next year's DSWD budget.

00:13:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000237

Let me move onto the first slide.

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000238

The Department of Social Welfare

00:13:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

and Development including

00:13:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000240

its attached and supervised agencies,

00:14:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000241

is

00:14:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000242

honored to appear before the House of Representatives as part of our accountability for the budget appropriated by Congress. In the next slides, we will present our annual budget utilization performance with some details on how we made good use of the allotments and then we will present the proposed budget for 2027.

00:14:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000243

The DSWD's budget increased over the years and for this, we are thankful for the support of Congress. In turn, we made sure we put premium on the trust and the channeling our resources towards people-centered investments.

00:14:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000244

First, human capital development. Reducing and ultimately ending poverty begins with investing in people's capabilities, particularly children, families, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable sectors.

00:14:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000245

We continue to innovate developmental interventions to improve the implementation of the different programs of the DSWD. Second, community-driven development. We continue to engage

00:15:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000246

the people in the farthest communities as partners in identifying needs, designing solutions and

00:15:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000247

building resiliency. And third, rapid, adequate and sustained disaster response. This is needed

00:15:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000248

to ensure that the gains in human capital development, particularly in communities of

00:15:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000249

vulnerable groups, are not reversed by the severity of disasters. The instruction of the

00:15:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000250

president is clear. The government should be there to respond immediately and remain present for as

00:15:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000251

long as families need support to recover. The next slides will show our report to Congress on

00:15:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000252

how we spent our budget. For our financial performance for fiscal year 2025, the DBM

00:15:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000253

released approximately $265 billion to the DSWD, both for our agency budget and releases from other

00:15:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000254

fund sources. We are pleased to report that the DSWD achieved a near 100% utilization rate as of

00:15:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000255

July 2026. For fiscal year

00:15:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000256

2026,

00:16:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000258

The DSWD has so far utilized 70% of the agency-specific budget of $262.9 billion. For the Calamity Fund and

00:16:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000259

Quick Response Fund replenishments, 78% of the $9.6 billion released so far has already been utilized.

00:16:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000260

The marching order to all DSWD programs is simple. Work harder, work faster and work smarter.

00:16:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000261

We should not waste resources, and every peso

00:16:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000262

appropriated to the DSWD

00:16:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000263

is a lifeline for beneficiaries in need. By directing our budget towards people centers investments,

00:16:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000264

we bring our mandate to life, protect people in crises so that it would not become a long-term

00:16:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000265

setback, promote human development to improve people's capabilities and opportunities,

00:16:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000266

Prevent

00:16:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000267

abuse and exploitation of people in

00:16:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000268

vulnerable situations. And

00:16:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000269

transform people's lives by addressing structural barriers

00:16:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000270

that reproduce poverty and exclusion. So in DSWD, these four roles are interconnected

00:17:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000271

and social protection is the bridge, not the destination. The goal is not simply to help

00:17:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000272

people survive today, but government must work to give them a fairer chance to move forward.

00:17:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000273

With this implementation track record as a backdrop, we now present the DSWD's

00:17:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000274

Families Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2027. The proposed budget reflects our commitment to

00:17:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000275

building a bridge to self-sufficiency for every vulnerable client being served by the DSWD and

00:17:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000276

its attached and supervised agencies. It is designed to sustain critical social protection

00:17:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000277

and social welfare interventions while strengthening the systems through assistance

00:17:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000278

that is targeted, delivered, monitored, and evaluated. For Fiscal Year 2027,

00:17:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000279

the DSWD has a total budget of $241.2 billion under the National Expenditure Program.

00:18:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000280

Of this amount, $235.7 billion is allocated to the DSWD Office of the Secretary.

00:18:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000281

For attached agencies, the proposed budgets are as follows. $136.3 million for the Council of

00:18:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000282

the Welfare of Children, $91.6 million for the National Council on Disability Affairs,

00:18:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000283

$126.3 million for the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council,

00:18:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000284

$811.8

00:18:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000286

million for the National Authority for Child Care.

00:18:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000287

For the supervised agencies, the proposed budgets are $3.8 billion for the National Commission on

00:18:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000288

Senior Citizens, $359.9 million for the National Anti-Poverty Commission, and $233.4 million for

00:18:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000289

the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor. Compared with Fiscal Year 2026,

00:18:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000290

General Appropriations Act, the proposed budget under the Fiscal Year 2027 NEP for the DSWD includes

00:18:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000291

its attached and supervised agencies, reflects lower levels, with the exception of NACC and NCSC,

00:19:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000292

whose budget increases are on their personnel services, because of the new positions created

00:19:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000293

and or filled up. It is also important to note that pursuant to Executive Order 123 issued on

00:19:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000294

August 18, 2026, the NAPC and the PCUP have been placed under the administrative supervision of

00:19:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000295

the Office of the President. Accordingly, while

00:19:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000296

their Fiscal Year 2027 budget figures are reflected in this

00:19:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000297

presentation, these two agencies are no longer under the administrative supervision of DSWD.

00:19:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000298

Looking at the budget by expenditure classification, the bulk of the budget remains

00:19:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000299

primarily directed towards delivery of programs and services to our beneficiaries. Generally,

00:19:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000300

the operating budgets of all the offices for 2027 are lower than 2026. As mentioned,

00:19:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000301

the increases pertain to the filling up of plantille position, which is very important for the

00:19:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000302

positions authorized by the DBM. Except for the DSWD, which was granted capital outlay for five

00:20:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000303

centers and residential care facilities in year three implementation of a learning institute in

00:20:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000304

Davao and a warehouse in Iliilo, the DSWD has no capital outlay for 2027. We now proceed to the

00:20:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000305

major PAPs. We will provide you with their performance and accomplishments and report to

00:20:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000306

the members of this August subcommittee what we're doing to further improve service delivery.

00:20:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000307

For the protective services for individuals and families in different circumstances,

00:20:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000308

the bulk of the budget pertains to the assistance to individuals and families in crisis situation

00:20:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000309

or AICs. Although there are also community-based protective social welfare programs that we

00:20:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000310

implement to different vulnerable and marginalized sectors. For fiscal year 2025, we have already

00:20:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000311

utilized 100 percent of the budget which enabled the program to assist more than 9.4 million

00:20:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000312

beneficiaries for the year. For 2026, budget utilization is on track at almost 70 percent

00:21:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000313

of the allotment utilizing all its cash programming in real time, serving 4.24 million beneficiaries so

00:21:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000314

far. For fiscal year 2027, the proposed allocation is 33.3 billion consisting of 29.4 billion in

00:21:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000315

subsidies. Given the demand-driven nature of the program, the NEP amount may not be

00:21:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000316

enough to achieve the same level of performance for the past two years. We have informed our

00:21:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000317

budget sponsor about this matter and we have included also in our letter to the honorable

00:21:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000318

chair of the appropriations committee. Mr. Chair, in a bit, when we get into the discussions,

00:21:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000319

we will show you a presentation that will show the adverse effect of this budget decline for the

00:21:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000320

assistance to individuals in crisis situation and the potential displacements of beneficiaries for

00:21:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000321

medical and other social welfare programs.

00:21:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000322

Your honors, it is given that AICS continues to fulfill its core mandate by providing a

00:22:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000323

comprehensive menu of assistance to individuals and families in crisis situations. But beyond

00:22:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000324

individual emergencies, AICS now serves as our primary tool for adaptive and shock responsive

00:22:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000325

social protection, allowing us to quickly act in cases of shocks which impact groups,

00:22:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000326

families or communities at risk. In response to the national energy emergency declared

00:22:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000327

by the president,

00:22:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000328

AICS is at the forefront and is in the front and center of the whole of government intervention under the Uplift program.

00:22:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000329

Through AICS, the government was able to put into motion interventions using three mechanisms under the adaptive and shock-responsive social protection.

00:22:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000330

When the government needed to question impact of the Middle East crisis to our transport sector,

00:22:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000331

the DSWD rolled out the cash relief assistance to drivers affected by the sudden increase in fuel prices as an emergency scheme.

00:22:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000332

Under this mechanism, we adopted a group-based assessment supported through identification, validation, and endorsement by relevant authorities or partner agencies.

00:23:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000333

This assistance helped 1.839 million transport workers nationwide.

00:23:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000334

A rapid assessment by the SWS Commission by the Australia Spring Programme

00:23:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000335

confirms that our cash relief assistance delivered immediate, decisive, impactful, and overwhelming

00:23:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000336

with

00:23:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000337

an overwhelming 96% of transport workers reporting that the 5,000 grant was operationally crucial in keeping them on the road,

00:23:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000338

with 80% using the aid to cover essential household food expenses during the emergency.

00:23:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000339

Then the Uplift Committee chaired by the President decided to have a strategic pivot from individual-based to household-based assistance.

00:23:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000340

Through the Uplift under AICS, vertical expansion is implemented by top-up grants to help compensate for the diminished value of the

00:23:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000341

grants or subsidy being received by

00:23:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000342

existing beneficiaries of social protection programs. Through horizontal expansion, we extended financial assistance to households that were not previously covered by

00:24:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000343

existing programs but became vulnerable because of the shock. To accomplish this,

00:24:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000344

we used the CBMS data to locate the poor, near-poor,

00:24:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000345

and low-income and provide monthly assistance to them.

00:24:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000346

00:25:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000363

the more important measure for 4Ps is its lifelong impact on lives of beneficiary households. From

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000364

2022 to July 2026, 4Ps has delivered a significant transformative outcome across households' self-sufficiency,

health, and education. On the poverty and household welfare, 1.77 million households have.

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

we also went back to the basics of the program refining our policies on using family as the

00:29:02Source

asr-000401

basic unit of intervention and enforcing a three child limit sheet three children limitation per

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000403

beneficiary

00:29:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000404

this year we utilize psa's data of poor and near poor households derived from cbms

00:29:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000405

as a basis for entry to the program ensuring the consistency of program intake with the

00:29:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000406

poverty statistics this explains the adjustment in our physical targets shifting from 4.4 which

00:29:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000407

has remained unchanged since 2014 to 3.5 million household i want to emphasize that this 3.5

00:29:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000408

million household target is not a reduction in support rather it is a realistic number

00:29:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000409

pegged against poverty statistics we continue to improve our exit and graduation processes

00:29:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000410

we employ stringent social case management and evaluate household well-being

00:29:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000411

using the social welfare and development indicator tool or 3d tool actively moving

00:30:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000412

families along the path from survival to subsistence towards self-sufficiency according to the

00:30:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000413

statutory program guidelines under the four-piece program.

00:30:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000414

However, our analysis of the 2024 CBMS data and the household data shows that the economic

00:30:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000415

circumstances of these families derived from PSA CBMS data are highly dynamic.

00:30:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000416

Based on validation on the ground, only around 50% of CBMS-identified poor and near-poor

00:30:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000417

are successfully registered into the program because either they cannot be located anymore

00:30:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000418

or they are no longer qualified under the program guidelines.

00:30:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000419

We met with PSA yesterday to bring to their attention as well that the DSWD has exhausted

00:30:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000420

the list of poor and near-poor, which is at 10% above the poverty threshold.

00:30:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000421

It is high time to revisit the statistical definition of the near-poor so that it is

00:30:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000422

not only limited to 10% above the poverty threshold, but up to 25% above the poverty

00:30:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000423

threshold.

00:30:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000424

Because these are households with the same characteristics.

00:30:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000425

The government's hope for the future of all four-piece beneficiaries is clear.

00:31:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000426

Help them while they are in the program and provide them with crutches when they achieve

00:31:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000427

self-sufficiency through education, either tertiary or technical vocation that will give

00:31:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000428

them the skills to have income, whether from employment or entrepreneurship.

00:31:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000429

With this recent enactment of Republic Act No. 12325, tertiary education subsidies now

00:31:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000430

prioritizes four-piece beneficiaries, guaranteeing our youth top-tier access to college and vocational

00:31:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000431

degrees.

00:31:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000432

On disaster response, QRF provides the DSWD the flexibility to immediately respond and

00:31:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000433

provide timely assistance before, during, and after emergencies.

00:31:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000434

Our accomplishments on QRF use has been encouraging.

00:31:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000435

We would like the families affected by disaster to feel that government is present during

00:31:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000436

the times that they need us.

00:31:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000437

We have a range of assistance.

00:31:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000438

We have already utilized 100% of the 2025 allotment and replenishments.

00:32:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000439

For 2026, we have utilized 10.4 billion of the 12.6 billion released from QRF.

00:32:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000440

Our strategy on disaster response is simple.

00:32:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000441

Try to be omnipresent and always armed with adequate relief on food and non-food items.

00:32:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000442

We now have a nationwide network of 1,031 warehouses with pre-positioned goods with

00:32:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000443

a storage capacity of more than 5.1 million family-focused.

00:32:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000444

We have a total of 3.4 million food boxes and a current stockpile of 3.4 million FFPs

00:32:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000445

as of September 4, 2023.

00:32:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000446

We have also modernized production in our disaster resource center, allowing us to produce

00:32:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000447

up to 63,000 FFPs per 8-hour shift and replenish stocks immediately when needed.

00:32:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000448

In 2025 alone, we produce 7.2 family food boxes nationwide.

00:32:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000449

These are complemented by emergency cash transfers and cash for work providing immediate financial

00:32:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000450

support while helping affected families recover and rebuild

00:32:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000452

their livelihoods. In 2025, 1.3 million families received financial relief through emergency cash transfers

00:33:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000453

and cash for work.

00:33:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000454

Another major investment is social pension for indigent senior citizens.

00:33:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000455

For elderly beneficiaries, social pension provides an important layer of income security.

00:33:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000456

For 2025, we have served 4.11 million beneficiaries for 2026.

00:33:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000457

Our utilization stands at 77.74.

00:33:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000458

Because we are in the progress process of enrolling new beneficiaries, the goal is to

00:33:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000459

serve as many older persons using our allotment of 51 billion pesos.

00:33:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000460

For 2027, our NEP is at 51.6 billion, of which 50.8 billion is allocated for subsidies.

00:33:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000461

Based on available CBMS data, we estimate that at least 550,000 older persons remain

00:33:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000462

unserved.

00:33:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000463

We therefore appeal to this honorable

00:33:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000465

August body to cover these older persons under our program next year.

00:34:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000466

For the social pension program, we made a strategic shift to make implementation simpler,

00:34:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000467

fairer and more responsive to older persons.

00:34:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000468

This supports our goal of achieving the progressive realization of universal social pension.

00:34:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000469

First, we remove administrative barriers.

00:34:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000470

We recognize that older persons already face multiple vulnerabilities because of age.

00:34:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000471

So we no longer require them to provide that they are frail or sickly to qualify.

00:34:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000472

issued a memorandum circular where eligibility centers on a simple proof of age wherever they

00:34:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000473

may reside with enrollment prioritized strictly by age patanda requirement your mr chair second

00:34:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000474

we shifted to psa data driven targeting there is no need to apply as a rule when your name is in

00:34:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000475

the cbms data upon confirmation from sss gsis p vow that you are not a pensioner you will be

00:34:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000476

located by our field personnel to validate eligibility under our program guidelines

00:34:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000477

this is our default process but we found many eligible older persons were still not

00:35:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000478

we're still being missed so under a new policy we introduce an on-demand application including

00:35:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000479

referrals from lgus for those 70 years old and above if you belong to that age category and you

00:35:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000480

are not in the cbms data we will process your application by checking with psa if you are in

00:35:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000481

their civil registry

00:35:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000482

meaning the birth registry and at the same time not in the death registry making the process

00:35:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000483

easier for older persons this presupposes as well cross-checking that you are not an active

00:35:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

pensioner and finally looking beyond the traditional welfare the swd's leading regional

implementation of the slp to ensure that livelihood assistance does not remain one of in a one-off

engagement but rather a sustained pathway toward livelihood sustainability one of the key shifts

00:37:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000499

through the pagsibol program where we are looking at livelihood development over a longer horizon

00:37:16Source

with a sustainability plan instead of providing assistance and ending the engagement after the

00:37:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000501

initial intervention this is an important step in achieving a sustainable livelihood program because

00:37:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000502

This allows us to ensure that government resources are invested in enterprises that have potential

00:37:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000503

to grow and become viable sources of income.

00:37:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000504

We are also broadening the way that we support beneficiaries.

00:37:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000505

We are not limited to traditional approach of producing and promoting SLP products.

00:37:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000506

We are strengthening marketing linkages and helping beneficiaries become more competitive

00:37:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000507

through new channels, including digital and online selling platforms such as TikTok.

00:37:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000508

We have seen this approach work particularly for viable enterprises, including larger and

00:37:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000509

more innovative livelihood opportunities.

00:37:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

The objective is to move SLP from one-time livelihood assistance to sustained enterprise

development with government investment linked to viability, market access, and the capacity

The department also continues to provide residential and center-based services for individuals

00:38:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000514

who require more intense and sustained care.

00:38:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000515

This includes children, older persons, people with disabilities, and other individuals

00:38:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000516

whose circumstances require specialized intervention.

00:38:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000517

For fiscal year 2025, we served 9,620 clients, exceeding a target by 11.34%, while in fiscal

00:38:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000518

year 2026, 8,067 clients have already been served as of this reporting period.

00:38:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000519

For fiscal year 2027, we are proposing 3.3 billion to continue these specialized services

00:38:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000520

with a target of 8,640 clients.

00:38:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000521

Our challenge is to ensure that our facilities remain safe, appropriate, accessible, and

00:38:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000522

capable of delivering quality social welfare services.

00:39:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000523

While we continue to provide socialized care to clients, we also need to address the capacity

00:39:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000524

and infrastructure constraints of our residential care and center-based facilities.

00:39:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000525

At present, DSWD manages 77 facilities.

00:39:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000526

Of these, 11 facilities, or 14.3%, were established 50 years ago.

00:39:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000527

Or earlier.

00:39:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000529

Or earlier.

00:39:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000530

While another 35 facilities are already 30 to 49 years old.

00:39:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000531

This highlights the need to continuously invest in the facilities where our clients receive

00:39:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000532

care.

00:39:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000533

We are therefore pursuing facilities upgrading and service expansion.

00:39:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000534

At the same time, we are implementing a cost-of-care subsidy for registered licensed and accredited

00:39:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000535

private residential-based social welfare agencies.

00:39:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000536

This allows us to expand the capacity of the social welfare system by working with qualified

00:39:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000537

partners while continuing to support the regular upkeep and improvement of DSWD facilities.

00:39:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000538

The Department is also implementing innovative programs implemented under the President's

00:40:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000539

Administration designed to address specific dimensions of poverty and vulnerability.

00:40:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000540

These are the Walang Gutom 2027 Program, the Tarabasa Tutoring Program, and the Pag-Abot

00:40:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000541

Program.

00:40:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000542

While each addresses a different dimension of poverty and vulnerability, they share a

00:40:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000543

common objective.

00:40:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000544

Providing more responsive and innovative innovations to address the specific needs

00:40:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000545

of vulnerable Filipinos and helping them move forward more sustainable and dignified lives.

00:40:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000546

Each program addresses a different challenge, but are all consistent with our broader objective

00:40:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000547

of investing in human capacities, improving the circumstances of vulnerable Filipinos.

00:40:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000548

Let me now briefly discuss each flagship program stating with the Walang Gutom Program.

00:40:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000549

The Walang Gutom Program is the Department's flagship intervention to address food insecurity

00:40:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000550

by providing targeted food assistance to poor

00:40:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000551

households. For 2025,

00:40:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000552

the program

00:40:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000553

provided food transfers

00:40:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000554

to 300,000

00:40:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000555

poor households. In 2026,

00:40:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000556

implementation is being expanded to reach 750,000 food-insecure households by

00:41:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000557

the end of this year.

00:41:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000558

For fiscal year 2027, 1.89 billion of this locally funded project with a physical target

00:41:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000559

of 50,000 is allocated and 3.87 billion of foreign assisted project of refuel with a

00:41:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000560

physical target of 750,000

00:41:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000562

effectively expanding the program's coverage.

00:41:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000563

The Tarabasa Tutoring Program addresses learning gaps

00:41:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000564

among children while providing opportunities

00:41:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000565

for young people to participate as youth tutors

00:41:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000566

and youth development workers.

00:41:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000567

It is designed as a two-way intervention,

00:41:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000568

supporting learners while they also provide

00:41:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000569

meaningful engagement and assistance to the youth

00:41:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000570

and the parents or guardians of the learners.

00:41:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000571

As part of further clarifying

00:41:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000572

the program's core intervention,

00:41:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000573

we are also proposing to rename the program

00:41:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000574

as the Tarabasa Cash for Work Program

00:41:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000575

to more clearly reflect its primary mechanism

00:41:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000576

of providing cash for work opportunities

00:41:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000577

to the youth while delivering tutorial support

00:41:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000578

to learners and participation incentive

00:42:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000579

to parents or guardians.

00:42:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000580

The program has demonstrated

00:42:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000581

strong implementation performance in 2025

00:42:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000582

and is on its path to reaching its targets for 2026.

00:42:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000583

For 2027, we are proposing 900 million

00:42:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000584

to support 66,633 beneficiaries,

00:42:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000585

including 47,595

00:42:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000586

learners.

00:42:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000587

This investment will allow us to sustain the program

00:42:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000588

and continue addressing learning gaps

00:42:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000589

while creating opportunities

00:42:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000590

for youth participation and development.

00:42:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000591

The Pag-Abot Program aims to reach out

00:42:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000592

to vulnerable and disadvantaged children,

00:42:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000593

individuals, and families in street situations

00:42:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000594

and providing them with access to social protection services

00:42:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000595

and appropriate interventions based on their needs.

00:42:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000596

As part of the integrated response,

00:42:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000597

the program also implements the Walang Gutom Kitchen,

00:42:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000598

which gives immediate food assistance

00:42:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000599

while connecting them to other appropriate

00:42:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000600

social welfare services.

00:42:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000601

The program has demonstrated strong implementation performance,

00:42:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000602

reaching 99.48% fund

00:43:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000603

utilization in 2025,

00:43:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000604

with 6,846 clients served,

00:43:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000605

while in 2026, the program has served more than 10,000 clients

00:43:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000606

with a 63.71 utilization of its 807 million budget.

00:43:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000607

For fiscal year 2027, we are proposing 807 million to provide,

00:43:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000608

provide assistance to 5,000 clients. Through Pagabot, we are bringing social protection closer

00:43:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000609

to vulnerable and disadvantaged families, individuals, and families in street situation

00:43:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000610

who may otherwise remain outside the reach of regular government intervention. Beyond our major

00:43:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000611

programs, the SWD is also developing responses to prevent emerging social welfare needs.

00:43:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000612

These include initiatives such as Project Aruga, ProtecTEEN, Project SAFE for OSAEC victims,

00:43:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000613

which also addresses specific vulnerabilities and emerging concerns among children,

00:43:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000614

adolescents, and family. This initiative demonstrates our continuing effort to make

00:43:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000615

social protection more responsive to changing needs and emerging vulnerabilities.

00:44:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000616

The DSWD social protection and social welfare mandate is complemented by the work for

00:44:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000617

attached and supervised agencies. Should this body wish for us to proceed, I can present in

00:44:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000618

00:44:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000619

or I can present the financial performance of each agency,

00:44:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

or I can call the heads of the ASAS to present and answer questions,

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000621

should you have any, on the performance of their agencies.

00:44:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000622

Mr. Chairman, I think I've read the whole NEP summary, so I will now have to close.

According to the NCDA, there are 2.8 million Filipinos registered as PWDs.

00:46:40Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000649

Kaya nakapagtataka po na nangalahati ang budget ng NCDA

00:46:45Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000650

from 187 million in the 2026 GAA to a mere 91 million in the 2027 NEP.

00:46:55Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000651

If we're going to do the math, that's

00:46:57Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000652

only Php32 per PWD. Inuulit ko

00:47:01Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000653

po, ang investment ng gobyerno sa darating na 2027, kung

00:47:06Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000654

ang basihan po ay NEP,

00:47:08Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000655

is only ₱32 per PWD.

00:47:12Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000656

Ang tanong po ng marami, bakit

00:47:14Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000657

parang discounted ang budget para sa PWD?

00:47:18Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000658

Ano po ba ang dahilan at ah nabawasan na ganito kalaki ang budget ng ating NCDA?

00:47:24Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000659

Mr. Chair,

00:47:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000660

Mr. Chair, una po sa lahat,

00:47:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000661

syempre gusto ho namin na sana maibalik yung nawalang budget sa NCDA

00:47:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000662

which is an attach agency. Pero

00:47:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000663

gusto ko lang pong linawin na hindi naman ho ibig sabihin na nabawasan ang tulong at suporta ng

00:47:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000664

pamalaan sa ating mga may Kapansanan.

00:47:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000665

Sa katunayan, malaking bahagi ho ng budget ng mother department

00:47:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000666

itself goes through financial assistance through the program for people with disability.

00:47:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000667

Yung mga innovation programs namin, yung mga bagong programa katulad ng Project

00:47:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000668

Aruga are also geared towards people with disabilities and their families.

00:47:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000669

So we will provide the committee a disaggregated

00:48:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000670

data based on the mother department spending on people with disability.

00:48:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000671

So we would like to assure the good representation na hindi ho nababawasan.

00:48:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000672

Ngayon ho pag titignan natin yung mandate kasi ng

00:48:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000673

NCDA they were really tasked to

00:48:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000674

one do policies for people with disabilities

00:48:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000675

to to capacitate local government units kasi

00:48:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000676

devolved po. LGUs have PDAO offices

00:48:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000677

or people with the disability affairs offices.

00:48:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000678

Yun ho yung mga implementing arm.

00:48:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000679

So yung mga budget n nakabukod

00:48:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000680

now itong nawalang budget na to ay capital expenditure.

00:48:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000681

Nakalagay po iyan sa libro ng NCDA to provide IT equipment to the different PDAO

00:48:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000682

offices. Kasi alam natin may mga PDAO offices na maliliit ang LGU

00:48:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000683

at walang kapasidad na mag bumili ng kanilang mga gamit.

00:48:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000684

So yun ho yung na walang suporta kasi non-recurring

00:48:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000685

po siya. Pero pagdating ho naman sa direct grants and subsidies,

00:48:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000686

wala

00:48:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000687

ho niyan direct masyado sa NCDA.

00:48:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000688

asr-000741

and the system that NCDA is developing

00:51:28Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

00:51:32Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000748

NCDA at least to its 2026 levels.

00:51:41Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Mahalaga po ang

00:51:44Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000754

malapit sa puso ko.

00:51:51Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000755

Ako po ay isang golden gay na

00:51:53Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000756

I just turned 50 last Sunday at

asr-000757

ah yung amin pong komunidad

00:51:58Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000758

ay maraming pangangailangan.

00:51:59Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000759

At sa mahabang panahon ang

00:52:01Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000760

LGBTQIA

00:52:02Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000761

community ay hindi nabibigyan ng pansin ng gobyerno.

00:52:04Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000762

Not until nagkaroon po tayo ng special

00:52:07Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000763

committee on LGBTQIA affairs

00:52:09Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000764

under the DSWD.

00:52:11Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000765

Pero nabalitaan po natin

00:52:13Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000766

na si Usec Ellen Pasion

00:52:15Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000767

ay na-appoint lamang

00:52:16Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000768

noong

00:52:17Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000769

late 2025. Kaya nga

00:52:19Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000770

po hindi sila nabigyan ng pagkakataon

00:52:21Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000771

to prepare a proper budget request

00:52:23Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000772

for 2026.

00:52:25Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000773

Um, ayon po din sa ating balita ay

00:52:27Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000774

nasa below Php2 million lang

00:52:29Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000775

ang budget nila this

00:52:30Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000776

year. So imagine operating an

00:52:32Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000777

office with a huge mandate

00:52:34Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000778

operating with

00:52:35Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000779

a budget of under Php2 million.

00:52:37Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000780

Napakaliit po.

00:52:38Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000781

Will the good secretary be

00:52:39Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-000782

able to confirm this?

00:52:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000786

asr-000788

na ibalik yung budget

00:52:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000789

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000792

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000793

the DBM to create an line

00:52:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000794

item actually for the special body

00:52:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000795

on LGBTQIA.

00:52:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000797

Unfortunately hindi ho naibigay sa amin.

00:53:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000798

Ah, the allocation that

00:53:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000799

we were asking for was Php8 million

00:53:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000800

to run that office.

00:53:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000801

Again,

00:53:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000802

uh it is a policy office

00:53:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000803

more than an implementing arm.

00:53:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000804

At katulad

00:53:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000805

ng ginagawa namin sa

00:53:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000806

NCDA na other attach agencies

00:53:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000807

except NCSC,

00:53:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000808

yung programs that they the policies

00:53:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000809

that they create that becomes

00:53:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000810

programs are implemented

00:53:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000811

by the mother department itself

00:53:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000812

and our operating units.

00:53:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000813

So pag

00:53:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000814

sana mapagbigyan

00:53:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000815

ho 8 million

00:53:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000816

that will give them more

00:53:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000817

muscle to come up with

00:53:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000818

better policies,

00:53:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-000819

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

00:59:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

And if you look at the

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001177

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001182

00:59:42Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001183

po sa ating

00:59:43Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001184

mga kababayan. So this

00:59:44Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001185

is a very

00:59:45Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001186

necessary amendment

00:59:46Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001187

that has to be

00:59:47Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001188

done to the NEP

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

00:59:49Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001190

po talaga i-adjust

00:59:50Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001191

natin. Again,

00:59:51Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001192

the budget is the

00:59:52Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001193

most concrete expression

00:59:53Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001194

of our priorities.

00:59:54Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001195

Wala pong

00:59:55Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001196

budget para diyan. Ibig

00:59:56Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001197

sabihin hindi

00:59:57Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

Thank you. Thank you, Cong Perci. Ayusin mo nga. Kunin mo nga pabalik. All your observations were duly noted. We now recognize Representative Jam Baronda.

01:00:19Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001202

Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. Before I proceed, I would like to thank, of course,

01:00:25Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001203

Secretary Rex Gatchalian for his exemplary leadership in leading the department. Mr. Secretary,

01:00:35Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001204

I would just like to ask regarding the Uplift program of the government. We base our

01:00:44Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001205

beneficiaries on the CBMS program. May I ask for the total CBMS beneficiaries of the country?

01:00:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001206

Madam Chair,

01:00:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001207

hindi, we don't have access to it kasi ang binibigay lang sa amin yung poor and near poor. We can give you the poor and near poor.

01:01:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001208

May data privacy rules; mahigpit ang PSA doon.

01:01:10Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001209

So based po doon sa resulta nila, 2024 po ba na PSA?

01:01:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001210

2023, 2024.

01:01:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001211

Ang 2024 na poor data natin, 2,546,846 households ang classified as poor, plus 20% above the threshold. So yung near poor kasama po diyan.

01:01:42Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001212

So sa ngayon po, based on sa tala ninyo, ilan na po yung nabigyan ninyo ng cash assistance for Uplift?

01:01:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001213

Kasi ho, ma'am, kung matatandaan ninyo, Uplift has three different buckets. So we gave, in my opening remarks we said close to

01:01:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001214

six million.

01:01:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001215

Tatlong bucket 'yon. Unang bucket noon is a top-up sa 4Ps beneficiaries natin. That's around three

01:02:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001216

million household

01:02:04Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001216-split-2

yes

01:02:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001216-split-3

3.5 million household one time lang huyon they all got two thousand pesos

01:02:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001217

one time. The second bucket, ito ho yung mga wala sa 4Ps pero categorized as mahihirap rin sila.

01:02:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001218

Sa 2.5 million ang target diyan. Ang na-service na natin, 1.7 million,

01:02:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001219

ng tig-₱2,000 kada buwan mula July hanggang December.

01:02:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001220

Let me explain the gap po, if you'll allow me.

01:02:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001221

The gap here, Madam, Mr. Chair, kaya may gap to.

01:02:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001222

From our manual payout, if you can recall kasi the first round is manual for validation.

01:02:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001223

Despite the fact na hinanap namin sila, una tulad na nabanggit ko, wala na doon yung mga nakatira.

01:02:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001224

Pangalawa, iba na i-invalidate dahil after two years, gumanda na yung mga buhay,

01:02:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001225

hindi na sila nagkakwalify, so they're waiving the rights or the social workers are saying,

01:02:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001226

wag na kasi gumanda na ho yung buhay.

01:03:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001227

Now, there's a last category na hindi uma-appear sa poor and near poor because these are above minimum wage.

01:03:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001228

They're called low wage earners ng SSS.

01:03:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001229

Sa database po ito ng SSS kinuwa.

01:03:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001230

Hindi sila poor, hindi rin sila near poor.

01:03:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001231

So there's around 1.5 million sa kanila of which we've catered to 811,000.

01:03:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001232

Now, bakit ho may gap?

01:03:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001233

Yung mga basic deposit accounts nila based on SSS, kasi automated ho ito, non-existent na.

01:03:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001234

They're dormant.

01:03:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001235

Nasa listahan ng SSS, pero yung mga accounts either closed na or dormant na.

01:03:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001236

So total of what we've serviced so far is at around 5.5, 5.7 million of the 7.5 na target.

01:03:47Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001237

Mr. Secretary, ito kasi 'yon.

01:03:49Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001238

In my district, during my collaboration meeting with your department,

01:03:54Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001239

iba ang nasasabi ng figure ni PSA.

01:03:57Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001240

Iba din sa DSWD.

01:04:00Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001241

So, parang meron talagang disparity.

01:04:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001242

Ako na, ako na, ako na.

01:04:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001243

Mr. Chair, wala nang—

01:04:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001244

Mr. Chair, babatukan ko yung regional director ninyo eh.

01:04:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001245

Nandyan sa likod eh.

01:04:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001246

Wala nang data ang DSWD.

01:04:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001247

If you can recall, Listahanan is [unclear].

01:04:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001248

Hindi na hindi kami...

01:04:16Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001249

So, mali.

01:04:17Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001250

Please correct me.

01:04:19Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001251

Hindi po ganun.

01:04:20Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001252

Iba yung sinasabi ni PSA.

01:04:22Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001253

Tapos yung time na

01:04:24Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001254

mag-payout si DSWD, there are beneficiaries na nung na-check ng DSWD, hindi qualified.

01:04:33Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001255

So, tama naman si RD.

01:04:35Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001256

Sorry ah.

01:04:35Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001257

So, huwag mong batukan.

01:04:37Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001258

Kinagawa niya lang yung trabaho niya.

01:04:39Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001259

Ang point is, it's good that meron tayong check and balance.

01:04:45Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001260

But the thing is, parang duplication of work.

01:04:49Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001261

Sino ba talagang in charge of social services natin?

01:04:52Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001262

Si PSA ba?

01:04:53Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001263

Or si DSWD?

01:04:55Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001264

Okay, let's go back to listahanan.

01:04:57Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001265

I have very bad experience kasi with listahanan.

01:05:00Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001266

During my first term as Congresswoman in 2019, may lista po si Listahanan.

01:05:06Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001267

Unfortunately, in March 17, 2020, nagkaroon ng lockdown because of COVID pandemic.

01:05:12Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001268

Hindi na tapos.

01:05:13Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001269

So yung una naming reaksyon is we want Sustainable Livelihood Program of DSWD.

01:05:19Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001270

We list down 230 members.

01:05:23Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001271

Nagka problema na nawala na ng trabaho or yung mga negosyo nila, nagka problema na.

01:05:32Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001272

In short, we list down 230 beneficiaries.

01:05:35Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001273

Nung chineck po ng DSWD sa Listahanan, of the 223, yung qualified lang po are 157 that time.

01:05:47Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001274

So, nagkaroon ng more than 70 na mga beneficiary na hindi na qualified.

01:05:52Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001275

So, no?

01:05:53Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001276

Dahil ang basis nila 2019, nagka problema kami doon sa bigayan ng cash assistance for SLP.

01:06:02Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001277

So, there were like 70 na hindi qualified.

01:06:04Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001278

So, yun po yung problema natin, Mr. Secretary, kung meron kayong safety nets na i-base nyo on the situation,

01:06:12Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001279

like for example, sa nangyari ng 2019 and 2021 na listahanan.

01:06:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001280

Mr. Chair, una ho, biro lang 'yon. Love na love namin yung RD niya.

01:06:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001281

And we don't...

01:06:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001282

There's no violence in the department. We like RD Tolits.

01:06:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001283

Mr. Chair, isa-isahin ko. Loaded ho kasi yung question, but allow me to expound further.

01:06:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001284

Una ko, listahanan was the main database of the government.

01:06:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001285

But because of the law, the CBMS law that this house and the upper house passed, wala nang listahanan.

01:06:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001286

Unfortunately, listahanan na nire-refer nyo, just pabalik tanaw ko lang,

01:06:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001287

nung dumating rin ako, it was a chaotic listahanan, not because the department was at fault,

01:06:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001288

but because hindi natapos yung survey ng listahanan because COVID.

01:06:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001289

So they launched a listahanan because it was required from us to do so,

01:06:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001290

or else wala tayong database kahit na hindi siya fully natapos dahil sa COVID.

01:07:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001291

Unforeseen circumstance.

01:07:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001292

But that's behind us because wala nang listahanan. Bawal na ho yun.

01:07:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001293

No government agency can craft a new database.

01:07:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001294

Ayon sa batas, lahat kami ang gagamitin na namin CBMS.

01:07:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001295

So ma'am, the first question, kami ang in-charge sa implementation,

01:07:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001296

but the targeting in the list comes from PSA using CBMS.

01:07:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001297

DepDev at PSA, anak ho nila 'yon.

01:07:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001298

Number two, not that I am going to, not that I am lawyering for PSA,

01:07:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001299

but ma'am, alam rin po natin from our own experience, there is no perfect list.

01:07:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001300

Merong 20 to 30% na exclusion, inclusion error.

01:07:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001301

Pero unfortunately, from the ground, tama ho kayo, Mr. Chair, tama ang ating buting congresswoman,

01:07:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001302

etong CBMS na to, medyo napakalaki ng exclusion at inclusion.

01:07:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001303

Napakalaki.

01:07:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001304

Kaya nga ho, kung matatandaan nyo, lagi ho kami tinatanong, ba't ayaw namin gawing automated yung payout.

01:08:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001305

Dahil nga, we need to do the validation on the ground.

01:08:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001306

As the good Congresswoman pointed out, DSWD is tasked to safeguard the money that we have,

01:08:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001307

na makarating yon sa nangangailangan.

01:08:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001308

Hindi dun sa hindi nangangailangan.

01:08:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001309

So ang nangyayari, tama ho si Congresswoman, pagbigay ho sa amin ang CBMS list, we validate it.

01:08:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001310

That's why nagmamanual ho kami.

01:08:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001311

Dahil sa manual process namin nakikita,

01:08:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001312

totoong tao pa ba to?

01:08:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001313

Buhay pa ba siya?

01:08:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001314

Nandun pa ba siya?

01:08:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001315

Gumanda na ba yung buhay?

01:08:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001316

Kasi remember, CBMS was done 2024.

01:08:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001317

We're now doing 2026.

01:08:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001318

May iba diyan, gumanda na yung buhay.

01:08:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001319

Nakapag-abroad at nagkaroon ng negosyo.

01:08:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001320

So that's my answer.

01:08:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001321

The short and easy of it, unfortunately, we have taken this up with PSA and NEDA,

01:08:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001322

and they promised to tighten the next CBMS round next year.

01:08:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001323

Kausap lang namin sila kahapon.

01:08:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001324

Kasi sinasabi nga namin,

01:08:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001325

na nahihirapan kami dun sa listahan kasi kami ang sinasabugan.

01:08:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001326

Kami lagi ang pinuputukan.

01:08:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001327

Akala ng tao, nagdadamot kami,

01:09:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001328

or akala ng tao, mali yung targeting namin.

01:09:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001329

Kung listahanan yan, by all means, we would accept it.

01:09:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001330

Pero hindi kasi kami ang nagtarget neto.

01:09:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001331

But to the same degree, Mr. Chair,

01:09:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001332

I come from the ranks of the local government unit.

01:09:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001333

Our LGUs are also tasked to work closely with the PSA in rolling out the CBMS.

01:09:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001334

So next year, meron tayong bagong CBMS.

01:09:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001335

Hopefully, maggamot na tong mga issues na to.

01:09:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001336

Another case in point, Mr. Chairman,

01:09:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001337

we've also fixed the SLP issue that plagued that program.

01:09:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001338

Kaya nga, kung titignan nyo, ngayon, mas mabilis kami gumamit ng SLP.

01:09:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001339

Because nga, one, we are no longer saying na yun na lang, yung listahan na lang.

01:09:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001340

When we joined the department, we scrapped the hole na dapat sa listahanan kinukuha.

01:09:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001341

We do the field or manual validation on the ground.

01:09:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001342

Kaya nga, bottom line, lagi kami tinatarong bakit nagbamanual kami.

01:09:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001343

Hindi dahil trip lang hoon namin or dahil gusto namin pahirapan ng tao.

01:09:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001344

Kundi 'yon lang ang only means namin in trying to make sure na yung pera ng taong-bayan ay napupunta sa tamang benepisyaryo.

01:10:03Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001345

Thank you so much, Mr. Secretary.

01:10:05Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001346

It's different talaga pag nag-local, nag-congress ka din.

01:10:12Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001347

So you're really the right man for this job.

01:10:15Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001348

And if I were to ask you, sa tingin mo ba lahat ng

01:10:19Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001349

CBMS na listahan po ngayon ay hindi tama?

01:10:25Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001350

Kasi sa nakikita ko, based in my district, sa Iloilo City especially, mga 27% ang difference.

01:10:32Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001351

So sayang pa rin yung 27% na katao na pwede sana mag-avail ng programa.

01:10:38Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001352

So let's take it as a national perspective.

01:10:40Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001353

Tama ba yung CBMS na resulta nila based sa 2027?

01:10:45Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001354

Because when I asked my collaboration meeting with the region,

01:10:49Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001355

ang sabi nila we did ask for the support of the barangay officials sa ganitong pag-gather ng data ng CBMS.

01:10:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001356

Mr. Chairman, and I've said this so many times, nung pinatawag ho kami ng special committee ni Chairman Quimbo,

01:11:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001357

sinabi na rin namin na nahihirapan kami dun sa CBMS.

01:11:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001358

Napakalaki ng inclusion at exclusion.

01:11:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001359

I think it's more than 30%.

01:11:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001360

Tansya namin sa sarili namin.

01:11:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001361

Close to 40%.

01:11:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001362

Close to 40%.

01:11:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001363

Why?

01:11:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001364

Ang average uplift na uptake ngayon is only at 60% or 55%.

01:11:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001365

Meaning maraming nawawala.

01:11:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001366

Mas malaki ho sa 35%.

01:11:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001367

So we raised the alarm already and we told the dep-dev about this.

01:11:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001368

I personally spoke to Secretary Balisacan and they made a promise to tighten also the implementation of CBMS next year.

01:11:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001369

Yesterday I was with Usec Mapa. I don't mean

01:11:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001370

I don't mean to speak ill of them.

01:11:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001371

what I've already said before in this House, as well as what I told them numerous times na nagpunta po ako.

01:11:53Source

Rep. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda

asr-001372

Thank you, good secretary.

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001418

Magsisimula po ako tungkol sa Uplift at informal workers. Nitong dumaan tayo sa malubhang economic crisis dala ng US-Iran conflict, nakita natin maraming jeepney drivers, market vendors, at iba pang informal workers ang umasa sa ayuda mula sa gobyerno dito sa programang Uplift.

01:16:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001422

Mr. Chairman, let me break that apart kasi maraming sektor yung binanggit.

01:16:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001423

Una,

01:16:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001424

wala hong database ang gobyerno pagdating sa mga drivers.

01:16:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001425

we were given lists by different sources like ltfrb

01:16:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001426

LGUs, pero kulang-kulang po yung list.

01:16:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001427

At hindi naman dahil hindi nila in-update yung

01:16:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001428

list, pero yung relationship

01:16:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001429

ng, let's say, in the case of jeepney drivers

01:16:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001430

and tricycle drivers, napaka-fluid

01:16:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001431

ho ng relationship. Maya't-maya, nagpapalit

01:17:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001432

ng driver, pero

01:17:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001433

hindi na-update yung LGU

01:17:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001434

or hindi na-update yung LTFRB.

01:17:06Source

asr-001435

That's the sad part of it. Napakabilis

01:17:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001436

nung relationship na yun.

01:17:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001437

Doon sa hearing na 'yon, nilatag

01:17:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001438

rin namin na kahit yung akala

01:17:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001439

naming madali, yung mga TNVS,

01:17:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001440

yung mga two-wheel na

01:17:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001441

ride-hailing, at saka yung mga service delivery,

01:17:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001442

akala namin lahat 'yan app-based.

01:17:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001443

But lo and behold, nung lumabas

01:17:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001444

yung mga listahan, napakarami sa kanila

01:17:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001445

pala ang ikinukubli ng kanilang mga

01:17:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001446

service, mga platform, dahil they already

01:17:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001447

exceeded their limits. So,

01:17:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

anong nangyari ho noon, binigyan kami

01:17:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001449

ng listahan ng mga iba-ibang sources,

01:17:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001450

the list did not come from DSWD,

01:17:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001451

pagdating ng payout, as always, kami ho

01:17:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001452

yung pinagagalitan ng mga driver. But,

01:17:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001453

at the end of the whole exercise, we

01:17:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001454

painstakingly did it one by one,

01:17:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001455

as in, kumunsulta sa mga

01:17:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001456

iba't ibang mga organized

01:17:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001457

groups, and we can tell you

01:17:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001458

that we have now furnished

01:17:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001459

the DOTr, what

01:17:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001460

I think is the country's first

01:17:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001461

time na nagkaroon ng listahan

01:18:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001462

ng mga driver. That's

01:18:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001463

1.8 million

01:18:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001464

na mga driver ng iba't-ibang

01:18:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001465

modalities, except non-motorized

01:18:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001466

modalities. Yan ang kauna-unahan

01:18:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001467

na listahan nitong bansa, and

01:18:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001468

we, nag-usap kami ni Secretary Lopez

01:18:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001469

and he said he will find mechanisms to keep

01:18:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001470

on updating it, para pagdating

01:18:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001471

ang tamang panahon na naman na

01:18:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001472

tulong sa kanila, mas mabilis na ho.

01:18:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001473

Unfortunately, the country doesn't have

01:18:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001474

a database at kauna-unahan ho yun.

01:18:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001475

Pero ginamot naman ho namin. That's why

01:18:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001476

from what we thought was

01:18:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001477

parang nagsimula sa 800,000

01:18:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001478

na tapos kami sa 1.8 million

01:18:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001479

and to the best of our ability, alam

01:18:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001480

namin na yun at yun na. Lumabas rin sa

01:18:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001481

SWS survey na marami sa kanila, almost

01:18:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001482

80 to 90 percent of them said

01:18:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001483

they were covered and they appreciated it.

01:18:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001484

Slow start, but we ended

01:18:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001485

strong, I'd like to think. Pero alam namin,

01:18:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001486

the efforts are never perfect. Kaya humihiling

01:18:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001487

kami ng paumanhin sa mga maaring

01:18:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001488

hindi pa rin nakasama. Pero

01:18:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001489

that's the first part of it.

01:18:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001490

The second part of it, inuna po

01:18:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001491

natin ang ating mga

01:19:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001492

transpo workers kasi they were at the forefront

01:19:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001493

nung time na yun. Now, the pivot

01:19:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001494

will be the Uplift assistance na binanggit

01:19:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001495

ko kanina nung nagtatanong si Congresswoman

01:19:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001496

Baronda. Ito naman, tinignan yung mga

01:19:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001497

poor and near-poor

01:19:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001498

at low-wage earners.

01:19:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001499

So, ibig sabihin, nako-cover na natin

01:19:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001500

theoretically if the CBMS is

01:19:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001501

correct. Theoretically, nandyan

01:19:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001502

na ho yung mga informal sector natin.

01:19:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001503

Bahagi sila ng poor and non-poor.

01:19:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001504

Kasi hindi lang four-piece ang kasama dito

01:19:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001505

pati mga poor na hindi four-piece.

01:19:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001506

Hinabol rin natin yung mga low-wage earners

01:19:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001507

ng SSS.

01:19:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001508

In fact, we're in the process of

01:19:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001509

looking for more kahit yung mga walang

01:19:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001510

basic deposit account, benefit deposit

01:19:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001511

account, pero pasok sa criteria

01:19:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001512

na ₱20,000 below

01:19:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001513

na monthly service credits.

01:19:45Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001514

Sakali,

01:19:46Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001515

Mr. Chair,

01:19:48Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001516

yung listahan naman po para sa

01:19:50Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001517

vendors, sino naman po yung nagbibigay

01:19:52Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001518

nito? I don't think there's a list of vendors.

01:19:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001519

Ako naging mayor ho ako, very fluid rin ho yan.

01:19:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001520

Pero kami kasi tinitignan namin

01:19:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001521

sila sa sektor. So malamang pasok ho sila

01:20:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001522

sa poor at near-poor.

01:20:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001523

Theoretically, if the CBMS was done

01:20:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001524

right, then dapat pasok ho yung

01:20:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001525

mga informal sector natin pati yung mga

01:20:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001526

ambulant vendors. And up to now

01:20:10Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001527

you are still paying them out?

01:20:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001528

We're almost done with the first month.

01:20:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001529

'Yon yung nilatag namin na numero kanina

01:20:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001530

na naka-5.5,

01:20:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001531

5.7 million na ho kami out of the

01:20:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001532

7.5. Hinahanap pa namin

01:20:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001533

yung balance kasi tulad yung nasabi namin

01:20:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001534

maaaring wala na sila sa kanilang mga residence

01:20:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001535

na mga bahay nung ginawa yung

01:20:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001536

CBMS.

01:20:29Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001537

Kami po sa Akbayan, we've

01:20:32Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001538

filed the Magna Carta for

01:20:34Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001539

workers in the informal

01:20:36Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001540

economy. Will you support this

01:20:38Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001541

bill creating a registry

01:20:40Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001542

of informal sector workers?

01:20:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001543

Mr. Chair,

01:20:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001544

as in always, we're only as good as

01:20:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001545

the list that we have.

01:20:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001546

Pero if I, we will be fully supportive

01:20:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001547

of that. Pero if I can also

01:20:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001548

add to the notion na

01:20:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001549

the problem with our country I believe

01:20:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001550

is we have too many databases also.

01:20:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001551

Databases that do not talk to each

01:21:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001552

other. Kaya nga ho, I think the

01:21:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001553

CBMS law wanted to streamline

01:21:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001554

the number of databases that the country

01:21:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001555

maintains. Alam po natin na next

01:21:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001556

year meron na namang run ulit

01:21:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001557

ng CBMS. I'm sure the PSA

01:21:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001558

can gladly put new

01:21:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001559

indicators there. Are they vendors?

01:21:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001560

Di ba ho? Kasi gagastos na lang

01:21:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001561

ho tayo ng CBMS next year,

01:21:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001562

damihan na natin yung mga indicators na kanilang

01:21:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001563

sine-check. And also, I spoke to

01:21:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001564

PSA last year—yesterday,

01:21:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001565

ang pinakamaganda ho, we told them na

01:21:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001566

i-link na yung national ID doon sa

01:21:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001567

CBMS. So they will link that.

01:21:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001568

So that magamit naman natin to the fullest

01:21:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001569

extent yung national ID. Yes,

01:21:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001570

we support the database, but maybe

01:21:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001571

not as a standalone, but ipasok na

01:21:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001572

rin natin sa CBMS. Hopefully,

01:21:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001573

makapture ng maayos yung mga data na yan.

01:21:44Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001574

Ilahat na natin, no, Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary.

01:21:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001575

Driver ba ho kayo, vendor kayo?

01:21:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001576

Ilagay na ho natin lahat po.

01:21:50Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001576-split-2

Yes.

01:21:50Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001577

Maraming salamat po.

01:21:52Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001578

Dadako naman po ako sa ibang katanungan.

01:21:54Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001579

Ito'y tungkol sa Regional Women's Center.

01:21:56Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001580

Ang

01:21:58Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001581

DSWD po ay

01:22:00Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001582

mayroong 76 centers

01:22:02Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001583

and residential care facilities

01:22:04Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001584

nationwide, which are

01:22:06Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001585

owned and managed by the agency

01:22:07Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001586

and catering to all sectors,

01:22:10Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001587

from children to older persons.

01:22:13Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001588

As of 2026,

01:22:14Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001589

ilan na po ba ang Regional

01:22:16Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001590

Women's Center sa ating bansa?

01:22:18Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001591

At lahat po ba ito ay fully

01:22:20Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001592

functional?

01:22:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001593

The DSWD-managed centers of such nature,

01:22:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001594

labing-apat po.

01:22:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001595

Meron rin hong 45 na

01:22:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001596

LGU-managed. Bagamat hindi kami ang nagpapatakbo,

01:22:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001597

we look at their standards.

01:22:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001598

There are also 54

01:22:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001599

private such

01:22:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001600

CRCFs.

01:22:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001601

And then,

01:22:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001602

meron ho, so that brings us a total of

01:22:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001603

54,

01:22:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001604

100 plus.

01:22:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001605

Around 100 plus.

01:22:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001606

Ngayon ba rin tatanungin ninyo ako,

01:22:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001607

bakit namin binibilang yung LGU-run,

01:22:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001608

pati na rin ho yung mga private,

01:22:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001609

because we have to look at their standards.

01:22:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001610

If they find the, if they are

01:22:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001611

accredited to run, then that

01:23:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001612

means pumapasala sila and they're fully

01:23:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001613

funksyonal. And if I may point out,

01:23:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001614

mahirap ho kasi magtayo ng magtayo

01:23:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001615

ng care facilities. Magastos,

01:23:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001616

as you know, the capital expenditure

01:23:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001617

because of the tight fiscal space. Kaya nga ho

01:23:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001618

last year, through the Act of Congress,

01:23:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001619

naglagay ho kami ng pondo

01:23:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001620

para sa cost of care, kung tawagin.

01:23:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001621

ibig sabihin, hindi na ho tayo

01:23:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001622

magtatayo kung overcrowded na yung

01:23:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001623

ating care facilities, not just for women,

01:23:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001624

but for other sector. We can now refer

01:23:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001625

them to a private SWDA,

01:23:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001626

social welfare agency, and

01:23:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001627

pay for the cost of care. So,

01:23:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001628

in short, it's like accrediting and then

01:23:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001629

paying for our clients that we refer to them.

01:23:36Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001630

And,

01:23:37Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001631

Mr. Chair, just a follow-up question

01:23:40Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001632

to that. Nagpapa-accredit po

01:23:42Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001633

even private sa inyo?

01:23:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001634

Yes, by law,

01:23:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001635

hindi sila pwede mag-operate without a

01:23:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001636

registry, license to operate,

01:23:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001638

Para po sa pangalawang katanungan

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001639

para dito sa Women's Center,

01:23:56Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001640

nagsagawa po tayo ng konsultasyon

01:23:58Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

or mga kababaihan. Isa po

01:24:03Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001644

sa mga issue na na-raise ay

01:24:05Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001645

ang kakulangan ng mga essential

01:24:07Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

operational tools sa mga

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001648

Para po sa 2027,

01:24:14Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001649

magkano ang nakalaang pondo

01:24:15Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001663

Madam Chair,

01:25:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001664

the total, we look at it from an

01:25:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001665

MOOE point of view, kasi wala hong mag-administer

01:25:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001666

ng kids kung wala ho yung psychosocial

01:25:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001667

support noon, pati na rin yung grief

01:25:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001668

counseling and all the interventions

01:25:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001669

that we do. For these centers,

01:25:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001670

it's at ₱2.295875

01:25:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001671

billion.

01:25:42Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001672

Natanong ko po ito,

01:25:44Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001673

Mr. Chair, dahil napansin

01:25:45Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001674

po namin na consistently

01:25:47Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001675

po kasi yung lack of dedicated

01:25:50Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001676

funds for essential

01:25:51Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001677

operational tools, notably

01:25:53Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001678

vehicles exclusively

01:25:55Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001679

allocated for the centers.

01:25:57Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001680

Kaya po,

01:25:59Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001681

ito po bang budget na

01:26:01Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001682

₱2.2 billion,

01:26:03Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001683

sapat na po ba ito for 2027?

01:26:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001684

It is never enough, Mr. Chairman,

01:26:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001685

especially for the vulnerable, the poor, and the marginalized.

01:26:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001686

It is never enough.

01:26:11Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001687

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair.

01:26:13Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001688

Mamaya po ako magmamanifest.

01:26:15Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001689

Pangatlong katanungan po tungkol dito,

01:26:17Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001690

dahil din po sa mataas na client

01:26:19Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001691

to staff ratio, naranasan

01:26:22Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001692

ko po ito nung nasa DSWD

01:26:24Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001693

pa ako. Madalas na

01:26:25Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001694

nararanasan ang burnout

01:26:28Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001695

ng ating mga social workers.

01:26:30Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001696

Mayroon po ba tayong

01:26:32Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001697

mga umiiral na programa

01:26:33Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001698

upang maiwasan ito at

01:26:35Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001699

mapangalagaan ang kapakanan ng ating mga workers?

01:26:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001700

Two things, Mr. Chairman.

01:26:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001701

Number one, tulad na nabanggit ko kanina,

01:26:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001702

we're now going to farm out our

01:26:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001703

functions to the private accredited

01:26:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001704

SWDAs, or social welfare

01:26:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001705

and development agencies. Last year,

01:26:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001706

Congress put in an allocation of close

01:26:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001707

to 200 million para hindi na ho tayo-tayo

01:26:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001708

ng tayo at hindi natin pinipilit na ilagay

01:26:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001709

sa overcrowded na shelters.

01:26:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001710

We're just finalizing

01:27:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001711

the guidelines kasi nakuha na ho namin yung

01:27:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001712

SARO so that there are so

01:27:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001713

many private sector swadas

01:27:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001714

out there na aminin ko

01:27:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001715

mas magaling pa

01:27:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001716

sometimes kasi they have foreign

01:27:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001717

funders. So we'll do cost of care

01:27:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001718

para mabawasan yung caseload.

01:27:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001719

Una po yun. Pangalawa,

01:27:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001720

obviously we've invested, we've

01:27:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001721

made investments in caring for the caregivers.

01:27:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001722

Our social,

01:27:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001723

we have an interdisciplinary team

01:27:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001724

made by consultants from

01:27:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001725

outside the department, from the academe

01:27:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001726

to make sure that, inikutan lahat niyang

01:27:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001727

center na yan, did a top line

01:27:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001728

analysis kung ano ba talaga ang panawagan nila

01:27:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001729

sa amin. Anong gusto nila?

01:27:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001730

Instead of, siyempre nakalagay dun yung

01:27:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001731

more capacity building, but tama ho kayo.

01:27:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001732

Top of their list is always making

01:27:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001733

sure na hindi sila nauubos

01:27:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001734

or hindi sila napapagod

01:27:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001735

o nabuburnout. So that's part of

01:27:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001736

the modules that we're running right now

01:27:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001737

to decompress, to help them do so.

01:27:54Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001738

Nasa ilan po yung ratio

01:27:56Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001739

ngayon ng isang social worker?

01:27:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001740

Mr. Chairman, iba-iba ho.

01:28:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001741

Iba-iba ho. Kasi

01:28:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001742

depende ho sa

01:28:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001743

sektor na pinag-uusapan. Let's say

01:28:06Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001744

4Ps. Ilan po yung—

01:28:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001745

Sa 4Ps ho, hindi lang

01:28:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001746

social worker ang tingin namin dun, case manager.

01:28:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001747

Kasi ho, nung una tayo nagsimula

01:28:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001748

nasa 800 yan, naging 500

01:28:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001749

now it's at 200, which is an

01:28:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001750

acceptable limit. Para sa mga case manager natin

01:28:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001751

sa ex-combatants, it's even

01:28:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001752

lower at around 150

01:28:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001753

to 200.

01:28:25Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001754

Kasama pa ata ako diyan sa 800.

01:28:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001755

Right now, Mr. Chair, we're happy to report

01:28:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001756

na DBM has been helping us

01:28:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001757

na kalahati na ng aming

01:28:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001758

links at municipal

01:28:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001759

and city links ang na-regularize or in the process

01:28:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001760

of being regularized at binaba

01:28:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001761

na rin ho yung ratio na 'yan to 200 to 300.

01:28:43Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001762

I-insert ko lang

01:28:44Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001763

po ito, Mr. Chair, dahil

01:28:45Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001764

pinapatanong po ito

01:28:47Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001765

ng aking mga dating kasamahan sa

01:28:49Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001766

DSWD. May plano po

01:28:51Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001767

ba ang ahensya patungkol

01:28:53Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001768

na nabanggit ninyo po kanina yung regularization?

01:28:56Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001769

May plano po ba

01:28:57Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001770

ang ahensya doon sa mga

01:28:59Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001771

social workers natin

01:29:02Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001772

or empleyado natin

01:29:03Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001773

sa ahensya na

01:29:04Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001774

they've been in

01:29:08Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001775

contract

01:29:09Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001776

under contract po

01:29:11Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001777

sa DSWD na

01:29:13Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001778

let's say 10 years, 20

01:29:16Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001779

years, 30 years, pero hanggang ngayon

01:29:17Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001780

hindi pa rin po sila na-regularize.

01:29:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001781

Yes, hindi ho kami tumitigil. In fact, we're

01:29:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001782

happy to inform the

01:29:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001783

subcommittee mula sa discussion

01:29:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001784

last year. The DBM has already granted us

01:29:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001785

5,000 new regular

01:29:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001786

positions. Hindi lang ho to

01:29:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001787

para sa mga social worker kasi meron rin tayong

01:29:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001788

mga development workers who's been with the department

01:29:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001789

for years. This is

01:29:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001790

for the four piece alone. So kung

01:29:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001791

15,000 sila, this is

01:29:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001792

the first 5,000 nila. Then may next

01:29:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001793

5,000 na commitment ulit until

01:29:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001794

lahat sila ma-regularize. Now,

01:29:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001795

Mr. Chair, when I say

01:29:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001796

4Ps, hindi naman kasi limited to 4Ps

01:29:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001797

lang to. Based on civil service

01:29:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001798

rules, pwede rin mag-apply the

01:29:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001799

eligible social workers sa labas

01:29:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001800

ng cluster ng four piece to become

01:29:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001801

regular.

01:30:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001802

positions as long as they meet the eligibility requirements. On top of that,

01:30:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001803

we also got a couple, konti lang naman, pero it's a step towards the

01:30:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001804

right direction, a couple of regular positions also for

01:30:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001805

plantilla positions for the disaster group, the innovations group, yung sa Social

01:30:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001806

Technology Bureau. And at the same time, hopefully, padating na rin,

01:30:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001807

sabi sa akin ni Sec Kim, yung sa AICS program natin ng mga manggagawa.

01:30:21Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001808

Ganda ng mga sagot ni Sec. Ibig sabihin po, Mr. Chair, it is a continuing regularization process po?

01:30:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001809

Correct. At may progress po. Hindi ho laway lamang, kundi

01:30:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001810

limang libo. Marami ho, and I think that's the first time na ganyang

01:30:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001811

karami yung nare-regularize. Hinahanda na rin yung second batch na 5,000.

01:30:41Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001812

Wow. Sige po. Dadako naman po ako sa ibang katanungan.

01:30:45Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001813

Psychosocial support po. Ang DSWD ay merong program na tinatawag

01:30:50Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001814

na Wireless Mental Health and Psychosocial Support, or WeSupport. This

01:30:56Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001815

DSWD

01:30:57Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001816

initiative aims to establish a systematic response in addressing mental

01:31:02Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001817

health and psychosocial concerns through wireless and online platforms.

01:31:07Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001818

Ilan po ang total users ng WeSupport platform sa nakaraang taon, at ano ang

01:31:13Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001819

breakdown per age group? Kung sakaling wala pong data right now,

01:31:18Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001820

puwede naman pong i-submit sa committee. Kasama po doon yung isa sa katanungan ko rin na

01:31:23Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001821

ano-anong mga coverage ng WeSupport program

01:31:27Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001822

para sa kabataan at estudyante?

01:31:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001823

Mr. Chair, the WeSupport program is a smaller program of the

01:31:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001824

department. 681 ang naging beneficiaries. Sounds really small, but we've already

01:31:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001825

pivoted under the Social Technology Bureau, a new program patterned after our

01:31:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001826

cash-for-work tutoring program, yung Tara Basa. Ngayon meron ho kaming Tara Usap.

01:31:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001827

It's a peer-to-peer support group in colleges and universities that we are

01:31:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001828

now piloting everywhere. Ang naging partner po namin doon is the

01:31:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001829

Ateneo School of Psychology, as well as the UP School of Psychology, kung saan

01:32:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001830

we're establishing safe spaces in schools. It's like Alcoholics Anonymous abroad.

01:32:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001831

At kina-capacitate natin yung mga peer counselors, pero obviously klaro rin sa kanila yung hangganan ng kanilang kayang gawin and the referral pathways. So that's something that we're proud

01:32:19Source

of, that we're already innovating. We veered towards peer-to-peer kasi we

01:32:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001833

always believe in community approaches kung saan we

01:32:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001834

empower the community to take care of the community.

01:32:30Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001835

May monitoring system po kayo para makita yung effectiveness sa pagbawas ng stress, anxiety, depression?

01:32:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001836

Dahil pilot pa lang ho ito, bahagi naman ho 'yon ng design. But we

01:32:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001837

will gladly report back to the committee after the pilot run is over.

01:32:44Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001838

Para po sa huling katanungan, given the recent school shootings na nagpapakita

01:32:49Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001839

ng vulnerability sa ating mga kabataan, ano po ang kongkretong plano ng DSWD

01:32:56Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001840

para palakasin ang long-term psychosocial support ng WeSupport para sa mga kabataan?

01:33:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001841

Madam, Mr. Chair, we're veering away not

01:33:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001842

just from WeSupport. Kami, we've been working with the Masayang Pamilyang

01:33:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001843

organisasyon, yung Masayang Pamilyang Pilipino organization

01:33:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001844

for the longest time. These are people from the academe,

01:33:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001845

most notably si Professor Alampay, who is one of the more senior

01:33:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001846

academe members of the Ateneo School of Psychology. Kami naniniwala, patatagin natin yung pamilya.

01:33:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001847

So we've revamped the 4Ps Family Development Sessions to strengthen

01:33:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001848

the role of our parents in making sure na alam nila ano yung mga red flags. Kasi it starts at home. Tama, malaki ang gampanin ng mga guro, pero pag kausap namin ang mga guro, nagsisimula yung formative years sa bahay.

01:33:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001849

So that's why we're looking at it from a paradigm of a parent

01:33:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001850

or a family intervention. So una po 'yon, binago na ho natin yung 18 years na

01:33:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001851

curriculum ng FDS, ng Family Development Sessions, to

01:33:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001852

incorporate newer newer topics like digital uh

01:34:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001853

digital literacy but in the same case uh digital awareness or digital parenting

01:34:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001854

These are new modules. Number two, yung batas ho na Parent Effectiveness

01:34:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001855

and simula namin roll out and these this one is being done

01:34:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001856

together with edu child another known family oriented

01:34:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001857

local group that does capacity building for our parents. At the end of the day,

01:34:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001858

yung long-term ho, we do the

01:34:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001859

sana huwag na maulit, but we do the post kung

01:34:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001860

may nangyayari. Working with the academe, we have trauma-informed care already na beyond

01:34:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001861

disasters, pati mga ganitong insidente.

01:34:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001862

Pero kami, ang approach pa rin namin, strengthening the Filipino families,

01:34:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001863

strengthening our parents' capabilities so that they can watch over their children at home.

01:34:44Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001864

Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair.

01:34:45Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001865

Just a short manifestation dahil wala na po akong time.

01:34:49Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001866

Mr. Chair, nais kong i-highlight na lang ang mental health support ay may direct

01:34:55Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001867

impact sa safety, learning at overall well-being ng kabataan.

01:35:00Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001868

Kaya mahalaga na palakasin ang programang ito bilang preventive at

01:35:04Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001869

accessible support system para sa ating mga kabataan,

01:35:08Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001870

gaya ng WeSupport. Also, Mr. Chair, napansin ko po na bumaba po yung

01:35:13Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001871

pondo sa ating Supplemental Feeding Program na mula sa ₱9.56

01:35:19Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001872

bilyon nitong taon, naging ₱6.35 billion na lamang po sa NEP ng

01:35:25Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001873

2027. At dahil po doon, in the proper time, I will move to increase the budget of the DSWD for fiscal year 2027.

01:35:35Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001874

Hindi po dapat tinatapyas ang ahensya na inaasahan ng mga marginalized sectors at vulnerable constituents ng ating bansa.

01:35:45Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-001875

Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair.

01:35:46Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-001876

Thank you.

01:35:47Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-001877

Thank you.

01:35:49Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-001878

May we call on Representative Adrian Amatong.

01:35:57Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001879

Thank you very much Mr. Chair.

01:35:59Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001880

Magandang umaga po, Secretary Rex, sa buong DSWD family.

01:36:03Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001881

Mr. Chair, ang DSWD isa sa pinaka-active na agency sa distrito ko.

01:36:08Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001882

Kaya masaya kami.

01:36:11Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001883

Alam ko marami siyang programs, pero dalawa sa pinakagusto namin, yung AICS at saka yung SLP.

01:36:16Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001884

Yung AICS dahil marami kaming mga mahihirap na estudyante na hirap na hirap silang mag-aral,

01:36:24Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001885

eh dahil sa flexibility ng AICS,

01:36:27Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001889

natutulungan natin sila.

01:36:28Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001890

So mga thousands po yan.

01:36:30Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001891

Tapos yung sa SLP gustong gusto namin kasi iba siya doun sa mga doll out programs.

01:36:36Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001892

SLP kasi we give those who are willing to work really hard for themselves na mag-succeed

01:36:42Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001893

lalo na mga walang capital.

01:36:44Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001894

secretary gusto ko lang itanong. Narinig ko kasi medyo nabawasan yata yung budget niyo sa SLP.

01:36:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001895

Ah yes Mr. Chair,

01:36:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001896

it's one of these line item na binanggit namin at sumulat rin kami sa committee

01:36:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001897

na sana

01:36:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001898

maibalik at least man lang, ma-augment by a billion pesos. Mr. Chair, that is correct. Congressman

01:37:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001899

Amatong is correct. Yung SLP, we're very happy na maraming mga partners natin ang tinatanong

01:37:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001900

na SLP. That means nandoon na tayo sa mindset of teaching our people how to fish. We've actually

01:37:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001901

submitted a one-billion-peso fund augmentation sana for the supplemental, sorry, for

01:37:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001902

the Sustainable Livelihood Program. Kasi nga, that's part of our mandate, social development, hindi lang puro social welfare.

01:37:29Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001903

Mr. Chair, I'd like to support yung move na i-increase yung budget specifically

01:37:32Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001904

sa SLP kasi na-experience namin. Ako kasi minsan ngayon yung payout, ayokong pumunta sa mga

01:37:38Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001905

dole-outs kasi parang, although natutulungan naman yung local economy, pero

01:37:45Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001906

siyempre pagkatapos noon wala na eh. Pero yung SLP kasi ang laking promise, kasi nga sabi ni Secretary,

01:37:51Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001907

we teach our people how to fish. Hindi lang yung bibigyan ng isda.

01:37:55Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001908

So, Mr.

01:37:56Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001909

Chair, gusto ko lang i-support yung move na yun na i-increase talaga yung budget,

01:38:00Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001910

kung pwede mas malaki pa sa one billion. Kasi dapat nandoon na tayo sa mode of

01:38:04Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001911

enabling our people na makatayo sa sarili nila. Kasi kung lagi na lang nating

01:38:12Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001912

binibigyan ng dole-outs, walang mangyayari. Lalaki nang lalaki yung utang natin dahil sa dole-outs natin.

01:38:17Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001913

Whereas ma-stimulate natin yung economy tapos mabigyan natin ng opportunity tumayo sa sarili nila.

01:38:22Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001914

Malamang hindi na hihingi ng dole-outs, kasi yun ang goal namin. I really commend your team doon sa Zamboanga del Norte, sa third district, kasi kahit weekends, kahit holidays, nagtatrabaho sila.

01:38:35Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001915

Kaya nagrereklamo din ako doon sa tinapyasan yung budget niyo for infrastructure,

01:38:41Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001916

kasi nakaikot na ako sa maraming opisina ng DSWD dito sa distrito ko. Kawawang-kawawa yung sitwasyon nila. Minsan isang kuwarto, siksikan sila parang sardinas. Pag kumilos

01:38:52Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001917

yung isa, kikilos

01:38:53Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001918

din yung iba sa dulo kasi nga siksikan na sila. Pati ang dami-daming

01:38:57Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001919

mga files na nandoon. So, Secretary, nag-request din kayo para sa augmentation sa infra niyo?

01:39:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001920

Mr. Chair, for

01:39:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001921

doon sa GASS na pondo na nawala rin. But I assure the good congressman, after

01:39:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001922

he raised the concern at nakita ko yung mga opisina sa kanilang lugar, that we've

01:39:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001923

already downloaded funds from the central office to repair those.

01:39:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001924

Admittedly, the regional director who is behind me again should have raised

01:39:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001925

the red flag and told us na wala na siyang MOOE so that we could have downloaded. But

01:39:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001926

we've addressed that concern. Pero in the long run, part ho iyan ng hinihingi

01:39:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001927

naming augmentation sa general services na budget namin.

01:39:39Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001928

Mr. Chair, hindi lang ito sa distrito ko, kundi sa buong

01:39:43Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001929

Pilipinas. Why? Because hirap naman nating i-expect na nakangiti, kailangan

01:39:47Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001930

nakangiti yung mga DSWD frontliners natin kasi nga

01:39:51Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001932

hinaharap nila marami ring problema eh. Pero napakahirap namang i-expect na nakangiti sila

01:39:56Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001933

kung pag umuulan eh iiwas-iwas sila sa tubig, tapos

01:40:00Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001934

kung napakainit and all. So para po matulungan naman ang mga taga-DSWD, mas

01:40:05Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001935

maraming kababayan natin. Siguro kasi nagrereklamo din yung mga kliyente niyo

01:40:10Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001936

pag pumupunta doon, minsan wala silang masilungan nang maayos. So,

01:40:14Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001937

Mr. Chair, I'd like to reiterate the need to help DSWD sa infra nila.

01:40:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001938

Mr. Chairman, much appreciated. Pero let me just point out again.

01:40:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001939

Naka-embed sa mga budget, nakuwento ko nga ito kay Congressman, naka-embed sa mga

01:40:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001940

budget ng mga region namin yung repairs and maintenance ng kanilang mga tanggapan.

01:40:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001941

Hindi naman ho zero yan eh. That's why the regional director in Region 9 got a

01:40:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001942

tongue-lashing and will get more tongue-lashing after this, because hindi

01:40:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001943

niya ginawa. It's in the initiative also of the regional director. But we

01:40:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001944

do appreciate the additional fund augmentation, of course, pero hindi naman

01:40:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001945

ho dapat umabot sa ganoon. Admittedly, yung pinakita niyo sa aking mga

01:40:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001946

litrato ng mga satellite office sa inyong distrito, hindi ho dapat umabot sa ganoon.

01:41:03Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001947

Pero Secretary, hindi yun yung intensyon ko. Intensyon ko ho naman po, support. Yes.

01:41:09Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001948

Tapos yun lang, Mr. Chair, yung number one concern ko lang talaga is SLP because nakita ko yung promise talaga nung

01:41:16Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001949

program. In fact, si Governor Uy ng Zamboanga del Norte also recognizes

01:41:20Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001950

the promise of

01:41:21Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001951

SLP sa pagtulong lalo na sa mahihirap na mga probinsya. Alam ko yung sa mayayamang probinsya siguro hindi ganoon ka-significant yun.

01:41:28Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001952

But for us, yung mga constituents natin na gusto nilang makahanap din ng paraan na makatayo sa sarili nila,

01:41:34Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001953

na medyo may pride din sila, na gusto nilang umasenso sa sarili nilang pawis, malaking-malaking bagay yung SLP po.

01:41:41Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001954

Sana po yung pondo ng SLP ay madagdagan natin. Yun lang po.

01:41:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001955

Thank you again. I'd like to thank the good congressman for raising two very important things:

01:41:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001956

augmentation for SLP and augmentation for repairs and maintenance or MOOE namin.

01:41:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001957

Huwag ho kayong mag-alala, biro lang ho naman kanina yun.

01:41:56Source

Rep. Adrian Michael A. Amatong

asr-001958

Yun lang po. Hindi ko naubos yung time ko. Marami pang magtatanong. Maraming salamat po.

01:42:00Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-001959

Thank you. The manifestation of Congressman Amatong is well noted.

01:42:05Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-001960

We move on with Representative Sara Elago.

01:42:11Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001961

Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair, at magandang araw sa lahat.

01:42:14Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001962

Kasama sa presentation ng DSWD,

01:42:17Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001963

ang mga bagong programa tungkol sa Project SAFE,

01:42:21Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001964

Nandiyan din ang enhanced na ProtecTEEN, hindi bago, pero mas napaunlad.

01:42:26Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001965

Nandyan din ang programa natin para sa children with disabilities.

01:42:32Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001966

Magkano ang pondo nito para sa susunod na taon?

01:42:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001967

Mr. Chairman, right now, itong mga programa na ito are good programs na this year,

01:42:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001968

Nagkaroon ho ng tulong sa Kongreso at Senado na nakatanggap sila ng tig-25 million each.

01:42:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001969

Pero dahil sa NEP, inalis ho yun ulit, bumalik siya sa bare essentials na 50 million na paghahatian nilang tatlo.

01:43:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001970

Pero we also wrote the committee na baka puwede hong ibalik yung tig-25 million nila para mapalago natin itong mga programa na ito.

01:43:09Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001971

Mr. Chair, ano-ano yung maapektuhan ng mga activities kung hindi mapupondohan ito para sa susunod na taon?

01:43:17Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001972

Ang proposal ng DSWD nasa 25 million level pa rin.

01:43:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001973

Obviously, Mr. Chair, we wanted more.

01:43:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001974

Pero naunawaan na rin namin na may tight fiscal space.

01:43:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001975

So right now, hiningi na lang namin na sana mabalik lang sa 25 million kasi these are very good programs.

01:43:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001976

Ang mga target beneficiaries nito...

01:43:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001982

Yeah, the targets.

01:44:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001983

For the ProtecTEEN program that takes care of our young mothers, to make sure that they don't give up on their dreams,

01:44:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001984

and that their dignity is there,

01:44:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001985

and that they can pursue and become productive.

01:44:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001986

The total, the phase one of it is 415 young mothers for this year.

01:44:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001987

Ang maapektuhan siyempre kung hindi bumalik yan, yung 415 plus our projection sana na i-grow pa ito ng 841 nakaragdagang mga batang ina.

01:44:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001988

And then sana sa year three, another 1,128.

01:44:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001989

So all these numbers will not happen if we don't get back the funding that we had.

01:44:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001990

Now for Project Aruga, ito naman yung tulong natin sa mga pamilya na may mga anak na espesyal na pangangailangan,

01:44:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001991

ang tinitingnan natin na maaaring maapektuhan ay 3,390 households.

01:44:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001992

Now for Project SAFE,

01:45:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001993

ito ho kasi, it's an advocacy program that protects us from OSAEC, or Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children, and trafficking.

01:45:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-001994

Ang total na maapektuhan will be 3,417.

01:45:16Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001995

Mr. Chair, hindi dapat zero. Dapat ma-restore ang 25 million pesos.

01:45:20Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001996

Kung kaya pang dagdagan, dapat dagdagan para sa ProtecTEEN, Project SAFE at Project Aruga.

01:45:25Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001997

Ngayon naman, Mr. Chair, nabanggit kanina yung tungkol sa Haven for Women and Children.

01:45:31Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001998

Yung binanggit nyo po ba kaninang mga bilang para yun sa Haven for Women and Children na?

01:45:36Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-001999

O magkahiwalay pa?

01:45:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002000

Women lang po ito. Women and children kasama.

01:45:42Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002001

Nasaan?

01:45:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002001-split-2

Mr. Chair, magkasabay po, women and children.

01:45:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002002

They're normally, yung mga binanggit po namin na numero 14 na DSWD Managed,

01:45:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002003

45 na LGU,

01:45:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002004

and then 54 na private that we also watch over.

01:46:02Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002005

May bilang po ba kayo nung bilang ng mga victim survivors clients?

01:46:07Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002006

Sa pampubliko at pampribado?

01:46:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002007

Mr. Chair, we'll furnish you a copy of the data being asked pag private at LGU ran.

01:46:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002008

What we have yung sa DSWD, 5,833.

01:46:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002009

5,833.

01:46:37Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002010

May na-identify ba kayo ng mga LGUs?

01:46:40Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002011

Na kinakailangan pang magtayo ng mga bagong social welfare facility?

01:46:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002012

Meron po, Mr. Chair, and we'll gladly furnish you.

01:46:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002013

Pero ang naging direction na ho namin is a PPP scheme.

01:46:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002014

If you can do PPP for healthcare, you can do PPP for social welfare and social protection.

01:46:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002015

Kasi una po, para magtayo, we need land.

01:47:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002016

And then pangalawa, may gestation period.

01:47:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002017

Ang construction time and all the permitting will take probably a year.

01:47:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002018

So mas mabilis po sana na i-augment na lang natin ulit yung nawala naming pondo

01:47:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002019

na in-allow na kami mag-cost of care na lang.

01:47:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002020

Yung mga ina-credit na namin, bigyan na lang natin sila ng mga kliyente

01:47:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002021

kasi they do it very well anyway at bayaran na lang po natin yung cost of care.

01:47:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002022

Mas mabilis po yun.

01:47:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002023

There are spare capacities for every segment, for every type of vulnerable community in the private swadas.

01:47:30Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002024

Mr. Chair, hintayin natin yung ulat tungkol doon sa na-ca-cater ng pampubliko at pampribado,

01:47:36Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002025

Kung magkano pa yung kinakailangan na pondo para ma-address.

01:47:40Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002026

Yung gap kung meron man sa mga lugar na nangangailangan ng mga shelters.

01:47:44Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002027

Kasi marami pa rin talagang mga victim-survivors ng abuse ang mga nangailangan ng mga temporary shelters

01:47:52Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002028

para meron silang ligtas na espasyo para makapagpagaling at matulungan tungo sa recovery.

01:47:59Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002029

Ngayon naman, nais kong magtanong sa Council for the Welfare of Children.

01:48:05Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002030

Kung mamarapatin ng ating Mr. Chair at ng Secretary.

01:48:09Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002031

Atungkol ho ito.

01:48:10Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002032

Ito sa implementation ng Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act.

01:48:15Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002033

Ano ko ang status ng implementation ito?

01:48:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002034

Mr. Chairman, again, let me be the one to answer if I can for our attached agencies.

01:48:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002035

I will not be answering for NAPC, PCUP, and NCSC for the record because they're merely supervised agencies.

01:48:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002036

Their executive directors will do so.

01:48:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002037

Mr. Chairman, itong usapin na ito naging napakainit dahil nga sa mga state ng mga pangyayari na hindi natin lahat ginugusto.

01:48:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002038

It's being implemented, pero there's room for improvement.

01:48:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002039

Hindi pa siya fully na i-implement.

01:48:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002040

Kaya nga pagdating sa panawagan para ibaba yung minimum age of criminal liability,

01:48:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002041

sinabi na namin for the record na hindi kami sang-ayon dahil hindi pa natin na fully implement.

01:48:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002042

Case in point, una po, kulang ho yung mga Bahay Pag-asa.

01:48:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002043

These bahay pag-asas that were tasked na itayo sa mga highly urbanized cities at mga provinces,

01:49:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002044

hindi pa ho natatayo.

01:49:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002045

Second, last year during the budget hearing, naluwabas na rin ho ito.

01:49:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002046

And that's why we innovated na kung hindi kaya ng mga lokal na pamalaan,

01:49:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002047

magtayo tayo ng mga regional bahay pag-asa.

01:49:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002048

You gave us a budget for five, a startup capital.

01:49:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002049

We are waiting for the SARO release.

01:49:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002050

Pero ready na ho kami to create those, to build those bahay pag-asa.

01:49:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002051

But again, baka sabihin nyo ang tagal.

01:49:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002052

The cost of care will also allow us to divert some of our clients to CICL private facilities.

01:49:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002053

Meron po niyan.

01:49:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002054

In fact, they do it.

01:49:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002055

So, unfortunately, the JJWA hasn't fully been implemented,

01:49:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002056

lalong-lalo na pagdating doon sa aspeto na giving them a second chance.

01:49:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002057

The restorative justice part of it.

01:49:52Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002058

Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair, sa posisyon ng DSWD

01:49:56Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002059

na magkaroon ng buong-buo na implementation ng Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act.

01:50:03Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002060

Matugunan yung mga gaps, mabigyan ng mga pondo

01:50:06Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002061

ang mga kinakailangan na facilities at services.

01:50:09Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002062

At gayon din sa posisyon ng pagtutol sa pagpapababa ng minimum age of criminal responsibility.

01:50:18Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002063

Na posisyon din ng representasyon na ito.

01:50:21Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002064

Kaugnay niyan, Mr. Chair, mahingi po tayo sa DSWD:

01:50:25Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002065

Ano po yung mga priority doon sa mga gaps na dapat nating pondohan with urgency and necessity for the next year?

01:50:33Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002066

And then, next.

01:50:34Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002067

Gusto ko pong magtanong in particular dito sa AgriCamp facility

01:50:39Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002068

Na tinatayo sa Palawan.

01:50:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002069

Natapos na po ba ito?

01:50:44Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002070

At bakit po napili na lokasyon ang current location nito?

01:50:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002071

Una po, binigay po kasi yung lupa.

01:50:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002072

Nandun yung Bucor na property, yung sa Iwahig.

01:50:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002073

Napakalaki po ng kanilang lote.

01:50:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002074

And di ba, kung matatandan po natin, Mr. Chair,

01:50:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002075

ang magmamanage naman ng AgriCamp sa batas ay yung Bucor.

01:51:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002076

So, doon nilagay para malapit na sa kanilang existing operations

01:51:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002077

at napakalawak ng kanilang lupa.

01:51:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002078

So, binigay po nila yung parasela sa atin at ongoing po yung construction.

01:51:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002079

Admittedly, nagkaroon lang po kami ng konting hiccup na tigil ng konti.

01:51:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002080

Pero, we're now in the process of jump-starting again.

01:51:20Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002081

Ano po yung mga hiccup?

01:51:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002082

Number one, meron pong mga informal settlers na kailangan namin siguraduhin

01:51:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002083

na ang kanilang mga karapatan ay hindi namin na va-violate

01:51:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002084

kasi meron pong nakatira doon sa property ng Bucor.

01:51:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002085

And pangalawa, we made sure rin na sumusunod kami sa mga environmental standards

01:51:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002086

na naka-prescribe.

01:51:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002087

Dahil alam naman natin, napaka-sensitive pagdating sa Palawan.

01:51:45Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002088

Hindi lang, Mr. Chair, sa environmental standards.

01:51:48Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002089

Pero gusto ko hong matanong kung meron bang standards na naset

01:51:52Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002090

ang DSWD, ang CWC, ang JJWC, pagdating doon sa mismong location.

01:52:00Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002091

Ang concern po natin, sinabi nyo naman po, hindi ito pinili,

01:52:03Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002092

kundi ibinigay at Bucor ang nag-identify

01:52:08Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002093

at hindi po DSWD at CWC.

01:52:11Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002094

Ang concern lang po namin, nabangkit nyo na rin yung proximity

01:52:14Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002095

doon sa existing population sa iwahig prison and penal farm.

01:52:20Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002096

Nababahala po kami na yung mismong location

01:52:24Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002097

ay mas mataas na yung risk para sa stigma at discrimination

01:52:29Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002098

na maaaring maranasan ng mga convicted children

01:52:32Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002099

na mag-undertake ng rehabilitation doon sa area.

01:52:37Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002100

So yun po ang aming pangunahing concern.

01:52:39Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002101

Kaya namin tinatanong kung meron ba,

01:52:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002102

baka yung particular standards as regards choosing the location.

01:52:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002103

First, let me just, again, baka hindi ko nalinaw na mabuti,

01:52:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002104

ang desisyon na yun ay joint decision ng DSWD,

01:52:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002105

ng DOJ, BuCor, as well as nandoon ho yung JJWC.

01:52:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002106

Personally, ako nakapunta na ho ako doon sa property.

01:52:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002107

Una, maganda ho siya, kaaya-aya ho siya.

01:53:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002108

The setting kasi of an agri-camp has to be an open expanse.

01:53:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002109

Hindi yun man ho natin siya pwede ilagay sa limit.

01:53:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002110

Okay, for the record, 50 years later,

01:53:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002111

wala pa rin hong agri-camp ang bansa natin.

01:53:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002112

So this is the first time, admittedly, na magtatayo na tayo ng AgriCamp.

01:53:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002113

We've been violating that law over and over again.

01:53:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002114

Nakakatawa nga ho, nire-refer dapat ng mga judge sa mga agri-camp,

01:53:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002115

pero wala naman ang agri-camp ng bansa.

01:53:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002116

So in the end, mas nakakatakot yun ang nangyayari ngayon,

01:53:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002117

na nalalagay sila sa mga pasilidad na hindi naman dapat na natatagpuan yung mga kabataan natin.

01:53:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002118

So one, it was a joint decision.

01:53:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002119

Two, let me assure you na yung dati naming undersecretary at yung current namin na undersecretary,

01:53:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002120

na mga colleagues rin natin dito,

01:53:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002121

pinuntahan rin nila yun bago kami nag-sign off.

01:53:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002122

Si former undersecretary Villar and current undersecretary Dimaporo.

01:53:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002123

Lahat po yan, palahat kami pinuntahan namin.

01:53:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002124

Maganda ho yung lugar, kaaya-aya.

01:53:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002125

And ma'am, if I can give you the picture,

01:53:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002126

sobrang laki nung property ng Iwahig.

01:54:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002127

Napakalayo rin niya kung nasaan yung main Iwahig.

01:54:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002128

Nasa peripheral siya, it's a mountainous area,

01:54:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002129

perfect for an agriculture setting.

01:54:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002130

So we assure you na meron ho kaming pag-aaral dyan.

01:54:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002131

Standards naman, hindi ho yan lalagpas sa department,

01:54:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002132

lalo na sa standards department namin,

01:54:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002133

if the designs weren't meant to be restorative,

01:54:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002134

rehabilitative, with a dream later on for reintegration.

01:54:26Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002135

Maraming salamat ho.

01:54:27Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002136

Abukad sa nabanggit ko na na-concern,

01:54:29Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002137

yung tungkol din sa lapit niya sa maaring mga families, relatives,

01:54:34Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002138

na bibisita dun sa mga convicted children.

01:54:37Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002139

Dahil ito ay nasa malayong lugar,

01:54:39Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002140

patuloy natin hong babantayan,

01:54:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002141

Mr. Chair,

01:54:42Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002142

at kung pwede rin mag-schedule ang ating sariling committee

01:54:46Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002143

for the welfare of children ng bagong ocular inspection

01:54:49Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002144

para tignan yung mga developments dun sa area.

01:54:52Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002145

At kung maaari, huwag na ho nating isama

01:54:54Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002146

kasi lagi ho, pag nakikita ko sa mga statements,

01:54:57Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002147

nakadikit ho yung construction ng agri-camp dun sa pangalan ng Iwahig.

01:55:02Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002148

Again, yung risk po ng stigma at discrimination dahil dito.

01:55:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002149

Well noted, Mr. Chairman.

01:55:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002150

Just as a point of information though,

01:55:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002151

isa to sa marami na ini-envision,

01:55:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002152

meaning hindi naman ito yung isa lang,

01:55:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002153

na una lang talaga.

01:55:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002154

And the dream is to build one in Luzon,

01:55:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002155

build one in Mindanao,

01:55:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002156

even if Palawan's in Luzon,

01:55:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002157

pero mas malapit rin siya sa proximity ng Visayas,

01:55:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002158

para nga ho sa accessibility ng mga pamilya.

01:55:26Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002159

Maraming salamat.

01:55:27Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002160

At tungkol naman, Mr. Chair,

01:55:29Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002161

sa implementation ng Expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act,

01:55:33Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

lahat ba ng LGUs ay nakapagbibigay ng monthly cash subsidy

01:55:37Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002163

para sa low-income solo parents?

01:55:40Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002164

May rekomendasyon bang,

01:55:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002165

ng DSWD

01:55:42Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002166

para yung mga hindi pa nako-cover

01:55:44Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002167

ay makabenefisyo mula sa batas na ito?

01:55:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002168

Mr. Chairman,

01:55:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002169

if my recollection serves me right,

01:55:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002170

it's the fund availability line is in that law.

01:55:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002171

So talagang alam rin natin,

01:55:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002172

may mga local government units tayo

01:55:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002173

na hirap to fund that mandate.

01:55:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002174

Nakakalungkot man isipin,

01:56:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002175

pero meron talaga mga LGU na hindi pa nagko-comply.

01:56:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002176

We are pushing them,

01:56:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002177

we are monitoring them,

01:56:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002178

pero kung mabibisita natin yun,

01:56:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002179

hindi funding allocation kasi,

01:56:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002180

depends on the fund availability sa LGUs.

01:56:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002181

So this is the number: of the total 1,658,

01:56:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002182

478 lamang ang mga nagko-comply.

01:56:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002183

Ito yung mga highly urbanized cities

01:56:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002184

at mga component cities na first class.

01:56:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002185

So we really want to ask Congress to look into it

01:56:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002186

na baka ho matulungan natin itong mga LGUs na ito

01:56:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002187

or to somehow make it a priority.

01:56:34Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002188

Sa tamang oras, Mr. Chair,

01:56:35Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002189

magpapropose ho tayo ng special provision

01:56:37Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002190

para matiyak na may pondo

01:56:39Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002191

kahit po mauna natin,

01:56:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002192

yung mga LGUs,

01:56:42Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002193

3rd, 4th, at 5th class municipalities

01:56:43Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002194

para sa monthly cash subsidy

01:56:45Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002195

para sa mga low-income solo parents.

01:56:48Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002196

Ngayon naman bilang panghuli,

01:56:49Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002197

magkano ho ang pondo

01:56:51Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002198

para sa child development centers,

01:56:53Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002199

child minding centers,

01:56:54Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002200

at supervised neighborhood play?

01:56:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002201

Mr. Chairman, I don't know

01:56:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002202

because hindi na po sa amin

01:57:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002203

ang ECCD child minding.

01:57:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002204

Nung dumating ako sa department,

01:57:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002205

inalis po sa amin,

01:57:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002206

nilagay sa DepEd,

01:57:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002207

and then later on sa DILG.

01:57:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002208

Unfortunately, I don't have access

01:57:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002209

to that information

01:57:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002210

or I don't know that information.

01:57:11Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002211

Okay, pero meron ho kayong

01:57:13Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002212

mga current set of standards

01:57:15Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002213

and policies na pinapatupad.

01:57:18Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002214

Pwedeng masumite sa committee na ito?

01:57:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002215

Mr. Chair, hindi po sa amin na

01:57:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002216

yung standards nila

01:57:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002217

na sa ECCD Council na po.

01:57:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002218

Ang natira na lang ho sa amin

01:57:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002219

yung universal feeding

01:57:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002220

ng mga daycare centers,

01:57:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002221

the nutritional side of it.

01:57:30Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002222

Okay, so niisa ho sa mga ito

01:57:31Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002223

ay wala hong pondo ang DSWD?

01:57:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002224

Because, Mr. Chair,

01:57:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002225

inalis na po sa amin

01:57:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002226

yung mandate na yun.

01:57:38Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002227

Alright, maraming salamat ho.

01:57:40Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002228

Maraming salamat.

01:57:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002229

Mr. Chair, and I will register

01:57:42Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002230

for the second round.

01:57:43Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-002231

Thank you.

01:57:43Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-002232

Thank you very much, Kong Sara.

01:57:47Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-002233

May we now recognize

01:57:48Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-002234

Representative Tracy Cagas.

01:57:53Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002235

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

01:57:55Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002236

Magandang araw po sa ating lahat

01:57:57Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002237

to my good secretary.

01:58:01Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002238

Ito po ay hindi naman katanungan.

01:58:04Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002239

I just want to commend

01:58:06Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002240

the department

01:58:07Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002241

for a very exemplary performance

01:58:11Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002242

on my part

01:58:19Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002243

as a district representative.

01:58:22Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002244

I'm helping DSWD.

01:58:25Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002245

Yung mga buildings na yan,

01:58:27Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002246

nagpagawa po tayo

01:58:28Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002247

galing sa basic infra

01:58:31Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002248

ng congressman.

01:58:32Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002249

Pagawa tayo ng mga buildings

01:58:33Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002250

for the [unclear].

01:58:37Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002251

So kulang pa,

01:58:39Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002252

but at least nasimula na.

01:58:40Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002253

May natapos na akong

01:58:42Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002254

isang building

01:58:43Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002255

for a certain program.

01:58:45Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002256

Ngayon may dagdag naman akong

01:58:46Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002257

dalawang building

01:58:47Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002258

for DSWD.

01:58:49Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002259

Para hindi na masakit

01:58:50Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002260

yung ulo mo.

01:58:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002261

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

01:58:55Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002262

My question now is about

01:58:58Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002263

hindi naman question,

01:58:59Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002264

qualification lang.

01:59:00Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002265

Itong social pension

01:59:01Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002266

for senior citizen.

01:59:05Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002267

Yung sabi,

01:59:06Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002268

age-based na siya.

01:59:08Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002269

So, kasi alam natin

01:59:10Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002270

maraming

01:59:10Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002271

maraming

01:59:11Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002272

social pension.

01:59:12Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002273

Seniors, no?

01:59:13Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002274

All over the country,

01:59:14Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002275

mga 12 million yata eh.

01:59:16Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002276

But dito sa DSWD,

01:59:18Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002277

ano lang,

01:59:18Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002278

mga 4 million?

01:59:21Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002279

4 million?

01:59:21Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002280

4.2, Mr. Chairman.

01:59:22Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002281

4.2 million.

01:59:24Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002282

So,

01:59:25Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002283

paano ba ito

01:59:27Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002284

70 years old?

01:59:30Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002285

Yun ang my priority.

01:59:32Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002286

70 years old and above.

01:59:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002287

Mr. Chairman,

01:59:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002288

again,

01:59:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002289

we've always been lobbying

01:59:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002290

for a full coverage.

01:59:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002291

Na sana lahat na lang sila.

01:59:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002292

Kasi when we talk to our

01:59:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002293

seniors,

01:59:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002294

they truly deserve it.

01:59:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002295

But unfortunately,

01:59:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002296

because of tight fiscal space,

01:59:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002297

laging ito lang

01:59:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002298

yung napoprovide.

01:59:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002299

So, in the order of

01:59:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002300

prioritization,

01:59:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002301

ang una natin ginagawa,

01:59:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002302

inaalis,

01:59:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002303

because the law said,

01:59:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002304

pagka-pensioner ka na

01:59:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002305

ng SSS,

01:59:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002306

GSIS,

01:59:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002307

or yung

01:59:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002308

PVAO,

02:00:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002309

aalisin na ho kayo

02:00:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002310

and sometimes doon ho

02:00:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002311

sumasama yung loob

02:00:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002312

ng mga senior citizen

02:00:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002313

kasi ang liit na nga

02:00:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002314

nung pension na yun

02:00:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002315

and they don't know na

02:00:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002316

nadi-disqualify sila

02:00:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002317

because of that.

02:00:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002318

So marami kaming grievance

02:00:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002319

because akala nila

02:00:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002320

qualified sila

02:00:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002321

pero pagsilip namin

02:00:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002322

sa SSS

02:00:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002323

nandun sila.

02:00:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002324

Pangalawa,

02:00:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002325

para to make it fair,

02:00:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002326

what we did was age-based.

02:00:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002327

90 years old

02:00:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002328

or 100 years old

02:00:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002329

pa baba.

02:00:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002330

Kasi nga,

02:00:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002331

malaki yung catchment,

02:00:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002332

inuna na ho natin

02:00:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002333

yung mas matatanda

02:00:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002334

na talagang kailangan

02:00:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002335

na kailangan.

02:00:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002336

At the onset,

02:00:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002337

dahil nga sa CBMS law,

02:00:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002338

kinukuha lang namin yun

02:00:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002339

na sa loob ng CBMS

02:00:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002340

kasi yun ang sabi

02:00:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002341

ng batas po.

02:00:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002342

In fact,

02:00:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002343

makukuha nga kami

02:00:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002344

pag hindi.

02:00:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002345

Pero later on,

02:00:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002346

upon talking to PSA,

02:00:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002347

admittedly,

02:00:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002348

may mga matanda

02:00:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002349

na hindi nasama

02:00:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002350

sa CBMS.

02:00:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002351

So ang ginawa na lang natin,

02:00:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002352

pag wala ka sa CBMS,

02:00:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002353

yun yung proseso

02:00:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002354

na may mga waitlists

02:00:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002355

galing sa mga

02:00:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002356

local government units.

02:00:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002357

Papadala namin sa PSA,

02:00:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002358

sasabihin namin,

02:00:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002359

una,

02:00:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002360

nasa birth registry nyo ba to?

02:01:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002361

At sana wala sila

02:01:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002362

sa death registry.

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002364

02:01:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002365

02:01:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002366

wala lang sa CBMS.

02:01:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002367

So kung nandun na sa list

02:01:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002368

ng LGU

02:01:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002369

at nasa birth registry ka,

02:01:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002370

wala ka sa death registry,

02:01:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002371

may edad ka na,

02:01:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002372

02:01:17Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002373

I joined your observation

02:01:21Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002374

02:01:22Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

02:01:24Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002376

02:01:25Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002377

02:01:27Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002378

Conducted by PSA.

02:01:29Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002379

Alam naman natin

02:01:30Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002380

na kulang yung mga tao nila.

02:01:32Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002381

So they relied on

02:01:33Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002382

barangay health workers

02:01:35Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002383

papunta pa ikot-ikot.

02:01:38Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002384

Ayun,

02:01:41Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002389

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002394

Okay.

02:01:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002395

So chairman,

02:01:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002396

kaya naglabas kami

02:01:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002398

02:01:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002399

So mga LGU,

02:01:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002400

sinabi sa amin,

02:01:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002403

kukunin namin yun,

02:02:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002404

i-query namin sa PSA

02:02:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002405

kung nasa birth registry,

And then wala dapat

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

02:02:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

02:02:54Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002442

certain group,

02:02:54Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002443

ba grupo ito?

02:02:55Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002444

Grupo.

02:02:56Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002445

To avail

02:02:57Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

02:02:59Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002447

Or...

02:03:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002451

Mr. Chairman,

02:03:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002452

first of all,

02:03:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002453

it's allocated per region.

02:03:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002454

And then,

02:03:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002455

ang region na nag-validate,

02:03:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002456

tulad nung kaninang tanong

02:03:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002457

ni Congresswoman Baronda,

02:03:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002458

hindi na lang kami nag-re-rely

02:03:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002459

sa listahan

02:03:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002460

or CBMS.

02:03:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002461

Nag-ground validation

02:03:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002462

ng SLP staff.

02:03:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002463

As long as poor,

02:03:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002464

marginalized,

02:03:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002465

and vulnerable ka.

02:03:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002466

Meron ho yung

02:03:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002467

individual na track,

02:03:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002468

pero mas kine-encourage

02:03:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002469

namin yung group track

02:03:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002470

na ina-aggregate sila

02:03:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002471

as informal.

02:03:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002472

So, yun lang ho

02:03:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002473

ang basic na requirement.

02:03:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

You're a poor,

02:03:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002475

marginalized,

02:03:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002476

and vulnerable.

02:03:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002477

And then,

02:03:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002478

i-ca-capacitate natin.

02:03:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002479

Of course,

02:03:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002480

02:03:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002484

a social preparation stage

02:03:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002485

kung saan tinuturoan sila

02:03:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002486

ng mga responsibilidad nila.

02:03:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002487

Paano patakbuhin yung grupo

02:03:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002488

to organize them.

02:03:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002489

And then,

02:03:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002490

the grant is given to them.

02:03:47Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

Yung grupo,

02:03:50Source

Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas

asr-002494

02:05:26Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002576

in 2025,

02:05:28Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002577

beating the

02:05:28Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002578

administration's

Rep. JC M. Abalos

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002580

well ahead of schedule.

02:05:32Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002581

So,

02:05:32Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002582

while this is

02:05:33Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002583

a notable achievement,

02:05:35Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002584

Mr. Chair,

02:05:36Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002585

this does not consider

02:05:37Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002586

the effects of the

02:05:38Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002587

Middle East crisis.

02:05:39Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002593

by 1.19 points

02:05:47Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002594

and this equates

02:05:48Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002595

to about

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002596

1.34

Rep. JC M. Abalos

Rep. JC M. Abalos

para sa aking

Rep. JC M. Abalos

for DSWD

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002613

to sustain

02:06:08Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002614

the poverty reduction

Rep. JC M. Abalos

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002619

Mr. Chairman,

02:06:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002620

first of all,

02:06:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002621

we took the initiative

02:06:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002622

of meeting

02:06:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002623

02:06:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

We,

02:06:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002625

they did a briefing

02:06:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002626

on the new

02:06:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002627

poverty data.

02:06:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002628

Alam po natin,

02:06:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002629

tulad na nabanggit namin,

02:06:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002630

hindi na nakapako

02:06:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002631

sa 4.4 million

02:06:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002632

yung pamilyang

02:06:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002633

kahabahagi

02:06:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002634

ng 4Ps,

02:06:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002635

kundi it's now

02:06:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002636

based on

02:06:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002637

the

02:06:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002638

poverty incidents.

02:06:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002639

Alam ko yung pangamba

02:06:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002640

ng napakarami.

02:06:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002641

With the new poverty data,

02:06:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002642

babagsak ho

02:06:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002643

ng almost,

02:06:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002644

matitira na lang ho

02:06:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002645

mga 2 million

02:06:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002646

or close to 2 million.

02:06:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002647

Yeah.

02:06:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002648

Yung bilang.

02:06:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002649

Yung bilang.

02:06:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002650

But,

02:06:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002651

in our discussions

02:06:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002652

yesterday,

02:06:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002653

we have to take note of

02:06:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002654

they made us understand

02:06:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002655

two very salient features.

02:06:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002656

Huwag lang yung

02:06:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002657

top line tignan natin.

02:06:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002658

Tignan natin yung

02:07:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002659

buong narrative.

02:07:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002660

Ang narrative,

02:07:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002661

tulad ng binanggit nyo,

02:07:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002662

it does not factor in

02:07:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002663

the Middle East

02:07:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002664

energy emergency

02:07:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002665

and its effect

02:07:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002666

on the poor.

02:07:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002667

And number two,

02:07:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002668

if this was the

02:07:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002669

poverty line,

02:07:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002670

napakarami na nakatungtong lang.

02:07:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002671

Slightly above.

02:07:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002672

That's why

02:07:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002673

our discussion

02:07:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002674

went as far as

02:07:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002675

ano ba yung

02:07:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002676

bagong classification

02:07:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002677

ng near poor.

02:07:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002678

So,

02:07:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002679

wag mo tayo mangamba na

02:07:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002680

yung poor na

02:07:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002681

membro,

02:07:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002682

babagsak na.

02:07:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002683

Kung hindi,

02:07:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002684

titignan rin natin

02:07:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002685

yung bandwidth

02:07:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002686

ng near poor

02:07:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002687

na pwedeng

02:07:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002688

ipasok pa sa

02:07:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002689

4Ps.

02:07:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002690

Now,

02:07:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002691

when it comes to

02:07:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002692

the budget,

02:07:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002693

I think,

02:07:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002694

Mr. Sherman,

02:07:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002695

you're referring to

02:07:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002696

the budget of the

02:07:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002697

4Ps.

02:07:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002698

The overall budget.

02:07:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002699

The overall budget.

02:07:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002700

There were no

02:07:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002701

significant cuts.

02:07:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002702

There was

02:07:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002703

significant cut

02:07:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002704

in the budget

02:07:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002705

of 4Ps,

02:07:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002706

around 13 billion.

02:07:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002707

But that is not

02:07:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002708

going to affect us

02:07:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002709

in any manner

02:07:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002710

or any form

02:07:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002711

because

02:07:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002712

3.5 million pa rin ho

02:07:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002713

yung ating

02:07:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002714

target catchment.

02:07:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002715

So,

02:07:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002716

meaning,

02:07:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002717

despite the

02:07:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002718

lowering of the

02:07:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002719

poverty incidents,

02:08:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002720

ang focus pa rin natin

02:08:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002721

is looking at

02:08:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002722

the poor and the

02:08:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002723

near poor.

02:08:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002724

So,

02:08:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002725

3.5 pa rin

02:08:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002726

ang ating goal.

02:08:06Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002727

For my follow-up

02:08:07Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002728

question po,

02:08:08Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002729

Mr. Chair,

02:08:08Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002730

may I inquire

02:08:09Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002731

who determined

02:08:10Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002732

that 3.5 million

02:08:12Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002733

households is the

02:08:13Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002734

appropriate number?

02:08:14Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002735

Was this the

02:08:14Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002736

DEPTA,

02:08:15Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002737

the DPM,

02:08:16Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002738

or the DBC?

02:08:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002739

What happened was,

02:08:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002740

in one of the

02:08:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002741

meetings with the

02:08:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002742

President,

02:08:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002743

we had a lengthy

02:08:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002744

discussion.

02:08:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002745

Ang better na

02:08:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002746

tanong niya sa amin

02:08:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002747

was,

02:08:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002748

bakit ba laging

02:08:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002749

4.4?

02:08:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002750

Bakit yan nakapako

02:08:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002751

sa 4.4 million?

02:08:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002752

It is crafted

02:08:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002753

in the Philippine

02:08:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002754

Development Plan.

02:08:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002755

But wala naman yan

02:08:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002756

sa IRR,

02:08:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002757

wala naman sa batas.

02:08:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002758

So,

02:08:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002759

ang naging desisyon

02:08:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002760

together with

02:08:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002761

Secretary Balisakan

02:08:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002762

who was in the room

02:08:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002763

is to make it reflective

02:08:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002764

of the poverty incidents.

02:08:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002765

So, kung umakyat

02:08:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002766

yung poverty incidents,

02:08:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002767

it goes up.

02:08:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002768

And rightfully,

02:08:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002769

if bumaba,

02:08:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002770

bababa.

02:08:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002771

But,

02:08:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002772

again,

02:08:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002773

let me point out

02:08:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002774

na ang coverage niya

02:08:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002775

is not just the poor,

02:08:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002776

but 10% above

02:08:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002777

the poverty threshold.

02:08:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002778

Pero yesterday,

02:08:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002779

we were talking about

02:08:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002780

even expanding it further

02:08:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002781

kasi nga,

02:08:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002782

as pointed out

02:08:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002783

by the PSA,

02:09:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002784

yung concentration

02:09:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002785

nakaangat sila

02:09:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002786

sa kahirapan

02:09:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002787

pero hindi pa sila safe.

02:09:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002788

Kasi nakatungtong sila

02:09:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002789

sa near poor na level.

02:09:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002790

At any shock,

02:09:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002791

as you pointed out,

02:09:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002792

like this energy emergency,

02:09:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002793

might bring them down.

02:09:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002794

So, social protection

02:09:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002795

has to be wider

02:09:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002796

to make sure

02:09:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002797

na yung gains natin

02:09:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002798

ng paglalabas

02:09:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002799

sa kahirapan

02:09:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002800

ay tuloy-tuloy,

02:09:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002801

hindi yung aatras

02:09:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002802

sila pabalik.

02:09:24Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002803

For my follow-up question po,

02:09:25Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002804

Mr. Chair

02:09:26Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002805

and Secretary Rex,

02:09:27Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002806

nabanggit po kanina

02:09:28Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002807

yung CBMS

02:09:29Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002808

at naunawaan ko po

02:09:31Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002809

na napakahirap

02:09:31Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002810

na napakahirap

02:09:32Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002811

para sa DSWD,

02:09:33Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002812

lalong-lalo na

02:09:34Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002813

nung nag-transition tayo

02:09:35Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002814

from listahanan

02:09:36Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002815

to the CBMS.

02:09:38Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002816

And to my understanding po,

02:09:39Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002817

Mr. Chair,

02:09:40Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002818

the CBMS law

02:09:41Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002819

was enacted

02:09:42Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002820

sometime around

02:09:42Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002821

2018 or 2019

02:09:43Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002822

and yung census po natin,

02:09:46Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002823

it was,

02:09:46Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002824

the first round

02:09:47Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002825

was supposed to be done

02:09:48Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002826

and accomplished

02:09:48Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002827

last 2024.

02:09:50Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002828

So, based on my understanding

02:09:52Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002829

and for the enlightenment

02:09:53Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002830

of everybody,

02:09:54Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002831

pwede ko po malaman

02:09:55Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002832

mula sa DSWD

02:09:56Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002833

kung nagkakaroon pa

02:09:58Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002834

ng maraming delays

02:09:59Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002835

ang CBMS

02:10:00Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002836

dahil may mga report

02:10:01Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002837

na natapos daw siya

02:10:02Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002838

ng 2024

02:10:03Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002839

pero based on my appreciation

02:10:05Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002840

of the data

02:10:06Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002841

that I've been receiving,

02:10:07Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002842

parang in tranches po

02:10:09Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002843

yung completion niya.

02:10:10Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002844

And I suppose,

02:10:11Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002845

naapektohan po nito

02:10:12Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002846

ang ating overall budgeting

02:10:13Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002847

not just for the four piece

02:10:14Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002848

but for all our

02:10:15Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002849

social protection programs.

02:10:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002850

Mr. Chairman,

02:10:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002851

the good congressman

02:10:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002852

is correct

02:10:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002853

in saying na

02:10:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002854

in tranches namin

02:10:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002855

nakukuha lagi

02:10:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002856

yung poor and near poor.

02:10:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002857

Parang ang proseso kasi

02:10:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002858

they'll give it to us

02:10:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002859

pero hindi buo

02:10:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002860

so we'll ask for more.

02:10:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002861

So, we'll ask for more.

02:10:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002862

Pero, Mr. Chairman,

02:10:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002863

rest assured,

02:10:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002864

hindi naman naapektohan yung budget

02:10:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002865

kasi 3.5 talaga

02:10:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002866

yung catchment

02:10:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002867

na tinitignan namin

02:10:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002868

for the four piece.

02:10:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002869

Pero, yun lang nga

02:10:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002870

ang naapektohan

02:10:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002871

is the registry time.

02:10:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002872

Kaya nga ngayon,

02:10:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002873

as we stand right now,

02:10:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002874

we are at 3 million

02:10:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002875

3 million

02:10:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002876

3 point

02:10:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002877

3092

02:10:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002878

so 3.1 million

02:10:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002879

pero may kulang pa kaming

02:10:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002880

400,000

02:10:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002881

yun ang naapektohan

02:10:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002882

in the sense na

02:10:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002883

kailangan kasi i-publish

02:10:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002884

kailangan i-validate

02:10:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002885

kailangan i-community organizing

02:10:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002886

pero ang assurance muna

02:11:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002887

namin by end of October

02:11:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002888

tapos na ho

02:11:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002889

ang buong 3.5 million.

02:11:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002890

We will go back

02:11:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002891

to its original number.

02:11:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002892

Unfortunately,

02:11:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002893

doon ho nangyari

02:11:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002894

ng epekto

02:11:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002895

dahil sa entrances

02:11:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002896

namin nakukuha

02:11:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002897

yung red enrollment

02:11:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002898

dahan-dahan din.

02:11:17Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002899

Mr. Chair,

02:11:19Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002900

02:11:20Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002901

sa in case of

02:11:21Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002902

four piece households

02:11:23Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002903

what happens

02:11:24Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002904

to a household

02:11:25Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002905

let's say

02:11:25Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002906

originally

02:11:27Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002907

identified ka

02:11:28Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002908

as poor

02:11:29Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002909

under listahan ng three

02:11:30Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002910

qualified for four piece

02:11:31Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002911

kaso lang na waitlist

02:11:33Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002912

dahil walang available slot

02:11:34Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002913

and then let's say

02:11:35Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002914

you remain poor

02:11:36Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002915

but now

02:11:37Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002916

you cannot be

02:11:38Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002917

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002920

Meron po ba tayong

02:11:42Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002921

mechanism

02:11:43Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002922

allowing that family

02:11:44Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002923

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002927

especially if

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002928

3.5 na lang po

02:11:51Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002930

Mr. Chairman,

02:12:02Source

asr-002935

na hindi naman

02:12:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002936

ma-review

02:12:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002943

ito yung mga worry nyo

02:12:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002944

na dahil nag-transition tayo

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002963

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

na ground personnel namin

02:12:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002970

na pwede pa ito

02:12:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002971

02:12:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002972

na kita namin sila

02:12:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002973

sa CBMS

02:12:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-002974

and then we're

02:12:54Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002977

And Mr. Chair,

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002978

based on my understanding,

02:12:58Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002979

napakalaking bagay po

02:13:00Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002980

yung inaccuracy

02:13:01Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002981

and constant delays

02:13:02Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002982

ng CBMS

02:13:03Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002983

on the part of the

02:13:04Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002984

PSA

02:13:05Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002985

dahil dito naapektuhan

02:13:07Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002986

yung implementation

02:13:08Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002987

ng DSWD

02:13:09Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002988

sa kanyang mga

02:13:09Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002989

essential programs.

02:13:11Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002990

So may mga concerns po

02:13:12Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-002991

Mr. Sherman,

02:13:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003032

as in always,

02:13:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003033

as head of agency,

02:13:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003034

I would say we would

02:13:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003035

welcome additional funding

02:13:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003036

pero at this point in time

02:14:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003037

I would rather that

02:14:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003038

funding goes to PSA

02:14:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003039

kasi sila yung

02:14:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003040

source data eh.

02:14:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003041

Yesterday,

02:14:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003042

I met with

02:14:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003043

USEC MAPA

02:14:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003044

at ang

02:14:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003045

sabi nga namin

02:14:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003046

sa kanya.

02:14:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003047

Tinanong ko rin ho yan.

02:14:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003048

Sabi ko,

02:14:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003049

I would gladly champion

02:14:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003050

his cause in this hearing.

02:14:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003051

Alam nyo,

02:14:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003052

Mr. Sherman,

02:14:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003053

the setup kasi

02:14:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003054

with PSA

02:14:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003055

is not only are they

02:14:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003056

the depository

02:14:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003057

of the data,

02:14:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003058

they're also doing

02:14:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003059

the national ID.

02:14:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003060

And they clearly

02:14:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003061

lack the manpower

02:14:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003062

to do a lot of things

02:14:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003063

all at the same time.

02:14:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003064

So can you imagine,

02:14:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003065

they're running

02:14:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003066

the field work

02:14:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003067

or data gathering

02:14:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003068

ng CBMS

02:14:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003069

pero yung mga office nila

02:14:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003070

gahol rin sa tao

02:14:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003071

sa pagpasok

02:14:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003072

ng national ID.

02:14:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003073

So we've seen

02:14:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003074

the effects of it

02:14:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003075

na nagdi-delay talaga

02:14:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003076

one of the tasks

02:14:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003077

or the other.

02:14:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003078

So I think,

02:14:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003079

if meron ho tayo

02:14:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003080

sanang tulungan,

02:14:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003081

tulungan ho natin

02:14:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003082

yung PSA

02:14:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003083

by adding more staff

02:14:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003084

for them,

02:14:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003085

more equipment

02:14:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003086

for them,

02:14:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003087

and more satellite

02:14:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003088

offices for them

02:14:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003089

para yung mga

02:14:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003090

constituents ho natin

02:14:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003091

hindi na kailan

02:14:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003092

lumuwas kung saan-saan pa

02:14:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003093

para lang

02:15:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003095

magpalista at makakuha ng national ID na unti-unti na nagiging bahagi ng mainstream programming ng ating pamalaan.

02:15:08Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-003096

Thank you, Secretary. Mr. Chair, gusto ko rin pumalaman.

02:15:11Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-003097

Ang social pension budget for 2027 is at around P51.6 billion.

02:15:16Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-003098

Yet the target number of beneficiaries actually increases by about 151,775 to reach 4.24 million indigent seniors.

02:15:26Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-003099

Given that this is a statutory entitlement, can you confirm that a flat budget is sufficient to cover more beneficiaries without reducing the per-person pension amount or creating new waitlists?

02:15:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003100

Mr. Chairman, it is not enough. Sa waitlist lang or dun sa listahan ng CBMS na pwede pa mag-qualify, that's around half a million already.

02:15:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003101

On top of that, sa mga LGU at katabi hunyo yung isa nating representative who's been championing universal social pension,

02:15:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003102

I think the right way of looking at it is to add more money for social pension.

02:15:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003103

Para ho, makover natin yung mga karapat dapat.

02:16:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003104

Ang hinihingi ho namin dyan, 6.8 billion to cover only those in the CBMS.

02:16:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003105

But if you are going to look at the waitlist sa ground, napakarami pa ho.

02:16:11Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-003106

Before I conclude my interpolation, I want to note something positive.

02:16:16Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-003107

Even if may mga budget cut po tayo sa DSWD, napansin ko po na tumaas ang ating personal services.

02:16:23Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-003108

And its share of the budget grows from 6.3 to about 8.7.

02:16:26Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-003109

And this reflects the DBM-approved enhanced structure.

02:16:31Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-003110

And does this mean na yung roughly yung mga JO po natin na city and municipal link,

02:16:35Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-003111

some of whom have served the department for over a decade,

02:16:38Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-003112

will finally transition into a more contractual or permanent position?

02:16:42Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-003113

And if so, I would like to put on record that this is a genuine win for the department

02:16:48Source

Rep. JC M. Abalos

asr-003114

dahil kinikinala po natin ang sipag ng ating mga city and municipal link.

02:16:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003115

It is, Mr. Chairman, and we'd like to thank Congress and Senate

02:16:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003116

for championing it.

02:16:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003117

Dagdag na 5,000 plus na kulang-kulang 5,700 na bagong regular positions yun.

02:17:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003118

That will go to the four-piece cluster, whether you're a social worker or a development worker,

02:17:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003119

with a promise kaagad na may buntot pa siyang another 5,000.

Kung i-rate ko kayo, sekretary,

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

Your social workers and your field personnel

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003157

banggit mo na kanina yung AFLI program

02:19:05Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003158

and PoorPeace is commendable,

02:19:07Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003159

what percentage of DSWD's total payout volume

02:19:13Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003160

across all social assistance programs

02:19:16Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003161

is currently disbursed via fully digital channels

02:19:20Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003162

versus manual cash in-hand payouts?

02:19:24Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003163

Atlat po ba?

02:19:25Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003164

Ang mga programa nito ay patungo na po

02:19:28Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003165

sa digitalization ng payout?

02:19:31Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003166

May text ng text sa akin po kasi, sekretary,

02:19:33Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003167

mga mahihirap nating questions sa Bulacan.

02:19:36Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003168

Paano daw natin masisiguro na ang mga binibisaryo natin

02:19:40Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003169

na walang bangko, smartphone, o internet

02:19:43Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003170

ay hindi mapag-iiwanan during payouts?

02:19:45Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003171

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

02:19:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003172

That's correct, Mr. Chairman.

02:19:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003173

For different programs, iba-ibang strokes po.

02:19:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003174

Sa walang gutong program, it's fully digital

02:19:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003175

kasi from day one, digital na yun.

02:19:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003176

For PoorPeace, ganun din ho.

02:19:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003177

Pero admittedly, doon sa social protection

02:19:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003178

like AICS, which bahagi ang Uplift,

02:20:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003179

we're still in the process of doing it.

02:20:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003180

Bakit po?

02:20:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003181

Kasi tulad dito sa Uplift, natuklasan namin,

02:20:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003182

katulad ng Pinoy in doubt nyo,

02:20:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003183

napakaraming mahihirap nating kababayan ng unbanked.

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

Wala silang bank account.

02:20:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003185

So dito sa Uplift, ang goal ho sana namin

02:20:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003186

that entire 2.5 million na Group 2, sana digital na.

02:20:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003187

Pero nung nag-payout ho kami for validation

02:20:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003188

para kunin yung kanila mga GCash account or ATM accounts,

02:20:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003189

only 20% of them ang may mga bank account.

02:20:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003190

So we've been working with the BSP, Banko Sentral,

02:20:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003191

si Deputy Governor Bernard Romulo Puyat

02:20:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003192

to make sure na on this payout sa Uplift,

02:20:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003193

nandun na yung mga banko at GCash.

02:20:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003194

We're enrolling them already.

02:20:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003195

Nahihirapan ho kami kasi gustuhin man namin

02:20:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003196

na mag-digital.

02:20:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003197

Tulad na na-point out nyo,

02:20:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003198

napakarami sa kanila ang walang banko

02:20:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003199

at nanganganib na mapag-iwanan

02:20:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003200

kapagka pipilitin namin yung digital oramismo.

02:21:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003201

Pero sa mga darating na buwan,

02:21:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003202

parami ng parami na ho,

02:21:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003203

20% na yung may bank accounts.

02:21:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003204

So hopefully we can get more than that 20%

02:21:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003205

para maglipat na tayo sa digital format.

02:21:11Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003206

Thank you, Mr. Chair Secretary,

02:21:16Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003207

for that response.

02:21:18Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003208

Pangalawang tanong ko po,

02:21:19Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003209

so last na lang po ito,

02:21:20Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003210

regarding po doon sa

02:21:21Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003211

launch of decentralized

02:21:24Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003212

PWID database

02:21:26Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003213

with NCDA.

02:21:28Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003214

How will the DSWD

02:21:30Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003215

audit existing

02:21:32Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003216

LGU-issued PWD

02:21:34Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003217

and senior citizens' cards

02:21:36Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003218

to purge fake IDs currently exploiting

02:21:39Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003219

municipal discount benefits?

02:21:41Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003220

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

02:21:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003221

Mr. Chairman,

02:21:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003222

right now this program is being

02:21:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003223

thought of carefully.

02:21:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003224

We're working with the

02:21:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003225

LGUs actually in the BIR

02:21:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003226

para masigurado natin seamless yung launch niya.

02:21:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003227

Meron tayong mga LGUs na nag-adapt na,

02:21:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003228

ready na sila.

02:21:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003229

Pero again, alam natin na masalimuot to

02:21:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003230

because even in the law on the PWD ID,

02:22:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003231

ang issuing agent talaga is the LGU,

02:22:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003232

not the national government.

02:22:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003233

So we don't want to infringe

02:22:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003234

in that devolved function.

02:22:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003235

Pero it doesn't mean na hindi tayo gagawa ng hakbang.

02:22:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003236

Patuloy tong programa na to,

02:22:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003237

pero tulad din sa inyo,

02:22:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003238

we are moving with utmost caution.

02:22:18Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003239

Thank you, Mr. Chair,

02:22:22Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003240

Secretary,

02:22:23Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003241

for that response.

02:22:25Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003242

Mr. Chairman,

02:22:27Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003243

the DSWD serves as the social conscience

02:22:31Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003244

of our government

02:22:32Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003245

by providing critical safety nets

02:22:34Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003246

to vulnerable Filipinos.

02:22:36Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003247

And within this framework,

02:22:38Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003248

the National Commission for Senior Citizens

02:22:41Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003249

stands as a cornerstone

02:22:43Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003250

in safeguarding the dignity,

02:22:45Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003251

welfare, and rights of our elderly population.

02:22:48Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003252

I therefore manifest

02:22:50Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003253

my full support

02:22:51Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003254

for the proposed budget

02:22:53Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003255

of the Department of Social Welfare and Development

02:22:56Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003256

and the National Commission for Senior Citizens.

02:22:59Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003257

Kung pwede sana, Mr. Chair,

02:23:00Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003258

sa mga kasama ko rito

02:23:02Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003259

sa Commission of Appropriations,

02:23:04Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003260

dagdagang po natin

02:23:05Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003261

kung pwede natin dagdagang pa sana ang kanilang budget.

02:23:08Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003262

Tulog po rin ni our good friend,

02:23:10Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003263

Congressman Rufus Rodriguez,

02:23:12Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003264

sigurado,

02:23:13Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003265

mamayang may dagdag na yan.

02:23:15Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003266

Thank you po, Mr. Chair.

02:23:17Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-003267

Salamat, Mr. Chairman.

02:23:19Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

02:23:20Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003269

Thank you, Kong Plato.

02:23:22Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003270

We now recognize

02:23:25Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003271

Rep. Twitchy Niño.

02:23:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003272

Thank you po.

02:23:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003273

Thank you, Chair.

02:23:35Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003274

Meron po tayong presentation.

02:23:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003275

Ayan.

02:23:41Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003276

Okay.

02:23:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003277

So ang unang mga tanong po natin ay

02:23:45Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003278

mas may kinalaman sa national policy

02:23:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003279

as expressed in the DSWD budget.

02:23:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003280

Specifically on poverty alleviation.

02:23:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003281

So kinuha po natin yung datos

02:23:57Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003282

ng mga tawagin nating core ayuda programs

02:24:01Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003283

ng DSWD from 2016 to 2026.

02:24:05Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003284

Tapos nandyan din yung proposed ng 2027.

02:24:09Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003285

So kasama dyan, pinagsama-sama natin yung

02:24:13Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003286

sa pantawid, 4Ps, AICS, at saka SLP,

02:24:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003287

plus also some others,

02:24:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003288

yung ayuda ACAP, yung food stamp program,

02:24:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003289

at saka yung LITAO.

02:24:27Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003290

Pero parang tawagin nating mas minor yung mga ngayon.

02:24:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003291

Okay. Anong nakita natin dito?

02:24:33Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003292

Well, una, yung paglaki.

02:24:35Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003293

Over a decade, 2016 to 2026.

02:24:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003294

Noong 2016, last year of the Aquino administration,

02:24:45Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003295

73 billion yung total na ayuda sa ilalim ng DSWD.

02:24:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003296

2026 is na 184 billion.

02:24:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003297

Tapos makikita nyo rin dun sa color coding

02:24:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003298

yung mga share ng iba't ibang programa.

02:25:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003299

Yung blue, yun yung 4Ps.

02:25:03Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003300

Yung orange, yung AICS.

02:25:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003301

Okay. Lipat tayo.

02:25:11Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003302

The next tab is NEP versus GAA.

02:25:15Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003303

Okay. So it's the same.

02:25:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003304

Kaya lang kinumpere lang natin yung NEP as against GAA over the decade.

02:25:23Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003305

Anong masasabi lang natin dito?

02:25:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003306

Na actually from 2016 to 2020...

02:25:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003307

Sorry.

02:25:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003308

2016 to 2021,

02:25:37Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003309

ay more or less kung ano yung pinropose ng NEP na ayuda,

02:25:43Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003310

yun din ang ina-approve ng Kongreso.

02:25:47Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003311

Sa GAA.

02:25:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003312

Pero napansin natin from 2022,

02:25:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003313

pagpasok huling taon ng Duterte,

02:25:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003314

at lalo na sa ilalim ng Marcos Jr. administration,

02:25:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003315

ay naging significant yung tinatawag minsan insertions

02:26:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003316

ng Kongreso.

02:26:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003317

Pinapalaki significantly yung ayuda.

02:26:11Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003318

So nakikita natin yan.

02:26:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003319

Especially in 2024 and 2026.

02:26:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003320

Yung yellow, yung nasa taas na yun,

02:26:19Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003321

that's ACAP.

02:26:21Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003322

Na pinasok talaga yan ng Kongreso.

02:26:23Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003323

Okay.

02:26:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003324

Then the next tab,

02:26:27Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003325

dito yung ilang mga punto natin.

02:26:29Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003326

One,

02:26:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003327

yung total ayuda budget na covered dito

02:26:33Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003328

ay lumaki po, Mr. Chair,

02:26:35Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003329

by 152%.

02:26:39Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003330

So 152% ang inilaki ng ayuda budget

02:26:45Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003331

ng DSWD.

02:26:47Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003332

73 billion 2016,

02:26:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003333

184 billion 2026.

02:26:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003334

So unang tanong,

02:26:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003335

actually,

02:26:57Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003336

tanong sa Kongreso as much as

02:26:59Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003337

DSWD.

02:27:01Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003338

Wala tayo po tayong duda na

02:27:03Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003339

especially under Secretary Gatchal Yan,

02:27:05Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003340

ay generally very efficient ang DSWD

02:27:09Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003341

sa pag-implement ng mga programang ito.

02:27:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003342

Mas ang tanong po natin ay,

02:27:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003343

ano ang masasabi natin

02:27:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003344

sa ganitong mahigit pagdoble

02:27:21Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003345

ng ayuda budget?

02:27:23Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003346

Hindi ba pinapakita nito

02:27:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003347

yung mga problema at limitasyon

02:27:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003348

ng patakaran ng poverty alleviation?

02:27:31Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003349

Bakit?

02:27:33Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003350

Dahil yes, may natulungang mga mahirap.

02:27:37Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003351

May mga maaaring, sabi ng DEV-DEV,

02:27:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003352

nabawasan na raw ang bilang ng mahirap sa Pilipinas.

02:27:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003353

Maaaring totoo, may mga nagkokontest nun,

02:27:47Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003354

pero nabawasan dahil

02:27:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003355

nakadepende sa ayuda.

02:27:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003356

Hindi sa trabaho,

02:27:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003357

hindi sa kabuhayan.

02:27:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003358

Di po ba ganun yun? Anong masasabi ng DSWD dyan?

02:28:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003359

Mr. Chairman,

02:28:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003360

the points are well taken.

02:28:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003361

Kami kasi in the department,

02:28:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003362

we want to look at certain things,

02:28:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003363

if we can go back to those slides.

02:28:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003364

For instance, yung conditional cash transfer yung 4Ps.

02:28:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003365

Other people will call it ayuda

02:28:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003366

while we call it investment in human capital.

02:28:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003367

Kasi may condition po yan eh.

02:28:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003368

To the same degree, pati yung walang gutom.

02:28:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003369

It's not flat out na ibibigay sa'yo.

02:28:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003370

Now, we also know,

02:28:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003371

by looking at it as human development investments,

02:28:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003372

ito ay paghahanda sa ating mga kababayan

02:28:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003373

na matamasa yung paglago ng ekonomiya

02:28:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003374

kung may mga bagong trabaho na malilika over the years.

02:28:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003375

Kasi alam natin na hindi natin mabubura ang kahirapan overnight.

02:28:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003376

That's why 4Ps is an intergenerational

02:28:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003377

breaking off cycle ng poverty.

02:28:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003378

Kasi ang mangyayari po, kung wala yan,

02:28:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003379

maaaring lalago ang ekonomiya pero maiiwanan yung

02:28:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003380

ilan lang yung tatamasa nung paglago na yun.

02:28:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003381

Because our population, a big segment of it,

02:29:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003382

4.4 million na nagsimula tayo,

02:29:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003383

ay hindi ready to catch that.

02:29:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003384

Kasi hindi nag-aaral, kulang sa early childhood interventions.

02:29:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003385

So kami, we would like to look at that.

02:29:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003386

The 4Ps as a conditional cash transfer

02:29:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003387

more than an ayuda but rather an investment in human capital.

02:29:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003388

Now let's talk about 4Ps.

02:29:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003389

Kalahati kasi ng budget namin kaagad ng 4Ps, Mr. Chairman.

02:29:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003390

Para kahit nakapikit kayo,

02:29:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003391

kung binibigyan kami ng 200 billion,

02:29:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003392

100 billion nun kaagad sa 4Ps.

02:29:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003393

That's why inuna ko siya kasi siya yung pinakalayon share ng aming budget.

02:29:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003394

Pero kung titignan niyo rin ho,

02:29:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003395

starting 2022, bumaba ba na yung bilang ng 4Ps?

02:29:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003396

Kanina tinalakay namin mula sa 4.4 na stagnant lang siya.

02:29:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003397

Ngayon reflective na siya sa bagong poverty incidents.

02:29:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003398

1.77 million na pamilya na.

02:29:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003399

1.77 million Filipino families has graduated out of 4Ps into self-sufficiency.

02:29:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003400

So ibig sabihin, may tagumpay na tayo.

02:30:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003401

sa kanila. Pero yung tulad

02:30:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003402

ng sinasabi ng DepDev, itong mga

02:30:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003403

naka-breakout, vulnerable pa rin ho sila.

02:30:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003404

At these are the ones

02:30:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003405

na isang shock lang. Kamatayan

02:30:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003406

sa pamilya, bagyo,

02:30:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003407

sakit.

02:30:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003408

It will spiral them back. Kaya nga,

02:30:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003409

if I were to look at this chart,

02:30:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003410

habang lumiliit si 4Ps,

02:30:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003411

nadagdagdagan

02:30:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003412

ang ating ayuda program,

02:30:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003413

because that's meant for social welfare

02:30:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003414

or social protection in times

02:30:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003415

of a shock. Kung

02:30:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003416

bibigay ho namin mamaya, meron ho kaming slide

02:30:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003417

para ipakita yung physical number

02:30:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003418

ng mga tao na nag-avail ng AICS.

02:30:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003419

Now, Mr. Chairman, I know the good

02:30:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003420

gentleman will have more questions,

02:30:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003421

but let me just say this.

02:30:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003422

I always like ito sinasabi.

02:30:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003423

Ang pangalan ho ng Departamento

02:30:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003424

namin, Social Welfare and

02:30:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003425

Development. Minsan lang nga,

02:30:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003426

tama siya, natutuon kami sa social

02:30:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003427

welfare, nakakalimutan yung development.

02:30:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003428

Pero we'd like to think

02:30:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003429

that we're gradually putting more thrust in the

02:30:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003430

development side with hopefully

02:30:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003431

paliitin rin ang paliitin

02:31:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003432

over the years, etong red

02:31:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003433

part ng inyong

02:31:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003434

presentation.

02:31:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003435

While we're managing the blue part,

02:31:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003436

which I believe, malayo lang, hindi ko makita.

02:31:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003437

While managing the blue part, which is the

02:31:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003438

4Ps, na lumiliit na siya,

02:31:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003439

as they graduate,

02:31:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003440

kailangan nila ng social crutches,

02:31:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003441

social protection, which is AICS.

02:31:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003442

Then hopefully, the day

02:31:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003443

will come na talagang malayang malaya na sila,

02:31:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003444

malayong malayo na sila sa

02:31:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003445

danger zone, at mapaliit rin.

02:31:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003446

Sabihin natin yung AICS.

02:31:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003447

Thank you for that. Pero,

02:31:33Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003448

sabi nyo, okay, dahil

02:31:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003449

lumiliit yung

02:31:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003450

4Ps, pero

02:31:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003451

they graduate to near poor,

02:31:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003452

kaya lumalaki yung AICS.

02:31:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003453

However, napansin din natin

02:31:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003454

ang isang trend, yung

02:31:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003455

SLP, Sustainable Live Year Program.

02:31:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003456

Supposedly, ito yung parang

02:31:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003457

halfway program

02:31:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003458

sa mga gagraduate,

02:31:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003459

diba? Pero ang nangyari din

02:31:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003460

ay lumiliit.

02:32:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003461

45%,

02:32:01Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003462

over the decade,

02:32:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003463

from around almost

02:32:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003464

10 billion, naging halos 5,

02:32:09Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003465

less than 5 billion, or

02:32:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003466

6 billion ang budget.

02:32:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003467

How can you explain that?

02:32:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003468

Mr. Chairman, kami hindi ko kami nagkukulang

02:32:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003469

na laging dumulog, nandumulog, nandumulog

02:32:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003470

para dagdagan yung SLP budget.

02:32:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003471

Because, as I mentioned,

02:32:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003472

it's something that we like. Kasi nakakakita kami

02:32:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003473

ng success stories. Ito yung crutch

02:32:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003474

program. Tama kayo. Ito yung saklay,

02:32:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003475

palabas, lalo. So, sana,

02:32:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003476

dagdagan ho talaga yan. Nagsimula na

02:32:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003477

yung maliit. When I joined the department, it was at

02:32:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003478

around 7 billion or 6 billion.

02:32:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003479

Ang growth lang niya, minsan 1

02:32:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003480

billion, minsan atras ng 500 million.

02:32:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003481

We're really pleading na lakihan

02:32:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003482

ho yan. Because it's a social

02:32:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003483

development program that we're very

02:32:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003484

proud of, na sana tignan ng tignan.

02:32:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003485

So, ang sinasabi ni

02:32:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003486

SEC, kongreso raw

02:32:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003487

nagtatanggal o nagbabawas

02:32:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003488

sa SLP. Ay, hindi po. Mr. Chairman,

02:32:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003489

nagsimula na siyang maliit.

02:32:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003490

Hindi na siya pantay, to begin with.

02:33:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003491

So, sana we put equal

02:33:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003492

gas on it. Okay.

02:33:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003493

In other words, as a matter of policy,

02:33:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003494

binabawasan yung SLP. Now,

02:33:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003495

my last statistic that I

02:33:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003496

last set of statistics I want to point

02:33:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003497

out, yung AICS. Nung

02:33:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003498

2016, ito

02:33:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003499

po ay

02:33:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003500

700 million pesos.

02:33:21Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003501

No?

02:33:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003502

Pero, let

02:33:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003503

me see. Meron tayong data

02:33:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003504

dyan.

02:33:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003505

AICS,

02:33:29Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003506

700 million.

02:33:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003507

Pero, by

02:33:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003508

2026,

02:33:35Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003509

it became

02:33:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003510

63.9 billion pesos.

02:33:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003511

That's a

02:33:41Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003512

9,000

02:33:43Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003513

percent increase

02:33:45Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003514

in the program.

02:33:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003515

9,000 percent po.

02:33:51Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003516

No? So, nakaka

02:33:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003517

gimbal

02:33:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003518

na rate

02:33:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003519

of increase. No? Ang concern

02:33:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003520

po natin dito, ay,

02:34:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003521

alam naman natin na

02:34:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003522

yung, sabihin na natin, yung

02:34:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003523

four-piece, yung programa niyong four-piece,

02:34:07Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003524

you know, based on objective

02:34:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003525

criteria, supposedly, parametric.

02:34:11Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003526

Diba? Merong poverty statistics,

02:34:13Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003527

so on and so forth. May listahanan.

02:34:15Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003528

Pero, alam din naman ng

02:34:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003529

madla ng publiko,

02:34:19Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003530

kahit minsan hindi ina-admit

02:34:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003531

ito, yung AICS, yun yung patronage.

02:34:23Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003532

Yun yung batay sa listahan

02:34:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003533

ni

02:34:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003534

congressman, ni senator,

02:34:29Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003535

etc. So, ang

02:34:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003536

concern po natin, ang trend po

02:34:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003537

na lumalabas

02:34:33Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003538

habang ay papalaki

02:34:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003539

ang

02:34:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003540

ayuda na nakabatay

02:34:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003541

sa politika. O yung

02:34:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003542

ayuda na ginagamit sa

02:34:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003543

pamumulitika. At

02:34:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003544

hindi lang maliit na paglaki,

02:34:48Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003545

kundi pambihirang paglaki

02:34:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003546

na nagsimula

02:34:51Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003547

during the later

02:34:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003548

years of the Duterte administration

02:34:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003549

at lalo talagang

02:34:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003550

lumobo

02:35:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003551

ng gusto sa ilalim ng kasalukuyang

02:35:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003552

administrasyon. So, yun din po

02:35:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003553

ang concern natin. Una,

02:35:07Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003554

ang emphasis ay

02:35:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003555

ng so-called poverty alleviation

02:35:11Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003556

nakabatay sa ayuda.

02:35:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003557

Hindi sa pag-develop

02:35:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003558

ng

02:35:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003559

trabaho o

02:35:19Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003560

kabuhayan.

02:35:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003561

Concretely, binawasan ng malaki yung

02:35:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003562

sustainable livelihood program. Tapos ngayon,

02:35:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003563

papalaki yung

02:35:27Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003564

ayuda na nakabatay sa patronage,

02:35:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003565

medyayong mga kitay-kiti ka

02:35:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003566

o tinatawag na pork barrel.

02:35:35Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003567

Meron po bang

02:35:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003568

pagtingin?

02:35:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003569

Actually, naka-address ito as much

DSWD.

02:35:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003572

Mr. Chairman, again, much appreciated yung mga

02:35:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003573

punto na pinapoint out.

02:35:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003574

Meron lang ho kaming gustong ilatag

02:35:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003575

na mga post-2016

02:35:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003576

na mga

02:35:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003577

events, mga supervening events.

02:35:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003578

COVID happened

02:35:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003579

right at the tail end of

02:36:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003580

the Duterte administration and

02:36:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003581

all our poverty consultants

02:36:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003582

were telling us na it took,

02:36:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003583

it's still

02:36:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003584

happening up to now na yung

02:36:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003585

mga na-setback, unti-unti pa rin

02:36:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003586

lang lumalabas doon sa butas

02:36:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003587

na nahulog sila.

02:36:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003588

Ibig sabihin, yung epekto ng COVID

02:36:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003589

nararamdaman pa rin ho namin all the way

02:36:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003590

in fact to 2023, 2024

02:36:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003591

nung sumama ako sa departamento.

02:36:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003592

That's why if you can recall, hindi ho lahat

02:36:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003593

linabas natin sa four piece kasi

02:36:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003594

nga madi-disenfranchise yun.

02:36:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003595

Napaka maraming mahirap na tao.

02:36:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003596

Then came the more

02:36:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003597

shocks, itong pinagdaraanan natin

02:36:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003598

inflationary shock, and at the same

02:36:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003599

time, post, in this

02:36:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003600

administration, napaka

02:36:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003601

larami pong climate-induced

02:36:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003602

natural disasters, at natural

02:36:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003603

disasters like volcano eruptions.

02:36:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003604

In my time in the department alone, I've

02:36:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003605

seen three volcanoes,

02:36:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003606

multiple earthquakes, at katakot-takot

02:36:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003607

na volume ng ulan. And these

02:36:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003608

are yung mga shocks na hindi inaasahan.

02:36:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003609

Kaya nga ho, I have a presentation

02:37:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003610

later that will show na

02:37:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003611

minsan nag-o-augment pa dahil

02:37:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003612

kulang na kulang yung

02:37:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003613

ginagamit kasi rin namin sa disaster

02:37:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003614

response. Para makatulong

02:37:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003615

na huwag mahulog yung mga pamilya

02:37:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003616

pabalik ng kahirapan, or

02:37:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003617

manatili sila sa state nila.

02:37:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003618

There are unforeseen circumstances

02:37:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003619

that made this, the

02:37:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003620

red line na tinatawag yun, AX na block,

02:37:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003621

grow. Now, Mr. Chairman,

02:37:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003622

I would also want to point out na

02:37:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003623

yung AX naman,

02:37:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003624

may proseso siyang pinagdaraanan.

02:37:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003625

Anybody can refer,

02:37:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003626

pero dadaan pa rin ho yan sa

02:37:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003627

masusing pagsusuri at pag-aaral

02:37:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003628

ng ating mga social workers. We still say no.

02:37:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003629

Despite the different referrals from

02:37:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003630

different partners, from the private sector

02:37:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003631

or the public sector, the vetting

02:37:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003632

process is there. Yun ho yung safety

02:37:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003633

net namin doon. And lastly,

02:37:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003634

Mr. Chairman, I'm not PSA and I'm

02:37:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003635

not def-dev, but kaapon lang kasi very

02:37:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003636

fresh yung briefing namin.

02:37:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003637

Now, tama,

02:37:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003638

lumiip yung kahirapan,

02:37:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003639

driven by two things,

02:38:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003640

according to PSA. The income

02:38:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003641

per family increased

02:38:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003642

and at the same time,

02:38:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003643

the inflation went down.

02:38:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003644

So, there was a convolution of two events

02:38:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003645

na nakatulong sa pag-angat

02:38:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003646

ng numero and

02:38:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003647

the reasons they gave us

02:38:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003648

for the increase in household income

02:38:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003649

in all deciles, not just

02:38:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003650

the poor.

02:38:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003651

Increase in wages,

02:38:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003652

entrepreneurship,

02:38:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003653

transfers from international

02:38:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003654

sources, ito yung mga remittances,

02:38:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003655

at pensions.

02:38:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003656

Of the five main reasons,

02:38:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003657

four are not cash transfers

02:38:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003658

that are domestic.

02:38:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003659

So, ibig sabihin, hindi lang DSWD

02:38:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003660

na programa ang nag-angat,

02:38:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003661

kung hindi, pati na rin yung mga ibang

02:38:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003662

programa ng iba't-ibang mga departamento.

02:38:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003663

Pero again, there's a caution

02:38:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003664

na may nangyayaring energy emergency

02:38:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003665

and it might affect again the numbers.

02:38:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003666

Mr. Chair, alam kong

02:38:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003667

tapos ng oras,

02:38:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003668

inood ko lang na,

02:39:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003669

yung sinight na statistics ni SEC

02:39:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003670

sa kanilang meeting, bumaba pa yung

02:39:04Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003671

inflation. Mukhang hindi pa updated dyan

02:39:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003672

kasi tumaba na uli ang inflation.

02:39:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003673

2026, Mr. Chairman.

02:39:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003674

So, ibang-iba ang sitwasyon ngayon,

02:39:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003675

2026. And also, nandito si

02:39:14Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003676

Rep. Sara, nire-raise niya palagi ito,

02:39:17Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003677

contested yung

02:39:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003678

poverty threshold

02:39:21Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003679

figures ng

02:39:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003680

DepDev. Yung kanilang

02:39:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003681

64 pesos a day na food

02:39:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003682

threshold na walang

02:39:28Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003683

Pilipinong tumatanggap dito.

02:39:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003684

Okay, anyway, yun lang po,

02:39:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003685

Mr. Chair, round 2 na lang po tayo. Thank you.

02:39:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003686

Thank you, sir.

02:39:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003687

If I can just respond to that, we agree na yung threshold

02:39:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003688

has to be visited ahead of time.

02:39:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003689

Binanggit naman yan sa amin kahapon ng PSA

02:39:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003690

na it might be revisited

02:39:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003691

at nasa proseso na sila

02:39:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003692

ng pag-aaral ng threshold.

02:39:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003693

Naniniwala rin sila na dapat revisitahin na

02:39:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003694

lalong-lalo na nag-iba na ang mundo.

02:39:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003695

So, we agree. Pero I hope you understand,

02:39:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003696

Mr. Chairman,

02:39:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003697

kami, we operate with data that's given to us.

02:39:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003698

And given that the data managers are

02:40:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003699

telling us this, we have to calibrate our actions

02:40:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003700

based on what they give us. But,

02:40:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003701

rest assured, nagtatanong ho kami.

02:40:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003702

We also pose the pragmatic questions

02:40:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003703

rather than just accept the data

02:40:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003704

that they give us.

02:40:16Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003705

Thank you. Thank you, Congressman Tinio.

02:40:20Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003706

May we now recognize

02:40:22Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003707

Kong Chideng Alvarez.

02:40:28Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003708

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

02:40:30Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003709

If the, Mr. Chair, if the goal

02:40:32Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003710

of the national government is to

02:40:34Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003711

be felt or its presence felt

02:40:36Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003712

on the ground, DSWD

02:40:38Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003713

has done just that and continues

02:40:40Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003714

to do that, especially

02:40:42Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003715

for us in Negros Island region.

02:40:44Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003716

It really has remained true

02:40:46Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003717

to its mandate, especially

02:40:48Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003718

in times

02:40:50Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003719

not only during typhoons, but

02:40:52Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003720

specifically in Negros, such as

02:40:54Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003721

the continuing situation of

02:40:56Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003722

Mount Canlaon, its

02:40:58Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003723

eruption. At the same time,

02:41:00Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003724

quite recently, of course,

02:41:02Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003725

the infestation of RSSI

02:41:04Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003726

on our sugarcane farmers.

02:41:06Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003727

So, I'd like to thank the

02:41:08Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003728

department headed by Secretary Rex.

02:41:10Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003729

Thank you very much. And at the

02:41:12Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003730

same time, I'd like to thank Central

02:41:14Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003731

Office for its full support

02:41:15Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003732

to the full implementation of

02:41:18Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003733

the Negros Island region law,

02:41:20Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003734

which is, of course, crafted

02:41:21Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003735

by the last Congress, Republic Act

02:41:24Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003736

12,000. It's headed by

02:41:26Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003737

Regional Director

02:41:28Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003738

Arwin Razo. So, thank you very much,

02:41:30Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003739

Central Office, for its full support.

02:41:32Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003740

I've heard that quite recently

02:41:34Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003741

within this year, two

02:41:36Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003742

satellite offices were opened

02:41:37Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003743

in Negros Occidental,

02:41:40Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003744

because I believe the

02:41:42Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003745

regional office is in Dumaguete

02:41:44Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003746

City. So, thank you very much.

02:41:46Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003747

But, of course, I'd like to take

02:41:48Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003748

this opportunity, Mr. Chair, kasi

02:41:49Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003749

palagi nga natin naririnig na

02:41:51Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003750

DSWD is puros

02:41:54Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003751

ayuda lang.

02:41:56Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003752

Of course, we forgot,

02:41:58Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003753

actually, I'd like to quote the Secretary when he

02:42:00Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003754

said na, meron naman po ng development.

02:42:02Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003755

And those developmental

02:42:04Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003756

programs are one of my favorites,

02:42:06Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003757

such as, of course,

02:42:07Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003758

the Lawa at Binhi program.

02:42:10Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003759

Hindi pa ata na-highlight ni Secretary

02:42:12Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003760

during his sponsorship speech.

02:42:14Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003761

And at the same time,

02:42:16Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003762

of course,

02:42:17Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003763

the SLP.

02:42:20Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003764

Hindi na po ata

02:42:21Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003765

strange to the DSWD

02:42:24Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003766

family na I am one of the early

02:42:26Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

supporters of SLP program.

02:42:29Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003768

But, I'd

02:42:30Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003769

like to appreciate also the

02:42:32Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003770

support of my fellow colleagues

02:42:34Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003771

dahil nagpo-push sila ng

02:42:36Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003772

increase of the SLP program.

02:42:38Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003773

But, I'd like to know as well from the good

02:42:40Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003774

Secretary, what are the constraints

02:42:42Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003775

on the implementation of

02:42:44Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003776

SLP? And at the same time,

02:42:46Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003777

baka po possible din,

02:42:48Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003778

aside from increasing the funding

02:42:50Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003779

for SLP, is also to increase the

02:42:52Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003780

funding for its additional

02:42:54Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003781

personnel for their salaries.

02:42:56Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003782

At the same time, yung

02:42:57Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003783

cost for administration to

02:42:59Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003784

implement SLP.

02:43:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003785

Mr. Chairman, I'd like to thank the good

02:43:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003786

Congresswoman who has been an

02:43:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003787

staunch champion of

02:43:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003788

SLP, from crabs to

02:43:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003789

cookies to everything in the middle.

02:43:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003790

Mr. Chairman,

02:43:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003791

first things first, wala hong

02:43:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003792

SLP isn't an institutionalized

02:43:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003793

program. It's

02:43:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003794

a line item without legislation

02:43:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003795

to it. In fact, the legislation

02:43:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003796

has moved out of the

02:43:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003797

committee level, the Social Services Committee.

02:43:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003798

It's now in the appropriations. I think

02:43:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003799

that will help cure a lot

02:43:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003800

of the problems. Kasi

02:43:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003801

that being said, wala rin

02:43:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003802

plantilya si SLP,

02:43:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003803

di ba? Minimal.

02:43:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003804

Yeah, it's a minimal plantily, as you know.

02:43:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003805

Maraming nga kayong nakokomment

02:43:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003806

na they're overworked on their staff.

02:43:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003807

So, yun lang, maybe the first

02:43:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003808

step is to institutionalize this

02:43:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003809

social development program, the same way

02:43:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003810

we look at the other programs of the SWD.

02:43:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003811

If the AICS law is

02:43:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003812

near completion, sana

02:43:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003813

the SLP law goes to

02:44:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003814

the same fruition in this Congress.

02:44:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003815

Number two, obviously,

02:44:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003816

funding constraint. As

02:44:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003817

pointed out by Congressman Tino, maraming

02:44:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003818

gumagraduate ng four-piece

02:44:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003819

at ang crutch program sana nila will

02:44:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003820

be education or entrepreneurship.

02:44:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003821

But the entrepreneurship side, parang

02:44:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003822

ang bigat nung binibit-bit niya with

02:44:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003823

only 6 billion in its line item.

02:44:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003824

So, that is something to

02:44:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003825

look into. And

02:44:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003826

last but not the least,

02:44:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003827

the

02:44:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003828

information

02:44:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003829

campaign ng ano yung

02:44:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003830

SLP. I think the SWD, the

02:44:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003831

public knows us more for AICS

02:44:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003832

rather than SLP. Pero

02:44:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003833

I'm glad nga na unti-unti in this

02:44:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003834

hearing, a lot of the legislators

02:44:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003835

are finding the value in it. But the general

02:44:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003836

public has to understand that there's more to us

02:44:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003837

than social welfare.

02:44:50Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003838

So, is it safe to say, Mr.

02:44:52Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003839

Chair, that the good secretary

02:44:53Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003840

supports the

02:44:55Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003841

institutionalization of SLP as

02:44:58Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003842

a law?

02:44:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003842-split-2

A hundred and one percent, Mr. Chair.

02:45:00Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003843

Versus AICS?

02:45:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003843-split-2

Both.

02:45:03Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003843-split-3

So, speaking about AICS, Mr. Chair, what will be the effect

02:45:10Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003844

Mr. Chair, if we forego or reduce the budget for the protective services for individuals and families, Mr. Chair?

02:45:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003845

mr chairman displacement we have a slide that i've been wanting to show since this morning

02:45:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003846

If we can pull it out.

02:45:26Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003846-split-2

Because, Mr. Chair, I'd like to add so that Secretary can also include it in

02:45:33Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003847

his explanation, because unlike AICS, there are several studies which were pointed out recently,

02:45:41Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003848

earlier. There is a World Bank study, there is PIDS, but can you also cite if there is also

02:45:47Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003849

a similar study as to the effect of AICS? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

02:45:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003849-split-2

Number one, Mr. Chairman, the fear natin, this is a

02:45:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003851

tabular format. In 2025, the allotment was 44 billion, pero nakita niyo may other releases pa

02:46:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003852

from unprogrammed na 14 billion. We were augmented actually kasi kinapos tayo

02:46:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003853

because, tulad na sinabi ko, there are unforeseen events like volcano eruptions, RSSI, these type of things

02:46:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003854

na ginagamit namin ang 4Ps. Ah, sorry, ang AICS. So in that year alone, we were able to serve 9 million,

02:46:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003855

9.4 million beneficiaries

02:46:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003856

Mga may mukha, mga pangalan 'to. These are actual beneficiaries. In 2026, when Congress heeded our call last year,

02:46:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003857

you gave us 63.4 billion, of which 70% has already been obligated and we're in the process

02:46:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003858

of using that. Ang naging target natin is 8.7 million Filipino individuals who are coming to us day in and day out

02:46:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003859

out in our numerous offices. Now if we stick to the NEP level of 33 billion,

02:46:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003860

ang projected na service gap, meaning yung tatanggihan natin dahil wala na tayong pera,

02:46:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003861

is 4,085,631. And these are not mere numbers; these are real people

02:47:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003862

in your congressional districts, in your cities, na sasabihin namin, pasensya na po, lumiit po kasi yung pondo. So we are pleading

02:47:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003863

with Congress and later on in the Senate na i-restore ho to 63 billion yung pondo. Now I think there's

02:47:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003864

a next slide. May next slide to?

02:47:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003865

Now,

02:47:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003866

I want to point out that when the energy emergency broke out this year,

02:47:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003867

that nobody saw, this is also the funding allocation for the uplift assistance.

02:47:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003868

The close to 2 million drivers nationwide,

02:47:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003869

of the jeep, tricycle, TNVS, service delivery,

02:47:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003870

all of those were received by 5,000 because we used the AICS.

02:47:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003871

The AICS sort of serves as a standby fund for unforeseen events.

02:47:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003872

If that wasn't there, if you didn't raise it to 66 billion, 63 billion last year,

02:47:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003873

we would have been finished by the summer and we wouldn't have reached our allocation

02:48:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003874

for the crises that we are facing now.

02:48:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003875

So again, let me just put on record that we are asking Congress,

02:48:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003876

as well as the Senate later on,

02:48:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003877

to reinstate the budget of AICS to its current levels of 63.4 billion pesos.

02:48:20Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003878

Thank you.

02:48:24Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003879

Mr. Chair, so to end, thank you very much once again to DSWD.

02:48:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003880

For Congresswoman or more, 63 billion or more.

02:48:33Source

Deputy Speaker Mercedes K. Alvarez

asr-003881

We fully support that, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

02:48:38Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003882

Thank you, Kong Chia-Ding. Thank you, Secretary.

02:48:47Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-003883

We now recognize Representative Bong Soon-Tai.

02:48:53Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003884

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

02:48:56Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003885

Secretary, magandang tanghali po.

02:49:00Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003886

Siyempre sa, to the DSWD family.

02:49:04Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003887

Well, una sa lahat.

02:49:07Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003888

Well, as we all know,

02:49:10Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003889

disaster has struck our country in numerous times.

02:49:13Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003890

Madaming, well, nabanggit ni Sec pag erap ng bulkan.

02:49:19Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003891

Merong mga sunog na nagganap, merong mga typhoon, which we were hit.

02:49:26Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003892

So kaya ako lang nabanggit to, una, nais kong magpasalamat sa DSWD, as we all know.

02:49:32Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003893

Government should be there when it's needed.

02:49:36Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003894

On time and available at yung pagtulong.

02:49:40Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003895

Pagdating dun sa disaster, masasabi ko na talagang on time.

02:49:45Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003896

Nasaksihan ko yan nung nagkabagyo sa aking distrito.

02:49:50Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003897

Ready naman yung food boxes ng DSWD.

02:49:54Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003898

It was readily available.

02:49:56Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003899

Andon yung mga sleeping kits, tsaka yung ready to eat.

02:50:03Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003900

Na pagkain, which was readily available.

02:50:08Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003901

I believe it was like that in the whole of Metro Manila

02:50:12Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003902

because andito yung warehouses ng DSWD.

02:50:17Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003903

Ang tanong ko lang, sa probinsya po kaya, I believe that would be a problem.

02:50:21Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003904

Yung logistics and warehouse, paano yung response ng DSWD sa mga ibang lugar naman?

02:50:28Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003905

Na hindi readily accessible itong mga warehouse at saka yung mga trucking requirements.

02:50:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003906

Mr. Chairman, that's a very good question.

02:50:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003907

Under this administration, binaguhu talaga yung paradigm on disaster response.

02:50:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003908

Hindi tayo naghahanda o nag-repack pag nandyan na yung sakuna.

02:50:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003909

Rather, for the first time in our country's history, we now operate close to 1,040 warehouses nationwide.

02:50:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003910

And these are different sizes warehouse.

02:50:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003911

Merong nasa syudad that we call hubs.

02:50:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003912

Merong kami mid-size hubs rin na nasa mga secondary cities.

02:51:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003913

And we have last mile warehouses.

02:51:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003914

As far as northern Palawan, in fact, alam niyo ni Congresswoman Salvame, or the GIDA areas.

02:51:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003915

And the second paradigm change is, tulad na sinabi ko, 365 days a year, we repack nationwide.

02:51:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003916

We have two repacking centers.

02:51:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003917

We're building the third one now in Mindanao because of Congress's approval of a multi-year allocation for it.

02:51:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003918

So meaning, the goods are being drawn from bigger packaging centers in the three island groups.

02:51:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003919

So meaning, naka-omnipresent, naka-palat na huyan.

02:51:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003920

Nung sumali kami sa departamento nung 2022, before my time, Secretary Erwin was already building on it.

02:51:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003921

After six months, we carried on his mission.

02:51:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003922

In fact, nung kaming dalawa, ang dinatan natin dyan na national stockpile ng food packs ay nasa mga 200,000 lang.

02:51:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003923

At the height, before this sunod-sunod na bagyo, we ran 5.2 million family food packs nationwide.

02:51:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003924

Not just in Metro Manila, but all over the country.

02:51:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003925

So ganyan karami yung national stockpile.

02:52:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003926

And for this month alone, we've already released 3.6 million food packs nationwide.

02:52:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003927

Kasi tulad nyo na sabi ko, may stockpile tayo.

02:52:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003928

Yet the remaining stockpile now still stands at 3.2.

02:52:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003929

Meaning, we're running our factories beyond its capacity na 22,000.

02:52:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003930

We're reproducing, responding, and stockpiling all at the same time.

02:52:23Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003931

Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary.

02:52:25Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003932

Well, kagaya ng sinabi ko, pagdating dyan talagang nararamdaman.

02:52:31Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003933

Kikita.

02:52:32Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003934

Now, the protective social welfare budget for the SWD was decreased from 131.6 billion in 2026.

02:52:41Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003935

Bumaba ito to 101.4 billion.

02:52:47Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003936

What component program was affected by this?

02:52:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003937

Mr. Chairman, the biggest is the assistance to individuals in crisis situation.

asr-003938

33 billion yung nawala ho doon.

02:52:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003939

30 billion.

02:53:01Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003940

Okay, 30 billion yung nawala.

02:53:03Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003941

Pero actually, nadagdag yan.

02:53:04Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003942

Kasi if you remember, I think it was noong 2025, we dinifund natin yung ACAP.

02:53:12Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003943

Pero inabsorbed ng AICS yung beneficiary ng ACAP.

02:53:17Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003944

But have we fixed the problems noong pag-absorb ng AICS sa ACAP program?

02:53:28Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003945

Dahil there were some co-affirming.

02:53:30Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003946

They identified.

02:53:31Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003947

They identified na yung aid distribution, nagkakaroon tayo ng duplication.

02:53:39Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003948

May mga beneficiaries, nakakuha na ng AICS, nakatanggap pa ulit ng ACAP.

02:53:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003949

Mr. Chairman, that has been addressed.

02:53:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003950

We've already explained that fully to COA.

02:53:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003951

And the fiscal targets naman, if you're going to talk about the fiscal targets,

02:53:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003952

we've met the fiscal targets noong kinonsolidate lahat sa AICS for last year.

02:53:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003953

As you pointed out, as the good congressman pointed out,

02:54:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003954

na inaugment yung AICS.

02:54:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003955

So yun yung pinakamalaki na nawala this year.

02:54:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003956

30 billion.

02:54:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003957

Yung inintroduce na amendment ng congress, yun yung nawala rin.

02:54:12Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003958

Okay, but what controls have we now placed?

02:54:15Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003959

Paano nagiging distribution ngayon natin ng AICS?

02:54:19Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003960

So per region, I think you posted it, but on a per district level, sino yung nagiging beneficiary?

02:54:25Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003961

Who gets the biggest chunk of this AICS?

02:54:28Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003962

How do we distribute?

02:54:29Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003963

Or allocate this fund?

02:54:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003964

Mr. Chairman, it's always followed the same principle.

02:54:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003965

It's on a need base and assessed by the social worker.

02:54:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003966

We get referrals every day from everywhere.

02:54:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003967

And it's really up to the frontline social services, the social workers,

02:54:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003968

to see if we were to say yes or no to a particular request.

02:54:47Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003969

So would it be safe to say that ngayon mas regulated na natin, hindi na po magagaya?

02:54:52Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003970

For example, as a matter of fact, doon po sa distrito ko, during the previous congress,

02:54:57Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003971

ang AICS pinang babayad po sa, pinang pe-payout yan sa mga nagpupunta doon sa mga pre-election rally, campaign.

02:55:06Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003972

In fact, naging leaflets pa nga po yan eh. Pre-filled up na yung form.

02:55:13Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003973

Nakalagay na lang yung pangalan ng beneficiary at yung date. Tapos binabahay-bahay.

02:55:18Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003974

So have we corrected that? Dahil yung AICS is a stopgap for individuals na talagang kailangan ng tulong.

02:55:25Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003975

And it should not be used that way. Dahil kawawa naman yung mga taong kailangan talagang matulungan na nangangailangan ng tulong.

02:55:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003976

Mr. Chairman, we totally agree. And we have tightened the implementing guidelines.

02:55:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003977

May mga anti-EPAL, may mga CLARO na you can't use it for your own interest or your political gains.

02:55:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003978

It's now enshrined both in the GAAA and at the same time our guidelines.

02:55:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003979

And we take these things seriously. Kakasuhan yung mga empleyado.

02:55:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-003980

Meron rin hong ganung provision sa loob ng aming administrative codes in the department.

02:55:59Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003981

Okay. Mr. Chairsec, as pinakita kanina ni Congressman Tino yung graph,

02:56:08Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003982

and I was listening to your answer and very happy to hear that ngayon ang ginagawa natin.

02:56:15Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003983

Because yung support for SLTs and developmental programs talagang napaka-importante.

02:56:22Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003984

Ang ayaw natin is masanay talaga yung mga tao sa dole-outs.

02:56:25Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003985

We want the aid coming from the government to really affect and help the families.

02:56:34Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003986

While I understand talagang hindi naman pwedeng tanggalin because there are some immediate and emergency needs and assistance na kailangan ibigay at makuha ng mga tao.

02:56:45Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003987

But slowly, we also have to integrate. Ngayon nawala na yung ACAP.

02:56:51Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003988

Sinama natin sa IX yung 4Ps. I'm talking about yung 4Ps. Sana mas mapalakas natin yung 4Ps.

02:56:57Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003989

Dahil yung 4Ps, ang beneficiaryo ng mga 4Ps, kailangan sumunod ka sa RA 11310.

02:57:06Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003990

There are strict guidelines, components to this, regulations that has to be followed.

02:57:12Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003991

And makikita mo may result because it's not really a dole-out for them.

02:57:17Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003992

It encourages and incentivizes families who are benefitting.

02:57:21Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003993

So sana ito mapalaki. As correctly pointed out, yung ating sustainable livelihood program, lumeit yung budget.

02:57:29Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003994

Pero gusto nga natin palakasin yung mga ganitong programa eh.

02:57:33Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003995

So maybe we should put some of the, kung maglalagay ang Congress ng budget, baka dapat dito ilagay instead of additional IX na naman.

02:57:45Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003996

Dahil ang gusto natin, slowly.

02:57:49Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003997

I think it was pointed out.

02:57:52Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003998

Nung nagsimula yung IX program nung panahon ng pandemia, because during the lockout, yung mga extreme lockdowns natin, talaga kahit yung mga gusto magtrabaho, hindi makapagtrabaho.

02:58:06Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-003999

After a while, nung natapos yung pandemic, hindi nawala yung programa. In fact, mas lumaki pa ito.

02:58:13Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004000

But ang ayaw natin sana mangyari is mapag-iwanan yung mga...

02:58:17Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004001

...yung mga...

02:58:19Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004002

...developmental programs which would really lift the family from poverty or help them in a way.

02:58:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004003

Mr. Chairman, we agree.

02:58:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004004

The points are well taken.

02:58:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004005

Just as a quick rundown.

02:58:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004006

Tama ko kayo that we've been tightening the four-piece, strengthening it.

02:58:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004007

In fact, the World Bank last study said nga that it's contributed directly to 2.2 reduction in poverty.

02:58:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004008

That's a sign that our implementation has been tightened.

02:58:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004009

But I also want to point out na...

02:58:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004010

Ninabanggit ko ito kanina kay Congressman Tino.

02:58:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004011

Yesterday's PSA briefing was quite revealing.

02:58:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004012

Sabi nila na the contributors or the drivers to poverty reduction, one, reduce inflation pre-2026, but also the growth in household income.

02:59:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004013

There were five main reasons to it.

02:59:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004014

One was yung wages tumaas.

02:59:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004015

Pangalawa, entrepreneurship.

02:59:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004016

So nandun na huhulog yung mga SLP natin.

02:59:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004017

Ibig sabi nakakatulong sila.

02:59:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004018

And not just us.

02:59:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004019

From the small business corporation of DTI, the whole government of approach na DAR, DA, has countryside livelihood.

02:59:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004020

Lahat yun na pagsasama-sama to entrepreneurship output.

02:59:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004021

Third lamang, or isa sa pang lima, yung conditional cash transfer na local, which is four-piece.

02:59:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004022

So meaning, and other transfers, meaning the targeting is working.

02:59:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004023

Nakakontribute siya pero hindi natin nga gusto yun.

02:59:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004024

And the other two is foreign remittances and pension.

02:59:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004025

So kung lima yan, sabay ho, nandun yung entrepreneurship and nandun yung cash transfer.

02:59:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004026

And like I agree with you, na dapat we have to wean off the cash transfer gradually while strengthening entrepreneurship.

03:00:01Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004027

Okay. And lastly, yung tanong ko lang sa 4Peace. Sir, ilan yung current beneficiary natin ng 4Peace? Ilan yung bagong enrolled sa 4Peace programs? At ilan naman yung mga graduate na sa 4Peace programs?

03:00:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004028

For the record, nung nagsimula ho ang Marcos administration, 4.4 million ho yan. Laging 4.4. So nagtanong ho, since 2014. So since 2014 till 2022, ang napag-graduate lamang po ay 50,000.

03:00:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004029

We're not saying na walang umangatang buhay doon, but they weren't taking the exit mechanism seriously. But under the Marcos Jr. administration, simula ni Sen. Erwin, ngayon naman tinuloy namin, talagang pinag-igtingin natin yung case management.

03:00:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004030

Para yung mga dapat lumabas, lumalabas na. So from 2022 till now, 1.7 million families have already exited. Now, ang natinahong sa database natin, from minus that number, is at around 3 million.

03:01:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004031

Of which, if we are to peg it at the current poverty incidence, dapat 3.5 million na lang sila. Hindi nababalik sa 4.4. So that means by October, we're going to enroll an additional 500,000.

03:01:13Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004032

Okay. So, as I mentioned earlier,

03:01:16Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004033

Sec. Rec., maraming maraming salamat sa agaran at available na pagtulong doon sa mga calamity-stricken areas doon sa aking lugar. Ito, nasaksihan ko. I'm sure it also happens in other areas, but doon sa distrito ko, meron mga sunog na nangyari nito mga nakaraang buwan at syempre yung pagbabaha.

03:01:39Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004034

And I was witness that this, the assistance, kagaya nga ng sleeping care,

03:01:46Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004035

yung mga food boxes were readily available at walang nahalong politika. Napunta sa tao yung tulong na kinakailangan nila. Maraming salamat.

03:01:58Source

Rep. Jesus "Bong" C. Suntay

asr-004036

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

03:01:59Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004038

Past 12, may we know the pleasure of the Secretary.

03:02:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004039

We can keep on continuing, Mr. Chairman, if that is the wish of the Committee.

03:02:11Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004040

We'll do it over working lunch or what?

03:02:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004041

Working lunch is fine, Mr. Chairman. I know there are a lot of members who want to...

03:02:16Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004042

So if you need a break, Secretary...

03:02:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004043

I will call a break. We will respect whatever the decision of the Committee is.

03:02:22Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004044

We can have a short break, if you wish.

03:02:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004045

Mr. Chairman, again, if I wish, pwede naman tayo, we can go the distance.

03:02:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004046

Pwede tuloy-tuloy.

03:02:33Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004047

Okay. So we'll do it.

03:02:37Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004048

Thank you.

03:02:37Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004049

So we'll just have a working lunch for today.

03:02:44Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004050

Before we proceed, may I recognize our other members?

03:02:48Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004051

Members who came in.

03:02:49Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004052

asr-004053

We have Cong. Christine Sison Mian.

03:03:06Source

asr-004056

03:03:19Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004058

We now recognize Representative Mila Magsaysay.

03:03:26Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004059

Ma'am Mila.

03:03:31Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004060

Mr. Secretary,

03:03:34Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004061

just for clarification po,

03:03:38Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004062

gusto kong marinig mismo sa inyo,

03:03:40Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004063

saan po ba dapat under ang NCSC?

03:03:45Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004064

Sa Office of the President po ba?

03:03:47Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004065

O sa DSWD?

03:03:48Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004066

Kasi naguguluhan pong mga senior citizens.

03:03:50Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004067

At palaging nagtatanong sa akin kung saan talaga under ang senior citizen, ang NCSC.

03:03:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004068

Mr. Chairman, masalimuot ho yung sagot.

03:04:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004069

I'll try to make it as concise as possible.

03:04:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004070

We will submit to the good committee to be furnished to the good congresswoman

03:04:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004071

yung legal query ng department sa OP.

03:04:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004072

Kung saan sinabi nila, so to speak, na status quo muna po.

03:04:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004073

Meaning we supervise them, but we should not,

03:04:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004074

we should not,

03:04:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004075

we should not directly meddle at this point in time because of the legislation passed.

03:04:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004076

Pero naka-footnote rin doon that the law on optimization has taken into effect

03:04:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004077

and meron na rin hong IRR ng optimization.

03:04:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004078

So meaning nothing stops the department from submitting an optimization plan

03:04:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004079

up until na-approve yung optimization plan

03:04:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004080

tsaka lang namin makukuha yung full control and authority over NCSC.

03:04:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004081

So for now, it's status quo na independent ho sila sa amin.

03:04:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004082

They are merely coordinating with us.

03:04:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004083

For programs and for budget purposes.

03:04:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004084

For budget purposes also.

03:04:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004085

For budget purposes, nakasama ho sila sa araw pero ng talakay,

03:04:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004086

pero nakahiwalay ho naman silang line item.

03:05:02Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004087

Kasi sa batas po kasi, under ng Office of the President, ang NCSC.

03:05:11Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004088

So coordination lang po sa DSWD.

03:05:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004089

Coordination lamang po.

03:05:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004090

That's been very clear by the legal opinion.

03:05:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004091

The opinion of the Office of the President when we did the query like yourself.

03:05:24Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004092

Yes po. Kasi sa sulat po kasi ni Executive Secretary Ralph Recto,

03:05:29Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004093

lateral relationship, parang coordination lang po ng programs and parties.

03:05:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004094

Correct. But if you look at that same letter, meron ho yung caveat on optimization.

03:05:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004095

So lumabas na ho recently yung IRR ng optimization.

03:05:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004096

So we did submit our optimization plan that will include NCSC.

03:05:45Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004097

Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

03:05:50Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004098

And at least na-klaro po kung ano po ang ano ng NCSC.

03:05:55Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004099

And number two po, marami po akong reklamong natanggap na sobrang bagal at tagal po

03:06:02Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004100

ng accreditation process ng mga home care at elderly facilities.

03:06:08Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004101

Ano po kaya ang nagiging problema?

03:06:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004102

I can tell you point blank that we've streamlined it already.

03:06:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004103

Kami na ho siguro may pinaka maikling timetable kapag ka kompleto at pumapasok.

03:06:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004104

Pumapasa. Minsan ho kasi nagre-reklamo pero I can show you if you can give us the names

03:06:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004105

na minsan hindi ho pumapasa and we have to be very careful.

03:06:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004106

Hindi ho pwedeng i-insist na gusto nila, gusto nila because kami naman ho ang madadali.

03:06:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004107

Kung may pinalusot kaming accreditation na hindi pumapasa sa standards prescribed by the department.

03:06:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004108

Alam niyo ho, Mr. Chairman, it used to take almost six months to one year

03:06:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004109

to get a SWADA accredited, registered license and accredited.

03:06:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004110

Kami, as fast as two months time.

03:06:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004111

Tapos?

03:06:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004112

Yes.

03:06:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004113

As long as you pass the standards.

03:06:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004114

Kaya lang minsan ho kasi they will insist na pasado sila but our recommendation is hindi sila pasado.

03:06:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004115

So doon ho talaga tumatagal but we do provide technical assistance.

03:07:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004116

If susundan naman nila yung mga recommendation namin, mapapabilis at makukuha nila yung kanilang accreditation.

03:07:07Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004117

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

03:07:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004118

And digital rin ho ang aming application.

03:07:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004119

Streamlined, meaning when you register, sabay na ho ang license to operate.

03:07:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004120

So two weeks, ay two months lang.

03:07:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004121

Kung pumapasa po.

03:07:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004122

And it's all done online.

03:07:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004123

Hindi na humano-mano na dinadaanan sa office yung mga requirements.

03:07:25Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004124

Thank you.

03:07:26Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004125

Number three, Secretary, under our existing laws po, mayroon pong 1% budget allocation for senior citizens at PWDs

03:07:37Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004126

ang bawat ahensya ng National Government Agency.

03:07:41Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004127

Mayroon po bang monitoring mechanism ang DSWD kung paano po ito nagagamit?

03:07:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004128

Madam Chair,

03:07:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004129

We signed a joint memo circular with DBM on its implementation.

03:07:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004130

And I believe it's DBM through the submissions ng mga ahensya na nagmumonitor ng 1% compliance.

03:08:00Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004131

So, nagpapakinabangan naman po ng mga senior citizens.

03:08:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004132

And slash PWD.

03:08:08Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004133

Thank you.

03:08:10Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004134

And number four po, napakarami pong mga reklamo hanggang ngayon

03:08:15Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004135

ang mga mahal nating senior citizens tungkol sa payout ng social payout.

03:08:20Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004136

Pension para sa mga indigent.

03:08:22Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004137

Ano na po ba ang nangyari?

03:08:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004138

Mr. Chair, yan yung kaninang pinaliliwanag ko kay Congressman Ordanez

03:08:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004139

na unfortunately, the most of the grievances is inclusion.

03:08:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004140

So, minsan nahihirapan ho kami dahil nga una, kalahati lang naman ho ang funded nung mandate.

03:08:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004141

Hindi naman ho buo.

03:08:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004142

Ibig sabihin, sa dami ho na kailangan i-accommodate, kalahati lang ho lagi taon-taon ang naibibigay sa amin.

03:08:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004143

Pangalawa, siyempre ho minsan lack of information,

03:08:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004144

nasa-strike off sila sa listahan dahil nga meron silang SSS, GSIS, or other types of pension

03:08:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004145

na hindi nila naunawaan na pag may ganun ka na kasi maliit lang naman, feeling nila entitled sila

03:09:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004146

and we personally agree, naaalis sila sa listahan.

03:09:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004147

And third, yung problema nga ho sa CBMS tulad na nabanggit namin kanina,

03:09:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004148

which we've remedied already because nga ngayon, meron ng on-demand purpose

03:09:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004149

meaning pag binigay sa amin ng LGN listahan, magka-query na lang kami, maaring wala ka sa CBMS

03:09:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004150

pero pag nasa birth registry ka at wala ka naman sa death registry at ikaw ay matanda na, kasama ka ho kagad.

03:09:26Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004151

Okay po, kasi yun nga po, yung mga nagbawas kayo, kasi dapat lang humagbawas kayo

03:09:31Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004152

kasi may mga nagpe-pension, may mga medyo mayaman na tumatanggap, no?

03:09:36Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004153

Pero ano pong nangyari, ano pong ba ang gagawin natin dun sa mga nabawas?

03:09:41Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004154

Hindi ho ba pwedeng doon din iibalik yung mga nabawas?

03:09:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004155

Again,

03:09:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004156

Again, we have to be, we have to look at the age kasi yung bagong guidelines namin, age muna.

03:09:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004157

I think you would agree na unahin natin yung pinakamatatanda.

03:09:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004158

So yung mga na-free up na slot, hinahanap namin sa CBMS yung 90 pababa

03:10:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004159

and then inuunti-unti namin malagay sila sa listahan.

03:10:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004160

So it's not geographic in short, it's age.

03:10:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004161

So titignan namin yung CBMS at yung mga waitlist, unahin natin yung mga pinakamatatanda

03:10:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004162

and I think that's the most equitable.

03:10:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004163

At this point in time, nakalahati lang yung funded nung mandate.

03:10:22Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004164

Siguro mas maganda na ho, siguro universal social pension.

03:10:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004165

And we totally agree 101%.

03:10:29Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004166

Ang mga seniors, lahat na po sila tatanggap na po.

03:10:33Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004167

So, paano po ba karami ang ma-existing at operational senior citizens

03:10:39Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004168

o elderly facilities natin nationwide?

03:10:42Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004169

Paano po ang budget allocation determination ng mga DSW-run elderly facilities sa buong bansa?

03:10:49Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004170

Matagal po na pong binabanggit, kailangan natin ng mas maraming mga residential homes

03:10:57Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004171

and facilities for senior citizens who are abandoned, homeless, and neglected.

03:11:03Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004172

Ano po ang naging hakbang na ninyo dito?

03:11:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004173

We have four nationwide and admittedly kulang po ito.

03:11:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004174

And that's why we're asking for more budget.

03:11:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004175

Pero tulad din ang paliwanag ko kanina, we are now taking, based on last year's budget,

03:11:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004176

we are now taking a PPP approach to it.

03:11:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004177

Meaning?

03:11:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004178

Meron na kaming cost of care provision.

03:11:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004179

Kung saan, kung meron namang private na pwede natin doon i-refer,

03:11:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004180

DSWD ho magbabayad ng cost of care.

03:11:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004181

Kasi mas mabilis, mas effective yung pagtatayo ng gano'n.

03:11:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004182

We're almost done with the guidelines.

03:11:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004183

We're just waiting for the final go signal from the DBM.

03:11:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004184

Yeah.

03:11:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004185

Four for the nationally-run residential care facility.

03:11:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004186

Three for the LG-run residential care facility.

03:11:57Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004187

Seven na po lahat.

03:11:58Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004188

So, sana po matagdagan natin.

03:12:00Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004189

Kasi ang dami po tayong abandoned and homeless senior citizens.

03:12:04Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004190

And we agree.

03:12:06Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004191

Thank you po.

03:12:07Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004192

At nito pong mga nakaraang mga linggo, sunod-sunod po ang mga pagulan at pagbaha

03:12:15Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004193

dahil sa habagat.

03:12:17Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004194

Nasusunod po ba sa distribution ng mga relief goods or family food packs

03:12:22Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004195

na priority ang mga senior citizens?

03:12:25Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004196

Tila hindi po ito nangyayari, Secretary.

03:12:27Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004197

Parang hindi po talagang mahal ng DSWD ang mga senior citizens.

03:12:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004198

Mahal na mahal namin ang mga senior citizens, lalo na po kayo.

03:12:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004199

Mr. Chairman, we have to remember.

03:12:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004200

Sa batas sa Local Government Code, ang first responder po talaga ang mga local government units.

03:12:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004201

Ang ginagawa lamang ng DSWD is to augment kasi kulang ang kapasidad ng mga LGU.

03:12:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004202

We're proud to say that this tong mga habagat, 3.6 million na family food packs ang lumabas in a span of four months.

03:13:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004203

Ibinabagsak po natin yun sa mga local government units for them to do the last mile distribution.

03:13:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004204

Dahil wala naman ho kaming sapat na tao to do that or know-how ng terrain.

03:13:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004205

Now, we constantly remind our local social welfare offices to prioritize vulnerable sectors.

03:13:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004206

Seniors, people with disability, indigenous people, pregnant and lactating women.

03:13:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004207

Pati sa camp management kung saan nagaganap ang pinakamarami na aktividad during an evacuation,

03:13:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004208

kine-remind din ho namin sila sa protocols.

03:13:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004209

Kasi, we set the standards, they execute it, we regulate them.

03:13:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004210

Pero sa 3.6 million na sana all na ho yun.

03:13:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004211

So, we would assume na dapat nabigyan ho ng mga local government units yung kanila mga senior.

03:13:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004212

And alam ko mahal na mahal ng mga local government units ang kanila mga senior citizens.

03:13:48Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004213

Yes, because seniors are the most vulnerable sectors when it comes to calamity.

03:13:52Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004214

So, for the record, Mr. Chair, I just want to put this in the record that I would like to...

03:14:00Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004215

to file a complaint against Region 1 Director Angela Gopela for her arrogance and her...

03:14:11Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004216

and doing injustice to the senior citizens.

03:14:14Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004217

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

03:14:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004218

Mr. Chairman, we will accept and we will commission the necessary fact-finding

03:14:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004219

and go through our administrative process and we will report back to the committee.

03:14:24Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004220

Thank you. She doesn't deserve that position.

03:14:28Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004221

Thank you. Thank you, Kuwang Mila.

03:14:30Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004222

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's all.

03:14:36Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004223

Maybe, can we take up already the budget of the NCOC or later?

03:14:41Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004224

Maybe later. I think it's already incorporated.

03:14:45Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-004225

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

03:15:07Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004226

We now recognize Cong. Elijah San Fernando. Is he around? No. So, Representative Edgar Erice...

03:15:27Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004227

Is he around? Representative Iris Montes.

03:15:35Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004227-split-2

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um...

03:15:38Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004228

Magandang tanghali po, Secretary Rex, and to the whole DSWD family. Most of my questions

03:15:46Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004229

have been previously asked and have been adequately answered by the secretary so i just have

03:15:52Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004230

one simple question but before um i i asked that um i was just requested by our colleague

03:16:00Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004231

Congresswoman Johanne Monich Bautista to ask about her concern

03:16:05Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004232

Tungkol po ito, Secretary, sa QRF.

03:16:09Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004233

Sa presentation po kasi mapapansin natin,

03:16:12Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004234

like for 2025,

03:16:14Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004235

yung regular niyo po

03:16:16Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004236

is 1.25 billion. Tapos nagkaroon po ng replenishment ng 7.8. Sa 2026, 3 billion po, nagkaroon ng replenishment na 9.6. Ang concern lang po ng ating colleague ay for 2027, 1.25 lang daw po. Hindi po ba daw kukulangin? Assured po daw tayo ba na kahit maliit ito ay magre-replenish ulit?

03:16:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004237

Mr. Chairman, it's a very good question. Nagagalak ho kami sa tanong na 'yan. Actually, may assurance naman ho na may pondo kasi replenishable. Pero siyempre sa panahon ng sakuna dapat mabilis ho kami, maagap. So nakikiusap ho kami, sumulat rin kami sa committee na sana ma-restore back to its 3 billion level. At dati napagbigyan naman ho kami para mas mabilis kami na nakaka-responde, lalo na sabay-sabay ho yung sakuna. It's no longer contained in one area; it's multi-region.

03:17:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004238

So sana ho mabalik ho talaga kami.

03:17:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004239

We are earnestly asking the committee to consider because ho

03:17:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004240

maaapektuhan yung turnaround time namin sa pag-responde, pag-procure, paglatag ng emergency cash transfer.

03:17:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004241

And I want to point out, para lang sa kaalaman ng lahat, wala namang dagdag na cost sa gobyerno dahil nandun lang siya nakalagak sa QRF ng national.

03:17:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004242

So, sana lang lakihan yung seed capital ng QRF namin para mas mabilis kaming makaresponde.

03:17:37Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004243

Thank you, Secretary. This representation shares your sentiments and I do support that we restore your 2026 QRF levels.

03:17:49Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004244

Moving on to my question, a simple question, Mr. Chair.

03:17:57Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004245

The DSWD has repeatedly faced challenges in ensuring timely and targeted delivery of social protection programs.

03:18:07Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004246

Yan po ay nasabi nyo na, nabanggit nyo na during the lead committee hearings at kanina po, parang nire-iterate po ninyo uli.

03:18:17Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004247

Dahil po, meron tayong fragmented and disconnected data system.

03:18:24Source

So, wala po tayong real-time na accurate na data.

03:18:30Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004249

So, medyo nahihirapan po tayo to roll out sa part po ninyo yung mga social protection programs.

03:18:37Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004250

Ano po?

03:18:37Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004251

That is why this representation, ang kababaihan kabalikatan para sa kapakanan at kaunlaran ng bayan, actively participated during the lead committee hearings.

03:18:50Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004252

Out of that, the 4K has filed at least six or seven interventions, one of which is House Bill 9084.

03:19:00Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004253

It calls for the establishment of a national and integrated registry system.

03:19:07Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004254

That is interoperable to address this gap.

03:19:11Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004255

So, the system establishes the foundational mechanism for efficient, transparent, and responsive governance.

03:19:17Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004256

It also proposes a system that builds on existing national initiatives, such as the Philippine identification system and social registries, transforming them into a unified data ecosystem that supports inclusive growth and digital transformation.

03:19:37Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004257

So, it also addresses the long-standing fragmentation of government data systems, which limit efficiency and effectiveness of public service delivery.

03:19:48Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004258

But beyond Mr. Secretary, a single registry, what the country truly needs is an integrated yet interoperable system that connects administrative registries like LGU household records, barangay level data,

03:20:05Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004259

data, sa civil registration and identification systems naman po, nakapaloob sana doon yung

03:20:12Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004260

PhilSys, birth and death records, and national ID.

03:20:17Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004261

Dapat meron din po sigurong component na sectoral and program-based registries.

03:20:23Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004262

Nandoon po yung 4Ps, yung senior citizen, yung PWDs, meron pong disaster response list,

03:20:30Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004263

education, and labor database.

03:20:32Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004264

Sa social registry naman po, dapat meron mga poverty targeting mechanism,

03:20:38Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004265

household vulnerability mapping, meron din pong PhilHealth, GSIS, SSS, DepEd, DOLE, and LGU databases.

03:20:48Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004266

So, only by linking the systems can we ensure real-time, accurate, and inclusive targeting of beneficiaries,

03:20:56Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004267

while also, kapaloob din po doon sa bill, pag-safeguard ng data privacy and accountability.

03:21:02Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004268

So, ang simpleng tanong ko lamang po, Mr. Secretary, does the department view this integration as a step towards the right direction?

03:21:13Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004269

And will the Secretary support this reform?

03:21:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004270

Mr. Chairman, in fact, we are doing a small pilot inside the department, a social registry that integrates our own databases

03:21:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004271

from 4Ps, Walang Gutong, the program databases.

03:21:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004272

But it would be nice if it's scaled up to a national level.

03:21:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004273

And we're fully supportive.

03:21:33Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004274

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair.

03:21:37Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004275

I will furnish you po a copy of my bill.

03:21:40Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004276

And I will appreciate if you can take a good look at it.

03:21:45Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004277

And siguro po, you can share, you can review, send some comments and inputs to improve the bill.

03:21:53Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004278

And if you find it helpful and necessary, perhaps I will just request the Secretary to bring it up, perhaps, to the Executive.

03:22:01Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004279

Department for its passage or for it to be a priority of this Congress.

03:22:10Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004280

Thank you, Secretary Rex.

03:22:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004281

Mr. Chair, we'll gladly accept that we already registered our full support to the bill in writing early on.

03:22:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004282

So, we'll gladly accept and see if there are new angles that you want us to comment on.

03:22:23Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004283

Thank you, Mr. Chair, that would be all.

03:22:27Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

03:22:49Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004289

And magandang hapon po sa DSWD family, Secretary Rex Gatchalian.

03:22:56Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004290

I believe my, one of my questions was asked earlier by Kong Iris.

03:23:00Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004291

Thank you very much po.

03:23:01Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004292

I akala ko po hindi ako makakabalik agad, but now I'm here.

03:23:05Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004293

I just wanted to join my colleagues who already expressed their

03:23:12Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004294

support.

03:23:12Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004295

And commendation to the DSWD family, of course, under the outstanding leadership of Secretary

03:23:19Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004296

Rex Gatchalian for their timely and effective delivery of social services.

03:23:24Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004297

Kitang-kita po natin sa bawat sakuna, sa bawat trahedya po, nandyan po on the ground, always

03:23:30Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004298

at the forefront ang ating DSWD.

03:23:32Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004299

Maraming salamat po sa inyong servisyo.

03:23:34Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004300

And with that, I express my full support para po sa budget ng DSWD.

03:23:42Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004301

Marami pa pong mga kailangang idagdag.

03:23:45Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004302

Nabanggit na po kanina, kagaya po nung AICS, hindi ko na po babanggitin kasi I believe

03:23:49Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004303

as Secrex was able to explain and justify the need to at least return the amount that

03:23:59Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004304

was removed under the NEP.

03:24:01Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004305

And then yung QRF din po na nabanggit ni Kong Iris Montes kanina, nakita naman po natin,

03:24:09Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004306

quick response, importante po yan.

03:24:11Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004307

Kita naman din po natin na itong pondong po ito ay diretsyo naman po yan sa mga tao.

03:24:17Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004308

So tayo po ay hindi po dapat magdalawang isip at maging panatag po tayo kung dadagdagan

03:24:25Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004309

po natin ang pondong ito na kailangan po ng DSWD.

03:24:29Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004310

Siguro po just one more question, since natanong na po yung QRF kanina.

03:24:36Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004311

On behalf lang po ng ating mga workers po.

03:24:40Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004312

Mr. Chair, kasi po siguro the good secretary can explain.

03:24:48Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004313

Ang hinanaing po kasi ng iba po sa ating mga workers, sinasabi po nila na they feel like

03:24:56Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004314

minsan po na pag iiwanan sila pagdating sa mga social services po ng ating gobyerno.

03:25:02Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004315

Dahil of course hindi ko naman po sinasabi na definitely priority po natin yung mga higit

03:25:08Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004316

na nangangailangan.

03:25:09Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004317

But then we also have our minimum wage earners, even our middle class workers na isang emergency,

03:25:17Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004318

medical emergency lang, isang namatayan ay maapektuhan na po ang kanilang finances.

03:25:25Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004319

So maybe the good secretary can explain or inform our minimum wage workers, yung pong

03:25:34Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004320

mga nagtatrabaho nating mga kababayan.

03:25:37Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004321

That they are also covered.

03:25:39Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004322

And entitled to the programs of the DSWD.

03:25:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004323

Mr. Chairman, I just want to again point out na ang AICS ho is for everybody.

03:25:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004324

It looks at the crisis situation more than the income level.

03:25:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004325

So lagi namin sinasabi magtungo lang ho sa aming mga tanggapan para ma-assess ng social

03:25:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004326

worker natin.

03:25:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004327

And in fact, I just don't have the data with me.

03:25:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004328

We will gladly furnish the committee.

03:26:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004329

A percentage, a real significant percentage of AIICS really goes to those above the middle

03:26:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004330

class.

03:26:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004331

So those above the poverty threshold, the near poor.

03:26:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004332

All the way to 50%.

03:26:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004333

I just don't have the percentages right now but we'll send it to you.

03:26:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004334

It goes to show na yung crisis in crisis situation yung tinitignan.

03:26:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004335

Now number two, the president also instructed us to widen the lalo na ngayong energy emergency.

03:26:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004336

That's why the uplift assistance has three components to it of which yung pangatlo is

03:26:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004337

targeting low wage earners.

03:26:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004338

These are above minimum wage earners ng SSS.

03:26:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004339

That's around 1.5 million.

03:26:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004340

Ang na-service na namin around 800,000 kasi tulad na nabanggit ko kanina dormant yung beneficiary

03:26:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004341

accounts ng marami sa kanila.

03:26:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004342

But we're working on that with SSS to try to look for more of them para ma-exhaust natin

03:26:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004343

yung 1.5 the monthly allocation na tigta 2,000 para sa ating mga SSS low wage earners.

03:27:00Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004344

Thank you po.

03:27:01Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004345

And thank you for that explanation po from our Secretary Rex Gatchalian.

03:27:06Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004346

I think yun lang po.

03:27:07Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004347

I think yun lang po ang aking ipo-point out.

03:27:09Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004348

Nasagot naman po.

03:27:11Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004349

And again, I just wanted to manifest our sincere appreciation to the good Secretary and the

03:27:18Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004350

entire DSWD family for all their hard work 24-7.

03:27:22Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004351

Mapaulan, mapabagyo, nandyan po sila.

03:27:25Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004352

Maraming salamat po and we manifest our strong support for the needed budget and the requested

03:27:31Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004353

additional budget of the DSWD.

03:27:33Source

Rep. Johanne Monich G. Bautista

asr-004354

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair.

03:27:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004355

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

03:27:37Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004356

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004357

We now recognize Representative Krisel Lagman.

03:27:49Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004358

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

03:27:50Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004359

Hindi pa kumakain si Secretary.

03:27:52Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004360

Iba talaga pag rooted sa local government ang head ng department.

03:28:01Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004361

Lalong-lalo na pagdating sa social services.

03:28:04Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004362

Damang-dama po namin ang hands-on approach

03:28:10Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004363

and holistic approach ng inyong paggogobyerno, Secretary Rex.

03:28:14Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004364

Ang Tabaco, Albay, laging nasasalanta.

03:28:22Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004365

Maging bagyo man yan o mga volcanic eruptions.

03:28:25Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004366

Itong nakaraan ang pinakamahaba na evacuation time sa loob ng evacuation centers.

03:28:35Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004367

Inabot po sa 7 buwan.

03:28:38Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004368

7 buwan.

03:28:39Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004369

Nagsimula ng January 6 at nag-decamp ng August 6.

03:28:45Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004370

So, 7 months po.

03:28:47Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004371

And hindi po talaga nagpabaya ang DSWD.

03:28:51Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004372

Naandito ang aming regional director, si RD Norman Laurio.

03:28:55Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004373

And nagpapasalamat po ako sa agaran at maliksi na pag-responde niya sa mga pangailangan ng aming mga evacuees.

03:29:05Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004374

Suficiente rin po yung pinamimigay.

03:29:09Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004375

In fact, every 15 days, may binibigay na good for 3 days na food packs.

03:29:20Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004376

So, sa isang buwan, nakaka-receive ng mga around 9 to 10 boxes ang aming mga families.

03:29:29Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004377

Ito lang po ang aking comment.

03:29:32Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004378

First is, wala pong pinipili.

03:29:35Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004379

Ang ibig kong sabihin, maging isang miyembro lang ng pamilya,

03:29:39Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004380

o sampung miyembro ng pamilya,

03:29:41Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004381

eh ang ibinabahagi po ay isang kahon.

03:29:45Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004382

And every 3 days po sila nakaka-receive nito.

03:29:49Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004383

Baka maaari po na maging mas maayos ang pagbabahagi nito.

03:29:55Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004384

Kasi ang isang pamilya na may isang miyembro,

03:30:00Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004385

At makakareceive ng 6 kilos of rice every 3 days ay napakalaki po na appropriation na sana ay napunta doon sa mas malalaking pamilya.

03:30:10Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004386

So, iyon po ang isang comment ko.

03:30:13Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004387

Pangalawa rin naman po yung variety.

03:30:15Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004388

Alam ko kakaiba ang sitwasyon namin sa Albay.

03:30:18Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004389

Hindi all the time ay ganito kahaba ang evacuation.

03:30:25Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004390

Ang iba ilang araw lang, baka linggo.

03:30:28Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004391

Pero nangyayari po at nangyayari pa lang.

03:30:32Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004392

Kaya ang pakiusap ko po sana may variety rin ang laman ng mga boxes natin.

03:30:40Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004393

And sana po naandito ang chairman ng Ways and Means Committee.

03:30:45Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004394

Katabi ko po si chairman.

03:30:48Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004395

And napansin po namin ay yung madali pong ma-distribute at matagal ang shelf life ang nilalagay natin.

03:30:56Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004396

Siyempre.

03:30:57Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004397

Kasi mahabaan.

03:30:58Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004398

Ang storage nito.

03:31:00Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004399

Subalit sana po instead of 3-in-1 coffee na loaded po talaga sa asukal at flavorings,

03:31:10Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004400

baka po po pwedeng stick na lang ng coffee.

03:31:14Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004401

Baka mas marami pang mabibili kesa sa limang pakete ng 3-in-1.

03:31:19Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004402

Baka po pwedeng isang dosena na ng stick ng coffee.

03:31:23Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004403

Kasi at least yun totoong kape at hindi loaded sa asukal.

03:31:27Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004404

Nakalagay rin po doon ay Ovaltine.

03:31:31Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004405

And maganda po yun para sa mga bata.

03:31:34Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004406

Pero sana magkaroon ng mas nutritious na substitute.

03:31:38Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004407

Kasi ang tinitingnan lang po natin ay hindi lang yung may pantawid gutom,

03:31:43Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004408

kundi sana nutritious din po ang laman ng ating pinamimigay.

03:31:49Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004409

So wala po akong masyadong reklamo, sir.

03:31:53Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004410

Mabilis ang aksyon.

03:31:55Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004411

Sustained.

03:31:57Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004412

Masyado nga pong na-pamper yung mga LGUs.

03:32:00Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004413

Kasi under your watch, ngayon lang namin naramdaman

03:32:03Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004414

na hindi na iisipin ng LGUs kung ano ang ipamimigay.

03:32:08Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004415

Kasi sustained siya.

03:32:10Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004416

Hindi lang siya quick response, pero sustained ang response.

03:32:15Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004417

Tuloy, yung probinsya ng Albay, for instance,

03:32:19Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004418

once lang namihagi ng bigas.

03:32:21Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004419

At nung pag-decamp, doon nagbigay pa ng fresh food.

03:32:27Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004420

Yung mga LGUs naman po ay hindi na gumagamit ng kanilang quick response funds.

03:32:32Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004421

Kasi umasa na lahat sa DSWD.

03:32:36Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004422

So kanina sinabi ninyo na kayo ang pang-augment.

03:32:42Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004423

Hindi po ganun ang nangyayari.

03:32:44Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004424

So palagay ko may mali rin po doon sa senaryo, sir.

03:32:49Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004425

Kailangan ata mapag-aralan din mabuti.

03:32:52Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004426

O mag-guide yung LGU.

03:32:54Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004427

Kapag hindi ka nagbigay,

03:32:57Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004428

hindi ba po pwedeng i-ask sa lahat sa DSWD?

03:33:01Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004429

Lahat ako, salita, hindi ko malang narinig yung response ninyo.

03:33:05Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004430

So again, maraming salamat po.

03:33:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004431

Mr. Chairman, totally agree.

03:33:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004432

Una ho yung efficiency.

03:33:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004433

Now is the time that we study our options on individuals versus family packs.

03:33:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004434

Mahirap sa logistics sa storekeeping, pero we're up to the challenge.

03:33:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004435

Number two, variety.

03:33:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004436

Hindi na lang ngayon kasi sa Albay nangyayari.

03:33:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004437

Ito yung protracted disasters, like what we're seeing now in Central Luzon na one month and a half na.

03:33:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004438

When those boxes na, we just kept what it was nung na nakuha namin yung control ng department.

03:33:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004439

Tama ko kayo, we have to start thinking of the new type of disasters that's hitting us.

03:33:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004440

And variety is something that's important.

03:33:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004441

The food fatigue is something that's real.

03:33:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004442

At kaya kami nakakarinig rin.

03:33:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004443

So we will take that into account.

03:33:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004444

But the first two items, well noted, we will study.

03:33:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004445

Mahirap kasi ho.

03:33:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004446

That means us storekeeping multiple types of packs.

03:34:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004447

But we're up to the challenge.

03:34:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004448

Number three, yung 3-1 coffee.

03:34:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004449

Ako, I myself drink black and I agree.

03:34:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004450

Pero gusto ko lang ko i-point out, lahat ho yun, bago nalagay sa kahon, dumadaan sa FNRI.

03:34:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004451

It passed their minimum standards, but we will review.

03:34:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004452

Well noted as well, Madam Chair.

03:34:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004453

Mr. Chair, and last but not the least, yun sa QRF.

03:34:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004454

Ma'am, you read my mind.

03:34:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004455

And you said what I can't say publicly because we're in the middle of a disaster.

03:34:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004456

But rest assured that we're already talking to DBM because we're seeing slow or low utilization ng mga quick response sa LGU level.

03:34:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004457

And I would also point out nga na unlike the national QRF na na-exhaust sa lokal, you know this very well,

03:34:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004458

nare-revert yan after two years or three years into the general fund.

03:34:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004459

Five years pala, sorry, five years.

03:34:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004460

I haven't practiced local government in more than four years now.

03:34:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004461

So we have to really think about what you said.

03:35:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004462

Kasi ang sinasabi nyo, lagi ko rin yan sinasabi na sa isip ko.

03:35:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004463

Pero we're going to find a way to make the LGUs counterpart man lang.

03:35:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004464

Kasi nga, like I said, mabigat na ng pabigat.

03:35:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004465

And I hope we see lang kasi the only reason why we're doing this massive is because in a hungry family, walang national government, walang local government.

03:35:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004466

Pag galit siya sa gobyerno, galit siya sa gobyerno.

03:35:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004467

Kung hindi siya nakakuha ng pagkain, galit siya.

03:35:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004468

Pero it's no reason for the lopsided utilization of the QRF.

03:35:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004469

While the national government is using its QRF massively to a point na nade-deplete natin,

03:35:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004470

the local government will look at how they utilize and how to prod them with the help of DILG and DBM to spend their QRFs also.

03:35:47Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004471

I would just like to add na maganda yung aksyon na ginawa ng DSWD

03:35:54Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004472

na nagbigay ng Emergency Cash Assistance para mabibili nila yung mga [unclear] items na kailangan rin nila.

03:36:04Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004473

Pero sa 7 buwan at isang Emergency Cash Assistance, baka sa susunod pa pwedeng planuhin na mas madalas.

03:36:12Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004474

May cash for work. One cash for work, one emergency cash assistance.

03:36:17Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004475

So baka mas tingnan natin kung pa paano mabalansihin.

03:36:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004476

And since it's an ongoing disaster, si Mayon hasn't really de-escalated.

03:36:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004477

The Undersecretary for Disaster will sit down with a good Congresswoman on packaging more.

03:36:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004478

But well noted not just for Mayon but for every other protracted disaster.

03:36:39Source

Rep. Cielo Krisel Lagman

asr-004479

Maraming maraming salamat, Secretary. And congratulations, job well done.

03:36:46Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004480

Thank you, Kong Lagman.

03:36:48Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004481

As if we're running out of interpellators, Mr. Secretary.

03:36:51Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004482

The good thing is we have with us the Committee Chair of the Ways and Means.

03:36:58Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-004483

We recognize Congressman Miro Quimbo.

03:37:05Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004484

Thank you very much.

03:37:06Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004485

Actually, I wasn't supposed to ask you a question, but it seems that for the first time we're running out of warm bodies.

03:37:13Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004486

So just to keep the conversation going, well, I mean honestly, I have nothing to ask.

03:37:21Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004487

Because how do you fix something that's already working?

03:37:28Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004488

I think we have very hardworking employees.

03:37:34Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004489

The response time has become so much quicker.

03:37:38Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004490

Even in terms of professionalizing the distribution and pickup of our pag-asa boxes.

03:37:48Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004491

How do we call our boxes again?

03:37:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004492

Family food box.

03:37:50Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004493

Family food box.

03:37:51Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004494

I said that earlier, in previous years, parang kahon ng pag-asa.

03:38:01Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004495

Because it does. I mean, that's what it does.

03:38:04Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004496

Meaning when people see it, it's already a symbol of something that addresses deep wants at a very dire moment.

03:38:13Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004497

So tingin ko, baka pag-isipan natin, it's too businesslike.

03:38:18Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004498

It's too Rex Gatchal yan.

03:38:21Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004499

Parang it's part of a key performance indicator.

03:38:28Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004500

Parang ganun ang dating eh, di ba?

03:38:29Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004501

What's it called? Family?

03:38:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004502

Family food pack.

03:38:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004503

FFP.

03:38:34Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004504

Palitan mo na yun.

03:38:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004505

We will, Mr. Chair.

03:38:37Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004506

I think with something more, yeah, something more spiritual, di ba?

03:38:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004507

Hopeful, yeah.

03:38:42Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004508

Yeah, yung aspirational.

03:38:44Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004509

But anyway, so even the way that it's managed, the way they are packed, these are very simple things.

03:38:51Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004510

But even on the part of the end user, you see them very much satisfied.

03:38:57Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004511

And even the way it is packed today, I have rarely heard of anyone actually na, ang tawag dyan, binuburiki eh.

03:39:06Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004512

Yung dinidismantle and then nilalagay in their own political packaging.

03:39:12Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004513

Hindi ko na rin nababalitaan yan eh.

03:39:13Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004514

Kasi sobrang hirap yata i-unbundle.

03:39:16Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004515

Tanggal pala yung scotch tape dyan, di ba?

03:39:19Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004516

So, but like I said,

03:39:21Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004517

yung tanong ko na lang is really on senior citizen pension.

03:39:26Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004518

So, I've seen that while the budget for this, for next year, is actually lower, slightly lower from this year.

03:39:34Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004519

Despite the fact that the target has increased by, I think, more than 50,000, ang additional beneficiaries.

03:39:43Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004520

Pero bakit mas mababa yung budget?

03:39:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004521

Mr. Chairman, ano kasi yun?

03:39:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004522

Congressional amendment?

03:39:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004523

Yung nadagdag?

03:39:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004524

And even that, kasi kapos na kapos eh.

03:39:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004525

We are fully supportive of the provision that you've been pushing together with former Congresswoman Stella

03:40:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004526

on a universal senior pension, social pension for senior citizens.

03:40:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004527

It will address the public perception na pinipili.

03:40:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004528

And we totally agree.

03:40:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004529

Sana hawa, huwag lang ma-restore, but we add more to cater to all of them.

03:40:17Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004530

Yeah, I think, Chairman, the point here relative to senior citizens,

03:40:21Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004531

and pension is, nothing can be worse when you're doing a great program,

03:40:27Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004532

but you receive more criticisms than praises.

03:40:30Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004533

Because yung tumatanggap, kadalasan di naman nagpapasalamat na eh, diba?

03:40:35Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004534

Pero yung hindi nakakatanggap na karamihan, ay yun ang pinuputakti tayo.

03:40:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004535

Actually, Mr. Chairman, tama ho yun. Plus minus eh.

03:40:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004536

Kasi mas malaki yung minus than yung plus.

03:40:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004537

Kasi at the running rate of 11 million senior citizens, and we're only catering to 4.5 to 5,

03:40:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004538

that means yung 6 na milyon na hindi nakakatanggap,

03:40:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004539

minus dun sa lamang pahuyong hindi nakatanggap na galit.

03:40:55Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004540

At saka, ayoko naman lahat eh, pero marami sa ating mga kababayan,

03:40:59Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004541

katatanggap pa lang ng benepisyo,

03:41:01Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004542

ang susunod ay imbis sa magsabi ng maraming salamat sa Pangulo, sa DSWD,

03:41:07Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004543

ang kadalasan nadidinig ko eh, ano pa kaya susunod?

03:41:11Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004544

Diba? So, I really think that the program needs to be expanded.

03:41:16Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004545

So, there's an existing proposal here to have a reduced,

03:41:21Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004546

ah, amount for the new ones, meaning instead of 1,000 a month,

03:41:26Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004547

500 pesos a month lang so that the outlay becomes half.

03:41:30Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004548

And I think it's going to be more palatable and obviously it's going to be more affordable.

03:41:35Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004549

Sabi ko nga, Sek, imbis na dinadala sa kung ano-ano flood control, dito lang natin dalhin.

03:41:41Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004550

Kasi dito mas napapakinabangan pa ng tao.

03:41:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004551

Mr. Chairman, we agree 101% on both counts.

03:41:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004552

Half, but everybody.

03:41:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004553

And at the same time, yun nga, we put our money where we know na talagang direkto sa tao.

03:41:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004554

Huwag lang magalit ko si Sekvin sa akin.

03:41:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004555

Kasi that means a minus to his side.

03:42:02Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004556

Yeah, at the appropriate time, Mr. Chairman, we will move that more funding be given dito.

03:42:09Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004557

Kasi, you know, it's so hard to explain to our SSS and GSIS pensioners,

03:42:15Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004558

especially our SS pensioners who only get a pension of, on the average,

03:42:20Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004559

between

03:42:20Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004560

three to five thousand a month.

03:42:22Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004561

So, ang tingin talaga nila is bakit kami paparasahan na nagsipag kami.

03:42:27Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004562

For lack of a better explanation, is ang tingin nila is kami nagtrabaho,

03:42:32Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004563

o yung asawa namin nagtrabaho, kaya may survivor pension kami,

03:42:35Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004564

but we are automatically disqualified.

03:42:38Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004565

While itong kapitbahay namin na buong buhay niya ay walang kinontribute sa economy in terms of livelihood,

03:42:45Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004566

siya ay nari-rewardan when the source of the funds really come from,

03:42:50Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004567

taxpayers, including themselves,

03:42:53Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004568

especially since they had been paying compensation taxes during their entire working life.

03:42:58Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004569

So, ang hirap i-justify, eh.

03:43:00Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004570

And I think nadidiminish yung ganda ng programa.

03:43:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004571

Mr. Chair, we totally agree, and we're 101% behind that concept na huwag ipinalize yung mga may pension.

03:43:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004572

And sang-ayon ho kami.

03:43:15Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004573

At sana, Secretary, is we really move towards,

03:43:20Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004574

a more contactless electronic transfer.

03:43:25Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004575

Kasi, kawawa rin yung ating mga beneficiaries, kailangan pa i-biyahe,

03:43:30Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004576

especially mga senior citizens.

03:43:32Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-004577

At wala naman akong pinapatunguhan o pinaparinggan,

Mr. Chairman, in fact, that move is already being done in the uplift assistance bucket 2.

Kanina na talakay ho namin na we're working with the BSP on banking the unbanked,

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004587

lalo na sa mahirap.

03:44:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004588

We saw in UPLIFT bucket number two, yung poor at near poor.

03:44:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004589

Yung poor, almost 80% are unbanked.

03:44:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004590

That's why what we did with the BSP is to get the banks and the e-wallets on site already.

03:44:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004591

So, pag-payout, nire-register na rin namin with the hopes of banking that 2.5 million na mga Pilipino na mahihirap at near poor na walang banko.

03:44:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004592

But we totally agree, Mr. Chairman.

I just hope that it will not also lead to delay, no?

Yung while there will be birth pains, meaning registration,

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

03:45:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

with the hopes na on the third tranche, kasi napakaliit lang ho yung may bank account sa first tranche eh.

03:45:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004760

Mr. Chairman, while we're

04:00:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004761

getting the data, I want to just

04:00:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004762

put on record the process flow that

04:00:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004763

goes through it.

04:00:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004764

Initially, in the

04:00:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004765

administration of the past

04:00:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004766

CHED Commissioner

04:00:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004767

or Chairman,

04:00:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004768

there were so many talks

04:00:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004769

about prioritization

04:00:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004770

of 4Ps to include

04:00:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004771

the solo parents na 4Ps.

04:00:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004772

Unfortunately, hindi ko kami napaprioritize

04:00:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004773

nun. In fact, in the last Congress,

04:00:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004774

multiple congressional hearings were done.

04:00:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004775

You know, Congressman Daza,

04:00:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004776

Congressman Abalos, and we kept on

04:00:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004777

telling the CHED

04:00:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004778

form, then CHED

04:00:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004779

Chairman, to please prioritize

04:00:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004780

not just the 4Ps, but the most

04:00:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004781

vulnerable 4Ps. Kasi, Mr. Chairman,

04:00:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004782

meron tayong

04:00:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004783

sub-list sa loob ng 4Ps.

04:00:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004784

These are yung, ano yung tawag

04:00:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004785

doon yung may double vulnerabilities?

04:01:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004786

Yung dating muna sa ESAP period.

04:01:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004787

Anyways, Mr. Chairman,

04:01:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004788

kumaga yung 4Ps,

04:01:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004789

vulnerable na sila, pero yung subset

04:01:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004790

niyan, yung mga mas vulnerable pa,

04:01:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004791

yung solo parents, indigenous

04:01:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004792

people, people with disability,

04:01:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004793

yung multiple

04:01:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004794

vulnerabilities. So,

04:01:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004795

kinukulit namin sila dati, and hindi nila

04:01:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004796

napaprioritize. Now, what we

04:01:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004797

did with the new chairman, and you can

04:01:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004798

check with her, automatically

04:01:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004799

we would transmit the list.

04:01:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004800

Kompleto po yun.

04:01:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004801

Whether or not they're prioritized,

04:01:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004802

yun ang... Hindi nyo na alam.

04:01:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004803

Hindi sa hindi nyo alam.

04:01:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004804

How do I put this nicely?

04:01:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004805

Hindi. So, yun.

04:01:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004806

In fact, numerous meetings

04:01:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004807

we've done with CHED

04:01:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004808

to tell them na dapat pinaprioritize

04:01:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004809

to. But, we'd like to thank

04:01:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004810

Congress with the new amendment on the TES

04:01:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004811

that was just signed

04:01:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004812

recently, na talagang

04:01:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004813

categorically sinasabi, una

04:01:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004814

talaga dapat yung 4Ps

04:01:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004815

doon sa TES.

04:02:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004816

Now, for the data, Mr. Chair,

04:02:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004817

for 2026, we

04:02:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004818

transmitted a total of

04:02:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004819

490,000

04:02:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004820

4Ps

04:02:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004821

monitored children who are college

04:02:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004822

bound, or nasa loob na to

04:02:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004823

yung iba. Papunta pa lang po to

04:02:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004824

sa koleyo, iba pa yung nasa loob na.

04:02:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004825

Nandito, napapaloob

04:02:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004826

dito yung subset na hinahanap

04:02:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004827

nyo yung solo parent, which we will carve out

04:02:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004828

and send to your office.

04:02:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004829

For 2027, another

04:02:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004830

354,000

04:02:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004831

na sinabmit na namin.

04:02:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004832

And hopefully, with the new

04:02:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004833

the new provisions of the

04:02:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004834

TES law, dapat mauna

04:02:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004835

talaga sila dahil it will

04:02:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004836

complete the spectrum of breaking

04:02:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004837

intergenerational poverty.

04:02:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004838

Sa ngayon po, we don't have the

04:02:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004839

data yet on how many the solo parents are.

04:02:51Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004840

Mr. Chairman,

04:02:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004841

No, no.

04:02:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004842

Household to.

04:02:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004843

Walang bata. We have the household

04:02:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004844

but not the number of monitored children.

04:03:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004845

We need the end of the media.

04:03:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004846

Meeting to send it to you.

04:03:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004847

Sa loob ng 4Ps, ang total

04:03:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004848

solo parent catchment is

04:03:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004849

132,451.

04:03:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004850

So sa

04:03:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004851

3.5 natin na milyon na

04:03:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004852

actually ngayon, 3 milyon pa lang

04:03:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004853

naman ho eh. 3 milyon,

04:03:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004854

1, 3, 2, 4, 5, 1

04:03:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004855

ang solo parents.

04:03:23Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004856

1, 3, 2, 4, 5, 1

04:03:25Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004857

households. Led by solo

04:03:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004858

parents. That are part of 4Ps.

04:03:29Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004859

Yes. Thank you. Thank you for that.

04:03:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004860

But we will send you the names and the list

04:03:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004861

of the children nila

04:03:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004862

na college bound.

04:03:38Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004863

Salamat po.

04:03:41Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004864

My next question, Mr. Chair

04:03:43Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004865

is

04:03:43Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004866

AICS achieved a 93.8%

04:03:48Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004867

disbursement rate

04:03:49Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004868

in 2025

04:03:50Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004869

with about 3.65 billion

04:03:53Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004870

undisbursed at

04:03:55Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004871

year end. But its budget

04:03:57Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004872

drops from

04:03:58Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004873

63.9 billion in

04:04:01Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004874

2026 to around

04:04:03Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004875

33.3 billion

04:04:05Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004876

in 2027.

04:04:07Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004877

Magkano po ba yung

04:04:08Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004878

regular na AICS

04:04:11Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004879

dun? Tapos magkano po yung

04:04:13Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004880

napunta sa uplift?

04:04:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004881

Mr. Chairman,

04:04:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004882

at the current rate right

04:04:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004883

now, yung 2025,

04:04:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004884

ubus na ho yun. Na fully disbursed

04:04:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004885

as of last year. In fact, we

04:04:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004886

got augmentation pa. The 2025?

04:04:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004887

Yes. Every year,

04:04:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004888

wala naman ho natitira dyan.

04:04:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004889

Talagang na-augment pa yan

04:04:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004890

ng UA nun, ng program.

04:04:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004891

Now, this year, as of July,

04:04:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004892

we've already disbursed this amount

04:04:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004893

around 70%.

04:04:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004894

Around 70% of the

04:04:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004895

total fund, of which

04:04:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004896

right now, 10 billion, close

04:04:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004897

to ang uplift is around

04:04:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004898

10 billion pesos.

04:04:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004899

Roughly 10 billion pesos

04:04:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004900

nang na-disbursed.

04:04:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004901

But right now, ongoing pa rin yung

04:04:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004902

uplift assistance. So, we're

04:04:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004903

still drawing, but at the same time

04:05:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004904

we're getting augmentation also. Kasi

04:05:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004905

we don't want to be cannibalized.

04:05:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004906

Yung regular operation ng AICS.

04:05:07Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004907

Yes, exactly. So,

04:05:09Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004908

why the drop po from?

04:05:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004909

This, Mr.

04:05:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004910

Chair, as practice,

04:05:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004911

every single item introduced

04:05:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004912

in Congress or the Senate

04:05:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004913

is removed from the NEP

04:05:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004914

when it's

04:05:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004915

published. So, ang inalist

04:05:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004916

na 30 billion, yan ho yung introduced

04:05:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004917

during your process of

04:05:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004918

amendments and the BARC.

04:05:31Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004919

Okay.

04:05:32Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004920

So, hindi naman po ma-apektuhan yung

04:05:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004921

regular. Mr. Chairman,

04:05:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004922

hindi ma-apektuhan this year

04:05:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004923

kasi we're getting augmentation

04:05:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004924

already. Pero, if we can

04:05:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004925

pull out the slide that we showed a while ago,

04:05:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004926

pag hindi ma-restore yung

04:05:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004927

amount na yan, around 4 million

04:05:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004928

family individuals will be

04:05:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004929

displaced. That's why we have

04:05:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004930

been pleading with Congress and later

04:05:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004931

on in the Senate na sana ma-restore

04:05:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004932

or else we'll be turning away 4 million

04:06:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004933

individuals in dire need of social welfare.

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004934

So, I urge

04:06:04Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004935

our colleagues in Congress na dapat

04:06:06Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004936

po i-restore po yan.

04:06:08Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004937

Hindi po dapat galawin.

04:06:10Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004938

Sana ibalik ko.

04:06:12Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004939

So, my next question,

04:06:16Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004940

Mr. Chair, Mr.

04:06:18Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004941

Secretary, may we also

04:06:23Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004942

ask about the implementation of the

04:06:25Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004943

Expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act?

04:06:27Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004944

What is the status of

04:06:28Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004945

compliance of our LGUs nationwide?

04:06:32Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004946

Ilan po ang

04:06:32Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004947

nag-implement na nung

04:06:35Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004948

batas and how many are not yet

04:06:37Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004949

compliant? Kasi po

04:06:39Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004950

kayo po ang lead agency pagdating sa

04:06:41Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004951

pag-implement nung Solo Parents

04:06:43Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004952

Welfare Act?

04:06:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004953

Mr. Chair, of a total of

04:06:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004954

1,658 LGUs, only

04:06:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004955

478 are

04:06:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004956

implementing the various subsidies

04:06:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004957

prescribed by law. Now, when we

04:06:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004958

ask and follow up with the LGUs,

04:06:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004959

ang laging nasasabi is fund

04:06:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004960

availability. Wala ho silang pondo

04:07:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004961

and these are normally small LGUs.

04:07:04Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004962

Is there

04:07:05Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004963

no way of finding out whether

04:07:07Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004964

this is really

04:07:08Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004965

accurate?

04:07:11Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004966

Paano po muna natin sila matutulungan

04:07:13Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004967

para ma-implement yung batas?

04:07:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004968

Mr. Chairman, every time

04:07:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004969

we speak with the

04:07:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004970

focal individuals

04:07:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004971

normally the CSWDO,

04:07:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004972

ang sagot nila lagi sa amin is

04:07:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004973

lack of funds. At tulad na

04:07:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004974

nabanggit ko, karamihan sa mga nagko-comply

04:07:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004975

are the bigger LGUs, the bigger

04:07:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004976

cities or the bigger provinces.

04:07:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004977

Ang mga hindi nagko-comply yung maliliit

04:07:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004978

talaga nating mga LGU dahil

04:07:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004979

I'd like to think hindi naman dahil ayaw nila

04:07:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004980

ba talagang kulang lang sa pondo?

04:07:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004981

And pag tinanong namin sila ano ang

04:07:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004982

maitutulong, syempre ang hingin nila pabalik

04:07:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004983

is subsidy from the national government.

04:07:48Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004984

How about on the ID?

04:07:50Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004985

On the

04:07:50Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004986

Unified Solo Parent ID? Any updates po?

04:07:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004987

Mr. Chairman,

04:07:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004988

that is something that we're still working on

04:07:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004989

unbeatedly because tulad na na sinabi namin

04:07:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004990

naka-ankla ho kasi yan doon sa implementation

04:08:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004991

naman ng Unified PWD ID

04:08:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004992

which served as its test case.

04:08:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004993

Meron ho kaming database. We normally

04:08:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004994

update the database that we collate from the

04:08:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004995

LGUs. Pero as mentioned,

04:08:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004996

a while ago, we have

04:08:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004997

yet to fully roll this out because

04:08:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004998

the implementing, the

04:08:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-004999

PIDAUs are the ones issuing the

04:08:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005000

solo parent IDs.

04:08:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005001

Sorry, the PIDAUs

04:08:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005002

for the people with disability and then the

04:08:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005003

respective CSWDs for their solo IDs.

04:08:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005004

But there is a, as mentioned in a

04:08:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005005

couple of meetings with the good congressman,

04:08:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005006

talagang ang direction without violating

04:08:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005007

the laws kasi meron ho talagang

04:08:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005008

implementing agency that social welfare is

04:08:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005009

devolved. We're trying to find that

04:08:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005010

agreement na kami ang mag-issue

04:08:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005011

ng Unified ID without violating

04:08:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005012

any provisions stipulated

04:08:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005013

in the devolution of social

04:08:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005014

welfare.

04:08:49Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005015

Because, syempre ho,

04:08:51Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005016

napag-usapan naman natin, naiintindihan

04:08:53Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005017

nyo naman po na a Unified

04:08:55Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005018

ID is actually best for the

04:08:57Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005019

solo parents given this case.

04:08:59Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005020

Kasi, for example, yung

04:09:01Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005021

if we have a unified system,

04:09:05Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005022

yung benefits including the test,

04:09:07Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005023

mas madali hong magkaroon ng validation.

04:09:10Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005024

Hindi po ba?

04:09:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005025

We agree, Mr. Chairman, kami

04:09:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005026

naniniwala ho kami sa panukala na yon.

04:09:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005027

Sinisigurado lang ho namin na hindi

04:09:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005028

counterintuitive yung ginagawa namin

04:09:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005029

kasi, syempre, we will

04:09:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005030

encounter yung mga komento na

04:09:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005031

pabaliktad yung ginagawa namin

04:09:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005032

from devolution to

04:09:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005033

pabalik to national government. So, we're

04:09:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005034

very careful kasi may mga prescription

04:09:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005035

like sino ang signatory

04:09:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005036

ng ID. Those

04:09:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005037

things matter kasi the issuing body

04:09:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005038

matters. But, we totally agree, Mr.

04:09:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005039

Chairman.

04:09:41Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005040

Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary, ano po

04:09:43Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005041

ang naiisip natin with regards

04:09:45Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005042

to the solo parents? Dun po sa

04:09:47Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005043

pag-implement ng batas?

04:09:50Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005044

Is there any

04:09:51Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005045

meron po ba tayo naiisip

04:09:54Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005046

na solusyon kung paano

04:09:56Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005047

natin matutulungan yung mga

04:09:57Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005048

LGUs na hindi po nagkukumplay?

04:10:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005049

It's a functionality

04:10:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005050

again, Mr. Chairman, of how much money

04:10:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005051

the national government can spare for this

04:10:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005052

endeavor.

04:10:08Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005053

Have we thought of any proposal?

04:10:10Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005054

Do we have any

04:10:11Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005055

anything in mind

04:10:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005056

to be able to implement.

04:10:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005057

Ang lagi ko sinasabi, ang pattern

04:10:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005058

kasi niyan, yung people with disability, sorry,

04:10:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005059

yung senior citizen.

04:10:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005060

It's a mandate na prescribed

04:10:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005061

by law, not based on fund availability.

04:10:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005062

Nga, dapat eh. But even that,

04:10:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005063

as mentioned a while ago, talagang kalahati

04:10:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005064

lang na napopondohan ng pamalang nasyonal.

04:10:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005065

So we still get, as we discussed

04:10:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005066

kanyang, we get all these issues na

04:10:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005067

feeling talaga nila, pinipili sila.

04:10:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005068

The only solution

04:10:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005069

that we can think of to equalize

04:10:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005070

the treatment of our solo parents is to

04:10:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005071

really, for national government to step in.

04:10:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005072

But whether or not we have the fiscal

04:10:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005073

capacity to do that is what is scarier.

04:10:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005074

Meron ho tayong batas,

04:10:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005075

nandiyan na yung batas, even on identifying

04:10:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005076

the categories and when they exit

04:10:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005077

out of the category, malino naman ho yung batas eh.

04:11:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005078

Pero ang next na tanong lang is

04:11:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005079

the funding mechanism for it.

04:11:04Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005080

Baka lang ho we can come up with a plan

04:11:06Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005081

or a proposal. Just

04:11:07Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005082

to be able to implement

04:11:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005083

the program. And gladly, Mr. Chairman,

04:11:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005084

we will submit to the committee and the good

04:11:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005085

congressman a proposed idea or

04:11:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005086

a concept paper for the full implementation

04:11:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005087

of the solo parent law.

04:11:19Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005088

Thank you for that, Mr. Chair.

04:11:21Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005089

My next question is on the SLP.

04:11:24Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005090

Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary,

04:11:26Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005091

we continue to receive complaints

04:11:28Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005092

that processing

04:11:30Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005093

takes a very long time.

04:11:32Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005094

For someone who needs a livelihood,

04:11:34Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005095

waiting months defeats the purpose

04:11:36Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005096

of the assistance.

04:11:37Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005097

So, my question is,

04:11:40Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005098

Mr. Chair, from complete application

04:11:42Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005099

to actual assistance,

04:11:44Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005100

what is your present average

04:11:46Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005101

processing time?

04:11:48Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005102

And can DSWD establish

04:11:50Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005103

a definite turnaround time?

04:11:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005104

Mr. Chairman, it's only 22 days and we will

04:11:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005105

gladly submit to you case studies of the

04:11:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005106

cases that we've done 22 days.

04:11:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005107

Anam nyo, Mr. Chairman, and I'd like to

04:12:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005108

put this on record. Minsan ho kasi

04:12:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005109

pinipilit ng ibang group na qualified

04:12:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005110

sila pero hindi naman ho sila nag-qualify.

04:12:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005111

That's where the miscommunication,

04:12:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005112

communications takes place.

04:12:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005113

A while ago, nabanggit ho namin na

04:12:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005114

the most successful groups are those that really

04:12:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005115

comply with the requirements. In fact, we've

04:12:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005116

streamlined this from a long

04:12:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005117

six-month period. Now, it's down

04:12:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005118

to 22 days. As long

04:12:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005119

as, one, you qualify

04:12:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005120

and number two,

04:12:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005121

kompleto yung mga requirements na sinasubmit

04:12:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005122

as in most of our programs.

04:12:30Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005123

Thank you for that,

04:12:32Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005124

Mr. Chair. We'll also submit

04:12:34Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005125

a list of complaints to you.

04:12:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005126

Yes, if you can give it to us so that we can

04:12:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005127

research it one by one and we can get back

04:12:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005128

to you on the sources why tumagal

04:12:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005129

sila. If you can hand it,

04:12:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005130

the Undersecretary for Legislative

04:12:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005131

Affairs is here. She will personally

04:12:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005132

hand it to me for us to look into it.

04:12:50Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005133

And, Mr.

04:12:52Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005134

Secretary, Mr. Chair,

04:12:54Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005135

can we also explore a different

04:12:55Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005136

model? Instead of giving

04:12:57Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005137

beneficiaries cash,

04:12:59Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005138

sa SLP po ito, and asking

04:13:01Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005139

them to start a business from scratch,

04:13:04Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005140

Can DSWD, would it

04:13:05Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005141

be possible for DSWD

04:13:07Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005147

to partner

04:13:08Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005148

with legitimate franchise or

04:13:10Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005149

established business operators?

04:13:12Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005150

For qualified beneficiaries

04:13:14Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005151

who choose that option,

04:13:16Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005152

could DSWD issue a guarantee

04:13:18Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005153

letter or similar direct payment

04:13:20Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005154

arrangement to the

04:13:22Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005155

accredited business so that

04:13:24Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005156

the beneficiary receives an actual

04:13:26Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005157

livelihood package or operating

04:13:28Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005158

business rather than cash?

04:13:30Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005159

Parang pag nag-job fair po tayo,

04:13:32Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005160

may mga, or SLP

04:13:34Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005161

fair, mayroon na pong

04:13:36Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005162

mga franchise doon, tapos pwede po

04:13:38Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005163

silang pumili.

04:13:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005164

Mr. Chairman, it's a good idea.

04:13:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005165

Nung pumasok ko sa departamento,

04:13:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005166

I had the same notion with all our programs.

04:13:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005167

But after four and a half years

04:13:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005168

in the department, I've

04:13:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005169

realized that the

04:13:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005170

core competency ng DSWD,

04:13:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005171

to be honest, is not the cash we give out.

04:13:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005172

It's the dignity and

04:13:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005173

empowerment that we teach our people.

04:14:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005174

Priceless, ako, I've been going around talking

04:14:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005175

to SLP groups, priceless yung

04:14:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005176

pagbigihin nila. Natutunan namin

04:14:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005177

magnegosyo at sinunod nyo yung gusto

04:14:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005178

namin rather than sinubu nyo sa amin.

04:14:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005179

In most of our programs,

04:14:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005180

from the Kalahi Seeds,

04:14:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005181

the Community Driven Development,

04:14:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005182

Lawat Binhi, the

04:14:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005183

social preparation na

04:14:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005184

binibigay namin actually empowers

04:14:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005185

them to decide their own fate.

04:14:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005186

I'm afraid

04:14:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005187

baka doon ho natin makalaban

04:14:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005188

yung notion of empowering

04:14:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005189

a community if we limit their

04:14:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005190

ability to choose for their

04:14:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005191

own. What we can do though

04:14:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005192

is always to partner up with

04:14:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005193

legitimate, sorry, with national government

04:14:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005194

agencies like DTI, Department of

04:14:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005195

Tourism, and for them to help us

04:14:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005196

in the capacity building. Ang

04:14:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005197

minakamalaking role namin, and kanina

04:14:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005198

na-discussed to is, for us to strengthen

04:14:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005199

as a room for improvement, the monitoring.

04:14:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005200

Masigurado namin na yung

04:14:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005201

pera napunta sa tama at naging matagumpay

04:14:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005202

yung negosyo.

04:15:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005203

is where we should be gauged on

04:15:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005204

and that is an area of improvement

04:15:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005205

that we should be working on.

04:15:06Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005206

Ayun lang naman din po ang

04:15:07Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005207

nais namin mangyari. Kasi

04:15:09Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005208

siyempre what we would like to avoid

04:15:12Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005209

is that we're just giving out, as you

04:15:14Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005210

said, dole-outs. And

04:15:16Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005211

rather, instead of, you know,

04:15:18Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005212

yung sinasabi nga nila na

04:15:19Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005213

teaching them to fish

04:15:21Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005214

instead of just

04:15:23Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005215

feeding them for a day.

04:15:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005216

Mr. Chairman, maybe as

04:15:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005217

a solution,

04:15:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005218

kasi yung SLP, like most of

04:15:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005219

our programs, were based on

04:15:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005220

obligation disbursement and

04:15:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005221

meeting the physical targets.

04:15:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005222

Baka we now have to propose to the

04:15:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005223

DBM the success rate. Yes.

04:15:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005224

Or the longevity of businesses.

04:15:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005225

So like a new

04:15:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005226

KRA for us.

04:15:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005227

Gano karami sa kanila

04:15:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005228

ang nagtagumpay, naging formal

04:15:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005229

at the end of the term of five years

04:15:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005230

ng isang SLP, para dun kami

04:15:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005231

sukatin, hindi yung sa gano karami yung nabigay

04:15:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005232

namin.

04:15:58Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005232-split-2

Tama po. And I agree with that

04:15:59Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005233

too.

04:16:00Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-005234

Totally, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chairman.

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005253

Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman.

04:16:42Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005254

You know, we have to also applaud

04:16:44Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005255

our chair. 2007,

04:16:47Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005256

nag-start yung

04:16:48Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005257

conditional cash transfer

04:16:50Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005258

with GMA. 2010,

04:16:53Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005259

it was scaled up

04:16:54Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005260

by President Pinoy.

04:16:56Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005261

There was World Bank funding.

04:16:58Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005262

Ang tawag nito sa 4PC4

04:17:00Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005263

was conditional

04:17:01Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005264

cash transfer. Later, it was named

04:17:04Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005265

4PC4. So, therefore,

04:17:06Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005266

a big hand to the defender. He defended

04:17:08Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005267

DSWD then. He's now

04:17:09Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005268

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005290

Yusek, Edu.

04:17:56Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005291

Mr. Chairman,

04:17:58Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005292

you know, the

04:17:59Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005293

DSWD

04:18:00Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005294

has been the primary force,

04:18:03Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005295

in helping the poor

04:18:05Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005296

and marginalized in our country.

04:18:07Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005297

St. John Paul II

04:18:09Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005298

said in his encyclical,

04:18:11Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005299

that the main mission of the Church

04:18:13Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005300

is to heed the call of the

04:18:15Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005301

poor and marginalized.

04:18:17Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005302

The rich people can take care of themselves

04:18:19Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005303

as long as we give a level playing field.

04:18:21Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005304

But the agency

04:18:23Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005305

tasked in providing

04:18:25Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005306

direct assistance

04:18:26Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005307

to our people, the poor and marginalized,

04:18:29Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005308

is the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

04:18:31Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005309

And we remember, Mr.

04:18:33Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005310

Chairman, in 1947,

04:18:36Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005311

President Rojas

04:18:37Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005312

organized, established

04:18:39Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005313

the Social Welfare Commission.

04:18:42Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005314

In 1951,

04:18:43Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005315

President Quirino

04:18:44Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005316

therefore organized

04:18:47Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005317

the Social Welfare Administration.

04:18:50Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005318

That is the history

04:18:51Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005319

of DSWD.

04:18:53Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005320

So now it's radical DSWD.

04:18:56Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005321

And of course,

04:18:57Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005322

in 1962, President

04:18:59Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005323

Bacapagal appointed

04:19:00Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005324

Teclas and Andresiga,

04:19:03Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005325

and I remember, I was in Gagay and Dioro,

04:19:05Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005326

my father was company manager

04:19:06Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005327

of the Liberal Party at the time,

04:19:08Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005328

and Teclas and Andresiga,

04:19:10Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005329

the secretary, the administrator pa,

04:19:13Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005330

of the Social Welfare Administration,

04:19:17Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005331

was in the House.

04:19:18Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005332

Teclas and Andresiga

04:19:20Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005333

went on to become

04:19:21Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005334

Senator of the Republic,

04:19:23Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005335

from Social Welfare Administration,

04:19:25Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005336

became Senator in 1963.

04:19:28Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005337

So I do not want to give

04:19:29Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005338

some, what's this,

04:19:32Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005339

lead on that.

04:19:33Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005340

Or where our secretary

04:19:35Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005341

will go in 2028.

04:19:38Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005343

Social Welfare Administration

04:19:41Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005344

became Senator in 1963.

04:19:44Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005345

So Mr. Chairman, I am just

04:19:45Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005346

really here to thank, you know,

04:19:48Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005347

our secretary

04:19:48Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005348

is always available.

04:19:51Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005349

My letters are always answered

04:19:53Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005350

immediately. My phone

04:19:55Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005351

calls before his,

04:19:57Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005352

before my bell rings

04:19:59Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005353

for him, he answers already.

04:20:00Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005354

My telepathy,

04:20:03Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005355

my secretary.

04:20:05Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005356

So every time, talagang

04:20:07Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005357

he is able to talk, I think,

04:20:09Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005358

Mr. Chairman,

04:20:11Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005359

everybody here is answered.

04:20:13Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005360

Your requests are answered by the secretary.

04:20:16Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005361

Therefore, Mr. Chairman,

04:20:18Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005362

I am compelled, therefore,

04:20:19Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005363

to move, not only

04:20:21Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005364

for the approval of the NEP project,

04:20:24Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005365

but the increase of the budget

04:20:25Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005366

of the DSWD

04:20:28Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005367

and attached agencies.

04:20:29Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005368

So I am just going to ask,

04:20:31Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005369

therefore, because you were reduced by

04:20:33Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005370

P235 billion, correct?

04:20:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005371

That's correct, Mr. Chair.

04:20:36Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005372

And the others also, CWC,

04:20:39Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005373

NCDA, were reduced

04:20:41Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005374

also,

04:20:43Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005375

[unclear], na-increase

04:20:45Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005376

ng konti is NACC

04:20:47Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005377

and NCSC,

04:20:49Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005378

Senior Citizens, they are

04:20:51Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005379

asking for more. But then there's even

04:20:53Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005380

no budget

04:20:54Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005381

for the LGBT

04:20:56Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005382

and affairs. We are

04:20:59Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005383

certainly very, very, you know,

04:21:01Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005384

we are really supportive.

04:21:03Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005385

We are supporting the special committee

04:21:05Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005386

and we also would like to get the budget

04:21:07Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005387

for the LGBT plus

04:21:09Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005388

affairs of other secretaries.

04:21:11Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005389

Seasonal Secretary Raymond Mazo.

04:21:14Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005390

So now, I would like to ask you,

04:21:15Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005391

we cannot give back the P235 billion

04:21:18Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005392

because of fiscal space,

04:21:19Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005393

but can you give us a list?

04:21:21Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005394

I've always talked to our chairperson,

04:21:24Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005395

Ika Swansing,

04:21:25Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005396

and in other agencies,

04:21:27Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005397

they give reasonable

04:21:28Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005398

augmentation because

04:21:30Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005399

grabe ang dedaksyon sa inyo

04:21:32Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005400

and also,

04:21:33Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005401

may we know

04:21:35Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005402

what will be the priority

04:21:37Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005403

restoration. I heard

04:21:39Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005404

that the 800 capital outlay

04:21:41Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005405

that's good is approved.

04:21:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005406

Mr. Chairman, we have submitted a list

04:21:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005407

to the committee.

04:21:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005408

We can copy it.

04:21:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005409

Just to read it out loud

04:21:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005410

briefly, Mr. Chairman.

04:21:52Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005411

The priority ones, and then how much

04:21:55Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005412

the total, so that we will be able

04:21:57Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005413

to convince in the BARC

04:21:59Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005414

the committee review of the budget

04:22:01Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005415

with the vice, I am a vice chairman,

04:22:03Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005416

vice chairman also, Raman here,

04:22:06Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005417

and all the others who are vice chairmen,

04:22:08Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005418

we will work for the restoration,

04:22:10Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005419

a reasonable restoration of the

04:22:11Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005420

priority projects of the DSWD.

04:22:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005421

Mr. Chair, good congressman,

04:22:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005422

the top of the list is

04:22:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005423

the AICS program.

04:22:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005424

I cannot overemphasize that we lost

04:22:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005425

30 billion. Kahit yun lang ho,

04:22:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005426

may ibalik lang yung 30 billion,

04:22:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005427

makakatulong na ho yun sa apat na million

04:22:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005428

na pamilya.

04:22:29Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005429

How much will you request?

04:22:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005430

We asked for 43, pero sa

04:22:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005431

totoo lang ho, kung kaya lang mabalik sa

04:22:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005432

current amount na 30 billion, then that

04:22:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005433

should be suffice for the department to operate

04:22:39Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005434

comfortably. Okay, the first one is

04:22:41Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005435

AICS. In the amount of 30 billion?

04:22:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005436

We lost 30 billion.

04:22:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005437

So how much have we asked for?

04:22:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005438

We're asking for 43, pero sumuntok lang ho kami sa buwan.

04:22:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005439

Pero sa totoo lang ho, 30, we will be

04:22:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005440

restored back to the original GAA level

04:22:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005441

of 2025.

04:22:57Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005442

Which is how much?

04:22:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005443

63 billion.

04:23:00Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005444

63, yeah, we will work for that.

04:23:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005445

Number two, Mr. Chairman, again,

04:23:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005446

ulit-ulit ho ako dito, social pension.

04:23:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005447

Enough to cover for everybody already.

04:23:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005448

That's another 6.8.

04:23:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005449

And then, of course,

04:23:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005450

6.8 billion.

04:23:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005451

And then, the programs

04:23:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005452

under USEC Punay, these are the

04:23:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005453

smaller programs that are very promising.

04:23:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005454

For instance, the

04:23:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005455

food stamps expansion

04:23:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005456

by another 1.9

04:23:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005457

billion.

04:23:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005458

Then, the Tarabasa

04:23:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005459

tutoring program for 456

04:23:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005460

million.

04:23:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005461

And then, the social technology

04:23:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005462

bureau that has the

04:23:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005463

new programs for teenage mothers,

04:23:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005464

for families with special needs children,

04:23:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005465

and online sexual abuse combating it,

04:23:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005466

178.8 million.

04:23:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005467

And lastly, Mr. Chairman,

04:23:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005468

sustainable...

04:23:51Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005469

What's that again? 178.4?

04:23:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005470

For the social technology bureau.

04:23:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005471

And then, Mr. Chairman, the social...

04:23:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005472

the SLP,

04:23:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005473

the sustainable livelihood program that has

04:24:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005474

taken center stage in today's discussion.

04:24:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005475

A conservative of

04:24:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005476

1 billion pesos, Mr. Chair.

04:24:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005477

Mr. Chair,

04:24:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005478

meron pa ko kasing iba dito, and I don't

04:24:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005479

want to behove the writing, the

04:24:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005480

taking down of the notes, but we will gladly

04:24:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005481

submit. Ang total po nito...

04:24:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005482

We still have a total,

04:24:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005483

but we will furnish you, Mr. Chairman, this copy of

04:24:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005484

the letter that we already wrote you.

04:24:25Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005485

So, it is in the priority,

04:24:27Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005486

but there is a prioritization.

04:24:29Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005487

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

04:24:30Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005488

It's all we can have ordered.

04:24:31Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005489

Because of fiscal space, we're not able

04:24:33Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005490

to give everything, but

04:24:34Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005491

I am sure that because

04:24:37Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005492

you are the primary agency

04:24:38Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005493

taking care of

04:24:41Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005494

the poor and marginalized,

04:24:43Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005495

as John Paul II said,

04:24:45Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005496

the main mission of the church, as

04:24:47Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005497

John Paul II said, the main

04:24:49Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005498

mission of the church is to

04:24:50Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005499

heed the call of the poor and the marginalized.

04:24:53Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005500

So, we should be able to,

04:24:55Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005501

with our chairperson,

04:24:57Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005502

be able to propose this in our

04:24:59Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005503

meeting of the vice chair,

04:25:01Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005504

and be able, probably not everything that's

04:25:03Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005505

there, but there should be some

04:25:05Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005506

restoration.

04:25:06Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005507

To be able to make sure that you

04:25:09Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005508

continue with that, Mr. Chairman.

04:25:11Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005509

So, I'd like to ask Gabby here,

04:25:13Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005510

what does she need?

04:25:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005511

Maybe, excuse me quickly, while Gabby Concepcion,

04:25:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005512

the actor, narrates her list.

04:25:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005513

Just to go to the comfort room.

04:25:25Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005514

Mr. Chair, can you approve

04:25:26Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005515

his comfort room request?

04:25:27Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-005516

Yes, certainly.

04:25:28Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-005517

Certainly.

04:25:30Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-005518

May we recognize

04:25:31Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-005519

Ma'am Gab Concepcion?

04:25:36Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005520

Maraming salamat po

04:25:38Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005521

Cong. Roderick Rufus.

04:25:41Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005522

Para po sa National Authority

04:25:43Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005523

for Child Care, of course, marami po

04:25:45Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005524

sana kaming gustong hingin

04:25:47Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005525

para sa mga leaking roofs

04:25:49Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005526

and offices in the regional offices.

04:25:52Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005527

Pero yung primary concern po

04:25:53Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005528

namin, maliit lang naman po

04:25:55Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005529

yung hinihingin namin. Meron po kasi kaming

04:25:57Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005530

augmented social

04:25:59Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005531

workers in the different

04:26:01Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005532

regions.

04:26:03Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005533

Ang binigay lang po sa

04:26:05Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005534

current

04:26:06Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005535

NEP ay 13 million.

04:26:08Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005536

But the basic compensation

04:26:10Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005537

for these 42 social workers

04:26:12Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005538

amounts to 21 million

04:26:14Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005539

without considering their travel

04:26:16Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005540

expenses and lodging expenses

04:26:18Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005541

that they will incur during their deployment.

04:26:21Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-005542

So, at the very least,

04:26:23Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

04:31:00Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

At matapos kong marinig ang lahat ng sinabi ni Congressman Rufus, kung papaano niyang i-liven yung Congress,

04:31:13Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-005657

kanina po'y nakikinig rin ako doon sa mga iba kong kasama kahit na nasa likod at marami po kami.

04:31:25Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-005658

Tunay po na marapat na ang departamento ninyo ay mapagbigyan ng tamang atensyon,

04:31:40Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-005659

dahil hindi nga natin alam ang panahon.

04:31:43Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-005660

At yung panahon po ay sumasalungat sa sinasabi. Kung sabi may El Niño, eh hindi pala El Niño.

04:31:56Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-005661

Eh kailangan po preparado yung departamento ninyo. It's better to be prepared than caught unaware.

04:32:10Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-005662

Si Secretary po ay nakausap ko na po at pinakinggan ko na po lahat ng inyong mga undersecretary

04:32:24Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-005663

at ang lahat po ng regional director. And I think it's unfair na sinabi lang ni

04:32:32Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-005664

Cong. Rufus yung regional director niya. Dapat po lahat ng regional director ng inyo pong tanggapan ay i-commend.

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

asr-005665

At naniniwala po ako na

04:32:53Source

Rep. Julius Cesar "Jay" V. Vergara

sa bagay na iyon, ang aking asawa po'y minsan ay

04:32:56Source

naging chairman ng social services, and

04:33:01Source

04:35:30Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005736

we're not able to present.

04:35:33Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005737

So we're late in our way.

04:35:36Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005738

But, yeah,

04:35:37Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005739

but having

04:35:39Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005740

proposed the P35 million,

04:35:42Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005741

it was

04:35:43Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005742

of course denied

04:35:45Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005743

by the DBM.

04:35:47Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005744

And even we made a counterproposal,

04:35:51Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005745

actually, of P8 million.

04:35:53Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005746

And still, it's been denied.

04:35:57Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005747

The P35 million budget proposal is

04:36:03Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005748

for—wait lang.

04:36:11Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005749

yeah, it's for first policy planning

04:36:14Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005750

and second, evidence and accountability,

04:36:17Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005751

three consultative mechanisms,

04:36:18Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005752

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005755

six, rights promotion and service directory,

04:36:29Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005756

and of course, program, M&E, and learning.

04:36:32Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005757

So this is in national scope, sana.

04:36:36Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005758

In order to come up with policies and programs,

04:36:38Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005759

of course, na realistic,

04:36:41Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005760

we need to conduct more dialogue

04:36:44Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005761

po with the community.

04:36:46Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005762

So yung P35 million po,

04:36:48Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005763

yun po yung gagawin po namin

04:36:50Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-005764

asr-005765

Okay, ma'am, thank you.

04:36:55Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-005766

So ibig sabihin po,

04:36:56Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-005767

wala po talagang nakalagay na budget

04:36:58Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

asr-005768

for LGBT.

04:37:00Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

So lahat po ng inyong programs,

04:37:02Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

04:37:04Source

Rep. Ma. Cristina Talavera Lopez

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005891

Well,

04:41:18Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005892

ahem,

04:41:21Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005893

DSWD's

04:41:23Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005894

obligation rate,

04:41:25Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005895

obligation rate remained

04:41:27Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005896

relatively high.

04:41:29Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005897

But deteriorated slightly

04:41:31Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005898

in 2026. In fact,

04:41:33Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005899

historically,

04:41:35Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005900

in 2023, your

04:41:37Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005901

obligation rate is 96.5.

04:41:39Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005902

In 2024,

04:41:41Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005903

it's 97.5.

04:41:43Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005904

And in 2025,

04:41:45Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005905

it's 96.9%

04:41:47Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005906

obligational rate.

04:41:49Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005907

However, translated into

04:41:51Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005908

cash

04:41:53Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005909

value, this

04:41:55Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005910

unobligated amount

04:41:57Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005911

04:41:59Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005912

vicinity of 11 billion

04:42:01Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005913

pesos po, na anyos amount.

04:42:03Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005914

I hope my figure

04:42:05Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005915

is wrong.

04:42:07Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005916

Ah, pero ito ho, ang nakuha

04:42:09Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005917

naming figure, that there is

04:42:11Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005918

still unobligated amount of 11.6

04:42:13Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005919

billion. For 2026,

04:42:15Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005920

Mr. Chair, just to clarify.

04:42:17Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005921

2025, 2025. No, no more.

04:42:19Source

04:42:55Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005940

And again, Mr.

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005941

Secretary, in my

04:42:59Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005942

04:43:01Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005945

2024

04:43:07Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005946

to 91.5

04:43:09Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005947

in 2025.

04:43:11Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005948

But

04:43:13Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005949

still, it's 23 billion

04:43:15Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005950

04:43:17Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005951

Again.

04:43:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005952

Mr. Chairman, this is the slide.

04:43:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005953

I'm not sure if the good congressman can see it.

04:43:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005954

That shows the disbursement of

04:43:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005955

the 2025. As you can see,

04:43:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005956

Mr. Chairman,

04:43:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005957

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005960

So yung natitira ho yung mga

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005961

unpaid,

04:43:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005962

Mr. Chairman, the small amount,

04:43:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005963

again, let me repeat, na sa

04:43:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005964

98.13% na yung disbursement namin,

04:43:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005965

yung natitirang 2%, ODA

04:43:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005966

ho yun na hindi na ho

04:44:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005967

nagmaterialize because tapos na yung program

04:44:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005968

and it's now being reverted back

04:44:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005969

to the Treasury kasi

04:44:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005970

these are savings or yung mga hindi

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005973

04:44:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005973-split-2

But let

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005974

me assure you that these are not grants.

04:44:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005975

Not in the AICs, not in the

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-005976

04:44:20Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

04:44:40Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005987

since it was

04:44:42Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005988

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005997

ilang percent and so on and so forth

04:45:01Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005998

04:45:03Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

asr-005999

useless in the investment

04:45:05Source

Rep. Romeo S. Momo Sr.

04:45:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

Yung sa AECS, it has been

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006175

a great help, especially in our

04:51:06Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006176

areas, which are

04:51:07Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006177

typhoon-prone

04:51:10Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006178

areas, yung

04:51:12Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006179

Southern Leyte. We've been

04:51:14Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006180

hit by Odette

04:51:15Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006181

and Tino recently,

04:51:18Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006182

yung malaking typhoon Tino.

04:51:20Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006183

And a lot of our assistance

04:51:22Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006184

from burial, transportation,

04:51:25Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006185

educational assistance,

04:51:27Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006186

and with now, with the

04:51:28Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006187

scarcity of MAEP,

04:51:29Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006188

medical assistance,

04:51:31Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006189

talagang galing talaga sa office

04:51:33Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006190

ninyo. So, talagang malaking tulong

04:51:36Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006191

sa amin yun. And what more

04:51:38Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006192

if we could put up

04:51:39Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006193

satellite offices, no?

04:51:42Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006194

Mas malapit sa tao,

04:51:44Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006195

para naman hindi, kasi

04:51:45Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006196

sinasama na sa

04:51:47Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006197

hinihingi yung pamiliti, tsaka pagkain,

04:51:50Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006198

pupunta sa

04:51:51Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006199

regional office, dahil medyo

04:51:53Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006200

malayo nga. So,

04:51:55Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006201

wala naman sigurong congressman dito.

04:51:57Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006202

I think most of us

04:51:59Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006203

would like,

04:52:01Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006204

na mag-invest yung government

04:52:04Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006205

into a multi-purpose

04:52:06Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006206

building through our BIPs,

04:52:08Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006207

na matayuan ng sariling satellite office

04:52:10Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006208

each district, para naman

04:52:12Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006209

mas malapit sa tao yung

04:52:14Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006210

tulong. And

04:52:15Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006211

mas maraming matutulungan pa.

04:52:18Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006212

And of course, the warehouse,

04:52:19Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006213

which during calamity,

04:52:22Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006214

disaster response would be

04:52:24Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006215

strategically available

04:52:26Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006216

with ISPO.

04:52:27Source

Rep. Christopherson "Coco" M. Yap

asr-006217

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

asr-006226

asr-006250

to your staff sa ground,

04:53:46Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006251

di ba, na napakalaki

04:53:48Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006252

ng tulong. But I just

04:53:49Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006253

wish to ask, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair,

04:53:53Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006254

yung program ng

04:53:53Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006255

LAWA at BINHI.

04:53:56Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006256

Medyo nabawasan yata tayo,

04:53:58Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006257

Mr. Secretary, dito sa

04:53:59Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006258

program natin.

04:54:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006259

Mr. Chair, actually,

04:54:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006260

actually,

04:54:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006261

it's in the

04:54:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006262

stagnant naman ho siya,

04:54:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006263

status quo, Mr. Chair.

04:54:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006264

Hindi siya nabawasan,

04:54:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006265

pero humihiling ho kami nadagdagan.

04:54:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006266

Pero hindi siya nabawasan. It's in the

04:54:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006267

DRRP line item.

04:54:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006268

So, magkamukha lang ho siya.

04:54:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006269

Pero ang nabawasan ng ho in implementation

04:54:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006270

because of the wage increase.

04:54:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006271

So, the amount, the global amount is

04:54:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006272

the same, pero the implementation, siyempre,

04:54:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006273

lumiit yung catchment dahil tumaas yung wage

04:54:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006274

hike, yung wage rates.

04:54:33Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006275

Yes, that's correct. Tama,

04:54:35Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006276

Mr. Secretary, but I think

04:54:37Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006277

mahalaga kasi na mataasan to.

04:54:39Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006278

What's the premise? I'm just curious

04:54:41Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006279

what would be the premise of

04:54:43Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006280

DBM?

04:54:45Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006281

Did you ask for an increase

04:54:46Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006282

during the budget call?

04:54:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006283

We did, Mr. Chair.

04:54:58Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006284

Magkano hiningin natin?

04:54:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006285

We're checking how much ang hiningin namin sa tier 2.

04:55:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006286

Kasi nga, we were taking into account

04:55:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006287

naliliit yung catchment dahil tumaas yung

04:55:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006288

wages. But unfortunately, hindi kami

04:55:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006289

napagbigyan because nga of the tight

04:55:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006290

fiscal space.

04:55:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006291

We asked for the total amount

04:55:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006292

is 3.3 billion compared to the

04:55:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006293

2.8, sorry, 1.8

04:55:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006294

that's in the books right now.

04:55:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006295

So, 1.1 billion.

04:55:22Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006296

Okay. So,

04:55:23Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006297

would there be an explanation from DBM

04:55:26Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006298

ba't hindi kayo pinagbigyan, Mr. Chair?

04:55:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006299

Tight fiscal space, Mr. Chair.

04:55:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006300

All the cuts na hindi kami napagbigyan,

04:55:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006301

all the departments were, and I do

04:55:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006302

understand, clamoring for more, and

04:55:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006303

isa to doon sa mahiningin namin na hindi napagbigyan.

04:55:38Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006304

Yes, thank you. I raise this point, Mr.

04:55:40Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006305

Chair, Mr. Secretary, kasi

04:55:42Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006306

I think this is a brainchild

04:55:44Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006307

of yours, diba, this program.

04:55:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006308

Actually, Mr. Chair, it's a brainchild

04:55:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006309

of the team, na hindi lang naman ako.

04:55:50Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006310

Yes, so I wish to

04:55:52Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006311

once again commend DSWD and the

04:55:54Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006312

Secretary.

04:55:56Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006313

Siyempre kasi nanggaling to sa, dahil

04:55:58Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006314

sa El Nino yata, yung issue natin

04:56:00Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006315

noon. And I think,

04:56:02Source

as PAGASA predicted, this is the worst.

04:56:05Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006317

El Nino, we will be

04:56:06Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006318

facing next year.

04:56:08Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006319

So, I don't understand

04:56:10Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006320

kung bakit hindi kayo pinagbigyan

04:56:12Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006321

dito na napakahalaga

04:56:14Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006322

at napakaganda at tested na programa na ito.

04:56:16Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006323

So,

04:56:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006324

Tama ho, Mr. Chair.

04:56:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006325

Coming from the long-standing chairman

04:56:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006326

of the Agri Committee, the

04:56:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006327

small water impoundment

04:56:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006328

that's community-based that's happening

04:56:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006329

nationwide, the thousands that we've built over

04:56:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006330

the years, are actually helping in food

04:56:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006331

security and water security.

04:56:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006332

So, sana, bagamat hindi na

04:56:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006333

namin nilista sa napakahaba namin

04:56:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006334

listahan, sana ho makonsider again

04:56:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006335

yung pagdagdag ng

04:56:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006336

budget for the LAWA at BINHI, which

04:56:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006337

is housed under the Disaster Resilience,

04:56:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006338

Program of the Department.

04:56:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006339

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair.

04:56:51Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006340

Also, Mr. Chair, I think you

04:56:52Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006341

do have a program for potable water

04:56:55Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006342

systems needed

04:56:56Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006343

for

04:56:57Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006344

emergency areas

04:57:01Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006345

na mga

04:57:01Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006346

mga siguro

04:57:04Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006347

disaster hit areas.

04:57:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006348

Mr. Chairman, the pilot that's

04:57:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006349

running right now is housed in the

04:57:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006350

community-driven development.

04:57:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006351

We are actually about, we're

04:57:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006352

not looking at it just from a paradigm of

04:57:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006353

emergency response, but we're looking at those

04:57:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006354

communities na walang potable

04:57:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006355

and constant source

04:57:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006356

of water. So, we embarked on

04:57:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006357

this pilot that we're about to open in

04:57:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006358

Masbate, where an island has been

04:57:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006359

suffering from chronic water

04:57:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006360

shortage. It's an air-to-waters

04:57:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006361

technology that hopefully

04:57:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006362

works. And from all indications,

04:57:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006363

it was working. Medyo nahirapan lang kami

04:57:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006364

to get the necessary certifications

04:57:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006365

na yung lumalabas sa tubig e pasado.

04:57:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006366

But now, everything's online.

04:57:44Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006367

Yes, thank you. Mr. Chair, so,

04:57:46Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006368

would the good secretary be supporting

04:57:48Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006369

such an initiative that

04:57:49Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006370

we increase the, is it part of the

04:57:52Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006371

proposal for the augmentation?

04:57:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006372

Mr. Chairman, we did not put it

04:57:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006373

there because ang haba-haba na ng listahan

04:57:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006374

namin, medyo nahiharing kami dahil 58

04:58:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006375

billion na ho yung listahan namin.

04:58:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006376

Pero kung gusto ho nyo, ilalagay ho namin doon.

04:58:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006377

It's part of the

04:58:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006378

community-driven development

04:58:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006379

portfolio. Kalahi yan.

04:58:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006380

Kalahi seeds yan.

04:58:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006381

Matutuwa ho yung director namin dyan kasi nga

04:58:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006382

hindi na namin sinubmit yung mahabang listahan.

04:58:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006383

We submitted to you an abridged

04:58:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006384

long list. But Mr. Chairman,

04:58:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006385

chronic water shortage

04:58:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006386

not just during times of disaster

04:58:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006387

is a problem that we have to deal with.

04:58:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006388

Stunting is related to that.

04:58:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006389

And then, yung

04:58:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006390

pag tinamaan tayo ng disaster and we have to pull

04:58:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006391

those mobile equipment,

04:58:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006392

napakahirap logistically

04:58:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006393

like what's happening in our disaster site.

04:58:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006394

So, we're looking at it from a cost efficiency

04:58:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006395

of both. Addressing chronic water

04:58:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006396

shortage for stunting and

04:58:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006397

waterless communities, but a permanent

04:58:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006398

solution kung tamaan

04:58:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006399

sila ng disaster. So, we

04:58:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006400

will be submitting

04:58:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006401

now that you've directed us to do so.

04:58:55Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006402

Yes, thank you. So, we hope

04:58:56Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006403

that medyo

04:58:58Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006404

miiling lang si Yusek da yan.

04:59:00Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006405

Parang nung sinasabi.

04:59:03Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006406

Doon sa support.

04:59:04Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006407

But anyway, Mr. Secretary, so

04:59:06Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006408

I guess this is something important that

04:59:08Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006409

of course it's a wish list

04:59:10Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006410

that we will be

04:59:12Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006411

supporting. Especially

04:59:14Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006412

after hearing from your, with your

04:59:16Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006413

explanation, doon sa need, of the

04:59:18Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006414

need of the mobile water

04:59:20Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006415

potable water systems.

04:59:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006416

Mr. Chairman, both accounts are crucial.

04:59:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006417

Small community-based

04:59:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006418

water impounding,

04:59:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006419

LAWA at BINHI. Long-term

04:59:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006420

solutions for, long-term

04:59:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006421

solution for waterless communities.

04:59:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006422

These are basic necessities.

04:59:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006423

Water necessity. This is

04:59:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006424

a basic necessity. So, we will

04:59:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006425

amend our submission to include

04:59:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006426

LAWA at BINHI and the

04:59:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006427

potable,

04:59:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006428

water, 20 million lang po yun eh.

04:59:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006429

Water

04:59:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006430

solution for waterless communities.

04:59:53Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006431

Oh, thank you very much, Mr.

04:59:55Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006432

Secretary. So,

04:59:56Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006433

may I know if may

04:59:58Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006434

our regional

05:00:00Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006435

Director is also present.

05:00:02Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006436

Hindi kasi sumasagot sa mga tawag ko yata.

05:00:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006437

Ayan, ayan.

05:00:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006438

Nasaan si Barry?

05:00:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006439

...

05:00:11Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006440

Yeah, yeah.

05:00:11Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006441

...

05:00:12Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006442

Maraming maraming salamat sa support.

05:00:14Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006443

So, with that, Mr. Secretary, we fully support your budget and we look forward to the additional submissions to this Honorable Committee, Mr. Chair, na masuportahan pa natin yung pangangailangan ninyo.

05:00:26Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006444

Thank you very much.

05:00:27Source

Rep. Wilfrido Mark M. Enverga

asr-006445

Congratulations, Mr. Secretary.

05:00:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006446

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

05:00:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006447

Thank you, Congressman Enverga.

05:00:31Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

05:00:39Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-006449

Mark, we would like to acknowledge Deputy Majority Leader, Kong Howard Ginto, Representative Guido Garbin, and Representative Dino Yulo.

05:01:00Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-006450

We

05:01:02Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-006458

proceed. We recognize Kong Howard.

05:01:13Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006458-split-2

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon to the DSWD family,

05:01:16Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006459

Secretary Rex. First and foremost, I would like to thank our good secretary. Last year,

05:01:23Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006460

October and November, we suffered a, I couldn't explain what it was. It's the hardest time

05:01:32Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006461

in our province. And the secretary, together with his team, was there immediately. I think

05:01:52Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006462

it was only overnight or in the two nights with, excuse me, Diane, was there. And not

05:01:59Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006463

just once, but twice in a span.

05:02:02Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006464

So, Mr. Secretary, thank you for your prompt response. With that, I would like to ask about

05:02:13Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006465

the Kalahe program. As we mentioned, during that calamity, marami po sa aming mga small

05:02:19Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006466

bridges, kasi marami po kami mga island barangay, talaga pong na-wipe out. And in this small

05:02:27Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006467

barangay, meron pong mga eskwelahan. And I just don't have the pictures right now.

05:02:32Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006468

May mga estudyante po kaming tumatawid po papunta sa isang eskwelahan na tumatawid ng tubig

05:02:38Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006469

na hanggang bewang po yung ano, because na-wipe out po yung kanilang mga foot bridges. So,

05:02:43Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006470

we wanted to ask how, what are the parameters or requirements in availing of this program?

05:02:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006471

Mr. Chairman, yung Kalahe kasi is a big line item. Marami ang laman. There's zero in.

05:03:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006472

So, we have one GOP na local funded, which is to the amount of 300 million.

05:03:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006473

The locally funded is around 300 million. Now, the criteria is very simple. We look at the poverty incidents. We look at the capacity of the LGU.

05:03:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006474

na nakaraan ba ay maganda

05:03:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006475

yung implementasyon. Kasi kung

05:03:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006476

matatandaan natin, may counterparting ito.

05:03:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006477

The whole concept is empowering the community, ownership of the community, pero mag-front kayo ng 20%, not in cash but in sweat equity.

05:03:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006478

Now, yung KALAHI, the bigger program itself, that was running for 20, 30 years, naubos na ho yung pondo niya

05:03:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006479

because it's a World Bank loan

05:03:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006480

that was extinguished last year.

05:04:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006481

Ang successor program niya is called the Panahon ng Pagkilos.

05:04:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006482

It's a line item again.

05:04:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006483

Pretty much the same concept, except that it looks for disaster resilience program as an added dimension.

05:04:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006484

So poverty, stunting, presence of vulnerable communities, including IPs,

05:04:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006485

and the prevalence of disasters so that we can come up with disaster-resilient plans or sub-projects.

05:04:25Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006486

And do we have any budget allocated for this for the following fiscal year?

05:04:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006487

Meron po, because it's an ODA.

05:04:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006488

But like most ODAs, naka-prescribed na when we submitted the list of target LGUs.

05:04:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006489

What we can do right now is to submit to the committee and your office the different LGUs that made the cut for CAPIS,

05:04:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006490

both for locally funded and at the same time for the ODA that I mentioned for community-driven development.

05:04:54Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006491

Thank you for that.

05:04:55Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006492

Secretary, and right now, could you say that the requested budget is sufficient?

05:05:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006493

It never is, Mr. Chairman.

05:05:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006494

And we hope that you can also look into this.

05:05:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006495

Pero pahabaan na ng pahabaan listahan namin.

05:05:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006496

Baka hindi na talaga kami ma-entertain.

05:05:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006497

Kasi dagdag kami ng dagdag sa listahan.

05:05:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006498

But it's a good program because it empowers communities and it brings development into the far-flung areas.

05:05:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006499

Maliit man yung proyekto, but meaningful.

05:05:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

Kasi katulad ng sinabi nyo, tulay na araw-araw ginagamit.

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006501

Water system na araw-araw ginagamit.

05:05:28Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006502

Tama po, Mr. Chair.

05:05:29Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006503

We'll see.

05:05:30Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006504

Maybe our appropriations may allocate additional budget for that.

05:05:36Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006505

My next question, although actually it's been raised already several times by our fellow congressmen,

05:05:41Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006506

so I think I would just manifest.

05:05:43Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006507

The SLP program that you have established is really helping a lot of associations,

05:05:51Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006508

not just in my district, but nationwide.

05:05:55Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006509

And I hope our Committee on Appropriations may add, I heard that kulang po ng P1 billion, tama po, based on our request.

05:06:09Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006510

Our Vice Chairman of Appropriations is here.

05:06:13Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006511

Maybe we can prioritize ito pong SLP.

05:06:18Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006512

Karamihan po ng mga congressmen, naninig po natin, ito, much favored po nila talaga yung SLP program.

05:06:24Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006513

Because it not just empowers the communities, it really changes the lives of our constituents.

05:06:31Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006514

So with that, I would like to end my manifestation.

05:06:37Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006515

Mr. Chair, yun lang po.

05:06:38Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006516

Baka pwede po natin tugunan yung pangailangan ng DSWD with regards to the SLP program.

05:06:44Source

Rep. Ivan Howard A. Guintu

asr-006517

Maraming salamat po.

05:06:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006518

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

05:07:03Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006523

Good afternoon, my colleagues, most especially good afternoon to the whole DSWD family.

05:07:07Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006524

Secretary, good afternoon.

05:07:09Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006525

This is quite short, just a manifestation.

05:07:12Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006526

Our district is heavily ravaged by Typhoon Tino.

05:07:16Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006527

I think many of you were there.

05:07:18Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006528

We had a number of hanging bridges then built under the Kalahi Seeds program.

05:07:24Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006529

I think almost all were destroyed during the Typhoon Tino.

05:07:28Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006530

So maybe you can take a look at those hanging bridges.

05:07:32Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006531

But more importantly, we'd just like to thank you and commend the DSWD.

05:07:38Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006532

Our district was not only ravaged by Typhoon Tino, we have underwent maybe four or five eruptions of Mount Kanlaon and just recently the devastation of the sugar industry with the red-striped soft scale insect.

05:07:53Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006533

In all of this, I think our able partner has been the DSWD.

05:07:56Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006534

So thank you.

05:07:58Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006535

Secretary, the whole DSWD family, and a special commendation to our, I don't know if it's here, our regional director, Director Arwin.

05:08:07Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006536

Thank you, regional director Arwin.

05:08:09Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006537

Thank you, sir.

05:08:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006538

Mr. Chair, we'll look into those Kalahi bridges.

05:08:12Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006539

Yes, please.

05:08:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006540

We'll make sure that we get the list of the ones that were destroyed and try to figure out what we can do to repair them.

05:08:17Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006541

Okay, thank you.

05:08:18Source

Rep. Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo

asr-006542

Thank you, Chair.

05:08:33Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006548

Magandang hapon po to the SEC.

05:08:35Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006549

Magandang hapon to the DSWD family.

05:08:38Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006550

My question pertains to the implementation of Republic Act 9344.

05:08:44Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006551

Since the DSWD is at the center of implementing the diversion program through the Juvenile Justice Council,

05:09:00Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006552

the recent event, one that happened in Tacloban, the other one in Zamboanga,

05:09:11Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006553

discloses some of the loopholes and weaknesses of the existing law.

05:09:20Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006554

Some of the findings were the failure because of the,

05:09:27Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006555

the functional, lack of functional well-budgeted establishment,

05:09:39Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006556

especially referring to the Bahay Pag-asa that will manage the intervention program of these children in conflict with the law.

05:09:55Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006557

May I inquire, Mr. Secretary, whether the proposed budget,

05:10:01Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006559

for 2027 includes a budget for the establishment of Bahay Pag-asa in different localities,

05:10:08Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006560

especially in big cities and urban areas?

05:10:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006561

That's a very relevant and timely question.

05:10:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006562

In the JJWA, the LGUs are the ones tasked to build and fund and operate the Bahay Pag-asas.

05:10:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006563

The DSWD's main role is to set the standards,

05:10:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006564

to monitor the progress of the intervention programs.

05:10:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006565

Pero years later, we have given the data na highly urbanized cities don't have Bahay Pag-asas,

05:10:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006566

a lot of the provinces do not.

05:10:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006567

Kaya nga kanina nung tinanong ako,

05:10:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006568

is it time to revisit the JJWA?

05:10:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006569

Yes, in the sense na dapat natin lagyan ng provision for the national government to step in already,

05:10:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006570

because hindi natin makita yung full fruition ng restorative justice kung wala hong mga Bahay Pag-asa na ito.

05:10:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006571

Pangalawa,

05:10:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006572

last year, because of the lack of Bahay Pag-asa,

05:10:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006573

the Congress and the Senate gave us a new creature called the Regional Bahay Pag-asa.

05:11:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006574

Five.

05:11:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006575

We're not fully funded, initially funded.

05:11:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006576

We're still waiting for the SARO to be released,

05:11:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006577

pero we're constantly following up because naka-for-later-release siya.

05:11:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006578

But the authorities in DBM understand the magnitude na kailangan masimulan na ito.

05:11:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006579

But Mr. Chairman, let me point out na bagama't wala yang mga Bahay Pag-asa,

05:11:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006580

meron pang isang provision na last year nilagay sa libro ng DSWD, or sa budget ng DSWD.

05:11:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006581

Yun yung ability namin na mag-farm out ng services for private social welfare and development agencies,

05:11:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006582

kasi may mga private naman eh,

05:11:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006583

na pwede kami magbayad ng cost of care.

05:11:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006584

So inaantay na lang namin yung final go signal because the guidelines are being drafted already,

05:11:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006585

together with DBM and COA.

05:11:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006586

Once we do that, we can now refer clients to

05:11:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006587

existing private facilities that can rehabilitate

05:11:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006588

and hopefully reintegrate with the right intervention plan,

05:12:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006589

our CICLs.

05:12:04Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006590

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

05:12:07Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006591

I fully understand the situation of the SWD.

05:12:13Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006592

But as you know, those referrals will only be very limited,

05:12:18Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006593

especially if cases such as Samboanga Tacloban

05:12:24Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006594

and cases that will happen in far-flung areas.

05:12:28Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006595

And so before we speak of intervention and their version program

05:12:33Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006596

that could be implemented by the council to be managed by DSWD,

05:12:37Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006597

I hope that the national government will also have an intervention

05:12:42Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006598

in giving funds to those localities that can,

05:12:46Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006599

because not everyone can afford this Bahay Pag-asa.

05:12:51Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006600

And I hope that this,

05:12:54Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006601

intervention by the national government in coming up with those funds

05:12:59Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006602

to be allocated for those local government units

05:13:02Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006603

and that can maintain this Bahay Pag-asa.

05:13:05Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006604

My second question is,

05:13:07Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006605

considering that there were so many proposals

05:13:12Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006606

in lowering the age of criminal responsibility,

05:13:17Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006607

what is your take on this several proposals?

05:13:23Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006608

Well, some are saying that the innocence that we are protecting

05:13:28Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006609

20 years ago when we adopt and approve this law,

05:13:36Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006610

Republic Act 9344,

05:13:38Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006611

is no longer existing in this present time,

05:13:45Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006612

considering that, you know,

05:13:47Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006613

minors right now, their maturity comes early

05:13:50Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006614

because of their exposure

05:13:52Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006615

to social media and they become more exposed,

05:13:55Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006616

more informed and more daring.

05:13:58Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006617

What is your take on lowering the age of criminal responsibility?

05:14:03Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006618

Some are proposing from 15 to 12 years of age.

05:14:07Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006619

Like in other jurisdictions, as young as 10,

05:14:10Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006620

like Singapore, criminal responsibility already attached.

05:14:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006621

Mr. Chair, I take the position of all our child welfare advocates

05:14:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006622

that we are against lowering down

05:14:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006623

the minimum age of criminal liability.

05:14:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006624

We do not want to lower it for the following reasons.

05:14:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006625

Number one, we have not yet fully implemented the law,

05:14:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006626

yet we want to lower it down again.

05:14:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006627

I think we have to fulfill the provisions,

05:14:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006628

as you pointed out, by the law,

05:14:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006629

before we can say whether the law is successful

05:14:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006630

or whether it's effective or not effective.

05:14:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006631

Pangalawa, after my discussions with Secretary Vida,

05:14:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006632

medyo mahirapan rin tayo i-justify sa world stage,

05:14:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006633

that from the age of 15,

05:14:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006634

14, no, 15, 15,

05:14:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006635

biglang ibababa natin,

05:14:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006636

para tayong

05:15:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006637

counterintuitive while everybody is doing that. But I do understand where this notion is coming from.

05:15:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006638

and in one of the hearings in the senate uh the lowering of the minimum age the science doesn't

05:15:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006639

show it. The part of the brain of the child, and numerous literature shows na hindi pa siya

05:15:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006640

fully nagde-develop. In fact, without going into too much detail because I'm barred from doing so

05:15:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006641

ng jjwa to discuss in in there are other risk factors not just the age we have to address the

05:15:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006642

root cause of the problem as the child psychologist and child psychiatrist handling the takloban case

05:15:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006643

pointed out now one risk factor on the individual two risk factor on the family three risk factor on

05:15:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006644

the community, schools, bullying; and four, risk factor na mismo on what's available online.

05:15:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006645

i think we can address the

05:15:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006646

this if we address those various risk factors, not just lowering the age. Kumbaga yung bata na hindi pa fully nagde-develop yung kanyang pag-iisip, ilayo na natin dito sa mga risk factor na maaaring itulak siya na gawin yung hindi niya dapat ginagawa.

05:16:13Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006647

thank you for that uh this is secretary we fully acknowledge that parents parental

05:16:16Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006648

responsibility is at the core of this one and we always say that discipline starts at home

05:16:24Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006649

but

05:16:24Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006650

uh if we can infer on the attack loban case that 14 and 15 years old they know

05:16:33Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006651

fully well what they are doing in fact they studied the law and use it in their favor um

05:16:43Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006652

when they studied the law they say that they will escape criminal responsibility so those are the

05:16:49Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006653

uh the the inference that we can take that a 14 year old or a

05:16:54Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006654

15 year old or a 14 year old has this full mental capacity to know the full consequences of this

05:17:03Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006655

unlawful act

05:17:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006655-split-2

mr chairman if i may be allowed to respond on a general term because again i cannot

05:17:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006656

be talking about an ongoing case that pertains minors more so not just legally but ethically

05:17:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006657

Yung child psychologist at child psychiatrist

05:17:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006658

na may hawak doon sa dalawang bata natin says, 'Let's not just look at the top line.'

05:17:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006659

Top line, yes, mukhang alam nila. But in deeper inference, they didn't understand. Napaka-magical nung kanilang pag-intindi. Yung isa sabi niya, 'Oo, hindi tayo makukulong,' kasi ang babaw ng pagkaintindi niya doon sa batas. In fact, akala niya pwede na siya umuwi afterwards.

05:17:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006660

Post, post, and I will end my statement with this.

05:17:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006661

Post-evaluation after a month

05:17:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006662

or two, ngayon lang nila naiintindihan yung severity or yung consequences ng pangyayari.

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006663

so there again it shows that the development of the child

05:17:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006664

mentally is not fully enough to comprehend the consequences more so

05:18:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006665

ang tawag nga nila sa psychological terms, when I spoke to the consultant, magical.

05:18:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006666

Akala nila the incidents do not have the necessary consequences.

05:18:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006667

Babalik-balikan ko po yung developmental

05:18:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006668

stages are still not there, or the mental acumen or the capacities to

05:18:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006669

understand

05:18:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006670

wala ho doon. Alam niya,

05:18:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006671

pinag-aralan

05:18:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006672

niya, pero

05:18:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006673

mali

05:18:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006674

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006675

kanyang

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006676

pagkakaunawa,

05:18:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006677

more so

05:18:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006678

hindi niya

05:18:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006679

naiintindihan

05:18:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006680

yung consequences because of his own lack of development

05:18:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006692

but also the risk factors na na-expose siya, sila.

05:18:46Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006693

Well, thank you, Mr. Secretary. I don't question

05:18:49Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006695

the noble intention of the law, which is really to a child-centered and restorative policy. What I'm trying to discuss here is the

05:18:57Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006696

ineptness of the law in implementing the same which is one is the lack of

05:19:04Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006697

another establishment that will implement those integration and diversion program and second is

05:19:10Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006698

also to strike the balance between protecting the innocence and at the same time giving justice

05:19:16Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006699

uh to the victims because if we don't do that then then we will uh left them with a sense of

05:19:24Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006700

injustice. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

05:19:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006700-split-2

Mr. Chairman, if I may just be allowed to jump in one more time

05:19:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006701

we totally agree and we will leave it to the open discussion uh that will happen in the legislative

05:19:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006702

process but if there's one angle to look at and i'm not sure if the uh everybody's been

05:19:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006703

looking at this in this case the 14 year old that has no

05:19:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006704

discernment yes we will intervene yes we will do the diversion if that

05:19:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006705

happen diversion because the court will not take cognizance of him

05:19:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006706

so we will try we are trying our best to do the interventions but the biggest problem there is

05:20:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006707

the law never saw the case where in the 14 year old but what if i'm not saying that it will not

05:20:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006708

happen? What if we can't rehabilitate? Tatanda at tatanda

05:20:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006709

siya sa center nang wala siyang klarong

05:20:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006710

escape—exit, sorry, exit mechanism, unlike the other one na pag merong discernment after the age of majority meron siyang exit mechanism, whether sa regular na kulungan or ibabalik sa komunidad.

05:20:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006711

but in this case i don't think the law foresaw the 14 uh those that without age of without the

05:20:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006712

discernment the who commit heinous crimes who we will later on let's say

05:20:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006713

sabihin naming hindi namin kaya i-rehabilitate; wala siyang pupuntahan kundi maiwan sa amin.

05:20:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006714

So that's something that we might have to look at and further categorize

05:20:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006715

it. But again I leave it to the good Congress to further legislate.

05:20:58Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006715-split-2

Well, just to add to that, there are some

05:21:01Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006716

good proposals pending before the committees and it's still a child centered and maintains the

05:21:06Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006717

restorative policy it's just it's just lower the age of criminal responsibility but

05:21:12Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006718

as to the suspension automatic suspension of sentence it is retained

05:21:16Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006719

so the confidentiality of records is still retained and at the same time the intervention

05:21:21Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006720

and their version program will still be retained it's just that the proposal is just to lower

05:21:28Source

Rep. Alfredo A. "Pido" Garbin Jr.

asr-006721

the criminal age of responsibility. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

05:21:31Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-006726

sa mga kababayan natin na talagang nasalanta ng mga pagbagyo recently.

05:22:02Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

And we commend DSWD for that,

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006728

mabilis po na pag-aksyon ng inyong kagawaran.

05:22:07Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006729

May ilan lang pong mga paglilinaw,

05:22:09Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006730

Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair,

05:22:12Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006731

patungkol po sa ating mga kasama

05:22:15Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006732

at kaibigan sa FSL community. Mga Deaf community po ito at ang mga tanong ko po ay patungkol

05:22:21Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006737

sa Filipino Sign Language Interpreters.

05:22:23Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006738

So, unang tanong po under

05:22:25Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006739

Republic Act 7277

05:22:27Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006740

or the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons

05:22:29Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006741

at meron din pong administrative

05:22:31Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006742

order ang DSWD number

05:22:32Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006743

2003-59

05:22:35Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006744

the department is mandated

05:22:37Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006745

to provide auxiliary social

05:22:39Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006746

services for persons

05:22:41Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006747

with disabilities including

05:22:43Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006748

qualified sign language

05:22:45Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006749

interpretation. So, may

05:22:47Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006750

we ask the department to present

05:22:49Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006751

its actual compliance

05:22:50Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006752

particularly in terms of

05:22:53Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006753

appropriations, programs, and services

05:22:55Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006754

for FSL interpretation.

05:22:58Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006755

At magkano po

05:22:59Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006756

ang nailaan na,

05:23:01Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006757

na obligate na, ng DSWD

05:23:03Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006758

for this sa taong

05:23:05Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006759

2026 at magkano

05:23:07Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006760

naman po yung ilalaan

05:23:09Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006761

ng inyong ahensya sa susunod na taon?

05:23:12Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006762

Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary.

05:23:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006763

Mr. Chairman, the evaluation of that

05:23:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006764

or the assessment of that as well as the funding

05:23:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006765

component of that lies with one

05:23:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006766

of our attached agency, the National

05:23:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006767

Commission on Disability Affairs.

05:23:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006768

The Executive Director will be the one

05:23:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006769

taking this question.

05:23:27Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006770

With the indulgence of the good

05:23:28Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006771

Secretary and Mr. Chair.

05:23:30Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006772

So, ang fund po is nasa

05:23:32Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006773

NCDA under the augmentation

05:23:34Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006774

but usually, nanggagaling po ito

05:23:36Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006775

from the PCSO

05:23:39Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006776

which is very small lang po.

05:23:41Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006777

And the provision of FSL po,

05:23:43Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006778

itong ating mga interpreter is

05:23:45Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006779

by, as need arises,

05:23:47Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006780

depending po doon sa mga sumusulat po sa amin

05:23:51Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006785

who are needing interpreters po.

05:23:55Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006786

Pu pwede nalang po ba kami makahingi

05:23:57Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006787

ng mga kaukulang datos po

05:24:01Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006788

regarding po sa

05:24:03Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006789

mga hinihingi ko po na datos dito,

05:24:05Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006790

Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair?

05:24:07Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006791

Yes, Mr. Chair.

05:24:08Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006792

NCDA will provide you the list of

05:24:11Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006793

provision that were given by NCDA

05:24:14Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006794

in the past three years po.

05:24:15Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006795

Thank you po. Maraming salamat.

05:24:17Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006796

Mr. Chair, alam naman po natin na yung

05:24:20Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006797

frontline auxiliary services devolved po yan, diba?

05:24:23Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006798

So, papaano po ang suportang ibinibigay ng DSWD,

05:24:28Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006799

particularly ng inyong inyong pong ahensya,

05:24:30Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006800

sa mga LGU na walang kapasidad na suportahan o tumugon

05:24:34Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006801

dito sa mga auxiliary services neto,

05:24:36Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006802

particularly on FSL interpreters?

05:24:39Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006803

At meron po ba tayong datos?

05:24:42Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006804

Ilan sa mga syudad at munisipalidad

05:24:45Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006805

yung may access at walang access sa mga FSL interpreters?

05:24:50Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006806

Yes, Mr. Chair.

05:24:52Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006807

Currently po, wala po kaming nare-receive na request

05:24:55Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006808

from the LGU in terms of the assistance for interpreters.

05:24:59Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006809

What we receive are requests from the national government agencies

05:25:03Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006810

which we provided.

05:25:05Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006811

However, kailan lang po nag-meeting po kami

05:25:08Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006812

sa ilang organizations of deaf within the country

05:25:13Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006813

at napag-usapan po namin which we proposed also to the DSWD Academy

05:25:19Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006814

to provide po.

05:25:20Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006815

So, we have a curriculum for each LGU na magkaroon po tayo ng

05:25:23Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006816

Filipino Sign Language interpreter po.

05:25:26Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006817

So, wala pong datos sa mga syudad o munisipalidad na

05:25:31Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006818

sino ba yung mga syudad o munisipyo na meron o wala?

05:25:34Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006819

May ganun po bang datos ang ahensya?

05:25:37Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006820

Sa ngayon po, Mr. Chair, wala po kaming datos.

05:25:40Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006821

Opo. Pero yun nga po, given the fact na wala nga po,

05:25:44Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006822

but we anticipated kasi kahit po sa amin, yun pong kakulangan po ng Filipino Sign Language interpreter.

05:25:52Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006825

din po yung nakakaharap po ng NCDA.

05:25:55Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006826

That's why we deemed it proper to offer nga po itong curriculum na ito para po sa ating mga LGU

05:26:02Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-006827

so that they can have at least two Filipino sign language interpreter po.

05:26:07Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006828

Maraming salamat po sa paglilinaw na yan, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair.

05:26:10Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006829

Indication lang po yan na medyo mahina po ang ating implementation particular dito sa batas for FSL.

05:26:19Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006832

Kasi kung wala po tayong datos ng mga syudad at munisipalidad na meron bang access sila sa mga FSL interpreters, ibig sabihin hindi natin alam.

05:26:26Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006833

nasaan ba yung mga gaps patungkol diyan.

05:26:29Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006834

Kasi ang report coming from the ground ay marami po, nga kababayan at kapatid natin mula sa Deaf community,

05:26:36Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006835

papasok halimbawa ng munisipyo o papasok ng Hall of Justice, papasok ng iba't-ibang mga opisina,

05:26:42Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006836

hindi sila magkaintindihan kasi walang mag-i-interpret for them.

05:26:48Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006837

Yung accessibility po kasi hindi lang naman usapin niya na may rampa o yung pagiging PWD-friendly

05:26:53Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006838

and nandoon lang sa built na infrastructure.

05:26:57Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006839

Ito rin po ay nangangahulugan na available yung mga servisyo na ganyan,

05:27:01Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006840

lalong-lalo na sa mga kapatid natin na deaf.

05:27:03Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006841

So, yun po ang isa sana na po pwedeng tignan ng ating ahensya.

05:27:10Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006842

Next po na tanong natin, Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary,

05:27:13Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006843

alam niyo po, isa sa mga talagang invisibilized na workforce itong mga FSL interpreters natin,

05:27:20Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006844

wala kasing standard eh.

05:27:22Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006845

So, walang standard kung magkano yung rate nila,

05:27:25Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006846

wala actually sila ng mga benepisyon na natatanggap.

05:27:28Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006847

In fact, sila-sila, from among themselves, sila-sila lang ang nag-uusap,

05:27:32Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006848

o magka-isa tayo, ganito ang rate natin.

05:27:34Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006849

O magka-isa tayo, ganito yung terms natin pagkukuha tayo ng project.

05:27:39Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006850

Ano po yung mga ginagawang hakbangin ng DSWD?

05:27:43Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006851

Para kilalanin yung ating mga FSL interpreters bilang isang mahalagang bahagi ng ating workforce.

05:27:52Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006852

At ano po yung mga specific measures na pinopropose po ng kagawaran

05:27:56Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006853

para makilala natin itong mga FSL interpreters natin bilang bahagi ng formal na workforce natin, Mr. Chair.

05:28:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006854

If I can jump in.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006855

Yes.

05:28:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006856

Bahagi, pinasok po namin yan, if you can recall,

05:28:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006857

social protection sa SGLG is in the realm of the DSWD.

05:28:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006858

Kami ho nagbibigay ng mga indicators to compel our local government units to put in FSL interpreters.

05:28:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006859

Nilagay ho namin yan as one of the indicators that they will be graded upon.

05:28:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006860

Kasi like we said, responsibilidad ay agree ng mga national government agency, pati ng mga LGU ho yan.

05:28:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006861

That's a way of us compelling and formalizing.

05:28:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006862

It's in the SGLG rating card, yung availability or yung presence of an FSL interpreter in the locality.

05:28:45Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006863

Maraming salamat po sa paglilinaw, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair.

05:28:49Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006864

Kaya ako po binabanggit ito dahil just recently po nag-deliver tayo ng privileged speech about this matter

05:28:55Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006865

na karagdagang proteksyon at pagkilala sa mga FSL interpreters natin.

05:28:59Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006866

In fact po, Mr. Secretary, nakakalungkot, nakakaroon tayo ng budget deliberation ngayon about your budget.

05:29:05Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006867

Pero wala man lang available na nag-i-interpret ng pinag-uusapan natin.

05:29:10Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006868

Kung gustong maintindihan ng mga kapatid natin mula sa deaf community,

05:29:15Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006869

kung anong pinag-uusapan natin ngayon, sila yung kinakailangang maghanap ng paraan para magkaintindihan.

05:29:20Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006870

Maintindihan nila itong pinag-uusapan natin ngayon.

05:29:23Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006871

And that shows, Mr. Chair, yung gaps talaga pagdating dito sa may existing na nabatas eh.

05:29:29Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006872

So kaya kailangan nating palakasin ito.

05:29:31Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006873

At kung may commitment naman po ang DSWD na ipatupad ito at palakasin ang programang ito,

05:29:37Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006874

asahan nyo po na magiging kasama't kakampinyo po ang kamanggagawa party list sa bagay na ito.

05:29:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006875

We will do better.

05:29:46Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006876

Maraming salamat po. Malaking bagay po yun, Mr. Sekretary, yung binanggit nyo po.

05:29:50Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006877

At ikatutuwa po yan ng ating mga stakeholders mula po sa deaf community.

05:29:54Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006878

With that, Mr. Chair, buo po ang suporta ng kinatawang ito at ng Kamanggagawa Party-list sa DSWD.

05:30:00Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006880

mga kababayan sa deaf community.

05:30:10Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006885

At sa iba pa po na mga sektor

05:30:12Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006886

ng ating mga kababayan

05:30:13Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006887

may kapansanan. At kaisan niyo po kami

05:30:15Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006888

para ipaglaban yung karagdagang

05:30:17Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006889

budget kung kinakailangan para po

05:30:19Source

asr-006902

sa Tanaan Pamilya sa DSWD.

05:30:51Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006903

Only two things,

05:30:52Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006904

Mr. Chair. Una, I would like to

05:30:54Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006905

follow up with that white

05:30:56Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006906

fellow there. I forgot

05:30:58Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006907

his name, that white fellow.

05:31:01Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006908

What's your name again?

05:31:02Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006909

Friend? This guy, this guy.

05:31:05Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006910

Yeah. Regarding sa

05:31:06Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006911

QRF, Mr. Chair,

05:31:10Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006912

magkano

05:31:10Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006913

ng QRF for 2026?

05:31:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006914

Nakalodge po, Mr. Chair,

05:31:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006915

sa DSWD.

05:31:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006916

1.2 billion.

05:31:18Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006917

Of 1.2 billion, September pa lang

05:31:21Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006918

ngayon. Sorry, Mr. Chair,

05:31:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006919

per month, 3 billion na nakalodge.

05:31:25Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006920

3 billion for 2026.

05:31:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006921

Yes.

05:31:28Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006922

Magkano na po naubos natin? With all the calamities,

05:31:31Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006923

and all the...

05:31:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006924

For right now,

05:31:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006925

Mr. Chair, we've already

05:31:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006926

reimbursed

05:31:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006927

five times.

05:31:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006928

And ang running

05:31:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006929

total na hoon na nasa kamay hoon namin

05:31:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006930

is 9.5 billion.

05:31:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006931

Ang na-obligate na hoon namin dyan,

05:31:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006932

7.5 billion.

05:31:54Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006933

That's why, Mr. Chair,

05:31:55Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006934

if maybe some of us

05:31:58Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006935

will be included during the

05:31:59Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006936

Barsi that we reinstate,

05:32:01Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006937

if not even add budget

05:32:03Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006938

for QRF or DSWD.

05:32:06Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006939

In all the challenges

05:32:08Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006940

from Ludon, Visayas,

05:32:10Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006941

and even to the farthest

05:32:12Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006942

barangay in Mindanao,

05:32:14Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006943

DSWD had always

05:32:16Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006944

been the first,

05:32:17Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006945

sometimes even faster than

05:32:19Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006946

the quick response teams in the provinces

05:32:21Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006947

and the municipalities, especially

05:32:23Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006948

in giving aid in times

05:32:25Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006949

of calamity. That's why

05:32:27Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006950

I too, hopefully, will be able to

05:32:29Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006951

work it out, and it will be,

05:32:31Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006952

given opportunity to be

05:32:33Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006953

a member of Barsi, that we will work

05:32:35Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006954

on how we will be able to

05:32:37Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006955

increase the QRF

05:32:39Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006956

of DSWD.

05:32:41Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006957

Hopefully, we will just ask

05:32:43Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006958

a letter, Mr. Chair,

05:32:45Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006959

requesting the committee

05:32:47Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006960

for additional budget and how much

05:32:49Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006961

so that we will be able to find,

05:32:51Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006962

hopefully, be able to be a part

05:32:53Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006963

to find ways to fund an additional

05:32:55Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006964

QRF and some other

05:32:57Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006965

important programs that were

05:32:59Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006966

not funded by DSWD.

05:33:01Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006967

Second,

05:33:03Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006968

Mr. Chair, may we know

05:33:05Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006969

if the status

05:33:07Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006970

of the

05:33:08Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006971

plan to build a

05:33:11Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006972

disaster center in Butuan

05:33:13Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-006973

City, Mr. Chair?

05:33:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006974

Mr. Chair, if the good congressman will allow me

05:33:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006975

to go back muna dun sa QRF briefly.

05:33:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006976

If I can point out, wala hong

05:33:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006977

added cost sa gobyerno to bring

05:33:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006978

us back to 3 billion, kasi the

05:33:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006979

national QRF stands at around

05:33:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006980

18 billion.

05:33:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006981

18 billion?

05:33:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006982

No, yung isa, yung QRF.

05:33:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006983

Yeah, kasi parang,

05:33:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006984

Mr. Chairman, remember, there's the national

05:33:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006985

QRF and there's the national

05:33:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006986

N-DREAM Fund. Then,

05:33:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006987

nakatap kami lahat doon. We reimburse.

05:33:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006988

Yung seed money ang

05:33:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006989

pinag-uusapan namin, ang binibigay lang

05:33:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006990

sa amin noon, 1.2 billion, but because

05:33:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006991

Congress felt that we needed a bigger

05:33:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006992

legroom, ginawa niyong 3 billion.

05:33:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006993

Malaki ho yung diferensya noon. Walang

05:33:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006994

cost sa national government kasi nandiyan naman yung

05:33:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006995

pondo, pero yung nakabank na

05:33:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006996

sa amin, 3 billion, mas mabilis namin,

05:34:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006997

makaka-respond.

05:34:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006998

Kasi kung 1.2 billion yan, we have

05:34:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-006999

to use 50% before we

05:34:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007000

reimburse, so may administrative processing

05:34:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007001

time. Mabilis naman yung processing

05:34:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007002

time, 3 days, 5 days under

05:34:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007003

Secretary Kim, walang 1 week, pero

05:34:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007004

syempre, time is of the essence.

05:34:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007005

If we had 3 billion to use kaagad,

05:34:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007006

malaki ho yun. So, I wanted to

05:34:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007007

point out na hopefully during your Barsi

05:34:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007008

discussion, walang added cost to government.

05:34:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007009

Nandiyan ho yung standby

05:34:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007010

QRF, lalakihan lang yung

05:34:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007011

advance na nasa DSWD.

05:34:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007012

Para hindi kami reimbursed, nang reimbursed

05:34:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007013

almost every week. That's the

05:34:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007014

main gut of it.

05:34:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007015

Kasi baka akala ng maraming members,

05:34:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007016

humihingi kami ng dagdag.

05:34:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007017

May pera na, i-bank

05:34:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007018

nyo lang sa amin, sana, Mr. Chairman,

05:34:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007019

ng mas malaking halaga,

05:34:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007020

para hindi kami reimbursed ng

05:34:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007021

parang ito na analogy ko, parang may mga bata.

05:34:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007022

The departments are children.

05:34:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007023

Humihingi kami ng allowance.

05:34:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007024

Reimbursable, ililista namin sa

05:34:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007025

saan napunta. Sana, mas malaki

05:34:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007026

yung spending cap namin, maximum,

05:35:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007027

para hindi kami balik

05:35:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007028

nang balik to reimbursed because may

05:35:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007029

mga clientele kami na kailangan iservice

05:35:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007030

sa mga LGU or mga victims.

05:35:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007031

That's one. Number two, Mr. Chair,

05:35:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007032

when it comes to the repacking center in

05:35:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007033

Butuan City, we are now

05:35:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007034

just waiting for one more piece of document

05:35:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007035

which is the ECC, if I'm

05:35:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007036

not mistaken. ECC, di ba?

05:35:22Source

Yun ang wawala sa MDRC.

05:35:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007038

It's just the ECC.

05:35:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007039

Sorry, it's the DPWH

05:35:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007040

clearance na the plans

05:35:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007041

are all in place. Yun na lang po,

05:35:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007042

and then pwede na namin i-process yung

05:35:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007043

for later release na

05:35:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007044

multi-year na SARO.

05:35:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007045

Medyo mahaba ho yung proseso nun kasi

05:35:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007046

this is a new plan starting from

05:35:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007047

scratch. We had to get all the necessary

05:35:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007048

documents. So we're just missing one DPWH

05:35:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007049

documentation which we should

05:35:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007050

get anytime and then we can build it

05:35:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007051

already.

asr-007051-split-2

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

05:35:51Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007052

The secretary

05:35:53Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007053

like I, Mr. Chair, was given

05:35:55Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007054

opportunity to be in a local government

05:35:57Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007055

unit. Ang alimbawa dun sa

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007056

mga hospitals namin, Mr. Chair,

05:36:01Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007057

gave our doctors revolving

05:36:03Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007058

funds. Dati, binibigay

05:36:05Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007059

is 100,000

05:36:07Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007060

a month lang. Tapos in-increase

05:36:09Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007061

natin para mas maka-ikot sila

05:36:11Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007062

at saka hindi sila palaging bumabalik

05:36:13Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007063

dun sa Capitolio. I understand what you mean and

05:36:15Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007064

hopefully that too will be in the

05:36:17Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007065

05:36:20Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007066

Regarding dun sa quick response

05:36:21Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007067

fund, if the secretary remembers,

05:36:23Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007072

Sana tapos. This white guy

05:36:33Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007073

is talking, Mr. Chair, during my time,

05:36:35Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007074

Mr. Chair. This American guy.

05:36:38Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007075

And

05:36:39Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007076

may we know,

05:36:41Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007077

Mr. Chair, if

05:36:42Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007078

we will still continue

05:36:45Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007079

with the Region 10

05:36:47Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007080

in Lunocan, Bukidnon

05:36:49Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007081

Disaster Center, will

05:36:51Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007082

DSWD support the need

05:36:53Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007083

or is there a need that we will

05:36:55Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007084

continue with the Lunocan DSWD

05:36:57Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007085

Disaster Center,

05:36:59Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007086

Mr. Chair?

05:37:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007086-split-2

Mr. Chairman,

05:37:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007087

a hundred and one percent. The more of

05:37:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007088

these repacking centers, the better.

05:37:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007089

Yung mga disasters natin yun, mas mabagsik,

05:37:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007090

mas matagal, mas mahaba.

05:37:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007091

As proven in our experience right now,

05:37:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007092

yung nasa Cebu natin is already

05:37:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007093

overstretched. It's catering to Visayas,

05:37:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007094

sometimes nagagamit rin siya

05:37:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007095

for Bicol, and it's also

05:37:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007096

catering to Mindanao. So,

05:37:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007097

given that Mindanao is a very big

05:37:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007098

vast expanse of land

05:37:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007099

with multiple LGUs inside,

05:37:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007100

more than one repacking center ang

05:37:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007101

kailangan natin, over on top of what's being

05:37:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007102

built in Caraga, or what will be built

05:37:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007103

in Caraga.

05:37:34Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007104

Will the good Secretary be able to include

05:37:37Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007105

that in the request for

05:37:38Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007106

Barsi, Mr. Chair? So,

05:37:41Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007107

I'll be able to work it out

05:37:42Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007108

with the Chairman on the Committee on Appropriation

05:37:45Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007109

and hopefully be able to discuss it

05:37:47Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007110

with the good Secretary of the House,

05:37:49Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007111

Mr. Chair.

05:37:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007111-split-2

Gladly, Mr. Chairman,

05:37:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007112

we will make sure that it's part of the list

05:37:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007113

that we will submit. Pahaba na ho

05:37:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007114

ng pahaba yung listahan namin, pero this one is

05:37:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007115

a matter of life and death. Kaya, we'll put

05:37:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007116

it on top of the list because,

05:38:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007117

importante ho 'to, as we are now seeing

05:38:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007118

gamit na gamit yung mga repacking center, we fully

05:38:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007119

support, we will put it on top of our list, Mr. Chairman.

05:38:07Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007120

Mr. Chair, especially that the forecast

05:38:09Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007121

for Mindanao is a little bit

05:38:11Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007122

challenging for the months ahead

05:38:13Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007123

with the incoming El Nino.

05:38:15Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007124

Kasi kayo dito, Mr. Chair,

05:38:17Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007125

sa Luzon, binabaha kayo

05:38:19Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007126

at inuulan. Kung gano'ng

05:38:21Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007127

katagal at kahaba yung baha

05:38:23Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007128

at ulan sa inyo, ganon din katagal

05:38:25Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007129

ang walang ulan sa amin ngayon.

05:38:27Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007130

That's why we want to prepare also for

05:38:29Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007131

the challenges and the disasters.

05:38:31Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007132

that will be coming to the islands of Mindanao.

05:38:33Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007133

God forbid not, Mr. Chair.

05:38:35Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007134

Mr. Chair, I thank already

05:38:37Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007135

the good Secretary for answering the

05:38:39Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007136

queries and the questions. I thank him

05:38:41Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007137

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

Mr. Chair. And of course,

Nagulat nga ako, Mr. Chair.

05:39:10Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007152

Did you notice, Mr. Chair, this budget hearing?

05:39:13Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007153

Wala masyadong Regional Director

05:39:14Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007154

lumalapit sa atin. Unlike

05:39:16Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007155

before, they will submit their report

05:39:19Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007156

in our districts.

05:39:20Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007159

Sabi ko, ba't ikaw nandito?

05:39:27Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

Hindi ka nga namang nakailangan, kasi ikaw nga

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007161

yung pinakamadali tumulong sa amin, tapos ikaw

05:39:30Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007162

nagpapakita rito. Kailangan namin yung ibang

05:39:32Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007163

Regional Director na hindi nagpapakita sa amin,

05:39:34Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007164

hindi nga magpapakilala. Sabi ko,

05:39:36Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007165

uwi ka na, uwi ka na. Pinapauwi na nga namin siya,

05:39:38Source

Deputy Speaker Yevgeny Vincente B. Emano

asr-007166

Mr. Chair. So, congratulations,

asr-007178

Secretary. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

05:40:14Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007179

First of all, this

05:40:15Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007180

representation

05:40:16Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007181

expresses our full support to the

05:40:19Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007182

proposed budget if

05:40:21Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007183

pwede nga po pa nataasan.

05:40:23Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007184

And we believe

05:40:24Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007185

your agency or your role really is

05:40:27Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007186

a vital lifeline to our struggling communities,

05:40:29Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007187

vulnerable children,

05:40:31Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007188

as everyone knows already,

05:40:33Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007189

marginalized sectors,

05:40:36Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007190

especially

05:40:37Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007191

disaster-affected communities.

05:40:39Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007192

And if isa rin po tayo

05:40:42Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007193

kung may erong chance

05:40:44Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007194

na maitaas ito, especially your

05:40:46Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007195

crisis interventions programs

05:40:47Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007196

for people in need of

05:40:49Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007197

assistances, maitaas po sana

05:40:52Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007198

ito for 2027.

05:40:54Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007199

And, but one

05:40:56Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007200

concern lang, I would say,

05:40:57Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007201

based on the cases that we encounter

05:40:59Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007202

sa aming mga distrito,

05:41:02Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007203

sa ilalim po ng DSWD

05:41:04Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007204

assistance programs, tama po

05:41:06Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007205

ba na ang maximum amount na maaaring

05:41:08Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007206

maibigay natin?

05:41:09Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007207

Sa isang beneficiary would amount

05:41:11Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007208

to how much po?

05:41:14Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007209

Yung maximum.

05:41:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007210

For the cash relief assistance,

05:41:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007211

it's limited to 10,000 pesos.

05:41:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007212

Because beyond that, we feel that it's

05:41:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007213

better suited kung guarantee letter na po.

05:41:24Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007214

So 10,000 for cash.

05:41:26Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007215

Yes, and we understand that.

05:41:27Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007216

We understand that there must be safeguards

05:41:29Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007217

and limitations to ensure that

05:41:31Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007218

these funds are properly managed.

05:41:34Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007219

But I just want to share

05:41:35Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007220

a sentiment po and put it on

05:41:37Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007221

record because

05:41:39Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007222

may mga kaso po, as we all

05:41:41Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007223

know, of course, alam nyo, alam naman po

05:41:43Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007224

natin yung lahat na hindi talaga sapat ang

05:41:45Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007225

10,000. For example, may mga pasyente

05:41:47Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007226

po, again, dapat katuwang

05:41:49Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007227

po talaga feel dito, DOH, etc.

05:41:51Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007228

But just to manifest, may mga

05:41:53Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007229

sumas-alilims, let's say, ng chemotherapy

05:41:55Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007230

na hindi talaga covered

05:41:57Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007231

ng expenses na ito,

05:41:59Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007232

na napakamahal ng treatment, or kaya naputulan

05:42:01Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007233

ng paa na yung bakal

05:42:03Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007234

sobrang pagkamahal-mahal, or yung

05:42:05Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007235

mga nawalan na nga mahal sa buhay

05:42:07Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007236

na kailangan iuwi for, and

05:42:09Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007237

would really need

05:42:10Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007238

transportation and

05:42:13Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007239

funeral-related expenses. Anyway,

05:42:15Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007240

so para po sa isang pamilya na walang-wala,

05:42:17Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007241

talagang napakalaking tulong po

05:42:19Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007242

ng 10,000. But also,

05:42:21Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007243

I would just say that it's

05:42:23Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007244

really a fraction talaga

05:42:25Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007245

of what they actually need.

05:42:27Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007246

Especially now, meron din po

05:42:29Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007247

tayong program, or hindi man tayong program,

05:42:31Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007248

meron pong ongoing

05:42:33Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007249

initiative na lahat ng mga bata

05:42:35Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007250

na may conditions,

05:42:37Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007251

especially PWDs,

05:42:39Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007252

keys na bata.

05:42:41Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007253

Again, malaking tulong po, but again,

05:42:43Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007254

I would respectfully just

05:42:45Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007255

suggest that maybe we could study the possibility

05:42:47Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007256

of having a graduated or

05:42:49Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007257

case-based assistance ceiling

05:42:51Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007258

where the amount may go beyond

05:42:53Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007259

these amount

05:42:55Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007260

for exceptional cases. And of

05:42:57Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007261

course, subject to proper

05:42:59Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007262

assessment, documentation,

05:43:01Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007263

and safeguards, because there are

05:43:03Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007264

these cases,

05:43:06Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007265

and maybe we can have a mechanism

05:43:07Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007266

na if life-threatening

05:43:09Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007267

illnesses, again, in partnership

05:43:11Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007268

with DOH, or major surgical

05:43:13Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007269

procedures, or prolonged

05:43:15Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007270

hospitalization,

05:43:17Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007271

can maybe justify it for certain

05:43:19Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007272

circumstances. But it's just really

05:43:21Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007273

maybe a possibility,

05:43:24Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007274

and I do

05:43:25Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007275

believe na you're doing

05:43:27Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007276

the best that you can.

05:43:29Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007277

At alam na alam po ninyo to.

05:43:31Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007278

But I just want to also share the

05:43:33Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007279

sentiments of the people from my district.

05:43:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007280

Mr. Chairman, if I can

05:43:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007281

just clarify again,

05:43:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007282

yung cash relief assistance ang may limit

05:43:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007283

na medyo mababa, 10,000, because

05:43:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007284

the context there is

05:43:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007285

we're scared also of being

05:43:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007286

giving cash na ang lalaki

05:43:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007287

na amount sa isang recipient.

05:43:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007288

But we have thousands of service

05:43:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007289

providers, at pag medical

05:43:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007290

na po, tulad ng mga binanggit ni

05:43:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007291

ating Congresswoman,

05:43:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007292

chemo, dialysis

05:44:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007293

na hindi covered sa PhilHealth,

05:44:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007294

bakal sa ortho cases,

05:44:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007295

umabot na nga po tayo sa kidney

05:44:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007296

transplants, guaranteed

05:44:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007297

letter na ho. We have thousands.

05:44:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007298

I'm proud to say we have more service

05:44:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007299

providers than DOH,

05:44:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007300

and we convert that to a needs-based

05:44:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007301

guarantee letter system, where

05:44:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007302

our social workers will assess

05:44:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007303

based on the quotation, the

05:44:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007304

cost estimate, and the billing,

05:44:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007305

and the life circumstance of that person.

05:44:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007306

So lumalagpas po tayo sa

05:44:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007307

10,000. Our guarantee letters

05:44:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007308

go all the way up to close to

05:44:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007309

a million with the right signing

05:44:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007310

authority. In that case, ako na po

05:44:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007311

yun, umaakit na sa akin. So we're

05:44:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007312

not constrained with the 10,000 for

05:44:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007313

medical or burial needs. We actually

05:44:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007314

use bigger amounts

05:44:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007315

but in a guarantee letter format.

05:44:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007316

And a lot of those medical conditions

05:44:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007317

that you mentioned are actually

05:44:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007318

catered

05:44:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007319

or serviced by our

05:44:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007320

service providers.

05:44:57Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007321

Thank you for that clarification,

05:44:59Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007322

Sec.

05:45:00Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007323

And again, this is a good opportunity, especially for my district, to discover that there's a program.

05:45:10Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007324

But yeah, definitely, especially with hospitalization, we can use the referral letter system.

05:45:20Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007325

Or maybe we can refer.

05:45:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007326

Guarantee letter, and you can refer to us.

05:45:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007327

In fact, Mr. Chairman, mapapagalitan ulit natin 'yung si RD Barry dahil hindi ho kayo ini-inform sa list of services ng departamento.

05:45:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007328

So plus-minus siya. Binati siya, pero minus siya ngayon, so zero siya ulit.

05:45:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007329

So, R.D. Barry, who is behind me, should go visit the Congresswoman.

05:45:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007330

Explain the menu of services that we have so that we can address your constituents' needs in a more adequate manner.

05:45:45Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007331

Thank you.

05:45:45Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007332

Pero bawi po ako, the staff, social workers on our province, hands down, they're the best.

05:45:52Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007333

Wala po akong masabi.

05:45:53Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007334

And very efficient.

05:45:55Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007335

And I would just like to say that during the oil crisis, in the midst of these really,

05:46:00Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007336

really hard times, ang lahat po ng mga riders natin, jeepney drivers, farmers, natulungan po natin lahat.

05:46:07Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007337

So again, if kaya po natin taasan pa ang budget, isa po tayo sa susuporta at magsusulong nito.

05:46:16Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007338

Maraming salamat, Secretary, and to the DSWD family.

05:46:18Source

Rep. Charisse Anne C. Hernandez

asr-007339

Maraming salamat, Chairman.

05:46:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007340

Thank you very much, Congresswoman.

05:46:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007341

Thank you, Congressman Rich.

05:46:26Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-007342

We recognize Senior Deputy Speaker Dinan.

05:46:31Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007343

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

05:46:36Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007344

Actually, wala naman ako itatanong.

05:46:38Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007345

Nandito lang ako po to vocally support the budget of the DSWD family.

05:46:47Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007346

I've been watching the hearing.

05:46:49Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007347

Medyo late ako. I was looking at my iPad on my way here.

05:46:54Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007348

Siguro, I've been here for nine years before. I've come back in.

05:46:59Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007349

So, I've never seen so many.

05:47:01Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007350

Commendations, compliments, and praises to one department.

05:47:08Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007351

Again, congratulations to the SWD.

05:47:11Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007352

So, if that's all, res ipsa locator.

05:47:16Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007353

The thing speaks for your performance.

05:47:19Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007354

Congratulations, the SWD.

05:47:20Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007355

So, hindi na nga res ipsa. Gagawin ko lang rex ipsa loquitur.

05:47:26Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007356

So,

05:47:28Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007357

I've witnessed

05:47:30Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007358

this

05:47:30Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007359

personally.

05:47:31Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007360

Tinamaan yung South Cotabato and GenSan ng earthquake.

05:47:36Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007361

Hindi lang 'yan. Hindi lang naman sa region ko. Siyempre, nandito rin yung regional director ko siguro.

05:47:43Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007362

Si Regional Director Cabaya and DSWD family.

05:47:48Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007363

Masyado pong proactive, very responsive, and very accessible.

05:47:56Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007364

So, from the time it happened.

05:47:58Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007365

And then,

05:48:00Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007366

nung natapos na,

05:48:00Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007367

binabalikan pa.

05:48:01Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007368

Makikita mo si Sec Rex,

05:48:03Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007369

pag tinatawagan ko,

05:48:05Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007370

nandun na naman siya sa area.

05:48:07Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007371

And even during the baha.

05:48:09Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007372

Because I monitor the areas of different congressmen.

05:48:13Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007373

Pag binabaha, parati kong bilin muna bago ko yung support ng Congress,

05:48:19Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007374

tawagin n'yo DSWD,

05:48:21Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007375

humihingi ng support.

05:48:23Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007376

Sabi, hindi, nandito na lahat yung support.

05:48:25Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007377

Dati, ilan-ilan lang yung mahihingi mo.

05:48:28Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007378

Ngayon, siyempre,

05:48:29Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007379

na-amaze ka sa isang munisipyo, may 20,000, may 30,000. Di ba?

05:48:35Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007380

Kaya hindi ako magtataka, lahat ng congressman dito,

05:48:41Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007381

puro pasalamat, puro support sa budget ng DSWD.

05:48:44Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007382

So again, very dynamic, right?

05:48:49Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007383

The way you deploy your resources, the way you implement your programs,

05:48:55Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007384

and the way you answer to different programs that are very interesting,

05:49:01Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007385

from SLP, Kalahi, he really knows on the tip of his finger all the details of all his programs.

05:49:13Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007386

So again, I'm here to support the ASWD, continue your good and excellent performance,

05:49:24Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007387

and thank you.

05:49:25Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007388

Marami kayo natulungan.

05:49:27Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007389

Kayo ang unang tinatawagan pag nangangailangan.

05:49:31Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007390

And wala akong narinig na there was a failure on the quick response from the ASWD.

05:49:38Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007391

Again, Secrex and the ASWD family, and it's a touch agency.

05:49:43Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007392

Congratulations.

05:49:43Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007393

I'm only here to support your budget and for possible increase of your budget.

05:49:49Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-007394

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

We now recognize Congressman Edwin Cruzado, after which we will have a temporary suspension for a few minutes.

05:50:06Source

Rep. Edwin Cruzado

asr-007399

Mr. Chair, Honorable Secretary Gazzalian, thank you.

Rep. Edwin Cruzado

Rep. Edwin Cruzado

asr-007403

I'd like to reiterate your quick response to the earthquake, to the flooding, with our very active Regional Director Cabaya.

05:50:35Source

Rep. Edwin Cruzado

asr-007404

Rep. Edwin Cruzado

asr-007405

May isang tanong lang po ako, Secretary, yung sinasabi mo na beyond what is 10,000, yung GL, sa hospital.

05:50:48Source

Rep. Edwin Cruzado

asr-007406

How can we do that?

05:50:49Source

Rep. Edwin Cruzado

asr-007407

For example, mayroong pangangailangan na hindi na

05:50:55Source

Rep. Edwin Cruzado

asr-007408

makaya ng MAIP namin and very kailangan talagang tulungan.

05:51:01Source

Rep. Edwin Cruzado

asr-007409

Tapos, how can we refer that to the DSWD?

05:51:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007410

Mr. Chairman, the good congressman is correct.

05:51:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007411

It's normally used together with the MAIP kasi hindi naman nasasagot lahat ng MAIP.

05:51:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007412

Okay.

05:51:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007413

So, it's as simple as you referring the client to any of our office or satellite office in North Cotabato.

05:51:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007414

We will never turn down anybody na pumunta sa pintuan ng DSWD.

05:51:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007415

Our social workers will assess.

05:51:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007416

And then, issue out the guarantee letter doon sa service provider that they need.

05:51:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007417

We have hundreds and hundreds or thousands of service provider ranging from drug stores

05:51:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007418

all the way to orthopedic supplies and burial services also.

05:51:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007419

So, sa regional office namin yan pinaprocess or any of our satellite office.

05:51:46Source

Rep. Edwin Cruzado

asr-007420

Okay.

05:51:46Source

Rep. Edwin Cruzado

asr-007421

Mr. Secretary, for example, if the patient is doon sila napunta sa region 11, SPMC.

05:51:55Source

Rep. Edwin Cruzado

asr-007422

PMC, pero resident sila ng aming distrito, where will we refer?

05:52:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007423

Sa region po where they are confined, kasi napakahirap naman ho na babalik pa siya sa

05:52:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007424

home region niya.

05:52:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007425

This happens all the time, lalo-lalo na sa Davao region, sa Cebu region.

05:52:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007426

Our officers will never look or discriminate kung saan ka galing.

05:52:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007427

Ang importante sa amin yung crisis at yung pangangailangan.

05:52:19Source

05:53:14Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-007438

do something here, and it's very tempting to terminate it earlier, but we have to wait

05:53:23Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-007439

06:39:45Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Mr. Chair, parehong bumaba ang pondo ng Council for the Welfare of Children at ng Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council.

06:39:54Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007445

Ano ang dahilan ng mga budget cuts na ito?

06:39:56Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007446

Napakahalaga nito, Mr. Chair, lalo na sa panahon ngayon na maraming mga issue at umuusbong pa na mga concerns na may kinalaman sa interes at kapakanan ng mga batang Pilipino.

06:40:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007447

Mr. Chair, I'll let the two Executive Directors who are with us right now, para hindi naman husayang yung gasolina nila sa pagpunta dito, sila na ho magpapaliwanag para sa kanilang mga ahensya.

06:40:21Source

CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales

Isang makabatang hapon po sa ating lahat. Thank you.

With the permission of our boss, Secretary General.

06:40:26Source

CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales

asr-007450

Mr. Chair, Madam Congressman, the bulk of the budget cut of the Council for the Welfare of Children, we are looking at around 60 plus million po.

06:40:39Source

CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales

asr-007451

More than half of that accounts for or pertains to ICT po, budget for ICT po, digitalization for our management information support unit.

06:40:49Source

CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales

asr-007452

Tapos yung mga natira po doon, Madam Chair, Mr. Chair, are funds for the operation.

06:40:56Source

CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales

asr-007453

We also have funds of the divisions and units of the Council for the Welfare of Children po, which includes our support for our regional staff, capacity building and technical assistance for LGUs, budget for the Child-Friendly Local Governance Audit, and the Presidential Award for Child-Friendly Municipalities and Cities po, among others, Mr. Chair.

06:41:17Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Mr. Chair, maraming maapektuhan na may kinalaman doon sa maagap na pagtitiyak na ang kanilang mga palisya, mga posisyon sa issue ay nakalapat.

06:41:26Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007455

At saka kung ano ba yung tunay na sitwasyon ng mga batang Pilipino.

06:41:31Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007456

Kumpara doon sa fiscal year 2027, Nep, sa inyong original proposal bago ho ang DBM recommendation, magkano ho ang hinihingi ng CWC?

06:41:44Source

CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales

asr-007457

Mr. Chair, Madam Congresswoman, ang proposal po namin for 2027 ay 318,211,000.

06:41:52Source

CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales

asr-007458

At ang NEP for fiscal year 2027...

06:41:56Source

CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales

asr-007459

... ay 148,999. Kasama na po dyan yung RLIP po, hindi lang po yung PS, MOOE, and Capital Outlay. Yan na po yung lahat.

06:42:08Source

CWC Executive Director Angelo M. Tapales

asr-007460

So we're talking of malaki po ang bawas po talaga. So we practically went back to 2023 levels po, Mr. Chair.

06:42:19Source

JJWC Executive Director Tricia Claire Oco

asr-007461

Mr. Chair, for the JJWC, we also have our budget lowered.

06:42:31Source

JJWC Executive Director Tricia Claire Oco

asr-007462

Ito naman kasing laki nung sa CWC. Basically, yung decrease namin is doon sa aming ICT requirements, proposed ICT requirements, amounting to 6.289 million.

06:42:46Source

JJWC Executive Director Tricia Claire Oco

asr-007463

So kasama po dito yung sa aming mga subscription. A lot of our ICT requirements, nakasama din po yung sweldo ng iba naming mga COS personnel focusing on our management information system.

06:42:59Source

JJWC Executive Director Tricia Claire Oco

asr-007464

So nire-request rin namin na sana maibalik siya.

06:43:01Source

JJWC Executive Director Tricia Claire Oco

asr-007465

Kasi isa sa mandate namin ay we have to have a management information system sa buong bansa para na-trace namin doon yung mga children at risk and children in conflict with the law.

06:43:16Source

JJWC Executive Director Tricia Claire Oco

asr-007466

And one of them is to establish a longitudinal study kung ano yung patterns ng behavior ng mga bata, lalong-lalo na yung ating mga CICL.

06:43:27Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

06:43:47Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Nasa 200 plus million po ang pagtaas para sa susunod na taon. At nagagalak naman po tayo na masusuportahan ng mas mataas na pondo ang mahalagang agencies at supervised entities na ito.

06:44:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007471

Sir, Chair, the Executive Director of the NACC is also here. But in a nutshell, yun ho ay karagdagang plantilla positions na na-create. So that's why doon ho mapupunta yung pagdagdag.

06:44:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007472

But unless the Executive Director wants to expound kung ba't may dagdag tayong mga plantilla positions.

06:44:23Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-007473

Good afternoon po. Actually tulad nga ng sinabi ni Secrex, yung pagtaas ng budget namin ay para lang bayaran yung mga additional plantilla positions that were given.

06:44:39Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-007474

It was given to the NACC in the last year. So in effect, parang wala naman talagang in-increase in terms of administering the different projects and sana mga capacity building for our social workers and the different regional offices.

06:44:54Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-007475

So meron din sana kaming wish list. Pero yun, at the very least, earlier.

06:45:00Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-007476

nga I stated, at the very least

06:45:02Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-007477

we also need a certain amount of money

06:45:03Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-007478

to pay for certain social workers

06:45:06Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-007479

that were employed this year

06:45:07Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-007480

pero yung nag-grant under the NEP

06:45:09Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-007481

is just sufficient, is not even

06:45:11Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-007482

sufficient to pay for them.

06:45:13Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-007483

So, at the very least, yun po yung

06:45:15Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-007484

hinihingi namin para mabayaran

06:45:18Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

asr-007485

yung social workers who are already currently

06:45:20Source

NACC Undersecretary Maria Gabriela Concepcion

06:48:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007574

Meron naman nung kaming datos yan,

06:48:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007575

malaman lang po namin kung ano yung gusto

06:48:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007576

kunyong data.

06:48:21Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007577

Maari din ba nating malaman, Mr. Chair, kung

06:48:23Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007578

pwedeng magpaliwanag ang DBM?

06:48:26Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007579

Hindi lang ho, CWC,

06:48:27Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007580

JJWC ang nag-raise nung concerns

06:48:29Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007581

sa mga cuts pagdating sa

06:48:31Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007582

ICT-related

06:48:33Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007583

at na programs

06:48:35Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007584

at mga digitalization steps nila.

06:48:38Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007585

Ano ang paliwanag kung bakit?

06:48:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007586

Mr. Chair, hindi man ho ako

06:48:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007587

taga DBM, pero dahil active ho

06:48:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007588

kami sa pagpunta at pag-follow-up.

06:48:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007589

Admittedly,

06:48:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007590

the procurement process of

06:48:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007591

IT-related equipment is very

06:48:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007592

complicated. Manadalas ho,

06:48:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007593

nagmamarket scan, mababa yung

06:48:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007594

presyo na ipopost namin, mag-fail.

06:48:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007595

So, I believe, dun sa

06:48:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007596

kanilang pag-analisa, binalik lang nila

06:49:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007597

sa amin, actually, hindi nga pag-analisa

06:49:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007598

kung sinabi na sa amin, yung mga

06:49:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007599

sure-shot items, subscriptions,

06:49:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007600

yung mga alam nila

06:49:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007601

kaya namin i-procure. And then,

06:49:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007602

furthermore, I think the

06:49:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007603

national government through DICT is

06:49:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007604

embarking on a streamlining. Kasi

06:49:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007605

sa pagkakaunawa ko

06:49:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007606

in the last BICAM, lumabas

06:49:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007607

ho doon yung cut. Doon

06:49:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007608

naman ho nangyari yung cut, hindi

06:49:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007609

naman ho sa DBM.

06:49:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007610

Kasi nga nakita nila na in some

06:49:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007611

departments, hindi ho kami, hindi

06:49:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007612

siya nagtuturo ako, kung hindi, napakahirap

06:49:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007613

nung procurement process. Lagi

06:49:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007614

nag-fail, kaya ang laki nung underutilized.

06:49:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007615

So, from my understanding,

06:49:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007616

binawasan lang nila yun para maobligay mga

06:49:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007617

departamento to efficiently use

06:49:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007618

their ICT budgets.

06:49:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007619

Lalong-lalo na pagdating doon sa mga alam naman

06:49:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007620

namin, kaya at esensyal

06:49:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007621

i-procure, like subscriptions,

06:49:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007622

firewall for cyber security,

06:49:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007623

email subscriptions,

06:49:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007624

yan ho yung mga inuna nila.

06:49:57Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007625

Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair.

06:49:59Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007626

At kinakailangan din natin, nag-report kasi

06:50:01Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007627

dito yung DICT na gusto nila

06:50:03Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007628

na masynchronized, unified na

06:50:05Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007629

yung mga sistema natin pagdating

06:50:07Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007630

na sabi nyo gastos para sa mga

06:50:09Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007631

subscription, renewal ng mga licenses

06:50:11Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007632

at marami pang iba, na kung pwede

06:50:13Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007633

magtulungan yung mga agencies natin

06:50:15Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007634

pagdating sa mga gastusin na yan.

06:50:17Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007635

At magamit pa natin sa iba

06:50:19Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007636

yung mga pondo na kinakailangan

06:50:21Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007637

ng ating mga kababayan.

06:50:23Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007638

Ngayon naman, Mr. Chair, natanong ko kanina

06:50:25Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007639

yung tungkol sa sitwasyon ng mga

06:50:27Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007640

child development centers, child

asr-007641

minding centers, at supervised

06:50:31Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007642

neighborhood play. At nilinaw ng

06:50:33Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007643

DSWD na ang role nila

06:50:35Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007644

sa pagtitiyak

06:50:37Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007645

ng operation ng mga

06:50:39Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007646

mahalagang centers na ito ay may

06:50:41Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007647

kinalaman sa feeding program.

06:50:43Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007648

At yung mga nutritional requirements

06:50:45Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007649

po ng ating mga

06:50:47Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007650

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007651

sa mga centers nito.

Pwede ko ba kayo magbigay ng detalye

06:50:55Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007654

at technical support na binibigay ng DSWD?

06:50:57Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007655

O CWC? At ng

06:50:59Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007656

iba pang attached at supervised

06:51:01Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007657

agency sa mga centers nito?

06:51:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007658

Well, two things po. Una, pagdating sa

06:51:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007659

nutrisyon ng mga kabataan na nasa loob ng mga

06:51:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007660

ECC, mga

06:51:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007661

daycare centers natin,

06:51:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007662

kami ho talaga ang in-charge ho dyan.

06:51:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007663

We have a

06:51:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007664

information system wherein the enrollees

06:51:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007665

pag in-enroll nila, yun ho yung

06:51:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007666

angkop na halaga ng pagkain

06:51:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007667

na nakita nyo sa aming

06:51:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007668

line item na supplemental feeding program.

06:51:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007669

So, over the course of

06:51:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007670

the past four years,

06:51:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007671

ang ginagawa ho namin dyan,

06:51:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007672

almost 55% to

06:51:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007673

60% of that, din na-download na natin

06:51:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007674

directly sa mga local government unit

06:51:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007675

para sila mag-procure using the

06:51:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007676

hopefully we keep on pushing them to use

06:51:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007677

the sagipsaka law para

06:51:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007678

diretso na sa mga magsasaka. So, yun

06:51:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007679

ho yung assistance natin. It's

06:51:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007680

one, the financial assistance to

06:51:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007681

06:51:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007682

06:51:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007683

two, yung mga nutritionists namin of course

06:51:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007684

06:51:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007685

of menu or recipes that

06:51:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007686

they require. Para

06:52:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007687

masigurado natin na

06:52:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007688

to some degree, hindi

06:52:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007689

man pare-parehas yung pagkain, pero

06:52:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007690

yung nutritional at caloric intake

06:52:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007691

06:52:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007692

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

since national po yung scope namin,

06:54:53Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-007771

wala po kaming budget

06:54:54Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-007772

because hindi nga po kami umabot. Because yung

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-007773

timing po nung assumption ko is September

06:54:58Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-007774

asr-007775

kami umabot ng first hearing,

06:55:02Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-007776

budget hearing for 2026.

06:55:05Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-007777

So, wala po kaming

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

06:55:08Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-007779

Wala po kaming budget po talaga.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007784

sa sektor

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007785

na napakahalaga? Mr. Chair,

06:55:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007786

Madam Congresswoman,

06:55:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007787

though it is true na wala hong budget,

06:55:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007788

ang ginagawa na lang ho ng Departamento

06:55:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007789

namin is to carve it out from our existing

06:55:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007790

clusters. Para meron ho silang

06:55:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007791

pang-operate or pang-ikot because it will be unfair.

06:55:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007792

Sayang rin naman.

06:55:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007793

Gustong-gusto nila gawin yung

06:55:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007794

kanilang mandato. Pero,

06:55:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007795

admittedly, it's not enough. Kasi we're just

06:55:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007796

cannibalizing from existing

06:55:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007797

operations as far as practicable

06:55:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007834

Chair, unang talong

06:57:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007835

tanong kaugnay sa

06:57:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007836

usapin ng drugs.

06:57:05Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007837

Children

06:57:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007838

and youth and

06:57:08Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007839

substance use.

06:57:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007840

So, ano po ang

06:57:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007841

efforts ng DSWD

06:57:15Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007842

kaugnay dito?

06:57:18Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007843

Napakahalaga po ng usapin

06:57:20Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007844

na ito, lalo pa at

06:57:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007845

nanggaling tayo sa

06:57:23Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007846

marahas na drug war

06:57:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007847

na pangunahin.

06:57:27Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007848

Dahas ang ginamit.

06:57:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007849

Kaya nga may issue ng Crimes Against Humanity

06:57:32Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007850

ang previous

06:57:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007851

President. Dahil dyan.

06:57:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007852

So, importante na

06:57:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007853

maipakita ng gobyerno na merong

06:57:42Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007854

mga efektibong

06:57:44Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007855

programa para tugunan

06:57:46Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007856

yung usapin ng

06:57:47Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007857

drug use or substance use.

06:57:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007858

So, apparently, meron kayong

06:57:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007859

programang, program

06:57:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007860

silong? Is that correct?

06:57:57Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007861

Could you tell us?

06:57:57Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007862

About it? Anong ginagawa ng DSWD

06:58:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007863

kaugnay dyan?

06:58:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007864

At may, bakano ba ang budget na ito?

06:58:05Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007865

And will

06:58:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007866

this be carried forward or

06:58:07Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007867

institutionalized in the future?

06:58:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007868

Mr. Chairman, again, this program

06:58:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007869

is part of our Social Technology

06:58:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007870

Bureau. Pag nasa Social Technology Bureau,

06:58:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007871

ibig sabihin, pinapilot lang ho namin

06:58:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007872

before we expand it to make sure na

06:58:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007873

mabisa at effective.

06:58:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007874

It goes beyond just giving financial

06:58:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007875

assistance, but rather we use the

06:58:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007876

capacities ng aming mga social workers,

06:58:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007877

to help yung mga families cope with

06:58:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007878

what is happening to the family.

06:58:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007879

Kami kasi, naniniwala ko kami,

06:58:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007880

na sa tuwing may

06:58:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007881

krisis sa isang individual,

06:58:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007882

in this case, drug use or drug

06:58:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007883

dependency, yung buong pamilya

06:58:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007884

goes under stress. Hindi naman

06:59:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007885

nasasabi natin na ang stressful lang yung

06:59:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007886

yung mismong drug dependent,

06:59:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007887

kundi yung buong pamilya. So, this is

06:59:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007888

a family intervention

06:59:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007889

to help the family cope.

06:59:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007890

Sa ngayon, maliit lang ho yung budget niya.

06:59:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007891

Nang 2026,

06:59:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007892

it's at 900,000,

06:59:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007893

close to a million

06:59:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007894

for the pilot. Maliit lamang yung pilot.

06:59:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007895

But for 2027,

06:59:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007896

it's now at 8.6

06:59:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007897

million pesos.

06:59:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007898

By the way, Mr. Chair,

06:59:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007899

ano kami ho dito? Collaborating

06:59:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007900

partner lang kami ng Dangerous Drug Board.

06:59:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007901

Sa kanila talaga yung

06:59:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007902

heavy lifting. Kami pumapasok lang kami

06:59:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007903

kasi kami yung merong expertise on

06:59:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007904

psychosocial interventions,

06:59:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007905

as well as family support,

06:59:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007906

at yung design. Pero malamang,

06:59:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007907

hindi malamang, I'm very confident

06:59:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007908

na pag tinignan nyo yung Dangerous Drug Board,

06:59:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007909

this same program will appear at mas malaki

06:59:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007910

yung budget provision doon.

06:59:51Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007911

Ah, okay. So, from

06:59:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007912

an initial pilot,

06:59:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007913

tapos ngayon, for 2027,

06:59:59Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007914

8 million

07:00:00Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007915

8 million, from 900,000 to 8 million?

07:00:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007916

Yes, to provide that family intervention in terms of emotional support

07:00:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007917

para mapalaki pa natin, maparami po yung mga lugar na pinagsisilbihan.

07:00:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007918

Thank you po.

07:00:11Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007919

Next topic, haugnay po sa social pension beneficiaries.

07:00:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007920

Ito po yung under Republic Act 11916,

07:00:21Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007921

1,000 pesos monthly pension to qualified indigent senior citizens.

07:00:26Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007922

I think in your presentation kanina, correct me if I wrong,

07:00:29Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007923

if I'm wrong, may pinakita kayong statistics,

07:00:34Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007924

something like 550,000 qualified indigent senior citizens

07:00:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007925

pero hindi pa nakikinabang, hindi nakakatanggap nitong 1,000.

07:00:45Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007926

So was that correct?

07:00:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007927

Mr. Che, let me qualify that statement.

07:00:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007928

Yung 550,000, yan ho yung natagpuan namin sa CBMS.

07:00:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007929

Pero recently nga, alam namin na mas malaki pa yung numero.

07:00:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007930

It's almost double of what we're doing right now.

07:00:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007931

Pero hindi namin sila mahanap sa CBMS.

07:01:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007932

So tulad ng sinabi namin,

07:01:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007933

nag-propose kami ng panibagong mekanismo sa PSA

07:01:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007934

kung saan yung mga waitlist sa mga local government units,

07:01:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007935

sa mga OSCA offices nila,

07:01:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007936

kinukuha namin, ipapasa namin sa PSA

07:01:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007937

to tell them na wala sa CBMS

07:01:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007938

pero pakitignan, may birth registry ba ito?

07:01:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007939

At wala pa sa death registry.

07:01:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007940

Kung susuma, total natin yun, it's almost double.

07:01:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007941

Kasi as mentioned nga, ang population ng senior citizen natin

07:01:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007942

nasa 11 million, pero ang nakikater lang namin yan

07:01:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007943

is almost 5.

07:01:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007944

5 million or 5.5 million.

07:01:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007945

Yung binanggit ko kanina na 550,000, yun lang yun na sa CBMS.

07:01:36Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007946

Okay.

07:01:38Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007947

Sa inyong tansya, 11 million ang qualified indigent senior citizens?

07:01:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007948

Those are senior citizens.

07:01:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007949

Hindi pa namin namin sila naiisa-isa

07:01:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007950

because we don't want to raise their hopes.

07:01:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007951

But, nasa waitlist sila ng LGUs.

07:01:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007952

So some type of validation or application has been launched already.

07:01:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007953

Okay.

07:01:59Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007954

Pero, okay.

07:02:01Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007955

Yung total universe, kumbaga, 11 million.

07:02:03Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007956

Tapos ang sinasabi nyo, ang nabibigyan pala ngayon ng 1,000, 5.5 million.

07:02:09Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007957

Is that correct?

07:02:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007958

4.2 million.

07:02:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007959

4.2 million.

07:02:13Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007960

So potentially,

07:02:15Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007961

ilan yun?

07:02:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007962

It's almost double.

07:02:19Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007963

More than double.

07:02:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007964

Almost double, you're correct.

07:02:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007965

Okay.

07:02:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007966

So, for 2027,

07:02:31Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007967

ilan po ang target n'yong madagdag sa 4.5 million na kasalukuyang beneficiaries?

07:02:43Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007968

And do you have the budget proposal for that?

07:02:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007969

Mr. Chair, it's part of the list that we intended to submit today,

07:02:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007970

but we will edit because of the discussions this afternoon.

07:02:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007971

6.8 billion pa ho na karagdagan ang hinihingi natin

07:02:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007972

to be able to cover the more than double na hindi nila sa service.

07:03:02Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007973

So, tina-target nyo?

07:03:03Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007974

Tina-target nyo?

07:03:03Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007975

Tina-target nyo na maabot lahat for 2027,

07:03:06Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007976

kaya meron kayong proposal for over 6 billion additional.

07:03:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007977

That is correct.

07:03:11Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007978

Okay.

07:03:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007979

Masalamat po.

07:03:13Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007980

And we will support that, of course.

07:03:16Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007981

If you will propose that as an institutional amendment.

07:03:21Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007982

Okay.

07:03:22Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007983

Yung isang tanong na lang po,

07:03:24Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007984

yung kaugnay naman sa Expanded Centenarians Act.

07:03:30Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007985

Ayon dito,

07:03:31Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007986

So, upon reaching 80, 85, 90, 95 ng mga senior citizens,

07:03:37Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007987

they are entitled to a cash gift of 10,000.

07:03:40Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007988

No?

07:03:43Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007989

Ang tanong po, ang concern ay, siyempre,

07:03:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007990

kung matagal yung proseso minsan,

07:03:50Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007991

baka hindi na mapakinabangan ng mga senior citizens natin.

07:03:53Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007992

So, ano po ang status ng implementation nito?

07:03:55Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-007993

So,

07:03:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007994

Mr. Cheras earlier stated,

07:04:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007995

I would yield the floor to the NCSC representative

07:04:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007996

dahil supervised agency sila.

07:04:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007997

And in the letters na back and forth na binasa kanina ni Congresswoman Magsaysay,

07:04:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007998

they made it very clear that we are only to coordinate with them

07:04:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-007999

but not to interfere with their operations.

07:04:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008000

So, I would leave the answering to somebody who is more competent on the matter,

07:04:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008001

which is the NCSC Executive Director who is with us this afternoon.

07:04:25Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008002

Sige po.

07:04:26Source

asr-008005

07:04:46Source

asr-008007

And we have already utilized almost 2 billion of our 3.4 million budget.

As of August po, 2026.

07:05:09Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

07:05:10Source

asr-008015

This fiscal year?

07:05:12Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

07:05:33Source

Yung iba po, 100,000 kapag kapag nag-100 years old.

07:05:37Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Okay.

07:05:37Source

Gano'ng katagal po, average processing time?

asr-008031

Quarterly po kasi kami nagdi-distribute ng aming gift

07:05:48Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008032

because of budgetary constraints in the distribution of the gifts.

07:05:54Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008033

Okay.

07:05:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Okay.

asr-008049

Abot ang 100% dito?

07:06:31Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008050

Sa tansya po namin, sa dami po ng applications,

07:06:34Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008051

mukhang kukulangin po yung tansya namin na 299,000.

07:06:37Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008052

Kukulangin ng pondo?

07:06:39Source

asr-008053

Opo, kasi marami pong applications.

07:06:42Source

Gano'ng katagal o kabilis po ang processing time nyo?

07:07:06Source

asr-008063

Yan po ang concern ng mga lumapit sa amin na

07:07:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008064

nag-aalala sila na masyadong matagal yung processing time.

07:07:14Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008065

Opo, kasi every 3 months lang po kami nakaka-apply.

07:07:17Source

07:07:43Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008076

Makakarequest naman po kami sakali pong lumampas po sa 303,000

07:07:47Source

07:07:49Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008078

Makakarequest kayo kanino?

07:07:50Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008079

Sa DBM po.

07:07:52Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008080

Ah, sa DBM. You mean for augmentation from savings?

07:07:56Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008081

Gano'n po ba yun?

07:07:57Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008082

May iba po.

07:07:58Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008083

May iba pa bang source ang DBM?

07:08:01Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008084

Kasi po, pag nag-apply, saka lang po kami makakahingi ng augmentation sa budget.

07:08:09Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008085

Okay. Sige.

07:08:10Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-008086

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yun na lang po ang tanong natin.

07:08:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008087

Mr. Chairman, if I can just add for the information of Rep. Tinio.

07:08:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008088

Ulitin ko, ko-coordination po kami.

07:08:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008089

At nung iniwan po namin yung programa, we have highly encouraged ang NCSC to work with PSA.

07:08:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008090

Kasi remember, may CDMS naman po na po-forecast natin in advance.

07:08:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008091

Sino ang mag-80, 85, 90, 95, 100.

07:08:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008092

It doesn't have to be a by-application process.

07:08:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008093

Kasi I think, yung concern ho niyo, Congressman, doon na nga nga na ko,

07:08:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008094

yung nag-apply ako, nag-aantay ako.

07:08:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008095

Kasi minsan, mali yung, hindi pa mali, but mali yung projection.

07:08:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008096

But it's not a rocket science po.

07:08:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008097

The CDMS actually points us to the way.

07:08:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008098

We're now tallying it nga kasi may kopya ho kami niyan dahil nga sa social pension,

07:08:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008099

ilan ang forecasted.

07:08:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008100

But we can submit it to you and we will continue to encourage the NCSC to look at the paradigm

07:09:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008101

na i-forecast na lang natin in advance para tama po yung mahingi na pera sa DBM

07:09:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008102

at tayo na ho ang lalapit sa kanila kesa sila ang lalapit sa atin.

07:09:13Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

Sek, kung anong to, isang tanong lang. Yung tertiary education subsidy went through your portal, diba? That's about 400,000 students, scholars.

07:12:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008131

E-portal is with CHED, sir.

07:12:43Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008132

Pero you submit to them a list. You submit them a list. Kasi maliit lang yung, hindi namin na-increase yung katilang allowance, no?

07:12:53Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008133

It used to be 60,000.

07:12:55Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008134

Naging 30,000. So, it's like 15,000 per semester. As against before, 30,000 per semester.

07:13:05Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008135

Ngayon, since it went through the portal naman, kayo nagbibigay nung name. In fact, marami rin nag-question na, like in my district, no?

07:13:17Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008136

City of Coronadal is the regional center. We have no state college.

07:13:23Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008137

So, lahat.

07:13:25Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008138

At nag-a-avail ng UniFAST TES. Kasi lahat ng private school nasa City of Koronadal.

07:13:32Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008139

And all, ngayon, ang bagong policy, kailangan na kukunin yung mga new beneficiaries sa portal ng DSWD.

07:13:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008140

Mr. Chair, yung portal nasa CHED, what we do is...

07:13:49Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008141

Pero yung listahan, galing sa DSWD.

07:13:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008142

Since time immemorial po, even before this new TES law, nagsasubmit kami ng list sa kanila.

07:13:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008143

Ng mga 4Ps na eligible na dahil pagkukulehyo na po.

07:14:00Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008144

Kasi ngayon talagang in-implement na.

07:14:02Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008145

Na talagang galing lang sa listahan ninyo.

07:14:06Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008146

So, dahil hindi naman na-increase yung subsidy, ay yung allowance, is it possible na kung sino man yung mga nasa listahan, pwedeng maka-avail ng student assistance?

07:14:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008147

Theoretically, Mr. Chair, yun ho sa pagkakaunawa namin yung essence ng bagong amendment.

07:14:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008148

So, yung eligibility requirement, yung sa TES lang ho, hindi yun sa amin.

07:14:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008149

So, meaning, lahat ng eligible, ipapadala namin sa kanila.

07:14:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008150

Then, we'll tell our parents na punta na kayo sa State U, make sure mag-comply po kayo doon sa eligibility requirements nila.

07:14:43Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008151

Hindi, walang problema doon. Pero what I'm saying, kung pasok na sila doon, gusto naming dagdagan, can we go through DSWD?

07:14:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008152

Yes, Mr. Chair.

07:14:55Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008153

Kasi that's the only way na madagdagan yung...

07:14:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008154

By all means, Mr. Chair.

07:15:00Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008155

Importante yun kasi at least kahit papano, we can find a way na madagdagan kahit konti yung kanilang subsidy.

07:15:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008156

Mr. Chair, nasa menu pa rin naman ng AICS yan, so pwede po.

07:15:16Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008157

Okay. Yun lang, importante yun kasi at least alam ko, pwede ko na silang, pag nalista na sila, pwede pa ako magdagdag sa kanila.

07:15:25Source

Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez

asr-008158

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

07:15:26Source

Rep. JC Rahman A. Nava, M.D.

asr-008159

Thank you, SDS. We recognize kong Mila Magsaysay.

07:15:33Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008160

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We did everything po na makreate itong NCSC, National Commission on Senior Citizens,

07:15:46Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008161

para po meron na talagang sariling komisyon ang mga senior citizens para maalagaan naman po sila ng mabuti.

07:15:53Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008162

Okay.

07:15:53Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008163

Kasi ito na lang po, komisyon na ito, ang focus niya ay senior citizen.

07:15:59Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008164

So ngayon po, nagkukulang talaga ang budget nila.

07:16:03Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008165

Kasi unang-una na sila, kasi hindi nabibigay agad-agad yung centenary yan, yung 80-85-90-95.

07:16:15Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008166

E ang ano naman po nito ay talaga naman pong underman sila.

07:16:20Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008167

Kulang po sila sa tao.

07:16:22Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008168

No, kulang pa sila.

07:16:23Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008169

Sa mga empleyado.

07:16:26Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008170

So kung pwede po, ay humihingi sila ng additional na magkaroon ng job order.

07:16:33Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008171

Maski man lang po, two per province.

07:16:37Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008172

Para po, kasi we have only regional offices now, 18.

07:16:41Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008173

18 regions po, including Negros, 17.

07:16:46Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008174

So 18 regions na po.

07:16:48Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008175

So paano makaka-centenary yan?

07:16:53Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008176

Kung ilan lang po yung manpower nila.

07:16:58Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008177

So ngayon, they're asking for additional job orders.

07:17:02Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008178

Maski two per province man lang.

07:17:05Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008179

Para efficiently, maano nila yung programs and projects na nasa sa kanila.

07:17:12Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008180

At saka itong ATOP, nung nandun sa DSWD, ay 7.5 million ang budget.

07:17:21Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008181

Kasi noon, ano lang, FESCAP lang ang organization.

07:17:28Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008182

Ngayon, marami na pong senior citizens organization.

07:17:32Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008183

So kailangan naman po, mas malaki pa po ang ibigay na budget para makatulong po sila sa mga organizations.

07:17:40Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008184

So they're asking for 17 million.

07:17:43Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008185

Now they're given only 3.3 million.

07:17:45Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008186

Sa naman po, aabot ito sa dami ng mga senior citizens.

07:17:51Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008187

So ito pa po, ano na po ito, batas na po itong digitalization.

07:18:00Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008188

Kasi nag-gagather po sila ng data and information ng mga senior citizens.

07:18:07Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008189

So they were asking for 48 million para ma-digitalization ang NCSC.

07:18:17Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008190

Pero zero po ang ibinigay sa kanila.

07:18:21Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008191

E batas na po ito na lahat po ng government agencies, government offices should be digitalized para maging digital po sila.

07:18:36Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008192

So ito naman po, zero pong binigay.

07:18:40Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008193

They're asking for 48.

07:18:42Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008194

Baka naman po pwede na po nating ibigay ito para lalo pong makagather po sila ng information

07:18:49Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008195

tungkol sa mga senior citizens para mas madali po ang pagbibigay ng mga benefits and privileges ng mga seniors.

07:19:00Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008196

Ito naman po, livelihood.

07:19:03Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008197

Kailangan-kailangan po ng mga senior citizens ang livelihood.

07:19:08Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008198

Humingi po sila ng 54 million.

07:19:10Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008199

4 million lang po ang binigay.

07:19:12Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008200

12 million po ang senior citizens.

07:19:15Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008201

Napakadami po ang mga organizations.

07:19:17Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008202

Kailangan po nila ang livelihood.

07:19:21Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008203

Kasi para po ang mga senior citizens, hindi na po umaasa sa ayuda na pumipila po sila dyan para lang sa 2,000 na mukha silang kawawa at nawawala ng dignidad ang mga senior citizens.

07:19:36Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008204

So kung pwede po, dagdagan naman po ang livelihood para mabigyan nila ng livelihood ang mga senior citizens para magiging makatayo po sila sa sarili.

07:19:47Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008205

Hindi po sila umaasa ng mga ayuda.

07:19:53Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008206

NCSC asked for 54 million.

07:19:56Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008207

4 million lang po ang ibinigay.

07:19:59Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008208

Saan naman po dadating yung 4 million sa livelihood ng 12 million senior citizens?

07:20:05Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008209

So yan po.

07:20:07Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008210

At ito pa po, isa pa po.

07:20:09Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008211

Yung mga nagbibigay ng mga benefits,

07:20:14Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008212

daladala po nila yung pera, nagtatricycle po sila.

07:20:17Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008213

Kasi wala pong service ang mga regional offices.

07:20:23Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008214

So kung pwede po, mabigyan po sila, mas kisa lang pong service kada region para naman po may sasakyan yung mga magbibigay ng mga benefits ng mga senior citizens.

07:20:37Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008215

So they were asking for a capital outlay of 111,300,000.

07:20:45Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008216

Zero po ang ibinigay.

07:20:47Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008217

Paano po magiging efficient ang NCSC sa pagbibigay ng mga benefits kung wala man lang po silang sasakyan para magbigay ng mga beneficyo na ito?

07:21:03Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008218

At wala po silang security guard.

07:21:06Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008219

Eh naghahawak po sila ng mga millions.

07:21:09Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008220

So yan po, itong capital outlay, dito po pupunta sa vehicle per province.

07:21:17Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008221

Itong vehicle, at saka yung gasolina po, at saka security guard.

07:21:23Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008222

Ngayon po, all in all, ang Negros Island region po, wala pong budget.

07:21:29Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008223

Eh kailangan din po ng region na yan ng budget nila.

07:21:33Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008224

Wala po silang budget.

07:21:35Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008225

So they are requesting 498 million.

07:21:41Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008226

Ang naibigay lang po is 314 million.

07:21:46Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008227

A difference of...

07:21:47Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008228

Of 184 million.

07:21:50Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008229

Siguro naman po, napakaliit po yan.

07:21:53Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008230

Na hinihingi, nakaragdagan, para they can efficiently implement projects and programs

07:22:01Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008231

and give benefits to the senior citizens faster and on time.

07:22:10Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008232

That's all for the budget of NCSC.

07:22:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008233

Mr. Chair, if I may answer, even if I'm not from NCSC, kasi nandito ho yung representative ng DBM,

07:22:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008234

I'm quite familiar with the issue.

07:22:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008235

Tulad nung nabanggit ko kanina, we need to project kasi properly yung catchment natin o yung physical targets natin.

07:22:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008236

Ang main mandate naman ho ng NCSC at this point in time will be the expanded centenarian.

07:22:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008237

So what's happening from my understanding, kaya ho, minsan kulang yung na-appropriate together with the admin costs.

07:22:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008238

Kasi pag may admin costs naman yan, makakapag-hire sila ng COS nila.

07:22:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008239

And then later on...

07:22:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008240

DBM can also provide the other support services.

07:22:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008241

Eh, yung physical targets kasi pabaliktad, post, mag-a-apply ka muna, susuriin, tsaka natin hihingiin yung pera.

07:22:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008242

Kaya give or take may shortfall.

07:23:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008243

We've already coordinated with NCSC at we're encouraging them to sign a data sharing agreement with PSA

07:23:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008244

para makuha nila yung CBMS kasi napoproject po yun.

07:23:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008245

The 80, 85, 90, 95, and 100, napoproject yun three years in advance.

07:23:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008246

Kasi I would assume, I would like to think the good congressman believes na huwag na natin antayin silang lumapit kundi tayo ang lumapit.

07:23:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008247

So if they have a three-year rolling plan as we recommended, na alam na nila yung kanila mga physical targets,

07:23:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008248

I'm sure Secretary Kim and the DBM family will grant them the necessary subsidies.

07:23:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008249

Together, nakap-embed na doon yung administrative costs for them to be able to hire more contract of service if that's what they need.

07:23:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008250

Hindi lang hudala.

07:23:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008251

Kasi siyempre kung malaki yung subsidy mo, may kaakibat po yan na MOE or admin costs.

07:23:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008252

I think at more than 5%, ang admin costs at more than 5%.

07:23:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008253

So ang punto ko doon, I think we have to look at it from a paradigm na huwag sila nag-a-apply kundi tayo ang gumawa ng three-year rolling plan

07:24:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008254

para naka-forecast na actuarial style ilan ang magiging 80, 85, 90, 95 way, way in advance.

07:24:12Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008255

Yes, yes. Tama po yun.

07:24:15Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008256

Pero ito nga.

07:24:17Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008257

Itong digitalization, kailangan-kailangan po ito para makakuha sila ng mga datas at information sa mga senior citizen na mag-80, 85, 90, 95.

07:24:30Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008258

E zero po ang budget nila dito.

07:24:34Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008259

At saka yun nga po, yung additional, kailangan talaga kasi kokonti po ang empleyado ng NCSC.

07:24:41Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008260

So paano naman sila makapag-implement ng mga projects efficiently?

07:24:47Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008261

Kung kokonti naman sa region, 17 regions, regional ang opisina, kokonti pa yung empleyado, paano sila maka-implement?

07:24:58Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008262

So yan po, humihingi ng additional budget kasi 314 lang yung na-release, e what is 184 million naman na maidagdag sa NCSC para naman po maka-implement sila ng projects efficiently.

07:25:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008264

Ma'am, Mr. Chair, it would be a disservice kasi nandito yung DBM representative.

07:25:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008265

I think kasi bird's eye view, nandun ho ako from the start till now.

07:25:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008266

So it would be a disservice for me not to advocate kung ano ho yung mga nangyaring usapan ho noon at lalong-lalo na wala dito si Secretary Kim.

07:25:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008267

Let me be the one to explain.

07:25:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008268

Ma'am, hindi ho kailangan ng data because the CBMS has the data already.

07:25:42Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008269

Okay.

07:25:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008270

Yun ho ang ginagamit namin sa 4Ps.

07:25:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008271

Yun ang ginagamit namin sa social data.

07:25:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008272

Yun ang ginagamit namin sa pension.

07:25:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008273

Yun ang ginagamit namin sa lahat ng programa.

07:25:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008274

Nandun na ho ang edad.

07:25:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008275

Nandun na ho ang address.

07:25:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008276

All we have to do is get the list.

07:25:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008277

I-ease filter lang ho natin.

07:25:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008278

Then, pagdating ho sa usapin ng contract of service, hindi na ho natin kailan humingi pa ng karagdagan kasi kung lumaki yung subsidies nila o yung MOE nila na naaayon sa kanilang physical targets, may kaakibat na not more than 5% na administrative cost yun.

07:26:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008279

So that gives them the leg room to be able to hire more contractors.

07:26:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

And be able to spend on supplies and all that na para magampanan yung paglapit sa kanilang mga 80, 85, 90, 95 at 100.

07:26:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008282

We can really project that ahead of time as far off as 3 years from now.

07:26:34Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008283

Anong masasabi ninyo, NCSC?

07:26:43Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008284

Chair?

07:26:45Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008285

Good afternoon again.

07:26:47Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008286

What we're using is data from PSA PhilSys, which is complete.

07:26:52Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008287

Unlike...

07:26:53Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008288

Unlike CBMS, there are LGUs that are not included yet in the CBMS because our LGUs who cannot pay for the cost of CBMS cannot be included.

07:27:08Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008289

So yun po ang ginagamit namin, PhilSys.

07:27:12Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008290

We can do that and we are in talks with PSA PhilSys para they can provide us the data that we need.

07:27:22Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008291

Except that when...

07:27:23Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008292

When we met them, they wanted a court order for them to be able to share their data to the NCSC.

07:27:29Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008293

And so, in our meetings with DICT, who is already developing an app for the applications of our senior citizens,

07:27:42Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008294

they have advised us to write the Office of the President so that the PhilSys PSA can actually share their data.

07:27:52Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008295

To the NCSC so that we can actually project the true number of senior citizens who will be benefiting from the cash gift of the ECA program.

07:28:09Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008296

Okay.

07:28:10Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008297

Pero kailangan ma-digitalize kayo ang office ninyo, no?

07:28:14Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008298

Para it will be more efficient na makagather din kayo ng talaga information.

07:28:19Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008299

Kasi may...

07:28:22Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008305

Online registration kayo, di ba?

07:28:25Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008306

So, kailangan din ninyo talaga na ma-upgrade.

07:28:29Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008307

Kong Mila, kailangan-kailangan po.

07:28:31Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008308

Kasi we cannot capture all the data that we need about our senior citizens without, you know, a system that can actually capture these data.

07:28:44Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008309

Ang ginagamit po namin ngayon na senior citizens online registration is what?

07:28:51Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008310

Homegrown.

07:28:54Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008311

Kami-kami lang.

07:28:55Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008312

Sapagkat wala nga po kaming pondo para pondohan yung system na kailangan namin.

07:29:00Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008313

So, for us to be able to be a reliant agency where all the data needed about senior citizens can be derived from, we need that system po.

07:29:12Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008314

Okay.

07:29:13Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008315

At saka ito nga, itong request nyo for vehicles in every region, alam mo na witness ko mismo yan sa Region 1.

07:29:21Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008316

Kasi daga doon ako, na nag-pay-pay out sila, may daladala silang pera, naka-tricycle sila.

07:29:28Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008317

So, hindi bali doon, pinapahiram ko yung service namin doon.

07:29:32Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008318

Pero how about the other regions?

07:29:34Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008319

So, talagang it is very necessary na meron nga kayong, merong service in every region, mas kisaman lang.

07:29:41Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008320

At saka security guard para meron silang kasama pag sila'y nagbabayad ng mga benefits.

07:29:49Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008321

So, 184.

07:29:51Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008322

184 milyon ang kailangan nyong additional.

07:29:54Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008323

Yes po, 111 milyon para po sa transportation costs and the...

07:30:00Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008324

20, above 20 million for security services po.

07:30:05Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008325

So, Mr. Chair, Mr. Chair, yes, ay Madam Chair, andito pala si Mika.

07:30:14Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008326

Madam Chair, 184 million lang naman ang hinihiling nila na additional para naman po,

07:30:23Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008327

para naman maka, maano nga, efficiently they can implement the programs and projects under the NCSC.

07:30:30Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008328

No, it's napakaliit naman po yun, para, just to give justice to the 12 million senior citizens, no?

07:30:39Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008329

At isa pa pong concern, kasi at saka Negros Island, wala silang, zero, zero ang budget nila.

07:30:46Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008330

So, madagdagan man lang ng 184, 84,000, 84 million.

07:30:52Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008331

Para, para mabigyan din ng budget ang ano.

07:30:58Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008332

Sa kaisa pa, itong LGBTQ office, no, zero po ang, ang budget nila.

07:31:06Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008333

Bakit naman, parang discrimination naman sa mga LGBTQ na marami naman pong mga senior citizens.

07:31:13Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008334

Bakit zero ang budget nila?

07:31:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008335

Ellen has already answered that, but I think she can clarify again.

07:31:22Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008336

Actually, I just want to express our, we are grateful po sa our secretary po of the SWD,

07:31:30Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008337

kasi sila po yung nag-house sa amin and even provided po our MOOE and also the administrative support po,

07:31:38Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008338

as stated po ng Executive Order 51.

07:31:41Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008339

So, yeah, kaya po ma'am, mawala rin po kaming budget because of the timing of my appointment,

07:31:47Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008340

which is September 29 of last year.

07:31:50Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008341

So, when the budget, first budget hearing,

07:31:52Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008342

po, was conducted, hindi po kaya kasi I was by myself,

07:31:58Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008343

limited po yung staff ko, so hindi po kami nakapag-participate.

07:32:03Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008344

It entails a lot of work po and documentations po, so hindi po kami nakaabot.

07:32:08Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008345

That's why po.

07:32:09Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008346

And also, nung nag-propose na po kami for the another hearing, a budget hearing,

07:32:15Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008347

hindi naman po pinayagan ng DBM.

07:32:18Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008348

That's why I'm pleading po na sana po mapagbigyan po kami para po naman,

07:32:22Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008349

magawa namin yung mandate ng EO 51, which is signed non-other by our President Marcos po.

07:32:31Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008350

So, yeah, we want to work na sana according to our mandate.

07:32:36Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008351

So, magkakaroon na kayo ng budget?

07:32:40Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008352

Yun po yung piniplid po namin, nakikiusap po sana kami na sana po mapagbigyan po kami

07:32:46Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008353

so we can function po, our office can really function based po sa mandate, which is policymaking po.

07:32:52Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008354

And maliit lang po yung budget na iniling namin, which is 35 million for 2027,

07:32:58Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008355

and that is in national scope po yan.

07:33:01Source

Undersecretary Ellen Pasion

asr-008356

And meron na rin po kaming plan for 2027 on how to use the budget or utilize the budget appropriately po.

07:33:11Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008357

Okay, thank you.

07:33:12Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008358

Sana po we will consider the budget of the LGBTQ.

07:33:17Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008359

Kasi kailangan din naman maasikaso rin sila eh.

07:33:22Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008360

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. That's all. Thank you.

07:33:42Source

I would like to express my gratitude, of course, to Vice Chair Ramanava for his exemplary leadership

07:34:15Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008369

in managing today's deliberations for BSWD.

07:34:21Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008370

So far po, you started at 9 a.m. po, di ba?

07:34:24Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008371

So it's already, we're almost close to 8 hours.

07:34:28Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008372

Nagbibidyo.

07:34:29Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008373

Hindi ba po tayo tapos?

07:34:31Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008374

Nagbibidyo na sila po kasi bakit termination na?

07:34:34Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008375

But I just wanted to say,

07:34:36Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008376

thank you po.

07:34:36Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008377

And I would like to thank all the members of the House,

07:34:39Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008378

our colleagues for your active participation in today's hearings.

07:34:43Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008379

Of course, I would like to say thank you to the BSWD family.

07:34:46Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008380

And of course, our, alba, one of the, I would say, best secretaries talaga to work with,

07:34:53Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008381

Secretary Rex Gachalian.

07:34:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008382

Thank you.

07:34:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008383

Thank you so much po, Sec, for all of your help in our locality.

07:35:02Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008384

So, siguro po, Sec, before we terminate,

07:35:04Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008385

I would just like to ask...

07:35:06Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008386

I would just like to ask a few questions.

07:35:08Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008387

The first one po, sorry, magsisinita po ako ng parokyal concern.

07:35:12Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008388

Very quick lang po.

07:35:13Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008389

Last year po, during the deliberations,

07:35:16Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008390

I raised the concern around the creation of plantilia positions

07:35:20Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008391

or the regularization of the field workers for the different programs.

07:35:27Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008392

For peace po, hindi ganun kalaki yung problema

07:35:29Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008393

because it's a law, it's institutionalized.

07:35:32Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008394

But for AICs and for the other programs po,

07:35:36Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008395

madami po nating mga field workers, mga social workers,

07:35:40Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008396

ay hindi pa social workers kasi hindi pa sila plantilia eh.

07:35:42Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008397

But we have a lot of field workers who have been working with BSWD

07:35:47Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008398

for almost close to 10 years and still they are not yet regularized.

07:35:52Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008399

I would advocate for the workers po in our province.

07:35:58Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008400

This one I raised po under the leadership of RD Vinos, PD Au,

07:36:06Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008401

and...

07:36:06Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008402

As of today po, the plantilia positions which I advocated for last year

07:36:13Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008403

are still not created po.

07:36:15Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008404

So it's already been a year, they're still not regularized.

07:36:18Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008405

So I advocate po ulit, SEC, sana po ma-regularize na sila.

07:36:24Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008406

Anim lang naman po yata sila o balo.

07:36:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008407

Madam Chair, our apologies, pero konting-konti na lang po na pag-aantay.

07:36:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008408

I spoke to Secretary Kim around 400...

07:36:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008409

584 AICS positions are now forthcoming.

07:36:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008410

These are regular positions.

07:36:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008411

And we'll see to it that those deserving employees na napakatagal na

07:36:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008412

and hard-performing gets to get their dibs on this.

07:36:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008413

Ang nauna ko kasing lumabas yung 5,000 para sa 4P's.

07:36:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008414

And then nasundan ng 16 or 20?

07:36:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008415

90.

07:36:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008416

90 sa disaster and then sa social tech around 80 plus.

07:37:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008417

So ito na ho yung next.

07:37:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008418

I was just with him last Friday.

07:37:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008419

And sabi niya, padating na, kumbaga, nandiyan na ho, antay na lang namin.

07:37:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008420

And we will see to it that the employees who deserve will get those plantile positions.

07:37:13Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008421

Secrex, maungulit ako up until plenary.

07:37:16Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008422

Because it's already been a year since this was raised.

07:37:19Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008423

I think we saw that even more when we, during our response to the Middle East crisis.

07:37:27Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008424

Even the fuel and the transport allowance, sila na po talaga yung...

07:37:33Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008425

Yeah, bubog sa dati.

07:37:35Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008426

...pliners po talaga natin.

07:37:38Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008427

24-7 po.

07:37:39Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008428

Diba, they were working already all over the country.

07:37:42Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008429

So I'll advocate for them po, Secrex, na sana po magawa.

07:37:45Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008430

Tama-tama, nandito somewhere si Director Ben Gillette ng DBM na may hawk sa amin.

07:37:49Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008431

She will make sure, ako na magkocommit, na bibigay niya sa amin yung papel ng regularization ng AICS positions.

07:37:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008432

Apo.

07:37:57Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008433

And I hope po when it's...

07:37:59Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008434

Sana po maramdaman din po all across the country.

07:38:03Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008435

Yung creation of the...

07:38:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008436

Unfortunately.

07:38:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008437

Malikit pa lang po yung binigay sa amin, 584.

07:38:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008438

But as Secretary Kim said, it's going to be gradual, tuloy-tuloy naman po.

07:38:11Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008439

Okay po.

07:38:12Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008440

I just want to advocate for them, Secrex.

07:38:14Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008441

I know you advocate for your people as well.

07:38:16Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008442

But we'll just put a little bit more pressure on DBM na sabi...

07:38:20Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008443

Sorry po, ata tawagin.

07:38:21Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008444

On the spot po na.

07:38:22Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008445

Si Director Bench ba yan?

07:38:23Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008446

Nandyan, yes.

07:38:24Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008447

Okay, Director Bench, are you on the spot?

07:38:26Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008448

It's been a year.

Yan, Director.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008450

Sorry, Director Bench.

07:38:33Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008451

Sorry, you're on the spot.

07:38:35Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008452

Ako na po kasi sila talaga po yung frontliners natin, eh.

07:38:45Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-008453

We'll have to turn on po, Madam Chair.

07:38:47Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-008454

Actually, tama naman po, Secrex.

07:38:49Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-008455

As discussed po with Secretary Kim po nung Friday, for approval na po siya.

07:38:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008456

Actually, ang exact words is, Sec. Kim, di ba?

07:38:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008457

Nandyan na, na-approve na, hanapin lang yung papel.

07:39:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008458

Pero padating na, di ba?

07:39:04Source

DBM Director IV Benjieleth M. Zuñiga

asr-008459

For approval na po niya, may question lang po siya doon sa bureau na nag...

07:39:08Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008460

Ano?

07:39:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008461

Madam Chair, I will see to it that I call Sec. Kim to remind him so that we get those positions in

07:39:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008462

with a priority na yung mga matatagal na humauna, then follow up the next succeeding position.

07:39:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008463

I just want to point out, to be fair with DBM, wala man sila dito.

07:39:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008464

Ang total na nilabas na nila for 2026 na plantili positions namin is 8,463,

07:39:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008465

of which 5,000 plus went to 4Ps, at the rest nakakalat.

07:39:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008466

Itong sa AICS lang may clarification, pero I don't think we have...

07:39:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008467

any disagreement whatsoever.

07:39:43Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008468

Thank you po, Sec. Director Bench.

07:39:46Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008469

Mahungulit lang po talaga kami.

07:39:48Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008470

Because it's been a year since I spoke about it.

07:39:54Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008471

Budgeteering po yun ng DSWD.

07:39:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008472

So I'd like to follow up lang po, just to advocate for our frontliners,

07:40:02Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008473

our field personnel who are there every day,

07:40:06Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008474

disbursing, distributing all of the services that DSWD provides.

07:40:10Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008475

So alam naman yun ni Secrex talaga how much I've been making kulit about this over the past year.

07:40:17Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008476

Kasi po, nakita ko po talaga, iba mag-reddit tayo na lang, hindi pa sila na-regularize.

07:40:23Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008477

So hopefully po, 400 plus positions po, Secrex, right?

07:40:27Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008478

That's what we're expecting for 584 positions.

07:40:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008479

Yeah, for AICS in particular.

07:40:33Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008480

Okay. 4Ps done na po. End disaster.

07:40:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008481

First batch po, 5,000 na po yun. May buntot pa ulit na another 5,000.

07:40:40Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008482

Apo. Sige po, Secrex. We'll work together po.

07:40:43Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008483

We'll, mag-ulit po tayo sa DBM to advocate for our frontliners.

07:40:50Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008484

Thank you, Secrex.

07:40:52Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008485

I'll move lang po to, there's a, one of our initiatives in the Committee on Appropriations

07:41:01Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008486

is to put forth some of the questions of the civil society organizations.

07:41:06Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008487

And this morning po, Senior Vice Chair,

07:41:10Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008488

Abbot Garcia, and several of our vice chairpersons in the Committee on Appropriations

07:41:14Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008489

conducted the People's Budget Review.

07:41:16Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008490

So mayroon na pong engagement sa civil society organizations as to what insights they have

07:41:22Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008491

with regard to particular agencies, particular budget items, and the like.

07:41:27Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008492

And similarly po, we also committed to them that we will propound questions on their behalf to the agency.

07:41:37Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008493

So I have here a few.

07:41:39Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008494

A few of the questions.

07:41:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008495

And if you would allow me po, Secrex, I'd just like to ask some of their questions po.

07:41:47Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008496

The first would be from Enet with regard to early childhood care and development.

07:41:52Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008497

I believe this was tackled earlier today as well.

07:41:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008498

Particularly with regard to the supplementary feeding program of the SWD.

07:42:01Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008499

The question is, DSWD's supplementary feeding declined from 9.564 billion

07:42:09Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008500

in fiscal year 2026 to 6.359 billion in 2027 in the NEP,

07:42:16Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008501

while the target remains 1,899,415 children in CDCs and SNPs.

07:42:25Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008502

Question po, how will the SWD maintain the same beneficiary target

07:42:29Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008503

with roughly 3.2 billion less in funding?

07:42:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008504

If you can recall, Madam Chair,

07:42:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008505

dinagdagan yung number of days kaya lumaki ho yan eh.

07:42:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008506

To synchronize with the target.

07:42:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008507

To synchronize with the DepEd from 120 to 180 days.

07:42:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008508

So binalik lang ho sa 120.

07:42:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008509

So meaning, same number of beneficiaries, lesser number of days.

07:42:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008510

But we put it in our...

07:42:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008511

Nilagay natin, no?

07:42:52Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008512

But again, we will respect the wisdom of Congress

07:42:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008513

if you wish to synchronize it back to 180

07:43:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008514

para tugmang-tugma kami with DepEd.

07:43:03Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008515

Thank you, Secrex.

07:43:04Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008516

Actually, that was one of the concerns that was raised by SecSun

07:43:09Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008517

yesterday.

07:43:10Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008518

It's really the cut from...

07:43:13Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008519

The difference essentially from the 2026 GA-A level

07:43:16Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008520

of roughly 26 billion for the school-based feeding program

07:43:20Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008521

down back to the 2026 NEP level of 11 billion.

07:43:26Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008522

So that was one of the discussions yesterday po.

07:43:29Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008523

It will take that into consideration as we look through the budget.

07:43:34Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008524

Pero given the limited fiscal space po,

07:43:36Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008525

we'll do the best that we can.

07:43:39Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008526

They were just asking po, Secrex, as a follow-up question,

07:43:43Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008527

what meal cost, number of feeding days, and nutritional standards

07:43:46Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008528

are assumed under the 6.359 billion allocation?

07:43:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008529

We're still at the 25 pesos per meal cap,

07:43:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008530

which is an increase when we joined this administration.

07:43:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008531

It was only at maliit lang ngayon, 18 pesos.

07:43:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008532

So we're now at 25 pesos.

07:44:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008533

And then milk for the undernourished is at 22 pesos,

07:44:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008534

which we get from the Carabao Center.

07:44:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008535

And then 120 days, as mentioned.

07:44:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008536

And then the caloric intake is based on the FNRI-approved Pinggang Pinoy.

07:44:20Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008537

Thank you, Secrex.

07:44:21Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008538

And finally po, will any part of the cost be shifted to LGUs, parents, or other sources?

07:44:26Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008539

And how will DSWD prevent inequities between richer and poorer LGUs?

07:44:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008540

Again, it's based on enrollment.

07:44:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008541

Once they enter the number of children enrolled in their IS system,

07:44:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008542

dun lang naman namin hinipin.

07:44:39Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008543

So the more enrollment, the more you get.

07:44:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008544

Obviously, it's an efficient way of doing it.

07:44:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008545

Kesa kung mag-a-allocate kami ng fix,

07:44:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008546

pero hindi naman nila natatamaan yung bilang ng studyante na nag-e-enroll.

07:44:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008547

But on a separate note,

07:44:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008548

if they mean kung ipapass on namin yung cost sa iba, hindi po.

07:44:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008549

Pero ang nangyayari ngayon,

07:44:59Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008550

because of the

07:45:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008551

difficulty in central procurement

07:45:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008552

and logistics of handling fresh goods,

07:45:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008553

65%, 55%

07:45:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008554

to 60% of this is downloaded

07:45:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008555

directly to the LGUs that

07:45:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008556

we mandated or encouraged

07:45:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008557

them to use the Sagip Saka Law

07:45:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008558

para diretso ho in procurement sa ating

07:45:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008559

mga magsasaka. So, as much

07:45:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008560

as we can, we empower the local government units

07:45:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008561

kasi they're the ones providing the

07:45:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008562

teachers anyway. And from our

07:45:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008563

experience, LGUs

07:45:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008564

also augment.

07:45:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008565

Kasi hindi naman ho sapat

07:45:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008566

minsan sa maraming LGUs, nagdadagdag pa

07:45:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008567

ng bilang

07:45:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008568

or ng number para

07:45:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008569

tumaas yung unit cost.

07:45:37Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008570

Thank you, Secrex. Those are the questions

07:45:39Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008571

from ENET pertaining to early

07:45:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008572

childhood care and development.

07:45:43Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008573

Another

07:45:44Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008574

CSO po who would like to ask

07:45:47Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008575

questions would be FSL National

asr-008578

Affairs.

07:45:54Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008579

A few questions

07:45:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008580

po. There are two questions.

07:45:57Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008581

If we may direct the question

07:46:00Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008582

po, Secrex.

07:46:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008583

She will be in a better position to answer.

07:46:03Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008584

Thank you po. The first question would be

07:46:06Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008585

please enumerate all prior

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008604

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008605

interpretation. And currently

07:46:49Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008606

there's a work

07:46:51Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008607

negotiation going on between

07:46:53Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008608

NCDA, PADI and

07:46:56Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008609

the DSWD Academy

07:46:57Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008610

regarding provision of FSL training to all LGUs.

07:47:04Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008611

Thank you.

07:47:05Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008612

And last question, how has the council complied with,

07:47:09Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008613

as evidenced in PS appropriations previously and prospectively for 2027,

07:47:15Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008614

for the mandate of RA 10524 on quotas for hiring of persons with disabilities,

07:47:22Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008615

specifically deaf persons?

07:47:24Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008616

What kinds of positions are these deaf hires?

07:47:27Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008617

Currently, our positions in our local government units,

07:47:35Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008618

we have 97.4% engagement or persons with disability compliance.

07:47:43Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008619

But only 400 are those who have regular positions.

07:47:50Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008620

The rest are focal persons.

07:47:54Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008621

And the NCDA will provide,

07:47:56Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008622

07:48:00Source

NCDA Executive Director Glenda D. Relova

asr-008623

who and how many persons are deaf under the PDAU.

07:48:13Source

Committee member

asr-008624

Yes, yung submission.

07:48:15Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008625

Thank you very much.

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008626

So those are the questions from FSL National Network

07:48:22Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008627

pertaining to the National Council for Disability Affairs.

07:48:25Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008628

So I hope that clarifies the questions for our CSO partners.

07:48:28Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008629

Again, we would like to reiterate our commitment

07:48:32Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008630

on the part of the Committee on Appropriations to continue,

07:48:35Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008631

continuously engage with the CSOs by being the bridge to the agencies.

07:48:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008632

Secretary?

07:48:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008633

Just to clarify, the initial submission we had did not contain the discussions that,

07:48:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008634

the items that came about, yes, from the discussion today.

07:48:50Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008635

No, but because of this discussion again today,

07:48:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008636

there were new items that might land.

07:48:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008637

Yes, there's more, Madam Chair.

07:48:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008638

So we will send it to you.

07:49:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008639

Three or four items.

07:49:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008640

We'll see to it that we submit it.

07:49:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008641

Madam Chair, if I may just be allowed,

07:49:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008642

I know it's post. Para akong nagre-react lastly, but we just got word.

07:49:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008643

I'll go back to Mila kasi it's a very important issue itong sa NCSC.

07:49:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008644

I just can't let it slide.

07:49:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008645

I just want to clarify na ang National ID, as confirmed by the PSA just now,

07:49:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008646

is not the mode to identify.

07:49:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008647

The mode to identify is the CBMS para mahanap natin yung 80, 85, 90, 95, 100.

07:49:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008648

Accordingly, mali po yung notion ng executive director ng NCSC

07:49:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008649

na National ID ho ang gagamitin. Hindi po ang pag-identify; CBMS

07:49:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008650

at kumpleto po yung fields noon: birthday, address, so on and so forth.

07:49:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008651

Ang National ID gagamitin lamang po yan para i-validate kung yung taong yun ay sinasabi niya,

07:49:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008652

ako si Rex Gatchalian.

07:49:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008653

Ako ba talaga si Rex Gatchalian?

07:49:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008654

Parang nabaliktad nila ho ata.

07:50:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008655

Number two, a simple data sharing agreement between them,

07:50:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008656

NCSC,

07:50:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008660

And PSA will be suffice.

07:50:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008661

You don't need a court order to do that.

07:50:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008662

Among government agencies, that will only cause more delay.

07:50:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008663

Habang nag-aantay na ho kayo na kailangan mabigyan po lahat ng mga 80, 85, 90, 95, 100.

07:50:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008664

Uulitin ko po.

07:50:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008665

You can anticipate sino magba-birthday ng 80, 85 as far as three years down the road.

07:50:28Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008666

We need to help DBM.

07:50:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008667

Kasi wala yung DBM dito na parang sila yung may kasalanan eh.

07:50:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008668

You need to help DBM.

07:50:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008669

You need to help DBM identify, and CBMS may not be the perfect list, but it gives you some type of confidence level.

07:50:43Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008670

Parang actuarial yan eh.

07:50:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008671

Para ma-identify na natin ahead of time.

07:50:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008672

Plus, on demand from the local OSCA offices,

07:50:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008673

that you can cross-check between their birth and their death certificates or registries.

07:50:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008674

Hindi naman ho kailangan komplikado, Mr. Chair, Madam Chair.

07:51:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008675

Hindi ho kailangan maging komplikado ho ito.

07:51:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008676

Pinasa na namin yung sistema.

07:51:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008677

And I would highly encourage NCSC to look into that.

07:51:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008678

Kasi like you said, ang nagsu-suffer ho yung mga matatanda,

07:51:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008679

and at the same time hihingi na naman tayo ulit ng pera sa DBM.

07:51:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008680

We're in the regime of a very tight fiscal space.

07:51:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008681

And we're trying to streamline and optimize.

07:51:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008682

Nandoon ho kasi ako sa diskusyon tungkol ho dito since Secretary Mina till now.

07:51:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008683

Kaya hindi ko puwedeng palagpasin yung sinasabi nila na kailangan ng court order, kailangan ng National ID.

07:51:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008684

I think they really have to talk to PSA kasi yung PSA nagre-react

07:51:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008685

at dinadala ngayon yung sagot sa amin

07:51:37Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008686

na tama yung notion ho namin.

07:51:38Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008687

I just don't want to let the commission, the committee, end its hearing.

07:51:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008688

At yun ang nakalagay sa minutes.

07:51:44Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008689

I dispute every single fact raised by the Executive Director of NCSC.

07:51:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008690

And if DSWD had its way in doing this, there's a more organized, systematic way of doing it.

07:51:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008691

It may not be perfect.

07:51:56Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008692

Wala namang ahensyang perfect.

07:51:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008693

But it gives you a higher confidence level than by application.

07:52:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008694

Parang kung sino ang may access sa computer, sila mag-a-apply.

07:52:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008695

Tapos yun lang ang susuriin natin.

07:52:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008696

That's what we're trying to do.

07:52:08Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008697

Thank you, Secrex.

07:52:10Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008698

I think we really need to develop that system that you already have a form.

07:52:15Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008699

I think this is a similar issue to the free higher education.

07:52:19Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008700

It's a bit of a far analogy, but it's really an issue in terms of yung forecasting.

07:52:26Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008701

They're unable to get it right in terms of the system.

07:52:30Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008702

Hindi po makapag-align at the moment yung CHED, yung PASUC at saka yung DBM

07:52:37Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008703

With regard to the estimated number of enrollees for the following year.

07:52:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008704

So every year, nagbaliktad naman yung problema nila, Secrex.

07:52:45Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008705

Sa distribution po doon sa octogenarian award, ang nangyayari po delay.

07:52:52Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008706

Doon naman po sa FHE, free higher education, ang nangyayari nag-a-accrue lang, nag-a-accumulate lang yung deficiency between the gap nung estimated number of enrollees

07:53:07Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008707

versus the actual number of enrollees.

07:53:09Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008708

Umabot pa nga po sa point na across five years, Php12 billion yung na-accrue na deficit.

07:53:18Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008709

So it's really, I think there has to be a system po. I agree with Sec Rex.

07:53:24Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008710

And I think before the next budget season, sana maayos na.

07:53:28Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008711

Kasi yung sa FHE po naayos nila between last year and this year's budget season.

07:53:34Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008712

Pero yun po kasi nangyayari.

07:53:35Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008713

I recognize the problem.

07:53:37Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008714

Na ang nangyayari, nade-delay yung distribution po.

07:53:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008715

So, as Secrex was saying, kaya naman because the PSA has a database.

07:53:48Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008716

In fact, we gave them this system of forecasting in advance with a higher confidence level.

07:53:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008717

Syempre give or take. Meron hong kasamang palad, papanaw.

07:53:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008718

Pero wala naman ho madadagdag na doon, more or less,

07:54:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008719

kasi alam mo na naman sino mag-80, 85, 90, 95, 100.

07:54:05Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008720

Madam Chair, Mr. Chairman.

07:54:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008721

I have to keep on repeating this.

07:54:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008722

Mag-a-accrue ito nang mag-a-accrue.

07:54:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008723

As mentioned by the executive director kanina, may backlog na.

07:54:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008724

Tapos magba-backlog ulit.

07:54:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008725

Tapos magba-backlog ulit.

07:54:17Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008726

Baka ho mag-accrue nang mag-accrue yung mga IOUs till pumanaw na yung iba at hindi matanggap.

07:54:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008727

I may sound like we're pointing fingers, but ang point ko ho is help.

07:54:25Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008728

We already gave them the system, the process.

07:54:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008729

And I think DBM will agree with that.

07:54:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008730

Sana lang ho tingnan nila kasi the answers of the executive director kanina

07:54:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008731

was really way off.

07:54:36Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008732

kaya yung PSA sumagot na sa amin at pinapasagutin daw namin nang maayos.

07:54:44Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008733

May I then call the ED of NCSC?

07:54:50Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008734

Na-release na po ni Sec Rex.

07:54:53Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008735

And I think that's a very valid point.

07:54:55Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008736

There's a way for us to be able to forecast it.

07:54:57Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008737

There's the PSA who seems to be willing to help to develop the system.

07:55:03Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008738

Have you engaged with the PSA?

07:55:06Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008739

And have you looked at the forecasting model as suggested by Secrex?

07:55:10Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008740

Yes, we have met with PSA and that's what they said.

07:55:16Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008741

And that's what I said a few minutes ago.

07:55:19Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008742

So we can talk and discuss about this, what they're saying about the forecasting.

07:55:25Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008743

Because I think if we are able to get the data from the PhilSys PSA,

07:55:30Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008744

we can also do the forecasting.

07:55:32Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008745

So ngayon po, can we assume that in the future,

07:55:36Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008746

in the 2027 budget, hindi pa accurate yung number na nabudgetan ninyo?

07:55:42Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008747

Given that you still haven't done the study on this forecasting model?

07:55:47Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008748

The numbers that we have given for the 2027 NEP came from the numbers of PSA.

07:55:59Source

NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit

asr-008749

PSA?

07:56:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008750

PSA na census po yon.

07:56:02Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008751

So should be, Sec Rex?

07:56:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008751-split-2

Ayoko na ho.

07:56:04Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008752

Ayoko na ho makipag-back and forth kasi mahaba na ho.

07:56:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008753

A couple of things.

07:56:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008754

The PhilSys is coded.

07:56:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008755

So hindi mo talaga makukuha yung PhilSys ng lahat ng mamamayan.

07:56:14Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008756

Hindi talaga ibibigay sa iyo yun.

07:56:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008757

Pero yung CBMS, that law has a very clear escape mechanism.

07:56:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008758

Pag social protection, lahat kami dapat doon humahango.

07:56:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008759

Puwedeng ibigay yun with a simple data sharing agreement.

07:56:30Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008760

Iniwan na ho namin yan bago namin tinurnover.

07:56:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008761

Nakiusap kami na yun ang gamitin.

07:56:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008762

Pero parang hihingin mo yung buong PhilSys database.

07:56:40Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008763

Hindi ho talaga ibibigay yun because nandoon yung mga codes natin lahat as individual citizens.

07:56:46Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008764

Again, we can have a discussion separately, pagpatawag ho kami ng Kongreso,

07:56:51Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008765

but the budgeting kasi is getting affected by this.

07:56:54Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008766

Parang it's turning into a habol nang habol every year

07:56:58Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008767

kasi post eh.

07:57:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008768

Mag-a-apply sila online,

07:57:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008769

katulad doon ng kaso natin sa Pampanga na kami ho ang hinabol ng mga tao.

07:57:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008770

Nasa bundok sila, mga Aeta ho sila,

07:57:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008771

natural hindi sila makakapag-apply.

07:57:11Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008772

At walang technical know-how yung mga yun.

07:57:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008773

Pero if we just project na nandun sila,

07:57:16Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008774

because sa CBMS, again, it's not perfect, but it gives you a stronger confidence level.

07:57:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008775

Then we can just go to them, validate it physically.

07:57:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008776

Para ho meron tayong some type of a closer estimate kung ilan ho sila.

07:57:30Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008777

Thank you, Secrex.

07:57:32Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008778

Kong Mila, being the chairperson of the Committee on Senior Citizens,

07:57:38Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008779

maybe this is something that you can also facilitate.

07:57:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008780

A discussion with all the agencies involved to fine-tune this forecasting system.

07:57:49Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008781

Just so in the next budget cycle, or even baka po makahabol pa before the end of this budget cycle, maayos na natin

07:57:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008782

para po hindi, as Secrex was saying and as I was saying,

07:58:00Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008783

mag-accrue lahat po ng

07:58:02Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008784

hindi pa nire-release,

07:58:04Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008785

lahat po ng delay sa releases.

07:58:06Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008786

So, thank you, Secrex.

07:58:08Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008787

I'll move to the next.

07:58:10Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008788

If I may ask a few questions on some of the items that have been raised

07:58:15Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008789

for consideration of the BARC for additional funding for DSWD.

07:58:22Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008790

The others po, we've done it last year naman yung mga change in PAP names and the like.

07:58:30Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008791

So, Secrex, the first one that I wanted to highlight,

07:58:34Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008792

the reversion ng QRF to its fiscal year 2026 level of Php3 billion.

07:58:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008793

I support you completely on that.

07:58:43Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008794

So, it's really just very practical to do that.

07:58:47Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008795

Just so you don't have to liquidate every single time.

07:58:50Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008796

So, we support you on that.

07:58:52Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008797

I will advocate for that during the BARC kasi

07:58:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008798

naramdaman ninyo po ba, Secrex,

07:58:57Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008799

malaki talaga yung diperensya nung tinaas na natin sa 3 billion?

07:59:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008800

Yes, Madam Chair.

07:59:01Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008801

In fact, we're very grateful, as mentioned a while ago.

07:59:03Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008802

Kasi ngayon yung kalamidad ranges from the north all the way to the south.

07:59:06Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008803

So sabay-sabay, multi-region, 1.2 billion may sound big,

07:59:10Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008804

pero pagka ipaghahati-hati mo yun between procuring food, getting logistics and emergency cash transfer,

07:59:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008805

kulang na kulang yun.

07:59:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008806

Pero mabilis ho ang DBM.

07:59:21Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008807

Undersecretary Kim and former Secretary Mina, 5 days.

07:59:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008808

Pero five days, three to five days pa rin yun

07:59:27Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008809

while itong 3 billion nase-stretch

07:59:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008810

namin yun bago kami mag-reimburse.

07:59:31Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008811

So, much appreciated that you see it from our point of view.

07:59:34Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008812

Thank you, Secrex.

07:59:35Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008813

Again, our full support with regard to that.

07:59:38Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008814

We and Kong Raman will advocate for it in the BARC.

07:59:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008815

The next would be social pension for indigent senior citizens.

07:59:47Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008816

So, this 6.8 billion is on top of what's already there in the NEP.

07:59:52Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008817

How is it in comparison to the 2026 GAA?

07:59:55Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008818

The 2026 GAA is very close, slightly above

08:00:00Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008819

lang from the NEP right now by five hundred maliit lang yung discrepancy nila kasi ang

08:00:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008820

binagdag lang around three hundred thousand beneficiaries but alam natin mas malaki yung

08:00:13Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008821

catchment dapat so this is really on top of what we're of where we're getting to cover more senior

08:00:20Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008822

citizen for the social pension thank you thank you Secrex well we'll take note of this as well

08:00:26Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008823

um next would be the sigurpo um in the interest of time but this is something that also Secrex

08:00:34Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008824

raised earlier today the one billion for SLP so um I believe you you laid it out very well as to

08:00:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008825

how many beneficiaries would stand to um lose their benefits or not not not avail of it rather

08:00:48Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008826

if hindi po natin mapondohan to so we'll take this into consideration as well Secrex and

08:00:53Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008827

finally po I think the biggest hinuliko

08:00:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008828

because it's the biggest um request um here is an additional 43.1 billion pesos for the assistance

08:01:04Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008829

to individuals in crisis situations um AICs um because as we know ang laki po talaga nung binaba

08:01:11Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008830

noong um level ng AICs mula po sa 2026 ga ah um as compared to the NEP level currently at 33

08:01:18Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008831

billion um Secrex you really laid it out very well um in in in the slide you presented earlier

08:01:26Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008832

as to how critical a role um AICs played um this past year especially um in terms of responding

08:01:34Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008833

to the crisis um that we did not anticipate of course um the middle east crisis all of the

08:01:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008834

um disasters all of the climate um related um challenges that have have um that has happened

08:01:50Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008835

in the last year so Sigur Secrex if I may po may I request you to just highlight the

08:01:56Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008836

that Sigur as as a way to just um uh end the discussion today um may I request you to again

08:02:03Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008837

uh present that slide um showing the Sigur essentially um explaining to us the need for

08:02:10Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008838

the 43.1 billion additional and I'm sure full disclosure uh the uh NEP value versus the 2026

08:02:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008839

GAA is short by 30 billion, not 48. We just put 48 kasi we saw the unexpected utilization this year

08:02:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008840

ng energy emergency. So if you can look at 2025, ang amount natin na allotment was 44 billion,

08:02:33Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008841

and we still got another 14 billion from the UA. And you can imagine that we served around 9.4

08:02:41Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008842

million thereabouts. And then noong 2025,

08:02:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008843

noong itinaas po ninyo ang value to 63 billion, we were able to serve again a target of 8.715 million.

08:02:57Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008844

At this point in time, 70 percent is already fully utilized, faster than what we thought, because 10 billion,

08:03:02Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008845

close to 10 billion, 9 billion went to the energy emergency this summer.

08:03:09Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008846

At patuloy ho tayong kumukuha diyan ngayon because of the various state of calamities across the country.

08:03:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008847

Now, just to do the simplistic math, if you look at 2027

08:03:19Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008848

at manatili tayo sa 33 billion, at hindi ninyo kami ibabalik sa NEP level man lang,

08:03:26Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008849

we stand to lose around, we stand to turn away around 4,085,631 real people with real

08:03:35Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008850

crisis na sasabihin namin, pagpasensyahan niyo na po, pero hindi na available ang social welfare. I think

08:03:42Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008851

we'll be doing everybody a disservice by not advocating for this as an institutional amendment

08:03:47Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008852

or request that we are pushing for.

08:03:50Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008852-split-2

Thank you, Secrex. Just wanted to ask a little bit more on

08:03:53Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008853

the 2026 figures the 63.4 billion as you said has been 70 percent utilized as of now but that

08:04:01Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008854

does that already include the additional funding that would emanate from uplift or

08:04:07Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008855

iba pa po yan?

08:04:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008855-split-2

Wala pa ho, wala pa ho. Yun straight out lang and to include the first round of transport assistance, the 10 billion. But even

08:04:15Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008856

that was projected initially to cover our regular AICS requirements. So kaya nga kami nagpapa-augment

08:04:22Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008857

kasi kailan ibabalik

08:04:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008858

sa

08:04:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008859

amin yun. Dahil kung hindi, kakapusin naman ho yung departamento. Doon lang nga kung titingnan n'yo lang yung 63, short na nga ho tayo kaya kami nagpapa-augment kasi we took around 9 billion to 10 billion to supply the transport workers last summer. So very understanding naman ho ang DBM and they are already finding mechanisms to augment us for September, October, November, December.

08:04:47Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008859-split-2

So, Secrex, looking at the 2026 expenditure and the needs for

08:04:53Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008860

AICS by the end of this year po, what would be the full year need for AICS? Kasi you have the 63 billion that's there in the GAA plus yung 10 billion na expend for the transport allowance subsidy. So is it safe to assume, just from looking at that, roughly 70 billion po yung utilization na AICS for this year?

08:05:20Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008860-split-2

Yes, 75 thereabouts. 70 to 75. But

08:05:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008861

wag naman ho sana pero hindi pa tapos yung taon and these next months will be the challenging months because of the impending El Nino the recovery ng earthquake the recovery ng bagyo ng habagat pati na rin ho yung RSSI sa Negros Island regions so talagang we're stretching it thin to be honest

08:05:42Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008862

thank you secrex so the 75 billion kaya po siya yung 33 billion plus the 43 billion requested lands you somewhere in the into the 75 billion

08:05:52Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008863

as uh

08:05:53Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008864

based on the historical need for for 2000 utilization utilization rather thank you thank you secrex um yun po kasi yung biggest line item in the request so I wanted to to um ask a little bit more on that so um secrex as you mentioned there are three to four uh major items still that you haven't uh captured in this request um may we know po by when you would be able to give it would it be possible to have it by tomorrow

08:06:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008865

They're typing it up

08:06:23Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008866

right now

08:06:24Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008867

and I will be furnishing the committee as early as tonight.

08:06:28Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008867-split-2

Okay, so I was going to say 12 noon tomorrow but if you could give it to us by...

08:06:32Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008867-split-3

Maagap po ng ano? Panalo ang maagap kesa yung masipag eh. Daig ng maagap yung masipag. So maagap po kami.

08:06:39Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008868

Thank you, Secrex,

08:06:41Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008869

because we're hoping to convene the Bar C soon at the soonest possible time.

08:06:45Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008870

So for us to be able to take all of these into consideration for the deliberation of the Bar C,

08:06:50Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008871

we'll request

08:06:51Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008872

po.

08:06:52Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008875

But if we have it by tonight, perfect po, Secrex, kasi the deadline actually for even the other departments

08:06:58Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008876

that were deliberated on this week is tomorrow lunchtime. But we'll wait for that po, Secrex.

08:07:05Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008877

I think that's it. Um, Madam Chair, how about an additional funding for Home for the Aged?

08:07:12Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008878

Kasi apat po yung Home for the Aged nila eh. Ang dami-dami na pong abandoned and homeless senior citizens ngayon because maybe due to hardship of life, pina-abandona na yung mga senior citizen ng mga anak. So kailangan po yung mapuntahan nila. So maybe we can have additional funding for Home for the Aged

08:07:36Source

Rep. Milagros "Mila" Aquino-Magsaysay

asr-008879

para makapagpatayo pa ho tayo, o kaya yung arrangement po sa mga private home cares, puwede rin po yun. So baka po puwedeng magka-additional funding tayo for that.

08:07:53Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008880

Madam Chair, we thought of a creative way last year with your help, a PPP style wherein huwag na tayong magtayo, mag-refer na lang tayo sa mga accredited. Nandiyan na rin ho sa listahan yung cost of care provision.

08:08:07Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008881

It's here po, Kong Mila. I'll show it to you.

08:08:12Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008882

But essentially what we're doing is within the current funding that's available to DSWD,

08:08:18Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008883

mayroon na pong ganong modality wherein there's an arrangement with private providers. And then yun na lang po, gamit na yung existing resources ng DSWD.

08:08:29Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008884

So we've already, we started that last year and we'll make sure we still

08:08:34Source

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian

asr-008885

have that modality for 2027.

08:08:36Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008885-split-2

Thank you po. I think that's it. It's been, how many hours has it been? It's been

08:08:42Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008886

close to nine hours since the start of the deliberations of DSWD. I think po, given

08:08:48Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008887

all of the interpellations raised by our colleagues today, I think more of

08:08:57Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008888

commendation po eh. I was gonna, Cong. Rahman actually put the words perfectly. It's really

08:09:04Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-008889

a commendation from our colleagues from all over the country. We wanted to thank the DSWD family

08:09:12Source

asr-008898

been a long deliberation but it's

08:09:34Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing
