mga qualified personnel pero hindi naging malinaw sa kanila ang ranking basis o seleksyon kung bakit may ibang napipili.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001485

Namumonitor ba ito ng DPED ang ganitong mga cases? Paano po natin sinisiguro na lahat ng vacancies, ranking selections, at appointments ay transparent at naayon sa merit ng qualification?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001486

Thank you, Madam Chair, Your Honor. Maraming hong tanong doon. But you're talking about two different things, Your Honor, yung teaching at saka yung promotions, yung teaching items at saka yung promotions.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001487

Doon sa teaching items, there are 962 authorized and 58,000 vacant teaching items, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001488

Yung vacancies na yan, or bakikita po yung sa registry of qualified applicants sa bawat division office po, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001489

Tapos doon sa...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001490

Doon naman po sa promotions, talagang sobra po yung aplikante doon sa pondo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001491

So, ang naging priority dyan is first in, first out po talaga.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001492

Pagka sino yung talagang unang mag-process, kung sino yung masigasig na mag-process ng division, usually yun ang nakakuha ng pondo na nasa region.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001493

And doon naman po sa sinabi ninyong items for sale, meron hong na kami nakita dyan sa Palawan, sa Eastern Samar.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001494

And we suspended both the school division superintendent in both cases.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001495

And we have filed cases...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001496

Sorry, we've dismissed pala, hindi lang suspended.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001497

We've dismissed both SDS or school division superintendent in both cases.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001498

Kaya pag meron po kayong nakita at i-report niyo po sa amin, mag-iimbestiga po kami dito dahil hindi natin policy yan sa department.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001499

Siguro, Mr. Secretary, Madam Chair, siguro mag-iimbestiga.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001500

Mag-iimbestiga na lang tayo kasi may mga narinig lang tayo.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001501

So, bala na po ang department na mag-iimbestiga po sa...

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001502

Kasi po, sana po, matinan agad ito ng dipid, mga ganitong reklamo, lalo na sa aming probinsya.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001503

Napakarami pong qualified teacher pero hindi po sila nabibigyan ng patas ng pagkakatawad.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001504

So, sayang po.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001505

At napipilitan sila mga ibang bansa.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001506

So, pumasok sa trabawang hindi naman po nila pinag-aralan.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001507

So, sayang po, ang talento na dapat sana ay nasa ating classroom po sila.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001508

Madam Chair, ina-acknowledge ko rin po ang import ng ating dipid na tugunan ang classroom shortage.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001509

Pero habang tinuturugunan po natin ito, sana hindi po.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001510

Sana hindi po nila pinuturugunan ng repair, improvement ng ating existing school, lalo yung nasira nung nakarambag at habagat.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001511

Magkano po ang proposed 2027 budget na nakalampara sa repair, rehabilitation ng existing school, including improvements gaya ng CRs, hand-washing water, sanitation facilities?

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001512

Sapat po ba ang budget natin dito para sa target nating makumplis?

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-001513

Paano po ang prioritization?

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

Dito natin sa mga nangailangan ng tulong, sana po ay priority natin ang disaster-prone provinces.

Sa

kasalukuyang taon na

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001673

SIG, mayroon tayong budget.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001674

Na 89.9 billion

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001675

para sa Child Protection

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001676

Program. But I have

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001677

noticed na sa 2027,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001678

zero po tayo.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001679

Bakit po?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001680

Million lang po yung budget, hindi billion.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001681

And it's been

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001682

merged with the Learner Support.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001683

89 million lang ba to?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001684

Hindi ito billion?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001685

Pero ngayon,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001686

ganito na lang, SIG.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001687

Nagamit na po ba natin

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001688

tong

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001689

yung 89 million

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001690

sa kasalukuyang?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001691

Portion ho. May naiiwan pa ho.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001692

Ano po yung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001693

specific na

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001694

program or activity

pinaggagamitan natin

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001698

Program na to?

Source

asr-001699

Training po ng teachers ito

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001700

while waiting for hiring, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001701

Ano po yun?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001702

Madam Chair, ano po yan?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001703

The conduct of trainings and orientation

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001704

on the Anti-Bullying Act and Department

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001705

on Ensuring a Safe and Motivating

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001708

Learning Environment, during which

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001709

the provisions of the roles of school counselors

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001710

and associates and learning

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001711

formation officers are discussed,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001712

as well as the specific acts of bullying,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001713

sanctions, and the proper reportorial,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001714

referral, and appeal processes.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001715

Secondly, is the classroom

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001716

based discussion on bullying, including

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001717

cyberbullying. Pangatlo po, yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001718

development and printing of advocacy materials.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001719

Pangapat po, yung establishment

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001720

of a reporting helpline, or

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001721

a learner's telesafe contact center

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001722

helpline, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001723

Maganda naman po yung mga

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001724

program. So,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001725

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001726

aspect siya.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001727

However, bakit po

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001728

zero siya sa 2027,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001729

Madam Chair?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001730

Nawala lang yung specific line niya.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001731

Pero, minerge po siya sa

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001732

Learner Support Services, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001733

So, hindi siya nawala. Yung linya lang po yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001734

nawala. Nasama lang siya sa mas malaking

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001735

budget po.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001736

Pero, may

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001737

maibibigay po ba

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001738

kayong example? Ano yung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001739

paggamitan nito?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001740

Kasi, parang

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001741

pataas yung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001742

there's a

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001743

what I have noticed

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001744

yung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001745

rising, maybe,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001746

mali yung terminology ko,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001747

not necessarily rising.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001748

Yung nadadagdagan

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001749

yung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001750

incident nung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001751

natin, school

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001752

violence.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001752-split-2

Tama, tama po

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001753

kayo. Nadadagdagan nga po talaga yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001754

school violence. And, as

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001755

mentioned in the earlier discussions, hindi lang

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001756

security aspect po ito, pati yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001757

mental health aspect, yung building of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001758

a school community. So, yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001759

paggagastusan, yun pa rin, yung binasa

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001760

po kanina, yung four aspects.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001761

Yung capacity building, yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001762

development of advocacies, yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001763

upgrading the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001764

teleseat hotline,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001765

hiring more field personnel,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001766

lahat yun, kasama po yun. So,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001767

magamat wala na po yung line item,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001768

nandoon pa rin yung mga programa.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001769

May, may,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001770

ano ba yan? Kasama ba

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001771

dyan yung halimbawa

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001772

pang sahod sa mga

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001773

sabihin na natin

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001774

security aid,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001775

doon sa mga school lahat?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001776

Wala. Ibang item po yun.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001777

Opo. Usually sa school,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001778

MOE kinukuha yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001779

security guard.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001780

At minsan,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001781

pumipinupondohan po yun ng local government unit,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001782

especially sa mga cities.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001783

But we're also requesting for that.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001784

It's part of the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001785

wish list na binanggit po natin earlier,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001786

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001787

Thank you, Sik, for the info.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001788

Dito sa child

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001789

care and

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001790

development, yung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001791

ECCD natin,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001792

di ba nailipat na siya sa

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001793

DILJ?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001793-split-2

That's correct, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001794

So, bilang

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001795

chair nito,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001796

nagagamit pa ba natin?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001797

Parang, ano na siya?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001798

Hindi na po tayo

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001799

ang pangunahing chair dyan,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001800

dahil sa bagong batas,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001801

co-chair na lang po tayo. The lead agency

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001802

is the DILG. So, it's

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001803

now lodged as an attached agency of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001804

DILG, Your Honor. Pero yung responsibility

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001805

ng DEPED, nandyan dyan pa po

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001806

dun sa curriculum development,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001807

so dumadaan mo sa amin yung curriculum,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001808

at

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001809

we attend the meetings pa rin. We're part of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001810

the ECCD Council as co-chair,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001811

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001812

Sa assessment po ba, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001813

ng DEPED, kailangan pa natin to?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001814

Definitely,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001815

Your Honor, dahil nakita

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001816

natin, tumataas ho yung incidents

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001817

ng

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001818

malnutrition

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001819

and stunting sa, nakita natin yan

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001820

sa FNRI survey.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001821

So, maganda nga yung school feeding program natin,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001822

pero yung, sabi nga ng mga eksperto,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001823

Good morning,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001824

Chairman Miro.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001825

Nakita natin sa mga

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001826

pag-aaral

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001827

na yung most effective feeding

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001828

is in the early child years, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001829

So, ang isang proposal namin sa Kongreso

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001830

is i-amend yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001831

school feeding law.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001832

Dahil, merong mga bakanti

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001833

ho dun eh. Merong may funding for

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001834

2 to 3, pero wala yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001835

or 3 to, may isang taon

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001836

na wala dun, hindi nababanggit sa.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001837

At saka kung makita ho natin,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001838

yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001839

porsyento ng kabataan

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001840

na nasa daycare centers, ay maliit

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001841

kumpara sa total population.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001842

So, naglalaro yan sa 19 to 29%.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001843

So, definitely,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001844

dapat nga mas maging masigasig

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001845

yung pag-suporta natin sa

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001846

ECCD. At syempre, dapat mas

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001847

maging masigasig din sila sa pag-implementa

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001848

ng kanilang mga program.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001849

Your Honor. Perhaps not

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001850

a council, maybe you can look into

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001851

creating a full-time body

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001852

to really look at it. Kasi,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001853

ang dami pa rin

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001854

4th, 5th class municipalities na walang

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001855

daycare centers.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001856

So,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001857

hirap din si DSWD bagdili.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001858

Sila po yung in-charge dun sa feeding

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001859

below 5 years old, along with

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001860

the National Nutrition Council. So, yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001861

mga programa na first 1,000 days,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001862

yung programa na

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001863

supplemental feeding,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001864

hindi, manaiba po yun

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001865

sa school feeding, yun ang mga dapat na

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001866

programang palakasin ho.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001867

So, bottom line,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001868

talagang kailangan pa siya.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001869

Kailang,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001870

mayroon tayong

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001871

kailangang amindahan na batas

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001872

para doon sa pondo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001873

Maganda amin, dagdagan

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001874

ng pondo. Maganda rin,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001875

siguro yung monitoring, dahil

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001876

yung responsibility, parang ano siya,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001877

scattered. May responsibility

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001878

si LGU para mag-construct ng daycare

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001879

center, may responsibility

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001880

si DSWD na magpakain,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001881

pero parang walang

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001882

isang agency na nakatoka sa lahat.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001883

It's theoretically the ECCD Council,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001884

pero walang masyadong coercive powers

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001885

ang ECCD Council,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001886

kung tutusin natin.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001887

Thank you, Sik, for the input.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001888

Doon sa non-teaching natin,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001889

kasi ito yung pinakamalapit

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001890

sa puso ko, noong

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001891

first term ko dito, kami ni

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001892

Kung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001893

Franz Castro talagang

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001894

nag-

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001895

dito.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001896

May mga

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001897

report na kada-thing sa akin na

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001898

karamihan cluster,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001899

yung isang non-teaching,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001900

tatlo-apat na eskwilahan,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001901

mayroon po ba tayong ganyan?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001902

Tama ho kayo,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001903

Your Honor, Madam Chair.

Source

By the end of this year,

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001907

sa buong bansa po yan,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001908

Sik?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001908-split-2

Yes, sir.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001909

Hindi natuloy, singilin mo itong

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001910

katabi kong bumubulong sa akin.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001911

Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001912

Kasi yung nag-report sa akin,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001913

para na rin

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001914

hindi siya nagtatrabaho, kasi yung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001915

sahod niya, nauubos sa pamasahin.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001916

Kalipat-lipat sa eskwilahan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001917

That's true, Your Honor, I think.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001918

Tsaka minsan malalayo yung lugar talaga.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001919

So hindi practical talaga na may ganong

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001920

clustering. But it's a temporary

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001921

problem, I think we can address it in the future, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001922

Thank you. Magandang balita po yan.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001923

Finally,

asr-001924

finally,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001925

ah,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001926

Madam Chair, no?

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001927

Gusto ko lang susugan yung

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001928

concern ni

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001936

na siya mula pagpasa

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001937

niya ng, ano, ng LIT.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001938

Walong taon na hindi lang niya alam,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001939

hindi nga niya alam kung

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001940

anong resulta sa ranking niya.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001941

Sumulat na ako.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001942

Kaya anong tinawagan ko ngayon,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001943

sabi niya,

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001944

nabigyan na raw siya ng

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001945

item last week.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001946

Yung mga ganun matagal,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-001947

bigayin nyo na lang sa akin para kaya nga

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001948

umagahin. May mga ganun talaga.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001949

May mga ganun. Hindi ko na lang

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001950

babanggitin yung division office.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001951

Kawawa yung tao

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001952

kasi umiiyak pumunta sa bahay na

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001953

kahit i-inform lang siya

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001954

kung ano yung ranking niya.

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001955

Biruin mo, 2018

Source

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001956

pa siya nag-tick

Rep. Sergio C. Dagooc

asr-001957

ng ranking process.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

Good morning, good morning.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002006

Um, ano lang po, let me,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002007

allow me po to

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002008

say this again. Alam ko ilang beses na po

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002009

na-mention ng mga colleagues po about the safety

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002010

of our kids sa mga skwelahan, but

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002011

let me ask po the Dep. Ed,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002012

ano po sa mga

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002013

proposals nyo

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002014

for the budget of year 2027

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002015

with regards to this po

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002016

para maiwasan ulit yung

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002017

pagganap ng mga school shootings and school

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002018

violence, ang hindi po napondohan

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002019

sa NEP for year 2027?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002020

We're proposing

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002021

an additional 400 million

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002022

for training and capacity

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002023

building of our

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002024

people in mental health, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002025

And we're proposing

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002026

an additional line item of 8 billion for

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002027

security guards,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002028

metal detectors,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002029

perimeter fences, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002030

Ito pong school and

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002031

safety and security, yung security

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002032

guards and metal detectors, napag-aralan

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002033

niyo po ba ito na pag naglagay

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002034

po tayo nito, talagang magiging deterrent po siya?

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002035

Na hindi maulit yung mga violences

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002036

sa mga para lang?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002037

Well, it's not as simple as a one, just

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002038

pointing to one. It's a

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002039

combination of factors, Your Honor, and we've seen

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002040

schools talaga na kung saan

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002041

matindi yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002042

guarding of the entry and exit

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002043

points. We see a lot of knives

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002044

being thrown in the wastebasket,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002045

in the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002046

periphery.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002047

So, ibig sabihin, kung may

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002048

gustong lumusot, at kung wala yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002049

mga security items na yun,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002050

baka malamang may mga nakalusot po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002051

In fact, even when we have these

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002052

items, or when we have these

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002053

deterrents, sometimes

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002054

nilulusotan pa rin po eh. Yung isang

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002055

insidente, nilagay po sa sapatos.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002056

Yung isa, nilagay po sa thermos.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002057

Kaya tumunog nga sa

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002058

metal detector. Pero, nasa loob

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002059

ng thermos, pinakita lang yung thermos, hindi na tinignan

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002060

yung loob. Yung isa naman, nilagay sa

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002061

underwear po. So, talagang

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002062

I think

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002063

they're really individuals

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002064

who really are very determined to harm.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002065

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002065-split-2

So, I think malaking tulong

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002066

pa rin po ito, no,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002067

Mr. Secretary, na mapondohan po

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002068

itong mga for security natin

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002069

and safety sa mga schools.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002070

Also,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002071

Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002072

I know yung

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002073

schools, counselor

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002074

associates natin na 10,000

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002075

na napondohan po last year.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002076

May additional po na 1,800 ngayon.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002077

Kamusta po yung

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002078

utilization rate natin doon sa 10,000?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002079

We're in the process

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002080

of hiring, Your Honor, because the background

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002081

to that is we only received the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002082

qualification standard which allows us

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002083

to hire about June 30

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002084

from the Civil Service Commission.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002085

So, that was the only time when we were able to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002086

commence the hiring process, Your Honor,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002087

which, as mentioned in earlier

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002088

interpellations, we've shortened from 3 to 4 months

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002089

to 30 days, Your Honor. So,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002090

ongoing na po yung hiring ng

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002091

various regions. It's a very high

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002092

priority item for all the regions, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002093

So, as of now po, it's 10,000

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002094

plus 1,800.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002095

Pero ang target po ba natin talaga

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002096

is one for every school

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002097

in the entire country, which is about

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002098

48,000, if I'm not mistaken.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002099

Tama po kayo. That's correct, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002100

So, yung po ang target natin, 48,000 talaga

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002101

na positions. But as of now, we only

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002102

have 11,800

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002103

for year 2027.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002104

Sa tingin niyo po,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002105

kailan natin mahihit yung target

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002106

natin na lahat po ng schools

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002107

magkaroon ng school

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002108

counselor associates?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002109

Well, if we only give 1,800 a year,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002110

it may take us 20 years,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002111

Your Honor, to reach that.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002112

That's the reality.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002113

Pero po, ano po yung proposal natin for

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002114

NEP 2027?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002114-split-2

We are asking for each part of our

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002115

wish list, Your Honor, to fill up the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002116

30,000 plus schools in the amount

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002117

of 11.4 billion. It's part of the wish list.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002118

One school counselor associate

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002119

per school, no?

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002120

So, 11.48 billion.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002121

That's correct, Ma'am.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002122

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002123

I think, wala naman po

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002124

talagang ano eh.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002125

Limit yan kung talagang safety po

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002126

ng mga bata natin yung

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002127

nakasalalay.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002128

Aside from that po,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002129

Your Honor, last year,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002130

I already raised a concern about

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002131

completed and inaugurated

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002132

school buildings that still lack

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002133

the necessary school furniture.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002134

And I believe for year 2026,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002135

yung mga LGU

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002136

implemented

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002137

schools may kasama na pong

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002138

furniture, am I correct?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002139

That's correct. It's supposed to be

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002140

bundled with the schools, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002141

However, Your Honor,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002142

in my province po, in the district,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002143

for year 2024, hindi pa rin po

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002144

na de-deliver yung mga

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002145

furniture natin. And I believe

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002146

central office po ang procurement,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002147

am I correct?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002147-split-2

We'll coordinate with you, Ma'am,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002148

to address these shortages.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002149

Sige po.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002150

And also po, yung mga upcoming

Source

asr-002151

din po na 2024 na hindi pa tapos

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002152

and 2025,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002153

is it also centrally

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002154

managed, the procurement?

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002155

The procurement and the delivery?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002156

It's with DPWH, Your Honor, yung completion.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002157

Ah, of the furniture?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002158

Ah, sorry, sorry.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002159

That's for the classrooms, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002160

For the furniture, nasa amin po.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002161

May I ask po, ano po yung cause ng mga delay na to?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002162

I think nagbago po

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002163

ng design. And we were

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002164

trying to comply with the executive order

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002165

issued during the time of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002166

President Arroyo that 20% of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002167

the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002168

school furniture must be,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002169

must be engineered bamboo, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002170

So, nahirapan kami sourcing it throughout

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002171

the country. Parang kulang yung supply po, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002172

So, yung po yung nagiging one of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002173

the reasons kung bakit nagkakaroon ng delay.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002174

Yung 20%

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002175

na dapat bamboo ang gamitin

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002176

na materials. That's one of the reasons, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002177

Ah, okay. So,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002178

can we get, ano po,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002179

assurance po

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002180

from the DepEd na

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002181

yung mga backlog po, actually

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002182

as far as 2018, may mga backlogs

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002183

po po kami eh. Dahil naawa din po

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002184

ako kasi ang ganda-ganda ng mga classrooms natin

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002185

and then yung mga tables

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002186

and chairs, yung mga furniture na ginagamit,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002187

mga luma at mga makeshift lang.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002188

Can we get assurance po

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002189

from the DepEd?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002189-split-2

We assure you, ma'am, that we'll work

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002190

very closely with you to address that.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002191

May pondo po ba for year 2027

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002192

for yung mga backlog? Or lahat po yan

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002193

napondohan na?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002194

Merong 2.94 billion

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002195

for next year.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002196

But how about po yung mga backlogs?

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002197

May need po

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002198

ba for additional funding?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002199

For this year only, we had 3.69

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002200

billion. So, we'll be,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002201

I think that's being procured, no?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002202

If I'm not mistaken. So, we'll have a

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002203

new fresh batch of furniture coming in and

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002204

we'll make sure there's an allotment for your district.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002205

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002206

Lastly po,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002207

for the PPP,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002208

ano po yung

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002209

selection process and criteria

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002210

for choosing which schools

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002211

ang mapapasok natin for the PPP?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002212

For the large,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002213

largely based on congestion, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002214

So, a lot of the first batch of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002215

PPPs were, I think, urban

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002216

urban-based cities

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002217

kung saan talaga masisikip.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002218

Kaya dun sa 1,000 plus sites,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002219

I think around 600

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002220

will require demolition. Kasi yun talaga

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002221

yung walang lupa.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002222

But the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002223

need keeps growing year after year.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002224

So, pag hindi natin

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002225

agapan, it will spiral out

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002226

of control, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002227

For the PPP po,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002228

saan po magsastart yung

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002229

list na under PPP for

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002230

2026?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002231

I think we're targeting for

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002232

the first 3,000 batch of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002233

what we call PCIP 3.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002234

Because the first PCIP 1 and 2 were during the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002235

Aquino administration. This is PCIP 3.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002236

That's 16,000

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002237

classrooms. The first batch of 3,000, we're hoping

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002238

to, or rather all 16,000

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002239

we're hoping to award by December

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002240

2026, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002241

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002242

Are you aware po,

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002243

Secretary? Kasi there are a few

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002244

school buildings po that were funded

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002245

in the GAA and also

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002246

funded also under the PPP

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002247

for 2026.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002248

Paano po natin yan

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002249

ma-address yung duplications?

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002250

Because there are some duplications po.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002251

Actually, that's the reason why

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002252

I'm asking kung paano po na-identify

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002253

yung mga PPP. Kasi medyo

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002254

nag-double po for some of the

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002255

school sites.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002256

Nauna po kasi yung PPP,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002257

although it's a little slower because

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002258

there are many regulatory approvals,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002259

nauna po siya. So we're trying to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002260

yung mga nakasalang na po doon,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002261

mahirap na po palitan kasi there's a

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002262

multilateral approval

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002263

necessary. So sana, yun ang

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002264

nandun. Huwag na sanang galawin po

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002265

yun. And yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002266

GAA na lang yung mga hindi pa napapondohan

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002267

ng PPP. So that's how it worked out

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002268

in context, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002269

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002270

And also, before I

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002271

finish, I would like to thank DepEd

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002272

sa lahat ng efforts po natin.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002273

Para sa edukasyon. Thank you.

Source

Rep. Marie Bernadette G. Escudero

asr-002274

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002274-split-2

Thank you very much. And thank you

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002275

likewise for your

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002276

care for these very important issues and for your

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002277

district. And we assure you of our willingness to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002278

work with you, Kongdet. Maraming salamat po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002279

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002280

Thank you. Next to us

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002281

question is Representative

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002282

Iris Montes.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002283

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002284

Good morning, Secretary Angara

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002285

and to the DepEd family. Ilang katanungan

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002286

lamang po mula sa kababaihan,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002287

kabalikatan para sa kapakanan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002288

At kaundi rin ng bayan, or 4K.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002289

Morning po. Pero actually pala, I have

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002290

a lot of questions. I'll try to squeeze in

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002291

some of them in my five minutes.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002292

Anyway, we still have the floor to clarify

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002293

some of them. Let me start

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002294

with

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002295

learning crisis and the issue of

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002296

learning crisis and recovery

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002297

and the ARAL program.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002298

Despite years of increased funding,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002299

the Philippines continues to rank poorly

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002300

in international assessments.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002301

What portion

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002302

exactly of our 2027

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002303

budget is dedicated to

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002304

addressing foundational

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002305

literacy and numeracy?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002306

Well, we have the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002307

entire budget of the learning systems

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002308

strand, Madam.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002309

So the budget for textbooks

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002310

and the Bureau

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002311

of Educational Assessment

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002312

or BEA

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002313

is working on

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002314

aligning our

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002315

exams towards

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002316

a lot of these international assessments.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002317

So,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002318

hopefully, we'll have a better performance

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002319

in the future, Madam.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002320

So, yun yun. Tapos yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002321

pag-orient natin sa ating mga teachers

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002322

about the curriculum,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002323

yung pag-amenda po natin

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002324

ng senior high school curriculum,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002325

these are all geared towards

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002326

making our graduates

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002327

more employable, making our graduates

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002328

more well-rounded

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002329

and more

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002330

knowledgeable.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002331

And,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002332

skillful,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002333

your honor.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002334

Wala po tayong ballpark figure, exactly?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002335

Percentage of the total budget

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002336

is dedicated or

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002337

allotted to addressing this?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002338

I would say, you're talking

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002339

at least about

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002340

maybe

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002341

at least 10 billion, your honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002342

At least 10 billion, your honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002343

Textbooks, you're already talking about

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002344

6 billion. Assessments,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002345

you're talking about a few billion.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002346

So, all of this, in a way,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002347

influence how we

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002348

will be

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002349

tackling. Even the digitalization,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002350

you could say that it, although it's

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002351

been cut, it could also work

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002352

towards improving our

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002353

performance in

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002354

assessments like the PISA, because if you

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002355

read the PISA report from 2018

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002356

and 2022, very few of our

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002357

learners had access to computers

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002358

at that. And this is a computer

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002359

administered exam, your honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002360

So, some of the efforts of DEPED

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002361

have been geared towards

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002362

providing

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002363

computer access to our

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002364

learners.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002365

Should, yes, Mr. Secretary, so that's

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002366

about, what, 10% of the

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002367

proposed budget? 967

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002368

billion, so more or less?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002369

It's about 4%

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002370

of the DEPED budget, your honor, because

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002371

personnel services, about

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002372

79%. So, if I'm

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002373

talking about the learning systems and curriculum

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002374

strand, that's about 4%, your honor.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002375

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002376

My next question would be

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002377

how do you

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002378

evaluate whether interventional

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002379

intervention, your interventions, are

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002380

producing actual improvements?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002381

What tools exactly do

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002382

you use? A baseline assessment

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002383

tool do you use?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002384

to gauge or measure our improvements?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002385

We have the CRLA.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002386

This is an assessment tool to measure the reading.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002387

This is the Comprehensive Rapid Literacy Assessment.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002388

We also have the ELNA, or the Early Language Literacy

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002389

and Numeracy Assessment.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002390

This is the assessment tool which

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002391

looks at the learner's foundational skills

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002392

in early language, literacy, and numeracy at the end

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002393

of Key Stage 1, or grade 3.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002394

So as mentioned, we have the CRLA.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002395

Then we have the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002396

or FIL-IRI, and Rapid Math Assessment, or RMA.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002397

These are administered at beginning and the end

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002398

of school year to assess the literacy and numeracy

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002399

of each learner per grade level from grades 1 to 10.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002400

And the literacy and numeracy knowledge link tests

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002401

are now being piloted.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002402

This is a harmonized classroom-based assessment

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002403

system from grades 1 to 12 that will

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002404

enable consistent tracking of learner progress in literacy

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002406

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002407

My next question is going to be on digitalization, ICT,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002408

and e-learning infrastructure.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002409

One of the audit observations of COA for 2025 is,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002410

on the computerization program packages,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002411

and for 2027, you are again requesting 5.8 billion

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002412

for computerization program.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002413

How do we, perhaps, ,,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002414

what lessons have we learned from the previous ICT

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002415

implementation failures of that?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002416

Well, we've addressed that COA, and these computers have been

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002417

fully delivered already, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002418

So these are just snapshots of a moment in time,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002419

and we've addressed that.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002420

So we're also improving our tracking system

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002421

so we know exactly when the computers are

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002422

in the hands of our schools and learners, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002423

OK, thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002424

The next question will be on last mile schools.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002425

How much of the proposed budget for 2027 is allocated,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002426

Mr. Secretary?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002427

How much of the proposed budget is allocated for construction

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002428

and repairs of last mile schools to be

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002429

able to construct typhoon-resilient school

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002430

buildings?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002431

The budget for last mile schools is 1.91 billion,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002432

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002433

1.91?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002434

For 2027.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002435

OK.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002436

OK.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002437

Since I still have a few minutes left, ang sunod ko po sigurong katanungan,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002438

Mr. Secretary, meron po ba tayong data tungkol po ito sa ALS?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002439

On re-enrollment target metrics po natin, meron po ba tayong target percentage

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002440

of ALS graduates na, that are projected

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002441

to transition into higher education or technical

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002442

vocational training or formal employment?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002443

I'm sure we have it, but I don't have it right now, Madam Chair.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002444

If you give us a minute, we will.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002445

We have some time to get the data, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002446

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002447

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002448

I will be glad to receive such information as soon as time

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002449

possible.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002450

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002451

Tungkol naman po ito, may arrears pa po ba tayo sa mga private schools?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002452

Ano po ang total balance natin on unpaid vouchers or backlogs owed

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002453

to private participating schools under the SHS voucher program

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002454

and ESC?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002455

Malalaki.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002456

At meron po ba

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002457

allocations for 2027

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002458

to fully liquidate these outstanding obligations?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002459

Maliit na lang po yung balanse.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002460

It's less than 10 million, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002461

It's very small compared to the past.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002462

We have 38 billion.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002463

That's the total for vouchers and the [unclear] budget for the vouchers, Your Honor, 38 billion

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002464

for 2027.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002465

Okay.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002466

Okay. Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002467

Iyon lamang po for now.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-002468

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002469

Thank you. Thank you, Madam.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002470

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002471

Next to ask question is Representative Nelson Legacion.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002472

Thank you, Madam Chairman.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002473

Magandang umaga po sa ating DepEd Secretary,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002474

sa Angara at sa DepEd family.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002475

Uunahin ko lang po yung paglilinaw.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002476

Dito po sa dokumento na natanggap po namin,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002477

entitled Building on Progress, Transforming Learning,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002478

meron po sa page 8 to 11 na nakasulat,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002479

DepEd Budget Requests.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002480

Ito ho ba ay maliban pa doon sa P975 billion?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002481

Yan po yung wish list ng DepEd.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002482

In other words, kapag ka pinagbigyan po ito ng Kongreso,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002483

both the House of Representatives and the Senate of the Philippines,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002484

kaabot po sa P1.1 trillion yung magiging budget ng DepEd.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002485

Mga ganun ho.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002486

Okay.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002487

Sa akin po, walang problema po yun.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002488

Basta may mapagkukuhaan.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002489

And I would like to, this early,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002490

I would like to manifest that I am in full support of this request for additional budget.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002491

Now, I will be further talking about,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002492

ah, two matters which I often experience when I was a local chief executive.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002493

I am referring to the maintenance and other operating expenses and capital outlay.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002494

Pero yung sa capital outlay, kahit hindi na po siguro kasi marami na pong nagtanong.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002495

Pagdating doon po sa MOOE, napansin ko lang po ano,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002496

under the 2026 GAA, nasa 207 billion po siya.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002497

Pero sa proposed 2027 budget, nasa 174 billion.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002498

May difference of 33 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002499

Ang nakita ko rin po, from doon sa elementary,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002500

yung appropriation per learner for the elementary learners,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002501

dati nasa 2,140.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002502

Pero ngayong taon, 2,792.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002503

For high school learners, from 2,784, ngayon ay 3,264.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002504

Dahil bumaba po yung MOOE, ang ibig bang sabihin noon,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002505

number one, nagkamali ba tayo sa paghingi ng mataas na budget for MOOE under 2026 GAA?

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002506

Pangalawa,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002507

yung pagbaba ng MOOE by 33 billion,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002508

hindi kaya maapektuhan ito yung pangailangan ng bawat paaralan?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002509

Tama po kayo, Your Honor, Kong Nelson.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002510

Yung mas malaki ho yung allotment for capital outlay and MOOE for 2026 kumpara sa 2027.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002511

Parang kinainan ng personal services representing almost 79% of the total.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002512

Whereas for this year, it's about 60 plus percent, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002513

Pero yung concern ko po yung pagbaba noong MOOE from 207 billion to 174 billion.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002514

Pero yung numero naman po ng ating estudyante, halos hindi naman po nagbabago, diba?

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002515

And correspondingly, kapag binabaan mo po yung MOOE,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002516

bababa yung allocation per learner.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002517

Bababa yung...

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002518

Yung ibinababa po nating budget sa bawat paaralan.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002519

Tama po sila. Apektado po yun.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002520

And these items include school feeding, textbooks.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002521

So to the extent na nabawasan yun, tama po kayo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002522

Yung allocation per learner is affected.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002523

So given that, hindi ba maaring maiakyat ulit, maibalik sa dati?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002524

Nasa wish list po namin yun at nasa kamay na po ng mga kongresista.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002525

Kasama na po ba yan doon sa 145 billion?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002526

Kasama po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002527

Kasama na po yan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002528

Kasama po.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002529

Okay, sige.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002530

Last point na lang po, Madam Chairman.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002531

Patungkol po sa Special Education Fund,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002532

diba meron po dito yung mga lungsod, yung mga probinsya.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002533

At sa tingin ko, several billions of pesos po ito.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002534

Kapag sinumada mo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002535

Ano yun?

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002536

Meron namang guidelines na naipalabas.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002537

Pero ang tanong ko, yung gamit po ba nito, ay nasusubaybayan ba yan?

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002538

Sa Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002539

Kasi sa tingin ko, yung paggamit po ng Special Education Fund,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002540

kinakailangang naka-align po yun sa programs and projects ng Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002541

At tinitingnan dapat kung paano ito nakakatulong sa goals, objective ng Department of Education.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002542

At tama po kayo, Your Honor, na mahalaga yung SCF at dapat naka-align yun sa mga layunin ng DepEd.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002543

But unfortunately, there's such a thing as local autonomy, diba?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002544

So mixed experiences ang DepEd ho dyan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002545

Pag medyo forward-looking at enlightened yung local chief executive,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002546

pinapaubayan na po sa DepEd ang paggamit po ng Special Education Fund.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002547

Pero having said that, pinalawak na po natin yung menu ng Special Education Fund

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002548

para hindi lang yung traditional items ang pwedeng pondohan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002549

But again, yung talagang coercive

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002550

power over the use of the SEF is not with DepEd.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002551

It's probably with DOF if it lies with any agency.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002552

Kasi hindi naman kami yung nagpamonitor doon.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002553

At yung ibang, I'm aware that some LGUs, yung SCF allotment for that year,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002554

hindi nila ginagastos, minsan iniipon po nila yun.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002555

Yun lang po, Madam Chairman.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002556

At muli, yung pagpapayag po ng suporta sa Department of Education,

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002557

including the request for additional budget.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002558

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Source

Rep. Nelson S. Legacion

asr-002559

Thank you very much.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002560

Maraming-maraming salamat, Kong Nelson, at mabuhay po kayo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002561

Diyos mabalas. Thank you.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002562

Before we go on lunch break, I will recognize one more,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002563

and then we go to lunch break and toilet break as well with the Secretary.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002564

Okay.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-002565

The Chair now recognizes Representative Sarah Elago.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002566

Maraming salamat, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002567

Magandang araw.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002568

As a DepEd family, tungkol sa implementation ng Bawal Bastos Law,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002569

ang programa at activities para rito ay kinukuha mula sa Learner Rights and Protection Funds,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002570

pati na rin sa Gender and Development Budget.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002571

Nagawa na po ba lahat ng ating regional offices ang kanya-kanyang mga code of conduct and consultation?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002572

At lahat ba ng divisions at schools ay may funksional na Committee on Decorum and Investigation?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002573

Your Honor, they're still in the process of completing.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002574

The plans that you mentioned, Your Honor, the budget is subsumed under the Gender and Development portion of the DepEd budget, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002575

We can submit a report per region, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002576

Maraming salamat, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002577

Abukad sa mismo report ng Bawal Bastos Law implementation,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002578

nais din natin makuha kung magkano rin yung nagagastos para sa mga referral at intervention programs,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002579

lalo na sa mental health, psychosocial support services,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002580

para sa mga victim-survivors of sexual violence.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002581

Hindi lang po ito para sa mga estudyante, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002582

Pero maski ho ang mga guro at ibang mga non-teaching personnel at lahat ng education stakeholders

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002583

ay kailangan nakaka-access ng ganitong mahalagang mga servisyo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002584

Ngayon naman, Madam Chair, nais kong magtanong tungkol sa policy ng DepEd tungkol sa class suspension.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002585

Dahil ngayon, sunod-sunod ang bagyo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002586

May habagat na may dalang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002587

malakas na pag-ulan, nandiyan ang epekto ng pagbaha,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002588

nandyan din ang bantanang super el nino at extreme heat.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002589

At ang risulta nito, dumarami at sunod-sunod ang bilang ng nawawalang school days dahil sa class suspension.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002590

May development na huba kung paano ma-address ng DepEd

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002591

yung mga concerns ng ating kababayan tungkol sa mga late na class suspension.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002592

May pondo bang ilalaan para sa catch-up programs, make-up classes,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002593

paano namu-monitor at natitiyak na effective ang mga programa na ito?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002594

Thank you, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002595

Meron po tayong draft EO to amend the existing EO 66.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002596

So, in-approve na po nung SDC or Social Development Committee of DepDev.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002597

That was last week lang.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002598

And ang highlights nun, yung nabanggit nyo,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002599

yung kasi dati, ano lang eh, weather hazard, rain and wind hazard lang ho.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002600

Ngayon, kasama na ho yung earthquake.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002601

So, may automatic suspensions for pag yung air quality is based on the limits that DNR sets,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002602

yung earthquake, certain earthquake level, tapos may pag-asa levels for heat index din po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002603

So, sinama na ho natin yun.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002604

So, yung hazards na expand po yung menu.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002605

And we have such...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002606

We're developing this new concept called the granular suspension and resumption of class, ma'am.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002607

Anong ibig sabihin ito?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002608

Kapag kasi sa ngayon, meron tayong automatic suspension sa national level or sa provincial levels.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002609

Pagka...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002610

yung certain color index ng ulan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002611

Tapos meron din tayong local suspension

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002612

at the level of the governor, the mayors.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002613

So ngayon, meron ho kasing ang naging feedback ho sa amin

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002614

in our consultations is yung mga ibang skwelahan

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002615

na sakop doon mga suspension na nabanggit,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002616

eh hindi naman sila lahat apektado.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002617

Ibig sabihin, nag-declare si governor dito,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002618

eh itong sityo na ito, ito yung barangay,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002619

hindi pala umuulan doon sa lugar nila.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002620

So we're under this new draft EO,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002621

which will be

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002622

hopefully approved by the president in the coming weeks.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002623

Pwede na pong mag-resume with coordination

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002624

with the local chief executives,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002625

ang ating mga public and private schools, Your Honor,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002626

para ma-minimize na nga yung learning loss.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002627

And really, tama ho kayo because this is a very relevant topic

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002628

given the effects of El Nino,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

the effects of climate change,

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002630

yung haze mula sa Indonesia,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002631

talagang unprecedented po yung weather disturbances

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002632

that we're seeing at present, Your Honor.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002633

Madam Chair, sa nabanggit na halimbawa ng ating Secretary,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002634

sa kabilang banda, mayroon din mga kaso na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002635

hindi affected yung eskwelahan,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002636

pero yung mga estudyante sa mga lugar na binaha

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002637

o sa mga lugar na affected,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002638

ay may nararanasan na pagbaha

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002639

at iba't iba pong kahirapan sa pagpapasok.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002640

Kaya dapat may isang ala-alang rin ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002641

Ngayon naman, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002643

may podo ba para sa dagdag allowance

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002644

para sa home-based work ng mga guro?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002645

Kasi ho, diba, ang karaniwan na nangyayari

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002646

pag may class suspension,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002647

sila ho ay nagkakandak na kanilang klase

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002648

mula sa kanilang bahay through online means.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002649

Meron po bang dagdag na allowance

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002650

para sa home-based work na ito?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002651

Wala po for home-based work,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002652

pero tama ho kayo, dapat maging flexible ho tayo

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002653

dahil maaring yung eskwelahan hindi apektado,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002654

pero yung estudyante o yung guro ay apektado

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002655

dahil nakatira sila sa ibang lugar.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002656

So, we'll make allowance for that, Your Honor,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002657

dun sa allowing certain students

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002658

to be excused from attending school

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002659

during those times

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002660

and using alternative delivery means

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002661

na lang or modes

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002662

dito sa kanilang mga estudyante na apektado,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002663

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002664

Madam Chair, bukod po dun sa allowance,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002665

dagdag na allowance para sa home-based work

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002666

ng mga teachers,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002667

nire-raise ko rin po yung concern.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002668

Halimbawa, yung mga laptop na,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002669

provided for teachers,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002670

magagamit lang nila mismo dun sa school premises

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002671

at hindi po sila pinapayagan na maiuwi.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002672

Gayun din po yung concern ng ilan na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002673

hindi naman lahat ay makakashift

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002674

agad-agad sa online means.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002675

Halimbawa, pag wala hong kuryente,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002676

walang internet services,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002677

sana po, maisang alang-alang ito ng DepEd.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002678

Ngayon naman, tungkol, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002679

dun sa pagpapatupad ng DepEd Order No. 32,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002680

this particular order mandates DepEd

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002681

to uphold human rights,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002682

peace-building,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002683

and child protection in all educational spaces,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002684

particularly the use of school premises

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002685

by the military for civic action,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002686

including medical and dental missions,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002687

symposia, and other public service activities

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002688

is prohibited unless in response

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002689

to natural disasters or emergencies

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002690

where civil authorities require such assistance.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002691

Ngayon po ba may pondo kayo

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002692

para sa pagpapatupad nito?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002693

At meron ba kayong active na mechanism

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002694

for monitoring, evaluation, investigation?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002695

Hanggang sa pagpapanagot

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002696

ng mga lumalabag nito?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002697

Anong sanction pag lumabag?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002698

Well, nirirespeto naman, by and large,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002699

nirirespeto naman ho yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002700

ganong limitasyon.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002701

Para naging tradisyon na rin ho yun

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002702

na yung mga armed services ay

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002703

hanggang gate lang po ng paaralan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002704

So, I think the exceptions is

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002705

yung pag nagkaroon ng shooting

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002706

at knifing

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002707

or other security incidents,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002708

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002709

May mga reports, Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002710

sa representation na ito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002711

na sa mga learning tools

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002712

na papahawak yung mga bata

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002713

ng mga baril.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002714

Kahit pa ito ay walang laman na bala

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002715

o kung anuman,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002716

dapat ho hindi ito pinapayagan ng DepEd

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002717

at magkaroon ng stricto na palisya

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002718

sa pagbabawal ho sa civilian na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002719

lalo lalo na sa mga bata

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002720

na paghawak ng ganito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002721

at exposure mismo sa guns.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002722

Ngayon naman, tungkol ho sa pondo

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002723

para sa debt servicing

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002724

na mas malaki pa ho sa basic

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002725

education budget,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002726

sabi po sa Constitution,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002727

dapat highest budgetary priority

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002728

ang nilalaan natin sa education.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002729

Pero ngayon, hung 2027,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002730

sa pangkabuan,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002731

ang pondo para sa principal

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002732

amortization at debt interest

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002733

payments, umabot na ng

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002734

2.7 trillion pesos,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002735

samantalang ang pondo po natin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002736

sa basic education,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002737

976 billion lamang.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002738

Hindi po ba ito direktang paglabag

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002739

sa prinsipyong

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002740

konstitusyonal na ang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002741

edukasyon dapat ang bigyan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002742

ng pinakamataas na priority

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002743

sa budget?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002744

Paano may ipapatupad ng DepEd

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002745

ng buong buong mandato nito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002746

lalo lalo na sa harap ng

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002747

learning crisis kung

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002748

na one third lang po ng pondo

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002749

ng basic education

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002750

ay yung ginagastos po po natin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002751

para sa utang?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002752

Magandang tanong ho yan,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002753

Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002754

But that question was already

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002755

ruled on by the Supreme Court

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002756

in the 1980s or

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002757

1990s,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002758

in the [unclear]

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002759

[unclear].

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002760

Your Honor, and the Supreme Court

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002761

ruled that it was

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002762

alright if the automatic appropriation

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002763

for debt payments exceeded

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002764

the education budget,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002765

Your Honor. But having said that,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002766

ako'y nakikita ko naman, wala namang masama

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002767

kung umutang tayo. Basta gastusin ho natin

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002768

sa tama. Gastusin natin sa tao,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002769

sa edukasyon, sa kalusugan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002770

Huwag mapunta sana sa katiwalian.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002771

So, yun ho ang mahalaga.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002772

Kung titignan ho natin

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002773

yung mga mauunlad at mayayaman na bansa,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002774

malaki din naman ang utang nila. Pero siguro

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002775

mas maingat sila sa mga gastusin.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002776

Maraming salamat, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002777

And for my closing manifestation,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002778

sa tingin ko ho,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002779

panahon na para ma-review

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002780

ng Kongreso na ito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002781

ang ating automatic

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002782

appropriations, lalong-lalo na ho

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002783

sa pagbabayad ng utang.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002784

Gayun din,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002785

sa ngayon kasi yung paglalaan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002786

natin ng 2.7 trillion pesos,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002787

very alarming,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002788

considering na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002789

37.5%

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002790

po ito ng buong pondo natin

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002791

para sa susunod na taon.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002792

Ibig sabihin, Madam Chair, mas mataas pa ho ito

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002793

sa pinagsamang budget ng edukasyon,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002794

ng kalusugan,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002795

ng agrikultura,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002796

na aabot lang ho sa

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002797

1.59 trillion pesos.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002798

Kung seryoso ho tayo na bigyan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002799

ng prioridad ng edukasyon,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002800

dapat taasan ang pondo ng

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002801

Department of Education at lahat

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002802

ng attached agencies nito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002803

Ang dami hong budget cuts na dapat

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002804

naman ma-restore sa 2026,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002805

na level ang pondo ng mga ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002806

Paunla rin natin ang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002807

lokal na agrikultura at industriya

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002808

na may binipisyo hindi lang sa sektor

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002809

ng edukasyon, kundi para sa mas

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002810

masagana at mas maunlad na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002811

buhay para sa nakararami nating

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Sa ilalim ng NEP na 2027, ang budget para sa Madrasa Education Program ay nasa 504 million pesos, which is below the 2026 level.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002842

Magkano po kaya ang original proposal ng DepEd for the Madrasa Education Program to DBM before the NEP po?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

Yes, thank you.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

Magandang hapon, Madam Chair.

Your Honor, sa Madrasa nag-propose po ang DepEd for 2027 ng 2.03 billion, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002846

2.03 billion para lamang po ito sa Madrasa Education, tama po?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002847

Tama po, Ma'am.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002848

Can you explain to this committee, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, in detail kung anong programs ang mababawas for our Moro community if hindi madadagdagan ng budget po?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002849

This is for the...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002850

increase in subsidy and additional asset needs.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002851

Yung compensation po ng 670 asset needs handling the Alive classes, the Arabic language classes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002852

So, ibig sabihin po, malaki po yung matatapyas sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002853

Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, sa fiscal year of 2027 allocation, ilang learners at asset needs ang kayang masuportahan?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002854

Masuportahan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

12,500, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Current year or mas bumaba, po?

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

Madam Chair, in the proper time, Akbayan will push to increase the budget for the Madrasa Education Program.

Sa buong taong pakikipag-usap ko po sa ating Moro community sa kanilang pag-rehabilitate ng Madrasa schools,

Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, bakit po kaya bumaba ng higit kalahati ang item natin sa IPED?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002871

Mula 154 million sa gaan ng 2026.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002872

Iking 76 million na lang sa NEP ng 2027.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002873

Kung ikukumpara po sa NEP ng 2026, 74.8 million ang NEP noong 2026.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002874

Dinagdagan po ng Kongreso, naging 154.4 million sa GAA or General Appropriations Act for this year, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002875

Kaya usually, ganoon ang practice po ng DBM.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002876

Tinitingnan lang nila yung NEP level. Hindi nila ina-appropriate for the succeeding year yung GAA level.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002877

Ang assumption nila, siguro, baka dadagdagan ulit po ng Kongreso.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002878

So, actually, this 2027 NEP increased by a little over a million from the NEP level of 2026, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002879

Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, alin po kayang mga activities or communities or learners groups ang pinakatatamaan ng pagbawas na ito?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002880

Kung sakaling hindi po ito maibalik sa original na requested?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002881

Well, yung support.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002882

Support funds for the delivery of the IPED program.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002883

We can cover 4,471 more schools, Your Honor, pagka nabigay po yung additional funding.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002884

Tapos yung learning and development for learning delivery, translanguaging training.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002885

Pangalawang batch na po yun.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002886

Tapos merong policies and standards for interagency agreements to address the access concerns of our IP learners, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002887

Yun yung mga tatamaan po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002888

Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, ito yung mahalaga po sa akin.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002889

Dahil particular na ako po ay isang indigenous people at karamihan po ng aking mga kababayan, mga constituents na IP ay lumalapit patungkol po dito.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002890

Kaya nababahala po ako kung ito po ay hindi mai-increase, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002891

Sa 76 million na allocation, ilan po kayang indigenous communities at learners lang po ang kayang masuportahan ng DEPED dito?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002892

At ano po kaya ang critical unmet needs?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002893

Na hindi na matutugunan sa ganitong level ng pondo po?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002894

Ang masaserve po natin ay 560,700 learners and 4,400 schools.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002895

Tapos pag nadagdagan po yung hinihingi ng 78 million, which is to bring it up to 2026 level, ganoon din po yung number of schools na masisilbihan, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002896

Maraming salamat, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002897

Ano pong resources ang nakalaan para sa culturally?

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002898

The responsive learning materials, active community participation, paggamit ng indigenous languages, at pagpapatayo o pagpapanatili ng learning spaces para sa mga IP learners.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002899

Well, that's all part of the localization of the curriculum, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002900

Pinapayagan natin yung mga divisions at saka yung mga regions to give priority.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002901

So makikita ko natin merong mga local traditions na pinipreserve like weaving.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002902

Basket making and other livelihood and traditions of the IPs, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002903

At syempre concerned din po kami sa access.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002904

So yung pagtatayo ng additional classrooms and of course yung pagtayo ng mga integrated schools din sa ibang IP areas po ay tinutuguran po natin dahil nakikita po natin sa mga last mile schools.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002905

Yun din po ang minsan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002906

Karamihan ng apektado ay IP communities din po, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002907

So ito yung ilang nakikita po natin.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002908

In fact, meron kami nakakasamang IP sa Misamis noon na sabi niya dati hanggang grade 3 lang sila pero ngayon dahil nagtayuhu ng DepEd ng high school doon, first time na sa tribo nila makakagraduate sila ng high school, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002909

Tama po yan, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002910

Sa sariling ancestral domain ko po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002911

Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, dati nasa grade 1, grade 2 lamang.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002912

Ngayon may grade 6 na po kami.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002913

And sana, insya Allah, magkaroon na rin po ito ng high school eventually.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002914

But anyway, I will proceed to another topic po.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002915

Ito naman po ay patungkol sa Islamic studies and Arabic language.

ang national stunting rate

and highest stunting rate

which was recorded

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002978

at 36%.

In connection with this, paano

nakikipag-coordinate ang DepEd

capacity building, Your Honor. Unfortunately,

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

school feeding program is not one of the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002989

programs authorized by

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

the organic law, unlike

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

school building and

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002992

capacity building of our teachers,

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

teacher-teacher training.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002994

It's not included for us

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002995

as one of the activities we're allowed to fund,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002996

Your Honor. Kaya

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002997

one possibility is i-amenda yung batas.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002998

Another possibility is

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-002999

yun na lang, mag-coordinate ko kami

na para po sa ating mga

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003012

may problema po sa stunting

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003013

sa BARM.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003014

Meron po, in fact,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003015

under the auspices of EDCOM,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003016

nagkaroon po tayo ng Bangsamoro

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003017

coordination council

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003018

including not only DEPED

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003019

but also TESDA at saka CHED

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003020

para lahat nung educational needs

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003021

ng BARM ma-address through this

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003022

coordinating mechanism. So, it's even

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003023

a more specific body than, I know

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003024

there is a overarching

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003025

coordinating mechanism

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003027

involving the department, headed by the Department of Finance

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003028

to look at the spending of the national government

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003029

vis-a-vis the BARM. But, this one is really concentrated on education

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003030

because EDCOM nga nagtayo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003031

In fact, the first two-day workshop was held last week,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003032

Your Honor, Madam Chair.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003033

So, I think it's a good start.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003034

But having said that, tumutulong na po talaga kami sa school buildings,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003035

tapos sa teacher trainings,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003036

tapos sa foreign loans din po ng DEPED.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003037

Dahil, yun ay hindi naman funding source ng GAAP.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003038

So, pwedeng isama po dun yung BARM.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003039

So, nagbigay kami ng mga tablets

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003040

under our TCEP loan,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003041

which is to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003042

to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003043

train our teachers

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003044

in digital technology

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003045

and in modern teaching techniques, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003046

Madam Chair,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003047

Mr. Secretary, alam ko wala na po akong time.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003048

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003050

yung alignment.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003051

Gumagawa tayo ng mekanismo.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003052

Patungkol po dito sa

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003053

stunting problem natin sa BARM.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-003054

But anyway, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary,

asr-003055

gusto ko lamang kong ipaabot

the 2027 budget

prioritizes improving the learning

environment, including

asr-003109

the repair of 11,140

Source

Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap

asr-003112

with Congress' full support for the

Source

Rep. John Geesnell "Baba" Yap

asr-003113

DepEd budget, these investments

asr-003114

will translate into better, safer,

asr-003125

kabataan, dahil nakikita nga natin na

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003126

maraming masasamang impluwensya

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003127

na ngayon ay

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003128

nangingibabaw sa ating mga

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003129

kabataan. They're being influenced

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003130

in many negative ways,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003131

as mentioned earlier,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003132

towards violence, towards

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003133

terrorism, towards

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003134

disrespect for

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003135

good manners, etc.

asr-003136

So, we're really trying

asr-003137

to have a holistic development

development, Your Honor.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

At saka yung issues of mental health,

yung binilisan na po natin yung hiring

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003141

ng ating school counselors

at saka kinumpleto na ho natin yung

learning formation officers

the building of a strong

Your Honor. And our next step is to

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003149

really improve upon our

asr-003150

interface with the parents, yung mga

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003151

parent-teacher associations,

Isama na rin po natin yung

asr-003153

the interface with the barangay

asr-003166

While waiting for the other

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003167

members who wish

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003168

to ask questions,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003169

the Chair will now be

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003170

asking several questions

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003171

raised by

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003172

some CSO.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003173

If you recall, since last year

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003174

and until this year, the Committee on

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003175

Appropriations allowed

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003176

civil service

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

civil society

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003178

organizations

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003179

to ask questions

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003180

to all the

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003181

departments. So while waiting,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003182

so wala pa sila,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003183

so ako na muna magtatanong,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003184

Secretary.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003185

these questions were emailed

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003186

to the Committee on Appropriations

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003187

and these are coming from

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003188

the Center for Youth Advocacy

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003189

and Networking

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003190

MultiplyED.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003191

Some of the questions were

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003192

already raised earlier,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003193

so I'll just ask those

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003194

who are not yet raised.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003195

First, on the classroom construction

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003196

and absorptive capacity,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003197

the fiscal year

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003198

2027 basic education

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003199

facilities allocation is being

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003200

underfunded by

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003201

64.2%

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003202

despite a classroom backlog

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003203

exceeding 166,000

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003204

and

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003205

58% of

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003206

monitored schools reporting

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003207

insufficient classrooms.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003208

MultiplyED's monitoring

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003209

data also found schools

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003210

operating in

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003211

two to three shifts

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003212

and projects left unfinished

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003213

despite contractors already

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003214

being substantially paid.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003215

Despite the bigger allocation

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003216

last year which aimed to build more

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003217

classrooms, why does the Department

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003218

keep on targeting a small number

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003219

of classrooms to build each year

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003220

as compared to the compounding

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003221

and increasing need for classrooms

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003222

taking into consideration the

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003223

classrooms that need rehabilitation

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003224

after disasters?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003225

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003226

It's a good question.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003227

Actually, we're not asking

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003228

for a small number of classrooms.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003229

We're actually asking for a very big amount.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003230

We asked for 98 billion from DBM

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003231

to match the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003232

or surpass the amount we received

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003233

this year thanks to your generosity

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003234

and Congress's generosity, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003235

But unfortunately, we were not

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003236

granted, but hopefully

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003237

through the budgetary process

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003238

there may be a change of heart

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003239

and the final product in the GAA

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003240

will be favorable towards

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003241

infrastructure. And although the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003242

classroom backlog for the record is no longer

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003243

over 160,000, it's 142,000

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003244

approximately,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003245

Your Honor. Although, of course, it grows

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003246

every time we have a calamity and there are hundreds

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003247

of classrooms which are destroyed

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003248

as we saw recently in Central Luzon

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003249

and many other

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003250

areas. However,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003251

we don't want

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003252

a small amount

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003253

of allotment as much as

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003254

possible. We are advocating for

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003255

a very strong infrastructure

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003256

program. That's why we

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003257

realize that agencies may have

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003258

reached their absorptive capacities

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003259

which is why we branched out towards

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003260

innovative approaches like

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003261

employing the LGUs.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003262

So rather than

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003263

have just one or two agencies doing infrastructure

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003264

for classrooms, we now have

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003265

350 plus

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003266

instrumentalities of government

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003267

engaging in

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003268

bidding out our classrooms. Not to mention

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003269

reaching out to private actors,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003270

to consumers, to corporations,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003271

and through the public-private partnership

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003272

also reaching

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003273

out through the multilateral agencies,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003274

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003275

Thank you. Thank you, Secretary, for

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003276

the answer.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003277

Another question is on the allocation

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003278

list of classrooms.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003279

Tied with the big budget

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003280

allotted for classroom construction

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003281

is a need to monitor if these classrooms

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003282

were really built as intended.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003283

Civil society organizations

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003284

like MultiplyEd and

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003285

Government Watch have asked

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003286

the Department non-stop

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003287

to provide and publish a complete

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003288

list of locations

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003289

to build the classrooms, only

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003290

to have been met with empty promises

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003291

and most of the time no

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003292

response at all. When will

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003293

the Department of Education release its

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003294

allocation list for the classrooms

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003295

to be built all over the country

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003296

and to fully commit to its

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003297

promise of transparency

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003298

and participation in monitoring

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003299

its education projects?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003300

Your Honor, the list of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003301

locations of classrooms

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003302

is on the website.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003303

Website of the Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003304

On textbooks, last year

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003305

textbook allocation surged

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003306

due to the rollout of the

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003307

matatag curriculum and

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003308

the strengthened senior high

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003309

school curriculum.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003310

Based on civil society monitoring

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003311

and studies, there is

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003312

a jarring disparity

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003313

in textbook delivery to schools

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003314

on the ground, where

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003315

students reported having received

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003316

no textbooks at all.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003317

How can DepEd reconcile the gaps

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003318

in textbooks funds utilization

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003319

and expedite delivery

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003320

of textbooks, especially

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003321

in last mile schools?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003322

Is the Department open to letting the

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003323

Schools Division Office procure textbooks

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003324

to expedite the process?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003325

Yes, we're open to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003326

exploring that, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003327

In fact, now a lot of regional

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003328

offices are the ones procuring

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003329

and we're exploring many

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003330

ways to further speed it up,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003331

Your Honor. First time,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003332

we procured all the titles, 105

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003333

titles for the curriculum.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003334

And EDCOM's finding

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003335

is that in the last decade, only

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003336

27 titles were procured

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003337

of 80 or so titles.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003338

Ngayon lang po tayo nakapag-procure ng

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003339

105 titles. Of course, the delivery

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003340

is something we need to work on

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003341

going forward, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003342

Thank you. On

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003343

DepEd

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003344

LGU and PPP classroom

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003345

construction, how many

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003346

fiscal year

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003347

2027 classrooms

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003348

will depend on LGU counterpart

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003349

funding or

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003350

PPP arrangements? And what happens

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003351

to schools whose LGUs

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003352

cannot provide the required

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003353

counterpart? And why

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003354

is it hard for the Department to publish

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003355

these data regarding classroom

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003356

construction?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003357

Currently, we don't have a counterpart funding

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003358

arrangement, although we acknowledge

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003359

the role of many LGUs in building

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003360

classrooms, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003361

And for

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003362

PPP arrangements,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003363

I think we're targeting

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003364

16,000 for the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003365

PCP3 package, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003366

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003367

um on the absorptive capacity given koa's findings of chronic under obligation in the computerization

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003368

and basic education facilities programs what specifically changes in fiscal year 2027

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003369

so that a smaller capital envelope is actually delivered and why should the build be cut while

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003370

the classroom backlog grows?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003370-split-2

Sorry ma'am, anong ibig sabihin?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003370-split-3

Hindi ko rin naintindihan yung binabasa. Medyo na-confuse din ako sa tanong. Paki-rephrase, Secretary. Medyo na-confuse din ako doon.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003371

if they're addressing the uh absorptive capacity we're addressing it with early procurement

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003372

uh madam chair so but kadalasan kasi hindi natutuloy yung early procurement like we

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003373

did it in our first year

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003374

Pero yung ginawa namin, naiba dahil iniba po yung [unclear] from the NEP to the GAA. Nag-iba-iba yung allotments, kaya yung bid sa early procurement namin nag-iba na ho by the time after the bicam. So walang silbi din yung ginawa naming early procurement, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003375

but uh definitely i think we've improved our early our our absorptive capacity with respect to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003376

the digital uh and the computerization program because we'll be procuring

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003377

hundreds of thousands of computers this coming few months your honor

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003378

yes i think um the question refers to the ways forward probably the actions to be taken

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003379

by the department in order to improve the utilization

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003380

number two decentralization we're giving downloading some funds also to the regions

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003381

because we don't do if it's a

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003382

recurring procurement it means you're procuring the same items every year you don't we don't wait

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003383

to do a new policy we just have the same old policy so that suppliers can already prepare

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003384

and there are no more changes in that policy, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003384-split-2

Thank you. Last question from the CSO

during disasters

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003387

Part of the guidelines is the construction of these learning continuity spaces, which are aimed to be semi-permanent during disasters.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003388

These additional construction items are line items prone to corruption and low efficiency in building.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003389

How does the department plan to build and rebuild, given they are semi-permanent, these learning continuity spaces?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003390

And given the classroom backlogs, do we even have the capacity to build such learning continuity spaces?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003391

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003392

Yung learning continuity spaces, ito?y innovation po namin in the last year.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003393

And in the last three months, we put up 169 of these.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003394

Kasi mabilis lang itayo ?to. Parang Lego ho siya at bakal ho siya.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003395

Ang problema lang namin dito, minsan nawawala yung piyesa, yung tinatawag na sandwich panel, which is the...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003396

portion which connects the classroom.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003397

But it?s no longer the...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003398

Kasi dati walang standard eh.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003399

Minsan kawayan, minsan nipa.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003400

So ngayon, bakal na po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003401

And the warranty is 20 years, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003402

So nung nakita nga nung ibang mayor, sabi,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003403

Iyan na lang ibigay n?yo sa amin. Huwag na...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003404

And regarding the corruption, we are getting good value, I think,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003405

because these are being built for under 2 million, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003406

And they last for a minimum of 20 years.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003407

Possibly more, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003408

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003409

Thank you for answering all the questions raised by the CSO.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

You're most welcome, Madam Chair.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003411

And to the committee.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003412

Now, let us proceed to the other members.

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003413

The Chair would like to recognize Representative Presley De Jesus for his question.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003414

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003416

Of course, to our...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003417

DepEd family, headed by our Secretary,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003418

boss, good afternoon sa inyong lahat.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003419

Alam niyo, kapag tinitingnan ko yung budget natin,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003420

eh dapat talaga hindi lang kayo.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003421

How much is our automatic appropriation?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003422

Ilang percentage po ng total budget tayo?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003423

2 billion po. That is for the RLIP, yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003424

retirement, karamihan pensions and premiums ho yan.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003425

When you submitted your budget, Secretary,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003426

na-approve naman lahat ba o binawasan ba o ano?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003427

Usually binabawasan ng DBM yan, eh.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003428

More or less intact ho siya, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003429

Konti lang nabawas.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003430

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003431

Kasi for me, Mr. Chair, ah, Madam Chair, ang education talaga yan ang number one.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003432

We keep on saying America is number one.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003433

When you look at the data of the Americans,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003434

number seven lang sila sa lahat ng average category.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003435

So, we...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003436

Mr. Chair...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003437

Madam Chair, Secretary, sa Southeast Asia,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003438

pang-ilan tayo? At par ba tayo when it comes to public schools

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003439

in other...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003440

sa ating karatig bansa?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003441

Just ballpark figure.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003442

Well, siguro sa Asia,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003443

of course, Singapore is ahead of us.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003444

Thailand, Malaysia are ahead of us.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003445

Siguro ang Vietnam, nauunahan na tayo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003446

Siguro ang kasabay natin

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003447

Indonesia, Cambodia.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003448

Yeah.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003449

Nasa ilalim naman natin

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003450

yung Laos and Myanmar, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003451

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003452

So, in short, we are...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003453

if not on top, at least at par in the middle.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003454

We're in the middle, but hopefully we can...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003455

I think we have the potential to do better, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003456

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003457

Madam Chair, Secretary, what do you think, you know,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003458

on the onset, what do you think,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003459

at least we have...

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003460

We cannot beat Singapore.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003461

We know that.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003462

It's a given.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003463

But at least, even if we're in the middle,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003464

what do you think we need to do?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003465

As a nation, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003466

Hindi naman lahat kayang gawin ng DepEd.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003467

It is a whole-nation approach.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003468

What do you think we need to do as a nation?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003469

Ang tinitingnan ko ho yung Vietnam.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003470

Kasi dati nauunahan ho natin ang Vietnam,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003471

pero ngayon nalampasan na ho tayo, especially sa test scores.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003472

They focus on certain points.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003473

Number one is the budgetary allocation.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003474

They spend 20% of their national budget for education.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003475

And they...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003476

They pay a particular focus on teachers and teacher training, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003477

So they make sure that their teachers are satisfied,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003478

at may magandang career path.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003479

So talagang promotion, further studies ng teachers nila.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003480

Inaalagaan talaga nila.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003481

They focus on strengthening their teachers.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003482

Kasi alam nila na yan ang heart, as our President said,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003483

of the educational system.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003484

So, I think...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003485

So, I think those are two strong points that we can borrow from Vietnam.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003486

Sa Indonesia, meron din silang app para sa teachers.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003487

So may feedback mechanism with teachers.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003488

Of course, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, they invest a lot in education, Your Honor,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003489

especially early child care, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003490

Thank you, Madam Chair, of course, to the Secretary.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003491

You mentioned that in Vietnam, usually Vietnam.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003492

Yes.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003493

Noong early seventies, eighties, pumupunta sila sa atin para pag-aralan ang farming natin, di ba?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003494

Ngayon, baligtad na.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003495

Mas marami na silang napo-produce kaysa sa atin.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003496

And then, when it comes to education, 20% of the total national budget.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003497

So, right now, we have something like 7.2 trillion.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003498

So I think it is only right na yung 20% to achieve.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003499

Remember, laging sinasabi ng mga bayani natin,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003500

kabataan ang pag-asa ng kinabukasan natin.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003506

So I think this is the high time po na 20% is not bad.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003507

Right now, ilang percent po ang pie natin sa budget natin?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003508

Ilang percent?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003509

It's about 14% of the, 14.3% of the national budget.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003510

That's the budget.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003511

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003512

So ang baba, no?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003513

Hindi naman mababa yun.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003514

Medyo maganda na 'yan kumpara sa dati, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003515

Pero I think we should be conscious about moving it towards a certain goal.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003516

Yeah.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003517

You're being modest.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003518

Secretary. Pero actually, no?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003519

Kasi when you look at Vietnam, nakikita ko,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003520

of course, Japan, Korea, malalayo na 'yan. Mas marami na rin silang computer, eh.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003521

In our ratio po natin sa ating mga schools,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003522

per school, per ano, hindi na per student, per school class na lang po.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003523

Ilan po ang?are we behind when it comes to computers po para sa learning ng ating mga estudyante?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003524

Medyo ho nahuli ho tayo diyan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003526

But the goal is really to have at least one computer lab in each school, Your Honor, para at least may optimum na setup.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003527

there's such a thing as too much computer time also actually that's a new finding now

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003528

That is why many countries, like the Nordic countries, bumabalik na po sa pen and paper actually, because dati one gadget, one learner sila, but hindi na po iyon ang standard ngayon.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003529

they're limiting the computer used to one to three hours a week

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003530

so that is attainable in my opinion uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003531

sa atin. Basta consistent tayo sa purchasing of our computers for the computer labs. And yun po ang importante po, dahil sa PISA, if you read the PISA report of 2018 and 2022,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003532

many the feedback was that many of our learners were not familiar with digital technology

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003533

And it was the first time that they encountered using a mouse during the exam itself. Kaya itong nahuling PISA exam noong 2025, sinigurado natin lahat na kukuha ng

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003534

exam, at least makaramdam na gumamit ng computer. Hindi sila manibago dahil sayang yung oras nila pag doon nila kakabisaduhin yung paggamit ng computer.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003535

Madam Chair, thank you, Madam Chair. So yun nga, tama si Secretary na

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003536

at least one computer per classroom. I hope it is going to be achievable.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003537

Pagdating sa internet

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003538

connectivity natin, ano naman po ang ratio natin?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003539

Mga 19% lang ho ang schools?99% tayo may internet. 99 pala, sorry, 99%. Pero yung importanteng point diyan is yung ibang mababa po ang bandwidth.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003540

so we're trying to get to at least uh so there are 460 schools without internet

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003541

Having said that, yung quality ng internet is variable.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003542

Sa iba, sa opisina lang ng principal may internet. So I guess the next goal is to aim for greater bandwidth in schools, so that you are able to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003543

use

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003544

things like academy uh and other education software your honor

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003545

Thank you, Madam Chair. Secretary, I do not know if someone asked this question:

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003546

how do we integrate AI ngayon?

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003547

Kasi mukhang sabi nga ni Elon [unclear], in the next five years daw,

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003548

human robotics will be more intelligent than humans.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003549

Paano tayo mag-cope up in the next few years when it comes to AI?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003550

May upside and downside po ang AI. So I think on the upside it can really help our teachers upskill,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003551

especially when EDCOM has reported a skills mismatch, meaning yung nagtuturo ng science

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003552

hindi pala science teacher, yung nagtuturo ng chemistry

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003553

hindi naman pala expert sa chemistry. So yung mga ganon, I think AI can really help assist, and also yung personalized learning,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003554

each learner can proceed at their own speed. So iyon ang upside ng AI. The downside is that there are

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003555

studies which show that uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003556

ai can in very young children or in younger children ai can diminish the creative thinking and

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003557

the critical faculties of our learners. So iyon ang babalansehin ho natin. You have to introduce it at the right age and

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003558

with the right safeguards uh and of course we must train our teachers to use it appropriately your

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003559

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003559-split-2

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003560

Siguro no, I am so?we are so lucky that our

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003561

Secretary siya mismo sumasagot. Usually pinapasa yan, pero

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003562

I know you have enough intelligent people around you.

Source

Rep. Presley C. De Jesus

asr-003563

Madam Chair, you know, I saw firsthand during the visit of Secretary

Good afternoon, sir.

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

um

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003609

yung tanong ko

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003610

Usually mga tao nababahala pag nakita nilang bumaba ang budget.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003611

kayo po

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003612

Sa tingin ko hindi kayo nababahala

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003614

budget ninyo ng

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003615

39 billion tama po ba

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

Yung nabawas po na 39 billion, alam natin yung history, yung kasaysayan

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003644

ng budget, kung bakit lumaki yung budget ng DepEd, at marahil

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003645

dahilan kung bakit yung obligation rate ninyo mababa dahil hindi pa ho ganap na maubos.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003646

Mauubos niyo ho ba? Tataas ho yung obligation rate niyo by year-end?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003647

Yes, Your Honor. We expect to reach high 80s, maybe low to mid-90s by year-end.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003648

Kasi pag hindi niyo sinabing maabot yon, wala kayong dahilan para tumaas ang

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003649

budget this year eh. Tama po. Tama po. So itong 39 billion na

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003650

nabawasan o mababawas sa budget ninyo, paano ho ito makakaapekto sa mga reporma na gusto niyong ilunsad?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003651

Well, I guess to take a few examples, Cong Tony, yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003652

feeding, for example, na-cut siya by around 14 or 15 billion.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003653

we'll we have a shorter feeding cycle 120 days versus 180 days we have less

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003655

students to be fed. You are talking about over a million students. We are feeding

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003656

around maybe four million this school year with the current budgetary

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003657

allocation. You are talking two to three million na lang ho, at

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003658

very young children, so Grade 1. Although sabi nga nila, the ideal is to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003659

feed them much earlier, but definitely malaking tulong yun. Nakikita natin yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003660

learning outcomes nag-i-improve, yung attendance nag-i-improve, yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003661

timbang nila nag-i-improve din ho, which is

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003662

which is the goal of the uh feeding the school feeding program so that's one uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003663

Pangalawa is the infrastructure, Your Honor. So we got around

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003664

65 billion for new classrooms now we're getting around 14 billion I think 13

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003665

billion. So that is more of a return to the previous budgeting, no.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003666

and uh uh of course it will affect the rate at

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003667

which we can address the classroom deficit which stands at around 142 000.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003668

so if you there's a big difference between funding uh 18 000 classrooms in

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003669

one year versus funding just uh uh 4 000 or 5 000 and we know the cost of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003670

construction is escalating so if you give the same amount you will be able to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003671

build less given the rising cost of construction uh your ownership these are

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003672

just two examples your order we could talk about the computers we're only

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003673

giving 50,000 under current allocations. So yung goal ni Pangulo sana na mabigyan

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003674

ang lahat ng teachers baka hindi ma-achieve

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003675

at the current pace, Your Honor.

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003676

Pag-idugtong po natin yung mga

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003677

reporma na gusto ninyong ilunsad na medyo

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

iyan doon sa recommendation ng EDCOM 2 na

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003682

halimbawa palakasin yung foundational

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003683

learning, na i-decentralize ang basic

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003684

education at iba pang bagay. Ano hong

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003685

aspeto o partikular na rekomendasyon ng

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003686

EDCOM 2 ang maapektuhan dahil sa

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003687

budget na yan?

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003688

Pagbaba.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003690

Um.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003691

Well,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003692

Well, EDCOM is calling for ten years of sustained 4 to 6 percent funding relative to GDP of the education budget, Your Honor. I think right now we fall short of that. So they believe that if we

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003696

do not do that for the next ten years, we will not be able to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003697

resolve

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003698

many of our problems in education, or at least

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003699

the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003700

pace of reform will not be able

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003702

to keep up maybe with what other countries are doing also. So, yun ho yun, but I think that

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003703

again we go back to the basics. Infrastructure, feeding is crucial to foundational learning, and

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003704

the reckoning point now is zero to eight for foundational learning, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003705

So those are the crucial years for laying the strong foundation for a child?s learning.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003705-split-2

Mr. Secretary,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003706

dito po sa Teacher Education Council, bumaba po ng 203 million. This is the same question, just to

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003707

find out how it will impact your reforms. I do note that a substantial portion goes to scholarships

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003708

for teachers. But meron ho bang plano na turuan yung mga teachers ng different way of teaching

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003709

to promote critical thinking for example something that is more inquiry based and facilitative

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003710

more project-based learning because yeah you can they can take scholarships they can pursue a

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003711

master's degree but if it doesn't really um address or fill a gap in in teaching

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003712

to promote critical thinking,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003713

parang hindi po tutok masyado doon sa problema na gusto nating punan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003714

At tama ho kayo, Your Honor, and I could not agree with you more that we definitely need to switch. We are very fact-heavy

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003715

heavy and in the age of ai it's very inappropriate increasingly so so really the uh it's it's geared

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003716

towards problem solving and uh in fairness to the tec they're working with uh people like pnu up in

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003717

developing a new teachers curriculum and they're also working on you mentioned foundational learning

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003718

Your Honor. They are also working on an early child care specialization because, believe it or not,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003719

we have very few experts who can teach reading to young kids so that's something that despite the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003720

uh years of uh of a poor reading performance it's only now that we're really uh buckling down to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003721

teaching uh reading expertise to young children so that's part of strengthening foundational

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003722

learning, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003722-split-2

Sana ho mabigyan ng ano, ma-upskill yung mga guro na gamitin yung ganong klaseng pagtuturo para yung mga bata mas relevant po yung kaalaman nila at mas na-appreciate nila yung natututunan nila sa classroom.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003723

The other thing is this: something I find still conceptual.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003724

Sinabi po ng EDCOM na dapat i-decentralize yung basic education. Marahil sasang-ayon kayo na sa mga LGUs na malakas ang performance, mataas ang performance ng mga mag-aaral, malaki po ang involvement ng LGU.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003725

Sa inyong pananaw, how would you describe or envision

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003726

the right kind of LGU participation

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003727

in local education governance? How would that look?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003728

uh i think we this is a lot of decision making would be delegated to the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003729

regions a lot of funding would also be delegated to the regions and if possible to the sdos but

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003730

i remember when this was tackled in the in an edcom session in the university of makati

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003731

one of our guests was Jesli Lapus, former Secretary and former member of this chamber,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003732

and he said there's no point to decentralization if your leaders are not prepared to lead so i think

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003733

that is something we are taking seriously. Medyo nawala yun eh. Noong panahon nila Usec Garma when they were regional directors, there was training for higher-level positions in DepEd. Medyo nawala po yun.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003734

So training for the principals. Our teachers are brilliant but they are not

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003735

always the best administrators uh the best managers of people so these are skills that we

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003736

need to really strengthen in our people so that uh we can that dream of decentralization can

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003737

be achieved sooner rather than later.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003738

What is the role of the local chief executive in that respect?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003739

your honor well he has depending on the type of office of LGU that he leads but

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003740

certain LGUs have massive resources at their disposal so if they could partner

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003741

and match what DepEd is doing on the ground,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003742

classroom for one classroom and we've seen it in places like Iloilo where

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003743

decentralization under the auspices of EDCOM and Synergeia has been very

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003744

successful because there's a buy-in from all of the local government units

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003745

involved and all of the local chief executives are committed to not only

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003746

committing resources but even personnel manpower the time of their of their

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003747

officials to to working with DepEd in in solving some of the community's

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003748

problems

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003749

how would you

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003750

institutionalize that participation or involvement by the LGU the local school

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003751

board? We changed the menu, Your Honor. So

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003752

binago natin yung menu for the special education fund. Dati

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003753

mga uniform lang, sports equipment. So now it includes things like early child care,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003754

digitalization remediation so the well of LGUs actually and the more

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003755

more enlightened LGUs already had a version of the ARAL Law even before the ARAL Law was

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003756

a

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003757

in effect.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003757-split-2

Kaya ko natanong yun, because I am getting the feeling that DepEd national

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003758

is doing too much that's that's how it feels to me I think the use X and a sex

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003759

I think the Usecs and Asecs feel the same way.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003759-split-2

And so the need to actually decentralize

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003760

it. Meron ho kayong magandang programa na

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003761

it is a humble program but I think it is effective. It sends the right signal. Ito pong Book Nook ninyo,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003762

Book Nook where you install parang libraries or reading hubs.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003763

Napuna ko ho meron akong isa sa Bataan, sa Pilar. Baka naman po dagdagan po natin

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003764

dagdagan po natin sa First District, anywhere in Hermosa or [unclear], like a Book Nook program. Sana ho puwede ho ba?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003765

Yes, Your Honor. We will.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003765-split-2

Ayan ha.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003765-split-3

We will make sure.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003765-split-4

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003766

But I am in full support of DepEd because I am a father to

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003769

three daughters, and I firmly believe in education. I hope that

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003770

sana ho yung mga recommendation po ng EDCOM 2 na magawan po ng ating paraan so that we can

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003771

move the needle, gain some traction over the years.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003772

Maraming salamat po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003772-split-2

That is well taken. Maraming salamat po,

asr-003773-split-2

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-003773-split-3

Next to ask a question is Representative Bong Suntay.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003773-split-4

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003774

Magandang hapon, Secretary, and to DepEd. Well, I think there is no argument that a

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003775

lot of countries have prosper and develop because of the Investment because of the

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003776

Investment made in education Singapore for one has no natural resources but they

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003777

they're one of the most prosperous because of the educated citizens indeed

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003778

that they have

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003779

Kaya dito sa atin, nabanggit kanina ni Cong Presley, nakakalungkot.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003780

Dati sa Asia, we were among the highest.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003781

Now, if we follow yung PISA results assessment, we are among the lowest.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003782

And it has been consistent that nandoon tayo sa lowest.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003783

Magsimula muna ako dito sa appropriations natin, Secretary.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003784

For fiscal year 2025, it was P734 billion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003785

It was increased noong 2026 to 958 billion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003786

Noong 2027, bumaba naman to 914 billion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003787

So yung total expenditure program declined by 3.9%.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003788

Bakit po naging ganoon?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003789

Eh alam naman natin na kailangan na kailangan yung education.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003790

Yes, sir. We ask for a bigger budget.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003792

Opo. Tama ho kayo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003793

Tama yung figures na sinite ninyo, Cong Suntay, Cong Bong.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003794

But unfortunately, hindi natin control yung final figure natin.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003795

We proposed a much bigger figure,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003796

1.1 trillion to the DBM.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003797

But, of course, we realize there's a lot of…

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003798

We're not the only agency arguing for a larger budget.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003799

So, that's the reality we face.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003800

But, hopefully…

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003801

Dahil nasa initial phase pa lang tayo ng budget process,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003802

baka madagdagan ito over time.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003803

Because the increase that you mentioned from 2025 to 2026

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003804

was largely the product of congressional insertion.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003805

So, for 2027, capital outlay is earmarked at P32.33 billion

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003806

compared approximately to the P99.47 billion for fiscal year 2026.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003807

So, roughly, a reduction of 67.5%

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003808

So pagka tinitingnan ko, parang

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003809

counterintuitive yung fiscal direction natin.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003810

Because DePED acknowledges that there is a shortage of classrooms.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003811

But, at the same time,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003812

binawasan by 67.5% yung for classrooms.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003813

What could be the reason?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003814

I think it is largely the level of the 2026 NEP.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003815

Nadagdagan ho talaga yung capital outlay

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003816

ng 2026 budget during the congressional stage, Your Honor,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003817

during the congressional stage, Your Honor,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003818

dito sa House at saka sa Senado,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003819

doon nadagdagan nang malaki.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003820

And I think in the bicameral as well,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003821

nadagdagan din ho siya.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003822

And, of course, I'm sure you're also aware

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003823

na medyo sumama rin yung lagay ng ating ekonomiya.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003824

So, I think the collections are also probably not as good

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003825

as anticipated, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003826

Kagaya sir ng nabanggit ninyo kanina,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003827

lumaki yung budget allocation mainly because of congressional insertions.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003828

Maraming mga nalagay na pondo

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003829

sa iba?t ibang distrito,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003830

which did not result in an equitable distribution

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003831

ng talagang kailangan dito sa bansa natin.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003832

For example, in terms of school building.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003833

Pag tinitingnan ko kasi yung performance,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003834

for 2025, the target for new classrooms to be constructed

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003835

was supposedly 6,000,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003836

pero 99 lang yung natapos.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003837

It is an accomplishment rate of 1.65%.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003838

For 2026, supposedly 4,869 new classrooms. Pero palagay ko we are also short. Pero for 2027

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003839

ang target na lang, ilan na lang? Ano yung mainly dahilan, Sec, kung bakit hindi

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003840

sobrang layo sa target nitong na-accomplish?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003840-split-2

I think maybe absorptive capacity is one.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003841

capacities one really took on a lot of projects the infrastructure agencies

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003842

Another is priorities. Baka hindi naging priority din ang school buildings.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003843

why the president suggested a approach where we use the local government unit

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003844

capacities your honor so

Source

Kayo po sa QC, sa mga lungsod na sanay na gumawa ng classrooms, we have signed

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003846

memoranda with all of them all the city practically all the cities practically

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003847

all the provinces and some municipalities with the capability to to bid out

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003848

classrooms. We have now signed with about 300-plus LGUs. So I

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003849

anticipate we don't see the results yet but infrastructure is a little slow

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003850

moving

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003851

kumpara po sa

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003852

capital

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003853

capital outlay is a little more slow-moving than personnel services or MOOE. It is really the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003854

slowest moving item if we look at it on a one and a half or two year horizon I

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003855

think the utilization of the budget would be much better

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003856

Yeah, kasi I hope it would become effective rin, kasi kagaya for 2026, a new policy direction

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003857

was done by DepEd and DPWH, di ba? Kinlasterize yung mga construction

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003860

of new school buildings, especially for mga LGUs that do not have the capacity to bid out and construct the projects.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003861

Pero even if it was clusterized for 2026,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003862

ang laki pa rin ng shortfall. It did not result in the number of classrooms that was really needed.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003863

well still early in the day your honor I think many of these classrooms and lgs are in the process

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003865

of uh bidding out these classrooms and uh i've seen some who are already constructing so i think

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003866

the situation will change very much in the next few months, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003866-split-2

Okay, in terms of

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003867

prioritization nitong school building, do we have a master list kung ano dapat unahin, kung saan dapat lagyan? At nasusundan ba yung master list na ito?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003868

Well, we have a congestion index, Your Honor. I mean it is indicative of the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003869

uh and of course our priorities really the most crowded schools which are the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003870

those with two or three shifts your honor so many of these cluster in uh the urban areas

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003871

particularly ncr region 3 region 4a region 7 among others

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003872

Second, we have the?

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003872-split-2

Is this master list published

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003873

para makita ng lahat kung saan napupunta, and everyone can follow kung talagang kung may isang lugar na in-allocate, kung nagawa doon o hindi? So that everyone could follow it.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003874

Puwede pong makakuha before plenary? And then, well,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003874-split-2

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003875

magkaiba yung result ng EDCOM 2. I think ang sinabi nilang shortage was 166,000 classrooms. DepEd naman, I think nasa 140,000.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003875-split-2

We already updated their figures, Your Honor. They were using an

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003876

older figure, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003877

So mas tama yung 143 na given?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003877-split-2

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003877-split-3

Now, with regards

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003878

naman doon sa ating senior high school

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003879

voucher program,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003880

I think nagkaroon tayo ng problema dito with regards to yung mga ghost beneficiaries. Ano yung ginawa nating bagong control, safeguard, so that hindi na maulit ito?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003880-split-2

Your Honor, there were admittedly not too many safeguards before, so now we have instituted

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003881

many safeguards at various levels so at the school level

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003882

at the level of PEAC, which is the council that grants the vouchers, which DepEd chairs.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003883

so there's five layers of validation your honor number one there's validation via the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003884

learner information system or lis through the application programming interface so this

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003885

cross checks the the information or the lis of depth and confirm that learners are actually

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003886

enrolled in the school

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003887

Pangalawa, yung central office validation. This is a second layer of validation which reviews billing statements

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003888

at the central office level to identify discrepancies with the LIS.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003889

So payments are not made until issues are resolved. Dati kasi bayad kaagad si DepEd. Number three, we have post-audit monitoring by PEAC, which administers the voucher system. PEAC conducts post-audit visits to participating private schools to check compliance with guidelines and accuracy of submitted data. Naging masigasig na rin po dito ang PEAC

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003891

because ayaw nilang?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003892

the violators are not the traditional schools but some of these new schools which sprouted out

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003893

in the wake of K-to-12 reform para lang makapag-provide ng senior high school

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003894

pero maraming ghost beneficiaries, Your Honor. Pang-apat po, yung regional offices and school division offices also conduct on-site

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003895

inspections and submit reports for further validation. At panghuli, end-of-school-year PEAC

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003896

validation, where PEAC conducts a final validation at the end of the school year

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003897

to confirm the learner is still enrolled and up-to-date yung kanyang enrollment status.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003898

At siguro idagdag ko na rin po yung fact na nag-file tayo ng maraming kaso, and we have secured one conviction. One conviction from the RTC, and we have four cases filed, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003899

So I think there will be a deterrent effect, kasi

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003900

dati matatapang po yung mga eskwelahan at talagang nagbi-build sila ng mga fictitious. But now I do not think people will

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003901

think twice before doing this modus operandi.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003901-split-2

So, Sec, it would be safe to say that with

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003902

the implementation of these new regulations and safeguards, hindi na? we would be able to minimize,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003903

mahirap naman sabihin na totally it will be eradicated, but it will drastically minimize the occurrence

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003904

of a repeat of that problem.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003904-split-2

Tama po, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003904-split-3

And then lastly,

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003905

uh of course it's one thing if we want to invest in education it's one thing to construct

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003906

school buildings

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003907

classrooms it's another thing

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003908

kailangan equally mag-invest rin tayo sa

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003909

capability at capacity

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003910

ng mga teachers naman natin to improve.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003911

in fact if we compare

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003912

kagaya sa

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003913

China, last September

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003914

meron silang ni-launch na AI Plus Education program.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003915

Naging mandatory yung

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003916

AI education for

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003917

as early as primary school

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003918

elementary pupils. Parang napag-iwanan na tayo nang husto.

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003919

so what percentage of the budget would be utilized to improve the skills of the teachers

Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003920

and maybe upgrade yung ating curriculum?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003921

We have a 3 billion budget with the National Educators Academy of the Philippines, or NEAP.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003922

that's to train that's the body which trains our uh our teachers in depth ed your honor so

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003923

that one will really need to modernize what we teach them and

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003924

make sure it's responsive to the needs of the education system and our learners and we also have a

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003925

One innovation we pursued is we have a very good AI center, the ECAIR,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003926

for artificial intelligence research which has 115 million budget of course we'd like to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003927

give them more but they have really helped us approach problems from a different dimension so

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003928

Yung AI influences teachers; it also influences the central office in how we approach problems.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003929

It makes life, like yung problem of congestion for instance,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003930

nai-match nila sa mga private schools. So we talked about the voucher system.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003931

very well the problems that depth ed faces including stunting including some of our

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003932

infrastructure projects uh whether we have a new system where uh they're able to predict how many

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003933

schools will be affected by a given typhoon approaching, so that the night before mag-suspend na ng pasok

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003934

and

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003935

you can already distribute learning materials hindi na after the fact, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003936

honor so these are some of the things that the technology is uh helping us be better at our jobs

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003937

Your Honor.

asr-003937-split-2

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003942

Baka it could be compensated in some other way.

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003943

If you look, naalala ko nung bata ako mataas na yung tubig, may pasok pa rin, but you know it allows us to learn more. At

Magandang hapon sa napakagaling na kalihim ng DepEd.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003956

Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, tama po ba

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003957

na sa 2027 NEP ninyo ay bumaba

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003958

mula 958.7 billion to 914.2 billion pesos?

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003959

Mas mababa ng 44.4 billion.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003960

At ang capital outlay ay bumaba rin

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003961

mula 90.3 billion to 30.5 billion na lang.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003962

Halos two thirds ang nawala.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003963

Two thirds?

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003964

Yes. Two thirds of the capital outlay.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003965

Tama po iyon, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003966

Okay. Thank you.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003967

Yung sa carryover na mga funds, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary,

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003968

Observe natin na halos taon-taon meron mga 50 to 60 billion na na-carry over sa kalipas na taon at sa susunod na taon.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003969

Yung 54.8 billion pesos mula sa 2025 funds na na-carry over sa 2026 as unspent o hindi na gamit.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003970

At ang funds na ito ay mag-expire ba sa December 31 this year?

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003971

At ang main reasons ba nito ay ang late release, procurement timelines, at yung one-year window lang para sa three-year building and not refusal to spend the funds mula sa department?

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003972

Mr. Chair, Madam Chair.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003973

Thank you, Madam Chair, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003974

Kasi yung school year po hindi tugma sa calendar year. Kaya yung programa na-implement in the second semester.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003975

So carry over talaga po siya sa next year.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003976

So things like feeding, ginaganap po yun sa second semester.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003977

So yung bayad doon, second semester din po. Kaya nakikary over po siya.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003978

Kasama po dyan yung voucher system.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003979

Hindi basta-basta tayo nagbabayad in advance.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003980

Tine-check mo natin doon sa pagtatanong ni Kong Suntay na ibanggit po namin.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003981

Meron tayong mga safeguards.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003982

And one of these is the payment after.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003983

Bina-verify natin.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003984

Dati kasi binabayaran na lang ng...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003985

ng DepEd.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003986

Ngayon talagang maingat na po tayo sa pagbayad at ini-insure natin na walang ghost beneficiaries at talagang naka-enroll po yung bata.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003987

Paano makatulong ang house nito, Mr. Secretary?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003988

Kasi one year lang yung ano eh.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003989

Tumatanggap naman po kami ng dagdag na budget kung...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003990

Kung naisipan ninyong dagdagan, pwede rin oh.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003991

Okay. Dapat dagdagan, no?

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003992

Doon naman sa classrooms, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003993

Mr. Secretary, na ang target sa NEP ninyo sa classrooms ay para sa 2027 ay 700 from 4,869 this year, 2026.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003994

Against sa backlog natin na halos 145,000.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003995

At sa 24,964 classrooms funded in 2026, ilan dito ang makakomplete doon sa 2027, ilan din ang makakomplete doon sa 2028,

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003996

at ilan din ang bagong classroom kaya.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-003997

Isimula ng 2027.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003998

Mahirap po isagutin po yun dahil hindi na po ahensya ang gagawahulat ng construction eh.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-003999

So, ibig sabihin, hindi walang standard time yun.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004000

Depende na po yun sa local government unit kung mabilis siya o mabagal.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004001

Ang sabi sa amin ng ibang gobernador, magagawa nila sa loob ng dalawa to tatlong buwan ang mga classroom projects nila.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004002

So, kung ganun ang sitwasyon, then we should be seeing a lot of...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004003

Sa ating mga classroom projects ang ma-inaugurate sa first half of 2026.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004004

But I think the real construction is a two-year horizon.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004005

In fact, may mga lumalampas pa sa two years.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004006

In fact, nakikita ho natin yung we have classrooms coming or being completed as early, dating back to as early as pre-pandemic pa ho.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004007

So, talagang nagkaroon ng delays.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004008

So mahirap ho sagutin iyon. But definitely ang masasabi ho natin is by the first few months of 2027 mapag-umpisahan na ho natin yung over 30,000 classrooms, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004009

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004010

Sa textbook naman, Madam Chair, yung procurement ng textbook bumaba rin from 19 billion pesos to 6 billion pesos na lang

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004011

sa 2027. At ito yung first year, next year, na every grade

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004012

ng MATATAG curriculum. Anong magiging

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004013

epekto nito para sa ating mga mag-aaral?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004014

estudiante para pwede niyang sulatan pwede siya mag-practice

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004015

pwede niyang iuwi yung libro so yun ang maapektuhan yung textbooks meron mo

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004016

sila

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004017

pero yung workbooks hindi sila mabibigyan lahat

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004018

bakit po mas mababa

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004019

well yan ho ang inalat sa atin ng department of budget and management

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004020

pero sabi ko nga kanina tumatanggap naman ho kami ng

asr-004021

ayuda mula sa house of representatives okay

asr-004022

thank you uh mr secretary doon naman madam chair sa

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004024

DepEd

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004025

ay humingi sa Congress ng four to seven billion pesos para

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004026

mabayaran ang mga guro na nagsilbing ARAL tutors regardless of teaching load

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004027

nila pero bakit wala ngayon sa nep ng 2027.

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004028

Nag-request ho kami ng nine billion for the implementation of the ARAL law, Your Honor,

taon through congressional insertion.

Pero unfortunately

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004040

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004041

sa overload pay o yung allowance

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004042

kailangan mag render muna sila ng six hours

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004043

teaching so sabi ko nga kanina

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004044

mas magiging maluwang na lang tayo dun sa interpretation ng six hours

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004045

so kahit hindi strict teaching siya hindi classroom teaching

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004046

pero participation in certain deaf ed sanctioned activities

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004047

pwede na natin bilangin yun para mabigyan naman sila ng allowance

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004048

dahil sila yung nagsilbing aral tutor your honor

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004053

okay thank you madam chair sa school safety tama ba na noong august 25

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004054

after tacloban and zamboanga incidents ang deep ed ay humingi rin ng separate line item

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004055

para sa proteksyon ng mga mag-aaral pero bakit wala ito sa nep ng 2027

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004056

Magkano yung

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004057

proposed amount sana ninyo

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004058

para dito?

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004059

Kung kukunin ito sa MOOE ng paaralan, yung pambili ng metal detectors, CCTV at ibang mga kagamitan para sa safety and security,

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004060

aagaw pa sa MOOE natin doon sa bayarin ng kuryente, Mr. Secretary.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004061

well hindi sapat po yung MOOE ng mga eskwelahan sa pagbayad po ng security guard

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004062

at pagbili po ng ibang kagamitan at pati sa pagfe-fence dahil masyadong malaki po yung requirement nito

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004063

at sa katanungan po ninyo kung bakit di siya nasama sa nep kasi naipasa na po yung nep sa kongreso by that time your honor

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004064

kaya ngayon po kami nagbibigay ng request to fund all of these requirements dahil nag-conduct po kami ng school audit

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004065

Tinanong natin lahat nung over 40,000 schools ano yung kakulangan nila in terms of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004066

providing

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004067

providing what we might term an ideal setup to ensure a safe school. Ito po yung mga sagot nila.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004068

yung iba walang bakod, yung iba walang security guard, yung iba local government ang nagbibigay ng security guard

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004069

yung iba sira na po yung bakod nila so may pumapasok at labas lang po sa kanilang mga eskwelahan

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004070

Okay, Madam Chair, for the record, ang 54 billion pesos na hindi nagastos ay

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004071

totoo at totoo rin

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004072

ang reason ng DBM. Pero ang pag-cut ng 44 billion pesos ay hindi solusyon sa problemang ito.

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004073

hindi ito nakakatulong para sa kapakanan ng ating mga mag-aaral

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004074

Through this representation, Madam Chair, I manifest na sana naman ay dagdagan ng pondo ang DepEd

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004075

at huwag nating bawasan dahil lang sa isyo ng unspent funds or underutilization isyo dahil mga kabataan ang matatamaan

Source

Rep. Elmer V. Catulpos

asr-004076

maraming salamat madam chair

maraming salamat madam chair

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-004079

next to us question is from the minority the chair would like to recognize representative Robert Nazal

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004080

thank you madam chair

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004081

good afternoon to Mr. Secretary

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004082

Gandang hapon po, Cong Robert.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004083

good afternoon to the DPED family

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004084

I'll go right to my questions

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004085

Mr. Chair

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004086

the anti-bullying act says severe or repeated

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004087

so even one severe act of physical violence can already qualify as bullying

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004088

tama po ba?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004089

tama ho in fact it does not have to amount to violence

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004090

it doesn't have to be a physical act it can be a threat

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004091

or even the words can amount to bullying already

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004092

so given that po will DPED direct schools not to dismiss serious violence simply because

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004093

first offensya or hindi repetitive and require immediate protection of the victim?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004094

yes your honor we'll do that

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004095

thank you thank you for that Mr. Chair

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004096

Mr. Chair we support on age appropriateness lang po

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004097

We support RH education and we support LGBTQIA learners from discrimination.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004098

ang concern lang po namin age appropriateness

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004099

Secretary kasi may material po na inuugnay sa grade 1 which says

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004100

kung ikaw ay isang lalaki na may pusong babae

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004101

o kaya ay isang babae na may pusong lalaki

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004102

tanggapin mo ito

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004103

ipakita ang tunay na ikaw

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004104

Is this actually an approved Grade 1 DepEd material?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004105

yes or no

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004106

I'll have to ask our learning system strand with your indulgence Madam Chair your honor

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004107

Baka Janir, ikaw ba gumawa?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004108

we need to verify your honor maybe if you could help us by pointing out the source of the document

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004109

then we could identify because like in private schools for instance your honor

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004110

di na po dumadaan sa atin yung approval for approval ng mga materials although they are obliged to comply

Rep. Roberto Nazal

Rep. Roberto Nazal

grade 1 po ito grade 1

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004116

material na sinisirculate po sa grade 1

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004117

but is it why don't we ask our region where

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004118

we're checking because for grade 1 the titles are procured at the regional level your honor

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004119

so we're checking now with our regional directors if that is a DPED sanctioned publication

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004120

ito po yung exact page eh

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004121

within the material

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004122

we will check your honor

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004123

may we ask may we beg your indulgence for a bit of time to check your honor

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004124

yes Secretary

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004125

if it's all right maybe we can proceed to the next question Madam Chair your honor

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-004126

yes sir please proceed to the next question

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004127

while we're soliciting the information being sought your honor

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004128

okay for sec Madam Chair

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004129

your pride month memorandum also allowed field offices

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004130

and schools to adopt pride month activities

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004131

does this extend to elementary learners sa grade school po

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004132

we don't require students to attend these events your honor

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004133

I ask kasi po we received a complaint from a parent whose grade 2 child

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004134

was reported reportedly made to participate in a pride month celebration

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004135

so kung ganun po what is DPED scientific

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004136

and child development basis for determining that these activities are age appropriate for children

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004137

as young as grade 1 and grade 2

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004138

ito po yung mga advertisement or yung mga para yung mga pinost ng schools

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004139

etong school ay Molino Elementary

asr-004141

Bacoor

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004142

Kainta

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004143

I don?t think these should be sanctioned events,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004144

or we should not impose attendance at these events.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004145

if ever they are they should be purely voluntary your honor

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004146

then what will DPED do Mr. Secretary Madam Chair

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004147

para hindi po maging mandatory ito tsaka parang nagiging ano na ho eh

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004148

parang nationally sanctioned event eh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004149

we have an existing policy that it should

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004150

only apply to employees if they wish

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004151

and not to the learners your honor

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004152

so we can we will reiterate that policy

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004153

and make sure there is no coercion or compulsion

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004154

in these activities your honor

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004155

thank you for that

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004156

baka po we can come up with a specific policy

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004157

na pwede na natin ilabas

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004158

and a memorandum immediately

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004159

we can do a reiteration we can do that ASAP your honor

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004160

thank you for that Mr. Chair

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004161

thank you for that Madam Chair Mr. Secretary Madam Chair

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004162

I'll go to my next question

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004163

Mr. Chair DPED now accommodates APDS loans up to seven years

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004164

but the Magna Carta prohibits salary deductions

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004165

except under authority of law

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004166

while the GAA authority for authorized deductions is enacted annually

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004167

so my question is what is DPED's specific legal basis

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004168

for accommodating automatic payroll deductions?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004169

for seven years

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004170

and this is not just a legal issue Madam Chair Mr. Secretary

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004171

documented na rin ang problema ng teachers na may multiple loans

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004172

sa ATM at halos wala nang nauuwing sweldo dahil lubog na po sa utang.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004173

before extending the loan period to seven years

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004174

did DPED study whether this helps teachers

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004175

or simply keeps them indebted longer

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004176

how many teachers today have multiple APDS loans

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004177

and what is their actual average and median take home pay after deductions?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004178

meron po ba tayong data?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004179

your honor yung we're still compliant with the GAA provision

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004180

which requires that the 5,000 net must take home pay of the teacher

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004181

cannot be touched by financial institutions

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004182

and yun po ang clamor ng ating mga teachers for a longer payment period

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004183

and lower interest of course

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004184

so I think yung mga when we consulted teachers and financial institutions

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004185

they said they're limited by the BSP regulations on this

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004186

so sumulat kami sa Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas or BSP

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004187

para humingi ng opinion at kung pwedeng i-extend po sa seven years

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004188

as requested by our teachers

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004189

because many of our teachers stay in the department for a long time

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004190

and they're willing to have these longer loans

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004191

your honor

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004192

so pumayag naman ho

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004193

sa mabuting palad

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004194

pumayag naman ho ang BSP

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004195

so now we are enforcing or

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004196

it's just an option

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004197

there's no compulsion on the part of the teacher to enter into a seven year loan

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004198

it's an option that they

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004199

it's like an item on a menu

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004200

they can order it if they wish

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004201

if they don't wish to enter

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004202

to engage in a seven or to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004203

incur a seven year obligation

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004204

there is no compulsion on them to incur it your honor

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004205

so if magiging applicable sa kanilang seven years

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004206

they have to sign an agreement?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004207

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004208

It's purely voluntary on their part.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004209

Yes.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004210

We are also receiving information

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004211

that some teachers are paying around 3.5%

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004212

on interest per month

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004213

or roughly 42% per year

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004214

if simply annualized.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004215

Is that correct?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004216

And what is the highest interest rate

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004217

being charged by an APDS accredited lender?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004218

And does DEPED impose any ceiling

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004219

on interest or total charges?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004220

Do we have a ceiling?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004221

The ceiling is 9.6% per annum, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004222

So the 3.5% that you said,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004223

those are not accredited, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004224

And no one is complaining to your teachers personally?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004225

There's a few, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004226

But again, it's their choice.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004227

Sometimes, they even alter their salary documents

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004228

to show that they have 5,000 in their balance

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004229

so that they can borrow from others.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004230

So if they have 5,000,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004231

we're asking the financial institutions

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004232

why did you borrow from this teacher?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004233

We're showing them an altered document

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004234

to show that they still have 5,000.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004235

Pero does the BSP allow these institutions

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004236

to charge higher?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004237

They're probably not accredited institutions of the BSP.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004238

Mga loan sharks na ho iyan.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004239

Pero mayroon na ho kayong mga nahuli na nag-charge ng mas mataas?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004240

Mayroon ho.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004241

We're not the policing authority, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004242

We have no police power in that respect.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004243

Or basically, ni-report ninyo po?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004244

Pwede ho naming i-report iyon.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004245

And tinanggal po ng BSP yung license nila?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004246

Baka walang lisensya ho iyan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004247

Suspetso ko walang lisensya ho iyan.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004248

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004249

I'll go to my next question.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004250

Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004251

Sa NBDB,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004252

COA says that at year-end 2024,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004253

you had 32.4 million in unpaid obligations,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004254

5.26 million already due and demandable,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004255

and 27.14 million not yet due,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004256

while 27.33 million in cash allocations lapsed.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004257

We are also receiving reports

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004258

that translation grants remained unpaid

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004259

while you have a National Book Trust Fund.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004260

So ang tanong ko po,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004261

how much does

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004262

NBDB owe today in all unpaid obligations?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004263

How much is the trust fund balance?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004264

And how much

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004265

may available funds?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004266

Bakit may perang nagla-lapse

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004267

habang may beneficiaries

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004268

and payees na naghihintay?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004269

Kailan po sila babayaran?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004270

Madam Chair, Your Honor,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004271

may I ask NBDB to respond to the query?

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-004272

The chair of NBDB is recognized.

Source

NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade

asr-004279

Hello?

Source

NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade

asr-004280

Can you hear?

Source

NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade

asr-004281

Oh, National Book.

Source

NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade

asr-004282

As regards to the translation grants,

Source

NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade

asr-004287

those are being paid already

Source

NBDB Executive Director Charisse Aquino-Tugade

asr-004288

because those are in tranches.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004289

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004300

appropriations including 9.894 billion from sagip but 10.387 billion remained unobligated

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004301

Kung urgent po enough para humingi ng unprogrammed funds, bakit mahigit 10 billion ang hindi po na-obligate?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004302

Obligated na ho iyon because we just bid it out. Nine billion was bid out last week.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004303

Award na, sorry, na-award na.

next to ask question is uh representative brian yamsuan

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004312

Magandang hapon po sa ating kaibigan, kagalang-galang Kalihim Sonny Angara.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004313

Gandang hapon po, Cong Brian Yamsuan.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004313-split-2

Yes, sir.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004314

Mentor ko po tatay niya. Unang trabaho ko sa gobyerno sa office ni Senator Edgardo J. Angara.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004317

So konti lang po talaga. Oo, konting-kunti lang, kasi ang concern ko lang naman basically doon sa ating GMRC and Values Education Act, kasi nakikita ko may mga reklamo din yung iba nating mga guro doon sa training sa GMRC.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004318

And gusto lang nating malaman kung kamusta na po yung implementasyon ng ating GMRC.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004319

it's still a work in progress i

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004320

think maybe with your permission

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004321

Magda-dial a friend ako, si Usec Oracion, who is in charge of our Learning Systems Strand

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004322

and implementation of GMRC.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004323

Because we're changing it to be more active in the present time, where we see that many

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004324

students come from broken families or OFW families, so it's like the authority figure

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004325

in other families.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004326

So, with the permission of Cong Yamsuan and the Chair, I would like to ask Usec Oracion

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004327

to give details about the implementation of GMRC.

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004328

Good afternoon, sir.

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004329

We really take the implementation of GMRC very seriously.

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004330

We train the teachers in the delivery of the program, and that includes our teachers from

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004331

grades 1 to 10.

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004332

We have sample lessons.

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004333

That we come up with to bring in lessons in GMRC.

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004334

And then that also includes lessons for multi-grade classes.

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004335

And then we also make sure that apart from being a subject area in itself, values are

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004336

integrated in our other subject areas and are brought in our textbooks and teachers'

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004337

manual.

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004338

So, we have that there.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004339

I will also follow up with Yusek Oracion because last December 2025 you conducted a baseline

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004340

survey on your Bureau of Learning Delivery.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004341

There were FGDs, teacher questionnaires, but so far there hasn't been any result.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004342

There hasn't been data that comes out based on that survey, which is I think very essential

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004343

to our school system.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004344

Kasi importanteng malaman natin kung ano yung mga concerns sa bawat eskwelahan,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004345

whether public or private para ng sa ganun malaman din natin kung nasaan yung sitwasyon

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004346

ng mga kumbaga problema doon sa ating mga eskwelahan the results have certainly been

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004347

collected and consolidated po and they were used to inform the preparation of our materials

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004348

maybe what we can do is to share with the public relevant portions of the results

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004349

tama po kasi importante rin na malaman natin kung nasaan na yung ating mga kumbaga GMRCs

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004350

and values education act program kasi sa mga nangyayari in the past nakikita natin parang

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004351

kakasunod-sunod I think ito moral foundation na ng ating bansa yung nakataya dito future of

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004352

our nation kung yung mga estudyante nating bata ay nasa ganitong

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004353

klaseng psyche, kailangan nating i-address at mas lalong patibayin yung implementation ng

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004354

GMRC and values education act kasi nawawala na po yung mga minsan yung simple pag-opo at opo sa ating

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004355

mga kabataan at ayaw natin masira yung moral fiber the Philippines being known as a very hospitable

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004356

kumbaga constituency na nandun yung po at opo lagi so tingin ko kailangan natin patatagin lang yung ating

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004357

system sa GMRC and Values Education Act and proper training of teachers.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004358

Kasi ang balita ho namin parang three-day seminar lang, webinar nga eh, hindi pa nga

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004359

ho face-to-face yung ating interaction with our school teachers and I think we

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004360

should focus more dun sa values education especially now na nangyayari

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004361

itong mga problema sa atin ngayon. Tama po ang sinasabi ninyo values education has become

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004362

more critical than ever and we thank you for your keen interest in this

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004363

certainly po values education cannot just be the responsibility of our

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004364

schools and so we really appreciate your interest to work with us on this.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004365

Oo kasi ma'am ano sa nangyayari mga kaguluhan in the past two years tatlohong biktima doon galing sa distrito ko so kaya very keen ako doon sa values education talaga kasi

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004366

kailangan talagang

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004367

talagang magkaroon ng pagbabago and kung kailangan ninyo kami

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004368

to help doon sa bottom-up governance natin, yung whole-of-nation

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004369

approach, we really welcome kung ano yung mga inputs na pwede ninyong ibigay para

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004370

nang sa ganon matulungan yung ating mga mag-aaral doon sa lugar namin para at least kahit paano

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004371

mapalakas natin yung moral fiber ng mga taong nandun especially yung mga nasa mihirap na lugar.

Source

DepEd Undersecretary Carmela C. Oracion

asr-004372

Thank you po. You have our assurance po.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004373

Thank you so much, Usec.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004374

Usec, ano naman doon sa

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004375

sa school-based mental health program kasi alam ko malaki ang problema mo talaga in terms of

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004376

budget and uh resources and also personnel kulang na kulang na yung ating mga mental health based

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004377

professionals and uh in fact i filed the bill na parang mag incentivize pa dun sa mga papasok

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004378

sa ganoon kasing mga gawain at mga kurso uh gusto ko lang malaman sec under sagaan natin

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004379

2.9 billion yung allocation sa implementation ng basic education mental health and well-being

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004380

promotions act uh ang kinukover na ten thousand school counselor associate nasaan na ngayon yung

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004381

ano kumbaga kaya ba natin makapag uh recruit ng ganoon kaya ba natin makapag uh recruit ng

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004383

ganoon karaming mga mental health professionals for next year

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004384

Opo. Ang maganda ho diyan, hindi naman kailangan may master?s degree yung maha-hire nating school counselor associates. In fact, a teacher with a certain?ilang units iyon?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004385

With 18 units in behavioral science or psychology would qualify, actually.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004386

Yung iba teachers na nga ang nag-a-apply, if I?m not mistaken. So unlike the situation of guidance

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004387

counselors where a master?s degree is necessary, hindi na po natin kailangan dito sa pag-hire ng school counselor associates.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004388

Mas gumagalaw po yung hiring natin. It?s a priority of all our regions, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004389

Thank you, Sec. Ito last question na lang po regarding doon sa K to 12 program natin. Handa na ba yung mga estudyante natin

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004390

for adult life pag-graduate ng K to 12?

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004391

Magandang tanong iyan, Cong.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004392

Your Honor, Madam Chair, kasi iyon ang

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004393

feedback namin from many employers na parang yung attitude ng mga hina-hire nilang

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004394

senior high graduates ay parang hilaw pa at parang hindi sanay sa eight-hour work day yung ating mga graduates.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004395

So some of the interventions, alinsunod na rin sa instruction ng ating mahal na Pangulo,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004396

is uh to increase the on-the-job training or the number of hours spent in uh workplaces so

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004397

uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004398

um employers to and industries to absorb um learners

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004399

upon

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004400

ang learners na po natin ay

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004401

ang goal natin is umakyat sa

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004402

640

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004403

hours of uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004404

on-the-job training

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004405

kumpara doon sa

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004406

ngayon, 80 to 160 hours;

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004407

marami na, sobrang dami na ho yung 300 hours. Pero in our consultations with the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004408

industry associations and other employers

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004409

iyon ang sabi nilang kakailanganin nila para

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004410

matingnan na rin nila yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004411

um

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004412

fitness at ma-train nila

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004413

ang talagang maayos

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004414

yung kakayahan at skills at kasanayan

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004415

ng isang future employee.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004416

At ang kagandahan yan, pag nakilala

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004417

na ho talaga ng employer,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004418

mas malaki na ho yung chance na siya

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004419

ay mahahire pagka-graduate niya.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004420

Dahil,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004421

nag-invest na rin sa training yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004422

employer na nag-employ sa kanya

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004423

sa on-the-job trainee, your honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004424

So that's one. Tapos, we have

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004425

this new subject in the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004426

curriculum called life skills.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004427

So it's not just a purely academic

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004428

subject, but also

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004429

anything that we believe would

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004430

make that person

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004431

a good employee or a good

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004432

entrepreneur or a good

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004433

college student,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004434

whatever path he chooses to pursue

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004435

after. In the sense that we teach

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004436

things like growth mindset, because

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004437

ang kalungkutan ho is,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004438

napakalungkot ho is that a

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004439

survey of our students

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004440

showed

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004441

Ah,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004442

talagang

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004443

overwhelming majority do not believe that their lives will be bettered by education. So wala po yung growth mindset sa kanila.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004444

So we?re trying to change that because alam naman natin all over the world education is key to a person?s success.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004445

May mga studies: each year you add to education may karagdagang dagdag sa sahod o future income prospects ng isang learner. So things like that,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004446

how to be a good employee things things like uh many many many things which are not normally

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004447

taught uh in in the formal curriculum we're trying to uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004448

to imbibe also a little bit of ai a little bit of because that's the wave of the future

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004449

uh a little bit of future skills also whatever so it's it's a changing curriculum in the sense

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004450

or a changing subject whatever the workplace of tomorrow will demand your honor uh

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004451

Kaya ko nabanggit, Sec, kasi ngayon may recent article ng Wall Street Journal na sinasabi yung mga K to 12 graduates ngayon sa America may resurgence sa hiring. Mas maraming naha-hire na graduate ng

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004452

kanilang senior high kaysa yung mga college graduates. Kaya ako natanong kasi alam ninyo naman ang sitwasyon sa Pilipinas, napakahirap. Yung iba hindi na nakakapag-kolehiyo. Hanggang senior high lang yung kinakaya.

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004453

Minsan nga hindi pa; hanggang junior high lang. So gusto ko lang ma-prepare yung mga kababayan natin, lalo na yung nanggagaling sa laylayan ng lipunan,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004454

na makahanda sila, to be prepared doon sa realities ng buhay.

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004489

sisiguraduhin namin na kung ano man yung mga request, put it in writing,

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004490

para nang sa ganon

Source

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

asr-004491

ma-deliberate namin by this

coming

Rep. Brian Raymund S. Yamsuan

Para kung ano man yung mga karagdagang pangangailangan sa GMRC and Values Education Act at saka yung problema natin sa K to 12 program ay masolusyunan natin. Bilin din ng Pangulo iyan na mas malaki ang budget dapat ang edukasyon at bigyan natin ng pansin yung mga kailangan talaga ng ating bansa. So with that, I manifest my full support in the

Sonny Angara. Good afternoon. My question will be regarding

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004509

Cagayan de Oro; its population is burgeoning because Cagayan de Oro is the

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004510

capital of Region 10 and work is available there. So people from the

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004511

region, from Lanao del Norte, from Misamis Occidental, from Misamis Oriental,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004512

Camiguin, Bukidnon, they come to Cagayan de Oro to work; and when they

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004513

come to Cagayan de Oro, they bring with them their children, and so our shortage of

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004514

classrooms is very acute, nasa more than 3,000. So my question is, we thank you for

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004515

our allocation for this year my question is when are we going to download because

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004516

because we are suffering now. There are

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004519

classes which have

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004521

an afternoon and a morning class, and

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004523

some are already outside the classroom.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004525

So maybe not from the Secretary;

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004527

this goes to all our colleagues: when is

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004529

our DepEd allocation downloaded to DPWH?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004531

Thank you. You have downloaded to the

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004533

local governments. But DepEd to the

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004535

public works.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004536

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004537

Downloaded.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004538

We?ve transmitted already to DPWH, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004539

So I think they have commenced the process of procurement for the classrooms, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004540

Yeah, but it has not been, they have not yet received.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004541

The second district, Cagayan de Oro City.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004542

That's a central office.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004543

It's probably with the central office of DPWH, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004544

I will follow up, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004545

Thank you for that, Secretary.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004546

Welcome, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004547

Now, because of that answer, I am therefore compelled to move for the approval of the budget of the DepEd.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004548

And not only that, Madam Chairperson, I have seen the video earlier this morning.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004549

I have just to go to the judiciary.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004550

I am the one in charge in the budget.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004551

That's why we just finished it there.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004552

So I saw the report.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004553

And then we heard our Secretary.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004554

So we can only say that this department has been performing excellently.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004555

Together we attach agencies.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004556

And because of that, Madam Chair, I therefore would support the augmentation of the budget of the DepEd.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004557

They have asked for 145 billion only.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004558

But to be doable.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004559

I think we should ask Secretary Angara.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004560

We cannot give the $145 billion.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004561

It's doable, but cannot be done.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004562

So if we can have a listing of priorities to the tune of about 20 billion.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004563

So please submit.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004564

Because I was just talking to Chairman Mika.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004565

There will be a meeting.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004566

And we are going to receive the priority projects of each department, especially yours.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004567

We'll do that, sir.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004568

Because of the outstanding performance.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004569

Thank you very much, sir.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004570

And then, of course, because I see here my good friends.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004571

Charisse Tugade there.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004572

Jeremy Barns.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004573

The chairman of the [unclear].

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004574

Now, I would move also, aside from the 20 billion, Madam Chair, we restore the small amount of 1.7 billion for the six agencies.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004575

What are these?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004576

Well, National Book Development Board.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004577

Charisse Tugade is there.

She made sure that I had a very good

Only $61 million.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004582

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004583

My goodness, doing very well.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004584

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004585

National Academy of Sports and Teacher Education Council.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004586

Therefore, in the proper time, I will move for the submission of the 20 billion request.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004587

Priority projects of the Office of the Secretary.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004588

And then, 1.7 billion.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004589

So that we can make sure our touch agencies have the tools to continue to serve our people.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004590

And so, with that, Madam Chair, I would like to move in the proper time.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004591

See?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004592

The bell has rung because I'm moving already.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004593

Because of the outstanding performance of Secretary Angara and the USEC and the ASEC and all.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004594

Especially our Regional Director, Ruth Fuentes.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004595

Where are you?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004596

Face the camera.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004597

Saan si Ruth?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004598

There you are.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004599

She is our Regional Director in Region 10.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004600

The wife of Mayor Busami is Mayor Fuentes.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004601

So, therefore, see, we have been working together to make sure that we are able to give to our children what is due them.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004602

And with that, Madam Chair, I therefore move that only for the approval, in the proper time, approval of the budget as approved by NEP.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004603

But in addition, augmentation of 20 billion.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004604

So that we can support the additional request of our Secretary and the 1.7 billion for all the agencies.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004605

And I'm going to inform, Chairman, that from now on, I'm filing a bill that we will not reduce the budget every year of the Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004606

No more.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004607

We cannot.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004608

The Constitution provides that the state shall afford, shall always give priority to education.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004609

And then, according to Article 14 of the Education, each citizen, the state, shall promote the citizens' right to quality education at all levels.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004610

This starts with the Department of Education for our learners.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004611

With that, Madam Chair, I thank you for the time given to this presentation.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004612

Again, my support to our DepEd and attached agencies.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004613

Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004614

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004615

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-004616

Allow me to put on record our thanks

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-004617

to the gentleman from Cagayan de Oro City.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-004618

And to tell the first-termers that in the 2024 budget, when Cong Rufus moved for approval, we spent 12 more hours in committee after he moved.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-004619

So hopefully we will have a different outcome today.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004620

I moved for the immediate approval out of courtesy, the former.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004621

But after that, it took us 24 hours.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004622

But anyway, I moved for the immediate approval.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-004623

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-004624

Thank you.

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

So next to ask a question is Representative Mica Gonzales.

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004627

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004628

Good afternoon, DepEd family.

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004629

I just have a quick question because from your presentation, Secretary Angara, I saw here

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004630

that there are 1,800 school counselor associates and 221 SDO counselors.

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004631

So, I'd like to ask.

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004634

For this year, 2026, ilan na po ang ating school counselor associates and SDO counselors?

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004635

And itong 1,800, included ba ito from the previous year, or total na po ito from 2026 to 2027?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004636

Magandang hapon po, Cong Mica.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004637

The allocation for the regional school counselor associates is the first allocation. First time we will be given an allocation for the regional

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004639

counselors.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004640

For this year, we have 10,000 items for 10,000 school counselor associates.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004641

And as mentioned earlier, the Civil Service Commission issued last June 30 the qualifications, which is the last step for DepEd to be able to commence the hiring process.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004642

So, we're in the middle of hiring our school counselors associates and filling up the 10,000 positions.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004643

So, all of the regions – all of our regional offices are currently in the process of hiring the school counselor associates, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004644

Oh, thank you.

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004645

you madam chair so out of the 10,000 items for the school counselors how is

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004646

the rate in terms of number of applicants in terms of number of

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004647

successful hires because from the previous I don't know meetings or

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004648

mga previous ano po is may comment na ang hirap pumasok because of the

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004649

qualifications it's either sobrang taas ng standard versus dun sa salary no so I

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004650

would like to clarify the rate of applicants no and the rate of hiring

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004651

Madam Chair.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004651-split-2

Your Honor, according to our head of HR, Usec Cabral, over

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004652

20,000 have applied for the 10,000 positions, so there is no shortfall of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004653

applicants here unlike the case of the guidance counselor

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004654

because of the lowered qualifications.

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004654-split-2

Thank you, Madam Chair. Last

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004655

question po so for the 10,000 items how are you gonna deploy or how do you plan

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004656

Secretary, to distribute the 10,000 applicants or successful hires? Bale, ano, paano ba, sa population, may school?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004657

prioritizing the schools who have a history of high high incidence of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004658

bullying your honor and most of them tend towards the larger schools your

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004659

Honor, because there is congestion, hindi nasu-supervise nang maigi. But it is not

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004660

exclusively limited to to those schools but just as a statistics tell us that

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004661

they're more more likely to happen in these schools your honor and also the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004662

schools implementing the new SHS curriculum. Madalas din po yung possibility ng bullying doon.

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004663

Thank you, Madam Chair. Those are my questions, and I ask the

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004664

specific questions because, as we all know from the previous news,

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004665

mataas na po ang crime rate o ang nangyayari sa ating mga kabataan, and of course you want

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004666

them to be guided of course by their parents but of course their second

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004667

parents which are the teachers and of course the guidance counselor and I

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004668

think through this effort or through this program mas marami tayong

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004669

matutulungan, dahil I think that is what we need.

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004670

that's what they need guidance outside their homes also so thank you madam

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004671

Chair, and I support the swift approval of the budget of DepEd, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Alyssa Michaela "Mica" M. Gonzales

asr-004672

Thank you very much and good afternoon.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004672-split-2

Thank you to the

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004675

Mr. Chair, Magandang tanghali po sa DepEd family.

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004676

Isa lang ho ang katanungan ko at wala pa ho kasi tayong maliwanag na batas hinggil

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004677

doon sa, hinggil puro sa nangyayari sa ating mga eskwelahan.

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004678

Sumikat yung Tacloban, sumikat yung ibang mga lugar sa Ateneo, sa Mwanga, sa mga concern

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004679

ng bawat tao.

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004680

Ngayon po, kahapon po ay sa isang compound.

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004681

Sa NAUST, bilang limang, lima po ang university sa Kabanatuan, isa pong nagmamahalan na isa

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004682

ay galing sa Pampanga at yung isa ay galing doon sa Nueva Ecija, binaril po, binaril po

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004683

yung kanyang girlfriend.

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004686

Tapos binaril po sa, nagbaril po sa sarili yung batang lalaki.

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004687

So, in the absence, in the absence of the law, all encompassing law, I would like to appeal,

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004688

na sana po ay magkaroon ng talagang inter-agency task force na talaga pong mag-ayos nito.

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004689

Mr. Che, yun po lang.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004690

Thank you, Your Honor, Congressman Jay, Madam Chair.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004691

I think you're right, and definitely, in fact, tomorrow we have a scheduled meeting with DICTE, CHED, and other agencies.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004692

To talk about the online aspect of the violence, Your Honor, kasi bahagi rin yun.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004693

Kung anong nakikita ng mga bata online, minsan yun ang gusto nilang mangyari sa labas ng silidaraan o sa loob at labas.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004694

So, definitely, we're most willing to coordinate kasi this incidence of school shootings, maraming aspeto yun eh.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004695

Yung security aspect ng school, yung mental health ng ating learners,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004696

yung ability of our teachers to connect the sense of community within a school, yung gun control measures po natin.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004697

Kung baga tahi-tahi na po itong mga issue natin.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004698

So, we thank you for your concern, sir.

Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-004699

So, gusto ko lamang po sana na ito po ay inampisaan ng aking asawa na si former congressman,

Ang pangunahing layuni ng panukalang batas na ito ay bumuo ng isang pangasiwaan na magbabantay at magtuturo sa mga mag-aaral ng wasto at maingat na paggamit ng internet.

I will file a House Bill that will require the Department of Education, a subject that will specifically deal with the internet.

and social media awareness, and the dangers and risks posed to the young by internet access that include the danger of internet gaming.

Ilan sa mga panganib na kanyang tinukoy ay ang pagsusugal at adiksyon sa mga internet games.

Rep. Rosanna "Ria" V. Vergara

asr-004712

How can a game be the reason for skipping class and losing money?

Source

Rep. Rosanna "Ria" V. Vergara

asr-004713

Because it involves gambling.

Source

Rep. Rosanna "Ria" V. Vergara

asr-004714

And because it is designed by the developers to be addictive.

Kabilang din dito ang Blue Whale Challenge na nag-uudyok sa mga sumasali dito na saktan ang sarili at ang pinakamalala ay udyukan silang magpakamatay.

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004742

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004743

Good afternoon.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004744

Good afternoon to the DepEd family.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004745

Regarding po dun sa...

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004746

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004747

Ay, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004748

Regarding sa ating yung Department of Indigenous Peoples Education, or the IPED,

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004749

we recognize that indigenous peoples have the right to an education that is accessible.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004750

And then my question is that...

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004751

DepEd, actually investing in this program, but then, ang katanungan ko po, doon sa ating special needs, for the special needs education,

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004752

can a DepEd increase the funding for the assessment of children with disabilities and for the procurement of the assistive learning devices and technologies?

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004753

How many learners?

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004754

How many learners have currently waiting for assessment?

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004755

And how many assessed learners still do not have the assistive devices?

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004756

Sa ngayon po.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004757

For the indigenous peoples education for the IPED, because sa aming distrito po,

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004758

parang doon sa SDS po namin is they're going to include as a curriculum sa IPED,

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004759

this indigenous peoples education.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004760

Can we substantially increase din po, and then

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004785

mag-stand alone po siya, kasi included siya doon sa isang program po ninyo, as isang, isa lang po siya na, how do you call this, nakasali siya dito sa, ano ba yan?

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004786

Anong program?

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004787

This one.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004788

Inclusive education.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004789

So 983.8 million.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004790

Ito po yung budget.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004791

But then, nandito na rin kasi, nandaloob na rin ang special needs, madrasah education, indigenous peoples education, and the multi-grade program.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004792

So, and alternative learning system.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004793

Can we increase also budget para dito po, Madam Chair, to our Secretary?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004794

Thank you, Your Honor, Madam Chair.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004795

Yung IP education or indigenous people's education, meron ng sariling line item ho yan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004796

Ganun din ho yung special needs education.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004797

At nag-request ho kami ng 154 million for IPED, pero ang nag-grant lang ho is 76 million.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004798

That's why part of our appeal is the additional 78 million for IP education.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004799

Tapos sa SNED naman ho, ang nirequest ho namin is 1.39 billion, at ang nag-grant ho is 849.9 million.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004800

Kaya meron tayong pending appeal for 541 million additional budget for this SNED special needs education, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004801

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004802

Kasi itong special needs, we really need mag-additional sana po tayo ng budget for this program.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004803

Kasi ang daming ho nating mga kabataan na they really need this additional funding for this program po.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004804

Especially also...

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004805

So, mga indigenous po na may special needs.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004806

And then my second question, I would also...

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004807

Regarding po dun sa katanungan ni Sir, ni Congressman Rufus kanina,

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004808

regarding the allocation, yung bidding for the school buildings for 2026,

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004809

tapos may mga FLR din for the 2025 na hindi na rin...

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004810

Lumabas under 2026.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004811

And then ngayon sa 2027 proposed NEP, wala din yung mga school buildings na yung mga na-wash out during the typhoon.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004812

And then may katanungan din po ako, the computation approximately 2.5 million per school building po ba?

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004813

Sa isang building, even in the mountainous area.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004814

Kasi may mga areas na malalayo yung mga...

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004815

Lugar na walang road, walang access to roads.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004816

And then meron din mga GEDA areas.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004817

Hindi naman sila kasali din sa last mile.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004818

Though it's a regular fund.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004819

May possibility ho ba, Madam Chair, na yung costing mechanism for the school buildings located sa mga GEDA areas,

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004820

lalo na yung mga wala pang roads going to that school.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004821

Na gagawin.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004822

Because yung costing po nila, mag-a-add pa ng manual hauling, multiple handling.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004823

Ganun po, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004824

So, ang katanungan ko po, Madam Chair, kung kay sa ating DepEd family,

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004825

meron ho ba talaga bang uniform the whole Philippines, even you are in the island,

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004826

nasa mountainous area, panawalang daan.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004827

Same ho ba?

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004828

Madam Chair, na 2.5 per classroom.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004829

Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004830

Thank you.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004831

Yeah, there's a range.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004832

I think now it's 3 to 3.5 million.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004833

This was a figure agreed upon with DPWH.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004834

Pero meron talagang mga lugar na malalayo.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004835

Yung freight, maaring iba.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004836

Tapos yung iba, baka iba rin yung fundasyon.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004837

So, mas nagmamahal yun.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004838

And yung binanggit niyo po, Cong Agyao, about the last mile school.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004839

Pag-GEDA school.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004840

Na walang kalsada.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004841

Considered last mile school na rin ho siya.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004842

So, mabibigyan priority siya doon under the LMS program of DepEd, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004843

Thank you, Sec.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004844

Madam Chair, sana po may include po doon sa Kalinga kasi lalo na sa mga Cordillera areas,

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004845

mga provinces, ang dami po naming lugar na hindi po talaga accessible.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004846

But then, still, nandun po rin sila sa 2.5 million na regular fundasyon.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004847

Funding po.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004848

Madam Chair.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004849

Yes, Your Honor, we'll definitely consider.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004850

And, alam natin, 2.5 maka hindi na po sapat ngayon sa kasalukuyan, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004851

Thank you, Madam Chair, and salamat sa ASEC.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004852

Salamat po.

Source

Rep. Caroline B. Agyao

asr-004853

Thank you, thank you to the DepEd family.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-004854

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-004855

Next to ask a question is Representative Shirlyn Ba?as-Nograles.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004858

Magandang hapon po, Sec, and thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004865

Sec, may I just have two concerns po.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004866

First is still on the implementation of Republic Act 12080, or the Basic Education Mental Health Act, Sec.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004867

Because of the prevalence of mental health issues that happened among our schools, public schools,

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004868

in fact, ngayon, we feel that many of our schools, hindi na po siya a safe learning space for our pupils and students.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004869

Just this morning, there was a stabbing incident in one of our public schools in General Santos City,

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004870

among our 15-year-old high school students.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004871

So, SEC, isang nakita natin,

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004872

yung pagtatala ng ating,

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004873

guidance counsellors, diba?

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004874

And it seems that there is a critical manpower shortage.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004875

We have 45,000, if my data is correct, we have 45,000 public schools.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004876

And we have less than, more or less, 1,000 licensed guidance counsellors.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004877

So, talagang napakalaki po ng disparity.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004878

And I understand na to address this,

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004879

meron tayong mga associates,

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004880

Tama po ba, SEC?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004881

Tama po, Congresswoman, yung GCA and SCA, yung associates.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004882

Yes, unless somehow this will be addressed,

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004883

andyan yung fear among parents, no?

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004884

SEC, meron bang, nasa ano ba ng DepEd to come up with a more proactive approach?

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004885

Just like to create a venue for our teachers for continuing learning education.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004886

Yun ba?

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004887

Ibang possible collaboration, a program of DepEd, a possible collaboration with our public schools such as University of the Philippines to come up with a customized courses for our, like, associate counsellors natin, for them for further schooling and provide scholarship.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004888

So, in this way, SEC, ma-address ito, kasi kung wala tayong gagawin, antayin lang natin kung ke sino mag-a-apply o sino yung mag-aaral,

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004889

talagang layo-layo ng gap.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004890

So, I think we need to come up with a more proactive approach dito.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004891

So, kasi itong mga ating associate, they are already experienced in the field.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004892

If we can provide scholarship, customized courses in collaboration,

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004893

for instance, University of the Philippines and other public schools,

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004894

para makapag-aral ang ating mga teachers, and then tailored suits sa kanilang schedule.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004895

So, in that way, they can

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004897

advance their career and at the same time DepEd could assist them, Sec.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004898

Pasensya na po. I was trying to listen with the left and the right ear, yeah, but I heard the question.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004899

about the proactive approach of uh definitely it's something we we aim to do uh and uh we're working

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004900

with uh some psychologists from ateneo to develop or to revamp the uh curriculum and uh we're

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004901

placing a big emphasis on yung tinatawag na socio-emotional learning. Ang presumption dito, hindi talaga matututo ang bata kapag wala siya sa tamang lugar o hindi siya

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004902

he does not feel welcome he or she does not feel welcome in the school or part of the school

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004903

environment or community so you know starting point is a social emotional approach to learning

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004904

so that's how we're trying to approach it but of course uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004905

so please give us some time to to do it but we are we are one with you in uh in your philosophy

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004906

your honor yes like for instance we have how many thousands of associate counselors

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004907

if we can provide scholarship in collaboration with existing public schools or universities

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004908

a customized course course or training for them then they can be eventually become licensed

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004909

and then you can hire another associate so in that way

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004910

rather than just waiting

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004911

actually we're we're already working with jed on that your honor the presidential merit scholarship

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004912

is putting a portion of that for the needs of dep ed and casama putin guidance counselors guidance

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004913

counselor associates uh school counselor associates and the corresponding educational

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004914

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004915

city suffered a 7.8 earthquake and uh more or less 1 400 plus classrooms has been damaged

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004916

um and i um there is an urgent need for the repair of these classrooms considering that

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004917

classes have already started, at sa ngayon po naka-hybrid yung mga classes natin at ang iba po modular kasi wala pa ring magagamit na classroom.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004918

Considering that there has been a shortage of classrooms already, nadagdagan pa dahil nagkaroon ng earthquake,

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004919

and a lot of classrooms classrooms are badly damaged sec uh is it included

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004920

Sec, is it included ba yung repair nito in the 2027 budget? Kasi hinahanap ko, Sec, mukhang wala akong nakikitang budget allocated for it.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004921

there's a budgetary item your honor for five billion for repairs

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004922

so uh we'll definitely prioritize areas like gen sun sarangani

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004923

which were hit by the massive earthquake, Your Honor, rest assured.

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004923-split-2

So we can be assured,

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

asr-004924

Sec, that there will be an allocation for 2027?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-004924-split-2

asr-004928

in our district there is actually a building you know that's supposed to house a museum

Source

Rep. Shirlyn L. Bañas-Nograles

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-004936

as a gateway to the region and other places like that are famous culturally like my tomb in sarangani

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-004965

Yun din ang ano ko na at least magamit din natin.

Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-004966

Sayang din ang investment ng government kung nakatingga lang.

Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-004967

At yung kulang, maliliit na lang, yung mga painting and other furniture.

Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-004968

So hopefully, mapunduhan, Sec.

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-004969

And the other one, po, yung naiwan pa sa UDET na repair and rehab.

Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-004970

And I hope.

Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-004971

So mabigyang pansin din kasi nakatent pa rin yung ibang classroom natin and hopefully

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-004972

magamit na rin ng schools.

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-004992

Afternoon.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-004993

Let's talk AI.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-004994

So, from my understanding, DPEDPo is in the process of implementing and adopting AI, and

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-004995

I fully support this.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-004996

And po, this is a great idea.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-004997

Just a couple of questions to clarify.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-004998

Anong klaseng AI po are we talking about?

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-004999

Because there are many different types. We have predictive analysis, deepfake,

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005000

up to like national language processing.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005001

What specific use cases po are we going to focus on to help our teachers?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005016

I am not very much of a techie, Your Honor, Congresswoman Lacson. Can I turn it over to our USEC for IT, with permission of the Committee Chair

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005017

and the Members?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005018

ASEC Mars Veloso.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005020

Yes, you are recognized, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005021

Hello, hello.

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005022

Madam Chair, Your Honor, Cong Nina, the things that DepEd is doing

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005023

right now is multifaceted.

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005024

AI is being used within teachers.

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005025

in the office to determine certain patterns.

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005026

So eCare recently launched a project like this,

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005027

which is a hazard mapping tool.

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005028

But with respect to teachers themselves,

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005029

what we're presently doing is enabling them various tools,

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005030

Google, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot,

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005031

and we're teaching them how to use these tools.

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005032

And in relation to learners themselves,

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005033

one of the tools that we've been exploring

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005034

is something called reading progress,

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005035

where previously teachers would do this manually,

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005036

but now they speak to, students can speak to an app

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005037

and words are actually measured,

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005038

and when words are omitted, it gets tracked.

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005039

So these, from teaching and learning

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005040

to observing administrative tasks,

Source

DepEd Assistant Secretary Marcelino G. Veloso III

asr-005041

we're able to leverage AI to do many other things.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005042

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005043

So it sounds like this adaptation of AI tools

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005044

will help the over,

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005045

under load the work of the teachers,

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005046

especially the administrative tasks.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005047

And that is really great to hear.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005048

Nung nag-visit po ako, nung nag-ikot po ako at nakausap ang mga teachers

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005049

from all over, you know, Bicol, La Union, even in Malabon,

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005050

the overall sentiment is very positive.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005051

Gusto po nila yung AI.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005052

Ang concern lang po is how would the training be?

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005053

Kasi maganda po, you have the tools,

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005054

but what is the purpose of the tools kung hindi po natin alam kung paano gamitin? So what is DepEd?s plan po regarding training?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005055

Well, we have trained, I think, over a million

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005056

million over a million uh faculty and uh students with the help of uh the united nations uh grant

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005057

and uh google also so we want to keep it going and as you rightly mentioned uh your honor uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005058

one important aspect is uh uh allowing the dream of personalized learning so

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005059

uh people can proceed at their own speed no so uh one uh thing we're pursuing is is our

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005060

link up with the academy so they provided they very kindly provided uh canmigo which is their

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005061

ai for teachers which normally is uh is a paid app but for that it's they're providing it for free

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005062

because the first franchisee in the world is a filipina

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005063

of khan academy uh was also the first filipino to chair how to sit on the board of harvard so

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005064

she provided that to the pet uh our challenge is to scale up because to use these tools you need

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005065

very strong bandwidth or large bandwidth so we're aspiring for 100 mbps minimum in many of our

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005066

schools and we're struggling to keep up uh to get this speed because many of our schools are uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005067

in areas where it is difficult to to get that speed and of course it costs money also so we're

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005068

trying to uh equip our schools and uh the goal is to be in at least 10 to 12 000 schools by the end

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005069

of uh of next year so i think we're now in about 3 000 schools so but there's also a challenge

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005070

because there's still a uh there's still some fear of technology on the part of some of our teachers

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005071

they're used to being akin to like oracles where everything goes through them and they many fear

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005072

the loss of control that comes with the use of such technology so but we're trying to tell them

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005073

that really it's it's there to make their life easier to you know do the analytics uh to do the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005074

lesson plans to do the quizzes and checking in a matter of seconds or minutes uh actually so uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005075

i think i think uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005076

we can we can that's a very positive direction for for us and uh as you said there's so many

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005077

possible uses but i think it all begins with the teacher and uh if we can really uh train our

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005078

teachers well then that that multiplicative effect is really going to be felt all over the country

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005079

thank you mr secretary madam chair just a couple more follow-up questions um that's current budget

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005080

that we are allocating for

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005081

this ai our development line item

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005082

say this is it's really great to hear now we are partnering you know with big

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005083

big names like google so i think this is a really great opportunity and it will really have a good

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005084

return on investment if we successfully do this. Ano po yung line item na mag?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005084-split-2

There is no line item right now in the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005085

2027 budget your honor but for 2026 we carved out 115 million for the ai center

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005086

of the bed for research uh this center was originally supposed to be in dti but uh for one

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005087

reason or another uh it was discontinued in dti so we saw the opportunity to get to hire some of the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005088

best data scientists in the country to help to let to allow them to help their bed uh and then we we

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005089

certainly have not regretted that decision and uh we're hoping that we can keep that going because

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005090

we see how they have transformed

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005091

the work of DepEd, not only for the teachers, but also for the central office,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005092

and how to approach large data sets, how to approach certain problems, structural problems, in a different, novel way, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005093

Okay. Ito po ba yung ECAIR program from earlier?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005094

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005095

Okay.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005096

That's great to hear.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005097

Dr. Legara and her data scientists are here, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005098

I think my last note lang po, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary, maybe for this year we can monitor na lang yung positive effects ng adaptations natin para we can better request for more money for next year.

Source

Rep. Ma. Nina Francesca P. Lacson

asr-005099

So, with that, Madam Chair, I would like to formally manifest my support for DepEd.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

I will just make it quick, sir, dahil ho natanong na yung iba at nasagot na rin yung iba.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005110

I will just make a comment to commend the Department, of course, for a job well done, especially the Secretary, for a very excellent performance.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005111

We've seen it, sir.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005112

Talaga namang pumupunta pa kayo sa grassroots, including those

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005113

schools, especially the isolated ones. We have seen the effort.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005114

Kaya dahil ho diyan ay talaga hong susuportahan ho namin ang budget ho ninyo, your programs, including the

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005115

increase, because this current fiscal year umabot ho ata ng one trillion, eh ngayon is

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005116

976 only.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005117

I am sure magagawan ho ng paraan dito sa Committee on Appropriations na ma-increase ito.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005118

And I also want to thank you for all the allocations in our district, in Nueva Vizcaya.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005119

Nueva Vizcaya, for the classrooms, which I also heard are about to be implemented already,

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005120

and also the continued allocation for our province.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005121

My query, Mr. Chair, the same issues in relation to bullying, because it remains a serious

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005122

concern in all schools.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005123

Including my districts, while many schools still do not have enough guidance and counseling

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005124

personnel.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005125

And in the presentation a while ago, we saw that there was a proposal for additional school

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005126

counselor associate and school division counselor positions for fiscal year 2027.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005127

Now my query, Mr. Secretary, may we know how...

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005128

How these positions will be distributed, and particularly in Region 2, and of course

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005129

in my district, and whether schools with higher bullying incidents, large enrollment, or there

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005130

is no existing counselor will be prioritized?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005131

Your Honor, thank you.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005132

Thank you.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005133

First of all, thank you very much for what you said.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005134

Unang-una, marami pong salamat sa nabanggit po ninyo. At dahil baka training na rin ho natin iyan

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005135

as congressmen, dahil pag

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005136

may hindi tayo napuntahang barangay,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005137

medyo magtatampo si kapitan sa atin at yung mga constituents natin doon.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005138

Regarding the question on the school counselor associates, we prioritize areas with high

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005139

incidence of bullying.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005140

So, and we noticed a lot of these are in urban areas, a lot are in the large schools, although

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005141

not exclusive to these types of schools.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005142

But, and also those which are implemented.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005143

We are implementing the senior high school curriculum because the students there are

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005144

of a certain age.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005145

So iyon po yung ating tinututukan. Inuna natin,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005146

We tried to start first, but by no means are we limiting ourselves to these schools, Your

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005147

Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005148

So, as we speak, yung regions po natin ay nagha-hire ng 10,000.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005149

We'll furnish you with the data for your district and for the region, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005150

We'll furnish you the data, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005151

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005152

Secretary, anyway, we have here our Regional Director na sabi ko nga is about to retire, baka may

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005153

ma-allocate sa district ho namin when it comes to school counselor associates.

Source

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

asr-005154

Yes.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005154-split-2

There are 37, I am told, Madam Chair, Your Honor, there are 37 items for

the province of Nueva Vizcaya.

Rep. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton

Rep. Girlie E. Veloso

Salamat sa tanong, Your Honor, Madam Chair. Sa current implementation of Republic Act 11476 or the GMRC with

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005175

Manners and Right Conduct Act, meron pong efforts sa current implementation as follows:

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005176

meron po tayong tatlong phase ng training sa NAEAP or National

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005177

Educators Academy of the Philippines for grades 1 to 10. Development of lesson

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005178

exemplars for grades 1 to 3. So umpisahan ho natin nang maaga, habang maaga, ma'am, in

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005179

collaboration with the BCD or the Bureau of Curriculum Development. So

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005180

binabago na ho namin yung curriculum para mas ma-emphasize ho yung mga values, as you

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005181

mentioned, Your Honor, Madam Chair. Tapos yung

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005182

ongoing development ng mga lesson plans sa mga multigrade classes. So

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005183

kahit sila ay sama-sama, minsan may ganoon, grade

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005184

1, grade 2 magkasama sa isang class, mas natuturuan pa rin yung values, mas

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005185

nangingibabaw pa rin yung values, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005186

Tapos itong ongoing development po ng

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005187

what's LAS?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005188

Meron tayong mga learning activity sheets under the dynamic learning program. This is an

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005189

awarded teaching method sa Bohol

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005190

which Dr. Bernido won a Magsaysay Award for,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005191

and it places an emphasis on independent learning and using the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005192

students' penmanship to learn. So meron tayong modules na ngayon

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005193

for dynamic learning na pioneered sa Bohol,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005194

but it's also being used in other provinces like Sarangani

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005195

and even private schools use it, Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005196

Anong [unclear]? What's that?

Source

Rep. Girlie E. Veloso

asr-005196-split-2

Ito po bang pag-strengthen ng ating GMRC and Values Education, Madam Chair, Mr. Secretary,

Source

Rep. Girlie E. Veloso

asr-005197

ongoing implementation ba ito or

Source

Rep. Girlie E. Veloso

asr-005198

are we going to strengthen that in the next school year?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005199

Ongoing na po yung iba pero siyempre there's a challenge to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005200

as in everything in DepEd, we...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005202

Depende rin ho sa husay nung ating mga

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005203

teachers at kung nai-train ho sila, because sa dami ho ng teacher natin hindi natin ma-train sabay-sabay ho

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005204

lahat. So finiface ho natin yan.

Source

Rep. Girlie E. Veloso

asr-005205

Thank you, Mr. Secretary, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Girlie E. Veloso

asr-005206

I have no further question, Madam Chair.

Source

Rep. Girlie E. Veloso

asr-005207

I would just like to manifest my full support for the proposal budget of the Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Girlie E. Veloso

asr-005208

Daghang salamat, ug maayong hapon sa tanan.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005209

Daghang salamat, Congresswoman Veloso. Salamat po naman namin.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005210

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005211

Next question is our representative,

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005212

Jan Chan. Saan siya?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005213

Good afternoon po, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005214

and good afternoon, Mr. Secretary.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005215

Good afternoon, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005216

So yun po, I come to this committee hearing as an advocate and supporter of the Department's budget,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005217

but also a critic of some of the numbers po.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005218

So, I believe that the Department of Education should really be supported,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005219

especially because of the constitutionally mandated prioritization of education in the Philippines.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005220

Thank you. Thank you.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005221

So, I just have, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair, two sets of questions.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005222

So my first set of questions goes into the classrooms po.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005223

So, Mr. Secretary, the 2025 target was 6,000 classrooms constructed,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005224

and the reported actual is 99, with 5,887 marked ongoing.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005225

But at the same time, the Department has reported a classroom shortage of around 165,000 nationwide.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005226

So for 2027, the target indicated is only 700

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005227

classrooms. Meanwhile,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005228

the basic education facilities fund

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005229

goes from around

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005230

85.4 billion pesos

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005231

down to 30.6 billion

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005232

pesos proposed for 2027.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005233

So,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005234

my question is simple. What happened

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005235

between the appropriation and the actual

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005236

classroom? Was there a bottleneck

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005237

between

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005238

in the procurement, land availability,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005239

contractor performance releases,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005240

or the implementing arrangement po?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005241

For this year,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005242

For this year or for 2025 ho?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005243

For the following year po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005244

For next year ho?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005245

Yes po, for the proposal for 2027.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005246

With the target being 700

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005247

classrooms po.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005247-split-2

Ah, yung 700 is the completion ho.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005248

Those are the ones that are uncompleted

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005249

to be completed. But I think the target

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005250

is much larger than 700.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005251

It's about at least 4,000 to 5,000

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005252

classrooms, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005252-split-2

4,000 to 5,000?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005253

Yes. Out of how many,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005254

Mr. Secretary?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005255

I'll just get the exact figure because the cost changes.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005256

...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005257

That's based on the DBM at 2.5.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005258

Yeah. If we use it on...

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005259

Because the costing changes.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005260

Unfortunately, when the time when DBM

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005261

was crafting the NEP,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005262

the parameters have changed since then.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005263

So, if you use a 2.5 million estimate

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005264

per classroom, we're talking about over

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005265

6,000 classrooms. But I think, as mentioned

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005266

earlier during earlier interpellations,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005267

the cost now ranges from 3 to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005268

3.5, Your Honor. So, that would

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005269

probably be about 5,000 plus

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005270

classrooms, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005271

Yes, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005272

So, Mr. Secretary,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005273

based on your

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005274

proposal, would it be enough to fund

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005275

the 6,000

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005276

classrooms?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005277

Baka hindi na po 6,000.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005278

about 4,900

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005279

on the optimistic side,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005280

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005280-split-2

Okay po, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005281

So, for that,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005282

how long would be the

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005283

timeline of the department

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005284

for the completion of those 6,000?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005285

Well, I think

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005286

from experience, a reasonable

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005287

expectation is maybe one and a half to two

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005288

years for

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005289

classrooms. But especially if it involves

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005290

demolition, perhaps a longer

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005291

time period, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005292

So, just to clarify, the 700

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005293

is the remaining to be completed?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005294

Yes, sir.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005295

Okay po, I go to my next set of

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005296

questions for Mr. Secretary. Thank you.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005297

So, it goes into personnel

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005298

and school mental health.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005299

Kasi medyo alarming po in the

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005300

recent years. Medyo tumataas po yung

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005301

concerns about

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005302

students, and we've heard

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005303

of students na needing

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005304

mental health support,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005305

students committing suicide,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005306

or students committing

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005307

some unfortunate incidents in

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005308

school. So,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005309

under Republic Act number

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005310

12080, it requires mental

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005311

health and well-being support for

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005312

the schools and creates the position of school

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005313

counselor-associate.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005314

So, I just want to focus

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005315

on one particular gap when it comes to

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005316

the school counselor-associates.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005317

So, a learner who is struggling emotionally,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005318

needs someone qualified and available

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005319

to turn to. So, teachers and advisers

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005320

need support in helping that child while

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005321

carrying out their teaching responsibilities.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005322

And the purpose under the Republic Act of

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005323

funding counselor-associates is to make

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005324

that help available po in school.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005325

So, how many school counselor-associate

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005326

positions are actually funded in the

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005327

2027 proposal?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005328

For 2027, it's 1,800, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005329

Opo. So that's the number of requests made by the

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005330

Department of Education?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005331

That's the number of positions being funded.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005332

I think we requested

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005333

39,000 positions because we'd like, as you mentioned,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005334

given the importance of the position and the need for it,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005335

we really want each school to have one at the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005336

soonest possible time, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005337

Opo, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005338

So, around what amount would actually be needed for a

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005339

meaningful first tranche when it comes to the counselor-associates?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005340

It's 11.4 billion by our calculations, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005341

So, for example, if Congress provided an additional

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005342

billion pesos, especially for school counselor-associates,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005343

how many school counselor-associates po kaya yung ma-deploy?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005344

One billion, yes.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005345

One billion?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005346

One billion.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005353

Around between 3,500 and 4,000.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005354

Probably about 3,600, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005355

Okay, sir.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005356

Roughly.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005357

Roughly.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005358

Yes, A'pon.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005359

So is there a criteria po in the deployment of the school counselor-associates?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005360

Which ones would be prioritized po, by region or by...?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005361

It's really the need, and you look at the size of the schools, you look at the history

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005362

of bullying in the schools, Your Honor, the history of mental health episodes, so these

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005363

are some of the factors we look at.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005364

Of course, we want to make sure that these are also equitably distributed across the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005365

country, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005366

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005367

So given that there are...

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005368

Ilan po ulit, Mr. Secretary?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005369

1,000?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005370

How many for next year?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005371

1,800?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005372

1,800?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005373

For next year?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005374

1,800 have been

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005375

in the NEP funding

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005376

for 1,800

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005377

school counselor-associates,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005378

Your Honor.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005379

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005380

Okay po.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005381

So medyo malayo po

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005382

doon sa ideal po

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005383

sana natin na

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005384

for now, for now

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005385

medyo malayo pa.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005386

For now, medyo malayo pa.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005387

Opo.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005388

Pero I just wanted

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005389

to highlight po kasi

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005390

the importance of

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005391

having more support

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005392

for the school

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005393

counselor-

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005394

associates.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005395

We appreciate that

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005396

very much, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005397

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005398

Opo.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005399

And hopefully marami po bang initiatives ang Department of Education when it comes to

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005400

supporting and hopefully preventing further incidents po when it comes to schools?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005401

Yes, Your Honor.

Aside from what tends to get a lot of airtime or publicity are the security measures, so

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005403

the barcode, the CCTV, the metal detectors, security guards.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005404

But those are only a few.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005405

a fraction of the needed interventions, and as you mentioned the mental health interventions are

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005406

probably the more lasting ones and uh because if if a person is determined there's really

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005407

despite all of these physical uh obstacles there's still a way to to perform violent acts so

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005408

what we're trying to do is really build a larger sense of community so it's really

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005409

in a way it requires requires nothing short of a paradigm shift from our educators and uh even the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005410

non non-teaching staff everyone who populates the school and the school community because

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005411

uh we're you know very simple interventions knowing the name of your learner

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005412

uh asking them or you know making sure they have someone to talk to in the course of the day

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005413

that no one is left alone and uh also ensuring that the children talk to each other we're also

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005414

considering uh you know uh limiting use of smartphones in schools unless it's for uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005415

educational purposes your honor so uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005416

but even we're even looking at the recess and the free time of the students because

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005417

we want them to socialize we want them to uh to to stay away from the gadgets where you know they

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005418

can be influenced by all sorts of uh things especially those who are 15 or 16 and below

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005419

so uh aside from this the we're also trying to ramp up the training of our personnel because not

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005420

everyone is trained how to deal with the administration of psychological first aid

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005421

Your Honor. So when Tacloban happened, we were really overwhelmed. There were

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005422

there were at least 400 people who needed immediate psychological first aid so things

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005423

like that but thankfully uh many in the community really responded the university community the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005424

university community, the DSWD, the DOH, the hospitals, the state, [unclear],

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005425

Eastern Visayas Medical, they really pitched in to fill the gap

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005426

because DepEd was overwhelmed at that time, Your Honor.

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005427

Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005428

So if only to highlight lang po, I think the committee and Congress

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005429

should really support the budget of the Department of Education,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005430

especially in increasing the support for mental health awareness,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005431

mental health supports, and the initiatives of the Department of Education.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005432

So hopefully, good luck po sa budget process.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005433

And I would just like to manifest that I wholeheartedly support

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005434

the Department of Education, especially when it comes to this mental health effort.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005435

So salamat po, Mr. Secretary.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005442

I just want to commend you and say thank you.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005443

Hindi po nakakalimutan ng mga taga-San Pedro

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005444

ang ginawa ninyo po sa San Pedro bilang pinakaunang public school na full air-conditioned.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005445

Four floors and

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005446

18 classrooms po.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005447

So this is like a model public school sa buong probinsya ng Laguna.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005448

And Sec, I want to say this to you firsthand po.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005449

So we got a sponsor from the Department of Energy

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005450

para maging solar na po ito, ang ating first fully air-conditioned public school.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005451

Kanina po galing po ako sa DICT committee hearing,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005452

and they have also promised na

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005453

lalagyan po nila ito ng Wi-Fi facility sa ating pong school.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005454

And with all that is happening, with digital violence, to the grooming,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005455

to the, with the law enforcement,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005456

pinapaabot po ng aking kabiyak na magkakaroon po ng inauguration for Junior NBI.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005457

Katuwang po dito ang DepEd.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005458

And I hope, Secretary, we will see you again

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005459

Yes, yes.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005460

in San Pedro,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005461

San Pedro, Laguna.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005462

And sana po this year magkaroon po tayo ng another building rehabilitation,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005463

na kung saan mas mapapaganda pa po natin, male-level up natin ang mga public schools.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005464

And so, Madam Chair, I therefore manifest my wholehearted support

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005465

and hopefully to increase more of the budget of the Department of Education

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005466

dahil po sa aking distrito hindi po kami nahirapan humingi at magpa-validate

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005467

ng mga schools. And hopefully, Secretary,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005468

with what was mentioned a while ago with the training of the public school teachers,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005469

I wish to have a memorandum of agreement also so that I can help through the use of our funds with DSWD,

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005470

that we provide also allocation for their training programs.

Source

Rep. Ann Matibag

asr-005471

Source

asr-005491

especially in your tandem with TESDA and CHED.

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005492

Congratulations.

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005493

We all know the need of the education sector will not be solved overnight.

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005494

So ang gusto ko pong sabihin, we encourage and support more

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005495

budget with the Department of Education, but at the same time

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005496

that we really need the devolution and the efficiency of our programs and activities.

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005497

I just wanted to ask, Creative Industries Month din ngayon.

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005498

Secretary, how important is it for you ang arts and culture and

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005499

how are our field trips to the museums? How are our arts education?

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005500

And how early

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005501

can they

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005502

learn

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005503

more about

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005504

creativity, especially when it comes to ECCD, as well as how we can involve

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005505

them in learning in the classroom

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005505-split-2

uh that's a great question uh your honor and thank you for

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005506

the kind words and uh uh like to commend you also for taking up the mantle left by your uncle

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005507

in your district uh and uh i think it's very important increasingly important now because uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005508

and i know you chair that a very important committee because i think in the age of ai

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005509

a lot of science is already online and what makes us non-artificial is creativity and this type of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005510

these types of pursuits that are unique to human beings of course at some point maybe the ai will

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005511

catch up with all of us but certainly we have policies where we encourage our learners to go to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005512

museums and here in ncr for instance there's a scouting museum there's the galleon museum

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005513

so these are new museums which we are encouraging

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005514

ASEC Andaya, under the leadership of ASEC Andaya, who is also concurrent NCR regional director,

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005515

in even in other areas we're encouraging them to visit museums and in fact we'd like maybe we can

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005516

work with you to uh further the gabaldon program because i think there's a lot of potential these

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005517

are beautiful examples of uh a different era in terms of our creative architecture so i think

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005518

that that's something that we can pursue and uh we're trying to really see uh at the foundational

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005519

levels uh key stage one great kinder to grade three how can we really inject a lot of uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005520

music and arts because we're aware of that mit study which says that if we really want our kids to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005521

uh to be brilliant to fulfill their potential uh their maximum potential then actually we should

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005523

introduce music to them uh at an early age because it activates uh many of the different

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005524

parts of the of the brain so yeah and then of course we have the philippine high school for

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005525

the arts which is uh we urge you maybe we can invite you to visit your honor because it's a

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005526

beautiful site designed by our National Artist Leandro Levis—Leandro Locsin, slip of the tongue.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005527

um and uh but it's in need of repair your honor so i think that's something that can be uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005528

encouraged so these are some of our pursuits we'll be happy to i know you have a pending invite to us

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005529

but unfortunately we cannot leave this committee but i'll be happy to sit down with you at any time

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005530

uh your honor to to pursue and uh to see where where where you're headed in terms of your bills

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005531

in terms of your district and we really enjoyed our visit to victoria's by the way where uh we saw

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005532

the uh the farm tourism uh we we even uh sekiko even introduced us to that restaurant uh from

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005533

negros where they they do organic uh agriculture so and uh we know that of course negros is a

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005534

emerging arts hub also because of the ancestral homes because of the many uh great artists like

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005535

charlie ko justiniani uh uh nuni alvarado a lot of the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005536

a lot of the fantastic artists who call negros their home yeah

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005537

Thank you so much, Madam Chair. Last na rin, tapos na po ako.

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005538

mr secretary uh just wanted to ask because you brought it up but i'd also like to thank you that

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005539

you're very uh aware of um arts and culture especially even in our in our province in our

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005540

district. You mentioned AI. I wanted to ask, baka natanong na po kanina, but the PISA scores are coming

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005541

out tomorrow. May watch party po

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005542

ang Negros Occidental Science High School in Victorias. So may watch party po, but I wanted to ask something about AI.

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005543

um how can ai enhance learning um for our children because there's all there are also moves in the us

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005544

specifically in new york where they've banned it for until i think it's eighth grade if i'm

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005545

not mistaken uh what is your stance here do you think ai can help with learning is it for oral

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005546

modalities um and or do you think we should ban it what do you think is uh can really enhance our

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005547

functional literacy and numeracy

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005547-split-2

that's a great question your honor and of course it's a moving

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005548

target because of uh ai itself is uh very very quickly evolving i think it's a double-edged sword

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005549

uh your honor so i don't believe in introducing it too early because then uh uh maybe uh it

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005550

affects our learners in a negative way because it takes the place of uh creative thinking and uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005551

because there are studies that uh show that you shouldn't uh overburden a child's brain you know

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005552

uh you you introduce them like the childs who are given too many toys for instance uh we're not we're

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005553

not as uh we're not as developed thinkers as those who only had a few toys so that's that's one

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005554

aspect maybe maybe we have to deal with meet children where they are uh your honor we have

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005555

to meet children where they are so but definitely i think there's a role for ai later on uh especially

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005556

in uh in the future

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005557

for those who are independent learners also for teachers who have to deal with large classes

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005558

where children are of different capacities then ai can be a friend to that teacher and

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005559

personalized learning can proceed uh in a way that it couldn't before so these are some of the things

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005560

we we see with ai but of course we have to be very careful because uh well we don't want to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005561

get left behind but at the same time we don't want to uh we don't

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005562

want to replace a child's potential for critical thinking creativity all these things that uh we

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005563

want to inculcate in our children

Source

Rep. Javier Miguel Lopez Benitez

asr-005563-split-2

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005575

a free consultant and a free hard-working employee over there in the person of mrs angara

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005577

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005578

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005579

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005580

know they said how to succeed is you hire people who are smarter than you and know their job better

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005581

than you so thank you i will um i hope maybe you can relay that message to senator sabiri

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005582

but of course i'm confident that you have chosen a very good team

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005583

now um secretary angara last year i remember you were discussing we were discussing the

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005584

literacy rate of our children which i'm very interested in because as a mother as well

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005585

that always and as an avid reader myself i'm very interested in this

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005586

may i ask how did um last year what was our final ga budget for our aral program

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005587

8.9 billion uh your honor madam chair

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005587-split-2

and uh mr secretary madam chair may i ask also with

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005588

that 8.9 billion pesos, how many

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005589

students were we able to help

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005590

with our ARAL program?

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005591

Uh, the coverage was

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005592

6.7 million learners your honor and the results were very encouraging because

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005593

4.5 million

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005594

Of those 6.7 million were able to upgrade their reading skills. They moved up to the next

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005595

Reading level your honor and over 2 million were now reading at the right level

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005596

So from previously when we had a lot of students who were delayed in their reading, even EDCOM finding grade 11

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005597

hindi pa rin marunong magbasa. So slowly, I think this ARAL program is really a game changer for us

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005598

especially if we fund it, especially if we

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005599

Give it the right time to grow and really implement it in the right manner

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005600

At saka 'yung tamang pag-intercept, no? Kasi pag masyadong

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005601

matanda na, baka we're going to be too late in the game.

So you're telling me we were able to see a 75% increase

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005602

I mean, 75 kasi 4.5 out of 6 million. So 75%

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005603

success rate

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005604

That's right. They're about a very high success rate madam chair.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005604-split-2

And now for this year

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005605

I understand

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005606

that you are requesting for a budget of 16 billion for this for the RL program, but

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005607

That's correct, ma'am. Yes

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005608

But is there a reason why the NEP seems to have decided to

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005609

Not include this in there

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005610

These are these are congressional insertions your honor

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005611

So I think the habit of DBM is really not to include in the following years

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005612

NEP or national expenditure program

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005613

Non

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005614

Not NEP items. So they just revert to the NEP out of habit or out of you know

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005615

In the expectation perhaps that Congress would once again make the insert necessary insertions

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005616

I think well given that taking a look at this now with as you mentioned

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005617

It was almost 9 billion for the 6 million students that actually comes up to parent 1,500 peso investment per student long

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005618

And if we're going to be allotting, I think that's a very very big ROI now for 1,500 pesos

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005619

We get our students back up on track get them reading at the right level

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005620

I think that isn't that is an investment that Congress should consider making and

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005621

Doubling really and bringing up from 9 billion to 16 billion

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005622

So rest assured secretary that on my part I will definitely be supporting

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005623

our RL program

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005624

Many many things and I didn't think of it that way. That's a great way of

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005625

arguing it madam Congresswoman that what it boils down to one fight because when you talk about absolute numbers it looks so huge but when you

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005626

Actually break it down for learner. It's not that big an amount, but the return is fantastic

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005627

Thank you for putting it that way your honor

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005627-split-2

glad to hear that now if I may ask also no, mr. Secretary

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005628

Of course, I'm also very interested to hear about the programs for our National Museum. I am very happy to see mr. Jeremy Barnes here

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005635

Yes, quite right. We we are working on many museums

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005636

We just recently opened in June our museum in Baler, Aurora, and that has been our

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005637

Fifth museum under this administration. So in the last three years

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005638

Moving forward we're hoping to

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005639

renovate the National Museum in Clark

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005640

and

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005641

complete the National Museum in Paoay, Ilocos Norte

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005642

as well as in

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005643

Taal, Batangas, Kalibo, Aklan, and Lake Sebu, South Cotabato. So that is a lot

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005644

That's a lot that will be coming on stream

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005645

from the last quarter

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005646

into

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005647

Throughout 2027.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005647-split-2

That's great. I'm glad you're bringing culture all over the country. No not just here centered in Luzon

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005648

but now in our ncr but moving into even mindanao and so given that we are opening so many new

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005649

museums uh may i ask about the status of your moo budget and requests

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005649-split-2

uh sure um well you may

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005650

have i think the madam chairman and the members of the committee notice we have a fairly solid

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005651

nep for next year and that is because the dbm are allowing us to continue investing in our

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005652

infrastructure growth uh we're still at full speed to deliver our commitments under the marcos

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005653

administration however our moo if you look has been it's just kind of flat from uh this year

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005654

and last year so uh if you look into our proposal we actually find it's it it needs a bit of

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005655

augmentation so that we could properly activate the new museums that are coming online so we'll

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005656

do have concerns that our moe might not match uh our infrastructure as it gets completed and as we

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005657

activate the museum so that's one of our that forms the first priority in our wish list uh

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005658

for the 2027 budget

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005658-split-2

i would understand that because how can we open these museums if we

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005659

don't have the proper staff for it no

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005659-split-2

yeah at the same time ma'am if i may just uh utilities

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005660

are going up wages of uh guards and janitors and uh are also going up so um we'd like to make sure

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005661

our moe uh keeps pace with that

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005661-split-2

okay and how much moe are we requesting for this year

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005662

uh madam chair your honor um in our wish list we're proposing for an augmentation of 65 million

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005663

moe

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005663-split-2

okay and this is going to be um this will help you

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005664

manage the additional museums that are going to be opening in 2027.

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005664-split-2

yes your honor a large

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005665

part of it goes to housekeeping so janitorial security preventive maintenance pest control

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005666

as well as utilities definitely all necessary

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005666-split-2

yes and what about the exhibition no i mean

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005667

what are you planning to put in these museums and do you have the necessary budget to actually fund

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005668

the exhibitions you're going to be having

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005668-split-2

uh that's an excellent question your honor um as we

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005669

complete the infrastructure of these museums

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005671

one by one.

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005672

We then move on to the next stage,

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005673

which is to fit them out with permanent or special

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005674

exhibitions.

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005675

As of now, we don't have a budget for exhibitions

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005676

for next year.

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005677

And that actually is also one of our priority items

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005678

on the wish list.

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005679

And just to anticipate the question,

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005680

in the amount of 79 million proposed for next year.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005681

Well, Mr. Barnes, I'm glad you're telling us this,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005682

because I think this is worth considering.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005683

Because if we continue with building these museums,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005684

but we don't have a staff to man them,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005685

we don't have exhibitions for people to see,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005686

we're going to end up with white elephants.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005687

And we'll end up having wasted a lot of money.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005688

In contrast, if we invest a little extra,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005689

then we bring so much culture to our people.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005690

And we're able to really keep alive our traditions,

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005691

which we need.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005692

I think.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005693

We all agree that education should not

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005694

be limited just to academic, but should also

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005695

include our heritage.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005696

So we will work on supporting our national museum.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005697

But Mr. Barnes, I do have one slight complaint.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005698

I noticed you still are not visiting us in Bukidnon.

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005699

We have a lot of

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005700

properties there the city that is offering the national museum and we would love it if you could

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005701

come because we have our seven tribes and i think our indigenous peoples also deserve a museum that

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005702

would keep our indigenous traditions alive so i hope you can consider my request please come

Source

Rep. Audrey Kay T. Zubiri

asr-005703

consider bukidnon as the next venue for the next national museum site

Source

National Museum Director-General Jeremy R. Barns

asr-005703-split-2

Thank you. Thank you very much. And that will be the

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005707

last question from the members. Walang palakpak muna kasi nandito pa si chair.

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005708

but before i'll turn over to chairperson mika

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005709

i just would like

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005710

to highlight some of the things that were discussed for this whole day

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005711

uh briefing out uh chair out of the 34 members who um ask questions i have not heard any single

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005712

member who post for the dis for the cut of a budget but instead all of these 34 for a minority

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005713

and majority have proposed for the increase of the proposed

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005714

budget that's one of the highlights uh of course among the programs that um

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005715

were highlighted by the members was the support for sned i i lrc construction school-based feeding

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005716

program which needs to be increased because this will result to reduction of feeding cycle

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005717

computerization program, school building program, ARAL program, and mental health program

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005718

almost all programs, Madam Chair. So it is now for the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005719

also to assess and uh together with the committee uh we will also um find time to discuss all of

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005720

the merits of all this discussion so i'll now turn over you to the chairperson of the committee

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005721

on Appropriations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005721-split-2

Thank you very much po. To Chair Maricar, the Vice Chairperson who will be sponsoring the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005722

for the department of education and all the attached agencies so uh first of all i would

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005723

like to say thank you of course to uh vice chair maricar for very exemplary performance in managing

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005724

today's deliberations. Mukhang ito po yata 'yung pinakamaikli, seven hours. Nag-start po two years ago, twelve.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005725

was eight um now we're down to seven hours so um i think that goes to show that that's also

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005726

a testament to the to the hard work of the department and the members are also

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005727

um recognizing that uh we've seen the improvement in the implementation of the different programs

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005728

so secure um second i just wanted to um jump off from what chair marcar was saying actually

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005729

this was something that we were discussing uh over the past couple of minutes i was looking

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005730

through the budget of depth ed so if we look at it neptune um

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005731

increase in the budget uh from um 2026 nep compared to the 2027 nep is 41.3 billion pesos

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005732

um if you would look at it from a per component standpoint the ps um took a vast majority of that

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005733

actually at 57.8 billion peso increase so just extrapolating from there um we we we see that uh

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005734

there was a 16 billion peso cut um in the in the other programs the other components mooe

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005735

capital outlay um so um and that's uh what chair maricar actually uh highlighted to me

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005736

which is there were specific uh important programs from which the funding was cut and

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005737

as mentioned by chairman carr um that includes um the sped program um sned school-based feeding

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005738

programs and mental health programs and as you know and as also are raised by um sexani um in in

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005739

over the course of the deliberations a lot of these are programs which congress supported

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005740

in terms of augmentation during the previous budget cycle. So siguro po, Sec, I think

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005741

'yun siguro, that's the intricacy that we're dealing with. That's something new

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005742

that wasn't there um in the previous budget cycle which is there are certain programs like the ssl

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005743

um increase um the expanded career progression program and there are these things that um are

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005744

very important that really raised the level of the PS. So siguro po titignan natin which among the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005745

programs which were um which comprises the 16 billion peso decrease in mooe and capital outlay

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005746

we can consider for augmentation. Pero siguro, Sec, what I wanted to probably lay out with you today

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005747

before we end today's deliberations is pretty much just paint the picture what would happen

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005748

if we're unable to restore the funding for these particular programs uh for example

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005749

for the school-based feeding program um last year the nep was 11 billion um

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005750

roughly 26. uh it was raised to 26 billion in the ga so what would be the impact because in the 2027

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005751

nep it's back down to the 11 billion peso level so we just want to understand on our part what

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005752

would be the impact if it remains at the 11 billion peso level uh there's a number of ways

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005753

this feeding program is affected madam chair and thank you for uh again for the 2026 budget it's

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005754

very generous and we realize i don't envy your positions very difficult very difficult choices

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005755

before you madam chair uh given the needs of the country uh i think the first is the cycle

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005756

so right now uh you're looking at the 120 days instead of 180 days which is the whole

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005757

school year and uh i think well documented is the fact that

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005758

na pag hindi natin pinakain for the remainder of the school year, babalik rin sila. So in a way parang you go forward but you go back, whereas if you continue

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005759

the whole cycle then uh then you've really addressed the problem and the second is the

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005760

we won't have universal feeding for grade one so we'll have it for kinder but not for grade one

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005761

and the third is the central kitchens which i think is one of the goals of edcom also is to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005762

increase the number of hot meals because right now we have a mix of hot meals and prepared food

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005763

so i think the universal belief is that the hot meals are more nutritious and healthier

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005764

than uh some of our packed meals or uh bread items or uh fortified food items so you main

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005765

So 'yun po ang main difference with respect to the feeding, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005765-split-2

Sec, one of the concerns which we

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005766

had um when we gave the 26 billion allocation for the school-based feeding program in the 2026 ga

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005767

was the absorptive capacity of the department um to be able to implement that um what's the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005768

utilization rate for the school-based feeding program i think

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005769

the concern was would there be enough suppliers for the milk uh would there be enough kitchens to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005770

to cook um the meals so you know we just wanted to see how um where we are in terms of implementing

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005771

the 26 billion in the 2026 GAA.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005771-split-2

Thank you, Madam Chair. We're currently at 45.8 percent

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005772

and uh i'd like to share that this is a program which is school year dependent meaning it carries

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005773

over to the next year because see you pay after the second sem so there really be some

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005774

uh carry over to the following year but uh if we look at past years like 2025 it's a 90 90

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005775

utilization for 2024 a little lower 81 so uh i think we're also improving in how to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005776

how to utilize the funds

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005776-split-2

thank you we just wanted to use that as a basis as well uh whether the 26

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005777

billion is adequate or is it um going to be underutilized but looking

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005778

uh looking at the fact that you're already at 45 um adjusted for the the academic calendar um you

Source

should be on track um in utilizing the amount um for first first ned um this is something that we

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005780

added uh we augmented funds for this actually last year so this is something that's close to the

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005781

heart of congress uh we want to be able to help the special needs um special learning needs of

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005782

of students

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005783

deficit we're seeing here?

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005784-split-2

It's a smaller one, Your Honor. You're only talking about

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005784-split-3

983.8.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005785

But that includes SNED, madrasah.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005785-split-2

Yeah,

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005785-split-3

IPED, multigrade.

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005785-split-4

You're short about 190 million to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005786

reach the 2026 levels, Your Honor. It's not a huge amount.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005786-split-2

And then for ARAL po, Sec. Sonny, I believe

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005787

like last year

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005788

meron na siya sa NEP eh. Dinagdagan lang natin or totally wala ba? I vividly remember we advocated for this during the [unclear].

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005789

Ah, may ARAL and non-ARAL pa na binigyan po tayo last year. So how many students would be excluded from the program if we are not able to

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005790

restore the funding for aral

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005790-split-2

that would be all but i think we would be forced to reallocate uh

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005791

within from within the internal budget so maybe cut some maintenance funds and and reallocate to

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005792

because i think that's how important the rl program is is really uh i really feel it's a

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005793

game changer your honor in terms of uh helping those who are falling behind because i remember

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005794

you explained to us last year there are teachers who are volunteers and then there are non-teaching

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005795

volunteers uh for for aral so seriously i think that's the thing we're grappling with at the moment

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005796

um because if we have to find a source uh for these and

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005797

well sex you would know this more than anyone as a as a chairperson of the the committee on finance

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005798

so um we'll we'll do our best process we understand the the programs that were hit by the non-inclusion

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005799

in the name these are very important programs so we'll secure you you have here the the budget

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-005800

requests which you highlighted earlier would this be the same um priority programs that you would

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

Source

DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara

asr-005801-split-2

asr-005873

the department of education and as well as the s sds in the respective division offices

Source

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora

asr-005874

without their hard work probably we can expect more representatives to be asking

Rep. Maria Carmen S. Zamora
