Ako po ay nagagalak at natutuwa. I will shy away from the long opening speeches, pero ang ating mensahe lang po is for today's budget hearing that we will examine bawat piso sa budget ng ating Department of Labor and Employment, na kung saan ay may kaunting angat doon sa NEP level, but sa general appropriation, sa GAA, ay may kaunting binaba ito.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-000041

So, hiniling natin ang suporta muli ng ating mga kasamahan dito sa Kongreso na kung maaari ay mataasan ulit ang ating budget ng DOLE, specifically also ang ating TESDA, na kung saan ay napakaganda ng performance ng ating Secretary at ng kanyang mga kawani.

labor justice, our focus is to ensure that labor disputes are resolved quickly, fairly, and at the

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000158

earliest possible stage, while minimizing the need for prolonged and costly litigation. Under the

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000159

Single Entry Approach, or SENA, we have maintained strong performance. As of July 2026, the settlement

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000160

Source

DOLE Presenter

418.9 million in settlements, benefiting more than 5,600 workers. For 2027, we propose to sustain all

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000167

targets on labor dispute mechanism. Continuing with delivering labor justice, the slide highlights

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000168

our performance in case disposition, actual strikes and lockouts, and voluntary arbitration.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000169

For case management, we continue to register

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000170

a strong performance. As of July 2026, we have maintained a 99% disposition rate, resulting in approximately 6.76 billion in monetary awards benefiting more than 99,000 workers. For actual strikes and lockouts, we have

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000171

disposed 80% as of August, involving approximately

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000172

35.19 million in settlements, benefiting 284 workers.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000173

For 2027,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000176

we will continue to pursue a 100% disposition target.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000177

For voluntary arbitration, we have settled 60%,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000178

which generated around 2.96 billion in settlements,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000179

benefiting 1,458 workers.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000180

For 2027, we propose to sustain all of our targets under case management.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000181

For fiscal year 2027, under the National Expenditure Program,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000182

the Department of Labor and Employment has been allocated

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000183

a total budget of 47.057 billion pesos.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000184

This will support the operations of the department,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000185

its six attached agencies, and 17 regional offices nationwide.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000186

This figure excludes automatic appropriations,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000187

totaling 668 million broken down as follows.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000188

668.058 million for retirement and life insurance premiums

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000189

and 375,000 for special voluntary arbitration fund

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000190

under the National Conciliation and Mediation Board.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000191

Looking at the budget distribution,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000192

Dole Proper and TESDA account for nearly 90% of the department's total budget.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000193

Dole Proper receives the largest share at 20.955 billion,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000194

supporting core programs, field operations, and frontline services.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000195

TESDA follows with 20.895 billion,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000196

reflecting our strong investment in technical vocational training

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000197

and workforce upskilling.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000198

The remaining is shared among the attached agencies,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000199

PRC at 2.694 billion,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000200

NLRC at 1.733 billion,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000201

NWPC at 369 million,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000202

NCMB at 332 million,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000203

and ILS at 79 million.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000204

Fiscal year 2027 NEP of 47.057 billion

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000205

is 14.116 billion lower than the 2026 GAA of 61.173 billion.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000206

However, it is 2.675 billion higher

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000207

than the fiscal year 2026 NEP of 44.382 billion.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000208

Overall, the fiscal year 2027 proposal shows an increase from the previous NEP,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000209

but a significant reduction from the current GAA.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000210

The department originally proposed 70.426 billion for fiscal year 2027

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000211

to address key labour sector priorities.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000212

However, the 2027 NEP provides only 47.57 billion,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000213

a 23.368 billion,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000214

or a 33.18% reduction from the original proposal.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000215

Overall, the recommended budget for DoLE decreased by 14.116 billion,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000216

or 23.08%,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000217

compared with the 2026 GAA.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000218

This reduction is primarily due to lower budget allocations for DoLE, NCMB, NLRC, and TESDA.

Source

the 2027 NEP

asr-000223

the 2027 NEP reflects a net decrease of 23.368 billion,

asr-000224

or 33.18% in total funding.

DOLE Presenter

asr-000225

The 2027 NEP of 47.57 billion,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000226

is distributed across three main allotment classes,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000227

38.89 billion is allotted for maintenance and other operating expenses,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000228

8.443 billion is

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000229

allocated

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000230

to personnel services, and 525 million is allocated to capital outlay.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000231

While the overall budget reflects significant reductions, personnel services increased by

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000232

0.021 billion from last year. The increase also covers the salaries and benefits of newly hired

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000233

and promoted employees, field non-permanent positions, and terminal leave benefits of

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000234

mandatory retirees. For maintenance and other operating expenses, the 2026 NEP amounted to

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000235

35.05 billion, which increased significantly to 51.91 billion under the 2026 GAA. For 2027,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000236

the proposed NEP stands at 38.10 billion. Compared with the 2026 GAA, the 2027 NEP is lower by 13.82

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000237

billion. However, compared with the 2026 NEP, it reflects an increase of 3.44 billion.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000238

The reduction from the 2026 GAA is

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000239

mainly due to lower funding requirements for key programs, including TUPAD, DILP, STEP,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000240

TWSP, and LEAP, and the completion of projects and implementation of the final major projects

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000241

under the ISSP. For capital outlays, the 2027 NEP reflects a significant decrease of 0.39 billion

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000242

compared with the 2026 NEP, and a reduction of 0.321 billion compared to the 2026 GAA.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000243

The substantial decline is primarily attributed

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000244

to the scaled-down implementation of the computerization program and the completion of major

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000245

projects under the ISSP. This section compares the proposed 2027 NEP with the 2026 GAA for key

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000246

DOLE programs. Major program changes, there are increases in the budget allocations for the alien

are noted for the promotion of local employment, implementation of the Trabajo Para sa Bayan,

Honourable Chair, we would like to manifest our concern regarding the proposed allocation,

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000260

specifically the decrease in the budget for the TUPAD Program under the National Expenditure

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000261

Program.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000262

TUPAD is a vital lifeline for our vulnerable communities.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000263

With the unpredictable nature of calamities, frequent emergency situations, and challenge

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000264

of unemployment, we cannot afford to scale back on this critical assistance.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000265

We strongly reiterate our request to restore the TUPAD budget to its 2026 level.

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000266

This restoration is essential to ensure that a sufficient number of disadvantaged workers

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000267

remain covered and supported when they need it the most.

Source

DOLE Presenter

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000287

recorded a 41.409 million budget decrease mainly due to a reduction in the labor arbitration program

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000288

while the execution program increased by 1.875 million. The National Wages and Productivity

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000289

Commission received an additional of 21.66 million. Meanwhile, the Professional Regulation

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000290

Commission recorded an overall increase of 45.882 million. Lastly, for the Technical Education

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000291

and Skills Development Authority, all major programs reflect reductions under the proposed

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000292

2027 NEP. The Technical Education and Skills Development Policy Program decreased by 7.246

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000293

million while the Technical Education and Skills Development Regulatory Program is reduced by 90.213

million. The largest reduction is in the Technical Education

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000295

and Skills Development Program, which declined by

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000296

4.656 billion. Overall, TESDA's proposed budget is reduced by 4.754 billion compared

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000297

to its 2026 GAA allocation. In total, the agencies under the department showed a net

Source

DOLE Presenter

asr-000298

decrease of 13.305 billion pesos. The next slide presents the DOLES comparative

Thank you, Secretary Francis Tolentino, for the presentation. And now, I'd like to ask Secretary Kiko if you would like to present a very short presentation of TESDA's budget.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000306-split-3

We will try and attempt, Mr. Chair, to do a short presentation. I'll speed through the slides if I can,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000307

With your permission.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000308

Next slide, please.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000309

I guess I would just like to highlight

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000310

and frame the TESDA budget

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000311

along three major points.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000312

The first is that

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000313

2026 is of course the highest

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000314

budget that TESDA has ever

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000315

received at 26

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000316

billion pesos

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000317

and that the NEP this year

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000318

is at a decline

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000319

as already mentioned by the

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000320

Department of Labor and Employment.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000321

The second is in fact

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000322

to say that

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000323

TVET

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000324

is an effective tool for

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000325

success as was said by the

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000326

President in the SONA 2026

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000327

and in fact is crucial

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000328

as part of our response

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000329

to AI potential disruption

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000330

to our workforce

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000331

since we also do upskilling

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000332

in general for employed Filipinos.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000333

The third maybe is to

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000334

point out that

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000335

in the next 10 to 15 years

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000336

the Philippine

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000337

population growth will plateau and begin to decline, which means our demographic dividend

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000338

will also begin to decline. All three things is to point out that there is an urgency for

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000339

TESDA, in fact, to ramp up its services to ensure that our workforce is ready for any

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000340

potential disruptions, as well as maximize our demographic dividend.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000341

Next slide, please. This is basically to point out and to the committee that TESDA functions

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000342

under three different delivery modes. We have the enterprise-based training, education,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000343

institution-based training, and community-based training. There are over 4,715 private TVIs,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000344

271 public LUCs, SUCs.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000345

There are 178 technical vocational institutions, and 178 TESDA training institutions.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000346

Next slide, please. The main question that most committee members asked at the consultation

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000347

meeting last week was really how we direct our scholarship funds. And the scholarship funds of

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000348

TESDA, Mr. Chair, is actually directed through certain priorities that are given by

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000359

the national government, and this is of course at the moment being directed by the NAT plan of EDCOM.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000360

Next slide, please. Just to go very quickly, Mr. Chair.

Source

Committee member

asr-000360-split-2

May we be furnished with copies

Source

Committee member

asr-000361

of the deck of TESDA? This is very important. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000361-split-2

Yes, sir. I believe

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000362

sir, that the committee has already been given copies of our deck.

asr-000363-split-2

The next is a heat map that shows the focus

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000364

and concentration of our fund distribution it is true that for 2026 scholarship funds can support

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000365

between 630 to around 650 000 filipinos i would like to point out the tvet ecosystem nationwide

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000367

slots

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000368

the heat map will show you that because we are directed to be industry responsive they it is in

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000369

places with the highest focus on industry that will have the greatest infrastructure for tvet

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000370

training no but we also of course need to have poverty reduction

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000371

initiatives as well and this will be relevant mr chair to the

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000372

Next slide, please. TESDA, of course, has been trying to do a better job

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000373

at many things in terms of our digital transition,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000374

and 2026 was when we launched the TESDA Skills Passport

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000379

into law and the IRR signed last May is going to fall almost squarely upon TESDA's shoulders

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000380

to implement as well.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000381

The Skills Passport has a career compass that is an advisory, career advisory along six

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000382

domains that can show aptitude for TVET learning.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000383

It also is designed for e-vouchers to enroll in our full qualifications of around 150,000

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000386

We also, of course, developed micro-credentials as well as remedial modules on literacy and

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000387

literacy, available soon through our partnership with Khan Academy and in response, in fact,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000388

to EDCOM findings.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000389

Next slide.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000390

Sorry, Mr. Chair, I'm going through it very quickly.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000391

We have been tasked, again, by EDCOM to ensure we increase our higher-level NC's because

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000392

it is in the higher-level NC's that the incremental increase in wages and better jobs can be found.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000393

We are pleased to announce that there are 120% increase from 2022 in terms of higher-level

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000394

certifications and we can get into greater detail, but there are 1,412 diploma programs.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000395

648 diploma programs have been reviewed for alignment with the new PQF Level 5 descriptors

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000396

under the revised Philippine Qualifications Framework.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000408

That was also recently revised

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000409

by the National

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000410

Coordinating Council.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000411

Next is to point out that as part of the A.I.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000412

up-skilling for BPO, TESDA was tasked to craft the A.I.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000413

Upskilling Roadmap which aims to achieve wider A.I.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000414

literacy and build talent for the country to shift from being an AI consumer to becoming an AI builder.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000415

For 2026, 10,000 BPO workers will be upskilled in AI through enterprise-based training in order to protect the BPO jobs currently,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000416

as well as to help galvanize the expansion of the sector next year.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000418

TESDA is also in charge of the Workforce Development Technical Working Group for semiconductors and the electronics industry.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000419

The Philippine Semiconductor and Electronics Industry Roadmap was launched recently.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000420

The roadmap targets $70 billion in semiconductor revenues and $40 billion in electronics revenues by 2030.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000421

And this growth is dependent on having a workforce capable of carrying it out.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000422

140,000 have been assessed on electronics assembly skills since January 2025.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000423

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000426

9,989 communities.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000427

Daycare workers served under the ECCD training program, and the course is now available online for greater access.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000428

TESDA is also piloting a variety of trainings with LGU.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000429

Here, what we're highlighting is the one we piloted with Waste Management in Naga.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000430

Next, please.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000431

Perhaps the most important piece is to point out that the employment rate of TVET graduates,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000432

in 2025, is at 81.64%.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000433

And TESDA, in fact, is sharpening our survey method to make sure that we don't only know

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000434

what our employment rates are, but the quality of the jobs of the employees that our trainees

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000435

may receive after our training, as well as to track them individually, perhaps through

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000436

our skills passport.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000437

1,299 EBET programs have been registered.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000442

as part of the implementation of the new EBET law

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000445

enrolled in 225 courses on the TESDA online learning platform.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000446

Now, this is one of our more accessible, because the training is free.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000447

We have MOOCs online with various partners, as some of which are also TESDA.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000487

and we as usual catch up some of the reasons, Mr. Chair.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000488

So for the final, perhaps most important slide, Mr. Chair,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000489

our request is to, at the very least, if we cannot get our tier two requests,

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000490

at least capacitate TESDA with an equal budget as was given in the GAA of 2026.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000491

The request then is broken down for an additional $5.3 billion for scholarship programs

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-000492

to serve an additional 162,000 learners.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000548

Isa po sa mga well-performing po na mga ahensya ng gobyerno.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

For TESDA.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000550

That's another.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000551

That's another topic.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000552

Mr. Chair, noong August 13, naglabas ng order ang Pasig RTC Branch 152, stating,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000553

let a writ of preliminary injunction be issued upon posting a bond of 10 billion pesos.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000554

As party to the case, nakapaglagak na po ba ang mga petitioner ng bond?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000555

This is answerable by yes or no, Mr. Chair.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000556

I'm not aware. Therefore, it's no.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000557

So, hindi po nakapaglagak.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000558

I'm not aware of this.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000559

You're not aware po, Mr. Secretary, but DOLE is party to the case.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000560

That's why we filed a motion for immediate resolution last September 3, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000561

Mr. Secretary, tama po yan.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000562

In fact, the petitioners themselves admitted na hindi nila kayang makapaglagak ng 10 billion pesos bond.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000563

Sabi ng OSG, in the absence of a writ, walang pumipigil sa DOLE na ipatupad ang dagdag sahod.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000564

Kahapon, sabi po ng Judiciary sa budget hearing, kapag walang bond, walang injunction.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000565

Therefore, in effect, ang Wage Order No. 27.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000566

The question is, what is the position of DOLE sa usapin ng pagpapatupad ng Wage Order?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000567

Your Honor, members of this committee, the Office of the Solicitor General stands as the legal counsel of the Department of Labor and Employment.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000568

Therefore, we are in unison.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000569

With the legal position of the Office of the Solicitor General.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000570

The Supreme Court announcement yesterday, perhaps I saw a clip in the reels, was reflective of Rule 59 of the Rules of Court,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000571

which I totally agree, sans a posting of a bond.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000572

The writ is not in order, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000573

If that is the case, Secretary, bakit hindi po ipatupad?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000574

ng Department of Labor and Employment yung Wage Order No. 27.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000575

Ikaw po mismo ang nagsasabi.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000576

Na kinikilala nyo ang posisyon ng gobyerno, no bond, no injunction.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000577

Therefore, yung dagdag sahod ng mga minimum wage earner ay dapat ipatupad at ibigay na since July 25.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000578

Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000579

Mr. Chairman, Your Honor, members of this committee,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000580

Department of Labor,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000581

ang kagawaran po ng empleyo ay naniniwala na ang paglilift ng injunction is not a matter of self-help.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000582

Naniniwala po tayo sa mga inilabas na desisyon ng Korte Suprema.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000583

Kabilang na po ang LCK versus Pagbilao Development Corporation,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000584

G.R. 195374, 19 March 2014, which I quote:

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000585

The Supreme Court questioned us,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000586

I mean us, not just the executive branch,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000587

against treating a bond defect, including the non-filing thereof,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000588

not as an automatic license to disregard injunctive relief.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000591

Failure to fix a bond or post a bond did not itself justify quashing the injunction.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000592

And, Your Honor, there is another case, Development Bank of the Philippines versus Carpio, GR 147-191,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000593

where the Supreme Court mentioned that there is no such thing as a doctrine of unilateral disregard.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000594

Ang ibig pong sabihin, Your Honor,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000595

If there is a facial court restraint which is outstanding,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000596

the affected party should obtain a judicial declaration of that consequence

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000597

rather than conclusively deciding the matter for itself.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000598

Ang ibig pong sabihin, Mr. Chairman, Your Honors, with all due respect,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000599

Hindi po ang dole, hindi po ang litigants.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000600

Ang magdi-desisyon kung mali ang proseso.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000601

Ang magdi-desisyon po nito ay ang husgado.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000602

Sila po lang ang may puder, courts, have the discretion over the bond and the integrity of a bond,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000603

and that does not automatically void any previous injunction,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000604

and the objecting party must challenge it, and the court must correct it.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000605

That's why, Your Honor, we filed this, September 3,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000606

ang abugado po namin ay Office of the Solicitor General, motion to resolve.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000607

Yes, Mr. Secretary.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000608

I-resolve na nila.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000609

Sa ngayon, kung ano po yung inyong nararamdaman, yun din po yung aming nararamdaman.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000610

But, again, I raise this principle, and members of the bar here present would agree with me,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000611

that the doctrine of self-help is applicable in a very narrow or limited situations.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000612

For instance,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000613

nung katadaan lang pong habagat, Your Honor, marami nakikinig ngayon,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000614

applicable po yung doktrina sa Civil Code of the Philippines, Article 429,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000615

na kung mababa yung lugar mo, yung kapitbahay mo yung mas mataas,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000616

pwede mong ilipat yung gamit doon sa mataas ng lugar na kahit walang court order, yung po yung self-help.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000617

Sa criminal case, meron po tayo sa rules of court.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000618

If a crime is being committed,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000619

one's presence, you can arrest.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000620

That's a citizen's arrest.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000621

That's a doctrine of self-help.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000622

Konti-konti lang po yan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000623

Subalit, Your Honor, there is no comparable doctrine, general doctrine,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000624

authorizing a litigant or a government agency, including the DOLE,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000625

to substitute its own judgment for that of a court,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000626

and unilaterally treat a judicial injunction as nonexistent,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000627

merely because it believes, as I believe,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000628

that the bond requirement has not been satisfied.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000629

Mr. Chair,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000630

yung po yung...

Mr. Chair,

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000632

Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000633

pasimplihan lang po natin, Sekretary.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000634

Walang bond, walang injunction.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000635

Therefore, the wage order is in effect.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000636

Tama ba, Mr. Sekretary?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000637

Ganito po yun.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000638

Yes or no po.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000639

There is no bond.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000640

Therefore,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000641

therefore, there is no injunction.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000642

There is no bond.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000643

There is no writ.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000644

Ibig sabihin, the wage order is in effect.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000645

There is an injunction insofar as the writ is concerned.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000646

There is no writ.

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000647

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000656

Pwede po akong magsalita?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000657

Yes po.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000658

Ganito po yun.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000659

Kung atin pong bubusisiin yung kasaysayan nito,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000660

nagsimula po ito sa status ko ante order.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000661

That was issued by the executive branch judge of Pasig RTC.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000662

That was July 24, a day before the implementation.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000663

Pakatapos po nun,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000664

sumunod yung Temporary Restraining Order.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000665

Ang kasunod po nun, kasi maglalapse yung Temporary Restraining Order,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000666

ito na nga pong writ of preliminary injunction.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000667

So there would be two documents visually in front of me right now.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000668

The order of injunction as well as the writ which requires, as a condition precedent,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000669

the payment of the 10 billion bond.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000670

Without the bond,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000671

without the bond,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000672

the writ falls.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000673

But facially,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000674

starting from the status quo order,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000675

Temporary Restraining Order,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000676

the injunction order,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000677

you have a facially substantial order coming from the court,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000678

which the court has the sole right to lift, correct, or dissolve.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000679

That's why we filed a motion to resolve.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000680

Hindi po,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000681

mawalanggalang na po,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000682

kung napataas yung buwasis ko,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000683

Hindi po,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000684

hindi po ang DOLE ang magde-decide kung na-dissolve na yung bond.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000685

Under the threat of contempt pursuant to Rule 71,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000686

eh hindi po karapatan namin na mag-decide.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000687

Isimplihan ko na lang po siguro po ito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000688

Meron po akong halimbawa na tickets sa dalawang airline companies,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000689

na inamin naman nila na hindi na-issued.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000691

Hindi naman po ako pwedeng pumunta na lang doon sa airport at dumiretso sa aeroplano.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000692

There is a process for this.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000693

I should be given, recognized by the airline manager,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000694

I should be given a boarding pass.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000695

In a similar manner, kung yung ating mga senior citizen ay nagkamali yung binigay na gamot ng mercury drug,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000696

eh hindi naman basta pwedeng pumasok si lola o yung nanay ko sa bodega ng mercury drug para kunin yung tamang gamot.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000697

Mr. Chair,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000698

Ganon din po dito. Lalong-lalong na po ito.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000699

Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000700

Ay hukuman. Pero lahat po ng sinasabi niyo ay nararamdaman ko po iyon.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000701

Mr. Secretary, so in simple words, hindi ipapatupad ng Department of Labor and Employment yung dagdag ng sahot?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000702

Ipapatupad po namin. Ganito po yun. Ayun, napataas na naman yung boses ko.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000703

Kayo po yun nag-file, at sinusuportahan ko kayo, kayo po yun nag-file ng certiorary sa Supreme Court.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000704

Para ang Regional Trial Court ay kumilos.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000705

I disregard yung injunction.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000706

Nagpa sa ilalim po ang mga grupo ninyo at lahat ng manggagawa.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000707

At tayo po ay sumusuporta dyan, including current petitions for intervention na makasali kayo sa usgado.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000708

Nung nag-file po kayo ng petisyon sa Supreme Court, ang ibig sabihin po, kinikilala rin nyo rin po yung hurisdiksyon, mawalanggalang na, with all due respect,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000709

ng hindi lang ng kataas-taas ang hukuman.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000710

Kung hindi ng Regional Trial Court tumpasig. Dahil sinasabing nyo sa Supreme Court, orderan nyo ang RTC.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000711

Mr. Chair, ang argument nga po namin walang jurisdiksyon in the first place ang RTC.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000712

That is why pumunta na kami sa Supreme Court para magbigay ng kalinawan ang mataas na hukuman.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000713

Dahil hindi namin kinikilala ang jurisdiksyon ng Regional Trial Court as already enshrined in the Labor Code, Article 126,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000714

now being the Secretary of Labor.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000715

board and employment, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000716

dapat nga hindi nyo kinilalay yung jurisdiction ng korte

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000717

because it is very clear in Article 126.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000718

At merong appeal process.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000719

Ang appeal process kung merong aggrieved party sa Article 123,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000720

binabanggit sa National Wages and Productivity Commission.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000721

So, ang binabanggit ng DOLE ngayon, pagkahaba-haba po nang ine-explain ninyo,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000722

at the end of it all, sinasabi nyo, hindi nyo ipapatupad yung dagdag sahod.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000723

Wala po akong sinabing gano'n po.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000724

O di, ipapatupad nyo po yung dagdag sahod.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000725

Ito po ay nakasalalay sa decision of the government.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000726

Hindi nga, Mr. Secretary.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000727

Ayoko po magpagtalo.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000728

Mr. Secretary.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000729

Kahit po lumabas po ito sa social media.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000730

Yes. Meron po kayong kapangyarihan, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000731

Iginawad ng kongreso yan sa inyo.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000732

RA 6727, ibinigay sa mga regional wage boards

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000733

ang exclusive power in determining wages.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000734

Ngayon sinasabi po, DOLE mismo ang nagbabanggit,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000735

parang hindi kayo makasagot.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000736

Yes or no lang, kasimple.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000737

Ipatutupad ng DOLE, sang-ayon sa nakasulat sa batas.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000738

Kung kakasuhan kayo, Mr. Secretary, nandyan ang OSG.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000739

Ang inihingi po ng mga minimum wage earners at ng mga manggagawa,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000740

tindigan nyo naman yung karapatan ng mga minimum wage earners.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000741

Hindi po namin marinig sa inyo eh.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000742

Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000743

pwede na po ako magsalita?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000744

Yes po.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000745

Alam nyo po, Mr. Chairman, hinahangaan ko po kayo sa sinasabi nyo yan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000746

Subalit, kung titignan natin yung Article 126,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000747

when it refers to a prohibition on injunction,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000748

it refers to a proceeding.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000749

Kaya nga po, sa pagmamahal ko po sa inyong samahan

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000750

at sa mga manggagawa na rin,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000751

tayo po ay nag-issue ng Administrative Order 264

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000752

kung saan po natin niliwanag, pinaliwanag, pinalawak,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000753

binigyan ng ilaw kung ano ang tamang ibig sabihin ng 126

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000754

through an administrative order.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000755

At yan din po ang dahilan kung bakit yung dati kong colleague

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000756

sa mataas na kapulungan, si Sen. Rafi Tulfo,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000757

ay nag-file ng amendatory bill sa Senado

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000758

kung paano dapat maintindihan o mapalawak ang Article 126.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000759

126 refers to proceedings.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000760

So ang ginawa po natin sa Administrative Order No. 264

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000761

ay palawakin ang ibig sabihin ng proceedings, Your Honor.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000762

Pwede po.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000763

Palawakin ang ibig sabihin ng proceedings to include

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000764

implementation, monitoring of the board,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000765

execution, and ensuring that wage orders are complied with.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000766

Pinalawak po natin yun.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000767

Yung po siguro ang isang sinyales na pinaninindigan po natin

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000768

kahit po nung pagpa-file natin ng motion for reconsideration

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000769

na basang-basa na po tayo ng ulan sa Lunsod ng Pasig at Bumabaha

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000770

ay tinuloy po natin.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000771

At para sa kalaman po nga ng kagalanggalang

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000772

na mga kasama dito sa lupung ito,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000773

tayo po ang nag-

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000774

kung kakausapin nyo ang Office of the Solicitor General,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000775

tayo po ang nagsulong, nag-udyok, at naghikayat

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000776

na sila ang mag-file ng motion for early resolution.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000777

Lahat po ng aking hakbang, Your Honors,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000778

ay nakasalalay sa batal.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000779

As bilang isang abugado,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000780

nanumpa po ako na puprotektahan ang batas,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000781

hindi lamang asaligang batas ng Pilipinas.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000782

Binanggit ko po kanina

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000783

that I do not subscribe to the doctrine of self-help.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000784

Hindi po natin dapat hawakan sa sarili nating kamay

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000785

anuman ang interpretasyon natin.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000786

Gusto man natin o hindi na ito ang tamang ipatupad.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000787

We cannot be an arbiter of our own cause or controversies.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000788

Dapat po sana maunawaan ng lupung ito

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000789

na ang ating ginagawa ay paggalang sa batas.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000790

Tama po yung inyong sinasabi, naniniwala po ako,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000791

tama rin po yung sinabi ng kung sino yung Supreme Court spokesperson kahapon,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000792

na kung walang bond, walang writ.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000793

Subalit, ang dapat magsabi po nito ay hindi ako,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000794

kung hindi ang Supreme Court o ang husgado.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000795

At naniliwala rin po ako na karapatan ng manggagawang Pilipino

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000796

sa National Capital Region na matagal kong pinaglingkuran sa Metro Manila

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000797

na makatanggap na sila ng karapat dapat na umento

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000798

dahil sa taas.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000799

Na ng presyo ng bilihin, kuryente, at iba pa.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000800

If that is your position, Mr. Chair, Mr. Sekretary,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000801

bakit hindi nyo po masabi na ipapatupad na ng dole?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000802

Paikot-ikot lang po tayo dito, Mr. Chair, Mr. Sekretary.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000803

Sinasabi nyo po, galangin yung batas.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000804

E batas din naman po ang nagsasabi na kapangyarihan nyo

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000805

yung magpatupad at magtakda ng sahod.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000806

So, bakit hindi po namin makuha mula sa inyo, Mr. Sekretary?

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000807

Pasabihin nyo po yung paulit-ulit na naman,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000808

paikot-ikot na naman tayo sa batas.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000809

Pero batas din ang nagsasabi, iginawad nga sa inyo.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000810

Yung kapangyarihan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000811

Ngayon po, pwede po akong sumagot.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000812

Ngayon po kasi, your honor...

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000813

Maandar yung oras ko, Mr. Chair.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000814

Hindi ko po nakita.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000815

Dati po kasi sa Senado, hindi rin ako nakatingin dyan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000816

Hindi ko po nakita yung oras. Sorry po.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000817

Uulitin ko po.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000818

Kung ano man po ang itinatakda ng batas,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000819

ang magpapalawig,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000820

magpapaliwanag o magkaklarify

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000821

at magtatakda kung ano ang tamang interpretasyon

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000822

ay ang husgado.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000823

Lalong-lalo na ang kataas-taasang hukuman

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000824

at hindi po ang mga abugado.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000825

Hindi po ang mga litigants.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000826

Tayo po ay miyembro ng bar

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000827

at kumikinikilala natin

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000828

ang supremacy of the law

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000829

through our judicial institutions.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000830

So, pagkakataon,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000831

pag sinabi po ng husgado,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000832

ipatupad nyo mamaya, ipapatupad na po natin mamaya.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000833

Pag sinabi po ng husgado,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000834

ipatupad nyo bukas,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000835

ipapatupad natin bukas.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000836

Tayo po ay nagpa-sa-ilalim sa batas

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000837

sa husgado. Kagaya na rin po

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000838

ng ginawa nyo, nung kayo ay nag-file

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000839

ng certiorary sa Supreme Court,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000840

kayo ay nagpa-ilalim

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000841

sa puder ng kataas-taasang

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000842

hukuman. At hinihintay nyo,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000843

hinihintay ko rin

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000844

with bated breath

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000845

kung ano man po ang kalalabasan

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-000846

nung sa Supreme Court.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000847

Sige po. Alam nyo po,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000848

tayo kaya nating mag-antay.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000849

Pero ang mga minimum wage earner na araw-araw

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000850

inaagawan ng 60 pesos,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000851

maliit man sa pandinig natin, malaking bagay

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000852

yan sa buhay ng mga minimum wage earner.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000853

Yan po yung dahilan kung bakit

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000854

nagagalit tayo. Dahil naririnig

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000855

mismo natin sa dole, hindi nyo

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000856

kayang tindigan kung ano yung mandato ninyo.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000857

Napakahaba po ng explanation,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000858

pero hindi nyo kayang ipagtanggol man lang

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000859

yung mga minimum wage earner.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000860

Kaya kung hindi nyo po kayang ipagtanggol,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000861

yung mga manggagawa,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000862

wala po kayong karapatan na humingi ng budget

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000863

na nanggaling din naman

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000864

sa pawis, dugo, at sakripisyo

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000865

ng mga manggagawang minimum wage earner.

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000866

And with that, Mr. Chet,

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000867

I move to defer

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000868

the committee consideration

Source

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000869

of the budget of dole

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000870

for the fiscal year 2027

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-000871

excluding

Kaya nga po, Your Honor,

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001399

pakatapos pong

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001400

lumabas yung

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001402

Pasig RTC, ay atin

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001403

pong inilabas naman

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001404

bilang paghahanda

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001405

yung Administrative Order

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001406

264, which will be

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001407

prospective

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001408

in application.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001409

Para nang sa ganun po ay magabayan yung ating mga regional wage boards sa mga susunod na pagkakataon na kanilang ipatutupad yung bagong wage orders.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001410

At kabilang po dito ang nakaambana sa Region 7, sa Calabar Zone, at sa Region 3.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001411

So yung Administrative Order 264 clarified prospectively.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001412

What they should do, including monitoring, execution, and implementation.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001413

Naniniwala po kami that with this order ay mangangambana na po siguro yung iba namang magfafile.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001414

Pero hindi pa rin siguro natin masasawat na lahat.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001415

Pero dahil doon sa ating inilabas at kagaya po nung sinabi ko si Sen. Tulfo ay meron ding finile sa mataas na kapulungan,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001416

ay palagay ko po ito ay magiging sapat na balakid para hindi sila magsulong free-willingly ng mga ganoong court cases, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001417

Mr. Chair, just for the record, so pag lumabas po ang mga wage order na ito na pending sa iba't ibang regions,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001418

paninindigan po ba ito ng DOLE kahit na may lumabas pa na injunction from other courts in these regions?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001419

Paninindigan po natin yan dahil klaro na po ngayon.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001420

Yung with Administrative Order 264, in-expand na po natin yung definition ng proceedings.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001421

Sa Article 126, yung proceedings ay yung proceedings, yung pagpulong sa isang hapag ng isang wage board o ng kakomisyon ng NWPC.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001422

So balit dito ay maliwanag na kung ano yung mga gagawin.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001423

So sa paninindigan, dati na po naman natin pinanindigan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001424

So balit ngayon mas matibay po yung pinangahawakan natin.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001425

ng mga regional wage boards, pinangahawakan nila na dapat talagang ipatupad.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001426

At yan po ang abangan at babantayan po ng ating mga manggagawa.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001427

Kamakailan lamang po, nakailang beses akong bumalik doon sa picket line ng DUWU, yung DHL United Workers Union, na nandyan po sa sukat.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001428

At sumulat din po ako sa inyong tanggapan at just yesterday natanggap ko po yung inyong tugon.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001429

At gusto ko lang pong linawin kasi ang sinasabi ng DHL management ay nag-terminate daw po ng kontra,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001430

ng Robinsons Supermarket Corporation.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001431

Kaya bigla nilang isasarado yung kanila pong warehouse sa sukat dahil ito daw po ay wala ng reason para mag-open.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001432

So ito po ay malinaw na union busting.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001433

Ang tanong ko po sa Dole, nakita nyo po ba yung termination na letter or agreement between DHL and Robinsons Supermarket Corporation?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001434

Nakatutok po tayo dyan yung ating pong NCMB at yung ilan po nating,

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001435

Assistant Secretaries.

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

In fact, merong mga pangkasalukuyang pag-uusap at alam ko naman po, Your Honor, kayo nakatutok din.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

Siguro ipagpaumanhinan na nahuli ng dating yung aking tugon dahil napakaraming mga holiday noong mga nakaraang araw dahil sa habagat.

Pero kung makukuha niyo po ang detalye, nandito si Asec Kati sa akin.

Can you repeat that, please? Medyo mahina po. If you can speak closer to the microphone. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado

asr-001447

Yes, sir. Through the NCMB, Your Honor, nakita po namin yung service agreement which…

Source

DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado

asr-001448

For the first five years. 2018 to 2025 po ang expiry niya.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001449

Opo. Kasi po, kung matatanda po ng ating mga kababayan, ang mismo pong DHL, in-announce last year na na-extend for another three years yung kanila pong kontrata sa DHL.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001450

Nakita po ba natin ito, yung pronouncement na ito, mismo ng DHL?

Source

DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado

asr-001451

Hindi po, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001452

Marami po kasi nagtatanong, why is the DOLE giving credence to this union buster that is DHL?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001453

Kaya po, yung isa po sa tanong.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001454

Kung natin sa DOLE, ay bakit hindi niyo po ginamit ang Article 292B ng Labor Code para pigilan ang mass termination na ating mga gagawa sa DHL po?

Source

DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado

asr-001455

Sir, kasi po, at this point po, nakasara na po ang DHL. Na-terminate na po yung service agreement and nagkaroon na po ng transition.

Source

DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado

asr-001456

So, we, on the part of the Department of Labor, it has become moot na po.

Source

DOLE OIC-Assistant Secretary Catherine L. Parado

asr-001457

To suspend any termination since the termination of the employee through redundancy, based on redundancy, took effect August 31 of this year.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001458

Nakababahala po, Mr. Chair, na isa itong malinaw na union busting.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001459

Kaya po, marami nagtatanong, ano ang mekanismo natin para magpigilan na ganitong labor rights violation sa ating bansa?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001460

Para pong ganun-ganun na lang, kadali para sa isang malaking kumpanya tulad ng DHL.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001461

Natapakan ang karapatanan.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001462

But let me move on to another issue.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001463

Puta naman po tayo sa issue ng NEA.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001464

We appreciate DOLE for establishing the Electric Cooperative Industry Tripartite Council.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001465

Dahil matagal na itong demand ng labor movement.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001466

Ngunit concerned pa rin po tayo, dahil hanggang sa ngayon, NEA merely suspended rather than rescinded the policies that allow it to interfere in collective bargaining.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001467

Can we get the commitment of the good secretary to issue a joint issuance?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001468

Upholding workers' rights to organize, bargain collectively, and strike even before the ECITC is fully operational?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001469

May kinakausap kasi.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001470

ako ni Congressman Vergara,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001471

But I can respond. I can respond.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-001472

Okay, go ahead.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001473

Alam niyo po, Your Honor, for the first time, we sought the complete attendance of National Electrification Administration,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001474

na si Administrator Nani Almeda, not just because of this pending concern,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001475

but because we are aware that we were flagged by the International Labor Organization likewise.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001476

The administration of NEA is now actively pursuing a tripartite system likewise within the sector.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001477

We understood, we took note of their concerns.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001478

Ang sinasabi po nila, meron daw po mga ilang electric cooperatives na talagang malaki ang kinikita.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001479

Meron naman na...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001480

Maliliit.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001481

Meron namang electric cooperatives na yung management took advantage pretending themselves to be part of the employees group

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001482

na nakikinabang din pag merong dinidistribute.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001483

So, meron po nga yung ongoing technical working group between DOLE and NEA para maresolba po ito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001484

Meron lang kaunting usapin na ayaw ibigay ng NEA yung kanilang quote-unquote regulatory...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001485

powers kung functions na madidilute kung sakaling pumasok sila sa ganitong kasunduan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001486

So, yung ganun pong aspeto ay ang aming pinag-uusapan ngayon.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001487

It will take some time, but I think we're on the right path na mariresolba po ito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001488

May commitment po si NEA Administrator Almeda patungkol po dito.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001489

Mr. Chair, Mr. Secretary, gusto ko lang pong balaan kayo.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001490

Ito pong si Director

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001491

Almeda, isang taon pa pong nangako sa amin dito sa Kongreso.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001492

Pero hanggang ngayon po, hindi pa rin sinususpindi itong policy that allows the NEA to interfere

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001493

in the CBA of our workers' unions in this cooperative.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001494

So, ang pakiusap po namin, while waiting for the tripartite policy,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001495

baka pwede po magbigay ng issuean sa DOLE para sa ganun po.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001496

Pigilan po ito pong hindi po legal na prosesong ito ng pagharang sa CBA ng ating mga frontliners

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001497

pwede ting sa electric co-op industry.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001498

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to proceed to...

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001499

September 29 po yung susunod na pagpupulong namin ng NEA.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001500

September 29, sana po, even before that, baka pwede na po may issueans

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001501

to the effect na sinuspinde po natin at nirescind yung current policy.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001502

Kasi po, kung mag-on-going pa po yung ating negotiations and dialogues,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001503

it will take time bago po fully ma-rescind itong polisiyang ito.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001504

Sana po, for the here and now, baka po pwedeng mahilingan ng isang issuance ang DOLE,

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001505

to allow our unions to proceed with their CBA without the interference of the NEA administration.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001506

Pwede po akong makiusap, Your Honor.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001507

Pwede po kaya sa September 29 ay magpadala kayo ng isang kinatawan

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001508

para makaharap din at maging bahagi ng usapin between DOLE and NEA?

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001509

Ang Power Centro po ay ipapadala natin sa natural dialogue na yan

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Let me go to our colleague from the TESDA, Secretary Benitez.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001513

Sinabi po ng DTI noong nakaraang budget hearing po nila

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001514

that they are shifting their industrial policy from automotive towards electric vehicles.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001515

Ang tanong po ng Philippine Metal Workers Alliance ay

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001516

may we ask if TESDA has ongoing plans to design TVET programs

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001517

catered towards the electric vehicle industry?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001518

We, Mr. Chair, we already have competency

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001519

standards and training regulations for EV, for electric vehicles po.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001520

Ongoing po ang rollout ng training for EV in the energy sector.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001521

I can submit to your officer the list of all the electric vehicle trainings

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001522

that actually TESDA already has, including for two-wheel, three-wheel,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001523

hanggang four-wheel po at trucks and buses.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001524

Meron pong training regulations ang TESDA.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001525

Some of these were developed in partnerships po

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001526

with foreign companies, particularly from China

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001527

that is in advance in terms of having training modules.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001528

So meron po to answer very succinctly.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001529

At ibigay nyo na rin po sa amin kung saan pong areas

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001530

pwede maka-avail ng scholarship ang ating mga kababayan

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001539

Nabinbin daw po ang Construction Workers Training Program

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001540

nitong June 2026.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001541

The interruption of the 2026 cycle could deprive up to 300 workers

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001542

of critical training opportunities.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001543

Ang mabilis pong tanong, bakit hindi natuloy ang training na ito

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001544

and is DOLE considering the resumption of this very critical training program anytime soon?

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001545

That would be my last question, Mr. Chair.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001546

Sorry, Mr. Chair.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001547

Sa amin pala yung tanong.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001548

Sir, this is actually part of an agreement with the DPWH in Daga

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001549

and the funds are still with DPWH po.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001550

So we have not been able to receive the funds in order to conduct the training

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001551

for the displaced construction workers from DPWH projects.

Source

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

asr-001552

So when do we plan to resum this program?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001553

We are waiting, sir, for the transfer of funds.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-001554

We are waiting for the transfer of funds from the DPWH for this purpose.

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña

particularly to my colleagues.

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001567

Mr. Secretary, first I would like to thank you. Galing po ako sa TUCP, a 50-year-old organization,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001568

through the help of the DFA and, of course, Point of Affairs.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001569

And, of course, through your office, the ASEAN,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001570

which the ASEAN Trade Union Council based in Jakarta,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001571

wherein I am a General Secretary, we sent a delegate.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001572

And we'd like to thank the efforts of Ame Tor,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

Torres, ma'am, no?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001577

Yes, I stand corrected.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001578

Papasalamat, no?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001579

Wrong pa yung family name.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001580

Ito, ma'am.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001581

Thank you very much.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001582

And we were able to be recognized.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001583

It's very historic for the ASEAN labor movement.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001584

And, of course, of the International Trade Union Congress,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001585

which is based also in Bangkok.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001586

Second, well, we have, of course, to R.D.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001587

For R.D.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001588

And, uh, ano yung saan ba si R.D.?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001589

Hindi si Buenafe?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001590

Thank you.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001591

Of course, in relation to the wage order,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001592

Mr. Secretary, mamaya lang yan.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001593

First lang, yung sa voluntary arbitrators,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001594

I'm also a member.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001595

The VA, I wish na dapat tagdagan mo yung budget.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001596

Please.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001597

Education alone accounts only for P355,000.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001598

Tupad.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001599

You know naman the budget of Tupad.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001600

Mataas.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001601

So, Mr. Secretary, kindly comment on their commitment and your support

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001602

for the increase of budget for the voluntary arbitrators,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001603

especially the maritime voluntary arbitrators,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001604

again, in which I'm a founding member.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001605

Mr. Secretary.

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001614

kasi ang dami pong weather disruptions

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001615

nagtayo po tayo ngayon

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001616

ng isang maritime labor affairs office

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001617

na nakatutok lang po sa mga karapatan

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001618

ng ating mga seafarers

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001619

whether nagtetraining pa

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001624

Department of Migrant Workers

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001638

ay kakaunti pa ang bahagdan

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001639

o porsyento dahil sa

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

para mag-inspect sa mga

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001643

fishing boats at trawlers. Pero

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001644

nakatutok po tayo dyan. Wala pong isang linggo

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001645

yung tanggapan at sana

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001646

mabigyan namin kayo ng kopya

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001647

noong andito po

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001648

kung maiaabot sa inyo

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001649

at kasama rin po dito

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001650

ang aming

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001651

sa Section 3

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001652

ang pagkakaroon ng maritime industry

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001653

labor conciliator

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001654

mediators and arbitrators

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001655

na tutulong

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001656

sa pagresolba

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001657

ng mga nakabimbin na

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001658

kaso patungkol dito, Your Honor.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001659

Pero gusto kong padagdagan ng detalye

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001660

sa NCMB, yung kakulangan

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001661

noong mga

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001662

mediators natin

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001663

dahil sa budget

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001664

NCMB, nasa dulo lang po.

Source

NCMB OIC-Executive Director IV Teresita E. Audea

asr-001665

Magandang hapon.

Source

NCMB OIC-Executive Director IV Teresita E. Audea

asr-001666

At with the permission of the Secretary, yung pong pondo ng voluntary arbitrators ay nakasama po at nakapaloob sa MOOE ng NCMB.

Source

NCMB OIC-Executive Director IV Teresita E. Audea

asr-001667

So yung pong sinasabi ni Honorable Speaker, Deputy Speaker Mendoza, ay isang malaking bagay kung madadagdagan po yung pondo na yun.

Source

NCMB OIC-Executive Director IV Teresita E. Audea

asr-001668

Ang training component po ng aming budget ay kinukuha para sa mga arbitrators po ay kinukuha sa CBA collection.

Source

NCMB OIC-Executive Director IV Teresita E. Audea

asr-001669

So doon po namin isinosource. Yun lamang po yung nakahiwalay. Siguro nga po maganda pagkadadagdagan yung aming budget para doon.

Source

NCMB OIC-Executive Director IV Teresita E. Audea

asr-001670

Salamat po.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001671

Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Dagdagan mo lang yung education na P355 per thousand per month.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001672

Siguro naman.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001673

And of course,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001674

thank you also for the, yung you already mentioned.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001675

Yung sunod naman, Mr. Secretary, amid all our debates regarding wage order number 27, let us be reminded, maraming gutom.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001676

And of course, yung minimum wage, nandito naman si Executive Director MWPC. Maraming gutom.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001677

And survival wages talaga. And already, I will not, you know, in support of kamanggagawa party list kong ELI.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001678

Ito lang, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001679

So, there is a, you know, you cited a Supreme Court that is already a, there is already a writ issue there.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001680

But in this case,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001681

so now we can talk to Joyce Manungsong, yung sa RTC.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001682

We could have, you know, if all of this, may appeal from TUCP is that hanapin nating solusyon.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001683

And solusyon should be fast.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001684

Kasi,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001685

kasi,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001686

there is a OSG,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001687

and you filed this, right?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001688

Mag-MR ka.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001689

And if I read it na lang, para matapos tayo.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001690

The assailed order should not restrain respondents in implementing the wage order

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001691

in absence of valid and duly issued writ of preliminary injunction.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001692

Sabi lang dito, it bears stressing that the assailed order merely granted the application of a WPI.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001693

However, it did not bring the writ into existence.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001694

Rule 58 po.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001695

Section 4B,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001696

Rules of Court provides the issuance of writ is expressly relies on the fulfillment of certain conditions.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001697

So, conditions in ikwanon.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001698

There is a, if I may mistake, a suspensive condition.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001699

Do not like to stand on, importante na magbayad siya ng bond.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001700

So, there is certain condition which is the bond in this particular, in this moment.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001701

This means that the order granting the P.I. or preliminary injunction,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001702

does not, standing alone, operate as a writ itself.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001703

The injunctive relief becomes legally operational only upon the fulfillment of the condition,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001704

followed by the formal issuance of the corresponding writ.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001705

Until these mandatory steps are fully satisfied,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001706

the assailed order produces no binding injunctive effect.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001707

Pagtatalo tayo dito, Mr. Secretary, your thoughts because I'm losing time.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001708

Kasi talaga, there's no writ to talk about.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001709

Mr. Secretary.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001710

Mga po kayo, yung pong...

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001711

Mr. Secretary, this is OSG.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001712

This is the opinion of the OSG.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001713

Idadagdag ko po, yun pong nakalagay sa pleading ng OSG,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001714

ay meron din pong nanggaling sa DOLE.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001715

Yun po ay bago din raft, in raft, finalized, bago finile,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001716

ay nag-uusap po ang DOLE at kung ano yung mga dapat tamang ilaman dyan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001717

Kaya maulanggalang na sa Office of the Solicitor General,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001718

yung pong sila po yung nag-finalize niya pero malaki rin po ang inputs ng DOLE.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001719

So lahat po nang sinabi dyan ay sumang-ayon kami at sumang-ayon sila.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001720

Yan po ay joint, collaborative endeavor between our legal,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001721

nandun pa po si Yusek Mosquera noon, na ngayon ay lumipat na sa kataas-taasang hukuman.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001722

So yan po ay aming final...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001723

Two.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001724

Precisely pressure, compel, hindi ko po kilala yung nabanggit niyong kilala ko lang sa pangalan,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001725

yung judge, to pressure the judge to come up, come out with that appropriate resolution,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001726

dissolving any existing injunction, and proceed with the eventual implementation of Wage Order No. 27.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001727

Mindful.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001728

Mindful, Your Honor.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001729

Mindful, Your Honor, of another case which we never cited in that motion,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001730

which is entitled Active Wood Products versus Intermediate Appellate Court.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001731

This was issued in 1990, so this is a long-standing jurisprudence, Your Honor,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001732

wherein the Supreme Court rejected the argument,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001733

that the injunction or any order could simply be disregarded because the bond has not yet been filed.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001734

It held that the order plainly intended the acts sought to be stopped must be stopped by the court.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001735

It should not be a unilateral action on the part of, again, I reiterate, the parties' litigants.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001736

Kaya nga po, Your Honor, nagkatulungan po ang OSG.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001737

At ang DOLE, kung paano balangkasin yung naturang pleading para mapabilis po.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001738

At ito pong huling finile, itong September 3 motion to resolve,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001739

ay magkausap din po ang DOLE at ang OSG kung ano yung tenor,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001740

kung ano yung nilalamanan dapat i-file para madaling ma-resolve ba na yung naturang usapin, Your Honor.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001741

Yes, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001742

This morning, I thank you for your visit.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001743

And then, moving forward na lang tayo, let's find ways na ma-resolve ito.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001744

And then, with an assurance from you that there's no such thing as NCR Wage Order No. 28?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001745

Your Honor, kasama po sa trabaho ng mga wage boards, ang humanap din siguro ng paraan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001746

Subalit ang sinisigurado ko pong risulta dito, kung anuman ang mangyayari,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001747

ay yung hinihiling.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001748

Ang ating mga manggagawa na tamang dagdag o mento, ay kanilang matatanggap ngayong taong ito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001749

Hindi ko masabi kung anong buwan ngayong taon ito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001750

Lalong-lalo na po yung first tranche.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001751

Dapat po matanggap na yan sa lalong madaling panahon.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001752

Ang kinakabahan ko po, Your Honor, kanina, nabanggit ko sa inyo,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001753

meron na namang po ang Court of Appeals na ifinile dito po ng Isantiga.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001754

Sa naman po ata ito.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001755

Yes, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001756

So dumadami po yung kaso.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001757

May may may excuse.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001758

This is very, it's complicating the issue.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001759

Yes, sir.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001760

Now, if you issue a Wage Order No. 28 na hindi pa yung tapos 27,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001761

you know, ako I'll be inclined, I'll join Mr. Eli here to defer.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001762

Talo naman kami, pero let's, as I said, let's move forward.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001763

Let's talk on how are we going to find ways, finding that solution, Mr. Secretary.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001764

But issuing?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001765

Now, the Wage Order No. 28 is a complete no-no.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001766

Hindi pwede, Mr. Secretary.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001767

Makakatugon pa ako.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001768

Yes, Sir Francis.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001769

Apologies, Mr. Secretary. Please respond.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001770

Yung, yung, yung pong katapusan ng 27, yung kahihinatnan,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001771

inaamin ko po, wala po sa aking kamay.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001772

Wala po sa aming kamay.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001773

Dahil hindi natin alam kung ano mangyayari doon sa Supreme Court decision din.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001774

Hindi po natin alam din, hindi, uulitin ko, hindi ko naman kilala yung,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001775

ah, RTC Judge.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001776

Nung nag-file po ako, hindi ko alam kung nandun po siya.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001777

Nung nag-file po ako ng motion for reconsideration,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001778

at wala naman po siguro akong karapatan, nakausapin ng juez.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001779

So, your Honor, ginagawa po natin lahat ang pamamaraan

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001780

para nang sa ganun ay maibigay sa mga manggagawang Pilipino dito sa Metro Manila

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001781

yung nararapat sa kanilang umento na hindi lumalabag po sa batas.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001782

At, ah, uulitin ko, yung husgado ay hindi po natin kontrolado.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001783

Kung ganun katagal yan, hindi ko po masagot.

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001837

that we can deliver immediately

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001838

what has been waited for by the workers,

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001839

which is the first tranche

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001840

of Wage Order

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001841

No. 27.

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001842

So, first of all, let me state, ah, please

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-001843

Go ahead, Secretary Francis.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001844

So ang ginawa ng, pasensya na, siguro, Your Honor, Bisaya din ito, kaya hindi diretso-diretso yung Tagalog.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001845

Ang ginawa ng wage board ay ibigay yung first tranche.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001846

The first tranche is not 85 pesos.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001847

The first tranche is 60 pesos.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001848

Tama po siguro yun?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001849

60 pesos.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001850

So, yung ibibigay, kung sakaling approved na yung kanila, ay 60 pesos.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001851

So, yung for this year, tama po yun, di ba?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001852

So, for this year, hindi naman po ibibigay for this year ang 85 pesos.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001853

We're talking of 60.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001854

60.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001855

Yun yung nilalaman ng 27.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001856

So, ang siguro nababalot sa kaisipan ay nasaan yung 25.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001857

The 25 is for next year.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001858

So, ang tinatanong ko rin, sa kaisipan ko, pag inulit ba, yung nilalaman ng wage order 27, na nandun yung 60 at nandun yung 25,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001859

ay inulit lang yung wage order 27 na na-injection, which is a mockery of everything.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001860

Kailan effective yan?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001861

Dapat July.

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001862

Sila po ang makakasalit na.

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

July 25, 60 for this year? Okay.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001864

Why not?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001865

And then 25, ano yun?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001866

In tranches yata yun.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001867

Ah, hindi po.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001868

That's the problem of issuing another wage order.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001869

You get into this trouble of complicating it.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001870

Mr. Chair?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-001871

One tranche, two tranches.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001872

Very important to Mr. Chair.

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001873

You know, NCR workers are waiting for this.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-001874

Yes, I'll allow you one more question to wind up na nababindimin.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-001875

Isang-isa na lang para we can go direct to the next interpreter.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-001876

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001885

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001886

for another process in the Commission.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001887

This is a one-time tranche of 60 pesos.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001888

And if ever the Commission will affirm such wage order,

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001889

perhaps we could publish this on Friday.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001890

The effectivity would be September 26 or 27, Mr. Chair.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001891

Last lang, how did you vote, Director?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001892

And by the way,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001893

importante ito, back wages eh.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001894

Diba?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001895

So, wala ng back wages.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001896

Chairman, how did you vote?

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001897

Because the UCP is there.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001898

That's why we knew about this.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001899

Mr. Director, you're the deciding vote.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001900

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001903

three from the government,

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001904

one from the employer,

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001905

two from the labor sector.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001906

That's right, Your Honor,

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001907

that TUCP is one of the members.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001908

Two representatives from the labor sector dissented

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001909

the wage order.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001910

And one employer also dissented.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001911

So, it's a four-three voting that resulted last night,

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-001912

Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-001913

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001920

moving forward,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001921

dapat mag-usap na lang tayo

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001922

before complicating matters.

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001923

Because, you know, I believe,

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001924

I don't know if you know about

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001925

the movements of this wage board of the NCR

Source

Deputy Speaker Raymond Democrito C. Mendoza

asr-001926

magpanda ka naman.

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002124

So, we're trying to create a system

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002125

at nagtanong po ako

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002126

sa Singapore. Nagtatanong din sila

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002127

sa atin. So, wala po.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002128

Wala po akong maliwanag dyan. So,

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002129

rest assured, Your Honor, na

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002130

kaisan niyo ako dyan kasi ako nga yung nag-file

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

Okay, kiusap

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002153

ako sa ginagawa na ng test

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002154

na ito. Lalong-lalo na sa

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

motorcycle riders. Meron

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002156

silang training school.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002157

Yun naman pong aming OSH, yung

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002158

Occupational Safety, Health

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002159

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002160

po na merong

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002161

tamang gears naman yung mga

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002162

platform providers.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002163

Bibigyan ko na rin po kayo ng

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002164

magiging suli rin dito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002165

Ang magiging suli rin dito ay hindi

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002166

po yung kagamitan nila o yung kakayahan nila

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002167

mag-drive ng motorsiklo kung

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002168

hindi yung kanilang

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002169

nararanasan

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002170

na minsan ay nateterminate

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002171

sila sa pamamagitan lang

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002172

ng online. Ibig sabihin po

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002173

nun, walang due process.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002174

Pag hindi ka binigyan ng apat na araw

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002175

ng delivery

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002176

schedule, ay para ka na rin tinanggal.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002177

So yun po yung

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002178

pinag-aaralan namin kung papaanong

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002179

labor advisory

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002180

ang pwedeng ilabas, na magkaroon

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002181

din naman ng due process.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002182

Lalong-lalo na yung mga

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002183

kababaihan na nagdadrive din ng motor

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002184

ngayon. Marami na ho na minsan

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002185

wala na sila sa app.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002186

Pag wala ka na sa app, ibig sabihin hindi ka na

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002187

hindi ka na-employado

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002188

kung ano man yun.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002189

So yun po yung medyo masalimukot pa

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002190

kasi teknolohiya po ito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002191

Yun po yung aming

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002192

ginagawa po ngayon, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002196

maliit ang kita nila, malaki

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002197

naman po talaga ang kita at

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002198

sila'y kumikita ng dahil po sa ating

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002199

mga riders, na

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002200

even kagaya ngayon

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002201

na may bagyo, umuulan,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002202

pero patuloy pa rin silang

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002203

nagiging bayani

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002204

ng ating bansa para lamang

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002205

makapag-deliver ng

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002206

pangangailangan ng ating mga

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002207

komunidad. Anyway,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002208

dadako po naman ako dahil nabanggit po

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002209

ni Secretary kanina, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002210

yung patungkol sa mga kababaihan,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002211

no? On women labor force

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002212

naman po sa Pilipinas,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002213

female labor force participation

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002214

ay nasa 43.8%

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002215

lang, kumpara sa

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002216

68.3% ng

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002217

lalaki. Ito ay

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002218

second widest gap sa ASEAN

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002219

after Myanmar, na alam naman natin

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002220

na ang Myanmar ay nasa civil war

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002221

pa. In this regard,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002222

ano po kaya ang concrete steps

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002223

ng DOLE para i-close ang gap

asr-002224

na ito?

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-002230

ng kanilang employment.

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

Kasama ho yan sa programa

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

sa access nila sa

employment opportunities.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-002244

Of course, under our existing laws,

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-002271

our existing regulations,

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-002282

yung tinitingnan po natin.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-002283

And it is also good to note

asr-002284

that based on the latest

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

I think a little over

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-002292

almost 50%

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-002293

in 2025,

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-002295

more than 53%.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-002296

So that's an indication

asr-002297

that our collective efforts

to ensure that

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

Mr. Chair, ngayon through

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002382

TESDA, nais ko kamustahin ang

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002383

implementasyong ito. Currently,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002384

what is the average employment rate

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002385

of EBET graduates po?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002386

Madam Chair, ang average

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002387

employment rate ng EBET

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002388

is usually

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002389

89.74%.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002390

Nahihit ba natin

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002391

ang priority industries and

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002392

skills through EBET?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002393

Karamihan po ng mga EBET

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002394

providers natin sa ngayon, are usually

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002395

in upskilling, particularly for AI.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002396

Pero sa totoo lang,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002397

pwede pa rin natin i-ramp up

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002398

yung ibang sectors. So

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002399

naghihintay po kami ng

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002400

industry partners

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002401

and enterprises, halimbawa

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002402

in our advanced manufacturing and

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002403

semiconductors, na mag-ramp up po

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002404

ng EBET providers.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002405

Kasi the training

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002406

regulations and pathways

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002407

are ready for the

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002408

at least these two sectors.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002409

We just need more

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002410

enterprises

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002411

that are willing.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002412

Sa totoo lang, ma'am,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002413

the enterprises

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002414

that are in most demand of it

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002415

are actually in PEZA zones

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002416

and they are

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002417

prohibited from law

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002418

for double dipping in terms of the incentives.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002419

Having said that, the other major

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002420

component

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002421

that is difficult

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002422

for our enterprises,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002423

to register for EBET, ma'am,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002424

actually is the

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002425

suspension

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002426

of the six-month probationary

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002427

period at the end of the apprenticeship

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002428

period, which is of course

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002429

part and parcel of the EBET

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002430

law. And we are

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002431

demanding that they

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002432

abide, ma'am.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002433

Last two questions, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002434

Ilan ang EBET apprenticeship

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002435

programs na meron sa TESDA

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002436

that aims to establish

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002437

in the next two years

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002438

until 2028?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002439

Currently, apprenticeship

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002440

specific, which is separate

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002441

from upskilling and general EBET,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002442

we have 85

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002443

programs

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002444

and we want

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002445

this to increase, particularly

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002446

in what Doley

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002447

used to call apprenticable trades.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002448

So this is mostly, ma'am,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002449

in construction,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002450

in the traditional trades.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002451

So we would like that to expand

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002452

between now and at the end of the term.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002453

Okay. Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002454

Regarding sa EBET

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002455

digital one-stop portal,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002456

kailan po kaya inaasahang maging

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002457

operational ito? Ano ang mga

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002458

proseso sa labor, dispute,

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002459

resolution, and

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002460

ang tiyak na masisimplify

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002461

o makokonsolidate sa pamamagitan

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002462

nito? Last question na po yan, Mr. Chair.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002463

This is still under

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002464

development, no?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002465

Because we are, in fact, tweaking the

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002466

protocols and procedures.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002467

The major obstacle to its

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002468

rollout, Mr. Chair, is in fact

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002469

the area-specific

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002470

basis of

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002471

our registration process,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002472

which is being amended

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002473

in terms of

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002474

processes specific to EBET.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002475

So that has been the major

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002476

obstacle.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002477

The labor component

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002478

as part of the registration

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002479

for an EBET program

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002480

will require resolution, conflict

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002481

resolution mechanisms

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002482

within, in fact, the enterprise

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002483

themselves. So bahagi po yan

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002484

ng certification process

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002485

na medyo masalimot

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-002486

din po from TESDA side.

Source

Rep. Dadah Kiram Ismula

asr-002487

Okay. Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair.

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002571

15% of Filipinos seeking

72%

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

relied on informal advice

from family or friends.

Meron tayong 1.7

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002583

yung iba po ay

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002584

tumitingin na lang sa social media

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002585

nagtatanong sa mga

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

kamag-anak.

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

Ganon din po sa datos ng NCMB.

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002588

Na halos walang

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002589

makapagreklamo, makadulog

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002590

dahil wala silang kakayahang legal.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002591

So ito pong pagtatayo

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002592

ng Labor Attorney's Office

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002593

ay walang pagkakaiba doon sa

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002594

Public Attorney's Office.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002595

Subalit yung Public Attorney's Office

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002596

ay nabibigatan na rin

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002597

sa kanilang

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002598

load dahil halos

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002599

lahat ng free legal assistance

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002600

ngayon ay sa iba't-ibang

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002601

uri ng kaso.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002602

Kasong criminal man

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002603

o

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002604

sibil. So yung financial

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002605

barriers, yung logistical

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002606

constraints ay tutugunan

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002607

nitong Labor Attorney's

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002608

Office sa buong Pilipinas.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002609

Maliit lang po itong

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002610

50 million para po

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002611

sa karagdagang

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002612

mahigit sandaan

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002613

64.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002614

64 na abugado

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002615

para po dito sa Labor Attorney's Office

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002616

at kaya kami po ay

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002617

dumudulog sa inyo na sana po

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002618

ito ay

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002619

ma-

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002620

bigyan ng

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002621

kaukulang pansin. 75 million nga pala

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002622

nagkamali po ako.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002623

So the

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002624

the goal

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002625

is to

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002626

lessen

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002627

unburden the legal system

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002628

right now by providing

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002629

legal assistance

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002630

to our workers. Kasi

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002631

sabi ko nga po, wala pong abugado

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002632

karamihan yung ating mga

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002633

manggagawa kahit

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002635

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002637

labor arbiters, 35,000 cases

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002638

annually ang hinahandel.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-002640

kaya po nangangailangan kami

para makuha,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002864

yung ating new entrance to the labor

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002866

ngayong July and June,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002867

pumasok sila sa labor

Source

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

nangyari din, dahil po,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002870

may slowdown yung ating economy.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002871

2.3% lang po yung

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002872

ating GDP growth rate.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002873

Kaya hindi sila makakatch up

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002874

dun sa increase of the labor

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002875

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002876

pag-create ng jobs. Kaya

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002877

tumaas po yung ating. So, marami

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002878

po ngayong mga kabataan,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002879

15 to 24 years old,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002880

ang hindi po makapasok sa tamang

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002881

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002882

na po dyan yung ating weather

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002883

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002884

na po naapektado po yung ating

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002885

agriculture. Ang tanong

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002886

po nyo eh, mayroon po

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002887

ba't kaming

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002889

Marami po kayong wish list.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002890

Unang-una po eh, sana po

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002891

mabigyan po natin ng karapatang

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002892

budget in attention yung

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002893

ating mga youth employability

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002894

programs. Kasi po yung sila

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002895

yung nangangailangan ng

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002896

guidance in terms of

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002897

internship. Paano po sila

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002898

makagain ng eksperyensya

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002899

para matanggap sila?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002900

Sa trabaho. So, karamihan

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002901

po kasi ng employers natin, pag wala

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002902

kang experience, hindi ka tatanggapin.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002903

Pangalawa po, para may access

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002904

sila sa labor market information,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002905

kasi marami po tayong mga bakante,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002906

hindi po maka-absorb

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002907

ng ating mga kabataan dahil

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002908

hindi akma yung kanilang

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002909

educational

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002910

attainment, at

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002911

hindi po sila

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002912

well aware nung ating

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002913

vacancies

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002914

kasi marami din po tayong

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002915

hard to fill occupations,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002916

meron din po tayong emerging occupations,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002917

at meron din po tayong

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002918

ongoing na

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002919

vacancies na nagpa-pile up

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002920

po every year. So, kailangan po

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002921

natin paigtingin yung ating labor market

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002922

information, kaya po tayo

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002923

gusto natin paigtingin yung ating

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002924

public employment service offices, kasi

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002925

sila yung tumutulong nationwide.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002926

Sila yung nag-offer ng

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002927

nagbibigay ng information, kung sino

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002928

yung mga job seekers, ano yung

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002929

profile nila,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002930

ano yung mga vacancies, sino yung mga employers na naghahanap ng mga right skills nationwide.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002931

Kaya po kailangan natin paigtingin ito.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002932

So meron po kami yung aming sa Public Employment Service Office.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002933

At kasama po dito, at in fact sa September 14 po nga,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002934

meron kami nationwide job fairs, 84 job fairs nationwide.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002935

At kami po ay magpaparticipate dito sa job fairs na to.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002936

Pero hindi lang po sadyang job fair lang to.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002937

Hindi yung pupunta lang yung mga tao para bigyan ng trabaho,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002938

kundi bigyan sila ng guidance, career development support.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002939

Ano ba yung tamang karir o ano pa yung tamang trabaho para sa'yo?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002940

At kung hindi ka man matanggap na trabaho, bakit? Ano yung kakulangan?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002941

So may advisory component po yan.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002942

At kasama po namin yung test that's dun sa aming tinatawag na enhanced job fairs

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002943

kasi ika-guide sila.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002944

So baka kailangan pa nila ng skills training o kailangan nila ng certification

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002945

dun para matanggap ng karapat-dapat na trabaho.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002946

So yung aming labor market information system, ang peso,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002947

ang aming youth employability program, sa to po yung programa namin dyan,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002948

the famous government internship program,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002949

which is very much in demand in the public service.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002950

Nakita namin na tumaas for...

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002951

2027 and maraming salamat. Sana po mag-grant yung increase na yun.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002952

Yung aming special program for the employment of students

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002953

kasi meron po kaming indigent students na nagtatrabaho during vacation

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002954

para lang makabayad ng tuition.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002955

And yung aming job start, ito po yung kailangan po namin i-link sila closely with employers.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002956

Dyan po pumapasok yung mga critical skills at internship with employers.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002957

Pero hindi lang po technical training.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002958

We also guide them with soft skills.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002959

Yung teamwork.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002960

Ngayon po kailangan ng AI.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002961

Lahat po tayo kailangan ng AI training, AI orientation.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002962

So yun po kasama po yan dun sa aming mga programa.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002963

Tapos of course we have to adjust our programs to climate change, renewable energy,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002964

kasi siya po yung mga in-demand na mga skills ngayon.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002965

And then of course yung nabanggit na po ni...

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002966

ni Secretary Tolentino, yung aming pag-support sa micro, small, and medium enterprises

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-002967

through our adjustment measures program po.

Source

asr-002968

wage order number 28.

With an increase of P60, making it the intended minimum wage for NCR is already P755.

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

A copy of this wage order, Mr. Chair, is already submitted and forwarded to the National Wages and Productivity Commission, NWPC, for another process of affirmation.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-003083

With the timeline, Mr. Chair, if the Commission will convene immediately, we are expecting that publication for this wage order number 28 will be on Friday at the earliest possible time and the effectivity would be on September 26 or 27, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003084

Natanong ko ito, Mr. Chair, dahil nais natin na maipahayag din ang ating paninindigan na mali ang naging injunction sa wage order 27 at kapag tinanggap ito ng DOLE at ngayon mayroon ng wage order 28, para na rin silang pumayag na legal ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003085

Bukod dyan, hindi pwedeng crunch 1 na ang wage order 28 na P60 ng wage order 27 dahil dapat magkahiwala ito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003086

Kapag na-lift ang TRO sa wage order 27, dapat magkahiwala.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003087

P120 pesos na ang increase this 2026, kasama na ang P25 pesos pa na second tranche sa January 2027.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003088

Nabanggit ko ito, Mr. Chair, dahil sinabi rin ng DepDev sa kapulungan na ito na ang poverty threshold ngayon sa labas ng NCR, mas mababaho yung kanilang tinatakda na value, nasa P488 pesos kada araw para sa pamilya ng lima sa labas ng NCR.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003089

Nasa 12 regions ang may minimum wage na mas mababa na sa poverty threshold ng DepDev.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003090

Ibig sabihin, hindi na sapat na iisa na lang na minimum wage earner na dapat mas marami pa o kaya naman nagkocontribute ito sa mas mataas na oras ng paggawa dahil nagahanap ng mas maraming racket, mas maraming pagkakakitaan para lang makahabol sa gastusin ng mga pamilya.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003091

Kaya naninindigan tayo.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-003092

Sana maging challenge na rin sa kongreso na ito ang pag-uusap tungkol sa establishment ng national minimum wage, gayon din ang pag-uusap tungkol sa sahod na nakabubuhay para sa mga manggagawa, nakakasuporta para sa kanilang mga pamilya, habang tinitiyak din natin yung mga subsidies para sa mga baliliit na negosyo.

Ngayon naman, Mr. Chair, hayaan niyo ako magpunta sa implementation ng maternity and paternity leaves.

asr-003518

topic is mr chair on the impact of the artificial intelligence on our bpo and call center workers

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003519

there are now more than 15 000 workers employed in the ict bpo industry in negros oriental

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003520

according to the local ict bpo industry and the sector continues to expand the bpo industry has

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003521

been one of the major sources of employment not only for negros oriental

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003522

but for filipinos no particularly for young workers and those entering the workforce but

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003523

with the rapid adoption of ai many routine customer service and support functions are

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003524

increasingly being automated i understand that dolly is already pursuing upskilling

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003525

reskilling and adjust transition framework for workers affected by technological change

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003526

my question is does dolly have a specific program

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003527

strategy for bpo and call center workers who may be displaced or whose jobs may be significantly

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003528

altered by ai i would also like to ask whether dolly is working with the bpo industry to require

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003529

or encourage companies adopting ai to provide meaningful reskilling and redeployment opportunities

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003530

for their existing employees because our objective would not simply be to prepare for unemployment

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003531

we should prepare them to work alongside AI

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003532

and to move into the higher-valued jobs that AI itself is creating.

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

Ma'am, pwedeng palapit yung...

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003538

Some further information on AI.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003539

In the Philippine labor market,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003540

we're saying that AI is transforming jobs

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003541

rather than outright replacing them.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003542

And with our study, we've seen very small unemployment rates,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003543

3 to 4 percent,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003544

and we've identified which occupations these are.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003545

More of the affected jobs and roles,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003546

nabanggit niyo na po yung BPO, IT-BPM,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003547

clerical and administrative support,

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003548

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003549

accounting and related processing,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003550

other areas,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003551

certain sales and service roles,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003552

and ang geographic concentration,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003553

NCR, Central Luzon, Calabar Zone,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003554

nang banggit niyo po sa Visayas.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003555

What are the jobs being created?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003556

AI-related specialists.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003557

Kaya po yung ating upskilling, reskilling,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003558

are very important dahil we have to upgrade

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003559

the occupations of these jobs,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003560

which are affected by AI.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003561

So may mga bagong occupations,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003562

and we have to be really alert

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003563

kung ano po yung occupations na to.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003564

AI-related specialists,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003565

masyado pong specialized sila,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003566

from engineers, AI trainers, auditors,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003567

we have po the list we can provide you the information.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003568

Data analysts,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003569

high-value BPO services,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003570

and industry groups,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003571

and we have really been working closely with IBPAP

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003572

ever since two years ago,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003573

we've been already working with them,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003574

providing them also support,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003575

not only for training,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003576

but also supporting youth

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003577

who are going through this different occupation.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003578

So what are our other programs sa aming isa DOLE?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003579

Of course, employment facilitation, importante.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003580

How do we guide these adults who are displaced?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003581

Saan ang occupation sila na-displaced?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003582

Ano yung saan sila pwedeng pumuntang

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003583

occupations na AI-related?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003584

Kaya importante po yung ating

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003585

Public Employment Service Offices.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003586

Skills development,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003587

Tekniko will give details on this,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003588

but also social protection,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003589

kasi po yung mga AI-adjusted unemployment insurance,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003590

kailangan namin yung iredi.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003591

And then ensure also gender-responsive measures,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003592

kasi women are also quite affected by AI,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003593

including the ITBPM.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003594

And then, of course, governance,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003595

and for your information po,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003596

the government, led by the President himself,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003597

has passed an AI governance framework.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003598

Ano po itong AI governance framework?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003599

The core objectives is basically

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003600

AI adoption must be trusted,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003601

inclusive, ethical, and innovation-driven.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003602

So we're closely working, member po yung DOLE,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003603

dun sa network na ito,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003604

this is led by DepDev and DOST,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-003605

and we're also working towards implementation of the programs.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003607

Mr. Chair, if I may.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003608

Ma'am, you're correct, of course.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003609

I just wanted to highlight it,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003610

and it was part of my very, very rough

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003611

and quick presentation earlier.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003612

The TESDA has,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003613

in fact, been part of crafting the AI upskilling roadmap.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003614

This is also done, as I said earlier,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003615

in conjunction, in fact, with DOLE's studies.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003616

Just for information for 2026,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003617

through our partnership,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003618

and in Dumaguete, ma'am, it's STI

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003619

that's rolling it out for us,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003620

36,766 beneficiaries

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003621

for institution-based AI,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003622

and data courses.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003623

For BPO workers, ma'am,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003624

we have 10,000,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003625

in this case through enterprise-based education.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003626

And we also have community-based micro-credentials, ma'am,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003627

which can also help adoption

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003628

and migration into AI-enabled tools and jobs.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003629

The Office of the President has put in

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003630

500 million, ma'am, for micro-credentials for LEAP,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003631

primarily as part of this effort.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003632

So just to say that

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003633

it's a large-scale attempt to prioritize,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003634

in fact, AI adoption across the board.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003635

And thank you, ma'am, for housing

Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003638

to those who are not employed

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003639

with any BPO companies,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003640

or those independent,

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003641

how do we approach them?

Source

Rep. Ma. Isabel L. Sagarbarria

asr-003642

How do we get in touch with them?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003643

Ma'am, this is part of the institution-based,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003644

because our partnership with IBPAP

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003645

focus primarily on their needs

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003646

and their industries, right?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003647

So there are two ways for BPO.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003648

Let's start with BPO.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003649

The upskilling of their current employees

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003650

is part of our program,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003651

as already been mentioned by Yusek Torres.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003652

And then for their applicants,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003653

particularly for their near hires,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003654

we also have micro-credential processes

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003655

so that what they are missing

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003656

in order to become eligible to be hired by the BPO

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003657

can also be given to them as training.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003658

Aside from the enterprise-based education, ma'am,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003659

we also, as I said,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003660

have the institution-based,

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003661

which is open to everyone,

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003663

or not employed for upskilling.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003666

we have the training modules.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003667

And up and coming, ma'am,

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-003668

is a convergence with DICT as well

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003698

meron po tayong powerpoint uh parang hindi nakikita yung buo niya na yung baba po

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003699

paki yan okay so uh historic naga historical ano tayo na overview binalikan natin yung budget ng

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003700

dole from 2016 which is the end of the aquino administration up to 2026 isang dekada

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003701

and then the the also included there is the 2027 proposal so this is the total budget of dole

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003702

uh and the orange part, yun ang TUPAD. So yung blue, that?s the rest of the DOLE budget,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003703

for everything no moeps capital outlay okay so very obvious naman po yung point natin dito no

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003704

na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003705

16 at the start of the or at the end of the aquino administration uh total budget nang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003706

uh nang dole actually was 9.12 billion of which 3.2 billion was too bad

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003707

36 percent of total. Pagdating sa 2026, ten years later,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003708

ang budget ng DOLE ay kabuuang

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003709

um

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003710

it's a total of 30 billion of which 22 billion or 75 percent is to pad no at

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003711

sa totoo lang hindi yun yung pinakamalaking pondo sa tupad kita nyo naman diba yung 2024

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003712

the notorious year of 2024 bat ko sinabing notorious kasi ito rin yung pinakamalaki yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003713

flood control no it so happens dito rin pinakamalaki yung tupad

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003714

uh umabot sa 82 percent of the dolly budget yung tupad okay and then if we go to the next tab

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003715

uh ito lang pinapakita lang nito yung

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003716

uh left bar nep and then right bar for each fiscal year i

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003717

ga so ano lang pinapakita rito ibig sabihin

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003718

malaki yung tupad pero lalong pinalalaki pagka yung nep nagiging gaa ibig sabihin congress

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003719

you know uh every year nilalakihan niya yung tupad and marcado po again yung congressional

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003720

interventions para palaking ng tupad starting in well starting in the 2019 the the latter half of

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003721

duterte administration pero marcado talaga under the marcus jr administration

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003722

Okay, so last tab, yung yan. Ilang mga punto? So nakita natin yung dole po, yung total dole budget lumaki ng 229% in 10 years. During that period, yung tupad budget lumaki by 588%.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003723

Samantalang, yung mga dole budget, yung dole, yung the rest of the dole budget, lumaki by 29%.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003724

Visually, kung titignan nyo, halos hindi lumalaki yung budget ng dole, the other, rest of dole.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003725

And so, to sum up, in 2016, 36% ng dole budget was tupad.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003726

Now, it's 75. At one point, it was more than 80% of the total budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003727

So, in other words, ang punto po natin dito ay, ano na ba ang dole?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003728

Labor and Employment Agency or Ayuda Agency.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003729

Bakit po ganito na ang budget ng dole?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003730

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003731

This question is as much posed to the agency.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003732

As to Congress as a whole and the Marcos Jr. Administration.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003733

No?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003734

Bakit parang ang dole naging Ayuda Agency?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003735

Of course, nasabihin, temporary employment yan.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003736

Pero, alam nyo, sa publiko, ang tingin dyan Ayuda.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003737

Tapos ngayon, ang concern po natin, nasabihin, eh, ka-Congress ang naglalagay nyan eh.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003738

Kaya lang,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003739

bago akong magsimula,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003740

tama-tama, si Yusec mismo nagsabi,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003741

dagdagan daw

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003742

yung tupad budget.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003743

Yung pinakamalaking hinihingi nyong increase

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003744

ay sa budget ng tupad.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003745

Hindi ba medyo, has dole not lost its way?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003746

Iyan na ba ang gawain ng dole ngayon?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003747

Isa na ring Ayuda Agency.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003748

Thank you, Your Honor.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003749

Perhaps I can put this in a proper perspective, although I'm just,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003750

ilang linggo na ba ako rito?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003751

Kami tatlong buwan na.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003752

The expansion of tupad, from my recollection, can be traced during the COVID-19 pandemic days.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003753

So, it really expanded because of the need to provide assistance to displaced workers.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003754

And that's the appropriate term.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003755

Thank you.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003756

Utilized by Your Honor, quote-unquote, Ayuda,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003757

and even local government units were able to perform them,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003758

this Ayuda function.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003759

But, as it evolved, my recollection, likewise,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003760

would show some positive lights

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003761

on the basis of the allocation

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003762

and the disbursement and utilization,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003763

when it comes to priority areas like fourth and sixth class municipalities.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003764

And I was surprised when I went to some localities I've never been before,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003765

Cebu, for instance,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003766

that there are indeed projects helping the poor and the marginalized,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003767

especially the de-left, if Your Honor is familiar with this.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003768

So, it has evolved into

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003769

containing parameters that would involve poverty incidents,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003770

which is likewise lodged in another department,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003771

magnitude of poor families, disaster mitigation interventions.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003772

And just before Your Honor arrived,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003773

the good Undersecretary mentioned a lot about the latest labor force survey.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003774

Tupad.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003775

Tupad, in a way, has been able to intervene,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003776

although in a short term,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003777

other facets of social inequalities existing,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003778

including, if I can underscore,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003779

Wala na dito si Congresswoman, dito si Secretary,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003780

si Congressman wala na. The

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003781

assistance

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003782

given to migratory

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003783

sugarcane

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003784

workers, especially now that there is an epidemic called RSSI,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003785

and a lot of other interventions given by the Tupad program,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003786

including assistance to youth trying to enter the labor force through the GIP

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003787

via Tupad, the government internship program.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003788

Sa tingin ko po, Your Honor,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003789

yung katagang naging TUPAD-TUPAD na lang ang DOLE can be a misnomer

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003790

because we have indeed, through Tupad,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003791

provided assistance to fisher folks,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003792

through transport groups.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003793

Ito po, nung after February 28, little would others know na

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003794

yung programa ng DOTr na pagbibigay ng tulong

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003795

sa mga transport cooperatives,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003796

lalong-lalo sa Metro Manila,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003797

is via Tupad.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003798

Yung natulungan na pong mga tricycle,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003799

mga TODA, yung mga jeepney drivers, etcetera,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003800

ganoon din po sa pagbubukas ng eskwela,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003801

kaya napadali po yung Brigada Eskwela through TUPAD,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003802

Your Honor.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003803

So, it has evolved, Your Honor,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003804

not just as a one-time short-term financial amelioration program,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003805

but it has now evolved into a program

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003806

that would cater not just to the displaced workers,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003807

but to a local community's actual needs.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003808

For instance, we have a flooding situation in Pampanga.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003809

A good congresswoman is here.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003810

Tupad intervention would,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003811

would help,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003812

help not just provide additional employment,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003813

because the cleaners just came out.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003814

No.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003815

No.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003816

I respect the innovation

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003817

provided from some members of Congress,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003818

and I was surprised.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003819

There are partners here in our committee

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003820

and in the lower ranks

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003821

that would provide

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003822

Tupad assistance to board passers,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003823

let passers, teachers,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003824

to engage pupils,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003825

grade ones to three,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003826

for a mentorship tutorial program,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003827

to capacitate them for better reading skills,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003828

writing,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003829

and I even suggested arithmetic.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003830

So, it's not bad, because

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003831

the 1,000 students of Caloobo,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003832

of your fellow minority,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003833

and I'm referring now to Congressman Erice,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003834

he has 1,000 to 2,000 pupils

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003835

who cannot read adequately,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003836

nor write.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003837

Now, they can read Tupad.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003838

Because they hired teachers,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003839

they gather students on Saturday and Sunday

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003840

to learn basic skills.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003841

If I say,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003842

if this is not taught,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003843

maybe grade four will drop out.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003844

And we're,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003845

Your Honor,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003846

we're still thinking

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003847

of other ideas

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003848

on how to upgrade this.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003849

It's not just the cleanliness,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003850

the tidiness.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003851

The GIP is a perfect example.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003852

The others who joined the GIP

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003853

were hired by the Bureau of Fire,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003854

were hired by the police,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003855

by the PNP.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003856

We're more than willing to provide you,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003857

Your Honor,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003858

a portfolio.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003859

A portfolio of Tupad programs.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003860

So,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003861

maybe in other places,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003862

that misnomer might have continued.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003863

But we're trying to carve a better perspective

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003864

on how Tupad should be seen in the near future.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003865

Perhaps involving artificial intelligence,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003866

assistance to shipbuilders.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003867

There is a big shipbuilding industry in Zambales

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003868

and a lot of other things,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003869

Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003870

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003871

Alam ko po tapos na ang oras.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003872

So ira-wrap up ko lang po yung point, ano.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003873

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003874

We note the vigorous defense

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003875

of the Secretary of the TUPAD program.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003876

Pero ang objective ko po rito

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003877

ay i-raise talaga as a policy question

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003878

'yung pagpapatuloy.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003879

Nabanggit na

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003880

lumaki ito sa panahon ng pandemya.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003881

That is true.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003882

Lockdown talaga noon.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003883

Pero tapos na ang lockdown,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003884

tapos na ang pandemya,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003885

ay pambihira pa rin po ang patuloy na paglaki

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003886

at gayon nga humihingi pa ng additional ang DOLE rito, no?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003887

Ngayon, may sinasabi si Secretary,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003888

may mga best practices

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003889

na nagagamit 'yung TUPAD.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003890

Pero for the most part,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003891

unfortunately,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003892

ang naririnig natin at alam din ng publiko,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003893

'yun pa rin talagang walis-walis ang TUPAD.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003894

So is this the most productive way

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003895

to use public funds?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003896

No.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003897

Samantala,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003898

nandiyan ang TESDA.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003899

Nakikita natin si Sec Kiko.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003900

Eh ito kapos naman ng pondo

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003901

for the actual long-term skills development.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003902

'Di ba?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003903

So 'yun po 'yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003904

Ang gusto nating i-raise dito,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003905

and also

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003906

the unspoken,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003907

which I will mention,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003908

nakatali po sa patronage eh,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003909

sa barangay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003910

Alam naman natin 'yun.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003911

Iba 'yung TUPAD.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003912

Okay.

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003913

So

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003914

nire-raise po natin,

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003915

dapat ba patuloy pang lakihan

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003916

ng lakihan ng pondo sa TUPAD?

Source

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio

asr-003917

Right?

Good afternoon, Secretary, and to Dole and Testa. When your NEP for 2027 fell compared to the 2026 GAA by about 8%, I would assume that prior to the issuance or release of the proposed NEP for 2027,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003921

you have submitted programs.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003922

You have submitted programs that have been removed because not all 100% are being given. What are the programs that you have submitted that because your NEP for 2027 fell by 8%, it was removed and you want to return it?

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003923

I would defer to Undersecretary Warren Platt. It's in his details.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003924

You're referring to programs not part of ILS, not part of NWPC. NLRC went down, PRC went up. Kayo na po mag-provide ng dito.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003925

Thank you, Secretary. With the permission of the Secretary, yung mga nakat po sa budget ng Dole ay ang mga sumusunod po.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003926

Sa case po ng Dole proper, yung pong Tupad program.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003927

Sa livelihood program. At saka po yung computerization program po namin kasi yung capital outlay po ay nag-scale back na po, MOE na lang po.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003928

And then sa case ng ILS naman po increase, ang NCMB naman po ay decrease dahil sa non-approval ng proposed additional ICT requirements

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003929

which is under the maintenance and other operating expenses and capital outlay at hindi rin po kami nabigyan sa NCMB ng proposed funding for the acquisition of ICT.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003930

For the NLRC po, yung net decrease naman ay due to the following retirement of five commissioners with cotermius employees, non-approval ng proposed additional ICT requirements,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003931

non-approval din ng proposed replacement ng fully depreciated motor vehicles.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003932

Sa case ng NWPC, it's an increase. PRC is an increase.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003933

TESDA is a decrease. In terms of MOE, it's a substantial reduction in the provisions of the implementation of the program such as the special training for employment program or STEP,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003934

training for work scholarship program or TWSP, and lifelong employability and advancement program, micro-credentials for near-hires, in-service workers in the future workforce.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003935

And also a reduction in their foreign-assisted project.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003936

Particularly the supporting innovation in the Philippine Technical and Vocational Education and Training System or SIPTIVETS.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003937

And capital outlay, no provision for their ICT and vehicle as well.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003938

Thanks po.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003939

So, in particular, yung computerization, paano ito nakakapekto sa trabaho ng DOLE?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003940

Yung sa computerization naman po, sa 2026 may budget naman po kami.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003942

Ang hindi na lang po na-provide for next year, yung mga capital outlay na pambili ng mga hardware like computers, kasi meron na po provided for 2026.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003943

At may mga natira pa po na 2025 na continuing po na this year na dapat na rin po naming maubos, pambili rin po ng mga hardware components such as desktop, laptop, computers.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-003944

At ito po ay mga nakapila na po for the procurement process po.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003945

Mr. Secretary, kanina yung tinanong ni Kong Jolo.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003946

Yung programa na naisip ninyo, yung NALJ or National Academy of Labor Justice at saka yung Labor Attorney's Office.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003947

Ito ho ba kasama na mga programang isinumiti nyo pero hindi na pondohan?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003948

Kasama po yan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003949

In fact, we wrote a separate letter to the Speaker of the House, the members of...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003950

And committees and pretty soon with the Senate President himself.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003951

So, naniniwala po kami na kailangan ito. Ano lang naman po?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003952

50 million plus 75 million.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003953

125 million po to address the...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003954

One, to address the needs of the workers in Labor Attorney's Office para may free legal assistance sila nationwide to hire 64 lawyers.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003955

And then yung pangalawa...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003956

Para magkaroon tayo ng isang academy na magte-training sa mga mediators, conciliators, labor arbiters, etc., etc.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003957

And continuing education na rin po.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003958

Ito yung gap na nakita nyo sa loob ng tatlong buwan magmula nung itinalaga kayo na sekretary ng DOLE.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003959

Ito yung gap na gusto nyong punan.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003960

Yung training sa mga quasi-judicial officers. Tama po ba?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003961

Opo, in the short term.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003962

At marami pa po rin tayong...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003963

Kagaya po ang nasabi ko kanina, siguro ad hoc na lang po yun.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003964

Tatag po tayo ng isang Maritime Labor Affairs Office para naman po mag-comply sa International Labor Organization.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003965

At para matulungan din yung ating mga tripulante.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003966

Hindi lang yung nasa laot kung hindi yung mga nagsisiman pa rito, etc., etc.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003967

Yung sa hinihingi nyo po na pondo para sa NALJ na lang para may click.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003968

Na 50 million. Ano po yung batayan o basis ng 50 million?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003969

Meron po kaming makapal na dokumento rito para dun sa 83 pages po ito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003970

Para dun lang po to operationalize this proposal, it would require a retooling of the existing ILS.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003971

I have to be frank.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003972

Institute of Labor.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003973

For studies, it would require the creation of a governing board.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003974

It would require the creation of an office of a chancellor, a better library and research development program,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003975

as well as pursue the two pillars I mentioned a while ago, labor justice, education, professional formation.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003976

This is a continuing education.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003977

And then, pillar two is labor justice policy, research and knowledge development,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003978

which is the focus of the ILS.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003979

Eventually, produce publications.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003980

Kung makikita nyo po, your honor, napakagaling ng Bureau of Internal Revenue,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003981

yung kanilang mga issuances, regulations, number, blah, ganun po.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003982

Sa amin po, medyo nalilito na rin ako na dun sa numbering pa lang.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003983

So, we hope to codify all of this.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003984

So, parang silang merong database sa mga precedents na pwedeng pagbatayan

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003985

para consistent po yung paglabas sa mga desisyon at saka mga rulings,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003986

dahil meron silang parang, pwede silang sumangguni dun sa database na yun.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003987

Gusto rin namin po magkaroon ng ISCRA para sa NLRC.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003988

Gusto rin namin magkaroon ng ISCRA para sa mga labor arbiters.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003989

Ngayon po, sa proposed NEP for 2027, binanggit po ni Undersecretary kanina na tumaas po yung budget para sa ILS.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003990

Now, binanggit po yung budget para sa ILS.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003991

So, binanggit po yung NALJ. Yan po ang papalit sa ILS.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003992

Yung karagdagang pondo na mapupunta sa, at yung pondong nilaan para sa ILS, I would assume,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003993

the NALJ will take over. Tama po ba?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003994

Correct. But the present increase in the NEP of the ILS is just for the ILS per se.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-003995

Okay.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003996

Hindi pa po nakapatong dun yung NALJ because NALJ would require,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003997

itong 50 million na ito, ma-itemize naman po ito, would require the additional facilities such as a digital library

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003998

and perhaps a modest courtroom, parang moot court, na kung saan pwedeng mag-practice yung mga nag-a-apply na NLRC commissioner or labor arbiters.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-003999

Ganon din po yung mga estudyante nating fourth year sa law school.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004000

Yung detalye po na yan, yung hawak nyo,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004001

na-submitin na po sa committee.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004002

Kasi yan po yung parang justification for the 50 million for the NALJ.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004003

Yes, we can submit this, Your Honor, today.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004004

Kung maaari po.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004005

Opo. Although this is my copy, kung tatanggapin nyo po, may mga notes, notes lang ako. May mga sulat lang ako eh.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004006

And then, pangalawa po, same request for the Labor Attorney's Office, 75 million, some justification for, the justification for that, the computation.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004007

Ipipigay ko na po ngayon.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004008

Dahil doon po sa Labor Attorney's Office yung sinasabi nyo, kailangan ng 64 na labor arbiters, 32 legal officers.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004009

Pag nakikita po akong ganyang eksaktong detalye, ang tanong ko, bakit ganun na numero?

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004010

So, kung meron po kayong justification, kung maaari po isumiti sa committee.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004011

Ito po yan, Your Honor. Ibibigay ko na po ngayon yung, meron naman kaming digital file nito, pero marami na po akong sulat-sulat dito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004012

Kung tatanggapin nyo po ito, eh, ibibigay ko po. Wala po ako ditong mga drawing-drawing, Your Honor. Malinis po ito.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004013

Ngayon, yung ano po, yung sa Labor Attorney's Office, ang pagkakalam ko po, yung Public Attorney's Office, yan na po yung mandato eh.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004014

Natulungan yung mga indigent litigants. Hindi po sapat yung trabaho na ginagawa ng pao na kinakailangan po ng Labor Attorney's Office?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004015

Ah, nandun po sa...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004016

Naipasa ko na eh. Nangirapan na akong kabulin si...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004017

Ibibigay na kay Chairman.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004018

Meron po kaming datos doon na yung workload ng PAO ay halos nakatutok sa mga criminal cases sa probinsya.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004019

May mga civil cases din at kakaunti po ang nabibigyan ng konsiderasyon sa mga labor arbiters.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004020

Lalong-lalo na yung mga nakabase po sa Metro Manila at yung mga regional centers natin.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004021

So, meron po ditong justification, yung percentage ng...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004022

trabaho ng Public Attorney's Office patungkol po doon sa kanilang workload.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004023

Na ang bulk po ay yung talagang pampiskal.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004024

Ang workload po ay yung mga pang-RTC.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004025

So, dito po sa arbitration, sa conciliation, ay halos wala po.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004026

Meron pa isa-isa.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004027

Lalong-lalo na po sa pangkaraniwang kasong dinudulog po sa amin.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004028

So, yun po ay...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004029

Yung po ang nagsulong para sa tanggapan na itulak itong mungkahing ito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004030

At nandun po lahat ng data na hindi ko na po masight ngayon kasi napilitan akong iabot na kay Chairman.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004031

Nandun po sa kanya.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004032

Actually, Mr. Secretary, I was instructing the Secretariat na if amenable naman si Rep. Tony Roman

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004033

after the once-a-day copies have been furnished, we'll furnish a copy to Rep. Tony Roman.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004034

And then...

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004035

Kung dalawang programa na gusto nyo na karagdaga na pondo, yung NALJ at at yung Legal Labor Attorney's Office,

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004036

ito po ba magkaugnay?

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004037

Kailangan package deal na magkasama o may ding paghiwalay yan?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004038

Magkahiwalay po yan, but they work together.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004039

Very complimentary po.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004040

Opo, complimentary sila.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004041

And it's very timely, Your Honor, kasi po ngayon darating na 2027,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004042

ang Pilipinas po ang mamumuno ng International Labor Council sa ILO sa Geneva.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004043

So, nais po nating ipakita sa ibang bansa na meron tayong ganitong mga tanggapan

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004044

na talagang tumutugon sa pangangailangan ng ating manggagawa,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004045

including that National Academy for Labor Justice, which is a first.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004046

Marami po tayong mga...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004047

Mga kabataang Pilipino na nag-aaral ng abugasya, first year, second year,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004048

hindi pa nila alam pag sila ay...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004049

Kasi pagkakaiba po sa medical school, first year, second year,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004050

alam mo na kung ikaw ay magiging surgeon kung gusto mong mag-specialize.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004051

So, ito po ay magbubukas ng pinto para sa mga law students na ay maganda pala ang labor justice.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004052

Dito tayo mag-specialize.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004053

O gaya ngayon, pag-graduate mo ng law school, parang general practitioner ka na sa medisina, ganun din.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004054

So, natatangi po ito, hindi sa pagbubuhat ng sariling bangko, kasi itong dalawang ito, first time.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004055

Maraming salamat.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004056

Now to Secretary Benitez.

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004057

May napapansin ko, madalang po ipa nagtatanong sa kanya.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004058

Kaya magtatanong ako sa kanya.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004059

Same question.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004060

Sige, sir.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004061

Yung nakita niyo po yung Neptune for 2027, meron mo bang aspeto doon?

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004062

Na napailing kayo at halos maluha.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004063

Marami rin po.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004064

Ano po yung mga yun?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004065

Siguro, unahin ko na lang.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004066

We made a request for more positions, particularly in the field, to help us roll out and implement our programs with greater efficiency.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004067

We also made a greater request, sir, for capital outlay.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004068

Wala pong capital outlay.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004069

Pero yung talagang naluluha ako, siguro, ay ang pagliit po ng aming scholarship budget.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004070

Which is also how I ended my presentation earlier, with a request that at the very least, in order to ensure that the expansion of the education reform and its implementation in accordance with the NAD plan,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004071

at the very least sana, maging equal sa GAA ng 2026, ang budget po ng test.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004072

Sa 2027.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004073

If you can...

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004074

Notice, ang pinakamalaki pong hiningi namin sa aming, hindi ho kasi wish list yun eh, kagaya ng sinabi ni Kong Jolo kanina,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004075

eh yung wish list ho namin eh, an additional 20 billion na marahil naman eh hindi mabibigay, no.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004076

Nasabi na ho sa amin ni Kong Jila yan.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004077

But the biggest portion, sir, is actually in the universal access to quality tertiary education.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004078

We are requesting an additional 2.4 billion for our diploma programs nationwide,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004079

so that as we expand towards higher level training with greater skill and greater productivity,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004080

ay masuportahan din po namin ng budget namin ang kapipirima lang po na amendment to the UACTA law last week.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004081

So the request is really to make sure that at the very least,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004082

our budget for 2027 is more or less equivalent,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004083

to our 2026, in particular with regards to our scholarship slots,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004084

para ho dumami, imbis na kumonte, ang matulungan ng TESDA in terms of its programs, no, for learning and training.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004085

Pero kung mabigyan niyo po kami ng capital outlay, marami po kami pangangailangan na nakalagay na po dyan.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004086

I would also like to flag to the committee as a former congressman na lang.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004087

Sorry.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004088

Said, marami pong mga past legislation or legislation that has been passed into law

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004089

to create local government training centers under TESDA which has not been funded by the DBM consistently.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004090

So yun lang naman po ang aming mga totohanang wish list na for sure hindi po mabibigay kasi madami pagkahanapan.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004091

But at the very least, sir, an additional...

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004092

An additional 5.3 or 5.4 billion po to make sure that our scholarship budget at least is equivalent to this year.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004093

Para hindi naman ho mag-shrink even as we are doing so well to increase the demand and the awareness, no, of the impact of TECVOC training nationwide.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004094

Binagay niyo po 5.3 billion. Kanina may binagay kayo na 2.4 billion. Medyo naguluhan ako.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004095

Yung 2.4 billion na binagay kayo.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004096

Yung 2.4 billion na binagay kayo kanina. Ito'y parang pagpapatuloy nung sa scholarships, tama po ba?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004097

Ito po ang pagpapatuloy natin sa diploma programs.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004098

So these are the 2 to 3 year higher level NC3 to NC5 programs taught by TESDA or TESDA institutions

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004099

that are being ladderized into bachelor's degrees of CHED.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004100

So as the one education system converges with greater efficiency,

Source

asr-004102

ang prediction ho namin ay it will widen and it will be more expansive.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004103

So to reduce budget at this point might freeze the reforms in track and not be able to get us to implement the NACP plan.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004104

Sir, would it be possible to submit a sort of a breakdown of your additional asks?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004105

Yes, sir.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004106

So it's actually part of the presentation that was handed to the committee this morning.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004107

Okay.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004108

Rep Tony, we already have the breakdown of the...

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004109

When the good secretary presented earlier, it was the climax of his presentation because it was very, very important to the department.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004110

So I will instruct the secretary to furnish you a copy.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004111

The presentation was short and sweet and so the climax passed without my noticing it.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004112

And I don't...

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004113

I don't want the secretary to tear up.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004114

So I'm in support of the increase in budget of TESDA as well as DOLE.

Source

Rep. Antonino B. Roman III

asr-004115

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004116

Maraming salamat, Rep Tony Roman.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Rep. Roberto Nazal

Magandang hapon po sa puong DOLE at TESDA this afternoon.

Rep. Roberto Nazal

Nandito rin po ang aking kaibigan na is kumbatiin.

Ernie Chatzamora.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004123

Magandang hapon.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004124

Good afternoon, dalawang sekretary.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004125

Mr. Chair, before I begin, I would like to congratulate Secretary Francis Tolentino on his appointment to DOLE.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004126

Sekretary, having served in the Senate, you come to DOLE with a deep understanding of legislation, government processes, and the concerns of our workers.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004127

Although you have been with the department for a few months only,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004128

we have already seen some encouraging directions,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004129

particularly your focus on labor justice, assistance to workers, and improving the delivery of DOLE programs.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004130

Marami pong kailangan ayusin sa DOLE,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004131

at marami sa mga problema ang tatanungin namin ngayon ay naabutan lamang ninyo.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004132

Kaya hopeful po kami,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004133

with your experience in the Senate and now your leadership of the department,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004134

I am confident that you can address these long-standing implementation issues.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004135

And make sure that the funds of Congress, that the funds Congress provides actually reach our workers.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004136

We hope to understand where the bottlenecks are, what support DOLE needs,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004137

and how Congress can help make these programs work better for our workers.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004138

So, Mr. Chair, TUPAD is being reduced from 21.28 billion to 11.03 billion.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004139

Target beneficiaries fall from about 1.48 million

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004144

to 672,776.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004145

How much does DOLE need Congress to restore?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004146

And how much additional workers can you serve?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004147

Kung kayo po ang tatanungin, ilan po ba dapat ang tinatarget natin sa isang taon?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004148

Your Honor, kanina po ay nagbigay ng hiling yung aming Undersecretary.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004149

I think that the document would...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004150

Speak for itself kung ilan yung nilalaman noon.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004151

And if I can defer to the good undersecretary.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004152

With the permission of the secretary,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004153

our budget for 2026 is 21 billion

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004154

and that would cater to almost 1 million plus,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004155

almost 1 million to-pat beneficiaries

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004156

to be exact, 932,777.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004157

Kung sa 2027 po, BBM sa NEP po,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004158

meron po kaming 11 billion lang,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004159

ang bawas po yun ng mga 672,000.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004160

Therefore, yung 11 billion po,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004161

mga 300 plus thousand lang po.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004162

So yung nire-request po namin,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004163

Your Honor, is 10.25 billion

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004164

na magdadagdag po sa kabuang 672,776

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004165

para ma-restore po yung kabuang

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004166

almost 1 million po na to-pat beneficiaries.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004167

Additional 10.25 billion po?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004168

Yes, Your Honor.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004169

Ano po ba ang idea?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004170

Well, I mean, do we have an annual target?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004171

Kung ilan ang dapat beneficiaries na

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004172

na dapat binibigyan natin taon-taon?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004173

Taon-taon po kasi, Your Honor,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004174

with the permission of the secretary,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004175

mga million na po ang aming target po.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004176

So depende na po sa number of days na work po,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004177

yung minimum 10 days, maximum of 90.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004178

So yung tentative computation lang po namin

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004179

for that 1 million or 932,000

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004180

is nakapig sa 20 days lang po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004181

What's the total universe target?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004182

Our target is about 1 million po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004183

No, 1 million a year.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004184

Yes, sir.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004185

But in terms of yung gusto natin

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004186

maging beneficiary or matrain every year,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004187

meron po bang total universe na tinitignan?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004188

For that, Your Honor,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004189

I defer to the program manager handling the to-pat,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004190

Asek Amireyas.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004191

Your Honor, if I may intervene.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004192

Marami pong mga...

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004193

Variables na unpredictable.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004194

Halimbawa po, hindi natin alam

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004195

kung ganung katagal itong kabahagat na ito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004196

Hindi naman natin alam noong

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004197

pagupo kay Lumindol sa Gensan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004198

Hindi po natin, hindi naman natin na predict, Your Honor,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004199

na yung RSSI sa Negros

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004200

ay lalawak ng ganun.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004201

Akala ko, contain lang sa Pamplona,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004202

sa Negros Oriental.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004203

So yung mga ganung variables po,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004204

Your Honor,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004205

eh medyo hindi natin ma-predict.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004206

Ang sinasabi po siguro ni Undersecretary

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004207

is we need to have that

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004208

pool of funds

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004209

to be flexible enough

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004210

to respond

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004211

especially to

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004212

to disaster-stricken areas

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004213

at lalong-lalo na yung

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004214

nawala ng trabaho

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004215

na hindi naman kagustuhan

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004216

ng lahat.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004217

For instance, meron pong

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004218

nawala ng trabaho sa Misamis Oriental

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004219

ng pagsasara ng steel plant

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004220

na sinagot po

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004221

iyon ng TUPAD

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004222

dahil nagkaroon ng closure

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004223

yung steel plant

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004224

due to some national security concerns.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004225

Yung mga ganun po ay hindi namin

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004226

ma-predict.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004227

Kung kaya nga po yung aming apila

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004228

ay mabigyan kami ng sapat na

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004229

na

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004230

pondo

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004231

ng hindi po

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004232

na makakatugon

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004233

sa pangangailangan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004234

Sa ngayon po sa umiiral na accounting

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004235

and budgeting rules na itinalagaan ng COA,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004236

ng DBM at ng iba pang mga

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004237

ahensya, Your Honor.

Ilan po ang naging

actual disbursement rate natin

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004244

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004245

2026, yung utilization rate po namin

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004246

is 97%.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004247

Now for the latest po

ngayon is

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

disbursement rate.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004251

87%?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004252

Disbursement rate po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004253

Sek, ah, what, that's for 2026?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004254

Ah, the latest of us of 2026.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004255

And then 97% as of 2020,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004256

for 2025?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004257

Yes, Your Honor, as of 2025, end of 2025.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004258

Ah, Mr. Chair, Sek, ahm,

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004259

para po dun sa kulang na 3%

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004260

tsaka dun sa

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004261

17%,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004262

open na open po ang bagong henerasyon

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004263

para tumulong sa inyo, ha?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004264

Sa pag-disburse.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004265

Ah, anyway, my next question, sir,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004266

is, um, sa DILP,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004267

um, yung DILP is also cut

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004268

by 462 million.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004269

Its 2027 target

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004270

is only 48%

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004271

of livelihood projects still operating

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004272

after 2 years.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004273

Ba't po nagbago ng gano'n?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004274

Ba't bumaba po ng gano'n?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004275

For 2026, the budget of the

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004276

Dole Integrated Livelihood Program

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004277

is 2,689,092,000.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004280

But, ah, for 2027,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004281

we were given

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004282

2,227,092,000.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004284

So, bumaba po siya ng 462

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004285

thousand, ah, thousand,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004286

ah, million, million.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004287

So, ang reference po kasi ng

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004288

DBM dyan pag nagbibigay po

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004289

is yung absorptive capacity.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004290

So, say 2027 po, ang titignan nila

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004291

yung 2025 na utilization rate.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004292

yung 2025 na utilization rate. Pero more or less, sir,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004293

malapit na rin naman po doon.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004294

Pero kung mapagbibigyan po kami ma-restore din yung

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-004295

mas maganda po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004296

Dapat lang po.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004297

Posible po kaya, ah,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004298

Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004299

na mag-pilot tayo ng complete

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004300

livelihood packages

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004301

from established businesses

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004302

such as food carts

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004303

na may equipment na,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004304

initial supplies, training, continuing,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004305

business support,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004306

with DOLE, paying the qualified

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004307

qualified provider

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004308

after verified delivery.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004309

Subject to procurement and auditing rules.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004310

Kung baga, ang sinasabi po natin, may

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004311

established businesses na,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004312

meron na silang

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004313

konsepto, meron na silang sistema,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004314

ituturo na lang, mas madaling

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004315

i-adapt. Tapos kesa sa binibigay

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004316

natin sa kanila yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004317

pera ng walang ano,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004318

ito parang nagkaroon pa sila ng

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004319

training.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004320

Tapos meron na ang sistema na hindi na

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004321

hindi na sila magsastart from scratch.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004322

Is that possible?

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004323

Pwede?

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004324

With the

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004325

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004326

yes sir, that is

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004327

possible po. Kasi yung

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004328

DILP, this is open

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004329

for all, lalo na dun sa mga

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004330

low salaried natin

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004331

that you would like to help.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004332

Kasi para maka-establish din silang negosyo.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004333

And I think this is not the first time that it is

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004334

happening. In fact, in the past,

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004335

may mga labor organizations

last year that we had a

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004350

Pwede ho namin silang matulungan doon.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004351

So we've already

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004352

done pilots with

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004353

different industries.

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

Merong mga

but if there's particular

asr-004357

a pilot that

you're thinking about that

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004359

you can also share, probably

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004360

that can be explored.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004361

In fact, sir...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004362

Ang sinasabi ko po, ma'am, is

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004363

Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004364

is for example, we tie up with

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004365

the Philippine Franchise

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004366

Association, and then meron

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004367

mga established businesses,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004368

and then the beneficiaries

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004369

can choose kung ano yung

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004370

interest nila. Meron

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004371

ng mga sariling sistema ito.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004372

And then, yun na lang ang...

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004373

Okay. May dalawa po tayong

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004374

pinag-uusapan if I

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004375

may elaborate.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004376

One is, yung sinasabi po

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004377

ninyo na livelihood project,

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004378

na ito yung binibigay natin sa kamaramihan.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004379

But for those establishment na pwedeng matulungan to have a business, meron tayong adjustment measures program po that they can avail. I think Usec Ami would like to share something about it.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004380

With the permission of the Secretary, i-elaborate ko lang po yung ating adjustment measures program. Ito po ay for existing establishments na where we could improve their systems, provide technology, technological support, productivity improvement, systems improvement, and then i-improve natin sila para then they can continue with their income generation of the enterprise.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004381

Ano po ito? Mga micro and small enterprises.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004382

So we've had some pilots already and successful enterprises nationwide and we would want to continue this.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004383

Under the DILP?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004384

Hindi po ito. Adjustment measures program.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004385

So this is for a different program? Ang sinasabi ko po for the DILP sana?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004386

A different program under DOLIP din po. But for existing enterprises po ito. Different po ito sa DILP.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004387

Kasama din po dito yung purchases organization.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004388

Equipment. Kasama din siya for existing enterprises.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004389

What I'm saying ma'am is sana ma'am, halimbawa meron tayong urban beneficiaries under the DILP.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004390

Tapos meron parang business matching dun sa tao kung ano yung pwede sa kanila.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004391

So may established system na meron ng, katulad nga ng mga franchise.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004392

Diba parang ang gagawin natin may franchise fair tayo.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004393

So baka we can do a pilot. That's what I'm suggesting.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004394

And if that's possible, yun na nga, baka we can come up with a program.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004395

Tie up with the, let's say the franchise association and then do a pilot.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004396

Anyway, can I just go to TESDA for a while? One question.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-004397

Wrap it up.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004398

Thank you Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004399

Mr. Chair, so DBM's preliminary year-end 2025 report.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004400

Shows TESDA had a 6.74 billion unobligated and 66.5 disbursement rate against obligations.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004401

As of August 2026, rate against obligations.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004402

As of August 2026, 16.77 billion remains unobligated.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004403

So my question Mr. Chair, we referred several schools and courses for scholarship funding.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004404

Not a single one was approved.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004405

Magkano sa mga balancing ito ang scholarship funds at bakit hindi po na-aprubahan ang mga ni-refer namin?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004406

Mr. Chair, I would need to know which schools that you referred to is the first question because there is a process by which allocations for scholarships are put against schools, their absorptive capacity, and the qualifications that they offer specific to an area.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004407

That's the first, that's the first point sir.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004408

The second point sir.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004409

The second is a, we can give you the report.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004410

The scholarship funds today, much of it, Mr. Chair with your indulgence, much of the scholarship funds from 2026 was actually for late release and has just arrived two to three weeks ago and are therefore up and subject for processing.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004411

Although the allocation is in general almost at 82%.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004412

Hindi ko alam kung...

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004413

Good news po yan para sa amin na but I will submit the list again.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004414

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004415

Mr. Chair, kasi ang tanong ko naman doon kung qualified naman yung schools at courses at may available naman na funds, bakit wala na-approve?

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004416

So sabi nyo ba...

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004417

Usually, if it's qualified in accordance with the area prioritization of the qualifications with the absorptive capacities of the school,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004418

then the question becomes how many other schools in that area are in fact serving that same set of qualifications.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004419

Yun po ang usually bottleneck.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004420

So that's very clear. Hindi naman ho siguro dahil ako yung nag-refer.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004421

Hindi naman ho.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004422

Anyway, just to add, kamusta po ba yung enterprise-based programs ninyo and how did we perform this year versus last year?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004423

Siguro now, I'm going to ask.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004424

Didi Ginelli to respond because I responded earlier to the same question and I think the committee is tired of my voice.

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004425

Okay, thank you very much, Sec.

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004426

Okay, maybe just to give some figures to you.

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004427

We're actually measuring the accomplishments and achievements as far as the enterprise-based education and training in terms of enrollment and graduates.

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004428

So right now, for EBIT in particular,

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004429

the total number is around 30,043 with around 19,379 graduates.

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004430

But if we combine that with EBT because this is actually a continuation of the EBT and then we had EBIT when the law was signed in 2024,

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004431

the total number of enrollment is about 79,477 and graduate of about 61,466.

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004432

And we'd like also to inform the body that

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004433

the programs, the one-stop shop, the portal that TESDA is also developing is actually due for launch on the third week of September.

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004434

In that particular program, we're actually looking into digitized program registration.

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004435

So information about qualifications or programs, the enterprises where they can apply are actually in that particular online system.

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004436

And two more.

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004437

Integrators is actually one program that TESDA is looking at as far as the EBIT is concerned

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004438

because we wanted also to onboard micro, small and medium enterprises

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004439

because we know that micro, small and medium enterprises do not have,

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004440

not all of them would have the capability and capacity to run their own training compared with the large enterprises.

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004441

So we're actually also developing, you know, capacitating potential integrators

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Nelly Nita N. Dillera

asr-004442

who can assist the MSMEs.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004443

Thank you for all the information.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004444

I will just request the committee, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004445

to let TESDA to please submit before plenary the complete 2025 year and in latest 2026 reports

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004446

for TWSP, STEP, Tulong Trabaho and all other scholarship programs, allocations, utilization, remaining balances and distribution by region, province, school and course.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004447

Plus the written reasons.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004448

Why our referrals were not approved.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004449

Anyway, just to end, I would like to manifest that right now po sa ating ekonomiya,

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004450

I am surprised na ang babawasan pa ng pondo ay ang TESDA at ang DOLE.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004451

Napaka-importante po na ang pondo nyo ay ma-restore

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004452

at kung ako po ang tatanungin ay dapat po i-increase pa ang pondo ng TESDA at ng DOLE.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004453

So I urge Congress to increase the fund of TESDA and DOLE.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004454

Para sa ating bansa.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004455

For the sake of our country and for the sake of our economy.

Source

Rep. Roberto Nazal

asr-004456

Maraming salamat po.

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004460

Source

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

asr-004461

And first of all, I'd like to congratulate our new Secretary of State,

Source

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

asr-004462

our new Secretary of Labor.

Source

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

asr-004463

One of the best senators and pinak-mabayit din po.

Source

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

asr-004464

And we are very happy to have him now at the DOLE.

Source

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

asr-004465

So my first question is, we are very worried about children and the internet.

Source

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

asr-004466

And especially its relationship po to violence and other issues regarding children's mental health.

Source

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

asr-004467

Can you tell us more about Labor Advisory No. 12?

Source

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

asr-004468

And child influencers.

Source

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

asr-004469

Worse, hindi lang sila nagkoconsume sa internet.

Source

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

asr-004470

E sila pa po yung nagpe-perform sa internet.

Source

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

asr-004471

I'm just only hoping that it is safe.

Source

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

asr-004472

Yung ginagawa po nila ay hindi po exploitation ng children.

Source

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

asr-004473

In fact, by their own parents.

Source

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

asr-004474

Kasi kumikita po ito.

Source

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

asr-004475

Nagulat po ako na yung kaklase daw ng anak ko, so ni grade 9.

Source

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

asr-004476

A makeup influencer na raw.

Source

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

asr-004477

At marami na raw kinikita.

Source

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

asr-004478

So can you let us know what is the DOLE's stand on this?

Source

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

asr-004479

And what are you doing po to protect our children

Source

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

asr-004480

from not only consuming but performing internet activities?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004481

Ang salamat po, Congresswoman.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004482

I-issue lang po namin hindi katagalan yung Advisory No. 12.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004483

At ang nilalaman po nito ay para bigyan din at laman yung protection para sa ating mga kabataan below 15.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004484

Dalawa po ang aspeto nito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004485

Yung nagtatrabaho po na kontrolado ng magulang.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004486

At yung nagtatrabaho po

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004487

At yung nagtatrabaho po kontrolado ng employer.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004488

Sa dalawang branch po ay amin po sinisigurado na ang kabataang Pilipino ay hindi ma-exploit.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004489

Hindi magtatrabaho ng between 10 to 6 ng madaling araw.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004490

At mangangailangan po ng permit kung ito ay nagtatrabaho sa isang employer.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004491

At mangangailangan din po na siguraduhin yung kikitain niya 20% lang ang mapupunta po sa pamilya.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004492

At yung 80% ay mapupunta sa kanyang pag-aaral, sa kanyang well-being, sa kanyang kalusugan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004493

Nang sa ganun po hindi po ma-exploit yung kabataang Pilipino.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004494

Lalawang lalo na yung pumapasok sa dalawang uri po yan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004495

Entertainment yung isa.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004496

At yung isa po ay talagang nagsusuporta doon sa mga advertisements, etc., etc.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004497

Lumalabas sa mga television shows.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004498

At makikita natin pinagahanap buhay na ng maaga.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004499

Uulitin ko po ito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004500

Ang layunin po nito ay tumupad sa napakaraming ILO commitment.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004501

Ng Pilipinas na huwag ma-exploit ang kabataang Pilipino.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004502

Kabilang na rin po dito yung mga nagtatrabaho.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004503

Di umano sa ilang ulat na nagtatrabaho sa minahan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004504

Nagtatrabaho sa palengke ng pinagbubuhat.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004505

Yan po ay hindi natin kinakontinence.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004506

Subalit sa internet ay napakalaki pong puhang ang nangyayari dahil sa bahay lang po ito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004507

Iba po yung nasa internet.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004508

Yes.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004509

So ito pong guidelines na nilabas namin.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004510

Well disseminated na ito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004511

At sana po ay magkaroon ng hindi lamang katuparan yung ninanais ng International Labour Organization.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004512

Para ma-prevent din.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004513

May alam nga ako, two years old pa lang eh.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004514

Lumalabas na sa Facebook at sa ibang platforms.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004515

So yun po yung nilalaman.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004516

And we can provide your honor a copy of that Labor Advisory Number 12.

Source

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

asr-004517

I would like to congratulate you po on this groundbreaking advisory.

Source

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

asr-004518

Lalo na po bago-bago pa lang pero nakagawa na po.

Source

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

asr-004519

My question is, how are you enforcing this?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004520

Unang-una po yung wide dissemination ng Labor Advisory.

Source

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

asr-004521

Hindi.

Source

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

asr-004522

Nakontak niyo po ba yung matataasang views sa FB?

Source

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

asr-004523

I don't know.

Source

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

asr-004524

Opo.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004525

Sa ngayon po, dahil bago-bago pa lang po yan,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004526

yung aming po ang Bureau of Local Employment ang nakatalagang mag-monitor niyan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004527

Lalong-lalo na yung nasa entertainment industry.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004528

Ang sinasabi ko po dito, yung lumalabas sa mga TV shows.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004529

Lahat po yan ay namamonitor.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004530

So ito pong iba, siguro po yung BLE namin ay sa number of followers.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004531

Merong gustong idagdag si Secreyes?

Source

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

asr-004532

Can you share any data like how many child influencers na po ang nasa internet?

Source

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

asr-004533

And what is the average age?

Source

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

asr-004534

Kasi mga infants pa yung iba eh.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004535

If I may po, ma'am.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004536

Well, yung tanong niyo po pa dina, what do we do?

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004537

Naglabas na po si Sec ng Labor Advisory 12 na okay na po yun.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004538

But of course, the monitoring is one of the challenges.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004539

But meron din ho kaming makabata hotline na tinatawag.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004540

Na pwede ho kasing mag-report doon sa hotline na yun yung ating mga kababayan.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004541

But meron din ho mga reports galing din ho sa ating mga regional offices.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004542

Nagko-conduct po sila ng mga validation report at saka interview sa blogger at saka doon sa parents nung bata.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004543

At tinitingnan din ho yan kung meron silang working child permit.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004544

Well, yung katotohanan po ma'am.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004545

Hindi naman lahat ho kasi ay nakakaalam na kailangan pala nila kumuha ng working child permit.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004546

Kaya yung labor advisory will serve as a guidance for them na kahit magulang,

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004547

kahit na anong establishments na pwedeng gusto kumuha ng bata at magtrabaho sa bata,

Source

sisiguraduhin nilang natutupad nila yung mga requirements.

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004549

Unang-una, hindi ho kailangan na mapabayaan yung well-being of children.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004550

Kahit they are being engaged in this kind of work,

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004551

at meron silang work, kakondisyon ho yun doon sa working child permit.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004552

Kailangan ng bata nakakapag-aral.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004553

Hindi siya full time na nagtatrabaho.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004554

At meron din po siyang oras para siya ay makapaglaro.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004555

So ang mga regional offices po natin ma'am, ang nagmamonitor po nito.

Source

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

asr-004556

Ma'am, sana po yung mga kumpanya din po that actually pay for their ads,

Source

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

asr-004557

they should not be allowed to employ po kids na wala pong permit and they should be fined.

Source

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

asr-004558

Kasi sila po ang kumikita na malaki, yung mga corporations.

Source

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

asr-004559

Kasama po ba yun sa advisory? I'm sorry, I didn't see a copy but I'm very interested.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004560

Even before po ng advisory, may batas na po kasi tayo diyan, as you know very well.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004561

So para po doon sa mga private companies sa formal sector,

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004562

minomonitor po yan ng mga regional offices natin through our labor inspection program.

Source

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

asr-004563

Yes, ma'am. I am not referring to children like singing and dancing on stage.

Source

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

asr-004564

But as you know,

Source

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

asr-004565

So, P50,000 na po per mention lang po.

Source

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

asr-004566

And these are not even for famous influencers.

Source

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

asr-004567

So, for the kids po, they can earn P100,000, P200,000 per post.

Source

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

asr-004568

So, sana po yung mga kumpanya would also be aware that this is a form of child labor.

Source

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

asr-004569

Sometimes we just think, andun lang sa bahay, pinifilm ni mommy, pero hindi po, trabaho yun.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004570

Opo, tama po kayo doon.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004571

Kaya nga po, pagdating naman sa mga kumpanya, ma'am,

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004572

pag pumunta ang ating labor inspector, isa yan sa tinitingnan din po nila.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004573

Plus yung monitoring po natin sa mga social media, kasama din po yun.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-004574

But marami pong salamat doon sa inyong recommendation.

Source

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

asr-004575

Thank you so much. Ma'am, maalaking bagay po yan.

Source

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

asr-004576

Thank you so much also for your attention to this sec, and congratulations.

Source

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

asr-004577

I would like to react po doon sa tupad po na sinabing ayuda.

Source

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

asr-004578

Hindi po ayuda yung tupad kasi nagtatrabaho kayo.

Source

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

asr-004579

So, this is a form of short-term employment.

Source

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

asr-004580

So, ililinaw ko lang po na hopefully na ilinaw nyo rin po that wala pong ayuda included.

Source

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

asr-004581

Kasi our concept of ayuda is bibigyan ka lang ng pera.

Source

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

asr-004582

But that is not the concept po.

Source

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

asr-004583

And I think that is not what we are thinking of when we do tupad.

Source

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

asr-004584

So, sana po, siguro what we need to strengthen po sa tupad is the monitoring.

Source

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

asr-004585

Kasi kung hindi naman po nababantayan yung mga tao, talagang upo na lang po.

Source

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

asr-004586

And I would suggest that the percentage of the tupad be used to monitor mismo.

Source

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

asr-004587

Or to hire monitors.

Source

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

asr-004588

Or to get independent monitors.

Source

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

asr-004589

And then, kailangan po malinaw yung deliverables.

Source

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

asr-004590

Ano bang gagawin nila?

Source

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

asr-004591

And then, finally, you might also want to collab po.

Source

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

asr-004592

Sa amin po, yung GIP namin, they work in schools as assistant teachers for the teachers.

Source

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

asr-004593

Assistant admin for those who are not, these are new graduates.

Source

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

asr-004594

So, assistant admin po sa mga hindi BS education.

Source

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

asr-004595

Tapos may nagtanong po.

Source

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

asr-004596

Yung mga criminology graduates, ano daw ang gagawin nila sa school?

Source

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

asr-004597

Naisip po na isang principal namin, sila po yung magbubukas ng mga bag na mga bata.

Source

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

asr-004598

So, that was supposed to be a joke.

Source

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

asr-004599

So, ang nagmamonitor po sa kanila, yung DepEd.

Source

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

asr-004600

So, may monitor na hindi po sila.

Source

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

asr-004601

So, you need to have a monitoring.

Source

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

asr-004602

So, kailangan po talaga yan.

Source

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

asr-004603

And then, I would like to share some.

Source

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

asr-004604

Pwede po bang?

Source

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

asr-004605

If you could share po.

Source

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

asr-004606

So, if you might want to publish po yung mga ginagawa ng mga tao sa Tupad para makita po nila.

Source

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

asr-004607

Para malaman.

Source

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

asr-004608

I'd like to, meron po kaming gulayan ni Nana.

Source

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

asr-004609

If you have a picture po, that would be very good.

Source

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

asr-004610

I think I have a photo.

Source

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

asr-004611

Ayan po.

Source

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

asr-004612

Nagtatanim po yung mga mommies.

Source

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

asr-004613

And moving forward, yan po yung tinanim nila.

Source

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

asr-004614

This is not planting lang.

Source

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

asr-004615

This is on the concept of the first 1,000 days.

Source

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

asr-004616

This is a collab po between the DOH.

Source

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

asr-004617

At the DA and the DOLE.

Source

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

asr-004618

So, the DOLE po yung nagbabayad.

Source

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

asr-004619

The DOH po, you need to learn about breastfeeding.

Source

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

asr-004620

Tapos yung DA po, food security.

Source

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

asr-004621

So, ang nagmamonitor naman po doon.

Source

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

asr-004622

Nakikita naman po pag wala kayong gulay na ma-produce, talagang may problema.

Source

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

asr-004623

And then lastly, I also wanted to share yung coastal clean up po namin.

Source

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

asr-004624

Ito po yung naglinis ng estero sa lugar po namin.

Source

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

asr-004625

This is again, a form of natural flood control.

Source

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

asr-004626

Tapos ang nagmonitor naman po yung estero rangers po ng DNR.

Source

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

asr-004627

So, nabenta po sila.

Source

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

asr-004628

So, there has been monitoring.

Source

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

asr-004629

So, I would like to personally thank Secretary for your assistance po.

Source

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

asr-004630

And lastly, maraming salamat.

Source

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

asr-004631

So, maybe we could have a Tupad Conference para i-award nyo po yung pinaka-innovative.

Source

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

asr-004632

Hindi, yung natutuwa po kayo so that others could learn po also.

Source

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

asr-004633

And kailangan po talaga.

Source

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

asr-004634

Malaman natin kung ano yung magaganda and that we could emulate them parang ganun po.

Source

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

asr-004635

So, magra-round 2 na lang po ako para sa test.

Source

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

asr-004636

Babalik pa ako para sa inyo.

Source

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

asr-004637

So, thank you so much po.

Source

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

asr-004638

I would like to commend our Secretary.

Source

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

asr-004639

And of course, he cannot do it naman po by himself.

Source

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

asr-004640

So, I would like to publicly thank R.D. Geraldine Tolentino at yung DOLE team namin na napakasipag po talaga.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004641

Panlilio.

Source

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

asr-004642

Yes, sorry.

Source

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

asr-004643

Panlilio.

Source

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

asr-004644

Ma'am Geraldine Panlilio, our Region 3 po na tumulong po sa amin to find innovative ways to do Tupad.

Source

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

asr-004645

And baka naman you might consider also rebranding.

Source

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

asr-004646

Kasi, hindi kasi when people, because of the bad connotation that happened po before,

Source

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

asr-004647

which I know you have been working very hard for para po mapalitan yung concept nga po ng ayuda.

Source

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

asr-004648

You might think of rebranding the Tupad.

Source

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

asr-004649

Kasi once people see the Tupad, nagagalit po yung iba.

Source

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

asr-004650

Kasi hindi sila pinili.

Source

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

asr-004651

Hindi, ganun talaga eh.

Source

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

asr-004652

So, you may consider that also.

Source

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

asr-004653

So, yung sa amin, yung first 1,000 days, yung mga mamis po doon, yun ang mga nanganak from 0 to 6 months pa lamang.

Source

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

asr-004654

So, we are, nagmimenos din po kami sa child malnutrition.

Source

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

asr-004655

So, marami hong nagtatanong sa akin,

Source

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

asr-004656

Ma'am, bakit hindi kami napili?

Source

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

asr-004657

So, sabi ko, mga nakamuna.

Source

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

asr-004658

Hindi, kinuha ko talaga lahat na nanganak.

Source

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

asr-004659

So, ngayon, marami naman hong nagpapabunti.

Source

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

asr-004660

So, unfortunately, nangyayari din po yun.

Source

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

asr-004661

So, thank you so much, Sec, and sa Dole family.

Source

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

asr-004662

Thank you so much.

Source

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

asr-004663

And sana po, mas marami pa po tayong matulungan.

Source

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

asr-004664

And tama po kayo, we need to be flexible to the times din po.

Source

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

asr-004665

Kasi ang dami pong nangyayaring disasters.

Source

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

asr-004666

So, maraming salamat po.

Source

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

asr-004667

And more power po sa Dole.

Source

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

asr-004668

And babalik po ako for the test.

Source

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

asr-004669

Thank you so much.

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004670

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004671

Ngayon, may president na rin tayo.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004672

Hindi ko pa nagagawa yun yung ano.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004673

Kaya lang, mabuntis muna.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004674

Before I continue,

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004675

Before I continue, I'd like to, the chair wishes to acknowledge Rep. Renee Louise Co.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004676

And we move along to the minority.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004677

I may call on to Rep. Iris Montes.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004678

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004679

Magandang hapon po sa ating lahat.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004680

The concern raised by Congresswoman Anna York Bondok is actually

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004681

one of my concerns also.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004682

In fact, last budget hearing, I already raised that to the Dole.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004683

And I am glad, ibida ko na lang po sa Region 4A,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004684

meron ng mga pagbabagong ginawa sa TUPAD.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004685

And like Congresswoman Anna York, meron din po sa amin yung gulayan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004686

We do that and we are piloting the 31 days po na TUPAD program.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004687

Hindi lang po 7 days, 10 days, kundi 31 days.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004688

Para to ensure,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004689

na yung inumpisahan, makikita yung resulta at the end.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004690

And they committed na tatapusin, kahit wala na po silang sweldo,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004691

yung aming mga kababaihan, na ipagpapatuloy po

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004692

yung community gardening and planting po nila.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004693

We also did coastal cleanup.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004694

And ngayon po sa Region 4A, meron po silang geo-tagging na po ng TUPAD.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004695

So nakikita in real time kung mga nagtatrabaho po ba yung mga,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004696

yung sa TUPAD.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004697

Pero may mga challenges kasi there are areas na wala pong signal.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004698

So walang geo-tagging.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004699

But I commend the DOLE for listening na magkaroon ng pagbabago at reform

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004700

sa pag-implement ng TUPAD.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004701

Moving on po, yung question ko po talagang ito.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004702

It's often said that our human resource, our people,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004703

is our most important human resource.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004704

But today, we are confronted po with a sad news.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004705

A few hours ago, it's all over the news,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004706

that our unemployment for July has risen to 6% from 4.9,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004707

translating to about 314 Filipinos who are out of jobs.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004708

3 million Filipinos.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004709

Our labor force participation rate has also,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004710

has also dipped to 63.6 from 65.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004711

And then we have a rising unemployment rate.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004712

So we are in a very trying times and challenging times.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004713

So I understand.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004714

Even the DEPDEP admitted that we have to scale up our efforts

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004715

to create more jobs and quality jobs at that.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004716

But the DOLE has also said that it will intensify its efforts.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004717

Given po, Mr. Secretary, ng budget na meron tayo,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004718

paano po natin actually may intensify yung efforts natin?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004719

Especially po, sa figure na ito po yata,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004720

yung mga youth dyan, yung mga bagong graduates,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004721

hindi daw nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na makasali

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004722

kasi sa labor force, kasi walang available na trabaho.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004723

So how do we plan?

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004724

Given our budget,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004725

how do we scale up employment, especially for the youth?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004726

Tama po kayo, Your Honor.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004727

Medyo hindi maganda yung lumabas ngayon na labor force survey.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004728

Tumaas.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004729

Nag-decline yung employment rate from 94% to 94.7% in July.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004730

Unemployment rate increased to 6% from 5.3.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004731

So yung unemployed persons rose from 551,000 year-on-year

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004732

from 2.59 million to 3.14 million.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004733

Ito po, mga katabi ko, Your Honor,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004734

mamaya siguro para makasagot na si Tesla Secretary,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004735

mapapaliwanag niya yung ginagawa po doon sa Tesla Skills Passport

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004736

na inulunsad ngayong taon na to.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004737

Ganon din po yung aming nilagdaan, nakaalaman tungo sa kabuhayan.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004738

Ang tinutukoy ko po rito,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004739

sinasabi nyo kasi, bumaba yung amin.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004740

Bumaba rin yung kanila.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004741

Pero pag kami nagsanib po,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004742

merong kaukulang risulta siguro na pwedeng asahan yung Dole-Tesda convergence.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004743

So papaliwanag po yan ni Secretary Kiko mamaya.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004744

But let me ask Usec Torres to give a more detailed quantified analysis

of what really came out of that LFS, that survey today.

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004746

Maraming salamat po, Secretary, Your Honor.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004747

Magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004748

Napaka-importante pong question kasi nga,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004749

we're concerned na tumaas yung ating unemployment rate.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004750

At marami pong causes at unang-una nga nabanggit po nyo yung ating kabataan.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004751

Ang nangyari po ay na-increase yung new entrance sa labor market.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004752

And if you recall, yung ating gross domestic product,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004753

nag-grow lang ang economy sa 2.3%.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004754

So dahil mabagal yung growth, mabagal din yung industry,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004755

hindi po nakakatch up yung ating employment.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004756

So bumagal din.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004757

Kaya dumami po yung unemployed na youth.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004758

Kaya po napaka-importante na tingnan po natin to,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004759

kung sino yung mga youth, saan sila located,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004760

at kung saan malaki yung job losses.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004761

Na-identify po namin yung mga job losses kasama dyan po ang agriculture,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004762

manufacturing.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004763

Kung saan natin dapat i-enhance yung employment.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004764

Saka yung ating mga youth para sa ating, ano,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004765

to find out kung saan sila pwede ma-employ.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004766

I-link po yung ating employment, school to employment transition,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004767

yung po yung in-emphasize nga po ni Secretary Tolentino,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004768

na-enhance po natin yung transition from school to work ng ating mga kabataan.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004769

Dumami po kasi yung ating graduates, kaya talagang kailangan natin i-catch up yan.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004770

At ang isa pong ating kailangang i-intensify,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004771

yung ating youth employability program.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004772

Nabanggit ko na po earlier, napaka-useful yung ating government internship program,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004773

na kung saan binibigyan natin pagkakataon yung ating mga youth na ma-employ sa ating government service

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004774

and to have careers in government service,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004775

yung ating special program for the employment of students,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004776

at saka po yung ating jobs.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004777

At yung ating job start na napaka-famous po sa ating mga mga kabataan.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004778

Yung isa po ay yung ating i-intensify yung ating support through our employment facilitation

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004779

kasi kailangan silang mag-guide kung saan talaga yung employment and vacancies.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004780

Maraming po tayong occupations na hard to fill and emerging at kailangan natin i-guide sila.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004781

Dun po sa ating two frameworks, existing frameworks ay Trabajo Para sa Bayan Plan,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004782

and labor and employment plan.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004783

Naka-identify po tayo ng mga key growth centers nationwide at kung saan malaki yung employment

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004784

at dun po natin kailangan i-guide from education, our one education which is DepEd, TESDA, and CHED

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004785

to work together to guide them for employment.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004786

So yun po yung ating ginagawa sa DOLE.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004787

Si Sec. Tolentino po will...

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004788

Ay, ay, ay, Sec. Benitez will...

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004789

Give you details on kailangan po rin natin yung upskilling and reskilling and also our internship apprenticeship program.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004790

Sige po.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004791

Siguro unahin ko na lang that I will echo you Sec. Torres' position or statement

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004792

that the slowdown in the macroeconomic of the country has also made itself felt in the employment figures.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004793

And so what it really will require is to intensify two things.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004794

Actually three things na na-mention na rin.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004795

The first is obviously matching the job openings to the people that might be looking for a job.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004796

Sa area-based demand-driven po namin, malinaw po na meron pong more job openings, no?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004797

In fact, then we have unemployed Filipinos, which really suggests that the job openings that DOLE itself actually puts together

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004798

in the peso, in the public employment service offices,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004799

that information doesn't reach the right people who might be the right fit for those jobs.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004800

So anything that we can do to improve that and intensify

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004801

that link, the faster we can address unemployment, at least in terms of employment per se.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004802

The second is, of course, nabanggit rin ni Yusek Torres, is the job skills mismatching with regards to DepEd, TESDA, and CHED

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004803

to make sure that our youth actually have the right skills for the kind of jobs that are available to them.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004804

So, nandyan nga ang JobStart, meron pong fieldjobs.net, at ang nabanggit po ni Secretary Tolentino kanina is that TESDA put together the skills passport

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004805

precisely to provide a digital platform to help create these linkages and address information asymmetry para at least hindi po information ang kulang.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004806

So that JobStart, fieldjobs.net, and so on.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004807

Our...

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004808

At the least, TVET graduates can have access online in real time to the job openings that are available.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004809

These are all being designed to make sure that our supply and our demand meet together.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004810

So, ang ano na lang dyan, ma'am, is how effectively, how intensively, no, both Dole and TESDA can in fact roll out this program with the kind of urgency that we need.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004811

Sana naman po.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004814

The other piece that should be clear is that we need to make sure that demand side is commensurate.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004815

So, Bureau of Investment naman po yan because we need to make sure that industry opens up and has as much job openings that are of decent work

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004816

and of the decent scale of quality of salaries and so on, that again, bahagi po yan sa macroeconomic slowdown ng...

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004817

ng country.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004818

So, kanina, nagtanong po si kong Robert tungkol po sa area-based demand-driven approach ng prioritization ng TESDA.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004819

No, what we try to do is to prioritize at least government funds to those sectors that have the most demand or most emerging job openings.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004820

So, nandyan po, kagaya ng kanina pang pinag-uusapan ng ICT, ang AI, nandyan po ang actually maritime tourism and services.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004821

No, industry.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004822

Nandyan po ang semiconductors and advanced manufacturing.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004823

All of these are sectors that are being prioritized because we know that the jobs are actually available

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-004824

and we need to make sure that our workforce is appropriately skilled for the jobs that actually exist.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004825

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004826

A while ago, I was browsing through the website of the DBM and isa po doon sa nakita ko,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004827

yung 2027.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004828

budget priorities nila.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004829

Number one pa rin is human capital development.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004830

And nakalagay po doon, foster the dynamic, inclusive, and responsive labor market while addressing digital upskilling and reskilling initiatives under the Trabajo para sa Bayan Plan 2025-2034.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004831

Exactly po, magkano ang ibinigay ng DBM po sa inyo for this?

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004832

For this year po, 3 million pesos.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004833

So, ito po yung budget po para to implement the Trabajo para sa Bayan Plan.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004834

Yung development po ng plan is it's a joint venture of DOL, DTI, and DepDev.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004835

At ngayon po ay we're rolling out the plan together with DepDev.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-004836

But for this year, we receive 3 million pesos.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004837

Maraming salamat po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004838

Kaya ako po naitanong yan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004839

Kasi hindi ko na po alam kung maniniwala ba ako dito.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004840

Kasi nakalagay din dito sa human capital development yung aral ng DepEd.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004841

Pero wala din pong pondo yung aral.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004842

So, I think this is a concern that I have to raise with DBM.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004843

Gusto ko lang pong malaman sa inyo first hand kung talaga bang seryoso po ito kaya ako po naitanong.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004844

Anyway po, I still have a lot of questions to ask.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004845

Pero hindi ko na po itatanong.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004846

Let me just siguro po manifest that naiintindihan ko po ang kalagayan natin.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004847

Ang challenge na meron sa atin sa panahon ngayon lalo po sa inyo sa DOLE at sa TESDA.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004848

Kaya po, nandiyan dyan po yung unemployment na tumataas.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004849

Couple that, add to that yung global uncertainties.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004850

And of course, the urgent need to protect our workers both here and abroad.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004851

Kaya kami po sa kababaihan, kabalikatan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004852

Para sa kapakanan at kaunlaran ng bayan or 4K, ay nag-i-extend po sa inyo ng wholehearted support.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004853

Para maipagpatuloy po ninyo ang vital mission ninyo to safeguard labor rights and creating opportunities for our people.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004854

Especially po sa ating mga kababaihan.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004855

So, lalo na po ngayon, Mr. Chair, tapusin ko na lamang po itong Mexico Manifestation.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004856

At the same time, yung aming pong support comes with it a call that every peso entrusted to DOLE must be spent wisely, transparently, and strategically.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004857

The Filipino workforce is our nation's greatest asset and our most valuable export.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004858

Kaya tinihiling po natin sa DOLE na lalo pang pagbutihin ang kanilang mga programa upang ang ating mga manggagawa ay maging mas handa,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004859

mas protectado, at maging mas competitive po.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004860

Sa harap ng pandaigdigang hamon.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004861

In these difficult times, we stand with DOLE, but we also challenge it to do better, to rise higher,

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004862

and to ensure that the 2027 budget truly translates into jobs, dignity, and hope for millions of Filipino workers.

Source

Rep. Iris Marie Demesa Montes

asr-004863

Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair. Maraming salamat po, Secretary Tolentino, Secretary Benitez, and to the whole DOLE family.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-004864

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

Tawag ko si Secretary Tol, Secretary Kiko.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004873

Mr. Chair, may I make a brief manifestation regarding the strict enforcement of our occupational safety and health standards,

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004874

being a technical man, being an engineer.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004875

Particularly contained in the DOLE.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004876

Department Order No. 13, Series of 1998.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004877

Naalala mo, Secretary Tol, you were then Mayor of Kapanon.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004878

I was the Regional Director of Saudi Tagalog during that time.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004879

Nung in-issue tong Department Order, pinaresearch ko, hindi na babago po ito eh.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004880

28 years ago.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004881

At sana, there are instances that work-related accidents happen in some ongoing...

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004882

construction works, which I think deserve our serious attention, Secretary.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004883

Mr. Chair, I take note on the observation of the Good Secretary that DOLE must undertake thorough inspection

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004884

to ensure the compliance to this occupational safety and health standards.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004885

So mga aksidente na nangyayari ito pag ikot yung Secretary dahil sa hindi lang pag-comply sa occupational safety

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004886

saka yung health standards.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004887

Karaming aksidente.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004888

Sa katunayan, may dala akong records dito.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004889

Mga aksidente nangyayari, sayang mga buhay na mga nawala at saka yung mga aksidente na hindi na pwedeng magtrabaho ngayon.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004890

Mr. Chair, do you have enough personnel to undertake these inspections?

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004891

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004892

Amin po natin, Your Honor, kagaya po na nabanggit ko kanina, talagang kulang.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004893

Yung 1,210 na pangangailangan ng Labor Inspectorate ay alos 700.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004894

700 pa lang na pupunuan dahil ito po ay umi-examine pa, pumukuhan na para mag-qualify.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004895

Pero kahit mapuno po yung 1,210, hindi po sapat na tugunan, lalong-lalo na sa Region 3 na magkaroon ng inspeksyon.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004896

Sa Region 3 po, sinabi ko kanina na merong 7,000 establishments na dapat inspeksyonin ng 38 na katao.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004897

Ang hili-city lang yata po yun?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004898

Hindi po, sa buong Region 3 na po yun.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004899

Oo po. Kasama po kasi, Your Honor, ang government projects, hindi lamang private institutions.

Source

Rep. Salvador A. Pleyto

asr-004900

37 lang yata yung inspectorate team nyo doon eh.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004901

Kulang na nga na siya. Dati 38 to siguro nag-retire na, Your Honor.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004902

So kulang po talaga.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004903

Nung araw po, Your Honor, meron tinatawag na social inspectors.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004904

Yung social inspectors po, ito yung galing sa mga private NGOs na binibigyan ng kaunting,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004905

ng kaunting poder.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004906

Pero sa pananaw ko po ngayon, baka po bawal kasi yung inspector, yung katungkulan na mag-inspeksyon ayon sa Article 128, yung visitorial power ay delegated po ng batas sa akin. Hindi na po pwedeng i-delegate pa uli yun sa dalawang suson. Delegated powers can no longer be delegated. So pwede po sila mag-observe kung tama po yung ginagawa ng mga

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-004907

inspectors.

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

Mr. Chair,

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005111

in our discussions

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005112

with not only workers but even

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

yung mga companies herein, lalo na po sa

If they're

asr-005125

referring po sa BOI's

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005126

incentive, investor's

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005128

asr-005129

na incentive. But

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005130

yes, but

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005131

ito hong ating inputs sa

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005133

will form part yung kanilang

po and services

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005138

Sa dati po kasing guidelines, this is

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005139

supposedly collaboration with

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005140

DALE and BOI.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005141

Doon sa compliance

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005142

program, clear na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005143

kung may non-compliance

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005144

ay meron po itong kaakibat

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005145

na loss of benefit.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005146

So now po,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005147

meron po bang framework

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005148

na kino-consider

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005149

or pino-forward yung DALE with BOI

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005150

na kung may finding sila na ganito

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005151

and sinubmit po nila,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005152

ano pong kaakibat na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005153

loss of benefit nito, or kung may

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005154

incentive man, meron po

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005155

bang ganong certification na nilalabas

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005156

yung DALE or what?

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005156-split-2

Wala po kaming specific

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005157

na certification, but

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005158

the approach po kasi is more of

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005159

developmental. If we can

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005160

help them and assist them to be

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005161

more compliant, yun ho yung ating

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005162

track. And then we also monitor

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005163

yung mga violations nila

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005164

and we see to it na

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005165

magiging, there will be

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005166

compliance after the correction

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005167

period. And we

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005168

will also provide po sa inyo yung

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005169

mga TAP GLS and OSH

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005170

violations based on our

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005171

inspections.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005172

And ito,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005173

curious na lang ako,

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005174

meron po bang mga

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005175

companies na

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005176

nawalan po ng tax incentives

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

under sa

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005178

BOI Omnibus Investment

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005179

Code dahil may finding yung

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005180

DALE na may labor

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005181

law or standard violation sila?

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005182

Right now, ma, we don't have

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005183

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

Mr. Chair, hingin ko na lang po yung

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005186

information that the

reason naman po why we're asking these questions,

asr-005190

Mr. Chair, sa

nagdaang mga taon, we've flagged

of companies

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

located in these ecozones.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005195

And this

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005196

includes, for example, kung nagkaroon

ng earthquake,

In TESDA,

asr-005245

ma'am, we are implementing this

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Galo B. Glino III

asr-005246

through different modalities,

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Galo B. Glino III

asr-005247

delivery modalities.

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Galo B. Glino III

asr-005248

The first one being

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Galo B. Glino III

asr-005249

enterprise-based training.

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Galo B. Glino III

asr-005250

So, for

TESDA Deputy Director General Galo B. Glino III

asr-005251

2026,

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Galo B. Glino III

asr-005252

we have

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Galo B. Glino III

asr-005253

allocated funding for

TESDA Deputy Director General Galo B. Glino III

asr-005254

10,000 slots

TESDA Deputy Director General Galo B. Glino III

asr-005255

Source

TESDA Deputy Director General Galo B. Glino III

asr-005258

commitment and the effort

TESDA Deputy Director General Galo B. Glino III

is to deliver this through

such as STI, we have

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005275

Mr. Chair.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005276

Mr. Chair, actually, it's really

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005277

dependent primarily on the employability

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005278

but most of the IBPAP

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005279

request is actually for upskilling.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005280

So, it really comes from the design

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005281

of the micro-credentials.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005282

So, because it's done in conjunction

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005283

with IBPAP and

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005284

its needs,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005285

they define for us

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005286

what kind of upskilling

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005287

their employees need in order to

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005288

make sure that they are not disrupted by

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005289

the AI that's coming.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005290

So, yun ho ang pinaka

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005291

at this point, ang pinaka

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005292

measure namin.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005293

So, it's the design of the

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005294

training plan that's done

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005295

in conjunction with

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005296

IBPAP for enterprise-based

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005297

education. For the micro-credentials

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005298

naman, we also

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005299

fund it from LEAP

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005300

which is the other side of the

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005301

TESDA program and that

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005302

is done through the

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005303

employment rates

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005304

which tend to be quite high

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005305

and regardless of whether

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005306

or not the trainees are actually entering

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005307

because we're

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

makita kung saan po napunta yung 740

asr-005333

million from last year kung ito

hindi pa. Pero we're looking forward

Dahil may reports tayong nakukuha

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005340

ng upskilling training habang sila

po ay employed ay

balin na bigyan lang sila ng

tapos paano

na papabahagi at ano yung

asr-005366

adjustments doon

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005367

sa kung anong pagtingin sa AI.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005368

They're rolling it back again na may workers

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005369

na ulit na iniintroduce kasi

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005370

dinownsize naman nila ulit yung

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005371

AI. So, Mr. Chair, we'd like

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005372

to know yung developments

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005373

ng TESDA, paano po ito

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005374

sinasalubong and even yung accomplishment

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005375

report po ng

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005376

project UNLAD.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005377

Mr. Chair, just a

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005378

clarification.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005379

Two things lang, Kong.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005380

The first is project UNLAD is a joint

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005381

project with the ICT.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005382

So, some of that funds

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005383

doesn't come from TESDA but actually

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005384

comes from the ICT. Their

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005385

update reports will be slightly

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005386

different from ours.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005387

So, of the

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005388

740

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005389

actually, originally,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005390

around 500 million belongs to

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005391

TESDA. So, we will give you, ma'am, an

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005392

updated report on the rollout

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005393

of that 500 million.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005394

Second lang, clarification,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005395

is the update report

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005396

to also contain the different

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005397

modalities of the way in

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005398

which the micro-credentialing training

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005399

is actually being conducted

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005400

as well as the certification and

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005401

assessment rates of success

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005402

at the end. Just to clarify.

Source

Rep. Renee Louise M. Co

asr-005403

Yes, if that can also be included, Mr. Chair.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-005404

sa part ng monitoring,

So, based po sa records,

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005468

and dito na rin po sa impact evaluation

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005469

of our livelihood projects,

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005470

itong 2025,

no,

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005472

ang ating operational

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

ay nasa more than 54%.

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005474

So,

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005481

naman po sa mga group projects,

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005482

based din sa impact

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005483

evaluation, mas mataas

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005484

po yung success rate

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005485

natin. So, nasa

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005486

more than 83%.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005487

And this is true with

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005488

the previous years.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005489

With the previous year's records. So kaya ang ginagawa po natin ngayon, we encourage yung mga group projects kasi ito yung nakita sa impact evaluation na may chance na mas maging successful and continue to be operational.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005490

But we understand that we don't stop providing them with initial support. Kaya tuloy-tuloy din ho yung ating technical assistance sa kanila, monitoring, and in convergence with other departments like DOST, DTI, and our TESDA, sinusuportahan mo natin sila kung ano yung need nila.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005491

The number may not be that high. Kaya nakikita natin na we should not really be...

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005492

leaving it to them alone. So tuloy-tuloy po yung supportan natin.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005493

And we're using this result of the impact evaluation for our projects in 2026 and the succeeding years.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005494

So kaya yung aming mga regional offices, instead of focusing on individual livelihood projects, ilang percent? I think it's 30% of this project.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005495

We devote to group projects. Since we have introduced this last year, unuunti-unti po namin nataasan yung group.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005496

And then we're also implementing the graduation approach na darating yung time, ibig sabihin po na medyo self-sufficient na sila.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-005497

But until such time that happens, we will not be leaving them behind. So yung hand-holding will continue po in collaboration with other partner agencies.

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

under the convergence program on livelihood.

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-005499

Kasi Mr. Chair, kasi may programang kayo doon na namimigay kayo ng mga bangka.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-005500

So individual namimigay kayo. So may proposal tayo na kung pupwede siguro kasi yung malilit lang kasi yun.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-005501

Diyan lang yan sa malapit lang. So sa ngayon kasi mas kailangan natin yung doon na kasi ang isda natin.

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-005502

Nasa ano na?

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-005503

Nasa deep sea na eh. So siguro baka pwede nga yung mga malalaki naman at saka by, sabihin nyo nga, by group, by association po.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-005504

Lalo yung mga PCR po, association. Yung kasi ang medyo mas maganda na mabigyan kaysa yung individual doon natin makikita.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-005505

Kasi doon po sa amin, alam nyo, marami kaming mga PCR po, farmers, alam nyo naman yung mga informal workers natin,

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-005506

vulnerable sa paggawalan ng kita.

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-005507

So sa tuwing may bagyo, masamang panahon, talagang wala eh. Medyo bumabalik sa zero.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

asr-005508

Kaya yan po, suggestion lang natin. So halos naman na itanong na lahat yung mga gusto ko sanang itanong.

Source

Rep. Eulogio "Leo" R. Rodriguez

So Mr. Chair, kunin ko na rin pong pagkakataon na ito upang pasalamatan ang ating butihing sekretary, Francis Tolentino, para sa kanyang mahusay na leadership sa DOLE.

they are given 20,000

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005738

we group them together

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005739

and so they have

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005740

200,000 or 250

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005741

and you know

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005742

they are able to proceed with their livelihood

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005743

and these are people

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005744

from the barangays

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005745

and they have this

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005746

fish vending

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005747

they have farmers groups

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005748

so this is

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005749

these are the things

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005750

that we with RD Suyao

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005751

has been doing very well

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005752

again, can you stand up again

so that's what we have

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005755

Mr. Chairman

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005756

now for TESDA

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005757

can you turn back the clock

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005758

I'm going to turn back the clock

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005759

I'm going to end because this is

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005760

so, for TESDA

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005761

I would like to recognize

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005762

where is Regional Director

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005763

Brogy Abrogar

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005764

Tumutuloy yung ano

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005765

Tumutuloy yung ano

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005766

Mr. Chairman tumutuloy yung the time

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005767

I already stopped

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-005768

stop the time

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005769

I lost already

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005770

15, back to 15

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005771

because Mr. Chairman

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005772

with Kiko Benitez

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005773

who is really hardworking

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005774

and very much

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005775

you know, very focused

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005776

on matching

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005777

the needs of the industry

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005778

and the training

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005779

of TESDA, that is the point

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005780

we do not want to have training

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005781

where there are no employers

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005782

and that is the trust

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005783

of our Secretary

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005784

Kiko Benitez

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005785

that's why with Brogy Abrogar

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005786

let him come in

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005787

we have for TESDA

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005788

a step, special training

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005789

for employees program

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005790

and then we give toolkits

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005791

see, with toolkits

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005792

so therefore

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005793

when I talk to them Secretary

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005794

I warn them, this is

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005795

usufruct only

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005796

this is not given to you

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005797

in 100% ownership

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005798

because you say, not for sale

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005799

malaki doon, not for sale

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005800

and so therefore

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005801

with that Mr. Chairman

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005802

not for sale, I told them

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005803

if you sell TESDA toolkits

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005804

you go to jail

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005805

so far nobody has come out with Lazada

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005806

that they are selling

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005807

then also TWSP Mr. Chairman

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005808

TWSP is also the training

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005809

for work scholarship program

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005810

we have also given

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005811

to our, both of these

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005812

they give honorarium

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005813

of course step my toolkits

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005814

and then we have the

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005815

enterprise based education and training

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005816

the EBET, we are doing that also

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005817

with our regional director

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005818

sana ba si Brogy?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005819

so all of this

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005820

would show Mr. Chairman

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005821

that the DOLE

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005822

and the TESDA

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005823

are present really in my district

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005824

and that is why

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005825

as the representative

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005826

of the second district

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005827

where all of these programs

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005828

have been given to the serving beneficiaries

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005829

I am therefore constrained

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005830

to move

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005831

in the proper time

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005832

to move Mr. Chairman

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005833

that we not only approve

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005834

the budget given

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005835

by the national expenditure program

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005836

for the DOLE

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005837

and also for TESDA

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005838

but then to increase

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005839

their budget

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005840

by having them submit

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005841

their priority

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005842

so kindly submit

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005843

the secretary

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005844

can you submit

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005845

you will reduce

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005846

based on my records here

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005847

you will reduce

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005848

by a total of

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005849

9 billion

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005850

from 2026 level correct?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005851

9 billion

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005852

TESDA, you were reduced by a total of 5 billion, you see?

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005853

You had before 20, 26, now 20 only.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005854

So please give us a priority.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005855

I was talking to our chairperson, Mika Swansing,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005856

and here she is telling us that we ask the agencies to submit the priority,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005857

from the top priority, then down,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005858

so that we may not be able to give everything, Mr. Chairman,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005859

but then the priority, the first priorities, we hope will be given to you.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005860

So with that, with our chairman, Romel Angara, leading the charge,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005861

for the increase of your budget, I am confident that in the proper time,

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005862

your budgets will be augmented and increased.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005863

So again, Mr. Chairman, our support to the budget and augmentation of DoLE and also TESDA.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005864

Thank you very much, Chairman, for allowing me.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-005865

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-005866

Thank you very much, Representative Rufus Rodriguez.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-005867

From what you are saying, I can see in the background that Congressman Leo Rodriguez is very angry.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-005868

Because if there is an increase, he may give his livelihoods to the Tanduanes.

Source

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez

asr-005869

Yes, that's right.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-005870

So next on, moving along, from the majority again, Representative Jan Chan.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005871

Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and Mr. Secretary, Director General, and the DoLE family.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005872

Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005873

Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and Mr. Secretary, Director General, and the DoLE family.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005874

So actually, I'm here today to help this...

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005875

Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and Mr. Secretary, Director General, and the DoLE family.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005876

To help this committee give the department and the whole DoLE family what it needs to effectively perform its mandate under the labor code.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005877

So, my first question is really about the visitorial and enforcement powers of the DoLE.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005878

Because as a labor law practitioner before entering politics, I saw that there are some cases wherein if we just fully fund or support or give enough funding for the enforcement power of the DoLE,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005881

may mga cases po sana na

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005882

natulungan po talaga natin fully yung mga laborers.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005883

And one of those cases is

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005884

the Manggagawa sa Komunikasyon ng Pilipinas

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005885

versus PLDT,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005886

which was decided in February 2024.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005887

So, what happened in 2016 was the Department of Labor and Employment inspected the company pursuant to its Article 128 power.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005888

And in January 2018, the Secretary of Labor ordered the regularization of the Inspector General's license,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005889

And in January 2018, the Secretary of Labor ordered the regularization of the contracted

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005890

workers.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005891

So there was about 7,344 of them on the final count.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005892

And I think this was one of the largest regularizations that happened in our country.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005893

So the court set aside some of the categories.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005894

So they regularized some, but they also set aside some of the categories such as janitorial,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005895

IT, back office, call centers, and the like.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005896

So these were thousands of workers, not because the DOLE was wrong, but because the labor

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005897

law compliance officers had interviewed, in the court's words, not more than 1,000 individuals

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005898

and applied the findings to 7,344.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005899

So the court wrote that conclusions based on sampling or probability in its decision

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005900

should not be considered substantial evidence.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005901

So my question is, today, how many inspectors are actually on paper, and how many of the

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005902

inspectors are actually on the field deployed and doing their inspection powers?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005903

A while ago, Your Honor, we were really confronted with that continuing challenge of lack of

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005904

manpower insofar as the labor inspectorate is concerned.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005905

Yung inabutan ko, dapat daw ay 1,210

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005906

ang sa buong Pilipinas,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005907

subalit sa ngayon ay wala pang 700.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005908

Dumaan sila sa isang masusing eksaminasyon, subalit kahit

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005909

mabuo yung 1,210, that would not be sufficient

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005910

to address that continuing concern.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005911

Kulang talaga. Hindi kaya, hindi lamang sa mga pribadong establishments

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005912

kundi pati government projects.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005913

Ang nag-i-inspect din po noon, DOLE.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005914

So hindi talaga kayang punuan o

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005915

So hindi talaga kayang

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005916

punuan o gampanan. So as to the details of, I agree with you,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005917

yung kaso sigurong iyon ay kung nagkaroon ng tama at

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005918

appropriate labor inspection,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005919

Article 128

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005920

ay siguro

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005921

may

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005922

sapat na

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005925

compliance

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005926

kasi na-correct

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005927

naman po iyan eh.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005928

But as to the

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005929

other details,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005930

is BLE here

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005931

o sino

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005932

sasagot?

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005933

Yes.

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005934

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005945

what does an inspection now have to look like to survive judicial review?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005946

Because, given the case, given the requirements of the Supreme Court,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005947

how many interviews, how many inspector days,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005948

for example, an establishment similar to the establishment in the Supreme Court case?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005949

As an estimate, please.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.

asr-005950

Our current inspection is,

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.

asr-005951

ngayon ay tripartite.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.

asr-005952

So that way we can be sure na represented lahat ng mga sectors.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.

asr-005953

Employers, workers at saka government.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005954

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005955

So, now on to the budget.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005956

So, under the NEP, the labor laws compliance is at around ₱877 million.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005957

So, what is the ideal figure?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005958

What is the ideal peso figure?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005959

For every large establishment, inspectors, the evidence the Supreme Court now requires.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.

asr-005960

Actually, ang iniisip namin ay more or less 9,000 inspectors

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Felipe N. Egargo Jr.

asr-005961

para mahagip natin ang karamihan na establishments.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005961-split-2

Opo, 8,000 ang kulang.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005962

Actually, I ask these questions po just to emphasize how important it is to support and to fully fund

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005963

the endeavors of the NEP.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005964

So, what is the objective of the NEP when it comes to the inspection and the Visitorial Enforcement Power?

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005965

Because enforcement power without manpower to prove the case is really not enough.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005966

So, just to move on to another question.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005967

Regarding po sa Bicol wage and the diesel shock,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005968

kasi currently ₱455 po yung minimum wage sa Bicol,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005969

around ₱11,830 sa isang buwan.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005973

Pero doon sa dalawang buwan po this year, may dumoble po yung presyo ng diesel.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005974

May sariling patakaran po yung wage commission na pwedeng buksan ulit yung wage order

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005975

kapag biglang tumaas po yung presyo ng, for example, petrolyo.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005976

So yung question ko lang po, yung Region 5 po, RTWPB,

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005977

did it formally assess whether a supervening condition existed after that fuel shock?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005978

Your Honor, nandito ata yung Region 5.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005979

We have a new Region 5 director.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005980

Si Director Panlilio, she just assumed office. Pero ilang araw ka na ba doon? Bago pa lang eh. Hindi pa siya nakaka-assume. So NWPC perhaps give input? Ah, go ahead.

Source

DOLE Region V Regional Director Geraldine M. Panlilio

asr-005981

With the permission po of our honorable Secretary, the Bicol Region, in consideration of the current

Source

DOLE Region V Regional Director Geraldine M. Panlilio

asr-005982

wage order na ₱455 po ang current minimum wage. Currently po, undergoing na kami, diretso na, mayroon na pong kino-conduct na wage deliberation para po ma-review na natin talagang kailangan na

Source

DOLE Region V Regional Director Geraldine M. Panlilio

asr-005983

because of the current situation. Thank you po.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005983-split-2

Thank you very much po. So just another question

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005984

regarding that so what does the wage commission

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005985

need to make sure that when an extraordinary shock uh hits workers the mechanism already

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005986

written into the rules of the wage commission can actually be used. Enough na rin po ba yung current po na?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-005986-split-2

NWPC? Is she here? [unclear].

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-005987

Good afternoon, Your Honors. [unclear], nakalagay po sa guidelines ng minimum wage determination that the board, based on their assessment of the socioeconomic conditions,

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-005988

and if the wage order is not yet has reached its anniversary they have for the power to evaluate

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-005989

whether there exists and supervening condition or not but it has to go through the commission

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-005990

for affirmation even before they conduct a public hearing.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005990-split-2

Okay po. So bale, just to reiterate the

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005991

just to clarify lang din po the nwpc has what it needs to enforce and to

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005992

operationalize po the rules that are already written in its ano.

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-005992-split-2

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005992-split-3

Okay po.

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-005993

Thank you po. For the second tranche, kapagka ito ay

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-005994

na-approve na yung wage order, effective na po iyon. Hindi na po iyon mababago.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005996

Okay, maraming salamat po. Actually iyon lang naman po yung mga katanungan ko, and gusto ko lang po sabihin na a labor law is

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005997

only as strong as the department that enforces it.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005998

So I hope the department will tell this committee

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-005999

po, plainly what it needs to be restored to the budget.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-006000

And I just want to manifest my full support for the department

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-006001

and all the Department of Labor and Employment family.

Source

Rep. Jan Franz Norbert Joselito A. Chan

asr-006002

Next on the list, of course, from the majority,

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-006006

of course, Representative Miro Kimbo.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006007

Kasisimula ko pa lang eh.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006008

Ha? Teka, parang sinimulan ninyo sa iyong pag-immediate na zero.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006009

Baka kay Congressman Eli ninyo balak gawin iyon.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006010

Hindi sa akin.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006011

I'm tempted to give my time to Kong Eli

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006012

so that I will have more time.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006013

Because this is...

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006014

Well, anyway, magandang gabi po sa ating lahat.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006015

Gabi na eh, 5:43 na dito.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006016

Gabi na ho sa amin iyan eh.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006017

I think that, you know,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006018

while the function of the department

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006019

of labor is to protect workers,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006020

but on the flip side,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006021

much of the programs that have also been very impactful

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006022

are the job opportunities

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006023

that the department has been able to afford.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006024

I am a living witness kung how life-changing these programs are

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006025

on how life-changing these programs are

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006026

to individuals and their respective families.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006027

What in my mind used to be a political tool,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006028

meaning meant to assuage

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006029

temporary jobs,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006030

temporary difficulties of families,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006031

are really lifeboats.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006032

They are important.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006033

They come at a very critical time in their lives

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006034

na talagang life-changing

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006035

iyong opportunity na binibigay.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006036

You're talking about GIPs

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006037

who are taking up,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006038

or were taking up criminology

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006039

or in the allied medical

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006040

and are out of school,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006041

are actually able to eventually find employment,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006042

because they're able to see

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006043

the direct connection of their education

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006044

vis-a-vis employment,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006045

and so much more.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006046

In our district alone,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006047

when you look at how TUPAD has been able to help

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006048

a secretary in terms of

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006049

helping the city

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006050

lift from the chaos of flooding,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006051

while not originally intended for that,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006052

but ito talagang malaki at importanteng bagay

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006053

para sa disaster response.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006054

So these are things that were not originally contemplated,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006055

but like with many things,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006056

hindi originally intended,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006057

ito iyong mga mabibigat ang nagiging impact.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006058

At sana ituloy natin ang mga programang ito.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006059

Wala na po akong masasabi.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006060

Of course, TESDA with Congressman Kiko,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006061

I mean,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006062

Secretary Kiko has been at the forefront

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006063

in trying to find ways to make these programs more relevant

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006064

and finding the right courses or programs

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006065

that are attuned to the job needs.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006066

So just looking from my vantage point,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006067

Secretary Tolentino,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006068

I've seen your work in .

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006069

MMDA when I was a member of Congress and how impressed I was then.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006070

And I'm sure with the short period of time and over the next 21 more months before the

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006071

term of the President ends, I'm sure you will have equal or even a bigger impact than

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006072

you had in MMDA.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006073

So please, always from our vantage point, just looking at the Dolly family, the department

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006074

is in good hands.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006075

And please count on our support.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006076

But before I end, may I know if the new Regional Director of the Department of Labor for NCR

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006077

is he or she here?

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006078

I think we have one here.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006079

Oh, okay.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006080

What is your name, sir?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-006081

Roy Buenafe.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006082

So I will put you on my phone as number one priority call.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006083

Oo ha. So tatawagan kita ha.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006084

Yung para...

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006087

Magandang gabi din po sa inyo.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006088

So, like I said, secretaries, I wish you well.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-006089

And I wish you luck as we wrap up today and turn over to Cong Eli San Fernando.

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

asr-006132

ang nilalaman ng wage order number 28?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-006133

It's an increase of

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-006134

60 pesos. That would make

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-006135

the minimum wage in NCR

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-006136

highest minimum wage is

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-006137

Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-006144

if we look back

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-006145

wage order number 27,

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-006146

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-006153

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

of which wage order number

ay nagaganap dahil sa pag-uusap-usap sa likod ng mga miyembro ng regional wage boards.

two three four five six seven simulations po ang ginamit nila kung ang gagamitin po natin ay

several years lumalabas po na 51 pesos pero ang ginamit po ng ating regional board is the two-tiered

asr-006264

based on their simulation that they will give higher higher proportion for the

asr-006265

average wage that exists in the region lumalabas po na 85 pesos yun pong

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-006266

amount okay but of course that is a deliberation between the boards and

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-006267

these amounts only serve as inputs for their deliberations so there were

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-006268

members of the boards who would want a 75 pesos wage increase given in one

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-006269

tranche but there are board members that did not agree to it because they said

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-006270

that that amount of money would be used

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-006271

is very high and therefore they agreed on a tranching and the tranching for the

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-006272

85 is to give 60 pesos for this year and another 25 pesos for January [unclear] that

ng dagdag sahod ang mga regional wage boards natin wala talaga at malayo sa realidad ngayon po Mr. Chair kaya ko po binabanggit na makasaysayan itong nangyari dito sa dagdag sahod natin dahil nga po sa halip na tindigan at bibigyang diin ko po to sa halip na tindigan yung wage order number 27 e mas minabuti pa ng dole na maglabas ng wage order number 28 hindi po dapat isuko yung wage order number 27

asr-006371

complex of senior high school, TESDA,

and a state university.

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

asr-006373

So, can you please tell us more about

asr-006374

the ladderization program, and how

we can connect

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006378

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

That is actually a perfect example

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006380

of how a one education

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006381

system can work. So,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006382

the idea, Kong, is to have

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006383

as seamless a pathway as

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006384

possible, but it will depend on

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006385

qualification sector by qualification

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006387

sa pangangailangan ng pampanga,

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006388

kung anong klaseng sektor ang gusto

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006389

niyong i-prioritize. Sana naman

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006390

po ang senior high school natin

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006391

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006393

for that specific qualification

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006394

that's needed. And then, TESDA

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006395

ma'am and the SUC

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006396

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

unang-una pong punto is

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006425

Ma'am, you don't need to put a TESDA in each and

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006426

every one of them. What they can do is they can

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

offer a program, a TVET program

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006428

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

May I ask, what percentage of

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

asr-006442

TESDA schools in the Philippines are private

Source

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

asr-006443

versus what percent are

Source

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

asr-006444

government? Kasi po, meron kaming

Source

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

asr-006445

government school, pero ang daming tumatawag

Source

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

asr-006446

sa akin na private school na maglagay daw ako

Source

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

asr-006447

sa kanila. But I prefer

Source

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

asr-006448

to have government school.

Source

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

asr-006449

So, can you share with us, I don't know

Source

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

asr-006450

how many government or private, and

Source

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

asr-006451

what is the percentage? Kasi alam ko

Source

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

asr-006452

sa CHED, dumadami iyong mga state colleges.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006453

Yes po.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006454

Sa TESDA po, there are

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006455

4,715

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006456

private institutions.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006457

But only 271

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006458

public institutions.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006459

Ito po iyong LUCs at SUCs

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006460

na may TESDA program.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006461

And 178 TTIs.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006462

So, it's around

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006463

8 or 9 percent lang po ang public.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006464

The 91 to 92 percent

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006465

po are private, nationwide.

Source

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

asr-006466

Is there,

Source

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

asr-006467

can you expound more on

Source

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

asr-006468

this?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006469

Mas marami

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006470

pong institutions

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006471

na private nationwide,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006472

ang nag-o-offer po ng TVIs.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006473

The distinction lang, ma'am,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006474

is that the public institutions

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006475

tend to be in places that

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006476

either are in need

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006477

of specific chartered,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006478

hindi necessarily market-driven,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006479

but chartered

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006480

courses, and or

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006481

what might be emerging or needed

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006482

by that locality specifically.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006483

Yeah? So, basta

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006484

ang ratio po is

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006485

90, around 90 percent

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006486

of the TVIs or the

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006487

TECVOC institutions

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006488

nationwide are actually private.

Source

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

asr-006489

Because I went to Singapore and their

Source

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

asr-006490

largest one was a government institution.

Source

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

asr-006491

So, are we

Source

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

asr-006492

considering that or consider expanding

Source

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

asr-006493

the government's role

Source

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

asr-006494

in TESDA

Source

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

asr-006495

schools?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006496

Sana naman po, pero wala po kaming

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006497

budget na ibinigay

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006498

ng DBM for. We have

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006499

a SIPTIVET project, which

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006500

I think was what was one of the things mentioned

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006501

in Catanduanes, for

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006502

facilities po, for regional training

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006503

innovation center, for the regional

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006504

training centers, no?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006505

Ang sa Pampanga po ay

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006506

nasa Clark.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006507

Pero ang Puyat School po

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006508

ang magmamanage. Ito po ay magiging

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006509

branch po ng Puyat School, no?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006510

So, there is a proposal

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006511

to create a polytechnic

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006512

system, similar to

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006513

Singapore. But at this point,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006514

it may not

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006515

it may not be

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006516

the most efficient use,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006517

of government funds to compete

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006518

necessarily with the private

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006519

provisions. It's much better, ma'am,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006520

to complement each other

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006521

so that we can maximize the investment

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006522

into the sector.

Source

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

asr-006523

Sa amin po, we're more

Source

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

asr-006524

than willing to build all the buildings.

Source

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

asr-006525

Ang problema, yung TESDA

Source

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

asr-006526

seems they cannot cope up

Source

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

asr-006527

with the buildings that we can

Source

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

asr-006528

produce.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006529

Napapalitan na po yan.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006530

So, slowly, more and more provision

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006531

is being given, in fact, to public

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006532

institutions.

Source

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

asr-006533

I was informed by a regional director,

Source

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

asr-006534

bago pa lang po siya, pero napakasipag po,

Source

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

asr-006535

na I would like to especially

Source

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

asr-006536

mention our RD. Magiging

Source

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

asr-006537

regional hub po yung aming TESDA

Source

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

asr-006538

because we are the only TESDA

Source

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

asr-006539

school with 3 hectares

Source

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

asr-006540

of titled land. So, can you expound

Source

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

asr-006541

more on the regional hub?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006542

So, the idea of the regional

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006543

hub po, as I said, is there's a regional

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006544

training center that usually is attached

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006545

to an innovation center

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006546

that will become a hub or an

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006547

apex po for the polytechnic, emerging

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006548

polytechnic system in the country.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006549

Ang bawat region po, ang magkakaroon

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006550

ng isang whether amalgamated

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006551

or single system.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006552

TESDA po is

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006553

looking at different models

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006554

for how to create what

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006555

in other countries might be called the

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006556

TAFE system in Australia

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006557

or a community college system in the US

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006558

per region po.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006559

And it will be in

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006560

Pampanga po for

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006561

kasi kayo

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006562

po ang may lupa po

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006563

for the TESDA schools.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006564

Yes po.

Source

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

asr-006564-split-2

Okay, thank you so much.

Source

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

asr-006565

That's very interesting. And lastly,

Source

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

asr-006566

lastly,

Source

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

asr-006567

my question is

Source

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

asr-006568

ano po ang mas marami?

Source

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

asr-006569

Ang out-of-school youth

Source

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

asr-006570

or yung youth po na

Source

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

asr-006571

nag-pro proceed sa college?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006572

Ma'am, out-of-school

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006573

youth po. Kasi pati po

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006574

ang nasa college ay nagda-drop out

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006575

to around 35 to 40 percent

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006576

after the second year.

Source

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

asr-006577

So what percentage would you say would be

Source

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

asr-006578

in the college and those

Source

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

asr-006579

out of the college?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006580

Nako po ma'am, mahirap po

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006581

because hindi naman siguro.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006582

Ang mga nasa 60-40

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006583

siguro ma'am ang estimate ko.

Source

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

asr-006584

Okay. So what is the budget of the TESDA

Source

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

asr-006585

compared to the CHED?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006586

Ma'am, mas maliit po kami.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006587

Kami po ang pinakamaliit.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006588

Mas malaki po ang CHED.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006589

Part of that is because

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006590

there is a preference

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006591

locally.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006592

No, culturally to go to

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006593

higher education under CHED

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-006594

than to take tech-voc po.

Source

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

asr-006595

So my question

Source

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

asr-006596

is, bakit

Source

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

asr-006597

if we are serving more sa TESDA

Source

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

asr-006598

supposedly those who cannot go to college

Source

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

asr-006599

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Ngunit bukod sa guidelines ng mga departamento,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006877

mahalaga rin na kumilos ang Kongreso

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006889

ginagawa ng DOLE para mawakasan

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006890

ng child labor. Sa ulat ng

sa taong 2025.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006896

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Habang at tinitiyak din natin yung

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

of our Secretary,

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006902

maganda po yung nabanggit

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006903

ninyo about child labor.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006904

Gusto ko lang pong banggitin

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006905

na itong

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006906

based sa 2025 na datos,

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006907

medyo tumaas siya ng kaunti

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006908

compared sa 2024.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006909

But if we compare it to our

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006910

previous data in prior

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006913

more than 900,000 po yun.

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

And then, latter years,

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006915

nasa 600,000 plus. And the latest,

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006916

this one is 513,000

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006917

plus. Makikita natin

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006918

na nagkakaroon ng downward trend.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006919

And I think,

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006920

if I may say, that it is

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006921

not only one department that

is doing this, but we are

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-006986

ang TESDA para sa kanilang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006987

program for child development workers.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006988

May pagbaba ito para sa

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006990

Nasa 49,000 lang po na

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006992

kung sino-sino ang nakikinabang

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006993

sa inyong mga scholarships?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006994

Anong resulta ng programa? Lahat ba

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006995

ng mga graduates ninyo ay nakadeploy na

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006996

sa mga child development

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006997

centers? May na-identify ba

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006998

kayo ng mga problema? Halimbawa,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-006999

kung sa isang LGU walang CDC,

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007000

paano ho ang

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

Mr. Chair, the

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007004

child development worker training

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007005

that TESDA provides is actually for

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007006

incumbent child development workers.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007007

So, employed na ho sila ng mga

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007008

LGU. There is a target

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007009

that gets prioritization

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007010

po that we receive as

part of the ECCD council

Mr. Chair, are those

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007014

that the ECCD council have identified

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007015

as not having

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007016

college degrees. So,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007017

ito po ang mga mostly

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007018

volunteers po na child development

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

ng professionalization track.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007021

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007027

Uunahin po natin, kagaya nang sinabi

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007028

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007033

for child development workers.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007034

So, what we've also done

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007035

is to allow for those that wish

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007036

to be trained.

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007037

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007213

Mahalaga ito, Mr. Chair, dahil nakita natin na wala akong national government agency

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007214

ang sumisilip na kumusta na ba yung ating mga public markets.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007215

Kumusta na ba yung interest ng market vendors?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007216

Tulad ng nasabi ninyo, marami nang nagiging privado o may mga PPP sa mga market natin sa buong bansa.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007217

Paano natin matitiyak na may bosses pa rin sila pagdating sa palisya

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007218

na kung may mga issues at concerns sila sa mga PPP ay nagagawan ng aksyon?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007219

Kaya tayo ay mag-propose ng isang dialogue or consultation sa DOLE tungkol dito.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007220

Bilang panghuli, Mr. Chair, tungkol sa COA report, tungkol sa repeat beneficiary sa TUPAD.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007221

May ginawa na bang aksyon dito ang DOLE?

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007222

Mahalaga ito sa kapulungan na ito dahil billion-billion ang nakalaan dito sa TUPAD.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007223

Yung dapat sanang billion-billion para sa trabaho at kabuhayan, dito ho nakalaan.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007224

Kaya dapat maiwasan natin yung ganitong mga gawi na may repeat beneficiaries

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007225

habang nananawagan pa rin tayo na dapat sana billion-billion din yung pondo para sa domestic job creation.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007226

Ayun na po yung panghuli kong katanungan at manifestation, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007227

Maraming salamat sa DOLE at papakinggan ko ang inyong aksyon tungkol sa bagay na ito.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007228

Siguro po si Asec Ami Reyes can provide.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007229

Patungkol doon sa umuulit kasi dapat may grace period yun.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007230

We avoid favoritism. We give others the job opportunities as well.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007231

Thank you, Sec.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007232

Regarding po doon sa mga complaints na may mga like double availments, yung po ba ang ibig niyo pong banggitin?

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007233

Kasi under our existing guidelines, dapat once lang.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007234

Every calendar year.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007235

So ngayon, we are enhancing our TUPAD monitoring system na i-implement ng lahat po ng mga regional offices

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007236

para sa ganon makita ka agad kung may duplication.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007237

And there is already a coordination being made with the PSA on the use of their portal to easily check yung validity po, no?

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007238

At saka yung coordination.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007239

Correctness and authenticity of the IDs being presented.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007240

And of course, ito pong recently lang ho, our Secretary issued a memorandum to all our regional offices to closely monitor iyong implementation ho ng TUPAD in all regions and provinces and areas

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007241

to ensure that what is being delivered as part of the performance under the contract of TUPAD,

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007242

are being done based on the terms of their hiring and based on the work program.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007243

Meron po kasing work program, ma'am, yun bago ho ma-approve yung sa 2-pad natin.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007244

So nandiyan po kami sa punto na kailangan talaga close monitoring.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007245

Challenge din po sa amin yan kasi we have also very limited number of our personnel on the ground.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007246

And tumutulong po.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007247

And if we have a partner agency or partner government under our convergence program, we also ask them to help in monitoring.

Source

DOLE Assistant Secretary Amuerfina R. Reyes

asr-007248

So it's not just about fielding them on the ground, but seeing to it that they are doing their job and they are also protected while they are doing their job.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007249

Maraming salamat.

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007250

Alagay ko na lang ho sa record ang ating request para sa status report ng inyong...

Source

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007251

programa para sa paggamit ng single entry approach at ang compliance ng DOLE at ng TESDA sa kanyang gender and development mandate.

Rep. Sarah Jane I. Elago

asr-007252

Maraming salamat.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007255

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007256

Anyway, we're waiting for Chairman Mika.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007257

I just...

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007258

While it is a manifestation, can I ask Attorney Roy Buenafe to please take the seat?

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007259

I just have a very quick...

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007260

Because I don't want us leaving with a misimpression regarding wage order number 27 and 28.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007261

So clarify ko lang ha.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007262

So wage order number 26, 18 July 2025, the minimum wage was 695 pesos, correct?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007263

With the permission of...

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007264

of the Secretary, Mr. Chair, that is correct po.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007265

Wage order number 27, one year later, issued on 20 July 2026, mandated 755 pesos, correct?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007266

Yes po, on the first tranche, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007267

Correct.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007268

60 pesos on the first tranche.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007269

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007270

20 pesos come January 26.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007271

25 pesos po.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007272

25 pesos come January 2027, correct?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007273

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007274

But that Wage Order No. 27 has been sent to purgatory.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007275

By virtue of the injunction application, which effectively was granted, but is still awaiting resolution relative to the failure or non-posting of the bond, correct?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007276

Tama po, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007277

But the court has not yet set it aside.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007278

So, in short, the injunction remains effective until and unless the court issues an order rescinding the same.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007279

Tama?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007280

Yes po, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007281

So, while in fact there has been...

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007282

On record, no filing of any bond, we cannot yet assume that the injunction is found to be sufficient until and unless the court orders so.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007283

As a lawyer also, Mr. Chair, I believe so.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007284

Yes po, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007285

Correct.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007286

Tama?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007287

Tama po.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007288

Okay.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007289

So, in view of that, and in view of the seeming difficulties that our workers are going through,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007290

the Wage Board took the initiative and exercised its extraordinary powers, recognizing the difficulty that the workers are going through despite the quagmire of this injunction. You said, let us issue No. 28 para ma-implement natin at ma-address natin ang pangangailangan ng mga manggagawa.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007317

Tama ba?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007318

Yes po, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007319

That's really the rationality behind Wage Order No. 28.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007320

Yes or no lang para mabilis tayo, ha?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007321

Yes po, Mr. Chair.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007322

Yes po.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007323

So, effectively, it is incorrect to say that we just...

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007324

order number 28 is a

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007325

reduction. It cannot be

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007326

a reduction because wage order number

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007327

27 never took life.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007328

So as far as we are concerned

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007329

today, it's wage order number

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007330

26 at 695

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007331

pesos. So wage order number

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007332

28 is increasing

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007333

it by 60 pesos. Correct?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007334

Yes, po, Mr. Chairman.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007335

O, dapat ganoon ng pagsagot.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007336

Diba?

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007337

There is no diminution.

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007338

This is a fantastic

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

solution provided by

asr-007340

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007349

So let's not leave today

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007350

thinking that the Department

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007351

of Labor is responsible for

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007352

issuing a reduction

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007353

in the workers' salaries

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007354

or wages. We cannot leave

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007355

this room having that

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007356

idea. Tama ba?

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007357

Tama ba?

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007358

So, last,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007359

in the event that the

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007360

court finally issues

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007361

an order

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007362

saying that the injunction

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007363

is now functus officio, it is

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007364

dead because of their failure to issue

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007365

the bond, then therefore

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007366

wage order number 27

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007367

will come to life. Am I correct?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007368

Perhaps, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007369

So, the

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007370

wage board will

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007371

now be predisposed to make a

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007372

decision to say, uy, teka muna,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007373

we have to follow the court. The court

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007374

is now saying wage order number

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007375

27 is in effect, so therefore

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007376

wage order number 28

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007377

is now useless.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007378

I am not preempting the board, but

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007379

in all likelihood, it may take

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007380

that direction. May.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007381

Tama?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007381-split-2

Yes.

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007382

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007382-split-2

So, therefore,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007383

we are restoring

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007384

the rights of our workers

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007385

to have living

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007386

wages. While not yet

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007387

sufficient to cover

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007388

all forms of inflation,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007389

I think the Department of Labor

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007390

is taking the extra step, and

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007391

it's not sleeping on its job.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007392

Diba? Because

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007393

you could be accused of

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007394

circumventing the injunction

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007395

by issuing number 28.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007396

But despite that,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007397

the department or the wage

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007398

board,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007399

rather, which is an independent

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007400

body, not subject to the

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007401

influence of the Secretary of Labor,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007402

is taking

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007403

the extra step to be diligent

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007404

enough to protect the workers.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007405

So, you should be lauded.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007406

You should be lauded

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007407

while some government

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007408

officials or agencies would have

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007409

said, wala tayong magagawa kasi

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007410

may order eh, court yan,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007411

baka wala, wala tayong gagawa. Pwedeng

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007412

natulog na tayo at nagugust tayo ng kamay.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007413

But the Department of Labor is

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007414

not doing that. Because you

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007415

recognize the difficulty that

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007416

our workers are going through.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007417

Tama, Ardy?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007417-split-2

Yes, Mr. Chair.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007418

Okay. You will now put me as

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007419

number one in your

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007420

speed dial, ha?

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007421

Am I correct?

Source

DOLE NCR Regional Director Atty. Roy L. Buenafe

asr-007422

Sigurado pa, Mr. Chair. Yes, sir.

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007423

So, I congratulate you for that, ha?

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007424

For that action. And to the department,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007425

we are being proactive. Hindi tayo

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007426

natatali sa legal obstacles

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007427

na ilalagay. Alam natin

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007428

ay hindi tayo nagpapalusot dito sa

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007429

trabaho. So, all the more, I

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007430

congratulate the entire Department

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007431

of Labor for this

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007432

initiative. Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair,

Source

Rep. Atty. Miro S. Quimbo

asr-007433

for the opportunity.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007434

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007437

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007438

Miro. Because, gaya na po

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007439

sinabi nung ating briefing,

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007440

kailangan short, precise, but straight

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007441

to the point yung sagot po natin. Because,

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007442

kanina nga po, hindi rin ako satisfied doon sa

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007443

sagot ng ating Arding,

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007444

ngayon, nag-agree po kami na i-clarify

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007445

na mabuti. Because, it wasn't really answered

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007446

na wala nga magiging decrease

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007447

because, in the first place, wala

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007448

pa naman po yung wage order number 27.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007449

So, thank you again, Representative

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007450

Miro Quimbo.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007451

For the record, sinunutusan lang po ako

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007452

ng chairman na.

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007453

So, tapos na po tayo doon sa

asr-007468

kung doon sa ating, mamaya na lang po tayo

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007471

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007472

We start out with the first question

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007473

regarding sa,

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007474

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007484

of the 50.3M to close

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007485

the gap so that winning a labor case

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007486

actually means getting

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007487

paid?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007488

We refer this question to the,

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007527

Next question again from the

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007528

group of NFL KMG.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007529

Pertain to the National

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007530

Minimum Wage Act

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007531

na special provision as well na

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007532

merong 5M. The current allocation

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007533

is zero

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007534

for the

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007535

upcoming year. The question

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007536

will be, which can be answered,

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007537

where is the

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007538

2027 budget? Is

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007539

NWPC resourced to study

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007540

and cost a national minimum wage?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007541

And is the

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007542

government prepared to support the National

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007543

Minimum Wage Act that should

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007544

supersede the Regional Wage Board system?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007545

Your Honor, may

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007546

we refer this to the

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007547

Commission's Executive Director?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007548

Ma'am Christy?

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007549

Mr. Chair, the

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007550

goal po of the Commission is

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007551

to provide technical assistance

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007552

to both the

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007553

Congress and the Senate.

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007554

But as to whether

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007555

we

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007556

the intention is to issue

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007557

a national minimum

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007558

wage,

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007559

we defer po

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007560

to both the Congress

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007561

and the Senate, given the technical inputs that we have provided.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007562

Okay, that is a fair answer.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007563

But can you answer, ma'am, the second one, which is, is the government prepared to support

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007564

the National Minimum Wage Act that would supersede the Regional Wage Board system?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007565

Again, for the record, that will be the same answer as you gave us.

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007566

That is not our mandate to favor any legislation.

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007567

We just here to, our mandate is to act as a technical body to the President and Congress

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007568

on matters relating to wages and productivity, but as to say whether the one is in favor

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007569

of the other.

Source

NWPC Executive Director Maria Criselda Sy

asr-007570

That is not part of our mandate.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007571

In short, Director, that the next Department will have a law in place.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007572

All right.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007573

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007574

Next question is from PBED pertaining to the IBED-NAT plan allocations.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007575

I'm sure you have the reading readiness, Secretary Kiko.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007576

I'll mention the questions already.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007577

You have the copy, Secretary Kiko.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007578

First question will be, given its long-term horizon, how is the commitment reflected in

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007579

the government's annual budget allocations?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007580

That's the first question.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007581

Secondly, specifically, what institutional guardrails or mechanism are in place to ensure

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007582

that the priorities and targets outlined in that plan are consistently translated to the

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007583

agency's budget proposals from National Expenditure Program, or NEP, to ultimately the General

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007584

Appropriations Act, or GAA?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007585

Sec, you have the floor.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007587

Well, the question about the NAP plan, in fact, permeates all of TESDA's planning.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007588

So the allocation, I could say, would be 75 to 80 percent of TESDA scholarship budgets

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007589

are actually allocated towards the NAP plan priority sectors, particularly because many

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007590

of these priority sectors overlap with the key employment-generating sectors that the

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007591

DOLE has actually identified.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007592

It's actually a narrower list than what the DOLE has given TESDA.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007594

So if the question is long-term horizon, part na po yan ng area-based demand-driven

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007595

prioritization that comes out of the DOLE and TESDA planning, kasama po dyan ang tulong

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007596

trabaho, kasama po dyan ang various national development plans.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007597

Siguro ang idadagdag ko na lang, because I think the next question is also for us.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007599

Yes.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007601

It has to do with the education and workforce development group that is now being institutionalized

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007602

under the Department of Education to make sure, in fact, that the funding allocation

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007603

and the initiatives around the implementation of the NAP plan actually continues as long

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007604

as possible, which is a 10-year horizon, which is what's in the plan.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007605

But I think DOLE would also like to respond in terms of their participation in the EWDG

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007606

and for the tulong trabaho plan.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-007608

With the permission of the Secretary.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007610

Go ahead, Yusec.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-007612

Yes.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-007613

Yes. With regards to the education and workforce development plan, kasama po ang DOLE as vice chair.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-007615

So doon sa responsibility ng DOLE is to ensure, kasi ito po iyong nasa next question, kung sino ang responsible for providing labor market information.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-007617

At ito po iyong crucial inputs namin doon sa NAP plan and under the education and workforce development plan.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-007625

Na kung saan ina-identify natin ang hard-to-fill occupations, critical skills and emerging skills.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-007626

At we are providing details on this and working closely with TESDA, DepDev, DepEd and CHED.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres

asr-007628

So kami iyong nangangailangan ng budget para sa LMI.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007648

Yes, and the current allocation is super liit. Yes, that is the reason.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007649

kinakailangan po yung importansya na malaman na yung importansya po nito next question is

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007650

on the fourth one i forgot to mention is where in this budget does the labor market information

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007651

system underpinning the national education plan actually sit and who is accountable for funding

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007652

it sinagot na ni ano then uh pertaining sa cso na nfl kmg pertaining to the labor loss

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007653

compliance and inspection program the question is uh so with this budget fund of 1.283b expansion

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007654

of the labor loss compliance and inspection program and how many of the 763 inspectors who

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007655

exist on paper were not inspecting with it finally put to work because right now the

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007657

because right now the convention we just ratified is a promise we cannot enforce.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007658

perhaps this is this is uh the reverse i think we're now uh in the threshold of nearly 700 labor

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007659

inspectors working uh the the balance would be those who are taking a re-examination because

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007660

the the reason before why they why there was a lag is because the examination was

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007661

to tough and toro not related to labor laws uh for instance a geographical description about

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007662

of a place that is not uh relative to related to labor law so i think the framing of the question

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007663

would uh somehow be uh would need correction because we just ratified a convention uh which

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007664

because we just ratified a convention which we promised but cannot enforce.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007666

even before the ratification your honor of the convention uh the labor inspectorate system has

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007667

been working so right now it's only a matter of reinforcing the same and putting on putting more

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007668

muscle and manpower and perhaps the appropriate funding requirements uh in place but just the same

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007669

to the one who asked the question

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007670

ginagawa naman poon lahat

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007671

tama lang po itong datos nyo na napakahirap

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007672

ah barely one inspector for forty thousand

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007673

oh may hirap talaga iyon

Okay.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007687

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007688

Now, for the final two questions, which are directly addressed to the secretaries of DOLE and TESDA.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007689

First, to Secretary Francis Tolentino, there's two questions, sir.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007690

A and B, I will read out first the first question.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007691

From FSL Nation.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007692

How was the department complied with previously and prospectively for 2027 for the mandate of RA 10524 on quotas for hiring on persons with disabilities, specifically deaf persons?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007693

And kadugtongponon B is how many plantilia permanent other positions for deaf persons and FSL interpreters have been previously in the past years or prospectively appropriated?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007694

For 2027.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007695

Persons with more longevity.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007696

Yes.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007697

Yusek Warren, you're recognized.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-007698

With the permission of the secretary, actually, sir, we do comply with the said Republic Act.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-007699

And at the moment, we have in the central office two PWDs.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-007700

These persons are given.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-007701

Equal opportunities for work.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-007702

And if we have vacancies and they are being posted, everybody is welcome as long as qualified for the position.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-007703

And for our regions, we'll probably get the data.

Source

DOLE Undersecretary Warren M. Miclat

asr-007704

Thank you, sir.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007705

So the specific question, Yusek Warren, you said that there's two EWDs, right?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007706

But the question is if there are other positions for deaf persons.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007707

Anyway, you can just give the data so that we can give the correct data to the committee secretary.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007708

And we will give it to the CSOs.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007709

All right.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007710

And now for TESDA, final and last question.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007711

How much did your agency appropriate for 2026 for the FSL interpreting to make all your training programs accessible and inclusive for deaf clients?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007712

Prospectively for 2027, following implementation of RA 12199, particularly for the training program for child development workers or ECCDs, has the IRR been issued?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007713

This is for, Mr. Chair, just for clarification, this is, again, for the training of the deaf, including for ECCD.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007714

Mr. Chair?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007715

Sorry.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007716

This is including for training of the deaf for ECCD as well.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007717

I'm sorry, I missed the, were there two parts to the question?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007718

The last part was prospectively for 2027, following implementation of RA 12199.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007719

Particularly for the training program for child development workers for ECCDs, has the IRR been issued?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007720

So, I'll start with the second part.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007721

Yes, go ahead.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007722

So this is the IRR for the amendments to the ECCD law, and it has been signed into law.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007723

So, I mean, the IRR has actually been promulgated already.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007724

So, to the first question.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007725

Sir, the training modules for the deaf has actually, for Filipino sign language, has actually been finished.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007726

And TESDA is now about to embark on the training of trainers, so that we can have as widespread infrastructure as possible for the training modules for Philippine sign language.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007727

Mr. Chair?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007728

Thank you, Secretary Kiko.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007729

So, Secretariat, ComSec, can you please gather all the data that was necessary for us to be able to furnish the CSOs that have been asking questions?

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007730

And for everyone's knowledge, that was the final question.

Source

Rep. Rommel Rico T. Angara

asr-007731

And I will just suspend our hearing, because when we return, I will relinquish my chair and give it to the Chairman of the Appropriations Committee.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007732

Good evening po to our Dole family and TESDA family.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007733

I wanted to be here to make sure this is the last committee hearing for this run of the budget cycle.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007734

We just finished with DSWD and ito po ang ating grand finale.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007735

It's the hearing of Dole and TESDA.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007736

So that's why I wanted to make sure po to be here for the closing.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007737

We wanted to say thank you po to everyone.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007738

It's been a long day.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007739

We started at 11 in the morning.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007740

It's 7.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007741

So we've been running for 8 hours po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007742

So I don't want to lengthen the discussions further.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007743

I think a lot of our colleagues raised a lot of the concerns, their commendation and all for Dole and TESDA.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007744

And Kong Romel will be here with you po up until the plenary.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007745

So whichever open items po are still pending,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007746

we'll work together po to be able to address those before the plenary.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007747

And before I go any further, I would like to commend and say thank you to our budget sponsors who are here today.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007748

Thank you for your exemplary leadership in today's deliberations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007749

Of course, for the Dole family, Vice Chair Romel Angara,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007750

and for the TESDA family, Vice Chair Angela Gila Garcia.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007751

Thank you.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007752

Thank you very much po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007753

We left you, Sec Kiko and Sec Tolentino, in very capable hands.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007754

They were the ones who also shepherded the passage of the budget of Dole and TESDA last year.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007755

And by this year po, experts na sila.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007756

So you are in very great hands with Vice Chair Angara and Vice Chair Garcia po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007757

And siguro po, too.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007758

So just to encapsulate today's discussions,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007759

I wanted to give our secretaries the opportunity to, again,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007760

advocate for items that may need to be restored

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007761

for the consideration of the Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007762

So siguro po, Secretary Tolentino, I have here the request letter from DOLE

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007763

pertaining to the...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007764

the additional allocation for TUPAD and GIP.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007765

So SEC, if I may request you to please reiterate

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007766

the, perhaps, the implications of not being able to restore this back to the 2026 GAA level.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007767

Because ang nangyari po, I saw in the NEP that instead of the 21 billion allocation

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007768

as reflected in the 2026 GAA,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007769

sa 2027 na po, bumalik sa 11 billion.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007770

So that represents a reduction of 10 billion peso.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007771

So if you may please enlighten the committee as to the potential impact

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007772

of not being able to restore this 10 billion pesos po in the [unclear].

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007773

I think, Your Honor, that should be read in conjunction with the recently released

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007774

labor force survey showing a decline in employment rate,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007775

as well as a, I think it's almost 2% increase in the labor force.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007776

So the said programs initiated in that communication would address these gaps that,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007777

muntik na naman akong 'this representation',

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007778

that this department feel would have to be continued.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007779

It is also very interesting, if we look at the GIP, the TUPAD,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007780

because of the uncertainties we're facing globally,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007781

even immediately after the U.S. midterm elections,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007782

science would show that the effects of the Iran war would still be there.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007783

And we feel that the drastic decline, cut,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007784

to be sustained,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007785

to be imposed on the said program would be felt even in the countrysides.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007786

A while ago, we were talking about the tweaking, the innovation of the Tupad.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007787

We've seen a lot of improvement, especially in the education sector,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007788

wherein tutors, mentors are now being exposed via the Tupad program

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007789

to increase the quality of education for grade 1, 2, and 3 pupils.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007790

We now see returning OFWs hand-in-hand with our partnership with TESDA through SECICO,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007791

the reintegration program, and a lot of other things.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007792

All these mechanisms would probably falter if we have a drastic decline

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007793

in the allocation for the programs, Your Honor.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007794

Iyon po siguro ang tenor ng naturang sulat.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007795

Subalit kanina mayroon din akong request for

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007796

Earlier, I also requested for an additional 125 million for labor justice.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007797

It is only a small amount to fulfill the dream, not only for me but for others,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007798

to have a strong academy, school, and finishing school.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007799

Our mediators, conciliators, arbiters, commissioners who provide justice for our workers.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007800

The same is the need to have more labor attorneys.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007801

We have PAO now.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007802

Madam Chairperson, it is only 75 million, not a lot.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007803

So, all in all, I sent communications to Chairman,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007804

Jolo, to the Speaker, and to Vice Chair Angara concerning this.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007805

I consider labor justice as a primordial function of DOLE.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007806

Bigyan ng karapat-dapat na karapatan, kilalanin ang manggagawang Pilipino

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007807

na itinuturing nating pawis ng Pilipino, puso ng bansa.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007808

Thank you very much.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007809

Thank you very much, Secretary Tolentino.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007810

If I may request for pertaining to the labor justice,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007811

if you may submit another letter, maybe containing both,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007812

the additional request for TUPAD amounting to 10.25 billion additional,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007813

and then the 125 million as described by the Secretary pertaining to Labor Attorney's Office.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007814

So, if...

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007815

We may request for both items.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007816

Anything else, Sec, aside from the additional allocation for TUPAD

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007817

and for the Labor Attorney's Office on the side of DOLE?

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007818

We will comply, Your Honor.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007819

We already have a copy of the folder.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007820

Here it is, it's already up to you, your additional folder.

Source

Sa darating puntaon, as I've mentioned earlier, early this afternoon,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007827

tayo po ang mamumuno ng International Labour Council ng ILO sa Geneva.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007828

Simula po noon nawala yung puder sa Department of Employment

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007829

at napunta sa Department of Migrant Workers iyong mga labor attach?s.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007830

Nangangailangan po,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007831

sa base sa mga liham na pinadala namin sa DBM,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007832

na magkaroon man lang tayo ng kahit isang desk

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007833

na puwedeng magpagawa ng calling card na labor attach? sa Geneva.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007834

Ganon din po sa Jakarta, kung saan tayo merong ASEAN Secretariat.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007835

At sa Washington, D.C., yung po yung tatlong hinihiling namin,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007836

hindi kalakihan, umaabot lang po ito sa aming pananaw,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007837

abunado pa sila.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007838

137 milyon sa tatlong tao na ipoposte sa naturang tatlong lugar

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007839

to coordinate labor policy issues including maritime conventions among others

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007840

na sa ngayon po ay meron tayong void.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007841

Isang desk lang po ang dadalin doon, isang tao,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007842

na meron naman sigurong subsistence allowance.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007843

Yes.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007844

Sabi ko nga doon,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007845

sa ambasador, doon na lang kahit matulog sa embahada,

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007846

bigyan na lang ng kwarto doon.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007847

Yun lamang po, Madam Cherang Karagdagan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007848

Thank you, Sec.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007849

We'll wait for the request.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007850

I don't know if the second folder already contained the ILO request.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007851

So we'll just wait for those, Sec.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007852

If ever, if you may please give it to us by 12 noon tomorrow,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007853

given that we're targeting to convene the BARC at the soonest possible time.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007854

So we'll, we'll,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007855

just so we can have all of these under deliberation, po.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007856

Yes, Your Honor, we'll submit.

Source

DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino

asr-007857

Ugma.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007858

Thank you very much, po, Sec. Tolentino.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007859

Sec Kiko, I will also give the floor to you po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007860

I have here, as shared with me by Kong Gila, an additional 4.7 billion request.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007861

5.3, po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007862

Sorry?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007863

Nadagdagan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007864

Oh, it's updated.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007865

Opo, it's 5.3 billion with these items, po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007866

So, essentially, po, they described it as yung mga na-restore po natin last year.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007867

Essentially, it's these items, po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007868

Ito po iyong SP-STEP, [unclear].

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007869

May dalawang dagdag po sa baba.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007870

Yeah, actually, Sec, I was gonna ask about that.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007871

Zero siya, totally, in the NEP.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007872

Because it's a new proposal, no?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007873

To make sure, ma'am, that we have the aligned senior high school teachers

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007874

for the effectiveness.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007876

for the effectivity of the rollout for grade 12 in this coming year.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007877

Not this school year, but the following school year

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007878

for the TEC Pro curriculum.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007879

This is designed to make sure that the teachers within DepEd

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007880

or within senior high school in general

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007881

have the appropriate NCs as well as the TVET learning

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007882

so that they can, in fact, be appropriately assessed.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007883

Because one of the major obstacles, ma'am, in the senior high school assessment

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007884

has been, in fact, that there are insufficient DepEd

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007885

or senior high school teachers with the appropriate training

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007886

and certification from TESDA.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007887

So this is meant to cure that, no?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007888

And the second, ma'am, is an extension, again,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007889

with regards to stunting primarily

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007890

to include barangay health workers and nutrition scholars

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007891

for the expansion of the early childhood care and development initiative.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007892

That was started in 2025 and 2026.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007893

So in those two cases, ma'am, it's meant to help respond, in fact,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007894

to the EDCOM findings and to the NAP plan.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007895

There was a question earlier.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007896

The request of 5.3 is really just to get us back to the GAA level

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007897

that we had for 2026.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007898

Rather than have a shrinkage, if you like,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007899

of the number of learners that we would,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007900

be able to serve in accordance, again,

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007901

with the initiatives we agreed to in the NAP plan.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007902

Thank you very much, po, Sekiko.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007903

If I may ask, po, these two, the last two items,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007904

were these at all included in the proposal to DBM?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007905

Or sobrang bago po siya na hindi na siya nasama?

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007906

Sobrang bago po siya.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007907

It had a different flavor.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007908

We extracted them when we were asked to prioritize

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007909

what was not given in the Tier 2.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007910

Okay, po.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007911

Thank you, Sekiko.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007912

If I may request din, po, by 12 noon tomorrow,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007913

a little bit last minute,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007914

kasa lang po, kailangan po namin ma-collate

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007915

lahat po ng mga requests for institutional amendments

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007916

from all of the different agencies.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007917

So we have time po to deliberate on the side of the BARC.

Source

TESDA Secretary Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez

asr-007918

Okay.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007919

I think those are the, I just wanted to clarify those, po,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007920

before we end today's deliberations.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007921

Given that there are no other interpolators,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007922

are there any more?

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007923

Okay.

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007924

Sige po

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007925

Before we solicit the necessary motion for Dole and TESDA,

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing

asr-007926

we would first like to take this opportunity again

Source

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing
